The Role of Birds in Salmonellosis
Authors: Tufail Amina , Ashfaq Yusra
Published: April 2024

The main research question explores the role of birds in Salmonella transmission dynamics, highlighting the zoonotic potential for disease spread from birds to humans. Investigating bird salmonellosis uncovers a complex interaction of factors, including birds’ feeding habits and ecological behaviors, that facilitate disease dissemination. Utilizing epidemiological evidence, genomic analysis, and case studies, the research elucidates how salmonellosis is transmitted among birds and to humans. Significant findings identify garden birds as major Salmonella reservoirs, reveal genetic similarities between avian and human Salmonella strains, and underscore the role of environmental contamination. Notably, species like the Eurasian siskin and greenfinch are significant carriers, with bird-feeding practices and feeder congregations accelerating transmission. The research emphasizes a comprehensive management approach to salmonellosis, involving public education, wildlife management, and strategic interventions to reduce risks. It calls for improved hygiene practices in human-bird interaction zones and targeted bird population surveillance for Salmonella. Understanding birds’ role in salmonellosis epidemiology is vital for developing effective public health strategies, enhancing food safety, and wildlife conservation, and underscoring the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health in tackling zoonotic diseases.
Network Covert Channels
Authors: Elsadig Muawia
Published: April 2024

With the rapid advancement of communication and computer network technologies, covert channels are now more secure, quicker to set up, harder to detect, and easier to design than ever before. By breaking a system security policy, a covert channel can be utilized to leak confidential communications. Undoubtedly, one of the most difficult challenges is still detecting such harmful, unobservable, and covert dangers. Due to the fact that this danger takes advantage of techniques not intended for communication, it is invisible to conventional security solutions. This chapter offers a concise overview of covert channel concept, techniques, classifications, and countermeasures, emphasizing how new technologies are vulnerable to being exploited for initiation of different covert channels and how they offer a rich environment for developing effective but challenging covert channel attacks. It gives a comprehensive review of common covert channel countermeasures with more focus on machine learning detection techniques. Although some research studies have revealed beneficial uses of covert channel, which is natural given that many approaches have a double-edged sword impact, this chapter focuses on covert channels as a security threat that compromise our data and networks.

Authors: Alderink Gordon , Harro Cathy , Hickox Lauren , W. Zeitler David , Kilvington Dorothy , Prevost Rebecca , Pryson Paige
Published: April 2024

Parkinson’s disease (PD), a prevalent neurodegenerative condition, is associated with fall-related injuries. Falls often occur during mobility tasks such as turning while walking. There is a paucity of research on the biomechanical etiology of falls, specifically, the control of dynamic balance during turns. The purpose of this study was to analyze dynamic stability, as measured by the margin of stability (MOS), during the gait cycle preceding a 90-degree turn during walking in persons with PD. Thirteen individuals with mild to moderate idiopathic PD and 10 healthy matched controls (CON) participated. Instrumented gait analysis was conducted during walking while performing 90-degree turns using the Plug-in Gait model and Vicon Nexus motion capture software. MOS variables at first double support, midstance, and second double support of the gait cycle preceding the turn were examined. The MOS variables and spatiotemporal gait parameters were compared between PD and CON using a multilevel mixed model ANOVA; post hoc analyses were conducted using two-sample t-tests. There were no differences in spatiotemporal gait parameters between groups. The PD group demonstrated significantly greater medio-lateral (M/L) MOS compared to CON for most variables. The changes seen in the M/L MOS in the PD group may reflect compensatory changes to increase dynamic stability during the gait cycle preceding a turn.
Interpretation of High-Resolution Remote Sensing Data for Plio-Pleistocene Tectonic Structures Studies in the Trindade Island Volcanic Building, South Atlantic Ocean, Brazil
Authors: Motoki Kenji , Campos Thomas , Santos Anderson , Heilbron Monica , Barão Leonardo , Sichel Susanna , Ferrari André , Fonseca Estefan , Szatmari Peter
Published: April 2024

Trindade Island (20°31′0’ S and 29°19′0 W) is a large alkaline volcanic edifice and is the only emerging part of the Vitória-Trindade ridge, 1140 km from the Brazilian offshore, whose summit is around 600 meters high. The lineament orientation pattern of Plio-Pleistocene dykes and fracture swarms identified by high-resolution remote sensing allowed identifying the paleo-stresses that acted on Trindade Island. Our research suggests that Trindade Island suffered two distinct tectonic events between 3.6 Ma and 0.25 Ma: the first event is related to the island formation and shows a NW-SE (compressional) and NE-SW (extensional) stress orientation, while the second event shows different stress, namely ENE-WSW (compressional) and NNW-SSE (extensional). These events may also be associated with the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean, during movement and torsion of the South American Plate in the NE-SW direction, evidencing compression toward ENE or due to the influence of the Trindade mantle plume on the South American Plate which generated intraplate stress.

Authors: Constantin Lipan Laurentiu , Dimitriu Sorin , Alexandru Florea George
Published: April 2024

Romania is among the European countries that have rich geothermal water resources. Unfortunately, these resources are of medium and low enthalpy, which makes their uses only direct, for space heating, spa treatments, greenhouse heating and other applications in agriculture and fish farming. However, recent regulations regarding the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel consumption have led to increased research into the possibility of using these low-enthalpy resources for electricity production using ORC technology. The authors present a case study regarding the generation of electricity through ORC technology, using geothermal water with a temperature of 75°C from a geothermal reservoir located in the north of Bucharest, in the perimeter of Moara Vlăsiei locality. The performance of the installation is studied in relation to the working agents that may be used and the cooling medium available. The optimal operating conditions, for which the maximum electrical power is obtained, are also determined. The study is timely, considering the metropolitan projects to realize in the area a heating system using geothermal water and which can have high energy efficiency through its smart combination with electricity production.

Priming the Future: Navigating Ethical Transformations in Negotiation Landscapes
Authors: Weinmann Nina , Voeth Markus
Published: April 2024

As the landscape of negotiation ethics continues to evolve, it reflects significant shifts in societal attitudes and organizational priorities. A mere decade ago, the prevailing sentiment toward the legitimacy of unethical negotiation tactics was more lenient, with a common acceptance of occasional lies and deceptions as commonplace. However, the contemporary perspective on this matter is notably more nuanced. As companies increasingly embrace ethical considerations through compliance and corporate social responsibility, the scrutiny of negotiation tactics for their ethical correctness has intensified. To address this societal and, as a consequence, organizational change, our study presents the concept of priming as a strategic tool for promoting ethical conduct in organizational practice. By strategically activating memory content related to ethics, the research seeks to enhance ethical awareness in business negotiations. Through a systematic literature review, the study explores the suitability of different forms of priming in various negotiation contexts and examines practical ways of priming for ethical negotiation behavior. The findings suggest that ethics-based priming in negotiations holds promise for fostering fairness and honesty, presenting viable pathways for integration into negotiation practices.
Cizí jazyk jako cesta k porozumění
Authors: Čechová Dominika
Published: April 2024

Práce s cizojazyčnými páry v psychoterapii je specifický proces, který vyžaduje vysokou míru citlivosti a porozumění kulturním a jazykovým rozdílům. Významným faktorem v této práci je komunikace v třetím jazyce, která může být klíčovým nástrojem pro navození porozumění mezi partnery. Fakt, že každý z páru (a často i terapeut) pochází z jiné kultury a mluví jiným jazykem, amplifikuje individuální, genderové, rodinné, kulturní a jiné jinakosti v páru, které mohou být v jednojazyčných terapiích zprvu přehlíženy. Práce s cizojazyčnými páry odkrývá „slepou skvrnu” terapeutického zorného pole a může se stát inspirací i pro odborníky, kteří vedou terapie jednojazyčné.
Párová terapie a deprese
Authors: Neusar Aleš
Published: April 2024

Článek se zabývá párovou terapií u deprese. První část textu se věnuje vlivu vztahů na depresi. Silně problémové partnerské vztahy mohou být kauzálním faktorem pro vznik deprese a také pro její chronifikaci. Druhá část popisuje kontext, kdy může být párová terapie u deprese výhodná, či dokonce výhodnější než individuální psychoterapie. Jde zejména o situace, kdy je deprese propojena s negativní vztahovou dynamikou a vzájemnou interakcí mezi partnery, což je poměrně častý jev. Párová terapie může být nicméně užitečná i v dobrých partnerstvích. Zmíněny jsou také možná rizika či kontraindikace párové terapie u deprese (např. když se nepodaří prolomit diskurz, že jde „pouze o depresi“). Třetí část se věnuje samotné párové terapii deprese primárně z pohledu narativní psychoterapie. V celém textu autor cituje nejen díla jiných autorů, ale také své zkušenosti s páry, kde se vyskytla deprese, a také zkušenosti jiných odborníků, se kterými vedl rozhovory.
Odvaha v psychoterapii
Authors: Kryl Michal
Published: April 2024

Nacházíme se v přelomové epoše. Demokratický svět prochází těžkou řadou zkoušek své odolnosti s nemalým rizikem kapitulace celého systému liberální demokracie. V tomto kontextu se stav naší společnosti rozdělené na tábory nevraživé k sobě navzájem (jak zaznívá ve slovech profesora Praška v Úvodu k naší konferenci) ukazuje nejen v nelichotivém světle, ale vyvolává i mrazení stran dalšího vývoje. Prof. T. Halík nabádá v jednom svém článku demokratickou civilizaci (tedy naši zemi nevyjímaje), ke statečnosti a morální síle, a v případě potřeby i k ochotě ke krajní sebeoběti. O to směšněji v kontrastu s tím působí zbabělé a nemužné chování některých našich politických figur a figurek v nekonečném seriálu jejich trapných kauz, morálních pochybení i trestných činů. Ano, naše doba skutečně potřebuje nadějnou vizi, odolnost a houževnatost, podporu spolupráce, propojenosti a humanistické orientace. Avšak nelze si je představit bez sepětí s jedním klíčovým projevem, a totiž s odvahou. Právě ta totiž, stejně jako ve světě národů a celých populací, je významným prvkem procesu změn odehrávajícího se jak mezi aktéry mezinárodního konfliktu, tak i v procesu zvaném psychoterapie. Čím jiným než s odvahou k sebeodhalení a odkrytí svého příběhu přichází náš pacient, který se musel často dlouze odhodlávat k telefonátu, či e-mailu na naši adresu, překonat stigma našich oborů. Musí už v úvodu terapie prokázat odvahu k důvěře v neznámého člověka, s možností vzniku stejně tak unikátního bezpečného vztahu, jako k zopakování zklamání a posílení nedůvěry. Náš pacient se neobejde bez odvahy k novému náhledu na svůj způsob života a vztahů, na svou podstatu, při zřejmých rizicích jako je vnitřní otřes v dosavadní jistoty s pocity chaosu a prázdnoty. Společnou základnou je pak odvaha k překonávání negativních emocí, zejména strachu a úzkosti ve všech variantách nácviku behaviorálních expozic a kognitivních postupů. Stejně tak nelze bez odvahy otevírat těžká a ohrožující témata v tzv. hlubinných formách terapie. A což teprve odvaha ke změnám v životě, v nové způsoby zacházení se vztahy, jejich postupné přelaďování s nepříjemným strachem v zádech – z rizika jejich ztráty. Odvahy je však zapotřebí i na naší straně – na straně terapeutů. K prodlévání s pacientem v jeho těžkých chvílích, v odvaze otevírat s ním témata, jež nás osobně zasahují, v odvaze ptát se na tématiku smrti a konečnosti života…V odvaze nepracovat s pacienty v období vlastní hluboké osobní krize, v odvaze najít si supervizora, v odvaze vstoupit do vlastní psychoterapie, nazrál-li k tomu čas.

THE FUTURE OF THE PAST AT THE URBAN LEVEL: ACHIEVING URBAN HEALTH AND WELL-BEING WITH ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE
Authors:   Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, LOMBARDINI N.
Published: April 2024

The definition of a city, given by the Italian Treccani Encyclopedia, is: “Town of considerable extension, with buildings arranged more or less regularly, in such a way as to form roads of easy transit, paved, equipped with public services and whatever else is necessary to offer favourable conditions for social life (the concept of the city is linked to that of a multiplicity of functions of various origins and nature, economic, social, cultural, religious, administrative, health, etc., gathered in one place and for this reason is not conditioned by the number of inhabitants)”. The city is, therefore, defined in relation to its possibility to promote social life. In these terms, consequently, the research carried out by urban planning can focuses on public health, the exploitation and use of the territory as a resource (meaning the territory in all its natural and man–made dimensions), focuses on the interest of man, as an individual and as a social being. An urban health approach considers cities as the modal form of human living and recognizes that such a commonly felt exposure must, by definition, influence much of what we do and how we do it. The future of Cultural Heritage is the main topic of the documents, rules and charters in charge to ensure its conservation. Cultural Heritage is a locution related to the natural or anthropogenic assets that are necessary to conserve and safeguard a group's identity. Nowadays, the focus of the activities related to the safeguarding of Cultural Heritage has a wider horizon, including, also the well-being of a single individual and of a group. Well-being means that people must find in the common good, which cultural heritage is, the object and the cause of wellness while living in a community or alone. The concept of a common good must be understood and linked to the possibility of increasing the well-being of everyone for whom it is necessary to invest part of the common and social resources. In order to reach these arguments, the paper aims to analyse the restoration and the conservation in relationship not only with the need to transfer to the future generation the traces of the past as an imperative condition, but also assuming the social, and economic value of assets that are common goods able to improve the well-being of the citizens.

The main goal of this research is to explore the opportunities and challenges faced in implementing a local development plan in Enewari town, located in the North Shewa region of the Amhara Region, Ethiopia. To achieve this goal, we used a combination of descriptive and explanatory research methods. The author collected data from both primary and secondary sources. The author distributed questionnaires, consisting of both open-ended and closed-ended questions, to 210 respondents chosen through random and purposive sampling methods. Then, we analyzed the gathered data using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Our findings revealed several important points about the town's development. Enewari town has valuable resources that could support its growth and the creation of a detailed project plan for its future. However, we also identified significant challenges. These include informal settlements, a lack of organized structures, high unemployment rates, limited public involvement, scarcity of available land, and difficulties in attracting investors. These obstacles are hindering the town's ability to implement its development plans within the specified timeframe. Overall, addressing these challenges will be crucial for Enewari town to achieve its developmental goals effectively. Furthermore, the limited availability of land presents a formidable barrier to the realization of ambitious development plans, necessitating innovative approaches to land use and allocation. Concurrently, attracting investment remains a critical imperative for unlocking the town's developmental potential, requiring concerted efforts to showcase its unique value propositions and create an enabling environment for private sector participation.

Rapid advancements and technological breakthroughs have revolutionized the spread of information and communications. The development of technology has significantly altered the transmission and storage of information. The widespread use of computers has revolutionized numerous businesses and sectors worldwide. Computers affect how employees can improve their work for every client. For example, offering their services in a way that is more accurate, efficient, and competitive when providing information. To carry out their work tasks, they may use a variety of programs or software. As a result, the manual is still the standard procedure for document recording, including the distribution of memos and communication letters to specific recipients or across offices using record books. Therefore, they might encounter challenges in the assigned personnel carrying out their duties during this process. So, the study's goal was to create a paperless communication system that would make it simple for the recording officer to find, distribute, and alert recipients—whether or not they had a cell phone. Every stage of the waterfall model was applied to the development process for the system. The respondent assessed and tested the system, and found that it met the requirements for sending outgoing and incoming memos and communication letters to the intended recipients.

Laporan auditor adalah pernyataan kompeten oleh auditor atas kecukupan data keuangan yang terkandung dalam laporan keuangan. Penerbitan prinsip audit tidak lepas pada kemungkinan terjadinya kecurangan. Perihal kecurangan memberi pencerahan bahwa peraturan dan standar akuntansi yang telah didesain secara rapi belum bisa mencegah timbulnya kecurangan akuntansi. Kecurangan artinya serangkaian perbuatan tidak masuk akal dan melawan aturan yang terencana dibuat untuk menipu. Menunda kecurangan dibutuhkan untuk menolak tokoh potensial, mempererat ruang gerak, serta terjadinya kecurangan atau paling tidak mengendalikan timbulnya kecurangan dengan membangun keadaan yang mendorong upaya pencegahan kecurangan.

Authors:   Postgraduate Student, The Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary, Ogbomoso, Abolade Gabriel Oluwaseyi
Published: April 2024

The transformational leadership approach emphasizes the leader`s ability to inspire and persuade individuals towards a shared vision, fostering a sense of commitment and empowerment within the organization. In the context of Christian missions, this leadership style is particularly relevant as it aligns with the principles of servant leadership and the mission to bring about positive change in communities. Transformational Leadership in Christian Mission Engagement involves four crucial components: idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. By inspiring and empowering individuals, leaders can foster a sense of ownership and commitment among team members, leading to increased motivation and dedication to the mission. Moreover, sustaining a transformational leadership approach requires ongoing effort and vigilance to ensure that the values and vision remain central to the mission`s activities. Therefore, the transformational leadership approach is instrumental in driving sustainable Christian mission engagement. By embodying fundamental principles such as inspiration, empowerment, and individualized support, leaders can cultivate a culture of commitment and resilience within their organizations. While challenges exist, the potential for a positive impact on mission outcomes makes transformational leadership an essential consideration for those involved in Christian missions.

The main goal of the research is to determine the effects of the selected factors (organization culture, organization learning, market orientation and innovation culture) on the innovation performance of small and medium-sized enterprises in agribusiness. The Structural Equation Modeling method was used to test the research hypotheses. The results showed that the selected factors are significant determinants of innovative performance. In addition, the relationship between organizational culture and innovation performance, as well as organizational learning and innovation performance, was found to be fully mediated, and the relationship between market orientation and innovation performance was found to be partially mediated by innovation culture. Small and medium-sized businesses should be empowered in the globalized and fiercely competitive market of today by fostering product innovation, investing in the development of human resources and technology, and broadening their market reach. These initiatives are essential to enhancing their marketing plans and successfully taking on competitors.

In this study, we quantify specific activity of 238U, 232Th, and 40K, from soils, water, and vegetables around limestone mining sites because of the dense urban settlement with high agricultural activities around the area. Annual effective dose (AED) was evaluated and used to estimate radiological hazard impact. Mean values of internal radiation hazard index (Hin) for soils, water, and vegetation are calculated and compared with those from literatures. The estimated mean excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) was obtained, too. The values of ELCR are under the world average value as recommended by United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) one of the world regulatory bodies. For this reason, health related issues may occur at long time of living in this environment.

This research focuses into the proposed Digital Economy Taxation Act, scrutinizing its provisions aimed at bolstering income tax and value-added tax (VAT) compliance. The bill mandates network intermediaries and ecommerce platforms, including those without a physical presence in the country, to act as withholding agents, a move that has sparked debate over its implementation challenges, such as the requirement for non-resident entities to establish a representative office within the Philippines. Utilizing qualitative method through documentary analysis, this study compares the Philippine approach to digital taxation with initiatives undertaken by other ASEAN countries, analyzing literature, articles, reports, blogs, and media releases to gain insights to the regional tax landscape. The paper seeks to uncover the nuances of each country's digital tax policies, focusing on the variance in tax rates and the thresholds set for business registration. The analysis extends to the potential economic impacts of the Digital Economy Taxation Act on the Philippines, considering both the opportunities and complexities posed by its enforcement. The paper underscores the imperative nature of digital taxation in an era increasingly reliant on digital transactions while highlighting the challenges associated with tax collection from non-resident digital service providers. The research provides a comprehensive understanding of the ASEAN digital taxation framework and offer insights into establishing unambiguous rules that ensure effective tax collection without hindering the growth of the burgeoning digital economy.
