Authors: Almeida J.
Published: February 2025

Um estudo foi conduzido em Oliveira/MG, Brasil, durante o período reprodutivo desfavorável, com o objetivo de avaliar a perda de dispositivos intravaginais de progesterona em protocolos de IATF na espécie bubalina. Foram utilizadas 150 fêmeas (idade de 3,6 a 14,6 anos, peso médio de 720 kg e escore corporal de 4,5) distribuídas aleatoriamente em três grupos (G1 = 35, G2 = 55, G3 = 60). Todos os grupos seguiram o mesmo protocolo de IATF, que incluiu a aplicação de 2 mg de BE (Estrogin®) no D0, retirada do implante e aplicação de 400 UI de eCG (Novormon®) + 2 mg de PGF2α (Lutalyse®) no D9, 1 mg de BE (Estrogin®) no D10, e IA no D11. No entanto, altas taxas de perda de dispositivos foram observadas no D2 (p<0,05): G1 = 51,4%, G2 = 31,7% e G3 = 20%. As fêmeas apresentaram sinais de desconforto, como inquietação e aumento das contrações, resultando em prolapsos vaginais (G1 = 5, G2 = 7, G3 = 2). Aproximadamente 85% das fêmeas responderam à sincronização, manifestando cio até o dia da IA. O diagnóstico de gestação, realizado 50 dias pós-IATF, indicou 11% de gestação (15/136). As perdas de dispositivos em búfalas foram mais altas que as observadas em outras espécies de animais de produção, como possíveis causas atribuídas à maior sensibilidade do aparelho reprodutor, aumento das contrações devido e ao uso de ocitocina pré-ordenhas.

Introdução: A exposição a poluentes ambientais tem sido reconhecida como um fator de risco significativo para a saúde reprodutiva feminina. Substâncias como disruptores endócrinos, metais pesados e material particulado podem interferir nos processos fisiológicos reprodutivos, resultando em desfechos adversos como infertilidade, alterações hormonais e complicações gestacionais. Diante da relevância do tema, este estudo busca sintetizar as evidências sobre os impactos da poluição ambiental na saúde reprodutiva, destacando a importância de políticas públicas e ações preventivas. Objetivo: Investigar a influência da exposição a poluentes ambientais na saúde reprodutiva feminina, analisando os mecanismos biológicos envolvidos, os desfechos relacionados e as implicações para políticas de saúde pública e práticas sustentáveis. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura conduzida em bases de dados como PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Foram incluídos estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, em inglês, português e espanhol, que abordassem os impactos dos poluentes ambientais na saúde reprodutiva feminina. A análise dos dados foi realizada de forma qualitativa, organizando os resultados em categorias temáticas: infertilidade, alterações hormonais, complicações gestacionais e desigualdades ambientais. Resultados e Discussão: Os resultados apontaram que os disruptores endócrinos interferem diretamente nos processos hormonais, afetando a ovulação e a qualidade dos oócitos. Substâncias como bisfenol A e ftalatos foram associadas a maior risco de infertilidade e condições como endometriose. Complicações gestacionais, como aborto espontâneo e restrição de crescimento intrauterino, foram frequentemente relacionadas à exposição a poluentes atmosféricos. Além disso, populações vulneráveis, especialmente mulheres de baixa renda, enfrentam maior risco devido às desigualdades ambientais e ao limitado acesso a serviços de saúde. Estratégias integradas, como regulamentação de substâncias químicas e campanhas educativas, foram destacadas como essenciais para mitigar esses impactos. Conclusão: A exposição a poluentes ambientais afeta significativamente a saúde reprodutiva feminina, reforçando a necessidade de ações preventivas e políticas públicas eficazes. A promoção de práticas sustentáveis e a conscientização sobre os riscos são essenciais para proteger a saúde das mulheres e reduzir as desigualdades ambientais.

Comparative Analysis of Environmental Health Regulations and Patient Health Outcomes
Authors: Varma Pooja , Tamhankar Gauri , Mehta Sonia , Pradhan Antaryami
Published: February 2025

This study looks at how different rules about environmental health affect public health by looking at the link between these rules and how well patients do with their health. Environmental factors, like the cleanliness of the water and air, and exposure to dangerous materials, are constantly known to play a big role in both long-term and short-term health problems. But even though these external factors are becoming more well known, there is still a big hole in our knowledge of how the rules meant to lower these risks actually lead to real health changes for patients. The study looks at how environmental health policies work in different parts of the world and compares them, focussing on how well they work at lowering the number of people who get diseases like cancer, heart disease, and breathing problems. It uses both personal and quantitative data from case studies, patient health records, and environmental tracking figures to find patterns and links between tighter environmental health rules and better patient results. The study looks at many rules, such as carbon standards and trash management policies, to find the main things that make these measures work or not work. The study also looks at how public health programs, education, and attempts to involve the community affect how well environmental rules work overall. It is also thought about what role discipline and cooperation play in achieving these health gains. The results show that strong public health rules must be put in place and followed in order to improve patients' long-term health. There are, however, differences based on socioeconomic class, region, and access to healthcare resources. This shows the need for a more comprehensive approach that mixes regulatory measures with proactive health treatments.

Authors: Majumder Roshni , Sahu Samir , Mane Manashree , R. Sikchi Sarika
Published: February 2025

Still major causes of concern for health worldwide include chronic illnesses such diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Using efficient teaching strategies helps one to control these disorders and raise patient outcomes. With the major objectives of improved patients’ capacity to regulate their own health, stick to their treatment plans, and make wise decisions, this paper investigates the impact of many instructional strategies in healthcare environments. Among the techniques applied are extensive research of the pertinent literature, case studies, and surveys sent to patients and medical professionals. We investigate how effectively various approaches of instruction—digital platforms, in-person counselling, group sessions—work using both qualitative and quantitative data in a mixed-methods approach. The findings reveal that patients far more participate in their treatment and illness control when tailored, patient-centered instruction with group support and interesting technology is used. Regular follow-up instruction helps patients to stick to their medicines and reduces connected issues related to their disease. To improve patient outcomes and reduce the long-term costs of chronic illnesses for healthcare systems, customised learning approaches must thus be included into their treatment. To achieve long-lasting improvements in treatment for chronic diseases, the study reveals that healthcare professionals must devise fresh approaches to teach that fit the interests and particular health needs of their patients.

Published: February 2025

To appreciate how the professional demands brought on by the corona virus disease - 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic impacted nurses and other healthcare workers' morale and general quality of life (QOL), and how it influenced their capacity to serve patients. For healthcare professionals who are providing patient care, this pandemic presents the prospect of a poor work-life balance and heightened Moral Distress (MD). Research that was semi-structured with outpatient healthcare professionals (HCP) was conducted using a converging multidisciplinary design with snowball sampling techniques. As a consequence of the apparent lack of support from decision-making leadership, the availability of personal protective equipment (PPE), and the frequently shifting legislation, healthcare professionals (HCPN) reported an increase in moral agony and a decrease in their professional quality of life (PQOL). By implementing shared governance, training in crisis management, and increased communication, executive leadership may be able to prevent a decrease in PQOL and an increase in MD among front-line HCPNs.

Published: February 2025

The study of psychology examines human thought and behaviour, which are essential for understanding public health, as many health outcomes are closely tied to human activities. Poor habits such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, unhealthy eating, and lack of exercise significantly affect health. This research employed a combination of online academic databases and search engines to gather articles that explore the connection between public health psychology and subjective well-being (SWB). Key sources included Google Scholar and PsycINFO, focusing on literature relevant to SWB factors and theories. Selection criteria emphasized relevance, interdisciplinary approaches, journal impact, research location, and accuracy. Over 50 research publications were analysed, with 20 summarized for this study, centring on SWB empirical literature. Four broad theoretical categories were identified: evaluative theories, fulfilment and commitment theories, emotional theories, and personal orientation theories. Analysis revealed inconsistencies in theoretical and procedural frameworks, complicating systematic comparison of empirical findings. The research identified seven key factors influencing SWB: personality, socioeconomic status (SES), community support, faith and social norms, basic participant characteristics, and geography and infrastructure. These determinants highlight opportunities to strengthen the link between theory and empirical research. Furthermore, overlaps among determinants and theoretical categories suggest the potential for simultaneously testing multiple theories. This integrative approach could advance our understanding of SWB and its impact on public health.
Implementation of Legal Protection in the Field of Pharmacy in a Juridical Review of the Implementation of Law Number 30 of 2000 Concerning Trade Secrets
Authors: Habib Yahya Abdul , Erbiana Nyi Mas Gianti Bingah
Published: February 2025

The protection of trade secrets in the pharmaceutical sector is very important. Various trade secret crimes in the pharmaceutical sector, such as theft of drug prescriptions and counterfeiting of medicines, continue to increase. Another impact of trade secret crimes in the pharmaceutical sector is the medical risk of counterfeiting drugs consumed by the public. However, on the one hand, victims who have trade secret rights in the pharmaceutical sector are still few to report allegations related to trade secret violations. In addition, law enforcement has not been optimal in responding to every complaint from the public regarding the theft of drug prescriptions, counterfeiting of various pharmaceutical products, and complaints from trade secret rights owners. For this reason, the existence of Law Number 30 of 2000 concerning Trade Secrets should provide legal protection for every owner of trade secrets in the pharmaceutical sector and also the public who are victims of trade secret crimes in the pharmaceutical sector

Authors: Yundayani Audi , Alghadari Fiki
Published: February 2025

Promoting self-determination was identified as facilitating access to effective learning in higher education contexts. However, amidst the competitive educational climate and various contemporary educational issues, there remained a gap in understanding the factors influencing its implementation. This study explored the factors that reflected students' self-determination for effective learning. This quantitative study involved two hundred and eighty-five participants from private universities. Data were collected using a questionnaire containing twenty-three statement items to measure students' determination in their learning, and then the data were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The study revealed six factors of student determination for effective learning. They were learning control and flexibility, learning strategy development, academic ability and engagement, academic progress and evaluation management, perception of the academic environment, and collaboration and social engagement. These factors need to be considered in developing strategies and educational interventions that are truly efficient, as in a teaching scenario, to facilitate students' self-determination performance and promote academic success and student well-being.

The study investigated how teacher-effective communication mediated the relationship between students’ mathematics interest and performance. The descriptive survey design, which is anchored on the quantitative research approach of the positivism paradigm, was used, and 200 second-year students of a Senior High School in the Talensi district of the Upper East Region were selected through the means of stratified sampling procedures as well as random selections from the strata. A structural equation model (SEM) with bootstrap samples was used to analyze the gathered data, and it was discovered that students' performance in mathematics was positively and statistically impacted significantly on their interest in the subject. In addition, teacher-effective communication was found to have a significant direct positive statistical effect on students’ mathematics performance. Furthermore, students’ mathematics interests correlated positively with the teacher's effective communication. The findings indicated that there existed a partial mediation effect of teacher-effective communication on the relationship between students’ mathematics interest and students’ mathematics performance. Teachers should be allowed to grow professionally in teaching mathematics to communicate vividly and efficiently in mathematical concepts. This will strengthen their mathematical communication skills and also imbibe in them the abilities to incorporate different kinds of collaborative learning techniques to aid students in making faster progress in their mathematical proficiency.

Panorama da Morbimortalidade por Diabetes Mellitus e Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica no estado da Bahia entre 2010-2022
Authors: Silva Tatiana Sampaio da , Neves Júnior Murilo Pedreira
Published: February 2025

Introdução: Até o século passado, as principais causas de mortalidade no Brasil e no mundo eram as doenças infecciosas e a fome. No entanto, com as mudanças no perfil epidemiológico ao longo do século XXI, as doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, como Diabetes Mellitus (DM) e Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS), passaram a predominar na morbimortalidade. Nesse sentido, Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) desempenha um papel crucial na prevenção, detecção precoce, tratamento e acompanhamento dessas condições, ainda que muitos pacientes continuem a enfrentar complicações graves, como doenças cardiovasculares e renais. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever a prevalência e o perfil epidemiológico de internações e óbitos por DM e HAS no estado da Bahia entre 2010 e 2022. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo ecológico e descritivo com base nos dados dos Sistemas de Informação Hospitalar e de Mortalidade do DataSUS. A população-alvo incluiu residentes do estado da Bahia, com descrição de variáveis como internação e óbito de acordo com sexo, cor/raça, faixa etária, escolaridade, estado civil, caráter e regime de atendimento e local do óbito. Por se tratar de dados de domínio público, não foi necessária a aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: No período, foram registradas 164.176 internações por DM, sendo a maioria de pacientes mulheres, com 60 anos ou mais e que se autodeclararam pardas. Em relação à HAS, ocorreram 127.080 internações, com o mesmo perfil de prevalência: pacientes do sexo feminino, com 60 anos ou mais e que se autodeclararam pardas. Foram registrados 67.385 óbitos atribuídos ao DM e 55.485 à HAS, com perfil de prevalência semelhante: pessoas do sexo feminino, maiores de 70 anos, pardas e com baixa escolaridade. O coeficiente de mortalidade para DM variou de 28,8 por 100.000 habitantes em 2010 para 46,5 em 2022, e o para HAS variou de 24,8 em 2010 para 43 em 2022. Ademais, 97,7% dos atendimentos relacionados ao DM e 98,8% à HAS ocorreram em situações de urgência. Conclusões: Esses achados evidenciam a necessidade de fortalecer a APS, com foco na prevenção, no diagnóstico precoce, no tratamento adequado e no controle do DM e da HAS para evitar complicações graves, hospitalizações e óbitos por essas causas. A implementação de programas de educação em saúde, visando à promoção de estilos de vida saudáveis, é crucial para reduzir a incidência dessas doenças. Além disso, é fundamental garantir condições de vida e trabalho que promovam escolhas saudáveis e o acesso equitativo aos serviços de saúde, especialmente para as populações mais vulneráveis, a fim de reduzir as desigualdades em saúde.

Published: February 2025

Die Arbeit geht der Fragestellung nach, inwiefern verschiedene Selbstregulierungsansätze wie Freie Lizenzen (z. B. Creative Commons oder Open Source Software), geduldete Werknutzung und Vereinbarungen zwischen Plattformanbietern und Rechtsinhabern (Stichwort: „Upload-Filter“) bei der (kreativen) Nutzung und Verbreitung digital verfügbarer, urheberrechtlich geschützter Werke zur Lösung einer durch den Verfasser festgestellten, wachsenden Divergenz zwischen der von Nutzern, Urhebern und Verwertern gelebten Realität, den gesetzlichen Regelungen und den urheberrechtlichen Rechtfertigungsnarrativen beitragen können. Die Beantwortung dieser Frage erfolgt durch eine weitaus stärkere Einbeziehung der Erkenntnisse anderer Disziplinen wie (Verhaltens-)Ökonomie, Psychologie und Kreativitätsforschung als in juristischen Arbeiten sonst üblich. Dies erlaubt es, ein Rechtsgebiet nicht nur aus juristisch-dogmatischer Sichtweise zu betrachten, sondern auch die tatsächlichen Ausübungsbedingungen und Auswirkungen des Rechts genauer in den Blick zu nehmen und zum Teil einer juristisch fundierten Gesamtanalyse zu machen.

Spielräume für die Landesgesetzgebung und sonstige Maßnahmen der Landes- und Kommunalpolitik im Kreislaufwirtschaftsrecht
Authors: Richter Michael
Published: February 2025

Der Autor widmet sich einem Thema von Brisanz, das zurzeit in den Medien großen Niederschlag findet: Es geht um den Föderalismus und die Kräfteverteilung in Bund und Ländern. Ähnlich der Coronakrise sind für die Kreislaufwirtschaft die Aufgaben abzugrenzen.

Dabei untersucht die Arbeit v. a. die Frage, wie sich die Zuständigkeit der Länder nach Art.  74 Abs.  1 Nr.  24 GG definiert. Bei der Suche nach Spielräumen wird der verfassungsrechtliche Hintergrund ausgeleuchtet; zum anderen werden die Möglichkeiten nach dem Kreislaufwirtschaftsgesetz (KrWG) geprüft. Dabei geht es auch um die Weiterentwicklung zu einer echten Recyclingwirtschaft. Konkrete Fragen und Antworten betreffen alle zentralen Bereiche des KrWG, mithin die Abfallhierarchie, die Abfallvermeidung, die Vorbereitung zur Wiederverwendung, Recycling, sonstige Verwertung und Beseitigung. Weiterhin widmet sich der Autor sonstigen aktuellen Themen.

Das Werk richtet sich an das in Bund und Ländern tätige Publikum, dem es um die Weiterentwicklung zu einer echten Recyclingwirtschaft geht oder das den Blick auf die „checks and balances“ der Abfallpolitik im bundesstaatlichen Gefüge richtet.

Imaginierte (Vor-)Sorge
Authors: Speidel Dominik
Published: February 2025

Die Versicherungsbranche verdient ihr Geld mit der Zukunft. Ohne das Kommende, das immer kontingent ist und sich durch Ungewissheit auszeichnet, wäre ihr Nutzen obsolet. Es ist deshalb gerade die Unsicherheit der individuellen Lebensverläufe, auf dem das Geschäftsmodell der Versicherungswirtschaft basiert.

In der Praxis stellen Versicherungsunternehmen unterschiedliche Zukunftsszenarien bereit und verleihen dadurch der ungewissen Zukunft ein imaginatives Antlitz. Mittels diverser Inszenierungsstrategien setzen sie dabei vor allem auch mögliche Risiken auf die Agenda ihrer Kund*innen. In der Forschungsstudie werden nun diese diskursiven Imaginationsakte aus einer kulturwissenschaftlichen Perspektive heraus analysiert. Auf Grundlage der Auswertung von Versicherungswebsites rücken neben Textbausteinen vor allem Bilder, Metaphern, Statistiken und Grafiken in den Vordergrund der Betrachtung. Das umfassende Semantik- und Bildrepertoire der Versicherungskommunikation wird dadurch erschlossen und diskurstheoretisch eingeordnet.

La justice chez Thomas d’Aquin et Arthur Schopenhauer: une confrontation
Authors: Toua Christian Essolbo
Published: February 2025

Le paradoxe entre l’affirmation, par certains, de la tendance naturelle de l’homme à la justice et le constat, dans la vie quotidienne, des divers problèmes relatifs à la justice atteste de l’importance et de l’actualité de la question de la justice pour l’homme contemporain. Ce qui, chez ce dernier, justifie les questions de savoir ce qu’est réellement la justice, mieux, ce qu’elle devrait être ; et quelles solutions peuvent être apportées aux différents problèmes de justice qu’il rencontre.

Le présent ouvrage essaie à sa manière de répondre principalement à ces interrogations. L’auteur y parvient en mettant à contribution les théories de justice de Thomas d’Aquin et d’Arthur Schopenauer, qu’il reconstitue de facon critique et confronte.

Authors: Smith Thomas W.
Published: February 2025

This chapter presents an overview of the pathology of medulloblastoma. Historical aspects relating to the origin of medulloblastoma are briefly summarized. The current definition of medulloblastoma presented in the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System is discussed. This is followed by a description of the major gross and microscopic (histologic) features of medulloblastoma, and histologic criteria for the four major WHO subtypes. The role of immunohistochemistry in the classification of medulloblastoma is reviewed. The third part of the chapter focuses on the molecular classification of medulloblastoma as currently delineated in the 2021 WHO classification of Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors. This section presents in detail the methodology and criteria forming the basis of the molecular classification and how the different molecular groups correlate with the histologic subtypes and their immunohistochemical features. When appropriate, the clinical features relating to each molecular group are briefly discussed.
Sero-Prevalence of Dengue Virus and Factors Associated with Non-Malarias Acute Febrile Patients in Arba Minch, Southern Ethiopia
Authors: Eshetu Daniel
Published: February 2025

Dengue is a vector-borne infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted to humans by infected Aedes mosquitoes. The disease remains a significant public health problem, resulting in a high financial burden on both individuals and governments. Ethiopia has a conductive atmosphere for vectors and a high number of vector-borne diseases. Patients Serum was tested for anti-dengue IgG antibody and IgM antibody using the EUROIMMUN indirect immunofluorescent assay. In this study, 25.1% of patients were serologically positive for dengue IgG antibody. Of the 133 dengue virus-infected patients, the proportion of men was 26.9 and females 23.8%. The distribution of seropositive cases between different age groups was showed; participants greater than 60 years had more exposure to dengue virus infection (35.3%). Of all considered variables, only constitutional symptoms were significantly associated with dengue virus (AOR = 1.818, 95% CI 1.073–3.080). The high prevalence of IgM antibody detected in patient’s sera shows the possibility of active viral spread, and this calls the concerned body to active follow-up for the societies in the study site to predict and prevent the virus.

Authors: Mirza Nouman Baig Muhammad
Published: February 2025

This chapter presents the development and evaluation of an AI-based fabric width measurement system designed to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of fabric production processes. Utilizing the YOLOv5s algorithm, the system captures real-time fabric width measurements, displaying them on both an human machine interface (HMI) and a web interface. The experimental setup, which includes data labeling, epoch size, and batch size, is thoroughly detailed, demonstrating the model’s ability to achieve high precision and reliability. Performance metrics such as train/box_loss, train/obj_loss, train/cls_loss, and metrics/mAP_0.5:0.95 are analyzed to assess the system’s effectiveness. The final output confirms the model’s capability to provide accurate fabric width measurements with an impressive accuracy rate of approximately 90%. Additionally, the system’s real-time operational potential and future integration with machine PLCs for enhanced control over fabric shrinkage are discussed. This AI-based solution offers significant improvements over traditional manual measurement methods, promising advancements in quality control and operational efficiency in the textile industry.
An Insertion Procedure to Solve Hybrid Multiobjective Permutation Flowshop Scheduling Problems
Authors: Motair Hafed
Published: February 2025

This paper presents an insertion procedure (IP) that can be used to improve the performance of multiobjective scheduling problems (MOSPs) algorithms. The proposed procedure uses variable neighborhood search (VNS) combined with an insertion method, which can be adapted to any MOSP, whether heuristic or metaheuristic. The aim is to solve 2-machine permutation flowshop scheduling problem (PFSP) and minimize two objective functions simultaneously: Maximum completion time (makespan) and total completion times (∑jCj) (TCT) in order to find the efficient (non dominated) solutions. The proposed IP is combined with two algorithms from the literature, the non dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-2) and the multiobjective partial enumeration algorithm (MOPE), the objective is to explore more non dominating solution by the use of insertion concept of jobs through all possible positions of the considered sequence. To evaluate the algorithms, a large set of test instances involving up to 80 jobs was used for our investigation. We found that using the IP procedure is very useful in improving the performance of multiobjective algorithms and that the proposal was very useful in producing good solutions compared to the original algorithms, as it used to improve the performance of both MOPE and MOGA.

Published: February 2025

Due to the increase in the population and the increase in the demand for food, an attempt has been made to meet this demand by increasing the cultivation area and production per unit area, which leads to the consumption of more resources and inputs in the agricultural sector and as a result creates negative effects on the environment and human health. According to the study of the environmental effects for one ton (1000 kg) of crop production including agricultural crops (A.C) and horticultural crops (H.C), the global warming index was 598.79 (A.C) and 945.91 (H.C) kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent. The acidification potential index was 5.77 (A.C) and 8.26 (H.C) kg of sulfur dioxide (SO2) equivalent. Eutrophication potential index was 7.44 (A.C) and 8.75 (H.C) kg of nitrogen oxides (NOx) equivalent. Depletion of fossil resources was 2074.83 (A.C) and 2114.08 (H.C) megajoules (MJ). Phosphate depletion was 2.51 (A.C) and 9.30 (H.C) kg of phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) equivalent. Potassium depletion was 0.62 (A.C) and 4.41 (H.C) kg of potassium oxide (K2O) equivalent. Depletion of water resources was 2848.15 (A.C) and 5067.66 (H.C) m3. Environmental index (Eco-index) was 0.44 (A.C) and 0.6 (H.C) and finally, resource depletion index was 1.43 (A.C) and 3.38 (H.C). Environmental risk reduction methods should be included in agricultural production considerations.
Surface Layer Concrete
Authors: Yuasa Noboru
Published: February 2025

Regarding the quality of structural concrete that is demolded during hydration, the porosity is not as dense as the surface layer because hydration is inhibited by drying. As a result, the strength of the surface layer is lower than that of the inside, and external deterioration factors easily enter, resulting in a decrease in deterioration resistance. In addition, since the surface concrete serves as the substrate for finishing materials, it is associated with problems such as adhesion and blistering of the finish. This chapter describes the inhomogeneity of moisture content and pore structure of concrete from the surface to the interior, strength distribution, resistance to deterioration, and peeling resistance of finishing materials.

Published: February 2025

Centralized intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) and Security Information Event Management (SIEM) systems often fail to analyze and respond to information and cybersecurity threats that occur in distributed and heavily loaded environments due to computational, storage, and license limitations. In this chapter, we propose a novel distributed hierarchical system concept for early intrusion detection and subsequent assessment of cyber and information security risks based on anomalous behavior analysis without using predefined patterns. The developed approach aims to increase the security of distributed systems against decentralized attacks including both DDoS and non-specific, non-DDoS attacks, such as advanced persistent threats (APT) conducted by high-skilled cybercrimes and state-sponsored adversaries. We expect the proposed concept to improve the performance of SIEM systems compared to centralized solutions. The increasing productivity effectiveness indicator depends on the possible number of hierarchy levels in the analyzed systems (the possibility of their decomposition into subsystems).

The objective of this research was to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures using construction and demolition waste (CDW) as fillers for flexible pavement projects designed for light traffic. Asphalt briquettes were produced, incorporating CDW filler, and their performance was assessed in comparison with standard mixtures. The study identified the properties of CDW necessary for its use as filler, determining the optimal percentages to be incorporated into the asphalt mixtures. Mix designs were developed for both the standard sample and for mixtures containing 1, 3, 5, and 7% CDW filler. The results showed that while 1% CDW closely mirrors the properties of the standard asphalt mix and complies with the “General Technical Specifications for Construction” (2013), the optimal performance was achieved at 5% CDW, which exhibited the highest resistance and stability under load. However, not all filler percentages met the required properties for asphalt mixtures, highlighting the importance of proper dosage for effective performance. The findings suggest that incorporating CDW as filler in asphalt mixes can offer a sustainable alternative for flexible pavement construction, provided that filler proportions are carefully controlled.

Retinal diseases, often caused by the degeneration of light-sensitive cells, pose a significant global health challenge. While current treatments are limited, cell therapy, involving the transplantation of healthy cells, offers hope. Recent advancements in stem cell technology have enabled the creation of 3D retinal organoids, which closely mimic the structure and function of the human retina. These organoids provide a valuable platform for studying retinal development, modeling diseases, and testing potential therapies. By understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying eye formation and disease progression, researchers can identify and develop targeted treatments. Retinal organoids hold the promise of revolutionizing the field of regenerative medicine and vision research, offering hope for restoring vision and improving the lives of individuals affected by retinal diseases.
Critical Discourse Analysis of the UK General Practice Patient Survey: An Insight into the Crisis in General Practice
Authors: Chiok Foong Loke Jennifer , Wai Lee Kah , Anne Lee Elizabeth
Published: February 2025

General practice in the United Kingdom (UK) is not only the cornerstone of the National Health Services (NHS) but also an important building block of the NHS long-term plan. Providing free medical and public health services to all UK residents, general practice often acts as the most common entry point to the NHS. Consequently, patient experience in general practice is regularly assessed, and this is primarily through the General Practice Patient Survey (GPPS). The results of the GPPS play a key role in shaping the direction of the NHS as well as determining the survival of general practice. The general practice crisis as indicated by the GPPS along with other evaluative tools has influenced the establishment of primary care networks, to which the majority of funding has since been redirected away from individual GP service providers. Whilst the GPPS continued assessing patient experience to guide NHS strategies and determine the survival of general practice, worsening of the crisis in general practice was reported. Using Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis, we aim to uncover the relationship between the GPPS and patient experience. The analysis was conducted in an attempt to offer plausible explanations of the worsening general practice crisis in the UK.

Perspective Chapter: Debunking the Promise of Green Growth
Authors: Miranda Cunha Tenório Fernanda
Published: February 2025

Proponents of green growth argue that technological advancements and market changes can separate economic growth from its environmental impacts. However, this green growth paradigm faces several challenges and contradictions, particularly the absence of evidence for completely decoupling economic growth from environmental harm, especially in wealthy nations. While technology may help mitigate some environmental impacts, it cannot resolve the fundamental issues associated with ongoing economic expansion. Instead, a shift toward a degrowth framework is recommended, emphasizing the importance of social equity and environmental sustainability over relentless growth. By challenging the commodification of natural resources and the ethical concerns of assigning monetary values to ecosystems, there is a call to reassess economic models and commit to building a more sustainable and just future.
