Risk Assessment Approach for Software Development using Cause and Effect Analysis
Authors: Riaz Abdur Rehman , Gilani Syed Mushhad
Published: October 2023

In the industry of software development, the risk is the most effective competitor who tries to flop the project at any stage of development. Risk is a critical factor that is obscure and has the potential to wreak massive loss of the project in terms of money, time, and resources. It is also harmful to the credibility of the organization. Most of the organizations don’t focus on this factor, and as a result, might witness the project failing. Lack of risk assessment is very common in most of organizations. This paper introduces risk assessment factors and analyzes the various situations to tackle them. We investigate the most effective key risk variables cost, strategy, technique, operation, and some unknown/unpredictable factors. Based on these variables, survey and interviews are conducted and examined them. We applied empirical studies on these variables and map them on the cause and effect analysis technique. The proposed technique elaborates the factors behind these risk variables. After that, results and analysis of these variables have been incorporated to scale down the impact of risk.

Published: October 2023

One of its subsystems, speech, has a strong underlying characteristic and a distinct voice. Voice disorders are abnormal conditions that influence the quality of voice. Several protocols, including acoustic analysis, can detect clinical voice pathology. Based on a computerized acoustic analysis, machine learning algorithms and non-invasive systems may play a very vital part in initial detection, tracking, and even growth of proficient pathological speech analysis. The aim of this research paper is to collect a non-pathological dataset i.e. healthy voice dataset. Two important and critical features; 1) MFCC and 2) Pitch are used to generate a final audio clip. SVM used as a classifier to train and test the dataset model and the models exhibited reasonably high training and testing accuracies i.e. 85.886% which proves to be a milestone on Urdu language dataset.

Published: October 2023

Color in any image playing a vital role for better understanding and real image visualization. In past when there was no concept of colored images each black and white image need to highlight its own merits to explain an image in a better way, but when the concept of colored images started the things were totally changed to describe and highlight key features and attributes of an image in a more better and effective manner. The key issue is that the old images and videos are color less and in some cases it needs to be colorized. There are a number of applications are uses to colorized a gray-scale image. The authors of this paper also presented an efficient deep learning based image colorization technique.  The proposed system maps all the gray contrast pixels of the image into its corresponding colored pixels to produce a colored image using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) technique. The proposed system is totally an automated system and it avoid any manual work or user hand-define rules. The system first read the gray contrast of each pixel of image; matches function then create the corresponding color contrast from the color map and finally convert the gray contrast image into color image. The system tested around 100 images and found accuracy about 95%.
Impact of Brand Equity on Purchase Intentions of Customers in Insurance Industry of Pakistan
Authors: Hassan Masood , Bashir Muhammad Adnan , Qureshi Muhammad Azeem
Published: October 2023

Insurance firms play an important role in an economyâ€™s growth and development and are key financial institutions that are critical for the success of other companies. They provide stability to both individuals and businesses by agreeing to bear the financial liability of insured parties. However, in Pakistan, the share of insurance towards GDP is significantly lower than in similar developing countries. Thus, we have developed a model that can help the insurance sector improve its image and sustainability. We collected the data from five major cities of Pakistan based on pre-developed questionnaires. The study has a useable sample size of 424. We found that Brand Attitude (BA) and Customer Satisfaction (CS) promote Brand Equity (BE) and Purchase Intention (PI). Further, BE is a determinant of PI. However, brand image has contradicting effects. On the one hand, Brand Image (BI) does not affect BE, but on the other hand, BI has a significant association with PI. The results also suggest that BI, BE, and CS mediates BA and PI. Also, BI and CS affect BE. However, BE does not mediate BI and PI, but BI mediates CS and purchase intentions.
The Impact of Green Human Resource Management on the Triple Bottom Lines of Sustainability Performance
Authors: Naz Saira
Published: October 2023

The concern for a green environment in the last few years has increased significantly, due to which firms worldwide spend considerable resources on corporate social responsibility. GHRM is a new concept that involves all the stakeholders for a sustainable environment. Given its importance, we have focused on the textile sector of Pakistan because it contributes significantly to economic development and environmental decay. The study collected 565 responses non-randomly from the targeted textile sectors of Karachi. Given its importance, we tested a model with five articulated hypotheses and found green recruitment and selection and green empowerment significantly affect environmental performance. But we found an inverse association between training and development and environmental performance. Perhaps, employees in the textile sectors feel the training in their entities is not relevant to environmental sustainability. We also found an insignificant association between green empowerment and environmental performance. Most of the textile units in Pakistan are family owned, and they often do not empower the employees in decision-making. Green knowledge theoretically should enhance the association between green recruitment and selection, but we found it does not. The results suggest that the textile sector in Pakistan need to focus on this aspect to increase the employees’ green knowledge.
Émile Benveniste e a função histórica: uma proposta de leitura
Authors: Freisleben Larissa Colombo
Published: October 2023

Este trabalho propõe uma leitura do artigo “As relações de tempo no verbo francês”, publicado em 1959 por Émile Benveniste. Sugerimos que há, nesse texto, além da descrição da organização do sistema dos tempos verbais em francês, uma teorização sobre a linguagem. Em outras palavras, Benveniste parte da descrição de uma língua para formular uma propriedade geral da linguagem. Inicialmente, apresentamos o artigo de Benveniste em linhas gerais. Em seguida, tratamos de algumas das leituras que foram feitas desse texto, por Gérard Genette (1996), Harald Weinrich (2012), Paul Ricoeur (2010a, 2010b) e Jean Cervoni (1989). Por fim, avançando as proposições de Arrivé (1997), apresentamos nossa proposta de leitura: o artigo de Benveniste permite falar em uma função histórica como um aspecto geral da linguagem. Essa leitura sugere que a noção de função na obra de Benveniste ainda precisa ser melhor explorada.
Émile Benveniste, épistémologue. La nécessité d’une linguistique générale
Authors: Fenoglio Irène
Published: October 2023

Émile Benveniste est reconnu comme celui qui aura réussi à théoriser le « passage du signe à la phrase », seule réceptrice et formalisatrice à la fois du sens actualisé et imprévisible. Il aura été le créateur de l’instance de discours, seul espace où les humains se parlent, où émerge le sens de leur propos, où s’exprime un sujet, y compris le sujet de l’inconscient. En d’autres termes, il aura enrichi la linguistique générale: elle est désormais non seulement "l’ensemble des langues, les lois de leur évolution", non seulement "la linguistique qui s’interroge sur elle-même", mais elle est aussi la linguistique qui s’ouvre à ce monde immense du discours sous forme de parole ou sous forme d’écriture. C’est de linguistique générale que je veux traiter, dans ce travail, en parlant de Benveniste. L’enjeu de mon propos est, en effet, de faire apparaître une sorte de distorsion historique: on travaille Benveniste de plus en plus précisément (exploitation des archives, découverte de nouvelles thématiques – discours poétique, l'écriture, le nombre –), on le traduit, mais ce n'est pas la linguistique générale qu'il développe et expose qui est enseignée, ni utilisée. Nous assistons à un retour de Benveniste mais sans retour à Benveniste.
Prolégomènes à un nouveau lexique benvenistien

Published: October 2023

L’article vise à illustrer le cadre et les premières démarches d’un projet de réédition, sous forme de nouvelle version revue et augmentée, du Lexique d’É. Benveniste publié par J.-C. Coquet et M. Derycke entre 1971 et 1972. Les détails du corpus sur lequel se base le nouveau lexique seront donnés après un passage en revue des lexiques déjà disponibles de terminologies des écoles linguistiques et de linguistes. On présente ensuite, à titre d’exemplification du travail en cours, trois ébauches d’articles : l’un ("Jeu") absent du répertoire Coquet-Derycke, l’autre ("Énonciation") présent dans le lexique originaire, mais renvoyant à une notion dont le rôle et l’impact ont subi depuis une transformation profonde, et le dernier ("Écriture") absent du lexique Coquet-Derycke, symbolisant l’apport aussi remarquable qu’inattendu de la période actuelle des études benvenistiennes.
Susceptibility of the Estonian Russian-speaking Audience to the Spread of Fake News and Information Disorder in the News Media
Authors: Kremez Mihhail
Published: October 2023

The multiplicity of infospheres in a country, especially in the countries with a significant proportion of minorities, creates polarization and distrust towards state institutions. This article addresses the problem by exploring the Estonian Russian-speaking minority’s attitudes towards news media content regarding fake news and information disorder. The semi-structured interviews were conducted with Russian native speakers living in Estonia (N=29), using stimulus materials to induce reactions related to elements of trust in the materials. The results show that interviewers have diverse media preferences, a critical eye for the news, more trust Estonian Russian-language media, and are rather able to recognize fake news and information disorder. The study challenges the widespread understanding that the Estonian Russian-speaking minority lives in an isolated infosphere of Russia. I argue that more attention should be drawn to the information quality in the news aimed at this audience.
Big Data Techniques to Study the Impact of Gender-Based Violence in the Spanish News Media
Authors: Bello Hugo J , Palomar-Ciria Nora , Gallego Elisa , Jiménez Navascués Lourdes , Lozano Celia
Published: October 2023

Despite being an underreported topic in the news media, gender-based violence (GBV) undermines the health, dignity, security and autonomy of its victims. Research has studied many of the factors that generate or maintain this kind of violence. However, the influence of the media is still uncertain. This paper used Big Data techniques to explore how GBV is depicted and reported in digital news media. By feeding neural networks with news, the topic information associated with each article can be recovered. Our findings show a relationship between GBV news and public awareness, the effect of well-known GBV cases, and the intrinsic thematic relationship of GBV news with justice themes.
Effects of Innovation Culture on the Performance of Genge Music Production Companies in Starehe Sub-County, Nairobi County, Kenya
Authors: Mugo Aram , Odek Anthony , Gesimba Paul Omato
Published: October 2023

The Kenya Vision 2030 identifies music and performing arts as one of the sectors that can contribute towards transforming Kenya into a globally competitive and prosperous country with a high quality of life by 2030. In particular, the Genge music industry has the potential to create employment for many young people in the country due to the appeal that this music genre has to youth. However, Genge music production companies have not been effective in creating stable employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for many young people. In this regard, the study sought to examine the effect of innovation culture on the performance of Genge music production companies in Starehe Sub-County, Nairobi County, Kenya. The study made use of the convergent parallel research design that combined quantitative and qualitative research approaches. The quantitative component of the study targeted a population of 252 workers in six Genge music production companies located in Starehe Sub-County, while the qualitative component targeted 10 directors of the Music Copyright Association of Kenya (MCSK) and Kenya Association Music Producers (KAMP). A sample of 70 workers was selected using the proportionate random sampling method for the purposes of collecting quantitative data using survey questionnaires. On the other hand, qualitative data was collected using interview guides from six directors of the MCSK and KAMP that were selected purposively. Findings revealed that Genge music companies have performed relative well in terms of generating revenues to meet their costs, signing new artists, and increasing revenues from music streams. However, the firms have not excelled when it comes to providing adequate remuneration to artists. The study found a statistically significant positive association between the performance of Genge music production companies and innovation culture (β =.607, t = 5.785, p =.002). The finding led to the conclusion that inculcating an innovation culture would enhance the performance of the Genge music production companies. The study recommends that policymakers at the State Department of Culture and Heritage should enhance enforcement of copyright law to promote innovation culture. If implemented, the recommendation will be of benefits to Kenyan youth interested in making a career in the music production value chain, either as artists, sound engineers, videographers, song writers, or marketers, among other music production professions.

A pesquisa científica sobre a relação entre os níveis de vitamina D e as doenças autoimunes têm ganhado cada vez mais destaque nos últimos anos. Este estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma análise crítica dos estudos existentes, a fim de compreender a natureza dessa relação e a sua relevância clínica.As doenças autoimunes são patologias caracterizadas por uma resposta imune inadequada, em que o sistema imunológico ataca erroneamente as próprias células e tecidos do organismo. Diversas doenças autoimunes, como a esclerose múltipla, artrite reumatoide, diabetes tipo 1 e doença inflamatória intestinal, têm sido associadas a níveis baixos de vitamina D. Estudos epidemiológicos têm demonstrado uma relação inversa entre os níveis sanguíneos de vitamina D e o risco de desenvolvimento de diversas doenças autoimunes. Acredita-se que a vitamina D desempenhe um papel importante na regulação do sistema imunológico, atuando tanto na modulação da resposta inflamatória quanto na regulação do equilíbrio entre as células supressoras e ativadoras do sistema imune.No entanto, apesar dessas evidências, a relação entre vitamina D e doenças autoimunes ainda é complexa e controversa. Estudos de intervenção com suplementação de vitamina D têm mostrado resultados contraditórios, com alguns indicando benefícios claros na redução de sintomas e exacerbações da doença, enquanto outros não encontram qualquer efeito significativo.Além disso, a influência dos múltiplos fatores genéticos e ambientais na relação entre vitamina D e doenças autoimunes ainda não foi totalmente elucidada. Mais pesquisas são necessárias para compreender melhor as interações entre a vitamina D e os processos imunológicos subjacentes às doenças autoimunes.

Published: October 2023

É sabido que a Ludicidade consiste em um recurso excelente para o desenvolvimento do adolescente. O uso de jogos nas aulas de matemática tem contribuido de modo significativo para uma melhor qualidade do ensino e da aprendizagem dessa disciplina. Com o objetivo de observar e discutir   contribuições do “jogo de regra” na educação matemática para a recuperação da aprendizagem, foi realizada uma pesquisa com uma amostra de estudantes com dificuldades em matemática no  8º do Ensino Fundamental na Escola Municipal José Alcides, localizada na cidade de Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil. Para isso foram feitas observações por meio de acompanhamento diário sistemático e dialógico, estabelecendo-se contexto educativo, bem como identificadas as concepções gerais sobre aprendizagem matemática dos alunos por meio de um questionário, identificando a predisposição inicial do estudante para a matemática. Posteriormente foi realizado um seminário de planejamento e construído o plano      de ação da pesquisa. Uma seleção de jogos utilizados nas intervenções em sala de aula foi feita procurando nos pressupostos piagetiano a base para as intervenções. Na última etapa, foram realizadas dez intervenções em sala de aula com jogos matemáticos de regras, onde foram aplicados  questionários investigativos. Além disso foi solicitado aos estudantes uma produção textual relatando suas vivências, percepções e opiniões sobre as oficinas. Os resultados da pesquisa revelaram que os jogos potencializam a socialização de modo prazeroso e divertido por meio da competição, ao mesmo tempo, em que desenvolve o raciocínio lógico e crítico de maneira motivadora. Concluiu-se que o “jogo de regra” é capaz de mitigar as consequências do erro; contextualiza o conteúdo e aproxima o estudante com dificuldade de aprendizado da linguagem matemática, proporcionando o desenvolvimento de sua autonomia e consequente recuperação das dificuldades.
Bayesian age models and stacks: combining age inferences from radiocarbon and benthic δ18O stratigraphic alignment
Authors: Lee Taehee , Rand Devin , Lisiecki Lorraine E. , Gebbie Geoffrey , Lawrence Charles
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Previously developed software packages that generate probabilistic age models for ocean sediment cores are designed to either interpolate between different age proxies at discrete depths (e.g., radiocarbon, tephra layers, or tie points) or perform a probabilistic stratigraphic alignment to a dated target (e.g., of benthic δ18O) and cannot combine age inferences from both techniques. Furthermore, many radiocarbon dating packages are not specifically designed for marine sediment cores, and the default settings may not accurately reflect the probability of sedimentation rate variability in the deep ocean, thus requiring subjective tuning of the parameter settings. Here we present a new technique for generating Bayesian age models and stacks using ocean sediment core radiocarbon and probabilistic alignment of benthic δ18O data, implemented in a software package named BIGMACS (Bayesian Inference Gaussian Process regression and Multiproxy Alignment of Continuous Signals). BIGMACS constructs multiproxy age models by combining age inferences from both radiocarbon ages and probabilistic benthic δ18O stratigraphic alignment and constrains sedimentation rates using an empirically derived prior model based on 37 14C-dated ocean sediment cores (Lin et al., 2014). BIGMACS also constructs continuous benthic δ18O stacks via a Gaussian process regression, which requires a smaller number of cores than previous stacking methods. This feature allows users to construct stacks for a region that shares a homogeneous deep-water δ18O signal, while leveraging radiocarbon dates across multiple cores. Thus, BIGMACS efficiently generates local or regional stacks with smaller uncertainties in both age and δ18O than previously available techniques. We present two example regional benthic δ18O stacks and demonstrate that the multiproxy age models produced by BIGMACS are more precise than their single-proxy counterparts.
Application of Machine Learning Techniques for Asphalt Pavement Performance Prediction
Authors: Ali Abdualmtalab , Milad Abdalrhman
Published: October 2023

Pavement management systems (PMS) and maintaining the quality of pavement roads are crucial to human and societal well-being. However, maintaining asphalt pavement quality is complex due to various factors, such as climate change, traffic volume, material properties, and pavement age. This research aims to develop pavement condition index (PCI) models in three U.S. states (California, Hawaii, and New Mexico) using Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and compared with four additional machine learning (ML) algorithms which are: Random Forest (R.F.), Decision Tree (D.T.), Gradient Boosting (B.G.), and Adaboost were trained. The data obtained was employed for predicting the PCI model as a function of pavement distress and traffic volume. The inputs related to pavement distress and traffic volume variables' effects: pavement age, fatigue cracking, longitudinal cracking, transverse cracking, Cumulative Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL), Annual Average Daily Truck Traffic (AADTT), and Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT). According to the statistical evaluation results, all the ML models exhibited excellent prediction capabilities, as evidenced by their high coefficient of determination (R^2) values of 96.8%,96.6%,97.1%, and 97.4% and low Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and Mean Square Error values of 1.888%, 1.874%,1.830, and 1.556%, and 2.529%,2.613%,2.391%, and 2.545% and 6.348%,6.828%,5.716%, and 5.081% and 9.98%, respectively. Furthermore, the results indicate that the ML models demonstrated superior prediction accuracy compared to the (MLR) models developed under the same data.
“Alfineteira humana”? As crianças na ciência do vírus Zika produzida em Recife/PE
Authors: Fleischer Soraya
Published: October 2023

Na pandemia do vírus Covid-19, novos fenômenos patológicos despertaram surpresa, horror e curiosidade. O mesmo aconteceu com uma epidemia anterior, a do vírus Zika, entre 2015 e 2016. Vírus, vetor, gestante, feto – para chegar a essa correspondência, aconteceu um “intensivão científico”. Dezenas de cientistas correram para Recife/PE, o epicentro à época, e transformaram as crianças atingidas nos principais sujeitos de pesquisa. Ainda em 2018, entrevistei 13 cientistas do Zika. Em 2021, li os seus 36 artigos científicos publicados a partir de uma pergunta específica: onde e como aparecem as crianças? Como conteúdo, proponho uma leitura etnográfica destes artigos que, mesmo padronizados, sintéticos e herméticos, revelam informações nas entrelinhas. Como forma, farei um experimento literário, seguindo as seções comumente organizadas nesses artigos. Como empiria, sigo uma ordem microscópica até uma ordem macrossocial, da célula à demografia da epidemia. Contudo, a despeito de toda esta ciência feita a partir das crianças, elas continuam invisíveis. Por essas pistas, de conteúdo, forma e empiria, e amparada por expoentes contemporâneas da Antropologia da Ciência, sugiro uma análise sobre os encontros científicos durante a epidemia do Zika ali no Recife.

In the established scheme, the plant preparation and probiotic effectively complement each other, which is significantly manifested by an increase in lysozyme activity of blood serum by 17.85%, and bactericidal activity of blood serum by 18.11%. It is noted that the established regime for the use of the studied evaporates contributes to improving the safety of livestock and the realization of the biological potential of meat productivity in broiler chickens.
Comparative effectiveness of cryoprotective diluents for rooster seed
Authors: Silyukova Y. L. , Stanishevskaya O. I.
Published: October 2023

The preservation and use of frozen/ thawed male sperm is important for maintaining the biodiversity of poultry and will eventually play an important role in breeding, allowing greater flexibility in breeding programs. This use of thawed semen is advisable only at a high level of its fertilizing ability. Trehalose is a promising natural component in cryoprotective media for rooster semen due to its exceptional ability to neutralize cold stress. The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of using trehalose as part of a medium for cryopreservation of rooster semen based on the Russian development - Leningrad cryoprotective medium (LCM-control). The composition of the LCM-T20 experimental medium with the addition of trehalose at a concentration of 9.5 mM has been developed. The mobility indicators of thawed rooster semen (Rhode Island Red breed, ♂n=10) did not differ significantly depending on the composition of the medium. Significant differences (p <0.05) were obtained in terms of egg fertilization: 86.0% when using the LCM-T20 medium and 79.0% using LCMcontrol and in assessing the state of the vitelline membrane of the egg yolk (p <0.001). The fertilization rate of eggs at a level acceptable for thawed semen of 50% was maintained until the 10th day (20th day of egg collection) from the last insemination when using the LKS-T20 medium. The functional usefulness of thawed sperm was maintained for 15 days (the 25th day of egg collection) from the last insemination when using the LCM-T20 media - egg fertilization was 15.0%, the average number of points of interaction of sperm with the vitelline membrane of the egg yolk was 345.2 pcs/cm2. When using the LCM-control diluent, the functional ability of thawed spermatozoa was absent during the same control periods. The achieved high level of egg fertilization when trehalose was included in the cryoprotective diluent in combination with the method of freezing rooster semen in pellets confirms the feasibility of introducing the LCMT20 diluent into the technology for preserving the genetic diversity of local and indigenous breeds of chickens using in vitro methods.

Published: October 2023

In clinically healthy Holstein cows (n=25), the dynamics of hormonal metabolism in the first trimester of cow pregnancy was studied. For this purpose, the concentration of kisspeptin, 17β-estradiol, progesterone and cortisol was determined in the blood serum of cows. The animals were regularly monitored with clinical and obstetricgynecological studies. The level of kisspeptin in the first trimester of pregnancy increased almost throughout the entire period under consideration with a decrease in concentration to 194.23±23.61 pg/ml on day 98. The level of estradiol during the first trimester increased from 49.66±9.68 to 76.20±17.84 pg/ml, respectively, which is also explained by the inclusion of the fetoplacental complex in its synthesis and secretion. Progesterone and cortisol levels were on average at the same level. During the experiment, out of 25 animals, embryonic death was recorded in 14 on the 30th day after insemination. As a result, two groups were formed: the 1st group - animals with a normal course of pregnancy and the 2nd group with embryonic death. Analyzing the data of enzyme immunoassay in animals of the 1st group, one can note a decrease in the level of kisspeptin by 11% on the 28th day compared to the 14th day after insemination. At the same time, the concentration of estradiol, on the contrary, increased by 29%. In the second group, on the contrary, the level of kisspeptin and estradiol did not change and, on average, remained almost at the same level. On the 28th day after insemination in the first group, the cortisol concentration was significantly higher compared to the second group - 15.32±3.23 and 9.00±0.89 nmol/l, respectively. Data for kisspeptin and estradiol showed no significant differences. However, it is of interest that in the first group, with an increase in the level of estradiol, a decrease in the level of kisspeptin occurs. In particular, this is consistent with previous studies, according to which such an interaction of these hormones can be regulated by a high concentration of progesterone.

The purpose of the study was to study the features of the manifestation of the epizootic process during a returning infection in a fresh focus of brucellosis in cattle. The work was carried out on a dairy farm on a herd of cattle of a black-and-white breed, for a long time successful in brucellosis. The intensity of the epizootic process was assessed based on the results of serological studies of cattle of all sex and age groups. Immunological studies were carried out in accordance with regulatory documents on the diagnosis of brucellosis of animals. Standard diagnostic kits (S-) from commercial kits were used for serological studies in generally accepted reactions. Differentiation of positive and doubtful reactions was carried out using an experimental sample of an antigen made from brucella in R-form. A dynamic spread of brucellosis was noted during the six months with the 7% ill animals among all of the receptive cattle. Wellness measures were carried out with using the poorly agglutinogenic vaccine of strain Brucella abortus 82. The recovery period was 24 months. During of the trouble period 23% of infected animals were detected, including 19% of cows and 4% of young animals. The number of sick animals in a percent was estimated from the total numbers of the cattle in the farm. Based on the data obtained, it was established that under modern conditions, against the background of longterm well-being in a fresh focus of brucellosis, a dynamic spread of infection was noted with a wide coverage of susceptible livestock and a high intensity of the epizootic process.

Sheep pox and goat pox (GFP) and peste des petits ruminants (PPR) are infectious diseases of viral nature that mainly affect small ruminants. In domestic animals these are sheep and goats and in wildlife saigas, ibex, antelope and so on. These diseases are considered to be emergent infections, since they are characterized by a transboundary route of entry and spread, as well as causing enormous economic damage in small livestock due to almost 100% mortality and high lethality. Studies have shown that there is a high risk of introduction of emergent infectious diseases pathogens from the territory of West Kazakhstan region (through Kaztalovsky district) to Alexandrovo-Gaysky district of Saratov region. The risk is assessed as high, due to the fact that the largest number of susceptible small ruminants is concentrated on the territory of Kaztalovsky district, which amounts to 287640 heads. Small ruminants’ population density in this district was 15.5 heads/km2. The highest number of cattle is also observed on the territory of Kaztalovsky district (which is 117893 heads, which is of certain importance when keeping cattle and cattle together as a potential source-virus carrier of pathogens of the considered infections. Risk scoring, taking into account the criterion of availability of international routes of communication, showed 2 points out of 5. But, taking into account the fact that the interstate border is not marked and there is no control line, it entails the free movement of both wild and farm animals, in addition, the risk of uncontrolled movement and transportation of animals and livestock products through anthropogenic factor increases. Taking into account these facts, the risk can be assessed as 5 points out of 5.

Obesity in children is a worldwide health issue. The health of children has become a primary focus for the parents who seek healthy growth of their child therefore they research about a variety of topics, including obesity in their children. This particular research is part of a larger study which evaluated the Impact of fast-food TV advertisements on children’s eating behavior. The focus of this particular project was to assess the reaction of children after watching fast food advertisement and to find out either advertisements persuade kids towards fast food consumption or not. It will also discuss how some of these advertisements were exaggerated to persuade children to instantly convince their parents to buy them fast food. It should first be noted that overall, children are prone to bad decision making because they cannot differentiate between right or wrong and healthy or unhealthy foods. Every fast-food advertisement was found to be exaggerating for consumption, as opposed to telling truth about the nutrition content of fast foods. This is an important finding because it is just as valuable, if not more so, for parents to prevent a disease in children as it is to detect it early. All fast food advertisement was considered when assessing persuasion in terms of consumption. All advertisement used more than 50% of the time when soliciting money. These results lend ideas for future research on such topics as well as ideas to better the current state of the diseases associated with fast food. The methodologies applied to this research are quantitative method that included questionnaire whereby 300 sample sizes were selected to fill the questionnaire. My study intends to investigate that does children's eating behavior change after watching fast food advertisement? The theory I used in this research is cultivation theory and I came to the conclusion through empirical research that fast food advertisements have a lasting impact on children, not only creating cravings in them, but also making them want fast food from their parents. Moreover, the results of the study support the claim that fast food advertising affects children. Keywords: Obesity, Fast Food Advertisements, Children, Parents, Aggression, Mental Health, Physical health, Eating Habits.
