Algeria: Democratic Transition in the Context of Economic Failure
Authors: Nouri Dris
Published: October 2021

This study reassesses the experience of political openness in Algeria within the analytical
and explanatory categories of political economy. It is built on the premise that the
transition from a totalitarian authoritarian regime to a democratic one presupposes
the transition from a rentier economy linked to the external market and dominated by
rentier groups, to a productive economy based on the national bourgeoisie exploitation
of local labour to create wealth. The study argues that the experience of democratic
transition in Algeria faltered due to the failure of the rentier groups to undergo capitalist
transformation that could have allowed the emergence of the two main sides of the
democratic equation: the bourgeoisie and the working class. The political elites that
control the rentier economy were willing to accept political but not economic reforms
that could have led to a reconsideration of the hegemonic relations within society and
liberated it from the grip of power. In this regard, the failure of the economic reforms
introduced by the Hamrouche government (1989-1991) was a prelude to the disruption
of the democratic transition and prevention of the development of a civil society capable
of gaining its independence from authority and, on the other hand, the independence of
the Algerian state from the global market.

Published: October 2021

Bu çalışmanın amacı, firmadaki beş temel departmanın (pazarlama, satış, Ar-Ge, üretim ve finans), pazarlamaya ilişkin kararlar üzerinde, ne derece etkisi olduğunu araştırmaktır. Her bir departmanın bu kararlar üzerindeki etki düzeyleri belirlenerek, departmanlar arası karşılaştırma yapılmakta ve her bir departmanın etkisinin firma performansı ile ilişkisi araştırılmaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra, kararlardaki etkinin departmanlar arasında dağılmasının firma performansı üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmaktadır. Bu amaca yönelik olarak, Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren 220 üretim firmasından, yapılandırılmış anket aracılığıyla toplanan veriler analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda, firmadaki pazarlamaya ilişkin kararlar üzerinde pazarlama ve satış departmanlarının oldukça etkili olduğu görülmektedir. Pazarlamanın, en çok etkili olduğu kararlar reklam ve en az etkili olduğu kararlar da ürün geliştirme kararlarıdır. Pazarlama ve satış departmanlarının kararlar üzerinde etkisi arttıkça firma performansının düştüğü, diğer departmanlarının etkisinin performans üzerinde bir etkiye sahip olmadığı bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Kararlar üzerindeki etkinin departmanlar arasında dağılması ile performans arasında da bir ilişkiye rastlanmamıştır. Çalışmanın sonunda uygulamacılar ve gelecek çalışmalar için önerilere yer verilmektedir.

Published: October 2021

Nutrition is one of the oldest sciences that aims to study the interactions between food, nutrients and human health. This fact can be checked from the famous citation of Hippocrates, considered the father of the modern medicine “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”. In the last decades several studies have attributed to foods the ability to provide benefits which go beyond its macronutrient content, being able to act on cellular signaling pathways reducing the incidence of many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Body Fatty Acids, Nutrition, and Health: Is Skewness of Distributions a Mediator of Correlations?
Authors: Høstmark Arne Torbjørn
Published: October 2021

Fatty acids are important in nutrition and health. Previously, we reported that the concentration range per se may explain positive and negative correlations between percentages of fatty acids. We now present additional data to explain such correlations. With 3 positive scale variables, A, B, and C, dependency between their percentages is: %A + %B + %C = 100, or %B = - %A + (100 - %C), each variable with a particular range. The equation may be simplified by making the expression (100 - %C) approach zero (high %C, low %A and %B values), i.e. %B = %A (giving positive %A vs. %B), and by making %C approach zero, giving %B = - %A + 100 (giving negative %A vs. %B). In the current work we present data showing that skewness of the %A (B, C) histograms may serve as a mediator of correlations between %A and %B.

Zinc is one of the trace elements important in human nutrition and metabolism. Zinc deficiency is now recognized as one of the most severe problems of human malnutrition world-wide. It is caused by low dietary intake of zinc and related to growth retardation in children, loss of appetite, impaired immune function and diarrhea. Objective: To investigate zinc deficiency among malnourished children under 5 years in Gaza city. Methodology: This cross sectional study consisted of 300 malnourished children under 5 years old from both sexes. Questionnaire interview with parents was used. Anthropometric measurements (weight, length and height) were taken. Blood samples were drawn for determination of serum Zinc . Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 18.0. Results: The study population was (300) cases; (50.7%) males and (49.3%) females. More than two third of the sample (79.3%) received immediate breastfeeding, and (59.7%) of them were breast fed exclusively. Zinc deficiency among malnourished children showed (25.3%) of them had serum zinc level below (65) μg/dL. There was a significant association between gender and serum zinc at (0.05) level of significant. In contrast, there was insignificant association between each of underweight, stunting and wasting with serum zinc level. In addition, there was no significant association between immediate breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding length of breastfeeding period, age of introducing infant formula, age of introducing complementary food with serum Zn level. Recommendations: Interventions to improve children's zinc nutriture should be considered in populations at risk of zinc deficiency.

A Comprehensive and Multidisciplinary Approach to Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Case Examples
Authors: Weber Michael , Carter John , K. White Emily , Weidenbecher Mark
Published: October 2021

Positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is well established as the standard of care for most patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), however, up to 50% are not successfully treated with this approach and their further care remains a challenge. The value of engaging a multidisciplinary team in the diagnosis and management of OSA has been well recognized for over 30 years; however, the difficulty has been translating this principle into clinical practice. We present a series of selected patients with a diagnosis of OSA who initially failed PAP therapy but were successfully treated using a multidisciplinary and evidence-based approach that is reproducible at other sleep centers.
Infectious Mononucleosis with Upper Airway Obstruction: when tracheotomy and tonsillectomy can be helpful
Authors: Maria Amadei Enrico , Benedettini Laura , Trebbi Marco
Published: October 2021

Infectious mononucleosis is caused by Epstein-Barr virus, which infects more than 98% of the world's adult population. Approximately 90% of adults become antibody-positive before the age of 30. The ages of 15-24 years are the most likely time for the onset of symptoms. We report the case of a 13-year-old girl who came to our emergency department for bilateral erythematous-poltaceous tonsillitis complicated by dysphagia and dyspnea. She had a diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis. For some hours the young woman presented an inconsistency between a marked respiratory distress and the patency of her upper airways. Finally the clinical picture fell suddenly, requiring an emergency tracheotomy to ensure a patent airway. In the following days a diagnosis of a left parapharyngeal abscess was reached. A tonsillectomy with drainage of the parapharyngeal abscess was required. It is well known that infectious mononucleosis is typically a silent infection. We describe the case of a girl who risked losing her life due to aggressive infectious mononucleosis, and how we treated her. Such a complicated case has never been described in Literature.

Published: October 2021

Objective: To examine the prediction of severity of illness, health promoting behaviors, cardiac self-efficacy, and acceptance of illness on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among Thai people with coronary heart disease (CHD) in Thailand.Material and Methods: A cross-sectional design was used. A quota sampling was used to recruit 110 people with CHD, who met the inclusion criteria, from 20 selected hospitals across Thailand. Five self-reporting questionnaires were used: a demographic data questionnaire, Thai version of MacNew HRQOL, Thai version of Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II, Thai version of Cardiac Self-Efficacy Scale Questionnaire, and the Thai version of Acceptance of Illness Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a point-biserial correlation or a bivariate Pearson’s correlation and multiple stepwise regression analyses. Results: One hundred and ten people were included. Most of the participants were men (64.5%) with an average age of 62.07±9.98 years. Most of them (76.4%) were best categorized as class I under the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) classification system. The findings showed that 46 percent of the variance (adjusted R2 =0.46) for HRQOL was explained by being CCS class I (β=0.22, p-value<0.010), cardiac self-efficacy (β=0.41, p-value<0.010) and acceptance of illness (β=0.35, p-value<0.010). Health promoting behavior was a non-significant predictor of HRQOL (β=0.10, p-value=0.260).Conclusion: The results support the severity of illness, cardiac self-efficacy, and acceptance of illness in explaining HRQOL among people with CHD. Therefore, nursing interventions that are suitable for the severity of the disease, and aimed at boosting cardiac self-efficacy and acceptance of illness should be considered to enhance HRQOL.

Published: October 2021

La fréquence de l’insuffisance d’analgésie pour la césarienne, à savoir échec complet ou bloc partiel, varie entre 0,5 à 17 % pour la rachianesthésie et 1,7 à 20 % pour l’extension d’analgésie péridurale. L’insuffisance d’analgésie peut être à l’origine de souffrances physiques et psychiques aux conséquences potentiellement graves comme l’état de stress post-traumatique. Un groupe d’experts multi- et pluriprofessionnels composé d’anesthésistes, obstétriciens, néonatologistes, sages-femmes, psychiatres, infirmiers anesthésistes, juristes et d’usagères a établi 23 préconisations afin de sensibiliser et accompagner les équipes pour la prévention, la reconnaissance et le traitement de la douleur pendant la césarienne sous anesthésie périmédullaire (rachianesthésie, péridurale ou rachipéricombinée). Dix de ces préconisations ont été identifiées comme clés par les experts. De même, une aide à la décision a été produite afin de préparer et guider au mieux les équipes. Ces préconisations ont pour but d’induire une prise de conscience et une amélioration des pratiques professionnelles pour que la césarienne « à vif » ne soit plus un aléa acceptable, mais un événement indésirable grave, prévenu et combattu par tous.

The paper analyzes the form of the noun phrase and its translation shift found in the novel “Budha, A Story of Enlightenment”. The shift in translation is stated as a major concept in a sentence analysis found in translation. The concept of shifting can be used in order to learn how a unit on a different level used to make interesting structures. This study has used the theory that is proposed by Catford (1978) and Quirk et all(1985). The qualitative method is applied to the research method by the researcher. In the data of noun phrases, it consists of the derived noun as head in the source language. In the translation process in this study, a shift occurred in the translation process from the source language into the target language. It can be seen that this study focuses on the translation strategies of the noun phrase. Those can be dictated by the structural discrepancies that occurred between the two language systems involved in this process. The optional ones (those that are dictated by the personal and stylistic preferences) and communicative rendition in source language text into another language. There are some shifts in translation occurred in the English noun phrases that are also translated into noun phrases in Indonesian as the target language. This study intends to: (i) identify the types of the noun phrase and its constituent structure found in the data source, (ii) analyze the types of translation shifts of the noun phrase in the translation process from the source language into the target language.

Published: October 2021

Energy efficiency and conservation have become a concern as many issues raised up regarding the increase in energy usage. Besides lighting and HVAC, a conventional drinking water dispenser also consumes plenty of huge electric energy in a building. However, most of them are wasted in vain as the machine will constantly repeat boiling and cooling the water even though no one uses the machine. In addition, the water that comes to the machine needs to boiled first to ensure it is safe to consume, then the water will be chilled and moves to warm-water tank and cold-water tank. Also, the machine needs to have sterilization which will heat all the water. Overall, the energy management in conventional drinking water dispenser is indigent. In this study, the design of intelligent energy-efficient drinking water dispensing system will be elaborated, including the architecture, key features, and analysis. Utilized by the Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems, Intelligent Water Dispenser is able to maintain the energy efficiency.

Due to lack of indigenous conventional energy resources, renewable energy has become a potential alternative for Taiwan’s future energy supply. Numerous studies have recently emerged on renewable issues in Taiwan. However, studies that specifically consider effects of various influential parameters on evaluation and selection of renewable energy sources based on multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approach under neutrosophic environment are still limited to some specific part of the renewable energy sources (RES). MCDM methods has become increasingly popular in solving the decision-making problems which involve multiple criteria. This study proposes an extension of MCDM approach to evaluate renewable energy sources, using the combination of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique with the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method based on interval – valued neutrosophic sets.

This paper aims at conceptualising a digitised Shop Floor Management (SFM) visualisation board. The logic of inquiry throughout the study is an iterative back and-forth approach between our theoretical conceptualisation of the digitised visualisation board and empirical data collected in three industrial companies. The paper shows that digitised visualisation boards should have malleable representation capacities to transfer, translate and transform knowledge within and across SFM teams. A digitised visualisation board is suggested, which consists of; translating practices within SFM teams, translating practices across SFM teams, transforming practices across SFM teams and translating practices within SFM teams.

Due to the speed in which technological advances take place, companies that operate in this field need to implement and follow rigorous process management in order to guarantee their survival and competitiveness in the market. Faced with this need, the question arises as how the management process is carried out within technology-based companies with emphasis on R & D, in which, due to the short development cycles and low production volumes, it needs to optimize their processes to meet efficiently the customer needs. Intending to obtain knowledge about this subject, the present work documents the process of management and classification of the projects and the products development stages of the Laboratory of Automation and Simulation of Electrical Systems (LASSE) through the development of a documentary research, based on a bibliographical revision regarding the main concepts that compose the theme. Finally, an analysis of the stage of development of the projects according to the process currently adopted was made, comparing it to the classifications of the Innovation Chain, proposed by ANEEL and the Technology Readiness Level, proposed by NASA. It was concluded that following a plan management and the adoption of rating scales is indispensable for the success of the company in meeting its demands within the established deadlines, ensuring the quality of services and products provided to its customers.

An increasing number of studies have highlighted the importance of using Technology Roadmapping as a tool to support Strategic Management and Innovation. There is a direct relationship between the Strategic Management of Innovation in organizations, with the use of tools and methods to support decision making, communication, and technological actions. In this context, we aim at exploring the environment of the Laboratory of Automation and Simulation of Electrical Systems (LASSE) of the Itaipu Technology Park Foundation (FPTI) – Brazil, mentioning its importance, analogy, and adherence to the modernization plan of the ITAIPU Hydroelectric Power Plant. In a qualitative way, the main perspectives for LASSE were drawn. The alternative proposed by this work is to define a Technology Roadmap (TRM) architecture to LASSE / FPTI, to align different levels and visions. A functional perspective, specific to its needs, that help the manager to plan solutions and identify the best path for technological development.

As a new form of Internet service, User Generated Content (UGC) community has gained popularity these years, and also attracts academic attention. The posting behavior of users is an important index to measure whether the users are active or not. Identifying the potential active users in UGC Communities helps the companies make proper management strategies, which renders the prediction of users’ posting behavior important. This study used Poisson regression to examine the effect of users’ past behavior and status on users’ later behavior of posting. The data for analysis were extracted from ten thousand users on Qiushibaike throughout a window of three months, which included the number of posts and the number of likes, comments, and times they were featured on the home page by administrators. The results indicate that users’ past comments have a negative effect on users’ later posting behavior; users’ past posts have a positive effect on users’ later posting behavior; users’ past likes and hot posts they got have a positive effect on users’ later posting behavior.

Digital Twin has been recognized as a strategic approach in the modern manufacturing industry to improve both the flexibility and the efficiency. To efficiently generate the Digital Twin of an existing real object in the factory, powerful methods are necessary. Hereby, a fast data acquisition including object recognition and model reconstruction methodology has been combined to resolve these issues. Such a data set often has to replace the missing original digital model. Subsequently, a model reconstruction plan has to be derived so that an editable CAD model, which fulfils process requirements, can be generated using standard geometry creation tools. Such a reverse-engineered CAD model preferably contains form-feature based design intent and can be easily modified due to new design and manufacturing constraints. The presented paper describes an industrial approach for a commercial service being in the implementation to generate the Digital Twin based on fast scanning on a factory.
Visualization of Complex Industrial Products and Processes Using Hierarchical Dynamic LODs
Authors: Semenov Vitaly , Shutkin Vasily , Zolotov Vladislav
Published: October 2021

Visualization of complex industrial products and processes is a challenging problem connected with emerging collaborative environments and integrated product development technologies. Due to the large number of components and the complexity of their geometrical models, direct display of products and processes by current graphics systems at reasonable frame rates becomes impossible. One of the promising approaches to visualization of complex scenes is a simplification of polygonal models often hidden under the term level of details (LOD). Nowadays, different techniques, including hierarchical level of details (HLOD), are widely employed for visualization of large scenes by means of the geometry simplification and representation of entire groups of objects. However, both LOD and HLOD techniques face dramatic difficulties when scenes undergo modifications. Known attempts to adapt techniques for dynamic scenes did not result in significant progress. In the paper we present a concept of hierarchical dynamic level of details (HDLOD) and prove its feasibility and applicability to deterministic pseudo-dynamic scenes. Such scenes arise in various problems connected with visual modeling of complex construction projects, city infrastructure programs, and machinery assembly production. The results of computational experiments confirm the prospects of the introduced HDLODs and proposed complementary method for their automatic generation and application in industrial practice.

Introduction. This research focused on answering questions: how mental health literacy and psychological distress act as predictors of psychological well-being in Sriwijaya University students.
Methodology.This research used quantitative method, by conducting instrument preparation, data collection, and analysis of data results to see the role of the independent variables on the dependent variable. Psychological well-being was measured using an instrument in a form of psychological scale referred to Psychological Scale by Ryff & Keyes (1995). Meanwhile, psychological distress was measured using WHO Self-Reporting Questionnaire 20 (SRQ-20) Indonesian version, and Mental Health Literacy measurement was adapted from O’Connor and Casey (2015). The participants of this research were consisted of 418 college students.
Results.The analysis results show that there is a role of mental health literacy and psychological distress together on psychological well-being, thus the hypothesis is accepted. Major hypothesis test was done using multiple linear regression which shows a correlation value (R) of 0.586 and a significance of 0.001 (p<0.05). For the results of minor hypothesis test, it is known that the beta value is 0.143 and the P value is 0.022 (p>0.05), this indicates that there is a role for mental health literacy on psychological well-being, thus the hypothesis is accepted. In addition, it is known that psychological well-being and psychological distress show a beta value of -1.945 and a P value of 0.001 (p>0.05), this indicates that there is a role for psychological distress on psychological well-being thus the hypothesis is accepted.
Conclusions.The percentage of mental health literacy and psychological pressure influences on psychological well-being (R adjusted) is 0.343, this also shows that the contribution of mental health literacy and psychological distress together on psychological well-being is 34.3%, while the rest is the contribution of other variables not examined in this study
