Negative impact of Ponzi Schemes on Crypto-market
Authors: Gupta Mandeep
Published: July 2024

Ponzi schemes have had a profoundly negative impact on the cryptocurrency market, eroding investor confidence, attracting stringent regulatory scrutiny, and contributing to significant market volatility. High-profile scams such as BitConnect have led to substantial financial losses, fostering skepticism towards new and legitimate cryptocurrency projects. The increased regulatory scrutiny resulting from these schemes has led to stricter regulations, potentially stifling innovation and growth within the market. Additionally, the negative media coverage associated with Ponzi schemes perpetuates the perception that the cryptomarket is rife with fraud, deterring mainstream adoption and fostering a biased public view. This paper explores the multifaceted negative impacts of Ponzi schemes on the cryptomarket, highlighting their role in undermining trust, instigating legal repercussions, and causing market instability. The findings underscore the need for enhanced regulatory frameworks and investor education to mitigate the risks associated with Ponzi schemes and restore confidence in the burgeoning field of cryptocurrency.

Published: July 2024

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is an autonomic condition characterized by the presence of a >30 bpm increase in heart rate, accompanied by orthostatic symptoms, including heart palpitations, light-headedness, weakness, blurred vision, nausea, and headache. Females are commonly affected by POTS at childbearing age. This case series aims to compare the clinical presentations, autonomic dysfunction management, and pregnancy outcomes of four women with POTS. In our autonomic neurology clinic, the goal for our patients is consistent blood pressure during pregnancy. The patients were all interviewed retrospectively to determine pregnancy outcomes. Our study indicates the need for neurologists to collaborate with a team of maternal-fetal medicine specialists with advanced training in high-risk pregnancies to optimize autonomic function throughout the course of pregnancy. In addition, our results suggest that reducing medications to minimize harm can be achieved through regular monitoring at 1 – 3 month intervals during pregnancy, with a 6-week postpartum evaluation.
Factors influencing male fertility in Uganda
Authors: Nsobya Henry , Nansubuga Elizabeth , Misinde Cyprian
Published: July 2024

Male fertility is an important component of population research. Against this backdrop, this paper aims to examine the factors explaining male fertility changes in Uganda. The authors applied the own-children method, as described by Schoumaker, to understand the prevailing male total fertility rate trends and to select datasets for inclusion during the multivariate analysis, using the Uganda demographic health surveys conducted from 2006 to 2016. A multivariable Poisson decomposition regression model was used to examine factors associated with male fertility changes. This model analyzed data from the 2006 and 2016 surveys only and included a total sample size of 7839 male respondents. The outcome variable for the regression model was children ever born (CEB). The regression model showed that differences related to changes in the proportional composition of characteristics contributed 113% to the change in CEB, compared with the differences due to reproductive behavior, with other factors being kept constant. The most important proportional changes that led to meaningful variability in CEB were observed among the following characteristics: occupation, number of current wives, total number of lifetime partners, type of residence, education, and age at first childbirth. Thus, interventions to delay the formation of cohabitation and marriage unions and the onset of childbirth or fatherhood among adolescents and young men below the age of 25 should be prioritized as potent fertility regulation measures. In addition, the focus on eliminating the lack of education and primary education as the highest levels attained among boys and men should be prioritized to boost a rapid male fertility transition in Uganda.

Unbacked Cryptomoney, Fiscal Evasion and Environment Tax: Some Policy Recommendations in Europe
Authors: Boulanguer Camille , Goldman Sarah , Jandah Maya , Marinova Tsvetelina
Published: July 2024

In a 2019 New York Times article, Paul Krugman declared himself a “crypto skeptic” and shared his pessimistic predictions for cryptocurrencies. Nevertheless, unbacked cryptomoney is now very important in our societies and has revolutionized the monetary and financial landscape as exemplified by the increased pressure from competent regulators to monitor and regulate it. Cryptocurrencies are described by their high volatility that permits regulators to define them as non-safe financial assets when it comes to energy consumption. The anonymous property of cryptocurrencies opens the door to tax evasion, making it especially susceptible to avoiding environment-related taxes aimed at tackling negative impact of climate change. Against this background, the paper sets a twofold aim: to demonstrate that unbacked cryptomoney is volatile and it may pose a threat to financial and fiscal stability; and to develop the idea that, given their different degrees of anonymity and their decentralisation nature, cryptocurrencies could actively participate in the process of tax evasion and therefore incur high costs for countries. Given the general ecological condition and ensuing concerns, it is clear that avoiding eco-taxes represents a serious issue since money from eco-taxation could have been invested in environmental social and governance projects. Therefore, a clear and compelling legal framework should be implemented worldwide to reduce the tax evasion phenomena via cryptomoney channels.
Implications of EU Economic and Financial Sanctions against Russian Federation
Authors: Trifonova Roxana
Published: July 2024

In view of the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation and the provocation of the conflict in Donbas in 2014, the EU adopted and implemented Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 of 31 July 2014 in reaction to Russia’s measures undermining Ukraine’s territorial integrity as well as the sovereignty and independence of the country. This period is characterized by erosion of bilateral trade and economic relations between the EU and Russia. After the beginning of Russia’s war against Ukraine in February 2022, the European Union adopted a new series of economic and financial sanctions towards Russia: restrictions on trade; a SWIFT ban for certain Russian banks; restrictions on Russia’s access to the EU’s capital and financial markets and services; a ban on transactions with the Russian Central Bank and others. In the autumn of 2022 the conflict further escalated with the so-called “partial mobilization” in Russia and the further unlawful referenda for annexation of Ukrainian territories. Two years later (February 2024), the war is still raging and the European Union continues its policy of adopting new packages of sanctions against Russia.

Introduction. Ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) is a good option for Gram-negative bacilli infections that produce carbapenemase Classes A (especially blaKPC) and D (blaOXA). However, it is unknown whether it would have an impact on metallo-β-lactamases (blaMBL) selection. The aim of the study was to compare carbapenem and CZA Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN) susceptibility profiles for a period of two years following the introduction of CZA. Material and methods. The study was conducted in a 36-bed adult ICU of a tertiary hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Antimicrobial consumption was expressed as days of treatment per 100 patients-day (DOT). Results. A total of 123 KPN strains in the first year and 172 in the second year were analyzed. An alarming decrease in carbapenem susceptibility was detected in the second year (OR 0.5 [0.3-0.8] p<.001). In parallel, there was a decrease in CZA susceptibility (OR 0.5 [0.3-0.9] p<.05). These findings were linked to a rise in blaMBL-KPN (32.1% vs. 45.1%, OR 1.7 [1.1-2.9], p <.04) during the second year. This new KPN susceptibility profile promoted an increment in CZA (1.0 DOT vs. 6.6 DOT, OR 6.6 [4.9-9.1] p<.001) and aztreonam (0.3 DOT vs. 4.1 DOT, OR 16.3 [9.1-29.3] p<.001) consumption. Thus, there was a decrease in carbapenem prescription (17.8 DOT vs. 15.4 DOT, OR 0.8 [0.8-0.9] p<.001). Conclusions. There was an escalation of blaMBL-KPN rate two years after CZA introduction, leading to a decrease in CZA and carbapenem susceptibility and an increase in CZA and aztreonam prescriptions.

The construction project of the Polresta Denpasar Multi-Purpose Building experienced delays due to the Eid al-Fitr holiday, resulting in a 9.35% setback, equivalent to 19 days. In the 20th week, the planned progress was 66.52%, but actual progress was only 57.17%. With 76 days remaining for the project's completion, the least cost analysis method was applied to find the optimal cost and time for completing the remaining work by increasing the workforce. This approach aims to ensure the project is completed on time and the contractor avoids penalties. The penalty is 1/1000 (1 ‰) of the contract value. The analysis used primary data such as interviews and project observations, and secondary data including contractor unit price analysis, budget plans (RAB), and S-curves. The data was analyzed from the remaining project work, crashing duration, to finding the cost slope for each task, and then using the least cost analysis method to determine the optimal cost and time. The analysis results showed that the optimized project cost after acceleration was Rp 3,077,713,130.90, with the project duration reduced from 76 days to 57 days, accelerated by 19 days. This acceleration saved costs by Rp 18,428,493.93. By applying this method, the project is expected to be completed faster without compromising quality, and the contractor can avoid delay penalties. This approach helps in time efficiency and budget management, ensuring all resources are used optimally and the project is completed on target.
Enhanced Harmonic Suppression for a Miniaturized Hairpin-Line Bandpass Filter with Meander Spurline
Authors: Das Tarun Kumar , Chatterjee Sayan
Published: July 2024

The design of a fourth-order centrally corrugated double-folded hairpin line bandpass filter with a broad stopband and enhanced selectivity is demonstrated in this article. Initially, a double-folded hairpin-line bandpass filter (DFHLBF) is designed from a fourth-order conventional hairpin-line bandpass filter (CHLBF), which is centred at 2.5 GHz and has a fractional bandwidth of 3%. This results in a 68% size reduction. With this folding mechanism, the filter's skirt characteristic is only enhanced at the upper passband edge, resulting in an attenuation level of 40 dB at 2.65 GHz. The capacitive loading has then been incorporated by periodic rectangular corrugations that have disturbed the folded arms. Because of the high capacitive coupling between the folded arms, a symmetrical passband with an attenuation level better than 40 dB at both edges has been observed. Besides, a size reduction of 14% than that for the DFHLBF has been achieved. However, because of the imbalance of the modal phase velocities in the inhomogeneous microstrip filter construction, the stopband's attenuation level climbs to 8 dB. Rectangular meander spurlines have been added between the connected arms of the neighbouring centrally corrugated cells of the filters as a way to lower the attenuation levels of the harmonics. This creates a slow-wave effect between the odd- and even-modes of the propagating signals. This results in an overall size reduction of 81% over the standard hairpin-line filter and an enlarged stopband of up to 4.36f0 with a rejection level of 42 dB.

Published: July 2024

Global corporate operations are facing significant challenges as a result of climate change. Businesses are exposed to a variety of dangers because of their effects, which might include anything from changing regulations to excessive weather. The objective of this research is to examine the connection between business risk and climate change, with a particular emphasis on the success of different adaptation and mitigation tactics used by Greek companies. A cross-sectional study was carried out among 345 enterprises in Greece using a quantitative research methodology. To investigate the relationship involving company risk management, adaptation, and mitigation plans with climate change risks, descriptive, correlational, and regression analyses are employed. Businesses are most distressed about the financial risks associated with climate change, followed by supply chain disruptions and physical hazards. Moreover, developing climate-resilient infrastructure and enhancing catastrophe preparedness have evolved into vital adaptation tactics. Also, converting to renewable energy sources is the most preferred approach to mitigation initiatives. Furthermore, the study demonstrated a significant positive correlation between climate change mitigation strategies and effective business risk management. Nevertheless, as perceived climate change risks increased, business risk management effectiveness decreased. The study suggests that Greek businesses are actively engaging in climate change risk management strategies that embrace both adaptation and mitigation strategies. Yet, the study recommends a continued focus on developing resilient infrastructure and collaborative efforts with local communities, governments, and NGOs. Businesses should also prioritize the shift to renewable energy sources to better mitigate their carbon emissions. This research contributes significantly to understanding how companies can strategically address the challenges of climate change. Furthermore, the study provides valuable insights into the dynamics of climate change adaptation and mitigation in a specific geographical area, thereby enhancing the global dialogue on climate resilience and sustainable business practices.
Medical Image Classification using a Many to Many Relation, Multilayered Fuzzy Systems and AI

Published: July 2024

One of the research gaps in the medical sciences is the study of orphan diseases or rare diseases, due to limited data availability of rare diseases. Our previous study addressed this successfully by developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based medical image classification method using a multilayer fuzzy approach (MFA), for detecting and classifying image abnormalities for large and very small datasets. A fuzzy system is an AI system used to handle imprecise data. There are more than three types of fuzziness in any image data set: 1) due to a projection of a 3D object on a 2D surface, 2) due to the digitalization of the scan, and 3) conversion of the digital image to grayscale, and more. Thus, this was referred to in the previous study as a multilayer fuzzy system, since fuzziness arises from multiple sources. The method used in MFA involves comparing normal images containing abnormalities with the same kind of image without abnormalities, yielding a similarity measure percentage that, when subtracted from a hundred, reveals the abnormality. However, relying on a single standard image in the MFA reduces efficiency, since images vary in contrast, lighting, and patient demographics, impacting similarity percentages. To mitigate this, the current study focused on developing a more robust medical image classification method than MFA, using a many-to-many relation and a multilayer fuzzy approach (MCM) that employs multiple diverse standard images to compare with the abnormal image. For each abnormal image, the average similarity was calculated across multiple normal images, addressing issues encountered with MFA, and enhancing versatility. In this study, an AI-based method of image analysis automation that utilizes fuzzy systems was applied to a cancer data set for the first time. MCM proved to be highly efficient in detecting the abnormality in all types of images and sample sizes and surpassed the gold standard, the convolutional neural network (CNN), in detecting the abnormality in images from a very small data set. Moreover, MCM detects and classifies abnormality without any training, validation, or testing steps for large and small data sets. Hence, MCM may be used to address one of the research gaps in medicine, which detects, quantifies, and classifies images related to rare diseases with small data sets. This has the potential to assist a physician with early detection, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment planning of several diseases, especially rare diseases.

Authors: Rai Antara I Made Agung , Yunik Anggreni Ni Putu
Published: July 2024

This study aims to analyse management business and hospitality studentsâ€™ difficulties in speaking and their strategies to improve them. This study was qualitative research using descriptive qualitative analysis. There were 10 students used as respondents. They were interviewed regarding their difficulties encountered in speaking English and their tactics to solve the problems. The research showed that there some difficulties faced by students such as lack of confidence, pronunciation, vocabularies, and grammar. However, they also implement some strategies to enhance their speaking skill such as memorize vocabularies, watch video in English, listen English song, read article in twitter, practice speaking in front of mirror, watch youtube, tiktok, learn from people who are smarter from them and use application such as hilokal to interact with people from other countries. It is recommended that the emphasis of teaching and learning in speaking should focus more on how to build the studentsâ€™ self confidence so that they will have the confidence to interact with their friends and teachers.

The Great Game of Space: Space Political Adventurism and Battle for Superpower Status Beyond the Horizons
Authors: Asma Rashid
Published: July 2024

Wars will not be fought on the grounds in future, but explosions will occur beyond horizons. The subject of advanced strategies of Great Powers, space militarization, and political adventurism of China, USA, and Russia has been extensively inscribed in this research paper. The paper mainly reflects the political stratagem and space arms race of Russia, China, and the USA, which are combating each other for power status in orbits of space. As China and Russia challenge USA dominance in space, the USA seeks to weaponize space to maintain its supremacy and counter these rivals. The evolving international structure and world order are steering warfare into new dimensions, with space militarization posing nontraditional security threats like spying, surveillance, space debris, and satellite destruction. Technology has advanced to the point where states have developed sophisticated spy satellites and anti-satellite weapons capable of targeting other satellites from space or the ground. Despite international legal efforts and multilateral cooperation, major powers continue to expand their space arsenals, creating national security concerns. The study argues that international institutions have failed to curb the space arms race due to their ineffectiveness. Thus, there is a need for a shift in focus to find common ground and resolve this space security conflict. The paper provides a theoretical overview of the role of international institutions and state behavior in the international system. Using qualitative research techniques, the study conducts in-depth exploration through secondary data gathered from various articles, journals, reports, vlogs, videos, and magazines. Descriptive and explanatory research approaches are employed to achieve the research objectives.
Violating Peace: Sex, Aid, and Peacekeeping by Jasmine-Kin Westendorf
Authors: Maira Safdar
Published: July 2024

This book review covers the insightful examination of the crucial yet understudied issue of sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) in UN peacekeeping operations. Westendorf deconstructs SEA practices and critiques the persistent lack of accountability, despite a decade of UN policy development aimed at prevention. She underscores the profound implications of SEA on the effectiveness and credibility of peacekeeping missions. Westendorf's book significantly contributes to scholarly and policy discussions, highlighting the challenges that undermine peacekeeping and peacebuilding in conflict-ridden societies where SEA is most prevalent.

Effect of levels-of-processing on rates of forgetting
Authors: Peng Nan , Logie Robert H. , Della Sala Sergio
Published: July 2024

The levels-of-processing (LOP) framework, proposing that deep processing yields superior retention, has provided an important paradigm for memory research and a practical means of improving learning. However, the available levels-of-processing literature focuses on immediate memory performance. It is assumed within the LOP framework that deep processing will lead to slower forgetting than will shallow processing. However, it is unclear whether, or how, the initial level of processing affects the forgetting slopes over longer retention intervals. The present three experiments were designed to explore whether items encoded at qualitatively different LOP are forgotten at different rates. In the first two experiments, depth of processing was manipulated within-participants at encoding under deep and shallow conditions (semantic vs. rhyme judgement in Experiment 1; semantic vs. consonant-vowel pattern decision in Experiment 2). Recognition accuracy (d prime) was measured between-participants immediately after learning and at 30-min, 2-h, and 24-h delays. The third experiment employed a between-participants design, contrasting the rates of forgetting following semantic and phonological (rhyme) processing at immediate, 30-min, 2-h, and 6-h delays. Results from the three experiments consistently demonstrated a large effect size of levels of processing on immediate performance and a medium-to-large level effect size on delayed recognition, but crucially no LOP × delay group interaction. Analysis of the retention curves revealed no significant differences between the slopes of forgetting for deep and shallow processing. These results suggest that the rates of forgetting are independent of the qualitatively distinct encoding operations manipulated by levels of processing.

Economic development in Indonesia with technological advances has a significant impact. Innovation and new technological breakthroughs today in the financial sector using Fintech or financial technology. Fintech initially only existed in the conventional financial system, but along with the times, fintech has now entered the Islamic financial system. The purpose of this study is to analyze fintech in the economy in Indonesia through an Islamic perspective. The type of research used is to use literature studies obtained from various sources. This research is descriptive and qualitative. The data used is secondary data. The data collection technique is to use literature review to examine the theoretical basis related to fintech concepts and mechanisms that are currently developing rapidly in accordance with the principles of Islamic law. As well as knowledge of the development of sharia fintech as the main basis for building correlations between practice and theory based on Islamic perspectives. This research produces Fintech in an Islamic perspective, offering alternative choices to people who use financial technology services, especially for people who want to avoid the trap of usury, because the fact that occurs almost entirely contains elements of usury. However, muamalah is not only important in terms of economic value but must also be of worship value so that muamalah activities become a blessing of participation.
