La vulnerabilidad de las tecnologías biométricas en la autenticación
Authors: Vásquez Cerna Jair Joel
Published: December 2023

El avance tecnológico y la creciente necesidad de proteger datos sensibles han incrementado la importancia de la biometría en el ámbito de la seguridad. Su aplicación se ha extendido a dispositivos móviles y la gestión de identidades, pero a medida que se integra en la vida cotidiana y en el entorno empresarial, surgen desafíos en términos de privacidad y seguridad. Por lo tanto, es fundamental evaluar las posibles vulnerabilidades en la autenticación biométrica. Para llevar a cabo esta evaluación, se analizaron documentos almacenados en diversas bases de datos, incluyendo IEEE Xplore, SciELO, ScienceDirect y Scopus. Se aplicaron criterios de inclusión y exclusión, lo que permitió la selección de 20 artículos. Los hallazgos identificaron varias amenazas, como la reconstrucción de huellas dactilares y ataques de presentación, así como soluciones propuestas, como representaciones en 3D y sistemas de verificación. Además, se resalta la necesidad de contar con tecnologías de detección de ataques y regulaciones éticas. Por último, se enfatiza la importancia de garantizar la seguridad y la privacidad en los sistemas de autenticación biométrica, lo que impulsa la investigación constante para mantenerse alineadas con las amenazas en constante evolución.

Published: December 2023

Malaysia landscape architecture projects frequently face several difficulties that expose their projects to a high degree of challenges. These challenges will become project issues that eventually affect the achievement of the project objectives. Understanding the factors of project objective underachievement is essential for project practitioners to manage and control their projects in the future. Thus, this study aims to investigate factors to project objectives underachievement in the Malaysian landscape architecture project. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with twenty-four landscape architect practitioners from Klang Valley. The interview information was analysed using the content and thematic analysis method. The snowball effect from project challenges to project issues and stakeholders’ factors causes underachievement of the landscape architecture project objective. Managing the project affects the organisation’s operational and cultural objectives directly, whereas the project outcome issues indirectly jeopardise the achievement of the project’s business objectives. The finding will be a lesson learnt for project practitioners to evaluate their current project management practice and recommend issue and stakeholder management applications, enabling the achievement of project objectives.

Published: December 2023

This study examines the sociability practices implemented by male and female students in the Islamic Student Housing (ISH) of an Indonesian private university. Being a key component of Indonesian culture, sociability is accepting and respecting the presence of others in one’s environment.
This culture is viewed as a component of local values that must be incorporated as a lesson for ISH residents. Male and female senior students are asked to engage in Focus Group Discussions to discuss their experiences living in a shared bedroom. The data are being analysed qualitatively with Atlas.ti to highlight the intercorrelated codes on the establishment of sociability mechanisms among residents. During their time in ISH, students engage in everyday activities that foster local values in sociability and strengthen their social connections with their roommates and housemates.
The investigation revealed that the practices of sociability towards social connectivity is shaped not only by the spaces but also by the involvement of activities and rules applied. This study contributes to our understanding of spatial in architecture, notably the locality aspect of Indonesian sociability as its essential value.
Revisión Sistemática y Metaanálisis de Ensayos Randomizados Controlados con Placebos/Procedimiento Simulado, sobre La Estimulación de La Médula Espinal para El Dolor Neuropático.

Published: December 2023

Los objetivos de esta revisión han sido identificar, sistemáticamente, la evidencia actual de ensayos con placebo aleatorios controlados (RCTs-Randomised Controlled Trials) de la estimulación de la médula espinal (SCS- Spinal Cord Stimulation por sus siglas en inglés) para el dolor neuropático y emprender un metaanálisis con el objeto de investigar la efectividad de SCS comparada con un grupo de estudio controlado. Se realizaron búsquedas en bases de datos electrónicas desde el inicio hasta enero de 2019 para RCTs y SCS, utilizando un control con placebo. Las búsquedas identificaron 8 ensayos con placebo aleatorios controlados de estimulación de la médula espinal aptos para el dolor neuropático. El metaanálisis muestra una reducción estadísticamente significativa en la intensidad del dolor durante los períodos de tratamiento de estimulación activa, en contraste con los períodos de tratamiento controlado, con una diferencia media agrupada de 21.15 (intervalo de confianza de 95% 21.75 a 20.55, P 50.001) sobre una escala de 10 puntos. Un análisis basado en un estudio a nivel de un subgrupo sugiere mayor efecto del tratamiento en RCTs utilizando un control con placebo (definido como estudios en los que el dispositivo estaba inactivo y al menos uno de los procedimientos del estudio fue diferente entre los grupos) en comparación con una simulación controlada (definido como que todos los procedimientos del estudio son iguales entre los grupos, incluido el comportamiento del dispositivo SCS). Nuestros hallazgos demuestran evidencia limitada de que la SCS es efectiva en la reducción de la intensidad de dolor en contraste con una intervención con placebo. Nuestros análisis sugieren que la magnitud del efecto del tratamiento varía a lo largo de los ensayos y, en parte, depende de la calidad del enmascaramiento al paciente y la minimización de los efectos remanentes. En los ensayos basados en SCS se requieren informes mejorados y mayor investigación metodológica sobre los enfoques de placebo y enmascaramiento. Adicionalmente, introducimos una diferenciación entre los conceptos de placebo y simulación que podrían ser generalizables a ensayos que evalúen tratamientos quirúrgicos o médicos.

Published: December 2023

El síndrome edematoso generalizado o anasarca está presente secundario a un desequilibrio de la homeostasis hídrica, electrolítica y osmolar del organismo, En el adulto el estado de anasarca es más frecuente secundario a insuficiencia cardiaca, en pediatría, el edema que se generaliza está asociado con más frecuencia a bajo aporte proteico, baja síntesis de proteínas o debido a perdida de proteínas de origen gastrointestinal o renal. La disminución de la presión oncótica plasmática genera fuga de líquidos a compartimientos intersticiales de forma generalizada y produce edema. Existen múltiples patologías y mecanismos para la producción del edema generalizado; el conocimiento de la fisiopatología de su desarrollo permite un análisis clínico, de laboratorio y de gabinete que orientan al diagnostico. La infección por citomegalovirus es una causa poco frecuente de edema generalizado, reconocer esta entidad y llegar a un adecuado diagnóstico diferencial es el objetivo de esta revisión.
The Local Wisdom to Innovative Utilization of Banana: Wall Panel Decoration from Banana Tree Fibers to Strengthen the Grassroots Economy of Ramdang Community, Singhanakhon District, Songkhla Province
Authors: Damnuirawat Panupannadda , Waedolorh Rohana
Published: December 2023

This study aimed at improving and developing the existing capital of the community by using local wisdom to produce innovative products. The concept of this study is to develop agricultural waste into innovative products that can be produced by the community by using simple tools and processes. This is in order to create added value to the agricultural waste. The research methodology and experiment methods are as follows: 1) survey of the potential and resource utilization of Ram Daeng Community; 2) exploring the needs for innovations derived from the banana trees; 3) study and experiment on the utilization of banana trees; 4) strength test of banana sheath fibers; 5) community participation; and 6) design and presentation of complete creative works. This study examined local knowledge, production, and preservation processes of banana ropes, as well as understanding the problems and solutions for the community by conducting a survey of the needs of 145 consumers from 7 occupations. The results obtained were used in the development and creation of decorative wall panels from banana sheath fibers. The results showed that 2.5 cm. banana sheath fibers were suitable and in line with local wisdom in producing banana fibers. However, the laboratory results revealed that banana fibers had low elongation and strength and were not suitable for compression. They were only suitable for interior wall decoration. The lessons learned from the community participation process and the limitation of the length of the material were used in the design of 30 x 40 cm decorative wall panels. Six wall panels were arranged into a larger panel of 60 x 120 cm. In addition, the calculation, measurement, and evaluation of the return on investment of banana fiber wall panels revealed that the cost was 88.64 baht per panel. The selling price of a banana fiber wall panel can be 150 baht. The banana fiber wall panels should be sold in packages of 6 panels per box, which is the standard size of construction materials sold in the market.
Kırım Tatarları tarafından İstanbul’da kurulan bir cemiyet: Tatar Cemiyet-i Hayriyesi
Authors: Kumru Coşkun
Published: December 2023

XIX. yüzyıldan itibaren Osmanlı Devleti’ne yapılan göçlerin önemli bir çoğunluğunu Kırım Tatarları teşkil etmiştir. Hemen her sınıftan çok sayıda Kırımlı göçmen Türkiye’nin muhtelif şehirlerine yerleşmiştir. Kırım Tatarlarının eğitim ve kültür alanındaki Osmanlı etkisi giderek kendini göstermiş ve Kırımlı gençler çeşitli cemiyetler kurmaya başlamışlardır. Tatar Cemiyet-i Hayriyesi, II. Meşrutiyet sonrasında Kırım Tatarlarının İstanbul’da kurdukları bir cemiyettir. Kırım Tatarları arasında her türden dayanışmayı ve yardımlaşmayı sağlamak temel misyon olarak belirlenmiştir. Cemiyet uzun yıllar siyasi olmayan bir çizgi benimsemiştir. Cemiyet üyeleri Kırım’daki güncel gelişmeler ve siyasi-milli bazı kavramlardan uzak kalmışlardır. Cemiyetin ele aldığı “Tatarlık” kavramı ise muğlak bir ifadeden öteye geçememiştir. Faaliyet kapsamı Osmanlı Devleti’ndeki Tatar muhacirlerle sınırlı kalan Tatar Cemiyet-i Hayriyesinin aktif bir politik örgütlenmeye sahip olamadığı da görülmüştür. Çalışmamızda Tatar Cemiyet-i Hayriyesinin amaçları ve faaliyetleri tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
Association among Omani Gross Capital Formation, Final Consumption Expenditure, Exports, and Imports
Authors: Mahdi Dr. Abubakar El-Sidig Ali A
Published: December 2023

Purpose – The primary pursuit of this investigation is to examine the link between Omani gross capital formation GCF (investment) as a dependent variable and imports, exports, and final consumption expenditure FCE as independent variables from 1990 to 2021 and how these variables impact Omani GCF behavior. Method– The co-integration model’s auto regressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds test is employed to achieve this investigation. The study scoped over 33 years, starting from 1990 and ending in 2021, entirely considered secondary data sourced from the World Bank (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NE.GDI.TOTL.CD?locations=OM),(https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NE.IMP.GNFS.CD?locations=OM-AD),(https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NE.EXP.GNFS.CD?locations=OM-AD), and (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NE.CON.TOTL.CD?locations=OM-AD). Findings – Results of the statistical analysis demonstrated that, after checking the value of F-statistic and comparing it with I1 Bound, the study concluded that there is a relationship between the independent variables and dependent one, and by conducting the Bounds Test (Long run relationship between variables), its outcomes say that there is a positive long-run link between imports and GCF and a negative long-run exists between FCE and GCF, whereas there is only a negative short-run between exports and GCF. Definition: According to the World Bank, the gross capital formation (formerly gross domestic investment) contains outlays on additions to the economy’s fixed assets with net alterations in the inventories’ level. Fixed assets consist of: Land advancements (fences, ditches, drains, and on). Plant, machinery, and equipment acquisitions. The roads’ construction, railways, and the like, containing hospitals, offices, schools, private residential dwellings, and commercial and industrial premises Inventories are stocks of goods firms hold to satisfy temporary or unanticipated oscillations in production or sales and “work in progress.” As per the 1993 SNA, net acquisitions of valuables are also considered capital formation.
Magnetic field simulations of the GOLEM tokamak via the NICE code
Authors: Pokorny Matyas , Macha Petr , Svoboda Vojtech
Published: December 2023

In this paper, the direct and inverse equilibrium computation mode of the NICE code is put into operation for the case of the GOLEM tokamak. This enables, for the first time, simulations of GOLEM's magnetic field. The computation mode put into operation simulates the magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium of a tokamak plasma based on a given plasma position or given currents in poloidal magnetic field coils. In order to set up NICE, a virtual model of GOLEM is introduced that includes axially symmetrical approximations of GOLEM's iron core and primary transformer coils. The results of NICE simulations are compared with experimental measurements, and it is shown that NICE simulations produce plasma equilibrium configurations typical for GOLEM. Nevertheless, a more detailed validation of GOLEM's virtual model and of the results of NICE simulations is to be performed in the future.
The Greek Genocide and Smyrna’s Catastrophe: An Overview
Authors:   International Hellenic University, Malkidis Theofanis
Published: December 2023

Genocide is a crime against humanity which should be universally condemned. Regardless of the time that passes or the scope of the crime itself, there should be no reduction of the importance of a crime against humanity or the responsibility of those who commit genocide. The 20th century is, without a doubt, an era where the crime of genocide appeared and reappeared consistently. The Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian Genocide and the Holocaust, constituted important genocides perpetrated by illiberal governments that violated numerous human rights, taking millions of lives and eliminating the history and civilization of cities dating backthousands of years. From World War II onwards, “genocide” was coined as a criminal form of behaviour that constitutes one of the most violent crimes one could be charged with. The Greek Genocide, one of the first genocides of the 20th century, is one of the big crimes against humanity that remains unpunished to this day since a large part of a nation that lived on the territory of the Ottoman Empire was murdered. The Smyrna Catastrophe of 1922 constituted the symbolic end of the Greek Genocide.

državnih i institucionalnih odgovora na likvidnost malih i srednjih poduzeća u Republici Hrvatskoj tijekom pandemije COVID-19
Authors: Kvasina Antonija
Published: December 2023

Pandemija COVID-19 negativno je utjecala na zdravstvo i ekonomiju na globalnoj razini što je dovelo do značajnih turbulencija u poslovnom sektoru. Pandemija je stvorila novi okvir i kreirala nove izazove vršeći pritisak na poslovanje u svim sektorima, izravno utječući na prihode, profitabilnost i likvidnost. Likvidnost poduzeća je iznenada postala izazov poslovanja za poduzeća diljem svijeta, a osiguravanje likvidnosti je postao ključni čimbenik preživljavanja poduzeća. U svrhu očuvanja stabilnosti gospodarstva tijekom pandemije COVID-19, vlade brojnih zemalja, pa tako i Republike Hrvatske, kreirale su politike usmjerene na ublažavanje njenih posljedica na gospodarstvo. Između ostalih, pružene su državne potpore koje su direktno bile usmjerene na održavanje likvidnosti mikro, malih i srednjih poduzeća (MSP) u Republici Hrvatskoj, koja su predstavljala najugroženiju skupinu. Poduzeća koja posluju u područjima i u djelatnostima koja imaju značajnu ovisnost o turizmu su bila posebno pogođena, doživljavajući najintenzivniji negativni utjecaj na poslovanje. Cilj rada je dati pregled postojećih istraživanja u kontekstu utjecaja pandemije COVID-19 na poslovanje i istraživanja o učinkovitosti državnih potpora za vrijeme pandemije. Također, ovim istraživanjem se željela ispitati učinkovitost državnih potpora za očuvanje likvidnosti na likvidnost poduzeća u Republici Hrvatskoj koja posluju u djelatnosti pružanja smještaja te pripreme i usluživanja hrane. Rezultati su pokazali kako su mjere za održavanje likvidnosti bile učinkovite pošto su poduzeća koja su koristila navedene mjere imala značajno manje probleme s likvidnošću naspram onih koja nisu. Daljnja istraživanja bi se trebala usmjeriti na ispitivanje učinka svih državnih potpora u RH na likvidnost poduzeća za vrijeme pandemije COVID-19.

COVID-19 pandemija imala je značajan utjecaj na bankarski sektor u Hrvatskoj, uključujući i OTP banku, jednu od vodećih banaka na tržištu. U ovom radu istražuje se specifični utjecaj pandemije na kvalitetu portfelja hrvatskog bankovnog sustava s primjerom analize portfelja OTP banke, uz naglasak na ključne smjernice i reakcije banke na izazove pandemije. Pandemija je prouzrokovala ekonomske neizvjesnosti, gubitak radnih mjesta i smanjenje prihoda klijenata. To je rezultiralo povećanim rizikom od nenaplativih kredita u portfelju hrvatskih banaka, posebno u sektorima koji su najviše pogođeni, poput turizma i maloprodaje. OTP banka brzo je reagirala na pandemiju i ponudila klijentima opcije moratorija na otplatu kredita kako bi im olakšala financijske terete tijekom krize. Ovo je privremeno smanjilo pritisak na klijente i banku, ali istovremeno odgodilo procjenu stvarnih rizika u portfelju. Hrvatske banke, uključujući i OTP banku, pojačale su rezervacije za moguće buduće gubitke od nenaplativih kredita kako bi se bolje pripremila za izazove. Također su provodile stres testiranja kako bi procijenile kako bi se različiti scenariji mogli odraziti na njihov portfelj. Pandemija je potaknula veću potrebu za digitalnim bankarstvom i online uslugama. OTP banka je uložila napore u daljnju digitalizaciju poslovanja kako bi osigurala kontinuitet i bolju uslugu klijentima tijekom pandemije i nakon nje. Nadalje, OTP banka surađivala je s regulatornim tijelima i pratila smjernice Hrvatske narodne banke kako bi osigurala stabilnost i usklađenost s propisima tijekom krize.

Published: December 2023

Croatia is an important and widely recognizable tourist destination. The importance of tourism in Croatia is manifested in many aspects, and the share of income from tourism in BDP in Croatia is around 20%. The most numerous guests in Croatia are foreign guests, mostly from Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Italy and Poland. In this paper, foreign tourism demand in the Republic of Croatia was analyzed and impact of five selected variables on foreign tourism demand is estimated: gross domestic product of countries from which tourists come from, prices in Croatia, prices in competing countries, distance between countries and accommodation capacities. The analysis was carried out for the nine-year time period from 2010 to 2018 based on data for 32 countries from which tourists come, and OLS model, a panel model with fixed effects and a panel model with random effects were estimated. The adequacy of the model was tested with the Hausman test, Breusch-Pagan Lagrange test and F-test. A panel model with Driscoll-Kraay standard errors was estimated. The estimated model showed that the gross domestic product of the countries from which the tourists arrive has a statistically significant and positive influence on the foreign tourism demand in Croatia, while at a significance level of 10% the accommodation capacity in Croatia has a positive and statistically significant influence. The impact of other variables taken into account was not statistically significant.
Existence of original drug molecules in ultra high dilutions
Authors: Chattopadhyay Dr Sanjib
Published: December 2023

Abstract:

 

Background: Some workers postulated that homeopathic medicines have got some alterations of hydrogen bonded network in water molecules for their activity, but according to others the original drug molecule remains present as nanoparticles. Objective: To prove experimentally whether traces of medicine molecules are present in ultra high dilution and determine its apparent cause. Materials and Methods: To detect existence of Copper ion in 5 ultra high dilutions (6c, 30c, 200c, 1000c and 10000c) in Cuprum metallicum were subjected to Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. An experiment was also set up to determine how one can obtain trails of original molecules in highly diluted solutions beyond Avogadro’s limit where a solution of copper sulfate was successively diluted decimally in three different ways: NSW (Non-”Succussed” Water), SW(“Succussed” Water), SWE (“Succussed” Water with 50% ethanol) and was studied by UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. Result: Existence of a Copper ion was found asymptotically decreasing through all the five dilutions. In the second experiment it was observed that in case of NSW solution the Optical Density (OD) reaches to non-detectable (ND) range earlier, but for SW and SWE later. Conclusion: Some sorts of non-homogeneity established in “succussed” alcoholic dilutions due to fall of dielectric constant. With the increase of dilution more proportion of solute molecules in the form of nanoparticles covered by solvent layers become transferred to the next serial dilution. Drugs, tightly packed by ethanol (‘nanoparticles’) easily enter inside cell, bring symptoms to the “provers” and cure patients as well when applied in minute dose.
Telemedicine and homeopathy united for wellness and health in Brazilian veterinary.
Authors: Alexandre Prospero
Published: December 2023

The objective of this work is to argue about the possibility of remote work and the utilization of communication technology, enabling Tele-veterinary homeopathy to emerge as a specialized field for prescribing medical materials, primarily in cases of behavioral changes. However, the institutions regulating veterinary telemedicine and veterinary medical activities assert that face-to-face care remains the gold standard for practicing veterinary medical procedures. Teleconsultation is only permissible in cases where there exists a prior Veterinary-Animal-Responsible Relationship (RPVAR) that has been established through face-to-face interactions and duly registered.The administration of medicines is considered safe, as they are non-toxic and devoid of side effects due to their ultra-diluted and dynamized formulation, exclusive to this scientific modality. Furthermore, when recommended by a professional specialist and facilitated through telemedicine resources, the continuity of patient care and monitoring will face no hindrances. It is important to emphasize that even though the prescribed medications for veterinary patients are safe, they should be vigilantly monitored by a specialist. This monitoring involves assessing the expected symptoms and effects associated with the prescription, allowing the specialist to intervene and decide whether to modify or continue with the chosen medication.

Viscum album (VA) preparations of different host trees have been used for the treatment of different diseases with mainly on cancer1 and cardiovascular diseases2. However, the mechanisms related to the mistletoe hypotensive potential are poorly investigated. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the cytotoxicity, the Na+/K+ ATPase activity and the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generation induced by winter and summer Viscum album mother tinctures (TMVA), as well as by their potentized samples (6cH, 12cH and 30cH), in porcine proximal tubule renal cells (LLC-PK1). For the cytotoxicity evaluation, after 24h of treatment with TMVA (from Quercus robur, Malus domestica, Ulmus carpinifolia, Pinus sylvestris and Abies alba), at concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 2.5% (V/V), the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) was added. The same procedure was done with the potentized samples, after systematic control evaluation, in which the dynamized water was blindly tested. For the Na+/K+ ATPase and ROS assays, cells were treated only for 30 min, using 1.5% (V/V) of TMVA of Malus domestica, Pinus sylvestris, and Abies alba and their respective homeopathic potencies. The MTT assay showed a dose-dependent cytotoxicity related only to the summer Quercus Robur TMVA (p<0.05). Since for the enzymatic and ROS assays cells need to be metabolically active, this TMVA was excluded from these experimental evaluations. Regarding the ROS generation (n=5), no significant effects were triggered neither by TMVA nor by the potentized samples (p>0.05). The Na+/K+ ATPase evaluation (n=9) indicated no enzymatic activity alterations at 30min of incubation time. Further experiments are under development with higher incubation cellular times (24 and 48 h) to confirm the Na+/K+ ATPase effects induced by potentized and non-potentized V. album samples. Additionally, the gene expression of Na+/K+ ATPase, by western blot, and the ultrastructural cellular aspects, using transmission electron microscopy, will be performed.

Melanoma is responsible for most skin cancer deaths. It has a high metastatic potential, complex treatment, and a hopeless prognosis. Viscum album extract (Va) is a complementary treatment in cancer, with in vitro and in vivo cytotoxic effects on different tumor types. However, its ultra-diluted homeopathic preparations' effects and mechanisms on cancer cells need further study. Thus, the aim of present work was to investigate cytokine profile and ROs production of melanoma cells after treatment with ultradiluted VA collected from host tree Abies alba (VaAa) and Quercus rubur (VaQr)during Swiss summer. For this, potencies of Va in different homeopathic scales were prepared using mother tincture (MT) from VaAa and VaQr submitted to homeopathic ethanolic maceration and then a subsequent dynamization process. Then, B16F0 melanoma cells cultivated in 24-well plates were treated with MT or 12DH, 200CH or 5LM potencies of VaAa or VaQr for 24, 48 or 72 hours. After these periods, culture supernatants were collected to assess the levels of MCP-1, INF-γ, TNF-α, IL-10, IL-12p70 and IL-6 cytokines and, ROs production. Results demonstrated significant reduction of MCP-1 and ROs levels in B16F10 melanoma cells treated with Va (VaQr, preferentially) at 12DH or 5LM potencies when compared to untreated or carboplatin-treated cells. In conclusion, we demonstrated for the first time, the in vitro effects of Va potencies prepared in different homeopathic scales in relation to cytokines and ROs production in cell melanoma cells.

The 36th Edition of GIRI was carried out under the theme: “GROUNDBREAKING SCIENCE: HOMEOPATHY AND THE FUTURE OF GLOBAL HEALTH” and provided a single opportunity for the participants to exchange scientific experiences, discuss new and standard research protocols, make new friendships, and gather the most important researchers involved with basic and/or clinical homeopathic research worldwide. The multidisciplinary feature of the GIRI meetings fits the concept of global health, since homeopathy favors the interconnection among people, animals, plants, and their environment, promoting its sustainable use in agriculture. The meeting aimed to examine the growing body of evidence around homeopathy and consider its role in addressing many urgent concerns, such as infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance, aging populations, multimorbidity, polypharmacy, sustainability, and environmental factors, with special focus on the emerging evidence that homeopathic products may help mitigate the impact of climate change on agriculture – making plants and animals more bio-resilient – while also reducing the need for agricultural chemicals known to cause environmental harm.
Access-based land value appreciation for assessing project benefits
Authors: Wang Yadi , Levinson David
Published: December 2023

The traditional mobility-oriented travel-time saving benefit assessment method has been repeatedly questioned for numerous intrinsic flaws, motivating the search for alternative benefit assessment approaches. Although a wealth of literature confirms the capitalization effect of access benefits induced by transport improvements to land or real estate value, the access-based land value uplift method hasn’t yet been widely recognized and employed as an official tool assisting transport decision-making. The present paper collects 136 empirical studies and aims to disentangle the obstacles hindering the promotion of the access-based assessment method by systematically reviewing methodological design, the access metrics used, and the target real estate sub-markets or land use types upon which access benefits are quantified. First, it was found that almost half of the sampled studies just investigated the general effects of transport operation on real estate prices without incorporating sufficient temporal and locational considerations, thereby failing to isolate project-specific incremental impacts. Second, while the hedonic pricing model remains the most popular model, a trend towards embracing more advanced modelling techniques such as spatial lag, spatial error, and Difference-in-Differences (DID) models to control for bias caused by spatial dependence has been observed. Third, Euclidean distance and distance buffer rings are the most widely used operational measures of access. Primal access measures covering the number of opportunities available at a destination and travel impedance are recommended. Last, over 86% of sampled empirical studies target the residential real estate market. The lack of non-residential land uses in the literature presents a significant research gap that should be addressed.

Testamenty chorych Szpitala Świętego Ducha w Rzymie w XVIII-XIX wieku
Authors: Surdacki Marian
Published: December 2023

Ufundowany w 1198 r. przez Innocentego III największy w Europie Szpital Świętego Ducha w Rzymie, a prowadzony przez zakon o tym samym wezwaniu, stał się modelem dla innych szpitali w świecie chrześcijańskim. Pełnił dwie funkcje: przytułku dla podrzutków oraz lecznicy dla chorych. Tematem rozważań są testamenty, spisywane przez chorych w Szpitalu Świętego Ducha, a sporządzane z reguły w obliczu ciężkiej choroby. Spisywał je w obecności świadków archiwista szpitalny, a gdy nie był obecny, czynił to dyżurujący spowiednik lub inny kapłan. Testamenty miały stałą konwencję, odnoszącą się tak do duszy i ciała. Ta pierwsza była zawsze w centrum. Testatorzy podkreślali, że duszę poświęcają Bogu, zaś ciało ma być pogrzebane w skromnej ceremonii na cmentarzu szpitalnym. W aktach ostatniej woli często występowały zapisy na cele charytatywne, również na szpital.
Utilizing the Appropriate Technology Paradigm in Industrial Design: A Literature Review
Authors: Aulia Wildan , Santosa Imam , Ihsan Muhammad , Nugraha Adhi
Published: December 2023

This article uses the appropriate technology paradigm in design activities as problem finding and internal potential tracking as the basis for design solutions. Appropriate technology is based on the real needs of the community, not on technological developments. This activity emphasizes how to provide a solution to a problem in community by bridging it to the appropriate technology. Its application is contextual according to the local conditions of the community. This principle is still relevant in relation to today's issues which view community diversity as an internal potential in dealing with broader problems. One of these can be seen from the principles of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which view development based on local conditions and culture as motivation. The contextuality of problems in the community and how to approach them underlies the general framework of this article by noting that sharing knowledge with the community is a way to understand their internal potential. This article attempts to offer the fit design term based on the appropriate technology paradigm by trying to define the key concepts of the term. This article uses the systematic literature review (SLR) method with related articles on appropriate technology practices from the ScienceDirect and MDPI databases. The concept is built based on the understanding that specific problems in the community are contextual in nature, oriented to local management, and optimize the diversity of the community and environmental potentials. Thus, the notion of appropriateness in this article is not interpreted narrowly in the context of tools, but rather leads to appropriateness. The key concept offered is that the design must be appropriate to the situation, related to certain circumstances, compatible, acceptable, and strengthening the community, and must be in accordance with the required objectives.
