Published: October 2024

This study aimed to demonstrate the benefits of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on burn healing and to investigate whether patients' age, burn wound size, wound stage, and total burned surface area influence the burn wound healing response to LLLT. This was a quasi-experimental study with a single-group design that included eighty male and female patients with partial-thickness burn wounds recruited from burn units. The participants were placed in a single intervention group receiving LLLT. The duration of the intervention was six weeks, divided into 18 sessions (three sessions per week). The statistical analysis was conducted using version 25 of the SPSS statistical package for Windows. The results showed a statistically significant negative relationship between wound improvement from LLLT and age (p < 0.05) and between total body surface area (TBSA) and wound improvement (p < 0.05). Additionally, a statistically significant positive relationship was found between initial wound size and wound improvement (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant relationship between wound improvement and wound stage (p > 0.05). The current study revealed that age, TBSA, and initial wound size can predict the efficacy of low-level laser treatment for burn wounds.

قراءة القرآن على الجنائز بين العادة والعبادة في ليبيا، هذا عنوان من العناوين التي لم يتم البحث فيها من قبل بحثا علميا بالنظر في إلى ظروف
الناس وعاداتهم ونظرتهم إلى هذه المسألة في ليبيا، وذلك لما له من أهمية علمية للوقوف عن الأسباب الرئيسية وراء تمسك الناس بها.
هل أهل ليبيا يعتبرون هذا الفعل من العادات أو هو من صميم العبادات، أو يتردد بين العادة والعبادة، وكيف أثر هذا في اختلاف الحكم الشرعي بسبب هذا التردد.
إن هذه القضية من القضايا الفقهية القديمة، وهي محل نزاع بين الفقهاء في وصول الثواب للميت من عدمه، وهذا قد دونت به الكثير ممن المؤلفات والبحوث، ولكن الجديد هنا أنهم استخدموا القياس في الاستدلال على جواز من يرى ذلك، وركن إلى ظاهر النصوص من منعه، وأن هذه القضية في ليبيا تتردد بين العادة والعبادة، ومن حيث أنها مرتبطة بالقرآن والدعاء بعده والصدقة، فإن هذه عبادة من العبادات الشرعية، ومن حيث ارتباطها وتعاقها بالجنائز وتعد من مراسم العزاء فإنها تدخل في العادات، وعلى هذين التقسيمين يختلف الحكم، فمن يرى أنها للعادات أقرب حكم بجوازها انطلاقا من قاعدة الأصل في العادات الجواز إلا بدليل، وخلافه من يرى أنها من العبادات أخذ بتكملة القاعدة، الأصل في العبادات التوقف إلا بدليل.

Authors: Candra Wesnedi  , Ahmad Syukri  , Kasful Anwar
Published: October 2024

This study was conducted to see the work commitment of the Madrasah principal in improving the effectiveness of Private Junior High Schools (MTs) in the Riau Islands. As an effort to improve the quality of education in madrasas, it is hoped that private madrasas can compete with other public schools. This study uses a qualitative approach that describes the object of study through the process of extracting facts and object data in the field. Data collection techniques use interviews, observation and documentation. Data analysis techniques use data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions or verification. The results of the study indicate that the work commitment of the Madrasah principal in improving the effectiveness of private MTs in the Riau Islands is not optimal, because there are still many aspects that have not been achieved in terms of realization, budget constraints for the procurement of Madrasah facilities and infrastructure, increasing the professionalism of human resources, and other facilities that are still very limited. For this reason, the head of private MTs in the Riau Islands Province tries to improve the effectiveness of madrasas by implementing strategic educational development concepts. The roles played by the head of the Madrasah are; 1) focusing on common interests, 2) improving communication and understanding, 3) increasing involvement and participation, and 4) avoiding win-lose solutions. These roles are very helpful in realizing increased effectiveness of education in madrasas.

CRIMINALISTICS IN THE ERA OF ACCELERATING SCIENTIFIC, TECHNICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS
Authors: Zinkevich T.I.
Published: October 2024

At the current stage of criminalistics, the primary task is the systematic improvement of methods for investigating criminal offenses. The continuous advancement of knowledge in information technology enables the prediction of an increase in this type of crime and enhances the evaluation of evidence in criminal proceedings. New identification methods are actively being integrated into practice, assisting investigators, experts, and specialists in employing various investigative tools, even at the stage of trace detection.

Hans Gross, a proponent of scientific discoveries and innovations, believed that all advancements could be useful in conducting investigations. He asserted that knowledge in every field was essential. Today, we can state that criminology straddles nearly all scientific disciplines. Scientific research in the field of forensic examination is often more beneficial than purely theoretical studies. This research focuses on developing appropriate tools that enable competent institutions to assert the truth effectively and objectively.

The synergy between criminology and new technologies addresses the evolving needs of the criminal process. For many decades, there has been a prevailing belief that collaboration among scientists, practitioners, criminologists, and procedural experts with representatives from the natural and technical sciences is crucial for effectively developing and implementing scientific and technical methods in criminalistics and criminal proceedings. This collaboration ultimately modernizes the processes of proving and investigating criminal offenses.

It is anticipated that artificial intelligence, frequently discussed today, will be increasingly utilized to prevent crime. The capabilities of digital technologies allow for the rapid processing of vast data sets, presenting positive prospects. Therefore, it is essential not to hinder research initiatives in the field of information technology.
CORRUPTION IS A HUMILIATION OF THE HONOR AND DIGNITY OF A PERSON
Authors: Kultai Birzhanova , Zhazira Tarap
Published: October 2024

Since gaining independence, the issue of effective anti-corruption has become one of the most important concerns in Kazakhstan’s society and state. The most common definition of corruption is the abuse of an official position or power for personal gain. By a broader definition, corruption is an abuse of trust.

Of particular concern is the destructive impact of corruption on the moral foundations of society, as it distorts the nature of the values historically developed by mankind and emasculates their content. Corruption, derived from the Latin term "corrumpere," is defined by the grim word "to corrupt," which should be understood as a moral and legal decline in society and the state.

Objectively, moral harm manifests in the deteriorated psychological state of individuals, resulting in feelings of humiliation, helplessness, fear, and the inability to lead an active, creative, and initiative-driven life. In public consciousness, there arises a sense of indifference to societal interests, along with an acceptance of corruption and the illegal, insulting actions of state representatives.

Therefore, there must be a growing recognition in our country that previous methods of combating corruption are ineffective and will not yield the expected results. The urgent need for a decisive reform of the entire public service system hinges on changing the consciousness of individuals, both within society and among civil servants.
SOME CHANGES IN THE USE OF THE NATIONAL GUARD AS PART OF THE EVOLUTION OF MILITARY DOCTRINE
Authors: Aliyev K.E.
Published: October 2024

The article discusses the main changes in the use of the National Guard of the Republic of Kazakhstan within the framework of the evolution of the state's Military Doctrine. Since the independence of Kazakhstan, six Military Doctrines have been adopted. The author examines each of these doctrines, analyzing their implications and highlighting the role of the National Guard within the national security system, particularly its crucial function in ensuring military security.

The article reveals that the construction, development, and strategic use of the National Guard of the Republic of Kazakhstan have been guided by the requirements outlined in the Military Doctrines. It emphasizes the main characteristics and features of modern military conflicts, as well as the primary tasks associated with the development of the state’s military organization, including the National Guard, which is responsible for maintaining internal security.
CONSTITUTIONAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE CRIMINAL LAW POLICY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN
Authors: Rogov I.I.
Published: October 2024

This article is dedicated to the study of the constitutional foundations of the criminal law policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The author identifies several fundamental principles that underpin not only lawmaking but also law enforcement, including: the principle of legality, the principle of equality of citizens before the law and the court, the principle of culpable responsibility, the principle of justice, the principle of humanism, the principle of economy in criminal repression, and the principle of the inevitability of criminal responsibility and punishment.

A more detailed examination is given to the presumption of innocence, which is regulated by the Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic. According to Article 19 of this code, everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty in accordance with the procedures established by this code and confirmed by a court verdict that has entered into force.

The author analyzes the constitutional norm outlined in paragraph 2 of Article 17 of the Constitution, which is crucial for determining the main directions of the state’s criminal law policy. It highlights the challenge of distinguishing between the reasonable sufficiency of repression (as punishment can entail certain hardships and deprivations) and its cruelty.

In this context, the influence of universally recognized principles and norms of international law on Kazakhstan's criminal law policy is evident, as noted in part two of Article 1 of the Criminal Code. In 1998, the Republic acceded to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, adopted by UN General Assembly Resolution 39/46 on December 10, 1984. The recommendations made by the UN Committee against Torture, following its review of Kazakhstan's initial report on the implementation of this Convention, have been fully adopted by the Republic.

FEATURES OF THE LEGAL REGULATION OF THE TRANSFER OF A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE
Authors: Musayev E.M.
Published: October 2024

The article emphasizes the importance of regulating relationships in the field of physical culture and sports, specifically examining the legal aspects of contractual relations within sports. It focuses on the legal regulation of transfer contracts for professional athletes and discusses the restrictions that may be imposed when an athlete moves from one sports organization to another. The article outlines the distinctive features of sports transfers and recommends conditions for the transfer procedure.

Currently, the Civil Code, Labor Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and other laws do not specifically address these agreements. As a result, organizations and clubs, leveraging the freedom to conclude contracts, often rely on their internal regulations to establish relationships. In practice, these contracts typically include two main conditions: the timing of the transition and the amount of compensation payments.

Unfortunately, as noted, the transitions (transfers) of athletes and coaches from one team to another, as well as their rentals, remain insufficiently regulated and protected forms of employment. Most often, sports organizations rely on the regulations set forth by their respective federations when arranging a transfer.

The article argues that providing professional athletes with suitable working conditions necessitates the establishment of a regulatory framework that extends beyond traditional labor relations, taking into account the specific role of regulation in this area of sports relations. It also points out that neither the athlete (nor coach), nor their professional abilities and skills, nor potential future sports results constitute objects of civil rights. This distinction is crucial for understanding the legal nature of the transfer process.

Contrastive Analysis of the French-Gbari Segmental Phonologies
Authors: Omage Paschal Dada
Published: October 2024

The structure of a learner’s first language affects his acquisition of a second one, especially a foreign one like French. This paper presents a segmental contact between French and Gbari languages, with a view to empirically ascertain their points of convergence and divergence, using the Lado’s Contrastive Analysis model. It bridges the gap created by lack/inadequacy of academic validation in the French-Gbari segmental contact, hinging on secondary sources of data as well as on quantitative and qualitative analyses of data. Given the 68%-24% segmental difference ratio (SDR) French has over Gbari, such as /y/, /œ/, /ø/, /ʁ/, /ɲ/, /ɔ͂/, /œ͂/, /ɑ͂/, /ǝ/, /ɥ/, /ɛ/, /ɛ͂/, etc., coupled with the predictable phonological processes such as (de)nasalisation, palatalization, assimilation, delabialisation etc., the Gbari French-Learner (GFL) may have to relentlessly study and enthusiastically double his efforts so as to overcome the seemingly insurmountable challenges. The paper ends by recommending that second language teachers should engage in instant one-on-one approach in correcting phonetic flaws with students/learners.

Published: October 2024

One of the important subclasses of abelian paratopological groups is called the free abelian paratopological group on a topological space. It was introduced in 2003 by Remaguara, Sanchis, and Tkachenko. In this paper, we introduce a single submonoid of the free abelian paratopological group on Alexandroff space, then we prove that this submonoid is a base at the identity element of the free topology of the abelian group. The main result of this paper is to give applications of this submonoid such as studying separation axioms, compactness, and other properties of the free topology on the abelian group. Keywords: free group, Abelian paratopological group, free abelian paratopological group, Alexandroff space, neighborhood base at an identity.

Published: October 2024

Heavy metals are chemical elements with high density and atomic weight. Despite their widespread use in various industries and applications, they pose significant risks to the environment and public health if not handled properly. This study was conducted to estimate the concentration of some different elements in different types of cakes, where cake samples were collected from different shops from Al-Bayda city, the study dealt with six types of cakes. Flame photometer was used to estimate sodium and potassium salts and spectrophotometer to estimate heavy elements. The samples were digested using the digestion method using HNO1 and HCl and heating until the brown oxides evaporate and we get half the amount. The results showed that the concentration of sodium, chromium, iron and copper is below the permissible limits and the concentration of potassium is higher than the permissible limits and the results also showed that the collected cake samples do not contain lead and a discrepancy was observed .The potassium concentration ranged from (541. 50 to 763.25), sodium concentration ranges from (1.34 to 3.52), iron concentration ranges from (1.72 to 7.16), copper concentration ranges from (44.36 to 67.62), and chromium concentration ranges from (0 to 0.25). The study could be expanded to include other types of cakes, such as filled cakes to provide a more comprehensive picture of heavy metal contamination in these products. More heavy metals, such as mercury, arsenic, and cadmium, could be analyzed to more accurately assess health risks. Keywords: Heavy metals, Cakes types, market and Al-Bayda – Libya.

Authors: Hamad Khaleefah Shihab , A. Mostafa Salama , Gunasekaran Saraswathy Shamini , Farooq Khattak Umar , Ahmed Jubair Mohammed , Afyenni Rita
Published: October 2024

A smart grid is an electricity transmission system that uses digital technology to control getting and dispatching electricity from all generation sources to satisfy end users' fluctuating electricity demands. It achieves this through deploying technologies such as technology and smart grids, which are pivotal in increasing the power supply's efficiency, reliability, and sustainability to the public. Decentralized Smart Grid Control (DSGC) is a system where the control and decision-making functions are distributed to different grid points instead of in one central place. This paradigm is critical for the fault resistance and efficiency of the grid because it enables the local regions to carry on by themselves, manage electric power flows, respond to changes, and integrate many kinds of energy sources successfully. The grid frequency is monitored via the DSGC to ensure dynamic grid stability estimation. All parties, from users to energy producers, may take advantage of the price of power tied to grid frequency. The DSGC, a vital component of this research, gathered information about clients' consumption and used several assumptions to predict the behavior of the consumers. It establishes a method to assess against current supply circumstances and the resultant recommended pricing information. This research proposes a long short-term memory (LSTM) model to analyze data gathered regarding smart grid characteristics and predict grid stability. The results show a strong capacity for the LSTM model, achieving an accuracy of 96.73% with a loss of just 7.44%. The model also achieves a precision of 96.70%, recall of 98.18%, and F1-score of 97.43%.

Published: October 2024

Having a healthy baby is a dream for mothers. Unfortunately, high maternal and fetal mortality has become a vital problem that requires early risk detection for pregnant women. A cardiotocograph examination is necessary to maintain maternal and fetal health. One method that can solve this problem is classification. This research analyzes the optimal use of k values and distance measurements in the k-NN method. This research expects to become the primary reference for other studies examining the same dataset or developing k-NN. A selection feature is needed to optimize the classification method, particularly for improving accuracy results. This study used the cardiotocography dataset from cardiotocograph examinations related to fetal conditions. The cardiotocography dataset consisted of 2,126 records with 22 features and variables. It also had three classification classes, normal, suspect, and pathological, from the Universal Child Immunization Machine Learning Repository website. It employed the K-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) method and the backward elimination feature with ordinary least squares regression. The test in this research applied the scenarios of three distance calculations, i.e., Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance, and Minkowski distance, as well as four variations of k values. Evaluation of each scenario indicated the accuracy of the confusion matrix and execution time. This study compared K-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) and Backward Elimination methods with K-nearest neighbor (k-NN) without selection features. The best accuracy of the Backward Elimination and K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) methods was 91%, as was the K-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) method without selection features. Both had similar k values (k = 3) and Manhattan distance. The backward elimination method reduced the number of features from 22 to 14. Meanwhile, the execution times of the Backward Elimination and K-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) methods got better results as each distance averaged 26.54, 19.23, and 68.09 seconds. K-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) execution times without selection features were 26.83, 19.39, and 68.84, respectively. In conclusion, backward elimination did not increase accuracy because it yielded the same accuracy. However, backward elimination and K-nearest Neighbor (k-NN) produced faster results, with differences of 29%, 16%, and 75%, respectively.

This paper introduces an enhanced approach for detecting shuttlecock. Detecting fast-moving objects, such as a shuttlecock, is crucial in various applications, including badminton video analysis and object tracking. Many deep-learning techniques have been proposed in literature to address this challenge. However, low image quality, motion blur, afterimage, and short-term occlusion can hinder accurate detection. To overcome these limitations, this research focuses on improving the existing method called TrackNetV2, which utilizes the U-Net architecture. The primary enhancement proposed in this study is incorporating residual learning within the U-Net architecture, emphasizing processing speed, prediction accuracy, and precision. Specifically, each U-Net layer is augmented with a residual layer, enhancing the network's overall performance. The results demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms the existing detection accuracy and reliability technique.

The measurement of gas flow in energy transactions from an energy-producing company to an energy user is essential to evaluate, considering that measurement errors can accumulate, and losses can occur, which will be ongoing. The gas measurement process begins with measuring pressure and temperature parameters and the gas flow volume transacted. Then, the measured gas volume will be converted into a standard volume as the basis for gas buying and selling transactions (custody). This article conveys that a wireless volume corrector has been designed using the ESP32 microcontroller with Wi-Fi communication that can be integrated with the internet to support automatic meter reading systems. The measured data is collected in a database server using XAMPP, an open-system web server. Data stored on the database server is displayed via a web browser with a display of the last 5 data entered the web server. The web browser display is refreshed every second so that the display on the web browser is a live or online display. This research resulted in temperature, pressure, actual flow, and volume standard measurements with an error below 0.1%, which met the metrology requirements, instilling confidence in the system's reliability. This research proves that realizing a volume corrector with IoT technology can be done cheaply.
Performance Comparison of GLCM Features and Preprocessing Effect on Batik Image Retrieval

Published: October 2024

The use of the Grey-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) for feature extraction in image retrieval with complex motifs, such as batik images, has been widely used. Some features often extracted include energy, entropy, correlation, and contrast. Other than these four features, the addition of dissimilarity and homogeneity features to the GLCM method is proposed in this study. Preprocessing methods such as Histogram Equalization (HE) and Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) are also used to see whether the two methods can increase the precision value of the retrieval results. This study used the Batik 300 dataset, which consists of 50 classes. Batik was chosen because this type of image has complex patterns and motifs so that it will maximize the role of the GLCM method itself. In addition, Batik is also a world heritage art, so its sustainability needs to be maintained. The test results show that adding dissimilarity and homogeneity features and using the CLAHE method in the preprocessing step can improve model performance. Combining these two methods has produced higher precision values than not using either. Batik, a globally recognized art form, holds the status of a world heritage, necessitating the preservation of its sustainability. Test results have demonstrated that incorporating dissimilarity and homogeneity features, alongside using the CLAHE method during the preprocessing stage, leads to enhanced model performance. The amalgamation of these two methods has yielded precision values that surpass those achieved when either method is used in isolation.

This research aims to develop learning media in the form of an intelligent fuel system simulator, namely electronic fuel injection (EFI) on motorbikes, which focuses on developing the addition of Quick Response (QR) codes as additional information from the simulator, which is connected to video on the YouTube platform. With the help of the QR code, it is scanned using a smartphone so that the QR code can be connected directly to YouTube, providing additional information about the Smart simulator EFI system on motorbikes. This research was carried out by applying the Research and Development method and following the Plomp model, which consists of the following stages: (1) preliminary investigation, (2) designing and making a prototype, and (3) assessment. The existing simulator was developed by adding a QR code, and the QR code will be connected to videos that have been uploaded on the YouTube platform. QR codes are created using the online QR code generator platform. Assessment of the smart simulator is carried out through a questionnaire filled out by media experts and subject experts, as well as through observation sheets during smart simulator testing. The research results are a smart simulator product for EFI fuel on motorbikes equipped with a QR code. Evaluation by media and material experts shows that the smart simulator is declared valid. Meanwhile, the results of observations during product testing show that the smart simulator can describe the characteristics of the EFI fuel system on a motorbike according to the actual situation.

Given the complicated pressures brought on by the fast pace of urbanization, innovative and long-lasting solutions to the issues arising from urban expansion are needed. To ensure a greater standard of life for their citizens and make sustainable growth one of their long-term goals, cities will need to make more inventive, persistent, and successful changes to their infrastructure. Nonetheless, smart cities require complex solutions to problems involving ICT, economics, government, social issues, the environment, and transportation. The sustainability of smart cities is now a topic that academics, environmental policymakers, and governmental organizations are more interested in. Depok's smart city must be evaluated to determine its capacity to fulfill the desired vision to help implement the Movement Towards 100 Smart Cities. This study offers an evaluation approach for the Depok smart city. Three indices were used to construct an integrated evaluation approach: the IMD Smart City Index 2023, The Cities of the Future Index, and the Global Power City Index. None of the indexes' results include all six of the Depok Smart City's necessary dimensions. Thus, the advice was to merge the three indices into an integrated evaluation approach for evaluating the six primary dimensions of the Depok Smart City. The results of this study also offer a sample measurement statement according to Depok Smart City. Furthermore, follow-up actions that the government or stakeholders can take to improve Depok's smart city performance include implementing the integrated matrix indicators and evaluating their validity and relevance in the real world.
