Authors: Baldaia Dias Vera , dos Santos Cardoso de Sá Cristina
Published: January 2024

Introdução: As disfunções do pavimento pélvico (DPP) afetam um terço da população de mulheres adultas, podendo ter um efeito profundo nas suas relações interpessoais, bem-estar psicológico e financeiro, vida sexual e condicionar o isolamento social e a redução significativa da sua qualidade de vida. Estas incluem, entre outras, a incontinência urinária (IU), a incontinência anal (IA) e o prolapso de órgão pélvico (POP). A literatura apresenta ausência de instrumentos para avaliação exclusiva do POP para o português europeu, assim como para a IA. Desse modo justifica-se a realização do estudo, para auxiliar a: estabelecer o diagnóstico de fisioterapia e prognóstico funcional, selecionar o melhor plano de tratamento e avaliar as mudanças no estado de saúde das utentes e mensurar os resultados da intervenção; Objetivos: traduzir e adaptar culturalmente o questionário EPIQ para o português europeu, e testar as suas propriedades psicométricas: validade de construto, de critério, diagnóstico e preditiva, fiabilidade e consistência interna; Material e Métodos: serão realizadas duas traduções independentes e a respetiva síntese, duas retrotraduções independentes e nova síntese, a qual será avaliada por um comité de especialistas. A versão obtida será submetida a um teste piloto em dois grupos de mulheres de 25 a 84 anos (um com DPP e outro sem DPP) e análise através de focus group. A versão final será aplicada a dois grupos de 50 mulheres com as características já referidas; Resultados: Espera-se que os resultados concordem com os da versão original: alfa de Cronbach de 0,91 (consistência interna), correlações de Spearman e Kappa (fiabilidade) de 0,7 ou superior para todas as perguntas e coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI) > 0,7 para todas as questões, valor preditivo negativo >87% (detetar ausência de DPP) e valor preditivo positivo >61% (detetar DPP) nos 4 domínios avaliados: IUE, bexiga hiperativa, IA e POP. Conclusões: O projeto foi delineado de forma cuidada e minuciosa pelo que se espera ser concluído com sucesso.

Published: January 2024

The implementation of Electronic Voting (eVoting) at the local level presents numerous advantages. It affords citizens the opportunity to participate in the planning and decision-making processes that directly affect their local communities. Furthermore, eVoting systems promote inclusivity and equality among the citizenry. Moreover, the adoption of eVoting can enhance transparency and subsequently bolster citizens' trust in their government. However, it is essential to underscore that the successful implementation of eVoting is a notably intricate endeavor. The primary objective of this paper is to investigate citizens' perceptions and attitudes regarding the implementation of eVoting in municipal elections. This research aims to ascertain the feasibility of introducing eVoting in municipal elections and to identify the key factors contributing to its successful implementation. To accomplish this, the findings of a study conducted between May and July of 2023, which involved the participation of residents of the Municipality of Thessaloniki are presented and analyzed. According to the findings, the eVoting paradigm, if all the necessary measures are taken and all the necessary conditions for its proper implementation are met, is an important and useful tool, which can promote e-Democracy and consequently democracy in local communities

Authors:   , Madlavu Phindiwe
Published: January 2024

Using a case study of the government department supply chain in the Eastern Cape, the proposed study examines the effects of late payments on suppliers' financial performance. It does this by giving foundation information, such as the nearness of the issue to be investigated, the goals for performing the research, the research objectives, and the questions to be replied to through the research and the research methodology. The research goes into detail, discussing the appropriate framework, the conceptual framework of SCM within the public sector in South Africa, noteworthiness and inspiration to research, and the research's confinements. It wraps up by laying out the research's system. The research used conceptual and theoretical reviews to understand the nature of the problem. Qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to determine how a late payment affects a supplier's financial performance. The data were analyzed using the latest SPSS software package. Convenience sampling was used. The population is 362 staff and the target sample consisted of 120 finance management and supply chain management department members and 70 chosen suppliers in the Eastern Cape Province. The study targeted a sample size of 190. The findings show that SCM has been fully deployed in all government agencies and that the SCM approach has been used to develop technologies, but the lack of swift payment is hindering their effectiveness. The study concluded that redesigning and integrating departmental procurement and finance training courses across departments to ensure strong SCM principles are implemented should be enforced. Moreover, there should be proper monitoring and evaluation of all tendering contracts because it affects service delivery. A well monitored contract process will ensure that the service providers complete their contracts as and when due. Also, it was concluded that most concerns in facilitating invoices are delays in submitting invoices by suppliers and submitting incomplete banking details by suppliers. Likewise, it is concluded from the findings of the study that there were contradictions in the information provided by suppliers at other times. Thus, the study recommends innovative policies that will enhance swift payments through automated invoicing and painstaking monitoring of processes for the supply chain department.

The economic crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic has made people unable to meet their basic daily needs. Social assistance, or social assistance, is a program offered by the government to underprivileged communities to support and improve the welfare of disadvantaged people. It is known that many social aids program implementations are not on target. Even judging from the latest data, there are still many double recorded and reach around 70% double data. From the existing problems, the AYO BANSOS application was designed to help implement social aid programs more quickly. The usability test results of the application, conducted with 20 respondents using the System Usability Scale (SUS) method, resulted in an average SUS score of 72, categorizing it as a "good" grade on the scale. This mobile-based recording can help in terms of administration because data is integrated online, so it can be easier and more transparent to be accessed by local governments and the public. In addition, there is also an online social aid program delivery feature that helps people make it easier to distribute social aid to local governments.

Published: January 2024

This study explores the application of Data Mining in deciphering consumer purchasing patterns at Tani Heritage Shop, a retailer specializing in agricultural products. Facing the challenge of managing a high volume of daily sales transactions, the shop often encounters difficulties in tracking which products are frequently purchased together. This lack of insight leads to a critical issue: popular products running out of stock unexpectedly. To address this, the research focuses on developing a product stock supply analysis system, utilizing the FP Growth Algorithm. The FP Growth Algorithm, a powerful tool in Data Mining, is employed to analyze sales transaction data and identify consumer purchasing trends, particularly products bought simultaneously. This approach is designed to provide insights into optimal stocking strategies, ensuring the availability of in-demand products. The research methodology involves applying the FP Growth Algorithm to model the product stock supply system, using specific sales data attributes. The results of this study are significant. By setting parameters such as a minimum support value of 30%, a confidence value of 70%, and targeting the highest lift ratio value of 3.67, the research successfully derives several key association rules from the FP Growth algorithm. These rules are instrumental in optimizing the product stock supply analysis system.

Published: January 2024

Indonesia's elections serve as a cornerstone of its democratic system, with the active participation of its citizens being of paramount importance. To bolster transparency and civic engagement during these elections, the SITUNG system (Election Result Information System) is employed for the tabulation of election results. However, the current tabulation process remains manual, potentially leading to data entry errors and a reduced accuracy of election outcomes. This research endeavor seeks to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of election result tabulation by employing the K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN) method for recognizing numeric patterns on Form C1, both independently and in combination with Connected Component Labeling (CCL). The K-NN method demonstrates a commendable 60.0% accuracy in recognizing numeric patterns from the original Form C1 data. However, when combined with CCL, the accuracy drops to 51.2%. This research makes a significant contribution by simplifying the tabulation process and improving the accuracy of election results in Indonesia through the application of the K-NN method. The technology is anticipated to fortify democracy by promoting a more transparent and participatory electoral process for the citizens.

The Papuan Sentani language is spoken in the city of Jayapura, Papua. The law states the need to preserve regional languages. One of them is by building an Indonesian-Sentani Papua translation machine. The problem is how to build a translation machine and what model to choose in doing so. The model chosen is Recurrent Neural Network – Gated Recurrent Units (RNN-GRU) which has been widely used to build regional languages in Indonesia. The method used is an experiment starting from creating a parallel corpus, followed by corpus training using the RNN-GRU model, and the final step is conducting an evaluation using Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU) to find out the score. The parallel corpus used contains 281 sentences, each sentence has an average length of 8 words. The training time required is 3 hours without using a GPU. The result of this research was that a fairly good BLEU score was obtained, namely 35.3, which means that the RNN-GRU model and parallel corpus produced sufficient translation quality and could still be improved.

Published: January 2024

The growth and development of the internet users have given Indonesia an opportunity to develop internet-based services, such as online travel agents (OTA). Along with this OTA development, conventional travel agents were declining. Many conventional travel agents have decided to switch to online travel agents. The emergence of new OTAs has also made OTAs competition more challenging. Thus, a lesson learned from the market leader OTA is expected to help new OTAs surviving the competition. This research uses the sentiment analysis method to understand consumers' perceptions towards OTA and uses the social network analysis method to recognize actors who play significant roles in the travel agent business network. Lastly, the marketing strategies of the major and well-known OTAs perceived by online consumers was analyzed. Using the data collected from three major OTAs social media network (i.e., Traveloka, Tiket, and Booking), it was found that the general impression of consumers towards OTA is a positive sentiment. Furthermore, each key actor for each OTAs can be recognized. Lastly, marketing strategies can be proposed, namely by providing the complete product offerings, provide competitive price, creating special promos for consumers, promotion to be carried out on all social media using Bahasa Indonesia, and make the products offered available throughout Indonesia and can be used by everyone, especially travelers.

Development of pedestrian collision avoidance strategy based on the fusion of Markov and social force models
Authors: Tang Bin , Yang Zhengyi , Jiang Haobin , Hu Zitian
Published: January 2024

Abstract. In urban traffic, accurate prediction of pedestrian trajectory and advanced collision avoidance strategy can effectively reduce the collision risk between intelligent vehicles and pedestrians. In order to improve the prediction accuracy of pedestrian trajectory and the safety of collision avoidance, a longitudinal and lateral intelligent collision avoidance strategy based on pedestrian trajectory prediction is proposed. Firstly, the process of a pedestrian crossing the road is considered as a combination of free motion described by first-order Markov model and the constrained motion presented by improved social force model. The predicted pedestrian trajectory is obtained by weighted fusion of the trajectories of the two models with a multiple linear regression algorithm. Secondly, according to the predicted pedestrian trajectory and time to collision (TTC) the longitudinal and lateral collision avoidance strategy is designed. The improved artificial potential field method is used to plan the lateral collision avoidance path in real time based on the predicted pedestrian position, and a fuzzy controller is constructed to obtain the desired deceleration of the vehicle. Finally, the pedestrian motion fusion model and the longitudinal and lateral collision avoidance strategy are verified by Prescan and Simulink co-simulation. The results show that the average displacement error (ADE) and final displacement error (FDE) of pedestrian trajectory based on pedestrian motion fusion model are smaller compared with a Markov model and improved social force model, and the proposed pedestrian collision avoidance strategy can effectively achieve longitudinal and lateral collision avoidance.
Preliminary Insights into JWH182: a Synthetic Cannabinoid’s Neuroprotective Role Against Paclitaxel-Induced Neuronal Toxicity
Authors: Cernătescu Mălina Maria , Creangă-Murariu Ioana , Tamba Bogdan Ionel
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), a frequently encountered consequence of neurotoxic chemotherapy, affects approximately 30 to 40% of patients. Taxanes are associated with an exceptionally high incidence of peripheral neuropathy, with Paclitaxel (PTX) accounting for approximately 70,8% of CIPN cases. Patient’s symptoms are severe, compelling oncologists to consider dosage reduction or even complete abandonment of the treatment plan. Several recent studies have shown the potential efficacy of either synthetic, endogenous or phytocannabinoids in alleviating CIPN symptoms. In case of in vitro studies, neural protection can be assessed by measuring the axon length of the cultured neurons. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate whether the synthetic cannabinoid JWH182 could emerge as a promising new candidate for managing Paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy, in case of an in vitro neural model.
METHODS: Primary neuronal cultures were obtained from mouse-derived dorsal root ganglia (DRG) explants. The harvested ganglia were subjected to a series of enzymatic and mechanical dissociating processes, followed by a density-gradient centrifugation to isolate neurons, which were then seeded in Poly-D-Lysine coated 6-well plates and incubated for 24h. Thereafter, cells were exposed to an equal parts solution of 20 uM JWH182 and 1uM PTX. As a means of comparison, the neurons from the positive control group were exclusively exposed to a 1uM PTX solution, whereas the negative control group was left untreated. Photographs of the neurons were taken before the treatment and subsequently at 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours, with a particular focus on observing changes in axon length and cell viability.
RESULTS: Unlike our positive control group, which displayed noticeable adverse effects on axon length, the sample treated with both PTX and JWH182 presented more promising outcomes. To be precise, there was a less important reduction in axon length at all time points following drug administration. In the meantime, the negative control exhibited no changes, maintaining a typical morphology and rate of axonal growth.
CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the synthetic cannabinoid JWH182 confers a protective effect on DRG neurons treated with Paclitaxel. As a result, this compound holds the potential to emerge as a novel treatment option for managing Paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy. This could lead to the alleviation of symptoms in oncological patients, thereby enhancing their quality of life and their overall disease prognosis. Ultimately, these initial results lay the foundation for subsequent in vitro and in vivo experiments, aimed at validating our hypothesis.

BACKGROUND: Primary health care is in charge of identifying and managing risks. This identification is made through consultation with the application of screening in order to provide education, risk monitoring and make effective interventions in consultation. The objective was to identify the behavior of mortality from cardiovascular diseases in Colombia and Risaralda, from 1998 to 2015.
METHODS: National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE) death certificates were used from 1998 to 2015, with this a database was created and a data analysis program was carried out in time when they do not follow a time series. The most adjusted model was the LOESS regression or close regression model that was run in R.
RESULTS: Mortality from hypertension, acute myocardial infarction and stroke has increased in recent years in Colombia and Risaralda, while mortality from heart failure has decreased. Regarding diabetes mellitus, it increased in Colombia, but decreased in Risaralda.
CONCLUSION: Mortality due to cardiovascular diseases is for the same causes, therefore, greater emphasis should be placed on their prevention and screening. Clinical practice guidelines should be extended beyond the goals and focus more on these preventive strategies.

Imágenes de la comunidad a partir de Nietzsche
Authors: Buñuel Fanconi Darío
Published: January 2024

El presente artículo explora la idea de la comunidad en Nietzsche. Esta idea no es fácilmente delimitable en su filosofía, lo que consideramos una característica buscada intencionadamente en su escritura. Lo que proponemos, por tanto, son imágenes de la comunidad a partir de Nietzsche, interpretaciones posibles de lo que la comunidad podría ser pensada desde su filosofía. Todas estas imágenes tienen características que atentan contra la concepción común de la comunidad. No se pretende en el presente artículo zanjar la cuestión sino avivar la lectura y la imaginación de los futuros intérpretes de Nietzsche.

Los nombres que hemos dado a nuestras imágenes son: la comunidad landaueriana, el freak-show, la fiesta, la comunidad fracasada y la comunidad humano-animal.
Del gift al gibt: Derivas y enlaces entre Donner le temps I y II
Authors: Da Lowry Santiago Cane
Published: January 2024

Este texto se propone aportar algunas perspectivas y claves de lectura de la primera parte del seminario Donner le temps I, publicado en 1991, en el contexto de la aparición, en 2021, de su segunda parte, inédita hasta entonces y largamente esperada por la comunidad lectora. No tiende un puente, por así decir, entre las dos partes, sino que aborda la formulación aporética del don por parte de Derrida en dicha primera parte, con la pretensión de que pueda ser releída tanto en el marco de una recuperación del interés por este seminario, ahora completo, como de una aproximación algo más específica a las complejidades del trabajo deconstructivo y del rol que juegan, en ambos aspectos, las nociones de porvenir e imposibilidad. Asimismo, se busca llamar la atención sobre las estrategias que Derrida utiliza para lidiar con las aporías del don, trazando relaciones con el perdón, siempre sobre la pista de los efectos deconstructivos que provoca la equiparación de posibilidad e imposibilidad en la comprensión del porvenir que defiende Derrida.
Un endeudamiento sin deuda, un deber sin ley. El don y el perdón en los seminarios de Jacques Derrida
Authors: Quintana Domínguez Idoia
Published: January 2024

El don y el perdón piden ser pensados más allá de una lógica de la deuda y de la retribución. Para que haya don, el círculo económico regido por un dar y devolver debe ser interrumpido; para que haya perdón, debe mantenerse la distancia insalvable entre el daño a perdonar y el perdón pedido o concedido. Jacques Derrida plantea esta exigencia como necesaria y al mismo tiempo como imposible. Seguiremos este planteamiento en tres partes, correspondientes a tres lugares clave en los que el perdón aparece en los trabajos de Derrida sobre el don: en primer lugar, presentaremos la estructura aporética que comparten el don y el perdón (imposibles para ser posibles), pero también la ruptura de la analogía entre uno y otro para pensar un perdón anterior al don; en segundo lugar, veremos el carácter de pervertibilidad del don y del perdón a través de la moneda falsa y del perjurio, necesarios y no meros accidentes evitables; por último, seguiremos el análisis que hace Derrida de la Schuldigsein heideggeriana como planteamiento ontológico de un endeudamiento sin deuda y de un deber sin ley.

Mục tiêu: Phân tích các yếu tố ảnh hưởng và mức độ tác động của các phương án giữ chân đến quyết định lựa chọn làm việc của các bác sĩ tại tuyến xã.

Phương pháp: Khảo sát trực tiếp với 118 bác sĩ đang làm việc tại trạm y tế (TYT) xã ở Tuyên Quang và Thái Bình, trong thời gian tháng 5/2023. Ứng dụng phương pháp thử nghiệm lựa chọn rời rạc để phân tích tác động của các phương án giữ chân bác sĩ do nghiên cứu đề xuất.

Kết quả: Thu nhập là yếu tố ưu tiên hàng đầu khi lựa chọn nơi làm việc của các bác sĩ, trong đó tăng phụ cấp ưu đãi nghề là phương án hiệu quả nhất. Tỷ lệ bác sĩ lựa chọn làm việc tại TYT xã khi áp dụng mức phụ cấp ưu đãi nghề 100% và 140% lần lượt là 95,8% và 98,2%. Khi không có khuyến khích về tăng thu nhập, 74,8% bác sĩ chọn làm việc tại TYT xã nếu được đảm bảo điều kiện làm việc về trang thiết bị và thuốc; trong khi đó có 58,4% lựa chọn làm việc nếu hỗ trợ mức đóng bảo hiểm y tế cho người thân.

Kết luận: Như vậy, các chính sách giữ chân cán bộ y tế cần được rà soát và cân nhắc đến những phương án này nhằm đảm bảo nguồn nhân lực cho tuyến y tế cơ sở (YTCS) cũng như để kiện toàn mạng lưới y tế ở Việt Nam.

Gây tê tủy sống (GTTS) là phương pháp vô cảm chủ yếu trong phẫu thuật chi dưới.

Mục tiêu: Đánh giá hiệu quả xử trí tụt huyết áp của phenylephrin so với ephedrin sau gây tê tủy sống để phẫu thuật cấp cứu chấn thương chi dưới.

Đối tượng và phương pháp nghiên cứu: Đây là nghiên cứu thử nghiệm lâm sàng có đối chứng trên 60 bệnh nhân có chỉ định phẫu thuật chi dưới được chia vào 2 nhóm sử dụng Ephedrin và Phenylephrin tại Trung tâm Gây mê hồi sức, Bệnh viện Hữu nghị Việt Đức.

Kết quả: 100% bệnh nhân ở cả 2 nhóm nghiên cứu đều đạt mức phong bế T6. 13,3% bệnh nhân ở nhóm Ephedrin tụt huyết áp 20% so với huyết áp nền, tỷ lệ này ở nhóm Phenylephrin là 10,0%. Số lần điều trị tình trạng tụt huyết áp bằng Ephedrin trung bình là 1,1±0,3 lần còn ở nhóm Phenylephrin là 1,3±0,6 lần. Tổng số bệnh nhân có tác dụng phụ ở nhóm Ephedrin thấp hơn đáng kể so với nhóm Phenylephrin (16,6% so với 40,0%, p<0,05).

Kết luận: Hiệu quả điều trị tụt huyết áp của Ephedrin và Phenylephrin trên bệnh nhân gây tê tủy sống để phẫu thuật chấn thương chi dưới tương đương với nhau. Sử dụng Phenylephrin sẽ giúp giảm tỷ lệ tác dụng không mong muốn ở các bệnh nhân phẫu thuật chi dưới.
