2025-01-09T08:03:02+00:00

This study examines the security implications of language policy in multilingual nations, focusing on its role in fostering inclusion, managing diversity, and mitigating conflict. Through case studies of Nigeria, India, and Switzerland, the research highlights how language policies influence national identity, governance, and socio-economic equity. In Nigeria, the dominance of English marginalizes indigenous languages, exacerbating ethnic tensions and socio-economic disparities. India’s federal structure accommodates linguistic diversity but continues to face challenges with regional resistance to Hindi dominance. Switzerland, by contrast, exemplifies the success of inclusive multilingual policies in maintaining stability and fostering unity. Drawing on theoretical frameworks such as Critical Language Policy, Linguistic Justice, and Intersectionality, the study underscores the importance of equitable and participatory approaches to language planning. It concludes that inclusive language policies reduce grievances, promote cohesion, and enhance national security, while exclusionary practices risk alienation and conflict. The findings contribute to the growing discourse on the nexus between language, governance, and security, offering valuable insights for policymakers in linguistically diverse nations.

This study aims to explore the role and contribution of Street Vendors (PKL) in local economic development. Through data collection from 50 respondents involved in PKL activities, analysis was conducted on demographic characteristics, types of products sold, and daily earnings of the vendors. The results show that the majority of respondents are within the productive age range (27-40 years), predominantly male, with educational backgrounds of SMP (junior high school) and SD (elementary school), and an average trading experience between 2 to 5 years. The most sold products are food, with 95% of respondents contributing to the local economy by paying retribution when trading in places that require an entrance fee. Validity testing of the questionnaire indicates that all questions are well-measured, while reliability testing yields values above 0.7, indicating that the research instrument is reliable. Moreover, frequency analysis shows that 60% of respondents are food traders, with an Independent Samples T-Test revealing that the average daily earnings of food vendors reach Rp 250,000, while non-food vendors average only Rp 180,000, indicating a significant difference. This research emphasizes the important role of PKL in creating jobs, increasing community income, and contributing to local economic sustainability, and is expected to provide insights for decision-making in policies that support the development of the informal sector and the improvement of community welfare.

Deep Learning in the Diagnosis and Management of Arrhythmias

2024-12-06T15:50:23+00:00

Recent advancements in analyzing methods for the identification of arrhythmia based on deep learning have revealed great promise towards improving cardiac care. Probabilistic models have been used effectively to detect a number of arrhythmic disorders from ECG signals with the help of convolutional neural networks and Long Short Term Memory neural network. These models are more precise and quicker than conventional approaches to deal with the ailment in the initial stages and with diseases such as bradycardia, ventricular tachycardia, or atrial fibrillation. However, barriers such as class distribution, data sanitization, interpretability, and generalization across different types of patients remain, which hinders their clinical utilization. Actually, deep learning is used in clinical practice, especially in wearable devices and remote patient monitoring for the unceasing and real-time continuous rheological evaluation of the cardiovascular system. The subsequent advancements in this area will focus on the proper combination of the data from multiple subject areas and the application of specific treatment approaches, including the use of artificial intelligence in a more extensive medical system. Other than the diagnosis of arrhythmias, deep learning has the chances of enhancing patient prognoses, preliminary assessment, and tailor-made treatments. It is likely that deep learning-based systems will have a possibility to evolve into powerful aid for diagnosing and setting further treatment in cases of arrhythmias, though there are issues on the way to the enhance the availability and quality of the care. This will probably be facilitated by continued research and integration between academicians, practitioners, and policy makers.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) poses significant risks to health, especially among police officers, a high-risk occupational group due to their demanding work conditions. Factors such as high workloads, occupational stress, poor eating habits, lack of exercise, shift work, and sleep disturbances contribute to CHD risks. This study examined differences in CHD prevalence and risk factors between urban and rural police officers in East Java as part of an evaluation for preventive strategies. A cross-sectional study involving 766 police officers (383 urban, 383 rural) was conducted during 2024 medical check-ups at Bhayangkara State Police Hospital Surabaya. Data collection included physical exams, ECG, treadmill tests, and laboratory analyses of cholesterol and fasting blood sugar. CHD was identified through ischemic ECG changes, treadmill test symptoms, or medical history of cardiac events. Results showed CHD prevalence significantly higher among urban officers (89.7%) compared to rural counterparts (10.3%) (p=0.000). Total cholesterol was significantly associated with CHD risk (p=0.003). These findings highlight the greater vulnerability of urban police officers to CHD, emphasizing the need for proactive prevention strategies. Regular clinical and echocardiographic follow-ups, combined with lifestyle modifications and treatment, are critical to mitigating CHD risks and improving health outcomes for police officers in both urban and rural settings.
