Published: April 2024

This study addresses the development of EndoClassify, an artificial intelligence (AI) model designed to assess endometrial characteristics and enhance embryo receptivity. Utilizing a dataset of 402 endometrial ultrasound images augmented to 14.989, EndoClassify, incorporating Attention U-Net for image segmentation and GoogLeNet Inception for image classification, demonstrated exceptional performance with an accuracy of 95%, loss of 10%, a sensitivity of 93%, and specificity of 93%. The significance of EndoClassify extends beyond its robust metrics. This AI model has transformative potential in clinical settings, offering specialists a reliable, rapid, and accurate tool for endometrial assessment in assisted reproduction technology (ART) cycles. Identifying ‘good endometrium’ with 71% accuracy, corresponding to a 74% pregnancy rate, underscores EndoClassify’s role in significantly improving patient outcomes. In conclusion, the seamless integration of ultrasonographic parameters and AI techniques enhances efficiency in clinical decision-making and signifies a crucial collaboration between advanced technology and clinical expertise. While acknowledging the retrospective design as a limitation, it is imperative to highlight potential biases introduced by this design. Additionally, including fresh and frozen embryo transfers without known ploidy status adds transparency to the study’s limitations. EndoClassify stands as a beacon of progress, poised to revolutionize personalized treatment strategies and bring tangible benefits to specialists and patients in the dynamic landscape of assisted reproductive technology.

The goal of any organization is to obtain the desired result, which can be achieved with the help of proper motivation and actions of employees. The evaluation of personnel in the organization in modern conditions is becoming increasingly relevant. The effectiveness of achieving the goals of the organization directly depends on the personnel potential, personnel policy and the quality of the staff. Regular assessment of the staff contributes to creating an effective working structure, motivating employees, and increasing their productivity. The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristic features of the personnel evaluation process in organizations of the Chuvash Republic. Materials and methods. The methods of analysis of scientific papers, survey and assessment of competencies are applied in the paper. The sample of companies to achieve the research goal was implemented stochastically among small and medium-sized enterprises and organizations of the Chuvash Republic real sector of the economy. It accounted 40 small and medium-sized businesses. Results. The authors analyze the practice of personnel evaluation at various stages of personnel policy implementation in enterprises and organizations included in the sample. The study revealed that the nature, procedure, tools and frequency of evaluation depend on the size of the organization, the position of the head and the company's personnel policy. In general, a properly organized assessment of employees in a company can become a powerful tool for personnel management, contributing to improving the efficiency of the company and achieving its goals. Conclusions. The evaluation of personnel in all areas, the choice of evaluation criteria and the evaluation procedures depend on the size of the organization, the position of the manager and the company's personnel policy.

Published: April 2024

Ensenada wine country, in the State of Baja California, Mexico, accounts for approximately 70–80 % of Mexico’s wine production. Despite its significance, detailed knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of wines remains limited. In this study, we examined nine physicochemical properties of 69 commercial red wines produced from the Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon varietals in the San Vicente, Santo Tomás, and Guadalupe valleys. The pH, total acidity, acetic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, total polyphenols, glucose/fructose ratio, alcohol content, and red color intensity were all analyzed. Tempranillo wines showed significantly higher levels of acetic acid, lactic acid, and total acidity, but lower levels of total polyphenols and malic acid than Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Furthermore, wines from the Santo Tomás region have significantly higher alcohol content, glucose/fructose ratio, total polyphenols, red color intensity, and total acidity, distinguishing them from the wines of San Vicente and Guadalupe. Our results highlight the influence of the grape variety on wine chemistry, emphasizing the possibility for further optimization of the winemaking processes for the benefit of vine growers, enologists, and wine production in the region.
El derecho de arena en el ámbito de los eSports: bases para su reconocimiento como derecho de propiedad intelectual (The Right of Arena in eSports: foundations for its recognition as an intellectual property right)
Authors: Vargas-Chaves Iván
Published: April 2024

En el marco de la discusión sobre reconocimiento del derecho de arena en el ámbito de los eSports, el presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar el contexto jurídico y teórico a través del cual se contempla su extensión como reconocimiento al esfuerzo de los gamers en la puesta en escena y ejecución de las emisiones en plataformas de streaming. La metodología utilizada de análisis documental es de tipo funcional y estructural, a partir de la información especializada proveniente de artículos publicados en revistas indexadas, normatividad vigente, jurisprudencia y otros documentos como reglamentos o información disponible en páginas oficiales de eSports. En la discusión, se presenta el escenario de debate tanto a favor como en contra del reconocimiento del derecho de arena a favor de los gamers, advirtiendo que de momento no existen respuestas sencillas, y que será un reto para la propiedad intelectual concebir mecanismos que le den valor y reconozcan de forma expresa este esfuerzo. Como resultado, el artículo plantea la necesidad de desmarcarlos como meros usuarios de videojuegos, contemplando esta figura en los ordenamientos internos como un derecho intangible, personalísimo e irrenunciable a favor de quienes han hecho en parte posible el éxito que hoy tienen los eSports.
Palabras clave: eSports, Derecho de arena, Gamers, Propiedad intelectual, Derechos de transmisión y retransmisión.
Abstract. The recognition of the ‘right of arena’ in the field of eSports is a complex and controversial issue. This paper analyzes the legal and theoretical context of this debate, focusing on the contribution of gamers to the production and broadcasting of eSports events. The paper uses a functional and structural approach to documentary analysis, drawing on information from indexed journals, current regulations, case law, and other documents, such as regulations or information available on official eSports websites. The discussion presents the arguments for and against the recognition of the right of arena for gamers, concluding that there are no easy answers currently. The paper argues that it will be a challenge for intellectual property law to develop mechanisms that give value and express recognition to the efforts of gamers. As a result, the author proposes the need to distinguish gamers from mere video game users; and proposes that the right of arena be recognized in domestic legal systems as an intangible, personal, and non-waivable right in favor of those who have made the success of eSports possible.
Keywords: eSports, Right of arena, Gamers, Intellectual property, Broadcasting and retransmission rights.

Strategi Komunikasi Interpersonal Guru Bimbingan Konseling (Bk) Dalam Menangani Kenakalan Siswa Smk Negeri 8 Padang
Authors: Erika Aulia Anggraini , Eriend Dion
Published: April 2024

Delinquency in students occurs because the condition of students is still unstable or in the process of searching for their identity. Apart from that, student delinquency can also be influenced by their environment, whether from family, friendship or community environment. With communication between teachers and students who have problems, they will experience their own satisfaction and experience catharsis (the release of the underlying problem with relief and understanding of the problem). But in helping to solve student problems, guidance and counseling teachers need various ways to find out the real problem, and to be able to provide students with an understanding that the student is having problems. Therefore, interpersonal communication strategies are really needed so that students who have problems can express something hidden beneath their self-awareness, beneath their abilities and beneath their feelings. Interpersonal communication strategies themselves have a big influence in changing bad student attitudes. Because face to face or individually, the teacher will know better the reasons why the student committed the act, making it easier for the teacher to find a solution or eliminate the student's bad behavior. Communication is an important aspect of human life, communication is divided into several types of communication, including: interpersonal communication and group communication. The research method used in this research is qualitative with a descriptive approach and uses Social Penetration theory. The results of this research explain the interpersonal communication strategies of guidance and counseling teachers in handling delinquency students at SMK Negeri 8 Padang with full empathy, understanding, openness and good relationships with students.

In the era of communication 5.0, technology is developing rapidly, causing radio to be less attractive to the younger generation. However, Radio Sushi FM, with the program "Pantun Balega", maintains its loyal listeners. The biggest challenge is the dependence on one broadcaster, One Tina. The research aims to understand Radio Sushi 99.1 FM's communication strategy in maintaining the program in Padang City.In this research, the method used is descriptive qualitative because it collects data in the form of words and pictures, not numbers. This approach produces descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words from people and observed behavior. Observation, interviews, and documentation were used for data collection. The research was conducted at Radio Sushi 99.1 FM, Padang, with key informants: General Manager and Program Director, as well as broadcasters of Pantun Balega program. Triangulation was used to ensure the validity of the data.Radio Sushi 99.1 FM's communication strategy in maintaining Pantun Balega program to loyal listeners in Padang City is based on media dependency theory. Through deep understanding of listeners, consistency of broadcast schedule, involvement in the community, and interactivity with listeners, Sushi FM builds strong and sustainable relationships, making it an irreplaceable source of information and entertainment.Radio Sushi 99.1 FM has successfully implemented effective broadcaster communication strategies in the Pantun Balega program, including deep understanding of listeners, consistency of broadcast schedule, involvement in the community, and interactivity with listeners. However, the main drawback is the lack of a substitute broadcaster for the program, leading to dependence on one broadcaster and potential losses during absences.

The world has reached the industry 4.0, where technological developments have been widely applied to electronic payment, with no exception on Muslim countries. This study aims to investigate association between sociodemographic and financial inclusion in country D-8 in the probability of using online financial transactions. Using The Global Findex 2017 from D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation included in OIC countries and the logistic regression, this study explores the effect of sociodemographic namely gender, education, income status and working status on online financial transactions users. Using control variables such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Inflation and Exchange reta, results show that, there is a gender imbalance between men and women in using online transaction to access formal services. On the other hand, individuals who have higher level of education, upper-middle income and high-income, and those who work are more financially inclusive in using online transaction. In conclusion, those with higher sociodemographic status are more likely to use online transaction to access formal financial services. The government and third parties can use this study as policy recommendations for expanding online transaction as well as financial inclusion in developing Muslim countries.

Authors: Achen Kaikara
Published: April 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate impact of dietary factors on metabolic disorders in Animals in Uganda
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The study found that metabolic disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance, and fatty liver syndrome are prevalent among various livestock species in Uganda. The role of dietary components, including energy content, nutrient composition, and the presence of anti-nutritional factors, in contributing to the development and severity of these disorders cannot be understated. Moreover, socio-economic and environmental factors such as limited access to quality forage and the effects of climate change exacerbate the situation, posing additional challenges to maintaining optimal metabolic health in Ugandan livestock
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Nutritional Balancing Theory & Homeorhetic Regulation Theory may be used to anchor future studies on Impact of dietary factors on metabolic disorders in Animals in Uganda. Implement evidence-based dietary interventions tailored to the specific needs of different livestock species in Uganda. These interventions should aim to optimize nutrient composition, balance energy intake, and minimize the presence of anti-nutritional factors in animal feed. Promote the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices that enhance access to quality forage and mitigate the impact of climate change on animal nutrition. This may include strategies such as agroforestry, rotational grazing, and the cultivation of drought-resistant forage crops. Develop and enforce regulations governing the composition and labeling of animal feed in Uganda to ensure the quality and safety of feed ingredients. These regulations should include guidelines for the appropriate use of supplements, additives, and feed additives to minimize the risk of metabolic disorders in animals.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine roles of wildlife reservoirs in the maintenance and transmission of zoonotic diseases in Nigeria.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The study revealed that wildlife populations serve as reservoirs for a diverse array of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites, many of which have the potential to spill over into human populations and cause disease outbreaks. Factors such as habitat destruction, encroachment into wildlife habitats, wildlife trade, and climate change contribute to increased interactions between humans and wildlife, facilitating the transmission of zoonotic pathogens.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Ecological niche theory & Host-Pathogen Coevolution Theory may be used to anchor future studies on roles of wildlife reservoirs in the maintenance and transmission of zoonotic diseases in Nigeria. Strengthen surveillance systems to monitor wildlife populations, identify emerging zoonotic pathogens, and assess the risk of spillover events. This includes implementing targeted surveillance programs in high-risk regions and species known to harbor zoonotic pathogens. Develop and implement wildlife conservation policies that prioritize the protection of biodiversity and ecosystem health while considering the potential risks associated with zoonotic disease transmission.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to long-term effects of assisted reproductive technologies on the health and productivity of animals in Ethiopia.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The study found that the long-term effects of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) on the health and productivity of animals in Ethiopia present both opportunities and challenges. ARTs have the potential to improve livestock breeding programs, enhance genetic diversity, and increase productivity, their implementation requires careful consideration of various factors to ensure sustainable outcomes. While these technologies offer the possibility of overcoming reproductive challenges and genetic limitations, they may also pose risks such as increased rates of reproductive disorders, stress associated with handling and manipulation, and potential transmission of infectious diseases. Therefore, ongoing monitoring and evaluation of animal health and welfare are essential to mitigate any adverse effects and ensure the ethical use of ARTs in livestock production systems.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Life course theory & epigenetic theory may be used to anchor future studies on long-term effects of assisted reproductive technologies on the health and productivity of animals in Ethiopia. Implement rigorous monitoring and evaluation programs to assess the long-term health, welfare, and productivity outcomes of animals produced through ART. Utilize comprehensive datasets to track indicators such as disease incidence, reproductive performance, growth rates, and longevity over multiple generations. Develop evidence-based guidelines and regulations governing the ethical and responsible use of ART in animal breeding programs. Establish standards for the welfare, monitoring, and management of animals produced through reproductive technologies to ensure compliance with ethical principles and animal welfare standards.

The current study was aimed to explore the effects of two priming treatments, Nano-Priming (NP) and Magneto-Priming (MP) on improving the drought tolerance potential in wheat. Study revealed increase in germination efficiency in both the priming treatments compared to control Unprimed (UP) seeds. NP seeds exhibited a significant improvement in parameters such as germination percentage, seedling length, and seedling vigor when compared to both MP and UP seeds. The impact of Drought Stress (DS) on photosynthetic efficiency measured using Chl a fluorescence parameters, revealed a drastic reduction in the number of active Reaction Centers (RC) per chlorophyll molecule, performance of water splitting complex at donor side of PSII (Fv/Fo) and plant Performance Index (PI) in UP and MP plants wheat plants. However, NP+DS plants seemed to have improved the efficiency of primary photochemistry of PSII by showing significantly lesser reduction in these parameters under DS, ultimately resulting in better growth. Furthermore, the investigation of the oxidative status of plants revealed a reduction in the activity of antioxidant enzymes in NP + DS plants, potentially linked to reduced levels of reactive oxygen species production when compared to UP + DS plants. These findings suggest NP as an effective yet simple way for augmenting the drought tolerance potential in wheat.
Are Medical Records Truly Prepared for Malpractice Liability in Cases of Suicide?

The most common reason for a malpractice claim is suicide or attempted suicide. It is argued that suicide can be prevented if the danger is recognized and proper and timely treatment is provided. Failure to make an informed decision as to whether to admit an individual to a psychiatric unit generally constitutes the initial breach in a claim of negligence. The present study was designed to identify exactly what essential data was missing from files of completed suicides, using 39 medical case records of the risk-management files of the state-owned malpractice insurance company between 2004 and 2022 in Israel. We found that a great deal of important information was missing from those files (e.g., records of previous suicide attempts, documentation of disagreement between the emergency department and the patient as to whether the individual should be hospitalized, and information regarding a history or lack thereof of suicidal tendencies in the individuals immediate family). Our study demonstrates that lacking the proper documentation of vital patient history, allegations of negligence would be very difficult to disprove.

Published: April 2024

In the past decades, Hungarian critics, researchers, teachers acting in the universe of literature have learned to respect Theory. In the academic world and in elite criticism, theoretical reason has gained substantive importance, poststructuralist catechism has guided understanding as an indispensable guide, and it has seemed self-evident that the path to authentic literary understanding leads through theory. Under these circumstances, a multi-perspective, reflective examination of theory and an account of its problematic aspects have not taken place. Yet, a similar debate had already taken place in American literary studies in the 1980s, and György Poszler’s 1988 monograph sharply criticized Hegel’s and György Lukács’s philosophical aesthetics. (Conservative philosophers Edmund Burke, Tamás Molnár, Roger Scruton, and others are also distrustful of system creation and consider as problematic those attitudes of thought that “can only accept answers formulated within the framework of an elaborate system.”) It is also timely to open a debate on the validity of understanding the “Big Theoretical Bang”. All the more so because several internationally renowned European and American philosophers, linguists, and literary scholars (René Wellek, M. H. Abrams, Tzvetan Todorov, John Searle, Geoffrey Galt Harpham, Roy Harris, Martha Nussbaum) have contributed comprehensive perspectives to criticism. The lecture will first build on their well-established critical perspectives, then will also discuss the spread of poststructuralism in Hungary, and finally, reflecting on the raison d’être of Theory and literary theory, it will evoke endeavours of literary theory which seek to preserve moderation and prudence as fundamental values, to avoid substantive fixations, to transcend one-sided confrontations and strive for a verifying criticism of concepts, while they attempt at unifying deduction with induction, and regard the task, function, and vocation of theory as assisting the understanding of literature.

At the end of the 18th century, the gates of Europe opened up and offered new ways and opportunities to those who wanted to get to know the culture: significant pilgrimage routes led both north-west and south, thanks to which dozens of students got to know new cultural and philosophical phenomena, such as Freemasonry, Arcadian-circles, the development of indigenous literature, or the collection of folk tales, the promotion of folk culture into discourse. In my presentation, I will present a micro-example, through the scientific and cultural transfers of the city of Eger, how the currents of ideas coming from outside influenced the life of a patron, Károly Eszterházy, the structure and the curriculum of a university, the cultural life of the city, and based on these, what traces can be observed in the literary life that is currently being redefined, in our linguistic and literary conceptual system (mainly thanks to Sámuel Pápay’s literary work), or in the creation of new mythologies – closely related to folk tales.

The Christmas Pig is a children’s novel for children aged 8 and up, the first by J. K. Rowling since the publication of the last Harry Potter novel, and one of the bestsellers of Christmas 2021. The Hungarian translation, also published in 2021, is the work of Tamás Boldizsár Tóth, also known as “Rowling’s Hungarian voice”. In my presentation, I will explore the forms of intertextuality in the novel, the Genettian transtextuality, how this children’s novel incorporates traces of various ancient and medieval genres, how it engages in dialogue with some works of the world literary canon, and how this web of intertextual relations connects the children’s novel with major works of world literature. The children’s novel, whose hypotexts were world literature texts and genres, can itself become a hypotext in the process of reading: it can make texts belonging to the canon accessible to the future reader. Jack, The Pig and Christmas Pig’s story opens a gateway to the travels of Odysseus and Aeneas in the underworld, to the medieval moralities, to Dante’s Divine Comedy, to the of Christian saints and knights harrowing of hell, to Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, to E. T. A. Hoffmann’s (and of course Tchaikovsky’s) Nutcracker and The Mouse King.

Authors: Azah Taibu , Tarabinah Wilfred , Adeyemo David
Published: April 2024

This study sought to establish the level of performance appraisal in selected local governments, eastern Uganda. This was mainly focused on the level of regularly reviewing of employee’s job performance and overall contribution to the local government. This was achieved through employment of largely quantitative methods using descriptive, cross-sectional and survey designs on a sample size of 336 civil servants who included CAOs, HRMs and personnel officers and Heads of Departments among others. Results revealed that Performance appraisal had remained at the routine level. It was still perceived negatively. Moreover, it was not autonomously driven by the local governments, it was more or less a requirement by the Central Government. This study recommends training of managers on how to evaluate workers based on their performance against established criteria; and Local Governments should be allowed to develop their performance appraisal system which suites their situation and provides an easy way of feedback instead of the current one.

In India, domestic animals are vital contributors to the country's economy, serving as a significant source of income for farmers and fulfilling various work and service roles. Keeping these animals safe and healthy in their shelters is really important because they mean a lot to farmers. Livestock farming faces big challenges, especially when it's raining, because bad weather can make the animals sick and less productive, causing problems like hoof issues.This project proposes an affordable shelter solution for Indian livestock, integrating IoT and machine learning to monitor environmental conditions. Sensors track temperature, humidity, gas levels, and soil moisture, with data analysed using the Arduino IDE and K means algorithm. Through predictive analysis, the system detects potential abnormalities like high temperatures, excessive humidity, elevated soil moisture, or the presence of harmful gases within the shelter. The predictive analysis also identifies specific stress conditions, such as heat stress from high temperatures, cold stress because, the temperature drops below the lower critical temperature, hoof diseases caused by increased soil moisture, and respiratory issues from harmful gas presence. Timely notifications are sent to user upon identifying such irregularities, enabling prompt interventions to mitigate health risks and improve herd welfare and productivity

Our educational institution maintains digital records of student data to ensure ease of access and management. However, these records are currently dispersed across various formats, posing challenges in maintenance, especially with the growing student population. This fragmentation often results in redundant data entry and inconsistencies, as students are required to repeatedly provide the same information. In response, we propose the development of a comprehensive web application designed to function as an integrated platform for aggregating and categorizing student data. This platform aims to consolidate all student-provided information into a centralized repository, which can then be categorized and selectively accessed by different user types according to their respective needs. Additionally, the web application will empower students to effortlessly update their information while facilitating efficient retrieval of selected student data by college staff. Moreover, it will streamline the online admission process by offering the option of online payment through a secure payment gateway. Furthermore, the application will include features for recording student marks in their respective courses, as well as tracking attendance. It will also inform students of new placement opportunities offered by the college and maintain records of faculty and departments. Additionally, it will log online transactions conducted by students during the admission process. The development of this application will utilize HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the front-end, ensuring an intuitive and visually appealing user interface. On the backend, PHP and MySQL will be employed to provide robust data management and processing capabilities
