No presente artigo, explora-se a delicada identificação e análise das vulnerabilidades para infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (ISTs) em discentes da área da saúde. Partindo dos resultados de uma pesquisa quantitativa de caráter descritivo, com objetivo analisar o conhecimento e a atitude entre acadêmicos da área da saúde sobre as ISTs e comportamentos sexuais. O estudo monitorou, em sua maioria, jovens estudantes entre 18–25 anos, com prevalência do sexo feminino, heterossexuais e solteiros. Do total de respostas obtidas, 96,7% dos participantes tiveram relação sexual nos últimos doze meses e, desses participantes sexualmente ativos, 91,9% indicaram não terem adquirido nenhuma doença sexualmente transmissível, enquanto os demais dividiram as respostas sobre determinadas doenças sexuais, sendo herpes genital a de maior incidência, com 3,2% das ISTs adquiridas pelos participantes. Apesar da incidência baixa de ISTs entre os participantes dos cursos de saúde da pesquisa proposta, revelou-se a importância de vincular à prática profissional não apenas o conhecimento acerca das infecções sexualmente transmissíveis, mas também o cuidado de si. Reforçando-se, ainda, a necessidade da temática ser abordada nos cursos da área da saúde e correlatos, já que 62,90% dos participantes nunca realizaram testagem para determinadas doenças, como HIV/AIDS, Sífilis e hepatites, embora todos os estudantes já tenham se exposto a situações nas quais ISTs são transmitidas. ​

Effects of Balance Training on Unstable Grounds in Kinesiophobia After ACL Injury
Authors: Kurt Ayşenur , Çağlayan Atakan , Coşkun Ebrar Şevval , Kayhan Recep Fatih
Published: December 2024

Study aim(s): It has been observed that post-injury pain following an ACL injury leads to a decline in functional status and leads to kinesiophobia, which limits movements and activity. Our study aimed to examine the effects of an anterior cruciate ligament injury on kinesophobia in athletes recovering from an ACL injury.
Methods: A total of 191 athletes participated in the study. They were divided into two groups: an exercising (97 people) and a non-exercising (94 people) group. The Tampa Kinesophobia Scale (TSK) was used to determine the athletes’ kinesophobia levels. For data analysis, a T-test, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey test for post-hoc analysis were used. The data were analyzed using the licensed SPSS 26 program.
Results: The study found a significant difference in kinesophobia levels between the exercising group (37.34±5.73) and the non-exercising group (39.29±5.51) following ACL injury (p < 0.05). However, no significant differences in kinesophobia were observed concerning gender, age, sports history (except within the exercise group, p < 0.05), ACL surgery, or the injured knee (except within the exercise group, p < 0.05) (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: The findings suggest that engaging in exercise after an ACL injury may help reduce kinesophobia levels. However, factors such as gender, age, sports history, ACL surgery, and the injured knee do not seem to significantly affect kinesophobia, except within the exercise group. This highlights the potential importance of exercise in recovery, regardless of demographic or injury-related variables.

Published: December 2024

Study aim(s): This study aimed to examine the relationship between dynamic balance and gait parameters, focusing on gender differences. Specifically, it sought to determine the presence of asymmetry between the right and left side in dynamic balance control among healthy individuals, as well as to explore the influence of age, gender, and anthropometric characteristics on dynamic stability. Additionally, the study examined the relationship between dynamic balance and spatial-temporal gait parameters.
Methods: The study population consisted of 66 volunteers (33 female, 33 male participants), all leading sedentary lifestyle. The average age of the female participants was 30.58±6.275 years, while that of the male participants was 30.39±4.899 years. Participants first completed a sociodemographic form. Following this, a static balance test was performed using the D-Wall apparatus in a bipedal stance, both with eyes open and closed. The test was conducted three times, with the mean value recorded. Afterward, participants rested passively for five minutes before the commencement of the gait analysis. In the initial phase of the investigation, a walking analysis was conducted barefoot at a velocity of 4.0 km/h (SCX version) on the Walker View device. During a one-minute trial at this speed, the following variables were recorded for one minute at 4.0 km/h: lower extremity trunk, hip, and knee flexion range of motion; stride lengths, cadence, and contact times. The collected data were then analyzed using an independent t-test.
Results: The mean body mass index (BMI) was 21.77±1.071 kg/m² for women and 24.08±2.246 kg/m² for men. A significant difference was identified in the trunk flexion range of motion (ROM), favoring men, and in eyes-open static bipedal balance, favoring women (p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in the remaining parameters (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: The results demonstrated significant discrepancies between male and female participants in trunk flexion ROM, where men outperformed women, and in eyes-open static balance, where women outperformed men. These findings indicate that gender is an important factor to consider in dynamic balance and gait assessments.

Published: December 2024

Redox processes in the aquatic environment were studied, and the mechanisms of
chemical reactions with the involvement oxidizing agents in the presence of transition metal ions and
complexes have been explained. This paper summarizes research data with special focus on the redox
chemical processes with the involvement of oxidative species including free radicals, and transition valence
metal ions. It is mentioned, that in the redox processes in natural water bodies formation of free radicals
or/and complex compounds with partial charge transfer takes place. This view includes a discussion on the
phenomenon of aggressive free radicals’ generation that may “kill” biota, rather than destroying pollutants,
and why the intermediate particles resulting from chemical and biochemical processes act much softer.

Published: December 2024

This study investigates the impact of microcredit on women’s empowerment in rural Bangladesh, specifically within the Lakshmipur District. A quantitative research approach was adopted by utilizing the data collected through a structured questionnaire. The survey involved 150 women from the district with a focus on their economic activities, autonomy, and social participation. The findings reveal that most respondents (65%) engage in trading supported primarily by microfinance and NGO loans. The majority (43%) achieved annual earnings exceeding BDT 6000, yet 40% reported challenges with loan repayment. The household decision-making analysis showed that 57% of the participants exercised autonomy over financial choices.  The results suggest that 83% of the respondents were married, underscoring their motivation to improve family finances. Moreover, 93% observed positive effects on family life, highlighting the role of microcredit in promoting economic and social empowerment, despite cultural challenges. Recommendations include integrating skill development with microcredit programs and involving male family members to create a supportive environment. This study highlights the potential of microcredit while suggesting pathways to achieve more sustainable empowerment for rural women in Bangladesh.

Published: December 2024

Cyclones pose a persistent threat to the coastal regions of Bangladesh, where vulnerable communities experience high levels of risk due to both natural hazards and social inequalities.It is clear from a field investigation of cyclone shelters in Mirzaganj upazila that these facilities are underfunded, poorly run, and discriminatory against people with disabilities, age, and gender. The goal of our research is to provide a comprehensive strategy for cyclone mitigation that incorporates both structural and non-structural elements. In order to identify discriminatory problems and come up with remedies, we carried out a thorough data survey in the region and used Kobotools for data analysis. Our initiative exemplifies a comprehensive strategy for mitigating cyclones that eradicates prejudice among those seeking refuge. It stresses community-led management in the non-structural mitigation component and a non-discriminatory shelter design in the structural mitigation method. Approximately 54% of individuals visited a cyclone shelter, while 46% did not. We found a number of reasons why people choose not to go, including inadequate transportation, security concerns, shelter distance from home, risk perception, inadequate food, lack of separate rooms for men and women, lack of a separate restroom for men and women, lack of a space for breastfeeding, and lack of a menstruation toilet. However, those who visited the cyclone shelter received certain amenities, but it was evident that their rights were being violated. About 43.75% of respondents said they were denied access to a room for breastfeeding, 42% of women said they were denied a menstruation restroom, and 43.75% said they were denied facilities for individuals with disabilities. Approximately 48% of individuals received early warnings from their local government, and 43% received them via social media. Approximately 63% of respondents believe that they are not a good fit for the cyclone shelter. The cyclone shelter has to be rebuilt. They cited a number of reasons, including inadequate transportation, dark roads at night, theft fears, and the unsuitability of the products.
College Teachers Job satisfaction: A comparative paradigm between Bangladesh Civil Service and Non-Civil Service
Authors: Foysal Habib
Published: December 2024

His satisfaction determines the quality and performance of a teacher. This paper aims to investigate college teacher job satisfaction in civil service (government colleges) and non-civil service (new government colleges) in Bangladesh. A survey method employing a quantitative approach was used to conduct comparative research. Convenient sampling was used to obtain data from 200 teachers (100 from the government college and 100 from the new government colleges) and 10 colleges (5 from the government and 5 from the new government colleges). The Chi-Squared independence hypothesis test reveals statistically significant variations in the degree of agreement for several of the questions on the Job Satisfaction scale between the government and the new government college teachers (salary, promotion, benefits, coworkers, type of work done, and communication within the organization). Based on teachers' demands and perceptions, suggestions have been made for educational management to incorporate professional and personal views connected to Job satisfaction.

Authors: Khatoon Tayyaba , Fahad Ataullah , Ahmad Naved
Published: December 2024

A male patient of 60 years of age presented with chief complaints of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) at the OPD of Ajmal Khan Tibbiya College Hospital, without any past-history of diabetes, TB, or other systemic illnesses. The patient underwent clinical examination and routine investigations, including urine analysis and blood tests. Urine analysis revealed unexpected glycosuria (glucose positive) despite normal blood glucose levels (80mg/dl). Other parameters were within normal limits, except for mildly elevated ALP (176 IU/L). The diagnosis of renal glycosuria was established after ruling out systemic causes. This case highlights the importance of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach in understanding and managing renal glycosuria. Integrating insights from conventional and Unani Medicine systems can offer patients a broader range of diagnostic perspectives, promoting holistic care and monitoring of kidney health.

Authors: Biasciucci Flavio , Di Fraia Gennaro , Quondamstefano Valeria
Published: December 2024

In December 2023, the Permanent Census of Population and Housing published data on the stock of the Italian population residing abroad in 2022. To identify this population figure, in addition to the sources used to determine the count of the population residing in Italy in the same year, two administrative sources, constantly updated, were integrated: the Registry of Italians Resident Abroad (AIRE) of the Ministry of the Interior and the Consular Registers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This novelty represents a valuable resource for better understanding the phenomenon of Italians abroad. The aim of this study is to analyse the stock of Italians habitually residing in Italy in 2021 and recorded as residents abroad in 2022. In particular, both Italians by birth and new fellow citizens are considered, also in relation to the country of destination. Based on characteristics collected in the Census, such as education, occupation, economic activity and family typology, different demographic and social profiles will be identified and compared. This study is a preliminary analysis on the topic of Italians abroad, aims to exploit the potential of the information available with the Permanent Census of Population.
Litigants’ Attitudes Toward Civil Justice in Italy
Authors: Caterino Claudio , Latini Isabella , Muratore Maria , Orsini Sante
Published: December 2024

The functioning of civil justice represents an essential aspect of the citizens’ quality of life and affects their trust in an institution that is one of the pillars of civil society. Citizens resort to civil justice when they believe their rights have been violated or they want to resolve a dispute. When dealing with “justice”, its evaluation and the citizens’ opinions about it are essential. Policies in the field of justice aim to improve the efficiency of the justice system but also the citizens’ satisfaction with it. Data from the recent 2023 wave of the sample survey “Aspects of Daily Life (A.V.Q.)” provide an opportunity to analyse citizens’ experiences with civil justice. In this study, we analysed the answers given by the interviewees using non-parametric tests, regression models, and correspondence analysis, taking into account the interviewees’ characteristics and some structural characteristics of the trial. By doing so, we intend to identify the determinants of citizens’ satisfaction in civil suits. The overall results highlighted the citizens’ experiences with the judicial process, the problems they perceive, their attitudes, and their opinions towards justice. This analysis represents the first step in checking the outcomes of recent changes in the organisation of civil justice in Italy. It would be the basis for monitoring the effect of alternative dispute resolutions (ADR), which are expected to expand justice efficiency and citizens’ satisfaction.

Since ancient times, China has been a traditional agricultural country, and ceramic products have gradually developed from simple use to many artistic functions in our countryside. The development of ceramic art and the design of rural ecological environment landscapes have become more and more attention, so this paper will also analyze the specific application strategy through the application practice of ceramic art in rural ecological environment landscape design.
Treatment Of Gingival Recession In The Mandibular Anterior Region With An Amnion Chorion Membrane Using The Papilla Access Tunnel Technique – 2 Clinical Case Reports
Authors: Roshni K B , Shetty Neetha J
Published: December 2024

The tunnel technique for root coverage and soft tissue augmentation in the mandibular anterior area can pose several challenges, including shallow recession, thin soft tissue, pronounced roots, and alveolar undercuts. These factors can complicate the surgical procedure and lead to poor outcomes. In this context, a papilla access technique has been developed to facilitate the preparation of the tunnel site and the placement of grafts under challenging anatomical conditions. This surgical access method is particularly useful in patients with minimal recession of the mandibular central incisors, where extending the tunnel to include the lateral incisors and canines is necessary for augmentation purposes. This approach offers improved surgical maneuverability for both site preparation and graft placement while minimizing the risk of perforation or trauma to delicate tissues. Overall, the papilla access technique represents a useful addition to the armamentarium of periodontal surgeons for root coverage in the mandibular anterior region and soft tissue augmentation procedures.
Aesthetics and Politics of Waste: Rejects in Consumer Society's Distribution of the Sensible
Authors: Gineprini Lorenzo
Published: December 2024

Most critical studies of consumerism denounce the deceptive images produced by commodities, but what happens when consumer goods are rejected as waste? Instead of considering garbage disposal as a merely technical and hygienic issue, this article investigates the “aesthetics of disappearance” of waste. The structural reasons for the invisibilization of waste and the political effects of its manifestation will be analyzed through Jacques Rancière’s notion of “distribution of the sensible.” The central thesis is that material consumer culture, based on a continuous process of devaluing and replacing items, needs organizing the perceptual field to make waste disappear and thus create the illusion that, once discarded, an object vanishes. Therefore, making waste visible is interpreted as a rapture of the normative configuration of the sensible, disturbing habitual modes of experiencing and signifying reality. This hypothesis is investigated through a paradigmatic artistic work: Matta-Clark’s Garbage Wall (1970). The American artist exposes waste in the public space to challenge the established distribution of spaces and functions in the urban context, displaying waste’s stubborn resistance to the imperative to disappear.
La autorización de la razón teórica y los fines naturales en Kant
Authors: Vieyra Ana
Published: December 2024

En este trabajo se busca examinar el problema de la justificación racional de los principios y conceptos de la razón para el conocimiento teórico, partiendo de las afirmaciones de Kant en el Apéndice de la Dialéctica Trascendental de la Crítica a la razón pura. Mi propósito es introducir el problema y mostrar de qué forma considero que Kant abre una posible avenida de justificación a partir de la objetividad de la explicación del enjuiciamiento teleológico para los seres organizados en la Crítica de la facultad de juzgar. Buscaré mostrar cómo las afirmaciones de Kant sobre el rol positivo de la razón en el conocimiento teórico presentan un problema interpretativo. Este problema requiere una resolución que atienda la dimensión realista u objetiva demandada por la idea misma de la razón en sus fines propiamente teóricos.
Kant e a estrutura das representações conceituais: universalidade, nota característica, reflexão, discursividade.
Authors: Cardoso Silva Felipe
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo explora a estrutura da representação conceitual na filosofia de Kant através da análise de suas diversas qualificações, a saber, universalidade, nota características, reflexividade e discursividade, bem como das operações do entendimento que a constituem, a saber, as operações de comparação, reflexão e abstração, tendo por base o texto da Lógica organizado por Jäsche e em comparação com a Schulphilosophie. Demonstra-se como admitir as representações conceituais, como representação universais, quer dizer, representações por notas características comuns a diversos objetivos, é uma descrição natureza das representações conceituais, ao passo que, enquanto representações refletidas, das operações lógicas, elas se originam das regras próprias de sua aplicação aos casos particulares, de modo que possuir um conceito é também ser capaz de julgar. Em conclusão, defende-se que a posse de conceitos se reconhece na medida em que se é capaz de julgar. A vinculação entre conceitos e juízos é indissociável e a posse de conceitos sem a capacidade de julgar é índice de um conhecimento histórico, não de um conhecimento racional.
El papel del Juicio en la comprensión kantiana del derecho
Authors: González García Marcos
Published: December 2024

En la filosofía del derecho de Kant existen dos niveles de reflexión: uno referido a la normatividad jurídica (que es objeto explícito de reflexión en las obras jurídicas kantianas) y otro orientado hacia la actividad judicial en lo que ésta tiene de aplicación de las normas jurídicas positivas a casos particulares (menos estudiado debido a la ausencia de un tratamiento expreso y sistemático por parte de Kant). Este trabajo aborda este segundo aspecto para sostener la tesis de que existe en la filosofía kantiana un planteamiento no sistemático de lo que Wieland denominó la “aporía de la aplicación”.

The Owens College Extension of 1870–73: Rethinking the Origins of the Civic University Tradition in England
Authors: Jones H. S.
Published: December 2024

This article demonstrates that the ‘extension’ of Owens College, Manchester – the ancestor of the University of Manchester – in 1870–73 represents an important and misunderstood moment in the history of English civic universities. The new model of governance instituted by the extension movement subsequently became normative for the civic universities, and remained largely in place throughout the twentieth century. The reformers set out to devise a model of public accountability appropriate for a public institution as distinct from a private trust. The article centres on the relationship between James Bryce and the lay leaders of the extension movement, and explores the connections between the Owens College reform, the Taunton Commission’s inquiry into the endowed grammar schools, and contests over the control of three major educational foundations in Manchester (Chetham’s Hospital, Manchester Grammar School and Hulme’s Charity).
Servicing the State: Municipality and the Military Industrial Complex
Authors: Brook Richard
Published: December 2024

Following its charter of 1956, the Manchester Municipal College of Technology appointed a new principal, who oversaw the rapid expansion of the campus. The development of a suite of new buildings, on one of the city’s most polluted and derelict tracts, required cooperation between the College, the Victoria University of Manchester, the Manchester Corporation, and a host of central government ministries. This initiative was driven by the recognition that technology and technological education were vital tools in the retention of Britain’s global influence. Manchester was identified for the accelerated growth of higher technological education due to its history of engineering, manufacturing and the development of commercial computing. Founded on archival sources, this article explores the complex relationships between statecraft, Whitehall policy, municipal governance and space. Using the manifestation of urban planning and architecture, it argues that the ‘Warfare State’ had influence beyond overt military programmes, which informed certain civic and municipal local enterprise with objectives other than rearmament, such as education, employment and economic recovery.
Autopsies of gas warfare: intoxicated corpses of the First World War
Authors: Garibian Taline
Published: December 2024

This article intends to shed light on the influence of gas warfare on the management of dead bodies of violence. It shows that this new type of weapon prompted the setting up of new military centres dedicated to forensic research within the French army. This work notably involved carrying out numerous autopsies on the bodies of deceased intoxicated soldiers. By looking at the reports produced and the work of forensic pathologists, the article demonstrates how dead bodies became a site of knowledge production. It also investigates the tensions related to the treatment of dead bodies resulting from this widespread practice of autopsy. The reports produced also provide precise descriptions of the last moments of the soldiers who died in ambulances or hospitals. Finally, by cross-referencing these sources with soldiers’ grave registers, it is possible to grasp the afterlives of autopsied bodies and the diverse fates of soldiers who fell at the front.
Medicalising dead bodies: the First Indochina War (1946–54)
Authors: Pouget Benoît
Published: December 2024

This article shows how the medicalisation of death in wartime can be seen as integral to a broader medicalisation of war that it both stems from and sustains. More specifically, it highlights the pivotal role of post-mortem examinations – which were widely performed in French military hospitals during the First Indochina War – in advancing clinical knowledge and monitoring the quality of care, as the only way of providing diagnostic certainty. Pathology procedures also contributed to the introduction of therapeutic innovations, which were largely the result of ongoing interactions both within the armed forces medical service and with the wider military and civilian French and international medical community.
Accounting for war burials in the German Democratic Republic: the politics of knowledge production in the aftermath of mass death
Authors: Tradii Laura
Published: December 2024

The area of Germany which became the Soviet Occupation Zone/German Democratic Republic (GDR) bore the brunt of the Soviet offensive of 1945. This last phase of the Second World War on German soil produced a sensational death toll. Yet, a systematic registration of war burials on GDR soil did not take place until the 1970s. This article analyses a particular facet of knowledge production and mass death by turning to the process of accounting for Second World War burials through lists and statistics in the socialist GDR, with a particular focus on key policy changes in the 1970s. Unpacking the reasons which prompted a large-scale registration of war burials some twenty-five years after the end of the war, I argue that the process of accounting for war deaths was shaped by both domestic and foreign politics, and in particular by evolving relations with non-socialist countries. I also demonstrate that international requirements for the visibility and accountability of war burials, as enshrined in the Geneva Conventions, generated tensions with a domestic ‘politics of history’ which required the invisibility of particular categories of dead.
Early Evidence of Latvian Large Organisations’ Readiness for Regulatory Sustainability Reporting
Authors: Novicka Jekaterina
Published: December 2024

In September 2024, the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) was transposed into the Latvian Sustainability Information Disclosure Law (Law). The law introduces new requirements for 296 large organisations to include a sustainability report (SR) prepared following European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) as a part of their management report in the annual report. The aim of this research is to understand the readiness of the Latvian market to ensure ESRS reporting. Thus, early in 2024, which is the first reporting year, the author performed the interpretive field study by conducting twelve semi-structured interviews with SR experts. The results revealed that data availability and quality are the main challenges when preparing the ESRS report. Experts suggested that ESRS reporting requires the introduction of regular sustainability accounting as an extension of conventional accounting and building enhanced sustainability data analytics for evidence-based decision-making. Conclusions show that to establish a transparent and cohesive approach to ESRS reporting, it is necessary to have an automated sustainability reporting system that embraces an assemblage of organisational sustainability and digitalisation. The recommendation for the management is to start early preparation and build robust internal big data analytics capability (BDAC) to guarantee a more cost-efficient approach to ESRS reporting.
Eating Behavior and Body Composition Analysis of Active College Students: A Cross-Cultural Perspective between Lebanon and Foreign countries
Authors: Fayad Fadi
Published: December 2024

This study aims to examine and compare the Nutrition Habits and body composition among Lebanese universities’ active students according to gender characteristics, as well as to explore the effect of these Nutrition habits on body composition parameters. A sample of 200 students (100 males, 100 females) from the Lebanese University, faculty of education were studied. The standardized self-administered dietary questionnaire (Turconi et al., 2003) was used to assess the students’ Nutrition habits. In addition, the method of multi-frequency bioelectrical analysis was used to assess five Body Composition parameters: (BH), (BM), (BMI), (PBFM), and (PSMM). Regarding Nutrition Habits, the Lebanese students showed satisfactory results and scored above average in all sections of the nutrition survey. The Frequency of food consumption showed that only (32%) of the students reported skipping fast food consumption, while (16.5%) of them reported skipping sweet consumption. Daily consumption of 2 portions or 200 g of Fruits and Vegetables was reported by (30.5% and 50%) of the students respectively. As for body composition, both male and female students were found in normal body weight (Males: BMI=23.12, and PBFM=12.0), and (Females: BMI=20.9, and PBFM=22.2). In addition, the Pearson correlation analysis that discovered multiple relations between the body composition measures and dietary habits determined low to moderate negative and positive significant correlations.

This research delved into the potential correlation between morphological characteristics and the performance in a police specific physical ability test (PSPAT) among students at the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies. Of the 362 third-year students, 164 were female and 198 were male. The study assessed seven morphological traits: body height, body mass, body mass index, body fat, skeletal muscle mass, and their respective percentages. Body composition details were obtained using a multi-channel bioelectric impedance analyser. The Pearson correlation analysis was employed to understand the relationships between these features and the PSPAT outcomes. Results revealed that for female students, body fat, skeletal muscle mass, and their percentages significantly impacted their PSPAT performance. Male students, on the other hand, showed correlations with body fat and its percentage, but not with skeletal muscle mass. Interestingly, there were no significant associations between test results and body height, weight, or body mass index for all subjects. These insights emphasize the crucial role body composition plays in the physical capacities of police students, particularly focusing on the balance of muscle and fat content. This study's findings can inform future student selection, training methods, and the importance of comprehensive body composition assessments.

This research sought to determine whether there was a direct relationship between muscle power, muscle endurance and emergency response times among young adults. While performance capability remains an essential component for emergency teams, this study showed how some physical fitness factors might alter initial emergency response time and lessen the effects of the disaster. Engagement in preparedness exercises, particularly those emphasizing physical activity, offers advantageous health outcomes and enhances disaster response efficacy. These improvements in readiness directly impact the overall outcomes of such disasters. The sample consisted of 21 students, comprising both male and female participants of the same age. Following the American College of Sports Medicine's (ACSM) Exercise Preparticipation Health Screening Questionnaire for Exercise Professionals, the participants were separated into two groups: the physically active group and the physically inactive group. The study's main objective was to determine whether muscle power and muscle endurance of the participants could influence their fire emergency response movement time to a safe location. Additionally, the study sought to find out whether physically active participants responded more quickly than physically inactive ones. The findings of this study indicate a relationship between emergency response time and measurements of muscle endurance and muscle power. Participants who were physically active had shorter movement time to safe location (p = 0.023), performed better on the standing broad jump test (p = 0.001), and muscle endurance test (p = 0.004). Although performance ability is a key component for emergency teams, this study demonstrated how some factors of physical fitness can affect initial emergency response time and help mitigate the effects of the disaster in young adults.

The subject of the study is the generic composition, places of settlement and totemic representations of the Betyunsky clans of Yakutia. The purpose of the study is to study the ethnic history and the formation of the Betyun people as a tribal group. The following tasks have been solved within the framework of the study: 1) to determine the history of the settlement of the Betyun people; 2) to consider the features of the tribal structure; 3) to identify totemic representations, their plot orientation and changes; 4) to characterize the economic structure. The source base is based on previously published, but also on a significant number of unpublished archival sources. Folklore material made it possible to systematize genealogical information and totemic representations. Cartographic material was used to clarify the issue of the settlement area. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism, dialectics and objectivity. The method of source analysis made it possible to establish the information potential of the identified documents, to assess and use them. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that, based on the involvement of a wide range of sources, an attempt has been made to reconstruct the ancestral composition, places of settlement and totemic representations of the Betyun people. The results of the study will help to organize information about the process of division and separation from indigenous tribes and clans and the formation of new administrative-territorial units among the Betyunsky Yakuts. Based on the results of the work, it was concluded that further research is necessary due to the presence of a large number of unpublished documents. The research materials can be used in the process of teaching historical disciplines, developing textbooks, conducting separate and generalizing studies on the history of Yakutia.

Published: December 2024

This paper presents a novel traffic flow prediction method emphasising heterogeneous vehicle characteristics and visual density features. Traditional models often overlook the variety of vehicles, resulting in inaccuracies. The proposed method utilises visual techniques to quantify traffic features, such as mixed flow and vehicle accumulation, enhancing dynamic density estimation and flow fluidity. We introduce a spatio-temporal prediction model that integrates various data types, capturing complex dependencies and improving accuracy. This research advances traffic flow prediction by considering the diverse nature of vehicles and leveraging visual data, offering valuable insights for intelligent transportation systems. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of this approach over conventional methods, especially in capturing traffic flow fluctuations.

A new approach is proposed for modelling and monitoring bioprocesses dynamics characterized by different metabolic states. Bioprocesses cannot be described by a single model. For this reason, three phases characterised by the bioprocess are defined – periodic, exponential, and stationary. During each phase, the process passes through one or more physiological states. Each physiological state is described by a sub-model with a different structure and parameter values. The transition of the process from one physiological state to another is carried out by switching the sub-models based on a predefined key parameter. Monitoring is performed by a cascade of software sensors using the sub-models and real-time measurement of the concentrations of the main process variables. The proposed approach was tested by modelling and monitoring the Escherichia coli phytase production process.

Eight single (SGA) and eight multi-population (MGA) genetic algorithms (GA) differing in the sequence of implementation of the main genetic operators’ selection, crossover and mutation, or omitting the mutation operator, have been examined for the purposes of parameter identification of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae fed-batch fermentation process model. The influence of some of the main genetic algorithm parameters, namely number of individuals, maximum number of generations, generation gap, crossover and mutation rates for both SGA and MGA, and insertion and migration probability for MGA only, have been investigated in depth. Almost all applied SGA and MGA led to similar values of the optimization criterion but the SGA with operators’ sequence mutation, crossover and selection, and MGA with operators’ sequence crossover, selection and mutation, are significantly faster than others while keeping the model accuracy. Among the considered GA parameters, generation gap influences most significantly to SGA and MGA convergence time, saving of about 40% of computational time of the algorithms without affecting the model accuracy.
