Preliminary survey of feline intestinal parasites in Ghana
Authors: Amissah-Reynolds Papa Kofi , Ofori Samuel Ayetibo
Published: January 2023

Cats can host an array of parasite species. This is particularly evident in sub-Saharan Africa, where climatic conditions favour parasites and their vectors, and pets are given little medical attention. The presence of parasites in cats results in significant morbidity in these companion animals. Proximity of infected cats to humans also favours zoonotic transmissions. This study aimed at ascertaining the prevalence and diversity of parasites in cats. A total of 90 feline faecal samples were examined using floatation techniques. Overall, 75 cats (83.3%) were infected with at least one of six parasite species. Toxocara ova were found in 35 (38.9%), hookworm ova in 20 (22.2%), Isospora in 19 (21.1%), Capillaria in 17 (18.9%), pinworm eggs in 5 (5.6%) and flukes in 4 (4.4%) cats respectively. Sex of cats was a significant determinant of infections. This study demonstrates environmental contamination with feline parasites of zoonotic importance, thus necessitating a One-Health surveillance to minimize zoonotic risks from these companion animals. Cats play active roles in the transmission of multiple parasites of zoonotic importance in Ghana.
The adaptation and validation of the global competence scale among educational psychology students
Authors: Zheldibayeva Raigul
Published: January 2023

Global competence is supposed to possess a transformative capacity allowing for building bridges across cultural diversity to foster international cooperation. Literature searches indicate the paucity of robust tools evaluating global competence. This research strove to adapt and validate a measure for the assessment of students’ global competence in Kazakhstan. For this purpose, the Global Competence Scale was chosen. A total of 467 graduate and undergraduate educational psychology students responded to the adapted scale. Based on the scores collected, the instrument was examined using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Good reliability was yielded (Cronbach’s alpha for the factors ranging from 0.722 to 0.924) and the original nine-factor structure was replicated and accounted for 61.84 % of the total variance. The model fit indices met the criteria set a priori. The Kazakh version of the Global Competence Scale was unprecedented and proved to be a reliable and valid tool for gauging the construct. In contrast to the original study, surveyees with international experience reported no superior scores relative to non-experienced counterparts. Holistically, findings suggest the respondents should work on their global competence, in particular with regard to international academic knowledge and communication. Further validation of the scale with larger sample sizes to increase its generalizability and use is encouraged.

Adherence to capecitabine, an effective oral chemotherapy agent, is essential in achieving treatment response in cancer. In this study, we aimed to investigate factors associated with non-adherence to capecitabine in a sample of patients with gastrointestinal cancer. We enrolled 98 patients with colon, rectal or gastric cancers who were undergoing treatment with capecitabine as part of their single or multi-agent chemotherapy regimen. The patients were followed during cohort time up to four consecutive cycles of their chemotherapy. For adherence measurement, the participants were asked to bring back the leftover medicines at the time of follow-up visits and were considered adherent if they had taken ≥95% of their prescribed dose. The mean adherence rate was 97.7%, and the patients were adherent to capecitabine in 93.1% of their cycles. The patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy were significantly less adherent to capecitabine (60%) as compared with adjuvant (95.2%) and palliative chemotherapy (94.6%) [P=0.004]. Multivariable logistic regression revealed that neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the presence of nausea and mucositis were inversely associated with adherence rate. We did not find any association between adherence and any of our laboratory findings. Our findings suggest a high adherence rate to capecitabine among patients with gastrointestinal cancers. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the presence of nausea and mucositis may play a significant role in non-adherence to capecitabine.

Published: January 2023

The successful implementation of mobile learning is mainly impacted by learners’ attitudes to accepting and applying mobile learning systems. In the current study, an m-learning application was developed and implemented for university students, and their perspective toward the adoption and application of m-learning was investigated. This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2020. The participants were 114 university students at Abadan University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected by means of a valid questionnaire containing 42 questions in 13 subscales in addition to an open-ended question about the positive and negative aspects of the m-learning application. There was a significant relationship between acceptance and major (P=0.001), mobile usage (P=0.035), and familiarity with m-learning (P<0.001). The total mean of m-learning application acceptance was 3.95±0.32, which shows a good level. Self-efficacy, perceived ease of use, and user interface were, respectively, the most influencing factors; mobile device limitation and governmental support were the least influencing factors. “Direct communication with the teacher/instructor” and “Internet disconnection during video teaching” were among the positive and negative aspects of applying the m-learning application, respectively. The m-learning application was well adopted among the students. Mobile device limitations are a reason for the student's concerns. “Usability features” can be a point for covering mobile device limitations.

Do Career Self-Management Behaviors Predict the Employee Commitment? A Study of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Firms in Sri Lanka
Authors: Wickramaratne WP Richard
Published: January 2023

In the contemporary organizational environment where there is no guarantee for long term employment, the employees are responsible for managing their own careers by the involvement of a range of career self-management behaviors. In such an environment, whether the employees are committed to their organizations is questionable. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is an effect of employee career self-management behaviors on their commitment. An online survey was distributed among a random sample of 200 managerial level employees of 20 BPO firms. With a response rate of 47%, 94 managerial level employees reported the effects of career selfmanagement behaviors such as networking behavior, visibility behavior, and mobility behavior on employee commitment. Based on multiple hierarchical regression analysis, it was found that the networking and visibility behaviors promote employee affective commitment and normative commitment whereas the externally oriented mobility behavior results in lowering the employee affective attachment and normative commitment. These findings provide implications to the theory of proactive behavior and the social cognitive career theory. In terms of managerial implications, the firms should create an organizational culture that is conducive for employees to involve with career selfmanagement behaviors aimed at furthering careers within the organization. The limitations and the implications of the study for future research are also discussed.
Do Crude Oil Price Levels Or Its Volatility Matter In Global Food Commodity Price Change?
Authors: Onour Ibrahim
Published: January 2023

This study investigates the effect of crude oil price fluctuations on wheat, sugar, corn, and fertilizers. Results of Markov switching dynamic regression support evidence of two states. State 1, pertains to the low volatility of crude oil prices, and state 2, refers to higher volatility of crude oil prices. At state 1 higher levels of oil prices lead to a decline in food commodity prices, whereas in state 2, higher oil prices cause an increase in food commodity prices. Results of Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) GARCH estimates indicate the coefficients of oil price levels are significant and positively associated with the conditional volatility of the four commodity prices, implying that fluctuations in global food commodity prices are not due to oil price volatility but due to the oil price levels attained at the extreme points.

Authors: Agbaria Qutaiba , Berte Denise Ziya , Mahamid Fayez
Published: January 2023

It is generally assumed that parent characteristics play a critical role in determining the potential for a positive transition into formal education systems for all children. The current study examines the contribution of parenting styles and maternal selfefficacy as predictors of social and emotional adjustment among preschoolers. The study included 151 kindergarten age children and their mothers. Findings demonstrated that a positive relationship exists between an authoritative balanced parenting style and social emotional adjustment, while both permissive and authoritative styles predicted lower levels of adjustment. It was further identified that positive maternal self-efficacy was linked to higher levels of social-emotional adjustment in pre-school children.

Content, Positives, and Controversies of Academic Empathy and Motivation
Authors: Blaskova Martina , Polackova Kristina , Blaskova Rudolf
Published: January 2023

Greatness of current universities faces many difficulties and the complexity of dynamics typical by tremendous acceleration of social relations and ties. If academics and scientists want to help students and younger colleagues to handle the complexity and tempo of requirements arisen by a study and work at (least nationally) prestigious universities, empathy is a must. Empathy is a phenomenon with many meanings and contents. There exists a clash of empathy on the part of teachers, but at the same time, on the part of students in the academic practice. Despite the fact that empathy as a socio-relational competence and basis of commitment and facilitative processes help to understand and find the key to the heart and intellect of other individuals (students), it absorbs a lot of energy. This is often reflected in the fatigue, mood swings, and nervousness of the university teacher. This â€˜imperfection of empathyâ€™ in turn may lead to the situation that students begin to perceive the teacher as erratic and his or her behavior as controversial: once empathetic and full of involvement, and sometimes as cold and even aggressive. Assuming that the teacher serves as a role model for his or her students, teacherâ€™s empathy is a model for the future (feed-backing) empathy of students towards the other teachers, classmates, and later also to the future colleagues at work. Therefore, on the basis of the analysis, comparison, generalization and synthesis of different views in the theoretical part, methodological part of the paper presents the results of a sociological questioning conducted on a sample of 300 students of University of Zilina, Slovak Republic. Studentsâ€™ expressions on the positive evaluation of teacherâ€™s empathy versus the negative assessment of teacherâ€™s moodiness and nervousness in relation to the students are compared. Deeper comparison of the expressions of students at two absolutely different study programs: Management (150 students) versus Informatics (150 students) and results of a subsequent qualitative questioning focused directly to the area of empathy (on the sample of 40 students) are interesting too. Divergence of opinions, relating these ones to the linked foreign surveys and drawing relevant conclusions are completed by a set of proposed recommendations. These recommendations have the ambition to improve the management systems of universities and provide suggestions that could help the teachers and students when harmonizing their mutual expectations and reinforcing existing academic motivation.

Authors: Fucile Sandra , Heath Jenna , Dow Kimberly
Published: January 2023

Purpose:To evaluate breastfeeding outcomes in preterm infants born during the Covid-19 pandemic.Design:An observational cohort study of 33 infants born ≤34 weeks’ gestation was conducted.Sample:The study sample consisted of 33 infants divided into 2 groups: infants born during the Covid-19 pandemic (Covid group,n= 11) and those born prior to the pandemic (pre-Covid group,n= 22).Main Outcome Variable:Breastfeeding at hospital discharge.Results:Fewer infants in the Covid group received breastfeeds at full oral feed (p= .015) and none breastfeeding at hospital discharge (p= .001). In addition, fewer infants in the Covid group received non nutritive sucking (p= .612) and more infants in the Covid group required milk supplementation (p= .032). Study results suggest that breastfeeding establishment at hospital discharge in preterm infants is significantly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. There is a critical need, in low-risk disease transmission areas, to enhance parental access and to increase in-hospital lactation supports to help safeguard breastfeeding outcomes in preterm infants.

Published: January 2023

The objective of this work was to analyze the degree of physical activity of university teachers before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, this in the context of social isolation. The present study adopts a quantitative and cross-sectional approach. The sample was determined randomly, made up of 129 university professors from the Faculty of Physical Culture Sciences of the Autonomous University of Chihuahua, aged between 18 and 74 years. The results show that 50.39% of teachers before the pandemic maintained a high degree of physical activity, while during confinement they presented a lower degree of physical activity, decreasing to only 39.53%. The Covid-19 not only wreaked havoc on health, but also negative effects in the psychological, emotional and social sphere of people, as well as havoc in the practice of physical activity, modifying healthy lifestyles and leaving possible effects for the consequent physical health.

Cette étude vise à comprendre les activités de sensibilisation délivrées par l’état de Côte d’ivoire dans le cadre de la lutte contre l’ulcère de buruli et les comportements thérapeutiques générés par les populations de Mandanou Elle s’inscrit dans le cadre de l’Anthropologie Biologique et fait recours au courant culturaliste. Dans une démarche qualitative nous avons réalisé plusieurs entrevues avec des responsables à divers niveaux du programme et les populations de la localité de Mandanou. Le problème principal expliquant le long délai dans le diagnostic réside dans la connaissance approximative de l’UB par les professionnels de santé au premier échelon. Les analyses ont révélé que les populations ont compris que l’ulcère de Buruli se soigne et se guéri à l’hôpital. Mais elles ne sont pas en mesure d'identifier les comportements à risques, les dispositions préventives et les vecteurs de l’ulcère de Buruli auxquels elles sont exposées. Aussi nos analyses ont révélé que l’arrivée tardive des malades dans les centres de santé favorise la prépondérance des cas ulcérés de l’ulcère de Buruli.

Published: January 2023

Irrespective of co-trimoxazole prophylaxis, diarrhea among HIV-exposed infants (HEI) and people living with HIV (PLWHA) remains unacceptably high. We aimed to determine the combined effect of improved water supply interventions and co-trimoxazole prophylaxis on frequency and severity of diarrhea among HEI and PLWHA. Using key search terms of safe sanitation, improved water supply, WaSH, co-trimoxazole prophylaxis, HIV-exposed, PLWHA, morbidity, mortality, diarrhea; we searched for published articles in PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, AMED, CINAHL, DOAJ and Google Scholar databases guided by the acceptance practice developed by PROSPERO and COCHRANE. A PRISMA flow diagram was used to explain on the number of articles retrieved, retained, excluded and justifications for every action. A Mixed Method Appraisal Tool (MMAT) was used to assess the quality of the methodology of the selected studies. Safe water supply interventions and co-trimoxazole prophylaxis together reduced diarrhea episodes by up to 67% (IRR _ 0.33, 95% CI 0.24–0.46, P < 0.0001). The combined interventions resulted in 27% risk reduction in HIV disease progression whilst safe water alone was associated with reductions in the longitudinal prevalence of reported diarrhea of up to 53% among HIV exposed infants aged ≤2 years (LPR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.30–0.73, P < 0.001). An expanded WaSH response in fighting HIV is critical to prevent diarrhea and rapid disease progression. The protocol was published in the PROSPERO database with registration number CRD42021240512.

Zarówno w doktrynie, jak i w orzecznictwie sądów powszechnych zarysowały się dwa odmienne stanowiska w zakresie charakteru typu czynu zabronionego opisanego w art. 200a § 2 k.k., w szczególności jeśli chodzi o możliwość zastosowania do niego regulacji dotyczących form stadialnych. Celem glosy jest uargumentowanie, dlaczego kierunek interpretacyjny przyjęty przez Sąd Najwyższy w niniejszym orzeczeniu jest słuszny i najbardziej odpowiada aktualnemu stanowi prawnemu.
Historyczne uwarunkowania oraz perspektywy europejskiego rynku pracy wobec przemysłu 4.0
Authors: Hązła Marceli
Published: January 2023

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie historycznych uwarunkowań oraz perspektyw dla europejskiego rynku pracy wobec przemysłu 4.0, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem sytuacji osób młodych. Najważniejsze determinanty tej sytuacji związane są z przemysłem 4.0 oraz koniecznością uwzględnienia zasad zrównoważonego rozwoju w polityce gospodarczej państw członkowskich. Jest to istotne wyzwanie dla Unii Europejskiej, jako że brak możliwości podjęcia godnej pracy ogranicza szanse młodego pokolenia, które będzie odpowiedzialne za rozwiązywanie globalnych problemów w kontekście zrównoważonego rozwoju. Dlatego też kraje Unii Europejskiej powinny udzielać wsparcia swoim rynkom pracy zarówno poprzez rozbudowę sieci zabezpieczeń socjalnych, dążenie do zwiększenia innowacyjności swoich gospodarek, jak i wzmacnianie społecznej rezyliencji i odporności na zakłócenia wywołane zmianami technologicznymi. Artykuł ma charakter analityczno‐opisowy, a przyjętą w nim metodą badawczą jest analiza dorobku literatury oraz danych statystycznych.

W nadchodzących latach w związku z transformacją energetyczną w Polsce sektor ciepłownictwa systemowego stanie przed wyzwaniem zmniejszenia emisyjności wytwarzanego ciepła. Jednym z rozwiązań jest wdrożenie małych reaktorów modułowych mogących w zeroemisyjny sposób zastąpić obecne jednostki wytwórcze. W poniższym artykule autor dokonał analizy dokumentów strategicznych będących podstawą do wdrożenia energetyki jądrowej w Polsce. Ponadto w rezultacie zastosowania metody prawnoporównawczej autor zbadał status prawny małych reaktorów modułowych w polskim prawie energii jądrowej, a także zawarł postulaty de lege ferenda w odniesieniu do prawnych aspektów rozwoju tej technologii w przyszłości.
Modele wyboru głowy państwa na przykładzie Republiki Federalnej Niemiec, Republiki Włoskiej oraz Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej
Authors: Żochowski Wiktor
Published: January 2023

Prezydent w polskim porządku prawnym jest organem, którego pozycja ustrojowa jest dość specyficzna. Mimo sprawowania silnego mandatu, który wynika z wyborów powszechnych, nie odpowiada on faktycznym kompetencjom prezydenta. Artykuł ma na celu analizę modelu głowy państwa. Za model wzorcowy obrano Republikę Federalną Niemiec oraz Republikę Włoską, a jako główny aspekt analizy organu prezydenckiego — znaczenie jego wyboru. Następstwem analizy są wnioski postulujące stopniową zmianę regulacji prezydenta w polskiej Konstytucji na przykładzie Ustawy Zasadniczej RFN oraz konstytucji włoskiej.
Zeznania świadka na piśmie w świetle zasady bezpośredniości i zasady swobodnej oceny dowodów w postępowaniu cywilnym
Authors: Żelezik Tomasz
Published: January 2023

W artykule przedstawiono możliwość złożenia zeznania przez świadka na piśmie, która została poszerzona nowelizacją kodeksu postępowania cywilnego z 2019 roku. Możliwość ta konfrontowana jest z zasadą bezpośredniości i zasadą swobodnej oceny dowodów, rządzącymi postępowaniem cywilnym. Ten sposób składania zeznań znacząco różni się od tradycyjnej ustnej formy zeznań, gdyż sąd nie wchodzi w bezpośrednią interakcję ze świadkiem, co powoduje, że inne są ilość i rodzaj informacji uzyskanych w procesie. W artykule został poddany analizie charakter oceny dowodów przez sąd wynikający z odmiennej formy zeznań świadków. Zaproponowane zostały również przesłanki dopuszczalności wykorzystania przez sąd pisemnej formy zeznań świadka tak, aby nie naruszać zasad postępowania cywilnego i praw stron.

Niniejszy artykuł prezentuje zagadnienia związane z kwestią legitymacji procesowej małżonków w postępowaniu cywilnym. Omówieniu i analizie poddano poszczególne przypadki występowania małżonków w procesie. Sprawy takie nie tworzą bowiem jednolitej grupy, a w ich ramach mamy do czynienia z różnorakimi sytuacjami procesowymi — będą tu mieściły się zarówno przypadki, w których legitymacja przysługuje każdemu z małżonków z osobna, jak i takie, w których występuje legitymacja łączna małżonków (oraz współuczestnictwo konieczne po ich stronie).
The Effects of Tangible and Intangible K-contents on Chinese Consumers’ Purchase Intention to Korean Products: Focusing on the Moderating Effect of Ethnocentrism
Authors:   IAGBT, Lee Jae-Eun , Yang Young-Soo
Published: January 2023

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is investigating the moderating effects of ethnocentrism, which has been overlooked in the research on the effect of K-contents on the intention to purchase Korean products.
Design/Methodology/Approach - To test the hypothesis, a survey was conducted among Chinese consumers. The survey was conducted mainly through social media and online surveys. A total of 329 responses were collected, out of which 300 were used for empirical analysis, after excluding 29 incomplete responses.
Findings - As a result of the empirical analysis, it was found that the ethnocentrism of Chinese consumers negatively moderates the relationship between the perception of tangible K-content, which is classified as Korean fashion and Korean food, on their intention to purchase Korean products. On the other hand, it was found that Chinese consumers’ ethnocentrism did not show a significant moderating effect in the relationship between their perception of intangible K-content classified as K-drama and K-pop and Chinese consumers’ purchase intention to Korean products.
Research Implications - The results of this study can have important implications for multinational corporations in international markets, to manage their brand image in countries with strong ethnocentrism. It helps in identifying the negative moderating effect of ethnocentrism in the relationship between the Korean Wave (especially tangible K-content) and the consumers’ intention to purchase Korean products.

Mathematical modeling of the kinetics of a single intake of ethanol
Authors: Nedugov G. V.
Published: January 2023

The aim of the study is to construct a kinetic equation of zero-order ethanol elimination with first-order absorption, taking into account the presystemic metabolism of ethanol, with the possibility of determining the errors in estimating the parameters of the model, as well as the implementation of the model in the format of a computer program. Analytical mathematical modeling of the kinetics of a single oral intake of ethanol has been performed. A mathematical model of the kinetics of a single intake of ethanol with its zero-order elimination, absorption and first-order presystemic metabolism has been developed. A method is proposed for estimating the limiting absolute errors of the kinetic parameters of the constructed model based on the summation of the partial contributions of the initial physical quantities. The complex of the developed computational procedures is implemented in the format of the «Alcohol Calculator V 1.0» computer program. The conclusion is made about the expediency of using the developed information and computing technology in the forensic medical expert assessment of acute alcohol intoxication.

Published: January 2023

Relevance.Soft tissue sarcoma is a heterogeneous group of relatively rare types of tumors, which demonstrates a huge variety of anatomical localization and histopathological characteristics. The rarity of soft tissue sarcomas combined with a variety of subtypes, forms of growth, progression and frequency of relapses makes it difficult to study them, make a correct diagnosis and early referral of patients for specialized care.

The purpose of study.To analyze the problem of differential diagnosis of malignant and benign soft tissue neoplasms.

Materials and methods.In the course of the work, current literary sources of domestic and foreign authors on a given topic were analyzed.

Results.Since it is absolutely impossible to determine the clinical features of the presented sarcoma, soft tissue tumors showing any of the following signs are considered malignant until the opposite is proven: increasing in size, >5 cm, deeply located and/or painful. The greater the number of these clinical signs present, the higher the risk that the soft tissue tumor will turn out to be malignant; at the same time, an increase in size is the best individual indicator. It is worth noting that the absence of concomitant constitutional symptoms, such as fever, chills, night sweats or unintentional weight loss, should not reduce the doctor's suspicion of malignancy.

Conclusion.In order to avoid erroneous diagnoses, a standardized diagnostic approach should be followed, starting from the moment of collecting the patient's medical history, clinical examination and ending with the use of appropriate imaging methods and biopsy.
