GHG Policies in Maritime Transport: A Comparative Analysis using Cost-Effectiveness and Multi-Criteria Analysis
Authors: Garcia Renata de Marsillac , de Marsillac Cristiane Elia , Pereda Paula Carvalho , Lucchesi Andrea , Caprace Jean-David
Published: August 2024

Maritime transport accounts for approximately 3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with the sector aiming to achieve net zero by or around i.e. close 2050. There has been intense debate on medium-term measures that combine regulatory frameworks with financial incentives or economic penalties. Among the main proposals under discussion are a GHG levy, two flexible mechanisms (FCMs) based on the GHG Fuel Intensity (GFI) and a feebate. Despite extensive discussions on carbon levies, there is a notable lack of studies comparing the cost-effectiveness of these different GHG reduction measures in the maritime sector. This study aims to fill this gap by developing a comprehensive methodology to evaluate and compare these GHG policies. Using cost-effectiveness and multi-criterion decision analysis (MCDA), the study assesses the technical feasibility, economic implications, and environmental benefits of the proposed measures. The main quantitative results reveal that a GHG levy starting at $100 per ton of CO2 doubles fuel costs, while new fuels become economically attractive only after 2040 under the feebate mechanism. Both original and revised FCM proposals show similar cost patterns, with the revised FCM leading to earlier adoption of new fuels. We find that the FCMs and the carbon levy are effective in achieving the IMO's final and intermediate targets. However, FCMs are the most cost-effective proposals, achieving targets with the lowest present value of costs and the cost per avoided GHG emissions. The proposed methodology provides a robust framework for facilitating objective and structured discussions with stakeholders, helping to balance economic and environmental goals in maritime policymaking.

The article deals with the issue of fire safety in maternity hospitals, taking into account the specifics of patients (laboring women). The behaviour of pregnant and postpartum women and the fire safety requirements in terms of their vulnerability are considered. The article shows the dynamics of the number of fires and their causes in maternity hospitals in Russia for 2018-2022. It was found that when evacuating a building in the event of a fire, pregnant women experience difficulties due to stress and their psychological state. It is proposed to take additional measures to ensure the safety of pregnant or postpartum women and their newborn children in maternity hospitals in the emergency situation such as fires. The overall safety of patients in maternity hospitals should be a priority for any healthcare facility.

The study of relationships between zoocompost containing humic acids and metal ions is of great importance not only for predicting the redistribution of humic compounds and heavy metals in the environment, but also for developing methods for controlling the processes of migration of pollutants in natural environments, creating new materials for protecting the environment and remediating soils contaminated with heavy metal ions. The article compares the sorption capacity of zoocompost cultivated by the Black Lionfly fly, containing humic acids and to Zn2+, Cd2+, Cu2+ ions. It was established that with an increase in the dose of zoocompost, the concentration of heavy metal ions in the solution decreases and the cleaning efficiency reaches 94.6% for Cd2+, 75.2% for Zn2+ and 70.4% for Cu2+. A comparison of the stability constants of complex ions of cadmium, zinc and copper showed that more stable metal-humic acid complexes are formed by Cd2+ and Zn2+, while Cu2+ is characterized by a lower degree of connectivity. The obtained sorption isotherms and values of the sorption capacity of zoocompost for Cd2+ (0.490 mmol/g), Zn2+ (0.225 mmol/g) and Cu2+ (0.145 mmol/g) indicate the specific interaction between the heavy metal ions and functional groups of humic acids included in the composition of zoocompost, and also confirm the theoretical series of stability of chelates Cd < Zn < Cu.
Understanding the seasonal variations in access to improved water sources in Ghana: A call to action for policymakers
Authors: Achore Meshack
Published: August 2024

Although studies have explored the link between seasonal change in water sources and health, there is limited evidence on the psycho-emotional impact of seasonal shifts in primary water sources, particularly in a country with two different ecological zones. The primary water source for each participating household was categorized by season, and overall changes in water sources and seasonality were explored using Fisher's exact test and Pearson chi-square test. Regarding seasonal changes, 90.3% of the study participants use safely managed water sources across the seasons. Only 7.4% (45) of households switched from safely managed water sources in the dry season to limited sources in the wet season. Similarly, 2% (12) of participants switched from safely managed water sources in the dry season to unimproved water sources in the wet season. The Chi-square test indicates a significant association between emotional distress and the type of water source used in the dry (χ2 = 35.6, df = 3, p = 0.00) and wet (χ2 = 37.8, df = 3, p = 0.00) seasons. Future interventions that aim to increase access to and use of safe drinking water must consider seasonality and climate change and develop infrastructure accordingly.
A comparison of intense rainfall characteristics and mechanisms between monsoon onset and retreat over the Yangtze River Basin
Authors: Li Jiaxue , Wu Yanjuan , Birch Cathryn , Schwendike Juliane , Graham Ailish , Berry Gareth
Published: August 2024

The thermodynamic and convective characteristics of the seasonal progression of the monsoon over eastern China are examined, with the aim of understanding why regional heavy rainfall events (RHREs) over the Yangtze River Basin (YRB) are more frequent and intense during the monsoon progression from mid-June to mid-July than during the retreat from mid-August to mid-September. During the monsoon progression, the southerly monsoon flow at low and mid-levels intensifies and moves northward, while the Western Pacific subtropical high shifts northeastward. These changes result in enhanced moisture advection over eastern China. The stronger southerly flow brings warmer and moist air into the YRB, leading to a higher equivalent potential temperature (θE) and favouring convection. Conversely, during the monsoon retreat, the northerly flow becomes stronger and drier, causing lower θE air over the YRB. Additionally, as the Western Pacific subtropical anticyclone retreats, easterly prevailing winds prevail over eastern China, causing reduced specific humidity. The monsoon progression period exhibits higher convective available potential energy but also higher convective inhibition, which is overcome by the presence of the monsoon front providing sufficient dynamical uplift. Understanding the severity of RHREs, particularly over the YRB, is crucial for improving forecasting capabilities and reducing societal vulnerability.

Enquanto melhor estratégia para elucidação dos relatos, parto da presença do uso da máscara na relação de campo, enumerando as significações e as agências que este objeto foi assumindo na minha relação com os interlocutores e as situações causadas pela sua presença, assim como os dilemas éticos que este utensílio suscitou durante e após o trabalho de campo. Sendo assim, o artigo pretende discutir, a partir das reflexões trazidas, a (não) neutralidade da antropóloga, assim como questões referentes às formas de afetação que atravessaram o fazer pesquisa como a que foi feita neste período, marcado, principalmente, pelo fato de eu estar pesquisando a pandemia da Covid-19 enquanto a vivia.
Um estudo socioantropológico acerca da percepção
Authors: Ferreira Rodrigo , Lopes Lays
Published: August 2024

O artigo se debruça sobre as experiências corporais da interrupção do paladar e do olfato — anosmia — provocada em pessoas acometidas pelo SARS-CoV-2, contaminadas com Covid-19. Impactando o corpo, a anosmia apareceu como um dos sintomas mais característicos da Covid-19 em sua primeira onda e foi identificada em 86% das pessoas infectadas pelo novo coronavírus. A experiência da interrupção dos sentidos afetou as sensações corporais, mas também as pessoas considerando dois aspectos: I) o fato de que a ausência desses sentidos atestava a infecção pelo novo coronavírus e consequente ameaça à própria vida; II) a incerteza sobre o retorno à normalidade. O método empregado para a produção dos dados foi subdividido em duas etapas: a primeira, na finalidade de segmentar e localizar o objeto de estudo, partiu da aplicação de um questionário online disparado através das mídias digitais e rede de profissionais da pesquisa ligados aos autores. Desta etapa, foram coletadas 35 respostas; a segunda, foi explorada a jornada narrativa, a partir de um roteiro semiestruturado, de três pessoas que vivenciaram a interrupção dos sentidos olfato e paladar. No perfil dos entrevistados são comuns as características: ser da região Nordeste, não perderam parentes próximos para a Covid-19 até o momento da entrevista e possuem nível de escolaridade, pós-graduação. O choque aparece como categoria observada em quatro momentos de impacto com o novo coronavírus: I) o choque da informação, midiático; II) do contágio; III) da interrupção; IV) do retorno.
The Roles and Application of Protein Modeling in Biomedical Research
Authors: Ng Chong Lee , Lee Tze Yin , Zulkfli Nur Naili Irsyada Binti , Lim Theam Soon , Choong Yee Siew
Published: August 2024

In all living organisms, proteins carry out essential biological processes. The
biological function of a protein depends on the building blocks of amino acids that fold
into three-dimensional architecture. Understanding the protein structure-function
relationship will, therefore, allow the generation of hypotheses on how to inhibit,
control, or modify protein for better use in biomedical research, especially when
dealing with emerging infectious diseases. Due to the exponential growth of protein
sequence data but not the structural data, protein modeling thus provides an alternative
approach to shed some light on the structure of a protein. Protein modeling has the
advantage of solving the protein structure as it is relatively faster and cost-effective
than experimental means. With the availability of the structural information of a
protein, the function of the protein can be further understood. Hence, rational
engineering or protein design with improved functionality can be performed and can be
useful in biomedical research. This highlights the increasing importance of protein
modeling in biomedical studies. This chapter provides a brief overview of existing
protein modeling techniques. The applications of protein modeling in recent biomedical
research are also summarized here.

Published: August 2024

A patient’s journey into endocrinology is shaped by a welcoming note on the examination table, symbolizing compassionate care and easing anxiety. The doctor’s collaborative demeanour, characterised by attentive engagement and openness to new ideas, fosters a partnership based on trust. This perspective encourages medical professionals to embrace humility, curiosity, and mutual respect, enhancing healthcare experiences and outcomes. Such practices require no significant investment but yield profound benefits in building equitable doctor-patient relationships and improving overall healthcare quality.
Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory–Based Detection of Adverse Drug Reaction Posts Using Korean Social Networking Services Data: Deep Learning Approaches
Authors: Lee Chung-Chun , Lee Seunghee , Song Mi-Hwa , Kim Jong-Yeup , Lee Suehyun
Published: August 2024

Background

Social networking services (SNS) closely reflect the lives of individuals in modern society and generate large amounts of data. Previous studies have extracted drug information using relevant SNS data. In particular, it is important to detect adverse drug reactions (ADRs) early using drug surveillance systems. To this end, various deep learning methods have been used to analyze data in multiple languages in addition to English.

Objective

A cautionary drug that can cause ADRs in older patients was selected, and Korean SNS data containing this drug information were collected. Based on this information, we aimed to develop a deep learning model that classifies drug ADR posts based on a recurrent neural network.

Methods

In previous studies, ketoprofen, which has a high prescription frequency and, thus, was referred to the most in posts secured from SNS data, was selected as the target drug. Blog posts, café posts, and NAVER Q&A posts from 2005 to 2020 were collected from NAVER, a portal site containing drug-related information, and natural language processing techniques were applied to analyze data written in Korean. Posts containing highly relevant drug names and ADR word pairs were filtered through association analysis, and training data were generated through manual labeling tasks. Using the training data, an embedded layer of word2vec was formed, and a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) classification model was generated. Then, we evaluated the area under the curve with other machine learning models. In addition, the entire process was further verified using the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug aceclofenac.

Results

Among the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Korean SNS posts containing information on ketoprofen and aceclofenac were secured, and the generic name lexicon, ADR lexicon, and Korean stop word lexicon were generated. In addition, to improve the accuracy of the classification model, an embedding layer was created considering the association between the drug name and the ADR word. In the ADR post classification test, ketoprofen and aceclofenac achieved 85% and 80% accuracy, respectively.

Conclusions

Here, we propose a process for developing a model for classifying ADR posts using SNS data. After analyzing drug name-ADR patterns, we filtered high-quality data by extracting posts, including known ADR words based on the analysis. Based on these data, we developed a model that classifies ADR posts. This confirmed that a model that can leverage social data to monitor ADRs automatically is feasible.
Spatiotemporal Changes and Influencing Factors of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease in Guangzhou, China, From 2013 to 2022: Retrospective Analysis
Authors: Liu Jiaojiao , Wang Hui , Zhong Siyi , Zhang Xiao , Wu Qilin , Luo Haipeng , Luo Lei , Zhang Zhoubin
Published: August 2024

Background

In the past 10 years, the number of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) cases reported in Guangzhou, China, has averaged about 60,000 per year. It is necessary to conduct an in-depth analysis to understand the epidemiological pattern and related influencing factors of HFMD in this region.

Objective

This study aims to describe the epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal distribution of HFMD cases in Guangzhou from 2013 to 2022 and explore the relationship between sociodemographic factors and HFMD incidence.

Methods

The data of HFMD cases in Guangzhou come from the Infectious Disease Information Management System of the Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Spatial analysis and space-time scan statistics were used to visualize the spatiotemporal distribution of HFMD cases. Multifactor ordinary minimum regression model, geographically weighted regression, and geographically and temporally weighted regression were used to analyze the influencing factors, including population, economy, education, and medical care.

Results

From 2013 to 2022, a total of 599,353 HFMD cases were reported in Guangzhou, with an average annual incidence rate of 403.62/100,000. Children aged 5 years and younger accounted for 93.64% (561,218/599,353) of all cases. HFMD cases showed obvious bimodal distribution characteristics, with the peak period from May to July and the secondary peak period from August to October. HFMDs in Guangzhou exhibited a spatial aggregation trend, with the central urban area showing a pattern of low-low aggregation and the peripheral urban area demonstrating high-high aggregation. High-risk areas showed a dynamic trend of shifting from the west to the east of peripheral urban areas, with coverage first increasing and then decreasing. The geographically and temporally weighted regression model results indicated that population density (β=−0.016) and average annual income of employees (β=−0.007) were protective factors for HFMD incidence, while the average number of students in each primary school (β=1.416) and kindergarten (β=0.412) was a risk factor.

Conclusions

HFMD cases in Guangzhou were mainly infants and young children, and there were obvious differences in time and space. HFMD is highly prevalent in summer and autumn, and peripheral urban areas were identified as high-risk areas. Improving the economic level of peripheral urban areas and reducing the number of students in preschool education institutions are key strategies to controlling HFMD.

Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

quality of life (QOL) is an important aspect of every chronic disease, including interstitial lung disease (ILD). Data regarding quality of life and its various aspects in ILD other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), is scarce.

OBJECTIVE

to identify determinants of quality of life57 participants were recruited, including 22 with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs), 19 with connective tissue associated ILD (CTD-ILDs) and 16 with interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF). To assess QOL Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and World Health Organization QOL questionnaire abbreviated version (WHOQOL-BREF) and depression questionnaires; (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale — Modified Version; HADS-M, Patient Health Questionnaire 9; PHQ-9) were analyzed. Functional parameters including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), transfer lung capacity for carbon monoxide (TLCO) and activity capacity expressed as 6 minute walk test distance (6MWD)were assessed. in patients with ILD

METHODS

57 participants were recruited, including 22 with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs), 19 with connective tissue associated ILD (CTD-ILDs) and 16 with interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF). To assess QOL Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and World Health Organization QOL questionnaire abbreviated version (WHOQOL-BREF) and depression questionnaires; (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale — Modified Version; HADS-M, Patient Health Questionnaire 9; PHQ-9) were analyzed. Functional parameters including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), transfer lung capacity for carbon monoxide (TLCO) and activity capacity expressed as 6 minute walk test distance (6MWD)were assessed.

RESULTS

a moderate positive correlation was found in each group between FEV1 pred. v. and a weak positive correlation between TLCO pred.v. and WHOqolBREF physical domain score (p= 0.001 and p= 0.031, respectively). Regardless of diagnosis, higher depression, anxiety and aggression scores correlated negatively with multiple domains of QOL measured by WHOqolBREF. Predictors of QOL aspects varied in each group.
In IPAF group, a predictor of QOL expressed as SGRQ total score was TLCO % pred. v. (p=0.005). In CTD-ILD group, short 6MWT and high HADS-M aggression score were correlated with low QOL (high total SGRQ) – p=<0.001 and p=0,.012, respectively. In IIP group, two predictors for SGRQ symptoms scores were revealed: 6MWD (p=0.002) and PHQ-9 score (p= <0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

QOL is a multifaceted issue. 6MWT distance, TLCO pred. v. and worse functional ability might specifically impact QoL in ILD.

Published: August 2024

Cuando los gobiernos locales emprenden acciones buscando la sustentabilidad de las ciudades, comienzan por enfrentarse al reto de generar estrategias que permitan llevar a cabo la comunicación efectiva entre los distintos agentes que forman parte de la cotidianidad urbana y la administración pública, un desafío que implica la construcción de mecanismos y herramientas que permitan la captura y flujo de información con su respectiva retroalimentación entre ciudadanía e instituciones públicas.
El presente trabajo de investigación postula como objetivo distinguir a la encuesta como una herramienta trascendental para la formulación y diseño de estrategias para la implementación de políticas públicas que coadyuven a la sustentabilidad de las ciudades. Se ha identificado que, la encuesta, además de fungir como un instrumento de captura en donde se recopila información de opinión ciudadana, cuando se emplea con un sistema cifrado de respuestas en escala tipo Likert es posible trabajar un modelo de Análisis de Componentes Principales (ACP), para agrupar datos e identificar relaciones causales sobre la influencia de ciertos fenómenos de desarrollo urbano en el equilibrio sustentable, condición que consolida a la encuesta como un sólido argumento operativo en la toma de decisiones, mismas que deben encontrar eco en la retroalimentación del sistema de información urbano y actividades gubernamentales.
La experimentación se llevó a cabo en la ciudad de Morelia, con una temporalidad 2023 y empleando el marco normativo -metas e indicadores- del ODS 11. Ciudades y comunidades sostenibles de la Agenda 2030. Se implementó una encuesta en donde se cuestiona a la ciudadanía sobre los fenómenos que suceden en la ciudad y de forma indirecta se postuló que, al mismo tiempo, este sistema de respuestas califica el desempeño de las dependencias de gobierno, condición que permite a partir de los resultados de ACP elaborar una estrategia operativa para conjuntar esfuerzos entre determinadas instituciones y ejecutar acciones en conjunto para buscar el equilibrio sustentable de la ciudad.
Estimación de la intención de voto a nivel municipal: modelo MRP en las elecciones del Edomex 2023
Authors: Pérez García Daniel , Castro Cornejo Rodrigo
Published: August 2024

Este artículo estudia la campaña electoral de 2023 para elegir al gobernador del Estado de México, con un enfoque en la importancia del nivel local de las elecciones. A pesar de que las encuestas electorales tradicionales solo proporcionaron información a nivel estatal, este estudio ofrece estimaciones detalladas de la intención de voto por municipio por medio de un modelo MRP. Utilizando un modelo multinivel con post estratificación (MRP), se generaron estimados de la intención de voto para cada candidata en los 125 municipios del Edomex. Los resultados muestran una competencia heterogénea, reflejando cambios significativos en la dinámica electoral, particularmente en regiones históricamente dominadas por un partido político. Además, se evaluó la precisión del modelo en comparación con los resultados reales de la elección, demostrando una alta correlación. Se discute la relevancia de permitir la divulgación de encuestas en los días previos a la elección para mejorar la calidad de la información disponible para los votantes y candidatos.
Exactitud de las encuestas para las elecciones de gubernaturas en México según modo de aproximación (2021-2023)
Authors: De la Peña Ricardo
Published: August 2024

En este texto se revisa la exactitud de las estimaciones producto de encuestas publicadas en fecha próxima a las elecciones para las gubernaturas en México celebradas de 2021 a 2023 según los distintos modos de aproximación de los que actualmente se dispone.
La primera parte del ensayo se destina a la exposición de las características de los indicadores convencionalmente más usados para medir la exactitud de los estudios demoscópicos de carácter cuantitativo orientados a la medición de las preferencias electorales previas a unos comicios, así como de indicadores que pudieran ser más correctos y eficientes desde un punto de vista teórico-metodológico para la medición de fenómeno. 
Una vez expuestos los estimadores tradicionales y aquellos que metodológicamente resultan ser más correctos y eficientes para medir la exactitud de las encuestas, se efectúa un cotejo entre lo previsto por los ejercicios hechos públicos en el periodo de referencia contra los resultados electorales, diferenciando los datos según el modo de aproximación empleado.
Las principales limitaciones del ejercicio es su carácter casuístico, por lo que las conclusiones a las se arriba solo pueden ser considerados como evidencia circunstancial y de ninguna manera definitiva sobre el fenómeno bajo estudio. Su originalidad, sin embargo, radica en que el cotejo de diferencias según modo de aproximación no suele ser el método usado para el análisis de la exactitud de las encuestas, a pesar de su eventual relevancia.
Esto se constata al observar que, como resultado del ejercicio de estimación de la exactitud de las encuestas, se encuentra que esta exactitud sí depende del modo de aproximación que se emplee para su realización.

Cleft lip and cleft palate (CLP) is the most common craniofacial anomaly worldwide and can influence maxillary growth, leading to midface hypoplasia. Various therapies are proposed for managing this condition, including orthodontic interventions, conventional orthognathic surgery (CO), and/or distraction osteogenesis (DO) to achieve functional and aesthetic outcomes and improve the quality of life for affected individuals. This is an integrative literature review on orthognathic surgery as a surgical approach to address secondary clinical features in patients with cleft lip and palate. The research was conducted using databases such as Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed (MEDLINE), Lilacs, and SciElo, with indexed descriptors from DeCS/MeSH, considering studies published between 2019 and 2024 in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Based on preliminary analysis, 26 articles were selected for full reading, including primary studies and reference books on the topic. Ultimately, 13 studies were included due to their relevance to the research focus. It is concluded that the use of CO and DO techniques is effective for the surgical management of cleft patients, necessitating surgical planning and evaluation of the effects of different surgeries on CLP patients.

The Pierre Robin sequence is defined as a congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of glossoptosis, micrognathia, and airway obstruction, leading to various complications. Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) emerges as a surgical treatment option that has been yielding positive results for individuals with Pierre Robin sequence (PRS), directly addressing craniofacial correction, aiming for improved respiratory quality, and enabling adequate mandibular elongation. This study aims to evaluate mandibular distraction osteogenesis and its efficacy in patients with PRS. The literature search encompassed PubMed, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, and the Scientific Electronic Library Online, using the DeCS descriptors: "Pierre Robin Syndrome" AND "Distraction Osteogenesis" AND "Micrognathism". Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of MDO as a therapeutic approach to correcting respiratory and feeding problems, with the FEMOD protocol showing promise in improving upper airways and correcting micrognathia. Although studies point to MDO as a good solution for treating mandibular retrognathia in PRS patients, further research is still needed to validate results, compare different treatment approaches, assess long-term surgery effects, and identify potential late complications. This underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to treating these patients.

The beginning of facial development occurs between the fourth and eighth week of gestation, during this period the cells of the neural crest migrate, forming the four pharyngeal arches that will provide the emergence of most of the structures of the head and neck. During this process, failures may occur such as: epithelial disintegration, absence of fusion, genetic mutations, prognatism or retrognatism, among other factors that cause the appearance of asymmetries in the bones of the face and soft tissues. Aiming at this perspective, the buccal-maxillofacial surgical procedures such as: the treatment of cleft lip and palate, the possibility of bone or alloplastic grafting, in regions of deficit or that have suffered some type of facial trauma, and orthognathic surgery, a theme that will be addressed in this article, have emerged as a new possibility of definitive and resolutive treatment, generating aesthetic harmony and quality of life to the treated patients.

The prediction of malicious nodes in Internet of Things (IoT) networks is crucial for enhancing network security. Malicious nodes can significantly impact network performance across various scenarios. Machine learning (ML) classification algorithms provide binary outcomes ("yes" or "no") to accurately identify these nodes. This study implements various classifier algorithms to address the problem of malicious node classification, using the “SensorNetGuard” dataset. The dataset, comprising 10,000 records with 21 features, was preprocessed and used to train multiple ML models, including Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Naive Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Performance evaluation of these models followed the ML workflow, utilizing Python libraries such as scikit-learn, Seaborn, Matplotlib, and Pandas. The results indicated that the Naive Bayes classifier outperformed others with an accuracy of 98.1%. This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of ML classifiers in detecting malicious nodes in IoT networks, providing a robust predictive model for real-time application. The “SensorNetGuard” dataset is available on the IEEE data port and Kaggle platform.

Authors: Agudelo Agudelo Edwin Hernando
Published: August 2024

Este trabajo busca caracterizar la divulgación científica, en revistas académicas destacadas entre los años 2001 y 2020, sobre las formas de comunicación de la población estudiantil en situación de discapacidad. Para el análisis de la información se utilizaron mapas y redes de cocitaciones propios de la bibliometría científica. Con esto, se organizó la revisión a partir de tres categorías: la inclusión educativa, la comunicación y la comunicación dialógica. Los resultados muestran que Inglaterra, Estados Unidos y España aportan el 32,21 % de publicaciones sobre el tema, siendo este último el único país hispanohablante de la lista, lo que indica que la ciencia en este campo se comunica principalmente en inglés y que es limitada la diversidad idiomática del conocimiento en cuanto a las formas de comunicación de la población estudiantil en situación de discapacidad. Ningún país latinoamericano se encuentra en el listado de producción científica de alto impacto en este campo. Finalmente, se hace una reflexión sobre la ausencia de investigaciones, desde la ruralidad, con respecto al objeto de estudio, y se concluye sobre la necesidad de ampliar este tema en América Latina a partir de la promoción de líneas que aborden la discapacidad y la inclusión con enfoque territorial. Este artículo hace parte de la revisión sistemática de la tesis doctoral titulada Modelo de comunicación dialógica para el fortalecimiento de la educación inclusiva: el caso de instituciones educativas públicas de Cúcuta, Norte de Santander, Colombia.
Reassessing State Responsibility for Indigenous Rights to Natural Resources Based on Justice Principle
Authors: Soelistyowati Soelistyowati
Published: August 2024

Indigenous peoples' existence is intrinsically linked to their customary rights, with significant disputes arising over the formal recognition of these rights. However, conditional or partial legal recognition frequently disadvantages indigenous communities. The state has a responsibility to uphold the rights of indigenous peoples, necessitating regulations that effectively safeguard their land rights. This article examines the recognition and fulfilment of indigenous peoples’ rights to natural resources through legal analysis, conceptual frameworks, and case studies. The findings indicate that since 1998, there has been a governmental intent to formally recognize indigenous rights to natural resources, as reflected in various laws and regulations. However, the implementation of these rights has been challenging due to ambiguities in the 1945 Constitution and the related regulations. Effective fulfilment of Indigenous land rights must adhere to key principles, including recognition of jurisdictional areas, the right to self-determination, Indigenous consent, community involvement, and the provision of fair compensation

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly lethal global disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which has affected approximately a quarter of the world's population. Ascorbic acid is acknowledged for its strong antioxidant properties, its ability to modulate the immune system, and its effectiveness against Mtb infections. Method: Literature search based on specific keywords following the PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) research question was carried out on Pubmed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases, as well as Garuda for clinical research in Indonesia. The flow of the literature search followed PRISMA and risk of bias analysis using the Rob2 tool. Discussion: Laboratory studies have shown that ascorbic acid, whether given by itself or in conjunction with standard anti-TB medications, can decrease the quantity of Mtb colony-forming units (CFU). Similar outcomes were witnessed in experiments conducted with mice. The administration of ascorbic acid to mice infected with Mtb also led to a reduction in lung tissue damage. Clinical trials carried out in Indonesia demonstrated that the addition of ascorbic acid resulted in a greater sputum conversion rate in comparison to patients who did not receive this supplementation. Conclusion:  Ascorbic acid exhibits several clinical attributes that prove beneficial in the management of TB.
