O conhecimento tradicional das mulheres camponesas enfrenta desafios, como a influência da globalização, migração para áreas urbanas, falta de reconhecimento na educação formal e impactos de conflitos e deslocamentos populacionais. A economia solidária surge como uma alternativa promissora, proporcionando estabilidade financeira e valorizando práticas culturais. Essa participação contribui para o empoderamento econômico, inserção em espaços produtivos e crescimento pessoal e coletivo. Sendo assim, este trabalho tem por objetivo relatar a experiência de um grupo de mulheres costureiras e artesãs do município de Dourados, MS, que através da economia solidária tem promovido a transformação social, econômica e ambiental de sua comunidade. O curso foi subdividido em dois módulos: (1) organização para inserção das mulheres no mercado dos negócios; (2) produção e comercialização. Durante a realização das palestras e atividades das mulheres artesãs, foi realizado um levantamento das experiencias adquiridas com as ações propostas. O projeto demonstrou que é viável gerar renda ao desenvolver a criatividade dos artesãos com base na motivação, impulsionando a crença na capacidade de criar e melhorar peças. A inclusão produtiva sustentável destaca a necessidade de integrar cadeias produtivas e de serviços para benefício mútuo. Para isso, é essencial que empresas conheçam as potencialidades locais, enquanto os artesãos devem se adaptar às exigências legais, como emissão de nota fiscal e qualidade dos produtos. O projeto também promoveu uma maior interação entre a universidade e a comunidade.

Informacijsko-referalna služba u nekoliko hrvatskih knjižnica
Authors: Šajatović Lidija
Published: July 2024

Cilj. Cilj je rada osvijestiti potrebu stalnog i sustavnog razvoja informacijske službe i informacijsko-referalnih usluga u hrvatskim knjižnicama, kao i stručnog usavršavanja knjižničara u tom području. Budući da informacijska služba predstavlja jedan od temelja rada u narodnim knjižnicama, ističe se važnost uvođenja promjena u njezinom radu uvjetovanih stalnim promjenama u društvu.

Metodologija. U istraživanju je korištena metoda anketiranja pomoću online anketnog upitnika. Istraživanje je provedeno od 11. do 17. listopada 2022. godine, a uzorak je obuhvatio šezdeset ispitanika koji su zaposleni u informacijskoj službi i na poslovima pružanja informacijsko-referalnih usluga u četiri hrvatske narodne knjižnice.

Rezultati. Stavovi stručnog osoblja o načinima pružanja informacijsko-referalnih usluga, obrazovanju i kompetencijama potrebnima za obavljanje tih poslova, kao i organizaciji informacijske službe, ukazuju na trenutno stanje u radu informacijske službe u istraživanim hrvatskim narodnim knjižnicama. Dobiveni rezultati izražavaju prije svega potrebu za sustavnim i organiziranim stalnim stručnim usavršavanjem na nacionalnoj razini i upoznavanjem novih trendova u informacijskom radu s knjižničnim korisnicima, građom i izvorima.

Ograničenja. Uzorkom su obuhvaćene samo četiri hrvatske knjižnice kako bi se utvrdio metodološki okvir za opsežnije istraživanje, stoga je ovo istraživanje orijentacijskog karaktera.

Praktična primjena. Istraživanje se može primijeniti na veći broj hrvatskih knjižnica te imati praktičnu primjenu u osuvremenjivanju organizacije informacijskih službi i razvijanju novih poslovnih modela u njihovom radu.

Originalnost. Originalnost rada očituje se u činjenici da su recentna istraživanja na temu stavova knjižničara o pružanju informacijsko-referalnih usluga i funkcioniranja informacijske službe kao temeljnog aspekta djelovanja narodnih knjižnica, vrlo rijetka i povremena.

Authors: Kovačević Snježana
Published: July 2024

Cilj. Cilj rada ukazati je na ulogu školske knjižnice u poučavanju učenika o sigurnom i odgovornom korištenju digitalne tehnologije za potrebe učenja i u slobodno vrijeme (digitalnoj pismenosti), o vrednovanju informacija i sadržaja na internetu (informacijskoj pismenosti) i kako učiti iz različitih izvora znanja i informacija (medijskoj pismenosti).

Pristup/metodologija/dizajn. U radu će se koristiti primjer dobre prakse knjižnice Osnovne škole Zlatar Bistrica i njezino sudjelovanje u Erasmus+ projektu „Responsible Digital Natives“ koji se provodio od 2020. do 2023. godine i tijekom kojega su učenici sudjelovali u projektnom i istraživačkom učenju u školskoj knjižnici. Prikazane su aktivnosti s učenicima zasnovane na suradnji, timskom radu, upotrebi informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije i suvremenih metoda učenja.

Praktična primjena. Primjer dobre prakse školske knjižnice OŠ Zlatar Bistrica može poslužiti za osmišljavanje aktivnosti za poticanje odgovornog korištenja digitalne tehnologije u radu s učenicima kako knjižničarima tako i drugim odgojno-obrazovnim djelatnicima u osnovnim i srednjim školama.

Originalnost/vrijednost. Članak donosi nove spoznaje o mogućnostima proširenja informacijsko-referalnih uloga i zadaća školske knjižnice koje su više od posuđivanja knjiga i upućivanja u bibliografske izvore, a posebice u razvijanju suradnje školskog knjižničara i predmetnih učitelja ne samo unutar škole već i na međunarodnoj razini posredstvom europskih projekata s ciljem poticanja cjeloživotnih kompetencija, razmjene znanja i iskustava te suradničkog učenja.

Rezultati. Rad daje uvid u pozitivne učinke suradnje školske knjižnice i nastavnog predmeta Geografije u stjecanju vještina informacijske, digitalne i medijske pismenosti, kao i iz domene učiti kako učiti, u aktivnostima istraživanja u digitalno sigurnom okruženju, prilikom analiziranja i sažimanja teksta, kod usvajanja tehnika i strategija čitanja, kod korištenja popularno-znanstvene literature u istraživačkom učenju te prilikom predstavljanja rezultata rada učenicima iz škola partnera.
Effect of Surgical Intervention Timing on Ovarian Viability in Adnexal Torsion: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Akdöner Aslı , Yavuz Onur
Published: July 2024

Background: Torsion is a condition that affects the adnexa completely or partially and causes circulatory disorders in the ovary. To the best of our knowledge, it is unclear how long it takes for the damage to the ovary during the torsion process to become irreversible. The aim of our study was to evaluate the pathology results and ovarian ischemia status of patients who underwent surgery with the indication of adnexal torsion in our clinic, and to determine the relationship between operation timing, and ovarian viability. Methods: The study was conducted retrospectively in the department of gynecology and obstetrics at Dokuz Eylul University Hospital between April 2023 and October 2023. Cases who presented to our clinic with acute abdominal pain and decided to undergo surgery due to suspicion of torsion were included in the study. Patients who were decided to undergo surgery within 6 hours after the onset of symptoms constituted group 1 (n = 26), and patients who were decided to undergo surgery after 6 hours after the onset of symptoms constituted group 2 (n = 36). Statistical analyses were conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics version 26.0 (IBM Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: The average age of the patients in group 1 was significantly lower than that in group 2 (p < 0.001). When both groups were compared, the rate of previous torsion history in group 1 was found significantly higher than that in group 2 (p = 0.04). When both groups were compared in terms of laboratory and imaging findings, no difference was detected between the groups. When both groups were compared in terms of torsion type, ligamentopexy application, torsion area, and torsion direction, no difference was found between the groups. The surgery time in group 2 was found significantly longer than that in group 1 (p < 0.0001). When both groups were compared in terms of intraoperative necrosis, no significant difference was found between the groups (p = 0.3). Conclusions: With the current data, there is no definitive time limit for the effect of the timing of surgical intervention on ovarian viability in adnexal torsion.
Salivary Biomarkers in Breast Cancer: From Salivaomics to Salivaoncoomics
Authors: Bel’skaya Lyudmila V. , Dyachenko Elena I.
Published: July 2024

Saliva is a promising biological fluid for the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases, including breast cancer. To study the composition of saliva, a complex of “omics” technologies is used: genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and microbiomics. In this review, we systematized all known “omics” in their application to saliva analysis in breast cancer in order to understand how complete the picture is provided by the combination of different areas of research and to identify missing links. It has been shown that studies of saliva in breast cancer are chaotic and unsystematic. Inconsistency of sample sizes and high heterogeneity of breast cancer were identified. The main tasks that need to be solved for the complete and harmonious development of salivaomics in a new direction—“salivaonkoomics” are formulated. Thus, it is necessary to systematize and unify the study of biomarkers within each area of “omics”, including sample size and its homogeneity, a list of methods and approaches, a list of biomarkers, reproducibility of results, and the ability to transfer results to other samples. It is important to expand the number of components of “omics” by adding new methods (for example, spectralomics, etc.), as well as studying the relationships between different “omics” technologies (interactomics). All this together will allow the study of saliva not only in breast cancer but also in many other pathologies to a qualitatively new level.
Relationship between the Cell Death-Inducing DNA Fragmentation Factor 45-Like Effector Protein Family and the Risk of Dyslipidemia
Authors: Song Jingjin , Kang Huiyuan , Cheng Ye
Published: July 2024

According to the research, obesity is associated with hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, which are grouped as metabolic syndrome. Notably, under the obese status, the adipocyte could accumulate excessive lipid as lipid droplets (LDs), leading the dysfunctional fat mass. Recently, emerging evidence has shown that the cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor 45-like effector protein (CIDE) family played an important role in regulating lipid metabolism. In addition, diverse CIDE proteins were also confirmed to influence the intracellular lipid metabolism, such as within adipocyte, hepatocyte, and macrophage. Nevertheless, the results which showed the regulatory influence of CIDE proteins are significantly contradictory from in vitro experiments and in vivo clinical studies. Similarly, recent studies have changed the perception of these proteins, redefining them as regulators of lipid droplet dynamics and fat metabolism, which contribute to a healthy metabolic phenotype in humans. However, the underlying mechanisms by which the diverse CIDE proteins alter lipid metabolism are not elucidated. In the current review, the understandings of CIDE proteins in lipid catabolism were well-summarized. On the other hand, the relatively mechanisms were also proposed for the further understandings of the CIDE protein family.

Published: July 2024

Introduction. Studying the features of managerial decision-making in in times of crisis have great social significance. For decades, Ukrainian society has been experiencing a series of sever social-political, economic, and environmental crises. Aim: to analyze the theories and research that explain the process of decision-making by managers in crisis situations and to develop a conceptual model of psychological determinants on this basis. Methods. The article contains a theoretical overview of classic and modern works on the psychological determinants of decision-making in crisis conditions. Results. The key role of managers' readiness and ability to make decisions was determined and possible positive and negative effects of crises on organizations were explained. Theoretical approaches to decision-making proposed by cognitive psychology, behavioral economics, management and various branches of psychology were described. According to the theory of bounded rationality, decision-making in an externally-induced crisis has four stages: understanding the need for decision-making and updating organizational goals; formulation of possible alternatives and analysis of their possible effects; choosing the most affordable and effective (satisfactory) solution to the problem; verification and adjustment of the approved decision in the process of its realisation. The impact of cognitive biases and emotions on the decision-making process at all stages were described. The results of the studies on the features of decision-making by heads of organizations in the conditions of the war in Ukraine were analyzed. Conclusions. Based on the generalization of the data from the relevant scientific sources, a conceptual model of the impact of psychological factors (motivational, emotional, and cognitive) at various stages of decision-making process in crisis situations was proposed. The importance of managers' prompt psychological adjustment to changes in working conditions and organizational goals was emphasized, which makes it possible to make effective decisions in a crisis situation.

اثارت قصيدة النثر منذ ظهورها على ساحة الابداع العربي جدلا واسعا  بين مؤيد ورافض وعلينا أن نتجاهل أن بعض الدراسات العربية التي تحاول حصر وتنظير شعر قصيدة النثر في الأدب العربي من خلال المرجعية الأولى لكتاب سوزان برنارد (قصيدة النثر من بودلير إلى ايامنا)، فأصبحت قصيدة النثر منذ ذلك الحين  دعوة حقيقية للواقع الشعري الجديد، فقد اقتحمت  تلك القصيدة الساحة الشعرية العربية ، وهيمنت على المشهد الشعري في أواخر السبعينيات وأوائل الثمانينات، وفتحت آفاقا جديدة للشعر ككل، وأثارت جدلا واسعا في الأوساط الأدبية والنقدية. وقد عمل دعاتها على التنظير لها باعتبارها شكلاً مفارقاً لما دونه من الأشكال الشعرية ، اذ تخلت عن مقدَّسات القصيدة العربية كالوزن و القافية ، فأثارت بذلك سجالاً عريضاً بين النقاد ظل قائما إلى اليوم ، فما إن ظهرت الحركة الشعرية الحداثوية حتى انقسم الوسط الأدبي على قسمين : الاول مؤيد لهذه الحركة ، والاخر معارض لها ، وبذلك نشأ صراع حاد بين دعاة التجديد والمحافظين شغل الساحة الأدبية إلى يومنا هذا ، وفي إطار الجدل الدائر حول قصيدة النثر،  تباينت مواقف الباحثين والشعراء من التسمية ذاتها ، بين مؤيدا ومعارض لها، وبحثنا الموسوم ( تسمية قصيدة النثر بين القبول والرفض) يعد محاولة للبحث والتعرف على قصيدة النثر و نشأتها وخصائصها  مستشهدا ببعض القصائد ذات الصلة بموضوع البحث .
Sensitivity of modelled mass balance and runoff to representations of debris and accumulation on the Kaskawulsh Glacier, Yukon, Canada
Authors: Robinson Katherine , Flowers Gwenn , Rounce David
Published: July 2024

Runoff from glaciers accounts for half the total freshwater discharge to the Gulf of Alaska, with glacier contributions to streamflow changing as mass loss accelerates. We reconstruct the 1980–2022 mass balance, runoff and water budget of the 70% glacierized Kaskawulsh River Headwaters in Yukon, Canada, using an enhanced temperature-index model driven by downscaled and bias-corrected reanalysis data. Debris is treated using melt-scaling factors based on site-specific measurements of the critical debris thickness. To estimate accumulation, we apply an elevation-dependent correction based on in-situ measurements. The model tuning approach incorporates observations of the geodetic mass balance and snowlines. We assess model sensitivity to the representation of supraglacial debris and the accumulation bias correction, including treatments of these processes that can be applied in the absence of in- situ data. The representation of debris produces variations <1% in the catchment-wide runoff and water budget. In contrast, accumulation inputs that omit in-situ data produce variations of 33–40% in modelled runoff relative to a catchment-specific correction. This work highlights the value of catchment-specific data and the impact that representations of debris and accumulation can have on modelled runoff.

Products or components manufactured by the sheet metal process are indispensable in this contemporary era, from daily-used metal jars to high-tech air vehicles. Nonetheless, there are a variety of sheet metal manufacturing processes for fabricating these goods; the air-bending sheet metal process is one of the most commonly conducted methods among those. After air bending, commonly used metals — Mild Steel, Aluminum, and Stainless Steel — tend to demonstrate an unwanted characteristic called springback, which requires being controlled to produce extremely precise parts. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an empirical model that would improve springback prediction which would ultimately assist in minimizing the springback effect in bending operations. Moreover, exploring springback trends with process-related parameters and metal’s mechanical properties was also the goal of this work. To achieve objectives thoroughly, several methodological approaches were incorporated sequentially: Box-Behnken experimental design, experimental data collection, conducting an ANOVA test, empirical model selection, model development, and model validation. For pursuing these approaches, the Design Expert® software, Universal Testing Machine, and Bevel Protector were utilized. Finally. in the validation phase, it was found that the developed linear models were able to prognosis springback with acceptable errors. From that mathematical model, springback trends with process-related parameters were explored. Moreover, that mathematical model was also useful revealing springback trends with proven mechanical properties of selected metals. Overall, this study provides a wider view for observing springback trends with different factors.
Combinatorial optimization approach for the efficient reuse of RC components

The reuse of reinforced concrete components from deconstructed buildings offers a promising approach to reduce the environmental impact of new constructions. However, it represents a complex combinatorial optimization problem to efficiently place the available modules, which vary in geometry and load-bearing capacity, into new structures while maximizing their utilization. This paper proposes a two-stage optimization method to enable the reuse of arbitrary reinforced concrete modules. First, an agent-based model is employed to rapidly explore feasible geometric combinations of modules and preselect suitable placements based on a target span length. Second, metaheuristic optimization algorithms, namely Simulated Annealing and Tabu Search, are adapted to maximize the utilization of the modules' load-bearing capacity while ensuring global structural integrity. The methods are demonstrated on a case study of assembling a three-span continuous beam from a sampled construction kit of 100 reinforced concrete modules with varying cross-sectional properties and material parameters. The results show the agent-based preselection effectively finds viable geometric combinations, while the metaheuristics converge on optimised module placements with up to 88% utilization on average. The proposed approach provides a computational framework to enable the direct reuse of structural concrete components, supporting the design of low-carbon circular buildings.

Published: July 2024

In this manuscript, we discuss the importance of data sharing in educational and psychological research, emphasizing the historical context of data sharing, the current open science movement, and the so-called replication crisis. We additionally explore the barriers to data sharing, particularly the fear of incorrectly deidentifying data or accidentally including private information. We then highlight the importance of deidentifying data for data sharing. Finally, we present specific techniques for data deidentification, namely non-perturbative and perturbative methods, and make recommendations for which techniques are relevant for specific types of variables. To assist readers in implementing the material from this study, we have additionally created an interactive tutorial as a Shiny web application, which is publicly available and free to use.

Payment has been an issue of major concern in the construction industry and most contractors reported that they have gone through late payment situations in government-funded projects. The issue of delayed payment in the construction industry is a global phenomenon. The objective of this research is to analyze the payment delays in the Department of Road, Road Division Surkhet construction projects. Altogether there are 61 projects under construction. Each representative from the contractor and all engineers from the Employer are selected as respondents. The Cronbach's alpha test was run, and the overall alpha value was found to be 0.978. The employer’s topmost rank is ‘unavailability of the budget under cause attributable to the employer, contractors' failure to understand the contract agreement under causes attributable to the contractor, and differing site conditions under causes beyond the party’s control. In contrast, the contractor ranks the topmost cause as unavailability of the budget, contractors' failure to follow certain procedures in a claim, and price escalation of the major construction materials respectively. The view of the employer emphasized that the delay in payment brings significant effects on the delay in project progress and creates cash flow problems for contractors with the value. Whereas contractors emphasized that the delay in payment creates cash flow problems for contractors. The employer has suggested that the contractor submit the latest progress work invoicing with adequate documents while asking for the payment to reduce the delay time in payment. In contrast, the contractor has suggested that both parties should understand the terms or clauses of payment in the project. The combined view of employer and contractor emphasized that Both parties should understand and should compel the terms or clauses of payment in the project to reduce the delay in the payment. The Hypothesis test also showed that there is a significant difference between the view of employer and contractor on the causes, effects, and possible solutions to reduce delay in the payment.

Published: July 2024

An entrepreneur's role is very crucial for achieving economic growth by creating employment opportunities in the country. Entrepreneurial activities are the outcome of the entrepreneurial intentions of individuals, which depend on several factors. For identification of the dynamics affecting of the factors affecting the entrepreneurial intention, this paper used the component of EET along with EE. For this purpose, a structured questionnaire survey was conducted using a sample of 384 students studying at the Graduate School of Management, Mid-West University, Nepal. This paper finds the influencing positive role of components of EET and EE in determining the EI of students. Thus, it is concluded that dimensions of EET and EE should be considered positively for developing the EI of university students. Thus, Nepalese universities should provide effective entrepreneurial education to their students to stimulate them as entrepreneurs.

Authors: Rawat Khem Raj
Published: July 2024

The research investigates the role of cooperatives in promoting sustainable women's empowerment, addressing gaps in knowledge about their impact, particularly in low-income countries. It emphasizes the multifaceted nature of empowerment and explores how economic, socio-cultural, entrepreneurial, leadership skills, advocacy, and awareness dimensions intersect. Through correlation and regression analyses, significant positive associations between Sustainable Women Empowerment (SWE) and these dimensions are revealed, highlighting the importance of considering them collectively in empowerment initiatives. The research employs a positivist research philosophy and adopts a descriptive and causal research design to address the research problem through data collection and analysis systematically. Primary data collection involves structured questionnaires distributed among women shareholders/members of a cooperative organization in Birendranagar Municipality. A sample size of 408 respondents is determined through convenience sampling. Specifically, the regression analysis demonstrates that Economic Empowerment (EE), Socio-cultural Empowerment (SCE), Advocacy and Awareness (AnA), Entrepreneurship Empowerment (EntE), and Leadership Skills Empowerment (LSE) significantly influence SWE. For instance, the coefficients for EE, SCE, AnA, EntE, and LSE are 0.205, 0.226, 0.116, 0.165, and 0.183, respectively, indicating the estimated change in SWE associated with a one-unit increase in each respective predictor, while holding others constant. These findings have implications for policymakers and stakeholders, suggesting the need for comprehensive interventions targeting multiple empowerment dimensions to foster sustained positive changes in women's lives and contribute to broader social and economic development goals.
