Authors: Becirovic Amela , Trnacevic Alma , Rekic Amela , Dzafic Fejzo
Published: September 2022

Background: Leptospirosis is the most common zoonotic disease in Tuzla Canton. Objective: Determine the influence of environmental and precipitation factors on the incidence of leptospirosis. Methods: A retrospective study included 80 patients with leptospirosis. Data on precipitation were obtained from the online database of Federal Hydrometeorological Institute of BiH. OpenStreetMap (OSM) was used for spatial analysis; patients were geolocated and put on a map. Statistical data processing included basic tests of descriptive statistics. Results: In the period between 01.01.2014 and 31.12.2014, 80 patients with leptospirosis confirmed by clinical and serological testing were hospitalized in the Clinic for Infectious Diseases of the University Clinical Center Tuzla. Gender wise, out of 80 patients, 54 were male (67.5% of the total), and 26 were female (32.5%). More patients lived in the countryside: 64/80 (or 89%). The largest number of patients was engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry: 48/80 (or 60%), mostly cows 32/80 (40%), chickens 12/80 (15%), sheep 4/80 (5%) and pigs 3/80 (3.8%). Of the total number of patients, 50 (or 62.5%) had contact with domestic animals: dogs 10/80 (or 12.5%) and cats 5/80 (or 6.3%). Half of 53/80 (66.3%) patients had contact with flooded areas in the study period. The increase in leptospirosis diagnosed patients in the City of Srebrenik was statistically significant for 2014 (p<0.01). Conclusion: Leptospirosis in one of the neglected infectious diseases in our area, but the proven increase in the number of infected people after heavy rainfall obliges us to control the risks associated with this disease.

Authors: Mameledzija Nermin , Hadziabdic Naida , Dzankovic Aida , Korac Samra , Tahmiscija Irmina , Brankovic Lajla
Published: September 2022

Background: In the academic world, the debate continues on the subject of how far a lack of vitamin D can affect the healing of various wounds. Objective: To determine if basal serum levels of vitamin D significantly influence clinical parameters linked to post-extraction wound healing after surgical removal of impacted/semi-impacted third molars. Methods: A total of 23 patients were included in this study. Clinical outcome parameters were: edema, trismus, pain, soft tissue healing, and dry socket signs. The research was divided into four stages. Results: Due to the high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D (91%), patients were classified into an insufficient (≥ 20 ng/ml) or a deficient group (<20 ng/ml). The results showed no statistically significant differences in pain, edema, trismus, or soft tissue healing between those two groups. A slight statistical interaction was observed in the clinical parameters related to edema and trismus assessment, but not statistically significant. We did not notice signs of “dry socket” on any of the patients. Conclusion: Within its limitations (low number of patients, high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency), this pilot study failed to find a significant influence of serum vitamin D concentrations in wound healing or post-surgery symptom (pain, edema, trismus) development after third molar extraction. Further clinical investigations are necessary to elaborate on this function of vitamin D more precisely.

Published: September 2022

Background: Low level of health professionals’ work motivation is a critical challenge for countries’ health care system. A survey of ministries of health in many countries showed that low motivation was seen as the second most important health workforce problem after staff shortages. Objective: The aim of the study was to examine in detail the factors which can affect motivation and work engagement, to assess the motivation levels of personnel working in public hospitals and to identify any differences between the various categories of healthcare professionals employed at the 1st Regional Health Authority of Attica. Methods: Frederick Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene theory was used as the theoretical framework. Twelve phrases were used that correspond to intrinsic and extrinsic motivating factors, namely achievement, recognition, nature of work, responsibility, advancement, growth, organizational policies, supervision, interpersonal relationships, working conditions, salary and job security. Phrases 1-6 covered the internal motivators and 7-12 correspond to the external. Additional questions were added covering the socio-demographic characteristics of respondents. Results: The response rate was 81.95% and 3,278 questionnaires were collected. Findings suggest that extrinsic motivation factors have slightly higher mean scores (MS=8.30) than intrinsic motivation factors (7.81). The role of factors like salary (9.31), organizational policies (8.91), growth (8.89) and job security (8.86) was significant. However, every category of hospital staff is affected in a different way and degree by each factor. In periods of crisis, the need of extrinsic factors of motivation increased. Conclusions: Providing a motivating environment for employees becomes more fundamental in the healthcare system. Motivation of healthcare employees was affected by factors related to supervision, financial benefits, job training and growth. Efforts should be made to provide such benefits to health employees as appropriate especially, to those who did not get any such benefits. Officially recognizing best performance is suggested.

Authors: Tamdemir Sultan , Menku Burak , Genis Bahadir , Cosar Behcet
Published: September 2022

Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between illness perception, avoidance behavior, perception of obsession and personality traits in healthcare workers after the COVID-19 outbreak.
Methods: An online survey was conducted with 652 healthcare professionals in May 2020 to assess their perceptions of obsession and related factors. Sociodemographic data form, COVID-19 Disease Perception Scale, COVID-19 Avoidance Attitudes Scale, Maudsley Obsessive Compulsive Questionnaire and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire were used in the study.
Results: Significant predictors of COVID-19-related contagiousness perception were young age (β=-0.235, p<0.001), low psychoticism (β=-0.091, p=0.018), and high cleansing obsessions (β=0.127, p=0.004). It has been found that individuals with high extroverted personality traits (β=0.123, p=0.002) and more intense ruminative thoughts (β=0.117, p=0.003) have more cognitive avoidance from COVID-19, and those in the young age group (β=-0.184, p<0.001) with high education level (β=0.128, p=0.001) and intensive cleaning obsessions (β=0.090, p=0.030) have a behavioral avoidance attitude from COVID-19.
Conclusion: In the course of the COVID 19 pandemic, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms may be a response to protecting yourself and others from the virus. Our data support the suggestion that public health advice during pandemics should include mental health campaigns aimed at reducing the psychological effects of pandemics.

Published: September 2022

Aim/Background: Mental-health problems among coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) inpatients is an underinvestigated issue. The study reported herein was conducted to assess obsessive-compulsive, borderline, schizoid and narcissistic personality disorder beliefs and the influence of these dysfunctional beliefs on the anxiety and depression levels of COVID-19 inpatients.
Methods: A total of 75 COVID-19 inpatients were recruited for the study. Their anxiety and depression levels were evaluated using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the aforementioned personality disorder beliefs were evaluated using Personality Belief Questionnaire-Short Form.
Results: According to the cut-off values, 9.3% (n = 7) of the inpatients were considered having anxiety and 34.7% (n = 26) were considered having depression. The mean scores for obsessive-compulsive, schizoid, borderline and narcissistic personality disorder beliefs were 15.1 ± 6.2, 12.9 ± 6.0, 10.0 ± 5.5 and 9.4 ± 5.6, respectively. The anxiety levels of the female inpatients were significantly higher than those of the male inpatients (z = 2.152; p = 0.031). The inpatients borderline personality disorder belief scores were significantly correlated with their anxiety levels (r = 0.390; p = 0.001).
Conclusion: The study participants obsessive-compulsive personality disorder beliefs were higher than their other aforementioned personality disorder beliefs. Female gender and borderline personality disorder beliefs were found to be related with anxiety level. The influence of these factors should be considered in the evaluation of COVID-19 inpatients in daily clinical practice.

Relation Between Mathematical Proof Problem Solving, Math Anxiety, Self-Efficacy, Learning Engagement, and Backward Reasoning
Authors: Shimizu Yuno
Published: September 2022

Providing adequate proof is one essential mathematical method, but it is a difficult task for many school-age students. While previous studies have revealed the cognitive factors of proving the proof, the function of affective factors and learning engagement has been largely unexplored. This study examined the effects and processes associated with math anxiety, self-efficacy, engagement, and backward reasoning on the provision of proof when solving math problems about geometric similarity. A survey was conducted on 160 junior high school students, from which it was found that: (a) self-efficacy was indirectly and directly positively associated with the provision of proof when solving math problems and was mediated by math anxiety and backward reasoning; (b) math anxiety was indirectly and negatively associated with the provision of proof when solving difficult proof problems and was mediated by backward reasoning; (c) the use of backward reasoning was positively associated with the provision of proof when solving proof problems; (d) cognitive engagement was indirectly and positively associated with the provision of proof when solving proof problems and was mediated by self-efficacy and backward reasoning. The results suggest that improving cognitive engagement, self-efficacy, and backward reasoning may be effective in the provision of proof when solving proof problems.
Managerial Functions of an Independent Coordinating Body in the Governance of Waste Management
Authors: Beccarello Massimo , Foggia Giacomo Di
Published: September 2022

Policies adopted to improve the competitiveness of public services include those designed to reform governance. Good governance of the waste management industry is becoming one of the most thought-provoking themes in heading toward a more circular economy. Given the complexity of this industry, the starting point for improving waste management performance must be at the industry structure and governance level. Although the economic literature on waste management has deeply investigated economic efficiency, business models, environmental performances, and citizens' behavior, governance's role in supporting the market's healthy functioning has received little attention. In such an evolving industry, securing a competitive market while ensuring the universality of waste management services and reaching circular economy targets is challenging. Based on both a theoretical approach and empirical analysis, we provide insights into the managerial functions of an independent body aimed at performing tasks that help policymakers to implement policies, waste management operators make decisions, and stakeholders, get information. We identify the economic and managerial functions that shall be entrusted to an independent coordinating body to coordinate and support the operators and institutions involved in the waste management industry. Focusing on municipal solid waste, we justify our proposal since it is a public service with environmental and economic implications at the center of the transition toward a more circular economy. Given its complexity, it needs to be properly governed to avoid policy and strategic drifts that may hinder the transition path.
Creative compliance, neutralization techniques, and palaeontological ethics
Authors: Yates Donna
Published: September 2022

This paper uses the sociological and criminological concepts of creative compliance and techniques of neutralization to consider reactions to ongoing ethical issues within the paleontological community. Using the ethical and legal issues concerning the study of fossil-bearing amber from Myanmar, and drawing upon interviews from palaeontologists conducted by the TRANSFORM project, this paper argues that palaeontological research has a strong social component which should not only be reflected in the ethical approval and oversight of palaeontological projects, but also reflected in the teaching of palaeontology at university level.

La geografia com a metàfora i com a palimpsest. Passat i futur d’una disciplina
Authors: Boira Josep Vicent , Vicente Rufí Joan
Published: September 2022

L’article es presenta en un format poc convencional: un intercanvi epistolar entre els autors. El diàleg gira a l’entorn de la funció i la utilitat de la geografia en el marc de la contemporaneïtat tan convulsa que vivim, en la qual l’espai continua sent transcendental a la vegada que sembla que es desmaterialitza. Partint de la suposició, i convicció, que aquesta utilitat ha existit a llarg dels darrers segles, quina ha de ser l’actual? I com exercir-la? Les respostes a aquestes preguntes no són clares ni contundents, sinó més aviat diverses i propositives, sustentades en la funció essencial de la geografia: nodrir del que Giuseppe Dematteis en deia «metàfores», descripcions intencionades de la realitat capaces de fer visible, emergir, el que no és evident del món on vivim, els seus problemes i les possibilitats que ens ofereix.
El auge de la urbanización planetaria: del Mediterráneo ibérico a la Amazonía ecuatoriana
Authors: Mejía Verónica , Checa Rius Joan
Published: September 2022

El artículo tiene por objeto explorar la transformación de los espacios abiertos a raíz de la extensión y profundización del proceso de urbanización a escala planetaria, proceso que atañe hoy al conjunto del territorio y ha dejado obsoletas las viejas distinciones entre espacios urbanos y rurales. Para ello, estudia los usos del suelo en dos áreas muy diversas —el litoral mediterráneo ibérico y la Amazonía de Ecuador— para mostrar cómo las actividades urbanas están transformando, en uno y otro caso, los usos de los espacios abiertos. La comparación parte de la lectura de imágenes satelitales nocturnas, que permite analizar la intensidad de los usos del territorio a partir de la luminosidad emitida. Los resultados obtenidos a través de los niveles de radiancia muestran la relación entre la evolución de la luminosidad y las dinámicas económicas implantadas en los territorios analizados, lo que permite constatar la importancia de los usos antrópicos permanentes en los espacios abiertos de ambos territorios.
The idea of mutual recognition of probation decisions within the European Union from the perspective of the State and the convicted person
Authors: Kosecki Alan
Published: September 2022

In this paper the author addresses the issue of mutual recognition of probation decisions within the European Union from the perspective of the State and the convicted person. He characterizes the idea and general regulation of this aspect of cross-border cooperation in order to present the benefits and dangers of this institution for both entities. Through the analysis of legal acts, jurisprudence and reports on the practical application of these provisions, it points out the need for further development of international cooperation in criminal matters but also for changes in this area, putting forward the thesis that this institution is currently underestimated and underdeveloped in practical terms. The article contains a comprehensive characterization of both the formation of cooperation between European Union Member States in the area of mutual recognition of probation decisions and the principles on which it is based. It pays particular attention to the process of social resocialization and the influence of this institution on general and individual prevention. The analysis of the above issue will lead to postulates aimed at finding a remedy for at least some of the problems raised in the paper with the application of the institution in practice. The article is also a response to the accelerating process of globalization, the spreading of free movement of people within the European Union and the development trends of the Community, which implies a situation in which more and more crimes are committed by foreigners taking advantage of the openness of borders.
Inspiring Innovation through Design Thinking: Lessons from a Graduate-Level Course Offered during the Pandemic in Pakistan
Authors: Naseem Azra , Crichton Susan
Published: September 2022

There is a consensus that in a world impacted by COVID-19, the relationship between education and technology must be re-considered. Design Thinking has been an effective technique for fostering innovative thinking. Theis paper discusses the application of Design Thinking as a pedagogical innovation at the Aga Khan University Institute for Educational Development Pakistan in a graduate-level online course for teachers. Participants were invited to learn about the Design Thinking process and technology integration by engaging in a Design Thinking process to identify a problem and develop ideas needed in their professional teaching contexts. Data were analysed using an autoethnographic approach to determine the effectiveness of Design Thinking in inspiring innovations in education. Design Thinking was a novel approach for the participants, and many stated they will include it in their work in the future. The participants' design problems were related to evaluation, learner engagement, and online and technology-enhanced learning ethics. The empathy stage helped in a deeper understanding of taken-for-granted teaching issues. The process encouraged participation and voice, particularly among the female participants. Teacher education must adapt to encourage innovations in classrooms. Educators in similar contexts may find the lessons valuable.

Published: September 2022

OBJECTIVE: To systematize the main actions and interventions of Food and Nutrition Education for schoolchildren and describe the activities found in the national literature. METHODS: Non-systematized literature review on schoolchild feeding education, using the following criteria: articles published in national journals, theses, dissertations, and books on the subject between 2009 and 2022. RESULTS: In Brazil, food is a right provided for as promulgated in the Federal Constitution since 1988, ensuring the right to school feeding to all students in elementary school through a supplementary school feeding program to be offered by the federal, state, and municipal governments, and since February 2010, food was included among the social rights provided for in Article 6 of the Federal Constitution defined by the Organic Law of Food and Nutrition Security. However, there are still challenges facing its realization. CONCLUSION: Nutrition Education actions are important because they have benefits for the health of children and promote early food awareness. However, although it is a mandatory item in the educational curriculum to talk about healthy eating according to the guidelines of the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), this subject is not so deep and addressed in studies since it is difficult to select articles, because besides being mandatory in the educational curricula of schools to teach and practice healthy eating, perhaps not at the level of depth and update desired by the authors. Nutrition Education should be an integral part of the mandatory subjects, especially for students in the early stages of education, also reaching those who live with them and society in general.

Sztuczna Inteligencja w wyznaczaniu wskaźników modeli predykcyjnych na rynkach FX
Authors: Lizut Rafał
Published: September 2022

Systemy wspomagania decyzji w handlu na rynku walutowym okazały się przydatne, jeśli nie niezbędne. Stopień ich skuteczności predykcyjnej zależy od skonstruowanego modelu i dobranych danych. Podstawowe informacje do budowy modeli pochodzą z historii kursu interesującej nas pary walutowej w określonych przedziałach czasowych. Reszta danych pochodzi z wybranych wskaźników określających, co może być przyczyną takich właśnie wahań kursowych walut w danym czasie. Wskaźniki te pochodzą z różnych źródeł, takich jak teorie ekonomiczne, doświadczenia traderów, itp. Analiza różnych metod wykazała, że chociaż autorzy i praktycy stosują różne metody w przewidywaniu kursów walutowych, w tym ML, ANN i innych, nie używają żadnej z nich do weryfikacji wartości samych wskaźników lub określenia, które powinny być brane pod uwagę jako dane wejściowe dla algorytmów. Takie podejście do wyboru wskaźników jest niewystarczające. Najlepsze modele predykcyjne byłyby oparte na związku przyczynowo-skutkowym, a nie koincydencji. Aby uniknąć błędu non causa pro causa należy określić relację między wskaźnikami. Jednak na skomplikowanym rynku walutowym ważne wskaźniki mogą być na pierwszy rzut oka niewidoczne, ze względu na nasze ograniczenia komputacyjne i te związane z pamięcią. W związku z tym, zaproponowane zostały metody wyszukiwania wzorców, zastosowane z powodzeniem w innych obszarach badań jak wykrywanie oszustw i korupcji, gdzie ważne wskaźnikami do modeli predykcyjnych zostały okryte przez metodologie takie jak uczenie nienadzorowane. Ponadto zasugerowano, że wskaźniki te mogą być określane w czasie rzeczywistym i stać się częścią adaptacyjnego systemu predykcyjnego FX.

Kritik Nalar Abid Al-Jabiri: Pembacaan Terhadap Turats dan Modernitas
Authors: Ibad Syaichon
Published: September 2022

Artikel ini berupaya untuk mengetahui deskontruktisitas epistemologi keislaman yang dilakukan oleh Abid al-Jabiri dengan menawarkan nalar barunya untuk bangsa Arab, agar Islam lebih dewasa dan terampil dalam menyikapi modernitas. Disamping itu penelitian ini bertujuan  untuk mendeteksi beberapa kelompok intelektual muslim Arab yang muncul dengan membawa varian “jalan keluar”-nya masing-masing, dalam rangka memberikan sebuah sintesa yang apik di tengah pandangan polaritas Arab-Islam terhadap turats dan modernitas. Dalam pengertian Arab kontemporer, turats lebih berupa warisan intelektual atau sebuah cara mengorganisasi ilmu pengetahuan dan pemikiran Islam. Lebih tepatnya turats adalah sebuah perangkat berpikir kaum muslimin baik dalam tindakan memahami atau pengolahan pengetahuan yang telah dirumuskan dan dibukukan pada masa kodifikasi ilmu-ilmu keislaman. Lain halnya dengan turats dalam wacana Arab klasik yang cenderung memberikan penekanan melalui hukum Islam yang bermakna harta warisan. Ditambah lagi turats memiliki denotasi cara melihat yang menyongsong ke depan, sangat kontras dengan tradisi yang memiliki posisi di masa lampau dan mengandung makna negatif, seperti aktivitas taqlid buta kepada sesuatu secara pasif. Sedangkan modernitas disini sebagai prestasi capaian umat manusia kontemporer dianggap sering menggugat relevanitas Islam dalam menyikapi gagasan-gagasan perubahan yang kerap ia hembuskan. Berdasarkan kajian yang telah dilakukan, hasil menunjukkan bahwa al-Jabiri tidak sekedar mengkritik trilogi nalar Arab (Bayani, ‘Irfani, Burhani) yang diyakini sebagai penyebab keterbelakangan Islam maupun sebatas menolak pendekatan beberapa kalangan intelektual Arab-Islam. Melainkan al-Jabiri memilih untuk bersikap lebih adil dengan mensinergikan ketiga nalar Arab tersebut untuk menjadi pendamping umat Islam dalam kehidupan kontemporer, sehingga tidak ada lagi benturan-benturan mengenai prinsip-prinsip keislaman dengan bayang-bayang perubahan, sebab pada hakikatnya perubahan itu sendiri adalah Sunnatullah.

Many researchers see a potential in women’s competencies that can bring them tangible profits. Some notice that women are agents of change in the organization, and “female attributes and competencies” such as interpersonal skills, consensus ability, multitasking, empathy, teamwork are an essential supplement to the soft leadership model that appeared in the 1990s. Representation of women and the resulting symbolic status at higher organizational levels limit the development of their managerial careers in the longer term. Therefore, the main goal of this descriptive article was to define the factors determining the employment of expatriate women in international corporations.

A STUDY ON $q$-ANALOGUE OF DEGENERATE $\frac{1}{2}$-CHANGHEE NUMBERS AND POLYNOMIALS
Authors: Khan Waseem
Published: September 2022

The aim of the paper is to introduce $q$-analogue of degenerate $\frac{1}{2}$-Changhee numbers $Ch_{n,q,\lambda,\frac{1}{2}}$ with the help of a $p$-adic $q$-integral on $\mathbb Z_p$ and derive explicit expressions and some identities for those numbers. In more detail, we deduce explicit expressions of $Ch_{n,q,\lambda,\frac{1}{2}}$, as a rational function in terms of Euler number and Stirling numbers of the first kind, as a fermionic $p$-adic $q$-integral on $\mathbb Z_p$.
