Comparative Analysis of the Sustainability of the Social Security Systems in Central Europe
Authors: Jakab Nóra
Published: May 2024

This chapter presents a comparative analysis of the country chapters along the following themes: social security and social protection, the dogmatic issues of social law. This is followed by an analysis of the constitutional arrangements, since, in addition to the arguments for and against the inclusion of social rights in the constitution, it is a question of a choice of values: whether to accept the ‘message’ of social rights, namely that the individual, the citizen, (also) has duties towards the community, the state. The starting point for the preparation of this book is an examination of compliance with the relevant articles of the (Revised) European Social Charter. This document is the most prominent of all Central European countries in this respect. The subsections on sustainability and current regulatory issues have made it possible to present the information gathered in three separate subsections: good practices, sustainability issues and country-specific regulations.
Croatia: Social Rights in a Welfare State-Wandering Between Symbolism, Irrationality and Economic Sustainability
Authors: Vinković Mario
Published: May 2024

This chapter focuses on the analysis of social rights and social security in the Republic of Croatia, primarily through the lens of Articles 11-17 of the European Social Charter of the Council of Europe, which Croatia ratified on 26 February 2003, along with the Additional Protocol to the European Social Charter Providing for a System of Collective Complaints. The vulnerability of social rights is undisputed in the conditions of their permanent stratification as a con- sequence of social and political transitions in recent decades and demographic challenges and migrations that Europe predominantly faces. Thus, the provision and realisation of rights in the areas of social welfare, healthcare, and assistance to vulnerable groups, such as persons with disabilities, children, youth, and the elderly, pose a particular risk. Croatia is already determined as an indivisible, democratic, and social state by Article 1 of the Constitution, with social justice, inter alia, elevated to the level of the highest value of the constitutional order and the foundation for interpreting the Constitution itself, as stated in Article 3. In such conditions, political elites have an undeniable responsibility to ensure and implement the rights proclaimed by constitutional provi- sions, which are perpetually threatened by national, regional, and global challenges, including material deficiencies that inevitably accompany planned measures of relevant social policies. Therefore, this chapter furnishes insight into the reality of implementing constitutional provisions, the application of relevant leg- islative solutions, and compliance with the aforementioned provisions of the European Social Charter of the Council of Europe. The substantive structure of the chapter should serve as a scientific foundation for further research efforts of interested PhD students in the Central-European environment.

"In Vitro Evaluation of the Antiplatelet Activity of Paravat Shakrita"
Authors: Kumbar Prakash , Kore Naresh
Published: May 2024

Platelet aggregation, a crucial process in thrombotic disorders, underscores the necessity for effective preventive and therapeutic measures. This study compares the antiplatelet effects of Aspirin, a well-established drug, with Paravat Shakrita, a lesser-known formulation from Ayurvedic texts. It underwent GCMS and microbiological analysis to determine its chemical composition and microbial load. Using an in vitro model with rat blood samples, we conducted a Platelet Aggregation Inhibition Assay. As expected, Aspirin inhibited platelet aggregation in a concentration-dependent manner, consistent with its known mechanism. Despite limited documentation, Paravat Shakrita exhibited potent antiplatelet properties, also showing dose-dependent effects. Interestingly, Paravat Shakrita demonstrated comparable or even superior effects at higher concentrations compared to Aspirin. The IC50 values revealed similar inhibitory potency between Paravat Shakrita and Aspirin. This comparison unveiled distinct mechanisms of action, providing various therapeutic options against platelet-mediated thrombosis. While promising, further investigation is crucial to understand Paravat Shakrita's mechanism, ensure its safety, and determine its clinical significance.

Published: May 2024

A cross-sectional descriptive study through the online survey was conducted within a month to describe the status of post-COVID-19 symptoms, quality of life, and related factors among Vietnamese students. The questionnaire consists of three main parts: Part 1: Personal information; Part 2: The post-COVID-19 symptoms; and Part 3: EQ-5D. 402 Vietnamese students over 18 years old had complete responses. Surprisingly, up to 78% of the total reported experiencing at least one post-COVID-19 symptom. Of these, the most reported symptoms were neurological (66.17%). Digestive symptoms were relatively uncommon with only 14.18%. Regarding the quality of life, some reported problems with pain and discomfort (25.62%), and anxiety (37.56%). Self-rated health was a related factor to both the status of post-COVID-19 symptoms and quality of life. These findings suggested that more studies are needed to explore potential treatments for alleviating symptoms and improving the quality of life in recovered patients in the future.

Published: May 2024

Lupus nephritis (LN) is the main cause of morbidity and death due to the most severe complications of the kidney organ in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Immunosuppressive drugs are needed to control this disease, but currently available immunosuppressive drugs do not provide optimal results. This research used 21 Mus Musculus BALB/c mice, female, body weight 25 – 30 grams, 8-12 weeks old, healthy and active, divided into 3 groups. The group of normal mice (G1) was the negative control group, the group of lupus nephritis mice without Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) therapy (G2) was the positive control group and the group of lupus nephritis mice with HBO therapy (G3) was the treatment group. The results showed a significant reduction in anti-dsDNA Ab levels p = 0.002 (p<0.05) and proteinuria levels p = 0.005 (p<0.05) in the group given HBO (G3) compared to the group not given HBO (G2). Repair of kidney tissue damage was characterized by a decrease in inflammatory cells, a decrease in tubular constriction and a decrease in immune complex deposits in the group given HBO (G3) compared to the group not given HBO (G2). So HBO can reduce anti-dsDNA Ab levels and proteinuria, and repair damaged kidney tissue. HBO as an immunosuppressive can be used as additional therapy in lupus nephritis.

Published: May 2024

This paper reports the characteristics of the pozzolan generated at different temperatures and times of exposure for the calcining process of millet husk for the determination of optimum metrics of production. Some millet husk samples were procured from a market in Nigeria and cleaned to remove sand and other impurities. The cleaned husks were burned in a muffle furnace at temperatures of 600 ⁰C, 750 ⁰C, and 900 ⁰C, with a dwelling time of 2 hours and 4 hours each. The six resulting brands of the ashes were analysed for chemical composition using X-ray fluorescence Spectrometry and further evaluated for pozzolan classification. The microstructure of the millet husk ash (MHA) calcined at 900 ⁰C and a 2-hour dwelling time, the optimum condition, was investigated through the scan electron microscope. The summation of SiO2, Al2O3 and Fe2O3 content of 92-96%, which is more than 70% benchmark for Class C ASTM C618-12 quality pozzolan, was computed for the MHA produced at 750 and 900 ⁰C calcination temperatures and the two dwelling times; while the corresponding values were 62-63% for the specimen produced at 600 ⁰C in the furnace closed environment, implying a different brand of pozzolan. Further, the per cent silica content of the MHA brand calcined at 600, 750, and 900⁰C for a dwelling time of 4 hours is less than those of the 2 hours (32.8%, 55.2% and 52.1% respectively as against 34.2%, 55%, and 58.3%), making the 900 ⁰C temperature and 2 hours calcination period the most optimum production metric for high silica content pozzolan from millet husk bio-wastes.
The Effects of Social Anxiety on Subjective Well-Being among Adolescents: The Mediating Roles of Mindfulness and Loneliness
Authors: Öztekin Gülçin Güler
Published: May 2024

Adolescence is an important period characterized by various transitions and changes. Experiencing social anxiety is a growing phenomenon among adolescents and affects their well-being and mental health. It is necessary to pay attention and understand the factors related to social anxiety to improve the subjective well-being of adolescents. The current study aimed to examine the mediating roles of mindfulness and loneliness in the association between social anxiety and subjective well-being among adolescents. Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale Adolescent Form, UCLA Loneliness Scale Short Form, Adolescent Subjective Well Being Scale and General Information Form were used to collect data. 543 Turkish adolescents (53.6% female) participated in the study. The age range of the participants was 15 to 18 years, with a mean age of 16.45 years (SD=1.10). The results demonstrated that social anxiety was negatively associated with mindfulness and subjective well-being, and positively associated with loneliness. It has been determined that social anxiety had an indirect effect on subjective well-being through mindfulness and loneliness. Mindfulness mitigated the adverse impacts of social anxiety on subjective well-being whereas loneliness exacerbated this association. These results have shown that adolescents with high levels of social anxiety have lower mindfulness and higher loneliness, which in turn lead to less subjective well-being. The findings of the current study suggest that this situation may be ameliorable with mindfulness-based and loneliness-based interventions.

Sabemos das grandes dificuldades enfrentadas no interior da sala de aula e dos processos de ensino e aprendizagem que são extremamente relevantes para o educando enquanto cidadão em formação. Por isso, estaremos destacando nesta pesquisa bibliográfica a relevância da psicomotricidade enquanto integradora e socializadora nas práticas pedagógicas voltadas para o desenvolvimento global do aluno. Atualmente o que mais preocupa o educador no âmbito da sala de aula é a falta de acompanhamento dos pais quanto ao processo de ensino e aprendizagem, e, a dificuldade dos educandos em assimilar o conteúdo da grade curricular, muitas vezes, barateado, para estar adaptado ao ritmo de compreensão do educando. Nesta visão, sabemos que o que o aluno mais gosta nas aulas enquanto disciplina é a Educação Física, este é um contexto geral na maioria das escolas públicas e particulares. Talvez por que tenham necessidade de liberar movimentos que os ajude estar mais integrados com os espaços, talvez por que, tenham real necessidade de articular o corpo sem o engessamento da sala de aula. Por esta ótica, a Educação pode estar utilizando a psicomotricidade como uma forma a mais para, dentro de um planejamento contextualizado, dar novas formas a Pedagogia do Sucesso, minimizando assim, as práticas educativas que geram fracasso escolar, e índices cada vez mais desgovernados com relação a reprovação e evasão escolar.

Authors: Arista Paula , Firmansyah Amrie , Michelle Michelle , Trisnawati Estralita
Published: May 2024

This study looks at the impact of executive compensation and character on tax avoidance. This study also looks at the moderating influence of the proportion of independent commissioners in this connection. This study uses secondary data from financial statements from consumer products businesses listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2017 and 2021, retrieved from www.idx.co.id. The overall sample size for this study was 85 observations, as determined via purposive sampling. Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate panel data. This research concludes that executive compensation is positively related to tax avoidance, while executive character does not affect tax avoidance. Furthermore, the proportion of independent commissioners succeeded in reducing the positive influence of executive compensation on tax avoidance, while the role of independent commissioners did not have a role in reducing the positive influence of executive character on tax avoidance. This research is expected to be a means for the Indonesian Tax Authority to create policies for profiling company compensation characteristics for executives as an initial indicator of tax avoidance activities carried out by companies.

Published: May 2024

The experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of varying levels of rice bran on the sensory attributes and storage qualities of broiler meat nuggets. Three distinct groups were formed for this purpose: T1 (chicken nuggets without rice bran), T2 (chicken nuggets with 5% rice bran), and T3 (chicken nuggets with 10% rice bran). The analysis encompassed parameters assessed at 0, 14, and 28 days, with sensory evaluation conducted on the first day. The proximate composition of the nugget was examined, revealing significant differences in dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), Ash and crude fiber (CF) percentages (p<0.05). T3 exhibited notably higher DM, ash and CF content, while T1 showed higher CP. No significant disparities were observed in EE across the treatments. Storage duration significantly influenced DM, CP, ash, and EE content, with an increase noted in DM and CP over time, while ash content decreased. Surface color (CIE L*, a*, b*) measurements of the nugget samples indicated significantly higher lightness in T1 and lower lightness in T3 , with storage duration also impacting lightness, which decreased with time. Treatment had no effect on pH, but storage duration influenced it, with significantly lower pH observed after 14 days of storage. Biochemical analysis revealed that treatment did not affect free fatty acid value (FFA), peroxide value (POV), or Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), although storage duration influenced POV and TBARS values, which increased over time. During sensory analysis, including overall acceptability, no discernible differences were found among the treatments, suggesting that rice bran incorporation up to 10% in nugget preparation does not compromise consumer acceptance.

An experiment was conducted to find out the effect of different levels of wheat bran on the sensory, oxidative stability, physicochemical properties in different storage period of broiler meat nugget. For this purpose, nuggets were prepared in 3 different groups. They were T1 (chicken nugget incorporated with 0% wheat bran), T2 (chicken nugget incorporated with 5% wheat bran), T3 (chicken nugget incorporated with 10% wheat bran). All parameters were analyzed at 0th, 14th and 28th days. The sensory evaluation was evaluated at day one. The proximate composition of different nuggets was analyzed and highly significant differences were found in CP (%) and CF (%). Significantly, higher CF (%), Ash (%) were found in T3 , while CP (%) was significantly higher in T1. No significant differences were found in EE (%) and DM (%) among the treatments. Storage period had highly significant on CP only. CP (%) content is increased with increase of storage period. The surface color (CIE L*, a*, b*) of nugget samples were measured. Significantly, the highest lightness value was found in T1 and lowest value was found in T3 . Storage period had an effect on lightness value also. Increasing the storage value lightness decreased. Treatment had no effect on pH, but storage period had effect on pH. Significantly, lower pH was found in 14th days of storage period. During biochemical analysis, it was found that treatment had no effect on free fatty acid value (FFA) and per-oxide value (POV) but had effect on Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). However, storage period had effect on FFA, POV and TBARS value. Increasing the storage period FFA, POV and TBARS values increased. During sensory analysis, all parameters including overall acceptability did not differ among the treatments concluded that wheat bran up to 10% could be used in nugget preparation with no change in consumer acceptance.

Authors: Elfiana Elfiana , Yetti Krisna , Kuntarti Kuntarti , Widuri Endang , Wulandari Dyah Fitri , Rosnani Rosnani
Published: May 2024

Background: The crisis situation during the pandemic has placed an additional burden on nurses regarding the care of COVID-19 patients. This is due to several factors, including the emergence of new disease variants, a rising number of cases, limited access to information, and nurses’ psychological well-being. Therefore, it is crucial for nurses to receive support from their leadership to effectively fulfill their roles
Objective: To determine the key dimensions of compassionate leadership that have the greatest impact on the emotional well-being of nurses working in COVID-19 treatment rooms. 
Methods: The research design employs a cross-sectional approach, with the independent variable being compassionate leadership, encompassing dimensions such as presence, understanding, empathy, and assistance. The dependent variable under examination is emotional healing. The sampling technique applied is purposive sampling, resulting in a sample size of 200 respondents across eight treatment rooms.
Results: Nurses, on the whole, perceived their leaders’ implementation of compassionate leadership during the pandemic crisis as fairly adequate, scoring it at 66.4%. As for emotional healing among nurses, it was, on average, fulfilled to a level of 68.3%. Importantly, there exists a significant relationship between compassionate leadership and emotional healing. Specifically, among the dimensions of compassionate leadership, the one that had the most substantial influence on nurses’ emotional healing was “helping”.
Conclusion: Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic crisis in hospitals, nurses required assistance and support from leadership to navigate the challenges encountered while actively providing care. These interventions could be effectively incorporated by nurses to complement ongoing tuberculosis treatment therapies.
One-hour sepsis bundle in patients with sepsis shock: A case report of nursing care implementation
Authors: Dian Rahmawati , Denissa Faradita Aryani
Published: May 2024

Background: Sepsis shock is a critical stage of sepsis characterized by impaired organ function and life-threatening consequences. Optimal management of sepsis shock necessitates a collaborative approach involving an interprofessional team inclusive of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses. Prompt and accurate recognition of its clinical presentation is paramount for critical care nurses to ensure timely and effective intervention.
Objective: This case report aims to elucidate the nursing care analysis of sepsis shock patients through the application of the one-hour sepsis bundle.
Case: This case study revolves around a 69-year-old female admitted to the ICU due to sepsis shock secondary to pleural effusion and lung tumor. The patient exhibited hallmark indicators of sepsis shock, including hypotension necessitating vasoconstrictive support, fever peaking at 38.8°C, leukocytosis at 36.91 x 10^3/?L, elevated lactate levels at 2.7 mmol/L, and inadequate peripheral perfusion. Nursing diagnosis predominantly focused on assessing the risk of shock in the presence of sepsis and hypotension. The patient underwent immediate implementation of the one-hour sepsis bundle, commencing from the emergency room through ICU admission. Nursing interventions encompassed sepsis screening, continuous hemodynamic monitoring, fluid balance assessment, vigilance in maintaining airway patency, and meticulous infection control measures. 
Conclusion: Subsequent to fluid resuscitation and initiation of inotropic and vasopressor support, notable improvements in hemodynamics were observed. However, persistent elevation in lactate levels underscored metabolic dysfunction, necessitating sustained vasopressor support beyond the seventh day of treatment due to refractory shock and multi-organ failure. The adoption of the one-hour sepsis bundle emerges as a recommended guideline for nursing management in sepsis shock patients.

From Interpersonal Privacy to HumanTechnological Privacy: Communication Privacy Management Theory Revisited
Authors: Meng Xiaoxiao
Published: May 2024

Purpose: Communication privacy management (CPM) theory is a major theory explaining the tensions between disclosing and concealing private information in interpersonal communication. By considering differences in interpersonal and human-technology information disclosure and drawing
on existing work related to privacy and technology, this article presents CPM theory as a broad theoretical framework for human-technology privacy boundary management. Method: This research employed a speculative theoretical approach by drawing on existing literature and synthesizing
it to both apply and extend CPM theory’s propositions to human-technology privacy boundary management. Results: CPM theory can be applied to understand the dynamics of human-technology information disclosure and should incorporate technological literacy as a key consideration
in human-technology privacy boundary management. Legal ties characterize human-technology privacy boundary coordination instead of social ties. Additionally, in human-technology information disclosure contexts, CPM theory should provide guidance regarding managing third parties that may gain
access to information. Conclusion: CPM theory is the most comprehensive framework for how individuals manage privacy boundaries, be it in interpersonal or human-technology contexts. By considering technology as a property of technological actors instead of an actor itself, CPM theory
in human-technology contexts becomes a flexible theoretical framework for understanding information disclosure and privacy boundary management, both for existing technologies (e.g., social media, online shopping platforms, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things) and future technologies.

Published: May 2024

This research aims to improve student performance predictions using a combined SVM (Support Vector Machine) and radial basis function (RBF) approach. The developed model utilizes a combination of the strengths of SVM in handling class separation and the ability of RBF to capture complex patterns in data. Student assessment data, including math, reading, and writing scores, is used as a feature to predict student performance on tests. Preprocessing steps, including feature normalization and label encoding, are applied to prepare the data for model training. Next, the SVM model with the RBF kernel is initialized and optimized using GridSearchCV to find the best parameters. Model evaluation was carried out using the R2 metric to evaluate how well the model predicts student performance. Experimental results show that the combined SVM-RBF approach can improve student performance predictions with fairly accurate prediction results of 88%. The practical implication of this research is the development of a more accurate model for predicting student performance, which can be used as a tool to improve educational interventions and decision-making in educational institutions.

Authors: Amudha Dr. R. , Chander R. Naveena
Published: May 2024

Behavioral finance has gained increasing prominence in understanding the role of psychological factors in shaping investment decisions. This study aims to investigate the impact of various behavioral biases on the investment decision-making process of individual investors. Specifically, it examines the prevalence and influence of biases such as confirmation bias, loss aversion, herding behavior, overconfidence, and regret aversion among individual investors. The study employs a quantitative approach, collecting data through a structured questionnaire from a sample of 201 individual investors. Descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, chi-square tests, and reliability measures are utilized to analyze the data and assess the relationships between behavioral biases, demographic factors, investment characteristics, and investment decisions. The findings reveal that behavioral biases are prevalent among the respondents, with varying degrees of influence on their investment decisions. Significant associations are observed between certain biases and factors such as annual income, percentage of investment from savings, frequency of investments, and investment types. For instance, individuals with higher incomes exhibit slightly more loss aversion tendencies, while those investing a higher percentage of their savings tend to demonstrate greater confirmation bias. The study contributes to the understanding of behavioral finance by providing empirical evidence on the impact of various biases on individual investors' decision-making processes. It highlights the importance of recognizing and mitigating these biases to promote more informed and rational investment decisions. The findings have implications for individual investors, financial advisors, and policymakers in developing strategies to enhance investment decision-making and overall financial well-being.
