Published: July 2024

In recent decades Food Security (FS) has become a topic of global interest, with food shortages and deficient diets at home being a serious problem faced by humanity. The objective was to analyze the role of livestock in the FSof Mexico, period 1994-2012, toevaluate and contrast, livestock production and the availability of food for the national population. A descriptive and comparative multidimensional analysis was carried out with statistics from official sources, finding a significant increase in the volume of livestock production, a significant rise in prices and a sustained deficit trade balance. Therefore, livestock shows a significant contribution to the Mexican food security, supplying with national production the nutritional requirements established by the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL) for a balanced and healthy diet.

On the Claim that Cities Do Not Exist
Authors: Epting Shane ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2024

The history of philosophy and urban thought makes it evident that there are several ways to define cities. However, there are no popular views holding that cities do not exist. While this paper does not make this claim per se, it shows there are significant reasons that allow such a position to advance. In turn, examining this view provides several insights into the nature of cities and exposes the challenges they face due to issues such as vast socioeconomic inequalities, widespread ecological degradation, and global climate change. Along with making this case, the author investigates steps to move toward progress regarding such challenges.

Performance Characteristics of Incisional and Core Needle Biopsies for Diagnosis in Parotid Gland: Single-Institutional Experience and Assessment of the Value of a Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology–Like Risk Stratification Model
Authors: Rammal Rayan , Wang Qian , Ohori N. Paul , Kubik Mark , Chiosea Simion I. , Seethala Raja R.
Published: July 2024

Context.—

Unlike parotid fine-needle aspiration biopsy, standardized reporting for core needle biopsy (CNB) and incisional biopsy (IB) is not established.

Objective.—

To examine the value of risk stratification by a Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology (MSRSGC)–like classifier for parotid CNB/IB.

Design.—

Five hundred ninety-two parotid biopsy records (CNB = 356, IB = 236) were retrieved (1994–2022) along with clinicopathologic data. Diagnoses were transformed to an MSRSGC-like classifier and compared with end points including risk of malignancy.

Results.—

Over time, CNB was progressively more used compared with IB. Overall malignancy call rate was 223 of 592 (37.7%). Common specific diagnoses included Warthin tumor, lymphoma subtypes, and metastatic squamous cell carcinoma for CNB and IB, in addition to pleomorphic adenoma for CNB. Descriptive diagnoses were still frequent. Nondiagnostic rates were higher in CNB (26 of 356; 7.30%) than IB (5 of 236; 2.12%; P <.001). Tissue volumes significantly influenced CNB adequacy, with minimum and optimal volumes of 4.76 mm³ (J index, receiver operating characteristic curve) and 12.92 mm³ (95th percentile of distribution), respectively. One hundred forty-four patients (112 CNBs) had follow-up resections; diagnoses were concordant for 66 of 73 adequate CNBs (90.41%). Our restructured risk grouping of MSRSGC categories performed robustly in terms of risk of malignancy (sensitivity = 85.5%, specificity = 100%, accuracy = 92.3%, area under the curve = 0.9677).

Conclusions.—

Although CNB and IB are amenable to a risk stratification system, there are some differences as compared with fine-needle aspiration biopsy, particularly given the high baseline prevalence of malignancy. Specific diagnoses are often feasible and concordant with resection. CNB tissue volume can inform optimal and minimal sampling recommendations for adequacy.
Psychological Violence Against Women: Experiences of Women Imprisoned For Murder In Uganda
Authors: Milliam Kiconco
Published: July 2024

Majority of women in prison report a history of multiple forms of violence. Much as there is considerable research on the history of violence amongst women imprisoned for murder, no research has so far been conducted in Uganda and, elsewhere, most of the studies have paid attention to physical and sexual violence. To fill this gap, I carried out a study to investigate the experience of psychological violence in the life history of women convicted of murder in Uganda. Drawing from a purposive sample of 30 women, this paper includes data from interviews with 20 women who experienced psychological violence at different stages of their lives. The study employed the qualitative tradition of phenomenology. Data were collected using face- face-to-face in-depth interviews and analysed using NVivo 12 software. Interviews with women revealed that they were subjected to psychological violence during different stages of their lives which included; during childhood, in intimate relations and during arrests and trials. Psychological violence was manifested in different ways that included among others; women being scared, insulted, yelled at and called all sorts of bad names. Perpetrators were reported to be family members, police officers, lawyers and judges.

Published: July 2024

This article focuses on two main questions: (1) How is law enforcement against scampage crimes conducted during investigations by Polda Jatim from the perspective of positive law, and (2) How is law enforcement against scampage crimes from the perspective of Islamic criminal law. The research method used is empirical, with primary data obtained from interviews at Polda Jatim and secondary data from regulations, journals, and related articles. Data collection was conducted through interviews and documentation, then analyzed qualitatively with a deductive approach. The research findings indicate that law enforcement by the Cyber Unit of Ditreskrimsus Polda Jatim follows proper procedures. Preventive measures are carried out through cyber patrols, while repressive measures use Article 35 in conjunction with Article 51 Paragraph (1) of Law No. 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law No. 11 of 2008 on Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE). From the perspective of Islamic criminal law, the applied sanctions resemble jarimah ta'zir, allowing judges to impose educational and corrective punishments.
Artikel ini berfokus pada dua pertanyaan utama: (1) Bagaimana penegakan hukum terhadap kejahatan scampage dilakukan selama penyelidikan oleh Polda Jatim dari perspektif hukum positif, dan (2) Bagaimana penegakan hukum terhadap kejahatan scampage dari perspektif hukum pidana Islam. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah empiris, dengan data primer diperoleh dari wawancara di Polda Jatim dan data sekunder dari peraturan, jurnal, dan artikel terkait. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis secara kualitatif dengan pendekatan deduktif. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penegakan hukum oleh Unit Cyber Ditreskrimsus Polda Jatim mengikuti prosedur yang tepat. Tindakan pencegahan dilakukan melalui patroli cyber, sementara tindakan represif menggunakan Pasal 35 juncto Pasal 51 Ayat (1) Undang-Undang No. 19 Tahun 2016 tentang Perubahan atas Undang-Undang No. 11 Tahun 2008 tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik (ITE). Dari perspektif hukum pidana Islam, sanksi yang diterapkan menyerupai jarimah ta'zir, memungkinkan hakim untuk menjatuhkan hukuman yang bersifat edukatif dan korektif.

Authors: Sumarudin Muhammad , Syafrullah Mohammad
Published: July 2024

The development of artificial intelligence in the field of health encourages the use of electronic medical records in all health facilities to record health services provided to patients. For hospitals, extracting information from electronic medical records can make it easier for management to make clinical decisions and for researchers to obtain data for research in the medical and nursing fields. The research builds a model of named entity recognition in electronic medical records based on hybrid neural networks, bidirectional encoder representations from transformers, and setting hyperparameters to get the highest accuracy. The research data set is processed from an initial examination form of an adult patient in a hospital onto an electronic medical record in 2022, and the data is pre-processed. Next, perform the entity-tagging phase on the text and divide 70% of the training datasets by 30% of the testing datasets. Training and evaluation of models built using the confusion matrix method. The results of this study show that the entity identification model called bidirectional encoder representations from transformers consistently outperforms the neural network-based entity recognition model in any evaluation metric. The abbreviation of the bi-directional encoder representation of transformer has very high precision, recall, and f1-score values, demonstrating its ability to recognise entities very well. In this study, although the model named Entity Recognition based on neural networks also has high accuracy, the low precision and recall values indicate that this model may have difficulty recognising entities accurately.

Mosquito vector of human diseases associated with artificial containers in the Surrounding of Imo State Polytechnic Omuma, were studied between the months of May 2023 to August 2023. The collection of larvae of mosquitoes from the artificial breeding sites identified in the study area were done using dipper (ladle) constructed locally. Eight different sites designated (A- H) were used for the study. A total of 712 mosquitoes were identified, after larvae collected from the sites were reared to adult stage. They belong to three (3) genera of four (4) Species. They include Anopheles species 161 (22.6%), Aedesaegypti, 168 (23.6 %), Aedesalbopictus 148 (19.9 %) and Culexquinquefaciatus241 (33.8%). Site G recorded the highest percentage occurrence of species 131(18.4%) while Site A recorded the least with 63 (8.8%) mosquitoes. Results from different sites was not significantly different when compared for species abundance at p value ˃0.05. Species abundance was also compared among the months used for the study to statistically determine the month that has the highest abundance of species in the study area. Public health implication of different species encountered in the study area were determined using standardized keys. Considering the abundance of the anthropophilic mosquitoes in the study area, regular surveillance and preventive measure on these disease vectors should be encourage, hence there is need for further study on the mosquitoes found in the study area for control and prevention of possible disease outbreak.

This research paper explores the question of whether life after death and the paranormal world exists or if it is just a string of false beliefs. Life after death and paranormal activities have a wide area of discussion in India wherein, we focus on the existence of different realms, the interaction between these realms, the process of channeling, and various perspectives regarding the idea of “ghosts”, “spirits” and “entities”. We aim to logically deconstruct the phenomenon of paranormal activities and delve deeper into the concepts of soul, spirits, good and bad energies, and how they travel through this dimension to the other after death. The role of human beings in these occurrences is also substantially discussed in the context of the energies we emit and attract. These energies and actions that we give out in the world and perform throughout our lives also pave the way to the kind of vibrational frequency we would turn out to be in another dimension and also focus on the deeds and unfulfilled wishes of this lifetime which entraps our spirits in this world refraining it from starting a new life. This paper takes us through the experience and encounters of people who have become mediums to bridge the gap between different worlds, how these abilities can be of use, and what effects it has on them. It attempts to give an insight into all the inexplicable phenomena and the ravenous beliefs that surround the topic. It aims at unraveling the mystery around the question of whether the paranormal world and life after death are concepts that can be logically accepted or are just a set of deep-seated fears that emerge in the form of beliefs and experiences.
Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh's courageous sacrifice in the Indian nationalist movement
Authors: Vetal Anita ,   Loknete Ramdas Patil Dhumal Arts, Science and Commerce College Rahuri
Published: July 2024

Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh is considered one of the most influential young revolutionaries of the Indian nationalist movement. His courageous sacrifice for the Indian nationalist movement is remembered as Martyrs’ Day on 23 March. On this day, on 23 March 1931, Bhagat Singh Rajguru and Sukhdev Thapar were hanged. To liberate the country of India, these brave sons had kissed the noose with a smile. That is why this day is called Martyr’s Day. At that time Bhagat Singh was only 23 years old. At the young age of 23, he along with his comrades sacrificed their lives for the motherland, due to which Bhagat Singh became a favorite of the youth during the freedom struggle. This famous slogan of “Inquilab Zindabad” had expressed the voice of patriotism in every vein of the heart, mind and body of the Indian youth. Bhagat Singh was born on 27 September 1907 at 09.00 am in Banga village, District – Lyallpur. His father’s name was Sardar Kishan Singh Sandhu and mother’s name was Vidyavati Kaur. At the time of his birth, his father Kishan Singh and some family members were in jail. His uncle Ajit Singh was always in front of him as a motivating force and role model. His father Sardar Kishan Singh, who worked all his life for the independence of the country, was his source of inspiration. Inspired by the revolutionary family, the spirit of courage, sacrifice and patriotism developed in Bhagat Singh. In his early days, Bhagat Singh supported Mahatma Gandhi’s non-cooperation movement. But later, due to Gandhiji canceling the non-cooperation movement, some anger arose among them. But like the entire nation, he respected Gandhiji. Bhagat Singh was only 12 years old at the time of Jallianwala Bagh massacre. This massacre filled Bhagat Singh’s mind with anger against the British. At the same time, Bhagat Singh was so disturbed by the hanging of four revolutionaries and the imprisonment of 16 other revolutionaries in the Kakori incident that he merged his party Navjawan Bharat Sabha with the Hindustan Republican Association and gave it a new name, Hindustan Socialist Republican Association. “Today the desire for sarfaroshi is in our hearts, let us see how much strength the killer has in his arms” These are the words of those revolutionaries whose story of courage, sacrifice and bravery is remembered across the country. The country always pays tribute to his martyrdom.

Strategic market power of firms in imperfect markets
Authors: Ramamohan Rao T.V.S.
Published: July 2024

Studies dealing with the market power of a firm depend on the elasticity of demand even when market imperfection is acknowledged. This study suggests that a firm derives its market power due to its interface with consumers on the market as well as its interaction with rival firms on the market. As a result, its market share and market power over a unit of sales in the industry require attention in the context of imperfect markets. Similarly, non-price strategies of firms offer some market power that should be incorporated in the definition. Thus the modified market power indices are a significant contribution to the theoretical results.

Published: July 2024

Our research aims to determine and compare the influence of the school origin of students majoring in accounting on their understanding of accounting subjects when entering college. We used a qualitative research method with 3 methods of data collection, namely Zoom, voice recording, and direct interviews with 3 UPN "Veteran" Jakarta students in the 1st semester of the Bachelor of Accounting Program. Then the interview results are analyzed and attached descriptively. From these data, the author received the results that the school of origin influences the level of understanding of students' basic accounting concepts. Students from vocational schools have an advantage in facing accounting courses. However, this does not rule out the possibility of high school graduates surpassing vocational school graduates because what influences them most is their own encouragement.

Evaluation of the causality between testosterone, obesity, and diabetes
Authors: Shin Euichan , Alamdar Shah Syed Ali
Published: July 2024

While the effect of testosterone on male sex characteristics is well-known, its relationship with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) – particularly obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) – is less concrete. Furthermore, testosterone may yield sex-specific results on such NCDs. We employed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis on publicly available patients’ genomic data to evaluate the causality between testosterone, obesity, and T2D within combined, male, and female sex-stratified settings. Our results demonstrated that T2D significantly increased and was increased by heightened levels of obesity. Furthermore, we also found that male testosterone likely reduces obesity and T2D, while female testosterone significantly increases body fat and blood glucose levels. This research presents sex-based discrepancies that could hold significance in future clinical applications of testosterone. This research also highlights the potential in sex-stratifying two-sample MR analyses for future studies.

Gondolatok az információs műveletek és az információs tér szabadsága kapcsán
Authors: Farkas Ádám
Published: July 2024

A tanulmány célja rávilágítani arra, hogy az információs technológiák és az információs környezet fejlődése szükségképpen együtt jár az információk befolyásolásra való intenzívebb alkalmazásával. Ez az információs műveletek fogalmával kapcsolható össze, amely a komplex biztonság vonatkozásában a katonai értelmezésnél tágabban határozható meg: szolgálhatnak katonai, hírszerzési, politikai-diplomáciai, gazdasági, de akár különféle illegitim célokat is. Ezekkel szemben hatékony védelemre van szükség, ami egyrészt hiteles és aktív ellentevékenységet feltételez, másrészt korlátozások alkalmazását. Azonban a transzatlanti térség modern jogállamaiban a vélemény szabadsága alapjog, amely korlátozható, de az információs tér szempontjából rendkívüli jelentőségű. A kortárs jogállamok döntő többsége a vélemény szabadságának, az egyéni és a társadalmi kapcsolatok fejlesztésének, valamint a személyiség kibontakoztatásának kulcsfontosságú érvényesülési dimenziójaként tekint az információs térre. Ennek szabadsága tehát alapvető érték, amit első ránézésre az információs műveletek megvalósítása és az azok elleni védekezés is korlátoz. A jelen tanulmány célja rávilágítani arra, hogy az információs műveletek és az információs tér szabadsága közti viszony mégsem írható le nulla összegű játszmaként.
