Pharmaceutical wastewater (PWW) as an industrial wastewater presents a potential hazard to natural water systems. This wastewater contains organic matter, which is toxic to the various life forms of the system. PWW is one of the major health problems nowadays, not only for aquatic life but also for human beings and the environment. There are several methods such as filtration, advanced oxidation, coagulation and biological membranes been used for the treatment of PWW, however, all of these methods are limited in their results and applications. In this present study, Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) represent a new method for

treating wastewater, generating electricity, and reducing COD simultaneously. A novel H-type MFC connected with a graphite electrode has been designed for bioelectricity generation, COD reduction as well as PWW treatment. The treatment of PWW showed adequate bioelectricity generation such as Voltage, Current, and Power, of about 775 mV, 0.421 mA, and 583.70 mW at 100 Ω respectively. The percentage of the COD removed ranged from 95.2-96.7% and 12-34% at the different process variables. This study established bioelectricity generation and bio-treatment of PWW.
Comparison of Three-Winding Transformer Model Extraction Using FEMM and COMSOL Multiphysics®
Authors: Zaikin Denys
Published: October 2024

This research focuses on simulating a transformer using electromagnetic
field solver software: FEMM and COMSOL Multiphysics®. These tools are
used to simulate and extract the model of a three-winding transformer.
The primary objective of the extracted model is to predict key magnetic
parameters, such as leakage and magnetizing inductances. These
inductances play a critical role in switch-mode power converter
topologies, ensuring proper operation and achieving high efficiency
through zero-voltage or zero-current switching. In this study, the
transformer, based on an ER28/14/11 core, is simulated using both FEMM
and COMSOL, with the resulting models compared to each other and
experimental measurements. FEMM is a free, 2D solver, while COMSOL is a
commercial, 3D solver. This research aims to evaluate the feasibility of
using the noncommercial FEMM tool to simulate complex transformer core
shapes. Transformations of the E, ER, and ETD core types for simulation
in both 2D axis-symmetric and planar problem types are also proposed.
Dell’amore di Dio, e delle sue viscere. Passibilità e impassibilità divina nei dibattiti teologici e filosofici inglesi tra Sei e Settecento
Authors: Tarantino Giovanni
Published: October 2024

Drawing on the argument of Anastasia P. Scrutton that an emotion-free God cannot be described as all-knowing, and the theory of Jennifer A. Herdt of an epoch-making conceptual transition, between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, around the dilemma of the impassibility of a God who is love, this essay examines some coeval English debates on God’s emotions, the divine feminine and proto-feminist reflection on the cognitive function of the feelings.
Carlo Firmian, Friedrich Melchior Grimm e il manoscritto dei Salons di Denis Diderot
Authors: Ferrari Stefano
Published: October 2024

The essay investigates the historical background of the manuscript BnF, n.a.fr. 12961, which once belonged to Carlo Firmian, Plenipotentiary Minister of Austrian Lombardy and an important collector and bibliophile. It contains a series of extracts from Friedrich Melchior Grimm’s Correspondance littéraire, including Diderot’s Salons of 1761, 1763, 1765 and the beginning of 1767. The manuscript copy was commissioned by Firmian from German journalist during the latter’s Italian trip in 1775-1776 and was sent to Milan in May 1779. The request for Diderot’s writings was the result of the Plenipotentiary Minister’s keen interest in the works by the French author, as is also confirmed by his library.
Le mythe de la Pennsylvanie, l’Histoire des deux Indes et les Recherches sur les États-Unis de Filippo Mazzei
Authors: Ansart Guillaume
Published: October 2024

The “Myth of Pennsylvania,” an overly idealized representation of Pennsylvania, its founder William Penn, and the Quakers, was embraced by many 18th-century French philosophes. It appears in Voltaire’s Philosophical Letters (1734), Diderot and d’Alembert’s Encyclopédie (1751-65), and most prominently in Raynal’s influential History of the East and West Indies (1780). According to the myth, Penn’s colony offered an image of the Golden Age and a model of good government. William Penn was portrayed as a great legislator who established a popular representative government and gave laws that guaranteed civil liberties, maintained equality and ensured religious tolerance. As for the Quakers, their morals and customs were deemed to revive the virtues of early Christians. However, around the time of the American Revolution, many liberal intellectuals on both sides of the Atlantic responded critically to such idealistic distortions of American reality, no matter how well intended. Filippo Mazzei, a naturalized American citizen from Italy who played an important role in the War of Independence, is a good case in point. In the third of his four-volume Researches on the United States (1788), Mazzei develops an extended refutation of Raynal’s version of the myth of Pennsylvania. Penn is now depicted as a greedy, sly opportunist who mostly looked after his own interests and those of his family. Similarly, the Quakers are criticized for having always deftly advanced their own political and commercial interests, and for not having clearly supported the Revolution. Mazzei—and his friends Jefferson and Condorcet, who collaborated with him on the Researches in Paris—could only feel irritated by the propagation of utopian myths or fanciful notions about America when the goal of the Revolution was to establish a large modern republic founded upon human rights and a complex legal and constitutional apparatus. Refuting the myth of Pennsylvania meant also discrediting the outdated ideals of the philosopher king and the primitive virtuous utopia.
Lo statuto sociale dell’amore nel Settecento: l’emozione ridefinita da mixité, spazi e diritti
Authors: Plebani Tiziana
Published: October 2024

The essay investigates the mutation that occurred in people during the Eighteenth century regarding the expectation of love: the change that took place in this field of feeling had the power to influence people’s choices and also to prefigure one’s future in ways that differed from family logic and social devices. The feeling of love was no longer seen as a passion irreconcilable with the social order, but rather as a path to the realisation of a full life thanks to the spread of a culture of sensitivity capable of influencing every field of human experience, spreading into all social strata. A mutation that, rather than being an ‘emotional refuge’, as suggested by William Reddy, stimulated new practices of urban sociability that focused on the co-presence of the two sexes, against the segregation of the past, which helped the spreading of greater knowledge and the releasing of new emotions and a new sensibility between men and women, also encouraging an awareness of the ‘rights’ of the heart.
Translating Orientalism. Louis-Mathieu Langlès as editor and translator of English literature between Oriental studies, commerce, and popularisation
Authors: Giusti Emanuele
Published: October 2024

This article delves into the translation and editing work of Louis-Mathieu Langlès (1764-1824), a significant figure in French Oriental studies during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. By examining Langlès’ translations of British literature about Asia, the analysis underscores two interrelated strategies shaping his work. The first strategy involved the dissemination of knowledge about Asia through translations shaped by both a literalist approach to the text and intensive editing practices. These practices resulted in the incorporation of extensive footnotes and additions that served both informative and domesticating functions and highlighted Langlès’ agency as a mediator of knowledge. The second strategy centres on Langlès’ reform project for the French system of teaching and learning Asiatic languages, resulting in the establishment of the École spéciale des langues orientales vivantes in 1795. This strategy is strongly connected with his translation work as it reflects Langlès’ pragmatic vision of Oriental studies as based on the British example, particularly the scholarly activities of individuals working for the East India Company. His translations, therefore, were not mere acts of appropriation but both embodied and encouraged ‘emulation’, allowing us to reveal the interplay of scholarly admiration and political competition and to uncover a distinct strand of Anglophilia within the broader context of early French Oriental studies.
Ancient Sources in Adam Smith’s Theories of Sympathetic Morality and Imagination: Aristotle’s Thought and The Theory of Moral Sentiments
Authors: De Nittis Gianni
Published: October 2024

This essay considers the profound influence of Aristotle’s philosophy on Adam Smith’s theories of sympathetic morality and imagination. In particular, it examines how Smith’s theories, often seen as Stoic, align with Aristotelian concepts; also, it analyses Smith’s interpretation of wonder as more than a philosophical catalyst, but also as a force that enhances sensitivity to virtue and informs moral judgement: which is similar to Aristotle’s view of wonder as the genesis of philosophical and scientific inquiry. Consequently, Smith’s understanding of imagination is seen as a transformative cognitive faculty similar to Aristotle’s idea of it as an innate capacity for mental imagery and sensory perception. This juxtaposition underscores the role of the imagination as a creative dynamics that transcends individual perspective and captures the essence of human experience. Smith’s integration of Aristotelian thought represents thus a distinctive and nuanced contribution to the classical legacy within the Scottish Enlightenment, shaping a deeper understanding of moral and philosophical inquiry.
Diderot: ironia e umorismo nel Salon 1765
Authors: Sperotto Valentina
Published: October 2024

Enlightenment philosophers often used irony in a philosophical manner. But irony is an ambiguous and complex figure of speech that can take on philosophical or anti-philosophical value, depending on the uses made of it. Diderot extensively resorts to irony throughout his works, even in unsuspected places in the Encyclopédie, but can we detect a philosophical use of this figure of speech in works of aesthetics as well? The Salon 1765 is considered here as an emblematic moment of Diderot’s reflection on the visual arts, in which irony is linked to the effort of objectivity of the art critic and to the one of the writer who intends to convey the emotion of the painting to the reader, even when it is negative. Irony therefore seems to perform two main functions: 1) to point out an inappropriate choice of subject (when this demonstrates the sterility of the artist’s ideas or licentious subjects that contradict the moral purpose of the pictorial or sculptural work); 2) to make those who read and cannot see the painting empirically understand its defect of composition, design, colour, rhythm. The irony, which is incorporated in the description, thus gives it a critical and emotional value at the same time, aimed at exercising and educating the readers’ taste.
La Boulangerie e le moltiplicazioni autoriali del barone d’Holbach: studi e prospettive
Authors: Mangione Daniela
Published: October 2024

The figure of Paul-Henry Thiry, Baron d’Holbach is the focus of new projects and growing interest, owing to the centrality of his thought in the dissemination of radical Enlightenment and the manner in which his ideas were propagated. However, there is still a lack of a complete edition of his works: the complexity of the manifestation of his authorship may have contributed to this impasse. The 'collective' vision of knowledge that d’Holbach shared with his Parisian côterie, acquired during his years of study in Leiden, and his reserved attitude towards personal fame, constitute further areas of interest. Recent contributions appear to reconsider d’Holbach's figure through new research perspectives, with particular attention to the strength of his impact on European culture in the eighteenth century and subsequent centuries, as well as on the clandestine book trade.
Schiavitù, conversioni e integrazioni nell’Italia moderna. A proposito di Schiavi del Papa di Marina Caffiero
Authors: Ciappelli Giovanni
Published: October 2024

Drawing inspiration from the presentation of a book, the essay briefly outlines the historiography on slavery and conversions in the early modern age produced in recent decades. Marina Caffiero's volume, based on a peculiar source preserved in the Archives of the Vicariate of Rome, deals with the conversions of Muslims that took place in the Casa dei Catecumeni between the mid-18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. The reconstruction of the numerous stories reveals, together with the pervasive presence of the phenomenon of slavery in the century of the Enlightenment, the ways and motivations of the conversions and the multiple consequences of the past forms of integration even on today's society.

Exophthalmos Revealing Cushing’s Syndrome: A Case Report
Authors: Neima Hassan Aden , Salsabil H. , Rafi S. , Mghari G. El , Ansari N. El
Published: October 2024

Exophthalmos is typically associated with Graves’ ophthalmopathy. Although originally described by Harvey Cushing, exophthalmos is an underappreciated sign of Cushing’s syndrome. We present a case of a patient aged 40 years with no pathological history presenting with generalized asthenia associated with weight loss of 15kg for 2 months, epigastralgia and incoercible vomiting. Clinical examination revealed a normotensive, normocardiac patient with pain on epigastric palpation, bilateral exophthalmos, and an unremarkable cervical examination No cushingoid syndrome especially no facial erythrosis, no purple stretch marks, no buffalo hump, no amyotrophy of the lower limbs. An abdominal CT scan performed before the abdominal pain revealed an adrenal incidentaloma, a right adrenal nodule, well limited, of low density, homogeneous, very discreetly and homogeneously enhanced after injection of contrast medium, whose hemodynamic behavior was in favor of a benign adenoma. The patient underwent surgery for right adrenalectomy, with morphological and immunohistochemical findings in favour of adrenocortical carcinoma, with clinical and biological improvement. We discuss the possible mechanisms causing exophthalmos in patients with either endogenous or exogenous hypercortisolemia.

Authors: Emara Sania , Hazeim Hassan , Shahulhameed Shahna , Abudari Gassan
Published: October 2024

Background: Effective time management and efficient discharge planning are crucial for high-quality hospital patient care. This study aimed to understand the perceptions of nurses and patients regarding these aspects to identify areas for improvement. Method: A survey was conducted with 45 nurses and 60 patients in a hospital setting. The nurses’ surveys focused on their experiences with call bell responsiveness, medication administration, and discharge planning. Patient surveys evaluated their perception of nurses’ responsiveness and involvement in the discharge process. Statistical analysis, including ANOVA and correlation tests, was used to assess the data. Results: Nurses reported mixed experiences with call bell response times and varied capabilities for timely medication administration. Challenges included disruptions from call bells, delays in medication delivery, and constraints in discharge discussions and planning. In contrast, patients generally viewed nurses as prompt and attentive, with satisfactory timeliness of care. However, patients expressed dissatisfaction with discharge education. No significant correlations were found between the demographics and perceptions of either group. Conclusion: This study highlights the disparity between nurses' experiences and patients' perceptions of hospital time management and discharge planning. It underscores the need for improved processes and communication strategies to align nurses’ capabilities with patients’ expectations, thereby enhancing overall patient care and satisfaction.

Socialismo y capitalismo ideales.
Authors: Quer Cueto Santiago
Published: October 2024

Los filósofos Gerard Cohen y Jason Brennan, a través de sus libros ¿Por qué no el socialismo? (2009) y Capitalismo, ¿por qué no? (2014) respectivamente, discuten sobre la superioridad moral del sistema que cada uno de ellos defiende. Ambos autores pretenden hacer una exposición del sistema que respaldan en su versión ideal, la que confrontan con la versión ideal que cada uno tiene del modelo opuesto. La idealización supone, además de que todas las personas son moralmente perfectas, substraerse de características que las expresiones reales de dichos modelos presentan. En este trabajo argumento que ninguno de ellos consigue su propósito pues caen en comparaciones “injustas”, a saber, cada uno compara su modelo idealizado con una versión más bien realista del modelo contrario.

O presente artigo teve como objetivo geral analisar a interconexão entre os distúrbios do sono e o desenvolvimento de transtornos mentais. Para isso, é necessário investigar fatores específicos: avaliar a prevalência de distúrbios do sono em populações com transtornos psiquiátricos, destacar as consequências da privação de sono sobre o humor e a cognição, e o papel do sono na regulação emocional. Esse estudo se justifica considerando a crescente prevalência de distúrbios do sono e transtornos mentais na população global, que têm se tornado uma preocupação significativa para a saúde pública. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura. A pesquisa foi conduzida em bases de dados acadêmicas, como PubMed, Scielo e Medline. A pesquisa foi restrita a artigos publicados em português; b) Seleção de Palavras-chave: Foram utilizadas palavras-chave relevantes, como "Distúrbios do Sono," "Transtornos Psiquiátricos," "Saúde Mental" e "prevenção" no período entre 2019 a 2024. Os dados indicam que a presença de distúrbios do sono, como insônia e apneia, não apenas agrava sintomas de transtornos psiquiátricos, mas também pode atuar como um fator de risco significativo para o seu surgimento. Além disso, a inter-relação entre sono e saúde mental é bidirecional. Enquanto os distúrbios do sono podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de condições psiquiátricas, os transtornos mentais também podem afetar a qualidade do sono, criando um ciclo vicioso que dificulta a recuperação e o tratamento eficaz.

Authors: Melo Ana Clara  Abrahão , Soares Maria Luiza Cardoso Ferreira , Casagrande Maria Eugênia Costa , Toth Maria Vitória  Bugallo
Published: October 2024

Introdução: A otorreia do líquido cefalorraquidiano (LCR) é um sinal sério no contexto de traumatismo craniano. Se qualquer secreção no ouvido for notada após um traumatismo craniano sério, particularmente secreção clara ou sanguinolenta, o paciente deve ser submetido a uma avaliação para otorreia do LCR causada por uma fratura do crânio temporal basilar. Objetivos: discutir a avaliação da otorreia em crianças. Metodologia: Revisão de literatura integrativa a partir de bases científicas de dados da Scielo, da PubMed e da BVS, no período de janeiro a abril de 2024, com os descritores "Otorrhea", "Assessment" AND "Children". Incluíram-se artigos de 2019-2024 (total 9), com exclusão de outros critérios e escolha de 05 artigos na íntegra. Resultados e Discussão: Otorreia significa drenagem de líquido do ouvido. Otorreia resulta de patologia do canal auditivo externo ou doença do ouvido médio com perfuração da membrana timpânica. A história e o exame físico diferenciarão entre a maioria das causas de otorreia em crianças. A avaliação de otorreia em crianças é feita por um médico, que pode incluir: verificação dos sinais vitais e febre, inspeção da orelha e regiões adjacentes para verificar edema e hiperemia, palpação do pavilhão auricular e do trago para verificar piora da dor, exame do meato acústico com otoscópio para verificar a secreção, lesões no conduto, tecido de granulação e corpos estranhos, exame da membrana timpânica para verificar inflamação, perfuração, distorção e sinais de colesteatoma. A maioria das crianças com otorreia tem otite externa bacteriana ou otite média aguda (OMA) com perfuração da membrana timpânica. Pacientes que parecem doentes ou têm otorreia após traumatismo craniano requerem esforços agressivos para diagnosticar e tratar potenciais causas de risco de vida de otorreia (fratura da base do crânio, otite externa necrosante, complicações infecciosas de OMA). Uma vez que um diagnóstico de trabalho é estabelecido, uma consulta rápida com um especialista pediátrico em ouvido, nariz e garganta é garantida para condições de risco de vida (por exemplo, otorreia do líquido cefalorraquidiano [LCR], mastoidite ou outras complicações infecciosas de OMA, otite externa necrosante ou neoplasia) e aquelas que requerem biópsia para diagnóstico definitivo. O tratamento da otorreia pode incluir: Conduta expectante, com observação de 48 a 72 horas e uso de sintomáticos, aplicação de remédios diretamente no canal auditivo para dissolver a secreção e administração de antibióticos, caso a otorreia seja causada por uma infecção bacteriana. Conclusão: A otorreia é a descarga de secreção pelo ouvido, que pode ser sanguinolenta, sero-mucosa ou purulenta. Segundo as recomendações da Academia Americana de Pediatria, você sempre deve iniciar em crianças menores de 6 meses, na presença de otorreia ao exame, temperatura acima de 39ºC, sinais de toxemia ou otalgia persistente por mais de 48 horas.

A enxaqueca, uma forma debilitante de cefaleia, afeta cerca de 15% da população mundial, com maior prevalência em mulheres. No Brasil, o aumento das internações hospitalares devido à enxaqueca reflete o impacto na saúde pública e na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Entre 2013 e 2023, foram registradas 84.985 internações por cefaleia migrânea, com picos em 2019 e 2023. O Sudeste concentrou a maior parte dos casos (32,67%), e a faixa etária mais afetada foi entre 30 e 39 anos. Apesar dos avanços no tratamento, como o uso de antagonistas do receptor CGRP, há desafios no acesso a essas terapias, especialmente em regiões menos favorecidas. Além disso, a maioria das internações (94,28%) ocorreu em caráter de urgência, sugerindo a necessidade de melhorar o manejo preventivo da enxaqueca. Estratégias de saúde pública focadas na educação, prevenção e fortalecimento da atenção primária são essenciais para reduzir as hospitalizações e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.
A new nondestructive monitoring method of the electrical wiring current condition
Authors:   Sayfutdinov Z.G. Bashmakov D.A. Ilin V.I.
Published: October 2024

A new method for monitoring the operating condition of electrical wiring, allowing it to be monitored online is presented. An experimental study is carried out and the results of assessing the current state of electrical wires with insulation are obtained. The use of this method will make it possible to detect in advance a violation of the working condition of the electrical wiring — wear, damage to the insulation, as well as cable breakage. Electrical wiring diagnostics is carried out in the presence of current in the cable, since only under this condition is it possible to measure the analog signal from the electrical wiring.

Keywords

Investigation of the effectiveness of the algorithm for suppressing self-oscillations when starting on the rise
Authors:   Klimov A.V.
Published: October 2024

Using the method of field experiments, the efficiency and effectiveness of the algorithm for suppressing selfoscillations at the intensive start of movement on a slope and an activated ascent retention system were established. According to the research results, it can be concluded that when the self-oscillation suppression algorithm is activated, the amplitude of oscillations of the angular velocity of the TED rotors is reduced by up to 8 times. For torques, self-oscillations are completely suppressed, which indicates the effectiveness of the suppression algorithm. At the same time, the operation of the selfoscillation suppression algorithm led to an increase in the efficiency of the vehicle fixation algorithm on an incline, since the rollback during fixation decreased by 8...15 %.

POLICY FRAMEWORK TO COVER ECO-INDUSTRIAL PARKS PILLARS
Authors:   Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design, Kleshchov Anton
Published: October 2024

The concept of eco-industrial parks has gained significant global attention, particularly in the context of sustainable development goals, which emphasize the necessity of balancing economic growth with environmental stewardship. Industrial zones and industrial parks have traditionally contributed to economic output; however, their environmental footprints present challenges, necessitating a shift toward more sustainable industrial practices. In Ukraine, the need for eco-industrial transformation is further exacerbated by its unique socio-political and economic conditions, where resource efficiency and environmental sustainability are critical for long-term industrial competitiveness. This study aims to propose a comprehensive policy framework for the establishment and governance of eco-industrial parks in Ukraine, focusing on creating a balance between industrial growth and sustainable practices. By utilising mixed-method approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative research methods, this research integrates global experiences—particularly those from China, Italy, and Vietnam—into a model that can be adapted to Ukraine’s specific needs. Key pillars such as regulatory support, management commitment, environmental performance, and industrial symbiosis were identified as central to the successful implementation of eco-industrial parks. The findings demonstrate that structured policy interventions, supported by governmental commitment and cross-sector collaboration, can significantly enhance resource efficiency, reduce emissions, and promote sustainable development. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of aligning industrial and urban planning to foster a holistic approach to sustainable development. The practical implications of this research suggest that by adopting a robust policy framework, Ukraine can improve its environmental performance in industrial zones, enhance industrial competitiveness, and contribute to broader national sustainability goals. This framework can serve as a guide for policymakers and stakeholders, offering a clear roadmap for the transition toward eco-industrial parks that are aligned with both national objectives and international sustainability commitments.
CREDIT MANAGEMENT STRATEGY TO ENSURE THE FINANCIAL STABILITY OF PACKAGING INDUSTRY ENTERPRISES
Authors:   KROK University, Rumyk Ihor , Ivanov Nikita ,   KROK University
Published: October 2024

The article examines the possibilities of increasing the efficiency of credit resource management to ensure the financial stability of enterprises in the packaging industry. It was found that in modern conditions, the study of the assessment of the financial stability of the enterprise was not of a comprehensive nature, but was based, mainly, on the use of the coefficient method, which took place on a static basis and did not take into account the specifics of the industry, did not make it possible to assess the ability of the enterprise to generate cash flows for the implementation of activities. It has been proven that the problem of ensuring financial stability and financial balance of packaging industry enterprises is now an important one, especially in the conditions of uncertainty and instability of the economic environment caused by the war. On the basis of the conducted research, the key factors on which an effective credit management strategy should be based have been determined. In this context, the special importance of a timely and objective assessment of the financial stability of enterprises in the packaging industry, regardless of the forms of their ownership, is emphasized, which should be aimed at finding ways and opportunities to increase profits by means of a timely analysis of the financial state of enterprises. Eleven factors are proposed that should be taken into account when choosing a financial credit institution. A systematic analysis of the financial condition of the enterprise, its solvency, liquidity and financial stability is also necessary because the profitability of any enterprise largely depends on its solvency. Based on the balance sheet plan of the necessary resources, we forecast the sources of their formation, taking into account the level of financial leverage and the funds saved as a result of this at the time of taxation. Choosing the most profitable parameters, the enterprise can immediately determine the directions of saving its own monetary and financial resources, as well as optimize the use of already received ones. It has been established that in modern conditions, the relevance of effective financial management as a system of timely methods and techniques capable of preventing a financial crisis and avoiding risks of loss of financial stability of the enterprise in the future is objectively increasing. The lack of a clear definition of financial stability as an economic category and a system of indicators for its assessment, which requires further theoretical development of the problem.

Published: October 2024

A robust financial management system forms the foundation for business growth and long-term survival. However, there is limited information on the financial management practices that contribute to business growth in the Mbinga district. This study examined financial management and working capital management practices. A semi quasi-experimental research design was employed, utilizing questionnaires distributed to a sample of 62 business owners. Descriptive statistics were analyzed using the SPSS package. The results indicated that 41.9% of business enterprises employed working capital management practices, while 24% used capital structure management practices. Financial management practices were found to enhance management efficiency with a mean score of 3.74, increase the availability of capital with a mean score of 3.61, and improve operational margins with a mean score of 3.56. The study concluded that financial management practices are crucial for business growth and recommended their implementation. The study also found that capital structure management practices were applied to a lesser extent, although businesses showed an understanding of balancing debt and equity for financial sustainability. These findings suggest that the effective implementation of financial management practices is crucial for the growth and performance of businesses in the district. The study concludes that the integration of sound financial management practices contributes to better financial decision-making, risk mitigation, and resource optimization, leading to business expansion and sustainability. From a policy perspective, the study recommends that regulators and stakeholders encourage firms to leverage debt financing due to its associated tax benefits and advantages for financial sustainability. Theoretically, the findings underscore the relevance of agency theory in understanding the dynamics between managers and shareholders, and the principle of optimal capital structure in maximizing firm value. These insights provide a foundation for future research and practical interventions aimed at improving financial management practices in similar contexts.

The specifics and methods of conducting informational and psychological propaganda by the Triple Alliance and the Entente among the troops and population of the enemy during the First World War were studied. The article analyzes the strategies and methods of propaganda used by the Triple Alliance ( Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy ) and the Entente (Russia, England, France) during the conflict, in particular the appeal to mass media and the influence on the morale of military and civilian personnel. The authors also evaluate the effectiveness of these measures and contribute to the understanding of propaganda as a means of information warfare in the context of military strategies. The article highlights the need to improve the national security system. Various approaches to the definition of hybrid warfare are considered, focusing on the context of Ukraine and the peculiarities of the State Border Service. The article analyzes the essence of this concept and general principles related to the protection of national interests at the state border. Special attention is paid to the influence of information and psychological propaganda on military strategies during the First World War, especially on the morale, behavior of troops and the civilian population. The study showed that the success of information and psychological propaganda depends on its ability to adapt to conditions that change depending on the course and needs of the audience, as well as on the use of innovative methods and mass media. Our research encourages further study of propaganda as a tool of war and its impact on contemporary conflicts.

One of the bases of sustainable development of mankind is the health of the young generation. The priority of this issue is especially important in the perspective of European integration processes in Ukraine. Youth is an important component of the human resource that every state should take care of. Preserving, restoring and improving the psycho-physiological condition of young people is the key to the survival and further progress of mankind. The purpose of our research is to analyze the importance of individual factors and their combinations that can affect the health of students. Analysis, synthesis and modeling methods were used to study the state of research. The results of our research were carried out with the help of empirical methods: pedagogical observation, questionnaires, interviews, testing, the method of experimental evaluations. Mathematical statistics methods were used to process the research results. This study explores the social and environmental factors affecting the health of university students in Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of promoting a healthy lifestyle among youth. The research highlights the role of education in shaping health culture, noting gaps in the current system's approach to instilling necessary attitudes toward health. The study draws on data from student health assessments and reveals a high prevalence of chronic diseases, especially among students from radiation-contaminated areas. The investigation further examines the genetic and immunological markers influencing students' health, finding that prolonged stress, radiation exposure, and physical inactivity significantly impact immune responses. Additionally, the research explores the link between thyroid and lipid metabolism issues and students' exposure to ionizing radiation. The findings suggest that moderate physical activity and immunomodulators may help mitigate stress-induced immunosuppression. The study concludes that addressing these social and environmental health determinants is critical for improving the well-being of Ukrainian youth and calls for tailored physical education programs and preventive health measures.

Soil erodibility was the ease with which soil erodes. The study aimed to determine the value of soil erodibility on rubber, oil palm, and teak land at PT Waimusi agroindah. The method used was a very detailed survey, assisted by digital maps. Soil samples were taken based on the study area. Soil samples were taken at 0–30 cm deep and topsoil for soil permeability analysis as well as the completeness of the tools and materials needed. The calculation of the value of soil erodibility on rubber, oil palm, and teak land has moderate criteria. The equation of these criteria in quantitative numbers for oil palm land has a value of 0.18, which was higher than rubber land at 0.15 and teak land at 0.13. While on forest land, the soil erodibility value was 0.04, so it falls into very low criteria. The conclusion of this research was that rubber, oil palm, and teak land obtained soil erosion sensitivity values with moderate criteria, and the results of soil erosion sensitivity values on forest land were classified as very low. This research was one of a series of several factors used to determine the potential for land erosion. Further research needs to be done so that the potential for erosion could be determined from all the factors that affect the potential for erosion.

Published: October 2024

The wireless body area networks have contributed to the changes in healthcare sector by enabling continuous monitoring of biomedical parameters remotely on the patient body and offering real time data transmission. Upon collection of the vital signs, they are transmitted to the gateway node which then forwards them to the remote hospital medical servers. Here, these physiological data items are analyzed and necessary action is taken. Such physiological data include electrocardiograms (ECGs), blood pressure, body temperature, blood oxygen levels, respiratory rate, Electroencephalogram (EEG), Electromyogram (EMG), glucose levels, physical activity and Electrodermal Activity (EDA). In this paper, we develop a technique for securely transmitting this sensitive data from the body sensor unit (BSU) to the remote hospital medical server (HMS).
