Authors: Maravi Baldeón Layli , Zúñiga Mera Rigoberto , Garay Quintana Soledad
Published: January 2022

Diversos y recientes estudios indican que la información acerca de la importancia del uso del preservativo en la prevención  de las ITS y el SIDA es bastante conocida y aceptada. Sin embargo se conoce también por los mismos estudios que esta información no se refleja necesariamente en el uso del condón masculino en sus prácticas sexuales, esto se debe a que subsisten aun  muchos mitos y prejuicios en su utilización y a la información distorsionada obtenida de fuentes poco serias. Nuestra localidad no está exenta de esta problemática por lo cual se hace necesario conocer que información manejan sobre el condón masculino, así mismo sobre las creencias relacionadas al condón masculino. El problema de la investigación fue ¿Cuál es el nivel de conocimiento y que creencias tienen los estudiantes de la UNCP sobre el condón masculino?, objetivo general: determinar el nivel de conocimiento y las creencias que tienen los estudiantes de la UNCP sobre el condón masculino, y la hipótesis: los estudiantes de la UNCP poseen un nivel de conocimiento insuficiente y  creencias desfavorables acerca del condón masculino. En el estudio fue descriptivo transversal, las técnicas que se utilizaron fueron la encuesta estructurada y el grupo focal. La población estuvo constituida por los estudiantes de todas las facultades de la UNCP siendo un numero de 8753 y la muestra de 406 estudiantes. Las conclusiones a las que arribamos son 1) Los alumnos de la UNCP  tienen conocimientos suficientes sobre el condón, 2) los alumnos de la UNCP tienen creencias desfavorables acerca del condón masculino.

Published: January 2022

El suero de quesería no solamente constituye un problema ambiental; también constituye un recurso que no se puede dejar de aprovechar. El desafío consiste en una explotación más eficaz y en una reducción del impacto ambiental, lo que implica optimizar los procesos de producción del queso. El objetivo de la investigación fue principalmente separar los compuestos orgánicos utilizando un método electroquímico. El método identificado fue la electrocoagulación utilizando electrodos de aluminio y fierro  en una celda electrolítica. Los resultados obtenidos de la experimentación en un reactor piloto de 2,5 litros, ha permitido demostrar que el método utilizado resulta ser muy efectivo en el proceso de electrocoagulación del suero de quesería para la eliminación de contaminantes. Los iones necesarios para la coagulación en un proceso químico son aportados por los electrodos tales como Al+3 y Fe+3 que provocan el efecto deseado de la coalescencia de las partículas, con ayuda de la electrólisis del agua que desprende hidrógeno y oxígeno. Al caracterizar  el suero se puede observar la presencia de: 556 mg/l de SS, 36,651 mg/l  DBO, 80,140 mg/l DQO, 267 mg/l P  y 1,070 mg/l de aceites y grasas. Se logró la separación de de la materia orgánica del suero de quesería por el método de electrocoagulación a nivel de laboratorio; siendo 2 cm la distancia óptima entre electrodos, 6 voltios a un tiempo de 10 minutos para DBO5, DQO y aceites y grasas. Después del proceso de electrocoagulación es posible utilizar el agua en procesos industriales en la planta, evitando la contaminación ambiental.
Featuring Knowledge as the Means to the Essence of Creation: An Islamic Exposition
Authors: Muhammad Usman Jimoh
Published: January 2022

The paper dwells on the crucial role of knowledge in the life of man. Knowledge is presented as a means to realization of the purpose for which man came into the world which is “to worship God. Knowledge as classified in the paper has two branches of which are Fard ayn (knowledge which is incumbent on everyone) and Fard Kifayah (knowledge which is needed to be acquired by some and not everyone). The paper buttresses the necessity of the two categories of knowledge towards attaining the desire to worship God accordingly. Viewing the fact that after the creation of man, knowledge was the first endowment given to man and the first promise made to him on his way to the earth one is bound to believe in the necessity of knowledge towards realisation of the purpose of creation. Relying on the fact that the first revelation emphasises on the search for knowledge; the stipulation for acquisition of knowledge before exhibition of actions coupled with the relevance of professional knowledge to ease of life and worship, it is justifiable to conclude that knowledge is a means towards realization of the essence of creation. This assertion is greatly reinforced with the aid of relevant Qur’anic text and prophetic traditions. The paper recommends that parents should ensure that their children receive sound knowledge of Islam as well as any other aspects of the knowledge that is Fard kifayah.
Comparative Study of The Concept of Religiusity in The Western and Islamic Perspective
Authors: Falikah Tri Yaumil
Published: January 2022

Religiusitas sering dikaitkan dengan perwujudan keyakinan atau agama dari seseorang maupun kelompok baik dalam bentuk penghayatan maupun pengamalan ajaran-ajarannya. Seringkali para peneliti menggunakan aspek-aspek yang mengambil dari teori Barat (Glock & Stark) di mana dalam proses perumusannya berpijak pada teori dari agama tertentu (kristen). Seiring berjalannya waktu, adanya kekhususan pada responden dari kalangan muslim, maka teori dari Barat tersebut oleh salah seorang peneliti diadaptasi ke dalam teori religiusitas yang lebih bernuansa Islami. Namun, Hal tersebut mendapat sorotan dari peneliti lain terutama peneliti yang menginginkan adanya rumusan tersendiri terkait dengan aspek religiusitas dalam pandangan Islam bukan sekedar adaptasi dari teori Barat kemudian dicari persamaan dengan Islam akan tetapi lebih menekankan pada ciri khas daripada Islam itu sendiri untuk mengukur tingkat religiusitas para penganutnya. Religiusitas Islami yang dipakai selama ini merupakan teori yang mengadaptasi dari teori Barat. Konsep religiusitas ini digunakan untuk mengukur tingkat religiusitas umat Muslim dan sudah diujikan pada responden dengan jumlah yang banyak serta dimodifikasi dengan kajian-kajian yang lebih Islami.

Mycotoxigenic fungi contamination of grains and peanuts from open markets in
Kelantan, Malaysia
Authors: Salisu B. , Anua S.M. , Wan Ishak W.R. , Mazlan N.
Published: January 2022

The warm weather and high relative humidity in Malaysia are ideal for the survival and
proliferation of mycotoxigenic fungi leading to a high rate of stored product
contamination. This study was conducted to enumerate and characterise the
mycotoxigenic fungi associated with commonly consumed food grains in Kelantan,
Malaysia. The fungal bioburden and fungal identification from forty-four composite food
samples comprising 11 samples each of maize, wheat, rice, and peanuts from open
markets in Kelantan, Malaysia, were determined using standard mycological techniques.
A total of 115 mould fungal isolates belonging to 12 species were isolated, of which
Aspergillus flavus (17.39%), A. versicolor (13.04%), A. felis (12.17%), Neoscytalidium
dimidiatum (11.3%), Penicillium cheresanum (11.3%) and P. chrysogenum (8.7%), were
predominant. Peanuts were the most contaminated (9.7×105 ± 1.5×105 CFU/g) followed by
maize (7.5×105 ± 1.8×106 CFU/g), wheat (1.9×105 ± 2.6×105 CFU/g), and rice (9.9×104 ±
1.5×105 CFU/g). The levels of the mycotoxigenic fungi in peanut, maize, and wheat were
above the permissible limit of 102 CFU/g set by the Malaysian Ministry of Health and 102
to 105 CFU/g set by the International Commission for Microbiological Specification for
Foods, signifying that they are unsafe for use as food or feed ingredients. Hence, there is a
need for more stringent control measures.
Changes in some nutritional components of Vigna racemosa as influenced by
hydrothermal processing techniques
Authors: Ojo M.A. , Ade-Omowaye B.I.O.
Published: January 2022

Vigna racemosa is an underutilised hard-to-cook legume in Southwest Nigeria. The seed
of V. racemosa was subjected to varying degrees of hydration levels (0%, 10%, 25%, 50%
75% and 100%) before treatment with four hydrothermal techniques, atmospheric boiling,
atmospheric steaming, pressure boiling and pressure steaming. The highest percentage
reduction of 65.56% in cooking time was achieved at a 100% hydration level when the
seeds were processed by boiling at elevated pressure. All the hydrothermal techniques had
a significant effect (p<0.05) on the protein content of the seeds. Hydration of the seeds to
100% followed by boiling at elevated pressure caused the least reduction in the protein
and mineral element contents. The seed is a good source of important nutrients that are not
degraded beyond the levels necessary to meet physiological needs after processing.
Widening the scope of utilisation of this legume seed will make critically important
nutrients such as protein more available for the teeming populations in developing
countries at affordable prices, and thus, alleviating the problem of protein-energy
malnutrition (PEM).
Essays on Financial Markets
Authors:   , Liu Pengfei
Published: January 2022

This thesis consists of five chapters. Chapter 1 is the preliminaries. Chapter 2 to chapter 4 are the three main chapters of this thesis, which covers the U.S. market, international market, and the Chinese market, respectively. Chapter 5 is the discussion.

Chapter 1 is the preliminaries. It introduces the setting and motivations for the three topics covered in this thesis.

Chapter 2 investigates how equity exchange-traded fund (ETF) ownership affects the cost of debt. I find that, by facilitating short-selling activities to execute disciplinary effects, equity ETF ownership decreases a firm's cost of debt. This negative association between equity ETF ownership and the cost of debt is more pronounced for firms with weaker information environments and lower bond ratings. The disciplinary effect works through a more active short-selling market provided by equity ETF ownership. However, I fail to establish the corporate governance channel, which is consistent with Schmidt and Fahlenbrach (2017) and Heath, Macciocchi, Michaely, and Ringgenberg (2021).. Those results are also robust to endogeneity.

Chapter 3 studies the predictive power of the trend strategy in the international stock market. Using data from 49 markets, I find that a trend signal exploiting the short-,intermediate-, and long-term price information can predict stock returns cross-sectionally in the international market. The significance of the trend strategy is associated with market-level characteristics such as macroeconomic conditions, culture, and the information environment. The trend premium is more pronounced in markets with a more advanced macroeconomic status, a higher level of information uncertainty and individualism, and better accessibility to foreign investors. Nevertheless, the trend strategy only outperforms the momentum strategy in a relatively short horizon.

Chapter 4 investigates whether margin-trading in the Chinese stock market reflects information or sentiment. At the aggregate level, I find no evidence of information-driven or sentiment-driven margin-trading behavior. At the individual stock level, both information-driven and sentiment-driven margin-trading exists, which are relevant to firm characteristics. I also find the likelihood of sentiment-driven margin-trading significantly declined after the regulator enforced tighter rules for margin-trading in 2015.

Chapter 5 summarizes the main findings of the three topics, discusses the implications of the findings, and points out the future direction for research.
Be Muslim Buy from Muslims: Impact of Retailers Religious Orientations on Consumers Purchasing Patterns
Authors: Amin Saba , Safdar Muhammad Nabeel , Ali Qamar
Published: January 2022

Purpose: This study investigates the impact of retailers’ religious affiliation and religiosity on consumers’ purchasing patterns. The moderated mediation model of this study contemplates a) the mediating role of buying motives of consumers based on thoughts, feelings, emotions, which help them make decisions, and b) the moderating role of intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity dimensions.

Design/Methodology/Approach: Data were obtained from consumers from metropolitan cities of Pakistan. Simple Linear Regression and Pearson Correlation Coefficients were used to investigate the relationships with the help of SPSS and AMOS software. ArcMap was used to represent the selected sample size.

Findings: Drawing on the belief-congruence theory, the findings of this study suggest that religious affiliation of the retailer (RAR) has a significantly positive impact on consumer purchase intentions (CPI) and that consumer buying motives (CBM) have a strong mediating role between RAR and CPI. The study also reveals that the impact of CBM on CPI is stronger in consumers with high intrinsic religiosity. However, data analysis shows that consumers’ extrinsic religiosity is not a significant moderator of the relationship between consumers’ buying motives and purchase intentions.

Implications/Originality/Value: The findings of this study can help retailers make better policies to attract consumers and sustain their businesses.

Published: January 2022

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to analyze the first hand data regarding intimacies between government entities and government audit institution of Pakistan, to see its impact on the quality.

Design/Methodology/Approach:

Qualitative research design is used to explore the concept base on theoretical saturation technique.

Findings: The results revealed by default presence of social ties among interactive agents. It further explores indirect relationship between audit quality and social interactions in the presence of petty corruption due to familiarity, unwarranted mutual trust and favoritism however this relationship is shifted toward direct relationship in the presence of material corruption due to fear of losing good reputation, loss of job, fear of departmental inquiry, threat of floating your weaknesses before your rival clique.

Implications/Originality/Value: The results presented in this paper should therefore be of great interest to government, regulators and standard-setters charged with developing accounting standards to improve the audit quality of reporting information related to existing government auditing setup.

Purpose: The nature and extent of religious and social challenges posed by the madaris have been studied by scholars on a micro level, but there is a need of methodologically investigating of the problems on a macro and global levels by using a multi-disciplinary and collaborative approach to readdress these issues. The purpose of this research paper is to find out the role of for causing militancy in Pakistan and to recommend measures/strategies for de-radicalization in Pakistan.

Design/Methodology/Approach: Agenda setting, priming and farming theories were used in this study. Qualitative content analysis method was used in this study to analyze the editorial policy of these three newspapers.

Findings: The results revealed that all these three newspapers gave significant coverage to the peace talks issue but Nation gave more coverage to the issue. Findings also revealed that Dawn and The News, most of the time showed neutral behavior but tilted towards unfavorable position regarding peace talks. Nation showed strongly unfavorable behavior regarding peace talks.

Implications/Originality/Value: So it is concluded that the government should take steps to take madaris in main stream education system in Pakistan. The funding should be checked and audited.

Fingerprint Database Enhancement by Applying Interpolation and Regression Techniques for IoT-based Indoor Localization
Authors: Suroso Dwi Joko , Adiyatma Farid Yuli Martin , Cherntanomwong Panarat , Sooraksa Pitikhate
Published: January 2022

Most applied indoor localization is based on distance and fingerprint techniques. The distance-based technique converts specific parameters to a distance, while the fingerprint technique stores parameters as the fingerprint database. The widely used Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, e.g., Wi-Fi and ZigBee, provide the localization parameters, i.e., received signal strength indicator (RSSI). The fingerprint technique advantages over the distance-based method as it straightforwardly uses the parameter and has better accuracy. However, the burden in database reconstruction in terms of complexity and cost is the disadvantage of this technique. Some solutions, i.e., interpolation, image-based method, machine learning (ML)-based, have been proposed to enhance the fingerprint methods. The limitations are complex and evaluated only in a single environment or simulation. This paper proposes applying classical interpolation and regression to create the synthetic fingerprint database using only a relatively sparse RSSI dataset. We use bilinear and polynomial interpolation and polynomial regression techniques to create the synthetic database and apply our methods to the 2D and 3D environments. We obtain an accuracy improvement of 0.2m for 2D and 0.13m for 3D by applying the synthetic database. Adding the synthetic database can tackle the sparsity issues, and the offline fingerprint database construction will be less burden. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-SP1-012 Full Text: PDF

Authors: Vu Cong Hoa , Le Thi Hieu Thao , Nguyen Phuoc Khanh Huy
Published: January 2022

Crash-dynamics research has always concentrated significantly in the safety, survivability of passengers in a car crash. To identify the capability of energy absorption of a crash box, a thin-walled structure will be modeled and simulated by ABAQUS software. Investigate the influence of material, cross-sectional, thickness factors on the energy absorption capacity of the tube, using MCDM – Multi-Criteria Decision-Making to get the best option and testing the improvement while filling the tube with Foam material. In this study, beside the cross-sectional, aluminum alloys and steel materials and thickness are factors that influence the energy absorption evaluation criteria, the foam material with difference density are surveyed to compare effectiveness between the foam-filled and hollow crashboxes. The results show that the folds of the foam-filled tube after deformation along the compressive direction will be more continuous and stable. More, the higher foam density, the greater the energy absorption. This prevents the crashbox from deviating from the direction of the force, help directing the collapse of the tube, thereby improving energy absorption without significantly increasing the weight of the structure.

Authors: Le Xuan Dai , Pham Tuan Cuong , Nguyen Thi Hong Van , Tran Nhat Minh , Dang Van Vinh
Published: January 2022

In this paper we consider two matrix equations that involve the weighted geometric mean. We use the fixed point theorem in the cone of positive definite matrices to prove the existence of a unique positive definite solution. In addition, we study the multi-step stationary iterative method for those equations and prove the corresponding convergence. A fidelity measure for quantum states based on the matrix geometric mean is introduced as an application of matrix equation.

Today, freight is an extremely important industry for the world we are living. Fast transportation, large volume...will optimize the cost, time and effort. Besides, ensuring the products safety is a matter of concern. During transporting, it is inevitable that the vibration caused by the engine, rough road surface...the cargo inside can be damaged. Automobile industries have prime importance to vibration testing. Sine vibration testing is performed when we have been given with only one frequency at given time instant. Trend to perform random vibration testing has been increased in recent times. As random vibration considers all excited frequencies in defined spectrum at known interval of time, it gives real-time data of vibration severities. The vibration severity is expressed in terms of Power Spectral Density (PSD). KLT box is an industrial stacking container conforming to the VDA 4500 standard that was defined by German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) for the automotive industry. The aim of this paper is study about random vibration and power spectral density analysis, how it can be used to predict the impact of hash road to the KLT box on container / truck during transportation. Finite element model is developed in ANSYS, modal analysis and random vibration analysis were done.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes mellitus that causes retinal damage that can lead to vision loss if not detected and treated promptly. The common diagnosis stages of the disease take time, effort, and cost and can be misdiagnosed. In the recent period with the explosion of artificial intelligence, deep learning has become the most popular tool with high performance in many fields, especially in the analysis and classification of medical images. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is more widely used as a deep learning method in medical imaging analysis with highly effective. In this paper, the five-stage image of modern DR (healthy, mild, moderate, severe, and proliferative) can be detected and classified using the deep learning technique. After cross-validation training and testing on the corresponding 5,590-image dataset, a pre-MobileNetV2 training model is proposed in classifying stages of diabetic retinopathy. The average accuracy of the model achieved was 93.89% with the precision of 94.00%, recall 92.00% and f1-score 90.00%. The corresponding thermal image is also given to help experts for evaluating the influence of the retina in each different stage.

Low back pain is a common disease. A common cause of this problem is a herniated disc in the lumbar spine. Lumbar disc herniation represents the displacement of the disc (annular fibrosis or medullary nuclei). While most cases, the pain will disappear in a few days to a few weeks; however, it can last for three months or more. Detection and diagnosis are the two most important tasks in a computer-aided diagnostic system. In this article, we use images taken from the results of the MRI imaging of the patient. Through the use of image inversion to highlight the position of degenerative discs. This result wishes to provide a simple and inexpensive diagnostic image processing method to help doctors quickly determine the degree of disc herniation, the status of lumbar discs, they can give the appropriate treatment to the patient.

Segmentation is one of the most common methods for analyzing and processing medical images, assisting doctors in making accurate diagnoses by providing detailed information about the required body part. However, segmenting medical images presents a number of challenges, including the need for medical professionals to be trained, the fact that it is time-consuming and prone to errors. As a result, it appears that an automated medical image segmentation system is required. Deep learning algorithms have recently demonstrated superior performance for segmentation tasks, particularly semantic segmentation networks that provide a pixel-level understanding of images. U- Net for image segmentation is one of the modern complex networks in the field of medical imaging; several segmentation networks have been built on its foundation with the advancements of Recurrent Residual convolutional units and the construction of recurrent residual convolutional neural network based on U-Net (R2U-Net). R2U-Net is used to perform trachea and bronchial segmentation on a dataset of 36,000 images. With a variety of experiments, the proposed segmentation resulted in a dice-coefficient of 0.8394 on the test dataset. Finally, a number of research issues are raised, indicating the need for future improvements.
