How will AI change intelligence and decision-making?
Authors: Barnea Avner
Published: May 2020

The world is facing a rapid pace of changes with a heightened sense of uncertainty, ambiguity, and complexity in both government and business landscapes.  New threats and major changes in the world order are creating an external environment that demands closer monitoring and greater anticipatory and predictive skills.  Deeper analysis and speed of action are becoming more important for agile organizations and governments. The needs to upgrade the capabilities of intelligence analysts, mostly in strategic intelligence, have been known for quite a long time. Scholars who are looking into intelligence failures1 and other major national security2 and business3 events when decision-makers were not warned in time, seek expert tools and methodologies to avoid these failures4. Management is constantly concerned, aspiring to receive better decisions by relying on solid analysis in order to better understand the challenges ahead5. The current direction is in the same direction, while new emerging technologies enable theory and practice to move forward. Artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities definitely are jumping two stairs up. It looks that through new AI tools, the value of humans will not become redundant but rather improve its outcomes by relying on better intelligence for their decisions.

Published: May 2020

Consumption is expenses towards household goods and services such as clothing, food, entertainment, health services. Malaysian consumption trend consumers have been changing since 2005 as reported by consumer price index (CPI), per capita income and inflation rate due to inflation rate hikes at the end of 2016 and early 2017. This study examines the factors contributing to the consumption model of Malaysian consumers in rural and urban areas. Eight antecedents of Malaysian consumption pattern, consumer lifestyle, consumer value, consumer motive, consumer preference, and marketing mix of price, product, place, and advertising were measured using 7-point Likert scales. 1400 were questionnaires distributed to households, 851 were returned representing 61 percent response rate. The findings indicate support for validity of measurement models of all variables utilized for both model rural and urban. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) of SMARTPLS 2.0 technique found that advertising is not a predictor for consumer motive for rural and urban. Apart from that, price hikes have been discussed. On the other hand, the rural model postulates better R2 than the other model. The finding implies that Malaysian government needs to conduct a continuous campaign to consumers regarding GST implementation and its consequences to them. Finally, the instability of the economy changed the consumption pattern throughout their lifestyle, value, motive and preferences.

Remembering Ramanujan
Authors: Sivaraman R.
Published: May 2020

Mathematicians like Guido Grandi, Ernesto Cesaro and others found novel way of assigning finite sum to divergent series. This created a new scope of understanding leading to analytic continuation of real valued functions. One among such methods was called ``Ramanujan Summation'' proposed by Indian Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. In this paper, I try to highlight how Ramanujan could have possibly arrived at those values by looking through his notebook jottings and extending further to provide Geometrical meaning behind those values obtained by him. Finally, I provide a novel way to arrive at the general formula obtained by Ramanujan regarding his summation of zeta function.

Spinning wool into silver
Authors: Burner Lisa
Published: May 2020

The novel Aves sin nido (1889) by Clorinda Matto de Turner has been principally read as a dramatization of the clash between modern civilization and backwards traditionalism. This article reconsiders this interpretation by situating the novel in the context of the economic boom in wool exports in the southern highlands of Peru. Reading Aves sin nido as a “romance of capital investment,” the article proposes that the central conflict animating the novel is the encounter between a liberal utopian vision of capital investment—exemplified by silver mining—and the violent on-theground realities of the wool export economy at the periphery of nineteenth-century global capitalism.

In this research, both the primary and secondary data are used to complete this research. The data are gathered through the questionnaire and interview. For the Primary sources of data twenty-five teachers were selected from the community schools by using purposive sampling procedure. From this study, it is justified that the use of English as a medium of instruction in community schools is beneficial. The use of English helps the progress of the students rather it hampers in their learning activities. The social assumption of Nepalese people that English as medium of instruction as in the private boarding school could make the student excellent has been proved correct.

Airport epidemiological surveillance is the monitoring of the arrival and departure of aircraft and passengers with the potential to cause disease and the risk of epidemics and outbreaks. The purpose of this study was to determine the operational performance analysis and epidemiological reporting in the Class III Airport area of Banda Aceh. This study uses an evaluative descriptive approach and case studies with surveys and direct observations in the field. Data collection techniques are done using secondary data and documentation studies. The results of the study there are significant differences between domestic and foreign flights and unknown flights with a significance value of 0,000 or less than 0.05. there is no significant difference between the incoming crew and the departing crew with a significance value of 0.752 or greater than 0.05 where t arithmetic is still lower than the threshold value of 1.96. There is a significant difference between the number of passengers arriving and the number of passengers leaving. This is seen from the significance value of 0.001 or smaller than the threshold value of 0.05, where t value (3,419) is greater than the threshold value of 1.96. So that it can be proven that the number of passengers arriving and departing is different There is no significant health difference between passengers arriving and passengers leaving from the SIM airport with a sig value of 0.259 or greater than 0.05 where t value is below 1.96. The health conditions of passengers arriving and departing throughout 2019 are the same.
Predatory Journals: A Literature Review
Authors: Sarfraz Zouina , Azza Sarfraz  , Ammar Anwer  , Zainab Nadeem  , Shehar Bano  , Saffa Tareen
Published: May 2020

Background: Predatory publishing is an exploitative fraudulent open-access publishing model. Most predatory journals do not follow policies that are set forth by organizations including the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Council of Science Editors (CSE), and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). Jeffrey Beall, an associate professor at the University of Colorado Denver and a librarian at Auraria Library, coined the term ‘predatory journals’ to describe pseudo-journals. Our literature review has highlighted that predatory journal authorship is not limited to early-career researchers only. Majority of authors are unfamiliar with practices in pseudo journals despite publishing manuscripts.
Methodology: For the purpose of this review, a systematic literature search was carried in October 2019 of the following databases: (1) Web of Science (all databases), (2) ERIC, and (3) LISTA. All stages of the review process included access to the search results and full articles for review and consequent analysis. Articles were added after screening fulltext articles by meeting the inclusion criteria and meeting none of the exclusion criteria. As there were a high number of articles reporting findings on predatory journals, they were further screened re-evaluating them for any deviations from the theme of this study. Relevant material published within the last five years was used.
Results: After a thorough review, 63,133 were located using the Boolean logic. After reviewing 63 abstracts and titles for relevance, 9 articles were included in the literature review. Four themes are concerned with the results of the synthesis that demarcate legitimate and predatory publications. They include factors: (1) Related to the journal, (2) Academic and professional, (3) Dissemination, and (4) Personal.
Conclusion: Our literature review found that there is a lack of one single definition for predatory journals. We believe that it is essential for potential authors and young researchers to have clear guidelines and make demarcations of potential journals that seem dubious. Moreover, the authors’ selection of publishers should be modified to control the risks of tainting ‘open-access’ publishing with fraudulent journals. The academic and research community ought to revise their criteria and recognize high quality and author journals as opposed to ‘predatory’ journals. Research mentorship, realigning research incentives, and education is vital to decrease the impact of predatory publishing in the near future.

Bezoar as a cause of gastric perforation in young female patient: A case report.
Authors: Gul Palwasha , Islah ud Din  , Nosheen Kanwal
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Bezoars are rare accumulations of indigestible contents within the gastrointestinal tract. These are commonly found in patients with previous psychiatric illness, learning disabilities and gastric surgery. Computed tomography (CT) is non invasive imaging modality of choice as it can not only diagnose but recognize associated complications as well.
Case discussion: We present a case of young 16 years old female who presented with nausea,  dull abdominal pain and  distension. She underwent Contrast enhanced CT scan and was diagnosed as a case of gastric bezoar with gastric perforation and frank pneumoperitoneum.  Patient underwent exploratory laparotomy and repair of stomach. Per operative findings were consistent with trichobezoar. Patient recovered well after surgery.
Discussion: Bezoar is accumulation of partially digested foreign material in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Bezoar can occur in any part of GIT, however, are most common in stomach. Muliple risk factors are recognized however can occur without risk factor. Bezoars are classified into several main types. Proper clinical history, examination and imaging can play important role in its diagnosis.
Conclusion: Non specific abdominal pain in young female patients with psychiatric disorder can result from uncommon causes such as bezoars and is important for clinician and radiologist to be aware of this uncommon entity.

Authors: Niyaf Ali , Kiran Niraula  , Aishath Sofia Shareef  , Mohamed Sajuan Mushrif
Published: May 2020

Objectives: To compare the efficacy between endoscopic and open carpal tunnel release procedures for carpal tunnel syndrome patients.
Design and setting: Randomised control study in a single neurosurgery department
 
Participants: 30 patients aged 35-69 years with clinically diagnosed carpal tunnel syndrome
 
Main outcome measures: Primarily - operative duration, bleeding, pain score on day one, requirement of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), time spent in hospital and days taken to return to work. Other outcomes include infection, wound status/cosmesis, injury to median nerve, chronic regional pain syndrome and patient satisfaction.
 
Results: 15 patients were allocated to open surgery, and the other 15 for endoscopic. The average operative duration for open surgery was 9.9 minutes compared to 52 minutes spent for the endoscopic procedure. Cauterization had to be performed 4:1 times in endoscopic compared to open. Pain scores rated 3x higher after open surgery and resulted in increased NSAIDs use. Time spent in hospital after open surgery was 0.7 hours compared to 2.2 in endoscopic, however patients were able to return to work an average of 10.6 days earlier after endoscopic surgery.
 
Conclusions: In carpal tunnel syndrome, endoscopic surgery allowed patients to experience less post-operative pain and return to work several days sooner than in open surgery.
HIV outbreak in Pakistan - a wakeup call?
Authors: Ochani Rohan Kumar , Asim Shaikh  , Ameema Asad  , Simran Batra
Published: May 2020

Human immune-deficiency virus (HIV) is a global threat with an estimated 38.6 million people being previously infected while 25 million of them have succumbed to the disease. In Pakistan, since 2004, there has been a 50-fold increase from 2700 to 130,000 in the number of people infected with HIV, while Sub- Saharan Africa alone bears the heaviest burden of HIV having 25 million infected individuals. Considering these devastating numbers, it was alarming to find that in June 2019, 751 new cases of HIV were diagnosed in Larkana, in the province of Sindh, Pakistan. Therefore, to make sure that the efforts of international institutions like The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) which are trying to effectively reduce the spread of HIV are such regions is streamlined it is extremely important to highlight some of the underlying causes which are endemic to such regions such as re-using of blades by barbers and the practice of re-using needles by un-licensed medical practitioners offering miraculous cures. It is also equally important to suggest and re-iterate possible ways in which this situation, which is rapidly worsening, can be improved.

Intercâmbio Científico: as relações Brasil - Alemanha através das lentes do colposcópio em meados do século XX
Authors: Lana Vanessa
Published: May 2020

O objetivo deste texto é discutir a aproximação das ciências brasileira e alemã, através da introdução e difusão da colposcopia no Brasil. O colposcópio, desenvolvido pelo médico alemão Hans Hinselmann, nos anos 1920, facilitava o diagnóstico das patologias ginecológicas, tornando-se referência para detecção do câncer do colo do útero na primeira metade do século XX. No Brasil, houve uma particularidade na organização de ações para diagnóstico do câncer do colo do útero, que refletiu na elaboração de um modelo próprio de atendimento. Esta particularidade pode ser explicada por uma aproximação entre as ciências alemã e brasileira nos anos 1930 e pelas próprias diretrizes da saúde nacional no período. A partir desses pontos, será analisado o processo de criação e divulgação da técnica, o uso do colposcópio no país e os diálogos entre os médicos brasileiros e Hans Hinselmann, na afirmação da ferramenta para o controle da doença no território brasileiro em meados do século XX.
O instante da agonia e as reinvenções atlânticas das práticas fúnebres na diáspora: Vilas de Campanha, Baependi e São João del-Rei (1780-1830)
Authors: Delfino Leonara Lacerda , de Carvalho Márcio Eurélio Rios
Published: May 2020

Este artigo se propõe a entender os significados construídos pelos confrades do Rosário em contexto de exílio, junto a seus descendentes, em torno dos signos, cultos, celebrações e práticas vinculados à releitura das práticas do bem morrer católico no Novo Mundo. Em vista disso, nos preocupamos em averiguar como as experiências e acepções de morte foram recriadas na outra margem do Atlântico a partir da apropriação da liturgia católica em interação com as heranças africanas de ancestralidade. Para tanto, foram utilizados testamentos post-mortem de libertos, a documentação confrarial das irmandades do Rosário, os relatos de missionários católicos em África e as imagens de litografia da ars moriendi.
