An Integrated Framework for the Performance Evaluation of Fruits and Vegetable Store Located in a Supermarket
Authors: Jana Susovan , Sarkar Bijan , Parekh Ranjan 
Published: January 2022

The quality of fruits and vegetable stores should be maintained with high priority for customer satisfaction. The performance evaluation of fruits and vegetable store located in a supermarket is a big challenge for the managerial personnel of the supermarket. In this paper, a new performance evaluation framework is proposed for the fruits and vegetable store located in a supermarket. The criteria for performance evaluation have been found out in a hierarchical structure through a brainstorming session among the experts. The 4 top-level criteria are storage, processing, sales and transport. These 4 top-level criteria are broken into 9 lower-level criteria. Fuzzy AHP is used to calculate the weights of criteria for each level of the hierarchy. Fuzzy TOPSIS generally ranks the alternatives. An improved fuzzy TOPSIS, which is named fuzzy k-TOPSIS, is proposed here to find out the rank as well as classification of the stores of fruits and vegetables. The proposed framework is demonstrated here with a case study for a better understanding of the complete framework.
HIGHLIGHTS

The proposed framework integrates Fuzzy Set Theory, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), and k-means clustering for the performance evaluation of fruits and vegetable store located in a supermarket
The main contribution of this paper is that the proposed framework not only ranks the alternative fruits and vegetable stores but also does a classification among the alternative fruits and vegetable stores based on their performance
The proposed framework is demonstrated here with an illustrative example, which includes 24 stores of fruits and vegetables, 9 criteria, and the expert’s committee of 3 members
The proposed framework can also be used in other Multi-criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problems

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Public Key Cryptosystem Based on Singular Matrix
Authors: Maxrizal Maxrizal 
Published: January 2022

The algorithms such as RSA, ElGamal and ECC work on integers. Commutative operations on integer multiplication leave these algorithms vulnerable to attack by eavesdroppers. For this reason, experts develop the concept of non-commutative algebra in the public key cryptosystem by adding non-commutative properties to groups, semirings, semiring division, matrices and matrix decomposition. However, the key generating process in some public key cryptosystems is quite complicated to carry out. Therefore, in previous research, Liu used nonsingular matrices to form a simpler public key cryptosystem. However, eavesdroppers use the inverse of nonsingular matrices to construct the private key. As a result, this public key cryptosystem is still vulnerable to attacks. Therefore, we use a singular matrix to modify and build the proposed public key cryptosystem in this study. This study indicates that the singular matrix can be used to modify the public key cryptosystem. The results also show that the key generating algorithm only uses ordinary matrix multiplication (without using matrix power operations), so it is not too complicated. Furthermore, the proposed public key cryptosystem works on a matrix over integers so that the possible brute force attack trials are endless. The proposed public key cryptosystem also cannot be attacked by matrix inversion because it uses a singular matrix.

Crania Canaria 2.0: construyendo una colección virtual de cráneos
Authors: Serrano-Ramos Alexia 
Published: January 2022

El Museo Canario stores a large collection of aboriginal skulls that have been essential to the study of the origin and chronology of the population of the Canary archipelago since the 19th century. Regrettably, research has been dominated by biased and racial interpretations of both bioarchaeological and cultural evidence. When scientific racism and craniometric studies were rejected, studies of the Canarian indigenous skulls variability was also abandoned without replies. However, digital technologies and virtual sciences allow us to improve research and re-evaluate old paradigms. In this work, we present a digitalisation project aiming to construct a virtual database of the indigenous Canarian skulls, using a simple method of digitalisation that is very suitable to deal with large collections- The procedure, involving a portable 3D structured light scanner has allowed us to digitally reproduce more than 400 skulls stored at Museo Canario. This work offers a wide variety of possibilities for archaeology and anthropology. The versatility of 3D digital models enables the generation of interactive documentation, educational material for digital conservation and dissemination purposes. Indeed, 3D models are easily shared and can be displayed over diverse web-based repositories and online platforms and so, creating virtual online museums. We have created a profile in Sketchfab (https://sketchfab.com/craniacanaria2.0) where we intend to upload gradually the complete virtual collection of skulls we have realised. Moreover, digital skulls can serve as research objects. We discuss the advantages of studying 3D objects in a computerised environment, which includes traditional anthropometric studies (linear measurements and angles) but also 3D geometric morphometric approaches. In fact, in future studies, we will apply 3D geometric morphometrics for reassessing skull variation of ancient Canarians going beyond old paradigms and taking into account the latest advances in archaeology, anthropology and genetics in Canarian research. Highlights:- El Museo Canario stores an exceptional human skull collection that has served as the basis for numerous studies seeking to reveal the origin and chronology of the indigenous population.- This study presents an easy methodology for obtaining digital imagery using a 3D surface scanner, which allows constructing a virtual skull collection comprising more than 400 individuals.- Virtual 3D models have numerous advantages and applications in anthropology and archaeology, not only improving research but also permitting the re-evaluation of old paradigms.

Seven Samurai
Authors: Mellen Joan 
Published: January 2022

In Seven Samurai (1954) a whole society is on the verge of irrevocable change. Akira Kurosawa’s celebrated film, regarded by many to be the major achievement of Japanese cinema, is an epic that evokes the cultural upheaval brought on by the collapse of Japanese militarism in the 16th century, but at the same time echoes also the sweeping cultural changes occurring in the aftermath of the American Occupation that followed Japan's defeat in the Second World War.
The plot is deceptively simple. A village of farmers is beleaguered by a horde of bandits. In desperation, the farmers decide to hire itinerant samurai to protect their crops and people and defeat the bandits. There had never been a Japanese film in which peasants hired samurai, or an evocation of the social transformation that made such an idea credible.
There are six samurai and one who is accepted as such. Together they reflect the ideals and values of a noble class near the point of extinction. Seven Samurai may be the greatest action film, a technical masterpiece unmatched in its depiction of movement and violence, but running beneath the sound and fury is a lament for a lost nobility, ‘a dirge for the spirit of Japan,’ writes Joan Mellen, ‘which will never again be so strong.’
Mellen's study contextualises Seven Samurai, marking its place in Japanese cinema and in Kurosawa's film-making career. She explores the film's roots in medieval history and, above all, the astonishing visual language in which Kurosawa created his elegiac epic.

IntroductionGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic disease that endangers pregnant women and their offspring. Insights into biomarkers and GDM pathogenesis are crucial. Ectopic expression of microRNA-17-5p was found in GDM, but its the diagnostic value and role of miR-17-5p remain unclear.Material and methodsDetection of miRNA microarray and quantitative PCR (qPCR) found that miR-17-5p was significantly increased and positively associated with biochemical indicators of GDM in 30 GDM plasma samples and 28 matched control plasma samples.ResultsThe area under the ROC curve was 0.827 (P < 0.01), which showed good diagnostic potential. Mitochondrial staining showed that compared with controls, trophoblasts exhibited more mitochondrial fusion and endothelial cells exhibited more mitochondrial fission in GDM than these in controls. Western blot and qPCR assays further revealed that expression of the mitofusin Mfn1/Mfn2 was lower in primary endothelial cells from GDM patients, whereas their expression was significantly higher in primary trophoblasts from GDM patients compared with those from controls. Conversely, miR-17-5p expression was higher in primary endothelial cells from GDM patients, whereas their expression was significantly lower in primary trophoblasts from GDM patients compared with those from controls. Bioinformatics and luciferase reporter assays confirmed that both Mfn1 and Mfn2 are targets of miR-17-5p. Last, decreased Mfn1/2 was observed not only to increase the apoptotic rate of primary endothelial cells from GDM, but also to reverse anti-apoptotic effects of miR-17-5p inhibitor.ConclusionsMiR-17-5p regulates Mfn1/Mfn2-mediated mitochondrial dynamics involved in GDM. MiR-17-5p may serve as a promising biomarker and therapeutic target for GDM.
COP26 and Health: Some Progress, But Too Slow and Not Enough
Authors: Laybourn-Langton Laurie , Smith Richard 
Published: January 2022

The editorial on climate change and biodiversity published in over 220 health journals in September had two main demands: keep global temperature increases below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels to avoid catastrophic damage to health; and accept that this can be achieved only by rich countries making bigger cuts in greenhouse gas emissions and transferring substantial resources to the countries’ most vulnerable the effects of climate change.1 Neither demand was fully met at COP26 in Glasgow. The editorial was also aiming to make the voice of the health community more prominent in global discussions on climate change and environmental destruction. Some progress was made with this aim, but again not enough.

Although the mantra of COP26 was “keep 1.5°C alive,” the pledges made by countries to reduce emissions are insufficient to keep the temperature rise to below 1.5°C. Before COP26, the United Nations estimated that current pledges will lead to an increase of 2.7°C, a level that would lead to devastating effects on health through extreme weather events, crop failure, water shortages, forced migration, conflict, and a rise in sea level that will mean the disappearance of some island countries.2 Even with the additional pledges made at COP26, temperatures are expected to rise well above 2°C.3
We must encourage countries to be bolder in cutting emissions, promoting adaptation, supporting vulnerable countries – and do more to hold them to account. We must also concentrate on implementation, particularly within health systems where we have most influence.
“Hijab Is My Identity”: Beyond the Politics of the Veil: The Appropriations of the Veil in an Inner-City Muslim Area of Accra (Ghana) since the 1980s
Authors: Prempeh Charles 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
The object of this ethnographic study is to assess the contemporary debates surrounding the veil (hijab) and the cultural reinterpretation of the hair in Maamobi, an inner-city Muslim area of Accra, Ghana. Instead of reproducing the Orientalists' view of the veil as oppressive to women in Islam, the paper analyses the significance of the veil and its appropriation within the Islamic faith in recent times. I maintain that in the midst of religious plurality and the widespread perception of a fast-declining morality in urban Accra, the “traditional” role of women as gatekeepers of religious values has been refashioned in the veil debate. This study is based on my position as a resident of Maamobi for more than three decades as well as twelve months of ethnographic fieldwork I conducted in 2018 and 2019 to discuss the history and social use of the veil from the 1980s to contemporary times.
Somatizing the Past: Healing the Dead through Spirit Possession in the Garifuna Dugu of Honduras
Authors: Perdomo Marcela Maria 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
This article explores the connection between individual experience, religious initiation, historical consciousness, and ethnicity within the context of Dugu, the religion practiced by the Garifuna, an Afro-Amerindian group that originated in the Caribbean island of Saint Vincent. During colonial times, in 1797, the British Crown forced the Garifuna people to leave their homeland; they were displaced to the Atlantic coast of Central America, where they now live in scattered communities. This traumatic event remains entrenched in Dugu and emerges among individuals' somatic experiences and ritual performance. Overwhelmed, ancestors become visible in dreams and hallucinatory visions and are the instigators of misfortune. Also, the spirits of the dead are believed to act on the bodies of their living descendants by spirit possession. By focusing on some recurrent patterns of possession episodes among the Garifuna people, I argue that particular scenes of a collective memory are embodied by individuals, who evolve from afflicted patients to “living supports” of a historical legacy via initiation.
Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don't: The Paradox of Africana Religions' Legal Status
Authors: Ogunnaike Ayodeji 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
The Jamaican government reconsidering the Obeah Act in the summer of 2019 highlighted the legacy of prejudice and criminalization of Africana religious systems and practices left by colonization across ethno-linguistic borders and the broader Black Atlantic. It also highlighted how some traditions such as Béninois Vodun, Candomblé, Santería, and oriṣa worship in parts of Nigeria have successfully managed to combat state policing and prejudice to gain official recognition and legal protection. However, this article analyzes the way even the legal and conceptual success of Africana religions in the modern world places them in a Catch-22. Drawing attention to the fundamental differences between modern conceptions and assumptions of what constitutes “religion,” the article traces the history of how modern political and legal structures either exclude and oppress Africana traditions or exert subtle pressure on them to conform to conceptions of “religion” that are more intelligible and acceptable to their largely Western-based frameworks.
Uso problemático de la tecnología, motivación y rendimiento académico en escolares

Published: January 2022

La implementación y uso de la tecnología ha tenido beneficios importantes en el quehacer diario, sin embargo, es importante considerar que su uso también puede tener consecuencias negativas, además de representar posibles riesgos y amenazas, sobre todo en los menores. Su uso problemático puede generar una disminución en el tiempo dedicado a los estudios y con ello verse afectado los niveles de motivación hacia el aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico. El objetivo general del estudio fue determinar la relación entre el uso problemático de las tecnologías, la motivación hacia el aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico en niños y niñas escolares entre 9 y 12 años. Fue de tipo cuantitativo con diseño no experimental transversal correlacional y comparativo. Participaron 171 alumnos entre los 9 y 12 años de edad; para la recolección de los datos se utilizaron dos escalas tipo Likert relacionadas con el uso problemático de la tecnología (internet, videojuegos, celular, tablet y computadora), y la motivación hacia el aprendizaje, para la medición del rendimiento académico se consideró el promedio de calificaciones. Los resultados indicaron relaciones estadísticamente significativas entre el uso de la tecnología con el rendimiento académico y este a su vez con la motivación, asimismo, se encontraron diferencias entre los grupos de promedio bajo y alto. Es una realidad que desde edades tempranas se accede al mundo tecnológico y los convierte en un grupo vulnerable para desencadenar usos problemáticos, lo cual se ve reflejado en su desempeño.
140 What Effect Does Systems Integration Simulation Have on the Sense of Preparedness of Teams Moving to a New Unit?
Authors: Twentyman Kathryn , Howie Katie , Oliver Nathan 
Published: January 2022

Testing new healthcare systems, environments and processes using simulation-based methods is a rapidly growing topic in the literature. By testing systems in a safe and controlled environment, simulation for system integration allows operational and safety issues to be flagged up without risking patient care This study aims to explore the lived experience of change in nurses moving to a new hospital, and the impact of a simulation programme on their sense of preparedness.The Patient Environment Simulation for Systems Integration (PESSI) programme was developed to test new processes and environments to identify latent safety threats and systems issues prior to staff, patient and community use. A major PESSI project was commissioned to aid the transition of paediatric care in Edinburgh to a new hospital site. Simulation scenarios were developed to mimic an average working morning for each department using staff feedback on processes or factors that might be affected by the change in environment. Staff were invited to participate in departmental simulation days which included orientation in the new environment, a simulation scenario, and a professional debriefing. Following each session, a report was produced detailing key findings.The research team selected a constructivist phenomenological approach to the enquiry and using Bartunek’s et al.’s conceptual framework designed pre- and post-simulation semi-structured interviews (SSIs), and mid-intervention ‘headline reflections’ Results are currently being analysed following the hospital move in March this year. Early findings suggest ‘quality of communication’ and ‘opportunity for familiarization with the environment’ were key themes influencing participant’s feelings of preparedness prior to the move. While ‘recognition of voice’, ‘personal impact’ and ‘good leadership’ appear to be factors impacting participants’ feelings towards the change in working environment after the move. Early indications suggest that the inclusion of local staff groups as part of this simulation had a positive impact on the perception and preparedness of large-scale change.As simulation for system integration becomes more common, it is important that we tailor simulation programmes to best prepare not only the new systems but also the people working there. This can only be done through listening and learning from staff experiences. The research team will seek to publish these findings to help inform future simulation for systems integration programmes.
