Kopra adalah daging kelapa yang telah dikeringkan dengan menggunakan cara tradisional maupun modern. Umum para petani menggunakan cara tradisional seperti dikeringkan dengan memanfaatkan cahaya matahari dan bara api (pengasapan), dimana panas suhu diantaranya 40-80 derajat celcius untuk menghasilkan kopra dengan kualitas yang baik. Kopra yang merupakan bahan baku minyak kelapa ini tidak bisa terlepas dari kebutuhan masyarakat sehingga kualitas kopra sangat wajib diperhatikan oleh seorang petani atau pembeli. Umumnya untuk mengetahui kualitas kopra dilakukan secara langsung dengan memanfaatkan penglihatan, penciuman dan menyentuh bahan baku tersebut dan mencocokan dengan parameter-parameter kualitas kopra yang baik. Sehingga pada penelitian ini penulis menerapkan Algoritma Nearest Mean Classifier dengan memanfaatkan citra atau gambar kopra sebanyak 100 sampel yang diambil menggunakan kamera standar untuk klasifikasikan kualitas kopra dengan memanfaatkan warna dan tekstur local binary pattern pada citra kopra. Penelitian ini menggunakan matlab untuk pengolah data dan membangun interface aplikasi. Hasil dari penelitian ini menujukan bahwa dari 20 citra yang diujikan hanya 2 data uji gagal, sehingga hasil akurasi mencapai 90%.Kata Kunci: Klasifikasi, Kopra, Nearest Mean Classifier

O câncer é uma doença silenciosa que acomete pessoas vítimas da industrialização. Há um século, essa doença era menos frequente. Naquela época, em muitas regiões do mundo, as mortes ocorriam comumente por doenças infecciosas, por consequência, esses indivíduos também apresentavam expectativa de vida reduzida para o desenvolvimento do câncer Objetivo: as estratégias de prevenções primárias, secundárias e terciárias têm como objetivos prevenir enfermidades diagnosticá-las e trata-las precocemente e minimizar os efeitos na população, com o intuito de garantir um padrão de vida adequado para cada indivíduo. Metodologia: Estudo descritivo e analítico de revisão integrativa realizada em base de dados nacionais, entre 2017 e 2022, compreendendo 15 estudos referentes à associação entre câncer de pulmão e câncer de pâncreas. Analise e discussão dos resultados: O câncer do pâncreas e do pulmão está fortemente sujeito a fatores de risco não hereditários, portanto modificáveis, condições devem, portanto, ser evitadas para prevenir a doença rastreada para fins de diagnóstico precoce e ​​um prognóstico para o paciente. Conclusão: A metodização da equipe multidisciplinar que conduz o paciente deve ser mais humanizada para que o enfermo oncológico e os familiares consigam suportar a doença, e assim rastrear um tratamento apropriado. A investigação oncológica aumenta de maneira intensa, e esse crescimento se faz à custa da idealização, realização e publicação de estudos científicos. A oncologia, como qualquer outra área da medicina, baseia-se em estudos, estes originam uma agregação de respostas, que são o apoio do entendimento oncológico e, a cada dia novas respostas são acrescentadas ao volume de conhecimento já existente.
Cómo los tecnólogos "responden" a lo que suele ser llamado "imagen". Una respuesta arqueológica medial al "cuestionamiento sobre la ontología cambiante de la imagen"
Authors: Luna Vilchis Miguel Ángel , Colín Miriam Sanabria , Ernst Wolfang
Published: October 2023

Este texto examina el desplazamiento ontológico de la imagen (o lo que solía llamarse así) desde la perspectiva de la arqueología medial. Se parte de la imagen asociada a la visión antropocéntrica y se contrasta con la generación actual de imágenes mediante medios computacionales e inteligencia artificial. Wolfgang Ernst realiza un análisis arqueológico que aborda diversos aspectos de la imagen, como la función de la "mirada" y la "visión" desde la perspectiva de la máquina, cuestiones como iconicidad e indexicalidad se ponen en juego con la visión tecnologocéntrica y direccionable de las imágenes en red, así como el papel cambiante de la imagen archivo como un tipo de imagen que se ancla en el aspecto operativo y que contribuye a un deslizamiento de la ontología del archivo mismo.  Todo lo anterior para dar un paso hacía una fenomenología de la visión de los medios desde dentro de la tecnología, proponiendo una ontología no humana de la imagen.
THE INFLUENCE OF HEALTH WORKERS’ DISTRIBUTION ON THE QUALITY OF HEALTH SERVICE DELIVERY IN PUBLIC HOSPITALS IN MANDERA COUNTY, KENYA
Authors: Fatuma Abdirahman  , Musa Oluoch  , Kezia Njoroge
Published: October 2023

Background: Quality health care access remains a primary agenda on SDGs at global level. Locally, on personnel, the number of medical professionals per capita within the local governmental entities is frequently used to indicate the unequal distribution of healthcare personnel. Variances in increased mortality trends, the necessity for healthcare services per capita, and hence the human required resources per capita, may differ among units. Mandera County faces similar challenges. The main objective of this study was to determine how health workers’ distribution influences the quality of service delivery of health services at government hospitals in Mandera County.
Methods: Using a descriptive research design, health personnel from Mandera County Referral Hospital, Laffey, Rhamu and Banisa Sub County Hospitals formed the unit of analysis. The study conducted December 2022 used a random sample of 189 respondents from a population of 357 using proportional and simple systematic sampling procedures. A questionnaire method that was self-administered and 10 KII (patients) was used to gather data.
Results: The study found and concluded that at the significance level of 95%, skills mix, Individual Factors, Institutional Environment and socio-cultural factors were significant and positively correlated factors in influencing quality of health service delivery in public hospitals in Mandera County with significance values of 0.001, .005, .003 and .002 respectively.
Conclusion: All the studied variables only affect quality of healthcare service at 53.2%, implying 46.8% needs to be explored further.

Influence of Different Texts and Religions on M.K. Gandhi’s Philosophy of Peace
Authors: - Dr. Dipanwita Chakraborty
Published: October 2023

Peace refers to both internal peace as well as external peace. M.K. Gandhi believed that the path of truth is the path of peace and he added a new facet of non-violence to the world of philosophy to find the path of truth. He wanted to build a world of peace based on non-violence where there would be no war, no revolution and no bloodshed. He said that peace would not come until the great powers boldly take decision to disarm them. So there needs to be a limit on the production of swords in the world just like the production of opium because swords are probably the cause of more human misery than opium. Violence can never be beneficial to mankind. So violence has to be completely given up in the world affairs and it is possible when love and non-violence are the rules of human existence. In fact he believed that peace can be established through non-violence. It has to be said that in adopting the principle of non-violence and truth. Gandhi was influenced by various religions such as Vaishnavism, Jainism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam apart from texts.

Marital Rape: An Examination of Legal and Social Perspectives in India
Authors: - Avinash S Nair
Published: October 2023

This paper delves into the nuanced understanding of marital rape within the context of Indian law and society. While traditional definitions of rape focused on non-consensual intercourse involving impersonation, common law has expanded the definition to encompass non-consensual intercourse without consent, encompassing elements of force, fear, or fraud. This evolution traces back to historical perceptions of ravishment as trespass, later evolving into a capital felony, and eventually being penalized with overseas transportation before transitioning to life imprisonment. India's legal stance on marital rape diverges, considering it an offense only if the wife is under 15 years old. Even with the enactment of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act in 2005, marital rape continues to be classified as a form of domestic violence. Section 498 of the Indian Penal Code broadens the concept of a husband to encompass individuals who have assumed a husband-like role through marriage-like arrangements. Mental cruelty is recognized and penalized under this statute, thereby revealing the Indian Constitution's commitment to ending gender discrimination, albeit with certain gaps in legislation. The analysis also highlights the conflict between exceptions in Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code and married women's fundamental rights and privacy. The repercussions of marital rape extend beyond the wife, affecting children as well. As such, there is a pressing need to advocate for the criminal prosecution of marital rape. By shedding light on the complex legal and social dimensions surrounding marital rape in India, this paper contributes to the discourse on women's rights and gender equality on an international platform.

Authors: - SHOVAN NASIM HAIDER
Published: October 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has been wreaking havoc on the economy as well as the fact that it creates possible opportunities, since it’s surgence in the beginning of 2020. This paper aims to specifically analyse the effects, both positive as well as negative, of the pandemic on Micro-, Small-, and Medium-Enterprises (MSME’s) in Halmstad, Sweden.
For this purpose a total of seven (7) interviews have been conducted with business owners, and in some cases managers, from a variety of different businesses. The interviewees include managers and owners from, restaurants, fabric oriented businesses, grocery stores, and printing businesses.
Results from these interviews paint a varied picture. Some businesses started collaborating more or made, often necessary, changes which helped to better the business results and or processes. Other interviewed businesses were less fortunate and mostly dealt with lower revenues, less customers and high fixed costs.
To draw meaningful conclusions it would be recommended to focus future research on this topic on a specific branch or set of branches. To further heighten the quality of the research the scale on which the interviews have been conducted could be enlarged, leading to more certainty in the conclusion when it comes to generalising findings.

Authors: Ustik Tetiana , Karmazinova Viktoriia , Shurpa Svitlana , Zhuk Olena , Boiko Olha , Radkevych Larysa
Published: October 2023

Studying the prospects of branding and advertising business in the context of digital transformation is important in view of the influence of these areas on the formation of consumers’ views and beliefs, and ultimately - trends in their demand for goods and services. The aim of the article is to identify the main challenges that digitization creates for traditional and digital marketing communications. The research employed the methods of horizontal and vertical analysis, correlation analysis, and SWOT analysis. The study identified the key challenges for branding, which include wide access of consumers to information on the Internet, which increases competition and forces brands to find new ways to attract customers’ attention. Another challenge is the potential damage to a brand’s reputation because of increased interaction with consumers. These factors force brands to constantly adapt, strengthen their presence in the digital environment, use influence marketing tools, and increase personalization. At the same time, digitalization opens up a number of new opportunities for the advertising business, in particular, new ways of reaching, informing, and attracting consumers, as well as offering and selling them products and services, enabling a more creative, individual approach. However, implementing advertising strategies requires proper skills. The study found that digital advertisement spending is trending upward, especially in the digital applications and search advertising segments. A SWOT analysis showed that the branding and advertising business has great opportunities, and successfully implemented branding and advertising strategies can contribute to the elimination of weaknesses and threats. The research results can be applied in the practice of advertising agencies and companies by using the proposed approach to evaluate advertising costs' effectiveness. This study corresponds to the theme of WSEAS Transactions on Information Science and Applications because its content correlates with digitalization, digital communications, and advertising on the Internet, which, in turn, are closely related to the development of information technologies.

Katılımcıların orta düzeyde iş serbest zaman çatışması ortaya koyduğu (4,35±1,63), ortalama değerlerin üzerinde BZYSBEİ (5,09±1,00) düzeyi sergiledikleri belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların İSZÇ ve BZYSBEİ düzeylerinin cinsiyet, yaş, çalışılan kurum, gelir, günlük boş zaman süresi ve çalışma süresine göre anlamlı farklılıklar ortaya koyduğu, hizmet yılına göre anlamlı farklılık göstermediği belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular sağlık çalışanlarının boş zaman yoluyla stresle baş etme inancının ortalamanın üzerinde olduğu, iş serbest zaman çatışmasının nispeten daha düşük olduğunu göstermektedir. Aynı zamanda çeşitli değişkenlerin sağlık çalışanlarının İSZÇ ve BZYSBEİ oldukça farklılaştırdığını ortaya koymaktadır. Sonuç olarak sağlık çalışanlarının boş zamanlarına yönelik çeşitli programlar vasıtasıyla iş serbest zaman çatışmasını ortadan kaldırmaları ve bu faaliyetler doğrultusunda stresle baş etme inançlarını artırması gerektiği söylenebilir.
Updated checklist of polychaete species (Annelida) recorded from Malaysia, with remarks on the research history
Authors: Razmi Shah Raz Shauqeena Batrisyea , Ibrahim Yusof , Villalobos-Guerrero Tulio , Sato Masanori
Published: October 2023

An updated comprehensive checklist of polychaete species, which have been recorded from Malaysian waters, is provided, with their geographic distributions and the research history for them. A total of 57 species belonging to 30 families have been reported since the early 1870s, with Nereididae as the most dominant family with ten species; however, more than half of the total are questionable species in the country. Despite the increased efforts of polychaete studies in the past decade, the taxonomic endeavour of discovering and describing species in the country could be higher. Malaysian polychaetes were mostly recorded from Peninsular Malaysia, whereas very few were from Borneo Island. Most previously recorded species were associated with intertidal and estuarine habitats and a few were found in the subtidal and freshwater environments. We stress the need for urgent research on this biologically, ecologically and culturally relevant taxonomic group as the species accumulation curve grows exponentially in this megadiverse country.

The current checklist has been updated since the previous one in 2013. Many species previously listed were judged as doubtful and not taxonomically reliable.
Changes in the functional and phylogenetic diversity of above- and below-ground plant communities invaded by two alien herbs
Authors: Gioria Margherita , Carta Angelino , Balogianni Vasiliki , Fornara Dario , Pyšek Petr , Osborne Bruce A.
Published: October 2023

Introduced plants can have long-lasting and irreversible effects on the communities and ecosystems they invade. A critical step towards understanding the legacy of plant introductions is the characterisation of changes in the invaded plant communities and how these changes are related to biogeochemical modifications. Here, we addressed this issue by comparing the impacts of two large invasive herbs, Gunnera tinctoria and Impatiens glandulifera, on the compositional, functional, and phylogenetic structure of the standing vegetation (above-ground communities) and the soil seed bank (below-ground communities). The introduction of both invasive species was associated with a significant decrease in above-ground species richness, with subsequent changes in the functional diversity and phylogenetic dispersion of the vegetation. Yet, these invaders differed in their long-term impacts and the reversibility of any modifications they caused. While G. tinctoria invasions resulted in phylogenetically clustered communities (both above- and below-ground) that were clearly distinct from uninvaded ones, seed bank communities invaded by I. glandulifera were indistinguishable from uninvaded ones, despite major compositional changes above-ground. Further, we found alterations in nutrient cycling associated with G. tinctoria invasions that could facilitate its local persistence and exacerbate any negative effects on native diversity. Our findings suggest a high susceptibility of pre-invasion above-ground communities to colonisation by distantly related herbs. However, the seed banks showed a degree of resilience against both invaders, with no major differences in species richness. Ultimately, differences in the impacts of these large invasive herbs suggest that dominance in the vegetation and a large stature are poor predictors of long-term plant community changes, including regeneration potential from seed, which are associated with plant introductions.

Liquidity creation, as a core functions of banks, affects the stability of the financial system and economic development significantly. However, the existing literature has largely ignored the impact of complex interbank linkages on liquidity creation. This may distort the understanding of liquidity creation away from its essence to some extent in the context of an increasingly interconnected financial system. Using a sample of 1406 banks from 29 European countries during 2010–2021, we use a complex network to model the interbank market and study its impact on liquidity creation. Our results indicate that dominant borrowers in the network create less liquidity as a result of their more prudent liquidity management. Higher bank capital weakens this negative relationship due to its risk-absorbing capacity. Conversely, dominant lenders in the network create more liquidity because of their more optimistic expectations and more lax liquidity management. Higher non-interest income weakens this positive relationship because of the higher risk of non-traditional business, which requires banks to hold more precautionary liquidity. Moreover, we test for endogeneity and use the full sample to verify the robustness of our results.

Authors: Mishra Raghvendra Kumar
Published: October 2023

Fibre reinforced composites are used in automotive, defence and structural applications because of their economic and ecological advantage but they have limitation of lower mechanical strength. To balance this limitation of mechanical properties, hybrid composites are being manufactured. In this paper jute and human hair was selected for preparation of jute / human hair reinforced polyester hybrid composite. Human hair was selected because it is non-biodegradable and has high tensile strength. A single human hair can bear 1.5 Newton load. Recently various researcher started work towards development of bio-composites. It has been found that a mechanical property increases after adding hair in hybrid composites. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, young modulus, and flexural strength were also compared with the already published jute composite results. To understand the fracture behaviour of composite morphology of the fractured surface was done by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The composite application is in environmental conditions addition and thus it is subjected to moisture presence, therefore study of water absorption behaviour of fabricated composite was also studied.

The results of experimental studies and computer modeling of reinforced concrete and fiber concrete cross-beam systems are presented. The authors have made a special stand, the design of which allows to carry out researches of bearing capacity and deformability of such systems under the concentrated and distributed static loads. Samples made of reinforced concrete and steel fiber concrete and consisting of four mutually perpendicular beams of rectangular cross-section were tested. The specimens were reinforced in the lower zone with longitudinal reinforcement of 8 mm in diameter, two rods in each beam. Steel-fiber concrete specimens have an additional dispersed reinforcement of steel fiber with bent ends in an amount of 1% by volume of concrete. A procedure of finite-element modeling and calculation of cross-beam systems in the licensed program ANSYS 17.1 was developed, and a comparison of the results obtained experimentally and on the basis of computer modeling was performed. The tests showed that dispersed reinforcement of the cross-beam system with steel fiber leads to an increase in its bearing capacity by 1.23 times. During modeling and finite-element analysis in the ANSYS 17.1 program, the increase in bearing capacity was 1.18 times. At the same time, the load-carrying capacity of the reinforced concrete cross-beam system obtained by the finite-element method was 13% lower than in the experiment, and that of the fiber-reinforced concrete system was 15% lower. At the same time, the discrepancy in the approaches considering torsion and not taking it into account is about 5% for all the samples studied in the work.

Nowadays, the demand for glass fibre-reinforced polymers (GFRPs) has increased in the industry owing to their low weight, high strength, corrosion resistance and low cost compared with other fibre-reinforced polymer composites. However, GFRP is anisotropic material with low interlaminar strength where the damage can occur without warning. Integrating a real-time damage detection process can mitigate this problem. Therefore, this paper presents the initial fabrication of an embedded capacitive sensor into the GFRP by using conductive electrodes inbetween its layers. To form the sensing electrodes, glass fibre yarns were coated with conductive material and braided into the fibregalss woven fabric. Two coating methods were considered to form embedded electrodes in this work which include aerosol spray coatings that were carbon based and gold-based physical vapour deposition, (PVD). It has been shown that spray coating has a weak bond and the carbon particles disperse during the molding process. In the PVD technique the nanoparticle (Au) distributed uniformly along the fibres and has a good resistance (≈100Ω). The capacitive sensor based on gold coating was exaimined using a three point bending test which demonstrate linear response toward the flexural load with a sensitivity of 25.1 fF/N.

In this article in order to verify the probability of the formation of the compound CaBaAl4O8, a thermodynamic analysis of the following possible solid-phase reactions of its formation was carried out: formation of CaBaAl4O8 from the initial components - calcium carbon dioxide, barium carbon dioxide and aluminum oxide; the probability of formation of dual compounds CaAl2O4 and BaAl2O4 from the same raw materials (since the compound CaBaAl4O8 is located on the BaAl2O4-CaAl2O4 conjugate) and the possibility of formation of the compound CaBaAl4O8 from binary compounds CaAl2O4 and BaAl2O4. As a result of our experimental studies, the existence of ternary compounds Вa3CaAl2O7 and ВaCa2Al8O15 was confirmed, and it was found that the Вa3CaAl2O7 compound exists in the system at least up to a temperature of 1400 °C. Thus, our studies have determined an increase in the temperature limits of its existence, in contrast to the data of previous researchers, who indicated 1250 °C as the upper temperature of existence of Вa3CaAl2O7.

Published: October 2023

A methodology for analytical stability assessment of individual compressed flexible phases of discretely heterogeneous composite elements of engineering structures is proposed to ensure their reliable safe operation and minimise the consequences of emergencies. Based on the energy balance equation for the proportional forces of a normal resistance of the medium to the phase displacement, expressions are obtained for determining the critical force, taking into account the possible initial curvature (non-rectilinearity) of a single phase in the elastic medium of the matrix for three possible cases of stability loss. The approbation of the results of the study on the example of deformation features of reinforcing bars in a compressed reinforced concrete column is presented.

Published: October 2023

Nuclear power plants (NPPs) result in accumulation of a significant amount of radioactive products during the process of their storage and the presence of a potential release of radioactive products, in the case of an accident that is a source of potential hazard and risk of radiation impact on the personnel, population and environment in general. The paper shows the microgalvanic corrosion element formed on the inner wall of fuel rods made of Zr + 1%Nb alloy and pellets made of uranium oxides, as well as the outer galvanic element of fuel rods and structural materials of the reactor made of steel of different grades. The hazards caused by corrosion damage and release of hazardous radioactive substances from the reactor based operating area are analyzed. The possibility of predicting the rate of corrosion damage using a mathematical model on the thermodynamic approach is determined and established.
Alloantigen Infusion Activates the Transcriptome of Type 2 Conventional Dendritic Cells

Published: October 2023

Recent studies have revealed novel molecular mechanisms by which innate monocytic cells acutely recognize and respond to alloantigen with significance to allograft rejection and tolerance. What remains unclear is the single-cell heterogeneity of the innate alloresponse, particularly the contribution of dendritic cell (DC) subsets. To investigate the response of these cells to exposure of alloantigen, C57BL/6J mice were administered live allogenic BALB/cJ splenic murine cells versus isogenic cells. In parallel, we infused apoptotic allogenic and isogenic cells, which have been reported to modulate immunity. Forty-eight hours after injection, recipient spleens were harvested, enriched for DCs, and subjected to single-cell mRNA sequencing. Injection of live cells induced a greater transcriptional change across DC subsets compared with apoptotic cells. In the setting of live cell infusion, type 2 conventional DCs (cDC2s) were most transcriptionally responsive with a Ccr2+ cDC2 subcluster uniquely responding to the presence of alloantigen compared with the isogenic control. In vitro experimentation confirmed unique activation of CCR2+ cDC2s following alloantigen exposure. Candidate receptors of allorecognition in other innate populations were interrogated and A type paired Ig-like receptors were found to be increased in the cDC2 population following alloexposure. These results illuminate previously unclear distinctions between therapeutic infusions of live versus apoptotic allogenic cells and suggest a role for cDC2s in innate allorecognition. More critically, these studies allow for future interrogation of the transcriptional response of immune cells in the setting of alloantigen exposure in vivo, encouraging assessment of novel pathways and previously unexamined receptors in this setting.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) have a high prevalence in Oman. This study aimed to examine the association between CKD and viral hepatitis through an observational cohort study conducted at the Royal Hospital of the Sultanate of Oman to evaluate the relationship of HBV and HCV with CKD. During the study, 233 patients were identified, 112 with chronic HBV (Group 1), 112 with chronic HCV (Group 2), and nine with HBV and HCV coinfection (Group 3). The population was predominantly male, especially in Groups 1 and 3. The difference in age between Groups 1 and 2 was significant, with the mean age being 48 ± 14.6 years and 55 ± 12.6 years, respectively (P <0.05). This study revealed that the prevalence of CKD in Group 1 is 51%, in Group 2 was 78%, and in Group 3 was 56%. The mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 79.7 mL/min/1.73 m2 in Group 1, 73.2 mL/min/1.73 m2 in Group 2, and 57.6 mL/min/1.73 m2 in Group 3. CKD had the highest prevalence in Group 2. The lowest eGFR was found in Group 3. Group 2 showed the highest rate of declining renal function over time despite treatment. This study found a significant and independent association between viral hepatitis and the risk of CKD, especially in cases of coinfection and HCV infection. This warrants close monitoring of kidney function during screening and follow-up. Patients with CKD should be screened for viral hepatitis.
