Authors: Rahman Md. Mahbub , Hasan Rakibul
Published: January 2025

Social phobia or social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by a high level of anxiety in social situations and low self-esteem as the person is scared of being judged by others. This can be a serious problem in university contexts, causing almost a serious impediment to the academic performance of students. This study attempts to investigate how social phobia impairs academic engagement, involvement and overall academic performance of university students. For this purpose, a qualitative approach was followed through case study method. The respondents were selected from different departments of Bangladesh Army University of Science and Technology (BAUST), Saidpur Cantonment, Saidpur, Nilphamari, Bangladesh. The data was collected from 18 students diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, using unstructured interview schedule face to face interviews and the data was collected from two months, March 2024 and April 2024. The results reveal that social phobia has a profound impact on the academic excellence of the students with symptoms manifested in poor participation in class, poor participation in a group activity and difficulty in forming relation with peers, facing difficulties in public speaking and presentations and decline in academic confidence and performance. Even with the utilization of multiple coping mechanisms students still faced different struggle with academic achievement. Therefore, the paper advises that universities offer better individualized mental health services and academic adjustments to cater for children with social anxiety difficulties and stress the need to reduce that stigma.

Authors: Jesudas Roseline , Alteib Inass Ahmed
Published: January 2025

This study uses Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's Affect Theory to look at feelings in Kyung-sook Shin's "Please Look after Mother." The research shows that characters have strong emotional ties, and these emotions affect their behaviors and relationships, especially concerning love, loss, guilt, and desire, with a focus on the mother-child bond. This research uses qualitative methods and thematic analysis, collecting data through close reading and examining key character moments in the story. Findings indicate that these emotions are important for character development and influence how they deal with family and societal expectations. This analysis reveals that the emotional depth of the story not only engages readers but also highlights universal themes of care and the difficulties of familial love. This exploration shows that affect theory is essential for understanding the complex emotional themes in the text, emphasizing the importance of emotional expression in grasping human relationships within wider social contexts.

Published: January 2025

Introdução: A meningite meningocócica é um processo inflamatório do espaço subaracnóideo e das membranas leptomeníngeas, de origem infecciosa, cujo agente etiológico é a bactéria Neisseria meningitidis (meningococo). Objetivo: Analisar as notificações de casos de meningite meningocócica nos últimos 15 anos no Brasil, focando nos impactos da vacinação e na incidência, além de avaliar a efetividade das estratégias de saúde pública no controle da doença. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico descritivo baseado em dados do Sistema de Informações de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) publicados entre 2009 a 2023. Foram coletadas informações sobre casos de meningite meningocócica e meningococcemia, incluindo variáveis demográficas, taxas de mortalidade, diagnóstico e sorogrupos detectados. As variáveis foram organizadas, resumidas, descritas e comparadas por meio de métodos de Estatística Descritiva. A análise incluiu dados de notificações, óbitos e cobertura vacinal, complementada por revisão bibliográfica. Resultados: Entre 2009 e 2023, o Brasil registrou 22.601 casos de meningite meningocócica. Desses, 15.767 evoluíram para alta e 4.864 resultaram em óbitos por meningite. A região Sudeste teve o maior número de casos absolutos (n=14.333), seguida pelo Nordeste (n=3.593), Sul (n=2.501), Centro-Oeste (n=1.184) e Norte (n=990). Em relação ao sexo, 56,28% (n=12.722) dos casos foram em homens. O sorogrupo C foi responsável pela maioria dos casos, representando 33,99% (n=7.682) do total, seguido pelo sorogrupo B com 10,95% (n=2.474). A cobertura vacinal contra o meningococo C foi acima de 90% entre 2010 e 2016, mas caiu para 72,17% em 2021. Conclusão: Houve uma tendência de queda nos casos e óbitos ao longo dos anos, porém observou-se um aumento em 2022, após a pandemia de COVID-19.  A diminuição da cobertura vacinal também pode estar correlacionada com o aumento nos casos e óbitos em 2022 e 2023. O sorogrupo C apresentou maior incidência, mas o sorogrupo B também mostrou variações significativas ao longo do período analisado.

Published: January 2025

INTRODUÇÃO: A osteoartrite (OA) de quadril, uma das formas mais comuns de artrite, afeta cerca de 10% da população mundial acima de 60 anos e é uma das principais causas de dor e incapacidade em idosos, representando 80% dos casos de incapacidade em pessoas com mais de 65 anos. A OA é marcada pela degeneração da cartilagem articular e alterações estruturais no quadril, associadas ao envelhecimento. Com o aumento da expectativa de vida, a prevalência da OA deve crescer, demandando estratégias eficazes para manejar a dor e preservar a funcionalidade. Além da dor crônica, a OA reduz a mobilidade e afeta negativamente a saúde mental, exigindo abordagens multidimensionais além do tratamento farmacológico. OBJETIVOS: Revisar as estratégias atuais para o manejo da OA de quadril em idosos, com foco no alívio da dor, manutenção da mobilidade e melhoria da qualidade de vida. METODOLOGIA: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa nas bases PubMed/Medline e SciELO, utilizando os termos "Osteoartrite de Quadril", "Dor" e "Mobilidade", combinados com "AND". A busca abrangeu publicações entre 2020 e 2024, limitadas aos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol. Foram excluídos artigos que não atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. RESULTADOS: Identificaram-se 206 artigos na PubMed/Medline e 2 na SciELO. Após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, 13 estudos foram analisados. O diagnóstico precoce da OA é essencial para tratamentos conservadores menos invasivos que promovam mobilidade e alívio da dor. Quando necessário, a cirurgia de quadril exige cuidados pós-operatórios detalhados. A saúde mental também é afetada, com maior risco de ansiedade e depressão, destacando a importância de abordagens integradas que combinem apoio físico e emocional. CONCLUSÃO: O manejo eficaz da OA de quadril em idosos requer uma abordagem multidisciplinar, envolvendo controle da dor, preservação da funcionalidade e apoio psicológico. Estratégias personalizadas são fundamentais para prevenir a progressão da doença e promover um envelhecimento saudável, com foco na qualidade de vida e manutenção da mobilidade.

Published: January 2025

Introdução:O Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) desempenha um papel fundamental na oferta de cirurgias do aparelho digestivo, órgãos anexos e parede abdominal, essenciais para o manejo de doenças de alta morbidade. Este estudo analisa o volume de internações e os custos associados a esses procedimentos entre 2021 e 2024, abordando também desigualdades regionais e eficiência no uso dos recursos. A disparidade no acesso entre regiões do Brasil é um ponto crítico que reforça a importância de políticas públicas voltadas à equidade.Metodologia:Realizou-se um estudo descritivo e analítico com abordagem quantitativa, utilizando dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS (SIH/SUS). Foram avaliados o número de internações e os custos associados às cirurgias do aparelho digestivo no período de 2021 a outubro de 2024. O custo médio por internação foi calculado e analisado por ano e região. Os dados foram extraídos do DATASUS e complementados com literatura relevante.Resultados:Entre 2021 e 2024, foram realizadas 2.704.304 internações, com um custo total de R$ 3.395.603.431,75. O custo médio por internação variou ao longo dos anos, sendo menor em 2022 devido ao maior volume de atendimentos, mas apresentou aumento em 2023 e 2024. Regionalmente, o Sudeste concentrou a maior parte das internações e custos, enquanto as regiões Norte e Nordeste apresentaram os menores números, evidenciando desigualdades no acesso.Conclusão:O aumento no número de internações e nos custos totais reflete mudanças na demanda e na complexidade dos atendimentos. A disparidade regional demonstra a necessidade de políticas públicas que promovam maior equidade na alocação de recursos e acesso aos serviços de saúde. Estudos futuros devem aprofundar a análise das tendências e avaliar o impacto de intervenções voltadas à eficiência e sustentabilidade do SUS.

Authors: Hasan Mohammad Kamrul
Published: January 2025

Ethical practices in project management and business leadership are critical for fostering trust, accountability, and sustainable success in organizations. This paper explores the evolving role of ethical leadership, emphasizing its influence on organizational outcomes, employee satisfaction, and financial performance. Through an analysis of research trends from 1990 to 2024, we identify a shift from leader-centric theories to multi-dimensional frameworks integrating cultural, technological, and societal considerations. Ethical leadership significantly enhances team dynamics, organizational trust, and resilience in the face of global challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change. Furthermore, the study presents empirical insights into the correlation between ethical leadership and key performance metrics, underscoring its strategic importance. The findings advocate for embedding ethical practices into organizational cultures, reinforcing their value as a catalyst for innovation and inclusivity.

Verification of how to distinguish between male and female seedlings of date palm seeds
Authors: Rasheed Imad Naji
Published: January 2025

A method has been developed to distinguish between male and female date palm seeds. The (Apocole) emergence from the hilum bends towards gravity to the right or left of the seed head in a ratio of 1:1. To ensure that it is a genetically controlled phenomenon in date palms, 400 seeds were mixed randomly.100 seeds were planted with their dorsal surface up (as a control treatment) which germinated 52% towards the right and 48% towards the left of the seed’s head. 50 seeds were planted inverted in deep dishes and then germinated at the same ratio. 100 seeds were planted by tilting the embryo axis at a 45-degree angle to the right or the left. Half of them bent in the direction of gravity, and the other half delayed germination for several days, rising 2 mm above the surface of the seeds. Then 100 seeds were planted on a rotating clinostat placed on the plate's circumference to push the Apocole by the centrifugal force to bend towards the right or the left. Half of the seeds (which oppose the centrifugal force) germination were delayed for several days. 50 seeds were planted in the rotation axis center, so the Apocole germinated several days later before bending in its inherited direction. These confirmed that this bending is an inherited trait that distinguishes the sex of the seedling. After 5 years it confirmed our discovery of the distinction between male and female trees.
Keywords: Date palm, sex determination, date palm seedlings, germination method, Apocole growth.
Architecture & Biomimetic: Conceptual Confusion in the field of Bio Architecture
Authors: Elghali Wafia Salah Ali
Published: January 2025

Biomimetic architecture is experiencing some conceptual confusion, as it intersects between the fields of architecture and biological sciences. If we consider biomimetic as a science, its application to architecture imposes the definition of biomimetic architecture as a science as well. This assertion contradicts the nature of architecture, which can be defined as a technology that aims to transform the world rather than explain it. There is no clear relationship between architecture and life sciences. On the other hand, the biomimetic approach tends to redefine the concept of science to avoid the excesses of science. The illustrative models of biomimetic design show the difficulty of observing real biomimetic architecture, as most cases are closer to architecture or urban planning with little in the way of life sciences.
This paper aims to describe the conceptual confusion of architecture and science through two movements is called “forces”, which envision the transformations between manufactured scientific objects and given experimental objects. The models used in biology and architecture allow for these transformations in their dual function as tools of knowledge and design, potentially forcing them conceptually into what they are not supposed to be, especially in the field of bio architecture where the design process meets scientific knowledge.
Keywords: Biomimetic architecture, architecture, epistemology, design with biology, modeling theory.

Authors:   North Caucasian Federal University Stavropol, Russia, Zenchenko Svetlana V.
Published: January 2025

The study of the main macroeconomic theories touching upon the issues of financial regulation, as well as their methodological apparatus, which allows assessing both positive and negative consequences of the development of public finances is aimed at determining the factors of their financial regulation. The purpose of formalising the factors of financial regulation of public finances is to improve the efficiency of public finance management through the construction of rigorous, quantifiable and predictable models, which eliminates uncertainty and ambiguity in the description of factors, providing a more accurate measurement of their impact on budgetary processes. The classification of factors of financial regulation of public finances by the degree of their coverage and influence is proposed, which allowed us to identify three groups of factors: universal, general and specific. The interrelated tasks of the strategic level, which public regulation is designed to solve, are defined.

The article discusses methods for optimizing loading time and interaction with dynamic singlepage applications (SPA). An analysis of the main SPA performance issues is presented, including delays in content loading, blocking the main thread, rendering issues and interface responsiveness. Modern optimization approaches are described, such as lazy loading, resource minification and combining, using Service Workers and preloading critical resources. Key performance analysis tools (Google Lighthouse, Chrome DevTools, WebPageTest) and user experience monitoring (Sentry, New Relic, Google Analytics) are considered. The experimental part demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed methods using a real SPA application as an example. The obtained results show a decrease in the Time to Interactive (TTI), First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Total Blocking Time (TBT) metrics, which confirms the practical significance of the approaches.
