La violencia dentro de las cárceles chilenas es una problemática que existe tanto en cárceles de hombres como de mujeres. Sin embargo, los estudios en población femenina en esta materia son limitados. De tal forma, esta investigación analiza los factores presentes en la manifestación del comportamiento violento en hombres y mujeres privados de libertad, para lo cual se aplicaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a 98 mujeres y a 174 hombres en dos centros penitenciarios de Santiago, Chile. Los datos son analizados usando estadísticas descriptivas. Se indaga respecto a las variables sociodemográficas, conducta delictiva, salud física y mental, servicios y condiciones estructurales en prisión, manifestación de conductas violentas dentro de la cárcel, resolución de problemas y rol de grupos de pares. Los resultados muestran la presencia de consumo de drogas al interior de la prisión, enfermedades de salud mental, un acceso limitado a tratamientos de drogas y a programas de apresto laboral o capacitación. Las formas de agresiones son distintas entre grupos, pero las motivaciones son similares.

Es innegable que el crimen en México aumenta y sin duda alguna, para frenarlo son necesarias políticas públicas empíricamente argumentadas. La investigación busca dar respuesta a tres interrogantes fundamentales sobre el crimen en el estado de Tabasco: ¿Existen patrones en la conducta delictiva? ¿Cuál es su tendencia? ¿Cómo caracterizarla durante las últimas décadas? Para responderlos se recurre a la estadística descriptiva, la georreferenciación y al análisis de series de tiempo (1997-2018) para identificar los patrones subyacentes. Villahermosa o El Centro, la ciudad capital del estado, ha sido, es y seguirá siendo una de las ciudades más inseguras del país, de no tomarse decisiones radicales para inhibir las tasas delictivas. En la actualidad, el secuestro y el abigeato son las modalidades delincuenciales que afectan, de gran modo, las actividades económicas de la región e inhiben emprendimientos de desarrollo de parte de cualquier actor económico.

Constructing and validating an instrument for comparing national criminal justice policies
Authors:   Universidad de Extremadura, Arenas-García Lorea
Published: March 2022

The social exclusion generated by criminal justice policies adopted by some countries regarding certain individuals (offenders, ex-offenders, defendants, or suspects) places these individuals in worse individual and social conditions pursuant to their contact with penal institutions. Measuring social exclusion is useful for comparing different national crime control systems and for estimating how exclusionary a country is. However, raditional comparisons of criminal justice policies have focused on the level of punitiveness exerted by each national criminal justice system referring to the incarceration rate per 100.000 inhabitants. As pointed out by Díez-Ripollés y García-España (2019), constituting all comparisons around one indicator marginalises others with stronger measurement capacity. For this reason, an instrument of 39 indicators was created by the authors using expert judgments (Díez-Ripollés & García-España, 2019). This article discusses the development of the tool in detail and how its validity and reliability were established. To validate the instrument, we surveyed 99 international experts and applied Aiken V as the main statistical procedure. Our findings suggest this instrument is valid and reliable for international comparison.

The study was conducted to optimize the air frying condition and formulation of banana chips with less oil content using air-frying technology. Variable screening employing Six Variables and Two Levels designed by Box, Hunter, and Hunter (1978) was conducted to screen the variables that would significantly influence the sensory acceptability of the product. These variables include the thickness of banana slice, oil levels, sodium metabisulfite levels, salt levels, blanching time, and frying temperature. The variables that were found significant are frying temperature, salt, and oil levels. These were used to identify the most suitable formulation for the development of air-fried banana chips using Central Composite Design (CCD) of Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The sensory quality evaluation of the product revealed that frying time significantly influenced the color, aroma, taste, crispiness, oiliness, and general acceptability of air-fried banana chips. The results also showed that salt significantly affected the aroma, taste, crispiness and general acceptability, while the addition of oil influenced the aroma, taste, crispiness, and oiliness of the product. The optimum points generated were 165oC frying temperature, 7.4% w/w salt, and 13% w/w oil.

Consumption of nutritional food could help alleviate malnutrition among people in developing countries such as the Philippines. Sweet basil is a nutritional food which supplies vitamins, particularly A, B and minerals such as Fe, Mn, and 6, Mg. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Zn, Fe, Cu, and Mn biofortification on the growth, yield, and chlorophyll contents of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) under pot experiment. All of the pots, except T (control), 0 were applied with the recommended rate of NPK for sweet basil (60-60-60 kg ha ), together with the varying levels of micronutrients such as Zn, Fe, Cu, and Mn -1-1 (applied at 4, 8, and 12 kg ha ). The results of the study revealed that the application -1 of Zn at 4kg ha enhanced the plant height, root length, fresh and dry root weight of sweet basil. The higher number of primary branches and chlorophyll contents were -1 obtained from treatments applied with 12 kg ha Mn. The addition of Fe with 4 to 12 -1 kg ha increased the fresh weight of leaves and herbage yield. Cu biofortification at -1 4kg ha enhanced the herbage weight and yield of sweet basil. These results show the beneficial effects of micronutrient biofortification on the growth and yield parameters of sweet basil as well as its chlorophyll contents. Meanwhile, the amounts of Zn, Fe, Cu, and Mn in the soil were likewise enhanced with the addition of these nutrients. In return, the availability of these micronutrients for plant uptake was also enhanced.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar a caracterização hidrogeomorfométrica e a análise da dinâmica da cobertura da terra na microbacia do Córrego do Gregório na cidade de São Carlos (SP) e, a partir dessas informações, entender como ocorreu o processo de urbanização e a dinâmica das atividades agropecuárias no período de 1984 a 2021. Os efeitos antrópicos sobre a microbacia estão provocando nos últimos anos impactos intensos, como inundações que se tornaram mais frequentes. Os resultados foram obtidos a partir de imagens de satélite e programas específicos de interpretação das imagens. A microbacia tem uma área de 18,86 km2 e um total de 21 nascentes. No período de 1984 a 2021 a área urbana aumentou de 11,12 km2 para 13,02 km2, isto é, houve um aumento de aproximadamente 17,1%. Já a área não urbana (regeneração, reflorestamento e agropecuária) e a de vegetação ripária reduziram em 32% e 2%, respectivamente. Concluímos que, apesar do fator forma e coeficiente de compacidade sugerirem que naturalmente a microbacia não se caracterizaria como suscetível a inundações, o aumento da urbanização e atividades agropecuárias podem ter sido fatores determinantes no processo de impermeabilização da terra e consequente aumento das inundações.

Life and the religious thought of Shaikh Muhammad Ghawth of Shattari Silsilah
Authors: Laskar Sakir Hossain
Published: March 2022

The Shattari silsila of Sufism made its inroad into India from the late 15th century under the leadership its founder Shaikh Siraj al-din Abdullah Shattar. However, the order became popular among the masses of the Indian subcontinent under the charismatic leadership of Shaikh Muhammad Ghawth of Gwalior. He spread the ideal of shattari’s into the region of Gujrat Malwa, and Deccan. Probably Shaikh Muhammad Ghawth was the only Sufi saints who tried to understand the ideals of Hindu Yogis. Unlike the popular Chisti saints of the day, the Shaikh did participate in the political affairs of the States. It was by his help Babur was able to secure the fort of Gwalior. The Shaikh maintained a cordial relation with both emperors Humayun and Akbar, however, Akbar’s inclination towards the teaching of Shaikh Salim Chisti made the shaikh withdraw from the Mughal imperial capital Agra to Gwalior. The Shaikh was as pious as humble, as Mullah Badauni noted that the Shaikh made no distinction between the masses and nobles. Shaikh Muhammad Ghawth was one of the forerunners in the science of exorcism. This paper aims to shed light on various aspects of the teaching of Shaikh Muhammad Ghawth and his relationship with the ruling class of the day.

One of the most important ways to preserve information security is to use cryptographic techniques. It provides digital signature, authentication, secret sub-storage, system security, and other capabilities in addition to keeping the information confidential. As a result, the encryption and decryption solution can secure information secrecy, as well as information integrity and certainty, to avoid tampering, forgery, and counterfeiting. The security of encryption and decryption algorithms is determined by the algorithm's internal structure and mathematical rigour, as well as the key secrecy. The key in the encryption algorithm plays a crucial role; if the key is released, anybody may use the encryption system to encrypt and decrypt data, rendering the encryption process ineffective.

A sales analysis is a detailed report that tells about more profound understanding of a business’s sales performance, customer data, and the revenue. This tells you which deals are worth chasing and which are better left behind. Also, for the deals your sales team does decide to pursue, they’ll have a good approach ready to make the lead or customer more receptive to the sale. Using Sales Analysis helps to take retailers towards profit in this world of competition. Nowadays shopping malls keep the track of their sales data of each and every individual item for predicting future demand of the customer and update the inventory management as well. These data stores basically contain a large number of customer data and individual item attributes in a data warehouse. Further, anomalies and frequent patterns are detected by mining the data store from the data warehouse. The resultant data can be used for predicting future sales volume with the help of different machine learning techniques for the retailers like Big Mart. A predictive model is build using different algorithms. In this paper, we investigate forecasting sales for a Big Mart, with four machine learning algorithms (Random Forest, Linear Regression, Decision Tree and XG Booster Algorithms). The results show that the Random Forest algorithm performs better than the other two models.

Published: March 2022

Background: The susceptibility to ill health increases daily as a result of social and economic crises. Women and children are mostly affected by an increased rate of morbidity and mortality. Midwife managers have major roles to play in providing high-quality care to these patients. Therefore, midwife managers have to engage in effective planning to be competent and effective. The study aims to assess the planning practices among midwife managers. Methodology ; A Descriptive quantitative design was used for the study. A systematic sampling technique was used to select 180 respondents from two hospitals. A semi-structured questionnaire of the Likert scale was used to elicit information from the respondents. Data were analyzed using a statistical package for social science and were presented in distribution and percentage tables. Results : It was discovered that the majority of the midwife managers were female, within the age bracket of 31-40years, and were in the antenatal ward. 35.56% of the midwife managers practiced strategic planning while contingency type of planning was least practiced (17.22%). 47.22% of the midwife managers had in-depth knowledge of planning practices and engage in the weekly plan. The researcher observed that the extent to which midwife managers engage in planning practices depends on how much they know about the concept. Conclusion : Midwife managers are essential stakeholders in providing evidence-based practice and so should engage in effective planning. Recommendation : It is recommended that midwife managers should be empowered to improve their planning practices through training, workshops, and mentorship.

Published: March 2022

Background:  Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease with increasing prevalence globally. Glycemic control is the ultimate management goal possible through self-care activities predominantly patient-driven and enhanced by one’s knowledge. These consequently minimize associated adverse complications hence maintaining the quality of life among people with diabetes. Self-care knowledge and practice are globally found unsatisfying to control glycemia among many diabetic populations. There is a critical need to assess current knowledge and practice regarding self-care among diabetic people to control their diabetes. Methods:  We conducted a hospital-based cross-sectional study on 228 participants who were living with diabetes for at least six months since diagnosis. A standard tool, adopted and modified to suit the setting was used; the self-report Diabetic Knowledge Test Questionnaire for self-care knowledge and a revised version of the Summary Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire for practice. Both descriptive and logistic analysis was done using Stata software, version 13.   Results:  Adequate diabetes self-care knowledge was average (56%) and adequate self-care practice was below average (35%). Major gaps in foot care, blood glucose testing, hypoglycemia recognition, and management. Multiple logistic regression revealed longer duration with diabetes and more frequency of receiving health education highly associated with adequate self-care knowledge and practice (duration ≥ 11 years, AOR: 2.9; P=0.014) and health education on every clinic visit (AOR: 4.0; P=0.005) for self-care knowledge while duration ≥ 6 years (AOR=3.3, P-value = 0.011) and health education twice from the time they started clinic visits (AOR= 0.2, P= 0.048) for self-care practice.       Conclusion:  Interventions should be developed focusing on precise and user-friendly health education packages translated to local languages, and eye-catching to the audience, priority to newly diagnosed and less educated. A further study assessing appropriate health education delivery avenues to clients of various characteristics, especially rural communities.

Published: March 2022

Background: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) during pregnancy is a significant public health problem worldwide and its impact on newborn outcomes is largely documented. Although conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have provided a perfect environment for IPV to thrive, the magnitude of IPV among pregnant women remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and determinants of IPV during the COVID-19 pandemic among pregnant women in south-western Uganda.  Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study of 345 pregnant women attending a large City Health Care facility consecutively enrolled. The validated WHO semi-structured women’s health and domestic violence questionnaire was used to identify women who had experienced IPV. Results:  Of the 345 pregnant women, 67.5% experienced some form of IPV. The categories of IPV experienced by pregnant women included: controlling behaviors 188(80.6%), psychological 127(54.5%), sexual 84(36.1%), economic 99(42.5%), and physical violence at 33(9.6%). The most important predictor of all types of IPV experience was marital conflicts experience. Specifically, the predictors of psychological IPV experience were marital conflicts experience and emotional support from relatives. The strongest predictor of controlling behaviors IPV experience was marital conflicts experience. The strongest predictors of sexual violence IPV experience were decision-making, marital conflicts experience, pregnant women aged ≥35, and communicating with the family of origin. The predictors of economic IPV experience were decision-making, marital conflicts experience, financial support from relatives, and marriage duration.  Conclusion: The IPV burden during the COVID-19 pandemic is widespread among pregnant women in south-western Uganda. Pregnant women reporting marital conflicts were more likely to experience IPV. These findings point to the need for integration of IPV screening in the routine ANC activities for every pregnant woman. Recommendations Health care providers need to identify and manage IPV as a health issue, not just as a societal matter if IPV is to be mitigated.
Etika Berinformasi dalam Al-Qur’an

Published: March 2022

The main reason for the failure of the praxis ideal democratic conception is the absence of a critical society and has the ability to control and maintain objectivity, freedom, and openness of information in the mass media. This is in praxis, indeed democracy turns out to run contrary to the concept of ideal democracy with the mastery of the mass media. Thus, there is an assumption that ordinary people are not capable enough to be well informed. From this research based on Islam and the Quran, it reveals that in realizing an ideal democratic society, a good ability to inform is needed. The Quran in some places has hinted at instructions for mankind, especially Moslem, about the value and ethics of information as in Q.S an-Nisa' verse 83 and al-Hujurat verse 6. By exploring the interpretation of both verses, the author discovers some values and ethics that must be considered in information. The application of these values and ethics will then form a society that is critical in information which then has implications for the formation of a healthy mass media and realizing ideal democratic praxis.

The Impact Of Religious Values On Social And Political Change In Tolitoli In The Early 20th Century
Authors: Abdul Latief Juraid
Published: March 2022

There is no doubt, interpretation of religious values by social and political elites in the modern social history has significantly influenced the development of political structure at national, regional and global level. At least, the phenomena has appeared since the period of Muhammad in the seventh century around Arabic peninsula, the rise of Islamic empires in the western Asia from the seventh to twelfth century, Spain under the Moslem and Christian powers, Turk during the Ottoman Empire from fifteenth to nineteenth century, Europe nations in the period of Crusaders from eleventh to fourteenth century, American independence war more than two hundred years ago. And in some cases, religious values were used effectively to mobilize local people against the western governments in Asia and Africa in the last century. Local political entities in South East Asia also experienced the same political development. Jihad concept fuelled and promoted social and political movements of Imam Diponegoro in Java, Sultan Hasanuddin in Makassar, Panglima Polem in Aceh, and Moro independence movement in Philippine. By using document analysis, depth interviews, and field observation, this study documents historical evidences that Haji Hayyun played a significant role politically and socially in Tolitoli, Sulawesi Tengah in the early twentieth century. Although tragically ended, as a figure he successfully used religious sentiment to get support from his followers against the Dutch government in Tolitoli.

The aim of the research is to analyze the diagnostic results of infected people with the COVID-19 in Bishkek. Therefore, in this study, with the aim of epidemiologically analyzing the COVID-19 infection in the city, diagnostic PCR research was carried out at the Center for Quarantine and Highly Dangerous Infections of the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic in the Laboratory of Virology and Rare Infections. During the period of operation from 01st May 2020 to 31st March 2021, 28,863 samples from patients of the Sverdlovsky and Pervomaisky districts of Bishkek were examined by the real-time PCR. For laboratory diagnostics of COVID-19, according to the recommendations of the WHO and Russian regulatory documents, obtained biomaterials from the upper respiratory tract like swabs from the nasopharynx and oropharynx were used. Biological materials were collected from patients with symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections and from patients who contacted with COVID-19 infected people applied to Family Medicine Centers in Bishkek city for the purpose of preventive examination and treatment. The samples were identified by real-time PCR, in accordance with the “biological safety” rules. From 28,863 samples 3,255 positive and 25,575 negative results were found. In the study, the largest number of samples from patients with symptoms of COVID-19 infection was recorded in June, and July, 2021, as 7,604, and 4,074, respectively. In June, 738 positive results were detected from 7,604 samples, while in July, 540 positive results were detected from 4,074 samples. This period is estimated to be the acute dynamic period of the epidemiological situation in Bishkek (Pervomaisky and Sverdlovsky districts). The epidemiological situation was stable in August and September, with the number of infected in August was 17 cases, and in September 2 cases. However, since September 2020, the number of infected people with COVID-19 has been growing. Besides, the results of PCR diagnostics from 01st January to 31st March 2021 indicated that the epidemiological situation was assessed as “relatively stable”.
Magnetic local time and latitude distribution of ionospheric large-scale EMIC wave events: Swarm observations 
Authors: Sun Luyuan , Liu Yiwen
Published: March 2022

In the present work, the magnetic local time and latitude (MLT and MLat) distributions of ionospheric large-scale (> 20° MLat) electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves were investigated using high-resolution 50-Hz geomagnetic field data from Swarm A and B satellites. Both longitudinal and transverse waves were studied in a comparative manner for different geomagnetic activities and seasons. Frequent occurrences of large-scale waves in the South Atlantic Anomaly and North America, where the longitudinal waves propagate over the longest distance, were observed. Waves appear mostly in the 02–10 MLT sector wherein the pre-noon longitudinal waves propagate farthest in latitudinal range. With the enhancement of geomagnetic activity, both transverse and longitudinal waves increase in occurrence. The dayside occurrence rate is higher during weak geomagnetic activity, whereas the situation is reversed on the nightside and duskside. The dayside waves are located outside of the mid-latitude trough, and the nightside waves are located near (inside) the equatorward boundary of the mid-latitude trough. Large-scale waves tend to occur at the equinox when the absolute value of the dipole tilt angle is less than 10°, while the long-distance transmission in the waveguide occurs in the pre-noon in summer. Longitudinal waves propagate in the region where the electron density is higher than that of the transverse waves. This study reveals potential factors that contribute to the occurrence of ionospheric waveguide events.
Investigating woody species resprouting in response to fire
Authors: Shen Yicheng , Prentice Colin , Harrison Sandy
Published: March 2022

Fire is a major disturbance in natural ecosystems and more extreme fires are predicted to occur in the future. Plant species can survive or resist wildfires and adapt to fire-prone regimes by exhibiting fire-related plant traits such as serotiny and heat-simulated germination. Resprouting is one of the most common plant traits that confer resilience to fire, promoting rapid post-fire recovery and affecting ecosystem dynamics. We investigated the relationships between the abundance of resprouting woody species, fire return interval and fire intensity in three regions: Europe, Australia and South and Central America. Species abundance data were obtained from the SplotOpen database while resprouting information are derived from regional and global databases, field information and the literature. Fire return time and fire intensity at each site were estimated using remotely sensed observations (MODIS MCD64CMQ, MODIS MCD14ML and Fire Atlas). We show that the abundance of resprouting woody species decreases with increasing fire return interval but that resprouters are most abundant at intermediate levels of fire intensity. These patterns are seen in all the three regions. Given that the abundance of resprouting woody species is strongly related to the fire regime, it should be possible to model their distribution in an optimality framework. Since the abundance of resprouters will affect ecosystem post-fire recovery, it is important to include this trait in fire-enabled vegetation models in order to simulate ecosystem dynamics adequately.
