Published: January 2022

In the Egyptian banking industry, loan officers use pure judgment to make personal loan approval decisions. In this paper, we develop a new predictive method for default customers' loans using machine learning. The new predictive method uses the available personal data and historical credit data to evaluate the credit trust-worthiness of customers to obtain loans. We used the ABE dataset for training and testing, as we used 10 features from the application form and i- score report class that could give great help to credit officers for taking the right decision through avoiding customer selection using random techniques. The collected dataset was analysed by using various machine learning classifiers based on important selected features, to obtain high accuracy. We compared the performance of several machine learning classifiers before and after feature selection. We have found that in terms of high accuracy, the most important features are (activity – income – loan) and in terms of better performance the decision tree classifier has surpassed any other machine learning classifier with significant prediction accuracy of almost 94.85%.
The Legitimacy of The Marriage of Husband and Wife Who Are Converts to Islam and the Implications for Their Descendants
Authors: M Umar H.
Published: January 2022

Marriage in Indonesia has been regulated in laws and regulations that apply to all Indonesian people, namely the Marriage Law Number 1 of 1974.[1] In this Law as stated in Article 2 which reads that marriage is only valid, if it is carried out according to each religion and belief, then each marriage is recorded based on the applicable laws and regulations.

The Jambi Religious Court as the executor of judicial power in the Jambi Religious High Court area has received 2 (two)cases isbat/ marriage ratifications for non-Muslim husbands and wives to become converts to get legal certainty from marriage before embracing Islam, namely the case with Number 14/Pdt.P /2017/PA Jmb on 01 February 2017 and the case with Number 64/Pdt.P/2019/PA Jmb on 09 August 2019. The reason for converting husbands and wives to submit isbat/ marriage ratification is because marriage before embracing Islam does not have a certificate marriage from the Civil Registry Office. So that the husband and wife of the converts filed a case isbat/ marriage ratification to the Jambi Religious Court to ask for the validity of their marriage.

The Jambi Religious Court judge who tried the case, in his decision, granted the request and declared the marriage of a husband and wife to be converts to Islam without advocating remarriage. Even though the marital status of a non-Muslim husband and wife when they converted to Islam, the scholars were still debating until they were divided into two groups.

O estudo das pressões que o produto armazenado exerce nas paredes do silo é um fator relevante, o presente trabalho possui o objetivo de determinar, empírica e experimentalmente, as pressões de carregamento e descarregamento ao longo da seção circular do silo vertical metálico exercidas pelo produto armazenado e a influência do tempo de consolidação. Para a determinação das pressões horizontais e de atrito, foram utilizados dispositivos compostos por pares de células de carga, fixados a seções quadradas do silo da parede lisa do silo com 2,5 m de altura de corpo e 0,64 m de diâmetro interno e tremonha com 0,51 m de altura e inclinação de aproximadamente 60° com a horizontal, confeccionados em aço liso com 1 mm de espessura. Os ensaios de carregamento e descarregamento do milho foram em quintuplicata, sendo adotados três tempos de consolidação sendo estes de 6, 12 e 24 horas. As pressões determinadas experimentalmente foram comparadas aos valores encontrados á partir das equações contidas nas normas AS 3774 (1990) e BS EN 1991/4 (2006). Foi evidenciado que os dados experimentais de pressão horizontal durante o carregamento foram sempre inferiores aos normatizados, tendo em vista que as normas majoram os valores devido a utilização de coeficientes de segurança e embora realizado os cálculos com a subtração deste coeficiente, não foi observado interferência dos tempos de consolidação analisados nas pressões.

Published: January 2022

Piezoelectric energy harvesting is the process of extracting electrical energy using energy harvester devices. Any stress in the piezoelectric material will generate induced voltage. Previous energy harvester device with stiff cantilever beam was generated low harvested energy. A flexural piezoelectric energy harvester is proposed to improve the generated harvesting energy. Polyvinylidene difluoride is a polymer piezoelectric material attached to a flexible circuit made of polyimide. Four interdigitated electrode circuits were designed and outsourced for fabrication. The polyvinylidene difluoride was then attached to the interdigitated electrode circuit, and a single clear adhesive tape was used to bind them. Four piezoelectric energy harvesters and ultrasonic ceramic generators were experimentally tested using a sieve shaker. The sieve shaker contains a two-speed oscillator, with M1=0.025 m/s and M2=0.05 m/s. It was used to oscillate the energy harvester devices. The resulting induced voltages were then measured. Design 4, with the widest width of electrode fingers and the widest gap between electrode fingers, had the highest power generated at an output load of 0.745 µW with the M2 oscillation speed. The oscillation speed of the sieve shaker impacted the energy harvester devices as a higher oscillation speed gave higher generated power.

Authors: Wan Husain Wan Salfarina , Wan Shamsuddin Syadiah Nor , Rahim Normala
Published: January 2022

Road accidents among children are one of the factors that cause mortality. An interactive manual has been developed to solve the problem. However, reports show that most road safety programs are displayed conventionally and unsuitable for almost all target users. In order to minimise the negative effect of road accidents on primary school students, early prevention programs need to be set up to overcome the problem. The natural user interface is a current technology that could be implemented in road safety education. Thus, this research aims to develop a conceptual framework by integrating gesture-based interaction and serious games towards road safety education, which will hopefully meet the road safety syllabus to tackle primary school students. All the proposed conceptual framework elements are identified through a systematic literature review and existing theories and model analysis supported by the experts’ review. This research’s main finding will be a conceptual framework of user engagement in road safety education through serious games with a gesture-based interaction technology approach. This conceptual framework would be a reference for road safety designers or developers to build an application for road safety by considering user engagement through gesture-based interaction, learning theory, and serious games at the same time.

Published: January 2022

Arabic handwriting is slightly different from the handwriting of other languages; hence it is possible to distinguish the handwriting written by the native or non-native writer based on their handwriting. However, classifying Arabic handwriting is challenging using traditional text recognition algorithms. Thus, this study evaluated and validated the utilisation of deep transfer learning models to overcome such issues. Hence, seven types of deep learning transfer models, namely the AlexNet, GoogleNet, ResNet18, ResNet50, ResNet101, VGG16, and VGG19, were used to determine the most suitable model for classifying the handwritten images written by the native or non-native. Two datasets comprised of Arabic handwriting images were used to evaluate and validate the newly developed deep learning models used to classify each model’s output as either native or foreign (non-native) writers. The training and validation sets were conducted using both original and augmented datasets. Results showed that the highest accuracy is using the GoogleNet deep learning model for both normal and augmented datasets, with the highest accuracy attained as 93.2% using normal data and 95.5% using augmented data in classifying the native handwriting.

Published: January 2022

In modern science and practice, public-private partnership is the interaction of the public and private sectors: in a broader sense, any cooperation in various spheres of public life, supporting society with entrepreneurship and strengthening its social role. The intensification of the process of public-private partnership development is due to the steady growth of demand for public services and increased attention of a wide range of people to optimise their provision. Today, public-private partnership has become an important tool for attracting investment to create a modern public service infrastructure. The purpose of this study is to examine possible strategies for the development of public-private partnerships in the context of decentralisation. The methodological basis of the presented research is a combination of theoretical methods: information synthesis and analysis, classification, systematisation. In addition, an analysis of the scientific literature on the research subject was conducted during the study. In particular, articles on public-private partnerships were analysed. As a result of the study, the general trend towards decentralisation of power and reform of local self-government was established, which means transferring more powers to local state structures, where the state, represented by a territorial community, becomes one of the main subjects. It is proved that partnerships between local communities and business structures, including foreign ones, considerably expand the competence of local authorities, in particular, attract investment in the development of urban infrastructure. Based on the analysis of European experience and considering the specific features of Ukrainian legislation, the most acceptable forms of cooperation between the state and companies were identified: private partnership investment agreements, asset management agreements, leases, concessions, and joint venture agreements. The practical value of the study is that the highlighted results will be useful for public and private sector managers

Authors: Skliarov Pavlo , Fedorenko Serhiy , Naumenko Svitlana , Koshevoy Vsevolod , Pelyh Kateryna
Published: January 2022

Modern conditions of practical veterinary medicine require the use of effective and safe drugs. Along with the already known and common medicines, the search for new drugs which are harmless for the body and have the physiological direction of action is still required. In recent years, the attention to the use of phyto- and tissue-derived drugs increased. However, the problem of their use is insufficiently studied – many aspects of their clinical use require further development, expansion of the spectrum of used medicinal plants, study, and implementation into veterinary practice. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to develop a comprehensive vitamin-hormone drugs based on phyto- and tissue medicines for the treatment and prevention of reproductive abnormalities in animals. Based on the information on the etiopathogenesis of disorders of reproductive function indicators: homeostasis, reducing of the concentration of hormones (estrogen or progesterone), changes in the morphofunctional state of endocrine (pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal gland) and reproductive (ovaries) organs, the application of vitamin-hormone drugs in veterinary medicine is scientifically sound. Drugs in terms of pathogenetic therapy can optimise homeostasis, hormone concentrations, stimulate rehabilitation processes in the regulatory organs of reproductive function (pituitary, adrenal, and thyroid) and reproductive organs (ovaries), which, in turn, contributes to the normalisation of follicles which are a prerequisite for the full reproductive capacity of females. Vitamin-hormonal medicines of herbal and tissue origin were developed, with high efficiency for the treatment and prevention of reproductive pathologies of various species of animals, providing the stimulation of reproductive function (estrus signs) for therapy of females with gonadopathies (“Carafest”, “Caplaestrol” and “Caplagonìn”) and males (display of sexual reflexes and sperm quality) for reproductive activity dysfunction (“Carafand”), increase in the viability of the newborn (increasing the number of lambs and goatlings with satisfactory clinical condition with a high-growth potential, reduce in their morbidity and lethality), preventing the incidence of ìntra- and postnatal (labor hypofunction, diseases of post-labor period) pathology (“Carafest”, and “Caplaestrol”)

Authors: Gamajunova Valentina , Khonenko Lubov , Iskakova Oksana
Published: January 2022

Potatoes are an extremely important crop for the nutrition of the population in Ukraine. Its potential is high-up to 100 t/ha of tubers, but the average yield reaches 14-16 t/ha. To obtain significantly higher productivity, it is necessary to improve the main elements of cultivation technology. The main factor of potato production on drip irrigation is the optimisation of plant nutrition, which the authors have taken to study with three varieties of early maturing potatoes. Studies have established that providing plants with nutrients with the selection of varieties can increase the productivity of tubers up to 37-39 t/ha, or increase its level compared to the control to 64.7%. It was determined that the maximum yield is provided by the main application from autumn N32P32K32, before planting N48P48K48 and carrying out three top dressings during the growing season simultaneously with watering with a total rate of N33 and Plantafol 6 kg/ha, starting from the beginning of budding with an interval of 8-10 days. At the same time, tubers are formed with high-quality indicators as they contain a sufficient number of dry substances, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and starch. It should be noted that when optimising nutrition, the intake of all the main indicators of potato tubers compared to the control slightly decreased, namely dry substances and starch. On the contrary, the amount of ascorbic acid increased, especially with top dressing with Plantafol. Varietal features regarding the impact on the quality of tubers are also determined. Significantly more dry substances were found in tubers of the Riviera and Prada varieties, and more starch content was found in Prada and Minerva varieties. Slightly less dry matter and ascorbic acid were detected in Minerva potato tubers compared to other varieties. From the grown crop of tubers of the studied potato varieties, it is possible to obtain up to 4.0 t/ha of bioethanol or alcohol if they are processed

Published: January 2022

The conducted research of various authors has developed a number of measures for surface improvement of meadowland in various soil and climatic conditions. However, studies on the influence of such surface improvement measures as the use of organic and mineral fertilizers and sowing of perennial grasses and legumes in the sod on the dynamics of the species composition of Floodplain Mountain meadows of the Carpathians have not yet been conducted, which confirms the relevance of this study. The article presents the results of three-year studies conducted during 2017-2019 in the peasant farm of V.F. Martyshchuk (the Verkhovinsky District of the Ivano-Frankivsk region) to study the features of transformation of the species composition of natural phytocenoses of floodplain Meadows of the Black Cheremosh river of the mountain and forest belt of the Carpathians under the influence of their surface improvement with the use of organic and mineral fertilizers and sowing of a cereal mixture for haymaking use and Tribolium repens L. for multipurpose use. It was found that floodplain Meadow phytocenoses were mainly cereals and mixed grasses with a share of wild cereals of 57-58% (up to 15 of them % Festuca rubra L. s. str. and 5-6% of low-value ones in feed terms Calamagrostis arundinaceae (L.) Roth and Deschampsia caespitosa (L.) Beauv.), mixed grasses – 35-38% and unseeded Fabaceae 5-7%. When applying a set of measures for surface improvement of cereals and mixed grasses, low productive (within 1.95-2.15 t/ha of dry weight) floodplain mountain meadowlands, their species composition improved. For making P30K60 the content of wild plants increased by 2-5% Fabaceae, and N60P30K60 – by 9-10% unseeded Poaceae. For haymaking use, Poaceae with Phleum pratense L. and Festuca pratensis Huds. against the background of making N60P30K60 for sowing a mixture in the sod in the spring, their share increased to 74%, and for multi-year use and sowing Trifolium repens L. against the background of making P30K60 the quantity of Fabaceae increased to 44% or by 32%. The highest floral saturation (43 species from 19 families and 93-98% from perennials) was observed in variants without fertilization and with the introduction of P30K60 for multi-year use, which is 4-14 species more compared to haymaking use, or with the introduction of N60P30K60 and or with sowing a mixture of cereals on the background of N60P30K60 for haymaking use, or sowing Trifolium repens L. against the background of P30K60 for multipurpose use

The paper presents the results of research on the degradation of chernozems in part of the Proszowice lobe (near Pińczów). The currently progressing process of degradation of chernozems is showed in the decline of their physical and chemical properties (among others increased predisposition to soaking, changes in the content of organic carbon and nitrogen). The results were analyzed in the context of changes in the technology of farming. For the analysis, samples from areas with different types of use and different history of use (including archaeological sites) were collected. A significant decline of soil properties was found. They were expressed by destruction of the soil structure of humus horizon. It starts increase in the susceptibility of the soil clumping, soaking and erosion. The humus contents in researched samples are low (as content for Chernozem), but there is no different in this parameter determined half century ago. Currently, low values of the C/N coefficient indicate the impact of mineral fertilization (increasing the nitrogen content) and are part of the anthropogenic degradation of the analyzed Chernozems.

Published: January 2022

If we throw light on the history of the libraries in India, and then one main fact comes to light that the history of the libraries in India is a thousand of years old. The development of libraries in India can be divided in to Ancient Period, Middle Period, Mughal Period and Modern Period. Libraries existed those days when education was concentrated in Gurukul. Those days Guru was like a moving Library and they had unlimited store of knowledge. Over time, writing and ink began to be used and texts were also produced. In ancient times, handwritten texts were wrapped in cloth and leaf blisters because the art of printing was not invented at that time, But with the time the art of printing was invented and texts started to be printed and libraries came in to existence. The demolition of ancient cities which have been obtained by excavation is a proof that libraries existed in ancient times as well. Nalanda University established in ancient time had a three story Library Building called Ratnodadhi, Ratnasagar and Ratnaranjak. Similarly, temples and monasteries also had their own libraries which used to support religious and educational institutions. Father of Library Science Dr. S.R.Ranganathan who was presented the five laws of Library Science, his untiring efforts resulted in unlimited growth/development in the field of Library Science and the Library received a new direction and helped to give scientific form to the Library Service.

Published: January 2022

Blockchain technology is the most precise system to track a gun flow from manufacture to end-user. By creating a global database that cannot be altered once recorded, this database could primarily record every transaction and purchase. In this technology we provide a simple solution of how the transfer of guns can take place between the dealer and the seller using digital signatures and a gun safe just like a bitcoin (BTC) wallet which stores each and every information about an individual securely and it helps in identifying whether a person who has a weapon holds an original arms license or has a fake one and also check whether that person has a previous criminal record on his name. Since blockchain is immutable and hack proof, this technology can be used to get rid of the above claims, to improve the ownership and traceability of the weapon and to keep the records securely inside the digital world.
AOTA–NBCOT® Joint Initiative: Developing the Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact
Authors: Willmarth Chuck , Conway Shaun
Published: January 2022

This article explains the need for a licensure compact in the occupational therapy profession and describes the joint American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT®) initiative to develop and implement the compact. Despite uniformity in occupational therapy licensure laws across the states, the ability to obtain and maintain licenses in multiple jurisdictions remains complicated and time consuming. Occupational therapy practitioners will benefit from an improvement to the existing state licensure system that would allow them to obtain a privilege to practice in multiple states through an interstate licensure compact. The licensure compact will be implemented by a commission composed of state regulators from each participating state. In September 2019, AOTA and NBCOT issued a joint statement announcing that the two organizations would be collaborating to support the development of an interstate licensure compact for occupational therapy. This article highlights the need for the Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact, the process used to develop the compact’s language, and the state legislative progress made to date. It also outlines the next steps needed to advance Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact legislation as well as efforts needed to operationalize the Occupational Therapy Compact Commission.

Objectives:

We planned this study to assess the prevalence of anxiety and depression in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and its correlation with quality of life (QOL) in these patients.

Material and methods

Eighty-eight patients (76 females) were included in this cross-sectional study. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to assess anxiety and depression. Quality of life was measured using the World Health Organization WHOQOL-BREF. The severity of pain was measured by 100-millimetre-long Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and functional disability was measured by using the Indian version of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). The disease activity was measured by Disease Activity Score for 28 joints with 3 variables.

Results

Probable anxiety and depression were seen in 61 (69%) and 68 (77%) of the patients, respectively. Patients with anxiety had more severe pain (VAS 53.8 ±26.4 vs. 39.7 ±26.1, p < 0.05), and significantly lower scores in all the 4 domains of the WHOQOL-BREF. Patients with depression had more pain (VAS 54.2 ±25.2 vs. 33.5 ±27.3, p < 0.01), higher HAQ scores (1.0 ±0.7 vs. 0.5 ±0.7, p < 0.01), and lower QOL scores. Both anxiety and depression scores had a negative correlation with all the 4 domains of the WHOQOL-BREF. Anxiety had a significant negative effect on psychological (β = –0.58, p < 0.001) and environmental domains (β = –0.39, p < 0.001), while depression had a significant negative effect on psychological (β = –0.57, p < 0.001) and environmental domains (β = –0.53, p < 0.001). Both anxiety and depression predicted more pain in RA patients (β = 0.24, p < 0.001 and β = 0.44, p < 0.001, respectively).

Conclusions

Anxiety and depression correlated with poor QOL in all 4 domains of the WHOQOL-BREF. Higher HADS scores had a negative effect on all the domains of the WHOQOL-BREF and predicted more severe pain in RA patients. Thus, patients with RA need to be screened and treated for underlying anxiety and depression to improve their QOL, pain, and functional status.

The hospital is a health institution that is engaged in services. The quality of a service will encourage consumers to form strong bonds with the company. If the service received exceeds consumer expectations, service quality is perceived as ideal quality. Conversely, if the service received is lower than expected, the quality of the service is perceived as poor. Thus, whether the quality of service is good or not depends on the ability of service providers to consistently meet consumer expectations. This study aims to measure the service quality of the Clinical Pathology Laboratory Installation of RSUP Sarjito Yogyakarta using the Servqual Method.

      The subjects of this study were consumers of the Clinical Pathology Laboratory Installation of the Sarjito Hospital Yogyakarta, while the object of this study was the quality of service for the Clinical Pathology Laboratory Installation of the Sarjito Hospital Yogyakarta.

Đặt vấn đề: Rối loạn chức năng đại tiện sau phẫu thuật là vấn đề thách thức ảnh hưởng nhiều đến chất lượng sống của bệnh nhân sau phẫu thuật. Mục đích nghiên cứu nhắm đánh giá chức năng đại tiện của bệnh nhân sau phẫu thuật nội soi cắt trực tràng trước thấp. Phương pháp nghiên cứu: Nghiên cứu mô tả tiến cứu trên 82 bệnh nhân ung thư trực tràng được phẫu thuật nội soi cắt trước thấp từ tháng 7/2018 đến 7/2020. Đánh giá theo thang điểm Hội chứng cắt trước thấp (LARS) và Wexner tại thời điểm 3 tháng, 6 tháng và 12 tháng. Kết quả: tuổi trung bình 62,3 tuổi, có 65,9% nam và 34,1% nữ. Chức năng đại tiện thay đổi rõ rệt sau 1 năm: điểm trung bình LARS sau 3 tháng, 6 tháng và 12 tháng lần lượt là 17,6; 14,0 và 10,6. Trong đó 56,1% bệnh nhân không có LARS sau 3 tháng tăng lên 75,6% sau 12 tháng. Tỷ lệ bệnh nhân LARS nặng sau 3 tháng 26,8% giảm còn 14,6% sau 12 tháng. Điểm Wexner: sau 3 tháng là 5,9 giảm còn 3,4 sau 12 tháng. Tỷ lệ bệnh nhân đại tiện bình thường sau 3 tháng 28,0% tăng lên 46,3% sau 12 tháng. Sau 3 tháng có 11,0% bệnh nhân mất tự chủ hoàn toàn giảm còn 7,3% sau 12 tháng. Các yếu tố: hóa xạ trị tiền phẫu (p=0,017), vị trí khối u (p=0,02) và phương pháp thực hiện miệng nối (p=0,01), vị trí miệng nối (p=0,000) có liên quan đến mức độ LARS nặng sau phẫu thuật. Kết luận: Rối loạn chức năng đại tiện ở nhóm bệnh nhân ung thư trực tràng được phẫu thuật nội soi cắt trước thấp là vấn đề thường gặp và kéo dài sau phẫu thuật, chức năng đại tiện sẽ được phục hồi dần theo thời gian. Cần theo dõi, tư vấn và hỗ trợ giúp cho bệnh nhân để cải thiện chất lượng sống tốt hơn.
