Distance Pattern Distinguishing Coloring of Graphs
Authors: Kannankallel Sona Jose 
Published: August 2023

Given a connected (p, q)− graph G = (V, E) of diameter d, ∅M ⊆ V (G) and a nonempty set X = {0, 1, ..., d} of colors of cardinality , let fM be an assignment of subsets of X to the vertices of G such that fM(u) = {d(u, v) : v ∈ M} where, d(u, v) is the usual distance between u and v . We call fM an M− distance pattern coloring of G if no two adjacent vertices have same fM. Define f ⊕ M of an edge e ∈ E(G) as f ⊕ M(e) = fM(u) ⊕ fM(v); e = uv. A distance pattern distinguishing coloring of a graph G is an M distance pattern coloring of G such that both fM(G) and f ⊕ M(G) are injective. This paper is a study on distance pattern coloring and distance pattern distinguishing coloring of graphs.
St. Paul’s discourse and dialogue with King Agrippa and Governor Festus as a model for contemporary inter-religious understanding and communication
Authors: John Samuel James Sundar Aaron 
Published: August 2023

In a day in which there are different religious system vying for acceptance and probably even dominance, it is high time to identify a peaceful model for inter-religious understanding and communication. St. Paul had several interactions with the Jewish leaders, monarchs and government officials on religious topics and issues in between A.D. 60 to A.D 62 at Caesarea. His interaction with King Agrippa II and Governor Festus can be used as a paradigm for contemporary inter-religious understanding and communication. Even though Paul’s life was hanging on a balance as a prisoner about to be transported to Rome, he did not resort to violence, verbal abuse or rain down curses, when his religious claims were questioned. Instead, he argued as a seasoned philosopher, prayed as a pious saint and appealed as a prisoner in chains with humility for the ‘veracity and the reasonability’ of his truth claim. The article will interact with few philosophical themes that surface during this discourse and dialogue and also attempt to trace St Paul’s use of rhetoric in his discourse. The title of this article is ‘St. Paul’s discourse and dialogue with King Agrippa and Governor Festus as a model for contemporary inter-religious understanding and communication’. The primary source for this article is the book of Acts in the New Testament and the secondary source would be dictionaries and books.
Management Analysis of the Return on Equity and Invested Capital: Methodology and Information Support Based on IFRS
Authors: Nechitaylo I. 
Published: August 2023

The article examines the problems of analyzing the return on equity and invested capital based on modifications of the Dupont’s model. The following issues are reviewed as reflection of receivables and payables, financial investments and short-term loans and borrowings, assessment of financial and operational leverage, as well as asset turn-over in the analysis of profitability. The requirements for systems of indicators of profitability in the management analysis are formulated. The structural model of the return on equity, which can be used in management analysis, is built.
A particular attention is paid to the constraints of the management profitability analysis based on financial statements prepared on the basis of IFRS. The most serious constraints is the poor compatibility of IFRS with direct costing and its later modifications, in particular, with throughput accounting. The constraints related to the problems of capitalization of interest on loans and borrowings, accrual of interest on trade credit and interest on prepayments, as well as interest on assets under the contract, when rev-enue is recognized during the period, are examined in the article.

Introduction
Respiratory distress syndrome is the major cause of neonatal death. However, data on the mortality and predictors related to respiratory distress syndrome were scarce. Hence, this study aimed to assess the incidence and predictors of death among neonates admitted with respiratory distress syndrome in West Oromia Referral Hospitals, Ethiopia, 2022.

Methods
A retrospective follow-up study was conducted among 406 neonates admitted with respiratory distress syndrome at five referral hospitals from, 1 January 2019 to, 31 December 2021 in West Oromia, Ethiopia. The data were collected using a structured checklist and participants were selected using simple random sampling technique. The data were entered into Epi data version 4.6.0.2 and exported to STATA version 14 for cleaning, coding and analysis. The Kaplan–Meier curve was used to estimate survival time. The Weibull regression model was fitted to identify the predictors of mortality and variables with a P-value < 0.05 was taken as significant predictors of mortality.

Result
Four hundred six neonates with respiratory distress syndrome were included in the analysis. The overall incidence of neonatal mortality was 59.87/1000 neonates-days observations (95%CI: 51.1–70.2) with a proportion of 152 (37.44%) (95% CI: 32.7–42.2). The median time of follow-up was 11 days (95% CI: 10–23). Very low birthweight (AHR = 4.5, 95%CI: 2.0–10.9) and low birth weight (AHR = 3.1, 95%CI: 1.4–6.6), perinatal asphyxia (AHR = 2.7, 95%CI: 1.8–4), Chorioamnionitis (AHR = 2.2, 95%CI: 1.4–3.5) and multiple pregnancies (AHR = 2.2, 95%CI: 1.4–3.4) increased the hazard of death, whereas, antenatal corticosteroid administration (AHR = 0.33, 95%CI: 0.2–0.7) was negatively associated with neonatal mortality.

Conclusion and recommendation
High mortality rate of neonates with respiratory distress syndrome was observed. Chorioamnionitis, perinatal asphyxia, low birth weight and multiple pregnancies increase the, mortality hazard while administering antenatal corticosteroids decreases it. Thus, administering corticosteroids- before giving birth and special emphasis on children with Chorioaminoitis, asphyxia, low birth weight and multiple pregnancies is important for reducing neonatal mortality.

Electronic title certificate as legal evidence
Authors: Permadi Iwan , Herlindah  
Published: August 2023

This paper analyzes the increasing use of electronic title certificates in the land administration system. On 12 January 2021, the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency issued Regulation No. 1 of 2021 on Electronic Certificate. This Regulation marks a turning point in the reformation of the system of land governance and security of tenure in Indonesia. By streamlining the land registration and dispute-resolution procedures, the use of the digital land title could increase the legal certainty of the Indonesian system of land tenure. It is possible that the digital certificate might transform the present method of a negative publication system with positive elements – the present mechanism for demonstrating ownership of land rights – into a positive publication system.

Outdoor Cold Air Versus Room Temperature Exposure for Croup Symptoms: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Siebert Johan N. , Salomon Coralie , Taddeo Ilaria , Gervaix Alain , Combescure Christophe , Lacroix Laurence 
Published: August 2023

OBJECTIVES
Croup is the most common cause of acute upper airway obstruction in children. The benefits of treating croup with steroids are well established, with an onset of effect 30 minutes after administration. We investigated whether a 30-minute exposure to outdoor cold air might improve mild to moderate croup symptoms before the onset of action of steroids.

METHODS
This open-label, single-center, randomized controlled trial, enrolled children aged 3 months to 10 years with croup and a Westley Croup Score (WCS) ≥2 attending a tertiary pediatric emergency department. Participants were randomized (1:1) to either a 30-minute exposure to outdoor cold (&lt;10°C) atmospheric air or to indoor ambient room air immediately after triage and administration of a single-dose oral dexamethasone. The primary endpoint was a decrease in WCS ≥2 points from baseline at 30 minutes. Analyses were intention to treat.

RESULTS
A total of 118 participants were randomly assigned to be exposed to outdoor cold air (n = 59) or indoor room temperature (n = 59). Twenty-nine of 59 children (49.2%) in the outdoor group and 14 of 59 (23.7%) in the indoor group showed a decrease in WCS ≥2 points from baseline at 30 minutes after triage (risk difference 25.4% [95% confidence interval 7.0–43.9], P = .007). Patients with moderate croup benefited the most from the intervention at 30 minutes (risk difference 46.1% [20.6–71.5], P &lt; .001).

CONCLUSIONS
A 30-minute exposure to outdoor cold air (&lt;10°C), as an adjunct to oral dexamethasone, is beneficial for reducing the intensity of clinical symptoms in children with croup, especially when moderate.

Published: August 2023

This article examines African binarism in Ama Ata Aidoo’s play, The Dilemma of a Ghost. The concept of binarism encompasses the nostalgic predilection for the homeland yet, the preconception of home depends on the way in which colonial hegemony appears. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to shed light on the latent circumstances which project onto this play, the inherent impetus of this binarism. The focus will be on Aidoo’s conceptualization of the African diaspora and how it has affected the cultural aspects of the Africans’ ways of life. To analyze these cultural issues, the methodology of this study utilizes the concept of transculturation. In essence, the concept of transculturation emphasizes a mix of two discrepant cultures. These cultures are different from each other yet similar in their sense of belonging to the homeland. This sense of belonging forges the reconciliation of two opposite ethnic races that belong to the same culture. As such, the study highlights the African diaspora depicted in The Dilemma of a Ghost as the primal cause of this transculturation. Consequently, it explores the African diaspora that resulted from forced migration imposed upon diverse national ethnicities that chose to live together in one place - They mingle with each other in the host country, which exemplifies an utterly different cultural facet. To cope with cultural differences, they co-exist with each other by dint of transculturation.

Published: August 2023

In the current academia landscape, academics, particularly those from non-native English speaking (NNES) countries, face formidable challenges in gaining publication in reputable international journals. The dominance of English as the language of scientific dissemination, coupled with limited resources and research infrastructure, hinders NNES academics from meeting the standards of high-impact journals. This issue is particularly pronounced in Indonesia, where most scholars face the additional challenge of conducting research in Bahasa Indonesia and writing manuscripts in English. The purposes of this study were to elicit the obstacles encountered by Indonesian scholars in gaining international publication, and the extent to which the advancement of AI-based writing technologies can provide solution. The study is expected to provide valuable insights into their experiences and contributing to a better understanding of the publishing landscape in Indonesia. The study utilized the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) to capture the opinions of four Indonesian academics pursuing their doctoral degrees overseas. The findings highlight the need for user-friendly, comprehensive technology solutions, including Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based software and applications, to assist academics in English academic writing in the Indonesian context. Despite the limitations of current digital writing assistants, they are recommended as useful aids in overcoming language barriers. Access to human consultants was unanimously considered crucial. Initiatives such as advocating for multilingualism and providing language editing services, as well as the availability of online resources and support, are important steps towards addressing disparities in academic publishing. The findings of this research have the potential to inform policies and initiatives aimed at supporting and promoting Indonesian academics in their pursuit of reputable international publications.
Composite Source Model for Broadband Ground-Motion Simulations: 2021 Mw 7.4 Maduo, China, Earthquake Case Study
Authors: Song Jian , Dang Pengfei , Cui Jie 
Published: August 2023

AbstractOn 22 May 2021, at 2:40 a.m. (local time), an earthquake with a moment magnitude of 7.4 was reported to have occurred in Maduo County (34.59° N, 98.34° E), China. The focal depth was 17 km. After the earthquake, many scholars inverted the slip distribution of the Maduo earthquake based on ground-motion recordings, and the Global Positioning System and the Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar data. To verify the reliability of the fast estimation source model method adopted in this study, the hybrid slip model of the 2011 Mw 7.4 Maduo earthquake, in Qinghai Province, China, is synthetized based on the stochastic finite-fault model and the semiempirical relation between the earthquake magnitude (Mw) and source parameters. The truncated normal distribution and regional crustal structure are used to generate 30 sets of global source parameters, which describes that the deterministic characteristics of the source mainly include the size of the rupture fault, and the average slip, and the local source parameters. The local parameters include asperity and k2 model parameters. Finally, stochastic finite-fault modeling is adopted to synthetic the acceleration response spectra at four selected sites meeting different geological conditions and orientations, and the minimum residual principle is used to select the final slip model for the Maduo earthquake with the minimum residual of the average response spectra. The research results show that the width, maximum slip, and asperity body position of the source model estimated in this study are consistent with those of the inversion slip model, which verifies the reliability and applicability of this method. This work provides technical and theoretical support for rapid prediction of the source model of earthquakes with specific magnitudes.

Aim. To evaluate manifestations of systemic inflammatory response (SIR) and the effect of the colchicine therapy on SIR severity in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with extracorporeal circulation (EC).Material and methods. This study included 100 patients aged 62+6.3 years with stable IHD and multivessel coronary atherosclerosis scheduled for CABG with EC. Patients of group 1 (n=50) were administered with a single dose of colchicine (Colchicum-Dispert) 500 µg 4 hours before surgery followed by 500 µg twice a day for 10 days after surgery. Patients of group 2 (n=50) received a standard treatment, including nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs after surgery. Severity of the inflammatory response was evaluated by measuring blood cytokines.Results. In the postoperative period, patient of group 1 showed a tendency toward a lower incidence of pleurisy and heart rhythm disorders in the form of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) (p=0.18). Levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-10 (IL-10) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), were significantly increased in both groups at 6 hours after surgery (p<0.05); at the same time, in group 1, IL-10 remained increased also at 10 days after surgery (р=0.0002). No significant time-related changes in the proinflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β), were observed. At 3 days post-CABG, there were significant increases in tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloprotease 1 (TIMP-1) (р<0.0001) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) (р<0.001); at the same time, patients of group 1 had lower MMP-9 concentrations than patients of group 2 (p<0.05). At 10 days of postoperative period, these values were comparable with the background values. Increases in neopterin compared to preoperative values were found in both groups on days 3 and 10 after surgery (р <0.0001).Conclusion. CABG with EC is associated with the activation of SIR. The colchicine therapy at a dose of 500 µg 4 hours prior to surgery and 500 µg twice a day for 10 days after surgery reduces manifestations of SIR, which is clinically evident as a tendency to reduced incidence of pleurisy and arrhythmias, and does not result in the development of serious complications. The dynamics of matrix metalloproteinases indicates that the colchicine treatment is promising for decreasing the risk of CHF progression and myocardial remodeling in patients with IHD.

Published: August 2023

In this study, a novel absorbable hemostatic agent was developed using carrageenan (CRG) as a natural polymer and cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs). CRG-CeO2-0.5 and CRG-CeO2-1 composites were prepared by compositing CRG and CeO2 at a weight ratio of 200:1 and 100:1, respectively. Physio-chemical and structural properties of these compounds were studied and compared with pristine CRG. Upon incorporation of CeO2 nanoparticles into the CRG matrix, significant reductions in hydrogel degradation were observed. In addition, it was noted that CRG-CeO2 exhibited better antibacterial and hemostatic properties than CRG hydrogel without CeO2.The biocompatibility of the materials was tested using the NIH 3T3 cell line and all samples were found to be nontoxic. Particularly, CRG-CeO2-1 demonstrated superior hemostatic effects, biocompatibility, and a lower degradation rate since more CeO2 Nps were present in the CRG matrix. Therefore, CRG-CeO2-1 has the potential to be used as a hemostatic agent and wound dressing.
