Study the degradation and photocatalytic activity of the methylene blue dye by mixing the Aloe vera extract with rust iron oxide nanoparticle
Authors: Kadhim Duha A. , Abid Muslim A. , Salih Wafaa Mahdi
Published: August 2023

Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have been widely used in environmental applications due to their low cost, safety, and effectiveness. This research successfully produced IONPs by hydrothermally reacting iron rust and Aloe vera gel plant extract at 100 oC for 18 hours in an autoclave cell. IONPs were produced to prevent detrimental effects on human health by degrading methylene blue dye (MB). IONPs were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The small crystalline size (19 nm), and (inverse cubic) structure (magnetite) of (Fe3O4 NPs) 600 oC were explained by measurements of XRD, whereas small crystalline (Fe902O) NPs of 300 oC were of 28 nm. FESEM revealed that the particle size of (Fe3O4) NPs at 600 oC using an aloe vera extract was (26.80 to 37.96) nm, whereas Fe902O (wustite) at 300 oC was tiny and crystalline at (31.63 to 130.3) nm. The strong absorption band for Fe3O4 NPs (magnetites) at 600 °C with aloe vera is explained by the FT-IR spectra. The absorption peak was high at (650) cm-1 and corresponded to the Fe-O series of Fe902O NPs at 300 oC. When the spectra showed the absorption peak, it was strong. Iron oxide NPs have been used for a short time in environmental treatment to remove MB dye. For 40 minutes of IONPs (Fe3O4), the results of degradation effectiveness (95%) were 300 oC for MB dye, but degradation efficiency (91%) was 75 minutes of IONPs (Fe902O) with aloe vera at 600 oC for MB dye.
Could juice from Viburnum opulus potentially prevent the formation of kidney stones? (an anımal study)
Authors: Ömerli Ayşe , Ulger Harun , Nisari Mehtap , Yay Arzu , Karatoprak Gokce Seker
Published: August 2023

The principal objective of this inquiry was to explore the potential impact of Viburnum opulus L. fruit juice in mitigating the occurrence of kidney stone formation within a rat model induced experimentally to develop kidney stones. Twenty Sprague Dawley rats were used in the study. They were placed in metabolic cages, with one rat per cage. Urine samples were collected every day during the study period. Biochemıcal values were measured in urine and blood. The rats were sacrificed, and their kidneys were removed and evaluated histopathologically after staining with Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) and Pizzolato's (PZ) staining methods. The biochemical parameters observed in the urine samples collected from the experimental group of rats exhibited more excellent proximity to the negative control group's corresponding values than those of the positive control group. Upon microscopic examination of histological sections, a notable resemblance in histological architecture was discerned between the experimental and negative control groups. Additionally, a reduction in the incidence of stone formation was observed in the experimental group when contrasted with the positive control group. In light of the outcomes elucidated herein, it can be deduced that the administration of Viburnum opulus (VO) water engenders an augmenting impact on citrate levels. This elevation in citrate concentration holds potential significance as it demonstrates the potential to curtail crystal formation. Notably, citrate ions exhibit an inhibitory role in the genesis of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals, thereby contributing to the prevention.
Recent developments in Spanish exports of non-travel services
Authors: Martín Machuca César , García Coral
Published: August 2023

Rationale

The strong growth in exports of non-travel services following the pandemic has contributed significantly to Spain’s economic recovery. It is therefore useful to analyse recent developments in these exports.

Takeaways

•The cumulative growth of real exports of non-travel services between 2020 and 2022 amounted to practically 50%. In 2022, they thus stood almost 20% above their 2019 level, a significantly larger gap than for other final demand components.

•The recovery in non-travel services exports following the pandemic has boosted this item’s sustained growth of recent decades and has been mainly underpinned by exports of business, transport and IT services, especially to the euro area and North America.

•The competitiveness of large Spanish exporting firms, which generally form part of corporate groups, might explain, at least in part, the robust growth in non-travel services exports after the pandemic.

Published: August 2023

Banks carry out activities to accommodate and distribute funds from the public to other communities, because the banking business relies on funds from the public that are stored in the bank concerned to be able to carry out its operations. Then, the more funds saved in the bank, the more developed the bank. The development of banks requires many people who become customers in a bank. Thus, to attract customers, banks issue products that aim to make it easier for people to make transactions, one of which is Mobile banking. Mobile-banking which functions as a service to facilitate online transaction activities. Therefore, to improve Mobile-banking services, it is necessary to evaluate the relationship between security, convenience, and speed of Mobile-banking services on bank customer satisfaction. To find out the relationship between security, convenience, and speed of Mobile-banking services on bank customer satisfaction, a contingency table with Chi-Square calculations can be used. The results showed that there is no relationship between customer satisfaction between the security and convenience of M-banking services. Customer satisfaction between security and speed of M-banking services is related. Customer satisfaction between the ease and speed of M-banking services has no relationship.

Practice of One Territorial Jurisdiction of the Federal High Court of Nigeria and the Need for Constitutional Amendments to Decongest the Courts
Authors: Abua Arinze , Nuagbo Ndukauba C.
Published: August 2023

This article reviews the decisions of the Supreme Court in Owners of M.V. Alabera v. NAIC (2008)11 NWLR (pt.1097) 182 which held that a State of Nigeria in relation to one another is outside jurisdiction of the Federal High Court of Nigeria and leave is required to issue, serve and mark as concurrent, one within and the other to be served outside jurisdiction and the recent decision of the Supreme Court that the Federal High Court has one jurisdiction means outside the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the case of Biem v. Social Democratic Party & 2ors unreported SC.341/2019. Even the issue of one jurisdiction portends a greater problem in that the courts will continue to be congested as some Federal causes are also determinable by the State High Courts and all appeals from Magistrate Courts, Customary Courts, High Courts all pass through the Court of Appeal, Customary Court of Appeal and Sharia Courts of Appeal all the way to Supreme Court. This article adopts the doctrinal approach of reviewing the cases and incidences of True Federalisms to recommend Constitutional Amendments to create state courts of Appeal and Supreme Courts to help decongest the courts and concludes that in as much as one jurisdiction problem of the Federal High Court has been clarified by the Supreme Court in Biem’s case, a lot in terms of Constitutional amendment to decongest the Court ought to be embarked upon as done in other countries such as the United States of America.
Measuring Streetscape Qualities in a Car-dependent City: The Case of Three Historical Streets in Bangkok
Authors: Surinta Phanita
Published: August 2023

This study aims to apply the five urban design qualities identified by Reid Ewing and Otto Clemente in a different context. To conduct this empirical study, Bangkok was selected to exemplify a car-dependent city, and three Bangkok streets were chosen for study. The measurement of streetscape qualities was carried out using two approaches, objective and subjective, which were then compared in order to gain insight. The study employed convergent parallel mixed methods, in which both the quantitative and qualitative data were taken into account. Objective measurement of streetscape qualities was done based on qualitative data using fieldwork studies, while subjective evaluation of users’ perceptions was done based on a quantitative questionnaire. Analysis was based on a set of physical features and the measurement protocol. Its application in this study revealed how the features and protocol can be further developed by considering the background and context of the studied area in order to more effectively capture the streetscape qualities of the city. The results revealed that the streetscape elements that are less perceived by car drivers and passengers in the city are the ones located on sidewalks and that building details are hardly noticed by these motorists. Apparently, spatial perception and streetscape qualities are likely to be overlooked or less perceived in a car-dependent city. In hindsight, this study tends to support the study of users’ perceptions and satisfaction as part of the data collection and analysis process in the study of urban design.

Published: August 2023

With the advancement of technology, the development of various industries has become inseparable from informatization. People's lives have become closely related to the network. While using the network to facilitate our lives, massive data is also generated. Traditional firewall technologies are no longer sufficient to meet current needs. Deep learning algorithms can establish complex mapping relationships between network data, and can extract hidden correlation features between data features to achieve data recognition and prediction. Therefore, this paper introduces Transformer and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) into the field of intrusion detection, and proposes an intrusion detection method based on the combination of Transformer-Encoder and BiLSTM (TBL). Deep Neural Networks (DNN) are used to further extract data features, and the softmax function is used to output classification results. In order to verify the effectiveness of this method, this paper trains and tests the TBL method on the NSL-KDD dataset, and verifies its feasibility and superiority.

With the rise of intelligent vehicle and driverless technology and the continuous improvement of vehicle speed, people have higher and higher requirements for vehicle safety performance. Mr Brake can be integrated with vehicle electronic control system to improve the corresponding speed of the braking system to a large extent and shorten the braking distance of the vehicle. This paper introduces the design theory and analysis of Mr Fluid. The working principle is introduced, and the torque required by the front and rear wheels of the vehicle braking process is deduced by the vehicle dynamics model. The Mr Fluid braking model based on PID control is built by using Matlab-simulink software. By tracking the straight line without fluctuation, the straight line with fluctuation and the right Angle path, the simulation results show that By adding PID control model to the magnetorheological braking control, it can effectively reduce the overshoot in the fluctuating route during the braking process, and the corresponding speed is faster and the path tracking effect is better, which provides an innovative thinking method for the development of vehicle brake and the development of driverless technology.

Based on the BERT model, the multi strategy hybrid method is used to further input the BERT output dynamic word vector into the CNN and BiLSTM models to further extract local features and features with long distance dependency, improve the accuracy of the model, and obtain a good classification effect on the government short video comment dataset, which is better than the single model.
Research on Application of Neural Network Model in Location Privacy Protection of Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Liu Jintao
Published: August 2023

Due to the characteristics of WSN (Wireless sensor network), attackers can easily eavesdrop on data packets transmitted between single or even multiple communication links, and separate sensitive data from multiple sensor information, which poses a great threat to location privacy. Therefore, it is very important to effectively protect the privacy of training sample data while using WSN. Neural network is an important research hotspot in AI field, and it is a model close to biological neural network in machine learning algorithm. In this paper, an application of neural network model in WSN location privacy protection is given. A CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) location privacy protection prediction protocol based solely on additive homomorphisms is proposed, which can effectively ensure that input features, model parameters, and intermediate values are not leaked during the prediction process. The experimental results show that the proposed method has good robustness and can effectively protect the private location of the source node.

‘What you see is what you get?’ De Rol van Belangrijke Sociale Partners en de Coronacrisis in het Eetgedrag van Adolescenten
Authors: Van den Broek Nina
Published: August 2023

Samenvatting

Veel jongeren hebben een ongezond consumptiepatroon. Waarom? Dit proefschrift biedt unieke inzichten in deze vraag door jongeren zelf, hun moeders, en hun beste vrienden te volgen over de eerste vier jaren van de middelbare school. Het bleek dat het eetgedrag van moeders, en minder dat van beste vrienden, samenhangt met de ontwikkeling van het (on)gezonde eetgedrag van jongeren. Zo bleek dat als moeders meer ongezond snackten, jongeren zelf later ook meer snackten. Ook werd het belang van moeders tijdens de coronacrisis aangetoond. Zo bleek bijvoorbeeld dat terwijl gemiddeld gezien de groente- en fruitconsumptie van jongeren blijvend was gedaald na de eerste coronalockdown, deze daling niet blijvend was voor jongeren van wie moeders meer groente en fruit aten. Hun groente- en fruitconsumptie was weer even hoog als vóór de coronacrisis. Samenvattend lijkt de appel dus niet zo ver van de boom te vallen. Voor toekomstig onderzoek is het relevant om de rol van andere sociale partners te onderzoeken die vanwege praktische redenen niet zijn geïncludeerd in het huidige onderzoek (zoals vaders, niet-biologische ouders, leeftijdgenoten anders dan beste vrienden, en broers of zussen). Zo kan een completer beeld worden verkregen van de socio-contextuele factoren die van invloed zijn op het eetgedrag van jongeren.

English Abstract
Many adolescents have unhealthy food intake habits. Why? This dissertation offers unique insights into this question by following adolescents themselves, their mothers, and their best friends over the first years of high school. It was revealed that the food intake of mothers, and less that of best friends, was associated with the development of adolescents’ (un)healthy food intake. For example, the results showed that when mothers snacked more unhealthily, adolescents themselves snacked more later on. The importance of mothers was also demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, it was found that while, on average, adolescents' fruit and vegetable intake had permanently decreased after the first corona-lockdown, this decrease was not permanent for adolescents whose mothers consumed more fruits and vegetables. Their fruit and vegetable intake returned to pre-pandemic levels. In summary, the apple does not seem to fall that far from the tree.
Developing Treatments for Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva
Authors:   , Smilde Bernard Jan
Published: August 2023

This thesis aimed to build upon and expand the pathophysiological and clinical knowledge of FOP and to contribute to the translation of this knowledge into new treatment strategies for FOP. Development of treatments is a process that goes through a number of steps: first, it is necessary to evaluate current knowledge of the disease’s pathophysiological triggers, which could provide potential mechanisms to interfere with its progress; second, these possible targets will have to be tested in preclinical studies in vitro; third, when proven effective these treatments have to be evaluated for safety in healthy volunteers before ultimately being tested in patients. This thesis followed a similar pattern: first of all describing (chapters 2-3) and expanding (chapter 4) current knowledge of the disease, then describing knowledge on populating organs with fibroblasts not bearing the mutation from bone marrow transplants (chapter 5), and finally, describing additional preclinical testing of the potential drug saracatinib (chapter 6) and a clinical protocol that will be used to test it in a clinical trial (chapters 6-7).
The Origins of Post-Authoritarian Federalism: Iraq 1992-2003
Authors:   , Aras Bahoz
Published: August 2023

Studies of the federal system have generally focussed on the consequences of its application. Most often, the reasons for the adoption of the federal system in its various forms are not examined in depth. A case study like Iraqi federalism may provide an additional building block to the literature on federalism and might also help to explain the rise of federalism elsewhere, especially in countries with deep-rooted diversity (DRD).
The debate about whether federalism is a durable, sustainable alternative to the unitary state for purposes of tackling ethnic, cultural, or religious strife has raised fundamental questions. Federal experiments have resulted in failed outcomes as well as successful ones. To better understand the dilemma of federalism’s successes and failures, I have chosen to study the origins of federalism, which might help explain the successes and failures of some federal systems. Hence, Iraqi federalism is just a case that will elaborate on that. In order to accomplish this, the dissertation focuses on the macro-level of Iraqi society; the major ethnocultural groups that are based on territory, and have participated in both the 1991-2002 federal process and, ultimately, the post-2003 federal process. However, in my final chapter of this dissertation, I will look at the key current issues, particularly militias as well as the rise of Al-Qaeda and ISIS in the Sunni region and elsewhere in Iraq, and whether it is connected to the federal system. By addressing the federal subject in the Iraqi context, I will provide a deeper understanding of why federalism emerges and how federalism is a political contract negotiated between minority and majority. I have strived to understand whether such a federal system can help to prevent ethnocultural conflict in a unitary state system distinguished by DRD. A state shaped by DRD is one in which national minorities have their own territory and capability of forming their own nation (e.g., Kurds in Iraq, French-speaking Canadians in Quebec, Catalans in Spain, etc.). Hence, this may result from the way that the nation-state paradigm can be adjusted to balance the principle of self-rule and shared-rule in a multi-ethnoreligious society. Finally, my dissertation attempts to contribute to our understanding of the essence of federalism in general, and in this region of the world - the Middle East - in particular. In this region, there has been an extensive history of ethnocultural and religious violence. This dissertation will enrich the debate about the federal literature, especially regarding ethnocultural conflict management and the prospect of restructuring the political system to reflect the genuine nature of nation-state society. Therefore, this case of federalism will contribute to ways of managing deep-rooted diversity by acknowledging it in a federal structure and consequently creating peace and stability. The lessons from Iraqi federal experiences might help to solve or manage other conflicts in the region such as those in Syria, Yemen, or even Libya.

Purpose: This paper contributes to the smallholder agriculture commercialisation literature by applying the Theory of Planned Behaviour in a developing country context. The study examines the Influence of Attitude, Subjective norms and Perceived behavioural control on the Commercialisation scaling-up Intent among smallholder village chicken farmers in North-western Zambia. Furthermore, the mediating role of commercialisation practices Intention is examined. Design/methodology/approach: Based on a quantitative correlational design, primary sample data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 556 village chicken smallholder farmers from two farming blocks in North-western Zambia. The data were analysed using statistical correlation and regression models. Findings: The findings indicate that attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control as well as commercialisation practices Intention have unique positive significant effects on Commercialisation practices intention (CPI). Further, CPI in turn positively Influences Commercialisation scaling-up intention (CSI). Research limitations/implications: Notwithstanding the research limitations such as the study being cross-sectional and based on one district in Zambia, the findings have important implications. For policymakers and enterprise support institutions, understanding the socio-psychological factors of smallholder farmers are important before introducing any interventions to promote the commercialisation of the village chicken. Additionally, for scaling-up to occur, farmers need to be encouraged to adopt commercialisation practices in management, investment and marketing. This would increase the chances of transitioning from subsistence to commercial farming. Originality: The study is among the first to apply the theory of planned behaviour in the village chicken value chain in the under-researched Zambian context.

AS RELAÇÕES DO TEOCENTRISMO COM O ANTISSEMITISMO A PARTIR DA CULTURA VISUAL MEDIEVAL: O VITRAL DA PAIXÃO TIPOLÓGICA NA CATEDRAL DE NOTRE-DAME DE CHARTRES
Authors: Feitosa de Amorim Junior Elias
Published: August 2023

Este artigo propõe um percurso didático-pedagógico que se orienta pela análise da iconografia presente no vitral da Paixão Tipológica de Jesus, datado do século XIII e integrante da catedral de Notre-Dame de Chartres na França.

O objetivo é explorar um conjunto de imagens medievais enquanto fontes históricas para a condução de uma ação investigativa dos discentes da Educação Básica no Ensino Médio sob orientação dos docentes no intuito de desenvolverem a análise crítica do antissemitismo presente no cristianismo medieval e a partir disso, elaborar algumas hipóteses sobre como a cultura visual medieval trazia no seu interior diversas referências que tinham o intuito de silenciar e apagar a identidade e religião judaicas.
USOS DA BÍBLIA HEBRAICA COMO DOCUMENTAÇÃO HISTÓRICA: POSSIBILIDADES E METODOLOGIAS
Authors: Da Silva Carmo Matheus
Published: August 2023

Dentro da deontologia própria do fazer historiográfico, a análise das fontes constitui-se como um ponto de partida para a compreensão de qualquer temporalidade histórica. Isso faz que a documentação tenha uma grande centralidade na pesquisa historiográfica. Além da documentação, o historiador precisa de métodos de pesquisa que lhe possibilitem extrair o máximo de informações possíveis da sua documentação. No que tange a História Antiga de Israel e Judá, a Bíblia Hebraica pode ser considerada como documentação histórica pertinente para o historiador, visto que ela dispõe de muitas informações pertinentes sobre as referidas sociedades na antiguidade. Todavia, o historiador precisa aplicar ao texto bíblico metodologias de análise históricas objetivando o melhor trato com sua documentação. Nesse sentido, a História não compreende o texto bíblico como sagrado ou inerrante, mas como qualquer outra fonte produzida pelo mundo antigo. Com base nessa questão, o presente artigo se propõe em fazer alguns apontamentos sobre as metodologias cabíveis ao historiador que deseja usar o texto bíblico como documentação histórica.
APRESENTAÇÃO DE DOSSIÊ

Há aproximadamente duas décadas, os professores André Leonardo Chevitarese (UFRJ) e Gabrielle Cornelli (UnB) foram pioneiros em fomentar pesquisas históricas acerca dos judaísmos e cristianismos antigos em universidades públicas brasileiras, as quais impactaram significativamente a produção historiográfica nacional. Reflexos de tais estudos são perceptíveis em diversas publicações acadêmicas, tais como monografias, dissertações, teses, artigos acadêmicos, além de produções midiáticas nas quais historiadores apresentam ao público em geral perspectivas historiográficas sobre as experiências religiosas dos cristianismos e judaísmos antigos e suas recepções na contemporaneidade, o que denota o fortalecimento e consolidação deste tema no campo da História. Apesar de tais iniciativas, o conteúdo segue limitado ao ambiente acadêmico, uma vez que diversos historiadores têm constatado o “abismo”, no âmbito da educação básica, entre as narrativas históricas escolares presentes em materiais didáticos e propostas curriculares e a pesquisa histórica, isto é, a produção do conhecimento histórico acadêmico. Diante disso, o presente dossiê pretende ampliar o debate e apresentar caminhos para o ensino de História dos judaísmos e cristianismos antigos com a finalidade de divulgar estudos recentes sobre a temática e contribuir para o aprimoramento da história ensinada.
CHOICE OF SALARIED EMPLOYEES ON NUMEROUS INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE
Authors: Rao Prof. Rakesh
Published: August 2023

The role of investment plays crucial role in the lives of many salaried employees. With the many options ahead of them, it may be confusing to choose one which is the most suitable. The research reached out to a randomly selected sample of 96 salaried employees from various fields and asked about their preference, awareness and knowledge about the many investment options by use of a questionnaire. The research found that salaried employees were aware about most of the avenues, but preferred to invest a selected few for their safety and long term benefits. It was not the high returns that attracted the employees but the safety of principle amount and long term wealth generation. Employees were seen to invest in safer areas like gold, real estate and long term shares .The research found that income of individuals and their gender did not have any influence on their investment preference but age and employment sector of the individuals had a toll on their investment preference.

Published: August 2023

This research investigates the relationship between religion, entrepreneurship, and social impact, using Abraham's life as an example of how these aspects can collaborate to bring about positive change in the world. Abraham's example shows how faith and business can coexist and impact the lives of his employees. As a result, Abraham is not only a role model for entrepreneurs but also an inspiration for individuals who want to make a meaningful impact on society through faith and business. This study emphasizes Abraham's example of faith and persistent entrepreneurial spirit. The aim of this research is to provide inspiration and direction for individuals who wish to combine their religion and work to make the world a better place. This paper uses a qualitative library research method, meaning that the source of this writing uses literary sources both from books and online journals related to the figure of the entrepreneur Abraham. Thus, the author builds theory and constructs Abraham's entrepreneurship and the relationship between faith and business.
Ukraine and the Ukrainian Question in 1914–1923
Authors: Razyhrayev Oleh
Published: August 2023

The article analyzes the development of the “Ukrainian question” during the First World War and its aftermath – a period when a new world order was emerging along with new nation-states in Central and Eastern Europe. Born in the mid-nineteenth century, the Ukrainian “national project” evolved from cultural to socio-political demands. It culminated in the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917–1921/1923, when an independent Ukrainian state emerged. Unlike Poland and the Baltic states, Ukrainian statehood did not last long. In March 1921, the western part of Volyn was ceded to Poland. Virtually all of Greater (Dnipro) Ukraine became part of the communist USSR. In 1923, the Entente Council of Ambassadors recognized the sovereignty of the Second Polish Republic over Eastern Galicia. In addition, after the First World War, Carpathian Ruthenia was ceded to Czechoslovakia, Bukovyna to Romania, and Ukrainians, as historian Stanislav Kulchytskij aptly noted, became “the only large nation of Austria-Hungary that did not achieve its own statehood after its collapse”. At the same time, the experience of state-building in 1917–1921/1923 became crucial for the Ukrainian national movement in the twentieth century.
