Quality and Required Quantities of Water for Watering Donkeys
Authors: Milivoje Urošević , Radomir Mandić , Danka Štastna
Published: September 2024

Water is one of the most crucial factors for enabling the normal functioning of physiological and biochemical processes in the body. An animal's body contains 40-75% water, depending on its age. The domestic donkey originates from the arid, dry regions of Eastern Africa. Such conditions do not allow for easy daily access to water sources. Except for pregnant females and mothers with young foals, other categories of donkeys do not go to drink water every day if the water sources are far away. Due to their high water needs, females with foals and pregnant donkeys go to water sources daily. A donkey can drink up to 25 liters of water in one session. In this way, they create water reserves and do not have to travel to distant water sources every day. For donkeys to drink water, it must be fresh and organoleptically clean. They will remain thirsty and refuse to drink stagnant or dirty water. A donkey needs 8-10 liters of water per 100 kg of body weight every day.
The European Union toward a green economy: Current situation and perspective in the use of renewables for electricity generation
Authors: Pedraza Jorge Morales
Published: September 2024

The European Union (EU) is making significant progress in its energy transition strategy, positioning itself as a global leader. The use of renewable energy sources for electricity generation is increasing yearly. In 2012, the share of renewable electricity in gross electricity consumption in the EU was 24.1%. This figure rose to 38% in 2020, overtaking fossil-fired generation for the first time, which fell to 37%. In 2021, the EU produced 4032.5 TWh using all energy sources. Renewable energies generated 1670.4 TWh or 41.4% of the total. Conventional and nuclear energy sources produced the remaining 58.6%. In the coming years, conventional energy sources are expected to generate less electricity than renewable and nuclear energy sources. In the coming years, solar and wind energy will remain the two main renewable energy sources for electricity generation in the EU. The EU’s energy transition is a concern and a key apprehension for the European Commission (EC), which strives to ensure sustainable, secure, and reasonable energy prices in the coming years. In February 2015, the EC set out its energy strategy, focusing on five key areas: Energy security, solidarity, and trust; a fully integrated European energy market; Energy efficiency contributing to moderation of demand; decarbonizing the economy; research, innovation, and competitiveness.

Authors: Aqsa Noor  , Hira Liaqat
Published: September 2024

The present study aimed to ascertain the relationship among family functioning, cognitive autonomy and psychological adjustment in adolescents. Correlational research design was used in the study. It was hypothesized that there would likely to be a relationship among family functioning, cognitive autonomy and psychological adjustment and that family functioning and cognitive autonomy would predict psychological adjustment in adolescents. It was also hypothesized that cognitive autonomy would likely to moderate relationship between family functioning and psychological adjustment in adolescents. The study sample consisted of 296 participants with an age range of 14-18 years, mean age of 17.29 including 159 males and 137 females, recruited by using convenient sampling strategy. Online data collection was carried out via Google forms by reaching out to the teachers of public and private institutions. The General Functioning subscale of Family Assessment Device, the Cognitive Autonomy and Self-evaluation inventory, and the Personality Assessment Questionnaire were used to determine family functioning, cognitive autonomy, and psychological adjustment, respectively, in adolescents. Pearson Product Moment Correlation, Hierarchical Regression, and Hayes Process Model were used to analyze the data. Results revealed a significant positive relationship among family functioning, cognitive autonomy and psychological adjustment. Further findings revealed that family functioning was a significant predictor of psychological adjustment in adolescents, however, cognitive autonomy was not found as a moderator in the current study. The findings will provide insight about the parents related to adjustment issues of adolescents and mental health professionals to carry out programs related to effective parenting and healthy family functioning.
DISCOVERY OF NOVEL METAL-THIOSEMICARBAZONE COMPLEXES USING IN SILICO MODELS IN ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Huynh Ngoc Chau  , Cu Huy Duc  , Nguyen Minh Quang
Published: September 2024

Twenty novel metal-thiosemicarbazone complexes were discovered by in silico techniques. The stability constants (logb12) of complexes were also predicted by using the quantitative structure and property relationships (QSPR) models. The models were created using the multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) approaches. The structure characteristics of complexes consist of molecular and quantum properties. The published literature is used to collect the stability constants with experimental parameters. The best model, MLR2-QSPR (k = 4), consisted of molecular descriptors such as S6, Dipole, xv1, and N’4. Statistical metrics such as R2train = 0.913, Q2LOO = 0.903, and SE = 0.408 were used to validate the quality of this MLR-QSPR. The statistical data for the ANN4-QSPR model I(4)-HL(10)-O(1) were also reported: R2train = 0.972, Q2test = 0.975, and R2CV = 0.985. In addition, the work used the results of variables from the QSPR models for developing new thiosemicarbazone ligands and based-ligand complexes. As a result, novel metal-thiosemicarbazone complexes were newly outlined and predicted the stability constants by two developed QSPR models. The results obtained from models can be applied to develop novel chemicals that can be administrated for use in analytical chemistry and environmental evaluation monitoring.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: With population aging, life expectancy increases, as well as comorbidities and chronic diseases resulting from the aging process. However, there are progressive changes in the loss of muscle mass, strength and physical performance, thus contributing to the development of sarcopenia. Objective: to contextualize through scientific discussions available on digital platforms about strength training applied to elderly patients with sarcopenia. Literature review: narrative review through active search for scientific articles in the LILACS, SciELO and MEDLINE databases, using the descriptors “resistance training”, “sarcopenia”, “elderly”, “physiotherapy” in the 5-year time range in English and Portuguese . Results and Discussion The 13 pertinent scientific articles were characterized through 03 steps, and demonstrated that the physiotherapist's clinical assessment methods were effective for early identification of sarcopenia in the elderly, and that strength training protocols with moderate to high intensity showed- if positive for applicability within the limitations of each individual, providing autonomy and quality of life for this select group. Conclusion: In view of the proposed findings and discussions, it was observed that the resistance training applied by the physiotherapist showed an increase in muscle strength, stabilization and reduction of the harmful effects of sarcopenia in the elderly.
Transformational leadership and job satisfaction: The mediating effects of perceptions of politics and market orientation in the Japanese context
Authors: Kimura T.
Published: September 2024

This paper investigates the causal relationship among transformational leadership, perceptions of organizational politics, market orientation, and work-related outcome. In this study, we assumed that organization-level perceptions of organizational politics and market orientation mediate the relationship between top management's transformational leadership and employees' work-related outcomes and that perceptions of organizational politics diminish market orientation. Data were collected from a sample of 200 employees working in Japanese companies. To test the hypothesized correlations, we used structural equation modelling using AMOS 16.0. As we hypothesized, both perceptions of politics and market orientation mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and employees' job satisfaction. However, contrary to our expectation, perceptions of organizational politics were not significantly correlated with market orientation. This study is the first empirical research of organizational politics using a Japanese sample. In future studies, we should resolve methodological limitations of this study and develop theoretical frameworks that reflect cultural difference among countries.
Measuring burnout and work engagement: Factor structure, invariance, and latent mean differences across Greece and the Netherlands
Authors: Xanthopoulou D. , Bakker A.B. , Kantas A. , Demerouti E.
Published: September 2024

This study examines the factor structure and invariance of the instruments measuring burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory - General Survey / MBI-GS) and work engagement (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale / UWES) in a sample of Dutch (N = 162) and Greek (N = 206) employees. Confirmatory factor analyses in both samples supported the superiority of the proposed three-factor structure of both the MBI-GS (exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy) and the UWES (vigor, dedication, and absorption). Alternative two-factor and one-factor models did not show a better fit to the data. In addition, results of multigroup analyses partly supported the invariance of the three-factor model of the MBI-GS, and fully supported the invariance of the three-factor model of the UWES across the two national samples. These results suggest that the MBI-GS and the UWES are not only valid instruments for testing burnout and engagement but also allow comparisons across countries.
Remanufacturing lot-sizing under alternative perceptions of returned units' quality
Authors: Zikopoulos C.
Published: September 2024

One of the critical parameters in reverse supply chain management is the increased variability of the quality condition of used, returned products. The volatile nature of returns' quality often dictates the establishment of quality assessment procedures and the development of technologies that facilitate the fast, accurate and inexpensive classification of returns. The appropriate degree in which a firm has to allocate resources for acquiring information on the quality of returned units, naturally, depends on the anticipated improvement of recovery activities' profitability. Therefore, the quantification of the savings associated with confronting or resolving quality uncertainty is a necessary input during the determination of the proper recovery procedures' configuration. In the current paper, we study a remanufacturing system in a multi-period setting in which returns' quality information is exploited during remanufacturing planning. However, in the decision-making process, certain aspects of the problem examined, such as the quantification of shortage cost, are overlooked or simplified. The objective is to examine the advisability of acquiring advanced quality information in order to be used during sub-optimal decision-making processes, in comparison with alternative policies which do not take explicitly into account returns' quality information. Moreover, through an extensive numerical analysis we examine the implications of alternative considerations regarding returned units' quality on remanufacturing planning, lead-time and service-levels and evaluate their impact on the overall system operational cost.
Performance evaluation of a merge supply system with a distribution centre, two reliable suppliers, one buffer and Erlang lead times
Authors: Vidalis M. , Koukoumialos S. , Ntio D. , Varlas G.
Published: September 2024

In this work a two echelon merge supply chain is examined. Specifically, two non identical reliable suppliers feed a distribution centre with a shared buffer. The first echelon consists of the distribution centre and the shared buffer, the second echelon includes two non identical reliable suppliers. There is an unlimited supply of materials to suppliers and an unlimited capacity shipping area after the distribution centre. In other words, suppliers are never starved, and the distribution centre is never blocked. The materials are processed by suppliers with rates following the Erlang distribution. The distribution centre has a reliable machine that pushes material with service times following the Erlang distribution. Blocking appears when one or more suppliers finish their process and try to feed the buffer that is full. The supply network is modelled as a continuous time Markov process with discrete states. The structures of the transition matrices of those systems are explored and a computational algorithm is developed. Our aim is to generate stationary distributions for different values of system's parameters so as the various measures of the system can be estimated. Finally, for the mathematical programming model and the rest of the calculations the Matlab software is used.
Does Board Diversity Really Matter? Gender does not, but citizenship does
Authors: Rose C. , Munch-Madsen P. , Funch M.
Published: September 2024

We study the impact of female board representation as well as citizenship on corporate performance based on a sample of the largest listed firms in the Nordic countries as well as Germany. We also seek to determine the variation of board structures using factor analysis. We find no support for any performance impact relating to female board representation. However, we find an impact of board citizenship on performance showing that board members with a background from common law have a significant positive influence on corporate performance measured as ROA, ROE and ROCE. Consistent with other studies we also document that large boards impact corporate performance negatively. Moreover we also show that data set on boards can be explained by four underlying factors. This article adds insight to board determinants of corporate performance as well as the classification of board variation. Specifically, our results support the view that increasing the proportion of board members from common law countries would be beneficial for the largest German and Nordic listed companies.
The retail store managers' role: Evidence from Greece
Authors: Zairis A.
Published: September 2024

Despite the fact that the retail manager's role is determinant for a store's performance, and there is abundant wisdom about how to be an outstanding manager or what are the characteristics of a successful retail manager, there is no detailed description about the store managers' role or their actual work. Furthermore, the continuous developments in the retail sector have established different roles and created higher levels of responsibility for store managers. The aim of the present paper is to empirically investigate the role of retail store managers in Greece and identify any potential differences in terms of personal characteristics, tasks and various job-related factors. For the purposes of this research a survey was conducted focusing on the sectors of apparel/footwear and food, in an attempt to explore any potential differences within the two divisions. The results revealed the profile of the Greek store managers (male, over the age of 40, with a secondary level of education and more than five years of work experience) and their multi-factor role. The three major roles that they perform were labeled as: sales oriented, supervisor, and customer experience oriented. The research also indicated that the two most popular sub-sectors in the Greek retail industry employ different profile managers. The issues of work experience, job satisfaction and security were also analysed.

Published: September 2024

Branding Activities are expensive. the expenses on branding activities bore fruits over a long period of time. Fundamentally it is branding that gives an introduction to a company or product. Bjerre, Heding, and Knudtzen (2008) have identified seven approaches to branding namely (i) Identity, (ii) Economic (iii) Personality (iv) Consumer based (v) Community approach (vi) Relational and (vii) Cultural. Sampat (2023) highlighted that India has 13.5 to 15.7 million women-led startups. Further women hold 20.37% ownership in the MSME sector in India. The data highlights the value of women entrepreneurs and their growing importance in the creation of innovation, growth, and societal development. Branding is an abstract concept that helps in creating an identity of a company and brand. The users face a lot of difficulty in analysis and expectations about the performance of a brand. Women entrepreneurs face a multitude of challenges like gender bias and societal stereotypes in addition to prevalent problems like limited funding, underrepresentation, and less access to benefit programs. The present paper makes an attempt to evaluate consumers’ responses toward branding practices of companies led by female entrepreneurs and Brand associations related to the companies of female entrepreneurs.
Proportional Component Order Network Connectivity
Authors: Hanson Nicholas , Shank Nathan , Armbruster Ashley , Di Jiequi
Published: September 2024

We introduce a new measure of network reliability related to the order of the largest component. This new connectivity measure considers a network to be operational if there is a component or order at least some fixed proportion, r, of the original order. Thus, the network is in a failure state if all components are sufficiently small. In this paper, we consider the parameters with vertex deletions as well as edge deletions for particular graph classes. We also find the minimum values of the parameter for graphs with a fixed size and order. We end with a discussion and some conjectures for the maximum value of the parameter for graphs with a fixed size and order.

Authors: Drinić Davor , Koprivanac Danijel , Jakić Josip , Petrović Igor
Published: September 2024

An important variable in performing precise measurements is the power source. This paper shows the influence of low power on the measuring accuracy of the operation of the Raspberry Pi device and its sensor, and whether the obtained measurement uncertainties can be used for the measurements' relevance. To achieve the measurement result, the sensor and the device have a connection to a source with a variable power source that can simulate the desired voltage drop on the converter or a decrease in battery capacity simulation. Raspberry Pi model 3 and Sunfounder DS18b20 heat sensor have been used in the practical part of the work. The operating speed of the Raspberry device has been decreased by reducing the voltage, and the sensor provides temperature reading curves under constant conditions. In the practical part of the work, measurements have been repeated at constant different temperatures. For the relevance of the measurement, the measurement cycle has been performed in a short time interval, which applies the measure of repeatability and reproducibility. The measured results have been presented in tables that we use for mathematical representation measurement uncertainties.

Impact of Exchange Rate on the CSE All Share Price Index in Bangladesh: A Vector Error Correction Model-Based Study
Authors: Chowdhury Tasnim Uddin
Published: September 2024

This study aims to investigate the intricate relationship between exchange rate fluctuations and the CSE All Share Price Index (CASPI) in the context of Bangladesh. Employing a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) as the analytical framework, we delve into the dynamic interactions between these two key economic indicators. Our research draws upon a comprehensive dataset spanning an extended period, allowing for a thorough examination of the short-term and long-term dynamics. The study result shows the daily CSE All Share Price Index and daily foreign currency exchange rate to BDT data is non-stationary, but the 1st difference values are stationary for testing the long run and short run relationship. The study observed that there is long run as well as also short run relationship between the daily CSE All Share Price Index with daily foreign currency exchange rate to BDT. Surprisingly, we observe no positive significant effect of the CSE All Share Price Index on foreign currency exchange rates. These findings provide valuable insights into the intricate interplay between macroeconomic variables and financial markets, with practical implications for risk management, investment decisions, and policy formulation, particularly within the context of Bangladesh’s rapidly evolving financial landscape.

Published: September 2024

This research is mainly concerned about the methods set by the Quran for preserving the human breeding, which is regarded the main pillar not only for the future survival of the humankind, but also for assuring its permanence and continuity. Taking this into consideration, the Quran has addressed this issue by setting solid preventive tools that ensure the continuity and prosperity of the human offspring in a normal manner. The objective of the research is to shed light on the importance of protecting the human offspring in the Quran, since neglecting its importance could lead to the corruption of the whole society and its members. The research attempts also to tackle the various preventive tools that the Quran has adopted for protecting the normal continuity and prosperity of the human offspring. The research proposes to study the Quranic verses that address the protection of the human offspring and the various preventive tools that should be adopted, along with the accredited analysis and statements of purpose of the Quranic verses, with reference to the approved sources of interpretation. Apart of the findings are that the Quran has set two main methods for protecting the human offspring, that is; the preventive tools for protecting the amount of birth control, and the preventive tools for maintaining the quality of birth control. The preventive tools for protecting the amount of birth control include the forbidding of being monastic, the prohibiting of killing children for fear of poverty, and the forbidding of falling into immorality, either outwardly or inwardly. They also include the establishment of prayer, giving charity, reciting Dhikr (remembrance) and asking of forgiveness.

Despite advances in therapeutic approaches, lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. To understand the molecular programs underlying lung cancer initiation and maintenance, we focused on stem cell programs that are normally extinguished with differentiation but can be reactivated during oncogenesis. Here we have used extensive genetic modeling and patient derived xenografts to identify a dual role for Msi2: as a signal that acts initially to sensitize cells to transformation, and subsequently to drive tumor propagation. Using Msi reporter mice, we found that Msi2-expressing cells were marked by a pro-oncogenic landscape and a preferential ability to respond to Ras and p53 mutations. Consistent with this, genetic deletion of Msi2 in an autochthonous Ras/p53 driven lung cancer model resulted in a marked reduction of tumor burden, delayed progression, and a doubling of median survival. Additionally, this dependency was conserved in human disease as inhibition of Msi2 impaired tumor growth in patient-derived xenografts. Mechanistically, Msi2 triggered a broad range of pathways critical for tumor growth, including several novel effectors of lung adenocarcinoma. Collectively, these findings reveal a critical role for Msi2 in aggressive lung adenocarcinoma, lend new insight into the biology of this disease, and identify potential new therapeutic targets.

Reactive astrocytes play critical roles in the occurrence of various neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Activation of astrocytes is often accompanied by a glycolysis-dominant metabolic switch. However, the role and molecular mechanism of metabolic reprogramming in activation of astrocytes have not been clarified. Here, we found that PKM2, a rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis, displayed nuclear translocation in astrocytes of EAE (experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis) mice, an animal model of multiple sclerosis. Prevention of PKM2 nuclear import by DASA-58 significantly reduced the activation of mice primary astrocytes, which was observed by decreased proliferation, glycolysis and secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Most importantly, we identified the ubiquitination-mediated regulation of PKM2 nuclear import by ubiquitin ligase TRIM21. TRIM21 interacted with PKM2, promoted its nuclear translocation and stimulated its nuclear activity to phosphorylate STAT3, NF-κB and interact with c-myc. Further single-cell RNA sequencing and immunofluorescence staining demonstrated that TRIM21 expression was upregulated in astrocytes of EAE. TRIM21 overexpressing in mice primary astrocytes enhanced PKM2-dependent glycolysis and proliferation, which could be reversed by DASA-58. Moreover, intracerebroventricular injection of a lentiviral vector to knockdown TRIM21 in astrocytes or intraperitoneal injection of TEPP-46, which inhibit the nuclear translocation of PKM2, effectively decreased disease severity, CNS inflammation and demyelination in EAE. Collectively, our study provides novel insights into the pathological function of nuclear glycolytic enzyme PKM2 and ubiquitination-mediated regulatory mechanism that are involved in astrocyte activation. Targeting this axis may be a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of astrocyte-involved neurological disease.

Excessive consumption of sucrose, in the form of sugar-sweetened beverages, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction‐associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and other related metabolic syndromes. The c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway plays a crucial role in response to dietary stressors, and it was demonstrated that the inhibition of the JNK pathway could potentially be used in the treatment of MAFLD. However, the intricate mechanisms underlying these interventions remain incompletely understood given their multifaceted effects across multiple tissues. In this study, we challenged rats with sucrose-sweetened water and investigated the potential effects of JNK inhibition by employing network analysis based on the transcriptome profiling obtained from hepatic and extrahepatic tissues, including visceral white adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and brain. Our data demonstrate that JNK inhibition by JNK-IN-5A effectively reduces the circulating triglyceride accumulation and inflammation in rats subjected to sucrose consumption. Coexpression analysis and genome-scale metabolic modeling reveal that sucrose overconsumption primarily induces transcriptional dysfunction related to fatty acid and oxidative metabolism in the liver and adipose tissues, which are largely rectified after JNK inhibition at a clinically relevant dose. Skeletal muscle exhibited minimal transcriptional changes to sucrose overconsumption but underwent substantial metabolic adaptation following the JNK inhibition. Overall, our data provides novel insights into the molecular basis by which JNK inhibition exerts its metabolic effect in the metabolically active tissues. Furthermore, our findings underpin the critical role of extrahepatic metabolism in the development of diet-induced steatosis, offering valuable guidance for future studies focused on JNK-targeting for effective treatment of MAFLD.
Insights from single-strain and mixed culture experiments on the effects of heatwaves on freshwater flagellates

Published: September 2024

The increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves driven by climate change significantly impact microbial communities in freshwater habitats, particularly eukaryotic microorganisms. Heterotrophic nanoflagellates are important bacterivorous grazers and play a crucial role in aquatic food webs, influencing the morphological and taxonomic structure of bacterial communities. This study investigates the responses of three flagellate taxa to heatwave conditions through single-strain and mixed culture experiments, highlighting the impact of both biotic and abiotic factors on functional redundancy between morphologically similar protist species under thermal stress. Our results indicate that temperature can significantly impact growth and community composition. However, density-dependent factors also had a significant impact. In sum, stabilizing effects due to functional redundancy may be pronounced as long as density-dependent factors play a minor role and can be overshadowed when flagellate abundances increase.
