Importance of Identifying and Establishing Context Boundaries While Migrating from Monolith to Microservices
Authors:   Software Architect and Technical Product Owner, USA, Chavan Ashwin
Published: February 2025

Transforming a traditional Monolithic system to a Microservice system is a business transformation exercise for scalability, flexibility, and short time to market,
to name but a few. This evolution poses challenges, especially in defining and demarcating context boundaries, which refer to a definition of responsibility
relating to a specific domain within a system. Context boundaries are a critical part of the modularity of the system functionalities and the isolation and
minimization of the degree of interaction between the services. They adhere to the Domain-Driven Design (DDD) best practices, putting processes, data,
and rules into separate domains to avoid chain reactions, improve performance, and make identifying the source of issues easier. This paper highlights
the importance of proper context boundaries for a good migration. These include understanding their technical architecture, use in distributed systems,
and suitability in frameworks such as TOGAF, SAFe, and McKinsey’s Digital Transformation Framework. Process-related best practices are discussed,
including incremental boundary refinement, cross-functional integration, and business relevance. To assess the boundary level, the study also looks at
other quantitative measures, such as service isolation, coherence, and cross-service interaction. The challenges presented include issues with dependency,
boundary mismatch, and data inconsistency, using examples of organizations such as Uber, Spotify, and eBay. Advantages are also described, including
improved fault identification, team empowerment, and cost savings. The paper considers the prospects for further development of technologies, changes
in the business climate, and growing concern for protecting personal data. In this context, this paper offers a practical guide for managing all possible
challenges encountered underneath the curtain of microservices migration.
The Science Behind Balance Training in Physical Therapy: Preventing Falls through Neuromuscular Reeducation
Authors:   Fox Rehabilitation Jersey City, USA, Chaughule Shivangi
Published: February 2025

Balance training is a critical component of physical therapy, particularly for individuals at risk of falls due to musculoskeletal, neurological, or age-related
impairments. This approach aims to enhance neuromuscular control, improve sensory integration, and optimize muscle activation patterns to restore
stability and functional movement. Neuromuscular reeducation, which forms the foundation of balance training, focuses on retraining the brain and body
to coordinate and fine-tune motor responses to external perturbations. Through exercises targeting proprioception, muscle strengthening, postural control,
and cognitive-motor integration, balance training helps prevent falls by addressing the underlying deficits in stability and coordination. This abstract
explores the science behind balance training, including its biomechanical, neuromuscular, and cognitive aspects, and its application in physical therapy to
prevent falls and improve patient o outcome’s.

Published: February 2025

Проведенный анализ практики формирования страховых резервов показывает, что национальные страховые рынки демонстрируют не только экономический, но и глубокий поведенческий разрыв в отношении к страховой защите. Современная экономическая наука, стремясь объяснить реалии финансовых рынков и потребительского поведения, все чаще обращается к исследованию влияния психологических факторов, лежащих в основе принятия решений. В статье демонстрируется, как теория перспектив, концепции ментального учета, фрейминга и нуджинга объясняют иррациональные решения, в числе прочего транслируемые и на сферу страхования.

The analysis of the practice of forming insurance reserves shows that national insurance markets demonstrate not only an economic, but also a deep behavioral gap in relation to insurance protection. Modern economics, seeking to explain the realities of financial markets and consumer behavior, is increasingly turning to the study of the influence of psychological factors underlying decision-making. The presented material demonstrates how perspective theory, concepts of mental accounting, framing and nudging explain irrational decisions in the insurance industry.
Exploring Stress Factors among Event Coordinators Which Impacts Their Mental Health and Their Coping Mechanisms
Authors: Chet Jasnuriana , Nair Sree Kala Kunju Raman
Published: February 2025

The primary role of an event coordinator is to plan, oversee, and evaluate various aspects of events, including directing staff and ensuring the successful execution of event activities. The objective of this study was to investigate the stress factors impacting the mental health of event coordinators, identify why stress affects their mental health, and explore how they cope with it. This research aimed to uncover the root causes and risk factors of mental health issues in event coordinators, with the goal of informing the development of future support systems.

Using a qualitative approach, this study interviewed 11 event coordinators with over ten years of experience, and thematic analysis revealed four key themes: “Work Challenges,” “High-Self Expectations,” “Impact of Work Stress,” and “Response Towards Stress.” The findings highlighted that event coordinators regularly face uncooperative clients and must prepare for unforeseen circumstances, leading to significant stress. This stress manifests in various ways, including sleep disturbances, appetite loss, anxiety, and depression. Despite these challenges, participants developed coping mechanisms such as calming techniques, alone time, and fostering a positive work environment to manage stress and continue their work.

In conclusion, the study provides valuable insights into the experiences of event coordinators, their stress factors, the mental health impacts, and the coping strategies they employ. For future research, it is recommended to conduct more in-depth studies, such as ethnographic or quantitative research, to explore the mental health of event coordinators further. Additionally, research on less experienced event coordinators or those involved in large-scale international and national events may offer different perspectives on stress and its effects on mental health.
Astrocytes and the ageing synapse
Authors: Holt Matthew
Published: February 2025

Neurons are generally regarded as the computational units of the brain and communicate at specialist structures called synapses. Synapses are plastic and show structural and functional modifications over time, changes which are thought to be the basis of learning and memory. Ageing is generally associated with cognitive decline and it is now thought that this is not caused by the loss of neurons per se but by a loss of synapses and/or perturbed synapse function. Astrocytes are the main type of glial cell in the mammalian brain and play key roles at all stages of the synaptic life cycle from formation to elimination. In this Mini Review, I aim to give an overview of our current understanding of how ageing impacts this cell type, arguing that impaired astrocyte function is likely a major contributor to ageing-related cognitive decline.

Smart agriculture: farming system is new idea of farming in agriculture. It uses sensors to monitor environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, moisture and additional features like measurement of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. It helps farmers to increase crop yields and reduce the costs. The system uses variety of sensors to monitor environmental as well as soil condition and sends the notification to farmer’s smart phone when there are discrepancies. Soil moisture and NPK are two basic soil parameters to characterize soil. In India, about 52% population depends on agriculture. In these busy days, monitoring agriculture fields continuously is hectic task. In order to overcome this problem, IOT based smart agriculture management system is employed. Our device is aimed at providing the information about field. The farmers can monitor and control the various operations in field using our application. Farming and agriculture is basic of human life and technology holds an important role in increased product, decreased extra manpower that may play an important role in farmer’s daily routine. By using various type of wireless sensors, multiple operations can be done, quality of soil is measured and decision can be taken up for optimum use of input resources like fertilizers and organic carbons. In smart agriculture management system NPK sensor is used for detecting percentage of sodium, Phosphorus and Potassium. Determination of soil moisture is done by using moisture sensor.

The rising mortality and disability rates in India and globally can largely be attributed to chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, and arthritis. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for a significant portion of deaths, surpassing other disease categories. Annually, around 5.8 million individuals in India succumb to NCDs, with a global figure of approximately 41 million. Addressing chronic diseases necessitates a focus on both investment and preventive measures, making it crucial to find effective solutions. Effective management of these conditions involves early diagnosis, comprehensive patient care, and supportive services. However, the vast amount of medical data generated presents a formidable challenge in data management. Deep learning, a branch of machine learning, plays a pivotal role in the healthcare sector by enabling the analysis of large datasets. Various diagnostic technologies leverage deep learning to enhance treatment strategies for chronic diseases, ultimately aiming to reduce mortality rates.

The Effectiveness of Mindfulness Parenting to Reduce Parenting Stress in Single Mothers as Measured By Resilience
Authors: Ihdalumam Abdy , Noviekayati IGAA , Santi Dyan Evita
Published: February 2025

Single mothers often face multiple burdens and limited social support, which increases the risk of parenting stress. Resilience is thought to influence the success of any given intervention. So, this study aims to test the effectiveness of mindfulness parenting in reducing parenting stress in single mothers and analyse differences in stress reduction based on resilience levels. The method used in this study is a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experiment design with six single mother subjects. Data were collected through parenting stress and resilience scales that have been tested for validity. Analyses were conducted using Wilcoxon and KruskalWallis tests. The results showed that mindfulness parenting significantly decreased parenting stress (p = 0.028). All subjects experienced a decrease in stress at the posttest compared to pretest. However, analysis of differences based on the level of resilience showed insignificant results (p = 0.102). Although the high resilience group showed a more significant decrease in stress, this difference was not statistically strong enough. In conclusion, mindfulness parenting effectively reduced parenting stress in single mothers without being significantly affected by the level of resilience. The intervention helped mothers better manage stress and improve relationships with their children. These results provide important implications for developing mindfulness-based programs to support single mothers' well-being in parenting.
“Importing” the Enlightenment and “Enlightenment at the margins”. The example of Bohemia as a language and religious frontier, 1770-1800
Authors: Tinková Daniela
Published: February 2025

This contribution explores the hypothesis that 18th-century Bohemia, which was effectively a political and informational periphery directed from Vienna, also functioned – thanks to its geographical position and other factors and despite unfavourable circumstances – as a kind of “information membrane”. In particular, this study explores the forms of cultural transfer between Bohemia (Prague) and its neighbouring Protestant regions in Germany, especially Saxony. In the late 18th18th century, religiously tolerant Saxony, with its educated court in Dresden, book fair, and university in Leipzig, functioned as a sui generis centre of Enlightenment in Central Europe. Moreover, it was where the canon of new literary and scientific German was taking shape. Saxony also mediated the transfer of new cultural models (and printed materials) from Great Britain and France to the German-speaking environment of Central Europe. Its peripheral position close to the border enabled a lively cultural transfer with neighbouring Bohemia, and active exchange of information. I believe this was one of the key factors that drove an accelerated “dynamics of Enlightenment” in the Czech environment during the last third of the 18th18th century. Contacts with the originally Lutheran Saxony were facilitated also by the Catholic conversion of Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, in 1697, which reinforced a symbiosis between the now Catholic court in Dresden and Lutheran university in Leipzig. I chose the historical region of Bohemia to illustrate the relationship between centre and periphery, and as a basis for discussing peripheries that can become centres. After all, many other examples can be found of a periphery that neighbours on an area which may serve to relativize its apparent marginality. The first part of the study is dedicated to more general observations about cultural transfer, especially in relation to the Enlightenment and the dichotomy of centre vs periphery. The second part focuses more concretely on relations between the Czech Lands and German Protestant regions, with emphasis on culture transfer between Bohemia (particularly Prague) and Saxony, (Leipzig and Dresden). This cultural exchange is presented using examples mainly from science, literature, and the book market.
Internal Control Systems and the Revenue Collection Performance among Local Government Authorities (LGA) in Tanzania
Authors: Hyera Dennis , Ndyetabula Daniel , Kadigi Michael
Published: February 2025

Local government authorities (LGAs) face significant challenges in revenue collection due to inadequate internal controls, leading to inefficiencies, fraud, and inconsistent reporting. This study investigates the effect of internal control systems on revenue collection performance within selected LGAs in Tanzania, namely Mbeya, Mwanza, and Manyara. Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 400 respondents across the three councils. Two Stage Least Square regressions were employed with the frequency of external audits as the instrument to control for endogeneity. The findings indicate that while certain internal control measures, such as financial record accuracy and internal audits, positively influence revenue effectiveness and reliability, challenges such as fraud and delayed reporting adversely affect revenue growth and operational efficiency. LGAs should enhance internal audit functions, improve financial record accuracy, strengthen fraud prevention, optimize reporting timelines, and enhance monitoring mechanisms through investment in technology and staff training. Policymakers should develop a standardized framework for internal controls, invest in technology infrastructure, encourage Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), and regularly review policies to ensure effective revenue collection in LGAs.
Topical tacrolimus versus dexamethasone in managing shield ulcer of vernal keratoconjunctivitis
Authors: Rastegar Rad Nima , Rastgarrad Nazanin
Published: February 2025

Background: Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a bilateral, chronic, allergic inflammation of the ocular surface with debilitating ocular signs and symptoms. We compared the efficacies and safeties of 1% tacrolimus eye drops and 1% dexamethasone eye drops in managing unilateral shield ulcers and corneal epitheliopathy secondary to VKC.
Methods: We recruited patients with unilateral shield ulcer and corneal epitheliopathy secondary to VKC in a tertiary referral center in southeast Iran during a 12-month period. All eligible patients underwent a detailed eye examination. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either topical tacrolimus 1% or dexamethasone 1% twice daily. We recorded the best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) in decimal notation, area of the shield ulcer in square millimeters, presence or absence of re-epithelialization, and clinical symptoms of watering, mucus discharge, photophobia, burning, redness, and itching, along with any potential complications at five follow-up visits during a period of four months.
Results: Thirty patients (30 eyes) were allocated to each treatment group. The groups had comparable mean ages and sex distributions (both P > 0.05). Both groups experienced a decreasing trend in frequencies of all symptoms, and at most follow-up visits, ocular symptoms were less frequent in the tacrolimus group than in the dexamethasone group, reaching statistically significant differences at some time points (all P < 0.05). No re-epithelialization was detected in either group at the second week post-treatment. However, an increasing trend was observed thereafter in both groups, with significantly more re-epithelialization in tacrolimus-treated eyes at the second and third months post-treatment (P < 0.05). Re-epithelialization remained significantly more frequent in tacrolimus-treated eyes one month after cessation of treatment (P < 0.05). The mean BCDVA was significantly better in tacrolimus-treated eyes than in the dexamethasone group at all follow-up visits (all P < 0.01). The mean shield ulcer size tended to decrease in both groups, with lesser numerical values in tacrolimus-treated eyes at the one-, two-, three-, and four-month follow-up visits. The difference reached statistical significance at the last two follow-up visits (both P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Topical tacrolimus is superior to topical dexamethasone with regard to symptoms, visual acuity, shield ulcer size, and corneal epitheliopathy associated with VKC. This suggests that tacrolimus could be administered as monotherapy for managing this debilitating ocular inflammatory condition. Further studies are required to determine the long-term safety and efficacy of this promising treatment modality.
Ocular Surface Disease Index questionnaire in different languages
Authors: Aljarousha Mohammed , Alghamdi Waleed M , Attaallah Sara , Alhoot Mohammed Abdelfatah
Published: February 2025

Background: The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire was first introduced and developed in 1997 by the Outcomes Research Group, and was adopted by Allergan, Inc. (Irvine, Goleta, CA). While several tools are available for evaluating dry eye syndrome (DES), the OSDI questionnaire is known to have high reliability and validity. Additionally, although more complex questionnaires are available, the goal of the OSDI is to ensure a rapid diagnosis of ocular surface disease. The OSDI consists of a 12-item questionnaire designed to assess the visual disability caused by DES. The OSDI score can range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disability. This language-inclusive mini-review aimed to provide an overview of previous studies that translated the OSDI into various languages and validated the translated versions.
Methods: OSDI validation studies were identified through a PubMed / MEDLINE and Google Scholar search spanning the 27 years since the establishment of the OSDI, using the broad term “Ocular Surface Disease Index-12 questions” and keywords that is “ocular surface disease index-12,” “translation and validation,” “transcultural validation,” “development,” “cross-cultural adaptation,” and “reliability and validity.” We included original studies that validated the translated version of the OSDI in various languages, presenting the key findings with a focus on reliability and repeatability outcomes.
Results: Thirteen full-text articles were thoroughly reviewed, including those identified through targeted keyword searches and the reference lists of these studies. The papers examined the translation of the English version of the OSDI-12 questionnaire into nine languages: Italian, Arabic, Chinese, Chilean Spanish, Japanese, Filipino, Farsi, Bahasa Melayu, and Brazilian Portuguese. Key details regarding the development, translation, and validation phases were summarized. Most of the included studies adhered to standard guidelines throughout the translation process to create a final version of the OSDI questionnaire. This was followed by clinical validation of the final translated version. The majority of the translated versions were assessed for internal consistency, reliability, test–retest repeatability, and discriminant validity.
Conclusions: The original English version of the OSDI was translated into validated versions to achieve a final version in nine different languages. The majority of the translated versions demonstrated high reproducibility and reliability. The different language versions of the questionnaire removed language barriers in informing the eye-care community, evaluating DES, and assisting physicians in advising and managing their patients more suitably. Therefore, the validated versions of OSDI can be used as tools for clinical practice and DES research. Validating the OSDI questionnaire in various languages is essential to eliminate the language barrier in the assessment of dry eye disease.

Multi-fidelity model assessment of climate change impacts on river water temperatures, thermal extremes and potential effects on cold water fish in Switzerland
Authors: Råman Vinnå Love , Bigler Vidushi , Schilling Oliver S. , Epting Jannis
Published: February 2025

Abstract. River water temperature is a key factor for water quality, aquatic life, and human use. Under climate change, inland water temperatures have increased and are expected to do so further, increasing the pressure on aquatic life and reducing the potential for human use. Here, future river water temperatures are projected for Switzerland based on a multi-fidelity modelling approach. We use 2 different, semi-empirical surface water temperature models, 22 coupled and downscaled general circulation- to regional climate models, future projections of river discharge from 4 hydrological models and 3 climate change scenarios (RCP2.6, 4.5, and 8.5). By grouping stream sections, catchments and spring-fed water courses under representative thermal regimes, and by employing hierarchical cluster-based thermal pattern recognition, an optimal model and model configuration was selected, model performance optimized and climate change impact assessment on river water temperatures improved. Results show that, until the end of the 21st century, average river water temperatures in Switzerland will likely increase by 3.1±0.7 °C (or 0.36±0.1 °C per decade) under RCP8.5, while under RCP2.6 the temperature increase may remain at 0.9±0.3 °C (0.12±0.1 °C per decade). Under RCP8.5, temperatures of rivers classified as being in the Alpine thermal regime will increase the most, that is, by 3.5±0.5 °C, followed by rivers of the Downstream Lake regime, 3.4±0.5 °C. A general decrease of river discharge in summer (-10 to -40 %) and increase in winter (+10 to +30 %), combined with a further increase in average near-surface air temperatures (0.5 °C per decade), bears the potential to not only result in overall warmer rivers, but also in prolonged periods of extreme summer river water temperatures. This dramatically increases the thermal stress potential for temperature sensitive aquatic species such as the brown trout in rivers where such periods occur already, but also rivers in where this previously was not a problem. By providing information of future water temperatures, the results of this study can guide managements climate mitigation efforts.

Abstract. Substantial methane (CH4) emissions in Asia are efficiently transported to the upper troposphere through the monsoon dynamical system, which forms a remarkable seasonal CH4 enhancement in the upper troposphere. Using a chemical transport model GEOS-Chem driven by surface optimized CH4 flux, the CH4 enhancement over the Asian monsoon region is explored as a combined effect of the monsoon dynamical system and regionally increased emissions during late monsoon season. The spatial distributions of CH4 at the upper troposphere show strong subseasonal variability, which is closely tied to the east-west oscillation of Asian monsoon anticyclone (AMA). Besides, the AMA patterns influence the vertical structure of methane. The AMA center around 80° E favors the upward transport from north India and Bangladesh while the AMA center around 105° E favors the source from southwest China transported to the upper troposphere. The AMA center over the Iranian Plateau suppresses the vertical transport and favors the horizontal redistribution. According to our model sensitivity study, the differences in the upper tropospheric CH4 anomalies caused by large-scale circulation is 1–2 times of that caused by regional surface emissions. Our research highlights the complex interaction between monsoon dynamics and surface emissions to determine the upper tropospheric methane.

Abstract. Systematic errors in dynamical climate models remain a significant challenge to accurate climate predictions, particularly when modeling the nonlinear coupling between the atmosphere and oceans. Despite notable advances in dynamical climate modeling that have improved our understanding of climate variability, these systematic errors can still degrade predictive skills. In this study, we adopt a twin experiment framework with a reduced-order coupled atmosphere-ocean model to explore the utility of machine learning in mitigating these errors. Specifically, we train a data-driven model on data assimilation increments to learn and emulate the underlying dynamical model error, which is then integrated with the dynamical model to form a hybrid system. Comparison experiments show that the hybrid model consistently outperforms the standalone dynamical model in predicting atmospheric and oceanic variables. Further investigation using hybrid models that correct only atmospheric or only oceanic errors reveals that atmospheric corrections are essential for improving short-term forecasts, while concurrently addressing both atmospheric and oceanic errors yields superior performance in long-term climate prediction.

Abstract. The variation in seasonal precipitation intensity impacts the dynamic interaction between the karst aquifer and stream. However, the interaction mechanism between the karst aquifer and stream is currently still unclear, and characterizing the impact of dynamic saturation process of groundwater in karst media on the interaction process remains a challenge. To delve into the impacts of varying precipitation intensities, different water retention models, multi-stage conduit arrangements, and multiple precipitation events on the interaction process between the karst aquifer and stream, this study employs the multiphase Darcy-Brinkman-Stokes equation to analyze the interaction process between the karst aquifer and stream. Additionally, the Phase Indicator Function is used to capture the dynamic changes in saturation levels of various media, and the Brooks-Corey (BC) and van Genuchten-Mualem (VGM) equations are employed to characterize the soil-properties of porous media. The results show that as the intensity of precipitation increases, the interaction process between the karst aquifer and stream becomes more complex, involving the synergistic recharge of multi-media and dynamic interactions with the karst aquifer. Discharges in both upper (PM I) and lower (PM Ⅱ) porous media rise with precipitation intensity, but PM Ⅱ shows a more significant increase and earlier peak discharge. Secondly, during the middle to late stages of precipitation, the discharge predicted by the BC model exceeds that of the VGM model. The multi-stage conduit arrangement significantly affects stream and karst conduit hydrology during heavy precipitation but has less impact on other media. Finally, multiple precipitation events with different intensities could affect the ease of recharge from media in different strata of the karst aquifer. The Darcy-Brinkman-Stokes model can effectively simulate the interaction process between the karst aquifer and stream under the influence of precipitation. It can accurately depict the two-phase interactive flow between various media controlled by the dynamic saturation process, and reveal the dynamic interaction process between karst aquifers affected by the epikarst, sinkholes, and conduits under infiltration recharge and stream. Meanwhile, it can precisely explain the processes of infiltration, overflow, and recession.
Verlust lokalisieren: Auf der Suche nach einem unvergänglichen Objekt in Aleppo
Authors: Masoud Zoya
Published: February 2025

Abstract. During the Syrian war, Aleppo was a focal point of intense warfare, where experiencing loss was the daily routine. Amidst this turmoil, various groups actively engaged at the front lines in East Aleppo, endeavouring to translocate cultural artifacts and document built heritage, in order to reconstruct the old city after the war. This paper examines how these individuals negotiated experiences of loss concerning the old city and the ensuing debates on reconstruction, both during the conflict and in exile. I argue that these individuals were in Aleppo in a state of exception, characterized by existential fear and the threat of arbitrary death. The activists sought to conceptualize and materialize a lasting legacy of the old town to contrast the high probability of their death. They strived to localize their grief, anxiety, and loss by subjectivizing the old city as an eternal object. Far away from Aleppo in their exile, their efforts to localize the loss continued.
