METHODOLOGY FOR PLANNING THE LOCATION OF SWITCHING NODES OF IP-TELEPHONY NETWORKS
Authors: Sevinj Jebrayilova Sevinj Jebrayilova
Published: November 2023

The relevance of the topic is due to the high pace of development and implementation of new systems and processes in information structures and the lack of a methodology for determining the effectiveness of using new infocommunication technologies in them. Currently, there are no unified scientifically based methods for assessing the feasibility and effectiveness of using IP telephony technology. This is due to insufficient experience in the operation of telecommunication systems based on IP telephony technology and their significant difference from traditional telephone systems. It is indicated that for optimal planning of the location of switching nodes of IP-telephony networks, a methodology has been developed, consisting of the development of a mathematical basis for constructing the projected IP-telephony network, algorithmic implementation and estimation of the complexity of the implementation of this algorithm, which can be used in the design of real IP-telephony networks. The algorithmic implementation of the developed technique uses three arrays from among the nodes of the network, i.e. the first array contains labels with two values, the second array contains the distances - the current shortest distances from the specified vertex to the corresponding vertex, and the third array contains the vertex numbers. In turn, the algorithmic implementation depends on how the source vertex is found, how the set of unmarked vertices is stored, and how labels are updated.
Keywords: Telecommunications network, IP-telephony technology, packet switching of flows, planning of the location of switching nodes, algorithmic implementation of the planning methodology, subscriber network, parameters of information systems, network parameters.

Authors: Handajani Sih Rini , Sari Lutfiana Puspita , Ambarsari Elisha Ayu
Published: November 2023

Background: Adolescence can be defined as a developmental phase characterized by the transition from childhood to adulthood, usually during this period marked by changes in physiology, psychology, mental, emotional, and social. The transition signs in females indicate that they are experiencing menstruation. Menstruation can cause dysmenorrhea in some individuals, leading to disruptions in their daily activities. Ginger stew compress, or warm compress, is a non-pharmacological therapy that can help alleviate dysmenorrhea.
 
Methods: This was quantitative research using a quasi-experiment design with a two-group pretest-posttest approach. The participants were selected using a simple random sampling technique, resulting in a sample of 44 respondents divided into two groups. The instrument in this study was an observation sheet containing the identity of the respondent, and the scale to determine the level of pain intensity experienced was the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS).
 
Results: This research indicates that there was a significant difference in dysmenorrhea intensity when using a ginger stew compress compared to a warm compress. The statistical analysis used was an independent sample t-test performed in the study with a p-value that was lower than 0.05 (Asymp.Sig 2-tailed = 0.015), indicating a significant difference between the two types of compresses, giving a ginger stew compress and a warm compress toward the intensity of dysmenorrhea.
 
Conclusion: The ginger stew compress is more effective than the warm water compress to reduce the intensity of dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls in grade 7 at 2 JHS Gantiwarno. It is hoped that the results of this research can be utilized as an additional reference regarding research on treating menstrual pain with boiled ginger water compresses and warm compresses.

Ethical infrastructure of organizations as a guide for conflict management
Unethical behavior at the workplace may have a negative impact on workers´ job satisfaction, engagement, and overall wellbeing. However, organizations have different strategies and orientations to managing and sustaining an ethical environment. In this qualitative study we explore what contributes to individuals´ experience of successful conflict management. We study this from the perspective of ethical infrastructure, that is a set of formal and informal systems that build ethical culture in organizations. We conducted nine in-depth interviews and used the first two phases of Appreciative Inquiry (AI) (define and dream) to identify and envision good practice. The study identified constructive practice, collective agency, communication, emotional skills, and a working culture based on dialogue as factors supporting future workplaces in conflict resolution. The study highlights the need to understand conflict management as being dependent on, and in interaction with other elements

Published: November 2023

The acceptance of EULAs by Nigerian users raises important legal implications. Users may face challenges related to privacy, data protection, intellectual property rights, and dispute resolution. EULAs are legal contracts that establish the terms and conditions under which end users can access and use software applications. Understanding EULAs is crucial for both software developers and end users. However, the complexity and length of EULAs often make them difficult for end users to comprehend and raise concerns about informed consent. The lack of user understanding and awareness regarding EULAs is a significant problem. The study examined end users license agreements and legal implications for Nigerian users. The study employed quantitative research approach and self-structured questionnaire used to collect the needed data. A sample size of two hundred and two sample of respondents was used for the study. Descriptive statistics was used to analyzed the collected data via the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The findings revealed that EULAs have significant legal implications for users in Nigeria, shaping their legal relationship with software providers and influencing aspects like data privacy, usage rights, and dispute resolution.

Authors: Bamaiyi Garba , Dariyem Naandi Kruslat
Published: November 2023

The study examined monetary policy operations and economic growth in Nigeria from 1990 to 2022. The primary purpose is to evaluate the impact of monetary policy operations on Nigeria’s economic growth. The data for the study were obtained from National Bureau of statistics (NBS) databased and Central Bank of Nigeria CBN statistical bulletin. The econometric methods of OLS, Co-integration, Variance Error Correction Mechanism (VECM) and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) were employed to examined the interplay among the critical variables. The natural log of real GDP was employed as the variable of interest while exchange rate and inflation rate as instrument of monetary policy operations. The result of the VECM shows that the overall model is satisfactory given the coefficient of determination of 34 percent and f-statistics of 3.37. The study discovered that the explanatory variables were not statistically significant at 5% level in stimulating economic growth in Nigeria. However, the long run dynamic result also shows that there exists a long-run relationship or equilibrium among the variables. The result of VARM revealed that exchange rate has positive coefficients, indicating a positive relationship with the lagged RGDP. The model has a moderately high R-squared value (0.9429), indicating a reasonably good fit. While inflationary rate indicates negative coefficients with the lagged exchange rate. The model has a lower R-squared value (0.2862), indicating a weaker fit to the data. These finding hold significant implications for the Nigerian economy, highlighting the effectiveness of monetary policy, the importance of exchange rate stability, and the imperative of inflation control in promoting sustained economic growth. Policymakers are urged to prioritise evidence-based decisions, long-term planning, and target interventions to harness the full potential of monetary policy in driving sustainable economic development in Nigeria.
International Trade and Economic Growth in Nigeria
Authors: Owan John Odey
Published: November 2023

This study evaluated the impact of international trade on economic growth in Nigeria from 1986 to 2021.The variables used in this study comprised of gross domestic product as a dependent variable, while oil exports, non-oil exports, oil imports, non-oil imports and exchange rate are the explanatory variables. The employed variables have different order of integration ranging from zero and one, which led to the application of auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) model as the method of analysis. The ARDL model investigated long-run and short-run interactions among the variables. The results showed evidence of co-integrating equations amongst the variables. Hence, the key findings that satisfied the research objectives are (i) oil exports have significant positive impact on economic growth in Nigeria in both short-run and long-run. (ii) Non-oil exports exerted positive and significant influence on economic growth in Nigeria in both short-run and long-run. (iii). Oil imports negatively and significantly affected the growth rate of the Nigeria’s economy and (iv) non-oil imports affect the economic growth in Nigeria negatively and insignificantly in both the short-run long-run. The results imply that N1 rise in oil exports increases economic growth by N0.089 in the short-run and by N0.376 in the long-run; whereas N1 rise in non-oil exports increases economic growth by N0.047 in the short-run and N0.199 increase in the long-run. However, N1 rise in oil imports, decreases economic growth by N0.019 in the short-run and N0.092 decrease in the long-run; whereas N1 rise in non-oil imports, decreases economic growth by N0.022 in the short-run and N0.92 decrease in the long-run. Based on the findings, the study recommended that Nigerian government should make judicious use of proceeds from export of crude oil to diversify other productive sectors of the economy. Again, the activities of non-oil sectors like agriculture, industry, etc, should be stimulated to enhance non-oil exports in Nigeria.

Prevalence, Predictors and Diagnosis of Cardiac Amyloidosis in Patients with Aortic Stenosis
Authors: Bukhari Syed
Published: November 2023

Cardiac amyloidosis and aortic stenosis often share a common clinical phenotype, and are associated with morbidity and mortality if untreated. Cardiac amyloidosis is present in ~15% of patients with aortic stenosis. Clinical suspicion for cardiac amyloidosis in aortic stenosis is often raised based on history (bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, severe lumbar spinal stenosis, spontaneous biceps rupture), chronic troponin elevation, electrocardiographic features (low-voltage criteria, pseudoinfarct pattern), echocardiogram (bilateral ventricular hypertrophy, abnormal longitudinal strain) and magnetic resonance imaging (late gadolinium enhancement, elevated T1 and T2). Eventual diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis is based either on pyrophosphate nuclear scintigraphy or tissue biopsy depending on which subtype of cardiac amyloidosis is suspected.

Published: November 2023

Due to the large number, large size and wide distribution of billboards built-in airport terminals, they easily become ignition sources and fuses that promote the spread of fires after the fire, and such fire hazards are often ignored. To study the spread of airport terminal fires caused by billboards, the combustion test of 12 common billboard materials Polyethylene Glycol Terephthalate (PET) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) was carried out by monomer combustion experiment. Then, the experimental data were substituted into the FDS simulation software to simulate and verify the fire in the airport terminal, and the fire development, smoke diffusion, visibility change, CO generation and temperature change were studied. The results show that the scope of fire spread to the airport terminal after the burning of advertising materials is spatially limited, which is related to the location and height of the fire source of the billboard. The large amount of smoke the fire generates forms an inverted cone plume shape, and the phenomenon of roof jet and smoke settlement will occur. The temperature of the smoke that spreads to the ceiling reaches 300°C, reaching 3/8 of the area on the second floor of the terminal at 700s. The smoke hazard of the floor above the ignition point is much greater than that below the ignition point, and the horizontal spread rate of smoke above the ignition point accelerates with the increase of floor height. Visibility analysis showed that visibility near the roof and near the fire source was low, and the visibility level had little impact on the escape of personnel. As the fire develops, the farther away from the fire source, the faster the CO volume fraction of the floor reaches the critical value. This study provides a theoretical basis and data support for the fire safety assessment of the multi-functional public area of the terminal

Background: Plagiarism by researchers and college students in Vietnam has become a major concern for publishers. Many cases of master’s theses of graduate students in Vietnam being cancelled or their diplomas being revoked for plagiarism are recorded, and some scientists also have been warned or criticized for plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyse the use in educational research of 13 popular text-matching software packages at universities in Vietnam.

Methods: The study was based on semistructured interviews of 104 researchers from 18 universities in Vietnam with reference to the use of text-matching software by the researchers.

Results: The three most commonly used text-matching software packages were Turnitin, DoIT, and iThenticate. Three-fourths of the 18 universities employ text-matching software and although 17 out of 104 researchers were unfamiliar with such software. Universities in Vietnam primarily require plagiarism checks for master’s theses (79 out of 104 responses) and doctoral dissertations (72 out of 104 responses). Out of 104 participants, 32 use them for graduate theses or project reports, and 45 use them for research papers and project reports.

Conclusions: Many universities in Vietnam are yet to specify the requirements for use of text-matching software, and most researchers and students use it only when prompted by publishers or institutions. Researchers in educational science typically lack the financial resources and the requisite skills for using text-matching software.

Major issues with logistic functions (LFs) in modeling wind turbine power-speed characteristics (WTPSCs) include: 1. low accuracy near cut-in and rated wind speeds due to lack of continuity; 2. difficulties in fitting their parameters because of ill-conditioning; 3. no guaranteed monotonicity; 4. no systematic way to determine upper and lower limits for their parameters. The literature also reports that six parameter LFs may sometimes provide less accurate results than five, four, and three parameter models, implying: 1. they are unsuitable for WTPSC modeling; 2. lack of systematic method to determine upper and lower limits for optimization algorithms to search in. In this paper, we propose a new six parameter LF then employ subspace trust-region (STIR) algorithm to estimate its parameters. We compare the accuracy of our six parameter model to others from the literature. With $ 42 $ on-shore and off-shore WTs database of ratings varying from 275 to 8000 kW, we the comprehensiveness of our model. The results show an average mean absolute percent error (MAPE) of 2.383 × 10−3. Furthermore, our model reduces average and median normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) by $ 32.3\% $ and $ 38.5 \% $, respectively.
Unlocking the genetic code: Exploring the potential of DNA barcoding for biodiversity assessment
Authors: Odah Mohammad Ahmad Ahmad
Published: November 2023

DNA barcoding is a crucial method for assessing and monitoring species diversity amidst escalating threats to global biodiversity. I explore DNA barcoding's potential as a robust and reliable tool for biodiversity assessment. It begins with a comprehensive review of existing literature, delving into the theoretical foundations, methodologies and applications of DNA barcoding. The suitability of various DNA regions, like the COI gene, as universal barcodes are extensively investigated. Additionally, the advantages and limitations of different DNA sequencing technologies and bioinformatics tools are evaluated within the context of DNA barcoding. To evaluate the efficacy of DNA barcoding, diverse ecosystems, including terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats, are sampled. Extracted DNA from collected specimens undergoes amplification and sequencing of the target barcode region. Comparison of the obtained DNA sequences with reference databases allows for the identification and classification of the sampled organisms. Findings demonstrate that DNA barcoding accurately identifies species, even in cases where morphological identification proves challenging. Moreover, it sheds light on cryptic and endangered species, aiding conservation efforts. I also investigate patterns of genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships among different taxa through the analysis of genetic data. This research contributes to the growing knowledge on DNA barcoding and its applicability for biodiversity assessment. The advantages of this approach, such as speed, accuracy and cost-effectiveness, are highlighted, along with areas for improvement. By unlocking the genetic code, DNA barcoding enhances our understanding of biodiversity, supports conservation initiatives and informs evidence-based decision-making for the sustainable management of ecosystems.
Genèse du Kurdistan
Authors: James Boris
Published: November 2023

Au mitan du XIIIe siècle, la dynastie ayyoubide quittait le pouvoir en Égypte et bientôt en Syrie. Le sultanat de Saladin avait été caractérisé par une forte présence kurde à la fois au sein des armées du royaume et dans les plus hautes fonctions civiles politiques et judiciaires. Sa chute, au profit d'un groupe de militaires turcs d'origine servile, les Mamelouks, entraîna la marginalisation progressive des émirs et des notables kurdes. L'influence des Kurdes au sein de l'État mamelouk naissant fut bien réelle mais, au fur et à mesure qu'elle s'éteignait, elle se muait en une faible capacité de nuisance menant à de vaines conjurations. Les Kurdes n'eurent plus qu'une place politique périphérique dans l'Égypte et la Syrie du début du XIVe siècle.
Que devenait alors la ʿasabiyya kurde (« l'esprit de corps ») qui avait soutenu la dynastie ayyoubide ? La phase historique qui s'ouvrait marquait les débuts d'une reconfiguration de la place des Kurdes au Levant ainsi qu'aux marges des empires, au Kurdistan.
Cet ouvrage a pour objet l'étude du processus pluriel de construction d'un territoire des Kurdes, entre l'Anatolie et le plateau iranien. Des tribus belliqueuses ont ancré leur histoire dans les montagnes de ce lieu refuge. Elles y ont établi l'ordre intra- et intertribal, matrice de leur autonomie. Les grands États du Moyen-Orient (Mamelouks et Ilkhanides mongols), quant à eux, ont entériné cet édifice et contribué de manière décisive aux transformations spatiales, par le pouvoir de nommer les lieux et de coopter les hommes. La convergence paradoxale de leurs politiques impériales rivales s'impose comme le facteur crucial d'une autochto­nisation des Kurdes.
Adalia decempunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), a Palaearctic species now established in North America

Published: November 2023

The Palaearctic ten-spotted lady beetle, Adalia decempunctata (Linnaeus), has been confirmed as established in North America, based on morphological characters and DNA barcodes. Its distribution currently appears limited to the Avalon Peninsula of the island of Newfoundland, Canada. Several characters, including the colour of the mesepimera, frons, labrum, antennal club, mouthparts, and legs, are reliable for discriminating among this species and the native, Holarctic two-spotted lady beetle, Adalia bipunctata (Linnaeus), in Newfoundland. An identification key to the two species is provided.

Patient satisfaction in the emergency department is crucial for assessing the quality of care provided. Timely patient management enhances confidence in healthcare providers and the hospital. The Time Frame Emergency Model of Care is instrumental in ensuring timely service delivery and reducing adverse effects associated with prolonged patient stays (LOS) and overcrowding. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the time frame guide emergency model of care and patient satisfaction in the emergency room. This quantitative cross-sectional study employed accidental sampling, involving 95 respondents aged over 18 years with triage 4 classification in the emergency department. Questionnaires were used to collect data on the Time Frame Emergency Model of Care and patient satisfaction. The chi-square test was utilised for data analysis. The findings revealed a high level of patient satisfaction in the emergency department. The chi-square test demonstrated a significant relationship between the Time Frame Emergency Model of Care and patient satisfaction (p-value = 0.000, <0.05). Moreover, the correlation coefficient of 0.582 indicated a strong relationship. In conclusion, this study established a significant relationship between the Time Frame Emergency Model of Care and patient satisfaction at emergency room. These results emphasise the model’s role in enhancing patient satisfaction and reducing adverse outcomes associated with extended patient stays and overcrowding.
