Authors: Chang- Gyu Kim
Published: February 2024

Background/Objectives: Interest in regular mammography has grown as a way for early detection of breast cancer. In this study, we produced a phantom that allows for an evaluation of the image quality of images acquired at different phases using X-rays.Method/Statistical Analysis: To measure the radiation generated during breast cancer diagnosis using X-rays, the X-ray tube system by Varian was used to measure and analyze at a distance of 40 cm under the conditions of 22kVp, 20 mA, and 710mAs. To reduce errors in measurement, imaging of the breasts was done repeatedly for 10 times.Findings: In the absorption image, there were 5.0±0.2 fibers, 4.5 specks and 4.5 masses, making the total 14 which is higher than the 10 required to be officially authorized. In the dispersion and phase differential images, there were 5.5±0.0 fibers, 4.5 specks, and 4.5 masses, making the total 14.5 which is higher than the 10 required to be officially authorized. In addition the image quality was better than that of the absorption image. When a dosimeter was used, the radiation exposure was an average of 2425.85±0.33mR. When the absorbed radiation was measured using a glass dosimeter, it was 1,334±1.82?Gy. This was different from the value converted using the valid radiation.Improvements/Applications: In particular, phase differential imaging is expected to be applied to breast cancer tests where most of the tissue is soft, verification tests for foreign objects and forecasting of the progress in the disease.

Authors: Suandi Suandi , Yuliana Yuliana , Lawati Susi , Mahmud Amir
Published: February 2024

Trust building is a component of collaborative governance that involves face-to-face interaction, dedication to the process, mutual understanding, and short-term achievements. This study examines and outlines the various aspects of establishing confidence in the execution of village finance policies, based on the viewpoint of the Collaborative Governance Process theory. The study was carried out at Tanah Abang Selatan Village, which has been allocated village finances since 2015. Empirical evidence demonstrates that the trust actors place in the collaborative governance process can be beneficial in facilitating the achievement of actor support, cooperation, commitment, and successful policy implementation. Nevertheless, the existing literature on collaborative governance indicates a scarcity of studies on establishing trust in policy execution, particularly in the context of implementing village fund regulations. The findings of this study demonstrate that the establishment of trust among participants in the Collaborative Governance process significantly enhances the efficacy of implementing the village fund policy in Tanah Abang Selatan Village, Tanah Abang District, Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir Regency (PALI).

Significance of Transformational Leadership on Project Portfolio Success within the Micro Financial Sector in Cameroon
Authors: Ngochembo Gaston Gwemelang , Ful Honest Kfetua , Mbouh Vera Bekebang
Published: February 2024

Purpose: This research investigates the effect of transformational leadership on project portfolio success in the micro-financial sector in Cameroon.
Method: A quantitative research approach was used for this study. Data were collected from 205 managers of Microfinance institutions in Cameroon and analyzed with the help of the SPSS, version 25. AMOS 23 was used to conduct Confirmatory Factor Analyses to examine convergent and discriminant validity.
Results: The result showed that less than 60% of current microfinance institutions have adopted key aspects of transformational leadership (idealized influence; intellectual stimulation; inspirational motivation; and individualized consideration). It was observed that transformational leadership has a significant and positive effect on project portfolio success. The effect of such leadership is mediated by team building practices and teamwork quality.
Implication: Transformational leadership is not well recognized in the micro-financial sector of Cameroon irrespective of its effect on project portfolio success. Microfinance institution managers should adopt and apply such leadership for higher performance of their project portfolios.

During the investigations of discomycetes in Yunnan, China, five species of Tatraea were discovered on decayed, decorticated oak trees or unidentified wood. All species have typical disc-like, large fruiting bodies with grey, brown or greyish-green colors. The ITS sequence analysis showed that they belong to Tatraea (Helotiaceae, Helotiales) and the LSU and ITS combination revealed a different topology within the genus. Four species, T. clepsydriformis, T. griseoturcoisina, T. yunnanensis and T. yuxiensis were established as new species, and T. aseptata was collected and described on oak woods. The pairwise homoplasy index (PHI) test results indicated that there is no significant genetic recombination (Φw = 1.0) between all related species pairs. All the species described here are supported by descriptions, illustrations and multi-gene analyses.

La durabilité sociale pourrait, un jour, être le fruit d’une interaction entre l’homme et le cyberespace. Un réseau de systèmes d’information pour la durabilité est un instrument qui collecte, connecte et partage des données à travers la société. Un tel réseau de systèmes d’information, conçu pour différencier les données relatives à diverses parties prenantes en fonction du moment et de l’échelle, est encore inexistant. Cependant, des projets, des modèles et des collaborations sont en cours, réunissant les entreprises et les universités pour faire avancer cette cause. Les principaux problèmes liés à la complexité de la société et au manque d’ensembles de données de qualité, résultats de méthodes d’évaluation contradictoires et de variations de terminologie dans les domaines scientifiques, appellent des travaux de recherches supplémentaires avant que des systèmes d’information puissent être développés de manière efficace. L’harmonisation des évaluations, des mesures et des outils de mesure de la valeur sociale est une première étape vers l’introduction d’un modèle qui servira de guide aux parties prenantes pour discuter, et aux ingénieurs en informatique pour développer, tester, mettre en œuvre et améliorer les technologies qui interagiront, fonctionneront et penseront conformément aux attentes de la société en termes de durabilité. Les universitaires et les décideurs politiques font converger la recherche empirique et les réformes. Le Mécanisme de Facilitation Technologique (MFT) de l’Organisation des Nations unies (ONU) favorise la collaboration entre les différentes parties prenantes et les États membres. Le cadre des systèmes socio-écologiques (SES) permet aux chercheurs de différentes disciplines, secteurs ou zones géographiques d’élaborer et de tester des théories et des modèles avec un vocabulaire commun dans des contextes empiriques différents. Un concept d’écosystème numérique stigmergique en est aux premiers stades de la modélisation pour faciliter l’auto-organisation des processus. Des recherches récentes ont étudié les exigences sociétales d’un réseau de système d’information stigmergique (SIS) pour la durabilité sociale. Les technologies distribuées sans échelle et le supercalculateur, l’intégration des ensembles de données et l’agrégation des informations pourraient, un jour, guider les entreprises et les décideurs vers des activités susceptibles de résoudre les problèmes sociaux.

Cette recherche vise à comprendre comment des entreprises multinationales françaises prennent en compte l’enjeu environnemental et notamment climatique (ODD 13) dans la gestion de la mobilité internationale (MI) au niveau des ressources humaines (RH), et quelles évolutions cela entraîne. Nous identifions cinq leviers favorables à un engagement des services MI dans la réduction de gaz à effet de serre : l’attractivité des talents, la volonté d’alignement sur la stratégie de l’entreprise, les convictions personnelles des équipes MI, l’image de l’entreprise et la possible réduction de coûts. Trois politiques types se distinguent avec chacune ses avantages et inconvénients. L’impact de ces politiques reste néanmoins limité tant qu‘elles ne portent que sur la MI. En abordant le sujet de manière plus stratégique, en le reliant à la gestion des talents, l’impact de la démarche est démultiplié.

Les pays africains ont ratifié toutes les conventions des sommets concernant le Développement Durable (DD) et le Niger n’était pas en reste. Mais, ces pays étaient-ils vraiment dans une dynamique volontariste ou bien, d’autres raisons étaient-elles à la base de cet engouement pour le DD ? Leurs besoins présents peuvent-ils les autoriser à s’engager dans une démarche d’économie de ressources naturelles au profit des générations futures ? C’est cette problématique qui nous guide et nous avons analysé le cas du Niger, un pays pauvre, à l’aide d’une enquête auprès de hauts cadres de l’administration. Nous avons ainsi relevé que le Niger a mis en place un impressionnant design comprenant un cadre législatif, institutionnel et des programmes et politiques. Cependant, cette organisation fait la part belle à la première dimension du DD – celle de répondre aux besoins du présent- et semble occulter la solidarité avec les générations futures. De plus, les actions du terrain ne suivent pas de façon satisfaisante les intentions annoncées.

Les liens entre handicap et travail sont complexes. D’une part, le travail peut engendrer des handicaps, et certains emplois plus que d’autres. D’autre part, les personnes handicapées sont souvent pénalisées dans le monde professionnel : elles peinent à accéder à l’emploi, à s’y maintenir et à y progresser. Dans cette contribution, nous mettons l’accent sur ces obstacles.

In the context of advancing technological development, chatbots have emerged as an innovative tool in the field of mental health, offering new possibilities to provide therapy and emotional support in an accessible and convenient manner. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a chatbot implemented in a web application designed to provide emotional support to an adult population, specifically targeting young people and adults over the age of 18. The research focused on user satisfaction with the chatbot experience. Using a qualitative approach and non-random convenience sampling, we collected feedback on the chatbot’s performance from 15 users through an online questionnaire. The results showed a positive assessment, with an average satisfaction score of 4.09 on a scale of 1 to 5. The participants expressed their approval of the emotional support provided by the chatbot, emphasizing the sense of understanding and trust generated by the therapeutic interventions and emotional support. In conclusion, this study successfully assessed user satisfaction with the emotional support chatbot, emphasizing its significance in the realm of digital mental health. The scope of this study was solely focused on user satisfaction. For future research, it is recommended to expand the scope to investigate the correlation between user satisfaction and therapeutic outcomes. Additionally, there is a need to tailor these systems to meet the specific emotional requirements of diverse user groups and enhance the efficacy of mental health patient care.

Lifestyle Factors and Cognitive Health
Authors: Singha Ranjit
Published: February 2024

This examination challenges the idea that mental health is exclusively influenced by genetic predisposition and aging. Lifestyle decisions substantially influence cognitive health, with social interaction, environmental influences, nutrition, physical activity, sleep quality, and stress management all playing pivotal roles. Meaningful social connections, a supportive environment, regular exercise, a balanced diet, adequate rest, and stress reduction are all associated with mental resilience. Although cognitive training programs exhibit potential, continuous evaluation remains imperative. An all-encompassing approach that considers emergent technologies in addition to socioeconomic and environmental variables is consistent with shifting viewpoints regarding cognitive well-being. The advancement of cognitive capacities and mental well-being is intergenerational, impacted by habitual decisions, healthy conduct, and nurturing surroundings on both the individual and societal scales.

The neuro-developmental condition ASD, also referred to as autism spectrum disorder, is characterized ongoing difficulties in by confined, repeating patterns of behavior, hobbies, or activities, as well as through communication and social interaction. Autistic children may have trouble in interacting with others, and learning the meaning of words for them is difficult. Parents notice odd behaviors in autistic children such as lack of coordination and repetition of bodily actions like turning, waving their hands quickly, and jerking their head and body violently. Autism spectrum disorder cannot be cured but makes a huge difference in the lives of many children if early treatment is given. And so, diagnosis of ASD should be as early as possible. The use of deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) techniques provides significant impact in detection of ASD. This chapter provides effective ASD detection techniques which detect ASD in a fast and more accurate way.
