This summation of my doctoral research, which is a written (not practice-led) thesis in te reo Māori, is somewhat of an explanation to readers of how Māori postgraduates with ancestry from Pacific countries, like me with a maternal grandfather from Tonga, might apply cultural priority in their work. From my perspective as a mokopuna (granddaughter) of Te Whānau-ā-Rūtaia hapū of Te Whānau-ā-Apanui iwi, cultural priority signals that although I acknowledge my Tongan descent on mum’s side, I prioritise my whakapapa Māori (Māori lineages) and tikanga Māori (Māori customary practices) on dad’s side. The ancestry and traditions rooted in the land where I was born and raised, the land where my people are the Indigenous population, take precedence for multiple reasons. Firstly, I am a Native speaker of te reo Māori, the language of Māori tribes. Secondly, I practice the beliefs, ethics, customs, and way of living belonging to a Māori knowledge system and worldview. Thirdly, and no less important than the preceding points, is the social acceptance of my Rūtaia people that I belong to them. If and when I pass away, I can therefore return home to Ōtūwhare marae for burial, and no one will question whether I have the cultural rite of passage to be buried in the urupā of our bones, our people. I am Māori by culture.

Authors: Jordan Bryan Matthew , Ratnasari Dina , Fibryanto Eko , Bin Azman Syuwari Azhar
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Supra-nano spherical filled composite resin (Omnichroma, Tokuyama, Japan) with sol-gel method has 0.26 μm filler size, while nanohybrid composite resin (ENA HRi, Micerium, Italy) has 0.2-1 μm filler size. Nanofillers enhance resistance from chlorogenic acid contained in Coffea arabica. This study analyzed the surface roughness difference between supra-nano spherical-filled and nanohybrid composite resins after Coffea arabica immersion for 7 and 14 days, with 15 minutes of immersion each day. Methods: This study was an in vitro laboratory experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. Twenty composite resin samples were immersed in artificial saliva and divided into four groups; supra-nano coffee, nanohybrid coffee, supra-nano saliva (control), and nanohybrid saliva (control). After 24 hours, immersion in Coffea arabica was started for supra-nano coffee group and nanohybrid coffee group for 15 minutes daily until days 7 and 14. Control groups were immersed in saliva. Results: One-way ANOVA showed significant differences in the surface roughness between composite resin groups. Post-hoc Tukey showed a significant difference between supra-nano coffee (0.91± 0.29 μm) and nanohybrid saliva (1.43±0.42 μm). The GLM Repeated Measure test showed significant surface roughness changes in supra-nano after 14 days of immersion in Coffea arabica (1.47±0.13 μm), while nanohybrid experienced surface roughness changes in 7 days of immersion in Coffea arabica (1.94±0.55 μm) and increased in 14 days (2.25±0.47 μm). In saliva immersion (control group), nanohybrid experienced an increase in surface roughness after 14 days, while supra-nano did not experience a significant increase in surface roughness. Conclusion: Supra-nano spherical filled composite resin exhibits greater resistance to changes in surface roughness following immersion in Coffea arabica.KEYWORDSCoffea arabica, nanohybrid, composite resin, supra-nano spherical filled, surface roughness

This work is based on the definition of the landscape in accordance with the Landscape Charter of the Americas (2018) which indicates “a portion of the territory apprehended by the sensible and intelligible experience of the perception, individual and collective of the human being that is revealed as a unicum and continuum of living, natural and cultural systems, as a synthetic and interdependent totality, in space and time.” For this reason, it is very important to be able to spread among the population that this experience in which we participate on a daily basis in our surroundings must be apprehended personally and collectively; It is also necessary to remember the original concept of the word heritage, which according to Françoise Choay (2019) was linked to the family, economic and legal structure of a stable society, rooted in its space and time. At this stage we have to live a globalized world where we are citizens of the world, but we do not physically inhabit the whole world, it is important to recover that if we belong to a place, to the place in which we live, of which we are cultural heirs and that of some This way we must apprehend it, in order to conceive it within ourselves as our heritage. The following exercise of perception of the inhabited landscape is presented, carried out taking as a case study the Mining Comarca in Pachuca, Hidalgo Mexico, which has been represented through the macramé technique on a canvas with the intention of making an appropriation of the territory that allow to show how the inhabited landscape is conceived, thus seeking to generate, through the ties with which it was woven, links that allow a genuine interest in knowing more about the place aimed at being recognized as part of the cultural heritage of its inhabitants.

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the important vegetables in Egypt. The study was conducted in the vegetable field to study the effect of different rates of phosphorus fertilizers and foliar application of Nano-Boron, Chitosan, and Naphthalene Acidic Acid (NAA) on growth and seed productivity of Onion plant (Allium cepa L., cv. Giza 6 Mohassan). The experiments were carried out in a split-plot design with three replicates. The main plot contains 3 rates of phosphorus treatments (30, 45 and 60 kg P2O5/feddan), Subplot includes foliar application of Nano-Boron, Nano-Chitosan and Naphthalene Acidic Acid (NAA) at a concentration of 50 ppm for each and sprayed at three times (50, 65 and 80 days after transplanting). Increasing the phosphorus fertilizers rate to 60 kg P2O5/fed significantly affects the growth and seed production of the Onion plant. Foliar application of nano-boron at 50 ppm concentration gave maximum values of onion seed yield in both seasons. Results stated that the correlation between yield and yield contributing characters over two years was highly significant. It could be recommended that P application at a rate of 60 kg P2O5 and sprayed onion plants at 50 ppm nano-boron three times (at 50, 65, and 80 days from transplanting) gave the highest seed yield of onion plants. Moreover, the maximum increments of inflorescence diameter (94.4%) were recorded to nano-boron foliar spray (60 p × nB) compared to the other treatments in both seasons.

Authors: Abou Neel Ensanya A. , Frick William C.
Published: August 2024

Regardless of the importance of accreditation and the role faculty play in a such process, not much attention was given to those in dental colleges This study aimed to explore faculty perceptions of accreditation in the College of Dental Medicine and its impact, the challenges that hinder their involvement in accreditation, and countermeasures to mitigate these barriers using a convergent mixed methods approach. The interviewees were faculty who hold administrative positions (purposeful sample). The remaining faculty were invited for the survey using convenience sampling. Quantitative data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests at 0.05 significance. A consensus was achieved on the positive impact of accreditation with an emphasis on the collective responsibility of faculty for the entire process. Yet their involvement was not duly recognized in teaching load, promotion, and incentives. Quality Improvement and Sustainability Tools and Benchmarking were identified as common themes for the value of accreditation to institutions and faculty. Global ranking and credibility as well as seamless service were key themes for institutional accreditation, while education tools and guidance or unifying tools were central themes for faculty. Regarding the challenges, five themes were recognized: Lack of Resources, Rigorous Process, Communication Lapse, Overwhelming Workload, and Leadership Style and Working Environment. To mitigate these challenges, Providing Enough Resources and Leadership Style and Working Environment were the identified themes. This research endeavors to achieve a better understanding of faculty perceptions to ease a process that requires commitment, resources, and readiness to change.

Authors: Burney Syed Muhammad Aqil , Khan Muhammad Shahbaz , Alim Affan , Efendi Riswan
Published: August 2024

Fuzzy Time Series (Fts) models are experiencing an increase in popularity due to their effectiveness in forecasting and modelling diverse and intricate time series data sets. Essentially these models use membership functions and fuzzy logic relation functions to produce predicted outputs through a defuzzification process. In this study, we suggested using a Second Order Type-1 fts (S-O T-1 F-T-S) forecasting model for the analysis of time series data sets. The suggested method was compared to the state-of-theart First Order Type 1 Fts method. The suggested approach demonstrated superior performance compared to the First Order Type 1 Fts method when applied to household consumption data from the Magene Regency in Indonesia, as measured by absolute percentage error rate (APER).
ANN Approach for SCARA Robot Inverse Kinematics Solutions with Diverse Datasets and Optimisers
Authors: Bouzid Rania , Gritli Hassène , Narayan Jyotindra
Published: August 2024

In the pursuit of enhancing the efficiency of the inverse kinematics of SCARA robots with four degrees of freedom (4-DoF), this research delves into an approach centered on the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to optimise and, hence, solve the inverse kinematics problem. While analytical methods hold considerable importance, tackling the inverse kinematics for manipulator robots, like the SCARA robots, can pose challenges due to their inherent complexity and computational intensity. The main goal of the present paper is to develop efficient ANN-based solutions of the inverse kinematics that minimise the Mean Squared Error (MSE) in the 4-DoF SCARA robot inverse kinematics. Employing three distinct training algorithms – Levenberg-Marquardt (LM), Bayesian Regularization (BR), and Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG) – and three generated datasets, we fine-tune the ANN performance. Utilising diverse datasets featuring fixed step size, random step size, and sinusoidal trajectories allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the ANN adaptability to various operational scenarios during the training process. The utilisation of ANNs to optimise inverse kinematics offers notable advantages, such as heightened computational efficiency and precision, rendering them a compelling choice for real-time control and planning tasks. Through a comparative analysis of different training algorithms and datasets, our study yields valuable insights into the selection of the most effective training configurations for the optimisation of the inverse kinematics of the SCARA robot. Our research outcomes underscore the potential of ANNs as a viable means to enhance the efficiency of SCARA robot control systems, particularly when conventional analytical methods encounter limitations.

Authors: Adegboyega Adegboye , Imianvan Anthony Agboizebeta
Published: August 2024

One of the major areas of machine learning application is in medical diagnosis. Machine learning algorithms can detect patterns in patients’ data and generates a diagnosis based on those patterns. There are several machine learning classification algorithms each having different strengths and weaknesses, and this makes it difficult to determine the best one for classification problems. In this paper, machine learning techniques used to classify the clinical depression dataset are Fuzzy Logic, Neural Network, Neuro-Fuzzy System, and Genetic Neuro-Fuzzy System. A total of 134 clinical diagnosis first report depression datasets were used in arriving at prediction. The outcome of the experiment showed that the Genetic Neuro-Fuzzy model generated the best result with a prediction accuracy of 95 %, and cross-validation of 83.2 %. This shows that the model is robust and can make accurate prediction on new, unseen data. This research work will guide future researchers and practitioners to identify new directions for advanced development opportunities in using machine learning in depression diagnosis. It will help policymakers in the area of depression to make informed decisions, especially in the area of best machine learning technique for classification problem related to depression diagnosis. The research is limited to clinical depression diagnosis; future work could be expanded to compute the severity ranks of other depression-connected dysfunctions similar to diabetes, lungs, and cancer diseases.

Published: August 2024

The intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and medical science has shown great promise in recent years for addressing complex medical challenges, including the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Alzheimer’s disease presents a significant challenge in healthcare, and despite advancements in medical science, a cure has yet to be found. Early detection and accurate prediction of AD progression are crucial for improving patient outcomes. This study comprehensively evaluates four Machine Learning (ML) models and one Perceptron Model for early detection of AD using the Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS) dataset. The evaluated models include Logistic Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost, CatBoost, and a Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP). This study assesses the performance of each model, on metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and AUC ROC. The MLP model emerges as the top performer, achieving an impressive accuracy of 95 %, highlighting its efficacy in accurately predicting AD status based on biomarker indicators. While other models, such as Logistic Regression (85 %), Random Forest (87 %), XGBoost (83 %), and CatBoost (89 %), demonstrate considerable accuracy, they are outperformed by the MLP model.

Published: August 2024

Vaccines targeting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been pivotal in curtailing the spread of infection. Health care workers, as frontline responders, were among the first to receive vaccination to mitigate coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19) transmission. This study aimed to assess the humoral response elicited by mRNA vaccines, specifically measuring antibodies against the spike S1 protein, a marker of immune response. A cohort of 649 health care workers received three doses of mRNA vaccine, with antibody levels evaluated before and after each dose within a 2- to 3-week interval. Participants were stratified into groups based on prior exposure to the virus: those without prior contact (440 individuals) and those with a history of infection (209 individuals). Among the latter, cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection ranged from asymptomatic (92 individuals) to mild symptomatic (117 individuals). Participants with a history of infection exhibited elevated levels of IgG antibodies against the S1 protein prior to vaccination. Notably, both immunoglobulin IgA class (IgA) and immunoglobulin IgG class (IgG) antibody responses increased significantly post-vaccination, peaking after the second dose for IgG and after the third dose for IgA. Interestingly, the immune response to the vaccine did not vary significantly based on the symptomatic or asymptomatic nature of prior infection. Furthermore, the study findings indicate that completion of the vaccination regimen led to sustained antibody production lasting between 6 months and 9 months. This study underscores the robust and enduring humoral response elicited by mRNA vaccines, particularly among health care workers, irrespective of prior SARS-CoV-2 exposure.
Bridging Borders with Books: The Rise of Romanian Diaspora Libraries
Authors: Hrib Bogdan , Zbuchea Alexandra
Published: August 2024

The Romanian migration of the last decades has generated in the world, but especially in Europe, a significant population of Romanian origin, but far from the cultural sources in Romania. The appearance of activities that would bring together the Romanian community appeared inevitable; among them, the initiatives of some Romanian libraries were born naturally, in various forms, sometimes structured on local public libraries or just as personal initiatives. The present article maps and evaluates several European cases of Romanian libraries: three in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and one in Prague, which already has countless branches, especially in the European Union. The investigation shows a strong connection between the Romanian libraries and their communities, especially with the parents of minor children, and a strong appreciation of these libraries' educational and social impact.

Published: August 2024

The study encompasses a bibliometric analysis of the classical cultural organizations (museums, libraries and theaters), considering the mainstream academic research documenting the relationships between these organizations and their communities. The first part discusses how these organizations’ focus and commitments have shifted from passive cultural aims, observing a social and educational turn towards communities. We observe a redefinition of their core purposes, becoming dynamic community and social spaces that promote sustainable development, social enrichment and wellbeing. They are no longer temples of culture, but complex hubs, spaces for engagement. Mainstream academic research gives more attention to the transformations in the library sector. Nevertheless, overall, it captures the transformations in all cultural organizations investigated, highlighting the importance of technology, community engagement and interdisciplinary approaches, as well as their growing significance in community development and wellbeing.
How Does Fintech Development Affect Financing Constraints of Smes? Evidence From China
Authors: Yang Jian , Zhang Yawen , Gong Jinguo , Liu Tong
Published: August 2024

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play an indispensable role in China’s economy through making huge contributions to GDP, national employment, financial innovation and government taxation. However, SMEs in China have long faced financing constraints due to their inherent problems, such as financial information asymmetry, immature governance mechanisms, and lack of collateral under the traditional financial system, which have hindered their long-term development. In recent years, financial technology (Fintech) has entered a rapid development track, especially in China, providing new ideas and methods for solving the financing difficulties of SMEs from a technical perspective. In order to examine this, this paper measures the degree of financing constraints through the cash flow sensitivity of cash model and explores how the Fintech development affects financing constraints of SMEs in China and how this impact further communicated to the performance and the risks of SMEs by adopting two-way fixed effects models. The results show that Fintech could alleviate the financing constraints of SMEs. Furthermore, the mediating role of ownership is identified, presenting a better mitigating effect of Fintech on the financing constraints for private SMEs. In addition, both the performance and the risks of SMEs showed the upward single-sided U-shaped relationship with the increase of the Fintech development index, which indicates that Fintech could amplify performance while magnifying the risks of SMEs. The findings of this paper offer an important implication for China that regulatory authorities should consider and balance the financing constraint mitigation effect and risk amplification effect of Fintech.

Novel soil datasets and the application of pedotransfer functions provide soil hydraulic input data for modelling hydrological processes at different scales. We aimed to evaluate the reliability of soil hydraulic parameters derived by indirect methods in simulation of soil moisture time series and water budgets at profile level of three sites (Forest, Orchard and Grassland) from a Central European catchment (Lake Balaton, Hungary). Five soil-vegetation-atmosphere model variants were set up with the Hydrus-1D model for each site, differing only in the parametrization of input soil data: i) a calibrated reference, ii) measured values, iii) values predicted from measured basic soil properties, iv) values predicted from national soil map information, v) values derived from the 3D soil hydraulic dataset of Europe. Calibrated soil parameters led to Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency 0.50, 0.54 and 0.71 for the Forest, Orchard and Grassland Site respectively. The outcomes for model efficiency of soil moisture underline the superiority of local databases over regional ones and the need for more detailed vertical discretization during modelling. The model performance according to soil moisture and water budget accuracy led to different rank order of model variants. Water budget comparisons indicated moderate differences between the hydrologic fluxes simulated by the different model variants, emphasizing the uncertainties associated with soil hydraulic parametrization either at local or at watershed scale.
Channel deformation around non-submerged spur dikes with different alignment angles under ice cover
Authors: Jafari Rahim , Sui Jueyi
Published: August 2024

This study explores how the ice cover on water surfaces affects the deformation of the channel bed around non-submerged spur dikes. Laboratory experiments have been conducted by using two types of model ice cover with different roughness coefficients and three sands with different median grain sizes. The effects of various layout angles of non-submerged spur dikes on the maximum scour depth and scour patterns around spur dikes have been evaluated. Results showed that the dike orientation angle is the critical factor influencing the maximum scour depth. The presence of an ice cover and its roughness coefficient dramatically affect the channel bed deformation around spur dikes. The combined effect of the dike orientation angle, ice cover roughness, and flow Froude number resulted in different scour patterns. For instance, the upstream length of scour holes decreases by approximately 60% when the dike angle changes from 90º to 60º, while an increase in flow rate by about 50% leads to a 20% increase in the downstream length of scour holes. Equations have been derived to determine the maximum scour depth around spur dikes, considering the effects of ice cover, bed material and the dike layout angles.
Bildungspolitik ist Arbeitsmarktpolitik

Based on empirical evidence, we argue that recent declines in the basic skills of German pupils are highly concerning from a labour market policy perspective. High-quality schooling is crucial for meeting the demands of a changing labour market, as it provides new cohorts of workers with basic and self-productive skills and facilitates the acquisition of more complex skills and lifelong meta-competences. Therefore, education policy must be seen as an integral part of labour market policy. However, there is a distinct lack of communication and coordination between labour and education policy in Germany, due to misaligned incentives and fragmented responsibilities. Recent reforms provide hope that the necessary capacity building can be achieved.

In this interview, Christian Dustmann discusses current opportunities and challenges for the German labour market. The interview covers a wide range of topics such as the differences between labour migration and refugee migration, the flexibilisation of working conditions to attract and retain more people in the labour force, the role of free collective bargaining and continuous training, and ends with remarks on the quality and availability of data for labour market economics and contributions to economic policy.
Verteilungswirkungen und Fallstricke des Faktorverfahrens bei der Lohnsteuer

The German coalition agreement (2021) intends to transform withholding tax class combination III/V for married couples to the symmetric tax class combination IV/IV with a factor, to strengthen economic independence and fairness. The taxation with a factor could eliminate possible disadvantages of tax class combination III/V, particularly the high marginal tax burden in tax class V. The planned reform is associated with several pitfalls. We present the expected reform effects on tax revenues and income distribution, which we calculate using a microsimulation model. We then discuss possible difficulties associated with the reform’s implementation, in particular those concerning individuals employed less than 12 months and sole earners.
