Published: February 2025

Abstract Background Early recognition of peripheral tissue perfusion deficits can minimize secondary complications of peripheral arterial disease in individuals with diabetes. Objectives To compare parameters of peripheral tissue perfusion in the leg at rest and during and after progressive effort between non-diabetics and individuals with type 2 diabetes and normal ankle brachial index values, as well as to evaluate the factors associated with peripheral tissue perfusion in the leg in individuals with type 2 diabetes during progressive effort. Methods This cross-sectional study included 31 individuals with type 2 diabetes and 31 non-diabetics. Anthropometric measurements and physical activity levels were assessed in all individuals. Peripheral tissue perfusion was analyzed using near-infrared spectroscopy during an arterial occlusion maneuver and the Incremental Shuttle Walking Test. Results During progressive effort, the tissue oxygen saturation level was lower in the type 2 diabetes group (type 2 diabetes, 58.74 [56.27–61.74] than the non-diabetic group, 62.15 [59.09–66.49]; p = 0.005). There were significant correlations between tissue oxygen saturation during progressive effort and physical activity level (p < 0.0001; r = -0.681), total body fat percentage (p = 0.001; r = 0.590), segmental body fat percentage (p < 0.0001; r = 0.616), total skeletal muscle mass (p < 0.0001; r = -0.628), and segmental skeletal muscle mass (p = 0.001; r = -0.592). Conclusions Individuals with type 2 diabetes and normal ankle-brachial index values had worse tissue perfusion during progressive effort than non-diabetics, and there was an association between perfusion, physical activity level, and body composition in the type 2 diabetes group.
O contexto da produção de normativas na implementação da política de saúde indígena
Authors: Cerri Roberta Aguiar , Garnelo Luiza
Published: February 2025

O artigo analisa a implementação da política de saúde indígena por meio de um estudo exploratório de base qualitativa, focado nas portarias emitidas pelo Ministério da Saúde entre 2011 e 2022. A análise seguiu a abordagem não linear e inter-relacionada de ciclo de políticas explorando a interação entre portarias ministeriais, gestão do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e processos políticos na saúde indígena. Os resultados indicaram uma priorização da organização interna que favoreceu práticas da política distributiva de coalizão em detrimento de normas orientadoras da assistência aos povos indígenas. Conclui-se que a doutrina original da política de saúde indígena foi obscurecida pela adoção irrestrita da lógica gerencial e pela disputa por recursos, não permitindo que o Subsistema de Atenção à Saúde Indígena atue como um tipo singular de Atenção Primária à Saúde no país.

Portfolio Margining Using PCA Latent Factors
Authors: Du Shengwu , Nesmith Travis D.
Published: February 2025

Filtered historical simulation ( FHS )—a simple method of calculating Value-at-Risk that reacts quickly to changes in market volatility—is a popular method for calculating margin at central counterparties. However, FHS does not address how correlation can vary through time. Typically, in margin systems, each risk factor is filtered individually so that the computational burden increases linearly as the number of risk factors grows. We propose an alternative method that filters historical returns using latent risk factors derived from principal component analysis. We compare this method’s performance with “traditional” FHS for different simulated and constructed portfolios. The proposed method performs much better when there are large changes in correlation. It also performs well when that is not the case, although some care needs to be taken with certain concentrated portfolios. At the same time, the computational requirements can be reduced significantly. Backtesting comparisons are performed using data from 2020 when markets were stressed by the COVID-19 crisis.

Published: February 2025

Follow-up care is an efficient secondary and tertiary prevention strategy aimed at reducing the frequency of disease exacerbations, progression, and premature death. Objective. To comprehensively analyze morbidity among the working-age and above working-age population under follow-up care. Materials and Methods. This study utilized Federal Statistical Observation Form No. 12, “Information on morbidity in patients residing in the catchment area of the medical institution” (FSOF 12), and the Russian Statistical Agency data on the working-age and above working-age population in 2018—2023 for 85 entities of the Russian Federation. The results were statistically processed using Statistica for Windows 10.0 and R-studio software. Results. By the end of 2023, 8.525.2 cases of diseases per 10.000 people of working age and 10.766.6 cases of diseases per 10.000 people over working age were under follow-up care in the Russian Federation. The rate of increase of cases included in the follow-up care were positive in all federal districts of the Russian Federation. In 2023, 1.328.3 cases of diseases per 10.000 working-age people were removed from follow-up care across the country, by 5.2% more than in 2018. The number of cases removed from follow-up care among people over working age has also increased; in 2023, 1.195.2 cases were removed, 32.2% more than in 2018. Conclusion. A steady growth in the number of cases under follow-up care in the Russian Federation in 2018—2023 indicates the high relevance of this strategy, warranting further research to develop new organizational and methodological approaches for follow-up care and assessing their efficacy, especially for the working-age population.

Published: February 2025

Objective. To characterize and compare myokine profiles in patients with obesity depending on the presence of sarcopenia. Materials and Methods. The study included 77 patients with obesity examined at the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine of the Ministry of Health of Russia from January 2023 to April 2024. Sarcopenia was diagnosed using criteria including handgrip strength, skeletal muscle mass, and physical function assessment. Serum erythroferrone, irisin, myostatin, and interleukin (IL)-6 were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results. Thirteen (16.9%) patients demonstrated reduced handgrip strength; 22 participants had decreased appendicular muscle mass to body mass (AMM/BM) ratio. The AMM value correlated with serum concentrations of irisin (ρ=0.297; p<0.009) and erythroferrone (ρ=0.229; p<0.045). Serum concentrations of irisin significantly differed depending on the handgrip strength on the dominant hand (p=0.038), AMM value (p=0.036), and appendicular muscle mass index (ASMI, p=0.007). Serum concentrations of IL-6 were higher in patients with obesity and impaired muscle function (slower 4 m walking speed, p=0.073). Conclusion. In patient with obesity, sarcopenia is associated with myokine profile alterations. This could be due to the disrupted structure, reduced quantity, and disturbed function of muscles in sarcopenia.
Entre el humo y lo sagrado: conocimiento, usos y cosmovisión de Nicotiana tabacum entre los mazatecos de Huautla de Jiménez, Oaxaca
Authors: Pelayo-Delgado Paulina , Manzanero-Medina Gladys Isabel , Vásquez-Dávila Marco Antonio , Beltrán-Rodríguez Leonardo
Published: February 2025

Antecedentes: El tabaco fue usado y apreciado por considerable número de pueblos originarios en México y en el continente americano, empleado ritual y medicinalmente.
Preguntas: ¿Cuál es la importancia del tabaco como planta sagrada en la cultura mazateca en la actualidad y qué factores socioculturales explican su saliencia?
Especie de estudio: Nicotiana tabacum L.
Sitio y años de estudio: Huautla de Jiménez, Oaxaca, México. 2023-2024
Método: Se aplicaron 93 entrevistas semiestructuradas a jóvenes, adultos y adultos mayores. Se construyó un índice de importancia cultural (IIC) basado en 12 variables tangibles e intangibles. Se realizó un análisis discriminante lineal (ADL) para conocer las variables socioculturales que influyen en la preservación de los saberes, prácticas y creencias del tabaco.
Resultados: Existen 33 diferentes usos para N. tabacum, el mágico-religioso es el más referido. El IIC no reflejó la saliencia local de este recurso. El ADL separó los tres grupos etarios, y demostró que la edad, el idioma, y el ser partícipe de ceremonias en las que este recurso ocupa un lugar central, son las variables que explican estadísticamente (P ˂ 0.001) su preservación.
Conclusiones: El desconocimiento del valor histórico y cultural del tabaco lo destituye de su vínculo con lo sagrado, fomentando una visión dañina y suscitando su mal empleo. Los jóvenes desconocen la importancia de este recurso en cuanto su uso mágico-religioso, y no hay espacios de reproducción cultural que permitan su aprendizaje.
Joining the Dots: Theoretically Connecting the Vona du Toit Model of Creative Ability (VdTMoCA) with Supported Employment
Authors: De Bruyn Marna , Wright Jon
Published: February 2025

The Vona du Toit Model of Creative Ability (VdTMoCA) presents a framework for understanding client motivation and action in occupational therapy, emphasising the relation between motivation and action. Similarly, motivation to work is regarded as the primary and in some instances, the only eligibility criterion for inclusion in supported employment services. This commentary explores the potential theoretical link between the VdTMoCA and supported employment, primarily applied to the South African context. It is aimed at occupational therapists already familiar with the VdTMoCA. The following aspects of the VdTMoCA are theoretically applied to the context of supported employment: (1) motivation and action, (2) purposeful activity and (3) the use of graded challenges. It is tentatively concluded that the VdTMoCA may be compatible for use in supported employment at lower levels of creative ability. This would require that it is used as a means to enable participation in competitive employment, as opposed to raising the threshold for those considered appropriate candidates for employment.Keywords: Vona du Toit Model of Creative Ability, supported employment, motivation, action, purposeful activity
Cyberculture and Occupational Therapy: Creating Connections
Authors: Ferigato Sabrina Helena , Silva Carla Regina , Lourenco Gerusa Ferreira
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the contemporary challenges and possibilities that cyberculture adds to occupational therapy. This analysis is necessary because we are experiencing a gradual and irreversible virtualisation of our everyday life and actions along with the expansion of cyberspace.  The theoretical techniques of occupational therapy and the theories of Pierre Levy suggest that these challenges are at a minimum on two levels:  (1) the need to update our object of intervention, human participation and occupation in the context of cyberculture, and (2) the identification and creation of current demands and new methods of intervention, respectively, in this field that originate from the ethical, aesthetic, political and social shaping of human relations.
Key words: Occupational therapy, cyberculture, social participation, communication, human occupation

Mechanical Properties and Flexural Behaviour of Basalt and Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete Beams
Authors:   Research Scholar, Dept of Civil and Structural engineering, Annamalai University, India, Manoj D , Purusothaman M
Published: February 2025

Objectives: The intent of the study is to assess the strength and flexural behavior of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete beams containing both basalt fiber and polypropylene fibers. Methods: Basalt fibers were added in volume fractions of 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1% into the Polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete mixture. The mechanical properties of concrete, such as compressive strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity, were obtained for conventional concrete, polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete, and hybrid fiber reinforced concrete mixes through standard testing procedures. The right equipment has been used to do the measurements related to the aforementioned parameters. Findings: The introduction of basalt fibers and polypropylene fibers caused a significant effect on the compressive strength and flexural behavior of concrete beams. The results indicated that the inclusion of basalt and polypropylene fibers exhibited a maximum increase of 18.60% and 9.70% compared to the conventional and PP FRC respectively, a maximum increase of 32.29% and 26.11% in flexural strength compared to the conventional and PP FRC respectively. Novelty: The article reveals that inclusion of basalt and polypropylene fibre reinforced concrete in public spaces is a promising practice, since they are impacted by adverse environmental conditions, suffer surface degradation, and are the target of vandalism. It is clear that using concrete with improved characteristics will be advantageous.

Keywords: Basalt Fiber, Polypropylene Fiber, Flexural Strength, Fiber Reinforced Concrete, Deflection

The Concept of Environmentally Conscious («Green») Payments
Authors: Slatin R. V.
Published: February 2025

The paper analyzes approaches to determining environmentally conscious («green») payments. Under the broader approach, environmentally conscious payments include any payments that contribute to the internalization of negative environmental external factors, i.e., to cover the public costs associated with environmental protection arising from the activities of business entities. Under the narrower approach, environmentally conscious («green») payments include only nature conservation, i.e., a form of alienation of funds that is compensatory in nature. Such qualification will be possible if: a) the legal basis for the obligation to pay is the implementation of activities related to environmental pollution, and (or) b) the purpose of establishing payments is to provide financial support for measures aimed at compensating for damage already caused and preventing its occurrence in the future (this can be achieved both by «coloring green» and simply by indicating the purposes for which payments are charged). In the framework of the third — special — approach, not all environmental payments are environmental, but only «colored», i.e., having a strictly targeted nature (at the same time, the amount of received payments should be used to finance the corresponding expenses, and not their equivalent).
Application of the Most Favored Nation Principle as an Instrument of Financial Sanctions against Russia
Authors: Ryzhkova I. V.
Published: February 2025

The paper analyzes the regulatory legal acts of the USA, Great Britain, Canada and Australia, which became the basis for the abolition of the most favored nation status in relation to Russia in 2022. The hypothesis is examined that unilateral restrictive measures (financial sanctions) imposed by WTO member states to introduce additional customs tariffs in relation to other WTO members are illegal and violate the principle of non-discrimination in international trade. The paper examines the tendency to transform the goals and objectives of using the most favored nation principle and national treatment: from the original (removing barriers to world trade, opening new markets) to the current ones in the form of sanctions policy instruments. Manipulation of these principles depending on the economic interests of individual states is contrary to WTO norms. The approach of justifying financial sanctions by the aim of protecting essential national security interests through Article XXI (b) (iii) of GATT 1947 is criticized.
Industrial Secret Transfer via Smart Contracts: Addressing Arrow's Information Paradox
Authors: Schüler Schüler , Octaviano Delgado Busnello Felipe , Ricardo Yanzer Cabra Anderson
Published: February 2025

In the current state of the art, systems exist for the transfer of intangibleassets protected by Intellectual Property, consolidated through legal monopolies, either by attributive systems (such as patents and industrial designs) or automatically protected (such as copyrights andrelated rights). Some of these systems, or their respective methods, are described in scientific literature. Among these, some methods use blockchain technology, and a smaller subset (entirely contained within the former) also uses smart contract technology, though these areindependent tools. Although industrial secrets also constitute monopolies, the computerized or cryptographic solutions applied to other types of assets protected by different forms of intellectual property cannot be applied to these assets due to their sui generis nature, lackinga monopoly that exists independently of their non-disclosure. The need to maintain secrecy arises from Arrow’s Information Paradox, a phenomenon in which revealing the secret implies its transfer. This phenomenon hinders the potential transfer of industrial secrets and makes it impossible to adopt existing systems applicable to other types of intangible assets.

Authors: Kováčiková Nikola , Dědič Martin , Lorencová Iva
Published: February 2025

Modern 3D modeling technologies and geoinformatics have become pivotal tools in civil engineering research. This study explores the creation of accurate 3D building models using dense point clouds captured by drones, comparing their precision to traditional measurement methods. Dimensions were measured with a tape measure, laser, and 3D modeling software. Analytical techniques, including linear regression, mean absolute deviation, standard deviation, and Welch’s t-test, assessed the accuracy and reliability of the drone-based models. Results indicate that drones and 3D models provide a highly effective and accurate means of capturing building dimensions, with an average deviation of 0.46% compared to traditional methods.
La competitividad territorial sostenible dentro de un paradigma de post-crecimiento
Authors: Olaizola Alberdi Jon
Published: February 2025

Este artículo aborda la imperativa necesidad de replantear la noción de competitividad en el marco de la sostenibilidad territorial, destacando la insuficiencia del modelo socioeconómico actual centrado en el crecimiento para enfrentar los desafíos socioambientales contemporáneos. Propone un enfoque hacia un modelo de post-crecimiento, donde la competitividad territorial se redefine bajo los principios de bienestar social, equidad y sostenibilidad ambiental, alejándose del tradicional interés por el crecimiento económico. La aportación principal radica en sugerir estrategias prácticas para la transición hacia un desarrollo territorial sostenible, enfocadas en promover economías circulares locales, gobernanza participativa, y la adopción de indicadores alternativos que prioricen el bienestar y la sostenibilidad sobre el crecimiento económico. Este estudio está orientado a responsables de la formulación de políticas, investigadores y académicos interesados en la economía sostenible, así como a organismos internacionales y ONGs, proponiendo un diálogo entre teoría económica y práctica política para fomentar un desarrollo económico más inclusivo y sostenible.
Europe's quest for competitive sustainability
Authors: Bilbao Osorio Benat
Published: February 2025

At a time of deep transformations, Europe is at a strategic crossroads that will define its near and long-term future. Europe needs to honour its commitments to achieve sustainability, while adopting decisive action to regain economic competitiveness and secure social and territorial cohesion. Europe requires a holistic and comprehensive action plan with measures in several interrelated fields to secure its competitive sustainability. Proposed actions cannot be adopted or assessed in isolation, without understanding the possible effects and trade-offs they may have on all the dimensions of competitive sustainability. To this end, the European Union (EU) has set out an ambitious policy agenda that is in the making. The EU Green Deal has identified the necessary commitments and defined the roadmap to achieve our ambitious emission targets. An EU Green Deal Industrial Plan is supporting and coordinating actions to secure the transition of energy-intensive industries, crucial for Europe’s economy, and the development of a nascent net-zero technology industry that is subject to sharp policy intervention in different regions of the world. In addition, Europe is preparing a new European Competitiveness Deal inspired by the recent reports by Enrico Letta and Mario Draghi, that will include measures to truly fulfil the internal market and adopt an investment and reform agenda to support all businesses and sectors by boosting our digitization and innovation potential while defining a pro-innovation and pro-competitiveness regulatory framework. The implementation of this ambitious action plan requires strong cooperation and coordination between the EU and its Member States and their regions, and concerted efforts between the public and private sectors and the creation of strong public-private partnerships.

Źródła sensu pracy: kluczowe czynniki wspierające zaangażowanie pracowników
Authors: Samelak Oliwia
Published: February 2025

Sources of meaning in work: Key factors that support employee engagement. Many researchers highlight a strong relationship between the sense of meaning in
work and work engagement. However, few studies address the factors that most significantly
enhance employees’ sense of meaning and engagement in their professional roles. The goal
of the chapter is to determine the relationship between the four sources of meaning in work
(Schnell & Hoffmann, 2020) and work engagement (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003). This chapter presents a review of the literature on the sources of meaning in work, followed by the
results of quantitative research on the sources of meaning and work engagement in Polish
enterprises. Research conducted on a sample of 212 employees revealed that cohesion plays
a particularly important role in fostering work engagement but only three out of four sources
of meaning show a positive correlation with work engagement. Finally, the “Sinntrify Your
Work” tool (Hardering, 2024) is introduced, which supports sources of meaning in work at
both the individual and organisational levels.

Published: February 2025

Typology of well-being. Expert approach. The purpose of the research conducted and presented in this chapter is to identify
and understand the various dimensions of well-being in the context of Polish enterprises.
It analysed various dimensions of well-being in the context of Polish enterprises through
qualitative research. The focus was on understanding how employees and managers experience emotional, psychological and social well-being. Interviews were conducted with
15 experts from different sectors, analysing their individual experiences and perceptions
of well-being. The results indicate that emotional well-being, which is related to positive
emotions and satisfaction with life, is central to an overall sense of happiness. Psychological well-being, which includes a sense of purpose and autonomy, significantly influences
stress management and personal development. Social well-being, reflecting the quality of
interpersonal relationships, is essential for a sense of support and belonging. In addition,
the study revealed a new type of environmental well-being, related to sustainability efforts,
which underscores the growing awareness of and responsibility for the environment.

Authors: Bernaciak Anna
Published: February 2025

Ecopsychology – the contact of mental and nature and the challenges of sustainable development and the climate crisis. The chapter explores the intersection of ecopsychology and sustainable development in the context of the climate crisis. It aims to examine how ecopsychology can contribute to addressing contemporary ecological challenges by analysing theoretical foundations
and practical applications of this interdisciplinary field. The chapter employs a narrative
literature review and synthesises selected topics to illustrate the relevance of ecopsychology in fostering pro-environmental behaviour. It draws on historical, psychological, and
environmental perspectives to contextualise ecopsychology’s role in shaping sustainable
development practices. It suggests that reconnecting with nature can foster more sustainable
lifestyles, promote well-being, and mitigate the psychological impacts of the environmental
crisis. The chapter highlights the therapeutic potential of ecopsychological interventions and
their ability to cultivate empathy toward nature, which can lead to greater environmental
responsibility. This chapter offers an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the psychological aspects of environmental sustainability. It contributes to the growing body of
literature on how ecopsychology can inform sustainable development and offers practical
recommendations for integrating these concepts into various sectors.

Este artículo analiza el avance de la integración de las Inteligencias Artificiales Generativas a las plataformas, sobre todo la que se basan en los modelos de lenguaje grandes (LLMs). Estos cambios comienzan a alterar la manera en que se produce y utiliza contenido, se busca y procesa información, y se gestionan los perfiles de los usuarios. El objetivo del artículo es realizar un mapeo de los principales desarrollos de LLMs en Occidente y sus asociaciones estratégicas, de hardware supply o financieras con plataformas, productores de hardware y servidores de cloud computing. En tal sentido, se parte del lanzamiento masivo de Chat GPT como momento fundacional de esta nueva etapa y se recorren los principales usos y aplicaciones de transformers en los entornos platafórmicos. Si bien estamos atravesando los comienzos de la aplicación de esta tecnología de manera integrada, podría generar una profundización en la personalización algorítmica, modificando las formas de subjetivación humanas y favoreciendo las burbujas epistémicas en el plano cognoscitivo, además de concentrar la oferta y el desarrollo en el plano de la economía política. Es por eso, que se plantea la necesidad de buscar más formas de intervención humana en la curación de datos e incrementar la observancia activa –tanto civil como gubernamental– de estos sistemas y sus alianzas para evitar la concentración extrema y atender a los sesgos que pudieran generar efectos negativos en la cultura.

ABSTRACTThis study draws on the  Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework to investigates how digital vision, serving as a proxy for intention, influences the adoption of cloud accounting. Furthermore, it evaluates the consequent effect of this adoption on the economic sustainability of culinary Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the Yogyakarta Special Region. Using convenience sampling, a total of 163 culinary MSMEs that have adopted cloud accounting applications and digital payment methods were selected as the sample. The results of the study, analyzed using the SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares) technique, indicate that relative advantage, competitive pressure, and vendor support have a positive effect on digital vision. Moreover, digital vision drives MSMEs to adopt cloud accounting, which positively impacts economic sustainability. The organizational dimensions of top management support and organizational readiness were found to have no effect on the digital vision of MSMEs in the culinary sector. These findings have significant implications for MSME practitioners, the government, and cloud accounting vendors to support MSME sustainability.Keyword: digital vision; MSMEs; sustainability; TOE framework
