Authors: BURDUJA Daniela , BACAL Petru
Published: February 2025

The Danube-Black Sea Hydrographic Space, spanning 6,500 km² or 19.2% of Moldova,
includes the river basins of Ialpug, Cogâlnic, Sărata, and Hadjider. This region faces considerable
challenges due to its limited water resources and its predominantly agrarian and rural character.
This study examines the distinctive aspects of water use in Danube-Black Sea Hydrographical
Space, assessing its role in Moldova’s overall water supply and the factors affecting its efficiency.
The research employs statistical, deductive, comparative, and cartographic methods, utilizing data
from the Moldovan Water Agency, the Inspectorate of Environmental Protection, the National Bu-
reau of Statistics, and the Moldova Water-Canal Association, in addition to watershed management
plans and relevant analytical studies. The Danube-Black Sea Hydrographical Space contributes
minimally to the water supply of the Republic of Moldova, with over 85% of water sourced from
groundwater due to the poor quality of surface water. Water use in the region is primarily agri-
cultural (58%), with 30% allocated for domestic purposes and only 3% for industrial use. While
there has been an increase in water use for technological and domestic needs, agricultural water
use shows fluctuating trends. The region’s strained water resources call for improved management
strategies to address its hydrological characteristics and the impacts of climate change, ensuring
sustainable water use and supporting local economic and environmental needs.

Published: February 2025

This paper aims to investigate the environmental impact of uncontrolled urban sprawl on the peri-urban Fagetul Clujului wooded area. This area is a partially conserved peri-urban forest and a ROSCI Natura 2000, located in the southwestern part of Cluj-Napoca Municipality in Romania. To assess the environmental impact, a standardized checklist based on national regulations and a modified rapid impact assessment matrix (RIAM) were used to obtain environmental scores for 30 key points in the area. The QGIS and IDW (Inverse Distance Weighting) methods were used to combine the main assessment scores to create a general impact map. The assessment outcomes confirm that there are significant negative impacts on environmental components in this peri-urban wooded area, such as abiotic and biotic components, in those peripheral areas that are recently built, developed, or expanding. This study provides an effective, transparent, and integrated methodology for assessing the impact of uncontrolled urban sprawl on the environment. It can help local decision-makers and experts in designing and developing sustainable strategies for environmental management and urban planning.

Published: February 2025

A dor pode ser definida como uma experiência subjetiva que pode estar associada a uma lesão real ou potencial nos tecidos, podendo ela ser descrita tanto em termos destas lesões quanto por ambas as características. Em relação ao tratamento da dor, os procedimentos neurocirúrgicos são indicados para a abordagem terapêutica da dor refratária ao tratamento farmacológico, terapia física, psicoterapia e aos bloqueios anestésicos. Estudos experimentais constataram que o córtex cingulado anterior está envolvido na percepção da dor, principalmente no componente afetivo. Dessa forma, a cingulotomia anterior é caraterizada por um procedimento neurocirúrgico ablativo do córtex cingulado anterior, utilizado principalmente no tratamento da dor crônica refratária à farmacoterapia. Assim, o presente estudo foi obtido por meio da seleção de artigos entre julho e agosto de 2024 nas seguintes bases de dados eletrônicos: Periódicos CAPES, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Virtual Health Library (PubMed) e ScienceDirect. Foram utilizados os descritores: “cingulotomy”, “pain” e “pain refractory”. Após a triagem, foram selecionados 5 artigos para o estudo. Os resultados deste estudo indicam uma correlação significativa entre a cingulotomia e a redução da dor crônica. Os dados revelam uma diminuição no escore VAS após o procedimento cirúrgico, sugerindo que a cingulotomia é eficaz para pacientes com dor refratária. No que tange às limitações, destaca-se o número limitado de artigos. Isto posto, futuras investigações devem focar na ampliação das amostras de estudo.

This research is conducted as an analytical discourse to determine and
evaluate the type of risks, present, in the business of the oil and gas
sector and further determine the frequency and severity of risk
occurrences and how they are also managed in this sector. The aim and
objectives also include assessing the effectiveness and efciency of risk
management skills, techniques and approaches present, in this sector,
choosing Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) as the case, for the
study. Both exploratory research method and qualitative research design
were adopted with the application of risk management methodology. This
however led to the conclusion that risk retention techniques are more
available in this sector than the risk transfer mechanism which further implies
that this sector is more interested in retaining and managing their various
risks internally rather than transferring them to insurance companies.
However, other physical risk control measures like minimization/reduction
and elimination/avoidance are also applied in this sector. The study
however revealed that different types of risks are involved in the business of
this sector and the frequency and severity of risk occurrences are equally high
and complex because of the business nature and capacity. This study nally
concluded that, oil rms are rather, more conservative with their kind of risk
management approach in Nigeria. Recommendations were nally made.

Deposit money banks play a vital role in the growth and development
process of an economy and they also act as financial intermediaries as
well as a key source of financing for businesses how well the Deposit
money banks perform can be affected by both internal and external factors.
The internal factors majorly entail the competition among banks while the
external factors include the nancial and macroeconomic conditions
surrounding a country. Therefore, this paper is to examine the impact of
selected macroeconomic variables on the performance of deposit money
banks in Nigeria to achieve this paper adopted the Fully Modied Ordinary
Least Squares (FMOLS) method to estimate the effect of selected
macroeconomic variables on deposit money banks in Nigeria. The ndings of
the FMOLS revealed that ination rate, unemployment rate, and economic
growth rate have positive impact on deposit money banks performance in
Nigeria. On the other hand, the interest rate has a negative and positive
impact on and this implies that deposit money banks performance in Nigeria
high interest rate hinders the improvement of deposit money banks
performance in Nigeria. Therefore, the paper recommended that the Central
Bank of Nigeria through legislation should reduce the rate of ination,
unemployment rate and interest rate to maintain its positive impact on
deposit money banks performance in Nigeria and in such a way to reduce the
cost of goods and services which will help to improve the deposit money
banks performance in Nigeria. Also, Federal Ministry of Finance should
increase the economic activities through effective management of the
productivity sector with respect to industrial incentive by increasing

Authors: Ataboh Adah , Dabish Naankar , Aigbedion I.
Published: February 2025

The motivation for this paper stems from the crucial role that
government expenditure plays in driving economic growth, especially
in developing economies like Nigeria. This paper specically
investigates the long-run impact of federal government service capital
expenditure on economic growth in Nigeria between 1986 and 2022. The
p a p e r e x a m i n e s h o w d i f f e r e n t c o m p o n e n t s o f c a p i t a l
expenditure—administrative services, economic services, and social and
community services affect economic growth over time. Using the
Autoregressive Distributed Lag model, the methodology facilitates the
exploration of both short- and long-term relationships between the
dependent and independent variables. The ndings revealed that while
certain components like social and community services signicantly
contribute to economic growth, others, such as total federal services, have a
negative impact. This outcome underscores the need for a more targeted and
efcient allocation of resources in capital expenditures. Based on these
ndings, the paper recommends that government agencies and departments
enhance the efciency of capital outlays in sectors that directly impact
economic growth, such as infrastructure, while minimizing inefciencies and
focusing on productive expenditures to drive sustainable development in
Nigeria.

Authors: O. V. Sadibo
Published: February 2025

This study examines how stock market in a few Sub-Saharan African
(SSA) nations—Nigeria, Cameroon, South Africa, and Kenya—are
affected by currency devaluation. Currency devaluation is a tactic
used by policymakers to encourage economic growth in developing region.
With an emphasis on the stock market returns of these SSA nations, the goal of
this study is to ascertain if such devaluations have an expansionary or
contractionary effect on their economies. This study adopts the Arbitrage
Pricing Theory (APT) to investigate the relationship between currency
depreciation and stock market returns using a dataset that spans the years
2003 to 2023 and is derived from the World Bank Development Index (WDI)
and other credible sources. Panel cointegration tests and the Dumitrescu-
Hurlin panel Granger causality test are used in the analysis to determine the
direction of causality. Based on the distinct nancial systems and governance
frameworks of each country, the research ndings indicate that the effects of
currency devaluation on stock market returns in SSA nations are complex.
The research emphasizes the need for tailored and national policy strategies
that target improving stock market performance and overall economic
expansion. These observations provide crucial advice for nancial
stakeholders and policymakers in SSA, highlighting the signicance of
strategic economic planning and policy implementation to cater for the
unique circumstances of each nation.

Novel diagnostics for improved treatment of gynecological cancer
Authors: Gyllensten Ulf
Published: February 2025

This paper summarizes the efforts to develop novel biomarkers for diagnosis and screening of the three main gynecological cancers, cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancer, with an emphasis on research performed during the last 20 years in Uppsala. A cervical cancer screening program has existed in Sweden since 1966 using cytology as the primary test. Over the last two decades, research has provided the scientific base for a transition to self-sampling to improve convenience of the woman and achieve higher population coverage, and use of human papillomavirus as the primary test. Also, efficient prophylactic vaccines and more efficient treatment strategies of women with cervical dysplasia have been introduced. Together, these medical tools have the potential to eradicate cervical cancer by 2120, as envisaged by WHO. By contrast, efficient biomarkers for endometrial and ovarian cancer are still lacking. Through the use of high-throughput proteomics, we have identified novel plasma protein biomarkers to be used in the diagnosis of women with adnexal ovarian mass upon transvaginal ultrasound, and possibly also for early detection in population screening. Similarly, novel biomarkers for the diagnosis of endometrial cancer are being evaluated. To establish a population-based screening program requires careful cost-benefit analyses. One alternative would be to broaden the focus of the current cervical cancer screening program to include also the novel biomarkers for ovarian and endometrial cancer, and thereby achieve screening for all three gynecological cancers. A program that screens for all three diseases could increase motivation to participate and thereby population coverage.

Authors: Jaromin Joanna , Markiewicz-Łoskot Grażyna , Szydłowski Lesław , Kulawik Agnieszka , Chlebowczyk Agnieszka , Moric-Janiszewska Ewa
Published: February 2025

Introduction

In clinical diagnosis, electrocardiographic repolarization abnormalities with prolongation of QT and especially TpTe intervals are important for assessing the risk of malignant ventricular arrhythmias. The aim of the study was to compare the electrocardiological values of repolarization parameters in children with and without arrhythmias, according to body weight.

Material and methods

Repolarization parameters were compared in a group of children with excessive and normal body weight (BMI, Cole’s index) with ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias and in another group of children (matched for age and sex, with no arrhythmia and with normal weight) as the control group. The repolarization parameters TpTe, QTp and QT interval corrected Bazett (QTcB) and Fridericia (QTcF) formulas were measured in lead V5 of the 12-lead ECG.

Results

The durations of TpTe and QTcF intervals were significantly longer in children with ventricular arrhythmias with abnormal body weight compared to children with supraventricular arrhythmias with abnormal body weight. Comparing children with normal weight between the ventricular and supraventricular groups, significant prolongation of only the TpTe interval was observed. Moreover, there were statistically significant differences (p < 0.0001) in the TpTe interval among the 5 groups: children with ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmia with abnormal and normal weight, as well as the control group depending on BMI and Cole’s index.

Conclusions

In children with ventricular arrhythmia, only the TpTe parameter was significantly longer compared to children with supraventricular arrhythmia and children without arrhythmia, regardless of body weight. In children with arrhythmia, regardless of body weight, the TpTe parameter should be measured in addition to routine QT. Further studies on a larger scale are needed to assess the clinical importance of the TpTe interval in children with arrhythmias and excessive body weight.
An Assessment on Balkan Historiography
Authors: Macit Abdülkadir
Published: February 2025

In addition to their own originality in historiography, Muslims inherited the accumulation of ancient civilizational basins such as Hijaz, Bilad al-Sham, Egypt, Maghreb, Andalusia, Iraq, Iran, Sindh and Mawara' al-Nahr. They created a wide variety of genres by making it more systematic and methodological. The Muslim historiography of the 7th-10th centuries, which harmoniously combines authenticity and heritage, was in contact with the Balkans indirectly through the Byzantine Empire during this period. However, its main impact and contribution to the basin was in the 11th-18th centuries, when it continued its development in historiography. During this period, Muslims, especially the Ottomans, who established political dominance in the region modeled the historiography, which had completed its development and developed a methodology, in the basin and brought an era to the activities of the basin in the field of historiography. The historiography, which was based on the narration of either the history of empires or the history of emperors in the form of special histories, has changed and developed with the methodology and model developed by Muslims. İn this regard, they created a great linguistic richness in the basin with Ottoman Turkish, provided diversity through the four main genres of siyar and maghazi, general, special, city and regional histories, and established a close relationship between administrations and historians. As a result, the Balkans have made great progress with the strong contribution and influence of Muslims in historiography. This study deals with the process of historiography in the Balkans in a comprehensive manner. These issues are discussed through more than four hundred historiographers and historical sources, mostly based on historiographical studies available in Turkish and taking into account the activities of the Ottoman Empire, a dynasty of six centuries. The main significance of this study is that it takes the step of presenting the strong contribution and influence of Muslims in historiography in the Balkans, which developed especially until the 19th century, in a holistic manner. The aim of this study is to increase the interest in Balkans studies, which is constantly developing in our country, and to attempt to unearth the huge heritage in the field of historiography.

Authors: Mário Jota Julião , Gero Manuela de Rosária
Published: February 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered education, requiring greater parental involvement in the learning process. However, after the return to in-person classes, a decline in this engagement was observed. This study analyzed the challenges and prospects of parental participation in post-pandemic primary education, focusing on Escola Básica 25 de Junho in Chemba. A qualitative and quantitative approach was adopted, using questionnaires and interviews with parents, guardians, and teachers. The results indicate that despite recognizing the importance of parental involvement, factors such as lack of time, financial difficulties, and communication failures with the school hinder this engagement. Additionally, teachers reported challenges in mobilizing parents to actively participate in their children’s education. It is concluded that parental participation needs to be reinforced through strategies such as accessible meetings, improved school-family communication, and training programs for guardians. As a limitation, the study was conducted in a single context, restricting the generalization of findings. Future research may explore the impact of parental involvement on academic performance and test new strategies to strengthen this collaboration.

This study investigates the characteristics of post-chemotherapy side effects in patients with nasopharyngeal cancer at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital in Makassar during 2023. Utilizing secondary data, the research analyzes the prevalence of side effects based on gender and age. The findings reveal that male patients predominantly experience gastrointestinal (11.6%) and respiratory (16.8%) side effects, while female patients report higher rates of neuropathy (22.2%). In terms of age, adults exhibit the highest prevalence of gastrointestinal effects (12.1%) and combined effects (5.3%), whereas adolescents show significant rates of neuropathy (40.0%) and respiratory complications (60.0%). Elderly patients experience similar gastrointestinal and neuropathic toxicities (17.3% each), but at lower frequencies. Notably, no cases of nasopharyngeal cancer were reported in toddlers and children, indicating that this malignancy primarily affects older age groups. The study underscores the need for increased public awareness regarding nasopharyngeal cancer, particularly among vulnerable demographics, to promote early detection and prevention. Additionally, enhancing public knowledge about nasopharyngeal cancer and its risk factors is crucial for better understanding and management of the disease. Future research should focus on elaborating the specific side effects associated with each affected system to provide comprehensive insights into the impact of chemotherapy on nasopharyngeal cancer patients. Overall, this study contributes valuable information to the understanding of chemotherapy-related side effects in nasopharyngeal cancer, emphasizing the importance of tailored management strategies to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

Published: February 2025

Background: Gene Therapy Has Emerged As A Promising Approach In The Treatment Of Urological Cancers, Including Prostate, Kidney, And Bladder Cancers. Over The Past Decade, Significant Advancements Have Been Made In Gene Editing Technologies Such As Crispr-Cas9, Rna-Based Therapies, And Viral Vector Systems. These Innovations Offer Precise Targeting Of Oncogenes And Tumor Suppressor Genes, Potentially Improving Treatment Efficacy And Reducing Adverse Effects Compared To Conventional Therapies. Methods: A Systematic Content Analysis Was Conducted On Peer-Reviewed Literature And Clinical Trial Reports From 2015 To 2025. Databases Such As Pubmed, Sciencedirect, And Scopus Were Used To Extract Relevant Studies. Inclusion Criteria Encompassed Original Research Articles, Systematic Reviews, And Clinical Trials Focused On Gene Therapy Applications In Prostate, Kidney, And Bladder Cancer. Studies Exclusively Conducted On In Vitro Or Animal Models Without Clinical Relevance Were Excluded. Results: Crispr-Cas9 Has Demonstrated High Precision In Gene Editing, Particularly In Prostate Cancer, Where Targeting Androgen Receptor-Related Genes Has Enhanced Hormone Therapy Sensitivity. Rna Therapy, Especially Using Sirna Targeting Vegf And Hif-1α, Has Shown Promise In Kidney Cancer Treatment By Inhibiting Angiogenesis. Viral Vectors Remain A Primary Method For Gene Delivery In Bladder Cancer, Although Immune Responses Pose A Significant Challenge. Clinical Trials Indicate That Gene Therapy Combined With Immunotherapy, Particularly Checkpoint Inhibitors Like Pembrolizumab, Enhances Treatment Efficacy. However, Regulatory Barriers, High Costs (Estimated At Over $500,000 Per Patient), And Safety Concerns Regarding Off-Target Effects Remain Major Obstacles To Widespread Clinical Implementation. Conclusion: Despite These Challenges, Gene Therapy Holds Great Potential For Revolutionizing Urological Cancer Treatment. Future Research Should Focus On Optimizing Gene Delivery Systems, Reducing Off-Target Risks, And Developing Cost-Effective Production Methods. Personalized Gene Therapy Approaches, Leveraging Advancements In Genomic Sequencing, Are Expected To Further Enhance Treatment Precision. With Continued Innovation And Regulatory Advancements, Gene Therapy Is Anticipated To Become An Integral Part Of Standard Urological Cancer Care In The Coming Decade.
Wikipedia’s Governance Challenge: Policies and Guardrails for New Generative AI Technologies
Authors: Harrison Stephen
Published: February 2025

The Wikipedia editing community is struggling with the emergence of new generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies such as ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs). Should the volunteer editors who create and maintain Wikipedia’s articles be permitted to use new generative AI tools, or should they be prohibited because of the high risk of introducing misinformation into the popular internet encyclopedia?
The benefits of active transportation interventions: A review of the evidence
Authors: Fitch-Polse Dillon , Agarwal Swati
Published: February 2025

Interventions to promote active travel (walking and bicycling) have manifold societal benefits. This study reviews the benefits of active travel infrastructure (e.g., painted bicycle lane, pedestrian refuge island) and programmatic interventions (e.g., bike share program), synthesizes the effects by outcome categories and provides a summary of the effects, and quantifies the effects where possible. We cite 236 studies on intervention-specific findings. Additional evidence is used to synthesize the benefits of active travel interventions into different benefit categories including safety, physical activity, reduction in vehicle miles traveled and emissions, other health effects, and economic activity. There is relatively more evidence in the literature on safety effects and changes in bicycling and walking associated with active transportation interventions than on other effects such as changes in physical activity and vehicle miles traveled. In general, we find strong evidence for wide ranging societal benefits from active transportation interventions that increase public health and transportation system sustainability in cost-effective ways. Variation in effects is substantial for most infrastructure interventions, likely due to the wide variety of land use, environmental, cultural, and political contexts, as well as the wide variety of research methods and analyses employed across a diverse set of academic fields. The existing local transportation infrastructure and land-use patterns are especially likely to moderate the effects of active transportation interventions. This suggests that it is necessary to keep the local context in mind when evaluating the effects of specific interventions.
« Toute poétique est une politique. » L’exemple de Leslie Kaplan et François Bon
Authors: NASRALLI Abdelhamid
Published: February 2025

Notre travail vise à inscrire la pensée littéraire de Leslie Kaplan et François Bon dans une pensée politique à travers l’étude de leurs poétiques qui portent à la fois une vision et une contestation de l’ordre établi. En effet, les textes de Kaplan et de Bon mettent en scène l’effacement progressif du social et, par voie de conséquence, des individus devenus des fantômes de la politique. Face à ce déni systématique, les deux écrivains choisissent d’aborder la société par sa violence en allant chercher leurs propres mots dans la parole précaire des gens ordinaires. Nous verrons comment cette parole, qui n’était qu’un simple « bruit », change les personnages en se hissant au rang de discours visant à réintroduire de la complexité dans l’événement social et politique.
Antagonismos en la Europa revolucionaria: de Kant y Fichte a Napoleón y Constant
Authors: Leiva Bustos Javier
Published: February 2025

Antes incluso de la distinción schmittiana entre «amigo» y «enemigo» en El concepto de lo político (1927), la idea del antagonismo, de un enemigo al que combatir, subyacía ya en muchos de los planteamientos realizados en torno a la Revolución francesa. Así las cosas, el objetivo del presente artículo, a través de un enfoque de filosofía de la historia, es sacar a la luz dicha concepción de antagonismo y retratar una panorámica de cómo éste se encontraba presente no sólo durante el periodo revolucionario, sino también previamente a finales de la Ilustración, en pensadores como Kant y Fichte, y más tarde en la época imperial, reflejado en el enfrentamiento entre el establecido y más tarde derrocado Imperio napoleónico y el emergente liberalismo guiado por Benjamin Constant.
