The Friedrichs extension of a class of discrete symplectic systems
Authors: Zemánek Petr
Published: February 2025

The Friedrichs extension of minimal linear relation being bounded below and associated with the discrete symplectic system with a special linear dependence on the spectral parameter is characterized by using recessive solutions. This generalizes a similar result obtained by Došlý and Hasil for linear operators defined by infinite banded matrices corresponding to even-order Sturm–Liouville difference equations and, in a certain sense, also results of Marletta and Zettl or Šimon Hilscher and Zemánek for singular differential operators.

Published: February 2025

Data on the burden of extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing Enterobacterales are limited in Jamaica. This study aims to identify factors associated with the isolation of ceftriaxone-resistant Enterobacterales in patients at a private hospital in Jamaica through a retrospective case–control study comparing patients with and without ceftriaxone-resistant Enterobacterales in 2021. The case subjects had at least one Enterobacterales isolate resistant to ceftriaxone, and the controls had at least one culture, all without cephalosporin resistance, including those without growth. The data extracted included antibiotics received, organism, sex, and age. Older age, male sex, and the isolation of Enterobacter species were independently associated with increased odds of ceftriaxone-resistant Enterobacterales on logistic regression. Age and male sex may be markers for past exposure to β-lactam antibiotics or nosocomial infection with ceftriaxone-resistant Enterobacterales and may have a greater influence on isolation of ceftriaxone-resistant Enterobacterales compared with the receipt of antibiotics in the past six months, with which no association was observed on final analysis.

Published: February 2025

La caractérisation phénotypique a permis d'identifier trois écotypes distincts de poulets locaux du Togo sur la base de leur poids adulte  et de leurs mensurations corporelles. Cependant, les informations disponibles sur leurs performances sont limitées. L’objectif de l’étude  était d’évaluer et comparer, en conditions améliorées d’élevage, les performances de croissance et la mortalité de poulets locaux de trois  écotypes du Togo. Au total, 124 ; 89 et 99 poussins respectivement d’écotype Atakora, Forêt et Savane ont été identifiés à l’éclosion  et élevés dans les mêmes conditions pendant 20 semaines durant lesquelles les paramètres de croissance et la mortalité ont été  enregistrés. Les résultats ont montré des différences non significatives (P > 0,05) entre les écotypes en termes de gain moyen quotidien  (8,91 ; 8,40 et 9,12 g/j), d’indice de consommation (5,48 ; 5,04 et 4,88 pour les mâles et 8,36 ; 8,24 et 7,16 pour les femelles) et de mortalité  (16,13 ; 10,11 et 7,07%). Des différences significatives (p < 0,05) de performances ont été observées entre les écotypes Atakora et Forêt  pour l’ingestion alimentaire (57,65 contre 52,73 g/j) et entre les écotypes Forêt et Savane pour le poids vif à 20 semaines d’âge (1191,49 contre 1281,07 g). Il est conclu que les poulets locaux d’écotypes Atakora, Forêt et Savane ont des performances de croissance  comparables avec des courbes aux allures similaires. Les paramètres de ces courbes de croissance méritent d’être évalués.

La zone Centre-Est de la Côte d’Ivoire fait face à la variabilité climatique et à la dégradation des sols depuis des décennies. Aussi, assiste- on à une migration des agriculteurs des sommets et hauts de versants vers les mi-versants et bas de versants. Malgré ce mouvement  topographique, les rendements escomptés en cacaoculture ne sont pas atteints. L’objectif de cette étude a été d’évaluer l’état de fertilité  des sols sous forêts (Sf), jachères (Sj) et plantations (Sp), à AHUA, à KOYA et à ASKO. Des échantillons de sol ont été prélevés sur ces trois  sites et analysés au laboratoire. Les résultats ont montré pour les Sf, une densité apparente et une teneur en éléments grossiers élevées.  Les sols étaient de texture limono-argilo-sableuse. L’humidité au pF4,2 a été différente significativement selon le type d’occupation. La  réserve utile était élevée dans les Sj et Sp. Au niveau chimique, le pH a été faible (5,25 ˂ 6,05) ; la teneur en matière organique en  moyenne (1,81% ˂ 2,88%) a été faible dans les Sf, Sj et Sp. Pour toutes les situations, l’état de fertilité était bas à moyen avec une faible  teneur en azote (0,13% ˃ 0,03%), phosphore assimilable (2,12 mg/kg ˂ 11,5 mg/kg), magnésium (1,02 cmol/kg ˂ 2,45 cmol/kg) et CEC  (8,07 cmol/kg ˂ 21 cmol/kg). Les rapports Mg2+/K+ et (Ca2+ (+) Mg2+ ) / K+ respectivement supérieurs à 3,5 et 25 indiquaient une  déficience en K+ . Il ressort que les Sj et les Sp pourraient être favorables au cacaoyer. Cependant, les carences en éléments nutritifs  nécessitent des corrections.

Published: February 2025

L’utilisation non raisonnée des insecticides de synthèse dans le contrôle des insectes ravageurs par les maraîchers constituent un danger  pour le consommateur et l’environnement. Pour atténuer ce problème, des recherches de méthodes alternatives telles que les  pratiques culturales s’avèrent nécessaires. L’étude a été réalisée dans la Vallée du Kou, de novembre 2022 à mars 2023. Elle visait à  évaluer l’efficacité de plantes ayant des propriétés répulsives sur la densité des insectes ravageurs, les dégâts et le rendement de la  tomate. Pour ce faire, un dispositif expérimental en blocs aléatoires complets constitué de cinq traitements en quatre répétitions a été mis en place. Les analyses des données ont montré que les traitements ont eu un effet significatif (P=0,02) sur les dégâts occasionnés par  Helicoverpa armigera Hübner. La densité des prédateurs était plus importante dans l’association tomate + œillet d’Inde. Les  rendements moyens de tomate étaient plus élevés dans les parcelles traitées avec le pyrical 480 EC (8,71 t/ha), suivi des parcelles tomate  + œillet d’Inde (8,29 t/ha). L’intégration de l’œillet d’Inde dans un système push-pull pourra contribuer à améliorer l’efficacité du  dispositif de lutte biologique contre les insectes ravageurs de la tomate au Burkina Faso.

Published: February 2025

En el presente libro se explora el consumo de productos naturales, enfocándose en el yacón como opción para el tratamiento de la diabetes. A pesar de sus beneficios, el yacón se consume principalmente por recomendaciones de familiares y amigos, y no por su reconocimiento en el mercado. Se busca entender qué factores afectan su posicionamiento entre los diabéticos en Piura. Mediante un enfoque mixto, se identificaron productos competidores y las preferencias de los consumidores. Los hallazgos revelan que el perfil de los consumidores mayormente masculino, con formación profesional y dedicados a diversas ocupaciones, no influye significativamente en cómo se percibe el yacón. En cambio, el rabanito, la cúrcuma y el nabo afectan negativamente su posicionamiento. En última instancia, los resultados no validan el modelo inicial propuesto para entender esta dinámica en el mercado de diabéticos.

Authors: Ilham Muhammad
Published: February 2025

The Talang Mamak tribe in Indragiri Hulu, Riau, is an indigenous community with a traditional belief system. Islamic da'wah in this community requires a balanced and wise approach, which is religious moderation. This article aims to explain the role of religious moderation as the foundation of effective da'wah in creating harmonious living within the Talang Mamak community. A moderate approach to da'wah not only respects local traditions but also fosters a harmonious relationship between Islam and indigenous wisdom. Through dialogue, respect for customs, and inclusive approaches, da'wah can serve as a means of spiritual and social transformation without causing conflict or marginalizing groups. This study uses a descriptive-analytical method to understand the importance of moderation in da'wah within traditional communities such as the Talang Mamak tribe.

Exploring the drivers of economic growth and development in Algeria: an ARDL and ECM Models analysis of unemployment, FDI and inflation
Authors: LeHocine Ahmed Ben Chikh , Benbouziane Mohammed , Ali Adnane Hadj
Published: February 2025

This paper aims to study the impact of unemployment, foreign direct investment and inflation on economic growth in Algeria between 2000 to 2023.The study based on time series analysis using the distributed lag autoregressive model (ARDL) to estimate the long-term relationship and the error correction model (ECM) to estimate the short-term relationship. The results of the lag autoregressive model show that the unemployement has a negative impact on the GDP in the long run (1% in unemployment leads to a decrease by 0.9648% in GDP), while there is no significant long run relation between FDI and inflation on GDP. The ECM model results indicate that none of the variables have a significant impact of GDP growth in the long run. The strong and significant error correction term (ECT= -1.2276) confirms rapid adjustment to long-run equilibrium after deviations (122.76% per period) ensuring stability. And for this the dependent variable GDP need 0.814 year to adjust the deviation in short term and back to equilibrium at the short run (Unemployement, FDI and inflation display no short-run impact).

Esta transformación ha dado lugar a nuevas prácticas de gestión que buscan maximizar el potencial de cada individuo y fomentar una cultura organizacional positiva, que comprometan al éxito organizacional. Los líderes que inspiran, motivan y empoderan a sus equipos son capaces de crear entornos de trabajo donde las personas se sienten valoradas y comprometidas con los objetivos organizacionales, por lo que, el bienestar de los empleados se ha convertido en una prioridad, ya que se ha demostrado que un equipo saludable y feliz es más productivo y creativo, que el tradicional.
CDC-WONDER database analysis of maternal morbidity in the State of Florida: racial and ethnic disparities in Florida Maternal Morbidity, 2016-2022
Authors: Hayes Elisabeth , Arshad Shaima , Burgoa Sara , Wyatt Adam TM
Published: February 2025

In 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Wide-ranging ONline Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) Natality database was updated to include comprehensive pregnancy-related data, including maternal morbidity. This study identifies racial and ethnic disparities and pregnancy characteristics associated with maternal morbidity in Florida. This cross-sectional descriptive study analyzed data from the CDC’s WONDER Natality 2016-2022 expanded-results Database. Maternal morbidity was identified using “at least one checked” in the maternal morbidity selection. Seven maternal and pregnancy characteristics were analyzed, with statistical significance assessed by race and ethnicity using chi-square, t-test, and ANOVA. Asian mothers had the highest percentage (1.5%) of births associated with maternal morbidity, were the oldest, and had the lowest pre-pregnancy BMI (23.37). Black mothers had the lowest percentage (0.7%) of births with maternal morbidity, shortest average gestational age (36.59 weeks), lowest average birth weight (2,843.01 g), and fewest prenatal visits (8.78). Non-Hispanic mothers had a higher percentage of births associated with maternal morbidity than Hispanic mothers. The findings indicate significant disparities in maternal morbidity across racial and ethnic groups in Florida. The elevated morbidity rates among Asian mothers may be attributed to older maternal age and lower pre-pregnancy BMI, suggesting a need for targeted interventions. The findings may offer insight into the challenges specific to Florida’s maternal health landscape. Understanding these disparities allows healthcare providers and policymakers to refine strategies for improving maternal health in the state.
CHANGES IN "CROWNS" IN TOPOLOGICAL ALGEBRAS OF FUNCTIONS
Authors: Khudoyan Tigran M. , Karakhanyan Martin I.
Published: February 2025

In this work, for topological algebras of continuous complex-valued functions defined on a locally compact, the change in the topological "crown" of such algebra is studied depending on the topology introduced in it. Note that the concept of the "crown" was previously studied in works [1-3]. However, the concept of the topological "crown" for topological algebras of functions is introduced for the first time in work [3]. In fact, the topological "crown" is the set of all those linear multiplicative functionals that are not continuous on the given topological algebra.

Authors: Khechoyan Khachatur S.
Published: February 2025

Solving the problem of document analysis using machine learning methods requires a large amount of labeled data. Such data is not always available, and if available, it only covers certain types of documents. In this paper, we present a method for creating synthetic data that allows creating documents of any type by pre-defining the document components. By changing the arrangement of document components, text content, and visual elements using configurations, we create diverse and realistic datasets that mimic real documents. This method addresses the problem of the lack of labeled datasets and offers a flexible solution to improve the results of a machine learning model.

Reconceiving Environmental Justice: A Capabilities Approach to Reconciling Conservation, Culture, and Community Rights in Tanzania
Authors:   Student at Jordan University Collage, Mgina Hekima Yohana
Published: February 2025

This paper reimagines environmental justice through the lens of the ‘capabilities approach,’ a framework developed by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, to address the ethical challenges of environmental conservation in Tanzania, particularly in eviction contexts. It argues that environmental justice must prioritize the diverse capabilities of affected communities, allowing for localized responses to climate change and safeguarding cultural identity. Drawing on the ongoing land disputes across Tanzania, particularly in Ngorongoro, this paper emphasizes the necessity of a community-centred approach that carefully balances land rights, cultural preservation, and the well-being of affected communities. It calls for a rethinking of conventional justice frameworks to more accurately address the experiences and needs of marginalized groups, while advocating for the incorporation of Indigenous perspectives into environmental conservation policies and practices.

Objective: To verify the association between physical activity levels, nutritional status, biological maturation, and body satisfaction in adolescents.
Methods: The study included 250 adolescents, aged 14 to 19 years, both male and female, enrolled in a public reference school. Questionnaires were administered to measure physical activity level (IPAQ) and body satisfaction (Kakeshita silhouette scale). The students were instructed to answer the questions and indicate their perception of body image on the scale. Subsequently, anthropometric measurements (body mass, height, and trunk-cephalic height) were taken. Statistical analysis included the Chi-Square (X²) test to verify differences between variables and multiple linear regression, with a significance level of 5% (p<0.05).
Results: Physical activity levels showed sensitivity concerning body satisfaction, biological maturation, nutritional status, and gender variables. Only biological maturation showed a significant association with physical activity levels, with girls tending to have lower physical activity levels compared to boys.
Conclusion: After puberty, the high levels of physical activity diverged from existing literature and indicated a warning for high levels of body image distortion among adolescents.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: There is a lack of studies specifically analyzing the association between motor abilities and movement skills with cognitive abilities in children.
Objective: The study aimed to examine the association between motor abilities and movement skills with the cognitive abilities of preschool children.
Methodology: In this cross-sectional study, the total sample consisted of 91 children (41 boys and 50 girls), preschoolers aged five to six years (average age 6.09±0.38 years). Motor abilities were assessed through four Bruininks–Oseretsky (BOT-2) subtests, and movement skills were evaluated via the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2), while cognitive abilities were measured using the School Maturity Test (TZŠ+).
Results: Based on multiple regression analysis, significant associations between motor abilities and cognitive performance of preschool children were revealed. Specifically, the results demonstrated that motor abilities, particularly body coordination and fine motor integration explain a notable proportion of the variance in cognitive total scores. Contrary to expectations, movement skills did not demonstrate an association with cognitive abilities in preschool children.
Conclusions: In conclusion, the findings underline the importance of fostering comprehensive approaches to early childhood education that recognize the integral role of motor abilities in cognitive development. Further exploration is warranted to elucidate the specific mechanisms underlying the association between movement skills and cognitive development.

The aim of this review article is to elucidate the complex interrelationship between obesity management,
metabolic health and overall quality of life, as evidenced by a substantial body of research on healthy living in
recent years.
Materials and Methods
A comprehensive search of the literature was conducted using various databases and a range of keywords,
including "obesity management", "metabolic health", "quality of life", "physical activity", and "obesity
complications". The review encompassed randomized controlled trials, cohort studies and systematic reviews,
thereby ensuring a comprehensive and diverse range of evidence. The inclusion criteria for this review were
established to filter studies that assessed the relationship between obesity, metabolic health and quality of life.
The review included randomized controlled trials, cohort studies and systematic reviews, thereby ensuring a
comprehensive and diverse range of evidence. A total of 25 studies were selected for inclusion in this review,
with a focus on the relationship between obesity management, metabolic health, and quality of life. In order
to ensure the quality and relevance of the selected studies, the search was limited to peer-reviewed articles
published in English between 1981 and 2024, and studies using animal models were excluded.
Results
The management of obesity, the enhancement of quality of life, and the improvement of metabolic health are
inextricably linked. The development of metabolic disorders can be attributed to obesity, while poor metabolic
health can contribute to weight gain. The influence of lifestyle factors, including diet and physical activity, on
this relationship is of paramount importance. Diets that are high in processed foods and sedentary lifestyles are
associated with an increased risk of obesity and metabolic dysfunction.
Conclusion
The interplay between obesity, metabolic health, and quality of life is complex and multifaceted. This review
underscores the necessity for integrated approaches that consider genetic, environmental, and psychosocial
factors in developing effective interventions. By addressing these interconnected dimensions, we can enhance
our understanding of obesity and improve health outcomes for individuals affected by this pervasive condition
Analisis Algoritma Logistic Regression dan Support Vector Machine pada Kasus Klasifikasi Citra Hewan Rawa dengan Dataset yang tidak Seimbang
Authors: Dedy Dedy
Published: February 2025

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kinerja dua algoritma machine learning, Logistic Regression dan Support Vector Machine (SVM), dalam tugas klasifikasi citra hewan rawa menggunakan dataset yang tidak seimbang. Dataset yang digunakan terdiri dari empat kategori hewan rawa: Buaya, Kodok, Kura-kura, dan Ular, dengan distribusi yang sangat tidak merata. Kelas Kura-kura memiliki jumlah sampel yang jauh lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan kelas lainnya, menciptakan tantangan ketidakseimbangan data yang signifikan. Metode penelitian dimulai dengan mengimpor dataset citra hewan rawa ke dalam tool Orange Data Mining, diikuti oleh proses ekstraksi fitur menggunakan SqueezeNet (local) sebagai embedder. Dua model machine learning, yaitu Logistic Regression dan SVM, kemudian dilatih menggunakan fitur yang diekstraksi. Evaluasi model dilakukan dengan menambahkan widget test and score untuk mengukur metrik performa seperti Area Under the Curve (AUC), akurasi klasifikasi (CA), F1-Score, precision, recall, dan Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Logistic Regression unggul dalam hampir semua metrik evaluasi dibandingkan SVM. Logistic Regression mencapai nilai AUC sebesar 0.985, akurasi klasifikasi 0.908, F1-Score 0.909, precision 0.909, recall 0.908, dan MCC 0.859. Sebaliknya, SVM mencapai nilai AUC 0.971, akurasi klasifikasi 0.863, F1-Score 0.867, precision 0.877, recall 0.863, dan MCC 0.797. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa Logistic Regression merupakan model yang lebih tepat untuk tugas klasifikasi citra hewan rawa dengan dataset yang tidak seimbang. Model ini tidak hanya menunjukkan kinerja yang lebih baik dalam membedakan kelas-kelas citra tetapi juga lebih akurat dan seimbang dalam mengklasifikasikan sampel dari kelas minoritas

Intellectual Capital has become one of the essential components for companies to be able to generate value in this era of knowledge. With the different activities, markets, needs and goals in each industry, companies have difficulties in generating value using its Intellectual Capital they have. The ability of companies to utilize their Intellectual Capital, may increase investor’s confidence in the perceived value of the company. Although many studies have been done but empirical research still shows some inconsistencies. The purpose of this research is to examine whether intellectual capital affects a company’s predicted profitability based on its return on assets (ROA), with the type of industry as moderating variable. This quantitative research was designed using total of 645 samples consisting of 129 companies divided into 10 types of industries over a five-year period (2018-2022) in Indonesia. According to the research, Intellectual Capital and its two components (Human Capital and Structural Capital), have a positive and significant influence on ROA, but Capital Employed does not have a significant impact on ROA. While the Industry Types moderates the relationship of ROA to Intellectual Capital and Human Capital. The limitation in this study is that it does not cover 5 industries out of a total of 15 types of Capital Intellectual High industries due to the lack or absence of companies in such industries on the Indonesian Stock Exchange. Despite these constraints, industry practitioners included in the sample need to pay attention to Intellectual Capital and its components as it is beneficial in order to generate a return for the company. This research also contributed to the literature of Intellectual Capital by introducing a moderation variable of the type of industry that can add new insights related to the role of Intelligent Capital in the respective types of industry.

Published: February 2025

Food spoilage and human health are greatly affected by microorganisms, such as bacteria, algae, fungi, and protozoa. While traditional identification methods are reliable, they are often laborious and time-consuming. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and image processing have made significant progress in identifying and classifying microorganisms quickly and accurately. In this review, we will examine image processing and artificial intelligencebased techniques for identifying and classifying microorganisms relevant to human health and food spoilage, comparing their effectiveness to traditional methods and assessing their impact on food safety. Bacteria, algae, fungi, and protozoa are the four major groups of microorganisms examined in this review. A review of applications in food safety, clinical microbiology, and environmental monitoring is presented in this paper. It examines how bacteria, yeast, and molds cause food spoilage and examines their mechanisms of action. Furthermore, the article highlights common foodborne illnesses and the health consequences of eating contaminated food. The paper also discusses advances in identifying spoilage-causing microorganisms, with a particular emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI) and image processing. With modern techniques, microbial contamination can be detected more accurately and efficiently, thus improving food safety. Finally, the review concludes by analyzing current challenges and future directions in the field, emphasizing the need for continued innovation in microbial detection methods. In the review, rapid detection of foodborne pathogens is highlighted, as well as automated spoilage monitoring. This technology has the potential to revolutionize food safety practices and clinical microbiology, so it must continue to be developed and validated.
