Human Rights, Racism and Migration: A philosophical approach
Authors: Georgiadis Dimitris
Published: September 2023

Today, one in every 50 human beings is a migrant worker, a refugee, asylum seeker, or an immigrant living in a ‘foreign’ country. Current estimates by the United Nations and the International Organization for Migration indicate that some 150 million people live temporarily or permanently outside their countries of origin (2.5% of the world’s population). Many of these, 80-97 million, are estimated to be migrant workers and members of their families. Another 12 million are refugees outside their country of origin. These figures do not include the estimated 20 million Internally Displaced Persons forcibly, displaced within their own country, nor tens of millions of internal migrants, mainly rural to urban, in countries around the world. Throughout centuries, philosophers from Kant to Walzer have debated questions of freedom of movement, state coercion and belonging. As Agnes Woolley has argued, these issues are given a new urgency in the context of climate change and the crisis of global capitalism, requiring us to face them with a ‘planetary consciousness’. Increasing ethnic and racial diversity of societies is the inevitable consequence of migration. Increasing migration means that a growing number of States have become or are becoming more multi-ethnic and are confronted with the challenge of accommodating people of different cultures, races, religions, and languages. Addressing the reality of increased diversity means finding political, legal, social, and economic mechanisms to ensure mutual respect and to mediate relations across differences. But xenophobia and racism have become manifest/obvious in some societies which have received substantial numbers of immigrants, as workers or as asylum-seekers. In those countries the migrants have become the targets in internal disputes about national identity. In the last decade, the emergence of new nation states has often been accompanied by ethnic exclusion. Migration in the modern world raises some of the most pressing philosophical questions. Aim of this presentation is to present the relationship between Human Rights, Racism and Migration.

Published: September 2023

In the research of the world level we can see that the main issue of the problem of personality development is aimed at determining the types, indicators and criteria of development. In these research works, the authors propose various methodological tools for diagnosing personality maturity. Although foreign and Uzbek scientists have conducted research on the factors and problems that affect the psychological aspects of personal development, the relevant correlation between the level of person’s education attainment and acquiring a qualification and profession at different ages, the level of development in different periods of career activity and determinant of social intelligence has not been studied as an object of special scientific research. Hence, it is important to study and research the formation of new types of personality development in modern life, the manifestation and development of social intellectual activity of a person. The article construes an experimental study of the correlation of social intelligence with other types of intelligence in personality maturity. It presents the analysis of students' general and social intelligence indicators, as well as the psychological analysis of relationship indicators of female and male students’ social intelligence with other types of intelligence. According to the results of the research, the processes of social intelligence of students have more obvious correlations in relation to the progression of general intelligence, and they have been found to have differences according to the gender differences of the entity.
The Entrepreneurial Intention of Business Students: Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior and Theory of Reasoned Action
Authors: Dotong Emmanuel J. , Manalang Moses G.
Published: September 2023

The Philippines is an entrepreneurial country, with MSMEs constituting 99.6% of registered businesses, employing 62.80% of the working population. The number of registered businesses in the country is increasing, especially among young entrepreneurs. This study highlights the significance of attitudes, norms, and self-efficacy in shaping entrepreneurial aspirations among the youth in the Philippines. It examines the entrepreneurial intention of graduating students pursuing Accountancy, Management Accounting, and Customs Administration degrees at the Lyceum of the Philippines University-Manila. The research is anchored on the study of Lars Kolveried & Espen Isaksen, which incorporates the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) to develop hypotheses about attitudes toward entrepreneurship as a career and entrepreneurial intentions. Through Factor Analysis (Principal Axis Factoring), the researchers identified seven (7) factors that predict the intention to be self-employed: one (1) for attitude (Business than Career), two (2) for subjective norm (care about people's opinion and people's opinion), and four (4) for self-efficacy (Risk, Investor, Opportunity, and Economy). The findings suggest that factors such as attitudes toward entrepreneurship, subjective norms, and self-efficacy significantly impact students' intention to pursue self-employment. Notably, students who prioritize business over career, value other people's opinions, and possess greater self-efficacy in areas of risk, investment, opportunity, and the economy are more inclined towards self-employment. Conversely, factors such as extended academic tenure, managing cash flow concerns, and age negatively affect entrepreneurial intentions. Personal circumstances, including relationship status, location, employment status, and scholarships, can also influence students' likelihood of intending to be self-employed. Furthermore, market opportunities, investor relationships, and risk approaches positively influence students' entrepreneurial intentions.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: The prevalence of childhood NS worldwide is approximately 16 cases per 100,000 children, with an incidence of two to seven per 100,000 children. Primary causes of NS include minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, membranous nephropathy, genetic disorders, and secondary diseases associated with infections, drugs, and neoplasia; however, it can also be idiopathic.
Case presentation: A 14-year-old male toddler weighing 39 kg with a 1-week history of swelling around the eyes and both legs and generalized body swelling. On physical examination, swelling was found in both lower legs (pitting type). Laboratory investigations showed protein in urine and reduced serum albumin (2.0 g/dL) with elevated lipid levels. Although a kidney biopsy could not be performed due to the economic problem of the family, a diagnosis of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS) was made based on clinical and laboratory findings.
Conclusion: Nephrotic syndrome in children includes dietary adjustments, administration of diuretics to reduce edema, and administration of immunosuppressants such as steroids to induce remission.

Update of expert recommendations on Wilson’s disease management
Authors: Grodnikova O. V. , Yepifantseva Y. V. , Semenikhina P. S. , Kitova T. T. , Amangeldiyeva G. S.
Published: September 2023

Wilson's disease is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disorder of copper metabolism characterized by excessive copper build up in tissues, including brain and liver. The genetic defect localized at the 13q14 – q21 locus affects the gene for copper transporting protein ATP7B in the liver. This defect can be caused by deletions, insertions or missense mutations, leading to disruption of the copper incorporation into ceruloplasmin and the excretion of excess copper into bile. The disease is characterized by liver damage, neuropsychiatric symptoms, musculoskeletal, hematological and renal clinical signs, the presence of Kayser-Fleischer rings as well as many other possible symptoms, with their manifestation depending on the timeliness of diagnosis, stage and form of the disease, and therapeutic interventions.

Organizations investigating the problems of Wilson's disease regularly issue new recommendations as knowledge about the disease expands. Innovative diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are put into practice, and views on the course of the disease features change. The general updates of the latest international recommendations described in this article for their early introduction into practical healthcare relate to diagnostic algorithms, indications and the choice of timing and methods of drug treatment in various groups of patients with Wilson's disease, including a more complete review of neuropsychiatric care, as well as the possible tools for therapy monitoring.

Authors: Edin Alo , Haro Abdisa , Aliyi Mohammed , Hotessa Yimar , Ayele Angefa
Published: September 2023

Background: Breast self-examination is a simple and direct, non-invasive, and low-cost screening approach for breast cancer identification. Unlike in the Western world, women in Ethiopia frequently appear late for breast cancer screening and are expected to have a very short life expectancy. In Ethiopia, the majority of studies on breast self-examination practice were limited to university students and health care workers. As a result, there was a scarcity of evidence on the practice of breast self-examination, particularly at the community level. Thus, the current study was aimed to assess the magnitude of breast self-Examination practice and associated factors among reproductive age women in West Guji zone, Southern Ethiopia. Methods: A Community based Cross-sectional study was conducted from March 1 to April 30, 2021 among 424 randomly selected Women of reproductive age in the West Guji zone. The study participants were selected using multi-stage sampling. Data were collected using pre-tested and structured Questionnaires through face-to-face interviews. A bivariable and multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify the association between dependent and independent variables. P-Value <0.25 was used to select candidate variables for Multivariable logistic regression. A p-value <0.05 and an adjusted odds ratio with 95% CI were used to identify the independent predictors of Breast Self-Examination practice. Result: Overall breast self-examination practice was 14.6 % (95% CI, 11.4-18.4). Age [AOR=1.98; 95%CI (1.06-3.70)], monthly income [AOR=2.28; 95% CI (1.09-4.78)], and having a good knowledge of breast self-examination [AOR=2.15; 95%CI (1.14-4.05)] were statistically significant predictors and positively associated with Breast self-examination practice. Conclusion: This study revealed a substantial proportion of breast self-examination practice. As a result, stakeholders in various positions should make much more effort to promote women's education, as well as encourage and advocate breast self-examination practice.

Authors: Jadhav Dr. Amol Santosh Jadhav
Published: September 2023

Heavy metals generated mainly through many anthropogenic processes, and some natural processes have been a great environmental challenge and continued to be the concern of many researchers and environmental scientists. This is mainly due to their highest toxicity even at a minimum concentration as they are nonbiodegradable and can persist in the aquatic and terrestrial environments for long periods. Chromium ions, especially hexavalent ions (Cr(VI)) generated through the different industrial process such as tanneries, metallurgical, petroleum, refractory, oil well drilling, electroplating, mining, textile, pulp and paper industries, are among toxic heavy metal ions, which pose toxic effects to human, plants, microorganisms, and aquatic lives.The present study deals with isolation and molecular characterization of bacteria from alkaline lonar crater, having ability to survive and remediate the chromium. In the present study, 26 bacterial isolates were obtained from twelve samples of water, matt and sediment collected from Lonar Lake. Among these isolates, a well characterized isolate ASJ 21 was  subjected for molecular characterization on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequencing. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequencing, isolate ASJ 21 was identified as Lysinibacillus mangiferihumi. The chromium remediation ability of Lysinibacillus mangiferihumi was studied spectrophotometrically by using  Di-phenyl carbazide assay and the study revealed that the isolate Lysinibacillus mangiferihumi reduced 88% of chromium and rate reduction of chromium was found to be 0.916 µg/mL after 96h of incubation period, showing the ability of microorganisms to tolerate the chromium concentration at alkaline pH and potential to remediate and detoxify hexavalent Chromium (VI) to trivalent Chromium (III) as well.

Dokumen penting seperti kartu keluarga sering menjadi bahan pemalsuan. Maka dari itu kita harus mampu menjaga kerahasiaannya. Permasalahan ini bisa diatasi dengan metode watermarking. diambil oleh mesin dengan bentuk pendekatan berdasarkan sampling Watermarking adalah teknik yang dapat digunakan untuk menyisipkan informasi ke suatu citra. Citra digital merupakan representatif dari citra yang dan kuantisasi. Citra yang digunakan yaitu QR Code. Qr Code merupakan bentuk evolusi kode batang dari satu dimensi menjadi dua dimensi. Penelitian ini menggunakan Algoritma Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). Algoritma DTC menjalankan konversi dari bentuk spasial dengan tujuan untuk memisahkan gambar pada sub bagian dengan ftingkatan rekuensi berbeda-beda. Penerapan metode Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) dalam proses watermarking QR Code pada akta kelahiran telah berhasil memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan terhadap keamanan dan otentikasi dokumen tersebut. Dalam keseluruhan penerapan ini, DCT telah terbukti sebagai alat yang efektif dalam menyematkan informasi tambahan ke dalam gambar akta kelahiran tanpa mengorbankan integritas informasi utama. Namun, perlu diperhatikan bahwa penggunaan DCT juga dapat mempengaruhi kualitas visual gambar. Dengan demikian, penyesuaian parameter diperlukan untuk mencapai keseimbangan yang tepat antara keamanan dan estetika visual

การวิจัยครั้งนี้มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อศึกษาอิทธิพลของฟิลเตอร์ประกอบการจัดแสงที่มีผลต่อโทนผิวเพื่อใช้ในการผลิตภาพถ่ายโฆษณาสกินแคร์ ผู้วิจัยใช้ระเบียบวิธีวิจัยการทดลอง ถ่ายภาพนางแบบ 2 สีผิว คือ ผิวสีแทนและผิวสีขาวอมชมพู ซึ่งไม่ใช้ฟิลเตอร์ จำนวน 1 ภาพ และใช้ฟิลเตอร์สีจำนวน 20 สี ถ่ายภาพในสตูดิโอด้วยกล้อง DSLR ยี่ห้อ Canon รุ่น 700D เลนส์ 70-200 mm โดยควบคุมตัวแปร ได้แก่ คุณภาพแสง ตำแหน่งไฟ ขนาดภาพ รูรับแสง 8 เท่ากันทุกภาพ จากนั้นให้กลุ่มตัวอย่าง 30 คน ดูภาพผ่านจอมอนิเตอร์ ประเมินความกระจ่างใส/หมองคล้ำ และผิวนุ่มนวล/หยาบกร้าน ด้วยแบบสอบถาม

            ผลการวิจัย พบว่า การผลิตภาพถ่ายโฆษณาสกินแคร์ของนางแบบผิวสีแทนและผิวสีขาวอมชมพูเพื่อแสดงให้เห็นถึงความกระจ่างใสและนุ่มนวล การนำฟิลเตอร์มาใช้ในการจัดแสงไม่มีอิทธิพลต่อการทำให้รู้สึกถึงความกระจ่างใสและนุ่มนวลของนางแบบทั้ง 2 สีผิว ทั้งนี้ อาจเป็นเพราะว่าคุณภาพแสงที่ใช้ในการผลิตภาพถ่ายครั้งนี้เป็นแสงแข็งซึ่งทำให้ภาพสีผิวของนางแบบดูไม่นุ่มนวล แข็งกระด้าง นอกจากนั้น บริเวณผิวหน้ามีเงาสะท้อนมากเกินไป แตกต่างจากภาพถ่ายสกินแคร์ทั่วไปซึ่งนิยมใช้แสงนุ่มในการผลิตภาพถ่าย
Autorregulación en el ámbito del periodismo medioambiental en español
Authors: Monedero Morales Carmen del Rocío
Published: September 2023

En el ámbito de la comunicación social, los propios actores mediáticos vienen implementando herramientas deontológicas aplicables a la práctica profesional que van más allá de los mínimos estipulados por el ordenamiento jurídico. De este modo, empresas, profesionales, asociaciones, organizaciones no gubernamentales, la propia sociedad civil, y en menor medida la Academia, se involucran activamente en aras de una comunicación de calidad, en el caso que nos ocupara referida al medio ambiente. Entre los instrumentos deontológicos enmarcados en el concepto de autorregulación existentes, en la presente investigación nos centraremos en el análisis normativo de los códigos éticos de 2ª generación para informar sobre la naturaleza y el entorno a través del análisis de contenido de los mismos.
Mercados emergentes en tiempos de COVID-19
Authors: Pulgar Sánchez Karol Silvana , Rivera Poma Mauricio Fernando
Published: September 2023

Ante la crisis sanitaria global ocasionada por el virus SARS-CoV-2 los gobiernos implementaron medidas económicas, fiscales y monetarias. La velocidad de recuperación económica varía entre países, donde los mercados emergentes fueron más afectados en comparación con las economías avanzadas debido a la vulnerabilidad frente a shocks externos, la menor capacidad de endeudamiento, debilidad institucional, limitaciones en infraestructura tecnológica y en los sistemas sanitarios. El presente estudio analiza las transformaciones en los mercados emergentes y las compara con las economías avanzadas, a partir de indicadores clave como el producto interno bruto real, el saldo fiscal, el nivel de endeudamiento y la inflación. La metodología siguió un enfoque mixto, los resultados revelan que las políticas implementadas afectaron la producción nacional y provocaron una recesión económica en 2020 evidenciada en una mayor producción en los mercados emergentes que en las economías avanzadas. Además, los déficits fiscales se acentuaron debido al incremento del gasto público, pues muchos gobiernos recurrieron al endeudamiento como medida necesaria. Los mercados emergentes experimentaron un aumento en la deuda por la acumulación de deuda previa y la adquisición de nuevos préstamos. La inflación ha aumentado a medida que la actividad económica se reactiva, aunque se espera que esta tendencia sea transitoria. En última instancia, los mercados emergentes deben decidir si dirigen sus esfuerzos hacia la recuperación económica o hacia la reducción de los desequilibrios macroeconómicos. Esta decisión conlleva implicaciones a corto y largo plazo, y requiere un equilibrio cuidadoso para asegurar un crecimiento sostenible y la estabilidad económica futura.
Forecasting the equity premium: Do deep neural network models work?
Authors: Zhou Xianzheng , Zhou Hui , Long Huaigang
Published: September 2023

This paper constructs deep neural network (DNN) models for equity-premium forecasting. We compare the forecasting performance of DNN models with that of ordinary least squares (OLS) and historical average (HA) models. The DNN models robustly work best and significantly outperform both OLS and HA models in both in- and out-of-sample tests and asset allocation exercises. Specifically, DNN models generate monthly out-of-sample R2 of 3.42% and an annual utility gain of 2.99% for a mean-variance investor from 2011:1 to 2016:12. Moreover, the forecasting performance of DNN models is enhanced by adding additional 14 variables selected from finance literature.
Properties of returns and variance and the implications for time series modelling: Evidence from South Africa
Authors: Szczygielski Jan Jakub , Chipeta Chimwemwe
Published: September 2023

This paper investigates the properties of South African stock returns and the underlying variance. The investigation into the properties of stock returns and the behaviour of the variance underlying returns is undertaken using model-free approaches and through the application of ARCH/GARCH models. The results indicate that, as with other stock markets, returns on the South African stock market depart from normality and that variance displays evidence of heteroscedasticity, long memory, persistence, and asymmetry. Applying the EGARCH(p,q,m) and IGARCH(p,q) specifications confirms these findings and the application of these models suggests differing characteristics for variance structures underlying the South African stock market. In light of the findings relating to the properties of stock returns and the characteristics of variance and its structure, implications are outlined, and recommendations on how time-series specifications may be estimated are made.
