The Impact of User Benefits on Continuous Contribution Behavior Based on the Perspective of Stimulus–Organism–Response Theory
Authors: Sun Zhongyuan , Hu Di , Lou Xuming , Li Yucheng
Published: October 2023

With the rapid development of the Internet, enterprises have integrated internal and external innovation resources through the establishment of open innovation communities, guided users to participate in innovation activities, and promoted product improvement and development. Users’ continuous contribution behavior is a key factor for open innovation communities to achieve sustainable development, yet most communities do not collect enough data on them. This study investigates the mechanism of user benefits on continuous contribution behavior in open innovation communities based on the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S-O-R) theory, which creatively takes self-verification as a member of the organism (O). This was chosen to overcome the aforementioned issues. Based on the questionnaire data of 469 users in open innovation communities, the SEM method was applied to test the relationship between user benefits, self-verification, and continuous contribution behavior, and the moderating role of future work self-salience on self-verification. The empirical results show that user benefits positively affected both continuous contribution behavior and self-verification. Self-verification positively affected continuous contribution behavior and mediated the relationship between economic, functional, and self-fulfillment benefits and continuous contribution behavior. Meanwhile, future work self-salience positively moderated the relationship between these three types of benefits and self-verification. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the sustainable development of open innovation communities and guiding users to engage in continuous contribution behavior.
Development of Bioplastics from Cassava toward the Sustainability of Cassava Value Chain in Thailand
Authors: Lilavanichakul Apichaya , Yoksan Rangrong
Published: October 2023

Population growth and urbanization in Thailand has generated negative environmental externalities and the underuse of agricultural materials. Plastics from cassava present an alternative that helps reduce the use of non-biodegradable petroleum-based plastics and can reshape a sustainable cassava value chain. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the cassava value chain, consumer acceptance, and the opportunities and challenges for developing bioplastics from cassava in Thailand. We analyze the value added to different applications of cassava products and investigate the consumer acceptance of bioplastic from cassava using a two-step cluster analysis. From an economic perspective, bioplastics based on cassava add a value of 14.8–22 times that of cassava roots. We conducted a survey of 915 respondents and found that consumer acceptance of bioplastic products from cassava accounts for 48.6% of all respondents, but few are willing to pay extra for them. We also found that the development of cassava-based bioplastic not only positively contributes to economic aspects but also generates beneficial long-term impacts on social and environmental aspects. Considering cassava supply, bioplastic production, and potential consumer acceptance, the development of bioplastics from cassava in Thailand faces several barriers and is growing slowly, but is needed to drive the sustainable cassava value chain. This study provides guidelines for businesses and the government to adopt bioplastics from cassava.
High-Dimensional Periodic Framelet with Only One Symmetric Generator
Authors: Zhang Zhihua
Published: October 2023

Various symmetric framelets and periodic framelets are widely utilized in data analysis due to their resilience to background noise, avoidance of linear phase distortion, and the stability of redundant representation. At present, the number of generators in known periodic framelets in high-dimensional space is infinite. It is natural to ask whether a periodic framelet exists with only one generator in high-dimensional space. In this study, for any given positive numbers, A and B, we will construct one symmetric framelet generator. This generator’s integer translate, dyadic dilation, and periodization can produce a periodic frame with optimal bounds A and B.

Published: October 2023

A transversal study was conducted among 472 vulnerable individuals (recyclable waste pickers, immigrants and refugees, homeless individuals, as well as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transexual individuals) in Goiânia City, the capital of the State of Goiás, Brazil, to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection. A total of 459 (97.2%) serum samples were tested for anti-HEV IgG and IgM antibodies using fully automated chemiluminescence immunoassays (Liaison® Murex Anti-HEV IgG and IgM assays, DiaSorin, Saluggia, Italy). Positive samples were tested for the presence of HEV RNA by a real-time polymerase chain reaction. A seroprevalence of 0.87% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.34–2.22) was found for anti-HEV IgG. Furthermore, anti-HEV IgM was detected in only one individual (0.22%; 95% CI: 0.04–1.22), who was also negative for HEV RNA. These findings revealed that HEV infection is infrequent in vulnerable individuals in Central Brazil, with low seroprevalence of past and recent HEV infections.
Comparative Analysis of Conformational Dynamics and Systematic Characterization of Cryptic Pockets in the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2, BA.2.75 and XBB.1 Spike Complexes with the ACE2 Host Receptor: Confluence of Binding and Structural Plasticity in Mediating Networks of Conserved Allosteric Sites

Published: October 2023

In the current study, we explore coarse-grained simulations and atomistic molecular dynamics together with binding energetics scanning and cryptic pocket detection in a comparative examination of conformational landscapes and systematic characterization of allosteric binding sites in the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2, BA.2.75 and XBB.1 spike full-length trimer complexes with the host receptor ACE2. Microsecond simulations, Markov state models and mutational scanning of binding energies of the SARS-CoV-2 BA.2 and BA.2.75 receptor binding domain complexes revealed the increased thermodynamic stabilization of the BA.2.75 variant and significant dynamic differences between these Omicron variants. Molecular simulations of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron spike full-length trimer complexes with the ACE2 receptor complemented atomistic studies and enabled an in-depth analysis of mutational and binding effects on conformational dynamic and functional adaptability of the Omicron variants. Despite considerable structural similarities, Omicron variants BA.2, BA.2.75 and XBB.1 can induce unique conformational dynamic signatures and specific distributions of the conformational states. Using conformational ensembles of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron spike trimer complexes with ACE2, we conducted a comprehensive cryptic pocket screening to examine the role of Omicron mutations and ACE2 binding on the distribution and functional mechanisms of the emerging allosteric binding sites. This analysis captured all experimentally known allosteric sites and discovered networks of inter-connected and functionally relevant allosteric sites that are governed by variant-sensitive conformational adaptability of the SARS-CoV-2 spike structures. The results detailed how ACE2 binding and Omicron mutations in the BA.2, BA.2.75 and XBB.1 spike complexes modulate the distribution of conserved and druggable allosteric pockets harboring functionally important regions. The results are significant for understanding the functional roles of druggable cryptic pockets that can be used for allostery-mediated therapeutic intervention targeting conformational states of the Omicron variants.

Hereby, we report the new experimental data of plant biomass and biological productivity (net primary production, NPP) of wetland/peatland plant communities of oligotrophic bogs located on the same latitude, but at a distance of 1300 km west-east in the forest–steppe region of Western Siberia. The data were collected by implementing direct in situ measurements based on a unique methodology developed by authors. The study revealed that the values of net primary production (NPP) are basically constrained by the live fraction of plant biomass (or phytomass). It also revealed that the dead fraction of plant biomass (mortmass), along with the live fraction of biomass (phytomass) and net primary production (NPP), all major components of the carbon cycle, differ significantly at the two study sites. The values of dead biomass (mortmass), live biomass (phytomass) and net primary production (NPP) were found at significantly higher values in bog ecosystems studied in western regions than in those of the eastern regions.

Published: October 2023

For the construction of dam substations in coastal or mountainous areas, inclined soft soil foundations are very common. The unique engineering characteristics of inclined soft soil foundations can bring great difficulties to the construction of dam substations. In this paper, a pile foundation reinforcement dam slope model on an inclined soft soil foundation is established; the influence of different pile spacings, the pile length, and the soft soil foundation angle on the slope safety factor is studied; and the failure mechanism and stability of pile-supported dam slope foundation are analyzed. The research results indicate that pile foundation reinforcement can reduce the deformation of the dam slope foundation and improve stability. The pile layout has an important impact on stability, but a change in the pile spacing has little effect on the settlement surface at the bottom of the dam slope. The pile length has a significant impact on the safety of the slope within a certain range. The main stress area of the pile is 0–2 m above the pile, and its main deformation is the lateral deformation of the upper part of the pile. The research results of this article can provide parameter support and theoretical guidance for the construction of dam substations.

Published: October 2023

Numerous studies have examined the complex relationship between factors like embankment downspout spacing, height, slope, and rainfall characteristics in the quest to find the best spacing for embankment downspouts. Defining the correct spacing between road drainage elements is of utmost importance in minimizing water flow on roadways. This paper presents a methodology based on numerical methods for the design of road drainage systems using the Iber model. The objective of the work is to propose a tool and criteria for analyzing the hydraulic behavior of runoff on highways, determine the appropriate drainage behavior, and apply the methodology in a case study. This case study is based on a straight highway section with slopes up to 5%, according to Spanish road design regulations. Different dimensions are considered for the chute, drainage channel, collection nozzle, and downspout over the embankment. Tests are carried out to evaluate the separation between downspouts, the longitudinal slope, and the size of the nozzles. The results show the suitable hydraulic performance of the model, besides providing the absorption capacity of each downspout. The influence of the nozzle size, the slope, and the width of the causeway on the draughts and velocities is analyzed. The influence of downspout spacing and nozzle type on road drainage design is determined. In summary, this article presents a methodology and criteria for the design of road drainage systems and shows the results obtained in a case study using the Iber model. The results help in understanding the influence of different variables on the hydraulic behavior of road runoff and provide relevant information for proper drainage design.
Chemical Characterization and Genesis of Thermal Reservoir Water in the Southern Part of the Jizhong Depression

Published: October 2023

The Jizhong Depression is a typical Mesozoic and Cenozoic fault basin located in the northwestern part of the Bohai Bay Basin that has abundant hydrothermal and geothermal resources and enormous development potential. In this study, hydrochemical and isotopic analyses were conducted on water samples from the southern region of the Jizhong Depression. The formation and evolution processes of the deep geothermal water were analyzed, the circulation process of the deep geothermal water was determined, and the genetic mechanism of the geothermal systems was elucidated. The hydrochemical types of the geothermal fluids in the sandstone reservoirs in the research area are mainly Cl·HCO3−Na type, while the geothermal fluids in the carbonate reservoirs are mainly Cl-Na type and Cl·HCO3−Na type. The ion components in the geothermal water are mainly controlled by the dissolution of the carbonate rocks and the alternate adsorption of cations. The elevation of the geothermal water supply area is 763–1063 m, and the main source is precipitation from the mountainous areas in the western Taihang Mountains. The Na-K-Ca temperature scale and multi-mineral equilibrium method have relatively small errors and are suitable for the southern region of the Jizhong Depression, with average errors of 21.44 °C and 32.64 °C, respectively. The depth of the Jxw thermal storage cycle in the research area is 3033–5187 m, and the depth of the Ng thermal storage cycle is 1360–2862 m. The content of the main ions (Na+, K+, and Cl−) in the water samples of the study area is greater in the Jxw thermal storage than in the Ng thermal storage; the Jxw thermal storage water samples have lower γNa+/γCl− values than the Ng thermal storage; and the γSO42−/γCl− and γCl−/(γHCO3− + CO32−) values are greater than those of the Ng thermal storage, indicating that the Jxw thermal storage is located in a geological environment with better sealing, longer flow, slower water circulation, more complete leaching, and higher salinity than the Ng thermal storage. Part of the deep thermal storage is transmitted upwards through the rocks via thermal conduction, and part is transmitted upwards along fault channels via thermal convection, forming a convection–conduction-type geothermal system.
Azolla rubra R.Br. (Salviniaceae) on Rēkohu / Wharekauri / Chatham Island
Authors: de Lange Peter J. , Hitchon Tom
Published: October 2023

Azolla rubra (Salviniaceae) is reported from the Chatham Islands for the first time based on chance finds made in February and April 2023 from two lakes in the north-eastern portion of Rēkohu / Wharekauri / Chatham Island (hereafter Rēkohu). The biostatus of Azolla on the islands is reviewed and it is believed that plants are more likely to have arrived naturally via fragments bought to the islands by waterfowl from Aotearoa / New Zealand than by other means, so should be treated as indigenous. We advise that the impact of Azolla on the most sheltered, shallow, freshwater bodies of the islands should be monitored, as hitherto the islands waterbodies have been mostly devoid of free-floating aquatic plants.
Studying judges: the role of the Chief Justice, and other institutional actors
Authors: Appleby Gabrielle , Roberts Heather
Published: October 2023

The empirical study of judicial officers and the functioning of courts intersects with a number of judicial institutional values. Researchers will often, but not always, have legal qualifications, and most researchers of judicial officers will share a commitment to maintaining the institutional values of the Court but also have their own commitments to academic integrity and independence to maintain. In this article, we argue that the role of the Chief Justice, with its unique institutional leadership in relation to protecting and promoting judicial values, plays a number of different roles in relation to the study of judges more generally. We identify the roles of gatekeeper, provider of research, responder to research, and commissioner of research. We also identify other institutional actors that share institutional responsibility for these roles in some instances, including the the Attorney-General’s Department, the Australasian Institute of Judicial Administration (AIJA) and the Australian Judicial Officers Association (AJAO). Ultimately, we argue that the status, responsibility to the court, relational position, and access to information makes it inevitable and desirable that the Chief Justice perform this role, but that researchers should engage sensitively with the Chief Justice so as to protect values that might arise in tension.
La virtud cívica republicana en las sociedades contemporáneas
Authors:   , Fernández Pavlovich Marcelo
Published: October 2023

La presente tesis estudia tanto la vigencia del concepto de virtud cívica como sus posibilidades en las sociedades complejas contemporáneas. Para ello, es necesario llevar adelante un análisis crítico que contemple elementos históricos y políticos, relativos a la tradición de pensamiento que primordialmente ha puesto en consideración este concepto como una necesidad (la tradición republicana), que deben ir de la mano de la reflexión filosófica y ética. Esto llevará, forzosamente, al trabajo con las nociones de libertad e igualdad –en un sentido republicano–, así como deberán tenerse en cuenta qué concepciones de ciudadanía, democracia (también un diseño institucional) y educación irían en consonancia con la presencia de la virtud cívica en una sociedad de tipo republicano.

Published: October 2023

Objetivos: Abordar a utilização da ventilação não-invasiva em indivíduos com Covid-19. Aspectos metodológicos: O presente estudo se trata de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. Para elaborar o corpus da pesquisa, foi realizado consultas às bases de dados científicos na internet: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), MEDLINE e LILACS. Foram utilizados os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde: COVID-19; Pandemias; Ventilação não Invasiva. Para estruturar a amostra, foram utilizados como critérios de inclusão: artigos disponíveis na íntegra, com publicações nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, bem como manuais e cartilhas publicados pelo Ministério da Saúde, sendo o período de publicação da literatura de 2020 a 2022. Excluíram-se: resumos; artigos com resumo não disponíveis; publicações que se repetem nas bases de dados; teses, monografias e trabalhos de conclusão de curso. Resultados e discussões: É importante reconhecer que a eficácia da ventilação pode ser influenciada pela gravidade da doença. Pacientes com insuficiência respiratória moderada parecem ser os que mais se beneficiam dessa abordagem, enquanto aqueles com doença grave ainda podem necessitar de intubação precoce. Isso enfatiza a importância de uma avaliação clínica rigorosa para determinar quais pacientes são candidatos adequados para a VNI. Conclusão: Portanto, a utilização da ventilação não invasiva (VNI) em indivíduos com COVID-19 é um tema complexo e multifacetado que exige uma abordagem equilibrada e individualizada. A mesma pode ser uma ferramenta valiosa no manejo da insuficiência respiratória associada à COVID-19, especialmente em pacientes com insuficiência moderada e em cenários de recursos limitados, onde a intubação endotraqueal pode ser escassa.

There are still limitation in studies that highlight the development of instruments that can measure entrepreneurial creative thinking. Therefore, the Entrepreneurial Creative Thinking Test (ECTT) was developed to measure the level of entrepreneurial creative thinking among Form Four students in secondary schools. ECTT includes ten items consisting of five constructs namely Investigation, New Idea, Design, Create and Commercial. The sample consisted of 187 Form Four students aged 15 to 16 years from four secondary schools in Tawau, Sabah. A study conducted quantitatively using a survey design was conducted to determine the extent to which the validity and reliability of this instrument can meet the psychometric characteristics of a research. Item analysis allows valid, fair and quality items to be selected while otherwise are improved and refined. This study applied the Rasch Measurement Model to determine the validity and reliability of the ECTT instrument. Analysis has been done on respondent fit, item fit, item polarity, unidimensionality as well as reliability and item-respondent separation. The findings of the study found that the ECTT instrument has high item reliability with a value of .97. In conclusion, ECTT has good validity and high reliability in measuring the level of entrepreneurial creative thinking among Form Four students in secondary schools.

This study aimed at knowing the relationship between single parenting, particularly the level of involvement of single parents, and the academic performance of their children who are in high school level. The study employed a quantitative method, specifically a correlational design, and through purposive sampling, 42 Junior High School (JHS) respondents were surveyed in one of the diocese schools in Baguio-Benguet. The researchers used a survey questionnaire to gather data; all the information was statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Pearson correlation coefficient. Based on the findings, it was found that single parents had a high level of involvement in terms of giving words of wisdom or moral support but not in physical actions, particularly in attending school activities. However, the respondents showed good academic performances based on their satisfactory grades. Nevertheless, it was revealed that there was a weak negative correlation between single parenting and the academic performances of the respondents. Therefore, it is imperative to note that too much meddling by single parents with their children can lower their academic performances.

Published: October 2023

The Malaysian government has set up various incentives to help farmers,
including the Oil Palm Replanting (TSSPK) and New Planting Schemes
(TBSPK) for oil palm independent smallholders (OPISH) which were
implemented in 2011 under the 10th Malaysia Plan. It is an Entry Point Project
1 (EPP1) under the National Key Economic Area (NKEA) of oil palm
commodities. The schemes provided farmers with high-quality seedlings,
agricultural inputs such as fertilizers and chemicals, as well as a cash fund for
the preparation of land and planting of the seedlings. The farmers who
participated in the scheme were also given advisory services on various aspects
of the management of oil palm by the extension officers of MPOB (TUNAS).
A total of 400 participants were involved and responded to the survey, with the
proportion of respondents from Peninsular, Sabah, and Sarawak. The study
found that the average age of the participants is mostly above 59 years old
(37.3%) and 44.3% of the participants were owners of oil palm farms. The main
objectives of the study were to determine the current yields achieved by the
participants in the scheme and their compliance with the GAP guidelines. This
is a quantitative study, which applied the questionnaire approach in gathering data. It was found that 61.0% of farmers categorized as medium yield of FFB
production who produced 21.5 - 28.9 ton/ha/year with average income received
RM1500 - RM3000 per month, while 32.5% of farmers produced in a lower
category (< 21 ton/ha/year), and there were 6.5% farmers produced more than
29 ton/ha/year that was considered as the higher yield of FFB production. This
study also showed that most of the respondents complied with Good
Agriculture Practice (GAP) after joining the scheme. Participants responded
well to the services given by the TUNAS officers. Most of the participants were
satisfied with the implementation of the schemes and services provided by
TUNAS officers. As a recommendation, several improvements were
suggested, such as agriculture input distribution, clustering of the farmers into
cooperatives, and continuity of GAP implementation.

Ramy wojny: inwazja rosyjska na Ukrainie jako wydarzenie historyczne
Authors: Markowska-Marczak Barbara
Published: October 2023

Artykuł ma na celu opisanie zmian w polskim imaginarium historyczno-politycznym pod wpływem wybuchu wojny. Przedmiotem analizy ramowej (framing analysis) jest dyskurs prasowy pierwszych tygodni wojny (od 24 lutego do końca marca 2022): na korpus składają się teksty autorskie, zawierające szczegółową analizę sytuacji, refleksję nad sensem opisywanego wydarzenia, oraz odwołania do historii, obrazów przeszłości lub treści historycznych (wydarzenia, postaci). Cechą tych tekstów była podwójnie uhistoryczniona narracja: historią jest przedmiot opowieści jak sama opowieść wytwarzająca sens tego, co wspólnie przeżywamy. W wyniku przeprowadzonej analizy w artykule opisane są sposoby odwoływania się do przeszłości z perspektywy wewnętrznej (polskocentrycznej) oraz zewnętrznej (geopolitycznej) oraz opisane dwie podstawowe ramy, sposoby ujmowania wojny jako faktu historycznego: rama diachroniczna lokująca wydarzenie w kontekście szerszej narracji historycznej dziejów relacji pomiędzy imperium rosyjskim a zachodem, oraz rama synchroniczna: traktująca to wydarzenie jako moment uniwersalnej walki dobra ze złem.
Putler, Putinna i Śmierć
Authors: Łuba Arkadiusz
Published: October 2023

Wojna Rosji z Ukrainą znajduje odzwierciedlenie także w karykaturach politycznych. Każdy dowcip rysunkowy jest wypowiedzią polityczną i formą psychologicznego radzenia sobie z przemocą, lękiem i zagożeniem. Polscy karykaturzyści nawiązują do zbiorowej pamięci wojny i okupacji we własnym społeczeństwie. Zlewają Putina i Hitlera w jedno oraz czerpią z żywych tradycji, takich jak choćby wypędzanie zimy przez palenie i topienie słomianej lalki Marzanny. W tempore belli, a więc w czasach wojny, zmienia się ona w Putinnę. Ale cartoony europejskich twórców pokazują rosyjskiego prezydenta z różnych perspektyw. Tekst skupia się na karykaturze jednoobrazkowej i jej związkach z wydarzeniami świata rzeczywistego oraz przekładach tego świata na obraz i tekst. W kontekście tego, co i jako kto ukazywani są za jej pomocą Putin i Zełenski, autora interesują pytania, na jakich poziomach operują cartoony i plakaty polityczne, do jakich innych treści kultury się odwołują i wreszcie jakie funkcje polityczne, socjologiczne, psychologiczne i artystyczne pełnią. Na użytek tego tekstu autor prowadził badania nad ikonografią i ikonotekstem rosyjskiej wojny w Ukrainie w cartoonach i plakatach politycznych, które ukazały się od momentu wybuchu wojny do połowy kwietnia.

Published: October 2023

This study, which is a contribution to national health surveillance of pathogens, was conducted to determine the prevalence of pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae in the market garden environment of Abidjan. To this end, samples of lettuce, irrigation water, manure and soil were taken from three (03) major market gardening sites in Abidjan. Microbiological analyses of these samples were carried out. The enterobacteria obtained after isolation were identified. The results revealed ten (10) bacterial genera belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family, including 15 bacterial species in the samples of lettuce, irrigation water, manure and soil analysed. These included Salmonella enterica with serotypes (Salmonella Gallinarum, Salmonella Arizonae, Salmonella Choleraesus), Salmonella spp, Escherichia coli, Shigella boydii, Shigella sonnei, Enterobacter cloacae, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterobacter gergoviae, Enterobacter agglomerans, Serratia marcesens, Serratia phymutica, Afnia alvei, Citrobacter freuidii Citrobacter diversus, Providencia alcalifasciens, Proteus vulgaris and Yersinia spp. The presence of these pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae indicates a potential risk associated with the consumption of lettuce produced in Abidjan. The Ivorian authorities should take preventive measures, such as educating market gardeners about the harmful effects of contaminated water used to irrigate vegetables, and the use of animal droppings as fertiliser to fertilise the soil, to avoid the future proliferation of infectious diseases such as typhoid fever and bacillary dysentery among the population of Abidjan.

Published: October 2023

Ileal tumors, and more specifically ileal adenocarcinomas, are exceedingly rare occurrences in clinical practice. In this article, we present a unique case involving a 56-year-old patient diagnosed with ileal adenocarcinoma, a malignancy originating in the ileum. This comprehensive case study explores various facets of this uncommon tumor, including clinical presentation, radiological findings, histopathological insights, and initial management strategies. The patient, previously healthy with no gastrointestinal issues, sought medical attention for severe abdominal pain localized to the right lower quadrant. Medical imaging revealed a substantial tumor mass with complex characteristics, while colonoscopy confirmed the presence of an ulcerated and necrotic mass in the terminal ileum. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of ileal adenocarcinoma.

Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the peak power and relative peak power output between raiders and defenders in professional kabaddi players using the counter movement jump test. Method: A total of 16 professional male kabaddi players, evenly split into 8 raiders, and 8 defenders with an average kabaddi experience of 6 years (aged 22.5 ± 3.1 years, height 175.1 ± 6.3cm and weight 78.7 ± 0.5kg) participated in this study. A counter movement jump test on a force platform was performed to determine their power output values along with their whole-body composition analysis. All players have played in national, international, or pro league competitions. During their 8-week pre-season camp in September–October 2022, these athletes trained and were tested at Inspire Institute of Sport in Bellary, India. Results: The results indicated that there is no significant difference in peak power output with respect to a Kabaddi player’s playing position or training age. But a significant positive correlation (p=0.039) was established between lean body mass and relative peak power output. Conclusion: The current study suggests that peak power production from the countermovement leap test may be a good way to measure explosive leg power in kabaddi athletes. Kabaddi raiders and defenders have similar vertical jump height, peak power, and relative peak power. Years of kabaddi experience did not affect countermovement jump test variables. According to the study, all kabaddi players have similar physiological demands.

Background: Relationship between obesity and hypertension is well established and hypertension shows positive relationship with all obesity indices. Objective: To determine the obesity indicator with the greatest sensitivity in predicting hypertension. Method: A cross-sectional community-based descriptive survey was carried out in Enugu Metropolis. Multistage sampling procedures were used to select participants using the World Health Organization STEPS instrument. Height, weight, waist circumference; hip circumference and blood pressure were measured and recorded. Results: A total of 482 participants were recruited; of which 160 (33.2%) and 322 (66.8%) were males and females respectively. 89 (18.5%) participants have high systolic blood pressure, 117(24.3%) have high diastolic blood pressure, while the overall hypertension prevalence is seen in 123 participants (25.5%). The blood pressure was noticed to increase as obesity increases regardless of the index of obesity used and that at WHR≥1 all the 15 participants (M:8, F:7m) that crossed that threshold were hypertensive regardless of age and sex demonstrating the sensitivity of WHR in predicting hypertension and associated cardiometabolic risks. Conclusion: obesity and hypertension are interrelated and common in our environment, all the indices of obesity show positive correlation with hypertension but WHR offers a simple index that can be used to detect occult hypertension in our clinics due its 100% correlation at the WHR threshold of ≥1.
An Evaluation of the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Socio-Economic Human Rights: A Discourse on Automation and Job Loss

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already here, and is speedily transforming industries. This paper examines the impact of AI on the socio-political rights of the people globally, particularly in the area of job loss. Automation is not a new concept. It can be traced to the introduction of machines into industries back in the Second and Third Industrial Revolutions. However, the automation introduced by artificial intelligence is of a higher level. Artificial Intelligence is taking risks for humans in the manufacturing industry, mining industry, and even in the Military. It is versatile, that is, it is capable of being used in every sector of the world, and with the rate of technological unemployment, (caused by automation), the significance of Artificial Intelligence has become subject to controversy. This research adopts a desk based doctrinal research methodology to examine the issue of socio-economic human rights in era of automation. This research discovers that AI will create jobs, but an analysis of research studies on job loss due to automation reveals the large margin between jobs created by AI and jobs lost due to AI, thus posing threats to socio-economic human rights. It also discovers that the jobs created by AI require only persons with technical skills and knowledge for employment in the nearest future. AI will cause deskilling and falling wages. This research work recommends that legislations must be put in place to ensure that the use of AI technologies are controlled in order to give the government enough time to balance the inequality created by AI technologies. Technical skills acquisition and robot tax can be adopted by nations to enable them cope with the speed of AI.

Mothers during lactation may encounter barriers including the need of medication intake due to a chronic or acute illness, which may affect mainly the duration of breastfeeding. In these cases, the issue of medication safety during lactation arises and maternal decisions usually depend on professional counseling. Providing scientifically valid information on the benefits of breastfeeding and the risk of exposure of the newborn/infant to medicines through breast milk is a responsibility of healthcare professionals. Reliable sources on the compatibility of medicines with breastfeeding vary and the information among them is conflicting or even insufficient, creating as a consequence difficulty for healthcare professionals to provide counseling. Given the fact that breastfeeding mothers are excluded from clinical trials as they are considered a vulnerable population, the scientific community has turned to alternative methods based on pharmacokinetic population modeling for medication safety during lactation. In addition, through pharmacovigilance science, databases related to drug compatibility with breastfeeding can be enriched with new data. Undoubtedly, the contribution of midwives and other healthcare professionals involved in breastfeeding plays a key role in the pharmacovigilance process through the observation and reporting of side effects. In the Greek national healthcare system, telephone helplines have been established to provide information on medication safety during lactation. Finally, information is provided on the guiding principles for midwives and other healthcare professionals regarding medication safety in breastfeeding mothers. The ultimate goal is to support and prolong breastfeeding with evidence-based knowledge.

Advantages and disadvantages of laparoscopic procedures in relation to the open method in pediatric surgery
Authors: Sobczak Jarosław , Przewratil Przemysław , Sikora Janusz Piotr
Published: October 2023

There are many studies which present advantages and disadvantages of the use of both minimally invasive and open method procedures in pediatric sur¬gery. This paper highlights the advantages of minimally invasive surgery and the resulting conclusions for use in clinical practice (e.g. the use of laparoscopy in children is associated with significantly less postoperative stress). The disadvantages of the described surgical techniques and other possible complica¬tions observed after the use of laparoscopic techniques and the open method are also presented. It was emphasized that surgical trauma, regardless of the surgical method used, causes not only a post-traumatic immune-inflammatory response of the body, but is often associated with the risk of developing infections (local or generalized) and the occurrence of recurrences. The study focuses on summarizing the current state of knowledge on minimally invasive pediatric surgery, in particular on the effectiveness of laparoscopic appendectomy, laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair and laparoscopic procedures used in pediatric oncology, taking into account postoperative immune response disorders. Moreover, progress was analyzed in the use of minimally invasive robotic surgery, which becomes an increasingly common method of treatment of many typical surgical diseases in children.
