Polymath Prof. Wilhelm Schickard (1592-1635): Inventor of the mechanical calculating machine and the world’s first academic UFO-witness and investigator
Authors: Müller Andreas
Published: January 2024

Dear Editor,

with this letter I would like to point out the early results of my research into the so far little known UFO/UAP-sighting of one of the most famous German polymaths, contemporary and befriended astronomy-colleague of Johannes Kepler, Wilhelm Schickard (1592–1635). This sighting was so far undescribed even in most of UFO research literature. Not only holds the sighting itself many fascinating parallels to modern days UFO encounters; almost 400 years old, the account most likely represents the world’s first and earliest form of a detailed description and discussion of a UAP-sighting by a full and respected academic. The German government just honored Schickard with a special 20-Euro collector’s coin that celebrates the 400th anniversary of his invention of the first mechanical counting machine. Less known, if known at all, is the fact that Professor Schickard could be rightfully considered the first academic UFO/UAP researcher in history. The observation he encountered and described also set himself up for vehement criticism and outrage from his colleagues through his advocacy for the most precise description of the “miraculous sign” he observed and described in 1630.

Authors: Georgievich Polevoy Georgiy
Published: January 2024

The aim of the study is to study the sensitive periods of endurance formation in school-age children. Methods: The pedagogical experiment was organized at secondary school 60, Kirov city in Russia in the period from September 2022 to May 2023. The study involved 578 boys and 637 girls who were admitted by doctors to physical education classes at school. All children took the Cooper control test for 6 minutes at the beginning and at the end of the experiment. Physical education classes were held according to the standard program under the work of physical education teachers. The study used methods of mathematical statistics, the Student's T-test, the reliability was determined at p>0.05. Results: After the end of the pedagogical experiment, the students' performance improved on average in all classes. However, the improvement was uneven. Thus, the high increase in endurance was among schoolchildren from grade 2, grades 8-11 for boys, the indicators improved from 12 to 16% (p<0.05). The indicators improved by 12-15% (p<0.05) in girls from grades 2, from grades 9-11. Conclusions: As a result of the experiment, we can say that the sensitive period for the development of endurance in girls is the age of 8-9 years, 15-18 years, and in boys 8-9 years and 14-18 years. It should be noted that there is a high increase in endurance indicators in children aged 10-11 years. The results of the study make it possible to adjust the educational process in schools and improve the training process in various sports for children aged 7-18 years.

Authors: Cortés-Girón Eleasib , García-Elizondo Roberto , López-Trujillo Ramiro , Ruíz-Zárate Fernando
Published: January 2024

Con el propósito de evaluar los efectos de los días al parto (DP) sobre las características reproductivas posparto de vacas Charolais con manejo en condiciones extensivas y pastoreo anual en agostaderos semiáridos del noreste de México, se compararon 1,209 registros de 351 vacas que parieron y destetaron becerros, los cuales se agruparon de acuerdo con los DP en tres grupos: G1 (< 310d), G2 (310-340d) y G3 (>340d). En el análisis de varianza se utilizó un diseño completamente al azar con diferente número de repeticiones (sas, 1989). El modelo incluyó los efectos de año del parto y DP las siguientes variables: días al empadre (DE), días a la preñez (DPR), días abiertos (DA), intervalo entre partos (IEP), así como la fecha del parto siguiente (FPS), además de la covariable edad de la vaca al parto (EV). Se encontró efecto significativo (P<0.01) de los DP y EV sobre los DE y DPR. Las vacas con menos DP (G1) tuvieron 26 y 52 días más del parto al inicio del empadre y 18 y 36 días menos a la preñez que las vacas de los grupos G2 y G3, respectivamente. Se encontró una relación inversa (P<0.01) entre los DP, DA e IEP. Así mismo, una relación directa con DE y DA. El 94, 83 y 56% de las vacas de los grupos G1, G2 y G3 volvieron a destetar becerro al año siguiente. Por lo anterior, se concluyó que las vacas con menos DP tienen mejor comportamiento reproductivo posparto y mayor producción de becerros al destete.

Efecto de la rotación de corral sobre la composición botánica y selectividad de la dieta de las cabras en un matorral micrófilo desértico
Authors: Olvera Hernández Abundio , Mellado Bosque Miguel , González Morales Humberto , García Martínez José E.
Published: January 2024

Se determinó la composición botánica de la dieta de 2 hatos de cabras mestizas durante el transcurso de un año, pastoreando en un matorral micrófilo desértico en el noreste de México. Uno de los hatos siguió un pastoreo tradicional (pastoreo en un radio de 5 km alrededor del corral), y otro tuvo 2 áreas de pastoreo (rotación de las cabras en 2 corrales, separados 800 m uno del otro). Se colectaron heces de 7 cabras por hato durante 4 días consecutivos en las 4 estaciones del año, las cuales fueron sometidas a un análisis microhistológico. Durante el período de sequía, el porcentaje de arbustivas fue 35 % mayor (P<0.01) para las cabras en rotación de corral en comparación con las cabras con pastoreo continuo. Acacia farnesiana fue la especie más abundante en la dieta de las cabras en los 2 hatos (45 y 27 %, respectivamente). Para el verano (época de lluvias), los arbustos sólo constituyeron el 46 % de la dieta de las cabras en rotación de corral, y 22 % para las cabras en pastoreo continuo, siendo esta diferencia significativa (P<0.01). En el verano la rotación del corral tuvo una influencia significativa (P<0.05) sobre el porcentaje de gramíneas en la dieta de las cabras, constituyendo éstas el 14 % de la dieta de las cabras en pastoreo continuo, y 1.1 % de la dieta de las cabras con rotación de corral. Las herbáceas constituyeron porcentajes importantes de la dieta en el verano, 64 y 53 % para las cabras en pastoreo continuo y rotación de corral, respectivamente; (diferencia no significativa). Solanum elaeagnifolium y Sphaeralcea angustifolia fueron las herbáceas más abundantes en la dieta (34.4 y 22.5 %, respectivamente) en las cabras que se mantuvieron en pastoreo continuo. En todas las épocas del año el porcentaje de herbáceas en la dieta de las cabras fue mayor (P<0.05) en los animales con pastoreo continuo, en comparación con las cabras con rotación de corral. Las cabras de ambos hatos mostraron mayor preferencia por Acacia berlanderi, Acacia farnesiana, Atriplex canescens, Solanum eleagnifolium y Sphaeralcea angustifolia. Todas las herbáceas también fueron altamente preferidas por las cabras (valores de +10, en escala de -10 a +10) de ambos hatos en las 4 épocas del año. Se concluyó que la rotación de corral de las cabras alteró marcadamente la composición botánica de la dieta de las cabras, incrementándose las arbustivas, particularmente las leguminosas, y reduciéndose las herbáceas en la dieta de las cabras con rotación de corral.
PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS FOR HUNTINGTON’S DISEASE - CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Maria Christofolini Denise , Ricardo Magliocco Ceroni José , Alves Vieira Bianco Bianca , Parente Barbosa Caio
Published: January 2024

Background: Huntington’s disease is a rare, neurodegenerative, autosomal dominant disorder with adult onset caused by an expansion of 36 or more CAG trinucleotide repeats in the HTT gene.  In Brazil and in some other countries, carriers of HTT’s expanded allele of submitted to in vitro fertilization procedure can investigate embryos genetically to identify the ones that have inherited the expanded allele and the ones that inherited only the normal size alleles. In some instances, an individual has a positive familial history for the disease and do not want to know his/her personal carrier status but is willing to conceive children without the disease. Objective: to demonstrate the reproductive possibilities available to patients with Huntington disease through a case report and literature review. Methods: Here, we discussed the application and viability of the genetic screening techniques, based on a non-disclosure case of Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT). Results: a couple submitted to a non-disclosure test for Huntington disease was submitted to IVF, embryo biopsy and genetic analysis of the samples due to a familial history of the condition. Chromosome and mutation specific tests were applied, and one embryo was selected for uterine transfer. The couple was not informed why the other embryos were discharged. Conclusion: Although many ethical and practical aspects are involved in this decision, a non-disclosure PGT can be offered as an option for these couples, besides sperm, egg or embryo adoption, or child adoption.
Acoustic Correlates of Filler Particles in Romanian Connected Speech
Authors:   “Iorgu Iordan – Alexandru Rosetti” Romanian Academy Institute of Linguistics, Bucharest, Romania, Niculescu Oana
Published: January 2024

This paper explores a lesser studied topic in Romanian linguistic research related to the acoustic features (duration, pitch, F1/F2 values) and pragmatic functions of filler particles, often referred to as “filled pauses”, in spontaneous speech. From a theoretical perspective, we align our analysis with the recent definition proposed by Belz (2023), where “a phonetic exponent which is segmentally structured, semantically empty, syntactically unconstrained, and does not show an interjectional function is classified as a filler particle”. Moreover, as a way to reinforce the idea that filler particles are, from a phonetic perspective, extra-pausal phenomena, we classified fillers in terms of their positioning relative to the silent pause (i.e., pre-pausal, post-pausal, inter-pausal and concatenated). Prior to carrying out extensive quantitative analyses of filler particles on Romanian data, in this article we proposed performing an initial qualitative exploration of fillers in connected speech based on the Ro-Phon corpus. Our results reveal that: (1) the prototypical filler particle outputs in Romanian are vocalic (/ə, ɨ /), vocalic-nasal (/əm/) and nasal (/m/), (2) the length of the pause preceding a filler particle is systematically longer than the pause following it, (3) inter-pausal filler particles display the longest average duration while concatenated fillers were the shortest in our data, (4) in terms of formant frequencies, there is a greater degree of movement along the F1 axis compared to the average F2 frequencies extracted from both vocalic and vocalic-nasal tokens, indicative of an acoustic continuum present within the central vowels /ɨ/ and /ə/, (5) all fillers display a low, flat f0 contour, with a similar frequency as that of neighbouring phones, and that (6) filler particles perform various and often cumulative discursive roles, ranging from a cognitive function (indicative of planning processes), marker of a repair (self-initiated, content-based repairs), to a discourse management function used to signal upcoming new (sensitive) information within the narrative sequence. Future studies aim at extending the data and performing in-depth quantitative analyses related to duration, frequency distribution, voice and vowel quality of filler particles in non-pathological native and non-native Romanian speech data.

Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION. Timely diagnosis of malignant melanoma (MM) is crucial for optimal patient outcomes. Thus, the Danish Health Authority implemented a fast-track referral system (FTRS) comprising a clinical diagnostic filter function (CDFF) and a cancer package. This study aimed to characterise the flow of patients with a tentative MM diagnosis referred through the CDFF to a department of dermatology. METHODS. Retrospective data from the Danish patient and pathology file system were analysed for patients referred to the Department of Dermato-Venereology at Bispebjerg Hospital, Denmark, via the CDFF, with suspected MM in a one-year period. RESULTS. Among 860 patients with 895 skin lesions, 283 (31.6%) were discharged with a clinical benign diagnosis after their initial consultation, whereas treatment of another 77 (8.6%) patients concluded following a three-month observation period. One-year follow-up of these 360 (283 + 77) clinically benign skin lesions showed no malignancy. Among 100 MM-suspicious lesions promptly referred for excision to a department of plastic surgery, 48% were MM. CONCLUSIONS. In a Danish population with tentative MM diagnosis referred through the CDFF to a dermatological hospital department, one-third of patients were discharged with a clinically benign diagnosis. Half of the skin lesions referred for excision to the department of plastic surgery were MM. This indicates a decreased burden of overdiagnosis and a potential reduction of unnecessary surgical scars when dermatologists serve as gate keepers of the FTRS for MM. FUNDING.

Authors: Hökfelt Tomas , Wiesenfeld-Hallin Zsuzsanna
Published: January 2024

Neuropeptides represent the most diverse family of neurotransmitters counting numerous members and even more G protein-coupled receptors, all of which are potential targets for drug development. Here, we focus on galanin and its three receptors by describing their possible involvement in pain and regeneration. Although animal experiments indicate that galanin, together with other molecules, may act as an endogenous system protecting against pain and improving nerve growth, these results have so far not been translated into patient treatments.
Application of Power System Reliability and Outage Cost Indices on 33/11 kV Distribution Injection Substation: A Case Study of Asaba Business District
Authors: Ogum Stanley Ogochukwu , Ubeku Emmanuel U , Efenedo Gabriel I
Published: January 2024

The energy satisfaction that consumers can obtain from a power service provider solely depends on how reliable the feeder to which such customers are connected guarantees adequate and secure energy delivery. This research work is, therefore, to assess the reliability indices and the cost of expected electricity not supplied to the Asaba metropolis through the Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) Asaba 33/11 kV distribution injection substation. The method used consists of computing the System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI), Average Service Availability Index (ASAI), and Expected Energy Not Supplied Index (EENS) of the four feeders emanating from the substation and radiating into the metropolis. This is achieved by first collecting the outage hour, frequency of outage, and expected energy at the point of outage from the station's hourly logbook. The input data is fed into a program written in a MATLAB/OCTAVE environment. The values of the most important reliability index, ASAI, or availability, computed on the SPC, Anwai, Express, and Asaba Commercial feeders are 0.24, 0.23, 0.23, and 0.76 p.u., respectively, in 2020, while in 2021, these values are 0.32, 0.31, 0.33, and 0.83 p.u., respectively. Using the ASAI standard value from IEEE Standard 1366-2003, which is 0.999 as a benchmark, shows that all the feeders can be categorized as less reliable in the years under study. The annual cost of expected energy not supplied during power interruptions to Asaba electricity consumers in 2020 is $2,426,187.046 and $2,214,669.91 in 2021, respectively.
Dividend Payout Determinants in Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturing Firms: An Empirical Analysis
Authors: Zafar Saad , Khan Nouman Mustafa , Waqas Muhammad
Published: January 2024

This study presents a thorough analysis of dividend payout among the small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) operating in the manufacturing sector. The investigation primarily focuses on the cash flow and earnings methodologies. The present research aims to examine and assess the factors that impact dividend payout by using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Regression methodology. The data used in this research has been obtained from the audited financial statements of 50 manufacturing firms that are publicly listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. The dataset has a duration of five years, namely spanning from 2018 to 2022. Based on the results of this study, it can be inferred that there exists a significant correlation between free cash flow and profits per share, and the dividend amounts of Pakistani firms listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. Additionally, the findings of the research indicate that there is a positive relationship between earnings per share and dividend per share, but this relationship is not statistically significant. Moreover, the research acknowledges the importance of cash flow and ownership structure in exerting an impact on dividend policy. Hence, this research contributes to the advancement of knowledge about the interplay of cash flow, earnings, and dividend payouts, and enriches the theoretical underpinnings of dividend policy within the domain of publicly listed manufacturing enterprises.
DIGITAL MARKETING, CYBERCRIME, AND ISLAMIC BUSINESS ETHICS A CASE STUDY IN INDONESIA
Authors: Fikry Farid Al , Mualimin Jaya , Nurhasanah Siti
Published: January 2024

This study aims to explore digital marketing in-depth, and cybercrime in the business sector in Indonesia. This study investigates the important contribution of Islamic business ethics in anticipating cybercrimes in the digital economy in Indonesia. The impact of digital marketing and cybercrime incidents on the business sector needs to be investigated further in order to minimize the occurrence of cybercrime, such as in e-Commerce Shopee, Tokopedia and some of them by using a qualitative approach and case studies. One of the triggers for incidents of cybercrime is due to the use of digital marketing which has now gone global, but self-awareness is weak so it is necessary to internalize the values of Islamic business ethics in order to prevent it from within oneself. This study focuses on the economic and business sectors so that the findings can be generalized to other sectors. Then, a descriptive analysis study was used to explore case by case to help categorize research findings. Awareness of information and communication technology security has received less attention due to the proliferation of digital technology innovations which have implications for cybercrimes in the economic and business sectors. Therefore, it is important for business people (users, consumers, and society) to realize that business ethical values are very important in achieving success, not just materially but non-materially. This study describes in depth the benefits of digital marketing on the one hand, and on the other hand the negative impact that results in cybercrime. This study also raises awareness among business people about the importance of Islamic business ethics in the economic and business sectors.

Pertashop is a small distribution agent that serves consumers at the village level far from gas stations. In addition to the General Fuel Filling Station (SPBU), PT Pertamina (Persero) also operates a Pertamina Shop (Pertashop) for purchasing fuel oil (BBM). Pertashop was created to reach areas that are considered far from gas stations. The product being sold is the Pertamax type of fuel, then there is LPG, namely Bright Gas. Pertashop is a sort of channeling institution at the village level. This expands people's access to energy. This means that people who live far from gas stations can use the pertashop that is present at the village level. The problem is that not all of the people, especially immigrants, know the location of the Pertashop location when the situation is urgent, especially the immigrant community. The presence of Pertashop competes with gas stations. The existence of this pertashop is to bring BBM services closer on a small scale to the community, especially those in remote villages or in the interior of the mountains. Besides that, Pertashop is the best choice when the vehicle runs out of fuel. Therefore, based on the problems above, the researcher wishes to overcome these problems in the form of a final project with the title "Geographical Information System for Mapping the Distribution of Pertashop in the Pidie District Based on WebGIS". Hopefully with this system it can help make it easier for the community to find out the location of Pertashop in Pidie Regency.

Authors: Steven  , Oktavia Jessica , Irene  , Wahyudi Irawan
Published: January 2024

Background: Difficulties from cranioplasty are normal in pediatric patients. Be that as it may, insights on cranioplasty procedures, intricacies, and long haul impacts are not surely known. This study does an extensive writing survey to give an outline of current cranioplasty rehearses in youngsters.
Methods: By comparing itself to the standards set by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020, this study was able to show that it met all of the requirements. So, the experts were able to make sure that the study was as up-to-date as it was possible to be. For this search approach, publications that came out between 2014 and 2024 were taken into account. Several different online reference sources, like Pubmed and SCIENCE DIRECT, were used to do this. It was decided not to take into account review pieces, works that had already been published, or works that were only half done.
Result: In the PubMed database, the results of our search brought up 100 articles, whereas the results of our search on SCIENCE DIRECT brought up 417 articles. The results of the search conducted for the last year of 2014 yielded a total 17 articles for PubMed and 7 articles for SCIENCE DIRECT. In the end, we compiled a total of  5 papers, 3 of which came from PubMed and 2 of which came from SCIENCE DIRECT. We included five research that met the criteria.
Conclusion: In summary, the complications for carnioplasty are quite common. Furthermore, the present research lacks well-documented and comparable outcome factors, implying that prospective, long-term multicenter cohort studies are required to optimize cranioplasty procedures in children who will undergo cranioplasty following craniectomy.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

The low level of wages in the country is related to the limited number of jobs available, making people prefer to work abroad. Most Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) choose illegal routes. In many cases of illegal migration, both in the context of internal migration and international migration, the role of "taikong" or labor brokers is very important. As happened in Lumajang Regency, in November 2023, it was recorded in the Lumajang District Court's Case Tracking Information System (SIPP) that there were 6 cases of the Crime of Human Trafficking (TPPO) committed by taikong or brokers in sending and placing PMI illegally abroad. . The aim of this research is to analyze the Taikong or Broker Mode in Lumajang Regency in the Illegal Placement of Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) Abroad and to analyze the factors that cause Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) to choose illegal methods. This research uses empirical legal research with a juridical-sociological approach.

Published: January 2024

This study examines the dynamic impact of agriculture, economic growth, capital, and labor on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Indonesia from 1990-2022. Employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method, the findings indicate that agriculture plays a substantial role in decreasing CO2 emissions in the short and long run. Additionally, a consistent positive correlation exists between economic growth and CO2 emissions, underscoring the difficulty in decoupling economic progress from its environmental repercussions. Capital formation, on the other hand, exerts a noteworthy negative influence on CO2 emissions, particularly in the long run, implying that increased investment in capital formation, potentially in environmentally friendly technologies, could contribute to a gradual reduction in emissions. However, the expanding labor is identified as a significant driver of CO2 emissions, particularly in the long run. Highlighting the challenges associated with mitigating the environmental impact of workforce growth. Furthermore, the Granger causality results indicate unidirectional causality from CO2 emissions and labor to agriculture, from agriculture to economic growth and capital formation, and from economic growth to capital formation. Therefore, promoting sustainable agriculture, aligning economic growth with green technologies, incentivizing eco-friendly investment, integrating comprehensive planning, and maintaining flexible policies are crucial for Indonesia's effective environmental and economic management.

Investigating Bicycle Riding as A Means of Green Mobility in Mubi Metropolis, Nigeria
Authors: Tini Nuhu H. Tini , Bello Ahmed
Published: January 2024

The growing concerns about environmental sustainability and urban congestion have necessitated the promotion of green mobility options to become imperative in modern urban planning. This research explores the potential of bicycles as a sustainable transportation option in the Mubi metropolis, considering its unique geographical, socio-economic, and cultural context. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study gathered qualitative and quantitative data to understand local perceptions, attitudes, and barriers toward bicycle adoption. The findings revealed that the majority of the respondents frequently ride bicycles for various purposes, such as exercise, commuting to work, markets, farms, and schools. Bicycle ownership was found to be higher among the unemployed, but its ridership was greater among the employed. Males were more likely to own and ride bicycles than females. Affordability, health benefits, and congestion avoidance were identified as the top reasons for choosing cycling over other modes of transport. The research also highlighted several challenges associated with bicycle riding, including unsafe parking spaces, theft cases, accidents, injuries, and poor infrastructure conditions. To overcome these challenges, the study suggested measures such as wearing helmets, obeying road signals, and improving road design and safety measures. The research offers valuable insights for policymakers and urban planners in Mubi and similar regions to develop strategies that promote bicycle usage while addressing traffic congestion and air pollution. By advocating bicycle riding as a green mobility alternative, this research aims to improve the overall livability, health, and sustainability of the Mubi metropolis. It also serves as a potential model for other cities facing similar environmental and transportation challenges, contributing to the development of sustainable mobility plans that prioritize environmentally friendly transportation options. Ultimately, the study strives to inspire a transformation towards a greener, more resilient urban transportation system in Mubi and beyond.
