Published: May 2022

Type 2 diabetes mellitus affects millions of people worldwide. it is a disease considered a major public health problem in India. Vitamin D deficiency was found to be more prevalent in India despite having sunny weather. Its deficiency was found to be correlated with glycosylated hemoglobin. We conducted this study in an effort to better understand the relationship between vitamin D and glycosylated hemoglobin in non-obese. A total of 119 type 2 diabetes patients were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Patient details and biochemical parameters were collected. Participants were divided into groups with vitamin D deficiency 25(OH) D <20 ng/ml and without vitamin D deficiency 25(OH) D >20 ng/mL, Further subgrouping was done into male and female-only groups. Next, the subjects were divided into male and female groups according to their 25(OH)D levels. The finding showed a significantly higher level of HbA1c (8.02±0.35%) in the vitamin D deficiency group compared to (7.32±0.41%) without vitamin D deficiency (p <.001). And it was also true for creatinine (0.94±0.14 vs. 0.82±0.17) (p<.001) HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose both were significant negatively correlated with vitamin D deficient group only (r = - 0.49, p <.001), (r = - 0.40, p = 0.001).

Monções no rio Madeira: as expedições de Francisco de Melo Palheta (1722) e Manuel Félix de Lima (1742)
Authors: Fonseca Marcela
Published: May 2022

A região do rio Madeira foi espaço de frequentes conflitos e disputas na primeira metade do século XVIII, por se tratar de uma zona fronteiriça entre os domínios castelhanos e portugueses na Amazônia. Neste artigo pretende-se analisar como este espaço é representado nos relatos de duas expedições: a do Sargento-mor luso-brasileiro Francisco de Melo Palheta em 1722, de caráter oficial, e a do comerciante e minerador português Manuel Félix de Lima em 1742, de caráter particular. E como tais representações—sobretudo a respeito do espaço e das relações vivenciadas entre indígenas, missionários e monçoeiros neste sertão—contribuíram para a reformulação das políticas portuguesas de ocupação territorial efetiva da região, bem como para a mudança gradual na organização social dos sertões amazônicos no século XVIII.
Impact of a Cohort Model on the American Veteran Transition to College
Authors: Villalobos Cynthia S. , Walsh Nichole R.
Published: May 2022

Veteran student populations are on the rise across the U.S. due to benefits from the revised Post 9/11 Government Issue (G.I.) Bill that guarantees financial assistance for housing and education for exiting service members. Institutions seeking integration practices for this student population may fail to acknowledge the multiple identities that veterans bring to the campus community and, thus, do not provide proper social support for this unique student population. The purpose of this case study was to examine how one veteran student cohort program provides support for veterans transitioning to their new student identity, and with retention and degree completion at one large California State University. This instrumental case study was conducted utilizing one-on-one in-depth interviews and archived document review to examine how effective the Veteran Education Program assists veteran students at Fresno State. The findings of this research show how students that partake in a veteran cohort program transition better into the broader campus community. As veterans begin transition into a new college student identity, pre-existing identities compete in the reprioritizing process.

Published: May 2022

The use of nitrogen (N) sources that reduce N losses may be an interesting management strategy to increase the economic and environmental sustainability of maize crops. This study aimed to assess the effects of different N sources and rates on maize grain yield and crop profitability. The experiment was conducted in the field on a Red Nitisol of clay texture during two growing seasons. The experimental design was a randomized block with split plots. Four sources of N were applied to the main plots: conventional urea, protected urea, urea treated with nitrification inhibitor, and urea treated with urease inhibitor. Split plots were treated with four N rates: 0, 140, 280, or 420 kg N ha−1. The four N fertilizer sources produced no differences in grain yield, which ranged from 3.2 to 15.9 Mg ha−1. This parameter showed a quadratic response to increasing N rates, regardless of N source. Theoretical N rates for optimal grain yield were estimated at 407 and 411 kg N ha−1 in 2016/2017 and 2017/2018, respectively. The highest profitability indices were obtained by applying 378 kg N ha−1 from conventional urea in 2016/2017 and 278 kg N ha−1 from urea treated with urease inhibitor in 2017/2018.

Este artigo buscou analisar o perfil dos acidentes de trânsito do município de Toledo/PR no período de 2005 a 2016, a fim de identificar os efeitos econômicos e sociais decorrentes. Para tanto, a metodologia utilizada parte da abordagem qualitativa usando-se dados estruturados de instituições competentes (SYSBM e IPEA), os quais trazem a quantidade de acidentes de trânsito e óbitos resultantes desses acidentes, bem como os custos estimados para cada situação, dentre eles perda de produção, danos à propriedade e custos médicos/hospitalares. Notou-se que os custos financeiros podem ser mensurados, porém os reflexos sociais envolvendo a dor e o sofrimento dos familiares e amigos das vítimas dos acidentes de trânsito são incalculáveis. Verificou-se ainda que, as vítimas geralmente ficam afastadas do trabalho, podendo levar ao empobrecimento constante, repercutindo negativamente na própria vida e da sociedade em geral.
Taxpayer’s Right to Privacy?
Authors: Drywa Anna
Published: May 2022

In the last decade, one of the most important tax challenges has been the fight against tax evasion and tax crime. In response to these phenomena, a number of initiatives have been undertaken that have a side effect of reducing the privacy of taxpayers. In view of the many undoubtedly important observations made in the context of the fight against taxpayers’ dishonesty, this discussion seems to be overly biased and should be balanced by a reflection on the need to protect the rights of taxpayers, among others, and the right to privacy. Attention should be paid to the legislator’s visible tendency to overstep the boundaries of their privacy. Most amendments to tax law are dramatically demonstrating how much of their privacy they have already surrendered.

The article approaches the topic from a broad perspective beginning with the meaning and scope of the right to privacy from a constitutional perspective. Reflecting on privacy is never easy as it is a dynamic concept with fluid boundaries. The regulations introducing the right to privacy are of a general nature. The decisions of the courts in that regard are inherently fragmentary and do not allow a general understanding to be decoded. Nor has a universally accepted definition of privacy or the right to privacy been developed. Against this background, the extent of taxpayers’ privacy has been considered. A number of factors have been discussed that demonstrate a change in views in tax law and a trend towards restricting taxpayers’ privacy. The question is whether a taxpayer has a genuine right to privacy or whether they only have a substitution of such protection.

Education and schooling have been the subject of various critical perspectives in recent years. Many countries around the world are looking at how education can be improved to meet current and future demands. Various digital technologies appear to have penetrated schools, but have not yet produced the desired results. This is also because new technology is being used in schools, but we are working with classical educational methods that are inadequate to the current possibilities and needs. The possibility of how to improve education was described by Fullan, who came up with the so-called deep learning and teaching. This teaching is fundamentally different from previous views of learning and teaching and also requires new approaches of teachers to pupils. It speaks to the need for a new pedagogy. In this paper we describe what deep learning and new pedagogy consists of.

Research in attitudes towards people with disability has increased in last few decades for various groups. Therefore is important to focus research also to educational environment. Firstly teachers are often in professional contact with pupils with disability and have to work with them. Secondly they acts to the rest of pupils and have to prepare whole class for new possible classmate with disability. Although teachers work in this case need high competences but on the other hand attitudes are proved to be important part of it. Paper main goal is to determine possible differences between practicing teachers and teacher students in attitudes towards people with disability. We used validated questionnaire for measuring social distance towards people with disability made from Bogardus scale of social distance. In research participated 114 teachers and 118 teacher students of primary education from two universities. Results was analysed by nonparametric statistics.

In Slovakia, there were publicized cases of victims who talked about the fact that they were sexually abused by the leaders at the children's camp. This finding provoked not only a wave of outrage, but also efforts to prevent this phenomenon. The solid organizers of the camps decided to contact the experts in the field of prevention and ask them for such a type of prevention. Our contribution offers an evaluation of the prevention program, which was implemented in response to this situation. The main goal of the paper is to present the results of research aimed at finding out whether the knowledge of respondents, volunteers at the children's camp, has increased after completing the prevention program. The research strategy of the presented research has a quantitative character. We used a quasi-experimental design. A non-standardized self-designed questionnaire was used for data collection. We did two knowledge measurements - pretest and postest at the same research group. The data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS statistical program. We came to the conclusion that there is a significant difference in the knowledge of respondents before and after the implementation of the program in favor of the implemented program. After the implementation of the program, the respondents' knowledge increased, so we would recommend repeating it in the future.

If the education of Roma pupils is to be effective, it should respect the peculiarities of their initial situation and offer openness, flexibility, and variability of approach. It's about the ability to formulate broader conceived and current educational goals in purviews of known individual needs of pupils and local specificities, the ability to create and utilize a multicultural educational environment. One of the necessary requirements of positive change that emerges from a reality presented in this way is the achievement of aimed and at the same time synergistic formation of cognitive, emotional and conative components of attitude of Roma pupils. The development happens primarily through intentional induction of pupil activities in the form of situations and tasks of creative nature, problem solving and use of methods, forms and aids that do not allow for the creation of thought stereotypes. One of the strategies employed in this process is cooperative learning. The article offers a theoretical and methodological determination of an actual exploratory research study aimed at cooperative learning in discourse of the specifics of socialisation of Roma pupils in the educational practice of primary schools.

Published: May 2022

We investigate the dynamical of pulse propagation and all-optical switching via a spontaneously generated coherence (SGC) in a three-level ladder-type atomic medium driven by a coupling field under the presence of incoherent pumping. Results show that the SGC causes modulations at the leading edge of the pulse envelope shape. These modulations increase with the together growth of SGC and distance. Furthermore, it is shown that the continuous-wave input probe field is switched ON or OFF by periodically modulating the coupling field. The spontaneously generated coherence has a strong effect on switching efficiency and switching pulse shape. The proposed scheme may have applications in the design of optical switching and optical gain devices in optical telecommunications.

It is very important in today’s time that people should be aware of what they are consuming and what will be its impact on the body. With the increasing number of health issues reported due to obesity and overeating, there are very few people who are cautious about their health and are taking proper health precautions. Not to mention, during these times, where the whole world is stuck under the pandemic, our lifestyles have changed drastically and the culture of “Work-from-home (WFH)” took over. This is also one of the crucial reasons that the problems of obesity, overeating etc. are increasing. As per the data shared by WHO, at least 2.8 million people are dying each year because of being overweight or obese. We complied all these points and came up with the idea of creating the Mobile Application - “Calorish”. Our Application “Calorish” is designed in a way that will let any user scan a food item and upon scanning, the application will automatically show the “estimated weight of the item, calorie count of the item and all other nutritional Values”. The Application also helps the users to maintain their body weight through the principle of BMR (Bio Metabolic Rate) by suggesting the calorie intake required by the individual on a daily basis to maintain their body weight and thereby, helping them to lead a healthy lifestyle. The application will also have a social media touch to it i.e., users can post about their success stories, recipes etc. that other users can see and interact with. The application will alsogive friendly reminders to take food, drink water or take medicines.

Research Methods in Machine Learning: A Content Analysis
Authors: Shukla Mayank
Published: May 2022

Research methods in machine learning play a pivotal role since the accuracy and reliability of the results are influenced by the research methods used. The main aims of this paper were to explore current research methods in machine learning, emerging themes, and the implications of those themes in machine learning research. To achieve this the researchers analyzed a total of 100 articles published since 2021 in IEEE journals. This study revealed that Machine learning uses quantitative research methods with experimental research design being the de facto research approach. The study also revealed that researchers nowadays use more than one algorithm to address a problem. Optimal feature selection has also emerged to be a key thing that researchers are using to optimize the performance of Machine learning algorithms. Confusion matrix and its derivatives are still the main ways used to evaluate the performance of algorithms, although researchers are now also considering the processing time taken by an algorithm to execute. Python programming languages together with its libraries are the most used tools in creating, training, and testing models. The most used algorithms in addressing both classification and prediction problems are; Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, Artificial Neural Networks, and Decision Tree. The recurring themes identified in this study are likely to open new frontiers in Machine learning research. Keywords: Research methods in machine learning, machine learning algorithms, machine learning techniques.

El criterio determinante de la ilegalidad de una cesión de personas trabajadoras en el marco de una contrata del sector público no es la interposición en la figura del titular de la actividad, ni la prestación del trabajo en las dependencias y con los medios de ésta, sino que las órdenes e instrucciones sobre las condiciones laborales procedan del propio ente cesionario (la Administración).

The decisive key for the illegality of an assignment of workers in the framework of a public sector contract is not the interposition in the figure of the owner of the activity, nor the provision of the work on its locations and with its resources, but rather is that isthe orders and instructions on working conditions come from the assignee entity itself (the Administration).

Published: May 2022

Esta sentencia del Tribunal Supremo de 179/2022, 23 de febrero versa sobre la problemática del resarcimiento del daño moral por vulneración de derechos fundamentales ante un despido declarado nulo y el modo o fórmula de cuantificación de la indemnización. La cuantificación del daño moral justifica que el mismo deba ser indemnizado cuando se solicita y se acredita la vulneración del derecho fundamental. No es aplicable la doctrina anterior para exigir la aportación de bases y elementos objetivos más precisos para el cálculo del daño moral. Reitera Sentencia del Tribunal Supremo de 5 octubre de 2017, rcud. 2497/2015, invocada en contraste. Y, asimismo, esta misma doctrina se sigue y reitera posteriormente en la Sentencia del Tribunal Supremo 214/2022, de 9 de marzo.

This judgment of the Supreme Court of 179/2022, February 23, deals with the problem of compensation for moral damages for violation of fundamental rights in the case of a dismissal declared null and void and the method or formula for quantification of the compensation. The quantification of the moral damage justifies that it must be compensated when the violation of the fundamental right is requested and accredited. The previous doctrine is not applicable to require the provision of more precise bases and objective elements for the calculation of moral damages. Reiterates Sentence of the Supreme Court of 5 October 2017, rcud. 2497/2015, invoked in contrast. And, likewise, this same doctrine is subsequently followed and reiterated in Supreme Court Ruling 214/2022, of March 9.
Registros empresariales sobre los trabajadores, videovigilancia e intimidad personal: necesidad de sospechas o conductas irregulares previas.

Los registros sobre los trabajadores y sus pertenencias personales, un poder de control excepcional o exorbitante que al empresario otorga el artículo 18 del Estatuto de los Trabajadores, se enmarcan legalmente en la "inviolabilidad de la persona trabajadora" y han de respetar su dignidad y su derecho fundamental a la intimidad como ámbito vital acotado. Han de ser necesarios para la protección del patrimonio empresarial. No son constitucional ni legalmente legítimos, y lesionan el derecho a la intimidad personal de los trabajadores, los registros con cámaras de videovigilancia cautelares o preventivos, masivos, diarios, e ilimitados, no justificados en sospechas o en conductas previas de los trabajadores. La validez de los registros de los trabajadores efectuados con cámaras de videovigilancia exige que estén justificados y superen el juicio constitucional de proporcionalidad (idoneidad, necesidad y proporcionalidad).

Searches of workers and their personal belongings, an exceptional or exorbitant power of control granted to the employer by Article 18 of the Workers' Statute, are legally framed within the "inviolability of the worker" and must respect their dignity and their fundamental right to privacy as a limited area of life. They must be necessary for the protection of the company's assets. Precautionary or preventive searches with video surveillance cameras that are not justified on the basis of suspicions or previous conduct of workers are neither constitutionally nor legally legitimate, and infringe the right to personal privacy of workers. The validity of searches of workers carried out with video surveillance cameras requires that they are justified and pass the constitutional test of proportionality (suitability, necessity and proportionality).

This research aims to describe the results of scientific study related to efforts to prevent the desacralization of temples as tourist destinations. This is based on the fact that there are many temples that have an attraction to be visited by domestic and foreign tourists. On the one hand, the adoption of temples as tourist destinations provides many advantages, especially from an economic perspective. However, irresponsible actions often occur by tourism actors, both managers and tourists themselves. Various cases of temple abuse occurred in Bali which indicated that there was an error in the management of temple tourist destinations. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection in the form of literature review and technical analysis through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results obtained from this study, that there are several temples in Lombok which are tourist destinations because they are unique in terms of history, place, and shape. The existence of the temple as a tourist destination has challenges in the the ethics of entering the temple which spiritually will affect the level of sanctity (sacred) of the temple. To anticipate this, it is necessary to revitalize the teachings of Hindu religious education to all tourism actors through the concepts of Tri Hita Karana, Tri Kaya Parisudha and Catur Paramita.Keyword: desacralization, temple, tourist destinations, Hindu religious education.
EU Military Training Missions: A Synthesis Report

This paper draws overarching conclusions based on a synthesis of previously published case studies that examined the impact of EU military training missions (EUTMs) in Somalia (EUTM Somalia, 2010–), Mali (EUTM Mali, 2013–), the Central African Republic (CAR) (EUTM RCA, 2016–). It concludes that EUTMs are relevant niche operations. Despite difficult circumstances beyond the control of the missions, EUTM training and advisory efforts have increased the effectiveness of partner armed forces. While these gains have been marginal in CAR and Somalia, they have been a bit more pronounced in Mali. Yet, broader security sector reform and defence sector reform efforts to improve the accountability and governance of defence and security sectors have become bogged down. The main challenge is that EUTMs are generally mandated to implement largely technical and tactical agendas in contexts where the ongoing armed conflict and the politics of the security sector are not conducive to building professional national security forces. As a consequence EUTMs find themselves caught up in interlinked and partially overlapping dilemmas. This study concludes with seven partly overlapping recommendations to EU member states and to EUTMs to address the main limitations that are restricting the impact of the missions.

Introduction: Stress urinary incontinence is a highly debilitating condition, with an important impact over the quality of life. When the conservative treatment fails, the surgical treatment is a viable solution. Minimally invasive sling procedures have become the gold standard of surgical management for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. Material and methods: The study was conducted on 68 patients with stress urinary incontinence, 52 have undergone the retropubic tension-free vaginal tape and 16 patients were operated using the transobturator tape procedure. All the patients were evaluated before the operation and the indication of the surgical treatment was established on the basis of physical examination (all the patients had positive cough test), abdominal ultrasound (to determine postvoid residual urine volume), urinalysis and urine culture (the majority of the patients have had before the operation recurrent urinary tract infections). Results: The satisfaction was similar in both groups of patients, with an average satisfaction rate of 91% for TVT and 86% for the patients who have undergone TOT procedure. The patients were in a proportion of 78,9% at menopause, with an average number of natural births of 1.9 and a mean BMI of 28.2. Regarding the surgical duration, this has varied between 20 and 40 minutes, being higher in the TVT cases (up to 5-7 minutes longer than TOT), because cystoscopy was performed during the operation to verify if the bladder was perforated or not. The urethral catheter was removed immediately after the operation in the case of the TOT procedure and in the day after the operation for the patients who have undergone TVT procedures (all of these patients associated genital prolapse). The hospitalization time was 3 days. We haven’t encountered significant intraoperative and postoperative complications. Conclusions: The TOT and TVT procedures have proven to be highly effective and safe methods in the treatment of SUI. There are no significant differences regarding the efficacy of these two surgical methods, but the risk of intraoperative complications is a little higher for the TVT procedure. The mid urethral sling procedures improve significantly the quality of life for patients with stress urinary incontinence.

Fracture of the penis is a rupture of the tunica albuginea of the corpus cavernosum, usually while the penis is rigid and erect. When erect, the albuginea layer stretches so far until its thickness reaches approximately 0.25 – 0.5 mm, compared with a 2 mm thick when flaccid. Thus the erect penis is much more vulnerable to serious damage from blunt trauma than the pendulous, flaccid penis. The most common cause of penile fracture is vigorous vaginal intercourse, more likely when woman is on top, but it can also occur during masturbation, forced bending of the erect penis or any mechanical trauma to the erect penis. The classic presentation described by the patient cracking or popping sound, followed by rapid detumescence, severe pain, ecchymosis of the penile skin, and swelling of the affected side with deviation of the penis shaft away from the affected side. In most cases, the penile fracture is a transverse corporeal tear close to the corpus spongiosum on the ventral aspect of penis shaft or on the lateral aspect and the tunical tear is usually 1 to 2 cm in length. The rupture can involve one or both corpora cavernosa as well as corpus spongiosum with the contained urethra therefore urethral rupture can also occur in. Most urethral injuries are associated with gross hematuria, blood at the meatus or inability to void, although the absence of these findings does not definitively rule aut urethral injury.

Cryptofoons, privacyvriendelijke applicaties en het vermoeden van onschuld

In dit artikel gaan de auteurs in op de draagwijdte van het vermoeden van onschuld in de Europese rechtspraak van het Europees Hof en zij passen die toe in de context van cryptofoons. Ook enkele vraagstukken die hiermee verband houden, zoals de rechtspraak over decryptiebevelen en het verbod op anonieme vooraf betaalde belkaarten, worden geanalyseerd. Tot slot beantwoorden de auteurs de vraag in welke mate geldende principes kunnen worden doorgetrokken naar de gebruikers van zogenaamde privacyvriendelijke applicaties, zoals Signal en Telegram.

A compelling body of evidence suggests that EFL students have problem with logical connectors’ appropriate use in writing. This study explored Iranian EFL students’ adversative connectors use in their essay writing course. To this end, a Learner Corpus of 60393 words consisting of 156 essays was compiled. LOCNESS was chosen as the criterion corpus. AntConc, a freeware concordance program, was used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that, in general, learners underused adversative connectors; both native and non-native students used but the most; on the other hand, and while were overused and despite, yet, and instead were underused by the learners suggesting that the top five most overused adversative connectors make up around 72% of learners’ adversative connector use indicating that learners tend to use the same adversative connectors at the cost of underusing the other ones. Analysis of concordance line also illustrated that the learners tended to misuse the subordinating conjunction whereas and though in the initial position. It seems that learners need to be taught how to distinguish between different types of adversative connectors and how to use a wider variety of adversative connectors to reach a better coherence and cohesion in their writings.
