Streamlining Tax Calculations: An Automated Approach for Individual Taxpayer
Authors: Jain Sahil Saurabh , Sharma Swati , Bharti Anuj Kumar
Published: October 2023

In this paper, we provide an innovative tax computation method that intends to automate and simplify the calculation of taxes for Indian citizens. The method that we suggest in this work uses machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), optical character recognition (OCR), and OCR technologies to accurately interpret financial data from a user's bank statement. The method we provide here leverages and employs data extraction, cleaning, sorting, and categorization using NLP techniques, as well as tax computation based on the current Indian tax framework. Our approach tackles both the shortcomings of current automated tax computation systems as well as the difficulties Indian taxpayers encounter when navigating the complicated tax structure of their nation. With the help of automation of the tax calculation process, we aim to reduce the likelihood of errors and minimize the time and effort required by taxpayers while preventing fraudulent activities. Although our approach has shown promising results, there are limitations and areas for further development, such as improving OCR accuracy, adding support for different languages, managing complex tax scenarios (for people owning business), enhancing scalability, and addressing privacy and security concerns. With further research and development, our proposed tax computation method has the potential to streamline and enhance the tax filing process in India, making it more efficient, accurate, and user-friendly.

Authors: Rashid Najam Nora , Abdulhammed Abduljawad Razan
Published: October 2023

Denial of service and Distributed denial of service (Dos/DDos) attacks continue to be one of the most significant dangers in cybersecurity. Many efforts are being put into developing defenses against these types of attacks. The tools used by attackers to perform these types of attacks increase day-to-day. Thus, a countermeasure is necessary. For this reason, this thesis utilized one of the most recent datasets (CSE-CICIDS2018 and CIC-DDoS2019) containing most Dos/DDoS attacks. This study proposed a framework based on Machine Learning for detecting denial-of-service (DoS) and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The framework comprises three main modules: feature selection method using Random Forest—Recursive Feature Elimination (RF-RFE), handling the Imbalanced class distributions using Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE), and classification. This study used five classifiers to make comparisons that include Random Forest (RF), Naive Bayes (NB), Logistic Regression (LR), and Linear and Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (LDA, QDA)”. Framework empirical findings reveal that the RF-RFE_SMOTE_RF outperformed all other models by obtaining an accuracy of 100% for CSE-CIC-IDS2018 and 0.99% for CIC-DDoS2019.

WILD BANANA PLANTS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT IN OIL PALM PLANTATIONS
Authors: CHUNG GAIT FEE
Published: October 2023

Several species of wild banana plants can be encountered in oil palm plantations and a number of them are considered as weeds. Some wild banana species in Malaysia are Musa acuminata, Musa violascens, Musa gracilis, Musa balbisiana, Musa beccari, Musa campestris, Musa monticola, Musa borneensis, Musa ornata and Musa juwiniana. These wild banana plants produce inedible fruits with many large hard seeds. Musa ornata, M. violascens and M. gracilis are cultivated as ornamentals in gardens because of their unique appearance with brightly coloured bracts and other colourful parts in red, purple, pink, or white. This paper gives a brief account of these wild banana species and deliberate in general the classification, names, distribution, habitats, plant features, pollination, dispersal, and uses. The most common wild banana weed encountered in oil palm plantations is M. acuminata. The weed status and management aspects of the wild banana weeds are deliberated and focussed on and to a lesser extent references to the control of unwanted banana plants/disease infected plants are also given. The early detection and control of wild banana weeds are the strategies adopted for the management of these weeds in oil palm plantations. In the integrated weed management approach, preventive measures are preferred. When planters encounter serious infestation of these weeds, several control measures of applying herbicides (2,4-D herbicides, glyphosate isopropylamine, metsulfuron-methyl) such as trunk injection, insertion of treated sticks and cut and application are possible. In the writer’s opinion, cutting and applying a few drops of 2,4-D herbicide concentrate is probably the obvious recommendation for controlling wild banana weeds in serious widespread infestation in replanting fields and immature planting in oil palm plantations. Keywords: Wild banana plants, Musa species, weeds, ornamental, oil palm, management, herbicides.

Why Nineteen Eighty-Four Should Be Required Reading for Every University Student
Authors: Jiang Xinyan
Published: October 2023

This article argues for the inclusion of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four as obligatory reading for university students due to its profound reflection on the value of history. While previous studies have explored themes of totalitarianism, love, alienation, political allegiance, hierarchy, and technology in the novel, this research focuses on the importance of history for university students. The essay begins by highlighting how studying history can help students understand people, societies, and the processes of change that shape communities. It emphasizes the acquisition of crucial skills, such as evaluating competing interpretations and analyzing evidence. The article then addresses challenges to the utility of history, including objections raised by Henry Ford and other concerns. Finally, it examines specific hazards resulting from a lack of historical knowledge, drawing examples from Nineteen Eighty-Four.
The Serialised Storytelling in Film: Creating a Completely Furnished World
Authors: Guo Jiaxu
Published: October 2023

This article discusses the inter-relationship and main contradictions between creative development and the commercial use of serialised stories through an analysis of the two series of films, The Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean. The article argues that the existence and development of serialised stories are rooted in people’s pursuit of a “completely furnished world”. Although there is a basic contradiction between the two at present, the development and commercialisation of serialised stories should not be criticised, but rather require more attempts to ease or resolve this contradiction.
A Discussion of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Authors: Shen Leqi
Published: October 2023

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a triphasic hematological malignancy characterized by the presence of the abnormal Philadelphia chromosome, linked to causing uncontrolled myeloid cell proliferation in the bone marrow and marked changes in the peripheral blood and bone marrow microenvironments. The discovery of the BCR-ABL1 fusion oncogene from the balanced translocation of chromosomes 9 and 22, creating the Philadelphia chromosome, and its encoded tyrosine kinase protein has been linked to causing uncontrolled cell proliferation, leading to a subsequent development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). TKIs, along with traditional chemotherapy drugs and interferon treatment, have revolutionized CML treatment, enabling deep remissions and prolonging of the disease’s chronic phase. This review will introduce CML and comprehensively explore the epidemiology, molecular basis, pathology, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic strategies for CML, including their mechanisms of action and challenges, such as TKI resistance, with a focus on TKIs as the workhorses of CML therapy. By reviewing the current known literature, this paper aims to contribute to and guide the pursuit of new knowledge and research.

This research is motivated by the development of tourism in the village in an effort to optimize the village's potential to be utilized as a tourist village destination. The role of the community in this development is a form of shared commitment. However, in this development effort literacy related to tourism awareness is still low and must be overcome so that community awareness of tourism villages can be realized. This study uses field research (field research) with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was performed using data collection techniques, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Based on the results of the research conducted, the development of the Kertosari tourism village is a tourist destination that combines aspects of recreation and education by optimizing the potential that the village has. In the scope of increasing the community's economy, the presence of tourist villages has a very positive impact, especially on the sale of agricultural products. Suggestions that can be conveyed are the importance of the role of tourism awareness groups (Pokdarwis) in increasing the existence of the Kertosari tourist village both in terms of the number of tourists and community economic empowerment through the use of social media as a means of digital tourism information. This shows that the role of Pokdarwis is not only as tourism manager but also as tourism marketing

Published: October 2023

Bovine ketosis is a major metabolic disorder emerging as a result of negative energy balance in the post calving period and subsequent lactation of lactating dairy animals. The ketone bodies (beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate and acetone etc.) are accumulated that can be detected in milk, blood, and urine samples. The present study was accomplished to sort out the frequency of bovine ketosis in dairy buffalo herds during the first 2 months of lactation in buffalo to detect bovine ketosis. For this purpose, blood, and urine samples (n=50) were randomly collected from private dairy farms (n=5) having buffalos as a pilot study employing commercial test strips i.e., Free Style Optium β-ketone test strips (Abbot Healthcare, Pvt. Ltd. UK) for blood and JusChek (Muenster, Germany) for urine analysis. Resultantly, as a whole prevalence of bovine ketosis found using blood sample was 18% and via urine was 12% that indicates high prevalence of subclinical ketosis during 2nd month of lactation. Animals in the age group of 5 to 7 years were found to be significantly more susceptible (P<0.05) with an incidence of 37.5%. The results revealed that a significant subclinical ketosis exists in the dairy buffaloes, which causes decreased production associated with significant economic loss to the farmers. It was concluded that a moderately high incidence of sub clinical bovine ketosis predominates in the study area which may be curtailed by early diagnostic and remedial approaches using field tests to save the economics of the farmers.

Authors: Mahantswamy Mallikerimath , Ghuman Sarvpreet Singh , Singh Bilawal
Published: October 2023

Five hundred dairy households in the rural areas of Punjab state were interviewed through comprehensively designed questionnaires to assess the knowledge and experience of farmers regarding the hormone-based strategies to overcome anestrus and getting the buffaloes pregnant. About 81.8% dairy households were unaware (P<0.05) about any estrus induction or synchronization hormonal protocol and majority (65.5%) of these belonged to households with <5 animals. Out of households having awareness about hormonal protocol use in buffaloes, the majority (58.2%) belonged to households with >15 animal. Out of dairy farmers using hormonal protocols, the proportion of illiterate was 14.8%. Out of dairy farmers not aware about hormonal protocols, the proportion of illiterate was 52.3%. Data analysis of 91 dairy households who had used hormonal protocols revealed summer (65.9%) and anestrus (82%) as the major underlying reasons for their use in buffaloes. Low success rate (20.2%), high cost (50%) and non-availability of doctor (29.7%) were the reasons for the irregular use of hormonal protocols. The success rate of hormonal protocols under field condition in terms of conception was 47.1%. In summary, the major bottlenecks in acceptability of hormone-based therapeutics strategies under filed conditions are illiteracy, high cost of therapeutics strategies and lack of awareness in buffalo farmers especially in households with <5 animals.

Authors: Reddy Bhavanam Sudhakara , Sivajothi Sirigireddy , Swetha Kambala
Published: October 2023

Present communication was focused on the ultrasonographic evaluation of the prokinetic effect of neostigmine in buffalo calves with abomasal atony. Six buffalo calves were selected for the study with absence of rumination, loss of feed intake, mild distended abdomen, achezia and frequent history of laying down and getting up with reduced rumen motility. Abomasal atony was confirmed by the ultrasonographic assessment of the abomasum motility. Calves were administered with injection neostigmine 0.02 mg/kg body weight slow intravenously along with 500 ml of 0.9% normal saline under the ultrasonographic monitoring. Abomasal motility was initiated by 18 to 42 minutes and complete abomasal motility was noticed by 150 to 180 minutes after administration of medications. Clinical improvement was noticed on the third day of therapy and efficacy of the neostigmine was noticed by ultrasonography. Present study concludes that neostigmine has prokinetic effect in buffalo calves with abomasal functional motility disorders. Ultrasonography is the best tool for assessment of abomasal motility without any adverse reactions and complications.
Microscopic exploration into the behavior of giant cells in placentomes of buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)
Authors: Ranjan Rajesh , Singh Opinder , Pathak Devendra
Published: October 2023

The present study was conducted on placentomes of 31 pregnant buffaloes ranging from 38 to 243 days of gestation to explore the microscopic details of giant cells and their behavior in buffalo placentomes. Various histological and histochemical stains used in the study revealed its structural and chemical details. The study revealed that giant cells played a major role in transplacental transfer of nutrients and other metabolites required by the fetal and maternal tissues. High polysaccharide content and intense enzymatic reaction indicated high metabolic activity of the giant cells in the placenta. The migratory nature of giant cells observed in the present study revealed its role in transfer of metabolites. The cytoplasmic processes observed in the study indicated its fusion with the cryptal epithelium as a medium of transfer of metabolites and formation of multinucleated giant cells. Strong acid phosphates activity can be correlated with its erythrophagocytic nature as a medium of transfer of iron molecules to the developing fetus.
Youth exposure to and usage of illicit drugs as an imperative in security discourse in Nigeria: Media`s role in curbing the menace of drug
Authors: Guanah Jammy Seigha , Edike Frederick Kparoboh , Ihiaeme Moses Chukwudi
Published: October 2023

Terrorism, armed robbery, ritual killings, and other sundry criminal acts have put Nigeria’s security under pressure. Insecurity is now a daily topic of discussion in all parts of the country. More disturbing is the fact that most perpetrators of criminal acts associated with insecurity are youth who abuse drugs. Yet, there seems to be a paucity of studies that probe some of the root causes of insecurity in  Nigeria. This study, which relied on Social Learning Theory, measured the level of exposure youth have to illicit drugs via social media; established the relationship between illicit drugs consumption and crime/insecurity, and examined the role the media can play in curbing the consumption and/or use of illicit drugs. It used a quantitative research method. Three hundred twenty-two copies of a questionnaire were administered to students of Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro, Delta State, Nigeria selected through a simple sampling technique. Results showed some youth get to know about illicit drugs through social media. A correlation was also found between illicit drug consumption and insecurity. The media can help curb drug abuse by the youth through enlightenment campaigns, among others. The study concluded that the attainment of appreciable security in Nigeria may remain a mirage without adequately addressing the issue of drug abuse. Thus, it was recommended that the media should create more awareness about the negative implications of illicit drug use by the youth by pointing out the dangers associated with drug abuse.

Authors:   , Carrés Gonzàlez Jordi
Published: October 2023

Energy audits have been, and are basically the study and analysis of energy flows in a building, process or system with the aim of knowing its behavior in order to find possibilities for energy improvement. It is primarily a quantitative analysis.

The following methodology establishes a qualitative process to find the best energy improvement options in an organization that, if possessing great technical knowledge, is capable of understanding what its situation is and how to improve its building, process or organization energy.

To see the possibility of adopting risk analysis in energy audits, we start from the basis that energy is an element of risk for the organization. So, can we consider energy as a vital risk for our organization? The answer is yes.

We will determine the adverse impact for the organization, as a result of the exploitation by a threat of a certain vulnerability, and the energy vulnerabilities will be determined in all the processes with which energy interacts in an organization that results in a model with 21 application modules to identify and assess risk in organizations.

The results and validation of the proposal have been proven in 208 audits in organizations of most business sectors.
This thesis is basically practical, so practical that it is currently the basis for conducting energy audits in Spain.

Las auditorías energéticas han sido, y son básicamente el estudio y análisis de los flujos de energía en un edificio, proceso o sistema con el objetivo de conocer su comportamiento para encontrar unas posibilidades de mejora energética. Es principalmente un análisis cuantitativo.
La siguiente metodología establece un proceso cualitativo para encontrar las mejores opciones de mejora energética en una organización que si poseer grandes conocimientos técnicos, sea capaz de entender cuál es su situación y cómo mejorar energéticamente su edificio, proceso u organización.
Para ver la posibilidad de adoptar el análisis de riesgo en las auditorías energéticas vamos a partir de la base que la energía es un elemento de riesgo para la organización. ¿Entonces, podemos considerar la energía como un riesgo vital para nuestra organización? La respuesta es sí.
Determinaremos el impacto adverso para la organización, como resultado de la explotación por parte de una amenaza de una determinada vulnerabilidad, y se determinarán las vulnerabilidades energéticas en todos los procesos con los que la energía interacciona en una organización que da como resultado un modelo con 21 módulos de aplicación para identificar y valorar el riesgo en las organizaciones.
Los resultados y validación de la propuesta han sido probados en 208 auditorías en organizaciones de la mayoría de sectores empresariales.
Esta tesis es básicamente práctica, tan práctica que actualmente es la base para la realización de auditorías energéticas en España.
Is JTB Knowledge Hopeless?
Authors: Cusmariu Arnold ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: October 2023

An argument structure that covers both cases Gettier described in his 1963 paper reinforces the conclusion of my 2012 Logos & Episteme article that the justified true belief (JTB) conception of knowledge is inconsistent. The stronger argument makes possible identification of fundamental flaws in the standard approach of adding a fourth condition to JTB, so that a new kind of skepticism becomes inevitable unless conceptual change occurs.
Subjective Rationality and the Reasoning Argument
Authors: Demircioglu Erhan ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: October 2023

My main aim in this paper is to show that Kolodny’s intriguing argument against wide-scopism – ‘the Reasoning Argument’ – fails. A proper evaluation of the Reasoning Argument requires drawing two significant distinctions, one between thin and thick rational transitions and the other between bare-bones wide-scopism (and narrow-scopism) and embellished wide-scopism (and narrow-scopism). The Reasoning Argument is intended by Kolodny both as an argument against bare-bones wide-scopism and as an argument against embellished wide-scopism. I argue that despite its formidable virtue of demonstrating the need for an account of thick subjective rationality, the Reasoning Argument works neither against bare-bones wide-scopism nor against embellished wide-scopism.
Virtual Laboratories and Posthuman Learning
Authors: Lisborg Sanne , Tafdrup Oliver ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2023

The increasing use of virtual laboratories in education raises new philosophical—and perhaps especially phenomenological—questions related to how this type of technological mediation affects the user’s sense of situated embodied being: sensory perception. The empirical basis of this phenomenological inquiry is a case study conducted in a Danish school setting. This allows us to compare analog laboratory work with virtual. Inspired by Maurice Merleau-Ponty, we describe how pupils’ bodily and multisensory interactions with laboratory tools differ across physical and virtual settings. Virtual laboratories are complex, sociotechnical, often opaque practices that affect the pupils’ sense of embodiment, thus prompting the need for in situ development of hermeneutical strategies for bridging the gap between the simulated laboratory and the physical world. In the final section, we discuss how these strategies can be considered posthuman learning processes.

Translation can be described as the activity of translating the meaning of text from one language to another or SL (source language) to TL (target language).This study focuses on the investigation of translation strategy used for Taylor Swift's song "Anti-Hero" A descriptive qualitative approach is used in this study. The process of choosing, concentrating, streamlining, abstracting, and changing the information found in the study's field notes and transcripts is sometimes referred to as the data gathering procedure. In parallel with the data collection method, data analysis was done. Out of the 18 methods based on Molina and Albir (2002), researchers can conclude that eight types of strategies are obtained from 47 data found in the translation of the lyrics to Taylor Swift's song "Anti-Hero."The strategies found include; Amplification (15 data) 32%, Borrowing (5 data) 11%, Calque (1 data) 2%, Discursive creation (1 data) 2%, Establish equivalence (11 data) 23%, literal translation (10 data) 21% and reduction (4 data) 9%. It was found that the type of amplification translation strategy was the strategy that appeared the most with a percentage of 32% of all translation techniques found so that it became the most dominant type of translation used by translators in lyrics of the song 'Anti-Hero'. While the strategies of calque and discursive creation were the fewest translation strategies with a percentage of 2% in the translation of the lyrics of the song 'Anti-Hero' from all the strategies found.

Published: October 2023

This research discusses the analysis of students' errors in writing recount texts. This study aims to analyze the types of errors made by undergraduate students’ writing scores at the English Language Teaching Department at one of the universities in Cirebon. This study focuses on writing errors taken from three categories of English proficiency levels (low, average, high). This study used the descriptive qualitative method. There were six participants. The data were taken from their recount text writing results. The results of this study show that there are four types of errors based on Surface Strategy Taxonomy by students: Omission, Addition, Misinformation, and Misordering. The result of the total number of student errors is 37 which contains 14 Omission (37.83%), three Addition (8.11%), 19 Misinformation (51.36%), and one Misordering (2.70%). The most errors were made by Misinformation, with 19 errors (51.36%). It can be concluded that the ability of undergraduate students at one university in Cirebon is still low in writing recount text.

A quantity-quality tradeoff: Water quality and poverty assessment of drinking water sources in Southern Tanzania
Authors:   , Maungu Nancy
Published: October 2023

Regardless of being essential for human survival, access to potable water is still a problem in many rural African communities with increasing exposure to waterborne illnesses. This study aimed at establishing accessible quality water sources in 5 drinking water sources in rural southern Tanzania. The water quality index (WQI) and water poverty index (WPI) were utilized to grade and measure the water quality and water stress respectively. The 26 households participated in a socioeconomic survey to gauge the water accessibility in relation to four WPI factors viz., preference, accessibility (distance), quality, and seasonal availability. Results from the WPI computed data revealed that all the investigated water sources possessed poor quality with 222.5 and 112 for surface water and shallow wells (>50 excellent, <300 unsuitable). The WPI scores for shallow wells were safer than surface water at 45.7 as contrasted to 33.8 for surface water (0- poorest levels, 100-best levels). This study concluded that, in this area, shallow wells have more secure water in terms of quality and accessibility. Health data from Milola ward showed high occurrences of water borne diseases. This study recommends urgent water treatment intervention by the responsible stakeholders to avail clean, reliable, and accessible drinking water for vulnerable communities.
