The study rigorously investigates the clinical utility and efficacy of nursing interventions based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in treating patients suffering from gynecological irregular menstruation. The primary objective is to assess not only the impact on menstrual regularity but also the overall psychological well-being and quality of life of the affected individuals. Conducted at the Pingxiang Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Jiangxi, China, the research employs a multifaceted, comprehensive approach. It combines traditional TCM therapies—herbal remedies, acupuncture—with modern medical assessments to offer a holistic treatment plan. Participants, after a thorough diagnostic evaluation, received individually tailored care plans that included dietary guidance and lifestyle recommendations. The study yielded encouraging results, with significant improvements in menstrual regularity and a reduction in associated symptoms among the participants. Moreover, the study found that the holistic care model of TCM contributed to enhanced psychological well-being and overall quality of life for the patients. Furthermore, the TCM-based nursing interventions resulted in higher patient compliance, greater satisfaction, and fewer instances of recurring illness. The compelling findings support the integration of TCM-based nursing interventions into contemporary healthcare practices, especially for gynecological issues. The study not only suggests the potential for improved patient outcomes but also emphasizes the need for future research to further validate these promising results. The study thus lays the groundwork for further research and potential healthcare policy changes.

Authors: Hakim Cliff Jevond Audoric , Jonathan Marcello , Indrani Hedy C.
Published: January 2025

The acoustic quality of classrooms in higher education institutions is very important to support effective and efficient teaching and learning processes. Poor classroom acoustic conditions can cause communication disorders, such as difficulty hearing instructions and misunderstandings, thus disrupting the learning process. This study investigates how interior element materials (floors, walls, and ceilings) can affect the acoustic performance of classrooms. The case study took classrooms from six higher education institutions, namely Petra Christian University, Ciputra University, Wilwatikta College of the Arts, and 17 August 1945 University in Surabaya, as well as Satya Wacana Christian University in Salatiga and the Indonesian Institute of the Arts in Yogyakarta. This study used a quantitative method using I-Simpa (Integrated System for Indoor Acoustic Performance Assessment) software. I-Simpa can identify deficiencies in sound quality by measuring RT30 (reverberation time), C50 (clarity), and D50 (definition) of each existing classroom. Data were collected through acoustic measurements and students' perceptions regarding their experiences with classroom acoustics. The findings can reveal the use of inappropriate interior element materials, which can significantly reduce the clarity of sound in the teaching and learning process in the classroom. The results of the study are expected to provide optimal acoustic material solutions and the most strategic layout to improve sound distribution in the classroom. This study provides suggestions for acoustic material management based on innovation and technology, which will be useful for designing classroom interiors in higher education buildings in the future.

Authors: Mešić Haris
Published: January 2025

Waste water is taken from the place of origin to the receiver with the prior treatment of sewage consisting of a set of pipes, canals and structures. Sewerage is done by domestic (sanitary) and industrial wastewater.Treatment (conditioning) of wastewater is a procedure for reducing pollutants to those quantities or concentrations by which purified wastewater discharged into natural aquatic systems becomes nonhazardous to life and human health and do not cause unwanted changes in the environment. The city project is therefore focused on the necessary measures for the collection and treatment of urban wastewater, ie, for their transport to the designated location for the new wastewater treatment plant
and its construction. The basic solutions for wastewater treatment depend primarily on the composition of wastewater and the results to be reached, ie the degree of purification.
O Ativismo Judicial Dialógico como Legítimo Instrumento para Concretização dos Direitos Fundamentais
Authors: Lopes Nunes Tiago , Rodrigo Casaril Fábio , De Oliveira Cunha Nunes Laíla
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this paper is to analyze how judicial decisions with the aim of implementing fundamental rights, sometimes pejoratively classified as activists, have their space of legitimacy within a democratic normative system. To this end, the hypothetical deductive method was used, choosing a viable hypothesis, proven through bibliographical research. Initially, the text provides a brief digression on the emergence of judicial activism and, subsequently, traces the inexorable relationship between the theory of the unconstitutional state of affairs and the technique of judicial activism. As a result, it is concluded that judicial activism, as long as it is necessarily dialogical, does not violate the democratic regime and the separation of powers, being an imperative measure to guarantee the realization of human dignity, which is, at the same time, the essence of human rights fundamental principles and the axiological pillar of the Brazilian normative system.

Published: January 2025

Non-timber forest products (NTFPs), particularly for weaving purposes, are abundant in Mansalay, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines. These resources have a significant impact on the economy and culture of the indigenous locals. This study assessed the forest fibers in the Panaytayan communities and local handicraft stores. The assessment covers the inventory and plant index of forest products, community directory, and SWOT analysis. The study was conducted through key informant interviews, community immersion, interviews with locals, observations, and documentation. The findings of the study revealed that the community possesses a wealth of natural resources like non-timber forest products (NTFPs), particularly buri fibers, which are readily available for weaving. Various community groups, both formal and informal, engage in the production and marketing of woven products, with initial steps taken towards introducing them to the international market. While local stores offer a diverse range of woven products, primarily handcrafted from local materials by community members, insufficient marketing efforts limit their sales potential. The compilation of assessments can help enhance the marketing efforts for woven products, strengthening the production and business skills of community artisans, and promoting sustainable harvesting and forest management practices. These interventions can be aligned with the livelihood community development efforts of concerned private and public agencies.

Published: January 2025

Climate change induced by global warming is the most important environmental concern facing the globe today. The study aimed to develop a model in determining the aboveground biomass of forest stands through remote sensing in licuan-baay abra, Philippines. It determined the total carbon, carbon dioxide of the forest stands. The developed models of ndvi, savi, sri, and evi were also compared to select the best model suited for estimation above ground biomass of forest stand. The estimated above-ground biomass using the regression models developed is 8m mg/ha-1 for ndvi, sri and savi while evi has an estimated agb of 7m mg/ha-1 respectively. But the four-model developed has a correlation of above ground biomass and the vegetation index. Therefore, enhance vegetation index is highly recommended in this study since R squared among the four-vegetation index has the highest total value computed and has the lowest total value computed in the rsme (mg/ha-1) which indicated as the most accurate to predict the above ground biomass of forest stand.

Class-Balanced PolarMix for Data Augmentation of 3D LIDAR Point Clouds Semantic Segmentation
Authors: Liu Bo , Qi Xiao
Published: January 2025

3D LIDAR point clouds are extensively utilized in various domains, and data augmentation techniques for these point clouds can enhance network model convergence during training while also reducing the requisite data volume. Notably, PolarMix represents a seminal contribution to data enhancement in the realm of 3D LIDAR point Clouds Semantic Segmentation. It markedly augments the number of instances per class through swapping and rotate-paste mechanisms. Rotate-paste involves rotating and pasting selected class instances around the Z-axis multiple times. However, when capturing real-world scenarios using LiDAR point clouds, a pronounced class imbalance is observed, wherein certain classes dominate in sample numbers, while others are sparsely represented. Regrettably, PolarMix overlooks this class imbalance, leading to unequal treatment of all classes. To rectify this, we introduce the Class-Balanced PolarMix (CB-PolarMix), which operates in a cascading manner to diversify the training distribution and further optimize data augmentation outcomes. The cornerstone of CB-PolarMix lies in its adaptive reinforcement of foreground classes based on their distribution patterns. More specifically, our approach tweaks the pasting process for each class contingent upon its historical prediction accuracy. Experimental results from the SemanticPOSS and SemanticKitti datasets, utilizing the MinkowskiNet and SPVCNN models respectively, underscore the efficacy of the proposed CB-PolarMix.

En haine du théâtre : l’“esprit allemand” de Shakespeare et les ambiguïtés de sa réception dans le monde germanique
Authors: Jobez Romain
Published: January 2025

La réception de l’œuvre de Shakespeare dans l’Allemagne des Lumières accompagne l’émergence d’une littérature théâtrale qui sert des ambitions culturelles nationales tout en tentant de se détacher du modèle français. Cette réception à forte teneur nationaliste n’est pas sans ambiguïtés puisqu’elle réécrit l’histoire du théâtre allemand en en écartant des formes spectaculaires antérieures au modèle dramaturgique développé depuis le XVIe siècle. Elle culmine au début du XXe siècle avec le livre de Friedrich Gundolf, Shakespeare und der deutsche Geist (Shakespeare et l’esprit allemand, 1911) qui procède d’une idéalisation de la figure du dramaturge britannique. Il faudra attendre la fin du XXe siècle pour que Shakespeare soit de nouveau considéré comme un homme de théâtre à part entière.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is an epidemic in India and one of the major causes of disease burden and deaths. Coronary artery diseases have one or more major risk factors that are influenced by lifestyle. Obesity is considered an important risk factor for the occurrence of coronary artery diseases. Obesity is likely when an individual’s body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher. As the body mass index rises, so does the risk of coronary heart disease. This study helps obese people understand the relationship between obesity and CAD, thus helping obese people to reduce the risk factors of CAD. Hence, the investigator decided to evaluate the knowledge level among obese people and educate them regarding the prevention of coronary artery disease. One group pretest-posttest design (pre-experimental design) was selected for the study. The participants were 60 obese people attending OPD in selected hospitals in Bangalore. A purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample of the study. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to collect data from the subjects. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and interpreted in terms of the objectives and hypotheses of the study. The level of significance was set at 0.05 levels. In the pretest, the subjects had inadequate Knowledge, with a mean percentage of 46.2% and a standard deviation of 12.8%, whereas, in the posttest, there was a significant mean knowledge gain of 83.5% and a standard deviation of 11.8%. The paired “t” test value (21.09*) shows statistical significance at a level of p<0.05 with df (59), establishing the effectiveness of the Structured Teaching Program. In the pretest, a significant association was found between the age group and the mean pretest knowledge scores at 0.05 level of significance. In the pretest, about 65% of the samples had inadequate Knowledge, whereas in the posttest of the samples, 68.3% had gained adequate Knowledge. These findings indicate that the structured teaching program was effective in enhancing the Knowledge of the obese people attending OPD in selected hospitals regarding the Prevention of Coronary Artery Disease.

The Entrepreneurial State: Rethinking Its Role in Driving Innovation Policy
Authors: Hai Ou
Published: January 2025

This article comprehensively explores the role of government in fostering innovation in key technologies and sectors, combining two opposing perspectives presented in The Entrepreneurial State and The Myth of the Entrepreneurial State. The Entrepreneurial State emphasizes the government’s active role in the innovation process, particularly in the early stages of high-risk R&D, where the government acts not only as a funding provider but also as a policymaker, supporting market-driven innovation. Conversely, The Myth of the Entrepreneurial State highlights the central role of markets and individuals in economic development and technological progress, arguing that the government’s role should be limited to creating a favorable environment for innovation. Integrating the content of both perspectives, this text begins by reviewing the government’s role in promoting modern innovation from two aspects: the objectives of government-led innovation promotion and the role it plays in the process of innovative activities. The government no longer directly leads innovation development but instead serves as a supportive actor, while the true driving force behind innovation stems from the creativity and exploratory spirit of individuals.
