Trust in E-government among Youth in the Bethlehem Governorate and Perceptions of Tax Compliance
Authors: Alkhatib Amjad , Alshrouf Majed
Published: August 2024

This article aims to investigate the attitudes of youngsters about trust in E-government and how those sentiments relate to their predicted tax attitudes. The majority of earlier research examined the nature and consequences of adult confidence in E-governments, and the perspectives of youngsters are not taken into account in tax compliance studies. In order to verify the components of youngsters attitudes of tax compliance and trust in the E-government, data from 150 youngsters from Bethlehem Governorate using questionnaires. Youngsters between the ages of 18 and 22 were the target demographic. The returned questionnaires were examined and 120 questionnaires were valid for analysis, and the data were analyzed using the Smart PLS program. The results of this study demonstrate that trust in E-government has a positive and statistically significant impact on youngsters’ perceptions of tax compliance. The originality and scientific contribution of this research lie in its focus on youngsters' trust in E-government and its impact on tax compliance, a less-studied area.

An Approach to Secure Data Sharing in the Internet of Things Using Blockchain- Based Proxy Re-Encryption
Authors: Choudhary Keshav Kumar , Hegde Shreedhara N , Pui Lin C.
Published: August 2024

The prevalence of data sharing has increased with the rise in popularity of cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT). However, ensuring data security is difficult because of the possible negative consequences of illegal data usage. This study presents a method for ensuring the secure transmission of data in cloud environments: proxy re-encryption. The identity-based encryption method enables data owners to transfer encrypted data to the cloud. Subsequently, a proxy re-encryption framework enables authorized individuals to access the data. To surpass the limitations of IoT device resources, we utilize an edge device as a proxy server to transfer computationally intensive tasks to a separate device. By utilizing the advantages of information-centric networking, we can optimize network capacity and enhance service quality by efficiently distributing cached content across the proxy. This method decreases bottlenecks in centralized systems while providing precise control over data access. The proposed work demonstrates the effectiveness of the strategy in ensuring data security, confidentiality, and integrity through thorough security research and plan review.

Demographic and occupational determinants of technical overload, techno-intrusion and techno-complexity
Authors: Leitner Ilona , Liepert Maximilian
Published: August 2024

Main goal of this paper was to draw more attention to the pervasiveness of technostress in the consulting environment. As TS tends to be perceived differently in terms of what it entails, authors have focused, instead, on its relationship with such demographical variables as gender, age, work level and family status in the research. Study was conducted using a quantitative questionnaire. Sample consisted of 702 consulting employees (417 men and 275 women) aged 18-65. Data analysis was based on ANOVA and stepwise regression models. Results reveal that female participants and employees older than 35, experience significantly more Techno-Complexity compared to other groups. No significant effect of family status on Techno-Complexity was found. Senior-rank employees experience more Techno-Overload and Techno-Invasion, compared to co-workers in more junior positions. The authors’ findings point out to the necessity of workplace-stress prevention solutions focusing specifically on gender, age and the seniority level of an employee. The Results imply that such focus can prove essential in the prevention of burnout and considerable decrease in individual stress levels, loss of workplace focus and overall workplace productivity
Psychological preservation of volunteers during the war: An empirical analysis
Authors: Shevtsova Tetiana
Published: August 2024

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the psychological self-preservation of volunteers with varying lengths of volunteer experience. The main structural components of psychological self preservation, the level of subjective stress, and the psychological safety of the individual are identified. The presence of meaning in life and personal characteristics such as extraversion, friendliness, conscientiousness, and openness to new experiences were examined. The use of basic coping strategies in stressful situations was analysed. In order to study the psychological self-preservation of the personality of volunteers through structural components, including cognitive, emotional, behavioural, and social, the following psychodiagnostic methods were used: Ukrainian adaptation of the short five-factor personality questionnaire (TIPI-UKR); â€śExpress diagnostics of the psychological safety of the individualâ€ť; Questionnaire of the Perceived Stress Scale PSS-10; The Meaning of Life Questionnaire MLQ 2006, and the method of psychological diagnostics of coping mechanisms (E. Heim). Psychological self-preservation implies the ability of a person to effectively adapt to negative events and the ability to think positively and rationally assess the situation. This implies the ability to manage emotions, create a positive social environment, and have the resources to restore mental and physical health after difficult life events. It was found that in the subjects, with an increase in the duration of volunteer work, the level of subjective stress increases and the level of feeling of psychological safety decreases, which also indicates that volunteer work is a complex multifaceted process and requires resources and energy. However, with regard to the presence of meaning in life, it can be seen that with increasing experience of volunteering, there is a higher level of presence and search for meaning in life. It can be assumed that volunteer work and helping others gives a sense of self realisation, significance, and personal importance. The search for meaning in life is relevant for all the subjects studied and reflects the current situation of self-realisation both professional and personal life and serves as a structural element of the psychological self-preservation framework, giving meaning and awareness to a person's activities. Further study of the structural components of psychological self-preservation requires the development and implementation of psychological training on the development of resistance to stressful situations, taking into account the presented results of empirical research

Published: August 2024

The aim of this research-based review is to disseminate scientific knowledge about an important FOXO3 gene and its activation by phytochemicals. The fork head box O (FOXO) transcription factor is composed of helix DNA. FOXOs are involved in metabolism, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, energy, oxidative stress, immunity, inflammation, and stem cell maintenance symptoms that occur because of age associated diseases. Its FOXOs family consists of foxo1, foxo3, foxo4 and foxo6, but all of them are different from each other, among which FOXO3 gene involved in human longevity. FOXO3 proteins manage those genes that are associated with growth factors. To increase health span FOXO3 proteins are engaged in many physiological and pathological conditions like cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, chronic neurological diseases, and tumor suppressants. Phytochemicals, including polyphenols, seem to have potential for upregulation of the function of FOXO 3. The literature for the described study was collected by various research engines like Google Scholar, PubMed, ResearchGate, etc. Our review-based study reveals that Phenols, Polyphenols and terpenoids were found to be effective regulators of the FOXO3 gene for human longevity.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Due to the limitations in finding the right donor, the majority of patients with renal failure (chronic kidney disease stage 5) are treated with hemodialysis. In literature, we have extensive evidence of different hemodialysis prescriptions based on different frequencies per week and duration of each session. We tried to assess the impact of different hemodialysis frequencies on the adequacy of dialysis based on nutritional parameters, electrolyte imbalances and quality of life (QoL) parameters. Material and Methods: It was a single center, prospective, observational study conducted over three consecutive months on patients on hemodialysis and their biochemical, and QoL parameters were recorded. We could enroll 29 patients for this study. The objective was to assess the effect of different hemodialysis frequencies per week on hemodialysis adequacy parameters and QoL indices. Results: The baseline characteristics were uniform with respect to age (p=0.761) and commonly associated co-morbidities like obesity (BMI p=0.971), hypertension (p=0.927), diabetes mellitus (p=0.822). The serum albumin was observed to be similar in patients receiving either thrice weekly or twice weekly hemodialysis (p=0.736). The URR and kt/v were marginally higher in patients receiving thrice weekly dialysis but with no statistical significance (p=0.938 for URR & p=0.615 for kt/v). Discussion and Conclusions: The biochemical indices of nutrition along with electrolyte imbalance and quality of life parameters observed with different frequencies of hemodialysis per week were identical over three consecutive months.

Authors: Edip Kefajet , Apostolska Roberta
Published: August 2024

The application of seismic design codes is crucially important for the seismic safety of the built environment developed in earthquake prone regions. However, there are also buildings built before the introduction of seismic design codes. Seismic risk assessment is a useful process which can help identify the seismic safety of the urban regions with buildings belonging to different periods. Defining the components of seismic risk; hazard, exposure and vulnerability is a very important step in order to obtain reliable seismic risk assessment results. The focus of this research paper is on defining the exposure model attributes in the case study Karposh. Characteristic for the case study is the fact that it consists of buildings built in different periods, before and after the introduction of seismic design codes. There are also buildings which have been structurally modified and resulted with mixed structures. The approach in the definition of the exposure model is based on urban planning aspects as well and the exposure model is defined according to two urban scenarios, scenario 1 - the existing site and scenario 2 - the planned site.

In this paper, the control of the geometry of a bridge located in Kula, Serbia, was performed. This bridge bridges the Danube-Tisa-Danube canal and is a part of road 108 that runs from Bačka Topola to the Croatian border. In order to perform the geodetic control of the bridge's geometry, terrestrial laser scanning of the bridge was conducted, where a point cloud was obtained as a product. The geometry control procedure involved controlling the verticality of the grooves that enabled the movement of the weights used to raise the bridge and allowed for navigation in the canal. The geometry control of the two horizontal beams of the bridge was also examined. The results that were obtained were interpreted tabularly and graphically.
OPTIMIZATION OF PURLINS CROSS-SECTION EXPOSED TO FIRE
Authors: Bursać Milan , Kostić Svetlana
Published: August 2024

In practice, consideration of fire protection for structural elements mainly occurs after the adopted dimensions of sections. However, this procedure leads to not the most cost-effective solution in general. To find the optimal solution, it is necessary to apply one of the optimization methods. The presented optimization of purlins RHS cross-section is performed with nonlinear programming available in widely used program Excel. The objective function is defined as producing the purlin at a minimal price, considering the price of steel, work, and fire-resistant paint. Limits are introduced to ensure the cross-section satisfies the ultimate limit state for permanent and transient load situations, as well as in case of fire. Besides the ultimate limit states, the limits are defined for serviceability limit states and for cross-sectional geometry. Optimization analysis for different ISO 834 fire durations is followed by a result comparison. It provides an overview of cross-sectional parameters that most influence the bearing capacity in case of fire. It is concluded that by increasing the exposure time to fire, the optimal solution becomes a section with a smaller perimeter, larger surface area, and a thicker layer of fire-resistant coating.

Authors: Borković Aleksandar , Jočković Miloš , Tatar Dijana , Milovanović Snježana
Published: August 2024

Two approaches for beam-to-beam contact modeling are considered in the paper. The first is the classic continuum approach with point-to-point contact discretization. The other is the coarsegrained approach where the physical intermolecular fields are applied for the modeling of interaction of continuous bodies. To describe the contact, the repulsive steric potential is utilized here. The advantages and disadvantages of both approaches are discussed, and the results are compared with those obtained in Abaqus. An involved computational simulation of multiple collisions between elastic beams is considered as a numerical example.

Descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional study. A non-probabilistic convenience sample of 100 students was selected. A questionnaire was applied to collect data on sociodemographic variables, health history, physical activity, ergonomic risk factors, stress levels and presence of osteomyoarticular injuries. The data were analyzed with descriptive and analytical statistics. The overall prevalence of osteomyoarticular injuries was 62%. No significant differences were observed by sex. The prevalence increased significantly with the year of study: First year (28%), Second year (32%), Third year (40%), Fourth year (48%). The most affected anatomical sites were: lumbar region (32%), shoulders (24%), knees (20%). A significant association was found between physical load (p < 0.01) and inadequate postures (p < 0.05) with the presence of osteomyoarticular injuries. No significant association was found between stress and osteomyoarticular injuries (p > 0.05). The prevalence of osteomyoarticular injuries in kinesiology students is moderate, especially in the last years of their degree. The anatomical sites most affected are the lumbar region, shoulders and knees. Physical load and inappropriate postures are the main risk factors.

Мақалада қазақ халқының дүниетанымы жайында ақпарат беретін белгілердің бірі болып табылатын сандар мен түр-түске байланысты түсініктері қарастырылады. Халық нанымынан хабар беретін мұндай таңбалар халықтың өмір сүрген ортасы мен салтына байланысты қалыптасып отырғанын байқауға болады. Әлемде қай халықтың болмасын ғасырдан-ғасырға жалғасып отырған дәстүр-ғұрпында, мәдениеті мен сенімінде табиғи күштерді қабылдап, түсінуіне байланысты ерекшеліктері көрініс беріп отырады. Зерттеудің мақсаты халық дүниетаны мен мәдениетін, тарихын зерттеуде дереккөз қызметін атқаратын, ақпараттар мен мәліметтерді бойына сіңірген түр-түстер мен сандық белгілердің мәнін ашу. Зерттеу мақсатына сәйкес түр-түс пен сандық символдар таным құралы және әлемді тануға негізделген белгілі образдар мен абстрактілі ұғымдарға негізделеді. Осыған сүйене отырып, әр халықтың тұрмыс- тіршілігі, дүниетанымы, дәстүрі, ұлттық бояуы және т.б. факторлардың түс қабылдауына әсерететінін көреміз. Түсті символдық қабылдануы өте маңызды: көк түс аспанмен, сумен, жасыл түс – өсімдікпен, қызы – отпен және т.б. Зерттеудің методологиялық негізін тарих және филологиялық ғылымдары принциптері мен әдістері құрайды; сондай-ақ жалпы ғылыми және тарихи-салыстырмалы, сипаттау және т.б. тәрізді тарихи әдістер қолданылды. Нәтижесі. Кеңістік пен уақытты, табиғатты, сондай-ақ қоғам мен адам арасындағы қарым-қатынасты көрсететін филососфиялық, логикалық категория қатарында саналатын түр-түс пен сандық белгілерді халықтық дүниені тану, табиғи құбылыстарды қабылдау, өмір сүрген ортасын, географиялық орналасуы мен табиғатын көрсетуде символдық көрсеткіш ретінде қарастырылды. Қорытынды. Түр-түс және сандық ұғымдар әртүрлі этникалық дәстүрлердің арақатынасы, халықтың тарихи жолы, қоршаған ортаның бояуы жайында мәліметтерді бойына жинаған мәдениеттің негізгі категорияларының бірі болып табылады. Яғни, кез келген халықтың ғасырлар бойы қалыптасқан мәдениеті мен дәстүріндегі түстер мен сандардың символдық мәнін анықтау – ғылыми қызығушылық тудыратын мәселелердің бірі.
