Diabetes mellitus affects about 3 million Poles, which is almost 8% of the population. It belongs to the national health priorities defined in the regulation of the Minister of Health. If poorly controlled, it leads to the development of many serious complications, both acute and chronic. It excludes people who are often of productive age from an effective, satisfactory life, and therefore causes an increase in public costs due to health and social insurance, and a decrease in state budget revenues from production and consumption. Measures taken in the areas of: population prevention addressed to the entire population, with particular emphasis on vulnerable groups, early diagnosis of diabetes and its effective treatment, and support for patients preventing disability and exclusion, should help reduce these costs.

Authors: Manilyn S. Panibon
Published: August 2023

The twenty-first century has brought about new innovations and challenges in the field of education. The major goal of this study is to investigate the experiences, problems, coping techniques, and insights of Pantukan South District public-school educational leaders leading in the twenty-first century. It employs the qualitative phenomenological research method and relies on in-depth interviews to collect data. Six educational leaders from Pantukan South District were chosen as research participants using a purposive sample technique. This study indicated that educational administrators confront numerous obstacles in dealing with their staff, fiscal matters, stakeholders, and learners. They were shown, however, developing coping mechanisms to alleviate their predicament. This study also emphasized the hard effort and strong commitment of public-school educational leaders to their jobs. As a result, it was found that, despite all of the obstacles that educational leaders in the twenty-first century face, they can always find ways to cope and adapt. As a recommendation, educational leaders should continue to improve themselves, both personally and professionally, by attending trainings and seminars with the assistance of the department of education. The findings of this study would serve as a springboard for future research into the experiences of other school administrators, instructors, and students who had also witnessed changes in 21st-century education.

Plant diversification can increase organism abundance while reducing phytophagous insect activity in agricultural crops. We assessed arthropod diversity in fava beans (Vicia faba), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), and marigolds (Tagetes patula) along the periphery of a kale plantation and examined the influence of their proximity to the kale cultivation. The study took place at the Centro Estadual de Diagnóstico e Pesquisa Florestal, Santa Maria, RS, Brazil. We collected plant samples from the periphery and cultivated kale plants at three distances from the edge: within two meters, 10 to 12 meters, and 20 to 22 meters. We recorded the number and biomass of marketable leaves from three harvests. A total of 618 arthropods were collected from plants along the periphery: Insecta (589), Arachnida (20), and Entognatha (9). Hemiptera was the most prevalent order (49.84%). Kale plants near the periphery experienced less predation from leaf beetles. Plants along the periphery hosted important predator groups as well as phytophages that can serve as alternative prey. Diversifying the periphery with fennel, fava bean, and marigolds shows promise as a strategy to enhance the arthropod community in kale cultivation, thereby acting as a conservative biological control.

THE APPLICATION OF HOUSE'S (2015) TRANSLATION QUALITY ASSESSMENT MODEL TO ARABIC-ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Authors: Al-Aizari Ali Ali Ahmed
Published: August 2023

Literary translation has gained momentum among scholars and researchers due to the peculiar and ambiguous nature of the literary genre(s). The salient discourse features of these genres do pose serious challenges for translators in their attempting to access the source text and to creatively transfer intentions embedded in the source text to target readerships. The selected work is written by the Sudanese novelist El Tayeb Salih, and translated into English by the Canadian-born British translator, Denys Johnson-Davies. This paper focuses on the relationship between the source text(ST)and the target text(TT) in order to identify mismatches, classify them into overt and covert errors and categorize the related overt errors into seven categories, namely not translated, slight change of meaning, significant change of meaning, distortion of meaning, breach of the target language system, creative translation and cultural filtering. The paper, to some extent, found out that the translator has translated the paper under investigation faithfully, however, a number of mismatches were found and accounted for. And since the translation is intended for a non-Arabic speaker, the translation of specific cultural terms and references should consider the limited cultural background of the target text reader (TT-R) which the translator neglected in some parts of his translation. The analysis can state that the translator is not tied to the culture, community and language of the ST; rather he gave preference more to get comparability of the TT. It was also observed that House's model of Translation Quality Assessment (TQA) is applicable and useful in the field of translation of literary works, for both the translator and the student of translation studies.

There is ample evidence suggesting the presence of various multisystemic comorbidities in patients with schizophrenia. However, data on dermatological comorbidities in these patients are scarce. The present study aimed to analyze the profile of cutaneous conditions in patients with schizophrenia and contribute to the existing evidence in this area. A total of 102 consecutive adult patients with schizophrenia, who were attending the follow-up service at the outpatient clinic of the Department of Psychiatry in a tertiary hospital in North India, were evaluated by a dermatologist for the presence of any skin disorder. Dermatological findings were noted in 70% of patients and 38% had multiple skin conditions. Infections were the most prevalent diagnosis, with fungal infections being commonly observed. Other common dermatoses included nevi, age-related cutaneous changes, dyschromia, and drug-induced acne. The present study concluded that there is a high prevalence of dermatological diseases in patients with schizophrenia. Caregivers and psychiatrists managing these patients should familiarize themselves with these conditions, and dermatology consultation should be sought for prompt diagnosis and management.

A revista Biodiversidade Brasileira surge como uma resposta brilhante a uma necessidade do processo de organização interna do Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade. Uma resposta, porém, que não se limita à demanda original e expande a sua aplicação para um universo de possibilidades que potencializam os resultados institucionais. A revista veio como um mecanismo inteligente de validação de informações no âmbito processo de avaliação do estado de conservação das espécies da fauna brasileira, missão atribuída ao Instituto Chico Mendes pelo Ministério do Meio Ambiente para tornar-se um processo contínuo e amplo o suficiente para abranger o maior número possível das espécies. A idéia da revista instantaneamente franqueou a possibilidade de tornar disponível, de forma rápida e transparente, os resultados científicos da avaliação, garantindo no bojo do próprio processo a autoria das informações cedidas ou produzidas pelos pesquisadores, que voluntariamente engajaram-se nesse esforço. Iniciativa que ainda não encontra similar no contexto mundial do processo de elaboração da lista vermelha das espécies ameaçadas. Mais importante até, a revista representa uma ampliação natural do Livro Vermelho da Fauna Brasileira Ameaçada de Extinção, pois apresentará um retrato do estado da conservação da fauna brasileira conforme os resultados do processo de avaliação, espécie a espécie, independente de pertencer ou não a uma lista oficial de animais em risco de extinção, permitindo a todos conhecer e criticar as informações que levaram uma espécie a ser considerada ameaçada ou não. O valor dessa informação é inestimável para quem tenha interesse em aplicá-la: pesquisadores, estudantes, ambientalistas, autoridades públicas, sociedade civil, empreendedores. O número de lançamento é emblemático. Apresenta os resultados da avaliação do estado de conservação das tartarugas marinhas, espécies que se tornaram símbolo da conservação no Brasil. Nada mais apropriado do que inaugurar o que sem dúvida será um novo marco para a conservação no país, apresentando os resultados de um esforço que se tornou uma referência para toda uma geração de brasileiros quando se fala na conservação de espécies, e que em 2010 completou 30 anos de trabalho ininterrupto ao longo da costa brasileira. Biodiversidade Brasileira, porém, vai mais longe: abre a oportunidade para publicação de trabalhos que tratarão de temas complexos, instigantes, relacionados à conservação da biodiversidade, reunidos na forma de números temáticos, de modo a abrigar diversas perspectivas e constituir espaço para debate e construção do conhecimento. Mais ainda, abre a possibilidade do Instituto Chico Mendes fazer uso de uma engenharia eficaz para reunir, ordenar e transformar em produtos qualificados de informação, as diversas experiências em gestão ambiental geradas continuamente nos mais diversos cantos desse país, mas que, via de regra, não são transmitidas.

Gradual Route Modification in Mobile Wireless Multihop Network with Combination of Carrying and Forwarding
Authors: Kurabayashi Ryota , Higaki Hiroaki
Published: August 2023

In a wireless multihop network, data messages are transmitted along a wireless multihop transmission route composed of a sequence of intermediate wireless nodes forwarding the data messages. However, it is difficult to detect a wireless multihop transmission route from a source wireless node to a destination one if a wireless nodes are not evenly distributed and there are some areas in which wireless nodes are sparsely distributed. Some methods have been proposed to solve this problem by combination of forwarding data messages between neighbor intermediate wireless nodes as in a usual wireless multihop network and carrying data messages to pass through such areas. In the conventional methods with the combination of forwarding and carrying data messages, some dedicated intermediate mobile wireless nodes serve the role of carrying. Hence, such nodes are required to consume more battery power which results in lower connectivity of the network. In addition, transmissions of data messages might be suspended for waiting the carrying intermediate wireless nodes which results in longer end-to-end transmission delay. In order to solve the problems, this paper proposes a novel carrying and forwarding method which gradually modifies a wireless multihop transmission route to evenly share the required mobility overhead among all the intermediate mobile wireless nodes and to reduce end-to-end transmission delay of data messages by making the route shorter. The proposed method ensures that no successive intermediate wireless nodes pass each other without neighboring.

Published: August 2023

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) antagonists, the first biologics approved for treating patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are effective for the induction and maintenance of remission and significantly improving prognosis. However, up to one-third of treated patients show primary nonresponse (PNR) to anti-TNF-α therapies, and 23%-50% of IBD patients experience loss of response (LOR) to these biologics during subsequent treatment. There is still no recognized predictor for evaluating the efficacy of anti-TNF drugs. This review summarizes the existing predictors of PNR and LOR to anti-TNF in IBD patients. Most predictors remain controversial, and only previous surgical history, disease manifestations, drug concentrations, antidrug antibodies, serum albumin, some biologic markers, and some genetic markers may be potentially predictive. In addition, we also discuss the next steps of treatment for patients with PNR or LOR to TNF antagonists. Therapeutic drug monitoring plays an important role in treatment selection. Dose escalation, combination therapy, switching to a different anti-TNF drug, or switching to a biologic with a different mechanism of action can be selected based on the concentration of the drug and/or antidrug antibodies.

Athletes commonly become injured during competition, emphasizing the necessity for appropriate recovery. This research examines if standard sporting injury treatments and rehabilitation work in China. The issue Despite the high occurrence of sports injuries in China, rehabilitation therapy efficacy research is scarce. Interview-based research addresses such problems. This research examines how different therapy and rehabilitation programs help Chinese athletes recover from competition-related injuries. The researchers interviewed wounded athletes to acquire data. Structured interviews were conducted to collect qualitative data from participants regarding their rehabilitation therapies' efficacy, adherence, and results. The study revealed fresh information on the efficacy of evidence-based treatments and rehabilitation methods for Chinese sports injuries. The interviews revealed how different rehabilitation methods impacted on the athletes' recoveries and what variables influenced program adherence and positive results. Based on the findings, medical practitioners, sports trainers, and Chinese athletes should prioritize scientifically backed rehabilitation regimens. Using this data to create individualized rehabilitation programs for athletes with sports-related injuries may improve their chances of a complete and quick recovery. In conclusion, an interview-based study in China revealed the effectiveness of evidence-based sports injury treatment and rehabilitation. The study will help the Chinese sports community better rehabilitate and recover faster.
The Relationship between a Hotel's Safe Image and Tourists' Patronage Intention under the Threat of COVID-19
Authors: Chen Wen-Jung
Published: August 2023

Based on the principles of the social exchange theory and protection motivation theory, this study extended the investigation by Atadil & Lu (2021) and adopted the safe image scale they developed. Through the results of the questionnaire, this study examined how guests' perception of a hotel's star rating might affect its safe image and how a hotel's safe image and guests' perceived risk might affect their trust in the hotel and patronage intention. A total of 94 hotels have participated in the survey, and 949 valid questionnaires have been returned. Through factor analysis, correlation analysis, variance analysis, and structural equation modeling analysis, this study found significant differences in star rating perception of the four dimensions of the safe image, a significant moderation effect of perceived risk on the relationship between safe image and trust, and a relationship between safe image, trust, and patronage intention. The value of this study is that under the threat of COVID-19, it has built an influence model of guests' intention to patronize a hotel, thereby providing empirical contributions to the social exchange theory and protection motivation theory, as well as proposing practical suggestions on how hoteliers may improve customer trust.

As a direct response to the ever-increasing demand for environmentally friendly products, "green marketing" has emerged as one of the most effective business techniques of the present day. As a result, this study summarizes the previous research to better understand the connection between green marketing techniques, green perceived value, and green purchase intention, with faith in the environment serving as a moderating factor. Additionally, the purpose of this research is to offer a different point of view, which will set it apart from other studies that have been conducted on the topic of green products, green perceived value, and green marketing strategies that can improve green trust as well as green purchase intentions. In order to investigate the connection between the different factors, a conceptual framework has been established.
Blended Finance: A Tool for Inciting Commercial Financial Institutions to Provide Financing for Machinery Acquisition for SMEs in Cameroon

Published: August 2023

As is the case of most economies around the world, the relevance of SMEs to the well-being of the Cameroonian economy is quite significant as they contribute meaningfully to employment creation, GDP as well as poverty alleviation. However, this category of businesses in Cameroon tends to implement very low levels of automation due to the lack of financing for equipment /machinery acquisition. This inevitably leads to high production costs and the inability to scale up production as multiple tasks are carried out manually. Certain opportunities cannot even be exploited as SMEs tend to congregate in sectors that are labor-intensive while avoiding technology and machinery-intensive sectors. Despite this situation, the OECD developed the blended finance tool which involves the usage of non-business funds such as developmental/ philanthropic funds to mobilize and orientate private capital towards sectors that will otherwise be neglected. It was therefore the purpose of this study to investigate if this tool can have a statistically significant impact on the willingness of financial institutions to finance machinery/ equipment acquisition in SMEs in Cameroon. Data collected from 232 bank and microfinance employees across Cameroon using a pretested questionnaire was analyzed using the One-way ANOVA analysis in SPSS. The results revealed a statistically significant impact of blended finance on the willingness of financial institutions to finance machinery/equipment acquisition in SMEs in Cameroon. It is therefore recommended that the governments as well as NGOs interested in SMEs make use of this tool to incite financial institutions to provide financing for this category of businesses.

This research aims to test the role of Financial Technology (Fintech) in mediating the Islamic Financial Literacy (IFL) influence on Islamic financial inclusion (IFI) in Banda Aceh City, Indonesia. The research population was the people of Banda Aceh, which is 252,899 people. The sample amounted to 300 people, who were the number productive age population in the age range of 15-64 years in Banda Aceh City. Data were collected (primary data) taken by distributing questionnaires to all respondents and were tested using SEM-AMOS. The results reveal that IFL influences Fintech, IFL influences Islamic IFI, Fintech influences IFI, and IFL influences IFI through Fintech. The results also prove that Fintech in the research model functions as a partial mediation, which means that IFL can affect IFI directly or through Fintech mediators. The findings at the same time prove that the model of increasing IFI is a function of increasing IFL and increasing the use of Fintech.
