INCORPORATING ISLAMIC PRINCIPLES IN EVENT CONTENT: ENHANCING THE APPEAL OF ISLAMIC TOURISM

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract: This research aims to increase the attractiveness of Islamic tourism by exploring the use of Islamic principles in event content following the increasing demand for Islamic tourism that encompasses a firm adherence to Islamic beliefs and values. Therefore, incorporating Islamic ideas into event planning and implementation is expected to further enhance the Muslim travel experience in Malaysia, which requires them to meet religious and cultural demands while traveling. This research aims to comprehensively evaluate and create an inclusive event design framework using core Islamic principles to enhance the broader appeal of Islamic tourism. To gain an understanding of how Islamic teachings can be incorporated into the content of an event, structured interviews were used involving industry professionals and event organizers sharing their views. The study also considered the benefits of promoting good manners and ethics that not only benefit organizers but also visitors to understand and foster a sense of community. By collectively combining a literature review and qualitative analysis, this study highlights definitive best practices for integrating Islamic principles into event content and discusses the subsequent implications for the development of sustainable Islamic tourism. The results suggest that by aligning event proposals with Islamic ethics and doctrine, events can attract additional Muslim visitors which can help with the growth of the Islamic tourism sphere.

“Fucking Koreans!”: Sexual Relations and Immigration in the Philippines

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Drawn by the tropical weather and pristine beaches, significantly lower cost of living, and proximity, South Koreans are now the top tourists in the Philippines. Besides the short-term tourists, more than 100,000 South Koreans have chosen to permanently reside in the Philippines, making them the largest immigrant population in the country. Recently, a tenuous relationship between these two groups has emerged marked by mutual antipathy. I have overheard many Koreans describe Filipinos as impoverished, lazy, and socially backwards. They appear to have internalized a racial hierarchy whereby they perceive their darker-skinned Asian counterparts as ranking lower on the pigmentocracy scale. Conversely, Filipinos complain incessantly that Korean immigrants and visitors alike are arrogant, rude, and provincial, refusing to learn Tagalog or appreciate, much less respect, local customs. The exclamation, “Fucking Koreans!” has become a familiar refrain by Filipinos in response to being treated as second-class citizens in their own country. This utterance also has a secondary meaning as the one area where Koreans and Filipinos commonly do interact is in the form of sexual relationships.
Yoga respiratory training improves respiratory function and cardiac sympathovagal balance in elderly subjects: a randomised controlled trial

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objectives Since ageing is associated with a decline in pulmonary function, heart rate variability and spontaneous baroreflex, and recent studies suggest that yoga respiratory exercises may improve respiratory and cardiovascular function, we hypothesised that yoga respiratory training may improve respiratory function and cardiac autonomic modulation in healthy elderly subjects. Design 76 healthy elderly subjects were enrolled in a randomised control trial in Brazil and 29 completed the study (age 68±6 years, 34% males, body mass index 25±3 kg/m 2 ). Subjects were randomised into a 4-month training program (2 classes/week plus home exercises) of either stretching (control, n=14) or respiratory exercises (yoga, n=15). Yoga respiratory exercises (Bhastrika) consisted of rapid forced expirations followed by inspiration through the right nostril, inspiratory apnoea with generation of intrathoracic negative pressure, and expiration through the left nostril. Pulmonary function, maximum expiratory and inspiratory pressures (PE max and PI max , respectively), heart rate variability and blood pressure variability for spontaneous baroreflex determination were determined at baseline and after 4 months. Results Subjects in both groups had similar demographic parameters. Physiological variables did not change after 4 months in the control group. However, in the yoga group, there were significant increases in PE max (34%, p<0.0001) and PI max (26%, p<0.0001) and a significant decrease in the low frequency component (a marker of cardiac sympathetic modulation) and low frequency/high frequency ratio (marker of sympathovagal balance) of heart rate variability (40%, p<0.001). Spontaneous baroreflex did not change, and quality of life only marginally increased in the yoga group. Conclusion Respiratory yoga training may be beneficial for the elderly healthy population by improving respiratory function and sympathovagal balance. Trial Registration CinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00969345 ; trial registry name: Effects of respiratory yoga training (Bhastrika) on heart rate variability and baroreflex, and quality of life of healthy elderly subjects.
Impact of Bit Allocation Strategies on Machine Learning Performance in Rate Limited Systems

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Intelligent entities such as self-driving vehicles, with their data being\nprocessed by machine learning units (MLU), are developing into an intertwined\npart of networks. These units handle distorted input but their sensitivity to\nnoisy observations varies for different input attributes. Since blind transport\nof massive data burdens the system, identifying and delivering relevant\ninformation to MLUs leads in improved system performance and efficient resource\nutilization. Here, we study the integer bit allocation problem for quantizing\nmultiple correlated sources providing input of a MLU with a bandwidth\nconstraint.\n Unlike conventional distance measures between original and quantized input\nattributes, a new Kullback-Leibler divergence based distortion measure is\ndefined to account for accuracy of MLU decisions. The proposed criterion is\napplicable to many practical cases with no prior knowledge on data statistics\nand independent of selected MLU instance. Here, we examine an inverted pendulum\non a cart with a neural network controller assuming scalar quantization.\nSimulation results present a significant performance gain, particularly for\nregions with smaller available bandwidth. Furthermore, the pattern of\nsuccessful rate allocations demonstrates higher relevancy of some features for\nthe MLU and the need to quantize them with higher accuracy.\n
Mistakes in the diagnosis of neuromyelitis optic spectrum diseases lead to wrong therapy and deterioration of patients’ condition

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Neuromyelitis optic spectrum diseases (NMOSD) are a group of rare neuroimmunological diseases involving mainly the optic nerves and spinal cord, to a lesser extent the brain, and causing severe exacerbations that lead to persistent disability of patients. For many years, opticoneuromyelitis was considered a prognostically unfavorable variant of the course of multiple sclerosis (MS), however, in 2004, specific autoantibodies to aquaporin-4 were found in such patients, which made it possible to isolate NMOSD into a separate group of demyelinating diseases other than MS. Due to similar clinical signs and the predominantly remitting course of diseases, it is often difficult to make a correct diagnosis and, accordingly, prescribe effective therapy, which often leads to incorrectly selected therapy with incorrect diagnosis. In some cases, this leads to a worsening of the course of NMOSD. We present a case of late diagnosis of NMOSD that confirms the development of exacerbation in the patient 2 months after the first course of therapy with alemtuzumab prescribed as a highly effective therapy for highly active remitting MS. Timely diagnosis of NMOSD makes it possible to exclude such cases.

Final results of this research provide theoretical implications and practical implications for college staff or professors who are in charge of recruiting students or maintaining college students.
An efficient and accurate implicit DG solver for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Abstract We propose an efficient, accurate, and robust implicit solver for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, based on a DG spatial discretization and on the TR‐BDF2 method for time discretization. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated in a number of classical benchmarks, which highlight its superior efficiency with respect to other widely used implicit approaches. The parallel implementation of the proposed method in the framework of the deal.II software package allows for accurate and efficient adaptive simulations in complex geometries, which makes the proposed solver attractive for large scale industrial applications.

Evidence‐based Medicine Simulation: A Novel and Practice‐relevant Approach to Teaching Real‐time Literature Searching to Emergency Medicine Residents

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Introduction Evidence‐based medicine (EBM) and literature searching skills are competencies within the emergency medicine (EM) residency curriculum. Previously in our residency program, a librarian taught literature searching instruction, including a classroom‐based overview of search engines. Learners reported low engagement and poor retention. To improve engagement, interest, and skill retention, we used a novel approach: simulation to teach real‐time literature searching. Methods Based on a needs assessment of our EM residents, we created a literature searching workshop using a flipped classroom approach and high‐fidelity simulation. Goals of the session were to be interactive, engaging, and practice‐relevant. With a librarian, we developed a brief list of EM‐relevant databases, including tips for searching and links to sites/apps. Prereadings also covered the hierarchy of evidence and formulating a good clinical (PICO) question. Residents (12 junior residents) participated in a high‐fidelity simulation involving a stable patient whose management required a literature search to inform decisions. Feedback was collected on the simulation experience. Results Residents received the list of EM‐relevant databases 7 days prior and were instructed to set up and test the resources on their smartphones. The day of the session, one resident volunteered to lead the simulation; all residents participated in the search on their smart phones. Collectively, it took 4.5 minutes to find a study that adequately addressed the clinical question and to manage the patient accordingly. Feedback on the simulation was positive. Students found it “very real and practical” and “immediately institutable into practice.” It helped residents learn to efficiently and effectively search the literature while managing a stable patient. Conclusion A flipped‐classroom simulation‐based teaching strategy made learning literature searching more interesting, engaging, and applicable to EM practice. Based on popular demand, we will continue to use this teaching method.
S2237 The Importance of Repeat Imaging When Clinical Suspicion Is High for Multiple Foreign Bodies

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Foreign body ingestion is a common occurrence in the emergency department. However, ingested foreign bodies penetrating the upper GI tract and entering the mediastinal space is a fairly rare event and requires careful management. Case Description/Methods: A 57-year-old female presented to the emergency department after ingesting three ballpoint pens in an effort to harm herself. One pen was lodged in her posterior oropharynx. It was visualized on physical exam and was removed with direct laryngoscopy by ENT. Radiography of the chest, neck, and abdomen demonstrated two additional metallic ballpoint pen tips. One pen was overlying the midpoint of the esophagus and the other was located over the gastric body. GI performed an EGD where a posterior oropharynx ulceration was visualized and one ballpoint pen was identified in the body and fundus of the stomach. The pen was extracted using a snare device. No other pen was found despite thorough investigation to the level of the duodenum. Repeat radiography following the EGD again demonstrated a metallic pen tip at the level of the thoracic esophagus. CT imaging further localized the third pen to the proximal thoracic esophagus, outside the lumen, with associated pneumomediastinum. The thoracic surgery team was consulted and surgically removed the third pen. She was discharged from the hospital several days later. Discussion: This case highlights the importance of additional imaging when there is a high index of suspicion for a possible migrating foreign body. The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) recommends therapeutic EGD be performed within 24 hours for foreign bodies in a patient's stomach such as sharp-pointed objects, magnets, batteries, and large/long objects. In the situation where a foreign body cannot be retrieved endoscopically or is not visualized at all it is recommended that the patient be closely observed possibly with daily radiographs. [1] In this case, the tips of the pens were seen on x-ray, but a post endoscopy CT scan was required to fully appreciate the location of the final pen outside the lumen of the esophagus.Figure 1.: A—Abdominal X-ray one hour prior to EGD, B—Abdominal X-ray on admission, C—Fistula tract found at duodenal bulb.

Experience in Rainwater Harvesting Application atHousehold Scale in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Indonesia is a country that has large rain water availability. However, the implementation of rainwater
harvesting in urban areas has not become a popular activity in Indonesia. Instead of the ignorance of
the public about the importance of rainwater harvesting as an alternative source of freshwater,
information and knowledge about the construction of the installation of rainwater harvesting systems
is still very limited. This paper aims to analyze supporting capacity of rainwater harvesting for
domestic needs in Bandar Lampung city, Indonesia. This paper also aims to introduce a real
experience in rainwater harvesting at household scale in the city. Rainwater harvesting simulation is
applied to a family with a roof area of 70 m2 with number of family members 5 persons and maximum
storage capacity 1.2 m3. Daily rainfall data used in the simulation is obtained from Bandar Lampung
Raingauge Station with period of data from 1992 to 1996. The simulation shows that supporting
capacity of rainwater harvesting in the area of study is about 53% and 42% for wet year and dry year,
respectively. Experience also shows that knowledge about the operation and maintenance of rainwater
harvesting facility is important in the application of rainwater harvesting at household scale.
An Analysis of Spatiotemporal Evolution and Influencing Factors of Urban Resilience: A Case Study of Liaoning Province, China

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study selects Liaoning Province, China, as the research area and constructs a theoretical evaluation framework for urban resilience based on the five dimensions: ecological, economic, social, infrastructural, and institutional. It examines the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics and identifies obstacle factors of urban resilience in Liaoning Province from 2011 to 2022, utilizing the optimal parameter-based geographical detector (OPGD) model to analyze its primary driving factors and interactions. The results show that from 2011 to 2022, urban resilience exhibited a fluctuating upward trend, rising from 0.182 in 2011 to 0.288 in 2022, while the disparity among prefecture-level cities has diminished. Spatially, the urban resilience in Liaoning Province tends to be higher in the northern region and lower in the southern region. In the east–west direction, it shows higher levels in the eastern region and lower levels in the western region during the early stage of the study period, followed by an inverted “U”-shaped evolutionary trend by the end of the study period. The obstacle degree to urban resilience development in Liaoning Province intensified from 2011 to 2022. Improving urban resilience in Liaoning Province in the future requires a focus on improving and enhancing the economic and institutional resilience subsystems. The year-end deposit balance of financial institutions is the dominant driving factor of urban resilience. This study offers theoretical support and practical guidance for future urban spatial planning and sustainable development.
A local search heuristic based on column generation applied to the binary multicommodity flow problem

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we apply a multi-start local search heuristic based on column generation to the binary multicommodity flow problem. One solution is represented as a set of paths, one of each commodity. A neighbor solution is obtained by selecting a differ ent path for one commodity. We discuss and present computational results for alternative ways of using primal and dual information from the linear programming (restricted) master problem in construc ting and evaluating heuristic integer solutions. The local search heuristic, although described and tested for the binary multicommodity problem, can b e applied in general column generation models where the master variables are binary and there are convex ity constraints, since it does not depend on the subpro blem structure.
