A systematic review was conducted to assess the impact of telenursing on glycosylated hemoglobin levels in diabetic patients. International electronic databases, including Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science, were systematically searched from their inception to August 21, 2023, using keywords derived from Medical Subject Headings such as "Diabetes mellitus", "Telenursing", and "Glycosylated Hemoglobin". In addition, Iranian databases like Iranmedex were also consulted. The quality of randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies was evaluated using the critical assessment checklist from the Joanna Briggs Institute. A total of nine studies involving 387 diabetic patients were participants across five studies. Among these patients, 65.48% were female, and 63.44% were allocated to the intervention group. The mean age of the study participants was 57.64 (SD=6.74). The mean duration of the studies and their respective follow-up periods were 48 and 12 weeks, respectively. Additionally, the average length of the intervention in all five studies, was approximately 17.5 minutes. Importantly, across all these studies, it was consistently observed that telenursing effectively reduced glycosylated hemoglobin levels. The findings demonstrated that telenursing, when utilized by nurses, was effective in controlling glycosylated hemoglobin levels and reducing them. We recommend that healthcare managers and policymakers establish a platform that not only incorporates telenursing via phone calls but also explores other methods such as video calls. This approach should consider cost-effectiveness to ensure accessibility for all individuals. Consequently, alongside traditional telephone calls, various telenursing methods can be employed to lower glycosylated hemoglobin levels.
Nursing students' knowledge and related factors towards organ donation: A systematic review

This systematic review investigated the level of knowledge among nursing students regarding organ donation and the factors influencing their knowledge. We conducted a comprehensive and systematic search across various international electronic databases, including Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, as well as Persian databases such as Iranmedex and Scientific Information Database. We utilized keywords derived from Medical Subject Headings such as "knowledge", "nursing students", and "organ donation". The search spanned from the earliest available records to August 1, 2023. To assess the quality of the studies included in this systematic review, we employed the Appraisal tool for Cross-Sectional Studies. In total, 2,408 nursing students were in twelve cross-sectional studies. The average knowledge of nursing students in 10 studies regarding organ donation was 40.48 out of 100, which shows their low level of knowledge. The knowledge of nursing students regarding organ donation had a significant positive relationship with the attitude (n=3). Also, nursing students' knowledge had a significant negative relationship with unfavorable attitudes (n=1). Furthermore, the results showed that there is a significant relationship between the knowledge of nursing students and gender, and there is also a relationship between the knowledge of nursing students and their age (n=1). Therefore, policymakers and health managers can improve the knowledge of organ donation in nursing students by paying more attention to the factors related to organ donation knowledge such as age, gender, and attitude.

In healthcare, patient safety is regarded as a paramount concern, with nurses playing a pivotal role in safeguarding the well-being of those under their care [1]. However, amidst the complex web of healthcare delivery, one crucial aspect often overlooked is the significance of patient safety culture within the nursing profession [2]. Patient safety culture encompasses the values, attitudes, beliefs, and norms shared by healthcare professionals regarding patient safety, and its absence can hinder the delivery of high-quality care [3, 4].

Down's syndrome is one of the genetic abnormalities that can cause different degrees of mental retardation from moderate to severe in children [1]. The incidence of this disorder in the world is one person in every 700 to 800 live births, although this number has increased in recent years [2]. Usually, the children with Down's syndrome are at risk of chronic physical diseases and growth, development, behavioral, and emotional problems. Therefore, children with Down's syndrome are considered as a group of children with special needs who need more care than normal children [3]. The presence of chronic diseases such as congenital heart defects, hypothyroidism, and immune disorders can affect many aspects of the life of caregivers of children with Down's syndrome, leading to fatigue, isolation, burden, and stress [4]. The needs of the family of children with Down's syndrome are significantly higher because the family must be more involved in child care due to developmental delays, limitations in daily life activities related to self-care such as dressing, personal hygiene [5].

Developing an application can be a task if any kind of conflict arises during deploying the code or while running them and it can be due to the storage or the code being not supported by the other party’s system. Thus to provide a solution for this matter, we are introducing the project concept of Dockerized application deployment through a web interface. This proposed project combines the efficiency of Docker containers with a web interface to create a platform for running and managing applications easily. When a programmer or a developer or anyone in the field of programming has conflict in uploading, running or deploying their application code from another programmer’s system to their own due to the inefficiency or lack of facilities in their system, they can use this web interface as a solution. Especially during the time of any rush, they can opt for this web interface as it does not require the installation of a local Docker software and any extra dependency management, as installation of Dockers are a bit time lagging. One of the main factors of this project is that this web interface can be run in any kind of computer system without any extra facilities being added to it. Whether the system is less efficient or high efficient regardless of the type of the system, this web interface is easy to access for the users. Users can upload their application code, build Docker images, and run them directly from the web interface. With the advantage of Docker’s utility methodologies for shipping, testing and deploying code, you can reduce the delay between writing codes and running applications .It has additional features like users can define environment variables for their applications, configure network settings for container communication ,mount persistent volumes to store application data with help of virtual cloud, implement user roles and permissions for secure access control .The front end of the web page is created using NEXT Programming Language meanwhile the backend is applied using NEXT, Docker and Python Flask API. About NEXT Programming Language that in this language, when the front-end is applied the backend function gets directly deployed making us use less effort in creating the webpage. It's a newly created advanced programming language. Overall, this Dockerized application deployment web-interface offers a user-friendly and efficient solution for developers, system administrators, and DevOps teams, streamlining the application development and deployment process.

Papeles de Ítaca
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Pérez Puente Bernardo
Published: April 2024

Dos viejos actores metidos a espías, un hotel de playa que oculta un secreto, un joven latinoamericano a punto de morir de frío en París, un estudiante que vende libros robados, un instructivo para buscar tesoros y otro que enseña el arte de perder el paraguas… Con espíritu lúdico y precisión de relojero, Luis Bernardo Pérez nos entrega un conjunto de relatos que oscilan entre la fantasía, el humor y el juego metaliterario. Son historias que ocurren en una realidad donde la aventura homérica parece ir a la baja y cuyos nuevos Ulises se ven obligados a regresar a Ítaca cargados de lances inventados, proezas imaginadas y hazañas ficticias que se convertirán en materia literaria.

The study was aimed at assessing the lethal concentration 50 (LC50) of aqueous extract of Adansonia digitata fruit pulp (AEADFP) in Clarias gariepinus. Adansonia digitata fruit pulp was obtained at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ahmadu Bello University (A.B.U), Zaria, Nigeria. Proximate nutrient composition was determined according to the Association of Official Analytical Chemist. Maceration method was employed for Adansonia digitata fruit pulp extraction using distilled water, and thereafter, screened for phytochemical constituents. A total of 200 African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) weighing between 185 ± 5 g (27-36 cm) were used for determination of LC50 of AEADFP using standard procedure at the aquaculture animal house Unite of Department of Veterinary Pathology, A.B.U., Zaria. Twenty (20) fish were used for range finding test, while 180 fish for LC50 evaluation. The experimental fish were observed for clinical signs of toxicity and mortality. The result of proximate nutrient composition of Adansonia digitata fruit revealed the presence of carbohydrate, lipid, protein, ash, moisture, and crude fiber. Qualitative phytochemical evaluation revealed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, phenol, terpenoid, glycosides, saponins, anthraquinone, steroids, reducing sugar and alkaloids, while quantitative phytochemical assay showed that total Phenol and alkaloid had highest and lowest concentration, respectively. There was neither mortality nor any clinical sign of toxicity observed for the 96 hours post-administration to AEADFP up to 5000 mg/L. Conclusively, AEADFP had nutritional and bioactive compounds that are important in biological processes. The lethal concentration of AEADFP is above 5000 mg/L; hence, relatively safer for use in medicinal purposes.

Mushrooms, as part of the fungal kingdom, are essential components in nutrient cycling and carbon retention in terrestrial ecosystems. Monitoring the impact of climate change on fungi in their natural habitat is difficult because most species reside below the soil surface. As a result of few reported occurrence records in Nigeria, we model the species distribution of two edible mushrooms, namely, Pleurotus ostreatus and Macrolepiota procera, using MaxEnt to predict the potential future range shifts under different climate change scenarios. In this study, we have calculated high model performances based on the Area Under Curve (AUC) values generated (0.778-0.873). In the modeling approach, the two species were predicted to have an expansion of their localized fundamental niches, pointing to the influence of precipitation as an important macroclimatic predictor. Highly suitable habitats for the two species were discovered primarily in Southern Nigeria, with less habitat suitability in the Northcentral zone in 2050. The predicted models in this study do not tell missing geographical information, which could be achieved through citizen science for occurrence records and biodiversity conservation. However, they may be used to explore potentialities, such as understanding the possible distribution patterns of the two mushroom species in Nigeria. This can serve as a useful baseline to enhance the utilization and conservation efforts of these macrofungi as a result of climate change, habitat loss, and rapid urbanization.

Published: April 2024

Dichlorvos an organophosphate compound is used in the agricultural sector for both pre-harvest and postharvest protection of crops. Large quantities are used globally every year with the developing nations having the highest patronage. The hazardous consequences of this quantity on human and animal health are enormous and a matter of urgent public health concern. This work is aimed at determining the effect of dichlorvos-treated bean diets on immune profiles and the structural integrity of the spleen in rats. A total of twenty-eight (28) kilograms of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) was acquired and divided into seven groups of 4kg each. Group I is the control group and did not receive any dichlorvos treatment. Groups IIa, IIb, and IIc only received high, medium, and low doses respectively while groups IIId, IIIe and IIIf received high, medium, and low doses of dichlorvos respectively thereafter parboiled and dried. All samples were stored for six months, separately ground into powder form using a blender then mixed with rat feed and fed to the rats for thirty days. At the end of the treatment, the rats were anaesthetized with chloroform, and blood samples were collected through cardiac puncture for determination of white blood cell profile. The spleen was harvested and preserved in 10% formaldehyde for histological analysis. The result showed that in groups IIa, IIb, and IIc all the immuno-protective components of the cell increased significantly when compared to the control. Cross-examination of the spleen showed various degrees of structural abnormalities caused by dichlorvos.
Using publicly available UK datasets to identify recruitment sites to maximise inclusion of under-served groups: three case studies
Authors: Booth Alison , McDaid Catriona , Scrimshire Ashley , Singh Harvinder pal , Scantlebury Arabella , Hewitt Catherine
Published: April 2024

Background There is strong evidence that those recruited into studies are not always representative of the population for whom the research is most relevant. Development of the study design and funding decisions are points in the research process where considerations about inclusion of under-served populations may usefully be made. Current practical guidance focuses on designing and modifying participant recruitment and retention approaches but an area that has not been addressed is recruitment site selection. Methods We present case studies of three NIHR funded trials to demonstrate how publicly available UK population datasets can be used to facilitate the identification of under-served communities for inclusion in trials. The trials have different designs, address different needs and demonstrate recruitment planning across Trauma centres, NHS Trusts and special educational settings. We describe our use of national freely available datasets, such as those provided by NHS Digital and the Office for National Statistics, to identify potential recruitment sites with consideration of health status, socio-economic status and ethnicity as well as clinical and risk factors to support inclusivity. For all three studies, we produced lists of potential recruitment sites in excess of the number anticipated as necessary to meet the recruitment targets. Discussion We reflect on the challenges to our approach and some potential future developments. The datasets used are all free to use but each has their limitations. Agreeing search parameters, acceptable proxies and identifying the appropriate datasets, then cross referencing between datasets takes considerable time and particular expertise. The case studies are trials, but the methods are generalisable for various other study types. Conclusion Through these exemplars, we aim to build on the NIHR INCLUDE project, by providing trialists with a much needed practical approach to embedding EDI into trial design at the grant application stage.

Authors: Khomanets Volodymyr
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the modern practice by states of the sanctions toolkit of financial diplomacy and an assessment of its political and economic effectiveness. The role of economic sanctions in the system of financial instruments of diplomatic activity of states and their achievement of strategic goals related to accelerating macroeconomic growth and improving the material well-being of the population are defined. Considerable attention is paid to identifying the functional purpose of economic sanctions and revealing their place in the modern regulatory toolkit of international organizations, regional integration groups, and national governments. It has been proven that economic sanctions have been actively implemented in recent decades as one of the means of political pressure on those states that violate the system of international order and threaten the national interests of a significant number of sovereign states. Economic sanctions are also qualified as an important mechanism for states to achieve a number of political and economic goals, de-escalation of global and regional conflicts, as well as deterring countries from aggressive behavior in the international arena. It was found that recent years have been characterized by a significant increase in the attention of researchers to the issue of increasing the effectiveness of the sanctions tools of financial diplomacy used by states.
EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF GREEN ENERGY IN UKRAINE: THEORETICAL AND APPLIED ASPECTS
Authors: Shkvarylyuk Marta
Published: April 2024

In today’s realities, the impossibility of further sustainable economic progress without taking into account the most important problems of global sustainable development becomes especially obvious. Continuing to ignore environmental problems and the rapid depletion of natural resources in long-term development strategies, especially in such an important field as energy, threatens to undermine the evolutionary sustainability and security of future generations. Therefore, resource-saving and ecologically clean alternative energy should be considered as inevitable for the sustainable development of both the energy industry and the country’s economy as a whole. Optimizing the rational use of limited resources is the basis not only of strategic management of the country, regions and industries, but also of socio-economic development, the effectiveness of which is manifested only in conditions of sustainable growth.

Published: April 2024

Sustainable transformations in some segments of the food system, which have recently occurred due to military conflicts, extreme climate events and epidemics, necessitate their in-depth study. Ensuring the population's physical and economic access to food to a certain extent depends on food retail (domestic retail trade), which, together with other components of the food system, has undergone transformation and requires an assessment of development trends. The article aims to identify development trends and transformations that occurred from 2012 to 2021 in Ukraine's food retail industry as a component of the food system. The study used general scientific and special methods: dialectical and logical to summarize the scientific basis for identifying transformations in food retail; economic-statistical – for processing and analyzing statistical data; tabular and graphical – for visualizing and summarizing the research results. The authors summarize conceptual approaches to the interpretation and essence of transformations in food systems and features of the formation of modern food policy. The differences in food retail transformations in modern and traditional food systems were revealed. Trends in the development and transformation of food retail during 2012-2021 were identified, including changes in the quantitative structure of stores and retail space, turnover volumes, profitability of trade, volumes of consumption of basic food products, consumer prices, etc. With the advent of Internet commerce, qualitative changes have occurred in serving consumers, mainly through creating online goods delivery services, mobile applications, and social networks. Using innovative food retail management technologies increases the efficiency of trade operations and improves product supply. As a result of the transformation of consumer priorities, health and sports nutrition stores and farm products have become stores with a focus on their safety and quality.

Assessing the risk of financial distress is an important component of effective management because it helps companies make right financial decisions, avoid potential risks and improve business operations. This study provides more empirical evidence on the role of the Z-Score model in predicting financial distress of companies in emerging markets like Vietnam. This research paper uses data from 30 companies that delisted on UPCOM due to financial distress and 30 companies with Z-score greater than 4.35 on Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HoSE) for 5 years from 2018 to 2022, corresponding to 300 observations. The selected companies have enough audited financial statement data during the research period which are collected from websites such as cafef.vn, vietstock.vn, and websites with data on companies’ financial statements. The financial factors are taken from the balance sheet and income statement by the authors to calculate the Z-Score. The authors use the Independent-samples T-test with data collected delisted companies due to financial distress and stably listed firms on the Vietnam Stock Market to test whether there is a difference in Z-score and independent variables in the Z-score model between these two groups of companies. The research results show that, there is a significant difference in the Z-score and the factors in the Z-Score model between the group of listed companies and the group of delisted companies, and between companies with low level of financial distress and those with high level of financial distress. From the findings obtained, the authors have made suggestions and recommendations for relevant parties such as the State Securities Commission of Vietnam, users of financial statements, and companies in order to contribute to preventing and limiting the risk of corporate financial distress in the most effective way.

Green supply chain management has gained traction in contemporary times against many environmental catastrophes and scandals involving prominent companies. Despite the strides made by lawmakers to address such challenges, an increasing number of corporations overlook environmental issues such as global warming, ecological concerns, reverse logistics, and global energy. Notwithstanding the contributions in prior studies, to the best of researchers’ knowledge, no study has sought to link corporate environmental performance with suppliers’ credit lending practices. Yet policymakers seek to develop regulations that incorporate the understanding of the collaboration among the supply chain members. Thus, we seek to establish the short-run and long-run dynamics between corporate environmental performance and suppliers’ credit lending. Targeting companies listed in the FTSE/JSE RII, we draw a sample of 21 companies using a judgemental sampling technique. Furthermore, archival data were collected to compute a short panel data set. The panel data set for statistical analysis comprised 21 cross-sections over six years, totalling 126 observations. The study adopted the first differenced econometric models in data analyses, namely Panel Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and, subsequently, Panel Least Squares (PLS), Wald Test, and Impulse Response Functions (IRF). Findings indicated a statistically significant positive relationship exists in the long run between corporate environmental performance and suppliers’ credit lending. Conversely, the same endogenous variables produced a statistically significant negative relationship in the short run. The study contributes new insights to supply chain management literature and renders novel policy implications for lawmakers.

Fintech, financial inclusion, and sustainable development in the African region
Authors: Tidjani Chemseddine , Madouri Abderazak
Published: April 2024

In this study, we explore the nexus between sustainable development and finance, with a specific focus on the African region–a critical yet underexplored context in the existing literature. Against the backdrop of evolving challenges in financial inclusion, improved access, and the growing prevalence of financial technology (FinTech), we aim to fill a research gap by investigating the connection between FinTech, financial inclusion, and sustainable development. The empirical exploration spans 25 African countries from 2011 to 2019, employing econometric methods such as dynamic panel (SGMM two-steps) and static panel (OLS, FE, LSDV). Utilizing key indicators like Adjusted Net Savings (ANS) and Gross Saving rate (GS), our findings reveal a substantial positive impact of financial inclusion and FinTech on sustainable development. However, an intriguing discovery emerges as the interaction between these variables exhibits a weak negative and significant effect. As a unique contribution to the existing literature, we estimate marginal effects at various levels of FinTech and financial inclusion on sustainable development. Beyond insights, our study offers vital policy recommendations, emphasizing the necessity for improved collaboration among financial service providers to avoid redundancy. Furthermore, we highlight the critical need to expand financial infrastructure, advocate for FinTech promotion, and foster inter-African cooperation.
