Published: October 2024

The study assessed the effect of public debt on economic progress in Nigeria from 1986 to 2022. It investigates the connections among gross domestic product growth rate which is used to measure economic progress, domestic debt, external debt, gross capital formation and exchange rate to throw light on their effect on the path of economic progress of Nigeria. Employing ARDL method, with data sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and World Bank Development Indicators. Findings reveals that domestic debt and external debt had a positive insignificant short-term effect on Nigeria’s economic progress and both domestic and external debt have an adverse effect on Nigeria’s economic progress in the long term. Also, gross capital formation had an adverse insignificant effect both in the short and long term, exchange rate had a negative insignificant short-term effect, but its long run effect was positive and significant on Nigeria’s economic progress. A long run cointegrating equilibrium relationship was established among the variables in the study. Based on the findings, the study recommends among others that policy makers should manage debt prudently, avoid over reliance on debt as it is only a short-term solution, boost revenue generation and capital formation to drive economic progress and manage exchange rate properly to avoid fluctuations as it has potential to boost Nigeria long-term economic progress.

Published: October 2024

Introdução: O traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE) é uma das principais causas de morte em indivíduos de 1 a 45 anos, sendo especialmente prevalente em acidentes de trânsito, principalmente entre homens jovens. Nos Estados Unidos, o TCE resulta em mais de 50.000 mortes anuais e gera um impacto econômico superior a US$ 80 bilhões. No Brasil, entre 700.000 e 1,1 milhão de pessoas sofrem TCE, com 20-30% apresentando lesões moderadas a graves. A patogênese do TCE envolve lesões primárias e secundárias, que podem levar a déficits neurológicos significativos e permanentes, e requer tratamento especializado para mitigar esses danos. Metodologia: O estudo foi realizado por meio de uma revisão sistemática de literatura, analisando estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos sobre o tratamento de TCE em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTI). Foram incluídos pacientes com TCE moderado a grave que necessitavam de cuidados intensivos, excluindo aqueles com outras condições clínicas que pudessem interferir nos resultados. A revisão destacou a importância de uma avaliação contínua e precisa para a escolha das intervenções mais adequadas, considerando o manejo da pressão intracraniana, ventilação mecânica, controle da temperatura, e intervenções cirúrgicas. Resultados e Discussão: Após a triagem de 180 estudos, 8 foram selecionados para análise detalhada. A craniotomia e a craniectomia descompressiva foram identificadas como intervenções cirúrgicas cruciais para pacientes com hematomas epidurais (EDH) e subdurais (SDH). Estudos indicaram que o uso de medicamentos como ácido tranexâmico mostrou potencial na redução da mortalidade, mas outros, como citicolina e eritropoetina, não apresentaram benefícios claros. A pesquisa também explorou o papel das vesículas extracelulares no diagnóstico e tratamento do TCE, evidenciando seu potencial como ferramenta diagnóstica e terapêutica. Conclusão: Os resultados reforçam a importância de uma abordagem multidisciplinar e personalizada no manejo do TCE grave. As intervenções cirúrgicas, como a craniotomia e craniectomia, são essenciais para evitar a deterioração neurológica, mas a eficácia de outras terapias, como o uso de medicamentos, ainda requer mais estudos. O estudo destaca a necessidade contínua de pesquisas para aprimorar o tratamento do TCE, visando melhores desfechos clínicos e a preservação da função neurológica.

RESUMO
Introdução: O artigo discute o crescimento das tecnologias médicas e seu impacto nas cirurgias, destacando a importância da gestão adequada de incisões para prevenir infecções do sítio cirúrgico (ISSC), uma complicação frequente que afeta de 2 a 5% das cirurgias. A adoção de abordagens como a recuperação aprimorada após a cirurgia (ERAS) visa minimizar incisões e focar nos cuidados pós-operatórios para melhorar a cicatrização e reduzir infecções. O uso de curativos evoluiu para materiais que, além de cobrir a ferida, também promovem a cicatrização e protegem contra infecções.
Metodologia: O estudo adotou uma revisão sistemática e meta-análise baseada em dados de 10 anos coletados de bancos como PubMed e LILACS. Focou em cirurgias de grande porte e práticas inovadoras, como o uso de curativos avançados e protocolos otimizados de esterilização. A pesquisa destacou a importância de equipes multidisciplinares, como cirurgiões e infectologistas, para uma prevenção eficaz de ISSC.
Resultados e Discussão: O processo de seleção rigorosa incluiu 150 estudos iniciais, sendo que 5 foram analisados em profundidade. A meta-análise revelou que curativos de silicone com vitamina E e mupirocina foram os mais eficazes na redução de ISSC. Embora outros curativos, como os à base de prata, não tenham mostrado eficácia significativa, a análise evidenciou a necessidade de mais estudos robustos para validar esses resultados, considerando fatores econômicos e clínicos.
Considerações Finais: O estudo conclui que, embora alguns curativos avançados mostrem eficácia na redução de ISSC, a falta de estudos com maior rigor metodológico e maior escala limita as conclusões. Futuros ensaios clínicos devem focar na escolha personalizada de curativos, considerando o tipo de cirurgia e as condições do paciente, além de investigar aspectos econômicos e o tempo ideal de uso. Isso poderá contribuir para o desenvolvimento de diretrizes mais eficazes para prevenir infecções em cirurgias de grande porte.
4IR and Transformation: Ally or Opponent? Reflections on the South African Higher Education System
Authors: Khunou Grace , Pillay Roshini
Published: October 2024

The introduction of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) as a significant agenda item in the South African higher education system came at a time when the aspirations of students and staff were on significant shifts in transformation. Thus, the take of many theorists was initially negative. Nevertheless, since COVID-19, contentions on the 4IR have rightfully shifted to engage with both the challenges and possibilities of 4IR. In this chapter, we engage with these affordances and challenges from the lens of teaching and learning technologies in the South African context. We make a case for the importance of acknowledging the challenges so as to open up space for the possibilities and conclude by stating the significance of co-creation in making space for growing the affordances of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) and 4IR generally.

Published: October 2024

Mahua, scientifically known as Madhuca longifolia, is a commercially significant deciduous tree that plays a vital role in the economy of Jharkhand's tribal communities. The tree yields various valuable products, including edible flowers, fruits, oil-rich seeds, and timber. Mahua flowers are a source of income, sold in local markets, and the extracted oil has commercial applications. The present study was conducted in five villages/blocks: Barkagaon, Bundubatka, Lurunga, Patra, and Barsopani of Hazaribagh district and six villages/blocks: Burmu, Chama, Kedal, Baltharwa, Ramdaga, and Lapra of Ranchi District. The local village markets, Bisrampur, Harli, Badam, Balia, Gamaria, Morpiri, Burmu Chowk, Susai, Sanicher Bazar, Hutar, Bijupara, Brambe, mandar, sons madrassa and Mandis like Bhurkunda, Patratu, Ramgarh, Hazaribagh and Ranchi Pandra mandis were visited by the author to see the collection and price of the Mahua produce.
The selected villages/blocks are located adjacent to the forest, and the residents' livelihoods are partially reliant on the collection of non-timber forest products (NTFP) and the sale of Mahua in the marketplace. The simple random sampling method was employed. Data collection is through household interviews, field surveys, and market surveys.

This research explored the various factors affecting the purchase intention of Thai consumers towards genetically modified foods. To ensure the reliability of our findings, we conducted an extensive online survey in Bangkok over the course of three months, from June to August. The data analysis was mainly based on partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), a robust method for analyzing complex relationships. The results of the analysis confirmed the validity of all the hypotheses, with the exception of the direct relationship between food labels and purchase intention. Additionally, we found that all the mediation effects were statistically significant. In the study, we delve into a comprehensive discussion of the results and their corresponding implications, providing a thorough understanding of the factors influencing consumer behavior in the context of biotechnology and food choices.
Development of the snow cover dynamics model of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia
Authors:   Hydrometeorological Research Center of Russian Federation, Simonov Yu.A.
Published: October 2024

Conceptual models of runoff formation used in the operational practice of hydrological forecasting by the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia include simplified parameterization of snow cover dynamics based on the use of snow cover melting coefficient, water-retaining capacity of snow and secondary freezing of meltwater in case of return of negative air temperatures. This schematization of the process is well established for the reliable calculation of the snow water equivalent for subsequent use in the calculation of meltwater inflow to the catchment surface and the calculation of streamflow characteristics. At the same time, the lack of calculation of snow density and snow height in the used schematization restricts the use of schemes for calculating of soil freezing depth in hydrological models, which seems to be extremely important for modelling runoff on mid-latitudes rivers, i.e. for the most Russian rivers. To overcome this disadvantage, the snow density and snow height parameterization was added to the calculation scheme of the model, which was verified using Roshydromet’s snow measurement routes data and shown a good and satisfactory quality of modeling of model characteristics.

Authors:   All-Russian Research Institute of Agricultural Meteorology, Kleshchenko A.D.
Published: October 2024

A brief description of the automated operational system for 10-day monitoring of droughts developed and operating at the Drought Monitoring Center of the All-Russian Research Institute of Agricultural Meteorology is provided. The system uses meteorological information from the network of weather stations. To obtain more detailed information on the spatial distribution of droughts, it is proposed to use satellite information (VIRS scanner of the SUOMI NPP satellite) along with ground-based data. For this purpose, it is proposed to calibrate satellite information (VCI index) based on ground information (HTC index) using test sites located near weather stations. Calculations of the aridity assessment for the territory of the considered federal districts using the proposed method are presented. Satisfactory convergence with the data obtained from ground information is observed. It is planned to refine the proposed procedure to operational application.

Starting from an initial triangle, one may wish to check whether a sequence of iterations is convergent, or is convergent in some shape, and to find the limit. In this paper we first prove a general result for the convergence of a sequence of nested triangles (Theorem 2.2), then we study some properties of the power curve $\Gamma$ of a triangle. These are used to prove that the sequence of nested triangles defined by a point
$Q^{(s)}$ on the power curve converges to a point for every $s\in [0,2]$ (Theorem 4.2). In particular, we obtain that the sequence of nested triangles defined by the incenter converges to a point, completing the main result in Ismailescu, D.; Jacobs, J. On sequences of nested triangles. {\em Period. Math. Hungar.}
{\bf 53} (2006), no.(1-2), 169--184. Finally, we present some numerical simulations which inspire open questions regarding the convergence of such iterations.

In this article, we consider $(M^n, g(t))$ an $n$-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold whose metric $g(t)$ evolves by the abstract geometric flow and the geometric constant $\lambda_a^b$ as the lowest constant such that the equation
$$
- \Delta u + a u \log u + b S u = \lambda_a^b u
$$
with $\int_M u^2 d\mu = 1$ has a positive solution, where $a\ (>0)$ and $b$ are two real constants. Here we find the evolution formula for $\lambda_a^b$ on $(M^n, g(t))$ evolving along the abstract geometric flow.

The crossing number $\mathrm{cr}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edge crossings over all drawings of $G$ in the plane. The main aim of this paper is to give the crossing numbers of the join products of seven graphs on six vertices with paths and cycles on $n$ vertices. The proofs are done with the help of several well-known auxiliary statements, the idea of which is extended by a suitable classification of subgraphs that do not cross the edges of the examined graphs. Finally, for $m$ at least three and $n=5$, we also establish the validity of a conjecture introduced by Sta\v s and Valiska concerning the crossings numbers of the join products of the wheels on $m+1$ vertices with the paths on $n$ vertices.

In this article, we consider and investigate a split convex feasibility problem involving two
bounded linear operators in Hilbert spaces. We introduce a self-adaptive CQ-type algorithm by selecting the
stepsize which is independent of the operator norms and establish a strong convergence result of the proposed
algorithm under some mild control conditions. Moreover, we propose a self-adaptive relaxed CQ-type algo-
rithm for solving the problem constrained by sub-level sets of convex functions. A numerical example and
an application in compressed sensing are also given to illustrate the convergence behaviour of our proposed
algorithms. Our results in this paper improve and generalize some existing results in the literature

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate whether germline alterations of exon 5 of TP53 gene could be detected in the blood of known men with prostate cancer and to assess the potential association between the genomic alteration affecting this gene and clinicopathological characteristics of the patients.
Methods: Forty-eight blood samples from men diagnosed with prostate cancer were analyzed for TP53 germline mutations and conﬁrmed by Sanger sequencing. The frequency and distribution of high-frequency mutations were analyzed according to the pathological criteria of the patients and a computational study was performed to assess the effect of new mutations.
Results: The Sanger sequencing revealed that 79% of the population studied carry mutations in TP53 gene. In summary, a total of 137 mutations have been identified in this gene, out of which 115 are new mutations. Frameshift mutations were the most frequent; the mutation c.392delA was recorded in fifteen cases (31%); the mutations c.383delC and c.432delG were observed at a frequency of 12.5% and 10% respectively. The most frequent missense mutation was the variant c.502C>A (p.His168Asn) identified in eleven patients (23%). One nonsense mutation was identified in one patient and resulted in a stop codon in position 126 (tyrosine). All codons affected by these alterations are part of the DNA binding domain of the protein TP53.
Conclusions: The germline mutation frequency observed in prostate cancer patients, and the new mutations recorded in TP53 gene, could be in favor of a potential association of genomic alterations in this gene and prostate cancer genesis, thereby constituting a tool, similar to other genes in the DNA repair pathway such as BRCA1 and BRCA2. This could contribute to the advancement of diagnosis and therapeutic strategies for prostate cancer.

Upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) are rare subsets of urothelial cancer, which typically present with more aggressive course. Molecular markers stratifying urothelial tumors as luminal subtype and non-luminal subtype tumors have been proposed to select patients who may have greater or lesser benefit from neoadjuvant systemic therapy in bladder cancer, though not yet evaluated in UTUC. Here, a single-institution study retrospectively obtained clinical and genomic information in patients with UTUC and evaluated four patient tumors using the Decipher Bladder® assay and Foundation Medicine® test. All four patients had non-luminal molecular subtype including basal (N = 4) and mixed basal/claudin-low (N = 2) subtypes. The best clinical response achieved was stable disease in a patient who had basal/claudin-low subtype with residual ypT3 after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. For the remaining three patients, all were treated with platinum-based chemotherapy for eventual metastatic disease but all three showed progressive disease with limited overall survival, highlighting their aggressive course. The non-luminal subtype and lack of FGFR alteration may partly explain the poor overall outcomes while the real-world benefit of next generation sequencing for clinical use in UTUC patients require further clarification in a larger cohort study.

The study’s findings suggest new applications for End-of-Life Household Materials (EoLHMs), with a focus on new materials derived from textile wastes. The aim is twofold: explore innovative methods to promote the circular economy by reusing EoLHMs in the building sector and refurbishing buildings with particular attention to home-made panels, to favour disadvantaged contexts. Three different materials were tested, and their thermal conductivity was measured according to the ISO 8301 standard. The thermal conductivity as a function of the density was also investigated for a material derived from hemp. Comparisons with other textile materials are presented as well. As a result, the thermal conductivity of the materials ranged from 0.035 to 0.049 W/(m K), typical for insulating materials used in refurbishing applications.

Policy Decision-Making for Population Decline Using AI to Estimate Population Density From Well-Being Indicators
Authors: Fukuda Tatsuki
Published: October 2024

This paper examines whether a model that infers habitable area population density from regional well-being indicators can serve as a guide for policy decision-making to address population decline. The study uses 51 subjective evaluation items from the regional well-being indicators and habitable area population density calculated from e-stat, a Japanese government database. The inference model was created through ensemble learning, generating six weak learners and combining them with a meta-model to form the final model. Using data from Shimonoseki City in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, we varied the value of a single subjective evaluation item to observe changes in the inferred population density. The results showed that subjective evaluations related to public transportation, crime prevention, dining options, and local government initiatives significantly impact habitable area population density. Prioritizing these factors could enhance resident satisfaction and potentially mitigate the issue of population decline.
Decision-Making Method for the Evaluation of Success Factors of ABET Accreditation
Authors: Dursun Mehtap , Goker Nazli , Unal Mert
Published: October 2024

ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology), formerly known as the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, accredits university programs in computers, engineering, and engineering technology. Although ABET accreditation is optional, graduates of programs with this accreditation are regarded as having knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours that are comparable to those of other countries. The ABET Accreditation process has always been quite structured and methodical. It has helped identify and fix any inadequacies by comparing different engineering and computer programs to worldwide standards. The Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) approach was used in this study to ascertain the relative value of the ABET process’s success elements. An application case study, conducted at a Turkish institution, serves as an illustration.

Tyrimo tikslas. Analizuojant mokslinę literatūrą išnagrinėti ir aprašyti alkoholio, kofeino, nikotino ir benzodiazepinų poveikį miegui. Metodai. Literatūros paieška atlikta „UpToDate“, „PubMed“, „ScienceDirect“ duomenų bazėse. Beveik visos apžvelgtos publikacijos yra ne senesnės nei 10 metų. Straipsnyje pateikiama tik apibendrinta mokslinės literatūros apžvalga. Rezultatai ir išvados. Visos priklausomybę sukeliančios medžiagos (alkoholis, kofeinas, nikotinas ir benzodiazepinai) reikšmingai veikia miego architektūrą. Alkoholio vartojimas leidžia greičiau užmigti, tačiau sukelia dažnesnius prabudimus naktį ir sutrumpina bendrą miego trukmę. Ilgalaikis ir gausus alkoholio vartojimas siejamas su lėtinio miego sutrikimo rizika, ypač nemiga. Šis sutrikimas dažniau pasireiškia asmenims, jau priklausomiems nuo alkoholio, todėl būtina riboti jo vartojimą ir vengti jo kaip savipagalbos priemonės, esant nemigai. Kofeinas ir nikotinas lemia ilgesnį užmigimo laiką bei prastesnę miego kokybę. Dėl stipresnio kofeino poveikio popietinėmis valandomis rekomenduojama vengti jo vartojimo antroje dienos pusėje. Nustatytas ryšys tarp ilgalaikio nikotino vartojimo ir obstrukcinės miego apnėjos bei nemigos rizikos. Benzodiazepinų vartojimas leidžia greičiau užmigti, sumažina prabudimų skaičių ir prailgina bendrą miego trukmę, todėl padeda užtikrinti kokybišką miegą. Dėl šios priežasties benzodiazepinai laikomi veiksmingais medikamentais lėtiniam nemigos sutrikimui gydyti. Ryšys tarp ilgalaikio benzodiazepinų vartojimo ir lėtinio miego sutrikimo rizikos nėra nustatytas, tačiau atsiradus tolerancijai ir priklausomybei nemiga gali pasireikšti kaip abstinencijos sindromo dalis.

Background and objectives. Weakness and atrophy in the quadriceps femoris lead to decreased functional capacity, heightened fall risk, and increased mortality among older women. While moderate-intensity strength training is generally recommended for the elderly, higher-intensity exercises carry a greater risk of injury. Low-intensity exercises with blood flow restriction offer an alternative, providing comparable benefits to high-intensity training. This study aims to evaluate the effects of moderate-intensity and low-intensity blood flow restriction exercises on quadriceps femoris strength and thigh circumference in healthy elderly women. Materials and methods. The sample size was of 88 subjects equally randomized into a moderate-intensity group and a blood-flow restriction group. The moderate-intensity group performed strengthening exercises with a load of ≥40–60% of 1RM, 3 sets, 36 repetitions. The blood-flow restriction group conducted exercises at 20–30% of 1RM, completing 75 repetitions across 4 sets, using a pressure cuff applied to the upper thigh at 50 mmHg or 40% of the Arterial Occlusion Pressure (AOP). Both groups exercised twice a week over a 6-week period. Muscle strength (assessed via dynamometer and 1RM) and thigh circumference were recorded before and after the intervention. Results. After six weeks of intervention, both groups showed a significant increase in muscle strength and thigh circumference (p <0.001). However, no notable differences were observed between the moderate intensity group and the blood flow restriction group regarding quadriceps strength (dynamometer), quadriceps 1RM strength, or thigh circumference (p >0.05). Muscle soreness was reported in 18% of participants in the moderate intensity group. Conclusion. Low-intensity resistance exercises with blood flow restriction in older women can promote strength gains and muscle hypertrophy comparable to moderate-intensity training, while offering a safer alternative.
