The Impact of Technological Challenges on Perceived Ageism: A Literature Study on the Antecedents of Intergenerational Cooperation in the Workplace
Authors: Kurniawan Daniel , Basauli Tambunan Damelina
Published: September 2023

The rise in discrimination numbers due to ageing in the workplace has increased research on ageism and intergenerational cooperation. This rise is because ageism is considered one of the most common forms of discrimination experienced in the work environment. It is more damaging than racism and sexism because it is more institutionalized and harder to recognize. One way to prevent or reduce ageism in the workplace is to build intergenerational interactions or collaborations. This study aims to build a comprehensive model of the antecedents or factors that influence quality improvement in intergenerational cooperation. By conducting some literature reviews, this study found three critical factors that might affect intergenerational cooperation. Those three factors are technological challenges, an organizational culture that supports intergenerational cooperation, and leadership. Further discussions and research design models are also presented in this study.
“When Everything was Forest”: Aikanã Histories and Environmental Destruction in Southern Amazonia
Authors: Grund Lisa
Published: September 2023

This article explores how the Aikanã, speakers of an isolate language, who live in the south-eastern Amazon, in the Brazilian State of Rondônia, make sense of the drastic transformations brought about by the colonisation of this region. Through an analysis of Aikanã narratives and life histories, the article highlights how Aikanã social memory gives meaning to experiences of contact, land loss and environmental destruction. It will contemplate the temporal markers, i.e. periodisations that occur in narratives and life histories and that delineate Aikanã historicity. These temporal markers refer predominantly to an experienced past between the beginning of the 20th century and the present, from a distant period of displacement from their traditional territory and the severe loss of human lives to the transformation of the forest into pastures for cattle and soy. In this vein, temporal markers are also anchored in space, unveiling sentiments of nostalgia and ecological grief for a past fertility of social life, interconnected with the fertility of the more-than-human world of the lost forest. Exploring Aikanã narrativity and its operation in the construction of social memory, the article aims to contribute to contemporary debates on Amazonian historicities, as well as to the theoretical and political role of Amazonian socialities in face of the current environmental crisis.
Contesting Extractivism through Amazonian Indigenous Artivism: Decolonial reflections on possibilities for crafting a pluriverse from within
Authors: Fortes Bartira Silva , Porsani Juliana , Lalander Rickard
Published: September 2023

This article provides an analysis of Amazonian Indigenous peoples’ “artivism” – understood as artistic expressions with activist orientation. It approaches artivism within the context of the emergence of Contemporary Indigenous Art in Brazil and its significance in the resistance against the centuries-long oppression of native peoples, illustrated by the advancement of extractivism in the Amazon. We focus on the artworks by four prominent Indigenous artivists: Jaider Esbell’s critical engagements with art history; Denilson Baniwa’s reanthropophagy movement; Daiara Tukano’s critique of articide; and Emerson Pontes’ transformation into Uýra, the Walking Tree. Altogether, the messages embedded in their artworks contest the dominant growth-oriented development narrative anchored on the pre-eminence of the human-nature ontological dualism, where Nature is reduced to economic resource, along with a view of development that positions western ways of knowing, being and living at the forefront of a civilizational continuum. We conclude by elucidating the central decolonizing role of Indigenous artivism and its potential to strengthen Indigenous’ voices and agendas which include exercising self-determination, resisting extractivism, and crafting more plural and just worlds.

Why the Far-Right Will Continue to Radicalise in Brazil
Authors: Campos Rodrigo D.E.
Published: September 2023

“Brazil is back on the world stage” – this was the main message Lula delivered as honorary guest at the UN Climate Summit in Egypt, less than a month after beating Bolsonaro in the runoff of Brazil’s presidential elections with a narrow margin of 50.9% against 49.1%. Lula’s high-strung victory in a divided country has attracted global media and political attention, reflecting not only concerns about the fate of Brazilian democracy after a long cycle of authoritarianism (2016-2022), but of how the election could point to a change in the correlation of forces in a number of consequential themes that resonate on the international agenda: the urgency of environmental protection and regulation, the resumption of the South American integration process, the possibility of a more assertive BRICS coalition pushing for a transition in economic development policies, the attention to social inclusion, the need to reverse neoliberal reforms related to labour market and public spending mechanisms, the hopes of re-organising international left-wing solidarity, among others.

Transforming the Medical Landscape: Applications of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in Combating Infectious Diseases
Authors: Saravanan Swetha
Published: September 2023

Robots have been developed for use in a variety of settings over the past decade. Examples of applications include rehabilitation and mobility, surgery, telepresence, and social assistance. These technological innovations have incredible potential in helping combat the spread of infectious diseases around the world. In this paper, the applications of robotics in diagnostics and surveillance, healthcare delivery, and vaccine development and research in regard to infectious diseases will be discussed. Recent advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence allow robots to perform more functions than ever before including processing real time data and making public health recommendations, detecting and tracking the presence of pathogens via robotic biosensors, and assisting in image-based diagnostics. In the healthcare setting, robots are able to assist in sanitation, hospitality, and the delivery of food and medications to patients. Robots have also assisted in the development and mass-manufacturing of vaccines during outbreaks such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic. However, ethical considerations and technological limitations may ultimately determine how well robotics is received among the general public and medical community. The largest of these concerns pertain to privacy and data security, quality of care, and resource allocation. It is crucial for researchers, medical professionals, and public health officials to keep such aspects in mind as they continue to innovate and transform the medical landscape.
A Sogdian Clan in Power at the Caliphate Caucasian Frontier: The Sajids. I. Abu ‘Ubayd Allah Muhammad (870s – 890s). Part 1
Authors: Koraev T. K. , Minjia Yan
Published: September 2023

The article analyses the main stages in the career of an inϐluential family having sprung from Central Asian soil in the service of the Caliphate during the 9th – 10th centuries. The Sajids whose origins go back into the milieu of petty Transoxanian (Sogdian & Ferganian) aristocracy in the ϐirst age of Islam rose in the entourage of the powerful generals under the early Abbasids and gave three generations of masterful administrators and military chiefs who left an imprint in the historical memories of both the Muslim & the Christian contemporaries due to their functioning as governors (wulat) representing (often in a mostly formal way) the interests of Baghdad in South Eastern Caucasia and North Western Iran. Their destinies reϐlect the contradictory features in the formation, evolution and degradation of the provincial elite characteristic for the decades of Abbasid decline (860s – 940s).
The ways of creating historical fiction stories in the Chahar maqala (“Four Discourses”) by Nizami ‘Aruzi Samarqandi (the mid-6/12th cent.)
Authors: Khismatulin A. A.
Published: September 2023

The article is a part of the research introduction to the new Russian translation of the Chahar maqala (“Four Discourses”) by Nizami ‘Aruzi Samarqandi, scheduled for publication next year as part of the third book in the series The Persian Mirrors for Princes Written in the Saljuq Period: Originals and Fabrications. This article is focused on the textual and literary analysis of the text illustrative and evidentiary base consisting of over 40 entertaining stories. According to the way of creating historical fiction, these stories are divided into five main categories: a) author’s fictions, following a certain structure and added to the formally plausible part of a story; b) author’s concoctions from beginning to end; c) the stories with an event borrowed from somewhere, but provided with an invented plot; d) the autobiographical memories, which stand out with amazing chronological accuracy against the unbelievable background of the first three categories; e) the borrowings from Arabic texts in the author’s translation.
Helping Code Reviewer Prioritize: Pinpointing Personal Data and Its Processing
Authors: Tang Feiyang , Østvold Bjarte M. , Bruntink Magiel
Published: September 2023

Ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a crucial aspect of software development. This task, due to its time-consuming nature and requirement for specialized knowledge, is often deferred or delegated to specialized code reviewers. These reviewers, particularly when external to the development organization, may lack detailed knowledge of the software under review, necessitating the prioritization of their resources. To address this, we have designed two specialized views of a codebase to help code reviewers in prioritizing their work related to personal data: one view displays the types of personal data representation, while the other provides an abstract depiction of personal data processing, complemented by an optional detailed exploration of specific code snippets. Leveraging static analysis, our method identifies personal data-related code segments, thereby expediting the review process. Our approach, evaluated on four open-source GitHub applications, demonstrated a precision rate of 0.87 in identifying personal data flows. Additionally, we fact-checked the privacy statements of 15 Android applications. This solution, designed to augment the efficiency of GDPR-related privacy analysis tasks such as the Record of Processing Activities (ROPA), aims to conserve resources, thereby saving time and enhancing productivity for code reviewers.
Enforcing Security Policies Using an Algebraic Approach
Authors: Hounwanou Honoré , Mejri Mohamed
Published: September 2023

The importance of information systems security in today’s technology-driven world cannot be overstated. Every organization, government, and business relies heavily on computer systems, making it crucial to ensure that the programs we develop are secure and free from any potential vulnerabilities that could result in devastating damage and financial losses. This paper presents a formal program-rewriting approach that automates the enforcement of security policies on untrusted programs. Given a program P and a security policy Φ we generate a new program P’ that respects the security policy Φ and behaves similarly (with respect to trace equivalence) to the original program P except when the security policy is about to be violated. The solution is made possible through the use of the ℰBPA*0,1 algebra, which is a modified version of BPA*0,1 (Basic Process Algebra) extended with variables, environments, and conditions. The ℰBPA*0,1 algebra provides the necessary formalization to tackle the problem, transforming the complex and challenging task of securing a program into a manageable task of solving a linear system with a known solution.

Published: September 2023

Background: during natural aging, cellular and molecular changes in the colonic mucosa contribute to chronic damage and the development of various neoplasia, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Aim: to assess the age peculiarities of mRNA expression in samples of normal mucosa from various parts of the colon. Patients and Methods: the study included 95 patients. Normal colonic mucosa biopsies were derived during videocolonoscopy from different parts of the colon, i.e., the right colon (n=91), left colon (n=95), and rectum (n=87). In total, 273 samples were examined. The relative level of mRNA expression of 63 genes potentially involved in various pathways of CRC carcino-genesis was evaluated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results: a linear regression model for predicting passport age, including data on gene ex-pression, was characterized by moderate reliability (R2 0.45, DW test 1.54). Age estimation er-rors in the model arise proportionally to its increase, which is associated with the accumulation of epigenetic changes. Maximum accuracy in age prediction is typical for rectal mucosa samples. The first statistically significant division (primary classification node) of patients by age in indi-viduals over or under 60 years provides the level of TERT gene expression. Telomerase activity in association with HLA-G5 gene overexpression is typical in older patients, whereas HLA-G5 gene hypoexpression and simultaneous granulysin (GNLY) overexpression are typical in patients younger than 60 years. A molecular cascade involving a decrease in telomerase activity due to TERT hypoexpression with simultaneous overexpression of the cell cycle regulator and tumor suppressor P14ARF is also typical for normal colonic mucosa in patients aged 60 years and over. Conclusion: our findings support molecular genetic changes in the colonic mucosa that occur with age. The specifics of gene expression involved in CRC carcinogenesis are the basis for assessing CRC risk. KEYWORDS: gene expression, mRNA, RT-PCR, normal colon mucosa, age, epigenetic changes, colorectal cancer.

CPTED for a Safe Basti: A Case of Nardan Camp
Authors: Bajaj Vanshika
Published: September 2023

The rapid urbanization has led to incremental growth of Basti’s in Delhi and these Basti’s have become major grounds for crime due to negligence as well as spaces which become prone to dumping of garbage, criminal activities as well as drug addiction. These spaces are generally located near to the periphery, which generally coincides with the entry to the forest or restricted areas, as in the case of Nardan Camp, Delhi. The residents have faced criminal activities such as theft, eve teasing, robbery etc. on a daily basis and the women have been the easiest target for the same. The primary research including the site visits revealed that the crime was due to easy access to the Basti, lack of physical infrastructure and behavior changes in the youth. The study indicated that the problems may be addressed by a few interventions based on the concepts of CPTED. These interventions were proposed after a thorough understanding of the needs and the activity pattern with community participation to bring in a sense of belonging to the dwellers. The public spaces could be made safer by providing basic physical infrastructure such as streetlights, boundary walls, creating buffer zones on the periphery, installing cameras etc. Also, by providing safe spaces for all age groups. These small interventions can bring a change in the Basti through CPTED and can help transform gloomy dysfunctional public spaces into celebrated community spaces while increasing livability and quality of life.
A Study of the Urban Nightlife of Delhi and its Impact on Safety
Authors: Ahsan Sobia
Published: September 2023

Delhi, the capital of India, has many facets as an urban space. It is a city that attracts vast number of people for better job opportunities, for quality education; Delhi has a rich heritage that attracts tourist from all over the world. Digitalization and current working trends have transformed the concept of working hours in the city. Many MNC’s gives provision of flexible working hours to their employees, while in some cases, long working hours are required. This have created an opportunity for the night time economy to grow. But the opportunities provided by the nightlife are counteracted by the various challenges. People’s safety is argued to be most compromised in the spaces at the night time.

It is in this context; the paper attempts to represent active nightlife as an approach that acts as a driving force for the city in terms of well-being and safety. It argues that spaces that are vibrant with nightlife establishments are comparatively safer than the spaces which do not account for any such establishments. One of the objectives of the study is to explore how nightlife establishments contribute to the social capital and public life of cities. Another objective is to identify the actors involved in the production of active nightlife spaces.

The study elucidates the argument by reviewing theoretical evidence and case studies. The relationship between nightlife and urban safety is explored, and various reasons for an active nightlife culture are identified through literature review.

The inferences are then applied on various urban spaces of Delhi. These urban spaces are selected based on the extent of activities happening in the night time. Through fieldwork, the material and immaterial structures of the nightlife establishments are documented and then dismantled to understand the nature of these areas, and how they operate and function among its people. The paper unfolds the potentials of the government regulations in enhancing the nightlife of the city. The paper concludes with specific suggestions for the improvement of nightlife in a public space where required.
Lutein and zeaxanthin – radio- and chemoprotective properties. Mechanism and possible use
Authors: Fiedorowicz Jakub , Dobrzynska Małgorzata M.
Published: September 2023

Lutein and zeaxanthin are naturally occurring xanthophylls, mainly present in green, leafy vegetables and egg's yolk. Their presence is connected with blue spectrum light absorbance, including UV. This property, and fact, that these xanthophylls are accumulated by human eye's macula, leads to eye's protective functions of them including protection from age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Also, antioxidative features of lutein and zeaxanthin are boosting overall health of human body. Numerous studies proves anti-inflammatory and protective attributes of these compounds, based on many, different mechanisms. One of them is regulating redox potential in cells, and impact on expression of linked genes. In preventing of eye diseases, an important gene that is regulated by lutein and zeaxanthin is the Nrf2 gene, whose increased activity leads to optimizing the cellular response to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and preventing related diseases. Other research confirms antiproliferative properties of mentioned compounds in case of certain human cancer cell lines. There are e.g.: HepG2 (hepatitis cancer), MCF-7 (breast cancer), which treated in vitro with lutein solution showed reduction of cell growth. Lutein alone, during in vivo studies conducted on mice, exhibited also radioprotective properties, positively affecting the vitality of animals. Lutein provides also increasing of tolerance to UV radiation, reducing inflammatory processes in the skin and preventing oncogenesis. Low intake of lutein and zeaxanthin, associated with "western diet", rich in simple carbohydrates and processed food, common in developed countries, including Poland, is linked with diabetes and obesity incidence. Assuming, lutein and zeaxanthin significantly affect the well-being of the human body, and their appropriate amount in diet can help reduce risk of many diseases. For supplementation, the optimized dosage of these xanthophylls includes doses of 10 mg for lutein and 2 mg for zeaxanthin, and it is recommended to consume along with fats or meals rich in fats.

Authors: Mannani Nysrine , Ariri Najat , Bitar Abdelali
Published: September 2023

Background. Milk is a nutritious food for humans, but it is also an ideal growth medium for pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes or Campylobacter spp, which can cause food poisoning.
Objective. For this reason, we evaluated the microbiological, physicochemical and hygienic quality of raw milk samples in 9 milk collection centres and cooperatives in the Beni-Mellal-Khenifr region before and after the implementation of the quality management system, hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP).
Materials and Method. The microbiological and physico-chemical quality of 184 raw milk samples in 9 milk collection centres and cooperatives in the Beni-Mellal-Khenifra region was evaluated before and after the implementation of the quality management, hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) system.
Results. The physico-chemical results obtained after the implementation of HACCP revealed that 78% of the samples analysed were below the maximum limits authorised at international level. A pH between 6.6 ±0.11 and 6.8±0.02, an acidity of 15°D, the milk is stable according to the Ramsdell test which is negative at 0.9. The temperature remains within the acceptance range with an average of 6.62 ±0.45°C to 7.7 ±0.36°C and the fat content is between 33 and 45g/ml. We also noted an improvement in the microbiological quality of milk in 81% of collection centres and cooperatives. The level of contamination by total coliforms is from 2.5x104 to 11.5x104 CFU/ml lower than the Moroccan standard (NM 08.0. 100) of 1.5x104 CFU/ml to 20.3x104 CFU/ml, the total aerobic mesophilic flora and the psychrotrophs have an average of 2.5x105 germs/ml to 82x105 germs/ml lower than before improvement (12.5x105 germs/ml to 192x105 germs/ml).
Conclusion. We can conclude that the work done leads to an improvement and satisfaction of the quality of raw milk compared to the standard after the implementation of HACCP.

Authors: Elfane Houda , Sahel Khadija , El-Jamal Sanaa , Barakat Imane , Daif Halima , El-Ayachi Mohammed , Belahsen Rekia
Published: September 2023

Background. Low birth weight (LBW) is a major health problem responsible for neonatal mortality and morbidity such as diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease in adulthood.
Objective. This case-control study aims to compare data on the intake of energy, macro and micronutrient in two groups of pregnant women, who gave birth to low birth weight (LBW) babies named cases and those who gave birth to babies of normal weight (NW) called controls.
Material and methods. The collection of information was done using an established questionnaire for 400 pregnant women, allowing the collection of data on socio-demographic and obstetrical factors. Nutritional intake was obtained by recording food consumption using the 24-hour recall method. Anthropometric measurements of parturient and fundal height (FH) were measured before delivery.
Results. The mean FH of the cases was 25.69±0.13 and that of the controls was 31.83±0.06. The gestational age of the cases was on average 31.65±0.21 week of amenorrhea (WA) against 38.04±0.08 WA for the controls. 37% of LBW newborns had an Apgar score < 7 (p< 0.001) and 71% were hospitalized in neonatal intensive care (p<0.001). Micronutrient deficiency was raised and concerned calcium 34.02% vs 60.65%, folates 48.32% vs 68.01% and iron 50.85% vs 66% in cases and controls respectively. Newborns from NW had a weight of 3395.5±15.99 against 1957.25±30.72 for those from LBW.
Conclusion. This study shows that the nutritional intake did not cover all the nutrient needs of the pregnant women studied and that newborns with LBW are associated with an altered anthropometric status. Improving the living conditions of mothers, good monitoring of pregnancy, and good nutritional education can significantly improve the nutritional status with the same food intake and should be integrated into the nutritional intervention strategies.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the prevalence, severity, and nature of adverse events (AEs) and provide suggestions on how to prevent AEs recurrence in an inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Iran. Methods: This retrospective descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2021 at Rofaydeh Rehabilitation Hospital in Tehran City, Iran. AEs associated with rehabilitation services and nursing care, which were reported in the hospital’s voluntary reporting system from 2018 to 2021 were evaluated. A standard checklist codified by the Ministry of Health of Iran was used to collect the data from the medical error documentation. The data were analyzed by the SPSS software, version 21, using descriptive statistics, the chi-square, and the Fisher exact tests. Results: A total of 5642 patients had been hospitalized in the study setting and 517 AEs had been documented during the 4 years of the study. The most common AEs in descending order were as follows: falls 288(55.7%), pressure ulcers 57(11.02%), medication errors 50(9.67%), clinical process 49(9.47%), clinical administration (issues with admission process 10(1.93%) and wrong patient identification 5(0.96%). Among 58(11.21%) cases of hospital-acquired infections, 45(77.58%) cases were urinary tract infections. There was a significant relationship between age and fall (P=0.026), pressure ulcer (P=0.006), and hospital-acquired infection (P=0.001), and between gender and fall (P=0.01), pressure ulcer (P=003), and hospital-acquired infection (P=0.01). The severity of identified AEs was categorized into mild 431(83.36%), moderate 61(11.79%), and severe 25(4.83%). The most common causes of AEs were limited supervision of patients by healthcare providers. Discussion: This study showed that patient fall, pressure ulcer, and hospital-acquired infection were the most prevalent AEs in the rehabilitation hospital. Future efforts to improve patient safety in these settings should focus on reducing such AEs along with removing barriers to voluntary incident reporting.

Objectives: Considering the prevalence and importance of depression, it is necessary to study the new psychological variables involved in its formation, persistence, and recurrence. Accordingly, this study aims to investigate the relationship between psychological flexibility (PF), mindful ability (MA), and self-compassion with the severity of depression in patients with mood disorders. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from October to January 2018. A total of 80 patients with various mood disorders were selected via a purposive sampling method based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria from the psychiatric wards of Noor Hospital and clinics affiliated with Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. They completed the self-compassion scale, acceptance and action questionnaire, Freiburg mindfulness inventory–short form, and the Beck depression inventory-II. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software, version 24. Meanwhile, the Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression were applied as well. Results: The correlation coefficient between PF and depression was -0.79. This coefficient was -0.91 and -0.87 between self-compassion and depression and MA and depression, respectively. This indicates a strong inverse relationship between depression scores and these variables. Stepwise regression analysis showed that gender and MA were respectively the best predictors of depression (P<0.05). Discussion: Based on the results, there was a significant relationship between low self-compassion, PF, and MA and depression in patients with mood disorders.

Background: The incidence of pancreatic neoplasms in infants and children is 1.8 cases per 1000000. Three of children’s most common primary pancreatic neoplasms are pancreatoblastoma, solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas, and pancreatic endocrine neoplasms. Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is a low-grade malignant tumor. Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm in children is presented with a palpable mass (60%), followed by abdominal pain (33.3%). Although duodenal invasion frequently occurs in patients with pancreatic cancer, massive gastrointestinal bleeding is seldom encountered. The most helpful imaging technique is the CT scan. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for solid pseudopapillary neoplasms. Case Presentations: A 14 years old male adolescent was presented to our pediatric emergency department with fatigue, dizziness, fever, vomiting, and tachycardia. He had melena 5 days before admission. Crystalloids, pantoprazole, and packed red blood cells were administered to stabilize the patient. As the initial resuscitation measures stabilized the patient, endoscopic gastroduodenoscopy was performed, and a vascular lesion measuring 60×70 mm was noted in the second part of the duodenum. CT scan of the abdomen with intravenous and oral contrast showed a mass with solid and cystic components measuring 75×52 mm between the head of the pancreas and gallbladder origination from the head of the pancreas. The patient underwent Whipple surgery. The diagnosis of the pathologic evaluation was a solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas. Conclusions: Most pediatric pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas present with a palpable mass and abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal bleeding is a rare presentation not mentioned in previous case reports.
