Published: October 2024

Tindakan anestesi khususnya general anestesi inhalasi mempunyai risiko yang cukup besar mengalami desaturasi atau penurunan saturasi oksigen dari nilai normal. Saturasi oksigen adalah presentasi total oksigen dalam darah yang terikat oleh hemoglobin atau jumlah oksigen yang diangkut oleh hemoglobin (Malawat & Cahyadi, 2018). Saturasi oksigen pasca anestesi, khususnya anestesi umum inhalasi juga sangat berpengaruh pada keadaan sistem kesehatan paru. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengidentifikasi karakteristik saturasi oksigen pada pasien perokok pasca anestesi umum berdasarkan usia, durasi operasi dan frekuensi perokok. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian observasional analitik. Teknik sampling pada penelitian ini menggunakan teknik non-probability sampling dengan teknik consecutive sampling. Populasi penelitian 75 responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berdasarkan usia responden dewasa awal memiliki nilai kategori saturasi oksigen Normal terdapat 17 responden (22,7%) dan pada lansia akhir memiliki nilai kategori saturasi oksigen Hipoksia terdapat 5 responden (6,7%). Berdasarkan durasi operasi kecil nilai kategori saturasi oksigen Normal terdapat 44 responden (58,7%). Untuk kategori saturasi oksigen Hipoksia keduanya memiliki kejadian hipoksia yang sama yaitu 3 responden (4%) operasi kecil dan 3 responden (4%) operasi sedang. Berdasarkan frekuensi perokok pada perokok ringan nilai kategori saturasi oksigen Normal terdapat 53 responden (70,7%) dan perokok sedang nilai kategori saturasi oksigen Hipoksia terdapat 6 responden (8%).

The Laughter That Kills: A Critical Look at Black Comedy in Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five
Authors: Zamani Alavijeh Hossein
Published: October 2024

Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five employs black humour as a potent tool to critique the absurdities and horrors of war. By exploring the intricate relationship between Vonnegut's writing techniques and the representation of war in his novel, the present article questions the proposition that black comedy could effectively instigate significant social or political change, arguing that despite its potential for critique, humour may inadvertently blur the lines between dissent and complicity, encouraging passive spectatorship rather than active moral engagement. We aim to demonstrate that while black comedy provides a powerful tool for grappling with the absurdity of war, its use also risks trivializing the profound moral and existential implications of conflict. This may undercut the urgency of its anti-war message, foster a distorted understanding of human condition and create a dissonance between the absurdity of war and the gravity of its consequences. Ultimately, it may even frame suffering as a source of amusement.

Existential Buddhism: embracing life's uncertainties and finding meaning within
Authors: Amathabhani Buthkande , Dissanayake Nilantha
Published: October 2024

This study explores the profound questions surrounding the pursuit of Nirvana in Buddhism, examining whether it arises from the cycle of rebirth, present suffering, or future pain as depicted in early Buddhist scriptures. It also investigates the potential convergence of Buddhism with existentialism, a philosophy emphasizing individual experience, freedom, responsibility, and life’s inherent uncertainties. The primary inquiry examines whether Buddhism can harmonize with existentialist perspectives, which emphasize individuality amidst life’s enigmas. This research comprehensively investigates the reasons driving individuals in mainstream Buddhism to seek Nirvana, delving into their quest for liberation, and emphasizes the existential essence of Buddhism. Finally, It explores the plausibility of an alternative form of Buddhism that incorporates existential philosophy. Using a literature analysis approach with a thematic focus, this study critically examines the writings of prominent Buddhist scholars, existential philosophers, and researchers on the intersection of Buddhism and existentialism. The analysis reveals that Buddhists aspire for Nirvana to escape the cycle of suffering and find solace and serenity. Moreover, the juxtaposition of Buddhism and existentialism offers a fresh perspective, highlighting individual autonomy and choice in confronting life’s complexities, and providing an early Buddhist account of existential nature. By deepening the understanding of how mindfulness and meditation connect to core Buddhist principles, this research fosters more authentic engagement with Buddhist practices, enriching personal well-being. This research has vital implications for understanding the pursuit of meaning and liberation from suffering amidst life’s chaos, challenging conventional perceptions of Buddhism, and elucidating potential alignments with existential thought, inviting further research.
Emotional intelligence and knowledge-sharing behavior: exploring the dynamics of emotional intelligence on knowledge exchange among filipino academics
Authors: Berjes Jony V. , Prado Nenita I.
Published: October 2024

The increasing complexity of academia and the growing recognition of knowledge as a critical organizational asset have put knowledge-sharing behavior at the forefront of research and practice. This study investigates the relationship between emotional intelligence and knowledge-sharing behaviors of 167 academicians from public higher education institutions in the Philippines. The researchers utilized a descriptive-correlational research design, employing Pearson product-moment correlation to establish the relationship between the variables. Results of the study show that most academicians have average emotional intelligence, which may impact sharing their knowledge with their peers and the rest of the academic community. As to their knowledge-sharing behaviors, academicians convey their thoughts and expertise to their departments and colleagues, but their publications and knowledge-building contributions to the community remain insignificant. The study also indicates that academicians' knowledge-sharing behavior is associated with their emotional intelligence. These results have implications for individual academicians and institutional management, as they can improve their professional development, leadership, and teamwork.
Modelado virtual de motor Stirling Alfa
Authors: Ramos José Andrés Yáñez , Espinosa José Roberto Yáñez , Contreras Hugo A. Morales , Gómez Tomás Fernández , Huerta Eduardo Jhadai Martínez
Published: October 2024

El Motor Stirling fue inventado en 1816 por Robert Stirling, reverendo escocés. El objetivo era tener un motor menos peligroso que la máquina de vapor. El principio de funcionamiento es el trabajo hecho por la expansión y contracción de un gas (normalmente helio, hidrógeno, nitrógeno o simplemente aire) al ser obligado a seguir un ciclo de enfriamiento, con lo cual se contrae, y de calentamiento en un foco caliente, con lo cual se expande. El motor Stirling tiene el potencial de alcanzar el rendimiento de Carnot, lo cual le permite, teóricamente, alcanzar el límite máximo de rendimiento. El motor opera con una fuente de calor externa que puede ser incluso solar o nuclear y un sumidero de calor, la diferencia de temperaturas entre ambas fuentes debe ser grande. En el proceso de conversión del calor en trabajo el motor de Stirling alcanza un rendimiento superior a cualquier otro motor real.
Challenges of adhering to scientific research ethics in the artificial intelligence applications- a study on a sample of algerian researchers
Authors: Sara Belmir , Aida Daira
Published: October 2024

This study aims to explore the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the accuracy and efficiency of scientific research, while focusing on the ethical challenges associated with it. It also seeks to assess the level of awareness of AI ethics among Algerian researchers and the adequacy of current policies in dealing with these challenges, such as issues of plagiarism, privacy violation, and biased results. This will provide a deeper understanding of the reality of scientific research in Algeria in light of rapid technological developments. An electronic questionnaire was used, targeting a group of Algerian researchers, reaching a sample size of 623 individuals. Through this questionnaire, we aimed to collect data that would enable us to provide recommendations to enhance the responsible and ethical use of AI tools while maintaining the integrity and reliability of scientific research. The study found that the respondents demonstrated varying levels of awareness of the ethical implications of using AI in their research, with a lack of adequate training and resources to help researchers deal with the ethical complexities of AI-based research. The study also confirms that current ethical policies and regulations in Algeria are insufficient to effectively address the challenges posed by AI. This calls for the establishment of a comprehensive legal framework in the near future and the updating of ethical guidelines to regulate the use of AI in academic research.

Authors: Cruciat Robert Cristian , Gazi Gabi , Leucuta Daniel-Corneliu , Popa Stefan-Lucian , Ismaiel Abdulrahman
Published: October 2024

Background: Numerous studies have investigated the function of the biomarker uromodulin (UMD), which has shown promise in the diagnosis and severity assessment of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the results continue to be contradictory and inconclusive. Consequently, our goal was to investigate the connection between UMD and CKD patients, with a focus on their diagnostic utility and association with the severity of CKD based on the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) classification. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus using a predefined string to identify relevant studies. Included studies diagnosed CKD based on GFR according to Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative KDOQI guidelines or by calculating eGFR using the MDRD formula, meeting predefined criteria. Quality assessment was conducted using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS). The main outcome was the mean difference (MD) in serum UMD levels across CKD stages. Results: A total of 5 articles involving 1,094 subjects fulfilled our inclusion criteria and were included in our systematic review and meta-analysis. Significant differences in UMD levels were observed across multiple comparisons. When comparing CKD patients to controls, UMD levels showed a substantial MD of –115.719 (95% CI –163.297, -68.141). Similarly, UMD levels exhibited significant MDs when comparing controls vs. CKD 1 71.185 (95% CI 39.572, 102.798), controls vs. CKD 2 81.531 (95% CI 40.570, 122.491), controls vs. CKD 3 130.886 (95% CI 99.095, 162.677), controls vs. CKD 4 180.317 (95% CI 141.373, 219.262), controls vs. CKD 5 198.033 (95% CI 155.573, 240.494) and CKD 1-2-3 vs. CKD 4-5 89.540 (95% CI 47.561, 131.518). Conclusions: In conclusion, our systematic review and meta-analysis highlights pronounced differences in UMD levels across multiple comparisons in CKD. When comparing CKD patients with controls, a significant decrease in UMD levels is evident, indicative of potential implications in renal pathology. Moreover, the observed variations in UMD levels between different CKD stages underscore its potential utility as a biomarker for disease severity and progression. These findings contribute to our understanding of UMD dynamics in CKD and suggest avenues for further research into its diagnostic and prognostic significance in clinical practice.

Cultural Crisis During the Pandemic and Its Reflection in Georgian and American Print Media
Authors: Tsereteli Asmat
Published: October 2024

The pandemic became the defining event of early 2020, impacting culture as well as all other areas of life. It emerged as the main architect, artist, director of silence, and dramatist of emptiness. It brought different cities around the world closer together and made them similar with empty streets and a slower pace of life. The pandemic placed new demands on many fields of art; it was a "timeout" for both the world and culture. In some places, art adapted to open spaces, but even in this openness, creative energy remained constrained, and much of what was expressed could not be fully articulated. There were instances where the pandemic became a source of "inspiration" for some artists, prompting them to compose original music, create new works of art, or transition to the online space, finding new ways to use this platform. Covid-19, which suddenly struck the world, drastically changed the global agenda. New regulations were imposed, the usual way of life was disrupted, and the world was unprepared for many of the challenges it faced. Before scientists and researchers could develop effective methods to combat the coronavirus, humanity had already shifted to a remote format. In this paper, we will explore the impact of the pandemic on art and how this period was reflected in print media, using the example of Georgian and American magazines such as "Teatri," "Aril," "Art in America," and "ARTFORUM".

Authors: Е.С. Замбржицкая , Д.Н. Аревкин
Published: October 2024

В статье разработан методический инструментарий, позволяющий управлять наполнения детских развлекательных центров путем моделирования различных вариантов сочетания франшиз и выбора из них наиболее оптимального. Понятие оптимума предложено определять исходя из максимизации совокупного чистого маржинального дохода. Указанный показатель является принципиальным с точки зрения принятия решения об инвестировании денежных средств в те или иные развлекательные франшизы, так как позволяет оценить совокупный экономический эффект, предусматривает возможность моделирования, учитывает жизненный цикл, а также делает привязку к конкретному населенному пункту через оценку посещаемости. Предложенный подход позволит повысить качество информационной поддержки управленческих решений, сделав их более обоснованными с экономической точки зрения, что в свою очередь приведет к повышению финансового результата и снижению риска принятия необоснованных управленческих решений. Важным является тот факт, что заявленный инструментарий оптимизационного моделирования может эффективно использоваться как для стратегических, так и операционных маркетинговых решений в части управления портфелем франшиз для условий детского развлекательного центра, что существенно повышает его ценность с точки зрения менеджмента компании.

The authors of the article have developed a methodological toolkit that allows managing the occupancy of children’s entertainment facilities by modeling various options for combining franchises and choosing the most optimal one. It is proposed to formulate the concept of optimum based on maximizing the total net marginal income. This indicator is fundamental in terms of making a decision on investing funds in certain entertainment franchises, since it allows assessing the total economic effect, provides for the possibility of modeling, takes into account the life cycle, and also makes a link to a specific locality through attendance assessment. In general, it is obvious that the proposed approach will improve the quality of information support for management decisions, making them more justified from an economic point of view, which in turn will lead to an increase in the financial result and a decrease in the risk of making unjustified management decisions. It is important that the optimization modeling tools proposed by the authors of the article can be effectively used for both strategic and operational marketing decisions in terms of managing a portfolio of franchises in the context of a children’s entertainment center, which significantly increases its value from the point of view of company management.

Authors: А.С. Тхалиджоков
Published: October 2024

В статье систематизированы и обновлены научные знания по поводу понятия и сущности цифровой валюты центрального банка (ЦВЦБ, СВВС), обсуждено место CBDC среди цифровых- и криптовалют. Критически рассмотрено определение понятия цифровой валюты, приведенное в действующем законодательстве Российской Федерации. Проведено сравнение международных подходов к пониманию криптовалют в широком смысле, CBDC, токенизированных безналичных денег, частных необеспеченных криптовалют, стейблкоинов и цифровых валют в понимании действующего российского закона. Рассмотрена вариативность определений CBDC, представленных в консультативных докладах Банка России. Отмечена неопределенность в понимании CBDC и их места в комплексе цифровых финансов как в теории, так и на практике. Представлена авторская классификация современных цифровых платежно-расчетных инструментов. Предложено определение CBDC как цифровой формы государственной валюты, выпущенной и поддерживаемой центральным банком, использующей технологии распределенного реестра для обеспечения безопасности и эффективности транзакций, а также для улучшения монетарной политики и финансовой стабильности. Охарактеризованы аспекты, связанные с будущим CDBC, сделано предостережение о нецелесообразности допущения радикальных просчетов при практической реализации проектов цифрового рубля и дружественного цифрового юаня.

The article systematizes and updates scientific knowledge about the concept and essence of a central bank digital currency (CBDC), and discusses the place of CBDC among digital and cryptocurrencies. The definition of the concept of digital currency given in the current legislation of the Russian Federation is critically examined. A comparison is made of international approaches to understanding cryptocurrencies in a broad sense, CBDC, tokenized non-cash money, private unsecured cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and digital currencies in the understanding of the current Russian law. The variability of CBDC definitions presented in advisory reports of the Bank of Russia is considered. There is uncertainty in the understanding of CBDCs and their place in the digital finance complex, both in theory and in practice. The author’s classification of modern digital payment and settlement instruments is presented. A definition of CBDC is proposed as a digital form of government currency, issued, and maintained by a central bank, using distributed ledger technologies to ensure the security and efficiency of transactions, as well as to improve monetary policy and financial stability. Aspects related to the future of CDBC are characterized and a warning is made about the inappropriateness of making radical miscalculations in the practical implementation of digital rouble and friendly digital yuan projects.

В статье представлена методика оценки экономической безопасности субъектов малого и среднего предпринимательства во взаимосвязи с уровнем их конкурентоспособности, которая может быть адаптирована для мезо- и микроуровней и использована для сравнительного анализа уровня экономической безопасности субъектов малых и средних форм хозяйствования на всех уровнях. Разработанную методику от существующих отличает применение метода частотного анализа распределения индикаторов развития малого и среднего предпринимательства по зонам риска экономической безопасности, что позволяет выявить наиболее уязвимые направления и частоту их возникновения.

In the context of ensuring economic security, the issues of developing criteria and indicators that facilitate the timely identification of threats remain relevant. The article presents a methodology for assessing the economic security of small and medium-sized enterprises in relation to their level of competitiveness. This methodology can be adapted for meso- and micro-levels and used for comparative analysis of the economic security level of small and medium-sized business entities at all levels. The developed methodology differs from existing ones by using the method of frequency analysis of the distribution of SME development indicators across economic security risk zones, which allows identifying the most vulnerable areas and the frequency of their occurrence.

Uncertainties in the Contemporary Political Landscape of West Africa amidst Global and Regional Challenges
Authors: Terzungwe Daniel Kumafan , Ahmed Tijjani , Oluwaseun Owolabi Olayinka
Published: October 2024

Purpose: This paper analyzes the political instability in West Africa, exploring how historical legacies, military coups, and insurgent violence contribute to this instability. It also examines the role of external geopolitical influences and the limitations faced by regional organizations like ECOWAS in fostering stability.
Materials and Methods: The research adopts a historical and analytical approach, examining the colonial legacies, recent military coups in countries such as Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea, and the rise of armed insurgent groups. It also investigates the external influences           of powers like Russia and China, alongside regional efforts by ECOWAS to manage the political situation.
Findings: The research highlights that the persistence of military coups and insurgent violence is deeply rooted in the colonial past and exacerbated by weak democratic institutions. The resurgence of military coups underscores the fragility of governance in the region, while the proliferation of armed groups intensifies security threats. External geopolitical actors such as Russia and China have reshaped political alliances in the region, complicating ECOWAS' efforts to foster cooperation.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: To achieve lasting political stability, West Africa needs to strengthen its democratic institutions, promote regional cooperation, and develop more effective strategies to counteract both internal security threats and external geopolitical influences. ECOWAS must enhance its capacity to mediate conflicts and unify states amidst growing geopolitical divides.
