Authors: Alkhafaji Mahmud Abdullah Jasim
Published: December 2024

Background: Many food stores in Baghdad city suffered from a lack of the application of good hygiene practices and food safety standards in food handling that should be done regarding frozen food storage. The implementation of these standards and practices will promote the quality and safety of frozen food products and keep foods safe for consumption. Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate frozen food product samples collected randomly from different food stores in Baghdad. Methods: Twenty frozen food products were drawn randomly from food stores in Baghdad, and both sensorial and microbial characteristics were tested at the Laboratory of Microbiology of the Market Research and Consumer Protection Center according to the accredited Iraqi standard. Results: Obtained results demonstrated that tested samples were, on average, 22,2% non-conformity with the Iraqi standard of microbiological limits in food and 55% as average non-conformity in sensorial assessment. Discussion: A high percentage of selected frozen food products failed in both microbial and sensorial analysis, and this referred to a lack of food handling practices that food stores should follow. Conclusion: Many frozen food products offered in food stores in Baghdad city are made without the application of good hygiene practices and food safety standards that are essential for food handling in food stores.

Comparison of Biodegradable and Non-Biodegradable Waste Detection Algorithm using YOLO v7 vs Faster R-CNN for Auto Segregation
Authors: P. Ganesh
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a detailed comparative analysis of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste detection algorithms using YOLO v7 and Faster R-CNN, implemented for automated segregation on a Raspberry Pi platform integrated with a camera and a servo motor. The study aims to evaluate the performance of these state-of-the-art object detection models in terms of detection accuracy, processing speed, and computational efficiency in a real-time waste management system. YOLO v7, renowned for its rapid detection capabilities and lower computational demand, is compared against Faster R-CNN, which is recognized for its superior accuracy but higher computational cost. Experiments were conducted to assess the models' performance in identifying and classifying various waste types, and the results indicate a trade-off between speed and accuracy, with YOLO v7 providing faster detections suitable for real-time applications, while Faster R-CNN offers more precise detections at a slower pace. The integration of these algorithms with a servo motor facilitates accurate physical segregation of waste, showcasing the practical implications of each model's deployment in resource-constrained environments like the Raspberry Pi. This research highlights the potential and limitations of both algorithms, providing valuable insights for developing efficient and effective automated waste segregation systems.
Symptoms, causes, management and outcomes of hyponatraemia: a single centre study among hospitalised adult patients in Malaysia
Authors: Wong Jing Wen , Tan Jun Hui , Navindran Selavraju , Ong Edmund
Published: December 2024

Background

Hyponatraemia is a common electrolyte abnormality seen in medical admissions. To date, there is no hospital-wide local study on hyponatraemia across the young, middle and older age groups. We evaluated the clinical features, aetiology, and outcomes of patients admitted in a tertiary hospital when hyponatraemia was noted as part of initial investigations. We also reviewed the documented management, aiming to promote local guideline development for hyponatraemia.

Methods

A retrospective study based in Hospital Sultan Ismail (HSI) Johor Bahru was undertaken between January 2020 to December 2022 on adults admitted with a serum sodium (Na) level of <135mmol/L. Patients were identified through the electronic database.

Results

165 patients (mean age 64.4 ± 12.9, 52.6% females, 42.4% males) were diagnosed with mostly moderate or severe hyponatraemia. Severe hyponatraemia was significantly more prevalent among elderly patients (p= 0.002). Loss of appetite, generalised weakness and vomiting were the common presentations. 27.9% of patients were identified based on laboratory results without symptoms of hyponatraemia. The main causes of hyponatraemia were poor oral intake (20.6%), multifactorial (18.8%) and diarrhoea and vomiting (14.5%). Majority received 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) infusion. 18 patients (10.9%) have ≥10 mmol/L Na increment over the first day without complication. The overall mortality rate was 4.85% over 3 years.

Conclusions

Hyponatraemia may present with non-specific symptoms in hospitalised patients. Early recognition and management are required to avoid complications. Larger prospective studies to further explore the clinical profile of hyponatraemia among local patients will aid in protocol development to optimise patient outcome.

Analyzing the time-frequency impact of digital transformation on the improvement of service trade in Vietnam
Authors: Hung Ngo Thai , Vinh Dong Thanh , Dung Vu Ngoc , San Nguyen Trinh Linh
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the dynamic influence of digitalization (DG), gross domestic product (GDP), population (PO), and broad money supply (M2) on service trade (ST) in Vietnam from 1996 to 2022 using wavelet analysis and spectral Granger causality models. The results indicate that there is a positive nexus between variables during the sample period. While the relationship between broad money supply, population, and service trade is significant across different times and frequencies, the cases of ST-DG and ST-GDP are weak and insignificant at low frequencies. Moreover, Granger causality tests reveal that there exist bidirectional associations between the selected indicators. These findings suggest that Vietnam should focus on investment to enhance digitalization and expand the broad money supply, which would improve the service trade, attract foreign direct investment, and strengthen ties with other economies.

Published: December 2024

This investigation examines the essential elements that have shaped the competitive landscape of banks in ASEAN nations during non-economic crises, covering the years from 2010 to 2023. The S.GMM method and necessary tests are used to control regression results. We found empirical evidence that positive influencing factors included: the previous year's competitiveness had an impact of 0,27; the size of banks has an impact of 0,11; the size of equity has an impact at f 1,78; the profitability rate has an impact at 1,22; the growth rate of total assets has an impact of 0,014 on the competitiveness of banks. On the contrary, negative factors include factors such as the ratio of loans to total assets have an impact of -0,049; income diversification has an impact of-2,34; technological innovation or non-economic crisis to competitiveness. The authors also address the interaction between income diversification and technological innovation. Results show that these factors have a negative impact on the dependent variable during the research period. Based on the research results, we propose several implications with the expectation that they will provide useful strategies for enhancing competitiveness in the future, as well as add reliable empirical evidence to upcoming research.

Published: December 2024

Hysterectomy is one of the most common gynecological operations done worldwide. Early diagnosis of the psychosexual effects of a hysterectomy and the fast application of appropriate treatment can prevent further worsening and persistence of symptoms, especially with respect to higher levels of anxiety, depression, lower self-esteem, and sexual impact after a hysterectomy. The aim of this study was to assess the psychological and sexual problems of women with hysterectomy. A descriptive study was carried out from March 1, 2023 to May 25, 2023 to determine the level of psychosexual problems experienced by women after hysterectomy. A purposive (non-probability) sample of 120 women who visited the outpatient clinic at Baghdad Teaching Hospital and a private gynecological clinic was selected for the study. Data were collected using a constructed questionnaire and self-administration report process for each woman. The questionnaire was prepared by an investigator to achieve the objectives of the study, which consisted of two parts: the first part addressed demographic characteristics of women and the second part consisted of 32 items describing the psychosexual problems of women with hysterectomy. The validity of the questionnaire was determined by a panel of experts and reliability was assessed by using the statistically acceptable alpha correlation coefficient (r = 89) s. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis (frequency, percentage, mean, and mean score). The results of the study showed that women had moderate levels of anxiety, depression, and self-esteem, with the mean score being 2.33, 2.32, and 2.22, respectively, and had moderate levels of sexual problems, with the mean score being 2.39. The study concluded that psychological examination should be performed before women have a hysterectomy and support in coping after a hysterectomy is required to reduce the persistence of the psychological impact.

Analysis of Foreign Exchange Rate Volatility Based on the GARCH Model
Authors: Chen Weiyu
Published: December 2024

At present, the foreign exchange rate is still an important factor affecting international trade transactions. Since 1990, when the yen first broke through the 150 yen mark, the yen has been depreciating continuously. At the end of April 2024, the yen fell to 158 yen to a dollar. According to research, the Fed's interest rate hike policy has impacted the yen's plunge. This paper takes this event as the starting point. It uses the GARCH model to analyze the financial time series of the dollar-yen exchange rate, to explore its volatility law, to bring certain reference significance to China's monetary policymakers. According to the empirical analysis, this paper concludes that the GARCH (1,1) model can better capture the volatility characteristics of this sequence.

Authors: Moody Sophia , Lam Alan David , Parikh Nihir , Sherman Matthew , Krueger Chad
Published: December 2024

Background:

Although longer surgical times in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) are associated with higher complication rates, this has yet to be explored in conversion THA. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between surgical time and complications in the setting of conversion THA with implant removal. We aim to establish a length of surgery after which the risk of complications increases.

Methods:

This was a retrospective study conducted at a single institution. A total of 260 conversion THAs performed between 2015 and 2021 were included. An area under the curve (AUC) was constructed to determine a surgery time that increased the likelihood of complications. Logistic regressions were run to determine predictors for longer surgical times and complications.

Results:

The overall complication rate of conversion THA involving implant removal was 25.8% (67 patients). Surgical times greater than 114 minutes were found to be a predictor of complications (AUC: 0.700, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.630 to 0.771), with complications 6 times as likely in these cases (9.57% vs. 34.9%, P < 0.001). Regression analysis revealed that index implants of cephalomedullary nails (P < 0.001, odds ratio [OR]: 17.47) and dynamic hip screw plates (P < 0.001, OR: 10.9) were notable predictors of surgical times greater than 114 minutes along with higher body mass index (P = 0.005, OR: 1.10). Higher body mass index and surgical times greater than 114 minutes were also found to be predictors of complications (P = 0.035, OR: 0.93; P < 0.001, 6.37).

Conclusion:

Conversion THA cases involving implant removal that are longer than 114 minutes are associated with higher complication rates and revision surgeries. Conversion THA requiring implant removal of cephalomedullary nails or dynamic hip screw plates were predictors for longer surgical times. Improved surgical planning and perioperative patient optimization may be viable options to limit surgical times. This information can be used to counsel patients on the risk of complications and the possibility of a staged procedure if appropriate.

Post Traumatic growth is a positive change understand experienced by someone after experiencing any traumatic event. This study aims to recognaize how the description of post traumatic growth in women victims of domestic violence. The approach in this study uses a qualitative approach with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) analysis. The data collection techniques used in this study were in-depth interviews. Participants were two female victims of domestic violence and two Significant others (people closest to the participants). The results showed that there are two main themes, the first theme is domestic violence which contains the experience of violence and household dynamics, the impact of domestic violence, and the dynamics of divorce. The second theme is Post Traumatic growth which contains personal growth and meaning of life, support from the closest people, restoration of relationships with children and family, spirituality, involvement with the social environment, self-development, and obstacles in recovery. Researchers also found distinctive themes in participants, namely post-divorce economic independence and new relationships and hopes. This research is expected to be a reference for women victims of domestic violence to understand the potential for positive growth that can be achieved after facing traumatic events and provide inspiration for their self-recovery process.

Published: December 2024

Günümüz kuantum ağ yapısı mimari bakımdan klasik ağ yapıları referans alarak kurulmuştur. Fakat kuantum ağı oluşturan aygıtların parçacık kontrol mekanizmaları nedeniyle klasik aygıtlara göre daha maliyetlidir. Deneysel bir kuantum ağın gerçekleştirme maliyetini arttıran bu sebepten dolayı bir kuantum ağ kurmadan önce olurluk benzetimleri yapılmaktadır. Fakat kuantum dolaşıklığın mevcut benzetim yöntemlerindeki üstel artan veri depolama kapasitesi gerektirdiğinden dolayı güçlükler yaşanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada bu probleme bir çözüm olarak kuantum ağların deneysel olarak birden fazla klasik cihaz yardımıyla dağıtık benzetim kullanarak daha az maliyetli olarak nasıl gerçekleştirilebileceği önerilmektedir. Bu amaç için geliştirilen eklenti yazılımı ile farklı ağ senaryolarında elde edilen sonuçlar dağıtık benzetim modelinin mevcut modellere göre daha etkin olduğunu göstermektedir.

The main objective of this research was to examine the characteristics of the traditional justice delivery system utilized by the Harijan community in Rajshahi, Bangladesh, and to illustrate its status along with the roles of judicial services within this community. The study focused on a Harijan colony in Rajshahi district namely the I.D. (Infectious Disease) Ambagan Harijan Palli. A mixed-method approach was employed, which included a social survey involving 110 heads of households using a semi-structured questionnaire to gather quantitative data. Additionally, qualitative data were collected through 20 in-depth interviews (IDIs), 10 key informant interviews (KIIs), and 1 focus group discussion (FGD). The findings indicated that a significant number of Harijan individuals had never engaged with the court or judiciary system, revealing a biased role of the Panchayat or Samaj in maintaining law and order, as they were unable to safeguard the Harijan community from attacks by influential individuals and outsiders. Nevertheless, the results also indicated that many Harijan people expressed satisfaction with their traditional justice system. Furthermore, the study identified various barriers that hinder access to the formal justice system. These findings are expected to serve as a valuable resource for government officials, NGO leaders, legal practitioners, and development professionals.

Organized by the UNESCO Silk Roads Programme with the support of the Beijing International Peace Culture Foundation, this annual contest invites young photographers from around the globe to showcase their talent and delve into the rich heritage, history, and essence of the Silk Roads through their lenses.
The title «Silk Roads» invokes the extensive network of trade and communication routes that historically linked East, South, and Southeast Asia with Central Asia, the Russian Steppes, the Indian Subcontinent, the Iranian and Anatolian Plateaus, and the Arabian Peninsula. These routes extended into North and Northeast Africa and Europe, eventually reaching Western Europe and the Iberian Peninsula. They played a vital role in the movement of people and exchanging goods and ideas, fostering significant cross-cultural interactions that have profoundly influenced modern cultures, identities, and societies. The enduring impact of the Silk Roads has shaped shared legacies and diverse identities, promoting social unity, mutual respect, and greater understanding across various cultures.
This fifth edition, the Youth Eyes on the Silk Roads photo contest focused on the theme of ‘Architecture, Monuments, and Urbanism’, inviting participants to explore how the built environment along the Silk Roads reflects the cultural, historical, and innovative spirit results from the intercultural exchanges and interactions. Through their photographs, the young contestants captured a variety of architectural styles, historical landmarks, and urban landscapes, showcasing the interconnectedness of these sites and the shared heritage they signify. Their photos highlighted how ancient structures and modern metropolitan areas along the Silk Roads narrate the ongoing story of creativity, resilience, and cultural dialogue.
This album features 66 outstanding photographs from two age categories (14–17-year-olds and 18–25-year-olds) that best represent the contest’s themes and spirit. These images not only celebrate the shared heritage and legacy of the Silk Roads but also offer a glimpse into young people’s perceptions of how these elements influence contemporary life. It’s a celebration of our shared past and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Silk Roads in the modern era.
