Construction Of Law No. 33 Of 2014 As A Means Of Protecting Muslims In Indonesia
Authors: Faiki La Ode
Published: April 2024

The Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia Year 1945 expressly states that the State: protect the entire Indonesian Nation, and all Indonesian bloodshed promote general welfare and educate the life of the Nation, and Participate in creating world peace (ayat 4 of the 1945 Constitution). To protect all Nations, the State through the Government has full authority to make regulations or policies so that the objectives of the State are achieved. One form of the State's commitment to protect the community is the birth of regulations regarding the protection of the community in general and the protection of Muslims in particular. The two regulations are Law No. 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection and Law No. 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Guarantee. The main purpose of these two laws is certainly very noble, namely to protect consumers against manipulative business actors. In rumsan, its articles have explicitly determined consumer rights and obligations for business actors. Although the two laws above have been implemented, the reality is the community has not been able to realize its goals, because there are still business actors who sell products that are not fit for consumption according to Law No. 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, and according to Law No. 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Guarantee.
A Fine-Tuned CatBoost-Based Speech Disorder Detection Model
Authors: Dutta Ashit Kumar , Wahab Sait Abdul Rahaman
Published: April 2024

The classification of speech disorders (SDs) is crucial for treating children with speech impairment (SI). An automated SD classification can assist speech therapists in rendering services to children with SI in rural areas. Automated techniques for detecting SDs provide objective assessments of speech attributes, including articulation, fluency, and prosody. Clinical examinations and quantitative assessments provide an in-depth understanding of the patient’s speaking abilities and limitations. Existing deep learning (DL) models for SD detection often lack generalization across diverse populations and speech variations, leading to suboptimal performance when applied to individuals with different linguistic backgrounds or dialects. This study introduces a DL-based model for classifying normal and abnormal speeches using voice samples. To overcome the overfitting and bias, the authors construct convolutional neural network models with the weights of MobileNet V3 and EfficientNet B7 models for feature extraction (FE). To improve performance, they integrate the squeeze and excitation block with the MobileNet V3-based FE model. Similarly, the EfficientNet B7-model-based FE is improved using the structure pruning technique. The enhanced CatBoost model differentiates the normal and abnormal speeches using the extracted features. The experimental analysis is performed using the public dataset that contains 4620 utterances of healthy children and 2178 utterances of children with SI. The comparative study reveals the exceptional performance of the proposed SD classification model. The model outperforms the current SD classification models. It can be employed in clinical settings to support speech therapists. Substantial training with diverse voice samples can improve the generalizability of the proposed model.

Multispecies Ethnography
Authors: Ameli Katharina
Published: April 2024

How are natures and animals integrated inclusively into research projects through Multispecies Ethnography? While preceded by a vision that seeks to question holistically how scientists can integrate natures and animals into research projects through Multispecies Ethnography, this book focuses on inter- and multidisciplinary collaboration. From an examination of the interfaces between social and natural science-oriented disciplines, a complex view of natures, humans, and animals emerges. The insights into interdependencies of different disciplines illustrate the need for a Multispecies Ethnography to analyze HumansAnimalsNaturesCultures. While the methodology is innovative and currently not widespread, the application of Multispecies Ethnography in areas of research such as climate change, species extinction, or inequalities will allow new insights. These research debates are closely interwoven, and the methodological inclusion of the agency of natures and animals and the consideration of Indigenous Knowledge allow new insights of holistic multispecies research for the different disciplines. Multispecies Ethnography allows for positivist, innovative, attentive, reflexive and complex analyses of HumansAnimalsNaturesCultures.
The Future of HIV Vaccine Development, Learned Lessons from COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Mohamed Yehia
Published: April 2024

With nearly 13 million new HIV infections in 2022, it is imperative that as many preventive options be available to those most at risk. Without doubt, an effective vaccine would be a game changer, and despite the disappointments and challenges, the development of an effective HIV vaccine should remain a priority. The past few years have been tough for HIV vaccine research, with several high-profile trials being stopped early and others having negative results. With every setback, however, there are lessons to be learned. Neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs), either by giving infusions of bnAbs or by eliciting the immune system to generate its own, are the main emphasis. The focus seems to be on the development of mRNA vaccine approaches using technologies pioneered during the development of COVID-19 vaccines. mRNA platforms are being used in many of the current phase 1 vaccine studies. The quick development of mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 will likely not be repeated with HIV, which is a much more formidable immunological foe than SARS-CoV-2. However, it is reassuring that vaccine trials are moving to sub-Saharan Africa, and large mRNA manufacturing facilities are being planned for the region.

Authors: Yadav Monika , Ahuja Neha , Singh Abhishek
Published: April 2024

: Managing a patient with maxillofacial trauma poses significant challenges, and when the patient is pregnant, these challenges are further heightened for an anesthesiologist. The optimal strategy to aid trauma patients is to provide immediate care, which includes managing the airway both in the pre-hospital setting and with advanced interventions within the critical first hour post-trauma, often referred to as the "golden hour." In this report, we detail the case of a twenty-week pregnant patient with maxillofacial trauma, which was successfully managed by a multidisciplinary team at our trauma center. This article outlines the initial assessment and management upon arrival, intraoperative anesthetic procedures, and postoperative critical care provided to the patient. It also examines the factors contributing to airway management challenges and discusses the most effective strategies involving airway devices, maneuvers, and techniques that proved beneficial in handling difficult traumatic airways.

Authors: Hashemipour Mahin , Amin Mohammad Mehdi , Mozafarian Nafiseh , Hovsepian Silva , Hashemipour Reza , Kelishadi Roya
Published: April 2024

Background: Previous evidence suggests that exposure to organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) may contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes. Objectives: The relationship between OCPs and type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children and adolescents is not well understood. We aimed to explore the association between organochlorine pesticide levels and T1D in this population. Methods: In this case-control study, we included 147 newly diagnosed T1D cases and 147 healthy controls. Spot urine samples were collected from children under 15 years old in both groups to measure organochlorine pesticide levels. We analyzed six OCPs: β-HCH, heptachlor, aldrin, heptachloro epoxy, α-endosulfan, and p,p'-DDD, categorizing them into tertiles. We examined the relationship between urinary OCP levels and T1D, adjusting for age, sex, duration of breastfeeding, Body mass index (BMI), family history of diabetes, and five dietary patterns. Results: The average urinary concentration of p,p'-DDD was significantly higher in cases than in controls (0.15 (0.07 - 0.3) vs. 0.09 (0.04 - 0.2) μg/g creatinine, P < 0.001). After adjustments for age, sex, breastfeeding duration, BMI, family history of diabetes, and dietary patterns, a significantly positive association was observed between the highest levels of p,p'-DDD, and T1D (odds ratio (OR) = 4.9; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2 - 12.3). Additionally, participants in the middle tertile of urinary β-BHC had a higher OR for diabetes compared to those in the lowest tertile (OR = 2.9; 95% CI: 1.2 - 6.8). No association was found between other OCPs and T1D. Conclusions: These findings highlight a potential role for p,p'-DDD, and β-BHC in the development of T1D, urging further investigation into the mechanisms of this association and potential preventive strategies in this area.
Combating STEM Moral Disengagement
Authors: Cruz José A. , Frey William ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2024

Arguably, STEM undergraduate education has narrowed student engagement with the social, ethical, and global. Our paper argues that disengagement is caused by a failure of moral imagination. We propose socio-technical analysis as the cornerstone to a more inclusive approach to STEM education. It promotes four activities: (1) zooming in on technologies by describing their structure, function, and embedded values; (2) zooming out to the surrounding socio-technical system which constrains and enables the technology’s functioning; (3) moving back-and-forth through Appropriate Technology to assess the fit of the technology to its socio-technical surroundings; and (4) using the capability approach to finish the (re)engagement process. We then look at graduate and undergraduate student work that has successfully used our framework to combat disengagement and conclude by discussing materials we have used to assess student engagement.
Creating authentic and effective practice scenarios for digital simulation-based conversation training
Authors: Gousseva Natasha , Pluymaekers Mark , Hulsbergen Michiel H.
Published: April 2024

In this article, we describe and illustrate a five-step process model for designing practice scenarios for digital simulation-based conversation training, in which learners practice challenging conversations with a virtual character. To maximize the likelihood of a successful learning experience, it is important that these practice scenarios are perceived as authentic by learners, and that they are based on relevant theory and validated expertise from experienced professionals. Our process model describes the steps that developers can take to (1) uncover implicit expertise concerning professional conversations, (2) build a validated conversation model including feasible response options and (3) optimize the play experience so that learners feel sufficiently immersed and engaged while using the simulation-based training. The design process, which is cyclical in nature, is illustrated by means of a case study in which we developed a training for cross-cultural job interviews. Furthermore, we provide practical templates and examples of questions that can be asked to experts and learners during preliminary testing of the scenario. By doing so, we aim to make the process of designing training scenarios more transparent and duplicable, and help developers to avoid pitfalls and tackle conceptual and practical challenges that arise during the design process.

Published: April 2024

It is vital to have the correct fertiliser arrangement for effective tree development, fruit yield, and essential fruit quality. The amount of fertiliser suggested with adequate nutrition will be maintained in the soil to supply the needs of the trees as they grow throughout the various growth stages. This study evaluated the effect of different combinations of Nitrogen(N), Phosphorus(P), and Potassium(K) on the vegetative flush physiology of Harumanis mango (Mangifera Indica. L). Single and combinations of N (511g), P(511g), and K(255g) fertilisers were used, which were N, P, NP, and NPK throughout May 2021. The results revealed that the minimum number of mature green leaves and a higher number of healthy panicles were observed in the NPK-treated plants. Moreover, NPK treatment showed the lowest malformation intensity percentage compared to other fertiliser treatments. The data were analysed to obtain the best regrowth pattern of shoots using Multiple-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) techniques. The results on the pattern of regrowth after pruning when federalised with NPK fertiliser showed that the maximum percentage of total vegetative flush was 87.5% and the remaining 12.5% did not reach a satisfactory level according to the MCDA analysis.

Published: April 2024

In the context of Malaysia's agricultural sector, the development of a robust vegetable price forecasting model holds paramount importance. The pricing dynamics of vegetables can significantly affect various stakeholders, including farmers, distributors, and consumers. The agricultural sector in Malaysia encounters persistent challenges such as supply-demand imbalances, seasonal variations, and market uncertainties, which can lead to income disparities for farmers and disruption in supply chains. Addressing these issues requires accurate and timely predictions of vegetable prices to enhance planning, resource allocation, and decision-making. This study introduces an innovative SARIMA-DWT-GANN hybrid model for vegetable price forecasting. By fusing the strengths of traditional time series modeling with the capabilities of neural networks, the proposed model offers a comprehensive solution to capture both linear and non-linear price patterns. The results demonstrate the superiority of the SARIMA-DWT-GANN model over the individual SARIMA model, as evident from correlation coefficients that closely approach unity and p-values confirming statistical significance. The model's ability to predict price changes has significant implications for making informed decisions throughout the agricultural supply chain. This research provides a robust forecasting tool that not only enhances market efficiency and profitability but also offers a promising solution to address the challenges in Malaysia's agricultural sector.

The effect of fingerprint enhancement methods applied on adhesive surfaces on DNA recovery: a preliminary study
Authors: Cavus Yonar Fatma , Gülekçi Yakup
Published: April 2024

The presence of body fluids such as blood, saliva, semen or urine during fingerprint research on the evidence taken from the crime scene makes it necessary to protect biological materials to examine the evidence in multiple ways. Therefore, it is crucial that fingerprint development (FD) techniques do not disrupt the structure of biological materials during FD procedures. In this sense, it is essential to determine whether biological material or fingerprints should be the priority during the collection of evidentiary materials, to determine the systematic order and to determine whether the FD methods to be applied cause damage to the genetic material used in the identification of individuals and to evaluate them in terms of their evidentiary quality. This study investigated the effects of the application of trace detection methods on DNA profiling processes in evidence where fingerprints and biological samples are found at the same time. In this study, blood, saliva, semen and urine samples were taken from a male individual who signed an informed consent form at the laboratory stage. The samples were applied 50 µL on the adhesive tape surface. After application, the samples were treated with crystal violet (CV) and sticky side (SS) fingerprint development chemicals suitable for the surface type. The prepared samples were dried under room conditions. After 1 day and 45 days under normal room conditions, silica-based DNA extraction was performed. After extraction, DNA quantification was performed using the fluorimetry method. In the study, biological samples with known DNA content were used to focus on DNA quantification. Among the fresh samples prepared in the study, DNA recovery was higher in the SS-treated urine, blood and saliva samples and in the CV-treated semen sample group compared to the other groups. This shows that chemical treatment of some biological samples on adhesive tape increases the efficiency of DNA recovery. When the 45-day waiting samples were compared with the control group samples, DNA recovery decreased in CV-treated urine and blood samples, while DNA recovery increased in SS-treated urine and blood samples. In semen samples, both CV and SS treatment negatively affected DNA recovery. In saliva samples, DNA recovery increased ~2-fold in the CV-treated sample group, while SS treatment caused a ~75% decrease in DNA recovery. The results show that the non-porous adhesive tape does not adversely affect the amount of DNA in terms of STR profiling of latent FD chemicals used on the surfaces and that adhesive tape treated with fingerprint enhancement chemicals can actually be used for advanced forensic genetic analyses for DNA extraction on surfaces.

Bladder cancer (BC) is the fifth most common malignancy in humans and has poor survival rates. Although there is extensive research on the diagnosis and treatment of BC, novel molecular therapies are essential due to tumor recurrence. In this study, we aim to identify repurposed drugs or small molecules of BC with multi-omics systems biology perspective. Gene expression datasets were statistically analyzed by comparing bladder tumor and normal bladder tissues and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were determined. Co-expression network of common DEGs for BC was constructed and co-expressed module was found by using tumors and control bladder tissues. Using independent data, we demonstrated the high prognostic capacity of the module genes. Moreover, repurposed drugs or small molecules were predicted by using L1000CDS2 gene expression based-search engine tool. We found numerous drug candidates as 480743.cdx, MK-2206, Geldanamycin, PIK-90, BRD-K50387473 (XMD8-92), BRD-K96144918 (mead acid), Vorinostat, PLX-4720, Entinostat, BIX-01294, PD-0325901 and Selumetinib, that may be used in BC therapy. We report 480743.cdx, BRD-K50387473 (XMD8-92) and mead acid as novel drugs or small molecules that offer crucial step in translational cancer research of BC.

Gratitude is one of the virtues transcendence character strengths that can help adolescents achieve a higher quality of life. Adolescents who have a high level of gratitude will have greater life satisfaction, joy, and well-being, being able to live a more positive life. The state of today's adolescents , who are prone to developing mood disorders such as worry, stress, and depression in dealing with life's issues, exemplifies the phenomena of low gratitude. The purpose of this study is to figure out how school counselors might help adolescents develop gratitude by offering psycho-educational services. A comprehensive literature review using content analysis methodologies was utilized to determine the role of school counselors in undertaking intervention activities to develop adolescent gratitude. 10 key research papers were examined in the study. The study's findings provide a conceptual framework for psycho-educational services based on particular training such as counting blessings, three good exercises , and a gratitude visit that school counselors can use to assist adolescent cultivation of gratitude. This study can serve as a model for future studies on to develop adolescent gratitude.

During adolescence, teenagers are often influenced by various factors that shape their lifestyle choices. This study investigates the hedonistic lifestyle among "X" students at SMP 16 Palembang, focusing on the impacts of parental influence, financial management, environmental factors, and social dynamics. Employing a qualitative descriptive research method, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that parental neglect and excessive pocket money contribute to students' consumptive behavior, exacerbated by societal trends and peer pressure. The allure of a hedonistic lifestyle, characterized by materialistic pursuits and gadget dependency, poses risks to students' well-being and social development. Furthermore, the study highlights the need for parental guidance and societal support in promoting balanced lifestyles and responsible behavior among adolescents. These findings underscore the i

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant changes and challenges to students, particularly in the realm of education, leading to the emergence of new problems such as academic stress. This study aimed to analyze counseling approaches and techniques applied to assist students in coping with academic stress during the transition from offline to online learning. A literature review method was employed to identify relevant articles published between 2019 and 2021. Eleven articles meeting the inclusion criteria were selected for analysis. The results revealed a variety of counseling approaches and techniques used to manage academic stress, including group counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, expressive writing therapy, self-control techniques, self-instruction techniques, stress inoculation training, cognitive restructuring, coping strategies, time management, and relaxation meditation techniques. Group counseling emerged as a preferred method due to its effectiveness in providing mutual support and addressing shared concerns among students. Cognitive behavioral counseling was found to be effective in modifying irrational thoughts and behaviors associated with academic stress. Techniques from other counseling approaches, such as expressive writing and stress inoculation training, complemented interventions for managing academic stress. Successful intervention requires counselors to consider individual student needs, the onset and causes of stress symptoms, and students' self-defense mechanisms. By tailoring interventions to these factors, counselors can effectively reduce academic stress and support students in achieving their academic and personal goals.

This paper presents the results of a study carried out to assess probable seismic loss in terms of damage to the residential buildings and the number of fatalities in the case of the Mosha Fault seismic scenario in Tehran, Iran. Accordingly, seismic risk components (including seismic hazards, exposure models, and fragility curves) are evaluated. The stochastic finite-fault method with dynamic corner frequency is applied for quantifying ground motion values. The results show that PGA on the soil surface could range between 0.1 g and 0.45 g. Then, a reliable model of building exposure by analyzing census data from Tehran is compiled. This model included 19 different classes of buildings and is used to evaluate the potential damage to buildings from seismic scenarios. The results indicate that the median damage ratio from 100,000 iterations for the whole of the city is about 6% ± 1.54%. The study found that the central and eastern parts of Tehran are the most vulnerable areas, with an estimated 15,952 residents at risk of losing their lives in this scenario. This is equivalent to 0.2 percent of the total population of Tehran. The findings from this study can be used by local authorities to provide appropriate emergency response and preparedness plans in the case of the Mosha Fault seismic scenario.
