Investigating the Impact of Quantum Computing on Algorithmic Complexity
Authors: Piastou Mikita
Published: October 2024

This paper investigated the transformation that quantum computing brought into algorithmic complexity in the theoretical setting of computer science. This involved the appearance of new paradigm changes brought forth by quantum technologies, imposing on a glance at the performance of quantum algorithms in respect to classical models of computation regarding their effectiveness. Our contributions encompassed key quantum algorithms, specifically Shor's and Grover's algorithms, underlining the performance metrics of those algorithms. The mathematical modeling was supported by simulations using python libraries like Qiskit, which helped analyze the complexities of both algorithm types. From our simulations, it emerged that for smaller sizes of input, classical algorithms executed faster and illustrated their established efficiency. In contrast, quantum computing-algorithms like Grover's and Shor's - performed so much better for larger input sizes, showing potential advantages that may change the face of computational limitations. While promising much, it seemed from our findings that quantum computing would not show a quantum advantage for all computational tasks, because classical algorithms still remained robust and effective for many scenarios. This nuanced understanding underlines how complementary both the classical and quantum approaches are. Therefore, the insights gained through this work provide the basis for investigating where boundaries of computational capabilities evolve and what practical implications are of the integration of quantum technologies into existing systems.
“El protagonista de una fábula única”: análisis de “El narrador”, de Olga Orozco
Authors: Ambrosoni Paola
Published: October 2024

La obra poética de Olga Orozco (1920-1999) es profundamente religiosa. El cuerpo es uno de los temas centrales en su preocupación por alcanzar lo divino. En este sentido, el cuerpo tiene doble valencia: opera como impedimento y también como condición de posibilidad. El abordaje interdisciplinario entre literatura y filosofía que asume este trabajo permite una relectura original del cuerpo en Orozco, que revela las implicancias filosóficas de su intuición poética. La primera parte recorre pasajes en los que el cuerpo es considerado un obstáculo que aísla a los seres y dificulta el retorno a la divinidad. Se analizan sus figuras oscuras y despectivas, como “muro”, “lastre”, “sombra”. La segunda parte examina el poema titulado “El narrador”, del libro En el revés del cielo (1987), como punto de inflexión. El cuerpo reviste allí una significación nueva. La poeta le atribuye el poder de narrar su propia historia. Se puede vislumbrar la profunda analogía entre cuerpo y lenguaje: su función mediadora. El recurso a herramientas conceptuales de la fenomenología hermenéutica ayuda a pensar, desde el poema, la experiencia ambivalente del cuerpo. La noción de carne como alteridad primera explica el extrañamiento que describe la poeta y es condición indispensable para la mediación del sí mismo con el mundo, con los otros y con la ipseidad. La hermenéutica de “El narrador” arroja la luz del registro poético a la interpretación del cuerpo como signo y como condición de posibilidad del encuentro con la alteridad. Seguramente, otras lecturas de Orozco iluminen diversos temas antropológicos y metafísicos, ya que poesía y pensamiento se orientan hacia el mismo misterio.

Authors:   Sokoine University of Agriculture, Mbwana HA , Mwinuka L ,   University of Dodoma
Published: October 2024

This qualitative study explores consumption patterns and food preferences across three East African cities through focus group discussions involving 70 adult men and women. The study reveals commonalities in food sources and staple foods among participants in Kampala, Nairobi, and Dar es Salaam. While most foods prepared at home were sourced from local markets, street vendors, and general shops, supermarkets played a significant role in introducing new processed and nutritious products. The rise in supermarket usage in East African cities has been associated with contemporary health issues such as obesity, prompting concerns about food quality from other sources like street vendors and traditional markets. Participants across the cities showed a preference for energy-dense staple foods like rice, Ugali, cassava, and beans, often accompanied by meat, vegetables, or fish. Differences in staple foods and eating preferences were observed, with Kampala offering a wider variety of options compared to Nairobi and Dar es Salaam. The consumption of meat and meat products was influenced by participants' income levels, with affordability playing a significant role in food choices. Street foods emerged as a common feature in all three cities, with unique offerings like Chips Mayai in Dar es Salaam, Kikomando and Rolex in Kampala, and Mutura in Nairobi. Participants' food choices were influenced by factors such as affordability, accessibility, taste preferences, and cultural norms. The study also highlighted the importance of urban agriculture in some households, emphasizing self-sustainability in food production. Overall, the study provides insights into the diverse food consumption trends and patterns in East African urban settings, shedding light on the role of different food sources, staple foods, and street foods in shaping dietary practices among residents. Further research is needed to explore the impact of these consumption patterns on health outcomes and to develop strategies for promoting healthy eating habits in urban populations. Key words: Consumption patterns, meal frequency, fruits, vegetables, food preference, East Africa

Authors: Martínez-Cuestas Marco Antonio , González-Cortés Nicolas , Luna-Jiménez Ana Laura
Published: October 2024

En el departamento de Petén, en Guatemala, se ubican empresas agroexportadoras de papaya (Carica papaya L.) con requerimientos hídricos para su producción. Sin embargo, su extracción puede ocasionar a mediano plazo el agotamiento de los mantos subterráneos y superficiales. Por ello, el objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar la sostenibilidad de los sistemas de riego en seis empresas agroexportadoras de papaya (Carica papaya L.) del departamento de Petén, Guatemala. Para el análisis de la sostenibilidad en las empresas objeto de estudio se utilizó estadística descriptiva e inferencial, aplicando medidas de dispersión, variabilidad, asimetría y pruebas de normalidad de datos. Con esta información fue posible la propuesta de un modelo para evaluar la gestión sostenible del recurso hídrico. Como instrumento de recolección de datos se utilizó la observación, un cuestionario estructurado y otro no estructurado, además de una cédula de registro conformada por indicadores a nivel experimental que permitieron proponer el modelo con un índice para evaluar la sostenibilidad. A partir de la aplicación del modelo se obtuvo el Índice de Impacto Sostenible del Riego con una valoración de 0.64, lo cual localiza a los sistemas de riego de las empresas bajo estudio en la categoría poco sostenible. Por esto, se recomienda implementar sistemas de gestión basados en planes de restauración vegetal en zonas de recarga hídrica, estudios de calidad de aguas superficiales y subterráneas, así como de impacto ambiental, y generar una cultura de educación sostenible y de uso eficiente del agua para riego.
Of Separate Places: Bessho in Early Medieval Japan
Authors: Thumas Jonathan
Published: October 2024

Bessho, or “separate places,” were hermitages—places for Buddhist reclusion—occupied by reclusive monks in medieval Japan. Bessho spread throughout the Japanese archipelago from the eleventh through thirteenth centuries. They were remarkably diverse in their institutional status, associated religious practices, and personnel. Previous interpretations have focused on the role of bessho in relation to major sects and institutions, which has limited our capacity to explain their diversity and its impact. Through examining descriptions of bessho in relation to the wilderness in medieval primary sources, this article argues that bessho can be understood as a discourse about places of distance. As places of distance, bessho afforded opportunities for monks to engage in a wider variety of activities and forms of social engagement than were possible at major monasteries. This approach enables me to explain the diversity of this phenomenon and the role of bessho in the development of medieval Japanese Buddhism.
Influence des mesures d'entretien sur la vitalité et la croissance des peupliers à Madagascar
Authors: Bailly Claude , Brunck F. , Malvos Claude
Published: October 2024

Des essais préliminaires ont montré que l'on peut obtenir jusqu'à 100 % de réussite avec les boutures de peuplier de Caroline, à condition que le sol soit maintenu à un taux d'humidité très proche de la capacité maximale de rétention d'eau. Le maintien de l'humidité du sol est essentiel, en particulier de fin septembre à début novembre, période critique où la moindre dessiccation du sol peut entraîner une très forte mortalité.Un essai d'entretien du sol en conditions de plantation a été réalisé ultérieurement pour déterminer l'effet des différentes procédures et pour évaluer la concurrence exercée par les mauvaises herbes sur l'alimentation en eau des jeunes peupliers. L'absence d'entretien, l'entretien partiel et l'entretien complet ont été comparés du point de vue de la mortalité (de près de 40 % à 0 %), de l'hétérogénéité de la plantation (coefficients de variation de 33 % à 19 %) et de la croissance (augmentation de 0,64 m à 2,49 m). Outre la croissance des arbres pendant la saison végétative, l'étude a porté sur l'évolution de l'humidité du sol à différentes profondeurs dans les plantations non entretenues et dans celles qui ont fait l'objet d'un entretien complet.

ANALYSIS OF HEALTH FINANCING PRINCIPLES IN SUPPORTING UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE IN INDONESIA: LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Pribadi Frita Ayu
Published: October 2024

Background: Health financing is one of the focuses in the National Health System Reform major project in the 2022 Government Work Plan. However, obstacles have been found in health financing in Indonesia, including a lack of promote and preventive financing; less non-governmental involvement; and weak development of national health insurance (JKN) services. Purpose: To understand the principles of health financing for the realization of universal health coverage. This principle uses the concept of Kutzin et al (2017) and Atim et al (2021), namely revenue raising; pooling revenues; purchasing services; benefit design and rationing mechanism; and governance and institutional arrangements, including decentralization. Method: Focuses on the principles of health financing by utilizing secondary data sources through qualitative methods. The data sources were obtained from scientific journals, official government reports, related web pages, and others. Results: The effectiveness of increasing income for health financing cannot yet be measured. Revenue collection was found to overlap with health financing sources. There was a deficit for the JKN budget, and the community was not disciplined in paying contributions in purchasing services and distribution mechanisms. For the principle of decentralization, regional governments still depend on the central government in planning and budgeting health financing. Conclusion: The principles of health financing in Indonesia are not yet optimal in practice. This article contributes to looking at the gaps in information regarding the government's commitment to universal health coverage.

Published: October 2024

Background: Positive patient care attitudes for mental illness cases must be developed in the early stages of medical education since those affected by mental illness or having some mental disorder suffer negative attitudes from other people in the community. Earlier studies identified several factors that affect medical students' attitudes toward patients with mental illnesses. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the attitude of medical students toward patients of mental illness. Methods: In this cross-sectional study using convenience sampling, 3rd and 4th year medical students (220) were assessed for attitudes toward mental illness using a pretested and pre-designed questionnaire which included details of socio-demographic variables such as age, gender, year of study, personal experience with mental illness, family history of mental illness or having direct contact with mental illness cases and knowledge about mental illness. Percentage and proportion were calculated, and the chi square test was applied to assess significance of the results. Results: The factors significantly associated with medical students’ attitudes toward mental illness were age, year of study, and knowing or having direct contact with mental illness patients. Those knowing mental illness cases in their family or friends had good attitude toward such patients. Conclusion: Education and direct contact with cases of mental illness serve as intervention strategies to reduce negative attitudes associated with mental illness among medical students.
Soil types as extrinsic cues differentially shape sensory perception of German Riesling wine
Authors: Nguyen Thi H. , Zimmermann Daniel , Müller Jonas , Durner Dominik
Published: October 2024

Despite the lack of consensus regarding the effects of different soils on wine flavour, the simplification of terroir to soil type has become increasingly common in wine marketing, particularly for German Riesling. To examine the effects of this strategy on sensory perception, twenty German Rieslings from four commonly marketed soil types (Buntsandstein, Löß, Muschelkalk, and Schiefer) were evaluated for aroma, taste, and mouthfeel attributes (rate-all-that-apply) by a panel of twenty wine experts, first without and then with each wine’s soil type given as an extrinsic informational cue. While ratings from the uninformed tastings suggest baseline differences among Rieslings from the various soils, the provision of soil type cues resulted in more extensive discrimination, particularly in terms of attributes related to minerality (earthy, chalky, marine, flinty, and salty). Soil type-dependent changes in ratings suggest distinct a priori conceptions for each soil shaped the panel’s expectations and differentially altered their perception, though further work is needed to determine whether nonexpert consumers would be similarly biased by these cues. For wine soil typing to be a viable marketing strategy, a well-defined “image” of each soil would need to be communicated to consumers, to ensure their expectations are set to trigger perception of the desired sensory properties.

Published: October 2024

One way to develop and improve the quality of the service system in kindergarten is by innovating and enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of cash management, including resources involved in financial management, educational facilities, and infrastructure. Recognizing the importance of systematized activities in an educational institution, the use of accounting information systems is crucial in ensuring precise and accurate fulfillment of information needs. This study aims to propose the application of an accounting information system for the cash receipt and expenditure cycle at TK ABC. A qualitative approach was used in this research. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The analysis included an examination of the organizational structure, an analysis of receipt and disbursement documents, and the procedures that have been implemented. The implementation of the accounting information system in managing cash receipts and disbursements at TK ABC has not been effective or adequate. This is evidenced by the fact that several tasks are still performed by only one party, the process of receiving and spending transactions has not been digitized, and internal controls are not optimal. Researchers provided recommendations in the form of Standard Operating Procedures and flowcharts for cash receipts and disbursements at TK ABC, which are expected to help the school improve the effectiveness and accountability of cash receipt and disbursement activities.
The Role of Instagram Influencers in Increasing Purchase Decisions for MS Glow
Authors: Mahardika Fadhal
Published: October 2024

This research aims to analyze the role of influencers in the marketing strategy of MS Glow products through Instagram social media with the AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) approach. Influencers on Instagram are considered as one of the effective marketing tools in attracting audience attention and encouraging purchase actions. The research method used is qualitative, with data collection through semi-structured interviews with ten respondents who are MS Glow product users. The results of the analysis show that influencers succeed in creating attention through interesting and relevant content, as well as building interest by showing authenticity and transparency in promotion. In addition, influencers also play a role in increasing consumers' desire to purchase the product by presenting clear and interesting information. The act of purchase is triggered through special offers such as promo codes included in the content. The theoretical implications of this study show that the AIDA model remains relevant in analyzing influencer marketing strategies. Practically, this study provides recommendations for companies to be more selective in choosing influencers and creating innovative content to increase interaction with the audience. This study also identified some limitations, such as the limited sample size and the focus on Instagram only, so it is recommended for future research to involve interviews with the company and expand the scope of research to other social media platforms.

Cholera vibrios, isolated from surface water bodies during monitoring activities, can differ from typical ones in terms of agglutinability with diagnostic cholera sera, which makes it difficult to assign them to a specific serogroup. Therefore, the determination of the causes for these deviations through the study of the structure of genetic determinants responsible for the synthesis of O‑antigen (wb* clusters) is considered a relevant task. The aim of this work was to identify wb* clusters in the genomes of R-variant Vibrio cholerae, study their structure, and conduct phylogenetic analysis of the strains. Materials and methods. Full genome sequencing was performed using Illumina MiSeq and MinION platforms. The assembly was conducted de novo using the SPAdes assembler software (v.3.11.1). Manipulation of cluster sequences and data visualization were carried out using the BLAST program from the ncbi-blast-suite package version 2.13.0, Python scripts and packages such as pyGenomeViz and Biopython. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using the roary program (v.3.13.0). Full genome alignment was carried out using the nucmer and promer programs from the MUMmer 4 package version 4.0. Results and discussion. R-variant V. cholerae contains different types of wb* clusters in the genome, with most commonly occurring O23 and O59. A comparison has been made between translated amino acid sequences of wb* regions in R-variant strains and amino acid sequences of reference strains present in the NCBI database. Some of the analyzed clusters completely match with reference strains, while others show high variability. Phylogenetically, the strains primarily group together according to the wb* cluster type, regardless of the S/R phenotype. Classifying R-variant V. cholerae strains based on agglutinability is challenging. Molecular research methods, polymerase chain reaction, in particular, are necessary to determine the pathogenic potential of such strains.

Live tularemia vaccine is one of the most effective bacterial vaccines. However, it also has high residual virulence for laboratory animals and may cause adverse reactions in individuals with compromised immune systems. The development of a safe and effective tularemia vaccine is impeded by insufficient understanding of the protection correlates. The aim of this work is to review the literature on the development of post-vaccinal immune responses to live tularemia vaccines and recombinant vaccine candidate strains and to determine the immunological correlates of protection in the formation of specific immunity to Francisella tularensis. This review describes the main aspects of the development of innate and adaptive immune responses to the administration of live tularemia vaccines based on attenuated strains of F. tularensis 15 NIIEG and F. tularensis LVS in humans and in experimental tularemia infection in a mouse model. Studying the mechanisms of adaptive immunity and identifying immunological correlates of protection in experimental tularemia in a murine model is crucial for researching new vaccine strains and improving laboratory methods for assessing the T-cell component of immunity. The main focus is on the study of cellular mechanisms underlying the formation of protective immunity in experimental tularemia, the determination of immunological criteria for its evaluation and the role of identified indicators in long-term protection after the end of the active phase of the immune response induced by immunization with vaccines based on attenuated F. tularensis strains. We discuss the effects of vaccination on the differentiation, functional activity, and duration of specific central and effector CD4+ and CD8+ memory T-cells circulation in humans and mice.

Tick-borne encephalitis is a flavivirus disease, endemic to vast areas of Europe and Asia, caused by the tick-borne encephalitis virus from the genus Orthoflavivirus, transmitted through the bite of a tick. The course of infection is characterized by fever followed by the development of potentially fatal encephalitis. Serological diagnosis of tick-borne encephalitis is complicated by severe cross-reactivity with antibodies to other endemic and imported flavivirus infections. The aim of the study was to obtain a recombinant analogue of domain III of the surface protein E of the tick-borne encephalitis virus (EDIII-TBEV) and assess its ability to detect antibodies to the tick-borne encephalitis virus and differentiate them from antibodies to other flavivirus infections. Materials and methods. A comparative study was performed using panels of sera containing and not containing antibodies to the tick-borne encephalitis virus, and panels of samples with antibodies to yellow fever, dengue, and Zika viruses. The study was conducted using commercial tests and experimental kits based on EDIII-TBEV in the ELISA format and in the dot analysis format. Results and discussion. It has been shown that the use of experimental kits based on EDIII-TBEV makes it possible to effectively detect IgG antibodies to tick-borne encephalitis virus and, in contrast to commercial tests, to differentiate them from antibodies to the pathogens of dengue, yellow and Zika tropical fevers. A recombinant analogue of domain III of the surface protein E in the tick-borne encephalitis virus can be a useful capture reagent when creating diagnostic test systems in the format of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and dot-immunoassay for the differentiated detection of IgG antibodies to the tick-borne encephalitis virus.

The aim of the review is to forecast the incidence of rickettsial infections and Q fever in the Russian Federation for 2024 based on an analysis of the epidemiological situation in 2010–2023. The epidemic potential associated with these infections in Russia and other countries where there is an increased activity of foci with an expansion of the area of pathogen circulation has been assessed. An analysis of the incidence of epidemic typhus, Brill’s disease, Siberian tick-borne typhus (STT), Astrakhan spotted fever (ASF), Q fever, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, human monocytic ehrlichiosis in the Russian Federation in 2023 in comparison with long-term average values in 2010–2019 (COVID-19 pre-pandemic period) has been carried out. In 2023, the rates of registered incidence of rickettsial infections and Q fever in Russia as a whole decreased relative to the long-term average level of 2010–2019, and there is a significant downward trend in most regions. The exception is the Far Eastern Federal District, where the incidence rate of STT in 2023 increased by 1.5 times as compared to the period of 2010–2019, and the city of Sevastopol, where an increase in the incidence of Marseilles fever was detected. When assessing the intra-annual distribution of incidence in 2023, registration of STT in Russia was carried out from March to November inclusive, ASF – from May to October, and Q fever – from May to August.

This article aims to analyse the validity of the clauses in the articles of association that establish that, in the even of the seizure of company shares, the ramaining shareholders or the company itself can acquire, in preference to the creditor enforcing the seizure, the seized shares at their book value. The question is of interest not so much from an internal or corporate point of view, which is also the cause, but rather vis-à-vis the creditor itself, since these clauses ultimatley mean that the creditor wil receive for these shares not the value or price that could be obtained in the judicial or administrative enforcement proceedings, but the book value determined in the company´s articles.

Reconciling chemicals and natural enemies is an attractive method for the management of Neoleucinodes elegantalis. This study aimed to evaluate the sublethal effects of Origanum majorana L. and Copaifera officinalis L. oils and the insecticides azadirachtin and deltamethrin on the functional and numerical response of Trichogramma pretiosum to different densities (2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64) of eggs from N. elegantalis. The type of functional and numerical response, search efficiency (a) and handling time (Th) were estimated by the Disc equation. Exposure to oils and insecticides influenced which type of functional response the parasitoid presented in relation to the pest, where azadirachtin had a type I response; O. majorana, deltamethrin and control type II and C. officinalis type III. Exposure to oils decreased handling time and attack rate in relation to the control; the insecticides, on the other hand, increased handling time and reduced the attack rate. For numerical response, exposure to oils and control, there was an increase in the rate of parasitized eggs in response to a greater supply of hosts. C. officinallis demonstrates to be more compatible when integrated with T. pretiosum, as it presented shorter manipulation time and higher attack rate, among the studied products.

Background
Meat goat production is a worldwide industry with products such as meat, milk, soap, and fiber being produced. There are approximately 2.6 million meat goats in the United States. For breeding female ruminants, early pregnancy loss is estimated to be 30% within the first month of gestation. Extracellular L-citrulline (a precursor to L-arginine) is not degraded by ruminal microbes due to the lack of uptake. L-arginine and thus L-citrulline, have beneficial impacts on placentation and, subsequently, fetal-placental development and survival.
Results
Meat goats were fed either a control (CON) or L-citrulline (CIT) supplemented diet from Days 12 to 82 of gestation. Blood samples were collected and subjected to high performance liquid chromatography analyses to quantify the abundance of amino acids. Pregnancy rates were determined on Days 30, 61, and 90 of gestation, and litter weight, individual birth weights, and 90-day adjusted weaning weights were collected. The concentrations of citrulline, ornithine, and arginine were greater in CIT does compared to CON does, but there was no difference in pregnancy rates between CON and CIT does. Birth weight was greater for male kids born as singles when compared to females, but this phenotype was not observed for kids born as twins or triplets. Further, males born to CON does had greater 90-day adjusted weaning weights than females, but this was not observed in the CIT group. Female kids born to CON and CIT Boer goats had heavier 90-day adjusted weaning weights than those born to Spanish or F1 Boer-Spanish does.
Conclusion
L-citrulline increased and stabilized circulating concentrations of arginine in maternal serum of meat goats. Further, L-citrulline supplementation may benefit does gestating triplets and increase 90-day adjusted weaning weights of female offspring. Boer goats may also be more sensitive to dietary supplementation with L-citrulline when compared to Spanish goats.
