Published: February 2023

The cross-border status of Transcarpathia, its multiethnicity is reflected in various spheres of life, including mass communication activities. The article actualizes the issue of the functioning of online media of the ethnic communities in the westernmost region of Ukraine in the context of the development of multicultural information space in the structure of the Ukrainian national media field. The role of ethnic media in informing and supporting traditions and customs, preservation of ethnic consciousness and cultural diversity is emphasized. Special attention is paid to the ethno-national aspect of communication and the important role of Transcarpathian media in the development of native-language communication, which is represented by a wide range of ethnic media (Hungarian, Slovak, Romanian, Roma, German, Jewish, etc.). The model of multicultural communication developed in Transcarpathia contributes to the development, including civic identity, a sense of social responsibility for everything that happens in the country, and encourages the local journalistic community to cultivate tolerance, prevent interethnic conflicts, and counter information threats. Taking into account the complete implementation of the functions of Transcarpathian intercultural communication, the degree of effectiveness of their activities, the article also notes crisis processes in the modern media sphere of Transcarpathia. Some of them are caused by foreign policy circumstances, the war with Russia and informational aggression, problems of intergovernmental interaction, and therefore require special attention, correctness, and competence of journalists. Moreover, the issues of interethnic relations (especially in the educational and linguistic spheres) are strategic, related to national security, harmonious relations between Ukraine and neighboring Western states. Meanwhile, the online media of Transcarpathian ethnic groups are actively integrated into the intercultural communication system, occupying and maintaining their own segment in it.
From Artificial Intelligence to Artificial Consciousness: An Interior Design Implication
Authors: Mahendarto Trias
Published: February 2023

Artificial Intelligence continues to develop rapidly and provokes people to think about Artificial consciousness. Anthropocentric understanding considers consciousness a unique feature of human beings not possessed by other living beings. However, software and hardware development demonstrated the ability to process, analyze, and infer increasingly comprehensive data close to the image of human brain performance. Furthermore, the application of artificial Intelligence to human-friendly objects that can communicate with humans evokes the presence of consciousness within these objects. This paper discusses the presence of artificial consciousness in humanoid robots as an evolutionary continuation of artificial Intelligence. It estimates its implications for architecture, primarily within interior design. Consciousness has a special place in architecture, as it guides Intelligence in engineering and brings it to an abstract level, such as aesthetics. This paper extracts popular information from Internet conversations and theories in pre-existing scientific journals. This paper concludes that the adaptability of both parties and the balance of positions between the two parties in the future will influence the development of interior design approaches that will integrate artificial Intelligence and humans.

Authors: Kamal Chra Ali , Atiyah Manal Ali
Published: February 2023

Today, diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world due to the people’s sedentary lifestyle which led to many health issues like heart attack, kidney frailer and blindness. Additionally, most of the people are unrealizable about the early-stage diabetes symptoms to prevent it. The above reasons were encouraging to develop a diabetes prediction system using machine learning techniques. The Pima Indian Diabetes Dataset (PIDD) was utilized for this framework as it is common and appropriate dataset in .CSV format. While there were not any duplicate or null values, however, some zero values were replaced, four outlier records were removed and data standardization were performed in the dataset. In addition, this project methodology divided into two phases of model selection. In the first phase, two different hyper parameter techniques (Randomized Search and TPOT(autoML)) were used to increase the accuracy level for each algorithm. Then six different algorithms (Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, K-nearest neighbor, Support Vector Machine and Naïve Bayes) were applied. In the second phase, the four best performed algorithms (with best estimated parameters for each of them) were chosen and used as an input for the voting classifier, because it applies to find the best algorithm between a group of multiple options.  The result was satisfying, and Random Forest was achieved 98.69% in second stage, while its accuracy level was 81.04% in the previous one and it utilized to predict diabetes via a simple graphic user interface.

Published: February 2023

There are several disease kinds in global populations that may be related to human lifestyles, social, genetic, economic, and other factors related to the nature of the country they live in. Most of the recent studies have focused on investigating prevalent diseases that spread in the population in order to minimize mortality risks, choose the best method for treatment, and improve community healthcare. Kidney disease is one of the most widespread health problems in modern society. This study focuses on kidney stones, cysts, and tumors, the three most common types of renal illness, using a dataset of 12,446 CT urogram and whole abdomen images, aiming to move toward an AI-based kidney disease diagnosis system while contributing to the wider field of artificial intelligence research. In this study, a hybrid technique is used by utilizing both pre-train models for feature extraction and classification using machine learning algorithms for the task of kidney disease image diagnosis. The pre-trained model used in this study is the Densenet-201 model. As well as using Random Forest for classification, the Densenet-201-Random-Forest approach has outperformed many of the previous models used in other studies, having an accuracy rate of 99.719 percent.

Authors: Salih Dashne Abdulla , Karim Karim Jalal
Published: February 2023

Spermatogenesis and male phenotypic development during puberty are mainly done by androgen and their function is regulated by the androgen receptor (AR) gene. This gene has a polymorphism site in Exon1 which encode androgen receptor and have various length of CAG trinucleotide repeat which causes the production of polyglutamine chain in different length of the N-terminal domain of AR protein which reduces producing sperm by disrupting spermatogenesis.

The aim is to determine the relation of infertility in male with the increased frequency of CAG repeats in the AR gene, and the correlation between CAG repetition and hormonal changes.

The case-control research was carried out in the Immunogene center and IVF center in the maternity teaching hospital Erbil-Kurdistan region-Iraq. The convenience sample included 50 men, 30 infertile and 20 fertile over one year starting from March 2021 to March 2022. 

Men with infertility had CAG repeats in their AR gene, ranging from (17-26) repeats, with a mean (21.3 ±0.16). In infertile men, CAG expansion was longer than the fertile men. The motility and normal morphology of sperm in infertile men have negative relation while sperm count and concentration have a positive relation with CAG expansion. The relation of hormones (Testosterone, LH, and FSH) with CAG repetition was statistically not significant.

In conclusion, CAG expansion was longer in infertile (case) men compared with fertile (control) men. Polyglutamine effect on increasing sperm abnormal morphology and immotility which is the reason for infertility but statistically not significant and it will not affect hormonal assay in infertile men.

Published: February 2023

Improving education in the 4.0 era needs to be adjusted to the teaching and learning in higher education. Thus, it is necessary to have a learning strategy that prioritizes student independence in learning by using facilities in the digital era such as the internet. Therefore, SOLE can be one of the strategies that are in accordance with this 4.0 education.  The purpose of this study was to find out the effectiveness of SOLE for apprentices in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. In this study, we used quasi-experimental studies conducted through pre-test and post-test on study subjects as primary data for the study. The analysis showed a significant difference between students taught using SOLE and conventional methods in English proficiency. The Wilcoxon test results prove that the two-sided asymptotic significance of the Wilcoxon test is 0.000 for experimental class, and 0.000 for control class which the Asymptotic significance 2-tailed below Alpha (0.05). It means that SOLE can be more effective than lecturing.

Kecemburuan umumnya dialami sebagian besar pasangan yang menjalin hubungan romantis. Kecemburuan dapat berfungsi sebagai sarana untuk mempertahankan cinta dan hubungan, beberapa orang mungkin juga menganggap kecemburuan sebagai ancaman bagi hubungan mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah ada hubungan antara kecemburuan romantis dengan kepuasan hubungan pada emerging adult yang sedang menjalani hubungan berpacaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan bersifat korelasional. Responden penelitian ini berjumlah 150 emerging adult usia 18-25 tahun yang berpacaran. Instrumen penelitian ini adalah Multidimensional Jealousy Scale (MJS) oleh Pfeiffer & Wong (1989) untuk mengukur kecemburuan romantis dan Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) oleh S.S. Hendrick (1988) untuk mengukur kepuasan hubungan romantis. Melalui teknik statistik Spearman correlation, ditemukan terdapat hubungan antara kecemburuan dengan kepuasan hubungan pada emerging adult yang berpacaran (r = -.338 p < .01), ditinjau dari dimensi kecemburuan romantis yaitu kognitif (r = -.363, p < .01) serta perilaku (r = -.258, p < .01) yang juga berkorelasi dengan kepuasan hubungan. Semakin tinggi kecemburuan emerging adult, semakin rendah kepuasan terhadap hubungan yang dijalaninya. Sedangkan dimensi emosi ditemukan tidak ada korelasi dengan kepuasan hubungan (r = .000, p > .01). Hasil temuan lain terkait dimensi kecemburuan serta kepuasan hubungan turut dibahas dalam penelitian ini.

This study was realized to evaluate the efficacy of dietary supplementation of sodium bicarbonate plus magnesium oxide "MgO", calcareous marine algae (AcidBuf) and essential oils (Actifor®Boost) on the animal performance and prevention of ruminal acidosis in goats moreover, evaluation the diagnostic accuracy of some biochemical parameters including blood pH, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), bicarbonate (HCO3-), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), beta-hydroxybutyric acid (βHBA) and plasma L-lactate versus ruminal pH in diagnosis of ruminal acidosis. A total of 30 goats were divided into five equal groups (G1-5) according to the type of dietary treatment. G1 served as a control group and fed the concentrate diet only, G2 fed the concentrate diet supplemented with 10 g Na bicarbonate plus 4g MgO, G3 supplemented with 4g AcidBuf, G4 supplemented with 10 g Na bicarbonate plus 4g MgO plus 4g AcidBuf and G5 supplemented with 1g Actifor® boost/head/day for five days. Tachycardia, tachypnea and decreased ruminal motility were recorded in G1 only. The ruminal pH tended to return to its toward normal for G3 and G4 with a mean of (6.3±0.03 and 6.3±0.01, respectively) which significantly higher than those of G1 and G2 (6.19±0.01 and 6.17±0.02 respectively). A significant increase in plasma L-lactate and a significant decrease in blood pH, HCO3-, pCO2, TAC, and βHBA were recorded in G1 when compared with other groups. Calcareous marine algae with or without adding other compounds found to be a promising rumen buffer agent, moreover TAC and plasma L-lactate showed better diagnostic performance versus rumen pH in the diagnosis of ruminal acidosis.

The current study was designed to evaluate the changes in vaginal cytology and serum progesterone and estrogen concentration in anestrum bitches treated with a combination of FSH and LH. Seven healthy Mongrel anestrum bitches were treated with daily administration of 75 I.U. FSH plus 75 I.U LH for consecutive nine days and another three bitches were kept as a control without any treatment. Treated and control bitches were examined for the percentages of different vaginal-cytology cells, serum concentration of estrogen and progesterone, and signs of proestrus and estrus in a scheduled timeline. Five of the seven treated bitches (71.4%) showed a gradual decrease in the percentage of parabasal cells, a gradual increase in the percentage of cornified and RBCs, a rapid decrease in the estrogen concentration, and an increase in the progesterone concentration. These five bitches showed signs of proestrus and four of them showed male acceptance and were conceived. These five bitches had high estrogen concentrations before initiation of the treatment. The other two bitches had a low estrogen concentration before the initiation of the treatment and after treatment, they showed a gradual increase in the estrogen concentration, but they did not show characteristic changes in vaginal cytology or progesterone concentration. Control bitches had high estrogen concentrations before treatment, but they did not show characteristic changes in vaginal cytology, estrogen and progesterone concentrations, or signs of proestrus up to one month after the end of the treatment. In conclusion, treating anestrum bitches with a mixture of FSH and LH induced characteristic changes in vaginal cytology and serum estrogen and progesterone concentrations in the majority of bitches. These changes were associated with the induction of fertile estrus in more than half of the treated bitches, and this percentage increased to about 80% in bitches having initial high estrogen concentration.

Mycotoxins are harmful auxiliary metabolites delivered by species of filamentous organisms developing on grains some time recently collect and in capacity. The study was planned to evaluate the protective role of lycopene (LYC) against Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) induces oxidative stress, hepatic toxicity, and apoptosis in Japanese quail. Sixty Japanese quail chicks (three-week-old) were randomly allocated into four groups; Negative control group; Aflatoxin -B1 (AFB1) group (1 mg/kg feed) as positive control; lycopene supplemented group (200 mg/kg feed) and AFB1 (1 mg/kg feed) with lycopene supplemented group (200 mg/kg). The growth performance parameters, serum biochemical indices, and liver antioxidant activities as well as  histopathological studies, and  immunohistochemical pictures were performed. The results showed a significant increase on growth performance and a significant decrease on feed conversion ratio (FCR) in aflatoxin inclusion with lycopene supplemented group. Moreover, the liver enzymes (ALT, AST, and ALP) were significantly (P < 0.05) decreased.  In addition, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels significantly decreased, while superoxide dismutase (SOD), Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT) activities increased in liver tissues. Furthermore, when compared to the aflatoxin-inclusion with the lycopene supplemented group had improved liver tissue and lower levels of cytokine production (IL-6 and TNF-). In conclusion, these findings implied that dietary administration of lycopene has significantly alleviated AFB1-triggered oxidative stress, inflammatory response and liver apoptosis in Japanese quail.

This study was conducted to evaluate and to compare the clinical, hemato-biochemical and endoscopic aspects of gastropathy in dogs treated with meloxicam alone or incombination with esomeprazole and misoprostol. Twenty baladi healthy dogs were included in the experimental study. Dogs were divided into four groups each group consisting of five animals; Group I (control group), the group that does not receive any medication. Meloxicam treated groups divided into: Group II which received meloxicam at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg BWT per OS /24 hr. Group III  animals received the same previous dose of meloxicam and esomeprazole at a dose of 1mg/kg BWT per OS /24 hr. Group IV  animals received the same dose of meloxicam and misoprostol 3μg /kg BWT per OS tid. Upon drug administration, dogs were kept under observation for 14 consecutive days. Clinical and hemato-biochemical  analysis were evaluated across time (T0, T3, T7, T10 and T14). The image analysis of the gastroscopic examination was evaluated across time (T0, T7 and T14), endoscopic examinations were applied to all animals in four groups at three time points (T0, T7, and T14), endoscopic lesions were scored by use of a 5-point scale. Clinically, the most common clinical sings in dogs with Meloxicam induced- gastropathy were inappetence to anorexia, hematemesis, melena, abdominal pain and weakness, the specific endoscopic lesions of gastropathy were gastric erosion, hemorrhage and ulcers. Serum gastrin concentration is a biochemically sensitive indicator of gastropathy. The overall results concluded that meloxicam-induced gastropathy was more severe in group II compared to groups III and group IV. The proton pump inhibitor (esomeprazole) was more effective and better tolerated than misoprostol.
