In Brazil, pork consumption is lower compared to the global consumption. Perspectives of sociocultural origin perpetuate the myths that surround pork, claiming it to be a fatty protein and the transmission of human cysticercosis. The objective was to characterize the profile of pork consumption and knowledge about the taeniasis-cysticercosis complex among students of Veterinary Medicine and Agronomy courses, verifying the possible aspects that interfere with consumption. A total of 137 students were interviewed. Variables such as price, flavor, and cultural aspects were the main reasons for the low consumption of pork by students, in addition to the myth that pork is involved in cases of human cysticercosis, which justifies actions with clarification to the population.

Substantiation for a new non-contact measurement technique in electrical resistance surveys
Authors: Karinskiy A. D. , Ivanov A. A. , Zudenkov I. A. , Matyushenko A. A. , Novikov Р. V.
Published: December 2023

Background. Methods for electrical resistance surveys include those of electrical sounding and electrical profiling with various arrays. Measurements were originally carried out at direct current, although low-frequency alternating current was used later. In the case of direct current, the sole sources of the primary electric field in these methods comprise the charges of the A, B current electrodes, with the measured value being the electric field voltage E equal to the potential difference ΔUMN in the MN line with the measuring electrodes M, N. According to the measurement results, the apparent electrical resistivity is determined, which is convenient for interpreting the measurement results ρк. However, in some cases, e.g., when conducting measurements in permafrost areas, it can be difficult to ensure reliable grounding of the electrodes. Therefore, half a century ago, research was initiated to substantiate the possibility of contactless measurements in the method of electrical profiling with the alternating current I in the AB line. Until recently, the technique of non-contact measurements and interpretation of the results obtained has been based on approximate approaches, rather than on a strict solution of the forward problem of electrodynamics.

Aim. Objective substantiation of the non-contact measurement technique based on the solution of a forward electrodynamics problem.

Materials and methods. The data obtained by mathematical simulation were analyzed.

Results. The results of calculations for a model corresponding to the possible conditions for contactless measurements in electrical exploration by the resistance method are presented. A case is considered when a generator line AB of a harmonically varying current I is located in the air, at a height h above a homogeneous conducting half-space with a specific electrical ρ2.

Conclusion. In comparison with the method currently used for non-contact measurements, it seems more effective to determine the apparent electrical resistivity from the reactive component of the electric field voltage E in the measuring line MN that varies in phase with the current I in the generator line AB.

Published: December 2023

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects and improves crucial global technologies like sensor nodes. The Internet is evolving from a human-centric network to one that enables inanimate things to wirelessly communicate with one another. The lifespan of an IoT network may be affected by the energy requirements of its routing protocol. Data is transmitted through the internet, and it may compromise the security of the data. An attacker can access the data and modify the data in order to break the security of the network. Although various solutions are available, such as cryptography and steganography-based approaches, none provide secure data transmission in large-scale networks with low energy consumption. Blockchain technology plays a vital role in the prevention of network malware. In this paper, an attempt has been made to propose a credit-based mechanism for secure data transmission in an efficient manner with low energy consumption. In order to achieve optimal results, the proposed framework uses blockchain for data security and credit distribution to avoid delays. The proposed framework has been simulated using the Contiki Cooja (CC) simulator. The efficiency of the proposed framework is measured by comparing its performance with state-of-the-art techniques.

Authors: Марушко Надія Семенівна
Published: December 2023

Досліджено сучасні тенденції розвитку системи фінансового моніторингу у сфері аудиторської діяльності. Встановлено, що аудитори, аудиторські компанії, фізичні особи-підприємці, які надають бухгалтерські послуги, а також суб’єкти господарювання, що надають консультації з оподаткування формують коло суб’єктів первинного фінансового моніторингу та зобов’язані здійснювати внутрішні перевіри або проводити незалежний аудит. З'ясовано, що аудиторські компанії зобов’язані ідентифікувати фінансові операції, аналізувати їх та визначати підозрілі. Визначено, що до основних фінансових операцій, у який аудиторська компанія проводить фінансовий моніторинг відносять операцій з купівлі-продажу нерухомості, корпоративних прав, управління майном клієнта та грошовими потоками, залучення коштів для створення юридичної особи її супровід та аудит діяльності. Наголошено на важливості проведення фінансового моніторингу операцій у сфері аудиту, при цьому доцільно враховувати такі ключові критерії: економічне значення і ціль фінансової операції; тип активів або форма платежів, що використовуються під час проведення фінансової операції, а також сума; відповідність характеру та змісту діяльності учасників угоди самій угоді; місце проведення, резиденція або місце перебування осіб, які беруть участь у трансакції, або користувачів, включаючи обсяги та тривалість їхньої діяльності; суть угоди між сторонами, кінцеві бенефіціари, а також фінансові інструменти, які використовуються під час здійснення операції. Визнано, що відповідальність аудиторів полягає не лише у виявленні незаконних доходів, але й у забезпеченні конфіденційності та дотриманні професійної етики. Доведено необхідність встановлення контрольних індикаторів у аудиторській діяльності для фінансового моніторингу. Проведене дослідження дало змогу дійти висновку, що фінансові показники, які відносяться до регулювання аудиторської діяльності у сфері боротьби з легалізацією доходів, отриманих незаконним шляхом, повинні відповідати таким принципам: узгодженість даних, їх достатність і надійність, а також простота і наочність. Разом з тим визнано, що важливо встановити міру відповідальності за навмисні помилки при проведенні фінансового моніторингу у сфері аудиту. Запропоновано узгодити норми законодавства у галузі аудиту з антикорупційним законодавством, а також, використовуючи досвід і знання вітчизняних і міжнародних аудиторів, слід розробити методи легалізації нелегальних доходів з описом індикаторів та методологією їхнього розрахунку у сфері аудиторської діяльності.

Published: December 2023

The article defines the goal of the NBU's interest policy, which consists in achieving a balance between the levels of inflation, the official discount rate, economic growth and the fulfillment of indicators of monetary security of the country. The article analyzes the dynamics of changes in the official discount rate, overnight loan and deposit rates of the NBU. Their unidirectional movement with the possibility of a slight lag in time lags is shown. A comparison of the average annual values of the NBU discount rate with the level of inflation and the exchange rate of the national monetary unit was made. A closer correlation-regression relationship between the discount rate and exchange rate compared to inflation has been established. Disadvantages of the interest policy related to the negative level of the discount rate relative to inflation are shown. The negative consequences of this situation are related to the formation of false monetary impulses in the market of financial services, distorted expectations regarding the value of real interest rates on loans and securities. Periodization of the interest rate policy of the NBU was carried out, with the allocation of nine stages according to the following characteristics: the trend of changes in the NBU discount rate (reduction, increase), the level of inflation (low, average, high), the change in the hryvnia exchange rate (absent, average, significant), the deviation of inflation from discount rate (positive, negative). The characterization of expansive, restrictive, and crisis stages of the monetary policy of the NBU has been performed. In order to strengthen the effectiveness of the interest rate channel of the transmission mechanism, it is proposed within the framework of inflation targeting: to ensure a closer connection between the level of the discount rate and the change in current and projected inflation in terms of the vector of changes and the positive level in order to form among the subjects of the financial services market the correct guidelines for the long-term trend of change cost of loans, deposits, capital. The following will contribute to the reduction of real interest credit rates: the formation of an investment climate in the state, the development of a competitive environment in the market of financial services, the improvement of legislation on the protection of the rights of their consumers, the overcoming of corruption and the improvement of judicial practice in the field of financial and credit relations.

Published: December 2023

This article delves into the practice of formulating territorial marketing strategies aimed at fostering the growth and revitalization of regions, cities, and nations. It serves as a comprehensive survey of territorial marketing strategies employed in foreign countries. The article scrutinizes successful instances of territorial marketing strategies implemented in various countries and regions to ascertain their adaptability to the unique Ukrainian context. Furthermore, the article espouses a viewpoint on the utility of territorial marketing as a pivotal tool for post-war reconstruction efforts in Ukraine. It outlines the prerequisites necessary for the effective implementation of city branding within Ukraine. The assessment of the "World Perception of Ukraine Report" and an analysis of search query trends on Google Trends collectively substantiate that cities in regions where military operations have transpired undergo substantial changes in the perception and positioning of their respective city brands, both domestically and internationally. The findings and prospects highlighted in this study hold the potential to significantly enrich comprehension and augment the utilization of territorial marketing strategies, ultimately facilitating the economic and socio-cultural development of Ukraine. In summary, this article offers an in-depth exploration of how territorial marketing strategies can be harnessed to expedite the progress and rehabilitation of regions and cities in Ukraine, particularly in the aftermath of military conflicts. It underscores the critical role of cultivating a positive city brand and leverages international examples and data to underpin its arguments and recommendations. Moreover, in the context of post-war reconstruction, the article emphasizes the importance of fostering a sense of community and pride among the residents of these affected regions, as these elements are instrumental in building a positive city brand. Effective territorial marketing not only shapes external perceptions but also boosts the morale and engagement of the local population. Additionally, as Ukraine's cities and regions aim to reposition themselves on the international stage, the article underscores the need for a coordinated effort between government agencies, local businesses, and civic organizations to create a unified and compelling narrative that reflects the values, culture, and potential of these areas. Such collaboration will be key to harnessing the full potential of territorial marketing and propelling Ukraine towards a brighter future.

Narrating YHWH’s Kingship in Psalms
Authors: Hamilton Mark W.
Published: December 2023

Svrha je psalama 93–100 u Četvrtoj knjizi Psaltira da promiču pripovijest o YHWH-inoj kraljevskoj vlasti nad svemirom. Bez obzira na njihovo porijeklo, njihov trenutan redoslijed u Knjizi 4 ublažava očaj koji se javlja u psalmima poput Psalma 89, kojim završava Knjiga 3. Kao vrsta pripovijesti koja se koristi u liturgiji, ovi psalmi razvijaju likove i radnje koje se koncentriraju na YHWH-inoj kraljevskoj vlasti i ispravnom poretku svijeta, što zauzvrat koristi Izraelu i, po njima, cijelom svijetu. Služe kako bi dalje razvili pripovijest o njegovoj vlasti nad svemirom.
Joshua’s Journey of Discipleship
Authors: Oprean Daniel G.
Published: December 2023

Ovaj članak nastoji istražiti dimenzije Jošuina putovanja učeništva i pritom postavlja tezu da takvo putovanje započinje Jošuinim izlaskom iz Mojsijeve sjene i ulaskom u Gospodinovu sjenu. To znači da Jošua nije samo osoba koja ide Mojsijevim stopama, nego da jedinstveno napreduje prema ispunjenju Božjega poziva. Drugo, to se vidi u načinu na koji Jošua nastavlja svoje putovanje, krećući se od naraštaja Izlaska koji je postao naraštaj neuspjeha, kojemu i sâm pripada, prema naraštaju rođenom u pustinji koji je postao naraštaj ulaska u Obećanu zemlju. Jošua je postao dio tog naraštaja stalno napredujući pokoravanjem u poslušnosti volji Božjoj. To kontinuirano napredovanje u vjernosti omogućuje Jošui, kako se tvrdi u trećemu dijelu članka, ne samo da stvori naraštaj poslušnosti, nego i da postane nadahnućem budućim vođama i naraštajima u povijesti Božjega naroda. Stoga istraživanje početka, nastavka i ploda Jošuina putovanja učeništva otkriva nužne sastojke bilo kojega putovanja učeništva, počinjući napuštanjem ljudskih modela i obrazaca te nastavljajući stalnim prilagođavanjem obrascima Božje volje. Samo takvo putovanje učeništva može kao plod ostaviti relevantnu baštinu, a Jošua i njegov život u tome nam služe kao korisna ilustracija.
„Bezreligijska“ misija?
Authors: Wachsmuth Melody J.
Published: December 2023

Our world continues to change as a result of things such as rapid technological and scientific advances, the rapidly spiraling climate crisis, and shifting geopolitical dynamics. If mission is defined as God’s ongoing work to reconcile, heal, and renew all of creation, the Church must spend serious time reflecting on what God might be currently doing and how to best participate in it. Dynamic missional praxis emerges from a robust missional theology reflecting upon the realities in both local and global contexts—thus, missional praxis must always be creatively adapting. This paper urges evangelical churches in Croatia to reflect on their past understanding of mission and engage in a missional hermeneutic involving the witness of scripture, the context, and the theology of the church. In this regard, it highlights a central issue in current mission theology and praxis—a missing doctrine of creation in evangelical theology. This has contributed to a church with a disembodied mission ill-equipped to speak to the crises of today. However, because of the current challenges, there is also a significant opportunity for missional engagement in Croatia.

The results showed that the application of the Talaqqi method was carried out in several ways, namely Improving (rawsin) reading students, depositing (mentasmi') new memorization (sabaq), and exams every time one juz of new memorization was completed. The application of the Muraja'ah method is carried out in two ways, namely muraja'ah new memorization (sabqi), muraja'ah memorization old (manzil). The constraint factor is that it is inefficient when facing more than 15 students, and lies in the learners themselves, be it in the pronunciation of the makharijul letters, the nature of the letters, the short length (mad), and the law of tajwid. The solution is by multiplying the human resources of Qur'an experts, coaching to supervisors (musyrif), providing motivation to each student, and collaborating with parents of students.

Published: December 2023

Ecologists, conservation biologists, and environmental managers are increasingly dependent on environmental DNA (eDNA) data for research and decision making. The inherent complexity of eDNA samples, coupled with different choices involved during the DNA extraction process, can introduce biases into the final eDNA dataset. Therefore, optimization and troubleshooting of DNA extraction protocols are pivotal for the successful execution of eDNA projects. Knowledge of the basic steps and principles of DNA extraction is essential for eDNA analysis. However, traditional education in ecology, conservation, and environmental management typically does not include in-depth training in molecular methods. While DNA extraction box kits are typically user-friendly, they may fail to deliver the desired results with eDNA samples, necessitating protocol adaptations or educated selection of alternative approaches. The primary objective of this paper is to enable scientists with an ecological background who employ DNA extraction protocols to understand the four key steps of DNA extraction, and to use this expertise to their advantage. Furthermore, we describe the purpose of commonly used reagents and chemicals, point out alternatives for each key step, explain the impact of certain choices on DNA integrity and purity, and advocate for an adaptable “mix and match” protocol when applicable. We anticipate that the paper will enable field ecologists to develop a deeper understanding of the mechanisms and chemistry underlying DNA extraction, thus allowing them to make informed decisions regarding the best DNA extraction method for their research. Our intention is not to provide comprehensive, step-by-step protocols, but to offer guiding principles while highlighting alternative solutions. Finally, we hope that this paper will act as a useful resource to support knowledge transfer and teaching.

Ultrasound is a non-invasive method to diagnose and treat medical conditions. It is becoming increasingly popular to use portable ultrasound scanning devices to reduce patient wait times and make healthcare more convenient for patients. By using ultrasound imaging, you will be able to obtain images with better quality and also gain information about soft tissues. The interference caused by tissues reflected in ultrasound waves resulted in intensified speckle sound, complicating imaging. In this paper, a novel Foe-Net has been proposed for segmenting the fetal in ultrasound images. Initially, the input US images are noise removal phase using two different filters Adaptive Gaussian Filter (AGF) and Adaptive Bilateral Filter (ABF) used to reduce the noise artifacts. Then, the US images are enhanced using CLAHE and MSR for smoothing to enhance the image quality. Finally, the denoised images are input to the V-net is used to segment the fetal in the US images. The experimental outcomes of the proposed Multi-Scale Retinex (MSR) is an image enhancement technique that improves image quality by adjusting its illumination and enhancing details. Foe-Net was measured by specific parameters such as specificity, precision, and accuracy. The proposed Foe-Net achieves an overall accuracy of 99.48%, specificity of 98.56 %, and precision of 96.82 % for segmented fetal in ultrasound images. The proposed Foe-Net attains better pre-processing outcomes at low error rates and, high SNR, high PSNR, and high SSIM values.
Significance of handcrafted features in human activity recognition with attention-based RNN models
Authors: Abraham Sonia , K. James Rekha
Published: December 2023

Sensors incorporated in devices are a source of temporal data that can be interpreted to learn the context of a user. The smartphone accelerometer sensor generates data streams that form distinct patterns in response to user activities. The human context can be predicted using deep learning models built from raw sensor data or features retrieved from raw data. This study analyzes data streams from the UCI-HAR public dataset for activity recognition to determine 31 handcrafted features in the temporal and frequency domain. Various stacked and combination RNN models, trained with attention mechanisms, are designed to work with computed features. Attention gave the models a good fit. When trained with all features, the two-stacked GRU model performed best with 99% accuracy. Selecting the most promising features helps reduce training time without compromising accuracy. The ranking supplied by the permutation feature importance measure and Shapley values are utilized to identify the best features from the highly correlated features. Models trained using optimal features, as determined by the importance measures, had a 96% accuracy rate. Misclassification in attention-based classifiers occurs in the prediction of dynamic activities, such as walking upstairs and walking downstairs, and in sedentary activities, such as sitting and standing, due to the similar range of each activity’s axis values. Our research emphasizes the design of streamlined neural network architectures, characterized by fewer layers and a reduced number of neurons when compared to existing models in the field, to design lightweight models to be implemented in resource-constraint gadgets.

Infectious diseases are still an important health problem in Indonesia, especially in developing countries. Antibiotics are drugs that are often used as a treatment for infectious diseases caused by bacteria with a mechanism of action by killing or inhibiting the growth of bacteria and with relatively little toxicity to humans. The use of antibiotics must be used rationally if used correctly it will reduce the level of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance is a condition where the inability of antibiotics to fight bacteria due to bacterial mutations. Cases of resistance reported by the Deputy Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, the prevalence of antibiotic resistance continues to increase. Compliance with the use of antibiotic drugs is an effort to overcome the prevention of resistance in patients receiving antibiotic therapy, by knowing several factors related to patient adherence including demographic factors, belief behavior factors, drug information giving factors and counseling factors.
