INTRODUÇÃO: A AF é uma doença genética autossômica hereditária em que sua fisiopatologia leva à falcização e à hemólise o que aumenta o risco de acidente vascular cerebral (AVC), inclusive em crianças. A população na África equatorial, região mediterrânea e Turquia são mais comumente afetada pela AF. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar as repercussões de um acidente vascular cerebral em crianças diagnosticadas previamente com anemia falciforme. METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa na base de dados PUBMED utilizando os descritores “PEDIATRIC STROKE AND SICKLE CELL’’ para artigos publicados entre 2018 e 2024. DISCUSSÃO: O AVC pode ocorrer em até 15,7% dos pacientes pediátricos com diagnóstico de anemia falciforme. Mesmo com prevalência inferior às outras complicações, sua taxa de mortalidade é elevada. O maior risco do primeiro AVC isquêmico ocorrer é na primeira década de vida. O risco de AVC em pacientes com anemia ferropriva é 300 vezes maior em comparação a pessoas sem a doença. CONCLUSÃO: pacientes com AF possuem um maior risco de acometimento neurológico como o AVC. Crianças com AF devem ser acompanhadas e triadas para alterações neurológicas. O uso de AAS não é estabelecido como profilaxia para casos de AVC nessa condição.

Published: April 2024

The liver, a life-sustaining organ, plays a substantial role in many body functions. Liver diseases have become an important world health problem in terms of prevalence, incidences, and mortalities. Liver fibrosis/cirrhosis is great of importance, because if not treated in time liver cancer could be occurred and spread to other parts of the body. For this reason, early diagnosis of liver fibrosis/cirrhosis gives significance. Accordingly, this study investigated the performances of different machine learning algorithms for prediction of liver fibrosis/cirrhosis based on demographic and blood values. In this context, random forest, k nearest neighbour, C4.5 decision tree, K-star, random tree and reduced error pruning tree algorithms were used. Two distinct approaches were employed to evaluate the performances of machine learning algorithms. In the first approach, the entire features of dataset were utilized, while in the second approach, only the features selected through principal component analysis were used. Each approach was rigorously assessed using both 10-fold cross-validation and data splitting (70% train and 30% test) techniques. By conducting separate evaluations for each approach, a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of utilizing all features versus extracted features based principal component analysis was attained, providing valuable insights into the impact of feature dimensionality reduction on model performance. In this study, all analyses were implemented on WEKA data mining tool. In the first approach, the classification accuracies of random forest algorithm were 89.72% and 90.75% with the application of data splitting (70%-30%) and cross-validation techniques, respectively. In the second approach, where feature reduction is performed using principal component analysis technique, the accuracy values obtained from data splitting and cross-validation techniques of random forest algorithm were 88.61% and 88.83%, respectively. The obtained results revealed out that random forest algorithm outperformed for both approaches. Besides, the application of principal component analysis technique negatively affected the classification performance of used machine learning algorithms. It is thought that the proposed model will guide specialist physicians in making appropriate treatment decisions for patients with liver fibrosis/cirrhosis, potentially leading to death in its advanced stages.

Published: April 2024

The aim of this article is to identify the critical factors and assess the specific actions conditioning the development of electromobility from the perspective of a zero-carbon, innovative and resilient economy. These issues have a particular dimension in relation to individual mobility. The study used a combination of primary and secondary data, using various research methods and techniques, such as descriptive analysis, desk research, diagnostic survey, cause-and-effect analysis and statistical analysis. Additionally, in-depth interviews were conducted with experts in managerial positions. The literature review and the results of our own research confirmed the importance of the identified factors in the uptake of electric cars. At the same time, the study highlighted the high complexity of problems regarding investment decisions determining the development of electromobility. Taking active steps to increase the level of sustainability and resilience of the electromobility system should first focus on further development of charging infrastructure, uptake of electric vehicles, development of renewable energy sources and creation of an electric vehicle battery value chain. The main expectations for the development of electromobility are to reduce CO2 emissions, reduce dependence on fossil fuel supplies, increase the competitiveness and innovation of the economy and reduce external costs generated by transport. Attempts were made to achieve the originality of the research carried out through its measurable nature. The proposed electromobility development model may contribute to the improvement of decision-making tools regarding the allocation of public funds and other sources for investments so that they contribute to the sustainable development of mobility systems.

Published: April 2024

Mangosteen is one of the prospective horticultural commodities in Indonesia. It is a perennial plant with a lifespan of several decades. On average, mangosteen trees in Indonesia can produce 30-70 kg of fruit per tree in a single harvest per year, which is lower compared to Malaysia, Thailand, and India where yields can reach 200-300 kg of fruit per tree. The primary mangosteen production centers in Indonesia are located in West Java Province, specifically in Tasikmalaya, Subang, and Sukabumi. This research was conducted to identify the factors influencing mangosteen production. The research methodology employed a survey approach, collecting primary data directly from respondents (mangosteen farmers) and secondary data obtained from the Tasikmalaya District Central Statistics Agency. The study was conducted in Puspahiang Village, Puspahiang District, Tasikmalaya Regency, and simple random sampling was used for sample selection. The impact of production factors was analyzed using the Cobb-Douglas production function equation model. To assess the simultaneous effect, an F-test was conducted, and for the partial effects, a t-test was employed. The research findings indicate that variables such as land area, number of trees, organic fertilizers, labor force, and tree age collectively influence mangosteen production. Additionally, when examined individually, land area, number of trees, organic fertilizers, labor force, and tree age each have a significant impact on mangosteen production. The scale of production results suggests that a 1 percent increase in input will lead to a 2.216 percent increase in mangosteen production, indicating an increasing return scale.

Published: April 2024

The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) optimization technique was used to examine the effect of load, Tomato Methyl Ester (TOME), and Ethanol injection enhanced diesel on engine performance and exhaust gas emissions with a normal piston and an Al2O3 coated piston. TOME biodiesel (10, 20, and 30%) and ethanol (10, 20, and 30%) were chosen to increase BTE while minimizing BSFC, NOx, CO, smoke, and HC. The RSM technique was used to operate the engine by load (0–100%). The results revealed that engine load, TOME, and ethanol concentration all exhibited a considerable effect on the response variables. The ANOVA results for the established quadratic models specified that for each model, an ideal was discovered by optimizing an experiment's user-defined historical design. The present research efforts to improve the performance of a diesel engine by using a thermal barrier-coated piston that runs on biodiesel blends. Al2O3 is the chosen material for TBC due to its excellent thermal insulation properties. B20E30 has a 4% higher brake thermal efficiency than diesel, but B10E20 and B30E20 mixes have a 3.6% and 12% reduction in BSFC. The B20 blends lowered CO and HC emissions by 6% and 8% respectively. In terms of performance and emissions, biodiesel blends performed similarly to pure diesel, and the combination was optimized through the design of an experiment tool.

Scorpions are an important predator group in the habitats where they live, due to their voracity. However, their predatory habits are not well recorded, particularly in Amazonian species. Here we report four intraspecific predation events involving Tityus metuendus Pocock, 1987. In all cases, larger individuals acted as predators of smaller ones. These are the first reports of cannibalism involving scorpions in the Brazilian Amazon. Our findings are important to allow a better understanding of intraspecific interactions in tropical scorpion assemblages.

Excellent academic achievement is the target of student learning efforts at every level of study. Unfortunately, dealing with financial problems during the study session is often one of the causes of academic dropout among students nowadays. Aware of this, UiTM Perak in particular has offered zakat assistance as a financial solution to selected students to ease the financial burden through the establishment of the Zakat, Sedekah and Waqf Unit. However, the existing distribution method which is done based on the average cost of study for asnaf students, is relatively often somewhat misguided from the objective of fair aid distribution considering that the background of asnaf students is from various studies and bear different learning costs. Therefore, in order to succeed in an alternative method of fair distribution of zakat aid and achieve its goals, this study was conducted with the objective; identify the financial needs of UiTM Perak Branch students according to the department and semester of study, explain the differences in the cost of learning needs between faculties and further re-evaluate the more relevant zakat distribution method according to the current situation. This study was carried out quantitatively through the distribution of online questionnaires to the students of the Faculty of Architecture and Material Planning (FSPU), Faculty of Painting & Design (FSSR), Faculty of Accounting (FP), Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics (FSKM) ) and the Faculty of Applied Science (FSG). Findings show that the need for learning costs for FSSR students is greater than other faculties. The hope is that this finding will fuel academic excellence among asnaf students through a more transparent and effective method of distributing zakat aid.
TRUST–POWER RELATIONSHIP AND TAX REPORTING BY PLATFORM WORKERS: A MODERATED MEDIATION MODEL
Authors: Sabli Nurshamimi , Che Azmi Anna , Jaafar Noor Ismawati
Published: April 2024

The power and trust relationship between tax authorities and taxpayers is thought to be important in shaping taxpayer compliance behaviour. Although a growing number of studies have considered moral and emotional elements in tax decision-making, the nexus between taxpayers’ honest intention and feelings of guilt towards their tax-reporting decision remains unclear. In support of studies on the digital or platform economy and the rising number of individuals earning income digitally, this study seeks to identify factors that influence individuals’ tax reporting decision of their digital income. Applying the Slippery Slope Framework, this study uses a 2 x 2 between-subjects factorial experimental design, in which the independent variables of this study, i.e., power and trust are manipulated. This study conducts a scenario-based experiment with eighty platform workers on an established digital platform. The findings reveal that high trust in authorities increases platform workers' intention for honesty reporting and guilt for misreporting, promoting tax-reporting compliance. Moreover, this relationship is significantly moderated by the high-power condition. Specifically, it is believed that both enforcement and trust matter in achieving compliance in taxpayers’ reporting.
THE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE
Authors: Qian Zuo Yin , Lai Wei Sieng
Published: April 2024

This paper studies the complex impact mechanism of AI (artificial intelligence) technology on international trade. This provides an answer to how different countries use AI technology to increase their own international trade volume. This article is based on an analysis of cross-sectional data for 139 countries in 2021. This paper uses the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method to perform a analysis on the cross-sectional data. This paper finds that the membership of World Trade Organization (WTO) has obvious significance for a country to use AI technology to promote exports. In countries with a high Government AI Readiness Index, AI technology has a significant role in promoting the growth of international trade. However, there is a significant negative correlation between the number of patent applications for AI-related technologies and imports and exports across countries. Besides, the number of patent applications for AI-related technologies has a direct heterogeneous impact on the imports of countries with different income groups. AI technology is an emerging technology. To study the impact of this technology on international trade, multiple factors of AI technology must be considered at the same time. For countries that are not members of the WTO, joining the WTO can make better use of AI technology to promote the development of their international trade. Between the complex relationship between the number of patent applications for different AI-related technologies and international trade, countries with different income groups should develop AI technologies that are beneficial to their own international trade.

Published: April 2024

Information found in records is a valuable resource and a key component of a successful organization. For enterprises to safeguard and preserve records as proof of activities and transactions, a systematic approach to record management is crucial. The amount of their inactive records is significantly rising for many businesses and organizations. Records management lowers the risk involved in handling documentation of an organization's operations, which may have an impact on the operation, administration, performance, and reputation of the organisation. When an organisation faces the challenge of having too many files and not enough space for offices, it will begin to consider moving to off-site storage. The concept of outsourcing, or subcontracting selected services, has become a highly accepted management tool. This phenomenon becomes an opportunity to the commercial records center as an alternative place for agency and company to outsource their records storage. As a long-term answer to the issue of where to store and manage their records and information, several agencies and businesses have chosen to use commercial record center. Therefore, an in depth understanding about benefits of CRC is needed to ensure the successful of outsourcing activity among CRC companies. An extensive literature review was conducted to identify the potential and benefits of using CRC in records storage activities. The study highlights an overview potential and benefits of CRC in context of business environment in Malaysia. The purpose of this study is to investigate and overview the benefits of using CRC in records storage activity and comparative finding between CRCs on services offered by them. This study elaborates the benefits of using CRC in order to increase the efficiency of the organizational performance.

Lately, there has been a growing focus on work-life balance (WLB) in the employment sector. Employees prioritize their overall well-being and have a tendency to select organization that provide flexible job assignments. This tendency has led to friction between employers and employees, thereby fostering an unsatisfactory psychological atmosphere in the workplace. In recent times, there has been a rise in the occurrence of and concern about mental health problems among employees. Psychological instability in employees is frequently influenced by socio-economic concerns, living environment, and work-related stress. The main objective of this study is to identify the relationship between psychological factors, namely emotional intelligence, depression, anxiety, and stress, and work-life balance (WLB). A total sample of 2,640 Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) members across Malaysia participated as respondents in this study. They successfully completed a series of research questionnaires, which served as the measurement instruments for this research. This study uses quantitative methodologies, specifically descriptive analysis and correlation tests, to examine the relationship between variables. The study's findings indicate a strong positive correlation between the dimensions of emotional intelligence (namely, SEA, OEA, UOE, and ROE) and work-life balance (WLB). Conversely, anxiety and stress factors exhibit a significant negative correlation with WLB. Nevertheless, it was determined that the level of depression did not have a substantial correlation with work-life balance. The findings of this study demonstrate that the psychological component plays a crucial role in shaping the well-being of workers, particularly those in the military. Organizations should prioritize the implementation of development and training programs, as well as spirituality, to enhance the psychological resilience of their personnel. This will help to empower the human capital in the organization.

Published: April 2024

The present study was aimed to reveal genetic diversity in rice genotypes for important agronomic traits and submergence tolerance using microsatellite markers and SUB1 specific genic markers. In this context, we used a set of 27 microsatellite markers and gene specific markers for estimation purpose. The genotypes were of broad genetic base and some of them showed differential tolerance to complete flash flood submergence. Total number of alleles and Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) value were calculated for different markers. A total of 55 alleles were detected across the 28 genotypes. On an average, two to three alleles per locus were found to be produced. The range of PIC values was found to be varying from 0.07 to 0.37, with an average of 0.27 per locus. Based on molecular information generated by polymorphic SSR markers, 28 genotypes were grouped in five different clusters. Maximum twelve genotypes were grouped in cluster II while minimum one genotype was grouped in cluster V. Among the 28 genotypes, the highest dissimilarity index was observed between Rajendra Suwasini and RYC-743; and between Sabour Surbhit and RYC-743 while the lowest dissimilarity index was observed between RAU 3001 and Vaidehi. SUB1 specific makers amplified similar size of allele for RYC 743, Purnendu, Swarna Sub-1, and IR 96321-315-402-B-1 revealing the presence of SUB1 in these genotypes. Interestingly, some of the genotypes showed good amount of submergence tolerance but could not amplify for SUB1 specific makers.
Poglądy antyfederalistów na kształt Unii w czasie Konwencji Filadelfijskiej i procesu ratyfikacji Konstytucji Stanów Zjednoczonych
Authors: Tulejski Tomasz
Published: April 2024

CEL NAUKOWY: Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie głównych argumentów antyfederalistycznych przeciwko Konstytucji Stanów Zjednoczonych.

PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Antyfederalizm był ruchem politycznym końca XVIII wieku, który sprzeciwiał się utworzeniu silniejszego rządu federalnego Stanów Zjednoczonych i który później sprzeciwił się ratyfikacji Konstytucji z 1787 roku. W tym artykule zadano następujące pytania: Dlaczego antyfederaliści sprzeciwiali się Konstytucji Stanów Zjednoczonych? ­Dlaczego nowy rząd był zbyt silny? Dlaczego silniejszy rząd zagrażał suwerenności i wolności stanów, społeczności lokalnych lub jednostek?

PROCES WYWODU: Dokonano krytycznej analizy tekstu Konstytucji Stanów Zjednoczonych, dokumentów federalistów i antyfederalistów oraz najważniejszych argumentów w wielkiej debacie konstytucyjnej.

WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Krytyka Konstytucji Stanów Zjednoczonych przez antyfederalistów wynikała z obaw przed skonsolidowanym rządem federalnym. Jej główne elementy po ratyfikacji stały się narzędziem obrony praw stanów i zasad federalizmu zdefiniowanych podczas debat w Filadelfii i na konwencjach stanowych.

WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Opracowanie pozwala na sformułowanie wniosku, że federaliści stworzyli Konstytucję USA, ale antyfederaliści od początku ją przejęli. To napięcie między federalistami i antyfederalistami trwa w całej historii Stanów Zjednoczonych aż do dnia dzisiejszego.

Authors: Szulc Joanna Maria , Toporek Magdalena , Tomczak Michał Tomasz , Gawrycka Małgorzata
Published: April 2024

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive examination of the role of soft skills among academics in the context of the evolving higher-education landscape.

THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: We use a scoping review of existing literature to discuss the importance of soft skills in academia. Through critical analysis and synthesis, we identify patterns and gaps in current knowledge and develop five theoretically informed lessons to improve practice and theory.

THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: A unique theoretical blending of five theories (resource-based, dynamic capabilities, cultural learning, implicit leadership, and human capital) forms the conceptual framework we used to arrive at our conclusions.

RESEARCH RESULTS: Our first conclusion emphasizes that soft skills are essential for a competitive advantage in the performative culture of neoliberal academies. Second, we emphasize that updating soft skills is crucial in order to respond to the changing higher-education environment. Third, going beyond the universal view of academia as a sharply hierarchical industry, we demonstrate how building relationships with stakeholders is necessary for academic skill development. Our fourth lesson explores the implications of different evaluators’ perceptions of soft skills, highlighting the need for recognition of their value. The ultimate lesson highlights the need to invest in the skills of academics.

CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: We consolidate existing theoretical approaches and overcome theoretical fragmentation to arrive at a comprehensive and theoretically grounded set of lessons for those interested in developing and utilizing soft skills among academics in the unique context of the ever-changing higher-education environment. We challenge the norms of neoliberal academia and call for the development of realistic policies and procedures that promote a respectful, collaborative, and sustainable higher-education environment.

Praca ma ustalić, czy obecnie obowiązujące rozwiązania w zakresie zrzeszania się gwarantują realną możliwość zadośćuczynienia potrzebom ludzkim, a wynikającym z ich natury.

PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Podstawowym problemem badawczym jest ustalenie, czy obecne gwarancje wolnościowe, dotyczące swobody zrzeszania się, stanowią formę realizacji potrzeb politycznych człowieka. Do przeprowadzenia analizy zastosowano metody z zakresu nauk prawnych, tj. analizę dogmatyczno-prawną, doktrynalną, jak i teoretyczno-prawną.

PROCES WYWODU: W pierwszej części artykułu zajęto się przedstawieniem znaczenia czynnika społecznego w zakresie funkcjonowania państwa. Odwołano się do społecznej natury człowieka, opierając się na arystotelesowskim ujęciu politikon zoon. Kolejno przeprowadzono analizę regulacji ustawy zasadniczej w kontekście oddziaływania jednostki na sferę aktywności władzy za pośrednictwem wolności zrzeszania się. Końcowa część artykułu stanowi odpowiedź na założenia odnośnie do roli swobody stowarzyszania się w życiu każdego człowieka.

WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Wolność zrzeszania się stanowi istotny element realizacji potrzeb ludzkich wynikających z natury społecznej człowieka, będąc formą oddziaływania politycznego. Obowiązujące regulacje konstytucyjne w odniesieniu do wolności zrzeszania się stanowią płaszczyznę umożliwiającą realny wpływ jednostki na władzę.

WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Wobec źródła wolności zrzeszania się, jakim jest godność człowieka, zachodzi konieczność wdrożenia przez państwo takich standardów, które umożliwią realizację tej swobody bez względu na różne uwarunkowania prawne znajdujące się po stronie jednostki. Możliwość realizacji tej wolności powinna wyznaczać standardy w kształtowaniu prawa w obszarze stowarzyszania się.

L10-FeCo has attracted attention as a new, rare-metal-free magnetic material due to its large uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. However, the low stability of the L10 phase hampers its practical application. We here intend to prepare FeCo alloy thin films by utilizing the nitrogen surfactant effect. The enhancement of the out-of-plane magnetization of this thin film was observed by stacking cobalt single atomic layer on bilayer iron nitride and subsequent annealing at 470 K. This study provides an insight into the relationship between structural changes and magnetic properties of the FeCo interface on the atomic scale, and paves the way for the development of rare metal-free magnetic materials.
