Peptic ulcer disease is one of the most common chronic infections in human population. Regardless of centuries of research, it still worries a lot of individuals, especially in the third world countries. Expressive investigation on the pervasiveness and impact of peptic ulcer was carried out among two hundred (200) undergraduate students in Federal University Wukari and Kwararafa University Wukari, Taraba State, North East, Nigeria with the use of well-designed and detailed questionnaires. These studies showed that majority of the students were between the ages of 21-25 years (108) representing (54%) and ages between 31 – 35 years has the lowest 8(4%). One hundred and three (103) of the 200 students reported to have ulcer (51.5%) whereas 97 (48.5%) of the total students reported no ulcer. Preponderance of the students have duodenal ulcer 67 (65%) whereas 36 (35%) has gastric ulcer and this gives ratio of approximately 2:1 respectively. The students reported the use of antacids 40 (39%), antibiotics 30 (29%), proton pump inhibitors (PPI) 8(9%), herbal medicine 18 (18%) and histamine 7 (7%) in the treatment of peptic ulcer, some students however, reported the used of mixed treatment. Conclusively, this study shed light on the prevalence of peptic ulcer (gastric and duodenal). Eliminating or reducing the drinking of alcohols if possible and helping the ulcer to heal with medication. Medications for treatment of ulcer include antibiotic medications to kill H. pylori. Also lessening of acid producing foods and drinks should be shunned. Avoiding tobacco products,caution with aspirin, non- ignoring ulcer symptoms, protect one from infections by washing hands regularly and consuming foods that have been cooked thoroughly are sure ways of preventing peptic ulcer.

Published: November 2023

Background: Vitamin A (VA) is an essential micronutrient critical to human health, infants rely on their mother’s breast milk for sufficient supply. This makes the maternal diet a crucial source of VA for infant growth and development. Aims: This study aimed to assess maternal VA status by assessing serum and breast milk retinol concentrations as well as dietary intake in nursing mothers. Subjects and Methods: A clinic-based cross-sectional study, conducted in Awka, south-east Nigeria, was used to assess 127 lactating women at one to 24 months post-partum. Blood and breast milk samples were obtained from each participant in a fasted state while dietary intake was assessed via an interviewer-administered semi-structured food frequency questionnaire. Retinol concentration was analyzed by spectrophotometry. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data while Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to determine associations between breast milk and serum retinol concentrations and study variables. Results: The mean retinol concentration in the serum of the women was a borderline value of 0.75 ± 0.64 µmol/L while the mean retinol concentration in breast milk was 0.99 ± 0.71 µmol/L. Further, the mean milk fat content was 56.18 ± 32.32 g/L while the mean milk retinol to fat ratio was 0.027 ± 0.044 µmol/g. Maternal diet consisted of a preference for provitamin A foods with low bioavailability. The mean retinol concentration in breast milk increased with time post-partum. There was no statistically significant relationship found between the frequency of consumption of most foods and the concentration of retinol in breast milk. Conclusion: The evidence of VA deficiency highlights the need for screening and nutrition education of breastfeeding mothers during ante- and post-natal visits.

Published: November 2023

Households residing in informal settlements are often hampered by urban-induced vulnerabilities. Despite more than fifty per cent of urban residents in Kisumu County residing in informal settlements, it is unclear to what extent urban-induced vulnerabilities affect their livelihoods. To address this problem, the study examined the types of urban vulnerabilities in Kisumu County Informal Settlements. The data was collected from a sample of 396 households using structured questionnaires, key informant interviews and document reviews. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square,  while the qualitative data was subjected to verbatim and thematic analysis.  The data revealed that there were various types of urban-induced vulnerabilities which affected access to education including social economic and environmental vulnerabilities. The study recommended that adequate resources should be allocated to reduce environmental vulnerabilities in schools; measures to increase households’ adaptive capacities to urban-induced vulnerabilities among the residents in the informal settlements in Kisumu County should be prioritized.

Published: November 2023

Os medicamentos são produtos que exigem cuidados especiais desde a sua fabricação até a sua dispensação para o consumidor final. Esses cuidados especiais incluem o armazenamento adequado a fim de evitar danos que afetem a integridade do fármaco causando sérias consequências à saúde de quem o utiliza. Este trabalho tem como objetivo geral relatar como é feita o armazenamento de medicamentos e a importância de manter os medicamentos na temperatura ideal e suas consequências quando não respeitada as temperaturas. A metodologia utilizada foi de revisão de literatura com base nos anos de 2020 à 2023. Cheguei a conclusão que o armazenamento adequado e a preservação de medicamentos são fatores fundamentais para sua eficácia. A vasta oferta de medicamentos, a falta da atenção farmacêutica referente ao modo de armazenamento dos mesmos e a má conservação podem afetar as características do fármaco.
UMA ANÁLISE ACERCA DA GARANTIA JURÍDICA DOS ANIMAIS À LUZ DO DIREITO DE EXISTIR
Authors: Souza Rebeca Valéria Nogueira de
Published: November 2023

Este trabalho visa explorar o direito dos animais como um novo e fundamental ramo do direito. Assim, tem como objetivo analisar acerca da garantia jurídica dos animais à luz do direito de existir. Proteger não apenas o meio ambiente, mas também seus direitos fundamentais como a vida e o respeito, coibindo atos de violência, crueldade e maus-tratos. As práticas cruéis contra animais, embora proibidas constitucionalmente, continuam a existir e nenhum dado estatístico demonstra que seus números decresceram desde a promulgação da Constituição Federal, em 1988. Pelo contrário, intui-se que a violência e a opressão contra animais somente cresceram nos anos. Os animais constituem a população mais vulnerável à violência institucionalizada. Para isto utilizou-se como metodologia a pesquisa bibliográfica, e análise das leis, doutrinas e jurisprudência aplicada ao tema, abordando os resultados obtidos com a pesquisa de maneira qualitativa. Com isto concluiu-se que  há necessidade do aprimoramento das leis que protegem os animais bem como as sanções para tais atos mais compatíveis com sua gravidade, pois por mais que haja leis e normas que os protejam, estes seres ainda estão à mercê do egoísmo e da maldade humana, sem terem recurso para se defender e requerer uma vida com mais respeito e dignidade.
AS MEDIDAS PROTETIVAS NO CONTEXTO DA LEI MARIA DA PENHA: ANÁLISE DOS MECANISMOS DE PROTEÇÃO ÀS MULHERES VÍTIMAS DE VIOLÊNCIA

Published: November 2023

O presente artigo científico tem como principal questionamento verificar “quais os motivos e fatores que não favorecem de fato na diminuição dos crimes contra as mulheres nos últimos anos, mesmo com a implementação da Lei Maria da Penha no Brasil?” Além disso, busca- se verificar quais possam ser os motivos influenciadores das ações delituosas e, consequentemente, a não minimização deste tipo de crime que afeta a sociedade. Assim, será possível adentrar na interdisciplinaridade existente e que corrobora nas dificuldades enfrentadas tanto pelos órgãos públicos, judiciais, segurança pública, quanto pelos setores de saúde e de assistência social, os quais estão em constante busca na garantia de meios que possam ser favoráveis no resguardo da integridade das vítimas de crimes de violência doméstica e familiar. Por conseguinte, verifica-se que mesmo com o advento da Lei Maria da Penha, não houve a diminuição que se esperava dos crimes contra a mulher e, em decorrência disso, tal justificativa da continuidade da violência existente se dá pela persistência de fatores variados, dentre eles, os culturais, estruturais e institucionais. É importante evidenciar os fatos que levam à reincidência dos autores, e que estão atrelados a várias situações e causas, como por exemplo, possível dependência financeira da mulher em relação ao agressor, históricos de violências no ambiente em que o agressor cresceu e convive, além de problemas relacionados à saúde mental, dependência e envolvimento ao tráfico de drogas e outros crimes e, principalmente, à impunidade.

Published: November 2023

O ensaio acadêmico proposto aborda o Método Dialético de Hegel como uma ferramenta essencial para o pensamento filosófico, destacando sua origem, evolução ao longo da história e influência na compreensão da realidade. Este ensaio explora a filosofia dialética, destacando sua importância na compreensão da formação e desenvolvimento de fenômenos. O texto inicia com uma introdução que contextualiza a dialética na antiguidade, onde o mundo sensível é concebido como um movimento eterno e harmonioso de opostos. O desenvolvimento teórico aborda o método dialético de Hegel, evidenciando sua influência em diversas disciplinas. O materialismo dialético, proposto por Marx e Engels, é discutido em relação à busca pela verdade por meio de tese, antítese e síntese. A dialética nos diálogos de Sócrates e Platão é abordada como um conjunto de regras aplicadas para compreender o mundo interdependente. As filosofias políticas de Hegel, sua visão da ideia absoluta e o método dialético como instrumento de constante questionamento são analisados. O pensamento dialético é apresentado como uma abordagem universal em todas as disciplinas, permitindo a compreensão de conceitos através da análise de opostos. As considerações finais destacam a complexidade da dialética, enfatizando seus três conceitos metafísicos fundamentais e a visão de Hegel sobre a certeza sensível fenomenológica. O ensaio culmina ressaltando a dialética como uma ferramenta indispensável na compreensão da dinâmica intrínseca aos processos filosóficos e ao desenvolvimento humano.

Abstract. Despite covering only 3 % of the planet’s land surface, peatlands store 30 % of the planet’s terrestrial carbon. The net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from peatlands depend on many factors but primarily soil temperature, vegetation composition, water level and drainage, and land management. However, many peatland models rely on water levels to estimate CH4 exchange, neglecting to consider the role of CH4 transported to the atmosphere by vegetation. To assess the impact of vegetation on the GHG fluxes of peatlands, we have developed a new model, Peatland-VU-NUCOM (PVN). The PVN model is a site-specific peatland CH4 and CO2 emissions model, able to reproduce vegetation dynamics. To represent dynamic vegetation, we have introduced plant functional types and competition, adapted from the NUCOM-BOG model, into the framework of the Peatland-VU model, a peatland GHG emissions model. The new PVN model includes plant competition, CH4 diffusion, ebullition, root, shoot, litter, exudate production, belowground decomposition, and aboveground moss development under changing water levels and climatic conditions. Here, we present the PVN model structure and explore the model's sensitivity to environmental input data and the introduction of the new vegetation competition schemes. We evaluate the model against observed chamber data collected at two peatland sites in the Netherlands to show that the model is able to reproduce realistic plant biomass fractions and daily CH4 and CO2 fluxes. We find that daily air temperature, water level, harvest frequency and height, and vegetation composition drive CH4 and CO2 emissions. We find that this process-based model is suitable to be used to simulate peatland vegetation dynamics and CH4 and CO2 emissions.

Published: November 2023

In the current era of globalized business environments, the effective management of human resources (HRM) plays a critical role in attracting and retaining skilled employees as companies expand into international markets. This study aims to tackle the challenges encountered in the HR recruitment process by designing and developing an intelligent decision support system based on the Mamdani fuzzy inference system. The proposed system harnesses the capabilities of fuzzy logic and advanced analytics to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and efficacy of candidate selection. By automating tasks, the system streamlines the recruitment process and enhances candidate-job matching through the utilization of linguistic variables such as Technical Skillset, Experience, Certifications, Qualification, and Projects completed. The Mamdani fuzzy inference system facilitates adaptable decision-making based on imprecise or uncertain inputs, capturing expert knowledge and domain-specific heuristics. This approach optimizes the candidate ranking process, contributing to the successful acquisition of talented individuals and fostering organizational growth. By adopting this technology-driven HRM approach, organizations can surmount the limitations of manual methods, elevate their recruitment processes, and make more well-informed hiring decisions. The proposed Mamdani fuzzy inference system presents a robust and efficient solution that capitalizes on the potential of information technology to augment human resource management practices and gain a competitive edge in talent acquisition.

Кинематическая схема с двумя степенями свободы и одним входом может обнаруживать движение только при наличии дифференциального ограничения, учитывающего скорости. Такая схема представляет собой механизм с новым свойством силовой адаптации. В статье представлен исследование воходных параметров самонастраивающихся адаптивных механизмов и изложен принцип определимости движения.  Рассмотрено использование самонастраивающихся адаптивных механизмов при схвате робота манипулятора. В настоящее время ведутся научные исследования адаптивных вариаторов, обеспечивающих саморегуляцию к внешней нагрузке [5–12]. Адаптивный зубчатый механизм обеспечивает передачу движения от двигателя постоянной мощности на рабочий орган со скоростью, обратно пропорциональной нагрузке. Механизм адаптации имеет свойство механической адаптации. Механическая адаптация – это способность механизма самостоятельно приспосабливаться к переменной технологической нагрузке путем изменения скорости без какой-либо системы управления. Саморегулирующаяся передаточный механизм – это механизм, обеспечивающий непрерывное независимое изменение передаточного числа за счет сопротивления движению при постоянной подводимой мощности. В большинстве машин регулирование скорости осуществляется с помощью механизма трансмиссии с переменным передаточным числом. Механизм с одной степенью свободы не способен сам по себе без системы управления изменять передаточное число. Запатентованные саморегулирующиеся механические системы с двумя движениями не нашли практического применения из-за отсутствия обнаружения движения. Принцип теоретически возможных перемещений обеспечивает статическое определение кинематической цепи с двумя степенями свободы. Но на практике под нагрузкой выходной вал останавливается, а кинематическая цепь переходит в состояние единичного движения. В данной статье анализируется обнаружение движения кинематической цепи с двумя степенями свободы и разрабатываются принципы эффективного построения статически детерминированных саморегулирующихся механизмов.

Działalność duszpasterska biskupa kieleckiego Augustyna Łosinskiego (1910-1937)
Authors: Fert Stanisław
Published: November 2023

Biskup Augustyn Łosiński uchodził w swoim czasie za jednego z wybitniejszych przedstawicieli episkopatu polskiego. Ze względu na nieugiętość i hart ducha porównywano go do św. Augustyna. Doceniano ze względu na bardzo szeroki zakres działalności pasterskiej i umiejętności dostosowania formy działalności duszpasterskiej do aktualnych potrzeb. Zapoznanie się z niezwykle interesującą i bogatą dokumentacją dotyczącą działalności Biskupa pozwala wyrazić pogląd, że te oceny są uzasadnione. Analiza świadectw prowadzi do przekonania, że biskup Łosiński położył trwałe fundamenty strukturalne pod organizację duszpasterstwa w diecezji kieleckiej, a niespożytą energią i zapałem rozbudzał ruch zmierzający do odrodzenia religijnego i społecznego. W ocenie autora był człowiekiem wielkiego formatu i wielkich dokonań.
Kaplice wsi Kacwin na polskim Spiszu. Formy artystyczne i kręgi kultowe
Authors: Trajdos Tadeusz M.
Published: November 2023

Przedmiotem niniejszej pracy są kaplice w obrębie spiskiej parafii Kacwin, traktowane przez autora zarówno jako obiekty sztuki, jak i istotne komponenty życia religijnego wspólnoty wiejskiej. Praca obejmuje więc dwa zagadnienia: formę i funkcję społeczną. Porządek omawiania tych zagadnień narzuca sam materiał — kaplice kacwińskie pochodzą z trzech różnych epok: trzy najstarsze z II poł. XVIII w., jedna z poł. w. XIX i dwie z lat międzywojennych. Wykaz ich wezwań w porządku chronologicznym: Matki Boskiej Śnieżnej, św. Trójcy, św. Katarzyny (uprzednio św. Krzyża — cmentarna), św. Wojciecha, Matki Boskiej z Lourdes, Chrystusa Króla. Wspólnota kacwińska posiada własną hierarchię kultów różniącą się od wezwań kaplic. Na jej szczycie mieszczą się: Adoracja Trójcy św. i wielowątkowa tematyka Maryjna.
The effect of locus of control, uncertainty avoidance on online purchase intention with cognitive trust as a mediator
Authors:   ESCA Ecole de Management, Kohail Younes
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of internal locus of control (ILC), external locus of control (ELC), and uncertainty avoidance (UA) on online purchase intention through the mediating role of cognitive trust (CT). The research adopted the quantitative approach using structural equation modeling based on a sample of 184 participants. The results showed a negative relationship between ELC and CT and a positive relationship between UA and CT. In addition, CT does not mediate the relationship between ILC, ELC, UA and OPI. The findings of this paper contribute to the current literature by integrating and incorporating cognitive trust as a latent variable in the suggested model. This provides an important contribution to the body of the literature by filling the existing gap and explaining the role of cognitive trust in mediating the relationship between internal locus control, external locus control, uncertainty avoidance and online purchase intention in the B2B industrial sector. The findings of this study provide online marketing managers with a deep understanding of the online purchase intention of their customers

Wheat crop is the main source of food and is cultivated on the largest area of land, while Punjab and Sindh province are the major contributors. It donates 9.7 percent to agriculture and 1.7 percent to GDP. The objectives of the study are to analyze the impact of procurement policy on the farming community who have been beneficiaries of the policy, and it means observing whether the procurement policy is getting sufficient support to the farmers' community or not. Primary data were collected through a multistage random sampling technique; in the first stage district was selected; in the second stage, taluka was selected; while in the third stage, two union councils (UC) were randomly selected; and in the final stage six villages were randomly selected, and the sample size was 10 respondents from each village. The total sample size was 120. At the same time, Respondents were distributed in two categories: i. beneficiaries of Procurement policy and ii. None beneficiaries of procurement policy. Results show that the cost of production for V-2 and V-3 among Procurement center (PC Growers) and Open Market (OM Growers) growers was almost the same, whereas for variety 1 (V-1), OM growers cost was higher (Rs.56227) than PC growers (Rs.52712). In comparison, the yield for all varieties grown by PC and OM farmers was almost the same, where the PC growers Rs.1400 for wheat grain for all varieties, the OM grower received Rs.1318, Rs.1311, and Rs.1318 for Variety 1(V-1), Variety 2(V-2), and variety 3 (V-3) respectively. The benefit-cost ratio of PC growers for V-1, V-2 and V-3 were Rs.0.54, Rs.0.27 and Rs.0.20, respectively, and the benefit-cost ratio of OM growers for V-1, V-2 and V-3 were Rs.0.40, Rs.0.20 and Rs.0.19, respectively. The procurement center may increase the number of centers, and the quantity of gunny bags should be increased. Before harvesting wheat crop procurements, the center should be announced for purchasing.

Published: November 2023

This paper focused on the use of three probability distributions to justify the central limit theorem (CLT). The aim was to use the moment generating function (MGF) to prove (CLT) and also to portray the shape of different sample sizes (15, 30 and 100) of distributions of sample means on a histogram. The population distributions studied were: Normal, Gamma and Exponential distributions. In addition, sampling distribution of the mean table was constructed for better understanding of CLT. The study used simulation to simulate population distribution of Normal, Gamma and Exponential. Five hundred (500) distributions of sample means were drawn from each of the simulated population distributions at three different sample sizes (n): 15, 30 and 100. The shape of the simulated population distribution and sampling distribution of mean were presented on a histogram. The mean and standard deviation of each population distribution together with distribution of sample means at different sample sizes were also presented on the histogram plotted. The findings showed that under normal distribution, the sampling distribution of mean produced a shape like normal distribution irrespective of the sample size. Conversely, the shape of sampling distribution of mean under non-normal distributions gradually converges to normal distribution as sample size tends to infinity, while the variability of each sampling distribution decreases as the sample size increases. Therefore, CLT holds for large sample size (n ≥ 30).
Mediating Role of Dynamic Capabilities on the Relationship Between Organizational Ambidexterity and Firm Performance of Supermarkets in Kenya

Published: November 2023

Several businesses have established successful strategies in order to move their operations toward the desired future position. However, problems with performance have made it difficult to achieve the suggested future position. The possibility to grow and expand has been found in some supermarkets that embrace organizational ambidexterity. Existing research suggests that supermarkets poor performance can be attributed to informal retail competition, a lack of resource exploitation and exploration, ongoing employee training and development, and consumer preference for convenience because most informal retail locations are more easily accessible. Dynamic capabilities are a firm's ability to adapt and respond to changing environments effectively. They involve processes, routines, and skills that enable an organization to identify, assess, and seize opportunities or respond to threats. Examples of dynamic capabilities in the supermarket industry might include the ability to quickly adjust product offerings in response to changing customer preferences or rapidly reconfigure supply chain operations in response to disruptions. Dynamic capabilities can mediate the relationship between organizational ambidexterity and supermarket performance by enhancing exploration and exploitation. Organizational ambidexterity involves both exploration and exploitation activities. Dynamic capabilities play a crucial role in facilitating these activities. Supermarkets operate in a dynamic and competitive environment. Dynamic capabilities help them adapt to changing market conditions. For example, if a supermarket identifies a shift in customer preferences towards organic products, dynamic capabilities can help in quickly sourcing and stocking these products, thereby improving performance.

The 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutations can reduce the activity of the enzyme, which has been shown to be a significant factor in the risk of developing certain types of cancer and numerous other diseases, including cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, ischemia, venous thrombosis, hypotonia, and many others. This study aims to determine the frequency of the two most prevalent MTHFR gene polymorphisms, C677T and A1298C, in the Syrian coastal population. Real-time PCR is used to detect MTHFR gene variants in samples from seventy healthy males from Syrian Coastal Area. The frequency of the C/C, C/T, and T/T genotypes for the C677T polymorphism was 47.14 percent, 38.57 percent, and 14.29 percent, respectively. The overall carrier rate was 52.86%, and the allelic frequency was 0.336. The genotypic prevalence of A/A, A/C, and C/C for the A1298C polymorphism was 44.29%, 35.71%, and 20%, respectively, with an allelic frequency of 0.378, while the overall carrier rate was 55.71%. In conclusion, the high prevalence of the MTHFR A1298C polymorphism is a significant finding that must be investigated in terms of clinical implications and reveals an additional genetic trait unique to the Syrian coast population.

Authors: Abdulaziz Asaad Remal
Published: November 2023

Notable incidence of obesity and dysfunction of adiposity tissue is strongly presented in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) worldwide. Relative Fat Mass (RFM) is anew, simple and inexpensive marker of whole body fat that predicts diabetes, dyslipidemia and dysglycemia as cardio-metabolic disorders. The current study aimed to evaluate the clinical applications of RFM as an obesity marker to predict the diabetes and to evaluate metabolic disorders associated with development of T2DM. The study was conducted on 118 adult patients with T2DMand on 51 healthy individuals seen at Tishreen University Hospital (TUH) and Diabetes Center of Lattakia city- Syria. Results confirm that RFM is higher in females than males with ratio of 1.5. Strong significant association of RFM withelevated levels of lipid profile-parameters, glycated-hemoglobin (HbA1c)> 8% and eGFR between 30-44ml/min/1.73m2 is seen as uncontrolled T2DM patients (P-value<0.05). RFM can predict diabetes with cutoff value of 33.60 (AUC: 0.77, sensitivity of 72% and Specificity of 100%) in comparison with healthy control, and with cutoff value of 40 with (AUC:0.92, sensitivity of 85% and Specificity of 93%) in females in comparison with males. In conclusion, this study has demonstrated that RFM is a whole body fat marker which significantly associated with obesity, gender and cardio-metabolic disorders in T2DM.
