Published: September 2023

Currently, population growth in cities results in an increase in urban vehicle traffic. That is why it is necessary to improve the quality of life of citizens based on the improvement of transport control services. To solve this problem, there are solutions, related to the improvement of the road infrastructure by increasing the roads or paths. One of the solutions is using traffic lights that allow traffic regulation automatically with machine learning techniques. That is why the implementation of an intelligent traffic light system with automatic learning by reinforcement is proposed to reduce vehicular and pedestrian traffic. As a result, the use of the YOLOv4 tool allowed us to adequately count cars and people, differentiating them based on size and other characteristics. On the other hand, the position of the camera and its resolution is a key point for counting vehicles by detecting their contour. An improvement in time has been obtained using reinforcement learning, which depends on the number of episodes analyzed and affects the length of training time, where the analysis of 100 episodes takes around 12 hours on a Ryzen 7 computer with a graphics card built-in 2 GB.

Authors: Alim Hadi Nur
Published: September 2023

Zakat is one of the main pillars of Islamic teachings, which instructs Muslims to give part of their wealth to the needy. The meaning of zakat in the Qur'an has been the subject of significant research in Islamology, with many different interpretations of the Qur'anic verses relating to zakat. Therefore, this research aims to explore this further and reveal the meaning of zakat contained in the text of the Koran. This research uses the Al-Quran text analysis method, with a tafsir (interpretation) approach by analyzing the verses of the Al-Quran which specifically mention zakat and conducting a theological analysis to understand the role of zakat in Islam and its impact on the lives of Muslims. Data for this research was obtained from the Al-Quran and various literary sources relevant to the theme of zakat in Islam. We also refer to the interpretations of scholars and relevant previous research. The research results show that the concept of zakat in the Koran is the obligation to give part of one's wealth to those in need, with the main aim of creating social justice, reducing economic inequality, and strengthening social ties in Muslim society.

Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Criteria of Originality in Copyright Law
Authors: KULINICH Olha , KONDYK Dmytro
Published: September 2023

With recent technological advances in the field of artificial intelligence, new questions arise regarding the determination of copyright in works created using artificial intelligence technologies. This article examines the criterion of originality of a work in the legal systems of different countries and its importance for providing legal protection by copyright law to objects created with the use of artificial intelligence. Originality acts as a subjective criterion for determining the possibility of legal protection of a work as an object of copyright. Attention is focused on the lack of a single approach to establishing the originality of the work in the characterized countries. In particular, in the EU, the originality of a work is reduced to the personal creation of the author, in the USA — to the minimal creative contribution of the person-author, in United Kingdom — to its creation by the work and skills of a person, his or her efforts, in Ukraine — it is reduced to the criterion by which the work is characterized, which is the result of the author’s own intellectual creative activity, as well as a reflection of his or her creative decisions made during the creation of such a work. It is noted that all countries at the current stage are focusing their attention on the development of new legislation in the field of copyright regulation of objects created using artificial technologies, which is due to the desire for innovation and the introduction of modern digital technologies and artificial intelligence. That is why in the law-making process it is important to ensure that legal norms are flexible and correspond to changes in the technological environment, allowing to promote innovation and cultural development. Overall, it makes a valuable contribution to understanding the contemporary challenges of changing technologies and the impact of artificial intelligence on copyright law. It emphasizes the need for a balance between protecting the rights of creators and ensuring access to new technologies and innovations for the general benefit of society. Legal challenges related to determining authorship of works generated by artificial intelligence are discussed. The importance of further scientific research in this area is noted.

Integrating Data Literacy into Information Literacy Programmes: Any Difference?
Authors: Ebijuwa Adefunke Sarah
Published: September 2023

There is an urgent need to address data literacy in undergraduate library instruction. In Africa and especially in Nigeria, the need for a data information literacy program (DIL) to prepare students to engage in an electronic research environment is also articulated by scholars in recent literature. However, the question as to whether data literacy should replace information literacy has not been properly articulated in recent times in Africa even though it is acknowledged that the resultant effect of this data literacy is expected to precipitate the advent of the data revolution and the rise of digital technologies which are needed in today’s information age. The question of the degree of the nature of the integration of data literacy into information literacy programs and how it could be taught synergistically and push data literacy strategically for the fourth industrial revolution is a major fulcrum of this study. This paper, therefore, involves a theoretical and systematic literature engagement with a focus on integrating data literacy into information literacy programs in academic libraries and in undergraduate library instruction and curriculum.

Published: September 2023

La microbiota intestinal, también conocida como flora intestinal, es una comunidad diversa de microorganismos que habita en nuestro tracto gastrointestinal. En los últimos años, ha surgido un creciente interés en comprender la relación entre la microbiota intestinal y el cáncer gástrico, una forma de cáncer que afecta el estómago. Varios estudios han demostrado que existe una asociación entre la composición de la microbiota intestinal y el desarrollo, progresión y respuesta al tratamiento del cáncer gástrico. Se ha observado que ciertos microorganismos pueden estar presentes en mayor o menor cantidad en pacientes con cáncer gástrico en comparación con individuos sanos. Esta alteración en la composición microbiana puede desencadenar respuestas inflamatorias crónicas, promover la carcinogénesis y afectar la eficacia de los tratamientos. También se han explorado terapias dirigidas a modificarla con el objetivo de prevenir o tratar el cáncer gástrico.

Published: September 2023

Vehicle Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is a type of wireless network that enables communication between vehicles and Road Side Units (RSUs) to improve road safety, traffic efficiency, and service delivery. However, the widespread use of vehicular networks raises serious concerns about users’ privacy and security. Privacy in VANET refers to the protection of personal information and data exchanged between vehicles, RSUs, and other entities. Privacy issues in VANET include unauthorized access to location and speed information, driver and passenger identification, and vehicle tracking. To ensure privacy in VANET, various technologies such as pseudonymization, message authentication, and encryption are employed. When vehicles frequently change their identity to avoid tracking, message authentication ensures messages are received from trusted sources, and encryption is used to prevent unauthorized access to messages. Therefore, researchers have presented various schemes to improve and enhance the privacy efficiency of vehicle networks. This survey article provides an overview of privacy issues as well as an in-depth review of the current state-of-the-art pseudonym-changing tactics and methodologies proposed.

Published: September 2023

Linguistic aphoristics (properly aphorisms, extensive and concise judgments, maxims) is that layer of the nation’s cultural heritage that is capable to represent the language to the average person in a simple, popular and figurative form to the citizens of Ukraine as a powerful national wealth. In the book of Taras Marusyk “30 years of Independence: language acts that change Ukraine” they perform culminating and actualizing functions. The place of the Ukrainian language in the information space of the country is skillfully defined, the actions of the authorities on this issue are shown, and an attempt is made to dispel known fakes about the state language, etc. The author of this book masterfully used a whole system of linguistic means in his aphorisms and maxims, the central place among which is occupied by the contrast and juxtaposition of phenomena, images that are opposite in essence, but connected to each other in terms of content and generality internal features. Since the author’s maxims fulfill the culminating function in the text of the book, then it can be argued that in the internal form the contrast of phenomena, which are often opposed to each other and embedded in the text are compared.
Of great importance in the linguistic aphorism of Taras Marusyk acquire periphrasis as tropes descriptively conveying the most characteristic features, signs of an object or person, phenomenon. They are used to express emotional enrichment of the text, manifestation of the author's vision of reality, creating a pejorative coloring of the text.
Taras Marusyk’s aphoristics is marked by the use of one expressions of words of different stylistic colors, colloquial vocabulary in combined with graphic highlighting of articularly important words and phrases, which is often a means of creating a humorous or satirical color of the text.

However, various technical problems still need to be solved in its operations and development efforts. This study aims to identify the potential and formulate a strategy for developing Pengelukatan Telaga Waja as a religious tourism attraction in Kenderan Tourism Village, Tegalalang, Gianyar. A type of qualitative descriptive research that identifies the potential and strategy of developing vehicle tourism villages as religious tourism by conducting observations and structured interviews on three informants selected by purposive sampling and meeting inclusion criteria. All results are interpreted using tourism area life cycle theory. As a result, the Pengelukatan Telaga Waja could be a religious tourism attraction in Kenderan Tourism Village, Gianyar District. The potential of the village with good natural resources and prioritizing elements of the sacred language, spirituality, and religion based on Balinese local wisdom makes Pengelukatan telaga waja favored by tourists. The results of the 4A analysis show that Pengelukatan Telaga Waja meets the attractive aspect (natural nuances that provide a sense of sacred mystique and still prioritize the religious side), amenities (there are facilities for post melukat meditation at Pancoran Solas), accessibility (road access to the Pengelukatan Telaga Waja site is quite good), and ancillary (the management of this Pengelukatan Telaga Waja place already has a management institution by Puri Figures). SWOT analysis shows that the Pengelukatan Telaga Waja meets all the criteria of a good SWOT as a religious tourism attraction in Kenderan Tourism Village, and improving the image of the area is the main development strategy.

Climate Change, Food, and National Security: Reforming Farm Subsidies to Incentivize Regenerative Agriculture Practices to Increase U.S. Food System Climate Resilience
Authors: Chartampila Elissavet , LePetri Nicole , Rothstein Sarah
Published: September 2023

The agriculture sector is critical to global security, as it provides food security and employment across the world. However, the sector is both vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and one of the biggest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions. As such, all countries must consider the urgent need to respond to climate change and build a resilient and sustainable global food chain and food supply. As one of the largest economies in the world, the US has a large role in the global food chain, and therefore, has a responsibility to fortify its food system against the increasing threats of global climate change. US agricultural policy is largely determined by the Farm Bill, which will be reauthorized this year for the next five years. Thus, Congress has the unique opportunity to improve US agriculture policies that determine the costs of US production, farm earnings, agricultural contributions to global climate change, and ultimately dictate what we eat. This paper is targeted to those legislators tasked with the 2023 Farm Bill reauthorization, namely the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Conservation and Forestry and the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition & Forestry, and will address how two of the biggest components of the Farm Bill, Agriculture Risk (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs, can be reformed. Ultimately, we recommend capping the ARC and PLC award per farm and reinvesting the savings in regenerative agriculture practices. Supporting regenerative agricultural practices would help the US food system become more resilient, thereby strengthening global food security and sustainability, setting a powerful example for the rest of the world.
Qualify AI Drug Discovery Tools through FDA ISTAND Program to Model Responsible Drug Discovery AI and Mitigate Dual Use Concerns
Authors: Cherney Rachel , Major Rami , Fitzpatrick Tara
Published: September 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize many fields of science and technology. One field that stands to benefit significantly is drug discovery, which is a time-consuming and expensive process. AI can predict compounds and some of their relevant characteristics, including their efficacy and toxicity. In doing so, AI can help refine the pool of potential compounds that progress in the drug discovery pipeline, while excluding those that will later likely prove to be too toxic or ineffective (Tran et al. 2023). Essentially, AI can make the early stages of drug discovery more efficient by helping to avoid unnecessary human clinical trials and prevent costly, late-stage failures (Tran et al. 2023). Yet, as drug design AI capabilities burgeon, so does the concern that these algorithms could be used for malicious purposes, such as harnessing AI to instead predict compounds that are both highly effective and highly toxic, posing biosecurity risks. Although concerns about the dual-use potential of AI are warranted, there is great potential for AI’s beneficial application in drug discovery, so eliminating the use of AI in this space altogether is undesirable. We recommend that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) place a special call for submissions of drug design AI with safeguards in place to prevent dual-use to its Innovative Science and Technology Approaches for New Drugs (ISTAND) Pilot Program. This would allow the FDA to open up a line of communication with drug design AI creators, educate the broader public on the potential for dual-use of these technologies and emphasize the need for safeguards, and select a drug design AI that models responsible AI applications for the field at large.
