AIM: The objective of the study is to evaluate the performance of an innovative model of hospital activity known “Diffuse Hospital” (DH) that involved 3 hospital wards/departments (A, B and C) located throughout Italy and the Reference Hospital (RH) that organised the construction of this model.
METHODS: An organisational retrospective observational study was conducted on the orthopaedic ward of each hospital from March 2022 to March 2023. Hospitals A, B and C had organisational differences in relation to the working relationship of healthcare professionals, the care pathways implemented, the presence or absence of an emergency department and the management of operating theatres. The primary indicator was the number of Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs) provided by the individual facilities. Additionally, a series of indicators were collected, and to enable comparison, these indicators were calculated in relation to the available resources.
RESULTS: The total number of DRGs provided by the DH was 3904, broken down into 1187 at Hospital A, 1851 at Hospital B and 866 at Hospital C. The RH comparison standard recorded 1603 DRGs. Hospital B showed higher DRG indicators of 39.7, 2.5 and 30.9 percentage points, respectively, than the RH. In relation to theatre activities and healthcare staff, Hospitals A and C revealed lower scores than the standard.
CONCLUSIONS: The DH model may become a useful tool in healthcare policy strategies to enable national RHs to deliver treatments with high standards of care at a territorial level. The facilities involved in the DH organisational model produced different outcomes in terms of both efficiency and clinical outcomes. Where there is no direct management by the RH of healthcare staff, care pathways and operating theatres, replication of the standard is more difficult and outcomes are poorer. In the hospital where there is no need for emergency surgical activity and scheduling is concentrated within the week, better efficiency levels can be achieved.

AIM: The use of upper eyelid lipofilling to prevent ocular complications in patients affected by facial nerve palsy is compared to other treatment options.
CASE PRESENTATION: Ten patients treated with lipofilling of the upper eyelid, who were indicated for facial rehabilitation were identified from the Maxillo-facial Surgery Unit, Policlinico Umberto I. For all patients, fat harvested from the abdomen was processed with soft and short centrifugation.
RESULTS: Satisfactory aesthetical and functional results were obtained in most cases. All patients reported a considerable reduction in the use of artificial tear drops and ointment for corneal lubrication. A second procedure was needed in one case to refill the eyelid, and in another one to correct poor aesthetical results. No patients developed postoperative ocular surface disorders.
CONCLUSIONS: The lipofilling of the upper eyelid procedure was easy to perform, leading to minimal complications rate. Given the small sample size and variability of samples collected in the current study, future studies involving larger cohorts are required to validate the efficacy of upper eyelid lipofilling in comparison to other treatments.

Data Protection Policy Regulations in India
Authors: M.L Dr. A. Vijayalakshmi
Published: February 2025

Indian Constitution under Article 21 ensures that "no one shall be denied his life or freedom of movement except under a process established using law." The goal of this basic right is to defend against infractions on individual freedom or taking one's life provided it is important to carry out a process imposed by law. The Supreme Court in India has interpreted and included the "protection of the right to privacy, properties & data" under "personal liberty," even though it is not specifically mentioned in the article. The Indian government has formulated many policy guidelines, laws, and regulations in the recent years for data protection and privacy. This paper aims to investigate the topics of data analysis and the right to privacy in the digital era. This study examines privacy concerns by examining circumstances in which user-provided data may be abused or, in certain cases, utilized against the individual who submitted it. The usefulness of the IT Act and other current privacy-related laws, and the extent to which they include data protection rules, are also examined in this research. The implementation of regulations in one of these sectors is going to be examined and contrasted since both private and public sectors collect data in an equal manner. Recently, experts led by former Supreme Court of India Judge B.N. Srikrishna were appointed by the Ministry of Information Technology and Electronics to write a law protecting data protection and privacy of Individuals.
Role of Smart Contract in Arbitration: A Critical Analysis
Authors: Niriella M.A.D.S.J.S.
Published: February 2025

Smart contracts are programming programs that, without any involvement of a reliable authority, can be reliably carried out by an internet of mutually distrusting nodes. Smart contracts, which are integrated into block chains, allow an agreement's terms to be automatically enforced without the need for a third party to be contacted. The advancement of technology has been continuing for a while. Technology's advancement has made it possible for it to enter the legal sector and, with it, the complementary conflict resolution sector. Given this, the writing aims to accomplish three goals. It starts by discussing the arbitral framework, which does not categorically prohibit the use of new technology during arbitral procedures. Second, it looks at how arbitration and new technologies like block chain technology, intelligent contracts, large-scale data, intelligent machines, and crypto currency work together. It suggests that whereas advances in technology improve and expedite the resolution of disputes, the arbitration process offers protection to the tech sector and these developing technologies. The key characteristics of block chain technology that make it one of the most revolutionary technologies today are its decentralization, self-control, peer-to-peer relationships, fixed records, and time stamps. This article, therefore, focuses on the use of block chain technology and its crucial role in the digitalization of land records within the context of India. However, the lack of widespread adoption of smart contracts is primarily due to users' lack of clarity about whether they could enforced as relationships under state contract laws nowadays in operation.

La producción de petróleo y gas natural en el horizonte global del 2030
Authors:   Universidad de Barcelona, Marzo Carpio Mariano
Published: February 2025

Durante el próximo cuarto de siglo, carbón, petróleo y gas, seguirán siendo indispensables para cubrir el crecimiento de la demanda energética global. Para ello, aparentemente, el mundo dispone de suficientes reservas y recursos. Sin embargo, el aumento continuado de la producción de petróleo y gas natural a partir de fuentes convencionales presenta cada vez más riesgos y estos constituyen una seria amenaza para asegurar las previsiones de demanda a medio y largo plazo. Al margen de consideraciones geopolíticas diversas, dichos riesgos incluyen: la disminución del volumen de los descubrimientos, un rápido declive de la producción de los campos de petróleo en explotación y la existencia de barreras que pueden dificultar la concreción de las inversiones necesarias. Para mitigar estos riesgos no cabe otra alternativa que apostar por la eficiencia, el ahorro y la diversificación de las fuentes de suministro energético, prestando especial atención al desarrollo de fuentes autóctonas como las renovables.
Costes del cambio climático en el País Vasco por riesgo de inundación
Authors:   Universidad Pública de Navarra, Osés Eraso Nuria
Published: February 2025

El calentamiento global puede modificar el régimen de precipitaciones, tanto en intensidad como en distribución temporal, alterando la frecuencia de posibles inundaciones. La probabilidad o frecuencia de una inundación junto con el daño que dicha inundación puede causar determinan el riesgo de inundación. El presente análisis estudia el efecto potencial que el cambio climático tiene sobre las curvas de probabilidad-daño que caracterizan el riesgo de inundación así como los efectos del desarrollo económico y el cambio social sobre la estimación de daños. Se presenta una estimación cuantitativa de este riesgo para la cuenca del río Urola. Estas estimaciones son relevantes para la toma de decisiones públicas en materia de gestión de riesgos.
Competitividad y fuga de carbono: el caso de la economía vasca
Authors:   Basque Centre for Climate Change, González Eguino Mikel
Published: February 2025

El cambio climático y la elevada dependencia de las energías fósiles hacen necesario avanzar hacia una economía baja en carbono. Un futuro sin «carbono» supone una revolución energética y económica sin precedentes que afectará a la competitividad de las empresas. Este trabajo identifica los sectores vulnerables a un aumento del precio del CO2 para el caso particular de la economía vasca. La «fuga de carbono» podría dañar a las economías locales y elevar las emisiones globales si la actividad migrara hacia países con tecnologías menos eficientes donde el CO2 no está regulado. Los resultados sugieren que un 4-6% de la actividad productiva estaría directamente expuesta a un riesgo de «fuga de carbono»
'Estudio sobre el potencial transformador de las sociedades en emergencia energética
Authors:   Universidad del País Vasco, Bermejo Gómez de Segura Roberto
Published: February 2025

Asistimos a la proliferación de sociedades que se declaran en emergencia energética a consecuencia del techo de extracciones de petróleo y que empiezan a transformarse a un fuerte ritmo para mitigar, en primera instancia, los impactos del techo. La constatación de la proximidad de la crisis energética supone un salto cualitativo, porque se percibe una amenaza muy próxima y grave, y por ello impulsa a actuar con urgencia y a emprender actuaciones radicales. Suelen empezar con análisis de vulnerabilidad, con el fin de determinar los sectores económicos y sociales que serán más fuertemente afectados y de poner en práctica políticas de mitigación. Posteriormente definen estrategias que identifican las políticas necesarias para eliminar con rapidez la dependencia de los combustibles fósiles. Estas políticas se corresponden, en general, con los principios de sostenibilidad: energía solar, cierre de los flujos de los materiales, promoción de políticas sostenibles de transporte, descentralización y autosuficiencia productiva, diversidad, cooperación, cohesión social, etc. A pesar de que el fenómeno es muy complejo, lo cual limita la capacidad de evaluar el alcance de las transformaciones emprendidas, existen elementos suficientes para concluir que estamos ante experiencias muy notables. Y por ello constituyen referentes de gran importancia para el resto de las sociedades en el umbral de un largo periodo de crisis económica y social provocado por el proceso de agotamiento del petróleo.

Objetivos empresariales, regímenes de crecimiento macroeconómico y finanzas
Authors:   University of Lille, Dallery Thomas , van Treeck Till ,   Hans Boeckler Foundation
Published: February 2025

Partiendo de la teoría postkeynesiana de la empresa, identificamos distintos agentes interesados (stakeholders) dentro y fuera de la empresa, y evaluamos sus intereses potencialmente conflictivos. Dependiendo del poder negociador de estos agentes, podemos distinguir distintos regímenes de crecimiento macroeconómico caracterizados por la prioridad atribuida a la consecución de los objetivos por parte de los grupos sociales dominantes. Así como en un trabajo anterior hemos analizado las diferentes configuraciones institucionales del capitalismo, que denominamos fordismo y financiarización, en el marco de un modelo macroeconómico consistente stock-flujo, en éste nos centramos en relacionar la dinámica de crecimiento económico con la actualización de la teoría postkeynesiana de la empresa. Basándonos en este análisis microeconómico, resaltamos el riesgo de fragilidad financiera y la inestabilidad macroeconómica derivada del capitalismo financiarizado.
Current financial crisis: the end of financial liberalisation?
Authors:   Univesity of Cambridge, Arestis Philip , Troncoso Baltar Carolina ,   University of Cambridge, Cavalcante Anderson ,   University of Cambridge
Published: February 2025

The current financial crisis has called the role of the monetary policy into question and has also re-opened the debates about a new regulation and the need of prudential controls of banking activity. This paper argues that the origins of the current crisis can be found in two interrelated elements that have been operating since the decade of the seventies: the financial liberalization policies implemented in developed and developing economies, and the economic policy based on the new consensus in macroeconomics. This new macroeconomic policy was focused on the monetary policy, with the downgrading of fiscal policy, and in the use as a main instrument of the continuous changes in the interest rates in order to control inflation rates. As a result, a huge and unprecedented liquidity and household borrowing has been generated in the main world economies, mainly in the USA and the United Kingdom, that is in the origin on the current crisis.
THE IMPACT OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE ON MALE AND FEMALE FERTILITY: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Peixoto Brito Gabriela , David Vieira Carolina
Published: February 2025

Introdução: Com o mercantilismo, o uso de drogas se expandiu tornando-se um problema social. As drogas de abuso (DA) são substâncias lícitas e ilícitas que alteram o estado mental e podem levar à dependência física e psicológica. São elas: opioides, estimulantes psicomotores, depressoras do sistema central e alucinógenos. O uso excessivo das DA pode afetar o sistema reprodutor feminino e masculino, podendo ocasionar a infertilidade, a qual é definida pela dificuldade de um casal engravidar após 1 ano de relações sexuais sem uso de contraceptivos. Tal problema pode ou não ser resolvido com as técnicas de reprodução assistida (TRA). Objetivo: Abordar sobre o impacto das drogas de abuso na fertilidade de homens e mulheres em idade reprodutiva. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo de revisão bibliográfica de trabalhos e livros da língua portuguesa, inglesa e espanhola, por banco de dados Scielo, Google Academy, Capes e PubMed. Revisão de literatura: A demanda e oferta das DA intensificaram o impacto do problema mundial das drogas, resultando em aumento dos transtornos relacionados ao seu uso. A maconha diminui a contagem e a motilidade dos espermatozoides, minimiza a concentração espermática, gera anormalidades morfológicas e nos processos de maturação dos oócitos e de desenvolvimento pré-implantação. O álcool provoca modificações histológicas, epigenéticas e danos do DNA na linha germinativa testicular, menor contagem de espermatozoides, além de interferir no desenvolvimento embrionário e na diferenciação celular, alterando os hormônios sexuais. A cocaína reduz o volume de sêmen, contagem e motilidade dos espermatozoides, induz fragmentação de DNA nos gametas, produção de oócitos de baixa qualidade, declínio da reserva folicular e menopausa precoce. Analgésicos opioides alteram a ovulação e a menstruação por desordem hormonal, gera astenozoospermia, leucocitospermia e modifica a motilidade, morfologia e quantidade de espermatozoides. As anfetaminas também prejudicam os três últimos fatores citados do gameta masculino, além da concentração espermática, e ocasiona uma baixa na reserva e vitalidade ovariana. Considerações finais: As DA afetam negativamente o sistema endócrino, a formação e o DNA dos gametas, a estrutura e funcionamento do sistema reprodutor feminino e masculino, podendo causar infertilidade. Essas alterações podem ser reversíveis ou irreversíveis, e as TRA podem ajudar a tratar a infertilidade e possibilitar a concepção.

Utilization of Mixed Maggot Flour (Hermetia illucens) and Taro Leaves (Colocasia esculenta) for the Growth of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Authors: Alkausar Triawan , Angelica Mey Chika
Published: February 2025

Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a popular freshwater fish with promising development prospects due to its clean white flesh, high nutritional content, and affordability. However, feed costs in tilapia farming pose challenges, particularly with rising prices of fish meal, the primary protein source. Maggot (Hermetia illucens) and taro leaves (Colocasia esculenta) offer an alternative protein source for tilapia feed due to their high protein content. This study, conducted over 30 days in Marga Agung Village, South Lampung, tested the effects of different feed mixtures using a completely randomized design (RAL) with 4 treatments and 3 repetitions. The study involved 120 tilapia, evaluating parameters such as weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR), absolute length, feed conversion ratio (FCR), temperature, and pond clarity. Data analysis via ANOVA and Duncan's test showed the highest results in the control group (P0), with an average weight of 8.43g, an SGR of 28%, and an FCR of 1.42. Treatment P2 (50% maggot and 50% taro leaves) produced comparable results, with an average weight of 8.09g, an SGR of 27%, and an FCR of 1.44. Environmental conditions remained stable across treatments, with pH and water clarity showing minimal variation. These results suggest that a 50% maggot and 50% taro leaf mixture could be a viable alternative to fish meal for tilapia feed without significant differences in growth performance compared to the control.

Authors: Aulia Ulmillah  , Rozalina  , Panggabean Siti Munawarah
Published: February 2025

The West Coast is a coastal area rich in marine resources, including seaweed. The utilization of seaweed by the local community remains limited, primarily sold at low prices. The predominant seaweed species found in the West Coast area are Sargassum polycistum and Ulva lactuca. These two types of seaweed can be utilized as nutrient-rich, environmentally friendly organic fertilizers that benefit plants. This study aims to evaluate the quality of fertilizers derived from Sargassum polycistum and Ulva lactuca through the composting method. The data collected include physical and chemical observations. Physical quality observations cover aroma, color, texture, pH, and temperature, conducted from the seventh day until the compost is mature. Chemical quality tests of the organic fertilizer include measurements of total nitrogen (N), total phosphorus (P), total potassium (K), and organic carbon (C). The results were then compared with the compost quality standards outlined in SNI 19-7030-2004. The findings indicate that the best physical and chemical quality organic fertilizers meeting SNI standards were produced from the compositions of 5 kg Ulva lactuca + 700 mL EM4 and 5 kg Sargassum polycistum + 700 mL EM4.

Estrategias de Modelación del Contacto entre una Presa de Hormigón y su Fundación
Authors: Caballero Carina R. , Pernich Adriana
Published: February 2025

Cuando se enfrenta la modelación numérica de una presa, además de requerirse la caracterización adecuada del material que la compone, se debe enfrentar un desafío importante que es caracterizar el macizo de fundación. El macizo presenta gran variabilidad en la distribución espacial de sus propiedades de las cuales solo se conocen valores puntuales de los sondeos de la época de la construcción de la obra. Los parámetros geotécnicos, que participan de las verificaciones de estabilidad de las presas a lo largo de la vida útil, dependen del tipo de modelación que se considere. En este trabajo se presenta la modelación de una presa de contrafuertes y su fundación en la que se ha tenido en cuenta la variación de los parámetros geotécnicos por zonas. En base a estos parámetros resistentes equivalentes, el macizo rocoso se modeló como un medio continuo e isótropo. Las discontinuidades consideradas en el modelo se concentran en la interfaz entre el hormigón de los contrafuertes y el macizo. Las acciones utilizadas corresponden al escenario de verificación extrema, para el cual no se produjeron ni desplazamientos ni falla en el sistema, con lo cual el factor de seguridad fue mayor o igual a la unidad. Mediante el ajuste de los parámetros del modelo y diferentes estrategias para representar el macizo se busca tratar de determinar cuál puede ser la combinación que lleve a un factor de seguridad mayor o igual a uno.

Published: February 2025

En este trabajo se extiende un meso modelo de compuestos previamente desarrollado para hormigón reforzado con fibras de acero (HRFA) para tener en cuenta el efecto de la temperatura en el comportamiento dinámico. El modelo se calibra con resultados experimentales de HRFA correspondientes a ensayos de caracterización realizados a temperatura ambiente y luego de la exposición a altas temperaturas. Posteriormente, el modelo calibrado se aplica a la simulación de ensayos de impacto por caída libre sobre vigas de HRFA previamente sometidas a altas temperaturas. Los resultados muestran que el modelo es capaz de reproducir la degradación de las propiedades mecánicas por las altas temperaturas y el efecto beneficioso de las fibras bajo carga estática y dinámica.
A Trapezoidal Rule for Nodal Integration of Linear Quadrilaterals in Plasticity
Authors: Pereiras José Manuel , Jouglard Claudio E.
Published: February 2025

In this work we present a nodal integrated linear quadrilateral, that is, with only integration points at the nodes of the element for plasticity applications. A trapezoidal rule is used instead of the classical Gaussian rules for the integration of the nonlinear stiffness matrix. In principle, this numerical integration rule should be discarded since it cannot exactly integrate the stiffness matrices, even in the limit when the element size becomes infinitesimal. However, the internal forces are correctly calculated and the element is convergent. Comparisons are shown with other formulations and the element appears to be very effective.

En los últimos años, ha prevalecido una tendencia en el diseño de aerogeneradores de eje horizontal: el aumento de su tamaño con el fin de maximizar la energía extraída del recurso eólico. La interacción suelo-estructura afecta significativamente el comportamiento de la estructura durante eventos sísmicos. Ignorar esta interacción puede conducir a estimaciones inexactas del comportamiento estructural y, por lo tanto, comprometer la seguridad y la eficiencia de la estructura. Las torres eólicas generalmente utilizan fundaciones superficiales, las cuales pueden sufrir asientos diferenciales permanentes durante la fase de excitación sísmica debido a la degradación de rigidez del suelo donde se apoyan y a que el sistema de cargas debido a la interacción fluido-estructura tiene una componente de vuelco importante, lo que podría significar un riesgo alto para este tipo de estructuras. El propósito de este trabajo es investigar los posibles asentamientos permanentes en torres eólicas sometidas a sismo con el propósito de evaluar el desempeño de la estructura fundada sobre zapatas superficiales.

Aiming at the problem that the features extracted from the original C3D (Convolutional 3D) convolutional neural network(C3D) were insufficient and it was difficult to focus on keyframes, which led to the low accuracy of basketball players' action recognition, a basketball action recognition method of deep neural network based on dynamic residual attention mechanism was proposed. Firstly, the traditional C3D is improved to a dynamic residual convolution network to extract sufficient feature information. Secondly, the extracted feature information is selected by the improved attention mechanism to obtain the key video frames. Finally, the algorithm is compared with the traditional C3D in order to demonstrate the advance and applicability of the algorithm. Experimental results show that this method can effectively recognize basketball posture, and the average accuracy of posture recognition is more than 97%.
Inflación e impacto en el consumo en México, 2020-2024
Authors: Hernández Hernández Daniel
Published: February 2025

Desde el ámbito conceptual el presente análisis parte de las categorías inflación, producción y consumo para un corte temporal de los últimos cinco años en México, y consecuentemente se aporta información estadística que marca la evolución de estas variables, cuyo objetivo primordial es establecer puntos de conexión analítica en perspectiva a nivel macro, tomando como marco general la actual política social gubernamental de inyectar ingresos monetarios a las familias.  Nuestro planteamiento hipotético va en el sentido de que una política social de este tipo está encaminada esencialmente a fomentar el consumo y como tal, no se apuntalan actividades que generen valor nuevo. Esto conlleva a incentivar la demanda y en el mediano y largo plazos no se logra un crecimiento sostenido, con el riesgo latente de provocar mayores desequilibrios que provoquen una fuerte recesión económica. El análisis estadístico consistió en la aplicación del procedimiento de correlación de Pearson, dada la naturaleza del comportamiento de las variables, con lo cual es obtuvo, como se señala en el apartado respectivo, un coeficiente relativamente significativo entre inflación y gasto de los hogares del 0.699, lo que indica que efectivamente el crecimiento de los precios va en función de la demanda de consumo, en este caso, del gasto de los hogares, un gasto que de acuerdo a los datos que se reportan, las familias lo destinan en más del 70% en conceptos de “Alimentos, bebidas y tabaco”, “Transporte y comunicaciones”, “Educación y esparcimiento”, “Vivienda y servicios”, principalmente.
THE TRINITY THAT HIJACKS GRADES: A CORRELATIONAL STUDY OF FAMILY ENVIRONMENT, SHAME PRONENESS AND ACADEMIC COMPETENCE AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Background: Academic success is influenced by multiple psychological and environmental factors, with family environment playing a pivotal role in shaping students' self-concept, emotional resilience, and motivation. Family cohesion, which includes communication and satisfaction within the household, fosters a sense of security that enhances academic competence. Conversely, shame proneness can hinder academic performance by inducing self-doubt and avoidance behaviors. The complex interplay between these variables remains underexplored, particularly in collectivist societies where cultural values may modify the impact of shame proneness on academic outcomes.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between family cohesion, shame proneness, and academic competence among university students, investigating whether family communication and satisfaction predict academic success and whether gender and family structure influence these associations.
Methods: A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted on 370 university students (Men = 57.6%, Women = 42.4%) with a mean age of 23.12 years (SD = 4.13). The Family Cohesion Scale (Urdu version), including subscales for Family Communication and Family Satisfaction, was used to assess family environment. Shame proneness was measured using the Guilt and Shame Proneness Scale, while academic competence was evaluated using the Academic Competence Scale. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation, multiple regression, and independent sample t-tests to determine relationships and group differences.
Results: Significant positive correlations were found between family cohesion and academic competence (r = .54, p < .001). Family communication (r = .48, p < .001) and family satisfaction (r = .50, p < .01) were also positively associated with academic competence. Regression analysis indicated that family satisfaction (β = .35, p < .001) and family communication (β = .23, p < .001) were significant predictors of academic competence, explaining 32% of the variance. Gender differences showed that men reported significantly higher family satisfaction (p = .01) and communication (p = .04) than women. Students from nuclear families demonstrated higher academic competence (p = .01) and family cohesion (p = .03) compared to those from joint families.
Conclusion: Family cohesion, particularly communication and satisfaction, plays a vital role in academic success. While shame proneness did not significantly hinder academic competence, cultural factors may moderate its effects. The findings highlight the need for interventions that strengthen family support systems to enhance students' academic resilience. Future research should explore the role of socioeconomic status, peer influence, and coping mechanisms in academic performance.

The ceramic tiles industry is one of the largest industries globally and is expected to grow remarkably in the current decade. The ceramic tiles are a major source of decorations for building facades, interior design, etc. The manufacturing process of ceramic tiles is heavily dependent on the natural raw materials; hence a lot of research has been carried out to integrate various industrial wastes and coal ashes in its manufacturing. In this research project, an effort has been made to optimize the manufacturing process of ceramic tiles developed with the incorporation of industrial wastes and coal ashes, by predicting the flexure strength of ceramic tiles using different machine learning models. In this study, a comprehensive dataset was developed by combining the findings of 13 journal articles. The dataset consisted of 7 input variables, while the flexure strength of ceramic tiles was taken as an output variable. Three machine learning models were developed in this research project and their performance comparison was made. The developed machine learning models included artificial neural networks ANN, K-Nearest Neighbors and Extreme Gradient Boosting. In the later part of studies, K-Fold Cross Validation technique was applied to the best performing machine learning model to cross check the performance of the developed model. It was revealed that the ANN model performed the best among all the three machine learning models with an R2 value of 0.9795, which was authenticated by K-Fold cross Validation technique.
A GRIEF COUNSELING INTERVENTION AFTER THE MASS TRAUMA: LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE VICTIMS OF THE EASTER SUNDAY ATTACK IN SRI LANKA
Authors: Virasha Godakanda
Published: February 2025

This qualitative study investigates the lived experiences of eight survivors from the St. Sebastian's church attack during the 2019 Easter Sunday tragedy in Sri Lanka, along with three key informant interviews. Employing a reflexive thematic analysis approach, the inquiry draws upon social support theory and the five stages of grief theory to examine the data. The findings reveal a stark absence of formal grief counseling services for those impacted by the attacks, with survivors relying solely on inadequate informal support within their communities. A significant 70% expressed doubts about the government's involvement, citing perceptions of neglect and ineffective responses, which undermined trust necessary for effective support delivery. The church-based Setsarana program emerged as the only source of spiritual guidance, practical aid, informal counseling, and housing assistance, highlighting the lack of essential psychological interventions. These findings underscore the urgent need for Sri Lanka to adopt a coordinated, culturally-sensitive approach to offer comprehensive psychological care in the aftermath of mass tragedies. The study recommends implementing diverse therapeutic approaches, such as nature-based programs and animal-assisted therapy, to address unmet needs. Enhancing accessibility through governmental aid, telemedicine, and educational initiatives for diverse populations is emphasized. Furthermore, the study stresses the necessity for prolonged investigations to grasp the lasting effects of interventions and the continual advancement of resources to aid grief recovery.
