Authors: Ilboudo Bernard , Sakana Leticia , Hien Alain , Méda Clément Zemlé
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND: Complications related to anemia in pregnancy are common in referral hospitals in Burkina Faso. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with hospital outcomes for anemia in pregnancy at a regional level in Burkina Faso.

METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on anemia cases identified from hospital records of pregnant women admitted between 2009 and 2011 in the maternity wards of public referral hospitals of the Cascades region in Burkina Faso. The hospital outcome was favorable if it was satisfactory for both the mother and the fetus, and unfavorable in the other cases. The factors associated with unfavorable hospital outcomes were identified through multivariable logistic regression.

RESULTS: A total of 1,815 cases of anemia in pregnancy were identified from hospital records and considered in the study. The outcome of hospitalization for the mother and fetus entity was unfavorable in 42.6% of cases. The factors associated with unfavorable hospital outcomes were rural residence (OR = 1.32; 95% CI: 1.00-1.74), evacuation cases (OR = 1.96; 95% CI: 1.48-2.60), 1st or 2nd trimester of pregnancy (OR = 2.74; 95% CI: 2.03-3.68), severe anemia (OR = 2.46; 95% CI: 1.75-3.46), moderate anemia (OR = 1.39; 95% CI: 1.05-1.85) and poor quality of anemia prevention (OR = 2.81; 95% CI: 1.62-4.88). The unfavorable hospital outcomes were less frequent in women in a union (OR = 0.46; 95% CI: 0.26-0.84), in nulliparous and primiparous (OR = 0.69; 95% CI: 0.54-0.88).

CONCLUSION: Unfavorable maternal-fetal hospital outcomes were common among cases of anemia in pregnancy in the Cascades region of Burkina Faso. They were more common in rural women, those admitted from an evacuation, those in early pregnancy, those with severe anemia, and those with poor quality anemia prevention.

Published: February 2024

Accessibility is an essential component in healthcare infrastructure, considering that it significantly impacts the well-being and experiences of individuals seeking medical care. Accessibility goes beyond mere convenience; it is a matter of equal rights, legal compliance, and fostering an environment, encompassing accessible built infrastructure and information sharing. The study aimed to identify the current status of public hospitals in Delhi regarding compliance with accessibility standards for a barrier-free physical environment and time limit for compliance as per the Right for Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 or the RPwDs Act, 2016. The methodology of the study relied on the Right to Information Act, 2005 or RTI Act of 2005, to request information accessible under the open public domain from 32 public hospitals in Delhi regarding compliance with accessibility standards of the built environment, including the provisions of equal opportunities and access to information as per the RPwDs Rules, 2017. After compiling the results, it was identified that 22 hospitals out of 26 provided the information and were aware of section 45 regarding the time limit stipulated by the RPwDs Act, 2016 while the remaining6 hospitals denied the information at the time of compilation of the data. In addition to this, The study disclosed that though most hospitals were aware of the RPwDs Act, however, the compliance to the RPwD Act, 2016 was not universal and the limit of making the hospital fully accessible was not universally complied with. Further, there is a need to conduct on-site assessments of hospitals that claim compliance to universal accessibility standards.

Published: February 2024

The emerging demand for a variety of novel Location-based Services (LBS) by consumers and industrial users is driven by the rapid and extensive proliferation of mobile smart devices. Sensors embedded in smart devices or machines provide wireless connectivity and Global Positioning System (GPS) capability, and are co-utilized to acquire location-linked data which are algorithmically transformed into reliable and accurate location estimates. GPS is a mature and reliable technology for outdoor localization but indoor localization in a complex multi-storey building environment remains challenging due to fluctuations in wireless signal strength arising from multipath fading. Location-linked data from wireless access points (WAPs) such as received signal strength (RSS) are acquired as numerical sequences. By conceptualizing a fixed order sequence of WAP measurements as a sentence where the RSS from each WAP are words, we may leverage on recent advances in artificial intelligence for natural language processing (NLP) to enhance localization accuracy and improve robustness against signal fluctuations. We propose the hyper-class Transformer (HyTra), an encoder-only Transformer neural network which learns the relative positions of wireless access points (WAPs) through multiple learnable embeddings. We propose a second network, HyTra-HF, which improves upon HyTra by applying a hierarchical relationship between location classes. We test our proposed networks on public and private datasets varying in sizes. HyTra-HF outperforms existing deep learning solutions by obtaining 96.7\% accuracy for the floor classification task on the UJIIndoorloc dataset. HyTra-HF is amenable to deep model compression and achieves accuracy of 95.95\% with over ten-fold reduction in model size using Sparsity Aware Orthogonal (SAO) initialization and has the best-in-class accuracy for the sparse model.

STEM has established itself as an innovative technology of science and mathematics education designed to form logical thinking, technical literacy, solving problems, and mastering digital technologies. The main goal of implementing STEM education is to implement the state policy on strengthening the development of the scientific and technical direction in educational and methodological activities at all levels. Based on the definition of competencies formed by the informational and educational environment of STEM education, a model of the goals of selective disciplines for STEM education is proposed. At the same time, the main attention is paid to the definition of the structure of worldview values, which are formed by the content of natural sciences. The practical implementation of the value system for determining the results, content of practical and research activities of education seekers is proposed. A worldview-value approach to determining program learning outcomes can become the basis for the formation of STEM education standards at the substantive and material-technical level.

Long-term author’s research and our analytical generalizations of the experience of domestic and foreign scientists on the problems of quality education of an individual provide grounds for the affirmative use of the formula [1–3], – KNOWLEDGE = Intelligence + Worldview, – which reflects not only the result, but also the educational process. cognitive activity of an individual. In fact, the results of an individual’s educational and cognitive activity – KNOWLEDGE – are formed as a result of his understanding and assimilation of educational material, which is built in educational institutions in accordance with the state order (standard) for educational services [1, p. 15–22]. Educational material is not only the subject content of the educational standard, the target curriculum and a complete package of their educational and methodological support, but also an information and communication environment that contributes to its qualitative assimilation, such that the one who is being taught must also teach someone (advise, commenting, experimenting, interpreting, challenging, defending, creating, mentoring, etc.) is a condition for achieving the predicted result in learning High effectiveness and quality of education become extremely relevant in the aspect of total natural and scientific literacy of each individual – a valuable priority of the information and communication educational environment. Thus, the evidential review of the European experience (PISA) convincingly illustrates: natural and scientific literacy of an individual is a priority at both the national and international levels. In numerous scientific and pedagogical studies and works, it has been proven that total natural and scientific education focuses on the implementation of technologies of binary target orientations (a subject + its teaching method) as a means of forming a complete natural and scientific credo of an individual: ensuring the readiness of a teenager, young person, specialist for learning throughout life and mastering the experience of mankind regarding the creation and use of high technologies in any sphere of safe, innovative human activity.

The article analyzes various approaches to the use of artificial intelligence in education. The main trends of scientific research in this direction are clarified. The currently existing models and implementations of artificial intelligence and their potential opportunities for innovation in education are described in detail. It is shown that the majority of scientific research on the use of artificial intelligence, in particular generative models, is focused on evaluating their capabilities for accurate and adequate answers to questions, solving problems, etc. Instead, there is a lack of research on the development of new teaching methods and technologies that include artificial intelligence as a means of learning. One of these areas of scientific research can be the use of artificial intelligence in the development of educational projects, STEM projects. It is important to focus the efforts of methodologists and scientists on the following aspects of the application of artificial intelligence in education: development of research skills by means of artificial intelligence; the use of artificial intelligence as a teacher’s assistant in preparing for lessons; development of new teaching methods and technologies using artificial intelligence; the formation of critical thinking in students without the involvement of artificial intelligence, instead, the development of critical thinking (previously formed) with the use of artificial intelligence.

The article analyzes the business models of Ukrainian banks in the conditions of the military crisis. The key business models of the beginning of 2022 and the second half of 2023 are compared. Business models are evaluated based on bank balance sheet data published by the National Bank of Ukraine. Scientific and practical approaches to the definition of business models of banks are the subject of a debate reflected in the scientific literature. Our research uses indicators of the structure of bank assets, liabilities, income, expenses and other indicators of asset quality and performance. With the help of Kohonen's self-organizing maps (SOM), banks with close values of the selected indicator system are combined into homogeneous structural and functional groups of banks (SFGB). The structural and functional group of banks unites a homogeneous cluster of banks on the SOM with similar characteristics and patterns of response to external shocks. The method is useful for understanding the business models of specific banks at the macro level. Also, an important area of application of the SFGB method is the study of the general characteristics of the banking system at the macro level. The SFGB method makes it possible to assess the overall financial condition of the system, reveal hidden properties of homogeneous groups of banks, and model the trajectories of individual banks and analyze possible changes in their own business models. Banks sometimes migrate between business models, although the general trends persist. The SFGB's research for the period of 2003 confirms the existence of objective confirmation of the reasons for the migration of banks. The research was conducted at the macro level and in terms of changes in homogeneous groups with specific business models. Some business models have not changed between January 1, 2022 and September 1, 2023. Some models have completely changed. Most of the business model was transformed under the influence of external factors. The business model of domestic banks was significantly affected by the limitation of economic development, the reduction of classic credit operations, important measures of the state and the banking system to maintain a stable resource base, excess liquidity of banks, and the peculiarities of the design of the monetary policy of the National Bank of Ukraine during a full-scale war.

Authors:   Chortkiv Educational and Scientific Institute of Entrepreneurship And Business of West Ukrainian National University, Kulchytska Nadiia
Published: February 2024

The process of clustering is one of the basic directions in the development of the modern regional economy. Cluster development of municipal education is a specific tool in the field of education. A market-oriented society forms the rules of activity of its subjects through laws, relations, industries, establishments, institutions, the banking sector, support institutions, etc. Therefore, a cluster existing within the framework of educational regulations is nothing more than a specially organized space that allows educational institutions, including schools, colleges, infrastructure facilities, research centers, universities and other educational institutions, to develop successfully. organizations, as well as territorial communities as a whole. Therefore, the question of using educational clusters to manage the financial support of education development at the municipal level is emerging. The article proves that educational clusters can be considered as a set of organizations, government and public structures that ensure the implementation of educational programs of a certain level and focus, as well as conditions for their development. The structure of the educational cluster is defined, which usually consists of a core, partners, infrastructure and management bodies. At the same time, each territorial educational cluster has its own specific composition and characteristics of elements. Outlined practical measures for the creation of territorial educational clusters can be built on the standard stages of cluster formation and may include: definition and justification of strategic initiatives in the field of education; forecasting the target (educational), social, economic (commercial and budgetary) efficiency of the cluster, taking into account various types of investments; determination of the composition of the cluster participants with a clear definition of their role and functions in achieving the final target results; development of forms of joint activity within the cluster; development of the cluster management structure; development and approval at the level of local authorities of the necessary regulatory and legal framework; development and implementation of institutional support; creation of information space. The advantages of using educational clusters to manage the financial support of education development at the municipal level are revealed: effective allocation of budgetary resources, joint attraction of investments, stimulation of innovations, development of infrastructure, increased access to resources, joint improvement of the quality of education. The key aspects of the use of educational clusters for the management of financial support for the development of education at the municipal level are characterized.
JUSTIFICATION OF THE METHODICAL APPROACH TO ACCOUNTING AND ANALYTICAL SUPPORT OF CORPORATE MANAGEMENT
Authors:   University of Customs and Finance, Vakulchyk Olena
Published: February 2024

Today, managers of joint-stock companies in Ukraine face the challenge of proper management, since such companies differ from those of other organizational and legal forms in separating capital owners from participation in management. At present joint-stock companies demand new criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of their operations, which would provide true information whether the goals of corporate governance are achieved or not, in particular, whether the interests of all their members are satisfied. The indicator for estimating corporate enterprises’ performance should reflect the main levers of value creation and provide necessary information to make management decisions both by managers and shareholders of a joint-stock company. At the same time, this indicator should also reflect the contribution of all participants to the creation and distribution of value and be effective enough for analytical decomposition in the system of financial results of an enterprise’s business activity. The indicator that addresses the mentioned requirements is value added created and distributed by an enterprise in the course of its activity. It basically reflects the performance and efficiency of an enterprise’s activity in terms of corporate governance due to the fact that value added is distributed among all participants of corporate relations in the form of wages, interest on attracted capital, dividends and taxes as well as some part of it may remain for further company’s development. A necessary and at the same time important step at the preparatory stage of developing a framework for the value added analysis is also modeling of financial statement and working out an algorithm to calculating the amount of added value created and distributed. Despite the significance of the value added indicator in measuring and further analyzing a company’s business activity, National accounting standards in Ukraine do not provide for completing a report on value added and its calculation. Сonsistent assessment and analysis of value added calculated by the subtractive and additive methods will allow not only determining its rate, but also in case of loss-making activities assessing the degree of a company’s deficit.

Development of the green economy stands as a global imperative in the present day, with particular emphasis on harmonizing industrial production with environmental standards and social responsibility. In Ukraine, the wood processing industry holds strategic importance as it has the potential to become one of the driving forces behind the development of the green economy while simultaneously fostering labor market growth. In the context of the global transition to sustainable development, the relevance of this research lies in defining the strategic role of the wood processing industry for Ukraine's green economy and labor market. The article's objective is to evaluate the potential of the wood processing sector in the context of economic greening and its impact on job creation. Tasks include analyzing the current state of the industry, identifying major problems, and developing solutions. The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the industry's development dynamics, identifies the main challenges it has faced, and outlines strategic development directions in accordance with the concept of the green economy. The necessity of state support, production modernization, and enhanced energy efficiency to strengthen the industry's competitiveness is justified. It is proven that the wood processing industry has a high potential for boosting employment and can play a key role in the realization of a green economic development model. The sector faces several serious issues, such as armed conflicts, workforce problems, and environmental aspects, which require a comprehensive approach to address. The implementation of strategic development orientations, including the development of the domestic market, innovation, investment attraction, and increased environmental awareness, is crucial for achieving successful outcomes. A set of strategic initiatives is proposed, including investments in technological upgrades and energy efficiency, market diversification, and the development of the domestic market. The conclusions highlight that the successful implementation of the recommended measures will enable Ukraine to optimize the structure of the wood processing industry, create new jobs, and strengthen the country's economy in the transition to sustainable development principles.

Re-Imagining Disenfranchised Grief as it Relates to Animal Companions and Its Importance to Social Work
Authors: Myers Matthew
Published: February 2024

This major research paper looks at the negative impacts of disenfranchised grief, specifically in relation to the loss of animals and what that means for social work. I conducted four interviews with participants where I used an arts-based narrative study to explore the stories of losing their animal, using music to help people to frame their grief. I found that all the participants experienced similar disenfranchised grief and lack of support from institutions as well as some people in their life. The participants all enjoyed the opportunity to tell their stories and explore their grief through music which helped me notice the differing ways in which people frame their grief. Some participants simply grieved the loss of their animal, while others saw it through the context of their own mortality. Social work should consider people’s connection to animals in policy design and when working directly with service users.
Queer and/or Trans Bodies Surviving the Non-Profit Industrial Complex
Authors: Wong Logan
Published: February 2024

The paper aims to explore critical anti-oppressive non-profit organizations who hope to support queer and/or trans folx in a neoliberal world without sacrificing their level of care. The purpose of this research paper is to a) study what events and circumstances may lead queer and/or trans folx to seek out services from non-profit organizations and b) to facilitate a discussion on whether critical anti-oppressive non-profit organizations support queer and/or trans folx within a neoliberal world without sacrificing their level of care. Transformative, anti-Black racist, intersectional feminist, anti-colonial, and queer theory frameworks are used to inform this topic. The methodology consisted of a narrative approach to qualitative research. The study involved semi-structured interviews with three participants, Lauren, Xavier, and Oliver, who have all chosen pseudonyms for this study. Lauren identifies as a fat White queer femme who grew up in the Durham region. Xavier identifies as a Latin/European trans male, and Oliver identifies as White and queer trans-male and a wheelchair user. All three of the participants identified as queer and/or trans and had experience in receiving services from or working in a non-profit organization. The findings highlighted how participants shared personal accounts of racism and recollections of how the “system” favours White queer and/or trans folx as opposed to racialized queer/trans folx. The participants personally recalled the barriers that exist when they have attempted to assess services in addition to the homophobic/transphobic attitudes and behaviours from healthcare professionals/ organizations that often tokenized them.
The Discursive Construction of Race: A Comparative Analysis of Government Responses to the Capitol Hill Insurrection and 2020 Black Lives Matter Protests
Authors: Paul Keisha
Published: February 2024

This examination of biopolitical responses interrogates the juxtaposition of racial construction in the wake of the 2021 Capitol Hill insurrection and 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. To probe the facilitation of anti-Black racist discursive symbolism within US and Canadian federal government leadership. Examining race as a political category, this comparative Foucauldian Discourse Analysis explores the linguistic positionality of race and political allegiance, to determine whether a proximity to Whiteness and law enforcement has reproduced anti-Black ideology. The analyzation of Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau’s tweets and national addresses are a critique of power relations, subject positions, and government compliance in the propagation of White protectionism, following a genealogical timeline of history-making events while charting shifts in racial consciousness. In problematizing the government regulated subjugation of Black bodies, we evaluate the permeation of White ideological dialogue through a critical race theoretical lens, questioning whether political discourse enlists police as a mechanism of White protectionism in the shaping of racial phenomena.
The cosmetic industry and the western construction of ageing: Impact on older Caribbean/West Indian women and their adaptation and resistance strategies
Authors: Duncan Paula
Published: February 2024

This major research paper (MRP) explores Caribbean/West Indian women’s perspectives on the impact of the western construction of ageing and the cosmetic industry and their adaptation and resistance strategies. The research questions asked what the impact of the western construction of ageing and the cosmetic industry on older women is and how have older Caribbean/West Indian women from Canada and the Caribbean responded to this impact. The theoretical framework used to analyze participants’ narratives is critical race feminism (CRF). This qualitative study uses critical ethnography as its approach to inquiry and semi-structured interviews as its data collection method. The themes that arose from these interviews were (a) western culture and ageing; (b) alternate views of ageing; (c) maintaining a healthy balance, and (d) resilience. The findings revealed that participants strongly disagreed with the western view of ageing. Instead, they saw ageing as a natural process that should be embraced.

The Effect of Unitization Strategy on Age-related Associative Memory Deficit
Authors: Li Lingqian
Published: February 2024

The associative memory deficits observed in healthy older adults have been demonstrated to be at least partially driven by age-related declines in recollection-based memory processes (Old & Naveh-Benjamin, 2008). Parks and Yonelinas (2015) suggested that unitization – a memory strategy that synthesizes two previously unrelated objects into a new single entity which represents characteristics of both – could improve young adults’ associative memory performance by promoting familiarity-based, but not recollection-based, memory processes. This dissertation aimed to examine whether this unitization strategy could promote familiarity in older adults and subsequently improve their associative memory performance. Experiment 1 was a pilot study in which twenty young (aged 18-23) and 20 older adults (aged 65-89) were instructed to self-generate unitization mnemonics (compound definition, i.e., a definition for the compound that unitizes the two words) and a non-unitization strategy (sentence frame, i.e., a sentence that connects the two words). Results showed that although older adults took longer than their younger counterparts, they were better at generating mnemonics following both types of strategy instruction. In Experiment 2, thirty-six young and 36 older adults completed an associative memory task. During encoding, they studied word pairs, each with a sentence frame or a compound definition mnemonic as generated in Experiment 1. Then their memory for items as well as for pairs was assessed using a remember/know/new paradigm. Results indicated that for both age groups, familiarity increased in the unitization relative to the non-unitization condition. However, the increase in familiarity did not help older adults improve their associative memory in the same way as observed in the young adult group within the same experiment. Experiment 3 adopted an intentional encoding paradigm and a within-subject design. Thirty-two older adults studied word pairs using both sentence frame and compound definition strategy in two random-ordered blocks. Replicating Experiment 2, the unitization strategy boosted the level of familiarity-based retrieval but did not lead to better associative memory performance in older adults. Taken together, the results of this dissertation suggest that although unitization increased familiarity for older adults, it did not mitigate their associative memory deficits more effectively than a non-unitization strategy.

Ancaman triple-burden baik endemik, emerging, dan re-emerging, masih menjadi tantangan bagi dunia kesehatan. Indonesia menghadapinya dengan mengembangkan Early Warning Alert and Response System (EWARS) atau Sistem Kewaspadaan Dini dan Respon (SKDR). Sistem ini mendeteksi kesiagaan terhadap perkembangan 24 jenis penyakit yang berdampak pada kesehatan masyarakat. Sistem ini bekerja dengan cara memantau perkembangan tren suatu penyakit menular potensial wabah/KLB dari waktu ke waktu dalam periode mingguan. Tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah melakukan analisis sistem untuk mendapatkan deskripsi dan permasalahan sistem. Analisis dilakukan pada data sekunder yang diperoleh dari dashboard web pelaporan teknologi digital SKDR. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis studi deskriptif dengan prosedur analisis data sekunder. Data menunjukkan SKDR generasi V1 pada dashboard belum memuat pelaporan berbasis indicator (IBS) dan berbasis kejadian (EBS), sedangkan pada generasi V2 sudah memuat pelaporan berbasis IBS dan EBS. Pada tahun 2016 jumlah alert  yang direspon kurang lebih 55% dan meningkat menjadi sekitar 70% di tahun 2019. Ketepatan laporan unit pelapor menurut Provinsi tahun 2021 mencapai 5,25% dan tahun 2022 mencapai 28,95%. Kelengkapan laporan tahun 2021 mencapai (10,52%) dan tahun 2022 (81,58%). Peningkatan capaian target indikator menunjukkan ada perkembangan pemanfaatan teknologi digital dari Sistem Surveilans kewaspadaan Dini dan Respon di semua unit pelapor. Hal ini sejalan dengan pemenuhan komitmen global IHR 2005 Pemerintah Indonesia. Pemerataan jaringan internet yang stabil diperlukan di seluruh wilayah unit pelapor.
