Spatial Analysis of Poverty Incidence and Road Networks in Eastern Visayas Region, Philippines
Authors: Pantolla Hernan , Atibagos-Nacion Nelda
Published: July 2023

Poverty is a prevailing challenge in the Philippines. Through the small area estimation (SAE) of the Philippine Statistics Authority, the poor cities and municipalities with poor households were identified. Some locations are also vulnerable to natural calamities and have limited resources. The 2018 SAE shows that the region of Eastern Visayas is one of the poorest in the country. Moreover, the region is vulnerable to natural hazards, particularly typhoons. The regional road network is also less connected for the poorer municipalities. Hence, slow economic growth is a concerted outcome. To provide an evidence-based framework on potentially optimized resource allocation of, say, government institutions and humanitarian organizations in countering these poverty concerns exacerbated by natural calamities, this paper used the geographical information system (GIS) for easier visualization and interpretability. Spatial analyses were also applied to [1] determine if clusters of poverty exist in the region across different periods and [2] if hot spots of poverty incidence exist in the latest SAE. The findings reveal that poverty incidence for all four previous periods of SAE has significant non-random clusters. In addition, poverty hot spots, at varying confidence levels, were statistically identified. These hot spots are also vulnerable to frequent typhoons and have limited access to national roads. Additionally, the bootstrap regression shows that economic growth could be boosted by expanding road networks as an indicator of decreased poverty incidence. This study, thus, further emphasizes the importance of data-driven decision-making, particularly in efforts to counter poverty, including some of its aggravating external factors such as natural calamities. The application of empirical methods in formulating and improving policies, especially those related to infrastructure investments and expansions, is also recommended, given the limited resources. It also highlights how road networks in the region could be instrumental in promoting economic progress, particularly in less accessible areas.
Toward a Pandiatonic Serialism: Richard Rodney Bennett’s Impromptus (1968) and Sonata (1983)
Authors: Chandler Oliver
Published: July 2023

One of the characteristic aspects of Bennett’s guitar works is his use of exclusively pandiatonic pc sets, and of his treatment of tone rows as generating complexes rather than as themes. Richard Cohn defines pandiatonicism (after Slonimsky) as “using diatonic scales without triads.” I use the term principally to refer to diatonic, non-triadic sets that are combined in (often freely) chromatic combinations. In the first of the Impromptus, the pandiatonic quality of the row’s constituent sets represents an almost incidental facet of the overall musical argument, which privileges more standard means of post-tonal motivic development. Pandiatonic sets account mostly for the relative consonance of the surface, although they can still be understood abstractly to frame sections in ways almost suggestive of a tonal center. In the final Arioso, however, a single, prolonged set class, intoned melodically, is juxtaposed with and contextualized by a number of different pan-diatonic verticals. The levels of relative dissonance or consonance that result are dependent on scalar proximity or distance (as determined by the cycle of fifths). Furthermore, the unfolding of the piece is determined by the “prolonged” pandiatonic set class’s becoming increasingly “denatured” (i.e., turned into a fully chromatic pitch grouping) in its middle section, before being restored at the beginning of the movement’s final section. In the opening Allegro of the Sonata, by contrast, a twelve-tone row is arguably supplanted by an initiating eighteen-note gestural shape, which is then transformed serially. Bennett’s new, more extensive row ultimately carries his earlier pan-diatonic arguments one step further, modeling a vectored motion from pan-diatonic overdetermination to pan-diatonic specificity. Even where strict serialism is decentred, in sections of the Allegro and the work’s other movements, this is in aid of creating a richer harmonic argument, juxtaposing pan-diatonic sets with chromatic, octatonic, hexatonic, and whole-tone sets (thus building on the “denaturing” process encountered in the Arioso).

An Intelligent Model for Generating Indications of Tax Gap in Service Companies
Authors: Franco Wellington , Alves Elioenai , Sousa Fábio , Bastos Zairo , Pinheiro Vládia
Published: July 2023

Tax gap is still one of the main problems of the Brazilian Tax Administration. In the case of the Service Tax (ISS), recognizing and estimating the tax loss becomes more difficult, as the ISS is a self-assessing tax and the services provided are volatile and cannot be verified after delivery. Aiming to promote tax self-regulation by service companies, this paper proposes a model for generating indications of tax gap, based on forecasting costs and arbitrating the billing of such companies. The model is composed by a committee of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science (CD) algorithms that infer a probability of a given company presenting outlier behavior. The differential of the model is the possibility of inferring such indications even in the absence of data on the costs of companies. The evaluation of the proposed model was carried out in a case study in the city of Fortaleza. As a result of the experiment, 1,839 service companies, contained in a universe of 22,071 companies, were recognized with strong indication of tax gap, resulting in loss of ISS tax revenue calculated at approximately R$ 10 million.
Application of Naive Bayes in Assessing Student Satisfaction with Facilities and Services at SMK Dastamaco
Authors: Novianti Deny
Published: July 2023

Education is one of the important factors that are highly considered. Starting from the selection of quality schools and also the background of good teachers. However, sometimes in order to get good facilities, of course, it is also balanced with a lot of costs. Maybe only parents who can afford it will not be a problem, but not so with parents of students whose economic conditions are middle to lower. SMK Dastamaco continues to strive to provide the best service and quality for students, so that parents feel safe and comfortable having entrusted their children to go to school. Usually, it is rare for schools to evaluate students' satisfaction with the service and quality of the existing school. Therefore, the school also lacks information about which side needs to be improved so that the school can be even better later. Based on the above problems, it is necessary to hold a differentiating classification to find out how many students are satisfied with the service and quality of SMK Dastamaco. And to classify it can use the Naive Bayes method, where later several criteria are used to be able to find out whether students are satisfied or dissatisfied with the service and quality of the school. From the test results conducted with 191 data, and as many as 27 as test data. An accuracy pattern of 0.556 stated Satisfied, and 0.222 expressed dissatisfied and also dissatisfied.
 
Pendidikan merupakan salah satu faktor penting yang sangat difikirkan. Mulai dari pemilihan sekolah yang berkualitas dan juga latar belakang pengajarnya yang baik. Namun, terkadang agar mendapatkan fasilitas yang bagus, tentu pula diimbangi dengan biaya yang tidak sedikit. Mungkin baru para orang tua murid yang mampu tidak akan menjadi masalah, tapi tidak begitu dengan orang tua murid yang kondisi perekonomiannya menengah ke bawah. SMK Dastamaco terus berupaya untuk memberikan pelayanan dan kualitas yang terbaik bagi para siswa, agar para orang tuanya merasa aman dan nyaman telah menitipkan anaknya untuk bersekolah. Biasanya jarang ada sekolah yang melakukan evaluasi terhadap kepuasan para siswa terhadap pelayanan dan kualitas sekolah yang ada. Maka dari itu, pihak sekolah juga kurang mendapatkan informasi tentang sisi manakah yang perlu diperbaiki agar sekolah bisa jadi lebih baik lagi nantinya. Berdasarkan masalah di atas perlu diadakannya klasifikasi pembeda untuk mengetahui seberapa banyak siswa yang sudah merasa puas terhadap pelayanan dan kualitas dari SMK Dastamaco. Dan untuk mengklasifikasikannya dapat menggunakan metode Naive Bayes, dimana nantinya digunakan beberapa kriteria untuk dapat mengetahui apakah siswa merasa puas atau tidak puas terhadap pelayanan dan kualitas sekolah. Dari hasil pengujian yang dilakukan dengan data sebanyak 191, dan sebanyak 27 sebagai data tes. Didapatkan pola akurasi sebesar 0, 556 yang menyatakan Puas, serta 0, 222 yang menyatakan kurang puas dan juga tidak puas.

Marginal costs are changes in total costs in the form of increases or decreases in total costs due to changes in the quality of goods or services. Through the types of production costs used as processing costs, it will be seen to what extent the use of capital will be used and profits will be obtained. This analysis will help to what extent a company can determine the planning for the business that is built, whether to get maximum or minimum profits. This study uses literature study, which is research in which data sources and data collection are obtained by taking library data, reading, recording and processing the data as research material. Based on an analysis of literature data regarding "Maximum Profits from Fishermen Business in East Balikpapan District" the results obtained are the maximum profit in terms of marginal costs, namely the maximum profit for the total catch of fishermen and occurs at a maximum catch rate (Q) of 159.92. So it was concluded that the fishing business in East Balikpapan District had not yet achieved maximum profit, because the fishermen's catch exceeded the maximum catch level requested.

In the past, statisticians, programmers, and data scientists handled data analytics, rarely interacting with companies directly. However, this "experts only" method of data analysis and display has been altered by more user-friendly data visualization, dashboards, and mashup technologies. With improvements that make it possible for people at all levels of an organization to analyze data in meaningful ways, data analytics is being pushed into business. The reporting and visualization tools that statisticians formerly used are now being improved by manufacturers of enterprise-grade analytics. This study describes how dashboards help businesses optimize their operations. And how business dashboards are developed using real-time data and people's innate capacity for visual thought.

Mikroorganizmi v prebavilih imajo glede na izsledke nedavnih raziskav vlogo pri uravnavanju fizioloških presnovnih procesov, energijskega ravnovesja, imunskega odgovora in ohranjanju celovitosti črevesnega epitela. Združbe mikroorganizmov, ki naseljujejo neko okolje oziroma ekološko nišo, imenujemo mikrobiom. S pomočjo estroboloma – bakterijskih genov, ki imajo sposobnost metaboliziranja konjugiranih estrogenov, ima mikrobiom črevesja zmožnost uravnavati ravni estrogenov v sistemskem krvnem obtoku. Estrogeni in drugi steroidni hormoni imajo pomembno vlogo pri uravnavanju sestave in funkcije mikroorganizmov, ki kolonizirajo rodila. Dosedanjim raziskavam je skupna ugotovitev, da je prevlada laktobacilov v ženskih rodilih povezana z ugodnim reproduktivnim in perinatološkim izidom. Motnje mikrobioma rodil kot tudi mikrobioma prebavil lahko tako preko delovanja estroboloma vplivajo na razvoj kroničnih vnetnih (endometrioza) kot tudi malignih ginekoloških bolezni (rak endometrija).

Published: July 2023

Este documento contribuye al ordenamiento de la producción académica sobre la narcocultura mexicana, particularmente mediante la revisión de su trayectoria y evolución, así como con la identificación de los enfoques desde los cuales se ha conceptualizado. Con apoyo en una investigación documental sobre la producción académica en artículos, capítulos y libros centrados en el tema, se encontró que existe una amplia área de investigación que no se limita al estudio de las formas simbólicas, las estéticas y estilos de vida, sino que analiza las dinámicas culturales ligadas al narcotráfico como empresa transnacional y su relación con las condiciones de vida de millares de personas en México que han quedado insertas en este entorno; además, estas aportaciones ayudan a desmontar la versión maniquea en torno al narcotráfico como una lucha entre lo legal e ilegal, y permiten entender a las drogas como un producto cultural arraigado en elementos locales que emerge dentro del proceso de globalización neoliberal.

El narcotráfico no es una realidad nueva en España, pero sí carecía de producciones culturales tales como novelas, series de televisión, películas y piezas musicales tan comunes como populares en América Latina. En la última década la narcocultura comenzó a cimentar en España, con especial énfasis en Galicia. En efecto, al menos a nivel simbólico Galicia ocupa el sitio protagónico como epicentro del narcotráfico. ¿Cómo es representado el narcotráfico en Galicia? ¿Existen diferencias sustanciales entre las narcoficciones gallegas y las latinoamericanas? Este trabajo responde a estas preguntas desde la formulación de tres tesis relacionas con la violencia y el consumo.

Published: July 2023

Cider is an alcoholic beverage that is produced when fruit juices are fermented; it is made using the same techniques as wine. Cider occupies a special place among its more well-known alcoholic siblings since it is brewed like wine but mostly served as beer. Eight treatments were reproduced three times in the CRD (Complete Randomized Design) format of the experiment. The pineapples were fermented by using two different kinds of yeast, baker yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and Hamei (Bacteria (Bacillus sp.), fungi (Aspergillus niger van Tiegh.) and the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) for 30 days. Longer fermentation times resulted in higher levels of alcohol, acidity, and sensory characteristics, but lower levels of total soluble solids, pH, and specific gravity were observed. Cider is a fermented product, produced from fruit juices, which increases juice’s shelf life. In this experiment, Hamei and baker yeast were used to make pineapple cider. Treatment T5 (Pineapple pieces (700 g) + Sugar (300g) + Hamei (0.5g) + Water (1L) produced the best cider among all the treatments in terms of alcohol content (7.00), pH (3.90) and total soluble solids (4.90 Brix).
Conflict paradigms cannot reveal competence

De Neys is right to criticize the exclusivity assumption in dual-process theories, but he misses the original sin underlying this assumption, which his working model continues to share. Conflict paradigms, in which experimenters measure how one cognitive process interferes (or does not interfere) with another, license few inferences about how the interfered-with process works on its own.

Deliberative thinking often consists of several steps, each involving a switch decision. These decisions may be influenced by confidence in the thinking done so far. Individuals may differ in their tolerance of low confidence and thus may arrive at unjustified high confidence too soon, either from trusting their intuition or by bolstering an initially favored conclusion.

Este texto analiza la política exterior española hacia Argelia a través de los datos recogidos en la “Base de Datos de Política Exterior” (BDPEX), un nuevo instrumento para el análisis de las relaciones exteriores españolas desarrollado por el Grupo de Estudios sobre las Sociedades Árabes y Musulmanas (GRESAM) de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha. De los datos se desprende que han sido los intereses energéticos los que han dominado la agenda bilateral. El análisis de los diferentes indicadores de la BDPEX muestra, también, que las cuestiones de carácter más político, como el conflicto del Sahara Occidental o la emergencia del islam político, han tenido una presencia menor que otros temas, como la inmigración o la lucha contra el terrorismo. AbstractThis paper analyzes the Spanish foreign policy towards Algeria through data collected in the "Database of Foreign Policy" (BDPEX), a new tool for the analysis of Spanish foreign relations developed by the Study Group on Arab and Muslim Societies (GRESAM) at the University of Castilla-La Mancha. The data show that energy interests have been the core issue in the bilateral agenda. The analysis of different BDPEX indicators also show that the more political issues, the Western Sahara conflict and the emergence of political Islam, have less weight than others topics, such as immigration and the fight against terrorism.

Der Landkreis Flensburg-Land wurde durch die preußische Verordnung vom 22. September 1867 gegründet. Zum neu gegründeten Landkreis gehörten zunächst das ehemalige Amt Flensburg mit seinen Gütern, die Stadt Flensburg, der Flecken Glücksburg, der geschlossene Erste Angler Güterdistrikt sowie die enklavierten zum St. Johanniskloster gehörenden Landstellen. Durch die Kreisordnung vom 26. Mai 1888 schied die Stadt Flensburg aus dem Landkreis aus und bildete von da an die kreisfreie Stadt Flensburg. Der Bestand gelangte im Wesentlichen zwischen 1920 und 1944 in das damalige Staatsarchiv Kiel. Durch die kriegsbedingte Auslagerung gab es nur unbedeutende Verluste. Im Jahr 1966 wurde der Bestand kontrolliert, neu geordnet und verzeichnet. Erst im Jahre 2007 wurde der Bestand durch einen größeren Archivalientausch mit dem Kreisarchiv Schleswig-Flensburg um weitere 150 Verzeichnungseinheiten ergänzt. Gleichzeitig wurden die bisher als eigener Bestand geführten Akten der Flensburger Kreisbahn neu nummeriert und in alter Reihenfolge in den Hauptbestand eingearbeitet
Drinkable Ink or Womb-Destroying Words?
Authors: Liebermann Rosanne
Published: July 2023

The biblical text of Numbers 5:11–31 describes a ritual designed to determine the guilt or innocence of a woman suspected of adultery: she must drink a mixture of water, dirt, and the ink of written curses given to her by a priest. This article analyses how the ritualized use of a material sacred text as described in Numbers 5:11–31 – and the ways it interacts with the bodies of the people involved – impacts the biblical construction of gender identities. Using concepts introduced by R. W. Connell, I argue that the ritual makes use of a material sacred text to reinforce a hegemonic masculine identity for the Israelite priesthood, while encouraging the complicit masculinity of laymen and the subjugated feminine identity of women. In doing so, the ritual of Numbers 5:11–31 bolsters the hierarchy of gender identities constructed by the book of Numbers and the Pentateuch more broadly.
“I Left My Bible At Home…”
Authors: Beckley Rachel E C
Published: July 2023

Evangelical affiliated periodicals serve as an important source to document how evangelical women coped with the absence of material markers of evangelicalism once they entered secular workplaces in the United States during the 1980s. In these affiliated periodicals, women writers legitimize their entry into the workforce with parable writing and storytelling that exemplify to their female readers how they can exhibit their evangelical identity and engage in evangelization by embodying motifs and narratives from the Bible. Theoretically, the article leans on Judith Butler and Karen Barad’s understandings of performativity, which is why the article asks: what acts did evangelical women engage in, how did affiliated periodicals intra-act with and thus have an effect on the construction of evangelical women’s identity, and how did these acts relate to the Bible? These questions are directed at evangelical affiliated periodicals from the 1980s, especially Shirley Schreiner Taylor’s parable “God Protects His Sheep among the Wolves” from the February 1989 issue of Word and Work.

Published: July 2023

produces a variety of bioactive compounds that prevent fungal growth, including aflatoxins. Aflatoxigenic fungi ( and ) are being researched concerning spp. and can prevent the spread of aflatoxins-producing fungi. Aflatoxin-degrading enzymes, which can convert poisonous aflatoxins into less dangerous compounds, are also produced by spp. The processes through which these microorganisms can be used to reduce aflatoxins in food and agricultural systems are still the subject of active research.

To evaluate the novelty of tetracycline against the biosynthesis of aflatoxin in aflatoxigenic fungi via computational approach.

In this study, we performed molecular docking of polyketide synthase (Pks-A), an enzyme that initiates aflatoxin biosynthesis using tetracycline, using the online SeamDock server.

Our results showed that tetracycline had a strong affinity for Pks-A in the binding pocket. The binding energy of tetracycline was -12.7 kcal/mol, indicating a strong binding affinity between the two molecules. Furthermore, the binding site was located in the active site, which is a conserved region in Pks-A and is essential for catalysing the formation of aflatoxin. The results of our docking study suggest that tetracycline may be an effective inhibitor of aflatoxin biosynthesis.

Authors: Marathe Anant Prabhakar , Tadvi Mayur , Mehta Vaidehi J
Published: July 2023

Hydatidosis is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus (Dog Tape-worm). India is endemic for hydatid disease. The lung is the second most frequently affected organ by hydatid cysts after the liver. Hydatid cysts are mostly seen in the right lower lobe of the lung. We report an unusual presentation of ruptured pulmonary hydatid cyst as empyema and haemothorax in a 24-year-old boy who presented with dyspnoea on exertion with right-sided chest pain. Pleural fluid was suggestive of empyema. The pleural fluid examination revealed plenty of neutrophils and the presence of hooklets of hydatid cyst. Ruptured hydatid cyst is clinically and radiologically confused with many diseases, especially lung cancer. Surgical removal of hydatid cyst is accepted as primary treatment. Thoracotomy was done to excise hydatid cyst. Albendazole was given post-surgery. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 6 with good respiratory capacity. During two months follow up the patient remained asymptomatic.

The Role of Animation in Consumers Attitude Formation: Based on the Tripartite Attitudinal Model
Authors: Dr. R.K. Sawlikar Mr. Sanjaya Kumar Padhy
Published: July 2023

This study examines the effects of animation and its relationship to cognitive and affective processes and conation responses by conducting an experimental study. The results of a multi-group confirmatory factor analysis comparing a low-involvement product type and high-involvement product type and in high- and low-involvement contexts revealed a significant group difference on each path regarding values of modification indexes. The study confirmed that the tripartite attitudinal model (for example, cognition, affection and conation) would more effectively work under the low-involvement product type in a highly involved group. This study significantly contributes to our understanding of the relationship between animated commercials and cognitive and affective processing. Animated commercials stimulate viewers or affect their emotional responses and behavioral expectations.

Published: July 2023

Wide-field magnetic imaging based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond has been shown the applicability in material and biological science. However, the spatial resolution is set to optical diffraction limit (>200 nm) because of the optical real-space localization and readout of NV centers. Here, we report the wide-field Fourier magnetic imaging technique to improve the spatial resolution to beyond the optical diffraction limit while the large field of view is kept. Our method relies on the widefield pulsed magnetic field gradient encoding to the NV spins and the Fourier transform under pixel related spatial filters. We show the improvement of spatial resolution of up to 20 times compared to the optical resolution and demonstrated the wide-field super-resolution magnetic imaging of a gradient magnetic field. This technique paves a way in efficient magnetic imaging for nanoscale fine structures with large dimension.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are reputable type of stem cells that has enchanted regenerative abilities and can be used to treat many chronic diseases. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a frequently diagnosed chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia which initiates many multisystem complications in the long-run. DM patients can benefit from MSCs transplantation to curb down the pathological consequences associated with hyperglycemia persistence and restore the function of damaged tissues. MSCs therapeutic outcomes are found to last for short period of time and ultimately these regenerative cells are eradicated and died in DM disease model. So it is necessary to investigate the impact of high glucose or hyperglycemia on the cellular and molecular characteristics of MSCs.
Materials and Methods: Human adipose tissue –derived MSCs (hAD-MSCs) were seeded in low (5.6 mmol/L of glucose) and high glucose (25 mmol/l of glucose) for 7 days. Cytotoxicity, viability, mitochondrial dynamics, and apoptosis were deplored using specific kits. Western blotting was performed to measure the protein expression of PI3K, TSC1, and mTOR in these cells.
Results: hAD-MSCs cultured in high glucose for 7 days demonstrated marked decrease in their viability. Mitcohondrial membrane potential and NAD+/NADH ratio were dropped in high glucose exposed hAD-MSCs indicating disturbed mitochondrial function. PI3K protein expression deceased in high glucose culture MSCs and it was coupled with upregulation in TSC 1 and downregulation in mTOR protein expression. Apoptosis was induced as a result of mitochondrial impairment and explained the poor survival of MSCs in high glucose.
Conclusion: high glucose impaired the mitochondrial dynamics and regulatory proteins in hAD-MSCs ensuing their poor survival and high apoptosis rate in hyperglycemic microenvironment.

Assessment plays a crucial role in the learning process and has a significant impact on students' understanding of tasks and their engagement. With the increasing popularity of e-learning, cognitive assessment methods are becoming more prevalent, and they can help develop students' High-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Thinking-Aloud Peer Assessment (TAPA) is one such method that enables students to provide feedback on their peers' assignments while articulating their thinking processes. This study aims to investigate the impact of TAPA on HOTS in elementary school students. The four-week TAPA method was used to assess the students' math lessons in e-learning. Pre- and post-tests using the Ricketts Critical Thinking Questionnaire and Cassidy and Long Problem-Solving Questionnaire were conducted to measure the method's effect on the student's HOTS. The questionnaires' reliability was calculated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, resulting in scores of 0.84 and 0.81, respectively. Data analysis involved an analysis of variance test, revealing a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in all questionnaire components. The results suggest that the TAPA method can positively impact the development of students' HOTS.

Abstract: The prediction of a stock market direction serves as an unseasonable recommendation of system for shortterm investors and before time financial distress warning system for long-term shareholders. Forecasting accuracy is the most important part in selecting any forecasting technique. Research efforts in upgrading the accuracy of forecasting models are increasing from the last decade. The appropriate stock selections those are fit for investment is a challenging task. The key factor for each investor is to be paid maximum profits on their investments. In this paper Support Vector Machine Algorithm (SVM) is handed down. SVM is a very specific kind of learning algorithms characterized by the volume control of the decision function, the work of the kernel functions and the scarcity of the compound. In this paper, we investigate the predictability of economic movement with SVM
