Authors: Rusman Rusman , Junaidi M. , Hidayat Rahmat , Badollahi Muh. Zainuddin , Hapsa Hapsa
Published: May 2024

This research aims to understand the processes and effects of internalizing paddisengeng values by the Bugis-Bone ethnicity residing in Masamba Village. This research uses an ethnographic analysis. Ethnographic analysis is an approach that begins with field facts, analyzes them based on cultural theories and relevant arguments to explore the cultural situation of the community, and ultimately yields a conclusion. The results show that the process of internalizing paddisengeng values by the Bugis-Bone ethnicity in Masamba Village, which includes the stages of introduction and understanding as well as acceptance and integration, has successfully instilled values such as compassion, honesty, integrity, honor, decorum, hard work, migration, and religious morality. However, the internalization has also presented challenges, particularly regarding the shift in siri’ values that may encourage ostentatious and vanity behavior, potentially reducing social coherence. Therefore, it is recommended that the Department of Education and Culture of Poso Regency, parents, and the Bugis-Bone ethnicity in Masamba Village continue nurturing and developing the practice of internalizing paddisengeng values. The Department of Education and Culture can support this initiative through educational programs that integrate cultural values into the school curriculum and cultural activities that raise awareness of the importance of these values for the younger generation. Parents are advised to continue teaching their children these values in ways relevant to modern life, emphasizing the importance of hard work, honesty, and integrity without losing the true essence of siri’ values. The Bugis-Bone ethnicity needs to maintain constructive intergenerational dialogue to ensure that these values are preserved and creatively adapted to face the challenges of the times. Through this collaborative approach, paddisengeng values are expected to continue serving as a strong foundation for the Bugis-Bone ethnicity in Masamba Village, enriching their cultural heritage while remaining responsive and adaptive to social changes.
Factors Driving Exclusion and Discrimination of Elmolo in Kenya: A Case of El Molo in Turkana County
Authors: Evans Otieno
Published: May 2024

The indigenous peoples in Kenya face a huge hurdle in protecting their fundamental rights and freedoms due to lack recognition as distinct groups with specific needs, cultures, and ways of life. This study sought to address to identify and map the El-Molo community in Turkana County, documenting varying levels of marginalization among different demographics and understanding the structure through which the community coordinates and advocates for their rights and development. The study focused on 1,104 El Molo residents in Kalokol, Longech, and Kapua, and utilized a descriptive research design. The researcher employed key informant interviews as well as Focus Group Discussions to collect primary data. To ensure the reliability of the findings, a triangulation of methods was utilized, including interviews with local chiefs, ministry officials, and representatives of faith-based organizations in Central Turkana. During public Baraza and FGD, a checklist was used to guide the discussions. The El-Molo community, the smallest ethnic group in Kenya, is at risk of losing their distinct identity through intermarriage and the adoption of Western practices from neighbouring tribes. Without intervention, their traditional food, clothing, housing, and cultural practices will disappear. Therefore, it is crucial to expose the community to methods of preserving their heritage, including material culture, music, and dance
A Review on Green Synthesis of Nanoparticles Using Natural Gums
Authors: Rani Neeraj , Sanjeev  , Sachin  , Kumar Sukender , Sonia Narwal  , Rakesh Redu
Published: May 2024

The nanoparticles due to their nano-size can convey the drug at nanoscales and distribute it to the targeted site in a required design. Their specialized mechanism of uptake enables the enhanced bioavailability of a drug. The formulation of nanoparticles may be done using synthetic, semisynthetic, or natural polymers. Synthetic polymers employed for the development of nanoparticles can cause toxicity but the use of natural polymers can facilitate a non-toxic process for the synthesis. It is a recent trend to use natural materials in place of synthetic ones. Natural gums can be employed as natural reducing and capping agents for just nanotechnology production, and they may indirectly or directly impact the formulation's release and absorption rates. In other cases, they can have a medicinal synergic application to nano-formulations. The involvement of polymers to formulate the nanoparticles is contingent on their physical and chemical properties and the drug to be loaded. Natural gums act as an excellent template for drug loading and may be used as nanoparticles for controlled release properties. This review tried to give light on various natural gums that can be utilized for the synthesis of nanoparticles.

Published: May 2024

Background: The leaves extracts of Crinum solapurense are examined for in-vivo antidiabetic pharmacological action.
Methods: Plant material including different multi-component mixes has a large number of bioactive chemicals. Therefore, it is crucial to separate and determine these compounds which have active phytoconstituents are responsible for the pharmacological action. The extracts for action in-vivo antidiabetic investigation from the leaves extract of Crinum solapurense are the subject of the current research project. From the leaves, ethanolic extracts of the medicinal plant Crinum solapurense, two alkaloid compounds—gulonic acid & shikimic acid—were identified. The alkaloids found in the phytoconstituents of Crinum solapurense leaves may be the cause of their pharmacological action.
Results: In the DNSA inhibition assay method the IC50 value was observed to be 5.31 & 11.17 μg/ml for shikimic acid & gulonic acid correspondingly. In the Iodine-Starch Technique the IC50 value was observed to be 9.91 & 12.70 μg/ml for shikimic acid & gulonic acid correspondingly. In the In-vivo animal study of Gulonic acid in the group that was not given any treatment, diabetic rats displayed considerable weight loss at the end of the trial (p ˂0.001). When dexamethasone was administered, the diabetic group's blood glucose levels significantly increased in comparison to the control group (p is equal to 0.01). Two parameters were improved in a dosage-dependent way when mice were given glibenclamide or gulonic acid at a dose of 50.00 or 100.00 milligrams per kilogram body weight. Diabetes led to a substantial rise in HbA1c (p˂0.05) in the group of diabetics who were not receiving treatment.
Conclusion: Based on the in-vivo animal study it was concluded that the leaves extracts of Crinum solapurense show significant effects of antidiabetic pharmacological action in diabetes induced animals.

Authors: Tan Zhang , Qinghui Zhang , Jie Wu , Jinwan He
Published: May 2024

Postoperative delirium is a common and severe complication among elderly surgical patients . This study aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative nutritional status and the incidence of postoperative delirium among elderly surgical patients. This cross-sectional study enrolled 210 elderly patients (≥65 years) who underwent elective surgery. Nutritional status was assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment tool, and postoperative delirium was evaluated using the confusion assessment method. Of the 210 patients, 57% were well-nourished, 33% were at risk of malnutrition, and 10% were malnourished. The incidence of postoperative delirium was 14.3%. A statistically significant association was observed between malnutrition and the incidence of postoperative delirium (P < 0.05). Malnourished patients had 3.4 times greater odds of developing postoperative delirium than well-nourished patients (P < 0.05). The average length of hospital stays and complication rates were directly correlated with nutritional status. Malnourished patients had substantially longer hospital stays and higher complication rates than others (P < 0.05). Additionally, age and surgical duration were identified as considerable predictors of postoperative delirium. Malnutrition is thus substantially associated with an increased risk of postoperative delirium and other adverse postoperative outcomes in elderly surgical patients. These findings highlighted the importance of preoperative nutritional assessments and interventions as part of the standard care protocols for improving surgical outcomes in the elderly.
Actitudes Hacia la Homosexualidad en Estudiantes de Licenciatura Panameños de Psicología, Ingeniería y Bellas Artes
Authors: Trejos Rolando F. , Britton Gabrielle B.
Published: May 2024

Las actitudes hacia la homosexualidad han mejorado alrededor del mundo; pero, la mejoría no se ha producido por igual en todos los países y territorios. Varios estudios han evaluado las actitudes hacia las personas LGBTQAI+ en estudiantes universitarios, sin embargo, la forma en la cual el género, los programas de estudio, la religiosidad intrínseca, y el racismo moderno juegan un papel en las actitudes hacia la homosexualidad en estudiantes universitarios aún es incierto. Este estudio transversal pretende examinar las actitudes hacia la homosexualidad entre 173 estudiantes universitarios de la Universidad de Panamá, evaluando el rol de factores sociodemográficos (género y programa) y estructurales (religiosidad y racismo moderno). Aquellos estudiantes universitarios de 18 años o más matriculados en un programa de licenciatura en psicología, ingeniería o bellas artes fueron elegibles para este estudio. La muestra incluyó 79 estudiantes de licenciatura en psicología (46,0%), 57 de ingeniería (33,0%) y 37 de bellas artes (21,0%). Los participantes respondieron a la Escala de Actitudes hacia Lesbianas y Hombres Gay (ATLG), la Escala del Racismo Moderno y la Escala de Actitudes hacia el Cristianismo de Francis. Se encontró altos niveles de homonegatividad entre estudiantes universitarios panameños, con hombres y estudiantes de ingeniería reportando actitudes negativas en un mayor porcentaje en comparación con otros grupos. Los resultados demostraron una correlación positiva entre la homonegatividad y la religiosidad intrínseca, mientras esta correlación no se encontró en cuanto al racismo moderno. Un área de estudio interesante relacionada con esta investigación es evaluar el impacto de la orientación sexual o de tener conocidos LGBTQAI+ sobre las actitudes hacia la homosexualidad entre los panameños. A futuro, estudios deberán explorar cambios longitudinales en las actitudes hacia las minorías sexuales en Panamá e informar futuras intervenciones para prevenir la discriminación y promover el bienestar de panameños LGBTQAI+.

Criteria for Determining the Addition or Change of Reasons for Disposition in Tax Litigation
Authors:   KOREAN SOCIETY OF TAX LAW, Hwang Il Woo
Published: May 2024

The Supreme Court has used the phrase ‘identity of basic facts’ as the criterion for determining the addition or change of reasons for disposition in general administrative litigation. In lawsuits for revocation of taxation disposition, the expression ‘identity of disposition’ has been mainly used. However, in the case of taxation disposition, the expression ‘identity of disposition’ is only used in a relatively broad sense to reflect the characteristics of taxation disposition and to recognize the scope of addition or change of reasons for disposition. Therefore, the ‘identity of basic facts’ is also a criterion for adding or changing reasons for disposition in a lawsuit for revocation of taxation disposition.
The Supreme Court has held that ‘identity of basic facts’ is determined by whether the social facts, as a pre-legal concept, are basically the same. However, these criteria alone do not provide a convincing explanation for the permissibility of adding or changing reasons for disposition. As in the case of an amendment to the bill of indictment, it is necessary to recognize the normative elements in the content of the ‘identity of basic facts’. If this is recognized, the tax unit can function as a normative element in the case of taxation disposition.
The Supreme Court held that in the case of withholding tax, the recipient of the amount of income is not an essential factor that distinguishes the unit of tax obligation, so it is possible to change it during the hearing of a lawsuit for revocation of collection disposition. However, changing the tax item as a result was not allowed. If normative factors are recognized, in special cases of withholding tax, even if the tax item changes, it is possible to add or change the reasons for disposition considering the legal structure and defense rights.

The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) involves a set of customers with known locations, each having a certain demand for goods or services. There is also a fleet of vehicles available, each with limited capacity and often a fixed starting point. With the aid of mathematical programming tools, this paper offers an overview of the most recent VRP research. This study also examines the algorithms for solving VRP models and categorizes them in terms of their application areas. For these reasons, related publications that appeared in the international journal have been compiled and studied. According to the literature review, multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques have yet to constitute the most mathematical programming methods used to solve the VRP problem.

Published: May 2024

This paper examines the structural changes of the companies listed in the technology sector in Bursa Malaysia during the COVID-19 pandemic. The closing price of each stock is used as the basis for calculating the cross-correlation between the companies' returns. Minimum spanning trees are employed to analyse the relationships and visualize the correlation changes for each period. Additionally, degree centrality is utilized to analyse the network's structure further. This study covers the period from 2020 to 2021 and involves 39 companies within the technology sector. The findings reveal significant fluctuations in the companies' correlations each year. Moreover, the most influential companies vary according to the period, demonstrating position changes. The fact that Inari Amertron (INAR), Revenue Group (REVE), and My EG Services (MYEG) consistently become leading players in different years shows how strong and influential they are in the technology sector. This suggests that these companies have the ability to shape market trends and possibly even control the direction of the industry. The results provide valuable insights for investors and policymakers, aiding in visualizing company relationships and facilitating strategic portfolio optimization.

The main focus in this study is to enhance and classify the image of a type of filamentous fungi named Penicillium and Aspergillus. For image enhancement, fuzzy-partition gamma adaptive histogram equalization (FpGAHE) is proposed to improve the quality of an image, in particular the low quality of a microscopic image. Two stages have been considered in this technique. In the first stage, a fuzzy partition is developed to handle the inconsistency of the grey level values of the images by introducing a fuzzy set. In the second stage, surrounding neighbourhood is employed to avoid the imbalance data and reduce the drastically changes of brightness values of the image. The performances are evaluated into two parts i.e., image processing and image classification by using the collected microscopic images of fungi species. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed technique, the existing techniques, HE, AHE, CLAHE, GC and AGC is compared to the FpGAHE. In image processing, the result attained shows that the proposed technique has a better performance by obtaining the highest value for the PSNR, SSIM and FSIM evaluation for the species of A. terreus in clean condition. Meanwhile, in image classification, five different nearest neighbour classifiers have been tested. The results show the proposed FpGAHE with Improved Fuzzy-Based k Nearest Centroid Neighbour (IFkNCN) classifier perform the best result compare to other nearest neighbour classifier by obtaining the value of 92.59 and 93.95 for the salt and pepper and Gaussian noise corrupted images respectively.

It involves any input that depends on the context of the study, such as biometric data, sensor data, signals, images, and so on. Prior research had been conducted on tudung saji, with a particular emphasis placed on ethnographic research that was related to group theory. In order to advance the study of the relationships between tudung saji and group theory, additional analysis is undertaken to examine the pattern of tudung saji within certain finite matrix rings. This analysis involves studying the zero-one matrix that is obtained through image processing. It is important to understand the process of pattern recognition to produce the output as a classification result from the feature extraction of the input. The study focuses on the stages of image preprocessing, which include scaling, grayscale conversion, and thresholding. The binarization image is classified through feature extraction using the image of tudung saji patterns. The binarization image produces a binary value. The threshold value is calculated by using the Otsu’s Method. This method evaluates the binary value by comparing the threshold value with the grayscale value. The result assists researchers in the subsequent classification of tudung saji patterns into group theory by means of analysing the finite zero-one matrix. Hence, the classification of tudung saji patterns can be achieved by utilising finite zero-one matrices, which allows for a more comprehensive analysis of these patterns from the standpoint of group theory. In light of these considerations, a mathematical analysis is conducted on the patterns of tudung saji under the field of pattern recognition. In this analysis, the image of the tudung saji pattern serves as the input for data processing, resulting in the production of a finite zero-one matrix.

The effective use of solar radiation can be maximized by the implementation of a novel hybrid device referred to as a photovoltaic thermal collector (PV/T), which has the capability to simultaneously generate both electrical and thermal energy. As temperature increases, the efficiency of the photovoltaic (PV) cell drops. The present work employs graphene nanofluids as a means to decrease the temperature of the system in order to evaluate the photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) performance. The PV/T system is subjected to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation, wherein graphene nanofluids of different volume concentrations (0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3%) and mass flow rates (0.065, 0.075, and 0.085 kg/s) are employed. The PV/T system demonstrated enhanced performance as a result of the implementation of the proposed approach, which effectively reduced the temperature of the solar cell during the period of maximum solar radiation, spanning from 9 AM to 4 PM. The utilization of the system was employed for the generation of thermal and electrical energy due to its respective thermal and electrical efficiency of 67% and 11.5%. The completed research has demonstrated that the integration of graphene nanofluids has the potential to enhance the efficiency of PV/T systems.
Solitude and Exile in Roberto Bolaño
Authors: Grigore Rodica
Published: May 2024

Profoundly original and deliberately shocking, innovative and puzzling at the same time, Roberto Bolaño (1953 – 2003) is now considered one of the most important Latin American writers of the 20th century. Born in Chile, he grew up in Mexico and then traveled across the South American continent, finally settling in Europe, in his steady attempt to establish his reputation of a poet and a novelist. His entire work represents a constant challenge to the literary critics, given the fact that he distinctively addressed some important universal issues (like human loneliness or the impossibility to establish an authentic connection and dialogue in the midst of an alienated society); but he is also famous for his particular way of meditating upon the often hidden meanings of exile in the contemporary world. His characters travel around the world as well as within themselves, in order to find their identity and to assert the truth of their own existence at the same time.

Book Review: Leigh Goodmark, Imperfect Victims: Criminalized Survivors and the Promise of Abolition Feminism. University of California Press. 2023.
Authors: Khoshnou Jasmine
Published: May 2024

Leigh Goodmark’s Imperfect Victims: Criminalized Survivors and the Promise of Abolition, seems to rupture any idealistic views of a protective and just criminal legal system. Instead, Goodmark introduces readers to the nitty gritty underside of laws, policies, and legal processes put into place to protect the most vulnerable. In this work, Goodmark apprises readers of the cycle of victimization that survivors of violence are subjected to within the criminal justice realm. Offering true narratives and statistics along with eye-opening insights, Goodmark illustrates the means by which women, trans, and non-confirming individuals are subjected to criminalization by the justice system in the form of state interventions intended to protect them. This work pushes readers to challenge their perceptions of victims and offenders while asking them to embrace the idea that the justice system is inherently flawed. Goodmark, however, does not leave readers hopeless and empty-handed as she offers abolition feminism as the remedy to the institutionalized challenges faced by criminalized survivors. Imperfect Victims aims to give voice to victims of gender-based violence and dismantle the system that continues to victimize them.

This study presents the results of an electrical resistivity survey conducted in Agudama Epie, Yenagoa local government area, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. The primary objective of the survey was to estimate the volume of clay and sand within a rectangular land parcel measuring 100 m by 200m in the study area. The survey employed the Schlumberger electrode configuration and utilized nine vertical electrode sounding (VES) points.Data was collected using a Terrameter SAS 1000 and was processed using IPI2win software. The geophysical analysis revealed the presence of four distinct geoelectric layers across the study area, identified as layers 1 to 4 in the VES profiles. Layer 2, characterized by clay, exhibited an average thickness of 21.2 meters, while layer 3, consisting of sand, had an average thickness of 8.15 meters. The apparent resistivity values ranged from 8.45 to 79.43 ohm-meter to a depth of 10.14 meters for the clay layer and 8499.86 to 15013.11 ohm-meter to a depth of 33.5 meters for the sand layer. The study estimated a substantial presence of approximately 746,240 tonnes of clay and approximately 261,126 tonnes of sand in Agudama Epie. This discovery offers significant economic potential, including job creation, the establishment of small and medium-sized enterprises, and opportunities within the construction industry. The local extraction and processing of clay can drive economic growth and facilitate the production of concrete and building materials. Additionally, the availability of sand in the region can reduce transportation costs and stimulate local construction projects, thereby fostering economic activity and infrastructure development.

Authors: Kumar Ajay , Ware Nilesh
Published: May 2024

Past decade has seen explosive growth of Deep Learning (DL) algorithms based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and its applications in vast emerging domains to solve real world complex problems. The DL architecture uses Activation Functions (AFs), to perform the task of finding relationship between the input feature and the output. Essential building blocks of any ANN are AFs which bring the required non-linearity of the output in the Output layer of network. Layers of ANNs are combinations of linear and nonlinear AFs. Most extensively used AFs are Sigmoid, Hyperbolic Tangent (Tanh), Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) etc to name a few. Choosing an AF for a particular AF depends on various factors such as Nature of Application, Design of ANN, Optimizers used in the network, Complexity of Data etc. This paper presents a survey on most widely used AFs along with the important consideration while selecting an AF on a specific problem domain. A broad guideline on selecting an AF based on the literature survey has been presented to help researchers in employing suitable AF in their problem domain.
