Published: May 2024

Disaster logistics management is an effort to arrange logistics raw materials in the implementation of disaster management, which consists of planning, procurement, storage, distribution, transportation, and receiving. Cianjur Hospital is one of the health facilities affected by the Cianjur earthquake; due to the earthquake, almost all parts of the hospital were damaged, so some health services were carried out in emergency tents. The purpose of this study was to obtain an analysis of the disaster logistics management system at RSUD Cianjur. The design used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. The informants in this study were 5 employees of Cianjur Hospital. Data collection is carried out through in-depth interviews, document studies, and observations. Analysis data processing uses data reduction analysis, data presentation, and conclusions. The results showed that the disaster logistics management system at Cianjur Hospital had appropriate planning, but there was little difficulty meeting needs. At the time of procurement and/or receipt, there is a discrepancy in needs and an unclear identity of the sender. There are two logistics warehouses, namely inside the building and in the emergency tent, but the warehouse security in the emergency tent is less safe and the place is inadequate. In distribution, there is speed, accuracy, and the amount of distribution that is sometimes not right. It is recommended that hospitals optimize the performance of each human resource as well as write SOPs regarding disaster logistics management systems.

Coral reefs, which serve as essential ecosystems that support marine biodiversity and coastal populations, are declining at an alarming rate worldwide, including in the Philippines. This study explores the specific effects of overfishing, the causes, and effects of pollution on Philippine waters to understand better rising sea levels, ocean acidification, the overall impact of climate change on coral reefs, and the value of these coral habitats to local communities. Data were acquired using a qualitative approach through literature reviews of secondary sources. The findings show that overfishing, pollution, climate change, and habitat destruction are major causes of coral reef decline in the Philippines. These factors have resulted in severe reductions in coral cover, biodiversity loss, and decreased ecosystem services. Furthermore, coral reef decline has far-reaching consequences for Philippine biodiversity, including decreased resistance to environmental stressors and greater vulnerability of coastal people. This study highlights the urgency for coordinated conservation initiatives, such as enhanced management tactics, sustainable fishing practices, and climate change mitigation measures. Recommendations include creating marine protected areas, stronger coastal development rules, and public awareness programs to support coral reef protection. Addressing coral reef loss is crucial for protecting Philippine biodiversity and ensuring the long-term viability of marine ecosystems.

Authors:   Technical institute Kirkuk, MAHAMED Najeba Rashed
Published: May 2024

Compared to pupils whose sole language is English, ELLs (students whose first language is not English) have a more difficult time reading grade-level information. Because of their poor performance on these tests, students with this profile are at increased risk of being diagnosed with a learning impairment. In order to assist educators create more effective strategies for teaching English language learners (ELLs), this article gives a synopsis of a research that investigated strategies to aid ELLs in word acquisition and presents the results. Several strategies have shown to be quite effective for ESL students, according to the study. Making ensuring that ELLs understand basic terminology, providing them with enough practice and reinforcement, and using cognates from their native language are all tactics that may be used to teach English as a second language. The challenges of creating effective vocabulary courses for ESL students are finally addressed. The short time that is usually available for direct vocabulary training, the huge vocabulary gaps that ELLs have in their second language, and the decision of which terms to teach are all substantial obstacles.

Measuring Financial Stability in Curaçao and Sint Maarten
Authors: Ooft Gavin , Baank Monique-Thijn
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Assessing the solidity of the financial system may be cumbersome since there is no single comprehensive indicator to measure financial stability. This paper presents two aggregate measures that can be deployed as early warning measures of financial stability for the monetary union of Curaçao and Sint Maarten, mainly focusing on the banking sector. As this sector comprises most of the monetary union's assets, the constructed measures are mainly focused on this sector. Following financial stability literature, we apply empirical normalization and aggregation to construct an Aggregate Financial Stability Index (AFSI) and a Banking Stability Index (BSI). These indices have been gaining popularity among central banks to assess financial stability on top of conventional measures such as Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs) and credit cycles. The AFSI comprises banking-sector indicators, macro-financial developments, and international trends, while the BSI captures dimensions of banks' financial soundness. We benchmark the AFSI and the BSI to the period of deteriorating macro-financial conditions induced by the coronavirus crisis, and the development in the indices was as expected. Based on the robustness analyses conducted, we deem the constructed indices plausible for measuring and tracking financial stability within the monetary union of Curaçao and Sint Maarten.

Published: May 2024

Enhancing uptime and achieving greater operational efficiency in industrial assets and systems is pivotal. The focus of this paper is on a data-led strategy that integrates a scalable data framework, sophisticated analytics, and multimodal deep learning to foster predictive maintenance. This approach significantly reduces expensive downtime in oil and gas drilling activities. A proposed solution involves a cloud-based data lake architecture capable of capturing and storing both structured and unstructured time-series sensor data from drilling equipment like pumps, blowout preventers, and top drives. Massive data pipelines handle billions of sensor readings, and multivariate analysis offers insights into maintenance needs. The introduction of the Deep Maintenance Neural Network (DMNN) maximizes the use of sensor data, past failures, meteorological information, and expert knowledge to foresee a range of system failures in drilling operations. This study underscores the combined power of leveraging industrial-scale data storage solutions, cutting-edge analytics, and deep learning to pave the way for advanced maintenance strategies. Implementing the discussed approach converts raw sensor data into significant improvements in rig durability and operational downtime. It demonstrates that adopting a data-smart maintenance strategy can substantially elevate productivity at the system level.

Enhancing Identity and Access Management Systems with Behavioral Analytics: A Novel Approach to Detecting Anomalous Activities
Authors:   USA, Ramakrishnan Shanmugavelan
Published: May 2024

The detection of malicious user conduct that does not result in an alert for an access violation or a data breach may prove to be a difficult task by itself. With the stolen login credentials, the intruder who is conducting espionage will initially make an effort to acquire data from the company network that he is authorised to access in a stealthy manner while attempting to avoid being discovered. This article presents a description of the User Behaviour Analytics Platform, which was designed to collect logs, extract features, and detect atypical users who may include possible insider threats. The platform was developed at the beginning of this article. A multi-algorithm ensemble that incorporates OCSVM, RNN, and Isolation Forest is also described. This is in addition to the previous point. Under the conditions of the experiment, it was proved that the system, which is made up of a collection of unsupervised anomaly detection algorithms, is able to recognise unusual patterns of user behaviour. The suggested study makes an effort to identify behaviours that are considered to be insider threats and to keep an eye out for any behaviour that is deemed to be unexpected or suspicious by the model. This behaviour is considered to be anomalies because it results in a high level of reconstruction error inside the model. During the training phase of the model, feature vectors that have been derived from user log activities are implemented within a predetermined time frame of each day. This strategy makes use of an autoencoder that is based on Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) in order to model user behaviour on a daily basis and identify abnormal insider threat spots. Errors generated by normal data are negligible since the model has been overfitted with normal data. However, when it comes to the malevolent category of aberrant data, the autoencoder produces a massive mistake. Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) r4.2 is the name of the dataset used in this study. The feature vectors used are computed from the daily occurrences of a specific action by the users. GRU autoencoder is utilised for the purpose of behaviour learning

Authors:   Independent Scholar, India, Shukl Vaissnavi , P. Desai Sukumar ,   Brigham and Women’s Hospital, USA
Published: May 2024

Albeit never trained in architectural design, Charles Bulfinch (1763-1844) is widely recollected as the first native-born American to practice architecture professionally. Inspired by continental influences, Bulfinch developed the neoclassicist style reflected in major private and public structures in Boston and Washington D.C. Although we have numerous studies of Bulfinch’s fascinating and pioneering architectural career, less is known about his intimate relationship to the medical field. Bulfinch was the chief designer of Massachusetts General Hospital, America’s third-oldest general hospital and Harvard Medical School’s first teaching hospital. Drawing on a wide range of underexplored primary and secondary sources, this article offers a historical recounting of Bulfinch’s life and architectural trajectory up to the conception and design of Massachusetts General Hospital. Then, it draws attention to the structure and organization of the Hospital, its position within the historical context of the time, and its lasting impact on the history of American medicine. In so doing, this article provides a fresh perspective into Boston’s healthcare architecture, the history of its preeminent hospital, and the legendary personality that made it what it is today

Authors: Lingamurthy Diksha Molugu , CH Sri Laxmi , Arasi Tamil
Published: May 2024

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare cartilaginous neoplasm that most commonly affects the knee joint. Histologically, it presents as a multinodular cartilaginous proliferation showing clusters of chondrocytes. These can be quite atypical, simulating chondrosarcoma. The lesion is usually self-limited but sometimes may exhibit a more aggressive clinical course characterized by multiple local recurrences. Chondrosarcomatous transformation in synovial chondromatosis is exceedingly rare but has been documented.

Until recently, synovial chondromatosis was considered a reactive process. Recent cytogenetic studies have shown recurrent chromosomal abnormalities, especially involving chromosome6, therefore supporting a clonal, neoplastic nature of this intriguing lesion.

Arabic poetry, ancient and modern, remains a feature distinguished by the Arabs, and a distinguishing mark for which they were known, as it flows on the tongues of their poets the flow of water in the river, and flows from their mouths the flow of fresh water from the spring, as it is twittering on their tongues, and hymns that delight the speaker, the listener, the narrator, the reader, and the student Alike, he is the flame that ignited in their world hundreds of years ago, and is still glowing in every country of theirs, and in every age. The Arabic poetry that we are talking about is nothing but words organized into sentences, and not sentences organized into verses only. The contemplator of ancient Arabic poetry stands on wonderful poetic images that the poets installed in whatever form they were, and formulated them in whatever form, so that some of them, or even most of them, were unique in producing these poetic images without others, so this wonderful poetic image became specific to his wonderful poetic experience. I chose to write on this topic because of its importance in the world of poetry and the production of the poem, as a poem devoid of a poetic image is not considered a complete poem. In this research, I will present, study, and analyze some of the wonderful poetic images of some ancient poets, hoping to write another research in which I will deal with examples of the poetic image in modern Arabic poetry. The objective of the research is evident in its importance, and in the research I will approach the methods of description, induction, and analysis.
Role of Interleukin-35 In The Pathogenesis of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Disease

The immune system has the ability to distinguish between self and non-self. Also, Regulatory T-cells are a portion of Tcells that are in charge of preserving regulation of the immune system and immune tolerance through active immunerepression. Immune tolerance is very important to prevent the immune system from interacting against itself and thus to avoid the development of autoimmune diseasesInterleukin-35 (IL-35), which is a member of the interleukin-12 (IL12) cytokine family, is an anti-inflammatory immune response that plays the important function in the obstruction of the development of autoimmune diseases in different tests autoimmunities. When loss of self-tolerance occurs becuses many genetic and environmental factors, this causes the absence of balanced anti-inflammatory immune responses, which reduces the in vivo suppressive capacity of Treg, which is taken to be a regular T-cell-linked autoimmune disease., especially Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). Methods: The current study included 90 samples. 60 hypothyroid HT patients (Group 1) and 30 healthy controls (Group 2) were enrolled in the study. Blood samples were collected and separated into serum from the two groups to be used to measure the functions of the thyroid gland by measuring the levels of thyroid hormone and thyroid stimulating hormone, measuring the level of anti-thyroid auto-antibodies, and determining the standard of serum Interloukin-35 through ELISA. Results: The results of the current study Through statistical analysis using the program SPSS version 22, it was shown that serum IL-35 levels were inversely Correlation used Pearson test with TSH, TPO-Ab, and TG-Ab in patients HT (-.292 (P≥0.01), -.245 (P≥0.02), -.269 (P≥0.01). While serum IL-35 levels were directly correlated with TSH, TPO-Ab, and TGAb in healthy controls (.151 (P≥0.01),.192 (P≥0.01),.097 (P≥0.01). The results of the current study showed a highly significant difference in TSH and FT4, respectively (P≥0.01), between the control and hypothyroid groups. Hypothyroidism is more common in females than males, and the incidence of hypothyroidism steadily increases with advancing age. Thyroid hormone concentrations show a significant change in patients with hormonal hypothyroidism compared with the control group. Conclusion: Our findings indicate an effective role for interleukin 35 in the reverse association with auto-antibodies and the development of autoimmune diseases, especially Hashmoto's disease

Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial virulent microorganism that can cause acute and chronic infections in burn patients. The aim of the study: Diagnosis of genes mediated β-lactams resistance among test isolates. Materials and Methods: 649 swabs collected from inpatients with burn-wound infections at a burn center in Al-Najaf Province/ Iraq, from August 2022 to February 2023. Results: 68/ 649 (10.5%) isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii were identified according to microscopically, cultural, and biochemical features. 22 (32.4%) isolates were found able to produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases by using the double disks synergy method, and these producers tested by polymerase chain reactions technique for molecular determination β-lactams resistance encoding genes. This technique determined that the frequency of a single blaTEM gene and a single blaCTXM gene was 3/ 22 (13.6%) for each one among the test isolates and that 9/ 22 (41%) isolates possessed linked genes: the blaCTXM and blaTEM genes, whereas the blaSHV gene was not identified in any test isolate. Conclusions: The co-associated (blaTEM and blaCTXM) genes were revealed to be prevalent among the test isolates

The research aims to verify the extent to which the requirements for disclosure of financial information related to sustainability are applied according to the IFRS-S1 standard, and its impact on the company’s performance, on a sample of Islamic banks listed in the Iraq Stock Exchange, which number (5) banks as a prospective study. By analyzing the content of the annual financial reports of the banks, the research sample for the year 2022. By using the disclosure matrix of the aforementioned standard, which consists of four dimensions (governance, strategy, risk management, Metrics and Target) to measure the quality of disclosure of the research sample. And the adoption of a mathematical model developed by the researcher to measure the performance of banks is based on previous literature on the subject. The SPSS statistical program was adopted to analyze the data and access the results. Which was represented by the existence of a weakness in the level of disclosure of sustainability according to the IFRS-S1 standard in the Iraqi Islamic banks, the research sample, which negatively affected the reliability of the information included in the annual reports and the company’s performance. And the disclosure of sustainability information about a company may negatively affect its performance in the short term and positively in the long terms
