Published: June 2024

Global leaders have adopted sustainable development goals to address critical issues like climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution from both human activities and firms. Over the years, there has been a demand for stricter regulations, accountability, and improved sustainable business practices by stakeholders. In the field of accounting, voluntary disclosure of firms’ sustainability efforts has become an important component of firm reporting architecture. Despite being a voluntary practice in many jurisdictions, sustainability reporting has become essential for firms to demonstrate their commitment to meeting sustainability goals, ensuring future growth, and achieving long-term success. This study examines firms’ sustainability reporting intentions and further investigates the dominant factors that drive such intentions, relying on the extended version of the Theory of Planned Behaviour. Data for the study were gathered from managers of member firms with the Association of Ghana Industries. Using a total of 518 valid responses, the study’s hypotheses were tested employing the partial least square structural equation modelling technique. The results indicate that subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, dynamic capabilities, cultural tightness–looseness, sustainability commitment, and perceived benefit are good predictors of firms’ sustainability reporting intentions. However, the results suggest an inverse relationship exists between attitude, perceived cost, and intention to engage in sustainability reporting. The findings highlight some of the critical factors driving sustainability reporting behaviour among firms.

Published: June 2024

The imperative shift towards ecological consciousness in architectural design, driven by the pressing need to mitigate energy consumption and carbon emissions while fostering user well-being, has propelled the discourse on sustainable architecture to the forefront of contemporary dialogue. Concepts such as ecological architecture, sustainable, green, and regenerative design have emerged as pivotal frameworks aimed at aligning architectural practices with environmental imperatives. In this evolving architectural landscape, the centers for ecological education (CEEs) play an important role, embodying the intersection of architecture and ecological education. These centers, with their diverse educational initiatives, provide dedicated spaces for comprehensive ecological education. However, a gap exists in the literature regarding studies focusing on CEEs and the evaluation criteria for such facilities. This article seeks to bridge this gap by evaluating buildings designated for ecological education, aiming to present ecological content while exemplifying sustainable architectural principles. The study employs a research by design approach, combining a literature review with site investigations and qualitative assessments to elucidate the unique challenges and opportunities inherent in designing CEEs. Criteria for assessing the ecological quality of buildings are formulated. Through a comparative analysis, the article identifies key parameters for evaluating CEEs, considering their dual function as educational spaces and architectural exemplars. The evaluation framework developed in this study provides a valuable tool for architects, designers, and policymakers seeking to promote ecological education and sustainable architectural practices.

The rise in cyanobacterial blooms due to eutrophication and climate change has increased cyanotoxin presence in water. Most current water treatment plants do not effectively remove these toxins, posing a potential risk to public health. This study introduces a water treatment approach using nanostructured beads containing magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for easy removal from liquid suspension, coated with different adsorbent materials to eliminate cyanotoxins. Thirteen particle types were produced using activated carbon, CMK-3 mesoporous carbon, graphene, chitosan, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidised cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF), esterified pectin, and calcined lignin as an adsorbent component. The particles’ effectiveness for detoxification of microcystin-LR (MC-LR), cylindrospermopsin (CYN), and anatoxin-A (ATX-A) was assessed in an aqueous solution. Two particle compositions presented the best adsorption characteristics for the most common cyanotoxins. In the conditions tested, mesoporous carbon nanostructured particles, P1-CMK3, provide good removal of MC-LR and Merck-activated carbon nanostructured particles, P9-MAC, can remove ATX-A and CYN with high and fair efficacy, respectively. Additionally, in vitro toxicity of water treated with each particle type was evaluated in cultured cell lines, revealing no alteration of viability in human renal, neuronal, hepatic, and intestinal cells. Although further research is needed to fully characterise this new water treatment approach, it appears to be a safe, practical, and effective method for eliminating cyanotoxins from water.
Hydraulic Travel Time Diagnosis Using Recovery Data from Short-Term Pumping Tests for Rapid Aquifer Characterization: A Numerical Study with Monte-Carlo Simulations

Published: June 2024

In the realm of groundwater science, characterization of heterogeneous aquifers is pivotal for resolving diverse groundwater resource and engineering-related problems that require the detailed spatial distribution of hydraulic parameters. As research progresses, one hydraulic tomographical method, which is based on hydraulic travel time inversion, emerges as a promising and rapid method due to its robust and efficient calculation. In the field, the acquisition of hydraulic excitation and head observation data required for inversion is less time-consuming. Data collection from a single hydraulic test (such as a pumping test) typically takes only a few minutes or even a few tens of seconds. However, the field application of this method faces challenges. Hydraulic travel time is typically generated in the early stages of hydrogeological tests (e.g., early drawdown of a pumping test), yet accurate data may not be readily available because of the noise signals from test equipment, which can contaminate travel time signals, leading to inaccurate inversion results. A potential solution lies in utilizing the smooth head observation during the recovery period after the pump is turned off, which yields more accurate travel times for inversion calculations. In this paper, the mathematical development suggests that the travel time of the recovery phase aligns with that of the pumping phase when pumping reaches a steady or quasi-steady state. Subsequently, by employing Monte-Carlo simulations, 1200 realizations of two-dimensional heterogeneous confined aquifer models were generated for simulating pumping tests with different pumping durations. The calculated head data were then utilized to compute the travel time derived from drawdown data (t) and recovery data (t′), respectively. Comparisons showed that t is equal to t′ when drawdown reaches a steady or quasi-steady state. Conversely, when the pump is turned off before reaching a quasi-steady state, t differs from t′. However, results also indicate the fact that a decent hydraulic travel time diagnosis can be obtained, especially for the cases when travel times are smaller than 15 s. Given the statistical results of Monte-Carlo simulations, as well as experience during pumping tests in the field with different scenarios, using the recovery data from 60 s of pumping duration, or extended pumping durations of 100 s or 200 s as a more conservative alternative, can replace the aquifer characterization based on drawdown data. The new inversion strategy not only has less data uncertainty and equivalent inversion accuracy, but also can greatly enhance the repeatability of field tests and reduce the environmental impact of long-term pumping tests.

Battle Royale (BR) genre games are still played and have massive players around the globe. They are characterized by survival and exploration elements, featuring last-man-standing gameplay that motivates players to be the final contestant in the game. This BR can now be played on single platforms and cross-platform. Apex Legends is a free-to-play hero shooter where competitors from across the frontier join forces to battle for glory, fame, and fortune. Apex Legends can be played on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and Switch. This research aims to understand the data captured by the game Apex Legends, played on the PlayStation 5 console and displayed on a 4K television. This data was then analyzed to measure the correlation with game performance during gameplay. This research used a quantitative method, primary data, and descriptive measurements. From the findings, it can be concluded that the FPS for this game performed well since it was still near 60 FPS (59.81) with a standard deviation of 1.07. IO could not be analyzed for network performance since no official parameters for this IO were found on the official web during the research. However, Packet Loss and Choke performed well, with an average of 0 and a standard deviation of around 0. The ping value is enormous, with a significant standard deviation gap; this can happen because the server distance is longer to Tokyo from Jakarta than Singapore. Even though the latency was high, gamers still found the matches enjoyable.

Современный подход к хирургии основания черепа дал возможность резекции сложных, распространенных опухолей. Но особую проблему все же продолжают составлять яремные или вагальные параганглиомы (хемодектомы, гломусные опухоли) ввиду их высокой васкуляризации и анатомической близости к крупным сосудам головы и шеи: яремная вена, сигмовидный и нижний каменистый синус, эмиссарная вена сосцевидного и мыщелковых отростков, каменистый сегмент внутренней сонной артерии. Повреждение их стенок во время операции ведет к массивным кровопотерям, что как затрудняет ход операции, так и требует восполнения компонентов крови и более длительного наблюдения за пациентами в послеоперационном периоде. Поэтому критически важно планирование операции с предупреждением всех факторов интраоперационной кровопотери. Для решения этого вопроса проведен анализ медицинской литературы по использованию методов венозной эмболизации и защиты стенок ВСА, применяемых при хирургическом лечении параганглиом основания черепа, а также возможностям эндоваскулярной хирургии на сегодняшний день. Цель работы – повышение эффективности хирургического лечения параганглиом основания черепа (тип С2–С4 по классификации U. Fisch и D. Mattox) путем выбора оптимальных способов венозной окклюзии и анализа рациональности стент-ассистенции внутренней сонной артерии как методов предоперационной подготовки.

Advances in skull base surgery make it possible to remove tumors with a difficult location. But jugular or vagal paragangliomas are a particular problem because it has a high vascularization and anatomical proximity to the large vessels of the head and neck: jugular vein, sigmoid and inferior petrosal sinus, emissary vein of the mastoid and condylar processes, petrosal segment of the internal carotid artery. Damage to the walls of blood vessels during surgery leads to massive blood loss and as a consequence in this case requires replenishment of blood components and leads to longer patient follow-up in a hospital. That is why it is critically important to plan the operation with the elimination of all factors of intraoperative blood loss. To solve this problem, we studied the methods of venous embolization and protection of the walls of the ICA in the available medical literature. Those Articles presented the surgery of paragangliomas of a base of the skull and the modern possibilities of endovascular surgery of the cerebral vessels. The purpose of the work isincreasing the efficiency of surgical treatment of paragangliomas of the skull base (type C2–C4 according to the classification of U. Fisсh and D. Mattox) by choosing the best methods of venous occlusion and analyzing the rationality of stent- assistance of the internal carotid artery as methods of preparing for surgery.

Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study was to identify major characteristics of children and youth with mental health problems who have contact with police officers and to determine which variables lead to the highest probability of police intervention and if there are differences between children and youth compared to adults. Two samples were taken from data obtained from the use of a new police brief mental health screener (interRAI BMHS) in a large southwestern Ontario city between April 2016 and April 2019: 619 cases under age 18 and 4,084 cases over age 18. Univariate and bivariate analysis revealed that all 23 variables on the BMHS were significantly associated with police intervention except for intoxication by drugs or alcohol, squalid home environment, and refusal to take prescribed medication. Variables with the highest odds of police intervention included hallucinations, diminished cognitive skills for daily decision-making, and family or others concerned for potential self-harm. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the variables most predictive of police intervention were hallucinations, lack of insight into their own mental health problems, violent ideation, violence to others, self-injurious attempt in the last 7 days, suicide plan, diminished cognitive skills for daily decision-making, and family or others concerned for self-harm. As to the differences between under and over age 18, adults had higher frequencies of intoxication, hallucinations, delusions, pressured speech, and abnormal thoughts, while under age 18 had slightly higher frequency of socially inappropriate/disruptive behaviour. Risk of harm variables were high in both groups; however, they were clearly higher in the under age 18 group, in particular self-injurious attempt in the last 7 days. The results of this study indicate that there are distinct differences between why police officers intervene with children and youth as opposed to adults which should be reflected in police training and intervention policy.

Published: June 2024

Tikslas. Apžvelgti mokslinę literatūrą, supažindinti in­tensyviosios terapijos skyriuose (ITS) dirbantį perso­nalą su sedacijos galimybėmis naudojant inhaliacinius anestetikus.

Metodika. Duomenų bazėse PubMed, Google Scholar, ClinicalKey buvo atrinkta 41 mokslinės literatūros pu­blikacija, nagrinėjanti inhaliacinių anestetikų panaudo­jimo ITS indikacijas, privalumus panaudojimo būdus ir trūkumus.

Rezultatai. Inhaliacinių anestetikų naudojimas ITS sie­jamas su trumpesniu ekstubacijos laiku, retesniu delyro pasireiškimu, mažesniu opioidų poreikiu. Šis metodas lemia greitesnį atsigavimą po sedacijos, daro teigiamą poveikį širdies ir kraujagyslių sistemai. Šis sedacijos būdas negali būti taikomas vyresnio amžiaus, termina­linės būklės su dauginiu organų disfunkcijos sindromu ar galvos traumą patyrusiems pacientams. Geriausias naudos bei rizikos santykis gaunamas ilgalaikę sedaciją taikant pacientams su status epilepticus, status asthma­ticus, sergantiems kepenų ar inkstų funkcijos nepakan­kamumu, ūminiu respiracinio distreso sindromu ar pri­klausomiems nuo opioidų. Inhaliaciniai anestetikai ITS gali būti tiekiami naudojant „Sedaconda“ prietaisą arba MIRUS sistemą. Inhaliacinių anestetikų naudojimas ITS nėra kasdienė praktika, todėl reikia papildomai apmo­kyti personalą. Toks sedacijos būdas turi ir trūkumų – netinkamai naudojami prietaisai gali teršti aplinkos orą, o patekę į aplinką inhaliaciniai anestetikai yra šiltnamio efektą didinančios dujos. Naudojant inhaliacinius aneste­tikus, didėja neorganinių fluoridų koncentracija kraujyje, galinti sukelti sunkias nefrogeninio necukrinio diabeto komplikacijas.

Išvados. Inhaliaciniai anestetikai yra visavertis sedacijos metodas ITS, tinkamas tam tikroms pacientų grupėms. Naudojant inhaliacinius anestetikus sedacijai, reikia atsi­žvelgti į individualias paciento savybes, įvertinti galimą komplikacijų riziką.

This study aims to find out if Bangladesh has managed to reduce inequality between urban and rural populations in WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene) services throughout the last decade. This study analyzed publicly available WASH data from Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) website. Using Ratio, Theil Index, and Concentration Index methods, this study finds that the inequality between rural and urban areas in water and hygiene facilities has reduced throughout the last decade, but, has increased in sanitation facilities. Findings summarized that in both urban and rural areas, WASH services are more concentrated on advantaged than disadvantaged subgroups in society. This study found that there is still a high level of inequality between urban and rural areas inbasic hygiene and sanitation services, and collaborative effort is needed to reduce that gap. This study also suggests more coordinated policy adaptation and implementation to ensure the availability of WASH services, especially for people living in informal settlements, remote areas, and socially vulnerable groups, to achieve SDG 6 and to create equal opportunity for all.

Este estudo in vitro avaliou a precisão dimensional de diferentes técnicas de moldagem de transferência para prótese suportada por múltiplos implantes. Uma barra metálica foi confeccionada sobre um modelo mestre com três implantes inclinados. Foram criados cinco grupos, tendo como fatores de estudo a união dos transferentes de moldagem: fio ortodôntico e GC Pattern LS®, nas alturas de 5 mm e 2 mm da cinta do mini-pilar (PAT5 e PAT2); fio dental e resina Duralay®, nas mesmas distâncias (DUR5 e DUR2) e; um grupo controle (LIV), sem união dos transferentes. Oito modelos foram obtidos para cada grupo e foram feitas medições dos gaps das interfaces mini-pilar/estrutura nos modelos experimentais por meio de um projetor de perfil. Foram utilizados análise de variância e testes de Tukey. Os cálculos estatísticos foram realizados através do programa SPSS 23 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, EUA), adotando um nível de significância de 5%. A técnica de transferência PAT5 resultou em valores de gap significativamente inferiores aos encontrados no grupo PAT2, que, por sua vez, foi associado a gaps inferiores aos observados nos grupos DUR5 e DUR2. No grupo LIV, os valores dos gaps foram significativamente maiores do que nos demais grupos. Conclui-se que, dentre as técnicas pesquisadas, a técnica com transferentes esplintados com resina Pattern® e fio ortodôntico a 5 mm da cinta do pilar apresentou os melhores resultados, sendo a mais indicada para transferência de implantes múltiplos inclinados. A técnica com transferentes isolados apresentou comportamento menos favorável.
