Published: October 2024

This research delves into the intricate interplay between the quality of food and price fairness and explores how these elements impact customers' inclination to return to UiTM hotel restaurants at the Shah Alam (Selangor Branch), Permatang Pauh (Pulau Pinang Branch), and Dungun (Terengganu Branch) locations. By examining the connection between these factors, this study aims to distinguish the individual influence they have on the likelihood of customers revisiting these establishments. To achieve this, a quantitative methodology was employed, involving the distribution of survey questionnaires to a sample of 366 participants who were patrons of UiTM hotel restaurants. Analysis of the data was conducted using SPSS software, specifically through the application of multiple regression analysis. By analyzing the perceived quality of food and fairness of pricing, this study seeks to illuminate the connections that shape customers' decisions to return to UiTM hotel restaurants. Understanding these relationships is most important for both practitioners and researchers in the hospitality industry, providing insights that can inform strategies for enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty. The findings contribute valuable knowledge, offering a comprehensive understanding of the factors that drive repatronage intentions in the context of UiTM hotel restaurant experiences. Finally, this exploration serves as a foundation for refining business practices and developing stable relationships between restaurants and customers.
Gender Discrimination in the Rental Housing Market: Conceptual Ideas and Empirical Evidence from Lagos, Nigeria
Authors:   University of Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria, Thontteh Esther
Published: October 2024

This study examines the complex issues surrounding gender discrimination in the rental housing market in Lagos, Nigeria. It investigates the reasons for gender preferences alongside the immediate reactions and responses of female tenants who experienced rental housing discrimination, which frequently manifests as higher rent demands, unfavourable lease terms and outright denial of housing, among others. The mixed methods study used instruments that were tested for reliability and validity, with copies of the questionnaire being served to real-estate practitioners and interviews conducted with female tenants to develop evidence-based policy recommendations for addressing gender discrimination and promoting equitable access to rental housing in Lagos State. Thus, the study makes an important contribution to the discourse of gender discrimination. Given the cultural roots of such discrimination, the study suggests the need for an awareness campaign targeting diverse actors within the housing market. The study noted that the Nigerian government has enacted laws to protect women's rights in housing, implementation remains a challenge. Therefore, promoting gender equality in housing requires the concerted efforts of government and the collective resistance of civil-society organisations and the private sector.
Atypical cervical spondylotic radiculopathy resulting in a hypertensive emergency during cervical extension: A case report and review of literature
Authors: Cui Hao-Cheng , Chang Zheng-Qi , Zhao Shao-Ke
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND

Extensive research revealed the absence of reports documenting hypertensive emergencies precipitated by changes in the cervical spine posture.

CASE SUMMARY

We here present a 57-year-old woman diagnosed as having cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) who was scheduled for anterior cervical decompression and fusion. During post-anesthetic positioning, a sudden hypertensive surge was observed when the patient was in a supine position with the neck being slightly extended. This surge was promptly reversed through cervical flexion and head elevation. This event however required an alternate surgical approach for recovery—posterior laminoplasty and endoscopy-assisted nucleus pulposus removal. Following the 6-month outpatient follow-up period, cervical flexion and extension activities substantially improved in the patient without any episodes of increase in acute blood pressure.

CONCLUSION

Maintaining a safe hypotensive posture and performing rapid, thorough decompression surgery may serve as effective interventions for patients presenting symptoms similar to those of CSR accompanied by hypertensive emergencies (HE). This would mitigate the underlying causes of these HEs.
Conversion hip arthroplasty for failed nailing of intertrochanteric fracture: Reflections on some important aspects
Authors: Yang Fu-Chun
Published: October 2024

In this editorial, I present my comments on the article by Solarino et al . Conversion hip arthroplasty, which is an optional salvage procedure performed following unsuccessful fixation of intertrochanteric femur fractures in elderly patients, entails more complex processes and higher rates of operative complications than primary arthroplasty. Hence, it is important to consider the appropriateness of the primary treatment choice, as well as the adequacy of nailing fixation for intertrochanteric fractures. This article briefly analyzes the possible factors contributing to the nailing failure of intertrochanteric fractures and attempts to find corresponding countermeasures to prevent fixation failures. It also analyzes the choice of treatment between nailing fixation and primary arthroplasty for intertrochanteric fractures.

El furor, la furia, la voracidad y la descompostura: evaluaciones del exceso pasional de mujeres en los archivos judiciales del Chile tardo colonial
Authors: Labarca Mariana
Published: October 2024

En este artículo se explora la forma en que en la zona central de la Capitanía General de Chile durante el siglo XVIII se identificó y evaluó el estado emocional de mujeres que, presas de emociones fuertes, reaccionaron de forma violenta y desaforada cometiendo “excesos” considerados fuera del marco de la ley. Para ello, se examinan expedientes judiciales que involucraron acciones violentas, disputas interpersonales y conflictos familiares en los que el estado de ánimo en el cual fueron cometidos los actos bajo escrutinio fue objeto de atención. Interesa explorar sobre todo cómo fueron descritos el exceso pasional o las emociones perturbadas de mujeres, comparado a la forma en que se describía los de los hombres, para poder establecer patrones en esta identificación y la evaluación que de ello hicieron los afectados, jueces, testigos y abogados. Se sugiere que la cultura chilena identificó en el “furor” y la “furia”, traducidos en reacciones que denotaban “voracidad” y “descompostura”, un germen de desestabilización interna que era cercano a la locura o que podía ser asimilado a ella. Este estado de alteración interna podía afectar tanto a hombres como a mujeres; sin embargo, la evaluación de sus implicancias fue en cada caso distinta.

Los artrópodos con glándulas productoras de veneno capaces de ocasionar accidentes de importancia en humanos han sido poco estudiados en Ecuador desde los puntos de vista epidemiológico, clínico o bioquímico a pesar de contar el país con una elevada diversidad de artrópodos en general. Se han producido accidentes severos en la regiones costera y amazónica del país a consecuencia de la mordedura de arañas (Phoneutria Perty) y picadura de hormigas “congas” (Paraponera clavata (Fabricius) y escorpiones (Tityus asthenes Pocock), los cuales han pasado desapercibidos en importancia sanitaria probablemente debido a su prevalencia en áreas rurales. No se han reportado accidentes por mordedura de arañas del género Loxosceles Heinecken & Lowe o por escolopendras (Clase Chilopoda, Orden Scolopendromorpha) o por contacto con orugas del orden Lepidoptera (familia Saturniidae) aunque existen en el país especies potencialmente tóxicas pertenecientes a estos grupos. Esta revisión contiene los resultados de un curso preparado por los estudiantes de Biología de la Facultad de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad de Guayaquil, con la finalidad de presentar, por vez primera, el estado del conocimiento sobre artrópodos venenosos en Ecuador pertenecientes a las clases Arachnida, Chilopoda e Insecta junto con las perspectivas de investigación sobre estos grupos de importancia médica en Biotecnología y Evolución.
La Evaluación del efecto de la salinidad y concentración de nitrógeno en la producción de lípidos totales de Dunaliella sp.
Authors: Moncayo Baño Shirley
Published: October 2024

La capacidad de la microalga Dunaliella de incrementar su contenido lipídico bajo condiciones de estrés impuestas por estímulos físicos o químicos, la convierte en uno de los géneros más estudiados para la producción de lípidos. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la influencia de diferentes concentraciones de NaCl (0,1 M y 2 M) y nitrógeno (2mM y 20 mM) en relación con un medio control (NaCl 0,5 M y 10 mM NO3 -) en la producción de lípidos de una cepa nativa de Dunaliella sp. Las mayores densidades celulares se obtuvieron con la salinidad 0,5 M (2,7 ± 0,15 x107 cel/mL) y con la concentración de nitrógeno 20 mM (3,29 ± 0,21 x 107 cel/mL). El mayor porcentaje de lípidos por gramo de biomasa (13,99%) y por litro de cultivo (7,83%) entre los tratamientos de salinidad se alcanzaron con 2 M NaCl. Entre los tratamientos de nitrógeno, el mayor porcentaje de lípidos por gramo de biomasa (16,88%) y por litro de cultivo (8,10%) se alcanzaron con 20 mM NO3 -. Los resultados sugieren que las altas salinidades y concentraciones de nitrógeno influyeron en la producción de lípidos de Dunaliella sp.

Дифференцированный подход к определению диастазного числа меда в зависимости от аналитических задач исследования
Authors: Цикуниб А.Д. , Колесникова А.В.
Published: October 2024

Рассматривается дифференцированный подход к определению диа-стазного числа меда в зависимости от поставленных аналитических задач. На основе анализа различных данных показана роль диастазы (амилазы) в составе меда как пока-зателя качества и натуральности. Обосновано влияние климато-географических условий и породных особенностей пчел на активность амилазы, выраженную в диастазном числе, которое определялось колориметрическим и амилокластическим методами. Авторы предлагают использовать амилокластический метод в варианте короткой ленты для экспресс-оценки натуральности и безопасности меда, в варианте средней ленты для оценки монофлерности меда и длинной ленты для выявления характерных значений ак-тивности амилазы при проведении научных исследований.

A differentiated approach to determining the diastase number of honey de-pending on the set of analytical tasks is considered. Based on the analysis of various data, the role of diastase (amylase) in the composition of honey as an indicator of quality and naturalness is shown. The influence of climatic and geographical conditions and breed characteristics of bees on the activity of amylase, expressed in the diastase number, which was determined by col-orimetric and amyloclastic methods, is substantiated. The authors propose to use the amyloclas-tic method in the short tape version for rapid assessment of the naturalness and safety of honey, in the medium tape version for assessing the monoflora of honey and long tape to identify char-acteristic values of amylase activity during scientific research.

В базовой гипотезе обозначены основные направления эволюции малых жанров в национальной прозе, просматриваемые в трансформации жанровой формы, в усложнении проблематики, в формировании новой концепции личности и художественной переработке фольклорного наследия. В литературоведческий оборот вводятся не исследованные ранее тексты, показательные для задачи описания и решения актуальной научной проблемы жанровых трансформаций. Рассказы современных авторов рассматриваются также с целью выявления в них способов реализации концепции национальной идентичности. Констатируется значимость роли интертекста в контексте кросскультурных связей и формирование новой концепции личности.

The article explores genre transformations of modern Dagestan short prose. The study analyzes structural and semantic features as well as various types of intertext and their significance within the analyzed works. The basic hypothesis identifies the main directions of the evolution of small genres in national prose, manifesting through the transformation of the genre form, the complication of problems, the formation of a new concept of personality and artistic processing of folklore heritage. Previously unexplored texts that are indicative of the task of describing and solving the current scientific problem of genre transformations are introduced into literary circulation. The stories of modern authors are also examined in order to identify ways in which they implement the concept of national identity. The dependence of the role of intertext in the context of cross-cultural connections and the formation of a new concept of personality are stated.

Social entrepreneurship education local authorities historical roots and future strategies
Authors: Georgieva Silviya
Published: October 2024

Social enterprises are the subject of great interest from authorities at various levels, academia, business promotion organizations. Policies and publications are growing at an impressive pace as high hopes are placed on them to solve painful social problems. Social enterprises have been studied in different dimensions. Individual participants of an ecosystem have been analyzed, including the potential of universities to promote social entrepreneurship and increase the efficiency of their management. A large part of the social problems, to which the activity of social entrepreneurs is directed, are within the prerogatives of local authorities. However, the role of support provided by universities and their potential to improve local social policies through social entrepreneurship is rarely explored and evaluated. In this regard, this publication is aimed at tracing the development of social entrepreneurship in our country in the context of education and local authorities, and on this basis, some generalizations are made, which can be a starting point for developing future strategies in the educational system to support social entrepreneurs and local authorities in the effort to find an answer to certain social challenges.

Authors: Slade Christine , Zurhellen Sarah , Conefrey Theresa
Published: October 2024

This paper recognises the importance of digital ethics when using ePortfolios and provides information about the development of a comprehensive resource from the Association for Authentic, Experiential and Evidence-based Learning (AAEEBL) Digital Ethics in ePortfolios Task Force’s four-year work. With the public release of ChatGPT addressing ethical challenges in education is critical. Over three years, the global Task Force diligently drafted, refined, and published a suite of digital ethics principles, strategies, scenarios, and resources, which is available as open source. In the fourth year (July 2022-June 2023), the Task Force formed three sub-groups to manage the growing number of objectives. The Development group explored intersections between principles and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), while evaluating data responsibility. The Outreach group disseminated the work through engaging workshops and publications, which also allowed the wider community feedback opportunities to further enhance the resources. Furthermore, the Research group undertook the ePortfolio Mapping Project to shed light on labour dynamics within ePortfolio practice across North America. The survey instrument was then adapted for data collection in Australia, and New Zealand. The paper highlights the significant achievements of these collective efforts, shares preliminary research findings, and offers valuable insights. It aims to promote ethical ePortfolio usage to enhance teaching, learning and assessment.
Practitioner Notes

Recognising potential ethical challenges in digital learning is critical.

ePortfolios enable integrated learning experiences to meet a range of pedagogical objectives, including the tracking of learning processes as well as end artefacts.

Learning how to apply ethical decision-making in using ePortfolios is essential.

Comprehensive resources have been developed to assist educators, students, professional staff, and other digital pedagogy stakeholders.

Research is underway into current ePortfolio practices which will inform future thinking, advocacy, and awareness.
Navigating the Contradictions of ePortfolio Implementation: A Practice-Based Approach Through the Lens of Activity Theory
Authors: Pingo Zablon , Sison Marty , Dianati Seb , Laudari Suman
Published: October 2024

EPortfolios have emerged as promising technology and practices to redefine pedagogical and learning practices in higher learning institutions. This study examines ePortfolio technology and practices implementation at - a dual-sector educational institution offering higher education and vocational training programs. The implementation, spearheaded by a dedicated central teaching and learning unit in collaboration with faculty academics, signifies a strategic institutional shift towards enhanced reflective practice and learning documentation. While prior research has acknowledged the general integration of ePortfolios within university pedagogy, there exists a lack of literature examining the nuanced challenges and prospects presented by learning design frameworks. Our paper seeks to address this gap by employing activity theory as an analytical framework to dissect the complexities of ePortfolio implementation within higher learning environments. Through the methodological lens of action research, we provide a nuanced narrative of the multi-faceted hurdles encountered during the roll-out of the ePortfolio platform and practices. Our findings not only delineate these obstacles but also showcase ePortfolios’ potential for pedagogical innovation. The paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on digital pedagogies, offering valuable insights for educators, administrators, and policymakers to navigate the challenges of ePortfolio implementation process. This way the study offers ways to navigate such challenges to harness the full spectrum of ePorfolio systems and practices to support successful implementation in higher education institutions.
Early Detection of Congenital Heart Diseases among Infants Using Artificial Neural Network Algorithm
Authors: Ezigbo Lucy Ifeyinwa , Kwubeghari Anthony , Okoye Francis
Published: October 2024

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) detection has continued to witness a consistent increase in research attention. CHD diseases are vast and also span across diverse demographics, without sparing pregnant women, unborn babies, or newly born babies. The aim of this study is to develop a detection model capable of detecting heart disease among infants with high accuracy and to also suggest solutions to manage it. To achieve this, the CHD types were identified to develop a data model that considered infants. The data model was processed through imputation, feature selection, and transformation using the imputation method and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). After the data processing stage, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm is adopted and trained with the data to generate the model for the detection of the CHD. Comparative analysis was used to evaluate the performance of the models in comparison with other models adopted in other works, considering metrics that defined the success of the detection models. The results showed that the ANN has the best detection outcome with an accuracy of 97.44%. Although the use of Logistic Regression algorithm attained a high level of performance with an accuracy of 95.00%, but it still falls below the proposed ANN algorithm. Another highly performing algorithm is the use of Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) which achieved an accuracy of 92.00%.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a widespread health issue that affects a significant proportion of women, particularly those who have experienced childbirth, undergone hysterectomy, or are postmenopausal. Objective: This study employs a secondary analysis to explore the long-term self-management of vaginal cube pessaries and its potential impact on sexual health in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Methods: The retrospective observational study was conducted at Sandeman Provincial Hospital in Quetta from 01 August 2022 to 31 July 2023. The sample consists of 100 women diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse who were treated with vaginal cube pessaries. Data was collected from the clinical records of patients who were part of the hospital’s pessary management program during the study period. Results: Data were collected from 100 participants. The majority of participants in this study were between the ages of 50 and 69 years (65%), with 75% of the women being postmenopausal. A significant portion of the population (60%) had more than two children, which is a common risk factor for pelvic organ prolapse. Most of the participants were diagnosed with moderate to severe prolapse, with 45% in Stage II and 30% in Stage III, indicating that the sample represents a range of prolapse severity, including advanced cases (Stage IV, 15%). Patient satisfaction with pessary self-management was generally high, with 50% of participants being highly satisfied and 30% moderately satisfied. Only 20% expressed dissatisfaction, which suggests that most women found self-managing their pessaries to be beneficial. Conclusion: This study concludes that long-term self-management of vaginal cube pessaries significantly improves sexual function and overall quality of life in women with pelvic organ prolapse.

التدخل في الحجز

من خلال دراسة موضوع التدخل في الحجز رأينا انه لا يجوز تعدد إجراءات التنفيذ على نفس المال. وهذه القاعدة التي يعبرون عنها في الفقه (أن الحجز لا يرد على الحجز) لم تقتصر فوائدها فقط على المدين ودائنيه, وذلك بتوفير النفقات والوقت والجهد. بل تتعدى ذلك لتساهم بشكل أو بأخر في تقليص الإجراءات التي يتطلبها القانون لتوقيع الحجز. فالمحضر يقتصر دوره في الحجز الثاني على جرد المحجوزات وإعلان محضر الجرد دون إيقاع حجز أخر عليها .فيجد أمامه حارسآ يقوم بتسهيل مهمته ,وذلك بأن يبرز له صورة محضر الحجز الأول, ويقدم له الأشياء المحجوزه ليقوم بجردها ومن ثم حجزها لصالح كل الحاجزين .وهذه النتيجة تنعكس أيجابآ على نوعين من الإجراءات الأول: وهو عدم تعيين حارس أخر على المحجوزات بوجود الحارس الأول. والثاني: إجراء بيع واحد لصالح كل الحاجزين. وتوفير الوقت والإجراءات نلتمسه أكثر في الحجز على الثمن تحت يد المحضر, وذلك لأن المشرع في نص المادة (432) مرافعات سهل التدخل في أمرين وهما: 1. جواز التدخل بعد بيع المحجوزات وذلك باشتراك الدائن المتدخل في الثمن. 2. إيقاع الحجز على الثمن دون حاجة إلى طلب الحكم بصحة الحجز. إن توحيد إجراءات الحجز في حالة تعدد الحجوز, يساهم ولو بشكل غير مباشر في معالجة مشكلة بطء إجراءات التقاضي أمام المحاكم والتي يعد تعقيد الإجراءات أحد أهم أسبابها .

Authors: Liu Wenji
Published: October 2024

The main purpose of this study is to use the method of multiple linear regression to conduct a comprehensive discussion on "Factors affecting the market price of Premier League striker players". In the era of increasingly hot soccer, the transfer of stars is a big attraction in the transfer period every year, but there are still many clubs signing overpaid and underpaid players. The overall objective of this study is to find the determinants of players' price, so as to provide a reference for clubs to improve the utilization of funds in the transfer period. In this study, a dataset of player data for the 17-18 Premier League season was first downloaded via Kaggle. Then, the dataset obtained from Kaggle was used for empirical analysis to identify correlations that significantly affect the market price of players, and multiple linear regression analysis was performed after processing these data. Through the calculations, it was determined that match performance and goals scored had a significant positive impact on market value, and age and match possession had a non-significant negative impact on market value, which suggests that there is a need for the relevant team managers to optimize these aspects in order to promote a virtuous cycle of club development and team performance.
