The Influence of Creative Problem-Solving on the Longevity of Small and Medium Enterprises
Authors: Ndlela Sphesihle , Barnes Neil
Published: May 2024

This research modeled the influence of critical thinking, creative thinking, organizational innovativeness, creative problem-solving abilities (CPS), and internal business performance factors on the longevity of small and medium enterprises. A total of 105 manufacturing and 99 construction small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were compared using a survey. Inferences were drawn using structural equation modeling. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that latent variables within the creative problem-solving model overall demonstrated moderate ability to predict longevity. However, the creative problem-solving structural equation models for both sectors showed that creative thinking strongly increased critical thinking, which increased SMEs’ longevity. For the manufacturing sample, creative thinking also increased organizational innovation, which increased longevity. The stronger manufacturing sector also demonstrated more significant paths and larger beta coefficients overall. Respecifying the structural model by introducing the business performance measure increased the size of the model coefficients. Creative problem solving, however, only exerted a weak direct influence on longevity for both sectors. Creative thinking skills strengthened critical thinking, which in turn increased the longevity of SMEs. More emphasis on creative thinking could also improve innovation skills and longevity. Better creative thinking could also improve creative problem solving. Optimizing business performance factors (sales growth, after-tax return on assets, profits after tax, market share, liquidity, customer loyalty, and image) appeared necessary for this process to be most effective. SME managers need creative thinking, critical thinking, innovative thinking, and creative problem-solving abilities. Identifying such creative problem-solving skills and leveraging them can enhance the competitive performance and longevity of individual SMEs.

The rapidly growing domain of virtual reality (VR) has witnessed considerable traction in the realm of education. Notwithstanding, a discernible void persists in the accessibility of VR content specifically tailored for the domain of Human Resource Management (HRM). This paper endeavors to explain the underlying causes contributing to the scarcity of HR-related VR content. Furthermore, the paper focuses on the reasons and implications of not having sufficient HR content in the immersive space. The paper proposes an innovative solution in the form of a “VR-HR Training Needs Identification Framework”. This conceptual framework is designed to facilitate VR content developers in pinpointing the precise core requirements inherent to HR, thereby enhancing the development process.
Research on the Impact of Digital Currency on the Money Multiplier: Insights from the Money Multiplier Formula
Authors: Xie Fengqi
Published: May 2024

This study examines the impact of digital currencies on the money multiplier. Through a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including cash leakage rate, deposit reserve ratio, time deposit ratio, and the proportion of digital currencies in circulation, the study reveals important insights into the relationship between digital currencies and the money multiplier. The findings indicate that the adoption of digital currencies reduces cash leakage rate by providing an alternative to traditional cash, thereby expanding the money multiplier. Digital currencies also influence deposit reserve requirements, either decreasing or increasing the need for reserves, depending on regulatory responses. Furthermore, digital currencies affect the proportion of time deposits, as they lower transaction costs and make long-term deposits more attractive, contributing to the expansion of the money multiplier. Importantly, the study uncovers a positive relationship between the proportion of digital currencies and the magnitude of the money multiplier. As digital currencies gain prominence and their share in the currency system increases, their impact on the money multiplier becomes more pronounced.The study highlights the implications for policymakers, central banks, and financial institutions, emphasizing the need for adaptive strategies in response to the changing landscape of digital currencies. Further research is encouraged to deepen our understanding of the broader implications of digital currencies on the economy and financial system.
Worldwide Regulation of the Medical Emergency Kit and First Aid Kit
Authors: Oliveira Abílio Tiago Barros
Published: May 2024

INTRODUCTION: On-board medical emergencies are increasing. Different geographies have different legislation and requirements for medical emergency kits and first aid kits. A comprehensive review to compare the contents of both kits was conducted, including the International Air Transport Association, European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and Federal Aviation Administration, as well as some from other geographical areas of the globe to cover continents and regions with the highest air traffic, such as Brazil, Kenya, Australia, and Taiwan.

METHODS: On June 10, 2023, a search was conducted using standardized medical terms (medical subject headings) within the PubMed® database. The relevant terms identified were “Aircraft” and “Medical Emergencies”; articles published within the last 10 yr were filtered. Subsequently, even articles published before 2013 were consulted if cited by the initial ones. The main regulatory entities’ documentation was found using the Google search engine and consulted.

CONCLUSIONS: It is impossible to be prepared for every emergency on board. Still, as doctors, we have a moral and ethical obligation to try to improve the outcomes of those emergencies. Getting a standardized report of every on-board emergency is crucial. That would make optimizing the items to include in the emergency and first aid kits easier. There are many similarities among the compared entities, but essential differences have been found. There is room for improvement, especially for pediatric travelers.

Pilot Perceptions of Wire Strikes in Agricultural Aviation Operations
Authors: Baumgartner Hannah M. , DiDomenica Rebecca , Hu Peter T. , Thomas Suzanne
Published: May 2024

INTRODUCTION: Agricultural aircraft operations are associated with unique challenges. In particular, these include maintaining awareness of obstacles associated with flight at very low altitudes. Wire strikes are a common cause of accidents in these operations.

METHODS: Focus groups were completed during the 2022 Ag Aviation Expo hosted by the National Agricultural Aviation Association with pilots who had experienced wire-strike events (N = 22). The researchers coded the transcripts using a human factors framework.

RESULTS: Notably, unplanned “trim passes” were a key stage of flight during wire-strike events. Cognitive risk factors that may have affected their performance included situation awareness, decision-making choices, and pressure to perform. Over half of subjects reported being aware of the wire before collision. Possible prevention strategies include not spraying the field due to safety risks, paying better attention to where they were in the field, and avoiding deviation from the planned route.

DISCUSSION: Wire-strike events often occur due to momentary lapses in attention, even when the pilot is already aware of the wire. This study shows that targeted approaches to prevent wire strikes in agricultural aviation operations require addressing a number of cognitive risks and human factors, rather than implementing increased preflight surveillance. These results have implications for preventing future wire-strike accidents based directly on pilot perceptions, both within agricultural operations and general aviation more broadly.

Bu çalışma, erkeklik kavramının coğrafya disiplinine yerleşmesi ve hegemonik erkekliğin mekân ver yerlerde nasıl oluştuğunu açıklamaktadır. Erkeklik disiplinler arası bir konu olduğu için sosyolog ve feminist sosyal ve kültürel coğrafyacıların çalışmalarından faydalanılmıştır. Coğrafya ve hegemonik erkeklik; hegemonik erkekliği organize etmek; radikal feminizm ve erkeklik; yer, ataerkillik ve heteronormativite bölümlerinden oluşmaktadır. Cinsiyetlendirilmiş ve cinselleştirilmiş bedenlerin üretiminde mekânlar merkezi olmuştur. Mekânlardaki gizli odalar (closet), toplumsal cinsiyet ve cinsellik performanslarının gerçekleştirildiği bir yer haline gelmiştir. Birbirlerine bağlı olan gizli odalarda erkeklik ilişkisel olarak inşa edilmiş böylece ataerkillik ve heteronormativite yeniden üretilmiştir. Bu durum gizli odalardaki eşcinsel erkeklerin ve kadınların baskılanmasına ve kadınların ikincilleştirilmesine neden olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı da Türkiye’deki coğrafya çalışmalarında bu konuların tartışılmasına katkıda bulunmak, literatürü derlemek ve bu kavramların özellikle Türkçede yerleşmesi için ortam oluşturmaktır.

Authors: Neupane Madhusudan , Bhoortel Umakanta
Published: May 2024

Efficient communication is critical for fostering social inclusion and political cohesiveness in society as well as for information transmission and reality creation. The various media models are also covered in this research, including the public sphere model, which is more accountable to the public, and the commercial model, which puts profit ahead of public service. The essay also emphasizes how the media has the ability to shape public opinion and determine political agendas. In conclusion, communication is a complex process with significant implications for society and politics. The role of mass media, whether through the commercial model or the public sphere model, is crucial in shaping public opinion and facilitating democratic engagement. While media can serve as a voice for the voiceless and a watchdog of democracy, there are concerns about its potential misuse for propaganda and misinformation, impacting public awareness and critical thinking. It is evident that understanding the dynamics of communication and media is essential for informed citizenry and a thriving democratic society.

This study evaluates the nutritional value and quality of feed and forage for camel husbandry and productivity. It focuses on two forage plant species, Acacia and Mesquite, based on mineral nutrients and contaminants for grazing and camel health benefits. The study was conducted in Jam Mahar and Tharo Mari locations of Hyderabad, contaminated lands of Oil and Gas Development Company Limited. Leaf tissue samples were collected from three trees of each plant species, oven-dried at 70°C for 48 hours, and analyzed for crude protein, fats, fiber, and ash. The plant material was digested using diacetic acid and filtered properly. The filtrate of digested samples was analyzed on Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (Nova 400) Analytik Jena, Germany. The findings of the study revealed that Acacia leaf, including pod samples, illustrated more crude protein (20.1%), fats (16%) and crude fiber (16.4) in comparison to mesquite (Devi). Findings from macro and the micronutrients of the study revealed that mesquite leaf tissues contained 36.7% and 3% more K. and Ca as compared to acacia leaf samples. Inversely to K and Ca, the Mg and Fe contents of Acacia leaf tissues were 77% and 59% higher than mesquite leaf tissue. The study found that acacia leaves have potential to meet the nutritional needs of camels and address feed shortage issues during the monsoon dry season. The findings suggest further research on the benefits of acacia leaves as fodder and their potential use in combination with other grasses to enhance various nutrients, including protein, lipids, fiber, macronutrients, and micronutrients

Grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) are included in vital crops in the world with respect to its nutritious and economic value. Botrytis grey mold, also called noble rot, harms grapes and wine quality caused by Botrytis cinerea. Other than chemicals Trichoderma species considered as important bio control agents for management of post-harvest diseases. The current study was designed to evaluate Trichoderma species for their Micoparasitic ability using a modification of a pre-colonized plate method. In-vitro efficacy of flaxseed oil against the Botrytis cinerea of grapes were determined using disc diffusion technique with different oil concentrations 0.2%, 0.6%, and 0.8%. In-vivo efficacy of most effective formulated and non-formulated Trichoderma concentrations was determined by applying on grape bunches against Botrytis cinerea. Trichoderma Harzianum is more effective and showed 67.5% growth inhibition than Trichoderma Viridae having 64% growth inhibition while flaxseed oil with 0.2%, o.6% and 0.8% concentrations showed 30.19%, 33.32% and 34.89% growth inhibition against botrytis cinerea respectively. In water-based Trichoderma concentrations (1×10⁸) showed maximum growth inhibition after 6 days that was 76.46%. However, it was observed that the percent disease severity index of the grape fruits in oil-based formulation showed 16 %, 20 %, and 18% after the 9 days of incubation whereas the water-based Trichoderma formulations showed 20%, 22%, 24% respectively  as compared with control. Trichoderma species can be considered as bio-control agent while emulsion oil can be used for better shelf life.

Published: May 2024

The present study aims to establish and substantiate statistically significant correlations between the life tasks and value orientations of future teachers in training in a digital educational environment. Valid and reliable psychodiagnostic tools were applied to measure the study variables. Two correlation matrices were constructed: one between the terminal and instrumental values and another between these values and the parameters of life tasks. The results reveal that the values “entertainment”, “high demands” and “responsibility” present the greatest number of significant correlations, which indicates that they are the most dependent values and prioritized by future teachers. A notable finding is that the parameter “integrity of life” does not correlate significantly with any of the values studied. This suggests that life integrity is an autonomous dimension in the lives of future teachers. The correlations identified in this study have important implications for the planning and organization of the quality educational process in universities, particularly in digital environments.

Published: May 2024

The article aims to analyse the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the implementation of elements of Christian concepts “God” and “Soul” in the language of poetry by Viktor Boiko – Ukrainian artist of the late twentieth – early twenty-first century. A comprehensive qualitative analysis is employed to study the peculiarities of verbalization of numerous semantic planes of the mentioned concepts in the works by Viktor Boiko. It has been found that in the Ukrainian language space elements of the Christian conceptsphere are realised in biblical, folklore and linguistic interpretation, in semiotic and verbal planes, in synchronic and diachronic aspects and are accordingly reflected in the language of Ukrainian writers.
It has been concluded that the elements of the concepts of “God” and “Soul” are a part of the linguistic picture of the world of any ethnic group, which manifests the language of poets who show their attitude to a higher power as a protector and interlocutor. That is why Viktor Boiko, as a Ukrainian poet, syncretically combining patriotism and lyrics, politics and everyday motives, satire and good humour in his works, looking for certain trends in the universe, turns to Christian concepts within the framework of “quiet poetry”.

Challenges and opportunities in the creative productivity of scientists and the demographic composition of science
Authors: Shapoval Anton
Published: May 2024

The article confidently explores the broadening of the demographic contingent of science. Since the end of the twentieth century, the problems of attracting the younger generation to science, studying international cooperation of scientists and migration patterns in science have become relevant issues. Also important are the issues of the influence of interdisciplinary education on obtaining breakthrough scientific results, determining the impact of the favorable scientific environment on the productive work of a scientist, the problems of inclusiveness of the scientific environment and the expansion of racial and ethnic representation in science. It is shown that although academic mobility of scientists is globally viewed as a process of internationalization of science, which contributes to the dissemination and exchange of knowledge and ideas, and the growth of scientists' productivity. However, given that in certain contexts mobility is associated with the loss of human resources in science, it should be viewed as a complex political problem of attracting and retaining scientists. This problem is exacerbated in times of military conflicts and socio-political crises. It is emphasized that despite the usefulness of scientists using the benefits of Open Science and participating in international research projects, attention should be paid to national and regional problems that require scientific support.

Identities of Transgender People in Ancient Tamil Literature
Authors: M Chellamuthu
Published: May 2024

In human society, it is natural to see two genders, male and female. It is somewhat surprising that the work of transgender people, who can be called the third gender, is somewhat surprising. In the Mahabharatam, the story of the birth of a transsexual is extended. In nature's creation, we find these people incarnated as transsexuals in practical life. The records of transgenders can be found in abundance in Sangam literary grammar. Transgender people, who have been marginalized in society, are denied the right to participate in public. Transgenders living in small groups in the human community have been ridiculed as "identityless." This is the situation today. In the Sangam literary records, their identity has been recognized socially. It can be said that their contribution to the level of education is low. Transgenders, who are marginalized people, are more likely to be rejected at all levels. Since they lacked the right to education, there was no context in grammatical and literary fiction in which the pedis (hermaphrodites), the transgenders, could register their right to life. No one comes forward to help in public, fearing that if they raise their voice for them, they will be respected as untouchables in society. This denial is also a contemporary phenomenon. As a result, it is necessary to compile how third-gender identities are recorded in the literary field. Transgenders, also known as hermaphrodites, exist as records in literary life. The location of such people's lives is clearly visible in grammatical and literary fiction.
La actividad científica y la génesis del conocimiento científico en los textos escolares de ciencias naturales. Un análisis de clasificación
Authors: Cutrera Guillermo E.
Published: May 2024

La enseñanza sobre la ciencia en el contexto escolar centrada en la referencia casi exclusiva a un sacrosanto método científico, omite una presentación de la actividad científica que enfatice las condiciones del nacimiento de las teorías científicas, las preguntas que los científicos intentaron responderse en su contexto histórico y las funciones para las cuales fueron creados los conceptos. La descontextualización histórica y la pérdida del carácter inherentemente humano de la actividad científica son dos consecuencias de tal presentación. La Reforma Educativa impulsada en la Provincia de Buenos Aires, República Argentina, enfatiza, reiteradamente en sus documentos curriculares, sobre el rol de importancia que la Historia de la Ciencia debe tener en la construcción de un adecuado entendimiento sobre la naturaleza de la ciencia en el alumno. El presente trabajo pretende exponer y analizar los resultados obtenidos en un análisis de clasificación elaborado a partir de las visiones sobre la génesis del conocimiento científico que son  presentadas en los textos escolares.

This paper will start with a comprehensive paper desk analysis together with an in-depth research process that should lead to the selection of innovative tools applied to digital systems. International initiatives are oriented towards increasing the quality of higher education by motivating teachers of STEM disciplines to use a multidisciplinary approach and teach with the massive support of technologies like Classroom, MS-Teams, Blackboard, etc. The central goal is to suggest and recommend a model for integrating intermediate and advanced digital electronics subjects (e.g., FPGA, microcontrollers, etc.) and ICT in international teaching approaches such as Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL), Project-based Learning (PBL) and Real Remote Labs (RRL). This is the approach sought by the European Project DECEL.
Reexamining Learning Curve Analysis in Programming Education: The Value of Many Small Problems

Published: May 2024

[to appear in EDM 2024] Analyzing which skills students develop in introductory programming education is an important question for the computer science education community. Knowledge components, units of knowledge that can be measured by performance on a set of tasks, can be used to identify key concepts and skills in a given domain. While knowledge components in other domains have been successfully identified using learning curve analysis, such attempts on students' open-ended code-writing assignments have not been very successful. To understand why, we replicated a previously proposed approach, which uses abstract syntax tree (AST) nodes as knowledge components, on data collected across multiple semesters of a large-scale introductory programming course. Findings from our replication show that, given sufficient measurement opportunities, AST nodes can provide a viable knowledge component model for learning curve analysis to understand student learning, contrary to earlier findings. In addition to providing evidence for the validity of AST-based knowledge components, we recommend a set of conditions for programming courses that enable knowledge components generated using AST nodes to be successfully observed using learning curve analysis. This supports the integration of learning curves as a tool in any environment collecting code-writing data to be used for modifying the curriculum based on student performance and monitoring the development of skills related to language elements.

La embolia cerebral paradójica siempre requiere la presencia de foramen oval; en nuestro caso, este evento sucedió por un fenómeno temporal, el cual fue la sobrecarga aguda de las cavidades derechas y la apertura del foramen oval debido al aumento de presiones como consecuencia de un tromboembolismo pulmonar masivo. Luego de una artroscopía, nuestra paciente presentó pérdida del campo visual y disnea, esta última progresiva, hasta llegar a la ventilación mecánica y shock obstructivo grave. Se realizó una angiotomografía, la cual evidenció un trombo obstructivo en la arterial pulmonar derecha; la paciente fue trombolizada con éxito y fue dada de alta de la unidad de cuidados intensivos después de 45 días. Finalmente se le diagnosticó una deficiencia de proteína C y se inició anticoagulación de manera permanente. La presencia de déficit motor y disnea en una paciente post-cirugía de rodilla, debe hacer sospechar de una tromboembolia pulmonar, la trombólisis sigue siendo el tratamiento de elección, su indicación debe ser precoz.

El schwannoma de colon es una entidad sumamente rara que puede debutar como lesión subepitelial con signos ulcerativos de melena y anemia. El estudio de imágenes nos orienta a la localización mientras que la biopsia colonoscópica no es de ayuda. Muchas veces el diagnóstico y tratamiento se efectúa con la resección de la lesión en tanto que el diagnóstico final se realiza en el posoperatorio por histopatología y por la inmunohistoquímica, la cual muestra positividad intensa para S100 y vimentina en las células tumorales con un índice de proliferación KI67 menor al 1%, por lo que se concluye que se trata de una lesión benigna. Presentamos el siguiente caso por su dificultad diagnóstica pre e intraoperatoria, clínica inespecífica y diagnóstico definitivo por inmunohistoquímica.

Objetivos: determinar el rendimiento diagnóstico de la biopsia por punción aspiración con aguja fina (PAAF) para el diagnóstico de nódulos tiroideos malignos. Materiales y métodos: estudio retrospectivo que evaluó las PAAF de tiroides realizadas en el Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen en Lima, Perú, durante un período de tres años. Se categorizó el diagnóstico citopatológico de las biopsias usando el sistema de Bethesda, se consideró las categorías V y VI como malignas y la categoría II como benigna. Se obtuvo solo una biopsia por paciente y se consideró el resultado con la categoría de Bethesda más alta. Todos los pacientes fueron sometidos a tiroidectomía y los resultados histopatológicos se categorizaron como malignos o benignos. Resultados: se incluyó a 173 pacientes con resultados citopatológicos de Bethesda II al VI. El diagnóstico citológico mostró que el 47,4% de los pacientes tenían Bethesda VI. El 59,5% de los nódulos tiroideos fueron malignos en la histopatología, siendo el carcinoma papilar el tipo más frecuente. El rendimiento diagnóstico de la PAAF fue alta cuando considera Bethesda V y VI como malignos, con una sensibilidad 91,92%, especificidad 71,67%, valor predictivo positivo 84,26%, valor predictivo negativo 84,31% y precisión de 84,28%, razón de verosimilitud positiva 3,39; pero mejoró significativamente cuando se consideró solo Bethesda VI como maligno, con sensibilidad del 90,7%, especificidad del 89,58%, precisión 90,3% y razón de verosimilitud positiva 8,71. Conclusiones: la PAAF tiene buen rendimiento. Este estudio demostró ser de gran utilidad en nuestro centro de salud para detectar errores y promover mejoras, así también como modelo para próximas investigaciones en diferentes establecimientos de salud.

Objetivo: evaluar la sensibilidad y especificidad del test G8 en el tamizaje de adultos mayores con cáncer para la realización de la valoración geriátrica integral (VGI). Materiales y métodos: el presente estudio observacional y retrospectivo se realizó en el Servicio de Geriatría del Hospital Almenara de Lima, Perú. Se revisaron los informes de VGI en las historias clínicas electrónicos de adultos mayores (> 60 años) con cáncer, ambulatorios y hospitalizados, durante noviembre de 2022 y julio de 2023. Los pacientes se clasificaron según los criterios SIOG-1 (Sociedad Internacional de Oncología Geriátrica), formando dos grupos: pacientes aptos y pacientes no aptos o unfit (vulnerables + frágiles + muy enfermos). Del test G8 se estimó la sensibilidad, especificidad y valor predictivo positivo, área bajo la curva característica operativa del receptor (AUC). Resultados: ingresaron al estudio 201 pacientes, 91 mujeres (45,3%) y 110 (54,7%) varones, la media de la edad fue de 76,2 ± 7,4 años. Las neoplasias más frecuentes fueron colorrectal, estómago, próstata y vías biliares. La prevalencia de pacientes aptos y no aptos (unfit) fue del 23,4 y 76,6%, respectivamente. Cuando el puntaje de la prueba G8 fue ≤11, la sensibilidad, especificidad, valor predictivo positivo y AUC fueron 73,4% (intervalo de confianza al 95%: 65,7-80,2%), 91,5% (79,6%-97,6%), 96,6% (91,7-98,6%) y 89% (84-93%), respectivamente. Conclusiones: el test G8 con puntaje ≤11 tendría una alta sensibilidad y especificidad, para identificar adultos con cáncer vulnerables o frágiles, que podrían beneficiarse de la VGI.
