An evaluation of the risks influencing project performance was conducted in the railway construction industry in the Eastern area of Nigeria in order to reduce the risks connected with a specific activity and the potential for worker harm. The data obtained from a self-administered questionnaire survey of the construction industries was calculated using the Likert scale and the mean index formula following a brief instruction on health, safety, and environmental culture in the industry. Using a qualitative approach to data analysis and a matrix analysis table, the amount of risk was ascertained. Six categories of hazards, together with their subcategories, were chosen from construction-related projects based on the literature that was mentioned. To ensure that every company in the research region was equally represented, three firms were chosen at random from each state. Employees in the chosen construction industry received 160 questionnaires in total. 44 did not answer for a variety of reasons, bringing the sample size down to 116. A rate of 72.5% for the respondent was found. Within two months, the distribution and collection were completed. Using Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient, which gauges the consistency of elements in question answers, reliability tests were run on each risk scale. Social, political, and construction hazards are the riskiest of the six categories of risk mentioned. The findings are consistent with the literature, which shows that the most common dangers in the construction sectors within the analyzed locations are poor safety performance and a lack of understanding of safety regulations.

Unraveling the Genetic Landscape of Psoriasis: A Genome-Wide Association Study in Egypt
Authors: Abd El Nasser  , Nazeera Hamid
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a complex genetic basis. While Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified numerous susceptibility loci in European populations, the genetic landscape of psoriasis in Egyptians remains largely unexplored.
Methods: The study conducted a GWAS in a cohort of 1,200 Egyptian individuals (600 cases and 600 controls) using the Illumina Infinium Global Screening Array-24 v3.0 BeadChip. After stringent quality control, association analyses were performed using logistic regression, adjusting for age, sex, and principal components. Replication of top signals was attempted in an independent cohort of 500 Egyptian individuals (250 cases and 250 controls). Functional annotation and pathway enrichment analyses were performed to gain insights into the biological relevance of associated loci.
Results: We identified novel genome-wide significant associations in the HLA region (rs10484554: p = 1.2 x 10^-15, OR = 2.3) and near the IL23R gene (rs11209026: p = 3.5 x 10^-9, OR = 1.7). These associations were replicated in the independent cohort. Additionally, we observed suggestive associations near several genes previously implicated in psoriasis, including IL12B, TRAF3IP2, and CARD14. Pathway enrichment analyses highlighted the involvement of immune response, cytokine signaling, and keratinocyte differentiation pathways.
Conclusion: This GWAS in Egyptians has revealed novel psoriasis susceptibility loci and replicated previously reported associations, contributing to a better understanding of the genetic architecture of psoriasis in this population. These findings may have implications for the development of personalized treatment strategies.

اعتبار الخصومة كأن لم تكن

إذا كانت الخصومة ظاهرة متحركة, وتسير في تتابع منتظم, وفي مراحل محددة حتى تصل إلى المرحلة الختامية فيها, وهي الحكم في الموضوع, فإن الخصومة ليست ظاهرة تلقائية, تسير بمجرد بدئها بقوة دفع ذاتي, وإنما لابد لها من محرك يدفعها للسير إلى الأمام حتى تصل إلى نهاية الطريق وهو الحكم فيها, وهذا المحرك هو بالأساس الخصوم, خاصة المدعي الذي يبدأ الخصومة ويتابعها ويحركها, ويعجلها كلما توقفت، وتنفذ ما تأمر به المحكمة من موالاة إجراءاتها, وإذا أخلّ المدعي بواجب تسيير الخصومة ومتابعة أعمالها, فإن الجزاء أن دعواه تعدّ كأن لم تكن، ومقتضى هذا الجزاء انتهاء الخصومة في الدعوى القائمة أمام المحكمة بغير الفصل في الموضوع، فنكون بصدد انقضاء مبتسر للخصومة, فهو في حقيقته جزاءً ينزله القانون على رافع الدعوى، وهو جزاء إهماله وتراخيه وتقصيره في مباشرة دعواه ومتابعة إجراءاتها وصولاً بها إلى غايتها. ويتم توقيع هذه الجزاء, إما بقوة القانون بمجرد حصول المخالفة, أو بحكم القضاء من تلقاء نفسه أو بناءً على طلب المدعى عليه وفقاً للقواعد التي ينظمها القانون في هذا الشأن, فالمقنن يهدف من تقرير هذا الجزاء إلى حثّ المدعي على ضرورة متابعة دعواه وموالاة السير فيها وتنفيذ ما تأمره به المحكمة وذلك بدءً من إعلان عريضتها وحضور جلساتها والقيام بكافة الأمور الإجرائية اللازمة لسيرها وحتى الحكم فيها.

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of aid campaigns launched via social media. The paper explores the phenomenon called “helping by clicking,” which consists in clicking “Like” to support a charitable campaign or cause. The main aim of the paper is to present a new measure: The Helping by Clicking Types Questionnaire (HCTQ), assessing the patterns of helping by clicking. In developing the questionnaire, we relied on the theory of reciprocal altruism. The study included two samples of n = 349 and n = 1,006 participants. The HTCQ consists of 19 items making up three subscales: People, Environment, and Animals. The present research included two independent studies. Study 1 was conducted to determine the psychometric properties of the questionnaire, while Study 2 was conducted to verify the previous results and to test the usefulness of the questionnaire in distinguishing individuals with different patterns of helping by clicking. The measure was designed to assess three aspects of helping: helping people, helping the environment, and helping animals via social media. The study showed that the HCTQ was suitable for measuring patterns of helping by clicking. All HCTQ factors had good Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients. The HCTQ concerns a new and largely unexplored area of helping that involves the use of modern technologies. It reveals people’s motivations for helping.
Quality of life and body dissatisfaction in cisgender men reporting sexual attraction toward men or women
Authors: Cahill Liam , Leunissen Joost M. , Marriott Mike , Dunn Andrew K.
Published: August 2024

Gay men report poorer body image than straight men, but no research has examined other dimensions of sexual identity (e.g., sexual attraction). Most research also focused on clinical outcomes of body dissatisfaction rather than subclinical influences on quality of life. We examined the association between sexual attraction (i.e., attraction to men or women), body dissatisfaction and quality of life in cisgender men. We hypothesised that: 1) men attracted to men would report higher body dissatisfaction, 2) men attracted to men would report lower quality of life (i.e., psychological, physiological, social, and environmental), 3) body dissatisfaction would be negatively associated with quality of life, and finally 4) body dissatisfaction mediates the association between sexual attraction and quality of life. A cross-sectional study (86 men attracted to men and 87 men attracted to women) supported these hypotheses but showed that sexual attraction was only associated with psychological quality of life. While sexual attraction was only associated with psychological quality of life, there were indirect associations with all quality of life domains acting through body dissatisfaction. Our findings emphasise that men attracted to men are at greater risk of poor body image and that body dissatisfaction is a pervasive health problem, negatively influencing subclinical health and well-being in cisgender men. We also highlight how body dissatisfaction may be one psychological process negatively influencing the psychological quality of life in men attracted to men. More resources should be directed toward preventing body dissatisfaction, particularly in sexual minoritised men.
Influence of vigilance performance on lifeguard gaze behaviour
Authors: Sharpe Benjamin T. , Smith Jenny
Published: August 2024

The present study sought to examine the gaze behaviours exhibited by lifeguards with different levels of experience while performing a task focused on detecting drowning incidents across extended periods. The results indicated a gradual decline in detection performance over time, regardless of the lifeguards' levels of experience. Analysis of the participants' gaze behaviours unveiled that this decline was associated with alterations in both the number and duration of fixations. The results indicated that lifeguards with greater experience maintained higher levels of detection performance and fixation numbers for extended durations, while exhibiting consistent fixation durations throughout the task, in contrast to their less experienced counterparts. These findings offer initial indications that lifeguards with more experience may possess an attentional advantage during tasks requiring sustained vigilance.
