An improved proxy blind signature scheme based on ECDLP
Authors: Manoj Kumar Chande
Published: May 2023

In a proxy blind signature scheme, there is an integration of the properties as well as advantages of both signature schemes namely proxy signature and blind signature. The concept of this signature scheme with a salient feature that, it allows a designated person say proxy signer to sign on behalf of original signer, in such a way that he/she neither has any idea about the content of the message, nor he/she can make a linkage between the signature and the identity of the requester. Therefore, it is very suitable and easily adoptable for electronic commerce, e-cash applications. Recently, Pradhan and Mohapatra et al.’s claims that their proposed signature scheme satisfies all the properties mandatory for a proxy blind signature scheme. Unfortunately, their scheme fails to fulfil the unlinkability property. To overcome with this weakness, an improved proxy blind signature scheme is presented with the same intractable problem ECDLP. The analysis shows that the new scheme resolves the problem in the former scheme and meets all the aspects of security features needed by proxy blind signature scheme. The analytic results prove that the new scheme is more secure and practicable.

Published: May 2023

A $b$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a variant of proper coloring in which each color class contains a vertex that has a neighbor in all the other color classes. We investigate some results on $b$-coloring in the context of degree splitting graph of $P_n, B_{n, n}, S_n$ and $G_n$.
Asymptotic behavior of solutions to a nonautonomous semilinear evolution equation
Authors: Xiao-Xia Luo  , Yong-Long Wang
Published: May 2023

In this paper, we shall deal with $\mu$-pseudo almost automorphic solutions to the nonautonomous semilinear evolution equations: $u^{\prime}(t)=A(t) u(t)+f(t, u(t-h)), t \in \mathbb{R}$ in a Banach space $\mathbb{X}$, where $A(t), t \in \mathbb{R}$ generates an exponentially stable evolution family $\{U(t, s)\}$ and $f: \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{X} \rightarrow \mathbb{X}$ is a $\mu$-pseudo almost automorphic function satisfying some suitable conditions. We obtain our main results by properties of $\mu$-pseudo almost automorphic functions combined with theories of exponentially stable evolution family.

Extraction of saponins, total soluble solids and antioxidant activity from
Polyscias fruticosa roots
Authors: Chuyen H.V.
Published: May 2023

Polyscias fruticosa is a tropical plant that has been used as medicine and food in Asian
countries for centuries. The roots of Polyscias fruticosa contain a significant amount of
beneficial bioactive compounds including saponins, polyphenols and flavonoids. Although
a few reports on the extraction of bioactive from Polyscias fruticosa roots have been
published, the literature related to the effects of extraction parameters on the recovery of
saponins, the predominant bioactive group in this medicinal plant is limited. In this study,
the effects of ethanol concentration, temperature, extraction time and liquid-solid ratio on
the recovery of total soluble solids (TSS), saponins and antioxidant activity (AA) of
extracts from Polyscias fruticosa roots were investigated. The yield of saponins, TSS and
AA were significantly affected by the extraction conditions. The extraction time of 120
mins resulted in the highest yield of TSS while the extraction time of 90 mins led to the
highest recovery of saponins and AA. Total saponin recovery increased along with the
increase in ethanol concentration and reached a plateau at 40% of ethanol concentration.
In addition, the temperature of 50oC and the liquid-solid ratio of 40/1 (mL/g) were found
to be the most favourable conditions for the extraction. The results of this study were
applicable for the process development on larger scales to produce saponin-rich products
from Polyscias fruticosa roots.

Computed tomographic features of massive pneumoperitoneum in a dog with intestinal lymphoma – a case report
Authors: Lim Sohee , Hwang Yawon , Sohn Sangjune , Cheon Byunggyu , Shin Chi Won , Lee Kichang
Published: May 2023

A 6-year-old intact male Jindo dog was presented for reduced appetite, depression, and tympanic abdominal distension. Abdominal radiographs showed severe pneumoperitoneum and an intestinal mass. Computed tomography revealed massive pneumoperitoneum associated with intestinal perforation, with cervical and thoracoabdominal wall emphysema, pneumomediastinum, pneumoretroperitoneum, pneumoscrotum, and peritonitis. Surgery confirmed a ruptured jejunal mass, and histopathologic evaluation of the excised tissues revealed intestinal lymphoma. Clinicians should therefore consider the possibility of gastrointestinal perforation in patients with severe pneumoperitoneum even where there is no history of trauma. Despite clinical stability, intensive monitoring and urgent decompressive intervention should be performed in patients with severe pneumoperitoneum.

Published: May 2023

The study investigates the interspecies similarities between canine and human mammary cancer in the sense of innovative predictive and prognostic tumour markers. Surgical resection specimens with diagnosed spontaneous primary mammary cancer obtained from 100 female canine patients were included in this study. Expression of carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) enzyme and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression was evaluated immunohistochemically. The study was completed with investigation of Ki67 expression and proliferation with marker of myogenous differentiation. Histopathological grading was performed using the Nottingham/modified Bloom-Richardson system. As in humans, our analysis of canine mammary cancer has shown that CAIX positivity in tumour cells significantly correlates with higher levels of HER2 immunoreactivity (P = 0.001), and increased tumour grade (P < 0.001). The percentage of smooth muscle actin (SMA) positive cases was significantly higher (P = 0.002) in the group of mammary carcinomas with CAIX positivity compared to the tumours that were negative. Using antibody Ki67 proliferative activity was not significantly different between mammary tumours that were CAIX positive and CAIX negative. Canine mammary gland carcinomas may, therefore, represent valuable animal models for the study of hypoxic signaling pathways involved in mammary carcinogenesis in humans. Further research investigating this possibility is required.

Authors: Halačka Karel , Janko Karel , Fedorčák Jakub , Koščo Ján , Vetešník Lukáš
Published: May 2023

The aim of the study was to verify whether the use of heparin as an anticoagulant can affect the results of genome size measurements using a flow cytometer. The values obtained by measuring blood samples with different concentrations of heparin were compared. The differences observed were highly significant, suggesting that the results of previous comparative studies, or those determining individual polyploidy, may need reinterpretation. We anticipate that our findings will increase the accuracy of flow cytometric analysis and will be useful for further surveys of genome size undertaken using blood samples.
Boar taint through the eyes of genetics: A comparison of the Czech indigenous pig breed and commercial breeds in four gene polymorphisms related to skatole and androstenone levels
Authors: Falk Lenka , Vrtková Irena , Bartoňová Petra
Published: May 2023

The problem of boar taint has recently become a frequent topic due to the ban on surgical castration of piglets without anaesthesia. Genetic selection based on markers that affect the molecular synthesis and degradation of the two main compounds of boar taint - androstenone and skatole - appears to be one of the possibilities. Many genes and their expression profiles associated with androstenone and skatole levels are known, and studies usually analyse them in hybrids. Our study focused on pure pig breeds and their comparison in the genotypes of the CYP2E1, TEAD3, HSD3B, and CYB5A genes. We examined four common commercial breeds (Large White, Landrace, Pietrain, Duroc) and compared them with the original Czech autochthonous Přeštice Black Pied breed, which is also classified as a gene source, with the breed being highlighted for its meat quality. Our research shows that there are differences between purebred individuals. Due to breeding programs, genotyping of breeding boars and sows is not only possible but also relevant.
The effects of increasing levels of dietary sodium bentonite on performance, carcass indices, blood chemistry and meat quality in Japanese quails
Authors: Gümüş Erinç
Published: May 2023

This study was conducted to determine the effect of the inclusion of sodium bentonite (SB) in Japanese quails’ diet on performance, carcass traits, blood biochemical status, and meat quality traits. A total of 120 seven-day-old Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) were randomly divided into four groups, with each group containing five replicates, six birds each. SB was mixed with the diet at four concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0%). Performance indicators were determined for an experimental period of six weeks. At the end of the experiment, 2 quails from each replicate were slaughtered and carcass traits were measured. The blood serum biochemical values, antioxidant status, and meat quality indicators were determined from blood and breast meat samples. The results showed that SB supplementation significantly improved the feed conversion ratio (FCR) in the 2–7 week period, the relative weight of the proventriculus, glucose and total cholesterol (TC) and a* (redness) colour traits in meat. Moreover, the total oxidant status (TOS) in blood serum and malondialdehyde (MDA) values were decreased with SB addition to Japanese quails’ diet. Hence, dietary SB supplementation could be used to improve the performance and antioxidant status in Japanese quails.

Published: May 2023

With the advent of digital technologies (i.e., social media), tourism has evolved its marketing strategies. Even though published literature discusses the importance of tourism content on social media from various consumer perspectives, much more work must be done to examine how consumers make travel decisions based on tourism content. This study proposes a model for analyzing travel intent based on consumer motivations (e.g., novelty, entertainment, and relaxation) to watch social media travel videos. Consumers' travel intentions are influenced by trust and parasocial relationships. Through an online survey, 215 responses were collected and analyzed using a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach using Smart-PLS 3.0 and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). In the study, relaxation ranked most highly among the three motivations for viewers to watch travel videos on YouTube for building parasocial relationships. In contrast, consumers seeking entertainment are more likely to form trust, which will result in consumers' intentions to travel. Based on intermediate solutions generated by the fsQCA, two causal configurations can be used to explain consumer travel decisions influenced by social media tourism content. The study also discusses theoretical and practical guidelines in depth. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-015 Full Text: PDF

Published: May 2023

This analysis aims to empirically investigate the impact of different forms of Fintech on the financial performance of banks in Kosovo from 2010 to 2021. The research is based on secondary data, accounting for 48 observations at quarterly frequencies. The model treats bank performance (i.e., net profits of the bank sector) as an endogenous variable of ATMs, POS, and e-payments. The methodology applied in the research is based on the OLS technique and diagnostic tests for evaluating the normality of distribution, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, specification error, and heteroscedasticity. Results show that the variability of ATMs and e-payments determines bank performance variability. In particular, e-payments show a significant positive impact on bank profitability, whereas ATM payments display a negative impact on bank profitability. In addition, an increase in ATM payments by 1% decreases bank profitability by 0.367%. While an increase in e-payments by 1% increases bank profitability by 0.11%. The POS payments were found to have no significant relationship with bank profitability. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-016 Full Text: PDF

Published: May 2023

Biodiesel production using novel glycerol and potassium carbonate-based catalysts has not been developed under the Taguchi technique. This study aims to determine the most influential parameter in biodiesel production from refined bleach-deodorized palm oil (RBDPO) using DES K2CO3-Glycerol as the novel catalyst. The raw material was subjected to transesterification at the desired reaction parameters estimated by the orthogonal 16-run (L16) approach with 2 levels and 4 factors of the Taguchi technique. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and ANOVA were used to confirm the predicted value. From the results, the catalyst is the most influential variable in the TG value of biodiesel, placed in the first rank of the influence factor. Biodiesel production with a minimum total glycerol value (0.210%) using DES K2CO3-Glycerol as a catalyst is most optimally produced at 95 °C for 4 h and 400 rpm using 30 wt% methanol and 4 wt% catalysts achieved by the Taguchi technique. The biodiesel obtained from RBDPO complies with the required international standards. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-018 Full Text: PDF

DIREITOS CULTURAIS E O LIVRE ACESSO À CULTURA NO CONTEXTO PANDÉMICO EM PORTUGAL CONTINENTAL E NA REGIÃO AUTÓNOMA DA MADEIRA
Authors: Campanella Sancha , Goes Diogo , Carvalho Andreia
Published: May 2023

De acordo com a Constituição da República Portuguesa, cabe ao Estado garantir o acesso de todos os cidadãos à fruição e criação cultural. Contudo, com a aplicação das medidas de contenção da pandemia da Covid-19, o sector cultural tornou-se vulnerável. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar de que forma o impacto da pandemia afetou a efetivação dos direitos culturais dos cidadãos nacionais. Esta investigação realiza uma análise comparada entre a realidade cultural nacional e a Região Autónoma da Madeira, considerando dados de visitantes nos museus e espectadores nos cinemas no período 2010-2020, refletindo já o impacto da pandemia em 2020. Numa primeira fase, procedeu-se à revisão bibliográfica da literatura científica. Para obter uma compreensão mais abrangente do sector cultural, este estudo debruçou-se sobre os dados estatísticos do Instituto Nacional de Estatística (2021) e da Direção Regional de Estatística - RAM (2021). Os resultados permitem verificar a diminuição da oferta cultural e do número de visitantes/espectadores dos espaços culturais. Este estudo propõe às organizações culturais a adoção de estratégias de comunicação e atuação na comunidade, de forma a promoverem a inclusão de diferentes públicos e manterem, assim, a sua atratividade e competitividade num contexto pós-pandémico.

Published: May 2023

Non-Euclidean geometry is an abstract subject and difficult to learn, but mandatory for students. The ethnomathematics approach as a learning approach to improve students’ spatial abilities. The aim of this research is to discover new elements of the spatial abilities of non-Euclidean geometry; determine the relationship between spatial abilities for Euclid, Lobachevsky, and Riemann geometry. This study used the micro genetic method with a 2×2 factorial experimental research design. The sample of this research is 100 students of mathematics education. There are three valid and reliable research instruments through expert trials and field trials. Data collection was carried out in two ways, namely tests and observations. Quantitative data were analyzed through ANCOVA, and observational data were analyzed through the percentage of implementation of the learning trajectory stages. The result is that the spatial ability of students who are given the ethnomathematics learning approach is higher than students who are given the conventional learning approach for Lobachevsky geometry material after controlling for the effect of Euclidean geometry spatial ability. Also, the same thing happened for the spatial abilities of Riemann geometry students. The learning trajectory is conveying learning objectives (learning objective); providing ethnomathematics-based visual problems; students do exploration; students make conclusions and summaries of exploration results; and ends with students sharing conclusions/summaries about concepts and principles in geometric systems. It was concluded that learning non-Euclid geometry through learning paths with an ethnomathematics approach had a positive impact on increasing students’ spatial abilities.
álbum de guerra de Flávio de Barros
Authors: Sebastien Rozeaux
Published: May 2023

A partir da análise cruzada de algumas fotografias do álbum Canudos de Flávio de Barros e da informação biográfica sobre o "fotógrafo expedicionário", é possível compreender como estas imagens de propaganda de guerra se tornaram fontes históricas de valor etnográfico no século XX, quando foram incluídas na primeira edição de Os Sertões, em 1902, e ainda mais a partir da década de 1980, quando essas imagens têm sido utilizadas por historiadores e empresários de memória que, em Canudos, intentam reabilitar a experiência de vida comunitária que foi Belo Monte.

Ensino de inglês no Brasil sob uma perspectiva antirracista
Authors: Santos Filho Agnaldo Pedro , Pereira Marieli de Jesus
Published: May 2023

A educação formal no Brasil foi estabelecida de modo a favorecer determinados grupos sociais em detrimento de outros, fomentando a desigualdade social a partir do racismo desde o período do Brasil Colônia. Assim, mesmo após a promulgação da primeira Constituição Brasileira, pessoas pretas, pardas e indígenas passam por diferentes processos de exclusão e invisibilização das suas crenças, costumes e línguas, inclusive no ambiente escolar que reproduz padrões socialmente construídos pelas culturas dominantes. Ao se pensar o ensino de língua inglesa no Brasil, as marcas do colonialismo e da colonialidade estão presentes nas aulas e nos materiais didáticos que reforçam estereótipos e preconceitos através da supervalorização da cultura, de padrões estéticos e variantes linguísticas euro-anglocêntricas. O presente artigo propõe discutir o ensino de língua inglesa sob uma perspectiva antirracista e decolonial. Neste sentido, apresentamos alguns fatos históricos sobre o racismo na educação brasileira, bem como evidências do racismo na educação contemporânea e, por fim, discutimos possibilidades para a desconstrução de estruturas racistas no ensino de língua inglesa. Para embasar nossa pesquisa, contamos com a contribuição de autores como Césaire (2020), Ferreira (2017), hooks (2018), Nascimento (2019), et alia.

Imagens do sertão
Authors: Costa Edil Silva
Published: May 2023

A partir das cenas visualizadas na III Feira Literária de Canudos em 2022, quando jovens leitores foram atraídos pelas atividades oferecidas, formulou-se a questão: como seduzir os jovens leitores, proporcionando prazer na leitura do objeto-livro, em um mundo onde imperam o audiovisual e a interatividade? A partir desse cenário, faz-se uma leitura das capas de obras do escritor sergipano Paulo Dantas (1922-2007), autor de O Capitão Jagunço (1987), Menino Jagunço (1986) e Purgatório (1971), que tematizam a Guerra de Canudos. Serão recortadas imagens do sertão, destacando a arte gráfica das capas de diversas edições, assim como o diálogo da literatura com o cinema e a literatura de cordel, perseguindo as imagens mais marcantes do sertão e do sertanejo, de modo a perceber os estereótipos produzidos e reforçados ao longo do tempo e de que modo influenciam as leituras.

labirinto dos Sertões
Authors: Hardman Francisco Foot
Published: May 2023

Trata-se de voltar, ainda uma vez, a Canudos como marco histórico, literário, sociocultural e ambiental de uma nacionalidade perdida. Por que essa permanência a desafiar a imagem de um “país sem memória”? A atualidade dos sertões nossos de cada dia está aqui e agora a nos interrogar. Eles são tão contemporâneos quanto qualquer cenário que as cidades se apressam a representar. Entre o sol, o luar e as revoluções.

Literatura e linguística
Authors: Santos Osmar Moreira dos
Published: May 2023

Trata-se de uma investigação sobre as contribuições do campo linguístico-literário para se ampliar e consolidar a noção de ciência aberta e suas práticas transdisciplinares, destacando o papel da crítica cultural, engendrada com os recursos epistemológicos do próprio campo, mas com a função de problematizar e anular a dicotomia estruturante entre estudos linguísticos e estudos literários, bem como, de mapear as viradas linguístico-literárias em outros domínios do conhecimento, e como resultados relevantes, entre eles, a criação de uma encruzilhada ou zona de fronteiras dos saberes a favor da emancipação de sujeitos e povos despejados de sua língua, cultura, territórios e do trabalho do si, contra saberes e poderes opressores e excluentes.

Jesus militante
Authors: Rocha Adilma Nunes , Assis Otavio de Jesus
Published: May 2023

Quem se propuser a aventura de ler Jesus militante: Evangelho e projeto político do Reino de Deus, de Frei Betto, começando pela orelha do livro, vai deparar com a seguinte declaração do autor: “Escrevi Jesus militante a partir das minhas convicções sobre a missão do Filho do Homem”. Esta frase já nos remete ao que Frei Betto talvez faça de melhor, ou seja, traduzir e interpretar as coisas do nosso tempo, cotejando-as com as de outros tempos, como aquele em que Jesus Cristo viveu. É sempre uma leitura instigante, motivadora e fundamentalmente crítica, daí porque não é impróprio falar em aventura. Ele afirma, no final da orelha, esperar que o livro possa suscitar nos leitores e leitoras a esperança e o vigor, como do Jesus militante. Isso corrobora o que afirmamos...

Published: May 2023

Polyculture farming is an agricultural practice of growing several types of crops on the same land.The sustainability of polyculture farming is influenced by the presence of insects, both ecologically beneficial and detrimental. In agricultural ecology, insects have an important role as pollinators, predators, and pests that significantly affect the health of agricultural crops, including in polyculture farms. As an effort for sustainable polyculture management, especially in pest control, an exploratory study with mixed methods was conducted to determine the diversity, distribution, and categories of insects based on their ecological roles. This study was conducted in an agricultural area with a polyculture system in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. A total of 12 insect species were identified from polyculture farms belonging to the orders Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera, and Hymenoptera. The diversity of insects found in polyculture farming in this study was categorized into low diversity with a Shannon-Wiener index (H') of 2.186. Hemiptera is known to be the most abundant with 7 species identified. Based on the number of individuals, Componotus japonicus is the most abundant species with 9 individuals. The structure of the insect community based on their ecological role in polyculture farming consisted of 58.33% insect pests, 33.33% predatory insects, and 8.33% pollinating insects.
Proximate and antioxidant analysis of steamed cake made from flour of green bean sprout (Vigna radiata) and ambon banana peel (Musa paradisiaca var. sapientum (L.) Kunt.) as main ingredients
Authors: Ulmillah Aulia , Hardiyanti Ninda , Kuswanto Eko
Published: May 2023

Steamed cake is a type of cake that is enjoyed by all ages, both children and adults. This cake is usually made from wheat flour. Wheat flour causes dough to rise due to the gluten content. The use of excessive flour can be harmful to health. One alternative effort to replace wheat flour is to combine green bean sprout flour and Ambon banana peel flour. This study aims to determine the antioxidant level, the protein, fat, water, ash, and carbohydrate levels in steamed cakes made from green bean sprout flour and Ambon banana peel flour. This type of research is experimental. Antioxidants were analyzed using the DPPH method, protein was analyzed using the Kjeldahl method, and fat was analyzed using the Soxhlet method. The research results showed that the antioxidant activity in green bean sprout flour was 360.30 ppm which was classified as very weak, banana peel flour was 165.58 ppm which was classified as weak. The highest protein content was in sample T0 at 7.01%, the highest fat content was in sample T0 at 0.77%, the highest water content was in sample T2 at 43.95%, the highest ash content was in sample T3 at 1.15%, and the highest carbohydrate content was in sample T0 at 53.44%.
