Authors: DARAMOLA Abayomi S. , OLUBUSOYE Olusanya E. , AKINTANDE Olalekan Joseph 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

With the increasing integration of AI in development initiatives, ethical considerations have become paramount for ensuring equitable and sustainable outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined studies focusing on the standard practices and shortcomings of ethics in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) projects that incorporated Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Sub-Saharan Africa. The study adopts a rigorous search strategy to identify relevant literature from multiple databases, resulting in a final selection of studies. The selected studies covered various sectors, including healthcare, agriculture, education, and infrastructure development, where AI was used to enhance project efficiency and effectiveness. The findings of this review highlighted several key ethical challenges and shortcomings. Lack of transparency in AI decision-making processes, concerns related to data privacy and security, and potential biases in AI algorithms were recurrent issues. Additionally, limited community engagement and insufficient consideration of cultural contexts were identified as ethical challenges that can lead to inequitable project outcomes. This study underscores the importance of addressing ethical considerations when incorporating AI in SDG projects. Policymakers, practitioners, and researchers should work collaboratively to develop robust ethical frameworks that prioritise transparency, community engagement, and cultural sensitivity to maximise the positive impact of AI in sustainable development initiatives in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Maritime turbulence effect on the axial propagation properties of a Bessel higher-order cosh-Gaussian laser beam
Authors: Nossir N. , Dalil-Essakali L. , Belafhal A. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this study, the axial propagation properties of the Bessel higher-cosh-Gaussian (BHChG) beam in maritime atmospheric turbulence are reported. Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principal, we extracted the analytical expression of the BHChG beam spreading in the considered medium. From our derived formula, we investigated numerical simulations to determine the maritime turbulence effect on the characteristics of the BHChG beam under various parameters of the maritime turbulence and the source beam. The obtained results show that the Gaussian waist, cosh parameter, wavelength, beam waist, inner scale and the refractive-index structure parameter, have an interesting effect on the propagation properties of this beam. Additionally, under suitable conditions various particular cases of the axial intensity of the BHChG beam have been derived from the derived result. The outputs of this study have potential applications in laser designators, optical communication systems and remote sensing.
Prevalence and predictors of intimate partner violence against men in Kisumu slums, Kenya
Authors: Odemba Elizabeth , Frongillo Edward , Weiser Sheri 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Background
Men in sub-Saharan Africa experience intimate partner violence, with few reporting their cases to the legal authorities or coming out for assistance. Consequently, data on the prevalence and drivers of intimate partner violence in different parts of sub-Saharan Africa are inadequate. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of intimate partner violence against men in Kisumu slums, Kenya.
Methods
This retrospective cross-sectional study included 398 randomly selected male participants from Kisumu slums, sampled data collected from Community Health Volunteers. We used a multinomial regression analysis to assess determinants and forms of violence.
Results
A total of 398 respondents out of 438 eligible men participated in the survey. The prevalence of intimate partner violence against men was 76.1%. From the multinomial regression, men who were married or living together, compared with never married, were 2.13 times more likely to have experienced physical violence (95% CI = 0.91–4.97, p = 0.080) and 2.41 times more likely to have experienced economic violence (95% CI = 1.20–4.84, p = 0.013). Compared to never married, men who divorced or separated were 5.42 times more likely to have experienced sexual violence (95% CI = 0.97–30.37, p = 0.055). Men who had primary education or less were 2.39 times more likely to have experienced sexual violence (95% CI = 1.02–5.61, p = 0.045). Men who were Muslim, compared with Protestants, were 2.37 times more likely to have experienced psychological or emotional violence (95% CI = 0.87–6.37, p = 0.086).
Conclusions
Sexual, physical, and emotional violence is common among men in Kisumu slums, and the prevalence differs by age, marital status, education, and religion. Safe spaces should be created that will enable men of diverse socio-demographic characteristics to share their experiences of violence by intimate partners. Policies, including education to increasing awareness of this issue, should be enacted to protect men from intimate partner violence.
Kebangkitan Kristus dan Upaya Membangkitkan Manusia dari Kematian: Telaah Teologis Terhadap Transhumanisme-krionik
Authors: Rufikasari Defrita , Wijaya Yahya 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe resurrection of Christ is often associated exclusively with the context of Easter, the redemption of the sinful humans, and the hope of the future resurrection of the faithful. The resurrection from the dead is mentioned several times both in the Old and the New Testaments. Interestingly, both Christianity and transhumanism tend to deny death. In terms of Christianity, that is indicated in the theological view of the resurrection of Christ and the believers; while in that of transhumanism the denial of death is implied in thedevelopment of nanotechnology and cryogenics aiming at raising people from the dead. They both promise an incorruptible and antifragile life. But do they share the same meeting point or have a common ground? Can the resurrection of Christ be interpreted from the vision of transhumanism that opens up opportunities for humans to improve their quality of life? This writing describes the views of several thinkers about transhumanism and their relations to theology, especially concerning the issue of the resurrection. The method used is qualitative research with a descriptive model based on a literature study and a public theology approach putting into discussion the existing thoughts on transhumanism, their relationshipswith religions, and the interpretation of Christ’s resurrection as the meeting point of the redemption theology and transhumanism.
AbstrakPemaknaan kebangkitan Kristus acapkali hanya dilekatkan dalam konteks Paskah, penebusan dosa manusia dan harapan akan kebangkitan yang sama akan dialami oleh umat beriman. Peristiwa kebangkitan dari kematian sebetulnya beberapa kali muncul dalam Alkitab baik Perjanjian Lama atau Baru. Menariknya, jika dilihat sekilas, baik Kekristenan dan Transhumanisme nampak sama-sama menolak kematian. Kekristenandengan pandangan teologi kebangkitan Kristus dan orang beriman, sedangkan transhumanisme dengan pengembangan nanoteknologi dan kriogenik yang membangkitkan orang dari kematian. Keduanya nampak sama-sama menjanjikan kehidupan yang tidak fana dan rapuh. Namun benarkah keduanya memiliki titik temu yang sama? Memiliki landasan yang sama? Apakah kebangkitan Kristus nantinya akan dapat juga dimaknai dari visi transhumanisme yang membuka peluang bagi manusia meningkatkan kualitas hidupnya? Penulisan ini bertujuan untuk menguraikan pandangan-pandangan beberapa pemikir tentang transhumanisme dan kaitannya dengan teologi, khususnya kebangkitan dari mati. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan model deskriptif berdasarkan studi pustaka dan pendekatan teologi publik untuk mendialogkan pemikiran-pemikiran yang ada terkait topik transhumanisme, relasi dengan agama, dan pemaknaan kebangkitan Kristus sebagai titik temu dari karya penebusan dan transhumanisme.

Published: October 2023

Abstract

The emergency plans for water diversion projects suffer from weak knowledge correlation, inadequate timeliness, and insufficient support for intelligent decision-making. This study incorporates knowledge graph technology to enable intelligent recommendations for emergency plans in water diversion projects. By employing pre-trained language models (PTMs) with entity masking, the model's ability to recognize domain-specific entities is enhanced. By leveraging matrix-based two-dimensional transformations and feature recombination, an interactive convolutional neural network (ICNN) is constructed to enhance the processing capability of complex relationships. By integrating PTM with ICNN, a PTM–ICNN method for joint extraction of emergency entity relationships is constructed. By utilizing the Neo4j graph database to store emergency entity relationships, an emergency knowledge graph is constructed. By employing the mutual information criterion, intelligent retrieval and recommendation of emergency plans are achieved. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves high extraction accuracy (F1 score of 91.33%) and provides reliable recommendations for emergency plans. This study can significantly enhance the level of intelligent emergency management in water diversion projects, thereby mitigating the impact of unforeseen events on engineering safety.

Authors: Ukpaka Chinedu , Agunwamba Jonah Chukwuemeka 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Investigation of the water quality of rivers is a key point in Water Resources Engineering. The longitudinal dispersion coefficient is one of the foremost significant parameters in river water quality monitoring. Several parameters such as hydraulic, morphology, total dissolved solids, and total suspended solids are effective parameters in the determination of the longitudinal dispersion coefficient as revealed by this study. The assessment of the river shows mean hydraulic and geometric properties such as flow, depth, velocity, longitudinal slope, and width to be 354.17 m3/s, 9.61 m, 0.69 m/s, 0.0079,101.63 m and the range of the longitudinal dispersion coefficient as (72–104.4) m2/s. Results obtained by employing the established equations revealed standard error indices and RMSE of the developed equation, and Kashefipour and Falconer equation gives correlation coefficient of about 0.819 and 4.182 and 0.421 and 12.186, respectively, as coefficient of determination and RMSE, and they are more accurate among the empirical equations. However, the newly derived equation for the longitudinal dispersion coefficient performed better when compared with others, indicating the fitness of the developed equation to estimate longitudinal dispersion coefficient.
Evaluation energy flow and analysis of energy economy for agricultural yield production in different geographical regions of China
Authors: Li Kai 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Dry and humid climates have different potentials for providing soil moisture. Agricultural drought is a confirmed criterion for evaluating production potential in agriculture, which is discussed in this research. Therefore, this research aims to investigate drought using meteorological and agricultural drought indicator data in four climatic regions of China (humid, semi-humid, semi-arid and dry). For this purpose, climatic information was collected in the last 20 years, and the values of the standard precipitation index (SPI) and reconnaissance drought index (RDI) were determined. Examining the indicators indicates that the indicators are high in all the years under review in dry areas. In the semi-arid region, there was a significant decrease in the average value of the indices in July and August in the years 2017–2022. Drought indicators did not show a critical situation in humid and semi-humid areas, and there was sufficient moisture for plants throughout the year. The results showed that there was a high correlation between the SPI and the RDI in all the identified areas. In addition to rainfall, the RDI also includes transpiration and is more sensitive, especially in dry areas where transpiration is higher than rainfall.

Authors: Dekalo Snir , Shoffel-Havakuk Hagit , Mizrachi Aviram , Lukman Yehudit , Shpitzer Thomas , Hamzany Yaniv , Bachar Gideon 
Published: October 2023

Aim::
This study aims to assess the accuracy of computed tomography (CT) in detecting recurrent laryngeal tumors after failed chemoradiation therapy
(CRT).

Background::
Local recurrence of laryngeal tumors following CRT has been reported in approximately 25%, yet it is often difficult to detect.

Methods::
Ten patients with laryngeal cancer who failed CRT and subsequently underwent salvage total laryngectomy were included. The laryngeal subsites
involved in the tumor were identified based on postoperative pathology. The corresponding preoperative CT scans were selected for review by
seven experts (head-and-neck surgeons or radiologists) who scored the extent of tumor spread on each scan on a 5-point scale, from no tumor
detected to clearly visible tumor.

Results::
The rates of high tumor detectability (scores 4-5) varied according to laryngeal subsite, from 75% in the glottic region, to 45% in the subglottic
region, and to 19% in the supraglottic region (P=0.01). The detectability rates were higher on scans performed 2 years or more after CRT.

Conclusion::
The CT evaluation of laryngeal cancer after CRT has limited value, particularly in the epiglottis and subglottis.

TB atau tuberculosis merupakan penyakit menular disebabkan oleh bakteri Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Profil kesehatan Indonesia menyebutkan jumlah kasus tuberkulosis tahun 2021 menunjukkan peningkatan dibandingkan tahun 2020. Kepatuhan mengonsumsi obat merupakan aspek utama penanganan tuberkulosis. Beberapa kegagalan pengobatan tuberkulosis disebabkan ketidakpatuhan. Deteksi kepatuhan minum obat penting untuk membantu pengendalian tuberkulosis. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui gambaran kepatuhan penggunaan obat antituberkulosis pada pasien tuberkulosis paru sensitif obat fase intensif dan mengidentifikasi penyebab ketidakpatuhan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode cross-sectional dengan pengambilan data secara restrospektif. Identifikasi ketidakpatuhan pasien dilihat melalui dokumen Pemantauan Terapi Obat (PTO) dan TB-01 periode triwulan empat 2022 hingga triwulan I tahun 2023 di Puskesmas Pahandut Kota Palangkaraya yang melibatkan 35 pasien, sedangkan penyebab ketidakpatuhan didapatkan melalui wawancara pasien, Pengawas Menelan Obat (PMO) dan pemegang program. Pengukuran kepatuhan dilihat berdasarkan sisa obat pasien saat berkunjung. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 24 (77%) pasien patuh dan 8 (23%) pasien tidak patuh. Penyebab ketidakpatuhan dalam penelitian ini meliputi oleh faktor pasien (kurang motivasi, lupa minum obat, belum paham penjelasan dari tenaga kesehatan, pasien bingung cara minum obat), faktor akses (tidak ada kendaraan), faktor sosial (pekerjaan) serta dukungan keluarga dan kurangnya peran PMO. Peningkatan peran tenaga kesehatan di Puskesmas dan PMO diperlukan untuk dapat meningkatkan kepatuhan pasien.
