Assessing the Relative Volatility and Beta Radioactivity of Ethanol as a Preliminary Verification of Varietal Authenticity in Philippine Wines and Liquors with Tourism Implications
Authors: Sucgang Raymond J. , Delos Santos Jayvee U.
Published: November 2024

Alcoholic beverages in the Philippines show significant variation in ethanol content and feedstock, influencing their relative volatility, α, which serves as a strong indicator of the ease of ethanol separation during distillation. This variability arises from differences in the vapor-liquid pseudo-binary equilibrium of the beverages. By constructing a pseudo-binary ethanol-water plot, the ease of dehydrating ethanol was analyzed from a thermodynamic perspective. Using Dalton’s, Raoult’s, Clapeyron, and Trouton’s laws, the study derived the equation:

Published: November 2024

Traditional data entry methods are often time-consuming and prone to errors, negatively impact patient care and administrative workflows. To address these challenges, this research proposed a voice-assisted data entry system that leverages advanced speech recognition and natural language processing technologies. Object Oriented Analysis and Design Methods were used to implement a system that allows healthcare providers to input patient data and medical information through voice commands, streamlining the data entry process and reducing the cognitive load on healthcare professionals. The system’s design incorporates user-centred principles, ensuring it is intuitive and seamlessly integrated into existing healthcare IT infrastructures. Key features include real-time speech-to-text conversion, contextual understanding of medical terminology, and robust data security measures to protect patient information. The implementation phase involved rigorous testing in a simulated healthcare environment, assessing the system’s accuracy, speed, and user satisfaction. Results indicated significant improvements in data entry efficiency and reduced error rates compared to manual entry methods. Feedback from healthcare professionals highlighted the system’s potential to enhance productivity and patient care quality. This dissertation contributes to the field of healthcare informatics by providing a practical solution to a critical problem, demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of voice-assisted technologies in medical data management. Future work will explore further refinements and the potential for broader adoption across diverse healthcare settings.

Authors: Gbenga Adewumi  , Samuel Ajibola Dada  , Jude Shagan Azai  , Edward Oware
Published: November 2024

This review aims to explore strategies for enhancing pharmaceutical supply chain resilience in the United States by addressing vulnerabilities exposed by recent global events, including the COVID-19 pandemic. The study identifies and analyzes eight key strategies: supplier diversification, increased inventory and safety stock, adoption of advanced technologies, improved forecasting and demand planning, vertical integration, reshoring and nearshoring, contingency planning and risk management, and collaboration and information sharing. Drawing on these strategies in the context of the United States, the review examines the advantages and potential challenges associated with them. The implementation of strategies such as supplier diversification and the adoption of advanced technologies shows positive effects, but these approaches require significant resources and face policy restrictions. This paper also analyzes the policy and industry implications of these strategies, emphasizing the need for collaboration between the government and industry. Various policy implications include the need to encourage supplier diversification, support for strategic stocking, and funding for technology implementation. For the industry, there is a need for operational adjustments such as redesigning supply chain networks with emphasis on enhancing risk management practices. Although implementing these strategies presents certain complexities, they hold great promise for improving the overall resilience of the US pharmaceutical supply systems and should be further explored in the future.

The Efficiency of the GeneXpert Method Compared With Traditional Methods for Diagnosing TB
Authors: Hoxha Korab
Published: November 2024

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a significant global health concern, particularly due to its high prevalence in the lungs, accounting for approximately 70% of cases. While vaccines have alleviated the impact of TB, it remains highly contagious through airborne transmission from infected individuals. Other forms of TB, such as those affecting lymphatic glands or bones, are non-contagious. The distinction between latent TB infections and active, contagious forms highlights the importance of public health interventions. This study aims to explore the transmission dynamics, focusing on prevention strategies to mitigate airborne spread. Using a case study approach, the research analyzes infection patterns, underscores the need for vigilant contact management, and emphasizes the importance of vaccines and protective measures in preventing TB outbreaks. The findings suggest that early diagnosis and proper management can significantly reduce transmission, offering practical implications for TB control.

Published: November 2024

Introdução: A sífilis é uma infecção causada por uma bactéria, o treponema pallidum, que é exclusiva do ser humano e possui cura. Quando acometida em gestantes possui desfechos negativos, como parto prematuro, aborto espontâneo, baixo peso ao nascer e a sífilis congênita. A atenção básica exerce um papel fundamental no diagnóstico e tratamento de gestantes acometidas pela sífilis, devido a disponibilidade e a realização de testes rápidos durante a consulta de pré-natal. O profissional de enfermagem é imprescindível para o controle e tratamento dos casos de sífilis na atenção ao pré-natal. Objetivo: Descrever a abordagem da literatura científica em relação a sífilis gestacional e os cuidados de enfermagem na atenção primária. Metodologia:  O estudo aborda o método de revisão integrativa da literatura utilizando as seguintes bases de dados Bdenf, Lilacs e Scielo; por intermédio dos descritores regulados em saúde: sífilis; pré-natal; atenção primária; cuidados de enfermagem. Sendo realizado o cruzamento por meio do operador booleano AND. A amostra configura os artigos que se inserirem nos critérios de inclusão: estudos que apresentem o referido tema; texto completo disponível nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, publicados entre os anos de 2019 e 2024. Serão excluídos os artigos que se apresentarem em duplicata. Após coleta, os dados foram apresentados em tabelas com as seguintes variáveis: Título, Autor, Ano, Periódico, Objetivo, Metodologia e Resultados, sendo analisados mediante a literatura pertinente. Pelo fato de ser uma revisão de estudo, não se faz necessário a aprovação pelo comitê de ética e pesquisa. Resultados e discussão: Relata evidências importantes sobre os cuidados de enfermagem a sífilis gestacional na atenção primária, que é considerada um grande problema de saúde pública, sendo fundamental a sua abordagem nas consultas de pré-natal.  Considerações finais: Os estudos revisados apontam a complexidade da sífilis gestacional e as dificuldades enfrentadas pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) para o enfrentamento e combate a essa infecção que quando não tratada ou tratada inadequadamente, pode ter consequências severas para a saúde materna e infantil. Por isso, é essencial que seja abordada durante as consultas de pré-natal na atenção básica. Ao capacitar os enfermeiros para identificar, abordar a infecção e conscientizar a população, é possível melhorar os desfechos de saúde para gestantes e seus bebês, promovendo uma perspectiva mais eficaz e uma assistência integral a atenção primária à saúde.
A PENSÃO ALIMENTÍCIA E A POSSIBILIDADE JURÍDICA DE REVISÃO DE VALORES
Authors: Mendes Stefhane Toribio , Falcão Eliane
Published: November 2024

O direito à alimentos se destina a garantir aos filhos menores a sua subsistência após o rompimento da relação conjugal dos genitores, obrigando ao genitor não guardião o pagamento de prestação mensal destinada a suprir as necessidades dos alimentantes, obrigação dos pais que não se extingue com a separação. Trata-se de valor fixado quando da separação de acordo com as condições da época. Acontece que com o passar do tempo as condições vão sofrendo alteração natural, motivo pelo qual, são constantes os pedidos de mudança do valor determinado, seja pela necessidade dos filhos ou pela incapacidade financeira do genitor responsável pelo seu pagamento. No Brasil, por não formar coisa julgada, o que foi estabelecido em sentença de alimentos pode ser revisto a qualquer tempo, bastando que haja a mudança da situação vivenciada pelas partes envolvidas. Regulada pelo Código Civil, a ação revisional de alimentos é a ação cabível para esses casos, sendo deferido o pedido mediante a prova de alteração da situação financeira do requerente. Dito isso, esta pesquisa bibliográfica e exploratória, elaborada segundo o método dedutivo, analisa a ação revisional de alimentos como um instrumento de garantia de acesso do menor aos alimentos proporcionais à condição do alimentante.

Authors: Sales Alexsya Jhuly Silva , Brum André Luiz de Oliveira
Published: November 2024

O presente estudo teve como objetivo geral demonstrar os fundamentos legais e as controvérsias da possibilidade jurídica para adoção por casais homoafetivos no Brasil. Delimitaram-se como objetivos específicos: analisar o conceito moderno de família, os elementos que a caracteriza, a proteção constitucional a esta dispensada, bem como alguns princípios orientadores deste ramo do direito, buscando, adiante examinar a adequação de cada um desses itens às uniões em questão; destacar as várias soluções encontradas pelo Judiciário para dirimir os conflitos relativos à união homoafetiva, já que a legislação pátria nada determina a este respeito; verificar a impropriedade no tratamento da adoção homoafetiva como sociedade de fato, por apresentarem elemento identificador diferenciado. A realização deste trabalho justifica-se pela relevância do tema, que é de grande discussão doutrinária, jurisprudencial e social, em virtude da crescente demanda de ações no judiciário e das transformações pelas quais a família e a sociedade vem passando nos dias de hoje. O método de abordagem utilizado será sistemático, pela necessidade de análise comparativa entre os fundamentos constitucionais e a análise doutrinária, jurisprudencial e legislativa, sobretudo em relação à Constituição Federal de 1988. A realização desse estudo, exigirá uma pesquisa bibliográfica com abordagem sobre o campo jurídico como um procedimento capaz de ajudar o pesquisador a coletar informações julgadas relevantes para o estudo realizado. Para a execução do presente trabalho utilizou-se do conteúdo de várias obras pertinentes ao tema Direito de Família e Direito Civil, valendo-se das mesmas para se obter uma interpretação própria a respeito do assunto. A análise apresentada neste estudo reafirma a relevância das discussões em torno da adoção de crianças por casais homossexuais, evidenciando não apenas os avanços legislativos e jurisprudenciais, mas também os desafios e preconceitos que esse grupo ainda enfrenta na sociedade contemporânea. Constatou-se que, apesar do reconhecimento jurídico das uniões homoafetivas e das políticas que visam assegurar seus direitos de forma equitativa, a adoção continua a ser um tema polarizador que evoca resistência e estigmatização.

The study presents the classification of cyclones according to the region of origin and track in the Euro-Atlantic sector. The cyclones have been identified according to the ERA5 reanalysis data. Their seasonal frequency, travel speed, size, and central pressure have been quantified, and their trends have been revealed. Mean and maximum total precipitation associated with the distinguished types of cyclones over the territory of Europe is determined. It is shown that the frequency of the North Atlantic cyclones in the recent 40 years has decreased in winter, summer, and autumn and increased in spring. It has been revealed, that the frequency of the southern cyclones insignificantly decreases in summer and increases in winter. A decrease in minimum central pressure for some types of the North Atlantic cyclones occurs in winter and summer. There is an increase in maximum total precipitation in winter due to the North Atlantic cyclones and in summer due to the southern cyclones. The number of days with cyclonic precipitation decreases for all types of cyclones.

Missing data in water resources studies prevent planning. For this reason, data estimation studies are carried out. In this study, ANFIS (Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System) was used to complete the missing data. At the study area, the Yesilirmak Basin located in the north of Turkey, input variables from seven stations and output variable from one station were determined. In the research, 80% (378 months of data) of 504 months of the flow data between 1969 and 2011 was used in the training phase and 20% (126 months of data) was employed in the testing one. The decision tree was used instead of the trial and error method in the selection of input variables and determining the number of membership functions in ANFIS models. It was concluded that the ANFIS model established with the information obtained from the decision tree is successful compared to the randomly established ANFIS models. Using the decision tree before ANFIS models are created will not only minimize the time spent on the model development, but also prevent the best of the possible models from being overlooked.

Аффективные основания вступления в спор
Authors: И.Б. Микиртумов
Published: November 2024

Рассматриваются аффективные основания вступления в спор. Выделены два вида споров, определяющие различные группы аффектов: спор о путях к общему благу и спор о его содержании. Показано, что в последнем случае действует аффект представительства, интенсивность которого зависит от высоты порога вступления в спор. Устранение такого порога снижает интенсивность аффекта представительства, что ведёт к превращению этого спора в спор о путях к благу, которое, однако, понимается расширенно.

While existing literature mostly analyzes public leaders' pandemic responses, limited attention has been paid to local government leaders in terms of values work. This study examines the values created and infused by senior managers who serve as institutional leaders in local governments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Focusing on the data collected from the responses of the sample set, the study aims to illuminate the processes of creating and infusing values among senior managers of a metropolitan municipality in Türkiye. For this aim, interviews were conducted with 11 senior managers of this metropolitan municipality. The findings produced within the scope of two propositions firstly reveal three types of value created for, and infused into the organization: personal, organizational, and service-related. Secondly, the study identifies the uniform process devoted to values work among senior managers and reveals that there are no significant differences in the styles of creating and infusing values (i.e., values work) among managers at different levels of local government in challenging times.

Authors: Lin Li
Published: November 2024

This article examines administrative authority in higher education using Guangdong, Beijing, Guangxi, and data from other regions. It examines whether higher education's administrative management system, personnel quality, assessment standards, and public attention can generate administrative power at the institutional, university, and social levels. The study aims to determine if the system, staff quality, and public involvement are the major variables in building administrative authority. The study used data from Guangdong, Beijing, Guangxi, and other regions, employing empirical analysis to evaluate the impact of the administrative management system, personnel quality, and public attention on administrative power. Results reveal that the management system, personnel quality, and evaluation criteria contribute to building administrative authority. The quality of personnel and system is the most important, and assessment criteria are secondary. Public engagement can build administrative authority, but it's hard to implement and enforce. Improving administrative personnel quality and management systems is crucial for building effective administrative authority in higher education, though public engagement remains challenging to implement.

Published: November 2024

After the organization of local government along democratic lines and the tradition of organizing local government in 1992, as well as the problems created by socio-economic development, the Albanian government reviewed the organization of local administration in 2014. The implementation of the reform was carried out without the consensus of the opposition and without taking into account the constitution, which provided for taking into account the opinions of local communities for such changes. The analysis of an efficient (optimal) local unit is being done now that the two main political forces in Albania, the government-opposition, are debating the revision of the reform, based on the problems brought about by the 2014 reform. Based on the OLS model, we analyze the relationship between the average cost per capita and the residents of the current local units. The model was tested using a database covering the period 2017-2023, for a general measure of local expenditure: local public administration cost (LPAC) and service cost of local public expenditure (CE). Empirical findings evidenced a U-shaped relationship between inhabitants and the costs of local public services.

Research is aimed at developing an affordable rust modifier based on local raw materials that can effectively convert rust into poorly soluble compounds. Using the example of Zhairem Mining and Processing Plant JSC, the influence of the resulting rust converter on the corrosion process was determined. Data from X-ray phase and IR spectroscopic analyzes and studies of physical and mechanical properties show the effective transformation of corrosion products into poorly soluble stable compounds firmly bonded to the metal surface. The rust modifiers currently used do not fully meet all the necessary requirements, namely: their range is insufficient, the cost is very high, most of them are produced in small quantities, which does not satisfy the growing consumer demand. This problem is solved by the fact that the developed rust modifier includes available and cheap components and locally produced waste: orthophosphoric acid, furfuryl alcohol, phosphorus slag, lignin. In terms of the degree of activity, the crystalline phase of rust is chemically active and can be easily and reliably transformed by solutions of rust modifiers.

The education system in modern Kazakhstan is one of the most important and complex areas of public life. The future of the people, as well as its intellectual and spiritual development, largely depends on the state of education, i.e., its specific saturation with various academic disciplines, social institutions, ways of presenting information, and the structure of building educational institutions. Therefore, in all developed countries, one of the main functions of the state is education, the implementation of which annually spends a large amount of resources, both human and material. But it is also worth noting that the education system needs to be updated, which will be carried out in harmony with all its elements. At present, purposeful, consistent work is being carried out in Kazakhstan to bring the national system of higher education closer to the educational systems of the countries participating in the Bologna process. However, it should not be denied that renewal can both benefit education and create serious and irreparable consequences for it. The authors of the article consider one of such updates of the education system, namely the Bologna system of education (Bologna process). By signing the Bologna Declaration and becoming a full member of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), the Republic of Kazakhstan agreed to ensure the mandatory parameters of the Bologna Process: a three-tier system of higher education, ECST academic credits, mobility of students, teachers and administrative staff, a European Diploma Supplement, quality control of higher education and the creation of a European research area.

The competencies formed by future special teachers do not fully meet the requirements of the social order for the content of their professional training. In this publication, the authors pay attention to the importance of the level of professional skill of the future special teacher, who is ready to implement pedagogical activities in inclusive education and includes mastering the competencies of professional pedagogical education. The purpose of this study is to emphasize the importance of the process of forming a personal attitude to the professional activities of future special educators, which undergoes positive qualitative and quantitative changes in the context of inclusion. This is reflected in the progressive dynamics of the transition from one level to another, which ensures the productive solution of educational and professional tasks of varying complexity and content. In this paper, the authors emphasize the dependence of personal attitudes on the component structure of readiness for the implementation of inclusive education. The result of the formation of personal attitudes should be his professional readiness as a quality of personality, each component of which in the future will be increased by competence content. The formation of professional and personal attitudes is one of the results of obtaining higher pedagogical education. The formation of personal attitudes of the future special teacher is a purposeful, long-term and progressive process, provided with appropriate value and semantic content.

Object: The relevance of the topic of public administration of the urbanization process is primarily due to the fact that Kazakhstan is striving to achieve the level of urbanization of 70% and by 2050 to become one of the 30 most developed countries, since cities are the driving force of economic growth in Kazakhstan. The purpose of the study is, firstly, to make a modern analysis of urbanization in Kazakhstan, and secondly, to develop recommendations for improving the organizational mechanism of urbanization management. The subject of the scientific work is the peculiarities of domestic and foreign experience of this policy, its theoretical, conceptual and applied aspects. Methods: within the framework of scientific work, the following methods were used: statistical, methods of scientific analysis and synthesis, methods of logical modeling and decomposition. Findings: Often, the high costs associated with the creation and maintenance of all these types of infrastructure are not irrevocable costs, but rather investments in the policies of other sectors. Conversely, it may also happen that high-quality infrastructure stimulating one sector will have negative consequences in another sector. Therefore, it is extremely important to have a comprehensive approach. Conclusions: It is necessary to improve the institutional conditions, which are a set of interrelated regulatory, legal, programmatic, methodological and other documents regulating the activities of state management bodies, economic entities and the population in order to create conditions for the sustainable development of the urban economy and the social sphere.
