A home grocery list is a crucial aspect of household management that ensures sufficient kitchen supplies. The classic pen-and-paper grocery list is ineffective since it is time-consuming and prone to human error. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a microcontroller-based home grocery listing system using a barcode scanner and speech recognition. The proposed system consists of hardware and a mobile application. The main hardware components are the ESP32-S3 microcontroller, MH-ET barcode scanner v3.0, 20×4 LCD, and 2.4 GHz wireless keyboard. The mobile application is developed using the MIT App Inventor. Through the hardware, the system receives user input from barcode scanning or manual data entry using the keyboard. The data captured using a barcode scanner or keyboard is stored in the memory. Subsequently, the data is transmitted to the mobile application of the home grocery listing system via WiFi. Moreover, the mobile application is also equipped with user input via speech recognition and manual data entry using the keyboard. Hence, users have the flexibility to input the grocery list using four methods within the system. The developed home grocery listing system gives a new, satisfying experience to the users and a convenient way for them to make a home grocery list.

L’article propose une étude du motif de la nuit dans l’autobiographie de l’écrivain cubain Reinaldo Arenas, Antes que anochezca (1990), depuis une triple perspective. Il s’arrête d’abord sur la scène primitive de l’homme, en identifiant ce qui devrait se passer la nuit mais est projeté au grand jour. Le second temps est dédié au citoyen Arenas, afin d’évaluer, cette fois, ce qui devrait se passer le jour et déborde sur la nuit. Enfin, il sera question de l’écrivain et de la course contre la montre dans laquelle s’engage celui qui se définit comme le « fils de la Lune ».

Background: Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) is a widespread infectious respiratory pathogen affecting turkeys and chickens, with co-predominance of the subtypes A and B. Objectives: There is no official reports in Morocco about the subtypes of aMPV circulating. Hence, using quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) subtypes-specific A and B, we aimed at detecting and identifying the potential subtype(s) circulating. Methods: We conducted a longitudinal study on three broiler flocks that were strictly not vaccinated against aMPV and were located in two different geographical regions. We studied two flocks that expressed typical swollen head syndrome (SHS) and sampled them once. Furthermore, we sampled dead birds of one flock confirmed seropositive from a previous study. A total of 118 swabs pooled in 24 samples were subjected to RNA extraction and amplified using a triplex RT-PCR for specific detection of aMPV subtypes A and B. Additionally, serum samples were taken at slaughtering age to cross-check the molecular results. A total of 84 sera were analyzed with a commercial indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit to detect and titer antibodies against the two subtypes. Results: Avian metapneumovirus was detected by qRT-PCR in all flocks. About 87.50% of the samples were positive for aMPV-B, and 16.67% for aMPV-A and aMPV-B simultaneously. All flocks showed seropositivity, confirming the molecular findings. Conclusion: The present investigation is the first molecular study in Morocco to elucidate the circulation of aMPV-A and aMPV-B in broiler farms in Morocco with a dominance of aMPV-B and the possibility of co-presence of both subtypes.

Modern machine learning techniques, particularly deep learning, have showcased remarkable efficacy across numerous knowledge discovery and data mining applications. However, the advancement of many of these methods is frequently impeded by resource constraint challenges in many scenarios, such as limited labeled data (data-level), small model size requirements in real-world computing platforms (model-level), and efficient mapping of the computations to heterogeneous target hardware (system-level). Addressing all these factors is crucial for effectively and efficiently deploying developed models across a broad spectrum of real-world systems, including large-scale social network analysis, recommendation systems, and real-time anomaly detection. Therefore, there is a critical need to develop efficient learning techniques to address the challenges posed by resource limitations, whether from data, model/algorithm, or system/hardware perspectives. The proposed international workshop on "<u>R</u>esource-<u>E</u>fficient <u>L</u>earning for <u>K</u>nowledge <u>D</u>iscovery (RelKD 2024)" will provide a great venue for academic researchers and industrial practitioners to share challenges, solutions, and future opportunities of resource-efficient learning.

Introduction: The study will focus on presenting the effects of adequate intake or supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids on patients' perception of menstrual pain. Other known characteristics of these substances will also be presented. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to demonstrate impact of omega-3 fatty acids supplementation or normal supply to dysmenorrhea among women through a literature review. State of Knowledge: Dysmenorrhea is a condition that limits normal functioning and affects up to 90% of women. Therefore, it is so important to study its pathogenesis and prevent its occurrence. It results in the use of painkillers and the absence of many women from daily activities. Omega-3 acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that have a positive effect on numerous organs and functions of the human body. They are substances with anti-inflammatory properties, which have been used in research on the influence of omega-3 acids on reducing dysmenorrhea among women. Conclusion: Omega-3 acids reduce dysmenorrhea in women. It is very important to pay attention to the presence of acids in diet as well as supplementation among patients.

Introduction Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein belonging to the group of transferrins found in most body fluids. It has been shown to possess antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and anticancer properties. The increasing availability and widespread use of dietary supplements containing lactoferrin have been observed as supportive measures in managing various infections. Aim of the study The objective of this study is to summarize the current knowledge regarding the anti-infective - mostly antiviral - effects of lactoferrin and the justification for its use in the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections. Knowledge summary Scientific research has consistently confirmed the effectiveness of lactoferrin against pathogenic microorganisms. The antibacterial effect of this protein is based mainly on the management of available iron resources - an ingredient necessary for bacterial growth. On the other hand, the antiviral activity of this protein is based on the induction of interferon production. Conclusion Dietary supplements containing lactoferrin are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for supportive use in infections. Lactoferrin exhibits antimicrobial activity supported by research in specific infections. It has a good tolerance and safety profile, therefore it seems that it can be used adjunctively in this indication.

From a hermeneutic interpretation, this article analyzed the new psychic pandemic configuring a typology of psychopolitical man, provided by digital swarms and mass psychology, that, from logotherapy, can be perceived as a postmodern collective neurosis. We also analyze a self's hyper-reflection as a social phenomenon of psychopolitics, suffering as repression, and the love of narcissistic consumption. Consolidating a sense of life as a social ethos is the answer to finding compromises and responsibility for the individual mission that every human being has as a member of a community and society.
