A Methodology to Evaluate Unrestrained Torso Neck Braces for Near
Vertex Impacts
Authors: de Jongh Cornelis U. , Basson Anton H. , Knox Erick H. , Leatt Christopher J.
Published: August 2024

The advent of neck braces for the helmeted motorcycle rider has introduced a
pertinent research question: To what extent do they reduce measures related to
the major mechanism of neck injury in unrestrained torso accidents, i.e.,
compression flexion (CF)? This question requires a suitable method of testing
and evaluating the measures for a load case resulting in the required mechanism.
This study proposes a weighted swinging anvil striking the helmeted head of a
supine HIII ATD by means of a near vertex impact with a low degree of anterior
head impact eccentricity to induce CF of the neck. The applied impact was chosen
for the baseline (no neck brace) so that the upper and lower neck axial forces
approached injury assessment reference values (IARV). The head impact point
evaluated represents those typically associated with high-energy burst fractures
occurring within the first 20 ms, with possible secondary disruption of
posterior ligaments. The proposed test can be used to evaluate the initial and
secondary period of neck loading resultant from a near vertex impact and the
effect of a neck brace thereon. The presented case study shows that unless
almost touching the helmet, neck braces are likely to have a negligible effect
on the axial load response of the neck within the first 20 ms after impact and
are, therefore, unlikely to affect injury risk related to initial compressive
loading of the neck. Conversely, a neck brace can affect neck response in
bending during a near vertex CF loading event. Hence, assessing these devices is
important to determine their potential in stabilizing the spine. The proposed
test shows that the neck loading mechanism does not necessarily correspond with
the observed head motion, especially in the early stages of neck response. These
head/neck kinetics are important to consider when designing an evaluation load
case.

Authors: N S Omang , F I Ahakiri , S O Abang , F P Kengne , P Ubi
Published: August 2024

Economic theory says that financial openness should foster economic growth. In view of this study, this study examined the impact of financial openness on economic growth in Nigeria using annual data for the period 1981 to 2023. The use of the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach was used. The study made use of De jure and the De facto as a measure of financial openness and other variables like Foreign Direct Investment, Gross Fixed Capita Formation, Real Interest Rate, Real Effective Exchange Change Rate as the independent variables while Real Gross Domestic Product was employed as the dependent variable. The result of the study show that a 10 per cent increase in financial openness De Jure measure will lead to a 0.16 percent increase in real gross domestic product (RGDP). Also, the value of the coefficients of (0.006583) implies that an increase in balance of payment by 10 per cent will result to an increase in real gross domestic product by 0.07 per cent. The study found out that the variables of financial openness variables are both positively and negatively signed but statistically significant. The study concluded that changes in financial openness affect economic growth. The study shows that a positive relationship exists between market capitalization, De jure financial openness, and economic growth. Based on the results obtained, the study recommended that effective policies should be put in place to control the interest and exchange rate. This is vital because management of financial openness and all international capital flows that will contribute positively to the growth of the economy can only be accomplished by a stable interest and exchange rate. The study further recommend that banks should be encouraged to extend more credit to private sector. But there is a serious need for discipline and discretion in credit allocation by the banks.
Response surface methodology approach of inducing amylolytic enzymes from Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua grains
Authors: Adefila O.A. , Adewale O.I.
Published: August 2024

In this study, amylolytic enzymes were induced and extracted from the grains of Digitaria exilis (Acha) and Digitaria iburua (Iburu) which  are underutilized African cereals. These findings can aid in determining the suitability of enzymes from the grains as a suitable alternative  to enzymes from other tropical cereals. Whole grains of Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua (100 g) were steeped in water and  water containing phosphate salt for 24 h at room temperature and germinated in a locally constructed malting chamber for six (6) days.  The most appropriate pH and temperature conditions for the induction of amylolytic enzymes in the grains were selected based on the  central composite design of response surface methodology (RSM). The amylolytic activities of crude extracts from harvested malts of D.  exilis and D. iburua were measured by assaying the reducing sugar released from starch the using dinitrosalicylic acid method and soluble  proteins were quantified by the Bradford method. The highest amylolytic enzyme activities were 17,948 and 24,337 units/mg  protein for D. exilis and D. iburua respectively on day two (2) of the malting process. RSM showed that the maximum induction of amylolytic activity in grains of D. exilis and D. iburua was achieved by steeping in water containing phosphate salt at pH 6.5 and  temperature of 22.5°C.The study concluded that grains of D. exilis and D. iburua were rich sources of amylases and could be of valuable  for various biotechnological applications through studies of their physicochemical properties.

The following article by Andrzej Mirga is republished from a special issue of ‘Etnografia Polska’ journal 22(2) 1978 devoted to Roma (at that time consistently referred to as ‘Gypsies’) and Romani studies. The author presents the image of the non-Roma people widespread among the Carpathian Roma – inhabitants of a Roma settlement in the Polish Spiš region. The argumentation is based on the dichotomy ‘Rom – Gadjo’. The article is published with the permission of the Author and the editors of ‘Etnografia Polska’.
Korkore pał peste – Sami o sobie. Romska historia powojennych migracji wewnętrznych polskich Romów Karpackich
Authors: Szewczyk Monika I.
Published: August 2024

The presented article will address the issues of internal migration of the Carpathian Roma after World War II in Poland. They will be shown from the Roma perspective, thus becoming part of decolonisation processes. I understand decolonisation in this perspective as listening to the voices of the native population, negating the superiority and reversing the nationalistic history in which there is no place for ethnic minorities. Hence, the article is mainly based on the concept of oral history, which gives the Roma the opportunity to construct their own narrative about themselves in public and academic spaces. On the basis of autoethnography, as well as ethnographic and archival research I have conducted, the article will present two waves of internal migration of Polish Carpathian Roma. Voluntary migration to Nowa Huta of an economic nature, linked to the urbanisation and industrialisation of the country. From the point of view of a person immersed in Roma culture, this migration is uncritically and stereotypically reproduced. The second type of migration is forced migration, related to the resettlement of the Carpathian Roma during the Operation Vistula to the Western and Northern Territories. The history of these resettlements is absent from narratives about the post-1947 social landscape in Poland, just as the history of their residence in the area of the present-day Podkarpackie Voivodeship is little known.

Published: August 2024

L’Approche Patient Partenaire de Soins (APPS) propose de considérer le patient comme un membre à part entière de l’équipe de soins. Les établissements hospitaliers (ETS) sont des acteurs clés pour la développer, mais qu’en est-il en pratique?Objectif : Evaluation des pratiques mises en place s’alignant sur le développement de l’APPS au niveau des E>TS en Lorraine. Méthode : Etude par auto-questionnaire avec relance réaliséeauprès des directeurs des ETS en 2018. Le questionnaire comportait 67 items répartis en 6 chapitres (Caractéristiques, ETS, vision/Mission de l’ETS, soins, organisation, éducation, recherche), développés dans le cadre du projet INTERREG. Résultats : 28 ETS ont répondu totalement au questionnaire (taux d’exploitation 50%) presque 90% des directions encouragent le partenariat avec les patients. Mais le plan stratégique de l’ETS intègre cet aspect pour seulement 25%.un comité de patient est présent dans la moitié des ETS. Plus de 80% affirment que l’implication des patients dans leur parcours de soins est une priorité, notamment à travers les programmes autorisés d’ETP (61%). Des patients experts/ressources en ETP interviennent dans la moitié des ETS. Plus d’un tiers des ETS impliquent des patients dans la production de ressources ( ex. Brochures) destinées aux patients. Seulement 8% des ETS ont des patients qui participent à la formation ou à la sensibilisation des professionnels.Conclusion : Si l’on considère une hétérogénéité des pratiques selon le type d’établissement, la démarche APPS est en cours d’implantation dans presque tous tes ETS lorrains. L’ETP permet le développement assez significatif de cette approche par ailleurs assez avancée par rapport aux autres pays participant au projet INTERREG.

Authors: Hoang Nguyen Thi
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study is to explore changes in the laundry service business, which is one of the businesses in the service sector that is currently in great demand by boarding housewives and children in Trà Vinh Vietnam City. The research method used is an exploratory method through surveys and in-depth interviews with 15 laundry service businessmen in Tra Vinh City, Vietnam. The survey was conducted in November 2020-April 2021. Where washing clothes through laundry services are considered more efficient and effective. It is believed that this land service will continue to survive, considering that even though washing clothes is a trivial things, this activity requires a lot of time and energy. Practicality is the most basic thing for people who are more active outside the home. By using laundry services, people have more extra time to do other activities. Another thing why laundry services are more effective is because of the need, where there are various types of clothes/items that cannot be washed manually because they require extra attention and special treatment during the washing process. In the era of digitalization, it is also necessary to develop how the laundry service business can survive and develop rapidly so as not to be left behind with similar services. Laundry service owners must dare to make changes for the sake of business development. This change must also be supported by employees, where employees also play an important role in the development of a business, employees who provide good service to consumers give their own impression in the hearts of consumers so that they can make them regular customers

One of the most common chronic diseases affecting the elderly is knee osteoarthritis (OA) that significantly impairs the activity of the daily living. Change of mechanical axis of the knee causes impairment on the three compartments of knee. If the medial compartment is affected, it will cause varus knee deformity, whereas, involvement of lateral compartment will result in valgus knee deformity. Deformities of angular and/or rotational nature can be corrected using the knee osteotomy technique, consequently realigning the bone axis.The osteotomy technique has been developed for centuries. Current growing interest in developing minimally invasive techniques for high tibial osteotomy (HTO) using smaller incisions, arthroscopy-assisted osteotomy, patients specific instrumentation (PSI) and computer-guided navigations systems. These techniques aim to reduce surgical trauma, minimize scarring, and facilitate faster recovery.
Política agrária e agricultura familiar em Minas Gerais no século XXI: a criação da SEDA
Authors: Gotlib Joyce
Published: August 2024

Neste artigo, o pano de fundo repousa sobre a questão da terra no estado de Minas Gerais, a partir do estudo das iniciativas levadas a cabo pelo governo mineiro, entre 2015 e 2022, direcionadas para o rural. Nosso objetivo central foi mapear os impactos promovidos pela SEDA de Minas Gerais na realização da reforma agrária, atentando-se para a diversidade de sentidos que essa expressão assume para os diferentes atores que disputam recursos no cenário agrário brasileiro. O trabalho foi desenvolvido a partir de pesquisa documental e bibliográfica em fontes primárias e secundárias e, também, de pesquisa qualitativa por meio da realização de entrevistas com os funcionários da SEDA. Ao fim, procuramos evidenciar, baseadas no estudo aqui descrito, que o aumento da participação de ativistas e militantes representantes do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra e dos agricultores familiares no governo Pimentel colaborou para expandir o repertório de ações do Estado. No entanto, a radicalização das disputas no seio do Estado não foi suficiente para romper com o modelo de reforma agrária defendida pelo patronato rural, de caráter capitalista e neoliberal.
A “Necessary” Component in Advancing International Business Research
Authors: Andrews Daniel S. , Fainshmidt Stav
Published: August 2024

International business research must grapple with the interdependencies and context-specificity of phenomena. We propose necessity-based research as a complementary approach to enhancing the rigor and relevance of such scholarship. By focusing on necessary conditions, we offer guidance for how future research can develop actionable theories that account for the complexity of phenomena and better resonate with firms. We illustrate the potential of necessity-based thinking through the lens of multinational firms’ environmental performance, highlighting how conditions may vary in degree and in combination to achieve the outcome. Embracing necessity-driven research can generate new insights that provide clear explanations while avoiding oversimplification.

Application design has increased very rapidly from year to year. One example is an application in the culinary field. Application design can get cooking recipe applications, especially traditional dishes. In the beginning, many recipes were compiled into a recipe book. However, as technology develops, considering how easy it is for people to get various kinds of information, a smartphone application was created. In designing this application, the author used the Ternary Comma Code algorithm for its development. Cooking recipes are really needed as a tool that can guide when preparing cooking ingredients, how to make them and how to serve them in order to produce dishes with delicious and attractive flavors. Ternary Comma Code is a problem solving approach that emphasizes the role of previous experience. New problems can be solved by reusing and perhaps adapting problems that have similarities to those that have been solved previously. This application provides a search feature and recommendations for suitable recipes based on the cooking ingredients available in the user's kitchen using the Ternary Comma Code method. Based on the results of system functional testing, all respondents agreed that the application created functioned as it should.

Aim: Elderly people encounter COVID-19 more frequently due to physiological changes associated with aging and underlying potential health conditions.The study aims to evaluate the impact of baseline patient characteristics on short- and long-term mortality in elderly patients aged 65 and over, classified as youngest-old, middle-aged, or oldest-old, who applied to the pandemic outpatient clinic and had not yet been vaccinated.

Materials and Methods: Symptomatic patients who attended the emergency department were enrolled in the study. Demographic data, symptoms, comorbidities, thoracic computed tomography (CT), and laboratory results were recorded at admission. The primary outcomes were all-cause short-term (within six months) and long-term (within four years) mortality.

Results: The study consists of 393 participants, with a mean age of 67.4 ± 9.8 years and 52.2% male. Considering the death rates in the last four years, it was determined that 72 (18.3%) cases died in the short term, and 104 (26.5%) cases died in the long term. It was found that chronic renal failure (CRF), coronary artery disease (CAD), middle-old and oldest-old-aged patients compared to the 50-64 age group were independent predictors of overall short-term mortality. It was determined that the following factors independently predicted overall long-term mortality: male gender, CAD, malignancy, CRF, fever, and dyspnea symptoms, and the patients of the youngest-old, middle-old, and oldest-old relative to the 50–64 age group.

Conclusion: Advanced age, male gender, symptoms of shortness of breath and fever, high D-dimer levels, the presence of CAD, malignancy, and CRF were related to a higher risk of death from COVID-19 infection in the elderly.
Optimal Care in the Management of Eating Difficulties in Patients with Dementia
Authors: Kul Büşra , Tülek Zeliha
Published: August 2024

Dementia is a progressive, degenerative condition characterized by a decline in cognitive function and is most common in older people. Common symptoms of dementia, such as memory loss, impaired thinking and problem solving, make it difficult to eat. This leads to malnutrition and dehydration. Various interventions are implemented to reduce eating difficulties in patients with dementia. To prevent eating difficulties, it is crucial to assess patients regularly and provide them with optimal nutritional care. This article aims to provide an overview of the eating problems commonly experienced by dementia patients. It also discusses person-centered interventions to identify the causes of malnutrition and provide optimal nutritional care for dementia patients. Direct nutritional support and indirect interventions can have a positive impact on compulsive eating behavior and increased or decreased food intake in patients with dementia. Therefore, recognition of eating difficulties in dementia patients and early intervention can prevent negative consequences such as malnutrition and dehydration.

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a crucial indicator for assessing an individual's maximal oxygen uptake capacity. Although numerous studies have investigated the effects of exercise on CRF, comparisons between high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) in individuals aged 40 and above remain limited and fragmented. This research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of HIIT and MICT in improving VO2peak in individuals aged 40 and above. Data were collected from Scopus and WoS databases using the PRISMA method. Articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using RevMan 5.4 and JASP 0.18.3. The analysis revealed that HIIT has a greater advantage in enhancing VO2peak compared to MICT in individuals aged 40 and above. Overall, HIIT increased VO2peak with a z-value of 5.59 (p-value < 0.00001) and a 95% confidence interval of 0.35 [0.23, 0.48]. Conversely, MICT showed a z-value of 1.84 (p-value = 0.07) and a 95% confidence interval of 0.11 [-0.01, 0.23]. Inter-study heterogeneity was low to moderate, with an I² value of 25% and τ² of 0.03 for HIIT, and an I² value of 0% for MICT. HIIT tends to be more effective than MICT in improving cardiorespiratory fitness in individuals aged 40 and above. However, the difference between the two methods is not statistically significant. Further research with more homogeneous designs and longer intervention durations is needed to confirm these findings and understand the underlying mechanisms of the differences in effectiveness between HIIT and MICT.

This study aimed to demonstrate the effects of moderate-intensity swimming exercise in the morning and evening over 6 weeks on the increase in growth hormone (GH) levels and the decrease in cortisol levels in male mice (Mus musculus). This research is a true-experimental study with a randomized control group posttest-only design. A total of 33 eight-week-old male mice (Mus musculus) weighing 20–40 grams were randomly divided into three groups: CN (n = 11; control without intervention), ME (n = 11; morning exercise), and AE (n = 11; afternoon exercise). Morning and evening exercises with moderate intensity were conducted for 30 minutes per session with a frequency of 3 times per week for 6 weeks. ELISA was used to evaluate posttest GH and cortisol levels in all samples. Data analysis was performed via one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) post hoc test, with a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. The results revealed differences in the increase in GH levels between ME vs CN (5.71±0.88 vs 2.54±0.21 ng/mL, p=0.001), AE vs CN (7.18±1.66 vs 2.54±0.21 ng/mL, p=0.001), and AE vs ME (7.18±1.66 vs 5.71±0.88 ng/mL, p=0.009). Similarly, the decrease in cortisol levels differed among the ME vs CN (6.62±2.37 vs 10.69±4.38 ng/mL, p=0.004), AE vs CN (2.18±0.99 vs 10.69±4.38 ng/mL, p=0.001), and AE vs ME (2.18±0.99 vs 6.62±2.37 ng/mL, p=0.008) groups. This study revealed that both exercise durations significantly increased growth hormone levels and decreased cortisol levels in male mice (Mus musculus). However, evening exercise with moderate intensity was more effective at increasing growth hormone levels and decreasing cortisol levels than morning exercise with moderate intensity in male mice (Mus musculus).

Abstract. This study examines the legal and social perspectives of supporter violence in sports. The study employed a systematic literature review, gathering articles from Google Scholar based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. For example, the search focused on articles published in journals indexed by Scopus databases. In addition, the articles must be published between 2019 and 2024. The keywords used were; "Legal AND Social AND Supporter Violence AND Sport". The search then obtained 61.700 articles. Furthermore, these articles were screened in several stages, yielding 10 articles that met the theme and fulfilled the inclusion requirements. During the article selection, this research followed the PRISMA method. The results revealed that the prevention of supporter violence requires a holistic and integrated approach. Controlling supporters' violent behavior needs not only strict legal frameworks and consistent law enforcement but also organizational culture changes and structural arrangements within sports organizations to instill a culture of anti-violence. Cultural norms and supportive group dynamics also play a role in mitigating violence, showing the need for a community-based approach involving supporters as a part of prevention strategies. This study also found psychological factors such as personality characteristics, empathy, and materialism to be significant factors determining supporters' aggressive behavior. Thus, an effective approach needs to integrate various aspects, including legal, social, psychological, and organizational. Additionally, collaborative governance should be expanded to increase the effectiveness of interventions. In designing comprehensive policies, it is important to integrate perspectives from different disciplines and involve supporters while paying attention to accountability and the deep psychological impact to create a safe environment and significantly reduce supporter violence.

Efeito da associação da metodologia da problematização com a demonstração prática no conhecimento de estudantes de enfermagem sobre hipodermóclise
Authors:   , Buonicontro Edimara Aparecida
Published: August 2024

A hipodermóclise é uma técnica para infusão de soluções pela via subcutânea pouco utilizada na prática clínica devido à falta de conhecimento dos enfermeiros. Assim, esse estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito da associação da metodologia da problematização com a demonstração prática no conhecimento de estudantes de enfermagem sobre hipodermóclise. Trata-se de um estudo quase-experimental, do tipo antes e depois, conduzido em uma instituição pública de ensino superior. Participaram do estudo 20 estudantes de Enfermagem, matriculados no último ano do curso de graduação. Foram realizadas duas intervenções educativas: a primeira baseada na metodologia da problematização e a segunda utilizando a demonstração prática da técnica de punção e manejo da hipodermóclise. O conhecimento dos estudantes sobre hipodermóclise foi mensurado antes do início das intervenções (pré-teste) e após o encerramento da demonstração prática (pós-teste). O efeito das intervenções educativas sobre o desempenho dos estudantes foi avaliado pelo teste de McNemar a partir do número de acertos por questão, comparando-se as respostas obtidas no pré e pós-teste. Além do estudo de intervenção foram constuídos dois produtos técnicos: um workshop teórico-prático e uma cartilha sobre hipodermóclise. Participaram do estudo 20 estudantes. Verificou-se que das 12 questões avaliadas a respeito do conhecimento dos estudantes sobre a hipodermóclise, 10 (83,3%) apresentaram aumento de acertos após as intervenções educativas. A pontuação média na autoavaliação dos estudantes sobre a capacidade de explicar o procedimento (0,9 versus 7,7 pontos) e executar a técnica (2,1 versus 8,1) foi significativamente maior após as intervenções (p < 0,01). Evidenciou-se que existem fragilidades no processo de formação dos estudantes de Enfermagem sobre a hipodermóclise e que a associação da metodologia da problematização com a demonstração prática apresentou efeitos positivos no conhecimento dos estudantes.

he 2014 World Health Organization classification identifies ovarian seromucinous tumors as one of the six categories of epithelial ovarian tumors. Ovarian seromucinous tumors encompass adenomas, atypical proliferating (borderline) tumors, and invasive carcinomas. These tumors are exceedingly rare, with benign instances accounting for a mere 1% and 25% of borderline cases among all atypical proliferating tumors. The rarity of seromucinous cancer means its prevalence has not been thoroughly investigated, which has resulted in this group of tumors remaining incompletely researched.
