Published: May 2024

Este estudo investigou os fatores que influenciam o conhecimento e a adesão aos métodos contraceptivos de longa duração (LARCs) entre as mulheres. Uma pesquisa do tipo Revisão Integrativa da Literatura foi conduzida nos buscadores de dados eletrônicos Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Repositório Institucional da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, Cochrane Library e Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, utilizando os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde "Contraceptive device", “Woman” e “Knowledge”, juntamente com seus equivalentes em português. Como critérios de inclusão, foram consideradas publicações entre 2005 e 2024, além de artigos científicos completos disponíveis em inglês ou português, resultando em 17 artigos selecionados para análise. Foram identificadas três principais categorias de influência: preconceitos religiosos e culturais, educação sexual insatisfatória e mitos sobre os efeitos no corpo. Os resultados destacam que esses fatores negativamente impactam a escolha das mulheres por métodos contraceptivos de longa duração, como o DIU e o implante subdérmico. Além disso, a falta de acesso a informações precisas sobre saúde sexual e os efeitos dos métodos contraceptivos contribuem para a desconfiança e o medo em relação ao seu uso, levando a uma baixa adesão. Conclui-se que uma educação abrangente e esclarecedora é fundamental para capacitar as mulheres a tomar decisões informadas sobre sua saúde reprodutiva e superar as barreiras impostas pela desinformação e pelos preconceitos.

Priority directions of the development of circular transformations in the agricultural sector of Ukraine
Authors: Kuzoma Vitalii
Published: May 2024

Achieving the goals of sustainable, inclusive development of society requires searching for new models and mechanisms capable of ensuring the population's well-being. The agricultural sector of the national economy is vital to such positions. Its further development in the context of leading European practice should consider the organizational and economic principles of constructing and using closed agricultural production cycles. The essence, content, and basic principles of the development of the circular agrarian economy are discussed in the article. The key directions for the further development of circular processes, which correspond to the specifics of the agricultural sector of the national economy and are priorities in the immediate and strategic perspective, are defined here. Among them, the following are outlined: organic production and use of waste, production of biofuel, priority of ecosystem restoration, use of products of new water purification systems, and logistic and marketing products for agro-production based on closed cycles. It was determined that implementing circular principles in global practice has a clearly expressed positive socio-economic effect. The complex of the main advantages of the circular economy in the agricultural sector of Ukraine is justified. It is proposed to include three primary cycles in the system of agro-circular economy, which is based on R-principles: technical-technological, biological, and financial. Based on the research results, several factors and obstacles were identified that are currently holding back the intensification of the development of circular transformations in the agricultural sector of the national economy. Overcoming them requires a systematic approach to motivating the spread of agro-circular processes based on improving organizational and management mechanisms, increasing the social responsibility of rural businesses, and the general level of the corporate culture of agricultural companies and society.
Keywords: agro-circular economy, closed-type economy, R-principles, agrarian business, management models, sustainable development.

Predicting stock market prices accurately is a major task for investors and traders seeking to optimize their decision-making processes. This research focuses on the comparative analysis of advanced machine learning (ML) techniques, particularly, the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model for predicting stock market prices. The study enforces thorough data collection and preprocessing to ensure the quality and reliability of the historical stock price data, forming a robust foundation for the predictive models. The core contribution of this paper lies in its systematic and comparative analysis of these two models. A range of performance metrics, including Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), are employed to assess and contrast the predictive accuracy and efficiency of the LSTM and ARIMA models. The research findings indicate that the ARIMA model, contrary to expectations, outperforms the LSTM model in this study, achieving lower RMSE and MAE values. Specifically, the ARIMA model demonstrates a Test RMSE of 4.336 and a Test MAE of 3.45926, indicating its superior predictive accuracy compared to the LSTM model. Furthermore, the study sets its findings against the backdrop of existing literature by comparing the performance of its models with those reported in previous research. This comparison shows better results achieved by our stock market prediction models. By addressing limitations observed in prior studies and demonstrating practical applicability, this research contributes to advancing stock market prediction methodologies, offering valuable insights for investors and traders.

Case presentation: A 1-month-old male patient was treated to the PICU of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang with symptoms of decreased consciousness, seizures, and fever. The patient was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis and was referred from Sungai Dareh Regional General Hospital with previous therapy for 4 days. A cerebrospinal fluid examination showed increased protein and decreased glucose, and a CT scan showed hydrocephalus. The cerebrospinal fluid culture showed growth of Elizabethkingia meningoseptica which was resistant to imipenem and meropenem. The patient was treated with a combination of non-carbapenem antibiotics and recovered from meningitis.
Conclusion: Carbapenem-resistant Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a rare causative agent of meningitis in children. Early diagnosis and treatment with appropriate non-carbapenem antibiotics are essential to increase the chance of cure.
Beyond Access: Building the Resilience of South Sudanese Refugee Higher Education Students from the Bidi Bidi Settlement, Uganda
Authors: Sempebwa Christine Semambo
Published: May 2024

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), set a global target of 15 percent enrolment of refugees, in higher education, by 2030. Relatedly, UNHCR stated that beyond access, higher education should build individual and collective resilience of refugee students. This paper looks at the support mechanisms various stakeholders use, to build the resilience of South Sudanese refugee higher education students, from Bidi Bidi settlement in Uganda. This is within the context of Uganda’s Education Response (ERP) for refugees and host communities.  The study adopted a qualitative approach, an exploratory case study design, and an advocacy/ participatory philosophical lens, using the intersectional theory. Twenty-seven (27) purposively sampled participants took part in the study. They included 12 undergraduates from two private Ugandan universities, a total of 13 government and non-governmental organization (NGO) officials, and two officials from public and private universities, all involved in refugee higher education. Data was collected through a literature review, in-depth interviews with key informants and students, and a students’ focus group discussion. The study established that, within the context of Uganda’s ERP, South Sudanese refugee higher education students have their resilience built through support, mainly from HEIs and NGOs. The support uses multiple approaches and takes place mainly within the HEIs, with a bit in the settlement.  However, it is offered within each stakeholder’s context and thus takes on a silo rather than integrated approach. Support also does not always consider the individual and complex student needs. Nevertheless, the support, which is relatively student-centred does register good social and academic resilience. The study therefore recommends that through a situational analysis and needs assessment, Uganda develops clear objectives, activities and outcomes in the ERP, to guide stakeholders, towards strengthening refugee higher education students’ resilience. The study also designed a model towards enhancing student resilience

Published: May 2024

The potent pain-relieving properties of opioids come at a steep price. Their addictive nature and side effects raise critical concerns in managing pain after surgical spine procedures. Postoperatively, spinal surgeries often accompany acute intense pain, which presents a significant challenge in optimal recovery. This paper reviews the historical approach to pain management in spine surgeries and expands on the use of alternatives and novel agents with reduced addictive potential. Additionally showcasing individualized multimodal strategies for postoperative pain management beyond pharmacological approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), physical therapy, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Given the global opioid addiction crisis, there is a growing need for a fundamental shift towards safer and effective alternatives. Transitioning beyond opioid-centric practices in spinal surgery can optimize pain relief while improving patient outcomes and minimizing risk.
Immunotherapy in thymic epithelial tumors: tissue predictive biomarkers for immune checkpoint inhibitors
Authors: Lucà Stefano , Accardo Marina , Campione Severo , Franco Renato
Published: May 2024

Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) are rare malignant neoplasms arising in the thymus gland. Nevertheless, TETs, including thymomas (TMs), thymic carcinomas (TCs), and thymic neuroendocrine neoplasms (TNENs), are the most common mediastinal malignancies overall. A multidisciplinary approach is required for the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic management of TETs. To date, the main therapeutic strategies are largely depended on the stage of the tumor and they include surgery with or without neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy, represented by platinum-based chemotherapy, radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are ongoing under evaluation in the advanced or metastatic diseases despite the challenges related to the very low tumor mutation burden (TMB) and the high incidence of immune-related adverse events in TETs. In this regard, predictive impact of tissue biomarkers expression such as programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1), and other emerging biomarkers, as well as their optimal and shared interpretation are currently under evaluation in order to predict response rates to ICIs in TETs.

The construction of a biogas digester is the main emphasis of this project. Biogas is a mixture of gases created during the anaerobic decomposition of organic material, including food waste, animal waste, sewage, and waste from farms and plants. One of the major causes is environmental degradation, which has emerged to be the greatest threat to the health of the environment and the economy of the underdeveloped areas. But with the discovery and application of biogas which is a gaseous fuel obtained from biomass by the process of anaerobic digestion, most problems are resolved. The project’s aim is to create a biogas digester that leverages animal manure to generate biogas for usage at Covenant University. The digester selected for construction is a barrel drum digester for the production of biogas using cow dung. The cow dung was tested for a total of 14 days, during which the days of gas production and digestion were observed, and the biogas was then tested with the gas and temperature sensor and was confirmed to detect gas and temperature.

Authors: Ladislaus George Abuya , Chiwamb Sarah Vincent , Ishemo Rwegasha Peter
Published: May 2024

The widespread reports of school adolescents being victimized by sexual harassment have raised concerns towards understanding how adolescents cope with such incidents. This study assessed the influence of perpetrator identity on the likelihood of schoolgirls employing certain sexual harassment coping strategies. A cross-sectional descriptive survey design was utilized in this study. The target population constituted of adolescent ordinary level secondary schoolgirls in Mbulu Town Council and the sample size was 400 girls. The sampling procedure was a two stages cluster sampling. The data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed by binary logistic regression using the statistical package for social science software (SPSS). Perpetrator identities were found to influence coping strategies adopted by schoolgirls. Senior students revealed an association with normalization coping strategy while strangers were associated with engagement coping strategy. Classmates, teachers, senior students and strangers were associated with detachment coping strategy, whereas non-teaching staff was associated with help-seeking coping strategy. It is recommended that adolescents should be provided with sexuality education so as to mitigate the tendency of normalizing harassment in peer relationships. Also, further interventions should focus on emphasizing the usage of help seeking strategy rather than detachment. Moreover, boarding schools could be a potential solution for preventing encounters with strangers to and from school.

Directed growth of quinacridone chains on the vicinal Ag(35 1 1) surface
Authors: Humberg Niklas , Grönwoldt Lukas , Sokolowski Moritz
Published: May 2024

The formation of self-assembled domains and chains of monomolecular width of quinacridone (QA) on the vicinal Ag(35 1 1) surface was investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy and low-energy electron diffraction. The focus was on the influence of the steps on the QA structures and their preferential azimuthal orientations with the aim of achieving a selective orientation. After deposition at a sample temperature of 300 K, QA forms the same kind of molecular chains as on the nominally flat Ag(100) surface because of strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which we reported in a previous publication [Humberg, N.; Bretel, R.; Eslam, A.; Le Moal, E.; Sokolowski, M. J. Phys. Chem. C 2020, 124, 24861–24873]. The vicinal surface leads to one additional chain orientation, which is parallel to the Ag step edges. However, most chains nucleate on the Ag terraces between steps with four distinct azimuthal orientations that are identical to those on Ag(100), and which are determined by the interactions with the (100) surface. At 300 K, the chains grow across the Ag steps, which do not break the azimuthal chain orientations. In contrast, during the deposition at sample temperatures of 400 and 500 K, the nucleation of the chains takes place at the Ag step edges. Hence, these have a strong influence on the azimuthal orientation of the molecules, resulting in a preferential growth of the chains in two of the four azimuthal orientations. We explain this by the adaptation of favorable adsorption sites, which involve the replacement of Ag atoms by QA molecules with specific azimuthal orientations at the step edges.

This study aims to understand the impact of Hedonic Shopping Motivation on impulsive buying behavior among Millennial users of Shopee e-commerce. A quantitative approach was utilized in this research, with a questionnaire as the data collection tool. The sample consisted of 172 respondents who are Shopee e-commerce users. The results indicated that Hedonic Shopping Motivation has a significant influence on impulsive buying behavior among Millennial Shopee users, with a t-significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. This demonstrates a significant relationship between Hedonic Shopping Motivation and impulsive buying behavior on Shopee among Millennials. The study also found a correlation of 0.540 between the independent and dependent variables, indicating a strong relationship between these variables. The coefficient of determination shows that 29.16% of the variation in impulsive buying behavior can be explained by the Hedonic Shopping Motivation variable, while the remaining portion is due to other factors not addressed in this study.

Even though inter-island trade is important and Sumatra is Indonesia's second largest economy, Sumatra imports more from other islands in Indonesia than exports. This research will be carried out descriptively to determine the trade structure of the island of Sumatra with other islands in Indonesia and potential sector purchases in downstream. This study uses secondary data published by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). The secondary data used is the input-output data table between Indonesian regions, domestic transactions based on producer prices according to 6 island groups and 17 business fields in 2016. The results of this study indicate that trade between Sumatra and other islands suffers a slight loss because there are more imports from other islands. compared to export output by Sumatra. The use of output from the island of Sumatra is almost balanced between final demand and intermediate demand. The majority of Sumatra's output circulates in the Sumatra region only. Sumatra trade interaction is dominant with the island of Java. From a sector perspective, the majority of Sumatra's exports come from the manufacturing sector as well as the sector with the largest output value. Even though it has the largest output value,  this  sector  is  the  most  powerful  in  driving  progress  in  the  upstream  sector.  As  for downstream, the Electricity and Gas Procurement sector has the greatest potential in terms of impacting progress on the downstream sector.

Effects of Genre, Emotional Response, and Perception of Music on Simple Cognitive Tasks
Authors: Schoff Alyssa , Johnson Alec , Kane Lucas
Published: May 2024

Investigating the impact of music on cognitive performance is incredibly complex, in part because of the potential for wide variation in the qualities of the music and the type and complexity of the cognitive task being performed. This study examined how variations in genre, familiarity, and enjoyment of background music affected the performance of 41 individuals on somatosensory simple and choice reaction tests. Although no significant trends were found in parameters of reaction time, reaction time variability, choice reaction time, and percent of correct choices on choice reaction time,  trends in the data suggest that further investigation into the effects of familiarity, enjoyment, and other such emotional components of music processing on cognitive performance may be a valuable direction for more extensive testing.
Elemental Comparison of African Balsam and Shea Butter Woods Ashes for Cloth Dyeing

Published: May 2024

Elemental comparison of wood ashes fixating materials in cloth dyeing has not been of scholarly attention, especially in Nigeria where studies have also excluded wood ashes for fixating agent for cloth dyeing. This study therefore elementally examined and compared ashes of African Balsam Woods(ABW) (Daniella Oliver) and Shea Butter Wood(SBW) (vita iloria paradoxa) and produced fixating agent with the selected woods with a view to providing scientic fixating agent for alternate synthetic fixating. Woods of each samples were harvested and processed into ashes stage as well as analysed with particle induce Energy Dispersive X-ray Meter (EDXM). Elevcn elements: strontium, (Sr), Rubidium (Rb), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni), Iron (fe), Manganese (Mn), Chromium (Cr), Titanium (Ti), Calcium (Ca) and Potassium (K) were determined. Based on the ashes of each sample drenched in water fixating compositions were formulated and used with synthetic dyes. African Balsam wood ashes fixating agent work effectively with synthetic dyes in this study. The findings call for further studies on comparative of other woods ashes for the formulating of fixating agent to have more organic and unharmful fixating and jettison synthetic fixating agents.

Increasing population in the city of Abuja instigate the need for more housing construction. While such may be necessary, it is also important to manage the risk involved. But the extent of impact of risk management on project performance has been obscured in literature. thus, this research will assess the impact of risk management on project cost performance with reference to selected house developer in Abuja city. A sample of 256 respondents was utilised and risk management measure in four standpoints: risk identification, risk assessment, risk response planning and risk monitoring & control. Multiple regression was vital for estimation. Results indicate that all the four variables are positive toward improving cost performance. In other words, risk identification, risk assessment, risk response planning and risk monitoring & control reduces cost by 26% to 45%, all things being equal. It was also noted that risk monitoring & control has the most influence of approximately 45% while risk response planning had the lowest influence of 26%, all things being equal. Therefore, the organisations should continue to improve in the aspect of risk management while sustaining tempo on training and retraining in this aspect.
