Comparative Analysis of Fréchet Distribution Variants: Parameter Estimation and Model Performance Evaluation
Authors: I. O. Akalagboro, , C. O. Aronu, , L. S. Mark,
Published: January 2025

This study presents a comparative analysis of six Fréchet distribution variants: Kumaraswamy Fréchet (KF), Exponentiated Fréchet (EF), Beta Fréchet (BF), Gamma Extended Fréchet (GExF), Odd Lomax Fréchet (OLxF), and the standard Fréchet (F), focusing on their structural properties, parameter estimation, and model performance. These distributions, characterized by varying levels of complexity and flexibility, are particularly effective for modelling extreme values and heavy tails, crucial in fields like econometrics and reliability analysis. Differences in Probability Density Functions (PDFs) reveal the enhanced adaptability of BF and GExF variants, attributed to their additional beta and gamma components. The models were applied to three datasets: Jobs Made of Iron Sheets, Airborne Communication Transceiver Repairs, and Tax Revenue. The performance of the distributions under study was evaluated using the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). The finding showed that the standard Fréchet distribution consistently outperformed its variants, achieving the lowest AIC and BIC values across datasets, indicating a superior balance of simplicity and adaptability. EF and KF variants demonstrated competitive performance but lacked the robustness of the standard Fréchet model, while OLxF and GExF showed higher AIC and BIC values due to potential over-parameterization. This study underscores the importance of aligning model complexity with dataset characteristics and highlights the standard Fréchet distribution as a versatile choice for analyzing extreme data.

This study responds to concerns about under-five nutrition in Indonesia, especially the levels of stunting, overweight, underweight and wasting recorded in the Indonesia Nutrition Status Survey 2022. In an effort to address these issues and for continued monitoring after toddlers pass the Kartu Menuju Sehat (KMS) at the age of more than 5 years, this study developed the "Gizi SD" application. This application is specifically designed to monitor the health and nutrition of school-age children. The application development process went through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and prototype testing, which showed good responsiveness to user needs. The app has 5 main menus in nutrition monitoring, successfully integrating the roles of parents, schools, and health centers. Through qualitative and quantitative testing, the app has succeeded in functionality, security, and performance, with prototype evaluation results showing optimal functionality and performance. A satisfactory level of accuracy and a positive level of feasibility were met. The calculation of Body Mass Index for age (BMI/U) in the app is close to the manual calculation with a conformity rate of 0.76%, superior to the WHO AnthroPlus app. Positive user acceptance marks the maturity and readiness of the app for the next step, making it a potential solution in the prevention of nutritional problems in school-aged children in Indonesia.
Hot springs as a Source for Studying Rhomboid Protease Genes and Inhibitors in Silico Study
Authors: Al Shomali Belal , Danish-Daniel Muhd
Published: January 2025

Rhomboid proteases (Rho) are affected by amino acid composition, protein structure, oligomerization, strong contacts, salt bridges, and bonding patterns. Protein tertiary structure can change with a single amino acid substitution. Rhomboids cleave misfolded membrane substrates. They help signal growth factors, maintain mitochondrial homeostasis, regulate protein quality, and invade parasites. Studying these proteins and their inhibitors will improve the medication targeting of this rhomboid protease, which is involved in the pathophysiology of numerous disorders like type II diabetes and Parkinson's. Their importance in eukaryotes is widely known, but their involvement in bacterial physiology is not. Rho genes are studied using Hot Springs metagenomic samples. JGI and IMG provided thermophilic protease sequences. MAFFT-aligned sequences. InterProScan examined every protein domain, whereas ProtParam calculated protease amino acid frequencies. I-TASSER predicts three-dimensional protein structures; CB-Dock, and Discovery Studio simulate and dock. Hot spring isolates in rhomboid gene alignments hindered the protein's evolution at high temperatures. Isolations conserved amino acid composition and active domains. Rhomboids' fundamental structure and functional locations have stayed intact across most life forms, preserving their proteolytic action. Asn 62, Trp 57, Ile 143, Phe (61, 100), Leu 99, and Arg 284 were critical in hot spring Rho genes. The fact that Rho inhibitors are active on hot spring rhomboids suggests that the enzyme has maintained a high degree of structural and functional homogeneity despite its presence in hot environments.
Comprehensive Survey on Recognition of Emotions from Body Gestures
Authors: Ramakrishna Gandi
Published: January 2025

Automatic emotion identification has emerged as a prominent area of research during the past decade, with applications in healthcare, human-computer interaction, and behavioral analysis. Although facial expressions and verbal communication have been thoroughly examined, the identification of emotions via body gestures is still inadequately investigated. Body gestures, an essential aspect of "body language" offer significant contextual indicators shaped by gender and culture variations. Recent breakthroughs in deep learning have facilitated the development of robust models capable of accurately capturing complex human movements, hence enhancing emotion recognition precision and adaptability. This study presents a thorough framework for the automatic recognition of emotional body gestures, encompassing essential elements such as individual detection, position estimation, and representation learning. High computational costs and the need for advanced algorithms to fuse multimodal data add to these hurdles. Recent advancements in deep learning, have shown great potential to overcome these issues and improve accuracy. This work highlights the applications, challenges, and future directions in emotion recognition from body gestures, emphasizing the need for scalable, robust, and real-world-ready systems that can enable emotionally intelligent technologies.
CATALIST: A new, bigger, better model for evaluating climate change transition risks at Banco de España
Authors: Veiga Duarte Rubén , Hurtado Samuel , Aguilar García Pablo A. , Quintana González Javier , Menéndez Álvarez Carolina
Published: January 2025

This paper introduces CATALIST, a production network model developed to evaluate the economic effects of energy transition risks. Building upon Aguilar, González and Hurtado (2022) and Izquierdo, Moral-Benito, Prades and Quintana (2023), CATALIST incorporates a multi-country setting and an investment network and models greenhouse gas emissions and carbon taxes. The model places special emphasis on energy inputs by accounting for renewables and energy commodities and by differentiating their use from other intermediates in production and final consumption. Our findings reveal substantial heterogeneity in the impact of regulatory shocks relating to emissions across sectors and under different schemes. Specifically, a shock to the price of emissions and an expansion of the ETS system yield similar aggregate impacts, but the latter results in greater electrification, which can be further accelerated with increased renewable energy capacity. We also find that the aggregate impact is significantly influenced by how the additional revenues from carbon taxes are utilized, with recycling through a reduction in labor taxes proving more beneficial than through lump-sum transfers. Finally, while some sectors may respond to regulatory shocks with notable declines in investment, our simulations indicate a low risk of stranded assets, at least for shocks of a size compatible with the current medium-term emissions targets.

Authors: ALI A , RIAZ K
Published: January 2025

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent and aggressive liver malignancy, often presenting at advanced stages where surgical resection is not feasible. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a minimally invasive treatment modality that has shown promise in managing unresectable HCC, yet its effectiveness for large tumors (>10 cm) remains underexplored. Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization in patients with large unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: A retrospective, case-control study was conducted in the Department of Interventional Radiology, PKLI, Lahore from September 2022 to September 2024. A total of 45 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma larger than 10 cm, eligible for TACE but refused aggressive treatment were selected as a control group of the study. A total of 50 age, tumor characteristics, and liver function-matched HCC patients who had undergone TACE were selected as the case group of the study. In the 2-3 months follow-up after TACE, tumor response by recorded by ultrasound or AFP assay. Results: The survival rate in cases (10 months, 95% CI: 5.1-14.3 months) was significantly higher than the control group (2 months, 95% CI: 1.05-3.22 months) (p<0.0001). The 1-year survival was 42% and 8% in cases and controls, respectively. The 2-year survival was 23% and 8%, respectively. Univariable analysis shows INR 1.2 or less, total bilirubin less than 1.6 mg/dL, liver reserve, and TACE were significantly associated with survival. Multi-variable analysis showed that INR of 1.2 or less and TACE remained significant for longer survival. Conclusion: TACE is a successful and safe treatment option for unresectable HCC tumors larger than 10 cm.

Evolution of Monitoring and Forecasting of Southwest Monsoon
Authors: Rajeevan Dr. M , Pattanaik D.R.
Published: January 2025

In this review article, we discuss how monsoon monitoring and forecasting has evolved over the last 150 years. Since there are several other articles in this issue on short-range and operational forecasts of the IMD, we focus only on the details of monsoon monitoring, extended range forecasts (10-30 days) and seasonal forecasts (up to one season). IMD now has a system to monitor the monsoon performance at the district level on a daily basis. Under the monsoon mission, IMD has been able to set up an extended range forecasting system which now has a capability of skilful prediction up to 2 weeks. In some special cases, the skill is extended to three weeks. IMD is the first country to begin systematic research into seasonal monsoon forecasting. Statistical models formed the backbone of the IMD’s seasonal forecasting system. Since 2017, the IMD has also been using dynamic models for seasonal forecasts. Opportunities to further improve monsoon monitoring and forecasting systems are also identified and discussed.
A Need to Revisit Air Temperature Measurements in India in the 19th and Early 20th Centuries
Authors: Kelkar R. R.
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT. The paper focuses on two major transitions that the meteorological observational system in India has undergone. The first was in the late 1870s when thermometer sheds were set up at Indian observatories, and the second in the 1920s when there was a changeover from thermometer sheds to Stevenson screens. The paper expresses the need to investigate possible biases in the data and apply corrections in order to construct a more credible and homogeneous 150-year temperature record over India.
Effect of Soil Salinity on Thermal Behavior of Sandy Soils Under a Sahara Climate
Authors: Bennaceur Djihad , Laredj Nadia , Maliki Mustapha , Missoum Hanifi
Published: January 2025

Soil salinity represents a harmful environmental problem that occurs either naturally or as a consequence of ineffective management practices by humans, especially in arid regions. Assessing ground temperature profile represents an important indicator for evaluating the performance of geothermal systems, used in air conditioning of building. This paper proposes a conceptual and numerical model for predicting the hydrothermal behavior of unsaturated soils. The effect of soil salinity was investigated in this research. Two soil types (sandy and sandy loam) were studied under three salinity levels. Moreover, the arid meteorological conditions of Sahara Desert were considered in the developed model. According to the results, it appears that sandy soils exhibit optimal thermal behavior at a moderate salinity concentration of C = 0.1 M, with increased surface temperatures during warmer periods and better heat conservation in colder conditions. Conversely, sandy loam soils respond most effectively at a higher salinity concentration of C = 0.2 M, particularly excelling in heat retention during the summer months. These results emphasize the intricate interaction between soil composition and salinity in regulating temperature patterns, providing important knowledge for enhancing soil management practices that are customized to particular soil types and environmental factors, with potential implications for geothermal applications.

Published: January 2025

This research discusses the ethical issues that the managerial accountants face and how such issues influence the organizational decision-making process. With the aim of identifying the common ethical dilemmas, understanding their causes, and offering recommendations, the scope of the research is to enhance the integrity of financial reporting and management decisions. Case studies and close examination of the literature are included in the research methodology. The case studies are centered on actual-life situations where there is a violation of ethics. This includes cost manipulation, performance reviews biased towards individual expectations, and expense misreporting. Literature review The paper views prior research on ethics in accounting. The study relies majorly on secondary data for its information. Information was gathered from industry publications and scholarly papers. The results show that conflict of interest, pressure to meet financial targets, and lack of well-outlined ethical standards are the frequent ethical problems are attributed to few common causes. Such moral slippery slopes often in  turn have been proven in research to result in business malpractices, monetary loss and  reputation loss. To reduce unethical behavior, the paper also endows with the essence  of ethics education and implementation of internal controls and procedures. The findings of the study point out the requirement for a coroner in hopes that companies will pay attention to ethical managerial accounting practice. Some of the proposals include the running of high numbers of transparent measures, professionalism and integrity education and stricter corporate governance measures.

Limitations on the Freedom of Movement of Foreigners and Asylum Seekers in Croatian Law and Practice
Authors: Staničić Frane
Published: January 2025

In reality, numerous measures can be issued that limit the freedom of movement of foreigners, including third country nationals and asylum seekers. Detaining foreigners and asylum seekers is a form of deprivation of freedom of movement and can be compared to incarceration as they can be either arrested and detained for a short period of time or detained at the Centre for foreigners. The second form of detention is more important as it can last for a relatively long period. There are numerous reasons for which a foreigner can be detained at the Centre; moreover, the detainment can be prolonged repeatedly. This is why a scrutinous control of decisions to detain a foreigner must be established and every decision of detention must be controlled by an administrative court ex officio. This represents a quasi-administrative dispute instigated ex officio to ensure the conformity of such decisions with the law. This study analyzes the legal regulation of detention of foreigners. as well as the practice of the courts to show whether the Ministry of Interior acts in accordance with the law.

Published: January 2025

This study determines the trends and perspectives regarding the development of communication skills in Colombian early education. For this purpose, a documentary review was established in different databases and digital repositories based on the following theoretical bases: principles of early education, pedagogical practices associated with communicative skills, and cognitive development for learning in preschool. The literature review process includes a first stage focused on qualitative data collection and analysis. Through an exhaustive review of various databases and digital repositories, the theoretical foundations and basic principles of early education and pedagogical practices related to communication skills and cognitive development for learning at preschool level will be explored. In this step, the search and selection of articles according to the research topic begin, focusing on the criteria of originality, sufficiency, and quality. As a result of this process, a cultural identity emerges that allows children to see themselves as autonomous individuals who are simultaneously part of a family and a wider culture.
Finally, national and international trends in early education indicate that social interactions experienced by children contribute significantly to the construction of their communicative and linguistic knowledge, allowing them to reinterpret the surrounding reality. This, in turn, facilitates the formulation of pedagogical approaches that are much more in tune with the nature of being a child, considering their interests, curiosity, learning rhythms, and educational needs. Consequently, the educational processes based on this sociocultural perspective reveal a solid and coherent identity.

Az Árpád-ház és a honfoglaló magyarság archeogenetikai adatokkal kimutatott kapcsolata a Volga‒Káma vidék népeihez
Authors: Neparáczki Endre
Published: January 2025

A magyarság eredetének és korai történetének kutatása rendkívül széles körű hazai és nemzetközi figyelemnek örvend. A dinamikus technikai fejlődésnek köszönhetően az utóbbi évtizedben a korai
magyarság és a kiemelt családok eredetének vizsgálatába az archeogenetika is bekapcsolódott. A történeti népességek – elsősorban a honfoglaló magyarság – archeogenetikai elemzése kimutatta azokat a földrajzi régiókat, ahol az egykor élt különböző népcsoportok szerepet játszhattak a magyarság etnogenezisében. Ezen területek egyike már régóta a figyelem középpontjában áll (Urál hegység környezete), viszont
a másik két régió (Belső-Ázsia és a Kaukázus előtere) a bioarchaeológiai kutatásoknak köszönhetően
került vissza a társtudományok homlokterébe. A populációgenetikai analízisek mellett az elmúlt években
a kutatások másik fő irányvonalát államalapító dinasztiánk, az Árpád-ház eredetének vizsgálata jelentette az úgynevezett Y-kromoszómás haplocsoport és teljes genom-elemzések segítségével. Tanulmányomban
– a tanulmánykötet tematikájához igazodva – hangsúlyozom azokat pontokat, amelyek a Volga‒Káma-vidék népeihez kapcsolják mind a népességet, mind az államalapító dinasztiát.
Baskírföld és a Dél-Urál régészetének aktuális helyzete a magyar őstörténet szemszögéből

Published: January 2025

A Dél-Urál kora középkori régészetének pontos ismerete elengedhetetlenül fontos a korai
magyar történelem folyamatainak feltárásához és megértéséhez. Megalapozott vélemény kialakításához
tehát nélkülözhetetlen, hogy a legfrissebb régészeti eredmények nyomán átfogó képünk legyen a régió
kora középkori tárgyi hagyatékáról. Ennek a területnek a központi része a mai Baskírföld, melynek népvándorlás és kora középkori régészeti eredményeiről összefoglaló szakcikk magyar nyelven még nem
jelent meg. Munkánkban a természetföldrajzi sajátosságok számbavétele mellett bemutatjuk a régió népvándorlás kori régészeti előzményeit a Kr. u. 2. századtól kezdve a korai magyar történelemben leginkább
ismert kusnarenkovói kultúrán át egészen a karajakupovói régészeti horizontig (Kr. u. 8–10. század).
Bár az Urál nyugati előterének régészeti hagyatéka sokkal gazdagabb és jobban kutatott, valamennyi
periódusban kitekintünk az Urál keleti előterére is. A két régió régészeti műveltségeinek összefüggései és
a kultúrák időrendi szinkronja (1. kép) ugyanis elengedhetetlenül fontos a magyar őstörténet szempontjából. Dolgozatunk végén részletesen bemutatjuk azt a csijaleki műveltséget is, amely ugyan már nem az
őstörténet közvetlen része, ugyanakkor meghatározó szerepet játszik a – nemrégiben az archeogenetika
által is igazolt – keleten maradt magyarok hagyatékának meghatározásában.

O estudo teve como objetivo observar se os produtos verdes oferecem benefícios a quem os adquirem. Considerando-se que os produtos verdes, além de investir valor financeiro, intentam em questões ambientais, sociais e de governança, proporcionando lucros aos envolvidos, este artigo tem como proposta investigar se ocorrem  rentabilidade e benefício direto ao cliente que adquire estes produtos, bem como  se há  indícios concretos de que estes produtos realmente beneficiem, de alguma forma, o meio ambiente, favorecendo a sociedade como um todo.
Subdesenvolvimento e dependência: apontamentos sobre o avanço do agronegócio
Authors: Oliveira Aline de Jesus , Ferreira Diogo da Cruz
Published: January 2025

A implantação do capitalismo no Brasil significa a instituição de um regime de exploração da força de trabalho, a riqueza concentrada significa também a exclusão-pobreza. O desenvolvimento do capitalismo no Brasil traz a concentração da riqueza e marginalidade social que foram, portanto, elementos originados na estrutura colonial. Foi então, com base nessa forma de inserção, colonial, que a luta de classes no campo no Brasil, se apresenta como parte integrante do movimento mais amplo de constituição do desigual modo de produção capitalista que emerge em meados do século XVIII consolidando-se no século seguinte. O subdesenvolvimento explica-se de forma objetiva pelas condições de dependência econômica, condicionada e regulada a partir de fora, por vetores conjunturais e estruturais no mercado mundial, e reestruturada desde dentro a partir do complexo processo de formação econômica dos países da América Latina. Dessa maneira, os objetivos deste artigo são compreender o desenvolvimento do capitalismo no Brasil sua relação com a concentração fundiária, no intuito de entender o porquê que essa desigual estrutura agrária está concentrada nas mãos de poucos, entendendo o papel do latifúndio moderno: o agronegócio como parte integrante deste processo de acumulação de capital.
