Woran scheitern Innovationsvorstellungen des modernen Managements?
Authors: Halfmann Christopher
Published: November 2023

Current management discourse is shaped by the idea that uncertain times require new methods of organisation. Popular management principles promise opportunities for improvement for both people and organisations, but what are the consequences when hierarchies and formal rules are dismantled, silos are broken down or members are motivated by ‘purpose’? In this book, the author takes a critical look at modern ideas of innovation, showing how organisations actually manage environmental challenges and which structural features ensure adaptability. This study allows consultants to gain a more complex perspective on organisations—a perspective that is based on the insights of systems theory.

Intraplacental Gestational Neoplasms: A Review of Clinically Relevant Diagnostically Challenging Lesions
Authors: Dahl Julia
Published: November 2023

Context.—

Case studies reporting intraplacental choriocarcinoma (IPC) and intraplacental “chorangiocarcinoma” have recently increased, with IPC also represented in molecular analyses of gestational trophoblastic neoplasms.

Objective.—

To provide an overview of 2 intraplacental neoplastic lesions that can have a significant impact on both mother and fetus/infant, focusing on diagnostic characteristics, and ancillary and molecular tools that support diagnosis, determine prognosis, and further elucidate the nature of these lesions.

Data Sources.—

Data were compiled from a PubMed literature review that included diagnostic and additional keywords within the scope of study for gestational choriocarcinoma in general. Illustrative cases were retrieved from the pathology archives at Michigan Medicine, including the consultation files of the author.

Conclusions.—

Intraplacental gestational tumors exist along the spectrum of benign (chorangioma) to aggressive malignant (choriocarcinoma) neoplasms with a high potential for metastasis. Although most gestational choriocarcinomas follow complete hydatidiform mole, 20% to 25% occur in association with normal intrauterine gestations, including rare cases in which they are detected within the placenta (IPC). IPCs range from asymptomatic to widely metastatic, with metastases possible even when only microscopic IPCs are present. A second, even less common lesion, variably called “chorangiocarcinoma” and chorangioma with atypical trophoblast proliferation, is also reviewed. The incidence of these lesions is likely to be underestimated. Heightened suspicion and more liberal placental sampling, particularly when specific clinical features are present, may result in higher detection. Enhanced detection to provide the earliest intervention for both mother and infant may improve prognosis, particularly for asymptomatic disease that may later present with metastasis.

Published: November 2023

Background: Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common childhood illness caused by enteroviruses. Increasingly, the disease has a substantial burden throughout Vietnam. To better understand of the epidemiology of HFMD, this study aims to investigate the use of local Geary’s C statistic in the identification of local clusters of HFMD in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. Methods: Histogram was first used to study the distribution of HFMD cases the incidence of HFMD. Local Geary C statistics was then applied to identify the spatial clusters of HFMD cases and HFMD incidence including high-high, low-low, negative and other positive clusters. Finally, HFMD cases and infection rates collected in Ho Chi Minh were used to explore the spatial clusters of HFMD. Results: It was found that, in the case of using HFMD cases, two high-high clusters in District 12 and Binh Tan in the city center, one low-low cluster in District 5 in the east of the city center and two negative clusters in Binh Thanh and District 7 in the west of the city were successfully detected. On the other hand, in the case of using HFMD infection rates, a total of three high-high clusters, one low-low cluster, one negative and one other positive clusters were successfully detected, in which, the three high-high clusters were found in the districts of Binh Tan (289 cases/100,000 inhabitants), Binh Chanh (283 cases/100,000 inhabitants) and Tan Phu (281 cases/100,000 inhabitants) in the east of the city. Conclusions: findings in this study confirm the usefulness of local Geary’s C statistic in the identification of spatial clusters of HFMD.
Effects of ionic strength and pore water velocity on cadmium mobility through contaminated soil in Mae Sot district, Tak province
Authors:   , Waleeittikul Athiya
Published: November 2023

Contamination of cadmium (Cd) was reported to be found at agricultural areas nearby Mae Tao and Mae Ku creek in the Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Thailand. Cadmium is an extremely toxic substance and harmful to human health. Therefore, Cd levels in soils and mechanisms of Cd movement into soils are needed to be investigated systematically. The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of ionic strength (IS) and pore water velocity on the Cd movement through contaminated soil. There were three laboratory parts in this study as follows: 1) analysis of Cd contaminated in soils and properties of the selected soil, 2) batch sorption-desorption experiments, and 3) column experiments. The concentrations of Cd in soils collected from Mae Tao and Mae Ku creek were in the ranges of 0.71-62.04 mg/kg, some of them are higher than the European Union Maximum Permissible level (3 mg/kg). Based on hydraulic conductivity and level of contaminated Cd in soils, the contaminated agricultural soil was selected for further experiments, which is a sandy loam soil with 26.5 mg/kg Cd and hydraulic conductivity of 9.14 cm/h.

Both batch adsorption experiments and column experiments showed inverse relationship between sorption coefficients (Kd, KL, Kf) with increasing of IS, whereas desorption experiments revealed higher concentrations of desorbed Cd with increasing IS. For batch experiments, the Freundlich isotherm is the best adsorption isotherm, explaining Cd adsorption (R2 >0.93). Regardless of pore water velocity, the dispersivity (λ) of low and high flow columns was approx.1.73 cm. However, the Langmuir non-equilibrium model (or two site sorption model) is well-fitted with observed BTCs from column experiments (R2>0.95, RMSE<0.05) with KL ranging from 0.09-4.03 l/g. Ionic strength appeared to significantly affect Cd sorption and transport in a range of IS from 10-100 mM. According to modeling results of column tests, higher IS resulted in increasing ƒ and α, because the competition between Cd2+ and Ca2+. Peclet numbers showed that both diffusion and advection process is dominated in the column experiments. Based on pore water velocity effect, KL and ƒ is inversely related with pore water velocity, while α is positively related with pore water velocity, which is responsible for the rate-limited process.
Distance Constrained Capacitated Vehicle Touting Problem For The Abuja Post Office Using Lexisearch Algorithm
Authors: Achaku David , Babangida Sani
Published: November 2023

Transportation problems are generally modelled as vehicle routing problems (VRPs) since they consist of minimizing the overall cost while satisfying routing constraints and customers' orderings. In this paper, the mail delivery of the Nigerian Postal Services (NIPOST) is modeled as a distance- constrained capacitated variant (DCVRP) in order to address the problem of delay in mail delivery occurring frequently experienced in NIPOST. The Lexi-search algorithm was applied and implemented on the spreadsheet solver to solve the capacitated vehicle routing problem of Abuja Post Office. The algorithm was tested on Christofides Benchmark and found to perform well with computational analyses coded in c++ and statistical analyses of goodness fit performed using R Software. The problem has been formulated as a mixed integer programming problem based on a modification of the Tompkin’s et al., model. Appropriate data was obtained from Abuja Post Office where the data is used to come up with the distance matrix. The annual cost savings for NIPOST using three vehicles is N1,950,054.66, N1,708,127.73 and N1,140,148.50 for N142, N163 and N213 per litre respectively. The annual cost savings for four vehicles, is N1,494,466.25, and therefore the purchse of a fourth vehicle will reduce delay in mail delivery though it might cost them more to aquire a new bus as already indicated. In the long run however, revenue will increase because of high patronage.
The geopolitical influence of Turkey in the Western Balkans
Authors: Agolli Kevin
Published: November 2023

Turkey’s role in the Balkan peninsula can be considered age-old since medieval times. The study of the new line of Turkish foreign policy from 2002 to 2021, as well as the doctrine of neo-Ottomanism, mark a great importance in the ideation of the methodology. This need is influenced by a number of factors. Turkey has a historical past in the Balkans; after the coming to power of the AKP in 2002, its leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan wanted to reawaken the “unified” relationship of the Balkan states with Turkey at the head. Also, the empowerment that Turkey has received during the last 15 years has strengthened its influence in three different regions. The Balkan region, just like in the period of the Ottoman Empire, is an existential part of the implementation of the doctrine of neo-Ottomanism in Turkish foreign policy, as well as a connecting bridge that Turkey has with Western Europe. This study aims to offer an approach that seeks to discover the cause of Turkey’s relations with the Balkan countries and Turkey’s geopolitical influence in this region. This paper suggests that the growth of Turkey’s influence in the Balkans has come as a result of Turkey’s own reconceptualization of its role in the international arena after 2002. The method selected in this study is the interpretative one, which refers to the secondary data produced by well-known authors of international relations, official documents, institutions, etc.
Canopy Height Estimation of Three Sugarcane Varieties Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
Authors: Simões Gabriela Zoli , Kux Hermann Johann Heinrich , Breunig Fábio Marcelo , Pereira Luiz Henrique
Published: November 2023

The objective of this study is to estimate the canopy height of three sugarcane varieties at different growth stages, with UAV data and to evaluate its relationship with two vegetation indices (VIs) (NDVI and EVI) at different spatial resolutions (3m, 10m and 30m). The indices were calculated using images from the PlanetScope, Sentinel-2, and Landsat 8 satellites, acquired as close as possible to the UAV imaging date. The estimated canopy height for each field was obtained by subtracting the Digital Surface Model (DSM) from the Digital Terrain Model (DTM), built by the Structure from Motion (SfM) technique with UAV RGB images as input. The average from each estimated height was compared with the average measured in the field, to verify the accuracy of the model. Both Pearson’s correlation and the Determination Coefficient (R²) were calculated between the estimated heights and the VIs. The average estimated canopy height and measurements in the field were different (p<0.05), with the model generally underestimating the height. However, the plantation’s surface models portrayed the spatial variability within the field. The use of GCPs is mandatory to reduce errors in estimation. Regarding the indices, the spatial resolution did not influence the correlation analysis, with NDVI showing higher values than EVI, except for area A. However, all values, for both coefficients, were below 0.5 for all areas. Despite that, a temporal analysis is necessary to improve the relationship between the canopy height and VIs. The potential of UAV data as a proxy to zonal management should be addressed in future studies.

In this paper, the problems affecting the rehabilitation and further overhang of the tailing dump are present.
Required joinder of parties in civil procedure and extension of res judicata effect
Authors: Knežević Marko
Published: November 2023

The paper deals with specific problem regarding required joinder of parties in litigation, namely legal consequences of rendering the judgment despite the failure to join a necessary party, but with court's failure to detect the issue, i.e. is the lacking necessary party bound by judgement? Dominant opinion, both in domestic and foreign representative legal theory and case law, decline res judicata effect, while some Serbian scholars accept it. Research based on constitutional and dogmatic scale shows that extension of res judicata effect could not be deemed as Serbian lex lata. The concept of required joinder of parties is based on protection of right to be heard of all necessary parties, so the contrary standpoint would diminish, or moreover infringe such basic human right. In addition, there is no legal ground for such extension of res judicata effect, bearing in mind provisions of Serbian Code of Civil Procedure. Lastly, if lacking necessary party would be bound by judgement, the very concept of required joinder of parties would be reduced ad absurdum.

Published: November 2023

This paper provides an outline for how Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine (RowanSOM) established a student-run coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination clinic. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2), referred to as COVID-19, has ravaged the nation since January of 2020. One of the largest issues during the first months of the vaccine rollout was vaccine distribution to the qualified public. RowanSOM sought to address this obstacle in New Jersey (NJ) by implementing the state’s first medical student-led COVID-19 vaccination clinic. Through the establishment of a supply chain, vaccination area, vaccine storage area, and registration center, the medical school created a straightforward format for “mega sites”, interested medical schools and pop-up sites to follow to implement their own clinics to help to end the fight against COVID-19. RowanSOM closely collaborated with the NJ Department of Health, which has been fundamental in the implementation of the State’s vaccination plan through the creation and execution of this student-run vaccination clinic.
Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

Published: November 2023

The concept of artificial intelligence (AI) refers to computer systems that mimic human cognitive abilities. Artificial intelligence (AI) is structured similarly to the human brain, with numerous neural nodes, and is hence referred to as a neural network. However, there are global ethical, legal, economic, and sociological problems associated with the application of AI in healthcare. Many of these difficulties are not particular to artificial intelligence. AI introduces novel ethical dilemmas that go beyond the purview of conventional regulators and participants in healthcare systems, adding to the more than half a century's worth of problems that the use of software and computers in healthcare has caused for developers, governments, and clinicians. These ethical concerns must be adequately addressed if AI is to be widely implemented to improve people's health, safeguard people's autonomy, and ensure everyone has access to this technology.

Authors: Cassaniga Tafarel , Assis Glaucia de Oliveira
Published: November 2023

Este trabalho pretende descrever como se dá a presença do migrante nordestino no município de Brusque, uma cidade de colonização alemã no estado de Santa Catarina. O estado da Bahia, localizado na Região Nordeste do Brasil, é conhecido tradicionalmente por uma área de movimentos migratórios. Desde meados do século XX, muitos baianos migraram para outras regiões do Brasil em busca de novas oportunidades de vida, visto que, as migrações são motivadas por fatores como a seca, estagnação econômica e elevados níveis de desemprego. No início do século XXI, os deslocamentos migratórios de baianos seguem para um novo rumo: o sul do Brasil. Neste artigo, pretendemos analisar as características desse fluxo, os espaços da cidade em que vivem e circulam, bem como seus impactos na vida cotidiana na cidade destino. Para percorrer a trajetória dos imigrantes, o trabalho de campo foi realizado em uma escola pública da cidade, na modalidade de EJA (Ensino de Jovens e Adultos). A partir de uma pesquisa etnográfica, que envolve entrevistas e histórias de vida de migrantes, descrevemos seu cotidiano na cidade, analisamos os discursos relacionados ao preconceito e discriminação com o referido fluxo migratório e, os desafios dos imigrantes baianos para o acolhimento em um município que constrói sua identidade em torno dos imigrantes alemães que chegaram à cidade no século XIX.

Published: November 2023

On 15 November 2023, the UK Supreme Court (UKSC) unanimously declared the government’s policy of removing some asylum seekers to Rwanda to process their claims  unlawful. Like the Court of Appeal, it found substantial grounds for believing that asylum seekers would face a real risk of ill-treatment because of insufficient guarantees against refoulement. This post explores the origin and significance of the UKSC judgment and the legal and policy implications of the UK government’s immediate response to it.

Authors:   Uganda Martyrs University, Namuli Josephine , Segawa Edward Katumba
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this paper is to assess the effect of credit risk management on the financial performance of Savings and Credit Co-operative Organizations (SACCOs) in Makindye division, Kampala. Specifically, the paper looked at how credit risk identification, credit risk assessment and credit risk control affect the way that SACCOs perform financially. A cross-sectional field survey design that adopted both qualitative and quantitative approaches to collecting and analyzing data was adopted. Twenty (20) registered active SACCOs were purposively selected from Makindye Division for data collection using both questionnaires and interview guides. Data was collected from managers, treasurers or accountants, and secretaries of the registered SACCOs. Descriptive and inferential statistics were generated and interpreted to meet the study objectives. Findings showed that credit risk management has a positive and significant effect on the financial performance of SACCOs. This implies that the way a SACCO performs financially is influenced by the way credit risk is identified, assessed and controlled within that SACCO. SACCOs should train their members on strategies of identifying, assessing as well as controlling risks if they are to register and sustain good financial performance. This paper contributes to literature in regard to credit risk management strategies within SACCOs in Uganda.

This study employed quasi-experimental design, using non-equivalent quasi-experimental design. Purposive sampling technique was used to select two schools for the study. One intact class in each school was used as the control group and the other class as the experimental group. The sample size consisted of 200 students comprising 94 in the control group and 106 in the experimental group. The experimental group was taught work, energy and power using cooperative learning ( learning together) while the control group was taught using the traditional way of teaching work, energy and power. Research instrument used for the study for data collection was Physics Achievement Test (PAT). The instrument was developed by the researcher in order to measure the rate of students’ academic achievement in physics. The instrument was administered to the students before treatment to determine the level of knowledge about the subject matter (pre-test). Then, the same instrument administered again after the treatment had been given to obtain the post test scores. The scores of the students were analysed using mean and standard deviation. The hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance using t-test. The study found that Cooperative learning method enhances active student participation and interaction. This quality led to significant learning effect in Physics. It was recommended that science teachers should be encouraged to adopt cooperative teaching/learning strategy so as to enhance active students’ participation in scientific operation

Activities and Practices of Requirements Engineering in Agile Software Environments
Authors: Kahar Ahmed
Published: November 2023

Requirements are one of the important factors for software success. However, Requirements Engineering (RE) activities, in the Waterfall process model, are done sequentially in the analysis phase, which makes it difficult when RE practitioners think and reason about them in Agile Software Development (ASD) process model. RE practitioners need to find the established RE activities conventions in the ASD process model, especially with an increase of software companies, which transform to the ASD process model, in order to foster their transition to the new model. The objective of this study is to provide RE activities in ASD to allow RE practitioners to utilize the appropriate activity for specific ASD methodology. RE activities in ASD are handled repetitively and on a small scale, which makes them embedded in the development life cycle. This paper focuses on highlighting them in different ASD methodologies and discusses the practices that resolve the traditional Waterfall model issues. Although the ASD model has resolved some traditional RE issues, it introduced other issues, such as a consequence of trying to achieve an adequate balance between agility and stability. In addition, there is a lack of practices that target non-functional requirements.
