Authors: Odu Anthomy , Rose Jack , Adedokun Daniel
Published: October 2023

The realm of music analysis and vocal performance assessment has witnessed remarkable progress in recent years, driven by the integration of cutting-edge technology and innovative methodologies. Among the pivotal aspects of vocal analysis, detecting the precise onset and offset of singing is paramount. This fundamental information not only forms the basis for transcription, but it is also crucial for vocal training, music production, and vocal health monitoring. Existing methods for singing onset and offset detection have served as stepping stones for understanding and leveraging this vital component of vocal expression. However, these methods are often constrained by certain limitations, such as accuracy in real-time environments and adaptability to various vocal styles and musical contexts.In response to the need for more robust and versatile solutions, this paper introduces a groundbreaking approach to singing onset and offset detection. This novel method is designed to excel both in real-time applications and offline analysis, revolutionizing the way we study and assess vocal performance. It leverages state-of-the-art techniques, harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, signal processing, and machine learning to offer a comprehensive solution to a long-standing challenge in the domain of music and vocal studies.In this paper, we will explore the theoretical underpinnings of the new approach, its practical implementation in real-time scenarios, and its application in offline vocal performance analysis. We will also present empirical evidence of its effectiveness and precision, comparing it with existing methods to highlight its superiority. Furthermore, we will discuss the potential implications and applications of this innovation in music transcription, vocal training, and vocal health monitoring.The introduction of this new method represents a significant advancement in the field, promising to unlock new possibilities in understanding, appreciating, and enhancing vocal performances. As we embark on this journey of discovery, it is essential to recognize the transformative potential of this novel approach in music analysis and vocal performance assessment. This paper serves as a stepping stone toward harnessing the power of technology to refine and elevate our understanding of the human voice and its role in the world of music.

In the wake of George Floyd, troubling aspects of American history were exposed to the nation as real and ever-present. Portrayal of the lived experience of people of color revealed that personal choice was not the only factor responsible for seemingly intransigent race-related differences in one's quality of life. Systemic factors also played a role in determining where a person lived, the likelihood of incarceration and the quality of one’s education. Contributing to this tumult is the Covid-19 pandemic. Covid-19-related declines in math and reading scores for students in grades 3-8 across the nation are equivalent to learning losses suffered by New Orleans evacuees following Hurricane Katrina (Oneyema, et al 2020; Kuhfeld, Lewis & Morton, 2022). Even before the pandemic, the differences in education outcomes were stark, particularly when comparing high- and low-income communities. These differences have been intensely studied by social scientists of all persuasions. Yet despite extensive scrutiny and significant outlays of federal, state, and local dollars, the so-called “race-related achievement gaps” persist. During this period of unparalleled learning loss, the federal government has increased spending in the form of the Elementary and Secondary Schooling Emergency Relief Act (ESSER) which stipulated that some funds be used to offset learning loss (U.S. Department of Education, 2021). The ambitious goals of the ESSER could be even better served by examining, not only those students who require additional instruction but also insights from those who succeed in crossing the “learning gap.” One such group are those students who graduate with STEM degrees from an HBCU.
Uncovering the Role of Non-Recorded Data in Distinguishing Autism Spectrum Disorder: Insights from the Distribution of Non-Recorded Data
Authors: Belisário Pedro Brandão
Published: October 2023

Purpose: Non-recorded data in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) eye-tracking studies have been consistently employed for eliminating outliers and subsequently either discarded or replaced. This research aims to investigate the role of non-recorded data as an indicator of ASD.Methods: The dataset, sourced from Nakano et al (2010), included 50 children and 54 adults, evenly distributed between ASD and typical development groups. The dataset was simplified to discern moments when gaze positions could or couldn’t be recorded. Subsequently, a statistical analysis compared the distribution of non-records within each group. Multiple Support Vector Machines (SVMs) were then constructed with the primary goal of classifying both age groups based solely on the non-record distribution.Results: The distribution of non-records proves to be a valuable feature for detecting ASD in children. The SVM model achieved an impressive 94% accuracy, and the p-value for the non-records distribution was a mere 0.0002. Conversely, this distinction is less conspicuous in adults. The confidence intervals for SVM models in the adult group suggest that alternative feature selection and classification methods might improve performance, particularly considering the p-value of 0.2696 in their non-records distribution.Conclusion: Non-recorded data, albeit overlooked in eye-tracking research, is a valuable tool for identifying autistic children. While it effectively differentiates ASD from typical development in children, this distinction weakens with age, particularly among individuals with high IQs. This research highlights the importance of recognizing non-records as a crucial feature in ASD studies and emphasizes the need for further investigation into the underlying reasons behind non-records.
TINDAKAN PERUNDUNGAN (BULLYING) DALAM DUNIA PENDIDIKAN DITINJAU BERDASARKAN HUKUM PIDANA ISLAM
Authors: julianto Bahruddin dwi
Published: October 2023

Perundungan (bullying) dalam dunia pendidikan merupakan tindakan tercela dan diharamkan oleh Islam karena dapat melukai korban baik secara fisik maupun mental. Dalam aspek jinayah, apabila perundungan dilakukan oleh pelajar atau mahasiswa yang sudah dewasa, sehingga mengakibatkan korban luka-luka, kehilangan atau kerusakan harta benda atau korban meninggal dunia, maka pelaku dapat dihukum dengan hukuman jinayah hudûd, ta’zir dan qishâsh. Namun, apabila perundungan tersebut mengakibatkan korban tertekan, ketakutan, atau trauma dan lain-lain di luar kategori jinayah hudûd dan qishâsh, maka pelaku dapat dihukum dengan hukuman ta’zir. Sebaliknya, apabila perundungan dilakukan oleh siswa atau pelajar yang masih di bawah umur, maka pelaku dikenakan hukuman ta‘zir berupa diyath, kaffarah, hukuman alternatif atau penganti (‘uqubât al-badilâh) yang bertujuan mendidik atau memberi pelajaran bagi pelaku dan orang lain supaya tidak mengulanggi perbuatan yang sama.

IntroductionThe Digital Measures Development: Core Measures of Sleep project, led by the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe), emphasizes the importance of sleep as a cornerstone of health and the need for standardized measurements of sleep and its disturbances outside the laboratory. This initiative recognizes the complex relationship between sleep and overall health, addressing it as both a symptom of underlying conditions and a consequence of therapeutic interventions. It aims to fill a crucial gap in healthcare by promoting the development of accessible, non-intrusive, and cost-effective digital tools for sleep assessment, focusing on factors important to patients, caregivers, and clinicians.MethodsA central feature of this project was an expert workshop conducted on April 19th, 2023. The workshop convened stakeholders from diverse backgrounds, including regulatory, payer, industry, academic, and patient groups, to deliberate on the project's direction. This gathering focused on discussing the challenges and necessities of measuring sleep across various therapeutic areas, aiming to identify broad areas for initial focus while considering the feasibility of generalizing these measures where applicable. The methodological emphasis was on leveraging expert consensus to guide the project's approach to digital sleep measurement.ResultsThe workshop resulted in the identification of seven key themes that will direct the DiMe Core Digital Measures of Sleep project and the broader field of sleep research moving forward. These themes underscore the project's innovative approach to sleep health, highlighting the complexity of omni-therapeutic sleep measurement and identifying potential areas for targeted research and development. The discussions and outcomes of the workshop serve as a roadmap for enhancing digital sleep measurement tools, ensuring they are relevant, accurate, and capable of addressing the nuanced needs of diverse patient populations.ConclusionThe Digital Medicine Society's Core Measures of Sleep project represents a pivotal effort to advance sleep health through digital innovation. By focusing on the development of standardized, patient-centric, and clinically relevant digital sleep assessment tools, the project addresses a significant need in healthcare. The expert workshop's outcomes underscore the importance of collaborative, multi-stakeholder engagement in identifying and overcoming the challenges of sleep measurement. This initiative sets a new precedent for the integration of digital tools into sleep health research and practice, promising to improve outcomes for patients worldwide by enhancing our understanding and measurement of sleep.
Germ aversion relates to negative attitudes towards people who violate COVID-19 health measures
Authors: van Leeuwen Florian
Published: October 2023

How do individual differences in pathogen avoidance motivations relate outgroup prejudice? The current study is a re-analysis of survey data collected via Project Implicit during the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic (March-May 2020). A large sample of American internet users (N = 2,258) completed measures of pathogen avoidance motivations (i.e., germ aversion) and reported their attitudes towards several social groups. The analysis showed that participants who had more germ aversion, perceived national groups (Britons, Italians, Chinese) as more infectious and reported slightly more negative attitudes towards these national groups. Germ aversion was not related to attitudes towards ethnic groups. In contrast, germ aversion had small-to-medium relations with attitudes towards people who did not engage in COVID-19 preventive measures and towards people who did not follow the advice of doctors and the government. Overall, the findings are not consistent with the notion that pathogen avoidance motivations have a broad effects on outgroup prejudice. Rather, the findings are consistent with proposals that pathogen avoidance motivations relate to a narrow range of variables, primarily avoidance of people or objects that are associated with ecologically-valid cues of infectious disease.
Timbral cues underlie instrument-specific absolute pitch in expert oboists
Authors: Hansen Niels Chr. , Reymore Lindsey
Published: October 2023

While absolute pitch (AP)—the ability to identify musical pitches without external reference—is rare even in professional musicians, anecdotal evidence and case-report data suggest that some musicians without traditional AP can nonetheless better name notes played on their musical instrument of expertise than notes played on instruments less familiar to them. We have called this gain in AP ability “instrument-specific absolute pitch” (ISAP). Here, we report the results of the first two experiments designed to investigate ISAP in professional oboists. In Experiment 1 (n=40), superiority for identifying the pitch of oboe over piano tones varied along a continuum, with 37.5% of oboists demonstrating significant ISAP. Variance in accuracy across pitches was higher among ISAP-possessors than ISAP-non-possessors, suggestive of internalized timbral idiosyncrasies, and the use of timbral cues was the second-most commonly reported task strategy. For both timbres, both groups performed more accurately for pitches associated with white than black piano keys. In Experiment 2 (n=12), oboists with ISAP were less accurate in pitch identification when oboe tones were artificially pitch-shifted. The use of timbral idiosyncrasies thus may constitute a widespread mechanism of ISAP. Motor interference, conversely, did not significantly reduce accuracy.This study offers the first evidence of ISAP among highly trained musicians and that reliance on subtle timbral (or intonational) idiosyncrasies may constitute an underlying mechanism of this ability in expert oboists. This provides a path forward for future studies extending the scientific understanding of ISAP to other instrument types, expertise levels, and musical contexts. More generally, this may deepen knowledge of specialized expertise, representing a range of implicit abilities that are not addressed directly in training, but which may develop through practice of a related skill set.
Comparing the Psychometric Properties of Reward and Relief Drinking Measures

Published: October 2023

Previous work examining the extent to which individuals seek alcohol to enhance positive experiences (reward drinking) or relieve aversive states (relief drinking) has shown that reward/relief drinking predicts response to naltrexone and acamprosate treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD). Yet, various measures of reward/relief drinking have been used in prior research, and the comparative psychometric properties of these measures are unknown. Evaluating and comparing the psychometric properties of these reward/relief drinking measures could identify measures with the most promise for translating precision medicine findings to clinical practice. In a community sample of 65 individuals with heavy/hazardous alcohol use on the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test, we showed good internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, and concurrent validity for theoretically aligned measures (e.g., reward drinking and reward responsiveness, relief drinking and depression/anxiety symptoms) of the reward and relief subscales across the six measures. We then used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to determine whether reward and relief drinking subscales predicted within-person associations between contextual factors of interest (e.g., negative affect, positive affect, distress intolerance, physical pain, hangover symptoms, social drinking situations, alcohol cues) and same-moment alcohol craving. All six measures demonstrated limited predictive validity for alcohol craving contexts in daily life assessed via EMA. Despite these findings, reward and relief drinking measures show good reliability and concurrent validity and previously demonstrated clinical utility for predicting response to AUD treatments, including naltrexone. Future research should aim to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the association between responses to reward/relief drinking measures and pharmacotherapy outcomes.
Is Matilda Playing it Safe? Gender in Computational Text Analysis Methods
Authors: van der Velden Mariken Anna Catharina Geertruida , Dolinsky Alona Olga
Published: October 2023

Numerous studies document the gender gap in published articles in political science journals, observing systematic imbalances in the submission pool which result in a distored publication pattern. In this study we test some pathways that may explain the distorted submission pool: a) playing it safe due to the gender perception gap, and b) the Matilda effect, focusing on papers using Computational Text Analysis methods. Papers using Computational Text Analysis Methods are more likely to be published in journals with a 'masculinized' perception gap. When women are aiming for these journals, they might 'play it safe' by conducting more validation checks than their male colleagues. Moreover, embracing the Matilda effect – i.e. internalizing the systematic under-recognition of female scientists – women scholars are more likely to indicate that a) there are important training needs in more areas; and b) they themselves need (further) training in computational methods and use these reasons not to publish papers employing these methods. We test these claims using a) a unique content analysis of research articles published in the top 20 journals in communication science, political science, sociology and psychology between 2016 and 2020, identifying all 854 articles that involved some form of quantitative textual analysis; and b) a pre-registered expert survey of all authors of quantitative text analytic research identified via said content analysis, which inquired about researchers’ considerations and concerns in the application of computational text analytic strategies.
A Constitutional History of Debtors' Prisons
Authors: Monea Nino C.
Published: October 2023

In 1776, only two states offered constitutional protections against imprisoning people for debt. Today, forty-one states do. This Article traces that history. It begins by examining how debtors’ prisons operated in early America, and then divides analysis between three phases of state constitutional activity. In so doing, it looks at the arguments that won over states to protect debtors, the state constitutional conventions that enacted protections, and the failure of the federal government to address the issue. The Article concludes by noting that despite the success of adopting constitutional protections, courts have allowed debtors’ prisons to resurge in modern times.
Is the Contempt Power Obsolete?
Authors: Monea Nino C.
Published: October 2023

Contempt power has been with us for as long as we’ve had courts in this country. Through summary contempt proceedings, judges may imprison any person they deem insufficiently respectful to the authority of the court—with significantly less due process than a person would be entitled to under any other criminal offense. In theory, this is necessary to maintain order in the court. But in practice, summary contempt power is serially and seriously abused. Judges use incarceration to deal with piddling offenses or seemingly for no real reason at all. This Article argues that the concept of allowing judges nearly unbridled discretion to jail people for rudeness is outdated and should be reformed.
Two Nestorian Gravestones in the Institute of History and Archeology of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, Ashgabat. With an Appendix on the Kayraks of Almaliq
Authors:   University of Pisa, Borbone Pier Giorgio , Mikheeva Anna ,   Institute for the History of Material Culture of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: October 2023

The article aims to provide a detailed stylistic and palaeographic study of the two Nestorian gravestones with Syriac inscriptions (kayraks), published first by Masson in 1978 without images, making recourse to recent photos. One of the gravestones results to be one of the kayraks found in Semirechye in about 1886, already known to D. Chwolson, who published its epitaph in 1897. For the second kayrak a new reading is suggested, different from Massons's; besides, the place of origin of the gravestone is recognized as Almaliq. In the appendix all kayraks found in Almaliq are presented, and their artistic and linguistic peculiar features are commented upon.

Boarding houses or what are often known as boarding houses are buildings that are definitely frequent and often found around campuses, especially in urban areas. A boarding house is a residential or residential building that is intended to be able to accommodate individual residents who are able to accommodate many residents. This causes the boarding house to be one of the buildings that consumes a lot of energy, is prone to generate a lot of waste, and is one of the buildings that is prone to causing environmental problems or global warming. That is why it is important for a boarding house to apply the concept of sustainable design. One of the boarding houses in the city of Bandung is Home Sweet Home which is located around the Maranatha Christian University campus. The purpose of this study was to determine the application of sustainable development principles to Home Sweet Home boarding houses. It is also hoped that this paper can help readers understand how important it is to apply the concept of sustainable design to residential buildings, especially boarding houses. The method used to collect data in writing this article is a qualitative method using a case study theory approach. The result of data analysis from writing this article is that the Home Sweet Home boarding house is a residential building that has not yet implemented a sustainable design. This also shows that there are still many boarding houses or residential buildings in big cities in Indonesia that have not yet implemented the concept of sustainable design.

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE PROCESS OF MANAGING ECONOMIC SECURITY OF ENTERPRISES IN CONDITIONS OF MILITARY CONDITION
Authors: Yepifanova Iryna , Dzhedzhula Viacheslav , Shevchuk Yevhenii
Published: October 2023

In the conditions of martial law, ensuring economic security is highly relevant for domestic enterprises. The issue of economic security is defined by the fact that a significant number of companies located in the Eastern part of the country are forced to relocate to areas where active combat operations are not taking place. Issues related to economic security are the subject of extensive research. At the same time, it is important to assess the factors influencing the process of managing economic security in the context of martial law.

The purpose of this work is to develop a model that will enable the evaluation of factors influencing the management of economic security in conditions of martial law. Economic security of an enterprise is a comprehensive characteristic that encompasses the level of protection of all types of the enterprise's potential from internal and external threats, ensuring its stable functioning and effective development, and requires management by the enterprise's leadership. This paper analyzes the factors influencing the process of managing economic security of enterprises in conditions of martial law.

Given that economic security significantly depends on sources of funding for the enterprise, the intellectual component, the availability of an adequate workforce, and the volume of information, these factors are taken into account in the research. The distribution of factors influencing the evaluation of the efficiency indicator of economic security management is presented. The paper proposes hierarchical relationships of factors influencing the system of economic security management of an enterprise, which, unlike existing approaches, allows for a more comprehensive consideration of the factors determining the effectiveness of economic security management and the development of a mathematical model for intelligent decision support in managing economic security.

Abstract

Breeding the kelulut honey bee (Heterotrigona itama) is relatively easy, not difficult to breed and care for, and produces quite a lot of honey. Breeding kelulut can be done on land that is not large, as long as the feed source in the form of sufficient nectar, pollen and resin. The Ash-Shiddiq Mosque in Umban Sari Village, Rumbai District, Pekanbaru City fulfills these requirements. The problem is that mosque DKM members do not have the knowledge and skills to do this business. The service team provides counseling, training and evaluation of activities and results. The results of partner activities have knowledge, skills in kelulut beekeeping and have obtained results in the form of honey which is one of the sources of income for the mosque. This activity has succeeded in empowering the mosque's DKM,  so that it is expected to contribute to the smooth operation of the mosque.

Vladimir Ivanov’s “Jewish Manuscripts”. Part 1. The Collection And The Archive
Authors: Belkina Ekaterina
Published: October 2023

The “Bukharian Collection” of Vladimir A. Ivanov included dozens of Jewish manuscripts. They came to the Asian Museum in St. Petersburg in 1915, and Alexander A. Freiman systematized some of them – in Judeo-Persian only – by 1918. Over the past century, there have been several (re-)inventories, so nowadays one cannot rely on those obsolete publications, working with these monuments. Part of the provenance has been lost. Basing on Ivanov’s archive and the inventory books of different years, this article is an attempt to update the information on all Jewish manuscripts acquired in Bukhara. The Aramaic and Hebrew manuscripts are new to the scientific circulation, the provenance of the Judeo-Persian manuscripts is clarified. 
Ivanov’s personal notes for each manuscript are scarce. Nevertheless, they are the primary source about the manuscripts, and today his “notebook” on the “Collection” is kept in the Archive of Orientalists of the Institute of Oriental Studies RAS. Using Ivanov’s list of manuscripts and their description by Freiman, as well as the current inventory, I managed to restore the provenance of almost all monuments. Some last Hebrew manuscripts in this list are particularly difficult to identify, while other monuments within the Jewish fund have been erroneously attributed to the “Collection” for a long time. Only one manuscript from Bukhara has remained unidentified. Checking the rest of the manuscripts for Ivanov’s notes at the margins in his “notebook” helped to match and connect the archival data with the source data of the manuscripts.

TERBENTUKNYA BUDAYA POLITIK PAROKIAL DALAM TATANAN KEHIDUPAN BERNEGARA YANG DEMOKRATIS
Authors: Syuhada Otong
Published: October 2023

Budaya politik parokial adalah budaya politik yang dapat merusak tatanan demokrasi, sebab penganut budaya politik ini tidak mau  terlibat dalam  proses demokrasi. Adapun tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis factor yang menjadi penyebab terbentunya budaya politik parokial. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah yuridis sosiologis dengan  pendekatan undang-undang dan pendekatan konseptual, Sedangkan data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder. Dari hasil penelitian ditemukan beberapa faktor yang menjadi penyebab terbentuknya budaya politik parokial seperti diantaranya adalah : Tingkat Pendidikan yang rendah, menganggap sistem politik itu tidak penting dan tidak berpengaruh kepada  kehidupannya,  politik dianggap sesuatu yang tabu untuk di bicarakan sebab mereka merasa bukan kapasitasnya dan merasa tidak memiliki kapabilitas,  maka perlu diberikan pemahaman dan pendidikan politik agar paham pentingnya partisipasi seluruh warga masyarakat  dalam berdemokrasi sehingga hak-hak individu sebagai warga negara dapat terlindungi. Oleh karena itu kedepan pemerintah harus segera  membuat sebuah regulasi yang tegas untuk mengatasi beberapa faktor yang menjadi penyebab terbentuknya budaya politik parokial.

This study was aimed to carry out a comparative analysis and reconstruction of the phylogenetic position of coccidia from the intestine of the belica Leucaspius delineatus (Heckel, 1843) from the Irkutsk Reservoir. Determination and comparative analysis of the nucleotide sequences of the cox1 gene fragment, obtained and available in genetic databases, demonstrated paraphilia of the genera Eimeria and Goussia. The sequences in the phylogenetic tree formed a distinct cluster at the base of the tree. Thus, the hypothesis that fish coccidia were ancestors of coccidia of other vertebrates was indirectly confirmed. The need for additional research and revision of coccidia in fishes from the Angara River and Lake Baikal is discussed.

Background:

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy R9 (LGMDR9) is a chronic progressive hereditary muscle disease, related to the Fukutin Related Protein (FKRP) gene, that may cause major disabilities, cardiomyopathy, and ventilatory failure. Knowledge of how LGMDR9 affects health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is relevant in treatment and care.

Objective:

To investigate HRQoL in the Norwegian LGMDR9 population over 14 months and relation to fatigue and sleep quality.

Methods:

Participants (16+ years) of the Norwegian LGMDR9 cohort study completed two HRQoL measures, i.e., Individualized Neuromuscular Quality of Life questionnaire (INQoL) and the 36-item Short Form (SF-36) at baseline, 8, and 14 months and measures of fatigue and sleep quality at 9 months.

Results:

HRQoL response rate was 84/90 (75 c.826 C > A homozygotes and nine c.826 C > A compound heterozygotes). Compared to Norwegian normative data, all SF-36 domain scores were impaired ( p≤0.006) except mental health in males ( p = 0.05) and pain scores. During 14 months, perceived muscle weakness and the INQoL index (disease burden) worsened in c.826 C > A homozygotes. Compound heterozygotes reported more dysphagia and physical difficulties than homozygotes and showed a tendency towards worsening in weakness over time but some improvement on the INQoL index. Homozygous females reported generally poorer HRQoL and a higher burden than males. The INQoL index was related to perceived muscle weakness and fatigue, and fatigue to myalgia and mental distress. The prevalence of fatigue and poor sleep was 40% and 49%, respectively.

Conclusions:

The 14-month follow-up period shows a worsening of perceived weakness and burden in c.826 C > A homozygotes, which can then be expected. The prevalence and impact of fatigue indicate a need for awareness and treatment of fatigue. Myalgia and mental distress are potential targets in the treatment of fatigue, which future studies need to establish. Sleep issues and gender-specific care needs also require attention in LGMDR9.
Exchange Rate Pass-Through and Inflation on Unemployment in Nigeria
Authors: Yusuf Wasiu
Published: October 2023

This study investigates the dynamic relationship between exchange rate fluctuations, inflation, and unemployment in Nigeria from 1986 to 2022. The study used annual data obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria data bank and the World Bank Development Indicator. The analysis employed Nonlinear ARDL models and Structural Vector Auto-Regression (SVAR) techniques with E-views version 10. Comprehensive diagnostic tests confirmed the adequacy of the chosen model. The estimations from both SVAR and ARDL reveal significant effects of exchange rate fluctuations on unemployment in Nigeria. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that inflation exerts a substantial influence on unemployment in Nigeria, both in the short run and long run. Additionally, the SVAR framework highlights a significant impact of exchange rate movements on inflation in Nigeria. The findings collectively support the applicability of the Phillips Curve hypothesis in the Nigerian context. The findings have implications for the timing of current account adjustments and the choice of exchange rate policies. It proposes the development of a threshold model by the CBN that captures not only the direction but also the magnitude of changes in the real exchange rate. Therefore, policymakers, including the Central Bank of Nigeria, should tailor monetary policies to address rising unemployment rates stemming from real exchange rate fluctuations. Furthermore, policymakers should expedite structural reforms aimed at economic diversification.

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurological disorder that affects cognitive functions, including memory, thinking, and behavior. Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease is critical for effective treatment and management of the condition. Deep Learning (DL) is a powerful tool that can be used for AD detection and diagnosis. DL algorithms can learn patterns and features in large datasets that can be used to classify and predict the presence of Alzheimer’s Disease. The most common approach is to use brain imaging techniques, such as computed tomography and brain MRI scans, to extract features that are characteristic of Alzheimer’s Disease. Transfer learning-based deep learning models can be effective in detecting Alzheimer’s disease from medical images. Transfer learning involves using pre-trained neural network models as a starting point and fine-tuning them to suit a specific task, such as Alzheimer’s disease detection. This paper focuses on classifying AD patients into various stages (early mental retardation, mild mental impairment, late mild mental impairment, and final Alzheimer’s stage) by utilizing transfer learning with ResNet50, VGG16, and DenseNet121 along with CNN networks on a large dataset. The work classifies Alzheimer’s patients into various stages using transfer learning with ResNet50, VGG16, and DenseNet121 along with CNN on a large dataset. The model is trained and tested on ADNI data using Keras API and divides the MRI images into: EMCI, MCI, LMCI, and AD. The performance of VGG16, DenseNet121, and ResNet50 outperformed other models significantly. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in accuracy compared to previous approaches, with a final accuracy of 96.6%.
