Chronic diseases are quite prevalent and are associated with grave repercussions and considerable target organ dysfunction. Providing such patients with high-quality care can significantly lower their morbidity and mortality risk. Early disease detection, frequently when the patients are generally asymptomatic, is necessary for the provision of proper care that could reduce the chances of hazardous consequences and complications. The arrangement of care delivery with continuity of care has been shown to provide many health benefits. Numerous beneficial health outcomes have been linked to the continuity of care way of structuring the delivery of care. Continuity of care is defined as the process by which the patient and his or her physician care team work together to manage their ongoing medical care in order to achieve the shared purpose of high-quality, affordable healthcare. Additionally, continuity of care is associated with increased follow-up appointment compliance, more frequent cancer screenings, prevention programs usage, fewer emergency room visits, less hospital admissions, among various others. The continuity of care is influenced by a variety of factors, including equity and effectiveness as well as the quality of care throughout time. Research studies have shown that greater treatment continuity is associated with better mental health, a greater sense of satisfaction, and a higher quality of life. Although, the overuse of medical resources, especially through the provision of unnecessary services, is associated with poor continuity of care. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about the effect of continuity of care on chronic diseases.

Many potential causes of root fracture have been put forth over the decades, such as theories that the fracture might begin with dentinal microcracks (DM) brought on by dentinal dehydration, post-insertion corrosion, spreader form, or strong movements utilized while filling processes. In the recent times, scientists have found that a sizable proportion of preexisting dentinal defects on the roots to be present. These problems are though too likely to be brought on by high extraction pressures and/or the way the teeth were stored. The limits of the standard methodologies are undoubtedly vulnerable to systematic analytical inaccuracies, making them far from an optimal experimental model, according to scientific rationale underlying this ambiguous scenario. It has also been shown that dentin moisture affects the biomechanical response of radicular dentin to root canal preparation, specimen storage circumstances are another issue with investigations on dentinal microcracks development. Instrumenting with manual, reciprocating, or rotary NiTi tools does not produce remnant microstrain accumulation in hydrated roots.

Authors: Sulaiman Alhumaidan Ghadeer , Mohammed Alghamdi Ahmed
Published: February 2023

The English language plays a vital role in tourism, particularly in hospitality and hotel management. As a result, there is a need to investigate the English language requirements of this industry and train employees who can perform well both professionally and competently. This prompted us to investigate one of the Hospitality and Hotel Management (HHM) programs at King Abdulaziz University's (KAU) College of Tourism. This program is responsible for training graduate students who will work in the HHM sector. As a result, the researcher's aims in this study are to investigate the English language needs of Hospitality and Hotel Management program, and to introduce Agile English for Specific Purposes (AESP) as a new approach to teaching English in the field of English for Specific purposes. This research used a mixed-method approach to gather quantitative and qualitative data through a questionnaire, interviews and book evaluation. The study sample consisted of fifteen graduate and undergraduate students, five teachers from the HHM program at the same faculty, and six employees from different HHM sectors. According to the findings of this study, speaking was the most needed skill, as well as the way the current HHM program did not meet the English needs of the students. Moreover, this study presented AESP as a solution that combined all of the required needs into one.
From Curriculum Design to Program Implementation: Filling in the Gaps
Authors: Maynes Nancy , Hatt Blaine E. , Straub Jennifer
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this paper has been to reflect on the design and implementation of the four-term ETEP teacher education program that was introduced in Faculties of Education across Ontario in 2017 to reflect the legislation that mandated a longer teacher preparation experience through Ontario Regulation 347/02 (as revised Dec. 1, 2014 - Aug. 31, 2015). Predictably each program across the province proceeded with different program structures within the mandated framework, addressed special features of their program differently, and incorporated different features into the resulting program. In this paper, we explore how rushed implementation resulted in gaps in design and implementation of a program; we examined these gaps and circumstances that led to them in the context of historical labour disruption, and structural changes in the management of the university. These gaps are attributed to a variety of factors. The major contribution of this paper includes a series of models for curriculum design and implementation specific to the design of the ETEP, but useful for curriculum design and implementation in any context. We propose that opportunities to re-engage in the program design process in a fulsome, visionary way to take advantage of the input we have had from faculty, teacher candidates, and associate teachers over the first years of the new approach to teacher certification in the province should be considered.

In this research, the treatability of slaughterhouse wastewater was investigated by using the electrochemical method with Mg electrodes. The influence of the variables such as initial pH (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9), current density (15, 30, and 45 mA/cm2), and reaction time (20, 25, and 30 min) on the removal efficiency of ammonium and phosphate was studied. The highest phosphate removal efficiency was reached at 100% after 20 min of electrochemical treatment with 30 mA/cm2 of current density and initial pH 6. Meanwhile, the maximum removal percent of ammonium was approximately 52%. Thus, this method is feasible to apply for the removal of phosphate and ammonium in slaughterhouse wastewater.

Atonement Anticipated: Paul’s Use of Genesis 22 in Romans 8
Authors: Meyer James David
Published: February 2023

It is commonly held that Paul’s atonement theology evinces the influence of the “Akedah” tradition in Judaism, a historical accretion based on Gen 22 affirming that Isaac was actually sacrificed and was a uniquely efficacious atoning sacrifice for the sin of Israel. One of the Pauline passages commonly supposed to exhibit this influence is Rom 8:32. Yet further examination of the documents espousing the Akedah tradition casts doubt on the plausibility of this supposed influence. It is unlikely that this tradition was formed when Paul was writing. Nevertheless, a preoccupation with the Akedah has dominated exegetical debates about Rom 8:32 and why Paul may allude to Gen 22 when he proclaims God gave up his son for us. Therefore, this curious reference needs a more plausible interpretation. This article aims to supply that by showing that Paul uses Gen 22 to illustrate the means, and the necessity, of atonement.
Heaven’s My Destination: Thornton Wilder, Artifice, and Camp
Authors: Vowels Grace
Published: February 2023

Recent applications of queer theory have led to innovative insights in Wilder studies. Currently underexplored in this area is Wilder’s 1934 novel Heaven’s My Destination, which is conducive to a queer reading, one that analyzes the Camp characteristics of flamboyance and exaggeration in the main character of George Brush. This article evaluates Wilder’s novel for qualities of the Camp aesthetic and utilizes various Camp and queer theories to produce a reading of Heaven’s My Destination that positions the work as a Camp text of novelistic farce. Based on this reading, the article demonstrates how one may interpret George Brush as a Camp character constructed to highlight the artifice and theatricality of heterosexuality and masculinity in early twentieth-century America.
A Comparison of Three Popular Routing Policies for Lift-truck Order Picking
Authors: Brazhkin Vitaly , Rose William J.
Published: February 2023

This study addresses order-picking routing optimization in a wide aisle of a mechanized warehouse. Efficiencies of the three popular heuristic policies (return, traversal, and Z-pick) are compared for different pick densities. A modified Z-pick policy with a flexible string length is proposed to increase its efficiency and accommodate lift-truck movement. The simulation-based results show that all three policies are not significantly different in the pick density region of 10–15 percent. The traversal policy performs better at pick densities below the region of indifference, while the return policy outperforms the others at higher pick densities. However, the Z-pick provides a viable universal alternative across all tested pick densities.

Introduction: A small proportion of patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) become critically ill. Individuals’ blood group may influence their susceptibility to infection. However, the relationship between blood groups and clinical outcomes in severe Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is not well established. Therefore, we conducted a study to investigate the association between blood groups and clinical outcomes in critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed electronic health records of COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) at Hazm Mebaireek General Hospital, Qatar, from March 7th, 2020, to July 15th, 2020. The study population was divided based on their blood groups into types A, B, AB, O, Rhesus (Rh)-positive, and Rh-negative. The primary outcome studied in each blood group was all-cause ICU mortality. Secondary outcomes evaluated were the requirement and duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU days, hospitalization days, and C-reactive protein (CRP) value on admission.

Results: Eight hundred forty-eight patients were admitted to ICUs with severe COVID-19 during the study period. All-cause ICU mortality in the study population was 19.8% (168/848), and that in individuals with blood groups A, B, AB, O, Rh-positive, and Rh-negative was 22.6% (52/230), 18.1% (44/243), 22% (18/82), 18.4% (54/293), 20.4% (165/810), and 7.9% (3/38). Although the highest mortality was noted in blood group A, followed by AB, these observations failed to achieve statistical significance. Rh-negative blood type had lower odds of death compared to the Rh-positive one (odds ratio = 0.27; 95% confidence interval 0.08–0.99, P = 0.049). None of the blood groups showed an association with the need for mechanical ventilation, duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of ICU and hospital stay, and CRP value on admission.

Conclusion: This study revealed no association between ABO blood groups and unfavorable clinical outcomes in critically ill COVID-19 patients. The Rh-negative blood type was associated with slightly lower odds of death compared to the Rh-positive one.
Co-immunity. An Ontological Political Paradigm
Authors:   Department of Legal Sciences, Università degli Studi di Salerno – Fisciano (SA), Galasso Gian Marco
Published: February 2023

The aim of this article is, based on Jacques Derrida’s and Roberto Esposito’s reflection, to articulate a philosophical paradigm that would be able to face with what I propose to call the autoimmunitarian logic of nihilism. Dealing with this logic means, first and foremost, to face “the negative” that runs through our experience without rejecting or absolutizing it. It means to think the relation between life and politics, society and institutions not in a merely oppositive way but rather in a constructive and affirmative manner. Even if in many of his works Esposito criticizes Derrida precisely for his conception of autoimmunity, in this article, I intend to show that both the philosophers orient their analyses towards what I consider the most appropriate ontological political paradigm for reading the actual political events – what they both call “co-immunity”. In the first section, I establish some methodological coordinates useful to define the approach I consider the most appropriate for the purposes of this research, namely political ontology. In section two, from a diagnostic point of view, I analyse the autoimmunitarian logic of nihilism. To investigate this logic, I firstly concentrate on Esposito’s definition of nihilism, and then I refer to his analyses of the relation between community and immunity. In the third section, with the intention of taking a closer look at the political aspects of the question, I focus on the Derridean analysis of the aporias that are inherent in the very concept of democracy. In the last section, I briefly try to test the heuristic capacity of the co-immunity paradigm with respect to the biopolitical problems arising from the management of the pandemic crisis caused by COVID-19 (and discussed in the field of the Italian biopolitical debate).
Cognitive aging and combined interventions: self-efficiency as a device to improve brain function
Authors: Assunção João Lucas Araujo , Chariglione Isabelle Patriciá Freitas Soares
Published: February 2023

Cerebral neurodegeneration may be associated with functional changes, being able to generate cognitive decline, a decrease in the skills that make up brain function. The main objective of this study is to evaluate how self-efficacy belief, personal development and mood states are related to neurocognitive aging. The present study is based on the quasi-experimental and longitudinal development model. The study sample consisted of 33 elderly people with a mean age of 71 years (SD = ± 6.32), spaced from 61 to 89 years of age. Six instruments were applied for data collection, namely: Sociodemographic Data Sheet, Addenbrooke Cognitive Examination, Personal Development Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale - Revised Version, Geriatrics Depression Scale and Beck Anxiety Scale. Statistical normality tests were used at a significance level of 5% (p ≤ 0.05). Regarding the results, the sample is statistically significant in relation to four variables, namely: memory (p = 0.00), verbal fluency (p = 0.00), cognition (p = 0.00) and self-efficacy (p = 0.00); moreover, from the difference between groups related to cognitive interventions (Stimullus + MEMO), based on the self-efficacy construct, for example, it is possible to notice that the self-efficacy variable (p = 0.03) manifests statistical significance. It is concluded that the sense of perceived efficacy can be used as a device to mediate neurocognitive gains, being able to improve brain function, supported by combined interventions.

Neoechinorhyncus buttnerae is among the main causative agents of diseases in tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) and has caused great losses in fish farming. Although important, there is still no effective treatment protocol for acanthocephalosis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro anthelmintic activity of Chenopodium ambrosioides (mastruz) in the control of Neoechinorhyncus buttnerae. Parasites were collected from the intestine of naturally infected animals and randomly distributed in Petri dishes containing the following treatments in triplicate and standardized in 5 mL of RPMI1640 medium: TR1 (RPMI+spray-dried extract of mastruz 10%); TR2 (RPMI+spray-dried extract 5%); positive control (RPMI+levamisole 15 mg/mL); negative control (RPMI). The parasites were kept at room temperature and observed every 15 min, and were considered dead when they remained motionless even after external stimuli. Body deformities were observed in parasites after exposure to treatments (TR1 and TR2), and both treatments with spray-dried extract of mastruz were effective in controlling acanthocephalans in the first 15 min of the experiment. Therefore, mastruz has been shown to be an effective alternative for the control of N. buttnerae and has the potential for continuing in vivo studies with the aim of developing a therapeutic protocol.

Published: February 2023

A pesquisa analisa indicadores específicos com o objetivo de compreender se a pandemia pode ter interferido nos resultados financeiros das três principais empresas exportadoras de carne bovina do país, que somam mais da metade das exportações da commodity. As empresas são apresentadas junto ao mercado, tratando a pandemia do Covid-19 como um recorte temporal extremamente atípico, que revelou dados que criam um alerta para o contexto pandêmico e algumas das possíveis consequências que viriam a ocorrer dentro deste recorte que se inicia no ano de 2020 no Brasil. O ponto de partida das análises é o ano de 2018, antes da chegada do vírus, estendendo-se até o ano de 2022. Os indicadores selecionados contemplam a proposta avaliando a dívida das empresas, a liquidez e o EBITDA. A análise dos gráficos, amparada por uma noção de que toda a cadeia sofreu um aumento de preços, partindo dos fornecedores e se estendendo até a logística de exportação do produto e alinhada ao fato da alta histórica no preço da arroba do boi gordo, permitem concluir que seria precipitado afirmar que a pandemia interferiu positiva ou negativamente no resultado das empresas, mas que em algum nível, pode sim ter expresso um aumento positivo para estes players a medida que não absorveu a alta da cadeia, mas repassou ao preço final.
Interacionismo simbólico e imagético social: o cenário das políticas de gêneros para jovens e idosos da comunidade LGBTQIAP+
Authors: Pereira Pordeus Marcel , Dos Santos Kátia Paulino , Santaella Gonçalves Rodrigo
Published: February 2023

Este artigo intenta averiguar a conjuntura do interacionismo simbólico, a fim de compreender o imagético social construído em termos de gênero e seu atravessamento no universo de jovens e idosos LGBTQIAP+. Tal pressuposto constitui o iceberg dos desafios encontrados na formação político-cidadã desse público. Nesse viés, a ideologia e cultura se situam como premissas que fomentam a formação desse imagético social, atravessado pelos mecanismos do interacionismo simbólico. Assim, esse estudo analisa o histórico e contexto de políticas culturais, com recorte no gênero; quais as razões para a sua exclusão e não consecução, bem como manifestação da influência do imagético social na situação cultural, que tem como difusores a cultura, a ideologia e a compreensão do gênero na cultura. Nesse contexto, observam-se os significados associados e o seu potencial na formulação político-cidadã de jovens e idosos da comunidade LGBTQIAP+.
United Nations and Collective Agreements on Global Security: Issues and Perspectives
Authors: Kanu Donald , Oseni Tunde
Published: February 2023

Owing to the growing threats of pandemics like the Corona Virus (COVID-19) among other emerging infectious diseases, terrorism, genocide, human trafficking, and the proliferation of small arms and light weapons among others, the study assessed the United Nations (UN) on the collective agreement in maintaining global peace and stability. In achieving these, the study adopted the descriptive research design and derived relevant data through the use of semi-structured interviews with respondents randomly chosen from the five permanent member states of the UN Security Council (UNSC). The system theory was employed to provide a clear understanding of the subject matter and the need for institution and collectiveness in the management and sustainability of world peace. However, findings revealed that a restructured UNSC is necessary to give room for a more responsive and all-inclusive organization. This brings to the fore the importance of collective agreements in a multilateral world to collectively and efficiently tackle the contemporary threats to world peace and stability.

Authors: Agricola Nestor Persio Alvim
Published: February 2023

Atividades físicas diferentes determinam as medidas corporais de seus praticantes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar as medidas antropométricas entre praticantes de diferentes tipos de exercício físico. A amostra foi composta de 60 mulheres praticantes de atividades físicas recrutadas em algumas academias de Jataí GO. Foram mensuradas diferentes medidas antropométricas (peso, altura, índice de massa corpórea, circunferência da cintura, entre outros). Os dados numéricos foram dispostos em tabelas e receberam tratamento estatístico. O que se observa é que os grupos de exercícios rítmicos e de exercícios resistidos não diferem muito um do outro, há uma semelhança entre os dois grupos, isto é, nem as praticantes de exercício rítmico tem menos gordura corporal e nem as praticantes de exercício resistidos tem maior massa muscular. Conclusões acerca desses resultados se tornam difíceis, visto que não foi possível o controle de intensidade e nem de frequência dessas mulheres aos treinamentos. Sugere-se a continuidade de estudos semelhantes.
Carefully Considered? Paolo Bacigalupi'sThe Windup Girl(2009) and Embodied Representation
Authors: DeTora Lisa
Published: February 2023

Paolo Bacigalupi's NebulaAward–Winning The Windup Girl (2009) has been praised as an exciting new approach to ecofiction, but it also contains problematic representations of gender and race that can be traced to the origins of science fiction as a literary genre. The emergence of science fiction also occurred alongside a tendency to assign a uniform Italian ethnicity to immigrant groups regardless of their own self-identification. This article uses Bacigalupi's novel to consider how unfortunate legacies of colonialism and sexual violence from the earliest science fictions can create a troublesome backdrop for newer works that deal with critical social and political problems. A new means of representing personal identities might enable the development of an Italian American speculative fiction that could prevent future harms and recuperate past experiences of inequity.

Behavioral Intention Towards Online Food Purchasing After the Social Distancing Period of Covid-19 in Danang City, Vietnam
Authors: Le Thi Minh Hang , Le Viet Tuan
Published: February 2023

Social distancing due to Covid-19 exposes consumers to abnormal situations and forces them to passively change their buying behaviors, leading to partly shifting to online shopping channel choices. This study was conducted right in the social distancing period in Danang City, from August 20th to September 15th, 2020. By developing a conceptual framework integrating predicting intentions models TAM, TRA, TPB with VAB model (Homer and Kahle, 1988), and Perceived Risks, this study recognizes an ongoing trend in online purchasing of Vietnam consumers during- and post-Covid 19. Together with a witnessed upward trend in online food purchasing behaviors during the social distancing period, online markets also anticipate a positive growth of buying intentions after social distancing. These behavioral intentions are affected not only by the original anchors from TAM, TRA, TPB models but also by personal values and perceived risks.

Introduction. Malformations and diseases of the pancreas are associated with the risk of complications. Interventional endoscopy is one of the ways to solve this problem.Material and methods. 24 patients (3–17 y.o.) were included in the study. 36 interventional endoscopic interventions were performed. Results. Transpapillary interventions were performed in 10 patients, all of them had anomalies of the ductal system. Stenosis of the distal pancreatic ducts was detected in 3 cases, in which stenting of the Wirsung duct was performed. Virsungolithiasis was confirmed in 3 cases, in which an anomaly of the ducts in the form of an incomplete split gland was detected in 2 patients. Pancreas divisum was detected in 1 patient, which required sphincterotomy of the minor duodenal papilla. Transmural interventions were performed in 13 cases: puncture – in 7 patients with intra- or parapancreatic cystic formations; drainage – in 6 patients with pancreatic pseudocysts. One child with traumatic rupture of the pancreas had a combined intervention (transpapillary and transmural). Discussion. The etiology of pancreatitis in children is associated with developmental anomalies and genetic factors. The leading pathogenetic factor in the development of complications is hypertension in the ducts of the gland. Traditional surgical interventions for pancreatitis are often traumatic and are accompanied by a high risk of complications. The introduction of minimally invasive techniques, such as interventional endoscopy, can solve the problem in some diseases of the pancreas.Conclusion. Transpapillary interventions can effectively eliminate hypertension in the pancreatic ducts in case of their dilatation and virsungolithiasis. Transmural interventions can be used to clarify the etiology of pancreatic cysts, as well as to drain pancreatic pseudocysts.
Implementing Strategic Orientations in SMEs: The role of CEO’s Market Orientation
Authors: Diao Maguette Teuw , Doucoure Balla
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of a CEO’s market orientation on the strategic orientations of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). A survey was conducted and data were collected from a sample of 175 Senegalese SMEs. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling in STATA. The results show that some dimensions of a CEO’s market orientation positively influence SMEs’ strategic orientations. The findings imply that CEOs must individually exhibit market-oriented behaviors to encourage the development of strategic orientations in their SME. This study contributes to the development of the literature on individual market orientation by revealing that the CEO’s market orientation constitutes a key factor for the strategic orientation in SMEs
Non-Linear Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Frame Structure with Vertical Irregularities

Published: February 2023

Various structural factors that contribute to damage during an earthquake are vertical irregularities, irregularities in strength and stiffness, mass irregularities, torsional irregularities, and so on. Over the past decade, performance-based design (PBD) procedures have become one of the most critical areas in earthquake engineering. The pushover procedure is divided into two parts; the first is the displacement target for the erected building. The target is the estimated displacement of the top of the building when exposed to the design earthquake excitation. Then a pushover analysis is carried out on the building until the top removal is equal to the target displacement. Second is the type of controlled force in which the total amount of force acting is estimated and applied to the structure, and analysis is carried out. The various performance levels for a building are expressed in terms of the base shear carried versus the roof displacement. If all the plastic hinges formed are within the CP limit, the structure is said to be safe. On the other hand, if the plastic hinge formed exceeds the CP limit, the structure is said to have collapsed. This paper proposes a 2D reinforced concrete frame with three models with variations of vertical irregularity. This paper aims to see the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete frames with vertical irregularities through the pushover method using SAP2000 software. Furthermore, the analysis results show that the skeleton is susceptible to increasing vertical irregularity. As the vertical irregularity increases, the percentage of the plastic hinge crossing the boundary increases. The analysis results also show that model 2 has better behavior.

Published: February 2023

In this study, a smart attendance system was created using computer vision techniques embedded in the Raspberry Pi device. The initial process is carried out by recording students taking certain courses and taking facial images for the needs of the system database. In the next stage, the system will be regulated according to the time of lecture entry to determine which students will attend the lecture. Every student who wants to enter the classroom is identified by taking facial images with a camera from the Raspberry Pi device to identify and determine the time students enter to attend lectures. Each image taken will be processed to detect the presence of a face using the Viola-Jones method and to extract features using the LBP method to obtain the feature value of each image. The results obtained will be stored in the system for the facial recognition process. The final stage of the system being built is to perform face recognition according to the initial image to carry out the attendance process. This process will be carried out using the normalized cross-correlation (NCC) technique, in which the highest feature similarity obtained between the initial image and the newly captured image is the result of recognition by the system. From the trials that have been carried out, the developed system gives good results in obtaining attendance management in a fairly efficient manner, and the algorithm proposed for facial recognition obtains good results with an accuracy rate of 97.54%.
