The Illusion of Identity: At-Home Ancestry Testing, Forensics, and the Accuracy Problem
Authors: Guidero Gabi
Published: June 2023

Race, as a social construct, plays a significantly large role in the scientific field of genetics. This review analyzes several studies to reach a more comprehensive understanding of race’s historical influence in genetics, the modern implications of this relationship, and the validity of race as a scientific category in genetics. While the scientific validity of race has largely been disproved, it continues to be used by scientists and geneticists, specifically in genetic disease research. Aside from the obstacles stemming from race’s lack of legitimacy in science, its social implications are also a liability for scientific advancements because of how race has historically marginalized people groups. Moreover, the monetization of recent discoveries in genetics, including at-home ancestry test kits and molecular photofitting in forensics, are a cause for concern due to their lack of scientific accuracy. The process of racial categorization of test subjects is not as accurate as companies advertise, and this lack of transparency can lead to false conclusions about personal identity based on misinformation of at-home ancestry test results which rely upon a limited data set. In addition, this possibility of error in the DNA testing process can lead to the criminalization of innocent suspects. Therefore, awareness about both the primary motives of these companies, as well as the social implications of interpreting genetic test results, is critical to understanding the broader effects of race in genetics in society.
Finding an eco-friendly and effective flocculation method to remove algal blooms from water
Authors: Kantipudi Shrika , Joykutty Leya
Published: June 2023

Algal blooms are rapid growth of microscopic algae in the water that are harmful to the environment because they block sunlight from reaching plants under the surface, deplete the water of useful nutrients, and release carbon emissions. Flocculation is a method that is used to remove algae and it works by binding and agglomerating suspended particles in water to form large particles to assist in their settling. However, most flocculants are chemical flocculants and may harm water quality. Bio-flocculation based on natural flocculants has been studied in drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) as an eco-friendly alternative technology to conventional flocculants for both turbidity and HABs removal. The total solids assay, sedimentation kinetics assay, and pH testing will be used to measure the effectiveness of flocculants and water quality. These assays were tested with three types of algae: Chlorella vulgaris, Spirulina, Scenedesmus obliquus, and five types of flocculants: Aluminium Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Chitosan, Moringa oleifera, and Strychnos potatorum Linn. The data collected so far in the study show that the chemical flocculants and bio-flocculants have a similar effectivity at flocculating algae from the water. The findings suggest that there is no significant difference between the bio-flocculants and the chemical flocculant. and that all of the flocculants will be effective. pH testing results have shown that Chitosan, Moringa oleifera, and Strychnos potatorum Linn affect the water quality the least which makes them the more environmentally friendly flocculants.

Authors: Rao Yesh
Published: June 2023

The present state of research into varying forms of healthcare is limited if existent. Discussions are limited to the state of different healthcare policies and their overall effects but have not effectively attempted to compare proposals in regards to US applicability. This article aims to bridge that gap and build off existing pieces of research to effectively produce concrete analysis on various forms of healthcare. Irrespective of one’s opinion on the status of healthcare, there is no denying the current system is in need of change. Via analyzing proposals in across the globe this paper discusses respective benefits in conjunction with the harms. The goal of this paper however is not to determine the best healthcare policy as that answer will inevitably not arise at any point in time but rather to discuss what forms of benefits we might see as a result of various policies.

Landmarks in the Traumatic Brain Injury A Retrospective Study
Authors: Al-Awar Omar
Published: June 2023

As one might expect, prehistoric brain surgery lacked knowledge of the anatomy, concept recognition of the disease, and comprehension of the disease’s origin. Unfortunately, failure to deeply understand these important principles delayed the progression of medical and surgical practice. Trepanation may be one of the oldest surgical interventions for which archaeological evidence is present. In the 1990s, standardized guidelines were developed and established for the management of traumatic brain injury. They included protocols regarding the pharmaceutical therapy and the management of increased ICP. Since then, research has improved TBI survival. Evidence of trepanation practice and other techniques in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica is demonstrated by the cranial remains in pre-Columbian burials, iconographic artworks, and post-colonial reports. The intellectual understanding of neurosurgery developed during the golden age of ancient Greece where no surgeon restricted oneself in strict to neurosurgery. Head injuries on the other hand appear to have been abundant; an expected result of wars and internecine conflict, as recorded by Herodotus, Thucydides, and Homer. Then and now, war remains the primary source of study material for the improvement of knowledge regarding head injuries. Surgical procedures for the management of even minimal lesions of the theca cranica, continued throughout the 16 th and 17 th Century. The surgical technique, with cross-shaped skin incision and the instruments used (trephine, lever, scalpel, gouge, protector of the meninx, etc.) would remain unchanged with respect to the past, but one should take notice at the improved quality of the materials and the ameliorated precision with which the instruments were made. Some instruments appeared to be real work of art, as shown by the findings now displayed in museums and in illustrations of the times. The most ancient technique of craniotomy involved using abrasive instruments to thin down the bony wall. Subsequently, circular incisions were progressively made deeper, or a series of small holes were made in a circular fashion. The remaining bony bridges between these small holes would be broken down. The two latter methods that continued to be used for a very long period depended on using metal instruments.

Authors: EN Yakubu
Published: June 2023

Prolonged obstructed labour is the main cause of obstetric vesico-vaginal fistula, however there is growing perception that a proportion of cases may be arising from surgical complications and errors. This study intends to evaluate this observation. A retrospective study of 378 eligible cases of obstetric VVF repaired over a five-year period. Requisite information was retrieved from hospital case records. Dataentry and analysis was done using SPSS version 20. Means and SD, Chi square test and the level of significance set at p<0.05 were calculated. The mean age was 33.9±10.1 years, mostly multipara, majority following caesarean sections in 62.3% followed by prolonged obstructed labour in 28.6% of patients. The most common type of VVF was Intra-cervical fistula in 55.8% of patients. At the time of hospital discharge following repair, 76.5% were closed and dry, 18.5% had post-repair incontinence and 5.0% had a failed repair within the studied period. Half of our patients (50.3%) were referred from private hospitals, 40.3% had no referral letter and the remaining were referred from government hospitals. The outcomes of surgeries were not influenced by the type of VVF repaired. Chi square test was 0.38 at 95% CI (p>0.05). There is a worrisome proportion of obstetric VVF from caesarean sections. Our success rates in obstetric VVF repair appears satisfactory; more effort be made in strengthening the referral system and impacting correct surgical skills especially in areas of caesarean section.

Emotion Detection with CNN Model and Song Recommendations using Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Giridhar Sunil  , Abraham Kuriakose
Published: June 2023

Music is an exemplary tool to judge a person’s emotional state. It is the language of the soul. What cannot be articulated through words are easily conveyed through a melody. Music not only speaks to a person’s emotional and mental state, but it is also known to have a therapeutic effect on the listener. The traditional method of music recommendation uses collaborative or content-based filtering to recommend songs but a person’s song choices does not depend only on the song they usually listen to but depends mostly on their emotional state. With the fast-paced innovations pertaining to the music application industry, there is still scope of further improvement in the user experience and creating an encompassing application that not only allows the app users to enjoy listening to their favorite songs but also caters to their recommendation based on their emotional state. Thus, an emotion detection system using Convolution Neural Networks has been proposed. The user feeds in a custom playlist containing a mixture of musical genres that are classified into different emotions using K-Means Clustering. The CNN model detects the emotional state of the user and recommends a series of songs from the classified playlist. This interactive interface is a revolutionary innovation for users who need song recommendations that suit their current mind-state.

Authors: Devalalikar Vishal
Published: June 2023

India has been witnessing rapid growth in travel with the occurrence of online cab service especially in urban sector. The high demand for transport service and lack of good quality of public transport has given the opportunity to many cab aggregators to gain customers. People go for cab because it offers desirable comfort, flexibility and privacy. It also helps to avoid problem like parking issues. Hence, it’s important to assess the aspects that the customer/user is looking for the most while hailing an online cab service. To study the relationship of service quality attributes with overall satisfaction of the cab users, a web-based survey was conducted in Tiruchirappalli and Pune city. This paper proposes the use of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to analyze perceived service quality of online cab users and to find out the attributes of importance a customer consider while hailing an online cab service. Model developed show that the attributes like safety, waiting time, driver behavior, comfort, cleanliness and trust on driver are some of the variables that have relatively higher influence on overall satisfaction.
Mobility and land-use system in the sport mega-events. The case of the Cagliari stadium (Sardinia, Italy)
Authors: Balletto Ginevra
Published: June 2023

The evaluation of the mobility of the Sport infrastructures associated with Mega Events (SMEs), as football stadiums, and, in particular, the modal choices adopted by participants, are the focus of this study. Mobility, geographical aspects and urban planning that characterize a city hosting the SME are the main fields of investigation. In particular, in Italy there is a limited collaborative convergence among technical and scientific principles and the rules expressed by the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI), to which an obsolete regulation for the accessibility of sports facilities refers. The progressive awareness of the communities on the fundamental role of sustainable mobility, energy efficiency, reduction of air pollution, also deriving from the impulse of the 2030 objectives, highlights how it is illusory to think of reaching them without gradual changes in the lifestyle of the communities themselves through political rules of urban development. Furthermore, the pandemic and the recent energy crisis highlighted the need to develop integrated systems - considering geographical, urban and regional planning, transport and mobility issues capable of innovating to improve planning activities and the quality of urban life.
Price elasticity of fuel demand: an econometric approach
Authors: Marabucci Alessio
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this paper is to quantify, through the use of Bayesian VAR (BVAR) econometric models, the elasticity of demand for automotive fuels (gasoline, diesel and liquid propane gas - LPG) in response to a shock in both their respective prices at the pump and other and other variables that affect the production of these commodities (such oil price, exchange rate etc.). The data used consist of time series on consumption and prices of the goods described above as of January 2002 for Italy. First, the existing literature, which focuses mainly on Anglo-Saxon countries, was analysed in order to obtain terms of comparison that would allow a comparison between the results obtained (described below) and the aforementioned similar studies. Second, after a description of the data used and their contextualization to the Italian case, the econometric approach used to estimate elasticities is described. The consequences of in terms of policy are interesting, since these are goods with rigid demand, little susceptible to price changes (whether induced by a change in the price of crude oil or a change in the excise rates in force in the country) and substantially characterized by a certain stability over the years. The analysis displays also the response of the above-mentioned fuels to Brent’s price shocks, delivering as additional result that these fuels are very sensitive to the fluctuations of their raw material whose price’s increase is capable of generating a bottleneck in the global value chain imposing negative shifts in the quantity consumed and an increase in price of the fuels analysed
A Study on Verification Methods of Vocabulary Grade
Authors:   Morphology, Choi Soyoung , Park Taejoon , Park Jinho
Published: June 2023

In this study, a new method was designed and verified to verify the validity of the 'vocabulary grading list', which selected and graded educational vocabulary to support systematic vocabulary teaching and learning in school education. As a verification method, the following two-way method was devised. First, as a way to expand language life beyond school education, it is a way to verify validity by checking whether the vocabulary grade to be verified is a level that appropriately reflects general language life in the wider world than school education. To implement this plan, a hierarchy of vocabulary extracted from a large-scale corpus, which is a new basic data, was set up and a method of comparative analysis with the grade of this study was designed. Second, it is a convergent method to verify the validity by focusing more on the educational purpose of the vocabulary grade and checking whether it is a level that can explain specific teaching-learning aspects of school education. To implement this plan, a method was designed to reveal the degree of linkage with textbook text readability levels of various subjects through correlation analysis and regression analysis. As a result of the verification, the vocabulary grade of this study was quite consistent with the lexical hierarchy extracted based on the large-scale corpus and the level of readability evaluation of textbook texts, but showed a tendency to show a high degree of concordance, especially in low-level easy vocabulary, and the verification result index was poor. If not, they showed mutual similarity. Through this, it was confirmed that the verification method of this study was partially effective, and it could be said that it was a useful verification result in that it consistently informs the direction of supplementation of the vocabulary ranking list. The vocabulary grade verification method explored in this study is meaningful in that it improved the empirical quality of vocabulary grade setting and grade verification.

A narrative and comprehensive review of studies on the performance of psychology in this teaching modality was used as a method. Among the results, we have reports that show that psychology acts from the process of entering and welcoming the institution, in the development of skills that involve from the process of learning as well as social and life skills, showing that this action has been establishing its role as a mediator of an integral formation to that student.

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder of multiple etiologies, which is mainly characterized by persistently high levels of glucose in the blood. Estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate that approximately 422 million people have diabetes and 1.6 million deaths are directly attributed to the disease each year. Faced with such relevant numbers, natural therapies are sought that are effective, efficient and low-cost for the referred pathology. Several natural products are already being used as adjuvants in the treatment of diabetes because they have hypoglycemic action, such as monoterpenes. However, there is a strong intention to expand the portfolio of natural products with hypoglycemic compounds. Thus, the objective of this study was to list information from the literature on diabetes and the applicability of natural products, emphasizing the antidiabetic action of the monoterpenes R-(+)-Limonene and (-)-Carveol. A narrative review was performed. The selected articles were directed to the pathophysiological parameters of diabetes and its complications, aspects of the use of natural products, monoterpenes and their therapeutic effects as antidiabetic agents. The research was carried out in the following databases: PubMed, Scielo, Portal Periódicos Capes, Scopus, Web of Science and Science Direct. Studies show that diabetes is a complex disease that causes a series of complications and can be treated with oral hypoglycemic agents, insulin, diet and physical activity. Researches related to R-(+)-Limonene and (-)-Carveol, in rats, showed positive results with antidiabetic action, acting in the reduction of the plasmatic levels of glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol and of the expression of inflammatory markers, as well as in the increased effect of antioxidant enzymes. However, studies involving these monoterpenes are still incipient, making this research timely. Thus, R-(+)-Limonene and (-)-Carveol are promising candidates for further research to elucidate their therapeutic effects alone or in combination with other antidiabetic monoterpenes.

Tinjauan Hukum Tentang Hibah Dan Batasan Pemberian Hibah
Authors: Priyadi Aris
Published: June 2023

Abstract

A grant is a gift from one person to another where the giver is still alive. Materially, the existence of a grant has something to do with inheritance. Provisions/rules regarding grants in Indonesia are still pluralistic. Basically, an owner of property has the right and freedom to give/grant to anyone, including his children, provided that the gift (grant) does not cover and does not reduce other rights as heirs. If the conditions and pillars are met then the grant is valid. Giving grants according to Islamic law (Compilation of Islamic Law) is limited to a maximum of 1/3 (one third) of the total assets of the grantor. In the event that grants are made to their children (heirs), then the limitation is that grants must be made with the principle of justice. This grant limit is given to protect the rights of the heirs after the grantor dies. In addition to the maximum limits regulated in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), customary law and the Civil Code also provide the same limits on grant grants. This is intended to protect the absolute rights of the heirs and to avoid losses suffered by the heirs whose share cannot be reduced according to law (legitieme portie).

Abstrak

Hibah merupakan pemberian seseorang kepada orang lain dimana sipemberi tersebut masih dalamkeadaan hidup. Secara materiil, eksistensi hibah ada hubunganya dengan kewarisan. Ketntuan/aturan tentang hibah di Indonesia sampai saat ini masih bersifat pluralistis. Pada dasarnya seorang pemilik harta kekayaan berhak dan leluasa memberikan/menghibahkan kepada siapapun, termasuk pula kepada anaknya dengan syarat pemberian (hibah) tersebut tidak menutup dan tidak mengurangi hak-hak yang lain sebagai ahli waris. Apabila syarat dan rukunnya terpenuhi maka hibah tersebut adalah sah. Pemberian hibah menurut hukum Islam (Kompilasi Hukum Islam) dibatasi maksimal 1/3 (sepertiga)dari keseluruhan harta pemberi hibah. Dalamhal pemberian hibah dilakukan kepada anak-anaknya (ahli waris),maka batasannya adalah penghibahan harus dilakukan dengan prinsip keadilan. Batasan pemberian hibah ini diberikan untuk melindungi hak-hak para ahli waris setelah pemberi hibah meninggaldunia. Selain batasan maksimal yang diatur dalam Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI) , hukum adat dan KUHPerdata juga memberikan batasan yang sama dalam pemberian hibah. Hal ini dimaksudkan untuk melindungi hak-hak mutlak para ahli waris dan untuk menghindari kerugian yang diderita oleh para ahli waris yang menurut undang-undang bagiannya tidak boleh dikurangi (legitieme portie).
