Navigating Children’s Rights and AI in the UK: A roadmap through uncertain territory
Authors: Mahomed Sabeehah , Briggs Morgan , Wong Janis , Aitken Mhairi
Published: September 2023

Children are among the most vulnerable to the impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) but are simultaneously least represented in decision-making processes around the design, development, deployment, and governance of AI. This paper therefore seeks to examine current approaches to addressing children’s rights and children’s interests in this field, and in particular whether and how children’s rights and AI are considered across existing frameworks such as regulations, policy instruments, and guidance documents. The paper presents findings from a series of semi-structured interviews with public sector stakeholders in the UK, which indicated that many of these stakeholders aspire to engage children in relation to AI but do not know how, often pointing to a lack of resources or guidance. Building on these findings, our review of existing frameworks identifies key considerations, similarities, and tensions between the frameworks, and assesses to what extent children have or have not been considered and engaged with AI in the UK and international context. The review identifies gaps that we recommend should be addressed to provide further clarity and certainty in relation to children’s rights and AI. We conclude with reflections on future directions and paths forward to further develop child-centred, rights-based approaches to AI, and the importance of meaningful engagement with children to inform child-centred approaches. Children are an important stakeholder group who must be meaningfully considered and included in the conversations surrounding the future of technological innovation in order for them and duty bearers to collectively steward a shared future for responsible AI.

Published: September 2023

Seeds treatment with biostimulants for soybean is a promising practice, but there are little studies regarding protocols of bioinputs, such as Ascophyllum nodosum L. seaweed extract. We aimed to evaluate the effect of doses of A. nodosum on soybean seeds treatment, and its impact on germination and seedling vigor. Two tests were conducted, i) germination and seedlings vigor, and ii) emergence and photochemical processes in the field. Six doses of A. nodosum extract (ANE) were tested: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mL kg seeds−1, whose seeds were packed in plastic packaging, adding the corresponding dose and homogenizing, leaving them to rest for 15 minutes. ANE treatment did not influence the first count and seed germination. Soybean seedlings from seeds treated with 5 mL kg−1 ANE had greater growth and biomass of the shoot and root. We observed increase 18% for shoot dry matter with seeds treatment of 5 mL kg−1 ANE compared to untreated seeds. The responses were variable for the emergence speed index, and did not influence the photochemical processes in photosystem II in function at ANE, while the seeds treated with ANE had higher chlorophyll index. In cluster analysis seeds treatment with 5 mL kg−1 ANE was isolated from all doses. ANE presented a biostimulant effect on soybean seedlings, providing better growth and biomass characteristics, being promising in seeds treatment, but further studies are suggested in order to increase information regarding its use protocol for soybeans.

Authors: González Moreno Alba , Molero Jurado María del Mar
Published: September 2023

Introduction: The concept of creativity is a term that has been studied to find an exact definition of it. The study aims is to analyze the various existing definitions of creativity to find a diversity of meanings of the same term. Methodology: The methodology used is based on a systematic review of the literature based on the principles of the PRISMA statement and which refers to the search for research in the Dialnet Plus, Scielo and Scopus databases. Results: The results found show the diversity of existing definitions of creativity and how these can be classified depending on their meaning into person, process, product or environment; focusing therefore these studies on understanding creativity as a mental process that is used for the resolution of a conflict from something original and novel. Conclusions: In short, as a conclusion, it is necessary to point out how the construct of creativity can be understood in different ways depending on the perspective in which it is studied, which leads to the fact that there is no generalized term for creativity and that it is so ambiguous.

Las mediciones y el control excesivo a las revistas académicas pueden implicar en estas una reducción en sus potestades y una lucha desmedida por el cumplimiento de los requisitos, que puede ir en detrimento de la difusión y divulgación de las investigaciones. Es innegable que la calidad y las prácticas correctas en las publicaciones de los resultados de investigación deben primar y no se trata de publicar indistintamente sin las debidas evaluaciones y trabajo de edición. Pero los cumplimientos para responder a lo que establecen empresas medidoras que tienden a homogenizar tampoco lo es, recientemente en Colombia se ha vivido una situación en este sentido.
Concepções políticas de estudantes da educação superior
Authors: Da Silva Samara Martins , Noro Luiz Roberto Augusto
Published: September 2023

A formação de consciência social, crítica e autônoma configura-se como uma das atribuições fundamentais da universidade em seu compromisso na construção de uma sociedade fundada na justiça social e na ciência. O presente estudo buscou identificar a concepção política de estudantes da educação superior e relacioná-la com suas características socioeconômicas, culturais e acadêmicas, por meio de questionário estruturado. O estudo analisou as respostas de 290 estudantes, sendo a maioria do sexo feminino, religiosos, egressos de escolas de Ensino Médio públicas, “não-cotistas”, brancos, com pouca participação em partidos políticos e no movimento estudantil. No geral, os estudantes demonstraram uma visão progressista, com sensibilidade às questões de valorização do papel do Estado, justiça e equidade social. Há traços de intolerância e discriminação entre os religiosos, e ideias privatizantes e contrárias às cotas entre os homens, os religiosos, os não cotistas e os alunos que cursaram o Ensino Médio em escolas privadas. Apesar das evidências do estudo de egressos da universidade com perspectiva de mudanças positivas nas relações sociais, o atual contexto vivenciado no país, envolvido com a perda de direitos e privatização do Estado, deve estimular lutas nesses grupos pela manutenção da democracia e de prerrogativas constitucionais.

The study of matter and energy, as well as their relationships with one
another, is the focus of the scientific field known as physics. It is possible to describe
physics as the study of nature or as that has been belonging to natural things. This
branch of science is concerned with the laws and characteristics of matter, in addition
to the forces that act upon it. Physics is often recognized as one of the most challenging
scientific disciplines-because, it draws concepts and ideas from other academic
subfields, such as biology and chemistry. At the beginning of physics, mathematical
models had to be meticulously compiled and then evaluated manually. Scientists are
now capable of simulating and solving difficult physics problems with notably more
speed, precision, and creativity than ever before because of breakthroughs in artificial
intelligence and machine learning. Frameworks powered by artificial intelligence are
speeding up the research in a wide variety of fields of physics such as nuclear
technology, windmill energy production, thermal power plant, space research and
energy management. The application of artificial intelligence for the development of
new models and solutions for challenging physics problems has the potential to
significantly accelerate the rate of progress of scientific advancement across the most
basic field of physics.

Authors: Boobalan S. , Sivasankari G. , Mahaveer Sree Jayan M.
Published: September 2023

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance studies are carried out at room
temperature on single crystals of aqualithiumaquabis (malonato) zincate doped with
VO(II) using X-band frequencies. Rotations in three mutually orthogonal planes
indicate three chemically inequivalent sites, with intensities ratios of 1:2:9. However,
only one site, with the highest intensity, could be followed during crystal rotations. The
calculated spin Hamiltonian parameters are: gxx=1.976; gyy=1.973; gzz=1.933; Axx= 7.01
mT; Ayy= 6.77 mT; Azz= 18.01 mT. The impurity has entered the lattice in an interstitial
position. The analysis of the powder spectrum also reveals the presence of only one
site. Admixture coefficients, Fermi contact and dipolar interaction terms have also been
evaluated. IR, UV-Visible and powder XRD data of the doped complex confirm the
structure and symmetry of the host lattice.

Produksi kentang di Indonesia berkontribusi + 0,3% dari total produksi dunia sebesar + 388.191.000 ton. Kentang merupakan komoditas hortikultura esensial di Indonesia dengan permintaan sekitar 2,82 kg ha-1 kapita-1 pada tahun 2021. Saat ini terjadi defisit ketersediaan kentang yang mencapai 4.845.910 ton yang diperparah dengan terus menurunnya produksi kentang nasional (1.164.738 ton). Penyakit hawar daun (Phytophthora infestans) merupakan salah satu masalah utama penyebab penurunan produksi kentang (kehilangan hasil antara 10-100%). Penyebaran penyakit hawar daun sulit untuk diidentifikasi secara real time, sehingga diperlukan teknologi tepat guna yang dapat memberikan informasi secara cepat dan akurat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat bagaimana foto udara (dari UAV) memperkirakan sebaran penyakit hawar daun pada kentang. Foto UAV diubah menjadi indeks NDVI, RDVI, SAVI, SR, ARVI-2, DVI, IPVI, dan GCI. Data pengukuran indeks penyakit hawar daun akan dikorelasikan dan dipilih yang terbaik untuk mendapatkan rumus regresi distribusi spasial penyakit hawar daun. Lokasi penelitian berada di Kecamatan Bumiaji, Kota Batu, Indonesia. Titik pengamatan di lapangan sebanyak 50 titik pengamatan untuk setiap luasan 3 Ha. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semua indeks berkorelasi positif (> r tabel 0,34). Korelasi tertinggi pada estimasi model dari indeks NDVI (0,72). Kondisi ini sejalan dengan koefisien regresi (R2) pada NDVI yang mencapai 0,51 dengan persamaan y = 20,779 * (angka indeks NDVI) + 49,146. Analisis t-paired menunjukkan bahwa t hitung pada model (-1,10) ada pada grafik t-tabel (2,16), dan ini menegaskan bahwa rumus tersebut dapat diandalkan untuk digunakan.

Published: September 2023

Bemisia tabaci, yang umum dikenal dengan kutu kebul, merupakan serangga hama yang dikenal luas, mempunyai dampak signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman, khususnya pada kedelai. Hama ini dapat menyebabkan kerugian panen hingga 80% dan juga berperan sebagai vektor virus tanaman sehingga semakin mengancam tanaman. Penularan virus oleh B. tabaci, seperti virus gemini, dapat menyebabkan kegagalan hampir seluruh panen. Penelitian ini berfokus pada isolasi nematoda entomopatogen dari 11 lingkungan berbeda, antara lain perkebunan kakao dan karet, ladang jagung, perkebunan kentang, perkebunan kopi, sawah, ladang kedelai, dan lapangan golf. Nematoda ini dibudidayakan dan kemudian digunakan dalam percobaan laboratorium untuk menargetkan B. tabaci, yang dikumpulkan dari habitat aslinya. Studi ini memantau tingkat kematian B. tabaci selama 96 jam. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa seluruh sampel nematoda yang diisolasi termasuk dalam spesies Steinernema spp dan berpotensi menginfeksi B. tabaci. Namun, efektivitas isolat ini berbeda-beda berdasarkan asalnya. Isolat Steinernema spp dari wilayah Bromo (kode N) diketahui karena kemampuan infeksinya yang tinggi. Hal ini menunjukkan nilai LC50 sebesar 356.874 JI/ml dan angka kematian B. tabaci sebesar 97,63%. Temuan ini mempunyai implikasi signifikan terhadap pengelolaan hama di bidang pertanian. Temuan-temuan ini menyarankan pendekatan yang berbeda untuk mengendalikan infestasi B. tabaci dengan mempertimbangkan efektivitas isolat nematoda dari berbagai lanskap. Nematoda Steinernema spp, terutama yang berasal dari Bromo (kode N), menjanjikan sebagai solusi pengelolaan hama yang ramah lingkungan. Selain itu, penelitian ini menyoroti pentingnya penggunaan isolat nematoda spesifik lanskap untuk mengoptimalkan upaya pengendalian hama. Kesimpulannya, isolat nematoda entomopatogen, khususnya Steinernema spp, mempunyai potensi untuk melawan B. tabaci. Penyesuaian strategi pengelolaan hama dengan kondisi geografis tertentu sangatlah penting. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi wawasan berharga bagi pengembangan pendekatan berkelanjutan untuk menjaga hasil pertanian dan menjamin ketahanan pangan.

Authors: Ananda Ilham Revan , Listyoko Aditya Sri , Putra Ngakan Putu Parsama , Aslam Achmad Bayhaqi Nasir
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Introduction : Chylothorax is an uncommon medical condition caused by the accumulation of chylous fluid in the pleural space. Chylothorax has no predilection for sex or age. The prevalence after various cardiothoracic surgeries is 0.2% to 1%. Mortality and morbidity rates are around 10%. Respiratory distress may occur due to compression of the lung by the accumulated fluid. Management and approaches to treating the condition require multidisciplinary therapy, starting from non- pharmacological, pharmacological, to interventional management.

Case Report : A 57-year-old Man patient was referred to the emergency room with chief complaint of shortness of breath. Reduced breathing sound on both lung fields. No previous history of cancer or thoracic surgery were found. X-ray examination had found bilateral pleural effusion. Thoracocentesis and pleural fluid analysis was performed with total of 6800 cc serosanguinous, whitish fluid was extracted from both of the lung. The patient was diagnosed with chylothorax. Lymphangiography and embolization was performed on the leak on left thoracic duct (T10) from right lymph node. Antibiotic was also given to treat the community acquired pneumonia that could be one of the possible etiology on this patient. Dietary modification with low fat diet and Ocreotide was also given to this patient as one of the treatment modalities.

Discussion : The diagnosis of Chylothorax on this patient was established based on pleural fluid analysis and evidenced by lymphangiography examination by the presence of a leak in the thoracic lymphatic duct. Various modalities to diagnose this condition have been carried out with inconclusive results. Non-pharmacological, pharmacological and radiological interventions with embolization through lymphangiography are proven to be able to stop leaks and reduce symptoms in this patient. Conclusion : Chyle leak to the pleural space may compress the lung and cause respiratory distress. Combinaton of thoracocentesis, embolization of the leakage, dietary intake modification and administration of ocreotide may help prevent further chylous fluid accumulation.

Keywords : chylothorax, embolization, lymphangiography, thoracocentesis.

Published: September 2023

Thrombocytosis (an increase in the level of platelets in the peripheral blood above 450×109/l) has different causes and mechanisms of formation: it can be familial, primary (clonal), secondary (reactive). The ability to interpret peripheral blood parameters, knowledge of the main differential diagnostic criteria for diseases accompanied by thrombocytosis, allow the doctor to conduct the necessary examination to determine the cause of an increase in the platelet count in the blood. Clarification of the nature of thrombocytosis is very important, since clonal thrombocytosis is more often accompanied by the development of thrombotic complications and requires more active therapeutic intervention, specific therapy. Timely diagnosis helps to prevent the development of thrombosis, improves the prognosis, quality of life and survival of patients.

Materials and methods: a retrospective analysis of phase II-III data from four phase II-III clinical trials in the field of oncology and hematology conducted from 2007 to 2017.

Results: the rate of recruitment of patients, other parameters of recruitment of patients and their derivatives, which were influenced by internal factors, were studied.

Conclusions: Patient recruitment is affected by internal factors. This impact can be multidirectional: can increase the number of patients or, conversely, reduce it. Knowing the direction of the influence of a certain factor, it is possible to predict the success of both the recruitment of patients and the success of the clinical trial in general.

A case report of a rare disease associated with antibodies to the basement membrane of the glomeruli of the kidneys (Goodpasture's syndrome) in a young woman is presented. The case is characterized by a typical course of the disease with a high titer of antibodies to the basement membrane of the glomeruli, kidney damage with the formation of terminal renal failure and infiltrative lung damage. The starting point for the development of the disease was probably massive tissue damage after an intense long massage. The diagnosis was confirmed clinically and by immunological data. The patient underwent intensive therapy, including the use of genetic engineering therapy with the subsequent development of covid-19 infection, effectively treated with traditional methods. During the year of observation, stabilization of the autoimmune process was achieved against the background of combination therapy. The difficulty of curing patients with pneumo-renal autoimmune damage and the possibility of achieving a positive course of the disease on the background of multicomponent intensive therapy are emphasized.

Los péptidos natriuréticos son hormonas producidas y secretadas por el aumento de tensión del músculo cardiaco. El péptido natriurético de tipo B N-terminal se ha relacionado con el diagnóstico precoz y seguimiento de la insuficiencia cardiaca; sin embargo, los valores difieren según las características de los pacientes y severidad de la enfermedad. Se realizó la investigación con el objetivo de evaluar el comportamiento del péptido natriurético de tipo B N-terminal en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca atendidos en Hospicor de la ciudad de Manta, Ecuador durante 2017-2021. El estudio fue observacional, descriptivo, correlacional, transversal y retrospectivo, que incluyó variables demográficas, clínicas y analítica de 160 pacientes diagnosticados con fallo cardiaco. Se presentó un predominio de adultos mayores masculinos. La hipertensión arterial, valvulopatías y cardiopatía isquémica fueron patologías asociadas de mayor frecuencia. La principal etiología, la isquémica con prevalencia de la clase funcional II, fracción de eyección reducida, elevado índice de hospitalizaciones y baja mortalidad. Hubo alta correlación entre la elevación del péptido natriurético de tipo B N-terminal y valvulopatías, insuficiencia renal crónica, enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica, clase funcional y pacientes fallecidos. Se concluyó que, el péptido natriurético de tipo B N-terminal es un buen marcador de severidad y pronóstico en el fallo cardiaco.

The present research was carried out in two sites. The first corresponded to the agronomic phase in the province of Orellana, in the Joya de los Sachas canton. The second phase consisted in determining the rumen degradability (bioavailability) of the protein by developing it in the laboratory of Rumiology and Nutritional Metabolism of the Faculty of Animal Sciences at the Quevedo State Technical University, The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of three levels of Zinc metalosate on the bioavailability of protein in Mombaza grass. A randomized complete block design with a 3 x 3 factorial arrangement was used. Nine treatments were distributed in 3 random blocks (fistulated Brahman bulls). The factors under study were zinc metalosate (0, 1 and 2 liters ha-1) and age cut or regrowth (28, 35 and 42 days) and the variables under study Ash bioavailability (protein degradability), Ruminal incubation times (0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours). The zinc metalosate effect stands out at the level of 0 and 1 liter per hectare only after 72 hours of incubation, improving the bioavailability of protein. Regarding the regrowth age effect, it was highlighted that 28 days after cutting the Mombasa grass, the bioavailability of the protein is improved in the incubation times of 48 and 72 hours. The interaction of factors showed that protein bioavailability improved at 0 hours of incubation with the combinations 1 L ha-1 x 35 days and 1 L ha-1 x 42 d.

Efforts to Improve Health Cadres’ Knowledge about Maternal Education Concerning Parental Feeding as a Stunting Prevention
Authors: Amalia Maya
Published: September 2023

Stunting is a condition that results from chronic malnutrition during childhood in low- and middle-income countries. The national prevalence of stunting in children under 5 years is 9 million children out of 24.5 million children. Factors that contribute to stunting include poor feeding and sanitation practices. The purpose of this community service is to provide education to health cadres in the Jaya Mekar Health Center area, West Bandung, regarding parental feeding practices as an effort to prevent stunting. The community service method is to provide education to health cadres through parental feeding booklets. This community service was carried out for 1 day, 10-10-2022, with 26 RW represented by 36 cadres in the Jaya Mekar Public Health Center area, Bandung Barat. The benefits of Community Service are expected after the cadres know about parental feeding, then it becomes a cadre education strategy for mothers (community) about how to give good food for children. The result of this education increases the knowledge of cadres significantly (0.019; 0.001) before and after providing education about parental feeding, then it becomes a cadre education strategy for mothers about how to give good food to children. Recommendations are needed for further programs to monitor cadres in providing education to mothers.
A Framework for the Africanisation of the Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining Sector of South Africa to Improve Sector Formalisation Outcomes
Authors: Coangae Gloria Kenewang , Barnes Neil
Published: September 2023

Attempts to formalise artisanal and small-scale miners (AS miners) have failed in most areas where illegal ASM occurs. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of Africanisation in promoting the formalisation of the ASM sector of South Africa. Due to the acute lack of employment and other challenges associated with ASM, it is important to ensure that the sector is properly formalised to allow communities benefits fully whilst minimising any negative impacts emerging from ASM. Data for this qualitative exploratory research was collected using semi-structured questionnaires from 15 participants. Thematic analysis of the data collected revealed several themes that suggest that considering some tenets of Africanisation can improve formalisation outcomes. These tenets include collectivism and the Ubuntu philosophy. This approach, which has not been actively pursued in previous formalisation initiatives, is a rival to capitalism. This is because the broader community will be the target for the formalisation attempts, not individuals. Adopting the recommendation advanced in this study will allow responsible authorities to manage mineral flows, and environmental damage, as well as to effectively monitor the activities of the AS miners. This study presents a new framework for governing the ASM sector. This framework, which is based on Africanisation, is believed to help address some of the challenges brought about by the neo-colonial aspect of capitalism. Africanisation challenges capitalism because it is concerned with uplifting entire communities, not individuals. This makes community engagement integral to the formalisation of the ASM sector.
