Le prophète et la vérité. Une approche spinoziste de l’écologie moderne
Authors: de Lucia Dahlbeck Moa , Lantoine Jacques-Louis
Published: January 2023

Le discours international actuel sur l’écologie s’est mué en un mouvement qui s’identifie avec le discours de la vérité scientifique. L’exemple de Greta Thunberg et de ses appels à l’action illustre dans quelle mesure l’identité actuelle du mouvement enveloppe un paradoxe qui lui est inhérent. D’une part, elle s’appuie sur la nature auto-explicative et claire des idées vraies. D’autre part, pour propager ces idées, elle fait résider son pouvoir rhétorique dans l’impact émotionnel. L’approche par Spinoza de la relation entre raison et foi, telle qu’elle apparaît quand on juxtapose les passages pertinents de l’ Éthique et ceux du Traité théologico-politique qui décrivent la prophétie, constitue un cadre théorique susceptible de rendre compte de ce paradoxe inhérent à l’écologie moderne.

Authors: Kumar Anoop , Khan Aziz , Arora Rajan , Abdeljawad Thabet , Karthikeyan K. , Houas Mohamed
Published: January 2023

Herein the research objects, a hyperbolic quasi-linear system of governing equations was solved by an asymptotic method (far-field technique) with explaining a 1-D unsteady planar and cylindrically symmetric flows in magnetogasdynamics. The evolution equation was obtained by generalized Burger's equation. A relatively accurate systematic result of the evolution equation was gotten by us through the analytic homotopy analysis method (HAM). We are allowed by the method to determine the various effects of nonlinearity and geometrical spreading. One of the fundamental problems of conservation laws are represented by the non-linear waves from preliminary data.
Some results on multivariate measures of elliptical and skew-elliptical distributions: higher-order moments, skewness and kurtosis
Authors: Yu Xueying , Yin Chuancun
Published: January 2023

The kurtosis and skewness of distributions are important measures that can describe the shape of a distribution, and there have been many results for symmetric distributions, but there are still many difficulties and challenges in the characterization of skew distributions. Based on the results of Mardia's and Song's kurtosis measures of elliptical distributions obtained by Zografos [1], we generalize the results and study some measures for elliptical and skew-elliptical distributions. We also derive the expressions of moments of skew-elliptical distributions in terms of the ones of skew-normals and take skew-$ t $, skew-Pearson type Ⅶ and skew-Pearson type Ⅱ distributions as examples.
Population Projections, Food Consumption, and Agricultural Production are Used to Optimize Agriculture Under Climatic Constraints
Authors: AMIRI Nassima , Yacoubi Mohammed , Messouli Mohammed
Published: January 2023

Climate change is expected to have a significant impact on agricultural production both locally and globally. High temperatures and irregular precipitation projected by the IPCC could lead to a decline in agricultural production, which would require significant changes in agricultural practices. A concomitant factor to climate change will be the increase in population and its distribution and level of consumption, which also influences agricultural production strategies, the conversion of agricultural land, and the type of irrigation. Determining the impacts of these forcings on land use will depend on our understanding of past changes in the agricultural sector (cereal) and how future climate change will occur. It is proposed to develop an innovative methodology that will integrate agricultural production, socio-economic statistics, demographic trends, and patterns of agricultural land use caused by climate change and human development.

Authors: Sreelakshmi D.  , Sarada K.  , Sitharamulu V. , Vadlamudi Muniraju Naidu , Saikumar K.
Published: January 2023

In the past decades, medical image technologies have been rapidly growing. The x-rays, ultrasound (US), MRI scan, and CT scan are the pulmonary techniques to examine human diseases, and CT techniques have more resolution images than other techniques. HRCT is another advanced technology derived from the CT family and working in 3D to capture the images. High-resolution computed tomography techniques are used to examine all humankind's problems like heart, brain, breast, lung, kidney, etc. The diagnosis accuracy depends on expert doctors, radiologists, or pathologists, and wrong judgment leads to wrong treatment or diagnosis. To overcome this, a computer-based technology is introduced instead of manual operation because of its higher efficiency, accuracy, and achieved by transfer learning methods.

Authors: Keikhosrokiani Pantea , Asl Moussa Pourya , Chu Kah Em , Anuar Nur Ain Nasuha
Published: January 2023

In recent years, South-Asian literature in English has experienced a surge of newfound love and popularity both in the local and the global market. In this regard, Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things (1997) has garnered an astounding mix of positive and negative reactions from readers across the globe. This chapter adopts an artificial intelligence approach to analyse netizen readers' feedback on the novel as documented in the book cataloguing website Goodreads. To this end, an opinion mining framework is proposed based on artificial intelligence techniques such as topic modelling and sentiment analysis. Latent semantic analysis (LSA) and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) are applied and compared to find the abstract “topics” that occur in a collection of reviews. Furthermore, lexicon-based sentiment analysis approaches such as Vader and Textblob algorithms are used and compared to find the review sentiment polarities.
Arrhythmia Classification Based on Bi-Directional Long Short-Term Memory and Multi-Task Group Method
Authors: Munawar Shaik , Angappan Geetha , Konda Srinivas
Published: January 2023

Early and accurate classification of arrhythmia helps the experts to select the treatment for the patient to increase the recovery rate. The deep learning method of convolution neural network (CNN) is used for classification, and this has an overfitting problem. In this research, the multi-task group bi-directional long short term memory (MTGBi-LSTM) method is proposed to increases the performance of arrhythmia classification. The multi-task learning technique learns two ECG signals in shared representation for effective learning. The global and intra LSTM method selects the relevant feature and easily escapes from local optima. The MTGBi-LSTM model learns the unique features in shared representation that helps to overcome overfitting problem and increases the learning rate of the model. The MTGBi-LSTM model in arrhythmia classification is evaluated on MIT-BIH dataset. The MTGBi-LSTM model has 96.48% accuracy, 97.73% sensitivity, existing AFibNet has 96.36% accuracy, and 93.65% sensitivity for arrhythmia classification in CPSC 2018 dataset.
Effective Classification of Chronic Kidney Disease Using Extreme Gradient Boosting Algorithm
Authors: Busi Ramya Asalatha , Stephen M. James
Published: January 2023

With a high rate of morbidity and mortality, chronic kidney disease is a global health issue that also causes other diseases. Patients frequently overlook the condition because there aren't any evident symptoms in the early stages of CKD. An efficient and effective Extreme gradient boosting method for the early diagnosis of kidney illness has been proposed in this paper to explore the capability of various machine learning algorithms. DenseNet can extract a variety of features such as vector features. After that feature extraction phase, the data are fed into the feature selection phase. The features are selected based upon the Improved Salp swarm Algorithm (ISSA). The proposed CKD classification method has been simulated in PYTHON. Utilizing the CKD dataset from the UCI machine learning resources, the dataset is then tested. Sensitivity, accuracy, and specificity are the performance metrics used for the proposed CKD classification approach. The results of the experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the present state-of-the-art method in classifying CKD.
Extending the Reach of Quality With CARF Accreditation
Authors: Boon Brian Joseph
Published: January 2023

Accreditation is a common method to assess quality and plan for improvements in the delivery of health and human services. CARF accreditation was established to create standards of quality for specialty programs in rehabilitation and for community-based services. Since its inception, the person-served has uniquely been the focus of standards design, with specificity to program-based standards that address “person-centered” service needs. As a quality improvement model, CARF's standards are referenced as typical to another respected quality assessment and improvement model, ISO standards. The importance of ensuring a person's served focus in the health and human service industry is discussed with benefits of a peer review accreditation system and experience of accreditation based on CARF customer feedback and those served. It is posited that long-term growth for accreditation and CARF's mission, to “enhance the lives of persons served through a consultative accreditation process,” will sustain CARF's global acceptance and contribute to improving lives in our communities.
Brief Narrative Writing Program Implemented in a Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Holliday Ryan , Ricke David J. , Ricklefs Claudia , Mealer Meredith
Published: January 2023

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially affected health care professionals. Health care professionals have noted increased distress, psychiatric symptoms, and feelings of burnout during this time. Implementation of brief, easy-to-access psychosocial interventions might help health care professionals process stressful events, thus bolstering mental health. One such approach is the narrative expressive writing program, a 5-session cognitive behavioral writing intervention.

Objectives

The narrative expressive writing program was instituted in a neurosurgical intensive care unit during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program was delivered online and guided by a licensed mental health professional.

Methods

Health care professionals completed measures of anxiety, depression, burnout, resilience, and perceived stress before and after completing the narrative expressive writing program. Fifty-eight health care professionals initiated the program; 31 (53% of initiators) completed it.

Results

Health care professionals who completed the narrative expressive writing program experienced significant reductions in depressive symptoms and perceived stress (P < .05).

Conclusions

Preliminary data show that narrative expressive writing is an easy-to-access intervention that has the potential to decrease stress and depressive symptoms. Additional research on tailoring or augmenting the narrative expressive writing program may facilitate health care professionals’ engagement and address other mental health domains (eg, burnout).

Authors: Lisee Caroline Michele , Bjornsen Elizabeth , Horton W. Zachary , Davis-Wilson Hope , Blackburn J. Troy , Fisher Matthew B. , Pietrosimone Brian
Published: January 2023

Context

Adolescents and adults are treated similarly in rehabilitation and research despite differences in clinical recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Aberrant gait is a clinical outcome associated with poor long-term health post-ACLR but has not been compared between adolescents and adults.

Objective

To compare gait biomechanical waveforms throughout stance between adolescents (<18 years old) and young adults (≥18 years old) post-ACLR.

Design

Case-control study.

Setting

Laboratory.

Patients or Other Participants

Adolescents (n = 13, girls = 77%, age = 16.7 ± 0.6 years, height = 1.7 ± 0.1 m, weight = 22.2 ± 3.7 kg/m2) were identified from a cross-sectional cohort assessing clinical outcomes 6 to 12 months post-ACLR. Young adults (n = 13, women = 77%, age = 22.3 ± 4.0 years, height = 1.7 ± 0.1 m, weight = 22.9 ± 3.3 kg/m2) were matched based on sex, time since surgery (±2 months), and body mass index (±3 kg/m2).

Intervention(s)

Participants performed 5 gait trials at their habitual speed.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Three-dimensional gait biomechanics and forces were collected. Vertical ground reaction force normalized to body weight (xBW), knee-flexion angle (°), knee-abduction moment (xBW × height), and knee-extension moment (BW × height) waveforms were calculated during the stance phase of gait (0%–100%). Habitual walking speed was compared using independent t tests. We used functional waveforms to compare gait biomechanics throughout stance with and without controlling for habitual walking speed by calculating mean differences between groups with 95% CIs.

Results

Adolescents walked with slower habitual speeds compared with adults (adolescents = 1.1 ± 0.1 m/s, adults = 1.3 ± 0.1 m/s, P < .001). When gait speed was not controlled, adolescents walked with less vertical ground reaction force (9%–15% of stance) and knee-abduction moment (12%–25% of stance) during early stance and less knee-extension moment during late stance (80%–99% of stance). Regardless of their habitual walking speed, adolescents walked with greater knee-flexion angle throughout most stances (0%–21% and 29%–100% of stance).

Conclusions

Adolescents and adults demonstrated different gait patterns post-ACLR, suggesting that age may play a role in altered gait biomechanics.
A Biblical response to Neil deGrasse Tyson’s rejection on God’s Intelligent Design
Authors: Fernandes Pontas Surya , Chia Philip Suciadi , Sinaga Donna Crosnoy
Published: January 2023

Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of the most famous scientists in the United States. In particular, Tyson has expertise as an astrophysicist and hehas written several books and received extraordinary awards as an Astrophysician. Tyson is not only a scientist, he also recognizes himself as an agnostic. Tyson’s disbelief in the existence of God by seeing various event such as volcanoes, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, pestilences, and birth defects that produce suffering is totally against the Nature of Almighty God. Tyson considers God's intelligent Design as a philosophy of ignorance or neglect. The subject raised by Tyson that rejects God’s omnipotence and His Intelligent Design is categorized as a Problem of Evil. This article rejects Neil deGrasse Tyson's opinion built on God's teleological and theodicy philosophy as a form of defense of God's intelligent design and God's omnipotence. It is evident that a plan is needed for the existence of every creature by looking at integrated goals and structures. The
beauty of the world also shows the existence of God's intelligent design as the Great Creator. Because the universe has been designed for the life of living things themselves, a plan is needed that is produced through a Person for the lives of the living things themselves. God's omnipotence means that God has no limits and He is able to do something that is impossible for anyone else who is limited through one’s nature and ability. Evil itself arises from humans who are God's creations, but they have free will. The very existence of Evil cannot detract from God's purpose in the creation of the universe. Evil itself requires the existence of an objective standard of goodness with a metaphysical foundation, namely God himself. Christianity cannot ignore the existence of evil itself. Crime is a reality. Crime itself is divided into three types: moral crime, physical crime and natural crime. Evil is in a sense very dependent on the existence of God who opposes evil. Evil cannot take away the Providence of God who has a wise, good and holy purpose. James has taught that there are different attitudes in the face of trials (James 1:2-18). Believers are encouraged to be diligent in facing
trials that make one's personality mature and give one spiritual strength. People who believe Jesus Christ is God, have hope as the children of God to obtain certainty of the afterlife in the future based on striving for ideal conditions in their earthly human life. These notions support the existence of God's intelligent design and His Omnipotence.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: This study aimed to describe the general and specific context of hospitalizations for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the Brazilian public health system and its main indicators of cost-effective care in the period before and during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Method: The main assistance and economic indicators of care related to AMI were evaluated, along with the Brazilian public health system, from January 2011 to April 2021, comparing the pre-covid indicators and those during the pandemic. The research data were descriptive and exploratory, using data from the Ministry of Health. The main data evaluated were lethality, number of hospitalizations, average length of stay and hospitalization costs. The ARIMA and general regression models were used to analyze the monthly outcomes pre and during COVID-19, thus enabling changes in the care and economic behavior of AMI cases in the public health system. Results: Hospitalization for AMI has increased over the last 10 years, with a slight decrease during COVID-19. There was an equally slight increase in lethality, with a significant decrease in the mean length of stay of hospitalized patients. The economic aspects of IAM show that more than US$ 762 million were invested during the reporting period. The average ticket presents a clear decrease in investment per capita, with a real devaluation of 70.04% in the period from 2011 to April 2021, which may be related to two main hypotheses: (1) increased effectiveness and (2) cost analysis of the effectiveness of care and/or chronic underfunding of the Brazilian public health system. Conclusion: There was a historical increase in hospitalizations and a reduction in IAM-related deaths.

As a result, the English learners make errors when they lack the writing skill and knowledge. This study aims to reveal the fragments, run-ons, and comma splices in selected types of paragraphs, namely descriptive paragraph, paragraph of logical division of ideas, process paragraph, and comparison-contrast paragraph. The empirical, quantitative approach is used to identify the frequency of each kind of error in the paragraphs written by students of English Department in University of Widya Dharma Pontianak in academic year 2021/2022. To conclude, the errors occur mostly in comparison-contrast paragraphs (37.96%) as there are different ways of organization. Furthermore, the most frequent kind of error is fragment (66.67%), which is missing an independent clause (41.67%). This is due to the students’ experiencing incomplete thought or their having an afterthought following their previous finished sentence. Lastly, the paragraph of logical divisions of ideas has the least errors (13.89%) and the kind of error that rarely occurs is run-on (9.26%).

Authors: Monica K
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Dairy farming has been part of agriculture for thousands of years since the early days of man when he decided to start domesticating animals. This paper aims to determine the extent to which dairy animal nutrition and animal health influences the level of milk production. The aim of the study is also to determine the role played by animal hygiene in improving and sustaining milk production as well as the extent to which observance of animal welfare influences the performance of the cattle in terms of mil production.

Methodology: This paper adopted a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main the themes.

Findings: The study deduced that animal nutrition to a very great extent influence milk production. The study found out that preserving water supplies and feeds from contamination and feeding animals on good quality feeds influenced milk production to a very great extent. Adopting appropriate farm management practices such as milking hygiene, environmental sanitation, and regular veterinary care (e.g., periodic check-ups, prompt treatment of illness) of cows helps to assure the well-being of dairy cows and reduce their risk of infections such as clinical mastitis. It is important to ensure good milking techniques since incorrect techniques can result in a higher mastitis risk and injury to the cow which translates to lower level of milk production or even contamination of milk.

Recommendations: Creating awareness on the dairy farming practices, changing behavior and being equipped in the necessary skills on dairy farming practices would improve the level of milk production.
Role of Women in Peace Building in Zambia: Case of Northern Province
Authors: Mofya Teddy Ngosa
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Women have contributed to peace building in different ways. However, the contribution appeared to have been underplayed in many societies. It is for this reason that this study sought to bring out the modern-day nature of the role played by women in peace building in Zambia – a case of Northern Province. The objectives of the study were to: to identify situations that called for peace building; to determine the role played by women in situations that needed peace building; and to determine the challenges of women involvement in peace building situations in Northern Province since 1964.

Methodology: The study used Mixed-method design. This was done over a population comprising traders, teachers, medical staff, village headmen and villagers. A sample size of 150 respondents was used. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically while the quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS.

Findings: The study revealed that women have played an important role in peace-building. However, lack of women involvement in peace building was caused by lack of: biblical understanding; or low education; respect for human rights; interest and self-confidence by the women themselves; and lack of interest by the women themselves and obstruction by systems and laws.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practices: The study reaffirmed the importance of women participation in peace-building and politics. Chiefdom wrangles during succession periods and land disputes; and electoral violence were the major sources of large-scale conflict in Northern Province. Respondents revealed that they observed people at community levels were engaged in peace building consciously or unconsciously. Institutions such as the local authorities and private sector responded they practiced peace building. As a contribution to theory, the study revealed that conflict at lower levels of society can be more lasting and intense in countries that have not experienced countrywide conflict. The study reaffirmed the challenges hindering women participation in peace building in Zambia. This will empower practitioners with a better understanding of issues affecting women in rural Zambia. Policy makers can make use of the findings of the study to devise ways of preventing the contextual challenges women face in the process.
