This study aims to examine the probable consequences of climate change on the interrelated systems of agriculture in Romania, specifically focusing on the domain of animal husbandry. The increase in carbon and methane emissions, together with the consequent alterations in the climate system, have presented challenges in establishing and maintaining public-private partnerships within the corporate sector. The main objective of this study is to investigate the significance of collaboration between public and private entities in mitigating the effects of climate change on animal husbandry using a forward-looking methodology. From 2007 to 2020, Romania's agri-food waste management business was found to have the highest methane emissions. The mean emissions of the agri-food sector in Romania amounted to 130.46 kt, with a 4.45% increase in methane emissions seen between 2007 and 2020. The aforementioned statement underscores the necessity for partnerships between public and commercial entities in leveraging resources and technologies to advance sustainable practices and mitigate methane emissions. Promoting a sustainable agricultural framework necessitates the implementation of sustainable legislation, the adoption of suitable waste management practices, and the progression of technological developments. This paper highlights the significance of adopting a collaborative approach to attain sustainability within Romania's agricultural sector, while taking into account the obstacles presented by climate change.

Machine Learning-Driven Analysis of Sensor Data for Objective Assessment of Parkinson's Disease Motor Symptoms in Home Environments
Authors:   , Ymeri Gent
Published: November 2024

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder that signifi- cantly impacts quality of life for those who are affected. It is a rapidly growing condition affecting millions of people worldwide, where treatments focus on managing symptoms and slowing the degenerative process, as there are no validated treatments that can stop its progression or preemptively prevent it. Effective management of the disease relies on accurate and timely assessment of symptoms based on clinical ratings, traditionally performed through clinical examinations using the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS). However, in-clinic assessments are infrequent and may not capture the full spectrum of symptom fluctuations in daily life. While existing literature has focused on diagnosing PD, the current understanding falls short in terms of objectively quantifying its symptoms in daily-living conditions. Following a design science research methodology, this thesis responds to this research gap by exploring the feasibility of using smartphones to quantify PD symptoms in a real- world, at-home setting. The research presents a cross-platform mobile application de- veloped for data collection from PD patients with the aim to identify promising system components and data types for capturing PD symptoms. Using data mining and machine learning techniques, the research explores if it is feasible to estimate the MDS-UPDRS scale based on objective measurements from smartphone-collected data. Additionally, it investigates the usability of the proposed mobile application for PD patients. By de- veloping and validating a cross-platform mobile application for symptom capturing, this thesis contributes both in terms of research results communicated in the associated peer- reviewed papers, and by providing an open source based app which makes PD symptom assessments more accessible, objective, and patient-centric.

Published: November 2024

Objective: Observe the existence of a relationship between quality certification, financial performance and bankruptcy prediction, as well as the supposed superiority of the quality certified Portuguese large companies.
 
Theoretical Reference: In the continuous pursuit for quality, as well as its certification, the International Standard Organization (ISO), suggests, from a theoretical perspective, a possible relationship of the last one with the going concern, contributing to the companies’ economic and financial sustainability.
 
Method: We selected Portuguese large companies (according to recommendation 2003/361/EC) with Economic Activity Codes (NACE) D and G, certified with ISO 9000 or 9001, totalling 91 companies, along with computed average company from each of these sectors. We used univariate and multivariate techniques (MDA), models of business failure prediction, considered in previous studies as the most effective for the Iberian economy (Peres and Antão, 2018; Peres and Antão, 2019), aiming to assess the companies’ performance, as well as the supposed superiority of those quality certified companies.
 
Results and Discussion: In neither of the analysis, univariate and multivariate, was observed a superior performance of the certified companies compared to others, indicating that quality certification is not effectively related to the companies’ economic and financial performance optimization.
 
Implications of the Research: Uncover the influence of quality certification on the economic-financial position of companies, allowing for deeper investigation into bankruptcy, sustainability and value creation.

Published: November 2024

This literature review article is dedicated to the in-depth investigation of integrating indigenous knowledge (IK) within Grade 7 natural science (NS) education. It seeks to understand and shed light on the evolving teaching practices that underpin the increasing adoption of IK within the framework of NS teaching. The study’s approach is firmly rooted in the principles of social constructivist theory, with a laser-like focus on several critical elements, including teacher topic knowledge, teaching tactics, classroom interactions, and discourse dynamics. Central to this research are pivotal questions that delve into the core of IK integration in Grade 7 NS classrooms. These questions revolve around the methods employed by Grade 7 NS teachers to incorporate IK, the depth of their comprehension regarding IK, how they bridge IK with the concepts outlined in the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) for NS, and the diverse strategies they employ to convey IK to their Grade 7 learners effectively. The study’s significance is twofold. First, it can provide valuable lessons for educators to integrate IK into Grade 7 NS seamlessly. Second, it can potentially influence the Department of Basic Education (DBE) in developing vital teaching resources and nurturing the integration of IK across educational institutions. This research aims to enrich education and promote respect for indigenous perspectives.

Objetivo: Analisar o impacto da pandemia da Covid-19 nos atendimentos de urgência e o perfil dos pacientes atendidos em um Centro de Especialidades Odontológicas do Ceará. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, observacional e de série temporal com marco nas ondas da pandemia da Covid-19, utilizando os registros do livro de urgência de um Centro de Especialidades Odontológicas do Ceará. Resultados: Foram identificados 15.298 atendimentos de urgência em 29 meses, perfazendo uma média mensal de 527±95 atendimentos entre 2019 e 2021. Observou-se um impacto na quantidade de atendimentos, com redução entre a primeira e segunda onda da Covid-19. Houve mais atendimentos em pacientes do sexo feminino (n=8.285; 54,1%) e na faixa etária de 18 a 59 anos (86,4%). Um total de 2.308 (15%) tinha doença sistêmica, sendo a maioria doenças cardiovasculares (n=1.141; 61,3%). A dor de origem dentária foi a queixa principal mais recorrente (n=6.904; 83,6%) e a maioria dos atendimentos teve como motivo alvo da consulta de urgência pelo menos um elemento dentário (n=9.904; 89,4%). Conclusão: A Covid-19 impactou de forma pontual, durante alguns meses, o serviço de urgência, incorrendo em uma tendência decrescente na quantidade de atendimentos ao longo do período estudado.
External validation of a quantitative model to guide patient selection for placement of an optional or permanent inferior vena ca va filter

Published: November 2024

Objectives:

The objective of this study was to validate a previously published quantitative model that predicts the likelihood of an optional inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) being kept as a permanent device in a different patient population.

Material and Methods:

An institutional database of IVCF patients from 2016 to 2018 was reviewed. As in the published reference, if a retrieval was attempted, the IVCF was categorized as “removed;” if no attempt was performed, the filter was categorized as “kept permanent.” Patient parameters, such as age, sex, history of venous thromboembolism, presence of neurologic disease, presence of malignancy, as well as indications for IVCF placement were analyzed. The previously published formula was applied to analyze its ability to predict the likelihood of an optional IVCF being kept permanently in a new, external population.

Results:

A total of 270 patients were identified. Seventy-one filters were “removed” and 199 were “kept permanent.” Advanced age (odds ratio [OR] 1.05; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03–1.07) and presence of malignancy (OR 2.55; 95% CI 1.29–5.07) were the factors associated with the IVCF being “kept permanent” versus “removed.” None of the other parameters was statistically significant. The receiver operating characteristic curve yielded the area under the curve of 0.66, compared to the previously published value of 0.8. The sensitivity and specificity of the model were 64.3% and 62.0%, respectively.

Conclusion:

Advanced age and presence of malignancy were associated with optional IVCFs being kept as permanent devices. However, the previously published formula did not yield an accurate quantitative prediction in this external patient population.
Trend of immunization & gap in vaccine doses as observed in National Family Health Survey rounds in India
Authors: Kalia Meenu , Sharma Megha , Rohilla Ravi , Rana Kirtan
Published: November 2024

Background & objectives

Immunization is an efficient and cost-effective way of lowering the infectious disease related morbidity and mortality in the community. The current study reviewed the trend of immunization, gaps in doses of vaccine given at the same time and gaps between the doses of same vaccine from National Family Health Survey (NFHS 1-5) rounds.

Methods

The current study extracted data from all five NFHS rounds conducted from 1992-93 to 2019-21. The study analyzed the State-wise and demography-wise distribution of trends of immunization from NFHS-1 to NFHS-5. State wise distribution of change in vaccination coverage between NFHS-4 and 5 was analyzed. The study also assessed the State-wise trends of fully vaccinated and unvaccinated children from NFHS 1-5.

Results

The northeastern States had maximum gap between the vaccination given at birth i.e., 47.3 per cent between BCG and Hepatitis B, and 32.8 per cent between BCG and birth dose of OPV in Manipur in NFHS -5. A gradual rise in the percentage of male (40.2%) and female (41.9%) childrens’ vaccination was found across the NFHS rounds with reduction in gap between the male and female vaccination from NFHS-1 (2.6%) to NFHS-5 (0.9%). The percentage of vaccination decreased proportionately with birth order. The vaccination coverage has increased in both urban and rural population, but the rise was higher in rural (45.9%) areas than urban (24.8%). An increase in percentage of fully vaccinated children by 41.2 per cent and decrease in percentage of non-vaccinated children by 26.4 per cent was observed from NFHS-1 to NFHS-5.

Interpretation & conclusions

Our analysis clearly suggests that immunization coverage has improved over a period of time but the variability in vaccine coverage across States and gap in vaccine doses needs attention of the policy makers to cover this for achieving our national immunization goals.
Transarterial embolization of intralobar pulmonary sequestration in adult patients: A case series
Authors: Benson Andrea , Perry Yaron , Cantos Andrew , Butani Devang , Chengazi Harris
Published: November 2024

Pulmonary sequestration is a malformation of lung tissue such that a zone of pulmonary parenchyma exists in isolation from the bronchopulmonary tree. This condition is typically treated with surgical resection, but an increasing number of sequestrations are being treated with arterial embolization. We report interventions that were performed at two institutions on patients 53–70 years old. One patient presented with chronic cough and the two other patients presented with hemoptysis. Two of the cases were managed solely by endovascular embolization of the arteries supplying the pulmonary sequestration. In one patient, embolization was performed to debulk the sequestration, followed by surgical resection. These cases suggest transcatheter embolization may be an effective treatment in adult patients with symptomatic pulmonary sequestrations.
