Research on the impact of WTO trade policy review mechanism (TPRM) on the employability of Chinese college students during the economic structural transformation of its member countries
Authors: Yang Haixia
Published: October 2024

The WTO TPRM is a very important machinery where the WTO members submit for evaluation their trade policies and structures as well as their economic reforms. This research used secondary evidence from employment reports, government statistics and various industry research and employed expert policy and economic opinion. It analyses employment rates prior to and after the implementation of the “mass entrepreneurship and mass innovation” policy and the policy of integrated enterprise-school and university-enterprise. In total,  the general sample consists of 500 students half of whom are male and the other half are female. The employment rates stands at an average of 78% among the students. In terms of the standard deviation, the figure is equal to 9.3% which he described as moderate variability of employment outcomes. . Similarly the analysis reveals a positive relationship between GPA, entrepreneurial intention and participation in vocational programs on employability ( p < 0. 001). The coefficient for entrepreneurial intention is especially significant (β = 0. 38), which means that students, who had entrepreneurial intentions, are more likely to be employed. Employment prospects for college students were found to be especially enhanced through adoption of the above policies showing a very strong implication of education and training to economic needs especially during structural change. This study has implication for policy formation and course offering for higher institutions of learning to enhance the employment status of graduates in the current world economy.

Unpacking the Dynamics of Online Motivation: A Study of Short-Term Changes in Task Value and Cost Utilizing Multiple Change Analyses
Authors: Edwards Ordene V.
Published: October 2024

Motivation is critical to student success in learning environments. However, changes in situation-specific motivation over time are rarely explored among online learners. Drawing from the Situated Expectancy Theory (SEVT), in the current study, I examined changes in situational task-specific task value and cost over the short term and tested the impact of these changes on achievement. I collected task value and cost over four time points from 68 students in an upper-division online Educational Psychology course. Grades on two discussion posts and one exam represented academic performance. I used multiple analytic techniques, scarcely used in the literature, to measure change across time, including task value-cost switching and group and individual-level task value-cost intensity. Group-level intensity analyses revealed task value and cost stability across most time point comparisons. However, individual-level analysis demonstrated variability in task value and cost across comparisons. There was no evidence of task value or cost switching. One significant increase in cost across tasks predicted academic performance in the subsequent assessment. The study highlights the importance of using various techniques to explore motivational changes among online learners and demonstrates the applicability of SEVT in online learning environments.

RESEARCH OF METHODS AND ALGORITHMS FOR REDUCING FUZZY RULES IN MODELS FOR ASSESSING THE DISCRETE STATE OF OBJECTS
Authors:   Kazan National Research Technical University named after A.N. Tupolev, DAGAEVA M.V.
Published: October 2024

The article describes the stages and results of the study of methods and genetic algorithms used to reduce fuzzy rules in models for assessing the discrete state of objects. Such models are fuzzy knowledge bases and fuzzy logical inference algorithms. A study was conducted of the influence of the parameter values of genetic algorithms on the results of reduction of the initial and intermediate knowledge bases (on the reduction of the number of rules in the knowledge bases and on the values of classification quality metrics). The following stages of research were implemented: selection of data sets from publicly available sources, formation of research knowledge bases, study of the influence of genetic algorithm parameter values on the results of knowledge base reduction, analysis of research results and development of recommendations for choosing optimal values of genetic algorithm parameters to achieve the best reduction results. Data for analysis was obtained from the public source UCI Machine Learning Repository. The selected sets are: Iris, Banknote Authentication and User Knowledge Modeling. To create research knowledge bases, the software package “Neuro-fuzzy system for generating fuzzy models for assessing the discrete state of objects” was used. Based on the analysis of the Iris data set, 3 research knowledge bases were formed, including 269, 339 and 542 fuzzy rules. For the Banknote Authentication data set, corresponding knowledge bases with 335, 643 and 1038 fuzzy rules were generated. For the User Knowledge Modeling set - with 877, 2094 and 2797 rules. For each of the knowledge bases, the values of the classification quality metrics Accuracy, Precision, Recall and F1-Score were calculated on the training and test samples. The reduction of knowledge bases was carried out in two successive stages, at each of which the corresponding genetic algorithm was used. Based on the results of the research, recommendations were developed for choosing the optimal values of the parameters of each of the genetic algorithms. The reduction of research knowledge bases based on the developed methods and algorithms made it possible to significantly reduce the number of their fuzzy rules (by an average of 85%) and at the same time slightly increase the generalizing ability of fuzzy models (by an average of 1.5%). In general, this made it possible to reduce the complexity of fuzzy models and their constituent knowledge bases, increase the accuracy of estimating the discrete state of objects and improve the interpretability of the generated solutions.

The interaction between endophytic fungi and phytochemicals in the dominant mangroves (Rhizophora mangle, Lacugularia racemosa, and Avicennia africana) of the Iko River Estuary in Nigeria was investigated. Standard analytical procedures were employed to measure antioxidant levels, while endophytic fungi were isolated, morphologically characterized, and identified using culture-dependent methods. The study identified various bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, saponins, tannins/phenols, flavonoids, deoxy-sugars, cardiac glycosides, and steroids, with their concentrations varying depending on the mangrove species and plant parts. Alkaloids were present in all mangrove samples, with particularly high concentrations in the leaves of white (5%) and red (4.2%) mangroves. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to analyze the interaction between the endophytic fungi and phytochemicals, revealing a distinct affinity of certain fungal species for specific antioxidants in the mangroves. Fungal species such as Phoma sp., Rhizopus arrhizus, Aspergillus niger, and others exhibited a negative relationship with tannins, flavonoids, deoxysugars, and cardiac glycosides, but a positive affinity for saponins, alkaloids, and steroids. Conversely, Candida pseudotropicalis, Fusarium oxysporum, P. italicum, and others showed a positive affinity for tannins, flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, and deoxysugars, but a negative affinity for alkaloids, saponins, and steroids. Notably, Absidia sp. was the only frequently isolated species with a strong correlation (r value ≥75 at a 95% confidence limit) with deoxy-sugars, while Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus terreus, and Absidia sp. demonstrated significant relationships with alkaloids, saponins, and steroids. These phytochemicals, which serve as precursors to antioxidants with promising biotechnological applications, likely play a crucial role in determining the association of endophytic fungi with deltaic mangroves in Nigeria.

Property crimes in rural municipalities

Criminologists, also in the Netherlands, traditionally focus their research primarily on urban areas. This, however, does not imply that rural areas are not confronted with crime problems. This paper first addresses the question what in the Dutch context should be understood by the term rural and then analyses property crimes in rural municipalities and local teams of the National Police. The paper is based on public data published by the Central Bureau of Statistics and the police. The findings replicate results of previous research which concluded that urbanisation is an important factor in explaining crime rates, which are generally lower in non-urban areas. This does, however, not imply that all types of property crime occur less in every individual rural municipality or police team. Some rural municipalities and non-urban police teams seem more susceptible to this than others, and further research is required to explain these differences.

This paper is devoted to the production of π-and K0 mesons from π-+p→π-+X and π-+C→π-,K0+X interactions at 40 GeV/c as a function of the square of four momentum transfer. The cut parameter of the strong coupling constant is taken as Λac2=ma2+mc2. Values of the strong coupling constant are then compared to leading-order and next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculations for the first time. Agreement between the experimental data and theory is good, thus providing a precision test of QCD at large momentum transfers (q). The strong coupling constant αs is extracted as a function of q, showing a good agreement with the renormalisation group equation and with previous analyses. As the momentum transfers increases, the running coupling constant decreases. For each high-energy interaction, a quantity called the cut parameter is chosen differently depending on the secondary particles produced by the reaction. For each high-energy interaction, a quantity called the cut parameter is chosen differently depending on the secondary particles produced by the reaction.

Published: October 2024

The national food security system in our country is not established well and continues to remain weak. Failures within the system have caused malfunctions and distortions in government policy implementation, leading to unexpected policy shifts. These faults are the main causes of time loss, inter-agency misunderstandings, lack of coordination, information flow deficiencies, and a shortage of skilled human resources. These issues can have a negative impact on food security in Mongolia, resulting in the shortfall of government policy implementation. Coordination of food security activities among government organizations in Mongolia has been unsatisfactory due to the weak system. Government services have not adequately reached organizations at the middle and primary levels in the Mongolian rural provinces. This research paper aims to evaluate the national food security situation based on policies in Mongolia's food sector over the past decade, their implementation, encountered problems, and involved stakeholders. The research findings show that our country's food security system is not well-established, leading to compromised food security, highlighting the urgent need for developing necessary legal and policy documents to effectively implement state food security policy.
Assessing the Role of Debate-Centered Pedagogies in Promoting Tolerance in Higher Education
Authors: Shaukat Bilal , Ahmad Jamil , Faheem Muhammad
Published: October 2024

The study aimed to highlight the power of dialogue in uncovering the connection between classroom debate, discussion, and tolerance among students. The study was conducted at the University of Peshawar, focusing on undergraduate students from all academic faculties. The researchers utilized a triangulation method to analyze both qualitative and quantitative data. For quantitative data, the researchers used an interpersonal tolerance scale that was already available. This scale measured the level of tolerance among the students. On the other hand, qualitative data was collected through ten Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with the same group of students. The FGDs allowed for in-depth exploration of various themes related to the learning process, including students' emotional expression, seating arrangement, connectivity, creativity, acceptability, tolerance, confidence-building, the urge for reasoning, curiosity, self-satisfaction, dispute settlement, and communication skills. The findings of the study indicate that in the teacher-centered approach to the learning process adopted by the university, students are not encouraged to participate in discussions and debates, both in general and on sensitive issues. This lack of participation hinders the development of tolerance among students. The study suggests that fostering an environment that promotes dialogue, debate, and discussion is crucial for cultivating tolerance among students.
Cultural Differences: When Hospitals Own Practices
Authors: Capko Judy
Published: October 2024

This article investigates the challenges faced by a respected hospital system after acquiring three medical practices. Despite financial stability, these practices struggled to adapt to hospital ownership, resulting in decreased performance, morale, and patient satisfaction. The core issue identified was a cultural clash between the hospital’s structured business model and the more flexible, informal management style of the practices. The article underscores the importance of understanding cultural differences and setting clear expectations in hospital-practice partnerships. By addressing these issues early, organizations can avoid frustration and build a cooperative, goal-oriented environment. The goal is to develop a trusting relationship between the hospital and its acquired practices, resulting in improved performance and satisfaction for all stakeholders.

Este trabalho objetivou descrever o perfil de criação e manejo de treinamento dos cavalos da raça Mangalarga Marchador (MM) envolvidos nas competições locais e identificar possíveis fatores de risco para doenças. Realizado no Parque Municipal Presidente Tancredo Neves, o levantamento incluiu entrevistas com 51 responsáveis pela criação e manejo dos cavalos entre novembro de 2023 e março de 2024. Das 66 variáveis analisadas, foram enfatizados o perfil de criação e manejo de treinamento. Os resultados mostraram que os objetivos de criação mais frequentemente citados foram competição, lazer e reprodução (31,37%), com 64,71% dos entrevistados criando exclusivamente cavalos da raça MM, que passavam a maior parte do tempo embaiados. O treinamento dos cavalos era realizado três vezes por semana (68,63%), com duração de até uma hora (70,58%), iniciando-se entre 2,5 e 3 anos de idade em 76,47% dos casos. O surgimento de lesões musculoesqueléticas foi o principal motivo de aposentadoria precoce. Os fatores de risco associados as práticas inadequadas de manejo incluíram estresse do confinamento e as lesões musculoesqueléticas, ressaltando a importância de práticas baseadas em evidências científicas. O conhecimento do perfil de criação e de treinamento é fundamental para aprimorar as práticas de manejo, visando garantir o bem-estar e o desempenho atlético dos cavalos.

Published: October 2024

Chitin is considered the second most important biopolymer in nature, both for its physiological functions in different organisms and for its high availability in the biosphere. However, its natural accumulation does not occur in the environment, this demonstrates that there are natural mechanisms responsible for its degradation. The chitinolytic enzymes found in living beings are targets of great biotechnological interest because they degrade chitin into useful derivatives for various sectors of the economy. Given this, this study aimed to extract RNA for subsequent molecular characterization of chitinases from the fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa. To this end, the fungus was cultivated in WY medium, remaining in the greenhouse for 10-14 days. After growth, RNA was extracted using the traditional Trizol method and the Direct-zol commercial kit. The resulting samples were analyzed using the spectrophotometric technique and verified by photodocumentation after agarose electrophoresis. It was observed that the culture medium was considered satisfactory for RNA extraction and the ideal growth time was 8-10 days for the strain to present sufficient mycelial mass for extraction. Furthermore, the commercial kit used was more favorable than the traditional Trizol method, the product had a low level of contaminants and electrophoresis demonstrated high RNA quality due to the presence of intact rRNA bands. Therefore, as it was extracted from cultivation in a medium that induces chitinase production, the RNA extraction described becomes the most suitable method for the molecular characterization of chitinase production.

Published: October 2024

Embora o uso da chamada telemedicina tenha sido estimulado por conta dos reveses da Covid-19, ainda existem no Brasil obstáculos que impedem uma expansão desta vertente de atendimento na área da saúde. O estudo apresenta como objetivo geral analisar sobre a aplicabilidade da telemedicina na saúde mental. No que tange a metodologia, optou-se pela prática de uma revisão sistemática de literatura, em bases de dados como SciELO, LILACS e Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde – BVS. O recorte temporal adotado foi entre os anos de 2019 e 2024. Os resultados apontaram que há casos em que a telemedicina foi adotada com sucesso no período mais agudo da pandemia de Covid-19, sendo a continuidade dos teleatendimentos em saúde mental recomendada pelos estudos encontrados na literatura. Há também casos em que a telessaúde foi implementada para cuidar dos profissionais de saúde, os quais no cenário pandêmico se viram diante de um cenário desafiador e estressante de trabalho.  O estudo conclui que, embora a telemedicina não substitua por completo os atendimentos presenciais, o seu fortalecimento é necessário para que mais pessoas tenham acesso a serviços de saúde. Soma-se a isso a necessidade de melhora quanto a infraestrutura tecnológica, segurança tanto para os dados como também para os médicos em relação a questões éticas envoltas na prática destes atendimentos.

Published: October 2024

O diabetes mellitus tipo 1 é uma doença que faz com que a pessoa apresente alto teor de açúcar no sangue, manifestando-se principalmente em jovens. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma revisão de literatura, em artigos científicos, dissertações e documentos eletrônicos do ministério da saúde, visando descrever o papel da enfermagem no diabetes juvenil. Este trabalho trata-se de uma revisão de literatura que foi desenvolvida seguindo algumas etapas, como: escolha do tema a ser trabalhado; levantamento de documentos eletrônicos do ministério da saúde e artigos científicos, que continham informações acerca do tema a ser estudado; aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão nas pesquisas realizadas; extração das informações necessárias e pertinentes ao tema; análise dos dados; e interpretação dos resultados. O diagnóstico dessa doença traz dúvidas, incertezas, revoltas e desespero à toda família, principalmente por não saberem como lidar com essa situação. Por esse motivo, faz se necessário que haja uma educação em diabetes, que não deve se limitar apenas aos hospitais, mas também em outros ambientes, como a escola. Para isso, a equipe de enfermagem possui papel fundamental, pois além de acolher e orientar os pais, esses profissionais são responsáveis por ações e procedimentos acerca do tratamento dessa doença, e também são os que têm maior contato com o paciente. Conclui-se então que, o diabetes mellitus tipo 1 é uma doença grave que afeta, em sua maioria, crianças e adolescentes, e se não tratada pode levar à morte. Por isso, o profissional de enfermagem desempenha papel fundamental, não apenas nos cuidados clínicos com os pacientes, mas também na orientação sobre prevenção, adoção de uma dieta balanceada, utilização correta da insulina e entre outros.

Published: October 2024

Este estudo investiga as dificuldades enfrentadas por professores de inglês no ensino de pronúncia em escolas públicas do interior da Bahia, pertencentes ao Núcleo Territorial de Educação da Bacia do Rio Corrente (NTE 23). A pesquisa quantitativa foi realizada com 25 professores, buscando compreender suas percepções sobre o ensino de pronúncia, o uso de Fonética e Fonologia e as práticas pedagógicas adotadas. Os resultados indicam que, embora 84% dos professores reconheçam a importância da pronúncia para a comunicação eficiente, a maioria se sente despreparada para abordar o tema devido à falta de conhecimento teórico e insegurança com a própria pronúncia. Apenas 16% dos professores afirmaram trabalhar de forma satisfatória com a pronúncia em sala de aula, evidenciando uma lacuna significativa na formação docente e na prática pedagógica. O estudo aponta para a necessidade de reformulações curriculares e investimento em formação continuada que contemplem metodologias eficazes para o ensino de pronúncia.

Authors:   Biochemistry Department, Kartal Dr Lütfi Kırdar City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey., Simsek Beyza Nur
Published: October 2024

Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD) represents a rare hemolytic disorder, constituting 15-30% of cases within the spectrum of Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemias (AIHAs) [1,2]. The pathogenesis of CAD revolves around autoantibodies known as Cold Agglutinins (CAs), named for their capacity to induce erythrocyte agglutination at temperatures below 37°C. Those autoantibodies typically consist of monoclonal Immunoglobulin (Ig) M type, less commonly IgA or IgG, and they target the carbohydrate antigens on the erythrocyte surface, predominantly antigen I [3-5].

Authors: Jayawibawa Marcellus Hakeng
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the evolution of criminal law in Indonesia, focusing on the impact of technological advancements, social shifts, and political changes on the justice system. Utilizing a qualitative research design, including in-depth interviews with legal experts and practitioners, as well as comprehensive document analysis, the research reveals significant trends and patterns in recent legal reforms. Findings indicate that the introduction of procedural standards, such as those outlined in Regulation No. 6 of 2019, has enhanced the transparency and efficiency of criminal investigations. Additionally, the shift towards rehabilitative and restorative justice approaches reflects changing societal attitudes towards crime and punishment. However, challenges persist in fully implementing these reforms and integrating technological advancements into existing legal frameworks. The study concludes that while these reforms contribute positively to the justice system, further research is needed to assess their long-term impacts and practical applications. Recommendations for future research include examining the effectiveness of restorative justice practices and the integration of emerging technologies. For legal practitioners, adapting to these changes and incorporating new technologies and rehabilitative approaches into legal practice are crucial for improving justice outcomes. This research provides valuable insights into the ongoing transformation of criminal law and offers guidance for both scholarly inquiry and practical application in the field of criminal justice.

The 1945 Constitution of Indonesia guarantees citizens' fundamental rights, including security and privacy. However, the rapid advancement of information technology has introduced new challenges for personal data protection. Currently, Indonesia's regulations, such as the Electronic Information and Transaction Law (ITE Law), lack comprehensive measures to safeguard data privacy rights, as they are sectoral and fragmented. This article highlights the necessity of enacting the Personal Data Protection Bill (RUU PDP) as a crucial step in strengthening the legal framework for data privacy protection in Indonesia. Additionally, it compares international regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, as well as data protection laws in neighboring countries like Singapore and Malaysia. The article underscores that prioritizing the protection of personal data privacy rights is essential for safeguarding constitutional rights and individual dignity, as well as for fostering a secure and trustworthy digital ecosystem in Indonesia.

Published: October 2024

This article explores the influence of environmental legislation on corporate social responsibility in Indonesia. It aims to clarify the regulatory framework surrounding corporate social responsibility, assess how failure to adhere to environmental laws affects corporate reputation and performance, and identify the difficulties companies encounter while implementing corporate social responsibility. The research adopts a normative legal perspective, involving a thorough examination of pertinent laws and regulations, including the 1945 Constitution, Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies, and Government Regulation Number 47 of 2012. Data gathered through desk research and descriptive legal analysis provides a detailed understanding of the relationship between legal frameworks and corporate social responsibility practices in Indonesia. The findings indicate that the corporate social responsibility regulatory framework encourages companies to meet environmental legal requirements, positively impacting corporate reputation. Conversely, non-compliance can damage reputation and public perception, consequently affecting financial outcomes. Companies also face various obstacles in implementing corporate social responsibility, such as insufficient regulatory support and limited resources. Recommendations for companies include enhancing education on corporate social responsibility and fostering collaboration with stakeholders to develop sustainable business practices. These insights are valuable not only for Indonesia but also for other nations examining the link between environmental legislation and corporate social responsibility.

This study examines the implementation of decentralization in Lingga, Indonesia, focusing on the performance of the local government (Pemda) and its impacts on community engagement and public service delivery. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, the research reveals both significant successes and ongoing challenges associated with decentralization. While increased local autonomy has fostered greater community participation and responsiveness to local needs, persistent issues such as financial dependency, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and geographic isolation hinder effective governance. The findings highlight disparities in public service access, particularly for marginalized communities in remote areas. The study contributes to the broader discourse on decentralization by emphasizing the need for context-specific policies that address local realities. Based on these insights, several policy recommendations are proposed, including enhanced financial support for local governments, capacity-building initiatives for local officials, and the development of inclusive governance mechanisms. These measures aim to strengthen the implementation of decentralization in Lingga, ensuring that it delivers equitable and effective governance outcomes for all residents.

This study investigates the impact of information technology on the effectiveness of government services in Lingga Regency, focusing on the role of technological infrastructure, information technology usage, and government policy support. A quantitative approach was employed, using total sampling with 30 employees from the North Lingga District Office as respondents. Data were analyzed using Smart PLS to test the relationships between variables. The results show that both the quality of technological infrastructure and the use of information technology have a significant positive effect on the effectiveness of government services. Furthermore, government policy support was found to moderate the relationship between infrastructure quality and service effectiveness, enhancing the impact of infrastructure investments on public service delivery. However, the moderating effect of policy support on the use of IT was weaker, indicating that IT can directly improve service effectiveness without extensive policy intervention. These findings highlight the importance of investing in both infrastructure and IT, while also developing supportive policies to sustain long-term improvements in government services. This research provides practical insights for policymakers and government officials in optimizing public administration through strategic technology integration.

Nuevo desafío del MINSAL a 100 Años de su creación: el sistema de cuidados de largo plazo para personas mayores
Authors: Urriola Urbina Rafael
Published: October 2024

Este documento tiene por objeto destacar los nuevos desafíos del Ministerio de Salud (Minsal) en el siglo XXI, especialmente relacionados con el concepto de “salud en todas las políticas” que se expresan en la intersectorialidad de las intervenciones para lograr mayor eficiencia. Esto potencia la relación de las actividades de salud con la seguridad social. Esto se ejemplifica con el sistema de cuidados de largo plazo (CLP). Las funciones del Minsal se han desarrollado incrementalmente en la historia.
En la segunda parte se presenta lo que debiese ser un sistema de CLP para personas mayores (PM) en Chile: se ha hecho una revisión bibliográfica internacional importante para rescatar soluciones, especialmente financieras, para concurrir a la asistencia a las personas que necesitan de CLP.  El desafío es de gran envergadura y algunos países han debido postergar o reducir objetivos.  
Se concluye que la atención a las PM que necesitan CLP no son solo sanitarios y requieren una coordinación de diversas instancias del sistema público y municipal para lograr mayor eficiencia en el bienestar de la población. Asimismo, los recursos necesarios son muy superiores a lo que hoy se dispone para los CLP.
