Authors: Valdati Jairo , Miziescki Mikael , Martins Bandeira Leonardo
Published: April 2024

Esta pesquisa, cujo contexto é a geografia cultural, teve o objetivo de discutir as relações paisagístico-culturais a partir do Rio Manoel Alves como um componente integrador da paisagem cultural do município de Morro Grande, no extremo sul do estado de Santa Catarina, um dos sete municípios que compõem o território do Geoparque Mundial da Unesco Caminhos dos Cânions do Sul. O percurso metodológico desta escrita adotou a pesquisa bibliográfica como um dos principais procedimentos, com foco nas apropriações e ocupações culturais e históricas do patrimônio abiótico local. Além disso, uma saída de campo foi realizada com o intuito de identificar, inicialmente in loco, os principais elementos constitutivos da paisagem morro-grandense e como as materialidades se constituíram a partir desses ambientes. Com base nas proposições de Carl Sauer para uma paisagem como uma relação harmônica entre as barreiras naturais e a sociedade, temos em Morro Grande robustas relações entre o meio social e o natural, sendo este considerado um determinante da paisagem cultural. Com os resultados, foi possível concluir que há espaço para a discussão da existência de uma paisagem cultural em Morro Grande e que esta contém um potencial como patrimônio.
Humanity with Dignity. Plea For a Functional Theory of Dignity
Authors: Klug Bastian
Published: April 2024

In this paper, I present a functional theory of dignity which seeks to withstand the criticism of the concept of dignity, such those made by Andrea Sangiovanni, by arguing that there is more to dignity than these authors may ascribe. The functional theory of dignity is a reinterpretation of the notion of dignity in legal documents such as the UDHR, and calls for the protection of a dignified life for all human beings. The features of this concept of dignity follow from the historical function it has. A dignified life is a life free from hardship. We derive the need for its protection by remembering the reasons for the implementation of dignity in legal human rights documents – the negation of the atrocities in the Holocaust.
Rawlsian Anti-Capitalist Environmental Justice
Authors: Lennie Tyra
Published: April 2024

In this paper, I examine John Rawls’ claim in the first edition of A Theory of Justice that Justice as Fairness cannot include considerations about the environment and non-human animals. The paper aims to resolve the tension in this statement, as the idea of a Rawlsian well-ordered society without concern for the rest of nature presents as a contradiction. Through a more charitable reading of Rawlsian theory that borrows from anti-capitalist and environmental justice frameworks, we can see how Rawlsian justice connects tightly to these issues. I conclude that the Rawlsian well-ordered society must be committed to anti-capitalist environmental justice.
Allelic Variation of High-Molecular-Weight Glutenin Genes in Triticum Species and Triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack)
Authors: Spetsov Penko , Daskalova Nadia
Published: April 2024

High-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) encoded by alleles at the Glu-A1, Glu-B1, and Glu-D1 loci confer unique bread-making properties of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The identification of HMW-GS is the prerequisite for pyramiding high-quality glutenin genes. The present review is designed to list all published HMW-GS alleles in Triticum species and triticale (A- and B genomes), focusing on methods for their identification. T. monococcum is characterized by 37 alleles at the Glu-1 locus versus four alleles in T. thaoudar and 39 in T. urartu. In total, 80 alleles at Glu-A1 of diploid Triticum species and about 42 alleles found in polyploid wheat landraces and varieties (4x and 6x), including triticale, were listed. Allelic variation at the Glu-B1 locus is divided into 3 groups: a – z, aa – az, and ba – ct, comprising 121 alleles, of which 26 subunits have unspecified alleles. At least 51 allelic variants at locus Glu-D1 of Triticum species were indicated, along with carriers of the species level. In addition, subunit-specific genetic loci have been tagged, facilitating molecular marker development of high-gluten wheat cultivars through marker-assisted breeding.
Effectiveness of a Web-Based Individual Coping and Alcohol Intervention Program for Children of Parents With Alcohol Use Problems: Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Wall Håkan , Hansson Helena , Zetterlind Ulla , Kvillemo Pia , Elgán Tobias H
Published: April 2024

Background

Children whose parents have alcohol use problems are at an increased risk of several negative consequences, such as poor school performance, an earlier onset of substance use, and poor mental health. Many would benefit from support programs, but the figures reveal that only a small proportion is reached by existing support. Digital interventions can provide readily accessible support and potentially reach a large number of children. Research on digital interventions aimed at this target group is scarce. We have developed a novel digital therapist-assisted self-management intervention targeting adolescents whose parents had alcohol use problems. This program aims to strengthen coping behaviors, improve mental health, and decrease alcohol consumption in adolescents.

Objective

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a novel web-based therapist-assisted self-management intervention for adolescents whose parents have alcohol use problems.

Methods

Participants were recruited on the internet from social media and websites containing health-related information about adolescents. Possible participants were screened using the short version of the Children of Alcoholics Screening Test-6. Eligible participants were randomly allocated to either the intervention group (n=101) or the waitlist control group (n=103), and they were unblinded to the condition. The assessments, all self-assessed, consisted of a baseline and 2 follow-ups after 2 and 6 months. The primary outcome was the Coping With Parents Abuse Questionnaire (CPAQ), and secondary outcomes were the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C), and Ladder of Life (LoL).

Results

For the primary outcome, CPAQ, a small but inconclusive treatment effect was observed (Cohen d=–0.05 at both follow-up time points). The intervention group scored 38% and 46% lower than the control group on the continuous part of the AUDIT-C at the 2- and 6-month follow-up, respectively. All other between-group comparisons were inconclusive at either follow-up time point. Adherence was low, as only 24% (24/101) of the participants in the intervention group completed the intervention.

Conclusions

The findings were inconclusive for the primary outcome but demonstrate that a digital therapist-assisted self-management intervention may contribute to a reduction in alcohol consumption. These results highlight the potential for digital interventions to reach a vulnerable, hard-to-reach group of adolescents but underscore the need to develop more engaging support interventions to increase adherence.

Association Between Sleep Efficiency Variability and Cognition Among Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Accelerometer Study
Authors: Sakal Collin , Li Tingyou , Li Juan , Yang Can , Li Xinyue
Published: April 2024

Background

Sleep efficiency is often used as a measure of sleep quality. Getting sufficiently high-quality sleep has been associated with better cognitive function among older adults; however, the relationship between day-to-day sleep quality variability and cognition has not been well-established.

Objective

We aimed to determine the relationship between day-to-day sleep efficiency variability and cognitive function among older adults, using accelerometer data and 3 cognitive tests.

Methods

We included older adults aged >65 years with at least 5 days of accelerometer wear time from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) who completed the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s Disease Word-Learning subtest (CERAD-WL), and the Animal Fluency Test (AFT). Sleep efficiency was derived using a data-driven machine learning algorithm. We examined associations between sleep efficiency variability and scores on each cognitive test adjusted for age, sex, education, household income, marital status, depressive symptoms, diabetes, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, arthritis, heart disease, prior heart attack, prior stroke, activities of daily living, and instrumental activities of daily living. Associations between average sleep efficiency and each cognitive test score were further examined for comparison purposes.

Results

A total of 1074 older adults from the NHANES were included in this study. Older adults with low average sleep efficiency exhibited higher levels of sleep efficiency variability (Pearson r=−0.63). After adjusting for confounding factors, greater average sleep efficiency was associated with higher scores on the DSST (per 10% increase, β=2.25, 95% CI 0.61 to 3.90) and AFT (per 10% increase, β=.91, 95% CI 0.27 to 1.56). Greater sleep efficiency variability was univariably associated with worse cognitive function based on the DSST (per 10% increase, β=−3.34, 95% CI −5.33 to −1.34), CERAD-WL (per 10% increase, β=−1.00, 95% CI −1.79 to −0.21), and AFT (per 10% increase, β=−1.02, 95% CI −1.68 to −0.36). In fully adjusted models, greater sleep efficiency variability remained associated with lower DSST (per 10% increase, β=−2.01, 95% CI −3.62 to −0.40) and AFT (per 10% increase, β=−.84, 95% CI −1.47 to −0.21) scores but not CERAD-WL (per 10% increase, β=−.65, 95% CI −1.39 to 0.08) scores.

Conclusions

Targeting consistency in sleep quality may be useful for interventions seeking to preserve cognitive function among older adults.
Time Efficiency, Reliability, and User Satisfaction of the Tooth Memo App for Recording Oral Health Information: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study
Authors: Detsomboonrat Palinee , Pisarnturakit Pagaporn Pantuwadee
Published: April 2024

Background

Digitalizing oral health data through an app can help manage the extensive data obtained through oral health surveys. The Tooth Memo app collects data from oral health surveys and personal health information.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the evaluate the time efficiency, reliability, and user satisfaction of the Tooth Memo app.

Methods

There are 2 sections in the Tooth Memo app: oral health survey and personal oral health record. For the oral health survey section of the Tooth Memo app, different data entry methods were compared and user satisfaction was evaluated. Fifth-year dental students had access to the oral health survey section in the Tooth Memo app during their clinical work. The time required for data entry, analysis, and summary of oral health survey data by 3 methods, that is, pen-and-paper (manual), Tooth Memo app on iOS device, and Tooth Memo app on Android device were compared among 3 data recorders who entered patients’ information on decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth (DMFT) index and community periodontal index (CPI), which were read aloud from the database of 103 patients by another dental personnel. The interobserver reliability of the 3 different data-entering procedures was evaluated by percent disagreement and kappa statistic values. Laypeople had access to the personal oral health record section of this app, and their satisfaction was evaluated through a Likert scale questionnaire. The satisfaction assessments for both sections of the Tooth Memo app involved the same set of questions on the app design, usage, and overall satisfaction.

Results

Of the 103 dental records on DMFT and CPI, 5.2% (177/3399) data points were missing in the manual data entries, but no data on tooth status were missing in the Android and iOS methods. Complete CPI information was provided by all 3 methods. Transferring data from paper to computer took an average of 55 seconds per case. The manual method required 182 minutes more than the iOS or Android methods to clean the missing data and transfer and analyze the tooth status data of 103 patients. The users, that is, 109 fifth-year dental students and 134 laypeople, expressed high satisfaction with using the Tooth Memo app. The overall satisfaction with the oral health survey ranged between 3 and 10, with an average (SD) of 7.86 (1.46). The overall satisfaction with the personal oral health record ranged between 4 and 10, with an average (SD) of 8.09 (1.28).

Conclusions

The Tooth Memo app was more efficacious than manual data entry for collecting data of oral health surveys. Dental personnel as well as general users reported high satisfaction when using this app.
Impact of added Phosphorus and Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria in Yield and Yield Attributes of Mungbean (Vigna Radiata L.)
Authors: Pandey Rekha , Pandey Dikshya , Bashyal Chetana , Gairhe Janma Jaya
Published: April 2024

Mungbean is an excellent rotational legume crop for farmers with small land holdings. Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) solubilizes phosphorus to make it available to the plant so, their integration can be a supporting factor to increase its yield and enhance soil fertility. A field experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Research Farm of the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Sciences (IAAS), Paklihawa Campus, Rupandehi during the summer season of 2023. The experiment comprised seven treatments, namely T1: Control, T2: 10 kg P2O5ha-1 , T3: 15 kg P2O5ha-1 , T4: 20 kg P2O5ha-1 , T5: 10 kg P2O5ha-1 + PSB, T6: 15 kg P2O5ha-1 + PSB, T7: 20 kg P2O5ha-1 + PSB tested in Randomized Block Design and replicated three times. Pratigya variety of Mungbean was used. The soil of the experimental field was medium in organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium before the experiment. The analysis was done in R studio software. Results revealed that all the growth and yield attributes increased significantly (p < .05) under the integrated treatment (20 kg P2O5ha-1 + PSB). The growth characters viz., plant height (61.65 ± 1.25 cm), nodule number (23.90 ± 2.22), dry matter accumulation(30.74± 1.37 g), and yield attributes like the number of pod plant-1 (26.6± 1.00), pod length (8.24 cm ± 0.05), the number of grains pod-1 (8.84 ± 0.08), biological yield (30.2 ± 0.79 mt/ha), seed yield (2.44 ± 0.05 mt/ha ) and harvest index (7.51 ± 0.18 %) increased significantly in T7 (20 kg P2O5 ha-1 PSB).
CARTELS IN THE DIGITAL ERA: CHALLENGES AND OBSTACLES
Authors: Stefanović Stefan
Published: April 2024

Cartels agreements are contracted between market participants with the aim of hindering, restricting or distorting competition. The paper first provides a definition of cartel agreements and their categorization, with reference to the most common types of cartel agreements. The author elaborates on the price algorithm, as one of the most prevalent forms of competitors' collusion in the digital domain. Given that the digital age provides infinite opportunities for contracting illegal agreements and competition distortion, the author presents the challenges and obstacles enountered by national competition authorities in various countries, and describes how they established effective mechanisms to combat cartels. In particular, the author refers to the amended German Act against Restraints of Competition, by means of which Germany became the first country in Europe to introduce radical measures in the battle against technological giants, whose economic power frequently exceeds the power of states. Finally, the author underscores the need for the states to work together to combat digital cartels.

Authors: Skotnicki Krzysztof , Domańska Aldona , Stępień Jakub
Published: April 2024

This article is an attempt to outline and explain the essence of disputes on the legal solutions adopted in the field of the functioning of the judiciary in Poland after 2015, which have been subject to critical assessment by international bodies and representatives of Polish jurisprudence. The constitutional crisis in Poland concerns the functioning of the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court, common and administrative courts, and the National Council of the Judiciary. The last one is not an organ of the judiciary but its constitutional powers concern the judiciary, and the changes which have been made in the method of appointing its members constitute one of the essential elements of the constitutional crisis in Poland. Therefore, to show the complexity of the problem more fully, the article will discuss legislative activities, the content of amendments to legal acts, and the consequences brought about by introducing defective regulations into the legal order of the Third Republic of Poland, both at the national and international level.
From Meteorite to Meteor-Wrong: Investigating a controversial specimen from Cuba
Authors: Ceballos-Izquierdo Yasmani , Nieto Codina Aurelio , Orihuela Johanset
Published: April 2024

The meteorite “Cuba”, whose type of mass is catalogued as MNCN No. 17294 (Museum of Natural Sciences, Madrid, Spain), has long been considered an official meteorite, included in the Meteoritical Society’s online database. However, the provenance and nature of this metallic object remain uncertain due to inconsistencies in its weight, density, hardness, fall location, and chemical composition. This paper argues that this specimen is not a meteorite by examining its chemical and textural properties using modern analytical techniques and by considering alternative explanations for its origin. The application of scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy has helped to confirm the terrestrial nature of the specimen. These results were compared with a specimen supposed to be a meteorite fragment, and with the other two masses labelled as “Cuba” in other museum collections.
Computational Geodynamics Laboratory: 15 years of numerical modeling and high-performance computing at the Centro de Geociencias, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
Authors: Manea Marina , Manea Vlad Constantin
Published: April 2024

The rapid development of computer technology in the last decades provided scientists with new opportunities to expand their research fields and in the same time to compress the necessary time to obtain research based scientific conclusions. This fast tendency also significantly affected the scientific discovery trend, and in many research fields we observe a transition from standard laboratory experiments to numerical experiments. In the particular research field of Earth Sciences, computational modeling constitutes a powerful predictive tool that fills a geological and geophysical data gap. The geological record covers well the Earth’s surface but is quite limited in depth, whereas geophysical information can provide depth-based information but it is limited in time to present day. Therefore, there is a large data gap in time and space that cannot be covered unless some indirect and intuitive prediction method is used. In this picture, numerical simulations come as an essential research tool. In this work, we provide a review about the research progress obtained in the last 15 years using high-performance computing at the Computational Geodynamics Laboratory at the Centro de Geociencias, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
Densidad, longitud y conectividad de fracturas en una zona de falla: el caso de la falla San Miguel de Allende
Authors: Vásquez-Serrano Alberto , Valtierra-Portillo Maximiliano , Rangel-Granados Elizabeth , Nieto-Samaniego Angel Francisco
Published: April 2024

En este trabajo se analiza la cantidad, longitud, distribución y conectividad de las fracturas asociadas con la falla San Miguel de Allende (FSMA). Para dicho análisis, se estimaron parámetros como: densidad, dimensión de caja, dimensión de fragmentación y conectividad. Nuestros resultados muestran que dentro de la zona de daño de la FSMA ocurrieron al menos tres eventos de generación de fracturas. El primero (D1) está asociado con el evento orogénico del Cretácico Tardío-Paleógeno y formó fracturas subverticales rellenas de calcita, con orientaciones NE-SW y NW-SE. Los otros dos eventos (D2 y D3) se relacionan con la actividad Cenozoica de la FSMA en el Oligoceno-Mioceno, generando fracturas subverticales abiertas y rellenas de yeso y cuarzo amorfo, con orientaciones preferenciales NE-SW, NW-SE y N-S. Las fracturas en la zona de daño son principalmente extensionales, híbridas y de cizalla. Tienen una densidad promedio de 3000 fracturas/m2, una dimensión de caja de entre 1.31 y 1.84, y una dimensión de fragmentación de entre 1.86 y 3.81. Su conectividad supera el umbral de 2 conexiones por fractura (C=2) en el diagrama ternario de nodos I, Y, X, lo cual sugiere una buena conectividad entre las fracturas, mientras que el parámetro Fm, que caracteriza la arquitectura de la zona de falla y la permeabilidad, muestra que la zona de daño de la FSMA actúa como un conducto. Con base en nuestros resultados sugerimos que la reactivación de fracturas es un mecanismo efectivo de acomodo de la deformación y de aumento de la cantidad, conectividad y permeabilidad en la zona de las zonas de daño.

IIRSA y COSIPLAN: una gramática del desarrollo para América del Sur
Authors: Irusta Silvina Mercedes
Published: April 2024

Este artículo, resultado de una investigación posdoctoral, examina la constitución de una gramática del desarrollo en Suramérica a partir de las experiencias de integración física de iirsa y cosiplan durante el periodo 2000-2015. Se propone una lectura sociosemiótica, que asume algunos elementos del análisis político posestructuralista, para dar cuenta de cómo el discurso de la infraestructura estuvo anclado en ideas sedimentadas sobre el desarrollo en la región y sus posibilidades de actualización a partir de la integración física. El estudio identifica, a partir de un corte sincrónico, dos momentos en la constitución de esa gramática: del año 2000 a 2007 se articulan una red de elementos tópicos que instituyen el momento fundacional de iirsa bajo la doxa neoliberal; y un segundo momento, de 2008 a 2015, se consolida un repertorio de sentidos bajo la doxa neodesarrollista a través de la experiencia de cosiplan, y produce un efecto de legibilidad y legitimidad de un único modo de decir y entender el desarrollo.

Agua y axis mundi en la cosmovisión andina
Authors: Limón Olvera Silvia
Published: April 2024

El agua fue un elemento primordial en el sistema religioso andino pues, por su carácter liminar, enlazaba los ámbitos celeste, terrestre y el interior de la tierra, así como el mundo de los vivos con el de los muertos, además de destacarse por su carácter purificador. La hipótesis que guía este trabajo es la existencia de un axis mundi constituido simbólicamente por el agua, la cual fue personificada en deidades que establecían una interacción entre los tres sectores del cosmos. Para ello, con un enfoque desde la antropología simbólica y la historia de las religiones, se analizaron documentos coloniales que consignaron las creencias que estuvieron vigentes en el periodo prehispánico. De esta manera, se pretende ofrecer una nueva perspectiva sobre el agua en tanto elemento sagrado en la cosmovisión andina.

¿Existe una escuela latinoamericana de estudios de las ideas y lo intelectual?
Authors: Devés Eduardo
Published: April 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en discutir si existe una o más escuelas latinoamericanasde estudios sobre las ideas ylo intelectual y, si así fuera, cuáles serían los trazos que conformarían un perfil específico, en contrastes y similitudes, con otras escuelas latinoamericanas y de otras regiones: europeas, usamericanas, asiáticas, africanas, oceánicas o subregionales.  Para avanzar en una respuesta positiva, se intenta definir algunos trazos que podrían constituir un perfil. Estos serían:1) reconocimiento de una trayectoria por generaciones; 2) ocupación sistemática por la trayectoria eidética de ALC como conjunto; 3) confección de trabajos sobre este mismo quehacer mostrando su trayectoria; 4) articulación en redes intelectuales, creando instancias de encuentro, conversación y formulación de actividades; 5) una conceptualización compartida; 6) el historicismo epistémico que inspira a muchos o todos los fundadores y continuadores; 7) una batería de preguntas de investigación que puedan mostrar lo más expresivo, fructífero o innovador de nuestra expresión;8) su ocupación exclusiva por lo escritural, dando la espalda a la oralidad; 9) la bajísima asunción de que existe un pensamiento femenino en la región; 10) una propensión a producir obras panorámicas sobre el pensamiento por países o de toda la región; 11) la asunción de que unos estudios eidéticos bien hechos deberían potenciar a la propia región.
América Latina en la historia intelectual: perspectivas desde la circulación de ideas
Authors: Canavese Mariana
Published: April 2024

La circulación internacional de las ideas constituye una de las problemáticas clave de la historia intelectual latinoamericana. Se conjugan en ella los temas de lo central y lo periférico, lo universal y lo marginal, los debates alrededor de esquemas tradicionales hechos de modelos y desviaciones, las críticas a las explicaciones dualistas en términos de originales y copias. En las contribuciones de los estudios de circulación y recepción de ideas a la historia intelectual, se reformula una geopolítica hecha de metrópolis y colonias, y se discute el rol de América Latina como mera receptora de ideas ajenas. Este artículo aborda esos aspectos y profundiza en algunos problemas teórico-metodológicos, a partir de la experiencia de una investigación sobre los usos de las propuestas del filósofo francés Michel Foucault en la región.

Identification of Urinary Tract Infection Causing Bacteria from Microbial Colony Images using Deep Learning
Authors: Babu Dr. D. R. Ramesh
Published: April 2024

Abstract: Diagnosis of microbiological and bacterial infections involves extensive procedures ofsample culture and microscopic examination. The diagnosis process begins with the identification of symptoms followed by collection of test samples in the form of blood,scraps of skin lesions, mucus, sputum, urine etc. The entire process of bacteria routine culture and bacteriological examination may take as long as 10 to 11 days. Due to the long time required for the standard process of species identification, high costs and need of human expertise it is beneficial to use methods that do not rely on conventional methods. In this work we propose a comprehensive Deep Learning basedapproach to identify urinary Tract Infection (UTI) causing bacteria from microbial colony images of bacteria cultured on agar plates. The approach explains the use of VGG-19 and Inception-v3 deep learning architectures, in bacteria identification evaluated on The Annotated Germs for Automated Recognition (AGAR) dataset, an image dataset of microbial colonies cultured on agar plates. The findings affirmed the significant potential of employing deep learning techniques for the identification of microbial colonies and their classification using Petri dish images.

Employing Machine learning methodologies such as Random Forest which is commonly used for predictive analysis, Naive Bayes, and logistic regression, we rigorously evaluate their efficacy in densely populated areas. The research implements and compares these algorithms, utilizing a confusion matrix to illustrate interclass impacts on pedestrians, vehicle or pillion passengers, and drivers or riders. Notably, the severity prediction for road accidents achieves an impressive 86.8% accuracy with Random Forest, surpassing SVM's 82%. This exemplifies the effectiveness of machine learning in enhancing accuracy and reliability, providing valuable insights for proactive road safety measures.

Abstract: This project research work has been carried out and the smart system has been designed and developed for providing essential services to bedridden patients. Recognizing the challenges faced by individual patients who are confined to their beds and often feel helpless and dependent, we have been motivated to contribute by developing a system to address their needs. Our goal was to alleviate their sense of unhappiness and dependence by creating a solution that offers assistance and support. The system autonomously transmit message to the mobile devices of concerned relatives or nurses based on the patient’s needs, using flex sensors activated by finger movements. The flex sensors detect gestures made by the user, and Arduino processes this information to generate corresponding voice output through a mobile device in the desired language. This innovative project holds significant potential to greatly benefit society by enhancing the quality of life for bedridden patients and providing them with a sense of autonomy and assistance.

Abstract: The abundance of unwanted spam messages complicates the use of Short Message Service (SMS) for efficient communication in modern times. This study investigates developing and utilizing a Naive Bayes Theorem-based Ham/Spam detection system. Because of its ease of use and effectiveness in text classification tasks, the Naive Bayes classifier is used. A collection of SMS messages labeled as” spam” or” ham” (non-spam) makes up the dataset that was used for testing and training. Preprocessing methods, including tokenization, stop-word elimination, and stemming, are employed to extract pertinent features from the text messages. The Naive Bayes classifier learns how words relate to whether they’re in a spam or non-spam message by looking at some examples from the dataset. Utilizing criteria such as accuracy, precision, and confusion matrix on a separate testing set, the classifier’s performance is evaluated. Additionally, the impact of varying parameters such as smoothing techniques and feature selection methods on the classifier’s performance is analyzed. The experimental results used to distinguishing between ham and spam messages in SMS communication

Published: April 2024

This study empirically examines the motives of Indian firms’ managers to violate Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and engage in so-called fraudulent accounting. Managers’ motivations for fraudulent accounting rather than profit adjustment are empirically analyzed using data from Indian-listed companies. The sample includes 91 firms and the period of study is March 2001 to March 2022. The tests were conducted using single and multiple variables by the empirical methods used in other studies on profit adjustment. In the case of single variables, the tests are the chi-square test of independence for dummy variables and the significance test of the difference between the mean and median for continuous variables. In the case of multiple variables, the sample firms with a dependent variable of 1 and the control firms with a dependent variable of 0 are analyzed using the logit model. The estimation is done by the robust covariance method. The findings indicate that firms that engage in fraudulent accounting are significantly worse off than other firms in terms of their financial position and operating results, have significantly higher financing needs, and significantly more frequently conduct initial public offerings (IPOs).
Horse owners' and veterinary practitioners' experiences of decision-making for critical cases of colic.
Authors: Freeman Sarah , Burrell Katie L. , Burford John , England Gary

Background: The survival of horses diagnosed with critical
colic relies on rapid and effective decision-making by owner and
veterinary practitioner. Objectives: To explore horse owners’
and veterinary practitioners’ experiences of decision-making for
critical cases of equine colic. Methods: A phenomenological
approach was taken. Individual, semi-structured telephone interviews
were conducted with 14 horse owners and 13 veterinary practitioners
(vets) who had experienced a critical decision (referral or euthanasia)
for a horse with colic. A purposive, convenience sample of participants
was recruited. Sessions explored participant’s experience of colic,
including recognition, help-seeking behaviour, and challenges. Thematic
analysis was performed on collected data. Results: Four
over-arching themes were identified; ‘head’, ‘heart’, ‘practicalities’
and ‘impact’. Owners acknowledged responsibility for their horse’s
welfare but had different perspectives to vets on the importance of
finance (‘head’). Both vets and owners described how the horse-human
relationship (‘heart’) often led to conflict during decision-making. The
vet-client relationship was influential on decision-making for both
owners and vets; involving other people in decision-making was described
both positively and negatively by participants (‘heart’).
‘Practicalities’, such as lack of preparedness, transport issues and
adverse weather conditions, were identified by both owners and vets as
barriers. Owners described a ‘rollercoaster’ of emotions after a
critical decision, with profound impacts on their mental wellbeing,
feelings of guilt, and long term changes in behaviour (‘impact’), and a
lack of support to manage these feelings. Main Limitations:
Small sample size. Conclusions: This study describes
stakeholder decision-making during critical cases of equine colic.
Factors that commonly influenced decisions included an owner’s previous
knowledge and beliefs, social pressures, logistics, and the relationship
between owner and vet. The study highlighted long term impacts on the
owner, including their management and decisions for subsequent horses.
These factors should be considered and included in shared
decision-making for critical cases of colic.
