Raising awareness of recurrent cystitis among women
Authors: Ahn Sun Tae , Lee Seung Ju , Oh Mi Mi
Published: July 2023

Background: Recurrent cystitis is a common condition affecting women, often causing discomfort and negatively impacting their quality of life. Despite the high level of morbidity, this condition is frequently overlooked due to relatively low fatality rate. This lack of adequate awareness about recurrent cystitis has led to increased healthcare costs, inappropriate utilization of medical resources, and growing antibiotic resistance. Therefore, there is an urgent need to raise awareness and improve the strategies employed for managing recurrent cystitis.Current Concepts: The socioeconomic burden imposed by recurrent cystitis is substantial, with billions of dollars spent worldwide every year on its diagnosis and treatment. Unnecessary emergency room visits and loss of labor due to illness further exacerbate the costs. Additionally, recurrent cystitis significantly diminishes patients’ quality of life, leading to psychological challenges such as anxiety and depression. Recent research has highlighted the importance of identifying underlying conditions and modifying lifestyle behaviors, in addition to actual treatment, to improve patients’ quality of life.Discussion and Conclusion: It is important to implement various strategies to raise awareness and foster interest in recurrent cystitis. These include patient education, public awareness campaigns, healthcare professional training, online resources, and research collaboration. By increasing awareness and adopting a proactive approach to managing recurrent cystitis, we can improve patient outcomes and enhance the overall efficiency of the healthcare system, ultimately benefiting patients, medical staff, and society as a whole.
Renal diseases causing hematuria
Authors: Kim Hyo Jin , Jeong Jong Cheol
Published: July 2023

Background: Hematuria is a common laboratory finding in clinical practice, occurring mostly in the kidneys. However, it can occur in the rest of the urinary system, including the ureters, bladder, and urethra, as well as in the prostate in men. This paper will discuss cases of hematuria observed in various diseases, especially kidney disease.Current Concepts: Hematuria is diagnosed when three or more red blood cells are found in a high-power field microscopic urinalysis. Identifying urine sediment is critical in differentiating between glomerular and nonglomerular hematuria, classified according to location. If hematuria is accompanied by proteinuria, dysmorphic red blood cells, or cellular casts in urine microscopy, as well as hypertension or renal function decline, glomerular disease may be present; thus, a nephrologist should be consulted. Hematuria is also observed in renal vascular diseases, including renal infarction, renal artery dissection, and nutcracker syndrome. In polycystic kidney disease, hematuria may present in combination with renal stones or malignancy. Diabetic nephropathy can manifest hematuria, which is a negative prognosticator of end-stage kidney disease.Discussion and Conclusion: Hematuria is a laboratory finding for various diseases, and appropriate diagnosis and treatment should be provided according to its clinical features.
Benign urologic diseases that cause hematuria
Authors: Tae Bum Sik
Published: July 2023

Background: Hematuria is defined by the presence of red blood cells in the urine, usually treated by primary care physicians. Various urologic conditions cause this common finding. While malignancies are often considered in the differential diagnosis, benign urologic conditions also need to be recognized as potential causes of hematuria. A better understanding of these benign conditions can help avoid unnecessary diagnostic procedures and improve patient outcomes.Current Concepts: This review provides an overview of the current concepts regarding benign urologic conditions associated with hematuria. These include urinary tract infections, urolithiasis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, vascular conditions affecting the urinary tract, and hemorrhagic cystitis. Based on the latest literature, we discuss the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and management options for each benign condition.Discussion and Conclusion: Clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and management of each condition are discussed. A comprehensive understanding of these benign urologic conditions is essential for accurately diagnosing and effectively managing hematuria.

Traditional Milking Hygiene Practices and their Effect on Raw Milk Quality of Rural Small-Scale Dairy Farmers in Kwa-Hlabisa, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Authors: Xulu Nkosinathi , Naidoo Krishna
Published: July 2023

This study examines the impact of traditional hygienic milking practices employed by rural small-scale dairy farmers on the quality of raw milk. While advancements in technology have revolutionized hygienic milk production methods for both small- and large-scale farmers, rural small-scale milk producers, particularly in countries like Zimbabwe, continue to rely heavily on hand milking as their primary method of milk harvesting. To investigate this issue, a convergent parallel mixed research approach was utilized, involving face-to-face interviews with 53 selected rural small-scale dairy farmers using a structured questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive, frequency, chi-square, and cross-tabulation analyses. The findings revealed that participants aged 50 and above constituted the majority (58.5%) and were more likely to report low income. Additionally, households with 8 to 11 members (38%) and those with no formal education (18.9%) were also more likely to report low income. Several parameters were identified as significantly affecting milk quality (p < 0.05), including hand washing after milking, back leg tying, washing of milking utensils, use of towels, teat dipping, milking when sick, covering of milk, mixing of fresh and old milk, and lack of milk pasteurization before consumption. The study concludes that traditional hygiene practices contribute to milk contamination by rural small-scale dairy farmers, compromising the quality of raw milk. To support these farmers, interventions such as the provision of a dairy extension officer, practical workshops, incentives, entrepreneurial skills training, and farmer-to-farmer visits are recommended.

Published: July 2023

A relevant environmental problem in cities is the increased concentration of some heavy metals in soils. Heavy metals come to the soil from natural and anthropogenic sources. Emissions from industry, transport, and fertilizers are anthropogenic sources. In the soil, heavy metals are bound by carrier phases: organic matter, clay minerals, sulfur compounds, oxides and hydroxides of iron and manganese. Highly magnetic iron-bearing minerals are concentrators of heavy metals in soils. The aim of the study is to characterize the features of the elemental chemical composition of the Urbic soils and its magnetic phase of the industrial city Gubakha, Perm region (Russia). We used the background soils, the clarke of the lithosphere, and the clarke of the soils of the world to assess the ecological-geochemical role of the magnetic phase in the accumulation of heavy metals. The magnetic phase is rich in Fe, Ni, Cu, Cr, and Zn. The Urbic Technosol Loamic, Skeletic of the city Gubakha is contaminated with Cu, Cr, Ni, and Zn. Ecological-geochemical monitoring of the soil cover by the method of ecological magnetism is relevant in the territory of the cities.

Financial management is an administrative activity related to budget planning, storing, using, recording and monitoring the entry and exit of money or organizational funds.

Inventory analysis is an activity to examine an asset issue that includes goods. Turn over inventory is the ratio between the total cost of goods sold and the average value of inventory owned by the company. in the process of managing finances and inventories, it is still carried out using a recording system in a ledger, so it is less effective. Therefore the author will develop a form of information system by selecting CV. Arris AC as research object.

Based on the problems that occur in CV. Arris AC, the authors provide a solution that can overcome weaknesses by creating an Accounting Information System for Financial Management and Inventory Analysis using the inventory turnover ratio method which can be accessed via the web.

In other words, this ratio describes how fast inventory rotates.

Cost of goods manufactured (COGM) is an important component of making a product, because knowing the COGM of a product can be used as a reference to determine the profit margin of a product. Without knowing the COGM of a product, we will be confused in determining the selling price. The COGM calculation is very influential for the sale of a product whether the product is experiencing a profit or loss.

This study aims to determine the COGM calculations that have been carried out by MSMEs are in accordance with COGM accounting calculations or are still only limited to manual calculations. In addition, the main objective of this study is to design an accounting system for determining COGM in the Tempe Chips Industry in determining the cost of production and to apply a variable costing method to determine the cost of goods manufactured in SMEs so that the correct cost of production can be presented.

The results of this study indicate that based on Cost of goods manufactured calculations carried out by MSME actors it is still very low so it is necessary to revamp the HPP calculations in accordance with accounting standards. Based on the evaluation of the old system, the author wishes to offer a new system, namely the Information System for Determining the Cost of Production of Tempe Chips SMEs which is expected to be an alternative in solving problems that are being faced by business owners. This new system makes it easy for users related to the process of recording data into the database, so that related parties can easily operate.
Efficient collocation of global navigation satellite system radio occultation soundings with passive nadir microwave soundings
Authors: Meredith Alex , Leroy Stephen , Halperin Lucy , Cahoy Kerri
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Radio occultation (RO) using the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) can be used to infer atmospheric profiles of microwave refractivity in the Earth's atmosphere. GNSS RO data are now assimilated into numerical weather prediction models and used for climate monitoring. New remote sensing applications are being considered that fuse GNSS RO soundings and passive nadir-scanned radiance soundings. Collocating RO soundings and nadir-scanned radiance soundings, however, is computationally expensive, especially as new commercial GNSS RO constellations greatly increase the number of global daily RO soundings. This paper develops a new and efficient technique, called the “rotation–collocation method”, for collocating RO and nadir-scanned radiance soundings in which all soundings are rotated into the time-dependent reference frame in which the nadir sounder's scan pattern is stationary. Collocations with RO soundings are then found when the track of an RO sounding crosses the line corresponding to the nadir sounder's scan pattern. When applied to finding collocations between RO soundings from COSMIC-2, Metop-B-GRAS, and Metop-C-GRAS and the passive microwave (MW) soundings of the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) on NOAA-20 and Suomi-NPP and the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU-A) on Metop-B and Metop-C for the month of January 2021, the rotation–collocation method proves to be 99.0 % accurate and is hundreds to thousands of times faster than traditional approaches to finding collocations.

Abstract. The identification of spikes (i.e. short and high variability in the measured signals due to very local emissions occurring in the proximity of a measurement site) is of interest when using continuous measurements of atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs) in different applications like the determination of long-term trends and/or spatial gradients, the inversion experiments devoted to the top-down quantification of GHG surface-atmosphere fluxes, the characterization of local emissions or the quality control of GHG measurements. In this work, we analysed the results provided by two automatic spike identification methods (i.e. the standard deviation of the background - SD and the robust extraction of baseline signal - REBS) for a 2-year dataset of 1-minute in-situ observations of CO2, CH4 and CO at ten different atmospheric sites spanning different environmental conditions (remote, continental, urban). The sensitivity of the spike detection frequency and its impact on the averaged mole fractions on method parameters was investigated. Results for both methods were compared and evaluated against manual identification of the site Principal Investigators (PIs). The study showed that, for CO2 and CH4, REBS identified a larger number of spikes than SD and it was less “site-sensitive” than SD. This led to a larger impact of REBS on the time-averaged values of the observed mole fractions for CO2 and CH4. Further, it could be shown that it is challenging to identify one common algorithm/configuration for all the considered sites: method-dependent and setting-dependent differences in the spike detection were observed as a function of the sites, case studies and considered atmospheric species. Neither SD nor REBS appeared to provide a perfect identification of the spike events. The REBS tendency to over-detect the spike occurrence shows limitations when adopting REBS as an operational method to perform automatic spike detection. REBS should be used only for specific sites, mostly affected by frequent very nearby local emissions. SD appeared to be more selective in identifying spike events and the temporal variabilities of CO2, CH4 and CO were more consistent with that of the original datasets. Further activities are needed for better consolidating the fitness for purposes of the two proposed methods and to compare them with other spike detection techniques.
Inversion of extensional basins parallel and oblique to their boundaries: inferences from analogue models and field observations from the Dolomites Indenter, European eastern Southern Alps
Authors: Sieberer Anna-Katharina , Willingshofer Ernst , Klotz Thomas , Ortner Hugo , Pomella Hannah
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Polyphase deformation of continental crust is analysed
through physical analogue models for settings wherein platform–basin
geometries at passive continental margins are subject to subsequent
shortening and orogenesis. In a first stage, segmentation of the brittle and
brittle–ductile models into basins and platforms is achieved by extension.
Basins are partly filled with brittle material to allow for a strength
difference between basin and platform realms, simulating relatively weaker,
incompetent deposits of grabens surrounded by competent pre-rift basement or
carbonate platform rock, respectively. In a second stage of deformation,
contraction parallel and oblique (10 to 20∘) to the basin axes has
been applied, leading to the inversion of basins formed earlier. The
experiments show that strength contrasts across platform–basin transitions
control the localisation and overall style of compressional deformation,
irrespective of the nature of the basal décollement (frictional versus
viscous), the rheology of the basin fill, or changing platform–basin
thickness ratios. Orientations of thrust faults change laterally across
inherited platform–basin transitions throughout all experiments; higher
obliquity of basin inversion leads to stronger alignment of thrust curvature
with the orientation of pre-existing rift axes. At individual thrust faults,
variations in the strike of thrust fronts are accompanied by changes in
the shortening direction during incremental phases of deformation.
Reactivation of normal faults occurs in oblique basin inversion settings
only, favourably at platform–basin transitions where the normal faults face
the shortening direction. The amount and style of fault reactivation depend
on the material used. Our experiments are relevant for natural cases such as
the Dolomites Indenter of the eastern Southern Alps, underlining the
importance of inherited geologic features for the subsequent shortening
geometries. Field structural data from the western segment of the Belluno
thrust of the Valsugana fault system support predicted variations of thrust
fault orientation and a lateral change in shortening direction (from SSW to
SSE along-strike) along one single fault. Based on our modelling results, we
suggest that this variability of thrust fault orientation and shortening
directions, controlled by inherited structures, is consistent with strain
partitioning during a single phase of deformation and does not necessarily
reflect different deformation phases.
The impact of surface melt rate and catchment characteristics on Greenland Ice Sheet moulin inputs
Authors: Hill Tim , Dow Christine F.
Published: July 2023

Abstract. The supraglacial drainage system of the Greenland Ice Sheet, in combination with surface melt rate, controls the rate of water flow into moulins, a major driver of subglacial water pressure. We apply the Subaerial Drainage System (SaDS) model, a physically based surface meltwater flow model, to a ∼20×27km2 catchment on the southwestern Greenland Ice Sheet for 4 years of melt forcing (2011, 2012, 2015, and 2016) to (1) examine the relationship between surface melt rate and the rate, diurnal amplitude, and timing of surface inputs to moulins; (2) compare SaDS to contemporary models; and (3) present a framework for selecting appropriate supraglacial drainage models for different modelling objectives. We find that variations in the rate and timing of modelled moulin inputs related to the development of supraglacial channels are relatively more important in years with low melt volumes than years with high melt volumes. We suggest that a process-resolving supraglacial hydrology model (e.g., SaDS) should be considered when modelling outcomes are sensitive to subdiurnal and long-term seasonal changes in the rate of discharge into moulins.

Abstract. The Svalbard archipelago is particularly sensitive to climate change due to the relatively low altitude of its main ice fields and its geographical location in the higher North Atlantic, where the effect of the Arctic Amplification is more significant. The largest temperature increases have been observed during winter, but increasing summer temperatures, above the melting point, have led to increased glacier melt. Here, we evaluate the impact of this increased melt on the preservation of the oxygen isotope signal (δ18O) in firn records. δ18O is commonly used as proxy for past atmospheric temperature reconstructions and, when preserved, it is a crucial parameter to date and align ice cores. By comparing four different firn cores collected in 2012, 2015, 2017 and 2019 at the top of the Holtedahlfonna ice field (1100 m. a.s.l.), we show a progressive deterioration of the isotope signal and we link its degradation to the increased occurrence and intensity of melt events. Although the δ18O signal still reflects the interannual temperature trend, more frequent melting events may in the future affect the interpretation of the isotopic signal, compromising the use of Svalbard ice cores. Our findings highlight the impact and the speed at which Arctic Amplification is affecting Svalbard's cryosphere.

On the Use of Wireless Technologies for Wildlife Monitoring: Wireless Sensor Network Routing Protocols
Authors: Mutalemwa Lilian
Published: July 2023

Traditional methods for wildlife monitoring are labor-intensive and time-consuming. Therefore, advanced technologies and remote monitoring methods are becoming increasingly popular. This paper presents a study on wireless technologies for wildlife monitoring. In the study, a review of the literature was done to identify the most commonly used wireless technologies. Various technologies were explored including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), Internet of Things (IoT), wireless sensor networks (WSNs), artificial intelligence (AI), global positioning system (GPS), and very high frequency (VHF) radio. Then, a more detailed study was done on WSN technology. Investigations were done to observe the performance of routing protocols in WSNs. The use of source location privacy (SLP) routing protocols was considered for secure wildlife monitoring in areas such as game reserves. In such areas, sensor node energy consumption minimization and battery lifetime maximization are crucial. Hence, energy-efficient SLP protocols are more suitable for deployment. Using MATLAB simulation environment, performance analysis of various phantom- based SLP protocols was done to identify effective and energy-efficient SLP protocols. Simulation results show that two-level phantom with a backbone route protocol (TBP) and phantom with angle protocol (PAP) exhibit advantageous performance features in terms of SLP protection, energy efficiency, effective long-term SLP protection, and scalability. Thus, TBP and PAP are suitable for deployment in wildlife monitoring WSNs.
Product Costing and Pricing in Small and Medium Enterprises in Tanzania

Published: July 2023

This paper reports on a study that was conducted on twenty (20) metalwork small and medium enterprises located in Dar es Salaam with the aim of establishing methods used by SMEs in Tanzania in setting selling prices of their products. The study was necessitated by the apparent discrepancy of prices for similar products from SMEs. The approach used to gather information was mainly through direct interview and the use of questionnaires. Direct observation and literature review were also used to establish the whole costing and pricing practices in metal manufacturing SMEs. The findings of the study established that product selling practices of the surveyed SMEs were based on instinct and appearance of the buyer rather than using systematic approaches of establishing production costs and adding reasonable profit margins. It was further indicated that the product costing practices used by SMEs resulted in under-pricing or over- pricing of products, which subsequently led to unreliable markets for the products. Based on the findings of the study, a costing system was formulated aiming at assisting SMEs in setting prices for their products. However, further studies are needed to expand the information in the formulated costing system leading to a comprehensive costing system to cater for all activities of SMEs.
The idea of public administration responsibility: origins and evolution
Authors: Sevcenco Igor
Published: July 2023

Legal liability is rightly considered one of the central institutions of the law, as it is directly related to the purposes of the law, to their realization. It is known that the adoption of legal norms is not an end in itself, but only the first mandatory stage of the process of legal regulation of social relations. The next stage is the implementation of the provisions of the legal norms. Otherwise, legal norms would lose their meaning and social purpose. This article reflects a historical retrospective on the idea of the responsibility of the state and its organs, both under repressive and reparative aspects. The focus is on the origins of this idea, how it evolved in some European states, as well as in the territory of the Republic of Moldova. Finally, it is concluded that the idea of the responsibility of the state and its organs appeared simultaneously with the idea of the rule of law, since only under the conditions of such a state is it possible to realize the idea in question. At the same time, the lack of an effective mechanism to hold the state and its authorities accountable indicates the non-existence of the rule of law.
The impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war on international relations
Authors: Cebotari Svetlana
Published: July 2023

The Russian-Ukrainian war is not just a regional war. It is the war that marks a rupture in relations between Russia and the West, a war that will have profound repercussions for both Europe and the world. The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation tends to become the most important military conflict since the end of World War II. This article aims to highlight the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war on the system of international relations. Thus, the actions of the Russian Federation in Ukraine and the response of the West will accelerate the process of restructuring a new system of international relations. From the new situation conditioned by the Russian-Ukrainian war, the United States and China will become the main actors that will form the new architecture of international relations. The war in Ukraine that we are witnessing also shows the growing strength of EU and NATO unity. We are moving to a new geopolitical order in which the EU strengthens its role as a defender of democratic values, peace and international law.
The innovative contribution of kantian thinking in the history of political ideas
Authors: Gorincioi Iulia
Published: July 2023

In the material below, the author brings in a well-structured and systematized form of the strong arguments about the place and role of Classical German Philosophy in the History of Political Ideas: the economic recovery and poor integration of the states of Germany under the blow of Napoleon’s occupational wars by German thinkers, some innovations in knowledge of German philosophers, the lessons imposed by the experience of the franchise revolution to the German bourgeoisie, its fear of its own people and pushing it to compromise with the aristocracy. On the other hand, German ideology in the new space of religious tolerance between Catholics and Protestants created favorable conditions for the development of abstract-theoretical thinking, as it freed philosophy from the need to depend entirely on religious dogma, but also alienating it from the necessities of practice. In these critical conditions of the previous theories and of elaboration of a new theoretical-methodological foundation of knowledge, the new political-philosophical movement is initiated, known as the classical German philosophy, which will strongly mark the modern political thinking. The founder of this movement will be the famous philosopher and great innovator of German thought in modern times Immanuel Kant, who will make an essential turn in political thought, will strongly mark the Western modern society and will be the basis of the most important modern political and contemporary ideas.
Professional stress and emotional stability of election officials during the COVID-19 pandemic. The experience of the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Iatco Mariana , Berlinschi Cristina
Published: July 2023

States around the world have seriously faced the COVID-19 pandemic in the year 2020, which, in addition to significant public health concerns, has created problems in the organization and conduct of elections. As demonstrated in this study, one of the general problems was the conduct of elections and ensuring the constitutional right to vote in the context of the pandemic, while maintaining the safety and health of electoral officials and minimizing public health risks. There is no doubt that these are the two aspects that the electoral authorities had to think about the most when organizing electoral processes, seeking a balance between democratic rights and health risks. The Covid-19 pandemic continues to be a challenge for the exercise of representative democracy, and the organization of elections is becoming increasingly vulnerable and stressful in pandemic conditions. The electoral officials are the ones who, on the front line, had to ensure that the presidential and parliamentary elections were held in working conditions that are alert for their health and safety. The risks of contamination with the COVID-19 virus in the workplace have generated a change in their mental, physical and emotional state. These aspects are elements of professional stress, given that until the pandemic, electoral officials were used to a type of behavior at work (electoral offices).
