Published: November 2024

The healthcare landscape has transformed significantly in recent decades, propelled by technological advancements and evolving treatment methodologies. This evolution has improved patient care and introduced complexities in medical malpractice. This research aimed to explore the evolving landscape of medical malpractice in light of technological advancements such as artificial intelligence (AI) and telemedicine. Specifically, the study aims to analyze the gap between traditional legal standards of medical malpractice and the practical realities healthcare providers face in a rapidly changing environment. The gap is most evident when applying static legal definitions to an ever-changing healthcare environment.  This study employs a qualitative research method using a systematic literature review (SLR) to analyze the relationship between legal frameworks and technological developments influencing medical malpractice claims over the past five years (2018-2023).  This study found a pressing need for legal reforms to accommodate emerging technologies such as telemedicine and artificial intelligence (AI), which challenge conventional definitions of liability and standards of care. The study emphasizes the importance of adapting legal frameworks to ensure patient safety while protecting healthcare providers from undue liability. This study highlights medical malpractice law's dynamic and evolving nature in response to technological advancements and changing healthcare practices. Staying informed about these evolving legal standards is essential for healthcare providers' risk management and compliance. Policymakers must prioritize the development of supportive legal frameworks that protect patient rights while providing healthcare providers with the clarity needed to navigate this complex landscape effectively.

Authors: Alfian RM , Amalia Anindini Winda , Handayani Dwi Ratna Sari , Subu Muhammad Arsyad , Waluyo Imam
Published: November 2024

Manual manipulative practices (MMPs), such as chiropractic spinal manipulation, osteopathic treatment, and Tui Na massage, are famous for improving musculoskeletal function but carry risks ranging from minor to severe side effects. Chiropractic therapy generally has minimal adverse effects, while Tui Na is less commonly used. A literature review on patient safety in MMPs involves evaluating studies, synthesizing findings, and identifying themes. While spinal manipulation can be beneficial, it may cause side effects like muscle soreness and headache and, in rare cases, severe complications like stroke. Reporting of adverse events has improved but still does not meet guidelines. Strategies to minimize risks include informed consent, thorough patient history, and adherence to clinical guidelines. These practices can enhance patient care and public health when applied with safety considerations.

Published: November 2024

Globalisation and advancements in information technology have brought about rapid developments in the financial sector, including electronic money that facilitates cashless transactions. One of the latest innovations is SPayLater, an instalment service from Shopee that allows users to make purchases by paying later. Especially among Generation Z students, SPayLater has become a popular choice thanks to its ease of managing monthly budgets with fixed payments. This study adopts an associative approach to explore the impact of financial literacy and technology acceptance model (TAM) on interest in using SPayLater. A survey was conducted among 150 respondents using Google shapes, and the records were analysed using SPSS 25. The results of the t-data analysis show that financial literacy does not have a significant influence on users' interest in using SPayLater, while the variables of the technology acceptance model significantly influence such interest. These findings provide important insights into the factors that drive interest in digital instalment services among university students

Published: November 2024

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports the global impact of chronic conditions as profound, associated with neuropsychiatric comorbidities, and thus affecting Quality of Life (QoL). This study assessed neuropsychiatric morbidity and the association with QoL among older adults with chronic conditions at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. A comparative cross-sectional analytic design was utilised to recruit 327 older adults aged 60 years and above for six months, then proportionally distributed into four groups. The Community Screening Instrument for Dementia (CSID), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-30) and WHO Quality-of-Life for the Old (WHOQOL-OLD) were administered. Data was analysed using the SPSS version 27.0. Neuropsychiatric morbidity was associated with lower QoL in all four groups. In HTN, QoL was significantly lower in one domain, AUT (t=3.95, p<0.001). For DM only, in two, AUT (t=4.35, p<0.001) and DAD (t=6.65, p<0.001). For Arthritis only, in three, SAB (t=6.92, p<0.001), AUT (t=11.46, p<0.001), and PPF (t=4.02, p<0.001). In HTN+DM, in two, SAB (t=5.37, p<0.001) and AUT (t=2.51, p=0.02). This study reported a low QoL in the presence of neuropsychiatric morbidity. The implication of this is the need to be proactive in screening older adults with these physical health conditions for neuropsychiatric morbidity. Their early detection will facilitate timely intervention, which in turn improves the QoL of older adults with chronic medical conditions.

Authors: Nashrin Dr. Shamima
Published: November 2024

Buddhist heritage or historical place refers to the place where the works left by the famous ‘Thera-Therī’ or monks and nuns and the Buddhist kings-mahārājās of the past, great or renowned Mahāpurusha, are presented. Some of these feats have survived, and some have been lost. What was lost was later rediscovered by historians. The Buddhist tradition encompasses numerous historical sites, all of which hold significant importance. In the history of Buddhism, the famous historical places known as ‘Ashtamahātīrthasthāna’ have survived as witnesses of the ancient Buddhist tradition. Likewise, ‘Sāṃkāshya’ is one of the ‘Ashtamahātīrthasthāna’ and one of the ancient Buddhist traditions. The name of this ‘Sāṃkāshya’ is mentioned in Tipiṭaka, or Buddhist history, as well as in the Ramayana-Mahabharata and other ancient texts. People still carry its history and tradition with pride. ‘Saṃkassa’ is a village in the Farukkabad district of Uttar Pradesh. Currently, its name is ‘Saṃkisha-Basantpur’. This ‘Sāṃkāshya’ is one of the most glorious places among the memorials of Lord Buddha and Dhamma. India is a rich land with diversity of culture, language, religion, and topography, and this ‘Sāṃkāshya Nagar’ of India has earned a prominent place as the best destination in the world.

Authors: Begum Dr. Salma , Moniruzzaman
Published: November 2024

Women’s empowerment is a key factor in achieving sustainable economic and social development. As a result, promoting entrepreneurship and self-employment through innovation and multidimensional training in our country is necessary. This study aimed to determine the factors that motivate women to become entrepreneurs, the types of institutional barriers that hinder women’s entrepreneurship in the handicrafts business and to identify how women’s entrepreneurship supports achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study was conducted in Delduar Upazila under the Tangail District of Bangladesh. The participants of the study were women entrepreneurs who are directly involved with handicraft small enterprises business. For the study, the total sample size was 105. Quantitative data was gathered with the help of an interview based on a structured questionnaire. Moreover, for qualitative data, case studies, FDG and KII were conducted based on a checklist of key questions. It has been found that the main causes of becoming an entrepreneur are social status, the economic situation of the family, the opinion of the husband, own wishes etc. The study has identified some major challenges that women entrepreneurs face such as fewer opportunities for training for women entrepreneurs, the high interest rate for receiving new loans from banks and NGOs, poverty, local people’s attitudes towards female participation in business, fewer marketing opportunities, lack of knowledge to get finance, lack of credit, lower social status, religious superstitions, etc. So, the government needs to take a more comprehensive policy decision to promote women entrepreneurs by providing better credit facilities, ensuring marketing opportunities, and good working conditions. Additionally, financial institutions should provide more loans with easy terms and conditions for female entrepreneurs to run smaller enterprises.
Debates in Sociology
Authors: Khan Dr. Monirul Islam
Published: November 2024

This paper focuses on the theoretical debates in sociology that acted as the driving force in its course of development drawing heavily from the thinking of Alvin Gouldner. Revolutionary transformation in the French society in late eighteenth century and the subsequent social disorder created the background of the development of positivism by Comte with the advocacy of restoring social order. Intermingling of different theories also took place as in the case of positivism furnishing the context for the emergence of structural functionalism. Interpretative sociology brought new dimension to the understanding of social phenomena by highlighting the perspective of the actors instead of the observer. In this vein it also discusses the emergence of intersubjectivity, ethnomethodology and related theoretical views. For obvious reason the paper deals elaborately with the perspective of Marxism. It underlines that structural functionalism presents society as an interwoven equilibrium while Marxism views the same as a conflicting whole with the effect of domination by the ruling class. This paper elaborates on the basic tenets of historical materialism as couched in Marxism. However, Marxist prognosis faltered in advanced capitalist countries of the Western hemisphere calling for new theoretical insight. Within Marxism it happened by examining the causal background of the continuation of capitalist countries, elaborated in this paper in the section on structural Marxism. The premise of sociology also necessitated the emergence of Durkheim and Weber who argued for different perspectives for the understanding of social order. The contributions of system theory and interactionism are duly acknowledged in this paper to weave a comprehensive intellectual tapestry being linked with debates and argumentation. The parallelism of system and individual brought dualism in sociological theory and Anthony Giddens took up attempt to draw a conflation between the two, unfolding a new dimension in the debate ridden sociological theories. The paper concluded with the discussion of Derrida and Lyotard to unfold the novel approach of post-modernism in challenging the claim of universality of modern theories.

Authors: Mou Saraf Afra , Uddin Dr. A.K.M. Jamal
Published: November 2024

The massive economic change throughout the world is highly connected to the development of neoliberalism in society since the late twentieth century. Neoliberalism mainly deals with a political economic approach involving privatized market economy, promoting free-market and consumerism, facilitating microcredit, entrepreneurial trend and so on. Bangladesh, like many other developing countries, has a lot to do with her predominant agriculture-based economy. The state has been gradually moving toward the global trend of neoliberalism through new economic and policy formations. In between these, is the rural economy still distinct? Or are they positively or negatively impacted by the neoliberal formations? The present study aims to answer these questions. The study is conducted on Palsa village under Chapainawabanj district in Banladesh. Mixed method combining both of the qualitative and the quantitative approaches is applied here that have explored the findings from the triangulation of survey, FGDs and KIIs. In the survey work, 400 respondents were interviewed that has covered almost all of the households of the Palsa village. The findings of the study demonstrate diverse forms of neoliberal impact in Palsa including changes in the agricultural sector, growing culture of consumerism, expanding microloan programs leading to the increasing role of women in society and introducing the non-agricultural sectors, entrepreneurial initiatives and greater use of newer and advanced technologies in both of agricultural and non-agricultural sectors. In addition, it also stresses on the emerging vulnerable and victim groups and what they go through in this taking-off of the neoliberal process. The study concludes that proper policy implementation is required to limit the backlashes of neoliberalism and to widen the benefits of it in society.

En condiciones controladas se evalúo el metam sodio (Vapam® 51 GE-AMVAC) en el control de cuatro aislamientos de Ralstonia solanacearum (Filotipo II, Secuevar 6), provenientes de fincas comerciales de banano (Musa AAA) en Costa Rica con presencia de Moko. Tubos de ensayo se llenaron con suelo estéril, se inocularon con 500 µL de cada aislamiento a una concentración de 1 x 109 UFC mL -1 y se incubaron por 96 horas a 27°C en oscuridad. Según el tratamiento, a cada tubo se le aplicó una solución de metam sodio a 3000, 5000, 7000 o 10000 mg L-1 más un testigo sin inocular y otro inoculado, se incubaron por 8 días a 27°C en oscuridad. Seis tratamientos con 8 repeticiones se evaluaron en un diseño experimental completamente al azar. Diluciones seriadas, del suelo contenido en los tubos se sembraron en medio de cultivo TZC y se incubaron por 5 días a 27°C en oscuridad. Los resultados mostraron que el metam sodio controló la bacteria a todas las concentraciones evaluadas, inhibiendo el 100% del crecimiento de la bacteria, indistintamente del aislamiento evaluado. En condiciones de campo se sugiere continuar con lo propuesto por la Comisión Nacional de Enfermedades en las Musáceas de Costa Rica de 5000 mg L-1 metam sodio®.

Published: November 2024

En un diseño completamente al azar, se determinó el efecto de Radopholus similis sobre la fotosíntesis de las hojas de banano (Musa AAA cv. Grande Naine). Plantas in vitro se sembraron en macetas de 1,8 L de volumen que contenían suelo bananero (esterilizado o sin esterilizar). Se evaluaron tres tratamientos, dos en suelo esterilizado, uno fue inoculado con 2000 (2078 ± 63) R. similis por maceta, 21 días después de la siembra, y el otro no, y otro tratamiento en suelo no esterilizado y sin inoculación. Antes de la inoculación, se encontró una reducción (P= 0,0072) del 33% en la tasa de asimilación neta acumulada a lo largo de la secuencia de puntos de luz (0-2200 µmol m-2 s -1) en las plantas cultivadas en suelo bananero sin esterilizar, que resultaron infectadas con R. similis residual en el suelo. La curva de la tasa de asimilación neta a los 4 (P< 0,0001), 11 (P= 0,0340) y 25 (P= 0,0127) días después de la inoculación, fue mayor en las plantas libres de nematodos. La infección o parasitismo de las raíces del banano por R. similis, independientemente de si hay síntomas evidentes en raíces y follaje, consistentemente reduce su fotosíntesis, lo que a largo del ciclo reducirá el rendimiento del cultivo.

Una de las preocupaciones del mundo bananero y platanero, así como de su comercio, es siempre el impacto de las principales enfermedades y plagas. En primer lugar, para el continente americano, es la extensión de la grave enfermedad del hongo Fusarium – FOC-R4T. Es necesario destacar la movilización general en el continente para limitar la expansión y el impacto de la grave enfermedad del hongo Fusarium – FOC-R4T con algunas orientaciones en la investigación en variedades tolerantes de Cavendish, en variedades resistentes (incluyendo la edición del genoma) de tipo ‘Cavendish’ y otras variedades frutas y tipo plátano, en el manejo biológico y bioquímico del suelo, y en la comunidad microbiana como ‘bioprotección’, o en el aumento de la biodiversidad (barbecho, rotación y asociaciones de cultivo, plantas ‘de servicios’).
The Romanian versus Moldovan language polemic as reflected in civil society and political debates in the Republic of Moldova’s press
Authors: Șipoș Sorin , Șarov Igor , Eremia Ion
Published: November 2024

This investigation will present an examination of the issue regarding civil society debates on the issue of the Romanian language versus the Moldovan language" in the Republic of Moldova in the years 1991-2023. The aim pursued is to analyze the place and role of civil society in the Republic of Moldova in linguistic debates in the context of state consolidation and European integration trends. The problem of the "Moldovan language" as a language close to, but distinct from the Romanian language has its origins as far back as the 19th century and was accentuated in the conditions when Bessarabia was annexed to the Russian Empire, and Moldova and Wallachia united in 1859 and formed a new state, later called Romania. Tsarism saw in this a danger for its dominance in Bessarabia, and efforts begin to be made to "prove" the existence of the "Moldovan language" and the "Moldovan people". This tendency was amplified during Soviet power, initially in the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Autonomous Republic, then in the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic. The democratization of society in the USSR from the mid-80s of the last century led to the splitting of society: one part took scientific positions and recognized the identity of the Romanian language and the "Moldovan language", the other part, primarily Russian speakers, but not only that, they continued the propagation of the concept of "Moldovan language", a situation that continues up to the present time, despite the legislation recently adopted by the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova. The working hypothesis is that civil society in the Republic of Moldova is politicized on the linguistic issue and continues to remain divided: most recognize the existence of only one language, the Romanian language. At the same time, Russian speakers continue to propagate the concept of "Moldovan language", being supported by external forces from Moscow, which further proves the interference/influence of the Russian Federation on the Russian-speaking society of the Republic of Moldova. This state of affairs requires considerable efforts in order to unify the opinion of civil society on the excessively politicized linguistic issue, a consequence of an imperial policy actively promoted for a long time. From a methodological perspective, the following levels of analysis are proposed: 1. Short scientific excursion into the history of the problem regarding the genesis of the concept of "Moldovan language". 2. Civil society and the concept of the Romanian language - "Moldovan language" at the end of the 80s-early 90s of the 20th century. 3. The place and role of civil society in the process of solving the "linguistic conflict" in the Republic of Moldova at the current stage.

Authors: Weng Yan , Chen Zhijun , Weng Shengbo , Yin Zuqin
Published: November 2024

This study aims to design an epidemic prevention and control bracelet system that integrates convolutional neural network (CNN). This system can collect and process the user’s physiological index data in real time, especially in the remote physical education scene, and provide learners with immediate physiological index feedback and personalized adaptive training suggestions through accurate human action recognition (HAR) technology. One-dimensional acceleration signal is converted into two-dimensional image, and CNN’s powerful feature extraction and classification ability is used to effectively solve the problem that manual feature extraction is complex and nonlinear features are difficult to capture. By considering the joint action trajectory in the time window, a dynamic Recurrence Plot (RP) is constructed to capture the dynamic changes among joints. To input recursive graph data into CNN, it needs to be converted into image form. In the task of HAR, CNN can automatically learn useful features from images without manually designing features. It can not only effectively extract features from images, but also be directly used in classification tasks. Experimental results show that compared with other algorithms, the proposed RP + CNN model has the best performance in action recognition, with an accuracy of 96.89% and a F1 value of 86.76%. RP captures the dynamic patterns and periodic behaviors in time series by visualizing the repeated appearance of system states over time. The RP + CNN model is used to extract and classify human action features, which significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of HAR. This innovative method not only simplifies the complex process of traditional manual feature extraction, but also enhances the system’s ability to identify nonlinear and complex action patterns, which provides strong technical support for remote physical education.

The relevance of the research concerns the implementation of the mechanism for transforming the competitive potential of tourism industry entities in the post-war period to ensure market balance, stability, and competitiveness. Martial law conditions limit the capacities of the industry subjects to implement the concept of competitiveness transformation, which can lead to an imbalance in the tourism services market due to the lack of effective management. The purpose of the study was to develop a mechanism for transforming the competitive potential of tourism industry entities. The study employed both general scientific and special methods of research: methods of analysis and synthesis, method of generalisation, methods of analysis of facts, methods of system-functional approach, and method of systematisation. The essence of the transformation mechanism, presented in three blocks, is substantiated. The basis of the 1st block is a specification of the concept formation according to various scenarios, determination of goals, and institutionalisation. The purpose of the 2nd block is to determine the phases (turbulence, fluctuation, bifurcation, deformation, and transformation) of the transformation by the criteria (sustainability, safety, and competitiveness). The determinant feature of the 3rd block is the tools and means of implementing the transformation mechanism (support systems, development strategy, methods of implementation). The study highlights a differentiated approach to the selection of transformation goals. The institutionalisation in this study is interpreted as a set of institutes and institutions, owing to which transformative processes can ensure the sustainability, safety, and competitiveness of the tourism industry. The legal, organisational, information, and marketing subsystems, which act as supporting subsystems, are analysed. The study focuses on such tools for the implementation of the transformation mechanism as marketing (ensuring tourists’ satisfaction with the quality of tourist services), fiscal policy (regulation of costs and income), and reproduction (creation of new competitive advantages, restoration of tourist potential). The study elucidates the role of methods of implementing the mechanism for transforming the competitive potential of tourism industry subjects (planning, forecasting, and pricing), different intensities of influence, features of their manifestation, and time/periods of external and internal factors influence. The proposed mechanism is of great practical importance. The application of a differentiated approach to transformation processes will help to balance demand and supply in the market of tourist services

Cette réflexion établit le parallélisme entre la paix et la stabilité dans le développement socioéconomique en République du Congo. La paix et la stabilité politique sont présentées, ici comme deux éléments importants dans la promotion du développement socioéconomique de l’individu et de la société. La stabilité politique est la clé du progrès et du développement car elle affecte tous les aspects liés à la sécurité, au développement économique et social d’une communauté. L’impact de la stabilité politique se répercute sur la sécurité en RDC qui a traversé des périodes politiquement instables. En effet, cette dernière a connu et continue à connaître des troubles dans certains coins de la république. Cette situation déplorable apporte des changements au niveau sécuritaire, du fait que l’insécurité est le résultat inévitable de l’instabilité politique. L’homme étant de nature politique, il cherche à vivre dans une société humaine où la sécurité, la stabilité et l‘harmonie prévalent sur les conflits, les crises et les guerres. Mots-clés : stabilité politique, développement socioéconomique, RDC, paix.
Cross-Border Student Mobility and Improvements in the Philippine Tertiary Education Program Relevance and Learning Outcomes

Published: November 2024

Mainly using qualitative data, this paper analyzes whether and how cross-border student mobility contributes to enhanced Philippine tertiary education programs. The paper recognizes that the intake of international students results from cross-border and home-based internationalization initiatives that mutually reinforce the improvement of programs and learning outcomes. The intake of international students further enhances home-based internationalization initiatives, thus creating a virtuous cycle of effective initiatives, relevant educational products, and increased foreign student enrollment. However, this virtuous cycle has yet to materialize in the country due to its weak presence in the international student market. Currently, the country’s inbound students are limited to specific nationalities, fewer than those in other destination countries, and are largely facilitated by educational agencies. While the ultimate objective is to improve higher education programs and learning outcomes for the benefit of Filipino learners, a steadily increasing market share of international students seeking the country for its high-quality instruction and relevant fields of interest would validate that the country’s internationalization efforts have paid off. To realize this, the paper forwards recommendations within the broader context of sustaining a higher education institution ecosystem that is responsive to local and international standards.
The role of artificial intelligence in disaster recovery

Published: November 2024

In an era marked by the increasing frequency of major natural and manmade disasters, the imperative for effective disaster recovery planning and response has never been more pronounced. As communities grapple with the aftermath of hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, pandemics and other crises and emergencies, the integration of innovation technologies has emerged as a beacon of hope for more resilient and efficient recovery efforts. Standing at the forefront of this technological revolution is artificial intelligence (AI) — a transformative force with the potential to revolutionise every facet of disaster recovery. While the benefits are substantial, challenges in AI implementation are evident. These challenges underscore the need for continuous research and development efforts to unlock the full spectrum of AI’s potential benefits. The journey toward harnessing AI in disaster recovery is dynamic, requiring ongoing innovation to overcome existing limitations. Navigating the evolving systems of AI in disaster recovery planning, the amalgamation of benefits, challenges and ongoing evolution underscores the pivotal role that AI plays in shaping the future of resilient disaster response. This paper identifies where AI can play the most significant positive role for disaster recovery.
A song of water and fire: Key lessons from Hurricane Fiona and Nova Scotia wildfires
Authors: Aziz Emad
Published: November 2024

The Province of Nova Scotia has a broad range of responsibilities during provincial emergencies. Hurricane Fiona had significant impacts on citizens and government services for a considerable time due to widespread telecommunication and power outages. The spring wildfires caused widespread destruction, presented coordination and logistical problems, and resulted in mental health impacts for affected communities and responders. This paper describes the challenges faced by provincial emergency management and business continuity response teams: 1) mental health matters — the next evolution in business continuity requires building confidence in people executing the plan under stressful and uncertain conditions for extended periods; 2) senior leadership support is vital to balance business continuity priorities with ongoing operational business demands; and 3) the best plans are as effective as the relationships that make them work. The importance and value of individual and team relationships during planning, preparedness and response, therefore, cannot be underestimated.
