Published: June 2024

Toxicity of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and their binary mixtures were evaluated based on the growth (OD610) inhibition of Micractinum pusillum. The responses of the organism to the toxicity of Pb2+, Cd2+, Co2+ and Ni2+ showed a dose-dependent inhibition to the microbial growth while Zn2+ , SDS and CPC showed hormetic curves which were characterized by stimulation of growth at low concentrations and toxicity at high concentrations. Zinc showed hormetic effect up to 1.0 mM while SDS showed hormetic effect at concentrations up to 2.5 mM. Relatively, CPC among other toxicants exhibited greater stimulatory effect on the growth of the alga at concentration up to 8.0 mM. At doses above the stimulatory range, the toxicants progressively inhibited the growth of the organism. The EC50 values were evaluated using monotonic and hormetic dose-response models. The EC50 of the toxicants ranged from 0.12±0.05 to 11.88±1.60 mM. Statistically, the results obtained from the Tukey HSD POSTHOC test showed that the EC50 values of the toxicants were significantly different (P<0.05) and the order of decreasing toxicity is Co2+>Pb2+>Ni2+>Cd2+>Zn2+>SDS>CPC. The results of the joint effect of the mixtures on the growth of the test organism indicated additive, antagonistic and synergistic interactions for the mixtures analyzed. The chemicals may accumulate in the biota and get bio-magnified in the food chain, ultimately affecting man. Therefore, the results have the potential to inform decision-making processes related to environmental protection, chemical management, and public health.

Authors: Ekene Agigwom Ebisi  , Yonsheng Guo  , Zahoor Ahmed Soomro
Published: June 2024

The United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, both adopted in 2015, provide a global framework for addressing climate change. The oil and gas industry is a significant contributor to climate change, responsible for 10% of human-generated GHG emissions, with its products adding an additional 33%, totaling two-thirds of industrial emissions. Despite global sustainability efforts, there is a significant research gap in understanding the determinants of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in developing economies. This review addresses this gap by focusing on the Nigerian oil and gas industry, aiming to identify the factors influencing CSR practices in the industry and how they shape CSR strategies. Using a systematic review methodology guided by the PRISMA framework, this review consolidated evidence from peer-reviewed articles published between 2016 and 2023. The review focused on studies conducted in Nigeria's oil and gas sector addressing CSR determinants. Through thematic synthesis, the review categorises determinants into themes such as provision of public goods, business continuity strategies, corporate reputation, conflict mitigation, and corporate philanthropy. The review finds that CSR practices in Nigeria's oil and gas industry are primarily driven by business continuity and legitimacy concerns, with factors like governance failures, economic underperformance, and the need for social licence to operate being significant drivers. Understanding these determinants is crucial for developing effective CSR practices that align with business objectives, community development goals, and environmental sustainability. This review also highlights the need for more targeted research to improve CSR outcomes in developing economies.

Those living with individuals with depression often have an important role to play in providing care to a family member. This can impose stress and burden on the caregiver. Despite an abundance of research focusing on individuals with depression, there is little research available in the literature on individuals living with a person with depression. The purpose of the current study was to explore the lived experiences of these individuals. A qualitative design using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was employed to address this area of inquiry. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with five individuals living with a person with depression who were recruited using purposive sampling. Three superordinate themes with several subordinate themes were identified from the collected data. The superordinate themes where: 1) the change in perspectives about depression and the person with depression; 2) the impact on personal, social, and professional lives; 3) coping strategies and resilience. These findings underpin how living with a person with depression can significantly impact personal relationships and daily lives of those around them and the range of emotional and social challenges faced by family members. Caregivers must develop strategies to cope and find inner resilience. This study contributes a richer understanding of the perspectives of caregivers and identifies a need for proper widespread support. Future research could aim to develop tailored interventions that address the challenges faced by caregivers of people with depression.

Introduction: Superficial corneal foreign bodies represent a frequent reason for consultation in ophthalmological emergencies and are a cause of unilateral visual impairment. The aim of our work is to study the epidemiologist of the occurrence of ocular trauma of the anterior segment and highlight the potential risk incurred by manual workers. Material and methods: This is a descriptive and prospective study, carried out from September 2021 to December 2021, in the ophthalmological emergencies department of the hospital 20 August 1953 in Casablanca. The inclusion criteria were corneal foreign bodies occurring at the workplace. Results: Our study involved 90 patients, averaging 31.8 years old (ranging from 20 to 64 years), predominantly male. The metallurgical industry represented 62.2% of cases in the professional sector. Issues regarding protective measures were notable, with 60% reporting unused protective gear, 30% using inadequate protection, and 10% lacking access to protective equipment. Foreign bodies were found in paraaxial locations in 60% of cases, axial in 20%, peripheral in 20%, and limbic in 10%. Metallic foreign bodies accounted for 65.5% of cases, while non-metallic ones accounted for 34.5%. Complications included corneal opacity in 30% of cases, corneal wounds or scalp in 11%, corneal abscesses in 5%, cataracts in 6%, and endophthalmitis in 3% of cases. Discussion: Foreign bodies in the anterior segment are common. Speed and point of entry determine the site at which a foreign body comes to rest. The non-metallic foreign bodies generally have a lower velocity than metallic foreign bodies and once they have penetrated the cornea, tend to remain in the anterior segment. Conclusion: Superficial corneal foreign bodies are a significant cause of vision loss and blindness. The use of appropriate protective eyewear is an excellent means of protection which is simple and effective, hence the need for good awareness in workplaces at risk.

Metropolitan cities worldwide face severe traffic congestion due to a significant increase in vehicles, despite inadequate road infrastructure. Conventional traffic signaling systems, relying on manual or time-based control, are inefficient and lack real-time data, leading to delayed emergency response times, fuel waste, and health issues. To address this, a smart traffic management system is proposed, utilizing real-time data from sensors or Google Maps to optimize traffic light control at junctions. This system aims to efficiently manage signaled intersections, leveraging IoT technology and comparative data analysis to develop an algorithm that adapts to dynamic traffic conditions. This approach offers opportunities for advancements in traffic management, detection technology, and flexible optimization techniques through automated learning.

Published: June 2024

Study design: Retrospective cohort study. Objective: To reassess the necessity of fusion in the surgical management of recurrent lumbar disc herniation (rLDH). Introduction: Recurrent lumbar disc herniation (rLDH) is a challenging condition that often necessitates surgical intervention. The optimal surgical approach for patients with rLDH remains controversial, particularly in cases requiring repeat surgical procedures. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of surgical management in patients who underwent hernia excision without or with spinal fusion. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 95 patients who underwent surgery for rLDH, divided into two groups: Group A without fusion and Group B with fusion. The follow-up period ranged from two to three years. Hernia excision without fusion was performed on 77 patients (81.05%), while 18 patients (18.95%) underwent hernia excision with spinal fusion. Results: Both surgical methods, with or without fusion, achieved positive clinical outcomes and demonstrated acceptable improvements in both groups. However, there was a relative preference for spinal fusion. This study provides valuable insights into the development of a unified treatment protocol and systematic method for postoperative follow-up of patients with recurrent lumbar disc prolapse. Conclusion: Although the Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores appear similar in both groups, fusion prevents new recurrence and results in fewer complications. Therefore, fusion may be the preferred treatment option for patients with recurrent lumbar disc prolapses requiring surgical intervention.

Published: June 2024

Research with the title "Optimizing the general cargo loading process to support efficiency on the MV Hanglima ship". Optimizing general cargo loading is very vital because more optimal loading will make MV Hanglima more able to compete with other ships or companies. This research aims to determine the factors that are obstacles that reduce efficiency in loading and to determine efforts to handle obstacles that occur when loading general cargo on the MV Hanglima. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method by using 5 data collection techniques including data from the prala location, namely the MV Hanglima ship. The theoretical basis used is a theory that includes 5 loading principles. And it was concluded that the loading of general cargo on the first trip on the MV Hanglima was less efficient, such as not paying enough attention to the stowage plan that had been made, which resulted in less systematic loading and broken stowage. Apart from that, the safety of ships, cargo, and workers and TKBM is still not paid enough attention so that it can be detrimental to the ship or shipping company, PBM, and workers.

Considerando os desdobramentos da Reforma do novo ensino médio, o presente artigo analisa os reflexos neoliberais na produção discursiva do protagonismo juvenil presentes em livros didáticos de Projeto de Vida. Como aparato teórico, mobilizam-se os estudos discursivos sob a inspiração de Michel Foucault, a partir de conceitos como discurso, enunciado, formação discursiva, verdade, poder e neoliberalismo. Em relação à metodologia, o estudo se alinha a uma perspectiva descritivo-interpretativa e documental, de base qualitativa. O corpus compreende enunciados extraídos de nove livros didáticos de Projeto de Vida aprovados pelo Programa Nacional do Livro e do Material Didático (PNLD), edição de 2021. As análises possibilitam enfatizar que a construção do sujeito como protagonista opera a partir das relações de saber e poder evidenciadas em uma relação de íntima proximidade com os desígnios do mercado.
Being Human: On the Issue of Moral Education
Authors: Skvortsov Alexei A.
Published: June 2024

The author argues that moral education is a complex phenomenon to comprehend. Both its theoretical understanding and the transmission of relevant skills to the younger generation pose significant challenges. In contemporary Russia, there is an evident demand for moral education. The society’s interest in the moral development of the individual was first embodied in the emergence of the “Concept of Spiritual and Moral Development and Education of the Personality of a Citizen of Russia,” followed by the creation of a special educational discipline for elementary schools, “Fundamentals of Religious Cultures and Secular Ethics,” which has been taught for over a decade. The author asserts that currently, the discipline has been established, many of the initial concerns expressed about it have not been justified, and the discipline has become one of the familiar subjects for schoolchildren. However, the main problem lies in the fact that both pedagogical circles and representatives of public opinion have ceased to seek ways to improve the opportunities for spiritual and moral education in secondary schools, although such a subject area requires constant discussion of its content in relation to the rapidly changing conditions of modern life. The author primarily draws attention to the “Secular Ethics” block and proposes various ways to improve its content and teaching methods. Unfortunately, the current program largely fails to take into account domestic and foreign experience in developing the theory of moral development. The very title “secular ethics” is criticized as misleading regarding the possibility of dividing ethics based on religiosity. The article emphasizes the need to shift from the authoritarian transmission of ready-made moral prescriptions to focusing on developing students’ independent moral thinking, as well as their ability to make reasoned judgments and take actions. The author recommends more active use of interactive forms of lessons, group discussions, and case analyses that stimulate genuine student interest in moral issues. Ethical reflection should aid in the meaningful acceptance of value norms and the formation of a personal moral stance.
Problems and Prospects of Human Survival (Book review: P.A. Vodopyanov. At the Crossroads of Ages: Choosing a Strategy for Building the Future. Minsk: Belaruskaya navuka, 2023)
Authors: Sidorenko Irina N.
Published: June 2024

The monograph At the Crossroads of Ages: Choosing a Strategy for Building the Future by Belarusian philosopher P.A. Vodopyanov, Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, presents a comprehensive and thought-provoking study focused on identifying and analyzing strategies that contribute to achieving a sustainable and secure future for humanity. In the face of escalating global challenges, such as ecological crises, the depletion of natural resources, and the looming threat of pandemic diseases, the author highlights the critical need to fundamentally rethink and transform the prevailing anthropocentric approach to nature. P.A. Vodopyanov advocates for a profound shift from the consumerist ideology that has long dominated modern society to the cultivation of a new type of mentality and morality, emphasizing the paramount importance of aligning economic activities with the intricate laws governing the evolution of the biosphere. The author delves into the complex problems surrounding the preservation of the biosphere, illuminating its remarkable resilience and the crucial role of maintaining biological diversity in ensuring its stability. Central to P.A. Vodopyanov’s argument is the assertion that understanding and incorporating the intricate mechanisms that underpin the stability of the biosphere into environmental policy is of utmost importance in preventing environmental degradation and maintaining the delicate balance of the biosphere. These mechanisms include the hierarchical organization of living systems, the presence of redundant and backup elements, and the homeostatic processes that enable organisms to adapt to changing environmental conditions. The monograph dedicates significant attention to the analysis of evolutionary processes, exploring the directionality of ontogenetic and phylogenetic development and the profound significance of stability in the evolution of living nature. In his concluding remarks, P.A. Vodopyanov issues a compelling call for a radical restructuring of value orientations in the interaction between society and nature, stressing the vital importance of aligning economic development with the fundamental laws of biosphere evolution, and also proposes a compelling formulation of a moral imperative that demands human actions to be consistent with the laws governing the biosphere’s evolution, ensuring the survival and flourishing of humanity in the face of extreme environmental challenges.
The Phenomenon of Education: The Existential Order of Being
Authors: Karpov Alexander O.
Published: June 2024

The fundamental ontology of the phenomenon of education remains an insufficiently developed scientific problem. However, it serves as the foundation for the science of education, enabling it to transcend its purely applied and quotidian nature and finally attain the genuine status of a science. Fundamental ontology provides the support and substantiation for the concepts developed by science for its own purposes. This is precisely what characterizes science as science. Previously, I developed a part of the fundamental ontology of education, which I termed the instituting ontology. It includes such basic structural forms as ontological essence and relation to truth, primary constituents (universals), and non-Kuhnian paradigms, which comprise three dimensions: justificatory, universal, and paradigmatic. In the present work, the subject of my research is the anthropo-positing ontology of the phenomenon of education, in which two dimensions are distinguished: the existential-transcendental and the human-world dimensions. This article briefly examines the first dimension, which characterizes the educational movement of humans toward their essence, designated as the path to oneself. The starting point is the question of choosing authentic methods of scientific-cognitive activity for various groups of students. It is demonstrated how an individual’s problem-cognitive program illuminates the path to oneself in the sense of seeking and constructing the human foundation. Explanations are provided for the essence of the concepts “problem-cognitive program” and “non-Kuhnian paradigms,” which are necessary for understanding the presented ontological conception. The article outlines the fundamental categories of the existential-transcendental dimension of the phenomenon of education, which are defined as self-knowledge, self-expression, the spiritual, and the moral. In the category of self-knowledge, the opposition between individualization and individuation is presented, while in the category of self-expression, the opposition between reproductive and productive cognition is explored. The category of the spiritual characterizes the essence of the sphere of the spiritual in the individual and the sphere of the spiritual in the nation. It is shown that the spiritual represents the constitutive principle of personality, but not of the human being as such. The highest essential principle of the human being as such is the moral, which plays a unifying role in the quaternary of the existential-transcendental dimension of the fundamental ontology of education.
BIG DATA ANALYTICS SOFTWARE SELECTION WITH MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION-MAKING METHODS FOR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Authors: Öztaş Tayfun
Published: June 2024

In the process of transitioning to digital businesses, managers are faced with numerous decision-making challenges across various domains. This complexity poses a significant hurdle for traditional businesses seeking to embrace digital transformation. To address this challenge, the Preference Selection Index (PSI) and Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) methods are utilized for selecting Big Data Analytics (BDA) software, employing multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches. With a scenario involving 8 alternatives and 7 criteria, the PSI method is employed to establish the weights of the criteria. Subsequently, the ARAS method is utilized to rank the alternatives. The analysis identifies "Ease of Use" as the criterion with the highest importance weight (0.1464), while "Data Workflow" emerges as the least significant criterion (0.1378). Based on the highest utility degree (0.9548), the fifth alternative was identified as the most suitable big data analytics software for this scenario. Furthermore, the proposed method's applicability is validated through comparative analysis with five different MCDM methods, reinforcing the credibility of the results obtained.
Social Justice Leadership in School Settings: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Kavrayıcı Ceyhun
Published: June 2024

Justice emerges as a need like any other human need and the processes of justice play important role within the organization. Justice is a requirement for all forms of social participation. The continued existence of individuals in groups and organizations depends on their perception of the system's justice and equality. Social justice leadership includes the practice of leading and advocating for positive social change, equity, and fairness within society. Social justice leaders work to address and rectify systemic inequalities, discrimination, and injustices that affect marginalized and disadvantaged groups. They actively promote inclusivity, diversity, and equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their background, identity, or circumstances. This study is designed in qualitative paradigm as a case study. For selecting the partcipants I employed maximum variation sampling which is one of the categories of purposeful sampling that provides the researcher understand the basics of a case or a phenomenon under exploration. The findings of the study revealed that the practices of the school principals include “caring students”, “supporting staff” and “promoting positive organizational climate” theme. The challenges and barries that the principals face with include “parental challenges”, “financial issues” and “school conditions”. Social justie leadership practices are crucial in ensuring equitable learning athmosphere and barriers should be taken into account in policy making of education.
