Encuesta a las empresas españolas sobre la evolución de su actividad: tercer trimestre de 2023
Authors: Fernández Cerezo Alejandro , Izquierdo Mario
Published: September 2023

Motivación

La Encuesta del Banco de España sobre la Actividad Empresarial (EBAE) permite extraer, en tiempo real, información muy valiosa acerca de la facturación, el empleo y los precios pagados y cobrados por una amplia muestra de empresas españolas, lo que proporciona una contribución muy relevante al diagnóstico de la situación coyuntural de la economía.

Ideas principales

• Las empresas han percibido un descenso de su facturación en el tercer trimestre de 2023, tras el ligero aumento del trimestre anterior. La facturación cayó en todos los sectores, salvo en los servicios turísticos y de información y comunicaciones.

• Se observan indicios de pausa en el proceso desinflacionista en el tercer trimestre, tanto en los costes de producción como en los precios de venta. Las expectativas a un año apuntan a un ligero repunte de las presiones inflacionistas, sobre todo en el precio de los consumos intermedios.

• La actividad empresarial se ha visto afectada por el repunte de los costes energéticos y por la creciente incidencia de los problemas de disponibilidad de mano de obra. Estos últimos están motivando, entre otras cosas, que muchas empresas se vean obligadas a reducir sus contrataciones y a conceder mayores alzas salariales.

Authors: Mosyab Mehdi Shah Syed , Asif Farwa , Fatima Hania
Published: September 2023

Abelmoschus esculentus L. (Moench), sometimes known as okra, is a very significant crop that is grown all over the world in tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate climates. (2022; Chauhan et al. Their leaves are long-petiolated, 10–20 cm long, and have five to seven lobes. Flowers are axillary and range in size from 4 to 8 cm in diameter. They produce elongated fruits with a diameter of 1.5 to 3 cm and a length of 10 to 25 cm. (Ali 2022). Okra growth and yield are significantly influenced by pinching technique. (Sahu and Biswal 2020). Early herbage cutting encourages uniform growth, flowering, and seed germination.  The "Effect of pinching on plant growth, yield, and quality of different varieties of okra" is the topic of this study. The practice of pinching, which involves the removal of terminal shoot tips, has been explored as a cultural technique to enhance plant growth, yield, and produce quality in different varieties of okra. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the effects of pinching on plant growth parameters, yield components, and the nutritional and sensory quality of various okra varieties. The review encompasses an in-depth analysis of the underlying physiological and morphological changes induced by pinching across different okra varieties. A synthesis of recent studies highlights the potential benefits and limitations of pinching in okra cultivation, considering the variability in results across different varieties and growing conditions. This review article systematically examines the effects of pinching on diverse varieties of okra with a focus on their growth patterns, yield attributes, and final harvest quality.

Published: September 2023

An emergency is a condition requiring immediate treatment where the patient with this is either conscious or unconscious. A medical emergency is an injury or illness that is acute and poses an immediate risk to a person’s life or long-term health. Ancient Acharyas used various terms like Sadhya, Ashu, and Twarita in emergency conditions where quick management is needed. It is the right place to mention the reference to Sushruta Samhita in which Acharya has prescribed to use of specific methods in emergency conditions. It is believed that emergency treatment in Ayurveda is not present and in emergency one needs to take only allopathic medicines, and Ayurveda has a limited role to play in chronic ailments only. Ayurveda to become the main line of medicine needs to have emergency management. Emergency management was described in Ayurveda, which needs only enlightenment. Aim and Objectives: To study the Ayurvedic basis of emergency management. To study the text for necessary reference that describes emergency management. Material and Methods: Relevant Ayurvedic and modern literature is the material of the paper. Old Ayurvedic treatises. Discussion: Ayurveda can also be useful in emergency conditions and life-threatening conditions. Conclusion: Here it may be concluded that Ayurvedic medicines are useful in the management of emergency conditions.

FUNGAL AND FLORAL DIVERSITY AND THREAT TO ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION IN ZARYAN FOREST, PARACHINAR
Authors: FIRDOUS Q , HUSSAIN SI , KHALID AN
Published: September 2023

Parachinar exhibits a combination of flat and hilly terrains characterized by limited vegetation, biodiversity, and resource availability. The Zaryan forest is a mountain forest that begins at the base of a mountain and extends up to but does not encompass its peak. These mountains encompassed a vast plain. In this woodland, Quercus baloot is the most prevalent plant species. The sedimentary sediments present at the beginning of this forest provide clues as to how this climax community evolved. Unbelievably, it was discovered that these species are more abundant at the base of the slope and disappear as we ascend. As the region's economy is poor, locals visit the forest more frequently to obtain wood, herbs, other bushes, and fodder to satisfy their basic needs. They have a meager income and subsist hand to mouth. Occasionally, they cut down mountains and sell them to meet their basic requirements. The region's disputed geographical and political position prohibits tourism, despite the region's incredible grandeur and breathtaking views. However, the hazard is alarming because this forest ecosystem requires protection. Pakistan Environmental Journalists and other wildlife organizations should take decisive actions and precautions to halt the deterioration and biodiversity loss.

Authors:   Higher Colleges of Technology, United Arab Emirates, Atassi Reem
Published: September 2023

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has ushered in an era of unprecedented connectivity and innovation. However, this interconnected landscape also presents unique security challenges, necessitating robust intrusion detection mechanisms. In this research, we present a comprehensive study of anomaly detection in IoT networks, leveraging advanced machine learning techniques. Specifically, we employ the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) architecture as the backbone network to capture temporal dependencies within IoT traffic. Furthermore, our approach embraces hierarchical federated training to ensure scalability and privacy preservation across distributed IoT devices. Our experimental design encompasses public IoT datasets, facilitating rigorous evaluation of the model's performance and adaptability. Results indicate that our GRU-based model excels in identifying a spectrum of attacks, from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) incursions to SQL injection attempts. Visualizations of learning curves, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves, and confusion matrices offer insights into the model's learning process, discriminatory power, and classification performance. Our findings contribute to the evolving landscape of IoT security, offering a roadmap for enhancing the resilience of interconnected systems in an era of increasing connectivity.

In this paper, we present the Pythagorean neutrosophic interval valued fuzzy soft set. This is a generalization of the Pythagorean interval valued fuzzy soft set as well as the neutrosophic interval valued fuzzy soft set. It is discussed in this paper how an aggregated operation is used to aggregate the decision matrix of PNIVS. There are a number of extensions to the normosophic fuzzy soft sets that involve the use of multi-criteria decisionmaking. The aim of this study is to develop a score function based on aggregating TOPSIS methods in order to find ideal solutions for PNIVS that have both positive and negative values. The purpose of this study is to identify the optimal alternative under closeness conditions. It gives us the opportunity to interact with two real life problems, such as the production of ten different types of motorbikes by an automobile company. According to this set of parameters, a motorbike is determined by the fuel tank capacity, better styling, a better price, more mileage, durable, and other factors that determine how a customer can choose which bike to buy.
Comparing Orthopaedic Randomized Control Trials Published in High-Impact Medical and Orthopaedic Journals
Authors: Puzzitiello Richard N. , Lachance Andrew D. , Michalowski Anna , Menendez Mariano E. , Salzler Matthew J.
Published: September 2023

Introduction:

Orthopaedic studies published in high-impact medical journals are often believed to have a high prevalence of negative or neutral results and possess methodological characteristics that may bias toward nonsurgical treatments. The purpose of this study was to compare study characteristics, methodologic quality, exposure, and outcome direction among orthopaedic randomized control trials (RCTs) published in high-impact medical and orthopaedic journals and to identify study attributes associated with greater impact.

Methods:

RCTs published between January 2010 and December 2020 in the five medical journals and 10 orthopaedic journals with the highest 5-year impact factors were analyzed. Inclusion criteria were RCTs reporting on orthopaedic surgical intervention compared with nonsurgical or less-invasive surgical procedures. Study characteristics, methodologic quality (Jadad scale), outcomes, and altmetric data were collected. Primary outcomes were categorized as positive (favoring surgical/more-extensive surgery), negative (favoring nonsurgical/less-extensive surgery), or neutral.

Results:

One hundred twenty-eight RCTs were analyzed; 26 from medical and 102 from orthopaedic journals. Studies published in medical journals included more authors (P < 0.001), larger sample sizes (P < 0.001), more institutions (P < 0.001), and more often received funding (P < 0.001). The average Jadad scale did not significantly differ between journals (P = 0.14). The direction of the primary study outcome did not differ between journals (P = 0.22). Average AAS and annual citation rates were higher in RCTs published in medical journals (P < 0.001). Publication in a medical journal was the only covariate associated with higher annual citation rates (P < 0.001) and AAS (P < 0.001) on multivariable analyses.

Discussion:

High-impact medical journals do not publish orthopaedic RCTs with negative or neutral findings at a rate that significantly differs from orthopaedic journals. However, the higher impact and digital coverage of the studies published in medical journals may disproportionally influence the practices of nonorthopaedic providers. Raising awareness of critical findings published in orthopaedic journals may be particularly important for improving healthcare policies and orthopaedic referral patterns for musculoskeletal problems.
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Appropriate Use Criteria for Humeral Component Design During Primary Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Authors: Yian Edward H. , Dann Adam , Bohsali Kamal
Published: September 2023

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) has developed appropriate use criteria (AUC) for humeral component design during primary anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. Evidence-based information, in conjunction with the clinical expertise of physicians, was used to develop the criteria to determine the appropriateness of various humeral component designs during primary anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. The AUC for humeral component design during primary anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty were derived by identifying clinical indications evident during the clinical decision-making process. These scenarios relied on definitions and general assumptions, mutually agreed on by the writing panel during the development of the scenarios. These definitions and assumptions were necessary to provide consistency in the interpretation of the clinical scenarios among experts rating the scenarios and readers using the final criteria. Writing panel members of this AUC developed patient scenarios using these guiding principles: comprehensive (covers a wide range of patients); mutually exclusive (there should be no overlap between patient scenarios/indications); homogeneous (the final ratings should result in equal application within each of the patient scenarios); and manageable (number of total rating items [ie, number of patient scenarios × number of treatments] should be practical for the rating panel). The target number of total rating items is 1,500. This means that not all patient indications and treatments can be assessed within the AUC. The 144 patient scenarios and three treatments were developed by the writing panel, a group of clinicians who are specialists in this AUC topic. Next, a separate, multidisciplinary, rating panel (made up of specialists and nonspecialists) rated the appropriateness of treatment of each patient scenario using a 9-point scale to designate a treatment as ‘appropriate’ (median rating, 7 to 9), ‘may be appropriate’ (median rating, 4 to 6), or ‘rarely appropriate’ (median rating, 1 to 3).

A Comparative Study of EU and US Regulatory Approaches to Cybersecurity in Space
Authors: Jacobs Bas
Published: September 2023

This article addresses a need for enhanced transatlantic cooperation and coordination between the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) to prevent, detect, and respond to malicious cyber activities and the need for legislation to ensure that critical infrastructure is secure and resilient. It examines the cybersecurity of space critical infrastructure based on three pillars: cyber resilience, stable cyberspace, and cyber capacity building, and argues that to build up these pillars, the EU and US must have a shared assessment of space security challenges, a sound evaluation of the current strengths and gaps in both regulatory models, and an understanding of the driving factors to legislative change in the two systems. Although both frameworks converge on the importance of risk assessment as being at the heart of effective cybersecurity, this article underscores that neither model is equipped to cover the entire production value chain of space assets. In light of these findings, this article provides several recommendations for how the frameworks can become more resilient, including, inter alia, using public-private partnerships to develop tailored regulations compatible with existing cyber regimes and ensuring that such regulations are specifically designed to improve the cybersecurity of space infrastructure.

Fair Enough?: Procedural Fairness When the ICAO Council Exercises Its Judicial Function
Authors: H. Ormsbee Matthew
Published: September 2023

Since the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ’s) Qatar decision in 2020, practitioners have given significant attention to the attributes of the Council’s dispute resolution function. Detractors note that this duty of the Council is tantamount to a judicial function, so the Council must strictly observe safeguards for independence and impartiality on par with traditional judicial bodies. Others counter that the Council is a political body that sometimes operates in a quasijudicial capacity; thus, it is not transformed into a court of law with its attendant strictures. This article advances the post-Qatar discussion by digesting the ongoing dialogue among academics and practitioners over the Council’s judicial function. It fashions arguments for and against the Council’s independence and impartiality in the spirit of an adversarial dialogue before a judicial body, which is apropos for a discussion on dispute resolution. Arguments are thus put forward, leveraging political, policy, and legal concerns for decision-makers in the field. The article concludes that the Council’s dispute resolution framework raises concerns about fairness, with a possible ripple effect for other international bodies with a dispute-resolution function.

The Decriminalization of Cartel Activity in Kuwait: A Regulatory Framework
Authors: S. Al-Rashidi Khaled
Published: September 2023

The Kuwaiti policymaker has never overlooked the protection of market competition. Anticompetitive practices have always been a concern in Kuwait; from the Kuwaiti Constitution 1962, which allows a legal monopoly for a certain time, and the Commercial Law Act 68/1980, to the Competition Protection Acts (CPA) of 2007 and 2020. However, the legislative responses to anticompetitive behaviours in Kuwait have varied, with criminal prohibition being historically dominant. Recently, with the introduction of the CPA 2020, Kuwait has decriminalized cartel activity. Although it may have been expected that the criminal nature of cartel activity should have been maintained, the major shift in Kuwait was contrary to the global trend towards criminalization. Cartel activity is now being dealt with within a regulatory framework, with only administrative sanctions. This paper suggests that the decriminalization in Kuwait weakens the argument that the global trend towards criminalizing cartel activity has always been driven by a top-down process. This paper has three aims: the first is to explore this inadvertently ‘neglected’ research area in Kuwait; the second is to discuss why cartel activity has been decriminalized, with a focus on the problem of ‘moral ambiguity’ as an explanation; and the third is to argue for the re-criminalization of cartel activity.

White collar crimes: A comprehensive analysis
Authors: Parihar Sachin Singh , Ghosh Anwesha
Published: September 2023

White-collar crimes and economic offenses have increased alarmingly as a result of the modernization of crime, a disturbing trend that threatens to destroy the economy globally. White-collar crimes are admittedly very common in third-world nations and are thus by no means a new occurrence. The convergence of business and the law, as well as their interactions with innovation, moral discourse, and public perception, as well as the evolution of state regulations over time, are what give white-collar crimes their historical foundation. Since white-collar criminals were not viewed as the “typical criminals” who committed robbery, or murder, it will not be an exaggeration to argue that it took a long time for the law to recognize this form of the malicious act under the canopy of crime. Instead, there was a perception that white-collar offenses were victimless and less detrimental to society than crimes like robbery. White-collar offenders still face substantially lighter punishments than ordinary criminals in various nations. White-collar crimes create significantly more harm to society than traditional crimes because they pose a much bigger threat to economic stability by undermining public confidence. The current study’s fundamental methodology will be doctrinal, i.e., it will analyse deviances and the problems associated with white-collar crimes in considerable detail. The technique takes a strictly theoretical approach; therefore, it describes several professions where such crimes occur and provide a thorough conceptual understanding of the underlying idea. The present study will make attempt to comprehend the reasoning behind deviations and the conditions that give rise to such crimes. The study will also seek to analyse the current situation considering the context. Additionally, the study will present some untouched perspectives on white-collar crimes.

Eradication of poverty is one of the world’s most important challenges because poverty has gripped a large part of the world. Poverty exists all over the world with its different intensity. This article will discuss the eradication of poverty in the Islamic context. Islam is a Universal and impartial religion. Which covers every sphere of a human’s life? From this perspective, Islam gives us the whole structure of social life. After migrating to Madinah, the Prophet ﷺestablished the Islamic state and also founded the Islamic Bait-ul-Mal. Prophet ﷺtaught Muslims to help the underprivileged and dependent people through brotherhood and hence established an exemplary socio-economic system. The main purpose of Bait-ul-Mal is to spend for the welfare of the people of the Islamic government. Therefore, it is considered the bank and national treasure of the Muslim people. In this way, this institution is considered the guarantor of the property, the protector of the trust, and the official treasury of the central institutions of the Muslims. Therefore, this institution plays an important role in anti-poverty in the light of Islamic teachings

Authors: Humza Aadersh , Ur Rahman Muneeb
Published: September 2023

Gwadar is the newest hub of trade for Pakistan, indeed, in the region, lying at the heart of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), but facing serious water scarcity. A comprehensive study on the water scarcity of Gwadar has been carried out. Qualitative research work has been carried out using both the primary and the secondary sources of data by adopting descriptive and analytical approaches. Comprehensive fieldwork was carried out in Gwadar that involved visits to sites and interviews with a variety of stakeholders to collect the relevant data. Sustainable water resources along with better water management, are key to resolving the water scarcity issue. Gwadar, despite being a seaport and having other rain-dependent water resources, has faced water scarcity primarily because of mismanagement by the concerned authorities. The study concludes that the other port cities around the world have excelled with better management in spite of lesser resources of water available as compared to Gwadar. Therefore, Gwadar needs to optimally manage its water resources by utilizing modern means to meet its growing demands for water. It should come at par with the rest of the developed port cities around the world.

Authors: Aldahlawi Salwa , Nourah Dalia , Sembawa Shahinaz
Published: September 2023

Background: To examine the prevalence and severity of persistent oral symptoms in recovered COVID-19 patients and to detect a relationship between oral hygiene, periodontal status, disease severity, and persistent oral symptoms in COVID-19 patients. Methods: A self-administered electronic instrument was distributed online through social media outlets targeting COVID-19 patients in Saudi Arabia from September 1, 2021, to December 30, 2021—adults who had a COVID-19 infection at least two months before the study were included. Results: 301 surveys were analysed. 54% of the participants had recovered from COVID-19 infection for more than six months, and 56.2% had moderate disease severity.13% of the participants reported experiencing at least one oral symptom during the COVID-19 infection, and 38% said that the oral symptoms persisted after the recovery from the infection. The most common symptoms included: dry mouth (45 %), taste and smell alteration or loss (42%), dental pain (29%), mouth ulcers (16%) and gingival bleeding (16%). 61% required pain medication or requested a prescription from the dentist. The presence of oral symptoms was significantly associated with severe COVID cases (OR=6.56) (P<0.001). Persistent oral symptoms were significantly related to the history of gingival inflammation (P=0.001) and gum pain (P=0.006) after adjusting for age, gender, smoking, BMI, and chronic disease. Conclusions: Oral symptoms are common findings with the COVID-19 infection, with many patients having persistent symptoms after recovery. Dentists should be aware of the need for proper assessment and evaluation of patients post-COVID-19.
The revision of the origins science of fiqh model: Ibn Rushd’s book"aldarory
Authors: Alkaltham Mohammed
Published: September 2023

This research project wants to discuss two subjects. The first will be an initiation about the topics that Ibn Rushd could purify from the science of jurisprudence. In the second, we will study the suitability of revising the science of jurisprudence based on the issues referred by Ibn Rushd. This research was conducted using the method of induction and analysis, and it was prefaced with a statement of what is meant by revising the principles of jurisprudence and the efforts of the fundamentalists in it, with a translation for Ibn Rushd. The research has been divided into two sections. In the first, we explained Ibn Rushd's approach to the revision of the principles of jurisprudence. In the second topic, we make an extrapolation of the places in which Ibn Rushd revised the principles and studied them by editing Ibn Rushd's opinion first and then inducing the opinions of the fundamentalists with the report including reasoning for each opinion. The positions that were induced were organized into five topics according to their types, namely: verbal issues, logical issues, linguistic issues, jurisprudential branches, and issues that do not bear benefit. Then, I make a conclusion in which the results and recommendations were presented.

Suspicions of Orientalists about the Quran in the Islamic Encyclopedia - Presentation and Criticism
Authors: Nashar Kholoud
Published: September 2023

The research deals with studying the suspicions of orientalists about the Quran in the Islamic Orientalist Encyclopedia under the title: "Suspicions of Orientalists about the Quran in the Islamic Encyclopedia - Presentation and Criticism" a scientific, methodological and critical study showing how superficial the falsehoods and slanders raised by the enemies of Islam about the Quran in that encyclopedia, which sometimes reached the point of contradiction. By doing so they think they will destroy the Quran and prevent spreading it, but they have been disappointed. The light of Allah is shining in the horizons. I have used the critical, analytical, and inductive approach in that study. It included two topics: The First: To clarify the concept of orientalism, its emergence, its objectives, and introduction to the encyclopedia. The second topics dealt with suspicions and appeals about the Quran. The most important findings: All the suspicions that orientalists dealt with in the encyclopedia are weak attempts to distort the Quran, far from validity and scientific methodology. The research recommended studying all the appeals lurking in the encyclopedia, criticizing them scientifically, and translating them into several different languages.
The Attachment of the Obligatory of Zakat and Its Impacts
Authors: Aal Sa’eed Abdur Rahman
Published: September 2023

This research work focused on studying an important issue on Zakat which was a subject of dispute among the jurists –may Allah have mercy on them- and on which they had different opinions, this issue is the attachment of the obligatory of Zakat. Is it attached to the wealth or the onus of the Zakat payer, and what follows the difference of opinions on this issue? Regarding those who mean it attached to the wealth, what is the nature of this attachment? Is it an attachment of right or a shared one, or is it an attachment of confirmation? And if it is an attachment of confirmation what is the nature of this attachment? is it like the attachment of debt to the collateral, or like the attachment of difference in value of crime (arsh) to the onus of the crime perpetrator; and what are the issues that follow the difference of opinion on this?

Authors: Sakka Morhaf
Published: September 2023

This research to include a statement of the link between the science of the origins of interpretation and the science of the origins of jurisprudence through three sections that were the subject of extracting the sources of the relationship between them. On one hand based on terms of a scientific title of the origins of jurisprudence and origins of interpretation. Then through the point of view of the concept and scientific purposes of origins of jurisprudence and origins of interpretation. The last one through the point of view of the scientific construction of the origins of jurisprudence and origins of interpretation. In the introduction we started with the origins of jurisprudence before the origins of interpretation do to the precedence of the science of jurisprudence in blogging over the origins of interpretation. The aim of the research was to answer a basic question: What is the relationship between origins of jurisprudence 'Usul al-Fiqh' and origins of interpretation 'Usul al-Tafsir'? The answer was according to the aforementioned investigations. By knowing this relationship, the science of the origins of interpretation may be liberated in its subjects and topics. The method used in the research was the inductive-analytical method, including the descriptive method. One of the most prominent results of this research was that the emergence of the science of origins of interpretation was consistent with the emergence of origins of jurisprudence. Another important result is that the relationship between the science of the origins of jurisprudence and the science of the origins of interpretation is not a part relationship with each of all sides. But, on the fact, that the Qur’an is the first guide studied by the origins of jurisprudence. As for the investigations, objectives, and topics, the science of origins of interpretation is broader and more general than the science of origins of jurisprudence.
