Published: July 2024

According to Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), aquaculture has grown faster and its expansion aimed at meeting the increase of world fish demand, and preserving natural fish stocks. Currently, to produce fish in quantity and quality requires reduction of the environmental impact from aquaculture, through the improvement of culture systems. Disease is the major factor affecting the development and expansion in aquaculture. Losses due to disease in shrimp farming are high. Various approaches to minimize the impact of disease on production are possible. Another approach to keep the pathogen pressure low is polyculture of shrimp and finfish. This practice makes shrimp farming more sustainable by reducing the environmental impact and the incidence of shrimp disease. Antimicrobial peptides in the fish skin kill shrimp pathogens, keeping pathogen pressure of bacteria and viruses low. In polyculture, shrimps can eat tilapia faeces and unused fish feed, while tilapia filter phytoplankton, reducing the risk of low dissolved oxygen levels at night. In addition, shrimp bioturbation at the pond bottom returns nutrients to the water column, enhancing phytoplankton production and consequently the natural feed available for the tilapia. Biofloc technology (BFT) is one of the most applicable and promising systems for sustainable aquaculture development. This technology is essentially based on the recycling of nutrients via microorganisms, primarily (i) heterotrophic bacteria, which convert nitrogen compounds into microbial biomass, in addition to serves as a source of food for aquatic organisms, and (ii) chemoautotrophic bacteria, which convert ammonia to nitrite and nitrate.

In this work, based on fundamental principles well-established in the field of drying technology, optimization for the process of material drying involves controlling the mechanism of moisture transfer by influencing diffusion and thermo-diffusion processes. Based on the Kirpichov criterion, a quantitative measure of moisture transfer dynamics is ensured, while Nusselt numbers help control temperature gradient and efficient moisture removal. The article proposes the use of empirical relationships between Nusselt numbers and problem parameters such as moisture content, temperature, and airflow velocity. Optimizing drying parameters based on the proposed equations can contribute to improving drying quality, reducing process time, and lowering energy consumption. The proposed methods of moisture and temperature gradient control within the material are sustainable and allow us to achieve uniform drying without causing excessive stresses or deformation.

Paper studies ultra-parabolic equations with three groups of spatial variables appearing in Asian options problems. The class of these equations which satisfy some conditions was denoted by EB22. This class is a generalization of the well-known class of degenerate parabolic Kolmogorov type equations E22. So called L-type fundamental solutions have been constructed for the equations from the class EB22 previously, and some their properties have been established as well. The main feature of the research was the establishing of an one-to-one correspondence between the classes EB22 and E22. The Cauchy problem classic fundamental solutions for the equations from the class EB22 are considered. Special H\"older conditions with respect to spatial variables are applied to the coefficients of the equations.

Operating room scheduling is a complex process that involves various resources and takes the interests of many parties into consideration. The genetic algorithm is the frequently used metaheuristic algorithm to solve a large-size operating room scheduling problem. Many techniques have been developed to improve the genetic algorithms' performance in dealing with the operating room scheduling complexity. In this paper, we survey available literature to identify improvement techniques used at each stage of the genetic algorithm and capture the underlying problems. This review provides a mapping of improvement techniques in genetic algorithms correlating with the considered problems. The results can be employed by other researchers as a guide for future research in integrating a genetic algorithm or other population-based metaheuristic algorithm with a recent heuristic algorithm following the future directions of operating room scheduling research.

Розглянуто педагогічну спадщину Олександра Захаренка. З’ясовано, що характерною рисою науковця є гідний рівень педагогічної культури, яка спонукала стати генератором різноманітних новаторських ідей, що стали основою сформованої ним філософсько‐педагогічної парадигми розвитку освіти. Основу цієї парадигми становить виховання, особливо трудове виховання, яке варто перетворити на необхідність. Він довів, що такі інституції, як родина, школа, село, Україна, Всесвіт є тим онтологічним середовищем у якому відбувається становлення особистості. Важливу роль відводив етиці та естетиці, яка розглядається крізь призму творення, взаємовідносин та сприйняття Іншого. З’ясовано, що педагог випереджав час і його ідеї поряд з педагогами‐гуманістами є актуальними сьогодні, адже вони засуджували класичну систему освіти і пропагували ту, що орієнтується на людину, суспільство та час. У процесі дослідження для досягнення поставлених завдань і реалізації мети були використані наступні методи: історичний, аналізу, діалектичний, аксіологічний та антропологічний.
РОЛЬ ГІТЛЕРЮГЕНДУ У ВИХОВАННІ НІМЕЦЬКОЇ МОЛОДІ (1933–1945 РР.)

Published: July 2024

Безперечно, виховання та освіта визначаються політичними, соціальними та економічними реаліями того чи іншого суспільства. У тоталітарному суспільстві, як показує практика, виховання відіграє величезну роль, оскільки воно має створювати і постійно зміцнювати основу тоталітарної системи. Ба більше, сама тоталітарна система передбачає через виховання створити «нову людину», не просто віддану або лояльну до режиму, а таку, що є його складовою частиною, яка не мислить свого існування поза рамками тоталітарного ладу. У Радянському Союзі це мала бути «радянська людина», у Третьому рейху – «націонал‐соціалістична людина». Виявлено, що стосовно дітей, які не мають життєвого досвіду і усталених принципів, тоталітарна система Німеччини 1933– 1945 рр. застосовувала витончені виховні технології. Однією з таких технологій було залучення до Гітлерюгенду з усіма відповідними впливами на молодь. Рух Гітлерюгенд мав чотири підрозділи, структуровані за статтю та віком: «Німецька молодь» (Deutsches Jungvolk) для хлопців від 10 до 14 років; Союз молодих дівчат (Jungmädelbund) для дівчат від 10 до 14 років; Союз німецьких дівчат (Bund Deutscher Mädel або BDM) для дівчат від 14 до 18 років; «Гітлерівська молодь» (Hitlerjugend) для хлопців від 14 до 18 років. Пізніше нацисти створили добровільний підрозділ Союзу німецьких дівчат для молодих жінок віком 17–21 рік під назвою «Віра та краса».

Authors: Aristides Samuel , Lubis Fetty Fitriyanti
Published: July 2024

The use of smartphones varies from person to person, and one of the uses that requires attention is multitasking using a smartphone. Multitasking is usually done on computers, but the increase in smartphones’ screen size and RAM capacity makes it an option for multitasking. The implementation of multitasking on smartphones still has weaknesses, and this final project aims to create an interaction design that overcomes these weaknesses. The method used is user-centered design with problem analysis through questionnaires and current implementation analysis, followed by determining needs, followed by creating low fidelity and high fidelity designs, and finally testing those designs. Two iterations of the design resulted in a final design that has a SUS score of 91 (Grade A), an ease of use score that is not lower than 6.3 out of 7, a task completion rate of 100%, and icons that are almost entirely easy to find with a time-to-locate time of 0-5 seconds. The final design can be implemented on Android, but implementation on iOS needs to wait for its software to support the proposed solution.

Authors: Singh Jagbir , Khambete Niranjan D.
Published: July 2024

There are various methods for cell growth monitoring. However, most of these methods have drawbacks, such as being invasive, not providing real-time results, or being costly. In this study, we present an alternate method of cell growth monitoring, which is low-cost, non-invasive, real-time, and uses Electrical Impedance Spectro-scopy (EIS). In this work, commercially available culture plates were fitted with custom tetrapolar electrodes, and mouse cells were cultured on them. The variation of culture media impedance, resulting from cell growth, proliferation and other metabolic activities, was recorded over a period of seven days. The results demonstrated an initial increase in impedance corresponding with the cell growth phase, followed by a decrease during the cell death (apoptosis) phase, as confirmed by microscope images. Overall, the results show that our method to monitor cell growth using tetrapolar electrodes is promising and can be further refined for related applications.

The Impact of Structural Transformation on Global Value Chains in the MENA Countries
Authors: Frikha Nihel , Gabsi Foued Badr
Published: July 2024

Several studies on economic transition propose that structural change in developing countries, that involves reallocating from less productive to more productive sectors, might enhance participation in global value chains (GVCs). However, there is a lack of empirical work on this claim. This study explores the factors affecting global value chain (GVC) participation in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region while considering structural transformation from 2000 to 2018. By applying the system GMM empirical research method, we found that structural change significantly contributes to facilitating the position of MENA economies under consideration. Specifically, the service and industry sectors play pivotal roles in these countries. This study also postulates that if we want to strengthen the participation of companies in GVCs, access to the internet, and a high level of education tertiary are necessary Also, environment and policies conducive to investment and direct investment abroad are important. The study posits positive commercial and financial links, and population size as important factors in promoting this position.

This article starts from the empirical study of economic and social policies at the European level and has as its main purpose the determination of some solutions to simplify and implement them in favor of the data analysis was essential to see the progress in accessing these measures during the pandemic period to provide conclusions regarding the level of contribution of these aids and how they were or were not distributed depending on the situation in the territory. The present research did not discuss overall evaluation/impact, as the period of implementation and reporting of these types of aid was concurrent. We can consider that the measures for granting financial support from non-reimbursable external funds, related to the Competitiveness Operational Program 2014–2020, in the context of the crisis caused by COVID-19, although effective from the perspective of the expenses incurred, were not effective in covering the demand, especially in the regions considered more developed. Our findings are useful for policymakers such as managers and investors and can help them make the best decision for their managing or investing activities. Moreover, governments need to know how companies respond to the pandemic to identify the sectors of activity that are more vulnerable to the crisis’ effects and the main financial management decisions that must be adopted by companies during times of crises.

Creative Accounting: A Literature Review
Authors: Murineanu Alina Maria
Published: July 2024

Creative accounting has come to the attention of researchers and continues to remain a hot topic due to major financial scandals where companies have used creative accounting techniques for various reasons. Creative accounting is often seen as a manipulation of figures to show what management, the preparers of financial statements want them to show. This paper is a traditional review of the literature dealing with the concept of creative accounting. In it I highlight what the definitions of creative accounting are, the views on creative accounting, the motivation for using creative accounting and the topics discussed on creative accounting in the literature. The research is conducted on a sample of 14 articles selected from the EbscoHost and ProQuest databases. In the articles included in the sample, creative accounting is generally viewed from a negative perspective, as a manipulation of financial statements, aiming to mislead the users of these reports. Reasons why companies choose to use creative accounting practices include: keeping company results within the limits set by shareholders, raising additional capital at a favorable price, meeting listing requirements, lower taxation, deferring insolvency, smoothing earnings to show a better image to investors, hiding poor management. This research aims to be a literature review showing what the view of creative accounting has been in recent years, with most of the articles reviewed from the period 2010-2022.

Authors: Hoinaru Răzvan , Petre Radu , Niţoi Daniel , Marin Florentina , Matisek Jahara
Published: July 2024

In the context of legislation introduced in Romania through Law 1 of 2020 regarding occupational pensions, this paper presents an evaluation of occupational pension system for police and military personnel and takes into consideration privately administered funds that would complement the current system. The paper evaluates the impact of the complementary occupational pension system, focusing on its dual role as both a fiscal instrument for internal financing within Romania and a mechanism for enhancing social and economic security for retired police and military staff. The occupational pension system can diversify funding sources, potentially easing the national public debt burden, while offering a sustainable and adequate retirement income for service members.

Furthermore, the analysis extends to the occupational pension system's efficacy in fostering workforce stability, particularly post-eligibility for military state pensions. The study addresses the system's potential influence on staff motivation and retention, underpinning its role in maintaining a robust and committed service workforce. This simulation-based study leverages international models and legislative frameworks to corroborate these benefits, providing a nuanced understanding of the occupational pension system’s role in the broader context of public service pensions.

Authors: Caraiani Cristian , Pelau Corina , Gati Mirko
Published: July 2024

The use of electric cars has increased in recent years and has an accelerating development. Despite its advantages and growing trends, it still faces the challenge of limited autonomy range of batteries and under developed infrastructure. Both aspects are key factors in the decision of consumers to buy an electric car. In order to do so, consumers have to feel comfortable with the autonomy range of their electric car and the possibility to reload it, by having a well-developed charging stations infrastructure. Our paper deals with the perception of consumers regarding the risks associated with the limited autonomy of cars and expectation towards charging infrastructure. In a quantitative study, we analyze from two perspective the level of consumers’ comfort related to the autonomy of their electrical mobility. On the one hand we analyze the different perception related to the autonomy of the electric car. On the other hand, we analyze the expectation towards the infrastructure of charging stations. As expected, consumers feel more comfortable with autonomy ranges of more than 500 kilometers for electric cars. For the charging infrastructure, consumers prefer distances shorter than 50 kilometers between charging stations, in order to feel comfortable.

Published: July 2024

Research on educational leadership has received significant scholarly attention for over half a century, resulting in a vast body of literature on the subject. Numerous studies and inquiries have highlighted that educational leadership is an exceedingly complex and vital phenomenon. However, a gap persists in scholarly discourse concerning the presentation of this knowledge base through bibliometric analysis. This study seeks to provide an overview of the evolution of this concept by identifying articles published in journals indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) database between 1993 and 2024. The search employed terms such as "educational leadership", „educational management” "leadership in education," "school leadership”, „teacher leadership”, „style leadership in education” and „school improvement”yielding an initial total of 3089 articles. Subsequently, following the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 1583 studies were retained for analysis. The research encompasses the general profile of articles, the annual distribution of article frequency, the most prolific researchers, journals, and countries by article count, the most influential articles based on citation count, the most frequently recurring author keywords, and the year of publication of these articles. The contribution of this study lies primarily in highlighting the systematic methodologies employed in research analyses in educational leadership and management. Additionally, collaborative patterns among authors, universities, and countries are presented and analyzed. The conclusions provide valuable insights for researchers into the detailed evolution of educational leadership through the structuring of existing literature in the field. Furthermore, based on these findings, some suggestions have been made for identifying new research themes in this field, both conceptually and empirically.

Introduction

Cardiac interventions in the setting of a ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) often require complex decision-making, especially when confronted with coronary bifurcation lesions. Although provisional stenting is the first choice regarding revascularization, bailout or upfront two stents may be required.

Case presentation

We present the case of a 53-year-old male patient with a history of arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes who presented to our emergency department with an ST-elevation myocardial infarction associated with inferior and posterior wall involvement. The patient’s coronary angiogram revealed a thrombotic occlusion in the second segment of the right coronary artery. A dual stenting technique was employed using simultaneous kissing stents to address this complex coronary bifurcation lesion. Six months follow up with coronary angiography and optical coherence tomography demonstrated functional neo carina with no malapposition and successful endothelialization of two stents.

Conclusions

In our case, the simultaneous kissing stents approach was deemed appropriate due to the presence of a thrombotic bifurcation lesion involving both the posterior descending artery and retro posterior branch, while minimizing the risk of side branch compromise.
