Authors: Sharma Kalyani , Shadanan Patel  , Mridula Devi  , Rajesh Kumar Vishwakarma
Published: September 2024

The effect of storage period and type of packaging material on the popping behaviour of roasted makhana seeds was studied. Raw makhana seeds with a diameter of 9-10 mm were roasted using a batch-type primary roasting machine and tempered for 48 hours to bring the roasted seed moisture content to about 16% dry basis (d.b.). The roasted seeds were stored in 15, 25, and 80 μm Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), 110 μm Polypropylene (PP), 140 μm Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP), and 60 μm Silver Laminate (SL) packets for six months. Popping experiment on the stored seeds was conducted at 15-days interval, and observations were made on popped makhana recovery, popping efficiency, colour of popped makhana, and expansion characteristics. The expansion ratio, expansion index, popped makhana recovery and popping efficiencies prior to storage were 2.37±0.22, 13.64±4.04, 48.53±0.50%, and 82.89±0.78%, respectively. Duncan’s multiple range tests showed that the seeds packed in 15 μm LDPE packages maintained the quality and recovery up to 60 days only. The 80 μm LDPE packets, BOPP, PP, and SL packets were found effective in maintaining popping efficiency, recovery of popped makhana, and expansion ratio more than 81.44±0.70%, 47.95±0.43%, and 2.14±0.14, respectively with no significant colour change up to 135 days storage of the roasted seeds. Significant changes in colour values of popped makhana were observed after 135 days of storage and a* value increased whereas L* and b* values decreased. This study showed that makhana seeds may be popped effectively with >47% popped makhana recovery, >16 mm average diameter and acceptable colour values up to 120 days when the roasted seeds are stored at 15.53±0.49% (d.b.) moisture content in airtight packaging material.
Episódios para uma história da gravação de campo no Brasil
Authors: Branco Germano Gustavo , Iazzetta Fernando
Published: September 2024

Neste artigo, argumentamos que a história da gravação de campo como prática artística tem sido narrada com um enfoque excessivo em protagonistas localizados no Norte Global, especialmente vinculados às tradições da música eletroacústica e da ecologia acústica. Como contraposição a essa tendência, apresentamos quatro episódios de usos da gravação de campo em território nacional que podem ser lidos como precursores dos trabalhos brasileiros de música experimental e arte sonora produzidos nas últimas duas décadas. Na primeira seção, discutimos gravações de campo realizadas em cilindros de cera pelo etnólogo Theodor Koch-Grünberg entre 1911 e 1913, e pelo antropólogo Edgar Roquette-Pinto em 1912. Na seção seguinte, investigamos o registro de cantos de animais não-humanos pelo desenhista Hercule Florence por volta de 1830, e pelo engenheiro Johan Dalgas Frisch nas décadas de 1960 e 1970. Realizados com estratégias, tecnologias e propósitos contrastantes, esses quatro episódios nos ajudam a investigar como as práticas de gravação de campo navegaram as fronteiras entre arte e ciência, documentação e criação, em diferentes períodos da história nacional.

The religious dimension of Russia's war against Ukraine: the context of national security
Authors:   National Institute of Strategic Studies, Khmilovska Olga
Published: September 2024

The author highlights the current problems of the Ukrainian state in the context of Russia's large-scale war against Ukraine. The importance of studying the religious factor and its impact on Ukraine's national security is substantiated. It is shown how, with the “spiritual” support of its original assistant, the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), the Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine in the guise of the so-called Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC-MP) has been actively proclaiming the “gathering of Russian lands” for decades. This “hostile tandem” has been building a “Russian world” on Ukrainian territory with intolerance to everything Ukrainian, pursuing a collaborationist policy in Ukraine, lobbying for Russia's interests, and becoming an important tool for influencing the minds of a large number of people. With the restoration of the independence of the Ukrainian state, Orthodoxy was supposed to become a consolidating factor in the creation of the Ukrainian nation. Instead, for decades, the UOC-MP has been constantly deconsolidating Ukrainian society, sowing church discord, and discrediting Ukraine's political and spiritual leadership in the international arena. Such activities have resulted in not only the territorial but also the spiritual occupation of our country. It is concluded that the concept of the “Russian world”, cultivated for years in Ukraine by the Kremlin through its “Orthodox” structures of the Russian Orthodox Church and the UOC-MP, was mainly the basis for the invasion of Ukrainian territories by the occupiers, which later escalated into a large-scale national liberation war in 2022. The study used data from sociological services, official documents of church institutions, and analyzed Ukrainian legislation on related issues. Certain provisions of the study can be used to further analyze the activities and spheres of influence of the Moscow Patriarchate in order to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
Political and Legal Dimension of the Prospects for Ukraine's Invitation to NATO
Authors:   Uzhhorod National University, Todorov Ihor
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the research is to reveal the possibilities of inviting Ukraine to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the context of the escalation of Russian aggression. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism, systematicity, scientificity, verification, authorial objectivity, moderate narrative constructivism, as well as the use of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and special-historical (historical-genetic, historical-typological, historical-systemic ) methods. The scientific novelty is that for the first time in historiography, the current prospects of Ukraine's invitation to NATO have been considered. Conclusions. Accession to NATO is a constitutionally enshrined main priority of Ukraine, a fundamental condition for its survival. Today, the political elite of Ukraine and Western governments are unanimous on the issue of Ukraine's membership in NATO. The Russian-Ukrainian war acts as an arena in which the political and military strategies of the global West are formed and break into the intentions of those world forces that promote anti-democratic values and, using Western technologies, intend to play a leading role in world civilization. The further development of the world system depends on Ukraine for a long period, and possibly for centuries to come. The need to invite Ukraine to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is due to the possibility of overcoming the global crisis of international security. In favor of the rapid Euro-Atlantic integration of Ukraine, the uniqueness of the military experience in the large-scale modern war against powerful Russia, the removal of the financial burden from the NATO members, the demonstration of the unity of the Alliance and the ability to respond to modern challenges testify. Ukraine demonstrates commitment to high spiritual values, such as freedom, independence, dignity and self-respect, on which the Alliance is built. Thanks to its armed forces and active civil society, it deserves NATO membership.

The war in Ukraine has triggered a number of socially negative phenomena, including high mortality rates and a massive influx of mutilated, depersonalized victims of armed conflicts who need to be identified. Despite all the measures taken by the authorities, there are still a large number of unidentified corpses in Ukraine. At the same time, the course toward European integration requires addressing a number of issues related to ensuring the basic principles of international humanitarian law, according to which the body of every deceased person has the right to be identified and handed over to relatives for burial.
Rural-urban Migration and Overweight Status in Low- and Middle-income Countries: Evidence from Longitudinal Data in Indonesia
Authors: Li Weilong
Published: September 2024

With rapid urbanization and intensive rural-urban migration, being overweight has become an increasingly common source of health risks in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, the impact of rural-urban migration on overweight status is understudied in the LMIC context. Previous studies primarily used cross-sectional data, failing to adjust for migration health selection. Furthermore, the potential gender pattern in the impact of rural-urban migration remained unclear, and the potential cumulative effect of the duration of urban residence among migrants was rarely examined with longitudinal data. Meanwhile, the mediating effects of health behavioral factors were poorly understood. Using data from the fourth and fifth waves of the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) and employing fixed-effects (FE) models (N=7267), this study provided new evidence on the impact of rural-urban migration on overweight status across time and gender. Findings suggest that rural-urban migration significantly and positively predicted being overweight, and the association was significantly stronger among women than men. The results also show that years lived in urban areas did not significantly predict overweight among migrants, and that mediating health-related behaviors did little to explain adverse weight outcomes of migrants. As the number of rural-urban migrants continues growing, LMIC governments should implement health interventions aiming for healthy weight status among migrant communities. Meanwhile, gender-specific programs targeting women should be considered. Future research should explore other potential mediators of the link between rural-urban migration and overweight.
STUDY OF THE REGULARITY CONDITIONS AT SERIAL CONNECTION OF TWO-PORTS
Authors: Harutyunyan G.V.
Published: September 2024

The possibility of preserving the regularity condition for composite two-ports formed by serial connection of the original ones is studied. Numerous textbooks, reference books, collections of problems on the theoretical foundations of electrical engineering provide a rule for determining generalized parameters at the series connection of two-ports by adding the matrices of coefficients Z' and Z'' of the original ones. These sources note that this rule is true only in cases when the regularity condition is met, i.e. pairwise equality of currents at the input and output of each of the two-ports is maintained in any mode of operation of the electrical circuit. When two-ports are connected in series, a new electrical circuit is obtained in which maintaining pairwise equality of currents in two pairs of selected branches can only be a private mode. That is why, it is doubtful that when connecting two-ports in series, the application of the known rule will take place.
All possible options for the serial connection of two different two-ports presented by an equivalent T-shaped circuit are considered. To solve the problem, the loop current method is used and a condition is determined under which the pairwise equality of currents at the input and output of each of the two-ports in the load mode is maintained. As a result, it turns out that when connecting two-ports in series, the condition of regularity of the connection is not satisfied. In two of considered cases, the two-ports are converted, and in the third case, the composite two-port is converted into one pass-through two-port.
This statement is also confirmed by determining the Z parameters of a composite two-ports by adding the matrices of coefficients Z' and Z'' of the original ones, which is satisfied only in the third of the considered variants.
MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL OF EXOSKELETON JOINT ANGLES
Authors: Khanamiryan Z.G.
Published: September 2024

Lower limb exoskeletons are used for rehabilitation purposes, so their precise control is an important issue. Classical controllers are often unable to provide high accuracy and speed, which can lead to errors in exoskeleton operation. Complexities associated with lower limb exoskeleton control systems arise from the dynamic and nonlinear nature of human locomotion. Solving these complexities involves designing modern control systems.
One of the modern approaches is Model Predictive Control, which, predicting future deviations of system state variables, performs optimization calculations and selects such input signals, in which case the error will tend to the minimum value. This controller is widely used for controlling nonlinear dynamic systems with constraints. Considering this fact, it was proposed to develop a controller with a predictive model for controlling the angles of the exoskeleton joints. Control with a predictive model assumes that the dynamic equations of the control object are known, so a nonlinear mathematical model of the lower limb exoskeleton was firstly designed, taking into account the mechanical and electromechanical components. An examination of the exoskeleton state variables and control input constraints, which were taken into account during the design of the controller, was performed, and a reduction function was defined, according to which the controller with a predictive model should perform an optimization calculation, thereby enabling the reduction of errors or inaccuracies. Simulations performed in the MATLAB/Simulink environment validate the effectiveness and accuracy of the developed controller, showing small deviations between the desired and actual joint angles during dynamic motions.
Future efforts will focus on improving control quality and validating results through empirical studies, thereby strengthening the role of model predictive controllers for the design of exoskeleton control systems.

Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Hybrid Approaches in Real Estate Price Prediction: A Comprehensive Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Naz Rabia , Jamil Bushra , Ijaz Humaira
Published: September 2024

The real estate refers to an extensive field that deals with the purchase, selling, or management of properties, and it stands out as an influential industry in the economic development process, indicating that the precise determination of the price is one of the most effective tools for decision-making among different subjects of the market and authorities. Price prediction improves investment plans, risk management, fair price transactions, and provides key inputs to economic and urban planning. This systematic review categorizes the existing approaches into three groups: machine learning, deep learning, and hybrid models, based on the selected literature from a broad search of numerous databases and using rigorous criteria. The review indicates that the traditional and current machine learning models have relatively high levels of predictive accuracy for small datasets. However, deep learning techniques are preferable for handling large and complex data, while hybrid models have even more potential to increase prediction accuracy. The present study indicate that these sophisticated techniques can enhance and enrich price forecasting models, which can be insightful to various industrial decision-makers and informative for future research endeavours.

Published: September 2024

In the contemporary digital landscape, a significant volume of data is generated through social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. This study presents a method for extracting sentiments from Twitter, focusing on two sentiment-based datasets: the Twitter and emotional sentiments datasets. After extraction and preprocessing, we employed three deep learning models: Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM), and a pre-trained Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model. We introduced Se-BERT, a model designed for emotional sentiment analysis. Our experiments showed that Se-BERT achieved accuracy levels of 97.29% for tweet sentiments (positive and negative) and 86.77% for emotional sentiments (joy, sadness, love, fear, anger, surprise). These results demonstrate that Se-BERT outperforms RNN and BiLSTM in terms of accuracy for sentiment analysis, thereby significantly enhancing information retrieval and providing a deeper understanding of user behaviour.
İDEA-DOĞA BAĞLAMINDA NEDENSELLİK İLKESİNİN KONUMU ÜZERİNE: İLKE, ZİHNİN BİR KATEGORİSİ Mİ YOKSA DOĞANIN DÜZENLİLİĞİNİ KAVRAMA ARACI MI?
Authors: Tekin Ömer Fatih
Published: September 2024

Nedensellik ilkesi, bilim felsefesi açısından oldukça önemli bir kavramdır. Doğada karşılaştığımız olayların neden gerçekleştiği üzerine düşündüğümüzde bu ilkenin varlığını keşfederiz. Ancak, bu ilke, bilen öznenin üretimi olarak mı yorumlanmalı, yoksa öznenin zihinsel üretiminden bağımsız doğanın düzenliliğini kavrama aracı olarak mı? Bu çalışma, nedensellik ilkesi üzerine düşünen iki filozofun (Hume ve Kant) görüşleri üzerinden şekillenecek ve nedensellik ilkesi gibi doğa yasalarının doğanın düzenli bir yapısı olduğunu kabul ederek böyle düzenlilikleri kavramamızı sağladığını iddia edecektir. İnsan zihninden bağımsız bir şekilde doğanın düzenli olduğu üzerine kurulu böyle bir yaklaşım, nedenselliği kategorik bir forma dönüştüren yaklaşıma nazaran çağdaş yaklaşımlarda daha çok ilgi çekici bir konuma yerleşmiştir. İnsan zihninin doğanın yasalarına uyumlu olması, doğayı anlamak bakımından önemli görünse de insan ırkının yok olduğu bir durumda bile böyle ilkelerin doğadaki düzenliliği devam ettireceği aşikardır. Çalışma, idea-doğa kavramları üzerinden nedensellik ilkesinin konumu üzerine doğa ve zihin benzerliğine dayalı bir görüş belirtme amacını taşımaktadır. Aynı zamanda, Hume ile Kant’ın nedensellik anlayışlarının detayları verilerek sonuç kısmında çağdaş bilim felsefesinde nedensellik tartışmasının güncel durumunu özetler
GERÇEKLİK PARADOKSU: GERÇEK ULAŞILAMAYACAK BİR YERDE
Authors: Çifteci Volkan
Published: September 2024

Bu çalışmada, felsefe tarihi boyunca etkisini hissettiren idea ve doğa arasındaki ayrımın izlerini sürüyorum. Söz konusu ayrıma vurgu yaparak gerçeklik anlayışımızın, paradoksal bir şekilde, doğrudan erişilmesi olanaklı olmayan bir doğası olduğunu göstermeye çalışıyorum. Var olan birçok gerilimin nedeninin, idea ve doğa arasında süregelen ayrım olduğunu söylemek çok da yanlış olmaz. Daha en baştan, fizik ve metafizik arasındaki fark bu ayrım perspektifinden anlam kazanır. Özel olarak, iç-dış, ben-dünya, özne-nesne, varlık-oluş, zihin-beden gibi ikiliklerin kökeninde idea ve doğa arasındaki ayrım bulunur. Genel olarak bakıldığında, ontolojik açıdan İdealizm-Realizm ve epistemolojik açıdan Rasyonalizm-Empirizm karşıtlığı da bu ayrımdan kaynaklanır. Genel olarak, gerçekliğe doğrudan erişilemeyeceği düşünülür. Doğası gereği dolaylı yollardan bilgisine ulaşabileceğimiz ve asla kolay ve doğrudan erişilecek gibi görünmeyen gerçeklik o halde ne kadar gerçeklik olarak adlandırılabilir. Pisagor ve Parmenides ile görünür olan, gerçekliğe doğrudan erişilemeyeceği iddiası, Platon, Descartes ve Kant gibi düşünürler tarafından da kabul edilir. Bugün modern sinirbilim de, gerçekliğin (gerçek dünyanın bilgisinin) bir temsil/tasarım (representation) olduğu görüşünü savunur. Gerçekliğe zihinden bağımsız olması, ancak zihin tarafından bilinebileceği sorunludur. Benzer şekilde, gerçekliğe doğrudan erişilememesi, onun üzerinde işlem yapılarak bilinebileceği iddiası da sorunludur. Her iki durum da, gerçekliğin kendinde halinden (in-itself) farklı olması varsayımı nedeniyle paradoksal görünmektedir.

Bodies Never Forget: The Case of Lived Bodily Experiences of Iranian Women
Authors: Bostani Leila
Published: September 2024

This qualitative research examines the lived experiences of Iranian women under the mandatory hijab law, utilizing a sophisticated theoretical framework that merges Foucault’s concept of bio-power with Merleau-Ponty’s embodiment theory. It further enriches this perspective by incorporating feminist theories of embodiment, providing a comprehensive lens to understand the multifaceted dynamics of these experiences. The research explores how women’s bodies have historically been a battleground for both oppression and resistance in Iran. By examining women’s socio-political circumstances, the study sheds light on the primary mechanisms and strategies the political power employs to regulate and control women’s bodies. Utilizing heartfelt narratives from in-depth interviews with eight Iranian women aged 25 to 45 focusing on bodily experiences, this research weaves together the experiences and resistances of these women in the face of compulsory hijab laws. This research uncovers the profound implications of disciplining and politicizing bodies on individuals’ daily lives. It delves into the nuanced effects ranging from societal pressures and institutional power exerted by the educational system to the emotional repercussions and unfulfilled pleasures resulting from such suppression. It highlights how Iranian women navigate, perceive, and push back against socio-political structures that attempt to regulate their bodies and expressions.

Published: September 2024

This study investigates the adsorptive capacity of a novel lignocellulosic material derived from reed leaves for the removal of Basic Fuchsin, a cationic dye, from aqueous solutions through batch adsorption experiments. The experimental data showed that the adsorbent demonstrated effective dye removal, with the adsorption kinetics following a pseudo-second-order model and the equilibrium data best described by the Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models. The Langumir model shows the maximum capacity adsorption was 37.59 mg.g-1 Moreover, thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption process was non-spontaneous and exothermic, highlighting the potential for optimizing conditions to enhance dye uptake and sustainability in wastewater treatment applications. In addition, characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis (BET) confirmed that the adsorbent possessed an amorphous structure with a surface area of 2.42 m².g-1 and the presence of mesoporous features. Lignocellulosic materials such as reed leaf adsorbents, effectively remove hazardous dyes from wastewater offering a sustainable solution to pollution.

Published: September 2024

Since bank customers are one of the main sources of bank income, preventing the loss of bank customers has always been the primary and struggle problem for banks. This paper chooses three machine learning methods, random forest, decision tree and logistic regression should focus to predict the leaving customers. In order to more accurately determine the factors affecting the departure of bank customers, this paper grouped the data set according to the age of over and under 40. The results shows that the prediction performance of random forest is the best one in both groups, and the logistic regression is the worst one. The precision of this model is higher in younger group than in older group, the accuracy in each group is about 90% and 76% respectively. Then the random forest method is used to return the important features for two groups. For people older than 40 years old, whether to continue to stay in the bank to buy its products is greatly affected by their Balance and Age factors. Having more balance and being younger, the more possibility to keep purchasing. While for under 40 years old customers, their counterpart behaviors are more determined by the Estimated Salary and Credit Score. Thus, when banks managers tackle customer management, they should focus more on the above factors to better prevent the loss of customers.

Authors: Wang Yajie
Published: September 2024

This study compares the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB)-led Mangdechhu Hydroelectric Project with the World Bank-supported Punatsangchhu-I Hydroelectric Project. By comparing the approval and implementation process, multilateral and regional cooperation, sustainable development factors, and challenges and coping strategies of these two hydropower projects, it is concluded that AIIB has a clear advantage in promoting sustainable energy projects. AIIB has demonstrated an efficient project approval and implementation process, as well as close multilateral and regional partnerships. In addition, AIIB has systematically focused on the environmental, social and economic impacts of the project, so that sustainable development can be balanced in the progress of energy projects. However, the agency's pressing issues include technical difficulties, environmental protection, and population resettlement. In order to meet these challenges, AIIB needs to strengthen the learning of experience, optimize the project strategy, and expand the scope of cooperation. The findings of this study have guiding value for policymakers and academia. In future energy cooperation and investment, governments, multilateral development banks and relevant institutions should learn from the practical experience of AIIB and formulate more effective and targeted policies and plans. By tackling challenges together, we will contribute to solving global energy problems and promoting sustainable development.

Published: September 2024

Geopolitical conflicts and the impact of the pandemic have triggered volatility and downward trends in the Chinese stock market, prompting investors to pay more attention to stabilizing returns and controlling risks through optimizing portfolios. This study selected nine stocks listed on the Shenzhen and Shanghai Stock Exchanges in China and first identified the efficient frontier composed of these nine stocks, then constructed portfolios with maximum Sharpe ratio and minimum volatility. The results indicate that China Yangtze Power Co., Ltd. holds the highest investment weight in all portfolios, followed by Kweichow Moutai Co., Ltd. which also holds significant weights in both portfolio types. By comparing the cumulative returns of the two portfolios with the HS300 index, it was found that the performance of all portfolios outperformed the benchmark index. This result can provide guidance for some investors in managing investments during this particular period of market downturn.

Published: September 2024

The pandemic severely affected local and small enterprises. During the lockdown, local entrepreneurs suffered due to low earnings and savings, weak informal support practices, inadequate risk transfer measures, and insufficient state recovery policies and budgets. This paper investigates the primary self-supporting practices of entrepreneurs during the pandemic, assesses how available informal support contributed to building resilience, and examines how local entrepreneurs sustained themselves during the crisis. It explores whether local practices such as self-saving, community support, and state assistance were adequate for resilience building. The study employed convenience sampling of over forty-one micro, small, and medium entrepreneurs across various districts in Nepal. Research methods included closed-ended questionnaires, phone interviews, and in-person discussions. Data analysis involved qualitative and quantitative methods, revealing that self-saving was crucial for resilience, followed by risk transfer practices. The study concludes that local self-saving capacities, coupled with community support, significantly enhance resilience among entrepreneurs. However, informal support practices and state policies for pandemic recovery fell short of expectations.

Thromboembolism during pregnancy poses a significant challenge in maternal healthcare, substantially contributing to maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Understanding its diagnosis and management is crucial for improving maternal and fetal outcomes. Objective: To evaluate the diagnosis and management of thromboembolism in pregnant women. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, from July 2022 to July 2024. The study included 175 pregnant females diagnosed with venous thromboembolism (VTE) during their pregnancy. Data were collected on patient demographics, trimester of diagnosis, type of thromboembolism (deep vein thrombosis [DVT] or pulmonary embolism [PE]), treatment modalities, and outcomes. Patients were treated with either low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) or unfractionated heparin (UFH). Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data, with results presented as percentages and means with standard deviations. Results: The mean age of the participants was 32.01 ± 2.35 years. Thromboembolism was most commonly diagnosed in the third trimester (65%), followed by the second trimester (25%) and the first trimester (10%). DVT was observed in 74% of patients, while PE occurred in 26%. Among the 160 patients treated with LMWH, 3% (5 patients) experienced a recurrence of VTE. Of the 15 patients who received UFH, 5% (8 patients) had significant bleeding complications. Overall maternal outcomes included a 3% recurrence rate of VTE and a 5% rate of significant bleeding complications. No maternal mortality was reported. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and timely management of thromboembolism in pregnancy, mainly through the use of low molecular weight heparin and a multidisciplinary care approach, significantly improve maternal and fetal outcomes. LMWH was associated with fewer complications compared to UFH, highlighting its effectiveness and safety in treating pregnant women with VTE.
