Authors: Sun Hae Jung
Published: December 2023

Purpose: To describe a simple and least invasive surgical method of transscleral fixation of a dislocated single-piece AcrySof® toric intraocular lens (IOL).Case summary: A 62-year-old male was referred with dislocated toric IOL (SN6AT4, AcrySof® IQ Toric; Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX, USA) in his right eye after an uneventful cataract surgery. Scleral fixation using the toric IOL was performed by placing the suture knot at the optic-haptic junction right beside the toric axis markings which easily achieved the desired positioning of the axis. The preoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity was 20/400 and it improved to 20/60 at 1 week after repositioning of the IOL and the IOL was well-centered with its toric alignment within 5 degrees of the intended axis.Conclusions: Transscleral fixation of single-piece AcrySof toric IOLs is easy to learn technique, which reduces surgical time with minimal manipulation and enables IOL stability with good postoperative toric axis alignment.

Brand Preference, Patanjali, and FMCG: A Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Dr. Vibhor Paliwal Abhinav Ojha,
Published: December 2023

The primary goal of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis using the key words as Brand Preference, Patanjali and FMCG. The quality and advantages that the brand offers, particularly when it comes to the brand of foods and cosmetics items, have a significant impact on the consumer's decision to purchase a certain brand over time. Consumer satisfaction is calculated by contrasting the product's actual performance with its anticipated performance after use. Since perceptions are so individualized, they are susceptible to distortion. The conflict between buying and not buying persists in our minds unless a large number of people agree with our choice. Brands must thus be positioned in consumers' minds in order to survive in a nation like India. Ayurveda and herbal companies are well-known in India because the country's residents strongly relate herbal items to their spiritual beliefs. In this research paper bibliometric analysis has been done using vos-viewer.

In this study, micronized-ethylene-propylene-diene monomer powders (m-EPDM) by the physical crushing method were added to EPDM rubber, and their effects on physical and mechanical properties were examined. Micronized EPDM powders were added at rates of 10-20-30%. EPDM rubber was pulped with micronized EPDM powder using a 1.5-liter laboratory type mini banbury. The obtained paste was vulcanized in the press at 180 °C for 20 min., and test plates were acquired. Rheological and fluidity properties of EPDM rubber with m-EPDM powder added were examined by pre-press rheometer (Moving Die Rheometer_MDR) and Mooney viscosity tests. Tensile and permanent deformation tests were performed to determine mechanical properties density, Shore A hardness tests were performed to determine physical properties and dispersion analysis was performed to distribute the additives in EPDM rubber. As a result of the study, minimum torque (ML) values increased while maximum torque (MH) values decreased depending on the amount of m-EPDM. Mooney viscosity of EPDM/30m-EPDM rubber increased by 40.9%. It was observed that cure rate index (CRI) did not change depending on the amount of m-EPDM. With the addition of 30% m-EPDM, breaking strength decreased by 39.2%, and elongation at break was reduced by 9.87%.

The acidity of milk in batch I was the best of 18.66°T, in batches II and III the acidity had higher values ​​compared to the first batch and with the maximum requirements in force. The fat content in all the lots examined was satisfactory, having values ​​higher by 1.23 - 1.33% compared to the minimum requirements in force. In the examined batches, the protein content was in batch II of 3.5% or the minimum level according to the requirements in force and slightly higher in batch I - 3.66% and batch III - 3.67%. Among the components of milk, casein it is the component that ensures its coagulation under the action of enzymes. The casein content was the highest in batch III of 3.23%, followed by batch I - 2.97% and batch II - 2.73%. According to the requirements in force, the acidity of fresh goat cheese must not be higher than 40°T. The goat cheese from batch I falls within the requirements in force, while the goat cheese from batches II and III was obtained with a higher acidity than the requirements in force by 2.3°T, therefore it is more acidic. Comparing the data obtained with the requirements in force for goat cheese, we can mention that the water content of the cheese obtained by us was higher in all batches compared to the requirements in force (50%)

This paper poses, from a theoretical perspective, the role that may have Internet as a key factor to foster the cultural convergence among countries. In this regard, we reflect about a central theoretic proposal, taking as main reference the dynamic constructivist approach. The gist of the paper goes down the lines of how shared values generated in the on-line communication processes developed by individuals (consumers) from different cultures-either between each other or between them and the medium-, can be passed on to every culture of origin, fostering their rapprochement in the long run.
The role of contracts in viticulturee
Authors:   Universidad de Zaragoza, Fernández Olmos Marta
Published: December 2023

Although economists have expended enormous effort examining the rationale for the contracts in agriculture, few studies have been undertaken in viticulture. However, in grape and wine production we observe different contractual arrangements. The underlying contractual structures are analyzed in different viticulture regions. Irrespective of the mode of vertical relationship in use between grape growers and those who process or market the grapes, we fi nd that contracts allow wineries to articulate their requirements with regard to the quality of grapes produced by growers. This analysis also allows us to conclude that contracts are a means of transferring risk and defi ning production responsibilities within a wine production system. We also observe a number of lingering theoretical issues that need to be addressed. Contracts facilitate the coordination of the relationship, but they do not ensure the long-term success. We conclude by discussing the role of reputation in contracting relationships.
Analyzing the Performance of Pakistan Equity Mutual Funds Using Multifactor Models: Pre-COVID Analysis
Authors: Danial Muhammad , Iftikhar Nadia , Shah Syed Quaid Ali
Published: December 2023

Previous literature has primarily focused on examining the determinants that impact mutual fund returns in developed and emerging economies. However, there is a dearth of empirical research on how multifactor models are associated with mutual fund returns in underdeveloped economies. The inconsistent literature regarding the efficiency of the literature posed a question of whether the fund managers can generate extra returns for the investors. To address this research gap, this study aims to analyze mutual fund returns using multifactor models, specifically the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), Fama-French three-factor model, Carhart four-factor model, Treynor-Mazuy and Fama Net-Selectivity. The first three models analyze the funds with four factors: market factor, growth factor, value factor and momentum factor. The results of the study indicate that the risk premium factor plays a crucial role in understanding mutual fund returns, as it exhibits significant value across all three models. However, the value and size factors were found to be insignificant in both the Fama-French and Carhart models. Additionally, the momentum factor was not significant in the Carhart model. Notably, the significant alpha observed in all multifactor models suggests the skill of mutual fund managers, which was further confirmed using the Treynor-Mazuy and Fama Net-Selectivity models to assess their timing and selectivity abilities in actively managed funds. Furthermore, the finding of the study suggests the inefficiency of the market. The investors could earn extra return from their investments. However, the managers play important role in generating the abnormal returns as suggested by Treynor-Mazuy and Fama Net-selectivity model significance. In addition to that, investors should consider the market risk premium in their investment returns.
Healing Loneliness Post-COVID-19: A Review of Multicultural Exploration of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy's Success in Western and Eastern Cultures
Authors: Wang Hsueh-Wen
Published: December 2023

The global COVID-19 pandemic threatened physical health and triggered a surge in loneliness, particularly post-outbreak in Western and Eastern societies. This study explores the psychological implications and societal impact of loneliness in the era of widespread lockdowns, social distancing, and the new norm, including work-from-home practices. Loneliness, a distressing sense of isolation, intensified during the pandemic due to genetic, cultural, and digital factors linked to adverse mental and physical health effects. The research highlights loneliness as a buffer against social pain or a correlate of illness, and findings associate loneliness with age, relationships, and behavior.Comparatively, Eastern societies experienced heightened loneliness, driven by a cultural emphasis on collectivism and face-to-face interactions. Innovative adaptations, such as virtual gatherings and online communities, helped mitigate the psychological impacts of social distancing. Both Eastern and Western societies relied on the digital landscape—virtual events, online communities, streaming services, and online gaming—to combat loneliness and foster connection. Understanding and addressing loneliness are vital for promoting mental well-being and resilience in the evolving global landscape.

Published: December 2023

In this paper, we propose a new computer vision model called SE-YOLOv5-SPD for counting the number of log ends in large wood piles in log farms. This task traditionally requires a lot of manpower and previous computer vision methods struggle to detect logs in low pixels and small objects in images. Our model is based on the YOLOv5 model and incorporates the Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks (SENet) attention module and SPD-Conv (Space-to-Depth Convolution) module to improve accuracy. We also compare the performance of the SE attention module and SPD-Conv module to the CBAM attention module and Focus module using the SE-YOLOv5-SPD model. Results show that the SE-YOLOv5-SPD model can achieve excellent results of 0.652 in mAP50:95, 0.912 in mAP50, 0.968 in Precision, and 0.864 in Recall in a low-resolution environment with interference, which is significantly better than other models. Our findings indicate that the SE-YOLOv5-SPD model is a promising solution for counting the number of log ends in wood piles.

This paper proposes a human behavior-based optimization algorithm, Martial Arts Learning Optimization (MALO), for optimization problems in continuous spaces. The algorithm simulates the process of characters in martial arts learning so as to apply it to optimization problems. Characters in martial arts stories usually go through multiple stages of learning martial arts, such as self-study and leader teaching. Multiple learning stages of characters are modeled in this paper, utilizing the wisdom of the characters learning martial arts in the novel, enabling the optimization process. To verify and analyze the performance of the proposed algorithm, the algorithm is numerically tested on 30 benchmark functions, and it is found that its performance was better than the state-of-the-art nine algorithms. In addition, the algorithm is also used to solve the problem of nighttime image brightness enhancement. Compared with other image enhancement methods, the proposed MALO algorithm has superior results in both visual effects and quantitative image quality assessments.

Load scheduling plays a vital role in the home energy management systems. The main objective of this load scheduling is to balance the power demand and supply power without degrading the performance of the loads and consumers tolerance. Though many research works concentrate on load scheduling, very few works concentrated on real time scenario. On the other hand, research work concentrated on optimal load scheduling through fuzzy logic requires incorporation of fuzzy based system in either simulated or real-time home energy management system. Hence, the proposal aims to schedule the loads in a simulated home energy management system through fuzzy logic controller using MATLAB Simscape with required subsystems. The proposed simulated environment considers four different resistive loads. Intelligent scheduling is aimed to achieve efficient load scheduling. A fuzzy controller has three inputs namely integrated source, state of charge of battery, and power demand whereas probability of scheduling is considered as output. The efficiency of the proposed fuzzy-based load scheduling scheme is evaluated under various load conditions for different sub-systems with varying input power. The results exhibit the efficacy of the proposed scheme.

 
Constraints-based and One-time Modification Redactable Blockchain
Authors: Chunli Wang Chunli Wang , Chunli Wang Yuling Chen , Yuling Chen Wensheng Jia
Published: December 2023

Immutability enables the blockchain to store data permanently, which is considered to be the most essential property to protect the security of blockchain technology. However, illegal content stored on the blockchain cannot be modified either. "The right to be forgotten" stipulates that the data subject has the right to request the data controller to delete personal data about him, and the controller is obliged to delete the personal data in a timely manner in such circumstances. Therefore, redactable blockchains are proposed to solve the aforementioned problems. The redactable blockchain relaxes the immutability of blockchains in a controlled manner. However, a participant who is granted the privilege to modify the blockchain, he/she may add inappropriate or malicious modifications to the content of historical blocks. In this article, we introduce a redactable blockchain where transaction owners restrict what editors can rewrite in transactions. When posting an editable transaction, the transaction owner indicates what can be edited and what cannot be edited in order to restrict a transaction modifier from making malicious changes to the content of the transaction. The modifier’s changes to the transaction are then validated by the validator and any malicious changes that do not meet the requirements will fail to be validated. To counteract collusive attacks between modifiers and validators, they will be held accountable and penalized.

Published: December 2023

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality globally. To effectively prevent CVDs, a variety of techniques have been employed to evaluate the mechanical properties of arteries, among which, aortic stiffness measured by aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been proven to be an independent predictor of CVDs. However, the traditional way to measure PWV is complex and time consuming. Recent studies suggest the digital volume pulse (DVP) waveform to be an effective non-invasive method to obtain PWV. In this study, we present a cloud computing system that analyzes and calculates the relevant indices of arterial stiffness after receiving the measured DVP signals. The result of the analysis can be retrieved online for the user to view or download for further analysis. With this technique, arterial Stiffness Index (SI) for population can be obtained easily and inexpensively. This will help health authorities to do mass screening at population level and, hence, establish references of arterial SI for different cohorts by age, gender, ethnicity, and diseases.

Published: December 2023

Text summarization is divided into extractive summarization and abstractive summarization. The extractive summarization technology aims to extract some main phrases and sentences from the original text to form a short summary for people to read quickly. However, extractive summarization is faced with problems such as poor sentence coherence and incomplete information, which makes it difficult to screen out important sentences from the source text. DNN (Deep Neural Network) is widely used for text summarization task. This paper proposes a TA-Sum model based on the neural topic model. Introducing the topic information can help people understand the relevant main content of source text quickly. We obtain the topic information using the neural topic model and implement the attention mechanism to fuse the topic information with the text representation, which improves the semantic integrity and completeness of the summary. The experimental results on the large-scale English data sets CNN/Daily mail are improved by 0.37%, 0.11%, and 0.17% respectively compared with BertSum, which demonstrates the effectiveness of our method.

Published: December 2023

Okun yasasına göre ekonomik büyümenin yüksek olduğu dönemlerde işsizlik oranının düşük değerler alması, ekonomik büyümenin düşük olduğu dönemlerde ise işsizlik oranının yüksek değerler alması beklenmektedir. Dolayısıyla Okun yasasında işsizlik oranları ile çıktı seviyesi arasında zıt yönlü bir ilişkinin olduğu öne sürülmektedir. Bu çerçevede yapılan çalışmada Türkiye’de GSYİH’da meydana gelen değişim ile işsizlik oranı arasındaki ilişki okun kanunu çerçevesinde analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada okun yasası Türkiye’de 2005Q1-2022Q2 dönemleri arasında GSYİH ve İşsizlik verilerinden hareketle genişletilmiş ARDL yöntemi kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Yapılan genişletilmiş ARDL test sonuçlarına göre Türkiye’de uzun dönemde çıktı düzeyindeki %1’lik artış işsizlik oranını %0,88 oranında azaltmaktadır. Kısa dönemde ise çıktı seviyesinde meydana gelen %1’lik artış işsizlik oranını %0,08 oranında azaltmaktadır. Dolayısıyla çıktı seviyesinde meydana gelen değişmeler uzun dönemde işsizliği daha yüksek oranda azaltmaktadır.

In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between the educational beliefs of health academics and their behaviors to support learner autonomy. Relational screening model was used. The study was completed with 186 health academics in the 2021-2022 Academic Year. Data; The data were collected with the 'personal information form' created by the researcher, 'Educational Beliefs Scale (EDS)' and 'Learning Autonomy Support Scale (SSS)'. Descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA and correlation analyzes were used in the evaluation. According to the research results, the highest philosophy adopted by academics is existentialism. Essentialism education approach is adopted more by male academicians. With the increase in the titles of academicians, the traditional understanding of education emerges. It has been determined that the rate of providing the opportunity for autonomy to the students of health academics is high, but the rate of support for decision making is low. In addition, a high level, negative significant relationship was found between the education belief of academicians and the total scores of the autonomy support scale. In this direction, it is recommended to create academic awareness trainings and learning environments that support learner autonomy to increase the two-way teacher-learner relationship in university life.

Published: December 2023

Surveys were carried out between the years 2021-2022 to determine the nematode hosts of weeds in the vineyard areas of Izmir and Manisa provinces in the Aegean Region. Fifty-five weeds belonging to different families, Asteraceae, Apiaceae, Brassicaceae, Fabaceae, Geraniaceae, Lamiaceae, and Poaceae, were identified in vineyards. In the study, 19 genera of free-living and 17 genera of plant feeder nematode species were extracted from the roots and rhizosphere soil of weeds. The detected nematode species were divided into herbivores, fungivores, omnivores, bacterivores, and predators. The majority of plant parasitic nematodes consisted of ectoparasitic species. On the other hand, Meloidogyne species were prominent among the plant parasitic nematode genera detected, and Amaranthus retroflexus L., Anagallis arvensis L., Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers., Chenopodium album L., Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn, Gallium aparine L., Heliotropium europaeum L., Lepidium draba L., Lamium amplexicaule L., Lactuca serriola L., Portulaca oleracea L. were identified as hosts. Pratylenchus neglectus, P. thornei, Longidorus elongatus, and Ditylenchus dipsaci were other economically important nematode species identified from the root zone of weeds. Bacterial feeder Cephalobus, omnivore Mesodorylaimus, and plant-parasitic Geocenamus brevidens had the highest populations counted as 61, 81, and 22 in 100 cm3 soil in survey areas, respectively.
