Published: December 2024

Advances in engineering and long‐term monitoring projects have greatly increased the sophistication of cetacean biologging methods and technology. While implantable cetacean tags naturally extrude and eventually fall off, satellite tag duration for large whales is still highly variable and often below expected longevity based on battery life alone. Causes of tag failure are difficult to determine and may include natural extrusion of the device, transmitter failure during deployment, or post‐deployment damage. Tags deployed during a study designed to assess tag performance and impacts in humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the Gulf of Maine between 2011 and 2015 were equipped with a sensor designed to detect light exposure. Light sensor readings were evaluated based on follow‐up photos of 30 whales in order to investigate whether recorded light levels could serve as a remote indicator of tag extrusion distance. There was a direct correlation between the amount of extrusion and daytime light levels; fully embedded tags recorded no light, while tags that had extruded enough to fully expose the light sensor recorded full light levels. Partially extruded tags recorded variable light levels throughout daylight hours, likely due to irregular or partial exposure of the light sensor. While the single‐sensor design cannot describe the fine‐scale rate of tag extrusion, additional light sensors placed along the length of the tag and a visible indicator of sensor orientation would greatly improve remote diagnostics. These results show that light levels may be used as an indicator of extrusion and highlight their potential value for understanding tag performance.

Authors: Санинский Р.А.
Published: December 2024

В статье представлен авторский взгляд на развитие института содействия граждан органам, осуществляющим оперативно-розыскную деятельность в области противодействия теневой экономике. Отмечено, что аксиомой является обоснованность использования всех сил и средств оперативно-розыскной деятельности в противодействии теневой экономике. Выдвинута научная гипотеза о необходимости разработки теории оперативно-розыскного противодействия криминальной теневой экономике. Указано, что отсутствие выдвигаемой теории не позволяет субъектам, вовлеченным в процесс борьбы с нелегальной экономикой, должным уровнем использовать имеющийся потенциал оперативно-розыскной работы в целях оздоровления экономической сферы, снижения уровня ее криминализации и симметричного реагирования на новые угрозы. Доказано, что исследуемое направление должно рассматриваться в трех плоскостях. В рамках первого актуализируются вопросы, раскрывающие сущность содействия, второго – анализируется содержание гласного содействия, третьего – негласное сотрудничество. Определены основные векторы оперативно-розыскной деятельности. Сделан вывод о том, что содействие граждан органам, осуществляющим оперативно-розыскную деятельность в области противодействия теневой экономике, должно выступать в качестве одного из ключевых направлений деятельности оперативных подразделений, ведущих борьбу с экономической преступностью.

The article presents the author’s view on the development of the institution of assistance to citizens to bodies carrying out operational investigative activities in the field of countering the shadow economy. It is noted that the axiom is the validity of using all the forces and means of operational investigative activities in countering the shadow economy. A scientific hypothesis has been put forward about the need to develop a theory of operational investigative counteraction to the criminal shadow economy. It is indicated that the absence of the proposed theory does not allow the subjects involved in the process of combating the illegal economy to properly use the existing potential of operational investigative work in order to improve the economic sphere, reduce its criminalization and respond symmetrically to new threats. It is proved that the direction under study should be considered in three planes. Within the framework of the first, the issues that reveal the essence of assistance are updated, the second – the content of public assistance is analyzed, the third – tacit cooperation. The main vectors of operational investigative activities have been identified. It is concluded that the assistance of citizens to bodies carrying out operational investigative activities in the field of countering the shadow economy should act as one of the key areas of activity of operational units fighting economic crime.

Abstract
The packaging of the tourism industry must involve all parties or the community and regional government so that the tourism development process can proceed according to what is expected. The aim of the involvement of all parties is to build a strong destination image and provide adequate tourist facilities so as to produce superior visitor attraction at the destination. Everyone who comes to see and enjoy a tourist area will give an impression, assessment and provide an evaluation of what they feel to determine the decision to visit a tourist attraction. Related to this, the factors of tourist facilities and destination image have an important role in the level of visitor satisfaction, because if the visit feels safe and comfortable then visitors will feel satisfied when they come to the tourist attraction, the impact is that visitors will return to the tourist attraction and the impact is that visitors will carry out promotions indirectly. to their relatives, friends and through the social media they have so that many people will know about this tourist area. Tourist facilities influence visitor satisfaction with a significance value of 2,459 > ​​t table of 2.004, so that H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected, which means that separately (partially) there is an influence of tourist facilities on visitor satisfaction. Destination image influences visitor satisfaction with a significance value of 0.438< t table of 2.004 so that H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected, meaning that separately (partially) there is an influence of destination image on visitor satisfaction. Tourist facilities and destination image influence visitor satisfaction with the calculated F value test results of 3,476 > F table of 3.17 so that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, which means that the independent variables of tourist facilities and destination image simultaneously influence the dependent variable of visitor satisfaction. Based on the results of data processing in the Model Summary table, it can be seen that the R Square value is 0.116 or 11.6%, which means that the independent variables of tourist facilities and destination image influence the dependent variable of visitor satisfaction by 11.6% and other factors that cannot be examined in this research.

Authors: Albert Enyinda, C. , Olayemi Muhammed, S. , Stephens Mobolagi, S.
Published: December 2024

Efficient management of arrival and departure headways is essential for optimizing runway utilization and minimizing delays at airports, particularly under high traffic conditions. This study presents a data-driven approach to estimate arrival and departure headways using predictive models and queue modelling techniques. By analyzing historical and real-time data from multiple sources, including flight operations, air traffic control, and weather conditions, we developed a model. These models dynamically estimate headway intervals based on factors like aircraft type, weather, and congestion levels. The study also incorporates queue models to simulate different operational scenarios, enabling more effective planning and runway capacity management. Key findings indicate that machine learning models can reliably predict headway intervals, allowing for real-time adjustments that balance safety and efficiency. Queue modelling further aids in understanding congestion patterns and optimizing runway allocation, reducing delays during peak periods. It also revealed that the time for length of arrival, and departure headways at Akure Airport. This research provides valuable insights into the potential of predictive and simulation-based methods for enhancing airport operational efficiency. It recommends the integration of these models into collaborative decision-making platforms, along with continuous model validation and compliance with regulatory safety standards. The approach demonstrates significant potential for airports seeking to manage capacity more dynamically and improve overall service quality.

Physical and Chemical Conditions Affecting Spirulina Blooms in a Natural Waterbody in Rajshahi, Bangladesh
Authors: Naz Sabrina , Banerjee Sangjukta
Published: December 2024

Purpose: Spirulina, an organic source of protein, antioxidants, and vitamins, is consumable for humans, poultry, and fisheries. Growing awareness regarding organic and vegan diets has created a spotlight on the commercial production of Spirulina, even in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, major pharmaceutical and feed companies already produce Spirulina products, but the raw materials (i.e. Spirulina) are imported from different countries. Entrepreneurs and investors are not interested in taking the risk of financing raw material bulk production. Even there is a knowledge gap that Spirulina can grow naturally in Rajshahi.
Methodology: The methodology used was a systematic literature review, which identified the knowledge gap. After that, a search was carried out to find Spirulina growing habitats. A waterbody with a Spirulina bloom was detected. Prescribed methods measured weekly data of physical-chemical conditions and cell density of Spirulina.
Findings: The first report of Spirulina, a cyanobacterial bloom, was reported from a waterbody in Rajshahi, Bangladesh in this study. During the study period, the abundance of Spirulina varied from 4.65 x 107 -5.7 x107 cells/L.  The major physical-chemical factors of water during bloom were found to vary as air and water temperature 19- 25°C and 18- 20.67°C, pH 8.00 -11.00, transparency 5-20 cm, dissolved oxygen 1.67 – 9.42 mg/l, alkalinity 28.20- 170mg/l, hardness 28.20 – 188mg/l and BOD 3.00 – 5.97mg/l. The water body in the urban area receives organic load from households nearby regularly.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The data and results support that Rajshahi's climate is suitable for producing Spirulina; thus, its commercialization is possible in this region of Bangladesh. The findings will inspire investors and entrepreneurs to invest in the Mass production of Spirulina for commercialization in northern Bangladesh. Even policymakers may formulate a long-term production strategy for Spirulina production to fulfil the local and international market demand.
O desenvolvimento do luto no contexto da pandemia do covid-19: a atuação da terapia cognitiva comportamental no tratamento do luto complexo persistente
Authors: Bulin Rayane , Alves Pereira Elso
Published: December 2024

A propagação do vírus COVID-19 levou ao alerta mundial de estado de pandemia e trouxe a todos a lembrança contínua da existência da morte devido aos altos registros de falecimento a todo momento, e as múltiplas mortes ocorridas em poucos períodos de tempo dentro do contexto social e familiar das pessoas. Este contexto trágico pode ter características únicas como a obrigatoriedade do afastamento e isolamento social em prol da proteção à saúde, e a restrição ou impedimento de rituais de despedida e velórios para que não ocorresse o risco de contágio pelo vírus. O presente trabalho verificou como tais aspectos afetam o luto natural, apontando que houve comprometimento das fases conhecidas como negação, raiva, barganha, depressão e aceitação que acabaram se intensificando ou foram negligenciadas, pois diversas famílias não puderam acompanhar o adoecido e obter informações precisas dos médicos, como também foram impedidas de ver e aproximar-se do corpo, ou também pela infecção ocorrer de pessoa para pessoa, foi visto que muitas se sentiram responsáveis pela fatalidade. A pesquisa percebeu que esse prolongamento pode ter se direcionado para o que atualmente é conhecido como “Transtorno do Luto Complexo Persistente” ocorrido quando a perda foi traumática, podendo levar a níveis mais altos de sofrimento impedindo que as etapas do luto fossem concluídas, tornando o sujeito refém de sua dor mesmo após anos se passarem e o vírus ter deixado de ser um risco. O estudo, pensando em como intervir nos sintomas psíquicos causados por essas circunstâncias, identificou que a Terapia Cognitivo Comportamental mostrou ser uma abordagem eficaz para o tratamento por ter como base a identificação, análise, reformulação de crenças e pensamentos disfuncionais, simulação dos eventos pela prática de Role Play através da arte teatral e ativação graduada para retornar o paciente às suas práticas cotidianas, e realizar a construção de novos objetivos.

Authors: Pramiu do Nascimento Debora Cristina , Bender Suzana , Miotto Bernardi Daniela
Published: December 2024

A ansiedade é um transtorno psiquiátrico com uma alta incidência global. Apesar das terapias convencionais, como farmacoterapia e psicoterapia, serem amplamente adotadas, estudos recentes têm explorado o potencial da dieta e certos compostos bioativos na saúde mental, especialmente os ácidos graxos ômega-3. Neste contexto, este estudo tem como objetivo revisar os efeitos do ômega-3 na ansiedade, analisando 13 artigos recentes selecionados para essa finalidade. Foram verificados os efeitos da suplementação de ômega-3 em diversas populações, incluindo mulheres com síndrome dos ovários policísticos, enfermeiras hospitalares, pacientes com transtornos psicóticos, indivíduos em unidades de terapia intensiva, mulheres grávidas, adolescentes com anorexia nervosa e crianças com Transtorno do Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH). Os resultados desses estudos são diversos, com alguns indicando melhorias significativas na ansiedade após a suplementação de ômega-3, enquanto outros não mostram diferenças estatisticamente significativas em comparação com o grupo controle. Os principais mecanismos pelos quais os ácidos graxos ômega-3 podem influenciar a ansiedade incluem modulação da neurotransmissão, redução da inflamação e alterações na estrutura da membrana celular. Apesar das evidências promissoras, mais pesquisas são necessárias para compreender completamente o papel dos ácidos graxos ômega-3 na ansiedade. As implicações práticas desses achados incluem o potencial das intervenções dietéticas na prevenção e tratamento da ansiedade, mas é fundamental considerar as limitações e continuar investigando para esclarecer totalmente essa relação.
Breast cancer localization by iodine seed 125I vs. wire-guided localization – retrospective case-control study
Authors: Žatecký Jan , Heralt Zdeněk , Sekret Dobroslav , Sehnálková Eva , Peteja Matúš
Published: December 2024

Introduction: For many years, the gold standard in the localization of non-palpable malignant breast tumors has been the use of wire-guided method. However, this has recently been replaced by more modern localization techniques in many institutions.
Methods: This is a retrospective case-control study comparing two localization techniques (iodine seed 125I and wire-guided localization) for localizing non-palpable tumors in patients with histologically verified breast carcinoma.
Results: The study included 62 patients – 31 with localization of malignant breast tumor by iodine seed (subgroup 125I) and 31 by wire-guided localization (subgroup FV). The average volume of the resected tissue in subgroup 125I (46.2 cm3) was statistically significantly smaller compared to subgroup FV (83.7 cm3; P = 0.0063). R0 resection was achieved in 29 cases (93.5%) in subgroup 125I and in 24 cases (77.4%) in subgroup FV (P = 0.0714). In subgroup 125I, re-resection was not indicated in any case, while in subgroup FV, re-resection due to tumor reaching the margin was indicated in 6 cases (19.4%; P = 0.01).
Conclusion: Our initial experience show that the use of iodine seeds for localizing non-palpable breast tumors is associated with the removal of a smaller volume of resected tissue compared to wire-guided localization, with a trend towards more frequent achieve­ment of R0 resection. In the subgroup of patients localized with iodine seeds, there was a smaller proportion of re-resections due to inadequate safety margins.

Patient counseling is a fundamental component of modern healthcare that aims to improve patient understanding, adherence, and satisfaction with treatment plans. This review explores the various facets of patient counseling, including its definition, significance, methods, challenges, and potential advancements. Effective counseling involves a structured approach encompassing initial interactions, information dissemination, and follow-up sessions, all aimed at addressing the unique needs of each patient.
The importance of patient counseling cannot be overstated, as it directly impacts health outcomes, reduces the risk of complications, and enhances the quality of life. By fostering open communication and trust, healthcare professionals can empower patients to take an active role in managing their health. However, barriers such as language differences, limited time, low health literacy, and psychological factors often hinder effective counseling.
To overcome these challenges, strategies like cultural sensitivity, the use of technology, and improving communication skills are vital. Integrating digital tools such as telemedicine, mobile apps, and educational videos has significantly enhanced the counseling process, making it more interactive and accessible. Furthermore, continuous professional development programs for healthcare providers are essential to equip them with advanced skills and updated knowledge for better patient interaction.
This review highlights the evolving role of patient counseling in a rapidly changing healthcare landscape. It underscores the need for personalized and culturally appropriate approaches to ensure optimal patient engagement and outcomes. By addressing existing challenges and adopting innovative methods, patient counseling can continue to be a cornerstone of effective healthcare delivery, fostering a collaborative and patient-centered approach.

Praktik money politic atau politik uang menjadi isu krusial dalam konteks politik modern, termasuk dalam masyarakat Muslim. Dalam kajian ini, penulis mengeksplorasi pandangan dua tokoh besar pemikiran Islam, Muhammad Abduh dan Rasyid Ridla, terhadap money politic melalui perspektif tafsir Al-Manar, khususnya dalam konteks Q.S. Al-Baqarah ayat 30 dan Al-Imran ayat 159. Ayat-ayat ini mengandung pesan penting mengenai kejujuran dan integritas dalam berpolitik yang relevan dengan tantangan yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat kontemporer. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis teks. Data dikumpulkan melalui studi literatur dari karya-karya Muhammad Abduh dan Rasyid Ridla, serta tafsir Al-Manar. Selain itu, kajian ini juga mempertimbangkan konteks sosial-politik yang melatarbelakangi pandangan kedua tokoh tersebut. Analisis dilakukan dengan membandingkan penafsiran kedua tokoh terhadap ayat-ayat yang berkaitan dengan integritas moral dan perilaku politik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Muhammad Abduh mengedepankan pentingnya moralitas dan etika dalam praktik politik, menekankan bahwa money politic bertentangan dengan prinsip kejujuran yang diajarkan dalam Islam. Ia berargumen bahwa praktik tersebut merusak tatanan sosial dan memanfaatkan kelemahan masyarakat. Sementara itu, Rasyid Ridla menyoroti dampak negatif money politic terhadap partisipasi politik rakyat dan legitimasi pemimpin. Ia mengajak umat Islam untuk kembali pada ajaran Al-Qur'an yang menekankan keadilan dan tanggung jawab sosial. Keduanya sepakat bahwa money politic dapat mengakibatkan kerusakan dalam masyarakat dan harus dihindari untuk menjaga kehormatan dan integritas dalam politik.

Penelitian ini menganalisis penafsiran ayat-ayat mutashabihat dalam Al-Qur'an dari perspektif Imam Al-Shawkan? sebagaimana tertuang dalam tafsirnya, *Fath al-Q?dir*. Ayat-ayat mutashabihat merupakan ayat-ayat yang maknanya tidak jelas atau samar, yang menuntut pemahaman lebih mendalam dan interpretasi yang cermat. Fokus penelitian ini adalah memahami bagaimana Imam Al-Shawkan? mendekati penafsiran ayat-ayat tersebut, serta metode yang digunakan dalam mengklarifikasi maknanya. Imam Al-Shawkan? adalah seorang ulama besar yang dikenal dengan pendekatan kritis dan moderat dalam tafsir. Dalam *Fath al-Q?dir*, ia seringkali menggabungkan metode tafsir bil-ma’tsur (berdasarkan riwayat) dan tafsir bil-ra’yi (berdasarkan pemikiran), yang memberinya fleksibilitas dalam menangani ayat-ayat mutashabihat. Penelitian ini mengungkap bahwa Al-Shawkan? cenderung menghindari takwil ekstrem yang dapat menyimpang dari makna zahir teks, namun juga tidak terjebak dalam pemahaman literal yang sempit. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif-deskriptif dengan pendekatan analisis isi terhadap teks tafsir *Fath al-Q?dir*. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Al-Shawkan? menekankan pentingnya kembali kepada prinsip-prinsip dasar agama, seperti tawhid dan keesaan Allah, dalam menafsirkan ayat-ayat mutashabihat. Ia juga menekankan perlunya menjaga keseimbangan antara akal dan wahyu dalam menafsirkan ayat-ayat tersebut. Kesimpulannya, Imam Al-Shawkan? melalui tafsirnya, Fath al-Q?dir, memberikan kontribusi penting dalam tradisi tafsir, khususnya dalam menangani ayat-ayat mutashabihat. Pendekatannya yang moderat dan berimbang dapat menjadi rujukan bagi studi tafsir kontemporer.
Interrogating Assessment in the Age of Generative AI
Authors: Blackie Margaret , McKenna Sioux , Kramm Neil , Pallitt Nicola
Published: December 2024

Generative AI (GenAI) has foregrounded important educational issues. In this conceptual paper we build on Blackie’s work on knowledge-building and assessment practices to argue that responding to GenAI in educationally sound and sustainable ways requires engagement with the purpose of a higher education. A university education should transform students’ understanding of the world, themselves, and their relationship to the world in discipline-specific ways. We need to understand what it means to be gain expertise in a field before we can consider what it means to assess competence in that field. In this article, we draw on the discipline of Chemistry to reflect on the nature of the target knowledge and knowing and how this then aligns to the approach to assessment. It is only then that we can consider how GenAI might positively or negatively affect the development and demonstration of competence. In addition, because education is inherently relational, we also have to endeavour to nurture and assess such competence on a consciously created foundation of trust.
