Published: December 2024

This is the case of a 30-year-old nulliparous patient with a complete uterine septum, double cervix and non- obstructive longitudinal vaginal septum (Class U2bC2V1 according to the ESHRE/ESGE classification). The patient presented with severe dyspareunia and dysmenorrhea. Imaging revealed a complex Müllerian anomaly and hysteroscopic treatment was agreed. We present an approach of hysteroscopic metroplasty after insertion of a Foley catheter balloon in one uterine hemi-cavity, which serves as a guide for septum resection using a resectoscope in the contralateral hemi-cavity. No complications were encountered. The patient was discharged after a short period of observation. A post-operative evaluation revealed complete resection of the vaginal septum and the formation of a single, normal uterine cavity.

Authors: Fuentes F , Maestri V , Tessmann Zomer Kondo M , Kondo W
Published: December 2024

Background: To decrease the risk of unsuspected malignancies disseminating, several studies have shown the safety of using a containment bag to limit tissue dissemination during manual or power morcellation. Furthermore, in 2020, the FDA recommended performing laparoscopic power morcellation for myomectomy or hysterectomy only within a tissue containment system.

Objective: To show step-by-step a new surgical technique using vaginal power morcellation within an endoscopic pouch without adding or extending other incisions.

Materials and methods: Video article describing vaginal power morcellation.

Results: To perform power morcellation through vaginal introit, additional operative time was only 13 minutes.

Conclusions: Vaginal power morcellation using a contained bag system is technically feasible and efficient. Furthermore, it may prevent intraperitoneal dissemination of tissue fragments whilst minimising the need for additional surgical incisions.

Authors: Deveci Isa
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of online entrepreneurial project training on the individual innovativeness of pre-service science teachers. The pilot study and basic study of this research consisted of 11 stages. The pilot study was conducted with 24 third-grade pre-service science teachers, and the basic study was conducted with 33 fourth-grade pre-service science teachers. The research was conducted according to a one-group pre-test and post-test experimental design. The individual innovativeness scale was used in the pre-test and post-test of the pilot and basic study. As an intervention, the online entrepreneurial project training was performed for pre-service science teachers by the researcher-author. While online entrepreneurship project training positively affected the individual innovativeness of pre-service science teachers (large effect), this effect was not observed in the pilot study. In addition, after the implementation of the basic study, the transition of pre-service science teachers from their lower innovativeness categories to upper categories that adapt to innovation is higher (innovators and early adopters). According to these results, one of the ways to improve the individual innovativeness of pre-service science teachers is through entrepreneurial project training.

Altruism means helping others without expecting anything in return and solely for the sake of others; Blood donation is one of the best examples of this pure aid. This research aims to examine the relationship between teacher candidates' altruism levels and blood donation attitude levels. The relational screening method, one of the subcategories of the general screening model, was used in the research. The research was conducted with 204 teacher candidates studying at a state university in Turkey. Data were collected from the “Blood Donation Attitude Scale” developed by Çelik & Güven (2015); It was obtained by using the "Altruism Attitude Scale" developed by Ümmet, Ekşi & Otrar (2013) and the questions prepared by the researchers by taking advantage of the literature and taking expert opinions. Frequency and percentage calculations, mean, standard deviation and Pearson correlation analysis were used to evaluate the data. As a result of the research, it was determined that there was a significant and statistically moderate positive relationship between the level of altruism and blood donation attitude. It was determined that the "Social and Social Responsibility" factor had the highest mean value for the Blood Donation Attitude Scale sub-dimensions, and the "Help in Traumatic Situations" factor had the highest mean value for the Altruism Attitude Scale sub-dimensions.

Authors: Husain Bushra , Ahmed Wani Irshad , Nayab Mohd , Begum Mehmooda
Published: December 2024

Objective: Sciatica, or lumbosacral radicular syndrome, is characterized by pain radiating along the sciatic nerve due to compression or irritation of its nerve roots, commonly caused by lumbar disc herniation or spinal stenosis. In Unani medicine, this condition is referred to as Irq-un-nasa. It is a kind of Waja-ul-Mafasil that develops in the hip joint as a result of the accumulation of Khilt-e-Dam or Khilt-e-Balgham ghaleez. Many drugs and surgical procedures are available in the traditional medical system to treat sciatica, but their efficacy has not been well-established in clinical trials. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Safoof-e-Majusi, a traditional Unani formulation, combined with wet cupping therapy in the management of Irq-un-Nisa (sciatica), offering a holistic and integrative approach to treatment.
Case Presentation: A 51-year-old laborer presented with 10 days of lower back pain radiating to his right leg after heavy lifting. MRI showed L4-L5 disc desiccation and lumbar spondylosis. He was treated with Safoof-e-Majusi and two sessions of wet cupping. After 15 days, he experienced significant pain relief and improved mobility, with no recurrence during follow-up.
Conclusion: The study concludes that the combination of Safoof Majusi and wet cupping is an effective and low-cost treatment for symptomatic relief in patients with sciatica. While this case report yielded positive results, larger clinical trials are necessary to confirm these findings.

Authors:   Korean Association of Arts Management, Kim Hee-won , Lee Mu-Yong
Published: December 2024

T his study aims to analyze the effects of the experiential elements encountered by the MZ generation in the traditional market on place image, place attachment, and behavioral intentions. The MZ generation tends to prioritize personalized experiences over material consumption, and cultural and artistic activities in traditional markets can have a significant impact on their formation of place attachment. In this regard, the study empirically analyzes the effects of four experiential elements (educational, recreational, escapist, and aesthetic) experienced by the MZ generation at Daein Art Night Market in Gwangju on place image, place attachment, and behavioral intentions. The results show that escapist and aesthetic experiences positively (+) affected place image, place attachment, and behavioral intentions, while educational experiences positively affected place attachment and behavioral intentions and recreational experiences positively influenced emotional image and behavioral intentions. These results suggest that when experiential activities in traditional markets align with the values and consumption tendencies of the MZ generation, they can form a positive image of place and contribute to revisit intention and revitalization of the local economy.
Regional cultural foundations’s roles for promoting sustainability of local artists and arts organizations: Applying the concept of triple-bottom line
Authors:   Korean Association of Arts Management, Kim MinKyung , Kim DongYeon
Published: December 2024

The number of artists and arts organizations in regional metropolitan areas like Busan has declined, while those in Greater Seoul area including Incheon and Gyeonggi Province have increased. This disparity underscores a growing threat to the sustainability of local artists and arts organizations outside Greater Seoul. With culturla decentralization gaining prominence, regional cultural foundations have emerged as critical policy actors in addressing this issue. However, there has been a lack of macro-policy discussions on how these foundations can support the sustainability of local artists and arts organizations. This study aims to examine the role of regional cultural foundations in promoting the sustainability by examining the case of the Busan Cultural Foundation through the lens of Wyszomirski’s Triple-Bottom Line (TBL) framework. The foundation has developed a variety of grant programs aligned with the three pillars of TBL—artistic vitality, financial sustainability, and public benefits. While many programs are designed to address income gaps under the financial sustainability pillar, they often lack strategies to enhance fundraising capacities or diversify revenue streams. This finding highlights the need for program redesign to strengthen financial self-sufficiency and encourage engagement in broader market alongside the arts sector to ensure long-term sustainability. Moreover, a significant gap persists between the implementation of these programs and the actual sustainability experienced by the local arts community. To bridge this divide, it is imperative to adopt more diverse and innovative support mechanisms that empower local artists and arts organizations to independently achieve a balanced approach to the TBL. Moving beyond mere funding stabilization and administrative improvement, these mechanisms should aim to equip the local arts ecosystem with tools necessary for enduring growth and resilience.
An Issue Study on Artist Collective’s Non-Hierarchical Engagement and Collaboration: Focusing on the Turner Prizes
Authors:   Korean Association of Arts Management, Lee Min A
Published: December 2024

This study examines the recent rise of socially engaged art projects by artist collectives in the institutional art world and discusses the issues of artistic expertise and authorship raised in their non-hierarchical artistic processes. Artist collectives are non-formal artistic groups formed by experts from various fields, including art, who pursue common ideological and aesthetic values. While these collectives have a significant impact on seeking social change with marginalized groups or local communities amid ongoing conflicts and crises around the world, their collaborative approach, which aims for democracy and egalitarianism, raises concerns about artistic expertise and authorship. This study analyzes the concept, characteristics, major cases, and trends of socially engaged art, and examines the Turner Prize-winning projects at the center of the debate, drawing implications for the issues raised in the projects of artist collectives.
Assemble, the 2015 Turner Prize winner, and Array Collective, the 2021 winner, are both recognized for their artistic critical ability to change the economic or political paradigms of their respective regions. The social changes that Assemble and Array Collective pursued with local residents stemmed from critical reflection on existing social structures. Assemble’s project can be seen as creative in that it created a sustainable economic revenue model through art activities led by local residents. Array Collective’s project has artistic value in that it served as a starting point for transforming the marching culture that fueled conflict in Northern Ireland into a culture for the socially marginalized. The driving force behind the social practices of Assemble and Array Collective lies in the collaboration between the collective and local residents, which allows them to sustain joint projects. T he fact that their influence can only take root in the local community through the participation of local residents may explain why artist collectives transfer authorship. This study provides an understanding of the current state and issues of socially engaged art, and is expected to provide an opportunity for our society to pay attention to the social and artistic discourse produced by artist collectives and to reflect on the sustainable direction for the future.

Published: December 2024

With the rapid spread and influence of COVID-19, the Korean cultural content industry has been changed significantly. The face-to-face content consumption has declined rapidly, followed by a surge in non-contact consumption. Previous studies have demonstrated the competitiveness of Korean pop music(K-pop) in cross-cultural marketing communication. Still, there is a lack of quantitative research on which strategies have led to the success of K-pop. This study identified 9 factors that influenced K-pop intercultural marketing strategy and determined their importance through hierarchical analysis(AHP: Analytic Hierarchy Process). Based on the result of AHP analysis, the analysis identifies four key strategies with the highest importance: topic marketing, secondary content creation, cross-border marketing and online signing. By analyzing and diagnosing these four strategies from multiple levels and perspectives, the article proposes improvements to cross-cultural marketing communication strategies by fan-oriented and marketoriented. This study provides a reference for the K-pop related companies in Korea to make the cross-cultural marketing strategies in Chinese market.

Authors: U. L. Isyaku, , S. U. Kunya, , N. Usman,
Published: December 2024

Construction firms are currently facing intense competition in the market, prompting them to seek new business strategies to gain a competitive advantage. Factors such as market fragmentation, globalization, and increased customer bargaining power have intensified this competition. A recent study evaluated the ability of local construction firms in Katsina State to compete with multinational construction firms by applying the constructability principle. This study aims to assess the ability of indigenous construction firms in Katsina State to compete with multinational firms by implementing constructability principles. The study found that professionals in indigenous construction firms possess substantial skills and knowledge and highlighted the importance of modularisation/pre-assembly design in enhancing competitiveness. However, barriers such as a lack of awareness and resistance to formal constructability programs, poor communication skills, and insufficient construction experience must be addressed for indigenous firms to implement the constructability principle and compete with multinational firms effectively.
Attitude of University Students Towards Online Shopping; A Study of Undergraduates in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State
Authors: C. I. Agbasimelo, , F. C. Ugoji,
Published: December 2024

The proliferation of the internet has revolutionized consumer behaviour, particularly among university students who are increasingly embracing online shopping for its convenience and accessibility. This study investigates the attitudes of undergraduates at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State towards online shopping, with a focus on understanding the factors influencing their behaviors. The objectives include exploring the level of trust and perceived security in online shopping among students, and identifying socio-demographic variables such as age and gender that shape their attitudes and behaviors. Employing a descriptive survey design, data was collected from a representative sample of 386 undergraduate students using structured questionnaires. The study period spanned one academic semester to capture a comprehensive view across various faculties and departments. The findings reveal a robust acceptance of online shopping among the university students, underscored by a high level of trust and perceived security in online payment systems. Statistical analyses, including correlation and regression models, highlight significant positive relationships between attitudes towards online shopping, age, and gender. Age and gender emerge as pivotal predictors, explaining a substantial portion of the variance in attitudes towards online shopping. Specifically, gender demonstrates a stronger influence than age on shaping these attitudes. The study's implications extend to recommendations for enhancing online security measures and developing targeted marketing strategies tailored to the diverse socio demographic profiles of university students.
Kelley’s coefficients of skewness using R
Authors: Moral De La Rubia Jose
Published: December 2024

Kelley developed a robust measure of asymmetry based on quantiles. His proposal was an absolute index which, when divided by the median, results in its relative expression. If the additive complement is standardized with the semi-percentile range, the percentile coefficient of skewness (PCS) is obtained. Additionally, Kelley provided its standard error in case of normal distribution. However, no statistical software currently computes these measures. The aim of this methodological article is to determine their sampling distribution and facilitate their use. Three random samples of 10,000 data points were generated from three symmetric distributions: semicircular (platykurtic), normal (mesokurtic), and logistic (leptokurtic). By bootstrapping, the sampling distribution was obtained for absolute and relative indices, as well as the PCS. The sampling distributions of the absolute index and the PCS conformed to normality, while that of the relative index was leptokurtic with an excessive bootstrap standard error. Furthermore, a script was developed for the R program, adjusted based on these findings, to obtain point and interval estimates of these indices. The script was applied to a random sample as an example. It is concluded that dividing the absolute index by the semi-percentage range is a better standardization option than dividing by the median.
Performance Analysis of CNN Based Aggressive Human Behavior Detection Techniques
Authors: Makhan Singh
Published: December 2024

Aggressive Human Behavior is one of the most sophisticated concepts in social and situational contexts.  A visible increase in aggressive human behavior can be seen over the news channels or in our surroundings every day. This work focuses on physical aggression in humans which includes hitting, kicking, punching etc. These aggressive events pose a direct threat to the public safety. Systems that can automatically monitor or detect surveillance videos and thus identify aggressive human activities in those videos will be of great help to the authorities. In this research, we used three different datasets i.e. hockey fights, movies and violent flow dataset. The video clips from these datasets are converted into pre-processed frame data sequences. The datasets are then divided into training dataset and validation dataset. The model through which training dataset is passed contains Convolution Neural Network (CNN) linked to convolutional LSTM (ConvLSTM) layer. The output of this model is binary classification of aggressive and non-aggressive flags. Further, the validation dataset is used to test the model efficiency. In case, the performance of the model is not satisfactory, the training of the model is re-evaluated until we achieve the desired performance. As depicted by the results, ResNet50 is the best performing CNN model with accuracy of 90%. The InceptionV3 CNN model yielded 89% of accuracy which is close to ResNet50. Further, VGG19 yielded very poor performance results of only 79% of accuracy. For future works, it is suggested to expand the model to more complex violence scenarios and appliances. Find creative solutions for data collection, advance generalization techniques and real-time optimizations.

Unpacking commodity price fluctuations: reading the news to understand inflation
Authors:   University of Piraeus and Bank of Greece, Malliaropoulos Dimitris , Passari Evgenia ,   Université Paris-Dauphine, Petroulakis Filippos ,   Bank of Greece
Published: December 2024

We show that text-based indicators of supply and demand disturbances in commodity markets provide distinct information about future inflation movements relative to existing predictors, inflation expectations and survey forecasts. Specifically, we document that demand-side disturbances play a significantly larger role in prediction because they typically lead to uniform increases in quantities and prices of goods across the consumer basket, resulting in a clear and positive relationship between commodity prices and overall inflation. Supply-side disturbances matter in particular circumstances, for instance during the recent period of the pandemic and geopolitical shocks. In terms of magnitudes, the commodity-specific indicators reduce out-of-sample inflation forecast errors by up to 30 percent. We finally apply our indexes to the inflation decomposition framework of Blanchard and Bernanke (2023) and corroborate their finding that the bulk of pandemic-era inflation can be attributed to commodity supply disruptions, resulting in price increases in goods markets.

Aviation security and safety are crucial aspects of the aviation industry that require serious attention from various parties. Along with technological developments and increasing air traffic, the challenges in maintaining aviation security and safety are increasingly complex. This research aims to examine the role of naqli and aqli postulates in improving aviation security and safety. The research methodology used a qualitative approach with a case study method, involving in-depth interviews with aviation experts, religious experts, and aviation regulators, as well as analysis of policy documents and official reports using data collection literature study and interview. The results showed that the principles of dalil naqli, such as justice and social responsibility, significantly shape aviation safety policies. Meanwhile, the dalil aqli approach, based on rationality and modern technology, effectively reduces accident risk and improves operational efficiency. This study concludes that integrating naqli and aqli arguments can create a more comprehensive aviation safety policy that various parties accept.

Firemanship is one part of a compulsory course designed to prepare cadets to know and understand attitudes, tasks, functions, and organizations, including rescue and firefighting organizations, and it is used in the Palembang Civil Aviation Polytechnic learning process, especially in the Aviation Rescue and Fire Fighting study program. This research aimed to find out (1) whether there was a significant difference in cadets' learning outcomes by applying the drill method and (2) whether there was a significant difference in cadets' learning outcomes by those who were taught using the drill method and those who were not or not. This research used a quasi-experimental design method involving 45 Palembang Civil Aviation Polytechnic cadets as a sample chosen by purposive sampling. The test was used to collect the data, while paired sample t-tests and independent t-tests were used to analyze the data. This research result found a significant difference between the learning outcomes of cadets taught with this method and those who did not. It proved that the result implies that the calculated value of r-obtained (4.256) was higher than r-table 1.681, and the significance level was 0.000 and degrees of freedom equal to 43.

The coffee industry is growing rapidly and generating increasing amounts of spent coffee grounds annually. Spent coffee grounds contain high levels of polysaccharide, which needs in-depth research to obtain and transform into value-added products. This study was carried out to optimize the alkali-catalyzed organosolv treatment of spent coffee grounds to enrich the polysaccharide content. A three-factor central composite design of the response surface model was used to optimize the treatment variables including reflux time, NaOH, and acetone concentration to yield the highest polysaccharide level. As a result, the maximum polysaccharide content was 73.13% obtained at a reflux time of 4.5 h, 62% acetone with 0.91% NaOH. The polysaccharide-rich material from spent coffee ground was composed of 39.37% mannan, 10.40% glucan, and 9.33% galactan. Partial removal of lignin and protein was observed during the treatment. Enzymatic hydrolysis of the spent coffee polysaccharides released the highest reducing sugars of 5583 mg/L using an enzyme cocktail containing 4% of cellulase and 1% of mannanase after 96 h. The enzymatic hydrolysate contained 3190 mg/L mannose and 1790 mg/L glucose, showing a feasible transformation of spent coffee polysaccharides.

Published: December 2024

This study conducted link prediction analysis and maximum flow analysis, which provide critical insights into alternative route inferences and traffic flow, based on real transportation network data. The dataset used in the analysis was specifically generated for this purpose. Data collection involved Bluetooth vehicle counting devices installed at 54 intersection points in the city center of Malatya, Turkey. The methodology leveraged approximately 50 million vehicle transition records to weight the transportation network graph. The Ford-Fulkerson method was utilized for the maximum flow analysis, while the Jaccard similarity metric was employed for the link prediction analysis. The graph construction and all analysis processes were carried out using the R programming language and the igraph graph library. The results of the analyses provided significant insights into alternative route corridors within the transportation network and the maximum traffic capacity of the roads. Consequently, the findings enabled the identification of critical points and potential congestion areas. The outcomes are expected to make a substantial contribution to enhancing the efficiency of the transportation network and improving traffic management strategies.
Kant as Prolegomenon to Post-Kantian Philosophy
Authors: Nemli Osman
Published: December 2024

The following article highlights post-Kantian philosophical moments in Kant’s Critique of Judgment. Post-Kantian is less a temporal designation and more a conceptual category indicating the absence of a unified Critical system. This article focuses on three specific areas where conceptual commitments in the first two Critiques are questioned and undermined in the third Critique leading to an incomplete system. The purpose of this article is to move away from a reading of Kant that simultaneously privileges the Critique of Pure Reason (over and above the other two critiques) and that uses the Critique of Pure Reason as a lens through which to read the critical system. This shift toward the third critique is to specify the nonunified aspect of the Critical system and to highlight significant moments of the Critique of Judgment. This article concludes by specifying the precise moments where Kant’s third Critique moves beyond the boundaries of the first two.
