Balancing stakeholder interests and paradoxes in health data sharing within health ecosystems
Authors: Wang Fan , Mohamed Mahmoud , Ahokangas Petri , Karppinen Pasi
Published: April 2024

Personal health data sharing can facilitate value co-creation between multiple stakeholders, including individuals, public organisations, private companies, research institutes, and policymakers. Yet, when companies are involved in sharing health data to develop health-related solutions, it can lead to conflicts and contradictions between stakeholders. We apply a qualitative research approach over two cases in the Finnish healthcare sector to explore the tensions and contradictions in sharing personal health data that companies can utilise in the development of new products/or services in the healthcare sector. We identify the tensions and paradoxes from multiple stakeholders’ perspectives and provide management approaches on three levels: (I) The micro-level focusing on individuals as users, (II) The meso-level concerns businesses operating within the digital health ecosystem. (III) The macro-level addresses broader societal impact and policies governing the secondary use of health data.
DIGIDIA-project: Experiences of video-enabled receptions for prevention of type 2 diabetes
Authors: Airikkala Elisa , Laaksonen Mari , Rintala Tuula-Maria
Published: April 2024

The time of the COVID-19 epidemic emphasized the need for the development and implementation of remote receptions and digital services, as preventive work was reduced, and people decreased their in-person visits in health care due to fear of infections. In 2020, the diagnoses of type 2 diabetes (T2D) decreased, despite the fact that diabetes is known to be increasing. DIGIDIA (Promoting Digital Skills in the Low Labour Market-Driven Diabetes Patients) project aimed to respond to this need. The project focused on developing digital health competence, health literacy, and practices that enable preparation for future unforeseen events.
The project recruited adults from Tampere who were at risk of T2D, had prediabetes, or recently received a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (n=60). Participants were provided with a digital learning environment, workshops, and video-enabled receptions. This article presents the use of video reception and user experiences (n=52) in the project.
The participants appreciated all organized activities. All but one participant felt that video-enabled reception suited them well. The majority of participants (87%) expressed a desire for using video reception again in health care settings. However, it was pointed out that this form of telemedicine might not be suitable for everyone, and concerns about data security were also raised.
As a conclusion, citizens were ready to use video-enabled services in healthcare settings.  The use of video receptions should be increased in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Equine keratomycosis due to Aspergillus flavus in Argentina
Authors: Zapata Gustavo Leonardo , Terziotti Horacio , Tizzano Marco , Della Vedova Romina , Reynaldi Francisco José
Published: April 2024

A 9-year-old gelding presented a corneal ulcer unresponsive to treatment in his right eye. The trauma was caused by vegetal material. The ophthalmologic exam revealed paraxial corneal opacity, whitish discharge, peripheral oedema, congestion of conjunctival vessels and corneal angiogenesis. Microscopic examination of smears revealed the presence of neutrophils and fungal hyphae. On day 3 of culture, several small white fluffy colonies that rapidly turned to pale green were detected. These colonies were isolated to study their micro and macromorphology. Microscopic examination revealed the presence of colourless, thick-walled, roughened conidiophores, ranging from 340 to 1650 μm in length, with globose to sub-globose vesicles, ranging from 22 to 48 μm in diameter. Vesicles had one or two series of phialides. Conidia were globose, olive-green with slightly rough, thin walls that ranged from 3 to 7 μm in diameter. Molecular identification was also performed. Both techniques confirmed the presence of Aspergillus flavus complex. Topical treatment with natamycin resulted in healing within 10 days. To our knowledge, this is the first case of equine keratomycosis reported in Argentina.

Authors: Pérez Sandoval Miguel Ángel , Camacho Flores Andrés Manuel , Ramírez Peregrino Leilani , Romero Mendoza Yoselin , Trejo Remigio Diana Laura
Published: April 2024

Nuestra exploración comienza con una mirada retrospectiva, donde desentrañamos las páginas doradas de la historia de Luxor. Desde su distinguido papel como la capital del Imperio Nuevo, entre los siglos XVI y XI a.C., hasta su posterior influencia durante los períodos helenístico e islámico, esta ciudad ha sido el epicentro de la política, la religión y la cultura egipcias. Sin embargo, nuestro objetivo va más allá de la mera narración histórica; nos adentramos en el corazón mismo de Luxor para analizar su tejido urbano con ojos críticos y perspicaces. Desde los albores de su existencia, exploramos los orígenes y antecedentes de esta metrópolis, sumergiéndonos en su geografía, su historia natural y su rica herencia cultural. A continuación, nos sumergimos en las profundidades de su estructura urbana, desentrañando las complejidades de sus subdivisiones territoriales, sus redes de comunicación y sus puntos de referencia icónicos. Acompañados de ilustraciones y mapas, revelamos los secretos enterrados en sus calles y plazas, en sus templos sagrados y en sus bulliciosos mercados. Finalmente, nos detenemos a contemplar la majestuosidad física y formal de Luxor, explorando su traza urbana a lo largo de los siglos, sus distintos géneros y tipologías arquitectónicas, así como los materiales y sistemas constructivos que dieron vida a sus monumentos y edificaciones más emblemáticas.

Published: April 2024

El ejemplar que tienes en tus manos es parte de una obra que se ofrece en dos entregas. Primero, una edición-antología y, posteriormente, la reproducción del manuscrito más cercano a la voluntad editorial de su autor, establecida sobre base documentada Genio e ingenio del poeta judeoandaluz Miguel de Barrios y Edición crítica del manuscrito Lansdowne 711, de la British Library, respectivamente. Ha sido un trabajo largo en el tiempo, con distintas calas significativas y reposado sobre otros anteriores, de los dos autores que lo subscribimos. A través de estos volúmenes queremos presentar el caso de un sefardí inmerso entre paisajes de clamores y apremios de libertad, a lo largo de su vida, circunstancias y obra. Pero lo que queremos mostrarte no es lo que sobre el autor ya se ha escrito –algunas de esas contribuciones han sido nuestras–,sino lo que no se ha dicho: ahora pisamos el terreno de lo común.
The Hillbilly Stereotype in Horror Comics
Authors: Pecina Jozef
Published: April 2024

From William Byrd’s 18th-century “lubbers” of the North Carolina backcountry through the deviant gun-toting hicks with missing teeth from John Boorman’s survival thriller Deliverance (1972) to Darlene Snell from Netflix’s recent crime drama series Ozark (2016), the stereotype of the “hillbilly” has been one of the most pervasive images in American popular culture. This image has been usually associated with mountaineers inhabiting either the Appalachians or the Ozarks, and it has portrayed them as dirty, lazy, ignorant, often mean, violent and dangerous. Since the beginning of the 20th century, it has been popularized by film, music, and, starting with the Depression Era, also by comic strips such as Al Capp’s Li’l Abner, which shaped all subsequent depictions of these mountain folk. This article considers the depiction of hillbillies in comics with a focus on horror comics published by EC in the early 1950s.
Evaluating the current state of Digital Era Governance application in local government units in the Małopolska region
Authors: Wodecka-Hyjek Angelika , Kusa Rafał , Kafel Tomasz
Published: April 2024

The study aims to determine the implementation degree of Digital Era Governance (DEG) in selected local government units (LGU) of Małopolskie Voivodeship and to show differences in the effectiveness of digitalisation in LGUs depending on the level of local government, i.e., the county and the municipality. The study employs a model of digital maturity intended specifically for public administration. This model assesses six dimensions of digital maturity, namely, digitalisation-focused management, openness to stakeholders’ (partners’) needs, digital competencies of employees, digitalisation of processes, digital technologies, and e-innovativeness. The study results indicate that the examined local government units in the Małopolska region suffer from a low level of digital maturity. In particular, the results show that the implementation of digital technologies and the digital competencies of staff are the most developed dimensions of digitalisation in the examined local government units. In turn, e-innovation and process digitalisation are the least developed areas and require further improvement. Additionally, digital maturity is lower at the municipal than county level. These findings confirm the thesis that New Public Management affects the development of local government and highlights the increasing role played by Digital Era Governance. In contrast to most studies on public administrations, this study focuses on the local government level. It employs the original model of digital maturity in the field of public administration. This study intends to contribute to the concept of Digital Era Governance by focusing on the digitalisation of LGUs.
Performance evaluation method of the service quality dimensions using Six Sigma metrics, the main components’ quality indicator and the geometric capacity indicator
Authors: Herrera Tomás José Fontalvo , Acosta Roberto Herrera , Maturana Ana Gabriela Banquez
Published: April 2024

This research aims to propose an evaluation and monitoring method with the Six Sigma performance metrics, the main component quality indicator, and the geometric capacity indicator to control service quality dimensions. The research was quantitative and evaluative. It was developed using primary historical information on the quality criteria of hotel service in twelve periods of 2019. It was possible to demonstrate that the geometric indicator was the most demanding capacity with a value of 0.91163, followed by the multivariate main components’ indicator with a value of 0.9559, establishing as a relevant finding the integrality of the three performance criteria to evaluate a service. Topics of service quality, Six Sigma metrics, multivariate main component and geometric capacity indicators were addressed as a theoretical foundation. The research provides a unique contribution in the form of an innovative and efficient continuous improvement method, which makes services more reliable and accurate. Univariate and multivariate statistics were intensively used to evaluate and improve the dimensions of a service from different perspectives. This method has not been considered from the same approach despite its great usefulness in quality control.
Gerontechnology ranking using the TOPSIS methods
Authors: Halicka Katarzyna , Gola Arkadiusz
Published: April 2024

Population ageing is a major challenge affecting the future of science and technology policy and governance in industrialised societies. In this context, a key element is ensuring adequate protection, safety and care for older people when needed. The solution to enable active and healthy ageing is innovative technologies called gerontechnologies, which support older people. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the systematic analysis and evaluation of gerontechnologies, which requires research in theoretical and empirical aspects. There is a need to focus on developing and supporting gerontechnologies to help older people reach their full potential in different spheres of life. Research should focus on analysing these technologies, their effectiveness and their impact on the quality of life of older people. This paper evaluates, analyses and builds a ranking of several selected technologies: (1) the wheelchair based on artificial intelligence Wheelie7, (2) the humanoid Rudy Robot, and (3) the wristband/watch VitalBand. The research was conducted in Poland. Based on a literature review, the authors identified relevant technologies to improve the quality of life of older people. These technologies were then assessed by people over 40 against various criteria. This age group was chosen because the issues of gerontechnology concern these people now in the context of their parents using the technology and being potential users of gerontechnology in 20–30 years. The study answered the following research questions: (1) What are the criteria for evaluating technologies that enhance the quality of life for older individuals? (2) How were the selected gerontechnologies evaluated? (3) How should the TOPSIS method be applied to build a ranking of gerontechnologies? (4) Which of the selected gerontechnologies was rated the highest by potential users?
May food become medicine - does carp meat have a chance to become a functional food for people with cardiovascular disease?
Authors: Nieradko Agnieszka , Nieradko-Iwanicka Barbara
Published: April 2024

Fish consumption is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease mortality. The health benefits of fish consumption are attributed to high content of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), especially eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid. Animal and human studies have demonstrated that n-3 PUFAs improve the function of the normal and damaged endothelium. It is recommended to eat two servings of fish per week.

The aim of the review was to find publications about the nutritional value of carp meat and its possible uses as functional food for patients with cardiovascular disease.

A search for open–access original full texts sin PubMed, Google Scholar, Medline Complete database was performed in June 2022. A total of 490 results were found. Eventually 22 articles were included for systematic review.

Carp consumption improves plasma lipid profile and therefore it could be considered a functional food. Carp meat is rich in essential amino acids too. The carp culture systems decide about PUFA and protein content in the meat. Carp can be cooked as traditional dishes or carp powder can be added to other dishes to enrich their nutritional value. The recommended method of carp meat preparation to preserve its’ nutritional value is oven baking. Carp meat or carp powder can be used as functional food for patients with cardiovascular diseases.

The aim of this study was to determine whether early commencement of clean intermittent catheterisation can improve impaired kidney function in children with continent vesicostomy as well as to analyse the effect of different types of continent vesicostomy and the observed outcome. All children with continent urinary derivation performed at the University Children’s Hospital in Belgrade, Serbia, during the period 1990-2016, were included in this retrospective-prospective study. The participants were divided into three groups with respect to type of continent vesicostomy (appendicovesicostomy, preputial continent vesicostomy, and vesicostomy using distal ureter). Clean Intermittent Catheterisation with continent vesicostomy, oxybutynin, and antibiotic prophylaxis were used in a standard way. Renal function was monitored by the value of glomerular filtration rate taken before the start of the therapy and three years afterward. The significance of differences was tested by the paired-samples t-test and ANOVA test. We analysed 74 patients aged 3 to 10 years (5.5-y average) of which 80% were boys. Renal function improved in 60.5% patients. A highly significant improvement in kidney function three years after the commencement of combined treatment was shown irrespective of the performed method of vesicostomy (p<0.01). Using the ANOVA test, we have proved that there is no difference in the efficiency of therapy between particular groups (p= 0,256). The timely started therapy lead to significant kidney function improvement. The type of continent vesicostomy did not affect kidney function.

Published: April 2024

Hemodiafiltration is a method of treatment used to replace kidney function, which effectively removes uremic toxins of middle molecular weight from the blood of patients with the end-stage of chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of postdilution online hemodiafiltration on the degree of β2- microglobulin removal. Thirty patients treated with postdilution online hemodiafiltration were examined. The main parameter for assessing the removal efficiency of uremic toxins of middle molecular weight was the concentration of β2-microglobulin in the serum before and after a single session of postdilution online hemodiafiltration. The following tests were used for statistical analysis: Shapiro-Wilk test, Student’s T test for bound samples and Wilcoxon test. The average total convective volume is 21.38 ± 2.97 liters per session. The reduction index of β2-microglobulin during a single session of postdilution online hemodiafiltration is 70.86 ± 6.87%. The average loss of albumin during a single postdilution online hemodiafiltration is 2.50 ± 0.92 g/4h, and the albumin reduction index is 6.20 ± 2.12%. Postdilution online hemodiafiltration effectively removes β2-microglobulin from the blood of patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease. The reduction index of β2-microglobulin is ˜ 71.00% and the loss of albumin is less than 4.0 g/4h. This dialysis modality prevents the development of dialysis-related amyloidosis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases in the population of patients treated with regular hemodiafiltration.

The aim of this study was to assess and compare the oxidative stress status in STEMI and NSTEMI patients by measuring markers of free radical production and levels of antioxidant. The research was designed as an observational study with a cohort of 83 AMI hospitalized patients divided into a case (STEMI) and control (NSTEMI) group. In the study, we used the data from the patients’ electronic medical records and paper files and two scores (TIMI, and GRACE) analyzed routine biochemical parameters and biochemical assays for ROS. The statistical analysis included descriptive methods, hypothesis testing and bivariate correlation. In our research, the results clearly showed that patients with STEMI had an increased activity of vSOD compared with NSTEMI patients (p<0.01). Also, the levels of TBARS in plasma of patients with STEMI were significantly increased compared to the NSTEMI patients (p<0.01). Importantly, there were no differences between STEMI patients and NSTEMI patients, for the levels of O2
−, H2O2, NO, CAT, GSH. In STEMI patients, we found a positive correlation between TBARS and troponin level and a positive correlation between SOD and troponin level. In addition, our results also showed a positive correlation between AST levels and TBARS and a positive correlation between AST levels and SOD. We also found a positive correlation between GRACE score values and TBARS and SOD. Our study demonstrated that the levels of TBARS and SOD were significantly higher in STEMI patients than in NSTEMI.

Published: April 2024

The pharmacoeconomic aspect of the treatment of pneumonia in the pediatric population is scarce analyzed in the countries of the Balkan region. This research aimed to determine the value of total hospital costs of treating childhood pneumonia from the Republic Fund of Health Insurance perspective. This retrospective cost of illness study was performed using the “from the bottom to the top” approach. It included 82 patients with childhood pneumonia who were treated at Clinical for pediatrics at Clinical Centre Kragujevac. The total costs of hospital treatment of pneumonia for the examined population were 4,095,293.73 RSD. The largest share in total hospital costs has the length of patient hospitalization (22%). The median total hospital costs per patient per year amounted to 40,249.91 RSD (4,793.10 - 142,149.63 RSD). Since the main determinants of overall costs of treating childhood pneumonia are the length of stay and noninvasive ventilation rate, therapeutic strategies should provide not only efficient treatment in compliance with current guidelines as also decreasing these determinants to offer a better pharmacoeconomic profile of childhood pneumonia.
“Never enough, never perfect”: Participatory activist practice in the museum
Authors: Sitzia Emilie
Published: April 2024

Recent outbursts of activist interventions in museums have put a spotlight on the difficult relationship of cultural spaces with activism as they aspire to be forums, sites for civil, social, and cultural participation (Black, 2005; Byrne, 2018; Janes & Sandell, 2019; Pegno, 2021). On the one hand, museums want to be engaged and relevant, taking part in social dialogue as “agents of change” (Mouffe, 2016; Sandell, 2003). On the other, they often have complex relationships with the activists themselves, especially in the framework of participatory practices (Coffee, 2008; Lorente, 2015). This article focuses on the process of co-creation of an exhibition about the social history of AIDS at the Museum of Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean (the Mucem) in Marseille, France, and explores how this participatory project involving activists can help us better understand the challenges of museum activism. The core question this article addresses is: how did activists experience the co-creation participatory process, and what can the museum learn from it to inform their practice of museum activism?
Austin in the Lab: Empirically reconsidering the constative-performative distinction
Authors: Kornmesser Stephan , Bauer Alexander Max
Published: April 2024

Austin’s groundbreaking distinction between constative and performative utterances and his investigation of how to act in saying something initiated a whole new research programme in linguistics and philosophy of language. Within this programme, the arguments and discussions concerning the constative-performative distinction are based on linguistic intuitions. However, generally, they are only based on the respective linguist’s or philosopher’s own intuitions. This fact makes the whole programme seem incomplete because the linguistic intuitions of native speakers should be considered an important contribution which, so far, is mostly missing. With this article, we contribute to closing this gap by empirically investigating native speakers’ linguistic intuitions with respect to the following four aims: Aim 1 is concerned with the question of whether Austin’s criteria for distinguishing between performatives and constatives work. In order to achieve Aim 2, we introduce a new criterion for distinguishing between constatives and performatives, representing what we call the event character of performatives. For Aim 3, we evaluate Austin’s presumably strongest argument to reject the constativeperformative distinction which we call the Constative Expositive Argument. Aim 4 is concerned with the much-discussed question of whether performatives have truth values and, thus, are statements. In order to achieve the four aims, we present the findings of an online study comparing native speakers’ responses to vignettes containing constative or performative utterances.
The morphological and syntactic functions of Dagbani nominal suffixes
Authors: Hudu Fusheini , Iddrisu Abdallah
Published: April 2024

One of the defining morphological properties of nouns and adjectives of Dagbani (a Gur/Mabia language of northern Ghana) and related languages is the presence of suffixes that mark number (singular or plural) as well as serve as the basis for noun classification. The typical regular noun or adjective (e.g. bi-a ‘a child’) consists of a bound root (bi-) providing the lexical meaning, and a suffix (-a) which indicates the singular number of the noun. In plural form, the suffix is replaced by a different one that marks plurality: (bi-hi). In this paper, we show that while this broad description is generally accepted, it is much weaker than assumed in previous studies, with many inconsistencies. As our main goal, we offer a much broader analysis of the morphological and syntactic functions of the nominal suffixes. We show that these suffixes are primarily there to project lexical words as nouns and adjectives and should be referred to as nominal suffixes used to inflect inherent nouns and derive nouns and adjectives from verbs. The nominal suffixes are also crucial to distinguishing between different compound nouns and noun phrases. The paper is largely descriptive, with no specific theoretical approach assumed.

Tangible cultural heritage is a strategic resource for the development of rural and urban settlements. Cooperation with stakeholders from EU countries and regions within the Danube macro-region, such as cultural heritage institutions and competent authorities, allows to agree on the preparation and adaptation of compatible digital innovation strategies in local initiative groups in the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, as well as on impact mapping through a set of pan-European socio-economic indicators. Objectives of the study: to analyse the available European best practices and methodology for adaptation in the integration of the regions of the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine in the interregional innovation partnership on the smart specialisation "Cultural and Creative Regional Ecosystems" (CCRE-S3) [1]. The overall horizontal objective of the integration into the platform should be to add value to the common characteristics of the cultural and creative sector and to create a permanent discovery mechanism that will carry out activities to identify strategic investments and the use of innovation transfer tools. Previous works: previous concept, research and experience are described in the articles [2] and [3]. Approach: European benchmarking, comparative analysis, bibliographic research. Outcome: recommendations aimed at stimulating new ideas and opportunities related to cultural and creative experiences for local communities and residents by involving several groups of professions that use, apply and implement new technologies in the cultural and creative industries sector. The European Programmes provide resources to support their implementation. In this way, the Danube Strategy participating States [4],  by supporting partnerships between the cultural heritage sector and other sectors such as higher education and vocational education and training, creative industries and sustainable cultural tourism, will be able to stimulate innovation for new services and applications in their regions.
Smart life and sustainable development: a comparative analysis on energy and water efficiency in China and the EU
Authors: VIRTOSU Ina , LI Chen
Published: April 2024

Smart life relies on huge volumes of data analysis, which makes data centers become important infrastructure in smart city areas. Nowadays, data centers are constructed in many countries and have become increasingly large electricity consumers. The consumption of electricity is caused not only by the servers of data centers but also by the cooling systems. Meanwhile, data centers also demand water - cooling methods, which result in water consumption. As for sustainable development, water and energy consumption are huge challenges. Laws and rules are necessary for utilizing efficiently relevant sources. This paper will analyze China and the European Union (EU) as two examples of jurisdictions to compare how the governments regulate the construction of data centers to implement the thrift of electricity and water. In China, provinces and cities established diverse regulations based on their different natural and climate conditions, thus there is not a uniform model for the implementation in the country. In the EU, the amendment of Energy Efficiency Directive seeks to establish common policies. The difference of rules in these two jurisdictions reflects that China and the EU have their own principles and objectives: China attempts to balance the demand of developing smart city infrastructures and the consumption on natural resources, but the EU has strong ambition on low carbon emission in the whole Union. However, the two jurisdictions still have a common goal to maximize the efficiency of water and electricity consumption which is a fundamental issue for accelerating the transition towards sustainability.

A Dermatite Atópica e a Epidermólise Bolhosa são doenças crônicas que afetam a estrutura morfológica e bioquímica da pele, provocando lesões e alterações sistêmicas nos indivíduos afetados, podendo ocasionar infecções generalizadas. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar e sintetizar as contribuições das pesquisas produzidas sobre os cuidados de enfermagem para crianças com dermatite atópica ou epidermólise bolhosa. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, cuja pergunta norteadora foi: “Quais são os cuidados de enfermagem para o paciente pediátrico com dermatite atópica ou epidermólise bolhosa?”. Sua busca aconteceu nas bases de dados: Medline; CINAHL; LILACS e CUIDEN. Não houve restrição quanto ao ano de publicação e foram analisados estudos publicados nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol. Como resultados foram incluídos 23 estudos, dois quais duas categorias foram elencadas: Assistência de Enfermagem às Crianças Portadoras de Dermatite Atópica e a Epidermólise Bolhosa e, Educação em Saúde. Evidenciou-se a necessidade de investimento em pesquisas bem delineadas sobre o tema, pois a raridade da condição, a escassez de referencial e a dificuldade em encontrar pacientes aptos para intervenções são fatores que contribuem neste cenário científico.

انعكست ظاهرة التنافس الدولي على المنطقة العربية، على ما تشهده المنطقة من تحولات سياسية وأمنية، والتي يرجع محاولة فهمها وتحليلها الى ما تشهده تفاعلات الدول الكبرى تجاه المنطقة العربية من تنافس في سبيل تدعيم نفوذها ومصالحها في المنطقة،  وحاولت من اجل ذلك استثمار المتغيرات في المنطقة العربية في سبيل خلق مناطق نفوذ جديدة أو إرجاع مناطق نفوذ سابقة، واعتمدت الدول المتنافسة بشكل كبير على الأدوات الدبلوماسية لخلق شرعية تتيح لها التدخل في المنطقة، أو ممارسة الضغط والتأثير على المنطقة العربية، وبالشكل الذي يجعل مسار الأزمات والأحداث في المنطقة يسير وفق أهدافها، وشكلت المتغيرات في المنطقة العربية فرصة وتحدي للأطراف الدولية المتنافسة بنفس الوقت، إذ مثلت فرصة لبعض القوى الدولية للعمل على زيادة نفوذها في المنطقة العربية على حساب الأطراف الدولية المتنافسة الأخرى، وساهمت هذه المتغيرات أيضا في تهديد مصالح ومناطق نفوذ القوى الدولية الأخرى، وتعد ثورات الربيع العربي وتصاعد نشاط الجماعات الإرهابية من ابرز المتغيرات التي ساهمت في زيادة التفاعلات التنافسية للدول الكبرى في المنطقة العربية، إذ عملت الدول الكبرى على استثمارها بالشكل الذي يضمن تحقيق مصالحها في المنطقة، ورغم توظيف الأطراف المتنافسة مختلف الأدوات الدبلوماسية والاقتصادية والعسكرية في سبيل الوصول الى أهدافها، لكن اعتمدت بشكل كبير على الأدوات الدبلوماسية، للحصول على الشرعية الدولية، التي تتيح لها التدخل واستخدام جميع الأدوات بما فيها الأدوات العسكرية.
Hierarchical Framework for Space Exploration Campaign Schedule Optimization
Authors: Gollins Nicholas , Ho Koki
Published: April 2024

Space exploration plans are becoming increasingly complex as public agencies and private companies target deep-space locations, such as cislunar space and beyond, which require long-duration missions and many supporting systems and payloads. Optimizing multimission exploration campaigns is challenging due to the large number of required launches as well as their sequencing and compatibility requirements, making conventional space logistics formulations unscalable. To tackle this challenge, this paper proposes an alternative approach that leverages a two-level hierarchical optimization algorithm: an evolutionary algorithm is used to explore the campaign scheduling solution space, and each of the solutions is then evaluated using a time-expanded multicommodity flow mixed-integer linear program. A number of case studies, focusing on the Artemis lunar exploration program, demonstrate how the method can be used to analyze potential campaign architectures. The method enables a potential mission planner to study the sensitivity of a campaign to program-level parameters such as logistics vehicle availability and performance, payload launch windows, and in situ resource utilization infrastructure efficiency.
Leveraging Postgraduate Education for Sustainable Development : The Resource-Nexus and Environmental Management in Global South Partnerships
Authors:   Technische Universität Dresden, Lindner Andre
Published: April 2024

Higher education institutions play a crucial role in fostering innovation, research, and knowledge transfer that directly impact the attainment of the SDGs. Postgraduate education, in particular, provides a unique opportunity to train and equip the next generation of leaders, researchers, and professionals with the necessary skills, knowledge, and interdisciplinary perspectives required to address complex global challenges. The concept of the resource nexus emphasizes the interconnectedness of different resources (e.g., water, energy, food, materials) and the importance of adopting a holistic approach to sustainable development. By promoting collaborations and partnerships between the Global South and North, we can facilitate knowledge exchange, capacity building, mutual learning and technology transfer, thus creating a positive ripple effect across regions and addressing common sustainability challenges.

This comment discusses the available laws around human rights which relate to academic harassment. We discuss how human rights are being violated by institutions, together with how and to what extent institutions violate their policies in action. We propose recommendations for changing this age-old issue in our science backyard. Institutions, regardless of their type (i.e., public bodies, quasi-public or private entities) have a duty to conduct harassment investigations in a principled, responsible and lawful manner. They must conform to the layered legal framework of the country in which they are established, the principles of academic freedom and non-discrimination as well as comply with the highest standards in public life, including integrity, honesty, selflessness, openness, objectivity, accountability and leadership. The legal framework, on the other hand, encompasses not only equality and labour laws, but also international and national human rights law. Protecting targets against human rights abuses is a legal obligation for public or quasi-public institutions; private institutions, on the other hand, have the responsibility to respect human rights and to support target’s rights to access an effective remedy when their human rights are breached.

Background: Annually, road traffic crash account for more than 1.2 million deaths and up to 50 million injuries worldwide, making it a leading cause of death globally. Given the low rate of vehicle ownership in developing countries, most of the population depends on buses for public transport. In Cameroon, buses are frequently involved in road traffic crashes. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of road traffic crashes and risk factors associated with road traffic crash among bus drivers in the South West Region-Cameroon. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving bus drivers with at least 3 years driving experience in passenger transportation. Multi-stage sampling was employed with random selection of six parks from three divisions in the South West Region of Cameroon. Proportionate sampling was done to select the bus drivers at the selected parks. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire. It was inputted and analyzed using EPI info version 3.5.4. Bivariate and multivariate analysis were used to identify risk factors associated road traffic crash history within 3 years prior to the survey with statistical significance set at p<0.05. Results: Out of the total 422 participants recruited, 98 bus drivers reported, giving an overall crash prevalence of 23.2%. Among the crashed group, 72 drivers (12.1%) were involved in more than one crash within the past 3 years (2014-2017). Multivariate analysis showed excessive speed [AOR 6.98 95% CI; 3.7-12.8], drinking alcohol during driving hours [AOR 10.15, 95% CI; 4.7-21.8], phone distraction (AOR=6.48, 95% CI; 3.8-10.8], passenger distraction [AOR 8.77, 95% CI; 4.6-16.2], violating road traffic rules [AOR=2.13, 95% CI; 1.2-3.5] and fatigue [AOR 0.17, 95 & CI; 0.05-.053] as factors that are significantly associated with road traffic crash among bus drivers within the past 3 years (2014-2017). Conclusion: Almost a quarter (23.2%) of bus drivers have a history of road traffic crash within the past 3 years. Many factors have been found to be associated with road traffic crash occurrence among these drivers and these calls for urgent sensitization campaigns, amelioration of road conditions and proper law enforcement on road safety issues.

Introduction: Obesity is a serious health problem and according to a 2019 survey, 60.3% and 26.8% of Brazilians are living with excess weight and obesity, respectively. The present study aimed to assess anthropometric and body composition changes associated with behaviour change in individuals living with excess weight participating in a telenutrition education programme. Methods: Longitudinal, retrospective study that assessed the impact of an intervention conducted from August 2017 to November 2019. The 6-month programme included seven online consultations and three face-to-face consultations (baseline; 3 months and 6 months). Dietary, anthropometric and body composition (using bioelectrical analysis) assessments were performed at the face-to-face consultations. Patients received nutritional advice and were remotely managed by video conference with the use of motivational and educational tools encouraging lifestyle and eating behaviour changes. Results: The study sample comprised 93 adults and elderly patients living with excess weight (61 female and 32 male) who consented to participate in the study. Age ranged from 23 to 73 years (mean 45.7±11.8 years). The results indicated a significant improvement in weight loss, BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio and body fat at the end of the study in comparison with baseline values. There was a significant association between weight loss and eating behaviour changes, including decreased consumption of sugar, sweets and industrialized foods and an improved relationship with food. Conclusions: The telenutrition programme was associated with weight loss and improvement in anthropometric indices and body composition. Besides, it encouraged eating behavior changes that contributed to a better dietary quality.

Background: The most common symptoms being reported are fever, fatigue, dry cough, and other upper respiratory symptoms which are considered less common symptoms. Given that there is still a dire need to define a proper relationship between these risks and COVID-19; we also assessed the factors associated with the manifestations of these signs and symptoms. Methodology: It’s an observational descriptive cross-sectional study based on a questionnaire sent to the participants via Whatsapp application focusing on COVID-19 related information between the end of 2020 and November 2021. Results: The most reported symptoms during COVID-19 infection were exhaustion (65.6%), fever and losing the sense of smell (57.7% each), pains/aches and losing the sense of taste (55.7% and 55.5%). Conclusion: The severity of the novel coronavirus ranges from mild symptoms (majority of cases) to severe respiratory tract infection. The most susceptible population involves the elderly and individuals with underlying medical conditions, especially obesity and diabetes. Symptoms in COVID-19 patients were mainly associated with presence of comorbidities, BMI, sex, and older age.
