Published: December 2024

Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the potential relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). As a secondary goal, we aimed to explore the impact of NAFLD on short-term adverse events and coronary artery disease (CAD) severity in patients with NSTEMI.

Methods: Three hundred and seven NSTEMI patients were included in this study. Laboratory analyses of these patients were performed before the procedure and 48–72 h after the procedure, and all patients underwent pre-procedure 2-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography and pre-discharge abdominal ultrasonography. The NAFLD (-) and (+) groups were compared statistically in terms of CIN, major cardiovascular-cerebrovascular adverse events (MACCE), and coronary artery severity (assessed by syntax score).

Results: The mean age of the 307 consecutive patients included in the study was 61.58±12.39 (min-max: 26–94). The rates of CIN (primary objective) and MACCE and syntax scores (secondary objective) were comparable in both groups.

Conclusion: In patients with NSTEMI, there was no relationship between NAFLD and CIN and short-term MACCE. Furthermore, NAFLD may not have an impact on the CAD severity in such patients. Based on these results, NAFLD is not a risk factor for CIN, short-term mortality, or CAD severity in NSTEMI patients.

Published: December 2024

Objectives: Aortic coarctation is defined as the narrowing of the aortic lumen secondary to hypertrophy of the posterolateral aortic wall’s media layer. The coarctation is locates between the junction from ductus arteriosus to the left subclavian artery and left hemi aortic arch. Aortic coarctation provokes many severe and lethal complications, such as severe aortic stenosis, aortic aneurysms, pseudoaneurysms, stroke, and premature coronary artery disease, unless it had not been repaired in the meantime the initiation of the symptoms.

Methods: We presented the consecutive nine patients who underwent aortic coarctation open surgical repair between 2015 and 2020 which initiated ascending-to-descending aortic bypass and then concomitant operations for the secondary cardiac pathology such as ascending aortic aneurysm, Type A aortic dissection and sinus valsalva aneurysm required in some cases. Patients were a median age of 26 years old (range, 19–41 years). About 11% of the patients (n=1) presented to our emergency room with severe chest pain and acute Type 2 aortic dissection was diagnosed by the surgical team, and he underwent operation immediately. The supracoronary aortic replacement and ascending to descending aortic bypass procedures were performed sequentially. About 44% of the patients (n=4) were diagnosed as isolated aortic coarctation and only ascending –to- descending aortic bypass was performed electively. About 22% of the patients (n=2) had ascending aortic aneurysm without aortic valve pathology. These patients underwent supracoronary aortic replacement as concomitant procedure to ascending to descending aortic bypass. About 22% of the patients (n=2) had bicuspid aortic valve and sinus Valsalva aneurysm; therefore, the Bentall procedure was implemented concomitantly.

Results: There were not any early deaths reported. Any neurologic complications including neither paraplegia nor stroke revealed during post-operative follow-up. About 88% of patients (n=8) were discharged with stable hemodynamic parameters in 2 weeks. About 11% of these patients (n=1) who underwent Bentall procedure concomitantly had third-degree atrioventricular block as a serious rhythm problem then a permanent pacemaker implanted. This patient had been discharged with stable hemodynamic parameters and pacemaker settings were controlled by the cardiology department.

Conclusion: The extra anatomical ascending-to-descending aortic bypass is a safe and feasible method for the open surgical coarctation repair, and it provides concomitant procedures for other cardiac pathologies, which require open surgical treatment.

Authors: JAMITZKY Benedikt , HALASZOVICH Tilo
Published: December 2024

Starting a new business is a risky and complex decision with widespread consequences for the entrepreneur. But despite extensive research, it is still not clear which specific factors influence this choice on the individual level of the entrepreneur. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as a theoretical basis for the decision process, this study builds on previous qualitative research to shed more light on the social and personal factors determining the individual’s decision to start a new business. Following a quantitative approach, data were collected via an online survey targeting entrepreneurs, resulting in 176 complete responses. The findings highlight that an economically oriented education significantly influences entrepreneurial attitudes, materialistic values are linked with subjective norms, and the individual’s resilience positively affects perceived behavioral control (PBC). On the other hand, no influence on the decision was found for factors such as social influence, need for recognition, educational level, conscientiousness, and openness. Based on these findings, the study has two core contributions: First, it contributes to the refinement of TPB in the context of entrepreneurship by highlighting the individual’s social and personal factors. Second, it provides valuable insights for educational initiatives and political decisions to foster entrepreneurial endeavors.

Published: December 2024

The concept of “internal marketing” has attracted significant attention from researchers. Despite extensive studies on the topic, it remains partially understood, as while attention to external customers is critical, the importance of internal customers—an organization’s employees—cannot be overlooked. The development of internal marketing within the organization plays a crucial role in gaining a competitive edge in the market. The goal of internal marketing is to engage employees by prioritizing internal initiatives that need to be developed, sustained, and promoted. This fosters business growth and enhances the company’s competitiveness. Different studies show that employees’ positive perceptions of internal marketing practices lead to beneficial outcomes. Analysing the components of internal marketing can provide insights into how strategies can be customized for different regions and industries, ultimately leading to more effective internal marketing approaches. Literature reviews indicate that internal marketing serves as a human resource management tool that fosters employee satisfaction and alignment with external customer needs. The authors closely examine the contemporary role of internal marketing strategies and their implementation in a Lithuanian financial institution through an enhanced framework of marketing elements and thus throwing some light on how these strategies impact employee engagement. Empirical research, based on structured interviews within the institution, reveals that the internal pricing element is the lowest rated, while other elements need further strengthening due to differing opinions from managers and employees. Enhancing internal marketing strategies can significantly boost employee engagement, satisfaction, and performance, which in turn positively affects external customer satisfaction.

Published: December 2024

The green synthesis method is an environmentally friendly, cost-efficient, and safe method for the production of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs). This method mainly relies on the use of plants and microorganisms as well. While plant-based MNPs are produced via the green synthesis method, the secondary metabolites of plants have the ability to enrich some functional properties of these MNPs. As a result of this, plant-based MNPs can be cytotoxic to some cancer cell lines. This review regarding the effect of plant-based MNPs anticancer activities on various cancer cell lines provides a summary of research articles in this area. Additionally, this review reports secondary metabolites of the plants used to synthesize MNPs. Thus, this article provides an overview of which plant species are being used and which metallic nanoparticles are being studied for anti-cancer activities on which cancer cell lines. This review aims to provide a general perspective for researchers in the field to study novel combinations of plants, metals, and cancer types.

Peatlands formed from long-term accumulation of partially decomposed organic matter in wetland areas. This particular ecosystem is not only capable of sequestering significant quantities of carbon but also vulnerable to forest and land fires (karhutla). Peatland produces considerable CO₂ emissions during fire occurrences, which consequently requires spatiotemporal monitoring to sustain its ecological roles and functions. This study aims to map the severity of fires in peatland ecosystems, estimate the success of post-fire restoration, and develop an Earth Engine Apps-based monitoring platform for peatland fire monitoring. Fire severity assessment and post-fire restoration success estimation were conducted in Jambi's Peat Hydrological Unit (PHU) in 2019 using the Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) index derived from Sentinel-2 MSI satellite imagery. Most of Jambi PHU's fire severity and restoration levels are high. The area of PHU Jambi with high fire severity was 7,822.91 hectares, while the area with high restoration success was 23,744.69 hectares. NBR monitoring in PHU Jambi can be used to detect fire severity and restore success. The visualization of forest and land fire severity was successfully displayed on the Data Indo InaFire webGIS platform, an Earth Engine Apps-based monitoring platform.

Published: December 2024

The effect of plyometric jump training on children’s jump and sprint performance remains unclear. To explore the effects of PJT on jump and sprint performance in children and to further analyze the influence of participant characteristics and training variables. A literature search was conducted in the PubMed, Web of Science, and SPORTDiscus databases. The included studies (n = 17) involved 587 children, with study sample sizes ranging from 9 to 44 participants. Overall, PJT improved children's vertical jump performance involving squat jump and countermovement jump (ES = 0.78, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.41-1.16, I² = 63%, p < 0.01; n = 474), standing long jump performance (ES = 0.56, CI = 0.3-0.83, I² = 26%, p < 0.0001; n = 414), and sprint performance involving 5 m to 30 m distances (ES = -0.41, CI = -0.61 to -0.22, I² = 0%, p < 0.01; n = 424). Subgroup analysis showed non-tapering strategies (ES = 0.92, n = 88) resulted in significant difference than tapering strategies (ES = 0.37, n = 336 np = 0.01). Meta-regression showed a positive correlation between the total number of training sessions and standing long jump performance improvement (p = 0.03). Two studies have a high risk of bias (RoB), and 15 studies have a moderate RoB (some concerns). The GRADE assessment indicated a very low to low robustness of the evidence. In conclusion, PJT can improve children's jump and sprint performance. Increasing the number of training sessions may lead to better standing long jump results. However, the low to very-low robustness of the currently available evidence precludes recommendations regarding PJT for improving children’s neuromuscular performance.

Published: December 2024

Scarcity of irrigation water significantly hampers growth, yield, and quality of produce. To alleviate this issue, drip irrigation combined with mulching is frequently employed for water management in water-scarce regions. In this study, a field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of three irrigation levels [100%, 80% and 60% of crop evapotranspiration (ETc)] and two organic mulches (grass mulch and pine needle mulch) on yield and yield attributes of broccoli. The results indicated a significant difference in soil nutrients, plant growth and yield attributes. The highest levels of available soil nitrogen (333.8 kg ha-1), phosphorus (57.8 kg ha-1), potassium (375.8kg ha-1) as well as the highest bacterial count [expressed as colony-forming units- (cfu)] (19.40×105 cfu g-1), fungi count (6.47×103 cfu g-1) and actinomycetes count (7.46×10-3cfu g-1) were observed in the best treatment consisting of drip irrigation @ 80% ETc + grass mulch at depths of 0-15 cm. The maximum plant height (51.1 cm), number of leaves per plant (18.9), minimum days to marketable maturity (102), head size (12.8 cm), head weight (316.3 g) and highest yield (242 q ha-1) were recorded in the best treatment with highest returns and Benefit-Cost (B:C) ratio (3.64). Hence, drip irrigation @ 80% ETc along with grass mulch is recommended to be the most efficient and cost-effective in improving broccoli yield in the study area and its marketability for better economic returns.

Published: December 2024

This research is aimed at reducing the environmental impact and increasing the efficiency of pesticide application by examining the effects of nozzle type and operating pressure on spray characteristics and discharge rate. Prevalent challenges of applying pesticides had been the subject of prior studies, but the relationships between nozzle types [flat fan, hollow cone, and flower (8-hole)] and operating pressures (2, 3 and 4 kg cm-2) were not widely recognized for greenhouses. This research gap necessitated an experimental approach, measuring spray deposition and discharge rate across three nozzles using a Malvern Spraytec droplet analyzer and spray patternator. Specific surface area (SSA), volume mean diameter [D(4,3)], Sauter mean diameter [D(3,2)], droplet size distribution (Dv10, Dv50, and Dv90), span were characterized and measured. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's Honest Significant Difference (HSD) tests to determine significant difference between factors for nozzle selection. The results showed that increasing working pressure of flat fan nozzle from 2 to 4 kg cm-2 led to smaller droplets sizes, with Dv10, Dv50 and Dv90 decreasing from 85.61 to 66.41 µm, 165.33 to 142.80 µm, and 424.83 to 376.16 µm, respectively. Increase in SSA correspondingly from 0.387 to 0.524 m² cc-1, indicates more surface area available per unit volume of pesticides. It was found that with increase in discharge rate from 1045.69 to 1360.01 mL min-1, there was a significant increase in pesticide volume delivered. These findings provide important information for enhancing pesticide application procedures by highlighting the significance of carefully choosing operating pressures and nozzle types to establish a balance between spray efficacy and environmental considerations.

Millets, particularly pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), are important crops in arid and semi-arid regions due to their drought tolerance and nutritional value. Efficient planting methods are key to optimizing yields and minimizing resource usage. The adoption of planters, especially those incorporating advanced mechanisms like vertical rotors with cell-type metering systems, is increasing as these improve seed distribution accuracy and reduce labour-intensive manual sowing. A tractor-operated multi-crop planter with a vertical rotor and cell-type metering mechanism was evaluated for its performance in pearl millet sowing. The planter, designed for precision planting, had a working width of 2.25 m and maintained a row to row spacing of 450 mm. Key engineering properties of pearl millet seeds, such as size, shape, geometric mean diameter, moisture content, and angle of repose, were examined to ensure compatibility with the metering mechanism. The planter was tested in both laboratory and field conditions at various forward speeds (2 to 4 km h-1), and using different furrow openers (12 mm inverted T-type, 30 mm and 55 mm shovel types). Results showed better performance at lower speeds (2.0 to 2.5 km h-1), with a consistent seed placement depth of about 20 mm, ensuring uniform crop emergence. The quality feed index (QFI) reached up to 94.80%, while the missing index (MI) and multiple index (MU) remained low, reflecting minimal errors in seed distribution. The planter's fuel consumption ranged from 2.62 to 3.51 l h-1, and field capacity varied between 0.33 and 0.50 ha h-1. The best (optimal) performance was observed at 2.5 km h-1 with a 30 mm shovel-type furrow opener, achieving a sowing depth of 20.4 mm, QFI of 94.16%, field capacity of 0.40 ha h-1, and fuel consumption of 2.97 l h-1. The operational cost was Rs. 705 per hour or Rs. 1765 per hectare, making it economically viable for small to medium-scale farmers.

Power tillers have significantly improved the efficiency of agricultural operations in India. However, their noise emissions pose considerable health risks to operators. This study investigates the impact of power tiller noise on occupational health, and evaluates the effectiveness of various noise protection devices. Noise levels were recorded at different engine speeds, revealing that without protection, noise could reach 103.14 dB(A), surpassing the recommended safe occupational limit of 85 dB(A). Noise reduction capabilities of ear muffs, ear plugs, and moist cotton were assessed. Ear muffs provided highest noise reduction, lowering noise by 40.50%, followed by ear plugs (32.70%) and moist cotton (26.80%). The physiological impact of noise on operators was also measured, showing that ear muffs led to the most significant reductions in elevated blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic blood pressure) as well as increased heart rate. The findings underscore the urgent need for effective noise mitigation strategies in power tiller operations and recommend ear muffs as the most effective protective device for safeguarding operators’ health.

Published: December 2024

The recent COVID pandemic has contributed to the shift in consumer preferences towards high-quality products, while industries seek low-energy technologies with minimal greenhouse gas emissions. To address these demands, this review explores electrohydrodynamic (EHD) drying, a non-thermal drying process that uses significantly less energy than traditional methods. In EHD drying, a high-voltage supply between two electrodes creates a corona wind that rapidly dries food products placed on a grounded electrode. The energy used during drying is much less than the latent heat of vaporization, indicating water removal by the process of corona discharge and not by evaporation. This technology offers several advantages, including reduced drying times, increased heat and mass transfer rates, and improved product quality. This paper provides a comprehensive review of EHD drying, examining the effects of various factors like voltage supply, types of electrodes, material of construction of electrodes, distance between the electrodes, number of needles and its sharpness, wire type electrodes, shape of electrodes etc. on drying rates, rehydration ratio, and product quality. The review suggests that EHD drying is an ideal solution for heat-sensitive products, involving a multidisciplinary approach to food processing.
Environmental Concern, Behavior, Skepticism, and Subjective Well-being: Evidence from Russia

Published: December 2024

In recent years, sustainable development policies have increasingly focused not only on economic indicators and infrastructure quality, but also on subjective well-being, happiness, and population satisfaction. The aim of this study is to determine how environmental concern, observed behavior, and skepticism levels impact life satisfaction assessments. The data comes from a survey of over 1,400 employed respondents in Russia, conducted by the authors in the summer of 2024. The methods include correlation and regression analyses, and environmental indicators were measured using simple scales that reflect respondents’ attitudes toward specific environmental issues. The results revealed that human and social capital indicators are important predictors of environmental concern, behavior, and skepticism. For instance, an active life stance increases environmental concern and pro-environmental actions, while a lack of trust in institutions raises the level of environmental skepticism. Overall, higher levels of environmental concern and increased pro-environmental actions enhance life satisfaction, whereas growing skepticism negatively affects subjective well-being. These findings could be used to inform environmental policy aimed at improving population well-being by engaging individuals in institutional efforts and building trust through the accumulation of social capital.
Challenges of Teaching Methods for Generation Z at Universities, Case Study China
Authors: Čekrlija Saša
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the challenges faced by university teaching methodologies in the context of Generation Z, with a particular focus on the People's Republic of China. Generation Z, born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, has grown up in a digital environment where mobile phones, social media, and constant access to information have become integral parts of everyday life. This generation exhibits significant differences from previous generations in how they process information, learn, and communicate. One of the key challenges in educating Generation Z is their reduced ability to focus and shorter attention spans, which poses a problem for traditional teaching methods that rely on long lectures and static presentations. In an environment where information is available at the click of a button, Generation Z prefers quick, concise, and visually stimulating content. Additionally, this generation has a strong need for interaction, whether through digital platforms or within the classroom, and they tend to be highly pragmatic learners, focusing on acquiring practical skills that can be immediately applied in the real world. These changes necessitate the redefinition of teaching methods at universities. Traditional knowledge transmission methods, which rely on frontal teaching, increasingly fail to meet the needs and expectations of Generation Z students. This raises the question of how to adjust class duration, lecture content, and evaluation methods to better address their specific needs. It is also essential to explore new pedagogical approaches, such as gamification, the use of digital tools, and interactive learning, which may enhance the engagement and success of this generation in the educational process. This paper will analyze existing teaching practices in China, identify their shortcomings in the context of Generation Z, and propose innovative approaches with the potential to improve the learning process at the university level. Through case analysis, the goal is to determine how crucial digitalization and changes in teaching methods are for the successful education of this generation, and how universities can adapt to ensure relevant and effective education for future generations. This research, through empirical testing of the hypothesis on the impact of using mobile applications on the academic success of Generation Z students, demonstrates that Generation Z students achieve better results on the final test when the curriculum includes research that they can conduct on a specific sample using mobile applications for data collection, processing, and graphical presentation of results.
Financial Crimes and Environmental Sustainability: A Game Theory Model of Illegal Fishing and Its Financial Ecosystem
Authors: Janjua Laeeq , Maurya Nitu
Published: December 2024

Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing poses a substantial risk to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and global economic stability, especially in areas reliant on fisheries. Intricate financial networks often enable the unlawful monetary transfers linked to illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, while inadequately supervised banking institutions obscure the origins of the profits. This article examines the critical role of financial institutions and banks in addressing IUU fishing by detecting dubious transactions indicative of money laundering, corruption, and other financial offences. This research use game theory to provide a mathematical framework that simulates the strategic interactions of primary parties, such as financial institutions, regulators, illicit fishing enterprises, and enforcement organisations. The results highlight the need of collaboration between financial institutions and regulatory agencies in overseeing, identifying, and mitigating financial crimes associated with environmental degradation. The use of game theory underscores the potential for improved financial regulation and collective accountability to markedly diminish illicit fishing practices and foster environmental sustainability.

Today, the entire global community is facing an extremely important and significant issue related to ensuring global and comprehensive actions that will contribute to the establishment of global prosperity, justice, peace and equality. The basic concept of achieving global goods has found its place in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the UN, which aim to identify and create the means for global progress in key areas of functioning. However, global governance of sustainable development is characterised by a highly fragmented system of separate clusters of international organisations, as well as states and other actors. Thus, strengthening inter-organisational coordination and cooperation is often identified as an important challenge for reforming global sustainable development governance. An important step in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals is for governments, together with international organisations, to identify relevant needs, resources and requests for further support and funding. This process should be characterised by a well-coordinated systematic approach and coherence, which will subsequently yield positive results and have a positive impact on complex issues. Thus, through full cooperation, it is possible to identify important aspects of sustainable development that need to be addressed, improved and achieved.
