Abstract
Following an application from Cárnicas Joselito S.A. pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 via the Competent Authority of Spain, the Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on the scientific substantiation of a health claim related to ‘Joselito ham increases antioxidant substances in the body, reduces blood pressure and plasma triglycerides, decreases oxidative stress and prevents effect in diseases related to the cardiovascular and intestinal systems’. The scope of the application was proposed to fall under a health claim referring to disease risk reduction. The food constituent that is the subject of the health claim is Joselito, an Iberian ham characterised by a high content of oleic acid. The Panel considers that the food is sufficiently characterised. The Panel considers that lowering of LDL‐cholesterol concentration and blood pressure is a beneficial effect by decreasing the risk of coronary heart disease. Upon a request from EFSA, the applicant identified one human intervention study as being pertinent to the claim. However, due to methodological limitations, the Panel considers that no conclusions can be drawn from this study for the scientific substantiation of the claim. The Panel notes that no human intervention studies from which conclusions could be drawn for the scientific substantiation of the claim were provided by the applicant. The Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the intake of Joselito® ham and the reduction of LDL‐cholesterol concentration or blood pressure.

Abstract EFSA requested its Scientific Committee to prepare a guidance document on appraising and integrating evidence from epidemiological studies for use in EFSA's scientific assessments. The guidance document provides an introduction to epidemiological studies and illustrates the typical biases, which may be present in different epidemiological study designs. It then describes key epidemiological concepts relevant for evidence appraisal. This includes brief explanations for measures of association, exposure assessment, statistical inference, systematic error and effect modification. The guidance then describes the concept of external validity and the principles of appraising epidemiological studies. The customisation of the study appraisal process is explained including tailoring of tools for assessing the risk of bias (RoB). Several examples of appraising experimental and observational studies using a RoB tool are annexed to the document to illustrate the application of the approach. The latter part of this guidance focuses on different steps of evidence integration, first within and then across different streams of evidence. With respect to risk characterisation, the guidance considers how evidence from human epidemiological studies can be used in dose–response modelling with several different options being presented. Finally, the guidance addresses the application of uncertainty factors in risk characterisation when using evidence from human epidemiological studies.

Abstract
The food enzyme β‐glucosidase (β‐D‐glucoside glucohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.21) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Penicillium guanacastense strain AE‐GLY by Amano Enzyme Inc. The food enzyme is intended to be used in four food manufacturing processes. Dietary exposure to the food enzyme‐total organic solids (TOS) was estimated to be up to 4.054 mg TOS/kg body weight (bw) per day in European populations. Genotoxicity tests did not raise a safety concern. The systemic toxicity was assessed by means of a repeated dose 90‐day oral toxicity study in rats. The Panel identified a no observed adverse effect level of 943 mg TOS/kg bw per day, the highest dose tested, which when compared with the estimated dietary exposure, resulted in a margin of exposure of at least 233. A search for the similarity of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens was made and no match was found. The Panel considered that the risk of allergic reactions by dietary exposure cannot be excluded, but the likelihood is low. Based on the data provided, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns under the intended conditions of use.

Contribution of remittances to Mexican household income and healthcare
Authors: Carrillo Gutierrez Linda Margarita , González Gómez Diana Xóchitl , Soto Alarcón Jozelin María
Published: July 2024

The article aims to analyze the participation of remittances in household income in Mexico in 2018 and 2020 and their role in healthcare during the pandemic by COVID-19. First, it examines the variation in the share of remittances in the income of Mexican households before and during the pandemic. Then, it analyzes the use of remittances in spending on health care. The statistical overview of household income and expenditure in the country is described with national survey data. Examining remittance dynamics in Mexican household incomes before and during the pandemic provides a valuable understanding of their relationship to healthcare. The results suggest that the increase in remittances was due to the weakening of other sources of income because of the economic contraction caused by the health crisis. In addition, these resources were used, to a considerable extent, to cover health and funeral expenses, which represented unexpected expenditures for households.
Justicia distributiva y posición social subjetiva: ¿la meritocracia justifica la desigualdad de ingresos?
Authors: Mac-Clure Oscar , Barozet Emmanuelle , Franetovic Gonzalo
Published: July 2024

Este artículo se refiere a la evaluación de los individuos acerca de la justicia distributiva en Chile. El objetivo consiste en examinar cómo la posición social subjetiva de las personas afecta su juicio respecto a sus propios ingresos y si este juicio descansa en la noción de mérito. Usamos datos provenientes de una encuesta basada en viñetas, para conocer las apreciaciones por parte de individuos de una muestra representativa de tres áreas urbanas. Los resultados muestran que entre los encuestados prevalece una evaluación de injusticia con respecto de sus ingresos, especialmente entre quienes se identifican como pertenecientes a un estrato social bajo o medio-bajo. Estas diferencias entre posiciones sociales subjetivas se hacen aún más fuertes cuando los individuos elaboran su juicio incluyendo un criterio meritocrático basado en el esfuerzo por educarse. Sin embargo, no se observan diferencias significativas en las evaluaciones de justicia al comparar entre posiciones sociales objetivas basadas en ingreso o educación. Nuestros hallazgos relevan la importancia de la posición social subjetiva en las evaluaciones que realizan las personas sobre la justicia distributiva.
Methods of Quantifying the Effect of External Events on Rental Product Revenue and Profit
Authors: Kim Miri , Nahm Jae Hyon , Han Chirok ,   Institute for Future Growth
Published: July 2024

This paper proposes a method to measure the impact of a specific event on sales and profits of rental products. We consider the unique sales system and profit structure of the rental service (including rental fees, mandatory usage periods, cancellation penalties, and maintenance costs) to define and calculate the impact of the event. We estimate the expected number of new contracts and cancellation rate in the absence of the event and analyze the impact of the event by comparing these estimates with the actual values. For our estimation, we employ dummy variable regression and generalized linear model regression.
Retention of Underrepresented Minority Undergraduates in STEM
Authors: Abramenko Alexander , Nadzan Megan
Published: July 2024

Far fewer undergraduate students pursue and complete STEM degrees compared to humanities degrees, despite high demand for STEM professionals. Among undergraduate STEM majors, individuals from underrepresented racial minority (URM) groups are far less likely to complete their degree than their White or Asian peers, presenting a serious obstacle to diversity within the STEM workforce. Drawing from Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory, researchers have identified factors that affect the retention of URM students in STEM, though there is substantial evidence that such factors are moderated by environmental influences not traditionally included in the theory. In this paper, we argue that many environmental influences can be conceptually unified under the State Authenticity as Fit to Environment (SAFE) model. Further, we review literature suggesting that the constructs of both Social Cognitive Theory and the SAFE model interact extensively when considering retention of URM undergraduates, arguing that understanding the interactions between the two models will provide a more complete picture of how retention of URM students can be improved.
Molecular Assessment of Genetic Diversity and Bottleneck in Hair Goat Reared in Türkiye
Authors: Cemal İbrahim , Ata Nezih , Yılmaz Onur , Karaca Orhan
Published: July 2024

Objective: Being the most preferred and geographically distributed in Türkiye, the Hair goat was screened at a molecular level to evaluate genetic diversity and population structure via microsatellite DNA markers. This paper also aimed to investigate the effects of genetic bottleneck to evaluate whether the Hair goat has maintained its effective population size in recent past.

Material and Methods: A total of 411 Hair goats were sampled from farms participating in the "Hair Goat Breeding" project, initiated by the General Directorate of Agricultural Research and Policies in Aydın and Denizli provinces. Sampled animals were genotyped with 18 microsatellite loci to assess genetic diversity, population structure, and genetic bottleneck.

Results: A total of 341 different alleles were observed across 18 microsatellite loci in which the highest number of alleles (26) and effective alleles (10.18) were detected in INRA005 and HSC loci, respectively. The average observed heterozygosity (0.73) was lower than the expected value (0.83), whereas all loci turned out to be highly informative (PIC>0.50). Factorial correspondence analysis separated animals into two groups, while a genetic admixture was detected between these groups. STRUCTURE analysis, on the other hand, confirmed that 411 animals were derived from three ancestral populations in which the third group is drawn due to admixed individuals. The Wilcoxon test and mode-shift indicator detected a lack of genetic bottleneck indicating that Hair goats reared in Türkiye have maintained their effective population size in recent past.

Conclusion: This study validates that used microsatellite markers are highly polymorphic and could be utilized for revealing genetic diversity in different local goat breeds. The findings recovered in this study could be integrated into breeding and conservation programs, while further studies should adopt SNP array technologies and next-generation sequencing platforms to reveal deeper knowledge about the genetic diversity and population structure of Anatolian goat breeds.

Objective: The current study investigated the impact of different N doses on growth traits of some sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) cultivars grown as second crop.
Materials and Methods: The experiment was conducted according to randomized complete block design with split-plot arrangements and three replications. Three sunflower cultivars (‘Bosfora’, ‘P64LE119’, and ‘LG5582’) and four N doses (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 kg ha-1 pure N) were included in the study and data relating to different growth traits were recorded.
Results: The results revealed that individual effects of cultivars and N doses exerted significant impacts on the studied growth traits, whereas their interactive effects were significant for some of the studied parameters. The earliest emergence duration was recorded under 150 and 200 kg ha-1 N. Similarly, the earliest head formation, flowering initiation and seed filling duration were recorded for ‘Bosfora’ cultivar with 200 kg ha-1 N.
Conclusion: The earliest physiological maturity was recorded for ‘P64LE119’ cultivar, whereas the widest head diameter and the highest head weight was noted for ‘LG5582’ cultivar under 200 kg ha-1 N application. Overall, ‘Bosfora’ cultivar under 200 kg ha-1 N application performed better for head formation, flowering initiation, and seed filling duration, whereas cultivar ‘LG5582’ under 200 kg ha-1 N application performed better for head diameter and head weight.It is recommended that cultivars ‘Bosfora’ and ‘LG5582’ should be provided 200 kg ha-1 N for better growth in southeastern Anatolia.

The increase in the number of manufacturing companies expanding in Indonesia recently is very potential seen from Indonesia as a developing country. A company's value is reflected in its share price, with a higher share price indicating greater financial success for its shareholders, a company's value refers to the present value of a company, which is determined by the anticipation of future cash inflows it may generate (Abidin, 2022). Stock price fluctuations are a direct manifestation of the effectiveness of company management. Investors and potential investors are careful in making investment choices because they carefully evaluate various facts (Besim, 2023). Signaling theory, describes the method a company uses to proactively communicate to investors about a company's future plans and strategies. Company signals are one of the ways signal theory is realized (Fauziah 2018). The study focused on eleven pharmaceutical companies engaged in the subsector, listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), during the period 2018 to 2022. The hypothesis was assessed in this study using Smart Partial Least Square (PLS) Version 4.0. The findings show that profitability and leverage have a positive influence on a company's value. In addition, the correlation between these two variables further increases when considering the size of the company.

Published: July 2024

Agricultural extension is undeniably very important for farmers in improving rice cultivation because it provides them with the information and activities needed to increase rice productivity and farmers' food independence. This study aims to analyze the level of competence of extension workers in improving food security. The competencies possessed by extension workers in this regard consist of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Food security in this study is examined from the aspects of availability, access, and safety quality. The research was conducted in Kuantan Singingi District, Riau Province, which has high rice production and adequate agricultural extension services for rice cultivation. The sample was selected using the purposive sampling method, resulting in fifty-eight extension workers being chosen. The Spearman Rank correlation test was used to assess the relationship between the competence of extension workers and food security in Kuantan Singingi Regency. The results reveal that all variables of the extension workers' competence (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) have a significant relationship with the food security of farmers, in terms of food availability, access, and safety quality. Extension workers indirectly play a crucial role in enhancing the food security of farmers’ households by sharing information and innovations that help improve rice production and overall household food security. Future researchers can develop sustainable, professional models and technology-based training modules to further improve the competence of extension workers.

Authors: Vinadé Renata , Marczak Sabrina
Published: July 2024

The World Health Organization has stated that disabilities are a natural part of the human experience and nearly everyone will experience temporary or permanent disabilities at some point in their lifetime. Approximately 1.3 billion individuals, which is roughly 16% of the global population, struggle with disabilities such as visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, learning, and neurological impairments. The quality of software depends on non-functional characteristics such as availability, maintenance, performance, reliability, scalability, security, and usability. Non-functional requirements are crucial for the success of software projects. In this context, accessibility plays a critical role in emphasizing the importance of non-functional requirements in software development. We conducted a survey of software development professionals to identify their understanding, awareness, and level of adopted practices in accessibility. Our study revealed the need for comprehensive accessibility curricula, accessible training programs, and better collaboration between academia, industry, government agencies and advocacy groups. By leveraging collective expertise and resources, stakeholders can work together to advance accessibility initiatives and address common challenges to develop accessible software. Establishing partnerships to share best practices, develop guidelines, and support organizations striving to improve accessibility in their products and services will create a more inclusive digital landscape.
Requisitos de Transparência para Engajamento de Desenvolvedores em Portais de Ecossistemas de Software
Authors: Parracho Thiago de Moura , Zacarias Rodrigo Oliveira , Sousa Henrique Prado de Sá , Santos Rodrigo Pereira dos
Published: July 2024

Os portais de ecossistemas de software (ECOS) são interfaces Web que permitem a um desenvolvedor participar, consumir informações e se comunicar com outros atores, em um ecossistema de software. Melhorar o engajamento dos desenvolvedores é uma preocupação importante para manter um ECOS sustentável no mercado ao longo do tempo. A Experiência de Desenvolvedor (DX, do inglês Developer eXperience) é uma qualidade importante, uma vez que experiências negativas durante a interação com o ECOS pode resultar no desengajamento do desenvolvedor. Dificuldades enfrentadas durante a interação com um portal de ECOS dificultam o engajamento e podem fazer com que os desenvolvedores abandonem o portal e, consequentemente, o ecossistema. Este trabalho apresenta um conjunto de 13 requisitos não funcionais (RNF) de transparência para portais de ECOS que são capazes de contribuir para o engajamento. Esses requisitos foram definidos com base em fatores que afetam o engajamento dos desenvolvedores nos portais de ECOS, especificamente em ECOS de código aberto e híbrido. Para isso, foram realizados dois estudos de caso com desenvolvedores iniciantes e foram realizados uma pesquisa de opinião e um estudo de campo com desenvolvedores do mercado. Todos os RNF elicitados puderam ser mapeados às subcaracterísticas do RNF de transparência da informação, o que denota a importante contribuição desta qualidade tanto para incrementar o grau de satisfação na DX, como, consequentemente, para o engajamento

Published: July 2024

This paper addresses the lack of methodological support for canvas model construction, focusing on the link between project planning and the Requirements Engineering process. To tackle this problem, we present MM4Canvas, a metamodel that provides a solid foundation for creating canvas models, facilitating structuring, standardization, and promoting the reuse of models in different projects. We conducted a proof of concept by applying the MM4Canvas metamodel to instantiate a general-purpose canvas model for projects, which, in turn, was extended to address the domain of IoT-critical systems with safety and security requirements. The goal is to demonstrate the reuse and extensibility properties promoted by the MM4Canvas metamodel and its instances.

Published: July 2024

O primeiro passo na construção de um bom produto de software é entender as necessidades das partes interessadas, tornando assim a engenharia de requisitos uma das etapas que requer mais atenção no ciclo de desenvolvimento de qualquer software, incluindo os sistemas multiagentes. Este tipo de software é composto por entidades autônomas e proativas, as quais são chamadas de agentes e que podem colaborar entre si para atingir um objetivo. Entretanto, os sistemas multiagentes possuem alguns requisitos em particular que normalmente não são encontrados em outros tipos de softwares, o que faz com que os métodos de levantamento destes requisitos também possuam características distintas. Levando isto em consideração, este trabalho apresenta uma nova técnica de elicitação que, desde o seu início, foi pensada para auxiliar o levantamento de requisitos para sistemas multiagentes. Esta nova técnica se baseia nos resultados obtidos por meio de um estudo prévio que buscou entender quais eram as principais técnicas utilizadas para elicitação de sistemas multiagentes e, principalmente, como estas diferentes técnicas são aplicadas.

Authors: Portugal Roxana L.Q. , Ville Juliana Delle , Antonelli Leandro
Published: July 2024

This paper explores the intersection between software development and journalism, highlighting the fundamental importance of implementing non-functional requirements to achieve a balance between immediacy and accuracy. In software development, requirements encompass user needs and demand precise and continuous updates to meet time-to-market demands. In journalism, audience engagement drives the need for precise news coverage, especially with the growth of artificial intelligence (AI). Non-functional requirements (NFRs) have gained relevance, emphasizing the need for effective balance. This work investigates the integration of technologies such as Named Entity Recognition (NER) and topic modeling into news updating processes as means to enhance both efficiency and precision. Additionally, this strategy, beneficial in requirements management and applicable across domains, is explored. The article is structured to delve into the imperatives of news writing, the proposed strategy, potential applications, and directions for future research.

Ademais, foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade com coordenadores dos cursos de graduação cujos cursos dispusessem de maior e menor pontuação para o quesito em tela nos registros do MEC. A pesquisa qualitativa de campo conjugada com a pesquisa documental foi a estratégia metodológica adotada. Entre os principais achados, destaca-se que a maior parte dos cursos avaliados possui boas condições de acessibilidade; contudo, as entrevistas revelaram que os agentes institucionais tentam promover a inclusão educacional de seus alunos, embora declarem existir incontáveis dificuldades ligadas à escassez de recursos disponíveis, bem como de infraestrutura e, sobretudo, questões atitudinais relacionadas ao baixo engajamento participativo subjetivo da comunidade nas políticas de acessibilidade da Universidade.
Issues of copyright protection of architectural works: Focused on the precedents for the last 5 years in Korea
Authors: Cha Sangyook ,   Korea Copyright Commission
Published: July 2024

This article analyzes major issues and conducts a critical review, focusing on precedents in the last five years related to architectural works. Among the attitudes of precedents related to (ⅰ) the clarity of the criteria for judging the copyrightability of architectural works or originality, (ⅱ) the justification or the rationality of the owner’s reservation of the right to use the design, etc. when dissolving the relationship of the architectural design contract, and (ⅲ) the appropriateness of the scope of the exercise of the right to request prohibition and abolition as a remedy for lawsuits for infringement of architectural works.
First of all, if you look at recent precedents, you can give a positive evaluation of the copyrightability of buildings or architectural design in that they are changing to actively judge architectural works or originality compared to previous precedents. However, in some areas, it seems necessary for the court to establish a consistent standard for judging originality as to whether or not the golf course design drawings are copyrighted.
Next, on the issue of (ⅱ) and (ⅲ), on the one hand, the two differ in the plane of existence in copyright law issues, but on the other hand, both eventually lead to the issue of whether the problematic infringing building can be demolished or the problematic building can be discarded.
And both are common in that the issue of whether or not rights are abused is raised. On the other hand, in the former, the issue of the architect’s implied permission or good faith as to whether or not to reserve the right to use, and in the latter, the balancing Interests in the stage of rights execution between the copyright holder and the infringer is a problem is particularly an issue. On these issues, it is expected that a number of refined and consistent precedents will be accumulated in the future. In the end, it can be evaluated that legal principles are still being created on these issues.
In short, this article is expected to contribute to securing an independent discipline area of the copyright law for the protection of architectural works by analyzing, critically reviewing, and organizing major issues in the copyright law and architectural academia, focusing on recent precedents.

Problemms: The implementation of EMIS is still not running optimally at the Tangerang Regency Ministry of Religion office for some operators at Islamic boarding schools in Tangerang Regency.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the implementation of the Education Management Information System (EMIS) at the Islamic boarding schools of Tangerang Ministry of Religion Affairs.
Methodologi: This research was a qualitative research. The data collection techniques were conducted by observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. This research consisted of 4 indicators, namely the human resources component by measuring internal factors consisting of attitude, skill, and knowledge, which the three benchmarks were sufficiently fulfilled.
Results/Findings: The human resources external factors with the first indicator of work tools had not been maximized.; the second, the supporting work resources included adequate funds and supporting infrastructure; the third was coworkers which were sufficiently well to be implemented. The hardware resources componets were still found to be not fully supportive and adequate. The software resources components, in terms of processes and computer programs that support EMIS, were sufficiently well implemented. Data resources in the implementation of EMIS were seen from 3 sub indicators, namely the data category, the timeliness of data collection, and the rules in the data collection process where the three elements were sufficiently well conducted by the EMIS operators. Supporting factors that support the implementation of EMIS consisted of the first, the role of the leaders by coordinating activities was sufficiently well implemented. Second, understanding of the EMIS program, the operators of the institution were sufficiently understood about EMIS inhibiting factors. The financing component had not been managed properly which had resulted in the existing funds not being used optimally to support the EMIS. Whereas in terms of operator quality, it can be seen from two elements, namely training and disciplinary institutions that were not yet sufficiently supportive, so that there was a need for improvements in education and training for EMIS operators in institutions, as well as in the discipline of institutions in presenting data collection results.
