Health Effects of Heavy Metal Contamination in Drinking Water
Authors: Lubal Maruti J.
Published: April 2024

Water is essential for life, be it the life of animals, plants or human beings. It’s our prime duty to protect, manage and preserve the quality of water. Uncontrolled anthropogenic activities have resulted in contamination of fresh water resources thereby affecting the health of living beings. Rampant industrialization is a major environmental problem on the global scale for the pollution of fresh water with toxic effluents containing heavy metals. Contamination of surface water by heavy metals is the greatest quality issues because of their toxic nature, increased release and negative impact on the health of human beings. Water-borne diseases remain one of the major health concerns in the world. Heavy metals are individual metals and metal compounds that can impact human health. Exposure of humans to metals such as antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, selenium, silver, tin, zinc, etc results in chronic and acute toxicities. The toxicity of heavy metals depends on their concentration, period of exposure and route of exposure. Humans are exposed to heavy metals either by inhalation from the atmosphere, intake through drinking water, or by ingestion through the skin by dermal contact. The present review describes the analysis of ‘heavy metal contamination in drinking water’ with reference to definition, sources, health effects on humans and preventive measures. This study suggests that, the best way to get rid of heavy metal contamination in drinking water is to remove toxic heavy metals by using the best water purification system. Also, the ground water resources must be monitored for quality assessment, source identification and bioremediation of heavy metals.

Authors: Hopyar Zehra
Published: April 2024

Göçe güvenlik perspektifinden yaklaşılması sığınmacıların terörle ilişkilendirilmesine neden olmuştur. Bu bağlamda Avrupa Birliği de iç sınırlarda serbest dolaşımın olduğu dış sınırların duvarlarının düzensiz göçmenlere yükseltildiği bir sistem kurma yoluna gitmiştir. Buna yönelik çok sayıda antlaşma imzalanmış, programlar oluşturulmuş ve aşamalı bir biçimde Frontex’in kurulma sürecine gelinmiştir. Avrupa Birliği’nin dış sınırlarının güvenliğinden sorumlu kurum haline getirilen ve yıllar içinde giderek güçlenen Frontex hava, deniz ve karadan yürüttüğü operasyonlar sırasında insan hakları ihlallerine neden olmaktadır. Bu insan hakları ihlalleri geri itme ve geri göndermenin içinde bulunduğu insan onuruna yakışmayan ve temel hakları hiçe sayan uygulamalardır. Çalışmada Frontex tarafından yürütülen sınır güvenlik politikalarının doğurduğu insan hakları ihlalleri ortaya konularak neden sonuç ilişkisi içinde anlaşılmaya çalışılmaktadır. Çalışmada internet yoluyla gerçekleştirilen veri analiz türlerinden olan ikincil araştırma benimsenmiştir. Son yıllardaki gelişmeler neticesinde özellikle Yunanistan sınırındaki geri itmeler, Libya’ya geri göndermelerin yoğun biçimde yaşandığı bu uygulamaların bir kısmı Frontex tarafından gerçekleştirilirken bir kısmı da üye ülkelerin eylemlerine göz yumma ve destek olma şeklinde gerçekleştiği sonuçlarıyla karşılaşılmıştır. Çalışmanın bir başka sonucu da somut kanıtlara rağmen Frontex’in denetlenememesinden dolayı yaşananların devam edeceğine yönelik yaygın kanıdır.

Published: April 2024

Background: Early and appropriate antidotal therapy is crucial for patients with organophosphate poisoning. Objectives: Given the lack of a comprehensive consensus on the optimal dose of pralidoxime for patients with organophosphate poisoning, this study aims to develop a machine learning-based prediction model to determine the individualized pralidoxime dose for these patients. Methods: The dataset was divided into training and test sets with a 70:30 ratio. Feature selection was conducted using Pearson’s correlation coefficient (filter approach) method. Both classification and regression were employed to develop the prediction model using the selected features. The performance of the developed models was evaluated using ten-fold cross-validation and various metrics, including sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, F1-score, and AUC. The models were implemented and assessed using the scikit-learn library in Python. Results: After applying exclusion criteria, data from 325 patients were utilized to train and test the machine-learning models. In the classification approach, the random forest method achieved superior performance with an AUC of 98.6. In the regression approach, the gradient boosting regressor, with an R2 value of 65.4, outperformed other algorithms. Feature selection revealed that muscular weakness, plasma cholinesterase activity, and blood urea nitrogen were the most significant predictors of pralidoxime dose in the classification model. In the regression model, the top predictors were age, HCO3-VBG, and atropine bolus. Many of the selected features coincide with those identified in previous studies, with muscular weakness being particularly significant in both models. Conclusions: The most effective algorithms could be employed to develop a clinical decision support system for personalized pralidoxime dosage prediction in patients with organophosphorus poisoning. However, the study is constrained by its small sample size, retrospective design, and the absence of an external validation cohort. Conducting a prospective multicenter study with a larger sample size is crucial to validate the findings of this study.

Svensk byggindustri genomgår en strukturomvandling och stora delar av produktionen läggs idag ut på entreprenad till svenska och utländska företag i strävan efter organisatorisk flexibilitet. Genom etnografiska observationer och intervjuer från byggarbetsplatser analyserar jag hur arbetet organiseras inom två företag och hur de resonerar i sin användning av underentreprenörer. Med utgångspunkt i organisationsteori visar jag hur nya former av arbetsorganisation och informella bemanningsstrategier såsom maskerad bemanning möjliggörs genom användandet av underentreprenörer och systemet med utstationering. Analysen visar dessutom hur maskerad bemanning bör förstås som både avsiktliga och oavsiktligt framväxande strategier.
Biblical Foundations for Business Ethics
Authors: Havryliuk Tetiana ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: April 2024

The article explores biblical sources of ethics principles of business. It demonstrates that in the contemporary pluralistic world, principles of biblical business ethics can be valuable in the communication and interaction among representatives of different countries and cultures, as they encompass fundamental foundations for building business relationships. Due to the influence of Christian morality on the culture of many nations, biblical values have the potential to significantly impact individuals and their economic behavior, contributing to the dissemination of important economic categories in society. The study reveals that important anthropological foundations for fruitful economic relations have been formed within the framework of biblical theocentrism, including considerations of human dignity, honesty, diligence, responsibility, and charity. The biblical perspective on property as a temporary stewardship has significant implications for awareness and education about responsibility not only towards other people but also towards the environment, holding crucial relevance in the context of corporate social responsibility in the modern world.
Corporate Ethos and Justice as Fairness
Authors: Nnodim Paul ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: April 2024

This paper explores the integration of John Rawls’s (1921–2002) theory of “justice as fairness” into corporate social responsibility (CSR). It accentuates the shift from solely focusing on profit maximization to a model that prioritizes ethical governance and sustainable development. The paper reinterprets Rawls’s theory for corporate ethics and governance, asserting that businesses have a moral obligation to uphold fairness and equity beyond mere compliance or public perception. It acknowledges the role of the government in this integration. It recognizes the challenges in aligning Rawlsian principles with corporate objectives while balancing economic and societal obligations. The fusion of CSR with Rawlsian ideas can potentially bring transformative impacts to businesses, paving the way for a more equitable form of capitalism that combines economic goals with a strong commitment to social justice and ethical practices.
Batch size impact on enset leaf disease detection
Authors: Asfaw Temesgen A.
Published: April 2024

Enset, also known as the “false banana,” is a staple food in southern and southwestern Ethiopia that could potentially alleviate poverty among smallholders. Recently, a bacterial wilt disease that damages enset leaves has resulted in massive economic losses for farmers. The use of deep learning for automated plant leaf disease diagnosis in crops has grown in popularity in recent years; however, the impact of hyperparameter selection, particularly batch size, on model performance in the context of enset leaf disease detection remains unidentified. In this research, we looked at how batch size affects the effectiveness of a deep learning model to detect enset leaf disease. The study investigated how different batch size settings affected model performance during the detection of enset leaf disease. To confirm this, five commonly used batch sizes [16, 32, 64, 128, and 256] were combined in the proposed experiments. For the study, we have collected a total of 2132 infected and healthy leaves of enset from the south-west area of Ethiopia. Before training the convolutional neural network (CNN) model, the images in the dataset are preprocessed to enhance feature extraction and consistency. Based on the results of the experiments, we determined that the model’s efficiency was even better, but only when the batch size employed in the model was less than the size of the test dataset. The study uses deep learning to detect bacterial wilt in enset leaves and provides academics and practitioners with heuristic information to help boost enset production when CNN is used in agriculture

Occupational Structure of Population in the Malaprabha River Basin, Karnataka State, India; A Geographical Approach
Authors: Chitragar Suresh L.
Published: April 2024

Changes in the size, composition, and distribution of the population are closely associated with the demographic structure of the workforce. On the other hand, the workforce participation rates vary according to the stages of economic development, across cultures, age groups, and between sexes (R. B. Bhagat and K. C. Das, 2008). It is an indicator of a growing society (Pant, 1992). Thus, occupational structure is the most important demographic aspect in explaining the economic well-being structure of the inhabitantsof the region. The occupational structure, in turn, is influenced by the participation rates and related features, such as the growth and levels of farm and rural non-farm activities. An attempt is made in this study to examine the emerging trends in the occupational structure of the population in the Malaprabha River Basin area from 1971 to 2011. More specifically, the spatio-temporal analysis of the work participation rates in total and farm sectors among males and females in the talukas of the study area This study is based upon secondary sources of data, and though the study area is a natural region, the talukas or tehsils have been taken as units of study. The findings suggest that there are undoubtedly significant changes in work participation rates between farm and non-farm sectors and between males and females in the study area. To overcome this context, some developmental policies such as youth employment is one of the prime focus areas of SHGs. This can bring prosperity to workers in far-off rural areas.

Measurement of agricultural productivity and levels of development in the Malaprabha river basin, Karnataka, India
Authors: Chitragar Suresh L.
Published: April 2024

The present paper attempts to analyze the spatial patterns of agricultural productivity and assess regional disparities in the levels of agricultural development in the Malaprabha river basin, Karnataka state. The Malaprabha river basin is one of the natural regions, with agriculture being the lifeline activity of the inhabitants of the basin. However, surprisingly, the region experiences greater regional disparities in overall development in general and agricultural development in particular. Regional disparities in the river basin may be natural due to unequal distribution of natural resources or man-made in the sense of neglect of some regions and preferences for others for investment and infrastructural facilities, and to some extent, the developmental policies of the region. The present study has utilized the published sources of data and reports collected from the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Govt. of Karnataka, the Directorate of Census Operations in Karnataka, Govt. of India, Bangalore, and other related statistical records at taluka level at two points in time, i.e., 1993–94 and 2013–14. Though the study area is a natural region, the taluka has been taken as the smallest unit of study. The findings suggest that significant disparities have extensively affected the various aspects of agricultural development in the talukas of the river basin. The areas with a low level of development should be given top priority so that they may come up at par with the developed areas and the concept of planning with social justice may be fulfilled.

The objectives of this theoretical review, which simultaneously articulates applied research, are the following: a-communicate a theoretical and practical synthesis of Territorial Justice in Latin America, b-introduce the knowledge of some perspectives of Bioethics related to Territorial Justice, and c-analyze and recognize some aspects in common between Territorial Justice and Bioethics with the purpose of transforming dialogues of knowledge into dialogues of doing. With contributions from teachers in transformation theories and in Participatory-Action-Research, as well as territorial and environmental theories, the pollination of this group of more than 1500 people for almostfour decades emphasizes methods, techniques and concrete useful devices; so that we can make our utopias come true and thus walk through new ones, always from a rigorous, popular, emerging and transforming science. This publication has the goal of inviting to solidify the bridges between these two disciplines–one in development, the other more developed–so that together they can accompany in the coming decades the concrete work of a number of other sciences that produce invaluable contributions to knowledge, and a more respectful human evolution of the Planet and its beings. The receptivity in the work from other disciplines will be more than favorable if from the Territorial Justice and Bioethics we manage to land theoretical, axiological and epistemological principles, with specific scientific devices, methods and techniques to achieve it. In this short text we communicate and propose clues for it.
Planeta y humanidad : la importancia del vínculo desde una perspectiva bioética
Authors: Aguirre-Ruiz Cindy M.
Published: April 2024

Humanity and planet, we are beings linked par excellence. Accordingly, the understanding and action that we have in favor of their continuous and positive interaction, will attribute to each species tools to promote itself and the others. So that, the fight for the common good, it leads us to think about the procedure of a world ethic based on the planetary or global experience of the care and preservation of human life and the world. We are not alone; we need a fraternal conception. We need training proposals that configure the importance of living human rights and duties, but also the ecological-planetary ones. Therefore, promoting spirituality from the experience of tools such as compassion, justice, forgiveness, encounter, cooperation, and restoration, will give rise to conceiving a planetary pedagogy that favor the teaching and learning processes between people and planet earth. It is then, that think an ethic that promotes otherness, from the synergies that are favored from the interdisciplinarity becomes an answer in the transformation of the future that is already coming.
Sociedad, educación y organizaciones desde la perspectiva bioética
Authors: Quintero Contreras Sigifredo
Published: April 2024

There is a belief in society that bioethics is beyond their reach and understanding because it is “something” related to medicine. The foregoing as a consequence of the close bioethics-medicine relationship since the origin of the former. Its creators had defined bioethics as a bridge to the future, a bridge between science and ethics, in such a way that the progress of one would not lose sight of the other, because if this happened, the consequences would be catastrophic. Techno-scientific advances generate opportunities and risks, which become social challenges in the face of human vulnerability and the organizations that manage techno-scientific projects. Some entities have placed greater emphasis on their particular interests, using unethical means in order to achieve their purposes of obtaining profits at all costs. Thus, the organizations have been questioned by society in general, without obtaining greater responses from them in the face of constant questioning related to their unsupportive behavior. Through proper education and understandingof bioethics by society, transformations leading to the consolidation of fairer communities will be achieved. Bioethics, education, organizations and society are the pillars that will allow achieving and maintaining the balance between technoscience and ethics.
THE BOOK OF ACTS: FOUNDATIONAL ISSUES
Authors: Firth Peter
Published: April 2024

This article focuses on two issues that relate to the study of the book of Acts: the literary relationship between the third Gospel and the book of Acts and the purpose Acts. Often deemed as “introductory” or “foundational matters”, clear thinking on these areas is essential for a correct understanding and interpretation of Acts (and indeed the third Gospel). The article examines and evaluates various scholarly proposals about both issues before drawing certain conclusions. With respect to the issue of literary relationship, the discussion follows the four-fold schema set out by I.H. Marshall. It concludes that the Third Gospel and Acts are best viewed as a two-volume work. With respect to the issue of purpose, six distinct proposals are investigated and assessed before concluding that the main purpose of Acts (and the third Gospel) is pastoral in nature. Whilst recognizing that this is the strongest of the six proposals, it does not exclude the possibility of subsidiary purposes.

A praia da Vagueira está localizada no Município de Vagos, distrito de Aveiro e é protegida por uma estrutura de defesa frontal aderente que foi requalificada em 2015, com alteamento da sua cota de coroamento para + 10 m (ZH), devido à ocorrência de inundações na zona por ela protegida. Para caracterizar o galgamento com a estrutura atual, aplicou-se o modelo numérico SWASH a uma secção desta estrutura, simulando-se os temporais ocorridos entre 1979 e 2018 que, segundo as fórmulas comumente utilizadas para este tipo de estrutura, dariam galgamentos significativos. Assim, nesta comunicação apresenta-se o modelo utilizado, as características da estrutura de defesa aderente e as condições de agitação e nível de mar utilizadas nas simulações. Os resultados obtidos com o SWASH são comparados com os resultados de várias fórmulas empíricas. Para todas as condições testadas, as fórmulas empíricas apresentam sempre caudais médios de galgamento não nulos, enquanto o SWASH apenas origina caudais médios de galgamento superiores a zero quando o espraiamento máximo não atinge o coroamento da estrutura. Consequentemente, a utilização dos resultados das fórmulas empíricas para a emissão de alertas pode conduzir a situações de alarme que não correspondem à realidade.

É hoje consensual que a alteração dos regimes naturais de caudais promovida pela ação do homem é uma das principais pressões sobre os ecossistemas fluviais a nível mundial. Por esse motivo, e para mitigar os impactes dessas pressões sobre os ecossistemas aquáticos e ribeirinhos, têm vindo a ser desenvolvidos esforços continuados no sentido de quantificar os regimes de caudais mínimos a manter a jusante das infraestruturas hidráulicas, denominados por caudais ambientais ou ecológicos. As características ecohidrológicas dos rios da Península Ibérica, dependentes das grandes variações dos caudais naturais, condicionam a utilização direta de muitos dos métodos existentes para determinação de regimes de caudais ecológicos (RCE), sendo por isso necessário identificar e adotar abordagens adequadas às condições existentes nas massas de água portuguesas. Por outro lado, muitos rios portugueses são impactados por infraestruturas hidráulicas, sendo necessário, naquelas que ainda não os possuem, implementar RCE eficazes, incluindo, se necessário, a instalação dos dispositivos hidráulicos requeridos para descarga desses caudais. Com esse propósito, foi desenvolvida uma abordagem hierárquica para determinação de RCE em Portugal Continental, apresentada na forma de um Guia Metodológico. A abordagem hierárquica desenvolvida engloba as seguintes três etapas sequenciais: aplicação do método hidrológico desenvolvido no âmbito do PNA 2002 (primeiro nível); aplicação do método do Perímetro Molhado e/ou da metodologia IFIM (segundo nível); e aplicação de um método holístico (terceiro nível). A aplicação do primeiro nível deve ocorrer no decurso do licenciamento de projetos de barragens/açudes em fase de Estudo Prévio, enquanto os níveis superiores podem ser aplicados em fases posteriores do projeto, na sequência de avaliações ambientais favoráveis. Nos casos de maior complexidade, a aplicação do terceiro nível da abordagem proposta permitirá um maior suporte à decisão sobre o RCE a implementar. Integram ainda o Guia Metodológico, a estrutura base e o conteúdo dos programas de monitorização necessários para avaliar a eficácia de cada RCE, e a metodologia de caracterização hidromorfológica das massas de água alvo desta medida. Espera-se que a implementação da abordagem hierárquica contribua para alcançar os objetivos ambientais das massas de água portuguesas, através do estabelecimento de RCE adequados à manutenção dos valores ecológicos dos sistemas fluviais existentes, contribuindo ainda para um licenciamento mais claro e célere de novas infraestruturas hidráulicas transversais.
