Published: March 2024

In modern conditions of instability of the national economic system, the question of effective strategic planning and implementation of an organizational strategy covering all levels of the corporation becomes relevant. The post-pandemic period and the shock year 2022 for many Russian companies forced the top management of many corporations to respon3d flexibly to the current realities of the global market, changing previous strategies. Interesting in this regard are the factors that shape the organizational strategies of the corporations under study. The author presents an attempt to analyze the effectiveness of Russian companies from the chosen type of strategy in relation to the policy in the field of use of human capital. In particular, economically important companies using classical planned and classical process strategies are considered. Based on the study, it was revealed that there is a relationship between organizational strategy and management policy in the field of human capital; moreover, the higher it is, the more successful companies are (expressed in caring for employees). Also, as a distinctive factor shaping organizational strategies, the author identified the policy in the field of labor protection and industrial safety (which is a feature of companies with a classic process strategy).

Authors: Avcı Nihan , Gümüş Fehmiye , Özgermen Başak , Sağlam Mehmet
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT
Objective: This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the diseases of calves. Surgically encountered diseases, causes, indicated treatment methods, and possible complications were evaluated and it was thought to contribute to scientific and clinical studies on this subject.
Material-Method: The material of this study consisted of a total of 150 calves of different breeds, ages, and sexes brought to Aksaray University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Animal Hospital Surgery Clinic between December 2017 and 2023 due to various problems.
Result: In terms of surgical diseases, 37.3% of 150 calves were soft tissue, 56.6% orthopedics, 2% ophthalmology, and 4% neurology cases. Congenital anomalies were found in 44.65% of 56 patients with soft tissue disease. Orthopedic examination revealed, 57.1% of the cases had fractures, 23.8% had arthritis and 19% had tendon diseases. It was determined that 37.3% of the surgical cases between 2017 and 2023 were soft tissue-related. In addition to soft tissue diseases, there were 5 ophthalmologic cases, including orbital mass (n=2) and dermoid cyst (n=3)
Conclusion Finally, while cattle breeding has great economic importance in our country, calf losses occur due to economic conditions such as artificial insemination errors, irregular registration systems, lack of standardization of care and housing, incorrect intervention of the patient owner, and treatment costs. It is envisaged that economic losses will be minimized with early diagnosis, early intervention, appropriate medical treatment, and surgical treatment options.

Effective identification and categorization of network attacks are paramount for ensuring robust security. However, contemporary techniques often struggle to accurately discern and classify novel attack patterns. This research introduces an innovative framework designed to achieve reliable attack detection and classification by harnessing the synergistic capabilities of utilizing DenseNet convolutional neural networks and rap music analysis techniques. Our approach leverages feature extraction through the Attention Pyramid Network (RAPNet) framework, tailored to extract pertinent features from input data, alongside binary Pigeon optimization. Subsequently, we employ feature selection using the optimization algorithm (BPOA). Once the optimal features are identified, we employ the Densenet201 model to categorize attacks across various datasets, including Bot-IoT, CICIDS2017, and CICIDS2019, through deep learning methodologies. To address the challenge posed by imbalanced data, we introduce conditional generative adversarial networks for generating additional data samples for minority classes, thus mitigating the issue. In contrast to recent intrusion detection methods, our results showcase the model’s exceptional precision in detecting and categorizing achieving accuracy rates of 99.12%, 99.01%, and 99.18% for Bot-IoT, CICIDS2017, and CICIDS2019 datasets, respectively. Despite the potential benefits of a machine learning-based intrusion detection system (IDS) for Internet of Things (IoT) security, several limitations must be considered. These include the lack of standardized security protocols across various IoT devices and platforms, which makes it challenging to develop a uniform IDS. Furthermore, machine learning models, including those for intrusion detection, can be vulnerable to adversarial attacks that can circumvent or mislead the model’s decision-making process. Thus, the potential for sophisticated attacks on IoT systems must be considered when developing such a system.

Chronic social stress in early life can predispose mice to antisocial maltreating behavior
Authors: Jeon Daejong , Kim Sangwoo , Lee Sang Kun , Chu Kon
Published: March 2024

PurposeIn our previous study, we developed an assay system to evaluate antisocial maltreating behavior of conspecific mice using a perpetrator–victim paradigm. We also generated a mouse model for the maltreating behavior by mimicking child maltreatment or abuse. Here, we further investigate the antisocial behavior using anti-aggressive and antipsychotic drugs. MethodsModel mice sequentially subjected to maternal separation (MS), social defeat (SD), and social isolation (SI) in that order (MS/SD/SI model) were subjected to a maltreating behavioral task. The MS/SD/SI mice were treated with oxytocin (OXY), clozapine (CLZ), haloperidol (HAL), and 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT). Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used for protein analysis. ResultsA substantial portion of the MS/SD/SI model mice (46% of males and 40% of females) showed a higher number of nose pokes than the control. OXY or 8-OH-DPAT treatment reduced the high number of nose pokes by the MS/SD/SI mice, whereas HAL increased it. CLZ did not affect the number of nose pokes by the MS/SD/SI mice. Interestingly, although the OXY level in the MS/SD/SI mice was similar to that in the control, the amount of OXY receptor was lower in the MS/SD/SI mice. The amount of 5-HT1A receptor was also decreased in the MS/SD/SI mice. ConclusionChronic social stress in childhood might predispose a mouse to antisocial behavior. Our maltreating behavior assay system, including the MS/SD/SI model, is a good animal system for research on and drug screening for brain disorders associated with antisocial or psychotic behavior.
Effect of anthropometric and physical activity levels on endurance strength: A cross-sectional study of University Practice Senior High School, Ghana
Authors: Opoku-Antwi Eric , Kwakye Josephine Adjubi , Bimpong Emmanuel
Published: March 2024

The aim of this study is to determine how anthropometric variables (body weight, body height, upper and lower limb length), Body Mass Index (BMI) and physical activity (PA) levels affect the number of cycles completed in 3-Minute Burpee Test (3-MBT) among male and female teenagers of University Practice Senior High school. Thirty-two (32) males and 28 females aged 15-17 years engaged in low and moderate physical activity levels took part in the studies. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form was used to assess physical activity levels and 3-MBT was used to evaluate students’ endurance strength capacity. Participants’ limb lengths (for upper and lower) were measured and their BMI was calculated from their measured body height and weight according to standardized guidelines. The results were processed statistically using Pearson’s correlation, independent sample t-test and simple linear regression. In both sexes, only body mass and BMI were bound by negative significant correlation (p < 0.05) with the number of cycles completed in the 3-MBT. Significant differences were noted between males and females engaging in 3-MBT (p < .001). Physical activity levels in MET significantly predicted endurance strength scores (p < .001) as assessed by 3-MBT. On the average, males completed 48.34 cycles/3 min and females scored 38.50 cycles/3 min. More cycles were completed by male and female students with moderate levels of physical activity compared to those characterized by low levels of PA. Males were characterized by higher anthropometric measurements excluding body mass index than females. Body mass, BMI and physical activity levels in MET were the only analyzed variables that significantly had influence on endurance strength (3-MBT) of both sexes.
Effect of 16 weeks of core and strength training on incidence of injury occurrence and FMS score of Ghanaian University basketball athletes
Authors: Opoku-Antwi Eric , Kwakye Josephine Adjubi
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to determine if FMS scores can predict the prevalence of injury occurrence after 16 weeks of core training and strength training in a Ghanaian University basketball athlete. Ninety (90) athletes aged 18-25 years participated in the study. Athletes were randomly stratified into two groups (n=45) and participated in 16 weeks of core training and 16 weeks of strength training respectively. All athletes received questionnaires and FMS scores before and after training was recorded. Of the 90 athletes, ankle and knee were the most vulnerable parts of basketball athletes to injuries. Compared with pre-training, athletes’ incidence of injury was reduced after training. When the FMS score was 14.5, the value of Sensitivity-(1-Specificity) is the largest. In addition, FMS scores could only take integers, so FMS=14 was the best critical value for predicting the risk of injury by FMS score whether it was before or after training. Fifty (50) basketball athletes had an FMS score of ≤14 before training and 40 had FMS scores >14. After training, 15 basketball athletes had an FMS score of ≤14 and 75 had FMS scores >14. There was a significant increase in FMS scores single and total scores after training compared with pre-training. FMS score can effectively predict the injury risk of basketball players. Increasing strength and core training can effectively prevent basketball players from injury and improve FMS score.
Safety culture and patient safety outcomes in developing countries: A narrative review
Authors: Sarfo Jacob Owusu , Ocloo Janet Exornam Yawo , Ansah Edward Wilson , Amoadu Mustapha
Published: March 2024

The effects of medical errors on patients are increasingly becoming a public concern. It is estimated that 10% and 20% of persons receiving healthcare in developed and developing economies, respectively, are harmed, but a majority of these errors are preventable. The purpose of this paper is to summarise the current literature on the level of patient safety culture awareness and practice, predictors of patient safety culture, and the link between patient safety culture and patient outcomes in developing countries. A systematic search for literature from the following data bases, ScienceDirect, PubMed, JSTOR, ProQuest, Taylor & Francis Online, and Emerald Insight was carried out. Consistent with the inclusion criteria and study objectives, 23 published articles were included in this review. We found that patient safety culture awareness and practice in developing countries is low and still evolving. High predictors of patient safety culture include teamwork, communication, work environment and provider job satisfaction. Low predictors include a non-punitive response to errors, handoffs, transitions and transfers, staffing, and blameless reporting systems. We found that improved patient safety culture results in better patient outcomes. However, there is limited evidence on patient safety culture and patient outcomes in African countries, which hinder evidence-based practice aimed at promoting better health outcomes of patients. Stakeholders must ensure enhanced medical data collection and preservation of comprehensive incidence reporting systems and strategies to improve patient safety and health outcomes.
Plasmodium Falciparum Rifins: Role in malaria pathogenesis
Authors: Duntu Paul Ekow , Afrifa Justice , Opoku Yeboah Kwaku , Asare Kwame Kumi
Published: March 2024

Malaria kills an estimated 600,000 people each year, especially children under five years who reside in sub-Saharan Africa. Malaria fatalities are associated with severe forms such as cerebral malaria, acute respiratory failure, severe anaemia, renal failure, hypoglycaemia, and pulmonary oedema. Although the underlying pathogenic mechanisms in immune responses and parasite immune evasion, cytoadherence of parasitized red blood cells, and rosetting are enumerated, the mechanisms are not fully understood. P. falciparum parasite-derived surface protein, repetitive interspersed family (RIFIN) genes are involved in rosetting, blocking microcirculation, and playing a role in malaria pathogenesis; it is unclear which RIFIN family genes are involved in the various pathogenic mechanisms in malaria. RIFINs are the extensive malaria family genes expressed throughout the malaria parasite stages, indicating their diverse roles. Malaria pathogenesis occurs in erythrocyte-stage infection, and the expression of RIFINs at this phase could play a diverse role in the various pathogenic mechanisms. They are involved in major phenomena such as cytoadherence, merozoite evasion, and immune evasion. RIFINs aid in the immune evasion of P. falciparum through various molecular interactions by binding to the inhibitory receptors LAIR1, LILRB1, and LILRB2. RIFINs in severe forms of malaria (such as cerebral malaria and severe anaemia) require a considerable understanding to target and control malaria severity and mortality. RIFINs are implicated in severe malaria and are discussed together with other variant surface antigens such as STEVORS or PfEMP1 in the specific pathophysiology of malaria. This review details the role of RIFINs in the various malaria pathophysiological mechanisms underlying severe malaria and mortality

Authors: Kissi Jonathan , Annobil Caleb , Tijani Ahmed , Kissi Andrews Agyei
Published: March 2024

Few studies have assessed the impact of Electronic Health Record (EHR) on data quality and how it has impacted timeliness, accuracy, availability, integrity, consistency and uniqueness of health data. Assessing the current gaps between electronic health record utilisation in relation to enhancing data quality can help to identify and recommend key measures to improve healthcare delivery. This review examines the impact of electronic health record on data quality, and proposes recommendations desirable to improving healthcare delivery. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Integrative Review Frameworks (IRF) were adapted as a sign post for the study. These frameworks guided literature search, data analysis and presentation of findings. Boolean AND/OR operators were combined with search terms to increase relevant search results. Six (6) electronic databases that were used for literature search are Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, PubMed, ProQuest and Google Scholar. Searched articles were between 2012 to 2022, with the exception of two articles on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) published in 1986 and 1975. EHR implementation impact key health outcomes and contribute to timely and complete data submission. Implementation of Electronic Health Systems (EHS) embellish consistency, completeness, accuracy and integrity of clinical data significantly through embedded interoperability solutions. By reducing the scope of manual reviews, integrating a technology that automates data integrity and quality checks into EHR may potentially lessen the strain of maintaining data quality. Our findings depict that interoperability of clinical data sources will ensure consistent, timely and available health data when using EHR. The automated data integrity and consistency checks in the EHR improve data quality. The study contributes to advancing the theory of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in electronic health records and its impact on data quality in healthcare delivery.
Academic citizenship: A radical practice perspective
Authors: Bendix Petersen Eva
Published: March 2024

This article presents how we might think about academic citizenship through a radical practice perspective. The assumption is that academics, alongside other actors, enact the university in their everyday practices. Everyday academic citizenship is not a choice, it is something we all partake in, whether we are aware of it or not, whether we wish to or not. Through analysing an un-remarkable statement by an academic, drawing on Austin’s speech act theory, this article illustrates how we can understand such statements as a particular form of academic citizenship in which the present and future university are envisioned. The article concludes by inviting academics to become more deliberate in their citizenship.
Academic citizenship, together: Prioritising care and reflexivity in scholarly life
Authors: Pham Bao-Chau , Gregory Kathleen , Davies Sarah , Schikowitz Andrea , Dessewffy Esther , Goldberg Elaine , Ederer Nora , Avkıran Ariadne , Holmer Constantin
Published: March 2024

This essay explores dimensions of academic citizenship relating to collegiality and collectivity within academia. Building on notions of reflexivity and care, and from a starting point that highlights some of the problems of the conditions and nature of contemporary academic work, it offers a discussion of how scholars might define and interrogate values for relating to one another as colleagues. Though we focus on and discuss our own values and practices, we argue for the processual, unfinished nature of these. Academic citizenship is thus framed as a reflexive process that aims to create caring spaces within academia
For one and all: Being an academic citizen on an interconnected Earth
Authors: Barnett Ronald
Published: March 2024

The idea of citizen implies a polis, a collectivity of persons contributing their voices and actions to the good running of the community. In uttering and acting as citizens, both the public realm and a public is formed. The university as an institution and its educational processes are doubly implicated here. First, issues arise as to the extent to which the university is itself a kind of public, modelling the public realm, and founded on critical dialogue among equals. Second, issues arise as to the extent to which the university might be able and willing to advance this public realm. These issues generate two questions: what does academic citizenship mean? And, what if potential members of the public are voiceless? I answer these two questions together. Being an academic citizen is a matter of an ever-widening sphere in which this citizenship is located. This entails successively reaching out from one’s discipline and one’s students, to the world, and to the Earth. The pool in which academic citizenship is enacted is all the time widening, to those who lie beyond the current boundaries of the university, and all the inhabitants of Nature. Ultimately, to be an academic citizen is to be for one and all across this whole Earth.

Authors: AYVAZ Ali , KILINÇ Sevgi , UZUNBACAK Hasan Hüseyin , AKÇAKANAT Tahsin
Published: March 2024

This study investigated the impact of employees' perceptions of overqualification on their turnover intention, as well as the role of boreout and work alienation in mediating this relationship. The study used a relational survey approach and collected data from a convenience sample of 210 university administrative staff, with an equal distribution of male and female participants and an average age of 38 years and an average tenure of 11 years. The researchers used the Perception of Overqualification Scale, Turnover Intention Scale, Boreout Scale, Workplace Alienation Scale, and Personal Information Form to collect the data. Confirmatory factor analysis and Pearson Correlation analysis were used to analyze the data, while mediation analyses were conducted using the Process macro. The study found that employees' perception of being overqualified for their jobs had a significant positive effect on their turnover intention, and that this relationship was mediated by both workplace boreout and work alienation. The study's findings indicate that employees who perceive themselves as overqualified are more likely to experience boreout and alienation in the workplace, which in turn increases their turnover intention. The study's limitations were discussed, and the findings were contextualized within the existing literature on turnover intentions and workplace dynamics.

Can Separatist Ethnonationalist States Create Inclusive Multilingual Education Policies? Evidence from The Iranian Plateau
Authors: Kalan Amir
Published: March 2024

In this article, the author draws on evidence from newly emerged states’ language policy and planning in the Iranian Plateau, and its surrounding Silk Roads region, in order to illustrate that the European nation-state model has been a major cause of linguistic discrimination in this region although separatist movements can assume that establishing a new state can protect their ethnic languages. The adaptation of this form of governance in these territories has seriously damaged the region’s organic linguistic repertoire. The failure of the modern state to provide an inclusive language policy has long been observed and discussed in the field of sociology of language. In this article, the author provides examples to show that newly emerged nation-states oppress the Indigenous minority languages within them and fall short of satisfactorily addressing the language issues of immigrants because of their narrow and inflexible definitions of nationhood and national identity. Additionally, the author illustrates that nation-states not only target minority languages, but also they undermine the very ethnic language that they claim to promote. This happens by elevating the status of one variation of the ethnic language and at the same time devaluating the other dialects and accents. The author concludes that investment in nation-statism may or may not lead to the creation of a state that is respectful of linguistic human rights. A more meaningful investment in terms of language planning is organizing anti-discrimination movements both in current larger states or possible future ethnic states.

This research introduces the Chain-Business-Trade mapping method, integrating import-export and Bill of Lading data for supply chain analysis. Two quantitative studies, employing Proof of Concept and Pilot Project approaches, focused on identifying alternative sources for critical imports during disasters and assessing Puerto Rico's alignment with America’s Supply Chains priorities. Qualitative methods contextualized findings, addressing international trade constraints and value leakages caused by the US Jones Act. During import disruptions, the Greater Caribbean emerged as a vital alternative network for Puerto Rico, with Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Panama, and the US Virgin Islands playing crucial roles. Puerto Rico's prominence in lithium supply chains (exporting 90% of pacemakers) and pharmaceuticals, aligned with America’s Supply Chains priorities, highlights the impact of international trade constraints on supply chains. The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive mapping and adaptive strategies, noting challenges due to the absence of dedicated institutions for informed decisionmaking.

Background: Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Surgical therapy is the primary modality for early-stage cancer with curative goals; chemotherapy is the direct option in advanced cancer with palliative goals; radiotherapy is one of the primary therapy modalities for rectal cancer. The markers for chemotherapy response include CRP and CEA. Elevated CRP and CEA levels in CRC patients are associated with poor chemotherapy response. Objective: to determine the relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and chemotherapy response measured by Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) levels in colorectal cancer patients at Prof. Dr. IGNG Ngoerah Hospital. Method: analytic observational study with a retrospective cohort study design. The sample in this study used the total consecutive sampling method. The analysis was carried out with the help of SPSS, including descriptive statistical tests, chi-square tests, and correlation tests with Spearman-Rho. Results: 58 patients were divided into 2 groups of 29 each for the group with high CRP levels (≥5 mg/dl) and low CRP levels (<5 mg/dl). The male subjects with the most age <60 years and stage III. Most duration of illness < 2 years. The relationship between CRP levels and chemotherapy response was based on CEA, RR 3.2 [95% CI 1.1-9.6; p 0.030], and the value of the positive correlation coefficient with strong strength is r = 0.722. Conclusion: high CRP levels are significantly associated with a strong correlation to worse chemotherapy response in colorectal cancer patients characterized by a high risk of increasing CEA levels 3.7 times after three series of FOLFIRI adjuvant chemotherapy.

Topical natural oil-based anti-aging o/w emulsions with UV protection capability were developed with the help of sesame (F1), black cumin (F2), flax (F3), and poppy seed oil (F4) and their combination(F5) having comparable SPF and antioxidant activities and their values were calculated using UV spectrophotometer and DPPH scavenging test respectively. Five separate formulations of all oils were made and stored at various storage temperatures, including 8°C, 25°C, 40°C and 40°C ± 75% RH. These formulations were then examined for stability at their storage parameters which involved changes in color, odor, phase separation, pH, conductivity, centrifugation as well as spreadability for two months, with tests being conducted after a particular duration. According to the experimental findings, the antioxidant activity of sesame, black cumin, flax, and poppy seed oil is 63%, 59%, 72%, and 47%, respectively while the combination formulation showed 76% activity. On day 60th at 40°C ± 75%RH, the SPF values of F1, F2, F3, F4 & F5 were 2.53, 6.26, 8.11, 6.09, and 12.01 respectively. F1 and F2 displayed a white-to-yellowish color change on the 60th day at 40°C ± 75%RH. No formulations showed odor change. Phase separation was seen in F1 and F2 after two months at 40°C, while F3, F4, and F5 were stable and their spreadability also increased with time at an elevated condition while the pH of all five formulations tended to decrease. The study results provided evidence that combining essential oils produces effective outcomes without affecting the emulsion system stability.

Background: Placenta accreta is a condition of abnormal attachment of the placenta that could cause massive bleeding complications and increase mortality in patients. Proper anesthetic management and transfusion protocol are required for the patient. Case: A patient with placenta previa total with Placenta accreta Index score is 9 and obesity. The patient is planned to have a cesarean section followed by a total hysterectomy. For anesthetic management, general anesthesia was performed with the insertion of an endotracheal tube as an anticipatory for massive bleeding in this patient. Total bleeding during the operation was 2100 ml, and two bags of Packed Red Cells (PRC) were transfused during the operation. Postoperatively, the patient underwent treatment in the intensive care unit for one day to stabilize his general condition before being transferred to the regular ward. The patient was discharged after 2 days of treatment in the ward. Conclusion: that case can be drawn from this case is the importance of early detection of patients with a high risk of Placenta accreta, so that early treatment and comprehensive preparation can be carried out before termination is done.

Doğasında medeniyet olan insanlar bir araya gelip toplumları oluşturunca mutlu bir şekilde yaşamak için belli bir düzene de ihtiyaç duymuşlardır. Çünkü sadece bir arada yaşamak medeniyet ve mutlu bir yaşam için yeterli değildir. Bu yüzden insanlar medeniyet ve mutlu yaşam için gerekli olan düzenin sınırlarını, şartlarını ve ilkelerini belirlemişlerdir. Bireyin ve toplumun mutluluğunu, birlik beraberliğini temin etmek için de bazı erdemleri esas almışlardır. Toplumun her bireyi bu erdemlere göre yaşadığında düzen sağlanacak ve medeniyet kurulmuş olacaktır. Bu gelişimin sağlanmasında siyaset ve ahlâk kavramlarının çok büyük önemi ve etkisi bulunmaktadır. Tarihsel süreç içerisinde siyaset ve ahlâk konusu ayrı ayrı üzerinde en çok tartışılan, konuşulan ve belli bir sonuca varılamayan konuların başında gelir. Ahlâk ve siyaset felsefesi ile ilgili hususlar İslam filozoflarının da temel tartışma konuları arasında yer almaktadır. Muhtemeldir ki bu kavramlar bugüne kadar olduğu gibi, bundan sonra da tartışılmaya ve güncelliğini korumaya devam edecektir. Bu çalışmada yaşadıkları dönem itibariyle yazdıkları eserlerle siyaset ahlâkı alanına önemli katkı sağlayan Kınalızâde Ali’nin Ahlâk-ı Alâî ve Nasîrüddin Tûsî’nin Ahlâk-ı Nâsırî adlı eserleri temel alınarak siyaset ahlâkı ile ilgili görüşleri değerlendirilecektir.
