Introduction: Lumbar spondylolisthesis, a condition characterized by the displacement of one vertebra over another, often leads to chronic back pain and functional impairment. Posterior decompression and TLIF are used as surgical options for patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis. Aim of the Study: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical & radiological outcomes of posterior decompression & transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) among patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis. Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out at NITOR, Dhaka, Bangladesh, during the period from January 2020 to December 2021. Total 30 patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis were included in this study. Result: In this study, majority of participants were aged 41-50 (47%), predominantly female (60%). Clinical outcomes showed significant improvements post-treatment: low back pain and leg pain, measured by VAS, decreased substantially, and disability scores (ODI and Roland-Morris) also improved markedly. Quality of life, assessed by SF-36, showed notable enhancements in both physical and mental scores. Radiologically, there were significant improvements in disc and foraminal height, reduction in spondylolisthesis severity, and restoration of lumbar lordosis and spinal stability. The average surgery time was around 147.5 minutes, with a mean blood loss of 382.7 mL and an average hospital stay of 7.1 days. A 90% fusion rate was achieved at 1-year follow-up, with dural tears being the most common complication. Despite some complications, the majority of surgeries were completed safely. Conclusion: Posterior decompression and TLIF appear to be effective in treating lumbar spondylolisthesis, as evidenced by improved clinical and radiological outcomes.

Published: December 2023

O Transtorno de Ansiedade é caracterizado por aflição emocional diante de situações prospectivas, sendo o Brasil o país com maior prevalência, atingindo 9,3% da população. Nesse sentido, a ansiedade desencadeia sintomas psicossomáticos e afeta o Sistema Imunológico, contribuindo para diversas condições clínicas. O tratamento farmacológico convencional apresenta efeitos colaterais e complicações físicas e psicológicas, podendo levar à dependência de substâncias psicoativas. Nesse contexto, os óleos essenciais, surgem como uma alternativa de tratamento, sendo a aromaterapia uma modalidade terapêutica da Medicina Complementar. Sendo assim, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar os benefícios potenciais dos óleos essenciais como agentes ansiolíticos, contribuindo para o avanço do conhecimento na comunidade acadêmica. A revisão bibliográfica foi feita com base em pesquisas já elaboradas por meio das bases de dados: Google Scholar; Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), National Library of Medicine (PubMed) e EbscoHost., envolvendo os termos: “transtorno de ansiedade, óleos essenciais, ansiolíticos, aromaterapia”. A busca foi realizada no mês de outubro de 2023. Acerca dos resultados, os óleos essenciais foram reconhecidos como agentes terapêuticos eficazes para distúrbios neuropsiquiátricos, incluindo ansiedade. A aromaterapia, que utiliza esses óleos, demonstra efeitos benéficos, aliviando a ansiedade e promovendo bem-estar. Seus benefícios incluem propriedades antidepressivas, e estudos indicam efeitos neuroprotetores e anti-neuroinflamatórios. Óleos como Lavanda e Citrus Aurantium mostram-se eficazes na redução de cortisol, pressão arterial e frequência cardíaca, proporcionando alívio do estresse. A aromaterapia é respaldada pela OMS e integrada ao SUS, mas são necessárias mais pesquisas para determinar a posologia ideal. Sendo assim, os óleos essenciais demonstraram potencial terapêutico benéfico na redução de distúrbios neuropsiquiátricos e ansiedade, principalmente, os óleos de Lavanda e Citrus Aurantium. Apesar dos resultados positivos, são necessárias pesquisas adicionais para estabelecer doses ideais na inalação desses óleos, confirmar eficácia a longo prazo e consolidar sua posição como opção terapêutica segura e eficaz para distúrbios neuropsiquiátricos e ansiedade.

Published: December 2023

Com o crescimento da tecnologia, houve uma transformação tanto na composição dos bens que formam o patrimônio quanto em relação à maneira como eles são transmitidos aos seus respectivos herdeiros. Um exemplo disso são os bens digitais. Nessa perspectiva, este artigo tem por objetivo discorrer acerca da herança digital, delimitando o assunto para a análise da legislação sucessória brasileira frente aos direitos sucessórios do de cujus, no contexto de transmissão do patrimônio digital. Para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, utilizou-se de pesquisa exploratória e qualitativa, que tomou por base dados bibliográficos e documentais. Como resultado, apontou-se que a herança digital pode ser atribuída a tudo aquilo que o indivíduo tem possibilidade de arquivar em um espaço virtual e, consequentemente, incorporar ao seu patrimônio pessoal. No entanto, inexiste legislação que discipline a transmissão de bens digitais. Concluiu-se que prevalece o entendimento de que, quando o bem digital não tem valor econômico, e diz respeito a dados relativos à intimidade e à privacidade do falecido, não é possível a transmissão, exceto quando o próprio de cujus tenha deixado testamento manifestando a respeito da destinação de tais bens após sua morte.

DIGITAL MEASUREMENT OF EMPLOYEE STRESS AND FATIGUE IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-DRIVEN WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT ENVIRONMENTS: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY USING AICOACH
Authors: Adam Dalnoki  , Md Iftekhar Islam
Published: December 2023

Effective fatigue management in the workplace is associated with employee well-being, safety, and productivity. Fatigue, often resulting from inadequate rest and high workloads, can lead to decreased cognitive function, diminished job performance, and increased risk of accidents, thus affecting both individual health and organizational efficiency. For this, we introduced an innovative approach to understanding and addressing workplace fatigue. By analyzing the interrelationships between employees self-reported fatigue levels, their perceptions of managing fatigue, and their engagement with an AI-based coaching tool (AiCoach), we sought to uncover patterns that could inform more effective fatigue management strategies. Using advanced sentiment analysis adapted for the context of fatigue and Granger-causality tests, we examined these dynamics over time. Our findings highlight the importance of immediate perceptions of fatigue in predicting engagement with management interventions, underscoring the need for real-time monitoring and adaptive strategies in managing workplace fatigue.

AI is the technology that builds intelligent machines able to perform tasks that generally need human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think and act like humans. AI has penetrated many organization processes, resulting in a growing fear that intelligent machines will soon replace many humans in decision-making. To provide a more proactive and pragmatic perspective, this article highlights the complementarities of humans and AI. It examines how each can strengthen organizational decision-making processes typically characterized by uncertain, complex and equal vocalists. With excellent computation information processing capacity and an analytical approach, AI can extend human cognition when addressing complexity. In contrast, humans can still offer a more holistic, intuitive approach in dealing with uncertainly and equal vocalist in organizational decisionmaking.

Published: December 2023

While research indicates that indoor lighting, exposure to daylight, physical activity, and sleep interact to influence functioning, mood, and daily rhythm, strategies are needed to support behavioral changes among older adults who often spend more time at home after retirement. The objective was to design a web-based course to encourage behavior change related to light, activity, and sleep. Grounded in the information-motivation-behavioral skills model, the course aims to promote well-being and improve lighting and darkness conditions at home. The technology acceptance model was used as a framework for evaluating usability aspects of the course. Data were collected through video observations, interviews, and questionnaires. Three experts on pedagogy, design for older adults, and/or interaction design were invited to independently assess usability of the course content in a full-scale model of an apartment. Six adults (age 70 – 79) participated in a similar usability evaluation in a second round in the apartment. A two-step usability evaluation by experts in the first round and target users in the second proved valuable. Findings enabled refinement of the course content and significantly reduced the number of identified usability issues in the second round. All six participants in the second round rated the overall user-friendliness as 6 out of 7. Changes to the content after the second round included, e.g., clarifying the different types of text links and considering issues with online enrolment in the course. The web-based course, supplemented with physical meetings, can benefit late-life learners because of the relevant easy-to-use content.
Use of Medicinal Plants Against Parasitic Infections

Published: December 2023

Many of medicinal plants are called "ethnobotanicals" used in traditional homemade remedies that have been used for centuries in various regions. Some of the chemicals in plant extracts are well known and characterized (e.g. azadirachtin, citronella, nicotine, etc.) and can be considered as "natural" active ingredients. Some of these active ingredients have genuine insecticidal or anthelmintic properties (i.e. they actually kill some parasites). They are also known as biopesticides. Many of them act as repellent whereas some of them act as insecticide. Herb mixtures (dried, powdered, pelleted, etc.) are commercially available for preparing infusions or for direct feeding to livestock or pets, with various claims against external or internal parasites. Industrially produced plant extracts (e.g. citronella oil and neem oil) are usually well characterized and standardized (Benavides et al., 2001; Ismail et al., 2002 and John et al. 2009). A common feature of most of these natural products is that they are not persistent. They are easily degradable (e.g. by sunlight) and/or rather volatile, or quickly metabolized and excreted, which are rather positive features regarding safety. For parasiticidal effect treatment has to be repeated frequently for constant protection of animals against parasites. Use of these herbal products against parasitic infections becomes mandatory owing to development of resistance against commonly used chemical anti-parasitic compounds. As the anti-parasitic resistance is the genetic ability of parasites to survive treatment with an anti-parasitic drug that was generally effective against those parasites in the past. After treatment with an anti-parasitic drug, the susceptible parasites die and the resistant parasites survive to pass on resistance genes to their offspring.

Published: December 2023

The corona pandemic that has forced the entire world to genuflect, albeit a medical condition, has other challenges to offer-cerebral, legal and fiscal. With the world being trapped in an entirely unlooked-for situation, original paranoia was but natural. But now that the dust has begun to settle, numerous issues have cropped up that bear concern and trouble. Primary among these issues are the cerebral and legal problems that have strained in into society. Millions the world over are seized by the contamination and lakhs have succumbed. In India, over 60,000 are affected and over 2200 have breathed their last due to this disaster that has taken the proportions of an epidemic. But, these are only physical data. The impacts of this epidemic go well beyond. Let us concentrate our study on the Indian scenario. The curfew declared to limit the spread of the contamination swelled into a civil lockdown for over 50 days now, encompassing indeed inter-quarter trip restrictions. The fallout of this situation- devastated businesses, fiscal losses, retrenchment of jobs, extreme fiscal pressure which has led to an increase in domestic violence, nervous breakdowns and a general feeling of depression. With the examinations being laid over or indeed cancelled, the pupil fraternity is put to an unknown cerebral test of gargantuan proportions. In fact, from planning a career abroad, the pupil community is now seized with a fear of going abroad, even to this day. Really, faced with a challenging extremity, the nation may anticipate a spiralling crime rate. And this situation persists to date. Optimists did see a positive fallout of this lockdown on the environmental front. With lower energies being used, the air is purer. With artificial backwaters checked, the gutters are cleaner. The aimas have benefitted from a nowhere - seen- before freedom to enjoy open spaces. But to judge this as a boon would be a panglossian conclusion. Remedies for all being and anticipated cerebral and legal issues must be in place before matters complicate. This study shall attempt to assess the cerebral and legal problems associated to date with such a prolonged lockdown and consider possible results to the problem.
Agri Tourism - A Panacea for Rural Development
Authors: - Lt. Seena V , - Dr. Sheela M.C.
Published: December 2023

In India, Agri tourism is an emerging concept. The pressures of urban life and the alienation and distance from the natural environment often force city dwellers to escape from their lonely and monotonous city life. In such cases, they feel that the rural location is an ideal place to release stress and to re-engage in a simple lifestyle that provides rest and complete peace for a period of time. Not only that, but also such tourism is widely accepted because it can shape up the rural community by providing financial and social benefits. Although the concept is relatively new one and it has recently gained immense importance around the world.
India is a land of villages. A large section of India's population living in rural areas is still traditionally dependent on agriculture and allied activities. However, the income from agriculture is declining day by day and these villagers do not have enough alternative employment opportunities. Therefore, in order to increase the contribution of the agricultural sector, existing agricultural activities should be strengthened by providing additional income generating activities. Tourism will be a boon in this regard. Combining tourism with agriculture will help to increase the contribution of the agricultural sector to GDP and thereby facilitate economic development.

This study examined the role of NTFPs in tribal economy of Shivpuri district Madhya Pradesh, India. A multi-stage random sampling technique was employed to select sample Saharia Tribal, local villagers and households for field survey. Data were collected through structured interviews and non-participant observations and commercialization of NTFPs are the main drivers for socioeconomic development, poverty reduction and livelihood security of the tribes in the area.
In the presented study, mainly how non-timber forest products are obtained by Sahariya tribals under Shivpuri district and what things they get from the forest. The product found in the forests are able to improve their economic condition and livelihood by selling it in the local market. Many major products are obtained from forests by the tribal peoples found in and around Chatori Kala village under Shivpuri district, such as Mainly Tendu (Diospyros melanoxylon) leaf which is used for making beedis Industry, Imli (Tamarindus indica) is used for making wine Industry, Mahua (Madhuca indica) flowers is used in the beverage industry. Kher (Acacia catechu) is used in the Kaththa Industries and Bamboo (Bambusa indica) is used in the building material, apart from this brooms, baskets, fans as well as other product used in the house are also made from bamboo and Palash (Butea monosperma) which is found in dominant species in Shivpuri district, is used for preparing puja and havan material and its roots are used in making rope and leaves are used in Dona Pattal industry.
For many years, some indigenous tribal people have been living within the forest and fully depending on the forest products for livelihood. Since it has become a protected area, there is banned on the collection of NTFPs. Forest department forcefully displaced some tribal people outside the forest, but still many tribal people are living within the forest and depending on the forest for their livelihood. This study has made an attempt to examine the Socio-economic role of NTFPs in the livelihood of Saharia tribal people in the Chitorikala village area of Shivpuri District in Madhya Pradesh. The study found that almost all tribal people in the study villages collect NTFPs illegally and sold in local markets. The NTFPs contribute highest income shares to total household income. As there is no restriction on the collection of leaves, Stem, Seed, Root, Fruit, wood etc. They earned highest income by selling various leaves but they walk 05 to 10 km and spend whole day to collect leaves, Root and Tuber and other products. As the livelihoods of the tribal people of these villages depend on NTFPs, the study suggests that there must have markets and proper price for these products. Government should provide some financial benefits to self-help groups allow people to set up paper plate or cup factory to avoid traders’ dominance.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become one of the solutions to low agricultural and livestock efficiency and productivity. In this paper, a gyro sensor integration system was created in the context of cow behavior monitoring and milk productivity optimization. The goals and benchmarks for studying cow behavior and increasing milk yield were established. The machine learning models' insights and predictions were rigorously investigated to find patterns and trends in cow behavior. The categorization of the behaviors shown by cows is the primary emphasis of this research. The research focuses on biosensors and wearable technologies with the potential to enhance operations, management, and early illness detection in cattle. There is a need for detection technologies that can foresee possible consequences for a particular population, educate on diagnostic and treatment choices, and predict when and in what group an event is likely to occur.

Early childhood muscle development is vital, especially for activities like pinch and grip, which require fine motor skills and eye coordination. Children with autism and Down syndrome often struggle with these activities, leading to rehabilitation programs using conventional tools. However, special needs children's limited attention span poses a challenge for trainers. This research aimed to address this issue by developing a training tool capturing and sustaining special needs children's attention, and analyzing their muscle activity with surface electromyography (sEMG). A comparison was made between conventional tools and 3D-printed toys with integrated audio and visual stimuli, extending to normal children and young adults using 3D-printed toys and a digital platform. sEMG signals from the flexor digitorum superficial muscle were recorded during fine motor training sessions. The findings revealed that the attention span of special needs children increased between 44% and 250% when using 3D-printed toys compared to conventional tools. Simultaneously, sEMG temporal analysis indicated lower mean amplitude for special needs children compared to their typically developed counterparts. Regarding the digital platform, it was observed that the muscle activity of typically developed children resembled that of those using 3D-printed toys when compared to young adults. In conclusion, the use of 3D-printed toys and digital platforms may offer additional advantages for fine motor skill training in children.

High blood pressure is one of the most common non-communicable diseases suffered by the elderly. The changes in the cardiovascular system due to increasing age are the cause of hypertension in the elderly which may caused many complications if not controlled properly. High blood pressure can be treated with pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy. One of the non-pharmacological therapies that can be given to hypertension sufferers is progressive muscle relaxation therapy.This research aims to determine wether there is alteration in elderly people’s blood pressure after The Progressive Muscel Relaxation Therapy applied. This research was a quasi experimental research with two group which is Intervention Group and Control Group. There were 31 elderly people with hypertension in each who met the suitables criteria. The results of the study showed variations in the blood pressure of respondents in the intervention group and control group before and after being given progressive muscle therapy at meetings 1 to 6. It was found that blood pressure in the intervention group was reduced. The results of the Independent T-test statistical test showed a significant ρ-value of 0.000 where ρ < α (α : 0.05), which means that providing progressive muscle relaxation therapy has an effect on changes in blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension. The research concluded that there was an effect of applying progressive muscle relaxation therapy on changes in blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension.

BELARUS - IN THE MIST AND FIRE OF PUTIN'S REVISIONISM
Authors: JARNICKI Damian
Published: December 2023

Niniejszy artykuł podejmuje zagadnienie analizy polityki bezpieczeństwa Białorusi w kontekście dynamiki i procesualności neomocarstwowej (asertywnej i rewizjonistycznej) kampanii Rosji. Celem artykułu jest, uwzględniające asymetrię relacji rosyjsko-białoruskiej dążenie do wyjaśnienia prób przełamywania i dywersyfikacji białoruskiego statusu jako satelity Moskwy. Wysiłki te będą prezentowane na tle głównych wydarzeń bezpieczeństwa styku wschodnioeuroatlantyckiego i zachodnieurazjatyckiego – obszarów geopolitycznych, wikłających ze sobą losy i perspektywy zapewniania bezpieczeństwa (przetrwania) Białorusi, w świetle kolejnych sekwencji aktywności międzynarodowych Rosji. Dlatego w strategii badawczej niniejszego artykułu założono wykorzystanie, pozwalających na systemowe, a zarazem redukcyjnie hierarchiczne konstatowanie – wykorzystanie instrumentarium badawczego, jakie dają (oprócz krytycznej analizy literatury) metody: abstrahowania, indukcji i analogii. Poczynione w zakresie problemów badawczych – ustalenia – co do: wpływu rewizjonizmu Moskwy na politykę bezpieczeństwa Białorusi (1), znaczenia i specyfiki nadzoru Moskwy nad „krnąbrną” Białorusią, w kontekście jej globalnej rosyjskiej projekcji jako mocarstwa (2), jak również postawy Białorusi wobec pełnoskalowej inwazji Rosji na Ukrainę (3), powinny wypełnić lukę w budowie realistycznej polityki wobec Białorusi. Główny problem badawczy niniejszej analizy sprowadza się więc do podstawowego pytania: Jak rosyjski rewizjonizm i asertywność na arenie międzynarodowej wpływa na podmiotowość, państwowość i politykę bezpieczeństwa Białorusi? Analiza i wykazane wnioski, powinny być więc przydatne do właściwego odbioru niedawnych, aktualnych i potencjalnie – nadchodzących działań - Białorusi na arenie międzynarodowej, jak również możliwości wykorzystywania Białorusi przez Rosję. Głównym wnioskiem płynącym z opracowania należy uznać wciąż znaczący wpływ Kremla na losy białoruskiej państwowości, warunkowy zręcznym utrzymywaniem przez Rosję Białorusi w swojej orbicie wpływów i „mocarstwowej wystawie” na geopolitycznym froncie zachodnim, w ważnym etapie rekonfiguracji globalnego ładu. W artykule wykazano, że w wyniku „powściągliwej apodyktyczności” Rosji wobec Białorusi, której pozwala się na „charakterną satelickość” i „krnąbrną lojalność”, wywiązuje się między tymi państwami systemowy konsensus, który, pozwalając Putinowi wciąż czuć się imperatorem, wiąże Białoruś w sposób ograniczony w procesie rosyjskiego rewizjonizmu i dostarcza białoruskiemu dyktatorowi zasobów i osłony do przetrwania. W sytuacji, gdy nie jest możliwy, póki co powrót do „business as usual” z Zachodem i podłączenie pod tranzytowe koneksje Rosji z Zachodem, Łukaszenko próbuje realizować kontradyktoryczny (choć przydatny Rosji) zestaw przeciwstawnych ról: „niechętnego współagresora”, jak i „zwolennika pokoju” w wojnie ukraińsko-rosyjskiej.
