Bronchopneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung parenchyma caused by microorganisms. Microorganisms enter the lungs through the respiratory tract into the bronchioles and alveoli and stimulate epithelial cells to produce mucus, causing accumulation of secretions in the alveoli (Utami et al., 2023). According to data from (WHO, 2022) In 2019, 740,180 people died from bronchopneumonia, which caused 14% of deaths in children under 5 years. The number of bronchopneumonia cases in children in developing countries is 82% higher compared to 0.5% cases in developed countries (Syahrinisya et al., 2024). The purpose of this writing is for the author to be able to create and apply nursing care to Patient. K with respiratory system disorders: bronchopneumonia at dr. Soeselo, Regional Hospital, Tegal Regency.

1　摘要翻译

该文发表于 Archives of Physiotherapy［1］。非特异性腰痛（NS-LBP）和颈痛症（NPD）分别是导致残疾的第一和第四大常见病症。远程护理有望提高医疗保健的可持续性，减少环境污染，并为需要非虚拟护理的患者留出资源。本文回顾性分析接受元宇宙运动疗法的82 名 NS-LBP 和（或）NPD 患者，旨在探究该疗法的可行性、安全性、有效性和结果指标。研究表明，在元宇宙中进行的虚拟现实治疗是安全的（没有不良事件发生）。收集的多于40 个结果数据显示，NS-LBP 导致的残疾显著改善，改良Oswestry 腰痛残疾指数降低 17.8%；NPD 导致的残疾显著改善，颈部残疾指数降低23.2%。综上所述，这种运动疗法是可行的，也是安全的（未报告任何不良事件）；可从大量患者中获得了完整的报告；该软件可以在一系列时间点上获取结果。但仍需进一步的前瞻性研究来更好地理解我们的临床发现。

2　摘要解读与评论

尽管已有许多NS-LBP 和 NPD 的研究，并采取了药物、运动等管理措施，但30 多年来，NS-LBP 和NPD 的致残率仍未下降，给个人和社会带来巨大的经济负担［2］。白春学教授团队提出曾经只能在实体建筑中获得的医疗保健服务，如今在虚拟世界中将触手可得。而使用数字通信远程提供医疗服务，正是元宇宙医学发挥潜力的关键领域［3］。本研究［1］肯定了元宇宙疗法在“降本增效”方面的积极作用。 “降本”即降低时间成本，元宇宙疗法能收集患者大量的临床数据，医生可远程监控治疗与病情的进展，有利于提升医疗效率；降低资源成本，远程护理可提高医疗保健的可持续性，减少环境污染，并为需要非虚拟护理的患者留出空间，可能会比传统的实体机构更能有效利用医疗资源。“增效”则体现在元宇宙疗法显著降低 NS-LBP 患者和 NPD 患者的各项指标，且未出现不良反应。远程医疗通过元宇宙拉近患者与医院的物理距离，这有力体现了“元医惠众生”的理念。

In this article, we examine the impact of informal arrangements between a non-state actor, the Northern Rangeland Trust (NRT) —a Non-Government Organization (NGO), pastoral communities and the state actors, We focus on a comparative analysis of Samburu and Isiolo counties in Northern Kenya because these cases demonstrate a different effect of NRT on NRM. The article benefits from interviews collected from Samburu and Isiolo counties, and key informants in the two counties, NRT offices, government representatives and civil societies between 2018 to 2021, with a follow-up in October 2022 to March 2023, and January October 2023 to March 2024. The interviews are then triangulated with the vast conservation literature and government documents. We show how the partnership between NRT, pastoral communities, and national/local governments impacts NRM in Northern Kenya through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) initiative. Our analysis affirms that PPP initiatives between NRT and the government are secretive and can only be witnessed from their effects. We further show that privatization and legitimization of the use of excessive force control and influence, —organized violence is applied in the conservation agenda, exacerbating conflict/violence.

Authors: Rundika Pratiwi Endah , Tri Ananda Sabilla
Published: December 2024

The phenomenon of Indonesians doing online shopping activities in the marketplace has continued to increase in recent years, but it has not been directly proportional to consumer satisfaction. Consumers are disappointed that orders do not arrive on time. The study aims to determine consumer behavior when making purchasing decisions on Shopee's On-Time Guarantee. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach, namely interviews and Focus Group Discussions. The research findings explain that the On-Time Guarantee is closely related to the formation of consumer behavior in making purchasing decisions, such as recognizing problems, searching for information, evaluating alternatives, purchasing decisions and evaluating post-purchase behavior. Informants gather information from social media, Google, and brand ambassadors on television. In evaluating alternatives, informants compare Shopee's service quality with competitors and the efficiency of order delivery time. Positive feedback from friends, promotions, delivery speed, and ease of handling influence purchase decision-making. Innovative technologies such as real-time delivery and automatic notifications on the app affect consumer satisfaction. The conclusion is that informants will make repeat purchase decisions in the future and recommend Shopee to their social environment, which can increase Shopee's customer base. Informants' satisfaction with Shopee's 'On-Time Guarantee' has a positive impact on consumer loyalty.

Published: December 2024

The worksite health promotion program addresses empirical research to bring decreased healthcare cost of the organization and improve overall flexibility of employees in following a healthy lifestyle. Thus, the interventions have to be planned and marketed in such a way that the detrimental impact generated because of an unfit labor force can be avoided. This study seeks to find out to what extent program coordinators will consider the social marketing promotional strategies in organizations in Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom. The data is collected from the 60 program controllers using the structured study. These findings thus showed that at least one of the four social media marketing techniques used (publicity, sales promotion, public relations, and advertising) was used by these program coordinators. Further, it is found that most of those coordinators of the program were not given training with social media marketing promotional strategies. However, usage of promotional strategy in the two different types of business has no noticeable gap. The result has though therefore suggested that facilitated training program to the program coordinators is necessary so that meaningful results can be achieved.

Authors: Azzahra Keyzha , Aulia Rahma Nurul
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the study was to analyze the influence e-wallet has on student consumptive behaviour. This research was conducted at X University in Bandung with 99 respondents from various study programs. The method used is descriptive quantitative, with data collected through questionnaires using G-form media distributed to active students who have used or often use e-wallets. Analyzed the data with a simple regression method to determine the level of influence using software SPSS and Smart PLS. The results revealed that the use of e-wallets with elements related to self-efficacy, trust, benefits, and ease of use has a significant positive impact of 82.2% on consumptive behaviour.  However, there are other factors outside of this research model that affect 17.8%, assuming that peer pressure, lifestyle, and social environment are additional indications that affect consumptive behaviour. These findings not only help students become wiser in using e-wallets and avoid excessive consumption patterns, but also encourage universities to organize financial literacy programs. In addition, these findings also provide insight for e-wallet service providers to design more responsible promotions and support the use of e-wallets for important needs such as education and investment.

Authors: Komolafe Joseph Oluwaseun , Obiekwe Josephine Ngozi , Okechukwu Jennifer Chidera
Published: December 2024

As against conventional fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis), certified organic fluted pumpkin is safer, but the production and consumption are low. Awareness of heath benefit would likely spur the demand and stimulate production. Thus, this study examined the willingness to pay (WTP) for organically produced fluted pumpkin among the staff of Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Anambra State, Nigeria. Two-stage sampling procedure was used to collect data for this study. Four faculties with the largest staff population were purposively selected out of 14 faculties in the university, then, workers were selected proportionate to the population size of each faculty, resulting in a total sample size of 100. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on consumers characteristics, awareness, willingness to pay and factors determining consumers WTP. Descriptive statistics and logit regression analysis were used to analyze the data. This study revealed that more than 70% of the respondents were aware of organic vegetables and about 67% of the respondents agreed that organically fluted pumpkin is healthier than conventionally one. On the average, up to 43.22 % of the respondents are willing to pay a premium for organically produced fluted pumpkin above (N200) the average cost of 200grammes of conventional fluted pumpkin. At 5% significance level of education (β=0. 81), and chemical consciousness (β=0.035) had positive influence on the willingness to pay while premium amount to be paid (β=-1. 1x 1005) and sex (β=-1.38), had negative influence. The study concluded that there was a potential market for organically produced fluted pumpkin among the university staff and recommended its prompt production.
Remark on Falaco Soliton as a Tunneling Mechanism in a Navier-Stokes Universe
Authors: Christianto Victor , Smarandache Florentin
Published: December 2024

This paper is a follow up to our previous article [1] suggesting that it is possible to find tunneling time solutions for Schrodinger equation considering quasicrystalline as interstellar matter, by virtue of quasicrystalline potential. The paper also discusses the mapping of these equations to Riccati equations, a class of nonlinear differential equations. This mapping can provide insights into the behavior of the Navier-Stokes equations and may lead to new methods for solving them. The Navier-Stokes equations, a set of nonlinear partial differential equations, are fundamental in fluid mechanics. They describe the motion of viscous fluids. In three dimensions, these equations are particularly complex and often leading to turbulence. The paper also discusses shortly on Falaco soliton as a tunneling mechanism in a Navier-Stokes Universe, which is quite able to fill the gap of realistic mechanism of quantum tunneling which is missing in standard Wave Mechanics. Further investigations are advised.

Published: December 2024

La importancia crucial de la precisión y la exactitud en los procedimientos quirúrgicos, resaltando cómo la cirugía robótica ha revolucionado esta área. La cirugía robótica ha revolucionado los procedimientos quirúrgicos al ofrecer una precisión milimétrica que minimiza los riesgos y optimiza los resultados clínicos. A diferencia de los métodos tradicionales, como la cirugía abierta o laparoscópica, la tecnología robótica permite movimientos extremadamente precisos, lo que es crucial en intervenciones complejas como la prostatectomía radical y la resección de tumores en áreas delicadas. La visualización tridimensional y el control excepcional proporcionado por los sistemas robóticos mejoran la exactitud durante la cirugía, lo que reduce las complicaciones postoperatorias y favorece una recuperación más rápida para los pacientes. Sin embargo, el éxito de la cirugía robótica no depende únicamente de la tecnología, sino también de la preparación adecuada del paciente, donde el laboratorio clínico juega un papel esencial. Los análisis preoperatorios, tales como los estudios de coagulación y los marcadores bioquímicos son fundamentales para evaluar el estado metabólico y hemostático del paciente. Estos análisis permiten anticipar riesgos y ajustar la planificación quirúrgica, garantizando condiciones óptimas durante el procedimiento. Además, pruebas específicas, como las pruebas cruzadas de sangre y los marcadores inflamatorios, son esenciales en procedimientos de alto riesgo, asegurando una intervención quirúrgica segura. En este sentido, el laboratorio clínico se consolida como un aliado clave en la medicina de precisión, contribuyendo significativamente a la reducción de complicaciones y mejorando los resultados quirúrgicos.

Published: December 2024

This research work addresses the problems related to anxiety, depression and the high juvenile suicide risk in the province of Tungurahua. To solve this problem, we propose: automatic processes of evaluation of the level of anxiety and juvenile depression, as an innovative method of evaluation has been developed software that through facial recognition of emotions and with the support of a mathematical model can predict the level of affectation in terms of youth mental health. The proposed method is innovative, non-invasive and could be complemented with the web automation of a validated questionnaire for this purpose. In the experimental field we have worked with a private school in the city of Ambato. About 30 adolescents between 13 and 18 years of age have participated, the results show that 57% have no signs of affectation, 22% of mild affectation, 14% of medium affectation and 7% of high affectation. These results were contrasted with an electronic evaluation based on Hamilton's questionnaire, but it could be seen that there is an error of approximately 20% between the results. This leads to the conclusion that: the process of facial recognition of emotions should be improved as well as the optimization of the mathematical model proposed.

Published: December 2024

As the spectral data of the space image increases, the amount of information derived by processing per unit terrestrial area is amplified. A hyperspectral image is capable of mapping the classified features in accordance with defined objectives, and of providing a description of each objective in quantitative terms. A model for mapping gypsum quantity using spectral libraries and the SAM technique on a hyperspectral image was implemented. The distribution of gypsum was mapped for areas exceeding 50% (per unit area), covering 1188 ha, and exceeding 70% (per unit area), covering 932 ha, and exceeding 85% (per unit area), covering 395 ha, along the study area of Jayroud, Damascus countryside. The model performance with respect to static indicators was as follows: the accuracy assessment value was -11.5, the root mean square error (RMSE) was 10.25, and the coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.94 for gypsum estimation in comparison with field observations. Maps of gypsum quantification and distribution are instrumental in the optimal investment planning and effective sustainable management of this resource.
Code-Switching in Online Gaming: Sociolinguistic and Linguistic Patterns Among Jordanian PUBG Players
Authors: Alnadi Rania
Published: December 2024

This study investigates code-switching (CS) between Jordanian Arabic (JA) and English in the conversations of young Jordanian gamers playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG). The research explores the types of CS present in gaming discourse, specifically alternational, insertion, and congruent lexicalization, and examines the sociolinguistic motivations underlying these practices. The analysis reveals that while Jordanian Arabic dominates the conversations, English is predominantly inserted in the form of individual words or short phrases, particularly in relation to gaming-specific vocabulary. Insertion CS is the most common type, reflecting bilingual asymmetry, with English used for technical terms and gaming jargon. Alternational CS, involving switches at the clause or sentence level, occurs less frequently but is used to emphasize points or address globally recognized gaming concepts. Additionally, congruent lexicalization shows how English terms are integrated into the Arabic syntactic structure. The findings suggest that the players' code-switching behavior reflects both their cultural identity and alignment with the global gaming community. The use of English not only facilitates communication within the international gaming environment but also signals affiliation with a transnational digital culture. The study highlights the role of English proficiency, influenced by age and exposure to English media, in shaping bilingual communication strategies. This research contributes to the understanding of code-switching in online gaming and offers implications for language learning, particularly through gaming platforms, which can serve as informal learning environments for English proficiency.

Published: December 2024

Α recent experimental study on rats has shown that the neurotoxicity of cadmium (Cd) could be associated with the levels of thyroid hormones. We, herein, discuss these findings and focus on the effects of the exposure to Cd on a widely-employed neurotoxicity marker: the activity of brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Moreover, we assess the novelty of the association between Cd-induced neurotoxicity and the levels of thyroid hormones, reflect on the poor understanding of the nature and the mechanisms defining the interplay between Cd and thyroid function, and highlight the complexity of achieving reliable and comparable experimental assessments of Cd-induced neurotoxicity through the employment of AChE activity as a marker. Finally, we express the opinion that the systematic co-assessment of the levels of thyroid hormones as well as their pharmacological manipulation could prove to be very useful in the elucidation of the mechanisms underlying Cd-induced neurotoxicity.
Legal and ethical aspects of caring for dependent parents

Cel. Artykuł jest poświęcony analizie regulacji prawnych oraz zobowiązań etycznych dotyczących opieki nad niesamodzielnym rodzicem potrzebującym wsparcia lub pomocy w codziennej egzystencji. Mimo że zapewnienie opieki potrzebującym członkom najbliższej
rodziny powinno być oczywistą reakcją każdej osoby, realizowaną w sposób nieformalny, znajduje ono także odzwierciedlenie w przepisach prawa. Kluczowa w tym zakresie jest regulacja art. 87 Kodeksu rodzinnego i opiekuńczego, zgodnie z którą „Rodzice i dzieci są obowiązani do wzajemnego szacunku i wspierania się”. Zobowiązanie to rozpatrywać można także z perspektywy wartości, niemniej jednak nawet wtedy etyczny charakter opieki pozostaje obarczony rozlicznymi dylematami. Celem artykułu jest pobudzenie świadomości społecznej przez zwrócenie uwagi zarówno na niejednoznaczności moralne związane z opieką, jak i na regulacje prawne w zakresie wspierania niesamodzielnych rodziców. Oba aspekty poparto stosownym odniesieniem do aktualnej sytuacji społecznej, w której problematyka starości, niesamodzielności czy opieki będą coraz częściej stanowiły element rozlicznych dyskusji czy prób szukania konkretnych rozwiązań. Metody i materiały. Analiza krytyczna danych i materiału bibliograficznego, oryginalny, twórczy, problemowy przegląd tematu. Wyniki i wnioski. Dzieci jako najbliżsi zstępni mają obowiązek zapewnienia pomocy rodzicom nie tylko w związku z chorobą lub niepełnosprawnością, lecz także w każdym
przypadku, gdy jej potrzebują w codziennej egzystencji. Orzekanie o etycznych zobowiązaniach nie jest zaś tak precyzyjne, ponieważ jesteśmy i będziemy postawieni wobec konieczności podejmowania decyzji o dużym stopniu problematyczności moralnej, której nieostrość generuje więcej pytań niż pozornie łatwych odpowiedzi.
“Nodes” in the Intercultural Network of Cultural Borderlands

Wprowadzenie. Spojrzenie na pogranicze kulturowe przez pryzmat specyficznego dla niego środowiska społecznego ujawnia zróżnicowanie kulturowe nieustannie produkowane i reprodukowane w wyniku zachodzących na nim interakcji społecznych. W efekcie pogranicze staje się międzywęzłowym obszarem przemieszczania i deterytorializacji, wieloskalarnym miejscem bliskości, komunikacji, identyfikacji, transformacji oraz uniwersalizacji. Właściwa mu wielostronna styczność generuje polifonię zjawisk o wielokształtnej postaci,
które w różnych konfiguracjach wysycają realność pogranicza kulturowego, czynią z niego swoistą organizację społeczną i nadają mu strukturę sieci mocowanej węzłami symptomatycznymi dla niej. Tego rodzaju sieć ma charakter otwarty i podlega nieustannym modyfikacjom na skutek funkcji, jakie pełnią w niej te węzły, a mianowicie: agregacyjnej, strukturyzującej, ekskluzyjnej oraz augumentacyjnej. Towarzyszą temu procesy odróżnorodniania i uwspólniania, tworzące swoisty układ kulturowy ogniskujący się w międzykulturowości. Cel. Celem opracowania jest zidentyfikowanie węzłów w międzykulturowej sieci pogranicza kulturowego, aby wskazać na integracyjną rolę międzykulturowości w procesie tworzenia wspólnoty w społeczeństwie zróżnicowanym kulturowo. Metody i materiały. Przegląd i krytyczna analiza literatury przedmiotu dokonana w perspektywie konstrukcjonistycznej. Wyniki. W wyniku przeprowadzonych analiz wyszczególniono następujące węzły w międzykulturowej sieci pogranicza kulturowego: komunikacyjno-interakcyjny, lokalno-swojski, wspólnotowy, narodowo-ojczyźniany oraz obywatelsko-patriotyczny. W swej istocie ujawniają one znaczące sfery pośród różnorodności kulturowej, w odniesieniu do których
dokonują się procesy (auto)identyfikacji mieszkańców pogranicza, konstruowane są ich tożsamości oraz budowana jest międzykulturowa wspólnota.
Early signs of autism in young children in interaction with their parents
Authors: Winczura Barbara Ewa
Published: December 2024

Cel. Symptomy zaburzeń ze spektrum autyzmu widoczne w zachowaniu rozwijają się w czasie i zmieniają swój obraz kliniczny wraz z rozwojem dziecka. Za główne wczesne objawy tych zaburzeń uznaje się deficyty w społecznym komunikowaniu się oraz w interakcjach
społecznych. We wczesnym rozwoju dziecka największy niepokój wśród rodziców/bliskich opiekunów tych dzieci budzą zaburzenia w rozwoju społecznym, emocjonalnym, trudności w komunikowaniu się oraz nietypowy sposób bawienia się. Zakłócenia w rozwoju społecznym ujawniają się najwcześniej, są obserwowalne w rozwoju indywidualnym dziecka i uznaje się je za pierwotne objawy autyzmu. Rodzice/bliscy opiekunowie stają się zwykle pierwszymi obserwatorami niepokojących zachowań dziecka, ale są też pierwszymi inicjatorami budowania bliskich relacji ze swoim potomstwem. Informacje uzyskiwane od rodziców są istotnymi wskaźnikami dla wczesnego wykrywania zaburzeń ze spektrum autyzmu. Istotą podjętej problematyki wczesnego wykrywania zaburzeń ze spektrum autyzmu u małych dzieci z grupy ryzyka i z autyzmem jest ukazanie roli rodziców/bliskich opiekunów jako pierwszych obserwatorów niepokojących zachowań swoich dzieci. Szczególnej
analizie zostały poddane pierwsze symptomy ryzyka autyzmu w rozwoju emocjonalnym, społecznym, zabawie i komunikacji u małych dzieci w interakcji z rodzicami. Metody i materiały. Artykuł ma charakter przeglądowy. Przedstawia podejście teoretyczne oparte na analizie materiałów źródłowych z polskich i zagranicznych publikacji. Wyniki i wnioski. Zaburzenia w sferze emocjonalnej, społecznej i komunikacji mają centralne znaczenie dla obrazu klinicznego zaburzeń ze spektrum autyzmu, przy czym manifestacja symptomów zmienia się wraz z wiekiem i rozwojem dziecka. Przyjmuje się, że opóźnienia w zakresie umiejętności społecznych, rozwoju mowy i komunikacji u małych dzieci z grupy ryzyka są silnymi predyktorami otrzymania diagnozy autyzmu. Niepokojące spostrzeżenia rodziców dotyczące rozwoju i zachowania dziecka przyspieszają wykrywanie tych zaburzeń oraz przyczyniają się do postawienia trafnej diagnozy.

Published: December 2024

Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices are essential for delivering production inputs, information, germplasm, finance, markets and other resources observed by smallholder farmers. This study aimed to utilize CSA practices to address agricultural production obstacles and enhance food security in Nyamira County. The overall objective was to determine the influence of climate-smart agriculture practices on food security among small-scale farmers in Nyamira County, Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design, with a sample size of 384 households selected through a multistage sampling approach. Data collection methods included questionnaires, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), observation checklists, and structured interview schedules. Secondary data was gathered from various sources such as the internet, journals, publications, and document analyses. Quantitative data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists version 25, while qualitative data was summarized through narrative analysis. The findings revealed that mixed cropping at 20.50% (230), crop rotation at 15.15% (170), organic farming at 10.52% (118), and cover cropping at 7.93% (89) all had a significant influence on the food security of the small-scale farmers (p<0.05). Conversely, agroforestry at 14.53% (163), drought-resistant crops at 7.49% (84), water harvesting at 13.10% (147), and integrated soil fertility management at 7.31% (82) did not exhibit a significant influence (p-value > 0.05). The logistic regression model showed a statistically significant χ2 = 20.267, p < 0.05, between CSA practices and food security. The study recommends that the Nyamira County agriculture department, in conjunction with the national government and non-governmental organizations, promote the upscaling of mixed cropping, crop rotation, organic farming, and cover cropping among smallholder farmers as key CSA practices to enhance household food security in the area.

Gender transformational interventions in different sectors has potential to increase women's rights and foster inclusive growth. Based on this and considering that women's participation in coffee cooperatives in Kenya has historically remained low, it is necessary that any intervention in the sector is assessed to ascertain its transformational potential for the sub-sector. This study examined gender-based barriers and transformation potential to women participation in coffee cooperatives in Kiambu County. It's guided by Gender and Development theory and adopted descriptive design. A sample of 398 participants was selected using simple random and purposive sampling methods. Data collection involved questionnaires for cooperative members and in-depth interviews with managers, chairpersons and cooperative officers. Quantitative data was analyzed descriptively and qualitative data through thematic analysis. The findings revealed key barriers such as lack of recognition of women's contributions, limited access to training, land and financial resources. The Coffee bill, 2023 was found to have the lowest potential for gender transformation, indicating limited capacity to foster inclusivity. The study recommended revisions to the Coffee bill, 2023 to better promote gender-inclusive practices in the coffee sector.
