Published: January 2025

This study examines the comparison of job satisfaction between government and private sector employees. Labor is a legal category that defines an employee's employment. Employee satisfaction is defined as the evaluation of their performance and work environment. It includes not only employee satisfaction with salary and benefits but also satisfaction with job content, excellent leadership, relationships with coworkers, and so on. The article describes the labor market model, the private sector model, and the public sector model. Upon comparing the private sector and public sector models in the labor market, we discovered that each sector possesses unique characteristics. This study focuses on the differential impact of each type of fit on outcomes, dividing personality fit with a profession into two levels: education fit and competency fit. Correlation analysis, t-test, and multi-regression analysis were carried out to test a number of hypotheses. Using a survey, an analysis of the influence of the public and private sectors and a comparative analysis were conducted. We examined nine job satisfaction factors and found that public sector workers were more satisfied than their private sector counterparts. Education and technology boost careers, while supportive social policies enhance job satisfaction in the private sector.

Published: January 2025

Стаття присвячена дослідженню цифровізаційних трансформацій підприємницького середовища в контексті соціокультурної складової сучасного бізнесу.  Показана важливість комплексного підходу до інтеграції цифрових технологій у діяльність підприємства та управління ним, що супроводжується не тільки змінами у веденні бізнесу, а часто призводить  до перегляду самої бізнес-моделі. Обґрунтовано необхідність пошуку шляхів адаптивності діяльності бізнес-організації до сучасних викликів на основі змін в організаційній (корпоративній) культурі, розвитку нових компетентностей у працівників й готовності до постійних технологічних змін. Представлено характеристику основних складових цифрової трансформації сучасного бізнес-середовища, серед яких: інтеграція сучасних технологій, цифровізація бізнес-процесів, персоналізація товарів і послуг. Актуалізовано вплив, окрім технологічних інновацій, соціокультурного середовища на розвиток сучасного бізнесу. Відповідно виокремлено основні соціокультурні чинники цифровізації сучасного бізнес-середовища, до яких доцільно віднести: інноваційну культуру підприємництва, рівень цифрової грамотності населення, соціальні норми та сприйняття ризиків. Доведено, що успішність цифрової трансформації підприємницького середовища та бізнес-організацій суттєво залежить від здатності суспільства адаптуватися до змін та від їх сприйняття як можливостей підвищення ефективності бізнесу й покращення якості життя. Представлений аналіз темпів та рівня ефективності процесів цифрової трансформації у окремих країнах (США, Китай, Німеччина) за різних соціокультурних умов, що безпосередньо впливають на бізнес-середовище. На цій основі охарактеризовано чотири ключові моделі  цифрової трансформації світових компаній з урахуванням соціокультурного впливу: інноваційна; орієнтована на дані; інтеграції цифрових технологій у виробничі процеси; кооперативна. Доведено, що незалежно від відмінностей стратегій й підходів до цифрової трансформації підприємницького середовища, вони мають спільну рису: цифровізація розглядається як ключовий чинник підвищення конкурентоспроможності та довгострокового розвитку бізнесу на сучасному ринку з урахуванням важливої в умовах швидких змін соціокультурної складової. Обґрунтовано, що в Україні цифрова трансформація підприємницького середовища активізувалася у останні роки, особливо у сфері ІТ й фінансових послуг. При цьому визначено необхідність подолання  таких вітчизняних бар’єрів впровадження цифрових технологій, як слабка інфраструктура, обмежені інвестиції щодо цифрових ініціатив, низький рівень цифрової грамотності населення у окремих галузях і регіонах. Запропоновано розглядати соціокультурні фактори – готовність до інновацій та здатність до навчання – ключовими для ефективності цифрової трансформації підприємницького середовища за умови активізації державних ініціатив щодо розвитку цифрових технологій та їх впровадження в усі сектори національної економіки.

Authors: Qiu Yihui
Published: January 2025

With the advancement of technology, the path planning and navigation technology of robots is more mature than before. However, as the environment becomes increasingly complex, the limitations of traditional navigation methods are becoming more prominent. To overcome this challenge, reinforcement learning was introduced in the path planning problem. As a typical reinforcement learning algorithm, Q-learning does not rely on models. Among them, factors such as learning rate and discount coefficient have a significant impact on Q-learning results. Based on this, this article investigates the influence of Q-learning learning rate and discount factors on robot path planning in certain maps, explores the trend of the number of iterations required for robot training changing with learning rate and discount factors, and reflect the trend of the number of iterations changing with the learning rate and discount factor on the line graph, thus obtaining a universal conclusion, aiming to provide ideas for future research in Q-learning.

Authors: Lv Yihan
Published: January 2025

Efficient path planning is of great significance for mobile robots used in various applications such as logistics, healthcare, and autonomous navigation. However, traditional path planning algorithms such as A* often face limitations in computational efficiency and heuristic selection, which hinder their effectiveness in complex scenarios. This study addresses these challenges by implementing the A* and B* algorithms, comparing their performance across various heuristics: Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance, Chebyshev distance, and Octile distance. Therefore, a series of experiments are performed to analyze path length and computation time. The results show that the Euclidean heuristic consistently produces the fastest computation times, while the B* algorithm can significantly improve the performance of some heuristics. This study highlights the importance of heuristic selection in optimal path planning and provides valuable insights into advancing mobile robot navigation systems by providing insights into heuristic optimization of path planning.

Authors: Li Junqi
Published: January 2025

With the rise of the intelligent handling industry, palletizing robots are becoming more and more widely used in industry. How to correctly and accurately analyze the kinematics and trajectory planning of the palletizing process has gradually become the research focus of the industry. However, in the research process, there are still problems of non-correspondence between the kinematic positive and inverse solution results, discontinuous robot motion curves, and unstable motion. Therefore, in this paper, kinematic modelling analysis and path planning of Fanuc industrial robot m20id/25 are carried out using the Devanit-Hartenberg (D-H) parametric method and fifth-degree polynomial. The robot is also required to pass through different working points in different work stages to ensure stable variations of motion profile. The motion trajectory animation of the robot is successfully simulated using the Robotics Toolbox of MATLAB. Smooth and continuous motion curves are also obtained. The research of this paper has certain reference significance for the applications of palletizing robots in actual production environments. It also provides a theoretical foundation for the subsequent further research.

Published: January 2025

Green synthesis techniques are becoming more and more popular in nanotechnology because of their many advantages, which include great efficiency, affordability, and environmental friendliness. Here, iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) were prepared using the methanolic extract of Chlorophytum comosum leaf. The results were spherical and amorphous FeNPs, with a particle size of around 50 nm, as validated by SEM. Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis EDAX revealed the presence of Iron (Fe) in the sample. The peaks in the FTIR spectrum of aqueous extract of C.comosum at 3367.15cm, 2076.08cm, 2162.58cm, 1996.39cm, 2021.91cm, 475.58cm, 456.57cm,456.58cm, 418.05cm, 430.34cm, 410.21cm were OH, Carbohydrates proteins and polyphenols, Silicon Compound, Alkene conjugated triple bond, Aromatics, Silicon Compounds and Cycloalkanes. Methyl Orange (MO) was successfully removed from the aqueous solution by the synthesized FeNPs. Using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, it is simple to monitor the concentration of MO while using FeNPs in the presence of H2O2. After 6 hours, the synthesized FeNPs showed an 83% MO degradation efficiency. Additionally, several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as fungus species including Aspergillus were used to test the antibacterial and antifungal properties of these FeNPs. The results indicate that FeNPs have a bactericidal effect on both Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa (the zone of inhibition is 11mm to 16mm) and Gram-positive Staphylococcus epidermidis (the lowest zone of inhibition is 12mm and the greatest is 18mm). Additionally, the range of Penicillium's zone of inhibition is 12 mm to 17 mm, while the lowest and greatest zones of inhibition against Aspergillus Niger are 17 mm and 20 mm, respectively. The substantial bactericidal effect of these INPs on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as on fungi was demonstrated by the results of their antibacterial and antifungal activity. All things considered, ecologically friendly FeNPs can be a good option for several scientific domains, especially the elimination of organic dyes and the eradication of germs and fungus.

The main objective of this study was to underlie the growth impairment mechanisms in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. A total of 584 pertinent publications were found after a comprehensive search across four databases. Full-text publications (293) were examined after duplicates were eliminated using Rayyan QCRI and relevance was checked; seven studies finally satisfied the requirements for inclusion. A total of 1927 children diagnosed with IBD were included in this research; 1467 with Crohn's disease (CD) and 460 with ulcerative colitis (UC). Males were 1153 (59.5%). Growth abnormalities, especially in CD patients, are commonly observed in children with IBD, often appearing strongly before age fifteen. These growth issues, including height and weight retardation, are worsened by chronic inflammation and are particularly severe in children with low weight at diagnosis. Younger children, particularly those under ten, are more affected than older children, especially in cases of UC. Adolescents with IBD may also experience disruptions in the pubertal growth spurt, possibly due to hormonal imbalances, such as reduced insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) availability. Pediatric IBD is closely linked to growth issues, especially in children with CD and those diagnosed at a young age. Early diagnosis and proper management are essential to support normal growth and prevent long-term effects. Clinicians should monitor growth as a key indicator of disease impact and provide nutritional and medical support. Further researches are needed to identify the best strategies to address growth problems and help these children reach their full potential.

The aim of this study is to examine the bidirectional type 1 diabetes (T1D) & depression relationship, using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) to measure depressive symptomatology. A total of 760 pertinent publications were found after a comprehensive search across four databases. 375 full-text publications were examined after duplicates were eliminated using Rayyan QCRI and relevance was checked; seven studies finally satisfied the requirements for inclusion. We included seven studies with a total of 2518 patients, and less than half of them 1112 (44.1%) were males. Emotional distress from managing T1D, along with chronic hyperglycemia, fatigue, and related complications, intensifies mental health challenges. Sociodemographic factors like age and disease duration, as well as biological mechanisms such as inflammation, further influence this interplay. These findings underline the importance of integrated care that simultaneously addresses both physical and psychological health in T1D patients. This review emphasizes the bidirectional relationship between T1D and depression, where depressive symptoms worsen diabetes outcomes, and managing T1D exacerbates mental health challenges. Using the PHQ as a reliable tool to measure depression, the findings highlight the need for an integrated treatment approach that includes routine depression screening, psychological therapies, and collaborative care among clinicians. Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies to explore causality and understand the biological mechanisms linking T1D and depression.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate and summarize the available clinical evidence on the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib for the treatment of vitiligo. A thorough search across four databases identified 416 relevant publications. After removing duplicates using Rayyan QCRI and assessing their relevance, 204 full-text articles were reviewed, and ultimately, five studies met the criteria for inclusion were included. A total of 121 vitiligo patients were included; less than half of them 52 (43%) were males. Findings indicate that while tofacitinib alone has limited effectiveness, its combination with narrowband-ultraviolet B (NBUVB) phototherapy significantly enhances repigmentation, particularly in refractory cases, including acral lesions. Micro-focused UVB phototherapy also demonstrates high efficacy, with further improvements observed when paired with tofacitinib. However, a 16-week treatment duration may be insufficient for patients with inadequate responses to prior therapies, suggesting the need for higher doses or extended treatment periods. This makes a combination of tofacitinib and phototherapy promising as a therapeutic strategy against vitiligo, with cases resistant to all the modalities of standard therapy. As promising as these results read with significant repigmentation, full optimization of treatment duration and dosage will be imperative. These findings need to be further confirmed in future large, randomized controlled trials and long-term outcomes evaluated to definitely establish a standardized protocol for vitiligo management. These efforts will be essential to fully realize the potential of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors as part of a comprehensive, targeted approach to the management of vitiligo.

Prone positioning has certain benefits in improving respiratory parameters. Objectives: To study the effects of prone lying position and alternate nostril breathing in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted at District Headquarters Hospital Faisalabad, Pakistan. After ethical approval, patients between the ages of 40-80 were recruited with a diagnosis of COVID-19 and received supplemental oxygen. Thirty patients with COVID-19 were divided into two groups, group A opted prone lying alone and group B performed prone lying with alternate nostril breathing. Study outcomes were fractional oxygen concentration in inspired air (FiO2), partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), and general psychological status recorded at baseline and after one hour of re-supination. A paired sample t-test and ANOVA were applied to find between-group and within-group differences (p≤0.05). Results: Out of 30 patients, 16 (53.3) were male and 14 (46.7%) were female. The mean age ± standard deviation of the participants in group A was 57.58±10.4 and in group B was 59.21±9.589. There was a significant inter-group difference in mean scores for General Anxiety Disorder-7, 9.290±2.355 before and 4.677±2.224 after the treatment. The pretreatment mean value of FiO2 was 1.68±0.475; after treatment, the value was 3.45±2.119. A p-value≤0.05 was found statistically significant for all outcome variables improving respiratory parameters and reducing anxiety. Conclusions: It was concluded that prone positioning with alternate nostril breathing effectively improves (PaO2), (FiO2) and general psychological state in COVID-19 patients.

Objectives
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) in comminuted proximal phalangeal fractures.
Methods
Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis technique was performed in 12 patients (12 males; mean age 37,3 years; SD 7.9) with closed communicated proximal phalangeal fractures. The patients were followed up for 13.2 months (SD 2.68). Fracture healing and reduction were assessed using standard posteroanterior and lateral X-ray films on postoperative weeks 1, 4,8,12 and 16 and at the final follow-up. For clinical assessment, the total range of active motion and grip strength on the injured and contralateral sides were measured. Total range of active motion (TRAM) was measured using a goniometer. Results were graded according to the Duncan score. Grip strength was measured using the JAMAR hand dynamometer.
Results
All fractures were observed as united during the routine X-ray visit at 12nd week. The mean TRAM was 205.8° (SD 12.2) at the final follow-up. Based on the Duncan classification, the results were excellent for eight fingers and good for four fingers. The mean grip strength of the injured side was reduced by 22% (SD 8) in the operated hands.
Conclusion
Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis enables stable fixation in comminuted fractures when stability cannot be achieved through closed reduction and K-wire fixation. Plate fixation with minimally invasive intervention may be used for the treatment of proximal phalangeal fractures.

Abstract:
The review clarifies key findings by providing a thorough assessment of lymphedema, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), and quality of life (QOL) following breast cancer. Lymphedema is a common side effect of breast cancer treatment that lowers quality of life. HBOT shows promise as a post-treatment intervention for lymphedema from breast cancer, particularly when used in conjunction with more established treatments such as complex decongestive therapy (CDT). Furthermore, HBOT significantly improves quality of life (QOL) for a wide range of acute and chronic diseases, including cancer therapies like radiation for early- stage breast cancer. Important information is provided by clinical trials examining the potential of HBOT to reduce lymphedema symptoms following breast cancer therapy. However, more research using bigger sample numbers and regulated procedures is required to determine the precise efficacy and cost- effectiveness of HBOT. Furthermore, promising outcomes of HBOT on arm lymphedema following adjuvant radiation therapy for early-stage breast cancer were reported by Lone Gothard et al., indicating the need for additional randomised trials. The prospective therapeutic benefits of HBOT in this population are highlighted by Marilot C. T. Batenburg et al.'s cohort research, which shows significant reductions in pain, arm and breast symptoms, and quality of life (QOL) following HBOT in breast cancer patients with late radiation damage.

Authors: Osward Aneth , Msemakweli January
Published: January 2025

Background and Aim: Prothrombin Time (PT) and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) are essential tests for diagnosing hemostatic disorders and monitoring anticoagulant therapy. However, delays in processing samples can affect result accuracy. This study aimed to assess the impact of plasma sample processing delays on PT and APTT results.
Methods: An experimental study was conducted at Muhimbili National Hospital, with 100 plasma samples collected from healthy blood donors. Samples were processed within 4 hours (baseline) and stored at -20°C for retesting after 24 and 48 hours. PT and APTT results were compared using one-way ANOVA and non-parametric tests, with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. Data was collected and analyzed in 2024.
Results: PT and APTT values increased with plasma storage time. At baseline, PT and APTT averaged 12.92 seconds and 28.92 seconds, respectively. After 24 hours, PT increased to 15.08 seconds and APTT to 32.28 seconds. At 48 hours, PT reached 17.72 seconds, and APTT was 38.28 seconds. One-way ANOVA showed significant differences in both PT and APTT across storage times (p < 0.001). Correlation analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between storage time and test results (PT: r = 0.852, APTT: r = 0.859). Non-parametric tests confirmed significant differences in PT and APTT between baseline and stored samples at 24 and 48 hours.
Conclusion: Delays in processing plasma samples significantly affect PT and APTT results, emphasizing the need for timely testing within 4 hours to ensure accuracy.

Published: January 2025

Aim/Background: Dyslipidaemia is one of the diseases with high mortality worldwide, about 45% of the world population is being affected leading to cardiovascular disorders. Cadmium is a ubiquitous toxic heavy metal pollutant in the biosphere which has been implicated as one of the factors responsible for dyslipidaemia. This work was therefore conducted to ascertain the effects of omega-3 and/or quercetin on cadmium- induced dyslipidaemia in rats.
Methods: Forty two (42) Wistar rats were assigned into 7 groups of 6 rats each and fed for 8 weeks with normal rat feed and drinking water. The treatment groups took either of cadmium chloride, omega-3 fatty acid and/or quercetin. The sham control groups 1 and 2 took olive oil (0.1 mL/kg body wt. o.p) and DMSO (1.0 mL/kg body wt. o.p) respectively. Blood samples were collected for measurement of some biochemical parameters.
Results: Results obtained showed significant decrease in HDL-c, while TC, TG and VLDL-c concentrations increased significantly (p<0.05) in Cd groups compared with control, omega-3 and/or quercetin groups. Cadmium administration also increased LDL-c conc. and atherogenic indices (CRR, AC and AIP) significantly (p<0.05) compared to Omega-3 group. These changes were ameliorated in omega-3 and/or quercetin treated groups.
Conclusion: Administration of quercetin or omega-3 ameliorates the adverse effects of Cd on serum lipids (LDL-c and HDL-c), antherogenic indices (CRR, AC & AIP), preventing dyslipidaemia that would have resulted in cardiovascular and other metabolic disorders. Quercetin or omega-3 had variable effects in ameliorating the adversity of Cadmium. However, combination of both quercetin and omega-3 produced a better ameliorating effect than when administered singly.

Traditional active machine learning (AML) methods employed in Record Linkage (RL) or Entity Resolution (ER) tasks often struggle with model stability, slow convergence, and handling imbalanced data. Our study introduces a novel hybrid Active Machine Learning approach to address RL, overcoming the challenges of limited labeled data and imbalanced classes. By combining and balancing informativeness, which selects record pairs to reduce model uncertainty, and representativeness, which ensures the chosen pairs reflect the overall dataset patterns, our hybrid approach, called Hybrid Active Machine Learning for Imbalanced Record Linkage (HAML-IRL), demonstrates significant advancements.HAML-IRL achieves an average 12% improvement in F1-scores across eleven real-world datasets, including structured, textual, and dirty data, when compared to state-of-the-art AML methods. Our approach also requires up to 60% - 85% fewer labeled samples dependening on the datasets, accelerates model convergence, and offers superior stability across iterations, making it a robust and efficient solution for real-world record linkage tasks.

Published: January 2025

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious viral disease primarily affecting small ruminants such as sheep and goats, with considerable economic impacts due to livestock losses, reduced productivity, and decreased food security. This study investigates the seroprevalence of PPR antibodies in camels within Sokoto State, Nigeria, aiming to assess their role as incidental hosts in disease transmission among mixed-species farming systems. Using a competitive ELISA kit obtained from IDvet®, an overall seroprevalence of 18.3% was obtained (n/60). No significant association was found between seroprevalence and age, sex, or location. Comparisons with other African and global studies indicate varying seroprevalence rates, influenced by regional factors such as herd management practices and climate. Findings from the study indicated that camels in the study area have PPR antibodies circulating, which is crucial for cross-species transmission risks. These findings also highlight that camels, while not primary hosts, may contribute to PPR maintenance, particularly in regions where interspecies contact with small ruminants is common. Seasonal variation was observed, with higher seroprevalence during the rainy season. It was recommended that the possibility of including camels in vaccination efforts to substantially reduce the risk of cross-species transmission should be looked at. Further research to determine the role of camels in the transmission dynamics of the disease should be carried out toward global eradication of PPR by the year 2030.
