Authors: Göksal Renan , Salcuni Silvia , Marino Giulia , Paduanello Matteo , De Renoche Guido
Published: February 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted young people’s mental health, leading to increased distress and reduced life satisfaction worldwide. Among the worst-hit countries, Italy saw mental health services shift online, prioritizing urgent cases. Consequently, therapy for many individuals was interrupted, leaving young people largely neglected. In response, the Italian government allocated €8 million for youth mental health initiatives during the pandemic, and the Veneto region utilized €2 million to establish the District Functional Unit for Adolescents (UFDA) within its public Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services to provide specialized care for young people. The pilot phase was implemented between April and December 2022. This study reports preliminary findings on UFDA’s effectiveness in Padua’s Local Health Unit. The main objectives include describing patient characteristics and assessing the intervention outcomes. The study involved 255 youths, representing 71.43% of patients at UFDA (mean: 14.4; range: 12-24 years), and 170 parents. Self- and informant-report versions of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) were administered. A regional questionnaire was used to describe the patient profiles, and the intervention progress record documented anamnestic data and clinical progress of patients. The study revealed positive intervention outcomes despite the limited number of psychotherapy sessions. Results of the SDQ highlighted improvements in all difficulty scales after the intervention. The UFDA pilot project underscores the potential of a preventive, youth-centered approach to address young people’s mental health needs. The insights from this study can inform strategies to enhance youth mental health care in post-COVID-19 Italy.
A proof of the central limit theorem using the $2$-Wasserstein metric
Authors: Chin Calvin Wooyoung
Published: February 2025

We prove the Lindeberg–Feller central limit theorem without using characteristic functions or Taylor expansions, but instead by measuring how far a distribution is from the standard normal distribution according to the

2

-Wasserstein metric. This falls under the category of renormalization group methods. The facts we need about the metric are explained and proved in detail. We illustrate the idea on a classical version of the central limit theorem before going into the main proof.
Competitive dynamics in the AI technology stack
Authors: Alaily Rima
Published: February 2025

Generative AI is a transformative force: a general-purpose technology with the potential to reshape industries, create new markets and drive global economic growth. While many urge swift action by competition agencies, a measured approach is essential. The AI technology stack, with its distinct and layered dynamics, operates very differently from the Web 2.0 landscape that came before it. Generative AI’s rapid evolution, its unique dependencies across the stack and its potential to transform the entire sectors demand a nuanced regulatory lens. Rather than applying lessons from past digital markets, competition authorities should consider the complex interplay of innovation, scale and collaboration that define this new era. This article seeks to illuminate these dynamics, underscoring the need for careful economic analysis and the development of modern regulatory frameworks that can foster sustainable growth whilst protecting competitive dynamics. Missteps in understanding or regulating the forces that propel this technology forward could limit its benefits, stifle innovation and weaken the economic opportunity it holds. With thoughtful, well-informed frameworks, we can foster a competitive environment that maximizes AI’s reach and impact for generations to come.

Multicollinearity does not limit the possibility of obtaining a good model or affect inferences about expected responses the hypotheses the principal components regression method has the capability of resolving the multicollinearity that exists between explained variables , It is possible to conclude that throughout our paper; the problem of multi-collinearity has been solved by using a principal component technique in the case of the panel regression model, by using investment data in the Sudan.
Effect of Brand Image, Price, and Electronic Word of Mouth on Student Interest in Choosing a Private College in Bandung City (Study at Pasundan 2 Cimahi High School)
Authors: Sena Muhamad Adryan Arya , Karamang Ezra , Ali Mochammad Mukti
Published: February 2025

Instruction plays a critical part in the advancement of Indonesia, but there are still inequalities in higher education opportunities. This study looks at the effect of Brand Image, Cost, and Electronic Word of Mouth (e-WOM) on prospective students' interest in choosing a Private University (PTS) in Bandung City centred on Pasundan 2 Cimahi High School. This is done to analyze the effect of Brand Image, Cost, and e-WOM on interest in choosing PTS in Bandung City using a quantitative strategy with a purposive sampling method. Information was analyzed through validity, reliability, multiple linear regression, and F and T tests with an error rate of 5%. The results showed that Brand Image (X1) and e-WOM (X3) have a significant influence (p = 0.000 < xss=removed> 0.05). Thus, H1 and H3 are accepted, while H2 is rejected. This finding emphasizes that Brand Picture and e-WOM influence student interest, while Price has a smaller impact. This shows the importance of positive branding and computerized engagement for HEIs to remain competitive in attracting students. This research provides insights for educational institutions to develop strategies to address these factors and increase their attractiveness to prospective students amidst the increasingly fierce competition in higher education

Published: February 2025

The interplay of factors, including both cognitive and non-cognitive, plays a significant role in the learning patterns of students. However, the majority of the research conducted on such issues mainly puts forward the role of cognitive skills but forgets that a very important role is played by the non-cognitive factor, specifically motivation and emotional intelligence. Therefore, this study focuses on bridging that gap by investigating the combined influence of cognitive and non-cognitive factors on the learning capacities of engineering students during their transition to higher education. A two-year longitudinal study on engineering students of AITAM, Tekele, India was considered in relation to their academic performance, learning preference, and socio-emotional aspects. The approach adopted makes use of predictive analytics. It is deployed here as machine learning algorithms in the form of Logistic Regression (LR), Naive Bayes, k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), Decision Trees (DT), and Support Vector Machines (SVM) to classify the learners into very fast, fast, average, and slow learners. The algorithm of k-NN also achieved the highest accuracy classification and showed good robustness for learning the students' learning rates. This study underscores the combination of new teaching approaches as well as personalized self-learning methods to enhance learning performance, especially for slow learners. Indeed, the outcome gives avenues for much more extensive studies done on large datasets using advanced algorithms which can be applied across a range of educational fields to support tailored learning interventions.
Network Effects in Digital Transport Platform
Authors: WOZNICA-HANUSIK Anna
Published: February 2025

This article addresses the topic of network effects in two types of digital platforms for passenger transport: public transportation platforms and shared mobility platforms. The first section discusses the issue of technological development, including platforms and operating systems. The second section addresses the issue of digital platforms, providing their definitions and proposed typologies. The third section discusses the topic of network effects in digital platforms, highlighting the role of users in generating these effects as well as the localization challenges related to them. The primary objective of this article is to present network effects within passenger transportation platforms which is presented in the final section. The focus is mainly on platforms associated with public transport and shared mobility, areas that have not been extensively covered in existing literature. Examples of both direct and indirect, as well as positive and negative, network effects are presented. This article serves as a preliminary contribution, forming the foundation for future research. In the case of public transport platforms, network effects can be generated by features such as the ability to purchase tickets or access timetables for an increasing number of cities through a single platform. For shared mobility platforms, network effects are driven both by the growing number of users joining the platform to access its services and by the increasing number of vehicles available for rental. However, with an excessive number of users, problems such as vehicle blocking (negative effect) may arise, while at the same time, the platform could attract additional vehicles and users (positive effect).

Authors: WRÓBEL Kamil , REINVEE Märt , KRAJEWSKA Barbara
Published: February 2025

The article explores the management of ergonomic interventions in Industry 4.0 during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the assembly process in window production. The study addresses methods for determining and quantifying worker burdens caused by exposure factors due to ergonomic interventions. The cognitive goal is to quantify operational and tactical variables impacting worker workload during the pandemic. The practical objective is to evaluate the relevance of variables for applying artificial neural networks to support ergonomic interventions in semi- and non-automated assembly processes. Sixteen variables were examined, including noise, work pace, body posture, control element position, and personal protective equipment. Postural load, heart rate, and NASA-TLX assessments were carried out during tests, along with cognitive-motor skills and fatigue measurements. The results, quantified using a comparative method, showed that task load was most affected by stress and fast work pace. PPE, such as masks and gloves, caused only minor strain, while the least burdensome factor was the slightly shifted screen position. Personalized results of the impact of these variables were obtained, which were further quantified and linked to IE management goals, such as minimizing stress at the cost of physical load. These quantifications enable the use of artificial neural networks to support IE management in partially and non-automated assembly processes in Industry 4.0.

Neste ponto de dista, também, será abordada a aplicação da legislação e os debates acerca da criação de uma legislação específica, bem como a sua aplicabilidade para a defesa do consumidor, que muitas vez acaba não sabendo qual atitude poderá tomar para se proteger das práticas abusivas, tendo em vista que a legislação não é clara sobre o assunto.
A INTERPRETAÇÃO DOS PRINCÍPIOS NA ATUALIZAÇÃO DO DIREITO: A INTERPRETAÇÃO DOS PRINCÍPIOS CONSTITUCIONAIS COMO MEIO DE ADAPTAR O DIREITO ÀS CONSTANTES MUDANÇAS SOCIAIS DA ATUALIDADE
Authors: Valentini Renato Bulbarelli
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo possui como principal objetivo demonstrar que, dentre as muitas formas de atualização do sistema jurídico, de modo a comportar situações inicialmente não regulamentadas, a interpretação dos princípios constitucionais representa um mecanismo que, ao mesmo tempo, possibilita que o direito forneça soluções às expectativas sociais cada vez mais complexas da pós-modernidade, e mantenha sua identidade e funcionamento enquanto sistema operativamente fechado e autopoiético. Para isso, o artigo inicia seu percurso introduzindo noções básicas acerca do conceito de sistema, a fim de qualificar o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro como um subsistema em relação ao sistema social. Em seguida, explora-se a ideia de complexificação da sociedade a partir da teoria da mídia, com o intuito de apresentar o problema a ser resolvido por meio da interpretação dos princípios constitucionais: fornecer soluções jurídicas coerentes a uma sociedade cada vez mais complexa. Como forma de atingir esse objetivo, utiliza-se a ideia de interpretação como produção fundamentada de texto para demonstrar de que modo normas dotadas de abertura semântica – como os princípios constitucionais – podem, quando corretamente interpretadas, abranger o âmbito de atuação do sistema jurídico positivo, fazendo com que sua capacidade de processamento de expectativas normativas se alargue e, com isso, torne-se cada vez mais apto a processar a crescente complexidade social. Ao final, utiliza-se como exemplo o abrangimento do campo de incidência do princípio republicano, a partir da interpretação do STF, como forma de comprovar a hipótese inicial.
EXTRA GRAECIAM NULLA FORMA: A REVOLUÇÃO GREGA DA ARTE COMO UM PROCESSO HISTORIOGRÁFICO
Authors: Prechlak Gabriel Antônio , Grein Everton
Published: February 2025

Sob perspectiva da análise historiográfica, este trabalho aborda e problematiza algumas interpretações históricas sobre a emergência do estilo clássico na arte grega. A influente tese de Ernst H. Gombrich (1995) sobre a chamada “Revolução Grega” é o objeto central das dicussões, explorando não apenas sua contribuição e importância, mas principalmente questionando-as, destacando a necessidade de revisão e qualificação do discurso histórico sobre a ascensão do estilo. Para isso, dialoga-se com as recentes contribuições da História e Arqueologia, especialmente os estudos de Jás Elsner (2006) e Andrew Stewart (2008), e suas abordagens que enfatizam o papel e a função da arte na polis grega. A discussão crítica também aborda a historicidade desses autores, ressaltando a complexidade das interpretações em relação ao contexto histórico e demonstrando como diferentes perspectivas teóricas e metodológicas podem contribuir para uma compreensão mais profunda e abrangente desse importante processo histórico.
Possible provenance of IRD by tracing late Eocene Antarctic iceberg melting using a high-resolution ocean model
Authors: Elbertsen Mark V. , van Sebille Erik , Bijl Peter K.
Published: February 2025

Abstract. The Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT) is characterised by the inception of the large-scale Antarctic ice sheet. However, evidence of earlier glaciation during the Eocene has been found, including the presence of ice-rafted debris (IRD) at Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 113 Site 696 on the South Orkney Microcontinent (SOM) (Carter et al., 2017). This suggests marine-terminating glaciers should have been present in the southern Weddell Sea region during the late Eocene, generating sufficiently large icebergs to the South Orkney Microcontinent to survive the high Eocene ocean temperatures. Here, we use Lagrangian iceberg tracing in a high-resolution eddy-resolving ocean model of the late Eocene (Nooteboom et al., 2022) to show that icebergs released from offshore the present-day Filchner Ice Shelf region and Dronning Maud Land could reach the South Orkney Microcontinent during the late Eocene. The high melt rates under the Eocene warm climate require a minimum initial iceberg mass on the order of 100 Mt and an iceberg thickness of several tens of metres to be able to reach the South Orkney Microcontinent. Although this places the iceberg mass at the larger end of the present-day range of common iceberg masses around Antarctica, the minimum estimates are not unfeasible; hence, the present study confirms previous findings suggesting glaciation and iceberg calving were possible in the late Eocene.

Authors: Dunya Malhan Hanweet  , Karar Abdulzahra Mahdi  , Ansam Mahdi Khalel  , Ibrahim Salah M.
Published: February 2025

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of behavioral measures in managing TMDs with an emphasis on pain, joint mobility and psychosocial status.
Methods: Forty-eight subjects with TMDs were enrolled based on the RDC/TMD criteria. Stress management, ergonomics training, dietary changes and stretching exercises were recommended as individualized lifestyle plans. The clinical, psychosocial and functional evaluations were done before and after three months of intervention.
Results: The frequency of myofascial pain without limited mouth opening was 45. 8% which was reduced to 20. The percentage of subjects with right and left TMJ arthralgia was also seen to have reduced significantly (70. 8% to 43.  7%, p = 0. 0133; 75% to 41. 6%, p = 0. 001). Right TMJ osteoarthrosis and osteoarthritis showed a considerable improvement (p < 0. 05) while the changes in the left TMJ were not significant. Disc displacement with reduction on the right and without reduction on the left side was also found to have improved markedly (p = 0. 036; p = 0.  041).  Depression severity was also found to have reduced significantly with the normal levels increasing from 45. 8% to 83. 3% (p < 0.  05). Pain intensity as measured by VAS also reduced from 4. 72 ± 1.  44 to 3. 43 ± 1. 38 (p = 0.  001). There was also an enhancement in the non-specific physical symptoms but the differences were not statistically significant.
Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that the implementation of lifestyle modifications helps in decreasing the symptoms of TMD, increases the joint function and has a positive effect on the psychosocial status of the patients and therefore should be considered as the first-line treatment in the management of TMD.

Web-based Rabies Disease Diagnosis Expert System with Forward Chaining and Dempster Shafer Methods
Authors: Salat Junaidi , Rasna Rasna , Ichsan Muhammad , Abdullah Dahlan
Published: February 2025

Rabies is a hazardous zoonotic disease that poses a significant threat to both animals and humans, as it can result in death. The disease is caused by a single-stranded RNA virus commonly found in infected animals' saliva, which can be transmitted to humans through bites. Although many people keep animals as pets, many lack adequate knowledge about the potential risks of rabies transmission. In Indonesia, most cases of rabies transmission to humans are caused by bites from infected dogs, followed by bites from monkeys and cats. The absence of an effective treatment for Rabies makes prevention and early diagnosis extremely important. One approach that could help manage the disease is creating an expert system for rabies diagnosis. The Rabies Disease Expert System is developed based on a needs analysis conducted through interviews with veterinarians to understand the classification of symptoms and the diagnostic process for Rabies. It's important to note that while the system is a valuable tool, it does have limitations and should not replace the role of a veterinarian. The system employs two critical methodologies: the Forward Chaining and Dempster-Shafer algorithms. These algorithms allow the system to trace the progression of symptoms and calculate the probability of a rabies infection. The system is an interactive platform where users—such as animal owners or medical professionals—can input observed symptoms in either animals or humans. Based on these inputs, the system provides a probable diagnosis. For example, the expert system might determine that a dog is in the 'Excitation Stage' of Rabies with a 54% confidence level. The integration of Forward Chaining and Dempster-Shafer methods ensures that the system continuously refines its diagnostic accuracy, aiming for a confidence level close to 100%. This expert system offers a promising tool to aid in the early detection and management of Rabies, potentially reducing the risk of widespread transmission.

TeO₂ crystals, widely recognized for their exceptional acousto-optic and optical properties, are essential materials in modern spectroscopic, telecommunications, and defense technologies. This review highlights the key aspects of TeO₂ crystal research, including raw material preparation, growth methods, and characterization of their properties. Currently, researchers are focused on two major directions: enhancing the efficiency of existing growth techniques and addressing the challenges posed by scaling up the size of high-quality crystals. TeO₂ crystal growth methods, such as the Czochralski, Bridgman, and hydrothermal processes, face significant challenges, including sensitivity to thermal gradients and the need for high-purity raw materials. The presence of impurities, such as Fe and Pt, strongly influences the optical and structural quality of the crystals. Additionally, the formation of defects, such as bubbles and inclusions, remains a critical issue. This review emphasizes the importance of developing new furnace designs, optimizing thermal conditions, and implementing innovative growth strategies to achieve high-quality crystals suitable for industrial applications. The scalability of TeO₂ crystals remains a key challenge that demands further exploration, particularly for their use in large-scale acousto-optic devices.

Authors: Buheji Mohamed , Ahmed Dunya
Published: February 2025

This paper studies the risks of not engaging in challenging projects after retirement and emphasizes the importance of active participation in various activities. By finding meaningful pursuits, retirees not only enhance their own lives but can also significantly contribute to the well-being of their communities. Encouraging retirees to explore new interests, volunteer, and engage in fulfilling projects can help mitigate these risks and lead to a more rewarding retirement experience.The authors investigate the factors that spark the retirees' curiosity, particularly within the Arab World and Gulf States (GCC), highlighting the importance of sustaining life purposefulness post-retirement. Through the extensive synthesis of the literature reviewed, the paper presents a novel framework aimed at preserving retirees' contributions, complemented by a toolkit designed to enhance resilience amid transformative eras. The research opens avenues for empirical studies on aging economies within Arab countries, emphasizing readiness for employability and ongoing competency development. It advocates for a roadmap to ignite retiree interests through inquiry-based learning, addressing emerging challenges such as adaptability and learning through exploration.The authors also examine the early retirement trends driven by technological advancements, revealing underutilization of retirees' expertise and proposing methods to mitigate this through structured community involvement. With retirement demographics poised to shift significantly by 2050 in the Arab region, the need for robust pension systems and enhanced social services is underscored. The approach fosters skill transfer and community capacity building through volunteerism, mentorship programs, and intergenerational projects, aiming to integrate retirees as valuable societal contributors. This comprehensive framework re-engineers retirement into enablers phase and risk mitigation phase. The integration of both creates better strategic engagement and lifelong learning, promoting retirees' social interaction, mental stimulation, and overall well-being, ultimately enhancing the socioeconomic fabric of their communities.

A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevistas em profundidade, e a análise dos dados seguiu a técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados indicaram que a formação inicial recebida pelos professores não foi suficiente para prepará-los adequadamente para o uso de metodologias ativas, sendo comum a percepção de que o currículo de graduação é predominantemente teórico e pouco prático. Embora muitos professores já utilizem metodologias ativas como a aprendizagem baseada em projetos e jogos pedagógicos, enfrentam desafios, como a falta de recursos, resistência de colegas e pais, e limitações de tempo. A formação continuada foi apontada como uma estratégia importante para superar essas dificuldades. Como conclusão, constata-se que a formação inicial precisa ser revista para incluir mais conteúdos práticos sobre metodologias ativas, além de ser fundamental o apoio contínuo nas escolas, com recursos adequados e tempo para planejamento. Nesse cenário, a colaboração entre os professores e a troca de experiências também são essenciais para a efetiva implementação dessas metodologias.

A docência universitária tem sido objeto de estudo em diversas pesquisas realizadas no contexto atual. Diante disso, o presente estudo visa contribuir com reflexões a respeito da formação pedagógica de professores para a docência universitária. Considera-se como aspectos bastante relevantes as discussões acerca dos objetivos e concepções que orientam a formação de professores. A partir de então, questionou-se: como são constituídos os saberes profissionais dos professores universitários? Qual o papel da universidade na formação pedagógica dos professores? E, para responder a esses questionamentos, realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica com a finalidade de delinear os processos que orientam o fazer pedagógico do professor do ensino superior. O estudo em questão foi baseado em autores como Masetto (1998, 2020), Cunha (1998, 2005, 2008), Pimenta e Anastasiou (2014), dentre outros que discutem a temática.  Por meio da pesquisa realizada, constatou-se que os saberes docentes são constituídos por diversos meios, como programas de formação continuada, estágio de docência, valorização profissional, e que a universidade é um fator relevante no processo de formação pedagógica do professor, pois, ao oferecer programas de formação, esses se tornarão subsídios para o desenvolvimento profissional.

In the Kyrgyz Republic for the entire period as of 12/31/2023, 13 289 people were living with HIV infection. Testing, treatment, and viral load suppression cascades are 70 - 79 - 90. Treatment approaches and low immune status affect the survival rate of PLHIV receiving ART. The purpose of this study is to conduct a survival analysis in HIV-infected patients on ART as well as to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment depending on gender. Data of 13 289 registered cases in the Kyrgyz Republic among patients of 18 years and older on ART was processed. An analysis of viral loads, the level of CD4 and death rates was carried out at different periods of duration of ART. The duration of ART influences survival rates positively, the latter being higher in women. Women achieve virological effectiveness at the start of ART faster than men. Virological and immunological effectiveness among women on ART is higher than among men. Timely initiated ART increases survival rates, especially among women.

В Кыргызской Республике за весь период по состоянию на 31.12.2023 с ВИЧ-инфекцией проживало 13 289 человек. Каскады тестирования, лечения и подавления вирусной нагрузки составляют 70–79–90. Целью исследования является проведение анализа выживаемости ВИЧ-инфицированных пациентов на АРТ, а также оценка эффективности лечения в зависимости от пола. Использованы данные 13 289 зарегистрированных случаев по состоянию на 31.12.2023 года среди пациентов 18 лет и старше на АРТ. Анализ вирусной нагрузки, уровня CD4 клеток и смертности проводился в разные периоды длительности АРТ. Продолжительность АРТ положительно влияет на выживаемость, причем последняя выше у женщин. Иммунологическая и вирусологическая эффективность у женщин, получающих АРТ, выше, чем у мужчин. Своевременно начатая АРТ повышает выживаемость, особенно среди женщин.

Os efeitos ambientais negativos e o aumento nos relatos de casos de resistência de fungos a fungicidas, tem demandado esforços na busca de alternativas auxiliares ao manejo químico na cultura da soja, como o uso de agentes de controle biológico. Nesse contexto, o trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a compatibilidade do fungo Trichoderma harzianaum isolado IBLF 006, com fungicidas utilizados no tratamento de sementes de soja. O estudo foi conduzido no Instituto Federal de Rondônia (IFRO), Campus Ariquemes, e a compatibilidade avaliada in vitro por meio da realização de três ensaios experimentais, utilizando-se os fungicidas: Maxim Advanced®, Maxim XL®, Apron RFC®, Standak TOP®, Spectro® e Certeza N® e um tratamento controle. Foi avaliado o crescimento de Trichoderma em meio de cultura suplementado com os fungicidas, crescimento de Trichoderma em direção as sementes de soja tratadas com os fungicidas e porcentagem de colonização das sementes tratadas com fungicidas e Trichoderma. Foi verificado que todos os fungicidas afetaram negativamente o desenvolvimento de Trichoderma. A exposição constante aos fungicidas não permitiu o crescimento de Trichoderma, seja em meio de cultura suplementado com os fungicidas, ou sobre as sementes tratadas com os mesmos produtos. Quando inoculado distalmente a semente tratada observou-se redução nos danos provocados pelos fungicidas a Trichoderma. Os dados permitem concluir que os fungicidas avaliados no estudo apresentam incompatibilidade com o fungo Trichoderma harzianum isolado IBLF 006, não sendo recomendado a utilização do tratamento associado nas sementes de soja.
