Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of surgical excision combined with a single shot of vincristine sulfate for treating transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) in dogs.
Materials and Methods: Fifty-two dogs were divided randomly into two groups (n = 26). Dogs in Group I were treated surgically by debulking the tumorous mass, whereas dogs in Group II were subjected to a combination of surgery and a single injection of vincristine sulfate.
Results: Female dogs showed a high prevalence of TVT compared to males (67.3%, n = 35 vs. 32.7%, n = 17), respectively. The German shepherd’s breed showed a high prevalence of TVT compared to other breeds. There was a positive association between sex and outcomes. Most occurrences of regret in Group II were reported in females (n = 16, 61.5%) compared to male dogs (n = 10, 38.5%). There was also a positive association between breed and outcome. Most occurrences of regret in Group II were reported in German shepherd dogs (n = 16) compared to Group I (n = 7). In Group I, 15 dogs (57.7%) showed a complete regression, and 11 (42.3%) underwent recurrence. However, in Group II, 21 dogs (80.7%) showed a complete regression, and 5 dogs (19.2 %) underwent recurrence.
Conclusions: It appears therefore that the simultaneous use of surgery and administration of a single dose of vincristine sulfate could be considered a combination therapy for TVT as it reduces the risk of recurrence and has a reasonable cost. Recognizing potential risk factors associated with TVT in dogs may be helpful in constructing the best preventive measures.

Objective: This study was conducted to isolate and identify probiotic bacteria from wild stinging catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis), a very popular high-valued aquaculture species of Bangladesh. The isolates were identified through conventional culture-based and molecular techniques.
Materials and Methods: Stinging catfish harvested from natural sources of three sampling sites under two districts (Kishoreganj and Netrakona) were collected, dissected for gut content, and cultured onto Lactobacillus MRS Agar plates. Out of 60 bacterial isolates obtained, 10 were cho¬sen for an in vitro evaluation of their probiotic potentials through pH and bile tolerance tests. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the selected isolates were searched against the NCBI database using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool for Nucleotides (BLASTNs).
Results: The isolates were identified as Staphylococcus arlettae, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus succinus, Bacillus velezensis, Kocuria subflava, Macrococcus caseolyticus, Lysinibacillus sphaeri¬cus, Glutamicibacter mysorens, Bacillus cereus, and Acinetobacter lwoffii. Among them, B. subtilis, S. succinus, B. velezensis, M. caseolyticus, G. mysorens, and B. cereus exhibited notable growth across all tested pH levels (pH 2, 3, and 4) and bile salt concentrations (0.3%, 0.5%, and 1.0%) sug¬gesting that they have strong potential as probiotic bacteria. In addition, S. arlettae also indicated promising growth except at pH 2. L. sphaericus and K. subflava exhibited limited growth at low pH but tolerated bile salt concentrations. A. lwoffii did not show any growth at pH tests but minimal growth at the lower concentrations of bile salts.
Conclusion: According to the potentiality assessments and previous literature reviews, five iso¬lates such as B. subtilis, S. succinus, M. caseolyticus, G. mysorens, and B. cereus were identified as potential probiotic bacteria. As species-specific probiotics are considered to perform more effec¬tively and efficiently than unknown-sourced commercial probiotics, the findings of this study will be applicable in enhancing the aquaculture production of stinging catfish.

Published: October 2024

Objective: This study aims to synthesize eco-friendly zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) by utilizing Garcinia mangostana leaf extract and assess the characteristics of ZnO NPs produced throughout different calcination temperatures (300°C, 400°C, 500°C, and 600°C).
Materials and Methods: An evaluation was conducted to analyze ZnO NPs using an aqueous extract of G. mangostana leaf bioreductor at different calcination temperatures. The analysis involved the use of a particle size analyzer (PSA), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.
Results: The PSA and SEM indicated that the ZnO NPs had an average particle size ranging from 641.97 nm to 915.94 nm. Furthermore, the nanoparticles were found in both individual nanoforms and agglomerated forms. The EDX study indicated that the primary constituents of the ZnO NPs were zinc and oxygen. Additionally, the XRD examination demonstrated a distinct peak at 2θ = 36.25°, confirming the presence of a crystalline ZnO structure. The crystal size was determined to be between 40.98 nm and 46.92 nm. An FTIR spectroscopic study verified the existence of ZnO vibrations at distinct wavelengths as well as the absorption peak of the -OH functional group within the range of 3330.58 nm–3415.04 nm.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that ZnO NPs produced utilizing the aqueous extract of G. mangostana leaves as a bioreductor can be synthesized at a temperature of 300°C, resulting in a lower particle size compared to those generated at 600°C.

Authors: Bashar Muhammad , Sarker Nathu , Sultana Nasrin , Hossain Sheikh
Published: October 2024

Objective: The current study evaluated the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of dairy cattle through the Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model (GLEAM) model and illustrated potential mitigation strategies by modifying nutrition interventions.
Materials and Methods: A semi-structural questionnaire was developed to calculate dairy animal GHG emissions. This study comprised 40 farmers from four districts: river basin (Pabna), drought-prone (Chapainobabganj), floodplain (Nilphamari), and saline-prone (Sathkhira) areas. Ten lac¬tating cows (two cows from each farmer) were also selected to collect information on feeding practices, feed resources, feed intake (roughages and concentrate), water intake, and production and reproductive parameters for 7 days at each site during two seasons: dry (November– February) and wet (June–October).
Results: The GHG emissions from the river basin area were significantly (p < 0.05) higher due to low-quality roughages (75%), whereas CH4/kg of milk production was the lowest (77.0 gm). In contrast, the area that frequently experiences drought showed a different pattern. For instance, the generation of CH4 from enteric fermentation was 1187.4 tons/year, while the production of CH4 and N2O from manure management was 323.1 tons/year and 4.86 tons/year, respectively. In comparison to other climatic areas, these values were the lowest because the supply of green grass was twice as abundant as in the other climatic areas (40%). The quantity of CH4/kg of milk produced in an area susceptible to drought did not vary.
Conclusion: Implementing feeding systems in drought-prone areas is a successful approach to reducing GHG emissions in the dairy industry in Bangladesh. Consequently, implementing feed-balancing techniques can enhance productivity and foster environmentally sustainable ani¬mal production.

Published: October 2024

Background:
Intestinal helminth infections in cats are often-neglected major zoonoses spread from pets to humans worldwide.

Aim:
This study evaluated the prevalence and identified risk factors associated with zoonotic gastrointestinal helminth infections in different cat populations in the most populous megapolitan areas of Indonesia: Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek).

Methods:
Fecal samples from the shelter (stray) and household (owned) cats were analyzed using sugar flotation techniques. Intestinal helminth eggs were detected microscopically based on structural and morphometric characteristics. Risk factors for the occurrence of helminth infection were identified through statistical analysis of cat ownership, breed, migrant status, management practices, caging, feed type, and deworming medications used. Human cases of worm larvae infestation identified during the interviews were reported.

Results:
Analysis of 354 fecal samples revealed that 37.9% (134/354) of examined cats were infected with Toxocara sp., 22.6% (80/354) with Ancylostoma sp., 25.4% (90/354) with Uncinaria sp., 3.1% (11/354) with Strongyloides sp., 2% (7/354) with Diphyllobothrium sp., and 0.6% (2/354) with Dipylidium sp. Infection with roundworms and hookworms was associated with a variety of factors, including introduction of new animals, management practices, cage cleanliness, feed type, use of deworming medication, routine deworming, and contact with other animals. A human case of cutaneous larva migrans was due to hookworm (Ancylostoma sp./Uncinaria sp.) infection.

Conclusion:
The prevalence of important zoonotic gastrointestinal nematodes (hookworms and roundworms) is high in cats in Jabodetabek, Indonesia. To reduce the risk of transmission to other animals or humans, adequate measures to control, manage, and prevent zoonotic helminth infections are required. This study presents important baseline information that provides a basis for future epidemiologic studies and development of strategies to manage zoonotic gastrointestinal helminth in cats in the region.

This study examines the effectiveness of Content-Based Instruction (CBI) in enhancing Maritime English proficiency among cadets at Sorong Merchant Marine Polytechnic. A quantitative approach was used, employing pre-test and post-test evaluations, along with a questionnaire to assess cadets’ language development and perceptions. The study involved 24 fourth-semester cadets in the Nautical Studies program. Results showed a significant improvement in Maritime English proficiency, with average test scores increasing from 69.7 (pre-test) to 95.7 (post-test), demonstrating a substantial 26-point improvement. Statistical analysis (paired t-test, p < 0.05) confirmed the significance of this improvement. The questionnaire results indicated that cadets viewed the CBI approach as highly effective, with an average satisfaction score of 4.5 out of 5. This research highlights the success of CBI in bridging the gap between language acquisition and real-world maritime contexts, suggesting it could serve as a valuable model for Maritime English instruction in similar educational settings.

Perspectives on non-emergent neonatal intensive care unit to pediatric intensive care unit care transfers in the United States
Authors: Cohen Phillip D , Boss Renee D , Stockwell David C , Bernier Meghan , Collaco Joseph M , Kudchadkar Sapna R
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND

There is a substantial population of long-stay patients who non-emergently transfer directly from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) without an interim discharge home. These infants are often medically complex and have higher mortality relative to NICU or PICU-only admissions. Given an absence of data surrounding practice patterns for non-emergent NICU to PICU transfers, we hypothesized that we would encounter a broad spectrum of current practices and a high proportion of dissatisfaction with current processes.

AIM

To characterize non-emergent NICU to PICU transfer practices across the United States and query PICU providers’ evaluations of their effectiveness.

METHODS

A cross-sectional survey was drafted, piloted, and sent to one physician representative from each of 115 PICUs across the United States based on membership in the PARK-PICU research consortium and membership in the Children’s Hospital Association. The survey was administered via internet (REDCap). Analysis was performed using STATA, primarily consisting of descriptive statistics, though logistic regressions were run examining the relationship between specific transfer steps, hospital characteristics, and effectiveness of transfer.

RESULTS

One PICU attending from each of 81 institutions in the United States completed the survey (overall 70% response rate). Over half (52%) indicated their hospital transfers patients without using set clinical criteria, and only 33% indicated that their hospital has a standardized protocol to facilitate non-emergent transfer. Fewer than half of respondents reported that their institution’s non-emergent NICU to PICU transfer practices were effective for clinicians (47%) or patient families (38%). Respondents evaluated their centers’ transfers as less effective when they lacked any transfer criteria (P = 0.027) or set transfer protocols (P = 0.007). Respondents overwhelmingly agreed that having set clinical criteria and standardized protocols for non-emergent transfer were important to the patient-family experience and patient safety.

CONCLUSION

Most hospitals lacked any clinical criteria or protocols for non-emergent NICU to PICU transfers. More positive perceptions of transfer effectiveness were found among those with set criteria and/or transfer protocols.

Navigating the digital tax landscape: The impact of service quality factors on E-filing adoption among individual taxpayers in Jakarta
Authors: Parso Parso , Nugroho Mulyanto , Hwihanus Hwihanus
Published: October 2024

Tax administration digitization improves taxpayer experience through e-filing, supported by service quality, trust, and information technology. This study integrates electronic service quality to understand the decision to use E-filing, offering a comprehensive approach with the E-Filling model to create digital records that are easily accessible. This study analyzes the effect of quality factors on the use of E-filing, with mediation from perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. The study design uses an explanatory with a causal approach to confirm the relationship between variables related to the use of e-filing by taxpayers in Jakarta. Samples were taken from 10,580,475 taxpayers, with 150 respondents based on certain criteria. Primary data were collected through an online survey using a Likert scale. The measurement model was tested for validity and reliability, as well as structural analysis to assess the relationship between variables using path coefficients and bootstrapping analysis for significance. The coefficient of determination (R²) and path analysis were also conducted to measure the impact of mediating variables. The study shows that of the various service quality factors, only responsiveness has a significant effect on the perception of e-filing usefulness with a T-statistic of 3.253 and a P value of 0.001. Meanwhile, the informativeness, reliability, and system availability factors do not show a significant effect on the perception of ease and usefulness, indicating the need for improvement in information delivery and system reliability. High responsiveness is very important in supporting positive perceptions of the usefulness of the e-filing system. Path analysis shows that neither perceived ease of use nor perceived usefulness affect the actual use of e-filing, with R Square only explaining 2.6% of the variation in use. Although the research model shows an adequate fit with an NFI of 0.786, improvements are still needed to increase e-filing adoption. Thus, focusing on improving responsiveness and optimizing other factors is needed to improve user experience. It is necessary to improve the responsiveness of the e-filing system and improve informativeness, reliability, and system availability to improve user perception. Future research is suggested to develop interventions for service factors that are not yet significant and explore other elements that influence e-filing adoption.
Grundlagen einer 'integralen' Grammatik
Authors: Gévaudan Paul
Published: October 2024

Within the framework of an integral grammar, syntax, morphology and lexicology represent three types of consideration of the same reality, which is the linguistic construction of meaning. The distinction between these three linguistic disciplines may be useful in some cases, but in other cases it may hinder the explanation of linguistic phenomena. Integral linguistics is capable of unifying the disciplines - integrating them. It can, however, use modular methods where appropriate. It could therefore be seen as a kind of construction grammar with the option of modularising its descriptions and explanations. This is not to say that this approach advocates methodical indifference; on the contrary, it presupposes a particularly rigorous deduction of its concepts and descriptive methods. The foundations for such a grammar have already been laid in Saussure's Cours de linguistique générale, which – with striking foresight – anticipates the ideas of nowadays' construction grammars and provides them with a hitherto unprecedented theoretical foundation.
This is the starting point for the present article, which places Saussure's reflections within the framework of a theory of language centred on the speech event. It defines the functional levels of the sentence on the ground of the dimensions of utterance meaning, deduces the notions of syntactic function and syntactic constituency from the synthetic and analytical mechanisms of the syntagmatic dimension of language, and those of form and category from the abstraction principles of the paradigmatic dimension of language. Finally, it will be shown how the basic ideas of constructional grammars, in particular that of the syntax lexicon continuum, can be convincingly and exhaustively explained by the universal principles of grammar postulated by Saussure: the syntagmatic and paradigmatic structuration of language.
“Não esqueça eu” - O uso do pronome sujeito EU em função de objeto no português popular do Brasil
Authors: Losavio Marco
Published: October 2024

Portuguese, like many other Romance languages, is traditionally classified as a pro-drop language with a nominative-accusative alignment in its pronominal system. This means that it basically encodes the subject function on the verb, whereas the object function is marked on the object pronoun itself. However, spoken Portuguese in Brazil has been known to have drastically readjusted its pronominal system due to the introduction of novel pronouns such as você and a gente that do not inflect for case and which both trigger the verb to be inflected for 3rd person singular. Obviously, such radical changes can affect the entire pronominal system. New evidence taken from various sources such as pop music and X (Twitter) show precisely this: loss of case distinction seems to affect also other pronouns in Spoken Brazilian Portuguese. This paper tries to follow this development with the example of the 1st person singular pronoun eu by analyzing data found on social media and comparing it to written sources as far back as the 15th century.

Long COVID is a condition when a COVID-19 survivor continues to experience symptoms of the disease for an extended period, even after having recovered from COVID-19, which is characterized by fatigue, neurocognitive impairment, muscle pain, weakness, and depression, which persist for more than 3-12 weeks after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Individuals infected with COVID-19 and healthcare workers on the front lines are at higher risk than others. Sleep quality parameters consist of quantitative aspects such as sleep duration and sleep latency, as well as subjective aspects such as deep sleep and rest. Some studies have reported that a decrease in sleep quality is closely related to an increased risk of cognitive decline. This study aims to determine the correlation between sleep quality and cognitive function in healthcare workers post-COVID-19 at RSUDZA. The research design used in this study is a cross-sectional. The subjects are healthcare workers at RSUDZA Banda Aceh who meet the inclusion criteria. The sample was selected using consecutive for assessing cognitive function using the MoCa-Ina and assessing sleep quality with PSQI. Data were analyzed using Spearman's correlation statistical test to examine the relationship between variables. There were 54 respondents, mostly female (79.6%). The MoCA-Ina score was >26 for 74.1% of respondents. Regarding the PSQI score in this study, most respondents (57.4%) had a score >5. The results of Spearman's correlation statistical test showed that there was no correlation between sleep quality and cognitive function in healthcare workers post-COVID-19 at RSUDZA.

Horticulture, a beacon of resilience, is essential for bolstering the economic stability and competitiveness of regions. This article sets out to gauge the current state of horticulture in Transcarpathia and explore avenues for its fortification, drawing from the experiences of European countries.The study's methodology is rooted in scenario modelling, trend assessment, and forecasting of horticulture development, leveraging the comparative experiences of European countries.The research results underscore the efficacy of automated systems and storage infrastructure in horticulture, as observed in Transcarpathia, Finland, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, and Germany. The findings reveal that agricultural technologies can boost the yield of fruit and berry crops by 20% through enhanced fertility of sown areas. Despite the significant setbacks inflicted by the ongoing war in Ukraine, the horticultural sector has shown remarkable resilience, a testament to its strength and adaptability.  One of the critical consequences of the war was a 27% reduction in capital investment in Ukrainian agriculture - from UAH 68 billion in 2021 to UAH 49.6 billion in 2022. The war has led to the loss of controlled territories and the destruction of the infrastructure that supports the agricultural sector. The article proposes strategies to enhance horticultural practices, advocating for corporate sector involvement and government support for lending.The practical significance of the work lies in formulating recommendations for implementing effective horticultural methods adapted to local conditions. Further research on horticultural practices should focus on improving sown land with the latest tillage tools.
IMPACTS OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM VIETNAM
Authors: Nguyen Hieu
Published: October 2024

Today, with the Industrial Revolution 4.0, digital transformation is taking place strongly in many different fields. Digital transformation can bring a competitive advantage to enterprises. However, enterprises also spend a lot of money to implement digital transformation. Therefore, whether or not digital transformation increases company performance is always of concern to company leaders. This paper aims to analyse the impact of Digital Transformation on Financial Performance, including Revenue, Profit and ROA in Vietnam. Digital Transformation is represented by the variables Cloud Computing, Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet of Things. We used Google Forms to survey 314 leaders of enterprises in Vietnam. Then, we used descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis to analyse the data. Research results show that Cloud Computing, Big Data Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence positively impact financial performance. Enterprises that apply digital transformation have better financial performance than other enterprises. In contrast, there is no connection between the Internet of Things and financial performance. In addition, Firm type and Firm size also affect financial performance. FDI enterprises have higher performance than others, and more giant-sized enterprises have higher performance than others.

In today's crisis conditions caused by military, financial, economic, social, environmental political upheavals and threats, the role of innovative technologies in trade is growing significantly. First of all, this applies to digital distribution in the book trade. Compared to traditional forms of trade, it does not require extensive infrastructure, large production facilities, or numerous staff. This helps to reduce transaction costs, respond more quickly to changing market conditions and simplify access to international trading platforms. However, the further development of digital distribution requires constant monitoring and analysis of global trends, and implementation of the best domestic and foreign practices to ensure efficient management of trading operations.The purpose of the study is to formulate the main financial and organizational measures to improve the management of digital distribution and increase its efficiency. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were solved: based on scientific publications and statistical data, the author monitored the trends in the development of digital distribution and the e-book market in Ukraine and in the world; analyzed the rank and level of visits to the websites of leading online e-book and audiobook stores in Ukraine; identified external and internal factors that affect the efficiency of digital distribution, in particular, e-books and audiobooks in the current conditions of military aggression and other risks; developed a model for generating revenue for a digital distribution platform.Financial, economic and organizational measures to improve the company's distribution management of digital content are proposed. These include areas of customer incentives and rewards, improved communication with digital goods manufacturers, priority funding for projects to improve the platform interface and mobile application, improved accounting, reporting, operational and strategic planning, and the introduction of artificial intelligence.
THE EFFECT OF (REVERSE) FACTORING TRANSACTIONS ON EUROPEAN COUNTRIES’ LATE PAYMENT
Authors: Alves Manuel , Jucá Michele , Serrasqueiro Zélia
Published: October 2024

Late payment by companies is a quiz for managers and governments. Its occurrence, in all industries, has a negative impact on companies' liquidity and can even lead some of them to bankruptcy – especially the less structured ones. In macroeconomic terms, this situation also has adverse implications for countries' economic growth. Being confronted with these issues, banks provide financial instruments - such as factoring and reverse factoring - which potentially can mitigate these undesirable effects. Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze if companies' use of both financial instruments affects their late payment at the country level. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper to do so. Therefore, a final sample of 2,245 observations from 28 European countries is considered, being 16 from developed and 12 from emerging ones. The study hypotheses are tested by a logistic regression model. As a result, there is an unexpected positive relationship between both financial instruments and companies' late payments at a country level. It is possible that undercapitalized companies with inadequate credit practices consider late payment as an ordinary source of credit. This study contributes to academic knowledge by analyzing the effect of factoring and reverse factoring on companies' late payments in European countries. The results can also provide insights into firms' financing and supplier management policies. Moreover, countries and regulators can adjust their legislation in order to encourage a better level of governance in their markets.

The purpose of this article is to develop a methodological approach to evaluating all possible options for the financial provision of the marketing activities of modern machine-building enterprises under conditions of full-scale war. Thus, the new conditions of reality are characteristic specifically of Ukrainian machine-building enterprises, which become the key object of the study. As a result, within this article, the optimal forms of financial provision, both external and internal, were chosen based on evaluation results, which will allow not only to "survive" in the current conditions for Ukrainian machine-building enterprises but also to strengthen their competitiveness in the face of new challenges and threats. The identification of the most optimal forms of financial provision and the conduct of evaluations were made possible through the implementation of expert analysis, using the Delphi method. The central place in the methodology of the article is occupied by the method of hierarchical multicriteria evaluation. Its thorough substantiation has better reflected the main results of the research. The developed methodological approach is distinguished by its convenience and practical value in the conditions of the new reality, that is wartime. Another feature is the consideration of not only internal resources but also external ones. Ultimately, the proper and secure application of the defined forms of internal and external financial provision of marketing activities to change their own competitiveness was also substantiated. This, in turn, allowed forming the correct trajectory for how to evaluate one’s own financial provision options for marketing activities and how to apply them to enhance one’s competitiveness. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in substantiating recommendations for establishing the optimal form of financial provision of marketing activities for machine-building enterprises.
