Authors: P Elayaraja , S Kumarganesh , Sagayam K. Martin , J Andrew
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: Cervical malignancy is considered among the most perilous cancers affecting women in numerous East African and South Asian nations, both in terms of its prevalence and fatality rates. OBJECTIVE: This research aims to propose an efficient automated system for the segmentation of cancerous regions in cervical images. METHODS: The proposed techniques encompass preprocessing, feature extraction with an optimized feature set, classification, and segmentation. The original cervical image undergoes smoothing using the Gaussian Filter technique, followed by the extraction of Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) features from the enhanced cervical images. LBP features capture pixel relationships within a mask window, while GLCM features quantify energy metrics across all pixels in the images. These features serve to distinguish normal cervical images from abnormal ones. The extracted features are optimized using Genetic Algorithm (GA) as an optimization method, and the optimized sets of features are classified using the Co-Active Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (CANFIS) classification method. Subsequently, a morphological segmentation technique is employed to categorize irregular cervical images, identifying and segmenting malignant regions within them. RESULTS: The proposed approach achieved a sensitivity of 99.09%, specificity of 99.39%, and accuracy of 99.36%. CONCLUSION: The proposed approach demonstrated superior performance compared to state-of-the-art techniques, and the results have been validated by expert radiologists.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: The South African Labour Relations Act, specifically the Code of Good Practice (CGP) advocates against the discrimination and unfair dismissal of individuals with mental health conditions in the workplace. However, little is known about the implementation of these national policies within the workplace, especially from the perspective of the employer rather than the employee. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of how human resource practitioners accommodate and support individuals with mental health conditions in the workplace. METHOD: Eleven participants (Human Resource Professionals) participated in the study. The researchers utilized semi-structured interviews where the data was analysed by means of thematic analysis to formulate themes. RESULTS: Three themes emerged depicting the participants’ experiences and perceptions of barriers and facilitators which influenced their return to work: The themes that emerged through thematic analysis consisted of 1) Challenges perceived by Human Resource personnel that influences work participation; 2) The influence that workplace accommodations and support structures have on the work participation; 3) The prevalence of policies and laws that are available in theworkplace. CONCLUSION: The study highlighted that Human Resource Professionals struggle to interpret and implement labor related polices that aid in employing individuals with mental health conditions in the workplace. It is important to implement strategies that will assist Human Resource practitioners in understanding how to implement such policies to successfully accommodate individuals with mental health conditions in the workplace.

Published: January 2024

Mindfulness has been increasingly used to improve the mental health of adolescents. This study focused on evaluating the latest research status of mindfulness for adolescents through CiteSpace and on identifying research hotspots and frontiers. We extracted the English literature of mindfulness for adolescents from the Web of Science (WoS) and the Chinese literature from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases, covering the period from 1999 to 2022. A total of 1317 papers were obtained. CiteSpace was used to generate online maps of worldwide cooperation among countries, institutions, and authors. Hotspots and frontiers were systematically summarized. There is a paucity of collaboration among institutions in the Chinese literature compared to the English literature. The research themes of the literatures of the two languages have overlaps and also discrepancies at different times. Future research may focus on the mechanism of mindfulness and appropriate groups for application. Collaboration among authors should be strengthened.

Authors: Grossi Enzo
Published: January 2024

The leisure-rehabilitation programs offered to children and adolescents with autism convey feelings like emotional, social, cognitive, and physical engagement, fun, adventure and sense of novelty. Each activity however has an intrinsic power to influence the emotional pattern in different ways. To define how each type of rehabilitation program can be expected to influence the psychological response di children and adolescent affected by autism; A Delphi study was carried out involving twelve Expert therapists. The aim is to have criteria to personalize the individual rehabilitation plan choosing a mix of activities with more appropriate emotional influence. We applied the Delphi procedure during a workshop with 12 expert therapists (8 females- 4 males), with the aim of assessing the opinion of participants regarding the appropriateness of 11 types of leisure-rehabilitation activities in enhancing 7 types of psychological responses.

The activities with the highest potential for each psychological response were for dramatherapy emotional and cognitive engagement, team sports for social engagement and for fun, indoor climbing for physical engagement and for sense of adventure, for outdoor visits to museums sense of novelty. The top five activities with the highest overall impact (mean overall score > 7) were in decreasing order: indoor climbing, team sports, outdoor visits to common life environments, outdoor visits to parks and gardens, and dramatherapy. We hope that this Delphi exercise will help the carers of individuals with autism to choose and adapt possible leisure activities according to the specific needs of the subject, maximizing the potential benefit of rehabilitation.

Većina pretpostavki o motivaciji za posjet muzejima temelji se na ideji muzeja i/ili izložbi kao prostora za učenje. Evaluacija iskustava publike vezanih uz izložbu Ugroženi identiteti, koja se bavi sa sedam različitih migracijskih procesa koji su se odvijali u posljednjih stotinu godina u Europi, nadilazi učenje i kognitivne aspekte istraživanja publike i, u skladu sa zaokretom prema afektivnom u muzejima, bavi se osjećajima koje je izložba pobudila. Rezultati evaluacije pokazuju potencijal koji izložbe imaju kao pokretači empatije i otpornosti.Kako bi prepoznala interpretativne strategije koje olakšavaju afektivno kustostvo, autorica primjenjuje teoriju izgradnje afektivne niše. Suprotno izgradnji kognitivne niše koja se sastoji u razvoju i korištenju okolišnim resursima za pomoć u pamćenju, rješavanju problema, rasuđivanju i drugim oblicima razmišljanja, izgradnja afektivne niše sastoji se u manipuliranju resursima kako bi se utjecalo na način na koji osjećamo pismo kustostva i predstavljanje osobnih narativa i artefakata povezanih s narativom.
Christmas Nativity Scenes of the Diocese of Subotica in the Light of Traditional Piety of Catholic Believers
Authors: Prćić Aleksandra
Published: January 2024

The paper questions the attitude of believers towards the nativity scene in the church in the light of the piety of believers, presenting four unusual compositions of the nativity scene in the churches of the Diocese of Subotica, through an ethnological approach and from the perspective of cultural anthropology. Based on an analysis of personal stories of people in charge of setting up the nativity scene in churches, we are striving to find out what the nativity scene means to them personally and what role the nativity scene plays in society in general. That is, whether it is only a part of the church inventory and décor at Christmas time or the Christmas nativity scene in Subotica can be consideredas a form of traditional piety of Catholic believers. The paper also uses theological insights in connection with the interpretation of certain aspects of religion, as well as the social practices that were studied.

Published: January 2024

Predstavljajući četiri nesvakidašnje postavke crkvenih božićnih jaslica u Subotičkoj biskupiji, u radu se putem etnološkog i kulturnoantropološkog pristupa propituje odnos vjernika prema crkvenim božićnim jaslicama u svjetlu pobožnosti vjernika. Temeljem analize osobnih priča ljudi zaduženih za postavljanje božićnih jaslica u crkvama, nastoji se saznati što njima osobno znače božićne jaslice i koja je uloga božićnih jaslica u društvu uopće. Odnosno, jesu li one samo dio crkvenog inventara i dekor u vrijeme Božića ili se o božićnim jaslicama u Subotici može govoriti kao obliku tradicijske pobožnosti vjernika katolika. U radu se također koriste teološki uvidi vezani uz tumačenje pojedinih aspekata vjere, ali i društvenih praksi koje su pritom proučavane.

Published: January 2024

Most of the assumptions on the motivation to visit museums are based on the idea of museums and/or exhibitions as learning spaces. The evaluation of audience experiences concerning the Identity on the line exhibitions, dealing with seven different migration processes that took place over the last hundred years in Europe, goes beyond learning and cognitive aspects of audience research and, in line with the affective turn in museums, addresses the feelings evoked by the exhibition. The results of the evaluation show the potential exhibitions have as agents of empathy and resilience.In order to identify the interpretive strategies facilitating affective curatorship, the author applies the affective niche construction theory. Contrary to cognitive niche construction, which consists in developing and using environmental resources to aid remembering, problem solving, reasoning, and other forms of thinking, affective niche construction consists in manipulating resources to influence the way we feel the letter implying curating and presenting personal narratives and narrative-related artefacts.

Published: January 2024

As a part of an in-depth institutional screening and an over a month-long consulting process, during the summer of 2022, at the Museums and Galleries of Konavle (MiGK), a survey was conducted among the visitors of one of the four MiGK units, House Bukovac (Kuća Bukovac) in Cavtat. The survey included an in-person conversation with each visitor, formed around five questions (for domestic and foreign visitors), either close-ended or semi-open, with none of the categories requiring more than two minutes to answer. To gather information on how the same institution has been seen by the locals, an online survey, with a modified set of three multiple-choice questions, was additionally conducted via the MiGK’s mailing list. The tool used for the two models was the online service Typeform with the survey structure and content created exclusively for House Bukovac research. On this occasion, we are revealing the results of both, providing a triple visitor perspective - local, domestic and foreign.

Authors:   Brawijaya University, Abdillah Muqaffi
Published: January 2024

For sharia financial institutions that runs their business based on the philosophy of the Qur’an and Sunnah, social performance is the basis for actors in interacting with the environment and each other. One method of reporting social performance for sharia companies is the Islamic Social Reporting Index method (ISR). However, this method is still considered inappropriate to be applied to sharia financial institutions, which requires sharia financial institutions to develop their own social strategies. This research aims to determine the strategy for achieving social performance in the Dau branch of the Kanindo Syariah cooperative and to dig deeper into the reasons why the ISR method is not suitable for application to Sharia Financial Institutions. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods. The results of the research shows that Kanindo Syariah Dau branch has a strategy consisting of collecting and distributing social funds internally and externally. As for the ISR method, three conclusions were obtained which are the reasons why this method is not appropriate for sharia financial institutions, (1) lack of concern for the environment, (2) lack of understanding regarding maqashid sharia, and (3) lack of suitability for the environmental theme of the institutions which operates in the financial sector.

An Exploratory Study of the Determinants of Global Sourcing Intention in Korean Clothing Sewing Industry: Focusing on Women’s Knitwear Production
Authors:   The Institute of Management and Economy Research, Yoo Dabin , Chung Sunwook
Published: January 2024

Purpose - This study seeks to investigate the determinants of global sourcing intention in clothing sewing industry, in particular with its focus on women’s Knitwear production.
Design/methodology/approach - This study collected a unique set of qualitative data through 31 in-depth interviews with fashion brands, promotion agencies, and sewing factories between July 2023 and October 2023. In addition, it analyzed the dataset using the MAXQDA to complement the research findings.
Findings - We have two findings. First, the interviewees commonly mentioned the following factors as reasons for considering global sourcing: the human factors(aging of skilled technicians and labor shortages), the financial factors(gap in production unit prices at home and abroad), the relational factors(lack of novelty), and the physical factors(loss of production infrastructure and network), while the human factors(skilled workforce), the production factors(delivery date and product quality), and the relational factors(timely communication and mutual trust) as reasons for continuing domestic sourcing. Additional code analysis of interview also supports this finding. On the other hand, there was also a subtle difference between buyers(brands) and suppliers(promotion agencies and processing plants), and buyers consider the exact delivery date critical so that they could see trend-sensitive women’s Knitwear on time, and suppliers took production costs, labor costs, and labor shortages, which are financial factors, more seriously.
Research implications or Originality - This study provides a richer and more balanced view of existing literature, which has generally tended to introduce global sourcing across the clothing industry despite the existence of various diversity within the industry. In addition, through qualitative research, we introduce that the sewing industry is carried out according to complex factors, and by revealing and categorizing the determinants of global sourcing, we supplement the existing research on the clothing sewing industry centered on survey. On a practical note, this study introduces that there is a difference in view of domestic sourcing and global sourcing between buyers(brands) and suppliers(promotion agencies and sewing factories), suggesting practical implications for revitalizing networks and deriving win-win cooperation network models among members in the future.
CLUSTERIZATION AND POLARIZATION OF SMALL BUSINESS AS THE KEY TO INCREASE ITS COMPETITIVENESS IN THE ECONOMIC SPACE OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES
Authors:   Poltava State Agrarian University, Medvid Viktoriia , Pasichnyi Oleksandr ,   Poltava State Agrarian University
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the theoretical and methodological foundations of clustering and polarization of business entities in the economic space of communities. The article notes that the design of growth poles, and especially growth centers on the scale of the regional (territorial) economy, not only exists, but has also been proven in world practice in countries with different levels of socio-economic development. At the same time, the main result of the implementation of the cluster policy should be to increase the competitiveness of the enterprises participating in the cluster and the economy of the country as a whole. The article examines the meaning of the definitions "competitiveness", "polarized territorial structure", "cluster", etc. In particular, special attention is paid to ensuring the competitiveness of economic entities in the formation of mutual relations with the external environment. Clusters are considered as one of the effective forms of organizing the interaction of geographically interdependent enterprises-suppliers of equipment, specialized production services, infrastructure, logistics centers, research centers, institutions of higher education and other organizations in order to increase the competitiveness of economic entities and territories. The main systemic effects of cluster development, which have a significant impact on the economy of the territorial community, the region and the country, are highlighted separately. The article substantiates that at the center of the development of any polarized territorial structure, in particular, a cluster, there is always a certain industry that is a priority for this locality (territory). In turn, the determination of priority types of economic activity for a separate territory inevitably leads to the activation of the process of concentration of production around the selected industry, that is, polarized development of the territory. The article notes that the following problems may theoretically arise during the formation of new growth poles: the power of the innovative impulse may be directed not to those regions (territories) that need support, but to highly developed ones, to which the propulsive industries of the growth poles naturally gravitate; shortage of financial, labor and other resources may be acute.

Authors:   Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology, Prishchenko Andrii
Published: January 2024

The study is devoted to the analysis of management strategies of network production and trading enterprises, with an emphasis on their role in the global economy, optimization of supply chains, adaptation to international market conditions. The purpose of the study is to investigate foreign experience in managing the development of network production and trading enterprises. The study used the methods of critical literature analysis, which included a study of scientific publications, journal articles and reports of international organizations to assess the existing theories and practices of managing production and trade networks. The method of case studies of leading international companies that demonstrate different approaches to the management of production and trade networks was also used. As a result of the study, it is found that network production and trading enterprises that integrate production with the distribution and sale of goods play a significant role in the development of national economies. It is found that the key management strategies of these enterprises include cost reduction by locating production in regions with lower wages, adaptation to protectionist policies, integration of new technologies, increasing the sustainability of supply chains, environmental responsibility and individualization of approaches to consumers. It has been found that successful management of these companies requires a deep understanding of the interdependencies between different stages of the value chain and the need to balance strategic and tactical aspects of activity. Prospects for further research in this area include analyzing and studying foreign experience in managing the development of these enterprises, with an emphasis on the ability of companies to be innovative and flexible in response to rapidly changing global trends. The practical significance of the study lies in obtaining tools for developing effective management strategies for networked production and trading enterprises adapted to changing global conditions. It also contributes to the optimization of management processes from production to sales, providing companies with a competitive advantage in the market.

La responsabilidad social es una tendencia que las empresas han adoptado en el entorno en el que desarrollan sus actividades, debido a que se ha ido convirtiendo en una exigencia de las partes interesadas, es así como a través de los Reportes de Sustentabilidad (RS), las organizaciones han podido comunicar la información cuantitativa y cualitativa del impacto de sus actividades al medio ambiente. Aunque resulta una buena práctica, el contenido de los RS no es homogéneo por no contar con una estructura establecida, por lo que el primer objetivo de la investigación es analizar los ejes temáticos ambientales de la Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) en los reportes presentados y evaluar el tipo de información revelada de las empresas Grupo Bimbo, FEMSA y Grupo Herdez. Y como segundo objetivo, contrastar las políticas tributarias ambientales mexicanas con las políticas tributarias ambientales de España, por ser uno de los países de la Unión Europea que cuenta con tributos ambientales con una recaudación de 19,750 millones de euros en el año 2020 que representó un 7.7% del total de impuestos que pagan los españoles (González, 2022) para emitir recomendaciones de implementación en México

El aumento en la recaudación ha sido una preocupación constante de los gobiernos en México. Las entidades federativas siguen siendo dependientes financieros de la federación por lo que necesitan reforzar sus haciendas públicas a través de sus ordenamientos jurídicos tributarios, un instrumento jurídico considerado de mayor importancia es el Código Fiscal en los estados o sus equivalentes, lo anterior debido a que es utilizado por las áreas operativas de la hacienda pública en el ejercicio de sus funciones. Es necesario que los gobiernos locales refuercen y verifiquen sus legislaciones tributarias estatales con el objeto de modernizar su marco jurídico. El Código fiscal o su equivalente en las entidades federativas debe ser moderno y equilibrado, cuyo propósito sea facilitar el cumplimiento de las obligaciones fiscales y modernizarse además con la tecnología, y que respete el límite que debe guardar la autoridad con los derechos del contribuyente

Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to transform many aspects of society, and the study of evolutionary morphology is no exception. Machine learning-grade methods of AI such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cluster Analysis have been commonplace in evolutionary morphology for decades, but the last decade has seen increasing application of Deep Learning to ecology and evolutionary biology, opening up the potential to circumvent longstanding barriers to rapid, big data analysis of phenotype. Here we review the current state of AI methods available for the study of evolutionary morphology and discuss the prospectus for near-term advances in specific subfields of this research area, including the potential of new AI methods that have not yet been applied to the study of morphological evolution. We introduce the main available AI techniques, categorising them into three stages based on their order of appearance: (i) Machine Learning, (ii) Deep Learning with neural networks and (iii) the most recent advancements in large-scale models and multimodal learning. Next, we present existing AI approaches and case studies using AI for evolutionary morphology, including image capture and segmentation, feature recognition, morphometrics, phylogenetics, and biomechanics. Finally, we discuss areas where there is potential, but no current application of AI to key areas in evolutionary morphology. Combined, these advancements and potential developments have the capacity to transform the evolutionary analysis of organismal phenotype into evolutionary phenomics, launch it fully in the “Big Data'' sphere, and align it with genomics and other areas of bioinformatics.

Published: January 2024

Malaria is a preventable and curable disease and malaria diagnosis is critical to reduce malaria burden. This study is aimed at investigating the persistent positivity of Histidine-Rich Protein II (HRP2) rapid diagnostic test in pregnant women after antimalarial treatment. The study was carried out in Turai Yar’adua Maternity and Children’s Hospital Katsina and Federal Medical Centre Katsina. Blood samples were collected with the help of trained physicians. The result from this study shows that HRP2 persist more in the blood of pregnant women after treatment with fensider. It was observed that in all the age groups, day 3, day 7 and day 14 post drug treatment, were still positive for malaria using HRP2 malaria rapid diagnostic tool. The HRP2 was positive for all the different age group after 21 and 28 days post treatment except the age group 30-34 (97.5%). The percentage in the positivity result of pregnant women testing positive after treatment with malaria drug changed at 35 and 42 days post treatment in almost all the age groups. There was no statistical significant difference between the different age groups (p<0.05) in HRP2. The persistent positivity decreases in all the trimester at 35 and 42 days post treatment in HRP2. There was no statistical significant difference between the age of pregnancy p>0.05. The highest negative result was observed in the second trimester in 42 days post treatment. This therefore provides a useful data for improved malaria diagnosis, treatment and guide for pregnant women who are susceptible to malaria parasite.

Published: January 2024

Pengurusan zakat di Institusi Pengajian Tinggi (IPT) telah memberi peluang bukan sahaja pegawai institusi zakat dan masjid bahkan kakitangan IPT. Perkara ini telah menimbulkan persoalan mengenai tahap kualiti amil yang baru dilantik tanpa mempunyai latar belakang dan pengalaman dalam bidang pengurusan zakat secara khusus. Tambahan pula isu amil pecah amanah merupakan isu terbesar yang mampu menggugat kepercayaan awam terhadap institusi zakat di negara ini. Menurut Utusan (2019), seorang amil telah didakwa di mahkamah kerana memasukkan wang zakat berjumlah RM 2 592 ke dalam akaun peribadi. Kes yang sama berlaku di Selangor, apabila seorang amil didakwa pecah amanah wang zakat bernilai RM 4 750. Pendedahan kes-kes ini menggambarkan bahawa isu integriti dan penyalahgunaan kuasa amil berada pada tahap yang serius. Justeru, artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti cabaran-cabaran yang dihadapi oleh amil zakat dalam menguruskan zakat di Institut Pengajian Tinggi (IPT). Kajian lanjutan boleh dilaksanakan iaitu mencadangkan bahawa satu kerangka kompetensi amil zakat IPT yang diyakini mampu menambah baik pengurusan kepada pihak Institusi Zakat Negeri dan amil di peringkat IPT dalam merealisasikan tadbir urus yang cekap dan berinovatif.

Authors: Faid Zulkifli  , Muhammad Yusry Affandy Md Isa
Published: January 2024

Sa'id Nursi is renowned globally for his contributions to the Muslim community, particularly in Turkiye, where he is esteemed by many. This qualitative study seeks to examine Sa'id Nursi's role in disseminating the message of da’wah and fostering Islamic awareness among the inmates at Denizli Prison, Turkiye. This holds significance as addressing criminal behavior and preventing recidivism should encompass more than punitive measures alone. The focus should also extend to rehabilitation, especially within an Islamic context, as an effective rehabilitation program can deter individuals from relapsing into criminal activities. Employing an inductive approach, this article delves into Sa'id Nursi's biography and his contributions, using a descriptive method to analyse and elaborate on the prominent aspects of his approach. Primary sources, notably Rasa'il al-Nur (Epistles of Light) penned during his incarceration, including the Fruits Epistle and the Rasa'il al-Nur website, along with secondary sources such as journals from library archives, form the basis of this study. It is instrumental in spotlighting his post-incarceration contributions through an Islamic lens within the prison context. Research affirms Nursi's commitment to imparting an Islamic message that resonates within Muslim life at Denizli Prison, Turkiye. The findings underscore Nursi's contributions through an Islamic approach that emphasizes recognition of Allah SWT and the strengthening of faith in the hereafter. He achieves this by drawing on Quranic verses and Hadiths, employing the approach of bi-l-hikmah (wisdom), and engaging inmates' conscience through reflective practices such as tafakkur (contemplation). Nursi frequently utilizes majaz (metaphor) or dharb al-amthal (analogy) and al-muqaranah (comparison) to elucidate truths or facts in his teachings.
