      Precious Patrick Edet, Nwanne Onumah
Abstract: Background: In 2021, approximately 76% of middle and high school students were exposed to tobacco advertising through traditional media such as TV programs, and other tobacco exposure channels exist. Tobacco companies utilize strategies that diminish risk perception of tobacco products thereby increasing receptivity to tobacco advertising and imagery. We hypothesize that there are disparities in exposure to tobacco advertising and imagery among youths in the U.S. This study examines the prevalence and sociodemographic disparities in exposure to cigarettes or other tobacco product advertising and imagery among American youths.

Abstract: Indonesia is a maritime country with a wider ocean area, namely 2000 Km of land area of 1000 Km which consists of 17,544 islands so it really needs sea transportation as the backbone of the economy and as a unifier of the nation. Since March 1, 1938 (Dutch Colonial era) it has had an institution called the Shipping Court as a professional court whose job is to examine the causes of ship accidents and to impose sanctions on the captain or ship officer who is proven guilty of applying maritime professional standards. The position of the Shipping Court is currently under the Ministry of Transportation so that its authority is very limited and does not yet cover matters arising from ship accidents.

Abstract: Rearing barramundi larvae using natural food is considered ineffective, so it needs to be limited as early as possible by using artificial feed injected with exogenous enzymes (papain enzymes). This study aims to determine the dose of papain enzyme and the period of predigest feeding which results in the best growth and survival of barramundi larvae. Factorial pattern with completely randomized design was used to determine the appropriate dose of papain enzyme and larval age on growth and survival. The first factor was the dose of papain enzyme (0, 1.5, 3 and 4.5%), the second factor was the age of the larvae (14, 17 and 20 days).

Abstract: The purpose of this review is to discuss the Sri Lankan perspective of protected agriculture and to review the necessity and possibility of adopting protected agriculture in Sri Lanka. Crop cultivation under protective covers is termed as protected agriculture and it is a subset of controlled environment agriculture and the micro-climate of a crop is fully or partially modified and or controlled depending on the extent of technology applied. Protected cultivation has gained significant attention at present due to frequently occurring adverse environmental conditions, rapidly declining arable lands and the necessity of increased productivity. Protected agriculture delivers the benefits of improved quality and productivity and year round production despite the additional investments incurred. Sri Lanka being located in the tropical belt with year round favorable weather and optimal soil conditions, had been rather stable in open field cultivation. Protected cultivation is practiced for high value export crops and seedling production. Even though attempts have been made to establish protected cultivation, it has not been sustained due to various reasons.

Abstract: Scrum meetings are an essential component of agile project management, providing an opportunity for team members to discuss progress and obstacles. However, these meetings are not always productive and can lead to frustration among team members. In this paper, we propose a set of strategies aimed at improving the productivity of Scrum meetings. These strategies include the implementation of an announcement at the start of the meeting, the use of simple arithmetic progression to minimize unutilized time, and training team members to identify dependencies. By implementing these strategies, we aim to increase motivation among team members by making them feel that their contributions are valuable and that the meetings are more purposeful. The effectiveness of these strategies will be evaluated through further research.

Abstract: Culture is thought to have a significant impact on how various psychological ailments and mental health issues manifest their psychopathology. Furthermore, some psychological illnesses are exclusive to specific cultural groups. The term "culture-bound" or "culture-specific syndrome" refers to several conditions. There has been an increased emphasis in investigating psychological disorders across cultures throughout the past several decades. A group of abnormalities, encompassing physical and mental symptoms, is referred to as a "culture-specific syndrome" and is believed to be a diagnosable illness that only exists within a certain community or culture. Dhat syndrome, Gilhari syndrome, Koro syndrome, and Possession syndrome are a few examples of culturally specific syndromes.

Abstract: This paper describes the personality classification experiment by applying k-means clustering machine learning algorithms. Several previous studies have been attempted to predict the personality types of human beings automatically by using different machine learning algorithms. However, only few of them have obtained good accuracy results to classify a person into personality types. With the onset of the epidemic, everything has gone online, and individuals have been compelled to work from home. There is a need to automate the hiring process in order to enhance the efficiency and decrease manual labour that may be done electronically. If resume categorization were done online, then it would significantly save paperwork and human error. The recruiting process has several steps, but the first is resume categorization and verification. Automating the first stage would greatly assist the interview process in terms of speedy applicant selection. Classification of resumes will be performed using Machine Learning Algorithms Random Forest.

Abstract: A translator generally did the translation honestly and hopes that the readers liked the translation. The translator did the translation according to the contents of everything in the source language text. But it didn’t stop there, in fact there are many things that translators had to consider before translating. For example, what are the rules of the publisher, what is the original ideology of the original author, and also considering the ideology of the readers’ expectations. It will all be synchronized with the translator’s own ideology. So, for the study of ideological manipulation carried out by translators, this was common and often found.

Abstract: Organizations operating in dynamic environments are increasingly becoming dependent on organization development interventions in a bid to remain competitive. These organization development interventions include technostructural interventions, strategic interventions, human resource management interventions and human process interventions. On the other hand, one of the variables that has been discussed variously in the literature as an intervening variable in organization studies is organizational communication. While most studies report statistically significant indirect effects of communication on organizational outcomes, several methodological weaknesses from some of the studies limit inference to the conclusion that communication can be a true mediator in the relationship between organization development interventions and organizational outcomes.
