Using Photovoice with Migrant and Non-Migrant Youth to Explore Integration in Local Communities
Authors: Marzana Daniela , Gaboardi Marta , Crapolicchio Eleonora , Giuliani Cristina , Regalia Camillo
Published: November 2023

Photovoice is a participatory action research method that allows participants to express their stories, ideas, and emotions through photographs and discuss them in a group to reflect upon their community. The study aims at investigating the emotional and cognitive representations of the young participants (migrant and non-migrant) on integration in the living context in which they spend most of their time. The participants were 4 psychology students, 2 peer researchers, and 6 migrants. Results show how participants from different backgrounds conceptualize integration according to different themes: 1. A universal language (of music, art, food) to convey integration; 2. Travel as a metaphor for encounter; 3. Solidarity as a universal gesture; 4. Nostalgia as an obstacle to integration; and 5. Loneliness and poverty as factors of non-integration. Implications of the results are discussed.

Published: November 2023

Every stage of a construction project has a time and cost aspect. Project delays are normal and frequently happen in the construction industry. Delays have a massive impact on completing deadlines for projects, managing cash flow, and maintaining the appropriate level of quality. This paper aims to identify the financial problems facing by the contractor of construction sector and their effects on the projects in Kedah and Perlis. The goal of the study was to identify the options and tactical approaches that may be used to address these financial issues, as well as to analyse the causes, consequences, and repercussions of these issue. The hermeneutic phenomenology method is chosen for this study and six respondents who were chosen based on their expertise and skill in managing building projects in rural areas with more than 10 years of experience participated in structured interview sessions utilising standard semi-structured questions. The paper reveals that the critical financial issues in Kedah and Perlis of the construction industry are the withholding of payment by the approval parties, lack of cash flow management, past due payment received from the client, difficulties in obtaining funds from financial institutions, and inflation. The recommendations made to enhance and resolve the financial issues encountered, meaning that all these things had to take place earlier stage in the construction process.

Capabilities to use passive measurement systems to detect objects moving in a water region
Authors: Mironiuk Waldemar , Buszman Krystian
Published: November 2023

The increase in the use of sea water is the basis for the development of the existing security systems in given areas. Monitoring the navigational situation in a given water area is one of the most important tasks aimed at ensuring the necessary level of safety in maritime traffic. Marine surveillance systems at sea are used for this purpose. As an interesting approach related to the study of the movement of vessels, this paper proposes a method based on the measurement of physical field disturbances generated by objects moving in the sea water. These disturbances can be referred to the upper (air space) and lower (underwater) hemisphere. In the upper hemisphere the motion of the object generates disturbances of the thermal field while in the lower hemisphere disturbances of the acoustic, hydrodynamic, magnetic, electric and seismic fields are generated. Detection of the floating objects and determination of movement parameters is realized mainly by active systems. There are radiolocation systems in the upper hemisphere (radar systems) and echo ranging systems in the lower hemisphere (sonars and echosounders). Monitoring of the upper hemisphere of sea vessels traffic is conducted in a comprehensive manner. The lower hemisphere is in the most cases omitted. Therefore, it is recommended to develop underwater observation systems as a source of additional information about floating objects and thus complement the existing systems used in navigation. However, at present, despite the technological progress, there is a noticeable lack of the comprehensive solutions in the area of monitoring the vessels movement in the underwater space. Therefore, appropriate action should be taken to recognize this technology gap and increasing the safety of vessel traffic. The aim of the article was to present a fully passive, mobile underwater observation system that uses a number of sensors to monitor the underwater environment parameters, the research methodology and analysis of the obtained results. The method of deploying the measurement system at the selected geographical position and the measurement method are described. Based on obtained results, the analysis of sound pressure disturbances caused by passing ships was performed. A feature extraction method was developed to identify a passing vessel based on low frequency signal parameters.
Is the Whole Point of Human Rights Their Universal Character? A, B & C v Ireland and SAS v France
Authors: Burke Abbey
Published: November 2023

The United Kingdom Supreme Court’s 2014 decision in Cheshire West concerned the question of whether living arrangements for certain mentally incapacitated persons amounted to a deprivation of liberty. In finding that the test for whether someone has been deprived of their liberty is the same for a disabled person as it is for everyone else, Lady Hale reminded the Court that human rights are for everyone, because ‘[t]he whole point of human rights is their universal character’.1 But is there such a thing as universal human rights? This paper considers the philosophical and institutional complications faced by a universal approach to human rights. It argues that these philosophical and institutional difficulties are clearly played out in two recent decisions of the European Court of Human Rights: A, B & C v Ireland,2 concerning the Republic of Ireland’s restrictions on abortion, and SAS v France,3 concerning France’s ban on face-coverings. It concludes that the Court must not stray too far from a universal approach to human rights, lest it blot its record of success in calling out violations of rights and protecting individuals from the illiberal excesses of government.
The Inadequacy of UK Moral Rights Protection: A Comparative Study on the Waivability of Rights and Recontextualisation of Works in Copyright and Droit D’auteurs Systems
Authors: Brown-Pedersen Jonas
Published: November 2023

The paper examines two aspects of UK moral rights protection, namely the waiver of rights provided for under section 87(2) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (‘CDPA’) and the protection of copyright works from recontextualisation, in a comparative study. The jurisdictions compared are the UK, Canada, and the Nordic Countries. The paper argues that UK protection of authors’ moral rights are insufficient, chiefly due to the operation of section 87(2) CDPA and the lack of protection against recontextualisation (‘the spirit of the Convention’). The purpose of comparison is to furnish alternative solutions existing under the same international framework as the CDPA. In concluding, the paper finds that comparing the copyright law system of the UK to the Canadian hybrid system and the Nordic droit d’auteurs systems reveals a scale from least to most substantial protection of moral rights, with a greater emphasis on protection of the spirit of the work in droit d’auteurs jurisdictions, as illustrated by Swedish case law.
Exploring Bias and Accountability in Military Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Alexander Philip
Published: November 2023

With the evolution of machine learning, predictive risk assessment will establish itself as the standard rather than the exception. However, the excessive reliance on computer software can be detrimental to a state’s international human rights framework, threatening the fundamentality of customary international law. This letter highlights the concerns with algorithmic detention during armed conflict, a procedure where the detainee is attributed a recidivist score by an algorithm based on the degree of threat they pose to national security. Accordingly, the algorithm determines whom to detain and the duration of their detention. The primary concern with predictive detention is the instability of data collection during hostility, making the entire procedure manifestly arbitrary. Furthermore, algorithms are pre-set with data inputted by humans. As a result, there will always be room for human error or discriminatory biases that affect its decision-making. These concerns require immediate redressal before military-owned algorithms for the purpose of security detention enter the mainstream.
International Corporate Liability: the Past, Present, and Future of ‘Class Action Tourism’ in England
Authors: Kenny Patrick
Published: November 2023

Class action tourism refers to claims brought by a large number of claimants against parent companies in jurisdictions that are perceived to be claimant-friendly and based on alleged wrongdoing by those companies’ subsidiaries elsewhere. Such claims, commonly arising under tort, environmental, or human rights law, have become increasingly prominent in recent years. This article explains the background to this trend before discussing two important matters in detail: parental liability and issues of jurisdiction. By analysing these two areas, it seeks to explain both the recent prominence of these claims and their prospects in coming years. In particular, it argues that developments outside case law are likely to be crucial to the future of class action tourism: on one hand, more stringent requirements upon corporations as regard human rights and sustainability, combined with recent judgments, suggest the courts may be increasingly willing to find for claimants on the issue of parental liability. On the other, the EU legal regime aided the bringing of these cases and, post-Brexit, English courts have greater flexibility to decline jurisdiction. As a result of these developments, more cases may be struck out or stayed for jurisdictional reasons, but those that survive any jurisdictional challenge are less likely to be struck out on the basis that they cannot demonstrate potential parental liability and may be more likely to achieve ultimate success at trial or via settlement.
Regulating the Use and Conduct of Cyber Operations through International Law: Challenges and Fact-finding Body Proposal
Authors: Jiang Zhifeng
Published: November 2023

Although cyber operations present an emerging threat to international peace and security, there is a lack of interstate agreement on the international regulation of cyber operations. One prevailing response is to theoretically extend existing international law to the cyber   domain. This paper, however, challenges this existing response. It argues that international law is theoretically limited in regulating the use and conduct of cyber operations. With regards to use, there are limits to prohibiting cyber operations as internationally wrongful acts of a state. Three internationally wrongful acts are examined. These are prohibited “use of force”, as well as violations of the nonintervention and self-determination principles. With respect to conduct, there are limits to constraining the destructive effects of cyber operations through International Humanitarian Law (IHL). The character of cyber warfare and the nature of societies in which cyber warfare is conducted pose unique challenges to the applicability and effectiveness of IHL provisions. In order to address the limitations faced by international law in regulating the use and conduct of cyber operations, this paper concludes by proposing an independent fact-finding body.
The Forgotten Sector: Establishing the Need for Stronger Regulation of Livestock Emissions in the European Union – An Emergency Law Perspective
Authors: Neumann Katharina
Published: November 2023

The current EU emission mitigation framework manifests the narrative that CO2 emissions are the predominant source of anthropogenic climate change. However, this approach fails to acknowledge the intense impact that non-CO2 GHG, primarily from animal agriculture, has on global warming. This paper establishes the near exemption that livestock emissions are given within EU climate change policies, leading to inherently inadequate mitigation efforts. Although climate emergency declarations are continuously cited as efficient tools to break governments’ complacency regarding climate policy through normative force, an investigation of the European Parliament’s Climate Emergency Declaration suggests that the EU failed to exploit the potential of its climate emergency declaration as it maintains livestock emissions’ free pass within its current emission mitigation framework. The paper proposes sectoral emergency intervention as an alternative to the current climate emergency declaration to incite necessary climate action in the livestock sector.
Intersectionality: A Blind-spot Missed in the British Equality Framework?
Authors: Shahin Rand
Published: November 2023

The current British Equality Framework is premised upon a single-grounds approach which assumes that people’s identities may neatly be boxed up into manageable characteristics in order to claim protection. In contrast, an Intersectional approach recognises that an individual’s identity traits may be so intertwined that splitting them up is not reflective of the intersectional person’s experience. The disparity between the current approach and an intersectional approach creates a ‘blind-spot’ in the law’s protection against discrimination, which thus disproportions the most suppressed members of society. Therefore, intersectionality theory will be used as a lens to analyse the British Equality Framework to uncover the blind-spot’s origin. The framework’s intersectionally-lacking approach will be attributed to the wording of the legislation under the Equality Act 2010. This calls towards correcting the blind-spot and subsequently offering protection to those once neglected by the single-axis approach.
Management of CMPA in infancy: current approaches and future perspective
Authors: Martin-Martinez Benjamin
Published: November 2023

Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is a common food allergy among infants, with increasing incidence and severity in recent years. The objective of this study is to review the methods of CMPA diagnosis and treatment, assess the impact of probiotic supplementation on tolerance development, examine the role of butyrate in immune modulation, and investigate preventive measures against the "Atopic March." A comprehensive review of existing guidelines for CMPA diagnosis and treatment was conducted, with a focus on allergen avoidance and nutritional optimization through hypoallergenic formulas. The effectiveness of probiotic supplementation, particularly Lactobacillus casei CRL431 and Bifidobacterium lactis Bb-12, in expediting tolerance development was explored. Additionally, the potential of butyrate in modulating immune responses was examined and the impact of hypoallergenic formulas with probiotics, such as LGG was studied, in reducing other allergic manifestations and FGIDs. Studies assessing the preventive measures to curb the progression of FGIDs in CMPA children were also reviewed. This study signifies the achievement of immune tolerance in CMPA management. While some studies suggest a positive impact of probiotics on tolerance development, controversies exist, thus necessitating further research. Nutritional optimization is crucial in preventing growth deficits and micronutrient deficiencies. The potential of butyrate in modulating immune responses and mitigating food allergies is promising. Additionally, hypoallergenic formulas with probiotics may reduce the incidence of other allergic manifestations and FGIDs, while improving oral tolerance acquisition. Preventive measures hold the potential to curb the progression of FGIDs in CMPA children.

Book Review: Billy, A. 2020. NORTH SHORE RESCUE: If You Get Lost Today, Will Anyone Know?
Authors: Peterson Ross
Published: November 2023

This book will be of interest to all those engaged or interested in volunteer search and rescue. Although the book focusses on one team – North Shore Rescue (NSR) in British Columbia – the issues, stories, frustrations, and humour described herein will be recognized by those in other areas. Allen Billy takes the reader on a historic journey of NSR from its early days as a Civil Defense organization with barely adequate vehicles, equipment not suitable for mountain rescue and rudimentary communications, up to present time as a technical innovator and leader in Canadian search and rescue. As a volunteer team, NSR responds to requests for assistance from fire, police, ambulance service and municipal and provincial governments. Although NSR is an autonomous registered society, it nonetheless finds itself in the often complex and frustrating world of government and agency bureaucracy. Some of the narratives in the book show how accommodating to the myriad of bureaucratic requirements has been an evolution in itself.

Authors: Koester Robert
Published: November 2023

COVID-19 has impacted how search and rescue (SAR) teams respond to incidents, conduct operations, provide patient care, and demobilize. This review looks at COVID-19 symptoms, transmission, and risk factors that might affect search and rescue response. It then looks at risk assessment that might impact the development of COVID-19 operational guidelines along with several general guidelines that have been developed. A literature search was conducted and six response guidelines from search and rescue organization were located. They represented Maritime, Urban, Helicopter, and Ground Search and Rescue organizations. Elements of each guideline are assessed and important differences between different types of SAR functions explored. All SAR teams should develop guidelines on how to best to respond not only during the COVID-19 pandemic but for future infectious disease incidents as well. Key Words: Response guidelines, protocols, COVID-19, Search and Rescue

EXPLAINING THE BASICS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS FOR COMPUTING
Authors: Tiwari Sanjay , Bhat Neeraj , Sharma Varun , Sisodia Devraj Singh
Published: November 2023

Quantum computers operate on the principles of quantum logic, a fundamentally distinct paradigm from classical Boolean logic. This disparity leads to quantum computation's enhanced efficiency compared to classical computing. In this comprehensive review, we demystify the fundamental concepts of quantum computation, covering the creation of elementary gates and networks. We highlight the capabilities of quantum algorithms by examining the simple Deutsch problem and, in straightforward terms, dissect the renowned Shor algorithm for factoring large numbers into primes. Furthermore, we delve into the realm of physical quantum computer implementations, with a particular focus on tlo he linear ion trap approach. Here, we shed light on the primary challenge hindering the realization of practical quantum computers: the issue of decoherence. Nonetheless, we demonstrate that this hurdle can be overcome through the application of quantum error correction methods
The Role of App Update and User Feedback

Published: November 2023

Developing a mobile app that users will love can be a challenging task even with a great idea and a talented development team. It’s impossible to anticipate every user’s need or preference. That’s where user feedback comes in collecting feedback from app users is essential for improving app’s functionality, user experience, and overall success. It provides us with valuable insights into what users like, what they don’t like, and what they want to see improved. In turn, this information allows us to make data-driven decisions about our app’s development. Our work explores the rule of user reviews in app updates based on release notes. For this purpose, we collected user reviews and released notes for Spotify, the number one app in the music category in apple app store, as the research data. Then, we manually removed non-informative parts of each release notes and manually determined the relevance of the app reviews with respect to the release notes. Our empirical results show that more than 60% of the matched reviews are actually irrelevant to the corresponding release notes. When zooming in at these relevant user reviews, we found that around half of them were posted before the new release and referred to requests, suggestions, and complaints. Whereas the other half of the relevant user reviews were posted after updating the apps and concentrated more on bug reports and praise.

Authors: Patoni Patoni
Published: November 2023

This paper aims to illustrate efforts to enhance learning achievement in the subject of Civic Education (PKN) through the implementation of the cooperative learning method using the Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) model. This method emphasizes collaboration, interaction, and active participation of students in the PKN learning process. The study outlines the steps of implementing the STAD model and its impact on PKN learning achievement. The STAD model combines team cooperation and individual responsibility aspects in the learning process. Students are grouped into heterogeneous teams, encouraging cross-ability interaction and mutual assistance among team members. Each team member plays a crucial role in understanding the subject matter and mastering PKN content. The learning process involves specific cycles, including content delivery, group work, intra-team quizzes, and recognition of individual and group achievements.
In this research, the STAD method yielded positive results in enhancing PKN learning achievement. Students displayed an increased understanding of citizenship values, government structures, and relevant social issues. Additionally, students developed social skills such as cooperation, communication, and leadership through team interactions.
Overall, the implementation of the cooperative learning method using the STAD model proves effective in enhancing PKN learning achievement. This approach fosters an inclusive, collaborative, and responsive learning environment tailored to diverse student needs. By promoting active participation, social interaction, and individual responsibility, the STAD model positively contributes to improved understanding and student engagement in the PKN subject.

Nutritional quality of Artemia used in prawn hatchery determines the quality of seed output and its performance in the culture. The present study aimed at determining the effect of n-3 HUFA enriched Artemia feeding on growth and survival of postlarvae (PL) of M. rosenbergii. The Artemia were fed with n-3 HUFA emulsions at 2 ml L-1 and samples were taken at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48 h for analyzing fatty acid profile. Results exhibited that 24 h enriched Artemia had a significantly higher level of EPA (3.76±0.11%) and DHA (2.29±0.01%) and it declined after 24 h. The PL of M. rosenbergii were fed with freshly hatched (T1), 12 h enriched (T2), 12 h un-enriched (T3), 24 h enriched (T4) and 24 h un-enriched (T5) Artemia during initial 10 days and reared for 40 days with commercial diet. The highest SGR (3.21% day-1) and survival (83.33 ± 3.34 %) was observed in T4 compared to other treatments. Data of the present study suggest that 24 h is an optimum duration for the enrichment of Artemia and feeding it for short duration enhanced the growth and survival of M. rosenbergii.

For hundreds of people worldwide, fishing and aquaculture continue to be vital sources of food, nutrition, revenue, and livelihoods. The development of innovative culture techniques and the enhancement of culture systems for the blue revolution are products of the expansion of the fisheries and aquaculture industries. Integrated Multi-trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) is one such system. IMTA is an intense and synergistic cultivation of numerous species inhabiting different trophic levels of the water column. One species' waste becomes a valuable resource for another aquatic species. By turning leftovers and uneaten feed from fed organisms into harvestable crops, IMTA encourages economic viability and increases ecological sustainability. Also, it has been the subject of several initiatives in numerous nations. This article is a brief description of the IMTA, its design, and relevance to sustainability.

Fisheries and aquaculture are the fastest growing sector and it has huge potential in economic development, food and nutritional security and livelihood opportunities. This sector provides excellent opportunity for income generation particularly in economically backward areas. Gumla district where the 69% of the population are scheduled tribe and people are primarily associated with agriculture as well as fisheries activities; aquaculture can be an ideal option for upliftment of their economic activity. Therefore, it is very important to study the water resources and their potential, prevailing fisheries activity for sustainable exploitation of the resources as well as upliftment of the economic and social status of the fish farmers of the district. Therefore, information on available fisheries resources in the district were collected from the record of Department of Fisheries, Gumla and also from its official website. For the study of physico-chemical parameters of water and soil, two ponds of Palkot block were selected and samples collected from the selected ponds were analysed in the laboratory of the College of Fisheries Science, Gumla. Present study highlights the status and potential of fishery resources and the on-going fisheries activity to formulate strategies for further improvement.

An experiment was conducted in out-door, circular cement tanks (1000 L) with soil base for one year to estimate the plankton productivity and microbial characteristics in relation to seasons and inputs. Effect of three locally available manures - Cow dung (CD), poultry manure (PM) and goat manure (GM), on plank.tonic quality and quantity was evaluated. CD, GM and PM were applied to freshly prepared triplicate tanks at isonitrogenous dose at fortnightly intervals. Water quality, plankton quality and quantity were estimated. The study revealed that irrespective of the treatment, the water quality parameters showed similar pattern during the study period. Though the ammonia levels remained almost similar throughout the study, after initial 3 months, drastic decrease in nitrate levels were noticed in all the tanks owing to higher growth of plank.tonic biomass. Significantly higher phosphate content in water was noticed in poultry manure applied tanks. Plankton biomass was higher in all seasons with poultry manure followed by goat manure and cow dung. Bacillariophyceae (diatoms), Chlorophyceae and Cyanophyceae were higher with CD followed by GM, PM and Control (CO-without inputs). Density of Crustaceans, Rotifers and Euglenophyceae was the highest with PM, while it was similar in CD and GM. Control recorded the least value. Further, there was variation in tanks with respect to density of lactobacillus group of bacteria (on MRS agar plates) with highest count in CD (3.9x104 CFU/ml of bacteria) followed by GM (5.1x103 CFU/ml), PM (5.1x102 CFU/ml) and CO (3.7x102 CFU/ml). The study revealed superiority of poultry manure as a nutrient source for higher production of rotifers and crustaceans at all seasons under the prevailing conditions.

In the present study, innate immune parameters of peninsular carps Hypselobarbus pulchellus and Barbodes carnaticus were studied and compared with Indian major carps Catla catla and Labeo rohita. A total of30 fingerlings of each species were used in the study. The blood samples collected from fish were used for Nitroblue tetrazolium assay (NBT) to estimate respiratory burst and serum was used for Myeloperoxidase (MPO), Nitric Oxide (NO), and Lysozyme assays. The results for the NBT assay revealed H. pulchellus showing a significantly higher (P<0.05) levels ofrespiratory burst activity in the blood followed by B. carnaticus, C. catla and L. rohita, respectively. The serum MPO activity was significantly higher (P<0.05) in L. rohita compared to three other species with C. cattla showing least values. The serum lysozyme levels were higher (P<0.05) in H. pulchellus followed by B. carnaticus, L. rohita and C. catla. The nitric oxide level in serum of H. pulchellus was significantly higher (P<0.05) than that in B. carnaticus, C. catla and L. rohita. The study revealed that except for MPO activity which was higher in L. rohita, NBT, NO, and lysozyme activities were higher in peninsular carps H. pulchellus and B. carnaticus indicating that these species possess stronger inherent innate immunity than the Indian major carps studied. This is the first report on innate immune parameters in peninsular carps H. pulchellus and B. carnaticus.
Occurrence of Multispecies Myxozoan Parasite Infestation by Genus Thelohanellus Kudo, 1933 in a Group of Labeo rohita (Hamilton, 1822)
Authors: Banu Husne , Bharathi Rathinam R.
Published: November 2023

We describe two Thelohanellus Kudo spp. namely, T. bifurcata (34.94x 8.9μm) on gills and T. caudatus (13x8.9μm) on the caudal and dorsal fins, found infecting Labeo rohita (Hamilton, 1822) fingerlings in a wet lab facility of West Bengal India. The L. rohita fingerlings having spores on fins and gills were segregated and gross pathology was observed for one month. It was done to characterise the morphology of mature spores and to examine the histopathology of infected gills. There were 5-6 white cysts (1-2 mm in length) on the gill filament that were mostly persistent during the one-month study period and infected fish (12.5% prevalent) were listless, anorexic, and emaciated before eventually all of them perished. Spores of 4- 7 mm size in 1-4 numbers were found on caudal and dorsal fins which were visible for two weeks before it gets mature and released, whereas infected fish (20%) were active and underwent normal growth. Additionally, it was discovered that 5% of fingerlings had cysts on their gills and fins. The distal tip of the primary gill lamellae is where the gill epithelium ruptures, releasing the spores. The histological inspection of the infected gill clearly demonstrates infective sporoplasm entry, presporogonic stage, plasmodial maturation, and release of spores. Within a month, it was discovered that 100% of the fingerlings with infected gills died. This is because the plasmodial spores on primary gill filaments damage the structural framework of the gill filament and cause epithelial and vascular cell displacement. Our comparative analysis with previous studies support that orders and families of the parasites are strongly correlated with Thellohanellus Kudo sp: a pathogenic strain of T. bifurcata and a non-pathogenic strain of T. caudatus infecting L. rohita. The spore-forming stages of the gill-damaging T. bifurcata (entry, pre-sporogonic, and sporogonic) are extremely pathogenic to fish fingerlings and cause significant damage to gill tissue
