Determinants of customers’ intention to use online food delivery platforms in Thailand
Authors: Jaroenwanit Pensri , Abbasi Ali , Hongthong Patcharee
Published: June 2022

This paper aims to examine what factor relevancy influences consumers’ preference to use online food delivery platforms in Thailand. Further, it investigates consumers' behavior during the covid-19 pandemic. A questionnaire was used to examine a sample of 400 Thai consumers who were using online food delivery platforms. Collected data were analyzed using a statistical package program in 3 steps: Confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis, structural equation model analysis (SEM). Thai consumers increasingly used food delivery on online platforms during the covid-19 epidemic. The study also found that the platform's ease of use, the food delivery service fees, offers or privileges, and payment security on online food delivery platforms influenced consumers’ future use of online food delivery platforms. The food delivery service fees are the most influential factor in using online food delivery platforms. Future research can explore the role of using online food delivery platforms and their impact on the online food delivery platforms. Online food delivery platform providers should lower their service fees, always be implementing new promotions, provide various coupon codes, and create games so that consumers can win prizes. The online food delivery platform providers need to develop consumer trust, ensure that payments are secure, and enhance the ease of use of their platforms. This study contributes to the emerging literature related to online food delivery platforms by studying the relevancy factor that influences consumers’ preference to use online food delivery platforms, which are critical for the success of any online food delivery platform provider.

Adopting the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model, this study aims at investigating the impact of big data (volume, velocity, variety, veracity, and value) on supply chain performance through the mediating role of supply chain management (plan, source, make, deliver, and return) assuming four hypotheses. Data were collected using a questionnaire from managers of food processing companies. The results showed that big data affected supply chain management significantly and positively, which in turn affected supply chain performance significantly and positively. In addition, big data exerted a significant and positive impact on supply chain performance. Based on these links, it was found that supply chain management mediated significantly the effect of big data on supply chain performance. The study contributes to the literature showing that big data plays a pivotal role in improving supply chain performance and supply chain performance from the SCOR model perspective is critical for the relationship between these two constructs.
Quantifying relevance in learning and inference
Authors: Marsili Matteo , Roudi Yasser
Published: June 2022

Learning is a distinctive feature of intelligent behaviour. High-throughput experimental data and Big Data promise to open new windows on complex systems such as cells, the brain or our societies. Yet, the puzzling success of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning shows that we still have a poor conceptual understanding of learning. These applications push statistical inference into uncharted territories where data is high-dimensional and scarce, and prior information on “true” models is scant if not totally absent.
Here we review recent progress on understanding learning, based on the notion of "relevance". The relevance, as we define it here, quantifies the amount of information that a dataset or the internal representation of a learning machine contains on the generative model of the data. This allows us to define maximally informative samples, on one hand, and optimal learning machines on the other. These are ideal limits of samples and of machines, that contain the maximal amount of information about the unknown generative process, at a given resolution (or level of compression).
Both ideal limits exhibit critical features in the statistical sense: Maximally informative samples are characterised by a power-law frequency distribution (statistical criticality) and optimal learning machines by an anomalously large susceptibility.
The trade-off between resolution (i.e. compression) and relevance distinguishes the regime of noisy representations from that of lossy compression. These are separated by a special point characterised by Zipf's law statistics. This identifies samples obeying Zipf's law as the most compressed loss-less representations that are optimal in the sense of maximal relevance.
Criticality in optimal learning machines manifests in an exponential degeneracy of energy levels, that leads to unusual thermodynamic properties. This distinctive features is consistent with the invariance of the classification under coarse graining of the output, which is a desirable property of learning machines.
This theoretical framework is corroborated by empirical analysis showing i) how the concept of relevance can be useful to identify relevant variables in high-dimensional inference and ii) that widely used machine learning architectures approach reasonably well the ideal limit of optimal learning machines, within the limits of the data with which they are trained.

“If You Want Anything, You Have to Fight for It”
Authors: Willis Cameron
Published: June 2022

For four days in October 1932, during the height of the Great Depression, prisoners at Kingston Penitentiary revolted. They took control of their workshops and brought the convict labour regime to a halt, until the guards and militia violently regained control. This revolt was the culmination of more than a year of organizing and collective actions. Prisoners wrote manifestos, participated in work refusals, elected representatives, and developed a sophisticated critique of the conditions of their incarceration and the penitentiary administration. Using a unique collection of archival documents, this article closely examines the complaints, criticisms, fears, hopes, and frustrations of the incarcerated, whose demands and goals are crucial for understanding how and why the prisoner revolt unfolded as it did. I argue that the prisoners at Kingston Penitentiary, by striking and organizing to assert their dignity, democratically organized their lives and ensured a “fair deal” should be considered part of the Depression-era protests of the unemployed, imprisoned, and marginalized.

Pendant quatre jours en octobre 1932, au plus fort de la Grande Dépression, les prisonniers du Pénitencier de Kingston se sont révoltés. Ils ont pris le contrôle de leurs ateliers et ont mis un terme au régime du travail des condamnés, jusqu’à ce que les gardes et les miliciens reprennent violemment le contrôle. Cette révolte a été l’aboutissement de plus d’un an d’organisation et d’actions collectives. Les détenus ont rédigé des manifestes, participé à des refus de travail, élu des représentants et élaboré une critique sophistiquée des conditions de leur incarcération et de l’administration pénitentiaire. À partir d’un ensemble unique de documents d’archives,  cet article examine de près les plaints, les critiques, les peurs, les espoirs et les frustrations des incarcérés, dont les revendications et les objectifs sont essentiels pour comprendre comment et pourquoi la révolte des prisonniers s’est déroulée comme elle était. Je soutiens que les prisonniers du Pénitencier de Kingston, en faisant la grève et en s’organisant pour affirmer leur dignité, ayant organisé démocratiquement leur vie et assuré un  « accord équitable » devraient être considérés comme faisant partie des manifestations des chômeurs, emprisonnés et marginalisés de l’époque de la Dépression.
A gyermek- és serdülőkori figyelemhiányos hiperaktivitás (ADHD) okozta nemzetgazdasági problémák és azok lehetséges kezelése
Authors: Mattiassich-Szokoli Enikő , Sófi Gyula
Published: June 2022

A figyelemhiányos hiperaktivitás (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD) a gyermekeket és a fel-nőtteket egyaránt érintő mentális zavar – főként kezelés nélkül – jelentős kihatással van a hazai költségvetésre. A kórkép bizonyos tünetei pedig kapcsolatban vannak az agresszióval és a bűnelkövetéssel, mely magatartások (tünetek) csökkenthetők a megfelelő gyermekpszichiátriai szakellátással. Az utóbbi években a széleskörű társadalmi érdeklődésnek köszönhetően, számos, gyermekeket érintő mentális zavar került a figyelem fókuszába. Az autizmus spektrum zavarok mellett az ADHD is egyre nagyobb publicitást kapott, így már a hétköznapi tudás részévé vált, hogy főként a hiperaktivitással kapcsolatos tünetek jellemzik ezeket a gyermekeket. Továbbá az is elfogadott, hogy a gyermekkoron túl, a felnőttkorba lépve is bizonyos tünetek megmaradnak, tehát akár végig is kísérhetik egy személy életútját. Publikációnkban bemutatjuk, hogy az ADHD-s gyermekek időbeni gyermekpszichiátriai kezelése ugyan jelentős költségeket jelent, de eltörpül a kezeletlen ADHD-sok társadalomra és a gazdaságra gyakorolt költségtényezői mellett. Ezért javaslatunk szerint sokkal többet kellene a jövőben foglalkozni az ADHD-s gyermekek gondozásával, az időbeni diagnosztizálásukkal annak érdekében, hogy sem az oktatás, sem a munkaerőpiac, sem pedig a kriminalitás vonatkozásában ne jelenjenek meg szereplőként, így a költségvetést se terhelje jelentősen a kezeletlen tüneteikből eredő magatartásuk.

The emerging Nazi capitalist anti-intellectualism and the role of scientific, philosophical, artistic, and mystical knowledge as critical and creative resistance in the social diffusion of knowledge
Authors: Galeffi Dante Augusto
Published: June 2022

It is a reflection of the emerging phenomenon of the anti-intellectualism ideology that has become the hegemonic political narrative of the extreme right worldwide at the present time and, particularly in Brazil, it has gained a space that has taken over the discourse of established power, which requires a careful and polylogical investigation of the genesis of the political use of social networks that propagate the Nazi capitalist  discourse and promote what can be called “psychopower” and “psychopolitics”, according to the philosopher Byung-Chul Han, seeking to thereby unmask the devices for the production of truths based on a dogmatic denial of science and traditional and available human knowledge. The text follows the flow of a provocative and questioning oral exposition based on the radical critique of any reduction of reality to monological and negationist discourses in relation to publicly examined and recognized knowledge. The unveiled character of what has been called here integrated world Nazi capitalism requires an attitude of combating any reduction of reality to the perspective of the absolute sovereign, which also means a radical critique of the anti-intellectualism that has been growing disproportionately in the power discourse of those who are not yet human beings, but machines desiring necropower and in favor of eliminating and destroying the "others", contrary to what makes the human being a polyethic curator of the world of life in its totality, and in which nothing is left out, nothing can be excluded.
Essay on the Revolt
Authors: Dos Santos Reis Diego
Published: June 2022

The essay seeks to draw a portrait of contemporary Brazil from the multiple violations of human rights practiced and legitimized by reactionary and genocidal governments. It aims to thematize how the murder of the black Councilwoman Marielle Franco and the obstacles placed in the course of the investigations are the result of a political, systematic and programmatic project, which has at its core the genocide of the black population in Brazil supported by stigmatization and marginalization of this racial group. Finally, the perception of the revolt as a force of resistance also resonates in these lines, whose cry for justice is materialized in the insurgent voices and bodies, which denounce the intolerable measures, gestures and actions anchored in the racial and sexual pacts in the country

Level of β-defensin among Iraqi patients with COVID-19 in relation to oral health status
Authors: Al-Ghurabi Batool H. , Adham Zeina S. , Abbas Ahmed A.
Published: June 2022

Background: Innate immunity plays an important role in deciding the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and disease outcomes. Defensins are antimicrobial peptides that are produced by epithelial cells in mucosal locations and play a key role in innate immunity. Understanding COVID-19 mucosal agents and their role in disease severity is critical for developing therapeutic options and identification of prognostic markers for COVID-19. Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the role of β-defensin-1 in patients with COVID-19 and compare it with that of the control group, as well as to look into the link between β-defensin-1 and oral hygiene and disease severity. Methods: This case-control study included 50 patients with COVID-19 and 35 controls of similar ages and sexes. From November 2020 to January 2021, the patients were admitted to Baghdad Teaching Hospital/Medical City. The simplified oral hygiene index was used to determine oral hygiene status. Blood samples were obtained from all subjects (patients and controls), and the serum levels of β-defensin-1 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: Findings showed a non-significant reduction (P>0.05) in the β-defensin-1 level among patients compared with that of the controls. In addition, patients with severe disease had a significantly lower level of β-defensin-1 than those with mild disease. There were no significant variations in the levels of β-defensin-1 between patients with good oral hygiene and those with poor oral hygiene (P>0.05). Conclusions: The reduction in β-defensin-1 levels indicates an abnormal immune response in these patients and may require a new treatment option for this condition in the future. Furthermore, in patients with severe disease, a considerable drop in β-defensin-1 might be used as an indicator of illness severity.

Efficacy of the number of plates, fluid flow rate and volume fractions of aluminum oxide nanoparticles on thermal performance of gasket plate heat exchanger
Authors: Élcio Nogueira
Published: June 2022

The analytical model using the Second Law of Thermodynamics is applied to determine the thermal performance of a gasket plate heat exchanger. The gasket plate heat exchanger under analysis was initially projected for milk pasteurization, with water as a refrigerant, a mass flow rate equal to 0.42 kg/s, and a few plates equal to 20. The present work aims to determine the thermal performance of the heat exchanger, varying the number of plates, the flow rate of the refrigerant fluid, and using nanofluid with variations of volume fractions of aluminum oxide. Thermal efficiency, thermal effectiveness, generation entropy rate, heat transfer rate, and refrigerant and milk outlet temperatures were determined for comparison. In addition, the physical configuration of the plate heat exchanger, concerning the size and heat exchange area of the plates, was maintained.

Around the world dental caries is amongst the commonest disease affecting all age groups and yet seen by all as less common and severe; especially among Africans. Worrisome, our recent study showed isolated dental caries bacteria to be resistant to available antibiotics. In this study, antibiogram typing of bacteria isolated from dental caries of patients attending the dental clinic at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Nigeria were investigated. The study involves 223 bacteria positive samples (Streptococcus mutans = 150; Streptococcus sobrinus = 36; Lactobacillus acidophilus = 22; Streptococcus salivarius = 10; Streptococcus mitis = 4) collected and screened against 24 antibiotics divided into 8 groups of 3 each. Antibiogram study was conducted using Ajumali’s mnemonic coding and the results were presented in tables. The Ajumali’s mnemonic coding showed that no two strains of Streptococcus salivarius and Streptococcus mitis were repeated. However, 18.8%, 43.71%, and 61.11% of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus mutans, and Streptococcus sobrinus strain respectively presented repeated Ajumali’s mnemonic codes. The “00000005, 02000005, 03010005, 01010005 and 63112005” mnemonic codes appear in both S. mutans and S. sobrinus isolates, “02000004’’ appears in both L. acidophilus and S. mutans, 03000005 appears in both S. salivarius and S. mutans and 03110005 in S. mitis and S. sobrinus. The repetition of mnemonic codes from L. acidophilus, S. mutans, and S. sobrinus isolates and the appearance of codes between isolates indicate that some isolates may have strains with phenotypical similarities.

Early diagnosis of pigmentary glaucoma with pseudo-normal pressure in a patient after radial keratotomy (case study)
Authors: Burya R. A. , Kolenko O. V. , Fil A. A. , Sorokin E. L.
Published: June 2022

The article describes a clinical case of diagnostics and diagnosis of pigmentary glaucoma with pseudo-normal pressure in a patient who had previously underwent radial keratotomy (RKT).

This case is interesting in that the detection of pigmentary glaucoma can be significantly complicated by a falsely low level of intraocular pressure (IOP) in the myopic eye after previous RKT and secondary hypermetropic shift, combined with the difficulty of an in-depth ophthalmoscopic assessment of the state of the optic nerve head in myopia, as well as perimetric study due to keratotomy scars. Tonometric IOP readings in such eyes should be considered carefully and supplemented with examination of other characteristic clinical signs of pigmentary glaucoma. This would help establish the diagnosis early and timely prescribe pathogenetic treatment.
Drainage glaucoma surgery
Authors: Suleiman E. A. , Petrov S. Yu.
Published: June 2022

Glaucoma is a chronic disease characterized by optical neuropathy, progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells and nerve fiber layer, and is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. Currently, the most reliable way to achieve stable normalization of intraocular pressure is surgical treatment, and its success is measured by the duration of the hypotensive effect. However, surgical interventions do not always have a prolonged effect. One of the most drastic and effective ways of treating patients with glaucoma is surgery involving installation of a drainage implant. The use of implants in the area of surgical intervention is the most effective way to preserve the outflow routes of intraocular fluid created during antiglaucoma interventions. The use of implants is aimed at reducing excessive scarring in the filtration zone and at creating ways of resorption of intraocular fluid. In the history of glaucoma surgery, numerous designs for drainage implants have been proposed, differing from each other in material, drainage structure, implantation technique, and results. This literature review describes the types of anti-glaucoma drainage devices and their latest modifications, and presents the statistics of postoperative complications and long-term results of the use of foreign- and Russian-made implants in the treatment of glaucoma.

A perspective on 21st design challenges facing the urgency of solutions for global sustainability
Authors: Maia Manuela
Published: June 2022

Before the accelerated transformation of reality, we question the human role in the technological context, placing the need of thinking about the importance of intrinsically human competences. In the scope of design, a field of practice and academic discipline, the challenge for the profession and the future education is huge. Above all, these challenges have to do with large scale and with processes requiring the ability to deal with more complex conceptual frameworks, with a set of context dimensions involving economic, ecological, social, cultural, and political issues of societies in permanent change. The design community recognizes the value of designer's multidisciplinary skills and the ability to lead processes involving large socio-technical systems. However, today the designer faces the challenge of multidisciplinary working teams where skills go far beyond their traditional abilities. The thinking and practice of design reveals a set of core values ​​and virtues of the designers that allows a strategic positioning of these professionals in the complex problem-solving context. Nevertheless, designers will have an increasingly demanding role in creating products, services and experiences which mean a profession under pressure to evolve towards a more complex activity requiring new general and specialized skills. The objective of our reflection is about designer’s competencies transition demand, an imperative requiring technological and management skills and leadership capacity on sustainable solutions complex processes. Despite this recognition, designers must be prepared about collaboration and cooperation skills, a necessity more and more in tension with a reality where the whole potential of design to deal with complexity remains unaware.
Design community reflects about designer’s strategic value for facing global challenges and points out the complexity approach as a requirement of design education in the future. Considered a condition for design expansion this concern is also revealed in design education research contributions. This contextual disposition makes possible to regard an alignment about a direction to pursue. 
This paper presents a reflection about this problematic field which intends to be a contribution to understand how design discipline can evolve meeting the designer’s community recognition of the necessity of a set of updated critical dimensions for design activity. This reflection looks at the design community before a strong demand for an evolution, pushing to a design education deep transformation. This kind of evolution for design may occur first in the professional practice and will be primarily caused, in our perspective, by the desirable and the unavoidable impact on design processes of a design community's new mindset about core principles.
Emergencias simbólicas en la Plaza Dignidad del “18-O” chileno. Representaciones socioespaciales y re-significaciones del “Negro Matapacos” y la bandera Wenüfoye
Authors: Pacheco Habert Guillermo , Torres-Alruiz María Daniela , Cuevas Vargas Rodrigo
Published: June 2022

En este artículo buscamos dilucidar las representaciones socio-espaciales del Negro Matapacos y bandera Wenüfoye que estuvieron asociadas a las prácticas de reapropiación política y simbólica de la Plaza Dignidad, y que emergieron con una fuerza particular durante el 18 de octubre de 2019 (18 O). Revisamos el origen de los dos símbolos examinados y sus procesos de resignificación, mediante un análisis de contenido general de los discursos encontrados en fuentes secundarias (prensa digital, blogs y redes sociales). Además de la participación en foros virtuales, conversaciones informales con actores relevantes para el proceso, recorridos realizados en la plaza Dignidad y otras plazas del país. Nuestra hipótesis es que estos símbolos representan identidades periféricas emergentes que, al hacerse presentes en la ocupación, reapropiación y significación colectiva de la Plaza Dignidad, evidencian la crisis del proyecto político de nación monocultural, y su hegemonía identitaria moderna consecuente. Concluimos que la crisis chilena desde el 18-O ha abierto un espacio para transformaciones estructurales, donde las emergencias simbólicas contienen representaciones socio-espaciales que se producen de múltiples identidades periféricas, rurales, urbanas, indígenas y otras.

In our modern digital world, communication plays a most important role in research of new designs and novel findings. The proposed analysis is based on Ultra-wide band microstrip patch antenna with two methods of circular and rectangular patch. The design analysis and comparison of various antenna parameters are used for wireless sensor networks. The V-shaped slot is introduced on top of the circular patch and the horizontal T-shaped slot on rectangular patch using jeans substrate material, the design gives good resonance frequency of 9.5GHz and 7.7GHz for wireless communication networks. At resonance the receiver of UWB antenna has a frequency sensing element and the antenna parameters were analyzed using High Frequency Structural Simulator. From the analysis, gain of an antenna, VSWR, return loss as well as radiation pattern, Specific Absorption Rate SAR values are in the acceptable range. The VSWR value of both rectangular and circular patch is 1.05, return loss below -11dB determined in order to avoid surface wave propagation, the specific absorption rate SAR value should be below 2W and gain of each antenna consists of positive value. Hence the antenna meets the requirement suitable for wireless sensor network application.

"Flipped classroom" business English classes are required at most universities that teach economics, and this study will investigate how these classes help students learn critical thinking skills and improve their academic performance, as well as what students think of this model. A multimedia textbook titled "English for Business" enhances the learning environment. This was an exploratory investigation that used a range of methodologies. The study examined children's critical thinking and academic progress (learning outcomes). Surveys of students' critical thinking abilities and placement assessments were utilized to acquire statistical data. The Cronbach alpha coefficients were used to evaluate the critical thinking test outcomes, and the aggregated data was analyzed using SPSS AMOS statistical software. The study revealed that teaching ESP and Business English to Economics students via the "flipped schoolroom" technique can enrich both the learners' and instructors' education experiences. Because students are held responsible for their progress, this method develops critical thinking skills and academic accomplishment by using a variety of teaching methods. A student-centered approach replaces the teacher-centered approach in the preceding paradigm.

Aim:- To evaluate and compare the effect of thread geometry i.e. V-shape, Square and Buttress under 100 N force on peri-implant bone via Finite  Element. Materials & Method:- Three virtual models was prepared having implants with different thread designs:- V– thread design Model I; Square thread design Model II and Buttress thread design Model III. Loading points were marked on the superstructure (crowns virtually fabricated for each of the abutments) and 100N of vertical and oblique forces at an angle of 45º were applied. ANSYS software was used for qualitative and quantitative stress analysis. Maximum von Mises stresses and strain values at the implant surface and abutment were recorded. Results:- Highest displacement was seen in square shaped thread designed implants (0.46) followed by buttress shaped and then V-shaped thread design of implants (0.056). The mean stress for V-shaped design implants, square shaped design implants and buttress design implants were 6.12, 6.18 and 6.11 respectively. Highest difference in stress on abutment was 33.84, 32.59 and 20.53 in V shaped, square shaped and buttress shaped designs respectively. Conclusion:- Square shape thread design has biomechanical advantages in terms of reducing stress concentration and microstrain in bone.
updated review on gout

Published: June 2022

First identified by the Egyptians in 2640 BC, podagra (acute gout occurring in the first metatarsophalangeal joint) was later recognized by Hippocrates in the fifth century BC, who referred to it as 'the unwalkable disease'. The term is derived from the Latin word gutta (or 'drop'), and referred to the prevailing medieval belief that an excess of one of the four 'humors' - which in equilibrium were thought to maintain health - would, under certain circumstances, 'drop' or flow into a joint, causing pain and inflammation. Throughout history, gout has been associated with rich foods and excessive alcohol consumption. Because it is clearly associated with a lifestyle that,atleast in the past, could only be afforded by the affluent, gout has been referred to as the 'disease of kings'. Although there is evidence that colchicine, an alkaloid derived from the autumn crocus (Colchicum autumnale), was used as a powerful purgative in ancient Greece more than 2000 years ago, its first use as a selective and specific treatment for gout is attributed to the Byzantine Christian physician Alexander of Tralles in the sixth century AD.

In the secularised Netherlands, Roman Catholic schools are populated by a diverse population of which Catholics are only a minority. Therefore, Catholic religious education has to deal with the challenges educating religion to young people who are short of knowledge about religion and who only have superficial ideas about religion. Cognitive training is necessary to overcome this gap, but even more important religious education has to focus on the unique qualities of each pupil in the classroom, trying to enhance his and her roots, make them strong human beings to face the challenges in their full everyday life. A genuine dialogue and well-designed activating exercises is what we hope to develop to fulfil this obligation as teachers at Catholic, and all other, secondary schools.
Wat is er aan de hand in religieland?
Authors: Halman Loek , Gelissen John
Published: June 2022

Grace Davie’s (1994) famous characterization of European religiosity in terms of believing without belonging triggered us to elaborate in a more sophisticated way on the interplay between religious beliefs and religious belonging. Using latent class cluster analysis, we explored to what extent there are clusters of people with distinct religious profiles which resemble Davie’s categories, and whether, and if so how they have changed over time. Analyses of the survey data from the European Values Study lead to the conclusion that Davie’s idea can be confirmed, however, only to a very limited extent. There appears strong evidence for the existence of a group of what David Voas (2009) has identified as fuzzy believers. We also concluded that European religious diversity persist and the cross-temporal analysis indicates that a clear distinction has emerged between a small group of countries whose citizens can be predominantly characterized as conventional believers and a larger group of countries with a mixture of fuzzy believers, unconventional believers who do not belong, and conventional religious believers.
