In 1989, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Second Optional Protocol ICCPR which provided for the abolition of the death penalty. But this Protocol was only an optional recommendation, should not be legally binding on all members, and only those members who voluntarily participate in this Protocol have international legal obligations to eliminate the death penalty within the system. Until now, the abolition of the death penalty is not an international legal obligation for all countries to comply with. Therefore, there are many member states around the world have abolished this penalty from the legal system. This regulation not only protects human right better but also express the progress of legislation of law and policymakers.

Authors: Anzar Huthasuhut Muhammad Fanny , Lubis Permana Honneyta , Utami Sorayanti
Published: August 2022

This study aims to examine the effect of brand image and lifestyle on purchase intention which is mediated by consumer attitudes towards personal care products with regional comparisons as moderating multigroup (Study on Consumers in Banda Aceh and Lhokseumawe). The population was consumers who bought personal care products from the Nivea brand in Banda Aceh and Lhokseumawe. The sampling technique used was Quota Sampling with the number of respondents as many as 200 people consisting of 100 people in the Banda Aceh area and 100 people in the Lhoksumawe area. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires directly to all respondents and measured using a Likert scale and tested using SEM-AMOS. The results reveal that brand image and consumer attitude affect purchase intention, lifestyle does not affect purchase intention, brand image and lifestyle affect consumer attitudes, consumer attitude partially mediates the brand image role in purchase intentions, and consumer attitude fully mediates the lifestyle role in consumer purchase intention. The result of different test on two groups of consumers in Banda Aceh and Lhokseumawe proves that the lifestyles of consumers in Banda Aceh and Lhokseumawe are different. This is because the impact of consumer lifestyle on the intention to buy Nivea personal care products will increase if sold in Banda Aceh City compared to sales in Lhokseumawe City.

The research was carried out for a live (G+5) structure. SAP2000 finite component software was used to analyze the building. Due to high land prices and a scarcity of land, multi-story structures are widespread in India. Seismic is a marvel that has the power to ruin huge constructions. Structures should be designed from the bottom up to be safe for people's lives, with the appropriate style and features, in order to have a flexible and reasonable disappointment. The primary purpose is to construct a tremor-resistant structure by performing a business seismic investigation, establishing the look with a static comparable research strategy, and analysing and planning the structure using SAP2000. As a result, all zones (II, III, IV, and V) were calculated by checking the structure's reaction and behaviour using its base shear, structural deformation, and performance curve.

Bearings Intelligent Fault Diagnosis by 1-D Adder Neural Networks
Authors: Tang Jian , Wei Chao , Li Quanchang , Wang Yinjun , Ding Xiaoxi , Huang Wenbin
Published: August 2022

Integrated with sensors, processors and RF communication modules, intelligent bearing could achieve the autonomous perception and autonomous decision-making, guarantying the safety and reliability during their use. However, because of the resource limitations of the end device, processors in the intelligent bearing are unable to carry the computational load of deep learning models like convolutional neural network (CNN), which involves a great amount of multiplicative operations. To minimize the computation cost of the conventional CNN, based on the idea of AdderNet, a 1-D adder neural network with a wide first-layer kernel (WAddNN) suitable for bearing fault diagnosis is proposed in this paper. The proposed method uses the l1-norm distance between filters and input features as the output response, thus making the whole network almost free of multiplicative operations. The whole model takes the original signal as the input, uses a wide kernel in the first adder layer to extract features and suppress the high frequency noise, then uses two layers of small kernels for nonlinear mapping. Through experimental comparison with CNN models of the same structure, WAddNN is able to achieve a similar accuracy as CNN models with significantly reduced computational cost. The proposed model provides a new fault diagnosis method for intelligent bearings with limited resources.

Published: August 2022

CTEPH is the only type of surgically curable pulmonary arterial hypertension. In spite that, up to 50% of all CTEPH patients are rejected of surgical treatment because of distal lesions of pulmonary arteries or because of other contraindications. Medical treatment was proven to be one of the options to support this cohort of patients. Recent clinical studies addressed some medication regimens for treatment of CTEPH patients and showed distinct changes of different PH-variables with time. We discuss the main principles of drug therapy for inoperable CTEPH as well as for patients awaiting surgery, during and after pulmonary thrombo-endarterectomy.

Optimal substrates for producing housefly larvae with high nutritional composition for sustainable poultry feed in Niger
Authors: Leyo I.H. , Ousmane Z.M. , Francis F. , Megido R. Caparros
Published: August 2022

Poultry farming, because of its many potentialities (i.e. short duration of reproduction and production cycle, rapid return on investment), occupies a place of choice in development strategies and the fight against poverty in most African countries. In Niger, West Africa, poultry are fed specific protein-providing feed ingredients (such as fishmeal); however, these ingredients are very expensive and unsustainable. Larvae represent a potential alternative source of protein for poultry. Here, we investigated different substrates to optimise housefly (Musca domestica L. 1758) maggot production and nutritional composition. Eight dry substrates were tested. The highest larval biomass (larval biomass produced by 10 mg of house fly egg placed on 50 g dry substrate) and mean weight (individual house fly larvae 5 days after the incorporation of eggs on the substrate) were observed on millet and wheat bran (3,446.67±134.16 mg and 24.00±1.01 mg, respectively). However, larvae produced on Brewer’s spent grains had the highest protein and lipid content (53.79±1.04% and 24.13±5.20%, respectively). Ash content was highest for larvae produced on cow dung and a mixture of 50% wheat bran and 50% cow dung (15.01±0.32% and 15.41±0.09%, respectively). Maggots produced on rumen contents had the highest water content (80.89±0.22%). The profile of produced larvae included palmitic acid (30.99±0.48% on grain), palmitoleic acid (30.26±2.84% on cow dung), oleic acid (27.93±0.31% on rice hulls), and linoleic acid (26.41±0.18% on millet bran + rumen contents). For all substrates, Maggots contained more unsaturated fatty acids (57.59-66.52%) than saturated fatty acids (26.54-46.34%). This study, offers to farmers a wide variety of substrates that could be used to produce maggots, providing a sustainable source of protein that has not been previously available in Niger. We recommend the farmers to use the cow dung to produce maggots without cost.

Authors: Waddell-Henowitch Candice M. , Kruth Madeleine L. , Stephen Heather M.
Published: August 2022

Background:

The reemergence of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020 reinforced the need for antiracist and decolonizing praxis in all areas, including nursing education, the burden for which has fallen predominantly on visible minorities. To enact the needed change within health care systems and nursing education, White nurses must recognize their privilege and become active participants in the conversations and change.

Method:

This two-phase qualitative study explored nursing and psychiatric nursing students' experiences of racism and antiracism education at a small western Canadian university.

Results:

Anonymous qualitative surveys (
n
= 24) and structured interviews (
n
= 9) with nursing and psychiatric nursing students highlighted the difficulties and complexities of recognizing racism and a present lack of antiracism praxis in educational and health care settings.

Conclusion:

Nursing educators must reevaluate structural and behavioral aspects of nursing education to support genuine antiracism praxis.

Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua stability in carrot juice preserved by high hydrostatic pressure
Authors: Nasiłowska Justyna , Sokołowska Barbara , Fonberg-Broczek Monika
Published: August 2022

The effect of High Hydrostatic Pressure (HHP) on Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua in carrot juice was evaluated just after pressurization and during refrigerated storage for 14 days. Samples were processed with different variants of pressure (300,400,500) and time (1 min, 5 min, and 10 min). The number of bacteria in the populations was analyzed using plating count methods. Required 5 log reduction was achieved only for L. innocua strains starting from 400 MPa for 5 min. E. coli strains displayed resistance to pressure, and the maximum reduction achieved was 2 log CFU/mL for the harshest process parameters. Sublethal injuries in the bacterial population were observed for all tested strains. According to two standardized ISO methods, selective conventional agars, TBX, and ALOA were used in the storage test. Additionally, the Thin Agar Layer (TAL) method was applied. In both used methods, the possibilities of recovery were provided. The regeneration was observed exclusively for L. innocua strains. The recovery of sublethally injured cells on ALOA and TAL did not differ statistically in every strain. In turn, results obtained for E. coli suggest that TBX may underestimate the number of HHP-injured bacteria.

Published: August 2022

In this study, we have presented two new alternative definitions corresponding to the basic definitions of the discrete delta and nabla fractional difference operators. These definitions and concepts help us in establishing a relationship between Riemann-Liouville and Liouville-Caputo fractional differences of higher orders for both delta and nabla operators. We then propose and analyse some convexity results for the delta and nabla fractional differences of the Riemann-Liouville type. We also derive similar results for the delta and nabla fractional differences of Liouville-Caputo type by using the proposed relationships. Finally, we have presented two examples to confirm the main theorems.

Published: August 2022

A significant distinction between the COVID-19 pandemic and previous pandemics is the significant role of social media platforms in shaping public adherence to non-pharmaceutical interventions and vaccine acceptance. However, with the recurrence of the epidemic, the conflict between epidemic prevention and production recovery has become increasingly prominent on social media. To help design effective communication strategies to guide public opinion, we propose a susceptible-forwarding-immune pseudo-environment (SFI-PE) dynamic model for understanding the environment with direct and indirect propagation behaviors. Then, we introduce a system with external interventions for direct and indirect propagation behaviors, termed the macro-controlled SFI-PE (M-SFI-PE) model. Based on the numerical analyses that were performed using actual data from the Chinese Sina microblogging platform, the data fitting results prove our models' effectiveness. The research grasps the law of the new information propagation paradigm, and our work bridges the gap between reality and theory in information interventions.

We study an overdetermined problem that arises as the Euler-Lagrange equation of a weighted variational problem in elasticity. Based on a detailed linear analysis by spherical harmonics, we prove the existence and local uniqueness as well as an optimal stability estimate for the shape of a domain allowing the solvability of the overdetermined problem. Our linear analysis reveals that the solution structure is strongly related to the choice of parameters in the problem. In particular, the global uniqueness holds for the pair of the parameters lying in a triangular region.

Nel presente articolo, gli autori concentrano la propria attenzione sul tema connesso al diritto alla salute e alla sua applicazione nel settore della chirurgia durante la pandemia di COVID-19. Ciascuno di essi approfondisce le questioni sottese all’argomento in base alle proprie competenze. L’emergenza sanitaria comporta numerose sfide e muoversi in questo scenario non è facile per coloro che svolgono le professioni sanitarie. Al fine di comprendere come possa essere gestita l’emergenza sanitaria senza sacrificare il diritto alla salute degli individui, sono analizzate le raccomandazioni elaborate nello specifico settore della chirurgia. Infine, gli autori rilevano come non si possa prescindere dalla ricerca scientifica che diviene il faro che illumina la strada da percorrere nel mezzo della pandemia di COVID-19.
Artificial Intelligence and Democratic Rule of Law
Authors: Fornasier Mateus de Oliveira
Published: August 2022

This work aims to study fundamental legal theorizations linked to the Democratic Rule of Law in the scope of the intersection between Law and Artificial Intelligence. Results: i) Digital technologies mainly challenge the theoretical notions of territoriality and personality, fundamental to modern Law — and with that, theoretical notions about civil and criminal responsibility and fundamental freedoms should be reviewed in relation to the existence of autonomous non-human beings; ii) The Democratic Rule of Law, which is based, among other important notions, on legality and due process, will also have to be rethought in the context of the intersection of Law and Artificial Intelligence, since the decision-making processes carried out by autonomous systems have a nature that challenges traditional legal argumentative logic and transparency. Methodology: hypothetical-deductive method of procedure, with qualitative approach and bibliographic-documentary research technique.
A teoria da representação política e o dogma da democracia representativa eleitoral
Authors: Martins Thomas Passos
Published: August 2022

Com base num estudo sobre a teoria da representação política, este presente artigo busca questionar a suposta ligação ontológica entre representação, eleição e democracia que sustenta a ideia de democracia representativa eleitoral. No decorrer desta análise, será demonstrado que o sistema dito representativo assenta-se numa imprecisão semântica que confunde a boa compreensão da sua natureza, uma vez que, quando criada, no final do século XVIII, a representação política foi pensada contra a ideia democrática e numa negação mesmo de uma verdadeira representação. Com efeito, ao examinar os fundamentos teóricos do sistema representativo, veremos que, amparada no conceito de soberania nacional, a qualidade representativa de um órgão não decorre do seu modo de designação mas sim da natureza do poder exercido por ele, isto é, o poder de querer para a nação, conforme explicita Pierre Brunet. Sendo assim, verifica-se que a representação, em direito público, não é processual e sim funcional, não passando a eleição de um mero processo de seleção dos governantes que em nada cria qualquer tipo de representação. Daí que será apresentada a teoria do órgão do Estado como sendo mais apropriada para explicar a lógica do sistema representativo. Por fim, concluímos essa pesquisa ressaltando o fato de que, apesar de os traços essenciais da representação política ainda permanecerem hoje em vigor, a universalização do sufrágio e o fortalecimento da participação popular contribuíram a alterar a natureza do sistema representativo moderno, o qual, conforme afirma Bernard Manin, poderia ser definido como misto.
Shading of Citrus Orchards
Authors: Abobatta Waleed Fouad
Published: August 2022

Citrus is a valuable fruit that can be grown in varying climatic conditions. The Mediterranean climate is considered the favorable climate condition for citrus production and presents exceptional fruit quality than in native regions. There are negative impacts of climate change in the main areas of production, which have negative effects on the future of citriculture. Under semi-arid conditions, rising temperature and high solar radiation might reduce growth rate and yield. Shading is considered a common agriculture practice in nurseries and has recently been used in various commercial fruit orchards. This practice has several advantages for citrus trees particularly in arid and semi-arid environments, as it affects orchard micro-climate reducing the high temperature, light intensity, solar radiation, etc. Tree shading improves leaf photosynthetic efficacy, reduces environmental stress, enhances tree growth, increases yield, and improves fruit quality, reducing disease and pest infection. Shading is considered a principal agriculture practice as a part of integrated farm management.

Water plays an essential purpose in agricultural yield. Unfortunately, water shortages have led to desertification and salination of soils, threatening the durable progress of agriculture, horticulture, and food security, especially in dried regions, where water resources are a severe problem. The hydrogel absorbed the water, released it to the plants as required while maintaining the soil moist during long periods. Biopolymer as guar gum-based hydrogel is becoming one of the most green ways to hydrogel materials for water retention. Artificial intelligence (AI) is used in hydrogel technology as a result of high energy consumption to make process control and optimization of synthesis and development. Sustainable environment for hydrogel technology was integrated by AI model.
Genetic Resources, Breeding, and Molecular Genetic Markers for Orchard Improvement and Management
Authors: Azzam Clara R.
Published: August 2022

Orchards play a key role in the non-petroleum economy of many developing countries. Developing orchards with good adaptation to abiotic and biotic stress is the main point for plant researchers to improve and increase fruit yield in many parts of the world. They have established seed production zones in the best natural stands to provide seed until orchard production can satisfy all needs. Conventional breeding and genetic improvement are time-consuming and don't associate good results in orchards. Because of their great utility, genetic markers will become standard tools for orchard improvement in the future. Biotechnology creates a genetic alteration in orchards comparatively short with slight modifications to other valid characters (tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses, enhanced post-harvest shelf life of fruit, reduced vegetative propagation phase, and fruit production with higher nutritional values). Thus, it leads to an uprising in orchard sciences, fruit tree breeding, and orchard improvement and management.
The Relationship of Insects and the Process of Pollination to Increase the Production of Orchards

In the US, the cultivated area and production of crops benefit from insect pollination. Mango orchards contain Zebda, Hendi sinara and Ewais varieties and Figryclan, Aranaba cultivars, cultivated together and without Zebda variety. Surveyed insects found 18 species belonging to order Diptera, Coleoptera, ymenoptera, and Neuroptera found during flowering periods. Cultivation of Zebda variety alone tended to decrease the yield/tree. Zebda cultivated mixed with selected varieties and cultivars significantly increased the yield/tree (58.10 and 56.10kg against 38.6, 36.6kg). Cultivation of mango varieties and cultivars in mixed system used application farm yard manure during flowering cycle, increased insect mango pollinators to the maximum, and increased the high mango yields and high good return for the mango growers.

Monitoring of soil elements is essential in characterizing the soil and, therefore, making proper decisions regarding fertilizer application and choice of crops sown. Laboratory soil testing involves the collection of soil samples from different locations and more time and cost. It should upgrade with current technologies like the internet of things (IoT), sensors, and data science. These emerging technologies are smart enough to replace lab testing in real time with minimum effort and with the most accurate results. So, in this research work with a portable IoT device that is coupled with sensors, we can test the soil from wide locations. The system tends to implementation of portable handheld device for soil testing in the Haldwani region. The system is a microcontroller-based device connected to temperature, moisture, and pH sensor. It takes readings from sensors and shows them on LCD. Finally, the data is used for further analysis and comparison. The main idea behind the system is to make it portable to identify the temperature, moisture, and pH of soil.
