SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF HEAVY METALS IN THE BOTTOM SEDIMENTS OF BAYS OF THE SEVASTOPOL REGION
Authors: Kotelyanets E. A. , Sovga E. E. , Konovalov S. K.
Published: October 2024

The paper presents the results of studying the spatial distribution of heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Sr, Co, Fe, Mn) in the bottom sediments of the bays of the Sevastopol region. The data obtained during the 2003 to 2018 expeditions are analyzed. The spatial distribution and accumulation of heavy metals in the bottom sediments of the Sevastopol, Kazachya and Balaklava bays are studied. Correlations between their content and the physico-chemical characteristics of bottom sediments of the studied water areas (content of Corg, CaCO3, fractional composition) were obtained.

The metals with the same correlation coefficients for both the content of Corg and the silt fraction content are identified. These are Fe (r = 0,7) and Ni (r = 0,6) for bottom sediments of the Sevastopol Bay, Fe (r = 0,6) and Cu (r = 0,7) for the Kazachya Bay and only Ni (r = 0,8) for the Balaklava Bay. High correlation between Sr and CaCO3 content (r = 0,8) has been established for bottom sediments of all studied water areas.

It is shown that the spatial distribution of heavy metals is determined by physico-chemical characteristics of bottom sediments, which is confirmed by the magnitude of correlations in terms of the content of fine fraction and organic carbon, while the difficult water exchange with the open sea contributes to their accumulation up to maximum values.

Published: October 2024

There are unique types and subtypes of soils within the territory of the Crimean Peninsula. The growing tourist pressure on the region requires the increasing productivity of all industries, including oil refining. All this increases the risk of spills and leaks of oil and petroleum products during their transportation and pumping. However there is a large gap in the field of regulation of soil pollution with petroleum products (gross content), i. e. the absence of maximum permissible concentrations in the regulatory framework of the Russian Federation. To predict possible negative consequences of environmental pollution with oil and oil products, it is necessary to develop regional environmentally safe concentrations of oil and oil products, with due con[1]sideration of the local ecological and geochemical characteristics of soil types. The purpose of the study is to find the environmentally safe content of fuel oil in the soils of Crimea. Fuel oil contamination (1, 5 and 10% of the soil mass) was simulated in laboratory conditions. The study examined 7 types of Crimean soils, namely residual carbonate chernozem, drained solonetzic chernozem, dark chestnut solonetzic soil, brown carbonate soil, brown leached red soil, brown forest acidic soil and underdeveloped chernozem. After 30 days of the model experiment, the most informative biological indicators were determined in soil samples, i.e. biochemical (activity of catalase and dehydrogenases), microbiological (total number of soil bacteria and Azotobactersp. abundance) and phytotoxic (root length) indicators. It was established that fuel oil pollution had a negative impact on the biological properties of studied soils. The following series of soil resistance to fuel oil pollution has been obtained: residual-carbonate chernozem ≥ solonetzic drained chernozem = dark chestnut alkali = brown leached red-colored ≥ underdeveloped chernozem ≥ brown carbonate soil > brown forest acidic soil. The values of the maximum permissible levels of residual fuel oil content (MRLC) in the soils of Crimea were obtained: 0,33% in residual carbonate chernozem, 0,30% in dark chestnut solonetzic soil and solonetzic chernozem, 0,28% in brown carbonate soil, 0,35% in brown leached red soil, 0,33% in underdeveloped chernozem, 0,21% in brown forest acidic soil. The results of the study could be used in biodiagnostics of the ecological state and health of soils polluted with fuel oil.

Published: October 2024

The Clinical Trials Regulation (EU) No 536/2014 (CTR) came in force on January 31, 2022, specifying requirements for performing clinical trials in the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA). The CTR and the Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS) harmonise the approval process of clinical trials across the EU/EEA, provide a transparent process, and increase public access to information from clinical trials. Such transparency efforts must assure protection of personal data and commercially confidential information. The CTIS transparency rules were revised and recently implemented. The revised CTIS transparency rules focus on easier and earlier access by the public to documents of primary focus for patients and researchers. This article highlights the protection of personal data and commercially confidential information in public clinical trial documents according to the revised rules and also the EMA Policy 0070, which have overlapping transparency requirements. Medical writers and other functions involved in the preparation of regulatory documents during the clinical drug development play an integral role in applying transparency principles.

The influence of maintenance culture and its challenges on employee safety
Authors: Dorhetso Samuel , Degle Prince
Published: October 2024

The maintenance of assets of an organization within an environment that facilitates employee safety is essential to its growth. However, there is a dearth of detailed knowledge on how maintenance culture and its challenges influence employee safety. Thus, this treatise’s foci were to examine the direct influences of both maintenance culture and its challenges on employee safety and examine the mediating role of the challenges on the path between maintenance culture and employee safety.  A positivist explorative research approach was adopted for this study, and data were collected from staff within a specific firm’s maintenance unit.  A 5-point Likert scale closed-ended questionnaire was used for the survey. The data garnered were evaluated with partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) of regression analysis. The findings revealed that maintenance culture had a statistically significant influence on employee safety. Furthermore, it was found that challenges of maintenance culture had a statistically significant effect on employee safety. The study also found that there was a complementary partial mediation of the challenges of maintenance culture between the path of maintenance culture and employee safety. The findings of the study could be used primarily within the context of the transport maintenance industry. However, the verdicts of the study may also be generalized for usage in other fields, as it adds on to literature. It is projected that the yields of this study would inform strategic resolutions on maintenance culture by firms to create and maintain impressive levels of employee safety.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Meckel's diverticulum (DM) is formed by all layers of the intestinal wall and is a true intestinal diverticulum. It originates from failure in obliteration and absorption of the omphalomesenteric duct during the first trimester of fetal life. DM is an embryonic trace that affects 2% to 4% of the general population. It can have its symptomatic or asymptomatic form. The appearance of symptoms suggests complications such as digestive bleeding, which is more common in children. Clinical presentation includes abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, and bloody stools, as rectal bleeding is typically described as gooseberry or brick-colored jelly. The definitive treatment of DM is surgical. Discussion: Because DM is usually asymptomatic, particularly in adults, it may be found during a laparotomy performed for another reason. Although symptomatic Meckel can occur at any age, it is most often associated with younger ages. The clinical manifestations are varied and appear during the first decade of life. Three types of operations have been described: segmental resection-anastomosis, wedge resection and tangential stapling. Elective surgery is not recommended for cases where the diverticulum is discovered incidentally. Conclusion: It is essential that each case of Meckel's diverticulum be evaluated individually, taking into account variables such as gender, age, anesthetic risk, and diverticulum characteristics for a better prognosis and better choice of treatment. It can be symptomatic or asymptomatic, since when symptomatic, it is most often associated with complications.
Paraneoplastic Syndromes of the Nervous System in Patients Suffering from SCLC. A Review of the Recent Literature
Authors: Georgiannakis Emmanouel , Zougou Theoni , Mavrommatis Evaggelos
Published: October 2024

Background. Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndromes (PNS) constitute a heterogeneous cluster of disease manifestations related to various cancers. Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) is strongly related to PNS. This narrative review conducted a survey in the available PubMed literature to highlight the appearance of PNSs in SCLC cases and discuss published research highlights on the subject so that general practitioners can be acquainted with the medical phenomenon present in SCLC patients.
Method. A narrative review of the medical literature was conducted as documentary informative research in the PubMed medical database, combined with a survey of the online e-library Google Books. The key words used were: “Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndromes” and “Small Cell Lung Cancer”.
Results. Paraneoplastic syndromes are related to the presence of a malignancy and are not secondary to treatment. Paradoxally, both a malignancy and its therapeutic approach may cause a series of PNSs. Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, motor neuron disorders, peripheral neuropathies, hyponatremia, and syndromes such as myasthenic Lambert-Eaton, ectopic Cushing’s, Stiffman, and Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome may also appear in SCLC cases. Diagnosis follows specific criteria, and they are caused by tumor-directed antibodies known as onconeural antibodies. Immunosuppressants, intravenous immunoglobulins, plasma exchange, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, and tocilizumab could be considered as treatment agents.
Conclusions. Most patients demonstrate poor PNS treatment results with common relapse. The time for beginning treatment of PNS is discussed. A multidisciplinary team is needed for potentially earlier diagnosis and PNS improvement, better prognosis, and increased overall survival and quality of life.
Employee Salary Prediction in HRMS Using Regression Models
Authors: Hussain Jawad
Published: October 2024

The study uses regression models to examine AI model engagement in employee salary prediction. Salary prediction is significantly critical for both employees and employers. Employees try to get maximum benefit for the services they provide, and employers emphasize achieving organizational goals through optimized employee salaries. Inconsistency in employee salaries may cause organizations financial losses and organizational objectivity failure. Historically, salary was determined by historical data, market surveys, and personal judgment, which often resulted in inconsistencies and biases. With the availability of large datasets from Human Resource Management Systems and advanced machine learning algorithms, there is an opportunity to enhance the fairness of Salary Prediction. To overcome this problem in organizations, we have proposed a regression model for salary prediction with a promising accuracy rate of 99% with regression models. The methodology includes data processing steps including EDA, data standardization, feature correlation, and feature engineering to enhance the accuracy of the models. This study used Random Forest Regressor, Gradient Boosting Regressor, and Light Gradient Boosting Machine Regressor models for employee salary prediction. This research paper provides a valuable understanding of HR analytics for HR professionals and organizations for salary prediction of employees in an organization. Also, this research investigates the use of Machine learning algorithms to predict employee salaries while comparing employee performance and eliminating biases. The aim is to develop robust, data-enriched frameworks in HRMS for organizations for accurate and transparent salary prediction.

Current approaches to the identification and management of gambling disorder: a narrative review to inform clinical practice in Australia and New Zealand
Authors: Rodda Simone N , Merkouris Stephanie S , Dowling Nicki A
Published: October 2024

Gambling disorder is a recognised psychiatric disorder in the Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM‐5) and is classified as an addiction alongside alcohol and substance use disorders. The DSM‐5 describes a past‐year timeframe, episodic or persistent specifiers, early or sustained remission specifiers, and three gambling disorder severity specifiers (mild, moderate and severe).

Although anyone can develop gambling disorder, there are known risk factors. In studies involving general adult populations, the likelihood of developing the disorder varies with the type of gambling, and is particularly high for internet gambling, casino table games and poker machines.

Australia and New Zealand have shifted the focus of gambling disorder to the identification of gambling harm, in recognition that efforts targeting the prevention of harm may be more effective as they potentially influence a larger segment of the population.

Temporal categories of gambling harm (crisis harms versus legacy harms) affect help‐seeking and need for treatment. Crisis harms often motivate people to change their behaviour or seek help, whereas treatment addresses legacy harms, which emerge or continue to occur after gambling behaviour ceases.

The evidence base and clinical guidelines recommend cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing but there are many gaps in our understanding of treatment for gambling disorder, including an absence of high quality evaluations that assess treatment effectiveness over the longer term, especially for treatment delivered in community settings. There is also an urgent need to understand how, why and for whom treatment works so that interventions can be optimised to individual needs, thereby facilitating client engagement.

Because of limited access to health care and poor retention in treatment, in recent years there has been an increase in treatment choices in the form of internet therapies and smartphone applications.

Authors: ElBessa Mohamed , Shaltout Mohamed
Published: October 2024

The climatic parameters (surface air temperature, surface relative humidity, surface wind regime, and mean sea level pressure) are important in addressing adaptation/mitigation to climatic changes. In particular, the recent and future of these climatic parameters along the Egyptian Mediterranean Coast (EMC) were analyzed based on hourly real observed data (2007-2020) and hourly reanalysis (ERA5) database (1979-2020) together with daily GFDL (Global climate model) mini-ensemble mean (2006-2100). Recent climatic studies in the study area have not given enough attention to the downscaling approach, underscoring the need to set up a statistical downscaling technique to better understand the forces that govern climatic change. Here, we analyze the current climatic and future scenarios for the parameters studied in a three-step process. The first step is to study the current weather variabilities in the short term (14 years) using the real observed data. The second step is to describe the long-term (42 years) current weather variabilities over the studied stations using a reanalysis ERA5 database after bias removal by comparing with the observations. The third step is to statistically downscale the GFDL mini-ensemble, which means describing the future projection along the study area up to 2100. The statistical downscale technique is built on the developed bias correction statistical model by matching cumulative distribution functions (CDF) of the mini-ensemble mean and observations during the overlapped period (2007- 2020). The results show that ERA5 describes the efficiency of the weather characteristics of the five studied stations. This data, along with the EMC 2006-2020, displays a significant positive trend for surface air temperature and significant negative trends for surface wind speed, relative humidity, and sea level pressure. The GFDL mini-ensemble mean projection, up to 2100, has a significant bias with the studied weather parameters. This is partly due to the GFDL coarse resolution (2˚x2.5˚). After removing the bias, the statistically downscaled simulations from the GFDL mini ensemble mean show that the study area’s climate will experience significant change, especially surface air temperature and relative humidity with a great range of uncertainties according to the scenario used and regional variations. Our results are the initial step in enhancing the understanding and development of statistical downscaling techniques to project future climate scenarios over EMC.
Financial Empowerment of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises through Trade Receivables Discounting System: A Conceptual Analysis
Authors: SINGH Geeta
Published: October 2024

A vibrant Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector is fundamental for ongoing development in both advanced and emerging economies. MSMEs are significant employment providers, particularly in OECD countries, employing around two-thirds of the formal workforce. In India, MSMEs play an important role in the economy by fostering entrepreneurial culture, innovation, and job creation. They are well-distributed across various economic sectors, catering to domestic and international markets. As of November 2021, India had approximately 63.38 million MSMEs, with significant portions in manufacturing and trading, contributing about 29% to India's GDP. Despite their economic importance, MSMEs face significant challenges in securing financing, particularly working capital. Compared to larger businesses, MSMEs have higher capital intensity per unit of revenue due to limited internal cash reserves, making timely access to affordable finance essential. Liquidity issues, primarily due to delayed payments from corporate buyers, exacerbate these challenges. The Reserve Bank of India introduced the Trade Receivables Discounting System (TReDS) in 2014 to address these issues by facilitating the financing of MSME trade receivables from corporate buyers through multiple financiers. This study examines the condition of MSMEs in India, their economic significance, and their financing challenges, with a particular focus on the TReDS e-discounting platform. The study updates the literature by detailing the TReDS process, presenting recent data on its growth, and identifying current challenges.© 2024 The Author(s).

Effects of Political Instability on Financial Development in the West African Economic and Monetary Union Region
Authors: LOMPO Ahandi Vincent
Published: October 2024

This paper analyses the effects of political instability on financial development in the West African Economic and Monetary Union region (WAEMU) countries. The results are obtained using the autoregressive staggered lag model (ARDL) over an analysis period from 2002 to 2021. The main reason for this analysis period is the availability of data. The results show that political instability reduces financial development by lowering financial efficiency. Moreover, inflation tends to increase the negative effects of political instability on financial development. On the other hand, the interest rate manages to mitigate the negative effects of political instability on financial development. The results therefore suggest that measures should be taken to mitigate the risks of political instability. Consequently, the results suggest the development of policies against rising inflation and for the revision of interest rates in order to influence the level of political instability and financial development. © 2024 The Author(s).

Dynamics of Bank Profitability and Growth in West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) Countries
Authors: KOFFI Mounoufié Valery
Published: October 2024

The banking sector is vital to economic activity when it develops. Its development depends on the ability of banks to generate sufficient profits to meet their commitments. In this context, we set ourselves the objective of analyzing the effect of bank profitability on economic growth. The study covers the period from 1996 to 2023, and covers 7 WAEMU countries except Guinea-Bissau, for lack of data. Methodologically, we apply Bruno's (2005) Least Square Dummy Variable (LSDVC) bias correction approach to the dynamic unbalanced panel data model. The results indicate that bank profitability has a positive influence on economic growth in the WAEMU region, whatever the profitability index used. Inflation,Political stability and investment are not unrelated to economic growth in the union. It follows from these results that the union's authorities need to strengthen supervision of the banking sector to ensure that it remains profitable.© 2024 The Author(s).

Published: October 2024

The use of YouTube has various impacts on its users, especially on teenagers who like to watch live-streaming content of Mobile Legends games on Miya's Top Global channel. This study aims to analyze verbal communication in the live streaming content and identify changes in adolescent behavior after watching. The research method used is qualitative, using data triangulation techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study show that the Mobile Legends live streaming content on the Top Global Miya channel has a significant impact on adolescents' verbal communication, such as the use of coarse language, increased vocabulary related to the game, and changes in intonation and speaking speed. The discussion highlighted that although there is an improvement in more precise and concise communication skills, there are also negative impacts, such as the use of offensive language and verbal violence. In conclusion, this live-streaming content contributes to the formation of adolescent communication patterns that are not in accordance with social norms, and parental guidance is needed to overcome these negative impacts.
Analysis of the Influence of Fiscal Capacity and Economic Growth on the Human Development Index

This study aims to examine the impact of fiscal capacity and economic growth on the Human Development Index (HDI) in Southeast Sulawesi Province during the 2020-2022 period. A quantitative approach was used, using secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency and other relevant sources. The analysis method employed is multiple linear regression to assess the relationship between fiscal capacity, economic growth, and HDI. The analysis results indicate that fiscal capacity does not have a significant partial effect on HDI, with a t-value significance of 0.483 (> 0.05). This suggests that while fiscal capacity exists, the budget allocation has not been effectively channeled toward sectors that directly enhance quality of life, such as education, healthcare, and welfare. On the other hand, economic growth shows a significant positive effect on HDI, with a t-value significance of 0.000 (< 0.05). Economic growth improves the population's access to education, healthcare, and welfare. When considered, fiscal capacity and economic growth have a significant combined effect on HDI, with an F-value significance of 0.000 (< 0.05). However, more than fiscal capacity is needed, likely due to inefficiencies in budget allocation.
