Authors: Rajamanickam Selvi , Che’ Rus Ridzwan , Abdul Raji Mohd Nazri
Published: January 2025

This study explores the integration of Industry 4.0 (IR 4.0) technologies into Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) systems, aiming to cultivate a workforce prepared for digital challenges. With the rapid progression of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and robotics, there is a pressing need for TVET systems to evolve. This systematic literature review assesses how on-the-job training (OJT) enhanced with IR 4.0 technologies can advance TVET development. Despite the potential benefits, such as improved learning outcomes through the application of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in simulated training environments, and the customization of learning experiences through big data, there are significant challenges to address. The study follows a rigorous three-phase systematic review methodology. It begins with an identification process using key search terms across databases like Scopus and ERIC, leading to the selection of 281 articles. After screening and applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, 22 articles were finalized for full review. There is a disparity in access to these advanced technologies across different regions, potentially exacerbating existing inequalities in educational outcomes. This review aims to explore these issues comprehensively, offering a critical examination of the ways in which TVET can adapt to not only incorporate IR 4.0 technologies but also overcome the barriers to their successful implementation, thereby truly enhancing the capability of the workforce to meet the demands of a digital future.

Neuropsychiatric Side Effects After Lumbosacral Epidural Steroid Injections: A Prospective Cohort Study
Authors: Shermon Suzanna
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND: The central nervous system contains steroid receptors, particularly in the hypothalamic and limbic systems. These systems are responsible for driving certain emotions in humans, especially stress, anxiety, motivation, energy levels, and mood. Thus, corticosteroids may precipitate patients to experience these emotions. Most existing studies report neuropsychiatric side effects after oral or intravenous corticosteroids rather than epidural.

OBJECTIVES: This study examines the neuropsychiatric side effects after epidural steroid injections (ESIs), with a focus on whether certain factors in patients’ histories further exacerbate symptomatology.

STUDY DESIGN: Prospective observational cohort study.

SETTING: Fluoroscopy suite at an urban academic teaching hospital.

METHODS: Patients were called 24 hours and one week after their ESIs and asked if they experienced certain neuropsychiatric symptoms more than usual compared to baseline.

PATIENTS: Seventy-four patients undergoing a lumbosacral ESI (interlaminar (ILESI), caudal or transforaminal (TFESI)) were invited to take part in the study the day of his or her procedure.

INTERVENTION/MEASUREMENT: Assessed whether psychiatric history, gender, race, type of ESI, or the number of levels injected affected frequency and duration of neuropsychiatric symptoms at one day and one week after an ESI.

RESULTS: Significantly (P < 0.05) more patients with a psychiatric history experienced restlessness and irritability at day one than those without a psychiatric history. At week one, male gender (IRR 2.29, 95% CI 1.37, 3.83, P = 0.002), ILESI (IRR 7.75, 95% CI 1.03, 58.6, P = 0.047), and 2-level injections (IRR 2.14, 95% CI 1.13, 4.06, P = 0.019) were significantly associated to more total symptoms.

LIMITATIONS: Single center study, reliance on subjective responses from patients, lack of follow-up after one week post-ESI.

CONCLUSION(s): This study demonstrates that neuropsychiatric symptoms are rare overall after an ESI, though certain factors may influence patients experiencing these symptoms. Restlessness and irritability were more likely to occur one day after an ESI in those with a psychiatric history. Those who had a 2-level injection were more likely to keep experiencing most symptoms by week one, suggesting a possible correlation between corticosteroid dose and neuropsychiatric symptoms.

KEY WORDS: Epidural steroid injections, transforaminal epidural steroid injections, interlaminar epidural steroid injections, caudal epidural steroid injections, neuropsychiatric symptoms, restlessness, irritability, psychiatric history, anxiety, depression, dexamethasone, men, women, race, one-level epidural steroid injection, 2-level epidural steroid injection

Published: January 2025

Introduction: The association of neurodevelopmental disorders and neurological malformations in children is a complex and relatively under-documented phenomenon. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can coexist with structural anomalies such as Chiari malformation type 1 (CM-I) and primitive empty sella syndrome (primary ESS). This co-occurrence raises important questions about pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic approaches. We propose to explore this issue through this clinical case. Case Report: We report here the case of a 6-year-old boy, followed in child psychiatry since the age of 3 for ASD. The child presents with language disorder, lack of pointing and gaze fixation, hyperactivity, agitation crises, and sleep disturbances. Brain imaging revealed CM-I and primary ESS. Discussion: Several hypotheses regarding the links between neurological malformations and neurodevelopmental disorders are discussed in the light of the literature, explaining the role of the cerebellum, associated structures, and cerebral hemispheres in the pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and ASD. Conclusion: The coexistence of neurological malformations, notably CM-I and primary ESS, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD and ADHD is still under-documented in the literature. Further studies are necessary for a better understanding of these links, which could shed light on the etiopathogenesis of these complex cases, to ensure better management of these children and improve their quality of life.

A incidência de carcinoma diferenciado da tireoide aumentou de forma exponencial, com provável etiologia devido à crescente detecção de pequenos carcinomas de baixo risco. O lenvatinib, por sua vez, é um inibidor oral multialvo da tirosina quinase, o qual demonstrou atividade antitumoral, antiangiogênica e imunomoduladora em diversos tipos de câncer, incluindo o câncer de tireoide refratário ao radioiodo. O presente estudo de revisão buscou avaliar a eficácia do lenvatinib em pacientes com câncer de tireoide refratário ao radioiodo, a partir de ensaios clínicos randomizados publicados na literatura médica atual. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de revisão integrativa realizada por meio da base de dados PubMed, que levou em consideração os seguintes critérios de inclusão: ensaios clínicos randomizados; artigos publicados nos últimos 05 anos (2019-2024); que possuíam texto completo disponível nos idiomas inglês, português ou espanhol e que abordassem acerca do uso do lenvatinib em pacientes com câncer de tireoide diferenciado refratário ao radioiodo. Ficou constatado que o uso de lenvatinib em doses iniciais de 18 mg/dia e 24 mg/dia em pacientes com carcinoma de tireoide resistente à terapia com radioiodo (RAIR-DTC) revela haver diferenças significativas na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS) entre os diferentes grupos. Assim, a estratégia de prescrever doses inferiores à dose de 24 mg/dia foi associada a comprometimento da eficácia do tratamento sem beneficiar significativamente a QVRS desses pacientes. A manutenção da dose inicial recomendada de 24 mg/dia é crucial para maximizar os benefícios clínicos, considerando que a estratégia de reduzir a dose pode comprometer a eficácia sem melhorar a QVRS.

Published: January 2025

This research discusses the issues faced by UD M, which produces crispy brownie chips, where the finished goods warehouse often becomes overcrowded due to production reaching 253 boxes, while the warehouse capacity is only 48 boxes. Due to other factors as well, the owner decided to move all activities, starting from raw material storage, production, and finished goods storage, to another location. The problem is the absence of a layout for the new warehouse. With this issue, the author designed the factory layout based on the Shared Storage method, considering material handling and the FIFO picking system. This research aims to provide the owner of UD M with considerations for arranging the facility layout in the new building. In addition to changing the layout of the finished goods warehouse, the owner plans to relocate the factory. The author reorganized the new factory of UD. M based on the results of the Activity Relationship Chart.(ARC).  The research results show that the raw material warehouse, which initially measured 11.30 m², has been reduced to 10.32 m². Then, the finished goods warehouse, which initially could only hold 48 boxes, can now hold up to 123 boxes per day. By changing the layout of the production area, the production flow also becomes more organized and systematic.

The consequences of the blockade of the Ukrainian-Polish border on international business
Authors: TODOSHCHUK Andrii , PETRYSHYN Nataliia , PODOBINSKA Viktoriia
Published: January 2025

Introduction. From February 22, 2022, international business, namely the export and import of goods with Ukraine, has undergone significant changes. Many transport routes have become unsafe or inaccessible, leading to disruptions in logistics and supply chains. Checkpoints in western Ukraine have become the only transport corridors for Ukrainian exporters to EU markets. The importance of finding ways to end the blockade of the Ukrainian-Polish border determines the relevance of the research
The purpose of the paper is to identify the causes and consequences of blocking the Ukrainian-Polish border and to provide certain recommendations for resolving the conflict in order to increase the country's export-import potential.
Results. With the beginning of the full-scale war, transportation by road transport across the western borders, namely: "Krakowec – Korchowa", "Yagodyn – Dorogusk", "Rava-Ruska – Grebenne", "Shegyny – Medica", "Ustylug – Zosyn" and "Nyzhankovychi – Malchowice", became one of the safest types of export and import of Ukrainian goods with the European Union. However, due to the blockade of the Ukrainian-Polish border, international business suffered significant losses. First, the consequence of the blockade is significant losses for Ukraine, which amount to: imports - $500 million and exports - $160 million, according to the National Bank of Ukraine. Secondly, Ukraine suffered significant losses also due to damage to transport and the spilling of grain and other goods from trucks by Polish transporters. Thirdly, due to the blockade, organizations that provide military assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine face delays in the delivery of critical goods. Ending the blockade of the Ukrainian-Polish border is extremely important, because not only the economic well-being of Ukraine and Poland depends on it, but also the humanitarian situation in both countries.
Conclusion. To resolve the conflict, negotiations between the governments of both countries, the search for compromise solutions, the implementation of special temporary measures to facilitate movement across the border, and the involvement of international mediators, if necessary, are proposed. It is important to emphasize the importance of cooperation and dialogue between Ukraine and Poland to ensure stability, development and prosperity of both countries and the region as a whole.
The role and main characteristics of victims of criminal offenses against life and health that have a domestic nature
Authors: MOSKALENKO Anastasiia
Published: January 2025

Introduction. Currently, Ukraine is experiencing a significant social and political crisis, which is marked by the increasing criminalization of various spheres of life. This has led to a deterioration in state control over crime, a decrease in the standard of living for many families, and heightened sensitivity to stress factors, all of which contribute to an increase in domestic violence. These trends require further research to develop effective crime prevention measures and criminal justice strategies.
The purpose of the paper is to define the role and characteristic features of victims of domestic crimes against life and health, by examining the main factors contributing to their victimization. This involves studying how individual, social, and environmental factors influence victimization, and how these insights can inform efforts to prevent crime.
Results. This paper explores domestic crimes against life and health as a form of victimization, highlighting the interaction between personal traits of the victim, the social context, and the behavior of offenders. Victimization is not passive; it involves a dynamic process, with victims classified according to their reactions to violence-ranging from passive victims to active or latent victims. The study emphasizes the role of victim behavior and social surroundings in both enabling and preventing domestic violence. It also addresses the importance of understanding the dynamics between victims and perpetrators, noting that specific personal vulnerabilities and behaviors increase the likelihood of victimization. Societal norms and family structures also play significant roles in perpetuating domestic violence, suggesting that effective prevention strategies must encompass not only legal interventions but also broader social and cultural reforms.
Conclusion. The study concludes that victimological prevention should focus not only on criminal justice interventions but also on examining the broader social dynamics that contribute to violence. Recognizing the role of the victim in the process of preventing crimes is crucial for identifying potential victims and preventing further harm. The paper emphasizes the need for a multifaceted approach that considers both individual characteristics and broader societal factors in the fight against domestic violence.

It investigates whether existing BI platforms underpin AI adoption, using Data Envelopment Analysis as a proxy for OE and the frequency of terms like Big Data and data mining in annual reports to indicate BI usage. Employing Heckman's two-stage and Hausman firm fixed effect model addresses potential endogeneity. Results show significant OE improvements post-BI adoption, with increasing benefits over time and enhanced by R&D intensity. Additionally, this research extends to global information management, linking BI capabilities with AI readiness and offering insights into strategic technology management in the financial sector, aligning with shifts towards AI in business, thereby impacting local and global information strategies.
Implementation of sustainability in human resource management: A literature review
Authors: Banga Chantal M. , Gobind Jenika
Published: January 2025

Orientation: Truly, organisations face the challenge of implementing sustainability in their daily activities.Research purpose: This article examines the ways in which sustainability has been implemented in human resource management (HRM).Motivation for the study: Sustainability has become increasingly important in organisations, particularly regarding HRM.Research approach/design and method: This study used qualitative methodology and collected data by means of an integrative literature review that retrieved appropriate and relevant journal articles from the Business Source Ultimate database, as one of the EBSCOhost databases.Main findings: The findings suggest that green human resource management (GHRM) was the most frequently implemented concept and was combined with rare cases of corporate social responsibility (CSR) implementation. Sustainable human resource management (SHRM) was seldom implemented.Practical/managerial implications: Interestingly, contemporary studies revealed the circular economy (CE) as an economic sustainability dimension in HRM, and likewise, the ascendance of sustainable development goals (SDGs) in HRM. Regarding the process of sustainability implementation in HRM, some links have been established between sustainability dimensions and HRM, but the incorporation of sustainability into HRM was not evident from the reviewed literature.Contribution/value-add: This article ends with a discussion of some insights for future research. Moreover, the selection of sustainability and HRM in this article was significant given that sustainability can contribute towards a way of addressing and solving environmental, social and economic problems associated with organisations’ activities that could be fixed by HR. This demonstrates the existing strong compatibility between sustainability and HRM because HRM could fit in each sustainability dimension.

Background:

The use of diagnostic imaging in paediatrics has continued to rise which has raised concerns amongst healthcare professionals and researchers on the effects of ionising radiation in the treatment process, especially on the children. This review thus summarises what is known to date about paediatric radiation exposure in the KSA, and worldwide, the type, degree and frequency of imaging procedures employed, potential health risks involving radiation exposure and current trends. Diagnostic imaging in paediatric has been on the increase in the recent past and this has raised many questions on the impact of using ionising radiation amongst children. It is aimed at identifying the types and numbers of imaging prepped in the KSA, and globally, the level of radiation involved in these procedures and the related potential risks and trends. The main objective is to systematically and meta-analysis the literature data of the Saudi children flying to radiation. At the same time, the work analyses the gaps in knowledge, potential for further research and cases where Saudi practices can be considered non-compliant.

Methods:

The PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were used to search for articles using the following keywords: paediatric imaging, radiation exposure, Saudi Arabia, paediatric radiation exposure, paediatric health implications and paediatric imaging safety measures.

Results:

Research has shown that there is a high use of high-dose diagnostic imaging in children with a higher likelihood of carcinogenic and neurotoxic effects such as leucaemia and impaired memory. The review also finds out that there are no detailed protocols of radiation precautions employed in the health care sector in Saudi Arabia, which is an area of concern as it may result in overexposure to radiation.

Conclusions:

The findings of the research indicate a need for policy change as well as increased education on ways of minimising the risks of paediatric diagnostic imaging in Saudi Arabia. It is also about the time that the healthcare organisations in the KSA emulate the best practices applicable in the management of patient safety from other regions to lessen the uptake of ionising radiation.
