Authors: Carbonetti Giancarlo , De Matteis Giampaolo , Di Zio Marco , Fardelli Davide , Ferrara Raffaele , Lipizzi Fabio
Published: January 2023

Over the years, official statistics have shown an increasing territorial focus on providing detailed and quality information. The Population and Housing Census has always ensured the availability of sub-municipal data useful for social, economic, and environmental decision-making processes. The new Italian Permanent Census focuses heavily on the integration of administrative and sample data and plans to provide more stable and consistent statistical data at the various territorial levels every year. Within this framework, sub-municipal data are derived from the integration of the Base Register of Individuals and the Base Register of Places. Data accuracy depends on the quality of the registers and the procedures adopted to integrate and process the input data. In this regard, Istat is working to improve geocoding information and linking procedures. One of the problems encountered is the presence of non-geocoded units due to problems in the administrative data. Istat has studied a procedure that integrates deterministic and probabilistic approaches to assign the enumeration area code to these critical units. It was conducted an experimental study to assess the quality of the imputation procedure. In this paper, we discuss the approach adopted, the evaluation process, the results obtained, and the impact on data quality.

Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: On-screen keyboard controlled by gaze is the most useful approach to help people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) communicate. However, the design of the traditional on-screen keyboard hinders gaze typing for languages other than English. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this paper is developing a specialized on-screen keyboard controlled by gaze for Vietnamese people with ALS. METHODS: Designed on-screen keyboard layouts and selection mechanism based on the requirements of eye typing and Vietnamese language characteristics from the statistics results on the Vietnamese Wikipedia Corpus dataset. During the experiment, we also absorbed and modified some design features according to the users’ suggestions. RESULTS: The authors proposed two new specialized on-screen keyboard layouts controlled by eye gaze for the Vietnamese language which both speed up typing and reduce typos. The results of the experiment are an average typing speed of respectively 23.1 and 26.1 characters per minute, and an average error rate of 1.0% and 0.5% for the two layouts. All participants were satisfied when using the system at their house. CONCLUSIONS: Although the effectiveness of the proposed method depends on the time of use and the familiarity of users with the new keyboard, the potential of the proposed method is great.

Authors: Hsiao Victor , Stoltzfus Nicole , Withers Mellissa
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Universities could positively impact the health and well-being of employees through workplace wellness programs (WWP). OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of WWP among Asia-Pacific universities, identify gaps and challenges, and solutions to challenges. METHODS: An online survey was sent to members of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities to assess programs on physical fitness, nutrition/weight, mental health/stress, family support, chronic disease prevention, and safety. RESULTS: Employees at 28 universities in 13 economies completed the survey on behalf of their university. Most common WWP were paid maternity/paternity leave (89.3% /85.7%), disaster preparedness training (85.7%), fitness challenges (78.6%), written policies regarding discrimination/hate speech (75.0%), and quiet rest areas (71.4%). However, few addressed childcare, breastfeeding support, workplace sexual harassment, tobacco use, or mental health. Programs rarely aligned with the reported goal of increasing employee morale, but instead resulted from government mandates. Many universities offered sporadic, one-off programs but lacked comprehensive, coordinated programming and adequate evaluation procedures. Key challenges were low employee participation, limited budget, and lack of leadership support. This study highlights the need for improved program administration, information dissemination, data collection to evaluate impact, and leadership support. CONCLUSION: WWP could benefit universities and employees but should be implemented and evaluated as part of a comprehensive campus wellness culture.

BACKGROUND: Workplace inspections are applied to facilitate the adherence to the occupational health and safety regulations. The Iranian Ministry of Health introduced a new software system for tablets to inspect workplaces. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to take measurements of the usability, mental workload, and mood of inspectors. METHODS: Inspectors used both pen-and-paper and tablet methods to inspect the automotive industry in a mixed-method procedure. The NASA-TLX score, QUIS score, I-PANAS (SF) situation, inspection time, and number of errors were collected throughout the procedure. The differences were investigated using a paired sample and the Wilcoxon signed ranks test. RESULTS: In terms of efficacy, using the tablet resulted in lower error rates, but it took longer to complete the inspection task (P < 0.001). Participants perceived a lower workload when inspecting with a tablet rather than the traditional method. (Mental Demand: p < 0.002, Performance: p < 0.009, Effort: p < 0.012, TLX: p < 0.002 based on various subcomponents of NASA-TLX). The newly introduced system’s usability was insufficient. CONCLUSION: Although the use of tablets has improved safety inspections, ergonomic redesign of the system and consideration of a user-centered approach, as well as inspector training, can make the system more likely to succeed.

Published: January 2023

Over the last decades there has been substantial progress on the development of theory and numerical methods for singular systems (known also as descriptor systems, semistate systems, differential alge-braic systems, generalized state-space systems, etc.). The need for such methodsarisen primarily from the increased practical interest for a more general system description which takes the intrinsic physical sys-tem model structure into account. Besides that, many physical process-es are most naturally and easily modelled as mixed systems of differen-tial and algebraic equations (DAE). As the title implies the paper de-scribes the singular systems theory application in power systems dy-namics simulation, particularly considered an alternative method for energy systems’ mathematical models formulation based on the singu-lar systems theory elements with some indicative examples illustrating feasibility and efficiency of this approach
Research of Geometric and Information Models for Awning Structures

Published: January 2023

The article analyzes membrane (awning) structures, which become relevant due to their cost-effectiveness and the creation of original forms. The characteristics of awning structures, the possibilities of molding, the use of various materials and combined options for com-bining an awning with other materials are considered. Due to their cost-effectiveness, tent structures are becoming increasingly popular today, because in modern socio-economic conditions there is a need for the rapid construction of low-cost buildings to overcome the shortage of mobile housing and structures for other purposes. In the conditions of restoration of the lost objects of buildings and structures, the use of tent coverings is important. Their development was held back for a long time due to the non-compliance of domestic tent materials with the high requirements for tent coverings of this type, namely: strength, durability, color diversity, light fastness, etc. The use of hinged struc-tures allows you to create small architectural forms and mobile build-ingsthat are not only quickly erected, but also easilytransformed in accordance with a change in functionality. This allows you to create new types of objects, such as stadiums, airports, giant greenhouses, bo-tanical gardens, warehouses, etc. Modern technologies combine the advantages of industrial construction methods with the individualiza-tion of form and open the way to the use of various awning structures. Membrane coatings, as one of the modern trends in the presentation of a new form of roofing, create new spatial characteristics of architectur-al objects. They form expanses freed from bulky internal structures. The freedom of space determines the flexibility and functionality of its use, a high degree of adaptation and, as a result, the durability of the space and structure. Having a wide variety of forms, this type of coat-ing has broad prospects for use along with other architectural and struc-tural systems. To ensure such characteristics, the article proposes an in-formation model of the proportionality of the elements of the architec-tural form, established on the basis of the information modularity of the relations of the elements for the volumetric structure.
Methods of Solving the Initial Value Problem for Nonlinear Integro-Differential Equations with Local Error Estimation
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Kunynets Andrii , Pelekh Roman ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: January 2023

One of the modern scientific methods of researching phenomena and pro-cesses is mathematical modeling, which in many cases allows replacing the real process and makes it possible to obtain both a qualitative and a quantitative pic-ture of the process. Since the exact solutions of such models can be found in very individual cases, it is necessary to use approximate methods. In applied mathematics, fractional-rational approximations, which under appropriate con-ditions give a high rate of convergence of algorithms, bilateral and monotonic approximations have become widely used.In this work, using the technique of constructing one-step methods for solv-ing the initial problem for ordinary differential equations and developing the sought solution into a finite continued fraction, a numerical method for solving the Cauchy problem for nonlinear integro-differential equations of the Volterra type is proposed. The values of the parameters at which the nonlinear method of the first and second order of accuracy is obtained are found.Computational formulas are proposed, which at each integration step allow obtaining an upper and lower approximation to the exact solution without additional references to the right-hand side of the integro-differential equation. Calculation formulas, in which the main terms of the local error differ only in sign, form a two-sided method. We take the half-sum of bilateral approximations to the exact solution as the approximate solution at the given integration point, and the absolute value of the half-difference determines the error of the obtained result.The modular nature of the proposed algorithms makes it possible to ob-tain several approximations to the exact solution of the initial problem for the nonlinear integro-differential equation at each point of integration. The comparison of these approximations gives useful information in the matter of choosing the integration step or in assessing the accuracy of the result

Authors: Potaman N.
Published: January 2023

The formation of a rational route network contributes to the timely and uninterrupted delivery of products and more efficient interaction of supplier organizations, recipient organizations and trucking organizations. However, at present, the issues of increasing the level of customer service, which in market conditions are closely related to the problem of service and quality of service, are becoming increasingly important. The quality of transportation should be understood as the ability of the trucking industry to meet the needs of enterprises and the public in transport services with minimal costs. Thus, there is a question of forming a rational route network, which would improve the quality of customer service with minimal costs. The use of economic and mathematical methods and information technologies in the formation of a rational route network allows to obtain a synergistic effect, namely by reducing overall costs, improve the quality of service. The formation of a rational route network according to the proposed algorithm allows to determine the cost of delivery of goods and the level of service of cargo owners with the specified number of dispatchers and cars at the enterprise and provide companies with practical recommendations on the number of dispatchers and cars needed to meet customer needs. service.

Published: January 2023

Objective: To identify the agricultural rotation crops grown throughout a year by the producers of two farming communities in Champotón, Campeche, Mexico.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This exploratory-descriptive research was conducted in 2019, in Santo Domingo Kesté and Sihochac, Champotón, Campeche. Documentary research was conducted and a survey with a total of 200 questionnaires was applied, following the snowball technique. The resulting data were analyzed with descriptive statistics using Excel’s statistical package.
Results: Chihua pumpkin (Cucurbita argyrosperma Huber) and sugarcane (Sacharumm officinarum) are the most economically important crops. The former is specific to Santo Domingo Kesté and the latter, to Sihochac. Maize is grown in May in Sihochac, and in different months in Kesté. Chihua pumpkin, peanut (Arachis hypogaea), bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), sesame seed (Sesamum indicum), sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), cassava (Manihot esculenta), and hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) are grown only in Kesté, in different times of the year.
Study limitations/Implications: Since this research is of a local nature, its results cannot be generalized, although they may be similar to other regions of the country.
Findings/Conclusions: Some agricultural relay crops are grown in Kesté and not in the Sihochac community. The way in which each community organizes its crops depends on socio-cultural factors and available resources.

Published: January 2023

Objective: To determine the water quality of an aquaponics system interconnected by a biofilter, using sponge gourd (Luffa cylindrica) as an inert support.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The organisms used in the aquaponics system were juvenile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and wormseed (Chenopodium ambrosioides). The following physicochemical parameters of the water were analyzed: temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, NH4+, NO2-, and NO3-. Data generated in this work were subjected to an analysis of variance (ANOVA) and to the comparison of means (Tukey’s test, p<0.05).
Results: Recirculating tank water through the biofilter and plants reduced NH4+ and NO3- by 31.6% and 18.5%, respectively. The total ammonia nitrogen in the tank did not exceed 0.022 mg L-1. The fish survival rate was 100% and 725.8 g of wormseed were harvested. The wormseed did not show symptoms of mineral deficiency.
Study Limitations/Implications: Aquaponics production is still limited to small surfaces, as a consequence of the costs involved in its handling.
Findings/Conclusions: Water quality parameters of the tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)-wormseed (Chenopodium ambrosioides) aquaponics system —interconnected through a biofilter with Luffa cylindrica— fulfilled the recommendations for such system.

Published: January 2023

Objective: To characterize the avocado production system in Huatusco, Veracruz.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Interviews based on the snowball method were applied to avocado producers in Huatusco, Veracruz. Meanwhile, fruit and water samples were used to perform a multiresidue analysis of pesticides.
Results: The monoculture plantations are rainfed. They have a density of 100-150 trees ha-1. The Hass variety predominates in Andosols, with 5-100% slopes. Most of the producers (92%) carry out conventional management, applying pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Herbicides and brushcutters are used to control weeds. No pesticides were detected in the water samples, while Imidacloprid, Thiabendazole, and alpha-Cypermethrin were identified in a fruit sample, with 0.0038 ± 0.0014 mg/kg, 0.0022 ± 0.0009 mg/kg and 0.0703 ± 0.000 mg /kg concentrations, respectively. These concentrations fall within the limits allowed in Mexico.
Study Limitations/Implications: A detailed and frequent sampling of avocado fruits should be carried out to determine pesticide residues. It is also necessary to analyze samples of running water near the orchards to prevent pollution.
Findings/Conclusions: The empirical knowledge of the producers about the type of soil is more precise than the scientific classification: they identify five classes of soils beyond Andosols. Additionally, there is a marked inequality in land tenure, since large-scale producers (25% of all producers) own 86% of the established area. Although, in a preliminary sampling, pesticide concentrations did not exceed the limits of residues allowed in the avocado pulp, the number of pesticide applications should be reduced.

This collaborative autoethnography reflects on how each author experienced COVID-19 and associated precarity. We explore the ways in which this experience relates to our identities (both particular and plural), and our positionalities in terms of privilege and marginality. As a collective of diverse collaborators, we confront dialectical questions of self and society. Our contributions reveal our advantage/disadvantage, mobility/immobility, and the borders and boundedness before/ during/after COVID-19. We show the power of curative writing in collaborative autoethnography and how the sharing of our experiences of vulnerability represents an invitation to human connection.  
Canadian children and race: Toward an anti-racism analysis
Authors: Escayg Kerry-Ann , Berman Rachel , Royer Natalie
Published: January 2023

Psychological research on Canadian children and race has shown that young White and racialized children generally have a pro-White bias. While scholars have utilized developmental or social psychological explanations for this finding, none have used an antiracism lens to interpret children’s racial attitudes or to develop an antiracism pedagogy. To address this research gap, this article uses antiracism theory as an analytical tool to explore the social-historical processes that have affected how children evaluate racial differences and White identity. It also brie y proposes antiracism teaching practices specfic c to early childhood education settings.
Un milieu de vie: Temoignages des participants aux Programmes de Ressources pour la Famille (Français)
Authors: Silver Susan , Berman Rachel , Wilson Sue , Garramone Pariss
Published: January 2023

[Introduction]: "Les programmes de ressources pour la famille (PRF) offrent un modèle d’apprentissage et de soins de la petite enfance enchâssés dans des environnements qui fournissent des services universels multiples, adaptés aux besoins et aux aspirations des familles. Les services des PRF ont pour objectif d’encourager les parents à rechercher le bien-être, pour eux et pour leurs enfants. Contrairement à l’approche traditionnelle de prestation de services, les PRF adoptent des pratiques d’autonomisation qui permettent aux fournisseurs de services de jouer un rôle de catalyseurs ou de facilitateurs plutôt que d’experts, et aux clients d’être considérés comme des participants plutôt que comme des bénéficiaires. Ainsi, dans les centres de ressources pour la famille, c’est une approche participative et non hiérarchique que l’on préconise dans le cadre du soutien à la famille. Les PRF sont profondément enracinés dans la collectivité et représentent une ressource indispensable dans le cadre du développement de réseaux de soutien pour les participants et leurs familles. Il existe plus de 2 000 PRF à travers le Canada, au service de centaines de milliers de familles. Les expériences quotidiennes vécues par les participants aux PRF révèlent différents niveaux de participation donnant lieu à de multiples résultats importants et significatifs. Nous avons tenté de capturer ces expériences dans le cadre d’entrevues avec les participants, et avons cherché ainsi à mieux comprendre l’essentiel des programmes de ressources pour la famille. Nos recherches nous ont permis de reconnaître les résultats ambitieux que tente de réaliser ce modèle communautaire et inclusif de services destinés aux enfants et à la famille."
What Participants Value: Practices and Outcomes at Family Resource Programs (English)
Authors: Silver Susan , Berman Rachel , Wilson Sue , Salazar M. Carmen Carrero de , Wilson Leslie
Published: January 2023

[Introduction]: " Family Resource Programs (FRPs) offer a model of early childhood learning and care embedded within environments that offer multiple services that are universally accessible and responsive to the needs and aspirations of families. The services provided by FRPs, are aimed at engaging families in pursuing states of well-being for themselves and their children. In contrast to the traditional service delivery approach, FRPs embrace empowerment practices where service providers see themselves as catalysts or facilitators rather than as experts, and clients are seen as participants rather than as recipients. As such, in a family resource environment, there is a non-hierarchical and participatory approach to family support. FRPs have deep roots in the community and are an integral resource for building networks of support for participants and their families. There are over 2,000 FRPs across Canada, reaching tens of thousands of families. 

The everyday experiences of participating in FRPs reveal multiple levels of engagement, leading to outcomes of value and significance. We have tried to capture these experiences through the interview process, and in this way sought to understand the essence of Family Resource Programs. The research process has provided us with an appreciation of the far-reaching outcomes of this inclusive, community-based model of services for children and families. We hope that we have conveyed these experiences in the portraits presented in the companion volume A Place to Go. This volume presents an evaluation tool, and a theoretical overview of the practice themes on which the tool is based. The tool consists of 35 indicators organized thematically and identified through the analysis of interviews with participants of FRPs across Canada."
Families caring for children in the 21st century
Authors: Berman Rachel
Published: January 2023

In this chapter, Berman focuses on families with children and discusses the challenges of parenting children over the life course, including older adults parenting young adult children. The assumptions made about parents and the meanings assigned to parenting styles and practices, often gendered, are discussed. Socialization, in particular, is highlighted as the critical means by which parents teach meanings, practices, and processes to children, a process in which children are actively involved. While the act of parenting is observed as an experience that has remained remarkably consistent over space and time, this is offset by a focus on the creativity involved in parenting, for example, in the raising of gender nonconforming children.
Corridor Talk: Canadian Feminist Scholars Share Stories of Research Partnerships
Authors: Berman Rachel
Published: January 2023

Corridor Talk contains contributions from feminist scholars from across Canada from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds. When the anthropologist Paul Rainbow coined the term, 'corridor talk,' he used it to refer to information that was relegated to side chats with colleagues, information that was not to be included in field notes, manuscripts or journal articles. These were the unimportant details or 'gossip' concerning a person's research, although he noted that a person's reputation often hinged on such discussions. Most feminist scholars, like many working within the realm of qualitative methodology, have for many years, rejected this discourse of 'unimportant details' and have chosen instead to document experiences and struggles during the research process as a way of exploring such issues as: whose interests are served by the research, what is the purpose(s) of the research, what are the goals of the research? In this book, graduate students, sessionals, independent scholars, community members, as well as established scholars, have an opportunity to share their experiences with the reader about doing feminist research, including the pitfalls, the benefit of hindsight, the 'what ifs' and the 'ah ha' moments. By sharing stories about the emotional struggles and methodological dilemmas that occur in the process of doing feminist research, the authors provide researchers, both seasoned and new, an invaluable inside look at conducting feminist research. 
Somali-Canadian mothers' experiences in parenting a child with autism spectrum disorder
Authors: Kediye Fatima , Valeo Angela , Berman Rachel
Published: January 2023

This paper reports on the experiences of ten Somali-Canadian mothers parenting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (asd). Using focus groups and open-ended questions, the study asked the mothers to narrate their experiences and beliefs regarding the stresses they face in parenting a child with asd. Many of the stresses reported by the mothers included anxiety over lack of developmental gains in their children with asd and the resulting issues over safety and future independence. Tensions with key professionals such as teachers and doctors was also noted as causing considerable stress and was perceived to result from limited language skills on the mothers’ part, and lack of knowledge of Somali culture on the part of the professionals. The absence of an extended family in Canada was also noted as causing undue hardship for these mothers and was complicated by Canadian immigration policies that were perceived as rigid. The mothers’ negative experiences with the general public often led them to isolate themselves and their child. While parenting a child with asd has considerable challenges, being an immigrant mother and a member of a visible minority appears to intensify those challenges. 
Adults researching with children
Authors: Berman Rachel , MacNevin Maggie
Published: January 2023

The focus of this chapter is on research with younger children, and on what Corsaro (2005) describes as micro-level approaches to data generation, such as interviews, focus groups, and ethnography, as well as creative methods, paying particular attention to the role(s) of the researcher and conceptualizations of children in the process (for a discussion of reflexivity in research with youth, see Raby, 2007). More specifically, we begin the chapter with a discussion of reflexivity in qualitative research, particularly as it relates to researcher positionality, and then move to examine how children are conceptualized in research, paying particular attention to research on children and research with children. We next consider issues connected to gaining access to child participants, as well as what is involved in seeking participation from children themselves in research. The researcher's role is then discussed, as are issues of power in the research process. A- dilemma faced by a research team is presented prior to the conclusion of the chapter.
Equity as Praxis in Early Childhood Education and Care
Authors: Berman Rachel , Abawi Zuhra , Eizadirad Ardavan
Published: January 2023

Equity as Praxis in Early Childhood Education and Care aims to map, deconstruct, and engage with different models of equity as they pertain to the early childhood education landscape in Ontario. Drawing on marginalized narratives of gender, race, Indigeneity, dis/ability and inclusion, and migration, immigration, and displacement, the authors discuss how to advance the field and make it more equitable for children, families, early childhood educators, and all other practitioners. This edited collection outlines the current political climate of early childhood education and care in Ontario through a critical analysis of policies and dominant discourses of equity and inclusion. By prompting readers to reflect on and critique their understandings of children, families, communities, and practices in the field, the authors seek to provide counternarratives to Eurocentric developmentalist hegemonies and an alternative strength-based approach to critical and transformative praxis.

This vital text encourages rethinking how narratives of equity and inclusion are constructed and what this means for young children and their families in Ontario, as well as throughout Canada. This is an essential resource for students in early childhood education and care, early childhood studies, and education programs.
Coping with violence and displacement through media: The experiences of Syrian audiences
Authors: Alhayek Katty
Published: January 2023

Since 2011, media has played a significant role in the Syrian conflict, which started as a peaceful uprising, then escalated into a violent civil war resulting in the largest refugee and displacement crisis in the world. Mass media played a negative role, acting as a driver of the Syrian conflict by inciting violence, hate speech, and sectarianism. In this article, I focus on successful alternative media interventions that challenge the violent, stereotypical discourse dominant in mass media. As part of a larger research project, I examine, as a case study, the discourse surrounding the Syrian television drama series Ghadan Naltaqi (GN) [We’ll Meet Tomorrow] which generated an exemplary dialogue between the forcibly displaced segment of its audience and the writer/creator of the show, Iyad Abou Chamat. I consider GN as an alternative media intervention because it provides a case where media creators help displaced people both to mitigate the traumatic effects of a highly polarising conflict, and to find a healing space from violent and alienating dominant media discourses. 
Inter and Enter: An Invitation to Collaboration Thru Autoethnography
Authors: Alexander Bryant Keith , Hernandez Carmen G. , Pelias Ronald J. , Alhayek Katty , Poulos Christopher , Moreira Claudio , Sutton Timothy , Stephenson Ayshia , Foster Elissa , Twishime Porntip Israsena

This performative and collaborative autoethnography plays with the homophonic or maybe homiletics of “inter” and “enter” as the invitational aspect of collaborative autoethnography. The contribution of diverse collaborators from differing racial, ethnic, geo-spatial locations, and generational standpoints speak to/between experiences with the dialogic aspects of autoethnography; the speaking of self with and for others that is always a part of autoethnographic practice, now made salient in the intentional collaborative, thus exploring the interpersonal, interracial, international, intersectional, interstitial, and the symbolic interactional aspects of autoethnography.

Published: January 2023

Latar Belakang: Penggunaan obat-obatan yang tidak rasional adalah masalah yang tersebar luas di semua tingkat pelayanan kesehatan, terutama di rumah sakit. Penggunaan antibiotik di rumah sakit yang tidak perlu atau berlebihan mendorong berkembangnya resistensi terhadap bakteri tertentu. Adanya hubungan yang erat antara penggunaan antibiotik yang salah dengan timbulnya resistensi bakteri penyebab infeksi nosokomial. Sehingga penting diketahui mekanisme kerja antibiotik agar pemberiannya sesuai dengan bakteri penyebab suatu penyakit.

Isi: Mekanisme kerja dari antibiotik yang dikelompokkan menjadi 3 kelompok besar yaitu antibiotik yang menargetkan dinding sel bakteri, antibiotik yang menghalangi produksi protein baru, dan antibiotik yang menargetkan replikasi DNA atau DNA.

Kesimpulan: Antibiotik yang menargetkan dinding sel bakteri adalah golongan ß-laktam (penisilin, cefalosporin, karbapenem, dan monobaktam), glikopeptida, daptomisin, kolistin. Adapun antibiotik yang menghalangi sintesis protein adalah rifamisin, aminoglikosida, makrolid dan ketolide, tetrasiklin dan glisilsiklin, kloramfenikol, klindamisin, streptogram, linezolid, nitrofurantoin.

PERANAN JAKIM DAN JAIN DALAM KES YANG MELIBATKAN PENYALAHGUNAAN LABEL HALAL PADA PRODUK MAKANAN
Authors: Ab. Halim Mustafa â€˜Afifi
Published: January 2023

Industri makanan halal  merupakan satu  pasaran yang belum sepenuhnya diterokai dan ianya mempunyai potensi yang sangat baik pada masa hadapan. Ini disokong oleh pertambahan masyarakat Islam dunia yang dianggarkan berjumlah seramai 1,599,500,000 pada tahun 2010 dan dijangka meningkat sehingga 2,761,480,000 pada tahun 2050 (Berdasarkan dapatan Pusat Kajian Pew, USA) dengan  nilai pasaran halal semasa dianggarkan mencecah USD 2.3 billion. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat beberapa isu yang dibangkitkan dalam industri makanan halal samada di peringkat domestik mahupun antarabangsa terutamanya berkaitan dengan penyalahgunaan label halal dan kesalahan-kesalahan lain yang berhubung kait dengannya. Di Malaysia, persoalan yang timbul, sama ada tindakan sewajarnya dikenakan terhadap pengeluar produk yang menyalahgunakan label halal kerana kebanyakan tindakan yang di ambil oleh pihak yang berotoriti lebih kepada tindakan pentadbiran. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk mengkaji peranan JAKIM dan JAIN dalam penyalahgunaan label halal berdasarkan kepada peruntukan-peruntukan dan manual halal seperti Standard Halal Malaysia MS1500:2009 dan Manual Halal Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) bagi melihat pelaksanaan tindakan pentadbiran oleh pihak yang mempunyai otoriti dalam pelabelan halal. Analisis dokumen digunakan untuk menghasilkan dapatan, dan hasil dapatan ini diharapkan dapat mendidik pengeluar produk agar lebih bertanggungjawab dalam mengeluarkan produk halal bagi kemaslahatan pengguna
The choice architecture and nudging in the behavioural economics
Authors: Demkura Taras , Markovych Iryna
Published: January 2023

It is substantiated in the article that behavioural economics makes it possible one to move away from the idealized perception of a person as a completely rational decision-making subject who possesses all the information about the object; is able to form a clear hierarchy of own priorities, which is determined by the balance between benefits and costs; stable in his preferences and not susceptible to emotional influences. For this, it is necessary to take into account cognitive biases, systematic errors of thinking and the possibilities of their avoidance, which is actually what behavioural economics works with. The concepts of “choice architecture”, “nudging” and “libertarian paternalism” are considered. In its most general terms, choice architecture is the design of the environment in which people make decisions. By changing the decision-making environment, you can change the decision itself. Nudging is one of the strategies of behavioural economics, aimed at the behavior of subjects exclusively by changing the environment and context, that is, pushing tools are able to emphasize economic incentives and gently guide a person to optimal decisions without depriving him/her of a choice. It is shown that the toolkit of nudging began to be actively used in state policy to strengthen the effectiveness of regulatory actions, however, it was not limited to it, but rather quickly spread to other areas – environmental protection, health, the insurance and pension system, entrepreneurship, etc. Examples of the practical application of choice architecture and nudging tools in the field of state regulation, ecological use of resources, and personal choice are given. The focus is on the fact that imposing restrictions on options for action or directly implementing regulatory instruments can achieve the desired results, however, such influence on behaviour change is prescriptive rather than liberating. Nudging tools are able to emphasize economic incentives and gently guide a person to more rational decisions. The main needs are identifies for the satisfaction of which prompting and creating of an architecture of choice are effective and appropriate, for example, stimulating self-control or increasing the level of awareness of the need to take action.
