Power dalam Kekerasan Seksual
Authors: Harjoni Harjoni
Published: March 2024

Sexual violence has become a major issue in society after several cases of harassment often occur. The purpose of this study, first, is to find out the relationship between sexual violence in the theory of Michel Foucault and Johan Galtung. This study uses a qualitative method which is analyzed with a descriptive approach. The results show that Foucault describes this power relation in terms of Disciplinary Power which can be seen from the existing phenomenon that disciplines the internalization of the subjugation of lower castes into something that is considered normal, while in Galtung's view, the power relations between men and women have a tendency to maintain the status quo of men by oppressing women. Unfortunately, these actions are legitimized by elements of groups and institutions by normalizing these actions.

Feminisme dalam Al-Qur'an
Authors: Midesia Shelly , Nadilla Trie
Published: March 2024

Feminism, as a multifaceted movement and ideology, aims at achieving gender equality across various spheres including politics, economics, personal, and social realms. The persistent issues of inequality and injustice faced by women have led to the emergence of Islamic feminism as a response. This research employs a library research methodology, drawing from both classical and contemporary sources including books and articles discussing feminism and women's issues. The structural-functional approach is utilized as the theoretical framework, while an analytical descriptive method is employed for data analysis, focusing on elucidating the meaning, scope, and pertinent issues of discussion. Additionally, the comparative method is applied to examine the perspectives of various Muslim scholars. The findings reveal that Islam, predating the modern concept of feminism, addresses the rights and obligations of its adherents without discrimination, as outlined in the Qur'an. The intrinsic value of women in Islam is emphasized through virtues such as piety, chastity, and resilience in upholding beliefs. This paper contributes to the understanding of Islamic feminism and underscores the compatibility of feminist principles within an Islamic framework.
AbstrakFeminisme, sebagai sebuah gerakan dan ideologi yang memiliki banyak perspektif, bertujuan untuk mencapai kesetaraan gender di berbagai bidang, termasuk politik, ekonomi, pribadi, dan sosial. Persoalan ketidaksetaraan dan ketidakadilan yang terus menerus dihadapi oleh perempuan telah mendorong munculnya feminisme Islam sebagai respon. Penelitian ini menggunakan metodologi penelitian kepustakaan, dengan mengambil sumber-sumber klasik dan kontemporer, termasuk buku-buku dan artikel-artikel yang membahas feminisme dan isu-isu perempuan. Pendekatan struktural-fungsional digunakan sebagai kerangka teori, sementara metode deskriptif analitis digunakan untuk analisis data, dengan fokus untuk menjelaskan makna, ruang lingkup, dan isu-isu yang berkaitan dengan pembahasan. Selain itu, metode komparatif juga digunakan untuk mengkaji perspektif dari berbagai cendekiawan Muslim. Temuan penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa Islam, yang mendahului konsep feminisme modern, membahas hak dan kewajiban pemeluknya tanpa diskriminasi, seperti yang diuraikan dalam Al-Qur'an. Nilai intrinsik perempuan dalam Islam ditekankan melalui kebajikan seperti kesalehan, kesucian, dan ketangguhan dalam menegakkan keyakinan. Makalah ini memberikan kontribusi terhadap pemahaman feminisme Islam dan menggarisbawahi kesesuaian prinsip-prinsip feminis dalam kerangka kerja Islam.

Authors: Sartika Didi , Nengsi Ayu Rahma
Published: March 2024

This study aims to reveal the phenomenon of gender equality in campus academic culture, the gender ratio in higher position holders, institutional patterns that are common in academic culture and classification based on symbolic power. The research was conducted using a mixed method, data was collected by distributing questionnaires to employees, for the sake of entering the data interviews were also conducted with selected informants. The collected data is analyzed by reducing, displaying data in tables and patterns, ending with drawing conclusions. The research findings show that in general there is no difference in treatment between men and women in their respective work departments based on the average recognition of 65% of male and female employees. The gender ratio in higher positions is dominated by men at 57.6% but this occurs naturally due to selection factors based on potential, programs carried out, leadership quality of the elected candidates. Gender inequality can be seen from the social conditions in the work environment based on the symbolic power of senior juniors where junior women get pressure from senior women in the academic culture in the work environment, especially in social communication and delegation of workload.
AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap fenomena kesetaraan gender dalam budaya akademik kampus, rasio gender pada pemegang jabatan tinggi, pola-pola kelembagaan yang umum terjadi dalam budaya akademik dan klasifikasi berdasarkan kekuasaan simbolik. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode campuran, data dikumpulkan dengan menyebarkan kuesioner kepada karyawan, untuk kepentingan pemasukan data juga dilakukan wawancara dengan informan terpilih. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis dengan mereduksi, menampilkan data dalam bentuk tabel dan pola, diakhiri dengan penarikan kesimpulan. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara umum tidak ada perbedaan perlakuan antara pria dan wanita di departemen kerja masing-masing berdasarkan pengakuan rata-rata 65% karyawan pria dan wanita. Rasio gender pada jabatan yang lebih tinggi didominasi oleh laki-laki sebesar 57,6% namun hal ini terjadi secara alamiah karena faktor seleksi berdasarkan potensi, program yang dijalankan, kualitas kepemimpinan dari kandidat yang terpilih. Ketidaksetaraan gender dapat dilihat dari kondisi sosial di lingkungan kerja yang didasarkan pada kekuatan simbolik senior junior dimana perempuan junior mendapatkan tekanan dari perempuan senior dalam budaya akademik di lingkungan kerja terutama dalam komunikasi sosial dan pendelegasian beban kerja.

Authors: KEROUAT Souha
Published: March 2024

This paper explores the contribution of financial services to financial inclusion amidst digitization and Fintech growth. It proposes an inclusion index based on African and Asian countries from 2010 to 2019, examining multidimensional characteristics and determinants of financial inclusion. The analysis reveals modest progress, with only eight countries nearing a 0.6 inclusion level, while the rest fall below 0.50. Econometric regression tests highlight a positive relationship between financial inclusion, bank cards, and mobile money, suggesting that digitization of banks has bolstered inclusion. Connectivity and digital payment transactions are also found to be significant factors positively associated with inclusion. Notably, the variable representing Fintech usage stands out as the most significant contributor to financial inclusion.
INNOVATIVE SYSTEM AND CONSIDERATION OF THE MULTILINGUALISM OF ALGERIAN STUDENTS
Authors: Mouna Dr. LAHLAH
Published: March 2024

Algerian children are often bilingual or even multilingual, yet it appears that the Algerian school system has not yet developed pedagogical tools adapted to this reality. In this context, our concern revolves around the prospect of experimenting with an innovative pedagogical approach focused on language awareness. We explore how sensitizing students to language awareness activities in the Algerian school context can have a positive impact on learners' perceptions. Our research follows a primarily hypothetico-deductive approach, resembling experimental psychology methods. It relies on the analysis of a corpus composed of a semi-structured interview supported by the reflective drawing method to understand the effect of introducing language awareness activities on students' perceptions. While we cannot generalize our conclusions, the observed students demonstrated an interest in languages beyond those prompted by the language awareness approach during the experimentation. Thus, we can posit that language awareness activities triggered an awareness of what students already knew about languages and world cultures.
CREATIVITY IN USING THE MASK TECHNIQUE IN CONTEMPORARY ARABIC POETRY
Authors: Izz Aldin ATARI Dr. Sana
Published: March 2024

This research deals with the mask technique in contemporary Arabic poetry in terms of its concept, spread, characteristics, and the creativity of Arab poets in using it, to express their feelings and thoughts in a time when harsh political and social conditions prevailed, and in light of the lack of freedom of expression in the Arab world. The mask technique is a literary concept that expresses the poet's use of terms and visual images to express his feelings and thoughts in a way that makes them have multiple and different connotations. This poetic style reflects the poet's ability to express in an abstract and symbolic manner, creating deep moral layers in the poetic text. The use of the mask technique in modern Arabic poetry includes many elements, such as metaphor, simile, symbolism, and allegory. The poet relies on these elements to express his feelings and thoughts in a way that makes the reader interact with the text and search for deeper meanings in it. The mask technique is considered one of the literary techniques that distinguishes modern Arabic poetry and adds artistic and cultural value to it. This technique is used to explore different themes such as love, home, identity, freedom, daily life, and social issues. The mask technique in modern Arabic poetry represents an artistic means that allows the poet to express his thoughts and feelings in an innovative and attractive way, and enhances the strength of the poetic text and its appeal to readers

Published: March 2024

Edge-preserving smoothing is an image processing technique that smooths away textures while retaining sharp edges. Image de-noising is the technique to reduce noises from corrupted images. The aim of the image denoising is to improve the contrast of the image or perception of information in images for human viewers or to provide better output for other automated image processing techniques. Outdoor images taken in hazy climate often get degraded due to the effect of haze. There are several methods to remove haze from hazy images. Most of them over saturates the dehazed images. This degrades the quality of images. The color attenuation prior technique is one of the best algorithm to remove haze from images. Based on this technique and by making use of MATLAB software, this paper suggests a simple method to remove haze from Images. The core of DSIS lies in its fusion of depth information with traditional imaging data. By leveraging depth maps obtained from sensors such as LiDAR or structured light cameras, DSIS accurately delineates objects in the scene and their respective depths. This enables selective fog removal, prioritizing objects closer to the camera for clearer representation while preserving depth cues for improved scene understanding. Our project aims to implement and evaluate DSIS in real-world scenarios, such as outdoor surveillance and automotive vision systems. Through comprehensive testing and performance analysis, we seek to demonstrate the effectiveness of DSIS in restoring visibility under varying fog densities and lighting conditions. Additionally, we will explore optimization techniques to enhance DSIS's computational efficiency, ensuring its practical feasibility for deployment in resource-constrained environments.

Published: March 2024

In the realm of online job platforms, the rise of fraudulent job postings poses a significant challenge, undermining the credibility and reliability of these platforms. To address this issue, we propose a machine learning- based solution that leverages the power of Random Forest, Logistic Regression, and Decision Tree classifiers. Through the compilation of a comprehensive dataset containing labeled job postings, we embark on a journey of preprocessing and feature engineering to extract pertinent information from the postings, including textual attributes, geographic details, salary indications, and company profiles.
Splitting the dataset into training and testing subsets enables us to meticulously train and evaluate the performance of each classifier, utilizing established metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score to quantify their efficacy in discerning between authentic and fake job listings.
Our study goes beyond mere model training and evaluation, delving into the intricacies of imbalanced data handling and the practicalities of model deployment and maintenance. By examining the comparative strengths and weaknesses of Random Forest, Logistic Regression, and Decision Tree classifiers, we provide actionable insights for enhancing the integrity of online job platforms through advanced machine learning techniques. With our approach, we aim to not only detect and mitigate the prevalence of fake job postings but also to fortify the trust and credibility of online job- seeking platforms, thereby fostering a more secure and reliable environment for both job seekers and employers alike.
A Review on Lung Cancer with Emphasis on Current Treatment
Authors: Gayatri Deshmukh  , Dr. H. A. Sawarkar  , Dr. K. R. Biyani
Published: March 2024

Cancer is a broad term that refers to more than 277 types of cancer. It is a disease that results from a variety of causes, including mutations resulting from oncogene activation, tumor suppressor gene failure, or other factors. Mutations in these genes cause abnormal cell growth. Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer in the world. Lung cancer, also known as lung cancer, is a lung disease caused by the uncontrolled growth of cells in tissues. Risk factors include smoking , exposure to radon gas, asbestos, secondhand smoke, and pollution. The two types of lung cancer are small cell lung cancer (SCLS) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLS). Common symptoms include cough, hemoptysis, weight loss, fatigue, fever or clubbing, hypercalcemia, myasthenic syndrome (muscle fatigue), and changes. Lung cancer is classified by histological type and stage using TNM (tumor, tumour, and metastasis). Treatment depends on the type of cancer and includes surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Long-term intake of vitamin A, vitamin D, or vitamin E does not reduce the risk of lung cancer. Consuming more vegetables and fruits will reduce the risk. There is no clear link between diet and lung cancer. Most patients with advanced NSCLC who respond to surgery are treated with adjuvant chemotherapy. Histological diagnosis can be made by sputum cytology, thoracentesis, access to lymph nodes, bronchoscopy, transthoracic needle aspiration, video-assisted thoracoscopy or thoracotomy. Initial evaluation of metastatic disease is based on history and physical examination, chest examination, computed tomography, PET scan, and clear tissue of mediastinal involvement. Despite the interest in screening among scientists and doctors, there is no major organization recommending screening for early detection of lung cancer. Smoking is still an important part of primary prevention.

A Mobile Application to Assist in Reporting and Cleaning Spots of Ocean Litters using Machine Learning
Authors: Zhang Xiaoming , Xu Tiancheng
Published: March 2024

This paper addresses the critical issue of ocean pollution, a growing environmental challenge exacerbated by the accumulation of plastic waste in marine ecosystems [4]. Ocean trash not only poses a significant threat to marine life but also impacts human health through the consumption of contaminated seafood. To tackle this problem, we propose a mobile application designed to mobilize community efforts towards ocean cleanup activities [5]. The app leverages cloud databases for real-time information sharing, machine learning models for predicting ocean trash accumulation, and Google Maps for location services, facilitating efficient and targeted cleanup operations [6]. Key challenges included ensuring the reliability of user-generated reports and optimizing the app for user-friendly navigation towards cleanup spots. Solutions such as implementing user report validation mechanisms and sorting cleanup locations by proximity were integrated to enhance the app's functionality. Experimentation across various scenarios demonstrated the app's potential to significantly increase community engagement in ocean conservation efforts. The application represents a novel approach to environmental preservation, combining technology and community action. Its success in mobilizing users towards meaningful environmental impact underscores its value as a tool for global ocean conservation efforts, making it a significant asset for individuals and organizations committed to safeguarding marine ecosystems [7].

Authors: Martínez Mónica Rico , Ferreira Juan Carlos Vesga , Vargas Joel Carroll , Niño María Consuelo Rodríguez , Toro Andrés Alejandro Diaz , Carrero William Alexander Cuevas
Published: March 2024

The equitable distribution of resources in a network is a complex process, considering that not all nodes have the same requirements, and the In-Band On-Channel (IBOC) hybrid transmission system is no exception. The IBOC system utilizes a hybrid in-band transmission to simultaneously broadcast analog and digital audio over the FM band. This article proposes the use of a Max-Min Fairness (MMF) algorithm, with a strategy to optimize resource allocation for IBOC FM transmission in a multiservice scenario. Additionally, the MMF algorithm offers low computational complexity for implementation in low-cost embedded systems, aiming to achieve fair resource distribution and provide adequate Quality of Service (QoS) levels for each node in the RF network, considering channel conditions and traffic types. The article explores a scenario under saturated traffic conditions to assess the optimization capabilities of the MMF algorithm under well-defined traffic and channel conditions. The evaluation process yielded highly favorable results, indicating that theMMF algorithm can be considered a viable alternative for bandwidth optimization in digital broadcasting over IBOC on FM with 95% confidence, and it holds potential for implementation in other digital broadcasting system.

Obesity and a lack of motivation for exercising is considered a major problem in the world because they lower the quality of life for many people. Mobile fitness applications are an emerging solution to this problem because of the unique features that are provided [12]. They are seen as a vital tool to motivate people suffering from obesity. Our solution uses a mobile application and machine learning to detect, track the movements of users in a video and give an analysis of the exercise. It is made up of three essential components: the mobile application which acts as a frontend, the online storage, and the server which hosts our AI model. The program was limited by the accuracy and effectiveness of the AI model. We aim to test the accuracy of the AI model by providing it with five videos with different amounts of repetitions for each of the sample exercises of pushup, pullup, squat, and plank for the experiment, which uses the calculation of the percent error [13]. We resulted in mostly excellent results with few inaccuracies, shown through the average percent error being 2.09%.

La atrofia muscular espinal (AME) de presentación temprana representa la variante más severa, con una expectativa de vida generalmente no mayor a dos años sin soporte ventilatorio, debido a la insuficiencia respiratoria y la dificultad para toser. Tradicionalmente, el manejo respiratorio en muchos países ha incluido la traqueostomía para proporcionar asistencia ventilatoria invasiva de manera continua. No obstante, la introducción de medicamentos de precisión ha modificado la progresión natural de la enfermedad, evidenciando mejoras significativas en los hitos motores y beneficiando también la función respiratoria. A pesar de estas mejoras, en muchos casos sigue siendo necesaria la ventilación intermitente y/o continua, además de la facilitación de la tos. Estas necesidades pueden abordarse de forma no invasiva mediante el soporte ventilatorio no invasivo (SVN), la in-exsuflación mecánica (IEM) y el reclutamiento de volumen pulmonar (RVP), que son considerados pilares del tratamiento respiratorio en enfermedades neuromusculares. Estas estrategias promueven el desarrollo y mantenimiento de la función respiratoria, reduciendo el riesgo de exacerbaciones respiratorias que podrían llevar a intubaciones evitables. Comúnmente, los pacientes con AME experimentan intentos fallidos de extubación siguiendo protocolos tradicionales, siendo catalogados como no extubables y potenciales candidatos a traqueostomía. No obstante, existen protocolos de extubación específicos para AME que emplean SVN e IEM con un alto porcentaje de éxito, evitando traqueostomías innecesarias que pueden complicar la progresión de la enfermedad y afectar la calidad de vida. El enfoque respiratorio no invasivo es una opción de manejo segura tanto en el hospital como en el hogar, ofreciendo una mejor calidad de vida para los pacientes y sus familias.
Presentación de 11 pacientes con el diagnóstico de agenesia e hipoplasia pulmonar diagnosticados en un periodo de 24 años y revisión de la literatura
Authors: Maggiolo Massone Julio , Rubilar Olivares Lilian , Poblete Campos Sylvia
Published: March 2024

La agenesia pulmonar (AgP), la aplasia pulmonar (AP) e hipoplasia pulmonar (HP) son malformaciones congénitas poco comunes. En la AgP, no se desarrollan el bronquio ni el pulmón; en la AP, hay un bronquio rudimentario sin parénquima pulmonar; y en la HP, uno o ambos pulmones presentan un tamaño reducido debido a trastornos en su crecimiento. Las causas de la AgP, AP y HP pueden ser tanto primarias como secundarias, predominando estas últimas. Entre ellas se incluyen: oligohidroamnios, anomalías esqueléticas, enfermedades neuromusculares, hernia diafragmática, malformaciones vasculares, cardiopatías complejas, genopatías y cromosomopatías. El rango de manifestaciones varía desde pacientes asintomáticos hasta aquellos con dificultad respiratoria neonatal de leve a severa. Con el tiempo, algunos pacientes pueden experimentar neumonías recurrentes y progresar hacia una enfermedad pulmonar crónica (EPC). La imagenología juega un papel crucial en el diagnóstico. El pronóstico está fuertemente influenciado por la presencia de otras malformaciones congénitas. Generalmente, el enfoque terapéutico es conservador. Este artículo detalla la presentación clínica y la evolución a lo largo de 24 años de 11 pacientes diagnosticados con AgP o HP.
