The importance of health from elementary school to secondary school means that we know what is useful for health and what can reduce health. There are several objectives why health education needs to be provided, including, achieving changes in individual, family and community behavior, in fostering and maintaining healthy behavior and a healthy environment, as well as an active role in efforts to realize optimal levels of health and in accordance with the concept of healthy living both physically and mentally. , mental and social so as to reduce morbidity and mortality rates. (Gagnon, 2024). The health of school-age children, which includes nutritional adequacy, health status, and various disease risk factors, can be predicted and managed to achieve optimal health in the future. Serang City has 30 state junior high schools, until now, there is no information system for health education for school-age children that is integrated between the Health Service and the Serang City Education Office. The information system shows that basic health is an important issue in the success of education, which if it can be done optimally will provide benefits for students because education that uses technology in the current era of digitalization is considered more in line with current developments. The aim of this research is to analyze the needs for children's health information systems in junior high schools by mapping out a picture of information system needs that can be used to improve health education. This research is a type of descriptive research. The results of this research show that students need information media that integrates technology through Android-based applications using software.

Authors: Nyandjock Leonie , Kede Charles , Solange Leng Marlyse
Published: February 2025

Childhood malnutrition is a current and perpetual public health concern in many African countries. Challenges remain the difficulty in formulating nutritionally adequate diets. This study was carried out to produce maize based complementary flour from maize, soybean, germinated maize, dried calyxes of Hibiscus sabdariffa and fresh cut leaves of Gnetum africanum, groundnut paste and table sugar. The nutritional quality of the flour blends was then assessed. Results indicate that the flour blendes satisfy the recommended energy and macronutrients requirements according to set standards. Thus, the flour blends can be used for managing protein-energy malnutrition. The zinc and iron contents also respect the standards. However, calcium fortification is needed to fulfill the standard. In all cases, the weaning flours need to be fortified with more micronutrients or supplemented with synthetic nutrients to meet the micronutrients codex standard and this represent a challenge for future study.

Authors: Ntayagabiri Jean Pierre , Bentaleb Youssef , Ndikumagenge Jeremie , El Makhtoum Hind
Published: February 2025

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has introduced significant security challenges, necessitating robust attack detection mechanisms. This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of ten supervised learning algorithms for IoT attack detection and classification, addressing the critical challenge of balancing detection accuracy with practical deployment constraints. Using the CICIoT2023 dataset, encompassing data from 105 IoT devices and 33 attack types, we evaluate Naive Bayes, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Logistic Regression (LR), k-NN, XGBoost, Random Forest (RF), LightGBM, GRU, LSTM, and CNN algorithms based on some performance metrics. The comparative test results show superior performance to the traditional ensemble approach, with RF achieving 99.29% accuracy and leading precision (82.30%), followed closely by XGBoost with 99.26% accuracy and 79.60% precision. Deep learning approaches also demonstrate strong capabilities, with CNN achieving 98.33% accuracy and 71.18% precision, though these metrics indicate ongoing challenges with class imbalance. The analysis of confusion matrices reveals varying success across different attack types, with some algorithms showing perfect detection rates for certain attacks while struggling with others. The study highlights a crucial distinction in IoT security: while high precision remains important, the potentially catastrophic impact of missed attacks necessitates equal attention to recall metrics, as evidenced by the varying recall rates across algorithms (RF: 72.19%, XGBoost: 71.69%, CNN: 64.72%). These findings provide vital insights for developing balanced, context-aware intrusion detection systems for IoT environments, emphasizing the need to consider performance metrics and practical deployment constraints.

Greek Philosophy: Western Thought's Basis
Authors: Kallolickal Dr. Vinodkumar
Published: February 2025

From its beginnings in the sixth century BCE to its enduring influence on current intellectual debate, this article explores the significant contribution that Greek philosophy made to the evolution of Western thinking. It highlights important thinkers including Thales, Anaximander, Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle as it examines the shift from mythological justifications to logical investigation. Fundamental ideas in cosmology, ethics, and epistemology were influenced by the distinct ideas that each philosopher contributed. The essay highlights how Anaximander's idea of the apeiron brought a dynamic view of the cosmos, while Thales' innovative use of observation and reason established the foundation for natural philosophy. The way that Pythagoras combined metaphysics and mathematics demonstrated how these two disciplines are intertwined. By emphasizing moral integrity and introspection, Socrates' ethical questions and the Socratic Method revolutionized philosophical discourse. These concepts were further cemented into a coherent framework that still influences contemporary thinking by Plato's investigation of justice and reality. In the conclusion, this analysis highlights Greek philosophy's continuing significance in conversations concerning morality, identity, and the search for wisdom, demonstrating its function as a pillar of modern philosophical inquiry.
Exploring the Evolution of Weaponry: From the Stone Age to
Modern Times
Authors: S Dr.Sajeer
Published: February 2025

This study examines the significant evolution of weaponry from the periods preceding and following the Stone Age, highlighting the transition from basic tools to sophisticated arms. In the Stone Age, early people utilized natural resources like stone, wood, and bone to fabricate essential survival tools. These weapons spears, hand axes, and arrows were crucial for hunting and defense. Notwithstanding their simplicity, these tools demonstrated exceptional innovation; each design emphasized practicality and efficiency. Spears, for instance, possessed keen stone tips that allowed hunters to confront enormous game while preserving a safe distance. Likewise, hand axes, adaptable in their use, functioned as implements for chopping, excavating, and several other activities essential to daily life. The narrative advances into the post-Stone Age period, characterized by significant technological and artisanal innovations. The emergence of metallurgy, especially the use of copper, bronze, and iron, signified a transformation in weapon manufacturing. Metal implements and weapons exceeded their stone equivalents in strength, durability, and versatility, facilitating reshaping and sharpening as required. This period marked the emergence of swords, shields, and armour, indicating both practical advancement and the complexity of military strategies. The bow and arrow experienced innovations that provided greater accuracy and increased range, while the advent of siege apparatus like catapults and battering rams highlighted a strategic transformation in warfare, emphasizing the breach of constructed defenses. These innovations significantly influenced the development of human societies. They enabled territorial expansion, impacted commercial networks, and integrated into cultural traditions. Weapons transcended their functional use, serving as symbols of authority and rank, embodying both practicality and symbolism. The evolution from rudimentary stone implements to sophisticated armaments illustrates humanity's unwavering pursuit of advancement, reflecting flexibility and the persistent endeavor to prosper in the face of changing difficulties and conditions

Royle's pika (Ochotona roylei) is an important species in the Himalayas. Understanding the relationships between this species and its environment is essential for its sustainable management. The current study was conducted in the Jagran Forest Range, a potential area of Royle’s pika distribution in the Neelum district of Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJ&K). To examine how Royle's pika uses and prefers its habitat, indirect signs, such as counting pellet groups, and direct observations using a focused scan-sampling method were employed. To understand the seasonal patterns of habitat use, surveys were conducted in three different seasons: summer, monsoon, and autumn, from April to November 2022. The habitat preference and other topographic factors, such as elevation, slope, aspect, and plant cover, were analyzed in three major localities and nine different types of habitats within the study area. Royle’s pika was observed to be distributed in 86 out of 159 sampling sites in the Jagran Forest Range, within an altitudinal range of 2663-4282 meters above sea level (asl). The use of different habitat types by Royle’s pika was significantly different among the three seasons (F = 28.11; df = 2, 16; p<0.001). Pikas predominantly use higher altitudes (3000 – 3500 m) with significant differences among seasons (F = 45.133; df = 2, 12; p<0.001) and localities (F = 71.912; df = 2, 12; p<0.001). Moreover, they showed a high preference for herbs in the study area (IEI = 0.238). Royle’s pika appears to select habitats which provide both food and cover simultaneously regardless of the season.

Authors: Sarkingobir Yusuf , Yusuf Yahaya Miya
Published: February 2025

AbstractProper food consumption is vital for human survival. The objective of this paper was to conduct a review of empty calories present in processes foods, effects, and relations. Empty calories such as junk foods, ultra processed foods, u healthy foods, fast foods are foods consumed by many because of their luring properties. However, they contain high amount of added solid fat or added sugars or sodium or additives or all. The presence of contents of empty calories elicit many effects such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, fatigue, mental disorders, insatiety, etc. Empty calories possessed high amounts of added calories that could are not properly metabolized into useful nutrients by the body. There indeed presence of excess added sugar, excess solid fat, excess sodium. Added sugar causes insulin resistance and other comobidities, solid fat causes clogging of blood vessels and further aftermaths, sodium elicit hypertension. However, there is little or zero presence of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) in empty calories, a situation that I cut micronutrients deficiencies and further impacts. Additionally, the additives, containers (plastics) are harmful to health as well. People easily become addicted to empty calories due to natural love for sugar, poor awareness, cheapness of the products, etc. It is emphatic to echo that, government should regularly and carefully monitor consumption and buying of empty calories in the society, parents should monitor wards, teachers and health experts should educate the public on this pressing concern

Authors: Patella Barbara
Published: February 2025

With this paper, dedicated to the Vocabolario Toscano dell’Arte del Disegno (1681), we would like to valorise the seventeenth-century work by Filippo Baldinucci, which is particularly relevant for lexicography and language history, as it represents the first specialised dictionary produced in Italy. In order to investigate Baldinucci’s dictionary from a historical-linguistic perspective, the research moved in two main directions: on the one hand, by exploring Baldinucci’s heritage in the Vocabolario degli Accademici della Crusca, in this case investigating the reception of Baldinucci’s Vocabolario in the last two editions of the Crusca, the IV and the V (making use of two databases, the Lessicografia della Crusca in Rete and the Quinta Crusca virtuale); on the other, measuring the semantic-lexical contribution of the Vocabolario (concerning not only the language of art) through the collection of numerous first attestations. Finally, the article closes with a last part, which shows the first tests carried out on the lexicographic text (the Vocabolario) in electronic format, created for the Baldinucci Lessicografo ed Erudito database.

An Empathetic Inquiry into Ethno-Nationalist Movement in East Bengal: A Struggle from Cultural Recognition to a Separate Nation-State
Authors: Khan Sagheer Ahmad
Published: February 2025

It's ironic that East Bengal, the region with the majority population, found itself striving for autonomy and eventual separation from the region with the minority population. Scholars have extensively studied this movement for autonomy and separation. However, these studies often lack proper contextualization within a nation-state framework that sensitises ethnic groups regarding their share of power. Since ethnic consciousness is inherently subjective, this study aims to understand the evolution of the movement from the perspective of Bengali intelligentsia and political activists involved in the movement. Therefore, an empathetic inquiry has been employed in this study.

It is argued that the continual decline in East Pakistan's share of power fueled sentiments of autonomy and separation among its populace. Consequently, there existed a negative correlation between the diminishing share of power and the growing public commitment to a distinct Bengali identity in the case of East Bengal. In conclusion, the movement evolved from cultural expression, followed by economic rationalization, and escalated to its political manifestation through mass mobilization and ultimately led to civil war because of denial of due share in power through electoral means.

Tabligh dalam perspektif Islam merupakan salah satu aspek fundamental dalam penyampaian wahyu Allah kepada umat manusia. Konsep ini tidak hanya mencakup penyampaian pesan agama secara lisan, tetapi juga mengandung tanggung jawab moral, etika, dan sosial yang harus diemban oleh para da'i. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji konsep tabligh dalam Islam, peranannya dalam kehidupan sosial, serta tantangan yang dihadapi dalam pelaksanaannya di era modern. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan pustaka dengan menganalisis sumber utama dalam ajaran Islam, seperti Al-Qur'an, Hadis, dan literatur ulama klasik maupun kontemporer. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa tabligh bukan sekadar penyampaian informasi agama, tetapi juga mencakup upaya mendidik dan membina umat agar dapat menginternalisasi ajaran Islam dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Selain itu, berbagai tantangan dalam konteks sosial, budaya, dan perkembangan teknologi modern turut mempengaruhi efektivitas tabligh. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan strategi dakwah yang adaptif dan berbasis hikmah agar pesan Islam dapat diterima dengan baik oleh masyarakat.
Dos experiencias económicas: Japón y Estados Unidos desde 1990
Authors:   Ingeniero Industrial, Aranzadi Claudio , Lucena Betriu Maurici ,   Economista
Published: February 2025

Tras el fuerte crecimiento económico de Japón desde la finalización de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la desaceleración de la economía norteamericana a raíz de la crisis del petróleo, la década de 1990 ha representado una inversión de las expectativas económicas predominantes a finales de los ochenta para EE.UU y Japón. En este trabajo pretendemos señalar algunos factores que subyacen a los patrones de crecimiento económico tan diferenciados de estos dos países desde 1990. A grandes rasgos, por una parte, la prolongada expansión económica estadounidense y la ulterior fase recesiva suave vienen explicadas por el intenso aumento de la productividad, debido sobre todo a la producción y difusión de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. Por otro lado, en Japón, los efectos macroeconómicos del estallido de las burbujas bursátil e inmobiliaria de principios de los noventa se combinaron con las fragilidades inherentes al modelo económico japonés, de características fuertemente idiosincrásicas, para dar lugar a una situación de estancamiento económico y deflación.
El papel del sistema financiero en la crisis de la economía estadounidense
Authors:   Analistas Financieros Internacionales, Cantalapiedra César , García Mora Alfonso ,   Analistas Financieros Internacionales
Published: February 2025

Uno de los elementos determinantes en la diferenciación de la crisis estadounidense sobre la japonesa es la mayor solvencia de su sistema financiero en su concepción más amplia. La mejor selección de riesgo crediticio por parte del sector bancario norteamericano y su orientación hacia los segmentos menos castigados por la recesión, han permitido una transmisión adecuada de las medidas expansivas de política monetaria. Pero no menos eficaz ha sido el papel desempeñado por los mercados financieros, con un protagonismo creciente en la canalización de financiación a los grandes prestatarios. El racionamiento del crédito que impusieron los inversores mayoristas obligaron a los emisores a llevar a cabo políticas de saneamiento que han demostrado ser más eficaces y menos discrecionales que las restricciones impuestas por la banca en otros episodios de crisis o en otras economías con una interdependencia entre la banca y la industria más estrecha. Por el momento, los ratios de solvencia y rentabilidad de la banca norteamericana superan a los de la banca europea y japonesa. No obstante, esta valoración no está exenta de riesgos, sobre todo si se generaliza la deflación a otros activos, en especial, al mercado inmobiliario.

Authors: Pandey Adya
Published: February 2025

Digital economies backed by technological advancements have led to digital markets, newer business models and products. Digital markets are integrating into global economies since the pandemic, replacing the traditional markets. This innovative and effective transformation is challenging as it entails risks for anti-competitive practices harming the economy and the consumers ultimately. Governments and competition law authorities are not prepared to deal with these challenges for lack of understanding the digital markets, their functional dynamics and the inefficacy of existing competition laws. Competition authorities are tasked with identifying the possible anti-competitive risks associated with digital markets and find a balance between mitigating the harmful effects of the anticompetitive conducts and fostering innovation through newer products and services offered by these markets. Predicting the evolution of these markets is also a challenge for the authorities. Anti-competitive practices through digital platforms pose concerns for consumers, competitors, governments and society at large. This paper explores the unique characteristics of digital markets and their potential challenges for competition law authorities tasked to detect and curb anticompetitive practices. Global cooperation and interdisciplinary approach is necessary to tackle the problem and foster fair competition in digital markets, to safeguards consumers interest while promoting innovative business practices.

Authors: Bella Lucinta Rillova Arif Lubis  , Dianni Arma Wahyu Setia Ningsih  , Dewi Purwanti  , Armaita  , Linda Marni  , Nomira Putri
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a significant global health concern, often leading to severe complications such as bacteremia, respiratory failure, and septic shock. Bacteremia, detected through blood cultures, is a critical indicator of systemic infection and is associated with worse clinical outcomes, including prolonged ICU stays and higher mortality rates. With the rise of antimicrobial resistance and advancements in vaccine research, understanding the current epidemiology and management of CAP, particularly bacteremic CAP, is essential. Methods: This systematic review adheres to PRISMA 2020 guidelines and aims to evaluate the prevalence, risk factors, diagnosis, management, and complications of CAP, with a focus on bacteremia. Studies published between 2019 and 2025 were included, focusing on diagnostic methods, treatment strategies, and outcomes. Data were extracted from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Results: Nine studies were included, highlighting trends in diagnostic practices, antibiotic stewardship, and the effectiveness of various treatment regimens. Key findings include increased use of C-reactive protein (CRP) and chest X-rays (CXR) in primary care, the benefits of syndromic molecular testing for pathogen-directed treatment, and the comparative effectiveness of antibiotic regimens such as beta-lactam plus macrolide (BL+M) and fluoroquinolones (FQ). Studies also emphasized the importance of clinical evaluation in interpreting diagnostic results and the need for optimized antibiotic use to reduce complications. Conclusion: This review shows the importance of evidence-based diagnostic and treatment strategies for CAP, particularly in managing bacteremia. While advancements in diagnostics and treatment have improved outcomes, challenges such as antibiotic resistance and underutilization of risk stratification tools remain. Future research should focus on optimizing diagnostic accuracy, treatment efficacy, and antibiotic stewardship to improve patient outcomes.

Data yang dikumpulkan dianalisis menggunakan uji reliabilitas, korelasi, dan regresi linear untuk memahami hubungan antara variabel-variabel yang diuji. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa instrumen yang digunakan memiliki reliabilitas yang baik (Cronbach's Alpha = 0,831), dan terdapat pengaruh signifikan penggunaan media sosial terhadap produktivitas belajar mahasiswa, dengan koefisien determinasi (R²) sebesar 0,355 dan tingkat signifikansi p < 0,05. Temuan penelitian ini mengindikasikan bahwa durasi dan jenis aktivitas di media sosial memiliki korelasi moderat dengan produktivitas belajar mahasiswa, yang berarti penggunaan media sosial tidak hanya terkait dengan hiburan, tetapi juga dapat mempengaruhi efektivitas belajar. Studi ini memberikan wawasan penting bagi pengembangan strategi pembelajaran dan penggunaan media sosial secara lebih bijaksana untuk meningkatkan produktivitas belajar.

The role of intangible heritage in defining the identity profile of a community is essential. Heritage is closely linked to collective memory and is an integral part of our existence. Our mission is to identify, research, and preserve it, and then make it accessible to the public. Culinary cultural heritage is part of the category of intangible heritage that deserves investigation and appreciation, especially in the context of the increasing concern regarding identity and relationship with others. The example analysed in this paper is provided by the eCULTFOOD platform (http://ecultfood.ub.ro), which includes audiovisual documents representing culinary recipes collected through field surveys in localities of Bacău County, Romania, during the period 2016-2017.
