Published: November 2024

A significant issue in the application of simulation tools in production processes is the difficulty in effectively integrating these tools into existing logistics systems, which often leads to underutilization and suboptimal performance. According to a study by McKinsey & Company (2017), only 17% of companies have successfully integrated advanced simulation tools into their logistics processes, resulting in considerable inefficiencies. Additionally, a report by Gartner (2020) highlighted that 55% of organizations face significant challenges in aligning simulation technologies with their operational workflows, often due to a lack of expertise and inadequate technological infrastructure. This document provides a qualitative analysis to present a current overview of the application areas and benefits of simulation tools in intralogistics processes through a systematic literature review of 108 articles published between 2011 and 2023. The primary focus to explore is about operational warehouses processes, examining applications by country, knowledge area, simulation tool type, practical or theoretical application and implementation challenges of simulation.

Published: November 2024

Background: Infertility is a sensitive global issue, characterized by a couple's inability to conceive or maintain a pregnancy. Infertility is classified into two types: primary infertility, where a couple has never achieved pregnancy, and secondary infertility, where a couple cannot conceive or maintain a pregnancy after engaging in unprotected intercourse. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life among men and women diagnosed with infertility in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Methodology: The study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted in outpatient clinics in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with a sample of infertile individuals (n=377). Quality of life among infertile couples was assessed using the standardized FERTIQOL instrument, with additional variables relevant to the study context. Results: The results showed that the average quality of life score for infertile couples was 63.84 out of a possible 120. According to the FERTIQOL assessment, the emotional wellbeing score was low at 14.29, and the mind-body score was also poor at 15.49. The relational score, at 18, was considered average, while the social domain score of 16.05 indicated a poor quality of life. The study also examined associations between quality of life and various sociodemographic factors, including age, gender, education, income, and type of infertility. Although most of these variables were not statistically significant, gender and education were found to be significantly associated with quality of life, with p-values of 0.00 and 0.16, respectively. Conclusion: Based on these findings, it can be concluded that infertile couples experience a low quality of life.
Assessing the Fiscal Burden of Overweight and Obesity in Japan through Application of a Public Economic Framework
Authors: Igarashi Ataru , Copeland Cillian , Kotsopoulos Nikos , Ota Riku , Capucci Silvia , Adachi Daisuke
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Obesity continues to represent a significant public health concern, with a broad impact from both a health and economic perspective. Objective: This analysis assesses the fiscal consequences of overweight and obesity (OAO) in Japan by capturing obesity-attributable lost tax revenue and increased government transfers using a government perspective. Methods: The fiscal burden of OAO was estimated using an age-specific prevalence model, which tracked the Japanese population across different body mass index (BMI) categories. The model was populated with fiscal data for Japan, including employment activity and government spending, to calculate tax revenue and transfer costs. A targeted literature review was conducted to identify data estimating the impact of OAO on employment, income, sick leave, retirement, and mortality. These modifiers were applied to Japanese epidemiological and fiscal projections to calculate government tax revenue and spending. The incremental impact of reducing OAO in the general population was subsequently calculated. Results were estimated based on the 2023 Japanese working-age population aged 18 to 70 years. Results: The total fiscal burden of OAO in Japan, defined as BMI of at least 25, is estimated at US $13.41 billion (¥1925 billion), representing 0.4% of Japan’s gross domestic product. This consists of a loss of $6.3 billion (¥901 billion) and $1.2 billion (¥179 billion) in direct and indirect tax revenue, respectively, due to lower employment and income combined with higher sick leave. Excess OAO-attributable healthcare costs were $5.4 billion (¥769 billion), while additional pension payment spending of $0.5 billion (¥77 billion) was estimated, due to higher levels of early retirement. Conclusions: While the health implications of OAO are well documented, this fiscal analysis demonstrates the significant economic burden of OAO both to the healthcare system and broader government accounts. Policies aimed at reducing population-level obesity have the potential to benefit government accounts through increasing employment and reducing public spending, which can offset the cost of implementing these policies.

Advocating Grant of Parole to Undertrial Prisoners through Legal Reforms: Protecting Human Rights and Alleviating Prison Overcrowding
Authors: - Md. Imran Wahab, IPS
Published: November 2024

Under Trial Prisoners (UTPs), who account for approximately 75-80% of India's prison population, face prolonged periods of detention largely due to systemic delays within the judicial framework and stringent bail conditions. These individuals frequently encounter significant challenges in securing bail and parole resulting in dire living environments that exacerbate overcrowding, violate human rights, and undermine their mental and physical health. Despite the existence of legal instruments like the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, which offer some degree of protection, UTPs often find themselves ensnared in enduring cycles of incarceration. To effectively tackle these pressing issues, reforms in parole, bail, and expedited judicial processes are imperative. Notably, UTPs are not afforded regular parole opportunities, even though convicts benefit from such provisions. However, the adoption of technological advancements, such as electronic monitoring, offers promising alternatives for the safe temporary release of UTPs on parole. Establishing explicit guidelines regarding eligibility, conditions and effective supervision for the release of UTPs on remand could help protect human rights while ensuring public safety. This approach not only facilitates their reintegration into society but also alleviates the strain on India’s correctional facilities due to overcrowding.

Genetic Enhancement and Problems of Personal Identity
Authors: - Saniya Dhar
Published: November 2024

There are various discussions on personal identity in philosophy. Some differences of opinions exist in western philosophy regarding the criteria that needs to be fulfilled for two different persons at two different times to be considered as identical. Some philosophers think if physical continuity exists between the persons before and after, then they are identical. Some philosophers go against this and think that only psychological continuity must exist between the persons before and after to be considered as identical. There are also some philosophers who think only if both physical and psychological continuity exist between two persons at two different times, then they can be considered identical. The answer to the question , which of the three criteria,
i.e. physical, psychological or mixed, is acceptable as the criteria of personal identity - is entwined with a very important question : when an entity becomes a person. In this paper, personhood of an entity, whether a fetus and who are in vegetative state can be considered as a person etc will be discussed along with another issue on whether personal identity changes after genetic enhancement.
Prevalence Of Metabolic Syndrome In Vitiligo: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: - Manisha Koirala , - Rushma Shrestha , - Anupama Karki , - Goma Dhami
Published: November 2024

Introduction Vitiligo is a common acquired hypomelanotic disorder of the skin and is characterized by depigmented macules and patches that can appear anywhere on the skin. In pathogenesis, the researchers have suggested an interplay of multiple factors such as genetic, neural, oxidant-antioxidant, biochemical, minerals, and autoimmune processes in the induction of vitiligo. Metabolic syndrome (MetS), also known as Syndrome X is a pathological condition typically characterized by the combination of various interrelated metabolic disorders that include abdominal obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. The linkage of skin diseases and MetS is due to ongoing chronic inflammation due to elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines, imbalance between reactive oxygen species and antioxidants, and hormonal abnormalities mostly insulin resistance.
Methodology This cross-sectional study included patients diagnosed with vitiligo and above 16 years of age. All the patients were sent for analysis of fasting lipid profile and fasting blood glucose level. The waist circumference was measured at the mid-point between the lower border of the rib cage and the iliac crest with a flexible inch tape. The blood pressure was taken in a sitting posture after 10 minutes of rest. The data was collected using a preformed proforma.
Results Of the 70 patients, the majority (N=38) were male. The mean age was 37 years with a range from 16 to 79 years. The mean age of male patients was 39.87 ± 17.24 years and female patients was 33.59 ± 13.58 years. The most common clinical type of vitiligo was generalized vitiligo (48.6%) followed by focal (18.6%) and segmental (15.7%). The metabolic syndrome was present in 26 patients (37.1%). The patient with generalized vitiligo had maximum prevalence (n=10) followed by acrofacial vitiligo (n=6).
Conclusion This study found a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components in patients with vitiligo. Therefore, vitiligo patients need to be screened for metabolic syndrome to prevent unforeseen complications.

Scientific calculators are commonly and widely used tools in senior high schools, offering students the ability to perform mathematical calculations faster and more efficiently. This study aimed to investigate the Impact of Scientific Calculators usage on Junior High School graduates Performance in Mathematics. The study was purely quantitative hence data was collected through survey questionnaires and a mathematics achievement test. The study's accessible population size and sample size consisted of 280 and 162 respectively. The sample of 162 students was selected using a systematic random sampling method. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, a simple linear regression model, and a paired sample t-test. The study found a significant difference in students' test scores before and after the use of scientific calculators, t (162) = 17.199, p < .001, leading to a rejection of the null hypothesis. Additionally, a significant correlation was found between calculator usage and students' achievement test scores, F (162) = 24.614; p < .001. Based on these findings, the study recommended that the Ghana Education Service consider allowing and granting permission to schools to incorporate the use of scientific calculators into the teaching and learning of mathematics at the junior high level. This would enhance students' mathematics learning and academic performance. Furthermore, teachers at the senior high school level should introduce enrolled junior high school graduates in Form One to the proper and efficient use of scientific calculators. Students should be taught how to use calculators to solve simple mathematical questions, which would facilitate effective teaching and learning of mathematics

Authors: Mantilla Irla , Arce Mihael
Published: November 2024

The work focuses on the study of existing issues with some medical images obtained from patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) who have survived this COVID-19 pandemic. This study analyzes potential causes of incorrect medical diagnoses with this disease. In this regard, we employ numerical algorithms such as DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform), FFT (Fast Fourier Transform), DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform), and LPF (Low-pass filter). The main objective of this work is to demonstrate that with these numerical algorithms based on Continuous and Discrete Fourier Theory, it is possible to filter existing noise in IPF radiography images. Furthermore, it is possible to compress, enhance, and improve their resolution so that better decisions can be made in a medical protocol. In this way, it contributes to the understanding of the true images that would be used for an optimal medical diagnosis.

Published: November 2024

This research aimed to study the utilization of microorganisms in the soil. These microorganisms were applied to improve the quality of soil and sand to reduce cement consumption. The process of microbial-induced precipitation of calcium carbonate (MICP) was used in this study, a bonding process to create a binding between sand particles from the naturally occurring processes of microorganisms. The study was conducted to determine the maximum growth rate of bacteria (maximum growth curve) of five strains as follows Proteus mirabilis TISTR 100, Bacillus thuringiensis TISTR 126, Staphylococcus aureus TISTR 118, Bacillus sp. TISTR 658 and Bacillus megaterium TISTR 067 in Nutrient Broth (NB) culture medium at 37°C. Christensen's Urea Agar slant (UA) was a preliminary screen for urease-producing bacteria. The color change of indicator color was seen in the slant, comparing the results (+) and control (-). The researchers have selected bacterial strains capable of producing significant amounts of enzymes to hydrolyze urea. It was found that the amount of calcium carbonate sediment produced by five strains of bacteria, namely Proteus mirabilis TISTR 100, Bacillus thuringiensis TISTR 126, Staphylococcus aureus TISTR 118, Bacillus sp. TISTR 658 and Bacillus megaterium TISTR 067 had the amount of sediment produced as follows: 3.430, 3.080, 2.590, 1.985, and 1.615 mg/ml, respectively. It was found that the species Bacillus sp. TISTR 658 does not produce the most calcium carbonate sediment. Nevertheless, it made the sand samples stick together tightly and form the perfect lumps. Therefore, improving the sand's composition has shown the potential to apply the MICP process to reduce the cement used.

The Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) is crucial for assessing multiple sensor systems in wireless communication, sensing, and microwave imaging. ECC measures signal similarity between sensors, with higher values (close to 1.00) indicating strong correlation. Efficient power transmission, reception, and multiband path transmission enhance sensor network performance by improving data rates and reliability through multiple frequency bands. This study uses scattering parameters to calculate ECC for four different sensors in a single arrangement. Most of the sensors exhibit higher correlation at f2 and f3, while f1 shows a low ECC.
