Published: October 2024

Global challenges are posed by the exponential rise in solid waste resulting from development and population growth. This chapter explores the effective management of solid waste in rural tourist hubs, focusing on its gathering, transportation, treatment, and disposal practices, along with a thorough assessment of the solid waste management (SWM) hurdles, while highlighting few illustrative instances. Ineffective waste management disturbs the ecosystem, pollutes the environment, and endangers public health. Sustainable methods for handling waste rely heavily on a variety of technologies, including recycling, pyrolysis, incineration, composting, and waste-to-energy transformation. Less polluted, more nutritious, as well as more resilient neighborhoods can be achieved by incorporating systems for waste management in place, increasing public awareness, and adhering to the reduce, reuse, and recycle principles. This meticulous overview offers valuable information to business and academic fraternity to overcome the present challenges and promote the growth of rural tourism sector.

Authors: Nuong Mildred , Singh Amrik , Zaazie Perpetual , Berry Karan
Published: October 2024

In recent years, the exponential population growth, high density of urban areas, diverse culture, changing food habits, and lifestyles have seen an unresolved problem in terms of Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) in India. Solid waste generation and disposal is one of the most negative impacts of hotels on the environment. Hospitality industries often pay little attention to their environmental responsibilities. Solid waste is a key concern in the hospitality industry. Typically, a hotel guest can produce 1 kg of waste per day which accumulates to thousands of tons of waste annually. Many hotel operators have very little interest in reducing and/or recycling waste, believing that such activities are too expensive and time-consuming. The main objective of this study is to explore the types of solid waste management from hotels and present typical practices for waste prevention/minimization at source.

Published: October 2024

Background and Objectives:

Functional dissociative seizures (FDS) are very common in neurology clinics, they straddle both neurology and psychiatry. In India, scarce resources and guidelines are available for effectively conveying their diagnosis and management, which leads to a substantial gap in care. We aimed to provide an instructional module for FDS, tailored to clinicians, patients, and caregivers in Hindi, to enhance communication of diagnosis and facilitate suitable management strategies.

Methods:

The instructional module development process was based on clinical settings and expert opinions. A standard translation process was performed to ensure the linguistic and cultural equivalence. Validation was carried out by a panel of 15 validators, comprising 13 neurologists and two psychiatrists, to identify key psychoeducation components and their significance. They were provided a questionnaire consisting of five questions that were related to completeness, understandability, legibility, clarification, and usefulness of educational material for clinicians, patients, and caregivers. Items were rated using a 5-point Likert scale.

Results:

There was agreement on four items (Q1, Q3, Q4, and Q5), whereas approximately 85% of the validators agreed on the remaining one item (Q2). The instructional module demonstrated high content validity as indicated by both item level-content validity index (0.98) and scale-level content validity index (0.97), alongside content validity ratio and modified kappa statistics.

Conclusions:

The developed Hindi instructional module for FDS serves as a valuable tool to enhance the communication of FDS diagnosis and dispel misconceptions. This offers a comprehensive resource for clinicians, patients, and caregivers in India, potentially bridging gap in FDS care.

Authors: Xiong Tian-Yu , Liu Zhan-Liang , Wu Hao-Yu , Fan Yun-Peng , Niu Yi-Nong
Published: October 2024

Urinary incontinence is a common complication following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Urethral length has been identified as a factor affecting postoperative continence recovery. In this meta-analysis, we examined the association between use of the maximal urethral length preservation (MULP) technique and postoperative urinary continence in patients undergoing RARP. We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library up to December 31, 2023. The quality of the literature was assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed to synthesize data and calculate the odds ratio (OR) from eligible studies on continence and MULP. Six studies involving 1869 patients met the eligibility criteria. MULP was positively associated with both early continence (1 month after RARP; Z = 3.62, P = 0.003, OR = 3.10, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.68–5.73) and late continence (12 months after RARP; Z = 2.34, P = 0.019, OR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.13–3.90). Oncological outcomes indicated that MULP did not increase the overall positive surgical margin rate or the positive surgical margin status at the prostate apex (both P > 0.05). In conclusion, the use of the MULP technique in RARP significantly improved both early and late postoperative continence outcomes without compromising oncological outcomes.
Prevalence and Risk Factors of Low Birth Weight among Neonates Delivered in Health Facilities in Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria
Authors: Michael Aondoaseer , Ochoga Martha Omo , Eseigbe Edwin Ehi
Published: October 2024

Background:

Low birth weight (LBW) is an important marker of fetal health that is predictive of mortality in childhood, stunting, and adult-onset chronic conditions globally. Approximately 20 million LBW births occur every year globally with 96.5% of them in developing countries. LBW contributes to 60%–80% of all neonatal deaths globally and the rates have remained high in developing countries such as Nigeria. This study therefore aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of LBW among neonates delivered in health facilities in Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study was carried out in eight selected health facilities at different levels of care within the Makurdi metropolis. A total of 206 neonates were recruited, weighed, and examined within the first hour of life while sociodemographic data were collected using a pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS 23.

Results:

Out of the 206 neonates studied, 24 (11.7%) were LBW. Among the 24 LBW neonates, 75% (18) were term while 25% (6) were preterm. The mean weight of the LBW neonates was 2.18 ± 0.18 kg. The mean gestation was 38.52 ± 1.61 weeks. The factors that were significantly associated with LBW were; gestational age at birth (P = 0.028), type of gestation (P = 0.004), socioeconomic class of the baby (P = 0.036), nonbooking for antenatal care (ANC) (P = 0.040), place of ANC (P = 0.028), and hypertension in pregnancy (P = 0.033).

Conclusion:

The prevalence of LBW was lower than the national prevalence and not booking for ANC was found to be associated with increased risk for LBW. Hence, early and adequate ANC is recommended.
Targeting capabilities of engineered extracellular vesicles for the treatment of neurological diseases
Authors: Yang Xinyu , Gao Xiangyu , Jiang Xiaofan , Yue Kangyi , Luo Peng
Published: October 2024

Recent advances in research on extracellular vesicles have significantly enhanced their potential as therapeutic agents for neurological diseases. Owing to their therapeutic properties and ability to cross the blood–brain barrier, extracellular vesicles are recognized as promising drug delivery vehicles for various neurological conditions, including ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, neurodegenerative diseases, glioma, and psychosis. However, the clinical application of natural extracellular vesicles is hindered by their limited targeting ability and short clearance from the body. To address these limitations, multiple engineering strategies have been developed to enhance the targeting capabilities of extracellular vesicles, thereby enabling the delivery of therapeutic contents to specific tissues or cells. Therefore, this review aims to highlight the latest advancements in natural and targeting-engineered extracellular vesicles, exploring their applications in treating traumatic brain injury, ischemic stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, glioma, and psychosis. Additionally, we summarized recent clinical trials involving extracellular vesicles and discussed the challenges and future prospects of using targeting-engineered extracellular vesicles for drug delivery in treating neurological diseases. This review offers new insights for developing highly targeted therapies in this field.
Long-range Ising models: Contours, phase transitions and decaying fields
Authors: Affonso Lucas , Bissacot Rodrigo , Endo Eric O. , Handa Satoshi
Published: October 2024

Inspired by Fröhlich–Spencer and subsequent authors who introduced the notion of contour for long-range systems, we provide a definition of contour and a direct proof for the phase transition for ferromagnetic long-range Ising models on

\mathbb{Z}^{d}

,

d\geq 2

. The argument, which is based on a multiscale analysis, works for the sharp region

\alpha>d

and improves previous results obtained by Park for

\alpha>3d+1

, and by Ginibre, Grossmann and Ruelle for

\alpha> d+1

, where

\alpha

is the power of the coupling constant. The key idea is to avoid a large number of small contours. As an application, we prove the persistence of the phase transition when we add a polynomially decaying magnetic field with power

\delta>0

as

h^{*}|x|^{-\delta}

, where

h^{*} >0

. For 

d<\alpha<d+1

, the phase transition occurs when

\delta>\alpha-d

, and when

h^{*}

is small enough over the critical line

\delta=\alpha-d

. For 

\alpha \geq d+1

,

\delta>1

is enough to prove the phase transition, and for

\delta=1

we have to ask

h^{*}

small. The natural conjecture is that this region is also sharp for the phase transition problem when we have a decaying field.
Topological symmetry in quantum field theory
Authors: Freed Daniel S. , Moore Gregory W. , Teleman Constantin
Published: October 2024

We introduce a definition and framework for internal topological symmetries in quantum field theory, including “noninvertible symmetries” and “categorical symmetries”. We outline a calculus of topological defects which takes advantage of well-developed theorems and techniques in topological field theory. Our discussion focuses on finite symmetries, and we give indications for a generalization to other symmetries. We treat quotients and quotient defects (often called “gauging” and “condensation defects”), finite electromagnetic duality, and duality defects, among other topics. We include an appendix on finite homotopy theories, which are often used to encode finite symmetries and for which computations can be carried out using methods of algebraic topology. Throughout we emphasize exposition and examples over a detailed technical treatment.

Problems of Employment of Academic Teachers—Reflections de lege lata and de lege ferenda
Authors: Baran Krzysztof Wojciech , Lekston Mariusz
Published: October 2024

The nature of employment of academic teachers is complex not only because their employment is regulated by the codes of practice with the auxiliary application of the provisions of the Labor Code and other sources of labor law, but also because it is related to the presence of public law elements in the obligatory bond of the employment relationship. The need for pragmatic regulation of the employment relationship of academic teachers seems obvious, and is justified by the differences in their rights and obligations in comparison with the general regulations. However, it should be noted that by approximating the structure of the academic employment relationship to the obligatory mechanism in the context of general labor law, we seem to ignore many specific and important features of this employment. Therefore, normative shortcomings of the applicable act can be observed. It seems that within de lege ferenda proposals, the one referring to the model solution, which takes into account the specificity of the work of academic teachers, is fundamental. Such a solution seems to be expected primarily due to the role played by the system of higher education and science in the structures of the state.

Authors: Cole Jaclyn , Ruble Melissa , Astle Kevin , Tabulov Christine , Singleton Jerica , Sunjic Katlynd
Published: October 2024

Background: Skills-based courses in pharmacy curricula are uniquely poised to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) as part of practical training for practice readiness. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate how pharmacy curricula currently use or plan to use AI within skills-based courses.
Methods: Invitations to complete an anonymous Qualtrics® XM survey were e-mailed to faculty members of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, requiring identification as a skills-based faculty coordinator for participation. The survey remained open for two months with biweekly reminders. It assessed current and potential AI utilisation within curricula and administrative functions. Data was analysed categorically based on responses.
Results: Of the 98 pharmacy skills-based faculty coordinator survey responses submitted, only 18% reported currently utilising AI within courses, most commonly through gamification. Additionally, 15% reported using AI for administrative course tasks. About 60% reported considering AI implementation, usually within the next two years. The most common reasons for not yet implementing AI included a lack of familiarity with AI and its unclear role in pharmacy education.
Conclusion: The reported AI integration in skills-based pharmacy courses and administrative functions is currently low. Although interest seems high, there are barriers to implementing AI, including faculty understanding of the technology and the purpose of its integration into pharmacy education.

Authors: Jonnie Jonnie , Soeherman Bonnie
Published: October 2024

This study aims to examine the impact of heuristic involvement on the behavior and decisions of cryptocurrency investors. The study employs an interpretivism paradigm with a qualitative approach to understand the perspectives of both beginner and experienced cryptocurrency investors, using interviews, observations, and document analysis. Four cryptocurrency investors participated in the study. Interviews were conducted three times a week, while observations followed a semi-structured format to gather in-depth insights from four investors. Document analysis complemented the findings by reviewing relevant literature on the impact on investment behavior. Data collection included non-participant observations of investor behavior and decision-making habits, interviews that explored the factors influencing these decisions, and an analysis of documents, including previous research on heurism biases. Heuristic representativeness is a useful tool to predict the development of cryptocurrencies in the long term to a certain extent.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the links between overweight in women giving birth in early pregnancy and the condition of their newborns at the Souissi maternity hospital in Rabat, two factors closely linked to the achievement of the 3rd Sustainable Development Goal, which is based on ensuring healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
 
Materials and Methods: This was a prospective descriptive study conducted over a 9-month period from March to November 2022, at the Souissi maternity hospital in Rabat. Including mothers of newborns who followed their pregnancy, were either normal weight or overweight at the beginning of pregnancy, and had an uncomplicated pregnancy. 
 
Results: A total of 1,145 newborns were recruited. With a response rate of 81.65% and using a mixed questionnaire, the number of newborns surveyed was 935, subdivided into two groups. A group of mothers of normal-bodied newborns (637 cases) and a group of mothers of overweight newborns (298 cases). This study showed the existence of associations between overweight at the start of pregnancy, recorded in the mothers of the newborns surveyed, and the term of delivery (P=0.033), the course of delivery (P=0.031), the mode of delivery (P=0.005), the Apgar score at 5min below 7 (P=0.004) and neonatal complications (P=0.002).
 
Discussion: This study, found that 68.13% of surveyed mothers had a normal BMI, while 31.87% were overweight at the beginning of pregnancy. They were more likely to have overdue deliveries (70.80% vs. 25.27% for normal-weight mothers) and dystocic deliveries (25.50% vs. 4.24%). Overweight status also correlated with higher rates of vaginal delivery (27.18% vs. 0.78% for normal-weight mothers) and poorer Apgar scores (36.58% vs. 12.56%).

Aims:  This study aims to analyze the evolution of a cohort of low-birth-weight newborns at neonatal discharge, identifying key health outcomes and socio-economic factors. The goal is to inform strategies aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), focusing on improving neonatal health, reducing child mortality, and promoting equitable access to healthcare.
 
Method:  A 12-month prospective cohort study was conducted from June 2020 to July 2021 at the neonatal and nutrition referral center of the Rabat children's hospital. The study included all newborns admitted with a birth weight under 2500g, regardless of the cause of hospitalization.
 
Results:  Among 200 low-birth-weight newborns, 42.5% showed extra-uterine growth retardation at discharge. Of these, 50.6% were full-term newborns and 36% were premature infants. Full-term newborns regained birth weight in an average of 5.96±4.07 days, with a median of 4 days. For premature infants, weight recovery averaged 11±8.09 days, with a median of 8 days.
 
Conclusions:  The study assessed the progress of low-birth-weight full-term and premature babies at discharge. Tailored nutritional management is crucial, requiring an adaptable strategy from the start and continued adjustments based on clinical progress. Of the cohort, 36.03% were hypotrophic premature infants, and 50.6% were full-term low-birth-weight babies. Enhancing neonatal care quality remains a key challenge, emphasizing the need for collaboration among healthcare professionals to ensure growth monitoring and meet the specific needs of this vulnerable group.

Objective: This study investigates the barriers preventing female participation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education in India, aligning with SDG 5 (Gender Equality). The research aims to identify demotivation factors faced by female students and develop participant-informed recommendations to foster greater female engagement in these disciplines.
 
Method: A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing open-ended surveys, narrative interviews, and focus groups with female students across various educational levels in India. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify patterns and themes related to the barriers and potential solutions for increasing female participation in STEM.
 
Results: The study reveals key barriers, including cultural expectations, gender discrimination, institutional biases, lack of female role models, and social pressures, which discourage women from pursuing STEM careers. Specific challenges such as safety concerns, biased judgments, and limited mentorship opportunities were also highlighted. Based on these findings, several recommendations emerged, including policy reforms, inclusive curricula, gender sensitization programs, mentorship initiatives, and early engagement activities.
 
Contribution: The study contributes to the understanding of gender disparities in STEM education in India by offering actionable insights for policymakers, educators, and communities. It emphasizes a multifaceted approach combining cultural change, policy reform, institutional support, and targeted interventions to foster an inclusive environment for women in STEM. This research aligns with SDG 5 by advocating for strategies that promote gender equity and empower women in traditionally male-dominated fields. Future research should focus on evaluating the long-term effectiveness of these interventions across diverse contexts and disciplines.

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the different effects of advertising interactive experiences, and explore effective advertising interactive methods, to provide effective parenting advertising training for abusive parents.
 
Theoretical Framework: Refers to the multi-sensory advertising interaction model based on the studies before, such as the AIEDA tourism advertising effects model, schema congruence theory, and a spiral brand experience concept.
 
Method: This study conducted the distinct "Systematic Literature Review Synthesis Process", a stand-alone literature review typology that helps make sense of a chosen body of current literature and helps determine the theoretical framework at the early stages of research ideation.
 
Results and Discussion: The results revealed that visual, auditory, and multi-sensory interactions all have different elements and characteristics and could cause different levels of attention, memory, and emotions for audiences.
 
Research Implications: The results are expected to guide the development of a theoretical framework for combining advertising and user experience interaction.
 
Originality/Value: The research helps to identify interactive sensory experience characteristics in advertisements, guide the effective dissemination of parenting public service advertisements, and create a happier family atmosphere for children, to promote SDG 3 on ensuring healthy lifestyles and promoting the well-being of people of all ages.

Introduction: Tourism resources provide great potential for tourism development, but at the same time, they also face problems such as over-exploitation and environmental damage, so it is crucial to achieve a balance between development and conservation. This study explores the development and protection of tourism resources in China. Background: Since the reform and opening up of China more than 30 years ago, China's tourism industry has rapidly developed into one of the important pillar industries of the national economy. At the same time, the destruction of tourism resources has also become more and more prominent, therefore, we must correctly deal with the relationship between the development and protection of tourism resources, to ensure the economic benefits while achieving the sustainable development of tourism resources. Novelty: Many studies in China currently focus on either tourism development or conservation, but this study endeavours to consider the relationship between the two in an integrated manner, providing a comprehensive approach to effectively develop and conserve China's rich tourism resources, while at the same time obtaining economic benefits. Research Methods: This study adopts the methods of literature review and qualitative analysis to review the research results on the development and protection of China's tourism resources by collecting relevant literature and summarising and analysing the ideas in the literature to conclude the development and protection of China's tourism resources. Finally, corresponding management suggestions and policy measures are proposed based on the conclusions. Results:To promote the sustainable use and protection of tourism resources, and to ensure the long-term stability and sustainability of the resources Conclusions: To solve this problem, this study puts forward the following suggestions: (1) to formulate strict laws and regulations; (2) to raise the overall awareness of environmental protection; (3) to promote the corresponding scientific research and technological support; (4) to strengthen tourism planning and management. (5) Establishment of funds for the protection of tourism resources; (6) Strengthening of cooperation and exchanges.
