Published: May 2024

Management of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) differs significantly between the defect on the left side, which is adjacent to left atrial appendage, and that on the right one adjacent to the interatrial septum. Here, we report two patients operated at our center. The first case is an adult diagnosed with the left-sided PAPVC draining to an innominate vein through a left-sided vertical vein, and with a large ostium secundum atrial septal defect. The second case is a neonate with mixed-type total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with all right pulmonary veins opening into the coronary sinus, and all the left pulmonary veins connecting to the innominate vein through a left-sided vertical vein. Both patients experienced severe pulmonary arterial hypertension, necessitating surgical treatment involving disconnection of the vertical vein from its junction, or, ligation of the vertical vein-innominate vein junction, coupled with its redirection to the left atrial appendage. We employed different surgical procedures on these patients, given the distinct age difference, intending to anastomose their respective vertical veins to the adjacent left atrial appendage. In this report, the technical aspects of anastomosing vertical vein to left atrial appendage, to avoid pulmonary venous obstruction in these two patients, are discussed.
Transitional Justice in Albania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia in a Comparative Framework
Authors: Dedej Arian , Stasa Ines , Cilento Marco
Published: May 2024

This thesis aims to enhance transitional justice studies with a focus on the Balkan peninsula, by providing a comparative analysis of the extent of transitional justice mechanisms in Albania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia. With the fall of military dictatorships in Latin America in the 1980s, the breakup of the Soviet Union, and the emergence of new states in the 1990s, the concept of Transitional Justice (TJ) saw a significant rise in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This was further propelled by the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989), the prolonged breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1992) as well as the fall of the communist dictatorship in Albania (1990). The emergence of new states and the state-building processes that followed the political and social changes also brought new challenges and conflicts, although they marked the end of significantly repressive political regimes. Considering that the implementation of TJ has undergone several changes over time and is dependent on the different settings in which it was employed, it is necessary to conduct extensive comparative research to determine the extent to which TJ differs in post-communist and post-conflict nations. The study has developed three main hypotheses: (1) The limited achievement of lustration law in Albania has conditioned the current status of transitional justice; (2) The state-building process has contributed to the evolution of Transitional Justice in Kosovo; (3) The power-sharing process as a TJ pillar in North Macedonia has fueled TJ in the country. By utilizing a mixed methods approach, data was collected through elite interviews, conducted in the three countries with 44 representatives from academia, politics, media, and civil society. To conclude, two hypotheses are fully upheld in terms of the limited achievement of lustration law and its implications with the current status of transitional justice in Albania; and the contribution of state-building in Kosovo to the evolution of transitional justice. The third hypothesis related to the power-sharing process in North Macedonia as a fueling mechanism for the evolution of transitional justice is partially upheld.

Published: May 2024

Early detection of reasoning disorders has become a national priority; however, despite concerted efforts, certain children still receive late diagnoses. Notably, this study found that children of Moroccan origin were more susceptible to delayed diagnoses. The primary objective of this research was to identify specific tests relevant to various types of reasoning disorders and to establish the correlation between diagnostic assessments for reasoning disorders and academic performance, using quantitative methods. The study employed a non-experimental, correlational research design. Furthermore, the following variables were taken into account: gender, disorders, and success rates. The sample consisted of 621 students from three schools (colleges) under the jurisdiction of the Bouskoura provincial government. Data collection was carried out by completing a questionnaire developed by speech therapists from GEPALM (Study Group on the Psychopathology of Logical-Mathematical Activities) and Cogi'Act (a research group dedicated to promoting speech therapy research). The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 21 software. The results revealed a significant correlation (p-value = 0.013) between tests identifying different types of reasoning disorders and the percentage of academic success. The correlation was found to be of high intensity, accounting for 81.6% of all correlations. Additionally, various types of reasoning disorders exhibited significant correlations with the success rate, indicating a strong negative intensity (r = -0.816). The strength of the correlation varied depending on the specific relationship and the type of reasoning disorder. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the need for further research to fully comprehend the impact of reasoning disorders on academic success. Additionally, it highlights the necessity of effective and tailored educational interventions for each type of reasoning disorder.

Hermetic Poetry: Understanding and Interpreting Albanian Poetry
Authors: Bajraktari Januzi Merita , Hasani Pllana Mimoza
Published: May 2024

Modern European lyrical poetry of the 20th century (with authors: Rilke and George Trakl in Austria; Apollinaire or Mallarme, Yves Bonfois, Baudelaire in France; Frederico Garcia Lorka, Rafael Alberto in Spain; Ungaret, Montale and Quasimodo in Italy,and even Anglo-Saxons, such as Yeats, Pound and T. S. Eliot.), also took place in Albanian spaces, within our political, social and cultural circumstances. Dressed in symbols and metaphors, dark and full of contrasts, as an inner expression of the poet, it comes as an opposition to ideologized and politicized literature, as well as to dictatorial power. Hermetic poetry, as we see the poetry of Italian and other authors, which was created in the circumstances of the dictatorial time all over Europe, is dark and closed poetry, based on symbolic language with suggestive and semiotic power, with a complexity in poetic articulation, which brings difficulty in interpretation. The hermetic poets, avoiding the regimes of the Nazi-fascist time, withdraw into themselves and avoid open communication to bring the inner world of creators who put art first, through which they come out against the systems and propaganda of the reality that surrounds them. Along these lines, this poem, which in most cases expresses loneliness, pain and despair, as experiences of wars, losses, feelings and human situations, appears reflexive (of internal reflection), but also a poem of contemplation, emotion and of deep thought. The Albanian researcher, Leka Ndoja, considers that hermetic poetry comes to life or is understood from its reading and interpretation, since it does not communicate directly with the signified. The signifiers of the hermetic poetry are revealed by the interpretations of the poetry within the mysticism of the subtlety of the message. Our authors were also inspired by this poem to hide the message as a new poetic strategy (Ndoja 2012, 5). When it comes to our Albanian poetry, the researcher from Kosovo, Basri Çapriqi, mainly considers the poetry of the 70s as such, as he says in his press release "Poetry of the 70s-Non-communication as communication", at the Academy Conference of Sciences and Arts, with the title "Streams of contemporary Albanian literature". That poem comes with a low level of communication, without transparency of messages and as such is not easily understood by readers.

Authors: Cenaj Mirjeta , Ushtelenca Keida , Aliaj Blerina
Published: May 2024

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is generally defined as a condition that affects movement and coordination. In children aged 5-10 years, DCD can significantly impact various aspects of their lives, including academic performance and learning. DCD may be accompanied and connected with difficulties in cognitive skills, resulting in learning challenges, particularly evident in school subjects such as arithmetic, language, or overall literacy, in this way affecting and reducing academic performance and learning outcomes. The instrument used to collect the data of the study was a questionnaire addressed to parents in order to: identify the rate of children with suspect DCD within the age group of 5-10  and see where our country stands in comparison to other studies carried out in other countries; identify the learning difficulties of typically developing children and children with an indication of/ suspect DCD; see any significant differences between typical children and DCD suspect children as related to school settings and learning difficulties. After the statistical processing of the collected and filtered data it is identified that the total percentage of suspect DCD children is 9.3%, ranging from 2.3% - 21.1% at 12 different cities in Albania, and it is slightly higher in boys, 10% in boys vs. 8.6% in girls. Moreover, the results show that 'suspect DCD' children encounter most of the learning difficulties. Whereas, regarding the total number of our subjects we identified that children of this age group tend to take slightly more time to complete school tasks; they do not seem to like changes in daily routine/ environment; they also have difficulty understanding reading passages and tend to respond by repeating questions.

Authors: - Wangden Dema , - Vinoth S
Published: May 2024

The research study on the relationship between ESG scores and financial performance in the banking sector of India reveals significant insights into the dynamics of sustainable finance. The analysis, conducted using data from eight banking companies over a five-year period, indicates a weak negative correlation between ESG scores and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of stock prices. Conversely, moderate positive correlations are observed between ESG scores and the CAGR of both return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). Regression analysis reinforces these findings, highlighting a weak linear relationship between ESG scores and financial metrics. Theoretical implications suggest alignment with stakeholder theory, agency theory, and institutional theory, emphasizing the importance of considering stakeholder interests, aligning incentives, and navigating institutional pressures. Managerial implications underscore the need for strategic integration of ESG factors into decision-making processes, stakeholder engagement, and investment in ESG education and training programs. The study identifies limitations, including inadequate ESG data availability and sector-specific focus, and suggests future research directions exploring diverse sectors and financial indicators beyond banking. Overall, the research contributes to advancing our understanding of sustainable finance and its implications for long-term value creation

Authors: - Malakalapalli Yasmi , - PRAVEEN KUMAR KARRI , - D.Jaya Kumari
Published: May 2024

Smart grids, which provide several advantages, such as improved energy efficiency, less power outages, and higher security, are growing in popularity as a result of the rising need for electricity. But one of the biggest problems with smart grids is power theft, which costs utility companies a lot of money. Therefore, electric power distribution firms are quite concerned about theft of power. The purpose of this study is to offer an effective technique based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) for identifying Smart grid electricity theft. After training on a dataset of acceptable consumption patterns, the ANN model will be evaluated on information about energy theft events. The design will be tested using test data in order to assess the effectiveness of the suggested strategy. The outcomes that we anticipated from our suggested ANN-based method for Smart grid detection of electricity theft are favourable. 99% Training Accuracy and 99% Validation Accuracy were attained by our method. The performance measures that will be employed include F1-score, recall, accuracy, and precision. Additionally, we created the proposed system that makes use of the Flask Web framework to make it easier to use and provide a better user interface for outcome prediction. The research will likely produce an efficient method for employing ANN to identify energy theft in smart grids, which utility companies can utilise to increase revenue collection and fortify the security of the smart grid. This research may potentially be expanded to other fields, such intrusion detection in computer networks and fraud detection in financial systems, that entail anomaly identification in large-scale datasets

A Brief Study of Chandas in Sanskrit
Authors: - Santanu Chakrabortty
Published: May 2024

Sanskrit prosody or Chandas refers to one of the six Vedangas, or limbs of Vedic studies. It is the study of poetic metres and verse in Sanskrit. This field of study was central to the composition of the Vedas, the scriptural canons of Hinduism, so central that some later Hindu and Buddhist texts refer to the Vedas as Chandas. The Chandas, as developed by the Vedic schools, were organized around seven major metres, and each had its own rhythm, movements and aesthetics. Sanskrit metres include those based on a fixed number of syllables per verse, and those based on fixed number of morae per verse. Extant ancient manuals on Chandas include Pingala'sChandah Sutra, while an example of a medieval Sanskrit prosody manual is KedaraBhatta'sVrittaratnakara. The most exhaustive compilations of Sanskrit prosody describe over 600 metres. This is a substantially larger repertoire than in any other metrical tradition.

Design of highly sensitive temperature sensor based on photonic band gap structure
Authors: Grine Farouk , Ammari Halima , Benhabiles Mohamed Taoufik , Riabi Mohamed Lahdi
Published: May 2024

In this paper, a novel microstrip resonator technique for temperature sensing is proposed, designed, and implemented using a hybrid planar microstrip line and photonic band gap (PBG) structure. To implement the PBG structure of the microstrip line, a microfluidic channel with periodic form is introduced into the substrate and filled with water. The operation principle of the sensor is based on a frequency shift due to the variation in the center of the band gap, which in turn changes with the variation of the permittivity of water, which relates to the temperature. The different empirical expressions describing the complex permittivity with the resonant frequency were carried out. The proposed sensor is simple in design and low cost, which may be applied in different applications at the industrial.

Published: May 2024

Objective: To study the conversion model of RGB color space to CIE1976 L*a*b* color space with higher accuracy, which provides some value for the fields of computer color matching, color detection, and color reproduction. Methods: The method of three-dimensional look-up table method and back propagation (BP) neural network are proposed, and the effect of the model built under the two methods is evaluated under the calculation of CIE1976 L*a*b* and CIE2000 color difference by NCS color card data. Results: Under the calculation of CIE1976 L*a*b* color difference, the average color difference under the four interpolation methods of the three-dimensional look-up table is within 3, and the average color difference of the BP neural network algorithm is 1.8720. Under the calculation of CIE2000 color difference, the average color difference of the four interpolation methods of the three-dimensional look-up table drops within 1, and the average color difference of the BP neural network also shows a downward trend, and the specific value is 1.3449. Conclusions: According to the result obtained by the research method, the color difference of the tetrahedral interpolation method is the smallest among the four interpolation methods of the three-dimensional look-up table method under both color difference formulas. Whether it is the three-dimensional look-up table method or the BP neural network, the model obtained by the CIE2000 color difference formula is the best. In general, for the two methods, the BP neural network method is more convenient and faster, and the color difference effect is also desirable.

Authors: Huang XianWu , Wang Yuxiao , Zhu ZhiHong , Shang Haili , Cao Zhao
Published: May 2024

Collecting information on the flotation foam characteristics is important for controlling flotation production conditions. Foam images acquired during coal slurry flotation are affected by factors such as ambient lighting, contributing to uneven grayscale images with low brightness and contrast. Brightness enhancement of foam images is often required when using network models to extract feature information from the images. The paper proposes a foam image brightness enhancement algorithm based on a multiscale convolutional neural network. The method employs a skip connection structure based on a summation connection design based on logarithmic functions and introduces a loss function based on logarithmic transformation in the network. At the same time, branching networks of different complexity are designed in the network to further help alleviate the gradient vanishing problem. The experimental results show that when evaluating the quality of images after brightness enhancement of foam images and the public dataset MIT, the numerical results of using the proposed skip connection structure in the proposed network are overall better than using the resblock structure, and the proposed loss function is better than is better than using the L2 loss function. The proposed network greatly improves the visual effect of flotation foam images and lays the foundation for feature extraction of flotation foam images and intelligent flotation production.

Women existence is often in an ambiguous position. Women are sometimes acknowledged for their existence, but on the other hand they are also often looked down. The culture have a significant influence on understanding a woman's existence. One of them is in Batak culture, the hierarcy pattern between men and women is very thick with patrilineal elements and this is very detrimental to the existence of women in their lifes. Batak women's efforts to find their existence are often seen as a form of resistance to patriarchal culture. This is what ultimately results in women being asked to be 'obedient' figures in the sense of obeying all orders and even depending on men. This paper will look at how the existence of women in an existentialist feminist perspective, especially from Beauvoir's point of view. Existentialist feminists will dismantle the patrilineal element and reconstruct it so that the existence of women, especially Batak, is not always under the influence of men. Batak women also have the autonomous right to express opinions, to be heard, to be empowered and to dream their goals.Keywords: existence, feminist, patrilineal.

The three issues that are the focus of attention in this research are related to the causes, consequences and also solutions in overcoming the phenomenon of negative contestation in religion in the digital era in a pluralistic country. As a qualitative research, the data obtained is collected by relying on library techniques and also document recording, where the analysis knife used to dissect the data that has been collected is done through qualitative descriptive techniques. The results of the analysis show that the phenomenon of negative contestation in religion is actually caused by the extreme point of view of the people, egocentric personalities, technological developments, religious populism, excessive freedom of social media, the Three Education Centers (family, school and society) lack of synergy, and national disintegration. This has resulted in the emergence of intolerance, religious arrogance, reduced religious empathy, and disturbed people's mental health. However, this can be overcome through religious moderation, cultivating tolerance intensively, maximizing the collaboration of the Three Centers of Education, refraining from negative debates, improving the quality of religious instructors, tightening supervision of social media, broadening horizons, improving the moral quality of the people, and obeying the rule of law.

Implementing habituation activities is something that is very important for every individual in forming character. Considering that in this era the decline in student ethics and morals is caused by various factors, apart from that in public schools, the portion available for studying Islam is limited to only 3 hours of lessons (JP) every week, of course these 3 hours of lessons are a short time for guiding students to have noble character by always carrying out God's commands. This is different from Madrasah schools which under the auspices of the Ministry of Religion receive a large portion of Islamic religious learning, because in Madrasahs Islamic religious learning is divided based on their respective fields. With these clear differences, Adhyaksa Medan Middle School carries out a program of religious habituation and character development activities.

Published: May 2024

Mushrooms, due to their many medical, preventive, and nutraceutical purposes, as well as their reputation as a folk remedy, have long been an integral part of traditional cuisines. The therapeutic advantages of mushrooms may be attributed to their bioactive components, including polysaccharides (both low and high molecular weight), terpenoids, phenolic compounds, fatty acids, lectins, and glucans. The bioactive components have been discovered to possess various health advantages, including antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, radical scavenging, cardiovascular, anti-hypercholesterolemia, and anti-diabetic effects. These effects have gained worldwide attention and stimulated interest in further investigating their potential applications. Functional foods have the dual purpose of serving as both nourishment and medication. They may assist in the management and prevention of health disorders that are not functioning optimally, as well as mitigate some adverse effects of life-threatening diseases. Further evaluation is necessary to fully understand the mechanisms via which mushrooms operate and improve their therapeutic properties. This review delves into the possible medicinal potential of mushrooms and the advantages they may provide to human health.

Abstract- Libraries generally provide lockers for users to store their luggage. Lockers in general still use conventional security by using manual locks. Currently, UIN Suska Riau Central Library still uses conventional key security which is considered easy to duplicate, lose, and damage. The purpose of this research is to improve locker security for user convenience and security through a system integrated with RFID, dual camera monitoring, and telegram notification. This tool has a CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) system embedded in the telegram application managed by the admin. Admin can register, delete, and monitor locker user activities. This tool can identify registered and unregistered RFID tags properly. When a registered user accesses the locker, the system will send a picture of the user and a message to the telegram. Meanwhile, when an unregistered user accesses the locker 3 times incorrectly, the device will send the user's picture and message to the telegram and an alarm will sound for 3 seconds as an indication of an attempted locker break-in. The speed of information notification from the Internet of Things system has a delay in sending images with stability in the range of 3 - 4 seconds with relatively strong internet provider speed stability.

Beef is one of the most consumed meats in Indonesia. However, the high price of beef has led to rogue traders mixing pork with beef. This condition occurs due to the lack of public knowledge about the difference between the two meats. To maintain food safety in Indonesia and especially in Riau province, the Livestock Service Office of Riau province conducts market surveys. There are several methods that are usually used to check the content of beef or pork, including Rapid Test Kit and Elisa. Both methods are time consuming and costly. One other solution that can be used is the artificial intelligence method, namely deep learning. In this research, a classification approach using deep learning is used to distinguish between beef and pork in the form of a web application. This research compares Convolutional Neural Network algorithm with Inception-V3 and Inception-Resnet-V2 architecture with hyperparameter optimization. From several experiments that have been carried out, the best model is the Inception-Resnet-V2 architecture with an experimental scenario using a learning rate of 0.001, and an optimizer Adam with an accuracy of 96.50%, Precision 96.48%, Recall 96.55% and F1-Score 96.50%. By using this model, web-based applications can be developed using the flask framework well and can perform classification accurately.
