Strategic environmental leverage of a sport tourism event: Approaching the global challenge locally
Authors: Martins Rute , Pereira Elsa , Mascarenhas Margarida
Published: April 2024

The proactivity in the management of sport events is essential to maximise environmental benefits for the host communities through strategic leverage. Therefore, this study aimed to understand the process of strategic environmental leverage in an international nature-based non-mega event of sport tourism (Sintra PRO 2022 - stage of the IBC World Bodyboarding Tour) by means of action research. Data collection combined several methods and sources, namely, document research, nominal group sessions, field observation, and interviews conducted with organisers and partners of the event. Three actions, which synergistically linked the environmental values of community projects and the sport subculture, were implemented in order to focus stakeholders' attention on the environmental topics. The availability of local resources and the involvement of the network of local partners facilitated the implementation of environmental leverage. On the other hand, the lack of communication between those involved in the operationalisation and promotion of environmental leverage actions was a constraint in the process. This study highlights several implications for environmental leverage in sport events, as well as for the applicability of the environmental leverage model to promote strategic planning and the implementation of the resulting strategic environmental leverage actions in sport events.
Uncertain Blackness: The Mysterious Case of Joseph Stadler
Authors: Dyreson Mark
Published: April 2024

Historians have identified George Coleman Poage as the first African American Olympian. Poage won two bronze medals in the hurdles at the 1904 St. Louis Olympics. In that same year, the name of another potential Black Olympian, Joseph Stadler, appeared briefly in a few newspaper stories previewing the games. Stadler clearly competed in St. Louis, winning a silver medal and bronze medal in the now-archaic forms of standing jumps. Whether he should join Poage on the roster of pioneering African American Olympians, however, remains a mystery among Olympic researchers—as does his racial identity. Analyzing the historical record regarding these claims and employing new information from census data and other public records reveals that Stadler was most likely white. His “misidentification,” however, reveals more than just a trivial episode about an inaccurate reading of racial identity from limited sources. The long history of narratives about Joseph Stadler's identity reveals important patterns about the social construction of race, illuminates the complexities of more than a century of seeking to depict the Olympics as a fulcrum of racial progress in American culture, and showcases the dangers of attempting to read “race” from historic photographs.

Bible Translation as Justice
Authors: Kenmogne Michel
Published: April 2024

The translation of the Bible into minority languages has the potential to affirm the dignity and worth of translating communities as people created in the image of God (imago dei). For my own people—the Ghomala’ of Cameroon—the use of the mother tongue was crucial for local acceptance of Christianity and identification as children of God. This article shows how biblical concepts of justice as both primary and restorative relate to the mission of God and the imago dei of all human beings. BIBLE TRANSLATION AS JUSTICE regards Bible translation as not just a pragmatic tool, but a fundamental issue of justice that enables people to have a right relationship with God and others. Minority language communities around the world bear witness to the potential for Bible translation to empower, transform, and contribute to a sense of value and confidence. As a result, Bible translation is not only a key to human flourishing but for Christians a way of following Jesus in his incarnation.
Short Note: Translating the Additive גַּם Gam in 1 Samuel 22:7

Published: April 2024

Most English versions do not translate the additive gam in 1 Samuel 22:7. This article argues that Spanish versions such as the Reina- Valera revision of 1995 are correct in translating it también (‘also’) to indicate a parallel between ‘all of you’ (men of Benjamin) and the men with David.
Impacts of the US-China Trade Tension and RCEP on Vietnam-China Trade Balance
Authors: Tu Thuy Anh , Chu Thi Mai Phuong , Truong Thi Lan Huong
Published: April 2024

The paper aims to analyze the trade balance between Vietnam and China and assess the impact of its key determinants, with a focus on the US-China trade war, using the autoregressive distributed lag model for quarterly data from Q1 2009 to Q4 2022. The statistical analysis shows that although Vietnam's trade balance with China shows increasing deficits, the US-China trade war has a positive impact on Vietnam as its export-import ratio with China increases in both the long and short run. We also find that the impact of participation in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is positive but not statistically significant. We also find evidence that several factors have a positive and significant impact on the trade balance, including Vietnam's growth rate, Vietnam's industrial production index, and China's population. On the other hand, some factors, such as the exchange rate between Chinese yuan and Vietnamese dong and the population of Vietnam, are found to have a significant negative impact. These findings can provide evidence to help Vietnamese businesses and policymakers formulate trade policies with China, especially in the current complex geopolitical context.
RNA-Seq analysis reveals the mechanism in response to cold stress of peach cv ‘Dingjiaba’
Authors: Li Xiaolan , Wang Hong , Wu Xinquan
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND:‘Dingjiaba’ is an important Prunus persica cultivar (cv) mainly grown in the Hexi corridor in northwest China, which has an inherited strong cold tolerance.OBJECTIVE:To compare the transcriptome and physiology data of leaves of cvs ‘Dingjiaba’ (D) and ‘Kanoiwa’ (K) following cold treatment at different time periods, in order to gain new insights into the mechanisms of cold adaptation in ‘Dingjiaba’.MATERIALS AND METHODS:We analyzed the transcriptomic and physiological data of leaves of D and K cvs exposed to 0 h (D0/K0), 2 h (D2/K2), 6 h (D6/K6) and 12h (D12/K12) cold stress.RESULTS:Low temperature stress caused membrane damage and led to increased rate of electrolyte leakage and increased MDA content. Cold stress induced the accumulation of soluble sugars, soluble proteins and proline in leaves of both cvs, with a lower increase in K compared to D. Transcriptome analysis identified 4,631, 5,069, 5,662 and 3,886 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between D0 and K0, D2 and K2, D6 and K6 and D12 and K12, respectively. The differentially expressed genes significantly enriched in metabolic pathways and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. We further validated the reliability of sequencing data of the RNA-Seq with Real-Time Quantitative PCR, which suggested that the expression trend of the RNASeq were same as RT-PCR.CONCLUSIONS:These results provide novel insights into a series of molecular mechanisms underlying physiological metabolism and defense.

Authors: Parasher Kiran , Sharma Charu , Sharma Shailika , Mukherjee Shrishti , Mukherjee Papiya
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND: Acorus calamus Linn. is a medicinally valuable monocot plant belonging to the family Acoraceae. Over-exploitation and unscientific approach towards harvesting to fulfill an everincreasing demand have placed it in the endangered list of species. OBJECTIVE:
To develop vitrification-based cryopreservation protocols for A. calamus shoot tips, using conventional vitrification and V cryo-plate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Shoot tips (2 mm in size) were cryopreserved with the above techniques by optimizing various parameters such as
preculture duration, sucrose concentration in the preculture medium, and PVS2 dehydration time. Regenerated plantlets obtained post-cryopreservation were evaluated by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) to test their genetic fidelity. RESULTS: The highest regrowth of 88.3%
after PVS2 exposure of 60 min was achieved with V cryo-plate as compared to 75% after 90 min of PVS2 exposure using conventional vitrification. After cryopreservation, shoot tips developed into complete plantlets in 28 days on regrowth medium (0.5 mg L-1 BAP, 0.3 mg L-1
GA3, and 0.3 mg L-1 ascorbic acid). RAPD analysis revealed 100% monomorphism in all cryo-storage derived regenerants and in vitro donor (120-days-old) plants. CONCLUSION: Shoot tips of A. calamus that were cryopreserved had 88.3% regrowth using V cryo-plate
technique and the regerants retained genetic fidelity.

Os defensivos agrícolas são produtos utilizados no ambiente rural visando o controle de pragas, porém o uso inadequado pode ocasionar a contaminação dos ambientes aquáticos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos do glifosato, malationa e casugamicina sobre as taxas de fertilização, eclosão e sobrevivência das larvas de tambaqui. Dois casais de tambaqui (fêmeas 7,73 ± 1,54 kg e machos 6,18 ± 0,65 kg) foram submetidos a reprodução artificial utilizando GnRH sintético Sincrofort®. Foram realizados três experimentos: (i) foram testadas concentrações de 0,0; 2,0; 4,0; 6,0; 8,0; 10,0 e 14,0 mg L-1 de glifosato, (ii) concentrações de 0,0; 0,25; 0,5; 0,75; 1,0; 1,25 e 1,5 µg L-1 de malationa, e (iii) concentrações de 0,0; 0,25; 0,5; 0,75; 1,0; 1,25 e 1,5 mg L-1 de casugamicina. Os ovos foram incubados em recipientes plásticos e os tratamentos foram as diferentes concentrações avaliadas, todas com cinco repetições. Um recipiente contendo 20 ovos foi considerado como unidade experimental. O experimento foi realizado sob ambiente controlado, em temperatura ambiente e baixa luminosidade. Os dados foram submetidos a análise de variância. O tratamento com água de incubação sem glifosato apresentou as melhores taxas de fertilização, eclosão e sobrevivência (p<0,05). A água de incubação sem malationa apresentou a melhor taxa de fertilização (p<0,05), não houve efeito nas taxas de eclosão e sobrevivência (p>0,05). O tratamento contendo 0,25 mg L-1 de casugamicina aumentou a taxa de fertilização e a água sem casugamicina obteve maior sobrevivência larval (p<0,05), sem efeito na taxa de eclosão (p>0,05). Assim, foi verificado que todos os produtos testados apresentaram toxidade durante alguma fase de incubação dos ovos de tambaqui.

Introdução: Diversos estudos associam o efeito dos agrotóxicos como fator de risco para a ocorrência do Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA). O TEA é uma síndrome que causa distúrbios do neurodesenvolvimento, caracterizado por dificuldades acentuadas no comportamento, interação social, comunicação e sensibilidades sensoriais. Tem sua causa ainda não estabelecida e vários fatores são relacionados ao seu acometimento. Objetivo: Identificar associação entre a exposição a agrotóxicos antes da concepção (90 dias precedentes a concepção) e/ou durante o período gestacional com sugestiva contribuição para a ocorrência do TEA. Método: Estudo de caso controle de base populacional. A amostra foi composta por 225 indivíduos, sendo 56 casos de mães com crianças com diagnostico de TEA confirmado, entrevistadas no Centro de Atenção Psicossocial Infantil (CAPSi), de Cuiabá e Várzea Grande e na AMA de Cuiabá; e 169 controles entrevistadas na rede de educação dos respectivos municípios. As informações socioeconômicas sobre exposições ambientais e aos agrotóxicos foram obtidas através de questionário padronizado. Realizou-se análise bivariada e estratificada utilizando-se, como medida de risco, o odds ratio com intervalo de confiança de 95% e teste qui-quadrado. A análise estratificada foi realizada para a seleção das principais variáveis de confundimento ou interação. Finalmente foi realizada a regressão logística, considerando todas as variáveis quando das análises brutas e estratificadas apresentaram p-valor menor que 0,10, mantendo-se no modelo final as variáveis com nível de significância menor ou igual 0,05 ou aquelas consideradas de importância, a priori, segundo a literatura. Resultados: Local de trabalho da mãe próximo a área rural (400metros da área rural) (OR: 3,75, IC: 95% 1,72-8,13), Uso diário de inseticida domiciliar (OR: 3,81, IC: 95% 1,67-8,64), Dedetização da casa no 1º trimestre da gestação (OR: 3,55, IC: 95% 1,61-7,81), morava próximo de indústria, área rural e/ou garimpo (OR: 2,54, IC: 95% 1,00-6,53) e ter tido, durante o período gestacional, Diabetes e/ou Hipertensão (OR: 2,66, IC: 95% 1,01-7,13) foram associados ao desenvolvimento de TEA. Conclusão: Fatores ambientais se mostram importantes marcadores de risco para doenças neurológicas e psiquiátricas, incluindo TEA. Esses achados fornecem evidências de que a exposição a agrotóxicos seja de forma ambiental e/ou ocupacional pode estar relacionada a ocorrência de TEA.

O presente estudo analisou o perfil epidemiológico dos sintomas de depressão nas pessoas cumpridoras de medidas cautelares diversas da prisão ou penas restritivas de direito. Para isso, fundamentou-se em uma pesquisa quantitativa do tipo exploratória descritiva, no qual foram levantados os sintomas da patologia em questão em 19 apenados e acautelados do Centro-Sul Piauiense a partir da Escala Hamilton de Avaliação da Depressão. Na análise de dados foi observada uma alta taxa de sintomas sugestivos de sintomas que podem indicar quadros de depressão (54,92%), contudo o maior percentual de sintomas (32,58%), foi classificado, no instrumento de avaliação da saúde mental, com escore igual a um. Ao estudar o comportamento de sintomas entre os grupos distintos de penados, verificou-se a existência comum da frequência destes entre a população amostral e as amostras para cada grupo (P= 0,075), também se diagnosticou pelo Coeficiente de Pearson que os sintomas de depressão estabeleciam uma correlação positiva, moderada e significante em ambos os grupos (r=0,445*). Ao realizar um comparativo de gênero notou-se que diferente do descrito na literatura as pessoas que se identificaram tanto como sendo do gênero masculino quanto do feminino possuem risco equânime para a manifestação de sintomas depressivos. Assim, com as testagens realizadas foi possível inferir que o grupo estudado apresenta risco para o desenvolvimento de sintomas depressivos, porém a sintomatologia identificada é classificada como de baixo risco, sendo este estatisticamente igual tanto para homens quanto para mulheres.

O presente estudo trata do papel da gestão pública na inclusão de alunos com TDAH, na educação pública. O objetivo foi analisar as políticas de educação inclusiva para alunos com TDAH em duas escolas públicas de ensino fundamental 1 da região da 8ª CRE. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva com abordagem qualitativa, que utilizou de observação não participante, entrevistas semiestruturadas e questionário, com os gestores e docentes das unidades escolares da região. Os resultados evidenciam  que a inclusão se dá por meio de adaptações físicas nas escolas, capacitação dos educadores e a colaboração entre famílias e a instituição. Enquanto os docentes se deparam com o desafio de personalizar as estratégias pedagógicas para atender à diversidade de TDAH, a gestão se concentra no desenvolvimento profissional e na comunicação com as famílias. Tal processo exige a união da comunidade escolar, vinculando o êxito das políticas inclusivas à capacidade de ajuste das práticas pedagógicas e à formação contínua. Apesar do reconhecimento da importância da inclusão, evidencia-se a necessidade de refinamento tanto nas práticas quanto na gestão educacional, realçando a essencialidade da parceria família-escola. A limitação da pesquisa a duas escolas sugere cautela na generalização dos resultados, indicando a demanda por estudos mais abrangentes no futuro.

SchizoBot: Delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Augmented Management of Schizophrenia
Authors: Nwoye Ephraim O , Muslehat Abdulgafaar A , Umeh Charles , Okodeh Samuel O , Woo Wai Lok
Published: April 2024

According to WHO, about 1.86 million people in Nigeria and about 24 million people worldwide are living with schizophrenia, having symptoms varying from hallucination to delusion, and distorted speech and thinking. Schizophrenia is a life-long disorder with no cure and thus, patients need continuous management with medications and psychotherapy. However, due to various factors such as the cost of therapy, time consumption, lack of adequate health workers, the unwillingness of patients to engage, and the pandemic, there is a need for an effective alternate medium for providing cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to schizophrenia patients. This research aims to develop a chatbot, which is called SchizoBot, delivering CBT for augmented management of schizophrenia. CBT for schizophrenia details, along with FAQs of schizophrenia patients were collected and adopted into a conversational format for pre-processing and model development. The model was developed with artificial neural network (ANN) and trained with the dataset which was split into train-test data to optimize the performance of the model. The result of the ANN showed an accuracy score of 93.97% at 60:40 train-test data split with 200 epochs. This robust system which provides an optimized chatbot platform using ANN as the model classifier for CBT delivery is foreseen to be a windfall to clinicians and patients as an augmentative management tool for schizophrenia. This, therefore, is a relatively low-cost and easily accessible means to significantly improve the health of schizophrenia patients while assisting clinicians in therapy delivery and compensating for the lapses in the administration of CBT to schizophrenia patients.

Insolvency and Intellectual Property Rights Protection and Enforcement Issues in Bankruptcy Proceedings
Authors: Singh LLM Shraddha
Published: April 2024

This research paper explores the intricate relationship between intellectual property (“IP”) rights and insolvency proceedings, particularly within the framework of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (“IBC”) in India. Intellectual property assets, including trademarks, patents, copyrights, and other intangible assets, hold significant value for companies, often becoming pivotal factors in insolvency resolution outcomes. Despite the critical role of IP, the IBC lacks explicit provisions addressing the treatment of IP licenses during insolvency, leading to uncertainties and gaps in legal guidance. Through a comprehensive examination of relevant sections of the IBC, such as Section 18 and Section 29, alongside comparative analysis with international insolvency laws, this paper elucidates the complexities surrounding the treatment of IP licenses in insolvency scenarios. It delves into concepts like the disclaimer of onerous property, avoidance powers, and the role of resolution professionals in managing IP assets during insolvency resolution processes. Furthermore, this paper identifies the absence of clear guidelines for cross-border insolvency cases involving intellectual property licenses, highlighting the need for harmonization and regulatory clarity to address potential conflicts between different insolvency regimes. The research underscores the importance of administrative inquiry and legislative action to provide robust protection for IP rights within insolvency frameworks, ensuring equitable treatment for all stakeholders involved.

Published: April 2024

The current paper aims to explore the role of the two functional analysis techniques in rationalizing pricing decisions, by employing the functional analysis technique in determining the performance of product functions and classifying them into a main component and a secondary component to achieve the possibility of excluding functional and their costs that do not add value based on the renewed desires of customers to reach a balance between functionality, cost, and price. To achieve this goal, the current research applied procedures and steps to reach a set of results through which it can be proven that pricing decisions are affected by the cost information generated from the two functional analysis techniques, so one of the companies of the Ministry of Industry and Minerals - the General Company for Electrical and Electronic Industries - a laboratory was chosen heaters - heater product (120) liters as described by the research community and its sample. The findings show that the functional analysis technique provides the possibility of identifying functions that do not add value from the customer's point of view and working to exclude them, improve them, reduce costs, or achieve the optimal level of functionality that the customer expects through product redesign. To solve problems related to improving product functionality creatively and innovatively, using the information generated by the functional analysis technique that can be used in making pricing decisions.

Respiratory management of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in the Intensive Care Unit from Early Diagnosis: Narrative Review
Authors: Battalian Théo
Published: April 2024

Abstract: This study aims to determine the optimal ventilatory technique for different levels of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) severity to reduce the need for endotracheal intubation (ETI) in the ICU. Secondary objectives include identifying predictors of failure of non-invasive ventilation (NIV), assessing the role of physiotherapists in the ICU across countries, and identifying areas for further investigation. A review of articles from 2013 to 2023 involving adults with ARDS in the ICU was conducted. The PEDro scale assessed article quality, and exclusion criteria included specific aetiologies of acute respiratory failure, extreme obesity, and pregnancy, as well as case series and case study designs. Data were extracted from PUBMED, EBSCO, and ScienceDirect, and a validated questionnaire was administered to physiotherapists in Chile, Spain, and France. Eight studies (number of patients n = 883) were included, and a questionnaire was completed by 22 physiotherapists (6 from France, 6 from Spain, 10 from Chile). Findings highlighted the management of high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and NIV in different patient populations. Helmet NIV had an 18.2% failure rate and better outcomes than facemask interface. NIV non-response correlated with increased mortality rates. Cox analysis identified predictors of NIV failure. Caution is advised in NIV use, considering predictors of failure, and HFNC may be beneficial in mild ARDS. The majority of included studies had small sample sizes, limiting generalizability. The questionnaire results were constrained by a small sample size and lack of meta-analysis.

Abstract: Veterinary practice commonly involves caring for domestic and companion animal. Since the trend of owning exotic pets is rapidly increasing, veterinarians often treat exotic patients as well. As a result, veterinarians are facing increased demands for specialized skills and knowledge. This article aims to provide a concise review of the anatomy of the vascular system in exotic animals and its relevance in clinical practice. Snakes, lizards and chelonians have 3-chambered heart with 2 atria and one partially divided ventricle whereas crocodiles have 4-chambered heart. It is important to consider these characteristics during the anesthesia in reptiles since blood shunting affects changes in blood pressure, oxygen level and other anesthetic parameters. In birds, the cardiovascular system is crucial in enduring the exhausting physical activities such as swimming, flying or diving and running. Birds have renal portal system which consists of cranial and caudal renal portal vein. The recommendation of avoiding drug application in the hindlimbs of birds is present for a long time. This is valid not only for birds, but for reptiles, amphibians and most fish. The ventricle of amphibians is trabeculated, which minimizes blood shunting through various anatomical and physiological features. During biphasic systole, the left and right side of the ventricle contract separately, directing blood in different parts of aortic arches. Due to the complexity of the exotic animals, thorough education added in veterinary curricula is needed. Keywords: amphibians, birds, cardiovascular, clinical, reptiles
