Authors: Ramaiah Mangayarkarasi , Vanmathi C. , Khan Mohammad Zubair , Vanitha M. , Deepa M.
Published: February 2024

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions has led to a significant increase in cyber-attacks targeting IoT networks. Securing networks and especially wireless IoT networks against these attacks has become a crucial but challenging task for organizations. Therefore, ensuring the security of wireless IoT networks is of the utmost importance in today’s world. Among various solutions for detecting intruders, there is a growing demand for more effective techniques. This paper introduces a network intrusion detection system (NIDS) based on a deep neural network that utilizes network data features selected through the bagging and boosting methods. The presented NIDS implements both binary and multiclass attack detection models and was evaluated using the KDDCUP 99 and  CICDDoS datasets. The experimental results demonstrated that the presented NIDS achieved an impressive accuracy rate of 99.4% while using a minimal number of features. This high level of accuracy makes the presented IDS a valuable tool.

Authors: Salazar Martínez Valentina , Oliveri Rivera Anelisse Yerett , Martínez Ramos Sergio Alonso
Published: February 2024

La vigilancia social ha sido un concepto limitado únicamente a la vigilancia que realizan las personas ante entidades del Estado, reduciendo así sus múltiples posibilidades al ser una actividad que se practica también en entornos construidos. Este artículo explora la relación que tiene la vigilancia social de las personas y la promoción de espacios seguros, centrándose en el contexto de los ciclistas. A través de un enfoque cualitativo, se desarrolló una aplicación móvil diseñada para informar sobre las áreas más susceptibles al robo de bicicletas cuando éstas se encuentran en estado de reposo estacionadas en el espacio público. Además, la aplicación emite alertas tanto principales como secundarias para notificar a los usuarios acerca de la vulnerabilidad de su bicicleta, lo que fomenta la comunicación, la creación de redes sociales y el fortalecimiento de la comunidad ciclista en el municipio de Querétaro. El proceso de desarrollo se basó en la metodología de Diseño Centrado en el Usuario y se creó un prototipo utilizando la herramienta Figma, Inc. Se contó con la colaboración de diversos colectivos ciclistas, incluyendo Saca la Bici, A. C., Bicirobo QRO y ciclistas particulares. Ellos aportaron sus conocimientos como ciclistas urbanos activos y validaron la interfaz gráfica de usuario de la aplicación a través de grupos focales, con una muestra no probabilística por conveniencia de 20 ciclistas. Los resultados obtenidos en esta fase inicial se utilizarán en las etapas posteriores de investigación.
Discourse of influence – participation and opinions in digital and print media
Authors: Ström Peter , Lindgren Eva , Boström Per , Hermansson Carina
Published: February 2024

In democratic societies, exchange of written opinion is fundamental, but since the 1990s, public debate has gradually moved away from print media platforms to digital media platforms. In order to understand how a shift from print to digital media in opinion-oriented writing may have consequences for interaction and participation, it is relevant to investigate interpersonal aspects of opinion-oriented texts situated in digital and print media. The aim of the study is to explore and compare writers’ attitudes and the construction of the writer-reader-relationship in digital media (represented by Twitter) and (traditionally) print media (represented by letters to the editor, LEs). Bakhtinian dialogism and appraisal theory form the theoretical backdrop of the study. Results show that in the LEs, writers tend to take a negative general value position, but in the tweets, the writers’ attitude is more often either positive or negative, making Twitter a more diverse platform. Furthermore, attitudinal meaning is more transparent in the LEs, indicating that tweets are more often specialized, and readers who are not familiar with the context and interactional style of specific writers may be excluded from the communication. Another result is that a shift from print to digital media platforms seems to turn the focus of discussion more towards attitudes and perspectives in general, and less towards writers’ own attitudes. Therefore, digital media opinion exchange can be understood as a meta-discussion of attitudes, while print media rather transmit writers’ personal attitudes.

Authors: Borges Telmo Santiago , Sant’ana Junior Tigernaque Pergentino de
Published: February 2024

This article presents an analysis of the role of the international agencies IOM and UNHCR in the Operation Welcome, created by Brazil to receive Venezuelan immigrants in Roraima. The main objective of Operation Welcome is to mitigate the effects of the migratory flow from Venezuela, which is facing a political, economic and social crisis. To put the planning and execution of the operation into practice, the Humanitarian Logistics Task Force (FT Log Hum) was conceived, which relied on the continuous and timely advice of a joint staff composed of members of the Army, Navy and Brazilian Air Force. International organizations, such as IOM and UNHCR have increased their presence in the state of Roraima to meet the needs of venezuelan migrants arriving in the country. The study aims to understand the work of these international agencies in the context of the Operation Welcome, through a qualitative methodology based on documental and bibliographic review. The study presents a historical context of the trajectories of IOM and UNHCR and analyzes the role of these organizations in the context of the Operation Welcome through a critical analysis. The research contributes to the advancement of academic knowledge in the area and is of great relevance to the academic community and actors involved in the humanitarian response.

Adolescence is a stage of life where there are major physical and biological transformations concomitant with psychological and social ones, which occur with the development of sexuality and which influence the human being's personality and other aspects of life. Health literacy (HL) can be understood as an individual's ability to access, understand, evaluate and put into practice basic health information. Adolescent oral health literacy (OHL) is an area that is little explored, despite the importance of this formative stage in the individual approach to healthy lifestyles and behaviors. The objective of this study was to carry out an integrative literature review on research instruments validated in Brazil for OHL among adolescents. The search strategy was carried out in August 2023, with a broad search for studies that assessed OHL in adolescents, in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), US National Library of Medicine (PubMed) and Scientific Electronic databases. Library Online (Scielo). The keywords used were “health literacy” and “oral health” and “adolescents”. Inclusion criteria: free full texts; only: articles, books and documents, clinical trials, meta-analyses, controlled and randomized trials, analyzes and systematic reviews; without limitations of date or language. Exclusion criteria: studies without the three descriptors present in the text simultaneously, theses and monographs, abstracts, letters to the editor. 47 articles were found in VHL, 118 in PubMed and 13 in Scielo. Nineteen articles were analyzed and presented according to: author, title, year of publication, type of study, objectives, sample size and age group, sample recruitment, data collection tool, limitations and health outcomes. The only research instrument on adolescent OHL validated in Brazil was the BREALD-30 questionnaire, a Brazilian version of the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Dentistry, which measures literacy through word recognition. An important research gap in this field was revealed.
The importance of early detection of Alzheimer's to improve the patient's quality of life
Authors: Nabosne Isabella , Cruz Rafaela Compri da , Borges Beatriz Essenfelder
Published: February 2024

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder marked by behavioral and cognitive impairment that eventually interferes with daily functional activities. The disorder has no cure and its rate of progression is variable. In this context, early diagnosis of the disease is a valuable element so that the individual and their carers have time to make choices and plan for the future, to allow access to treatments that can help manage the symptoms. The aim of this paper is therefore to present the importance of early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in improving the patient's quality of life. To this end, an integrative literature review was carried out, with inclusion criteria comprising original articles, free of charge, available in full, in Portuguese, published in the last 5 years, which had a direct connection with the topic and met the objective and perspectives of the study. Abstracts, duplicate copies, case studies and those that did not meet the article's objective were excluded. Alzheimer's disease represents an immense burden for people with the condition, their families and carers, but also for the health system and society in general. Early diagnosis allows everyone involved time to adapt, while the patient can still actively participate in contributing to quality of life. We concluded that early detection, even though it is not curable, can minimize its symptoms with multidisciplinary monitoring and medication, contributing to well-being and quality of life, encouraging everyone involved not to give up along the way.

ET is a genetic disorder that leads to a disturbance in cell proliferation and migration related to variable clinical manifestations, ranging from benign lesions to malignant tumors. Most ET patients diagnosed with NETs have pancreatic involvement, however the presence of these tumors in other organs should be considered as part of the disease phenotype. Recent studies have shown that the majority of tuberous sclerosis patients with pancreatic NETs have a germline pathogenic variant in the TSC2 gene. In the present report, the patient had a tumor in the caudal region of the pancreas that was asymptomatic. Current surgical recommendations for non-functional pancreatic NETs indicate the need for surgical removal when they are more than 20 mm in size or have very rapid growth. In this case, the area of the tumor made surgical removal necessary.

Authors: Freitas Valter Siqueira , Lira Luiz Alberto Rocha de
Published: February 2024

The present study is part of a broader post-doctoral research carried out at the Evangelical University of Paraguay-UEP, with the general objective of investigating teaching performance, educational infrastructure and ways of acquiring knowledge of these teachers about hybrid teaching, the flipped classroom, and also on the use of alternative educational resources during the pandemic, in the educational network of the Federal District (DF). The research instrument used was Google forms, and 97 forms were applied, 62% of which were representative of public institutions and 38% of private educational institutions. The DF has just over 3 million inhabitants, and, regarding basic education, the Department of Education is responsible for managing all stages (childhood, elementary and secondary education). Due to the analysis of the main elements returned from the research, through the mathematical and statistical method, aimed at issues inherent to the process of using educational resources in teaching-learning, it was observed that the responding teachers translated the occurrences in the educational context of Brasilia-DF, demonstrating that the FLEX model, which became quite popular during the pandemic, was the most used (40%). This is a methodology in which the teacher provides an activity guide digitally, or similar, so that the student can carry out the activities alone or even in a study group.
The right to health and the quality of generic medicines
Authors: Melo Milena Barbosa de
Published: February 2024

The right to health is part of the concept of quality of life. Quality health is a goal that countries want to achieve on a global scale and also in the context of sustainable development, because a high level of health is a fundamental element of well-being, since it is through good health that individuals are able to realize other human rights, such as housing, nutrition, dignity and education. The relationship between intellectual property and public health has attracted controversy in both developed and developing countries. Pharmaceutical innovation is an essential part of efforts to improve quality of life and save human beings around the world. This innovation not only benefits patients, but also prevents new diseases. Therefore, linking access to medicines with social well-being, two interesting questions arise: 1. Price of medicines 2. Quality of medicines. In order to compete, companies end up producing drugs with low-quality substances. This directly violates the right to health. This is why the proliferation of substandard medicines around the world is an international public health problem.

Published: February 2024

Today's Muslims are facing the most crucial time of history since the last few decades. They are victimized by the irresponsible stereotyping attitude due to September 11, 2001 and the London Bombing on 7th July, 2005. It has become a common fashion that Muslims are being charged with terrorism for every single terrorist acts in any part of the world. Western criticisms towards Islam seem to have increased more than ever before. Muslims are being terrorized in the name of 'anti-terrorism' everywhere, as a result, Muslims suffer in almost all countries of the world. Islamic organizations, vastly in the poor and affected Muslim nations, like Afghanistan, Palestine and many others, have been shut down and restricted; their offices have been raided; the officers are held for trials and tribunals besides the ongoing 'security' measures taken against the Muslims. Muslims are being laughed at as 'culprits' and 'terrorists.' This paper discuss the issue of terrorism, its causes, Islamic funda­mentalism and Jihad in relation to terrorism and its overall impacts on Islamic charity organizations. Finally, it suggests some steps required for Muslim to face the today's challenge.
THE CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ISLAMIC GOVERNMENT DURING ITS FORMATIVE PHASE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SUNNI AND SHI'I DOCTRINES
Authors:   International Islamic University Malaysia, Malaysia, Ra'ees Wahabuddin
Published: February 2024

This study examines the basic characteristics of an Islamic government. It focuses mainly on the views of Sunni and Shi'i jurists and scholars. It uses the normative phase in the history of Islam as its main source of evidence. According to most writers, the normative phase in building political institutions in Islam begins with the Prophet Muhammad's famous migration from Mecca to Medina and ends with the end of Orthodox Khilafah. It is important to inform the reader that Shi'i political doctrines are influenced by one overriding principle that is the divine nature of government. Therefore, as the aim of this study is to provide a rather original understanding of the notion of an Islamic government, some of the characteristics of government existing in this normative phase identified in this study, naturally may not have been emphasized in Shi'i literature while popularly expressed in Sunni literature.
WITHOUT LENIN AND LOCKE : THE IMPACT OF ISLAMIC RESURGENT ON INTERNATIONAL POLITICS
Authors:   University Malaya, Malaysia, Abu Bakar Mohamad
Published: February 2024

Contemporary international politics is essentially the function of the interaction between the West and its global strategic environment. The Western mind always has been the directing force. The Lockean idea of the Commonwealth with its inherent war and peace attributes, and the Leninist conception of the world with its emphasis on capitalism and class conflict, are but different manifestations of the Western post-Enlighten­ment universalism. Colonialism and imperialism were mainly European preoccupations, and even with the best of intentions, as encapsulated in the Kipling's version of the "white man's burden", European nations had emerged as predatory states whose activities led to the subjugation of the non-Europeans. The League of Nations to all intents and purposes was also a Western creation meant to salvage Judea-Christian civilization, while the United Nations, a post-World War Two concoction, was undergirded by the Anglo- Saxon desire to maintain its pre-eminent position.

Formation, Regulation, and Eradication of Bacterial Biofilm in Human Infection
Authors: Usman Muhammad , Yang Huan , Wang Jun-Jiao , Tang Jia-Wei , Zhang Li-Yan , Wang Liang
Published: February 2024

Microbial biofilms are complicated structures in which planktonic cells change to a sessile form of growth. The development of an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix, which encloses the bacterial cells and offers additional protection, supports that kind of growth. Biofilms present a significant threat to public health due to their extreme resistance to higher antibiotic concentrations. In addition, biofilms are also resistant to human immune systems. Bacterial biofilms can spread their pathogenicity through a variety of approaches, such as adhering to a solid surface, evading host defenses like phagocytosis, generating a large amount of toxins, resisting anti-microbial agents, transferring genes to generate more virulent strains, and dispersing microbial aggregates that transport the microorganisms to new locations. Consequently, there is an urgent need to replace the widespread procedure of antibiotics with novel developing approaches. Furthermore, biofilm formation has been connected with high rates of disease, health-related infections, and even death, leading to the search for alternative treatment approaches. The review intends to provide information about clinically important bacterial pathogens of the gut, mouth, skin, and lungs and insights into the different perceptions of microbial biofilms, as well as their formation, regulation, and pathogenicity. In addition, for efficient eradication or inhibition of biofilms and associated infections, nanoparticle approaches for addressing persistent bacterial infections have also been discussed.

Background: Post-traumatic growth refers to positive changes that occur after a traumatic event, and these changes can be influenced by an individual's personality traits. Objectives: The present study aims to predict post-traumatic growth based on the five major personality traits in those who recovered from COVID-19. Methods: This study used a descriptive correlational approach. The statistical population consisted of recovered people from COVID-19 in Ilam in 2021, and 200 people were selected using the convenience sampling method. The research tools included the five major personality traits questionnaire (NEO-FFI) and the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI). Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation and stepwise regression analysis using SPSS-26. Results: The findings revealed a significant relationship between the five major personality traits and post-traumatic growth. Accordingly, there was a significant negative relationship between neuroticism and post-traumatic growth and its subscales. Additionally, a significant positive relationship was found between extroversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness with the total score of post-traumatic growth and its subscales. Stepwise regression analysis showed that the five major personality traits significantly explain the post-traumatic growth rate (F = 73.644). Conclusions: Providing medical and psychosocial interventions and training can stimulate psychological adjustment, improve mental health, and ultimately prevent the complications of mental problems caused by the pandemic. According to the results of the present research, it is suggested to pay attention to PTG components and personality traits as a model to reduce the severity of mental complications when working with patients who have recovered from COVID-19.
Renesanční nástěnné malby na zámku v Moravském Krumlově
Authors: Vlková Markéta
Published: February 2024

Renaissance wall paintings have recently been discovered at the château in Moravský Krumlov. The most significant of these is a painted decoration of the walls and illusive coffering on the vaulting in one of the spaces in the original medieval tower. This is just the torso of the decoration, which originally probably extended into all the representative rooms of the south wing of the château. By finding appropriate comparison locations in this country and abroad, as well as graphic examples in the work of Sebastiano Serlio, it was possible to determine a possible time frame for the creation of these paintings, which probably originated between the end of the 1530s and the beginning of the second half of the 16th century. In addition, stylistic interpretation of the revealed paintings also points to a possible manifestation of the so-called hybrid style, both through the placing of sophisticated Renaissance motifs in the vaulted spaces of the original medieval tower, and the use of the quick, cheap stencil painting technique.
Zdeněk Rossmann a divadlo své doby : závěrečné kapitoly scénografické tvorby
Authors: Ciampi Matulová Jitka
Published: February 2024

Zdeněk Rossmann (1905–1984) was a prominent representative of the Czechoslovak avant-garde between the wars, making his mark in several artistic fields from the beginning of his creative career. In addition to his central interest of architecture, he concerned himself with typography, book design, advertising, exhibition management, and soon drew close to the theatre as a scenographer. This study focuses on his post-war work in theatre, which has almost never been published. In the context of the time and Rossmann's own fate, it uses selected titles to reveal the basic principles of his work as well as the specifics of his collaboration with other personalities of the theatre world.
Georg Bernard Verbeeck a jeho Vanitas ze šternberské sbírky na zámku v Častolovicích
Authors: Farkaš Patrik , Zlatohlávková Eliška
Published: February 2024

The article deals with the cabinet picture Vanitas from the Sternberg collection, exhibited at the château in Častolovice in eastern Bohemia. This still life on copper plate was painted by Georg Bernard Verbeeck (†1673), a portraitist from the German town of Emmerich near the Dutch border. He moved to Prague with his nephew Jodokus Justus (1646–1700) and worked for the Lobkowitz family in Roudnice nad Labem and the Kolowrat family in Rychnov nad Kněžnou. The only painting attributed to Verbeeck that is not a portrait is an exploratory still life that has survived in relatively good condition. The work is signed and partially dated. The painting was in the possession of the Sternbergs at least from the time of Adolf Wratislaw of Sternberg (1627?–1703) and in the family asset inventories in Zásmuky and Častolovice it was designated Ein Todtenkopf The painting demonstrates exceptional realism and attention to detail. It combines many artistic symbols typical of the 17th century, expressing the themes of the finiteness of life and profligacy. This study, which is an addendum to our knowledge of the work of the almost unknown author of this painting, may help art historians in the future in the attribution of other paintings by Verbeeck, or more exactly, his circle.
Unleashing the power of teacher’s wellbeing and selfcare

Published: February 2024

Teachers’ personal and professional life depends heavily on their health and self-care. This article examines the value of teacher wellbeing and self-care, educators’ difficulties, and the possible advantages of putting their physical, mental, and emotional health first. The many challenges teachers face can have an impact on their wellness. Teachers frequently struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance because of the hard job, long hours, and time limits. Additionally, the emotional demands of the job, such as handling difficult circumstances or managing student behavior problems, might result in elevated stress levels. These issues are made more difficult by scarce resources, a lack of support networks, and a culture that puts teacher wellbeing last. Schools and higher tertiary institutions may establish a happy and encouraging environment that improves overall student results by recognizing and addressing the wellbeing of instructors. This paper will encourage teachers to release the power of self-care and prioritize their wellbeing. This research paper focused on the benefits of teachers’ wellbeing and self-care, the common challenges teachers face, and strategies for promoting teachers’ wellbeing and self-care. A qualitative secondary data research approach was used in data collection, which uncovered numerous elements that significantly impact teachers’ wellbeing.
