Ahtauden ja eriarvoisuuden kytkökset 1960- ja 1970-lukujen tiedekentällä
Authors: Sailo Annukka
Published: December 2024

1960-luvulla vanhat huolet korkean väestötiheyden ja ahtauden vaikutuksesta ihmisten terveydelle ja hyvinvoinnille kasvoivat. Artikkeli tarkastelee 1960- ja 1970-lukujen intensiivisen tieteellisen kiinnostuksen ja ahtaustutkimuksen syitä ja tuloksia kiinnittäen erityistä huomiota näkemyksiin ahtauden ja epätasa-arvon yhteyksistä. Hyödyntäen lähteinään aikakauden julkaistuja tutkimuksia, artikkeli analysoi poikkitieteellisiä debatteja, hypoteeseja ja teorioita ja yhdistää ne ajankohdan yhteiskunnallisiin ongelmiin ja huoliin.
Ahtautta tutkittiin erityisen intensiivisesti ympäristöpsykologiassa ja kaupunkisosiologiassa. Tutkimus johti uusiin teorioihin, näkemyksiin ja käsitteellisiin pohdintoihin, ja lopulta ahtaushuolten vähittäiseen hiipumiseen. Ympäristöpsykologit käsitteellistivät ahtautta uusin tavoin, irrottivat sen osittain fyysisistä suureista ja tutkivat sitä empiirisesti. Vaikka ympäristöpsykologien käsitys ahtauden kokemukseen vaikuttavista tekijöistä sisälsi statuksen merkityksen ja kontrollin tärkeyden, heidän näkemyksensä olivat yksilöllistäviä eivätkä ottaneet kantaa yhteiskunnalliseen epätasa-arvoon. Sen sijaan kaupunkisosiologit korostivat sosioekonomisten erojen, rodun ja syrjinnän merkitystä terveydellisten ja sosiaalisten ongelmien synnyssä ahtauden sijaan, kannattivat suunnittelua, joka tähtäsi eriytymiskehityksen kääntämiseen sekä vastustivat ratkaisuja, jotka palvelivat lähinnä valkoisen keskiluokan etuja.

Dampaknya, hubungan mereka dengan orang tua cenderung formal, satu arah, dan terhambat oleh ketakutan akan kritik serta penolakan. Namun, mereka berharap untuk membangun komunikasi yang lebih terbuka dan saling mendukung di masa depan. Penelitian ini mengindikasikan pentingnya komunikasi yang lebih empati dan mendalam antara orang tua dan anak untuk mendukung perkembangan emosional anak, terutama bagi mahasiswa rantau yang terpisah jauh dari keluarga.
Osteoporosis Disease Detection using Optimized Elman Recurrent Neural Network based on Hybrid Bacterial Colony Optimization and Tabu Search Algorithm
Authors: B Sivasakthi , K Preetha , D Selvanayagi
Published: December 2024

Bone loss and fragility are indications of osteoporosis, a condition caused by calcium deficiency. The detection of osteoporosis is a significant and difficult diagnostic endeavor. Elman recurrent neural network (ERNN) is a well-known medical disease detection method due to its modeling sequential data and capturing temporal dependencies. ERNN training can be computationally costly and necessitates precise adjustment of hyperparameters. In this research, optimized ERNN is used to predict osteoporosis diseases to achieve high detection accuracy and to improve the global convergence rate. The new hybrid method is used to optimize the hyperparameters of ERNN based on the bacterial colony optimization (BCO) and tabu search (TS) algorithm, which is called IBCO-ERNN. The hybrid technique can efficiently explore the solution space by combining BCO's global exploration capabilities and TS's local exploitation capability, perhaps leading to better solutions to hyperparameter optimization problems. The hybrid BCO-TS strategy trains the ERNN model to prevent local optima and improve convergence rate. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed IBCO-ERNN obtained high accuracy and fast convergence compared to other detection methods.

Panic Buying: A Theoretical and Conceptual Review
Authors: Saral İlknur
Published: December 2024

Purpose: Panic buying is a consumer behaviour that can be complex and difficult to explain in critical, urgent, uncertain and crisis situations. This phenomenon has yet to be fully explored in research on consumer behaviour. Panic buying may have many causes and consequences. Determining the causes of panic buying and understanding consumer psychology in crisis and disaster situations in various theories can guide government officials, businesses, marketing practitioners and researchers in case it occurs again in consumer behaviour in the future. This study aims to conduct a conceptual and theoretical examination of panic buying and to focus on its causes. Material and Method: Panic buying was discussed conceptually and theoretically within the literature review framework and inferences were made. Findings: This study focuses on the conceptual and theoretical examination of panic buying and its causes. Theories such as Compensatory Control Theory, Social Influence Theory, Social Proof Theory, Scarcity Theory, Herd Behavior, Survival Psychology and Motivation Theory have been intensively studied on panic buying. It is more common in the literature to try explaining the reasons for panic buying during crises, pandemics and disasters. Results: The reasons for panic buying can mostly be shown as environmental, sociological and psychological factors such as pandemics, risks, disasters, perception of scarcity, herd mentality, social influence, social media, expert opinion, anxiety about uncertainty, and fear. It is suggested for future research to measure the emotional states such as regret, sadness, empathy, satisfaction after panic buying and the intention to buy panic again, and what strategies can be used to control panic buying.
Atomic Memory Model
Authors:   St. Cyril and St. Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, Bonchev Miroslav
Published: December 2024

Memory leaks and buffer overruns are among the most common erroneous conditions in computer systems. They are also among the most tedious, difficult and time consuming to detect, identify, locate, and resolve. Both Microsoft and Google independently report that memory safety issues cause 70% of all security vulnerabilities [10]. The Atomic Memory Model provides a mechanism for resolving these types of errors. Simultaneously, it makes the software architecture more robust and elegant by enforcing a code hierarchy regarding the memory use, as well as allowing for innate memory abstraction that matches the application semantics. The model also significantly increases the speed of the software development by relieving developers from detailed memory management.

Authors:   University of National and World Economy, Spassov Svetoslav
Published: December 2024

The global push to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while meeting the rising demand for electricity, has led to a growing interest in less polluting energy sources. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) emerge as a key innovation in nuclear power, offering enhanced safety, transportability, and cost-effectiveness. This paper explores the role of SMRs in advancing decarbonization and strengthening energy security, with a focus on their potential deployment in the EU, including with the aim to achieve climate targets and ensure a stable electricity supply. The study evaluates various SMR designs using the International Atomic Energy Agency’s reactor technology assessment toolkit, considering factors such as safety, economic viability, and regulatory challenges. The findings highlight the critical role of informed decision-making in the successful integration of SMRs into national energy grids, addressing both technical and public perception issues. This paper also underscores the importance of SMRs in creating a sustainable and resilient energy future.
Informed consent in decentralised clinical trials through an ethical lens
Authors: Bogaert Brenda
Published: December 2024

Decentralised clinical trials raise ethical questions regarding informed consent because the consent process often takes place remotely. This article explores the challenges (such as fewer in-person interactions) and opportunities (including new possibilities for exercising autonomy and engaging a more diverse research population) that a remote informed consent process raises for research participants. In addition, the article contains several approaches for mitigating the ethical problems that obtaining informed consent remotely raises in decentralised clinical trials, including moving toward a more dynamic informed consent process and using teleconference technologies to give regular feedback to participants, which may help increase transparency and foster trust between research participants and the research team.

Early Detection of Hard-Coded Secrets in Software Development: A Multi-Method Approach Integrating Static Analysis, Entropy-Based Detection, and Machine Learning
Authors: Ramaswamy Mithilesh
Published: December 2024

The inadvertent inclusion of hard-coded secrets—such as API keys, passwords, and tokens—within source code
poses significant security risks, potentially leading to unauthorized access and data breaches. Recent studies have
highlighted the prevalence of this issue; for instance, GitGuardian's 2023 report revealed a 67% increase in detected
hard-coded secrets compared to the previous year, with 10 million new secrets discovered in public GitHub commits
in 2022. To address this escalating concern, our research proposes a comprehensive, multi-method approach that
integrates static code analysis, entropy-based detection, and machine learning techniques to enhance the early
identification of hard-coded secrets during the software development lifecycle. By combining these methodologies,
the proposed approach improves detection accuracy, reduces false positives, and provides developers with actionable
insights to mitigate security vulnerabilities proactively. This integrated strategy not only strengthens the security
posture of software applications but also fosters a culture of secure coding practices among development teams.

Translating the City. Interdisciplinarity in urban studies
Authors: Vincent-Geslin Stephanie , Pedrazzini Yves , Adly Hossam , Zorro Yafiza
Published: December 2024

Cities are a highly fragmented, heterogeneous subject; those who study, ana- lyze and question it make a use of a variety of disciplines and methods and have different areas of expertise. How is a dialogue built between heterogeneous urban contexts and urban researchers, architects, developers, anthropologists, sociologists and political scientists? What capacity do concepts and meth- ods have to travel from one context to another? How can they be transferred? Can they be translated? The strength of Translating the City lies in its disci- plinary and geographical comparison and dialogue on a global scale. It openly targets an international audience, bringing together leading researchers from a variety of disciplines (urban planning, sociology, architecture and anthropology) and presenting case studies from highly contrasting urban settings, including Cape Town, Dubai, Rio de Janeiro, Montreal, Mumbai, as well as Geneva, Lisbon, or Berlin.

There is a potential lateralization of vegetative influences at the cerebral level. We sought to understand the impact of these influences in the setting of ischemic stroke. We conducted a prospective study on 110 who presented with acute ischemic stroke (symptom onset maximum 24 hours before admission). We investigated correlations between stroke subtype, insular location or lateralization, stroke severity, hospital mortality, and the dynamic of enzymes (Tn, TnT, CK, CK-MB). We demonstrated that a higher cardiac enzyme value is associated either with stroke severity or with a higher risk of death in the short term, this growth being a marker for a more severe prognosis of a large stroke rather than an independent cause of mortality. Cardiac monitoring in the acute phase of ischemic stroke can prevent cardiac morbidity and mortality, which is why it is important to identify patients at high risk of heart complications after stroke.

Published: December 2024

Tomatoes are the most commercialized vegetable due their high nutritional content and health-promoting properties. However, tomatoes have a short shelf life; edible coatings have evolved as an effective approach to enhance its shelf life. Edible coatings are thin layers applied onto the surface of fruits and vegetables to improve their physiochemical properties. Different natural extract such as neem leaf extract, lemongrass leaf extract, ginger extract, garlic extract, aloevera gel and distilled water along with control were used as edible coating on shelf life and quality of tomatoes under room temperature. Data was collected on many traits i.e., tomato weight loss, fruit pH, fruit color, total soluble salts (TSS), firmness and total phenolics contents. The treated tomatoes showed significantly minimum weight loss, good appearance, color, firmness and high total phenolics contents. So, these natural and environmental friendly edible coating could be considered a potential postharvest treatment to delay ripening and to conserve the quality of harvested tomatoes. Data was analyzed using LSD test at 5% probability level.

A field study was carried out at the Soil Salinity Research Institute's research farm in Pindi Bhattian in 2020–21 to assess the effects of using chemical and organic fertilizers together on rice and wheat yields, as well as the nutrient contents and characteristics of recently reclaimed saline sodic soil. The original characteristics of the field were ECe 8.50 dS m-1, pHs 8.90 and gypsum requirement 4.12 tons acre-1. Using 100% of the required gypsum, this field was recovered. Application rates for six distinct organic manures were 20 t. ha-1 + 75% R.D. of N P K. Merely 75% of the prescribed amount of NPK was administered in the control therapy. The manures that were used were wheat straw, sesbania green manure, press mud, FYM, poultry manure, and litter of eucalyptus leaves. The rice crop was treated with these manures one month prior to rice transplanting. Data showed that all of the manures enhanced rice yield in the paddy and straw compared to the control. Maximum yields of rice and straw were recorded in the applications of chicken manure, which was comparable to FYM and sesbania green manuring. This was followed by FYM, litter, press-mud, sesbania green manuring, wheat straw, and least in the control. All other manures remained non-significant with each other but significant over control, with the exception of P in poultry manure treated plots in straw, which stayed at par with press-mud treated plots. Maximum and considerably higher P contents were found in paddy and straw in press-mud treated plots. Plots treated with wheat straw had K levels that were both maximal and noticeably higher. Following rice crop harvest, soil tests showed that plots treated with poultry dung had lower maximum ECe. While press-mud sesbania treated plots showed a drop in maximum SAR, FYM remained at par with poultry manure. The press-mud treated plots had the highest P content in the soil, comparable to those treated with poultry manure, while the wheat straw treated plots showed the highest K content. The pH and total N levels were not statistically significant. In order to replicate the benefits of applied organic manures, wheat was grown in the same layout following the rice harvest. Wheat straw and grain yields were highest in residual poultry manure-applied plots; these yields were not significantly different from those of FYM-applied plots, which were followed by sesbania, wheat straw, and litter. Following wheat harvest, the soil's salinity and sodicity characteristics somewhat dropped while its fertility metrics slightly increased.

Objetivo: Objetivo deste estudo é examinar como os fatores sociais, pessoais, conspícuos, ambientais e econômicos influenciam a atitude de compra de produtos de luxo de segunda mão, além de analisar como anonimato e garantia de autenticidade moderam a intenção de compra de luxo de segunda mão e normas subjetivas e percepção do controle do comportamento, devido ao aumento do mercado de produtos de luxo de segunda mão.
Metodologia/abordagem: Utilizando dados coletados de 301 brasileiros entre meses de novembro de 2022 a março de 2023, um modelo estrutural que considerou os constructos fatores sociais, pessoais, conspícuos, ambientais e econômicos, a atitude e intenção de compra de produtos de luxo de segunda mão, o anonimato, a garantia de autenticidade, a percepção de controle de comportamento e normas subjetivas.
Originalidade/valor: Este trabalho testa pela primeira vez as hipóteses que a garantia de autenticidade e anonimato aumentam as relações entre percepção de controle do comportamento, normas subjetivas e intenção de compra. Isso porque a garantia de autenticidade e o anonimato são necessários para muitos consumidores de itens de luxo usados.
Resultados: Os resultados da análise evidenciam que anonimato e garantia de autenticidade não aumentam as relações entre normas subjetivas e percepção do controle do comportamento com a intenção de compra de artigos de luxo de segunda mão. Além disso, dos fatores, os ambientais e pessoais não possuem relação positiva com a atitude de compra de produtos de luxo de segunda mão.
Contribuição teórica e prática: Este traz contribuições teóricas ao analisar como os fatores exercem influência na atitude de compra de segunda mão, uma vez que há dificuldade de encontrar estudos acadêmicos relevantes que abranjam esse tema. Já como contribuição prática, este contribui com direcionamentos para empresas do mercado de produtos de luxo de primeira e segunda mão, para melhor elaborarem estratégias de marketing, uma vez que fatores não se mostraram relevantes.

This study examined the physiological effects of combining contrast complex training (CCT) with either repeated short sprints (RSE) or high-intensity intervals (HIIT) on elite male handball players during the competitive season. The goal was to identify which training method more effectively enhances strength, endurance, and sprint performance. Fifteen elite handball players were divided into two groups during a 12-week training program, conducted alongside their regular handball practice. The RSE group (n = 8) performed 10 shuttle sprints (2x15m) with passive rest, while the HIIT group (n = 7) completed 5 repetitions of 30-second all-out sprints with directional changes. Both groups participated in CCT exercises, including squats at 90% of 1RM, jump squats at 50% of body weight, and drop jumps from 30 cm. Performance was assessed before and after the intervention using tests for jump squat rate of force development (RFD), 5-jump distance, 30m sprint, repeated shuttle sprint ability (RSSA), maximal squat strength, Yo-Yo intermittent recovery (YYIRT 1), and VO2max. Both groups significantly increased maximal squat strength, with the RSE group improving by 8.8% and the HIIT group by 7.4% (p < .01). The HIIT group showed a greater improvement in RFD (63.3% vs. 56.3%, p < .05). VO2max increased by about 2% in both groups. YYIRT 1 improved by 9.4% in the RSE group and 5.8% in the HIIT group. However, acceleration (5m sprint) declined in both groups, more notably in the RSE group (-5.7%). RSSA performance deteriorated in the RSE group, while the HIIT group significantly enhanced their fatigue resistance, with a 39.1% improvement in Sdec at RSA (p < .09). CCT increased strength and RFD but did not improve acceleration. HIIT was superior to RSE in maintaining or improving repeated sprint ability, making it the preferred method for elite handball players during the competitive season.

Published: December 2024

O Sistema Multiportas no Brasil emerge como uma resposta à busca por uma justiça mais efetiva e personalizada, capaz de atender à diversidade de arranjos conflitivos. Ele contrasta com a cultura jurídica tradicional, que historicamente prioriza a adjudicação em detrimento de métodos colaborativos e consensuais de resolução de conflitos. Este artigo tem como objetivo geral avaliar a eficiência dos métodos adequados de tratamento de conflitos — mediação, conciliação, arbitragem e negociação como alternativas que complementam o sistema judicial tradicional, promovendo uma justiça mais inclusiva e resolutiva. A pesquisa adota uma metodologia qualitativa, baseada em revisão bibliográfica e análise de dados do Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ), visando compreender a aplicação prática desses métodos em contextos variados. Como principais conclusões, o estudo sugere que a implementação do sistema multiportas não apenas aprimora a eficiência dos processos judiciais, mas também amplia o acesso à justiça e promove maior satisfação entre as partes, incentivando uma cultura de pacificação social.

Os danos aos pacientes estão entre as principais causas de problemas de saúde no mundo, sendo as práticas inseguras e os erros de medicação os maiores responsáveis por danos evitáveis. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar evidências da literatura sobre estratégias de ensino empregadas na graduação em enfermagem para a notificação de incidentes adversos. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, para a qual foram utilizados os descritores "erros médicos", "educação em enfermagem", "informação de saúde", "sistemas" e "segurança do paciente", pesquisados nas bases de dados BVSalud (incluindo BDENF e LILACS), Medline, PubMed, Google Acadêmico e na biblioteca SciELO. Os critérios de inclusão foram artigos empíricos, revisões de literatura, teses, monografias e dissertações, publicados nacional e internacionalmente entre janeiro de 2019 e setembro de 2024, disponíveis na íntegra em português, inglês ou espanhol, e classificados como de acesso aberto. A busca resultou em 504.508 publicações; após criteriosa avaliação, foram selecionados 89.117 textos para leitura e sete para compor a análise qualitativa. A partir desses estudos, observou-se que a temática de erros médicos é abordada no Brasil, em conjunto com a segurança do paciente. Entre as abordagens metodológicas mencionadas para o ensino estão discussões, painéis, gamificação, simulação e simulação imersiva em realidade virtual, laboratórios de habilidades, treinamento just-in-time, sistemas de comunicação eletrônica e cursos online síncronos. Para pesquisas futuras, sugere-se investigar a eficácia dessas metodologias no contexto brasileiro, como simulação, gamificação e discussões em painel, com o objetivo de avaliar o impacto dessas práticas no aprendizado dos estudantes de enfermagem sobre notificação de incidentes adversos e segurança do paciente.

Published: December 2024

As perdas dentárias se configuram como um grande problema para a população idosa, sendo fundamental para a pública a compreensão do tempo de vida que se convive com esses problemas. O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar a expectativa de vida com boa e má saúde bucal, em pessoas idosas com 60 anos ou mais. Trata-se de um estudo transversal que empregou dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde de 2019, juntamente com tábuas de vida completas. Foi utilizado o método de Sullivan para as estimativas. Quanto mais velho, se passa proporcionalmente menos tempo com boa saúde bucal. Observou-se diferenças significativas entre homens e mulheres. Aos 60 anos, os homens em 2019 esperavam viver, em média, 20,7 anos, dos quais 13 (IC95%; 12,0-13,8), cerca de 62,7% com boa saúde bucal. Já as mulheres da mesma idade esperavam viver 24,4 anos, dos quais 16,7 (IC95%; 15,7-17,6), 68,5% com boa saúde. As estimativas com edentulismo mostraram aumento do tempo vivido com essa condição com o avançar da idade. É fundamental ações que possibilitem maior acesso e de qualidade aos serviços públicos odontológicos, de modo que a utilização não se restrinja aos que possuem maiores recursos financeiros por meio apenas dos serviços privados.

Objetivo destacar os principais conceitos acerca do escorpionismo no Brasil, além de abordar estratégias contra os acidentes envolvendo escorpiões. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa de caráter crítico e analítico, na pesquisa sobre os principais conceitos no que tange o escorpionismo no Brasil, além de abordar estratégias contra os acidentes envolvendo escorpiões. Foi realizada uma revisão de artigos nas bases de dados Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), LILACS (Literatura Latino-Americana em Ciências da Saúde) e PubMed, com os seguintes Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS): Ações de Vigilância; Escorpiões; Picadas de escorpiões. Em áreas tropicais e subtropicais, é comum a ocorrência de incidentes ligados a animais venenosos. Os envenenamentos causados pelo Tityus serrulatus, também conhecido como escorpião amarelo, são os mais frequentes. Os escorpiões são os primeiros artrópodes terrestres que fazem parte do grupo dos quelicerados na estrutura biológica.Os acidentes com escorpiões representam um sério problema de saúde pública, ocasionando casos graves. Os escorpiões exercem uma função vital no equilíbrio ecológico, servindo como predadores de várias espécies. Dessa forma, a sua preservação no meio ambiente é fundamental. A formalização de campanhas educativas é essencial para conscientizar a população acerca dos riscos envolvidos e das medidas preventivas a serem implementadas. Além disso, é fundamental proporcionar suporte às instituições públicas para que consigam implementar ações de controle mais eficientes, assegurando a mitigação da proliferação desses artrópodes nas áreas urbanas.
Vulnerability of Wi-Fi wireless network to signal interference
Authors: Lemieszewski Łukasz , Hannebauer Dina , Remiszewski Grzegorz
Published: December 2024

Wi-Fi networks are often susceptible to signal interference that can disrupt services, intercept sensitive data, and allow unauthorized access. Exploiting this vulnerability, attackers can launch Intentional Electromagnetic Interference (IEMI) attacks or protocol-based attacks. IEMI attacks include, but are not limited to, jamming, which involves the introduction of interference signals in the frequency band used by a given Wi-Fi network, thus disrupting its proper operation. The article presents research on different types of IEMI attacks, aimed at illustrating this type of threat to video transmission from Wi-Fi cameras and discusses methods of protection against this type of attack. The paper examines the methods of jamming the wireless network band, which are used on the distribution methods and the Sweeping Jammer methods that cyclically disrupt all available devices. Based on experiments, it has been confirmed that SOHO devices are highly susceptible to this type of simple attacks and implementing a method to minimize the effects of jamming yields poor results. The simplicity of this type of attack and the high availability of software and hardware tools on the market make the threat highly popular and still dangerous.
