Authors: Kolawole Joseph Seun , Alabi Adeyemi Wasiu
Published: June 2024

The persistent decline in the value of quoted consumer goods manufacturing companies in Nigeria from 2012 to 2021 served as the impetus for this study, which sought to explore the influence of employee diversity on the value of listed consumer goods manufacturing firms in the country. Specifically, the study investigated the impact of employee gender diversity, physical disability diversity, and race and cultural diversity on firm value. Employing ex-post facto methodology, the study centred on twenty-two consumer goods manufacturing firms listed on the Nigeria Exchange (NGX) as of December 31, 2021, representing both the population and sample. Data spanning from 2012 to 2021 were collected from the published reports of these firms and subjected to analysis, using descriptive statistics and panel regression. The findings revealed that employee gender diversity and physical disability diversity exerted significant positive effects on firm value, while the influence of employee race and cultural diversity was found to be insignificantly positive. As a result, the study concluded that the value of consumer goods manufacturing firms in Nigeria is influenced by employee diversity. To capitalize on these findings, the study recommended that such firms should embrace workforce diversity strategies and ensure transparent disclosure of employee information in their financial statements.

Integration Process in Central Asia: The Interaction of Nationalism and Regionalism
Authors: Cao Huan
Published: June 2024

After the end of the cold war, Central Asia reappeared in the international community's view and became an important region in geopolitics. The independent Central Asian States have begun to seek regional cooperation in order to maintain regional security and stability and develop their national economies. But so far, the process of integration in Central Asia has been tortuous and slow. The Central Asian region has even been described by some scholars as the region with the lowest degree of regionalization in the world. By sorting out the history of the development of ethnicity and nationalism in Central Asia, this paper analyzes the reasons hindering the development of regional integration in Central Asia from the perspective of the interaction between nationalism and regionalism. The methodological basis of the paper is a synthesis of methodological regionalism and methodological nationalism. The paper argues that ethnic problems and nationalism in Central Asia constrain the formation of the concept of regional identity. At the same time, regionalism in Central Asia has triggered concerns of Central Asian nation-states about the loss of sovereignty of some states and state nationalism. The interaction of the two factors ultimately negatively affected the development of integration in Central Asia.

Published: June 2024

This study delves into the efficacy of collaborative learning (CL) in nurturing critical thinking, bolstering reading comprehension, and fostering effective communication within diverse educational settings. It further investigates the constructive role of task-based learning teaching (TBLT) in elucidating learning objectives, bolstering motivation, and refining analytical reading and writing proficiencies. Drawing upon social constructivism and language acquisition theory, the research proposes an integrated instructional approach that melds CL with TBLT to cultivate vocational students' analytical reading and writing skills. This instructional methodology comprises nine sequential steps: establishing learning objectives, task selection, group formation, task clarification, provision of resources and support, supervision, encouragement of interaction, assessment of learning outcomes, and iterative adjustment. Moreover, the study underscores the imperative of tailoring English language pedagogies to suit the unique requirements of non-English speaking contexts. Instructional strategies which integrate CL with TBLT are theorized to be effective in promoting analytical reading and writing skills in vocational students. The study emphasize the adaptation of teaching strategies to diverse linguistic contexts, and promoting inclusive learning environments tailored to non-English speaking countries' needs.
Daddy-Daughter, Hitler-Jews in Sylvia Plath’s Poetry: Exploring Paternal Influence and Holocaust Imagery
Authors: Nazki Dr. Sameeul Haq
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the metaphorical connections between the Daddy-Daughter relationship and the Hitler-Jews dynamic in Sylvia Plath’s poetry. Plath is renowned for her evocative and melancholic poetry, which explores intricate topics of Holocaust imagery and paternal influence. The purpose of this research is to examine the complex interactions between historical trauma, familial ties, and individual suffering in Plath’s poetry. Plath’s confessional technique allows her to infuse her very personal issues with wider socio-political implications. Plath explores the tense relationship between a daughter and her father while tying Nazi Germany and the Holocaust into the story. The figure of the father becomes a symbol of oppressive authority, reminiscent of both her father and the tyrannical figure of Hitler. The amalgamation of personal and historical pain mirrors Plath’s personal battles with authoritative fatherhood and the aftermath of World War II. Plath’s poems conjure themes of persecution, pain, and the quest for identity through allusions to Hitler and the Jews. Her mastery is evident in the manner in which personal and historical narratives overlap and inform each other in her work by looking at the issue of “Daddy-Daughter and Hitler-Jews”. This study strives to expand comprehension of her poetic vision and its continuing relevance in modern debate through an analysis of her use of language, imagery, and symbolism. Thus the goal is to offer new perspectives on Plath’s work that both captivate and challenge readers across generations, inviting them to engage with her poetry in a more nuanced and profound manner.

Published: June 2024

Acute hepatitis B is a self-limiting infection, but severe cases resulting in liver failure and death have been reported in 1% of acute hepatitis B cases. Severe acute hepatitis B is diagnosed when one of the following criteria is present: international normalized ratio (INR) >1.5, severe jaundice (total bilirubin >3 mg/dL), or encephalopathy. Severe acute hepatitis B is considered prolonged if it lasts >4 weeks. Hyperthyroidism may lead to liver cell disruption or cholestasis injury. Severe acute hepatitis B associated hyperthyroidism is a case that is very rare. We report a 37-year-old woman with severe acute hepatitis B with protracted jaundice and thyrotoxicosis. Total bilirubin levels persisted >20 mg/dL during eight weeks of treatment despite liver enzymes falling after two weeks of treatment. The patient also had a relapse of hyperthyroidism which had been on remission phase for ten years. The patient was treated with antiviral combination of tenofovir and entecavir to prevent deterioration to liver failure. Methimazole and propranolol were given to manage the patient's hyperthyroid symptoms. The association of hepatitis B with thyrotoxicosis and persistent jaundice is debatable, as is the extrahepatic manifestation of hepatitis B which trigger the relapse of hyperthyroidism. Combination management of two antivirals should be considered in protracted severe acute hepatitis to prevent liver failure.
Klotho, an Anti-Aging Protein with Significant Potential in Regenerative Medicine
Authors: Genovese Jorge A , Leonhardt Howard J
Published: June 2024

Aging is a continuous physiological process that results in senescence or a decline in biological functions. This process is triggered by changes in the body's ability to respond to stress and to adapt to metabolic shifts. As a natural course of events, it leads to the emergence of various health issues and limitations in the capacity to repair tissues and organs. Contemporary medicine aims to delay or modify this process and minimize the consequences of alterations in physical activity, nutritional parameters, and risks. The success of this protective approach is largely dependent on the restoration of the production of anti-aging agents. The klotho protein is one such agent and has fundamental importance in this regard. A decline in klotho protein levels has been clearly linked to aging events, and an increase in its levels has a significant impact on the health of older individuals. Klotho deficiency has been observed in several experimental and clinical disease models. Restoring pre-aging conditions can enhance the regenerative capacity of organisms, which is why klotho protein can be considered for use in regenerative medicine processes across different conditions and not just in older patients. This paper provides an overview of the characteristics and functions of the klotho protein and suggests its potential application in regenerative medicine.

A relevância do enfermeiro paliativista na uti pediatrica valorizando a interação entre a família e a criança em processo que leva a terminalidade de vida
Authors: Rodrigues Kênia , Santos Josiane Basílio dos , Silva Márcia Maria Rodrigues da
Published: June 2024

Este estudo propõe uma reflexão sobre término da vida e medo da morte, muito presente no cotidiano das instituições hospitalares, em especial no âmbito das Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTI). A morte é frequente no espaço hospitalar e há certo despreparo dos profissionais para enfrentá-la e lidar com a dor e o sofrimento. A vivência da equipe de enfermagem em UTI Pediátrica não é suficiente para aceitar a morte de uma criança, que gera sentimentos como culpa fracasso e negação da morte. Pois essa proximidade com a morte pode trazer angústias e minar a capacidade de uma pessoa suportar um diagnóstico irreversível. Os cuidados paliativos surgiram como uma modalidade terapêutica que tem por filosofia melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes e das famílias no enfrentamento de doenças que ameaçam a vida, por meio da prevenção e alívio dos sofrimentos físicos, psicossociais e espirituais. Já que não há possibilidade de cura, resta ao paciente e a família receber todos os cuidados necessários na fase da terminalidade. Este artigo bibliográfico de caráter descritivo e exploratório tem por objetivo abordar a importância da atuação do enfermeiro paliativista na UTI Pediátrica valorizando a interação entre a família e a criança em processo que leva a terminalidade de vida. Já nos objetivos específicos, refletirmos sobre a vivência do enfermeiro no acompanhamento da morte em UTI Pediátrica; descrevemos o processo desgastante morte/morrer para quem cuida e como para quem é cuidado; e descrevemos a importância dos cuidados paliativos como uma ação mais humanizada.  Ao fim do artigo, observou-se que é imprescindível para o paciente assim como para seus familiares proporcionar o suporte em prol de um cuidado humanizado a esses sujeitos, buscando uma melhor qualidade de vida diante desse quadro que é carregado de medos, incertezas e angústias por estarem diante de uma doença terminal.

EVALUATION OF THE SANDNESS OF THE NGRAYONG LAYER IN THE XYZ WELL OF PERTAMINA ASSET IV CEPU
Authors: Untoro Edi , Waas Kristofol
Published: June 2024

Most oil and gas wells produce through sandstone formations deposited in marine or detrital environments. Marine sedimentary sands, in which most of the hydrocarbons are found, are often cemented with calcareous or siliceous minerals and may be heavily consolidated. In contrast, Miocene and younger sands are often unconsolidated or only partially consolidated with soft clays or silts. This formation, which is structurally weak, is unlikely to be able to withstand the movement of sand grains. When oils are produced at high flow rates, they can produce sands along with the liquid oil. The movement of fluid through the sandstone reservoir creates stresses in the sand grains due to differences in fluid pressure, fluid friction, and overburden pressure. If this stress exceeds the formation holding force, then the sand grains and fines can move and can be produced with oil liquid. Rapid changes in the liquid production rate can cause unstable conditions which can result in increased sand production. When an oil well begins to produce water, this will often be an indication of the start of sand production. Muecke[1], demonstrated that particle motion occurs in a multiphase system when the wetting phase begins to move.
Even consolidated sandstone can be mechanically and chemically damaged over time as the reservoir is produced. The overburden stress on the sand grains will increase as the reservoir pressure decreases. The movement of water can dissolve the minerals that cement the sand grains and can change the production capacity of the formation fluid. Smooth migration can reduce permeability in the perforations. This can result in higher pressure drops in the wellbore and changes in formation stress. Formations cemented by calcite can be damaged by improperly designed acidification, and can result in increased production of sand.

Permasalahan pegawai honorer selama ini memang menjadi permasalahan kepegawaian. Di Indonesia masalah ketenagakerjaan ini sangat kompleks, melihat sekelumit masalah yang dihadapi dari internal maupun eksternal, berkaitan dengan kejelasan status sebagai honorer sampai soal pembiayaan yang menjadi masalah mendasar. Sebagai seorang karyawan honorer mengharuskan individu untuk memiliki peran lebih di luar pekerjaan yang telah menjadi tugasnya terlepas dari status karyawan honorer. Hal ini berkaitan dengan organizational citizenship behavior yaitu perilaku extra-role individu di luar apa yang seharusnya menjadi tanggung jawabnya dalam sebuah organisasi terlepas dari kompensasi atau imbalan lain. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat hubungan antara kecerdasan emosional dengan organizational citizenship behavior. Untuk mengukur kecerdasan emosional, penelitian ini menggunakan skala kecerdasan emosional dari Goleman (2005) dan untuk mengukur organizational citizenship behavior menggunakan skala dari Organ, Podsakoff, dan MacKenzie (2006). Berdasarkan analisis data, diperoleh nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,00 (p≤0,01). Sehingga dikatakan sangat signifikan positif, yang berarti bahwa semakin tinggi kecerdasan emosional maka semakin tinggi organizational citizenship behavior pada karyawan honorer.

Published: June 2024

Due to the growing concern about the impacts caused by cemeteries, this study aims to present and analyze the characteristics of vertical cemeteries, through a case study conducted in a vertical cemetery located in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (MRSP). Information about the project was collected through a questionnaire conducted with the operations supervisor. The project was built in a Permanent Preservation Area. Since the cemetery was implemented prior to CONAMA Resolution 335 of 2003, it was exempted from the installation license. It is found that all by-products generated in the processes of human body decomposition are treated, not generating impacts on air, water, and soil; the waste generated in daily activities also receives proper disposal. It is noted that, despite the need for adjustments regarding space occupation, such as the restoration of riparian vegetation, the vertical cemetery presents itself as an excellent alternative to reduce the spaces allocated to graves, making much better use of the location, besides solving the problem of overcrowding in necropolises, it also generates fewer impacts on the environment, as the corpses are placed in drawers and thus do not come into contact with the soil, and there is no risk of the main contaminant, necrochorume, contaminating the soil and groundwater.

Published: June 2024

This study presents a systematic review on chronic meningitis, an inflammatory condition of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, with potential for severe neurological complications and risk of fatality if not properly treated. We employed a rigorous methodology, including a comprehensive review of the literature in reputable databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were stringent to ensure the selection of relevant and high-quality studies. The analysis of selected studies revealed several underlying causes of chronic meningitis, ranging from infections to malignant neoplasms, autoimmune disorders, chemical meningitis, and parameningeal infections. Clinical manifestations are diverse and may include persistent headache, hydrocephalus, cranial nerve damage, spinal nerve damage, and cognitive alterations. Accurate diagnosis is crucial and is based on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, involving a series of laboratory and microbiological tests. The importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of chronic meningitis is emphasized, which should involve clinicians, neurologists, microbiologists, and pathologists. Early identification of the specific cause and implementation of appropriate treatment are fundamental to improving clinical outcomes. Empirical therapy may be necessary in cases of uncertain diagnosis, but adjustments should be made based on clinical evolution and test results. We conclude that interdisciplinary collaboration and continuous updating of clinical practice are essential for the effective management of chronic meningitis. Future research should focus on the development of faster and more accurate diagnostic techniques, as well as more effective therapeutic strategies, aiming to significantly improve the quality of life of patients affected by this debilitating condition.

Published: June 2024

This study investigated the convergent validity of the Assessment Scale for Group Music Therapy in Substance Use Disorders (MTSUD) Scale in relation to the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA), as well as the effects of music therapy on the Stages of Change. To this end, the correlations between the constructs and the influence of music therapy on the Stages of Change and linear models in which the effects of music therapy were placed as predictors of the stages of change were analyzed. The results highlighted the adequacy of the general factor of the MTSUD, but the specific factors did not behave according to the theory. Group music therapy had a significant impact on the processes of change, favoring the stages of Contemplation, Action, and Maintenance. Limitations included disparity in participation between groups, missing data, and participants' difficulties in completing the tests. Future research should explore different populations. In addition, it is essential to investigate specific music therapy interventions and other forms of measurement, given that self-report points to significant limitations in this population. In summary, this study contributes to the understanding of the mechanisms underlying group MT as an effective therapeutic intervention for individuals with substance use disorders, although it points to the need for methodological and investigative improvement to develop more effective research.

Family-centered nursing care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is a holistic approach that recognizes the importance of the family in the care and development of the newborn and involves them as an integral part of the healthcare team, valuing their needs, concerns and experiences during the newborn's hospitalization. The aim of this study was to discuss family-centered nursing care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. This is an integrative review and its guiding question was: "What is family-centered nursing care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit?". The databases used were BDENF, MEDLINE and PUBMED. The study sample consisted of nine original articles. To extract the data, the type of study and the year of publication were analyzed. The results were presented and discussed in terms of the nurse's role and the importance of humanization in interventions and the family's participation and perception of nursing care. It was concluded that family-centered nursing care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit aims to promote a humanized and integrated approach to caring for the newborn and the family, valuing the partnership and collaboration between the health team and the parents, contributing to the healthy development, well-being and recovery of the newborn, as well as strengthening family ties and emotional support for the parents during their stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

The "Lilac March" is a campaign to raise awareness and prevent cervical cancer, organized annually by the Ministry of Health of Brazil in March. The main objective is to inform the population about the importance of prevention and early diagnosis of this disease, which is highly preventable and treatable if detected in the early stages. The campaign encourages screening tests, such as Pap smears, and vaccination against HPV – which is one of the main causes of cervical cancer. During the 2024 campaign, at the Family Health Unit (USF) of the Riacho Doce community in Maceió/AL, a lecture was held on the importance of regular screening tests and HPV vaccination, which can be performed at any health unit. In an environment of safety and trust, interactive materials were used with audiovisual resources, anatomical models, pamphlets and diagrams, with the aim of demystifying HPV vaccination and Pap smears. In addition, there was a Q&A session that featured the testimonies of the women who have already performed to promote identification and encouragement in the group. The results were positive, according to adherence to Pap smears and HPV vaccination in the weeks following the action at the FHU.

Efficiently managing loans granted can have an immediate effect on the profitability and viability of a financial institution. Considering this, this study determined the impact of past-due loans on the profitability of the Peruvian Municipal Savings and Loan Banks during the period 2022. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational-causal methodology was used, which employed documentary analysis and the design of a data sheet. The population and sample consisted of 11 Municipal Savings and Loan Associations, which have been approved and are inspected by the Superintendence of Banking, Insurance and Private Pension Fund Administrators. A positive and moderate correlation of Rho = 460 and a significance level greater than 0,05 (0,154 > 0,05) was found, that is, overdue loans have a positive, but not significant, impact on the profitability of these financial institutions. The behaviors of these variables allow us to conclude that having more past-due loans will not always result in lower profitability, since there may be other factors that help mitigate this negative impact
Current Perspectives on Antifungal Resistance: Focus on Opportunistic Mycoses
Authors: Aguiar Muñoz Natalia Raquel , Yauli Flores Carlos Fernando
Published: June 2024

Introduction: opportunistic mycoses, caused by fungi in individuals with compromised immune systems, are on the rise, posing significant challenges in healthcare. This article reviews antifungal resistance with the aim of highlighting its increasing incidence and the need for new therapeutic strategies and precise diagnostic methods. The necessity for standardized laboratory protocols and the implementation of sensitive techniques for early detection and optimal treatment is emphasized. Methods: a systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar; search terms and Boolean operators such as "(Opportunistic Mycoses) AND (Antifungal Resistance)" and "(Antifungals) AND (Resistance Genes)" were used. Additionally, the guidelines established by the PRISMA statement were followed, and the PICO approach was employed. Results: twelve studies were evaluated; 58,33 % (n=7) assessed antifungal resistance, while 41,67 % (n=5) addressed aspects such as mechanisms of action and genetics. 66 % of the studies evaluated resistance in Candida spp., while 16,7 % analyzed resistance in Aspergillus spp., making them the most studied pathogens. Various resistance genes were evaluated in all studies; moreover, fluconazole was found to be the most studied antifungal, followed by amphotericin B and voriconazole. Conclusion: early identification of antifungal resistance, the development of new therapies, and the standardization of diagnostic methods are essential to mitigate its impact on public health
Enhancing Image Clarity: Feature Selection with Trickster Coyote Optimization in Noisy/Blurry Images
Authors: Jain Prachi , Maan Vinod
Published: June 2024

This paper presents a novel method for recognizing human emotions from gait data collected in an unconstrained environment. The method uses a bi-directional long short-term memory (FL-BiLSTM) network that is optimized by an augmented trickster coyote algorithm for feature selection and classification. The study focuses on overcoming the limitations of existing gait recognition systems that struggle with changes in walking direction. The paper evaluates the performance of the proposed FL-BiLSTM classifier method on a dataset of gait sequences with different emotions and compares it with existing methods. The results show that the proposed method achieves high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in emotion recognition from gait
