Authors: Sharma Richa , Arora Dr. Anita
Published: December 2024

Despite new professions emerging on a daily basis, students are finding it increasingly difficult to select a suitable job, which leads to career uncertainty or poor career choices. As a result, it becomes crucial to identify desired career paths and the variables that influence them. This will enable parents, educators, psychologists, and officials to take the necessary steps to prevent the wastage of resource. For this, In the Ghaziabad district, a survey was carried out to determine career preferences of male and female students across different streams and areas. Here, a surveybased sample of 600 students from government and semi government secondary schools was obtained. Career Preference Record by Vivek Bhargava and Rajshree Bhargava (2009) were used for collection of data. Using a random sample technique, schools were chosen from among Ghaziabad government and semi-government schools. Results revealed no significant difference in mean scores of career preferences of Male and Female students in all streams, except for Commerce and Management, which were preferred significantly more by Male students as compared to their Female counterparts. This, indicating better choice of career preference with higher logical thinking. Students will benefit from the study by gaining a better knowledge of their career preferences and enhancing their career maturity and thinking abilities.
Exploring Modern Breastfeeding Practices: An Insight Into Optimal Positioning For Today’s Mothers
Authors: Sharma Akansha Manoj , Roopa R
Published: December 2024

Background: Breastfeeding is a critical aspect of infant care, providing essential nutrients and fostering a strong bond between mother and baby. However, improper breastfeeding posture can lead to musculoskeletal discomfort for the mother, including back, neck, and shoulder pain, and negatively affect breastfeeding outcomes. This study aims to identify and promote optimal breastfeeding positions that prioritize maternal comfort and reduce strain. Materials and Methods: The study involved interviews with 152 breastfeeding mothers and 8 gynecologists. The mothers were asked about their breastfeeding postures and any related discomfort, while gynecologists provided recommendations for ergonomic positions. Observational data were also collected to assess posture during breastfeeding sessions. Results: The study revealed that 75% of the mothers reported lower back pain and 60% experienced neck and shoulder discomfort due to incorrect breastfeeding positions. Commonly used positions like the cradle and cross-cradle holds were identified as both beneficial and challenging depending on posture. Gynecologists highlighted the ergonomic importance of proper support for the back, neck, and arms during feeding. Additionally, 25% of the mothers fell into the obese category, exacerbating discomfort. Cultural influences also shaped preferred breastfeeding postures, with notable variations in technique and support use. The study emphasized that mothers who practiced proper ergonomic postures experienced less discomfort and were more likely to continue breastfeeding for extended periods. Conclusion: This study underscores the need for education on ergonomic breastfeeding positions to reduce musculoskeletal discomfort and promote maternal well-being. Healthcare providers should offer tailored support to help mothers find the most comfortable and effective breastfeeding posture, considering cultural preferences and individual physical needs.

Published: December 2024

In educational institutions, managing student leave requests is traditionally a manual process prone to delays, miscommunication, and inefficiencies, particularly when handling early leave permissions. LeaveSync, a leave automation system, addresses these challenges by streamlining the entire process, allowing students to submit leave applications digitally. This system facilitates the approval process by enabling coordinators and Heads of Department (HODs) to review and approve requests efficiently, incorporating digital signatures for secure verification. Additionally, LeaveSync includes a real-time notification feature for security personnel, displaying approved early leave lists at the institution's main gate to verify student identity upon exit. The system aims to enhance transparency and accountability in leave management, reducing unauthorized absences and ensuring that leave records are meticulously documented. The proposed solution not only improves administrative efficiency but also strengthens institutional security and student management. LeaveSync’s user-friendly interface, structured workflows, and secure data handling collectively present a robust approach for modern educational institutions to automate leave approvals, enhancing both operational and communication aspects of campus management.
REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION OF EFIC EJP: 28 (2024): 181–198: Personalized assessment and management of non-specific lowback pain
Authors: Wirth Brigitte , Schweinhardt Petra
Published: December 2024

Background and objective: Low back pain (LBP), and in particular non-specific low back pain (NSLBP), which accountsfor approximately 90% of LBP, is the leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide. In clinical trials, LBP is oftenpoorly categorized into ‘specific’ versus ‘non-specific’ and ‘acute’ versus ‘chronic’ pain. However, a better understandingof the underlying pain mechanisms might improve study results and reduce the number of NSLBP patients.

Databases and data Treatment: Narrative review.

Results: NSLBP is a multi-dimensional, biopsychosocial condition that requires all contributing dimensions to beassessed and prioritized. Thereby, the assessment of the contribution of nociceptive, neuropathic and nociplastic painmechanisms forms the basis for personalized management. In addition, psychosocial (e.g. anxiety, catastrophizing)and contextual factors (e.g. work situation) as well as comorbidities need to be assessed and individually weighted. Personalized treatment of NSLBP further requires individually choosing treatment modalities, for example, exercising, patient education, cognitive-behavioural advice, pharmacotherapy, as well as tailoring treatment within these modalities, for example, the delivery of tailored psychological interventions or exercise programs. As the mainpain mechanism and psychosocial factors may vary over time, re-assessment is necessary and treatment success should ideally be assessed quantitatively and qualitatively.

Conclusions: The identification of the main contributing pain mechanism and the integration of the patients’ viewon their condition, including beliefs, preferences, concerns and expectations, are key in the personalized clinicalmanagement of NSLBP. In research, particular importance should be placed on accurate characterization of patientsand on including outcomes relevant to the individual patient.

Significance statement:
 Here, a comprehensive review of the challenges associated with the diagnostic label ‘non--specific low back pain’ is given. It outlines what is lacking in current treatment guidelines and it is summarizedwhat is currently known with respect to individual phenotyping. It becomes clear that more research on clinicallymeaningful subgroups is needed to best tailor treatment approaches.

Authors: Woroń Jarosław
Published: December 2024

Morphine is one of the opioid analgesics used in the pharmacotherapy of pain. The optimal route of administration is oral.However, for it to be effective, appropriate oral forms of the drugs must be available. One of such forms are liquid forms,which, due to their pharmacokinetic profile, provide effective and safe analgesia. The paper discusses the arguments forthe use of liquid forms of morphine in pain therapy.
Investigation on the Concentration of Heavy Metals found in Local Olives and Waste Material through AAS.
Authors: Vella Ismael , Costa Chrisitine , Lia Frederick
Published: December 2024

Olives are a common food item in the Mediterranean diet. Understanding the concentration of certain beneficial and harmful heavy metals found in olives would therefore be fruitful, especially considering the predicted growth in use of olives and olive-derived extracts. In this study, the concentrations of iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, zinc, cadmium, and strontium in Carolea, Cipressina, Leccino, and Bidni olives were studied. The method followed was randomly sampling the olives from a local cultivator, manually splitting the olive flesh and pit, filtrating the olive mill waste to obtain solid and liquid waste, freezing and freeze-drying the samples for preservation, pulverizing the sample to a fine powder, digesting the samples through hot plate aqua regia, and analysing the samples through an Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. The samples and their respective calibration curves were prepared using the method of standard additions as to limit/eliminate the matrix effect. An equation was utilised to calculate the analyte concentration in the particular olive medium together with its standard error. The results obtained were then subjected to statistical tests to answer the two pairs of hypotheses set out. It couldn’t be concluded whether the samples were below the permissible cadmium concentration limits considered, set by the European Union and the Codex Alimentarius due to the standard errors of the cadmium readings being equal to/larger than the concentration limits imposed. This indicated that the method and/or equipment weren’t sensitive enough for such low concentrations. More sensitive equipment and/or method should yield better results with lower standard errors.

Published: December 2024

The maritime sector's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions represent nearly 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC), part of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), decides on all major actions the maritime sector needs to take globally to reduce GHG emissions. Several types of measures and events have an impact in this area. Regulatory-economic measures represent a very important aspect of this segment. Emissions Trading Schemes (ETS), taxation of GHG emissions, the U.S.-China trade war, the war in Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic all impact climate change. Significant contributions to reducing (GHG) emissions can also be made by implementing improved operational measures. Reducing ship speed, shortening port call times, determining optimal voyage frequency, introducing digital twin ports and, implementing cold ironing are important operational measures. The most critical factors in reducing GHG emissions are new technologies and improving existing technologies of dual-fuel engines, scrubbers’ fuel cells, and the use of clean fuels. The article contains calculations on the external costs of transporting yachts from the North Sea to the Adriatic Sea. The performed analysis is based on yacht transport calculation and shipping costs between the North Sea and Mediterranean ports. Calculations were made on external costs when vessels had 80% of the load of the main engines. The research aims to perform calculations with 60% and compare the results.

Authors:   Adriatic Expert d.o.o., Favro Srećko , Mužinić Dora ,   University of Split, Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism
Published: December 2024

The eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea has played a significant role in transportation since ancient times due to its deep bays and indented coastline. Split-Dalmatia County, particularly the city of Split, has been historically important and continues to be so today. In addition to its economic significance, this area has also become a popular tourist destination, with nautical tourism being the most important sector. This form of tourism takes advantage of the Adriatic water area and offers customized itineraries, high-quality services, and a unique cultural experience. Traditional Croatian mini cruisers, such as the ones operated by the shipping company from Krilo Jesenice, are leading in this field. These mini cruisers contribute to the local economy and prioritize sustainability and environmental protection. They are also integrated into the tourist offers of other destinations in Croatia. However, there are challenges and opportunities in maintaining and developing these traditional mini cruisers, including infrastructure, staff training, and market trends.

Augmenting an Incident Dataset with ChatGPT
Authors: Ricketts Jon
Published: December 2024

The field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) is evolving at a rapid rate, impacting ways of working across multiple industries including that of System Safety. One area of NLP is the development of advanced language models, notably ChatGPT—which is essentially a powerful artificial intelligence chatbot powered by a large language model. This paper takes an incident report dataset and augments it with ChatGPT to improve searching capability and provide answers to safety related queries. It is shown that incident datasets can be further adapted for knowledge retrival to support safety queries, however, a major limitation to deploying this method elsewhere are data protection policies. The underpinning vector database (used to retrieve relevant incident reports) demonstrated a useful semantic search ability for more accurate and meaningful searches of incident datasets. It is considered that if the outputs provide evidence or sources behind answers, and are used for advisory purposes then they can form useful tools for information and knowledge retrieval in System Safety.

Authors: Calle Vera Miguel Leonardo , Batista Hernandez Noel
Published: December 2024

La cooperación internacional en el proceso penal es esencial para combatir eficazmente la delincuencia transnacional y garantizar la justicia en un mundo cada vez más globalizado. Esta cooperación se manifiesta principalmente a través de tres mecanismos: la extradición, la asistencia judicial y la armonización de normativas. La extradición es el proceso mediante el cual un Estado entrega a una persona acusada o condenada por un delito a otro Estado que la reclama para que sea juzgada o cumpla una condena. Este mecanismo es fundamental para asegurar que los delincuentes no encuentren refugio en otros países para evadir la justicia. La asistencia judicial en materia penal implica la colaboración entre autoridades judiciales de diferentes países para investigar y enjuiciar delitos. Transmisión de datos relevantes para investigaciones penales, como antecedentes penales, pruebas y testimonios. Medidas para proteger a testigos y víctimas que pueden estar en riesgo debido a su colaboración en investigaciones internacionales. La armonización de normativas busca alinear las leyes y procedimientos penales entre diferentes países para facilitar la cooperación y la lucha contra la delincuencia transnacional. Tratados y convenciones, como la Convención de las Naciones Unidas contra la Delincuencia Organizada Transnacional, que establecen estándares y obligaciones para los Estados miembros. El resultado de la validación de la propuesta de modificación por parte de expertos en derecho respalda su pertinencia y viabilidad. La consulta está basada en criterios académicos y profesionales, confirmando que la modificación propuesta es una medida efectiva para abordar la problemática identificada en la investigación, lo que sugiere su implementación como una solución adecuada
Análisis de la Ley de Eficiencia Económica y Generación de Empleo En La Contratación de Jóvenes entre 18 a 29 años
Authors: Palma Ramos Lady Lorena , Hidalgo Angulo Heidi María
Published: December 2024

La Ley Orgánica de Eficiencia Económica y Generación de Empleo en Ecuador busca incentivar la creación de empleo juvenil a través de beneficios fiscales para empresas que contraten jóvenes menores de 29 años. Según el Ministerio de Trabajo, la ley ha logrado un aumento en las contrataciones juveniles, pero su implementación presenta limitaciones. Aunque la ley facilita la inserción laboral de jóvenes, ha sido criticada por fomentar el despido de trabajadores con más experiencia, quienes no se benefician de los incentivos fiscales, generando inseguridad laboral en sectores con empleados de mayor antigüedad.

El impacto positivo de la ley se concentra principalmente en zonas urbanas como Guayas y Pichincha, donde se han registrado la mayoría de nuevos contratos. Sin embargo, en regiones rurales y menos desarrolladas, el desempleo juvenil persiste, y la informalidad laboral ha aumentado. A pesar de que la ley contribuye a la reducción del desempleo juvenil, su enfoque limitado en beneficios fiscales no aborda adecuadamente la estabilidad laboral ni la inclusión de sectores vulnerables.

Para mejorar su aplicabilidad, se requiere complementar la ley con políticas de capacitación profesional y programas que promuevan el emprendimiento, especialmente en zonas rurales, así como establecer mecanismos que eviten la sustitución de trabajadores mayores por jóvenes.

Published: December 2024

There are many factors that directly affect tomato production, even making the crop unfeasible in some regions of Brazil. Thus, the research aimed to evaluate the fertigated production of cherry tomatoes under different types of organic substrates. The research was carried out in a greenhouse with microclimatic monitoring with the crop (cv. sweet grape) being produced in 8l pots conducted on a single stem, under cultivation different levels and types of organic substrates, being fertigated automatically via sphaguet. The results showed that the vegetative growth of the plants suffered little interference from the treatments and microclimatic conditions, but the production was drastically impaired by the microclimatic inclement weather. Thus, it is concluded that the cultivation of cherry tomatoes can be carried out in the Marajó region with decomposing wood sawdust (mill) replacing the traditional coconut fiber.
CULTURA DIGITAL: MULTILETRAMENTOS DIGITAIS NAS AULAS DE LÍNGUA(S) SABERES E DIÁLOGOS
Authors: Silva Ezilda Maciel , Ribeiro Daciléia Marinho
Published: December 2024

This article aims to discuss the importance of digital multiliteracies and multimodalities for the teaching-learning of language(s), as well as to discuss the relevance of this theme to think about new ways of teaching and learning, since with the insertion of digital information and communication technologies (DICTs) in training environments,  it has transformed the way students learn. In view of this, reflecting on how these changes have impacted teaching-learning is necessary, given that learners arrive at school environments frequently using digital technology. As a theoretical contribution, we dialogued with authors such as Rojo and Barbosa (2015); Kalantzis, Cope and Pinheiro (2020); Fofonca (2011), among others, which gave epistemological support to the research. As a methodology, bibliographic research was adopted to deepen the mentioned theme, which corroborated with our conclusions of the indispensable that it is to work on digital multiliteracies and multimodalities in times of globalization, and to emphasize the importance of this theme, we proposed the work with the digital genre, emerging from TDICs, booktubes in Spanish classes, in this way we were able to emphasize the importance of working with multimodal texts in foreign language classes (LE), and how these reconfigured the conception of texts, which now circulate in cyberspace, requiring users to have knowledge in multiple languages and multisemiosis, which requires knowledge and skills for interaction with this new textual modality, the genesis of technology and its transformations. The use of booktubes proved to be pertinent for the meaningful construction of knowledge, as it is dynamic and involves students in active and attitudinal learning, taking them out of passivity.

Epidemiology is an instrument for identifying relevant health problems, evaluating their determinants and conditioning factors. The vulnerabilities of the traditional populations of the Amazon in the face of scorpion accidents need attention from the public authorities. The objective of this study was to investigate the epidemiological aspects and vulnerabilities of traditional populations in the Amazon related to scorpion accidents. This is a descriptive, multi-method, cross-sectional study carried out in the municipality of Santarém-Pa. The first quantitative stage was carried out by the SINAN database, from 2019 to 2023, in the second stage, qualitative, interviews were carried out with victims of scorpionism, with descriptive and content statistical analysis carried out, respectively, for the different stages. The study was approved by the CEP of the State University of Pará under CAAE No.: 72294123.6.0000.5168. From 2019 to 2023, there were 926 cases of scorpion accidents in Santarém PA. 64.80% were male, aged between 18 and 64 years (70.73%), 65.77% were from the rural area and 23.76% from the urban area. Aspects of vulnerabilities: individual and social and programmatic susceptibilities emerged specific to these traditional populations. Epidemiology revealed that in Santarém, scorpion accidents can cause neuromuscular manifestations, such as myoclonus, fasciculation and a sensation of electric shock through the body. In view of the vulnerabilities, scorpionism is a socially determined phenomenon, since it mainly affects people who live in conditions of greater vulnerability and the possibilities to face it are also different, including access to health services. The study brought an in-depth view of scorpion accidents in Santarém-PA, focusing on the epidemiological aspects and vulnerabilities that affect traditional populations in the Amazon. The limitation of access to immediate care with anti-scorpion serum in health services reinforces the need to improve the response to scorpionism, especially in remote areas.
VIÉS ALGORÍTIMICO E PODER JUDICIÁRIO: UMA INVESTIGAÇÃO DOS MECANISMOS JURÍDICOS EXISTENTES
Authors: De Moura Neto Fernando José Figueiredo Uchôa
Published: December 2024

The present research aims to investigate the existence of effective legal mechanisms to curb the influence of ideology in programs that use AI in the judicial field. As specific objectives, it brings the examination of the theoretical foundations of algorithmic bias, the analysis of the use of AI in the Judiciary and, finally, the investigation of possible mechanisms of filtering algorithmic bias. Regarding methodology, it is a qualitative research, considering that the proposed discussion needs contextualization and cannot be reduced to statistical data. The hypothetical-deductive method was used through the formulation of the hypothesis: "The legal mechanisms in force are sufficient to curb the influence of ideologies and values in the programming and operation of AI". It is concluded that, in the specific case, the existing legal mechanisms are insufficient. Artificial intelligence has the potential to increase the speed and effectiveness of procedural analysis, but it needs to undergo rigorous tests to rule out possible discriminatory traits. AI should be complementary to judicial decision-making, not an essential element of it.

Bu çalışmada I. Dünya Savaşı’nda İngiliz istihbaratının Osmanlı coğrafyasına dair haber kaynakları ele alınacak ardından da Osmanlı Devleti’nin Avrupa’da özellikle tarafsız ülkelerdeki faaliyetlerinde etkili olan bir ismin Dr. Parodi’nin (Dr. Humbert Denis Parodi, 1878-1953) kimliği ve girişimleri üzerinde durulacaktır. Çalışmada öncelikle İngiltere’nin I. Dünya Savaşı patlak verdiği andan itibaren istihbarat yönetimi irdelenmektedir. İstihbarat kaynaklarının çeşitliliğini arşiv kaynakları üzerinden takip eden çalışma bu kaynakları kendi içerisinde tasnif etmektedir. Çalışmanın ikinci kısmı sayılabilecek olan bölüm ise İngiltere’nin haber kaynağı ve propaganda faaliyetlerinde etkili olan bir ismi; yaygın ismiyle Dr. Parodi’yi odak noktasına almaktadır. Savaş sırasında Avrupa’da çok sayıda Türk ve Mısırlı ile iletişim halinde olan Dr. Parodi’nin Osmanlı Devleti içerisinde Talat Paşa’ya suikast girişiminde bulunması ihtimali olabilecek derecede tehlikeli bir isim olarak görmekle beraber savaş sonu gayri resmi mütareke arayışlarında bir kontak noktası olarak görüldüğü tespit edilmektedir. Yine Dr. Parodi’nin girişimlerinde Türkler kadar Avrupa’da olan Mısırlılar olduğu görülmektedir. Hıdivviyet ailesi ile olan temasları dikkat çekicidir. Çalışmanın amacı Osmanlı Devleti’nin savaştığı ülkelerle diplomatik ve istihbarati ilişkilerinin açık aktörlerinden birisi olmayan Dr. Parodi kimliğini bu genel çerçeve içerisinde bir yere konumlandırmaktır. Parodi’nin I. Dünya Savaşı’nın sonunu getiren temaslarda da etkili bir isim olduğu anlaşıldığından onun gibi bir aktörün daha açığa çıkarılması savaşın sonunda ortaya çıkan mütareke sürecinin daha anlaşılabilir kılacaktır. Çalışmanın kaynaklarını arşiv belgeleri, telif-tetkik eserler oluşturmaktadır.

John Rogers Commons (1862-1945) was a prominent representative of American institutionalism in the early decades of the 20th century. As a political economist and sociologist, he developed an institutional approach, defining institutions as collective actions which take place within given norms such as law, habits, and customs. Additionally, he introduced the transaction as the smallest unit of interaction in economic theory. Commons' studies of the labour market, the role of law, and his social policy work in legislation made him one of the most influential proponents of old institutional economics.

The experiment was conducted at the screen house of the Department of Biological Science, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Yelwa Campus, Bauchi State, Nigeria, located at 10° 16’ 52'' N, 9° 19’’ longitude and latitude. From June 2021 to September 2021. The objective of this experiment is to identify rice cultivars with high yield potential and stability under water deficit conditions among the selected rice cultivars. A total of thirteen rice cultivars for the research were randomly collected. Using Microsoft Excel, the entire experiment was randomized in a completely randomized block design (CRBD) with four replications. The seedlings of each cultivar that germinated from the petri dish were placed in two of each in 30-cm plastic pots with drainage holes at the bottom, and 1.5 kg of soil was added to each pot. The seedlings were then thinned to one per pot. All seedlings were given continuous flooding for 28 days after sowing (DAS) to slightly above soil saturation. Adequate irrigation was maintained for the control treatments (CF), while irrigation was withheld until the soil moisture reduces in the drought stress treatments (WD). Irrigation was resumed on the water deficit treatments after some days, and continuous alternate wetting and drying were maintained in the water deficit treatment up to rice maturity. Compound fertilizer (NPK 15-15-15) corresponding to 200 kg/ha-1 applications (2 weeks after transferring to the pots and at the panicle initiation stage) and application of urea 45 DAP. The results showed that FARO 38, FARO 45, FARO 52, and FARO 64 have high yield potential and stability under water stress experiments among the thirteen rice cultivars randomly selected.
