A Detailed Analysis on Evaluation of Green Computing
Authors: Mishra Sushil Kumar
Published: October 2024

Abstract: Currently, computers are not only used in offices but utilized at home as well. The amount of energy consumed by the growing daily use of computers contributes to a rise in the atmosphere's carbon content. The IT sector is mostly to blame for 3% of the world's energy usage, which is rising by 20% annually. These days, green computing is a very emerging topic today. He is responsible for the use of computers and associated resources. It encompasses the application of energy efficient processors, servers and peripherals, along with less resource usage and appropriate electronic waste disposal waste. Enhancing the life cycle efficiency of IT devices and approving the recycling of wasteful items and manufacturing waste are the main objectives of green computing. The methods for conserving green energy and their potential applications are discussed in this article. By "aligning all IT processes and practices with the core principles of sustainability, which are to reduce, reuse, and recycle; and finding innovative ways to use IT in business processes to deliver sustainability benefits across the enterprise and beyond," green computing can also create beneficial solutions. Green computing and green chemistry share many of the same objectives, including minimizing the use of hazardous materials, optimizing energy efficiency over the course of a product's lifetime, and fostering the recyclable or biodegradable nature of factory waste and non-operational products .

Authors:   University of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, Saqware Godfrey Joseph , B Ismail ,   Yenepoya University, India
Published: October 2024

The stock markets are among the most volatile market worldwide. The future of these markets is daily affected by political instability and different enacted economic and government policies. Thus, the prediction and forecast of these markets are very important. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is the oldest stock market in Asia and India. This paper applied deep learning methods to predict the five companies closing prices under BSE. The selected companies based on market capitalization were Reliance Industries Ltd (RELI), TATA Consultancy Services (TCS), HDFC Bank Ltd (HDBK), Infosys Ltd (INFY), and ICICI Bank Ltd (ICBK). Based on Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), the traditional Bidirectional Long Short-Term Model (Bi-LSTM) model predicted well the HDBK closing prices. The Convolution Neural Networks (CNN) outperformed other models in predicting the ICBK, RELI, and INFY. The proposed Hybrid CNN-LSTM model with Bayesian hyperparameter tuning outperformed the CNN and Bi-LSTM models in predicting the TCS close price. Moreover, the hybrid model ranked second in predicting closing prices in all the selected companies. The next 100 days forecast shows high price volatility in the selected companies. In the closing prices forecasts, the hybrid CNN-LSTM model with Bayesian hyperparameter tuning has captured well the trend of the historical data. Additionally, Traders and financial analysts may easily understand the future market trend using the methods. Therefore, the powerful computer and more complex hybrid model may be applied to bring the best performance in terms of accuracy.

Published: October 2024

With the advent of technology, modern human activities produce a huge amount of data. This vast amount of data facilitates a better model training, thus creating accurate predictions. But most of the business entities lack the facilities and resources to develop an AI system. There is a need for a platform, to which the business can outsource the process of data collection, model development, and its deployment. These models should be tailored for each use case. The work presented here attempts to address these issues using blockchain and incremental learning. The transactions and user identification in the platform are implemented using blockchain, thus maintaining the ownership of the model and dataset in a transparent, immutable and decentralized manner. Incremental learning algorithms are employed to facilitate the real-time updation of the model. All the models and the datasets collected in the platform are considered resources. The platform opens up an avenue for developing a marketplace for data and trained models.

Authors: Wong Ka Po , Zhang Bohan , Lai Cynthia Yuen Yi , Xie Yao Jie , Li Yan , Li Chen , Qin Jing
Published: October 2024

Background

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) usually begins in childhood and is often accompanied by impairments in social functioning. Virtual reality (VR) has emerged as an adjunctive tool to embed in social skills training to enhance the social skills of children with ADHD, but its effectiveness requires further investigation.

Objective

This study aims to enhance the social skills of children with ADHD by examining the feasibility and effectiveness of VR-based training in comparison to traditional social skills training.

Methods

A 3-arm randomized controlled trial was conducted with 90 children with ADHD aged 6-12 years. Participants were randomly assigned to 3 weeks of 12-session VR-based social skills training, traditional social skills training, or a waitlist control group of equivalent duration. Outcome measures included assessments by a clinical psychologist who was blinded to group assignments, the Social Skills Improvement System Rating Scale, the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, and the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire, conducted at baseline and after the intervention.

Results

The preliminary results support the feasibility and acceptability of VR training for children with ADHD aged 6-12 years. Analysis showed that the VR and traditional social skills training groups experienced a statistically significant improvement in the clinical psychologist assessment of social skills and parent-rated self-control, initiative, and emotional control after the intervention compared with baseline. The VR group performed significantly better than the traditional social skills group on social skills assessed by clinical psychologists (F2,85=76.77; P<.001) and on parent-rated self-control (F2,85=18.77; P<.001), initiative (F2,85=11.93; P<.001), and emotional control (F2,85=17.27; P<.001). No significant between-group differences were found for parent-rated cooperation and inhibition (all P>.05).

Conclusions

The findings provide preliminary evidence supporting the feasibility and superior effectiveness of VR-based social skills training compared to traditional approaches for enhancing social skills and related executive functions in children with ADHD. These results suggest that VR may be a valuable tool to embed within social skills interventions for this population. Further research is warranted to explore the long-term impacts and generalizability of these benefits.

The experiment was conducted in the East Gojjam Zone of the Amhara Regional State to evaluate the varieties of released Napier grass in the study area. The four varieties of Napier grass considered for this research experiment were Maralfalafa, ILRI- 16743, ILRI-14984 and Zehone-03 (Acc. 16819). The varieties were planted in 4 m x 3 m plots using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications at the beginning of the main rainy season. Root splits at the Debremarkos onstation and Debere Eliyas sites were planted in four rows per plot. The analysis was conducted using R software. Least significance difference (LSD) at the 5% significance level was used for the comparison of means. The combined plant height, number of tillers per plant, total fresh biomass yield per hectare (t/ha), and total dry matter yield (t/ha) did not significantly differ between the varieties. The leaf-to-stem ratios of the Napier grass varieties were significantly different. In the present study, ILRI-14984 was found to be leafier than the other tested varieties. The combined analysis of the second- and third-year data revealed significant differences in plant height, number of tillers and leaf-to-stem ratio among the tested years. The greatest plant height (152.42 cm) at harvest was found in the second year after establishment, which was 2022, whereas the number of tillers per plant was greater in the 2023 harvest season. The testing location did not affect plant height, total fresh biomass yield per hectare, or total dry matter yield per hectare. The number of tillers per plant and the leaf-to-stem ratio significantly differed among the tested locations. A greater number of tillers per plant was recorded at the Debre Eliyas testing site. Similarly, the leaf-to-stem ratio was significantly greater at the same testing site.

Maximizing economic potential and sustainability: Replanting waste management in West Kalimantan's oil palm plantations
Authors: Rosyadi Rosyadi
Published: October 2024

Oil palm plantations in West Kalimantan cover the largest land area and yield considerable output. While palm oil is the primary product, these plantations also generate by-products, such as production waste, posing environmental risks. Consequently, replanting initiatives are undertaken to mitigate ecological impacts. However, independent replanting efforts still generate significant waste, including oil palm trunks and other biomass with substantial economic potential. Hence, it is crucial to estimate the potential waste from replanting activities and assess the economic benefits achievable through waste processing. Estimations reveal that annually, processing replanting waste into wood pellets could yield an economic value of IDR 125,376,725,586.59 for independent plantations, while maintaining carbon neutrality.

Pragmatisme Politik Nahdlatul Ulama Pada Masa Pemerintahan Presiden Joko Widodo
Authors: Aji Sakti Hidayatullah  , Chumeidi Ahmad , Fadli Yusuf , Nurlukman Adie Dwiyanto
Published: October 2024

This study aims to explain the political pragmatism of Nahdlatul Ulama in Joko Widodo administration. As a socio-religious organization with a strong mass base, it can accompany NU's political fluctuations, both internally and externally. Many consider the political actions of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) to be pragmatic. In a sense, NU's political actions were motivated by the motivation to gain status and power because they were very pro-government in the past and in recent years, especially during the reign of President Jokowi. To answer this problem, Ekowati's theory of political pragmatism is used which is then supported by James S. Coleman's rational choice theory. The data were collected through the literature contained in books, journals and other online sources that are representative and relevant and analyzed qualitatively using a literature approach. This study concludes that in theory it is true that NU has taken pragmatic steps in politics. However, on the other hand, NU does all of this in accordance with the existing Qoidah Fiqh, and indeed NU's politics has never really departed from the foundations contained in Fiqh.

Permasalahan Korupsi dan Hak Asasi Manusia dalam Penyaluran Dana Rehabilitasi Gempa di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat Tahun 2018
Authors: Hardi Lalu Ary Kurniawan
Published: October 2024

Dalam menilik praktik korupsi yang merajalela selama alokasi dana pemulihan pasca gempa tahun 2018 di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB), penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi dinamika terkait masalah korupsi di Indonesia dan dampaknya pada penegakan hak asasi manusia. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dan menganalisis data sekunder yang bersumber dari literatur online, artikel ini berusaha mengungkap implikasi teoritis dan praktis yang timbul dari perpotongan antara masalah korupsi dengan penegakan hak asasi manusia di Indonesia. Secara khusus, penelitian ini menggali kasus korupsi terkait dana rehabilitasi untuk gempa tahun 2018 di Provinsi NTB. Melalui analisis data yang seksama, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa korupsi telah terbukti menghambat realisasi tiga hak asasi manusia mendasar: kebebasan untuk mengakses pendidikan, hak untuk hidup layak dengan akses ke jaminan sosial, dan kebebasan untuk menjalankan agama. Selain itu, rumitnya korupsi tidak hanya berkontribusi pada pelanggaran hak asasi manusia yang berkelanjutan di NTB, tetapi juga memperparah ketidaksetaraan yang sudah ada, terutama terlihat sebelum gempa tahun 2018. Persoalan ini lebih lanjut didorong oleh penegakan hukum yang lemah dalam konteks manajemen pasca bencana di Indonesia dan kurangnya kesadaran dan pemahaman publik terhadap prinsip-prinsip hak asasi manusia yang mendasar.

Authors: Habibilla Akbar Fasya , Fahadayna Adhi Cahya
Published: October 2024

Work activities are becoming increasingly mobile as a result of advancements in information technology. European productivity is changing to more flexible work approaches with internet processes. Many productive-age citizens from European countries with high living costs engage in digital nomadism activities.  This research aims to explore the pull and push factors of the digital nomadism process and determine the motives for digital nomadism activities carried out by Europeans. Using netnography analysis tools and qualitative approaches, researchers are attempting to determine what factors influence and how European workers carry out digital nomadic activity patterns in Madeira, Portugal. As a result, researchers bring forth the descriptive outcomes of the analysis. In this article, researchers conclude that digital nomadism is a practice or, more accurately, a new way of life mostly practiced by remote workers with flexible work schedules. The idea of work-life balance is equally important to digital nomads. The growth of digital platforms that increasingly enable work to be done online drives the development of digital nomadism activities. This article will also go into greater detail on several pulls and push elements, as well as numerous issues about activities for digital nomads.

Published: October 2024

This research aims to determine the implementation of Papua's special autonomy on the economy of the Kokoda Muslim community in Malawele Village, Aimas District, Sorong Regency, Southwest Papua Province. This research has significant social relevance because it highlights the implementation of the special autonomy policy in Papua, and provides an understanding of its impact on the local community's economy and the community in Papua has rich cultural and religious diversity. We used the Mix Method (combination research), which combined qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data collection techniques were observation, interviews with key informants, followed by distributing questionnaires to 150 Kokoda Muslims. The data were analyzed using the theory of George C. Edwards III's four public policy variables, including communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings show that the implementation of special autonomy still faces obstacles and has not achieved the goals formulated based on the goals of special autonomy. Special autonomy should promise a better future for the Papuan people in general, especially communities we investigated in this study, especially in the economic sector because there are still many people who have not achieved prosperity in the special autonomous region in Malawele sub-district, especially Kokoda Muslims. The implementation of special autonomy in the economy of the Kokoda Muslim community is still very low, and welfare assistance in the economic sector has not been distributed at all. Still, there has been assistance from the regional government in the education sector.
Glocalization of Religious Extremism and Terrorism in Indonesia
Authors: Wahyudi  , Pradhan David
Published: October 2024

The rise of religious interpretation based political extremism culminating in violent terrorism is a serious threat confronting Indonesia in the 21st Century. The ostensibly multifarious and heterogenous impetus behind the origin of the resort to terrorism notwithstanding, the prevalent reductionist obscurantism surrounding the complexities underlying political violence justified through a religious referential, warrant academic re-interrogation, for deciphering the authenticity of the extant Western-dominated hypothetical paradigms. This theoretical, analytical Article, based exclusively on secondary sources, seeks to critically reinterpret the international and domestic factors that inspire terrorism in Indonesia. Drawing from the dominant theoretical explications and discourses accounting for the phenomenon of the proliferation of intermestic terrorism, the Article adopts a structural realist framework for interrogating the inductive effects of International politics on domestic terrorism in Indonesia.
Searching for an Optimal Model for the Renewal of the Constitutional Court to Avoid a Constitutional Crisis: Dream or Reality?*
Authors: Miliuvienė Jolita
Published: October 2024

The failed renewal of the Constitutional Court in Lithuania was not the first in Europe, and will not be the last. The appointment of constitutional judges, usually undertaken with the involvement of the political institutions, became a very sensitive issue closely linked to their independence. After a sequence of unsuccessful attempts to renew the composition of constitutional courts, some states fall into a deep democratic backsliding, while some take the initiative to reform the existing appointment procedure, seeking to prevent the politicisation of constitutional control institutions. A universal and standardised one-size-fits-all model does not exist, as each particular national context must be considered. However, certain lessons are to be learned and certain pitfalls to be avoided. Constitutional courts must correspond to the criteria of the tribunal established by law, as disclosed in international jurisprudence. For this purpose, the proper law is needed. This article analyses the advantages and shortcomings of some elements of the proposed and partly realised Slovak reform on the appointment of constitutional judges that Lithuania and other states could benefit from. This allows for the conclusion that the explicit criterion of professional reputation might prevent arbitrary nominations and ensure that the best judge for the court and the society would be appointed. Contrary to most convictions, a larger majority in the Parliament is not necessary to keep this procedure in line with the principle of the rule of law. The only requirement is that the law must be clear, unambiguous and provide for the steps to be taken if the rotation fails.

Desde 2010 o Brasil passou a ser refúgio de imigrantes haitianos. Assim como outras cidades, Lajeado, no Rio Grande do Sul, virou destino para essa população. Por conta disso, o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) precisou se adaptar para incluir e acolher esses novos cidadãos. Entretanto as diferenças socioculturais, os problemas na intercomunicação e o preconceito tornaram-se adversidades a serem solucionadas. Dentro desse contexto, gestantes haitianas integraram-se ao sistema de saúde, e juntamente com seus bebês tornaram-se usuários do sistema. Com esse ingresso, foi essencial que o pré-natal fosse realizado de forma completa, possibilitando uma gestação saudável e um parto ideal para o neonato, sem impactos para a saúde da mãe. No entanto, algumas questões envolvendo o aleitamento materno, baseadas em costumes e crenças socioculturais, como a síndrome do leite estragado, se tornaram relevantes neste grupo, corroborando, assim, com o possível desenvolvimento de patologias como icterícia, hipoglicemia neonatal e perda de peso excessiva nesses recém-nascidos filhos de haitianas. Dessa forma, essa pesquisa analisou as repercussões da amamentação malsucedida, durante as primeiras 48 horas, com o aparecimento desses sinais patológicos nos bebês descendentes de haitianas nascidos em um hospital de médio porte no interior do Rio Grande do Sul. Observou-se que a maioria dos recém-nascidos teve uma amamentação bem-sucedida. Dos 18 neonatos que apresentaram uma amamentação insatisfatória, 16 deles necessitaram de uso de fórmula láctea, e destes, 15 desenvolveram hipoglicemia. Em números menores (16,3%) também se percebeu a prevalência de índices de icterícia nesses neonatos. A perda de peso não foi observada de forma relevante, não podendo relacionar com a conduta de amamentação.

Relacionar o estado nutricional e força de preensão palmar em idosos residentes em Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos. Trata-se de um estudo transversal quantitativo de caráter descritivo, com abordagem em idosos residentes em Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos. A amostra foi por conveniência e composta por 60 idosos, 13 de instituição privada e 47 na pública. Foi realizada a avaliação antropométrica para obtenção de Índice de Massa Corporal, classificado segundo Organização Pan-Americana da Saúde (2002), Circunferência de Panturrilha, classificado segundo Organização Mundial da Saúde (1995) e da Força de Preensão Palmar do European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (2019), que avaliou o estado nutricional e de sarcopenia dos idosos. Os dados foram analisados através de tabelas simples, cruzadas, porcentagens e pelo Teste de Associação Teste Exato de Fisher. O nível de significância estatística máximo foi de 5% (p≤0,05). No presente estudo, a maioria dos idosos eram de instituição pública, do sexo feminino e estavam eutróficos segundo o Índice de Massa Muscular e a circunferência de panturrilha. Na força de preensão palmar houve prevalência de suspeita de sarcopenia. Dentre os métodos utilizados, não houve relação entre o estado nutricional e a força de preensão palmar.

Food insecurity (FI) can directly impact children’s eating behaviour and nutritional status, potentially leading to long-term health issues. This study aimed to examine the relationship between children’s eating behaviour, nutritional status, and FI among preschoolers in a socially vulnerable area of a municipality in Southern Brazil. A cross-sectional, quantitative study was conducted involving children aged 2 to 5 who were beneficiaries of the Bolsa Família Program (BFP). Data were collected using the Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ) and the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale (EBIA). Nutritional status was classified using height-for-age and BMI-for-age indices. The study comprised 90 children, with 59.0% experiencing food insecurity. Girls exhibited a higher average score of disordered eating behaviour compared to boys, indicating a stronger interest in food. Nutritional status analysis revealed a high prevalence of overweight risk (43.30%), particularly among boys. A significant association was observed between BMI-for-age (eutrophy) and food insecurity (p=0.003). The majority of eutrophic children also experience food insecurity. There is a need to carry out research on similar topics in order to support the development of public policies on food and nutritional security.

As infecções respiratórias são importantes causas de morbimortalidade pediátrica, sendo os vírus uma das principais etiologias. As manifestações clínicas podem variar desde casos leves a severos, necessitando de hospitalização e, muitas vezes, de assistência em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar as internações pediátricas por infecções respiratórias no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Realizou-se um estudo retrospectivo, de série histórica, a respeito das internações de crianças de um a nove anos, no período de janeiro de 2018 a novembro de 2023 devido a infecções respiratórias. As informações foram coletadas na plataforma do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS), a partir dos dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares. De acordo com os dados obtidos, as principais doenças do aparelho respiratório associadas à morbidade hospitalar foram pneumonia, asma, doenças crônicas das amígdalas e adenóides e bronquite e bronquiolite agudas, totalizando 68.507 internações. Verificou-se o aumento na taxa (117,5 e 120,16) de internações pediátricas por doenças do aparelho respiratório, principalmente, por pneumonia, no período de 2022 e 2023 pós-pandemia de COVID-19, em relação aos anos de 2018 (104,8) e 2019 (104,15), ou seja, período pré-pandemia de COVID-19. Durante a pandemia, ou seja, 2020 e 2021, as taxas ficaram bem inferiores (34,53 e 60,66).

A Biologia é uma área do conhecimento importante, pois traz conceitos de suma importância que explicam fenômenos ocorridos no cotidiano. Esse componente curricular apresenta conceitos relevantes, facilmente contextualizáveis. Muitos estudantes a veem como prazerosa e com abordagens interessantes. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as principais metodologias de ensino e recursos didáticos usados no ensino de Biologia de acordo com a produção científica atual publicada na Revista de Ensino de Biologia da SBEnBio (2017 a 2023). A pesquisa é de natureza básica, descritiva e exploratória. Para o a realização desse trabalho, foi necessário realizar um levantamento bibliográfico no site da revista. A pesquisa foi conduzida de junho a outubro de 2023. Os 15 artigos encontrados foram analisados com base nos critérios estabelecidos, e os dados foram sistematizados por meio de gráfico e quadro. Dentre os periódicos científicos encontrados, verificou-se que as metodologias mais utilizadas para ensinar Biologia no Ensino Médio foram jogos didáticos, softwares, aplicativos, questionários, pesquisa-ação, aprendizagem baseada em problemas, entre outros. Ao analisar os resultados é possível inferir que tanto as metodologias quanto os recursos didáticos usados para o ensino da biologia no período estabelecido contribuíram significativamente para potencializar o ensino, personalizando de acordo com a necessidade de cada etapa de ensino. Logo, esses recursos vieram para ficar e estão sendo cada vez mais introduzidos no meio educativo, apresentando resultados positivos e intensificando o processo de ensino.
