Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND: Despite the physical nature of the occupation many firefighters have low levels of physical fitness which is associated with poor performance of occupational tasks and increased injury rates. For many fire departments an initial step in promoting health and wellness within the department is to conduct annual fitness testing. OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of implementing a consequential fitness assessment within a fire department. METHODS: A retrospective repeated measures design was used to analyze annual fitness assessment data of professional firefighters (n = 1415) from 2019 to 2022 within a large urban fire department located in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The fitness tests included assessments of pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, aerobic capacity, and body composition. Repeated measure analyses of variances (ANOVAs) assessed the effect of year and a 2-way ANOVA was conducted to investigate the effects of sex and age on fitness measures on 2022 data. RESULTS: All fitness measures were found to be maintained over the 4-year period. Significant main effects of age and sex across all fitness measures, but no significant interactions were found. Older firefighters (50 + years) exhibited lower performance (p < 0.001, d > 0.80) on muscular fitness assessments than young firefighters (20–29 years). A large effect of sex (males > females) was found for pull-ups (d = 1.04), push-ups (d = 1.23), and aerobic capacity (d = 1.38). CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that implementing a consequential fitness assessment could help maintain firefighters’ fitness levels over a multi-year period.
Closing the Knowledge Gap of Black Box Warnings: A Novel Approach for Enhanced Awareness and Prevention Among Health Professionals for Patient Safety
Authors: Ahmed Amr , Akl Maher M. , Albaalawi Yousef
Published: February 2024

The knowledge and awareness of health professionals and patients surrounding black box warnings are still gaping. Our target is finding solutions to prevent potential side effects and severe interactions. Black box warnings are the strongest drug safety warnings issued by regulatory authorities, highlighting the potential risks associated with specific medications. However, there is often limited understanding and awareness of these warnings among both healthcare providers and patients, which can lead to inadequate risk management and patient safety. Therefore, closing knowledge gaps and proposing strategies for improving awareness and reducing adverse events related to medications with black box warnings is crucial. As we witness an unprecedented surge in drug discoveries, especially biological drugs for immunological disorders and cancer therapy, growing dramatically and receiving approvals by the FDA, the landscape of healthcare is rapidly evolving. With the remarkable advancements in immunotherapy, particularly the proliferation of monoclonal antibody drugs, we are witnessing a paradigm shift in the treatment of various conditions. However, this surge in drug approvals has brought forth a crucial concern - the increasing prevalence of Black Box Warnings associated with many of these drugs. A Black Box Warning, recognized as the most critical indication of potential serious side effects by the FDA, is typically issued post-marketing. This revelation highlights a significant gap in our understanding, particularly in terms of knowledge and adherence to these warnings by healthcare professionals, including physicians and pharmacists. We suggest the black box warning must have a barcode or logo on the outer pack of the drug if it has a black box warning, as this will give an alert for serious side effects or interactions for patient safety and provide an alert for physicians, patients, and pharmacists. Also, we suggest the warning black box drugs must be registered as notes in prescriptions and medical records at hospitals and in pharmacist and patient files, as this enhances health outcomes and avoids serious side effects for patient safety.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the state of the second most important industry for the Ukrainian economy – the mining and metallurgical complex. The purpose of the article was analytical substantiation of the causes and consequences of problematic functioning of enterprises of the mining and metallurgical complex of Ukraine. Iron ore raw materials are one of the few types of mass export products in Ukraine. The analyzed indicators of individual companies in the industry show that the decline in MMC has not been overcome, despite some improvement in recent months. The dynamics of the number of personnel at individual mining enterprises in the period from January 2022 to June 2023 were studied, that is, a comparison of current with pre-war indicators. In addition, the dynamics of wages for the specified period at mining, metallurgical and pipe enterprises were analyzed. The most significant negative impact caused by the war was ground by the loss of large metallurgical plants in Mariupol and the blockade of Black Sea ports through which the products of metallurgical enterprises were exported. At the same time, one of the most significant internal negative factors is the lack of proper modernization of production and, as a consequence, the loss of competitive advantages. The conducted analysis indicates an unstable situation in metallurgy. Possible force majeure circumstances can radically change expectations, therefore protection of one of the most important industries in Ukraine's economy should become one of the main tasks of the state during martial law.

The article discusses the methodology for calculating the turnover coefficient and period of turnover of inventory for a company with irregular stock on hand. It emphasizes the importance of the indicator characterizing the turnover of working capital associated with inventory. A scientific and methodological approach is proposed for evaluating the product turnover period to optimize and enhance the efficiency of managing an e-commerce business. The article identifies the problems that arise when using the classical method for calculating the turnover coefficient and turnover period of goods and demonstrates the challenges of automatically calculating these indicators using alternative calculation schemes proposed by Ukrainian and foreign authors. A new algorithm for calculating the turnover period of goods based on an “event-based” approach is proposed. This methodology involves capturing the timing of “events” such as the purchase and sale of goods, which represent moments when funds are tied up in inventory and then returned to circulation. Model examples illustrate the accurate calculation of the turnover period for irregular goods that may temporarily be absent from a company’s inventory. The ability to automatically calculate these indicators for a significant number of product items is also demonstrated. The methodology proposed by the authors is universal and does not require additional conditions when calculating turnover indicators, whether for regularly stocked items, periodically stocked items, or seasonally stocked items. The methodology is not limited by the calculation period and can be equally effective for short and long calculation periods. Automating the calculation of inventory turnover based on the proposed “event-based” algorithm significantly enhances the efficiency of managing e-commerce businesses and improves the methodology of ABC analysis of a company’s product portfolio. The authors’ methodology for calculating the turnover period of goods is original, with no similar methods found in other publications related to the turnover of working capital associated with a company’s inventory.

ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ШТУЧНОГО ІНТЕЛЕКТУ В НАВЧАННІ ДІТЕЙ З ІНТЕЛЕКТУАЛЬНИМИ ПОРУШЕННЯМИ
Authors: Миронова Світлана Петрівна
Published: February 2024

Штучний інтелект (далі – ШІ) доволі стрімко увійшов в усі галузі нашого життя, у тому числі науку й освіту. Актуальність проблеми вимагає відповідних наукових пошуків щодо шляхів та можливостей використання ChatGPT-застосунків в освітньому процесі. У статті висвітлюються результати дослідження з визначення можливостей, проблем, недоліків використання застосунку ChatGPT у навчанні дітей з інтелектуальними порушеннями (далі – дітей з ІП). Методами дослідження були: аналіз літературних джерел, опитування корекційних педагогів, бесіда із ШІ. Попри дискусії вчені й практики висловлюються на користь використання ШІ в освіті з чітким визначенням його ролі як віртуального помічника педагога. Дослідники цієї проблеми зауважують, що і вчителі, і діти мають бути підготовленими до взаємодії із ChatGPT. Опитування фахівців засвідчило, що вони не проти використання ChatGPT-застосунків в освітній практиці, проте більшість із них скептично ставляться до самостійної роботи з ними учнів з ІП. Також вчителі вважають, що і вони, і учні є недостатньо обізнаними в питаннях взаємодії із ШІ. Визначено, що ШІ можна використовувати для: індивідуалізації навчальних програм, адаптації та модифікації завдань, візуалізації навчального процесу, надання додаткової інформації, підтримки сформованих навичок, моніторингу результативності навчання, розвитку комунікативних навичок і навичок критичного мислення. До проблем використання ШІ належать: відсутність адаптації до індивідуальних потреб дитини, неспроможність врахувати специфічні особливості дітей з ІП, відсутність взаємодії з дітьми, їхнього емоційного сприйняття та гнучкості, неточність і неактуальність відповідей, неготовність вчителів до використання ШІ, відсутність у дітей навичок роботи із ChatGPT- застосунками. ШІ не замінить реального вчителя. Його використання повинно супроводжуватися підтримкою та супроводом корекційних педагогів, що є компетентними в психофізичних особливостях дітей з ІП, знають специфіку методів навчання та засобів корекції.

Authors: Özcan Büyüktanır Burcu Gülseren
Published: February 2024

The violation of the right of bodily integrity constitutes the violation of personality rights as well. In case of violation of bodily integrity, tortfeasor must compensate the damages of the injured person’s pecuniary and non-pecuniary compensation.
Pecuniary compensation can be claimed by the injured person himself/herself or by his/her heirs. This is because pecuniary damage endangers the succession rights and decrease the value of the heritage.
Non-pecuniary compensation can be claimed by the person whose personality rights or bodily integrity is violated in principle in Turkish Legal System. But in cases of serious personal injury or death, by the legal dependants of the injured/dead person due to the Turkish Code of Obligation Article 56. In the latter case, heirs do not enjoy right to claim non-pecuniary compensation on behalf of the injured person unless the injured person did not claim the non-pecuniary compensation when he/she was alive depending on Turkish Civil Code Article 25.

Home movies as technologies of belonging and resistance
Authors: Patton Elizabeth
Published: February 2024

This article examines the significance of home movies as tools of resistance and belonging, particularly for African American families during the Civil Rights era. Focusing on archival collections from the South Side Home Movie Project (SSHMP), African American Home Movie Archive (AAHMA), and the National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC), the study reveals how African American families, through their cinematic documentation of visits to national parks and other leisure activities, challenged prevailing narratives of national identity. Despite encountering rampant discrimination, these families captured moments of joy and relaxation, highlighting their resilience and assertion of their rightful place within the American narrative. These historical home movies are profound testimonials of Black identity, resilience, and belonging in the face of adversity. Examining these films enriches our understanding of cultural memory, national identity, and the role of African American home movies in presenting a more nuanced American history.
Precarity and resistance: Mediating home across contemporary Europe through the short hybrid film
Authors: Sborgi Anna Viola
Published: February 2024

Addressing an increasingly globalised housing crisis, European filmmakers have turned their attention to the precarity of home, generating a vast mediascape of activist documentaries, essay films, shorts, and some features. Adopting a film and urbanism approach, in this article I take a specific focus on the short film form, framing it as a space for experimentation, and offering a snapshot of a wider transnational corpus of media. I compare two 2019 short films by two emerging women artists: British Ayo Akingbade’s Dear Babylon and Portuguese Leonor Teles Dogs Barking at Birds (Cães Que Ladram Aos Pássaros). These artists’ works establish film as a form of resistance while, at the same time, being rooted in an understanding of socio-economic inequality in housing. Purposedly merging observational, participatory methods with the fictional, these two films share a focus on young people in uncertain living conditions. Grappling with their individual situations the youth at the centre of these stories build forms of resistance to their present housing struggles in the attempt to shape a better future for themselves and their community.

Nodular hidradenoma is a rare benign tumour originating from eccrine or apocrine sweat glands. While documented cases exist in the medical literature, nodular hidradenoma of the scalp is relatively uncommon. We present a rare case of nodular hidradenoma located on the scalp to contribute to the limited knowledge regarding its clinical presentation, diagnosis, management and outcomes in this specific anatomical site. We present a case of a 45-year-old female with a nodular hidradenoma of the scalp. The patient complained of a slow growing swelling, itchy, slightly tender scalp lump over 9 years period. Clinical examination revealed a well-defined, firm nodule measuring 3.5 x 3 cms in diameter with 2 cms wide stalk. The patient underwent complete surgical excision, resulting in a favourable outcome for regular follow up to one year

This paper examines the nature of public administration characterizing Sub- Saharan Africa to reveal some of the lasting impacts it has had in the regions and probe into the constitutional architecture. It showcases the major and often ignored constitutional differences between the former colonies of Britain and France that have unavoidably led to the widening gap between these countries. This paper digs deep into these country’s constitutions to expose the reservations behind semi-presidentialism, which was emulated by these countries, but over the years, has produced very unsimilar results. It then concludes that the complexities surrounding the various problems facing these countries are not far-fetched, but consecrated into the very foundations of these states in the form of patron-client relationships and rent-seeking attitudes.
