Total Factor Productivity and Financial Development
Authors: Meral Cakici S.
Published: March 2024

The main objective of this study is to explore the relationship between total factor productivity and financial development for a group of Latin American countries consisting of Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica and Mexico covering the period from 1996 to 2019. Total factor productivity, which is considered as one of the main drivers of sustainable economic growth, especially for emerging economies, is the measure of productive efficiency given by the ratio of aggregate output to aggregate inputs. Financial development refers to the development of financial institutions and financial markets. Latin American countries exhibit different levels of both total factor productivity and financial development mainly due to the emerging nature of their economies, which explains the motivation of choosing four of these countries as the sample to analyze the association between total factor productivity and financial development. Data for total factor productivity is taken from the Penn World Table while the Financial Development Index Database provided by the IMF is used in order to examine financial development. The results of this study indicate that countries with higher levels of total factor productivity also have higher levels of financial development. This finding can be interpreted as the outcome of the fact that there are macroeconomic and financial factors determining or similarly influencing both total factor productivity and financial development. Significant policy implications for emerging countries can be inferred from this close connection between total factor productivity and financial development, which constitutes the major contribution of this study to the literature.

Islamization of Science Ismail Raji Al Faruqi in Forming Curriculum Integration at PTKI
Authors: Sutrisno Sutrisno
Published: March 2024

Islamic scholarship was born out of concern for modern Western science that deviated from the
spirit of the Renaissance which initially aimed to humanize humans, instead, there was dehumanization and secularization. Islamic scholarship also intends to respond to the idea of the Islamization of science, which is seen as a textualization, that is, to make Western sciences in harmony with Islam. The objectives of this study is to: Know the biography of Ismail Raji Al Faruqi as a Muslim scholar; 2). Knowing the Islamization of Science Ismail Raji al-Faruqi; 3). Knowing the thoughts of Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi's Islamic education curriculum. Islam Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi (1921 – 1986 A.D.), was born in Jaffa, a city on the   Palestinian coast (now Israel). Al-Faruqi was born on January 1, 1921, to a distinguished family and upheld the teachings of Islam, Al-Faruqi grew up in Palestine and inherited the strong character of the Palestinian Arab tradition that persistently fought for his nation to liberate it from Israeli occupation. So that his mind is firmly bound to Palestine and experiences firsthand the tragedy felt by the Palestinian
people. Al-Farruqi, once a governor in Palestine, was also a visiting Professor in various countries, al-Faruqi had been educated in various countries, including Palestine itself, America, Canada Egypt al-Faraqi was killed in his home with his wife Louis Lamya and two children in 1986. Islamization is al-Faruqi's solution to change the education system in accordance with Islamic ideals that Muslims have long abandoned and the system and education system adopted by Muslims from the West is one that endangers the Islamic spirit by separating revelation from reason. The concept of the Islamic curriculum that Al-Faruqi wanted was a
curriculum that developed the traditional system (Islam) and the modern system (West) by adjusting the vision of Islam. Al-Faruqi aims to blend both the Islamic system and the Western system and eliminate the shortcomings of both systems.

Authors: Nihayati Laila
Published: March 2024

Social conflict is a problem that often occurs in society. To prevent social conflicts, it is necessary to adopt the values of peace in everyday life. Peace Generation has identified 12 basic peace values that can be adopted by the younger generation in preventing social conflicts. This study aims to identify the values of peace adopted by the younger generation and how these values can be applied in everyday life to prevent social conflicts. The research method used is a survey through questionnaires distributed to the younger generation. The results showed that the younger generation realized the importance of peace values in preventing social conflicts. All the basic values of peace identified by the Peace Generation are adopted by the younger generation. However, there were differences in the level of adherence to these values between respondents. The results of this study show that the younger generation understands the values of peace that are important in preventing social conflicts. Therefore, policymakers and educators need to strengthen peace values education in education curricula and activities outside schools to strengthen young people's adherence to these values. Thus, it is hoped that social conflicts can be avoided and peace can be achieved in society.

Authors: Afdhal Usman Muhammad , Haliah Haliah , Kusumawati Andi
Published: March 2024

Account Representatives are the foundation for each Tax Office, Regional Office, and even the Directorate General of Taxes in achieving tax revenue because it functions as a supervisor for taxpayers in performing their tax compliance. Against the background of the importance of achieving tax revenue and the important role of Account Representatives in achieving the tax revenue target, it is deemed necessary to know what factors determine the success of the Account Representative in achieving the tax revenue target in Indonesia. To find out these factors, qualitative research was carried out using a case study approach through in-depth interviews with 24 informants from internal and 5 informants from external of the Directorate General of Taxes, by previously conducting a preliminary questionnaire. Based on this, it was found that several factors influence or become determining factors for the Account Representative's success in achieving the tax revenue target for which they are responsible, including motivation at work, understanding of regulations, ability to communicate, availability, and accuracy of data, superior and organizational support, IT facilities and applications, profiling capabilities, mapping and business processes of taxpayers, completeness and clarity of tax regulations, placement and mutation, and awareness of taxpayers.

Authors: Utami Febriyanti , Wili Tama Yudi , Mayuni Ilza
Published: March 2024

Virtual Reality (VR) has seen increasing popularity in the twenty-first century, including in the field of language learning. Considerable studies on VR have explored mainly its advantages and disadvantages for language learning. However, a gap existed about the influential factors considered in incorporating VR technology, particularly for English language learning in higher education settings. Therefore, this study aimed to 1) identify important factors that influence the application of VR technology; 2) provide a systematic review of literature on the implementation categories of VR; and 3) discuss the challenges and opportunities of VR use for English language learning in higher education. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted by reviewing articles retrieved from 2018 to 2023 using a digital database library and filtered systematically using exclusion and inclusion criteria. The result showed that advanced technology, teaching and learning facilitation, and effectiveness in language learning were three major factors influencing VR implementation, which were categorized under three key elements: models, frameworks, or approaches. The study also found out that the cost of procurement and maintenance as well as lack of technical skills were the main challenges of VR use; however, the technology offered opportunities such as reducing learners’ anxiety, increasing their motivation, facilitating immersive and interactive learning experiences, developing English skills, and improving the quality of language education. It is suggested that further research and development efforts should focus on overcoming the challenges to unlock the full potential of VR technology in education
pré-operatório e a ansiedade do paciente
Authors: Costa Veridiana Alves de Sousa Ferreira , Silva Sandra Cibelly Ferreira da , Lima Vívian Caroline Pimentel de
Published: March 2024

A doença leva o sujeito a uma situação de crise, já que rompe com o equilíbrio físico e psicológico do paciente. A necessidade de hospitalização e de intervenção cirúrgica potencializa as ameaças pelas quais ele passa, fazendo-o atravessar um momento de ansiedade que interfere no curso do seu tratamento e na sua recuperação. Atrelado a esse quadro, soma-se a falta de informação que, frequentemente, intensifica essa angústia. Este estudo busca, através de uma revisão literária, analisar e discutir o estado emocional do paciente pré-operatório perceptível ao olhar do enfermeiro, salientando a importância de tal reflexão, a fim de promover práticas mais humanizadoras, tão amplamente discutidas no âmbito da saúde pública. Tal análise visa às ações do enfermeiro que podem contribuir para minimizar o medo e a insegurança do paciente, contribuindo beneficamente com todo o processo de tratamento. A Visita Pré-operatória de Enfermagem (VPOE) e o acompanhamento pré-operatório realizado pelo psicólogo se apresentam como grandes aliados no enfrentamento da situação, facilitando a recuperação do paciente. Reflexões dessa natureza são relevantes não apenas ao enfermeiro e ao psicólogo, mas também a todos os profissionais da área, possibilitando, assim, a prestação de um serviço de melhor qualidade, sobretudo, do ponto de vista humano.

Published: March 2024

Este trabalho faz uma análise do processo de triagem interventiva por meio do levantamento da demanda que chega ao Centro de Pesquisa e Psicologia Aplicada (CPPA) “Dra. Betti Katzenstein” da UNESP de Assis. O objetivo foi compreender melhor a realidade dos conflitos que essa população enfrenta e, com isso, caracterizar a clientela que busca auxílio no CPPA. Com uma maior compreensão da demanda, é possível traçar encaminhamentos mais condizentes e adequar o serviço da clínica-escola ao perfil da clientela que a procura. Lembrando que o próprio atendimento de triagem já é uma forma interventiva de atendimento, pois ele proporciona o cuidado do paciente desde o primeiro contato. Essa foi uma pesquisa documental, que teve seus dados coletados das fichas de triagens do CPPA realizadas em 2011. Foram feitas 394 triagens. É apresentada a distribuição da demanda por sexo, faixa etária e queixa que motivou a busca pelo atendimento. Pode-se concluir que a caracterização da clientela possibilita um direcionamento mais eficaz dos serviços oferecidos na instituição, visto que contribui para uma compreensão melhor delineada de cada caso e um número reduzido de desistências no processo de triagem.

Published: March 2024

Introdução: Ocorrência de choques, ansiedade e personalidade tipo D são conhecidos fatores de risco para possível desajuste psicossocial. Entretanto, não se conhece o papel dessas e outras variáveis na percepção que o paciente tem sobre sua doença cardíaca como ameaça na presença de cardioversor-desfibrilador implantável (CDI). Este foi o objetivo do estudo, assim como avaliar a relação temporal de choques do CDI na percepção da doença. Método: Foram avaliados 250 portadores de CDI quanto à percepção de doença, relacionando-a com ansiedade, depressão, distress e personalidade Tipo D, ocorrência de choques nos últimos seis meses e desde o implante. Resultados: Não ocorreram diferenças estatísticas em relação à percepção de ameaça da doença e ocorrência de choques desde o implante, mas sim com choques nos últimos seis meses. Pacientes que apresentam ansiedade, distress, depressão e Tipo D se associaram à maior percepção de ameaça da doença. Conclusões: As percepções dos portadores de CDI, em relação à doença cardíaca, são influenciadas pela presença de ansiedade, distress, depressão e personalidade Tipo D. A ocorrência de choques do CDI é o fator que menos influencia a percepção de ameaça da doença. Isso indica a necessidade de mais atenção aos fatores psicossociais do portador de CDI.

Authors: Morais Kevila Cezario de , Komati Karin Satie , Gazolli Kelly Assis de Souza
Published: March 2024

The image analysis of vehicle damage is a procedure performed by insurance companies to determine whether the policy covers the service or not. In the case of damages in the headlights, the company receives a picture of the vehicle and a specialist analyzes the damage. This article proposes a system for the detection and classification of vehicle headlight images to automate the inspection. The method is based first on the U-Net structure for detecting the headlight in the image and then on the Resnet50 structure for classifying the damage. The U-Net database is made up of 2,000 vehicle images and 2,000 masks with headlight detection. Resnet50’s database is made up of 2,000 images divided into 4 classes: broken, blurred, infiltrated, or undamaged. The results obtained in the test had an IOU of 70 percent in the detection and an accuracy of 76 percent in the classification.

Published: March 2024

The increasing impact of technology on daily and industrial activities, with a special focus on mobile robotics, has become increasingly evident in scenarios where collaboration between humans and machines is essential for the well-being of society. This work proposes the development of a detection and position reconstruction method for mobile robots in intelligent spaces with multiple cameras, using convolutional neural networks instead of physical markers. This aims to provide an alternative means of robot localization and monitoring, with the goal of generating precise position and orientation data, eliminating the need to rely on markers for this purpose. The article describes the localization method using convolutional neural networks and includes location error experiments to validate the proposed approach.

Authors: Vitória André Barbosa da , Boldt Francisco de Asis , Seibel Junior Hilario
Published: March 2024

With the latest evolutions of smartphone hardware regarding neural network processing and advances in Image Super Resolution, one question remains: What is the applicability of SR techniques already consolidated in smartphones? Several works focused on different characteristics of images have been developed and seek to understand how such networks can meet different segments. This work focuses on applying two already consolidated networks in the processing of photo-realistic images, SRResNet and SRGAN, in mobile devices to identify how such networks behave in smartphones of different generations, either in the image quality or in the response time of these networks. After evaluation, the SRResNet network had a better performance both in inferred image quality and lower latency, with a PSNR of 27.7075 versus 21.3843 and 0.19 milliseconds latency, compared to 0.20 milliseconds for SRGAN, thus showing that it is feasible to apply SR techniques already consolidated in smartphones.

Classifying weight ranges is essential in fish farms since they are sold according to the fingerlings’ minimum size, uniformity, and maximum size. Therefore, evaluating the batches’ quality is fundamental, which analyzes the growth rate, feed conversion, and survival rate, among others. This paper aims to classify weight ranges for fingerlings of Pintado Real using supervised learning techniques. For this purpose, 60 images were captured, containing a 10-cent Real coin and a ruler next to each fingerling. The software was designed to extract attributes from the images and then serve as inputs for Weka’s training algorithms. The J48 algorithm obtained a performance 76.66% in the accuracy metric, and the ANOVA shows no statistical difference. This result is promising since the dataset of images taken from varying distances is a situation that is often common in this type of collection, and the proposed software takes care of standardizing the scale.
Digitale Teilhabe - Rahmenbedingungen und Möglichkeiten der Regelfinanzierung digitaler Teilhabe von Menschen mit Behinderung

Published: March 2024

Die Bundesregierung hat es sich zum Ziel gemacht, die digitale Teilhabe aller Menschen in Deutschland zu ermöglichen, denn „digitale Teilhabe ist gesellschaftliche Teilhabe!“ (Bundesministerium des Innern und für Hei- mat, 2023). Bisher gelingt das aber noch nicht flächendeckend und für alle Bürger:innen. Insbesondere Menschen mit Behinderung können noch nicht überall digital teilhaben. Ein Grund ist der Mangel an stabilen Finanzierungsstrukturen, um digitale Teilhabe zu ermöglichen. Der Bei- trag will Anregungen bieten, wie dies zukünftig gelingen kann und welche grundlegenden Rahmenbedingungen dafür erforderlich sind.
Dietary Practices of patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis Attending Clinic at Kericho County Referral Hospital- Kenya
Authors: Yegon Nourine , Bor Wesley , Chege Peter
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Dietary practice is one of the major factors that influence the nutritional status of a pulmonary (PTB) patient. Feeding complications like lack of appetite, vomiting, and nausea, increase the chances of an individual not meeting their recommended dietary allowance (RDA) and being undernourished. Poor dietary intake leads to poor prognosis of TB which will in turn affect the nutrition status of the patient. The main aim of this study was to investigate dietary practices among PTB patients attending the TB clinic at Kericho County Referral Hospital (KCRH).
Methods: The study adopted a cross-sectional descriptive design. Systematic random sampling was used to select study participants. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from PTB patients aged 18 years and above (N=175).  Data were entered into Microsoft excel 2010 for cleaning and analyzed using SPSS version 24.0 software. Nutri-survey was used to analyze data on 24-hour recall. Ethical approval was sought from Kabarak University Research Ethics Committee (KUREC), research permits were sought from National Commission on Science, Technology & Innovation (NACOSTI) and research authorization was obtained from KCRH. Informed consent was obtained from all study participants before the commencement of data collection. Data were handled safely from the collection and analysis to storage.
Results: The majority of PTB patients were male, aged between 21-30 years with secondary school education, and had had TB for 1-2 months. Consumption of macronutrients was average despite the relative availability of food sources for most households. Mean carbohydrate, protein, and fat intake was 300.2g/day & 279g/day, 75.1g/day & 63.8g/day, and 55.6g/day & 51.7g/day for male and female subjects respectively in each category. The mean energy intake was 2001.2 kcal/day and 1860 kcal/day for male and female subjects respectively which is below the RDA for TB patients based on ministry of health (MoH) recommendations. Results showed inadequate intake of micronutrients by study respondents. Most of the participants consumed an average of >4 meals per day. Study participants who had a high DDS (>6) mostly consumed cereals, oils & fats, vegetables as well as milk & milk products.
Conclusion: Most of the participants had a diverse diet but did not meet their energy, macronutrient, and micronutrient requirements.
Recommendation: Counselling on good dietary practices should be incorporated as one of the key interventions in the management of PTB. Nutrition support should be provided for PTB patients to meet their energy requirements.

Keywords: dietary practices, dietary diversity, meal frequency, macronutrient, micronutrient
Dietary Practices of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Attending Clinic at Nakuru Level 6 Hospital, Kenya
Authors: Kiprotich Dominic , Chege Peter , Mituki Dorothy
Published: March 2024

Global diabetes mellitus (DM) prevalence is 425 million cases, 16 million of which emanate from Africa, and 458,900 from Kenya. The prevalence is expected to rise by 48% and 156% globally and in Africa by 2045 respectively. The disease complications are severe and increase the risk of death, with one death reported every eight seconds across the world. The financial implications are adverse, with $825 billion spent globally and $3.3 billion in Africa. In Kenya, $234 is currently spent on each diagnosed case of DM. Of the cost-effective interventions, the dietary intervention has been shown to be the most effective. Despite dietary practices being effective in the management of the disease, DM still represents a fundamental public health challenge in Kenya. Against this backdrop, it was reasonable to determine the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients’ dietary practices in order to develop an effective intervention strategy. This study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional study design. Fishers’ formula, was used to determine the sample size. Pretest was carried out at Naivasha Hospital where 10% of the respondents participated. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25 and Nutri-survey. Statistical parameters used were Mean, standard deviation (SD), Percentages, and Chi-square. All research and ethical approvals and permits were obtained before the commencement of the study. About 262(96%) T2DM patients participated in the study. The majority were male (58.8%), aged 41-50 years (35.9%), married (79.8%), and had secondary education (42.7%). The main source of income was business (31.7%), they earned a household income of between KES 10001-20000; (31.3%), and had a family history of DM 59.9%. Starches (40.3%) and cooking oil (96.9%) were consumed daily. Most participants (71.8%) had a high dietary diversity score (DDS). Most participants exceeded their adequacy levels for energy, carbohydrates, and proteins. Furthermore, adequacy levels for fats and fiber were low.  Most respondents had three meals (55.3%) per day. About (48.1%) of the respondents’ RBS was >11.0 mmol/l. Household income and DDS (P≤0.018) had a significant correlation. On the other hand, respondents' RBS had a significant association with carbohydrate (P≤0.034) and Fiber consumption (P≤0.016).  Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients consume a highly diverse diet with carbohydrates and fats being the most consumed nutrients. Adequacy levels for fiber were poor.  The patients had poor glycemic control. Household income for most of the patients with T2DM was a predictor of dietary diversity while; carbohydrate and fiber intake correlated with the patients’ random blood sugar (RBS) levels. More emphasis should be placed on the quantity of the macronutrients consumed by encouraging the patients to consume a moderate amount of carbohydrates and proteins, but increase their consumption of a fiber-rich diet; this is beneficial in glycemic control.

Published: March 2024

Hyperspectral imaging in near-infrared region (NIR) is a powerful tool for characterization and detection in food industry. In particular, the scan of powders is a subject of interest for adulteration evaluation. However, such samples involve intimate mixture hence complex non linear effect in the reflectance signal. In this study, Adaptive Matched Subspace Detector (AMSD) is implemented for detecting peanut flour adulteration in wheat flour. The method consists of a hypothesis test based on the linear mixing model. This is compared with a non supervised technique based on Principal Component Analysis rejection method. Results show that AMSD performs the best by detecting adulterated pixels in samples with global concentration from 20% down to 0.02%. A coefficient of determination of 0.90 is obtained between the number of detected pixels and the global concentration of samples. PCA rejection method shows relevant but insufficient results by detecting much fewer adulterated pixels than AMSD. This study shows that the implementation of AMSD is successful and more efficient than rejection method based on the inner product variability

Among the recent criticisms of QCA, Lucas and Szatrowski’s (LS) critique stands out in multiple respects, including its scope, its tone (QCA is “a nonanalytic means to identify asymmetric causal illusions”, p. 66), and the responses it provoked (and the notorious mistake in their first simulation). Naturally, the critical replies focused on LS’s assessment of QCA, but I find that they make an almost equally interesting and ironic claim at the
What do we learn about case studies from follow-up regression analysis?
Authors: Rohlfing Ingo
Published: March 2024

Most multi-method research (MMR) studies with which I am familiar start with regression analysis (or, in recent years, QCA) and perform the case studies afterward. This is the order recommended by Lieberman in his nested analysis article which, in turn, most probably reflects the widely held view that case studies are only worth doing in MMR when something is going on at the cross-case level.
