Authors: Sri Lestari Dian , Zaenatul Hakamah  , Ahmad Syarifuddin  , Nabila Rahmatul Husna  , M. Qinthar Rahman
Published: May 2024

The development of information technology provides free access to all aspects of society to access social media as a means of communicating and socializing, especially among teenagers. Not only does it have a positive impact, in fact social media has a negative impact. In this writing, the author explains two problem formulations: first, regarding how body shaming is seen from the perspective of Tahir Ibnu Asyur in Surah al-Hujurat (39): 11. Second, this research also tries to contextualize Tahir Ibnu 'Asyur's interpretation of body shaming. This research uses the library study analysis method, where the author collects data from various sources such as books, books, tafsir books, and journals. In studying interpretation, the conceptual thematic method is used, where the author looks for verses that are relevant to the theme to be studied before carrying out analysis. The results of the analysis show that Tahir Ibnu 'Assyur considers reproaches to be verbal statements and the use of bad titles, but also notes that reproaches can manifest in bodily actions such as hand or eye movements, which can give rise to feelings of offense, as well as other bodily movements.

Authors: Busthomi Yazidul , Rudy Catur Rohman Kusmayadi
Published: May 2024

Multiculturalism in general is a concept of culture and variations in individual behavior caused by differences in race, religion and social structure, which is currently a hot issue and study material in the realm of social order. Islam has existed for centuries as the center of an advanced and diverse civilization. Along with the spread of Islam to various regions of the world, Islamic kingdoms grew and had prosperous centers of trade, science and culture. One of the main characteristics of Islamic civilization is the ethnic, cultural and religious diversity that exists within it. The structure of society in Damascus consists of four main components, namely: 1. The first social class, namely the Muslim-Arab nation occupies the highest class in social stratification in Damascus. 2. The second social class, namely the converts, people who have just converted to Islam. 3. The third social class, namely the non-Muslim group. 4. The fourth social class, namely the slaves who lived within the center of power of the Umayyad Daula in Damascus.

EXTRACTION OF MAN-MADE OBJECT FROM REMOTE SENSING IMAGES USING GABOR ENERGY FEATURES AND NEURAL NETWORKS
Authors: Sheikh Md. Abdul Alim
Published: May 2024

This chapter presents a novel approach for man-made object extraction in Remote Sensing (RS) images. This paper focuses on the design and implementation of a system that allows a user to extract multiple objects such as buildings or roads from an input image without much user intervention. The framework includes five main stages: 1) Pre-processing Stage. 2) Extraction of Local energy features using edge information and Gabor filter followed by down sampling to reduce the redundant information. 3) Further reduction of the size of feature vectors using Wavelet decomposition. 4) Classification and recognition of man-made structures using Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) 5) NDVI based postclassification refinement. Experiments are carried out on a dataset of 200 RS images. The proposed framework yields Overall Accuracy (OA) of 93%. Experimental results validate the effective performance of the suggested method for manmade objects extraction from RS images. Compared with other methods; the proposed framework exhibits significantly improved accuracy results and computationally much more efficient. Most notably, it has a much smaller input size, which makes it more feasible in practical application
THE APPLICATION OF MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES IN MEDICINE
Authors: Mathew Medowelie , Singh Thokchom Shawankumar
Published: May 2024

An antigen usually has many epitopes and may stimulate specific B-cells and bind to the specific epitope. Each stimulated Bcell undergoes proliferation and produces a clone of B-cells which then differentiates into plasma cells. Plasma cells in turn produce a mixture of antibodies specific to various epitopes. However, if only one particular epitope stimulates one B cell and allowed to proliferate and produce antibodies having the same antigenic specificity, they are referred to as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The Hybridoma technology developed in 1975 by Georges J. F. Kohler and C. Milstein produces monoclonal antibodies. Recent research on mAbs have its widespread uses in clinical medicine for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Its uses in ELISA, immunohistochemistry and western immunoblotting have redefined in the diagnosis of various diseases. Uses of mAbs in cancer treatment, immune diseases and many bacterial and viral diseases are increasing. The future prospect of this review is to understand its application in the trend of diseases and its utility in clinical diagnostic and therapeutic fields

Published: May 2024

Molecular Pathology is defined by the Association of Clinical Pathologists as ―the study of molecules in a disease state‖ by using the tools of molecular biology to better understand the aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. The use of antibody integrated specific immunohistochemical stains marks the dawn of the Molecular era of pathology. This chapter discusses briefly the various modern biology tools used in diagnostics and the role of molecular pathologist in understanding diseases and malignancies in particular as a part of the multidisciplinary team consisting of pathologist, radiologist, clinico-oncologist, surgeon and therapist. The commonly used modern biology tools in diagnostics are Immunohistochemistry, Pyrosequencing, Sanger sequencing, Reverse transcriptase (RT)- PCR, q RT-PCR, FISH, Next-generation sequencing (NGS) targeted panels etc. Newer tools like Liquid biopsy, digital pathology, tissue biobanking, patients derived organoids are also briefly mentioned. The importance of integration of morphological pathology and molecular diagnostics and the need for trained Molecular Pathologist is emphasized here. Molecular pathology is currently of great importance, and is becoming increasingly significant as it enables more precise diagnosis and treatment selection. Hence, the ―molecular revolution‖ has deeply transformed cancer care, re-evaluating the role of the pathologic diagnoses as the backbone of the therapeutic decision-making process. Establishment of a multidisciplinary cancer institute with a single laboratory equipped with both diagnostics and research facilities is the need of the hour

Published: May 2024

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major lifestyle disease, with over 460 million patients in the world. Its effects on the human body and its progression have contributed to higher morbidity, mortality and healthcare resource utilization. History is replete with evidence of the devastating effects of DM. This led to immense research and development in understanding the disease better and finding it a suitable cure. The year 2021 marks a century to the discovery of the medical marvel-Insulin, that revolutionized the treatment of diabetes. Over these years, there have been constant efforts to mitigate the adverse effects related to insulin administration and to improve the ease of administration. The bothersome effects of insulin causing weight gain and hypoglycemia have shown to be a hurdle in its usage. These not only cause worsening of the disease process but also prove to be factors in patient compliance. Yet, the benefits have outweighed the adverse events. With the advent of molecular biotechnology, came the ability to alter the configuration of insulin and similar molecules. This along with increased grants in the field of insulin research led to the ongoing development of newer forms of insulin such as – glucose responsive insulin, oral insulins, thermostable insulin, once-weekly dosing insulin, inhaled insulin, etc. The future years hold major ground for redefining the place of insulin in the treatment of diabetes

Authors: Sengupta Aditi Munmun
Published: May 2024

Attention deficit hyperkinetic disorder (ADHD) is a life disability. It can be one reason for academic and school difficulties. ADHD can also lead to emotional or behavioural problems, difficulties with peer relationships, and family stress. Unrecognized and untreated, this disorder will interfere greatly with all aspects of the individual’s life; hence treatment interventions are to be considered at each phase of the individual’s life. Pranayama which includes a rhythmic breathing process has established itself as a part of a self- development program which helps stress management. Scientific studies have revealed the overall outcome of Yoga and meditation as an efficient process with increased connectivity in the different regions of the brain depending on the duration of the practice. Seeing and experiencing the benefits of these processes in adults, has inspired the therapists to try this method on children to rule out the cause of attention deficits in schools and in their homes. In this context, the application of slow rhythmic breathing techniques, and a combination of yoga and meditation can be used as a treatment alternative to lifelong medication in the treatment of ADHD is proposed in this article. This article also focusses on the supportive role of proper nutrition and diet in alleviating the symptoms of ADHD. The overall wellbeing with the advocacy of the techniques and measures which can prove beneficial in the long run has an effect on improving the quality of life of children with ADHD

CANOPY MANAGEMENT IN FRUIT CROPS
Authors: Zaman Fathema , Vishwakarma Govind , Pal Ranjit , Misra Sukanya , Singh Suneeta
Published: May 2024

The term "canopy" describes the physical structure of a fruit tree, which includes the stem, branches, shoot, and leaves. The density of the canopy is influenced by the number and size of the leaves. In order to improve fruit quality and productivity, canopy management has been used for years in fruiting trees. One of the main technologies for effectively managing large, unmanageable trees to increase their productivity is management of canopy architecture. Canopy management is the alteration of tree canopies to maximise their capacity for producing fruits of the highest quality. Canopy management is concerned with the growth and upkeep of the structure of fruit crops in relation to their size and form for optimal yield with high-quality fruits. Utilizing the numerous procedures like training, pruning (dormant, summer, and root pruning), branch orientation (bending), scoring, girdling, selection of the right rootstock, use of plant growth regulators, optimal use of fertiliser, deficit irrigation, and use of genetically modified plants with altered architectural features will help maximise the consumption of light for an increase in the yield of quality fruits. Maximizing light interception, enhancing light dispersion within the canopy, and maintaining optimum airflow are the key goals of canopy management. Canopy management increases output, boosts fruit quality, supports cultural traditions, and aids in pest and disease management

Baseline phase 1 (A1) obtained a mean level of 28%, intervention phase (B) obtained a mean level of 47%, and baseline phase 2 (A2) obtained a mean level of 46%. From the acquisition of the mean level, it can be seen that the mean level shown in baseline 1 with baseline 2 has increased significantly. This shows that the application of Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) through Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) media can improve the communication skills of autistic children
Cognitive Fusion, Self and Other-Blame, and College Adjustment Outcomes
Authors:   , Tipton Olivia
Published: May 2024

College students from socioeconomically challenging backgrounds are more likely to drop out of college before being awarded a bachelor’s degree. A challenging background predicts difficulties in emotion regulation, which may affect adjustment to college and, subsequently, persistence in college until a bachelor’s degree is awarded. Previous research has identified cognitive fusion, a state in which one unquestioningly believes the literal content of their thoughts, and inflexible usage of self and other-blame as predictors of negative social, psychological, and academic outcomes. The present study used self-report data collected from emerging adult college students at a small midwestern university to assess whether the presence of high cognitive fusion would increase the effects of self and other-blame usage on college adjustment outcomes. While none of the moderation models tested were significant, higher cognitive fusion was significantly associated with lower reports of psychological and social adjustment to college. The exploratory analyses conducted suggest that both childhood socioeconomic status and cognitive fusion influence college adjustment for emerging adults. Thus, interventions seeking to improve college persistence for students from challenging backgrounds may benefit from incorporating therapies that reduce cognitive fusion.
The Effects of Affiliation, Proximity to Suicide, and Religiosity on Suicide Acceptance
Authors:   , Gack Lindsey
Published: May 2024

As suicide becomes increasingly more prominent in the lives of people, research is being conducted to investigate causes, prevention, and even opinions on the topic. The impact of religious affiliation and religiosity on people’s acceptance of suicide was investigated in the current study. This was examined by using The Religious Commitment Inventory-10 (RCI-10; Worthington et al., 2003), the Semantic Differential Scale Attitudes Towards Suicidal Behavior (SEDAS; Jenner & Niesing, 2000), and the Proximity to Suicide Scale (PSS; self-constructed). Results indicated that a higher religiosity score was correlated with a more understanding viewpoint of an attempted/committed suicide. Results also showed that the closer someone is to an attempted/committed suicide, the more understanding they are of the attempt/committed suicide. However, it was found that there was no significant difference between the different religious affiliations regarding perception of suicide. Few studies—certainly not those carried out in the United States—address all four issues at once, therefore the current study fills a gap in the body of knowledge. The results of this study are important since suicide is stigmatized in many religions and because a large number of people in society experience suicidal thoughts.

Authors: Dinis Ana , Carvalho André , Pereira Liliana
Published: May 2024

This article aims to study the fiscal incentives for forest protection in Portugal. Understanding the reality of this fiscal policy is fundamental in the context of sustainable forest management. After reviewing the literature focused on the importance of the forest as an essential asset to meet human needs, the Portuguese tax regime in this area is analysed. This is followed by a study of tax incentives for Forest Intervention Areas (FIA) and Forest Management Plans (FMP) in the Portuguese business context in the period 2015-2020. The main results of the research show that companies connected to the sector have become more aware of the importance of adopting more sustainable practices, by adhering to these tax benefits over time, showing the role of environmental tax policy in the sustainable growth of the economic tissue. The results show that the number of beneficiary companies is reduced compared to the total number of companies operating in the forestry sector in Portugal, also verifying that most of these companies are concentrated in a small number of municipalities, some of which have no ZIF. Ther is still important work to be done with a view to greater dissemination of the tax benefits under study.

The precious anniversaries of the two catholic councils – 1470th anniversary of the second council of constantinople (553) and the 900th anniversary of the first lateran council (1123)
Authors: Dlugoš František
Published: May 2024

The Christian world and the Catholic Church are commemorating the anniversaries of two Councils of the Catholic Church. Although the two Councils were separated by 570 years, they were of great importance in developing religious life. The Councils took place in difficult historical epochs. The Church was wracked by its internal contradictions, and
pressures from the worldly powers of the time were bearing down on it from the outside.
In addition to the problems of the Catholic Church’s relations with the world, the study characterizes the significant figures of theology, spiritual life, and religious philosophy at the time. It pays particular attention to the contradictory popes who deepened rather than successfully resolved the crises of the time during their papal tenure. Despite all the vicissitudes of history, however, both councils strengthened the authority of the Church,
even though, for example, the Lateran Council did not adopt any final dogmas.
Probability theory in transport modelling process
Authors: Volner Ľubomír
Published: May 2024

Today’s world is accelerating and the need to transport goods and people is growing enormously. This leads to the need to think about the possibilities of transport systems with special attention to transport processes. The article presents a basic view of the possibility of modelling transport as such, with an emphasis on the basis of the theoretical possibility of a solution. Many of these external and internal forces produce fluctuations
so complex that we are forced to classify them as random and express them by the theory of probability. Therefore, it is important to create a dynamic theory that can predict the behaviour of the system under the influence of these fluctuating forces, and the prediction can be given by probabilistic expressions. This paper describes some basics for the probability features of transport models and also provides an application example of a practical application of probabilistic theory in traffic modelling.
Effect of Employee’s behavior towards organizational change on innovative work behavior in Bank employees with mediating effect of Employees’ involvement
Authors: Shevels Terry
Published: May 2024

The main purpose of conducting the study is to examine the impact of employees’ behavior towards the organizational change on innovative work behavior. Primary data of 250 respondents were collected from different banks of Punjab. Data is analyzed through different tools of SPSS. The results of this study highlight the importance of positive employees’ behavior towards organizational change on innovative work behavior. Additionally, employee’s involvement also enhances the relationship of employee’s behavior towards organizational change and innovative work behavior. However, employee’s involvement magnifies the positive behavior of employees towards innovative work behavior. Data was collected from employees in the banking sector, that’s why these results can’t be generalized in other sectors. For implications, organizations must give importance to their employees by involving them in the decisions making for the purpose of a positive response that results in innovative work behavior.

Empfohlene Struktur-Gleichung? Einfluss von strukturell passender Filmmusik auf Emotionen, immersives Filmerleben und Filmbewertung
Authors: Machulla Miguel , Mertens Friederike , Frank Alexander , Herget Ann-Kristin
Published: May 2024

Obwohl Expert*innen aus der Medienwelt immer wieder die Bedeutung struktureller Passung zwischen Musik- und Filmebene audiovisueller Medien betonen, gibt es bisher nur wenige Studien, die die möglichen Effekte struktureller Passung in den Fokus nehmen. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht daher die Auswirkungen struktureller Passung auf die Emotionalität, das räumliche Präsenzerleben und die allgemeine Filmbewertung. Basierend auf einem Arktisreisefilm (3 min) wurden drei Stimulusversionen mit verschiedenen Passungsgraden (konsonant, out-of-phase, dissonant) der Musik- und Filmebene für ein einfaktorielles between-subjects Online-Experiment erstellt. Musik, die strukturell besonders gut zum Film passt, kann die Gefühle der Rezipierenden beeinflussen—ANCOVAs (Kovariate: musikalische Vorbildung) zeigen signifikante Einflüsse für die Emotionen Transzendenz und Beruhigung. Strukturelle Passung kann ebenfalls bedingen, zu welchem Grad Rezipierende den Eindruck haben, körperlich in die Welt des Films einzutauchen. Dass eine strukturelle Passung von Musik und Film beeinflusst, wie Rezipierende den Film bewerten, konnte mit den vorliegenden Daten jedoch nicht gezeigt werden. Musikalische Vorbildung, als Kovariate, hatte keinen Einfluss. Die Ergebnisse des Experiments mit realistischer Rezeptionssituation lassen sich in den bisherigen Forschungsstand einordnen und deuten auf zumindest kleine Effekte der strukturellen Passung hin. Als Gründe für die zum Teil geringen gemessenen Unterschiede werden die Online-Durchführung und die komplexe Bearbeitung des Stimulusmaterials diskutiert. Für zukünftige Forschung in diesem bislang wenig beachteten Feld wird empfohlen, die Validität des Stimulusmaterials zu verbessern und weitere Kovariaten (wie Musikgeschmack, visuelle Expertise) zu berücksichtigen. Abschließend werden als mögliche Erklärungsansätze der Effekte struktureller Passung die Konzepte Fluency und Entrainment diskutiert.

Desafíos actuales a la seguridad caribeña
Authors: Klinger Pevida Eduardo
Published: May 2024

El Caribe, por su ubicación intermedia entre zonas productoras de drogas y los mercados consumidores, es una ruta obligada para los narcotraficantes. A su paso, dejan una secuela de crímenes, bandas criminales y múltiples manifestaciones del crimen organizado que están provocando en las sociedades regionales violencia y muerte. Dado los niveles de pobreza prevalecientes en el área a las naciones del Gran Caribe les faltan recursos para enfrentar al crimen organizado y generar prosperidad en sus pueblos. Los Estados Unidos, preocupado por la situación que se genera en su inmediatez geopolítica y siendo el destino predilecto de la droga promueve esquemas de cooperación operativa y socio-económica.
Aspectos de la geopolítica del Estado y la defensa nacional en República Dominicana
Authors: De León Rodríguez, ERD General de Brigada Luis Francisco
Published: May 2024

República Dominicana forma parte de la isla Española, ocupando las dos ter­ceras partes de la misma. El crisol de razas que coincidieron en ella durante su proceso de conquista y colonización dio origen al mestizaje y la conjunción de las costumbres de esos componentes, unidos a sus valores y creencias, derivó en el surgimiento de la cultura dominicana. La principal importancia desde el pun­to de vista geopolítico, reside en la ubicación de la misma, que le permite tener una serie de ventajas, especialmente desde la óptica económica. Se caracteriza para la variedad de ecosistemas y por la biodiversidad, tanto en territorio terres­tre como marítimo.

educación en tecnología aplicada a la seguridad y defensa en el siglo XXI
Authors: Tavárez Rodríguez, PhD Ing. José Armando
Published: May 2024

Las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC) aplicadas a la seguridad y defensa se convierten en una realidad imperante en el mundo digital en que vi­vimos. El incremento constante de las amenazas y los ataques en el ciberespacio obligan a los gobiernos y diferentes organismos de seguridad pública y privada a desarrollar innovaciones tecnológicas y acciones de formación que permitan incrementar un frente de ciberdefensa que permita incrementar la seguridad de los ciudadanos que toca defender y proteger.
En el curso de los últimos treinta años el mundo se ha digitalizado de manera progresiva. Se ha producido un desarrollo importante de ecosistemas de inno­vación y desarrollo en torno al tema de cómo podemos generar innovaciones tecnológicas que puedan ser aplicadas a la seguridad y la defensa. Es por eso que diferentes actores deben trabajar de manera coordinada para asegurar una estra­tegia de ciberseguridad que permita la construcción de un ciberespacio cada vez más seguro.
El presente artículo se enfoca en analizar la necesidad creciente de profesionales especializados en seguridad informática o ciberseguridad y la respuesta que es­tán dando a esta realidad las diferentes instituciones educativas a nivel nacional e internacional, así como los organismos de gobierno. Se describe a modo de panorama general la realidad educativa nacional en lo que tiene que ver con pro­gramas formales de educación en materia de tecnologías aplicadas a la seguridad y defensa, así como el correspondiente marco legal que la sustenta.

Tecnologías digitales y los riesgos de la cibernética en la seguridad nacional
Authors: Gómez de Ágreda Coronel Ángel
Published: May 2024

Internet, esa herramienta que empleamos a diario para las más diversas actividades, es también un ecosistema en el que convivi­mos y en el que nos relacionamos. Fruto de esa actividad social y política, la guerra está también presente en el ciberespacio. El mundo digital trae consigo modos más eficientes de gestionar los conflictos y cambia sus características al alterar el escenario en el que tienen lugar. Sin embargo, más allá de las nuevas formas de amenaza que surgen de las redes, la principal alteración que se está produciendo es la desintermediación entre los productos y los consumidores. Esto supone un desafío al modelo de gobernanza en su conjunto y no solo a la estabilidad de gobiernos concretos.
