Published: March 2024

In discussions of modern technology, the relationship between ethics and artificial intelligence (AI) has become precedent. As artificial intelligence (AI) grows increasingly pervasive in society, ethical concerns about its development, use, and impact on individuals and organizations become more important. This research explores the complex interrelationship between AI and ethics with the objective to provide a comprehensive understanding of the ethical prospective and issues related to AI development. Due to its widespread application, artificial intelligence has the potential to significantly impact human existence in several domains. A lot of study has been made to the ethical implications of AI's cognitive developments and how they might impact human rights. Even though the concept of AI is changing, its fundamental goal is still to perform better than humans at tasks, which raises concerns about how AI may affect human rights and dignity.

Authors:   TULI COLLEGE OF HOTEL MANAGEMENT, NAGPUR, Chawre Vishal W
Published: March 2024

Edible cutlery is made of food materials and they come with nutritive contents. It contains no chemicals, additives or even preservatives. They are 100% natural and baked products. Edible cutlery falls under food category and hence, hygiene is of paramount importance. Edible cutlery cannot be reused. These are baked at high temperatures; therefore, the likelihood of microbial spores to survive is very little. Even if these micro-spores land after production, they are not likely to germinate because, the products are dehydrated (which is why they have long shelf life, even without preservatives). The concept of edible cutlery is came due to increase in plastic pollution, which is covering the most of our Indian landfills. As plastic is a material, which can’t be recycle, it is non- biodegradable. Plastic is creating most of the dangerous disease to human being and animals, like cancer, which is the most dangerous disease for human being. So considering the factors which are responsible for the plastic pollution and the harms which are facing by the human being and animals on the earth, the alternative of plastic cutlery that is edible cutlery has been introduced. Once we start using the edible cutlery, the usage of plastic cutlery will be stop automatically, once people habitual to it. The purpose of this research project is to create the awareness about the edible cutlery in the people of Nagpur city. The best alternative for the plastic cutlery is edible cutlery, now why edible cutlery, as we all know that plastic may harm the human so by using edible cutlery no one will be harm using this. While travelling we can use this cutlery without creating the pollution like plastic cutlery. We know how plastic cutlery harms human body like irritation in the eye, vision, failure, breathing difficulties, respiratory problems, headache, cancers, skin diseases whether edible cutlery provides vitamins that we don’t get from our day to day meal, this edible cutlery also provides the good amount of minerals, such as zinc, iron, magnesium, which is the good source of nutritional diet.

People will believe in what they see rather than hidden facts. In recent times as technology is improving and it became very easy to change a particular person in an existing image or video with someone else. So, spreading these types of modified videos causes spamming and peculating wrong information over social media and this will cause the great extent of misleading and threatening to the common people. To overcome these tedious situations, we are building a deep learning model that will identify the genuinity of the video or image in terms of the origin of its source. In our proposed system we are using Long Short-Term Memory and ResNext. Key Words: ResNext, Convolution neural network, Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Long Short- Term Memory (LSTM), Computer vision, Deepfake Video Detection, Pre Processing, Deep Learning, Image Processing, Classification.

Published: March 2024

This study provides a thorough properties of the optical analysis of the thin films which produced from Astragalus tokatensis Fisch., Helichrysum noeanum Boiss. and Stachys huber-morathii R. Bhattacharjee extracts. Methanol extracts of plants were obtained via Soxhlet extractor. The highest extract yield (10.10%) was determined in H. noeanum. Doctor blade coating method is used to make thin film layer on glass substrate. The optical behavior of the deposited films is tested by means of he UV-vis-near IR absorbance and transmittance characterization. It is found that the maximum transmittance spectra reaches nearly to a value of 90 % for A. tokatensis sample. Significantly, all the samples display same optical absorbace spectra behavior. Energy band gaps of the films are presented based on Tauc relation and were found to be in the range between 3.68-3.81 eV. Besides, the analysis of functional groups available in the materials is broadly studied by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. FT-IR measurement also confirms that all produced films have carbohydrate pattern. These findings demonstrate a cost-efficient approach for the production of thin films with plant extraction, and open a new perspective on the potential applications of optoelectronic devices.
Challenges to Customs Imposed by the New European Union Value-Added Tax Rules on Cross-Border E-Commerce – the Case of Bulgaria
Authors: Antov Momchil
Published: March 2024

From 1 July 2021, new rules for value-added tax (VAT) on imports of postal and courier items entered into force in the member states of the European Union (EU). With the changes in the tax legislation of the member states, two thresholds for VAT taxation of postal and courier items from third countries have been introduced: the first for goods less than or equal to EUR150 and the second for goods above EUR150. These goods are subject to distance sale (i.e. internet sales to individuals in the EU) and are with a natural person. Three types of customs clearance are now possible for shipments in the first threshold — a standard declaration procedure, a special regime for declaration with deferred payment of import tax, and an Import One-Stop-Shop scheme (IOSS). These options greatly facilitate both importers and customs authorities, but at the same time, they create some new challenges for customs authorities, which need to be addressed. The customs formalities currently in force do not sufficiently cover the risks of fraud and error, as full physical control of these consignments is not possible. The Republic of Bulgaria is a relatively small market in the global online trade of low-value shipments, but the application of the new regulations shows certain trends in the processing of these shipments.
Advancing Women for a Gender-Inclusive Customs
Authors: Hong Sreya
Published: March 2024

The necessity and advantages of a gender-inclusive workplace are well recognised around the world. Much work has been done to support and advance women for a gender-inclusive Customs; however, facts and figures still remain low. The challenges faced by female customs officers are not very different from the challenges faced by women in any workplace. Here, the paper highlights the advantages of a gender-inclusive organisation and examines the underlying barriers by focusing on the Southeast Asia region. The paper then develops recommendations for customs administrations facing common challenges in this area. These recommendations, if implemented, should help customs administrations to advance their female officers and reap all the benefits gender equality can offer. This will allow administrations to achieve more gender balance and inclusivity, which will lead to more sustainable and modern customs administrations.

Authors: Lewis Deborah , Bakke Amy , Cook Amber , James Julie , Griffiths Carol
Published: March 2024

When multilingual students face the challenge of writing a doctoral capstone or dissertation, delays in academic progress may occur. The aim of this study was to identify writing challenges multilingual doctoral students face and provide recommendations regarding learner-centered resources to support timely academic success, as literature regarding multilingual students and language diversity in the doctoral environment is limited. A qualitative descriptive design was used for this study, and six multilingual DNP and PhD alumni participated. Data were collected using semi-structured audio interviews and analyzed using iterative content analysis. The findings support the need for community and culture to support language identity and doctoral writing development. Findings also support that early diagnostics of writing issues and opportunities for editorial feedback help support multilingual doctoral students. Findings also suggest a need for faculty and academic team development regarding the impacts of language diversity and culture on academic writing. Ultimately the goal is to help all graduate students preserve and share their identity in their writing.
Intersecting Identities and Adjustment to the Primary-Secondary School Transition: An Integrative Review
Authors: Harris Joanne , Nowland Rebecca , Todd Megan
Published: March 2024

The primary-to-secondary school transition is a milestone for children because of the multiple changes they must navigate. Although most adjust successfully, approximately 30% of children have difficulties during this transition. Intersecting identities are also likely to influence how children navigate the adjustment of the school transfer, but there have been no syntheses of existing evidence relating to the impacts of intersectionality. We conducted an integrative review using eight databases (Education database, ERIC, ProQuest Education, PsychInfo, Scopus, SocIndex, Sociology Database, and Web of Science) and searched for quantitative or qualitative studies that examined how intersecting identities impact children’s self-concept, mental health, and adjustment of the primary-to-secondary school transition. We initially identified a total of 3,193 studies through database searches, with 1,790 remaining after deduplication. After we screened the titles and abstracts, 83 studies were included for full-text screening, of which eight met the review criteria. The studies included in the review were published between 2000 and 2018; no studies were found after 2018. Syntheses of the included studies (three quantitative studies, four qualitative studies, and one mixed methods study) revealed three themes: (1) academic and social discord; (2) defining and constructing negative identities; and (3) the female body. Our findings from the review highlighted how children with minority intersecting identities are faced with additional challenges during the transition to secondary school and how these can have negative ramifications for their self-concept, mental health, and adjustment to the transition. Future research needs to be directed away from prioritizing identities, such as gender and ethnicity, to include intersectional identities.
Racismo e gênero: a sala de aula como espaço de ações de combate a intolerância
Authors: Mesquita Roseane Santos , Fontes Maria Vitória Santos
Published: March 2024

Este artigo discute a presença do racismo no contexto escolar, salientando a importância do conhecimento e aplicabilidade das leis vigentes como também falta de estruturação didático-pedagógica no que concerne a metodologia do ensino das relações étnico-raciais com vistas ao combate de ações preconceitos e sexistas. A partir de um levantamento teórico, buscou-se contribuir dentro da perspectiva metodológica, como professores podem auxiliar, por meio da prática docente, para a afirmação da cultura afrodescendente e combate de ações racistas e sexistas no Brasil. Com base nos autores que já discorreram sobre o tema, compreende-se que o preconceito racial e de sexo, está presente nos espaços escolares, permeando discursos e práticas de professores, no sentido da naturalização da não aceitação dos conteúdos étnico-raciais e de gênero. Entendendo raça e sexo, como marcadores sociais de difícil dissociação quando o debate está pautado nas ações de combate as intolerâncias e suas formas de enraizamento. É possível que, apesar de os limites estabelecidos por uma cultura racista e sexista, os docentes podem lançar mão, de práticas pedagógicas, voltadas a superação do racismo e sexismo, com a inclusão dos referidos temas que favoreçam o reconhecimento de atos discriminatórios, bem como o estímulo da percepção crítica reflexiva de alunos.

Published: March 2024

By integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Health Belief Model (HBM), this study examines factors influencing flood preparedness intention among household renters in the East Coast Region of Malaysia. The study utilized purposive sampling, involving the collection of data from 150 household renters residing in the East Coast Region of Malaysia through an online survey. The collected data were then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Smart Partial Least Squares (SmartPLS). The results revealed that past experience (PE) was positively associated with both perceived severity (SEV) and susceptibility (SUC). However, both SEV and SUC were not correlated with attitude (ATT). Among the three determinants originating from TPB, only ATT was found to be correlated with flood preparedness intention (INT). It is worthy to notify that trust in public protection (TPP) played a moderating effect on the relationship between ATT and INT. The findings will offer valuable insights for policymakers, renters, landlords, and community organizations to develop targeted interventions and bolster flood preparedness among household renters in the East Coast region, ultimately fostering resilience and mitigating the impact of future flood events. Besides that, this study provides firsthand information on the predictors of flood preparedness behavior among household renters in the East Coast Region, Peninsular Malaysia.

Authors: Dişli Gülşen , Kilit Rukiye Merve
Published: March 2024

Various methodologies have been developed to determine the risks of cultural properties that have been exposed to various risks since their construction and to make proposals for their preventive conservation. This study aims to protect the cultural, architectural, historical, and documentary values of historic buildings by identifying their threats and potential risks for risk management and preventive conservation studies and determining their risk levels considering the degree of vulnerability and frequency of occurrence in order to ensure their sustainability. Karaman Hatuniye Madrasa and Karaman City Museum were selected as case studies for cultural heritage risk management. The following standards were used to determine risk levels: the RE-ORG method for museum storage facilities, ICRROM’s (2016) “Guide to Risk Management of Cultural Heritage” and ISO 31000 (2018) for risk analysis, and UNI EN 16096 (2012) standard for current condition assessment, risk priority, urgency class, and recommendation classification. The hazards and potential risks were identified and classified through field observations, literature review, archival research, oral interviews, and data from national (AFAD) and international (EM-DAT) databases. The results showed that Karaman Museum has a medium risk level and RE-ORG is required in the building and collections only, on the other hand, Hatuniye Madrasa has a high-risk level. In particular, abandonment/underuse and faulty restoration works are the main factors that increase the risk level. The study is important for the protection and conservation of Hatuniye Madrasa and Karaman Museum and their collections through risk management and preventive conservation measures and is an example of systematic assessment of risks in cultural properties.

Authors: Puspitasari Ayu Jati , Karthika Risky Nurseila , Nugrahani Puspa Ayu , Febrianti Widya , Hidayati Nur Rahmah
Published: March 2024

A gamma camera image is produced by a gamma camera that detects the gamma radiation emitted by the radioactive substance or radiopharmaceutical injected into the body. The gamma camera image sometimes has noise that can interfere with the diagnosis. This image is commonly affected by a Poisson-type random noise. This research proposes using a spatial domain filter to study Poisson noise reduction in gamma camera images. The image sample used is the image of a mouse injected with Lu-177-DOTA Trastuzumab with 100 µCi activity detected using a dual-head gamma camera with NaI(Tl) detectors. The grayscale image is treated with Poisson noise, then improved using a spatial domain filter. The spatial domain filters used include Mean, Median, Wiener, and Spatial Lowpass Filters. The mean filter is the best one that can reduce Poisson noise among the four applied filters. The best filter size for noise reduction is 3 with MSE 5.07, PSNR 41.08 dB, and SSIM 0.99.

Published: March 2024

Mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA(s) are inherited maternally, in other words they can only be inherited through females in a family, which makes them frequently used in forensic studies. In this research, the Hypervariable-I part (HV-1) in the D-Loop region of the ancient forensic samples acquired from Lore Highlands will be compared with present day human DNA from the same region. The steps conducted in this research includes DNA extraction, mtDNA amplification with specific primers, sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis. The analysis were done between 4 ancient forensic samples; A, B, G, and J, and 33 comparison sequences from GenBank, including ancient forensic sample acquired from Tadulako site, Lore Highlands, from previous research. The result of genetic distance analysis showed that the distance between 37 samples were very close; with difference ranging from 0,02% - 0,13%. The analysis also gives a clue about Austronesian relation with Australomelanesian. The result from phylogenetic tree reconstructions (maximum-likelihood and neighbor-joining) showed little differences. However, there is a small significant difference detected from the neighbour-joining tree construction result and will be discussed further in this paper.

Published: March 2024

Excavations at the Pawon Cave Site in 2019 and 2021 from boxes T2U1, T2S1, T3U1, T3S1, and T4S1 led to the discovery of 976 specimens of animal teeth that could be used to reconstruct the past of the Pawon’s Cave Site environment. To determine the level of animal taxa to the location of the teeth, taxonomic and anatomical analyses were carried out, while environmental reconstruction was carried out through environmental analysis based on the distribution of faunal functional groups by Julien Louys (2012). The research method consists of six steps, namely formulation, implementation, data collection, data processing, analysis, and interpretation. As a result, 120 individual animals from 13 different families were found at the Pawon Cave site with the dominance of the Cercopithecidae family in each four units of analysis. However, it is also necessary to the contribution of protein produced, so that large animals (megafauna), such as the Families Suidae, Bovidae, and Cervidae, have more potential to become main game animals for consumption, while the Families Cercopithecidae and Hystricidae become a complement to a variety of foods consumed. In addition, jewelry from shark teeth and canine teeth of Carnivora, Cercopithecidae and Suidae were also found with traces of modification in the form of perforation of the roots of the teeth and sharpening of the dental crowns. Thus, the human inhabitants of Pawon Cave are hunters who can utilize all the potential of animals from terrestrial, arboreal and aquatic habitats around the Pawon’s Cave Site.
Malacofauna from Cappa Lombo Site: Environmental Reconstruction and Subsistence Strategies of The Bontocani Highland Karst Region, South Sulawesi
Authors: Sulistiyo Restu Budi , Fakhri
Published: March 2024

The remains of mollusk shell fragments are ecofacts that can explain the environmental conditions occupied by humans, especially in the context of the Holocene period in Sulawesi. This research answers questions related to the types of mollusks found in the cultural layer and aims to identify malacofauna remains at the Cappa Lombo site, Bontocani, South Sulawesi. The data collection method was carried out through excavation, and the analytical method involved taxonomic identification, external morphological identification, taxonomic classification, and documentation. This study successfully identified 10 families consisting of 15 genera and species. Terrestrial gastropod mollusks consist of the families Alycaeidae, Cyclophoridae, Ariophantidae, Dyakiidae, Clausiliidae, Achatinidae, and Camaenidae. Freshwater gastropods consist of 2 families, namely Pachychilidae and Viviparidae, while the bivalve class is only represented by the Cyrenidae family, which inhabits estuaries. Based on this identification, this research shows that the reconstruction of the environmental conditions around this site indicates a wet rainforest environment, which tends to be covered with vegetation and primary tropical forest. Additionally, during the occupancy period, there was a change in land use around this site. Data on the presence of mollusks also indicate consumption. Although mollusks were not a primary dietary source, humans during the Holocene at this site were able to utilize the aquatic environmental resources around the site they inhabited.

Vegetarian and vegan diets are becoming increasingly common among Danish women of reproductive age. We reviewed the available literature via PubMed and concluded that varied and well-balanced vegetarian and vegan diets are safe and sufficient during pregnancy and lactation, provided that dietary supplements for folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin D are taken regularly. Additionally, it is important to ensure adequate intake of calcium, protein, and iron. Protein requirements may be higher for vegetarians and especially for vegans, though evidence is limited regarding the recommendation for increased protein intake if the diet is exclusively plant-based. Routine blood tests are not recommended unless there has been insufficient supplementation leading up to or during pregnancy, or if symptoms suggest a deficiency. We found no evidence to support supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). There is no indication of an increased risk of malformations for pregnant Danish women on a vegetarian or vegan diet compared to omnivores. The risk of delivering small for gestational age and low birthweight infants (<2500 grams) may be increased, but the evidence is conflicting and of poor quality. Vegetarian and vegan diets may offer benefits, such as a lower risk of excessive gestational weight gain and women consuming the lowest amounts of meat have a significantly lower risk of gestational diabetes. Vegans may face a lower risk of having large for gestational age infants. Vegetarian and vegan lifestyles are also compatible with breastfeeding, and provided women take the recommended supplements, there is no difference in the micronutrient content of the breast milk of vegetarian/vegan women compared to that of omnivores. Children of vegans and vegetarians with limited or no consumption of milk products or eggs are recommended to breastfeed or receive baby formula for at least the first two years of life.

Ethiopia's largest export commodity is coffee arabica, one of the most significant goods that significantly contribute to the national economy. However, diseases including coffee berry, coffee leaf rust, and coffee wilt have been significantly reducing its yield. In order to assess Gidami coffee arabica accessions’ reaction to serious fungal infections, this study was started. The total of 100 genotypes was evaluated under Gera and Haru field situations for these major diseases. Whereas, 92 accessions with two checks were tested under greenhouse condition for coffee wilt. The results showed a highly significant variation (p<0.001) among genotypes in both conditions with 0–51%, 4–36%, and 0–100% disease severity ranges respectively. Except the four accessions namely G67/13, G71/13, G54/13, and G66/13, most of them showed susceptible reactions to CBD under Gera conditions. As well, 36 and 12 coffee accessions revealed <10% CLR reactivity at Haru and Gera conditions respectively. But none of the accessions had resistance levels higher than the two checks (Challa and 8136) at either of the locations. In other word, Gera had much greater levels of CBD and CLR pressure than Haru. On the other hand, only two accessions, G57 and G20, showed 100% CWD survival rate in greenhouse environments. This study showed how plant genetics and environmental variables affect diseases development and demonstrated that the response of Gidami coffee accessions to the major coffee diseases highly influenced by geographical and genetic variables. Therefore, continual and massive genotype screening across the locations must be taken into account in order to get resistance genotypes as the best disease mitigation to overcome the coffee diseases problem.

Published: March 2024

The course and prognosis of hypothyroidism in humans are affected by the most common mutation in the hypothyroid protein, TSHR. To facilitate the potential mutant TSHR's interaction with Ulva fasciata's magnesium-chelatase, we utilize 3D Insilico drug docking approaches. The purpose of the entire research work is to introduce the seaweed protein against the humanTSHR protein using Insilico protocols. The translated amino acid sequence and three-dimensional chemical compound were taken from the NCBI database to perform drug docking procedures. In post-docking tests, advanced 3D molecular visualization capabilities were utilized. In post-docking tests, advanced 3D molecular visualization capabilities were utilized. The findings of the docking investigation indisputably demonstrate that amino acid mutational sites are directly suppressed by magnesium chelatase. The H-bond interaction between TSHR and magnesium chelatase is shown in three dimensions utilizing concepts from molecular dynamics techniques. Ultimately, we found that Ulva fasciata's pharmaceutical ingredient, magnesium chelatase, aids in the treatment of hypothyroidism. Hence, we finally conclude that one of the main endocrine hormonal problems is hypothyroidism, and our research serves to demonstrate how well the seaweed Ulva fasciata works as a unique medicinal agent to treat this disorder.

Os cursos de graduação em Medicina Veterinária no Brasil têm uma certa autonomia para construção dos seus projetos político-pedagógicos, desde que alguns componentes curriculares básicos obrigatórios estejam inclusos. Contudo, as Instituições de Ensino Superior que oferecem esse curso devem organizar, de forma coerente, a distribuição da carga horária destinada a cada componente curricular para garantir uma formação generalista, humanista, crítica e reflexiva com relação às atividades inerentes ao exercício profissional, no âmbito de seus campos específicos de atuação. Desta forma, o presente trabalho objetivou analisar as matrizes curriculares dos cursos de graduação em Medicina Veterinária existentes no Brasil, relacionando os componentes curriculares e as disciplinas ministradas por área de formação. Para tanto, foi desenvolvido um estudo exploratório, descritivo e de abordagem quantitativa, por meio de pesquisa e análise documental em matrizes curriculares de 196 cursos de Medicina Veterinária do Brasil, públicos e privados. As análises mostraram que as matrizes curriculares apresentam uma média de carga horária total de 4.547,6 horas. Desse quantitativo, 3.815,7 horas são referentes às disciplinas obrigatórias, 459,8 horas ao estágio curricular supervisionado, 53,5 horas para trabalho de conclusão de curso, 96 horas para disciplinas optativas e 122,6 horas para atividades complementares. Os dados da análise demonstraram que dentro das disciplinas obrigatórias, em média, 1.224,5 horas são destinadas às Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde, 299,1 horas às Ciências de Humanas e Sociais, e 2.292,9 horas às Ciências da Medicina Veterinária. Conclui-se que os cursos de graduação de Medicina Veterinária no Brasil têm cumprido, seguindo a legislação, a inclusão dos componentes obrigatórios em seus currículos. Contudo, existem variações entre os estados e as regiões brasileiras nessa distribuição de carga horária, em que a região Norte se destacou com as maiores cargas horárias destinadas às disciplinas obrigatórias e optativas, a região Centro-Oeste para o Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso, e a região Sul para o estágio curricular supervisionado.
