Heterotopic pancreas in the jejunum: highlighting the necessity of excision and histopathological confirmation – a case report
Authors: Balaraj Sunil Kumar Bheemasamudra , Nagesh Dhnaya , Kalgeri Sowmya Halasabalu , Doddawad Vidya G
Published: November 2024

Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is a congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of pancreatic tissue that is anatomically separate from the main pancreatic gland without continuity of the duct system and vascularity. The most frequent locations for this displacement are within the upper gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the stomach, duodenum, and proximal jejunum. Other less common sites include the esophagus, ileum, Meckel diverticulum, biliary tree, mesentery, and spleen. Typically, uncomplicated heterotopic pancreas does not exhibit symptoms, and the lesion is often discovered incidentally during unrelated surgeries, imaging examinations, or autopsy. This report describes a 35-year-old male with a history of corrosive ingestion who presented with dysphagia. During surgical exploration, a tissue measuring 0.7 × 0.5 cm was observed approximately 40 cm from the DJ flexure in the jejunum. The identified tissue was excised and sent in for histopathological examination (HPE). In conclusion, we advise the excision of the ectopic tissue and recommend HPE because the diagnosis of HP cannot be confirmed without a thorough histopathological examination. Despite its rarity, heterotopic pancreas should be included in the differential diagnosis when evaluating gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GEOPOLITICAL TENSIONS AND GLOBAL TRADE: AN ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF RUSSIA-UKRAINE CONFLICT ON THE BANGLADESHI BRAND CASIO METAL
Authors: Salma Akter  , S M Taj Ashrafi  , Tanzim Ara Mim
Published: November 2024

Md. Badsha Mia founded Casio Metal, a local faucet-manufacturing business, in 1986 with a small capital of 25,000 BDT. Currently, Casio Metal is facing severe disruptions in its business operations, and its survival is threatened by the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war. This is due to the increase in the dollar's value against the local currency, which has resulted in a dollar crisis in local banks, leading most private banks not to grant permission to open LCs. Additionally, the crisis has prevented Md. Badsha from importing necessary machinery and equipment from other countries, including China, from which he usually imports parts and equipment. As a result, the company has been unable to fulfill its orders, significantly impacting its regular operations. This case focuses on the challenges faced by a raw-materials import-based manufacturer during a global crisis and the uncertainty surrounding whether Casio Metal will survive. It is a single case study. The data collection method was based on in-depth interviews with the owner. The interview was audio-recorded with the interviewee's permission. The type of case is an applied decisional case. The protagonist was present. The theoretical framework of this case study is based on the negative impacts of globalization, including its associated costs.

Authors: Yitta Lawal Zakariyau  , Yusuf Hammed Agboola  , Mojeed Olawale Adebowale  , Gold Kafilah Lola
Published: November 2024

In the selected West African nations, issues concerning foreign capital inflows, poverty, and economic growth are complex and multifaceted. These issues encompass reliance on commodity exports, fluctuations in foreign capital inflows, debt burdens, corruption, poor governance, and lack of diversification. Therefore, understanding the nature of these challenges is both relevant and imperative. Consequently, this paper investigates the relationship between foreign capital inflow, poverty, and economic growth in the chosen West African countries. To estimate the model, the study employs a Random Panel model. The findings reveal, among other things, that foreign capital inflows have a beneficial impact on the agricultural, health, and educational sectors in the selected West African nations. It is recommended that in order to support sustainable development and reduce reliance on external expertise, foreign investors should be encouraged to engage in technology sharing, skills transfer, and local capacity building, particularly in the agricultural and industrial sectors. Additionally, incentives should be tailored to attract foreign investment in sectors where these nations excel. This may include measures such as land access, tax breaks, and other sector-specific advantages.

Authors: Ariana Chong Suk Eng  , Fung Chorng Yuan  , Ki Yen Ping
Published: November 2024

E-training, work motivation and work-life balance are three crucial factors that could affect employee performance. However, literature review indicates a lack of consistency in the study of the relationship among these elements, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This research delves into how e-training, work motivation, and work-life balance influence teachers' performance during the COVID-19 crisis. Previous studies highlight the detrimental impact of the pandemic on 90 per cent of employees in Malaysia, with 53 per cent of teachers experiencing a decline in performance attributed to elevated stress and mental health issues. A total of 152 teachers from both primary and secondary schools in Malaysia participated in a comprehensive 47-item online survey. The results reveal a positive correlation between e-training, work motivation, and work-life balance with teachers' performance. Teachers equipped with adequate e-training, high work motivation and good work-life balance would translate into increased performance amid the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The insights gained from this study can inform government initiatives to design and implement more effective e-training programmes, fostering work motivation and work-life balance for high-performance employees.

Pest and disease control in the cultivation of greenery is an integral part of obtaining a high-quality and high yield. Heat treatment is one of the best ways to combat plant diseases and pests and allows you to quickly create the necessary sterile conditions without the use of chemicals. A device for disinfection of soil mixtures in a thin layer by IR radiation on a conveyor is being developed for heat treatment. The prepared soil mixture from the feed hopper enters the conveyor belt in a thin layer. An IR emitter with adjustable power is installed above the conveyor belt. The movement of the conveyor belt should ensure heating in the soil mixture layer up to 100 ± 5 ° C. This is controlled by a temperature sensor, which sends a signal via a programmable relay to the conveyor motor and regulates its movement. The disinfection process allows to achieve high energy efficiency due to software regulation, taking into account optimal modes and control of the processing temperature.

Residential quality has become a fundamental determinant of quality of life in urban settlements. The study aims to assess the impact of declining residential quality and quality of life in Yenagoa City, Nigeria. The objectives are to identify residential quality indicators of QoL used to assess these impacts of residential quality indicators on QoL and identify sustainable physical planning measures to improve residential quality and QoL of residents of the study area. The study adopted a quantitative research approach employing a descriptive research design. The study employed a simple random technique for the selection of 6 neighbourhoods. Three hundred ninety-six (396) respondents were obtained by applying the Taro Yamane formula at a 5% precision level and proportionately distributed across sampled neighbourhoods. The study found that the declining residential quality affects physical, social and economic domains of life as residents are living more in rooming housing and blocks of flats with an average of 4-6 households and 2-3 households, with mostly 4-6 persons per household occupying 2-3 rooms and 1 room. More than 60% of the buildings in the neighbourhoods needed more water supply and mainly had untarred access roads without drainages. The findings further showed that some neighbourhoods lacked secondary school facilities. The study found that the prevalence of crime and violence has caused injury, property loss and life in the study area. The study found that a substantial percentage of residents are unemployed, with the average earning of the employed being less than N60,000 monthly. The study revealed that the contributions of the indicators used for assessing demonstrated from the rating of perceived QoL of the neighbourhoods as “unsatisfactory” and “satisfactory”. However, to improve these conditions, the following measures are proffered including urban renewal schemes should be carried out in the neighbourhoods, government agencies involved in physical planning, development control and management should strictly enforce existing physical planning policies, regulations and standards, develop a Participatory Planning Approach (PPA) framework were members of the neighbourhoods and the city development agencies will collaborate in the decision-making process and halt urban sprawl and leapfrog development in the city to prevent informal settlements formation.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to assess the influence of work-life balance and organizational culture on work engagement, with job satisfaction serving as a mediating variable, among Bintara personnel in the Public Relations Division of the Central Java Regional Police. A quantitative correlational approach was used, with 39 Bintara respondents participating. The results show that organizational culture has a significant impact on work engagement, while work-life balance does not exhibit a substantial effect. Furthermore, job satisfaction does not mediate the relationship between work-life balance, organizational culture, and work engagement. The validity tests reveal that all variables have AVE values greater than 0.5 and Cronbach's Alpha scores above 0.7, indicating high validity and reliability. These findings highlight the important role of organizational culture in promoting work engagement among police officers and recommend improvements to work-life balance policies within police institutions.

An overview of outdoor low-cost gas-phase air quality sensor deployments: current efforts, trends, and limitations
Authors: Okorn Kristen , Iraci Laura T.
Published: November 2024

Abstract. We reviewed 60 sensor networks and 17 related efforts (sensor review papers and data accessibility projects) to better understand the landscape of stationary low-cost gas-phase sensor networks deployed in outdoor environments worldwide. This study is not exhaustive of every gas-phase sensor network on the globe but rather exists to categorize types of sensor networks by their key characteristics and explore general trends. This also exposes gaps in monitoring efforts to date, especially regarding the availability of gas-phase measurements compared to particulate matter (PM) and geographic coverage gaps (the Global South, rural areas). We categorize ground-based networks that measure gas-phase air pollutants into two main subsets based on their deployment type – quasi-permanent (long term) and campaign (short to medium term) – and explore commonplace practices, strengths, and weaknesses of stationary monitoring networks. We conclude with a summary of cross-network unification and quality control efforts. This work aims to help scientists looking to build a sensor network explore best practices and common pathways and aid end users in finding low-cost sensor datasets that meet their needs.
Quantifying degradation of the Imja Lake moraine dam with fused InSAR and SAR feature tracking time series

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) hazards are often tied to the structural properties of the moraines that dam glacial lakes. Traditional investigations of moraine dam structure and degradation involve costly and logistically challenging in-situ geophysical and repeat topographic surveys, which can only be performed for a small number of sites. We developed a scalable satellite remote sensing approach using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), InSAR coherence, and SAR feature tracking to precisely measure moraine dam surface displacement and map the extent of buried ice. We combined time series from ascending and descending Sentinel-1 orbits to investigate vertical and horizontal surface displacement from 2017–2024 with ~12-day temporal sampling. We applied our approach to quantify degradation of the Imja Lake moraine dam in the Everest Region of Nepal. We find that a 0.3 km2 area of the moraine dam has cumulatively subsided ~90 cm over the 7-year study period. Seasonal change in InSAR coherence provides evidence for buried ice throughout the moraine dam. We observe consistent downward and eastward displacement throughout the colder months, which we attribute to ice flow. The magnitude of downward vertical surface velocity increases in the warmer months, likely due to melting of buried ice. Our observations provide new insights into the timing and magnitude of the processes that control moraine dam development and evolution, with broader implications for regional GLOF hazard assessment and mitigation.
Super Typhoons Mangkhut (2018) and Saola (2023) during landfall: comparison and insights for wind engineering practice

Abstract. Offshore wind turbines are considerably sensitive to wind effects, and wind information of tropical cyclone (TC) lays the basis for their wind-resistant design and anti-TC operation especially in TC-prone areas. While the statistical characteristics of TCs have drawn continuous concerns, the specific features of some typical TC events, which are of practical importance for the daily operation of marine turbines, receive less attention in the wind engineering community. Super Typhoons Mangkhut and Saola are two of the strongest TCs impacting South China. Notably, although Saola was reported to be more intense than Mangkhut, it resulted in much less severe impact and damage. This article presents a comparison study on these two TCs based on comprehensive usage of field records. Results suggest that both Mangkhut and Saola exhibited a concentric eyewall structure during development, but Saola completed the eyewall replacement before landfall, whilst Mangkhut failed to. Consequently, Saola evolved into a more intense and compact storm. By contrast, Mangkhut decayed consistently but still exerted extensive impact over a wider area. Consistent with these features, the wind characteristics of Mangkhut and Saola also demonstrated noteworthy discrepancies. These findings provide useful insights for operation and maintenance strategies of coastal and offshore wind turbines.
Phylogeochemistry: exploring evolutionary constraints on belemnite rostrum element composition

Published: November 2024

Abstract. The biogenic carbonate hardparts of a large range of marine organisms are the most important geochemical archives of Earth’s climate dynamics through time and the evolution of life. That said, biomineralisation pathways, i.e., the secretion of mineral phases by organisms, are complex and may differ significantly between different taxa. In light of this, it is critically important to evaluate if related taxa might display similar hard parts geochemistry. If so, this relation might bear information on evolutionary relationships and has great significance in carbonate archive research. Here, we test the evolutionary constraints on main and trace element ratios of belemnite rostra using Bayesian phylogenetic tools. For this purpose, we assembled a large dataset on element ratios from 2241 published samples of belemnite rostra and used comparative Bayesian phylogenetic tools to reconstruct ancestral states and evolutionary rates. While Mn/Ca and Fe/Ca appear to be taxon-independent and probably mainly reflect environmental and diagenetic effects, Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca display stronger taxon-specific patterns, even though their interpretation remains complex. The evolutionary rates are high, with average estimated changes in element ratios of 12.4 % (Mg/Ca) and 12.3 % (Sr/Ca) of the overall mean element ratio per 1 million years. While the distribution of Sr/Ca ratios is relatively homogeneous across the tree, Mg concentrations are divided among two distinct groups (< 5.5 and >7.5 mmol/mol, respectively), with at least five evolutionary transitions between them. Beyond carbonate archive research, our phylogenetic analysis provides insights into the evolution of belemnites. This study highlights the complex interplay between evolutionary, ontogenetic, environmental and diagenetic effects and calls for caution when using belemnite element ratios as proxies for palaeoclimatic studies. We propose the term ’phylogeochemistry’ for the investigation of geochemical data using phylogenetic modelling techniques.
