Published: March 2024

Brokers in economic transactions are common jobs undertaken by society. However, in practice, brokers often pose problems, especially for consumers or buyers. It is not uncommon for buyers to find that the price set during the transaction is not the price set by the owner of the goods, but rather a price added by the broker. The significant price difference from the original price becomes a separate problem for the community.

This article aims to explain the practice of brokers in Islam by analyzing the Fatwa DSN MUI NO. 151/DSN-MUI/VI/2022 on Samsarah Contracts. The focus of this article is: What is the nature of brokers in Islam? How does the Fatwa DSN MUI No. 151/DSN-MUI/VI/2022 on Samsarah Contracts play a role in ensuring the legality of broker practices in Indonesia?

In this article, researchers use a research library approach. Primary data sources include literature on brokers in Islam. In Islam, brokerage is considered an allowed practice; a broker aims to provide assistance to both the buyer and the owner of the goods to be sold. Meanwhile, the role of Fatwa DSN MUI NO. 151/DSN-MUI/VI/2022 has outlined the technical implementation of broker services and provided arguments in accordance with Islamic Sharia teachings.

Electrically conductive Nb-doped anatase TiO2 (Ti1−x
Nb
x
O2: TNO) films can be fabricated through mist CVD using aqueous precursor solutions of water-soluble oxo-peroxo-glycolato titanium complex and ammonium niobium oxalate. Post-deposition annealing in vacuum crystallizes the as-deposited amorphous films into a conductive anatase phase, leading to the fabrication of conductive TNO films. Notably, the addition of H2O2 to the precursor solutions enhances both the crystallinity and conductivity of the annealed TNO films. A Ti0.77N0.23O2 film, annealed at 700 °C, exhibits a resistivity of 2.0 × 10−2 Ω cm at ambient temperature. In general, the solution-based fabrication of TiO2 films relies on organic solvents, which are sometimes toxic and explosive. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that conductive TNO films can be prepared from less toxic and nonflammable aqueous solutions. These findings mark a significant advancement towards a more environmentally compatible process for fabricating TNO films with sufficient conductivity.

This paper deals with the identification of the Darien Gap as the main channel of continuous clandestine, illegal, undocumented and irregular migratory pathways of African Youths which caught our attention in the post-COVID 19 of the 21st Century with gross ambitions to get richer faster through the slogan of greener pastures with the majority giving off their lives ignorantly and embarrassingly to tilapias of the Mexican deep rivers in an attempt to cross to North American countries of United States and Canada. The end results was the untimely psychological tortures of their parents and sporadic internal crises of blaming even those who never contributed to such unwanted illegal movements but raising voices to educate on the dangers of un official migration both internally or externally. In fact the majority of the youths having such ambitions of illegal crossing of the Darien Gap are totally ignorant of the nature of the route which has been above the imagination of top ranking Engineers to open it to be more possible for vehicles to use. The hilly, mountainous, muddy, swampy, smugglers, kidnapping, ripping and all sorts of trafficking are characteristics of the Darien Gap which none of the agent involve in such illegal route can account to their victims. It is just certain that any of such irregular extra-continental travelling without passing through official diplomatic services which moderate bilateral relations can only be termed as above. It is also our findings that the clandestine pathway routes those using are passing is characterized with wild animals, dangerous human criminals of trafficking, bandits, muddy, dense forested, not motorable as even top engineers have not been able to successfully mapped out a good road that can be constructed with the Darien deadly jungle.

Authors: Kaoje Hussaini Ibrahim , Mohammed Mukhtar , Kaoje Hassan Ibrahim
Published: March 2024

This article is directed to study "Features of Nigerian English" in Everything Will Come by Sefi Atta. The English known as Nigerian English (NE) is a variety of English that stands between Pidgin (a grammatically simplified form of a language with elements taken from local languages, used for communication between people not sharing a common language) and the world's standard English. The English used in West Africa reveals varying degrees of vernacular influences at the morphological, syntactic and semantic levels; as well as at the phonological level of spoken and written English. And that may be the reason why in many novels written by Nigerians, we notice some vernacular languages and some forms of deviation in the above-mentioned aspects which all together can be termed as "Nigerian English". The study uses a descriptive research design and the theories adopted are New Criticism and Russian Formalism.
Single Center Evaluation of Long-Term Results of Glargin U-300 in Insulin Naive Patients In a Real-World Setting
Authors: Gezer Deniz , Ecin Seval  Müzeyyen
Published: March 2024

Objective: Insulin therapy stands as one of the most effective and well-established therapeutic options for managing glycemic control in Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) represents a new long-acting insulin analog, which has demonstrated a decrease in the risk of hypoglycemia and a reduction in the total number of injections due to prolonged insulin absorption. In this study, we investigated the long-term effects of Gla-300 on Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) and HbA1c levels, as well as the incidence of hypoglycemia in insulin-naive patients admitted to the Internal Medicine outpatient clinic, over a period of 0, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months..
Material and Methods: Between January 2018 and June 2022, insulin-naive patients diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) who initiated treatment with Gla-300 and sought care at the Internal Medicine outpatient clinic were subjected to retrospective analysis.
Results: The study included 49 insulin-naive patients. A statistically significant decrease was observed in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) (p = 0.03) and HbA1c (p = 0.02) levels during the 24-month follow-up period of Glargine U-300. Additionally, a significant reduction in both FPG (p < 0.01) and HbA1c (p < 0.01) values was achieved at the time of diagnosis and at 3 months. Hypoglycemia was reported in only 1 patient (2%) during our study, indicating a very low hypoglycemia rate.
Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus (DM) poses a significant public health challenge, resulting in economic burden and diminished quality of life. Developed to address these challenges, Gla-300 serves as a long-acting basal insulin that effectively reduces the risk of hypoglycemia while offering targeted glycemic control, as evidenced by our study findings. In Turkey, there is a pressing need for multicenter, prospective real-world studies that incorporate parameters such as insulin dosage and weight monitoring.

PHYSICS EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY (PhET) INTERACTIVE SIMULATIONS AS TEACHING AID IN ENHANCING STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE IN PHYSICS
Authors: Melvin C. Eleo  , Ylcy B. Manguilimotan
Published: March 2024

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Physics Education Technology (PhET) interactive simulations in enhancing students performance in Physics. It is a quantitative study involving pretest-posttest quasi-experimental research. The respondents for this study were 60 Grade 11 senior high school students, specifically from two sections in a public secondary school in the Division of Davao de Oro. They were categorized into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The pretest and posttest questionnaire, derived from the Grade 11 Physical Science module, underwent pilot testing to ensure its validity and reliability and was utilized as the instrument. The mean, mean gain score, T-test for correlated mean, and T-test for uncorrelated mean were employed as the statistical treatments for this study. The results revealed that before the intervention, the students performance in both groups was at the same level. However, during the post-test, the control and experimental groups improved their Physics performance, albeit at different levels. A significant difference was observed between the mean gain scores of the two groups. This suggests that the intervention, Physics Education Technology (PhET) interactive simulation, is more effective compared to the conventional method of teaching. The researcher recommends that students play an active role in the learning process. Teachers should incorporate PhET interactive simulations into their classes, and administrators should provide relevant training and workshops on the proper use of PhET interactive simulations. Future researchers are encouraged to conduct studies on other areas related to PhET interactive simulations.

Authors: Wahyudi Imam , Astharini Dwi , Gandana Danny M , Hamid Sofian , Hermawan Denny , Aribowo Budi
Published: March 2024

Visible Light (VL) has received significant attention due to its benefits in energy efficiency, wide bandwidth availability, and resistance to electromagnetic interference. This final project discusses VL utilizing the Kalman Filter (KF) to predict and estimate the position of related data. The development of the VL method is carried out using Xilinx FPGA Arty A7 hardware, and the KF implementation is carried out in a two-dimensional framework with the Linear KF approach. The main objective of this Final Project is to implement VL using Photodetectors (Photodiode and Photoresistor LM393) on FPGA. The use of Xilinx FPGA Arty A7 hardware and Xilinx SDK software provides the flexibility and reliability required for system implementation. The results indicate that the implementation of Xilinx FPGA Arty A7-35T with KF and the use of 16 LED and 8 LED configurations yield relatively accurate estimations. While the Photodiode LM393 (PD LM393) sensor does not exhibit superior results compared to the Photoresistor LM393 (PR LM393) sensor, this research effectively optimizes light measurements by utilizing the sensor and KF algorithm. The Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) results show that for the system with 16 LEDs, KF with PR LM393 has an RMSE of approximately ). This RMSE value indicates that KF with PR LM393 can provide relatively more accurate estimations. Similarly, for the system with 8 LEDs, KF with PR LM393 has an RMSE of around ). In this case, KF with PR LM393 again provides relatively more accurate estimations. Meanwhile, the RMSE result for 2D KF in this system is approximately ), indicating that the KF estimation has a relatively small error value compared to the actual measurement value. This demonstrates that KF effectively reduces noise and measurement data fluctuations in the LM393 Photodetector system with 16 LEDs.

Published: March 2024

Bamboo is a versatile and valuable resource that has been shown to have social, ecological, and economic benefits in many countries worldwide. Even though Uganda has a suitable environment for bamboo growth, it remains underutilized. One of the key challenges in promoting bamboo farming is the need for more information about the growth performance of different bamboo species in various site conditions. Therefore, this study determined the morphological characteristics and growth performance of Bambusa vulgaris in Uganda. A total of 24 bamboo farms were selected from a list of bamboo farmers provided by key informants using stratified sampling. These farms had relatively uniform B. vulgaris stands and were drawn from Uganda's three agroecological zones (AEZs): the Southwestern, West Nile, and Lake Victoria crescent agro-ecological zones. Eight temporary sample plots were established in each zone, and various growth parameters were measured. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Sidak post-hoc test was used to compare the performance of Bambusa vulgaris across the different agro-ecological zones based on growth parameters. The results of the study showed that the total above-ground biomass was highest in the Lake Victoria crescent (24.773 kg/ha), followed by the West Nile (17.141 kg/ha) and the Southwestern (15.125 kg/ha) agro-ecological zones. The growth rate of B. vulgaris after three years was found to be similar to the outstanding growth rate mentioned in the literature. The growth performance of B. vulgaris was notably better in the L. Victoria crescent compared to the West Nile and Southwestern highlands – suggesting that efforts to promote the growing of B. vulgaris should prioritize the L. Victoria crescent agro-ecological zone. Overall, this study provides valuable information on the growth performance of B. vulgaris in different agro-ecological zones in Uganda. This information can be used to guide the promotion and development of bamboo farming in the country, which has the potential to improve livelihoods and contribute to sustainable development
Mordell–Tornheim Zeta Values, Their Alternating Version, and Their Finite Analogs
Authors: Wang Crystal , Zhao Jianqiang
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, we consider the classical Mordell–Tornheim zeta values and their alternating version. It is well-known that these values can be expressed as rational linear combinations of multiple zeta values (MZVs) and the alternating MZVs, respectively. We show that, however, the spaces generated by the Mordell–Tornheim zeta values over the rational numbers are in general much smaller than the MZV space and the alternating MZV space, respectively, which disproves a conjecture of Bachmann, Takeyama and Tasaka. Second, we study supercongruences of some finite sums of multiple integer variables. This kind of congruences is a variation of the so called finite multiple zeta values when the moduli are primes instead of prime powers. In general, these objects can be transformed to finite analogs of the Mordell–Tornheim sums which can be reduced to multiple harmonic sums. This approach not only simplifies the proof of a few previous results but also generalizes some of them. At the end of the paper, we provide a general conjecture involving this type of sums, which is supported by strong numerical evidence.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between growth mindset and academic stress in high school students in Yogyakarta. The hypothesis in this study is that there is a significant relationship between growth mindset and academic stress in high school students in Yogyakarta. The higher the growth mindset, the lower the academic stress in high school students in Yogyakarta. Conversely, the lower the growth mindset, the higher the academic stress in high school students in Yogyakarta. The hypothesis in this study is accepted. The subjects in this study involved 110 high school students in Yogyakarta.. The data collection method in this study is a scale and there is a psychological scale used in this study, namely the growth mindset scale with academic stress. The study results obtained a correlation coefficient (rxy) = 0.946 and p = 0.001 (p ≤ 0.01). Which means there is a positive relationship between growth mindset and academic stress in high school students in Yogyakarta. The higher the growth mindset, the lower the academic stress in high school students in Yogyakarta. Conversely, the lower the growth mindset, the higher the academic stress in high school students in Yogyakarta. The hypothesis in this study is accepted. The coefficient of determination or coefficient of determination (R2) obtained was 0.894, which means the contribution of growth mindset and academic stress was 89.4%. This shows that as much as 10.6% is caused by other variables.
Thinking computationally in translational psychiatry. A commentary on Neville et al. (2024)
Authors: Yamamori Yumeya , Robinson Oliver J.
Published: March 2024

There is a growing focus on the computational aspects of psychiatric disorders in humans. This idea also is gaining traction in nonhuman animal studies. Commenting on a new comprehensive overview of the benefits of applying this approach in translational research by Neville et al. (Cognitive Affective & Behavioral Neuroscience 1–14, 2024), we discuss the implications for translational model validity within this framework. We argue that thinking computationally in translational psychiatry calls for a change in the way that we evaluate animal models of human psychiatric processes, with a shift in focus towards symptom-producing computations rather than the symptoms themselves. Further, in line with Neville et al.'s adoption of the reinforcement learning framework to model animal behaviour, we illustrate how this approach can be applied beyond simple decision-making paradigms to model more naturalistic behaviours.
Farm Resources Affecting Cocoa Production In Ikom Local Government Area of Cross River State, Nigeria

Published: March 2024

This study determined factors affecting resource use efficiency in cocoa production in Ikom local government area of Cross River State, Nigeria. The study described the socioeconomic characteristics of the cocoa farmers in the study area and determined the relationship between farm productive inputs and output of cocoa production. Primary data were collected and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as frequency, percentages, mean, and regression analysis. From the findings of the study, it was revealed that males were dominant in cocoa production with 80.8% as compared to 19.2% in the case of females and a productive age bracket of 21-50 years. The distribution on marital status revealed that 57.5% of respondents were married, 20.0% were single, 9.2% and 13.3 % were widow/widower and divorced respectively. The study also indicated that cocoa farmers in the study area had household sizes ranging between 3 -20 in a household. The findings of the study indicated that most of the farmers had some level of formal educational background. The distribution of farming experience showed that cocoa farming is not just an occupation but a way of life for the people in the study area, hence, it does not require years of experience to be involved in cocoa production. The analysis of the regression results revealed that farm resources such as farm size, labour, capital, herbicides, insecticides and cocoa seedlings positively and significantly influenced cocoa output per hectare. Cocoa farmers are advised to join cooperatives to pool together their financial resources to get loans and enjoy other benefits of cooperative membership such as the availability of market outlets for cocoa sales; marketing information and improved cocoa seedlings for planting.

Published: March 2024

The growth and yield of three maize cultivars were examined in relation to the impact of Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) enriched soil. According to the results, plants grown on soil treated with MSW and inorganic fertilizer (NPK) produced significantly (P≤0.05) taller plants, larger leaves and higher number of leaves than plants grown on the control soil. On the other hand, plants grown on soils fertilized with MSW 1 showed significantly (P≤0.05) greater values of these indicators. The study also demonstrated that maize cultivar TZE yellow, EVDT 99 and Comp-1-synthetic showed no significant variation at the later growth stage but TZE yellow significantly (P≤0.05) had taller plants, larger leaves, and higher number of leaves at the early stage of crop growth. Comp-1-synthetic produced more grain and more grains per cob which was statistically at par with TZE yellow but differ significantly (P≤0.05) from EVDT 99. Crops grown on MSW and NPK treated soils had significantly (P≤0.05) higher grain yields and more grains per cob than those grown on the control soil. However, compared to NPK treated soils, MSW treated soils significantly (P≤0.05) produced better grain yield and number of grains per cob. The maize cultivars' differences in crude protein content were significant at P≤0.05. The crude protein content of TZE yellow was significantly (P≤0.05) higher than that of EVDT 99 and Comp-1-synthetic. Additionally, plants cultivated on MSW 1 treated soil had considerably higher crude protein content than plants grown on other soil types. Therefore, if municipal solid wastes are sorted and handled, MSW enriched soils could be employed to boost maize production.
A brief overview of modern approaches to the therapy of resistant arterial hypertension
Authors: Lazarev P. O.
Published: March 2024

Resistant hypertension is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. The optimal drug therapy for resistant hypertension has not been fully clarified, there are few studies on this issue in the literature. We compared the efficacy of nebivolol 5 mg, a third-generation beta-blocker, with spironolactone 25 mg in patients with resistant hypertension.

81 patients with resistant hypertension were included in the study. Resistant hypertension was defined as the presence of official blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mm Hg. when patients received 3 or more antihypertensive drugs, including diuretics. Blood pressure was recorded in office and outpatient settings at baseline and after 8 weeks of treatment.

Office systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure at 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring were significantly lower compared to baseline values in the nebivolol and spironolactone groups. The decrease in 24-hour mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the nebivolol group was 14.9±19.8 mm Hg. Art. and 9.3±12.7 mm Hg. Art. compared to 19.5±16.4 mm Hg. Art. and 13.7±10.8 mm Hg. Art. in the spironolactone group, respectively. The reduction in 24-hour mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure was not significantly different between the nebivolol and spironolactone groups (P = 0.338 and P = 0.153).

Therefore, nebivolol is an effective treatment option for resistant hypertension, and the antihypertensive effect of this drug is similar to low doses of spironolactone.

Qualification prediction is a crucial process in
determining whether an applicant is qualified for a
particular position. However, traditional methods of
evaluation often rely on the experience and intuition of the
evaluator, which may not always be accurate. This study
proposed the use of a supervised machine learning
approach, specifically the Naïve Bayes algorithm, to
predict faculty qualification based on a labeled dataset.
The developed Faculty Qualification Analysis System for
Perpetual Help College of Manila would allow users to
input appropriate test data and generate results of
qualified or not qualified. The system’s effectiveness and
acceptance had 4.3 and 4.4 ratings with verbal
interpretation of very high and strongly acceptable. The
results of this study demonstrated the potential of machine
learning algorithms to improve the accuracy and
efficiency of qualification prediction processes in
educational institutions.
