Published: November 2023

The Rwandan Freight forwarders federation (RWAFFA) was established in 2013 to deal with the fragility that was in the clearing and forwarding industry, which worked without defined and professional procedures that led to poor and inefficient practices within the industry. The objective of this study was to examine inbound logistics metrics on the performance of Freight forwarders federation in Rwanda. A case of RWAFFA in Kicukiro District. This study was guided by three specific objectives which are toto evaluate order fulfilment accuracy level of freight forwarders in Rwanda, to determine the status of on time delivered shipments, in case of freight forwarders in Rwanda and to analyse the degree of safety for goods handled by freight forwarders in Rwanda. The research was of great significant to the researcher, MKU and freight forwarding Industry in Rwanda. The descriptive research design with two mixed approach of qualitative and quantitative was used to collect data by use of interview guide and questionnaire. The 160 respondents of the study were selected from the target population of 246 including employees from RWAFFA management team, clearing agents and importers firms operating in Kicukiro District using the Krejcie and Morgan table with a simple random and census method of selecting the sample size. The collected results were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis with use of percentage, mean and standard deviation and inferential statistics by the use of Pearson correlation (r) and multiple linear logistic regression analysis. Data were also presented in figure, tables and narratives because the qualitative data were analyzed with the use of thematic analysis which require the researcher to present the qualitative results in narrative. In this study, research findings showed that inbound logistic metrics were adopted to reduce the damaged shipment in freight forwarding within Rwandan Freight Forwarders association (RWAFFA).Therefore,The intercept of the regression was 13.803 and statistically significant p= 0.000).While the coefficient of order accuracy was 0.100 and p = 0.003. On time delivery had an intercept of 0.043 but significant at 0.002 and finally safety of goods had it at 0.065 and also positive. Despite the problem arising within Rwandan freight forwarders association in Kicukiro District such as Inadequate Performance measurement and metrics pertaining to SCM, lack of professionalism, clear regulations and to some extend absence of documented procedures to follow, delays and unreliability, lack of previous empirical research that examined the effects of inbound logistics metrics on performance of freight forwarders.

Published: November 2023

In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) in women with no significant risk factors for developing GDM. After obtaining approval from the Dubai Scientific Research Ethics Committee, a retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the Primary Health Center of the Dubai Health Authority. The electronic medical records system collected data from 200 pregnant women with a BMI of less than 30 kg/m2 who had completed the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and had their vitamin D levels measured between weeks 24 and 28 of gestation. The women were divided into two groups using a random sample procedure. Group A consisted of women with normal serum 25(OH) D concentration (>30.0 ng/mL), while Group B consisted of women with low serum 25(OH) D concentration (<30.0 ng/mL for insufficiency and <10.0 ng/mL for deficiency). The data collected were analyzed using SPSS version 28. Out of the 200 women who met the inclusion criteria, 58 were primigravida (29%), 122 were multigravida 1-3 (61%), 15 were multigravida 4-6 (7.5%), and 5 were multigravida >6 (2.5%). The average age of women in Group A was 24.5±2.4 years, while in Group B, it was 25.0±2.2 years. The average BMI of women in Group A was 26.6±1.5, while in Group B, it was 26.8±2.5. The study's results revealed that 12% of the women in Group A and 20% in Group B developed GDM (p= <0.01). Our data analysis showed a positive correlation between low vitamin D levels and the development of GDM. However, further large-scale randomized controlled studies are required to establish a causal association between low vitamin D levels and GDM.

Lung cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide and the leading cancer in men, with women following closely behind as the second most affected group. In 2020, there were more than 2.2 million new reported cases of lung cancer. According to Globocan, it is the third most common cancer in Pakistan, with an incidence rate of 5.9% in 2018 and a mortality rate of 7.8%. This study aims to explore the epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes associated with lung cancer in Pakistan. The study is a retrospective observational investigation conducted at Jinnah Hospital in Lahore. The data of 50 adult patients who were diagnosed with biopsy-proven lung carcinoma, aged 20 years or older, and had received at least four cycles of first-line therapy were collected from their files. Patients were enrolled at random, regardless of gender. The results showed that 80% of the patients were male, while only 20% were female. The majority of the patients, 58%, had a history of smoking, with males accounting for 50% of this group. At presentation, 78% of the patients had stage 4 disease, and 68% received platinum with paclitaxel upfront. Forty-eight percent of the patients were above 60 years of age. Squamous cell and adenocarcinoma lung were the most common types of lung cancer, accounting for 34% and 30% of cases, respectively. After four cycles of first-line therapy, 30% of patients showed a partial response, while 56% continued with second-line treatment. In conclusion, lung cancer is a significant health concern in Pakistan, and measures are needed to decrease its incidence. Further studies with larger sample sizes are required to understand better the prevalence and effectiveness of treatment paradigms for lung cancer in Pakistan.

Published: November 2023

As people live longer, the number of individuals aged 75 and above is increasing. This makes it crucial to provide careful medical care for elderly cardiac patients. Our study was conducted at the Punjab Institute of Cardiology and involved 300 patients divided into three age groups: those under 60, those between 60-75, and those over 75. Participants had no history of cardiac surgery. We documented preoperative demographics and other relevant variables and then analyzed post-operative data concerning complications and other variables separately for each age group. Our research revealed a significant association between age and 30-day mortality (p < 0.001), with a 2.5% incidence of 30-day mortality observed among those over 75 years old. We also found that re-intubation, dialysis, extended ICU stays, and atrial fibrillation occurred more frequently in the over-75 age group compared to other age groups (P < 0.001). Our findings highlight the significant impact of age on mortality after cardiac surgery, as well as the heightened likelihood of complications in elderly individuals. Therefore, it is essential to carefully consider age-related organ abnormalities and the increasing burden of age-related health problems when managing elderly patients who undergo cardiac surgery. These insights suggest a need for personalized strategies to address the unique challenges posed by advanced age in the context of cardiac surgical procedures.

Published: November 2023

Accurate forecasting of future electricity consumption is necessary to create a satisfactory design for an electricity distribution system. To enhance forecasting accuracy, autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) was compared with hybrid of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) plus autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) denoted by (EEMD+ARIMA), to know which model is better performing a historical US monthly electricity consumption from DEC-2000 to SEP-2022 were used. The data were divided into training set (90%) and testing set (10%) to insure the model accuracy. The mean absolute square error, root mean square error, mean absolute error and mean absolute percentage error measurements were used to test the ARIMA and hybrid EEMD+ARIMA performance, the results show that the hybrid EEMD+ARIMA outperforms ARIMA model with the lowest RMSE, MAE, MPE, MAPE, MASE. For the best model, Akaike Information Criterion and Bayesian Information Criterion were applied to choose the best. The results show that the AIC and BIC of the EEMD+ARIMA were lower than the ARIMA model, which indicates that the EEMD+ARIMA is better than the single ARIMA in forecasting of electricity consumption. The conclusion reveals that the hybrid EEMD+ARIMA provides more accurate forecasting and performs significantly better than the ARIMA in forecasting of electricity.

Öz

Amaç: Akran zorbalığı küresel bir sorundur. İsim takma, dışlama, dedikodu yapma, malına zarar verme, vurma veya itme gibi çeşitli şekillerde olabilen akran zorbalığı, okul çağındaki çocukların deneyimlediği, maruz kalan tüm öğrencileri -zorba, kurban ve seyircileri- etkileyen süreğen bir sorundur. Zorbalık, herhangi bir nedenle kendini başkalarından güçlü/ üstün hisseden bir kişinin, kendisinden bir şekilde daha zayıf/ savunmasız gördüğü bir kişiyi tekrar tekrar, kasıtlı, istenmeyen söz veya eylemlerle hedef alarak "gücünü" saldırgan bir şekilde kullanmasıdır. Zorbaların hedefi olan kurbanlar ya fiziksel ya da duygusal olarak incinirler ve başlarına gelenleri kendi başlarına durdurmakta zorlanırlar. Akranlar tarafından zorbalığa uğramak, olaylara maruz kalan tüm bireyler için kısa ve uzun vadeli olumsuz sonuçlar doğurabilir. Okullarda zorbalık olaylarına müdahale edilmediğinde, zorbalığın etkileri yetişkinlikte de devam etmektedir. Bu nedenle erken yaşlardan itibaren deneyimlenen zorbalık davranışları ve bunların çocukların kaygı ve sosyal anksiyete düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılması akran zorbalığını önleyici politika ve müdahale programları geliştirilmesi için önemlidir. Araştırmada akran zorbalığı davranışlarının türü ve sıklığı belirlenerek yaşanan akran zorbalığının çocukların kaygı ve sosyal anksiyete düzeyleriyle ilişkisi Çankırı örnekleminde incelenmiştir.

Yöntem: Araştırma küme örnekleme yöntemiyle iki ilkokulda ve 590 öğrenci üzerinde yapılmıştır. Veriler Akran Zorbalığı Ölçeği Çocuk Formu, Çocuklar İçin Durumluk-Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri ve Çocuklar için Sosyal Anksiyete Ölçeği-Yenilenmiş Formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Veriler betimsel analizler yoluyla SPSS programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.

Bulgular: Araştırmada ilkokul öğrencilerinin yaklaşık dörtte birinin akran zorbalığına maruz kaldığı, kurban ve zorbalık davranışları cinsiyete, kronik rahatsızlığa, ebeveynlerin boşanmış olmasına ve sınıf düzeyine göre farklılaştığı bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, kurban puanları ile zorbalık, sürekli kaygı ve sosyal anksiyete puanları arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir korelasyon bulunmuştur.

Sonuç: Okullarda zorbalık davranışlarının düzenli olarak incelenmesi ve kurban ve seyircilere zorbalık durumunda neler yapabileceklerinin öğretilmesi zorbalıkla ilişkili depresyon ve kaygının azalmasını sağlayabilir.

Özgünlük: Araştırma Çankırı’da akran zorbalığı sıklığı üzerine yapılan ilk çalışmadır.

Bulgular: Araştırmanın bulgularında, cinsiyet değişkeninin öz yeterlilik algısı oluşmasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark oluşturmadığı, yaş ve mesleki kıdem göre anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir. Bulgularda, psikologların meslek alanında öz yeterlilik kazanmaları için uygulamalı eğitimin önemli olduğunu ifade etmişlerdir. Mesleğe başlayan psikologların mesleki deneyimlerinin eksik olduğunu, uygulama alanlarında kendilerini yetersiz gördüklerini ve kullanılacak araç ve yöntem konusunda mentor yardımına ihtiyaç duyduklarını belirtmişlerdir. Kişisel ve mesleki deneyim kazanmaları açısından mentor uygulamasının önemini ifade ederek bu uygulama hakkında olumlu görüşler bildirmişlerdir.

Sonuç: Elde edilen sonuçlar çerçevesinde çalışan psikologların öz yeterlilik algısının düşük olduğu sağlanacak mentorluk uygulamasının mesleki deneyim kazanmada ve öz yeterlilik algısı oluşmada faydalı olabileceği düşülmektedir.

Özgünlük: Ülkemizde Psikologların öz-yeterlilik algısının oluşmasında mentorlük rolünü inceleyen bir çalışma alan yazında bulunmamaktadır. Psikologların öz-yeterlilik algısının mesleki gelişimleri açısından önemini karma bir araştırma modeli ile ele alan bu çalışma özgün ve alan yazına yeni bulgular ekleyen bir araştırmadır.

Di sektor korporasi, terdapat adanya dorongan dalam penyajian informasi aktivitas perusahaan yang berkaitan dengan lingkungan. Laporan keberlanjutan merupakan penyajian informasi kuantitatif dan kualitatif terkait dengan aktivitas perusahaan yang meliputi aktivitas ekonomi, sosial dan lingkungan. Salah satu bagian dari informasi lingkungan dalam laporan keberlanjutan adalah pengungkapan emisi Gas Rumah Kaca (GRK). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengulas perkembangan pengungkapan emisi GRK di Indonesia dan peran GRI 300 dalam membantu perusahaan untuk mengungkapkan emisi GRK. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode scoping review dengan menggunakan alat bantu berupa aplikasi seperti Publish or Perish dalam pencarian literatur, yang kemudian dilakukan analisis dengan menggunakan teknik analisis tematik dan dijelaskan secara naratif. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa saat ini pengungkapan emisi GRK masih belum optimal di Indonesia walaupun saat ini telah terdapat pedoman dalam standar GRI 300. Penyediaan laporan keberlanjutan termasuk penyajian infomasi GRK dianggap suatu kewajiban yang harus dipenuhi oleh perusahaan saat ini mengingat belum terdapat standar baku yang digunakan oleh seluruh perusahaan. Selain itu, saat ini masih belum terdapat sanksi yang dikenakan kepada peruashaan apabila tidak menyajikan informasi tersebut.

The interdisciplinarity of knowledge is limited according to ethical aspects that recognize the procedures to explain, validate and replicate cognitions with the intention of presenting a theory that is accepted by as many beings as possible to establish an updatable quantitative data that is difficult to refute. Having said this, it was discovered that ethics is an explicit consideration in the guidelines for the formulation of the work culture and a stipulation requested in the vast majority of statistical procedures according to standards determined by the authorities responsible for handling data found and disclosed and the integrity of the sources and communication channels used for the respective purpose. With this in mind, the objective was to analyzethe relevance of ethics in the culture of work and identify its importance in statistical procedures; so it was discussed with 5 inquiries publishedbetween 2019 and 2023, through the pure research, the qualitative approach, the systematic review and the flowchart Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).Raised the above, it was concluded that, although a relationship between the minimum margin of error of results and the absence of ethical considerations in hierarchicalorganizations is not explicit, the aspect formed by several moral conceptions is crucial to facilitate influence.

На текущий момент, ни один из четырех способов обоснования отступлений от сводов правил не дает иммунитет «необходимости и достаточности» компенсирующих мероприятий для приемлемой безопасности зданий и сооружений. Незнание «природы», разра- ботанных ранее требований безопасности может привести к необоснованному удорожанию проекта. Использование комплексного подхода обоснования отступления от сводов правил позволяет подтвердить или опровергнуть необходимость и достаточность компенсирующих технических решений. Основной особенностью комплексного подхода является объединение классического метода расчета механической надежности зданий и сооружений с экспериментом или коллегиальным мнением специалистов, которые имеют опыт проектирования, строительства и эксплуатации аналогичных объектов в аналогичных природно-климатических условиях.
СРАВНИТЕЛЬНЫЙ РАСЧЕТ НА СЕЙСМИЧЕСКОЕ ВОЗДЕЙСТВИЕ КАРКАСНОГО ЗДАНИЯ ПРЯМЫМ ДИНАМИЧЕСКИМ МЕТОДОМ И ЛИНЕЙНО- СПЕКТРАЛЬНЫМ
Authors: Пеклов П.Н.
Published: November 2023

В статье приведены результаты и анализ сравнительного расчета на сейсмическое воздействие линейно-спектральным методом и методом прямого интегрирования дифференциального уравнения движения стрежневой системы с n степенями свободы. Пред- ставлены основные разрешающие уравнения метода квадратичного ускорения и алгоритм вычислительного процесса. Сравнение ре- зультатов численного расчета проведенные на примере 4‑этажного каркасного здания консольного типа, выполненные упомянутыми двумя методами показывают, что максимальные смещения от действия акселерограмм, в несколько раз превышают перемещения, полученные при расчете линейно-спектральным методом. Сделан вывод о том, что рекомендации Норм о необходимости прямого динамического расчета наряду с расчетом линейно-спектральным методом полностью оправданы.
ЧИСЛЕННЫЕ МЕТОДЫ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЙ НАПРЯЖЕННО- ДЕФОРМИРОВАННОГО И ПРОЧНОСТНОГО СОСТОЯНИЯ ГРУНТОВЫХ ПЛОТИН ПРИ СЕЙСМИЧЕСКИХ ВОЗДЕЙСТВИЯХ

Приводится методика численного исследования сейсмостойкости грунтовой плотины в пространственной постановке в расче- те на акселерограмму с учетом упруго-вязкопластической модели грунта с определением основных критериев работоспособности грунтовых плотин, таких как: остаточных перемещений после землетрясения, напряженного и прочностного состояния грунта в откосных зонах плотины и на напорной грани противофильтрационного элемента. Приводятся результаты расчетов напряжен- но-деформированного и прочностного состояния высокой каменно-земляной плотины на сейсмические воздействия, выполненные по разработанному автором пакету программ для ПК. Приведены результаты исследований статического и динамического напря- женно-деформированного состояния плотины, проведено сопоставление полученных результатов с результатами расчетов по линей- но-спектральной методике. При расчетах по временной схеме определены остаточные деформации в плотине к концу землетрясения. Отмечено, что наличие берм на верховом и низовом откосах плотины не повышают сейсмическую устойчивость, но являются об- ластями развития пластических деформаций. Особое внимание в работе обращено напряженному состоянию противофильтраци- онного элемента, где на напорной грани вследствие дефицита статических сжимающих напряжений при землетрясении развивается область разуплотнения, ведущая к трещинообразованию. Предложены способы защиты противофильтрационного элемента плоти- ны от опасности гидравлического разрыва.
Capital Structure and Macroeconomic Determinants in Emerging Country: A Panel Quantile Regression Approach
Authors: Missaoui Ibtissem , Alduraywish Yaqoub
Published: November 2023

Financing decisions of firms have been a topic interest for financial economists for a long time. In this study, we aim to contribute to this area by examining the impact of macroeconomic determinants on capital structure in emerging markets. Utilizing the panel quantile regression method (QREG) and analyzing data from listed Tunisian firms between 2011 and 2021, this paper investigates the relationship between macroeconomic determinants and capital structure across different quantiles. The research findings suggest that both firm size and growth options are positively correlated with leverage. Additionally, this paper finds that return on assets has a negative and significant effect at 1% in the first to third quantiles on leverage. The results of this paper have important implications since they can interest firm executives, policymakers, and investors operating in emerging markets.
Local distance antimagic chromatic number for the union of complete bipartite graphs
Authors: M Nalliah
Published: November 2023

Let G be a graph on p vertices and q edges with no isolated vertices. A bijection f : V → {1, 2, 3, ..., p} is called local distance antimagic labeling, if for any two adjacent vertices u and v, we have w(u) is not equal to w(v), where w(u) is the sum of all neighbour labels of u.  The local distance antimagic chromatic number χlda(G) is defined to be the minimum number of colors taken overall colorings of G induced by local distance antimagic labelings of G. In this paper, we determine the graph G for the local distance antimagic chromatic number is 2.
THREE MORAL CHALLENGES OF SURVEILLANCE CAPITALISM IN THE METAVERSE
Authors:   School of Law, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Zhang You
Published: November 2023

2021 has been called the first year of the metaverse, which is an independent virtual digital world that is both imitative and transcendent to the real physical world. Many tech giants claim that this technological innovation will bring huge opportunities and dividends to society, but some critics believe that it will also pose challenges to the current social ethics. The important moral challenges may stem from the data issue posed by the metaverse, which is believed to build an unequal relationship between users and service providers due to data-intensive technologies such as VR. This paper argues that the unequal relationships in data have caused the typical consequences of what Zuboff calls surveillance capitalism and posed three major moral challenges to our society, including alienation, exploitation, and domination. According to the Marxist account, alienation and exploitation arise from the existence of digital labor and the monopoly of means of production in the metaverse, while by referring to the Republican account of liberty, the emergence of domination can be attributed to the inequality of data possession.
CROSSING BOUNDARIES: AUTONOMOUS WEAPON SYSTEMS AND THE CHALLENGE OF IHL COMPLIANCE
Authors:   Lawyer at the Center for Truth and Justice, LLB in Jurisprudence with honors from the Department of International and European Law, RAU., Gevorgyan Maria
Published: November 2023

The introduction of autonomous weapon systems (AWS) marks a transformative juncture in the modern landscape of warfare. Promising operational efficiency, enhanced soldier safety, cost reduction, and workforce minimization, these systems have ignited a global discourse concerning their compliance with international law and the necessity of comprehensive regulation. This study delves into the multifaceted challenges associated with the deployment of AWS within the context of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) while evaluating their alignment with the principles of IHL, especially in terms of direct participation in hostilities (DPH). The research begins by establishing a fundamental understanding of autonomy, delineating the criteria that define AWS, and addressing their legal categorization—whether they constitute a method of warfare or serve as a replacement for combatants. By employing a diverse range of research methodologies encompassing system analysis, comparative legal analysis, synthesis, comparison, analogy, deduction, classification, interviews, and case studies, this study provides a comprehensive examination of the intricate AWS-IHL relationship. Further depth is added to the theoretical analysis through real-world case studies, including the STM Kargu-2 and the United Nations (UN) expert group's involvement in Libya, offering practical insights into the challenges posed by AWS in armed conflicts. Additionally, consideration is given to the SGR-A1, an autonomous system employed for border safeguarding, further illuminating the complexities of AWS in practice. This research aims to provide a nuanced and insightful understanding of the pressing regulatory and challenges arising from the utilization of AWS within the contemporary framework of IHL.

Authors: Santos Eliomar Luz , Nery Maria Salete de Souza
Published: November 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar as mudanças de gestão ambiental na produção de cachaça artesanal da microrregião de Abaíra a partir do registro das Indicações Geográficas. O prestígio da “Cachaça Abaíra” é resultante do saber-fazer tradicional e das condições edafoclimáticas da região, fatores estes que contribuíram para que essa região recebesse o título de Indicação Geográfica, um selo concedido aos produtos cujas qualidades e atributos se reportam à sua origem de extração ou produção. Para o propósito deste artigo, foi realizado tanto um levantamento bibliográfico através de consultas em livros, artigos e plataformas digitais, quanto um estudo documental ensejado pela apreciação do Regulamento do Uso (RU), documento exigido para o registro de Indicações Geográficas, elaborado pelos produtores, visando uma padronização do processo produtivo e o cumprimento das legislações sanitárias, ambiental e trabalhista. Diante disso, observou-se que houve uma melhoria na gestão dos recursos naturais, em todas as etapas da produção, desde a colheita da cana-de-açúcar, transporte, moagem, fermentação e destilação da cachaça. Por fim, conclui-se que a implementação das Indicações Geográficas mobilizou os atores envolvidos na produção e toda a comunidade, conscientizando-os da importância de produzir, preservando o meio ambiente com foco na sustentabilidade dos recursos naturais para as gerações futuras.
Violência e futebol a partir da teoria estabelecidos-outsiders: o racismo em análise
Authors: Vieira Ana Flávia Braun , Habinoski Guilherme , De Freitas Junior Miguel Archanjo
Published: November 2023

Este trabalho discutiu as práticas de racismo no futebol profissional masculino e as relações de poder que as configuram. Para tanto, visando trazer elementos empíricos para fomentar a problematização, foi realizado o levantamento dos casos de racismo nas Copas Libertadores da América e Sul-Americana, realizadas entre 2014 e 2022. Com base no referencial de Norbert Elias, com destaque para a teoria estabelecidos-outsiders, um percurso metodológico composto por três momentos foi adotado para compreender esse fenômeno: 1) inicialmente, foi estudada a forma como ocorreu o contato entre os grupos; 2) depois, foi elucidada a natureza de sua interdependência; 3) por fim, foram esclarecidos os níveis de coesão interna e externa aos grupos.  Como esses elementos ocorrem em contextos determinados, foi realizada sua historicização. Assim, a relação entre violência, esporte e a questão racial foi abordada, bem como a estratégia de desumanização do outro como recurso de poder e o papel dos órgãos centrais na erradicação/perpetuação desses atos criminosos – dentro e fora do campo de futebol. Sendo os processos de pacificação fomentados pela aprendizagem de comportamentos, sobretudo por meio da coerção externa (transformada em auto coerção), é fundamental a ampliação da supervisão mútua para combater atos racistas. A coibição de tais práticas perpassa ações educativas e punitivas dos órgãos centrais da sociedade – incluindo as instituições nacionais e internacionais que regulamentam os campeonatos e jogos.
