Facteurs prédictifs du risque de réhospitalisation et de perte d’autonomie chez des personnes âgées admises aux urgences : une étude pilote
Authors: Gangneux Charlotte , Charpigny Mathilde , Patry Claire , Leclercq Anne
Published: April 2023

Introduction : un nombre croissant de personnes âgées sont admises aux urgences chaque année, mais les contraintes temporelles et structurelles de ces services ne permettent pas de repérer de façon optimale les personnes à risque de réhospitalisation et de perte d’autonomie. Objectif : décrire la population des personnes de plus de 75 ans sortant des urgences sans indication d’hospitalisation, montrer la contribution d’une infirmière en pratique avancée (IPA) en regard des facteurs prédictifs de perte d’autonomie identifiés. Méthode : étude pilote, prospective, monocentrique, descriptive d’une cohorte de 67 patients, menée aux urgences. Résultats : l’étude a permis de décrire une population féminine, vieillissante et fragile. La réévaluation à six mois a permis d’observer un déclin fonctionnel pour 23 % des patients. Des facteurs prédictifs de perte d’autonomie, pour cette population d’étude, sont proposés. Discussion : ces résultats, cohérents avec ceux de la littérature, montrent la plus-value que pourrait avoir l’IPA en regard du déclin fonctionnel de cette population. Conclusion : la population âgée des urgences rentrant au domicile étant hétérogène, complexe et fragile, l’intervention d’une IPA a été mise en place pour améliorer la prise en soins des personnes et prévenir leur perte d’autonomie.
Écologie intégrale, comment la crise écologique conduit à des transformations de la pratique de la théologie
Authors: Revol Fabien
Published: April 2023

La question théologique sur l’écologie surgit en France en 1962 avec la thèse de Gérard Siegwalt en milieu protestant. Elle devient plus brûlante aux États-Unis en 1967 avec les premières réponses adressées aux critiques de Lynn White Jr dans son article sur les causes historiques de la crise écologique. Alors que la question écologique est introduite plus tard en milieu catholique par la médiation de la doctrine sociale de l’Église et donc sous l’angle de la théologie morale, il se passe plusieurs mouvements en théologie chrétienne qui invitent à penser les modalités des relations possibles entre théologie et écologie sous la forme d’une théologie de l’écologie ou écothéologie. Dans le contexte de l’écologie intégrale et de l’annonce de la Bonne nouvelle de la création selon l’encyclique Laudato si’ , les critiques de White appellent notamment à remettre sur le métier la production des représentations de la nature fournies par le discours théologique sur la création issue de la Révélation. Or ces représentations ne sont pas neutres sur le plan d’une éthique de la relation entre l’humain et la nature. Le théologien se découvre ainsi une responsabilité éthique dans le cadre de la lutte contre la crise écologique, lui permettant d’explorer sa propre vocation à être gardien de la maison commune.
Nos traditions théologiques revisitées pour faire face au défi écologique
Authors: Behr John
Published: April 2023

« Elle passe, la figure de ce monde ». C’est ainsi que l’apôtre Paul mettait en garde il y a deux millénaires. Le présent exposé examinera, parmi les sources de la tradition, celles qui, au lieu de déplorer une stabilité perdue, considèrent plutôt le cycle de genesis et de phthora , de venue à l’existence et de disparition, comme le processus par lequel Dieu amène l’ensemble de la création au résultat final prévu dès le commencement. Nous allons voir qu’il faut pour cela prendre au sérieux la proclamation de l’Évangile selon lequel la vie advient par la mort, un don qui, à son tour, libère la création afin qu’elle fleurisse d’une manière que nous ne pouvons même pas imaginer.
Les Ateliers Où Atterrir ?
Authors: Breitwiller Anne-Sophie , Calvo Verónica
Published: April 2023

Cette communication revient sur la genèse du projet des Ateliers Où atterrir ? qui est à chercher dans la pensée et les intuitions du philosophe et sociologue Bruno Latour. Elle présente concrètement ces Ateliers, un parcours d’exercices. S’appuyant sur une relecture anthropologique de l’expérience, les auteures précisent le type de transformation recherché : une conversion appelée « atterrissage » qui interroge tout à la fois le lien des collectifs chrétiens à leurs territoires et ces territoires eux-mêmes, redéfinis dans l’expérience.
L’écologisme entre science et religion ?
Authors: Flipo Fabrice
Published: April 2023

L’écologie politique est accusée à la fois de scientisme et de religiosité, c’est l’une des raisons pour lesquelles le courant est fréquemment considéré comme antimoderne et dangereux. Cet article entend clarifier les termes de la controverse et dans ce but revenir sur les rapports entre science et religion, en politique, notamment revisiter le concept de religion séculière. Avec l’aide d’A.N. Whitehead, nous montrons que le possible est à la fois l’une des catégories les plus centrales du politique, et celle où tend à s’effacer la différence entre les affirmations relevant de la science et celles impliquant une certaine définition de la religion.
Relier le cri des pauvres et le cri de la terre : vers quels chantiers théologiques et quelles pratiques ecclésiales ?
Authors: Thomasset Alain
Published: April 2023

Relier le cri des pauvres et le cri de la terre ouvre de nouveaux chantiers théologiques et pratiques. L’article développe trois d’entre eux. Les recherches en éco-théologie de la libération montrent que la Bible peut fournir un imaginaire utopico-critique capable de transformer nos imaginaires idéologiques et nos pratiques dominatrices. L’examen de notre rapport au temps indique une désynchronisation avec le temps de la nature et le temps des pauvres qui appelle à un regard vers l’histoire du salut et la pratique du sabbat. Enfin la crise actuelle appelle à développer de nouvelles attitudes intérieures et en particulier la vertu d’espérance dont les pauvres sont des maîtres.
Set-valued fractional programming problems with $ \sigma $-arcwisely connectivity
Authors: Das Koushik , Treanţă Savin , Khan Muhammad Bilal
Published: April 2023

In this paper, we determine the sufficient Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions of optimality of a set-valued fractional programming problem (in short, SVFP) $\rm (FP)$ under the suppositions of contingent epidifferentiation and $ \sigma $-arcwisely connectivity. We additionally explore the results of duality of parametric $\rm (PD)$, Mond-Weir $\rm (MWD)$, Wolfe $\rm (WD)$, and mixed $\rm (MD)$ kinds for the problem $\rm (FP)$.
Roots Routes: Japan, Jamaica, and the Global Flows of Vintage Reggae Vinyl
Authors: Vilanova John
Published: April 2023

This article excavates the historical, cultural, and music industrial significance of the buying and selling of Jamaican vinyl records in Japan. It reveals an unexpected connection between alternative distribution flows and the persistence of material music in the digital era. The Japanese market for Jamaican records exposes an under-theorized distribution relationship between two island nations on opposite sides of the globe. The durability of this market—launched by amateurs in the 1980s and nurtured into a productive and ongoing discourse—suggests that the materiality of Jamaican vinyl has particular meanings in Japanese culture and that Japan has played an important role in the preservation of Jamaican vinyl. Research consists of interviews with Japanese reggae fans, record store owners, and artists, conducted at reggae record stores throughout Tokyo, Japan. Studying these connections is important because it reorients our approach to flows of music and requires an engagement with the materiality of music-industrial products despite digital distribution’s growing hegemony.

Authors: Lukes Laura A. , Abbot Sophia , Wheeler Lindsay , Henry Dayna S. , Case Kim , Baum Liesl , Wells Melissa , Brantmeier Edward J.
Published: April 2023

As centers for teaching and learning increasingly offer support and leadership for the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) at their institutions, educational developers need better tools to plan their SoTL programming. This article shares the work of a regional network of educational developers across six institutions in Virginia, who aimed to enhance SoTL offerings within and across their institutions. While SoTL tools and models for individual instructors proliferate, this community of practice noted a gap in support for developers doing more institution-level planning. Through their collaboration, they developed two tools for planning and launching institution-level SoTL programs: the SoTL Strategic Planning Worksheet and the SoTL Program Taxonomy. This article describes the development of these tools and assesses their implications for educational development practice.
Une sultane indienne à Paris : Alina d’Eldir, magnétiseuse
Authors: Ceci Andrea
Published: April 2023

Cet article se propose de reconstruire la vie et la pensée d’Alina d’Eldir (vers 1762-1851), prétendue princesse indienne et magnétiseuse célèbre à Paris au milieu du xixe siècle. La notoriété d’Eldir a été favorisée par son amitié avec un certain nombre d’hommes cultivés, tels que le marquis Agricol-Joseph Fortia d’Urban (1756-1843) et Jean-Baptiste-Modeste Gence (1755-1840), qui fondèrent un groupe nommé Cercle de la noble Porte de l’Élysée d’Eldir et, dès 1835, Ordre moral asiatique universel. En outre, l’article s’interroge sur l’ouverture de l’Ordre moral asiatique universel aux pratiques magnétiques exercées par sa maîtresse, présentées dans l’ouvrage La Vérité du magnétisme prouvée par des faits (1829). En analysant les comptes-rendus des guérisons magnétiques effectuées par d’Eldir, l’essai met en évidence la composition de sa clientèle, les pratiques qu’elle utilisait et les modifications que le sexe du guérisseur pouvait apporter aux relations entre magnétiseur et magnétisé.
La dénonciation du comité autrichien
Authors: Lemny Stefan
Published: April 2023

Le soi-disant comité autrichien est l’un des thèmes de l’imaginaire des révolutionnaires habités par la peur des complots. L’historien américain Thomas E. Kaiser l’a bien étudié de ce point de vue en y voyant « le principal levier » utilisé par les Brissotins pour justifier la déclaration de guerre contre l’Autriche. Ce cas peut servir également d’exemple pour étudier un autre phénomène révolutionnaire sans lequel le comité autrichien n’aurait pas suscité tant de controverses à l’époque : la dénonciation.En effet, le comité autrichien est révélateur non pas seulement de la place qu’occupe la dénonciation dans la vie publique, telle qu’on la voit dans la presse, mais aussi de l’activité judiciaire, avant de s’imposer même sur la scène parlementaire, jusqu’aux affrontements politiques quelques mois avant la chute de la monarchie.
Atterrissage forcé pour les normes de genre
Authors: Ernst Jacques
Published: April 2023

La décision rendue par la chambre sociale de la Cour de cassation le 23 novembre 2022 est importante à plusieurs égards. D’une part, en retenant que la « perception sociale de l'apparence physique des genres masculin et féminin » ne peut pas justifier une différence de règlement concernant la coiffure autorisée pour les personnels masculins et féminins d’Air France, les juges ouvrent la voie à l’élimination des injonctions professionnelles d’adopter une apparence physique correspondant aux normes de genre. D’autre part, cette décision donne à voir un droit français de la non-discrimination particulièrement effectif grâce à la mobilisation croisée de plusieurs critères et à l’intégration des stéréotypes de genre dans le raisonnement des juges.
Integrated Analysis of Land Suitability of Rural Areas in the Aim of Planning and Management of Border Regions of Portugal
Authors: Quinta-Nova Luís , Castanho Rui Alexandre
Published: April 2023

Biophysical land planning aims to choose the land uses according to soil suitability, contributing to integrated and economically sustainable land use. Suitability is a measure of how well the qualities of a land unit match the requirements of a particular form of land use. The process of land suitability classification is the evaluation and grouping of specific land areas in terms of their suitability for a defined benefit. In this chapter, the authors intended to determine the different levels of suitability for land use in the subregion of Beira Baixa, located in the center of Portugal, near the border with Spain. To this effect, the authors present a land suitability model based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) that incorporates a set of climate, soil, and topographic variables. Implementing this spatial data analysis approach could be valuable for stakeholders in land use planning and management.

Authors: Addai Kwaku , Kirikkaleli Dervis , Genç Sema Yılmaz
Published: April 2023

Globally, one major concept that has attracted policy and academic interest is the green economy. Evidence has shown that a green economy can deliver the needed sustainable development, protect biophysical resources, create jobs, and create an inclusive society. However, current green economy approaches applied in the e-waste sector culminate at the landfill and seems to have forgotten the power of e-waste repurposing. This chapter highlights the critical role of e-waste repurposing towards the delivery of a green or circular economy for emerging economies and makes significant policy suggestions for consideration.

Published: April 2023

Curcumae Longae Rhizoma (CLR) is the rhizome of Curcuma longa L. Pharmacological studies show that CLR can be used to treat cervical cancer, lung cancer, lupus nephritis, and other conditions. In this paper, we review botany, traditional application, phytochemistry, pharmacological activity, and pharmacokinetics of CLR. The literature from 1981 to date was entirely collected from online databases, such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, China Academic Journals full-text database (CNKI), Wiley, Springer, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The data were also obtained from ancient books, theses and dissertations, and Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae. There are a total of 275 compounds that have been isolated from CLR, including phenolic compounds, volatile oils, and others. The therapeutic effect of turmeric has been expanded from breaking blood and activating qi in the traditional sense to antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidation, neuroprotection, antibacterial, hypolipidemic effects, and other benefits. However, the active ingredients and mechanisms of action related to relieving disease remain ill defined, which requires more in-depth research and verification at a clinical level.
Ginkgo Biloba Waste Resources and Waste Treatment Combined with Modern Progress and Development Model
Authors: Zhong Ying-Si
Published: April 2023

Background:

Ginkgo biloba L. is listed in the Red List of Endangered Species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. G. biloba is an important medicinal plant in China and can be widely used in materials, gardens, and as a source of nutrients. With the large-scale planting of ginkgo plants, China, accounts for more than 70% of the world's total gingko output. Currently, G. biloba P. E. is the main extract under product development and application. However, G. biloba has been discarded as waste for a long time and has not been well developed and utilized. According to incomplete statistics, nearly 40,000 tons are discarded in China every year, which not only wastes resources but also pollutes the environment.

Objective:

This is an issue of great significance and adds value to scientific research. We aim to develop a key technology for resource recycling by combining G. biloba waste resources and waste treatment.

Methods:

Data were obtained by searching databases such as CNKI, and analyzing the herb application, modern application, main chemical components, utilization of waste parts, ways and modes combined with waste treatment, and safety of G. biloba. This systematic analysis can serve as a reference for the recycling of waste resources in other fields.

Conclusion:

The chemical constituents of the outer seed coat of G. biloba mainly include hydrophenols, phenolic acids, and biflavones, among which the phenolic acid of G. biloba can be used to extract glycolic acid, which can inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The domestic waste produced by tuberculosis (TB) patients contains a large number of bacilli, and the incidence of transmission can be reduced by using glycolic acid to inhibit the growth of TB bacilli in the waste.
Effect of Botulinum Toxin Injection on Pain Severity and Quality of Life among Patients with Postherpetic Neuralgia
Authors: Prasuna R. , Aeerabolli Ajay Reddy
Published: April 2023

Background:

Herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) results from reactivation of varicella-zoster virus. Pain increases sharply with advancing age and the elderly are more inclined to suffer. If herpes zoster is not treated early, patients may develop PHN. For some, it can persist for 1–2 years. Botulinum toxin injection (BTX-A) has been useful for patients suffering from PHN pain.

Objective:

The objective of this study was to study the effect of botulinum toxin on pain severity and quality of life in patients with PHN.

Methods:

A hospital record-based follow-up study was carried out among 30 PHN patients treated with hypodermic injection of BTX-A. Before injection, we measured Visual Analog Score (VAS) for pain severity and the Quality of Life (QOL) Scale using short form survey-36 (SF-36) score. BTX-A injections were given, and patients were followed every month for 6 months. During follow-up, VAS, QOL, pain frequency, and analgesic use were measured.

Results:

Majority were 60–69 years (40%). The proportion of males and females was not much different. Mean pain severity reduced significantly from 8.9 to 5.8 at 6 months. QOL improved significantly in 6 months. Pain frequency decreased significantly from 22.33 to 18.56 at 6 months. Mean analgesics use was 87.43 which reduced significantly to 7 at 2 weeks after BTX-A and then slowly increased to 7.66 at 4 weeks, to 8.23 at 12 weeks, and 10.4 at 24 weeks.

Conclusion:

Using BTX-A for treating PNH is promising and gives long-lasting results. It can be considered a valid approach in the treatment of PNH, especially in nonresponsive patients.

Authors: Das Arnab , Tiwari Kunal , Sharma Sanjay Kumar , Singh Shalendra , Patnaik Subhasish , Gaur Nimish
Published: April 2023

Background:

Among the regional anesthesia techniques used for postoperative analgesia for lower abdominal surgeries, epidural analgesia (EA) has been the gold standard and time-tested technique, but complications and contraindications for the same warrant the need for other equally good analgesic techniques.

Aim:

The present study compared posterior transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block to EA for postoperative analgesic efficacy in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgeries.

Methods:

Prospective, observational study in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgeries under general anesthesia. Patients received ultrasound-guided (USG) 20 ml 0.2% ropivacaine each side in TAP block (Group A, n = 50) or 10 ml of 0.2% ropivacaine was administered in epidural (Group B; n = 50) before extubation. The Visual analog scale (VAS) score, hemodynamic parameters, and ill effects were recorded.

Results:

The blood pressure was significantly lower in first 6 h of block in Group B. VAS score was significantly lower in Group A in first 6 h of surgery. It was observed that a significantly higher number of patients in the Group B required rescue analgesic and at higher dosages. Postoperative nausea and vomiting were found in 32% of Group B and 22% of Group A patients.

Conclusion:

TAP block has almost no complications, keeps the patient more hemodynamically stable, and offers a better early postoperative analgesia when compared to EA in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgeries.
Leiomyomatosis Peritonealisis Disseminata Resembling Intra-Abdominal Malignancy
Authors: Chang Chia-Ching , Lin Yi-Hsin , Su Kuo-Min , Yu Mu-Hsien
Published: April 2023

Leiomyomatosis peritonealisis disseminata (LPD) is a rare benign tumor characterized by the dissemination of smooth muscle-like cell nodules within the peritoneal cavity. Diagnosing LPD is challenging for clinicians due to its nonspecific clinical presentation and its dissemination throughout the peritoneal cavity, which mimics intra-abdominal malignancy. In the present study, we present the case of a 47-year-old woman with severe abdominal pain and fever initially diagnosed with intra-abdominal abscess or peritoneal carcinomatosis. Exploratory laparotomy was performed to resect several leiomyoma-like tumors in the subperitoneal space. LPD was confirmed histopathologically.

Authors: Yang Luke , Tsai Yu-Lun , Yang Pei-Ling , Lu Chun-Chi , Liaw Jen-Jiuan , Lan Hsiang-Yun
Published: April 2023

Background:

Health of the adolescents is an important determinant of adult health. Multiple factors may affect the adolescents' health.

Aim:

This exploratory cross-sectional study was to explore the effects of life stress, social support, and family hardiness on quality of life (QoL) in rural adolescents (15 to 19 years old) whose family had encountered adverse disaster events.

Methods:

Purposive sampling was used to recruit 350 adolescents met study criteria with 265 completing all questionnaires (response rate = 75.71%). Based on stress process model, we hypothesized that life stress and social support would directly and indirectly influence QoL, and family hardiness mediates the effects of life stress on QoL. Path analysis was employed to analyze the association among life stress, social support, family hardiness, and QoL.

Results:

The study showed that life stress, social support and family hardiness are significantly associated with adolescents' QoL: life stress (β = [FIGURE DASH] 0.30, P < 0.001), social support (β = 0.18, P = 0.010), and family hardiness (β = 0.21, P = 0.002). Life stress and social support had significant association with family hardiness: life stress (β = [FIGURE DASH]0.23, P = 0.001) and social support (β = 0.29, P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

Life stress directly and indirectly influences QoL through family hardiness. Family hardiness can buffer the effects of life stress. Social support could improve the adolescents' QoL. To promote QoL, it is important for healthcare providers to attend rural adolescents' life stress, and provide psychosocial interventions to enhance family hardiness and social support.

Cloud Computing (CC) and Internet of Things (IoT) are upgrowing human intervention to enhance the daily lifestyle. Currently, the heavy loaded traffic congestion is a very big challenge over IoT-based applications. For that purpose, the researchers approached various ways to overcome the congestion mechanism in recent years. Even though, they have futile to acheive the best resource storage accessing capacity expectation other than, Cloud Computing. Data sharing is a key impediment of Cloud Computing as well as Internet of Things. These are the constituent that give rise to the combination of the IoT and cloud computing paradigm as IoT Cloud. Though, preserving the missed data during the execution time is a key factor to indulge the Retrial Queueing Theory (RQT), who is facing issue upon accessing Cloud Service Provider (CSP) enter into virtual pool to preserve the data for reuse. The paper imposes Markov Fluid analysis with Matrix Analytic Method (MAM) allows the data as continuous length of data rather than individual data to avoid the congestion. The virtual orbit queue follow constant retrial rate discipline, that is, head of the orbital users makes attempt to occupy the server are assumed to be independent and identically distributed (i.i.d). Steady-state expression presented to study the behaviour of congestion. An illustrative analysis is produced to gain deep perception into the system model.

Results – the problematic aspects of sugar production based on the Descartes square are shown, the need for a qualitative revision of the preferential tax line to stimulate economic entities in sugar industry is proved. A system of tax breaks is proposed, taxes are presented, causal relationships are worked out, and the degree of their influence is substantiated. Conclusions incentives for enterprises based on the proposed mechanism for providing benefits in the taxation system will significantly affect the increase in their activity. A comprehensive plan for the development of sugar industry in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2022-2026 and special tax regime together will achieve an increase in macroeconomic indicators of beet sugar production, increase the competitiveness of products, stabilize food security, activate the risk management system in the activities of business structures, increase budget revenues, will ultimately increase the intensification of agriculture in the republic as a whole. The authors note that the issue of expanding the scale of sugar industry due to high import dependence is relevant. Supplying the population of the country with sugar, mainly from domestic raw materials, is a state task that allows solving the problem of rational use of natural resources and supply of necessary components for food industry. The level of filling of local budgets depends on the stable operation of sugar factories, which makes it possible to maintain the infrastructure of settlements and maintain socia l stability in beet-growing regions. The qualitative side of beet cultivation in recent years has somewhat improved in terms of yield and planting density as a result of the use of modern equipment and technologies.

Aim – recommendations on the current methodology for applying statistical and econometric approaches in the study of variables characterizing the efficiency of production of various crops, in particular potatoes. Methods – economic and statistical for the study of economic phenomena and processes, comparison and generalization, logical. Results – it is noted that the potato, as one of the most common and necessary food for humans, occupies an important place in production activities of agricultural enterprises. Based on official statistics, its production in the Akmola region from 2001 to 2021 was analyzed. A number of stability coefficients have been calculated. The directions of changes in the areas of crops are considered with the help of regression analysis. Using the linear equation method, analytical alignment of a number of production indicators was made, since it is a more rational method for studying the dynamics of such indicators as sown areas, productivity and gross harvest. Conclusions – it was revealed that in many regions of Kazakhstan there is an unstable cultivation of potatoes, which is influenced by various factors: low level of agricultural technology, losses during storage and logistics, insufficient volumes of fertilizer application. In the potato industry of the republic, it is necessary to develop and implement programs to support potato producers, look for foreign sales channels and stimulate an increase in potato exports, revive seed production focused on growing high-yielding, droughtadapted, resistant to diseases and pests of domestic varieties. For these purposes, potato farms require additional investments, the attraction of which will provide an opportunity to carry out a number of organizational changes, increase the level of their intensification, improve product quality and, ultimately, increase its competitiveness.

The goal is to explore theoretical and practical aspects of the development of the agricultural land market. Methods – general scientific, synthesis and theoretical generalization, system analysis, economic and statistical. Results – the concept of "land relations" is defined, the need for state participation in management of land resources in market conditions is proved, the scientific works of economists in this area are studied. In order to assess the effectiveness of the activities of state institutions in the Pavlodar region, information is provided on the existing problems of land exploitation and protection, as well as in the activities of government bodies implementing the policy of regulation in the field of land use, which impede its effective implementation. The analysis of revenues to local budget from the use of the land fund was carried out. The ways of increasing the efficiency of state regulation of the rational use of land plots are proposed. Conclusions – measures to improve the mechanism of state control assume the introduction of republican automated information technologies "Unified State Land Cadastre" (USLC) and "Regional Geographic Information Systems" (RGIS). In addition, land administration departments are being established to increase the control. The main goal of land policy is to improve the quality of life of the population; creation of conditions for the balanced development of the country and its regions; ensuring the implementation of social standards guaranteed by the state. Despite the broad theoretical development of this problem, the study of methodological basis for the formation of land relations remains uncertified and needs to be continued. For the development of land reforms, it is necessary to deepen the study of legal, economic, organizational and technical issues in the system of social relations. Aspects of land management, monitoring, formation of an effective land use system for the specific conditions of the Republic of Kazakhstan require careful justification.
Adolescents reading texts in LexiaD, a dyslexia-specific Cyrillic font: A mobile eye-tracking study

Recently, LexiaD, a dyslexia-specific Cyrillic font, was tested alongside the widely used Arial font in an experiment during which adolescents with and without dyslexia silently read sentences on a computer screen (Alexeeva et al., 2022). LexiaD showed a worse performance than Arial at the beginning of the experiment, but by the end of it, LexiaD demonstrated a positive effect in feature extraction and similar performance in lexical access, text integration, and global reading processing. We suggest that Arial’s initial advantage can be explained either by its familiarity or by its design features. The current study aims to test these assumptions in adolescents without dyslexia by comparing LexiaD with two popular fonts familiar to adolescents: Times New Roman and Roboto (a default font for the Google applications that is similar to Arial). Participants silently read printed versions of three texts (one in each of the three fonts) while their eye movements were recorded using a mobile eye tracker (Pupil Core glasses). In reading speed measures, Roboto outperformed LexiaD, whereas we found no evidence that Times New Roman’s performance was better than that of LexiaD. Moreover, there was no evidence that the control fonts differed in terms of subjective font familiarity. Therefore, we speculate that it was the design features that contributed the most to Arial becoming a facilitating font in the previous experiment. A study that investigates the efficiency of LexiaD, Arial/Roboto, and Times New Roman in a less experienced group (with participants less accustomed to particular fonts) is required to replicate our results. Involving people with dyslexia in future studies is extremely important.

Cooking oil is one of the staple ingredients that is widely used in household and industrial needs. The high price of cooking oil has an impact on the food security of a family. Repeated use of cooking oil will also have an impact on family health. So it is necessary to socialize the healthy and quality cooking oil using virgin coconut oil. The purpose of this socialization was directed to the group of housewives in Pumo Village, Wuluhan District, Jember Regency. The economic condition of this housewife is classified as lower middle class. The Pumo Village Housewives Group (partner) is located in a coastal area with extraordinary coconut potential. Utilization of coconut is only limited to being sold in the form of coconuts, either young (degan) or old (copra). Though the potential will be greater if the processing is carried out, especially in the form of pure coconut oil. The solution offered to this problem is the application of science and technology with simple technology, namely centrifugal force as an effort to become independent partners in producing virgin coconut oil. The virgin coconut oil produced is not only to support family food security, but also to be a business opportunity for partners. The results of this service, the community can know the techniques of making, packaging products and entrepreneurship in the field of making virgin coconut oil.

The traditional method of taking attendance using paper sheets is prone to errors like impersonation, loss, or theft. To solve this issue, automatic attendance systems utilizing identification technology such as barcode badges, electronic tags, touch screens, magnetic stripe cards, and biometrics have been implemented. Biometric technology uses physiological or behavioral characteristics for identification purposes, but traditional biometric systems have limitations such as vulnerability to damage or alteration over time, and variations in occlusions, poses, facial expressions, and illumination can affect face recognition accuracy. Fingerprint identification relies on the distinctiveness of fingerprints and involves comparing two impressions of the friction ridges on human fingers or toes to determine if they belong to the same individual. There are five primary categories of fingerprints: arch, tented arch, left loop, right loop, and whorl. Various algorithms have been developed to recognize fingerprints using minutiaebased matching, which involves identifying key features like ridge ending and bifurcation. Deep learning algorithms, particularly convolutional neural networks, have been successful in improving identification accuracy by extracting features automatically from fingerprint images. In recent times, securing personal data has become increasingly important, and the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) identification system is recommended for improving accuracy and performance. This paper proposes a fingerprint identification system that combines three models: CNN, Softmax, and Random Forest (RF) classifiers. The conventional system uses K-means and DBSCAN algorithms to separate the foreground and background regions and extracts features using CNNs and dropout approach. The Softmax acts as a recognizer. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on a public database and shows promising results, providing an accurate and efficient biometric identification system.
