Abstract
Pesticides play an important role in eradicating pests and insects in the agricultural sector in order to obtain good agricultural results. However, pesticides applied to agricultural products will leave residues that are dangerous if consumed. Therefore, this determination was carried out with the aim of analyzing the levels of pesticides such as azoxystrobin, carbaryl, and difenoconazole in soybeans and wheat in accordance with normal exposure value limits. Testing for pesticide levels was carried out using the QuEChERS EN 15662:2018 method using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC MS/MS). Testing pesticide residue levels in soybeans and wheat obtained results that still met the requirements of PERMENTAN Number 53 of 2018.

INCREASING FISCAL AND ECONOMIC RESILIENCE POST PANDEMIC: EVIDENCE FROM SOUTH ASIAN COUNTRIES
Authors: Ahmad Jamil , Alam Dastgir
Published: May 2024

The South Asia region faced extremely difficult economic challenges from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Almost two billion people living in South Asia were affected by the pandemic. The unprecedented shock in South Asia disturbed the pace and pattern of development and increased the vulnerabilities of the region. The region faced the problems of inequality, high inflation, rising fiscal deficit, disrupted growth, and environmental challenges further increasing the region’s vulnerabilities. Traditional macroeconomic policies are not enough to cope with this problem. In the face of these shocks, South Asian countries need to build robust fiscal and monetary policies and efficient use of remaining resources to build a more resilient economy for the protection of the population. Economic resilience might be effective to overcome such external shocks and support the recovery of all countries especially South Asian countries. Post-pandemic action in South Asian countries thus has become moreimportant, especially with restrained scope of fiscal and monetary stimulus. This examines the impact of COVID-19 on South Asian countries. The paper addresses the economic challenges faced by South Asian Countries in the pre- and post-pandemic period. It also briefly discusses the fiscal stimulus packages released by the South Asian countries to build stronger economies.

Published: May 2024

Background: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impaired the quality of life (QoL) for many due to its extensive impacts. However, few studies have addressed the specific impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of adolescents, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study considered the impact of COVID-19-related PTSD on the QoL of adolescents in China, the mediating effects of insomnia, and the moderating effects of resilience.
Methods: Participants included 50,666 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years selected using a comprehensive sampling method. We performed data collection from January 8th to January 18th, 2023, using the Children’s Revised Impact of Event Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Ten-item Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale, and Screening for and Promotion of Health-related QoL in Children and Adolescents Questionnaire for data collection.
Results: Male adolescents exhibited significantly lower levels of PTSD and insomnia compared to females and scored significantly higher in psychological resilience and overall QoL. Insomnia played a mediating role between PTSD and QoL. Psychological resilience moderated the impact of COVID-19-related stress on adolescents’ QoL through its influence on insomnia.
Conclusions: PTSD resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic affects the QoL of adolescents through the presence of insomnia. Psychological resilience plays a moderating role in this process. Cultivating psychological resilience in adolescents can effectively enhance their ability to cope with the impacts of sudden public events.

Composite films made from blends ofPolyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and Lignosulfonate (LS) were prepared using the casting technique in this study.The aim was to investigate the impact of LS concentrations at (0, 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 wt. %) on the optical, thermal, and structural properties of PVA.The composite films were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-VIS spectroscopy. Results showed that adding LS led to a more compact structural arrangement, increasing the refractive index and amorphous phase due to the composites disorder, which reduced the optical energy gap. The Absorbance of the PVA/LS composite film increased as LS concentration increased, indicating a strong intermolecular interaction between LS and PVA. This interaction suggested a strong hydrogen bond formation between the hydroxy group in PVA chains and the outer site groups of LS. These findings suggest that LS can effectively modulate the optical properties of PVA, making it useful in various fields such as optics and photonics.

This research aims to examine the role of the community in strengthening community involvement in efforts to prevent and overcome criminal acts of corruption through social media to ensure community welfare. Corruption is a serious problem that can harm society at large, both economically and socially. In this context, the role of the community in eradicating corruption has been regulated in Articles 41 and 42 of law number 31 of 1999 in conjunction with law number 20 of 2001 concerning the eradication of criminal acts of corruption. One way the community can play a role in tackling criminal acts of corruption is by monitoring and reporting via social media. Social media has become an important tool in facilitating community participation, strengthening public oversight, and supporting transparency in law enforcement for corruption crimes. The research will also examine how the use of social media can be optimized to facilitate the public in monitoring and reporting criminal acts of corruption and the obstacles to the use of social media by the public in tackling criminal acts of corruption. So, the problem that will be discussed in this research is how to optimize the role of society through social media in tackling criminal acts of corruption to ensure the welfare of society today.

Introduction: The geometric analysis is of important value for exploring the functional adaptation of the human teeth. The mandibular first premolar is one of the permanent teeth that has unique geometric features to properly perform its functions. Purpose: To assess the geometric features of the mandibular first premolar functional and the stress analysis of the static occlusal forces using finite element method. Materials & Methods: Ten human extracted mandibular first premolars were photographed from different aspects to analyze the geometric morphology of the premolars. Dimensional measurements were done by Image J software. Cone beam computerized tomographies were taken to the teeth to construct three-dimensional models for finite element analysis of 150 newtons axial load on buccal cusp tip and distal marginal ridge of each tooth. Results: The descriptive and numerical geometric analysis of the images revealed increased lingual inclination and prominence of the buccal cusps in comparison to the lingual cuspsallowing the proper esthetic and masticatory functions. The finite element analysis revealed that there is harmonious stress distribution with relatively high stress concentration in the dentin of the cervical regions of the crowns and roots. The tooth morphology affects the stress distribution. Conclusion: The mandibular first premolar geometric characteristics are critical toits functional performance. The lingual inclination and the cuspal interrelations are of great importance in the geometric pattern of the mandibular first premolars. The stress distribution is homogeneous in the tooth and supporting tissues with a relative increase in the cervical region.

Published: May 2024

The article presents an analysis of the digital transformation process in Iraq. The relevance of the article is reduced to the current need to understand the directions and features of the digitalization of the Iraqi economy in order to comply with global trends and the possibility of increasing financial and economic stability. The global digitalization requires from each country certain efforts to introduce digital technologies into the national economy for the possibility of sustainable development in the long term. Iraq is no exception in this matter and, as shown in the article, based on strategies for digital development, technology transfer and other forms of digitalization stimulation, it is actively moving forward within the framework of this global trend. To analyze the situation with digitalization in Iraq and determine trends in its development, the author uses descriptive and comparative research methods using analytical and statistical tools (graphical method). The data for the study were obtained from national and international sources, as well as from secondary sources. The study period includes 2000–2022. As a result of the research, the author concludes that Iraq could improve the conditions for digitalization in cooperation with foreign countries, both regional and non-regional

Authors: Sycheva K. G.
Published: May 2024

Under the conditions of sanctions confrontation transformation of trade and economic relations in the world arena is inevitable. This article analyzes the process of Russian formation of strategic trade cooperation within the global economic system in the context of the evolution of the geography of international trade in 2022–2023. The methodology is based on comparative and statistical approaches. The study shows the growing importance of strategic partnership with China, India and Turkey against the background of the slowdown in trade relations between Russia and the European Union after February 2022. The author's opinion is that the concentration of major commodity flows in a rather narrow group of states has several negative consequences. As the analysis has shown, there is a need to rethink the strategy of Russia's international economic cooperation in the direction of diversification of its economic ties. The purpose of the study is to develop recommendations to support domestic non-resource nonenergy exports (NRE) as a source of sustainable development of trade relations in the direction of friendly countries in the new economic reality. The article identified the most important partner countries for Russian non-resource non-energy exports (China, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Belarus, Uzbekistan and Egypt), which at the same time have the highest indicator of unrealized export potential. Based on the results of the research, it was developed recommendations how to expand the geography of Russian non-resource non-energy exports in the direction of identified strategic partners in the conditions of the sanctions.
STATE AND PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISLAMIC FINANCE INSTRUMENTS (SUKUK) IN RUSSIA AND ABROAD
Authors: Khadiullina G. N.
Published: May 2024

The search for new sources of financing investment projects in modern Russia in the context of external sanctions and the implementation of geopolitical threats actualizes the problem of incorporating Islamic finance instruments into the structure of the financial market. The early twentieth century development experience of a number of foreign countries shows the steady growth of the assets of Islamic banks, investment funds and the volume of issuance of investment certificates (sukuk), which constitute the main segments of Islamic finance in the world. Islamic financial assets are widely represented in the Gulf countries, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and South Asia, and Africa. The implementation of the principles of Islamic finance in the Russian Federation is hampered by legal, cultural, historical and political factors. While there are certain Islamic financial products in Russia, there is no issue of sukuk at all. In this regard, the purpose of this paper is to study the principles of Islamic finance and the functioning mechanism of the market for the investment certificates (sukuk), possibilities and limitations of their implementation in the modern Russian economy. The author defines sukuk as an Islamic financial instrument used for securitization of assets, and identifies its differences from traditional bonds. Alternative approaches to solving the problem of compliance of sukuk with Sharia principles are analyzed. The prerequisites for realizing the potential of sukuk in modern Russia are determined and the obstacles to their issuance are formulated. It is concluded that the adoption of the Federal Law of 04.08.2023 N 417-FZ "On Conducting an Experiment to Establish Special Regulation in Order to Create the Necessary Conditions for Carrying out Partnership Financing Activities in Certain Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation and on Introducing Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation" and its implementation, taking into account its provisions of pilot projects in a number of Russian regions, will make it possible to intensify the process of incorporation of project financing instruments into the structure of the financial markets of modern Russia.
Contextualized translation
Authors: Abrighach Rajae
Published: May 2024

This article aims to shed light upon the difficulty that arises when translating culture-specific proverbial utterances from a source language (SL) to a target language (TL). For this particular purpose, we select a number of both quasi-universal and culture-specific Moroccan Arabic proverbs (MAPs) to investigate their translatability into English. The study unfolds that the extent to which MAPs are successfully translated into English is closely related to their cultural load. Whereas the translator can accurately replace quasi-universal MAPs with their English equivalents, the translation of culture-specific MAP’s is rather problematic.  The process of this translation is obstructed mainly because these MAPs are carriers of cultural values, beliefs, and ideas that are not common or have no equivalents in English cultural background. To overcome this obstacle, we suggest a translation strategy that can be used to appropriately translate culture-specific MAPs into English.  We argue that this strategy enables the TL recipients (TLRs) to derive the right interpretation of the source proverb (SP) even when it bears no relevance in their culture.

Published: May 2024

Aim: The purpose of this study is to identify the risks faced by decision-makers in the management of Family Health Center (FHC) and to propose strategies according to their relative importance.
Materials and Methods: Eight different risks were identified as a result of the literature review. In order to evaluate the identified risks, four different physicians with at least ten years of managerial experience in FHCs and two health managers with at least ten years of experience in their field were included in the study. SWARA (Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis) method was used to evaluate and analyze the opinions. SWARA method is a weight calculation method based on expert opinions developed for the finalization of decision problems.
Results: According to the results of the analysis, experts ranked financial risks (%27), clinical and patient safety risks (%21), and operational risks (%15) as the most important risks, respectively. Hazard risks (%4) were assessed as the least risky in relative terms. For FHCs to carry out their activities effectively, financial risks should be minimized first.
Conclusions: Additional measures should be taken by the public for the use and rental of FHCs. Diversification of other sources of income can be ensured by expanding the health services provided beyond the resource transfer linked to the public budget. Regional investment and incentives can be developed by municipalities. Strengthening data protection policies to assess the compliance of medical practices with legal standards and to ensure the security of personal patient data can also reduce legal risks. In FHCs, general safety issues, especially patient safety, are also priority issues that should be investigated and legislation should be developed. In addition, management courses/training can be added to the family medicine specialty curriculum to improve the managerial skills of physicians.
TRANSFORMAÇÃO PARADIGMÁTICA DA CORTE IDH QUANTO AOS DESCA
Authors: Maas Rosana Helena , Müller Letícia Joana
Published: May 2024

A decisão proferida pela Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos no caso Lagos del Campo versus Perú, em 2017, reconheceu a justiciabilidade direta dos direitos sociais e, por conseguinte, a violação ao artigo 26 da Convenção Americana de Direitos Humanos, alterando de forma paradigmática a jurisprudência do Tribunal Interamericano acerca do tema. Nessa conjectura, este artigo propõe-se a investigar como ocorreu a mudança de paradigma na abordagem dos direitos sociais pela Corte Interamericana e em que medida essa transformação pode ser atribuída à atuação de um juiz específico. Para isso, utiliza-se o método de abordagem dedutivo e o método de procedimento analítico, estudando-se, primeiramente, os fundamentos legislativos e históricos da justiciabilidade dos direitos sociais no Tribunal Interamericano e verificando-se os precedentes jurisprudenciais sobre o tema, para, posteriormente, dar resposta ao problema. Conclui-se que a mudança de paradigma na abordagem dos direitos sociais na Corte Interamericana ocorreu por meio de uma evolução jurisprudencial gradual, frente aos inúmeros casos analisados pelo Tribunal Interamericano sobre a temática. E, essa alteração foi liderada, especialmente, pelo juiz Eduardo Ferrer Mac-Gregor Poisot, diante da posição defendida por ele desde o caso Suárez Peralta versus Ecuador, datado de 21 de maio de 2013.
UTILIDADE DO ARGUMENTO DAS CAPACIDADES INSTITUCIONAIS
Authors: Angelo Ribeiro Leal Fernando
Published: May 2024

Este trabalho enfrenta o seguinte problema de pesquisa: tendo em vista as diversas críticas estruturais e de recepção desenvolvidas contra o argumento das capacidades institucionais, sobretudo na versão articulada por Cass Sunstein e Adrian Vermeule, que se constrói dentro de um arcabouço teórico que conjuga a necessidade de realização de análises comparadas e considerações consequencialistas de segunda-ordem empiricamente informadas, qual pode ser a utilidade efetiva do argumento, se essas objeções podem ser levadas a sério? Como resposta, defende-se que, apesar das críticas de observância e de carência informacional, o argumento das capacidades institucionais pode garantir oportunidades de aprendizado institucional de longo prazo e funcionar como mecanismo de distribuição de ônus de prova para a sustentação do comportamento desejável de uma determinada instituição em um certo arranjo institucional. Nesse sentido, a abordagem de Sunstein e Vermeule sobre capacidades institucionais e efeitos dinâmicos se torna decisivamente útil para fundamentar modelos de deferência judicial em processos de controle de escolhas legislativas e administrativas, especialmente regulatórias marcadas por consistente suporte técnico em cenários de incerteza.

O trabalho tem natureza qualitativa e se baseia em dados secundários, coletados por meio de pesquisa documental. Examinou-se processos ajuizados entre 2017 e 2023 segundo características relacionadas ao autor do processo, à representação jurídica, à prestação pretendida, aos entes federativos demandados, ao valor atribuído à causa e ao percentual de sucesso das pretensões. Os resultados demonstraram que há predominância de litigantes mulheres, idosos e residentes em áreas urbanas periféricas. A ampla maioria é representada pela Defensoria Pública, indicando tratar-se de público sujeito a vulnerabilidades. Os medicamentos foram o objeto mais pleiteado, principalmente aqueles não padronizados no SUS. Os municípios em conjunto com o Estado de Minas Gerais foram os alvos mais frequentes. Concluiu-se que as políticas públicas de saúde carecem de aprimoramento e há necessidade de intensificação do diálogo entre o Executivo e o Judiciário para abordagem adequada da judicialização da saúde.
REDEFINING INTERPRETERS’ AND TRANSLATORS’ ROLES
Authors: Hohl Zuercher Franziska , Capus Nadja
Published: May 2024

In multilingual societies, translation and interpreting play pivotal roles in facilitating access to essential services provided by public institutions for individuals speaking languages other than the official language. However, prevailing assumptions among professionals in these institutions often regard translation as a mechanical process, overlooking the inherent interpretive nature of interlingual transfer. This study examines the interventions of intercept interpreters/translators (IITs) in the translation process within the criminal justice system, focusing on covert communication surveillance. An analysis of 538 translated intercept records (TIRs) reveals that IITs significantly intervene in selecting and interpreting content, often decrypting vague or encoded terms used in intercepted conversations. These interventions, which include annotations and comments, shape the evidentiary value and comprehensibility of TIRs. The findings highlight the complex nature of communication surveillance and underscore the need to reconsider the roles of translators and interpreters. This study contributes to our overall understanding about the ambiguous roles interpreters and translators may play in public institutions. As for IITs, the study suggests a re-evaluation of their roles that recognizes their specialized skills and multiple tasks.

Dermoscopy Differential Diagnosis Explorer (D3X) Ontology to Aggregate and Link Dermoscopic Patterns to Differential Diagnoses: Development and Usability Study
Authors: Lin Rebecca Z , Amith Muhammad Tuan , Wang Cynthia X , Strickley John , Tao Cui
Published: May 2024

Background

Dermoscopy is a growing field that uses microscopy to allow dermatologists and primary care physicians to identify skin lesions. For a given skin lesion, a wide variety of differential diagnoses exist, which may be challenging for inexperienced users to name and understand.

Objective

In this study, we describe the creation of the dermoscopy differential diagnosis explorer (D3X), an ontology linking dermoscopic patterns to differential diagnoses.

Methods

Existing ontologies that were incorporated into D3X include the elements of visuals ontology and dermoscopy elements of visuals ontology, which connect visual features to dermoscopic patterns. A list of differential diagnoses for each pattern was generated from the literature and in consultation with domain experts. Open-source images were incorporated from DermNet, Dermoscopedia, and open-access research papers.

Results

D3X was encoded in the OWL 2 web ontology language and includes 3041 logical axioms, 1519 classes, 103 object properties, and 20 data properties. We compared D3X with publicly available ontologies in the dermatology domain using a semiotic theory–driven metric to measure the innate qualities of D3X with others. The results indicate that D3X is adequately comparable with other ontologies of the dermatology domain.

Conclusions

The D3X ontology is a resource that can link and integrate dermoscopic differential diagnoses and supplementary information with existing ontology-based resources. Future directions include developing a web application based on D3X for dermoscopy education and clinical practice.

Authors: Zhang Zhenyan
Published: May 2024

Based on the economic perspective of data analysis, this paper deeply discusses the impact of blockchain technology on the financial market and its future trend. By using econometrics, we systematically analyze how blockchain technology can change the operation mechanism of financial markets, improve transaction efficiency, reduce transaction costs, and enhance the security and transparency of financial markets. The study has found that the decentralized nature of blockchain technology can help to break down the barriers of the traditional financial market and promote the popularization and inclusiveness of financial services. At the same time, the automatic execution function of smart contracts simplifies the process of financial transactions and reduces the risk of human intervention and fraud. In addition, the blockchain technology has also enhanced the trust mechanism of the financial markets by improving the security and traceability of the data. In terms of econometric analysis, we use a large amount of financial data to empirically test the impact of blockchain technology on the performance of the financial market by building regression models, time series analysis and other methods. The results show that there is a significant positive correlation between the application of blockchain technology and financial market efficiency, liquidity and stability. Looking into the future, with the continuous innovation and improvement of blockchain technology, its application in the financial market will be more extensive and deeper. On the one hand, blockchain technology is expected to promote the further digitalization and intelligence of the financial market, and improve the convenience and personalization of financial services. On the other hand, blockchain technology will also promote the cross-border integration and innovation of the financial market, and inject new vitality into the global economic development.

Through a review of relevant literature and theoretical research, the article outlines the definition of "slow employment", i.e., the state in which some graduates, after completing their studies, choose to further their studies, internships, travels or other non-employment activities, or fail to find a suitable job for a long period of time.It is found that the phenomenon of "slow employment" is the result of multiple factors, such as the popularization of higher education, changes in the job market and personal values. The article constructs a research model, and through questionnaire survey and data analysis, explores the influence of individual perceived behavioral control, prior and posterior social capital, and educational environment on the willingness of "slow employment". The results show that factors such as personal behavioral control, family background, educational experience and social network affect graduates' employment choice and speed to different degrees.Eventually, the article puts forward a series of targeted solution strategies, including strengthening the employment guidance services of colleges and universities, optimizing the educational environment, and enhancing the individual's career planning ability, aiming to provide support for the smooth employment of college graduates, and at the same time, provide a scientific basis for the government and colleges and universities to formulate the employment policy, in order to promote the stable development of the social economy.

Abstract: Providing good and best solutions to everyday problems varies day by day with the evolving technologies. The solution pertaining to the problemsassociated with the exhaust gases from the automobile or other such equipment‘s revolves around only on the ways of reducing the pollution. Many designs and developments are also made in terms of alternative energies at low cost. One such ideology is to recover and reuse the energy that is exhibited out in the form of liquid or heat. Waste heat recovery will be a new energy source. Thermal fluid flow heat recovery system fromAutomobile radiator with internal and external tubes is one such option While most of the state of art papers considers only the waste heat as energy source, this thesis discusses the usage of phase changing materials in the external fluid flow tubes in heating and cooling paths. Both the static and dynamic nature of the energy is used in the work.

Published: May 2024

Abstract: This study explores the complex relationship between perceived parenting styles, aggressiveness, and happiness, with a particular emphasis on how these relationships affect young adults' emotional and psychological health. The home environment, which is frequently regarded as a testing ground for emotional growth, is investigated as a major factor in determining how young people view parents. Happy people experience emotional stability,positive behavioural modelling, and open communication—all of which are essential for a child's healthy development. Happiness is a key motivator for these significant outcomes. On the other hand, family violence has long-term consequences that affect not just the victim's immediate emotional reaction, but also their behaviour patterns and interpersonal relationships. This study sheds light on the complex relationships between these emotionaldynamics, as well as their long-term impact on young people' psychological development. The study's findings pave the way for targeted treatments, support networks, and legislativerecommendations aimed at promoting emotionally supportive family environments
