The focus of this monograph is the electronic conclusion of private law contracts. The authors explore the conditions for valid electronic private law negotiations and the obstacles to their wider use or to the relevant decision-making process. The book also addresses issues arising in today's society in the context of electronic contracting, such as alternative technologies and tools for electronic contracting, and specific subjects (e.g. consumers). Finally, the authors discuss the enforcement of obligations under electronically signed contracts in the context of their evidentiary reliability. The authors consider these issues not only from the perspective of the Czech legal system, but also through the prism of European regulations, in particular the eIDAS regulation and its proposed revision. The European Union's strategic documents and current trends in the area of electronic legal transactions are also considered.
Not So Logical, After All – Public Managers’ Understandings of Media
Authors: Fredriksson Magnus , Pallas Josef
Published: June 2024

In this paper, we investigate how public organizations, through their senior managers, perceive media-related activities and to what extent these perceptions support the existence of a ‘media logic.’ We interviewed 64 managers from 40 Swedish government agencies and compared their perceptions related to media with their perceptions related to the corporate logic, which has become vital in public sector contexts. The findings reveal that media and media-oriented activities are understood as contextual, contingent, and driven by individual events. In contrast to the understandings of management and strategy (i.e. corporate logic), which was much more coherent, universal, and aligned to sectoral conditions. Accordingly, media are generally more open for interpretations, local adaptations, and contextualization, making it difficult to provide clear-cut answers to what media means for public organizations. Our study suggests that public managers understand media in a manner that challenges the media logic rationale. We also challenge an institutional logic argument that institutional structures surrounding public organizations are, in general, to be seen as open for strategic responses. Our results point in another direction. The way managers understand different institutional structures, such as those associated with media, are, to a much greater extent, characterized by uncertainty linked to a lack of necessary knowledge about what constitutes the underlying qualities of the structures at hand; and by ambiguity about what meanings to mobilize and follow when institutional structures are to be introduced into specific organizational contexts.

The digital-based smart campus system, consisting of components such as the campus application, digital presence with QR code, and campus development dashboard, is one of the services offered by Telkom University Jakarta Campus. In addition, it utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) technology, especially image recognition, to support the Green Campus concept and increase environmental protection efforts, demonstrating the university's dedication to utilizing innovative technologies for a sustainable future. Therefore, the security of information assets is very important. Issues of confidentiality, integrity, and availability can arise if the information security system is not properly managed. This research aims to improve the security information system by conducting a risk assessment using the OCTAVE method. This risk assessment aims to identify the most significant impacts when risks occur and prioritize the most important risks. According to ISO/IEC 27001:2013, safety controls and targets are established. The results of this research are purpose and security management documents, risk management documents, and operational standards of procedures (SOPs). Risk management documents related to information security include risk assessment, risk identification, risk analysis, and evaluation at the campus. Standard Operational Procedures (SOP) documentation includes policy documents, work instructions, and work records that are consistent with the selection of objective controls and security controls for risk management.
Embryonic diapause: a unique stage of development
Authors: Beachler Theresa
Published: June 2024

Embryonic diapause is a unique stage of development that occurs in some mammalian species. Diapause serves as an evolutionary reproductive strategy to maximize the survivability of dam and offspring. Although individual mechanisms of control vary among species, the overarching physiology of diapause extends the length of pregnancy to delay parturition until either seasonal, environmental, nutritional, or internal physiologic constraints are optimal for parturition and rearing of young. This review discusses concepts and highlights control mechanisms unique to rodents, mink, and tammar wallabies.

Background: Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is an acute infectious disease caused by an intestinal virus with typical clinical manifestations: bullous rash on the hands, feet, buttocks, or mouth ulcers. The disease can spread very quickly from one child to another through two fecaloral and respiratory routes. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is one of the most common acute infectious diseases in Vietnam. Most cases of the disease are mild. However, the disease can become severe and cause dangerous complications leading to death if not detected early and treated promptly. Objectives: 1) To describe the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of hand, foot, and mouth disease in children treated at the Infection Department of Can Tho Children's Hospital. 2) To analyze factors related to the severity of hand, foot, and mouth disease in children treated at the Infection Department of Can Tho Children's Hospital. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study with analysis. Results: General characteristics for men (60.5%), age group 12-24 months 43.5%, the reason for hospitalization is fever (95.5%), mouth ulcers (66.5%), rash, acne water (39%). The severity of hand, foot, and mouth disease is statistically significantly related to white blood cell count >=16x1G/l (p=0.0001) and platelet count >=400x109/l (p=0.0001). There is no relationship between hand, foot, and mouth severity with gender characteristics (p=0.980), age group (p=0.259), diet in the first 6 months (p=0.566), and education level (p=0.293), place of residence (p=0.948), number of days of onset before admission (p=0.171) and initial management (p=0.701). Conclusion: Factors such as white blood cell count (p = 0.001) and platelet count (p = 0.001) were statistically significant in the severity of hand, foot, and mouth disease (p < 0.05). There is no relationship between age group, gender, diet, education level, number of days of onset, and initial treatment with the severity of HFMD.

Published: June 2024

Background: The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has been recognized as a major and common sexually transmitted infection associated with various types of cancer in both men and women. More than 200 genotypes of HPVs were identified, each exhibiting distinct specificity for tissues and infection. In addition, the rate of HPV infection has gradually increased in both males and females. According to research conducted in Vietnam and around the world, men diagnosed with HPV infection may experience various complications, including those affecting the coronal sulcus, semen, as well as the scrotal, perianal, and anal regions. However, there is still limited research on HPV knowledge, especially among male students. In particular, there have been few studies conducted among male healthcare students in Vietnam.  Objectives: To evaluate the knowledge of HP and to identify relevant factors influencing HPV knowledge among male students at the Faculty of Nursing and Medical Technology, Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 174 male students of the Faculty of Nursing and Medical Technology from July to September 2023 using convenience sampling methods. A self-administered anonymous questionnaire established by Susan Mary Sherman in English n and Tran Luong Xuan Phuoc in Vietnamese was used in this study to investigate the demographic information, and knowledge toward HPV. Results: Overall, 174 surveys were completed, representing a response rate of 94.57%. Among male students, 68.39% demonstrated a "good knowledge" of HPV. Academic year was identified as the main factor influencing HPV knowledge, with a significantly higher proportion of fourth-year male students exhibiting greater knowledge compared to other academic levels (p < 0.05). Conclusion: While the majority of male students demonstrated a high level of knowledge about HPV, there is still a need for strengthening health education and policies related to HPV knowledge.

Background: Sleep quality is commonly defined in terms of total sleep time, onset latency, sleep efficiency and others. Sleep disturbances are a common health complaint that is expected to surge and have more important consequences in adults, especially in health science students, namely nursing students and midwifery students. Moreover, we have recorded a few studies that have been carried out on sleep quality. Objectives: This study aims to survey the current level of sleep quality among nursing students at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy and determine factors affecting students' sleep quality. Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional research was conducted on 294 nursing students at the Faculty of Nursing - Medical Technology, Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy from June to August 2023 through a self-report questionnaire. The participants were 294 nursing students, including nursing and midwifery students. The selfreport questionnaire included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and some questions about the characteristics of research subjects such as the features of external environments, learning activities, and personal activities. The PSQI in the study was used in the Vietnamese, and the reliability was evaluated by Trinh My Linh and colleagues with Cronbach's alpha reliability of 0.67. The data were analyzed using the chi-square test and logistic regression. Results: Our study involved 189 students (64.29% response rate). The total students' sleep quality score was 7.18 ± 3.63, which indicated 71.43% of students had sleep disorders. The major factors were self-study time, being disturbed by light in the bedroom and using mobile devices before bed, which were factors related to students' sleep quality (p<0.05). Conclusion: The portion of sleep disorders among nursing students reached large figures. Henceforth, training institutions need to develop health education programs about enhancing the quality of sleep as well as personal lifestyles and self-study methods to help orient and improve the quality of training and quality of life of students.

Background: Pneumonia is a very common disease in children, especially children under 5 years old, due to their immature immune system not being able to fight against environmental pathogens. Malnutrition affects the severity and outcome of pneumonia treatment. Objectives: 1) To describe the results of pneumonia treatment in acute malnutrition children from 2 months to 5 years old. 2) To determine the relationship between acute malnutrition and the results of pneumonia treatment in children from 2 months to 5 years old. Materials and method: 174 children with pneumonia with acute malnutrition from 2 months to 5 years old are receiving inpatient treatment at Can Tho Children's Hospital, Disease group: Children diagnosed with pneumonia according to the Ministry of Health 2014: Children with cough, fever accompanied by at least one of the signs of rapid breathing according to age, chest indrawing (the lower part of the chest indents during inhalation), or rales lung abnormalities (moisture rales, bronchial rales, crackles, etc.) [6]. AND children diagnosed with acute malnutrition according to the Ministry of Health 2016: Children have 1 of 2 anthropometric conditions: arm circumference (MUAC) or weight for height (CN/CC) lower than the normal threshold for age and gender (in which, severe malnutrition with MUAC<115 mm or CN/CC<-3SD, moderate malnutrition with 115mm≤MUAC<125mm or -3SD≤CN/CC<-2SD) [7]. Control group: children diagnosed with pneumonia without acute malnutrition. Disease control research. Results: Some characteristics after treatment: antibiotic combination was 28.2%, antibiotic change counted for 31.6%, respiratory support was 19.0%, intensive care unit transfer was 6.9%, curative treatment results was 98.7%. There is a significant correlation between acute malnutrition with pneumonia and the characteristics of treatment outcomes: severe pneumonia (p<0.001), combined with antibiotics (p<0.001), respiratory support (p=0.012) and transfer to Intensive Care Unit (p=0.017). Acute malnutrition with pneumonia was not significantly different from changing antibiotics (p<0.625) and death after treatment (p=0.560). Conclusion: Acute malnutrition is statistically significantly different from the severity of pneumonia, antibiotic combination, respiratory support, and transfer to the Intensive Care Unit.

This paper provides a revision of the morphological characters that can be used in the current taxonomy of Lepismatidae, and methodological guidelines for identification of silverfish, which requires the use of light microscope and can be helped by scanning electron microscopy. As a main objective, an updated key for the identification of all the genera of the world as they are established to date is provided and the incomplete knowledge of some of them is commented on. The insufficient knowledge of the diversity and geographic distribution of the six subfamilies of Lepismatidae is discussed, noting the most important shortcomings and problematic issues related to taxa belonging to this family, including the challenges for carrying out a comprehensive phylogeny of the group. Special attention is paid to the subfamily Ctenolepismatinae, the most diverse of Lepismatidae, erecting a new genus, Caribesella gen. nov., for the Caribbean species C. impudica comb. nov., which was previously included inside the genus Acrotelsella. We also consider that Sceletolepisma stat. nov. (i.e., sensu Irish 1987, including species with several median urosternal bristle-combs) deserves the status of a genus independent of Ctenolepisma, which, considered s. str. (i.e., lacking median urosternal combs), represents a heterogeneous group that requires further revision.

This article discusses the extensive academic practices of Hadith scholars. They undertook journeys to seek authentic or sahih Hadiths. The primary aim of this research is to safeguard the authenticity and originality of the Prophet's Hadiths. The method used is descriptive analysis, which explains the urgency of these scholarly activities. The scholarly tradition of Hadith search began during the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), continued by his companions and the Tabi'in, and subsequent generations. Al-Baghdadi explains that their journeys had two main objectives: first, to ensure the highest sanad (chain of narration) and to hear directly from the Prophet (PBUH) himself; second, to meet, discuss, and learn from Hadith experts (huffâzh). Thus, this article provides a detailed description of how Hadith scholars from various generations made significant efforts to preserve the authenticity of Hadith, using descriptive analysis to illustrate the urgency of their scholarly activities in the ritual tradition of Hadith search.

Background and Objectives: ABO blood groups have been associated with the pathogenesis of various diseases and their association with COVID-19 disease severity and anti-SARS CoV-2 IgG antibody response have been largely studied. This study aimed at determining the association between COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) donor ABO blood groups and post-infection anti-SARS CoV-2 IgG antibody levels. Materials and Methods: A total of 404 CCP donors were included in the study conducted from September 2020 to May 2021. Donor samples were tested for anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody level (S/CO value) using VITROS Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG chemiluminescence immunoassay which is a qualitative assay. Blood groups and number of donations with low (S/CO=1.0-4.42), medium (S/CO=4.62-18.45) and high levels (S/CO >18.45) of the antibody were compared using Chi-square test. Antibody levels during three stratified post-infection periods (0-60 days, 61-120 days and >120 days) in different blood groups were compared using Kruskal Wallis ANOVA test, while inter-blood group comparisons of antibody levels were performed by independent t-tests. Result: Mean antibody level was the lowest in O group (17.22±9.2) followed by A (17.59±11.4), B (18.21±10.7) and AB (19.91±9.7) groups. Analysis of antibody levels according to blood groups was statistically insignificant (p value > 0.05). Antibody levels during stratified post-infection periods according to blood groups as well as inter-blood group comparisons of antibody levels were also not significant. Conclusion: AB blood group had the highest but not significant anti-SARS CoV-2 IgG antibody levels. However, ABO blood groups do not influence antibody levels in CCP donors irrespective of post-infection period.

In this study, some physical properties of wood heat treated with vegetable oil were examined. While Oriental beech (Fagus Orientalis L.) wood was preferred as the wood material, corn oil was preferred as the vegetable-based oil. In the study, oil heat treatment temperatures and times were carried out at 150 °C and 210 °C for 2.5 hours and 5 hours, respectively. After oil heat treatment, the physical properties of the wood specimens, such as oven-dry and air-dry density and water absorption levels, were examined according to TS ISO 13061-2 2472 standard. According to the results obtained, the oven-dry and air-dry densities of the oil heat treated specimens increased compared to the control specimens. Among the oil heat treated specimens, the highest oven-dry density value was determined in the specimens heat treated at 150 0C for 2.5 hours. Besides; Among the oil heat treated specimens, the highest air dry density value was determined in the specimens heat treated at 210 0C for 2.5 hours. In the study, according to the water absorption test results, oil heat treated specimens had lower water absorption compared to control specimens. Additionally, after a 120-hour water absorption period; While the lowest water absorption, 49.94%, was determined in the specimens subjected to oil heat treatment at 150 0C for 5 hours, the highest water absorption was determined in the control specimens, with 80.51%. In summary, the oil heat treatment method with corn oil was effective in increasing the density of the wood material and reducing water absorption.
