Ontology-Based Traceability System for Halal Status of Flavour
Authors: Mohamad Hashim Siti Farhana , Salim Juhana , Mohd Noah Shahrul Azman Mohd Noah , Wan Mustapha Wan Aida
Published: February 2024

Recent market survey on halal products indicated an increase in the demand for halal products throughout the world. In Malaysia, JAKIM is the body responsible in matters relating to approve the halal certification. However, the process of issuing the halal certificate is time consuming. This study further identified the issues and contributing factors in the delay in approval for halal certification application by reviewing related works and conducted a preliminary interview with the JAKIM authorities. The reasons for the delay in issuing halal certification is the constraints in determining halal status of flavours due to the absence of halal certificate when auditors were processing the documentation for applying certification. In addition, the inconsistent use of terms among the food producers and the auditors makes it difficult to trace halal status of flavouring. However these factors are isolated. None of the studies have clearly depicted the interrelationship among factors and constructs. This paper therefore aims to theoretically integrate the factors and constructs as a conceptual framework. The conceptual framework shows the relationship of the concepts: halal certification process, halal concept, as well as reference sources and the concept of traceability using an ontology-based semantic web technology approach to trace the halal status of ingredients, especially in the chemical properties section consisting of various reference sources. The conceptual framework could then be used as a basis to design a framework for tracing flavouring information to accelerate the halal certification.

Entre el exilio de Reinaldo Arenas y Néstor Perlongher
Authors: Félix Pichardo Ana Lilia
Published: February 2024

La trayectoria de Reinaldo Arenas y Néstor Pelongher es desde diversas perspectivas comparable. Exiliados ambos por la persecución en sus países a causa de su identidad política y sexual, el acogimiento de cada uno de ellos en los países de exilio y la recuperación contemporánea de sus figuras diverge ampliamente. El estigma contra los escritores e intelectuales cubanos, que se exiliaron por diversas razones a partir de 1959, les colocó en una posición que les distancia de sus pares sudamericanos. El ostracismo al interior de la isla se replicó en los espacios políticos y culturales en que se congregaban los exiliados sudamericanos. Hago una comparativa entre los exilios de Arenas y Perlongher, con base en el análisis de sus cartas personales, textos ensayísticos y literarios, confrontando esos archivos con fuentes históricas que permitan al lector dimensionar la disputa que ambos escritores sostienen contra el poder del Estado. Se trata de poner en relieve, también, cómo las vicisitudes de ambos escritores dentro de los movimientos de izquierda o revolucionarios se relacionan con su identidad/orientación sexual. La confrontación de Arenas es contra el poder simbólico de la Revolución y sus apoyadores fuera de Cuba. El distanciamiento de Perlongher de cierta izquierda revolucionaria se desdobla en una militancia queer o marica, que le permiten un arraigo positivo en Brasil, mientras que Arenas se encuentra constantemente en el umbral del no ser comunista y no ser tampoco un escritor burgués proyankee.

Clinical profile and growth pattern of children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia attending endocrine clinic, in a tertiary care center, South India
Authors: Jaleel Shermin
Published: February 2024

Background: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of autosomal recessive disorders that result from the deficiency of one of several enzymes involved in the steroidogenic pathway for cortisol or aldosterone biosynthesis. Glucocorticoid replacement therapy, though largely effective in managing crises and limiting virilization, is far from perfect.

Aims and Objectives: The aims and objectives of the study are to study the clinical profile and association between type of disease and glucocorticoid dosage with the growth of children with CAH attending pediatric and endocrinology outpatient department in a tertiary care hospital.

Materials and Methods: This is a prospective observational study. All children who were newly diagnosed and old cases of CAH were consecutively recruited. Background details of the patient including sociodemographic data were obtained by a structured pro forma. Medical history and details of treatment were obtained from previous records. Patients were then followed up 6 monthly for 1 year and height and height velocity were obtained.

Results: This study included 33 children (23 salt wasting [SW] and 10 simple virilizing [SV] CAH). Mean age was 6.3 ± 4.3 years. Among SW CAH, while 83.3% of male babies presented with adrenal crises while only 20% of the female babies went for a crisis, because most of them were diagnosed by the presence of ambiguous genitalia. Among SV patients, all females presented with ambiguous genitalia and males presented with precocious puberty. The overall height standard deviation was 0.8 ± 1.2 with a greater growth faltering in those taking higher doses of hydrocortisone. Growth was compromised more in SW CAH than in SV CAH.

Conclusion: Growth in CAH is less compared to normal population and many factors including glucocorticoid dose and type of disease determine the growth and final height.
Comprehensive analysis of jaundice in pregnancy: Evaluating maternal and fetal outcomes – A 3-year retrospective study in a tertiary care center
Authors: Varadharajan Reethu , T Veena , K Smitha , Patil Bhagyashree
Published: February 2024

Background: Jaundice during pregnancy poses significant risks to both maternal and fetal health. This retrospective study aimed to assess the incidence, causes, and outcomes of jaundice among pregnant women admitted to a tertiary care center over a 3-year period.

Aims and Objectives: The primary objectives were to identify the incidence of jaundice, analyze its causes, and evaluate the maternal and fetal outcomes in cases of jaundice during pregnancy.

Materials and Methods: Conducted as a case series with clinical correlation, the study spanned 3 years (2021–2023) at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kempegowda Institute of Medical Science, Bangalore. Data from parturition books and case sheets were collected after institutional ethical committee approval. Investigations included a complete blood count, liver function tests, coagulation profile, and serology. Fetal and maternal outcomes were recorded.

Results: Out of 9 cases, 7 were diagnosed with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (IHCP), while 1 case each involved hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet syndrome, and unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia specific to pregnancy. IHCP is correlated with adverse perinatal outcomes, including meconium-stained amniotic fluid and fetal distress. Cesarean sections were prevalent (58%), often indicated by previous lower segment cesarean sections and non-progression of labor.

Conclusion: The study underscores the substantial association between IHCP and adverse perinatal outcomes, emphasizing the heightened prevalence of cesarean sections in pregnancies complicated by jaundice. It highlights the necessity for vigilant monitoring and tailored management strategies to mitigate risks and ensure favorable maternal and fetal outcomes in cases of jaundice during pregnancy.
Effect of Kapalbhati pranayama on peak expiratory flow rate in healthy individuals
Authors: Kekan Dinkar
Published: February 2024

Background: Pranayama practice has been shown to have a positive impact on respiratory functions. There is a lot of research documenting the long-term effects of pranayama training, but there are few studies documenting the immediate impact of pranayama on bodily processes.

Aims and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether practicing pranayama has any short-term effect on peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR).

Materials and Methods: For this study, a total of 60 male high school teachers were enlisted. There were two groups made out of the participants: One was the study group, and the other was the control group. For 8 weeks, the study group was required to do Kapalbhati pranayama. In both groups, the PEFR was measured. For statistical analysis, a Paired t-test was used, and P < 0.05 was considered the level of significance.

Results: After 8 weeks, a substantial rise in PEFR was seen in the study group.

Conclusion: An increase in PEFR indicates that lung function has improved. This might be because Kapalbhati pranayama trains the respiratory apparatus to empty and fill more fully and effectively.

The goal of cyber security is to protect the internet against online attacks. One of the most frequently use dterminologies in cybersecurity is “cyber-threats,” which refers to the use of information and communication technology (ICT) for hostile purposes by a range of criminals. The complexity of cyber security architecture make shigher safety measures necessary to guard against system flaws and potential global catastrophes. One of the most important security issues today is cyberattack. A cyber breach could make nuclear systems safety and security safeguards ineffective, which is especially important for nuclear systems. India, which has a sizable and developing nuclear programme, has a similar situation. Over the past few decades, governments, including India, have invested a significant amount of time and money in building effective physical safeguards for nuclear installations, which has raised the risk of a cyber or hybrid attack. The risk of hacking, disruption, or sabotage risesas nuclear infrastructure becomes more and more reliant on cyber technology. Any cyberattack’s antagonistic goalis to take advantage of a system’s weaknesses in order to take over, operate, and keep a presence on the target system. Designing standards that can accommodate both immediate and long-term needs is crucial due to the sensitivity of nuclear materials and infrastructure. The study’s objective is to discuss the proposed arrangement of cyber security in nuclear domain in India.

Brazil was the first South American country to report a confirmed case of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), on February 26, 2020, in the state of São Paulo. Maranhão was one of the states in Brazil where the pandemic picked up speed early. Thus, the objective of this study is to report the initial experience regarding the epidemiological and clinical aspects of COVID-19 in the State of Maranhão. This is a cross-sectional study and the data used come from a database provided by the Central Laboratory of the State of Maranhão – LACEN, with the approval of the Research Ethics Committee of the State University of Maranhão according to CAAE: 32171220.0.0000.5087. The initial sample included data from 2,336 individuals, but 646 patients were excluded because they did not contain information about epidemiological data, thus totaling a final sample of 1,690 individuals. For data archiving and statistical analysis, SPSS ® version 25.0 software was used. The final sample consisted of 1690 individuals, of whom 64.9% (n=1098) tested positive for COVID-19, 52.2% (n=882) were women, 82.8% (n=1374) came from the public health sector and 82.3% (n=1400) from the metropolitan region of the state. The highest prevalence of positive cases for COVID-19 was in the state capital, with 86.5% (n=950). It was found that most patients depended directly on the unified health system as a form of priority care, which led to a strong collapse since they were not prepared for the demand arising from the pandemic. Emphasizing the importance of investments in the Unified Health System, as well as the supervision of these resources.
Las asociaciones sociales, una realidad a la búsqueda de conceptuación y visualización
Authors: Herrera Gómez Manuel , Ayuso Sánchez Luis
Published: February 2024

Dentro de la «galaxia organizativa» del Tercer Sector, las asociaciones sociales, aunque escasamente visibilizadas por las Ciencias Sociales, constituyen formas genuinas emergentes de esta esfera. En estas páginas tratamos de dar luz a esta realidad; en primer lugar, delimitando el propio concepto de asociación social, haciendo especial énfasis en su autonomía y en las dinámicas y procesos que son capaces de generar. En segundo lugar, nos acercamos al contexto europeo en el que se insertan, con factores estructurales y culturales que influyen en su desarrollo. Como formas asociativas originales, se diferencian de otros sujetos del privado social en función de su finalidad, campos y modalidades de intervención, recursos, organización interna y cultura asociativa. Aquí se analizarán todos estos aspectos.
Voting without ideology. Evidence from Spain (1979-2008)
Authors: Calle Luis de la , Martínez Álvaro , Orriols Lluis
Published: February 2024

Although non-ideological voters make up a considerable share of the electorate, the literature has systematically overlooked their voting behaviour. Using Spanish electoral data from the 1979-2008 electoral period, we seek to identify the alternative cues ?in the absence of ideology? these voters may use when casting their ballot. We do not find that evaluations of the incumbent?s performance have a greater influence on non-ideological voters, as the retrospective voting literature suggests. Nor do we find that other shortcuts such as candidate evaluations or party identification are used more by this group when they vote. Instead, our results indicate that non-ideological voters have exchanged the traditional ideological shortcut for simple proincumbent voting as a decision rule.
La movilidad social de los emigrantes españoles en Europa
Authors: Alaminos Antonio , Albert María Carmen , Óscar Santacreu Óscar Santacreu
Published: February 2024

La migración española de la segunda mitad del siglo XX se ha caracterizado en un primer momento por su carácter masivo y poco cualificado, seguido por un interregno de procesos de retorno y finalmente por una migración estable, no masiva pero altamente cualificada. La atención prestada a la inmigración masiva que recibe España a finales del siglo XX relegó a un segundo plano esta emigración cualificada de españoles. En este artículo se considera la relación entre movilidad espacial (migración de españoles) y su posible consecuencia sobre la movilidad social ascendente que experimentan. Para ello se utilizan los datos procedentes de la encuesta internacional EIMSS (European Internal Migrations Social Survey) y los procedimientos de escalamiento de clase social basados en la ocupación de Goldthorpe. El análisis se complementa con una simulación sobre la movilidad de clase, con la finalidad de visualizar y comparar los efectos sobre la movilidad social de la emigración de españoles a Francia, Alemania, Italia y Gran Bretaña.

Pedagogical approach of grade 7 teachers in teaching the learning competency of integers
Authors: Acosta Cristina P. , Soliba Bernadette L.
Published: February 2024

This research addresses the intricate challenges of teaching integers in middle school mathematics. Focusing on grade 7 teachers, the study explores strategies to enhance integers' teaching-learning competency, revealing nuanced approaches employed by three teachers. Through qualitative methods, specifically in-depth interviews, the research uses an exploratory approach to unravel the underlying strategies shaping the teaching of integers. Key findings underscore integers as a formidable learning competency for grade 7 students, particularly in operations like addition and subtraction. The most effective pedagogical approach, encapsulated in the 3Rs — Reaching, Representing, Recommending — involves drill exercises for foundational concepts, integrating manipulatives like algebra tiles and coloured tiles, and advocating for continuous manipulative use with persistent drill exercises and integrating technology. These identified themes emphasize the need for a uniform understanding among teachers during discussions to ensure a cohesive and effective teaching strategy. Recognizing these strategies is crucial for addressing the existing learning gap and advancing grade 7 students' competency in dealing with integers. The research contributes valuable insights to the academic discourse, offering effective pedagogical practices and fostering a more robust foundation for mathematical understanding at the middle school level.

Authors: Dobrocsi Szilvia
Published: February 2024

A sértett a büntetőeljárásunk mai felfogásában fontos szereplő, akinek jogait és érdekeit az eljárásban résztvevő hatóságok védik és érvényesítik. Ez azonban nem volt mindig így. A sértettre vonatkozó nemzetközi és hazai szabályozás hosszú utat járt be. Bár kezdetben a sértett és környezete aktívan részt vállalhatott az elkövető szankcionálására irányuló eljárásban, az állam büntetőjogi monopóliumának megerősödésével, majd kizárólagossá válásával a sértett jogai jelentősen csorbultak, majd szinte elenyésztek. Csak a XX.század utolsó évtizedeiben indult el a sértett rehabilitálása, pozíciójának, jogainak megerősítése. A jogalkotó ismét figyelemmel fordult a bűncselekmények áldozatai felé, és mind európai uniós szinten, mind a hazai szabályozásban kialakította a sértetti jogérvényesítés újabb eszközeit, valamint a sértett jogainak és érdekeinek védelmére irányuló komplex rendszert. E jogtörténeti áttekintés ezt a folyamatot mutatja be.

The study focuses on the various structures and meanings of the zonation policy, including the New Family Card (KKB), blessings from the school environment (BLS), Keponakan/Niece and Dulur Dewe/Relatives (KDD), Gandheng Gedek or Gandheng Wall (GG/GT), informal entrustment from special persons in government (TWP), special conversations, and special mandate letters from regional government policy makers. According to Max Weber's theory, parents' social actions include taking action with awareness, ensuring they have something right according to the PPDB policy provisions, using methods and techniques, restricting actions to a predetermined time, selecting and assessing actions, hoping for moral principles when making decisions, and learning about social relations between parents and the PPDB committee.
Organic food and its health benefits for humans and how it differs from regular food : Review.
Authors:   Dep. Biomedical Engineering, College of Engineering, Al-Nahrain University, Jadriya, Baghdad, Iraq., Ahmed Enas Shehab , khalaf Rawaa Adnan ,   Biotechnology Research Center/Al-Nahrain University,Iraq.
Published: February 2024

As public awareness of organic food products' advantages for health, social convenience, the environment, and sustainable development has grown, so has their knowledge of their benefits. Gaining understanding of consumer views is crucial for the sector as it continues to grow. The current study was methodically created to assess the strength of the data supporting the benefits of feeding organic foods to health. Foods labeled as organic are produced utilizing only natural fertilizers. The regulations around organic animal production are extensive and impact various aspects such as nutrition, reproduction, housing, medical care, and treatment. Additionally, these foods are not produced using genetically modified pesticides or insecticides. Animals raised in organic farms are given more space to live in than those raised in conventional systems, and they are also required to consume organic feed, straw bedding, and roughage. The fatty acid composition of milk, eggs, and meat is significantly influenced by the animal diet. Breed selection is used in connection to animal health and wellbeing; proper diet, husbandry, and management all contribute to illness prevention and improved animal welfare. Antimicrobial durability is a global public health concern these days, and many international health organizations recognize that it poses a threat to the current health care system. Thus, the market's demand for organic products and their simplicity of use has grown over the past several years, contributing significantly to the economy. Because organic food is healthier and less likely to contain chemicals, many people are beginning to choose it over conventional food. As a result, raising consumer knowledge of the value of organic products and supporting their production is crucial for the growth of organic farming and the production of pure water. The market for organic food products is growing quickly because consumers believe that organic food may be healthier than conventional food and has a superior nutritional profile.

Authors:   Ștefan cel Mare University, Suceava, Romania, Bores Ana-Maria
Published: February 2024

In the current context, due to the changes taking place in the national business environment, we can also observe certain changes in the business environment of credit institutions, which are forced to take certain decisions with a direct or indirect impact on the profitability of the institutions in question. Therefore, the aim of this research is to identify the factors that generate banking performance, as measured by return on assets (ROA). The data collected from Raiffeisen Bank Romania's newsletters in the period 2007-2022., were processed econometrically with the statistical software SPSS using a simple linear regression in order to assess the existence of a dependency relationship between the dependent variable represented by Return on Assets (ROA) and a series of statistical regressors, represented by: number of banking units, own funds ratio, number of employees, ROBOR index, monetary policy interest rate and digital customers. The results of the study revealed the existence of a causal relationship between ROA and the chosen statistical regressors, and based on these correlations, the most optimal decisions that can contribute to the improvement and efficiency of the banking unit's activity were identified.

A primary factor in determining the well-being of the population is economic growth, as this indicator is used to evaluate the success of the development of an economy. This article investigates the effects of macroeconomic indicators on economic growth in Central and Eastern European countries in a panel for the period 2000 to 2022.At the same time, we want to highlight the most current studies in the field with reference to the evolution of macroeconomic indicators with an impact on economic growth, in a dynamic and unpredictable context of socio-economic turmoil, as if more significant in the last 3 (three) years. The set of macroeconomic indicators was subjected to least squares (OLS) regression to establish the degree of relationship between them and economic growth in the selected sample. The regression results show that a set of variables (inflation rate, real interest rates, domestic credit granted to the private sector, current account balance, respectively government spending) have a negative and significant impact on economic growth, while trade openness has a positive impact. These findings underline the need to implement sound macroeconomic policies that promote sustainable economic development.

Since emergency departments (EDs) are known to be high-risk environments for occupational violence, violence against hospital emergency department (ED) nurses is a serious concern worldwide. A systematic literature review of the variables influencing nurse aggression in emergency departments was the main objective of this study. Ten English-language studies that were published between 2008 and 2022 were included in the review of the literature. The researcher used SpringerLink, Science Direct, Google Scholar, ERIC, and Academic Search Elite to conduct a thorough literature review on the research problem as it was defined. The literature review revealed several factors that affect violence towards nurses in emergency rooms. Rarely have prior research examined all aspects of nurse hostility as well as efficient preventative strategies across different medical wards. The study looked at the prevalence, kinds, causes, and effects of workplace violence in emergency departments. It also looked into themes like the origins of violence, incident management, and institutional violence prevention measures, as well as population and occupational risk variables related to workplace violence in EDs. This thorough assessment is essential since it will increase nurses' professionalism, career advancement, and confidence, ultimately resulting in patient satisfaction.

Not so many variations of the muscles belonging to the flexor muscle group of the forearm are described in comparison to the tendons of extensor muscle group of the forearm. During routine dissection in the section hall of the Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology in Medical University of Sofia we came across a very interesting variation of palmaris longus muscle and the tendons of flexor carpi ulnaris muscle. We observed the division of the tendon of palmaris longus into two wide and flat tendon bellies called lateral and medial. These bellies formed a Y-shaped figure. The lateral tendon belly passed over the upper part of the flexor retinaculum and inserted into the palmar aponeurosis. The medial tendon however ran deeper than the lateral one and the beginning of the palmar aponeurosis and finally reached the flexor retinaculum where it was inserted. We also came across the presence of additional tendon belly belonging to the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle. That additional belly arose from the pisiform like the pisohamate and pisometacarpal ligaments, then ran deeper than usual and finally joined the fourth metacarpal bone.

Published: February 2024

The Powerwall, an innovative home battery powered by solar energy, is gaining popularity in the United States and Australia due to its ability to provide complete power to homes and serve as a backup during electrical supply interruptions. Recently, lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology has received significant attention from the industry and academia, standing out for offering greater energy capacity, power density, efficiency, and lower self-discharge rate compared to other technologies such as NiCd and NiMH batteries. Initially, this research aimed to model the Li-ion cells of the Powerwall using the equivalent circuit model (ECM). However, a detailed review of the literature indicated that a data-based approach, employing Deep Learning (DL) techniques or deep neural networks, represents the state of the art in the field. DL, a subset of machine learning and part of Artificial Intelligence (AI), offers notable advantages over ECM, including: i) high precision in estimating the non-linear relationships between voltage, current, temperature, and hidden variables such as the State of Charge (SOC); ii) the ability of a single artificial neural network to model the behavior of a Li-ion cell across different temperature ranges (example: from 0°C to 40°C); and iii) overcoming the challenge of identifying ECM parameters. Therefore, with the advancement of the research, the objective was updated to investigate and develop DL models, specifically feed-forward neural networks, for estimating the SOC of lithium-ion batteries in Powerwalls. The results obtained focus on the precise estimation of the SOC of Li-ion cells, underlining the efficacy and innovation of this methodological approach.
