Pharmacists can contribute to the improvement in diabetes management and help patients recognise and manage barriers to optimal medication adherence. Home medication review (HMR) services provided by pharmacists could also assist patients in minimising drugrelated problems. This systematic review aimed to evaluate and summarise evidence from recent literature on the effectiveness of pharmacist-led home medication review interventions to improve medication adherence in adult type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Primary research articles published in English from 1st January 2012 to 31st May 2022, were retrieved from five online electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Reviews and the Web of Science). The methodological quality of all included studies was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklists. The literature search identified 2,178 publications; only four were included in this review. All four studies found that pharmacist-led HMR was associated with significant positive changes in the patient’s medication adherence. Significant improvements were demonstrated either through self-reported medication adherence assessment questionnaires or the pill counting adherence ratio before and after HMR visits. There was evidence of statistically significant effectiveness of pharmacist-led HMR initiatives to improve patient adherence to medication among adult T2DM patients.

Should I Stay or Should I Go? From Turning Points to Decision to Quit in a Call Center Environment
Authors: Garrido-López Mariano , Schaffer Brian , Moss Hollye
Published: November 2023

Traditionally, call centers have experienced high voluntary turnover rates among their agents (i.e., Customer Service and Sales Representatives). This continues to be an unresolved issue. This paper presents a research study that was conducted to gain a better understanding of the reasons behind employees’ decisions to leave a Customer Service and Sales organization belonging to a large multinational company in Financial Services in the USA. The company’s call centers have consistently experienced a high turnover rate among its agents. This qualitative study was conducted with former employees across three markets to understand the “turning points” which led them to decrease their commitment to the organization and subsequently leave their job. This research aims to enhance our comprehension of the sequential decision-making process that culminates in an employee’s decision to resign. The key findings and recommendations from this study could be used to create targeted organizational development initiatives designed to improve employee retention.

Authors: Garger John , Jacques Paul H. , Vracheva Veselina P. , Connolly Christine
Published: November 2023

This study investigates the combined effects of transformational and transactional leadership on higher-education students’ performance both beyond and below students’ historic scholastic achievement. Instructors’ intellectual stimulation behaviors, a component of transformational leadership, and their preemptive corrective oversight in the form of management by exception active, a component of transactional leadership, are correlated with grades students earned in a course. Findings suggest that beyond a student’s near-past academic performance, an instructor’s transformational and transactional behaviors influence a student’s performance in a class either positively or negatively, respectively. Instructors’ transformational and transactional leader behaviors also had opposing effects on grades after controlling for near-past academic performance. These findings underscore the need for instructors to engage in a combination of transformational and transactional leadership behaviors to support students’ pursuit of high academic achievement.

Published: November 2023

An interactive, mixed-media artistic research process – using somatic experience, dance, listening, storytelling, and visual arts to ponder on the topic of distance in research practice.

The focal point of this research process has been the somatic feeling of distance and entanglement and exploring those through movement - captured on film, inspired by and enriched with music by Ólafur Arnalds.

The written story is a secondary translation of the research process, formed by the somatic exploration, movement experimentation, painting, and the process of film-making. I’ve used watercolors as an aid to help me translate and express the inquiry in the form of text.
Power Swing: Detection and Prevention
Authors: Muminović Rasim , Muminović Armin
Published: November 2023

Power swing is a phenomenon that is basically caused by large disturbances in the power system. If not blocked, it can cause incorrect operation of distance protection and result in incorrect or unwanted disconnection of transmission line switches. Furthermore, if not prevented, it can lead to serious damage to the generator. This paper describes the basics of power system stability during power swings, lists the effects on the distance or other relay during power swing, and presents methods for detecting power swing, both traditional and advanced. Additionally, it provides a description of the settings of the Power Swing Blocking (PSB) scheme to meet these requirements.

This paper analyses the climate change mitigation strategies adopted by industries from the first commitment period of Kyoto Protocol (2008) till present day (2023). A systematic literature review was conducted using the AND operator to customise articles published in Scopus database of 15 years of first commitment period of Kyoto Protocol (2009–2023). Findings show that all the climate change mitigation strategies (CCMS) identified can broadly be classified into managerial and technological. These strategies span from carbon offsets to start-up (ex. renovation in construction industries) to hydrogen as an energy source. VOSviewer network analysis of research paper showed that large number of countries are working closely on CCMS with USA in the forefront. Keywords like climate change, sustainability, greenhouse gas (GHG) were found to be most common in the research articles. This study confirms the significance of adopting managerial and technological strategies in industries for sustainability management. In addition, finance for climate policy and mitigation in terms of cost effectiveness, trade-offs, pollution tax, investments seem to possess a considerable influence on the climate governance.

Automatic Generation of Semantically Annotated Collocation Corpus
Authors: Zaripova Diana Aleksandrovna , Lukashevich Natal'ya Valentinovna
Published: November 2023

Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is a crucial initial step in automatic semantic analysis. It involves selecting the correct sense of an ambiguous word in a given context, which can be challenging even for human annotators. Supervised machine learning models require large datasets with semantic annotation to be effective. However, manual sense labeling can be a costly, labor-intensive, and time-consuming task. Therefore, it is crucial to develop and test automatic and semi-automatic methods of semantic annotation. Information about semantically related words, such as synonyms, hypernyms, hyponyms, and collocations in which the word appears, can be used for these purposes. In this article, we describe our approach to generating a semantically annotated collocation corpus for the Russian language. Our goal was to create a resource that could be used to improve the accuracy of WSD models for Russian. This article outlines the process of generating a semantically annotated collocation corpus for Russian and the principles used to select collocations. To disambiguate words within collocations, semantically related words defined based on RuWordNet are utilized. The same thesaurus is also used as the source of sense inventories. The methods described in the paper yield an F1-score of 80% and help to add approximately 23% of collocations with at least one ambiguous word to the corpus. Automatically generated collocation corpuses with semantic annotation can simplify the preparation of datasets for developing and testing WSD models. These corpuses can also serve as a valuable source of information for knowledge-based WSD models.

Published: November 2023

Hepatic encephalopathy in the initial stages is a diagnostically challenging clinical phenomenon, based on the accumulation of ammonia. Symptoms of encephalopathy are extremely varied: from a slight cognitive decrease and minimal affective disorders to disorders of consciousness and coma in the terminal stages. However, the severity of liver pathology and neurophysiological and neuroimaging data do not always correlate with the severity of encephalopathy. The greatest difficulties in diagnosis arise at the initial stage of the disease, and a timely recognized and established diagnosis can not only slow down the progression of cognitive deficits and characterological changes, but also significantly improve the patient’s prognosis.

Published: November 2023

Introduction. Modern methods of recanalization — systemic thrombolytic therapy (STT) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) — allow restoring blood fl ow in the brain tissue in ischemic stroke (IS).

Purpose of the study: to analyze the effectiveness of IS reperfusion therapy methods used in the Regional Stroke Center (RSC) of the Tomsk Regional Clinical Hospital from 2017 to 2022.

Material and methods. A retrospective evaluation of 666 analyzed cases of specific therapy for IS was performed: 505 cases of STT (67 [59.0; 75.0] years), 126 cases of MT (69 [60.5; 77.5] years), 35 cases a combination of STT followed by MT (69 [63.0; 76.7] years).

Results. The severity of neurological deficit according to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) before the intervention was greater in the MT and STT + MT groups (18 [14.0; 25.0] and 18 [14.5; 20.0] points) relative to patients who received STT (11 [8.0; 16.0] and 4 [2.0; 10.0]). Mortality in the MTE group was (64/127, 50.8%) and was higher compared to patients who received STT (104/505, 20.6%, p < 0.001). In the group of patients who underwent combined intervention with STT + MT (9/27, 25.7%), there was a trend towards lower mortality (p = 0.050) compared with isolated MT.

Conclusion. A trend towards fewer deaths was found when using a combined intervention in the treatment of IS compared with isolated MT, which may indicate a higher effi ciency of bridging-therapy.

Authors: Egitim Soyhan , Price Gregory
Published: November 2023

This paper aims to understand the perspectives of Japanese university English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers on the use of varying authentic supplementary materials while following standard English for Academic Purposes (EAP) coursebooks. A series of narrative interviews were conducted with Japanese university EFL teachers, in order to gain deeper insights into how they perceive and make meaning of their material preferences and teaching approaches. The responses suggest that EAP coursebooks can serve as a valuable guide due to their structured outline of the main teaching and learning points. In addition, incorporating authentic supplementary materials designed for the purposes of Professional and Occupational English (EP/OP), alongside EAP coursebook contents can be beneficial as they can bring diversity to class activities, provide exposure to authentic language, and connect the classroom environment to the professional world. With an understanding of the specialized needs and goals of their students, foreign language teachers can maximize the creative potential of their materials, making them relevant to fulfill those specific objectives.

Published: November 2023

This study examines the effects of GHRM on environmental performance and the moderating role of environmental and organizational citizenship behavior in the telecommunications sector in Kabul, Afghanistan. The random sampling technique is used to collect the data from the corresponding respondents. Multiple regressions are used to obtain the study's numerical result. The result of the study is the following: The estimated coefficient of green recruitment and selection is 0.074, which is significantly high at 5 percent. These positive values indicate a positive relationship between environmental performance and green recruitment and selection. There is a significant relationship between environmental performance and green recruitment and selection. The top management commitment was found to have a significant (p = 0.048) estimate coefficient, where p <0.05, so we rejected the null hypothesis and accepted the alternative hypothesis, green recruitment and selection and environmental performance have a significant relationship. There is a significant relationship between green performance management and environmental performance. A significant (p = 002) coefficient was found in green performance management, where p <0.05. Wereject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis by stating that green management performance and environmental performance are essential. There is a significant relationship between training, development, and environmental performance. This study also employs a robust and indirect effect to investigate a valid mediation. The product of OBCE and Green Recruitment and Selection show a significant positive indirect effect of green environmental and organizational citizenship behavior in the relationship between environmental performance and green recruitment and selection, which accepts H4 of the study. The estimated coefficient of OBCE * Green Recruitment and Selection is 0.098. This implies that environmental and organizational citizenship behavior has played a critical role in the relationship between environmental performance and green recruitment and selection because the coefficient of OBCE * Green Recruitment and Selection is greater than the estimated coefficient of green selection and recruitment.

Urgensi asas keterbukaan dalam pembentukan Peraturan perundang-undangan di indonesia
Authors: Arfiani Arfiani , Syofyan Syofirman , Delyarahmi Sucy , Nadilla Indah
Published: November 2023

AbstrakPembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berpijak pada asas keterbukaan adalah pengejawantahan dari negara demokrasi. Dalam penjelesan Pasal 5 huruf g dapat dilihat makna dari asas keterbukaan adalah bahwa dalam setiap proses pembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan haruslah bersifat transparan dan terbuka terhadap seluruh lapisan masyarakat. Namun kenyataannya saat ini proses pembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan di Indonesia terkesan terburu-buru dan menutup akses masyarakat untuk berpartisipasi dalam prosesnya. Padahal masyarakat memiliki peranan yang cukup signifikan dalam proses pembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan itu sendiri, hal ini dikarenakan yang akan mematuhi, menjalankan dan melaksanakan ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan tersebut adalah masyarakat. Akan tetapi sangat disayangkan keterbukaan terhadap akses pemantau pembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan itu sulit untuk diperoleh oleh masyakat. Mirisnya lagi tanpa adanya pemberitahuan lebih lanjut banyak Undang-Undang yang tiba-tiba saja sudah di sahkan secara gamblang oleh para dewan legislatif bersama pemerintah. Maka dari itu penelitian ini mengangkat dua permasalahan yaitu Pertama, Bagaimana urgensi asas keterbukaan dalam pembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan di Indonesia? Kedua Bagaimana problematika asas keterbukaan dalam pembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan di Indonesia?. Penelitian ini ialah penelitian normatif atau penelitian kepustakaan. Penelitian normatif ialah jenis penelitian yang bertumpu pada sumber data sekunder sebagai data rujukan utama yang terdiri dari bahan hukum primer, bahan hukum sekunder dan bahan hukum tersier.
Applications of Artificial Intelligence to Diagnosis of Neurodegenerative Diseases
Authors: Feng Tiange
Published: November 2023

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an umbrella term that represents a new technology for simulating and expanding human intelligence by using machines and computer systems. It consists of methods such as machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and natural language processing (NLP). In the era of big data, AI has emerged as an essential tool for improving the detection of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s diseases (AD), Parkinson’s diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, etc. AI with its ability to extract critical information from the mass of data has enabled scientists to deal with various types of large-volume data, including genetic data, imaging data, and clinical data, rapidly generated in the course of neurodegenerative disease research. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on current AI applications in the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. Firstly, bioinformatics and AI approaches to identify potential biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases such as AD are reviewed. Secondly, the use of ML and DL methods to analyze Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data for a better understanding of disease progression and predicting patient outcomes is discussed. Finally, the use of AI methods including NLP for Electronic Health Record (EHR) data analysis to extract meaningful information and identify patterns that may contribute to early diagnosis and treatment planning are reviewed. The potential benefits of AI-based approaches in improving patient outcomes and the challenges associated with their implementations are also discussed. Overall, this paper highlights the promise of AI in transforming the diagnosis and management of neurodegenerative diseases.
The Prohibited Artificial Intelligence Practice
Authors: Bulgakova Daria
Published: November 2023

The research strives to provide a comprehensive understanding of the regulation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), known as the AI act of the European Union, with a specific focus on the regulatory challenges related to the prohibition of AI systems that deploy subliminal techniques. To achieve this, the author proposes the perspective of metaverse to enhance the user experience and biometric psychography to avoid reality eye-tracking-based models. However, the current AI act needs to be prepared to address biometrics, which merely repeats the GDPR, giving a hand to AI market growth. Regardless, the author offers four key contributions. Firstly, it shows up a course on the prohibition of AI systems contrasting to the pupillometry market that strive for an opposite course. Secondly, it clarifies the image of subliminal techniques beyond a person’s consciousness of Article 5 para 1 point (a) with reference to the ‘vulnerability’ urge as per point (b). Thirdly, the research compiles perspicuity of ‘psychological harm’ criterion through the assessment of case law practice. Finally, it proposes to fill the gaps in privacy especially when the AI system initially appears friendly but becomes tracking. To support this outcome, the manuscript refers to biometric psychography expanding the concept of biometric data for AI systems.
A Comparative Approach of the Portrayal of the Cultural Identity in Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon and in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart
Authors: Zéphirin Bokotiabato Mokogna , Serge EPOUNDA Mexan , NGASSAKI Basile Marius
Published: November 2023

The present work aims to compare in detail the depiction of cultural identity inToni Morrison’s Song of Solomon and in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. What is particularly revealing is the different devices these writers use to portray aspects of cultural identity, combining autobiographical material with fiction. In other words, this analysis shines light on the different elements they utilize in defining their identities. In this respect, the success of this analysis requires the use of sociological, historical, psychological, and linguistic approaches. Both authors portray their cultural identities convincingly in their works. On the one hand, Morrison searches his identity for its construction. On the other hand, Achebe, as a representative, presents his identity as a response to Westerners’ false portrayals of Africa, particularly the notion of having no language or culture. The analysis shows that they resort in comparable ways to oral tradition, regarding ancestors as a source of cultural identity, as well as superstitions. It also shows that their use of proverbs in the context of oral tradition is a remarkable fact distinguishing them. Achebe uses them to show the mastery of his language with its existence contrarily to Morrison. Additionally, Pilate in Song of Solomon and Agbala in Things Fall Apart play the same multifarious roles in the matter of cultural identity.

The findings display that the implementation of flipped learning in teaching syntax is more effective in terms of comprehension of the KKU specified material course properly and broaden syntax knowledge through searching and discussion aspects in terms of class discussion and presentational activities. Moreover, students reveal positive mental models, collaboration, positive interaction, and enjoyment of flipped learning. Hence, the students become researchers, and they change the class to a discussion platform and debating room. The study paper concludes that the integration of technology in teaching English courses should be implemented at KKU, and English instructors should be trained to use flipped learning in teaching English courses from a digital transformative perspective, copying with KKU’s orientation.

In clinical practice, it is frequently observed that cardiac and psychological disorders frequently co-occur, leading to the emergence of a field known as cardiovascular disease with depression. Depression, in particular, poses a remarkable risk for the evolution of cardiovascular disease and intimately relates to adverse cardiovascular outcomes and mortality. Moreover, individuals who are depressed exhibit a higher susceptibility to developing cardiovascular disease compared to those in good health. Patients diagnosed with cardiovascular disease with depression disease face a heightened risk of mortality within a 5-year timeframe, and their prognosis remains unsatisfactory even after receiving treatment targeting a single disorder, with a notable recurrence rate. Psychological interventions in conjunction with medications are commonly employed in clinical settings for treating patients with cardiovascular disease and depression diseases, albeit with limited effectiveness and unfavorable prognosis. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), such as Shuangxinfang, Chaihujialonggumuli, and Yixin Ningshen Tablet, etc., have been reported and have Therapeutic effects in patients with cardiovascular disease combined with depression. Despite numerous articles documenting a notable association between heart disease and depression, there exists a dearth of studies elucidating the precise pathogenesis and target of action for cardiovascular disease with depression diseases. This article endeavors to consolidate the epidemiological data, potential pathogenic mechanisms, and available treatment modalities for cardiovascular disease with depression diseases. Its primary objective is to unveil plausible co-morbid mechanisms and suitable treatment approaches, thereby offering novel insights for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of cardiovascular disease with depression diseases.

Проаналізовано основні чинники впливу на сукупну факторну продуктивність основних показників науково-технічної та інноваційної діяльності. Визначено основні з них. Це – брак фінансових та людських ресурсів у науково-інноваційній сфері України, низькі інвестиції у нематеріальні активи, виробництво та експорт товарів з використанням у виробництві технологій високого та середньовисокого рівня, у загальному обсязі виробництва та експорту товарів. Україна може отримати вигоду від різноманітного і різнопланового підходу до державної підтримки ДіР, не тільки фінансової.
КРИПТОВАЛЮТА ЯК АЛЬТЕРНАТИВА ФІАТНИМ КОШТАМ
Authors: Бутко Марія , Шульга Тетяна
Published: November 2023

У статті розглядаються проблеми, пов'язані з використанням криптовалюти в Україні, і їх вплив на потенціал криптовалюти стати альтернативою традиційним фіатним коштам.Автор статті стверджує, що криптовалюта має ряд потенційних переваг перед традиційними фіатними коштами, зокрема децентралізацію, безпеку та прозорість. Однак, криптовалюта також пов'язана з певними ризиками, зокрема волатильністю, зловживаннями і регулюванням. Ці проблеми є важливими, оскільки вони можуть перешкодити широкому запровадженню криптовалюти як альтернативи традиційним фіатним коштам.В Україні криптовалюта є популярним способом платежу, але вона не регулюється законодавством. Це може призвести до таких проблем: неповний захист прав споживачів, у разі втрати криптовалюти через шахрайство або помилкові транзакції; зростання використання криптовалюти для незаконних операцій, оскільки криптовалюту можна використовувати анонімно; нестабільність криптовалютного ринку, оскільки відсутність регулювання може призвести до спекуляцій і маніпуляцій.Автор статті вважає, що для того, щоб криптовалюта стала широко використовуваною альтернативою традиційним фіатним коштам, необхідно вирішити проблеми, пов'язані з її регулюванням.Законодавство України про криптовалюту необхідно привести у відповідність до Регламенту MiCA, який є європейським документом, що встановлює правила регулювання криптовалют. Це дозволить створити безпечний та надійний криптовалютний ринок в Україні, захистити права споживачів і запобігти використанню криптовалюти для незаконних операцій.Автор статті також розглядає потенційні переваги регулювання криптовалюти в Україні. Зокрема, він вважає, що регулювання може: 1. Збільшити довіру до криптовалюти як до легального способу платежу. Це може призвести до зростання використання криптовалюти в Україні та за її межами. 2. Забезпечити захист прав споживачів. Це може включати захист від шахрайства, помилкових транзакцій та інших ризиків, пов'язаних з криптовалютою. 3. Запобігти використанню криптовалюти для незаконних операцій. Це може включати відмивання грошей, фінансування тероризму та інші злочини.У заключній частині анотації автор статті робить висновок про те, що регулювання криптовалюти в Україні є необхідним для того, щоб криптовалюта стала широко використовуваною альтернативою традиційним фіатним коштам. Він також закликає українську владу до співпраці з іншими країнами та міжнародними організаціями для розробки ефективних правил регулювання криптовалют.

A tuberculose caracteriza-se como um problema de saúde pública. Assim, delinear seu perfil epidemiológico é fundamental para entender sua distribuição. Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico, do tipo transversal, com abordagem quantitativa sobre o perfil dos casos de tuberculose no Estado do Pará entre 2018 a 2022. A coleta de dados foi realizada mediante consulta e aplicação dos filtros específicos na ferramenta Tabnet do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde. As variáveis sociodemográficas analisadas foram: região de saúde, faixa etária, sexo e escolaridade. Resultados: O número de pessoas com Tuberculose no período de nálise foi de 25.826. Com base nos dados coletados, a região Metropolitana I apresentou a maioria dos casos. O Marajó I foi a região de saúde com o menor número de casos. A razão da prevalência de 2,08% entre homens e mulheres, demonstrou que homens apresentam maior probabilidade de infecção. A maioria dos casos registrados, cerca de 12.267, pertence ao grupo de pessoas com faixa etária entre 20 a 39 anos, e cerca de 4.333 de pessoas, que possuíam apenas o ensino fundamental incompleto entre a 5ª e a 8ª série, totalizaram a maioria dos casos no Estado. Os fatores socioeconômicos estão relacionados aos casos de tuberculose, podendo-se destacar as moradias insalubres e condições precárias sem saneamento. Há, ainda, maior predominância em indivíduos com condições sociais desfavoráveis, como alimentação insuficiente. A partir da evidência de suscetibilidade, este instrumento apresentou suma importância para ações de prevenção e redução de casos no Estado.
