Authors: Abu-Ellail Farrag F.B. , Sadek K.A. , El-Azez Y.M. Abd , Fares W.M.
Published: February 2024

An experiment was conducted on stability analysis of seven diverse monogram sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) varieties for root and sugar yields and their attributes grown under three harvesting dates after sowing during 2021-22 and 2022-23. The data generated from eighteen environments representing the combinations among harvesting dates, locations, and seasons were subjected to additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) genotype main effect and genotype x environment interaction (GGE Biplot) analysis. Results obtained from AMMI combined analysis of variance showed that the main effects of sugar beet varieties, environments, and their interaction were highly significant for all studied traits. It is observed that sugar beet plants grown in the Nubaria region and harvested after 210 days, gave the best results for most root and sugar quality traits. The analysis further revealed that Volna and Klara varieties were the elite ones regarding root and sugar yields, and juice quality parameters as an overall mean across the environments. AMMI stability analysis indicated the variety Vangelis was broadly or narrowly stable under different environments and reflected somewhat good performance for most studied traits, while Klara and Volna were considered very promising as above stable ones using GGE Biplot graphs. The findings indicated that GGE Biplot graphs are more accurate and more informative as compared to AMMI stability analysis.

Published: February 2024

The importance of teaching staff in innovating in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 is something that must be considered, one of which is innovating in presenting teaching materials. Electronic-based teaching materials that can be easily used by students are electronic-based student worksheets (E-LKM).  E-LKM represents an easily assessable resource for a student. The utilization of E-LKM by students should be in alignment with their specific needs, one of which is the role of universities in promoting the cultivation of organic food crops. Therefore, one of the steps forward involves designing an E-LKM based on the cultivation of organic food plants. This research introduces a  novel approach,  which will develop an E-LKM based on organic food crop cultivation which is expected to provide insight to students about the importance of cultivating organic food crops as a form of food self-sufficiency. The development of this E-LKM  design based on organic food crop cultivation adapts the ADDIE development model. It can be concluded that the ADDIE Model is used in the design of developing E-LKM based on organic food crop cultivation because it has systematic steps, is presented in detail, and produces specific products. From our result, evaluation criteria encompass material validity, practicality, and readability aiming for a minimum score of 85.0-100%.

The Role of the Indian Education System in Reducing Institutional Stress
Authors: Sharma Ashok Kumar
Published: February 2024

The country has a population of 140 million people and India’s GDP is still around 6.95%, compared to just 2% when it gained independence from Britain. We are expanding, but at a very steady pace. What’s the reason? Is it due to a lack of entrepreneurial skills, the government, fear of taking risks, or the younger generation? The education system of a country is an important factor that will be discussed today. This is a great thing, but there are steps we can take to accelerate our country’s growth. Stress is the wear and tear our bodies and minds experience as they try to adapt to a constantly changing environment. First of all, stress occurs when your resources cannot cope with the pressure. Stress isn’t a terrible thing, but it depends on how you deal with it. Most of the stress we experience occurs independently. It is determined by how we view life. Whether it is an event that excites or threatens us, motivates or demotivates us, or makes us happy or sad is largely a function of our self-perception. In today’s world of rapid industrialization and urbanization, institutional stress is an inevitable part of life. It is a psychosomatic disorder that affects a person’s efficiency, productivity, well-being and quality of work. Stress among teachers represents a special type of institutional stress. In today’s demanding world, teaching is considered a difficult profession that can have a negative impact on the teacher’s health, which in turn can affect children and the classroom environment. In India, each class usually has 50 to 60 students. This can also make teachers feel stressed. Given the need to ensure that each child’s needs are met, meeting the needs of 60 students simultaneously can be a challenging task for teachers. Therefore, the Indian education system today plays an important role in reducing institutional stress.
The Principle of the Healthy Cooperation between the State and the Church for the Benefit of the Institution of Marriage and the Family: An Introduction to the Issue
Authors: Krukowski Józef
Published: February 2024

The article deals with two themes that are of fundamental importance for the present and the future of the relations between the state, the Church and the nation. The first issue concerns the principle of Church–state cooperation with respect to the paradigm of religious-political dualism that emerged in European culture following Jesus Christ’s commandment, “So give back to Cesar what is Cesar’s, and to God what is God’s” (Matt. 22:21), with respect to two legal systems – canon law and Polish law – in the context of social and political transformations leading from the communist totalitarianism to democracy. The second issue relates to the application of the principle of Church–state cooperation to benefit the institution of marriage and the family, in keeping with Article 18 of the Polish Constitution and Article 11 of the Concordat between the Holy See and Poland.

“Correlation does not Imply Causation”, while Psychotropic Drugs do cause Neurochemical Imbalances and Dysfunction of Neurotransmission
Authors: Morris Preethi
Published: February 2024

Mental health professionals often prescribe psychotropic drugs to patients diagnosed with mental health illnesses under the premise that neurochemical imbalance is a main underlying cause of mental health disorders. In this paper we discuss reasons to believe that there is no scientific research which provides evidence that neurochemical imbalances or problems with neurotransmission in the brain are causative factors in the etiology of mental health illnesses. Behavioral and neurochemical research studies in animals show an ASSOCIATION between mental health states and alteration of neurotransmitter signaling. However, correlation does not imply causation. To the contrary, stress paradigms in rodents show a diminishing of the activity of the mesolimbic dopaminergic reward pathway _as a result of_ long-term stressful stimuli. Furthermore, studies in human cases of mental health disorders show that psychotropic drugs cause disturbances in neurotransmission or neurochemical homeostasis as seen in biochemical research studies, and this is manifest by the behavioral consequences experienced during withdrawal in humans and animals.

SIGNIFICANCE: This paper presents reasons to question the safety and efficacy of the common use of psychotropic drugs in the mental health industry.

Authors: Sharif Suleiman , Al-Kaisi Haya A. , Weisy Om Kalthoom M. , Hafez Obaida , Sharif Rubian S.
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND: Inter-professional collaboration (IPC) is necessary for the provision of patient care poor IPC has negative impact on the delivery of healthcare services and patient care.

OBJECTIVE: Purpose of this study is to assess and evaluate the knowledge and attitude of final years’ medical students toward IPC.

METHODS: A cross-sectional study was designed, pre-piloted and distributed to final years’ pharmacy, medical/ dental students in the University of Sharjah and Ajman University of Science and Technology (UAE).

RESULTS: A total of 212 (70.7%) surveys have been received out of 250 targeted students, 3 of the surveys were excluded due to incomplete data. The response rate was 83.6%.The majority of the respondents were females (155; 75.2%), Arabs (156; 75.7%), medical and dental students (129; 61.7%), senior students (104; 51.5%) and were living with their families (133; 63.6%). More than half of the participants were between 21-23 years old (158; 76%) and were self-sponsored (155; 74.9%). Among the 209 students, 80 (38.3%) of them were pharmacy students and the rest were medical and dental students (129; 61.7%). In general students’ attitudes towards inter-professional collaboration seem to be positive. The majority of students of both groups agreed that share common goals and objectives when caring for the patient, their roles are complementary to one another and an introductory IP experience would have a positive impact on their understanding of collaboration and teamwork. Again there was a general agreement among all students of the present barriers to effective inter-professional education and collaboration.

CONCLUSION: We conclude that some professional mandatory classes need to be common among the different health colleges. In addition, workshops should be implemented for pharmacy, medical, dental and nurse students as a sort of practical regular extracurricular activities or can be projected as a theatrical play.
Levels of Rare Earth Elements in Food and Human Dietary Exposure: A Review
Authors: González Neus , Domingo Jose L
Published: February 2024

Rare earth elements (REE) are a group made up of these 17 metals: Ce, Dy, Er, Eu, Gd, Ho, La, Lu, Nd, Pr, Pm, Sc, Sm, Tb, Tm, Y and Yb. In the current century, the applications of REE have significantly increased, being used as components in high technology devices of great importance industrial and economic. However, information on human exposure to REE, as well as the potential toxic effects of these elements is still limited. In general, for metals the dietary intake is the main route of exposure for non-occupationally exposed individuals, which should be also expected for REE. The current paper was aimed at reviewing the studies conducted over the world, focused on determining the levels of REE in food samples, as well as the dietary intake of these elements. The results of most studies do not suggest potential health risks for the consumers of the analyzed freshwater and marine species of higher consumption, or derived from the intake of a number of vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, as well as other various foodstuffs (honey, tea, rice, etc.). Although the current estimated daily intakes (EDIs) of REE seem not being of concern, taking into account the expected wide use of these elements in the next years, to assess periodically the potential health risks of the dietary exposure to REE would be clearly recommendable. In fact, this is already being done with well-known toxic elements as As, Cd, Pb and Hg, among other potentially toxic metals.
On Misconceptions Regarding Special Relativity and Acceleration
Authors: Lambare Justo
Published: February 2024

We discuss the extension of special relativity to noninertial reference frames. It is commonly believed that special relativity can only be applied to inertial systems of reference and that noninertial systems should be approached with general relativity. We explain that this is a common misconception. The local application of Lorentz transformations to noninertial frames is essential for extending special relativity and relativistic gravitation theory.

Authors: Lisboa Lucas Aparecido Manzani , Figueiredo Paulo Alexandre Monteiro de , Cavichioli José Carlos , Galindo Fernando Shintate
Published: February 2024

Plants dynamically respond to varying light intensities, which may further interact with their nutrient status to affect gas exchange parameters. This study investigated the combined effect of instantaneous light intensity and magnesium suppression on tomato and bell pepper cultivation. Two independent experiments were conducted in September 2022 using the tomato variety Mariana (Sakata®) and bell pepper variety Magali R (Sakata®) at the Faculty of Agricultural and Technological Sciences, Dracena, São Paulo, Brazil. A completely randomized 2x5 factorial design was employed, with the first factor being the presence/absence of magnesium in the nutrient solution and the second factor being four light intensities: 0 (control), 600, 1200, and 1800 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) applied instantaneously using an IRGA device. Magnesium deficiency was confirmed to be a limiting factor for gas exchange responses in both tomato and pepper crops. Notably, the light intensity of 1200 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ PAR elicited the most optimal gas exchange performance in both plant species.

Authors: Abrar Sami  , Dr. Engr. Md. Rashidul Hasan
Published: February 2024

An analysis for drought condition has been made in the Rajshahi district of Bangladesh. The assessment of drought for the country has become an urgent need. The agriculture of the country is dependent on the amount of precipitation. As drought and precipitation are inversely related so it is desired to know the condition of Rajshahi. The main characteristics that define drought are the absence of precipitation for a lengthy period and a low distribution of rainfall in contrast to the normal climatic condition. The monthly maximum average temperature data, monthly minimum average temperature data and total monthly precipitation data for the last 48 years (1971-2019) from Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) are utilized for the analysis process. An online software named DrinC is preferred due to its open-source platform and its user-friendly interface. The meteorological data serve as inputs for the software. The Deciles Index (DI), the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and the Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI) have been used to identify the drought condition of Rajshahi. The values of the DI and SPI are generated from the precipitation data. However, for the generation of the RDI, the precipitation data as well as the potential evapo-transpiration (PET) data, which is an intermediate data that is generated from the two different types of temperature data via DrinC software are used. The values of SPI, RDI and DI values are presented in a tabular as well as in graphical form. From the comparison of these data and from the study of the recurrence interval the state and the repetition of drought in Rajshahi district can be determined.

Published: February 2024

The deep cement mixing (DCM) method is a solution for reinforcing soft ground and has been applied in many countries. In Vietnam, the DCM method has also been experimented on and obtained positive results, especially in medium-scale and below-construction sites in the Mekong Delta where there is a thick layer of soft sediment soil. However, stiffened deep cement mixing (SDCM) column has barely been researched and experimented on. For this reason, the research on theory and design method for the SDCM column, especially using the SDCM column for reinforcing road foundation on soft ground is the main topic of this paper. The result from analysis using the finite element method has shown that the factor of safety of soft ground reinforced by the SDCM column has increased from 0.532 to 1.746.
Active online Multiple Prototype Classifier to Support Crisis Management
Authors: Vankipuram Lavanya  , Dr. D. Shobha Rani
Published: February 2024

In times of crisis, social networks have emerged as crucial channels for open communication. The traditional methods employed for analysing social media data in crisis situations have faced criticism due to their mixed results and limited applicability beyond the scope of the initial study. To address these issues, a novel online active multi-prototype classifier, known as AOMPC, has been proposed. AOMPC operates with data streams and incorporates active learning mechanisms to actively request labels for unlabeled and ambiguous data points, managing the number of requests through a fixed budget strategy. Typically, AOMPC is designed to handle partially labelled data streams. To assess its effectiveness, AOMPC was evaluated using two types of data: synthetic data and Twitter data related to two specific crises—the Colorado floods and the Australian wildfires. During the evaluation, established parameters were utilized to gauge the quality of results, and a sensitivity analysis was conducted to understand how AOMPC's parameters impacted result accuracy. Furthermore, a comparative study was carried out to contrast AOMPC with other available e-learning algorithms. The experiments demonstrated AOMPC's capability to perform exceptionally well in processing partially labelled scalable data streams, potentially offering valuable insights during crises.

Authors: Adlina Khairunnisa  , Khairil Anwar Notodiputro  , Bagus Sartono
Published: February 2024

Double Random Forest (DRF) outperforms Random Forest (RF) models, particularly when the RF model is underfitting. DRF generates more diverse and larger trees that significantly improve prediction accuracy. By applying association rule technique, the extracted rules from the DRF model provide an easily understandable interpretation of the characteristics of individuals identified as the working poor in Jakarta. The findings show that DRF performs good predictive performance in classifying poor workers in Jakarta, achieving an AUC value of 79.02%. The extracted rules from this model highlights interactions between education levels, working household member proportion, and job stability that significantly affect the classification of working poor. Specifically, worker with lower education levels, particularly high school or below, show a higher probability of being classified as poor workers. In addition, households with fewer employed members, especially those involving worker in self-employed/employee/freelancer roles, face a greater risk of falling into the poor category due to job instability and limited workforce participation. This implies that the interaction between the low proportion of working household members and low education, the interaction between unstable job position and low proportion of working household members, and the interaction between low education and unstable job position are the most important characteristics of the working poor in Jakarta.

Authors: Prof. Shwetha K S  , Dr. Chandramouli H
Published: February 2024

High performance data analytics is a computing paradigm involving optimal placement of data, analytics and other computational resources such that superior performance is achieved with lesser resource consumption. Resource allocation and scheduling are the two major functionalities to be addressed in Hadoop clusters to satisfy the service level agreements of users for High performance data analytics applications. Though many solutions have been proposed for optimal resource allocation and scheduling, those schemes are designed for large Hadoop files. Recently with Internet of Things (IoT) convergence with big data, there is need to process large volumes of small files whose size is lower than block size of Hadoop. This creates huge storage overhead and exhausts Hadoop clusters computational resources. This survey analyzes the existing works on resource allocation and scheduling in Hadoop clusters and their suitability for small files. The aim is to identify the problems in existing resource allocation and scheduling approaches while handling small files. Based on the problems identified, prospective solution architecture is proposed.

Дана стаття присвячена аналізу транспортних мереж таких європейських країн, як Україна, Угорщина та Румунія. Стаття містить аналіз особливостей організації руху в цих країнах. Досліджувались транспортні системи саме цих країн через те, що під час війни набули особливої актуальності питання взаємодії автомобільних транспортних мереж саме цих країн. Адже на пунктах пропуску із Польщею неймовірно великі черги через страйки польських митників. А, отже, шляхи через Румунію та Угорщину є найбільш реальними як під час експорту товарів з України так і з метою ввезення гуманітарних вантажів. Ефективність інтеграційних процесів під час входження транспортної системи України в європейську транспорту мережу – важливий чинник, що впливає на розвиток економіки країни, відіграє важливу роль під час воєнних дій, сприяє підвищенню культури та освіченості населення, підвищує ефективність праці, а також має велике політичне значення. Одним з основних способів підвищення ефективності роботи автомобільного транспорту України на цьому шляху є адаптація вітчизняних транспортних мереж до транспортних систем сусідніх країн. Сумісне використання інтегрованих систем Європи є необхідною складовою в організації ефективної роботи автомобільного транспорту, адже при цьому забезпечуються підвищення ефективності використання наявного парку транспорту і персоналу; зменшення витрат на технічне обслуговування, паливо, мастильні матеріали за рахунок оптимізації маршрутів і зниження непродуктивного пробігу автотранспорту; зниження потреби в розширенні парку автотранспорту; більш чітке перспективне планування роботи на основі об’єктивної інформації про реальний пробіг кожної одиниці автотранспорту і зниження втрат, пов’язаних з ремонтом і розширення спектра послуг і оперативного реагування на запити. Подальші дослідження доцільно проводити в напрямку адаптації використання технології доповненої реальності в навігаційних системах водія.

У світі, де темпи змін і технологій стрімко прискорюються, навчання є більш важливим і актуальним, ніж будь-коли раніше. Нещодавні зміни в освітньому секторі докорінно змінили парадигму навчання, зокрема дві ключові події: пандемія COVID-19 та початок війни в Україні у 2022 році. Ці виклики вимагають нових та інноваційних рішень у навчальному процесі. Тим часом ситуація в навчальних закладах значно ускладнилася через початок війни в Україні у 2022 році. Ризики для студентів і викладачів, пов'язані з перебуванням в університетських кампусах під час конфлікту, зросли, що порушило важливі питання про те, як проводити і викладати заняття під час війни. Спільним фактором, який відіграв важливу роль у вирішенні цих проблем, стала наявність гаджета, який є у майже кожного: мобільного телефону. Цей пристрій став мостом між студентами та викладачами, дозволяючи проводити лекції та практичні заняття в режимі онлайн навіть тоді, коли фізичний доступ до університету був обмежений. Віртуальні лабораторії стають відповіддю на сучасні виклики у навчанні та надають студентам можливість отримати якісну освіту в умовах обмежень та кризи. Віртуальні лабораторії дозволяють студентам розвивати навички та вдосконалювати свої знання, не виходячи з дому або з безпечного місця. Це інноваційні рішення, які підтримують навчальний процес і сприяють підвищенню якості освіти. Таким чином, віртуальні комп'ютерні лабораторії є необхідним елементом освітнього простору, який може гарантувати навчання та розвиток учнів навіть у найскладніших ситуаціях. У роботі проведено аналіз предметної області, визначено задачі, які потрібно вирішувати при створення віртуальної лабораторії. Також було проаналізовано програмне забезпечення для віддаленого доступу до лабораторії. Описано приклад задач, які доцільно вирішувати в рамках напряму компʼютерної інженерії і наведено загальні риси завдань, для яких доцільно створювати віртуальні лабораторії. У роботі було розроблено структурну схему віртуальної лабораторії, яка є базовою для будь-яких спеціальностей. Також було запропоновано та обґрунтовано вибір апаратної та програмної складової віртуальної лабораторії в межах ВНЗ та у віддалених користувачів, розроблено та описано алгоритм функціонування системи загалом.

В основах багатьох сучасних ком’ютерних систем лежать інтерфейси прикладного програмування, або API (Application Programming Interface). Інтерфейси прикладного програмування слугують мостом між різними елементами комп’ютерних систем, дозволяючи їм спілкуватися, взаємодіяти між собою та безперешкодно обмінюватися даними. Фактично API – набір протоколів, інструментів і визначень, які дозволяють різним програмам інтегруватись між собою, а також надають розробникам можливість отримати доступ до певних програмних функцій або наборів даних. Важливим завданням в процесі розробки API є забезпечення їх коректної роботи в умовах високих навантажень. API можуть мати сотні, тисячі і навіть мільйони користувачів, для яких важливе забезпечення стійкості, масштабованості і надійності цих програмних засобів. Система, не є надійним чином протестована в умовах високих навантажень, може зазнати краху у випадку, якщо велика кількість користувачів захоче водночас використати один і той самий метод API, або отримати схожі дані. Така система також буде менш стійкою від DDoS-атак – видів хакерських атак, що “засмічують” комп’ютерну систему великою кількістю запитів, фактично блокуючи доступ до неї для реальних користувачів. У цій статті представляється дослідження та розробка системи тестування, створеної для оцінки продуктивності API. В основі системи лежить Locust, інструмент для тестування продуктивності програм з відкритим програмним кодом. Цей інструмент призначений для моделювання та аналізу поведінки різноманітних додатків при навантаженні великою кількістю користувачів. Розроблена система тестування продуктивності використовує можливості Locust для того, щоб ретельно вивчити стійкість API-системи у реальному сценарії. Вона детально тестує локальну версію API, навантажуючи її так званим “роєм” віртуальних користувачів. Після цього Locust збирає дані про продуктивність API – кількість успішних та помилкових запитів; мінімальний, максимальний та середній час обробки запиту; а також детальний звіт, який може бути використаний для подальшого аналізу результатів. Отримані в результаті такого дослідження дані сприяють розумінню і, в подальшому, покращенню якості роботи API, пропонуючи цінні рекомендації щодо оптимізації продуктивності програми та виявлення “вузьких місць” (bottlenecks) у програмному коді.
