The reported case presents a 3-week-old newborn diagnosed with late-onset neonatal sepsis (LOS) caused by Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS). The patient was born by the caesarian section, which significantly reduce, but does not rule out, posibility of ascending infection. First symptoms, such as high temperature, vomiting and diarrhea ocuured only in the 21-day of boys life and was a reason for parents to report to a hospital emergency department. These symptoms are not pathognomonic for any disease, that’s why a perinatal and medical interview is especially important. Moreover, the substantive value of medical documentation (not only oral information from the patient’s parents) should also be emphasized. It should be remembered that both the history, physical examination and additional tests are the basis for the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment of the patient. Furthermore, despite correct diagnosis and proper treatment, one should remain vigilant about the possible emergence of sudden complications of the underlying disease.

Thromboembolism is a rare complication in the pediatric population. Most often it concerns hospitalized children who require intensive treatment of diseases that threaten the patient's life. The increasing incidence of thrombosis is due to the successful treatment of critical conditions that once led to mortality, and today we are seeing increasing survival rates. In many of these disease entities, the need for thrombosis prophylaxis or observation for thrombosis alarm symptoms is emphasized. Thrombosis may also occur in a previously healthy child, posing a diagnostic challenge to pediatric care, as thrombosis symptoms may be poorly expressed or masked by other disease entities, and pediatric vigilance may be dormant, as this complication is rare in the pediatric population. Therefore, it is important to be aware that common infections, such as chickenpox, may also be a risk factor. In this article we present cases of two children with chickenpox complicated by thromboembolism – a 6-year-old girl with lower limb thrombosis and a 6-year-old boy with pulmonary embolism.

Kartu Tanda Penduduk Elektronik (KTP-el) merupakan identitas wajib bagi penduduk Indonesia. Penyimpanan pada cip KTP-el yang mana selain digunakan untuk menyimpan gambar potret wajah individu, juga harus dapat menyimpan identitas lain seperti biodata, tanda tangan, dan sidik jari kiri dan kanan. Keterbatasan tersebut mengharuskan gambar potret wajah disimpan pada ukuran low-resolution (LR) sehingga sistem pengenalan wajah tidak optimal. Dalam penelitian ini, kami menggunakan Poznan University of Technology (PUT) Face database yang terdiri atas 200 gambar dari 100 individu. Data tersebut dilakukan proses down sampling menggunakan bicubic interpolation untuk menghasilkan data LR. Kami menginvestigasi penggunaan metode super-resolution (SR) berbasis deep learning, termasuk DFDNet, LapSRN, GFPGAN, Real-ESRGAN, Real-ESRGAN+GFPGAN, dan FaceSPARNet. Hal ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas gambar LR. Evaluasi performa dilakukan dengan menggunakan matriks False Rejection Rate(FRR) pada beberapa tingkatan False Acceptance Rate (FAR). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa beberapa metode SR terutama FaceSPARNet menunjukkan peningkatan performa face recognition hingga 2%. Sedangkan, metode SR yang berbasis GAN (GFPGAN, Real-ESRGAN, Real-ESRGAN+GFPGAN) cenderung meningkatkan false reject rate. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa metode SR dari kategori General Basic CNN-based FSR dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan kinerja face recognition pada gambar LR, seperti pada KTP-el.
Data-Driven Bifurcation Analysis of Experimental Aeroelastic Systems Using Preflutter Measurements
Authors: García Pérez Jesús , Ghadami Amin , Sanches Leonardo , Epureanu Bogdan I. , Michon Guilhem
Published: February 2024

Identification of flutter margins in modern aeroelastic systems is a challenging task due to increased nonlinearities in novel designs, which can result in instabilities occurring below the linear flutter speed. These instabilities pose a significant risk as they may involve multiple stable solutions, such as large-amplitude self-sustained oscillations. The lack of efficient nonlinear bifurcation analysis methods for experimental systems exacerbates the challenges associated with postflutter analysis. This paper presents a data-driven method for predicting flutter instabilities and bifurcation diagrams of an experimental nonlinear 2-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) airfoil. The approach uses measurement data from the preflutter regime to forecast the postflutter dynamics, eliminating the need for computationally expensive models. This study is the first application of the recently introduced data-driven bifurcation forecasting method to experimental aeroelastic systems. The results show that the proposed method is accurate, with predictions matching the measured behavior of the system. The presented study provides valuable insights into the nonlinear stability and dynamics of experimental airfoils and demonstrates the potential for applicability of this approach in the analysis of experimental systems. The findings have significant implications for online monitoring and evaluation of the nonlinear dynamics of aeroelastic systems in the aerospace industry, where safety is of crucial importance.

This study delves into the dynamic landscape of public sentiment surrounding cryptocurrency through a comprehensive social media discourse analysis. Employing the Python Selenium library, data from 1000 public profiles across major platforms—X, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn—were systematically collected. Using advanced text-mining techniques in R Studio, sentiment analysis was conducted with the ‘Syuzhet’ package and word frequency analysis via the ‘tm’ package. The results unveiled a nuanced emotional landscape characterized by dominant sentiments of anticipation and positivity, interwoven with expressions of negativity, notably anger, and loss. Word frequency analysis highlighted vital themes such as established cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum), blockchain technology, and practical and financial aspects of cryptocurrency usage. The study illuminated technical interest, financial speculation, and reactions to regulatory and economic developments. Offering insights crucial for stakeholders, including investors and policymakers, this research contributes to the academic understanding of public sentiment, emphasizing the volatile nature of crypto-currency markets and the transformative potential of blockchain technology and calls for ongoing monitoring of public sentiment to inform policy, investment, and technological innovation in the ever-evolving cryptocurrency ecosystem.
The impact of omega-3 on recurrent seizures in epileptic patients: A case study with evidence-based approaches
Authors: Wijayanthie Nadiyah , Lestari Wiji
Published: February 2024

Background: Epileptogenesis is also associated with increased production of excessive pro-inflammatory cytokines” which shows connection between pro-inflammatory cytokines as triggering factor with omega-3 which has anti-inflammatory effect. Omega-3, known for its neuroprotective and anticonvulsant properties, exhibits promising effects on epileptic seizure attacks.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of omega-3 supplementation on the incidence of seizures in epilepsy patients.

Methods: This study used a literature search using advanced queries in the databases PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, and Cochrane Library, and combined MeSH terms with Title/Abstract. The collected literature is discarded if there are duplicates, then literature is filtered that meets the eligibility criteria. We used the Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine as a means of critical appraisal and determining the level of evidence of the selected literature.

Results: Four chosen literatures were critically assessed. Two articles indicating no significant difference between omega-3 and placebo and two articles showed had a significantly higher number of seizure-free days than placebo. The first article, involving 78 adults, reported a 50% reduction in seizure risk with a frequency RR of 0.57, 95% CI 0.19 to 1.75 (IS = 0%) indicating no significant difference between omega-3 and placebo groups after 12 weeks of treatment. The second study, comprising mostly non-significant findings, demonstrated no significant correlation between omega-3 and epilepsy attacks in epilepsy patients. The third literature revealed seizure occurrences per month in the EPA group (9.7±1.2), DHA group (11.7±1.5), and placebo group (16.6±1.5). Incidence rate ratio (IRR) adjusted for seizure type in EPA and DHA groups compared to the placebo group were 0.61 (CI = 0.42–0.88, p = 0.008, a 42% reduction) and 0.67 (CI = 0.46–1.0, p = 0.04, a 39% reduction), respectively. Both treatment groups had a significantly higher number of seizure-free days compared to the placebo group (p < 0.05). The fourth study reported intervention group frequency (4.72 ± 1.6, p= 0.014) and placebo frequency (11.64 ± 1.63, p=0.014) with intervention group seizure duration (6.64 ± 1.39, p=0.009) compared to placebo group (14.36 ± 2.18, p=0.009).

Conclusion: Omega-3 supplementation may be considered for management in patients with recurrent epileptic seizures, although its effect on reducing seizure frequency remains inconsistent.

Mechanical thrombectomy with the novel InThrill thrombectomy catheter for portal vein thrombosis and occluded transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: A case series
Authors: Laporte Jennifer , Mittleider Derek
Published: February 2024

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is commonly treated with anticoagulation alone, though rates of recanalization with anticoagulation vary widely. Four patients with PVT (n = 3) or occluded transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (n = 1) were treated using the InThrill thrombectomy catheter. Mechanical thrombectomy was technically successful in all patients, resulting in >90% thrombus removal from each patient. Three patients were discharged home, and patency and symptom resolution were maintained at a 2-month follow-up. One patient was discharged to rehabilitation due to comorbidities and expired after presenting with a myocardial infarction and pneumonia 2 weeks post-procedure.

Published: February 2024

Molecules cooled to the ultracold temperatures are desirable for applications in fundamental physics and quantum information science. However, cooling polyatomic molecules with more than six atoms has not yet been achieved. Building on the idea of an optical cycling center (OCC), a moiety supporting a set of localized and isolated electronic states within a polyatomic molecule, molecules with two OCCs (bi-OCCs) may afford a better cooling efficiency by doubling the photon scattering rate. By using quantum chemistry calculations, we assess the extent of the coupling of the two OCCs with each other and with the molecular scaffold. We show that promising coolable bi-OCC molecules can be proposed following chemical design principles.

O USO DE GÍRIAS E EXPRESSÕES LGBTQIA+ POR MULHERES CIS-HETEROSSEXUAIS
Authors: Alves Vieira Eduardo
Published: February 2024

Estudos da Linguística Queer priorizam o uso da língua(gem) por pessoas que se identificam com a comunidade LGBTQIA+ e excluem falantes que se identificam como cisgênero-heterossexuais. Portanto, analisamos neste trabalho os fatores sociolinguísticos que influenciam o uso do pajubá, também conhecido como o dialeto LGBTQIA+, por falantes cis-hétero. Através de um questionário online, recompilamos e analisamos dados sobre as atitudes e usos do pajubá de acordo com 387 participantes que se identificam como mulheres cis-hétero. Nossos resultados mostram que as participantes utilizam as gírias e expressões pajubeiras ainda que nem sempre sejam conscientes de que estas derivem da comunidade LGBTQIA+.
MULTILETRAMENTOS ANTIRRACISTAS POR MEIO DE UMA PRÁTICA DE ESCRITA MULTIMODAL EM UMA REDE SOCIAL
Authors: Lirio Carlos , Pinheiro Petrilson
Published: February 2024

Neste artigo, refletimos acerca da natureza socioeducativa e política do que denominamos de multiletramentos antirracistas, caracterizando-os à luz da linguística aplicada crítica (PENNYCOOK, 2001; URZÊDA-FREITAS; PESSOA, 2012) e da pedagogia dos multiletramentos (CAZDEN et al., 1996; COPE; KALANTZIS, 2000, 2009; PINHEIRO, 2020). Assim, analisamos uma sequência de tweets da rede social Twitter, refletindo sobre a relevância da pesquisa narrativa (MOEN, 2006) e argumentando a favor do seu uso na abordagem de questões sobre antirracismo (GOMES, 2005, 2007; GUIMARÃES, 1999) na internet. Finalizamos levantando questões sobre “saber” e “poder” na internet, e luta antirracista.

Published: February 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar como a imprensa se representa e apresenta o presidente Bolsonaro em textos jornalísticos, a partir do tensionamento entre essas elites simbólicas em contexto institucional. A partir dos enunciados agressivos proferidos pelo presidente Bolsonaro contra a mídia, estudamos como a imprensa noticia o fato, sendo ela a “motivadora” do enunciado do presidente. Como resultado, verificamos na polarização uma autodefesa e uma superproteção de sua face. Portanto, como produtora em última instância do texto jornalístico, a mídia tem como “controlar” todas as faces, tanto as dela, quanto as de qualquer outro envolvido.

A questão do uso de palavrões é um fato de interação, apesar de as pessoas desprezarem ou não se assumirem como usuários nos discursos. Todavia, sabemos que as pessoas recorrem aos palavrões em suas interações cotidianas para exprimirem algo importante. Nesse sentido, para entender melhor o porquê da presença de palavrões no ato interacional, coletamos dados a partir de um questionário de percepção aplicado a participantes de diferentes perfis sociais. A análise desses dados foi feita com base na Sociolinguística Interacional com foco nos postulados de contexto de enunciação de (HANKS, 2008). A relevância deste trabalho se justifica pela importância social e pelo interesse acadêmico em relação ao uso de palavrões na sociedade e pelo desprezo dessa mesma sociedade quanto a esse uso a despeito de sua expressividade no ato interacional.

Este trabalho apresenta um breve inventário da REPENSE – Rede de Pesquisadores Negres de Estudos da Linguagem. Refletindo sobre a criação e as ações da rede, pautas substantivas se colocam: a valorização da articulação entre racialidade e língua nos estudos da linguagem e a (não) visibilidade de intelectuais negres neste campo. Nesse inventário, advogamos em defesa da associação entre raça e língua(gem) em suas áreas de atuação e defendemos o combate ao epistemicídio. Logo, a historicização da rede tanto viabiliza tais discussões, quanto demarca um trajeto em busca de um espaço de mobilização cuja ocupação se faz cada vez mais necessária.

Government Regulation Substituting the Law on Job Creation in the Perspective of Constitutional Law
Authors: Sulistyowati Sulistyowati , Salim Agus , Eriyani Puspa , Mastoah Siti
Published: February 2024

The debate over the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law on Job Creation has not ceased even though it has become an official law. Pros and cons persist due to its perceived deviation from Constitutional Court Decision Number 91/PUU-XVIII/2020, issued on November 25, 2021. This research aims to describe that regulations should not contradict one another, especially when there is already a Constitutional Court decision. Regulations should be made through a legitimate process without resorting to legal shortcuts. The research method used is a normative legal research with a qualitative approach. There is ample time available to follow the proper legislative process, yet shortcuts are taken by issuing Government Regulations in Lieu of Law, which are later ratified as laws. The research implies that despite the enactment of these regulations, there is significant resistance due to their divergence from the judicial review results at the Constitutional Court. As a result, this research suggests the necessity of revising relevant laws to include sanctions for failing to comply with Constitutional Court decision.
Linguistic means of forming euphemisms in the modern Chinese language
Authors: Naumenko Stanislav , Kryvonis Maksym
Published: February 2024

The article discusses the linguistic means of forming euphemisms in the modern Chinese language and the study of the concept of “euphemism” synchronically and diachronically. Authors highlighted and described several linguistic classifications of euphemisms, presenting the historical prerequisites for their appearance in China, analyzing the connection between taboos and euphemistic vocabulary and formulating the main subject-thematic groups of Chinese euphemisms. Attention is paid to the methods of formation of euphemisms in the Chinese language, including the phonetic allusion, antonomasia, euphemization of certain fixed expressions, metaphor, metonymy. With the help of deductive-inductive analysis and a vast set of examples, authors describe how some foundations of Confucious morality and ethical-ritual traditions in Chinese society led to restriction of the usage for some lexical units and resulted in the emergence of a large number of euphemisms in the Chinese language. The study reveals many factors influencing the usage of euphemisms in the modern Chinese language including the development of society. Special attention in the article is given to the role of euphemism as a universal phenomenon, providing an opportunity for better understanding the culture of the Chinese people and their language and widening the field of effective cross-cultural communication. The authors examined the works of prominent Chinese linguists and emphasized some certain differences in their classifications. The conducted study shows that the phenomenon of euphemism exists in all nations of the world and refers to the same origin but differs in the methods of the research and therefore in the ways of forming certain lexical units.
On linear stabilization of a class of nonlinear systems in a critical case
Authors: Bebiya Maxim , Maistruk Vladyslava
Published: February 2024

In this paper, we address the stabilization problem for nonlinear systems in a critical case. Namely, we study the class of canonical nonlinear systems. Canonical nonlinear systems or chain of power integrators is an important subject of research. Studying such systems is complicated by the fact that they cannot be mapped onto linear systems. Moreover, they have the uncontrollable first approximation. Previous results on smooth stabilization of such systems were obtained under the assumption that the powers in the right-hand side are strictly decreasing. In this work, we consider a case of non-increasing powers in the right-hand side for a three-dimensional system. A popular approach for studying such systems is the backstepping method, which is a method of step-wise stabilization. This method requires a sequential investigation of lower-dimensional subsystems. Backstepping enables the study of a wide range of nonlinear triangular systems but requires technically complex and cumbersome computations. Therefore, a natural question arises about constructing stabilizing controls of a simple form. Polynomial controls can serve as an example of such controls. In the paper, we demonstrate that linear controls can be considered as stabilizing controls. We derive sufficient conditions for the coefficients of the linear control that ensure the asymptotic stability of the zero equilibrium point of the corresponding closed-loop system. The asymptotic stability is proven using the Lyapunov function method, which is found as the sum of squares. The negative definiteness of the Lyapunov function derivative in a neighborhood of the origin guarantees asymptotic stability. In contrast to the case of strictly decreasing powers, additional conditions on the control coefficients, apart from their negativity, emerge. The obtained result extends to a broader class of nonlinear systems through stabilization by nonlinear approximation. This allows the consideration of systems with higher-order terms in the right-hand side. The effectiveness of the applied approach is illustrated by several model examples. The method used in this work to investigate the case of non-increasing powers can be applied to systems of higher dimensions.

Published: February 2024

In this paper, transmission of filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) modulated signal through reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) is proposed as an assuring technique for future wireless communication. RIS deliberately alters phases of incident signals to enhance quality of the received signal. Simulation outcomes show that it is possible to establish RIS-based FBMC communications in which RIS functions as an intelligent reflector with information concerning channel phases. It is observed that RIS-based FBMC transmissions may be a prospective solution for beyond 5G communication.

Management of Pelvic Trauma Orthopedic Management of Pelvic Trauma
Authors: De Luca L , Maurizio A , Branca Vergano L
Published: February 2024

Patients with a suspected pelvic fracture should be managed according to the principles of Advanced Trauma Life Support. The mechanism of trauma determines the pattern of pelvic lesions and the likelihood of associated injuries. The most common classification to describe pelvic lesions is the Young–Burgess system. This classification describes the radiographic images by analyzing the mechanism of injury that leads to predictable patterns of injury and displacement. It is useful in describing injuries and in helping guide both initial treatment and definitive fixation. The initial treatment in case of pelvic lesion is the application of a pelvic binder. An external fixator is recommended in hemodynamically unstable patients with unstable pelvic lesions to prevent further bleeding and to support measures of hemorrhage control. Definitive treatment of pelvic ring lesions requires anterior stabilization or a posterior fixation, or both, depending on the type of injury.

Labor education is an important content of the national education system, which has the comprehensive nurturing value of cultivating morality, increasing intelligence, strengthening physical fitness, and cultivating beauty. Higher education institutions should further optimize the system of labor education, expand students’ space and field of thinking in the process of labor education, and broaden students’ international perspectives.
Principals’ and Teachers’ Awareness, Knowledge, and Differentiation of Privatization — A Secondary Publication
Authors: Katsuno Masaaki
Published: February 2024

Based on the keynote report by Professor Martin Thrupp, this paper discusses the hollowing out of educationprovision by the state and the permeation of managerialism. It was pointed out that principals and boards of trustees in socioeconomically advantaged areas may not be willing to share their benefits with schools in less advantaged areas. The new liberal policies have hollowed out state provision of education, so the education system has come to rely heavily on private actors. This paper also presents the current stage of privatization in Japan and the principals’ and teachers’ perceptions of privatization.
The Barrier of the Child and Parent Expected Models for Entering the School System — A Secondary Publication
Authors: Conus Xavier
Published: February 2024

The recognition of the positive value of student diversity and their right to full participation are key aspects of inclusion as a means of managing heterogeneity of the school population from an equality perspective. As the school cannot welcome the diversity of children without including their families, the same logic needs to apply to the relationship between the school and parents, particularly in the current environment where the school-family partnership appears as a privileged institutional leverage in the fight against inequalities at school. Based on an ethnographical study exploring how the relationship between the school and the families builds up in a Swiss school located in a context of strong cultural diversity, this paper interrogates how the school norm can be the main limitation to the inclusion of students and parents who are unfamiliar with the school. Derived from field observations and interviews, our results show how the teachers tend to approach their relationship with new students and their parents from the standpoint of narrowly defined expected models, leading them to engage in a vain attempt to conform the students and parents when they deviate from these models. The possibility of entering the school system for students and parents unfamiliar with school is hindered by the exclusive and excluding normativity on which the models of the child and the parent expected by the teachers are grounded. Based on these observations, we discuss how an inclusive approach seems to us to require in the first place a necessary process of decentering from the school and teachers, as a condition for recognition of the actual child and parent.

El presente artículo de investigación presenta los resultados de un estudio cuyo objetivo consistió en analizar las estrategias cognitivas y el componente motivacional del aprendizaje en estudiantes de primer curso de la facultad de medicina de Zaragoza mediante el Cuestionario de Motivación y Estrategias de Aprendizaje (MSLQ, Pintrich et al., 1991). Participaron 153 estudiantes de los que el 27 % eran de género masculino y el 73 % de género femenino. Los resultados confirman el uso de estrategias cognitivas de alto nivel (como la organización), y de estrategias de autoregulación metacognitiva. En el componente motivacional existe un predominio de la meta intrínseca y una alta valoración de la tarea. Así mismo, se evidenció una elevada correlación entre el componente motivacional y el cognitivo.

The aim of the study was to evaluate treatment protocols for improvement of clinical and bacteriological cure rate of non-severe clinical mastitis (CM) and selective dry cow therapy (SDCT). Mastitis management based on on-farm commercial culture system MicroMastTM and data analysis were implemented into two dairy herds. Quarters with evidence of Gram-positive agents were treated using benzyl penicillin or amoxicillin and/or by amoxicillin with clavulanic acid. In herd A, 31 quarters of non-severe CM were recorded. Of them, Streptococcus uberis was isolated in 16 (51.6%), non-aureus staphylococci (NAS) in 8 (25.8%), E. coli in 5 (16.1%) and no growth in 2 (6.5%) cases. Bacteriological cure was observed in 24/29 (82.8%) quarters. Antimicrobial consumption was reduced from 3.56 to 2.33 doses per case. Under the SDCT protocol, 28 quarters (13.2%) of 53 cows dried-off were included, achieving a reduction by 86.8% on the quarter level. In herd B, 23 quarters of non-severe CM were recorded. Of them, S. uberis and Escherichia coli were identified equally in 8 (34.8%) samples and NAS in 2 (8.7%) samples and with no growth in 5 (21.7%) cases. Bacteriological cure was achieved in 17/18 quarters (94.4%). Antimicrobial consumption was reduced from 4.45 to 1.83 doses per case. Only 5 (1.7%) quarters of 72 cows were included for SDCT with reduction in consumption of antimicrobials by 98.3% on the quarter level. In summary, innovated treatment protocols based on results of on-farm culture enabled a significant reduction of antimicrobial consumption and improvement of bacteriological cure rate in conditions of practise.

We compared four diluents (Andromed, dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulphoxide, Triladyl) used for semen cryopreservation in wild ungulates from the familyCervidae, i.e. roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), red deer (Cervus elaphus), and fallow deer (Dama dama). Epididymal sperm samples were collected and analysed immediately using Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis with the module for concentration and motility determination and, after equilibration, frozen and placed in liquid nitrogen for one month. After thawing, the samples were again subjected to the same examination procedure. Influence of cryopreservation and choice of the cryoprotectant was assessed by monitoring sperm concentration, average head area (HA), average velocity and progressivity (VAP), beat frequency (BF), total motility (MO), total progressive motility (PR), circular tracks (CT) and mucous penetration (MP). We observed no significant differences in sperm concentration between cryoprotective diluents or fresh and post-thaw samples in all species. All motility indicators (MO, PR, VAP, BF, CT) were influenced by the treatment but did not differ significantly between diluents used in red and roe deer. In fallow deer, commercial diluents (Andromed, Triladyl) resulted in better sperm survival than the alternatives (dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylacetamide). Only HA showed significant differences (P< 0.001) in all species based on the diluent, with no effect of treatment. In contrast, MP was influenced by both the diluent and the cryopreservation process in roe deer and, partly, fallow deer. In future studies, we suggest expanding both the members of theCervidaefamily examined and the sample size. Knowledge how to optimise cryopreservation protocols for different mammalian species has implications for conservation reproductive medicine of endangered wildlife.

Purpose: Sustainable development has become a critical goal for organizations worldwide, with an increasing focus on environmental, social, and economic responsibilities. Companies are now expected not only to achieve financial success but also to contribute positively to the well-being of society and the environment. In this context, Aptiv, a global technology company, stands out as a beacon of sustainable development. This article explores how Aptiv integrates sustainable practices into its operations, with a particular emphasis on Organizational Alignment and the Theory of Planned Behavior. By examining Aptiv's sustainability documentation, authors delve into how the company addresses various aspects of sustainable development and aligns with specific United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Design/methodology/approach: The research employs case study and company documents analysis to understand structural and perceptual aspects of Organizational Alignment in reaching SDGs. Findings: The findings suggest that aligning organizational structures with SDGs, coupled with a comprehensive understanding of planned behavior factors, can serve as a strategic approach for fostering successful sustainability initiatives within organizations. This dual approach addresses both the structural and behavioral aspects, offering a more holistic framework for achieving sustainable development objectives. Research limitations/implications: Research limitation lies in single source case study, suggesting the need for broader research encompassing a more extensive range of organizations. Future studies should consider both the size and the industry-specific characteristics of organizations to enhance the generalizability of findings. Practical implications: The case study serves as a blueprint, demonstrating how successful organizations strategically integrate sustainability practices to achieve tangible and impactful results. Originality/value: This paper contributes novelty by addressing a research gap through its focus on a limited number of case studies detailing specific organizations' successful implementation of SDGs. Its value lies in providing actionable insights and strategic guidance for organizations aiming to effectively integrate SDGs, particularly suitable for those seeking practical examples and success stories in the realm of sustainability initiatives. Keywords: Sustainable Development, Organizational Alignment, Theory of Planned Behavior. Category of the paper: Case study.
