Authors: Crespo-Berti Luis Andrés , Peñarreta-Quezada Santiago Xavier
Published: September 2024

Este trabajo se empodera sobre un dominio híbrido clínico-jurídico debido a la responsabilidad penal por el quebrantamiento jurídico de cuidado en que incurren algunos profesionales de la odontología. El problema vertebra por los síntomas que se dan durante el acto odontológico, tales como: (a) sin historia de estado bucal; (b), historia de estado bucal como probanza; (c) desconocimiento del marco legal; (d) impericia en el ejercicio de la profesión; (e) falta de asesoría; (f) insuficiencia en la formación profesional; (g) marginación del control odontológico, entre otros. El objetivo de esta investigación versó sobre explicar la diagnosis holográfica de la responsabilidad penal del profesional odontólogo como prevención jurídica estomatognática. Se aplicó un diseño narrativo. Desde el foco de la clasificación doctrinaria de la culpa, las consecuencias de la imputación objetiva recaen en la impericia por ser este el estamento plausible con el ejercicio versus las consecuencias de la profesión.

La plupart de problèmes que connaissent les Etats Africains et c’est le cas de la République Démocratique du Congo ne peuvent être résolus que dans une logique d’une bonne gouvernance. Cet exercice se définit généralement par des principes des compétences partagées entre différents niveaux. Il s’agit d’une révolution copernicienne, conduisant à une réforme profonde des rapports entre les différentes structures de l’Etat. Ainsi, dans le cadre de cette réflexion, notre objet se fixe sur la gestion de la res publica en RDC. Ceci étant, la bonne gouvernance part toujours de l’efficacité et la promotion de l’Etat. La bonne gouvernance a pour point de départ l’idée que la meilleure gouvernance est celle qui applique et met en œuvre la répartition équitable de richesses de manière optimale, tout en veillant à ce que toute personne placée sous la juridiction de l’Etat jouisse de la totalité des droits. Cette analyse tend à scruter la refondation de l’Etat dans le contexte de la RDC, enfin de redorer à cette dernière sa robe d’avant 1990 comme puissance régionale au cœur de l’Afrique, Etat œuvrant pour la promotion et la protection de sa population, garant de la paix voire de la justice sociale. Mots-clés : Etat, Bonne gouvernance, Refondation de l’Etat.

The historical background of working with dreams as an unconscious material is investigated, the features of a number of areas such as psychoanalysis, gestalt approach, psychodrama, and their specifics when working with dreams are revealed. In the final part of the article, the principles, classification and sequence of stages of client-centered arrangements are presented, which ultimately can bring a person closer not only to a deeper understanding of himself, but also to personal transformation.
PERFECTIONISM AS A PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENON AND THE SPECIFICS OF ITS MANIFESTATION IN ADOLESCENCE
Authors: Шафажинская Н.Е. , Юлина Г.Н. , Калита В.В.
Published: September 2024

Перфекционизм является одним из наиболее актуальных, широко дискутируемых явлений, непосредственно связанных с имманентно присущей человеку интенцией к достижению высшего уровня своего саморазвития и деятельности в той или иной сфере. Данная тема активно изучается как за рубежом, так и в России, особенно в последнее время, что обусловлено, в частности, ее идентификацией с вопросами социальной успешности личности. В современной психологической науке перфекционизм трактуется как стремление индивида к идеалу, проявляющееся в установлении высоких личных стандартов. Эти стандарты служат ориентиром для достижения наилучших результатов в различных сферах деятельности, будь то духовно-нравственные, интеллектуальные, материальные, морально-этические, эстетические, профессиональные или физические аспекты жизни. Особую значимость изучение феномена перфекционизма имеет для молодежной среды в связи с «нарциссизацией» массовой культуры в эпоху постмодернизма со свойственным ей злоупотреблением современными гедонистическими технологиями удовлетворения потребительской мотивации, хаотической и чрезвычайно изменчивой общественно продуцируемой системой норм и ценностей.

The article is devoted to the theoretical and empirical study of the phenomenon of perfectionism and its features in adolescence. Perfectionism is one of the most relevant, widely debated phenomena directly related to the inherent human intention to achieve the highest levels of self-development and activity in a particular field. This topic, especially recently, has been actively studied both abroad and in Russia, which is due, in particular, to its identification with the social success of the individual. In modern psychology, perfectionism is defined as the pursuit of perfection, as the presence of high individual standards in a subject, according to which he strives to bring the results of any of his activities to match the chosen semantic and life-defining standards — spiritual, moral, intellectual, material, moral, ethical, aesthetic, professional, physical. In the content of the article, the authors emphasize that the study of the phenomenon of perfectionism is of particular importance among young people in connection with the «narcissization» of mass culture in the postmodern era with its characteristic abuse of modern hedonistic technologies to satisfy consumer motivation, chaotic and extremely changeable socially produced system of norms and values.

Published: September 2024

Эффективность деятельности предприятия во многом зависит от различных факторов внешнего и внутреннего воздействия. При этом закупочная деятельность является одним из ключевых факторов, влияющих на динамику основных финансово-экономических показателей. Контроль рисков закупочной деятельности призван обеспечить непрерывность поставок ресурсов и бесперебойную работу предприятия. От качества и стоимости поставляемых ресурсов зависит себестоимость и качество выпускаемой продукции, а следовательно, конкурентоспособность предприятия. Рассмотренный в работе механизм оценки рисков закупочной деятельности позволит предприятию совершенствовать свою закупочную политику и повысить уровень эффективности деятельности.

The efficiency of an enterprise depends largely on various factors of external and internal influence. At the same time, procurement activity is one of the key factors influencing the dynamics of main financial and economic indicators. Risk control of procurement activities is designed to ensure the continuity of supply of resources and the smooth operation of the enterprise. The cost and quality of products depends on the quality and cost of the supplied resources, and, consequently, the competitiveness of the enterprise. The mechanism of risk assessment of procurement activities considered in the work will allow the company to improve its procurement policy and increase the level of efficiency of its activities.
Essential skills for a global workplace: Revisiting the DINAMITE model for post-pandemic higher education
Authors: Crawford Izzy
Published: September 2024

This paper investigates some of the recent terminology and concepts used to describe the type and nature of transferable skills that are developed and nurtured in students in higher education, with a particular focus on the DINAMITE1 model. The DINAMITE model was developed by the author in 2021 following research with employers in three different countries. This paper seeks to evaluate the relevance and suitability of this model in 2024 from the perspective of fellow pedagogical researchers at the author’s home institution in Scotland. An online, semi-structured focus group with eight academics was held in February 2024. A thematic analysis was applied to the data and compared to recent literature on transferable skill development in higher education. The findings suggest there is a lack of clarity and coherence concerning the different terms and concepts that are used to describe transferable skills within the context of higher education; however, there is strong awareness and understanding of the fundamental importance of these skills. The DINAMITE model has both strengths and weaknesses as a conceptual tool for understanding the transferable skills that are necessary for a global digital workplace. Therefore, this paper proposes a revised version of the DINAMITE model based on the recommendations of the participants. Further research is needed to examine a wider range of academic, student and employer opinions on the terminology and concepts used to describe transferable skill development within higher education. A universally accepted model would enable key stakeholders to devise a more cohesive approach to transferable skill development in preparation for the workplace.
Integrating liquid hydrogen infrastructure at airports: Conclusions from an ecosystem approach at Rotterdam The Hague Airport
Authors: Van Dijk Daan , Ebrahim Hosam , Jooss Yannick , Flo Bødal Espen , Hjorth Ida
Published: September 2024

Aviation is a contributor to global warming. Hydrogen-powered aircraft are seen as an important option to decarbonise parts of commercial aviation. Airports have a pivotal role in facilitating the development of ground infrastructure. This paper provides a broader perspective on the supply and handling of liquid hydrogen, and necessary airport developments, to enable hydrogen-powered aviation. Hydrogen-related airport development projects at Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTHA) are presented and discussed, and a detailed overview of the airport’s liquid hydrogen (LH2) storage facility is given. To link the ongoing developments to future needs, a LH2 demand scenario for RTHA is determined for the years 2040 and 2050. Based on this demand, analysis of levelised cost of hydrogen for relevant value chains were conducted. This study exemplifies that the LH2 value chain for an airport depends on individual characteristics of the airport and its surroundings. The hydrogen demand, the airport’s proximity to larger hydrogen hubs (import and/or production hubs) and the availability of local renewable resources, which influence electricity price and hydrogen production and liquefaction costs, are key parameters and heavily influence the airport LH2 value chain. Conceptualisation and future development of hydrogen infrastructure for airport supply should take into account the above factors. LH2 demand at RTHA in the year 2050 is predicted to range between 8–14kt. Under the given electricity price assumptions, local production and liquefaction of hydrogen at the airport is not seen as a viable option, as cost savings can be achieved by making use of the Port of Rotterdam’s large hydrogen production and import cluster nearby. The work shows that trailer-based logistics for both the delivery of LH2 to the airport and subsequent usage of these trailers in the storage and dispensing process at the airport seems the most viable for RTHA (and airports that show similarities). This further indicates that current small-scale LH2 demonstration at airports provides important lessons for scaling up.
ANALYSIS OF HOW AND WHY STYLISTIC LANGUAGE IMPACTS ADVERTISING WITH A JOURNALISTIC APPROACH
Authors: Rafat Ahmad-Zia
Published: September 2024

Objective and Background: The Internet of Things (IoT) devices store a great volume of data. Therefore, with the advancements in technology, some new protection guidelines have to be developed to preserve data privacy and collection. The present study aimed to determine a secure protective framework using the BTD structure in a specified zone, and provide the idea of hiding the sensory data of an operator device to preserve data privacy without losing the data integrity. Methodology: Two simple and enhanced methods were used. The BTD framework and estimated ground truth were used in both modes. The enhanced method allows the users to use a random weight (variance) when combining their sensory data with the estimated ground truth provided by the agent. We ran the BTD framework in the CloudSim (network simulation framework). Each simulation is run for 500 virtual minutes with 12 iterations. The target zone is set to 50×50 meters. The test results were collected on real-world data traces from sensory systems. In addition to the BTD structure, the Voting method has been also used, and to do so, majority voting and CRH truth discovery method (Conflict Resolution on Heterogeneous Data) which does not take any measures to break the security of the sensor during the process is used. Findings: The comparative results show a 0.70-0.71 error level between the BTD and other functions, at least. As long as there is at least one reliable source, the BTD will have an error level of 0. Simulations show that BTD has a worst-case error of 0.05 and a weighted variance of +/- 5%. Based on previous frameworks, the BTD is improved by three requirements of a population identified in the IoT: Preservation of privacy for the device user, data integrity for the data collection group, and low-cost computation on the user device.

Published: September 2024

La presente investigación se realizó en la Provincia Pichincha, Sector “El Camal”, en el Mercado de Chiriyacu, de la ciudad de Quito. Se centra en la erradicación del trabajo infantil, para visualizar cuales son las consecuencias de cómo se vulneran los derechos de los niños reconocidos en la constitución ecuatoriana y los instrumentos internacionales. Tiene por objeto conocer las consecuencias a las que están expuestos los menores al realizar esta actividad como enfermedades, secuestros, accidentes de tránsito, trata de blanca, maltratos físicos y psicológicos. El trabajo infantil puede causar daños irreversibles en el desarrollo de los menores, constituye una problemática vulnerando los derechos fundamentales de la niñez, afectando principalmente el desarrollo psicofísico de los niños y niñas. Las principales causas del trabajo infantil en el Ecuador son la pobreza, violencia intrafamiliar y la falta de participación en los sistemas educativos, convirtiéndose en una problemática social grave en nuestro país. Es evidente que existe una relación directa entre la pobreza y el trabajo infantil, puesto que los niños y niñas que trabajan pertenecen a un grupo mayoritario de pobreza, violando sus derechos obligándolos a llevar una cuota a sus hogares, aprovechándose de su inocencia por el miedo a que crean en su círculo familiar, permitiendo a los infantes no conocer sobre sus derechos sin poder exigir que se cumplan. En nuestro país la población está acostumbrada a ver esta problemática sin pensar en el riesgo que están expuestos los menores
LA CUESTIÓN DE GÉNERO EN EL DERECHO LABORAL CONTEMPORÁNEO: BREVES APUNTES VALORATIVOS
Authors: Rojas Jiménez Andy , Roque Rodríguez Yanier Senén , Castellanos Fuentes Pedro Enrique
Published: September 2024

El Derecho Laboral contemporáneo ha sufrido grandes transformaciones en las últimas décadas. Las luchas por la equidad de género y el acceso en igualdad de condiciones de las mujeres, ha sido y sigue constituyendo un reto en la actualidad. ONU Mujeres ha afirmado en 2019 que en la actualidad aun son insuficientes los esfuerzos de los países por establecer en sus ordenamientos jurídicos, preceptos de contenido laboral que tributen de forma efectiva a la tan ansiada equidad de género en este ámbito; mientras que la Organización Internacional del Trabajo, en el mismo año, ha referido que aún siguen siendo importantes las brechas, no solo salariales, sino de todo tipo, en el tratamiento de empleabilidad de las mujeres. De esta forma, analizar las principales categorías y postulados críticos que presenta en la actualidad el Derecho Laboral para dar respuesta efectiva a los restos que se imponen en dicho mercado en asuntos de género, constituye la principal motivación del artículo. Mediante una revisión documental, se establece que las reflexiones y valoraciones que acá se presentan, constituyen una postura que se legitima en una intención personal de seguir enriqueciendo la temática y continuar propendiendo al empoderamiento de las mujeres en una lucha que tribute definitivamente, a una mejor comprensión de las cuestiones de género.
ANÁLISIS DE LA SITUACIÓN DE SALUD EN LA MUJER ECUATORIANA
Authors: Ramos Armijos Diana Fernanda
Published: September 2024

Las mujeres ecuatorianas se encuentran en una situación de vulnerabilidad y precariedad, algunas de ellas se convierten en madres a temprana edad, así lo expresan las estadísticas del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos. (INEC) donde refleja que el embarazo a temprana edad comienza alrededor de los 12 años. De hecho, 2500 niñas se embarazan todos los años. Muchas de estas adolescentes desertan de sus actividades estudiantiles, como lo expresa la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición- ENSANUT 2017 reflejando que 6.487 adolescentes abandonaron sus estudios por un embarazo precoz. En 2015 se registraron 24.794 partos en adolescentes, correspondientes al 23% del total de partos del año en Ecuador. El 7% eran de niñas de 10 a 14 años. Muchos de estos casos ya mencionados son productos del déficit de salud sexual y reproductiva. Se suma, que la mayoría de estas niñas embarazadas sufren violencia sexual. Cada día, 6 adolescentes menores de 14 años son madres, producto de una violación. Hasta la fecha se registran 49 femicidios. El problema social no solo es el embarazo infantil, sino la orfandad de los hijos. El acceso a la salud de las mujeres es indispensable para desarrollar una agenda de igualdad de género que permita a las mujeres, contrarrestar los diferentes índices que influyen en el perfil epidemiológico del Ecuador, donde se puede evidenciar también un alto porcentaje de Infecciones de Transmisión Sexual, pues, 18 de cada 1.000 mujeres embarazadas tienen VIH. 8 de cada 100 embarazos en adolescentes terminan en aborto
Análisis de susceptibilidad a fraudes por suplantación de voz mediante inteligencia artificial, en personas de la tercera edad.
Authors: Villarreal Andrés , Corella Stalin , Pilicita Stalin , Proaño Daniel
Published: September 2024

El presente artículo aborda la susceptibilidad al fraude por suplantación de voz mediante inteligencia artificial (IA) enfocado en personas de la tercera edad, un grupo particularmente vulnerable a este tipo de estafas debido a su limitada familiaridad con las tecnologías emergentes. Se llevó a cabo un experimento utilizando herramientas de clonación de voz como Speechify y ElevenLabs para replicar las voces de familiares cercanos a los participantes, todos mayores de 65 años. Se realizaron 40 llamadas simuladas con escenarios diseñados para generar urgencia y preocupación, como accidentes de tránsito o problemas legales. Los resultados muestran que un 72% de los participantes no fueron capaces de identificar que la voz escuchada no pertenecía a su familiar, lo que demuestra la alta vulnerabilidad de este grupo ante estafas telefónicas. Solo un 28% de los participantes detectó la falsificación, generalmente al solicitar más información o verificar la llamada directamente con su familiar.
El análisis revela que el componente emocional juega un papel determinante en la efectividad de estas estafas, ya que las víctimas tienden a reaccionar impulsivamente cuando creen que un ser querido está en peligro. Se discuten estrategias de mitigación, como la educación tecnológica para personas mayores, el desarrollo de tecnologías de detección de fraude y la regulación del uso de IA en la clonación de voz. El artículo concluye que es fundamental implementar un enfoque preventivo que combine educación, tecnología y políticas de seguridad para proteger a este grupo de estafas cibernéticas.
Metaponto, strigili compositi in bronzo e ferro. Tecniche di fabbricazione e inquadramento cronologico
Authors: Luca Salvaggio
Published: September 2024

La ricerca archeologica in Lucania ha portato alla luce quattro strigili realizzati con una tecnica mista che unisce il bronzo e il ferro. In questa sede, si propone una rilettura dei dati alla luce dello studio di altri quattro strigili provenienti dalla necropoli metapontina di proprietà Giacovelli, finora inediti. L’analisi delle tecniche di fabbricazione ha rivelato l’esistenza di due gruppi distinti. Il primo gruppo è caratterizzato dal riutilizzo di strigili rotti o difettosi, ritagliati e assemblati tra loro con l’uso di rivetti o a incastro. Il secondo gruppo, attestato in forma ridotta, consta di esemplari in ferro riparati con l’applicazione di elementi laminari in bronzo sulle parti danneggiate. Le osservazioni sulla cronologia dei contesti di provenienza degli strigili inediti, ricostruita sulla base degli elementi ceramici del corredo, confermano solo parzialmente quanto già evidenziato dalla letteratura precedente, che colloca questi strigili tra il 350 e il 300 a.C.
Archaeological research in Lucania has brought to light four strigils made in a mixed technique combining bronze and iron. Here we propose a reinterpretation of the data in the light of the study of four other unpublished strigils from the necropolis of Crucinia (“proprietà Giacovelli”). The analysis of the manufacturing techniques revealed the existence of two distinct groups. The first group is characterized by the reuse of broken or defective strigils, cut out and joined together using rivets or interlocking. The second group, present in a reduced form, consists of iron specimens repaired by applying bronze laminar elements to the damaged parts. Observations on the chronology of the contexts of these unpublished strigils, reconstructed from the pottery found inside the tomb, only partially confirm what has already been shown in previous literature, which places these strigils between 350 and 300 BC.

Challenges Honeybees May Experience in the Face of Climate Change
Authors: Zulkadir Gulay
Published: September 2024

Climate change observed as a result of global warming changes the phenology of many living species. The sustainability of the reactions of organisms interacting with each other is impaired due to the inability to maintain synchronization between them. The quantity, diversity and functionality of bees, which have a very important place especially in terms of pollination of wild plants and agricultural products, are negatively affected. Higher temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, increased weather extremes and range shifts undermine bee health through mechanisms such as altered phenology, reduced foraging, worsening disease effects and exposure to pesticides. Our study provides a general evaluation of how climate change can affect the phenology of both plants and bees, and what can be taken into consideration to overcome the problems experienced.
Biological Resources and Chemical Drugs Used Bee Diseases
Authors: Izol Ebubekir
Published: September 2024

The diagnosis and treatment of bee diseases are very significant. Nowadays, mass deaths of bees in the form of colonies are occurring, and permanent solutions to these deaths are sought. The use of chemicals is not recommended due to their harmful effects. Especially, the use of antibiotics is prohibited because they cause residues in bee products and bees. However, it is a fact that beekeepers use them to prevent bee deaths. For this reason, scientific studies are being carried out to produce natural products and to find solutions to bee diseases with these products. For this reason, in this chapter, general definitions of bee diseases and chemicals and biological natural products used in bee diseases are explained.
American Foulbrood
Authors: Borum Ayse Ebru
Published: September 2024

American Foulbrood (AFB) is one of the most important infections affecting all life stages of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) brood. It is a infection that can be seen at any time of the year when honey bee brood is present. The causative agent of the disease is Paenibacillus larvae (P.larvae), a spore-forming. AFB is the most devastating bacterial infection of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) (1). Infection is not only dangerous and lethal for honey bee larvae. Loss of offspring due to increased egg-laying activity in the colony can no longer be replaced by the queen bee. As a result, the population decreases, which can lead to the collapse of the whole colony. The number of adult bees in the colony constantly decreases and the colony strength decreases.
Laboratory Diagnosis of Viral Honey Bee Diseases
Authors: Gurcay Metin
Published: September 2024

Viral honey bee diseases show disease-specific symptoms in bees and therefore in colonies, depending on the characteristics of the causative agent of the disease in bee colonies. Based on these symptoms, doctors cannot name the disease. In order to name the disease, serious observations must be made on bee colonies and bees, appropriate bee samples must be sampled, and it must be carefully examined whether the colonies are affected by the environmental conditions in the environment. In line with this information, a protocol document should be prepared for the colony and the name of the viral agent that is effective on the honey bee colony and suspected by the physician should be determined and the dead bees or honeycomb pieces sampled from the colony should be sent to the cold chain laboratory. In this way, the name of the viral disease agent is determined only from the appropriate samples sent to the laboratory. Once the viral agents of honey bee diseases are identified, protection and control procedures should be started. Therefore, laboratory diagnosis is important in viral honey bee diseases.

Objective: The competence of nurse managers is essential to ensure outstanding patient care and the key contributors to the healthcare organization’s success. This study aimed to adapt the Chase Nurse Manager Competency Instrument (CNMCI) to Vietnamese situations and then to examine the leadership, management, and related characteristics of nurse managers. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 17 Children and Obstetric and Pediatric hospitals in northern and central area of Vietnam using the CNMCI. Nurse managers (n=227) who were working in these hospitals participated in this study. Data were collected from July 2022 to August 2022. Results: Nurse managers had 3.51 ± 0.42  level of knowledge and 2.95 ± 0.48 level of ability to apply leadership and management competencies. However, only level of hospital and number of employees were significant related factors of leadership and management competencies of nurse manager. Conclusion: This study was the first in Vietnam which we examined the leadership competencies of nurse managers in Obstetric and Pediatric Hospitals. The results suggested that Vietnamese version of CNMCI was a reliable, valid instrument to assess competencies of nurse managers. It is necessary to have an effective leadership and manager training program to improve the competencies of nurse managers.

Published: September 2024

Introduction Gestational diabetes is known as a pathology that appears during pregnancy, accompanied by changes not only in the health of the mother, but also in the growth and intrauterine development of the child from its first weeks. The factors that influence the appearance of this pathology are different. In fact, in the last 10 years, an increase in obesity has been noticed, which is one of the most important in the group of risk factors for diabetes. This increase comes not only from malnutrition but also from the lifestyle and work of women in our country. Objective: The role played by obesity in the occurrence of changes in fast glycaemia levels in pregnant women, predisposed or diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Methodology. After the primary processing of the data obtained from the patients, the pregnant women who had monitored their pregnancy for at least 7 months at least with the body mass index (BMI) and with the fast glycaemi values were selected. The data were processed in 2*2 statistical tables, where the selected number of participants with prediabetes or gestational diabetes was associated with a risk factor: weight, to analyze the respective data in our population. Results. In about 176 patients with GE changes, statistically significant changes were observed in the group with maternal obesity. The number of obese patients in the group that had changes in glycemic levels was 3 times higher. During the second trimester, the entire group that ended the pregnancy within the 22-24th week for fetal reasons, was assessed to have changes in fast glycemic levels, which varied in the values of prediabetes and gestational diabetes. Also, within the same group with DG, women with high BMI have a higher risk of developing various pregnancy complications, especially during the third trimester.
Physiological Mechanisms of The Relationship Between Memory, Attention, and Arousal in Children Diagnosed with Autism
Authors: Natavan Karamova , Aferin Abbasova , Almara Malikova , Ahmet Atik
Published: September 2024

Autism is a developmental disorder with an early onset and lifelong duration that impairs social interaction and communication, with the condition being repeatedly diagnosed. To gain scientific knowledge about autism, one must observe these patients, perform a series of investigations and examinations, and finally obtain a general title. The first stage of getting to know children diagnosed with autism is one of the most important conditions for studying their psychology and inner world. Therefore, studying the psychology of children diagnosed with autism is also considered a responsible task for psychologists. The article presents the results of assessing the level of anxiety, stress, depression, attention and memory indicators in children with autism, which is an actual problem in recent times, in different age groups.
The studies were conducted at two different locations: the Special Support, Special Training and Rehabilitation Centre (Tatvan district of Bitlis, Turkey) and the Psychological Centre Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Development Centre “PRIM” (Baku, Azerbaijan). Conducting studies in two different regions will reveal whether there is a difference between patients diagnosed with autism. The study examined children diagnosed with autism aged 6-12 years of both sexes (44 in Turkey; 51 in Azerbaijan). The results obtained in the study were compared with normal test limits. Psychological testing was conducted on an individual basis, and for the comprehensive study, the same child was tested repeatedly, with a certain frequency and with special attention. Although more boys than girls were included in the confirmed cases, since the aim was not to study gender differences, care was taken to obtain generalisable results.
The attempt to clarify a complex topic such as stress in a broad topic such as autism characterises a very complex situation. Therefore, we have endeavoured to obtain more accurate results through the use of comprehensive tests.
The main objective of the research work is to obtain certain results by using comprehensive psychological research methods in determining the level of stress and anxiety in children diagnosed with autism and to study the main characteristics of autism by comparing them with psychological indicators considered within the normal range.
The results of studies conducted in Turkey and Azerbaijan showed the presence of low levels of attention and memory processes, behavioural disorders, aggressive and depressive behaviour in all age groups against the background of increased arousal. Children diagnosed with autism exhibit similar symptoms regardless of their geographical location, indicating that this disease has common characteristics regardless of national, racial, religious, and regional peculiarities.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Hypertension is a major global health issue, significantly contributing to the burden of cardiovascular diseases, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Malawi. Caregivers play a crucial role in managing hypertension in these settings, yet their knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) are not well-documented.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of caregivers for hypertensive patients in rural Malawi, as well as to identify any disparities in these areas.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2023 to February 2024 at Lisungwi Community Hospital and Neno District Hospital in Neno, Malawi. A total of 422 caregivers were conveniently sampled, with 248 from Lisungwi and 174 from Neno. Data were collected using a validated pre-tested questionnaire, assessing KAP on hypertension. Descriptive, one-way ANOVA and linear regression statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 22.0.  
Results: In both Lisungwi and Neno hospitals, the majority of participants were female, accounting for 63.7% and 62.6%, respectively. The mean age of participants was 44.7 years (± 10.3) in Lisungwi and 45.3 years (± 9.3) in Neno, with average care durations of 4.1 years (± 3.3) and 4.2 years (± 3.2). Notably, 94.4% of caregivers at Lisungwi and 94.3% at Neno exhibited poor knowledge of hypertension; however, all caregivers maintained a positive attitude toward its prevention and management. Significant differences in practice scores were observed (p < 0.001), with caregivers in Lisungwi performing better. Additionally, factors such as education, age, and occupation influenced Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) scores, while gender impacted practices alone.
Conclusions: The findings of poor knowledge highlight the urgent need for enhanced educational interventions, gender-specific support, community engagement, and a context-specific approach to improve the knowledge and practices of caregivers, which are critical for effective hypertension prevention and management in rural setting.

In November 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT, a groundbreaking AI language model designed to simulate human conversation through deep learning techniques. AI technologies like ChatGPT have demonstrated broad applicability in areas such as customer service, content creation, and language translation. Despite their transformative potential, ethical concerns have emerged, particularly within public health research. The COVID-19 pandemic saw AI’s widespread use in accelerating research; however, it also contributed to a spike in retractions due to issues such as biased data and improper model validations. The rapid adoption of AI in public health raised questions about transparency, bias, and accountability, with several studies being retracted for unethical practices. The ethical challenges surrounding AI in public health research underscore the need for stronger oversight, accountability, and ethical frameworks to ensure its responsible use. This paper explores the ethical implications of AI in public health by analyzing retracted studies during the pandemic and highlights the importance of governance, workforce training, and public engagement in mitigating these risks. Addressing these challenges will be key to leveraging AI’s potential while ensuring it upholds the integrity and reliability of scientific research.

The rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration poses significant environmental challenges, including global warming and associated climate change. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising materials for addressing and mitigating CO2 levels due to their high surface area, tunable pore sizes, and customizable metal nodes. This review focuses on the influence of metal selection and MOF composites on the efficiency and stability of MOFs in CO2 photoreduction reactions. The findings underscore the potential of MOF-based catalysts in developing sustainable solutions for CO2 reduction, offering a pathway to mitigate environmental impacts while advancing renewable energy technologies.
Exploring the Effect of Music on Focus and Attention
Authors: Morell Camylla
Published: September 2024

The impact music has on focus and memory have been studied with a number of different factors. With the arrival of Mozart Theory and other hypotheses, this topic has been seen from a different angle, that is an indirect effect. In this paper, we will discuss the impact that different types of music have on various factors such as memory, attention, focus, and cognitive performance. We expected to find that the lyrics and rhythm of the song are the most impactful part of the song. Secondly, we will get this information by reviewing different studies related to the topic. This literature review revealed the varying effects that music has on memory and focus while studying. Furthermore, this variability is largely attributed to the tempo and presence of lyrics. As a result, some studies show that music is linked to the prevention of mind wandering and can indirectly help focus by increasing mood. In contrast, another study reported that music in general, especially with lyrics is detrimental to attention and focus.
