Published: February 2025

The convergence of big data and AI has transformed supply chain management, enabling organizations to operate with efficiency and adaptability. Big data delivers vast amounts of real-time information from diverse sources, including customer orders, supplier details, and market trends, while AI processes this data to identify patterns and make predictive analyses that optimize inventory management, forecast demand, and enhance logistics. This synergy empowers supply chain managers to make proactive decisions, reducing delays and stockouts, while supporting just-in-time inventory practices that align supply levels with consumer demand. In parallel, big data has reshaped marketing by providing deep insights into consumer behaviors and preferences, allowing for the development of tailored marketing strategies that enhance customer experiences. Despite the wealth of literature, there remains a gap in comprehensive studies that integrate its implications for personalized marketing, ethical considerations, and technical challenges.
Impact of Circular Economy on Supply Chain Management
Authors: Eddine El Moussaoui Alaa
Published: February 2025

This chapter focuses on the integration of the circular economy (CE) into supply chain management (SCM), a topic that is scarcely addressed in the literature. Its exploratory nature leads the author to study two company cases. The author conducted a qualitative case study by interviewing 16 persons working in the companies X and Y. Three main findings emerge from the empirical analysis. Firstly, the business ecosystem is a prerequisite for the development of practices related to the circular economy. Secondly, CE practices modify the studied SCs to varying degrees. And thirdly, CE practices impact the performance of the supply chain. The chapter has many implications. In terms of theory, it contributes significantly to completing the theoretical survey on the integration of the circular economy in supply chain management. On the other hand, these findings help companies wishing to restructure their supply chains, and public authorities that want to formulate policies and implement strategies leading to more sustainable urban environments.

Authors: Vhatkar Kapil , Davda Yatri , Singh Aman Prakash
Published: February 2025

Deepfakes, driven by advanced generative AI models like GANs and VAEs, create highly realistic synthetic media, ranging from manipulated faces and voices to entirely fabricated videos. Originally developed for creative expression and entertainment, deepfakes now raise significant concerns, including political manipulation, privacy violations, and the spread of false information. This chapter delves into the technology behind deepfakes, exploring the models, techniques, and tools used to produce them, while also examining emerging detection methods designed to identify such synthetic content. As research continues to address the risks of deepfakes, the chapter also considers broader societal implications, such as the erosion of trust in media and public discourse. It tackles deeper ethical issues around deception, consent, and the blurred lines between reality and fabrication. By analyzing evolving legal frameworks and real-world case studies, the chapter advocates for a balanced approach to harnessing deepfake technology responsibly, ensuring its benefits outweigh its potential harms.

Exploring Social Media's Role in Counseling
Authors: Thandayuthapani S.
Published: February 2025

Social media is increasingly becoming more significant in therapy, especially with regards to how it improves privacy, accessibility, and the general usefulness of mental health support. As digital tools become widespread, they open up new ways of reaching a wide range of people, lower shame, and give people quick access to resources. However, as it has problems, such as being concerned about data privacy, being bounded by morals, and making sure that material being distributed is correct, utilizing social media for mental health services has been a challenge in this modern age. This study would therefore discuss the two negative effects of social media for counselling: good effects - outreach to the underserved, and bad effects- privacy issues in the online front and quality of help. This study helps us learn more about social media's promise as a tool for safe, easy-to-reach, and successful mental health treatments in the digital age by looking at both the pros and cons.

Authors: Ratnayake R. M. W. S. , Siriwardhana H. M. T. I.
Published: February 2025

Background: Disease notification is a crucial element of the notifiable disease surveillance system and plays a pivotal role in disease prevention and control. The routine surveillance system in Sri Lanka currently tracks over 25 medical conditions and is legally mandated to notify the health authorities. Notably, public tertiary health-care providers carry a substantial burden owing to the daily influx of communicable diseases, underscoring their crucial role in disease notification. However, the performance of disease notifications in tertiary care hospitals in Sri Lanka is not well understood. Objective: This study aimed to assess the performance of a communicable disease notification process in a selected tertiary healthcare facility in Sri Lanka.Methods: A mixed-method descriptive study approach was employed in a selected tertiary health care setting. The disease notification percentages in the ten most common communicable diseases cared for and notified from the 1st of January 2023 to the 30th of June 2023 were quantitatively assessed using the data gathered from hospital records. Performance was categorized as high, medium, or low, based on expert opinions. Empirical data on gaps in unsatisfactory notification performance were gathered via Focus Group Discussions and Key Informant Interviews. A thematic analysis was performed, and the causes of underperformance were revealed. Root causes were analyzed, and the most vital causes were identified through Pareto analysis. Suitable interven-tions were selected to address these causes.Results: Among the 2368 diagnosed notifiable diseases, 64.4% (n = 1526) were diagnosed with dengue fever. Alarmingly, the notification percentages of seven out of ten diseases were low.  On average, 53.5% (n = 1266) of the total notifiable diseases were reported to the system, indicating medium performance. Key factors contrib-uting to this were insufficient knowledge and awareness among the healthcare staff regarding notification, gaps in monitoring, and lack of feedback.Conclusions and Recommendations: The performance of communicable disease notifications in the selected tertiary healthcare facility was unsatisfactory. Mechanisms that sustainably enhance knowledge and awareness of notification, monitoring, and feedback can improve the situation.
Inadequate Efficacy of Remimazolam in Chinese Female Patients without Preoperative Benzodiazepine Exposure: A Report of Two Cases
Authors: Hsieh Min-Lun , Lai Meng-Fu , Cheng Kuang-I , Wu Zhi-Fu
Published: February 2025

Remimazolam, a gamma-aminobutyric acid subtype A receptor agonist, serves as a benzodiazepine (BZD) anesthetic in monitored anesthesia care and general anesthesia. We present two cases in which patients not receiving regular BZD therapy maintained consciousness following the administration of remimazolam during monitored anesthesia care. Subsequent transition to propofol infusion successfully achieved adequate sedation. Our experience indicates that remimazolam efficacy may be influenced by factors other than prior BZD use. Variables, such as age, sex, and race, remain unclear in their impact. Alternative agents, such as propofol and ketamine, should be considered when remimazolam fails to achieve adequate sedation.

Authors: Yang Gui-Hua , Wan Tu-Er , Song Hui-Ping , Song Hui-Wen
Published: February 2025

A 27-year-old man presented with a cough and progressive limb weakness. Initially diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, he showed improvement in his cough after antituberculosis treatment (ATT). However, he subsequently developed worsening weakness and numbness in his lower limbs, leading to mobility loss and difficulty swallowing. A comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, including computed tomography of the lung, cranial magnetic resonance imaging, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and electromyography, confirmed concurrent diagnoses of tuberculosis (TB) and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Treatment included immunoglobulin and corticosteroid therapy; however, his symptoms persisted, progressing to respiratory failure that required endotracheal intubation and plasma exchange therapy. After these interventions, his condition gradually improved, and he continued ATT, achieving a favorable recovery. A literature review identified 15 countries reporting cases of GBS associated with TB, with the highest incidence in India. Although most cases showed a positive prognosis, mortality rates were elevated in patients with comorbid TB and GBS compared to those with GBS alone.

Background: Dermatophytoses, commonly known as “ringworm”, are superficial fungal infections that affect the skin, hair, and nails.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical features of dermatophyte infection and identify the causative fungal species by direct microscopic examination and mycological culture.

Methods: The study was conducted over one year and included patients of both sexes and different ages. Scrapings were taken from skin, hair, and nails. Collected samples were subjected to KOH 10% to detect fungal elements. Additionally, mycological cultures were performed on modified Sabouraud’s dextrose liquid media incubated at room temperature for 1 to 6 weeks, then examined microscopically to identify fungi at the species level.

Results: In this study, a total of 100 patients were included, with a mean age of 30.29 ± 16.00 years. Fifty-six percent (56%) of the patients were female, and sixty-two percent (62%) of the patients resided in urban areas. T. corporis was observed in forty-six patients (46.0%), followed by T. cruris, which was present in twenty-three patients. The majority of patients (85.0%) presented with a non/ minimal inflammatory type. Trichophyton rubrum was the most commonly found, accounting for thirty-three cases (45.8%), this was followed by Epidermophyton floccosum (26.3%) and Trichophyton mentagrophytes (16.7%). The majority of tinea corporis cases were caused by Trichophyton rubrum, while tinea cruris cases were mostly caused by Epidermophyton floccosum. It was noted that most cases of Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum presented with a non/ minimal inflammatory character. Microsporum gallinae, a species rarely isolated in our country, was presented in two patients with tinea capitis in this study, accounting for 2.8% of cases.

Conclusion: Trichophyton rubrum an anthropophilic fungi was the most common isolated species. Anthropophilic infections are often epidemic in nature. Therefore, implementing preventive measures is crucial to restrict spread of infection.

Introduction: To gain a healthy lifestyle, several physical active people do popular sports such as basketball, as their hobby. However, the different physiological responses between athletes and recreational players have not yet been understood.
Objective: This study aims to analyze differences of antioxidants, free radical, inflammation, and muscle damage markers between professional athletes and recreational basketball players.
Methodology: The subjects were professional athletes (PA, n=10) and recreational basketball players (RP, n=10). All subjects performed 5x5 basketball. The heart rate (HR) during the game was recorded. Glutathione peroxidase (GPX), F2-isoprostane, C-reactive protein (CRP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were analyzed.
Results: It showed the PA had lower HRmax compared to RP group (p=0.001), while blood markers level between PA and RP groups was insignificant difference (p≥0.05). However, the CRP of professional athletes tended to decrease after the game, while the RP group had a small increase after 1 hour. Both groups showed a transient decrease in LDH after 1 hour. Interestingly, 1 hour after the games, RP experienced a slight decrease of F2-isoprostane level, while PA underwent a small decrease of GPX level.
Conclusions: The professional athletes have better cardiovascular endurance. However, after 1 hour of the game, LDH, CRP, F2-IsoPs, and GPX seem similar in both groups. It indicates that recreational players have a good benefit as active people. Even though, the level trend of the markers in professional athletes is superior to recreational players. Nevertheless, further investigation is still needed to figure out the physiological response mechanism with more complete markers.

Objective: This study aims to measure the influence of nursing skills on patients' physical rehabilitation by implementing PFCC-based bedside handover.
Methodology: The research on developing a PFCC-based bedside handover model was conducted on the physical rehabilitation of patients in the Inpatient Ward of the Tgk Chik Di Tiro Sigli Regional General Hospital in Pidie Regency, Aceh Province. The population in this study consisted of nurses working in the inpatient ward of the Tgk Chik Di Tiro Regional General Hospital, namely 155 nurses and 155 patients. The study was conducted from March to June 2024.
Results: Research results show that factor nurses do not influence the implementation of PFCC-based bedside handover through age, type of gender, level of education, knowledge, and experience. On the other hand, the factors that influence the implementation of PFCC-based bedside handover are age, type of gender, level of dependency, and space care. Skill factor carries out an influential handover to implementation of PFCC-based bedside handover through the ability to communicate with effective, mastery termination nursing, accommodation record medical, analysis patients and procedures clinic. System factors are influential in implementing PFCC-based bedside handover through policy, standards, operational procedures, infrastructure, and documentation.
Conclusions: PFCC-based bedside handover factors have an impact on the implementation of PFCC-based bedside handover through integration between preparation, introduction, exchange of information, and involvement of the patient when the bedside handover takes place with dignity or respect to the patient, sharing information, participation, and collaboration, which are component from PFCC.
Zoneamento da área potencialmente produtiva e recomendação de espécies para plantio florestal comercial na orinoquia colombiana
Authors:   , Souza Juliana Pinheiro Neves
Published: February 2025

A Orinoquia colombiana apresenta vasta extensão de terras disponível para desenvolvimento econômico da região. Entre as atividades presentes, observa-se pequenos núcleos florestais comerciais. Visando identificar as condições favoráveis para impulsionar o desenvolvimento de florestas com fins comerciais na Orinoquia, esse trabalho avaliou os aspectos de solo, áreas florestais produtivas e a base socioeconômica. O que possibilitou estimar as áreas produtivas de cada estado da Orinoquia e potencial produtivo para um povoamento de Eucalyptus clonal e Pinus, utilizando a metodologia 3-PG. Pode-se considerar que existem dois núcleos florestais como Meta-Casanare e Vichada. O núcleo produtivo de Meta-Casanare é mais desenvolvido, no entanto, a região de Vichada apresenta condições atrativas para implementação de florestas, devido a sua vasta área de planície, desde que associado a tratos de manejo adequados e material genético adaptado. A atividade florestal foi identificada e existe uma alta oferta de terras, o maior desafio é a logística, já que Vichada é o estado à extremo leste da Colômbia, com baixa infraestrutura para acesso. Não foi identificado no departamento de Arauca núcleo florestal robusto. Quanto a recomendação de plantios, foram selecionados clones de Eucalyptus sp. e Corymbia sp nas áreas potencialmente produtivas de modo geral, para as áreas alagadas foi indicado o plantio do gênero Bambu. O estudo foi apoiado pelo “Projeto BioCarbono Orinoquia: Paisagens Sustentáveis de Baixo Carbono” é um projeto da Iniciativa Paisagens Florestais Sustentáveis (ISFL) do Fundo Biocarbono do Banco Mundial. Na Colômbia, o projeto é coordenado pelo Ministério da Agricultura e Desenvolvimento Rural, Ministério do Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento Sustentável e Instituto de Hidrologia, Meteorologia e Estudos Ambientais (IDEAM).

Published: February 2025

O Ligamento Cruzado Anterior (LCA) é um dos mais importantes ligamentos para a estabilidade do joelho, que tem como função a restrição primária para a translação anterior da tíbia relativa ao fêmur e ação como restritor secundário à rotação externa e interna do joelho. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo correlacionar a maior prevalência de lesões de LCA em atletas do sexo feminino com esportes de equipe. O presente artigo consiste em uma revisão de literatura baseada nos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS/MESH), aplicados na plataforma de Pesquisa Avançada da base de dados PubMed, para os últimos 5 anos (2019-2024). De acordo com os respectivos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram selecionados 124 artigos, dos quais apenas 6 foram utilizados. As lesões de LCA são comuns em esportes de equipe, devido à necessidade de movimentos rápidos de mudança de direção e outros padrões de movimento que favorecem tal lesão. Notadamente, as lesões de LCA são quantitativamente maiores em atletas do sexo feminino, quando comparadas aos atletas do sexo masculino. Os esportes de equipe favorecem uma maior prevalência de lesões do LCA em atletas do sexo feminino devido a particularidades biomecânicas, genéticas e hormonais. Ademais, essas atletas podem sofrer prejuízos de performance após lesão de LCA, além do risco de lesionar novamente os joelhos ipsilateral e contralateral.
