Introduction: Sexual relationships are an integral part of females psychological and physiological wellbeing.
Objectives: The study aimed to identify prevalence and impact of Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) in women affected with psoriasis.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 150 married females who were interviewed to answer Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire and were divided into two groups: the first group included 100 female patients complaining of psoriasis (50 suffering from moderate psoriasis and 50 with severe psoriasis). The disease severity was graded according to the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) while the second group included 50 age matched women who served as controls.
Results: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in psoriasis female groups was higher than that in the control group (47%, 24%, P < 0.05). The mean total scores of FSFI ranged from 12.30 to 34.20 and were significantly lower in the severe PASI affected group (22.34 ± 5.35) when compared to moderate PASI group (26.24 ± 2.67) or control group (28.79 ± 2.22). In addition, total scores were significantly lower among moderate PASI affected females when compared to control group.
Conclusions: Sexual dysfunction should be routinely investigated in female patients with psoriasis in the case of moderate-severe disease due to its negative impact on quality of life. Further research over the effect of certain interventional programs on FSD should be considered for patients suffering from psoriasis.
Impact of UV Modifying Factors on the Incidence of Keratinocyte Carcinomas in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: a Systematic Review
Authors: Rahman Syed , Ahmed Fahad , Amanullah Amir , Haque Adel
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) are at an increased risk for developing keratinocyte carcinomas (KC). Four ultraviolet (UV) modifying factors have been identified that impact the incidence of KC: Fitzpatrick Skin Type (FST), race, sun exposure, and sun-protective factors.
Objectives: We conducted a systematic review to summarize the association between UV modifying factors and the incidence of KC in SOTR.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, and after screening for inclusion and exclusion criteria, we included 13 studies with 6,910 solid organ transplant recipients in our analysis.
Results: Our review found that lower FST (I-II), white and Latinx populations, lack of regulated sunscreen application, and occupational and residential sun exposure are individual risk factors among solid organ transplant recipients for KC incidence. Although previous studies showed an increased SCC:BCC ratio, some studies found a contradictory increased BCC:SCC ratio. Limitations include few research studies that analyze these UV modifying factors and a lack of incorporating both varying immunosuppressant factors and transplantation follow-up times.
Conclusions: These findings support the need for dermatological advice in increased risk patient demographic populations, lower FST and white and Latinx populations, and subsequently moderating sun exposure and protective factors.

Authors: de Souza Rosemeire
Published: August 2023

This dissertation deals with the importance of the continuing education of the teacher offered and built by the management team of the institution to which it is linked. The educational environment will constantly promote the conscious and intentional growth of the teacher, investing in human and pedagogical training in order to prevent emotional exhaustion, generating new alternatives to face challenges and overcome difficulties; creating a proactive culture among teachers. The general objective of this study is to identify how the process of continuing education by the Comprehensive Education Program (EIP) contributes for teachers to transform their practices, in order to value their own knowledge and the possibilities of reflection for the progress of the students, considering the results of the institutional evaluations of recent years, and the socio- historical-cultural environment in which they work providing them with a real vision within the ideal. The constant literature review will be adopted as procedures of this study; field research, through the application of questionnaires; and the analysis of data from the results of institutional evaluations from a qualitative point of view. Caring for and improving teachers' skills and competencies is also prioritizing the qualification of teaching, favoring and emerging the opportunity for students to actually learn through effective learning. Qualifying and providing meetings, and meetings in the school environment is an arduous but necessary task assigned to the management team, which must count on all members of the group who are collectively responsible for its operation. The exchange of experiences and the dissemination of new knowledge encourage the professional to review practices, deal with frustrations, errors analyzing postures and seeking new strategies of action, allowing him to perceive with new reasons that will lead him to excellence. There is a great deal of evidence to prove that the quality of learning depends intimately on the quality of the teacher's work, which must be accompanied by the management team. The management team in the search for good results improves the work, offers an opportunity for continuous training, prevention of team wear, through improvements of teachers in meetings and pedagogical meetings.

The One Has the Many

Published: August 2023

In an earlier paper, Mark Spencer synthesized three understandings of divine simplicity, arguing that the Thomist account can be enriched by Scotist and Palamite distinctions. After summarizing that earlier work, this paper builds upon it in four main ways. Firstly, it relates Scotus’ logical (diminished) univocity to Aquinas’ metaphysical analogy in language about God. Secondly, it explores the limits of univocity and the formal distinction as applied to the divine essence (in the Palamite sense), utilising the scientific metaphor of tomography. Thirdly, it defends Palamite energies from the charge of being Thomistic accidents by introducing the concept of “intrinsic ramification” and applying that concept to the Thomistic divine ideas. Fourthly, it tabulates some significant pre-existing parallels between the three systems’ nomenclature in referring to similar aspects of the divine.

From degrees to dollars: Exploring the link between elite education and startup funding
Authors: Molinas Alfredo
Published: August 2023

Many startups look for venture capital (VC) funding to grow their business. Anecdotally, in the Southeast Asia context, startup founders who attended an elite institute of higher learning have greater access to this kind of capital, but this has not been demonstrated quantitatively. We look at a dataset of nearly 800 startups in Southeast Asia who have received VC funding in the last 5 years and look for any correlation between the founder's educational background and the amount of VC funding received. We find that founders who have obtained a postgraduate degree from an elite university receive significantly more VC funding than those who graduated from other universities. Furthermore, this effect is only seen at later stages of funding, not at the seed stage. Potential reasons for this effect could be from stronger signaling of business acumen or technical skill; or better access to funding networks.

Published: August 2023

This descriptive and exploratory research intended to understand the faculty members' perspective regarding the influence of social media on university students' overall academic achievements. The study's main goal was to investigate the impact of social media usage on academic achievements of university students. The primary research question was, "What is the faculty's perception of the impact of social media on the academic performance of university students?" The secondary research question was, "What are the various purposes for which university students use social media?" Ninety faculty members of public and private sector universities in Sindh province participated in this research. Survey questionnaire was used as major data collection tool. This questionnaire has twenty statements regarding social media usage and two open ended questions related to problems and remedial measures associated with use of social media. Collected data was analyzed using demographic statistics, descriptive statistics, and central tendency statistics. Frequency counts and word clouds were used to analyze open-ended questions. From the analysis of data, it was found that use of social networking sites have positive as well negative impacts on the academic performance, study habits and social interactions of the students. The study recommends that since internet and social media are inevitable, responsible internet usage needs to be inculcated at a very early age through specialized curriculum embedded with unwritten curriculum of the educational institutes. It is also recommended that a policy framework to be developed by the state for restricting social networking sites and other online sites during certain time for the students. To conclude, the findings of this research provide insights into the correlation between social media usage and academic performance among university students. It is also recommended that this correlation may be further studied on a large scale.

Authors: Pham Tuan Anh , Duong Dinh Hue
Published: August 2023

In the process of construction and installation, emergency requirements are designing a reasonable construction schedule. A suitable construction schedule will make an important contribution to reducing costs and saving construction time. Research on optimizing construction progress according to many goals to balance both time and resources is a difficult job, requiring a lot of effort. This study proposes the application of an evolutionary algorithm in optimizing the construction process with Gantt charts to meet the multi-target requirements. The multi-target function is built based on single target criteria and is used as the cost function of the evolutionary algorithm. Application results with specific projects show multi-target optimization by using evolutionary algorithms that allow automatically building a suitable and balanced construction schedule between targets. This study is expected to reduce project managers' work by providing an effective support tool

Authors: Quynh-Anh Thi Bui  , Joon Seo Lee  , Thai Quang Kieu
Published: August 2023

Asphalt concrete pavement often appears damaged such as rutting, fatigue crack, potholes, etc. at high air temperature, heavy rain in long time, or at locations with high traffic, large horizontal force, and poor-quality construction sites. This causes a deterioration in the service quality, leading to a lot of maintenance costs. These failures are often related to bond between layers of asphalt concrete. Therefore, this paper shows the evaluation results of shear bond of double-layer asphalt (with tack coat rate of 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8 l/m2) based on shear test at the experimental temperatures (25, 40, 60oC), normal pressure (0, 0.14, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 MPa). The results show that, when the temperature increases from 25oC to 60oC, the shear bond between the asphalt layers decreases sharply. At 25oC, the average shear bond that tested with normal pressure of 0.6 MPa increases by 52.19% compared to that tested at pressure of 0 MPa. When the temperature reaches 60oC, the average shear bond that tested with normal pressure 0.6 MPa increases by 94.87% compared to that tested at 0 MPa pressure. At 25°C, non-tack coat samples have lowest shear bond. However, at 40oC and 60oC, the shear bond of 0.8 l/m2 tack coat-based samples reach the lowest value. At the same time, a regression equation between shear bond and input variables proposed by Minitab V17 software provides high reliability results.

Authors:   Lahore Garrison University, Iftikhar Dr. Ifra , Hussain Mudassar ,   Lahore Garrison University, Sattar Humayun ,   Lahore Garrison University
Published: August 2023

This study examines how age, education, gender, and mother's employment position affect feminist ideals, gender equality in political leadership, gender stereotypes, and women's political engagement. Higher education levels indicate stronger feminist views, indicating that education shapes feminist beliefs. Working mothers are more likely to support feminist principles than housewives. Moreover, the findings revealed that women are more likely than males to oppose gender conventions and pursue gender balance in political leadership and institutions. However, relationships may not always be statistically significant, therefore further study is needed to understand the reasons and frequency of these attitudes across both genders. This study illuminates feminist attitudes' complexity, impacted by education, gender, and the mother's job position. The findings highlight the need for further research into the relationship between gender norms, cultural expectations, and feminist ideas, as well as the potential influence of political motivations on individuals' engagement with feminist concepts.
The Possibility of the Tragic
Authors: Kalfopoulos Evangelos
Published: August 2023

In this paper the relationship between humanities as a field and tragedy is examined. Relying on Menke’s analysis of the tragic (Menke 2009) we examine in some depth the ideas of Schelling, Hölderlin and Friedrich Schlegel on the subject and how they positioned themselves on the topic of the possibility of the tragic in Modernity. Accepting that both the speculative idealist model of the didactic play and the model of the romantic comedy tried to overcome the tragic, we conclude that the element of tragic is still a worthy and much needed topic to be part of the humanities in the XXI century and Post-Modernity, primarily as a way of thinking power.

Authors:   Department of Accounting & Information Systems, University of Dhaka, Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh, Salat Amirus
Published: August 2023

This study looks at how important it is for oil and gas companies which are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) to disclose information on climate change. I create a disclosure index by doing a content analysis of 58 firms' publicly accessible documents. As an independent variable, the Disclosure Index Score derived from the content analysis of 58 corporations is taken into consideration. As a stand-in for business value, the market to book assets ratio is employed. The relationship between corporate value and the degree of climate change disclosure is investigated in this study. According to empirical data, investors weigh how much information has been disclosed on climate change when determining a company's market value. Because it looks at the connection between climate change declarations and businesses' value, this study adds to the body of knowledge in environmental accounting. Practically speaking, the results of this investigation will give the Canadian Securities Administrator (CSA) an understanding of how disclosures about climate change are made and give them a framework for drafting associated disclosure requirements. Additionally, it should motivate Canadian oil and gas corporations to reveal their GHG emission reduction plans and strategies.
St. Paul of Thebes among the Serbs: Hierotopy and the Translation of the Holy Land of Egypt into the Visual Culture of Medieval Serbia
Authors: Tumara Nebojsa
Published: August 2023

Translation of the Holy Land through the creation of “New Jerusalems” was an important aspect of medieval Christian culture and a matrix for spiritual life during the Middle Ages. In that respect, the monastic centres established by members of the Nemanjić Dynasty of Serbia were no exception. There, the rendering of the Holy Land and Egypt of the desert fathers in visible form was one of the main hierotopic concerns. In that process, the visual representation of St. Paul of Thebes became a prominent motif in medieval Serbian monastic centres. His visual hagiography decorates various Serbian monasteries from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, including among others Studentica, Žiča, Dečani, Mileševa, Sopoćani, Hilandar, Gračanica, the Patriarchal Monastery of Peć, the Church of St. George in Staro Nagoričane, and Ravanica Monastery. By following the reception of St. Paul’s vita into the visual culture of medieval Serbian lands, this paper will explore the different phases involved in the process of translating Egypt into medieval Serbia, arguing that for the creators of various heterotopic projects, the setting of Egypt of the desert fathers was reinterpreted to suit particular theological positions or to support specific political assumptions.

Macroeconomic analysis is interested, among other things, in the relationships between the main aggregates in order to guide the decision-maker as to the use of one variable to act on another and achieve the expected results. This study falls within this perspective. Using the Structural Autoregressive Vector (SVAR), it empirically verifies, for data from 1960 to 2015, the feedback effects between consumption, public expenditure, gross fixed capital formation and GDP of the Congolese economy. It shows that the influences differ from one variable to another and that time modifies the short-term results, the economic theories being more in tune with the long-term realities in the DRC.
Application of Machine Learning for Predicting Bulk Behaviour of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
Authors: Strachon Martin , Schongut Marek
Published: August 2023

The aim of this study was to develop models for predicting powder bulk behaviour from particle properties using machine learning methods. The data consisted of various measurements of particle size, shape, and bulk properties for different active pharmaceutical ingredients. Python libraries were used to pre-process the data, select input features, and train. The models were evaluated using leave-one-out cross-validation and r2 scores. The results showed that the models could predict the flow function coefficient (FFC), bulk density, porosity, and tap density with moderate to high accuracy. However, the models exhibited low prediction accuracy for FT-4 rheometer descriptors. The study demonstrated the feasibility and limitations of using machine learning for powder bulk behaviour prediction.
Strategy and practice of partial non-translation in contemporary poetry (a case study of Hong Kong and Russian authors)
Authors: Dreyzis Yulia A.
Published: August 2023

The paper centers on the phenomenon of non-translation in the texts of bilingual poets who perform self-translation into the lect of a dominant, ‘larger’ tradition (Putonghua / Rus­sian). Non-translation is set in motion in the conditions of enhanced linguistic reflection of its authors and serves as a marker of a special affective connection with a lect that is permanently associated with a weaker position. Paradoxically, the attempt to expand readership by trans­lating into ‘larger’ lects relies on the strategy of non-translation. Non-translation captures the most content-laden elements of the poem, which in the original serve as a sign of the otherness of the cultural tradition correlated with the text. In this sense, non-translation has a performative character, since its very production emphasizes the critical difference and delimitation of linguistic and cultural traditions.
Really: syntactics without semiotics?
Authors: Zimmerling Anton V.
Published: August 2023

I discuss the relation of linguistics and semiotics on the basis of the Old Russian discourse particle TI1 ‘indeed’, ‘verily’, ‘truly’ discovered by Andrej A. Zaliznjak in 1993. Linguistics and semiotics are different research programmes: the first one deals with specific features of language structures, while the second one discusses general characteristics of all sign systems, from a perspective of interpreting most or all of them as secondary respective to natural language. Formal models of language deal with classes of elements and predict their positions. Lexicographic descriptions provide instructions to the use of particular language items treated as signs with their concepts and syntactics. Functional words including discourse particles allow both approaches. The existence of Old Russian particle TI1 as has been proved by Zaliznjak on the basis of formal conditions, constraining the position of this particle in the clausal structure. Meanwhile, Zaliznjak failed to provide a lexicographical description of TI1 and reliable external parallels from other languages. I argue that TI1 is a marker of verification with the meaning ‘p really takes place’. The view that TI1 expressed enhanced indicativity is not tenable, since this particle was licensed in hypothetical contexts and combined with the optative marker. It is essential to identify the lexicographic type of a functional word in order to get its full syntactics.

Ce travail ne met pas en branle des solutions magiques; mais l’objectif est de faire des analyses scientifiques sur les stratégies qui peuvent éclairer et donner la bonne compréhension de la situation à l’Est, afin d’en déduire des actions réfléchies pour mettre fin à cette tragédie qui a trop duré et faute de la stopper, risque d’embraser tout le pays et menacer à coup sûr, la sécurité régionale et internationale. Il est aussi nécessaire de s’interroger sur la question du leadership politique censé de voir claire la sécurité de la population dans tous les centimètres prêts du territoire national. Les femmes sont violées, les hommes et les enfants tués, molestés. Cette guerre met à genoux le développement de la Rdcongo. L’expérience a démonté qu’il Ya aucun essor économique dans un environnement conflictuel. La problématique est celle de savoir pourquoi cette mésaventure de l’Est demeure-t-elle continuellement? Et spécifiquement, quelles sont les solutions pour mettre fin à cette guerre de manière drastique? Il est à noter globalement que, tout est fonction de la manière dont les dirigeants pilotent la question de ce cycle infernal de violence. Et spécifiquement, l’insuffisance ou le manque du leadership politique de qualité capable de taire ces armes. Les résultats attendus de ces papiers consistent à donner des solutions pouvant aider la Rdcongo de tourner définitivement la page à cette guerre et de s’inscrire inlassablement dans la voie de développer la Rdcongo en général et l’Est en particulier. La méthode de l’histoire immédiate constitue un moyen qui amène cette analyse aux résultats puisqu’elle oriente l’étude devant les faits avec une approche diachronique et synchronique. Mots clés : Guerre, RD Congo, Rwanda, Ouganda, Burundi.

Indonesia is a tropical climate, hence building controlling air ventilation and humid condition have been a challenge to meet residents’ convenience. It is often energy usage that is majorly used to control indoor air climate circulation. The passive design has recently received increasing attention as an option to reduce energy consumption and abate carbon footprint by taking advantage of local climatic conditions of building features. This pilot study seeks to identify the relationships between real energy consumption data and building design data. A dwelling house located in Malang, Indonesia was selected as a sample building for the study which introduces a method to use real energy consumption data to calculate the extra energy use related to tropical indoor thermal conditions. The 24 h observation result was validated through interviews with residents, before analyzing with criteria of ideal climate conditions from the literature study. This study also presents relationships between the increase in mean daily energy consumption data and trends of humidity building design data. In conclusion, this present study establishes the starting point for exploring all features affecting the tropical climate benefits of passive design for building energy efficiency.
O CENÁRIO DAS CONTRATAÇÕES PÚBLICAS NO BRASIL E AS PRÁTICAS SUSTENTÁVEIS SOBRE OS TRADE-OFF LICITATÓRIOS

Published: August 2023

Este estudo buscou analisar o cenário das contratações públicas no Brasil entre os anos de 2018 a 2021 e suas respectivas práticas sustentáveis, valorizadas pelo princípio da economia das contas públicas, com vistas ao uso consciente dos recursos disponíveis. Para isso, a pesquisa foi direcionada para sinalizar os custos dos processos licitatórios e demonstrar os déficits e/ou ineficiências dos processos gerenciados pela máquina pública, além de desmistificar paradigmas pré-estabelecidos na sociedade sobre a forma de contratação pública. Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica utilizando materiais previamente publicados em livros, artigos, dissertações, teses e nos sites oficiais do governo federal e sites especializados em transparência. Vale ressaltar que, em termos de número de contratos, destaca-se o estado do Rio de Janeiro, porém em termos de volume monetário, o Distrito Federal ocupa a primeira posição em comparação aos demais estados brasileiros em contratos de licitação.
A PARTICIPAÇÃO DO SEGMENTO SOCIEDADE CIVIL NO CONSELHO ESTADUAL DE RECURSOS HÍDRICOS DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO
Authors: Néris Maria Cristina Navarrete , Pizella Denise Gallo
Published: August 2023

O artigo se propôs a averiguar a influência da participação do setor sociedade civil no âmbito do Conselho Estadual de Recursos Hídricos do estado de São Paulo, de modo a identificar o grau de controle social nas tomadas de decisão. Como metodologia, analisou-se o Regimento do Conselho, as informações sobre a periodicidade das reuniões, além da aplicação de questionários semiestruturados aos membros atuais do Conselho. O Regimento do Conselho adota o modelo tripartite, mas com poucos representantes da sociedade civil que não fazem parte do segmento de usuários. Deste modo, interesses do poder público podem subjugar os coletivos, prejudicando as tomadas de decisão. Em contrapartida, a participação da sociedade civil estabelece potencialidades para o processo democrático, contribuindo com o monitoramento das deliberações. Há necessidade de mudanças na composição do Conselho e melhorias das condições para que o segmento sociedade civil possa atuar de forma equilibrada aos demais setores nele representados.
