Authors: Kinyanjui Benjamin , Ndoro Pauline , Nabea Wendo
Published: September 2024

Purpose: Terrorism is a global threat that has prompted extensive research, with mass media playing a crucial role in reporting such events. This study investigated the compositional elements of photographic coverage of the Westgate Mall terrorist attack in Nairobi, Kenya, on September 21, 2013.
Methodology: Photographs from the Daily Nation, Standard, and New York Times were analysed. Using qualitative descriptive research and content analysis through MaxQDA software, the study identified patterns and themes in the images, focusing on denotative, stylistic-semiotic, connotative, and ideological representations.
Findings: It was found that camera angles, shot proximity, and image sizes were strategically used by photojournalists to convey messages and emotions. Large images on front pages provided visual appeal, while medium and small images added content and facilitated sensationalized storytelling. Shot proximity varied to deliver specific messages, with few close-ups used to avoid evoking sombre emotions or aiding terrorist propaganda.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study contributes to the existing mass media research by highlighting the importance of thoughtful image selection and composition in responsible photojournalism to balance accurate reporting with mitigating potential harm.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Spasticity is a pervasive and debilitating condition. Anti-spastic medications like Baclofen and Diazepam are most commonly used for spasticity management. Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of Baclofen with that of Diazepam in the management of spasticity following acquired spinal cord injuries. Methods: In this randomised open-label study involving 60 patients, 30 patients received 5 mg of oral Baclofen thrice daily and 30 patients received 5 mg of oral Diazepam thrice daily for the management of spasticity. The extent of spasticity was measured by Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). The efficacy of these drugs was measured with the mean improvement in the above parameters on days 7, 14, 28, 56 and 90 from the start of pharmacotherapy. Results: Baseline muscle spasticity scores were comparable. At the endpoint, mean improvement in tone of right and left hip flexors (1.43 vs. 0.87), hip adductors (1.30 vs. 0.87), knee flexors (0.80 vs. 0.37), ankle plantar flexors (0.80 vs. 0.37) and ankle dorsiflexors (1.23 vs. 0.93) were significantly higher in Baclofen group (p<0.05), while the tone of right and left hip abductors, hip and knee extensors showed no significant difference among the groups. Conclusion: Baclofen was found to be superior to Diazepam in terms of efficacy, especially for flexor spasticity of lower limbs in acquired spinal cord injuries.

Authors: OBAID ALENEZI SALEH , MOHD ISA SALMI
Published: September 2024

Many studies indicated that technological, organizational, and environmental organizational predictors as the key determinants for attitudes toward the adoption of E-commerce. However, a few studies focus on the innovativeness of these relationships. This study focuses on the moderating effect of innovativeness on the relationship between attitude toward the adoption of E-commerce and its determinants. Data were collected from 259 SME owners/managers through a self-administered questionnaire, and structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. The results identified perceived relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, organizational readiness, IT knowledge, competitive pressure, and supplier and customer pressure as important drivers of managers' attitudes toward E-commerce adoption. Furthermore, the findings indicated a stronger positive relationship between compatibility, competitive pressure, and attitude for managers with high innovativeness as opposed to low levels of innovativeness. These results supported the view that innovativeness can shape managers' attitudes toward E-commerce adoption. The results will help SME owners/managers to plan and promote E-commerce adoption and grow their businesses. Governments can use the results of this research to develop more focused policies to encourage more favourable E-commerce adoption attitudes among managers of SMEs.

Published: September 2024

The study aimed to investigate the formation of immunological memory to Salmonella antigens in cows using different phenotypes of T-lymphocyte populations. The study was conducted on farms in Kazakhstan and Latvia. As part of the study, blood samples were collected from cows vaccinated against Salmonella to analyse T-lymphocyte phenotypes. A comparative study of different phenotypes of T-cell populations, including CD4+, CD8+, γδ T-cells and effector T-cells (CD45RA+ and CD45RA-), was conducted to assess their role in the formation of immunological memory. Flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to quantify T-cell populations and levels of specific antibodies. The main results showed that vaccination causes a significant increase in the population of CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes, which correlates with an increase in the level of specific antibodies to Salmonella antigens. The γδ T-cell population also showed significant activation, indicating their potential role in the formation of an immune response to Salmonella. Particular attention was devoted to effector cells of T-lymphocytes: CD45RA+ cells were actively involved in the primary immune response to Salmonella antigens, while CD45RA cells showed high activity during repeated exposure to the antigen, indicating their key role in maintaining longterm immunological memory. Comparative analysis of data from Kazakhstan and Latvia showed similar trends, indicating the universality of the observed immunological mechanisms. These findings highlight the importance of including different T-cell phenotypes in vaccination programmes to ensure more effective immunological memory in cows. Thus, this study provides valuable data on the role of different T-lymphocyte populations in the formation of immunological memory to Salmonella antigens in cows, which may contribute to the development of more effective vaccine programmes and improve the health and productivity of livestock in the regions of Kazakhstan and Latvia

Published: September 2024

The improvement of agricultural crop cultivation technologies enables the production of high sunflower yields with high-quality indicators. One such element is pre-sowing seed treatment. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a plant growth regulator supplemented with calcium on the sowing properties of sunflower seeds. The experiment was conducted under laboratory conditions. For pre-sowing seed treatment, a semi-synthetic film-forming agent with an anti-stress effect was used, which was modified with Ca2+ ions in the form of calcium chloride. It was established that the encrustation of sunflower seed with a growth regulator stimulates germination processes and activates the initial stages of sunflower organogenesis. This increases the indicators of germinative vigour and germination capacity. Adding calcium to the plant growth regulator contributes to a further increase in the indicators of germinative vigour and seed germination capacity of sunflowers by 5.4% and 7.7%, respectively, compared to the control. At the same time, the hypocotyl length increased by 1.51 times compared to the control, while the root length increased by 1.37 times. The accumulation of organic substances in sunflower seedlings is characterised by an increase in dry matter. When calcium was added to the plant growth regulator, a more intensive accumulation of dry matter in the hypocotyl and root was observed compared to the control and the variant using only the growth regulator. The establishment of a ranking range indicated that, based on the parameters studied, the optimal treatment option for the pre-sowing treatment of sunflower seeds is the application of a plant growth regulator containing calcium ions at a concentration of 1.0 g/L. The use of this preparation is relevant and promising for studying the formation of sunflower plant productivity with increased quality indicators under field conditions

Goma-Arábica: produção saheliana, demanda atlântica, poder senegambiano (séc. XVII)
Authors: Silveira de Oliveira Malacco Felipe
Published: September 2024

Este artigo analisa a produção e comércio de goma arábica na região da Senegâmbia, destacando o papel dos poderes políticos locais na condução das transações comerciais com os agentes atlânticos e com agentes comerciais de outras regiões do continente africano. A commoditie, extraída de árvores de acácia, era uma mercadoria versátil utilizada na Europa e na África para diversos fins, desde a indústria têxtil até a fabricação de alimentos e medicamentos. Agentes saarianos traziam a goma para os portos do rio Senegal, onde era comercializada com europeus. Embora os poderes senegambianos não estivessem envolvidos diretamente na produção da goma, eles se beneficiavam do comércio em seu território, impondo taxas e impostos aos comerciantes saarianos e atlânticos. A complexa dinâmica comercial entre agentes atlânticos e africanos vai além do comércio de escravos, e a goma-arábica destaca-se como uma importante mercadoria no comércio atlântico na África Ocidental durante a Era Moderna. Com esta análise, busca-se revelar a influência dos poderes políticos locais na condução do comércio atlântico e evidencia a importância econômica da goma-arábica na região, bem como sua relevância como um produto de comércio internacional.
The labour migration of the Ovambo workers to the diamond fields in German South West Africa
Authors: Rudolph Mona Michaela
Published: September 2024

The extraction of several hundred thousand carats of rough diamonds per year in German South West Africa would have been inconceivable without indigenous workers from the Ovamo region. Each year, thousands of migrant workers from the north of the German colony migrated to the diamond fields to engage in diamond mining and wage labour. The Ovambo workers typically entered into short-term employment contracts for six or nine months before returning to their home regions to focus on farming and harvesting for the rest of the year. This article examines the migrant labour of the Ovambo on the diamond fields of German South West Africa from 1908 to 1914. It focuses on the agency of the indigenous miners, the reasons for their migration, and their social profile. Additionally, it explores the interconnections that arose due to the labour migration of the Ovambo between their home regions and the diamond fields, along with their resulting implications.

Kutafuta Maisha: Connections Between Agency and Structure in Makonde Migratory Labour from Mozambique to Tanzania (ca. 1907-1964)
Authors: Barradas Correia Castro Bastos Felipe , Torrão Busin Clara
Published: September 2024

The drive for making colonial territories “profitable” through various means, such as commodity extraction, got entangled with complex events that stood well beyond the intervening capacity of colonial administrators, and labour migration was no exception. This article analyses Makonde migration from Northern Mozambique toward sisal plantations in neighbouring British Tanganyika during the twentieth century and argues that the interweaving of written and oral sources renders two contrasting pictures: one of an orderly planned commodity sector mediated by industrial pundits and sustained by a rhetoric of colonial “development”; and another of spontaneous, haphazard yet rational life decisions undertaken by migrant men and women. We challenge the conventional take on African labour migration by discussing a much more complex picture that shows how the colonial labour migration system had to address the migrants’ needs and how migrants successfully subverted coercive structures for their benefit, and by doing so, Makonde migrants established their own transformative connections with global phenomena that outreached their participation in commodity production chains
Evaluation of the quality of life and the incidence of stress urinary incontinence in nulliparous women training selected sports: a cross-sectional survey pilot study
Authors: Tarczewska Anna , Kołodyńska Gabriela , Zalewski Maciej , Mucha Anna , Piątek Aleksandra , Andrzejewski Waldemar
Published: September 2024

Introduction

The number of women suffering from urinary incontinence is increasing every year. The most common type of this condition is stress urinary incontinence. Involuntary leakage of urine occurs when sneezing, coughing, laughing, and standing up, as well as during physical activity. The problem of urinary incontinence is very embarrassing for athletes and affects their sports performance. The aim of the study was to assess the occurrence of urinary incontinence symptoms in women regularly training in selected sports.

Methods

64 women athletes were selected for the study. This pilot study involved women training in athletics (short-distance running, long-distance running, hurdles and jumping (high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault), basketball, volleyball, or strength sports). Women were selected based on sample size calculation from those training in specified clubs. Women who had given birth were excluded from the study. The subjects completed a proprietary questionnaire consisting of 8 questions. They also completed the Urinary Distress Inventory, Short Form (UDI-6SF) questionnaire and the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, Short Form (IIQ-7).

Results

In this study, 43% of women who trained had symptoms of urinary incontinence. Regression analysis results with UDI-6SF and IIQ-7 total scores as dependent variables and age as an independent variable showed that the slopes of regression were not statistically significantly different (p-value > 0.05). The results of the analysis of the correlation between SUI (stress urinary incontinence) and age (p = 0.0247) and practiced sport (p = 0.0476) turned out to be statistically significant.

Conclusions

The type of sport practiced affects the occurrence of UI (urinary incontinence) symptoms in women. In this study, female athletes practicing strength sports had the greatest predisposition to the occurrence of UI symptoms. The occurrence of UI symptoms has little impact on the deterioration of the quality of life among women practicing selected sports.

Lightweight Dataset for Decoy Development to Improve IoT Security
Authors: Weissman David , P. Jayasumana Anura
Published: September 2024

In this paper, the authors introduce a lightweight dataset to interpret IoT (Internet of Things) activity in preparation to create decoys by replicating known data traffic patterns. The dataset comprises different scenarios in a real network setting. This paper also surveys information related to other IoT datasets along with the characteristics that make our data valuable. Many of the datasets available are synthesized (simulated) or often address industrial applications, while the IoT dataset we present is based on likely smart home scenarios. Further, there are only a limited number of IoT datasets that contain both normal operation and attack scenarios. A discussion of the network configuration and the steps taken to prepare this dataset are presented as we prepare to create replicative patterns for decoy purposes. The dataset, which we refer to as IoT Flex Data, consists of four categories, namely, IoT benign idle, IoT benign active, IoT setup, and malicious (attack) traffic associating the IoT devices with the scenarios under consideration.
An Intelligent Mobile Application to Assist in Healing a Dancer’s Injury using Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Ni Connie , Thamrun Jonathan
Published: September 2024

This paper introduces "DanceWell," an app created to help dancers quickly get medical advice for injuries. The app was developed based on personal experiences and the difficulty of finding specialized care quickly and affordably. DanceWell uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze user input, such as symptoms and photos of injuries, to diagnose problems more accurately than traditional methods [1]. The app's main features include a photo upload tool for injury analysis and a set of yes/no questions tailored to each injury type. Experiments show that DanceWell can accurately provide medical advice, proving to be faster and more accessible than waiting for a doctor's appointment. The app makes it easier for dancers to get the right care quickly, allowing them to continue training and recover faster [2]. This project shows how AI can improve healthcare by providing specific, quick, and reliable support, suggesting that such technology should be used more widely.

Se empleó un diseño completamente al azar con cinco tratamientos y cuatro repeticiones, con siete pollos broilers por unidad experimental. Se evaluaron parámetros clave como consumo de alimento, ganancia de peso, conversión alimenticia, rendimiento del canal y rentabilidad a intervalos de 14, 21, 28, 35 y 42 días. Los resultados indicaron que las diferentes concentraciones de harina de follaje no afectaron significativamente los parámetros productivos. Sin embargo, se encontró que los tratamientos con una inclusión del 5% y del 10% de harina de follaje mostraron una mayor rentabilidad económica, con una relación beneficio-costo del 34% y una rentabilidad de $2,24 y $2,27 respectivamente. Se concluyó que la inclusión de harina de follaje no impactó significativamente el rendimiento de los pollos broilers, pero los niveles del 5% y del 10% de inclusión resultaron más favorables desde una perspectiva económica, siendo relevantes para la industria avícola en la búsqueda de alternativas alimenticias rentables.
Cognitive aspect of concept strangeness in English

The paper aims to explore the cognitive aspect of the concept of
"Strangeness" in English. It examines this concept through the lens of the
image-schema of Relation, as "strangeness" is primarily perceived as a quality
associated with being unnatural, unknown, or unrecognizable. Through an
analysis of the meanings of the synonymic set of adjectives with the dominant
"strange", the study reveals that, in addition to the common semantic
component of "different from what is usual or ordinary," these adjectives also
share other semes. These semes include "striking or shocking," "eccentric,"
"inspiring fear," and "remote in space/time," which differentiate them into
smaller subgroups.
Overall, based on the semantic analysis of the selected adjectives, it can
be concluded that English speakers perceive something or someone as
strange when they cannot categorize them into known categories or when the
objects are distant in time and space. The quality of strangeness typically
carries a negative connotation.

A study was conducted in the high tropics in the province of Pamplona, Colombia, with the objective of evaluating the growth of peach, Jarillo variety, under three different altitudes (1670, 1870, and 2170 masl). A total of eight trees were sampled per altitude for the purposes of this study. Ten fruits were taken from the middle third, and their mass was measured as follows: fresh and dry from the fruit and fruit pulp, pulp-seed ratio, and the roundness index during the three stages of development after defoliation. A multivariate analysis of variance and a nested longitudinal mixed model were employed to analyze the total fresh mass from three altitudes. The simple effects of altitude and the phenological stages and their interaction were found to be significant when the nested structure of the random effects, fruits nested in trees, and trees in altitudes were incorporated. The effects of time and altitude demonstrated a significant interaction for all variables. In all cases, 1670 masl was the altitude which had the highest fresh mass and the pulp-seed relationship, which it allowed a higher percentage of pulp from harvested fruits for agro-industrial processes. The pattern of relationship between fruit-associated variables as a function of days after defoliation was explained using a second-order polynomial regression model.

Dada la importancia de las investigaciones relacionadas con el uso de Bacillus endófitos como agentes de control biológico de Moniliophthora roreri, el objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el efecto de cuatro cepas de este género bacteriano en la protección de Theobroma cacao L. frente al agente causal de la moniliasis en una zona productora de la provincia de Esmeraldas, Ecuador. El experimento se realizó en una plantación establecida con el genotipo de cacao   EET-103 tipo Nacional de 14 años de edad, con un marco de 3 x 3 m, sobre un suelo Andisol, bajo un diseño de bloques completos al azar, con seis tratamientos y cinco réplicas. Se hicieron tres aplicaciones con una frecuencia mensual. Se evaluó la incidencia y severidad externa en la mazorca durante los 90 días de desarrollo con una frecuencia quincenal. Cuando las mazorcas alcanzaron la madurez de cosecha se abrieron longitudinalmente y se determinó el porcentaje de severidad interna. Todas las cepas mostraron efecto de biocontrol sobre M. roreri en condiciones de campo, sobresaliendo Bacillus sp. 33 y B. amyloliquefaciens 24, aisladas del mesocarpio del fruto, con valores de incidencia promedio entre 4,4 y 7,6 %, severidad externa entre 3,6 y 6,2 %  e interna  entre  22-30 %, respectivamente. La aplicación de cepas de Bacillus endófitos constituye una alternativa biológica para reducir las afectaciones ocasionadas por la moniliasis en los agroecosistemas cacaoteros.

Seiring dengan kemajuan teknologi dan era yang semakin modern mengakibatkan kebudayaan kain tenun endek di Bali kurang diperhatikan dan dilestarikan oleh masyarakat setempat. Nyatanya banyak masyarakat yang tidak mengenali berbagai corak dari kain tenun endek Bali karena kurangnya perhatian dari masyarakat utamanya anak generasi muda. Hal ini jelas menjadi perhatian sehingga perlu dibuat klasifikasi yang jelas untuk mengedukasi dengan mudah kepada masyarakat terkait motif kain endek Bali. Penelitian yang dibangun diimplementasikan dengan model YOLOv8 menggunakan Bahasa Pemrograman Python sehingga dapat mendeteksi motif dari kain endek dengan akurat pada mobile apps yang dibuat menggunakan Android Studio. Sebelum melakukan implementasi pada Android Studio, perlu dilakukan analisis dan evaluasi terlebih dahulu pada model YOLOv8 sehingga bisa memberikan hasil deteksi yang maksimal dengan menggunakan dataset dari gambar kain endek yang telah dilakukan augmentasi dan anotasi dengan total dataset sebanyak 1.524 data gambar kain endek. Evaluasi yang dilakukan pada model YOLOv8 dengan menghitung nilai precission, recall, mAP50, mAP50-95. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa model YOLOv8 menghasilkan precision dengan nilai 0.943, recall dengan nilai 0.954, 0.956 untuk nilai tertinggi pada mAP50, serta 0.8 untuk nilai tertinggi pada mAP50-95, yang sudah bagus untuk mendeteksi motif dari kain endek untuk kemudian diimplementasikan pada mobile apps.
