The present study was conducted to study the effect of aerobic packaging system on the storage stability of Rista (meatballs cooked in spiced curry) under refrigeration temperature. A total of three types of Rista developed including: T0 as control Rista (lean meat: animal fat = 90:10 in the formulation), T1 as fiber rich Rista (lean meat: animal fat: Hydrated Wheat Bran=82:10:8 in the formulation) T2 as antioxidant rich Rista (lean meat: animal fat=90:10 in the formulation and fortified with 0.1% Grape Seed Extract) were packaged aerobically in LDPE pouches and stored at refrigeration temperature (4±1oC). The samples were analysed during storage (on days 0, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19). The results revealed that the emulsion stability (%), cooking yield (%), pH and water activity presenting the mean of 93.67, 95.61, 94.47; 91.59, 95.49, 93.38; 6.29, 6.65, 6.54 and 0.98, 0.99, 0.99 in T0, T1 and T2, respectively. The sensory values for various sensory parameters viz appearance, flavour, texture, saltiness and overall acceptability followed a decreasing trend with the storage. The microbial parameters like Standard Plate Count (SPC) increased significantly throughout the storage period; Total Psychrotrophic Count (TPSC) was detected from 13th day of storage and Coliform Count was not detected throughout the storage period. The observations concluded that the product can be stored in aerobically packaged LDPE pouches for 16 days without much change in physicochemical, microbiological and sensory properties at refrigerated storage.

Published: August 2023

This study was conducted to prepare low fat chicken meat balls with incorporation of grape (Vitis vinifera) pomace powder and assess its proximate composition, physico-chemical, sensory and textural properties. Emulsion based low fat chicken meat balls were prepared with the addition of grape pomace powder (GPP) at levels of 2%, 4% and 6%, over and above the amount of meat along with a control. There was a significant (P≤0.05) increase in the crude fibre, total ash and gross energy levels of the meat balls at 4% and 6% level of inclusion of GPP. In the physico-chemical properties, the emulsion pH and product pH significantly (P≤0.05) decreased with increase in the GPP content. In sensory evaluation, the scores for appearance and colour, flavour, juiciness, tenderness and overall acceptability were significantly (P≤0.01) reduced for the 6% GPP treatment. Though the scores of 2% and 4% treatments were significantly (P≤0.05) lower than that of the control, the scores were above the acceptable level. The textural properties of the chicken meat balls significantly (P≤0.05) changed with the addition of GPP. It is concluded emulsion based functional low fat chicken meat balls could be enriched with an optimum level of 4% of grape pomace powder without much affecting the quality characteristics, thus enhancing the dietary fibre content and antioxidant efficacy of the chicken meat balls.

Authors: Aves, Federico A Jr.
Published: August 2023

Wall panels are flat and rectangular in shape and are precast construction materials used as exterior and interior walls in fast-paced constructions because of their time and labor efficiency. This research determined the desired concrete mix of cement, sand fiberglass, and shredded plastic for a lightweight wall panel that conforms to the required strength and physical properties. Quantities of sand, fiberglass and shredded plastic were varied in six designed concrete mixtures. Control mixture 1 and mixture 2 were both classed as normal-weight concrete; however, mixtures 3, 4, 5, and 6 were designated as lightweight concrete. Mix Design 3 was chosen as the best mix design, with a density of 15.79 kN/m3 and the best compression, splitting tensile, and flexure results of 15.446 MPa, 2.304 MPa, and 3.424 MPa, respectively. The density of the wall panel using mixture C was determined to be 1610.113 kg/m3and the compressive strength between 15.446 and 13.204 MPa passed the standard requirement and was way better than the conventional wall using hollow concrete blocks
Assessment of Flexural and Compressive Strengths in Concrete Utilizing Replacement of Coarse Aggregates with Rubber
Authors: Aves, Federico A Jr.
Published: August 2023

Employing waste rubber as a substitute for natural aggregate in concrete presents a promising environmentally conscious solution. The primary objective of this research is to assess the concrete's performance concerning its compressive and flexural strengths when coarse aggregate is partially replaced with recycled rubber. Seven distinct mixes were formulated, encompassing varying degrees of crumb rubber replacing coarse aggregate: 0%, 5%, 15%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% by volume. The rubberized concrete underwent evaluation based on slump, compressive strength, flexural strength, density, and the influence of slight seawater exposure. Notably, the rubberized concrete blends exhibited enhanced workability and reduced density compared to the control mixture. As the proportion of coarse rubber content increased, there was a noticeable decline in compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths. Impressively, the rubberized concrete formulations displayed commendable performance even after a mere 28-day curing period in seawater conditions. The outcomes of this study provide a comprehensive understanding of the implications of integrating recycled rubber into concrete, particularly for various road construction projects prone to regular slight seawater infiltration. This approach is applicable up to a 25 percent volume replacement of rubber particles, underscoring its feasibility and effectiveness

A COMPARISON OF THE WEAK-FORM EFFICIENCY OF THE ASEAN STOCK MARKETS BEFORE AND DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Sook Ching Kok  , Caroline Geetha
Published: August 2023

This paper aims to examine the weak-form efficient market hypothesis (EMH) for the ASEAN stock markets before and during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic is a tremendous threat to the health condition and mortality of the world population. An important prevention step undertaken was to have social distancing at different levels of strictness. The ongoing pandemic has caused some negative consequences, including businesses enduring a period of hardship and stock market declines. It seems to be expected that a recession is coming ahead and therefore some people are unwilling to invest in the stock market. On the other hand, some people are optimistic about the economy of ASEAN countries and may think that the declines in stock markets are opportunities to invest. They believe in mean reversion that the falls in stock prices are only temporary and the prices will rebound after some time. If this is true, the market is inefficient and stock prices can be predicted. Conversely, if stock price movements are random walks, shocks to prices will be permanent and prices will reach new equilibrium aftershocks. Hence the market is efficient and stock prices are unpredictable. This study analyses the movements of ASEAN stock markets’ composite indices before and during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic to find out whether the markets are efficient and thus cannot be predicted. We found that some ASEAN stock markets were efficient in both periods, while some others were showing decreased or increased efficiency from the period before the pandemic to the period during the pandemic.

Authors: Maluwis Maratis  , Jaratin Lily  , Tze Cheng Chew  , Rini Suryati Sulong
Published: August 2023

Firm capabilities become important to SMEs' performance in expanding to foreign markets. Many countries focus on helping these SMEs because of the rapid internalization of competitors. This paper aims to propose a conceptual framework by identifying the determining factor that affects the international performance of Malaysian SMEs. Two capabilities that have determined the international performance of SMEs are market orientation and alliances. This framework was developed based on an extensive literature review. According to the proposed framework, alliances mediate the relationship between market orientation and international performance. Few studies have attempted to investigate the market orientation on international performance with mediating effect of alliances on international performance, especially in developing countries. This paper suggests that future researchers need to pay extra attention to the international performance of SMEs in emerging markets, including Malaysia.

Published: August 2023

The multiobjective optimization problem is addressed in this article using a novel evolutionary technique to find a global solution in the Pareto form. The proposed work is innovative because it applies an evolutionary multi-agent system (EMAS) and NSGA-II from various traditional evolutionary methods. The evolution process in NSGA-II and EMAS enables thorough exploration of search space, and the employed crowdsourcing mechanism facilitate the accurate approximation of the entire Pareto frontier. The technique is explained in this article, and report the initiatory experimental findings. The product line or large configurable system needs to set specifications, architecture, reusable components, and shared products to develop the features of new products. To maintain high quality, a thorough testing process is required. Testing is necessary for each product of the large system, each of which has a varied set of features. Consequently, a multi-objective optimization technique can be used to optimize the large system testing process. The performance of a multi-objective Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) and evolutionary multi-agent system (EMAS) on Feature Models (FMs) to enhance large System testing is reported in this study.

Authors: Zhang Wu
Published: August 2023

Duplicated training data usually downgrades machine learning models' performance. This paper presents a practical algorithm for efficiently deduplicating highly similar news articles in large datasets. Our algorithm comprises three components - document embedding, similarity computation, and clustering - each utilizing specific algorithms and tools to optimize both speed and performance. We utilize the Doc2Vec model to generate document embeddings.We employ Faiss for rapid similarity search. To perform clustering, we make use of the disjoint set data structure. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach by accurately deduplicating over 7 million news articles in less than 4 hours.
Robust Hadith IR using Knowledge-Graphs and Semantic-Similarity Classification
Authors: Shafie Omar , Darwish Kareem , J. Jansen Bernard
Published: August 2023

Hadith is the term used to describe the narration of the sayings and actions of Prophet Mohammad (p.b.u.h.). The study of Hadith can be modeled into a pipeline of tasks performed on a collection of textual data. Although many attempts have been made for developing Hadith search engines, existing solutions are repetitive, text-based, and manually annotated. This research documents 6 Hadith Retrieval methods, discusses their limitations, and introduces 2 methods for robust narrative retrieval. Namely, we address the challenge of user needs by reformulating the problem in a two-fold solution: declarative knowledge-graph querying; and semantic-similarity classification for Takhreej groups retrieving. The classifier was built by fine-tuning an AraBERT transformer model on a 200k pairs sample and scored 90% recall and precision. This work demonstrated how the Hadith Retrieval could be more ef icient and insightful with a user-centered methodology, which is an under-explored area with high potential.
Invertible Neural Network for Time Series Anomaly Detection
Authors: Schwab Malgorzata , Biswas Ashis
Published: August 2023

In this paper we explore the applicability of Invertible Neural Network architecture for anomaly detection techniques on time series data and hypothesize that a reversible network designed with embedded convolutional transformations is an excellent fit for that task. We leverage previous findings on autoencoders as well as deep generative maximum-likelihood training focused primarily on processing images and apply them in the innovative way to the time series data exemplified by electrocardiograms or industrial sensor data. We recognize a challenge of common denominator patterns that occur across the entire sample domain, which might dominate the likelihoods and introduce intrinsic bias. We then mitigate it by applying wavelet transforms to decompose a time series into a set of subcomponents to eliminate low-level similarities between the healthy and abnormal samples. We conclude that the Invertible Neural Network designed to solve inverse problems learns data reconstructions extremely well, and thus provides a remarkable solution for anomaly detection that is applicable to medical diagnostics, as well as other use cases in the similar problem space, such as predictive maintenance or detecting out-of-distribution inputs to protect integrity of systems relying on machine learning components.

Playing, in addition to being a source of entertainment and something essential in Early Childhood Education, encourages the full development of the child, because playing they begin to express their personality and emotions. Playing as a pedagogical proposal aims to show that stimulated games are capable of contributing to the physical, cognitive, motor and emotional development of the child. Playing is a fundamental moment for the child, because it is at this stage that the subject is formed, developing his creativity in his social context in which he is inserted. Therefore, providing opportunities for playful experiences in order to create the possibility of enchantment, provides learning in their daily lives. Playing in early childhood education should not be considered only superficial, worthless games, because in playing, fantasies forces wake up and live, which in turn, has a direct action on the formation and structuring of the child’s thinking. Playing constitutes the most important and decisive basic form of the human being, it makes the child’s creative forces blossom and activate. Children’s fantasy needs, in order to be able to develop through the active and curious handling of the material, that the child has the opportunity to experience in the world, the forms and the quality of everything that is around him

Published: August 2023

A drenagem venosa pulmonar anômala é uma condição congênita na qual as veias pulmonares não se conectam adequadamente ao átrio esquerdo do coração. Em vez disso, elas podem apresentar conexões anômalas com a veia cava superior, veia cava inferior ou diretamente com o átrio direito. Isso resulta em um fluxo sanguíneo anormal e pode levar a complicações cardiovasculares. A avaliação da drenagem venosa pulmonar anômala envolve o uso de exames de imagem, como tomografia computadorizada (TC), ressonância magnética (RM) e ecocardiografia. Esses exames fornecem informações detalhadas sobre a anatomia vascular, as conexões anômalas das veias pulmonares e possíveis malformações cardíacas associadas. Os achados radiológicos na drenagem venosa pulmonar anômala incluem a identificação das conexões anômalas das veias pulmonares, direcionando o fluxo sanguíneo para outras estruturas vasculares. A presença de dilatação, estenose ou outras alterações morfológicas nos vasos pulmonares também pode ser observada. Além disso, a avaliação do fluxo sanguíneo através das conexões anômalas é essencial para entender a hemodinâmica e determinar a gravidade da condição. A presença de complicações, como sobrecarga ventricular direita ou hipertensão pulmonar, também pode ser avaliada por meio dos exames de imagem. A integração dos achados radiológicos com informações clínicas, como sintomas, histórico médico e resultados de outros exames, é fundamental para um diagnóstico preciso e um plano de tratamento adequado. A compreensão dos achados radiológicos na drenagem venosa pulmonar anômala é crucial para a orientação terapêutica, que pode incluir cirurgia corretiva ou intervenções minimamente invasivas.

Published: August 2023

A lesão do ligamento cruzado posterior (LCP) é uma lesão comum que afeta o joelho, resultando em instabilidade e disfunção do mesmo. O ligamento cruzado posterior desempenha um papel importante na estabilidade do joelho, evitando que a tíbia deslize para trás em relação ao fêmur. Quando ocorre uma lesão no LCP, podem ocorrer diversos sintomas, como instabilidade, dor, inchaço e dificuldade em realizar atividades físicas. O diagnóstico da lesão do LCP é baseado na avaliação clínica, história do paciente e exames de imagem, como a ressonância magnética (RM), que permite avaliar a integridade do ligamento e detectar lesões associadas. O tratamento pode ser conservador, com fisioterapia e reabilitação, ou cirúrgico, dependendo da gravidade da lesão e das demandas funcionais do paciente.A abordagem conservadora inclui exercícios de fortalecimento muscular, alongamento, controle do inchaço e reeducação proprioceptiva. Já a cirurgia é indicada em casos de lesões graves, lesões associadas ou quando o paciente necessita de uma estabilidade articular maior para atividades específicas.Após a cirurgia, a reabilitação desempenha um papel fundamental na recuperação do paciente. O processo de reabilitação visa restaurar a força muscular, a estabilidade e a função do joelho, permitindo um retorno gradual às atividades normais.É importante ressaltar que a lesão do LCP pode estar associada a outras lesões ligamentares e estruturais do joelho, como lesões meniscais e cartilaginosas. Portanto, uma avaliação completa e adequada é essencial para um tratamento eficaz e melhores resultados a longo prazo. Em conclusão, a lesão do ligamento cruzado posterior é uma condição que pode causar instabilidade e disfunção do joelho. O diagnóstico precoce, o tratamento adequado e a reabilitação efetiva desempenham um papel crucial na recuperação e no retorno às atividades normais. A escolha do tratamento depende da gravidade da lesão, das necessidades funcionais do paciente e da presença de lesões associadas.

O desenvolvimento de deficiências em pacientes com esclerose múltipla (EM) é influenciado por diversos fatores conhecidos como determinantes. Esses determinantes envolvem fatores genéticos, ambientais, imunológicos, clínicos e terapêuticos, que interagem de maneira complexa ao longo da evolução da doença. Fatores genéticos desempenham um papel importante na suscetibilidade à EM e podem influenciar a resposta ao tratamento. Além disso, fatores ambientais, como infecções virais, exposição ao estresse e deficiências de vitamina D, também podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento da doença e agravar as deficiências neurológicas. A atividade inflamatória e a frequência de surtos têm um impacto direto no curso das deficiências em pacientes com EM. Terapias modificadoras da doença (TMDs) são fundamentais para controlar a inflamação, reduzir a ocorrência de surtos e preservar a função neurológica, evitando o agravamento das deficiências ao longo do tempo. O tipo de EM de um paciente e a escolha adequada do tratamento também são determinantes cruciais na evolução das deficiências. Terapias específicas podem ser mais eficazes em determinados subtipos de EM, influenciando a progressão da doença de forma diferenciada. As interações entre esses determinantes destacam a necessidade de uma abordagem individualizada no tratamento da EM. Cada paciente deve ser avaliado de forma abrangente, levando em consideração os fatores genéticos, ambientais e clínicos, para planejar uma estratégia terapêutica adequada e personalizada. Em conclusão, a compreensão dos determinantes do desenvolvimento de deficiência em pacientes com esclerose múltipla é essencial para melhorar a qualidade de vida e a funcionalidade desses indivíduos. A pesquisa contínua nessa área é fundamental para aprimorar as estratégias terapêuticas e para oferecer um melhor cuidado aos pacientes afetados por essa complexa doença neurológica.

Android adalah sistem yang kompleks, yang komponen dan aplikasinya dimaksudkan untuk bekerja bersama, menimbulkan hubungan saling ketergantungan yang sangat rumit di antara. Sementara itu, ekosistem Android dikenal sangat beragam dan terdesentralisasi: setiap versi OS dikustomisasi dan dikustomisasi ulang oleh berbagai pihak hampir secara independen dan digunakan oleh siapa saja yang dapat membuat aplikasi untuk versi tersebut. Android melindungi aset informasinya melalui kotak pasir aplikasi dan model izin, di mana setiap aplikasi berjalan dalam kompartemennya sendiri dan hanya dapat mengakses sumber daya global yang sensitif dan komponen aplikasi lainnya (penyedia konten, layanan, aktivitas, penerima broadcast) dengan izin yang tepat. Penelitian ini menggunakan pengurkuran Harehunter dengan tujuan untuk mendeteksi kerentanan Hare dalam aplikasi sistem Android secara otomatis. Eveluasi kinerja Harehunter dan HareGuard dilakukan dalam penelitian ini, yang keduanya terbukti sangat efektif. Pendekatan yang diguanakan disini adalah analisis diferensial, dengan mencari semua kode yang diekstrak, didekompilasi, dan file manifes untuk definisi atribut yang ditargetkan sebagai langkap awal, dan menjalankan parser XML. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dampak Hares sangat signifikan. Penerapan HareGuard dalam penelitian ini terbukti efektif dalam mendeteksi semua aplikasi serangan yang dibuat. Evaluasi lebih lanjut terhadap kinerja berdampak pada inang sistem minimum. Untuk penelitian dimasa depan, agar Harehunter lebih efektif, disarankan untuk menggunakan pengaalisa yang lebih mumpuni. Sehingga arah ini dapat dieksplorasi lebih dalam lagi.

Abstract. Chemical transport models (CTMs) are widely used for air pollution modeling, which suffer from significant biases due to uncertainties in simplified parameterization, meteorological fields, and emission inventories. Accurate diagnosis of simulation biases is critical for improvement of models, interpretation of results, and efficient air quality management, especially for the simulation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). In this study, an efficient method based on machine learning (ML) was designed to diagnose the drivers of the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model biases in simulating PM2.5 concentrations from three perspectives of meteorology, chemical composition, and emission sources. The source-oriented CMAQ were used to diagnose influences of different emission sources on PM2.5 biases. The ML models showed good fitting ability with small performance gap between training and validation. The CMAQ model underestimates PM2.5 by -19.25 to -2.66 μg/m3 in 2019, especially in winter and spring and high PM2.5 events. Secondary organic components showed the largest contribution to PM2.5 simulation bias for different regions and seasons (13.8–22.6 %) among components. Relative humidity, cloud cover, and soil surface moisture were the main meteorological factors contributing to PM2.5 bias in the North China Plain, Pearl River Delta, and northwestern, respectively. Both primary and secondary inorganic components from residential sources showed the largest contribution (12.05 % and 12.78 %), implying large uncertainties in this sector. The ML-based methods provide valuable complements to traditional mechanism-based methods for model improvement, with high efficiency and low reliance on prior information.

Nepotism, which is also expressed with concepts such as favor and favor, which is common in every institution in the working life of today's society; It also means that the concepts of merit, equality and rights are not accepted. People are included in the staff because of their relationships with other people. It is a kind of corruption that shakes the integrity of the organization, supports people and is against ethical rules. It can be said that if a person's life is made much easier than others, even though he does not deserve it, there is favoritism. It is unethical behavior, especially in matters such as salary, acceptance and promotion. The favoritism of school administrators negatively affects teachers' working efficiently in the organization. Considering the extent to which teachers are affected by favoritism and how this is reflected in their job performance, important points such as alienation from work, wanting to quit, damaging the sense of belonging to the institution, and decrease in performance and willingness to work are striking. There is a general opinion that especially school administrators/principals favor more in task sharing. When the literature is examined, when we look at the generalization, this situation makes the teachers who see favoritism feel happy and valuable in the first place. However, after the other members of the organization realize this situation, individuals are exposed to marginalization and isolation. From the point of view of the individual, they feel obliged to do extra work that they are not responsible for, due to the debt of gratitude and embarrassment to the manager who displays a favourite.
