Published: December 2024

Periodic inspection of dams is vital to ensure safety and minimize environmental and social risks. This study focused on the inspection techniques for earth dams at the Residencial Condominio Area in Goiânia, Goiás, addressing methods such as visual inspection, as well as advanced technologies. Significant issues were identified in dams 01 and 02, including excessive vegetation, coastal erosion, sedimentation, and deterioration of the impermeable membrane, which affect stability and water quality. The study recommends corrective actions such as tree pruning, vegetation control, and repairs to the impermeable membrane, emphasizing the importance of regular maintenance to protect communities and the environment. Another point of observation found in this work is the precariousness of safety and protection barriers for people and animals that live in their neighborhoods.

Published: December 2024

Aims: The aim of this study is to investigate the presence and prevalence of temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) among undergraduate and graduate dentistry students, as well as their awareness of TMD.
Methods: After the study details and research questions were explained to the volunteer participants, survey forms were distributed. Participants were instructed not to write their names on the forms, which were collected in random order. The survey included the Fonseca Anamnestic Index, translated into Turkish by the researchers, along with additional demographic questions. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Chi-Square test, or the Fisher Exact test. Differences between groups were determined with Dunn’s Bonferroni Test. p-values below 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results: According to the Fonseca Anamnestic Index, there is a significant association between TMD and gender. The rate of severe TMD in females (96.77%) was found to be significantly higher than in the mild TMD and no TMD groups. A significant relationship was also observed between class level and TMD (p=0.023); however, this difference is attributable to graduate students. Moderate TMD (26.25%) and severe TMD (25.81%) levels were higher among graduate students compared to the no TMD group (8.94%). No significant association was found between living arrangements (living with family or alone) and TMD. Additionally, no relationship was established between the department in which graduate students were enrolled and the presence of TMD.
Conclusion: This study conducted with undergraduate and graduate dentistry students primarily highlights the relationship between TMD, gender, and class level. The findings suggest a high level of TMD awareness and motivation for treatment among participants. The study did not establish a relationship between class level and TMD at the undergraduate level, nor between the department of study and TMD at the graduate level.

Authors: Öztürk Bedriye , Seki Öz Hilal
Published: December 2024

Aims: Children with clotting factor deficiency need to receive clotting factors intravenously throughout their lives; this
necessity leads to intense interaction between the child and the nurse.
Methods: The study was conducted using projective picture analysis method to examine the perceptions of children with
clotting factor deficiency disease towards nurses. The study was conducted between March 5 and April 12, 2022 in the Pediatric Clinic of Aksaray Training and Research Hospital with 20 children aged 7-11 years with clotting factor deficiency disease. The data were collected through the “Introductory Information Form” and the pictures drawn by the children with the instruction “draw me a nurse”. Data analysis was done by projective picture analysis method.
Results: It was observed that 75% of the nurse drawings in the study contained positive perceptions of nurses. It was found that 40% of the children’s perception of nursing was emotional, 35% was professional, 10% was both physical and professional, 10% was both physical, emotional and professional, and 5% was physical.
Conclusion: It was observed that hemophilic children perceived nurses positively, but they felt anger towards them for opening the vein and thought that they hurt them; however, especially the gifts given, the smiling face and the completion of the procedure made the children feel good. It is recommended that pediatric nurses use this method in children with different diseases.
Diagnosis in The Poetry of Al-Rusafi Al-Balansi, a Rhetorical Study
Authors: Salman Haneen Khaled
Published: December 2024

The term diagnosis forms the basis for the formation of the natural image that dominates poetic texts. It is considered the most important pillar through which poetic creativity is formed. Diagnosis is a stylistic phenomenon that lies in achieving amazement in the recipient. Scholars, ancient and modern, have dealt with diagnosis with theoretical and applied study, and for this reason I decided to study Al-Rusafi’s poetry. Al-Balansi is part of this phenomenon, and from this standpoint, I divided the research plan into an introduction and three sections. The introduction: I dealt with the concept of diagnosis, and a summary of the biography of Al-Rusafi Al-Balansi. As for the first section: I titled it (the motives for diagnosis), in which I dealt with nature and imagination. As for the second section: I titled it (Sensory Images), and it dealt with the visual, auditory, olfactory, and tactile.
Apprehensions with Regard to Commercial Space Flight: Outlook on Space Law
Authors: Abbas Sheer
Published: December 2024

The advent of “space tourism” has induced outer space law to respond and adapt to this dramatic growth because of the principled contribution of private entities in these activities. This article discusses the main legal aspects of licensing, supervision, liability, registration, and health side effects, and how these reveal the influence of space tourism. Because of the moral participation of private individuals in these activities, “space tourism” demands that outer space law be modified and adaptable. Although many issues of ship, crew, and passenger certification have not been defined in international law, these would be evaluated to show that domestic legislative interests may drive the law before it reaches international law. Air and adventure tourism laws are also evaluated. Space are not likely to remain limited to professionally trained individuals and wealthy astronauts. The potential for public access to space raises complex legal, health-related, and ethical questions on the inadequacy of the current international legal instruments addressing the utilization and exploration of outer space. Furthermore, this study is designed to evaluate the role of human presence in spaceflights, accidents that occurred to participants of space missions, and other risks spaceflights may induce on humans. In addition, this study focuses on analyzing existing legal regulations related to astronauts’ health and life protection during spaceflight and how states can address emerging challenges to astronauts’ safety. The existing global legal framework regulating aviation and space operations is unsuitable for the widespread commercial entry into space. This is because it was designed when drafters did not envisage such endeavors to this extent. The insufficient legal clarity should be addressed rapidly to set applicable standards to promote such activities. To conclude, this article compares national space regulations and elaborates on the drawbacks of the current international space regulations.

Published: December 2024

The ShadowCam instrument on the Danuri spacecraft provides high-resolution views of shadowed portions of the Moon, which are illuminated by naturally scattered light from nearby sunlit terrain. The sensitive time-delay integration detector captures high signal-to-noise observations within the permanently shadowed regions and areas in shadow for part of the year. We characterized the geometric properties of the images, enabling accurate placement of observations within the lunar cartographic framework. This work describes the internal and external orientation parameters using laboratory observations and images collected during the cruise and commissioning phase of the mission. We identified a radial distortion in the cross-track direction from these observations, which is correctable during our standard calibration pipeline procedures. We also calculated the pointing of the camera relative to the spacecraft bus within ~0.001°. Using these models, corrections, and the initial ephemeris provided by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute, images can be aligned within 60 m on the surface (95% confidence interval). This calibration and a precise radiometric model will enable reliable interpretation of ShadowCam images and the development of future derived products, including precisely mapped mosaics and meter-scale digital elevation models.

Smart city efficiency assessment model
Authors: Babić Ana , Arbula Blecich Andrea , Dukić Samaržija Nikolina
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to present a model for the efficiency assessment of smart cities based on 38 indicators (ISO standard 37120, ISO standard 37122 and additional indicators) in six dimensions of a smart city in order to produce a ranking of 127 cities in Croatia.Methodology: In this study, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method was used, which was preceded by the translator invariance method due to the standardization of 38 absolute values. The analysis was performed using the input-oriented BCC model. The input values are previously formed indices for six dimensions of smart cities; the index of the development of smart cities was selected as the output.Results: According to the results of the ranking, 33 (26%) cities are efficient, while 94 (74%) cities are inefficient. The most efficient cities are Korčula, Split, Pazin, Rijeka and Dubrovnik, while the most inefficient cities are Skradin, Petrinja, Bakar, Komiža, Glina and Kutina.Conclusion: By identifying the dimensions that have the greatest impact on the efficiency of smart cities, DMUs gain valuable information about the position of an individual city compared to other cities. Providing an overview of existing efficiency levels and suggesting improvement measures enables targeted changes towards efficiency.
Explanatory factors of Eurozone equity ETF tracking error
Authors: Arnerić Josip , Osojnik Luka
Published: December 2024

Purpose: According to the existing literature, it remains unclear whether a specific ETF outperforms or underperforms its benchmark index in terms of tracking error, especially during crisis periods. Therefore, this study concentrates on the largest and most liquid Eurozone equity ETF, iShares Euro Stoxx 50, which tracks the Euro STOXX 50 index, with the fundamental objective of identifying explanatory factors of tracking errors during crisis periods, encompassing the COVID-19 pandemic and the onset of the Ukrainian war.Methodology: The added value of current research lies in the utilization of Markov regime switching regression with two-state variables. This approach is supported by the idea that the influence of explanatory factors on tracking error may vary between bearish and bullish regimes, which typically align with noncrisis and crisis periods, respectively.Results: Empirical findings indicate that an increase in volatility led to a stronger decrease in tracking error during periods of market stress than in a bullish regime, while a negative impact of illiquidity on tracking error is similar for both regimes. Unlike a single-regime model, Markov switching exhibits a negative relationship between the net flows and tracking error, as expected. The effect of premium/discount seemsto be both positive and negative, but a weaker influence was found during a bearish regime due to herding behavior of investors or higher trading costs.Conclusion: This study relies on an ex-ante approach with its main advantage of providing a forwardlooking estimate of tracking error that takes into account changes in market conditions and the ETF’s underlying holdings, unlike historical or ex-post tracking error.

Authors: Ilgin Kübra Saka
Published: December 2024

Purpose: It can be stated that in today’s competitive conditions, where portfolio management is very important, it has become necessary to examine the relationship between global financial assets and major cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. This paper aims to investigate the cointegration and causalityrelationships between Bitcoin, Ethereum, and global financial assets such as gold, oil, the S&P Global 100, the Dow Jones Commodity, and the US Dollar Indices, and to determine the diversification role of Bitcoin and Ethereum comparatively for the period between April 2016 and January 2024. Methodology: The ADF Unit Root, Johansen Cointegration, Granger Causality, Rolling Window Causality tests, and Variance Decomposition Analysis methods were used in the analysis process. Results: Based on the findings obtained from the paper, it was determined that Bitcoin and Ethereum have no cointegration with selected financial asset classes. Granger causality analysis results indicated that there were unidirectional causalities from Bitcoin and Ethereum prices to Dow Jones Commodity Index prices. In addition to the results of the Rolling Window causality tests, it was also determined that there are some causalities between Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other variables, especially after the 2021-2022 period.Conclusion: It can be concluded that Bitcoin and Ethereum are effective portfolio diversifiers throughout the entire period; however, the diversification effects of Bitcoin and Ethereum weakened towards the end of the review period. Therefore, it can be said that Bitcoin and Ethereum act similarly in the global investment portfolio.

Authors: Fraga Potyra Vita , Silva Thaelainy Reis da , Ferreira Júnior Adive Cardoso
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo traz uma abordagem acerca dos custos dos direitos frente ao princípio da reserva do possível e as escolhas trágicas no Brasil. Busca-se evidenciar uma discussão ao confrontá-los ante as limitações estatais e o princípio supra, bem como discorrer as suas influências nas escolhas da Administração Pública. É manifesto que o Estado possui o dever de viabilizar os direitos e as garantias fundamentais previstos na Constituição Federal de 1988 e em leis infraconstitucionais, todavia, deve-se reunir fundos para que não sejam uma mera expectativa, o que desmitifica, em partes, o excesso de onerosidade tributária. Para tanto, a metodologia empregada foi de pesquisa bibliográfica com              abordagem ualitativa, utilizando-se a técnica snowballing.  Derradeiramente, o estudo expõe que a carga tributária nacional não tem seguido o princípio da capacidade contributiva para com os seus contribuintes, além disso, os direitos e as garantias permanentemente enfrentam óbices à sua efetivação. Logo, conclui-se que o agente público deve basear todas as suas escolhas por uma eminente racionalidade ética e econômica em prol da maior eficiência na utilização dos recursos.

Navigating Investor-state Dispute Settlement: The Dynamics Between Investment Protection and Sovereign Control
Authors: Salman Muhammad
Published: December 2024

An emerging key issue in international investment law is the interaction between investor protection and sovereign immunity. This study examines how Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) has developed recently and considers whether it achieves an equitable equilibrium between maintaining state sovereignty and safeguarding investors. Three main areas of disagreement regarding how ISDS affects State sovereignty are the validity of the ISDS mechanism; the scope of obligations subject to enforcement under ISDS; and the occurrence of a "Regulatory Chill." The paper analyses ISDS provisions over three important treaties that balance the needs of investors for a dependable dispute resolution process with state immunity. Recent modifications and court orders shed light on ISDS's difficulties and detractors, including worries about the policy's goals being undermined. The study finds that while the most current treaty offers a far better balance between investor protection and State sovereignty than previous ones, there remains scope for betterment, especially regarding the alleged credibility of the ISDS system. Four significant reforms are proposed to solve long-standing issues: Updating International Investment Agreements (IIAs); Endorsing Regulatory Impact Evaluations (RIE); Establishment of a permanent international investment court; and Creation of appellate body to examine rulings.

Infants in rural and remote populations were presented with positive Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) status when parents were healthy (HIV negative). This was a serious concern to clinicians as to how a newborn baby (within 12 months of birth) could be HIV positive when the parents were HIV negative. The infants had no history of any blood transfusion or surgery. With evolving pathogenesis, viral mutagenesis patterns and spreading mediums of viral diseases, this is a serious question to be addressed. Clinicians treating these infants suspect that this is a case of HIV viral mutagenesis. Assumptions about the cause of tongue ties (ankyloglossia) and its effect on families are prevalent in some rural sub-populations. These underlying myths could lead parent(s) to take their infants to surgical treatment (frenectomy) by unlicensed and untrained persons, sometimes referred to as “quack doctors”. The individuals who perform these frenectomies often use unsterilized surgical instruments that have been contaminated in use with HIV positive patients. As a result, there is a need to conduct a need analysis in rural populations to assess the infant HIV magnitude, including the prevalence and incidence rates of HIV in infants. This research project primarily focuses on finding and contrasting the proportion of HIV positive to HIV negative infants with tongue ties. This project also aims to evaluate the perception and knowledge of tongue ties by mothers or caregivers leading them to seek treatment with unlicensed persons, assessing the impacts of tongue ties on infant breastfeeding and speech. Moreover, to determine treatment needs required on infants with underlying oral health problems due to tongue tie.

Published: December 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected lifestyles, including sleep quality, dietary habits, and body weight status. This cross-sectional study investigated the associations between sociodemographic characteristics, sleep quality, food group consumption with body weight status among university students during Malaysia’s Movement Control Order (MCO). An online survey was conducted with 145 participants, aged 19-24 years old between June - Aug 2021. Data on socio-demographics, sleep quality, food group consumption, and self-reported anthropometric measures were collected. The findings showed 46.2% had normal weight, 37.2% were overweight or obese, and 16.6% were underweight. Majority being 22 years old (80%), female (91.7%), and of Malay ethnicity (93.1%). Sleep quality was reported as fairly good by 44.1% of respondents, and beverages were the most consumed food group (median: 5.42 servings/day). Age was positively correlated with body mass index (BMI) (r=0.179, p<0.05), while dietary intake of cereals and cereal products showed a significant positive association with BMI (r=0.435, p<0.05). Conversely, fish and seafood consumption was inversely associated with BMI (r=-0.185, p<0.05). No significant association was observed between sleep quality and BMI. In conclusion, age and specific dietary patterns, particularly the consumption of cereals and fish, were significant factors associated with body weight status during the MCO period. These findings highlight the need for targeted nutritional education and interventions to promote balanced dietary habits, especially during periods of restricted mobility, to mitigate potential adverse effects on body weight and overall health.

Authors: Parul Dhaka, Priyanka Pradhan
Published: December 2024

As social networking sites (SNSs) have grown in popularity, a new e-commerce paradigm known as social commerce (s-commerce) has evolved. In the context of social commerce, this study investigates the antecedents of trust that impact purchase intention, with a particular emphasis on the fashion sector in India's National Capital Region (NCR). As a quickly expanding e-commerce model, social commerce mainly depends on customer trust to encourage interaction and buying. The study examines the influence of important trust-building elements on consumer purchase intention in the fashion industry, including perceived reputation, perceived size, service quality, economic benefits, and social commerce constructs. Data was gathered quantitatively from NCR consumers, and to evaluate how the items clustered and how the resulting factors matched the constructs we took from the literature, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used. The results show that purchase intention is significantly boosted by trust. For fashion brands and e-commerce platforms hoping to boost customer trust and increase sales in the ever-changing world of social commerce, this study offers useful insights. These findings have ramifications for platform developers and marketers who want to increase consumer engagement and loyalty in the Indian fashion sector.
