The article presents a circular economy proposal as a way to promote greater sustainability in the footwear industry. As part of the work, we analysed the essential components for a shoe and the materials used in the production of footwear. Currently, new proposals have emerged for footwear that use materials derived from waste and the forwarding of specific end-of-life products. These new concepts are associated with added value and targeted marketing towards sectors of society more concerned with the industry's environmental impact. This reinforces the interest in the positioning of the footwear industry in relation to the circular economy. The purpose of this article focuses on the last phase of the circular economy – recycling, educating, and valuing the role of the consumer through the collection, treatment and forwarding of used footwear materials with the aim of reducing waste in landfills but simultaneously increasing awareness of the footwear industry.

Authors: - Arvind Uttiramerur
Published: October 2024

This paper discusses the automation of clinical trial reporting through the integration of RMarkdown and R Shiny, two powerful tools in the R programming ecosystem. As clinical trials become increasingly complex, the demand for efficient and reproducible reporting solutions has grown. Traditional methods of preparing Clinical Study Reports (CSRs), safety reports, and regulatory submissions are often labor-intensive and prone to errors. By leveraging RMarkdown, teams can create dynamic, reproducible reports that seamlessly incorporate data analysis, tables, figures, and narrative content, ensuring real-time updates with the latest data. Additionally, Shiny enhances this process by providing interactive capabilities, allowing users to explore data in a customizable environment. This paper highlights the benefits of automating clinical trial reporting, including improved efficiency, reduced errors, and enhanced reproducibility. It also presents practical use cases for medical writing and regulatory submission teams, illustrating how these tools can be integrated into existing workflows to produce high-quality, submission-ready documents. Ultimately, the automation of clinical trial reporting with RMarkdown and Shiny offers a transformative approach to streamline reporting processes and meet stringent regulatory requirements.
Cyber Security Risk Management
Authors: - Mohammed Mustafa Khan
Published: October 2024

Until organizations establish and implement necessary cyber security risk management programs, they lack assurance that their security controls are operating as expected. Additionally, organizations without cyber security risk management activities are left in the dark. They are not cognizant of information security vulnerabilities and threats impacting mission-critical operations until service disruption occurs. Most organizations mistakenly perform risk management as a one-and-done activity. They conduct risk assessments once and put them aside for a long time as they get engaged in their day-to-day operations; little did they know that their daily operations involved risks. Cyber security risk management is not a destination but an ever-ending journey that ensures the business operations are secure and maintains an acceptable level of risk in case cyber security disasters strike them. The threat landscape is ever-changing, elevating the level of risk for organizations. As organizations shift their operating environments from the Prem environment to cloud and containerized platforms, the attack surfaces are extended; thus, risk exposure is adversely increased with all these transitions. For instance, any time a new device is added to the network, it signals an additional potential risk. Threat exposure has become a dynamic factor, so organizations must normalize evaluating their risk by adopting and implementing a cyber security risk management strategy.

Authors: - PINTU BISWAS , - PRABHAT DEBBARMA
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTIN
Disorders of pancreatico-biliary system are common all over the world. Commonly occurring disorders of pancreaticobiliary systems are cholelithiasis, choledocholithiasis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, cholangitis, gall bladder carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, carcinoma pancreas, peri ampullary growth etc. Variety of imaging modalities are available including ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT) and invasive cholangiography for the evaluation of those above mentioned conditions. All these techniques have their own limitations. MRCP overcomes these limitations. MRCP is an excellent, non-invasive, radiation free and highly sensitive diagnostic procedure for patients with suspected bile duct or pancreatic duct abnormalities.
MATERIAL & METHOD
This single-center, hospital based prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Radiodiagnosis at AGMC and GB Pant Hospital, Agartala, Tripura over a period of 7 months. All the patients, who were referred for MRCP, from various department of this institution to Department of Radiodiagnosis and in whom the study was done, were included in this study. A total of 100 patients were included.
RESULT
The mean age of the study sample was 45.87 years with a range of 0 to 90 years. Among them, 51 were male and 49 were females. Most of pathologies observed were benign – in 81 cases (81%). Most common benign disorder observed was Cholelithiasis (43%) followed by choledocholithiasis (26%). Rest 19 cases (19%) were malignant.
CONCLUSION
MRCP is noninvasive, non-ionizing imaging modality for evaluation of the pancreaticobiliary anatomy and pathology, having highest resolution of the pancreaticobiliary tree. It is becoming a non-invasive alternative to Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio pancreatography (ERCP).

Authors: - Catlyn O. Pongot , - Mary Ann R. Pasaje
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the determinants influencing investment decisions among multipurpose cooperatives in the SOCCSKSARGEN Region. Factors such as capital structure, risk considerations, cooperative direction, and institutional support were examined as predictors of investment behavior. Data were collected from 140 multipurpose cooperatives through face-to-face interviews, email surveys, and video conferences. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that the identified factors—capital structure, risk considerations, cooperative direction, and institutional support—do not significantly predict investment decisions among multipurpose cooperatives in the region. The findings suggest a need for improvement in investment activities, particularly through increased exposure to financing and investment programs offered by both public and private institutions. Additionally, the study highlights the financial constraints faced by multipurpose cooperatives, hindering their expansion capabilities. Strategies to optimize capital structure for investment purposes, enhance risk assessment mechanisms, align investment decisions with cooperative objectives, and broaden institutional support are recommended. The study also underscores the importance of context-specific frameworks in cooperative settings and proposes avenues for future research, including expanding sample size, exploring alternative methodologies, and refining theoretical models. Overall, addressing financial constraints, enhancing strategic planning, and fostering partnerships with both public and private sectors are essential for facilitating informed investment decisions among multipurpose cooperatives in the SOCCSKSARGEN Region.

Authors: - Chetouh  Noureddine
Published: October 2024

Agricultural development and strategic planning require good reliable and comparable data that can guide appropriate policies and good governance to provide experts and decision makers in countries with effective tools. However, the quantitative measurement of sectors of the Algerian economy is relatively recent when compared with developed countries. Agriculture, fishing and forestry sector can if exploited should promote economic growth and protect national food security.
Agricultural production was not only an engine of economic recovery in many countries but also a vital contributor to job creation, value added and output. The researcher used the input-output analysis method (IOA) and its analytical indicators of the interdependencies between sectors in the Algerian economy. This method is generally used to estimate the effects of positive or negative economic shocks and to analyze the crumbling effects across the economy. Using the PYIO package and drop them on the Algerian input-output tables for the separate years 2005-2010 -2016 and 2019. The main purpose of this paper is to estimate the output impacts of Agriculture, fishing and forestry sector if will be extracted, and identifying key sectors at different levels of time series. To achieve this two purposes, finding on both analytical and empirical grounds from input-output analysis technique and the data available from Algerian input-output tables, the researcher used linkage analysis. To study these measures our empirical study is based on sectoral output and output impacts for 18 Algerian sectors of four different years; The quantitative study showed the potential of the agricultural sector which was classified as a key sector according to HEM, reflecting the potential to be the locomotive of the Algerian economy in the 21st century. In addition, the study concluded that the agricultural sector in terms of wealth formation is in second position, but on the output and income side, the sector still need help, a big push to enable him to take the leading role in development path. It is a promising sector if there is human potential, especially the skilled hand to become a sector of the agriculture industry.

Anomaly Detection in Healthcare Data Warehouses using ML
Authors: - Arun Kumar Ramachandran Sumangala Devi
Published: October 2024

Fast emergence of digitalization leads to unprecedented growth in the generation of the healthcare sector-particularly EHRs and medical equipment data. This extended the way for challenges for integrity in managing data and anomaly detection, including fraudulent transactions, medication errors, and many more system failures. Modern healthcare data poses a challenge to traditional methods of anomaly detection due to high and complex dimensionality. Machine learning provides a strong solution, using algorithms such as Gaussian Mixture Models, One-Class SVM and deep learning algorithms such as Autoencoders, and Recurrent Neural Networks in the detection of anomalies in healthcare data warehouse settings [1]. This study reports how ML can help advance care for patients, enable the validity of the data and reduce costs through real-time monitoring, fraud detection, and early detection of diseases. Applying anomaly detection through ML would most likely bring better operational performance, patient safety, and decision-making in health care for organizations as issues of poor data quality, lack of interpretability of models, and real-time detection would be addressed .
Women's Land Rights in Africa: Societal Demands and Challenges
Authors: - Monalisa Deka
Published: October 2024

The land is one of the cornerstones of economic development on which farmers, pastoralists and other communities base their livelihoods. Land is also an important aspect of business assets, which is crucial in business investment strategies. Thus, securing land rights can have profound implications on economic development. Land in rural areas is both a means of agricultural production and livestock rearing and a place for gathering natural products that play an important role in local economies such as woodcutting, wild harvesting, grazing, fishing, hunting, etc. Furthermore, land is a source of identity and cultural heritage. An increasing body of literature has produced tangible evidence highlighting the insecure position of women's land rights. The existing gender inequality in access to and control over land and natural resources is an obstacle to the sustainable management of natural resources and socio-economic development. Land is an important source of security against poverty across the continent and developing world, unequal rights to land put women at a disadvantage, perpetuate poverty, and entrench gender inequality in Africa. Gender has become a critical issue in women's land rights because there is direct relationship between accessing land resources, having secured land rights, achieving food security and overcoming poverty, women produce more than 80% of the food in Africa, yet they own only 1% of the land (Smit, Ratta, & Nasr, 2011). Improving access to land to women and control of land is crucial to socio-economic development of Africa. Several countries in Africa have either formulated their land policies or are in the process of doing so. Reforms seeking to formalize land rights must intentionally consider the economic, social and political dimensions of property rights to ensure that women are not left worse off by the process. At the same time to be effective in the long term, the reforms must consider the social as well as legal legitimacy of the change they seek.
Economic Security: Global Implications
Authors: - Havisshma Manjunath
Published: October 2024

This is a review paper that discusses the economic security strategies of the Major economies of the world. The economies of the USA, China, Japan, EU, and India have been discussed and compared. The review analysis shows that Economies with a good hold on the industrial sector and low trade deficit perform well in economic shocks and have good long-term growth. Although the Economy of the USA is the largest in the world, the Debt is increasing day by day, this shows that financial systems need to be in place to ensure long-term stable growth and employment creation. Japan seems to have a solid growth rate after the WW II, solely due to dedication and the alignment of common objectives of people in power. India seems to have a stable growth rate yet due to overpopulation, providing employment is a huge problem to solve for the government, this has been discussed briefly in the paper.

Authors: - Pratyush Prakarsh , - Ujjwal Raj , - Siddharth Kamble , - Kriti Nand
Published: October 2024

Intellectual Property (IP) is a cornerstone of the modern innovation economy, providing legal frameworks that protect the creations of inventors, artists, and businesses. This paper explores the critical role that IP plays in fostering innovation and driving economic growth. By granting exclusive rights to creators, IP incentivizes investment in research and development (R&D), encourages entrepreneurship, and stimulates the growth of IP-driven sectors such as technology, pharmaceuticals, and entertainment. However, the paper also examines the complexities of IP protection, including its potential to create monopolies, limit competition, and hinder the dissemination of knowledge. The discussion emphasizes the importance of balanced IP policies that promote innovation while ensuring accessibility to technology and knowledge. It further explores the global IP landscape, highlighting how well-designed IP systems can contribute to national and global economic progress. By analyzing both the benefits and challenges of intellectual property, this paper provides recommendations for optimizing IP frameworks to promote sustainable economic growth in the knowledge-driven economy of the 21st century.

A New Framework for Food Catering Price Determination
Authors: Drejeris Rolandas , Samuolaitis Mindaugas
Published: October 2024

This article aims to propose a reasonable quantitative (mathematical) expressions for the price calculation of food-manufacturing products. Little research has been conducted on the validity of food product pricing; thus we have identified a need for a thorough, systematic investigation in this area. The suggested three methods are also applicable for developing the artificial intelligence system to solve raw food material (resources) quantity management and other inventory issues in collaboration with the food suppliers. We consider the option of an appropriate pricing strategy in the profit-making catering and other food production firms to be a relevant scientific issue, which we have have addressed and proposed solutions for in this article. By analyzing different scientific assumptions and attitudes, informed quantitative decisions were made. We also developed and described quantitative expressions for determining the price of food products using mathematical formulas. Also, we found that a simple three-digit rule, based on logic and proportional modeling of actions, as the main instrument is the most effective approach for formulating these pricing models. Original and innovative mathematical methods for the price accounting of food production have been created and explained. We have also explained how each of the three suggested methods works, along with their advantages and disadvantages in certain situations. Using these recommended methods of pricing will allow food companies to achieve more appropriate commercial results and to make less expenditure for decisions regarding the pricing of food products. In the article, we explained how to calculate the prices of food and catering companies using simple math. The application of any of the three mentioned techniques regarding existing circumstance will enable food production companies to ensure a straightforward yet accurate determination of the product price that aligns with the current situation.

In this work, we analyse the class of strictly pseudocontractive mappings in general metric
spaces by providing a comprehensive and appropriate definition of a strictly pseudocontractive mapping, which
serves as a natural extension of the existing notion. Moreover, we establish its various characterizations and ex-
plore several significant properties of these mappings in relation to fixed point theory in CAT(0) spaces. Specif-
ically, we establish that these mappings are Lipschitz continuous, satisfying the demiclosedness-type property,
and possessing a closed convex fixed point set. Furthermore, we show that the fixed points of the mappings can
be effectively approximated using an iterative scheme for fixed points of nonexpansive mappings. The results in
this work contribute to a deeper understanding of strictly pseudocontractive mappings and their applicability
in the context of fixed point theory in metric spaces.

The paper investigates a new type of contraction called $(M, K, \psi)$-HR-Ćirić-Reich-Rus contractions, which extends the existing research on Ćirić-Reich-Rus contraction mappings. We prove fixed point theorems by enriching $(M,K,\psi)$-HR-Ćirić-Reich-Rus contractions with respect to the asymptotic regularity of generalized averaged mappings. These mappings are denoted as $T_\phi = (1-\phi)I + \phi T$, where $I$ is the identity map and $\phi$ is a function from a normed space to real numbers.

In real Hilbert spaces, given a single-valued Lipschitz continuous and monotone operator, we study generalized split feasibility problem (GSFP) over solution set of monotone variational inclusion problem. An inertia iterative method is proposed to solve this problem, by showing that the sequence generated by the iteration converges strongly to solution of GSFP. As against previous methods, our step size is chosen to be simple and not depending on norm of associated bounded linear map as well as Lipschitz constant of the single-valued operator. The obtained result was applied to study split linear inverse problem, precisely, the LASSO problem. Lastly, with the aid of numerical examples, we exhibited efficiency of our algorithm and its dominance over other existing schemes.

We present a heuristic method for finding first integrals for linear and quasi-linear first order partial differential equations, when we are often lead to solve exact ordinary differential equations. The method is inspired by the corresponding one used for integrating first order exact ordinary differential equations of the form $$P(x,y) dx+Q(x,y) dy=0$$ and is applied for integrating first order exact ordinary differential equations in the case of three variables:
$$
a(x,y,z)dx+b(x,y,z)dy+c(x,y,z)dz=0.
$$
To our best knowledge, the method is new at least from the point of view of its theoretical and applicative features presented in full details in the following.

n our present research, we investigate a new class of polynomials which we call the associated
polynomials. Firstly, we drive a general identity which generalizes the Laguerre transform of a sequence. More
precisely, we give a three-term recurrence formula for calculating the associated polynomials. Secondly, as an
application, we define the associated Fibonacci polynomials.

The present paradigm associates the dawn of modern applied mathematics with the first decades
of the 19th century. In an investigation of these historical premises, we search for themes investigated today
through methods pertaining to applied mathematics in the works of a medieval scholar whose singular vision
helped him reach several conclusions that were definitely ahead of his time. Nicole Oresme’s work, Tractatus de
configurationibus qualitatum et motuum, written approximately between 1351 and 1355, showcases early mathe-
matical applications that would now be classified as works in applied mathematics.

Streptokinase or Alteplase for Acute Limb Ischemia? A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Agung Pradnyana Suwirya  , Ni Nyoman Utami Wijayaswari Pande  , Bagus Ari Pradnyana DS
Published: October 2024

Background: Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is a vascular emergency that necessitates prompt and effective treatment to restore blood flow and prevent limb loss. Thrombolytic therapy, particularly with agents like streptokinase and alteplase, plays a pivotal role in ALI management. This meta-analysis and systematic review aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of streptokinase and alteplase in treating ALI.
Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Science Direct, and the Cochrane Library databases was conducted up to August 13, 2024, to identify relevant studies. The inclusion criteria encompassed clinical trials involving patients diagnosed with ALI who received either streptokinase or alteplase as the initial thrombolytic treatment. The quality of the included studies was rigorously assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) and the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINOR) criteria. A meta-analysis was performed using the Mantel-Haenszel random-effects model to calculate risk ratios (RRs) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Results: The final analysis included 20 studies, encompassing both qualitative and quantitative assessments. A comparative analysis of streptokinase and alteplase for limb salvage at 30 days revealed a significant advantage in favor of alteplase, with a relative risk ratio (RR) of 0.78 (95% CI 0.69-0.88, I² = 0%). Furthermore, streptokinase was associated with a higher rate of primary amputation, with an RR of 2.54 (95% CI 1.50-4.32, I² = 0%) compared to alteplase. The use of streptokinase also correlated with a higher risk of complications, including major bleeding (RR 1.75, 95% CI 0.04-84.30, I² = 77%) and minor bleeding (RR 1.41, 95% CI 0.60-3.32, I² = 0%).
Conclusion: The findings of this meta-analysis underscore the superior efficacy of alteplase in achieving limb salvage in ALI, coupled with a more favorable safety profile. The preferential use of alteplase in clinical practice is recommended, particularly in patients with severe ischemia. However, careful patient selection and close monitoring are crucial when streptokinase therapy is considered.
The future of complement therapeutics

Published: October 2024

Complement is both evolutionary and scientifically old. It predates the adaptive immunity by some 600 million years and was first described in 1905 by Jules Bordet and Paul Ehrlich. For the most of its, the existence complement system has been ignored by most scientists and clinicians due to the perception of it being complicated and its relevance for the pathogenesis of human disease being unclear. With the recent US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals of pegcetacoplan for both paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) and geographic atrophy (GA), avacincaptad pegol for GA and iptacopan and danicopan for PNH, we are at a crucial juncture for complement-targeting therapies. A number of companies and academic institutions are developing next-generation complement therapies, which is resulting in an increasingly competitive landscape. If one looks at the serum complement cascade, all 3 pathways now have biotechnology or pharmaceutical industry players with 1 or multiple clinical-stage inhibitors that are expected to be FDA approved within the next few years. Furthermore, with the limited number of clinically validated targets in complement-mediated disease, the competition in this space is set to further intensify in the coming years. In this review, we will discuss the timeline of the academic discoveries that led to the development of the current crop of FDA-approved complement therapeutics. We follow with a discussion of an increasingly crowded complement therapy space and of the scientific advances that have emerged in recent two decades underpinning future innovation, including advances in our understanding of complement biology, such as local and intracellular complement, emerging complement targets, combinational approaches of complement and non-complement therapeutics to unlock new disease indications and new technologies such as gene therapy. We will also give a comprehensive overview of the gene therapy landscape and how it can be utilized to target complement dysregulation.

Sveikos gyvensenos praktikos GLP-1 agonistų eroje
Authors: Nomeikaitė Evelina
Published: October 2024

GLP-1 agonistai tampa vis populiaresni gydant nutukimą ir kitus medžiagų apykaitos sutrikimus, nes jie skatina insulino sekreciją, slopina gliukagono sekreciją, lėtina skrandžio išsituštinimą ir mažina apetitą. Vis dėlto yra nemažai įrodymų, kad sveikos gyvensenos praktikos gali duoti panašius rezultatus. Reguliarus fizinis aktyvumas, sveika, įvairi ir reguliari mityba bei kokybiškas miegas taip pat veiksmingai padeda kontroliuoti svorį ir gerina metabolinę sveikatą, todėl sveikos gyvensenos praktikas, t. y. gyvensenos korekciją, galima rekomenduoti kaip pirmojo pasirinkimo gydymo būdą.
