At present, a subject of scientific interest is the interaction of immune systems and hemostasis. New data on their synergistic effect in various diseases have been obtained in the last decade, which allowed to introduce the concept of "immunothrombosis". Inflammation and thrombosis factors are capable of mutual activation and enhancement. A special role in these processes belongs to platelets, which are classified as cellular effectors of antimicrobial host defence. These cells are among the first to react to the pathogen when it enters the bloodstream. Platelet activation ensures the direct eradication of pathogens, the immune cells involvement, the formation of primary thrombi to prevent the spread of infection, and the coagulation system process start. However, microthrombosis can become uncontrollable and irreversible during continued activation. Platelet dysfunction may be associated with a hyperergic inflammatory response of the body and a severe disease course. Concomitant endothelial dysfunction intensifies hypercoagulation and inflammatory response, increasing the risk of systemic inflammatory processes. The review examines current data on the platelet role in the pathogenesis of infectious and inflammatory pulmonary diseases in children, including destructive ones. KEYWORDS: hemostasis, platelets, immunity, inflammation, pneumonia, children, neutrophil extracellular traps, microthrombosis.

Estimates of Atlantic Goliath Grouper (Epinephelus Itajara) Bycatch Mortality in Commercial Fisheries of the Southeastern Us From 2002 to 2022
Authors: Koenig Christopher , Coleman Felicia , Locascio James V.
Published: March 2024

Atlantic Goliath Grouper _Epinephelus itajara _is experiencing a population decline in the southeastern United States currently due to a combination of factors, including increasingly large and persistent red tides, loss of juvenile habitat, severe cold-weather events, and bycatch, the unintended capture by commercial and recreational fishers. In this paper, we review the extent of bycatch in the southeastern United States from 2002 to 2022 resulting from commercial fishing only based on data from NOAA Fisheries logbooks. We calculated depth-of-capture-related mortality based on known patterns of depth-related barotrauma and assumed that all captures deeper than 30 m that were unvented prior to release died based on observations of other researchers. The overall result is that 75% (14,124 of 18,770) _Epinephelus itajara_ captures died from both barotrauma and from inability of the fish to return to the bottom due to trapped swim bladder gas.

Authors: Swart Emetia , Schutte Flip
Published: March 2024

Private institutions in South Africa's higher education sector need effective marketing strategies to attract and retain students amidst competition. This article provides marketing strategies for Private Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) in South Africa to navigate a competitive landscape. The objective of the research is to determine the effective media and marketing activities for PHEIs to target a larger market share. The study involved 23 semi-structured interviews with students enrolled at three PHEIs in South Africa. The researcher conducted a thematic analysis to identify patterns from transcribed interviews. Codes were created for each theme, and similar topics were clustered. Microsoft Word and Excel were used for data interpretation and visualisation. ATLAS.ti 22, a CAQDAS software, was employed for further analysis and interpretation. The study suggests that PHEIs in South Africa should prioritise their online presence, websites, and participation in high schools and career fairs to target a larger market share. Marketers should create and adapt their marketing strategies to include various communication channels and methods. Positive word-of-mouth interactions also play a significant role in the marketing efforts of PHEIs, so marketers should focus on developing strategies that generate such interactions.

Authors: Akkaya Murat
Published: March 2024

Investor sentiment plays an important role in the all level of economic activities. Confidence as an indicator of investor sentiment has become an important and interesting concept in recent years. Confidence indicators are a way in assessing economic developments in the short term. The aim of this study is to analyze the long and short term relationship between the Real Sector Confidence Index and macroeconomic/financial variables for the period of January 2007 – December 2021. The Johansen Cointegration Test results prove a long-term cointegration relationship. Vector Error Correction Models for both macroeconomic and financial variables are statistically significant at the 5% level. In the short run, Manufacturing Capacity Utilization Ratio, Official Reserves, Domestic Debt Stocks, Real Exchance Rate, US Dollar/TRL Buying Rate, Non-Residents’ Stock Portfolio and Volatility Index have a statistically significant effect on the changes in Real Sector Confidence Index.

Published: March 2024

Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to determine and analyze the determinants of the capital structure of joint-stock companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina that are listed on the Banja Luka Stock Exchange. This study will answer the question as to which factors determine the capital structure of BiH companies and whether existing financial theories of the capital structure hold true in that context. The main research objective is to estimate the effects of a firm’s level determinants on its capital structure measures in different ownership structures. Those findings will certainly advance our understanding of listed companies financing behavior. Methodology. For the research, we took into account firm-specific characteristics and divided joint-stock companies into private and state-owned. The results of the research show that the capital structure of these two groups of enterprises is differently affected by individual determinants. Findings and implications. While state-owned enterprises rely more on borrowed resources to finance both short-term and long-term assets, private enterprises even finance part of their short-term assets with their own capital. However, the most important determinant in both groups of enterprises is the share of inventories in short-term assets, which confirms that short-term liabilities, i.e. free sources of financing in the form of liabilities to suppliers are the determinant that most positively affect the indebtedness of all enterprises. Unlike previous research that observed enterprises according to their size or affiliation to individual industries, the focus of our research is enterprises of different ownership structures. The empirical statistical results provide basis for logical conclusion and appropriate policy implications. The study points to the specifics of the capital structure in private and publicly listed joint-stock companies. The stated opposite influence of certain ratios on the indebtedness of the enterprises is explained by a number of factors. Limitations. This study focuses only on the presentation of the recent indicators of capital structure of listed companies - listed on the Banja Luka Stock Exchange, which is one of its major limitations. The limitation of this search is the sample size which can be considered low. Further research may be conducted by using other capital markets to explore more information regarding the effect of the variables affecting the capital structure. In addition, further research may also be conducted by using other proxies or by adding more variables, sample size, and research period to get a better result. Originality. The study is an original research paper. It has not been published in any other peer-reviewed journal not under consideration for publication by any other journal. The paper adds to the existing literature on Bosnia and Hezegovina by giving an overview of recent developments in the flexi purity concept, pointing out the areas that require policy response.

Published: March 2024

Physiologically, elderly people undergo deterioration in various organ functions, such as salivary secretion and pH, which may influence their health. These alterations can lead to various problems, including Candida infections. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between salivary flow rate and pH with Candida colony counts in the oral cavity of elderly individuals. This is an analytical cross-sectional study that included 105 elderly patients visiting the Pancur Batu Health Center. Saliva was collected from each participant using the spitting method for 5 minutes to measure the salivary flow rate and pH. Then, the samples were cultured in Saboraud Citrus agar for 24-48 hours to observe the growth of Candida colonies, and the number was counted. Chi-square tests were conducted to analyze the data and determine the relationship between salivary flow rate and pH with Candida colony count. The result showed a significant relationship between salivary flow rate and excessive Candida colony count, as indicated by p.value = 0.03. However, there was no significant relationship between salivary pH and Candida colony count (p=0.59). In conclusion, the result of this study showed that the reduction in salivary flow rate may increase the risk of Candida infections in elderly people. Therefore, preventive measures have to be taken to maintain good oral hygiene and overall health of the elderly.

Globally we are witnessing the environmental demise of our planet. Simultaneously, consumers have shown a greater interest in shopping second-hand and the sustainable fashion industry is experiencing rapid growth, which is estimated to reach $8.25 billion by 2031 (Businesswire, 2020). This market acceleration led to the exploration of sustainable fashion social media influencers.Â 

Using semi-structured interviews with 20 sustainable fashion social media influencers, the research analyzes the ecosystem of sustainable fashion social media influencers and makes three unique contributions. First, the research introduces a three-part typology of sustainable fashion social media influencers: 1) sustainable lifestyle influencers, 2) sustainability influencers, and 3) thrifting influencers. Second, the research uncovers how sustainable fashion social media influencers perform vulnerability and sustainability failures in a strategy to portray curated authenticity. Finally, the research identifies â€œthe entrepreneurial dichotomy,â€ which refers to the challenge that sustainable fashion influencers face when they harmonize their ethos of sustainability and ethics along with their desire to leverage their social media platforms for profit.Â 
A Study on the Effect of Entrepreneurial Failure on Resilience, Entrepreneurial Passion, and Entrepreneurial Self-efficacy
Authors: Hossain Md Sajjad
Published: March 2024

Entrepreneurship, employment, social and economic development are interconnected and intertwining concepts. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy is one of the key antecedents of developing entrepreneurial intent. By working on the integrated model of Schlaegel & Koenig (2014) for predicting entrepreneurial intent, we explored how entrepreneurial failure relates to entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Additionally, we included resilience and entrepreneurial passion in the study for their potential mediating roles. The structural equation modeling technique was deployed for data analysis. The findings of the study show that entrepreneurial failure is not bad in itself. It is actually good – and good for two different and equally strong reasons: it builds resilience and simultaneously reinforces entrepreneurial passion. Both of those, in turn, increase entrepreneurial self-efficacy.

Assessment of Plants Alkaloids Isolated from Calotropis Procera for Managing Pod Sucking Bug, Clavigralla tomentosicollis Stal (Hemiptera: Coreidae) Infestation on Cowpea
Authors: Audi Auwalu Hassan , Wada Y. B.
Published: March 2024

Crude plant extracts used to control insect pests are less specific and the active compounds may have antagonistic effects. The trials were thus conducted to assess the effectiveness of alkaloids from Calotropis procera in controlling the pod sucking bug Clavigralla tomentosicollis on cowpea. Three cowpea varieties, Ife brown, IT07K-318-33, and IT07K-292-10, were grown in beds assigned to four treatment groups: 500µg/ml, 250µg/ml, 125µg/ml, and 0µg/ml of the extracts as a control. Each treatment was replicated three times in a randomized complete block design. The findings revealed a significant decrease (p<0.05) in the population of C. tomentosicollis in the treated plots compared to the control. The highest level of protection was observed in plots sprayed with 500µg/ml and 250µg/ml, with no significant difference (p>0.05) between treatment and spray regimes (1-week after spray (1-WAS) and 2-weeks after spray (2-WAS). The average percentage of pod damage was significantly lower at higher treatment concentrations (500µg/ml and 250µg/ml) compared to lower concentrations and the control. There was no significant difference in pod damage among the three cowpea varieties. The relative adult mortality of C. tomentosicollis followed a similar pattern, with higher concentrations (500µg/ml and 250µg/ml) resulting in a significant decrease in ITOK-292-10 compared to other varieties. In the ITOK7-318-33 variety, there was no significant difference in mortality rates between treatments (500µg/ml, 250µg/ml, and 125µg/ml) and spray regimes. This implied that treatment of cowpea ITOK-292-10 with the higher concentration of the Alkaloid (2-piperidinone, N-(4-bromo-n-butyl) would yield an optimum level control of the notorious bug.

Mixing Materials for Integrated Photonic Innovation
Authors: Moynihan Owen
Published: March 2024

Photonics, an ever-growing field since the invention of lasers in the 1960s, has been applied in wide-ranging applications such as optical communications, sensing, imaging and more. Photonic integrated circuits (PIC) are the next step to take this technology and shrink it onto a semiconductor chip, leading to more compact, cheaper, and lower power consumption solutions. However, integrated photonics faces the challenge of lacking a single material platform that encompasses all the desired properties, unlike its more mature electronic integrated circuit counterpart which uses silicon with a standardised fabrication process known as complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS). To overcome this limitation, researchers are exploring hybrid and heterogeneous integration techniques. By combining the strengths of different photonic platforms, such as III-V materials for light emission, silicon for strong light guidance, silicon-nitride for visible light guiding, and lithium niobate for its modulating capabilities, integrated photonic technologies can harness the collective advantages and unlock new possibilities.

Die Abgrenzung von Bescheid und Verordnung
Authors: Herbst Florian
Published: March 2024

Die Unterscheidung individueller und genereller Normen verständlich erklärt Bescheide und Verordnungen sollen sich voneinander durch ihren Adressatenkreis unterscheiden; die einen stellen individuelle, die andern generelle Normen dar. So einfach diese Unterscheidung zu sein scheint - nicht selten steht der Rechtsanwender vor Abgrenzungsschwierigkeiten. Die vorliegende Arbeit geht diesen Schwierigkeiten auf den Grund und untersucht die verfassungsrechtlichen Vorgaben in Bezug auf Bescheide und Verordnungen und die Rechtsfolgen, die an diese Rechtsakte anknüpfen. Neben einer umfassenden systematischen Darstellung der Judikatur des Verfassungsgerichtshofs zur Wahl der richtigen Rechtsform setzt sich die Abhandlung mit verschiedenen Abgrenzungsmodellen auseinander.

The food system is in crisis, showing sustainability problems. This model coexists with alternative forms of food production, distribution, and consumption. This article aims to analyze how the health emergency affected the short channels for the commercialization of fruits and vegetables, reflecting on a solidarity intermediation undertaking that offers agro-ecological bags in the County of General Pueyrredon (Buenos Aires, Argentina). To do this, semi-structured interviews were conducted with those responsible for the venture, business premises and consumer nodes to understand the network established and the impact of the pandemic from different dimensions. The results show an increase in the local demand for food directly from producers and particularly agroecological ones, a situation that coexists with the closing of fairs, interruptions in circulation and the use of digital media.

The purpose of this study was to determine the analysis of stride length and walking speed in the walking gait of students who have ankle injuries. This study is analytical descriptive research with a one-shot case study design. The analysis through video recording of walking gait at 3 meters distance is analyzed using Kinovea software version 0.9.5. The total sample in this study used 27 people from students majoring in Elite Sports at Universitas Negeri Semarang who had an average age of 20 years and had historical injury by the physiotherapy data. This study's results indicated a significant difference between the stride length of people with a history of ankle injury and normal people. It was found that the results of the length of steps and the walking speed of students with a history of ankle injury averaged 1.22 m shorter than normal, which is 1.73 m in stride length. The data found the average speed was 1.135 (m/s) faster than ordinary people who get 1.59 m/s. Limitations in this study are only kinematic data was analyzed and need more kinetics data to complement the founding of this study. Further research is expected to be able to analyze walking gait at each angle in the leg segment which has contributed to improving walking performance.
CORRELATION ROAD GEOMETRIC ON ROAD DAMAGE

The implementation of safe road infrastructure can be defined by the minimum number of traffic accidents that occur on these roads. Traffic accidents can caused by several factors, encompassing the geometric attributes of the road, characteristics of vehicles, human elements, and environmental conditions. Previous studies have identified specific geometric features, including superelevation, degree of curvature, road slope, and shoulder type, as influential factors in traffic accidents. Simultaneously, the state of the pavement, characterized by issues such as rutting, potholes, IRI value, and skid resistance, also plays a crucial role in traffic accident. The interplay between road geometric and pavement conditions underscores the importance of effective road management for ensuring safety. Existing research highlights a correlation between road geometric and road damage, with the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) directly correlating with road and shoulder width, and inversely correlating with transverse and longitudinal road slope. This phenomenon is, in part, attributed to heightened shear strain on narrow road shoulders and a reduction in the resilience modulus value of the subgrade on sloped roads.
Role of electricity generation
technology in the long-term energy sustainability of India
Authors: Anjum Aqsa , Chauhan Jahangir
Published: March 2024

Electricity distribution has become one of the most essential components of our society since the beginning of human civilization, relying on an abundant, reliable, and affordable power supply. Fossil fuels dominate the production of electricity (89.57 %), emitting 68.7 % of greenhouse gases, polluting water and soil, and depleting fossil fuels. Future energy needs are faced with growing demand for coal (772 million tonnes by 2040) and fluctuating fuel prices. The Indian power sector withdraws over 20 billion m3 of water, whereby coal power plants use around 35 % of freshwater. Among the seventeen sustainable development goals, Goal 7 emphasizes meeting the demand for electricity, the availability of clean fuels, and mitigating air pollution. In 2021, about 747 TWh of energy consumption was met by coal, oil (92 TWh), and solar energy (25 TWh). Renewable power would meet the world’s growing energy needs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, boost the economy, and strengthen the society. Therefore, renewable energy has gained global attention as a sustainable electricity source. For this, a thorough examination of the economic and social implications of electricity generation technologies must be carried out. This study discusses how fossil fuel-based electricity generation affects global health and the environment and helps achieve Goal 7 of the sustainable development goals. All sectors must work together to stop global warming and water war and make electricity available worldwide for integrated development.
