The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Employment and Income Distribution
Authors: Liang Yihang
Published: April 2024

This study delves into the extensive ramifications of AI's proliferation on employment and income distribution, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, by examining job displacement, the emergence of new roles, and the widening income gap between high and low-income groups. The integration of AI into industries has had a significant impact on employment. It has led to the automation of routine and repetitive tasks, resulting in job displacement, especially in the manufacturing and administrative sectors. However, this phenomenon is not solely marked by job loss. AI has also brought about job transformation, necessitating individuals to acquire new skill sets and collaborate effectively with AI systems. This transformation has paved the way for new employment opportunities, particularly in AI engineering, data science, AI regulation, and the development of AI-driven technologies like self-driving vehicles. These changes underscore the need for adaptability in the workforce and have potential implications for income distribution, as high-skilled AI-related positions offer higher salaries, contributing to income inequality. The proliferation of AI has brought about both challenges and opportunities in employment and income distribution, with job displacement coexisting alongside the emergence of new roles. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the need for workforce adaptability, emphasizing the importance of addressing income inequality as we move into an AI-dominated era to foster a more equitable future.

Published: April 2024

In order to counteract the spread of false information, this study explores the use of machine learning techniques, particularly decision tree classifiers and TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency). Using a dataset of tagged news items, the model is trained to identify patterns that differentiate reliable content from unreliable information.A survey's analysis reveals a worrying trend: fake news has been more common from 2017 to 2018, growing gradually before experiencing a noticeable spike in 2019. But applying current models in 2020 has resulted in a slowdown in the spread of false information.A well-liked machine learning approach called the decision tree classifier provides interpretability by showing decisions as a tree structure. This helps to clarify how the model determines which news is real and which is phony by identifying important characteristics that contribute to the categorization process.In contrast, TF-IDF plays a crucial role in natural language processing tasks by assigning weights to terms according to their significance within a corpus of documents. Through the integration of TF-IDF, the model is able to better identify misinformation by capturing the meaning of words in news stories.All things considered, this study offers a viable strategy to deal with the growing problem of false news by using machine learning techniques and conducting an empirical examination of its effects over time Keywords – Include at least 4 keywords or phrases, must be separated by commas to distinguish them.

ASSESSMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORKS IN INDIAN STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES
Authors: Gupta Deepali
Published: April 2024

SOEs are a crucial part of India's economic landscape, playing a vital role in various sectors. The governance frameworks within these entities are multifaceted, encompassing legislative provisions, regulatory directives, and oversight mechanisms. The Companies Act of 2013 lays down foundational principles, supplemented by guidelines from regulatory bodies like SEBI and DPE. Compliance with these frameworks is crucial for ensuring transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct within SOEs. However, Indian SOEs face challenges such as government interference in board decisions, lack of board autonomy, non-compliance with regulatory requirements, and the need to balance diverse stakeholder interests. These challenges often stem from the unique ownership structures of SOEs and their role in serving broader public policy objectives. Addressing these governance deficits requires concerted efforts from stakeholders, including the government, regulatory bodies, boards of directors, and management teams. Enhancing board independence, ensuring compliance with regulatory norms, and promoting transparency and accountability are essential steps towards strengthening corporate governance in Indian SOEs.

Published: April 2024

All aspects of community life, whether political, social, cultural, or economic, are regulated by law. Therefore, the existence of this law is universal. Development and reform give rise to social changes that give rise to social problems, which puts pressure on the law because the law must be able to overcome these problems. The aim of this research is to analyze social changes in the development of law in Indonesia. This research uses a statutory approach, also called a statutory approach. The results of this research show that law and social change have a close interaction in the context of social change. Both have an impact on each other. Changes in law are influenced by changes in society, and vice versa. Social transformation in society is influenced by legal changes as well. Based on the analysis that has been carried out, social changes in the development of law in Indonesia are: 1) Law Number 11 of 2008 was born, which regulates electronic information and transactions. Law plays two important roles in social change: law as a tool of social control and a technique of social engineering; 2) institutions have an important role in society; the existence of Rukun Warga (RW) and Rukun Tetangga (RT) officials as well as Village Government institutions is also crucial. The role of the village government and RT-RW can be utilized to empower the community effectively in carrying out prevention. 3) Providing legal understanding refers to awareness of the rules established by written law for behavior, namely what the community can and cannot do.
The New Face of Waste Colonialism: A Review of Legal Regulations Governing the Import of Waste into India
Authors: Sridhar Lekha , Kumar Parul
Published: April 2024

The term ""waste colonialism"" was coined by activists in the late 1980s to describe the practice of developed nations dumping toxic wastes in developing and low-income countries, despite the fact that these countries had no technological or regulatory means to deal with the waste. Today, the toxic waste trade has been replaced by large volumes of post-consumer plastic, paper and e-waste trade. Countries like Japan, United States of America, and the United Kingdom have become world leaders of plastic waste export. Till 2017, China was by far the world leader in waste import, till the country banned most types of waste causing exports to other developing countries (including India) to rise dramatically. However, India's capacity to safely recycle this imported waste remains in doubt. A large part of the waste management chain is managed through informal workers and enterprises (who have no labour protection or social security), especially at the collection and segregation stage. Further, about 40 per cent of domestic waste goes uncollected due to poorly implemented laws. Of this, 56 per cent of recyclable wastes generated, and only 5 per cent of India's total e-waste gets recycled. By analyzing domestic and international regulations on waste trade, we seek to demonstrate that the new forms of waste trade echo the exploitation of developing countries from the '80s, and have caused the need for one, stronger international regulations so as to prevent exploitation of low-income countries, and two, the urgent need for wider implementation of segregation and collection policies to support domestic import bans.

Authors: Paul Pranjit Kr , Jana Sebak Kumar
Published: April 2024

Undernutrition represents a distressing health issue among children in developing countries. It has been recognized as a significant factor contributing to child mortality worldwide, with approximately half of child deaths attributed to it. Despite India initiating the largest number of anti-malnutrition programs and boasting one of the fastest-growing economies globally, the situation regarding child malnutrition remains dire compared to other developing nations. Thus, utilizing data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) fifth and fourth rounds, this study aims to evaluate the nutritional status of children under 5 in Assam and West Bengal. The findings of the study reveal that West Bengal slightly outperforms Assam across all nutritional indicators. The prevalence rates of stunting (height-for-age), wasting (weight-for-height), and underweight (weight-for-age) are higher in both states, with noticeable increases over time as evidenced by various NFHS rounds. Furthermore, significant regional disparities exist within both states. While Assam exhibits significant results for wasting and underweight, West Bengal only displays significance for underweight. Despite robust economic growth in both states, they lag behind the Indian average concerning child nutrition.

Published: April 2024

Terminal thermal stress, occurring under varying climatic conditions, significantly reduces wheat yield by affecting fertilization and grain filling processes. Wheat crop damage from terminal heat stress may be lessened by the use of biostimulants. The purpose of this study is to apply fulvic acid topically to wheat in order to reduce the effects of heat stress. Wheat crops were subjected to high temperature stress during booting and initial stages of grain in in-vivo, with heat stress applied in staggered intervals in the main plot. Different concentrations of fulvic acid (water spray, 1.25 mg L-1, 2.50 mg L-1, and 3.75 mg L-1) were applied under natural and heat stress conditions during the booting and initial stages of grain of wheat. Heat stress during booting and grain filling phases notably decreased chlorophyll content, growth related parameters and productive tillers. The impact was more significant during the booting stage compared to the filling stage of grain. Application of fulvic acid at concentrations of 3.75 mg L-1 and 2.50 mg L-1 during heat stress at booting and grain filling stages substantially increased chlorophyll content and growth related parameters compared to water spray and 1.25 mg L-1 fulvic acid. These findings imply that fulvic acid applied directly to wheat under heat stress causes thermotolerance, which has a beneficial impact on biochemical and physiological processes.

Persimmon is one of the major fruit crops in Pakistan. Fruit rot of persimmon is a continuing threat to growers and is accountable for enormous economic loss. The investigations were done on persimmon fruit that were collected from local markets of Lahore. Diseased persimmon fruits were isolated and identified on the basis of cultural and morphological characteristics. On PDA, the cultivated isolates continuously produced dark brown to black colonies. Conidia had a small, conical beak with both transverse and longitudinal septa, and they were olivaceous to dark brown in color. Conidiophores were either branched or unbranched, short, septate, hyaline to olivaceous brown. Frequency of isolated fungi was calculated. The maximum percentage of A. alternata (61.00 %) was recorded followed by C. gloeosporioides (14.30 %) and B. theobromae (10.70 %). The least isolated pathogen was R. stolonifer (6.00 %) with a mean value of 5.00%. Evaluation of various plant extracts, such as (Cascabela thevetia, Euphorbia milii, Moringa oleifera, Plumeria rubra, Quisqualis indica, Syzygium aromaticum) was performed with Agar Well Diffusion Technique through CRD design The findings showed that with medicinal plants that were extracted with methanol and ethanol, Moringa oleifera and Syzygium aromaticum showed significant results at higher concentrations and showed maximum zone of inhibition while Cascabela thevetia was least effective against S. sclerotiorum.

Coronavirus may be a large group of viruses and recently identified coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 was first detected in Wuhan City, China. After that it spread rapidly to other countries. Some studies show positive, and few others exhibit negative relationship between COVID-19 and sunlight. There is controversy about its intermediate host. Snake, turtles, and pangolins are considered the intermediate hosts, however bat is regarded as the primary host. It belongs to Nidovirales order, family is Coronaviridae, and subfamily is Coronavirinae. The transmission may occur through various ways. The structure of COVID-19 is enveloped and spherical with a positive single strand. Various accessory, structural, and non-structural proteins are present in it. Life cycle involves attachment, entry, replication, translation, assembly, and then its release. B.1.1.7, B.1.351, p.1, and b.1.617 are a few important variants of SARS-CoV-2. An increase of cholesterol level supports the entry of SARS-CoV-2. Statins with lower cholesterol level lessens COVID-19 entry. Fever, cough, fatigue, headache, sputum production, diarrhea, dysphonia, etc. are common symptoms of COVID-19. RT-PCR, RT-LAMP, CT scan, antibodies and antigen are various tests for COVID-19 detection. Various drugs and convalescent plasma are used for its treatment. People are also now vaccinated, and these vaccines also have side effects like fever, fatigue, headache etc. Preventive measures must be carried out to prevent its spread.

Published: April 2024

A reconstrução imediata da mama consiste na associação de técnicas para restabelecimento da forma mamária no mesmo tempo cirúrgico da ressecção tumoral. Ela diminui as sequelas físicas e psicológicas que a mastectomia isolada causa em um primeiro momento e permite maior integração, tanto da paciente com o seu tratamento, quanto entre os membros da equipe médica assistente. A discussão das técnicas cirúrgicas a serem empregadas pela mastologia e pela cirurgia plástica, nessa abordagem conjunta, é de extrema importância para o resultado final e tem consequências significativas na aceitação das pacientes em todo o processo.  Os casos clínicos apresentados ressaltam que a avaliação conjunta, desde o pré-operatório, é determinante para um melhor resultado, estético, funcional e psicológico. São detalhados aspectos técnicos que influenciam na decisão do tipo de reconstrução a ser feita. Sobretudo, substitui-se a angústia de mutilação pela expectativa de um tratamento para retirar a lesão e deixar um bom resultado estético que, em alguns casos, é até melhor do que havia anteriormente.

Published: April 2024

O presente artigo investiga criticamente a tensão entre o direito de coerção estatal na política de drogas brasileira e o risco de abusos que inadvertidamente protegem o crime organizado. A abordagem proibicionista historicamente adotada, que criminaliza a produção, comércio e consumo de entorpecentes, é questionada devido a violações de direitos e efeitos contraproducentes. O objetivo é analisar as falhas éticas, legais e pragmáticas desta política através de uma análise qualitativa do arcabouço jurídico, políticas públicas e estudos sobre impactos socioeconômicos e sanitários. A metodologia empregada consiste em revisão documental e bibliográfica sobre o tema. Os resultados indicam que o proibicionismo falhou em conter o narcotráfico e uso de drogas, contribuindo para encarceramento massivo de jovens negros e pobres, fortalecimento de facções criminosas e negligência de políticas de redução de danos. Conclui-se que é imperativo para o Brasil reformular seu paradigma pautado em direitos humanos e saúde coletiva, promovendo descriminalização do consumo, regulação de substâncias, prevenção e reinserção social, delimitando precisamente o direito legítimo de coerção estatal com devidos controles democráticos contra abusos.

A hérnia é geralmente composta por um anel herniário, um saco herniário, e conteúdo hernidado. Tem como definição, qualquer defeito de espessura total ou fraqueza de uma parede corporal capaz de permitir a protrusão do seu conteúdo. A palavra hérnia vem do latim e significa ruptura. É caracterizada por uma protrusão fora do comum de um tecido ou um órgão através de defeito da parede abdominal. Esses defeitos normalmente são derivados de traumas, desbridamento, queimaduras, entre outros. As ocorrências de reparos de hérnias abdominais são bem frequentes na rotina cirúrgica. Esse reparo trata-se de retornar o conteúdo viável para sua cavidade, ter a segurança de ocluir as bordas musculares, extinguir o tecido do saco herniário e usar os próprios tecidos do paciente para o fechamento, quando possível. Em alguns casos não é possível utilizar o mesmo tecido do paciente para correção, necessitando a colocação de um biomaterial, podendo ser ele de materiais sintéticos inabsorvíveis, absorvíveis ou biológicos. Este estudo teve como objetivo relatar um caso de uma cadela, sem raça definida, por volta de 10 anos de idade, que apresentava aumento de volume em região abdominal. A lesão foi diagnosticada como hérnia abdominal e a mesma foi reparada cirurgicamente com uso da tela de polipropileno. A tela foi recortada na largura do defeito e suturada na fáscia do músculo reto abdominal. Após a cirurgia, o animal ficou em observação por 24 horas e foi liberado. Após 7 dias, a paciente apresentou formação de seroma e uma parte da ferida cirúrgica não cicatrizou, e nesse ponto ocorria a drenagem de líquido inflamatório. Esta situação permaneceu por 10 dias aproximadamente, cessando em seguida a drenagem do líquido. A ferida cicatrizou por completo em torno de 30 dias após a data da cirurgia e, nesse caso em específico, o uso da tela de polipropileno evoluiu bem, sem uma intercorrência grave e foi um ótimo dispositivo para reparo da hérnia abdominal.
Ensino bilingue na aprendizagem da leitura nas classes iniciais do ensino primário
Authors: João Alfredo da Silva Matias , Angst Felipe André
Published: April 2024

Moçambique é um país multilingue e multicultural Bantu. O português é a língua oficial e de ensino, facto que condiciona aprendizagem da leitura e escrita e motivou o governo a introduzir o ensino bilingue a partir de 2002. Dada a esta situação se levanta a seguinte questão: que influência o Ensino Bilingue tem na aprendizagem da leitura nas classes iniciais do Ensino Primário? Para responder a questão, baseou-se nos seguintes objectivos específicos: caracterizar o Ensino Bilingue; descrever os critérios de implementação do Ensino Bilingue em Moçambique, e identificar os factores que influenciam na aprendizagem da leitura através do Ensino Bilingue. Da revisão literária, constatou-se que por um lado o ensino bilingue influencia positivamente na aprendizagem da leitura, através da maior frequência na lecionação em língua materna; uso da língua materna pelo professor durante o ensino; e, a formação do professor em matéria de ensino bilingue. Por outro lado, influencia negativamente devido a incredibilidade do ensino bilingue; a incapacidade dos gestores do ensino na promoção do ensino bilingue; e, o extremismo caracterizado pelo desprezo da língua materna em detrimento da língua oficial. Com efeito, recomenda-se a necessidade da valorização de todas línguas envolvidas no Processo de Ensino e Aprendizagem; Objectividade na planificação do ensino bilingue; a formação de professores em matéria do ensino bilingue; e a consciencialização da comunidade sobre a importância do Ensino bilingue nas escolas.
A GUERRA FRIA INTERAMERICANA: A PARTICIPAÇÃO DA DITADURA MILITAR BRASILEIRA NO GOLPE CONTRA SALVADOR ALLENDE
Authors: Crivelaro Neto Deolindo
Published: April 2024

Este artigo tem por finalidade abordar a relação do Brasil com o Chile durante o governo Salvador Allende e Augusto Pinochet, passando pelo golpe militar que acabou com a chamada “via chilena para o socialismo”.  Inicialmente, pretende-se afastar a ideia de neutralidade do Brasil em relação aos demais países sul-americanos. Para tanto, com fundamento em documentos oficiais, busca-se comprovar que o Brasil atuou de forma direta em países da América da Sul, objetivando combater o suposto avanço do comunismo no continente. Já especificamente em relação ao Chile, busca-se discorrer no artigo sobre a influência do governo brasileiro no golpe sofrido por Salvador Allende em 11 de setembro de 1973. Segundo SIMON, o governo brasileiro teria duas motivações para apoiar o golpe em face do governo de Salvador Allende. A primeira seria uma motivação geopolítica, no sentido de evitar a instalação de um regime socialista na América do Sul. A segunda motivação seria de ordem doméstica, já que a maioria dos exilados políticos brasileiros se encontravam em território chileno. Nesse sentido, por meio de documentos oficiais relatados no artigo, comprova-se o apoio brasileiro e americano à elite e ao exército chileno para concretização do golpe em face de Salvador Allende. Além disso, de forma ainda mais explícita, é demonstrado no artigo o apoio do governo brasileiro à junta militar chilena após a deposição de Salvador Allende, tendo em vista o envio de itens para o atendimento de necessidades básicas (soro, remédio, bolsa de sangue, alimentos, etc.), material bélico, concessão de linha de crédito, transferência de recursos financeiros, bem como pelo fato do Brasil ter sido o primeiro país à reconhecer os golpistas como o governo chileno legítimo Por fim, o artigo traz indícios da partição do governo brasileiro em atos de violação aos direitos humanos em território chileno.

O presente estudo buscou apresentar e descrever a estrutura e as regras que governam a formação desses sinais variantes, respaldando-se em referências como as obras de Quadros e Karnopp (2004) e comparando com registros de Capovilla (2019). Adicionalmente, obras de Xavier e Barbosa (2014), bem como de Rodero-Takahira (2012, 2015, 2020) foram utilizadas para aprofundar a análise sobre compostos e morfologia. A metodologia adotada fundamentou-se no princípio de pesquisa em línguas proposto por Paiva (2019), Cervo e Bervian (2002), e envolveu a realização de entrevistas semidirigidas, conversas ambientadas e inputs imagéticos documentados em filmagens com 12 colaboradores surdos jovens, em um ambiente controlado, seguindo um roteiro preestabelecido que utilizava aspectos da linguística sociovariacionista cunhada por Labov (2008) e Calvet (2002). Permitiu-se a identificação de variantes tanto no contexto fonológico e morfológico distintos utilizados na região de Macapá, que foram nomeados como “sinalização Tucuju”, destacando a riqueza e a diversidade regional na Libras. Conclui-se que existe um vasto campo inexplorado para a pesquisa no domínio morfológico de Libras, principalmente em relação às variantes regionais. Ressalta-se a necessidade de conduzir pesquisas com enfoque variacionista sociolinguístico, visando uma compreensão mais profunda das variáveis sociais, que influenciam a formação e o uso dos sinais em comunidades surdas. Tal iniciativa não apenas enriqueceria o campo de estudos de Libras, mas também facilitaria a documentação e preservação de variantes regionais distintas, valorizando a riqueza e diversidade do patrimônio linguístico brasileiro.

Deployment of marker-assisted selection (MAS) in the molecular breeding programmes has transformed the crop breeding over the last decade, bringing speed and precision to the breeding programmes. The experiment was conducted during rainy (kharif) seasons of 2019, 2020, and 2021 at ICAR-Indian Institute of Rice Research, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, Telangana for validation of the Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP) SNP markers for routine marker- assisted selection through genotyping and phenotyping of a set of breeding lines segregating for grain number, yield and resistance to bacterial blight and blast diseases. Initially, 150 introgression lines of Swarna possessing bacterial leaf blight (Xa21), blast (Pi54) and yield enhancing gene (Gn1a) at ICF4 generation were genotyped using trait specific KASP markers, and a set of 22 plants was identified to be homozygous for all the three genes, 68 plants were found positive for two genes possessing either Xa21 + Gn1a and Pi54 + Gn1a, rest were having different single gene. Simultaneously, plants which were triple gene positives were also subjected for stringent phenotypic screening for the targeted stresses, viz. bacterial blight and blast disease resistance and further evaluated for grain number and other key agronomic traits. All the three-gene positive plants exhibited high level of resistance to bacterial blight and blast diseases in comparison with positive checks and displayed higher grain number and yield than the recurrent parent, Swarna. The efficiency of SNP marker system provided by Intertek is accurate, cost effective and accurate with phenotype.

We present partial genome sequences of 50 salamander species (Urodela) from 10 genera and 4 families. These span nearly the entire range of genome sizes in salamanders, from ~14–130GB, the latter of which is among the largest of all animal genomes. Only three salamander genomes were available to this point, from Ambystomatidae (one species) and Salamandridae (two species from two genera), to which we have added Amphiumidae (one species), Plethodontidae (45 species from 6 genera), Proteidae (one species), and Sirenidae (three species from two genera). These span ~140 million years of evolutionary divergence, leaving only Cryptobranchidae, Hynobiidae, and Rhyacotritonidae as salamander families without genome assemblies. These data should facilitate additional future work on speciation and genome evolution, both within Urodela and across Animalia.

O futebol society é um esporte complexo, que exige do praticante o desenvolvimento de várias capacidades físicas e motoras, necessitando a aquisição de uma boa aptidão física. Existem duas abordagens para se avaliar a aptidão: uma é relacionada à saúde e a outra, ao desempenho motor. A aptidão física ligada ao desempenho motor está relacionada aos atributos necessários para melhorar a execução das atividades físicas. Diante da importância de se avaliar a aptidão física, o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a aptidão física relacionada ao desempenho motor de adolescentes praticantes de futebol society. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo descritivo de corte transversal, com adolescentes do sexo masculino de 12 a 16 anos, praticantes de futebol society de forma regular há pelo menos três meses. Foi realizada uma bateria de testes do Manual Projeto Esporte Brasil, a fim de verificar a aptidão física dos adolescentes. Após a aplicação dos testes, foi possível encontrar resultados satisfatórios em relação à potência dos membros inferiores e agilidade, resultados medianos para velocidade, membros superiores e resistência muscular localizada, bem como resultado negativo para o IMC dos avaliados. Diante disso, conclui-se que os adolescentes possuem uma boa aptidão física em geral, porém algumas capacidades físicas se mantiveram abaixo do esperado, necessitando de maior atenção, a fim de melhorar o desempenho na atividade, assim como colaborar para o crescimento e desenvolvimento adequado.

Introduction: treadmill exercise training is one of the most investigated non-pharmacological treatment options for experimental brain ischemia. However, the cholinergic system is essential for improving motor behavior responses. 
Objective:  to analyze the effects of a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist (1, 2, and 4 mg/kg) on the motor behavior of ischemic gerbils subjected to forced treadmill training.
Methods: in this experimental study, 72 gerbils, weighing 65–80 g, were divided into eight groups: Sal, Ni1, Ni2, Ni4, I, INi1, INi2, and INi4. Behavioral assessment was initiated 24 hours after the last motor stimulation on the treadmill. Rotarod test (RR) was employed to analyze animal behavior. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the Newman-Keuls post hoc test evidenced differences detected between groups. 
Results: data regarding the RR test revealed decreased time spent on the RR apparatus for the Ni1, Ni4, and I group compared to the Sal and Ni2 groups. However, the INi1 and INi2 groups showed increased time spent compared with the ischemia and INi4 groups (F7,64=4,63; p<0,05).
Conclusions: the present study indicates that treadmill training with a concomitant 1 and 2 mg/kg of nAChR agonist effectively improves the behavior of ischemic gerbils.
