Published: December 2024

This study aimed to characterize the physical activity levels and their association with healthy and unhealthy behaviors in adolescent students in Chile. It was a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and descriptive study. The non-probabilistic sample consisted of 175 high school students from public schools (n=103 females, age: 14.4±1.48 years; n=72 males, age: 14.2±1.56 years) who completed the World Health Organization's Global School-based Student Health Survey during the second semester of the year 2023. The main findings revealed a 32.5% prevalence of overweight and obesity and an 8.6% compliance with the World Health Organization physical activity recommendation. Those who engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day show higher consumption of fruits and vegetables and fewer absences from classes, while those who use active transportation also demonstrate higher consumption of fruits and vegetables. Adolescent students are mostly physically inactive, with a higher level of inactivity among females, and those who met the physical activity recommendations consumed more fruits and vegetables than those who did not. From a gender perspective, females exhibited higher drug and marijuana consumption, increased feelings of loneliness, worry, suicidal ideation, and higher rates of absenteeism compared to males. These results highlight the necessity of developing intervention strategies targeting the adolescent school population with a gender perspective, focusing on promoting physical activity, active transportation, as well as healthy habits in both physical and mental domains.
Different sources of non-fibrous carbohydrates for lactating goats
Authors:   , Castro Maria Samires Martins
Published: December 2024

Carbohydrates are the most abundant biomolecules in nature and account for 70 to 80% of ruminant diets. Among the classifications, non-fibrous carbohydrates have been commonly used to increase milk production. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the use of non-fibrous carbohydrates (NFC), such as cornmeal, pre-gelatinized corn, citrus pulp and sucrose, on nutrient intake, digestibility, milk yield and composition in lactating dairy goats. Twenty-nine primiparous (11) and multiparous (18) lactating Saanen and Alpine goats (2.8 ± 0.27 kg.d-1 milk; 55.4 ± 1.8 kg body weight) were used in this study. The goats were distributed in eight pens with four animals each, with the pen being the experimental unit and the animals being the observational units, and in four diets in a 4×4 balanced double Latin square design, with four periods of 21 days each. During the first period of the experiment, three goats stopped producing milk and were removed from the experiment. The treatments were corn meal, pre-gelatinized corn, citrus pulp and sucrose, with the roughage based on corn silage, and the roughage:concentrate ratio 60:40. The diets were formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of lactating goats and were offered in four daily meals, in the same physical form. Voluntary nutrient intake, digestibility, production weighing and samples for analysis of milk composition were performed during the seven days of each collection period. We did not consider the effect of body weight, due to the short evaluation periods present in the Latin square design, which tend to hinder the variation of weight gain, not correcting errors in ruminal filling. Goats fed corn meal showed higher lignin intake and digestibility of dry matter, organic matter and fiber, and lower intake when sucrose was used. Citrus pulp also stood out for its fiber digestibility and influenced some milk components, such as fat, protein, total solids, milk fat-corrected and net lactation energy. However, milk composition showed low values when the goats were fed sucrose. Regarding the period, only fat, milk fat- corrected and net lactation energy were influenced. Regarding ingestive behavior, there was an influence of the diet for intake, being greater when the goats received corn meal and smaller when they received pre-gelatinized corn. Regarding idleness, we observed the opposite effect, being greater in the pre-gelatinized corn diet and smaller with corn meal in the diet. We suggest that citrus pulp can be used as a concentrated feed for dairy goats, without compromising nutrient intake, digestibility, milk yield and composition. However, diets with sucrose affect intake, digestibility, milk production and composition. Keywords: Citrus pulp. Digestibility. Milk production. Sucrose
Utilização de feromônio para confusão sexual de Spodoptera frugiperda em cultivos de algodão
Authors:   , Lima Patricia Batista Alves do Prado
Published: December 2024

Buscando alcançar a sustentabilidade e uma maior e melhor eficiência no controle de pragas, novas estratégias de manejo vêm sendo desenvolvidas e adotadas na agricultura. Feromônios sexuais podem ser utilizados para suprimir o acasalamento de insetos em programas de Manejo Integrado de Pragas, compondo táticas de controle mais sustentáveis. O uso da técnica de confusão sexual consiste em saturar o ambiente com o feromônio sexual da fêmea, o que interfere e/ou bloqueia a comunicação olfativa do macho com a fêmea, reduzindo a reprodução e o crescimento da população da praga. O resultado desejado é proteção das plantas do ataque da praga em questão. Neste contexto, o objetivo neste estudo foi avaliar a eficiência do Pherogen® no controle de Spodoptera frugiperda na cultura do algodoeiro. Para tanto, foram conduzidos três ensaios em três propriedades, na Região Oeste da Bahia, nos municípios de Formosa do Rio Preto, São Desidério e Riachão das Neves. Foram avaliados dois tipos manejo de S. frugiperda. Um deles consistiu na aplicação convencional de inseticidas, como praticado por cada uma das propriedades (Padrão Fazenda), e no outro tipo, utilizou-se o feromônio de confusão sexual das mariposas (Pherogen®). Foi avaliado o número de estruturas danificadas por planta e número de lagartas por planta. Houve diferença significativa (P < 0,001) para todas as variáveis avaliadas. A confusão sexual com Pherogen® reduziu número de estruturas danificadas e o manejo convencional adotados nas propriedades para o controle da S. frugiperda no algodoeiro, tanto para o número de estruturas danificadas por planta quanto para o número de lagartas capturas por planta. Espera-se que os resultados encontrados por meio do presente estudo auxiliem a pesquisa agrícola na busca constante pelo desenvolvimento de uma agricultura mais produtiva e sustentável utilizando técnicas alternativas de controle de pragas, especialmente o controle por meio de feromônios que é uma área em ascensão.

Situating liability for patent infringement by Artificial Intelligence Systems in South Africa
Authors: Mukwevho Tshimangadzo Donald , Oriakhogba Desmond Osaretin
Published: December 2024

South Africa remains the only country that has granted a patent in respect of an application that named an artificial intelligence (AI) system as the inventor. This follows the decision by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission in 2021, granting Dr Stephen Thaler a patent over inventions created by his AI machine — Device for the Autonomous Bootstrapping of Unified Sentience (DABUS). This decision has subsequently received condemnation, as well as applause, from various scholars. Adding to the criticisms against granting patents with AI named as the inventor/s, it remains a question as to who should be held liable for patent infringement by AI systems, and if anyone is to be held liable, how the liability thereof should be assessed. This flows from the premise that the development, training, and the ‘inventive’ activities of AI inevitably involve access to patent-protected data or information for which authorisation from the patent owner may not have been obtained. Conducted through desktop research, and drawing from the delictual (tort) principle of causation, this article probes into and addresses questions around the liability for patent infringement by AI systems in South Africa.

Authors: Thompson Dr. Sarah
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of demand forecasting accuracy on customer satisfaction
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low-cost advantage as compared to field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Accurate demand forecasting significantly enhances customer satisfaction by reducing stockouts, improving delivery reliability, and aligning inventory with consumer needs. Advanced predictive models, such as AI and machine learning, enable businesses to adapt to market dynamics, fostering trust and loyalty. Studies show improved repeat purchase rates and customer retention, highlighting forecasting precision as crucial for competitive advantage.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Resource-Based View (RBV) Theory, Expectancy-Disconfirmation Theory (EDT) and Systems Theory in supply chain and management maybe used to anchor future studies on the impact of demand forecasting accuracy on customer satisfaction. Research should focus on developing integrative frameworks that combine demand forecasting accuracy with customer satisfaction metrics, emphasizing the role of advanced technologies like AI and machine learning. Companies should also invest in training programs to equip supply chain professionals with the skills to utilize advanced forecasting tools effectively. Governments and regulatory bodies should establish guidelines to encourage secure data sharing between supply chain stakeholders, enhancing forecasting accuracy
Deriving M-polynomial Based Topological Descriptors of Oral Antiviral Clinical Drug Nirmatrelvir
Authors: Das Shibsankar , Mandal Modhuleena
Published: December 2024

The novel human coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 poses a serious risk to human health. Regretfully, the US Food and Drug Adminis- tration (FDA) has approved very few oral antiviral medications for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. In the current study, we have explored the topological characterization of the orally bio-available SARS Mpro inhibitor nirmatrelvir which in combination with ritonavir (under the brand name Paxlovid) is recently approved for emergency use authorization by FDA. Topological indices are a useful tool in chemical graph theory to determine the diverse pharmaceutical, biolog- ical and physico-chemical properties of a molecule. In this study, we ascertain several well-known degree-dependent topological indices for the medication nirmatrelvir directly using their common definitions in mathematics and alternatively by utilising M-polynomial after deriv- ing M-polynomial of nirmatrelvir. In addition, we plot the obtained topological indices and the M-polynomial to comprehend the geometric behaviour of them. The outcomes can aid in the investigation of the physical characteristics of the recently created medications utilised to treat COVID-19.

Regional Governance Challenges in Implementing EU Smart Speciali-zation Policy: A Critical Review
Authors:   University of Pécs, Wibisono Eristian ,   Faculty of Business and Economics, Pécs, Hungary
Published: December 2024

This review paper has three main objectives: first, to examine the governance challenges associated with the implementation of smart specialization policies in different EU regions; second, to examine the governance challenges faced by weaker regions; and third, to explore specific governance approaches to address these challenges. A systematic literature review was conducted to analyze the most relevant studies, extract critical findings, and derive lessons and practical policy recommendations. The review identified two key challenges in the governance of smart specialization policies, namely stakeholder engagement and institutional readiness. These challenges are common in most EU regions and are more critical in weaker regions. Further analysis reveals specific governance approaches that can address these challenges, with some literature explicitly linking these approaches to multilevel governance. Given the gaps identified in the existing literature, this paper aims to lay the groundwork for future research to explore these governance approaches in the context of smart specialization policies in EU regions and, more specifically, in weaker regions.

School principals as key actors in the implementation of educational policies: perspectives from the Integral Education Program (PEI) in São Paulo State, Brazil
Authors: Campos Cardoso Júlia Carolina , Felouzis Georges
Published: December 2024

L’article analyse le rôle des cheffes d’établissement dans la mise en œuvre du Programme d’Éducation Intégrale (PEI) à São Paulo (Brésil). Nous partons de l’hypothèse que les cheffes d’établissement jouent un rôle fondamental dans la mise en œuvre des politiques éducatives au niveau local, en raison de leur position en tant que médiatrices entre les impératifs du système éducatif d’une part et les acteurs/trices de l’école de l’autre. Des entretiens et des observations in situ ont été réalisés dans quatre écoles PEI de l’État de São Paulo. Nous avons analysé le rôle des quatre cheffes d’établissement dans le processus d'adhésion des enseignant-es, des élèves et des familles au programme. Les résultats montrent que la forte adhésion des cheffes d’établissement à la politique a été décisive pour sa mise en œuvre sur le plan local. Les directrices ont mobilisé les autres acteurs/trices scolaires pour adhérer au programme, agissant en tant que productrices de sens.
Développer la qualité de l’école, mais prudemment : le difficile exercice d’équilibrisme des cadres d'une administration scolaire
Authors: Ogay Tania , Conus Xavier
Published: December 2024

Développer la qualité de l’école est un projet ambitieux, mais nécessaire pour qui pilote un système éducatif. Alors que l’école déclare considérer les parents d’élèves comme des partenaires, quelle place l’institution leur donne-t-elle dans un tel processus ? Une recherche ethnographique réalisée au sein de l’administration scolaire du canton de Fribourg (Suisse) montre les nombreux écueils que rencontrent les cadres dans la mise en œuvre d’une politique qualité : confronté-es de toutes parts, et en premier lieu à l’interne, à la diversité des représentations sur ce qu’est et devrait être l’école, les cadres avancent avec prudence, cherchant à ménager les craintes des professionnel-les du terrain, à convaincre plutôt qu’à imposer, dans le souci d’éviter les résistances et les conflits qui remettraient le processus en question. La relation école-familles représentant un sujet majeur de crispation au sein du corps enseignant, l’implication des parents d’élèves dans le processus de développement de la qualité est apparue comme une menace de trop et les parents d’élèves ont été tenus à l’écart du processus. Au-delà de la remise en question du partenariat école-familles, c’est la possibilité pour les cadres de conduire une politique qui soit mise en œuvre par l’ensemble des établissements scolaires qui est interrogée.

Authors: Akor Nwankwoala Leonard , Ihuah Paulinus Woka
Published: December 2024

Land is an indispensable factor in the socio-economic development of any nation and every activity in life revolves around land. Land offers endless opportunities for development and discovery. It is the ultimate source of wealth. But it can only be fully harnessed with appropriate process of documentation, titling and registration.

The objective of the study was to identify the challenges militating against sustainable land titling processes in Rivers State, Nigeria. The study adopted the case study approach research design which allowed the use of the mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative research instruments) in the data collection using simple random sampling technique. A total number of 400 questionnaires were administered and 290 were retrieved representing 72.5% response rate. Data collected were analyzed with descriptive statistical tools like the weighted mean and relative important index.

The finding of the study revealed that the challenges militating against sustainable land titling processes in Rivers State are high cost of land and processing fees of title documents; lengthy processing time; bureaucratic bottlenecks and cumbersome nature of the process; corruption and ignorance; change in government policy and information barrier. In reflection of these challenges the critical stakeholders should do all within their power to reduce to the barest minimum the cost of land and processing charges, the lengthy processing steps and time and remove the inhibiting institutional bottlenecks in order to facilitate more title registration. The study recommends that there should be a deliberate policy intervention to make easy and less cumbersome the land titling and registration processes by reducing the lengthy processing time, removing institutional bottlenecks and curbing corruption, and the deployment of more officers with wide technological skills.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND:

Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1, is an effective antidiabetic drug promoting weight loss and providing cardiovascular protection. The original trials did not include participants from Saudi Arabia; hence, the study's findings are expected to be useful.

OBJECTIVES:

Explore the efficacy, safety, and favorable effects of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide (1 mg) in patients with type 2 diabetes and those who received it as an off-license prescription without having diabetes.

DESIGN:

Retrospective review of medical records.

SETTING:

Department of medicine at our institution.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

This retrospective observational study evaluated patients receiving the glucagon-like peptide-1 analog semaglutide, with the trade name Ozempic. The weight, height, body mass index, blood pressure, and laboratory data, including serum creatinine and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and urine albumin/creatinine ratio, were recorded. Moreover, any history of medical comorbidities, such as cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, and heart failure, was documented before and after drug administration.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

Glycemic and weight loss efficacy

SAMPLE SIZE:

1007 patients

RESULTS:

The median age of the patients was 57.0 years, comprising 60.28% females. Among them, 955 and 442 patients received the medication for at least 3 and 6 months, respectively. Our results show a 4.4% weight loss and 0.4% improvement in HBA1c in patients with diabetes. Similar results were observed in the patients without diabetes in terms of weight along with a significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure. Our results also show stability in the serum creatinine and urine albumin creatinine ratio. The drug was equally effective in males and females.

CONCLUSION:

Treatment with once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide (1 mg) led to clinically significant weight loss and improved HbA1c level and cardiometabolic risk factors such as blood pressure.

LIMITATIONS:

Authors: Aldarsouni Fayez G. , Alkhulaiwi Hani , Alruwaite Hosam , Alsubaie Shara , Abdulkareem Faye , Alsuabie Norah
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND:

The prevalence of trauma necessitates effective training for healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia. The Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) program is pivotal, yet localized success rate data are lacking.

OBJECTIVES:

Determine the failure rate and identify factors influencing ATLS course success rates among physicianss in Saudi Arabia.

DESIGN:

A retrospective cohort.

SETTING:

Two major accredited ATLS training centers in Riyadh.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Participants who completed ATLS training at the Trauma Courses Office at the Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs from January 2019 to December 2020, and at the Clinical Skills and Simulation Center at King Saud University Medical City from December 2020 through January 2023. Particpitants were grouped as interns and all physicians other than interns, for the purpose of analysis.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

Success and failure rates were the primary outcomes, with failure identified as a score of less than 75% or below standard performance in the practical session.

SAMPLE SIZE:

603

RESULTS:

The overall failure rate for the ATLS courses was 36.6%. Analysis revealed age, pre-test scores, and attendance at a refresher course as significant predictors of success. Specifically, general practitioners and OMFS specialists had a higher odds of failing, while general surgeons and trauma-related specialties consultants were more likely to succeed.

CONCLUSION:

ATLS course failure is notably high, with specific specialties and levels demonstrating increased risk. Results indicate a need for tailored pre-course preparation and an extension of the course duration for less experienced participants to improve proficiency, especially for at-risk groups.

LIMITATIONS:

Retrospective design and other variables, such as emotional status, level of instructors, and level of motivation.

The improvement of rural community welfare is not solely dependent on successful agricultural development but can also be driven by the potential and uniqueness of natural and cultural tourism within rural communities. Thus, it is essential to study cultural and religious tourism villages that can be developed to enhance rural community welfare. This research was conducted in Kalisalak Village, Kebasen District, Banyumas Regency, which serves as a cultural and religious tourism village. The research utilized a case study approach to construct factual realities by collecting data through direct observation, interviews, and focus group discussions. The analysis involved data reduction, confirmation, and triangulation. The findings indicate that the Curug Song and Telaga Anteng tourist sites have the potential to be developed into eco-tourism attractions, maintaining their natural beauty and environmental preservation. The historical site and sacred keris bathing sites offer the potential for educational tourism, providing historical literacy, philosophy, and the preservation of local wisdom, which is passed down across generations to foster harmony, peace, solidarity, and wisdom. These two tourism potentials can be developed through community empowerment programs designed to manage and sustain eco-tourism and educational tourism that is green, environmentally friendly, and sustainable.

Authors: Asnawi Meinarni , V.S Sesa Pascalina
Published: December 2024

Tax is the implementation of obligations that are paid voluntarily. This understanding needs to be done from the beginning to the younger generation to increase tax awareness because it is an important point considering that taxes are one of the sources of state revenue that will be used for development. Introducing taxes and various benefits of tax reporting is important for students to prepare themselves as mandatory subjects and will subsequently become taxpayers. This community service aims to increase tax understanding from an early age through the provision of tax knowledge for students of YPPGI Junior High School,  Jayapura Regency. Tax material is focused on three things: the definition of taxes and tax benefits, sources of state revenue, and the importance of paying taxes. Tax literacy teaches students the obligations, and procedures of being a taxpayer. Participants in this activity are 58 YPPGI students in Grades 7 and 8, it is hoped that the students can understand the importance of taxes as one of the sources of state revenue and realize their tax obligations from an early age—teaching methods through lectures, tax video screenings, and games. Learning activities results showed a positive difference in tax knowledge before and after the material was given. Students are happy with the material taught and aware of the tax obligations if they work later.

Published: December 2024

The concept of organic farming based on local wisdom to realize the healthy living community movement program is very important to be implemented by referring to the concept of environmentally friendly and sustainable agriculture. One of the wastes that does not get attention to be managed properly is agricultural waste. Unprocessed agricultural waste will become a source of environmental pollution, a source of disease, and disrupt ecological cleanliness. Therefore, agrarian waste needs to be managed properly so that it can provide benefits to the lives of the community in general and farmers in particular. This community-based empowerment activity aims to assist and train the Manggarai Women Farmers Group in making eco-enzymes from agricultural waste as liquid organic fertilizers. Training and assistance activities are carried out with stages of socialization, training and assistance, application of technology, monitoring, and evaluation. The results of the activity show that there has been a change in the mindset of the members of the Manggarai Women Farmers group to utilize agricultural waste as a material for making eco-enzymes as organic fertilizers in plant cultivation.
Introduction and Consultation on the Indonesia's Oil and Gas Sharing Contract at CNG Co.
Authors: Sunny Yulia Prayang , Hari Karyadi Oetomo R. , Ristawati Arinda , Fattahanisa Aqlyna , Kurniawati Riskaviana
Published: December 2024

Indonesia's oil and gas sector has traditionally employed Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) to regulate the sharing of revenues between the government and contractors. Two key PSC models are used: PSC Cost Recovery and PSC Gross Split. The PSC Cost Recovery model allows contractors to recover their exploration and production costs before profits are shared, providing financial protection but reducing long-term profitability. Conversely, the PSC Gross Split model, introduced in 2017, offers a simpler revenue-sharing mechanism, eliminating cost recovery and directly splitting gross revenue between the government and contractors. This study analyzes the financial implications of both models using economic simulations, focusing on key indicators like net cash flow, net present value (NPV), pay-out time, and discounted cash flow (DCF) rate of return. Results show that the Gross Split model generates significantly higher gross revenue ($420.908 million) than Cost Recovery ($46.362 million), but at the cost of greater financial risks for contractors due to higher upfront investments and operating costs. The Gross Split model also provides higher long-term returns, with a net cash flow of $67.138 million compared to $8.252 million in Cost Recovery. However, the pay-out time is longer, and the DCF rate of return is slightly lower (29.95% vs. 31.8%). Ultimately, PSC Gross Split is more suited for contractors with higher risk tolerance and capital resources, while PSC Cost Recovery may be preferable for smaller contractors seeking to minimize financial risks. Both models offer distinct advantages depending on the contractor’s financial capacity and risk appetite.

Students can gain a better grasp of subjects through the use of ICT literacy. Students can learn a wide range of facts and concepts in a balanced and effective way if they are literate in the use of information and communication technologies. Research has shown that there is a strong correlation between PLT and ICT Literacy. The correlation between TPACK and ICT literacy is strong as well. All of this points to the importance of TPACK, PLT, and ICT literacy as cornerstones of effective classroom instruction. The goals of this community service project are threefold: first, to increase teachers' TPACK competency, ICT literacy, and PLT understanding and knowledge; second, to develop TPACK competency programs; and third, to develop TPACK competency, ICT literacy, and PLT teaching materials. The author argues that the training implementation method is the most justified of the three prerequisites that any school must meet. These prerequisites include: 1) Setting up a system for online instruction. Naturally, their e-learning platform can cleanly display TPACK competencies, ICT literacy, and PLT; 2) Creating activities for innovation workshops; 3) Engaging students in learning TPACK competences, ICT literacy, and PLT through student-led activities.

Published: December 2024

Boalemo Regency selected the Bajo-Tilamuta Ethnic Village as a Cultural Diversity site for the Gorontalo Geopark due to the uniqueness of this ethnic group's way of life. The Bajo-Tilamuta tribe, one of the Bajo tribes, can be found on the coast of Gorontalo Province, specifically in Boalemo Regency. Despite residing on the coast, the Bajo-Tilamuta tribe remains isolated and distant from the broader population's settlements. However, the intensity of meetings between the Bajo and Gorontalo tribes often occurs through activities as fishermen and marriages between the Bajo and Gorontalo tribes. The Bajo tribe is known as a nomadic tribe at sea. Because of its spread beyond national borders, this tribe is known as a free border crosser. The Bajo tribe's reliance on the sea for shelter has led to their spread to various parts of the world, particularly in Southeast Asia. In the past, the Bajo tribe was known for exclusively living at sea, meaning they were born, lived, and died on boats. The Bajo people's way of life has now changed. Although the Bajo people still live on the sea's edge, their lives tend to settle in one place, leading many of their children to attend school and become graduates. The potential of the Bajo village as an ethnic geopark village hinges on the availability of human resources capable of supporting the village's designation as a geopark tourism village. Therefore, children and teenagers in the Bajo-Tilamuta Village require foreign language training, such as English. We take this action to prepare for the potential arrival of foreign tourists in the future. Through community service integrated with KKN (Community Service Program), students use the English teaching method for young learners by introducing maritime English vocabulary whose objects are in the daily lives of the Bajo Community, namely the sea and its environment.
