Authors: Yossa Nirma
Published: August 2024

This study investigates parents’ perceived safety on neighborhood bonds and built-environment factors in letting their children roam outside unaccompanied using a qualitative lens. Based on interviews with parents in the Jakarta Greater Area, the research reveals that strong community cohesion and a perceived safe built-environment significantly enhance parents' sense of safety, thereby promoting children’s independent mobility. Conversely, neighborhoods with weaker neighborhood cohesion adding unmaintained built-environments such as and lack of playing field and pedestrian infrastructure heighten parents' fears about allowing unsupervised outdoor activities, thus limiting children's independence. Qualitative insights underscore that parents' primary concerns revolve around perceived risks from traffic and strangers when considering allowing their children to venture out alone. This research underscores the urgency for parents’ education and policy intervention planning that prioritizes walkable, safe routes, and safe parks and fosters strong community ties to promote children’s independent mobility.

Authors: Stojanović Zvezdan , Čajić Elvir
Published: August 2024

Artificial intelligence has greatly penetrated into every pore of modern society and is becoming the driver of its further development. Artificial intelligence is used in all spheres of modern life, starting from medicine, agriculture, traffic control, autonomous vehicles, smart home/building/city concepts. The paper will analyze deep learning as a branch of artificial intelligence where, by applying adequate algorithms, computers are enabled to learn independently from data. In the context of finding user behavior patterns, this technology analyzes large amounts of information to identify specific ways in which users interact with a system or services. These identified patterns are used to personalize the user experience, providing them with individualized services and improving the overall quality of the services offered. This approach allows systems to intuitively adapt their functionality to match the needs and preferences of users, leading to improved user experience and providing customers with customized services. The paper explains the concept of a "smart library", which is based on the application of the concept of deep learning in its work.
Brodovlasnici iz obitelji Ferić i struktura pomoraca na njihovim brodovima
Authors: Jelaska Marijan Zdravka
Published: August 2024

The changes in state borders and the role of the administrative centre that Split acquired in the interwar period affected the significance of certain economic branches in the structure of the city's economy. Shipping trade in Split recorded a rapid rise during the interwar period, and it did not rely on a significant shipping tradition from the previous period. Shipping became a significant economic branch in Split in the interwar period, and in the 1930s, the city was the home to a large number of shipping companies. One of the smaller steamship companies owned by the Ferić family has been chosen as the topic of this paper, which over time was divided into two even smaller ones by the division of family property, on whose examples several issues important for the development of the city, i.e. for changes in its social and economic structure, are analysed. In finding seafarers for their steamships, Marin Ferić's shipping companies did not rely on Split and its surroundings; their seamen came from almost the entire coast of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and from those places that came under the Italian rule after the First World War, and some from the inland. Those seafarers, for whom the data have been preserved, did not move much from their birthplaces to major centres; and most of those who did were educated and a better paid staff – officers, deck officers and engineers. They mostly moved to the centres to which their birth places gravitated, which was not always Split as the headquarters of the company; those were other maritime centres, such as Sušak, Bakar and Dubrovnik. Therefore, these maritime companies did not affect much the profession structure in Split, the headquarters of the company; however, they did increase the citizens’ and farm labourers’ interest in jobs related to maritime economy.
Obračun jugoslavenskih komunista s „narodnim neprijateljem“ u Gorskome kotaru – primjer svećenika Stjepana Horžića
Authors: Krašić Wollfy
Published: August 2024

In historiography and even more so in the public sphere, the Gorski Kotar region has been portrayed as an area where the population during the World War II almost unreservedly supported the People's Liberation Movement led by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. On the other hand, both during the war and in the post-war period, numerous people lost their lives due to the repression of the Yugoslav communists. Based on archival sources, the published and unpublished testimonies of contemporaries, the newspaper reports, and journalistic and scientific literature, this paper refutes the indictment and the death sentence from December 31, 1944 against Stjepan Horžić, the priest who served as a chaplain in the municipality of Mrkopalj and temporarily led the parishes in Ravna Gora and Vrbovsko. The Yugoslav communist court condemned Horžić as the "enemy of the people" who spread the "Ustasha ideology" and the belief in the victory of Nazi Germany and undermined the authority of the People's Liberation Movement in the Gorski Kotar region. However, numerous and diverse sources undoubtedly indicate that Horžić's work did not go beyond the scope of the activities of a Catholic priest, and that he was executed because he was very successful in preventing the influence of the Yugoslav communists among the population of the municipality of Mrkopalj, especially children, youth and women. In other words, it was an ideological contest between Yugoslav communists and members of the clergy of the Catholic Church over the inhabitants of the municipality of Mrkopalj, especially the youth, in which the former side resorted to the use of violence in the most radical form - murder. Chaplain Stjepan Horžić was executed not because he was a "servant of the occupiers" and a "quisling", but because his work as a priest made him an obstacle to the establishment of the totalitarian rule of the Yugoslav communists in Gorski Kotar.

Authors: Ibrahim Bisallah Hashim ,   Department of Computer Science, Kampala International University, Uganda, Yahaya Ibrahim Umoru ,   Department of Computer Science, University of Abuja, Nigeria
Published: August 2024

Fake news analysis and detection is a method that requires using machine learning classifiers to recognize and detect news content as fake or real. No research work has been carried out on fake news analysis and detection using the machine learning algorithms using Truncated singular value decomposition (TSVD) on the ‘ISOT Fake News Dataset’ but there is a need for a better design that can provide better accuracy. This research aims to develop and use systematic progression in identifying fake news analysis using machine learning algorithms with TSVD. The machine learning algorithms which include the light Gradient Boosting Machine, Cat boosting classifier, and support vector machine with TSVD were used on ‘The ISOT Fake News Dataset’ to recognize the fake news from real news in the dataset, thereby improving the performance of these classifiers by cleaning the data to manage the data imbalances more efficiently. The recommended design yields an exactness of 97.33%. The postulated technique out classifies the current classifiers which possess an exactness of 95.05%. We recommend that Machine learning classifiers using TSVD should be applied in Fake News analysis and detection since it gives a better performance accuracy in fake news analysis and detection

Published: August 2024

Over the years, there has been a growing emphasis in scientific research on uncovering students' alternative conceptions or interpretations of fundamental concepts and principles within the field of biology. This endeavor has yielded a wealth of valuable international bibliographic data, particularly about the teaching and reception of the theory of evolution among respondents. Specifically, this paper addresses the theory of evolution, investigating alternative perspectives held by honors graduate students from the third Lyceum for Biology who are enrolled in medical school. Additionally, the study explores how gender influences participants' viewpoints. To achieve these objectives, a comprehensive multiple-choice questionnaire was administered to students, inquiring not only about their background knowledge in biology, including gender, age, and level of interest measured on a Likert scale but also about their understanding of the fundamental tenets of evolutionary theory. A subsequent analysis of the data collected was conducted to determine if there were any correlations between gender and the percentages of correct and incorrect responses, as well as whether these responses were indicative of gender-based patterns or statistical deviations. According to the statistical analysis of the collected data, many honors students within our educational framework hold alternative viewpoints about biological concepts. Furthermore, there was no correlation between misconceptions identified in the questionnaire and variables such as grade in the Panhellenic exams, gender, or interest in biology courses. The findings of this study hold implications for the enhancement of science education, curriculum development, and the ongoing professional development of educators in the field.

Building international student confidence to participate in taught sessions at the graduate level
Authors: Brownhill Simon
Published: August 2024

Over the last few decades, the number of tertiary students studying abroad has grown significantly. This has resulted in instructors teaching an increasingly diverse student body (both culturally and linguistically), particularly at the graduate level. This article focuses its attention on international students whose classroom presence is described by some as being very quiet, with a reluctance to speak up within the learning environment. To positively address this, a suite of original practical strategies is presented for graduate instructors to use to initially build international student confidence to participate during taught sessions. By embracing the notion of silent responses to questions, graduate instructors can be sensitive to select factors which influence international students’ reluctance in participating in classroom activities, supporting their emerging confidence and learning experience at the start of their graduate programme.

Authors: Inaam Faisal Mohammed  , Rukaia Hassan Abass  , Ahmed Khalis Jasim
Published: August 2024

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted pregnant women worldwide. Initial reports suggested pregnancy did not increase severe COVID-19 risk, but emerging data indicate pregnant women may be uniquely vulnerable. This review synthesizes current evidence on COVID-19's effects on pregnant women and their infants.
Methods: A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and Scopus using keywords related to COVID-19 and pregnancy. Original research articles published through January 2023 examining effects of COVID-19 on pregnant women and neonates were included. Study quality was assessed using standardized criteria.
Results: 59 studies met inclusion criteria (n=19,164 pregnant women with COVID-19). Compared to non-pregnant controls, pregnant women had higher odds of ICU admission (OR 1.62, 95%CI 1.33-1.96), mechanical ventilation (OR 1.88, 95%CI 1.36-2.60), and mortality (OR 1.62, 95%CI 1.33-1.96). Preterm birth was more likely (OR 1.47, 95%CI 1.14-1.91). Vertical transmission was uncommon (2.7%, 95%CI 1.73-4.21%). SARS-CoV-2 was detected in placenta (17%), amniotic fluid (5.7%), umbilical cord blood (5.8%), and breast milk (13%). Long-term data remain limited.
Conclusions: Pregnant women are at increased risk of severe maternal outcomes from COVID-19 compared to non-pregnant women. Preterm birth is more likely. Vertical transmission occurs but appears rare. SARS-CoV-2 can be present in fetal compartments and breast milk. Further high-quality studies are urgently needed to optimize management and mitigate COVID-19 effects on maternal and child health.
Legal Protection and Notary Responsibilities: A Review of the Deed of Testament in the Context of Civil Cases
Authors: Robiatul Adawiyah
Published: August 2024

A testament deed is an authentic deed that has perfect proof. Testament is a unilateral will, so it does not require agreement with other parties, as a partij deed, the Notary only formulates the wishes of the Testator, because it involves property it often causes problems so that it is possible for a lawsuit against the testament deed. Analysing the decision of the Yogyakarta District Court No. 58/PDT.G/2011/PN.YK.Problem formulation: Legal protection for Notary related to the deed of will in civil case connected with Law No. 2 Year 2014, and Notary's responsibility towards the deed of will in civil case. The purpose of the research: to know the legal protection for Notary related to the deed of will in civil case in relation with Law No. 2 Year 2014. To find out the responsibilities of the Notary towards the testamentary deed in civil cases. The research method used in this research uses a normative juridical approach with additional interviews. The normative juridical approach is sourced from data collection obtained from library materials and then analysed by qualitative analysis method. The conclusion of the research is that the Notary is only responsible for the formal form of the deed he made, and is not responsible for the content of the deed. The protection of the Notary is that the will deed is a unilateral act, does not need the consent of other parties, as a partij deed, the Notary only formulates the wishes of the Testator, not as a party to the deed (Articles 52, 53 UUJN), besides that it is based on Article 66 of the UUJN which previously had to be approved by the MPD, currently replaced by the Notary Honor Council. Notaries are protected if they have fulfilled the requirements that must be met in making a deed of will. The author suggests that in making a deed, it is necessary to be careful, and adhere to the rules of the Notary Office. In addition, the Notary needs to provide information related to the will deed to the maker of the will and the party concerned. The government is expected to form regulations governing the protection of Notaries.

Authors: Tong Liping , Wijnen Andre J. van , Wang Huaiyu , Chen Di
Published: August 2024

Bone is a mineralized tissue that provides fundamental support for body posture and biomechanical forces. Bones have also been meticulously used by humans as fine tools for at least over 25,000 years, perpetually captivating our curiosity and driving exploration into its mysteries. In this perspective, we revisit the milestones in the history of bone biology since the 17th century, and highlighted the transformative impact of pioneering technologies. From macroanatomical observations to microscopic cellular analyses and molecular signaling pathway explorations, each milestone has heralded groundbreaking discoveries. These include the elucidation of Wollf’s Law, the regulatory mechanisms of calcium metabolism (via osteotropic parathyroid hormone analogs and calcitonin), as well as the revelation of critical cell interactions and signaling pathways in bone remodeling. These foundational insights deepen our understanding of bone as an enigmatic and underexplored tissue, but also yield significant clinical advancements. Bone biology stands poised for an explosive expansion of knowledge as we usher in the era of systems biology, propelled by cutting-edge multi-omics approaches, including single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics, as well as artificial intelligence. Therefore, challenges and future directions are discussed to navigate the complexities of integrating emerging technologies and to foster interdisciplinary collaborations that will propel bone biology research towards innovative breakthroughs and holistic solutions.
Responsabilidad social del maestro rural en América Latina
Authors: Mora  Montero Muñoz Olga Lucía ,   Universidad de Panamá
Published: August 2024

Teacher's social responsibility is a topic that has been gaining importance with respect to the improvement and development of rural education. Currently, different world organizations emphasize rural education, determining responsibilities of the participating agents. The objective of this essay is to argue the importance of the teacher's social responsibility in rural education based on the factors and challenges that face and limit their professional practice. A documentary methodology was used that responds to a historical-interpretative approach in which the cited authors contribute to demarcating the position with a dialectic between the theory and the reality addressed. The social responsibility of the rural teacher is ratified as a determining and crucial factor in the efficacy of rural educational processes. The effective integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in rural education is an important challenge that requires attention in rural areas, including teacher training and access to resources. Limitations persist in the quality of education in rural settings, such as the lack of relationship between the training received by teachers and their professional practice, as well as the need for innovation in pedagogical practices. Finally, rural education continues to be a major challenge in Latin America, and to address it effectively requires a joint commitment of teachers, educational authorities, families and society in general.
Presunción de Paternidad con Respecto al Principio del Interés Superior del Menor
Authors: Valencia Paredes Esteban Andrés ,   Universidad Tecnológica Indoaméricana, Fabián Carrillo Alfredo ,   Universidad Tecnológica Indoaméricana
Published: August 2024

This research, approached from a qualitative perspective, explores the presumption of paternity within Ecuador’s legal framework, focusing on its relationship with the best interests of the child. The research aims to understand how this concept is perceived and what are the personal experiences related to the presumption of paternity, along with emotional and social impact. Methods such as participant observation and legal case analysis are used to collect non-numerical data. The presumption of paternity is established on legal grounds that automatically assign paternity to certain individuals. In Ecuador, this principle plays a crucial role in family relations and in protecting the rights of minors. Establishing a connection between paternity presumption and the child’s best interests is crucial, a key principle in both international human rights law and Ecuadorian legislation. It is argued that the paternity presumption should be interpreted and applied to protect and promote the child’s welfare, even in cases of controversy over true parentage. Therefore, this study aims to enhance the academic and legal debate on paternity presumption in Ecuador, advocating for an approach that ensures the full protection of children’s and adolescents’ rights while respecting fundamental principles of justice and fairness in their family environments.

Published: August 2024

Immune thrombocytopenia is a clinical condition characterized by peripheral destruction of platelets associated with a blood count below 100,000 per cubic millimeter. Mild hemorrhagic manifestations such as petechiae, ecchymosis, and gingivorrhage are the most frequent clinical presentation; however, major hemorrhagic manifestations, which are the most frequent cause of death, develop in 9.6% of adult patients with immune thrombocytopenia. These include intracranial hemorrhage, gastrointestinal bleeding, metrorrhagia, hematuria and epistaxis. Glucocorticoids are used as the first-line treatment of choice. The initial response rate to glucocorticoids ranges between 50 and 90%, but only 10 to 40% of patients maintain long-term remission. In those patients in whom an appropriate therapeutic response is not achieved, the use of an alternative secondline management such as thrombopoietin receptor agonists and rituximab present response rates ranging from 50% to more than 80%. Splenectomy is not recommended within the first year after the diagnosis of immune thrombocytopenia, except in those cases in which there are no other first-line treatment alternatives.

Examining the Suitability of Multiple-Choice Questions for Assessing Grammatical Ability in Foreign Language Testing
Authors: Alsaedi Naif
Published: August 2024

Despite the widespread use of multiple-choice (MC) tests in language teaching and the recognized importance of grammar instruction in language acquisition and assessment, there remains a dearth of research examining the suitability of MC tests for evaluating second language (L2) or foreign language (FL) learners’ grammatical ability – their proficiency in using grammar accurately and effectively across different contexts. This study aims to address this gap by investigating whether MC tests, which assess knowledge of grammar through the selection of correct answers from options, adequately reflect learners’ ability to use grammatical structures accurately, meaningfully, and appropriately. Data were collected from 68 English FL learners using two assessment tools: an MC task and a gap-filling task (GF task). Results indicate significant performance disparities between the MC and GF tasks, suggesting that MC tests may not consistently gauge learners’ true grammatical proficiency. This inconsistency underscores the limitations of MC testing as a singular measure of grammatical ability, particularly in assessing learners’ capacity to apply grammar meaningfully across diverse contexts. Further research is warranted to explore this issue comprehensively.
Disonancia entre la transformación tecnológica y ética periodística: Una reflexión crítica del impacto de la inteligencia artificial en los medios de comunicación
Authors: Molina Bailon Oscar
Published: August 2024

Este manuscrito presenta un análisis crítico sobre el papel de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en los medios de comunicación contemporáneos, integrando perspectivas multidisciplinarias de la filosofía, sociología, comunicación e informática. A través de una revisión de publicaciones académicas y periodísticas, se examina la evolución histórica de la IA en el periodismo, sus aplicaciones actuales y los desafíos éticos y prácticos que conlleva su implementación. El estudio pone de relieve cómo la IA está transformando la producción y distribución de información, explorando problemáticas como los sesgos algorítmicos, la personalización de contenido y su impacto en la integridad periodística y el debate público. Se enfatiza la necesidad de desarrollar enfoques de regulación y gobernanza que garanticen un uso ético y responsable de la IA en los medios, considerando las implicaciones prácticas de su implementación. Este análisis busca contribuir al desarrollo de un marco conceptual sólido para la evaluación crítica del papel de la IA en el periodismo, buscando un equilibrio entre la innovación tecnológica y la preservación de la integridad periodística. En última instancia, a través de este monográfico se busca enriquecer el debate académico y contribuir al desarrollo de un marco conceptual sólido para la evaluación crítica de esta área de estudio en constante evolución.
Influencia de la inteligencia artificial en la comunicación de crisis: perspectivas de los profesionales de la comunicación
Authors: Micaletto Belda Juan Pablo , Polo Serrano David
Published: August 2024

La inteligencia artificial surge en un contexto social caracterizado por la creciente necesidad de hacer frente a las crisis de comunicación. Estos fenómenos se han vuelto cada vez más frecuentes en la era virtual, donde se han acelerado los modos en los que se produce y se gestiona la información. En este artículo se analizan las valoraciones vertidas por un grupo de expertos en estas materias. El principal objetivo es determinar los aspectos positivos y negativos que conlleva el uso de la inteligencia artificial en la comunicación de crisis. Con la finalidad de alcanzar esta meta, se ha diseñado un estudio descriptivo abordado desde una perspectiva inductiva. Así pues, se ha realizado un focus group y una encuesta, con profesionales de estos ámbitos, con el fin de explorar las amenazas y oportunidades de la aplicación de herramientas generativas en contextos de crisis. Los resultados muestran que el análisis de información, la ayuda en la toma de decisiones, la creación de contenidos o la realización de piezas publicitarias son algunos de sus beneficios. Por el contrario, la posible proliferación de bulos, la falta de formación o el riesgo de depender en exceso de esta tecnología representan algunos desafíos. A modo de conclusión, todo apunta a que la inteligencia artificial tendrá un papel significativo en el desarrollo de futuras crisis de comunicación y que será clave para gestionar y salvaguardar la reputación de las marcas.
Cultura de la Conectividad y Análisis de Contenido mediante Inteligencia Artificial, propuesta conversacional y debate metodológico
Authors: Rodríguez-Cano César Augusto
Published: August 2024

La inteligencia artificial generativa es un entramado tecnocultural que supone alcances y desafíos para la renovación metodológica en las ciencias sociales. En ese contexto, se propone el modelo denominado Análisis de Contenido mediante Inteligencia Artificial (ACIA) como una posibilidad analítica para enfrentar la llamada cultura de la conectividad (Van Dijck, 2013), en que la masividad, la multimodalidad, la interactividad y la brevedad de los mensajes desborda la cotidianeidad de la interacción social hiperconectada. Mediante una propuesta inicial con el apoyo de tecnología conversacional y en el marco de la discusión de los métodos digitales (Rogers, 2013), enmarcada en términos de rigor y vigilancia epistemológica, se configura un debate metodológico en el que la relación entre prácticas de investigación crítica y técnicas computacionales automatizadas se desenvuelve afirmativamente en matrices de modelado y reflexividad incesante para el quehacer científico contemporáneo.
The role of family in improving the management of diabetes mellitus patients

Introduction: diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that requires long-term management involving patients and their families. The role of the family in improving the management of diabetes mellitus patients is very important to achieve good blood sugar control and prevent long-term complications. This study aims at the role of family in improving the management of diabetes mellitus patients.
Methods: this research is a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental research design with a non-equivalent control group research design with a sample size of 20 respondents
Results: shows that in the intervention group, most family roles have a good category where respondents have family roles are as many as 7 people (70%) and respondents who have poor family roles are as many as 3 people (30%). While in the control group, respondents who had poor family roles were as many as 8 people (80%) and respondents who had good family roles were as many as 2 people (20%). In the final measurement (Post-test) in the intervention group and the control group, p = 0, 028 or p < 0.05 means that there are differences in family roles in both groups in the final measurement (Post-test)
Conclusions: the role of the family is very important in improving the management of diabetes mellitus patients. Family support and involvement in assisting patients in living a healthy diet, following the right medication regimen, and maintaining an active lifestyle can help achieve good blood sugar control and prevent long-term complications. Factors such as knowledge of diabetes, emotional support, and ability to manage diabetes-related situations also influence the family's role in the management of this condition. Therefore, education to families about diabetes, the psychological and practical support they provide to patients, as well as their involvement in healthy lifestyle changes are important things to note.
