Unbalanced distribution of income in the conditions of a socio-oriented economy
Authors: Krylova Iryna , Khrystenko Olha , Tabatskova Ganna
Published: August 2023

In global practice, there is a tendency towards uneven distribution of income, and therefore research on many aspects of this topic should be expanded. This study raises the pressing issues of uneven distribution of incomes, which, in turn, creates poverty and social tension among different segments of the population. The purpose of this scientific work is to consider the main reasons for the uneven distribution of income at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, which is expressed in the reduction of tax progressivity, the weakening of trade unions, the reduction of competition and monopolisation, globalisation, tax evasion, an ineffective education system, and weak corporate governance laws which allow company management to set unlimited high salaries and much more. To achieve the purpose, the following research methods were used: statistical and economic, abstract and logical, comparative analysis, typological approach, and generalisation. As a result, methods of solving the above-mentioned problems were proposed, including progressive taxation, creation of equal opportunities for obtaining higher education and high-paying work, consideration of state investments in the social sector, creation of means of social mobility, etc. The consequences that uneven income distribution can lead to include political instability, reduced social mobility, crime, low life expectancy, financial instability, economic crisis, etc. This article also includes analytical study of indicators of income distribution equality using the Gini coefficient in different countries. The study represents value for the scientific community and researchers of the issue of income distribution in the conditions of a socially oriented economy

Fog water traps as a low-cost alternative source of wáter in coastal desert areas of the Pacific
Authors: Morales Vergara Luis P , Cunha Lima Ricardo , Bonnail Estefanía , González Allende Carlos
Published: August 2023

Water scarcity is the most common concept associated with the desert. The Atacama Desert is worldly known as the aridest desert on Earth. However, some populations are established in this area, requiring water for living that promotes the search of alternative water sources, as fog catchers taking in advance the regional fog event known as Camanchaca. During 2015, the construction of fog trap units was carried out on a hill in the Falda Verde sector in Chañaral (North Chile). In the design of these new fog trap units it was considered to improve the anchoring system and the distribution and angles of the clamping tensioners in order that the structure could withstand the maximum wind speeds that have been registered in the area, while recording the water accumulated by these units during a period of 12 months determined an average catchment of 22 liters of water/m2 per month.

Authors: SAI CHARAN LABISHETTY
Published: August 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising technology with the potential to
revolutionise healthcare delivery and improve patient outcomes. This comprehensive re-
view explores the transformative impact of AI in the context of healthcare, focusing on its
applications, challenges, and potential benefits. By leveraging AI algorithms, advanced
data analytics, and machine learning techniques, India has the opportunity to overcome
existing healthcare disparities, enhance diagnostic accuracy, optimise resource allocation,
improve patient engagement, and strengthen public health interventions. However, sig-
nificant barriers such as data privacy, ethical considerations, regulatory frameworks, infra-
structure limitations, and skill development need to be addressed for AI to fully realise its
potential. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of AI in
healthcare, highlights successful case studies, and outlines future directions for implementation.

Development and Mapping Techniques for the Comprehensive Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) for Jefferson County, Colorado
Authors:   , Fitzgerald Scot
Published: August 2023

The Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) development process highlighted in this document was developed for multiple CWPP for Jefferson County, Colorado. Documents were created for three Fire Protection Districts, and a larger scale plan was developed to cover all of Jefferson County. The county-wide plan was developed combining existing fire protection district CWPP information, infrastructure data from the Jefferson County GIS department, and fuels and vegetation from LANDFIRE in order to create maps with which wildfire hazards and fuel mitigation recommendations could be identified. The final CWPP is a tool for communities and other local stakeholders to implement wildfire hazard reduction measures.
Consensus statement for the management of incidentally found brain white matter hyperintensities in general medical practice
Authors: Ottavi Thomas P , Pepper Elizabeth , Bateman Grant , Fiorentino Mark , Brodtmann Amy
Published: August 2023

Introduction

There is a paradigm shift in our understanding of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) found on brain imaging. They were once thought to be a normal phenomenon of ageing and, therefore, warranted no further investigation. However, evidence now suggests these lesions are markers of poor brain and cardiovascular health, portending an increased risk of stroke, cognitive decline, depression and death. Nevertheless, no specific guidelines exist for the management of incidentally found WMH for general medical practitioners and other clinicians ordering brain magnetic resonance imaging scans for diverse clinical indications. Informed by a literature review and expert opinion gleaned from stroke neurologists, medical and imaging specialists, and general practitioners, we present our consensus statement to guide the management of incidentally found WMH in adults.

Main recommendations

When incidental WMH are found on brain imaging:

Perform a detailed history and examination to screen for neurological events.

Investigate for potential undiagnosed or undertreated cardiovascular risk factors, especially hypertension and diabetes mellitus.

Commence intensive and individualised cardiovascular risk management when risk factors are uncovered.

Treat underlying risk factors via accepted guidelines but note that antiplatelet and anticoagulant medications should not be prescribed for incidental WMH in the absence of an alternative indication.

Changes to management as a result of this consensus statement

A brain health opportunity. We consider the discovery of incidental WMH on brain imaging to represent an opportunity to investigate for common cardiovascular risk factors and to optimise brain health. This can be commenced and monitored by the general practitioner or physician without delay in waiting for an outpatient neurology review.

Identificação de antropofagia em fêmeas de Aedes aegypti visualmente classificadas como não ingurgitadas
Authors: Garrido Júnior Valdemir Orestes
Published: August 2023

Recentemente o Brasil sofreu com diversas epidemias de diferentes arboviroses, acometendo milhares de pessoas. Devido a isso, as autoridades de saúde pública têm realizado estudos de novas estratégias de combate ao mosquito Aedes aegypti, visando diminuir o número de pessoas afetadas por essas doenças, tanto por medidas de controle da infestação, quanto por medidas que visam diminuir o contato homem-vetor. Esse estudo teve como objetivo analisar fêmeas de Aedes aegypti classificadas como estágio 1 de Sella e evidenciar sua importância como parâmetro de avaliação de estratégias de diminuição do contato homem-vetor. O método utilizado para investigar a proporção de fêmeas que se alimentaram de sangue humano foi o ensaio imunoenzimático (ELISA). As fêmeas de mosquitos processadas nesse estudo foram capturadas em 3 regiões distintas da cidade de Marília-SP. Os ensaios evidenciaram a importância do processamento de fêmeas em todos os graus de digestão sanguínea, pois mesmo as que visualmente não continham a presença de sangue em seu abdômen apresentaram alto percentual de positividade para sangue humano. Demonstra-se que a utilização da proporção de fêmeas alimentadas com sangue humano pode ser um índice interessante para avaliar estratégias protetivas de diminuição do contato homem-vetor.

Authors: Rangel Osias , De Melo Murbach Matheus
Published: August 2023

A leishmaniose visceral (LV) é uma doença de transmissão vetorial com ampla distribuição geográfica no mundo. No Brasil, ocorre a forma zoonótica tendo no cão (Canis familiares) o seu principal reservatório. Objetivo: Analisar a Razão de Prevalência (RP) de cães soropositivos para L. infantum em áreas com diferentes quantidades de cães por imóvel, e a distribuição espacial do Risco Relativo (RR) para infecção por L. infantum por Setor Censitário do município de São Pedro-SP Métodos: Foram analisadas amostras de 1.283 cães distribuídos em 710 imóveis de uma região composta por dez Setores Censitários do município de São Pedro-SP, no ano de 2016. Os resultados sorológicos dos cães positivos foram confirmados por meio da concordância positiva dos testes imunocromatográfico rápido em dupla plataforma (DPP®) e Ensaio de Imunoabsorção Enzimática(ELISA) realizados em laboratório de referência estadual com amostras de inquérito sorológico canino, como atividade do Programa de Vigilância e Controle da Leishmaniose Visceral do estado de São Paulo. A RP foi obtida por regressão binomial negativa Tipo I, e a distribuição espacial do risco RR por estimador bayesiano empírico global. Resultados e discussão: Os resultados demonstraram que, em média, a cada cão adicional por imóvel, a RP aumenta em 63% o risco de infecção por L.infantum. Em dois Setores Censitários houve acréscimo médio de 10% para a infecção e, em um Setor Censitário, o acréscimo médio foi de 20%. Conclusões: Conclui-se que as ações de vigilância e controle para leishmaniose visceral vigentes no país devem ser priorizadas e intensificadas nos imóveis e nos Setores Censitários identificados por este estudo como sendo de maior risco para LVC.

Published: August 2023

Introdução: Tracoma é uma doença infecciosa ocular, reconhecido como uma importante causa de cegueira, afetando, principalmente, indivíduos que vivem em regiões quentes e secas, com precárias condições de saneamento básico, higiene e associado ao baixo nível educacional dos pais. Segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS), o tracoma ativo afeta cerca de 21 milhões de pessoas, com cerca de 2,2 milhões de cegos ou deficientes visuais graves e 2 milhões possuem triquíase. A transmissão pode ser direta ou indireta e ocorre principalmente em crianças. O tratamento é feito com Azitromicina em dose única e caso a doença não seja tratada, com o passar do tempo, pode causar cegueira. Para considerar o tracoma eliminadocomo um problema de saúde pública a prevalência deve ser menor do que 5%. Métodos: O estudo foi realizado em crianças pré-escolares de 1 a 5 anos e escolares de 6 a 9 anos de idade, no município de Pirapora do Bom Jesus, estado de São Paulo. A meta foi examinar 95% das crianças de 1 a 9 anos de idade e encontrar uma prevalência de tracoma inflamatório menor do que 5%. Foi realizado exame ocular externo, após atividades de educação em saúde. Todos os casos e seus familiares foram tratados. Resultados: A prevalência de tracoma foi de 1,9%, não ocorreu diferença significativa entre os sexos, porém houve significância estatística (p=0,01) entre os escolares epré‑escolares. Conclusão: O estudo provou que em Pirapora do BomJesus, o tracoma não é um problema de saúde pública.

Published: August 2023

This paper presents an optimal control of intervention strategies for the menace of Banditry taking into account media campaign against Banditry  rehabilitation of Bandits detainees and use of military force against Banditry  as control strategies. The Banditry free equilibrium, Banditry present equilibrium and the basic reproduction number of Banditry  were obtained. The stability analysis results suggest that the Banditry free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when   and otherwise when . The Boko Haram presence equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when  and unstable if . We used the three control strategies and updated the Banditry menace model. The optimal control issue was resolved using Pontryagin's Maximum Principle (PMP).It was discovered that there is a significant decrease in the population of Bandits and increase in the number of rehabilitated Bandits and detained Bandits when the control measures are implemented compared to the case without control. We solved the optimality control using a forward-backward sweep strategy implemented in MATLAB for numerical simulation. Additionally, we saw that the number of people detained fluctuates as the number of people receiving rehabilitation rises. We argue that in order to lessen or completely erase the menace caused by Bandits in society, the government should fund media campaigns and rehabilitation initiatives.

Published: August 2023

In the field of digital media economics, (increasingly) digitised traditional media and platforms are acting in both competition and cooperation. It is here that the coupling of commercial success and cultural value, which is a characteristic of media products, is particularly challenged as customisation and concentration of power meet questions of ethics. This textbook examines these discrepancies from the perspective of communication studies. It brings together the central findings and theories of media economics with the field of digital media economics. In addition to the organisation of digital media economics, it presents production processes, products, markets and strategies. The volume also deals with media management and constellations of actors in the media and journalism.

The civil protection system in Germany is facing new challenges due to climatic, social and geopolitical changes. The volume defines the relevant legal and technical terms, distinguishes them from each other and pre-sents the legal borders in which civil defence and disaster control are framed. Problems of constitutional and simple law are identified and solutions are proposed. Emphasis is also placed on examining the organisational law of the various actors in civil protection. In addition, personnel law provisions concerning fire brigades, relief organisations and THW, among others, are examined, with a focus on voluntary legal relationships.
Die Grenzen der Verlagerung von Gerichtszuständigkeiten beim europäischen Investitionsschutz
Authors: Stöcker Sebastian
Published: August 2023

Following the ECJ's Achmea ruling, uncertainty reigned in European investment protection. In particular, the termination of all bilateral investment treaties between Member States created a vacuum with regard to the protection of Member States' investments and law enforcement. There are various options for filling this gap, each of which involves a degree of legal uncertainty. The most legally secure alternative to a judicial body independent of the Member States would be the establishment of a specialised court under Article 257 TFEU. Its autonomous design could take account of procedural specificities and rely on an established structure.
Renal Ischemia and Hypoxia: Functional Differences and Possible Clinical and Therapeutic Consequences
Authors: Bipat Robbert , Steels Paul , Toelsie Jerry
Published: August 2023

End stage kidney disease contributes to a huge burden on global health. Recent advances have shown that ischemic and hypoxic conditions may contribute to the progression of the disorder and that acute kidney injury may cause and aggravate the condition. Ischemia and hypoxia are two distinct conditions with different pathophysiological and structural consequences as proven in the brain and liver of rats. Until now, these differences have not been shown to exist in the kidney. In this study, we assess the possible functional differences in the outcome of ischemic and hypoxic stress on the kidney. For this purpose, we perfused isolated rabbit kidneys with their autologous blood and applied short periods of ischemia or hypoxia in separate series of experiments. The results showed that the kidneys exposed to hypoxic stress suffered more functional damage than those subjected to ischemia. This conclusion was based on a lower creatinine clearance and urine osmolality, and a higher fractional excretion of urea, sodium, and glucose in the hypoxia series of kidneys. Consequently, we recommend monitoring hypoxemic conditions closely and correcting the condition as soon as possible, since even for a short period it may already have deteriorating effects on the renal function.
Ethics and Online Education
Authors: De Agostini Giancarlo
Published: August 2023

Before the pandemic, both in Ecuador and in the world, e-learning was not widely used, although it was known. This proposal is since in the post-pandemic period there has been an increase in the use, in general, of distance education, in its different modalities, with very little experience on the part of teachers in the design of courses for online or virtual education, in the various educational platforms. However, ethics, mainly from the teacher’s point of view, has not been wholly developed. The teachers’ training in the design of virtual events is necessary, together with their human capacity to relate to students and their preparation to properly use educational platforms with their dozens of internal facilities and the hundreds of existing and free Open Educational Resources (OER). This document discusses the teachers’ ethics, especially for the online modality, as an essential point, in its various perspectives.

Authors: Alipour Faeze , Norouzi Asghar , Hosseini Seyed Hamzeh , Sharif-Nia Hamid , Rezapour Maryam
Published: August 2023

Background: With the spread of infectious diseases, especially coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), healthcare workers are vulnerable to mental health problems. Culture-based interventions in such critical situations are highly effective for the individuals in that cultural context. Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate the effect of Logotherapy Based on Rumi’s Thoughts (LBRT) on depression, anxiety, and distress in frontline nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The present study employed a quasi-experimental controlled pre-test-post-test design with a 2-month follow-up. This interventional study was conducted on frontline nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic 2020. Imam Khomeini and Fatemeh Zahra hospitals were selected as the research samples, as they were the main educational and medical centers of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Mazandaran, Iran, and provincial referral centers. A total of 32 eligible individuals were selected for experimental (n = 16) and control (n = 16) groups through the convenience sampling method. The data were collected using the Impact of Event Scale-Revised and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Logotherapy Based on Rumi’s Thoughts included eight sessions of 90 minutes. The control group did not receive any intervention during the study. The data were analyzed using repeated-measures one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The results revealed a statistically significant difference between the two groups. The intervention group exhibited lower levels of depression and anxiety among the frontline nurses at the post-test and 2-month follow-up than the control group (P < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of distress at the post-test and 2-month follow-up (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The findings showed that LBRT improved anxiety and depression among frontline nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this intervention did not significantly affect frontline nurses’ distress during the COVID-19 crisis. Further studies should examine the effectiveness of culture-based interventions in critical situations.
What do Experts Think About the Sustainability of Kiteboarding?
Authors: Heuer Dan , Janoušková Svatava
Published: August 2023

The relationship between sports and sustainability has been recognized 30 years ago but the impacts of developing sports remain unknown. By combining a scoping review with the Delphi method, our study uncovers the positive and negative impacts of kiteboarding on the social and natural environment. In addition to expected impacts such as improving the fitness of an individual and generating conflicts among kiteboarders and beachgoers, our findings reveal surprising impacts, most of which positive because the experts primarily regard kiteboarding as an environmentally friendly sport. The only severe environmental impact identified by the experts was the lack of recycling of kiteboarding products. Despite the widespread perception of kiteboarding as a sport that contributes to climate change, the experts failed to reach a consensus on the severity of the carbon footprint of kiteboarders, who travel to distant locations. This study highlights the importance of assessing the environmental effects of individuals’ sports.

Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode analisis bahan pustaka (library research), dengan menggunakan pendekatan berdasarkan peraturan perundang-undangan, konsep hukum, dan analisis teoritis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa polemik yang terjadi dari berbagai sudut pandang ahli pidana selama ini, terutama dalam penanganan kasus PT. Bank Lippo, Tbk (Bank Lippo) 2002-2003, melibatkan pertimbangan tentang apakah penggunaan hukum pidana ekonomi atau hukum pidana administratif memiliki dasar hukum yang kuat. Namun, penting untuk dicatat bahwa penulis ingin menekankan bahwa penerapan hukum pidana administratif, yang sebelumnya dianggap sebagai celah untuk menghindari sanksi pidana, ternyata tidak memberikan keuntungan yang lebih besar bagi para tersangka. Penerapan pendekatan yang dipilih dalam penyelesaian kasus PT. Bank Lippo, Tbk (Bank Lippo) 2002-2003 sejatinya merupakan implementasi dari teori Tujuan Hukum Gustav Radbruch, di mana tujuan akhirnya adalah untuk mencapai kepastian, keadilan, dan kemanfaatan hukum bagi masyarakat secara luas.

The purpose of this research is to understand and analyze the economic development in Kosovo. The research method used in this study is a literature review with a comparative approach. The results of this research indicate that the state of Kosovo, since its establishment as a legal entity, has formulated rules for its optimal functioning and development, with a special focus on the Economic sector. It is not coincidental that a particular emphasis is given to the Economic sector, as a well-developed economy correlates with a advanced nation. First and foremost, the economy is the best reflection of a nation, and through it, one can gauge the financial capacity of a country and the extent to which its workforce is developed. Considering that the economy forms the foundation of a stable and functional state, strategies are devised for its development. This involves analyzing and evaluating all efforts that can influence the country's economic growth. Therefore, the analysis of the economic situation begins at the central level, and then shifts the focus to the local level, determining which cities can contribute more to economic development. Statistical data on the economic conditions at the local level are based on the geographical area and the population of the municipalities. As a result, in terms of population and geographical area, the municipality of Prizren ranks second among municipalities.

Published: August 2023

This study investigated demographic pattern of harmful cosmetic application among female salon workers in tertiary institutions in Rivers State. Using a detailed descriptive cross-sectional design, the study surveyed 1200 salon operators across ten institutions with a rigorously validated questionnaire. The main goal was to understand the complex relationship between demographic factors such as age, experience, and education level, and the prevalence of unhealthy cosmetic practices. Through careful analysis of both descriptive and inferential statistics, the study found that unhealthy cosmetic practices were alarmingly common among salon operators. Dibutylphthalate was identified as the most frequently used toxic chemical. The study further revealed that younger operators aged 16-19, those with 4-7 years of experience, and those without formal education were more likely to engage in these harmful practices. These findings highlight the potential health risks associated with the use of unregulated cosmetics, especially among younger, less-educated operators. The study emphasizes the urgent need for education and awareness about the potential hazards of certain chemicals in cosmetics. In response to these findings, the study concludes with a strong recommendation for university authorities to take proactive steps to educate salon operators about these risks. It stresses the importance of adhering to safe cosmetic practices. By doing so, we can promote a safer and healthier salon industry for both operators and customers.
