اركان تداول المطلع على المعلومة الداخلية للشركة المدرجة في سوق الأوراق المالية
Authors: احمد سهى , فلحي هيفاء
Published: October 2023

على الرغم من أن الالتزام بالإفصاح هو أحد العوامل التي تؤثر بشكل كبير على نجاح سوق الأوراق المالية وتحقيق استقرار المعاملات، إلا أنه لا ينبغي فهم هذا الالتزام بصورة مطلقة، حيث ان هناك أسرار للشركة وللمتعاملين في السوق يجب عدم إفشاؤها بشكل يضر بهم وبالتالي يؤثر سلباً على السوق.

   وعليه تتناول هذه الدراسة موضوع في غاية الاهمية وهو التنظيم القانوني للمعلومة الداخلية للشركة المدرجة في سوق الأوراق المالية، حيث يترتب على استغلال هذه المعلومة تأثير إيجابي أو سلبي على سعر الورقة المالية المصدرة من الشركة  .

 وقد نتج عن الدراسة أن جميع التشريعات المقارنة تحظر التداول بناءً على معلومة داخلية غير معلنة التي لم يتم نشرها للجمهور اذا كان لها تأثير على سعر السوق نظراً لأن تداول المطلع بناءً على اساس هذه المعلومة، سيكون له ميزه عن باقي المتداولين ويعود ذلك الى عدة أسباب منها أنه يخالف مبدأ المساواة بين المستثمرين، بالإضافة إلى احداث الخلل فيما يتعلق بحماية سوق الأوراق المالية وبما يؤثر على عدم غرس الثقة والطمأنينة بين المتعاملين .

We demonstrate a method to extract the heart outlines from noisy echocardiograph data in this paper. In order to eliminate significant noise and obtain improved image quality, our method is based on enhancing the image before applying contour detection. To accomplish that, we combine a variety of pre-processing techniques (filtering, morphological operations, and contrast adjustment) to enhance low contrast in echocardiograph images and avoid unclear edges. After applying these techniques, we are able to detect the boundaries of the heart and the movement of the valves using conventional edge detection techniques.
SAUDI ARABIA'S NUCLEAR ENERGY PROGRAM: CHALLENGES AND CONCERNS IN THE US-SAUDI ARABIA NUCLEAR COOPERATION NEGOTIATIONS
Authors: PEKAR Cıgdem
Published: October 2023

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has long been interested in nuclear technology and working towards developing the country’s nuclear energy infrastructure and nuclear legal framework. In view of recent advancements in Saudi nuclear energy, it is apparent that Saudi Arabia intends to pursue its nuclear energy program with the assistance of nuclear cooperation agreements. So far, the Kingdom has concluded several nuclear cooperation agreements with various foreign governments in order to advance its nuclear energy program. Although the United States (the US) and Saudi Arabia has not concluded a nuclear cooperation yet, the negotiations are currently underway. This study focuses on the Kingdom’s nuclear energy program particularly focusing on the challenging issues in the nuclear cooperation negotiations with the US. It puts that the two countries has not been successful to conclude a “nuclear cooperation agreement” (“123 Agreement”) due to several challenges and concerns. Major challenging issues are originating from the US insistence on its stringent conditions including restrictions on enrichment and reprocessing activities (“gold standard”) and Saudi implementation of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Additional Protocol (AP). The study first provides a short overview on the Saudi national atomic energy project and then focuses on the US provisions to conclude 123 agreements with other states. In the light of the US-Saudi nuclear negotiations, the study examines Washington’s demand for additional nonproliferation requirements and international concerns regarding the Saudi nuclear program. It concludes that due to ongoing disagreements on these two additional conditions and other concerns including Saudis possible covert intents, regional proliferation risks and nuclear security threats, nuclear cooperation between the two countries has remained at a low level.

Positioning, Emotions, and Emotional Positioning
Authors: Lönngren Johanna , Berge Maria
Published: October 2023

This chapter introduces an emerging body of research exploring relationships between positioning and emotions. First, previous research is described and related to ways in which positioning has been related to emotions: (1) positioning processes can trigger emotions, (2) emotions can function as resources in positioning, (3) persons can be positioned as (un)emotional, (4) positioning theory provides a useful analytic lens for studying emotions, and (5) emotions can provide a useful analytic lens for studying positioning. Second, the concept of emotional positioning is introduced to focus researchers’ analytic attention on the various ways in which positioning is achieved in and through emotions and emotion discourse. Finally, four visions are outlined for future research on emotional positioning, focusing on (I) power issues, (II) multimodal data analysis, (III) integrating research and practice, and (IV) contributions to emotion research. The authors hope that a better understanding of key terms, previous research, and visions for the future research will inspire more positioning researchers and doctoral students to engage with this timely, exciting, and important area of research.
Evaluación educativa, edición cientifica y ChatGPT ¿Qué hacer?
Authors: Zapata-Ros Miguel
Published: October 2023

Distintos estudios han llegado a la conclusión de que no se puede distinguir lo hecho por un humano y lo hecho por ChatGPT y puesto que, cuando escribe ChatGPT, no hay ninguna persona comunicándose ni le es atribuible ninguna responsabilidad sobre lo escrito, la perspectiva de la evaluación y de la revisión de pares cambia radicalmente. Y por ende la educación, su organización y diseño, y la edición científica. De las cuales son aspectos centrales. La solución propuesta, en la Educación, es la evaluación formativa. En la edición científica proponemos una nueva revisión de pares, la que se base en la interacción con el autor. Señalamos la importancia de la entrevista, la supervisión y algo parecido a lo que es el mastery learning (1) en la educación: La asignación de relevancia a lo que dice el autor, en el contexto de revisión, en relación con lo investigado.Esto entraña una mayor carestía por el uso de recursos, particularmente de recursos humanos, un nuevo tipo de revisor con un trabajo mayor en una época en que no hay revisores, pero este es el desafío: Organizar una nueva revisión y edición para una nueva edición científica de calidad, para la validez de su función difusora de la ciencia.

Authors: Ismail Irfan Ananda , Insani Munadia
Published: October 2023

This study implemented a collaborative action research model using lesson study to optimize guided inquiry instruction on blood structure and function. The research was conducted at SMPN 32 Padang, an Indonesian junior high school implementing the Merdeka Curriculum. Two 8th grade classes (8C and 8B) 2023-2024 were involved, with the researcher, a pre-service teacher in the Teacher Professional Education (PPG) program, leading lesson study with the science teachers. Guided inquiry was used to actively engage students in the learning process and construct knowledge through investigation, teamwork, and discussion. The lesson study cycles involved collaboratively planning the guided inquiry lessons, observing their implementation, and reflecting on outcomes to refine the lessons. Data were collected through observation, student work, interviews, and surveys. Results showed increased student engagement, motivation, critical thinking, and science process skills. Students developed deeper understanding of blood structure and function compared to traditional teaching methods. Challenges included developing appropriate scaffolding for inquiry activities and managing active learning classrooms. This study demonstrates lesson study can be an effective professional development model for teachers to collaboratively design and improve guided inquiry instruction. The action research process led to optimized guided inquiry lessons on blood structure and function tailored to the local context. This model can be replicated and adapted to enhance pedagogical content knowledge and inquiry-based teaching practices in other science topics and grade levels. The collaborative, reflective practice strengthens teachers' capacity for data-driven instructional decision making.

A Parallel Feature-preserving Mesh Variable Offsetting Method with Dynamic Programming
Authors: Cao Hongyi
Published: October 2023

Mesh offsetting plays an important role in discrete geometric processing. In this paper, we propose a parallel feature-preserving mesh offsetting framework with variable distance. Different from the traditional method based on distance and normal vector, a new calculation of offset position is proposed by using dynamic programming and quadratic programming, and the sharp feature can be preserved after offsetting. Instead of distance implicit field, a spatial coverage region represented by polyhedral for computing offsets is proposed. Our method can generate an offsetting model with smaller mesh size, and also can achieve high quality without gaps, holes, and self-intersections. Moreover, several acceleration techniques are proposed for the efficient mesh offsetting, such as the parallel computing with grid, AABB tree and rays computing. In order to show the efficiency and robustness of the proposed framework, we have tested our method on the quadmesh dataset, which is available at [https://www.quadmesh.cloud].

The source code of the proposed algorithm is available on GitHub at [https://github.com/rainbowwing/PFPOffset].

Species diversity and vegetation structure of woody plants in regenerating Juniperus forest replacing Eucalyptus in the conservation area of Gullele Botanic Garden, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Authors: Atinafe Ergua , Weber Odile , Friis Ib , Seta Talemos
Published: October 2023

The Gullele Botanic Garden (GBG) adjoins the north-western limit of the city of Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia. The floristic composition, species diversity and vegetative structure of the woody plant species in the conservation area of the garden are presented from 81 plots (20 m x 20 m). A total of 104 woody plant species (90% indigenous, the rest planted or naturalised) of 83 genera and 47 families were recorded. The dominant families were Fabaceae and Asteraceae. The number of individuals of the most dominant species, Juniperus procera, decreases with increasing DBH and height class, which indicates a good and healthy reproduction potential of the species in the conservation area. No statistically meaningful plant communities could be identified in the conservation area. Many of the species present in the dry forests of the central Ethiopian plateau occur in GBG. The species richness appears to be relatively high in comparison with what other researchers have found in natural forests on the highland plateau; 87 native woody species (of which 11 are planted) in GBG, 57-97 (cumulatively 127) in Wof-Washa, 32-85 (cumulatively 113) in Menagesha and 41-77 (cumulatively 81) in Chilimo, 34-67 (cumulatively 69) in Entoto, though the definitions for woody species have varied between studies. Clustering on the floristic data gives four partly overlapping clusters with the lowest p-values for indicator species, but the distribution of the plots on clusters changes notably if information on Eucalyptus is in- or excluded. Ordination graphs with partly overlapping groups of species are presented. The findings in this paper can serve as a baseline to follow the regeneration of the conservation area towards natural forest. This is needed for future management and sustainable utilization of the forest species at local and national levels.
Applications of leaf architecture characters in delineating selected species and infraspecific taxa of Genus Cucumis L. (Cucurbitaceae)
Authors: Masungsong Lailani A. , Banaticla-Hilario Maria Celeste , Belarmino Marilyn M. , Buot Jr. Inocencio E.
Published: October 2023

Leaf venation characters of twelve (12) Cucumis taxa, comprised of eight species, three subspecies, and three varieties were examined to determine patterns of leaf architectural characters and delineate these accessions at the species, subspecies, and variety level. The leaf architecture of twenty-seven accessions representing six taxa were examined and described in this study. Additionally, data on the leaf architecture of another six taxa (represented by 57 accessions) published by Masungsong et al. (2022) were incorporated in the analysis. Results revealed that the twelve (12) taxa of Cucumis primarily varied in blade class, apex angle, primary vein size, secondary vein spacing, tertiary vein angle to primary vein, and areole development. These variations were found consistent with Cucumis species examined in previous studies. A dichotomous key was constructed for the twelve Cucumis taxa using leaf characters derived. Cluster analysis (based on UPGMA) formed two major clusters at 0.130 Gower distance. Cluster I includes Cucumis melo subsp. melo, C. pustulatus, C. melo var. flexuosus, C. melo subsp. agrestis, and C, melo var. texanus which exhibited secondary vein spacing that increases towards the base. while Cluster II is composed of the remaining Cucumis taxa, all displaying irregular secondary vein spacing. Furthermore, sub-clusters were formed based on tertiary vein angle in relation to primary vein, blade class, apex angle, and primary vein size. Results showed that utilizing leaf architecture is an effective technique to describe, characterize and delineate closely related taxa with many similar characters.

Personal Growth through Traditional and Radical Partnerships
Authors: Ntem Anita
Published: October 2023

Given my initial lack of knowledge in the field of partnerships, the ambiguity and uncertainty of my role throughout my partnerships fostered different key levers in challenging traditional pedagogy. Through this realization, I have exercised patience and the ability not to indulge in assumptions but rather strive to fully understand the context of a situation. This essay explores my experience in three distinct partnerships. My first partnership inspired me to learn about the contextual factors that play a role in classroom pedagogy. My second partnership pushed me to accept my discomfort with ambiguity. And my last partnership encouraged me to explore what kind of leader I was becoming. These three partnerships crafted my role and understanding of what it meant to be an effective and meaningful student partner.

From Novelty to Norm

Published: October 2023

In this chapter, we follow two student-faculty projects, focusing on the students’ experiences therein, to surface ongoing concerns about the full inclusion of undergraduate students in the scholarship of teaching and learning. We then turn to the notions of internal exclusion and double justification to explore how those who are included in the conversation may still not fully be heard and how students and student-faculty partnerships are often met with skepticism and thus face a justificatory burden that other research does not. We conclude with a call to shift the frame from the question asked or implied of student-faculty partnerships: “why are students involved in this research?”; instead, we call for us to collectively ask those projects that do not include students “why aren’t students involved with this research?”
Unlearning Hierarchies and Striving for Relational Diversity
Authors: Guitman Rachel , Acai Anita , Mercer-Mapstone Lucy
Published: October 2023

Student-staff partnership is a growing field within higher education. As a theory and practice aimed at more equitable power sharing between students and staff, it is often underpinned by a desire to redress inequities in the academy. As feminists, women, and students engaging in partnership, we saw connections between feminism and equity in the partnership field. This manifesto lays out aspirational goals we hold for the field of partnership, setting agendas and making calls to action based on concepts drawn and adapted from feminist theorists, namely, the process of unlearning hierarchy and a need to more deeply embrace relational diversity.

Authors: Mehedie Lt Col (Dr) Abdullah , Maheen Maj (Dr) Durdana , Hamid Col Prof (Dr) Md Abdul
Published: October 2023

Background: One of the most frequent abdominal emergencies requiring emergency surgery is acute appendicitis, and appendectomy is the most common emergency procedure performed globally. There is an urgent need for a predictor of the severity of acute appendicitis since delayed identification and treatment of severe appendicitis are linked to higher risks of perforation and postoperative morbidity, mortality, and prolong hospital stay. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess how the severity of acute appendicitis is predicted by hyperbilirubinemia. Methods: This descriptive cross-section study was carried out in the Department of Surgery at Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Cumilla, during March 2021 to Feb 2023. A total of 80 patients purposing were included in this study. Among them 30 were diagnosed as complicated appendicitis and rest 50 were simple appendicitis patients. Patients diagnosed with complicated appendicitis and simple appendicitis irrespective of age and sex were included in the study. Patients who were not given consent to participate in the study were excluded from the study. After taking consent and matching eligibility criteria, data were collected from patients on variables of interest using the predesigned structured questionnaire by interview, observation, clinical examination and hematological investigation of the patients. Statistical analyses of the results were obtained by using window based Microsoft Excel and Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS-26), where required.

Infectious osteitis is often of dental origin and is caused by negligent or desocialized patients. Its chronic form is a public health problem due to its health and economic consequences. The objective of this work was to describe the clinical aspects of mandibular osteitis at the Sominé Dolo hospital in Mopti, Mali. From 2017 – 2022, we conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study on cases of mandibular osteitis who were seen in maxillofacial surgery consultations at the Sominé Dolo hospital in Mopti. This hospital is located in Sevaré and is the largest reference center in the 5th region of Mali. All patients were questioned and examined by a maxillofacial surgeon and additional examinations were carried out (BCN, blood sugar, serum creatinine, transaminases, SRV, TPHA/VDRL, mandibular radiography). During the study period, 47 cases of mandibular osteitis were included out of a total of 710 patients seen in maxillofacial surgery consultations, representing a hospital frequency of 6.6%. The ages of the patients ranged between 5 and 70 years with an average age of 17 years. The gender is divided into 25 men (53.2%) and 22 women (46.8%), i.e. a sex ratio of 1.1. The consultation time before 6 months was 71.5%, it was 11.9% between 6 and 12 months and 16.6% after 12 months. The osteitic lesions were located: the left horizontal branch (42.5%), the right horizontal branch (25.5%), pan-mandibular (14.3%), the left ascending branch (10.6%), the right ascending ramus (10.6%) and the mandibular symphysis (2.4%). The osteitis of our patients was of origin: post-traumatic (6.3%), periodontal (4.3%), dental (89.4%). Traditional treatment was done by 36.1% of our patients before the medical consultation. Regarding treatment: five patients were treated medically (10.6%) and 42 were operated on (89.3%). Knowledge of this condition allows early treatment, which obviously avoids complications sometimes responsible for aesthetic and functional after-effects that are difficult ....

Published: October 2023

Native chickens in Ethiopia are characterized in a fragmented manner for their performance characteristics and genotypes. This review aimed to explore the production and reproduction performance characteristics as well as the morphometric and morphological diversity of Ethiopian native chickens. The investigation was performed on four production performance characteristics, including average egg per clutch, average clutch/hen/year, average egg set/hen, and average egg/hen/year, as well as six reproductive performance characteristics, including age at first laying, age of male chickens at first bred, age at which female chickens are first bred, the reproductive life span of males and females, and fertility percentage in various parts of Ethiopia. Some economically practical morphometric characteristics of native chickens, such as shank length, chest circumference, comb length, body weight, body length, keel length, wattle length, neck length, back length, and morphological diversity, were also summarized. Regarding performance characteristics, there were some variations in eggs’ average production performance per clutch (13.56-15.4 eggs) and clutch/hen/year (3.0-4.29) in Ethiopia. The average reproduction performance characteristics of Ethiopian native chickens for age at first laying (6.90-7.13 months), age of male chickens at first bred (5.87-6.15 months), female at first bred (5.20-5.93 months), the reproductive life span of males (3.79 years) and hens (3.56 years), and chicks hatched from set eggs revealed variation across Ethiopia. In various locations of Ethiopia, the average trait values reported for Ethiopian native chickens under the farmer’s management differed in terms of morphometric and morphological features. The variation observed in performance characteristics, as well as morphometrics and morphological characteristics for Ethiopian native chicken ecotype population, can help the native breed classification, unique trait conservation, and breed improvement intervention programs.

In response to the 2006 EU ban on the use of antibiotics as growth promoters, researchers have sought alternatives, leading to a focus on the beneficial effects of probiotics on chickens. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the probiotic mixture containing Lactobacillus (L.) farciminis CNCM-I-3699 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus CNCM-I-3698 on the growth, production indicators, and edible organs of broiler chickens. Three trials were conducted, each consisting of 260 newly hatched Ross 308 broiler chicks (males and females) from a commercial hatchery, randomly allocated into control (n = 130) and probiotic-supplemented groups (n = 130). The dietary treatments were basal diet for the control group and basal diet + the mixture of L. farciminis CNCM-I-3699 (2.1010 GU/g) and L. rhamnosus CNCM-I-3698 (2.1010 GU/g) at a rate of 4g/10kg of diet for the probiotic supplemented group. Broilers were raised until day 35 of age, and their body weight and feed intake were recorded on days 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35. All broiler chickens were weighed on the first day. The investigated parameters included average weight gain, feed conversion ratio, cumulative feed intake, and the European Broiler Index. Daily mortality was recorded. The average organ’s relative weight was calculated for each group on days 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35. Although both groups yielded positive results regarding growth and production indicators, no significant differences were observed between the two groups, suggesting that probiotics may not provide expected outcomes when appropriate conditions and age-related requirements are met. The probiotic-supplemented group exhibited significantly accelerated growth in the heart and liver. However, relative organ weights did not differ significantly between the groups.

Traffic forecasting for city highways of the radial direction Evgeny V. Parsaev, Irina A. Teterina
Authors:   Parsaev E.V. Teterina I.A.
Published: October 2023

The article presents a method for determining the predicted traffic intensity on city highways with a radial direction. The main stages of the technique are presented in the form of an algorithm with step-by-step implementation. The main problems associated with determining the predicted intensity on urban highways of the road network are noted. The results of the implementation of the proposed methodology are presented, on the example of the projected road network of one of the micro districts of the city of Omsk. Graphically presented are the results of measurements of changes in the daily traffic intensity of both directions on the projected section of the road network. The assumption about the influence of the period of continuous survey of traffic intensity on the occurrence of an error in the obtained numerical values was experimentally confirmed. The time interval for measuring traffic intensity is recommended to obtain the most correct research results.

„Żądny wieńca Apollona”. Michał Kazimierz Ogiński jako muzyk w l. 1748–1761
Authors: Bieńkowska Irena
Published: October 2023

O popisach muzycznych M.K. Ogińskiego zachowały się wyrywkowe informacje pochodzące z różnych okresów jego aktywności muzycznej. W artykule podjęto próbę zgromadzenia i uporządkowania danych dotyczących jego występów w młodzieńczych latach, w tym podczas grand tour w l. 1753–61. Zachowana partytura kantaty La nascita do Amalia Friedricha Königa z 1750 r., w której wykonaniu w Warszawie jako pierwszy skrzypek wziął udział książę, dowodzi dużej sprawności w grze na skrzypcach Michała Kazimierza jeszcze przed wyruszeniem w zagraniczną podróż. Po wyjeździe z kraju najwięcej zachowanych informacji dotyczy roku 1755 i początku 1756, gdy Ogiński przebywał w Berlinie. Dowodzą one regularnego aktywnego uprawiania muzyki przez księcia. Ogiński muzykował wówczas grając głównie na skrzypcach i nowej odmianie harfy – pojedynczopedałowej, którą popularyzował wielokrotnie m.in. na królewskim dworze Fryderyka II, a następnie podczas pobytu w Paryżu. Ponad pięcioletni pobyt Ogińskiego we Francji jest gorzej, jeśli chodzi o przetrwałe świadectwa aktywności muzycznej księcia, udokumentowany. W tym czasie twórcy włoscy przebywający w Paryżu zadedykowali Ogińskiemu dwa druki: Carlo Graziani, Sei Sonatas a Violoncello solo e Basso, op. 1 i Gaetano Pugnani, Six pieces à plusieurs parties obligez. Szczególnie drugi z dokumentów, wzbogacony epistołą dedykacyjną, potwierdza ówczesne kontakty Ogińskiego i Pugnaniego, a także każe zrewidować listę mistrzów, z uwag których książę mógł korzystać jako muzyk. Jego kontakt z Denisem Diderotem w Paryżu zaowocował natomiast zaproszeniem księcia do sporządzenia hasła „harfa” w słynnej Encyclopédie, opublikowanie którego przyczyniło się do spopularyzowania nowej odmiany instrumentu we Francji w II poł. XVIII wieku. Aktywne muzykowanie w ciągu całego życia, pozycja polityczna i charyzma Ogińskiego w znacznym stopniu przyczyniły się do przełamania negatywnego obrazu wysoko urodzonych osób uprawiających muzykę w Rzeczpospolitej i utorowały drogę szerszej aktywności muzycznej dziewiętnastowiecznych twórców i wykonawców.
