Editing data using the “Transformation” model
Authors: Zykin S.V. , Poluyanov A.N. , Zykin V.S.
Published: December 2024

The problem of coordinating the semantics of data presented within different models has remained relevant for a significant period of time. First of all, this is related to the convenience of work for users who are accustomed to certain tools, for example, spreadsheets. The data prepared in these environments needs to be loaded into a centralized database, which makes it possible to get rid of duplication and inconsistency of data. An obstacle to this path is the problem of data reconciliation. Editing data directly in the database is a difficult task for non-programmer users. The traditional way to solve this problem is to develop special applications that have limited functionality. This paper proposes a technology that allows editing data in a database using spreadsheets, making their rich functionality available. The main difference from similar approaches is the use of the “Transformation” model, which makes the presentation of data convenient for human perception. Since the “Transformation” data model differs significantly from the relational model, there is a need to reconcile data between the database and spreadsheets. To solve similar problems, L.A. Kalinichenko proposed a method of commutative transformations in databases. In this paper, this technique, with some modifications, is used in algorithms for transferring data from a database to “Transformation” and back. The article presents an overview of works on the problem of data matching in various sources, a description of the data model “Transformation”, including: a description of the table schema, conditions for the existence of a table instance and data editing operations. The paper describes an algorithm for loading data into a table from a database and the algorithm for transforming data in a database in accordance with changes in the table, defines the conditions for the commutativity of the transformations, and presents a proof of the correctness of the transformations.

Authors: Suriel Roque Carlos Luis , Caro Montero Elizabeth
Published: December 2024

Este artículo analiza la eficacia de las Oficinas de Gestión de Proyectos (PMO) en la gestión de proyectos en empresas privadas de Santiago, República Dominicana. A través de un enfoque empírico, se evalúa el impacto de la existencia de una PMO en el cumplimiento de objetivos clave, como cronograma, presupuesto, alcance y satisfacción del cliente y del equipo. Basado en datos recopilados de 57 empresas, utiliza técnicas de correlación y análisis descriptivo para examinar la relación entre la implementación de una PMO y los resultados de los proyectos. Los resultados indican que, aunque la presencia de una PMO puede estar asociada con una mayor formalización y estructura en la gestión de proyectos, no garantiza necesariamente un mayor éxito en todas las dimensiones evaluadas. Se observó una correlación positiva significativa entre la existencia de una PMO y el cumplimiento de los objetivos de alcance y requisitos. Sin embargo, las correlaciones con el cronograma, presupuesto y satisfacción no fueron estadísticamente significativas, lo que sugiere que factores adicionales, como la cultura organizacional y la disponibilidad de recursos, también influyen en los resultados. El estudio concluye que la implementación de una PMO debe ir acompañada de un enfoque integral que considere el contexto cultural y organizacional específico de cada empresa. Estos hallazgos subrayan el rol complementario de las PMO, sugiriendo que su efectividad depende de la integración con otros elementos organizacionales y proporcionando una base para futuras investigaciones en contextos empresariales similares.
Towards a shared vision of peace, security, migration and climate change in Africa
Authors: Chigudu Daniel
Published: December 2024

Increasing evidence indicates that climate change is likely to exacerbate anxieties and dangers, leading to heightened conflict and fragility. Climate change may exacerbate food insecurity and encourage climate-related migration, so damaging socioeconomic systems and increasing the likelihood of conflicts over diminishing natural resources. Many drought-affected communities are contending with the compounded impacts of additional crises, such as insecurity, war, and the consequences of climate change, including food insecurity, flooding, and drought. This study, informed by a systematic literature analysis, demonstrates the necessity for communal solutions to address protection issues related to human mobility in the aftermath of the adverse effects of catastrophes and climate change, even when normative and legal instruments are utilised. This situation necessitates a thorough analysis and comprehension of natural mobility patterns, underlying reasons, coordination among key stakeholders, and active involvement in material distribution, capacity enhancement, community engagement, and protection oversight. This study elucidates the human mobility problems associated with climate change and catastrophes, offering recommendations that serve as a foundation for stakeholders addressing this complex issue, ultimately striving towards the shared goal of minimising impacts and safeguarding the most vulnerable populations.
Are perceptions of organizational communication color-blind?
Authors: Du Plessis Yachal , Rawjee Veena Parboo
Published: December 2024

With the global trend to prioritize tailoring communication strategies to meet the ever-changing diverse workforce, the study reveals a more nuanced reality.  While much focus is placed on addressing communication differences, this papers position is that not enough focus is on our basic human need to communicate. This paper aims to evaluate whether certain aspects of the flow of information and communication are racially shared perceptions. Furthermore, through a Chaos Theory lens, evaluate the influence of managerial and organizational control mechanisms on various internal communication perceptions. A quantitative method was adopted, and data was collected from 63 non-management respondents in an automotive group in Kwa-Zulu Natal, by a closed-ended 5-point Likert scale. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics to identify racially shared and divergent perceptions of organizational communication and the statistically significance.  Key findings conclude that the free and accurate flow of information is a shared perception, regardless of race, and thus, a basic human need.  Furthermore, the study demonstrates the significant influence managerial and organizational control mechanisms have on aspects of organizational communication, and challenges current academic positions that similar race dyads experience higher levels of trust.  Finally, the paper concludes that the significant negative perception to control mechanisms, such as informal idea-sharing processes, flexible communication between levels, and active participation in SOPs and policy development, is a racially shared perception.

Published: December 2024

Psoriasis remains one of the most prominent dermatological diseases and is not limited only to skin manifestations, but often affects internal organs, is burdened by the presence of polymorbid pathology.
Over time, the processes of understanding the mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment of this disease are evolving, and approaches to patient management are being improved. Both external treatment methods and systemic therapy are widely used. Against the background of an actively growing range of drugs used to treat psoriasis, it is quite difficult to make an individual choice for each individual patient, therefore, the most important area of scientific research is to find starting points for personalized therapy selection.
The use of genetically engineered biological drugs to influence certain parts of the immunopathological process is the most advanced line of therapy for psoriasis today. By inhibiting the corresponding proinflammatory cytokines, cellular signaling can be altered and, thus, further pathways of the inflammatory process can be inhibited.

Authors: Ongori Damaris , Okiri Teresa
Published: December 2024

Background: Newborn babies in the neonatal intensive care units (NICU) and newborn units (NBUs) undergo various tissue-damaging procedures as a result of both diagnostic and therapeutic care. Each neonate may experience an average of 300 painful procedures throughout their period hospitalization surgeries inclusive. However, little is known about factors that determine the neonatal pain management practices among nurses working in NICUs in Kenya.
Objective: To assess factors that determine neonatal pain management practices among nurses working in neonatal intensive care and newborn units.
Methods: A descriptive analytical cross-sectional study design with qualitative and quantitative approach was used. The statistical package for social science version 22.0 software was used for analysis. Spearman’s tests assessed for associations and correlations. Confidence level was 95%. A p-value equal or less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Less than half of the respondents were aware of both the pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic methods used in management of pain in neonates. On beliefs and attitudes, less than half (42%) of the nurses believed that pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions are vital in neonatal pain management. Only a third (33%) of the respondents felt that the pain assessment tool is accurate and effective. Use of pain assessment tools (5.6%), non-pharmacologic (34.8%) and pharmacologic (28.1%) pain intervention strategies was low. Majority used physiological and behavioral factors to assess pain in neonates. Knowledge of pharmacologic (p<0.0001) was significantly associated with the practice of pain management in neonates.
Conclusion: The study highlights that pain management in neonates is influenced by a variety of determinants including participants knowledge on various pain management practices and attitude towards pain management in neonates. Knowledge of pharmacological pain interventions emerged as the main determinant of neonatal pain management practices among nurses. There is therefore need to enhance nurses’ knowledge on neonatal pain management aspects. This can be achieved through targeted trainings and CMEs on pain management in neonates.

In cases of hypertension, depression is observed in approximately 30% of patients when assessed using questionnaires and in approximately 21% when assessed psychiatrically. Anxiety and depression are risk factors for arterial hypertension. On the contrary, hypertension has been considered to cause anxiety and depressive symptoms. This could be attributed to the direct effects of high blood pressure (BP), side effects of antihypertensive drugs, or psychological reactions to the diagnosis of hypertension. An unhealthy lifestyle increases stress and BP levels. Therefore, controlling stress is a complementary therapy for hypertension. In this context, this study presents a protocol aimed at evaluating stress/depression levels as well as the quality of life in patients with hypertension and examining their correlation with BP control and target organ damage. In addition, we will assess the effect of subsequent psychiatric interventions in hypertensive patients with increased levels of depression/stress on BP control, treatment compliance, and quality of life after a follow-up period of 1 year.

The aim of the work was to study the relationship between the concentration of cells and proteins in the blood of patients with Stage III squamous cell lung cancer (SCLC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) before surgical treatment and the duration of the relapse-free period after tumor resection to develop prognostic models for relapse-free survival in these diseases. Using logistic regression equations, the models incorporated variables included cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1) concentration, the proportion of lymphocytes expressing the C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 1 (CXCR1), and monocytes expressing the C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 2 for SCLC. For AC, the models included the CYFRA 21-1 concentration, lymphocytes expressing the CXCR1 receptor, and the eosinophil-to-monocyte ratio. These models can predict the probability of tumor recurrence based on measurements of blood parameters in the pre-operative period, with a prediction efficiency of 87.7% for SCLC and 89.0% for AC.

This study presents a comprehensive vegetation mapping inventory project undertaken in Mojave National Preserve (MOJA) and Castle Mountains National Monument (CAMO), two areas within the National Park Service?s Mojave Desert Network (MOJN). Covering a combined area of over 1.6 million acres along the California-Nevada border, these sites encompass diverse desert ecosystems, including valleys, washes, sand dunes, volcanic formations, and Joshua tree forests. The project, initiated in 2010 by the National Park Service?s Vegetation Mapping Inventory (VMI), aimed to document and classify the plant communities in these areas.
The project unfolded over six phases between 2011 and 2021, starting with a review of existing vegetation data and the development of a comprehensive work plan. In collaboration with the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), field data were collected from 630 plots and observation points, supplemented by 588 samples from previous studies. The data were used to classify 67 plant alliances and two landform types, ultimately identifying 136 plant associations within MOJA and CAMO.
The vegetation map for the project, covering the entire 1.6-million-acre area, was created using a hybrid mapping approach that combined manual and automated techniques. The map was based on 2018 National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) basemap data and was validated through ground-based verification efforts. The accuracy of the final vegetation map was assessed at 91%, with a Kappa value of 92%, indicating a high level of reliability.
The final products of this project include a spatial geodatabase, digital field photos, metadata, a classification report, and a field key to the vegetation alliances. These resources provide a valuable tool for ongoing research and conservation efforts in these ecologically significant areas.
ВИТОКИ ТЕОРІЙ КРИМІНАЛЬНОГО ПОКАРАННЯ: ІСТОРИЧНИЙ І ФІЛОСОФСЬКИЙ АНАЛІЗ

Published: December 2024

Ідея покарання завжди викликала непідробний інтерес у філософів, юристів, психологів, соціологів. Така увага є виправданою, оскільки питання покарання стосується найважливіших життєвих благ громадян і ключових інтересів суспільного життя. Покарання не може бути всебічно досліджено лише юридичною наукою, оскільки це складне соціальне явище. Тому необхідно вирішити питання: чи повинно покарання взагалі існувати? На якій підставі суспільство розпоряджається найдорожчими благами людини: життям, здоров'ям, свободою, честю та гідністю?
У статті «покарання» розглянуто крізь призму історичного аналізу, який дозволяє зрозуміти витоки та еволюцію теорій кримінального покарання, що дає змогу краще усвідомити їх сучасне застосування та значення у системі виконання кримінальних покарань.
АМБІЦІЇ ТА ОЧІКУВАННЯ: МОЛОДЬ НА ШЛЯХУ КАР'ЄРНОГО ЗРОСТАННЯ

Published: December 2024

У статті досліджено сподівання молоді щодо працевлаштування, погляди і пріоритети, переваги та недоліки амбітного юнацтва, котре прагне стабільного заробітку і цікавої роботи, що забезпечить самореалізацію, розкривши потенціал у професійній діяльності. Встановлено, що спочатку юнацтво з усіх боків охоплене очікуваннями успіхів у відмінному навчанні, академічному визнанні, високої заробітної платні, кар’єрі тощо (від родини, найближчого оточення і закладів освіти до соціуму загалом). Сім’я та педагоги підкреслюють необхідність здобути вищу освіту, впевнено ототожнюючи фінансову стабільність (прибутки, статус) із досягненнями в школі й інституті. Але коли молодь опиняється на ринку праці, то зіштовхується із розривом між очікуваннями та дійсністю, що стає джерелом стресу і зневіри. Акцентовано чільну роль взаємодії роботодавців та ЗВО за спільної мети – освічені фахівці від закладу освіту до професійної діяльності. Саме компанії, які пропонують ефективні програми стажування та чіткі етапи зростання, мають більше шансів залучити й утримати молоді таланти.
Тому проаналізовано чільні пошукові варіанти, пов’язані зі змінними вимогами й актуальними вакансіями, виокремлено ключові настанови, що мають стати підґрунтям формування світогляду молодих спеціалістів, які хочуть бути успішними на ринку праці.
