There are labor risks in the process of work and employment, which are especially evident in hiring, day-to-day management and the conclusion of an employment contract. The risk factor is relatively high, therefore, it is necessary to strictly regulate labor and employment in order to prevent and eliminate labor and employment risks. At the same time, it will also help to avoid labor disputes or falling into the sphere of labor arbitration and litigation. Based on this, the article will consider the prospect of employment contracts as a starting point, with an emphasis on labor risks and appropriate strategies for their prevention.
METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF IMPLEMENTING THE POLICY OF INTERVENTION IN THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS OF THE STATE. PART 4.2.

The article substantiates the possibility of using indicators and criteria for assessing the implementation of the policy of intervention in the internal affairs of the state. The political guidelines of the Washington NATO summit determine the possibility of interference by NATO member states in the internal affairs of Russia, China, Belarus and other countries of the world. At the same time, NATO member states already use an extensive toolkit for interfering in the internal political affairs of foreign states. This makes it relevant to develop a Methodology for Assessing the Effectiveness of the Implementation of the Policy of Intervention in the Internal Affairs of a State. The indicators of the implementation of the policy of intervention in the internal affairs of a state may be: restrictions on its independence (sovereignty); restrictions on freedom; inhibition of normal political development; inhibition of normal economic development; inhibition of normal social development; as well as inhibition of the normal cultural development of this state. The criteria for assessing the implementation of the policy of intervention in the internal affairs of a state may include rules for assessing the values of such indicators in accordance with the implemented restrictions of its independence (sovereignty) and freedom; as well as inhibition of its normal political, economic, social and cultural development.

Insights from a population grid of South Africa: An applied spatial satellite data analysis
Authors: Kleynhans Ewert P.J. , Coetzee Clive Egbert
Published: October 2024

The present study explores the reliability and accuracy of various spatial mapping methodologies in estimating and presenting the spatial characteristic and dynamics (location, distribution, density, and size) of the population in South Africa. As a basic underlying concept, the study first explores spatial heterogeneity, that is, that every location is related to every other location, and those nearby are related stronger. This study, therefore, illustrates the spatial relationships between locations and the spatial pattern of the population in South Africa. Analyzing the spatial images determines the extent of such influence and the nature of the spatial patterns. To this end, a granular gridded population dataset was derived using satellite image data, and the NASA’s Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center gridded population of the world version 4 population images and datasets were used. Several spatial data models and geostatistical applications were applied to study the spatial characteristics and dynamics of the population of South Africa from 2000 to 2020. Spatial analysis was performed using R-Studio, QGIS, and GeoDa. Among others, the results point to the fact that the South African population is very densely located that population density decreases marginally outward and suggests that the underlying process for the population distribution is stationary. This study proposes that it is indeed possible to reliably and accurately estimate and present gridded population images and datasets using spatial and geostatistical methodologies.
Adverse childhood experiences and myocardial infarction: Analysis of United States Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data
Authors: Schoeneck Kelsey , Wong Roger
Published: October 2024

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been linked to an increased risk of disease in adulthood and a range of other negative health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aims to build on previous research on ACEs and CVD by investigating the association between ACEs and heart attack or myocardial infarction diagnosis. Our analysis used cross-sectional data from the 2021 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) annual survey and ACE Module questionnaires. Responses included data from a national sample of 52,492 adults aged 18 years or older in the United States. ACEs value is a composite score of physical, emotional and sexual abuse, household dysfunction, neglect, and other childhood traumas. The study population had a mean number of 1.75 ACEs (SD 2.25), with 61% experiencing at least one ACE and 17% experiencing four or more ACEs. Almost 6% of adults in the sample reported a previous myocardial infarction (5.7%). Multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that, after adjusting for a variety of sociodemographic and health covariates, every one-event increase in the number of ACEs was significantly associated with 6% increased odds of myocardial infarction in adulthood (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.04 – 1.09, p <0.001). Efforts to decrease the incidence of myocardial infarction and reduce cardiac-related mortality in the U.S. should include policies that reduce the occurrence of ACEs and provide resources for adults to address their childhood traumas.

Authors: Shan Limei
Published: October 2024

This paper explores the impact of AI applications in adaptive learning on learners with varying levels of Chinese proficiency and diverse learning needs. The study investigates the robustness of VR technology in enhancing Chinese oral proficiency and pragmatic skills among 1st year and 2nd year learners. It compares the established VR app Mondly with Uptale, an Immersive VR authoring platform, focusing on AI-based voice recognition and analysis features. Additionally, it compares the adaptability of the Uptale VR platform with Mondly by analyzing factors such as difficulty adjustments, interactive features, learner engagement, and support for learner autonomy. It was found that VR technology, in general, enhances the Chinese learning experience. Uptale’s additional features extend its potential utility in student assessment. These features include custom learning modules that incorporate students' self-shot 360-degree videos and interactive elements, such as multiple-choice questions, audio prompts, speaking/recording tags, feedback mechanisms, and analysis reports.
Supply chain coordination and decision-making under revenue sharing and cost-revenue sharing contracts with returns
Authors: Bieniek Milena , Szapiro Tomasz
Published: October 2024

The increasing prevalence of product returns poses challenges for businesses, the environment, and society. Efficient returns systems need to be developed. This article addresses the issue by presenting a game-theoretical modeling approach to optimize pricing and ordering decisions in supply chain contracts between manufacturers and retailers. Revenue-sharing and cost-revenue-sharing contracts are investigated in conjunction with two returns-handling strategies: one performed by the manufacturer and the other by the retailer. As a result, four distinct contract scenarios are derived. In each scenario, the manufacturer-leader and the retailer-follower engage in a Stackelberg game. Optimal solutions are obtained for the models. In addition, it has been shown that the supply chain can be coordinated if the manufacturer shares the revenue and returns handling costs with the retailer. Numerical analyses are conducted to illustrate the theoretical results.
Does a meta-combining method lead to more accurate forecasts in the decision-making process?
Authors: Gulay Emrah , Aras Serkan
Published: October 2024

To improve forecasting accuracy, researchers employed various combination techniques for a long time. When researchers deal with time series data by using dissimilar models, the combined forecasts of these models are expected to be superior. Deriving a weighting scheme performing better than simple but hard−to−beat combining methods has always been challenging. In this study, a new weighting method based on the hybridisation of combining algorithms is proposed. Five popular datasets were utilised to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in an out-of-sample context. The results indicate that the proposed method leads to more accurate forecasts than other combining techniques used in the study.
Analysing and forecasting the energy consumption of healthcare facilities in the short and medium term. A case study
Authors: Koç Ali , Seçkiner Serap Ulusam
Published: October 2024

Healthcare facilities consist of multiple large buildings with complex energy systems and high energy consumption, resulting in high carbon emissions. The increasing trend in energy consumption of these facilities and the process of selecting an energy supplier from the open market requires reliable and robust energy forecasting studies. This situation calls for the use of reliable and accurate energy consumption prediction models for the energy needs of healthcare buildings. The aim of this study is to present a prediction framework based on historical energy consumption at different time intervals using six supervised regression algorithms, three linear single, one non-linear single and two non-linear ensembles. The approach adopted for predicting hospital energy consumption involves five steps: data acquisition, data pre-processing, data prediction, hyper-parameter optimisation and feature analysis. Furthermore, all regression algorithms have undergone hyper-parameter optimisation using random search, grid search and Bayesian optimisation to achieve the minimum prediction errors represented by different metrics. The results displayed that the two ensemble models, Extreme Gradient Boosting and Random Forest, outperformed single models in hourly, daily, and monthly energy load prediction. Nevertheless, when considering the computational time for all regression models, the single models have better computational times, although the error metrics are not as good as for the ensemble models. In addition, grid search and Bayesian optimisation performed better than random search in finding optimal hyperparameter values for all datasets. Finally, thanks to feature importance analysis, the most influential features under the hourly, daily, and monthly electrical and monthly natural gas prediction were identified.

Authors: Kamenwa-Waweru Susan , Kamara Mary , Kyule Alexander , Gitari James
Published: October 2024

Employee turnover undermines the achievement of organizational goals. Retaining talented employees is a significant challenge for many health sector non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and it threatens their sustainability. Previous studies have been conducted to determine the causes of employee turnover in Kenya; however, there is inadequate empirical evidence regarding the correlation between emotional intelligence competencies and employee retention. This study aimed to determine the impact of leadership empathy on employee retention in health sector NGOs in Kenya. The study was conducted based on Bar-On’s Emotional Intelligence Competencies Model. Positivism was the philosophical foundation of this descriptive design study. The analysis unit included 30 health sector NGOs in Kenya, while the observation unit included 1,500 management-level employees. The Yamane formula was used to determine the study sample size, which consisted of 316 respondents. A stratified random sampling technique was implemented to determine the sample. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the study data. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (version 26) was used for data analysis, where descriptive and inferential statistics were computed. The findings are presented in tables and figures and prose form. We found a positive influence, indicating that increased empathy enhanced employee retention. Therefore, we concluded that leadership empathy is positively and significantly correlated with employee retention in health sector NGOs in Kenya. Managers and supervisors in health sector NGOs should receive training and development programs to enhance their empathy skills. Additionally, health sector NGOs should provide workshops, seminars, and coaching sessions that emphasize developing leadership empathy skills through active listening, perspective-taking, and genuine concern for others

Within the scope of the Mobilizing Agenda for the Development of Intelligent Green Mobility Products and Systems (A-MoVeR), specifically in the second PPS2 defined the presentation of a “new electric motorcycle, with high autonomy, aimed at promoting comfortable, efficient and green urban mobility"". In this context, we intend to develop user interfaces (UI) for an electric motorcycle that meet the end-user’s expectations by promoting optimal user experience and security. To achieve this goal, this paper provides a preliminary literature analysis, with a compilation of literature related to major aspects for developing an optimized User Interface (UI) and consequently increasing User eXperience (UX), specifying accessibility, adaptability, appeal, and conciseness of motorcycle interfaces in an attempt to determine its constructive qualities. Therefore, it was analyzed studies regarding filtering of displayed information; the controlling of a user’s focus and emotions through means of efficient visual representations; the differences in various types of input methods regarding user attention; and, the relevance of dynamic UI as a solution to a variety of problems related to UI/UX design. Therefore, a systematic literature review was performed, which resulted in the finding of various advantageous practices and ideas that are relevant to the design of a motorcycle’s UI/UX.
To justification of concrete strength criterion at biaxial compression
Authors: Davidenko Alexei A. , Davidenko Alexander I.
Published: October 2024

Introduction. Numerous experimental data from Russian and foreign researchers indicate that the classical plasticity hypotheses do not take into account the different resistance to uniaxial tension and compression, the influence of the spherical tensor. At the same time, experiments show that the ultimate resistance depends on the type of stress state, and hydrostatic pressure increases the strength and plasticity of solids.

Aim. To establish the dependence of the influence of the second component of stresses during biaxial compression of concrete on the parameters of the complete diagrams of deformation of the material σbR and εbR it is necessary to describe these diagrams, and to construct a closed curve on the plane of the main stresses (concrete strength criterion).

Materials and methods. Based on the experimental materials of foreign and domestic researchers, including the experiments of the authors of the article, methods of mechanics of deformed solids, limit curves and a closed curve on the plane of the main stresses in the form of a chain line forming the smallest area strength surface in the form of a catenoid are proposed.

Results. The article provides an analysis of the known strength criteria from the point of view of their geometric interpretation in the stress space. It is shown that these studies relate mainly to metals and metal structures, and for the design of reinforced concrete and steel-concrete structures in a complex stress state, it is necessary to develop an appropriate criterion for the strength of concrete.

Conclusions. As a result, the proposed limit curves and the surface (material strength criterion) on the plane of main stresses in the form of a catenoid accurately reflect the behavior of concrete under conditions of uniform and uneven flat stress state, and the equation of the surface in the form of a catenoid is a generalization of the equations of limit curves for each of the three types of flat stress state. At the same time, there is no overestimation of strength in the "compression – compression" area in this case.
Justification for the use of modified concrete for foundations of overpass supports
Authors: Urmanshina Natalia E. , Mukhametzyanov Zinur R.
Published: October 2024

Introduction. The article discusses the possibilities and prospects of using modified concrete for the foundations of overpass supports.

The aim is to study the effect of various additives on the sulfate resistance of the foundations of bridge supports and overpasses.

Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, tests of reinforced concrete samples were carried out with the introduction of various additives into the concrete mixture. As part of the study, a MasterLife® WP 3760 modifying additive was selected. Using this additive, experiments were conducted with an accelerated assessment of the effect on the sulfate resistance of concrete based on general-purpose Portland cement. In accelerated tests, the sulfate resistance of concretes with the studied additive was performed in comparison with concretes of the same composition prepared on sulfate-resistant and general-purpose Portland cement without additional additives. The water-cement ratio in all tested formulations remained constant.

Results. Samples made of general construction cement with the addition of MasterLife® WP 3760 after performing the specified test cycles in a sulfate medium showed a decrease in compressive strength by 3 % from their initial values. The residual strength of concrete samples with MasterLife® WP 3760 additive was 97 %, which exceeds the resistance of concrete to sulfate-resistant cement, the remaining strength of which is 94 %. The MasterLife® WP 3760 additive is a substance that significantly reduces the permeability of concrete due to "blockage" by particles of the substance or neoplasms of pores and capillaries of concrete, these substances due to physical and chemical processes lead to homologation, a decrease in the permeability of concrete, and, as a result, an increase in frost resistance and corrosion resistance.

Conclusion. As a result of the action of the MasterLife® WP 3760 additive, the corrosion resistance of concretes and mortars increases, including resistance to sulfate aggression, by reducing water permeability. Thus, it becomes possible to eliminate cracks in concrete with an opening width of up to 0.4 mm and extend the durability of concrete.

Métodos Estudo de coorte retrospectivo. Foram coletados dados de fontes secundárias de pessoas privadas de liberdade notificadas com tuberculose no período de 2015 a 2017 no estado. O risco de perda de seguimento segundo as variáveis de exposição (sociodemográficas, de detecção de casos, clínicas e de acompanhamento) foi estabelecido pelas razões de chance Odds Ratio bruto, as quais, quando significativas, foram incluídas no modelo múltiplo com método forward (Likelihood Ratio), determinando seus Odds Ratio ajustado. Resultados Foram incluídos 9.153 casos no estudo, dos quais 6% foram encerrados como perda de seguimento. Na análise múltipla, as variáveis preditoras para a perda de seguimento foram: sexo feminino; notificação por determinadas coordenadorias; retratamento pós-abandono, resistência medicamentosa em andamento sem informação, tipo de tratamento sem informação e necessidade de internação. Conclusão Os achados do estudo destacam a importância de sensibilizar os profissionais de saúde nas unidades prisionais sobre a identificação do perfil de risco para a perda de seguimento no tratamento da tuberculose em pessoas privadas de liberdade. Tal identificação abrange mulheres detidas na região metropolitana, em centros de detenção provisória e de progressão penitenciária. Além disso, devem-se incluir pessoas em retratamento pós-abandono, com necessidade de internação e ausência de informações sobre resistência medicamentosa e tipo de tratamento.

Abstract Objective To analyze the predictive factors for loss to follow-up of tuberculosis treatment in people deprived of liberty in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods Retrospective cohort study. Data were collected from secondary sources on people deprived of their liberty notified of tuberculosis in the state between 2015 and 2017. The risk of loss to follow-up according to the exposure variables (sociodemographic, case detection, clinical and follow-up) was established by the crude Odds Ratio, which, when significant, were included in the multiple model with the forward method, determining their adjusted Odds Ratio. Results A total of 9,153 cases were included in the study, of which 6% were closed as loss to follow-up. In the multiple analysis, the predictor variables for loss to follow-up were: female gender; notification by certain coordinating bodies; re-treatment after abandonment, ongoing drug resistance without information, type of treatment without information and need for hospitalization. Conclusion The study’s findings highlight the importance of raising awareness among health professionals in prisons about identifying the risk profile for loss of follow-up in tuberculosis treatment among people deprived of their liberty. This includes women detained in the metropolitan region, in pre-trial detention centers and prison progression centers. In addition, this should include people in post-abandonment retreatment, in need of hospitalization and without information on drug resistance and type of treatment.

Resumo Objetivo Investigar a situação atual e analisar os fatores influenciadores do conhecimento, atitude e prática de emergência pré-hospitalar entre cuidadores de idosos. Métodos Estudo transversal com amostragem por conveniência, conduzido entre dezembro de 2021 e junho de 2022, e seleção de 133 cuidadores de idosos em instituições de longa permanência na província de Guangdong, China, como participantes. Todos receberam um questionário de informações gerais e um questionário de conhecimento, atitude e prática de emergência pré-hospitalar. Na análise dos dados foi utilizada estatística descritiva e inferencial. Resultados As pontuações nas dimensões conhecimento, atitude e prática foram 24,65 ± 4,49, 24,52 ± 4,34 e 24,05 ± 4,67, respectivamente. A análise de regressão mostrou que a idade, o nível de habilidade profissional e a experiência em educação em saúde dos cuidadores foram os principais fatores que influenciaram seu conhecimento de emergência pré-hospitalar. A presença/ausência dos cuidadores na participação direta na emergência pré-hospitalar foi o principal fator de influência na atitude, enquanto o nível educacional e a situação profissional foram os fatores que influenciaram principalmente a prática na emergência pré-hospitalar. Conclusão O atual nível de conhecimento, atitude e prática em emergência pré-hospitalar dos cuidadores de idosos é de baixo a médio. Para os cuidadores chineses, os principais fatores que afetam a implementação da emergência pré-hospitalar são a idade avançada, os baixos níveis de escolaridade, o emprego temporário e as deficiências do sistema de segurança ocupacional.

Abstract Objective To analyze how the drive-thru vaccination process occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic in the global context. Methods This was an integrative literature review, carried out in February 2023 on the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) platform, on the Virtual Health Library Electronic Portal (VHL) and on Medline/Pubmed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied databases on Health Literature (CINAHL), SciVerse Scopus and Web of Science. The search strategy combined keywords, health science descriptors and Boolean operators. Independent double review with a third reviewer for consensus was adopted. The publications were organized in a synoptic table and classified according to the structure-process-result triad, proposed by Donabedian. Results 331 publications were found; eight of them met the pre-defined criteria. The structure category describes the structure of the drive thru model with different arrangements. The process category presents similarities and differences between Brazilian and North American studies. In general, the result category indicates that drive-thru vaccination system is effective, although work overload and professional exhaustion are also mentioned. Conclusion Drive-thru vaccination was a successful strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic as it made it possible to maintain health safety measures in addition to providing mass vaccination in a short time. However, it is necessary to improve this system for use in health actions, to better understand the best execution schemes, professional training and possibilities of appropriate structures for the success of these actions.
