Reviews for multimorbidity risk in people with inflammatory conditions: a qualitative study
Authors: Gray Lauren , Bullock Laurna , Chew-Graham Carolyn A , Jinks Clare , Paskins Zoe , Hider Samantha
Published: April 2024

Background

People with inflammatory rheumatological conditions (IRCs) are at high risk of developing other conditions including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mood disorders.

Aim

To explore perspectives of people with IRCs and healthcare practitioners (HCPs) on the content and delivery of a review consultation aimed at identification and management of multiple long-term conditions (mLTCs).

Design & setting

Semi-structured interviews and focus groups with people with IRCs and HCPs in primary and secondary care.

Method

People with IRCs participated in individual semi-structured interviews by telephone or online platform. HCPs (including primary and secondary care clinicians) participated in online focus groups. Data were transcribed verbatim and analysed using inductive thematic analysis.

Results

Fifteen people with IRCs were interviewed; three focus groups with HCPs were conducted. The following two main themes were identified: reflecting on the value of review consultations; and what would a new review look like? Overall, people with IRCs and HCPs reflected that access to reviews is inequitable, leading to duplication of reviews and fragmentation in care. People with IRCs, at times, had difficulty conceptualising reviews, especially when discussing their future risk of conditions. People suggested that preparation before the healthcare review could align patient and HCP agendas as part of a flexible and person-centred discussion.

Conclusion

Any review introduced for people with IRCs must move beyond a ‘tick-box’ exercise. To gain maximum value from a review, preparation from both patient and HCP may be required alongside a person-centred approach while ensuring they are targeted at people most likely to benefit.
Dynamic Interplay: Unveiling the Biosphere-Geosphere Nexus in Carbon Cycling
Authors: Ivlev A. A.
Published: April 2024

A model describing the interaction of geological and biosphere processes is proposed. It is based on the postulate of the gravitational effect of the bodies of the solar system on the lithosphere plates' movement through magma flows and deep breathing of the Earth. The continuous movement of the plates consist of orogenic cycles. The cycles include a short-term orogenic periods of relatively fast plates' movement and long-term geosynclinal periods of relatively slow movement. The fast movement is caused by rifting, when magma breaks through the thin shell of the lithosphere and hardens in contact with sea water, forming a new plate. During the orogenic period, oceanic plates collide with the continental margin plate in the subduction zone. The energy of the collisions initiates thermochemical sulfate reduction, in which sedimentary organic matter (OM) is oxidized. The resulting CO2 rises to the surface of the Earth, spreads over the planet, initiating photosynthesis. In the geosynclinal period due to the slow plates' movement the released collision energy is insufficient to initiate thermochemical sulfate reduction.

Optimization of Particle Size Distribution with Gaussian Analysis of Albumin Microcarriers Cross-linked by Natural Phenolic Compounds
Authors: Duman Sultan , Akpolat Oğuz , Ayhan Fatma
Published: April 2024

The biodegradation of albumin into natural products and nontoxicity besides its antigenicity has many advantages in controlled drug delivery of therapeutic agents. A bifunctional covalent bonding agent, glutaraldehyde is extensively used for linking amine groups of albümin microparticles/microcarriers (AlbMC’s). But its cytotoxicity and the rapid calcification of the glutaraldehyde-treated tissue limit the use of glutaraldehyde. Phenolic compound showed non-covalent and covalent chemical interactions with proteins. The objective of this research is to prepare three different natural phenolic compound cross-linked/stabilized AlbMC’s and estimate the cross-linker concentration which is giving narrow size distributions since it is important to gain higher surface area. The influence of qallic acid (GA), tannic acid (TA) and quercetin concentrations on AlbMC’s size was investigated by Gaussian function analysis of microcarriers determined after optical micrograph measurements. Gallic acid (GA) stabilized AlbMC’s have 3.35  0.71 μm average mean size distribution while it was 3.56  0.71 μm for Quercetin and 3.71  0.69 μm for TA stabilized microcarrier formations. Average mean particle size distribution of AlbMC’s synthesized with synthetic cross-linker, glutaraldehyde was calculated as 5.12  0.50 μm. All statistical analysis were evaluated by MATLAB program. New approach for albumin microcarrier synthesis by using phenolic compounds as a cross-linker can be proposed as an alternative microcarrier preparation system with narrow size distributions.

Authors: Figueroa-Peña Ángel Rael
Published: April 2024

The objective of this writing is to develop a
methodology for the design and selection of
materials that allows for the manufacturing of a
canine prosthesis prototype based on anthropometric
measurements, element simulation, and finite
analysis. The canine prosthesis aims to restore
mobility to a missing limb of a dog due to amputation
and/or congenital malformation. The methodological
approach for this study has been determined based on
the analysis of a series of parameters, such as the
dimensions of the animal leg, as well as its weight
and the location of the amputation, to mention just a
few points. As a contribution, a prototype of an
exoprosthesis is proposed for a missing front limb,
where it should fit within the range of the leg length,
from 35 cm to 45 cm, and its weight should range
between 30 kg and 40 kg. Additionally, the
amputation should be located starting from the elbow
region, and the optimal design should be able to adapt
to different anthropometric measurements and the
needs of the dogs.

Authors: Yen Shih Meng
Published: April 2024

The distribution systems are normally protected by
inverse time overcurrent protection devices. This is
due to the natural behavior to tolerate temporal
overloading conditions on the distribution lines and
its inexpensive cost. Therefore, both radial and ring
fed distribution systems are protected using this
protection principle. However, the manual time
coordination procedure can be tedious and confusing
for the new undergraduate protection students. For
this reason, this article presents the overcurrent and
directional overcurrent protection coordination study
considering two parameter settings: time dial and
pickup current.

Effect of coloring covers on the electrical parameters of a photovoltaic module
Authors: Castillo-Campos Nohemí Alejandra
Published: April 2024

The efficiency of a photovoltaic module can be affected
by different factors, including irradiance and temperature,
so the environmental conditions to which it is subjected
have a great impact on photovoltaic generation. The
present work deals with the analysis of the electrical
parameters of a photovoltaic module when it is exposed to
the elements and the cells are covered with a layer of
plastic material, in this case cellophane, characterized by
being thin and having some transparency. The analysis
was carried out with pink, red, orange, yellow, lemon
green or light green, green, blue and purple cellophane. In
addition, a nano-ceramic gray coating to polarize crystals
was added to the tests. This with the purpose of observing
if a coating is capable of filtering light for the convenience
of the module's operation, improving its performance. The
results obtained show that the pink coating is the one that
has the least impact on the parameters, while the nanoceramic gray film has the greatest impact.

Examining Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) Adoption in Global Logistics Systems
Authors:   Korea Trade Research Association, Noh Hye-Young
Published: April 2024

Purpose - This study informs supply chain organizations about the risks of logistics system and proposes SBOM as an emerging alternative to global system management. Through experiments, it is found the factors that lead to the utilization of SBOM. This study aims to contribute to the practicalization of SBOM in Korea, which is spreading to global corporations including the United States. Design/Methodology - This study examined the factors affecting the adoption of SBOM based on the technology acceptance model (TAM). The survey was conducted among Logistics System managers. A total of 439 surveys were used in the analysis from January 23, 2023 to February 17, 2023. Structural equation analysis was conducted to validate the hypotheses of the study. Findings - Findings in this study indicate that Logistics System practitioners perceive all of SBOM’s features to be easy to use, and they are strongly associated with future adoption intentions. However, they only perceive security and relative benefits as useful features of SBOM, and not transparency and licensing. Transparency and license of the system structure do not appear to have a significant impact on supply chain operations. However, the relative advantage and security of SBOM are useful for supply chain operations, and these are strong drivers for using SBOM. Originality/value - Logistics systems have high business value because corporations in various countries and industries share information. To secure such global systems and exchange information securely, SBOM is emerging as a new alternative. However, although SBOM is spreading in the United States under the leadership of the government since 2021, its use cases are hard to find in Korea. Therefore, this study provides practical implications for corporations in Korea to securely manage global logistics systems. It is also valuable academically as an initial study on the application of SBOM to the global Logistics System, which is becoming an issue.
How Does the Level of Control, Support, and Social Integration of the Parent Firm Affect the Exploitative/Explorative Capabilities of the Foreign Subsidiary? Empirical Evidence from Korean Listed Firms
Authors:   Korea Trade Research Association, Han Ga-Rog , Lee Jae-Eun , Choe Soonkyoo
Published: April 2024

Purpose - Based on organizational learning theory, this study empirically analyzes the effect of the control level, support level, and social integration level of the headquarters on the exploitative and explorative capabilities of foreign subsidiaries. Design/Methodology – To test the research hypotheses, a survey of foreign subsidiaries of Korean listed firms was conducted, and regression analysis was performed on the 400 returned data. Findings - The analysis reveals that the level of parent control does insignificantly affect the exploitative capabilities of foreign subsidiaries but had a negative effect on the explorative capabilities of foreign subsidiaries. The level of support from the parent firm is found to have a positive effect on the exploitative capabilities of foreign subsidiaries. However, a U-shaped relationship exists between parent support and the explorative capabilities of foreign subsidiaries. The level of social integration is found to have a positive effect on the exploitative capabilities of foreign subsidiaries, but an inverse U-shaped relationship exists between the explorative capabilities of foreign subsidiaries. Originality/value - Based on organizational learning theory, this study has useful implications. It shows that the control, support, and social integration level of parent firms have different effects on the exploitative and explorative capabilities of foreign subsidiaries.

Design/Methodology - A survey was carried out by Kantar Public of 2,200 national basic livelihood act recipients from the low-income group of the whole Korean people (as of August 2022) under the supervision of the Ministry of Science and ICT to secure the response data from September 1 to December 31, 2022, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS as well as mediation effect analysis using Process Macro were conducted. Findings - First, it was found that the attitude toward digital technology, digital capabilities, and the intention of digital transformation had a significant effect on the level of e-commerce use. Second, it was found that the attitude toward digital technology did not have a significant effect on digital participation in society. Third, when the attitude toward digital technology, digital capabilities, and the intention of digital transformation affect the level of e-commerce use, and when these also affect digital participation in society, it was found that digital social capital has a mediating effect. Originality/value - This study has academic implications in that those concepts of the capability approach and the theory of planned behavior have been expanded to include digital characteristics, the level of e-commerce use levels, and digital participation in society. In addition, it contributed to broadening and deepening the range of understanding so that the level of e-commerce use and digital participation in society can increase through the verification of the mediating effect of digital participation in society.

Aiming at the adaptability and safety problems of agricultural machinery in hilly and mountainous areas, the remote driving control system of agricultural full hydraulic chassis is designed based on ARM-Linux platform. The whole remote driving system is composed of Web upper computer, server system and chassis drive system. According to the requirements of chassis operation, the STM32F407 is used as the lower computer to realize the running control and motion status monitoring of the chassis. Taking the I.MX6ULL as the hardware platform, the Linux as the software platform, and 4G communications as the Web Server, the remote driving of the chassis is realized through Web pages on the computer. It can be seen from the test results that the minimum RTT delay from the Web page driving to the lower computer is 170 ms; the maximum RTT delay is 1310 ms, and the average RTT delay is 222.75 ms. The real-time interactivity of the control system meets the needs of remote driving of the agricultural machinery. The research provides a theoretical basis and technical reference for the development of the remote driving system of the agricultural machinery.
JOB SATISFACTION AND LABOR MOBILITY OF IT-SPECIALISTS
Authors: Sannikova O.V. , Krotova A.E.
Published: April 2024

The article discusses the issue of correlations between labour (territorial) and professional migrations of IT-specialists. This group of professionals is represented by highly qualified specialists who have justifiably high incomes and constantly enhance their professional qualification. This leads to their justifiable claims to better labour conditions, consequently, to labour mobility and changing job. Such labour mobility can be the cause of staff problems for IT companies. Transformation of professional mobility into labour mobility is explained by the level of job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is seen as conformity between workers’ claims and suggested labour conditions. The aim of this work is to identify factors of IT-professionals’ job satisfaction. The research is based on the methods of online survey and questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. As a result of the research, the factors for job satisfaction have been identified: the level of wages, opportunities for professional improvement, favorable relations in the team. The relationship between these factors and the level of professionalism (grade) of employees has been established. Managerial measures to increase satisfaction with the work of IT-specialists have been revealed: to provide constant training and individualization of professional strategies, to form a motivating intra-organizational environment of professional interaction.

WOMEN IN REPRESENTATIVE BODIES OF POWER IN 2017-2021: A CROSS-NATIONAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Vershinina D.B. , Burmistrova E.S.
Published: April 2024

The paper analyzes similarities and differences in the social portrait of female politicians in the countries of Western, Eastern Europe and North America (Great Britain, Germany, Ireland, Poland, Russia, and USA), as well as the correlation between the state specifics of socio-economic and political spheres and the level of women's representation in politics. A cross-national study of the trajectories of women entering politics was implemented on the basis of the database “Women in representative bodies of power, political parties and activism, 2017-2021” prepared by the research team. The sections of the database help in covering the gender agenda of political parties, the presence or absence of gender quotas at the intra-party or state levels, the representation of women in party bodies and electoral lists for 2017-2021. They also help in providing a detailed portrait of female deputies. Based on the concept of descriptive and substantive representation, the authors identify the key characteristics of the portrait of a female parliamentarian in the selected countries and conclude that parties, in particular their regional branches or youth organizations, are the main channel for recruiting professional female politicians. Activism, despite its visibility in the media, becomes a channel for promotion to parliament for only one in five female parliamentarians in the selected countries. Based on the application of correlation analysis, an assumption is formulated, which needs to be confirmed on a larger sample, that intra-party decisions on gender quotas, rather than state ones, play a more significant role in increasing the representation of women in the party’s faction.
Pequenos times, grandes disputas

O presente trabalho buscou abordar o futebol como um fenômeno social e o encarou como parte de um processo social mais amplo. Para este empreendimento, realizamos etnografia com jogadores, dirigentes e torcedores do Catanga Futebol Clube, time de futebol amador de Passa Quatro, região sul-mineira. Foi possível compreender como essa coletividade participava ativamente de dinâmica que envolvia operações de mapeamento, em que esses sujeitos se mantinham sempre atentos às ações e aos acontecimentos, sob os contornos de sociabilidade agonística que reforçava uma conflitividade latente, cujos embates de reputação orientavam aspectos desses personagens em narrativas sociais. Assim, na condição de representantes de uma localidade marginalizada na cidade, o time de futebol se tornou fonte de respeitabilidade e oportunidade de demonstrar o valor daquele lugar – o bairro era ressignificado pelo futebol por meio dos conflitos da torcida.

Published: April 2024

Considerando o futebol uma temática consolidada no campo das ciências humanas, o presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática dos estudos que o tematizaram com relação aos seus aspectos identitários, considerando suas identidades nacional e social. A revisão buscou artigos publicados no arco temporal do ano de 2002 a 2021, utilizando quatro indexadores (Doaj, Lilacs, Periódicos Capes e Scielo) e descritores (futebol e identidades). Os resultados reafirmaram a capilaridade do futebol em dialogar com muitas áreas do conhecimento a partir dos 88 trabalhos alcançados. A presença do futebol espetacularizado ou midiático foi hegemônica nas pesquisas, em detrimento de outras versões futebolísticas, como práticas bricoladas e situadas no âmbito do lazer. Idenficou-se também um número ainda reduzido de pesquisas no Nordeste brasileiro, quando comparadas com outras regiões do país, sobretudo Sul e Sudeste.
