Published: August 2024

Malaysia is one of the most traffic accident vulnerable countries in the world. This is due to the reason of high reliance on vehicles and roads as the major transportation in the Malaysian context. The gradual increase in road accidents has caused the congestion of Malaysian Emergency Response Services (MERS) which has further led to problems related to the failure of timely handling bulk of cases thus inadvertently causing fatalities. To mitigate the issues related to the inefficient emergency response measures, an intelligent car crash reporting system known as Autoport has been proposed. The aim is to streamline the process of car crash reporting, diverge the call traffic from the MERS hotline, as well as, reduce the prank calls by implementing machine learning and object detection for automating the reporting task. Once a user uploads a video for reporting, the proposed solution will detect the severity of the car crash and send rescue notification to required authorities via push notifications. The proposed solution is developed with the adoption of the Rapid Application Development methodology. The paper also highlights the system requirements gathering processes by the means of interviews and questionnaires. Besides, the accident severity detection model development and evaluation played a pivotal role in enhancing the validity of the work. This research also includes the analysis of User Acceptance Testing, further validates the proof of concept and viability of the proposed solution in streamlining and fastening the car crash reporting process for better rescue experiences.

This study aims to dwell on the effect of this pandemic on the incidence rate of hip fractures in the elderly Lebanese population. A descriptive retrospective study includes hip fracture surgery elderly patients admitted during the COVID-19 lockdown. The time periods studied corresponded to the two months leading up to lockdown (Period A), two months during lock-down (Period B), and the same two-month period in 2019 (Period C). Data collection included patient demographics, injury mechanism, and treatment of choice. There was no significant difference in the rate of hip fractures in the elderly population during the 3 studies periods (p = 0.826). There was no difference in age, gender, type of fracture, or location of the injury. Head trauma and associated fractures were observed to be higher during the lockdown period of the study (p = 0.003 & p = 0.017 respectively). After stratification according to fracture type, Parkinson's disease was higher in the intertrochanteric group during period B (p = 0.036). Head trauma and associated fractures were also confined to the intertrochanteric group favoring period C (p = 0.038). The national lockdown had little effect on fragility hip fractures requiring surgery. Careful understanding of these injuries should allow a more flexible approach and a timely intervention to accommodate for increased morbidity and mortality associated with these injuries.

O DIREITO FUNDAMENTAL À HERANÇA E A GARANTIA DOS DIREITOS DA PERSONALIDADE PÓS MORTEM: UM ESTUDO DE CASO DOS INSTITUTOS JURÍDICOS ATUAIS E A NECESSIDADE OU NÃO DE UM NOVO REGRAMENTO
Authors: Freitas Veloso Maria Claudia Almendra , Mendes Costa Sebastião Patrício , Alves Samille Lima , Araújo Amanda Beatriz Alves
Published: August 2024

Esse artigo investiga o cenário atual diante da transformação social no ciberespaço, tematizando a proteção jurídica da personalidade e o direito à herança digital. O Patrimônio digital sucessório é realidade e a tutela da transmissibilidade da herança no Brasil é ausente de sedimentação legal e jurisprudencial, gerando insegurança jurídica. Como objetivo principal, buscou-se analisar a proteção póstuma do direito fundamental à herança dentro dos novos limites impostos pelo ambiente digital, haja vista a real necessidade de um novo regramento. No que se refere aos aspectos metodológicos, este estudo constitui-se como exploratório e explicativo, com fulcro na abordagem qualitativa e no método hipotético-dedutivo. Para fundamentação teórica, foi utilizada a pesquisa bibliográfica, com busca em sítios eletrônicos oficiais e em base de dados reconhecidas como a Web of Science, Scopus, Scielo Brasil e EBSCO. Ficou constatado neste estudo que, ao invés de se criar novas leis para atender as especificidades do direito à herança digital, é necessário apenas buscar a reconstrução dos institutos jurídicos existentes como, por exemplo, a refuncionalização do codicilo por ser menos formal e solene que um testamento. Isso tornaria o acesso após a morte mais célere, mais econômico e limítrofe.

Keep Your Joy!: Teaching Critical Pedagogies in Spaces of Intolerance and Resistance
Authors: Grice-Johnson Salandra
Published: August 2024

Black female educators continue to face racism and discrimination in educational settings (Davis & Brown, 2017). Compounding these realities, Black female educators of multicultural and/or critical pedagogies can face resistance from their majority-white student populations in a number of ways. This autoethnographic study reflects on my experiences as a Black female instructor of a multicultural education course at a predominantly white institution (PWI). I reflect on and analyze the student opposition I experienced teaching an undergraduate course on critical pedagogies to pre-service teachers and provide much-needed respite and encouragement for other Black female teacher educators on how to maintain their joy when facing such resistance. Grounded in Black feminist thought (Collins, 2000), this article has implications for teacher education programs, higher education, and teachers of multicultural education.

Sustaining Productivity Through Collaboration: Strategies for Avoiding Burnout When Working Interdependently
Authors:   Utah Valley University, Westover Jonathan
Published: August 2024

This article examines how collaboration, while essential for achieving organizational goals in today's globalized workplace, can also increase employee burnout risks if not carefully managed. It reviews research demonstrating links between heavy workloads, lack of autonomy, poor social support and burnout, noting that when unaddressed, burnout damages worker well-being, productivity and culture. It proposes a framework for sustaining collaboration without burnout across four areas: clear communication, realistic expectations, workload management, and support. It discusses best practices in each area, like weekly team meetings, balanced workloads, and recognition. Real-world examples from a technology company, hospital and nonprofit show applying the strategies in practice by implementing the communication, expectations, workload and support strategies together, which allows leaders to realize collaboration's benefits while preventing excessive stress and burnout. This integrated approach protects both employee health and long-term business success in economies built on teamwork by allowing organizations to continuously innovate through cooperation without losing skilled employees.

The gram-negative bacterium lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is frequently administered to generate models of systemic inflammation. In particular, both kidney and lung are more sensitive to acute injury caused by LPS-induced systemic inflammation. However, there are several side effects and no effective treatment for LPS-induced systemic inflammation. PEGylated PDZ peptide was based on the first PDZ domain of the zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) protein. PEGylated PDZ peptide was analyzed for effects on systemic inflammation induced by LPS. PDZ peptide administration led to restoration of tissue injuries (kidney, liver, and lung) and prevented alterations in biochemical plasma markers. The production of pro-inflammatory cytokines was significantly decreased in the plasma and lung BALF in the PDZ-administered mice. Flow cytometry analysis revealed the PDZ peptide significantly inhibited inflammation, mainly by decreasing the population of M1 macrophages, neutrophils (immature and mature), and increasing M2 macrophages. Using RNA sequencing analysis, the expression levels of the NF-κB-related proteins were lower in PDZ-treated cells than in LPS-treated cells. In addition, wild-type PDZ peptide significantly increased mitochondrial membrane integrity and decreased LPS-induced mitochondria fission. Interestingly, PDZ peptide dramatically could reduce LPS-induced NF-κB signaling, ROS production, and the expression of M1 macrophage marker proteins, but increased the expression of M2 macrophage marker proteins. These results indicated that PEGylated PDZ peptide inhibits LPS-induced systemic inflammation, reducing tissue injuries and reestablishing homeostasis and may be a therapeutic candidate against systemic inflammation.

Microbial secondary metabolites are a rich source for pharmaceutical discoveries and play crucial ecological functions. While tools exist to identify secondary metabolite clusters in genomes, precise sequence-to-function mapping remains challenging because neither function nor substrate specificity of biosynthesis enzymes can accurately be predicted. Here we developed a knowledge-guided bioinformatic pipeline to solve these issues. We analyzed 1928 genomes of
Pseudomonas
bacteria and focused on iron-scavenging pyoverdines as model metabolites. Our pipeline predicted 188 chemically different pyoverdines with nearly 100% structural accuracy and the presence of 94 distinct receptor groups required for the uptake of iron-loaded pyoverdines. Our pipeline unveils an enormous yet overlooked diversity of siderophores (151 new structures) and receptors (91 new groups). Our approach, combining feature sequence with phylogenetic approaches, is extendable to other metabolites and microbial genera, and thus emerges as powerful tool to reconstruct bacterial secondary metabolism pathways based on sequence data.
A frog in hot water: the effect of temperature elevation on the adrenal stress response of an African amphibian

Amphibians, with their unique physiology and habitat requirements, are especially vulnerable to changes in environmental temperatures. While the activation of the physiological stress response can help to mitigate the impact of such habitat alteration, chronic production of elevated glucocorticoid levels can be deleterious in nature. There is no empirical evidence indicating the physiological response of African amphibians to temperature changes, where individuals are unable to emigrate away from potential stressors. To rectify this, we used the edible bullfrog (Pyxicephalus edulis) as a model species to determine the effect of elevated temperature on the adrenocortical response of the species using a recently established matrix. While a control group was kept at a constant temperature (25 °C) throughout the study period, an experimental group was exposed to control (25 °C) and elevated temperatures (30 °C). Mucous swabs were collected throughout the study period to determine dermal glucocorticoid (dGC) concentrations, as a proxy for physiological stress. In addition to this, individual body mass measurements were collected. The results showed that individuals within the experimental group who experienced increased temperatures had significantly elevated dGC levels compared to the control animals. Furthermore, there was a significant difference in the percentage mass change between experimental and control animals . These findings indicate the physiological sensitivity of the edible bullfrog to a thermal stressor in captivity. While this study shows the importance of proper amphibian management within the captive environment, it also highlights the coming danger of global climate change to this and similar amphibian species.
