SOCIAL MINIMUM LEVELS IN POLAND IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2023
Authors: Kurowski Piotr
Published: April 2024

This article summarises the estimates of the social minimum in the second quarter of 2023. Although the modelled household spending continued to increase during this period, its growth rate was lower than in the first quarter. With the CPI for the second quarter of this year relative to the second quarter of 2022 (13.1%), the values of the social minimum increased at a higher degree: from 15.2% (working household with a younger child) to 18.3% (working household of a single person). When the reference point is the first quarter of this year, the values of the social minimum also increased faster. With a CPI value of 1.9%, the social minimum rose from 3.0% (in a household of two adults with a younger child) to 3.6% (in an employee household of two adults without children). The main reason for the faster increase in the social minimum was higher model expenditure on housing and energy (3.4% - 3.6% depending on household size), as compared to low (+0.2%) infla-tion rate in this group. The dynamics of the value of the food basket was also higher than the CPI. With inflation for this group of needs at +2.9%. the value of food increased the most in adult house-holds and in families with an older child (+3.8 - 3.9%).
ASSESSMENT OF THE QUALITY AND YIELD OF COW COLOSTRUM OBTAINED IN THE FIRST 24 HOURS AFTER CALVING
Authors: Salamończyk Ewa , Krysiak Grzegorz
Published: April 2024

The aim of the study was to assess the quality of colostrum by measuring the refractive index on the BRIX scale with an electronic refractometer and the colostrum yield of Polish Holstein-Friesian cows on the first day after calving. The influence of the following factors on the above-mentioned colostrum characteristics was analyzed: time after calving, herd, lactation number, and length of the dry period before the cow's parturition. In total, colostrum from 21 cows (7 from each herd) was assessed. The assessment of yield and antibody content on the BRIX scale using an electronic refractometer was performed: up to 2 hours after calving and in subsequent milkings performed on farms (up to 12 hours and up to 24 hours after calving). There was a significant effect of the time after calving on the quality and efficiency of colostrum (P<0.05). The immunological value of colostrum assessed on the Brix scale decreased in subsequent milkings after calving and amounted to: 22.7%; 19.2%; 16.4%. However, the average colostrum yield increased with the time since the cows gave birth (from an average of 6.5 kg in the first colostrum collection to 9.4 kg in the period up to 24 hours after calving). The following factors were particularly important for the high value of first colostrum: the length of the dry period and the age of the cow. The best colostrum was produced by cows with a longer dry period, i.e. lasting from 46 to 59 days (23.4% Brix) and older cows in lactations from 4 to 7 (24.2% Brix).
Data lake management using topic modeling techniques
Authors: Cherradi Mohamed , El Haddadi Anass
Published: April 2024

With the rapid rise of information technology, the amount of unstructured data from the data lake is rapidly growing and has become a great challenge in analyzing, organizing and automatically classifying in order to derive the meaningful information for a data-driven business. The scientific document has unlabeled text, so it's difficult to properly link it to a topic model. However, crafting a topic perception for a heterogeneous dataset within the domain of big data lakes presents a complex issue. The manual classification of text documents requires significant financial and human resources. Yet, employing topic modeling techniques could streamline this process, enhancing our understanding of word meanings and potentially reducing the resource burden. This paper presents a comparative study on metadata-based classification of scientific documents dataset, applying the two well-known machine learning-based topic modelling approaches, Latent Dirichlet Analysis (LDA) and Latent Semantic Allocation (LSA).  To assess the effectiveness of our proposals, we conducted a thorough examination primarily centred on crucial assessment metrics, including coherence scores, perplexity, and log-likelihood. This evaluation was carried out on a scientific publications corpus, according to information from the title, abstract, keywords, authors, affiliation, and other metadata aspects. Results of these experiments highlight the superior performance of LDA over LSA, evidenced by a remarkable coherence value of (0,884) in contrast to LSA's (0,768)

Authors: Kresnadi Agus , Wahyu Martanto Tri , Zulkarnain Arif , Yazid Hizbillah
Published: April 2024

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by brittle bones and susceptibility to fractures. Management of OI focuses on minimizing fractures and improving bone strength. Denosumab and bisphosphonates have emerged as potential therapeutic agents in OI management due to their ability to modulate bone turnover. This literature review aims to explore the role of denosumab and bisphosphonates in the treatment of OI, highlighting their mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety profiles. A comprehensive search was conducted across various databases, to identify relevant studies investigating the use of denosumab and bisphosphonates in OI management. The review discusses the molecular pathways underlying the pathogenesis of OI and how denosumab and bisphosphonates intervene in these pathways to improve bone quality. Furthermore, the review summarizes the findings from clinical trials and observational studies evaluating the effectiveness of denosumab and bisphosphonates in reducing fracture rates, improving bone mineral density, parathyroid hormone changes, calcium and phosphate quantity, and also enhancing functional outcomes in patients with OI. Additionally, considerations regarding optimal dosing, timing of initiation, and potential adverse effects of denosumab and bisphosphonates in individuals with OI are discussed. The synthesis of existing evidence underscores the promising role of denosumab and bisphosphonates as adjunctive therapies in the management of OI, although further research is warranted to elucidate their long-term efficacy and safety profiles in this patient population

Published: April 2024

The prevalence rate of periodontal diseases corresponding to nicotine consumption by means of traditional or electric cigarettes is critical and deserves the attention of dental professionals because tobacco consumption contributes to an aggravation of periodontal disease making dental treatments less successful and increasing the risk of complications. The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of periodontal disease in relation to the consumption of conventional and electronic cigarettes in students of the Universidad Regional Autónoma de los Andes UNIANDES, Ibarra campus. A survey was carried out with the objective of analyzing the incidence of cigarette consumption, whether traditional or electronic, in students from third to sixth level of the Dentistry course of the Universidad Regional Autónoma de los Andes UNIANDES, Ibarra campus. In addition, articles extracted from PubMed were reviewed to contribute to the research on the consequences of the consumption of nicotine products. It was found that there was a higher rate of tobacco consumption in women, who opt for the use of traditional cigarettes, which is worrisome because despite knowing that it affects their oral health and have bleeding when brushing their teeth, they continue to consume nicotine products. It is concluded that the rate of consumption of nicotine products is high and despite the fact that the students already show warning signs such as bleeding when brushing their teeth, they continue with their habitual consumption

The impact of psychedelic treatment on patients suffering from psychiatric diseases like depression, anxiety, post-traumatic psychiatric disorder (PTSD), and existential distress related to cancer has become very intriguing to psychiatrists in the modern era. Serotonergic psychedelics include Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), psilocybin, mescaline, ayahuasca, and methylene-deoxy methamphetamine (MDMA) which act agonistically on 5-hydroxytryptamine type 2-A (5-HT2A) receptors. Psychedelics produce a wide range of effects, based on varying sites of 5-HT2a receptors, including changes in consciousness, perception, mood, and behaviour. Psychedelics can lead to both good and bad trips depending on the dose and environment in which it is taken. We used systematic approach by strictly following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Data is extracted from pub med using mesh strategy, and from google scholar and science direct by using keywords. 10 review articles are selected by using quality appraisal tools. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the mechanism of action and role of psychedelics in patients with mental health disorders. In this review, we discussed the effective models of neurodynamical changes produced by psychedelics, and we also show that these substances can be used as a potential treatment option for psychiatric patients. Psychedelics have shown effective improvement in psychiatric diseases in many pilot studies and randomized controlled trials. There is still a debate going on about which models best suggest their role in the field of psychiatry.

Authors: Nunes Silvya de Freitas , Kock Kelser de Souza
Published: April 2024

Introdução: O câncer de pulmão é uma doença grave, sendo a segunda maior causa de morte em todo o mundo, entretanto, em alguns países desenvolvidos, tornou-se já a primeira causa de morte. Cerca de 90% dos casos de neoplasia pulmonares são causados pela inalação da fumaça do cigarro. Objetivo: Correlacionar a prevalência de tabagismo e morbimortalidade por câncer de pulmão nos estados brasileiros, além de demonstrar a associação destes com sexo e faixa etária. Métodos: Estudo de caráter ecológico acerca da prevalência de tabagismo e morbimortalidade por câncer de pulmão nos estados brasileiros, nos períodos de 2013 e 2019, dividida por sexo e faixa etária. Foram utilizados bancos de coleta de dados como o Tabnet e Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde. Resultados: As maiores taxas de mortalidade e internações hospitalares foram do público masculino, em 2013, com taxa de 2,7 e 10, respectivamente, e em 2019 com 3,3 e 11,9, respectivamente. Ademais, a maior prevalência de tabagismo foi encontrada nos homens; entretanto seu índice tem caído, enquanto a quantidade de mulheres tabagistas tem aumentado. A Região Sul demonstrou maiores números de mortalidade em ambos os períodos estudados, com taxas de 4,9 e 5,8 por 100 mil habitantes, e morbidade hospitalar com 19,9 e 23,5 por 100 mil habitantes. Já a Região Norte se configurou com as menores prevalências: em 2013 apresentou taxa de óbito por câncer de pulmão de 1,0 e morbidade hospitalar de 3,5/100 mil habitantes, em 2019 apresentou taxa de mortalidade de 4,6 e internações de 1,6/100 mil habitantes. Os coeficientes de correlação de morbidade hospitalar e prevalência de tabagismo foram R2=0,0628, r=0,251 e p=0,042, enquanto os de mortalidade e prevalência de tabagismo foram R2=0,0337, r=0,183 e p=0,140. Conclusões: Na presente pesquisa, pode-se inferir que houve associação positiva na comparação entre taxa de morbidade hospitalar e prevalência de tabagismo; em contrapartida, não foi possível observar associação positiva na correlação da taxa de mortalidade por câncer de pulmão e prevalência de tabagismo.
Integrated Deterrence in the Asia-Pacific: Exploring Medium Power Strategic Autonomy
Authors: Khan Komal , Bano Sher
Published: April 2024

The study analyses the potential for strategic autonomy of the alliances and like-minded partners of the US and China with an emphasis on Japan and Australia as significant proximate states in addition to India and Pakistan from traditional Rimland states. The competing great powers construction of networked-security theatres under the balance of influence mechanisms fix medium powers as crucial stakeholders in the contested maritime theatres. Through this security networking, integrated deterrence is being achieved by conventional and non-conventional strategic technology exchange while retaining the policy of denial for nuclear acquisition. Therefore, it is important for the regional states to investigate the long-term impact of integrated deterrence in the form of potential medium power autonomy emanating from strengthened regional deterrence structures in the Asia-Pacific. That will in turn provide an idea about the extent to which these medium powers will be allowed to and can claim strategic autonomy in the emerging multi-polar order.

German film funding is to be restructured. In addition to a reform of the Film Subsidies Act and the introduction of a tax incentive model, an investment obligation for on-demand audiovisual media services is also being considered in terms of legal policy. Streaming services from international providers such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Disney+, as well as video-on-demand services from German TV channels such as RTL+, joyn or WOW, could be obliged to invest in European works, but above all in works in German, in accordance with certain quota requirements. Such a state investment obligation raises fundamental questions of constitutional and European law, which the study examines.
The Science behind Biofilm: Unraveling Enterococcus Genus’ Remarkable Ability to Produce Microbial Communities
Authors: Pirbonyeh Neda , Emami Amir , Javanmardi Fatemeh
Published: April 2024

The remarkable ability of Enterococcus to produce microbial communities, specifically biofilms, is a topic of interest in scientific research. Biofilms formed by Enterococcus species, are known to contribute to their survival in extreme environments and their involvement in persistent bacterial infections. The aim of this chapter is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying biofilm formation in clinically important species such as E. faecalis and the increasingly drug-resistant but less well-studied E. faecium. Enterococcus forms biofilms through a complex interaction between genes and virulence factors such as DNA release, cytolysin, pili, secreted antigen A, and microbial surface components that recognize adhesive matrix molecules (MSCRAMMs). Quorum sensing mediated by peptide pheromones targets gene expression and regulation and is essential for the coordination of biofilm formation. Furthermore, control over extracellular DNA (eDNA) release has been shown to be crucial for biofilm formation. In E. faecalis, autolysin N-acetylglucosaminidase and proteases such as serine protease and gelatinase are important players in this process, influencing biofilm development and virulence. The study of biofilm formation in Enterococcus can provide insights into the pathogenesis of opportunistic infections and their prevention and provide directions for future anti-biofilm therapeutic research.

Navigating Menstrual Health Challenges An Exploration of University Students’ Experiences amid Financial Constraints
Authors: Noor Izza , Noreen Fatima , Hassan Ali
Published: April 2024

For women, menstrual hygiene is an essential component of overall health. Achieving menstrual health means giving women and girls the resources and support they need to confidently take care of their bodies. The challenges of menstrual health are exacerbated due to period poverty and it is a problem with long-standing worldwide implications for community health. Period poverty is characterized by limited access to sanitary facilities, education, and menstruation supplies. The present study focuses on the unique challenges that university students encounter concerning menstrual health, particularly in the context of financial constraints. This research aims to shed light on the intersection of period poverty, academic life, and the ability to manage menstrual health challenges effectively. Different experiences of menstrual challenges faced by female university students due to financial constraints could be broadly grouped into four main themes including financial struggles, product choice and cultural sensitivities, physical and psychological challenges, and adapting to financial constraints. Many important economic and social problems are brought about by the rising cost of personal hygiene products and the ensuing impact on the financial standing of female college students. In order to enhance menstrual health, it is also imperative to address societal taboos surrounding certain hygiene items. Our findings show how important it is to acknowledge and address the financial aspects of menstruation health, increase awareness of less expensive options, and advocate for freely available and economically feasible menstrual hygiene products for female university students.

The necessity of managing business processes (a part of management innovations) as a reaction to inevitable changes in internal communication, the evolution of the company's strategy and culture, chaos, and adaptation to constant changes in emphasis and priorities is substantiated. The influence of the war in Ukraine as a strong factor of uncertainty on the industrial sector of the economy of the regions of Ukraine is analyzed. Based on the analysis of the experience of digital transformations of the world's giant companies, an attempt was made to highlight the key points of such transformations in Ukraine. The need for state support for developing innovations and digital transformation of the Ukrainian industry was emphasized.

Strategia polityki pieniężnej NBP od 1998 roku do wybuchu pandemii Covid-19
Authors: Kacprzak Marek
Published: April 2024

W okresie pandemii COVID -19 oraz po inwazji Rosji na Ukrainę w światowej literaturze ekonomicznej rozpoczęła się burzliwa dyskusja o strategii polityki pieniężnej jaką powinny prowadzić  banki centralne na świecie. Kanony polityki pieniężnej banku centralnego kształtowane są od powstania w XVII wieku pierwszych banków centralnych, czyli w Szwecji i Anglii. Zdaniem Autora artykułu, polityka pieniężna nie bierze się „znikąd” ale ma swoje historyczne korzenie. Dlatego też w tym artykule poddaję analizie strategię polityki pieniężnej NBP przed wybuchem pandemii COVID-19, która stanowi fundament dla obecnych działań NBP i Rady Polityki Pieniężnej w zakresie stabilizacji cen i walki z inflacją  na obecnym etapie rozwoju polskiej gospodarki
Wykorzystanie rachunku kosztów działań w konstruowaniu taryfy przedsiębiorstwa wodociągowo-kanalizacyjnego
Authors: Engelgardt Ewa
Published: April 2024

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest określenie metodyki alokowania kosztów przedsiębiorstwa wodociągowo-kanalizacyjnego na potrzeby przygotowywania taryf, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem metodyki rachunku kosztów działań w alokowaniu kosztów wliczanych w opłatę abonamentową. Artykuł zawiera przegląd literatury przedmiotu dotyczącej wykorzystania metod rachunku kosztów na potrzeby przedsiębiorstw wodociągowo-kanalizacyjnych, aktów prawnych, jak również analizę przypadków w tym zakresie. W artykule zawarto również propozycję wykorzystania metodyki rachunku kosztów działań w kalkulacji opłaty abonamentowej dla poszczególnych grup taryfowych wyodrębnianych przez przedsiębiorstwa wodociągowo-kanalizacyjne na potrzeby projektów taryf. Analiza literatury przedmiotu i aktów prawnych regulujących kwestię opracowywania taryf, a także analiza przypadków wykazały, że brakuje szczegółowych wytycznych czy rekomendacji w zakresie wykorzystywania narzędzi rachunku kosztów przy projektowaniu taryf przez przedsiębiorstwa wodociągowo-kanalizacyjne. W szczególności brak jest takowych rekomendacji w obszarze kalkulacji i składowych opłat abonamentowych. Wyniki badań mogą być stosowane bezpośrednio przez przedsiębiorstwa wodociągowo-kanalizacyjne, ale też zostać wykorzystane przy kalkulacji taryf przez przedsiębiorstwa z innych sektorów gospodarki.

Role of plant parasitic nematodes (pratylenchus goodeyi sher and allen) on fusarium wilt disease incidence and severity on banana
Authors:   , Shabani Hassan
Published: April 2024

A study to examine the status of Fusarium wilt disease (FWD) caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (Foc) and plant parasitic nematode (PPN) (Pratylenchus goodeyi Sher and Allen) on banana was conducted in January to August 2017 at Meru District in Arusha and Rungwe District in Mbeya regions Tanzania. Forty eight farms, twelve villages in major banana growing areas were assessed for FWD incidence, severity and PPN damage using standard protocols. A pot culture experiment was also conducted to study the role of PPN on incidence and severity of FWD on banana in selected susceptible and resistant cultivars. The results indicated that highest (72%) FWD severity was at Sing’isi ward (Meru District) and the lowest (25.83%) was at Mpuguso ward (Rungwe District). The highest FWD incidence (11.48%) was at Nkoaranga ward followed by Akheri ward (8.95%) in Meru District and the lowest incidence (0.83%) was at Mpuguso ward in Rungwe District. The highest PPN damage (37.5%) was at Kimo ward in Rungwe District and the lowest (17.5%) was at Lufingo ward in Rungwe Disrtict. Such results indicated that FWD incidence and severity and PPN damage are a problem in the study area. The results for pot culture experiment revealed that, nematode inoculated 14 days prior to Foc and combined inoculation, showed higher FWD disease incidence and severity with a reduction in plant growth compared with untreated control. Such results suggest that PPN play a positive role in the incidence and severity of FWD on banana by acting as a predisposing factor for the fungal pathogen infestation causing injuries on the root surface as well as weakening the root tissues by causing root lesions.

Published: April 2024

This study investigates how customer intimacy strategies influence the competitiveness of tier-III commercial banks in Kenya. Utilising a pragmatic research philosophy, it employs a mixed-methods approach and a descriptive cross-sectional design. Data were collected from middle and senior management across 21 tier III commercial banks, with a sample size of 288 respondents determined using Yamane's formula. Proportionate stratified random sampling ensured representativeness based on management staff functions. Regression analysis revealed a strong positive correlation (R = 0.822) between the Customer Intimacy Strategy and Organisational Competitiveness, explaining 67.5% of the variability. ANOVA results were highly significant (F (1, 238) = 494.589, p < .001), indicating the superiority of the regression model. The strategy showed individual significance with a t-statistic of 22.239 (p < .001) and a standardised beta coefficient of 0.822. Despite limitations, such as the focus on Kenyan tier III banks and potential response bias, the study provides actionable insights for banking sector decision-makers, emphasising the importance of prioritising customer intimacy for sustainable competitive advantages.

Desafios da dança na escola no pós-pandemia
Authors: Baldi Neila Cristina
Published: April 2024

O presente artigo discute os desafios da Dança na escola, apontando aqueles que se acrescentaram a partir do retorno à presencialidade no pós-pandemia. O texto traz reflexões e apontamentos a partir do acompanhamento de 11 estágios supervisionados em Dança na educação infantil e no ensino fundamental 1 no ano de 2022. Entre os desafios inerentes à Dança na escola estão a seleção de conteúdos e falta de currículo, os conceitos e pré-conceitos sobre dança, a falta de espaço físico e a descontinuidade da aprendizagem. Os dois anos de ensino remoto trouxeram outros desafios: o TikTok e a defasagem na aprendizagem em diversas áreas. Os relatórios de estágio indicam que boa parte dos desafios são comuns há muitos anos. Mas que o estágio foi a oportunidade de conhecer um pouco mais da profissão, do que esperar no mundo profissional, e de se encantarem e encantarem com suas docências entre as crianças.
