New family of distributions based on the unit modified Burr III distribution
Authors: Boakye Abraham Bamfo , Nasiru Suleman , Wiredu Sampson
Published: September 2024

In recent times, there has been significant attention to the improvements to classical probability distributions in the literature. Because of this attention, many probability generators or family distribution functions have emerged. These generators can control the skewness, kurtosis, and tail weight of datasets effectively. The unit modified Burr III family of distributions—an entirely new family of distributions—has been developed. The mathematical and statistical characteristics of this new family have been derived. Two special distributions, the unit modified Burr III Weibull (UMBIIIW) and unit modified Burr III Chen (UMBIIIC) distributions, have been developed from this family. These distributions’ parameters have been estimated using the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) technique. A simulation method based on Monte-Carlo was employed to investigate the behavior of these estimators. Next, a real-life dataset was used to demonstrate the UMBIIIC distribution’s applicability. Finally, an entirely new regression equation, called the log unit modified Burr III Weibull (LUMBIIIW) regression equation, was proposed, and real-life data were used to demonstrate how applicable it is. With the data used in the application illustration, the new regression equation offers the best fit among its competitive models.

Authors: Jotawar Rajendra M , S Swati , K R Vachan
Published: September 2024

Low fetal birth weight is a critical concern in pregnancy care, significantly affecting neonatal health and contributing to high infant mortality rates globally. Low birth weight is associated with numerous health complications, such as respiratory distress, infections, and long-term developmental challenges. Early diagnosis of fetal growth issues is crucial, as it enables timely medical interventions to prolong the gestation period, allowing more time for fetal development and increasing the likelihood of a healthier birth weight. This project aims to develop a predictive model to estimate fetal birth weight early in pregnancy, categorizing the results as low (less than 2.5 kg), normal (2.5–4.5 kg), or abnormal (greater than 4.5 kg).

Machine learning based Parkinson's disease Prediction
Authors: Nambiar Anila R , K A Akshatha Rani
Published: September 2024

Early detection of vocal alterations in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) allows for preemptive care before the emergence of more severe physical symptoms. This study examines both static and dynamic aspects of communication that are relevant to identifying PD. A comparison between articulation transition features in PD patients and healthy control (HC) speakers shows differences in articulation transitions and trends in the fundamental frequency curve. We suggest collecting time-series data utilizing an unidirectional long-short-term memory (LSTM) model, with an emphasis on the dynamic features of speech signals to identify Parkinson's disease (PD). The study evaluates speech capabilities by analyzing the strength of transitions from voiced to mute segments (offset) and voiced-to-voiced segments. Two assessment techniques are employed, using 10-fold partitioning of the dataset while ensuring no overlap of data from the same individual in the validation process. We recommend using the bidirectional LSTM framework to capture dynamic elements of speech in this investigation, which may provide new insights into PD detection.

Published: September 2024

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), chronic illnesses account for over 59\% of global mortality, with liver diseases being a leading cause of death worldwide. Due to the liver’s ability to function even when partially damaged, liver issues often go undiagnosed until advanced stages. This paper presents a framework using clinical data and machine learning algorithms to predict liver disease. An ensemble approach processes data from liver patients and healthy donors through Gradient Boosting and AdaBoost classifiers. The model aims to identify high-risk individuals, enabling early detection and treatment, and highlights future integration with the broader healthcare industry.

Landscape lyrics by Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin through the prism of еру poetic perspective
Authors: Кондратова Т.И. , Сентюрин А.А.
Published: September 2024

В статье анализируется пейзажная лирика китайских поэтов группы “Новолуние” через призму поэтического ракурса, авторы обосновывают данный термин, который отражает как тип авторского сознания, так и чисто технические характеристики (масштаб, перспективу), что становится главным в методологии исследования. Новизна и актуальность определяются также введением в научный оборот новых переводов китайских поэтов, выполненных авторами данной статьи. Используя в пейзажах приемы контраста как одну из форм смены поэтического ракурса (день—ночь; свет— мрак—полумрак; небо—земля, суета—тишина; красота—безобразие; вечное—сиюминутное и т. д.), Сюй Чжимо и Линь Хуэйинь подняли многие экзистенциальные темы: писали о любви, одиночестве человека, быстротечности и бренности жизни, мечтали о постоянстве памяти. Частая смена поэтического ракурса во многих стихотворениях давала им возможность осветить и монументальное, и едва заметное, вписать множество мелких деталей в единую картину мира.

The article analyzes the landscape lyrics of the Chinese poets of the New Moon group through the prism of a poetic perspective, the authors justify this term, which reflects both the type of author's consciousness and purely technical characteristics (scale, perspective), which becomes the main thing in the research methodology. The novelty and relevance are also determined by the introduction into scientific circulation of new translations of Chinese poets made by the authors of this article. Using contrast techniques in landscapes as one of the forms of changing the poetic perspective (day—night; light—darkness—semi-darkness; sky—earth, vanity—silence; beauty is ugliness; eternal is momentary, etc.), Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin raised many existential topics: they wrote about love, human loneliness, transience and transience of life, dreamed of the permanence of memory. The frequent change of poetic perspective in many poems gave them the opportunity to illuminate both the monumental and the barely noticeable, to fit many small details into a single picture of the world.

Cuidado, controle e contemporaneidade: considerações sobre a relação adulto-criança
Authors: Stone Anne Santos , Farias Camila Peixoto
Published: September 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar o cuidado e o controle na relação entre adulto e criança, considerando, especialmente, atravessamentos como o tempo e a alteridade no cenário contemporâneo ocidental. Para viabilizar essa discussão, fez-se uso da perspectiva laplancheana em diálogo com outros autores, a partir do método psicanalítico de pesquisa. Segundo a perspectiva laplancheana, a criança, desde o início, é confrontada com um mundo sexual adulto cheio de significados, cheio de mensagens que excedem as suas capacidades de apreensão e de controle. Os destinos para o pulsional, que serão construídos pela criança, estão alicerçados nesse encontro com o adulto, e no cuidado recebido. Considera-se que o exercício do cuidado, e do controle intimamente articulado a ele, pressupõe um modelo de relação pautado na alteridade. Além disso, considera-se que o exercício do cuidado demanda do adulto um tempo complexo e indeterminado de elaboração dos afetos produzidos pelo encontro com a criança. Entretanto, alguns aspectos da contemporaneidade, como o individualismo e uma supressão da dimensão temporal, parecem estar na contramão dos vínculos alteritários e do tempo demandado pelo cuidado. Diante desse aparente “desacordo” entre o cuidado que as crianças necessitam, e algumas características da contemporaneidade, busca-se discutir possíveis modalidades de controle na relação adulto-criança que podem se desarticular do cuidado, e estar a serviço da manutenção de uma moral sexual “civilizada” contemporânea.

Despite the role of parental involvement in School Leadership to ensure learners’ academic success, the existence of harmonious relationships between parents and teachers remains a challenge both internationally and locally. The purpose of this study was to find parental involvement in school leadership and its influence on performance in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education in public schools in Nyamira County, Kenya. The study was guided by the objective Parental Involvement in School Leadership and Influence on Pupils’ Performance in Kenya Certificate of Primary Education in Nyamira County, Kenya. The study adopted a convergent parallel mixed-methods design and employed the Epstein theory of family, school, and community partnerships. The target population for the study consisted of 2364 respondents from 394 targeted schools. These consisted of 394 head teachers, 394 class eight teachers, 394 parents, and 1182 pupils. These were drawn from 394 public primary schools in Nyamira County. Stratified random sampling was used to stratify schools in their respective sub counties, and purposive sampling was used to select single-streamed schools. Then head teachers were sampled on the basis of schools. Parents were not only sampled on the basis of schools; but they were also sampled purposefully to select chairpersons for parents’ associations. Teachers were sampled purposefully, and pupils were sampled using simple random sampling, purposeful sampling techniques and stratified sampling. The sample size for the study consisted of 354 respondents. Interview schedules were used to collect data from head teachers and parents, while questionnaires were used for teachers and pupils. Qualitative data were captured, organised, and analysed into themes, thereby reporting the views of respondents thematically. Quantitative data were analysed statistically using frequency, means, percentages, and standard deviation. The Pearson product moment was used to relate independent variables to dependent variables. The study found that parents’ involvement in school leadership influences performance at a significant level (p = 0.0001). However, the study found that parental involvement in school leadership in Nyamira County was weak. The study concluded that parental involvement in pupils’ learning influences academic performance, but parents and schools have not embraced parents’ involvement in pupils’ learning. Therefore, parental involvement in pupils’ learning in Nyamira County was weak.

Published: September 2024

The study empirically diagnosed the effects solid minerals production had on environmental pollution in Nigeria. Covering a data period of 1986 to 2022, the study utilized mining and quarrying, metal ores and coal production as forms of solid mineral production while carbon (CO2) emission is employed as proxy for environmental pollution. Yearly time series information from the Nigeria’s Apex Bank’s statistical bulletin and the Development Indicators’ data base of the World Bank were gathered on the variables, and were examined by applying the analytical processes of the Autoregressive Distributive Lag econometric technique. The resultant outcomes of the study established that except mining and quarrying that was integrated at level, CO2 emission, metal ores and coal production were stable at first differencing. Particularly, the dynamic study confirmed that mining and quarrying, metal ores and coal production activities exerted positively substantial effects on carbon emission in Nigeria in the short run and long run. Premised on the results, it is concluded that solid mineral production substantially contributes to environmental pollution in Nigeria. The study recommended among others that government should ensure implementation of the mineral development plan in order to ensure environment friendly solid mineral production processes.

Published: September 2024

Remarriage among older adults is another transition and life decision that entails personal, familial, social, societal and psychological considerations. Second marriage is an odyssey in which less can traverse; an opportunity in which a few can understand its very essence. The purpose of this study is aimed to explore on the lived experiences of Filipino older persons who remarry. This study utilized a descriptive phenological approach. Emerged from the study are 3 major themes that highlighted the journey of older adults who remarried, namely: (1) Misery, Loneliness and Acceptance; (2) Apprehension and Acknowledgment; and, (3) Reconnecting and Moving Forward. Remarriage among older adults in the Philippine context is very unlikely, and different perspectives on this phenomenon arises that are leaning on the unfavorable side of marriage. In the course of the study, it was revealed that more than the unfavorable speculations about older adults who remarry, is a beautiful story in each of the participants that brings another phase of the phenomenon of remarriage among older adults. With the context of remarriage among older adults in the Philippines is of a conservative perspective, it was realized that the phenomenon of remarriage among older adults is the country is occurring and is never to be looked with much negativities. It should be acknowledged and supported as things brings a sense of life satisfaction and fulfillment among these older adults.
Analysing the Factors that Enhance the Growth and Survival of Supply Chain Processes on Design Management and Procurement in Construction Firms
Authors: Yamoah, (MIoD) Dr. Lord Emmanuel , Amponsah, PhD Richard , Kwarkoh Amoah Cornelius
Published: September 2024

The construction industry has faced challenges because of the interaction between design management and procurement in projects where the prime contractor is in charge of design management and design work is perhaps completed concurrently with construction. The actions taken by the parties will mostly dictate the type of plans the design management can create for the procurement and whether they are provided on time. Production success depends on the conditions established by design management and procurement as a whole. The article sought to improve operations by giving the target business a design management and procurement linkage through an efficient and effective supply chain strategy. An empirical analysis as well as a design science study were utilized to finish the study. Based on the research’s interviews, it was discovered that the target company’s design management and procurement departments did not share a uniform procedure. Furthermore, there was no agreement on what should be included in the plans that were needed for the purchase, which prevented communication and cooperation. Given the issue at hand, there are numerous ways to practice things, therefore a growth direction has to be selected. The development of design and procurement packages was chosen, and enhanced cooperation amongst the involved parties was required. This study led to the development of a suggestion for enhancing the supply chain procedure between procurement and design management.

Published: September 2024

Em Crítica dos Afetos, Filipe Campello defende que as experiências em primeira pessoa, referenciadas por ele como afetos, importam na busca pela justiça. Para o autor, não se trata de tomar os afetos particulares como indicadores de legitimidade moral, mas de evitar que teorias da justiça e diferentes modelos de crítica social fiquem alheias a experiências de sofrimento perpetuadas pelas estruturas que marcam a reprodução das nossas sociedades contemporâneas. Nesse artigo, que possui o livro de Campello como seu principal objeto, além de reconhecer os muitos méritos do texto, apresentamos uma interpelação baseada em três diferentes eixos: 1 - a relação entre afetos e experiências subjetivas; 2 - a relação entre Reconstrução e Normatividade; 3- a relação entre pluralismo e democracia.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most crucial staple crops globally, providing essential calories and nutrients to a large portion of the world’s population. However, the production and quality of wheat are increasingly threatened by climate change, particularly by rising temperatures during the grain-filling period, commonly referred to as “terminal heat.” Terminal heat stress, occurring in the final stages of wheat development, can significantly impair grain yield and quality, posing a major challenge to global food security.The present research was conducted at the Student’s Instructional Farm (SIF) of Acharya N.D. University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya. Laboratory analysis was performed in the Crop Physiology Laboratory. The climate of Ayodhya falls under a semi-arid zone, with a mean annual rainfall of 1100 mm, about 80% of which occurs during the monsoon season (November to April), with occasional showers in winter.Three wheat varieties—PBW-343, HD-2967, and Kundan—were selected for the study, with three replications. PBW-343 and HD-2967 are high-yielding varieties commonly used in the North Eastern Plain Zone (NEPZ) for timely sown conditions, but they are susceptible to temperature stress. Kundan, a popular late-sown variety, is known for its tolerance to high-temperature stress. The treatments were based on three sowing dates: D1 (30th November), D2 (15th December), and D3 (30th December).
Analyzing the Effect of Physicochemical Processes of Calabar River on Coastal Hydraulic Structures: A Case Study of Calabar River
Authors: Ewa Ekeng, Emmanuel
Published: September 2024

The research study analyzes the effect of physicochemical processes of Calabar River on coastal hydraulic structures. The Calabar River holds ecological and economic importance, providing essential resources for irrigation, transportation, and fishing in Nigeria’s. However, the discharge of industrial effluents, agricultural activities, domestic sewage and other human activities has resulted in significant alterations in the river’s physicochemical properties, including changes in pH, temperature, salinity and concentration of chemical compounds. These changes have adverse effects on coastal hydraulic structures such as jetties, ports, sheet piles for coastal protection and offshore platforms, primarily due to accelerated corrosion rates induced by aggressive agents present in the river. The research employs a multi-disciplinary approach, combining materials science, structural engineering, and environmental analysis to assess the impact of Calabar River on hydraulic infrastructure. For comprehensive analysis, this study employed both field and laboratory methods. Field data collection involved measuring water quality parameters like pH, temperature, salinity, chloride, sulfate, and dissolved oxygen concentrations. Objectives of study included identifying potential impact of physicochemical processes on these structures, determining factors affecting their performance, proposing appropriate solutions for improvement, providing recommendations. It was observed that the presence of salt water on concrete reduces the compressive and flexural strength of concrete when compared to natural water. These findings will be invaluable for policymakers, engineers, and stakeholders involved in the management of coastal infrastructure in the region. It is recommended that further studies should be carried out using different blend proportions and concreting materials for hydraulic structures.
Vpliv gradnje južne železnice na demografski razvoj Laškega
Authors: Hren Medved Alenka
Published: September 2024

At the beginning of the 19th century, Laško was a medium-sized market town with poor transport links, inhabited by artisans. Together with the road from Celje to Zidani Most, the railway connection that reached Laško in 1849 represented the first modern transport connection. The town’s improved transport connectivity stimulated its economic development. The present research, primarily based on the church registers of the Laško parish, focuses on the demographic analysis of the Laško population during the period when the southern railway was being constructed (1845–1848). The large number of construction workers building the southern railway brought plenty of unrest, new opportunities for the local population, and an epidemic of spotted typhus to the town. The latter broke out among the construction workers and spread among the local population.
Prekmurje v viharju druge svetovne vojne
Authors: Dobaja Dunja
Published: September 2024

The article focuses on the events in the Prekmurje region during World War II. From 1941 to 1944, this part of the Slovenian territory was almost completely cut off from the rest. The local Partisan movement was largely self-reliant and therefore weak. It received a new impetus in the autumn of 1944, when the first Partisan combat unit, consisting of 36 men, arrived in the Prekmurje region on the orders of the National Liberation Struggle High Command. However, it was soon pushed back across the river Mura. Due to betrayal, the Partisan movement in Prekmurje was once again weakened. At the end of January 1945, the Prekmurska četa company was established in the village of Strehovci but got involved in a fierce battle with the occupying forces and split into several groups. When the Red Army arrived in the Prekmurje region, only a small group of Partisans was in the area.

Abstract. Mineral nutrient uptake from soil through the roots is considered the exclusive nutrition pathway for vascular terrestrial plants. Recently, desert dust was discovered as an alternative nutrient source to plants, through direct uptake from dust deposited on their foliage. Here we studied the uptake of nutrients from freshly deposited desert and volcanic dusts by chickpea plants under ambient and future elevated levels of atmospheric CO2, through the roots and directly through the foliage. We found that within weeks, chickpea plants acquired phosphorus (P) from dust only through foliar uptake under ambient conditions, and P, Iron (Fe) and Nickel (Ni) under elevated CO2 conditions, significantly increasing their growth. Using additional chickpea variety with contrasting leaf properties we have shown that the foliar nutrient uptake pathway from dust is facilitated by leaf surface chemical and physiological traits such as low pH and trichome densities. We analyzed Nd radiogenic isotopes extracted from plant tissues after dust application to assess the contribution of mineral nutrients that were acquired through the foliage. Our results suggest that foliar mineral nutrient uptake from dust is an important pathway, that may play an even bigger role in an elevated CO2 world.

Abstract. Hydrodynamic models are crucial for flood forecasts and early warnings, particularly in response to events such as the devastating floods in Germany's Ahr region in July 2021. However, several uncertainties can be present in these models stemming from various sources, such as model structure, parameters, and boundary conditions. In this study, we aim to address these uncertainties and enhance the existing RIM2D hydrodynamic model introduced by Apel et al. (2022) for the Ahr region. The goal is to fortify its robustness and reliability for inundation simulations in the area. For this, we employ a large number of Monte Carlo simulations, assessing the effects of various model elements, such as floodplain and channel roughness coefficients, as well as terrain resolution, on river dynamics and inundation. Our findings emphasize the critical role of proper parameter assignment in attaining optimal simulation results. The results show that sensitivity to input factors varies depending on the used performance metrics and the predicted output. We demonstrate that for simulating flow formation and water level in the river channel, the roughness parameter of the river channel and the model's resolution are paramount. On the other hand, for simulating flood extent and the distribution of water depth across the domain, even coarser resolutions prove adequate and, due to their reduced computation time, might be better suited for early warning systems. Furthermore, our findings suggest that the differences observed between finer and coarser resolution models may stem from the varying representations of the river channel and buildings within the model. Ultimately, this work provides a guideline for the parameterization of RIM2D and similar physically-based fluvial models tailored to the Ahr region, offering valuable insights for future hydrodynamic modeling endeavors in the area.

Authors:   Al-Istiqlal University – Palestine, Naim Jamil Alawneh Fadi
Published: September 2024

This research deals with the issue of electronic services provided by some public facilities in Palestine, as it has been addressed within one of the most important foundations of administrative law related to changing the provisions of the management of public facilities according to variables and circumstances. This research links these services to the concept of modern digital management used to manage public facilities, and it presents an analysis of these services in Palestinian administrative law from the perspective of their legal legitimacy within administrative law. It also clarifies the nature of the services that can be provided through the electronic services clause and those that cannot be a substitute for that. It also provides a realistic analysis of the most important Palestinian public services that are provided by digital administration from through electronic services. The aim of this research is primarily to address the methods of managing some facilities and providing electronic services through them, and thus the relationship of providing these services electronically to the changes that occurred in the management of public facilities in Palestine due to the war, or due to the interruption of communication between cities as a result of the barriers placed by the Israeli occupation, especially in the West Bank. Western and the resulting impossibility of providing services in person in most public facilities. The researcher used the analytical method in this research to analyze the principles that govern the management of public facilities in accordance with the rules of administrative law, as well as jurisprudence and comparative and Palestinian jurisprudence to reach a set of results, the most important of which is the legitimacy of providing public services through the electronic services system, and that there is a group of services with Privacy, such as treatment, interviews, etc., cannot in any way be provided as electronic services, and there is room to develop some services to be provided electronically after processing them legally, such as litigation and employment services, licensing services, etc. The research also reached a set of recommendations, the most important of which is developing the government electronic services system in Palestine through legislative and technological support. The trend towards supporting electronic services in the judicial authority by supporting electronic litigation and other recommendations.

La población originaria representa el 2,38% del total de la población argentina y conforman 31 pueblos indígenas distribuidos en el territorio nacional según el censo 2010. El instituto Universitario del Hospital Italiano cuenta con un programa sociosanitario educativo  (ISTHAT) orientado a formar profesionales en medicina social e intercultural. La comitiva de seis profesionales que participaron del programa en junio de 2023 , realizó un trabajo de reflexión sobre la actividad asistencial en una comunidad Wichi . Los objetivos específicos fueron  reconocer elementos de interculturalidad, a través de la metodología de foto voz, para  identificar a través de la imagen qué aspectos son valorados o puestos en cuestionamiento según las biografías y creencias de las  participantes. Los puntos sobresalientes fueron repensar los límites del respeto a otra cultura en escenarios de potencial riesgo a la salud, el lenguaje como elemento identitario y principal barrera, la mirada del poder en la comunidad con lente de género y,  se hicieron tangibles los derechos más básicos vulnerados como el acceso al agua segura y disponer del territorio. Las fotografías fueron una herramienta valiosa para analizar  la experiencia en terreno en el marco de la interculturalidad.  Los temas que surgieron resultaron relevantes y ofrecen  una oportunidad para pensar estrategias que acerquen al equipo de salud.
¿Qué hay de nuevo en el tratamiento de la amiloidosis? Parte 3: Polineuropatía amiloidótica familiar

La amiloidosis por depósito de transtiretina es una enfermedad infrecuente y se debe al depósito de fibrillas de dicha proteína en diversos tejidos, aunque la afectación más frecuente es la cardíaca y la neurológica. Puede ser adquirida (antiguamente llamada “amiloidosis senil”) o, menos frecuentemente, hereditaria debido a  mutaciones en el gen que codifica para la transtiretina (TTR).  Una manifestación habitual de la TTR mutada (de ahora en adelante ATTRv) es la polineuropatía amiloidótica familiar.
En el Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, desde el año 2010 existe un grupo transdisciplinario de profesionales nucleados por el interés en optimizar la atención de personas con amiloidosis, formado por profesionales de distintas especialidades y de referencia a nivel nacional, con foco en la asistencia, la docencia y la investigación. En el año 2020, este grupo, denominado Grupo de Estudio de Amiloidosis (GEA), confeccionó guías de práctica clínica para el tratamiento de la polineuuropatía amiloidótica familiar.
Desde entonces se han publicado múltiples ensayos clínicos que aportan contundencia al conocimiento disponible hasta el momento, mientras están en desarrollo nuevas líneas de investigación que robustecen y estimulan el estudio en el área.
En esta revisión se realiza una actualización de las guías existentes en lo que respecta al tratamiento de la polineuropatía amiloidótica familiar por transtiretina y  se explora el  estado del arte.
En el tratamiento de la polineuropatía amiloidótica familiar es conocido el uso del patisirán (un siRNA o small interfering RNA dirigido a interferir con la síntesis hepatocitaria de transtiretina). Actualmente está aprobado también para pacientes con trasplante hepático previo y progresión sintomática.
Además de este medicamento, hoy se recomienda el vutrisirán, de la misma familia farmacológica pero con una posología de más fácil manejo y un perfil aceptable de efectos adversos.
La edición génica in vivo también está en boga como nueva línea de investigación, siendo parte de múltiples ensayos clínicos actuales en curso.
