Published: August 2023

This paper aims to review the literature to propose a meaningful PAI learning paradigm in the context of cybergogy learning interaction. The demands of ICT needs and the meaningfulness of learning increasingly urge innovation and futuristic learning reconstruction. Empirically, since the Covid-19 pandemic passed, the challenges of PAI learning do not only include the planning, implementation and evaluation of blended learning but also the meaningfulness of learning interactions to achieve the expected goals. The cybergogy model carries aspects of knowledge (cognitive), social and emotional interestingly tracing its conceptual relevance, adaptation and implementation in learning PAI meaningfully. In addition to achieve the goal of meaningfulness of PAI learning, it is also expected to create a comfortable online learning (good online learner) in the integration of digital technology. This paper is developed through the method of reviewing relevant literature from various scientific sources with a literature approach, the data is collected and analyzed descriptively and then a paradigm is proposed that is worthy of being informed and proposed as a finding. Concept of cybergogy is actually relevant to be implemented in PAI learning, having a connection of concepts and principles to create meaningful learning, emphasizing cognitive engagement, strengthening social and emotional values of students. The meaningful PAI learning and the context of cybergogy emphasize careful interaction, namely the identification of various relevant contexts, the learning objectives are achieved comprehensively, namely the development of knowledge and continuous emotional and social growth in line with Islamic teachings. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to pedagogical and technical principles, holistic and integrative approaches, so that they can be widely considered for learning.
Using iNaturalist to monitor the roosting behavior of bats in Panama
Authors: Unger Shem
Published: August 2023

Chiropterans are important mammals of conservation concern across Neotropical regions, facing a number of threats, including increasing levels of urbanization, leading to habitat loss. Despite this, many species of bats regularly utilize a variety of roosting sites, including both natural and man-made structures. Methods for monitoring bat populations include citizen science applications. The roosting habits of tropical bats has seldom been assessed on the most widespread citizen science app, iNaturalist. To this end, I characterized images of observations of bats in Panama. I report on 344 observations, with 59.9% roosting in natural habitats versus 29.6 % roosting in man-made environments, respectively. The most commonly observed species include Rhynchonycteris naso, Uroderma bilobatum, and Artibeus jamaicensis. Total observations increased annually, indicating the potential for future conservation monitoring. I recommend bat researchers utilize iNaturalist as a tool to study roosting selection and habitat use by bats, as this application is likely to increase in use.

ANOTAÇÕES SOBRE O EGOÍSMO EM NIETZSCHE E A SUA APROXIMAÇÃO COM A ÉTICA DE PRIMEIRA PESSOA PROPOSTA POR GIUSEPPE ABBÀ
Authors: Rodrigues Paes Edson Muryllo
Published: August 2023

O presente trabalho busca explicitar o que é a moral da compaixão, entendendo o seu significado e suas limitações. Colocar-se à disposição do outro como renúncia de si mesmo, ou seja, o altruísmo, se tornou a grande chave para a convivência da sociedade aos moldes cristãos. Decorrente disso, o egoísmo foi visto como uma mácula no indivíduo, sendo associado à uma ideia de fechamento de si aos demais sujeitos. O fato é que Nietzsche empreende a tarefa de resgatar o conceito puro do que seria o egoísmo, associando este primeiramente como amor a si mesmo. O indivíduo precisa passar, por exemplo, pela experiência do amar-se a si próprio para então conseguir amar o outro. E como forma de combater a compaixão, Nietzsche fala da amizade. As relações humanas se dão a partir da afirmação de si e um estabelecimento de afeto com outra pessoa, o que por sua vez, não anula o outro, mas reconhece o que e quem o outro é. Falar em egoísmo é associá-lo à ideia do transbordamento, isto é, a partir do momento em que o eu se transborda de alegria, é que poder-se-á compartilhá-la com os outros. E por fim, apresentar-se-á o que seria Ética de Primeira Pessoa e Ética de Terceira Pessoa na perspectiva de Giuseppe Abbà, relacionando-as com o egoísmo e a moral da compaixão, conforme Nietzsche.

Aotearoa New Zealand, the Forcible Transfer of Tamariki and Rangatahi Māori, and the Royal Commission on Abuse in Care
Authors: MacDonald David B
Published: August 2023

This article investigates to what extent the forcible transfer of tamariki and rangatahi Māori (Indigenous children and youth) in Aotearoa New Zealand can be considered genocide. First, I begin by exploring contemporary genocide theory as it relates to
dolus eventualisin settler colonial contexts, before engaging with precedents for recognizing Indigenous genocides established by truth commissions in Canada (2015; 2019) and Australia (1997). I then explore the history around Indigenous child removal in Aotearoa from the onset of colonization to the present day, attentive to ways in which the UN Convention can apply to the forced removal of Māori children. Third, I explore the potential of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care (2018-2023) to engage with the concept of genocide in its deliberations. Between 60 and 80 percent of those taken were Māori, removed from their families, communities, and nations (respectively whānau, hapū, and iwi). I conclude with some reflections as to why the issue of genocide is not widely discussed in Aotearoa, and has not played an important role in the NZ Commission’s work, in contradistinction to commissions in other settler states.
Strategy in an Uncertain Domain: Threat and Response in Cyberspace
Authors: Devanny Joe , Goldoni Luiz , Medeiros Breno
Published: August 2023

Over the last decade, "cyber power" has become an increasingly prominent concept and instrument of national strategy. This article explores the nature of contemporary cyber power, focusing on how states should respond to "cyber uncertainty." Cases of cyber operations against Estonia, Georgia, and Ukraine, as well as cyber operations conducted (and suffered) by the United States, highlight the evolving role of cyber operations as an instrument of statecraft. Given the complexity of cyber forensics and the polluted information environment of the global public sphere, the public diplomacy of coordinated attribution statements cannot be expected to cut through conclusively or uniformly. States must therefore organise themselves effectively to produce and implement coherent cyber strategy, improving their relational cyber power. This should focus on cyber security and resilience, but also including effective cyber diplomacy, and assessment of what sovereign offensive capabilities are desirable and feasible.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a prevalent inflammatory disease that can lead to severe abdominal pain and multiple organ failure, potentially resulting in pancreatic necrosis and persistent dysfunction. A nomogram prediction model was developed to accurately evaluate the prognosis and provide therapy guidance to AP patients.

Material and methods

Retrospective data extraction was performed using MIMIC-IV, an open-source clinical database, to obtain 1344 AP patient records, of which the primary dataset included 1030 patients after the removal of repeated hospitalizations. The prediction of in-hospital mortality (IHM) used the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model to optimize feature selection. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to build a prediction model incorporating the selected features, and the C-index, calibration plot, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were utilized to evaluate the discrimination, calibration, and clinical applicability of the prediction model.

Results

The nomogram utilized a combination of indicators, including the SAPS II score, RDW, MBP, RR, PTT, and fluid-electrolyte disorders. Impressively, the model exhibited a satisfactory diagnostic performance, with area under the curve values of 0.892 and 0.856 for the training cohort and internal validation, respectively. Moreover, the calibration plots and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit (HL) test revealed a strong correlation between the predicted and actual outcomes (p = 0.73), further confirming the reliability of our model. Notably, the results of the decision curve analysis (DCA) highlighted the superiority of our model over previously described scoring methods in terms of net clinical benefit, solidifying its value in clinical applications.

Conclusions

Our novel nomogram is a simple tool for accurately predicting IHM in ICU patients with AP. Treatment methods that enhance the factors involved in the model may contribute to increased in-hospital survival for these ICU patients.
China, India and Myanmar Triangular Relationship: In the Context of Rohingya Issues

Myanmar’s geo-political and geo-economic position is very important to China and India. India and China are the two regional powers of Southeast Asia, although it shares border with the two coutries. Basically, Myanmar is the center of connectivity to South Asia and Southeast Asia with the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal. The new economic super power of the world. China’s ambitious project BRI connects Myanmar with two corridors. Especially in the case of importing fuel oil and exporting products to the global market, Chinese ships have to go around the Malacca Strait, which is time consuming and costly and strategically risky. But using Kukpyu Port in Rakhine State will reduce China’s dependence on the Malacca Strait and expand trade. That is why the bilateral relationship between the world’s second largest economy China (GDP $14.140 Trillion, 2019) and the 73rd economy Myanmar (GDP $ 69.994, 2019) is very important (Ahamed, Rahman & Nur, 2020) . China has been playing an important role in Myanmar’s economic development through bilateral trade relations since 1988. From 1988 to 2018, 26% of all foreign investment in Myanmar came from China and as of June 2020, Chinese investment in Myanmar was US $21350.668 Million (DICA, 2020). India shares a 1643 km land border with Myanmar with 4 northeastern states of Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur. Myanmar is the gateway to the implementation of ‘Act East Policy’ and ‘Neighborhood First Policy’ announced by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014 (Ahamed, Rahman & Nur, 2020). In addition, the world’s two most important sea routes, The strait of Malacca and The strait of Hurmuz, are connected to the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean through the Bay of Bengal. Myanmar has a 725 km coastal boundary with the Bay of Bengal. Because of this, Myanmar is geo-politically and geo-strategically India., important to the Western world including China. Due to US presence in Indian Ocean, recent Sino-Indian conflict and Myanmar’s strategic location, Sino-Myanmar relations have become one of the research topics at present. This article will analyze the multifaceted aspects of China-Myanmar relations.

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the representation of women on the cover pages of Vanitha, one of India’s most circulated women’s magazines, spanning from January 2019 to August 2021. Employing a content analysis methodology, we collected and analysed sixty-six cover pages from the magazine, utilising descriptive statistics and visual analysis to gain insights into the portrayal of women. Our findings reveal a pervasive and stereotypical representation of women on the magazine’s cover pages. While females are prominently featured, there remains a significant disparity in age, colour, class, and social status among the featured models. Older women are conspicuously absent from the cover pages, while middle-aged and young women conform to the societal norms dictated by patriarchal structures. Moreover, the cover pages predominantly display single portraits, perpetuating the normalisation of patriarchal ideals surrounding the “ideal” woman. The multidimensionality of the female psyche is primarily overlooked, failing to represent women’s diverse experiences and complexities accurately. Furthermore, our research highlights the dominance of male and female actors as the primary stars featured on the magazine covers, followed by a limited presence of models, politicians, singers, and authors. Additionally, we observe a tendency for cover photographs to emphasise a seductive effect rather than effectively communicating the magazine’s content. Examining the cover lines, we identify several dominant frames: health, celebrities, beauty, food, relationships, career, festivals, astrology, entrepreneurship, travel, and politics. These frames reflect the magazine’s prioritisation of topics and align with the interests and concerns of its target audience. In conclusion, our study underscores the need for more inclusive and diverse representations of women on Vanitha’s cover pages. By challenging stereotypical portrayals, addressing the disparity in age and social status, and adopting a more nuanced approach to the female experience, the magazine can foster a more empowering and authentic representation of women in its content.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of infrastructure (electricity consumption and paved roads) on manufacturing sector performance in Nigeria for the period 1981-2019. The ex post facto research design was adopted for the study, using a combination of the traditional Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) econometric method, and the Augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test for robust and valid estimation results. The co-integration test showed that the equations in the model were integrated. The study findings revealed that infrastructure, proxy by electricity supply had an adverse but not significant effect on manufacturing sector performance while paved roads had a positive and significant impact on manufacturing performance in Nigeria. The study recommends a total overhaul of the electricity sub-sector and targets increased supply specifically for industrial consumption as well as exploring alternative options to increase the road network such as public-private partnership arrangements given its importance to industrial performance.
