The EU as an Actor of Normative Power in the Western Balkans After 2018: The Case of Kosovo, Albania and North Macedonia
Authors: Beshku Klodiana
Published: March 2023

This article aims to examine the capacity of the European Union (EU) to continue to promote its normative power through the implementation of its Enlargement policy in the region of the Western Balkans. First, it examines the EU strategy towards the Western Balkans regarding its Enlargement Policy and the repercussion on the Western Balkans' perception of the European Union, which here is used as one of the denominators for the EU as a normative power. Then, using the Kosovo, Albania and North Macedonia cases, the article determines whether the EU continues to be considered a normative factor in the Western Balkans. Finally, it explores how the more inclusive Enlargement Policy followed by a harshened Conditionality has affected the future of the Western Balkans Region in the EU. Furthermore, this analysis sheds light on how the EU’s strategic vision has altered regarding the Region of the WB and how this vision meets the WB's expectations. Following such an examination, both sides of the story are scrutinized in a comparative approach to establish if the EU remains a normative power for the Western Balkan countries, even after a long period of EU integration stagnation.

Authors: - Sennanda Musa , - Ahmed Mutunzi Kitunzi , - Gerald Kasigwa , - Ismail Kintu
Published: March 2023

This paper is an analysis of the empirical relationship between Project financing by Islamic development bank (IsDB) and the poverty trends in the context of countries benefiting from IsDB. Specifically, the study seeks to find out whether there is a statistically significant relationship between the Project Financing dollar amounts by IsDB (PF) and the GNI Per Capita, PPP of 57 countries for the years 2002 to 2021. The research is a longitudinal, desk-top triangulation of correlation, regression, hypothesis-testing employing the linear dynamic panel data GMM model as an estimator of the empirical relationships between the key variables of the study. The study results show that there is a significant positive relationship between the PF dollar amounts from the IsDB and the GNI Per Capita, PPP in these 57 countries. Therefore, countries that receive higher PF dollar amounts from the IsDB, generally have more GNI Per Capita, PPP (less poverty) than their counterparts. It is, therefore, recommendable for countries to formulate policies that facilitate Islamically financed projects to mitigate poverty. This paper develops policy discussions regarding allocation of political attention to the policy topics on poverty mitigation, and their relation to financing projects Islamically, thus generate information on policy choices regarding the Islamic financing alternative.
Why Franchising is a Smart Business Tool?
Authors: - Hrishabh Anand
Published: March 2023

In the world today establishing your own business is challenging since it entails significant risk, is tough, and costs a lot of money. Franchises, on the other hand, are more successful than starting your brand. A franchise carries less risk than a start-up company does. In the franchising business model, the owner of a business system (franchisor) grants permission to a person or a group (franchisee) to operate a business selling goods or services using the franchisor's system and brand name. Since most fast food chains and luxury clothing companies operate using this business model, they are quite well-known around the world and have locations in most nations and cities. This research paper gives an outline of Franchising, what it is, its advantages, its disadvantages, and growth. With this paper an individual would be able to decide if he should go for a startup or franchising business model

Design and comparative analysis of Inter Satellite - optical wireless communication (IS-OWC) for Return to Zero (RZ) & Non-Return to Zero (NRZ) Modulation formats Through channel diversity
Authors: - R.Maragathaveni , - M.Muthu parvathi
Published: March 2023

IS-OWC (Inter Satellite Optical Wireless Communication) is a novel method of establishing interconnection between two satellites. Inter-satellite Optical Wireless Communication is concerned with the use of lasers instead of traditional radio and microwave systems for wireless optical communication. When compared to a single channel, the channel diversity strategy produces better results. The IS-OWC device uses a diversity technique in which several signal paths are available, allowing the Q-factor and signal intensity to be extended or increased over a large distance. In this paper, the Q-factor and the Bit Error Rate (BER) are analyzed with diverse modulation formats like Return to Zero (RZ) and Non-Return to Zero (NRZ) using the channel diversity technique.
Java Script Powered Web Based Speech to Text Converter
Authors: - Maradapu Sai Ravindra , - Kandhati Tulasi Krishna Kumar
Published: March 2023

Java script-powered web-based speech-to-text converter interface is used to access speech recognition, which involves the use of the Web Speech API, which allows web developers to incorporate speech recognition and synthesis capabilities into their web applications. The Web Speech API offers a selection of APIs for recording audio input, identifying speech, and speech to text conversion. We have developed a speech-to-text input method for use with web platforms. The system is provided as a JavaScript with dynamic HTML files, and CSS. Users can use voice commands to create content and articles instead of typing. Speech recognition entails listening to speech through a device's microphone and having a speech recognition service check proper grammar for any sentence or word phrases and use as a translator from one language to other. A result (or series of results) is returned as a text string when a word or phrase is correctly identified, and subsequent actions can be started as a result. The quality of the audio input, background noise, and language support are some of the variables that affect how accurately speech-to-text recognition performed using JavaScript. However, the technology has improved significantly over the years and can provide accurate and reliable results for many use cases. Typically, the device's built-in default speech recognition system—which is present in the majority of contemporary operating systems and may be used to provide voice commands—will be utilized for speech recognition. Think about Dictation on mac OS, Siri on iOS, Cortana on Windows 10, Android Speech, etc.

Published: March 2023

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a recently developed autologous cellular therapy, has the potential to perform new functions in an array of regenerative pharmacological treatment plans. Platelet growth factors (PGFs) promote the three stages of the wound recovery and repair cascade, which is the cornerstone of PRP therapy (inflammation, proliferation, remodelling). In vitro, in vivo, and animal experiments were used to test a wide range of PRP formulations. Yet, because it is difficult to apply the findings and technique recommendations from non-clinical studies to human clinical treatment protocols, recommendations from in vitro and animal research frequently result in various clinical manifestations. In this study, we addressed recent advancements in PRP production and composition, applications in periodontics, and PRP mechanisms relating to tissue inflammation and angiogenesis.

The development of Islamic banking in Indonesia continues to increase. The Islamic banking industry has a bright future, one of which is supported by most of the Indonesian people who are Muslims so that the market share they have is also large. To maintain its existence, of course, Islamic banking must maintain the trust given by the community to collect and distribute funds back to the community. This study aims to examine the factors that influence the level of Non-performing Financing (NPF) in Islamic Commercial Banks, because the higher the NPF of a bank indicates poor or unhealthy banking performance. This research data is secondary data obtained from the Islamic Banking Statistics (SPS) report on the page of the Financial Services Authority (OJK). The analytical method used is the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) with the help of an analytical tool, namely E-views.10. The results of this study indicate that in the short term the only significant variable is the NPF variable itself. While in the long term the ASSET variable has a negative and significant effect, the CAR variable has a positive and significant effect on the NPF in BUS. Then, FDR and BOPO have no effect in the long term or in the short term.

Authors: Adhikari Chiranjivi
Published: March 2023

Anxiety is a common mental disorder (CMD) and it affects all the age groups including children and adolescents. Various scales and tools are available to screen and diagnose anxieties. Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) is a reliable tool recommended for 12- 80 years to screen panic to geriatric anxiety. It is also applied and validated among Nepalese adults for Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD). This study was aimed to apply and validate the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) against school adolescents in Nepal. BAI is a 21-item self-reported scale having four-point Likert scale from “0” (Not at all) through “3” (Severely-I could barely stand it). The tool was translated into Nepali and back-translated into English and several iterations were done till the original meaning was obtained. The tool was concurrently validated against seven-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7) as a gold standard, which possesses only seven items and similar Likert scale. Descriptive, inferential including sensitivity, specificity and principal component analysis were performed for 2007 sample adolescents from 13 public and ten private schools of five development regions of the country. The prevalence of generalized anxiety was 34.78% and descriptive data revealed that the BAI and GAD-7 scores were positively skewed. The concurrent validity was moderate (ρ=0.58, p<0.001) and the BAI showed a good internal consistency (a=0.86). The cut-off of 13/14 showed acceptable sensitivity (70.9% ), specificity (73.1% ), and AUC (80.0% (95%CI; 77.4-82.5)) (p<0.001). The principal component analysis showed six-factor explaining 52.04 percent variance, instead of four-factor in most of the literatures. The Nepalese BAI-Adolescent is a valid tool for age group 13-19 years; if applied cautiously regarding the items three, six and thirteen. It can screen 80.0% of the generalized anxiety cases with 70.9 percent sensitivity and 73.1 percent specificity among students and hence recommended to use in schools.

Key words: Adolescent, application, anxiety, Beck, Nepalese, school, validation.

A progressively increasing percentage of the elderly live during the last years of their lives in nursing homes. Although these institutions are intended to mimic life at home as much as possible, they have characteristics that make them quite similar to a “nosocomiun”, i.e. an establishment for the treatment of the sick. The very coexistence among the elderly, the fact of sharing caregivers and the very significant exposure to third parties, together with the frequent predisposing diseases to infection in this population, make infection frequent among residents and also easily transmissible. This leads us to ask what can be done to prevent infection in this environment and more specifically what is the state of the art of the matter in a Western European nation such as ours. The Board of Trustees of the Health Sciences Foundation has asked itself a series of questions on the subject of infection prevention in Nursing Homes, the structure of procedures, the legislation available, compliance with the measures indicated, the best indicators of the processes and therefore, the need to promote in Spain a document of recommendations to avoid infections in this poplation whose morbidity and mortality need not be highlighted. To this end, a multidisciplinary group of experts in different aspects of this problem has been convened and asked the proposed questions. The questions were discussed by the group as a whole and led to a series of conclusions agreed upon by the participants. The results of the meeting are reported below.

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is considered by some authors as the second human brain, given its fundamental role in the regulation process of the central nervous system (CNS). Recent data from scientific literature have shown the existence of close bidirectional communication between the gut microbiota and the CNS, influencing physiological and biochemical changes related to cognition, emotion, behavior, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and stress. Furthermore, the existence of mediators in the connection between intestinal microorganisms and the CNS is evident, which includes neural networks, signaling, immune, and endocrine responses. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects of gut microbiota on brain processes still need to be determined. Therefore, understanding the relationship between the gut and neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) is essential for developing effective prophylactic alternatives and disease-modifying drugs that can prevent or slow the progression of such diseases. Herein, this short review aimed to present the most recent data from the scientific literature associated with the physiological, biochemical, and cellular aspects involved in the interrelationship between the gut-brain axis and NDs, discussing the role of the intestinal microbiota, and its relationship with CNS disorders.
A New Two-Parameter Lifetime Model with Statistical Properties and Applications
Authors: Alsadat Najwan
Published: March 2023

A new lifetime distribution called the truncated Cauchy power length-biased exponential (TCP-LBEX) distribution that extends the length-biased (LBEX) model is investigated. The statistical properties of the TCP-LBEX model including the quantile function, incomplete moment, moment, and entropy are derived. The method of maximum likelihood estimation was used to estimate the parameters of the TCP-LBEX. Monto Carlo simulations are used to assess the behavior of parameters. Finally, we demonstrate applications of two real-world data sets to show the flexibility and potentiality of the proposed model.
Encryption of Dynamic Areas of Images in Video based on Certain Geometric and Color Shapes
Authors: Al Bdour Nashat
Published: March 2023

The paper is devoted to the search for new approaches to encrypting selected objects in an image. Videos were analyzed, which were divided into frames, and in each video frame, the necessary objects were detected for further encryption. Images of objects with a designated geometric shape and color characteristics of pixels were considered. To select objects, a method was used based on the calculation of average values, the analysis of which made it possible to determine the convergence with the established image. Dividing the selected field into subregions with different shapes solves the problem of finding objects of the same type with different scales. In addition, the paper considers the detection of moving objects. The detection of moving objects is carried out based on determining the frame difference in pixel codes in the form of a rectangular shape. Cellular automata technology was used for encryption. The best results were shown by the transition rules of elementary cellular automata, such as: 90, 105, 150, and XOR function. The use of cellular automata technologies made it possible to use one key sequence to encrypt objects on all video frames of the video. Encryption results are different for the same objects located in different places of the same video frame and different video frames of the video sequence. The video frame image is divided into bit layers, the number of which is determined by the length of the code of each pixel. Each bit layer is encrypted with the same evolution, which is formed by one initial key bit sequence. For each video frame, a different part of the evolution is used, as well as for each detected object in the image. This approach gives different results for any objects that have a different location both on the video frame image and in different video frames. The described methods allow you to automate the process of detecting objects on video and encrypting them.

Como una forma de gestionar el creciente volumen y complejidad de la información que circula en la actualidad, se utilizan cada vez más las representaciones gráficas que agregan significado a la información presentada en los medios de comunicación, a través de un diseño comunicacional eficiente. La propia cultura visual, impulsada por la evolución tecnológica, ha ido redefiniendo las formas de comunicación por lo que la comunicación visual contemporánea representa un gran impacto en la sociedad. Este artículo presenta los resultados y el análisis comparativo de cuatro publicaciones de la prensa ibérica, centrándose en los aspectos formales de los diarios y el espacio que dedican a los distintos elementos comunicativos. Para ello se seleccionaron dos diarios portugueses y dos españoles. Los resultados indicaron que los periódicos muestran una similitud en el uso de soluciones gráficas, lo que corrobora una tendencia visual en el diseño de la comunicación. Los resultados también revelan que los diarios españoles son más cuidadosos con la consistencia gráfica.
Correcting Misconceptions and Enhancement of Reasoning Skills: Simulation-Supported Dual Situated Learning Model
Authors: Althubyani Adel
Published: March 2023

This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of using the Simulation-Supported Dual Situated Learning Model (Sim-DSLM) to correct students’ misconceptions, retention, and enhancement of reasoning skills. To address this objective, a quantitative, experimental approach with pre- and post-learning tests was employed. The researcher developed two tests: (1) a physics misconceptions test and (2) a reasoning thinking skills test, which were both checked for validity and reliability. The tests were administered twice, before and after lessons were taught, to 57 participants recruited randomly from the seventh grade in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The experimental group (30) was taught using the Sim-DSLM and the control group (27) was taught according to the traditional lecture method. The results from both the physics misconceptions test and the reasoning thinking skills test showed that the experimental group statistically scored higher than the control group in the post-learning test. The effective values of using Sim-DSLM to correct students’ misconceptions, retention, and enhancement of reasoning thinking skills were high. The researcher recommends that teachers should be trained to uncover and remediate the misconceptions that students have using strategies such as the Sim-DSLM.

Small-scale vortex formation on the North-Western shelf of the Black Sea
Authors: Popov Yu.I.
Published: March 2023

The results of a joint analysis of satellite color-synthesized optical images of the sea surface of the North-West shelf of the Black Sea (NWSWCH) with the 2017 marine oceanographic observations are presented. Small-scale vortex fields and other regions of the World Ocean are considered. The results of theanalysis allowed us to obtain some comparative characteristics of small-scale and mesoscale vortex formations, in particular, in all the studied areas — the predominant development of small-scale vortices of cyclonic vorticity. A number of coastal vortices are orographic and thermohaline-related. The nature of the vortexes of the open shelf is not completely clear. It is assumed that one of the possible mechanisms for their generation is trapped shelf waves with deformation radii equal to or less than the radius of Rossby waves.

Published: March 2023

For the first time, the prospects for petroleum potential of the Azov-Black Sea region are determined on the basis of an analysis of geological, structural, gas-geochemical, temperature and emanation parameters in the process of implementing an integrated structural-thermal-atmospheric-hydrogeochemical research method developed to predict hydrocarbon deposits. Regularities of relations between gas-geochemical indicators are considered. The features of the distribution of anomalous concentration fields of methane, radon and heat flux anomalies are analyzed.

The analysis of the location of oil and gas fields and hydrogeological basins of global hydrocarbon production made it possible to substantiate and introduce one of the most important search criteria in hydrocarbon accumulation technology ‒ hydrologic, structural and geochemical elements that reflect the nature of the canyons of deltas of river systems and hydrobial generators located in their basins. Methanogenic processes are transformed by the action of mantle catalysts, ultrahigh temperatures and pressure s, which produce complex hydrocarbons and cause their migration through degassing pipes due to the cycle of matter in nature.
