Authors: Azaki Naufal
Published: July 2024

This study employs the basic economic theory approach to evaluate the performance of regional economic development in Sragen Regency, Central Java Province. The primary objective is to identify the base/leading and prospective economic sectors that could bolster regional productivity. The study utilizes a quantitative approach, employing the Location Quotient and Shift Share methods. The data used for this analysis is the secondary data of the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of Sragen Regency and Central Java Province from 2015 to 2019. The research findings reveal six sectors as the base/leading and prospective sectors. These include Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Electricity and Gas Procurement, Wholesale and Retail Trade, Car and Motorcycle Repair, Corporate Services, and Other Services. These sectors are considered pivotal in driving the region’s economic growth. In addition to these, ten other sectors, while not being the base, show prospective development. These sectors present potential opportunities for further economic expansion. However, the Mining and Quarrying sector falls into the category of non-basis and is not considered a prospective sector. The Shift Share Analysis results indicate that the Manufacturing Industry outperforms other sectors in terms of competitiveness in the Sragen Regency. This suggests that the Manufacturing Industry holds a significant position in the region’s economic landscape. In conclusion, the study provides valuable insights into the economic sectors that are instrumental in strengthening regional productivity in Sragen Regency. It also highlights the sectors with potential for future development, thereby guiding strategic planning for regional economic growth.

Abstract
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has a goal to efficiently conduct aggregate exposure assessments (AEAs) for chemicals using both exposure models and human biomonitoring (HBM) data by 2030. To achieve EFSA's vision, a roadmap for action for advancing aggregate exposure (AE) in the EU was developed. This roadmap was created by performing a series of engagement and data collection activities to map the currently available methods, data, and tools for assessing AE of chemicals, against the needs and priorities of EFSA. This allowed for the creation of a AEA framework, identification of data and knowledge gaps in our current capabilities, and identification of the challenges and blockers that would hinder efforts to fill the gaps. The roadmap identifies interdependent working areas (WAs) where additional research and development are required to achieve EFSA's goal. It also proposes future collaboration opportunities and recommends several project proposals to meet EFSA's goals. Eight proposal projects supported by SWOT analysis are presented for EFSA's consideration. The project proposals inform high‐level recommendations for multi‐annual and multi‐partner projects. Recommendations to improve stakeholder engagement and communication of EFSA's work on AEA were gathered by surveying stakeholders on specific actions to improve EFSA's communication on AE, including webinars, virtual training, social media channels, and newsletters.

Fungal species associated with the surface of selected green leafy vegetables from Bwari market, Abuja - Nigeria: implications on consumer health
Authors: Eucharia Chizoba Ezigbo  , Daniel Makolo
Published: July 2024

The growing demand for fresh vegetables has necessitated larger production and the substantial production of vegetables within the shortest possible time to meet the ever-increasing demand has placed them at a higher risk of contamination with the pathogenic microbes, making the safety of consumers uncertain. This study aimed to discover the fungal species found on the surface of green leafy vegetables and their implications on consumers' health. Four (4) species of green leafy vegetables (GLV) which include; waterleaf (Talinum fruticosum (L.) Juss.), African basil (Ocimum gratissimum L.), green amaranth (Amaranthus viridis L.) and fluted pumpkin leaves (Telfairia occidentalis Hook.f.) were randomly purchased from different parts of Bwari market in Abuja, Nigeria and analyzed using pour plate method. The studies discovered four different fungal species, including Aspergillus spp, Candida albicans, Rhizopus spp, and Penicillium spp. This confirmed that microorganisms naturally occur in every environment and can get food products contaminated. Since some of them are pathogenic, unhygienic handling of those vegetables can cause severe health effects on humans. Several measures have given positive hopes in controlling contamination caused by microbes which include washing vegetables with vinegar water. Washing vegetables with saltwater is also effective but adequate precautionary measures are necessary which include ensuring that the same water is not used to wash different vegetables from different sources that could be carrying different microbes.

The article summarizes the data and examines the elements of the "Vinetа" stage of their life path, establishes unknown facts of their pre-war biographies, common and similar features of the latter. Conclusions. Ukrainian intellectuals, artists or high-level specialists were invited to work in the Ukrainian editorial office of the “Vineta” special department. The common biographical feature of the staff is intellectual creative activity, pursuit of literature, journalism, fine arts, etc. in Europe or the USSR; repression by the Soviet authorities. Most of them worked in educational and scientific institutions in Berlin, Prague, Warsaw, Kyiv, etc. during the interwar period. The participants of the Ukrainian Revolution of Liberation identified in the article were veterans of the 3rd Iron Division of the Active Army of the Ukrainian People's Republic. The corporate connections of the rest were: participation in political activities, membership in political organizations, joint professional, scientific and artistic activities. In the post-war period, a certain number of staff members settled in Munich and/or left for Canada, the USA, Argentina and Australia. Most of the former employees of the special branch continued their activities even after the war in the fields of politics, economy and culture.

Reproduced: Distribution-based Learnable Filters with Side Information for Sequential Recommendation
Authors: Decker Jarne Mathi
Published: July 2024

Sequential Recommendation aims to recommend relevant items to users based on their past interactions. In the paper "Distribution-based Learnable Filters with Side Information for Sequential Recommendation", the authors present DLFS-Rec, an innovative model for Sequential Recommendation that aims to outperform state-of-the-art models by utilizing gaussian embedding, including relevant side information as well as implementing learnable filters on the frequency domain to attenuate noise. In the following, we conduct experiments with the presented model to find out whether or not we can confirm the claimed superiority of DLFS-Rec over other state-of-the-art approaches. We find out that the papers results can be replicated as DLFS-Rec outperforms baseline models on the datasets used in the original experiments as well as on different datasets we introduce.
Theoretical Proof of de Broglie's Wave Function
Authors: ShengQin
Published: July 2024

This paper, based on the "Unified Theory of Forces," rigorously proves the formula of de Broglie's wave function. This helps us better understand the following important issues: 1) Theoretically prove and understand the essence of de Broglie's wave function; 2) Prove that when the particle's momentum P is determined, the greater the mass of the particle, the more concentrated its wave function distribution, and the weaker the interference effect; 3) Correct the spatial distribution of the wave function of free particles, proving that the wave function of free particles is strictly constrained within a finite spatial range, which is consistent with the facts we observe.
Global research on Human development index: bibliometric analysis and policy insights
Authors: Roy Ajishnu
Published: July 2024

The Human Development Index (HDI) has transformed the global development landscape since its adoption (1990). This bibliometric review aims to clarify the contributions HDI literature (1990-2023). A corpus of 3459 original publications, sourced from Web of Science, were analysed and visualised using ‘R’ and VOSviewer. The characteristics, clustering, networks, and trends within publications, publishers, authors, journals, institutions, funding agencies, collaborations, etc. were assessed. According to the results, there has been a 21-fold rise in publications (2000-2023), indicating a growing global interest in assessing human prosperity. It was greatly aided by funding organisations including NSFC (China), CAPES (Brazil), and CNPq (Brazil), which demonstrates national governments' dedication to enhancing development metrics. There is clear prevalence of contributions from the global south (such as Brazil and China). The focus on tackling challenges pertinent to low- and middle-income nations is highlighted by the involvement of global funders including the WHO, USAID, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In both Europe and South America, there were clear regional research alliances. In addition, the study offers a variety of policy perspectives that scholars and policymakers, to bridge gaps in the literature and enhance the contribution of HDI to the accomplishment of essential human development goals.
The Hyper-Torus Universe Model - A New Paradigm for Understanding Reality
Authors: McCammon Chad Russell
Published: July 2024

The Hyper-Torus Universe Model (HTUM) proposes a novel framework to unify quantum mechanics, cosmology, and consciousness. This paper introduces HTUM’s core concept: a higher-dimensional hyper-torus encompassing all possible states of existence. HTUM suggests that the universe functions as a quantum system where all outcomes are inherently connected, with consciousness playing a significant role in actualizing reality. The model introduces several key innovations, including the universe’s 4-dimensional toroidal structure (4DTS) (4DTS), providing a new geometric interpretation of spacetime.HTUM presents dark matter and dark energy as nonlinear probabilistic phenomena within this toroidal framework, offering a unique perspective on their nature and interactions. The model proposes a mechanism for wave function collapse through universal self-observation, bridging quantum mechanics and gravity. It introduces a Topological Vacuum Energy Modulator (TVEM) function, offering a potential resolution to the cosmological constant problem.Furthermore, HTUM integrates consciousness as a fundamental aspect of the universe, influencing quantum state actualization and potentially resolving the hard problem of consciousness. The model explores the implications of a timeless singularity and the emergence of time as a product of causal relationships within the toroidal structure.This framework addresses critical challenges in modern physics, including the nature of quantum entanglement, the origin and fate of the universe, and the relationship between mind and matter. The paper discusses the mathematical formulation of HTUM, its implications for quantum mechanics and cosmology, and its potential to bridge the gap between science and philosophy.We present detailed predictions for the cosmic microwave background (CMB) (CMB) power spectrum, gravitational wave signatures, and large-scale structure formation, demonstrating how HTUM differs from the standard ΛCDM model. Our analysis reveals distinctive oscillatory patterns in the relative difference between HTUM and ΛCDM predictions, with deviations reaching up to ±20% at specific scales.The paper also explores the unification of fundamental forces within the HTUM framework, proposing novel approaches to particle physics and quantum field theory. It introduces the concept of unified mathematical operations, suggesting a more holistic approach to mathematical thinking that aligns with the model’s interconnected view of the universe.HTUM represents a significant new perspective in our understanding of the universe, inviting further research and exploration into the nature of reality, consciousness, and the fundamental structure of the cosmos. By providing a comprehensive framework that unifies various aspects of physics, cosmology, and consciousness studies, HTUM offers a promising path toward a more complete understanding of our universe.
Are LLMs “just” next-token predictors?
Authors: Hussain Zak , Mata Rui , Wulff Dirk U.
Published: July 2024

Large language models (LLMs) are often labeled as just next-token predictors devoid of cognitive capacities such as thought or understanding. We argue that these deflationary claims are premature. Drawing on prominent theoretical and philosophical frameworks in cognitive science, we critically evaluate different forms of Justaism that dismiss LLM cognition by labeling LLMs as just simplistic entities without specifying or substantiating the critical capacities they supposedly lack. Our analysis highlights the need for a more nuanced discussion of LLM cognition, aiming to better inform future research and the development of machine intelligence.
