Efficacy of Covid-19 Vaccines in Ethnically Diverse Population (BAME): A Systematic Review
Authors: Thompson Paul Wesley
Published: October 2022

Background: The Black, Asian, and minority ethnic (BAME) groups are more prone to covid-19 disease severity and its associated mortality. The research has reported that the response of vaccines against different viral infections has varied among different groups of populations such as age, gender, race, and comorbidities. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of covid-19 vaccines of Emergency Use License (EUL) in BAME ethnicities. Method: We conducted a systematic review by using different names of EUL vaccines in Cochrane Covid-19 Study Register (CCSR) and WHO Covid‐19 global literature and exported the retrieved results to EndNote X8 to eliminate the duplicate records. The study followed PRISMA (Preferred Items for Reporting Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis) guidelines for reporting systematic reviews. We descriptively reviewed the included studies and performed data synthesis for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Results: A total of 4799 retrieved records were filtered down to 13 studies for inclusion which comprised nine RCTs, three case-control studies, and one retrospective cohort. The RCTs included in the data synthesis covered mRNA-1273, BNT162b2, NVX-CoV2373, AZD1222, and Ad26.COV2.S vaccines and reported 603 total events out of 125,874 participants in the interventional group and 3115 total events out of 109,093 participants in placebo groups. Compared to White participants, one RCT showed higher efficacy of mRNA-1237 in communities of color, whereas another RCT showed higher efficacy in Asians. Two RCTs showed that BNT162b2 had the highest efficacy (100%) in Black ethnicity. Similarly, one RCT of each NVX-CoV2373 and AZD1222 reported the highest efficacies of the respective vaccine in Black individuals. Among different vaccines, the Asian obtained the highest efficacy with mRNA-1273 but the lowest with BNT162b2. However, the data synthesis revealed a statistically significant favor for the efficacy of all vaccines over placebo across all subgroups of ethnicities. Conclusion: The covid-19 vaccines have non-inferior efficacy in different ethnicities. Nonetheless, the mRNA vaccines might be comparatively suitable for Black and Asian individuals in terms of efficacy than other vaccines. However, more studies with substantial representation of the BAME population are warranted to increase the magnitude of evidence in this regard. Keywords: Covid-19, vaccines, efficacy, BAME

Published: October 2022

In infants and children, the fingertip injuries occur frequently by accident which result causing infliction which ranges from a little cut to a fracture and also the finger amputation thus requires an immediate treatment intervention to avoid deformities. Different therapeutic approaches have been used involving surgical or conservative treatment. The conservative treatment is considered to be superior choice for management of these injuries so this research was designed to evaluate the functional and aesthetic outcomes of conservative approaches for treating fingertip injuries. Methods: This research consists of 30 children admitted to Ziaudin Hospital, Karachi with Allen's type II and III of fingertip injuries divided into three groups based on the treatment approach including Platelet Gel treatment group (group I), Fucidic acid treatment group (group II), Hyaluronic acid treatment group (group III). Results: All the conservative treatment approaches showed promising improvement regarding the range of motion, healing time, aesthetic and sensory outcome, complications, and subjective satisfaction. However, the platelet gel group exhibits significantly short healing time (p=0.003) in comparison to Fucidic acid and Hyaluronic acid treatment group Conclusion: It was concluded that conservative treatment is one of the effective approach in management of fingertip injuries in paediatric population providing better functional, sensory and aesthetic outcomes. Keywords: Fingertip injuries, Conservative treatment, Outcomes

CPEC: Prospects of OBOR and South-South Cooperation
Authors: Ume Farwa and Arhama Siddiqa
Published: October 2022

South-South Cooperation (SSC) has been a recurring theme in the global discourse but it neither resulted in self-reliance of the South nor it could yield in the political and economic liberation of the South. The major obstacles in its ways have been the North’s overarching control over the international system and the South’s incapacities to address its own shortcomings. The renewed economic cooperation among developing countries seems to be undoing the strictures imposed on them before, be it by default or by design. In this milieu, China’s ascendency to the global economy and its massive investment in Asia and Africa has set the stage to analyse Beijing’s policies and projects of SSC promotion. President Xi Jinping’s One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative is a huge opportunity for the South to reinvigorate their socio-political and economic ties. While implementing OBOR’s flagship project, China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), Beijing adhered to the five principles of peace and shunned the traditional intrusiveness of the North. It generated hope and avenues for altering the economic landscape in Pakistan, which illuminated the path of cooperation among developing countries and brightened the prospects of OBOR even more.
Emerging Paradigm of the Indian Ocean: Arihant’s Prowl and its Regional Implications
Authors: M Ihsan Qadir and  Saif ur Rehman
Published: October 2022

The Indian Ocean has traditionally been less contentious with respect to nuclear issues but recent fielding of the nuclear submarine by India has introduced a new dimension in the strategic stability of the region. Though the development of nuclear submarine is China-centric, yet, the littoral states of the Indian Ocean have started feeling perturbed. The Indian ambitious naval expansion plan, aligned with its evolving maritime strategy, has adversely affected the security dynamics of the Indian Ocean. Thus, the Indian Ocean has become an avenue of the intersecting interests of many regional (China and India) and extra-regional states. The predominant interest of extra-regional powers has been economic, embedded in the security concerns. In response to the Indian nuclear explosions in 1998, Pakistan compelled to became an overt nuclear state, yet, had no inclinations for taking nuclearisation to sea. However, the extraordinary development of induction of nuclear submarine in the Indian naval inventory has forced many regional states to premeditate their options in line with their security calculus and compulsions, which has resulted in the emergence of a new paradigm of strategic competition between India and China in the Indian Ocean.
Growing India-US Strategic Cooperation: An Analysis
Authors: Mahrukh Khan
Published: October 2022

India and the US have seen a growth in convergence of their interest in the last one and a half decade. However, a new shift in the relations took place soon after Narendra Modi took oath as Prime Minster of India in 2016. The US-India bilateral relationship, over the past decade, has not only strengthened in the fields of defence, and counter-terrorism cooperation, but India became a prominent partner of the US in the fields of cyber and homeland security. The current paper discusses the emergence of the US strategic partnership with India, which has proved to be a bipartisan success. The paper, primarily, focuses on the growing common strategic convergence between the US and India. Furthermore, the paper also presents a brief analysis of the potential growth of the US-Indian strategic partnership under the Trump administration and explores its potentials as a strategic liability or a partnership for India. In addition, it explores the growing US reliance on India in the wake of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC); and for India to act as a global partner and an ally at different strategic levels.
21st Century and Pakistan’s New Narrative for National Stability
Authors: Qamar Abbas Cheema and Taimur Shamil
Published: October 2022

Throughout the course of history, states and non-state actors have developed themes, values and ideas to promote their visions. Such deliberate and well-constructed ideologies are termed as narratives either to face the challenges or to run a rules-based national and international system while looking their goals and power apparatus. A national narrative is constructed in a way that identity, history, ideology, geography, culture, foreign policy and other national discourses become components of it. Pakistan, since its independence in 1947, has been in search of a comprehensive narrative that should suit the fabric of the state. The existing narrative has been unresponsive to the needs of people and becomes outdated for several reasons. A new narrative for identity construction, political maturity, educational growth, strong security, economic prosperity, good governance, religious reorientation, innovative skills, media maturity and ethnic unity is required which can establish a new societal architecture for a strong and resilient state and society. Building of such a new narrative is a strategic imperative which could bring national stability in Pakistan in the 21st century.

Authors:   MBAL „St. Panteleimon“, Peneva Ivelina
Published: October 2022

The article summarized the results of the research activity of Andrey Rossokhin, which is devoted to studying the dynamics of reflection in the altered states of consciousness in the course of psychoanalytic process. These states of consciousness are characterized by transformation of the semantic space of the subject and changing forms of categorization with a transition from socially normed to new ways of rationalizing internal experience and experiences take place. By theoretical and empirical analyses, A. Rossokhin concluded that through means of the internal dialogue during the altered states of consciousness, it carries out an active reflexive rethinking activity both previously non-reflective mental content and the very strategies of reflection with the internal dialogue. This leads to qualitative alteration in value-meaning formations, activates, and brings about the personality integration into a new, more complete state.

Published: October 2022

As doenças cardiovasculares são uma das classes de doenças que afetam o coração ou os vasos sanguíneos, sendo a principal causa de morte em todo mundo. Apesar dos avanços da terapêutica clínica e das intervenções cutâneas, a cirurgia cardíaca ainda é a melhor opção, visto que, há a possibilidade de abordagem de todas as artérias coronárias comprometidas e apresentam um custo-efetividade favorável. Em contra-partida, no pós-operatório podem aparecer complicações nos sistemas cardiovascular, pulmonar, renal, neurológico, gastrointestinal e musculoesquelético. A fisioterapia tem sido considerada um componente fundamental na reabilitação destes pacientes no período hospitalar, intervindo tanto na prevenção quanto na terapêutica com o intuito de melhorar o condicionamento musculoesquelético e respiratório, oferecendo maior independência física e segurança para alta hospitalar e posterior recuperação das atividades de vida diária, contribuído dessa forma para um melhor prognóstico de vida desses pacientes.

Authors: Eris Huseyin
Published: October 2022

It is possible for patients to prefer the same hospital or to recommend it to others, which are indicators for their loyalty to hospitals, where they receive health care service, only if they are satisfied with the service they have received. When considering today's intense competition conditions in the health sector, it is more important to examine issues that will provide competitive advantage, such as perceived value, by affecting patient satisfaction and patient loyalty. There is a limited number of studies in the literature that examine the perceived value with a multidimensional scale or investigate the relationship between perceived value and patient loyalty. As well as the lack of a sufficient number of studies for consumers in Turkey, there is a limited number of studies for consumers of healthcare sector, which is an important branch of the service sector. The purpose of this study is to relationship. The study was conducted by using the survey method on 783 patients who received outpatient clinic services from the Harran University Research and Application Hospital in Şanlıurfa between 1 and 30 June 2021.

Heterocyclic compounds are of very much concern in our daily life. These  compounds constitute the largest and most varied family of organic compounds. Heterocyclic compounds have one or more hetero atoms in their structure., Day by day the number is increasing rapidly due to the enormous synthetic research and also their synthetic utility.  They may be cyclic or non-cyclic in nature. They are predominantly used as pharmaceuticals, as agrochemicals and as veterinary products. They also find applications as sanitizers, developers, antioxidants, as corrosion inhibitors, as copolymers, dye stuff and anticancer drugs. They are used as vehicles in the synthesis of other organic compounds. In this review, we cover most biological active heterocyclic compounds that it’s recently synthesized or extracted from the plants e.g. antibiotics such as penicillin’s, cephalosporin; alkaloids such as vinblastine, morphine, reserpine etc. have heterocyclic moiety.

Authors: Phadtare Dipti G. , Kawale L. A.
Published: October 2022

A new series of Quinazoline-oxadiazole analogues was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for anticonvulsant action against chemically induced seizures and compared with the reference drugs valproate., compounds Q4, Q8, Q10, and Q11 provided 70-100% protection against PTZ-induced seizure. FTIR, 1H- nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectrometry (MS) spectra analyses were used to determine the structure of the produced molecules. For all newly synthesised drugs, molecular docking was used to test their binding affinities towards the GABA-A receptor in effort to qualitatively justify their anticonvulsant actions. The results of molecular modelling were correlated with the results of biological screening. As GABAA receptor agonists,Compounds Q4, Q8, Q10, and Q11 have the highest binding affinities to the GABA-A receptor as well as the strongest anticonvulsant activity in mice. The results demonstrated that the majority of active compounds might be used as a template for future creation, adaption, and exploration to create more active analogues
Do Species Want to Evolve?
Authors: Turner J. Scott
Published: October 2022

Darwinism, in all its various forms, seeks to explain evolution without the intervention of intelligence, purposefulness or intentionality: in short, via the abolition of purpose. Yet life is arguably a profoundly purposeful phenomenon, most evident in the phenomenon of adaptation. Modern Darwinism fails because it has no coherent theory of adaptation, and hence no coherent theory of life. Without this, it cannot claim to be a coherent theory of evolution. Here, I argue that a coherent theory of evolution will arrive when the inherent purposefulness of life can be reincorporated into our evolutionary thinking. Life’s fundamental property of homeo-stasis, coupled with the expanding conception of hereditary memo-ry emerging from epigenetics and niche construction theory, can credibly restore purpose to our thinking about evolution. The evolution of lineages will no longer then be under the control of natural selection, but rather imbued with striving and intentionality: with “wanting” to evolve.
Static Analysis and Machine Learning-based Malware Detection System using PE Header Feature Values
Authors: Yuk Chang Keun , Seo Chang Jin
Published: October 2022

Advances in information and communications technology (ICT) are improving daily convenience and productivity, but new malware threats continue to surge. This paper proposes a malware detection system using various machine learning algorithms and portable executable (PE) Header file static analysis method for malware code, which has recently changed in various forms. Methods/Statistical analysis: This paper proposes a malware detection method that quickly and accurately detects new malware using static file analysis and stacking methods. Furthermore, using information from PE headers extracted through static analysis can detect malware without executing real malware. The features of the pe_packer used in the proposed research method were most efficient in experiments because the extracted data were processed in various ways and applied to machine learning models. So, we chose pe_packer information as the shape data to be used for the stacking model. Detection models are implemented based on additive techniques rather than single models to detect with high accuracy. Findings: The proposed detection system can quickly and accurately classify malware or ordinary files. Moreover, experiments showed that the proposed method has a 95.2% malware detection rate and outperforms existing single model-based detection systems. Improvements/Applications: The proposed research method applies to detecting large new strains of malware.

Authors: Oredein Afolakemi O , Obadimeji Chinenye C
Published: October 2022

It is impossible to emphasize how crucial teachers' job performance is because it depends on several variables. However, little is known about digital leadership, communication, and decision-making styles. Some variables have been explored by scholars. This study was inspired by the need to investigate the job performance of public primary school teachers in Oyo State. Among other things, Vroom's Expectancy Theory was used in this study. The respondents were chosen using a multi-stage sample procedure with a basic random sampling technique. The survey drew a total of 643 participants from the three senatorial districts. The structured Teachers' Questionnaire (TQ) was validated, and the reliability of the tool was assessed using Cronbach's Alpha. Frequency counts, percentages, bar graphs, standardised coefficients and linear multiple regression (ANOVA, also known as analysis of variance), were used to analyze the data. It is used to calculate the difference between the means of three or more independent variables on a dependent variable. The findings of the test of hypotheses show that public primary school teachers' job performance in Oyo State is influenced by a combination of digital leadership, communication, and decision-making styles (F (3,640) = 3156.318; P 0.05). This study also discovered that the state's public primary school teachers' job performance is positively influenced by digital leadership, communication, and decision-making styles. It is advised that the government review the laws, policies, and rules that control the teaching profession and enhance educational technology, especially in public primary schools.

‘Wij zijn geen folklore, wij zijn een religie!’
Authors: Van de Port Mattijs
Published: October 2022

‘An increasing number of priests from candomblé – an Afro-Brazilian spirit possession cult – publicly demand that their creed is recognized as a full-fledged ‘religion’. In this article I discuss how this demand is part of a larger political project whereby candomblé priests seek to assert their voice in the public sphere of Salvador, Bahia, thus to counter the all out appropriation of candomblé myths, symbols and aesthetics by cultural entrepreneurs, tourist organizations and other outsiders. While candomblé has proven quite successful in these attempts, I show that the demand to be recognized as a ‘religion’ comes at a price: far from being a neutral term, ‘religion’ is a thoroughly Christian format. All creeds that make a public claim to be a ‘religion’ thus require to refashion themselves along this Christian model.
Belonging without believing
Authors: Dekker Gerard
Published: October 2022

Especially during the middle of the twentieth century church membership and religiosity did no longer coincide in the Netherlands. Forms of non-church religiosity did appear: ‘church outside the church’ and alternative religiosity. Much attention has been given to this ‘believing without belonging’. But there seems to be also a group of people who are not religious, but nevertheless church member. This is especially the case within the big churches in the Netherlands. That group proves to be bigger than the group of believers outside the church. This article asks attention for the phenomenon of ‘belonging without believing’. Especially for sociologists this phenomenon is important: the church is the most important religious institution and it is not impossible that the character of this institute as well as its place within society will change as a result of the presence of many non-believers in it.

We planned to evaluate anesthesia management and postoperative patient outcomes in RALRP. Patients planned for RALRP between January 2017 and June 2021 were included. Demographic data, additional diseases and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) of the patients were recorded. The methods used in anesthesia maintenance, muscle relaxant and sugammadex dose, postoperative pain treatment protocol, duration of anesthesia and surgery, length of stay (LOS) in ICU or hospital, early postoperative complications and Clavien Dindo Classification (CDC) were evaluated by examining the follow-up forms in the intraoperative and postoperative period. Two hundred and sixteen patients underwent robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery between January 2017 and June 2021 and, 141 of them (65.3%) had RALRP. The mean age of the patients was 62.38±6.94, the body mass index was 27.60±3.94, and the mean CCI was 4.08±0.93. Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) (n=108, 76.6%) was mostly used for anesthesia maintenance. The median time spent during anesthesia was 278.5±63.6 minutes. The median time for surgery was 239.5±65.9 minutes. According to the CDC, grade-I was 5.7%, grade-II was 2.1%, grade-IVa 7.8%. The most common complication was acute kidney injury (11, 7.8%), followed by atelectasis (4, 2.8%). 98.6% of all patients were sent to the ward from PACU, except two. The mean LOS in hospital was 4.57±2.34 days. Robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is most performed surgery among all robotic surgeries. We think that, patient optimization and communication between surgeon and anesthesiologist is crucial to avoid the negative effects of steep Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum in terms of improving outcome.

Authors: Nguyen Duc , Nguyen Thu , Nguyen Huu
Published: October 2022

Background: One of the most common diseases in free-range ducks in the Mekong Delta is “botulism”. Botulism is a poultry disease caused by botulinum exotoxin of Clostridium botulinum.
Aim: The purpose of the investigation was to evaluate the prevalence of botulism in free-range ducks in the Mekong Delta and the risk of infection by determining the presence of Clostridium botulinum in the farming environment.
Methods: Research on 200 duck flocks with 187050 individuals raised freely in the fields in the provinces of the Mekong Delta including An Giang, Can Tho, Hau Giang, and Kien Giang. The ducks were diagnosed with botulism based on clinical symptoms. To demonstrate the presence of botulinum neurotoxins and identify serotype, samples of serum and/or gut were analyzed by mouse bioassay. Samples of soil (n=600), water (n=600), crabs (n=216), and snails (n=400) were taken from the grazing regions for Clostridium botulinum analysis by PCR assay.
Results: There were 1.19% (2235/187050) free-range ducks in the Mekong Delta positive for botulism. Clinical symptoms of botulism including limberneck, drooping eyelids - enlarged pupils, and leg paralysis were prevalent across free-range ducks, with the frequency of 87.92% (1965/2235), 90.07% (2013/2235), and 79.78% (1783/2235), respectively. The lesions of pulmonary edema – hemorrhage, hemorrhagic liver, and gas-producing intestines were common, accounting for 86.19% (362/420), 95.48% (401/420), and 92.14% (387/420), respectively. Botulin toxin type C was found in a considerable number of serum samples, accounting for 40.48% (51/126). Meanwhile, the percentage of serum samples containing botulin toxin types E and D was 28.57% (36/126) and 25.40% (32/126), respectively. Clostridium botulinum was detected in the farming environment specifically 17.5% (105/600) in soil, 19.67% (118/600) in water, 8.33% (18/216) in crabs, and 3.00% (12/400) in snails.
Conclusion: The free-range ducks in the Mekong Delta were at high risk of botulism because of the latent presence of Clostridium botulinum in the farming environment.
Role of Vietnam in Europe’s Indo-Pacific stragedy: present and perspective
Authors: Nguyen Thi Hanh , Vo Hoang Linh
Published: October 2022

The Indo-Pacific has partially replaced the term Asia Pacific and emerged as a geo-economic and geostrategic concept over the last decade, with Japan, Australia, the United States and India each launching their own respective plan. As a long-time investor and development donor, the EU did grab the chance. The European Council reached agreement on an EU Strategy for Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific in April 2021, and in September, it presented a Joint Communication providing further rationale for its strategy. This paves the way for the EU to join the other long-standing advocates of the Indo-Pacific strategy. As a member of ASEAN and an important geo-strategic and geo-economic position, Vietnam is considered a like-minded partner with the EU and expected to promote EUs stance in the region. The study will therefore clarify the role of Vietnam in EU and its members strategies and how Hanoi views their engagement.

Champa cultural imprints in northern Vietnam through historical and archaeological resources
Authors: Dinh Duc Tien
Published: October 2022

Champa is remembered today through a system of temple architecture and sculpture art as a brilliant civilization that once existed in Central Vietnam. Champa had always maintained political and economic ties with the Đại Việt dynasties throughout its history. The article focuses on Champa cultural imprints found in northern Vietnam, specifically sculptures from the L and Trần dynasties (1009-1400). The newly discovered artifacts in Northern Vietnam were compared to Champa sculptures of the same period (11th-14th centuries), demonstrating strong Champa cultural influences in North Vietnam. The article also uses written sources and records on the migration and settlement of the Champa people in North Vietnam to demonstrate the cultural imprints that have remained to this day.
Dark Energy: Working at the Perimeter of Materiality
Authors: Cornell Deborah
Published: October 2022

Dark energy is a theoretical repulsive force that counteracts gravity, possibly accelerating the expansion rate of the cosmos. Physicists propose that dark energy may be a fundamental unseen force in the universe.

Like dark energy, contemporary art forms, especially in print, are expanding, fuelled by the internal energy in artists’ practices that is generated by current technologies, and the refiguring of perceptual possibilities. Like the opposing gravitational field created by dark energy, the outline of contemporary creative practice is dissolving. New ideas include a multi- level understanding of space and matter, working with time-based forms, interdependence, and an increasing distrust of absolutes.

Print originated as a socially kinetic development of ideas using transfers among materials and concepts. It continues to transform with new, porous forms, including the vaporization of material into digital form. This paper considers related concepts in works of four artists: Ingrid Ledent, Oscar Munoz, Robert Smithson, and myself.

Günümüzde tüketicinin değişen davranışları, istekleri, çevreye karşı artan hassasiyetleri işletme ve markaları bu değişimlere ayak uydurmaya ve faaliyetlerini sürdürülebilir bir pazarlama anlayışı ile gerçekleştirmeye zorlamaktadır. İşletmelerin yürüttükleri faaliyetlerde ekonomik, sosyal ve çevresel faktörleri göz ardı etmeden tüketicinin ihtiyaç ve isteklerini karşılaması beklenmektedir. Ancak, işletmelerin sektörleri ve ürünlerinin özellikleri açısından sürdürülebilir pazarlama faaliyetlerinde hangi faktör ve kriterleri önceledikleri farklılaşmaktadır. Bu bağlamda yapılan araştırmanın amacı, süt ürünleri üreten bir firmanın sürdürülebilir pazarlama kapsamında ekonomik, sosyal ve çevresel boyutların hangisine ne derecede önem verdiklerinin belirlenmesidir. Araştırmada çok kriterli karar verme tekniklerinden (ÇKKV) faydalanılarak firma açısından önceliklendirilen kriterler ve önem dereceleri belirlenmiştir. Araştırmayla ilgili firmanın ekonomik faktörlere yönelik önem düzeyinin, sosyal ve çevresel faktörlere göre daha yüksek olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Firmanın sürdürülebilir pazarlama anlayışını bütüncül açıdan ele almadığı, çevresel faktörler için henüz örgüt kültürü ve yapılanmalarının olmadığı, buna yönelik devlet destek ve teşvikleriyle birlikte ancak bu sürece dahil olabileceklerini belirlenmiştir.

Sustainable logistics can be defined as all logistics activities carried out by preserving and maintaining the present and the future for generations in environmental, economic, and social dimensions. In the study, the impact levels and sub-components of the main components in environmental, economic, and social dimensions, which are important for sustainable logistics, are examined. When the environmental dimension is examined, it is seen that its sub-components are use of resource (energy, water, material, etc.), water/soil pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, noise pollution, and waste management. When the sub-components of the economic dimension are examined, it includes the components of product and service quality, cost minimization, recycling, market share/growth, and goods transport intensity. When the sub-components of the social dimension are examined, it is seen that the components of occupational health and safety, education and training, working conditions, and public health are covered. The impact levels of the main components of sustainable logistics are evaluated with the DEMATEL method, which is one of the MCDM methods. According to the DEMATEL method, while economic and environmental dimensions are in the affecting group, social dimension is in the affected group.
