Authors: Panday Priyanka , Kaur Gagandeep
Published: November 2022

The industrial revolution and advancement in artificial intelligence in terms of Industry 4.0 has reduced the need for human intervention at the workplace. The results are very profitable for companies and industries in terms of product/service quality, delivery, and customer satisfaction. However, employees have suffered many side effects in both psychological and physical terms. In terms of career development, there is continuous pressure of updating themselves, increased internal competition, fear of job loss, and increased loneliness due to fewer but competitive people at the workplace. That is why murmur has started around Industry 5.0, where the focus is collaborative interaction between humans and machines/robots for sustainable development of industries. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of this phenomenon on talent management in this volatile environment. This study might help improve team member wellbeing and reduce the uncertainty in workforce participation and provide a more creative, innovative, and engaging mindset in Industry 5.0.

Authors: Kundu Arnab , Bej Tripti , Dey Kedar Nath
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study was to review the latest literature on self-concept and to explore its effect on teachers' perceived ease of information and communication technology (ICT) use. It reports descriptive survey results within the ex-post facto research design conducted among randomly selected 300 teachers of 50 Indian secondary schools. Regression was the main statistical measure used for assessing the percentage of the variance in the dependent variable that the independent variable explains. Findings revealed that teachers' ICT-related self-concept has been a significant predictor of their perceived ease of use (R=.88, R2=.77). For every one standard unit increase of self-concept, the perceived ease of use will be increased by .88 standard units. Based on these findings, the authors proposed a pertinent extension of the TAM3 viewing the complexities of today's e-adoption. The discourse ends with an anticipated counseling framework to fortify teachers' self-concept as an approach to boost their ICT use.

Authors: Tami Abdelaziz , Hacene Sofiane Boukli
Published: November 2022

In the face of tremendous demographic change, the number of vehicles on the roads is expanding as well. As a result, obtaining an empty parking space has become difficult, especially in certain areas or at important times. Supporting a solution in this direction allows for the resolution of a number of social, economic, and environmental issues. An efficient parking system is required to address some of these issues because it assists vehicle drivers in finding parking spaces as soon as possible, reducing driving time, better managing fuel consumption or energy provided by vehicles or road traffic, reducing air pollution, assisting specialized parking management services in selecting appropriate parking spaces, avoiding congestion, accidents, and ensuring road safety. This paper will examine a variety of recent studies employing on-street parking as a solution. Additionally, this research analyzes and discusses the advantages and drawbacks of many parking systems and provides opportunities for future research.

Published: November 2022

The present experimental analysis has been carried out to compare the changes in the tribological and mechanical properties of brass samples with and without heat treatment. Four Cu-Zn alloy samples are heated in various temperature ranges between 350°C to 800°C. Changes in hardness of all samples are recorded to observe the effect of temperature and time duration. Wear tests are performed in both dry and lubricated conditions. Wear loss and coefficient of friction of samples were measured at loads 20 N, 30 N, 40 N, and 50 N and at rotating disc speeds of 120 rpm, 140 rpm, 160 rpm, and 180 rpm at fixed track diameter for 8 minutes. Better tribological performance was found in the lubricating condition within the entire range of tests carried out. Minimum wear rate was observed for the samples heat treated at 650°C. The wear behavior is also investigated for both kind of samples. Deep grooving and micro ploughing phenomena are observed for non-heat-treated specimens. In the heat-treated state, the plasticity formation is more prominent.

Green trading practices have undertaken in the business sectors in a significant way. Green thinking pattern of people and green innovation have contributed for the growth of green entrepreneurs in the contemporary situation. 3 % of the working population recognized as the entrepreneurs at small and medium scale business enterprises where the enterprises hold the green ideology and practices. The study is based on exploratory in nature using primary as well as secondary data collection. Environmental concern, pollution awareness, sustainability of resource concern, individual health concerns and green innovation have emerged the initiation of green entrepreneurship in the nation. 750 entrepreneurs have been chosen from 40 divisional secretariats in western province using cluster random sample as to testify the opportunities and challenges faced through the entrepreneurs towards green economic practices. Through the initial green practice relevant questions, the required number of 750 has been filtered as green entrepreneurs among the pool. 85% of the entrepreneurs imply the green sense in the trading sector. Green innovation, green knowledge, Environmental concern, individual concern, management of green energy & resources were determined as the independent variables and the existence of the enterprise tagged as the dependent variable. The study revealed that the significant advantages such as product recognition rise in demand for green product, self-efficacy and satisfaction. On the other hand, the absence of green fund, absence of green societal value, green cost, less economic benefits were the real challenges faced by the entrepreneurs to sustain as green entrepreneurs. However, the supportive schemes and the consultation from government for the green entrepreneurs would economically and financially encourage as well as the green awareness of the society would ethically long last green entrepreneurs.

Combination of tolvaptan and valsartan improves cardiac and renal functions in doxorubicin-induced heart failure in mice
Authors: Yan Fengqin , Zhu Hong , He Yingxia , Wu Qinqin , Duan Xiaoyu
Published: November 2022

Heart failure (HF) is often complicated by renal dysfunction. Tolvaptan and valsartan are two well-known agents for the treatment of HF. However, the role of tolvaptan/valsartan combination on HF with renal dysfunction remains unclear. To establish a mice model with HF with renal dysfunction, mice were intraperitoneally injected with doxorubicin (Dox). Echocardiogram was applied to assess the left ventricular function. Additionally, serum aldosterone (ALD) and angiotensin II (Ang II) level in mice were determined by ELISA. Meanwhile, western blot assay was used to evaluate the expressions of B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X (Bax) and cleaved caspase 3 in the heart and kidney tissues of mice. In this study, we found that compared to tolvaptan or valsartan alone treatment group, tolvaptan/valsartan combination obviously improved the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), and reduced serum ALD and Ang II level in Dox-treated mice. Additionally, tolvaptan/valsartan combination significantly prevented the inflammation and fibrosis of heart and kidney tissues in Dox-treated mice. Meanwhile, tolvaptan/valsartan combination notably inhibited the myocardial and renal cell apoptosis in Dox-treated mice via upregulation of Bcl-2 and downregulation of Bax and cleaved caspase 3, compared to the single drug treatment. Collectively, tolvaptan/valsartan combination could improve cardiac and renal functions, as well as prevent the fibrosis, inflammation and apoptosis of heart and kidney tissues in Dox-treated mice. Taken together, combining tolvaptan with valsartan might be a promising approach to achieve enhanced therapeutic effect for treatment of HF with renal dysfunction.

Published: November 2022

Objective:

To investigate the effect of submucosal injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the rate of mini-implant-supported retraction, using a split-mouth randomized clinical design.

Materials and Methods:

Twenty subjects of either gender between 16 and 25 years of age with bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion and crowding of <4 mm scheduled to undergo fixed mechanotherapy with the extraction of 1st premolars; were recruited for the study. Those with a periodontally compromised dentition, blood dyscrasias, smoking/alcoholism, or with a history of fixed orthodontic treatment were not considered. The intervention side received a submucosal injection of autologous PRP which was prepared using 10 ml of the patient’s blood. The rate of extraction space closure on both sides was recorded and compared monthly for 3 months using a digital caliper.

Results:

Mean overall retraction was faster on the intervention side as compared to the control side by 1.5 times and was statistically significant with a P value of 0.001. There was no influence of gender on the rate of retraction. There was no reported swelling or discomfort associated with the PRP injection.

Conclusions:

Submucosal injection of PRP significantly accelerates orthodontic tooth movement and can therefore be used as an effective, safe, and minimally invasive method to expedite orthodontic treatment.

Bacterial counts of hospital linen and effectiveness of laundry process
Authors: Sharma Raman , Krishnamoorthi Sivanantham , Kumar Ashok , Biswal Manisha , Koushal Vipin
Published: November 2022

Background:

Health care linen is a source of healthcare-associated infections. Hospital laundry services play a vital role in linen decontamination. Effective laundry is essential in preventing hospital-acquired infections, especially in multidrug-resistant organisms.

Aims and Objectives:

The study aimed to check the microbial load in linen after the laundry process and the during the supply chain in the hospital. We investigated the bacterial load in linen before and after the laundering process and the linen from stored linen banks.

Materials and Methods:

Linens (n=125) from the hospital were collected in different stages of the laundry process [31 linen before decontamination; 94 linen after decontamination (Post washing = 30; Linen Bank = 34; Ward 30)]. A square inch of linen from each linen was vortexed in normal saline, and colony forming units (CFU)/inch of linen were calculated using appropriate media. The identification and susceptibility of organisms were performed using MALDI-TOF MS and CLSI disk diffusion methods, respectively. The difference in the load of the organism was analysed between different stages of the laundry and storage process.

Results:

We found that100% of pre-decontamination linen harbour viable organisms (22.59% including multidrug-resistant pathogenic organisms: MDROs), which decreased to 40% (no MDROs) post-decontamination. The overall load was reduced by a factor of 103.77.

Conclusion:

The microbial contamination of linen is common, and there is an urgent need to develop consensus on the microbial examination frequency and acceptable range of organisms on hospital linen worldwide.
Minimal exponents of hyperplane sections: a conjecture of Teissier

We prove a conjecture of Teissier asserting that if

f

P

and

H

is a smooth hypersurface through

, then

\widetilde{\alpha}_P(f)\geq \widetilde{\alpha}_P(f\vert_H)+\frac{1}{\theta_P(f)+1}

f\vert_H

, respectively, and

\theta_P(f)

is an invariant obtained by comparing the integral closures of the powers of the Jacobian ideal of

The new ingredients are a result concerning the behavior of Hodge ideals with respect to finite maps and a result about the behavior of certain Hodge ideals for families of isolated singularities with constant Milnor number. In the opposite direction, we show that for every

P

, then

\widetilde{\alpha}_P(f)\leq \widetilde{\alpha}_P(f\vert_H)+\frac{1}{{\rm mult}_P(f)}

PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL COMPONENTS OF THE QUALITY OF PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY OF SCIENTIFIC AND PEDAGOGICAL WORKERS
Authors: Terletska Yuliana
Published: November 2022

The monograph takes the point further of the quality of professional activity of a scientific and pedagogical worker at the present stage of human development and its criteria. It grounds the psychological and pedagogical model, which ensures the quality of professional activity of academic staff. This model epitomizes a system of psychological and pedagogical elements (units) with specified characteristics and properties, which correctly correspond in their value, purpose, and time. They reproduce the process of providing and maintaining a high level of professional knowledge, skills, general and professional competencies, personal qualities and self-organization, professional abilities, professional orientation and activity, motivation for an effective professional activity and psychological and pedagogical professional reputation in interaction with applicants for higher education. It is proved that in structural and functional terms the psychological and pedagogical model of ensuring the quality of professional activity of a scientific and pedagogical worker includes the following interrelated functional units: 1) a knowledge-competency-personal module, which maintains the academic staff’s knowledge, skills, competencies, personal qualities and reputation at a proper level; 2) a professional-motivational module, which motivates to achieve success in professional activities; 3) a professional-managerial module, which effectively manages the higher education process; 4) a professional-orientational module, which ensures its positive professional orientation; 5) a professional-constructive module, which shapes its psychological and pedagogical reputation, as well as prevents occupational hazards. In general this model contains 16 components, which are functionally interacting and ensure the quality of a scientific and pedagogical worker's professional activity. The author has developed a methodology for determining and evaluating the level of development of the quality of research and teaching staff's professional activity and all its components. The level of professional activity of each scientific and pedagogical employee of the sample is empirically determined based on the assessment of its components. The features and differences are also empirically revealed concerning the quality of professional activity of seven subgroups of scientific and pedagogical workers, grouped by their age and length of teaching experience. The monograph broadens knowledge about the content of psychological and pedagogical professional reliability of a scientific and pedagogical worker and its dependence on the worker's professional burnout. The author has further developed the following: ideas about the psychological and pedagogical components of the quality of professional activity of scientific and pedagogical workers; methods of psychodiagnostics of psychological and pedagogical professional reliability of a scientific and pedagogical worker.

Published: November 2022

The purpose of the article was to clarify the essence of human value in the positivist type of legal understanding. To achieve the objectives of the publication, such methods were used as: philosophical dialectics, analysis, synthesis, functional, axiological, historical, special legal. As a result of the study it was concluded that the essence of human value in normative jurisprudence is due to the need to know the law and the need to realize the interests and needs of man by law. It was also argued that the basis of "humanistic" positive law should be natural law, which meets the need for its humanization, recognition and real process of realization of individual rights. The authors found that the knowledge of the essence of human value in the framework of positive law is possible only with the study of the theoretical foundations of normativism, identifying both positive and negative characteristics. It is concluded that it is proved that the use of general principles of law in the process of functioning of the legal system is an indicator of a high level of legal awareness of persons whose activities are related to law enforcement.
CHEMICAL FRACTIONATION AND MOBILITY OF HEAVY METALS IN ALLUVIAL FLOODPLAINS OF SOME RIVERS IN EKITI STATE, SOUTHWEST NIGERIA
Authors: AKODU D. O. , AIYESANMI A. F. , TOMORI W. B.
Published: November 2022

Floodplains are agro zone for most vegetables worldwide and incidentally they are sinks for pollutants especially heavy metals. The total concentration of metals is not a good indicator of mobility/bioavailability or potential risk assessment hence more preferred elemental geochemical environment. This study is therefore aimed at investigating the geochemical environment of some potentially harmful elements in the agro zone flood plains of some rivers in Ekiti State, Southwest Nigeria. Bulked soil samples of 0-10cm, 10-20cm and 20-30cmdepth were collected at 5m, 25m and 45m perpendicular distances to the river course. Soil samples were air-dried in the dust free open laboratory, disaggregated, sieved through 2mm BS mesh and sequentially fractionated using Tessier’s method. The result shows that a large proportion of the fractions were found in the non-mobile fractions bound to organic matter (F4)and residual (F5), implying that the metals may not be readily available for plant uptake. The mobility factor for the metals at Irintan floodplain, (Ogbese) Omi-Eye floodplain (Erio) and Egbigbu floodplain (Ayetoro),were respectively in the order Pb>Zn>Cr>Cu>Fe>Cd, Cd>Fe>Cu>Zn>Pb>Cr and Cd>Zn>Cr>Fe>Cu>Pb. This suggests that cadmium has the highest mobility factor at both Omi-Eye and Egbigbu floodplains than other metals. This portends danger as the metal is known to be potentially toxic to ecosystem. It is hereby recommended to regulatory authorities to carry out a more detailed assessment of the floodplains for potentially toxic metals contamination to forestall transfer to human through plant uptake.

Published: November 2022

To minimize the problems resulting from chronic kidney disease, the practice of physical activities is indicated and consequently the improvement of physical capacity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between functional capacity and physical activity level in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 24 individuals at hemodialysis clinic in the northwestern portion of the state of Rio Grande do Sul/Brazil. The outcome variables were distance traveled on the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and physical activity level determined by the average number of steps per day measured using a pedometer (objective measure) as well as the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (subjective measure). It was shown that the distance travelled on the 6MWT was not correlated with the average number of steps per day or results of the IPAQ. In contrast, a moderate correlation was found between the two physical activity measures (pedometer and IPAQ). The patients were classified as insufficiently active and also had low functional capacity, with a mean of 53.93% of the predicted distance on the 6MWT. It is concluded that no significant correlation was found between functional capacity measured using the 6MWT and physical activity level measured using a pedometer and the IPAQ. A moderate correlation was found between the pedometer and IPAQ. The patients were insufficiently active and achieved low percentages of the predicted distance on the 6MWT.

Published: November 2022

The article presents the results of the assessment of the absorbed dose rate from incorporated radionuclides of 137Cs and 90Sr in the body of wild boar living in an area with different levels of radioactive contamination. The internal irradiation dose was evaluated for incorporated 137Cs in muscle and 90Sr in bone tissue of wild boar. During the assessment, it was assumed that radionuclides 137Cs uniformly distributed in the tissue and are in equilibrium conditions, and radionuclides are 90Sr concentrated in the bone tissue of the animal, during the year the concentration of radionuclides is assumed to be constant. In total, samples were obtained from 117 wild boar individuals, among which 87 animals were seized in the exclusion zone and 30 in the resettlement zone. From the animal carcass, spot samples of muscle tissue were taken according to 500 ± 50 g, the 137Cs content in the samples was determined for raw, natural mass. The activity of 90Sr in bone tissue was determined by radiochemical method. As a result of the studies, it was found that the average total exposure dose of wild boar seized in the exclusion zone is twice that of animals seized in the resettlement zone (p < 0,05) and amounted to 653,6 ± 73,5 mGy/day for animals harvested in the exclusion zone and 328,8 ± 31,4 mGy/day for wild boar living in the zone resettlement. Analysis of the coefficients of variation showed that the maximum variation is observed among the values of the absorbed dose of radiation from the incorporated 137Cs in animals that were seized in the exclusion zone. The minimum variation rate occurs with respect to the external exposure dose in animals harvested in the resettlement zone. There is no significant difference (p < 0,05) between the median absorbed dose of exposure of wild boars living in the exclusion zone and the resettlement zone. The result of our studies suggests that the density of contamination is not the main factor determining the formation of an animal’s radiation dose.

Authors:   Institute of Power Engineering, National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Zorina Tatyana G.
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the influence of economic, technological, social and environmental factors on the development of the energy sector by improving the methodology of sustainable energy development. By sustainable energy development, the author understands the development of a self-regulating system of energy supply and energy consumption, ensuring energy security, equally affordable satisfaction of energy needs and aspirations of all segments of society to preserve the environment. The factors of sustainable energy development are divided according to the following criteria: by the direction of impact (external and internal); by the sphere to which they relate (economic, technological, social and environmental); by the principles of assessing sustainable energy development (availability of resources, directions of socio-economic development, demand for energy resources, energy security). With the method proposed by the author for calculating the integral indicator characterizing sustainable energy development, each of the factors (economic, technological, social and environmental) is assigned the same weight. A dynamic analysis of the sustainable economic development of the Republic of Belarus in 2010-2019 was carried out, which, in general, in 2019 increased by 4 % compared to 2010. In the context of individual factors , the following dynamics is observed. 1. Economic factors: the highest value was achieved in 2011-2012 (0.432), the lowest was observed in 2013 (0.385). 2. Technological factors are characterized by a significant degree of unevenness: the highest value was achieved in 2019 (0.418), the lowest was observed in 2014 (0.336). 3. The level of social factors has not changed significantly: the highest values in 2014 (0.949), the lowest value was observed in 2010 and 2019 (0.9234) 4. Environmental factors of sustainable energy development had positive dynamics: their level increased in 2019 compared to 2010 by 4.37 % from 0.559 to 0.585. Based on the results of the analysis, measures aimed at sustainable energy development of the Republic of Belarus are formulated. 1. Development of electric transport. Currently, about 3,100 electric-powered vehicles are in operation in the republic. 2. The use of electricity in residential construction for heating and hot water supply. 3. Complete electrification of railway transport. Currently, this figure is about 25 %. 4.

The rapid development of communication technologies has made the same a powerful weapon for propaganda of certain ideological models. The spread of misleading and frankly fake news is a persistent trend, especially in social media. Hybrid wars are an integral part of the arsenal of authoritarian regimes in their attempts to take revenge on the liberal world. This again brings us to knowledge as the most important element for guidance and survival in the information world. The ability to distinguish between lying and manipulation and truth is a litmus for a well-educated person.

Published: November 2022

The article discusses the interpretation of death in Atanas Lipchev’s last novel. It notes the multiplicity of the images of mortality in the text, organized in a clear fiction system, their cultural and philosophic content, the memory of their functions in the ontogenesis of the concept of death and the strategies to fight the fear of death.
Teaching Evidence-based Practice: Perspectives from the Undergraduate and Post-graduate Viewpoint
Authors: Ilic Dragan
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Evidence-based practice (EBP) involves making clinical decisions informed by the most relevant and valid evidence available. It has been suggested that the outcomes of teaching EBP skills may differ between undergraduates and post-graduates due to different determinants in learning. This paper reviews the current literature and discusses the impact of the teaching environment (undergraduate or post-graduate) for teaching EBP and its impact on EBP competency.

Methods: A search of the literature was performed across the MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsychInfo and ERIC databases. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomised trials were eligible for inclusion in the paper. Studies were included for review if they explored the impact of teaching on participants’ EBP competency, consisting of critical appraisal skills, knowledge and/or behaviour.

Results: Ten articles were eligible for inclusion for this review, of which 7 met all inclusion criteria. EBP competency was shown to increase regardless of whether EBP is delivered to medical students at an undergraduate or post-graduate level. EBP taught to a non-medical undergraduate audience did not modify participants’ EBP competency. No study directly compared teaching EBP to an undergraduate and post-graduate audience.

Conclusions: Given the limited amount of studies included in this review, further research incorporating high- level methodologies is required to establish a clear recommendation on the research question.

Este artigo aponta para a análise das relações de poder, segundo Michel Foucault, na obra A grande fábrica de palavras, de Agnès de Lestrade. Por meio de uma mediação de leitura literária no espaço escolar, esse trabalho objetiva refletir sobre as relações de poder vivenciadas no cotidiano social. Para tanto, usamos como metodologia de pesquisa o Círculo de Leitura de Rildo Cosson (2021) e dividimos o trabalho em duas seções: uma síntese da obra com reflexões sobre o conceito de poder, apresentando suas relações em uma perspectiva foucaultiana, junto à proposta de mediação de leitura numa escola pública em Fortaleza-CE.

Spatial, temporal and demographic patterns of cetacean strandings in the northcentral Gulf of Mexico

There are few published reports that summarise long‐term stranding data for cetaceans in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Cetacean stranding data from Alabama (AL) in the northcentral GoM have been recorded since 1978, with dedicated stranding response beginning in 1987, providing an opportunity to characterise spatial, temporal and demographic stranding patterns for this unique area, which links the eastern and western northern GoM coastline. To elucidate long‐term patterns, we analysed stranding records in AL from 1978–2018, taking into consideration the effects of periodic unusual mortality events (UMEs) on stranding demographics. During this 41‐year period, 774 stranding events were recorded involving at least 13 different cetacean species. Common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) were the most reported stranded cetacean (n = 692, 89.4%), followed by Stenella spp. (n = 31, 4.0%). Spatial analysis revealed three stranding hotspots for bottlenose dolphins and an additional hotspot for non‐bottlenose dolphin species that may represent a geographic influence in the northcentral GoM for strandings of offshore cetaceans. Because strandings were dominated by bottlenose dolphins, additional demographic analyses were possible for this species. Strandings occurred most often in the spring (March–May), and females and foetuses stranded more often in calving (January–April) than non‐calving season, consistent with increased mortality related to birthing or reproductive‐associated events. Subadults were found stranded more often than other size classes, indicating a potential stranding bias for this age class. These data are critical to guide future stranding response efforts, define vulnerable populations and help understand causes of mortality through time in the northcentral GoM. Our findings also highlight the importance of long‐term, consistent stranding response to enable identifying spatial and temporal trends that are necessary to support meaningful, range‐wide management and conservation.
