Framing a Cosmopolitan Common Mind Approach for Global Challenges
Authors: Malook Saad
Published: May 2024

This paper posits and defends a cosmopolitan common mind approach that could be useful for resolving global challenges which cannot be resolved by individuals working independently from one another, such as achieving global peace, cleaning the environment, and improving public health. A ‘cosmopolitan common mind’ refers to intersubjective recognition of some claims across cultures or continents. This account of the cosmopolitan common mind is based on Philip Pettit’s theory of common mind and the standard account of cosmopolitanism. Pettit holds that a common mind is a shared mind. The standard account of cosmopolitanism envisages all human beings as members of the human community. This account is based on three ideals: individualism, egalitarianism, and universalism. A cosmopolitan common mind can direct collective action across cultures or continents to resolve global problems. Terrorism and climate change are global problems that are not the products of individual actions but collective actions. For instance, pollution is created by collective actions. If people all together create pollution, they all together can stop it. The problems of establishing global peace and clean ecology are similar to preventing pollution in that they are beyond the ability of any lone individual to solve. If it is not impossible, we can develop a cosmopolitan common mind to promote the good and stop the bad. In qualitative research methodology, I use the empirically informed philosophical analysis method to documentary resources, including journal papers, academic books, and proceedings of conferences and congresses.

Published: May 2024

This study is focused on figuring out the effects of family, peers, and culture on discovering self, and the perception of young people about self-actualization. The problem of the study was that young people faced barriers to understanding their selves by looking at different phenomena. Due to this, they are unable to improve their lives and encounter many difficulties such as dealing with daily life problems, understanding the perceptions of others, and conflict when dealing with society (Sarici, 2018). The current study is based on Qualitative research, the study approach was inductive.  The sample size was 10 participants and was selected through the purposive sampling method, the data was analyzed through the thematic approach. The highlighted themes focused on Youth empowerment require holistic development, providing students with confidence and balanced personalities that contribute to their community and society in the future. Problem-Based Education is the practical approach to the achievement of the above goals. The parental nurturing styles and peer support also contribute to youth empowerment and in their future.

: The increasing recreational use of ecstasy (MDMA) poses significant risks to human health, including reports of fatal renal failure due to its adverse renal effects. While MDMA-induced renal toxicity might result from systemic effects, there is also substantial evidence of direct harm to renal tissues by MDMA or its metabolites. The precise mechanisms underlying renal toxicity remain unclear. This study explored the impact of a single intraperitoneal dose of MDMA (20 mg/kg) on rat kidneys. Serum BUN and creatinine levels were evaluated to assess renal function, while TNF-α and TGF-β protein concentrations were measured using ELISA. mRNA levels of Bax, Bcl-xl, and Bcl-2 were quantified using quantitative RT-PCR. Additionally, apoptosis and histopathological changes in renal tissue were examined. Results showed a transient increase in serum BUN and creatinine in MDMA-treated rats. There were decreases in TNF-α and TGF-β levels in the renal tissue. Both pro-apoptotic Bax and anti-apoptotic Bcl-xl gene expressions were significantly reduced, whereas Bcl-2 expression and apoptosis did not show significant changes. No structural alterations were observed in the renal tissues. Overall, this study suggests that the renal adverse effects of MDMA may be mediated through the disruption of cytokine pathways, with notable reductions in TGF-β possibly linked to decreased TNF-α levels.
Clinical Characteristics and Risk Factors for Mortality in Children with Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae-Induced Bloodstream Infections
Authors: Shi Xiaohua , Qian Li
Published: May 2024

Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) is commonly found in human intestinal and respiratory tracts. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors associated with mortality in children suffering from carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP)-induced bloodstream infections. Methods: We collected clinical data from 160 children diagnosed with CRKP-induced bloodstream infections. These children were divided into two groups based on their outcomes 30 days post-infection: A death group (n = 61) and a survival group (n = 99). Clinical symptoms and outcomes were meticulously documented. Results: The death group experienced a significantly shorter hospital stay than the survival group. Additionally, higher incidence rates of sepsis, malignant tumors, renal diseases, infectious shock, surgical site infections, higher acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) scores, and elevated procalcitonin levels were observed in the death group (P < 0.05). These factors were all identified as independent risk factors for mortality among children with CRKP-induced bloodstream infections (P < 0.05). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the length of hospital stay, presence of malignant tumors, sepsis, renal diseases, APACHE II score, procalcitonin levels, infectious shock, and surgical site infections all exceeded 0.700, indicating their high predictive value for mortality. Conclusions: The mortality rate among children with CRKP-induced bloodstream infections is high. Factors such as a brief hospital stay, presence of malignant tumors, sepsis, renal diseases, infectious shock, elevated APACHE II score, and high procalcitonin levels significantly contribute to the risk of death.
Role of trace minerals in bull reproductive physiology and semen quality
Authors: Ferrer Maria , Palomares Roberto , Maldonadox-Estrada Juan
Published: May 2024

Testicular dysfunction is often associated with an imbalance in antioxidant/oxidant homeostasis, leading to negative effects of oxidative stress on germ cell proliferation, steroidogenesis, and sperm function. Trace minerals (TM) are involved in basic homeostatic and enzymatic processes like free radical detoxification, cellular respiration, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, synthesis and metabolism of proteins, and stabilization of membranes and DNA. Dietary source of TM is necessary to support these processes. Supplementing cattle with TM is nowadays a common practice to help support growth, reproduction, and immunity. This review provides information on roles of TM in bulls testicular and sperm functions, and effects of TM mineral supplementation on bull reproductive parameters.

Published: May 2024

Globally, blood donations carry the risk of transmitting infectious diseases if not properly screened, necessitating rigorous protocols to detect transfusion-transmitted infections such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and HIV. Our study focused on assessing the frequencies of HBV, HCV, and HIV, as well as donor awareness of these infections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. This observational study, which was conducted over two months at Nowshera Medical College, involved 100 volunteer blood donors and used a close-ended questionnaire to gather data on both diagnostic results and awareness. The results indicated that HBV was present in 4% of the donors, HCV was present in 2%, and no HIV was detected. Awareness levels varied, with 52% of donors aware of HBV transmission through blood transfusions, 54% recognizing the lack of a vaccine for HCV, and 74% having a greater awareness of HIV affecting the immune system. This study highlights significant gaps in donor knowledge, especially regarding transmission and prevention. These findings underscore the need for enhanced screening and donor education to reduce the risk of infections from blood transfusions. Improved public health strategies and policies are necessary to ensure the safety of the blood supply, ultimately improving health outcomes in the region. This study advocates for targeted interventions that can significantly mitigate transfusion-related risks and foster a safer blood donation environment.
Limits to Markets with Limits, an Examination of James Stacey Taylor, Market with Limits: How the Commodification of Academia Derails Debate
Authors: White Amy E. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: May 2024

In Markets with Limits: How Commodification of Academia Derails Debate, James Stacey Taylor presents a well-written book that is, in great part, a response to Peter Jaworski and Jason Brennan’s work Markets Without Limits: Moral Virtues and Commercial Interests. In the first part of Taylor’s book, he effectively illustrates the misguided nature of many of Jaworski and Brennan’s arguments. Taylor maintains that Brennan and Jaworski misinterpret the work of their “anti-commodification” opponents. After this critique, the book takes a dramatic turn as Taylor critiques the market incentives involved in academia and attempts to explain the structures that allow for inferior work, like that of Brennan and Jaworski, to be incentivized. By directly linking the two parts of the work and holding up Markets Without Limits: Moral Virtues and Commercial Interests as an example of inferior academic work, there is sometimes an undercurrent of an academic spat at play. Also, given the shift in the book and scope of both projects undertaken by Taylor, I believe this work could have been developed into several manuscripts, or a series of articles. In its current form, chapters 8–10 seem more rushed than the rest of the work and could have benefitted from additional space to be flushed out in the detail they deserve. It is this later section that I believe could benefit the most from revision and expansion.
Prudent Forbearance in the Public Sphere
Authors: Antolic-Piper Pia , Piper Mark ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: May 2024

Much of the discussion surrounding freedom of speech relates to the importance of promoting speech. On this approach, the more speech the better, both for individuals and for democratic society. This line of thought, typically associated with the work of J. S. Mill, has obvious merit. Yet unrestrained speech also poses perils to individuals and society. In this paper, we argue for two theses: (1) Examination of On Liberty shows that Mill in fact supported the notion that forbearance in public speech is ethically justified (albeit not legally enforceable), and (2) Anyone supporting utilitarian principles should give serious consideration to the possibility that prudent forbearance in public speech is a civic virtue. In other words, a reasonable concern for free speech as an integral part of social well-functioning should lead us to temper our manners of expression in circumstances when this is appropriate, and when a policy of complete license in public expression would likely undermine both the well-functioning of the society of which we are a part and the free exchange of ideas that free speech principles were intended to foster in the first place.

Published: May 2024

The early food demands of humans during stone age are met by foraging and hunting. Later there is a transformation which resulted in the collection of seeds and growing plant species. This slowly resulted in the system called agriculture. The enormous rise in population during 1950s had resulted in the food crisis. The green revolution in agriculture enhanced crop yields to greater extent which ultimately resulted in self-sufficiency of food grains. But again, the pace of the rising population had been picked and the percentage rise in production levels had been gradually saturated. In order to feed the future populace, there is need for transformation in agriculture. The recent advance in science resulted in application of artificial intelligence in many sectors, but exploitation of its potential in the field of agriculture is still in progress. Artificial intelligence can be used in carrying out several operations starting from seeding, irrigation, detection of diseases, spraying, regular monitoring of crop growth, harvesting, drone technology with several applications and dissemination of information. The collective functioning of these ai based technologies can transform agriculture due to which the Ai is considered as a boon for farmers

Using a biometric system, human individuals are identified based on observable or bodily characteristics. Progressive research on face recognition is being done in the area of computer perception and design confirmation. Numerous more unexpected difficulties have emerged as a result of the image sensor field's ongoing progress. How to do more accurately to identify the focus region for multi-focus face identification continues to be the major challenge. The key issue in this is taking into consideration images that had "disparate dimensions" and "disparate aspect ratio" in a single frame, avoiding the progression to attain or surpass human-level accuracy in human facial aspect like noise in face pictures, defying lighting conditions, and defying posture ratio. Several studies have been published in face discernment, spotting, and protection acknowledgment

Long term Evolution (LTE) is a noteworthy undertaking of third Generation Partnership Project, as a move from the third generation (3G) to the fourth generation(4G), has accomplished incredible limit and fast of cellular phone systems without uncertainty. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is principal procedure utilized in fourth Generation Long Term Evolution (LTE). Inter Carrier Interference (ICI) and Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) are both problems occur in OFDM due to the loss of subcarrier orthogonality and to defeat this issue utilization of Cyclic Prefixing (CP) is required, which utilizes 20% of available data. usually, OFDM is executed utilizing FFT, then again OFDM can be implemented utilizing orthogonal wavelets. Regardless of the way that are execution of the OFDM structure absolutely a couple inconvenience. One of the genuine drawbacks is the high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) which realize broad measure of sub-transporters that make controls for possible applications. Partial Transmit Sequence and clipping are some PAPR diminish techniques that have been proposed to defeat this issue

In today‘s time, the ecological condition and the energy supply has become critical around the world. The important reason for the growth and application of renewable energy sources is the limitation of non-renewable sources. The most ideal nonrenewable energy source is solar energy. The important feature in solar energy consumption patterns is photovoltaic power generation, but the output of photovoltaic power plant is irregular and changes frequently. The current work introduces an empirical ground framework for the analysis of uncertainty and forecasting of photovoltaic (PV) power generation. The energy system has momentarily affected by the photovoltaic (PV) generation, when PV infiltration rises to a very huge level since this source has high inconsistency and uncertainty, to analyse our data smoother we developed a method to remove the periodic component. We can regulate the ambiguity of PV data by discarding the periodic effect of the sun in the sky. To determine predictable low-frequency components in the system operation we have used the least squares method. The least square method can be applied to valuation the probabilistic characteristics of PV generation at many sites on the earth concerning the different solar radiation due to changing solar position, PV generation has distinct probability distribution at different locations on the earth. The nature of the solar position is deterministic and periodic. By observing the data precisely to characterize the uncertainty we can abolish the effect of periodicity. In power generation the forecasting of the output of photovoltaic power is essential and the forecasting is necessary for timely electric power distribution and to boost the authenticity of electrical energy system operation, this problem can be solicited with the help of artificial neural network (ANN) and the wavelet decomposition (WD). To address the voltage-current relationship a hybrid model is created which is based on an artificial neural network (ANN) and wavelet decomposition (WD), the climatic variables and solar irradiance are the input for this hybrid model. Wavelet decomposition is used to separate the required useful information from the disturbance in the PV power plant output. Based on decomposed output (in WD) models are created with the artificial neural network and then the output of the artificial neural network model is reconstructed in the forecasted photovoltaic plant power output. Here in this approach, we compare the traditional forecasting method which is based on an artificial neural network (ANN). Based on this we can analyse the discrepancy of renewable energy sources with different characteristics (i.e., non-stationary) and ambiguous components. In this approach, the nonlinear PV behaviour is captured by the AI technique and wavelet transform shows the impact on ill-behaved of photovoltaic time series data.

The development of the economy cannot proceed without the presence of derivatives markets. Derivatives markets feature risk management approaches. The value of a marketplace can be derived from an underlying asset through the use of what are known as derivative markets. On the market for derivatives, there are three types of participants: hedgers, speculators, and arbitragers. Speculators are individuals who try to make a profit by making risky bets. Financing derivatives are the instruments that are utilized most frequently in the financial sector. Hedging is the most important purpose that derivatives serve. Utilizing the futures or options markets in hedging helps to reduce overall market risk, The market for derivatives is expanding at a quicker rate in India than it is everywhere in the world. There are two types of marketplaces for derivatives: regulated exchanges and over-the-counter markets (OTC). The four most common kinds of derivative contracts are known as forwards, futures, options, and swaps respectively. The use of leverage, which is common in financial instruments such as derivatives, enhances the potential for both risk and return. In recent years, derivatives markets have become increasingly significant as a direct result of the important role they play in the expansion of the economy

Whusul Ilallah As a Methodology for Determining the Beginning of Ramadan and The End of Ramadan of The Aolian Jamaat According to The Perspective of Islamic Law
Authors: Salim Agus , Ridwan Ridwan , Aziz Jamal Abdul
Published: May 2024

This research discusses the methodology of determining the beginning and end of Ramadan practiced by the Aoliah community. The methodology for determining the beginning and end of Ramadan was actually established by Prophet Muhammad through an authentic hadith stating, "Start fasting when you see the crescent moon and stop fasting when you see the crescent moon, and if it is cloudy, then complete the count of thirty days." This hadith ensures that the methodology for determining the beginning and end of Ramadan is through ru'yatu al hilal or sighting of the crescent moon. However, in practical settings, this hadith becomes biased in the community, with some using the methodology of ru'yatu al hilal, hisab, Whusul Ilallah, and others. One of the methods for determining the beginning and end of the month of Ramadan is through 'calling upon Allah' directly or Whusul Ilallah, as expressed by Ibn Hajar, a leader of the Aoliah community from Gunungkidul, Istima Region, Yogyakarta. This statement sparked controversy in the community. Therefore, in this article, researchers attempt to analyze the method of Whusul Ilallah according to Ibn Hajar as a means of determining the beginning and end of Ramadan. The research methodology in this article employs normative empirical analysis, describing empirical facts and then analyzing them using religious norms in the form of the Quran, hadith, and fiqh related to the determination of the beginning of Ramadan.
