PURSUING CLAIMS FOR PRENATAL DAMAGE CAUSED BY POOR AIR QUALITY. PART 1: AN OUTLINE OF THE PROBLEM FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF POLISH LAW
Authors: Sobas Magdalena
Published: July 2024

The present article combines original and review research. It is an attempt to answer the question about whether there is a personal interest in the form of the right to a clean environment or the right to clean air. It also enquires whether, in the current legal situation, it would be possible to pursue compensation claims for an injury suffered at the prenatal stage caused by poor air quality. Moreover, the paper attempts to identify the right to the environment as a public subjective right and provides a discussion of the resolution of the Supreme Court of 28 May 2021 (III CZP 27/20). The study presents an original approach to the issue discussed. Its analysis is relevant due, in particular, to the still-growing problems of air pollution and smog and their impact on the development of a nasciturus, implying the question of the possibility of pursuing claims in this respect. The present article is an introduction to the topic (the first part of the discussion) and also analyses the legal bases of liability for damage suffered as a result of poor air quality. Moreover, it supplements the author’s doctoral thesis entitled Odpowiedzialność cywilnoprawna za szkody doznane przed urodzeniem (‘Civil Law Liability for Damage Suffered Before Birth’).

Authors: Mejía-Saldarriaga José Fabricio , Moreano-Alvarado Milton Enrique , Rodríguez-Gámez María
Published: July 2024

En el Ecuador predomina la particularidad del uso de vehículos a diésel y gasolina, en donde a la fecha se puede identificar una línea para el potencial uso de transporte eléctrico en el corto o mediano plazo. Si se considera que a nivel mundial el uso de vehículos eléctricos es la realidad del futuro, se debe pensar la posibilidad de que en Ecuador no debería ser la excepción, lo que requiere realizar la gestión correspondiente; sin embargo, para esto se necesitarán los debidos cambios de infraestructura, capacidad económica y sobre todo las políticas gubernamentales que den el aval y a la vez garanticen el éxito en este tipo de emprendimiento. El aporte de un análisis de marcos regulatorios internacionales permite incentivar a potenciar el uso del vehículo, bajo sólidas regulaciones propias del Ecuador. El objetivo fue comparar la regulación y legislación en Ecuador la de nivel mundial para la implementación de vehículos eléctricos. La metodología fue cualitativa, con diseño descriptivo y de tipo de revisión documental. Como resultados se obtuvo que, dentro de la legislación ecuatoriana en electricidad y medio ambiente, respaldada por la Ley de Eficiencia Energética, proporciona una base sólida para la transición hacia vehículos eléctricos en el país, donde se necesita políticas específicas y un marco regulatorio completo, similar al de países líderes como China e India.

Authors: Alshamrani Abdullah , Cameron M  , Alzobaidi Sultan , Khasawneh Eihab , Williams Brett
Published: July 2024

Introduction
Trauma is a major problem in Saudi Arabia and a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in young age groups. In 2018, road traffic injuries and trauma were the second-leading cause of death after ischaemic heart disease. There is a lack of research that explores the psychological effects on emergency medical service (EMS) professionals of providing the required pre-hospital care for trauma cases. This study aims to identify which trauma cases cause the most anxiety and concern among a group of EMS professionals. 
Methods
A study using a two-round Delphi method was undertaken online with EMS professionals working for the Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA) across the country. 
Results
The response rate was 70% (n=14) at the end of round two. All participants were male and the majority of professionals who participated were from the capital city, representing 36%. Most of the professionals held a bachelor’s degree as the highest level of education (78%). The initial round generated one item that achieved 70% of the consensus; however, the second round did not achieve any consensus. The overall top item for the trauma cases that caused the most anxiety and concern as identified by respondents was road traffic collision.
Conclusion
Road traffic collisions are a leading cause of death and based on the respondents’ agreement they cause paramedics the most anxiety and concern of the cases they attend.
Demonstration of Doppler Ultrasound Pulse Detection by Trained Prehospital Personnel
Authors: Martin Daniel
Published: July 2024

Background and Aim: Data suggests that finger palpation of the carotid and/or femoral pulses is significantly less sensitive than 100%. In some cases, a patient who does, in fact, have organized cardiac function, may be identified as being in Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA). Chest compressions performed as indicated by these circumstances may not provide significant therapeutic benefit to those patients and may, in fact, distract from better directed therapies. Doppler Ultrasonography (DUSG) has been shown to be more sensitive than human fingers. This research aims to assess whether EMT-Basics and Paramedics can be quickly and inexpensively trained to use DUSG as a tool for pulse detection.
Methods: Participants viewed a recorded video 4 minutes 18 seconds in length which detailed an anterior-to-posterior fanning technique for assessing presence of a carotid pulse using a doppler ultrasound device. The participants were given a short period of time to practice and familiarize themselves with the device. Participants were then timed while demonstrating application of ultrasound-conducting gel to a volunteer and using the device to detect a carotid pulse. The time recording ceased when the participant verbalized confirmation of the pulse, and their success or failure was annotated.
Results: Credentialed EMT-Basics and Paramedics, with minimal training, consistently demonstrated the ability to accurately and rapidly assess a carotid pulse using a doppler ultrasound device.
Conclusions: This research suggests that prehospital personnel can be efficiently trained to use available and inexpensive doppler ultrasound devices to determine cardiac pulse status. Furthermore, it suggests that the technique itself can be used to detect the carotid pulse quickly and accurately. Further research in patient care settings should be undertaken to evaluate the utility of doppler ultrasound devices in distinguishing PEA from Pseudo-PEA.
Assessment and Empirical Treatment of Chronic Abdominal Pain from Suspected Helicobacter Pylori Infection In a Remote Setting
Authors: Ferguson Sean
Published: July 2024

The prevalence of Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) remains globally high, with an estimated 50% of the words population believed to be infected. Despite the continually high incident rates of infection 90% of those infected remain asymptomatic. H.Pylori is a gram-negative, microaerophilic bacteria, mostly found in stomach of affected individuals that causes inflammation and ulceration. 
Definitive routes of transmission and subsequent infection are still debated. The most likely mechanism of transmission is thought to be intrafamilliar, this encapsulates fecal-oral, gastric-oral, oral-oral and sexual vectors. Contaminated foods and water sources are also highly likely mechanisms of transmission. Therefore in developing countries with poor sanitation, potentially contaminated water sources and regions with social-economic hardship experience increased symptomatic cases of H.Pylori.

Authors: Valeriano Vincent P. , Owens Karen , Rosner Jessica
Published: July 2024

Background: In the United States, research has found that emergency medical service (EMS) clinicians contemplate and attempt suicide at a rate approximately 10 times higher than the general population. However, prior to this study, no comprehensive data existed on the mental health status and needs of Virginia’s EMS clinicians.
Objective: To evaluate mental health conditions, substance use, COVID-19 stress, and job satisfaction among Virginia’s EMS clinicians and to assess the perceived mental health cultures, services, and barriers to seeking help within clinicians’ agencies.
Methods: The [redacted institution name] constructed a comprehensive EMS clinician mental health cross-sectional survey during the spring of 2022. The survey was sent to every certified EMS clinician over the age of 18 with a working email address within the Commonwealth (N=36,376) as of April 15, 2022.
Results: A total of 2,930 EMS clinicians who actively served in EMS within the past 12 months responded to the survey. On average, clinicians reported 9.9 days of perceived poor mental health out of a 30-day period, with 9.1% of clinicians seriously contemplating suicide within the past year. Almost 60% of respondents reported heavy alcohol consumption at least once in the year prior to the survey, while 6.5% had taken prescription drugs for non-medical reasons and 3.7% had used illegal drugs. Approximately 66% of clinicians felt the coronavirus pandemic increased workplace stress. More than half of respondents (57.3%) indicated they had intentions to quit working in EMS. Finally, 31.1% of clinicians disagreed or strongly disagreed that EMS clinician mental health is important to their agency.
Conclusion: Virginia’s EMS clinicians experience a greater number of perceived poor mental health days, higher levels of suicide contemplation, and increased substance use as compared to the general population. Further health promotion actions are needed to address these disparities among Virginia’s EMS clinicians.

Authors: Abdul Rahim Mohamad Fairuz , Nik Ahmad Ariff Nik Shahman , Mohammad Yusof Nur Athirah Diyana , Badke-Schaub Petra
Published: July 2024

Automotive design sketching is crucial in the creative process, especially during conceptual design, as it facilitates shared understanding among design teams. Despite its significance, there need to be more comprehensive review papers addressing automotive design sketching in team settings. This systematic review aims to bridge this gap by identifying trends and evidence related to automotive design sketching within team settings. Employing the ROSES review flow diagram, five electronic databases – Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, SAGE, and Google Scholar – were utilized to search for relevant literature. Among the 902 non-duplicated articles initially screened, 17 studies from the past decade (2013-2023) underwent a thorough review and were integrated into the analysis. The findings emphasize the importance of team sketching, highlighting collaboration, communication, and creativity as essential values for enhancing shared understanding and design outcomes within teams. Significantly, the review uncovered a shortage of articles in recent years that encompass all three elements within a single study. This paper highlights the critical role of sketching in team-based automotive design and advocates for further research to investigate collaboration, communication, and creativity comprehensively. This knowledge is valuable for automotive designers, teams, and the industry, emphasizing the need for holistic approaches to optimize design processes and foster innovation.
The artists’ colony of Ekensund
Authors: Heft Hendrik
Published: July 2024

The Museumsberg Flensburg, a museum for art and culture at the northern border of Germany, collects especially objects of fine art made around the Flensburg Fjord. The landscape at this part of the Baltic Sea is characterized by sandy beaches, forests which grow directly at the brink of the water and smooth rising hills. The specific profile of the region became popular among landscape painters in the late nineteenth century. They founded an artists’ colony and their paintings created and spread the image of this place. Today, visitors can experience this image, which is a suggestion of maritime lifestyle and the mixture of German and Danish culture, in the picture gallery at the Museumsberg. Even tourist agencies still use photos, films and other media to advertise the fjord as an idyllic paradise for outdoor activities. Telling the history of landscape painting at the Flensburg Fjord and how these artworks became an integral part of a museum collection reveals how the image of this region was born 150 years ago and developed until today.

Authors: Rikstad Gunhild , Jones Mari-Ana
Published: July 2024

“Can we make a TikTok about Grainnbergan? Or build it in Lego? Or make a puppet show?” asked excited students after visiting Grainnbergan, an abandoned homestead in Inderøy municipality in Norway. Employees from Museene Arven and students from the local school tested out participation and co-creation in a shared exploration of the historical site, with exciting results. Participation has been highlighted and mandated in schools and museums in recent years. Both, however, report misunderstandings and challenges (Jones 2022; Lynch 2011). More knowledge is needed about participation and co-creation in practice, and this article presents a retrospective analysis of the Grainnberganproject which provides some answers. Findings suggest that museums and schools have much to learn from each other and the students. There are important practical and structural aspects to consider, there is a need for shared understandings and the development of necessary competencies to work in co-creative partnerships.

Authors: He Yuanqi , Shi Xiaowen , Liu Yulin , Yuan Shuai , Wang Zhen
Published: July 2024

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) poses a significant threat to human health and safety, representing a coronary heart disease that can affect human life. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is considered the optimal method for saving the lives of AMI patients and optimizing treatment outcomes in emergency settings. However, over the years of research and clinical data, it has been observed that PCI also has certain limitations, such as the occurrence of a no-reflow phenomenon or the re-occlusion of small arteries in the distal myocardium by small thrombi. Therefore, based on recent research, this article aims to elaborate on the effectiveness and safety of the Guidezilla extension catheter in thrombus aspiration during percutaneous coronary intervention, while comparing it with traditional aspiration catheters. The objective is to provide clinicians with new treatment options and improve patient outcomes.

Save the Bank: Centralized Digital Bank — Centralization and Digitalization as Strategic Imperatives
Authors: Hu Bing
Published: July 2024

This thesis explores the transformation of traditional banks into centralized digital banking systems as a strategic response to the burgeoning challenges posed by decentralized finance (DeFi) technologies such as blockchain and cryptocurrencies. As these technologies disrupt traditional financial paradigms, offering more direct, efficient, and transparent financial services, traditional banks face increasing pressure to adapt and evolve. This work argues for the necessity and feasibility of centralized digital banking as a comprehensive countermeasure to DeFi. Through a detailed examination of current banking challenges, including inefficiencies in customer service, transaction processing, and compliance, the thesis proposes a model of banking that leverages centralization and digitalization to address these issues. The proposed model not only enhances operational efficiency and customer engagement but also fortifies the banks’ competitive edge in a digital economy. Furthermore, the thesis discusses the long-term implications of such transformations, predicting that centralized digital banks will not only coexist with DeFi platforms but may also lead the financial services industry by adopting innovative technologies that drive customer satisfaction and operational excellence. Recommendations are provided for both banks and policymakers to foster an environment conducive to the development of robust, secure, and customer-focused digital banking services. In summary, this thesis affirms that centralized digital banking is not merely a defensive strategy against the rise of DeFi but a forward-looking approach that will define the future of banking.

Authors: Gürel Musa , Bilgiseven Emre , Aktürk İlker , Yaman Ömer Miraç
Published: July 2024

Bu çalışma, madde kullanımının bireylerin günlük yaşam döngülerine, sosyal ilişkilerine ve mesleki performanslarına olan etkilerini incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışma, madde kullanımının günlük yaşamdaki yeri, kullanım öncesi ve sonrası bireylerde yaşanan değişimleri ve bireylerin ideal yaşam algılarında meydana gelen değişiklikleri ortaya çıkarmayı hedeflemektedir. Nitel araştırma yöntemiyle 17 katılımcıyla yarı yapılandırılmış mülakatlar kullanılarak veriler elde edilmiştir. Katılımcılarla yapılan görüşmelerde, madde kullanımının günlük yaşam ve rutinlere etkisi, sosyal ve mesleki yaşamdaki rolü, zaman ve mekân boyutları, fiziksel ve duygusal duruma etkisi ve ideal yaşam tasavvuru şeklinde beş ana tema ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu temaların analiziyle ortaya çıkan araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre; madde kullanımının bireylerin kişisel özgünlüklerini ve toplumdaki işlevlerini ciddi şekilde kısıtladığını, madde kullanımı öncesi ve sonrasındaki duygusal geçişlerin bireyin psikolojik ve sosyal hayatında derin olumsuz etkilere neden olduğu, sosyal ve mesleki rollerinde performans düşüklüğü yaşattığı, kullanım sonrası işten ayrılmaların arttığı ve sosyal ilişkilerin zayıfladığı görülmektedir. Ayrıca sağlık durumu ve kişisel bakım ihmal edilmekte, bu durum günlük yaşamlarını, sosyal ve aile ilişkilerini derinden etkilemektedir. Genel olarak, madde kullanımının bireylerin günlük yaşam rutinlerinin merkezinde olduğu ve bunun sonucunda aile, arkadaş ve sosyal faaliyetlere katılımın azaldığı görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda, sosyal destek sistemlerinin etkinliklerinin gözden geçirilmesi ve bireylerin günlük yaşam rutinlerine uyum sağlayacak şekilde müdahalelerin tasarlanması gerekmektedir.

Due to the increase in the cost of production and the environmental pollution caused by the effluents of the oil palm industry, environmentally friendly solutions are being sought. The objective of the research was to evaluate Accelerated Organic Liquid Fertilizer (ALOA) from palm industry effluents, through homolactic biofermentation processes. Five treatments were evaluated: T1 (80% florentine effluent+10% garlac+10% molasses), T2 (80% overflow effluent+10% garlac+10% molasses), T3 (40% florentine effluent+40% of overflow effluent+10% garlac+10% molasses), T4 (70% of florentino effluent+10% palm kernel+10% garlac + 10% molasses) and T5 (70% of overflow effluent+10% palm kernel+10% garlac+10% molasses), under a Complete Randomized Design (RCD), with four repetitions. The T4 obtained the best result with 4.3 pH, 28.54 dS*m-1 in Electrical Conductivity (EC) and the highest content of nitrogen (9560.46 mg*L-1), phosphorus (1620.79 mg*L-1), potassium (6787.50 mg*L-1), organic matter 262.01 g*L-1 and total solids 302.80 g*L-1. Preparing an ALOA from the Florentine effluent, overflow and palm kernel from the oil palm industry is an alternative to reduce environmental pollution.

The present research sought to identify and determine the psychological consequences of stress in women through a systematic review. According to data extracted from the Portal Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal del Perú in 2020, during the COVID-19 confinement there is an increase in Mixed Anxiety and Depression Disorder with 29.31%, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder 4.47%, adjustment disorder with 14.47%, stress-related problems, not classified elsewhere with 15.57%. In Peru: the psychological consequences correspond to the fact that pregnant women have depression in 29.31%, post-traumatic stress disorder in 4.47%, adjustment disorder in 14.47%, stress-related problems, and those not classified elsewhere in 15.57%. It is concluded that there was an increase in the psychological consequences of stress in pregnant women due to social isolation, since pregnant women were deprived of the activities they carried out, even more so due to the emotional and physical changes that occur during their stage.
Ensemble Learning-based Multiple Sclerosis Detection Technique Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Authors: Ismail Khaled Abdrabou Abdrabou , Dutta Ashit Kumar , Sait Abdul Rahaman Wahab
Published: July 2024

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complicated neurological disorder that leads to demyelination of nerve fibers in the central nervous system, causing severe symptoms and gradual impairment. Prompt and precise diagnosis of MS is essential for prompt intervention and individualized treatment planning. This research presents a new method for detecting MS: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. Utilizing current progress in deep learning and ensemble learning methodologies, we use SWIN transformer and MobileNetV3-small for extracting features from MRI images. These features are then used for classification using CatBoost, XGBoost, and random forest algorithms. The suggested framework is tested and confirmed effective using the Kaggle MS database, which consists of various MRI images. The experimental findings show a remarkable average accuracy of 99.8% and a little loss of 0.07, highlighting the effectiveness of the suggested strategy in discriminating between aberrant and normal MRI pictures that indicate MS. This study enhances the field of medical image analysis by providing a precise and effective framework for automated diagnosis of MS. This framework has the potential to enhance diagnostic efficiency and improve patient outcomes. Combining deep learning feature extraction with ensemble classifiers offers a robust and easily understandable approach for diagnosing MS and has the potential to be used in clinical settings. Future research should prioritize validating the suggested technique on more extensive datasets and incorporating it into clinical practice to enhance early identification of MS and provide individualized patient treatment.

Published: July 2024

The emergence of new technologies in agriculture food has increased significantly in recent years and is concentrated in a small number of countries, institutes and discipline. The findings enable the identification of paradigm shifts and the consolidation of different scientific domains. It is easy to see that robotics, automation and artificial intelligence are gaining momentum and that genomics and biotechnology are losing momentum, and genetic improvement is losing momentum. There is little research on economic and social analysis, and their relationship with the environment. Technological advances in agriculture have led to the integration of more efficient firms that have transformed the sector into a more vertically integrated production and quality oriented business. One of the relevant field of technology is artificial intelligence, which is changing the way we consume and use resources in agriculture. The power of nanotechnology have been demonstrated in nearly every area we can think of. But today, nanotechnology has comes of age in a real sense by making a significant contribution to the food sector with the increasing number of people needing nourishment, food production cannot keep up food must be preserved to reach people around the world.

An Analysis of voicelessness of the Indian women in water and God of small things
Authors: Rasheed Mahnoor
Published: July 2024

This study attempts to investigate Bapsi Sidhwa's Water and Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things through the lens of the Muted Group Theory. During the post- and pro-independence era, the subdominant groups were repressed and muted at the hands of the dominant groups. This discriminatory approach of Indian institutionalized society forced the muted groups to endure exploitation and suppression. This study highlights the factual truth, about the hypocritical and hierarchal Indian-subcontinent society and seeks to investigate the presence of the muted voices in Roy and Sidhwa's texts. This research examines muteness as a broader phenomenon, which is only not restricted to women in these selected texts. This research employs the Muted Group Theory to deal with the muted groups' muteness. Shirley Ardener and Edwin Ardener coined the term Muted Group Theory in 1975. The Muted Group Theory portrays that society is under the control of dominant groups. This research adopts the Thematic analysis, and themes play a significant role in organizing data. The study of the texts reveals that the Muted Group Theory allows Roy and Sidhwa's mute and marginalized characters to accept their significance and consider themselves valuable entities of Indian-subcontinent society.
