After the pandemic, things are very different from how they were before the COVID-19 outbreak. Companies that had been performing well before the epidemic also saw their performance suffer during the COVID-19 era, especially those in the transportation industry due to the lockdown. The authors behind this paper hopes to learn more about and gain a better understanding of organizations by delving into their histories, structures, goals, challenges, solutions, and foci. To address and investigate the financial performance of logistic companies, the paper utilized a quantitative methodology. Annual audited financial statement of three logistic companies from 2013 to 2022. These include FeDex, DHL and XPO. The financial health of the selected companies is evaluated with the aforementioned criteria. While these businesses show stability, the analysis suggests that the market in which they operate is highly volatile. Increases in freight costs, tax increases, inflation, and other macroeconomic factors all contribute to this uncertainty, but well-planned improvements and emergency events also play a role. The research looked at the goals so that the audience could rest assured that the analysis was thorough and considered every angle of the organization. It's generally agreed that a company's success is measured by more than its bottom line. This research provides a thorough evaluation to aid business owners in identifying the features that set apart firms in terms of their potential for growth.

Authors: Nguyen Hang Thi , Thanh Tung Le , Van Viet Tran , Thu Huong Truong Thi , Van Hung Pham
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The goal of this study was to assess the effect of an educational intervention on breast self-examination (BES) behavior based on a Health Belief Model among Vietnamese women living in some rural areas of Hai Duong province.

Methodology: A random control trial study was conducted in two rural communes in Hai Duong province, Vietnam. Among 204 women participating in the study, they were allocated randomly into an experimental group (n=99) and a control group (n=105). An educational intervention was developed based on the Health Belief Model. An improving breast self-examination behavior of participants was assessed through doing BSE or not, frequency of BSE, and how to perform BSE.

Findings: At baseline, there were no differences between the two groups about general characteristics and breast self-examination percentage.  After 3 months of the intervention, breast self-examination behavior including the rate of patients doing BSE, frequency of BSE, and performing BSE with good results in the intervention group were higher than those of the control group. (p<0.05).

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: Research results indicated that an educational program based on the Health Belief Model can improve breast self-examination behavior among rural women. Therefore, the educational intervention program based on the Health Belief Model should be expanded to women living in other rural areas of Vietnam.

Published: February 2024

Esse artigo tem como objetivo analisar o discurso conservador em relação as cruzadas antigênero. Partimos da concepção de que esse é um fenômeno global com especificidades locais que coloca em disputa conceitos como ordem de gênero e governabilidades. As tensões criadas nas disputas ideológicas antigênero, apresentam pautas anti-trans como um dos discursos principais. Através de uma historiografia densa e de reportagens publicadas em jornais, descrevemos o contexto político atual na proposta de apresentar a construção de um imaginário social e político contemporâneo em que a linguagem, corpo, gênero e sexualidade são categorias em disputa.
Entre o feitiço e oração na fronteira da ordem: “terríveis mulheres” amazônicas?
Authors: Santos Majin Bootte Silva dos , Silva Katiane
Published: February 2024

As principais interlocutoras deste artigo são uma “curadora” e uma “puxadeira” localizadas em uma comunidade rural quilombola do município de Santarém (PA). Elas se mantêm distantes dos outros comunitários — que negativam e classificam suas práticas de cura como “macumbaria”. Fizemos uma análise situacional comparando essa categoria local com a de feitiçaria, pela qual mulheres são condenadas historicamente. Esse mecanismo limita as práticas de cura e o conhecimento botânico dessas amefricanas amazônicas. Assim, o racismo genderizado determina a notoriedade do saber, portanto, a herança das próximas gerações.

Nesse artigo, partilhamos reflexões suscitadas a partir do exercício prévio de cartografia de experiências teórico-metodológicas que compreendessem a criança como um sujeito de direitos, e, na contramão disso, do mapeamento da produção de um território que tem violado direitos por meio de práticas medicalizantes da infância. Para isso, realizamos um estudo cartográfico – orientado pela Psicologia Escolar e Educacional em uma perspectiva crítica –, com base no levantamento de bibliografia acadêmica publicadas na Scientific Electronic Library Online – SciELO Brasil, com os descritores medicalização e educação, no período compreendido entre 2010 e 2020; e a leitura de três dossiês sobre a medicalização no Brasil, publicados nas revistas Entreideias, Nuances e Práxis Educacional. Por meio de leituras e registros, longe de tecer um estado da arte, nos limitamos a construir pistas para compor linhas de conexão e inteligibilidade do fenômeno estudado. Nesse processo, como pistas cartográficas, delineamos: Pista 1: A medicalização nega as desigualdades sociais; Pista 2: A medicalização viola direitos e restringe a liberdade da criança; Pista 3: A medicalização produz sofrimento e exclusão da criança; e Pista 4: Em defesa da vida e por uma racionalidade não medicalizante. Esperamos, com a análise proposta, contribuir para a compreensão crítica da medicalização da educação, somando com as lutas pela garantia dos direitos das infâncias.

Authors: Nguyen Tuan Anh
Published: February 2024

This paper introduces a new application of the Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) method within the realm of structural assessment, deviating from its conventional use in geology. The study presents an innovative inversion model that incorporates the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, representing a notable leap in seamlessly integrating ERI into structural analysis. Rigorous validation of the inversion methodology is conducted through extensive benchmarking against simulated reference data, focusing on 1D and 2D resistivity distributions within timber specimens. By utilizing known resistivity fields, the paper quantitatively validates the accuracy of reconstructed models obtained through numerical simulations. Notably, both longitudinal and transverse surveys exhibit exceptional outcomes, showcasing a high correlation with the actual resistivity profiles, achieved within a concise 10-13 iterations. This meticulous validation process conclusively underscores the effectiveness and precision of the proposed inversion approach. Beyond its scientific contribution, this research expands the conventional boundaries of ERI application and establishes it as an invaluable tool for structural monitoring.

Authors: Li Wei , Chakraborty Megha , Köhler Jonas , Quinteros-Cartaya Claudia , Rümpker Georg , Srivastava Nishtha
Published: February 2024

Abstract. Seismic phase picking and magnitude estimation are fundamental aspects of earthquake monitoring and seismic event analysis. Accurate phase picking allows for precise characterization of seismic wave arrivals, contributing to a better understanding of earthquake events. Likewise, accurate magnitude estimation provides crucial information about an earthquake's size and potential impact. Together, these components enhance our ability to monitor seismic activity effectively. In this study, we explore the application of deep-learning techniques for earthquake detection and magnitude estimation using continuous seismic recordings. Our approach introduces DynaPicker, which leverages dynamic convolutional neural networks to detect seismic body-wave phases in continuous seismic data. We demonstrate the effectiveness of DynaPicker using various open-source seismic datasets, including both window-format and continuous recordings. We evaluate its performance in seismic phase identification and arrival-time picking, as well as its robustness in classifying seismic phases using low-magnitude seismic data in the presence of noise. Furthermore, we integrate the phase arrival-time information into a previously published deep-learning model for magnitude estimation. We apply this workflow to continuous recordings of aftershock sequences following the Turkey earthquake. The results of this case study showcase the reliability of our approach in earthquake detection, phase picking, and magnitude estimation, contributing valuable insights to seismic event analysis.

Authors: B.O. Akingbade , M.E. Bassey
Published: February 2024

The output of democratic process depends on the nature, character and pattern of administrative leadership of the democratic leader piloting the affairs of the state. Since independence, Nigeria has witnessed different administrations or regimes with concomitant implications on democratic governance. Despite abundant human and natural resources in the country, the realization of the dividends of democracy are not being enjoyed by the citizens because of political leaders controlling state affairs. This study examines the challenges of Buhari's administration and its implication on democratic governance in Nigeria between 2015-2023. The study adopted descriptive and documentary research methods and relied majorly on secondary data and elite theory was adopted as the theoretical orientation of the study. The study revealed that the major challenges of leadership in Nigeria under the Buhari's administration are corruption, non-adherence to the rule of law and banditry related issues which serves as impediments to democratic governance in Nigeria. The study, however, recommends that the government should set up independent corrupt agencies with personalities who have integrity to run it, so that the issues of corruption will be ameliorated. Government should also allow the judiciary to independently carry out their judicial function without any political interference and further allow the law to take its course at every set time without violating the principle of rule of law as propounded by Albert Venn Dicey. Government should strategize effectively using the security apparatus of the state to create an enabling environment that is secure for all to stay and not having fear that the security of the populace is not guaranteed because of inability to stop the ongoing and lingering banditry issue of grave security concern to Nigeria and to the international community at large. The study concluded that there is need to have a strong agency comprising of individual that has integrity, the professionalism of conduct of lawyers and purging of the legal system who has compromise to subvert the justice system and strong strategic provision of effective security apparatus will help to mitigate this issues that has devoid the people to believe that they are not enjoying the benefit of democratic system.

The variety of creatures that are endemic or local to a certain area and that reside there is referred to as faunal diversity. It includes platyhelminths, odonatan, reptiles (predators), hymenopteran, lepidopteran (pollinators), molluscan, avifauna and mammals. An assessment of animal variety explains the food, habitat, ecology, and population of the various species. A survey was carried out to assess the condition of the faunal diversity at Anna University in Chennai. The study's objectives were to list and define the many animal groups belongs to families, genera, and species that inhabit the region, along with information on their habitats and distribution. A total of 85 species, discovered during the course of a year, from May 2023 to November 2023, are included in the study. There were 85 species in 7 phyla. With 55 species, or 64.71% of all species, the Arthropodan has the largest species abundance of any other group. Only one of the 85 species of Platyhelminthes, the hammer-headed worm (Diversibipalium), was found in the vicinity of the university green garden between September and November of 2023 (Vijayan et al., 2023). The observational study found that the area's green spaces, diversity of flora, and water features contributed to its importance as a habitat for a range of animal species. In order to promote biodiversity conservation efforts and offer habitat for animal species, the study highlights the importance of maintaining or growing green spaces at educational institutions.

Authors:   Aquatic Science and Toxicology, Department of Biology, College of Natural and Computational Sciences, Wolaita Sodo University, Ethiopia, Ram Pattnaik B. Sai
Published: February 2024

The most diverse among all the eco-biosphere entities is the aquatic ecosystem. With their dynamic biodiversity, energy cycles, prey-predator interactions and seasonal patterns aquatic ecosystems are unique in the nature. They are the most influenced of all the others due to their gradual sensitivity by a small change in the climatic condition. The sensitivity can be linked with their response towards temperature and light influencing several abiotic parameters including water, rainfall, pH, dissolved oxygen. The behavior and ecology of biotic components largely depend upon these abiotic parameters; a slight change in which can alter the community dynamics, species composition and diversity of the entire system. Compared to natural causes of climate change, anthropogenic activities are more influential and long standing. Excess use of fossil fuels, use of plastic, confluence of industrial gases and effluents, deforestation are few such examples for the detioriating situation. Both lentic, and lotic among fresh water, the marine with all its components, the estuarine diversity and distribution of species are facing challenges to cope up large-scale stress due to convergence of landmass, destruction of forests including mangroves, over usage of pesticides and fertilizers, exploitation of aquatic products including fish and corals. Not only the aquatic ecology and species in but also the human population and the community which largely depends upon them, disturbed leading to poverty, unemployment, population displacement and conflicts for water and cultivation land. Africa with all its floral and faunal biodiversity, extended lakes with vivid climatic zones is not away from the impacts of climate change. Africa is facing many challenges despite all efforts although a less-contributor of greenhouse gases. To understand all these aspects at the global level especially in Africa, this review paper is prepared accumulating from various sources to apprehend the causes, dimensions and challenges faced by various aquatic ecosystems because of climate change.

Authors: Schwartz, Joel L
Published: February 2024

Introduction: We hypothesize gender, race in Chicago’s community areas (CAs) associated significantly with mood and depressive-behavior disorders, drug related hospitalizations (MDD/DRH) and oral health problems and need for oral surgery services. Methods: We reviewed 18,846 dental records (AxiUm) sorted by zip codes associated with CAs. “Med Alerts” and 185 (14 types) neurotropic medications identified MDD/DRH. Chicago’s Health Atlas 2.0, 77 CAs provided age-adjusted prevalence rates for 29 MDD/DRH related variables, with ORs at 95% confidence limit. Linear regression and relative risk (RR) predicted racial and gender associations for MDD/DRH and opioid prescriptions sites (DEA-2017+ARCOS database). We also tested significance at 95% CI for residents from 16 CAs for oral health association with high MDD/DRH probability by counting decay, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT), bleed on touch (BT), periodontal clinical attachment loss and use of oral surgery services. Results: CAs significantly associated to MDD/DRH variables. MDD/DRH and opioid use were also significantly associated to non-Hispanic Black (NHB) > other persons. NHB from specific geographic CAs showed ANOVA’s significant probability with OR (at 95% CI) and RRs for behavioral disorder indicators. Significantly (p<0.0001) oral health problems and need for oral surgery service consulting associated with medication users and MDD/DRH subjects identified by gender (F>M) and race/ethnicity (NHB>other). Conclusion: Limitations included self-reporting and reliance on dental college populations although we showed statistically significant odds ratios and relative risk for MDD/DRH related to race and gender’s oral health issues and oral surgery needs to suggest a broader role.

Tuberkulosis adalah suatu penyakit menular langsung yang disebabkan oleh kuman Mycobacterium tuberculosis, penyakit ini sebagian besar menyerang pada bagian Paru. Tuberkulosis saat ini menjadi perhatian global dan perlu diwaspadai, karena ialah    salah satu dari penyebabnya terjadinya kematian yang ada di dunia ini Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengetahui gambaran implementasi program penanggulangan TB paru di Puskesmas Besulutu Kecamatan Besulutu  Kabupaten Konawe. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Puskesmas Besulutu Kecamatan Besulutu Kabupaten Konawe. Alasan pemilihan lokasi karena berdasarkan Profil Kesehatan Kabupaten Konawe diketahui bahwa angka kesembuhan TB Paru yang telah dicapai Puskesmas Besulutu masih tergolong rendah yaitu sebesar 65%, sedangkan target angka kesembuhan secara nasional sebesar 85%. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan November tahun 2023 sampai selesai. Hasil penelitan menunjukkan bahwa Program penanggulangan TB paru dengan 5 komponen strategi DOTS di Puskesmas Besulutu belum maksimal, dalam penatalaksanaannya masih belum sesuai dengan strategi DOTS (Directly Observed Treatmen, Short-course). Angka kesembuhan kasus TB Paru sangat minim. Hal ini disebabkan karena penemuan kasus yang dilakukan selama ini hanya menunggu penderita datang ke puskesmas, bukan dengan melakukan penemuan kasus secara aktif ke masyarakat.

The demand for fine aggregate (Natural River sand, NRS) as one of the major constituents in making concrete and masonry blocks increases due to the rapid increase in building construction. This has triggered its scarcity making it an expensive building material. However, quarry dust (QD) has been proven to be abundant in the quarry industry after rock crushing. This experimental study aims at investigating the effect of QD as partial replacement of NRS in steel fiber reinforced concrete. 40%, 50%, and 60% NRS replacement with QD were considered in this study. The fiber content in the mix was 1.5% by the weight of concrete, with a maximum coarse aggregate size of 20mm. The produced concrete cubes targeted 30N/mm2 final strength were examined at curing ages of 7, 14, and 28 days at room temperature. Concrete density and compressive strength were determined for the produced concrete in accordance with British Standards. The laboratory test results of the concrete density and compressive strength ranged from 2533Kg/m3 to 2555Kg/m3, and 38.46N/mm2 to 46.43N/mm2 respectively. The obtained results showed that, maximum compressive strength of 46.43N/mm2 was achieved at 40% replacement. The research outcome indicates the viability of quarry dust as an alternative to natural river sand.
