Authors: Makuwa Hope , Phooko Ntjeketli , Lentsoane James
Published: June 2024

In today's rapidly changing job market, there is a growing demand for digital skills. However, within Limpopo Province, many people face challenges due to a lack of necessary digital skills for the modern workforce. This digital skills gap is a big concern as it is affecting people's ability to find jobs. One reason for this problem is that policies aimed at improving digital skills are not being implemented quickly. For example, the South Africa Connect initiative, launched by the government in 2013, aimed to provide internet access to all schools by 2020, with even faster speeds by 2030. Nevertheless, these goals have not been met on time and this raises questions about how effective these policies are in addressing the digital skills gap and helping people find jobs in Limpopo. The study’s main goal was to assess how well these policies, especially the South Africa Connect initiative, are working to improve digital skills and job opportunities in the study area. Moreover, the study employed content analysis as its methodology. The content analysis focused on selected policy documents, aiming to systematically scrutinise these documents for criteria. These criteria included policy objectives, timelines, allocated resources and strategies designed to tackle the digital skills gap comprehensively. The study found that many students in the study area do not have access to the necessary digital tools, creating a significant digital skills gap. While the policies aimed to improve digital skills and job prospects, they need adjustments to work better in rural areas. In light of this, there is a need to accelerate the implementation of the South Africa Connect policy in rural schools, with a focus on achieving the connectivity targets set for 2020 promptly and it is essential to establish customised digital skills training programs tailored specifically to the distinct requirements of rural communities. To sum the study, addressing the digital skills gap in Limpopo Province requires swift policy implementation, tailored training, and ongoing stakeholder engagement for improved employability.

Published: June 2024

Digital literacies are critical strategic organizational resources and skills that youth employees need to obtain to effectively function at their workplaces. Technology has spanned the globe and transformed how organizations operate, recruit employees, and communicate their needs. As a result, digital literacy skills remain a prerequisite to employment opportunities in today’s competitive job market. The study aims to evaluate the importance of digital literacy in creating youth employment opportunities in the textile industry and the paper is underpinned by a conceptual framework, employing the empowerment theory. However, complemented by thematic content analysis of qualitative research. The findings showed that youth face several challenges as they transit from school to employment due to lack of experience and digital resources hence, youth struggle to make this shift, and they remain unskilled, underemployed, and unemployed, as the textile industry requires well-prepared and skilled employees, equipped with contemporary digital skills, and creativity to remain competitive in the global market. Thus, digital literacy emerges as a catalyst for employability, favouring those with skills over the unskilled. A robust and significant relationship was established between youth digital literacy and success in the textile sector. This means that the increase in youth’s cognitive skills promoting critical thinking and creating information using digital technologies is positively related to the textile industry. Beyond the work environment, digital literacy also affects the way people live and communicate. this research contributes to the discourse on workforce readiness and industry sustainability by emphasizing the transformative role of digital literacy. The study underscores the urgency of integrating digital literacy into education and training systems to adequately prepare young individuals for the future of work.

Published: June 2024

Economic growth, employment creation and resilience of businesses and industry in the 4th Industrial Revolution which is intertwined with climate change realities depends much on the implementation of digital technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The agricultural sector is no exception to these developmental realities. That is to say, the sector is equally compelled to implement AI in almost all the stages of agricultural production. From the cultivation of crops to transportation of the products to the target markets or the public. These will include having farmers and Extension Services implementing AI for crop yield detection, soil nutrients and moisture contents, climatic conditions predictions, milking and harvesting as well as weeds, pests and diseases identification and management. This paper explored the opportunities and challenges of AI in the implementation of Agricultural Advisory Services (AASs) for Sustainable Agriculture. These were achieved through extensive literature review which comprised of a conceptual framework for the implementation of AI in the AASs. The findings show the leveraging benefit of AI in the production costs among farmers, increase in farm productivity, and ease of access of AASs which was always almost a mission to achieve, especially, in the developing countries. Therefore, it is recommended that the relationship between youth participation in the agricultural sector and the implementation of AI and Digital Technology in the sector be explored, with the impact of the implementation of AI in the sector and the contribution of the sector towards developing countries’ Gross Domestic Products (GDPs). The ethical implications of AI in AASs and the Agricultural Sector as a whole must be explored to unveil issues that may hamper the future acceptance of these digital skills and innovations.

The Future of Work: Assessing Job Susceptibility for Content Creators
Authors: Isabirye Naomi , Amusa Lateef , Rammitlwa Trevor , Twinomurinzi Hossana
Published: June 2024

Early studies on the influence of technological advancements on job susceptibility suggested that creative jobs were less inclined to technological displacement. However, as technology becomes more intelligent and capable of producing creative works, there is an increased need to reassess the future of creative jobs. Technological advancements in the media industry have led to a highly competitive market, increasingly characterized by a rise in gig work, precarious working conditions and job losses. There has also been a rise in innovations that substitute work (automation and digitization) and innovations that make work more efficient (Artificial Intelligence), raising the threat of technological job displacement for content creators. This study examined the social, political, economic and technological factors that make content creator jobs vulnerable, proposing a conceptual framework for evaluating their job susceptibility. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to demonstrate the proposed framework based on survey data from content creators. The results confirm that job susceptibility among content creators is shaped by social factors (organisational and leaders’ values, job precarity, occupational wellbeing and skills, knowledge, and ability), technological factors (innovative systems that drive efficiency and new technology driven models of business), political factors (a competitive labour market) and economic factors (emerging and declining occupations, job polarization, wage rates and wage equality, conditions of employment and precarious working conditions). The study makes a contribution to the creative sector, particularly in identifying a framework to determine how technological advancements could affect jobs and market dynamics among content creators. The framework can also assist practitioners, policymakers, and organisations in the creative industries in making informed decisions to mitigate job displacement and navigate the complexities of the shifting creative labour market.
Prevalence and properties of Klebsiella pneumoniae sensu stricto in food of plant origin on the market in the Czech Republic
Authors:   Veterinary Scientific Committee
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This study, prepared for the Scientific Veterinary Committee, deals with the prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN) in food of plant origin and the determination of virulence and antimicrobial resistance in the isolates obtained. The aim was to design and validate a culture procedure for the detection of klebsiella in food damples and to compare the results of prevalence, resistance and virulence obtained in this study with the results of typing of KPN from humans and animals. For the detection of Klebsiella pneumoniae in food, a culture method was described and validated based on testing a 25 g sample, non‐selective enrichment in buffered peptone water with subsequent plating on a chromogenic medium for klebsiella. A total of 51 samples of ready‐to‐eat packaged vegetables from 8 countries were tested. The presence of KPN was confirmed in 24 samples (47 %).
Screening for specific virulence genes and phenotype resistance did not confirm the spread of hypervirulent and/or multidrug‐resistant strains through food of plant origin. Comparison of virulence and resistance with human and animal strains showed that virulent and resistant strains are isolated most frequently from the respiratory tract of humans, and somewhat less frequently from animals (especially pigs).
Foods of plant origin do not pose a health risk to consumers in terms of virulence and resistance to antimicrobials, but the study shows that a different situation can be expected for foods of animal origin, especially from pigs, where strains with ESBL‐type resistance as well as strains with high virulence scores have occurred.
The Nutritional Value of Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor), its Breeding and its Perspective Application in Nutrition
Authors:   Scientific Committee on Animal Nutrition
Published: June 2024

Summary
Ensuring a high‐protein diet in the human population and important farm animals is closely related to looking for new protein sources intended for food and feed production. Quantitative and qualitative proteins are one of the basic components for human nutrition and farm animal nutrition. Under European conditions, there is a lack of production of protein raw material, especially those intended for livestock nutrition. Therefore, the European Agriculture policy also focuses on looking for and producing local non‐traditional protein components. One possibility for animal protein production is producing invertebrate proteins. There are currently a number of invertebrate taxa that can be used in human and animal nutrition, as illustrated by the study conducted in 2017 on the “Nutritional Value of Invertebrates and Their Application in Nutrition (present and perspectives)”. Currently, the larval stage of the Tenebrio molitor species seems to be promising, with fast use time. The presented study deals with the nutrition values of the produced biomass of Tenebrio molitor.

Today, many specialists from various fields, such as physiology, biology, rehabilitation, traumatology and others, are actively researching the functioning of the musculoskeletal system and its relationship with the central nervous system. This is a very relevant topic in today's world, as various factors such as traumatic injury, chronic or hereditary disease, neurological impairment and the aging process have a direct impact on the state of the musculoskeletal system, muscle function and movement coordination. One of our goals is to study the dynamics of two-joint equilibrium muscle contraction in order to determine the final forces created by the right upper limb of a person in the horizontal plane.
We are conducting a study in which the electromyographic (EMG) activity of the muscles of the shoulder and shoulder girdle, as well as the spatial and force parameters of movements that occur during free two-joint efforts, are studied. The purpose of this study is the process and mechanism of central coordination of motor commands sent to the muscles of the shoulder and shoulder girdle during bicondylar movements, especially when performing targeted efforts with the hand, in the presence of visual control.
Synchronization and coordination of the muscles of the shoulder and shoulder girdle during the performance of two-joint movements were studied in an experiment with experimental subjects. By recording the electromyographic activity of 8 muscles and calculating the moments of forces generated by the muscles, it was found that muscle synchronization was more pronounced during elbow flexion, and muscle coordination - during shoulder extension.
The findings of the study indicate that the muscles of the shoulder and shoulder girdle work in a synchronous and coordinated mode during two-joint movements. Muscle synchronization and coordination appeared to be important for precise movement control, with elbow flexion and shoulder extension showing greater accuracy compared to other movements.

This systematic review explores the incidence of Osgood-Schlatter Disease (OSD) in young athletes and non-athletes, focusing on its epidemiology and characteristics. OSD marked by patellar tendon irritation, local pain, and swelling, primarily arises from repetitive quadriceps strain during adolescence and sports activities. The study conducted a systematic review of twelve eligible studies, encompassing a total of 4814 participants. Football and basketball were identified as the sports most linked to OSD, with the condition more prevalent in young athletes than non-athletes. The heightened occurrence of OSD in athletes can be attributed to the repetitive stress on the tibial tubercle during activities like running and jumping. This research underscores the significance of understanding OSD's epidemiological aspects for effective prevention and management, particularly among adolescents experiencing growth spurts. It also emphasizes the need to educate young athletes on injury prevention and the early recognition of OSD symptoms, including knee pain and swelling.

The Soviet Past as Myth and Agenda
Authors: Korgunyuk Yu. G.
Published: June 2024

The article attempts to look at the theme of the Soviet past through the lenses of the political myth making. According to the starting premise of the study, any ideology from the point of view of mass consciousness is first and foremost a set of myths. At the same time, the article assumes that myths are most effective when they remain implicit and impact mass consciousness by implication, rather than directly. When explicated, myths are subject to intensive criticism and become less persuasive for a significant part of the audience. The author states that during almost the whole post-Soviet period, the topic of the Soviet past was present in the inter-party discussion more in the background and therefore acted mainly like mythology. The discussion around it largely resulted in the confrontation between the communists and the rest of the political spectrum (“communists against everyone”). In 1993—2003, that confrontation had a significant impact on mass political consciousness and occupied at least second place in its importance. Since the 2010s, this confrontation has been replaced by another one e.g., “everyone against the liberals”, which also manifested in the discussion on the issues of the Soviet past. Bearing the imprint of the imperial-patriotic mythology, the new confrontation was not clearly explicit, and at the level of the political agenda it was camouflaged by the theme of the Soviet past. The transformation of the latter from a “myth” into an “agenda” put Soviet mythology under the fire of criticism, diverting attention from the imperial-patriotic mythology.

Necati Cumalı’nin şiirleri üzerine bir inceleme
Authors: Bulduker Gülten
Published: June 2024

Florina’da doğan Necati Cumalı, (1921-2001), Cumhuriyet devrinde yetişen ve edebiyatın roman hikâye, oyun, deneme gibi çeşitli türlerinde eserler veren bir sanatçıdır. Lozan Anlaşması’ndan sonra Batı Trakya Türkleri, Anadolu Rumları ile mübadele edilince 1924’te ailesiyle birlikte İzmir’in Urla ilçesine iskân edilir. Şiirde arayışın sürdüğü 1940’lı yıllarda Garipçiler’le aynı sanat ortamını ve sanat anlayışını paylaşır, ama şiirlerine kendine özgü bir duyarlılık katmakla onlardan ayrılır. Kendi yaşantısıyla, gözlemleriyle ördüğü şiirinin dokusunu aşk, ölüm, yalnızlık, geçmişe özlem, yaşama sevinci, tabiat, memleket, yabancılaşama gibi çeşitli temalarla zenginleştirir. Onda şairliğinin ilk yıllarında beliren felsefî bir içe bakış, beraberinde siyasî eğilimlerin de eklenmesiyle yer yer toplumcu gerçekçi çizgiye kayar. Bununla birlikte Cumalı’nın şiirlerinde içeriğin zenginliğine nazaran, dış yapı, genel olarak zayıftır. Şair, çeşitli türde birçok eser üretirken şiire tam manasıyla odaklanamamıştır. Dolayısıyla geride zamana tutunacak estetik gücü yüksek bir şiir bırakamaz.

Steps on the way to a new nomenclature of liver diseases
Authors: Kharchenko N. V. , Shcherbynina M. B.
Published: June 2024

The term «steatotic liver disease (SLD)» is proposed to cover all patients with hepatosteatosis. Patients with SLD with one or more of the five cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRF) are further divided into «metabolic dysfunction‑associated steatotic liver disease» (MASLD) or «metabolic‑alcohol‑associated liver disease» (MetALD)/other combination of etiologies. СMRF includes: 1) body mass index ≥25 kg/m2 (≥23 kg/m2 for people of Asian nationality) or waist circumference >94 cm for men and >80 cm for women or taking into account ethnicity; 2) fasting serum glucose level ≥5.6 mmol/l (≥100 mg/dL) or glucose level 2 hours after exercise ≥7.8 mmol/l (≥140 mg/dL) or glycated hemoglobin ≥5.7% (≥39 mmol/L) or type 2 diabetes mellitus, or type 2 diabetes treatment; 3) blood pressure ≥130/85 mm Hg or antihypertensive treatment; 4) plasma triglycerides ≥1.70 mmol/l (≥150 mg/dL) or lipid‑lowering therapy; and 5) plasma high‑density lipoprotein cholesterol ≤1.0 mmol/L (Ј 40 mg/dL) for men and ≤1.3 mmol/L (Ј 50 mg/dL) for women or the patient’s receipt of lipid‑lowering treatment. Patients with SLD and at least one of the СMRF belong to the category of MASLD, if they have no other causes of steatosis. Patients in the new category of MetALD have characteristics corresponding to MASLD and consume alcohol in the amount of 20 to 50 g/day for women and 30 to 60 g/day for men.
In the absence of any СMRF, cryptogenic SLD or SLD with another specific etiology (alcoholic liver disease, drug‑induced liver damage, and monogenetic diseases) are distinguished. In the new nomenclature, the stages of steatosis and liver fibrosis have not been changed.
The role of inflammatory biomarkers in patients with ulcerative colitis and concomitant arterial hypertension, possibilities of treatment

Objective — to evaluate and compare inflammatory biomarkers (faecal calprotectin, serum zonulin) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and concomitant arterial hypertension (AH) before and after use of the mesalazine medication (Pentasa, Ferring International Center, Switzerland).
Materials and methods. The study involved 96 patients with UC aged 18 to 60 years. Patients underwent outpatient blood pressure measurement to assess the presence of arterial hypertension (AH). As a result, patients were allocated into two groups: group I consisted of patients with UC and concomitant AH (n=49; mean age 41.2±12.31 years, median age 38 years) and group II included patients with UC without concomitant AH (n=47; mean age 40.2±10.82 years, median age 41 years). All patients underwent physical examination. The diagnosis of UC was confirmed histologically with a preliminary colonoscopy. Endoscopic assessment of UC severity was performed according to the Mayo ulcerative colitis system. Clinically and endoscopically, patients were classified as having mild to moderate UC activity. The assessment of changes in inflammatory biomarkers (faecal calprotectin, serum zonulin levels) was performed in the groups both before treatment and after 6 weeks of mesalazine administration at a dose of 5.0 g/daily (4.0 g per os and 1.0 g per rectum). Faecal calprotectin levels were determined by enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay (Bühlmann fCAL Elisa). Serum zonulin levels were determined by Elisa, IDK Zonulin Elisa (Immunodiagnostic AG, Germany). Statistical processing of the data was performed using licensed statistical packages «Statistica 10».
Results. The average level of faecal calprotectin in group I was (367.05±148.23) mg/g, in group II - 319.57±146.65 mg/g. The difference of faecal calprotectin levels in groups I and II before and after treatment wasn’t significant (p=0.124 and р=0.263, respectively). The mean serum zonulin level in group I was 75.09±15.94 ng/ml, and in group II - 65.98±11.40 ng/ml. Serum zonulin levels after the treatment in group I were better than in group II, p=0.041. Serum zonulin is highly sensitive for assessing intestinal permeability in patients with UC and concomitant arterial hypertension.
Conclusions. The use of the Pentasa medication by patients with UC proved to be effective owing to its active anti‑inflammatory effects on pathologically altered areas of the intestinal wall. Assessment of inflammation biomarkers, such as faecal calprotectin and serum zonulin, is safe, affordable, non‑invasive methods that can be used to monitor treatment of patients with UC and concomitant arterial hypertension. Pentasa can be used in patients both with isolated ulcerative colitis and in combination with hypertension

Modelling Moral Decision-Making in a Contractualist Artificial Agent
Authors: Dalmasso Giovanni , Vidal Luis Marcos , Pretus Clara
Published: June 2024

As artificial intelligence (AI) systems become increasingly integrated into our daily lives, ensuring their ethical behavior is paramount. This paper introduces a novel approach to embedding moral cognition in AI based on contractualism, an ethical theory that deems actions appropriate if they can be justified based on the set of norms that govern interactions between pairs of agents. Our model, embodied in a robotic cleaning agent named Sweepy, makes decisions based on a combination of predefined norms and dynamic user feedback. This hybrid decision-making process allows Sweepy to align its behavior with individual user preferences, thereby enhancing user satisfaction. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate Sweepy's capability to learn and adapt its actions across different scenarios, illustrating the model's robustness and flexibility. This study highlights the advantages of the contractualist approach over utilitarian and deontological models, particularly in their support of user autonomy and fairness. Our findings underscore the need to develop AI systems capable of making ethically sound decisions in complex, real-world environments, paving the way for more trustworthy and user-centric AI applications.
