Published: October 2024

Despite efforts by the Algerian government and civil society to improve road safety, traffic accidents remain a significant issue, particularly affecting children and youth. Data from the National Delegation for Road Safety (NDSR) reveals that this demographic is especially vulnerable, with 371 child fatalities recorded during the 2020-2021 school year. This study evaluated road safety around twelve primary schools in Oued El Abtal district, Mascara province, and aimed to identify effective interventions through a participatory approach involving 1,074 students. An anonymous questionnaire was used to capture students' perceptions of road risks, and the data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics V27. Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests were applied to examine associations between gender and variables like travel mode, school accompaniment, student behavior, and crossing locations. The sample was balanced by gender, consisting of 50.9% boys and 49.1% girls. Walking was the predominant travel mode (75.2%; n=808). Key risk factors included inadequate infrastructure (3.2%), insufficient signage (11.7%), sidewalk obstructions (5.1%), dangerous driving behaviors (12.2%, with speeding at 29.5%), heavy traffic (16.2%), and poor urban planning (e.g., lack of speed bumps and low visibility). These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions to improve the safety of school commutes. This research identifies critical risk factors in school travel, providing a foundation for developing strategies aimed at enhancing road safety for children in Algeria.

Published: October 2024

O diabetes mellitus (DM) se caracteriza por hiperglicemia e desequilíbrios metabólicos. Os dois tipos principais, DM Tipo I e II, estão associados a complicações cardiovasculares. O controle eficaz inclui alimentação balanceada, atividade física e medicamentos. A terapia nutricional é essencial no manejo, com menos efeitos colaterais do que os tratamentos farmacológicos. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi analisar a importância da terapia nutricional no tratamento do DM1 e DM2. A metodologia se baseou em uma pesquisa de revisão bibliográfica de natureza exploratória com abordagem de revisão de literatura. A terapia nutricional é fundamental no tratamento do diabetes Mellitus (DM), pois auxilia no controle glicêmico e na prevenção de complicações. Ao fornecer uma alimentação balanceada e adequada em calorias e nutrientes, ela promove o equilíbrio metabólico, melhora a sensibilidade à insulina e pode diminuir a necessidade de medicamentos. Essa abordagem personalizada é essencial para controlar o peso e reduzir a hemoglobina glicada. A terapia nutricional é, portanto, crucial para o manejo eficaz do DM, com impacto positivo na qualidade de vida dos pacientes.

Published: October 2024

O aumento da longevidade entre as mulheres é notável, uma vez que, em 2022, elas representavam 55,7% da população com 65 anos ou mais. Este prolongamento da vida, no entanto, traz desafios à saúde, particularmente durante o climatério e a menopausa. Os sintomas comuns da menopausa incluem ondas de calor, suores noturnos, distúrbios do sono, cansaço, alterações no peso e na pele, e problemas emocionais, todos influenciados por fatores hormonais, estresse oxidativo e alterações na microbiota intestinal, além disso é identificado um aumento no risco de doenças cardiovasculares, osteoporose e declínio cognitivo. O estudo propõe explorar como a nutrição pode aliviar os impactos do climatério e menopausa. Para isso, foram examinados artigos e livros concernentes ao tema, utilizando base de dados como Google Acadêmico, Scielo e PubMed. Nesta revisão foi analisado como uma alimentação equilibrada, rica em fibras, vitaminas, compostos bioativos, minerais, pode aliviar os sintomas do climatério e menopausa e doenças crônicas associadas a essa transição. Estilos de vida saudáveis, incluindo a dieta balanceada, são essenciais para melhorar o bem-estar feminino durante esse período.

Authors: Yang Fan
Published: October 2024

Under the background of the digital economy, the research on the optimization path of strategic cost management for enterprises is particularly important. This paper discusses key paths such as data-driven cost management systems, intelligent cost control, and collaborative cost management, revealing the profound impact of the digital economy on corporate cost management and proposing a series of optimization strategies. The data-driven cost management system requires enterprises to establish comprehensive data collection and analysis mechanisms, using big data and advanced analytical tools to achieve real-time monitoring and dynamic analysis of costs. This not only improves the accuracy of cost management but also enhances the enterprise's ability to respond to market changes. Secondly, the implementation of intelligent cost control, through automated and predictive cost management, enables enterprises to more effectively control and predict cost changes, thereby improving the efficiency of resource allocation and the quality of cost management decisions. Furthermore, the development of collaborative cost management emphasizes the synergy between internal departments of enterprises and with external partners. By breaking down information silos and promoting resource sharing and business collaboration, enterprises can achieve cost optimization throughout the entire value chain.

Comparative evaluation of hepatosteatosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using non-contrast abdominal CT and laboratory findings
Authors: Coşgun Zeliha , Kalfaoğlu Melike Elif
Published: October 2024

Aim: This study aims to underscore the significance of employing multiple parameters from non-contrast abdominal CT scans for the assessment of hepatosteatosis in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Methods: Non-enhanced Computed Tomography of the diabetic subjects were analyzed. Control subjects were selected from non-diabetic patients who had undergone abdominal tomography within the same period. The craniocaudal length of the liver and liver, spleen, pancreas densities, and epicardial adipose tissue were measured. Additionally, patient demographics and laboratory values were retrospectively obtained.
Results: The craniocaudal length of the liver was significantly greater in the diabetes mellitus group compared to the control group (168.3 ± 17.2 mm vs 152.3 ± 14.8 mm, p < 0.001). Hepatosteatosis was observed in 22 individuals with diabetes mellitus, whereas only one participant in the control group had this condition (p < 0.001). The diabetes mellitus group exhibited significantly lower median liver density (p < 0.001), liver-spleen density ratio (p = 0.004), pancreatic head density (p = 0.001), and pancreatic body density (p = 0.013). Additionally, the average thickness of epicardial adipose tissue was markedly higher in the diabetes mellitus group compared to the control group (8.1 ± 1.9 mm vs 4.9 ± 1.1 mm, p < 0.001).
Conclusions: These data indicate an association between hepatosteatosis and increased epicardial adipose tissue thickness, liver and pancreatic densities in individuals with diabetes mellitus. These findings suggest that non-contrast abdominal CT findings such as epicardial adipose tissue thickness and relevant laboratory tests may aid in evaluating metabolic disorders and fat accumulation in diabetic patients.

Authors: Alua M. , Askar K.K.
Published: October 2024

Technology is becoming vital in improving diagnostic accuracy in modern medical field. The diagnostic process, like a production chain, consists of databases (resourc-es), the diagnostic activities (production), and the ultimate diagnosis (outcome). However, the intricacy of medical diagnostics has evolved due to the swift proliferation of medical knowledge and immense amount of patient data. Physicians encounter the complexity of handling huge volumes of clinical data,. To address these issues, the work examines the use of automated diagnostic systems supported by sophisticated mathematical models. The aim of the project is to investigate novel mathematical methods for disease detection and predic-tion, with a specific emphasis on fuzzy set theory. Particularly when dealing with imprecise or confusing initial data, such as medical histories and laboratory results, these techniques are indispensable. The authors investigate the function of expert systems and machine learning in the diagnosis of diseases such as gallstone formation and the detection of the diseases like sclerosis using medical imaging algorithms. These systems are specifically developed to as-sist medical professionals in making sound judgments, thereby presenting a very promising prospect for medical diagnostics through the integration of knowledge from several academic fields. The use of such technology will enhance clinical procedures, optimizing both the pre-cision and effectiveness of diagnoses while increasing healthcare accessibility .

Cilj ovog rada bio je pregled istraživanja koja se bave procjenom i značajem mišićne mase kod djece rane i predškolske dobi. Za potrebe ovog istraživanja primijenjena je metoda analize sadržaja. Elektronička pretraga literature uključila je relevantne članke na engleskom jeziku koji su objavljeni do 20. svibnja 2024. godine u bazi podataka PUBMED. Pretraga se bazirala na ključnim riječima: muscle mass in preschool children, periodu od 2000.-2024. i radovima koji su cjelovito dostupni. Podaci su obrađeni u program Microsoft Excel (Office, 2019) te su prikazani u obliku tablica i grafikona. Pronađeno je ukupno 36 radova koji su odgovarali kriterijima. Rezultati su pokazali da je broj istraživanja o procjeni dječje mišićne mase u porastu posljednjih pet godina posebno u području zdravstvenih poteškoća. Primjetno i da se s godinama povećala raznolikost metoda za procjenu mišićne mase. Mišićni sustav omogućava kretanje, što je čovjekova osnovna biotička potreba, stoga je značaj mišićne mase od neizmjerne važnosti tijekom cijelog životnog vijeka.
Završni dio sata: vježbe disanja i relaksacije
Authors: Stojević Katarina , Suden Iva
Published: October 2024

Veliki broj djece i mladih svakodnevno se suočava sa stresnim situacijama i sve se teže nose s njima. Stoga su potrebe na razini škola za sveobuhvatnim pristupom smanjenju stresa odnosno metodama za suočavanje s istim sve veće. Sama nastava Tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture (TZK) kao sinonim za tjelesnu aktivnost pozitivno utječe na razvoj djece i mladih, no u jednom svome dijelu pruža i prostor za relaksaciju i opuštanje kako bi učenici naučili smanjiti napetosti uzrokovane svakodnevnim stresnim situacijama. Završni dio sata idealan je za provedbu vježbi disanja i relaksacije kao odličan način smanjenja tih napetosti. U Školi za primijenjenu umjetnost u Rijeci provedena je, kroz sadržaje završnog dijela sata, edukacija djece odnosno mladih o takvoj vrsti vježbi te benefitima koje one pružaju . Nakon edukacije učenici su ispunili anketu o provedenim vježbama kako bi dobili uvid o njihovom zadovoljstvu provedenim te spremnosti da stečena znanja primjenjuju u budućnosti. Na provedene vježbe koje su jednom dijelu učenika i od prije poznate, reagirali su pozitivno i iskazali želju da ovakvi sadržaji nađu mjesto u nastavnom procesu. Nažalost nisu prepoznali važnost sustavnog vježbanja odnosno vježbanja izvan nastave TZK.
Pouzdanost i valjanost testova za mjerenje agilnosti u nastavi tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture
Authors: Sinković Filip , Hrg Krešimir , Novak Dario
Published: October 2024

Praćenje i vrednovanje agilnosti kod djece školske dobi pruža vrijedne uvide u razvoj njihovih motoričkih vještina. To naglašava važnost razumijevanja teorije mjerenja, kao i dva najvažnija kriterija za procjenu kvalitete: pouzdanost i valjanost. U skladu s time, cilj ovog rada je napraviti sustavan pregled literature kako bi se utvrdilo koji su testovi agilnosti najprikladniji za korištenje u nastavi tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture u osnovnim i srednjim školama. Analiza metrijskih karakteristika bazirala se na već standardnim i poznatim mjernim instrumentima kao što su Illinois test agilnosti, Pro-Agility test (5-10-5), T-Test agilnosti, 5-0-5 test agilnosti, ali i Test prenošenje pretrčavanjem, koji je dio CROFIT normi i već je godinama dio nastave tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture u Republici Hrvatskoj. Na temelju analize, odmah je vidljivo kako svi navedeni testovi imaju visoku pouzdanost i valjanost te su kao takvi primjenjivi u nastavi TZK, no ipak su nešto značajnije vrijednosti dobivene kod testova T-Test agilnosti i Illinois Test agilnosti, dok Pro-Agility Test (5-10-5), 5-0-5 Test i Test prenošenja pretrčavanjem imaju nešto veću varijabilnost u rezultatima. Ovi podaci mogu poslužiti kao temelj za daljnja istraživanja i razvoj novih mjernih instrumenata prilagođenih specifičnim potrebama populacije. Također, na temelju ovih podataka, nastavnici tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture mogu bolje odabrati odgovarajuće testove za procjenu i poboljšanje agilnosti kod djece.
Utjecaj radnog staža odgojitelja na provođenje tjelesnih aktivnosti s djecom
Authors: Marić Željana , Perić Ana
Published: October 2024

Kako bi se uklonile ili ublažile posljedice današnjeg stila života potrebno je sve više tjelesno se aktivirati već od najmlađe dobi. Za postizanje toga potrebno je osigurati adekvatan broj sati tjelesnog vježbanja u cijeloj vertikali odgojno obrazovnog sustava. Iako se većina odgojitelja slaže s važnosti provođenja kineziološke kulture rezultati pokazuju nižu procjenu provedbe, uglavnom zbog okolinskih faktora, najčešće materijalnih uvjeta rada. Loši materijalni uvjeti rada mogu znatno otežavati organizaciju i provođenje tjelesnih aktivnosti u predškolskim ustanovama, no usprkos lošim uvjetima stavovi i motiviranost odgojitelja su ključni za njihovu provedbu. U ovom radu provedena je analiza odgovora odgojitelja o boravku djece i poticanju na igru na vanjskom prostoru te organiziranju tjelesnih aktivnosti s djecom. S obzirom da je motivacija ključna za provedbu nastojalo se doznati postoji li povezanost između provedbe tjelesnih aktivnosti i radnog staža odgojitelja. Pretpostavilo se da su odgojitelji s manje radnog iskustva mlađi i motiviraniji za rad pogotovo u segmentu provođenja tjelesnih aktivnosti, međutim rezultati su pokazali da odgojitelji s više radnog iskustva dnevno više borave s djecom na vanjskom prostoru te da su više puta tjedno provodili organizirane tjelesne aktivnosti s djecom u usporedbi s odgojiteljima koji imaju manje godina radnog iskustva.
Hybrid Yield curves modeling in WAEMU Zone
Authors: MOHAMED LAMINE MBENGUE  , BABACAR SENE  , MAME ABDOU DIOP  , MODOU DIENG
Published: October 2024

In the WAEMU zone (West African Economic and Monetary Union.), the development of the financial market is hampered by uncertainties related to information asymmetries. In order to reduce them, this study proposes a quantitative model for evaluating the hybrid zero-coupon (ZC) yield curve, which takes into account investors’ perception of risk. This innovative approach is based on the model of the risk-free rate curve, as well as the model of decomposition of the term structure of risk premia, which results in the explicit formulation of the term structures of credit risk and liquidity premiums and the anticipated recovery rate by the financial market in the event of issuer default. Over the period 2019-2023, the empirical application reveals that the hybrid ZC yield curve is sensitive to monetary policy decisions, as well as to the parameters of the risk-free yield curve. Moreover, the term structure of the risk premiums becomes stable when it is estimated by a hybrid model, composed of three extreme probability distributions, namely the Weibull-Gumbel models for interpolation and Log-Normal for extrapolation.

Introduction

 
Water quality monitoring plays a key role in promoting environmental sustainability. Water is a vital resource for life and its availability and quality are intrinsically linked to human well-being and health. Through constant monitoring, it is possible to identify and mitigate pollutants, the Aqua project proposes to present a solution for evaluating and monitoring water quality, using a cell phone application and a very low-cost kit, integrating everything into an online platform. line with the aim of establishing a participatory monitoring network for rivers and water bodies.

Results and Discussion

 
The initial version of the Aqua1,2 project application, which is capable of determining: nitrite, organic matter, ortho-phosphate, ammonia and iron, all contaminants of water bodies3, stored the information only on the cell phone itself, and the georeferencing was done in a manual, where the operator himself had to manually record where the sample was taken. Furthermore, it was not available on Google Play, which made it difficult for less skilled people to install it.
The application was rewritten, and is no longer local, running exclusively on the cell phone and was migrated to the cloud, now the data is also stored in a public database, where other researchers, or interested entities can have access, the account is no longer be local and is now stored on the internet, georeferencing is also now more accurate, as the application reads the location through the phone's own GPS system, and installation can be done via Google Play, removing one of the difficulties for use of the application.
 

Conclusions

 
With these modifications, the objective of participatory monitoring has now become easier to achieve, as the data of all users can be accessed via the internet, they have become more secure as they are no longer on the device, and the location of the sample location has become much easier. more accurate, in addition to allowing data integration.

Published: October 2024

As instituições são estruturas construídas e mantidas por meio de interações sociais para criar e reproduzir significados. Tais construções não ocorrem de forma homogênea entre os grupos sociais, o que faz com que existam diferentes subuniversos de significação. Considerando que o discurso funciona como um mecanismo de manutenção desses subuniversos, este estudo objetiva discutir sobre a limitação do acesso à informação como um fator para a reprodução dos subuniversos simbólicos no ciberespaço. Utiliza-se as teorias do “filtro-bolha” e da “câmara de eco” para explicar como o modelo de acesso e distribuição das informações no meio digital contribui para a polarização de opiniões, uma vez que a exposição seletiva à informação leva os indivíduos a consumirem primordialmente conteúdos condizentes com concepções preexistentes. Como uma parte relevante das interações sociais no mundo atual ocorrem no ambiente online, essa conjuntura apresenta um potencial efeito nocivo para a sociedade. A ampliação do acesso à internet facilitou e expandiu a oferta de portais para se informar e se relacionar com outros indivíduos. Porém, na contramão de estimular a comunicação entre pessoas de diferentes subuniversos, esse novo cenário diminuiu a exposição a diferentes opiniões e crenças.
English Language Anxiety in Higher Education: A Case Study of Spanish Students
Authors: Céleste Sokeng Piewo Stéphane , Nsirim Manfred Njolaï
Published: October 2024

This article examines the anxiety of French-speaking students in the Spanish Department at the University of Yaoundé I (Cameroon) while learning English. We used quantitative and qualitative methods. The theoretical framework adopted for this study is the Affective Filter Hypothesis developed by Krashen (2009). The results showed that anxiety is a barrier that negatively affects the learning of English by French-speaking students. Several factors were found to be at the root of this anxiety: language typology, language level, the influence of French, personality, the reactions of others, and beliefs. We also found that students were anxious about learning Spanish, but this anxiety affected them positively. The paper suggests that learners should be in permanent contact with the English language, teachers and students should develop language tolerance by focusing on the message, not the language form, and teachers should include digital technologies to lower anxiety.

Authors: Panchbhai Prabodh , Bara Dr. Anabel Benjamin
Published: October 2024

The pharmaceutical industry plays a vital role in the healthcare sector, particularly in medication development and distribution to deal with many chronic diseases. Since chronic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and respiratory diseases keep increasing around the globe, there is a huge need for effective pharmaceutical retail marketing, not only creating awareness but also creating access to essential medicinal drugs for the patient. Chronic conditions are quite different from acute conditions, mainly because the disease process is more continuous than discontinuous. Much more extended relationships with the healthcare providers are needed for chronic conditions, and equally, extended relationships with patients are needed to ensure continued management of diseases. In retail marketing strategy, therefore, acquiring appropriate consciousness among patients about their treatment choices, ensuring easy access to the drugs, and following the course of treatment prescribed are thus crucial.

Published: October 2024

Chronic liver disease constitutes a global health issue owning to their widespread prevalence and the scarcity of effective curative treatments. They are arising from various causes, both infectious and non-infectious diseases. A rapidly evolving field of interest is the use of nanoparticle (NP) systems for the safe administration of different medications and nucleic acid for the treatment of chronic liver disorder. The review examines the pathophysiology, diagnosis and new developments in nanoparticulate systems for the treatment of liver fibrosis related chronic liver disorder. Hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation is thought to be the primary cause of liver fibrosis. Because of their unique abilities to transfer medications and other therapeutics moieties, liposomes, nanoparticulate systems have all been extensively researched. Currently, nanoparticle technology is used for liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis can be caused by alcoholism, hepatitis viruses, genetic disorders, steatohepatitis, autoimmune, and other non-infectious conditions including fatty liver. Advanced liver fibrosis, or cirrhosis, is defined by the formation of nodules of regenerated hepatocytes after a fibrous scar caused by the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins disrupts the architecture of the liver.

Mapping the Spread of NewSpace Companies Developing, Testing, Producing or Marketing Missile-related Technology: A Pilot Study
Authors: Brockmann Kolja , Héau Lauriane
Published: October 2024

The growth of the NewSpace sector over the past 20 years has resulted in the creation of many NewSpace companies developing, testing, producing or marketing missile-related technology, both in partners of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) and non-partners. NewSpace is changing the nature of the space industry, exacerbating missile proliferation risks and posing challenges for the effective implementation of export controls. A SIPRI pilot study has mapped the missile-related NewSpace industry of 84 selected states, including MTCR partners, adherents and non-participating states. Over half of the adherents and non-participating states have established NewSpace companies that are developing, testing, producing or marketing missile-related technology in their domestic industry, and eight of them also have active small- and micro-launcher projects. The spread of missile-related technology through the NewSpace industry is an increasingly important factor for the MTCR and other missile non-proliferation instruments when considering expanding membership and targeting outreach. This SIPRI Fact Sheet provides a summary of the results of the pilot study and outlines policy recommendations to the MTCR partners. The full results of the pilot study are also available in a SIPRI Report, see Brockmann, K., and Héau, L., The Expansion of the NewSpace Industry and Missile Technology Proliferation Risks (SIPRI, Stockholm, Oct. 2024).
THE USE OF ETHNOGRAPHIC PARADIGM IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH MATERIALS
Authors: Artyukhin Valeriy
Published: October 2024

In this work, the author made an attempt to adapt the methods of collecting, storing and processing information when conducting a qualitative research (ethnography) to conduct and formulate a quantitative research. The relevance of the work is due to the need for continuous improvement of research methods, taking into account the possibility of convergence of research methods from various scientific fields. The aim of the work is to pose questions to the content of reporting materials that are deeply worked out in the course of qualitative research and the presentation of the results of such, but at the same time receive insufficient attention (in the author's opinion) of researchers when working in the framework of quantitative research. The main task was to determine common points in the development of ethnography (as a finished work) and the development of reporting material on abstract quantitative research. The model proposed by the authors R. M. Emerson, R. I. Fretz and L. L. Shaw is considered as the basic initial qualitative model. This model covers the entire process of ethnographic research: both field and desk components. The author of this work has studied a large array of materials in the field of qualitative research, in particular, qualitative methods of data analysis. The result of the work can be considered recommendations for filling the reporting materials of quantitative research, which are given in the text of the article with explanations on their meaning and the benefits that they can bring to authors and readers.
