Published: February 2025

The worldwide occurrence of strokes reaches around 15 million cases per year while these conditions persist in more than 100 million patients at once. Worldwide stroke stands as the second main cause of mortalities since 88% of all stroke deaths occur within low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Emergency Medical Services establish critical intervention paths because they detect strokes early while providing immediate on-scene treatment and quick response times that directly affect patient recovery. The effectiveness of proposed quality indicators to improve prehospital stroke treatment remains unknown independently from other indicators. The research tackles the developing EMS functions in stroke management through an analysis which shows how prehospital triage tools together with telehealth integration and mobile stroke services shorten the door-to-needle period and improve patient treatment results. The potential of point-of-care diagnostic tools for stroke subtype identification gets investigated to identify their contribution to optimizing prehospital decision-making processes. The text examines crucial issues within prehospital stroke care such as restricted EMS service accessibility and minimal training support and inadequate evidence-based protocol data. The reduction of stroke mortality and improvement of patient recovery requires future research to focus on EMS collaboration with multilevel stakeholders through technology innovation and policy equality to optimize stroke management in underserved healthcare environments.

Authors: Nessa Maharun , Sultana Shuhana , Hossain Sharmin
Published: February 2025

The doctor-patient relationship is a fundamental element of medical practice that plays a crucial role in determining patient satisfaction and health outcomes. In developing countries like Bangladesh, where the healthcare system faces various challenges, understanding the doctor-patient dynamic becomes even more critical. This study aimed to assess the relationship between doctors and patients from the patients' perspective in a selected hospital in Bangladesh. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted over a one-year period with 422 participants aged 18 years and above. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire focusing on patients' perceptions of doctors' attentiveness, consultation time, clarity of medical explanations, and satisfaction with consultation fees. The findings revealed that 71.09% of patients perceived doctors as cordial, while 83.18% felt that doctors provided adequate consultation time. However, only 38.66% believed they received sufficient mental support from doctors, and a significant proportion of patients struggled to understand the prescribed medication and advice. Additionally, satisfaction with consultation fees was notably low, with only 23.70% of participants expressing positive feedback. These results highlight the need for improved communication and emotional support in doctor-patient interactions. Addressing these gaps could significantly enhance the overall quality of healthcare services in Bangladesh. The study provides valuable insights into the socio-economic factors influencing patient perceptions and emphasizes the importance of strengthening the doctor-patient relationship to improve healthcare outcomes. Future research should focus on broader samples across multiple institutions to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of this dynamic.
Mitochondrial DNA-based genetic variation of Anopheles aquasalis, a malaria vector in Venezuela
Authors: Herrera Flor , Ruiz Johanny , Pacheco César
Published: February 2025

The Plasmodium parasites are responsible for the severe public health malaria disease happening in Venezuela. In the year 2022, the estimated malaria cases in Venezuela were 178.000 with 190 deaths. An. aquasalis is the main malaria vector in the northern coastal part of Venezuela, distributed along the entire coast, from the Guajira Peninsula in the Zulia State to the Delta Amacuro State. This study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of the vector An. aquasalis from coastal regions of Venezuela through single strand conformation polymorphism markers of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase (ND5) gene. Adult mosquitoes were collected between November 2017 and December 2018. A 450-bp region of the ND5 gene was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction and tested for variation using SSCP among 358 An. aquasalis from seven localities near the coast of the States of Zulia, Falcón, Carabobo, Aragua, Miranda, Sucre, and Delta Amacuro of Venezuela separated by up to 1960 km. This study revealed that the populations of An. aquasalis in Venezuela are highly polymorphic, with high genetic diversity among 48 haplotypes detected throughout Venezuela and sorted into four clades. In addition, a significant An. aquasalis genetic population structure was found, apparently in response to geographical barriers and ecological differences.
Dimitrie Gusti şi reprezentările lui asupra Germaniei. O abordare biografică şi intelectuală
Authors: Buruiană Ovidiu-Ștefan
Published: February 2025

Supported by autobiographical sources and the correspondence of contemporary personages, the present research aims to reconstruct Dimitrie Gusti’s representations of Germany. Having spent almost ten years studying at the universities of Berlin and Leipzig, the German cultural environment was a formative factor for him, and became the obligatory point of reference for his scientific work. In addition, it was the place where, thanks to a group of friends who were also studying in Germany, he decided on the meaning of his public endeavours for social change. By following Gusti’s public career, I aim to understand the dynamics of this affective and intellectual connection, which can be seen as part of a broader pattern of the dilution of German academic influence after the Great War.

Dimitrie Gusti was drawn by the prestige that the German state and German culture carried at the end of the 19th century. After 1918, in a public climate dominated by the demonization of Germany and the Germans due to the horrors of the conflict that had just ended, he renounced his links with the space that helped form his intellect and identity. In the 1930s, he was reluctant to embrace the new Germany, “Hitler’s Germany” as he later called it in his memoirs, despite the attempts of the German academic establishment to lure him onto a platform of collaboration, attempts which concealed a plan to impose on and influence societies in Central and South-Eastern Europe. Although proclaimed Doctor Honoris Causa of the University of Leipzig (February 1935), Gusti was aware of the decline of the great German university system. And yet, even in the years of communism, he never renounced the traditional Germany of his youth, Goethe’s homeland and the country that had helped build European civilization.
The Peak of Dawn: A Parallel Mixed Method Exploration towards the Promotion of Family Planning

Published: February 2025

Teenage pregnancy remains a pressing social concern in the Philippines, with a crude birth rate of 5.4% among individuals aged 15-19, equating to 5,531 births recorded in 2022. This issue is often linked to the increased sexual urges typical of adolescence, which can lead to unintended pregnancies when young females are fertile. A community assessment conducted in November 2022 by third-year nursing students in selected barangays of Tagaytay City, Cavite, highlighted participants’ hesitance to discuss family planning topics. This research employed a Parallel Mixed Method framework to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) concerning family planning among 138 stratified participants, achieving a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.884. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were carried out with eight intentionally chosen participants to delve into their perceptions of the benefits and barriers to family planning, as well as interpersonal influences and self-efficacy. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and comparative tests, while qualitative insights were derived through **Thematic Analysis** following Braun and Clarke’s guidelines, facilitated by MAXQDA software. The results revealed alarming trends: participants demonstrated low levels of knowledge regarding family planning methods, maintained a generally positive attitude towards these methods, yet exhibited very limited practical application. Significant variations were noted between KAP scores and demographic characteristics, with a pronounced lack of awareness about available family planning services. Peer influence was identified as a critical factor affecting their views.To address these findings, the researchers recommend establishing youth-friendly and non-judgmental family planning services aimed at increasing knowledge and awareness among adolescents. Additionally, an informational pamphlet was created at the barangay health center as part of an initiative to promote reproductive health education effectively. This study highlights the urgent need for targeted strategies to reduce teenage pregnancies and enhance reproductive health literacy among Filipino youth.
Intrinsic Religiosity, Self-Efficacy, and Resilience: Impacts on Teacher Well-being and Retention
Authors: Kuncoro Sigit Wardoyo Budi , Putranta Martinus Parnawa
Published: February 2025

This study analyzes the influence of intrinsic religiosity, self-efficacy, and resilience on well-being and its impact on the intention to stay among teachers working in schools affiliated with a particular religion in Java. It also examines the mediating roles of self-efficacy and resilience in the relationship between intrinsic religiosity and well-being. Using a quantitative method with an explanatory approach, data were collected through a questionnaire survey involving 248 teachers and analyzed using the PLS-SEM model. The results show that intrinsic religiosity, self-efficacy, and resilience have significant positive effects on well-being. Self-efficacy significantly mediates the relationship between intrinsic religiosity and well-being. However, intrinsic religiosity does not significantly influence resilience, nor does resilience mediate the relationship between intrinsic religiosity and well-being. Additionally, well-being has a significant positive effect on the intention to stay. These findings provide empirical contributions regarding the importance of intrinsic religiosity and self-efficacy in enhancing teacher well-being and loyalty while highlighting the need to address teacher resilience in the workplace.

Identifying missing sources and reducing NOx emissions uncertainty over China using daily satellite data and a mass-conserving method
Authors: Lu Lingxiao , Cohen Jason Blake , Qin Kai , Li Xiaolu , He Qin
Published: February 2025

Abstract. This study applies a mass-conserving model-free analytical approach to daily observations on a grid-by-grid basis of NO2 from the Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) to rapidly and flexibly quantify changing and emerging sources of NOx emissions at high spatial and daily temporal resolution. The inverted NOx emissions and optimized underlying ranges include quantification of the underlying atmospheric in situ processing, transport, and physics. The results are presented over three changing regions in China, including Shandong and Hubei, which are rapidly urbanizing and not frequently addressed in the global literature. The day-to-day and grid-by-grid emissions are found to be 1.96 ± 0.27 µg m−2 s−1 on pixels with available a priori values (1.94 µg m−2 s−1), while 1.22 ± 0.63 µg m−2 s−1 extra emissions are found on pixels in which the a priori inventory is lower than 0.3 µg m−2 s−1. Source attribution based on the thermodynamics of combustion temperature, atmospheric transport, and in situ atmospheric processing successfully identifies five different industrial source types. Emissions from these industrial sites adjacent to the Yangtze River are found to be 161. ± 68.9 Kt yr−1 (163 % higher than the a priori), consistent with missing light and medium industries located along the river, contradicting previous studies attributing water as the source of NOx emissions. Finally, the results reveal pixels with an uncertainty larger than day-to-day variability, providing quantitative information for placement of future monitoring stations. It is hoped that these findings will drive a new approach to top-down emissions estimates, in which emissions are quantified and updated continuously based consistently on remotely sensed measurements and associated uncertainties that actively reflect land-use changes and quantify misidentified emissions, while quantifying new datasets to inform the bottom-up emissions community.
Simple Eulerian-Lagrangian approach to solve equations for sinking particulate organic matter in the ocean
Authors: Maderich Vladimir , Brovchenko Igor , Kovalets Kateryna , Seo Seongbong , Kim Kyeong Ok
Published: February 2025

Abstract. A gravitational sinking of the particulate organic matter (POM) is a key mechanism of vertical transport of carbon in the deep ocean and its subsequent sequestration. The size spectrum of these particles is formed in the euphotic layer by the primary production and various mechanisms including food web consumption. The mass of particles, as they descend, changed under aggregation, fragmentation, bacterial decomposition which depends on the water temperature and oxygen concentration, particle sinking velocity, age of the organic particles, ballasting and other factors. In this paper, we developed simple Eulerian-Lagrangian approach to solve equations for sinking particulate matter when the influence of the size and age of particles, temperature and oxygen concentration on their dynamics and degradation processes were taken into account. The model considers feedback between degradation rate and particle sinking velocity. We rely on the known parameterizations, but our Eulerian-Lagrangian approach to solving the problem differs, allowing the algorithm to be incorporated into biogeochemical global ocean models with relative ease. Two novel analytical solutions of a system of the one-dimensional Eulerian equation for POM concentration and Lagrangian equations for particle mass and position were obtained for constant and age-dependent degradation rates. At a constant rate of particle sinking, they correspond to exponential and power-law profiles of the POM concentration. It was found that feedback between degradation rate and sinking velocity results to a significant change in POM and POM flux vertical profiles. The calculations are compared with the available measurement data for POM and POM flux for the latitude band of 20–30° N in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and 50–60° S in the Southern Ocean. The dependence of the degradation rate on temperature significantly affected the profiles of POM concentration enhancing the degradation of sinking particles in the ocean’s upper layer and suppressing it in the deep layer of the ocean. The influence of oxygen concentration in all cases considered was insignificant compared to the distribution of temperature with depth.
Sargassum accumulation and transport by mesoscale eddies
Authors: Sosa-Gutierrez Rosmery , Jouanno Julien , Berline Leo
Published: February 2025

Abstract. The proliferation of pelagic Sargassum spp. (Sargassum) in the tropical Atlantic has significant ecological and socio-economic impacts. While large-scale ocean circulation patterns influence the basin scale distribution of Sargassum, the role of mesoscale eddies in their local accumulation and transport was not quantitatively assessed so far. This study investigates the relationship between mesoscale eddies and Sargassum dynamics using satellite observations. By analyzing 13 years of remote sensing observations, we demonstrate that both cyclonic and anticyclonic long-lived mesoscale eddies can trap and transport Sargassum. However, results show that in cyclonic eddies Sargassum cover is higher and tends to accumulate during their lifetime while within anticyclonic eddies the Sargassum cover is usually weaker and tend to decrease. These findings align with recent studies highlighting the role of eddies in shaping the distribution of floating debris and provide an important observational basis for the development of Sargassum drift models.

Published: February 2025

Abstract. Ocean mesoscale structures, which are parameterized in standard resolution models, play an important role in featuring global ocean dynamics. Here we study the effects of increasing model ocean resolution to eddy-resolving scales on the representation of the North Atlantic mean state, by comparing an ensemble of four HighResMIP coupled historical simulations with nominal ocean resolutions of at least 1/10° – corresponding to the models CESM1-CAM5-SE-HR, EC-Earth3P-VHR, HadGEM3-GC31-HH, and MPI-ESM1-2-ER – to a baseline of 39 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) simulations at coarser resolution. Despite a warm and salty bias at the surface, we find generally improved vertical stratification in the Labrador (LS) and western Irminger Seas (IS) in the high resolution ensemble, leading to stronger deep water convection in that region, in closer agreement with observations. Both the overturning and barotropic circulations of the North Atlantic present significant improvements in the eddy-resolving models: the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is weaker than for lower resolution models and closer to RAPID observations; the paths, strength, and structure of the Gulf Stream (GS), North Atlantic Current (NAC), and subpolar gyre (SPG) are also improved, resulting into reduced surface temperature and salinity biases north of Cape Hatteras (NCH) and in the Central North Atlantic (CNA).

Authors: Marian Maria-Liliana , Tuzlucov Sergiu
Published: February 2025

Post-consumer glass is a major component of solid waste. On the other hand, more than 100 million tons of coal combustion ash are generated every year in the world, of which 60 million tons are airborne. To deal with these problems, new materials such as: "glass concrete" and "fly ash concrete" have been proposed worldwide. These two materials have the potential to be produced practically entirely from recycled materials: crushed recycled glass as aggregate and activated ash as agent cemented binder.The combination of glassy waste and coal incineration ash provides a viable technology for the use of industrial waste combats this urgent problem, two innovative materials have been proposed for the use of rubber particles in the concrete structure, namely: "rubberized concrete" and "rubberized concrete with sulfur". In the case of rubberized concrete, the strength losses are minimized, and the shock resistance a of concrete is improved by surface treatment of rubber particles using coupling agents. In the case of sulfur rubberized concrete, waste rubber is mixed into the sulfur concrete, and the partial vulcanization process between the rubber and hot sulfur improves the strength of the concrete.

Published: February 2025

Advertising is a major force influencing consumer purchasing decisions. Ethics and responsibility in advertising are fundamental for creating effective and sustainable advertising messages. By respecting the principles of honesty, avoiding manipulation and promoting an inclusive and sustainable image, advertisers can contribute to a healthy advertising environment and build trustworthy brands. The sustainable success of a brand depends on its ability to adhere to these ethical principles, thus ensuring a balance between commercial objectives and responsibility towards consumers and society. Advertising messages in Moldova reflect a transition from traditional formats such as TV commercials and posters to digital and interactive campaigns. The use of local storytelling and creative formats play a key role in capturing consumers' attention and positioning on the market. Through an analysis of advertising messages and the legal framework, the study aims to determine how consumers can be protected from possible manipulative messages and modernize the advertising industry in the Republic of Moldova.

This article explores the prospects of classical continuum mechanics in the context of the experimental advancements of the 21st century and the concepts proposed by the renowned scientific school of Academician G. G. Cherny. The theoretical foundation of the study relies on the conservation laws of continuum mechanics, classical electromagnetic field theory, and Faraday’s lines of force observed in experiments. Faraday’s electric lines of force are presented as gradients of the electric potential. The magnetic field, generated by moving charges, is also represented through magnetic lines of force by introducing its potential and vortex components. In the stationary case, the theory simplifies to the unified Hooke – Newton – Coulomb law, expressed as a quasilinear Poisson – Boltzmann equation, which provides a unified framework for modeling gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak force fields. In the non-stationary case, the theory extends to an augmented system of Maxwell’s electromagnetic equations. This study offers a substantiated formulation of the future prospects of classical continuum mechanics and includes illustrative demonstration examples.

The impact of operating temperature on the mechanical properties of aircraft structures must be considered to ensure their weight efficiency. This study examines the structural configurations of compression-loaded power struts made with aluminum, titanium, and carbon fiber tubes. The optimal design of a power strut corresponds to the minimum mass of the tube, as well as its associated outer diameter and wall thickness. A carbon fiber tube provides high weight efficiency at operating temperatures up to 100°C, whereas a metal tube is more effective at temperatures exceeding 100°C.

Objetivo: investigar a relação entre o disciplinamento na formação dos policiais militares e a violência durante suas abordagens, destacando lacunas nos métodos de ensino e os impactos na sociedade e na saúde mental desses profissionais. Materiais e Métodos: a pesquisa, uma revisão integrativa da literatura, identificou 9 estudos que evidenciam uma formação centrada em valores ultrapassados de masculinidade, focando mais na preparação física do que no desenvolvimento interpessoal. Foi utilizado um formulário de coleta de dados para análise crítica dos estudos, composto pelas informações: título; autores; ano; local de execução do estudo; metodologia e delineamento. Resultados: a formação profissional desenvolvida nas academias de polícia examinadas reforça práticas que repousam no “combate”, em contraste a um novo profissionalismo difundido em grande parte do mundo ocidental, que busca o alto nível de educação policial e o estabelecimento de relações mais estreitas entre a polícia e a comunidade. Conclusão: o curso de formação dos policiais militares faz uso da pedagogia do sofrimento, estimulando práticas arcaicas e nocivas que perpetuam uma cultura de machismo e violência que causa danos físicos e psicológicos aos militares e reflete na maneira como esses profissionais abordam os cidadãos.
