Published: July 2024

The article reveals the peculiarities of the implementation of information and communication technologies in the disciplines of physical education in the USA. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the information provision of educational institutions in the USA regarding the education of students' physical culture. The use of new information technologies in the teaching of physical education disciplines is one of the directions of informatization of education and, at the same time, contributes to the formation of information culture as a component of the professional culture of a specialist, the formation of such professionally significant qualities as professional competence, mobility, flexibility, independence. Information technologies open access to information, that is, they provide completely new opportunities for finding professional knowledge and creativity. The use of information and communication technologies in the educational process contributes to its intensification. The creative use of information technologies in the teaching of academic disciplines is based on the integration of pedagogical and information technologies. Informatization of professional physical education raises new requirements for professional qualities and the level of training of specialists. Mastering modern information technologies becomes one of the main components of the professional training of any specialist, including in the field of physical culture and sports, which requires the development and implementation of professionally oriented programs and courses aimed at mastering the basics of the necessary knowledge and accumulation of personal experience of their use in professional activities. Computer technologies, as a part of information technologies, make it possible to form a fundamentally new style of work, which makes it possible to more effectively reveal the creative possibilities and intellectual potential of a person.
FENOMENA KEBERHASILAN FEMINISME (Studi Gender Feminisme Liberal dan Feminisme Radikal)
Authors: Ningrum Wafa Suci
Published: July 2024

Gerakan feminisme diawali dengan kesadaran perempuan akan ketertindasan dirinya serta keinginan untuk mencapai kesetaraan hak dan peran dengan laki-laki secara seimbang. Untuk memahami konsep gerakan feminisme tersebut secara mendalam, fokus penelitian dipersempit pada gerakan feminisme liberal dan feminisme radikal, serta fenomena-fenomena yang terjadi di masyarakat yang berkaitan dengan kedua aliran feminisme tersebut. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif-analitis dalam metode penelitian kualitatif melalui pengumpulan data dari berbagai literatur, artikel, dan observasi fenomena sosial terkait. Ditemukan bahwa feminisme liberal adalah gerakan yang memperjuangkan hak-hak perempuan, khususnya dalam bidang pendidikan, politik, dan peran di ruang publik. Di sisi lain, feminisme radikal menolak institusi keluarga dengan alasan bahwa institusi tersebut cenderung menindas perempuan dengan membatasi hak-hak mereka. Fenomena seperti waithood, unmarried, dan childfree yang marak terjadi di masyarakat membuktikan bahwa gerakan feminisme, terutama feminisme liberal dan feminisme radikal, memiliki pengaruh besar terhadap tatanan kehidupan masyarakat. Penganut fenomena-fenomena tersebut merasa bahwa dengan menganut pandangan feminisme, mereka dapat terbebas dari budaya patriarki, serta tetap mendapatkan hak-hak merdeka atas diri mereka sendiri dan bebas mengekspresikan pilihan hidup tanpa terikat oleh kewajiban terhadap suami dan anak.
From Glasgow to Sham El-Sheikh (COP27): How to raise climate ambition
Authors: Amat Didac ,   PhD candidate in International Climate Change Law, Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), Bargués Pol ,   Research Fellow, CIDOB
Published: July 2024

The Glasgow Climate Pact defined 2020–2030 as a crucial decade for climate change mitigation. Scientific experts say multiple strategies and policies must be designed and implemented over the next eight years in order to limit global warming to 1.5°C. However, the latest United Nations studies report a lack of ambition in mitigation strategies. The most recent COP26 held in Glasgow (United Kingdom) brought no breakthrough. Why do climate negotiations fail? To answer this question, this article will address the multiple meanings of “climate ambition”. We analyse and contrast the main actors’ perspectives on ambition: the ecomodernist vision of Western countries, the limits to growth requested by prominent scientists, the post-developmental approaches of the Global South, and the compensatory vision of the fossil fuel-dependent countries. A few months before COP27 – to be held in November 2022 in Sham El-Sheikh (Egypt) – it is essential to find common ground between the different visions. If we want 2020–2030 to be a successful decade, a shared definition of climate ambition has to emerge.

Infections Connected with Organ and Tissue Transplantation
Authors: Laudy Agnieszka E. , Tyski Stefan
Published: July 2024

Transplantology is a branch of medicine that is developing rapidly. Transplanted whole organs or segments of organs may be recovered from either living or deceased donors. New methods of preserving transplanted solid organs, including the kidney, liver, heart, lung, and pancreas, as well as tissues, such as the cornea and skin, are being developed. Preservation fluid, which is used to perfuse and store the donated organ or tissue, should reduce biological deterioration of organs and tissue, attenuate ischemia/reperfusion-induced cell/tissue injury, and protect against damage. Lowering the storage temperature of organs significantly reduces the risk of damage. Efforts are also made to shorten the time between collecting the organ or tissue from the donor and transplanting it in the recipient. However, during transplantation, the recipient may become infected, primarily with bacteria and fungi. Infections of organ recipients occur most often due to unhygienic organ collection, improper handling and transport, and inappropriate preservation conditions, especially contamination of preservation fluid. The literature on contamination of organ preservation fluid and infections in graft recipients is very diverse, both in terms of the isolated bacterial and fungal species and the number of incidents. A large percentage of contaminating microorganisms belong to the generally non-pathogenic skin microbiota, but there are also cases of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Besides, the transplanted organs themselves may pose a danger. They may contain latent microorganisms, mainly viruses and parasites, that could be activated in a patient who has been subjected to immunosuppression to reduce the risk of organ rejection.
Assessing the control of the disease on current treatments available in Romania for hereditary angioedema patients
Authors: Bara Noemi Anna , Nadasan Iris , Nadasan Valentin , Deleanu Diana
Published: July 2024

Background: Acute treatment must be permanently accessible for every patient diagnosed with hereditary angioedema (HAE). In many cases this type of therapy does not provide/offer sufficient control of the disease, so long-term prophylaxis (LTP) is recommended. In the case of regular and prolonged/extended administration of drugs, the route of administration is essential. The aim of the investigation was to assess the control of HAE among patients in Romania receiving the available medications, while also examining potential correlations within the outcomes.

Material and methods: A phone call was made to all adult patients registered in the Romanian HAE Registry. Patients with confirmed diagnosis of HAE who had at least one angioedema attack in the last three months were asked to complete, online, the angioedema control test (AECT) for one- and three months respectively. AECT scores were calculated according to the authors’ instructions.

Results: A total of 121 patients were contacted. Of these, 83 complies with the eligibility criteria and 56 completed the questionnaires (response rate 67.4%), 18 (32.1%) men and 38 (67.9%) women. Acute, home administered treatment with Icatibant or pdC1-INH was available for every patient during the study time. Nine (14.5%) participants used LTP too, with pdC1-INH. These treatments ensured an adequate control of the disease in only 13 patients (21%) in case of the three-month AECT, of whom 2 used LTP. The one-month questionnaire showed a well-controlled disease in 14 patients (23%), from which only 1 was on prophylactic therapy.

Conclusion: In most Romanian HAE patients, the available drugs do not offer a proper control of the disease. Even though a first-line drug for LTP is available, its administration route by intravenous injections makes it inconvenient for many patients, highlighting the necessity for new, easy-to administer drugs for HAE patients from our country.

Authors: Cighir Anca , Budin Corina Eugenia , Cighir Teodora , Mare Anca Delia , Man Adrian
Published: July 2024

Salmonella is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, motile, facultative anaerobic rod. The most studied species are Salmonella typhi and paratyphi (causing typhoid fever) and non-typhi Salmonella species (which can cause different clinical syndromes - gastroenteritis, disseminated infections, etc.). A 61-year-old male patient with multiple comorbidities (including myelofibrosis) presented to the Pulmonology outpatient department, Clinical County Hospital of Târgu Mureș, with a mucopurulent nocturnal cough. Paraclinical examinations showed the presence of a pleural empyema, which was evacuated in local anesthesia. The pleural fluid was sent to the Microbiology Department for bacteriological testing, where a fluoroquinolone-resistant strain of Salmonella spp. was detected. The patient received antibiotic treatment according to the antibiotic susceptibility testing. Due to the persistence of the symptoms, the patient returned two weeks later, when another puncture was performed. Salmonella was isolated again, but the strain showed a higher resistance to antibiotics. The two strains were compared using molecular methods of diagnosis (Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus Polymerase Chain Reaction - ERIC-PCR), the results showing a similarity of 92%. The occurrence of an extra amplicon band in ERIC-PCR suggests an important change in the bacterial genetic material, potentially related to acquisition of antibiotic resistance factors.

Published: July 2024

The economy is currently experiencing developing conceptual instability and a flurry of views. This structure imposes external demands on businesses and, most importantly, on the people who operate as the enterprise’s main engine. The company’s top management has the primary responsibility for easing internal decision-making factors that are causing pressures to escalate. If this doesn’t happen, external pressures may become exponential internal pressures that ultimately lead to the company’s destruction as it finds itself at the cross-point of the pressures.

The working perspective of the irrational and the bidirectional hierarchical relationships, as well as the interactions between technological evolution and human resource management, are all covered in this paper’s 360-degree view of a company’s productivity ecosystem. Additionally, we try to identify certain potential standard traps that might have an impact on the company’s medium- and long-term viability as well as short-term productivity.

Published: July 2024

The process of digitalization has become an increasingly prominent concern in contemporary times. Despite the considerable investments made by national governments and international organizations, there remains a limited understanding of the success rate of digitalization initiatives, with only a third of such processes demonstrating notable achievements. The purpose of this study is to identify the main factors influencing the digitalization of managerial processes and the effects they have in the different stages of adoption, implementation, development, and post-implementation of organizational digitization strategies. We classified these factors into distinct categories to find barriers, determinants, challenges, decision-making, influence, risk, and critical success factors. The research analyzed 2590 papers extracted from the Web of Science database. Our methodological approach integrates bibliometric analysis with systematic literature review, following a rigorous 17-step process outlined in the Prisma P methodology 2020. Upon conducting our study, we identified 175 factors influencing digitalization decisions and their outcomes. We structured them by combining the PESTLE analysis, which evaluates external factors, such as politics, economics, socials, technological, legal, and environmental, with analysis of organizational factors, internal, by organizational structure, organizational culture, human resources, internal processes, business strategies, and management skills. The approach of the analysis and interpretation of the results gives the paper originality. The information provided through this research is helpful to practitioners in developing digitalization strategies and researchers as a basis for future studies.
Personalized Cardiology
Authors: Apetrei Eduard
Published: July 2024

Personalized/precision cardiology is a great hope of our times. In daily practice, we apply personalized, but not precise, cardiology: we take individual patient histories and perform individual clinical examinations, but we treat using general rule, general evidence-based guidelines… We do hope, in the near future, to take individual examination and treat using individual rules.

Genuine, meaningful precision cardiology will rely heavily on genetics and artificial intelligence, but lifestyle, individual risk factors, patient and family compliance to treatment, and genetic makeup can influence diagnostic accuracy and treatment effects and should not be neglected. Extensive data exists regarding applications of artificial intelligence in the practice of precision cardiology, but we lack the systems that would translate its potential into clinical outcomes for real patients.
Experimental Analysis of the Post-Fracture Behaviour of Laminated Glass With Bolted Connections
Authors: Ondrušková Lucia , Brodniansky Ján , Brodniansky Ján , Klas Tomáš
Published: July 2024

Ensuring the sufficient residual resistance of glass structures after the failure of one glass ply to the failure of all the glass plies is an integral part of the design of glass structures. This paper presents an experimental study of bolted connections in laminated glass during three stages of a glass specimen: an intact glass specimen, a specimen with one ply of glass broken, and a specimen with both plies of glass broken. The effect of the type of glass was observed. The experiment proved that laminated glass made from thermally-toughened glass with bolted connections in its unfractured state has significantly higher resistance than laminated glass made from annealed glass. In a state of both plies of glass broken, the specimens made from annealed glass showed a higher residual resistance than specimens made from thermally toughened glass. The performance at this stage was also influenced by the temperature and loading speed. The expected strength of the glass was calculated on the basis of numerical models.

Authors: Boukour Salima , Lafifi Brahim , Benmalek Mohamed Larbi
Published: July 2024

The objective of this study is to assess the impact of incorporating rubber tire waste and brick fillers as a substitute for sand in cement mortar samples. The evaluation includes measurements of the bending strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity, and displacement. The replacement of sand by rubber waste (RW) and brick waste (BW) at 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% for rubber waste and 0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, and 10% for brick waste by volume was experimentally conducted. According to the findings, the introduction of rubber waste leads to a significant reduction in the flexural strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity, and displacement. The brick waste can be considered a suitable filler, which minimizes the negative effect of rubber tires and tends to result in suitable mixtures. The optimal values (10.10% for the RW and 10% for the BW) showed good agreement with the experimental results, with differences of 1.85%, -4.73%, and -4.48% for the displacement, flexural strength, and dynamic elastic modulus, respectively.

Authors: Darvishvand Hamid Reza , Taghia Seiyed Ali Haj Seiyed , Afshari Navid
Published: July 2024

The interval of time after pouring concrete is an important factor, which directly affects the timing and cost of construction. The case study that was investigated in this research, is a tunnel project located in Iran. Eighteen mix designs were prepared using properties such as different water-cement ratios and the use of two types of superplasticizer with different dosages. The optimal mix designs among the samples were separately specified.

Concrete mix designs with different curing ages were made to specify the minimum curing time in which the concrete could gain the required compressive strength. Moreover, the concrete’s compressive strength was measured for different ages in order to determine the minimum time interval. For a better insight, two mathematical equations were derived to estimate the minimum curing time and time interval. Finally, a statistical analysis was conducted in order to determine the proper time intervals. Moreover, the analysis specified the impact rate of the research parameters (i.e. the type and dosage of superplasticizer, curing time, and water-cement ratio) on the compressive strength

Published: July 2024

Objective: This work aims to evaluate the physical and alterability properties such as resistance to staining and chemical attack of two natural stones (Siena White and White Marble) and two artificial agglomerated stones (Aldan White and Galaxy White), using Brazilian technical standards as methodology. ABNT NBR 15845 (2015), NBR 16596 (2017) and NBR 10545 (2017).
 
Theoretical Framework: Ornamental stones, such as granite, marble and quartzite, are valued in construction and decoration for their durability and natural beauty. Artificial agglomerated stones are industrially produced to imitate the appearance of natural stones, offering additional advantages such as greater uniformity and resistance. Both options have their various aesthetic and functional applications.
 
Method: Ten specimens measuring 60 x 60 x 20 mm were used for each material. Apparent density, apparent porosity and water absorption tests were carried out. To determine resistance to chemical attack, ABNT NBR 16596 (2017) was used, where the stones were exposed to a variety of chemical agents. The determination of stain resistance was carried out according to the ABNT NBR 10545-14 (2017) standard in an adapted form. The samples were exposed for 24 hours to penetrating agents and household products. Subsequently, the material was classified according to the ease of removing stains, after the cleaning steps described in the standard.
 
Results and Discussion: The results showed that natural stones and artificial agglomerates were satisfactory in meeting the requirements of the ABNT NBR 15844 (2015) standard, as the lower porosity and reduced water absorption generally make these materials more durable and easier to maintain, especially in environments where the Exposure to moisture and liquids is an important factor, such as in kitchens and bathrooms.
 
Research Implications: Evaluate the physical indices, staining and chemical attack of natural stones and artificial agglomerated stones produced by the industry.
 
Originality/Value: Carry out tests on natural stones and artificial agglomerates in materials sold in industry and certify their technological characteristics through tests established by Brazilian standards.
