Authors: - Uzma Padder , - Sheikh Masoodi
Published: May 2023

Breastfeeding is the process of feeding a newborn with the mothers milk and it is very important for enhancing child and maternal health .Exclusive breastfeeding means that an infant receives only breast milk from his or her mother or a wet nurse or expresses breast milk and no other liquids or solids, not even water, with the exception of oral rehydration solution, drops or syrups consisting of vitamins, mineral supplements or medicines. For almost all infants, breastfeeding remains the easiest, healthiest and least costly method of feeding to meet the needs of infants. However, only 40% of children worldwide are exclusively breastfed which is far from the recommendation. In low income and middle-income countries, only 37% of children are exclusively breastfed. Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is recommended for the first six months of age by the World Health Organization.
Methods: The study was carried out among randomly selected post natal mothers in a selected hospital Kashmir. Data collection was done with the help of face to face interview using a pre-tested and predesigned structured questionnaire having information about demographic profile of study participants and practices of breast feeding. The sample size was 60 postnatal mothers.
Result: The data was analyzed by calculating the score in terms of frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi- square, and paired T- test. The study findings revealed that 26.7% mothers were having poor practice regarding breastfeeding, 50.0% were having fair practice and 23.3% mothers were having good practice regarding breast feeding practices.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing: A Weapon to Commit White-Collar Crime
Authors: - Dr. Subhajit Ghosh
Published: May 2023

Off balance-sheet financing is an accounting technique in which a debt for which a company is obligated does not appear on the company's balance sheet as a liability. Keeping debt off the balance sheet allows a company to appear more creditworthy but misrepresents the firm's financial structure to creditors, shareholders, and the public. The sudden collapse of energy-trading giant Enron Corporation is attributed in large part to the firm's off-balance-sheet financing through multiple partnerships. Off-balancing financing is an aspect of creative accounting. In this paper an attempt has been made to highlight various aspects of off-balance sheet financing as well as to provide some suggestive measures so that such mal practice can be eradicated.

Published: May 2023

Nowadays, in countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq, land mines are posing a major danger to the lives of civilians. These mines are explosive devices that are designed to disable or destroy enemy targets and are typically hidden beneath the surface of the ground. Most land mines are placed just below the ground and are triggered by pressure or trip-wires. They typically contain a number of metallic components, which can be used to detect them. The mines that are set up during times of war may remain undetected for extended periods. The term "Metal Detector" implies that it can be done from a distance, allowing for a safer approach to locating landmines. Using a mine detection robot, soldiers can traverse mine-ridden areas without entering them, providing a secure and efficient way of landmine detection. Other methods, such as radar bullets, biological methods, and mechanical methods, are much risky and put soldiers' lives at risk. The Landmine Detection Robot, which utilizes both IoT and GPS technology, is a much safer option.

WOMEN’S PAGE OF THE UKRAINIAN CATHOLIC PERIODICAL
Authors: Komarytsia Mariana
Published: May 2023

The concept of a woman is considered in different dimensions: historical retrospect, social, religious and organizational. Theoretical reasoning behind this concept in the context of the Christian paradigm was presented by O. Volyanskyi, O. Nazaruk, Y. Skruten, E. Tyshynska, and others. The chronological framework of the publications covers the pre-Aryan period, Kyivan Rus’ and Cossack times, 20th century, highlighting such iconic figures of our past as Kniahynia Olga, Sultan’s wife Roksolana, etc. Heroic efforts in the fight for the freedom of women abroad – Bulgaria, Ethiopia, France, Japan, and India – are highlighted through the prism of informative articles.
The Women’s Congress in June 1934 in Stanislav (now Ivano-Frankivsk), dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the founding of the «Ruthenian Women’s Society», showed close cooperation of the women from Galicia, Bukovyna, Transcarpathia, Volyn and emigration. The Action underlined the ideological differences in the women’s movement: the discussion was mainly between the magazines «Katolytska Aktsia» and «Zhinka». Publications about the genesis, tasks and perspectives of the women’s movement development were published within thematic pages and out of the rubric.

Comparative Study of Mediterranean Courtyard Houses and the Bioclimate Impact on Their Design from Four Axes: Historical, Environmental, Social and Geometry
Authors: Bassal Carol , Rabea Mostafa , Felix Mary
Published: May 2023

As a result of the many efforts made in recent decades to implement bioclimatic criteria and passive house models in Mediterranean areas, traditional architectural typologies can play a role in the contemporary environmental architectural framework. The interactive and adaptive relationship between climate, site, and building is a fundamental rule in the climate-responsive approach to reducing environmental impacts. Lately, this idea has been extended to include protecting the cultural identities of places. Many cases in the Mediterranean Basin show that conventional courtyard houses can provide high adaptability, sustainability, and functionality. Mediterranean courtyard houses are founded on a set of adaptable and sustainable standards derived from a combination of active and passive design approaches. This paper presents a comparative study of courtyard houses in five Mediterranean countries: Spain, Türkiye, Greece, Libya, and Palestine, addressing four areas of interest: history, environment, society and geometry. Considering the bioclimatic approach as a critical component in reorienting the construction process, the study’s goal is to compare and evaluate the inner courtyards of these Mediterranean countries, analysing the most important constant factors and modification paths. The study concludes that the courtyard morphology is a shared human legacy with a past and future as it meets its inhabitants’ physical and sociocultural requirements. Furthermore, despite the differences in some aspects, courtyard houses were constructed throughout the Mediterranean with a common meaning of heaven on earth; this could imply that the courtyard garden is the world’s meaning.
The Implementation of Simultaneous Local Elections: An Overview of Constitutional Law and Its Impact on Democracy in Indonesia
Authors: Riastri Haryani
Published: May 2023

This study aims to examine and analyze the execution of Simultaneous Local Elections within the study of constitutional law and its impact on democracy in Indonesia. This study uses normative legal research with the statute and conceptual approaches. The collected legal material is then qualitatively analyzed to describe the problem and answer study purposes. The results show that implementing the 2024 Simultaneous Local Elections presents some crucial impacts on the Local Elections held in 2017, 2018, and 2020. The first impact, related to the 2017 and 2018 Local Elections, involves the ASN as Interim Regional Heads during the transition toward the 2024 Simultaneous Local Elections. However, this provision reflects principles of accountability and continuity of government, which are also critical parts of a democratic system. The second impact, particularly for the 2020 Local Elections, reduces the Regional Head’s term, initially set to serve until 2026. In contrast, legal considerations in Decision Number 18/PUU-XX/2022 decided that reducing the term of Regional Head due to the 2024 Simultaneous Local Elections does not contradict the 1945 Constitution. Therefore, several recommendations can be formulated for relevant parties. First, the appointment process of Interim Regional Heads should be more transparent and involve public consultation where possible. Second, serious consideration should be given to the impact of reduced terms for Regional Heads elected in 2020. Mechanisms should be in place to ensure that the reduction does not adversely affect the quality of governance or disrupt ongoing projects. Finally, the consideration in Decision Number 18/PUU-XX/2022 and the 1945 Constitution should guide all decision-making processes related to the 2024 Simultaneous Local Elections. Thus, a careful, balanced approach is needed in the execution of the 2024 Simultaneous Local Elections to maintain democratic integrity, the rule of law, and public trust.
Notary Ethics and Profession: The Consequences of Sanctions for Violating the Code of Ethics
Authors: Prakoso Margareth Tutut Maharani , Sukirno Sukirno
Published: May 2023

This study aims to examine the legal position of the Code of Ethics for the Notary Public in legislation, and also seeks to analyze the consequences of sanctions for violating the code of ethics in the Notary profession. This study uses normative legal research with the statute and conceptual approaches. The collected legal material is then qualitatively analyzed to describe the problem and answer study purposes. The results show that the INI acts as the sole organization for Notaries in Indonesia, asserting its authority in establishing and enforcing the code of ethics. The code of ethics is established and enforced in various sanctions imposed, including admonishments, warnings, temporary suspensions, honorable dismissals, and dishonorable dismissals. However, such membership dismissals do not affect the status of a Notary as a Public Official. Nevertheless, severe violations of the code of ethics can prompt the Honorary Council to recommend the dismissal of a Notary to the Minister of Law and Human Rights. Therefore, several recommendations can be proposed to the relevant parties. First, the INI should continue to enhance its members’ understanding of the code of ethics through various educational activities and training. Second, the Honorary Council is expected to be more proactive in supervising and auditing Notary practices to detect and quickly address violations of the code of ethics. Lastly, the Minister of Law and Human Rights should carefully consider the dismissal recommendations from the Honorary Council and ensure that each decision is based on robust and fair evidence. Concurrently, closer cooperation between the Minister of Law and Human Rights and the INI is necessary to enforce the code of ethics and relevant legislation. Thus, the involvement and roles of all stakeholders are crucial in maintaining public trust in the Notary profession in Indonesia.

Aim: There is a correlation between the number of resected lymph nodes (LNs) and survival as well as staging in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). This cohort discussed the effect of the number of dissected LNs on the prognosis [survival, disease-free survival (DFS)] of patients with stage II and III CRC.
Methods: In this historical prospective cohort study, the records of 946 patients with CRC operated in the Seyyed-Al-Shohada hospital in Isfahan from 1998 to 2014 were enrolled. Then the impact of LNs on the overall survival (OS) and DFS were analyzed.
Results: The number of removed LNs was higher among males [mean difference = 1.38, t (944) = 2.232, P-value = 0.02]. The median of the DFS for the patients with 1 to 20 LN removal was 104 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 90.97–117.03], while this number for the patients with more than 20 nodes was 166 months (95% CI: 140.41–191.58). DFS between two groups of CRCs, LN removal 1–20, and greater than 20. Age and number of LN removal were significant predictors of the DFS. There was a strong and statistically significant correlation between DFS and OS among CRC patients.
Conclusions: This study shows that if the number of resected LNs in patients with CRC is more than 20, it will increase in DFS and OS.

Water and Food Security for Sugar in Egypt
Authors: El-Shatla Hany , Mohamed Mohamed
Published: May 2023

Sugar is one of the most important strategic food commodities for many of the world’s countries. The principal research problem surrounds the fact that domestic sugar production is unable to meet the requirements of increasing demand; therefore, the research aimed to assess the state of water and food security for sugar in Egypt. The results of the research were as follows. The quantity of virtual water exported ranged from lowest to maximum of 375.7 million m3 and1278 million m3 during 2012 and 2016, respectively. The inland water footprint also ranged from a lower to upper point of about 1979 million m3 and 3570.5 million m3 during 2011 and 2015. The quantity of virtual water imported ranged from a minimum to maximum of 1,705.4 million m and 3,2934.8 million m3 during 2017 and 2020, and the external water footprint can be cited as being between a minimum and maximum of about 983.6 million m3 and 2081million m3 during 2011 and 2017; the total water footprint was set between a minimum and maximum of about 2962.6 million m3 and 5615.5 million m3 with regard to food security in Egypt, thus reflecting 0.011 in 2019. The research therefore recommends that the concept of virtual water should be introduced in the development of the agricultural sector’s future strategy to ensure the adoption of less water-use agricultural production systems, focusing on the import of agricultural products with high water needs.

Automatic discovery and description of human planning strategies
Authors: Skirzyński Julian , Jain Yash Raj , Lieder Falk
Published: May 2023

Scientific discovery concerns finding patterns in data and creating insightful hypotheses that explain these patterns. Traditionally, each step of this process required human ingenuity. But the galloping development of computer chips and advances in artificial intelligence (AI) make it increasingly more feasible to automate some parts of scientific discovery. Understanding human planning is one of the fields in which AI has not yet been utilized. State-of-the-art methods for discovering new planning strategies still rely on manual data analysis. Data about the process of human planning is often used to group similar behaviors together. Researchers then use this data to formulate verbal descriptions of the strategies which might underlie those groups of behaviors. In this work, we leverage AI to automate these two steps of scientific discovery. We introduce a method for automatic discovery and description of human planning strategies from process-tracing data collected with the Mouselab-MDP paradigm. Our method utilizes a new algorithm, called Human-Interpret, that performs imitation learning to describe sequences of planning operations in terms of a procedural formula and then translates that formula to natural language. We test our method on a benchmark data set that researchers have previously scrutinized manually. We find that the descriptions of human planning strategies that we obtain automatically are about as understandable as human-generated descriptions. They also cover a substantial proportion of relevant types of human planning strategies that had been discovered manually. Our method saves scientists’ time and effort, as all the reasoning about human planning is done automatically. This might make it feasible to more rapidly scale up the search for yet undiscovered cognitive strategies that people use for planning and decision-making to many new decision environments, populations, tasks, and domains. Given these results, we believe that the presented work may accelerate scientific discovery in psychology, and due to its generality, extend to problems from other fields.

The composition and β-phase content of the piezoelectric composite films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The morphology of the composite film fibers was observed through scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. Finally, the P(VDF-TrFE)/ZnO/GR piezoelectric composite film was encapsulated in a sandwich structure heart sound sensor, and a visual heart sound acquisition and classification system was designed using LabVIEW. A heart sound classification model was trained based on the fine K-Nearest-Neighbor (KNN) classification algorithm to predict whether the collected heart sounds are normal or abnormal. The heart sound detection system designed in this paper can collect heart sound signals in real-time and predict whether the heart sounds are normal or abnormal, providing a new solution for the diagnosis of heart disease.

Persaingan antar toko menjadi sengit karena telah menerapkan penjualan offline dan online. Penjualan online sudah dijadikan salah satu media transaksi dimana pembeli tidak harus bertemu dengan penjual untuk melihat produk dan melakukan pembelian. Maraknya trend hijrah saat ini berdampak langsung dengan peningkatan penjualan hijab dikalangan anak muda. Ditambah dengan budaya hijab Indonesia yang sangat beragam membuat banyak tipe, model dan desain hijab cantik yang mana tidak hanya digunakan untuk menutup aurat tetapi menjadi salah satu item fashion saat ini. Salah satu framework yang membantu dalam pembangunan aplikasi penjualan adalah laravel. Laravel merupakan sebuah kerangka kerja pemrograman yang berbasis open source yang dipakai oleh banyak developer dari seluruh dunia. Laravel juga menjadi salah satu framework yang dapat membantu developper untuk memaksimalkan penggunaan PHP didalam proses pengembangan website. Selain itu, Laravel juga memiliki beberapa fitur unggulan, seperti template engine, routing, dan modularity. Framework laravel memiliki kelebihan dalam struktur file dan koding dari pada php native biasa. Framework laravel memiliki fungsi migrate sehingga lebih mudah untuk pengelolaan databasenya. Framwork laravel memiliki templating engine yang dapat membantu membangun tampilkan front end lebih efisien dengan fungsi blade yang telah disediakan oleh laravel. Framwork bootstrap dengan css nya membuat tampilan aplikasi menjadi lebih bagus dan rapi. Aplikasi yang penulis bangun belum sempurna sehingga masih banyak kekurangannya, baik dari segi tampilan maupun fasilitas yang lebih user friendly. Selain itu, aplikasi ini juga memiliki kekurangan di bagian pembayaran yang masih manual karena keterbatasan ilmu pengetahuan penulis sehingga belum bisa membuat fungsi pembayaran yang terintegrasi dengan virtual money seperti gopay, dana ataupun ovo.

Abstract: Consuming foods and drinks that contain a lot of Glucose, allows the risk of developing Diabetes. Diabetes is a disorder of the metabolic system of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the body due to disturbances that occur in insulin secretion that cause a decrease in insulin performance. Please be aware that Diabetes can lead to death, blindness, heart disease and kidney failure. According to data from the International Diabetes Federation in 2019, Indonesia is ranked 7th, where 10.7% of the total population suffers from Diabetes. For this reason, we are interested in making fuzzy logic on determining drug classes in diabetes based on the patient's blood glucose levels. The purpose of this study is to prove that fuzzy logic can be a solution for classifying drugs in diabetic patients. We'll create a fuzzy Logic that uses The Hard Way graphic model on each variable membership function. For the fuzzy manufacturing process toolbox we used a Jupyter Notebook on anaconda Navigator.The limitation of the study is the use of doses on drugs. This research can contribute to the field of health.

El clima laboral docente y su importancia en el proceso de enseñanza
Authors: Clavijo Luengas Mery Lorena
Published: May 2023

El clima laboral docente es un factor crucial en la calidad de la educación. En el presente artículo, se explora el origen y desarrollo del concepto de clima laboral docente, y se discuten algunas de las principales investigaciones que han demostrado su relación con la satisfacción laboral de los docentes, el rendimiento docente y la calidad de la educación.  Se evidencia que los factores del clima laboral docente, como el apoyo de los superiores, la autonomía, la comunicación efectiva y la percepción de justicia, tienen un impacto significativo en el bienestar laboral de los docentes y en su capacidad para cumplir con sus responsabilidades de enseñanza, enfatizando en que los estudios sugieren que los docentes con altos niveles de satisfacción laboral están más comprometidos y tienen menos probabilidades de experimentar síndrome de burnout (síndrome del trabajador quemado).   Al mismo tiempo, se profundiza en la implicación del clima laboral docente en el proceso educativo, destacando su relación con la motivación, el compromiso y la eficacia colectiva de los docentes, y su influencia en la retención de los estudiantes.    En general, se demuestra la importancia del clima laboral docente en la calidad de la educación y en el bienestar de los docentes y los estudiantes.
