Authors: Karanikola Maria , Georganta Katerina , Kaikoushi Katerina , Koutroubas Virginia Sunday , Kalafati Despoina
Published: February 2025

Background: Excessive work-related demands and inadequate support systems are important risks for employees’ health status and quality of life. Although an abundance of data exists about leadership and the occupational health of various vocational groups, there are relatively few studies on leaders’ well-being and related psychosocial hazards in educational organizations, such as primary schools. Methods: Work-related distressing experiences in primary school principals focusing on associated factors and the impact of these experiences on them were investigated. A qualitative methodology with a census and purposeful sampling was applied, utilizing the inductive content analysis approach. Overall, 20 males and 6 females participated, all employed in a rural region of Greece. Following informed consent, data collection was achieved through three focus groups with repetitive interviews. Results: The absence of a robust and well-defined legal framework to govern the authority, duties, and responsibilities of principals, evident in the lack of legally established procedures and protocols, was identified as the root cause of the participants’ distressing experiences. Three distressing phenomena were identified: (a) Challenging interpersonal relations due to lack of a regulatory system regarding school functioning; (b) Current educational policy and legal framework, characterized by too many responsibilities and no adequate power; (c) Irrelevant topics and time frame for continuing education projects toward principals. Conclusions: The study findings highlight the critical challenges faced by primary school principals due to the absence of a clear legal framework and the instability of educational policies. The findings suggest that policy reforms are needed to provide principals with greater clarity in their roles and responsibilities. Additionally, addressing the constant changes in educational policy could help create a more stable and manageable school environment. A participatory action research project, including stakeholders from primary school leaders, managers, pupils, and parents, is proposed, focused on the development of a comprehensive plan to overcome the challenges of the current context, also aiming to enhance empathy in all parties.

Authors: Wubuli Abulimiti , Li Fangfang , Zhou Chenxi , Zhang Lingling , Jiang Jiaru
Published: February 2025

The management of highway diseases has entered an era of big data, necessitating advanced methodologies to handle complex, heterogeneous data from diverse sources. This study introduces a novel approach that integrates knowledge graphs and Bayesian networks to enhance the intelligent diagnosis of highway diseases, addressing the unique challenges of road maintenance in diverse geographical contexts. A Bayesian network model was developed by combining expert knowledge with local data features, mathematically representing diagnostic knowledge through a probability matrix. Training data were utilized to compute and identify the optimal Bayesian network, forming the basis of an intelligent diagnostic framework. Empirical analysis of maintenance records from highways in Xinjiang demonstrated the efficiency of this framework, accurately diagnosing both common and specialized diseases while outperforming traditional methods. This approach not only supports intelligent knowledge management and application in highway maintenance but also provides a scalable solution adaptable to varied geographical conditions. The findings offer a pathway for advancing highway disease management, promoting more efficient, precise, and sustainable road maintenance practices.
Creating an Alternative Governance for Phosphorus Circularity Through Framings That Strengthen Intersectoral Policy Coherence in the EU: Constraints and Implementation Possibilities
Authors: Kalpakchiev Teodor , Jacobs Brent , Fraundorfer Markus , Martin-Ortega Julia , Cordell Dana
Published: February 2025

Phosphorus’ availability and pricing is critical for the entire food system. Transformative phosphorus governance is required to reduce the European Union’s fertiliser vulnerability. At the same time, the EU’s governance approach is constrained by multiple problem definitions and missing salient framings that could make phosphorus recovery a priority of the EU’s decision-making agenda. The article addresses this policy gap by gathering and discussing different institutional and stakeholder framings that could inform a transition to a transformed phosphorus governance. We combine triangulated methods (framing as an analytical heuristic, semi-structured expert interviews, document analysis, and conference observations) with Kingdon’s three streams of agenda-setting as a conceptual framework to identify alternative intersectoral framings of phosphorus sustainability. Our findings suggest that the window of opportunity filled by the EU’s Fertiliser Affordability Communication supports a decarbonisation pathway that fails to emphasise the potential of emergent framings supporting phosphorus recovery. We analyse these framings and suggest that a new window of opportunity for their elevation on the EU’s decision-making agenda is opening with the inauguration of a new European Commission. We propose five alternatives that apply powerful spillover framings to implement phosphorus governance that is synchronous with the commission’s sectoral priorities. We believe that an extension of the EU’s current environmental policy along these pathways can potentially contribute to phosphorus sustainability.

Published: February 2025

This study discusses the optimization of municipal solid waste management through the implementation of automated waste sorting systems, comparing two advanced artificial intelligence methodologies: Vertex AI and convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures, developed using TensorFlow. Automated solid waste classification is presented as an innovative technological approach that leverages advanced algorithms to accurately identify and segregate materials, addressing the inherent limitations of conventional sorting methods, such as high labor dependency, inaccuracies in material separation, and constrained scalability for processing large waste volumes. A system was designed for the classification of paper, plastic, and metal waste, integrating an Arduino Uno microcontroller, a Raspberry Pi, a high-resolution camera, and a robotic manipulator. The system was evaluated based on performance metrics including classification accuracy, response time, scalability, and implementation cost. The findings revealed that Xception achieved a flawless classification accuracy of 100% with an average processing time of 0.25 s, whereas Vertex AI, with an accuracy of 90% and a response time of 2 s, exceled in cloud scalability, making it ideal for resource-constrained environments. The findings highlight Xception’s superiority in high-precision applications and Vertex AI’s adaptability in scenarios demanding flexible deployment, advancing efficient and sustainable waste management solutions.
Human Behavioural Traits and the Polycrisis: A Systematic Review
Authors: King Nick , Jones Aled
Published: February 2025

Polycrisis has recently emerged as a term to capture the human predicament, and analyses of the drivers of this have identified causes such as economic growth. However, identification of the fundamental, underpinning causes is needed to effectively mitigate the polycrisis, and human behavioural traits are likely to comprise such fundamental drivers. Specifically, traits that have become maladaptive in the context of modernity are particularly important. We identify three particular maladaptations that are likely the most direct contributors to the polycrisis: warfare; resource overexploitation; and human cognitive biases. A systematic literature review using these maladaptations identified key studies from which behavioural traits underpinning the maladaptations were highlighted. These identified traits form the basis of suggested leverage points in the global system to reduce the likelihood of a polycrisis.

Authors: Al-Dayel Ibrahim , Khan Meraj Ali , Chaubey Sudhakar Kumar
Published: February 2025

This study is focused on pioneering new upper bounds on mean curvature and constant sectional curvature relative to the first positive eigenvalue of the generalized Laplacian operator in the differentiable manifolds with a semi-symmetric metric connection. Multiple approaches are being explored to determine the principal eigenvalue for the generalized-Laplacian operator in closed oriented-slant submanifolds within a Sasakian space form (ssf) with a semi-symmetric metric (ssm) connection. By utilizing our findings on the Laplacian, we extend several Reilly-type inequalities to the generalized Laplacian on slant submanifolds within a unit sphere with a semi-symmetric metric (ssm) connection. The research is concluded with a detailed examination of specific scenarios.

Published: February 2025

Aquaculture wastewater treatment not only assists in alleviating the scarcity of clean water for daily usage and environmental pollution, but also generates valuable byproducts. This paper aims to review the generation of wastewater from the aquaculture sector, its characteristics, and available treatment technologies, while comprehensively discussing the adoption of a biocircular economy approach through waste valorization. With rich nutrients, such as nitrogenous compounds, and the presence of phosphorus in the aquaculture effluent, these aspects could be explored and valorized into biofertilizers, broadening their application in aquaponics and hydroponics, as well as in algae and daphnid cultivation. Biofertilizer can also be used in agriculture because it contains essential elements needed by plants. Thus, methods of converting nutrients into biofertilizers in terms of sludge recovery can be accomplished via anaerobic and aerobic digestion, drying, composting, and vermicomposting. Moving forward, aquaculture effluent recovery is addressed under the biocircular economy by re-engaging aquaculture wastewater effluents into the production cycle. The enhancement of aquaculture effluents and biomass for uses such as aquaponics, hydroponics, algae cultivation, daphnid co-cultivation, and biofertilizers presents valuable opportunities for nutrient recovery while ensuring that non-toxic wastewater can be safely discharged into external water bodies. This approach has the potential to revolutionize wastewater treatment in aquaculture, shifting the economic model of wastewater management from a linear system to a circular, more sustainable one.
First Reported Case of Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitor Resistance in Suriname: Unusual Drug Resistance Mutations Following Exposure to Dolutegravir
Authors: Sno Rachel C. , Culbard Gracia , Adhin Malti R.
Published: February 2025

Contemporary ART as Dolutegravir (DTG) has significantly advanced antiretroviral therapy, but relatively few data are available on its impact on the emergence of HIV-1 drug resistance mutations (DRMs). Monitoring the emergence of INSTI-associated DRMs following the introduction of DTG in Suriname will provide general insight and guide national HIV treatment strategies. All people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Suriname, for whom an INSTI drug resistance test was requested between September 2019 and February 2024 (n = 20), were included. HIV-1 integrase gene sequences were determined using Sanger sequencing. INSTI-associated mutations were identified using the Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database program. The majority of the participants (66.7%) harbored HIV-1 subtype B, and 33.3% were B-recombinant forms. In addition to the INSTI wildtype, a strain was revealed carrying E157EQ and one person harbored a highly INSTI-resistant strain (E138K, G140S, Q148H and N155H). The emergence of a highly INSTI-resistant HIV-1 strain in Suriname, with unusual mutations for ART-experienced PLHIV exposed to DTG as the only INSTI, accentuates the need for continuous monitoring of the emergence of INSTI drug resistance mutations, not only to enable timely interventions and optimized treatment outcomes for PLHIV, but also to steer the decision making for ART protocols, especially for second generation INSTIs.

Authors: Calomfirescu-Avramescu Andreea , Toma Adrian Ioan , Mehedințu Claudia , Năstase Leonard , Dima Vlad
Published: February 2025

Background: In 2022, Romania started an RSV immunoprophylaxis program with Palivizumab for infants at high risk: preterm infants born before 35 weeks of pregnancy, infants born with congenital heart defects, and infants with chronic lung disease. We evaluated treatment adherence from August 2022 to March 2024. Method: We monitored the increase in the number of patients enrolled in the program and the number of collaborating neonatologists, family doctors, and pediatricians. Adherence to all doses of Palivizumab in enrolled patients was assessed by telephone interviews. The factors contributing to reduced adherence were identified. Results: Between August 2022 and March 2024, 1903 patients and 233 specialists were enrolled, a steady increase in both cohorts. The percentage of patients that complete their full sequence of doses decreases along with the number of doses (99% for one dose, 73% for two doses, 47% for three doses, 35% for four doses, and 22% for five doses) due to several factors. Conclusions: The program remains highly regarded by both physicians and caregivers, demonstrating its effectiveness as a valuable resource for educating parents and facilitating monoclonal antibody administration as a prevention method for RSV.

Flood Control in Jackson, Mississippi: A Missed Opportunity to Reduce Inequitable Flooding Impacts?
Authors: Kondolf G Mathias , Herbert Berneece , Dodd Adrienne , Serra-Llobet Anna
Published: February 2025

The city of Jackson, Mississippi, has experienced frequent, devastating floods, with flooding along tributaries of the Pearl River that cross the city being widespread and disproportionately affecting low-income neighborhoods. We reviewed the history of flood management and public access along the Pearl River, conducted community meetings with flood-affected residents, visited tributaries affected by frequent flooding, assessed options to reduce flood risks for Town Creek (a tributary traversing the city center), and reviewed the 2024 Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) by the US Army Corps, which proposed a flood risk management project. Our community meetings, site visits, and interviews with residents highlighted the frequent flooding of low-income neighborhoods along Pearl River tributaries. Thus, a flood risk reduction program should effectively address tributary flooding. In our review of the DEIS, we applied criteria from the National Environmental Protection Act indicating that environmental impact statements should provide a complete identification and description of environmental impact, and found that the DEIS failed to do this. We found that the alternative selected as the likely ‘National Economic Development’ plan would expand real-estate development opportunities while exacerbating flooding in low-income neighborhoods and increasing inequalities in Jackson.
Evaluating the imaging features and the role of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in rectal cancer
Authors: Tran Duy Khiem , Vinh Khanh , Tran Van Huy
Published: February 2025

Background: Colorectal cancer is a common disease, with a high incidence rate in the world as well as in Vietnam. Preoperative staging plays a vital role in prognosis and optimal treatment. In Vietnam, the number of official publications on the role of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in rectal cancer staging is still limited.

Objectives: To describe the imaging features of endoscopic ultrasound in patients with rectal cancer and evaluate the correlation between endoscopic ultrasound results and clinical, endoscopic and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics.

Methods and materials: Forty-eight patients with histologically confirmed rectal cancer underwent endoscopic ultrasound and preoperative staging.

Results: The overall accuracy of T staging of EUS was 76.1%. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for T1 staging were 80.0%, 100.0%, 95.2% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for T2 staging were 55.6%, 91.7%, 76.2% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for T3 staging were 100.0%, 71.4%, 81.0% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for lymph node diagnosis were 40.0%, 93.8%, 81.0% respectively. There was no correlation between clinical manifestations of the patients and the T & N stages. There was a high agreement via EUS and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on evaluating tumor locations. The agreement between EUS and MRI in terms of evaluating the T and N stages was not significant, with Kappa coefficients of 0.182 and 0.39, respectively.

Conclusion: EUS contributes to improving the accuracy in preoperative staging of rectal cancer. Therefore, EUS should be routinely ordered in clinical practice, especially in cases of early-stage rectal cancers when tumors are localized in the mucosa and submucosa, in order to optimize patient treatment.

Key words: ectal cancer; endoscopic ultrasound; magnetic resonance imaging; histopathology.

El concepto de funcionario público en el derecho penal
Authors: Pariona Arana Raúl Belealdo
Published: February 2025

El presente artículo aborda el tema del concepto de funcionario público en el derecho penal, cuyo contenido y alcance constituye uno de los temas centrales de las legislaciones contemporáneas. La dogmática penal moderna ha logrado el desarrollo de un concepto penal de funcionario público autónomo, el cual no se limita a los parámetros del derecho administrativo laboral y que, en el Perú, se ha plasmado en el artículo 425 del Código Penal. Dos son los componentes centrales del concepto de funcionario público a efectos penales: el título habilitante de incorporación a la Administración pública y el ejercicio del cargo público. Desde esta perspectiva doctrinaria, se aborda el problema de la determinación del momento en que se adquiere el estatus de funcionario público en los casos de funcionarios por elección popular. Finalmente, la presente investigación desarrolla con detalle la problemática del «funcionario de hecho o de facto», apoya la ilegitimidad del concepto por no tener amparo legal y lo distingue del caso de la usurpación de funciones. Situación distinta es la del funcionario público con título irregular.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to identify the role of posyandu cadres in stunting prevention efforts in Dukuhsari Village, Candi District, Sidoarjo Regency. This study is based on a qualitative descriptive approach with observation and interview methods and utilizes primary and secondary data. Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem associated with malnutrition due to minimal nutrient absorption in the long term, as explained by Fatimah (2021). Stunting conditions are often difficult for the community to recognize due to the lack of attention paid to the growth and nutritional development of toddlers. Research in Dukuhsari Village shows that posyandu cadres deliver stunting information very effectively through face-to-face meetings. Although posyandu facilities are adequate, cadre training and fundraising are needed. Government support, participation of mothers of toddlers, and involvement of health workers are important for the success of stunting prevention so that posyandu cadres are more active and enthusiastic in carrying out their duties.

Authors: R Kumar, H.
Published: February 2025

The definition of complicated appendicitis has been an area of concern due to the absence of any universal consensus. Complicated appendicitis often means perforation of the appendix with either peritonitis, abscess, or mass formation. The diagnosis of complicated appendicitis is another area where there is no consensus and there is no one investigation that can diagnose this condition. Diagnosis often involves the use of clinical examinations, blood investigations, and imaging modalities. In this chapter, we will look at the definition and diagnosis of complicated appendicitis.

Authors: Heider Ulrike , Solano-Vega Julio , Sandoval-Vargas Y. Gisella , Díaz-Brochero Cándida
Published: February 2025

Introduction

The use of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) has increased in Latin America in recent years. In the absence of an matched-related donor (MRD), haploidentical transplantation has emerged as a potentially curative option with increasing availability in the region. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is an important complication with variable incidence rates depending on the type of transplant. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of acute and chronic GVHD between haploidentical and identical allo-SCT recipients and to analyze factors associated with the development of GVHD during the first year after transplantation.

Methods

Our retrospective cohort study included adult patients with malignant and nonmalignant hematologic pathologies who received allo-SCT between 2014 and 2022 at a transplant center in Bogota, Colombia. Uni- and multivariate analyses were performed to determine factors associated with the development of GVHD.

Results

A total of 152 patients were analyzed, including 108 (71%) transplants from an MRD and 44 (28.9%) transplants from a haploidentical donor. The median age was 45 years. The most common indications for transplantation were acute myeloid leukemia (37.5%) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (36.2%). The incidence of acute GVHD was greater in the haploidentical transplant group (63.0%) than in the MRD group (36.6%) (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of chronic GVHD between the two groups, with 18% and 33% in transplants from haploidentical donors and MRD, respectively (p = 0.09). The factors associated with the development of acute GVHD were relapse (odds ratio [OR] 0.41; 95% CI, 0.13–1.16), female sex (OR 2.34; 95% CI, 0.93–6.1), and age older than 50 years (OR 2.1; 95% CI, 0.81–5.71). The factors associated with the development of chronic GVHD were haploidentical donor status (OR 0.22; 95% CI, 0.05–0.75) and relapse (OR 0.16; 95% CI, 0.04–0.56).

Conclusions

Our study revealed a higher rate of acute GVHD in transplant recipients from a haploidentical donor than in those from MRD, whereas no differences were found for chronic GVHD between the two groups. Sex, age, relapse, and type of transplant were identified as factors associated with the prevalence of GVHD.

Authors: Muratov V.S. , Khamin O.N.
Published: February 2025

Based on the analysis of the structures of the surface layers of castings made of aluminum alloys of the Al–Si, Al–Si–Cu, Al–Cu systems, it is found that their phase composition is the main feature of heredity in the production process of castings by die casting with subsequent application of ion-plasma coatings on them. It is shown that ensuring a single-phase state or grinding of the second phases in the surface layers of castings improves the quality of ion-plasma coatings on them.

ИСЛАМСКИЙ ФАКТОР В НАРОДНО-ОСВОБОДИТЕЛЬНОМ ДВИЖЕНИИ
ГОРЦЕВ СЕВЕРНОГО КАВКАЗА:КОНЕЦ XVIII - СЕРЕДИНА XIX вв.
Authors: Алисханова М.Х.
Published: February 2025

С конца XVIII и до конца 50-х годов XIX века на Северном Кавказе ислам стал идеологией объединения горцев против наступательной политики Российской империи в регионе. Шейх Мансур возглавил народно-освободительное движение, в первую очередь, как духовный исламский, а не военный лидер. Попыткой объединения народов Северного Кавказа на исламской основе, он сделал первый шаг к созданию теократического государства. Однако движение под его руководством было подавлено ещё и потому, что настоящего объединения народов Северного Кавказа добиться, по разным причинам, не удалось. Имам Шамиль, пришедший к власти после Гази-Мухаммада и Гамзат-бека, смог создать имамат - военно-теократическое государство, которое также, в конечном итоге, потерпело поражение в противостоянии с империей.
РЕЛИГИОЗНЫЕ И СВЕТСКИЕ ФАКТОРЫ ВОССТАНИЯ В ЧЕЧНЕВ 1825-1826 гг.
Authors: Гапуров Ш.А.
Published: February 2025

В работе дается анализ идеологической основы освободительного восстания в Чечне в 1825-1826 гг. под руководством Бей-Булата Таймиева. Отмечается, что, в отличие от Дагестана, на рубеже 20-х-30-х гг. Х1Х в., где вовсю разворачивалось в это время мюридистское движение, в чеченском восстании 1825-1826 гг. религиозные факторы еще не играли ведущую роль. Фактическое руководство здесь находилось в руках Бей-Булата Таймиева.

Досліджували результати випробувань коней рисистих порід на КП "Київський іподром" та філії "Одеський іподром" ДП "Конярство України". Встановлено, що коні всіх порід, які випробувались на КП "Київський іподром", за показниками жвавості переважають коней, що випробувались на філії "Одеський іподром", в усіх вікових групах протягом останніх трьох років. Коні орловської рисистої породи мають найнижчі показники жвавості серед представників інших порід, що є логічним та відповідає основним параметрам цієї породи. Найкращі показники жвавості належать коням призових порід, які є метисами колишньої російської рисистої, французької, стандартбредної та франко-американськими помісями.
РОЗРОБКА ТА ВПРОВАДЖЕННЯ ЕЛЕМЕНТІВ ЕНЕРГООЩАДНОЇ ГОДІВЛІ СВИНЕЙ В УМОВАХ ОБМЕЖЕНИХ КОРМОВИХ РЕСУРСІВ ПІД ЧАС ВІЙСЬКОВОГО СТАНУ

Published: February 2025

Пропонуємо наступну стратегію впровадження елементів енергоощадної годівлі свиней в умовах обмежених кормових ресурсів під час військового стану, яка полягає в тому, що для молодняку свиней на етапі дорощування з 8,0 до 30,0 кг, який залишається ще достатньо вибагливим до умов годівлі та при цьому має високу інтенсивність росту, намагаємося збалансувати раціони годівлі максимально близькими до існуючого оптимуму, оскільки інтенсивність росту у цей період ще обумовлює інтенсивність росту на заключному етапі відгодівлі, на якому і можна буде дійсно заощадити. Заощадження на етапі відгодівлі, де, як правило, використовується 60,0-70,0 % кормів від валових витрати свинокомплексу, що в рази перевищує аналогічний критерій на етапі дорощування, будуть більш суттєвими.
