The study brings to the fore a reality expressed by the well-known phrase ”From Farm to Fork”, describing as a new concept the synergy of scientific, managerial abd operational integration at production and processing level between agriculture (with all its fields) and gastronomy (with all its nuances its). The notion of agri-gastronomy is analyzed, to which, beyond definition, the multi-integrated (integronic) polyvalence of the two fields of activity is complemented. The work highlights the paradigmatic overlap of the two branches:”agriculture”, i.e. the production of products of vegetable and animal origin, as raw materials necessary for ”gastronomy” in high-quality culinary production. The objective is the awareness necessary to optimize the production, processing and consumption of food products from agriculture, with an emphasis on quality, taste and traditional know-how. The pragmatic solutions generated by this concept aim at qualitative emergence, as well as encouraging collaboration between producers, processors and restaurateurs, in order to offer consumers authentic and tasty culinary experiences, while contributing to the economic and social development of the local community and the territorial area in question.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: education plays a pivotal role in shaping the knowledge, skills, and competencies of individuals across various fields of study.Objective: to contrast educational strategies used in health sciences with those employed in disciplines unrelated to health.Methods: the present study is primarily based on primary literature, mostly academic articles, indexed in the Scopus database. The aim of using this method is to quantify the documents referring to bibliometric analysis as a working tool in two categories for subsequent analysis: non-health-related categories (NH) and health-related categories (H). The groups were examined separately with a productivity and citation analysis to assess their impact.Results: during this period, there is a gradual increase in the number of documents in both groups. In the NH group, the number of documents increased from 907 in 2013 to 2422 in 2022. Meanwhile, in the H group, the number of documents increased from 192 in 2013 to 490 in 2022. Overall, there is an increase in the number of documents in both groups over time, with the NH group exhibiting a higher number of documents compared to the H group in each year. it is observed that both groups have a low level of international collaboration, although the NH group shows a slightly higher proportion. On the other hand, the H group exhibits a higher proportion of national collaboration and a lower lack of collaboration compared to the NH group. Both groups demonstrate a high level of institutional collaboration. A greater heterogeneity is observed in areas other than health.Conclusions: this study has provided an integrated view of research in health-related and non-health-related categories. The results emphasize the importance of promoting international collaboration and strengthening collaboration networks in both groups. Furthermore, key thematic areas in the field of nursing education, healthcare and clinical practice, human behavior and psychology, and teaching and learning have been identified. These findings can be useful for researchers, educators, and healthcare professionals interested in addressing these topics in the context of training and clinical practice, as well as for those seeking to understand current trends and interrelationships in the field of education

Principios cristianos para la práctica del asesoramiento psicológico y la psicoterapia
Authors: Fayard Carlos , Biaggi Margarita
Published: June 2023

Todo abordaje psicoterapéutico descansa sobre presunciones filosóficas acerca de la naturaleza del ser humano. Las teorías contemporáneas derivan primariamente de la filosofía budista, la filosofía humanista y las perspectivas evolucionistas, en las que no existe Dios ni hay espacio para la fe.Este libro explora las riquezas que se encuentran en las Sagradas Escrituras e identifica dimensiones de la naturaleza humana que, al ser entendidas desde una cosmovisión cristiana, iluminan la tarea del psicoterapeuta. Estas dimensiones se convierten en la estructura que organiza los resultados científicos de la psicología y la neurociencia, al mismo tiempo que permanece atenta a la espiritualidad del paciente. Un abordaje neuropsicoespiritual toma a la persona en su totalidad, considerando los estratos psicológicos, neurobiológicos y espirituales de la experiencia humana que son relevantes para la práctica clínica.En este libro, el terapeuta aprenderá a descubrir las dimensiones humanas descriptas en la Biblia y podrá aplicarlas en su trabajo a través del caso de Joe, un sacerdote que padece de una adicción sexual. Joe se convertirá en el guía que ilustrará cómo los principios cristianos pueden servir como un mapa que conducirá a vivir una vida plena.

Determining Optimal Traffic Opening Time Through Concrete Strength Monitoring: Wireless Sensing
Authors: Kong Zhihao , Lu Na
Published: June 2023

Construction and concrete production are time-sensitive and fast-paced; as such, it is crucial to monitor the in-place strength development of concrete structures in real-time. Existing concrete strength testing methods, such as the traditional hydraulic compression method specified by ASTM C 39 and the maturity method specified by ASTM C 1074, are labor-intensive, time consuming, and difficult to implement in the field. INDOT’s previous research (SPR-4210) on the electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique has established its feasibility for monitoring in-situ concrete strength to determine the optimal traffic opening time. However, limitations of the data acquisition and communication systems have significantly hindered the technology’s adoption for practical applications. Furthermore, the packaging of piezoelectric sensor needs to be improved to enable robust performance and better signal quality. In this project, a wireless concrete sensor with a data transmission system was developed. It was comprised of an innovated EMI sensor and miniaturized datalogger with both wireless transmission and USB module. A cloud-based platform for data storage and computation was established, which provides the real time data visualization access to general users and data access to machine learning and data mining developers. Furthermore, field implementations were performed to prove the functionality of the innovated EMI sensor and wireless sensing system for real-time and in-place concrete strength monitoring. This project will benefit the DOTs in areas like construction, operation, and maintenance scheduling and asset management by delivering applicable concrete strength monitoring solutions.

Authors: Vieira Marcos Alves , Velasco Gislainy Crisostomo , Carvalho Sergio T.
Published: June 2023

The world’s aging population increasingly faces challenges in accessing healthcare due to a shortage of healthcare professionals. Telemedicine and remote patient monitoring solutions offer a promising avenue for improving access to care, allowing for the monitoring of physiological data, activities performed, and the conditions of the patient’s environment. However, such systems must address numerous challenges, such as interoperability, security, integrity, and confidentiality of medical data. In this paper, we propose a repository architecture for medical data obtained through remote patient monitoring. Our solution relies on the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard to address interoperability issues, while the inherent characteristics of blockchain technology provide security, integrity, and confidentiality of stored data. In addition to remote patient monitoring, the proposed repository has the potential to be used for scientific research, data mining and analysis applications among other health applications. Ongoing implementation and testing of the repository in a real-world setting will demonstrate its performance and scalability. Meanwhile, we present the architecture and constituent elements, including data flow and smart contracts, with their responsibilities described. Overall, our proposed solution offers a promising approach to addressing the challenges of remote patient monitoring and storing medical data securely and efficiently.

A identificação dos cidadãos é essencial para liberar o acesso a serviços básicos como saúde e educação. Entretanto, sistemas tradicionais de gestão de identidade adotam abordagens pouco escaláveis ou prejudiciais à segurança e à privacidade do usuário. Este artigo apresenta a proposta de um sistema de gestão de identidade baseado na interoperabilidade de correntes de blocos. No sistema, cada domínio mantém uma corrente de blocos para gerir a identidade de seus usuários. Além disso, o trabalho analisa a técnica de troca de informações entre correntes de blocos para implantar o conceito de “traga a sua própria identidade”. Dessa forma, o sistema mitiga problemas de escalabilidade e garante aos usuários o controle sobre os seus dados.

Serviços Virtualizados de Rede Confiáveis: Uma Arquitetura para SFCs Tolerantes a Falhas e Intrusão
Authors: Venâncio Giovanni , Fulber-Garcia Vinicius , Alchieri Eduardo A. P. , Duarte Jr. Elias P.
Published: June 2023

Serviços virtualizados de rede podem ser construídos através da combinação de múltiplas VNFs (Virtualized Network Functions) conectadas em uma ordem predefinida, denominada de SFC (Service Function Chain). A IETF define uma arquitetura padronizada para SFCs, baseada em elementos de classificação e de encaminhamento. Considerando que diversos serviços de rede implementam funcionalidades críticas para o funcionamento correto da rede, falhas em qualquer componente da SFC podem comprometer toda a infraestrutura, levando a prejuízos monetários ou até mesmo ao uso não autorizado do sistema. Neste contexto, este trabalho propõe a FIT-SFC (Fault- & Intrusion Tolerant SFC): uma arquitetura para suportar serviços virtuais seguros e altamente disponíveis. Enquanto grande parte dos trabalhos anteriores consideram somente falhas por parada, a FIT-SFC utiliza estratégias de replicação para tolerar falhas bizantinas de qualquer componente da arquitetura SFC, sendo ainda totalmente compatível com a arquitetura de referência da IETF. Um protótipo da arquitetura foi implementado como prova de conceito e resultados experimentais avaliam os custos para tolerar as falhas.

Authors: Maculan Benildes Coura Moreira dos Santos , Mesquita Maristela Sanches Lima , Falcão Luander Cipriano de Jesus
Published: June 2023

This paper describes the creation of a terminological glossary for the subject domain of knowledge organization systems (KOS). The glossary addresses the need for unambiguous conceptual information about the subject matter for students majoring in information science. It aims to create a glossary of definitions for concepts of different types of KOS. The theoretical and methodological foundations are based on corpus linguistics for the construction of the glossary. The methodology is characterized as an exploratory, descriptive, and applied study, using the ISKO Encyclopedia of Knowledge Organization (IEKO) as a source for data collection and terminology. The cut-off was based on the KOSs listed in NISO Z39.19 (2005; R2010) and ISO 25964 (2011; 2013). It is hoped that the terminological glossary created will improve students’ understanding of the different KOSs, by compiling definitions and giving them greater semantics.
Klassisch islamische Rechtsmethodik: Prinzipien, Rezeptionen und Divergenzen
Authors: Elliesie Hatem
Published: June 2023

The terms sharia (šarīʿa) and ‘Islamic law’ are synonymously used both in a general, colloquial sense and in academic literature. The terms do, however, not always coincide. The term sharia refers to the divine origin of rules and norms, whether they were set by God in his revelation or derived by humans from God’s revelation. Sharia, thus, encompasses the sum of divine judgments of human actions and is therefore normatively broader than the essentially positivist continental European understanding of law. As a doctrine of duties and law, it entails all religious and legal norms, mechanisms for norm-finding and interpretations. Thus, it is also referred to as a religiously based ‘order of law and values’ in the sense of an Islamic normativity that includes one’s relations with the divine authority, fellow human beings, and all creatures created by Allāh. As in the Jewish context, the interpretation of the normative set of rules is not aimed at the institutionalization of an authority, but focuses primarily on the nuṣūṣ. The texts of divine origin constitute the absolute authority. This absolute authority is transferred into the space of this world and thus into the human art of thinking. This then opens up a wide range of legal-methodological alternatives for interpretation. This multiplicity gives rise to a normative pluralism, which is – by the grace of God in the Islamic self-perception – inherent in discourses. The methods and distinctions are outlined in this article with references to legal-historical adoptions.
Eine Islamische Rechtsphilosophie? Herausforderungen, Problemfelder und Lösungsvorschläge
Authors: Kurnaz Serdar
Published: June 2023

This article presents the internal structure of Islamic law and legal theory. Following the discourses of scholars since the 20th century, concepts of Islamic legal theory are increasingly coming into focus in order to find new ways and methods in the field of Islamic normative teaching that are able to accept the changing circumstances of modernity. These include, in particular, iǧtihād, the goals of the Sharia (maqāṣid aššarīʿa), or Islamic minority law (fiqh al-aqallīyāt). Modern Islamic legal theoretical approaches have in common the lack of systematic and legal-philosophical reflections. These can be found in part even in the pre-modern literature. There, topics of legal philosophy were discussed according to the internal structure of the so-called uṣūl al-fiqh (Islamic legal methodology and theory). The focus was on the doctrine of sources and the interpretation of religious legal sources. Only a few scholars deviated from this methodological approach. These include, for example, Abū Zayd ad-Dabūsī (d. 430/ 1039) from Samarkand. He located and systematized religious law within a rationalist epistemology and legal theory. Further, Ibn Rušd (d. 595/1198) looked for legal philosophical foundations in Aristotle’s philosophy. How can these theories be located in the realm of philosophy of law? How can Muslim legal theories make an innovative contribution with regard to ethics and, moreover, to general questions of legal philosophy? How can concepts of legal philosophy contribute to Islamic law? The article will deal with these and related questions.
Indigenous People and the Protection of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) in Zimbabwe
Authors: Nhambura Constance
Published: June 2023

Indigenous people in Zimbabwe possess a wealth of indigenous resources, which has always sustained them and their preceding generations. Indigenous resources are disappearing at an alarming rate due to exploitation by non-indigenous people. The exploiters of indigenous resources are benefiting from the indigenous resources at the expense of the indigenous communities who own the resources simply because they do not have IPRs. The sustainability of indigenous resources is being compromised by a lack of intellectual property rights (IPR) which accords the indigenous people’s right to own and protect their resources. This paper assessed the rights of indigenous people and the initiatives put in place to protect the intellectual property rights of indigenous peoples in Zimbabwe. Qualitative descriptive research was used to establish the perceptions, feelings and behaviours of respondents in their natural setting. Interviews and document reviews were used to collect data from indigenous people and IP practitioners. The results indicated that the protection of indigenous people’s intellectual rights is quite imperative, hence the urgent need for implementation of the IP policy in Zimbabwe. The study recommends more legal instruments that support the protection and preservation of indigenous knowledge in Zimbabwe.

Landslides in layered soil in slopes is a common phenomenon that leads to major damages to infrastructures. Piles are deep foundations which are useful structural elements to support heavy loads in difficult slopes, and to retain creeping or sliding slopes. Controlling the stability of structures made on slopes is still one of the major problems in engineering. Piles are being used successfully to support structures on slopes and have become an efficient solution for such situations which demands construction on sloping grounds, since piles can often be easily installed without disturbing the equilibrium of the layers of soil in the slope. In this paper, an optimized design approach have been adopted for design of single piles for supporting infrastructure on layered soil slopes. A standalone software has been developed as a result of this study which produces the optimum pile dimension, reinforcement details and an estimate of the design as software output. The code is written in MATLAB that incorporates Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization technique to obtain optimum pile dimensions and the pile is designed satisfying all the structural requirements as recommended by IS:2911: Indian Standards Code for cast-in-situ Reinforced Concrete pile.

Published: June 2023

Humans have built stable systems for their social lives, although they are animals in motion. Whether people want to settle or move might depend on their characteristics, such as personality and social psychology. This chapter outlines the historical transition of mobility in Japan and Europe, including mobility away from daily life in the middle ages and mobility for pleasure in the early modern period. Then, we introduce a web-based questionnaire survey that examined human characteristics influencing life space mobility, and the relationship between mobility characteristics and their well-being. Several factors influencing either the life space mobility or the subscale of well-being were obtained from the large-scale web-based survey. Ego-resiliency is the ability to cope with and adapt to situations, and it can be said that humans were migrating from place to place because they possessed this ability. The results of this survey showed that ego-resiliency affects both mobility and well-being, and the essentiality of this ability was reaffirmed. “Diversion,” in which people try to get away from their daily routines, was a key factor influencing both mobility and well-being. Finally, we describe the importance of diversion based on the outline of mobility and diversion in the modern period.

A lot of research initiatives have gone into the breeding of cassava which has led to the development and release of over 30 cassava varieties in Ghana, of which adoption rate is 40%. This low adoption is due to inadequate promotion of improved varieties and the fact that some of the varieties do not meet end-user needs. With cassava becoming an important cash crop, it is important that breeding programmes refocus to define the market segments and objectives to facilitate the improvement of target traits such as poundability, dry matter content, starch and carotenoids that will lead to the development of varieties tailored towards end-user needs. This will in the long run promote food and nutritional security especially in low- and middle-income countries where the crop is a major staple. In addition, there should be more investment in high-throughput phenotyping to enhance the assessment and evaluation for the development of varieties with end-user traits. Subsequently, the cassava seed system should be formalized to enhance the production and dissemination of high-quality improved cassava varieties with end-user traits.

Published: June 2023

The transfer of energy in turbulent flows occurs as a product of breaking of smaller and smaller eddies, this implies that in a spectral formulation, the transfer occurs from small wavenumbers to large wavenumbers. In order to observe the energy cascading, dissipation scales must be reached, which depend on the Reynolds number, this makes direct simulations of the Navier-Stokes equation impractical. Reduced models were investigated in recent years, such as shell models. Shell models are built by mimicking the spectral model respecting the mechanisms that are preserved, such as energy conservation, scaling and symmetries. In this paper, we will use the Sabra shell model for the study of the energy cascading in turbulent flows and we will show numerically that the energy dissipation is approximately −1/3 which is in agreement with the K41 theory.
Children’s Rights (Absent) in Universal Parenting Training
Authors: Rooth Hetty
Published: June 2023

In public health policies the child-parent relationship is regarded as a determinant for children’s development and future health. During the first two decades of the twenty-first century Sweden implemented parenting training on a universal level as a proactive measure. Sweden ratified the UN Convention on the rights of the Child in 1990 by which follows that all policies involving children are entwined with children’s rights. Still, research on society’s universal manual-based parenting training interventions depicts that the concept of rights is not an intrinsic value. Adult norms and a preventive approach tend to rule over health promotion goals involving children. Moreover, research results show that children possess an awareness of democratic values and insight in how to handle a dynamic interchange in daily family life. Children’s involvement in parenting training should be investigated and discussed as an ethical public health challenge for the future.

Lactic acid bacteria are gram-positive microorganisms that are characterized by the production of lactic acid as a key fermentation product. LAB, specifically Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, are essential dairy starter cultures for the manufacture of several fermented dairy products such as yogurt. Some LAB are useful microorganisms and are well known to have probiotic effects to provide foods with unique sensory qualities such as aroma and taste. Probiotic strains help to strengthen the human immune system, increasing the body’s resistance to diseases. Additionally, probiotics and postbiotics improve gut microbiome balance and prevent health issues. Postbiotics are substances that are produced by microbes’ metabolic activities and have a positive impact on diseases, either directly or indirectly. Extensive research has shown that postbiotics possess immunomodulatory and significant clinical effects. Their use has been found to enhance general health and alleviate symptoms of various disorders in healthy individuals. Furthermore, postbiotics exhibit anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Therefore, this chapter presents an overview and the importance of LAB as a probiotic and its importance to human health, metabolic fermentation, and antioxidant potential. The review also discusses different biotechnological methods that improve the survival rate of probiotics during processing and GIT transit like microbial encapsulation.

A risk to the nuclear industry is radiation, specifically neutron radiation. In order to maintain a safe workspace for workers, better shielding is being developed. Current shielding methods are examined and boron is considered a potential material for shielding. All living beings and non-living things on earth are exposed to the daily radiation of natural radiation sources in the air, water, soil, and even in their bodies, as well as artificial radiation sources produced by humans. To be safeguarded from the detrimental influences of radiation, it is important to be careful about three basic issues: time, distance, and shielding. The longer the exposure time to radiation from the radioactive source or the closer one is to the radioactive source, the higher the radiation dose to be received. The radiation emitted by some radionuclides is so intense that you can be exposed to it even though you cannot see it from miles away. It can only be protected from the effects of such intense radioactive materials with strong shielding. Boron, having a large cross-section, is combined with other materials in order to obtain the desired material properties to have shielding that can be applied in different situations.

With recent rapid technological advances, the automatic analysis of software logs has received particular attention. Currently, there is much research on the use of Deep Learning in the field of software log anomaly detection, and they have reported high accuracy of more than 0.9 in the f1-score. On the other hand, there are reports that it has not been used in the field of software development. We conducted a generalized evaluation against representative models for log anomaly detection to elucidate the cause of this problem. Five models were used in the subject: four representative models (two supervised and two unsupervised) and our proposed Neocortical Algorithm (supervised). We used the commonly used Blue Gene/L supercomputer log(BGL) dataset. The learning curves and cross-validation showed a tendency toward overfitting in all models. In addition, a survey of the frequency of log patterns confirmed the need for a more diverse dataset, as many of the patterns are a series of specific logs.
