Language barrier impedes team performance among employees working in a multilingual environment. Guided by the Technology Acceptance Model this study seeks; to determine the effect of machine translators on team efficiency, collaboration, trust building, and training among students on work-study jobs in Hungary. International students (N=105) from the University of Debrecen participated in the study. Findings indicate that machine translators significantly and positively contributed to team performance by boosting efficiency, collaboration, trust, and training. Every unit increase in use of Machine Translators translated to a corresponding increase in team efficiency, collaboration, trust, and training: a significant finding that indicates their instrumental role in breaking the language barrier in a linguistically diverse workplace. This study recommends the full adoption of machine translators to bridge the communication gap arising from language barriers in any multicultural environment consisting of multi-lingual team members.
Hacking Vehicles’ Computer System
Authors:   „Dunărea de Jos” University of Galați, Romania, Stancu Adriana-Iuliana
Published: September 2024

The advent of automotive hacking is a result of the use of electronics in cars. A few years ago, tuning an automobile to produce more power required tuning automotive gear; nowadays, the on – board computer is the new target. For the first time, researchers from Washington and California linked the on – board computer to the OBD – II connector, automatically hacked the system, and installed the Car Shark malware. Aside from other nefarious things, this program could lock the doors, turn off the engine, and force hot air into the cabin. The only solace is that accessing the OBD – II port requires entering the vehicle, and once an attacker is inside, it is simpler for him to take a vehicle than conducting hacking activities. Researchers from the University of South Carolina and Rutgers University had an opposite opinion. They claim that it is possible to remotely hack the car and even control it while it is moving. They use tyre pressure sensors to accomplish it. Radio frequencies are used by these sensors to transmit data. Scientists were able to follow the vehicles and tamper with the transmitted data with the use of this signal.

Published: September 2024

Digitization has taken over the whole world and it’s terrifying. The reason behind this is that the Internet offers many options for its users, some of which are very productive. Unfortunately, it also creates a space for hackers to operate freely and achieve their goals. As the number of internet users is increasing, cybercrime victimization is at the highest rate every day. Cybercrime is a new term that defines illegal activity that involves a network, computer, or network device. Cybercrime is a criminal offense committed against individuals or institutions. Anyone can be a victim of cybercrime. As a result, combating this type of crime presents a new challenge for law enforcement. It is crucial to understand the risks and consequences to take appropriate measures to protect the victims of such crimes. The paper is prepared based on other works to finally conclude that cybercrime is a worldwide problem, and no one is immune to it. We must raise awareness of the possible consequences and prevent future cyber victimization before it’s too late.

The unlicensed National Information Infrastructure radio band (n77, n78, and n46) is taken into consideration for this research work's "Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO)" antenna with dual band features. Gradually, the form design of simple single-patch MIMO antennas gives way to four-element MIMO antennas. Four microstrip antennas are integrated using button-like circular caps on the main patches. Reduced ground is also used in the construction of many band characteristics. Excellent isolation can be achieved by using Rectangular Metallic Strip (RMS). The suggested MIMO antenna has the advantage of covering two significant frequency bands. At 3.07 GHz and 6.31 GHz, the antenna system resonates with a total bandwidth of 2.43 GHz. The antenna design uses a FR4 substrate measuring 35 mm by 49 mm by 1.6 mm in thickness. For simulation purposes, Teflon and a specially made SMA connector with a perfect electrical conductor (PEC) are used to enhance impedance matching. An 8.2 mm feed line with an inset feed is also utilized. Research and investigation are conducted on radiation properties, including mean effective gain, envelope correction coefficient, reflection coefficient, and more. Both the reflection and isolation coefficients have values of less than -10 dB, with the former being less than -15 dB. It is a 16.30 dB increase overall. 5G applications will greatly benefit from having this smaller, four-element MIMO antenna.

Published: September 2024

Background: Pain is one of the most common symptoms for which people seek help from physicians. However, it is not well emphasized over the curriculum and evaluation methods of medical, dental or nursing curricula. In countries such as Bangladesh, where public health is the most important topic in the health sector, pain is often overlooked. To address this problem and establish a solution, changes should be made to the curriculum by analyzing the current requirements of modernization and robust evidence of disease burden.Methods: This was an observational study that evaluated undergraduate medical, dental and nursing education. Topics and Key words were used for evaluation of curriculam and written questions. Six universities in Bangladesh that followed the same curriculum and their written questions papers from 2014-2016 were assessed. “Curriculum of undergraduate dental education in Bangladesh-2016” and “BSc Nursing Curriculum 2018” were also explored.Results: In the undergraduate medical curriculum, no dedicated module is allocatedfor pain, but they are taught under the general module, which consists of only 19 hours among 7198 hours. In BSc nursing, a total of 2412 hours are allocated, of which only 25 hours are for pain management. The highest 7.11% in Dhaka University and lowest 0% marks in University of Science andTechnology, Chittagong, were allocated.Conclusion: Dedicated pain curricula with purpose, planning for implementation,and encouraging learners can make a difference in motivating healthcare professionals for better pain management situations in Bangladesh.

Are Philippine Cities Ready to Become Smart Cities?
Authors: Ramos Tatum , Lorenzo Pauline Joy , Ancheta Jenica , Ballesteros Marife
Published: September 2024

Smart city development is recognized as a potential solution to urbanization issues. This study examines Philippine cities’ readiness for smart city development by answering three policy questions: (1) What drives Philippine local government units toward implementing smart city initiatives; (2) What is the extent of smart city development among Philippine cities; and (3) How can the Philippine government facilitate the development of smart cities? A desk review of smart city initiatives in some Philippine cities was carried out, and interviews were conducted with local government units, national government agencies, businesses, and development organizations. It finds that the Philippines has started to tread the path toward building smart cities, and some cities already exhibit readiness. However, additional pathways to smart city development must be paved. There is a need to address funding, data management, and sustainability challenges. Addressing the challenges not only requires actions at the local level but also demands additional support from the national government in developing policies and standards to improve data flow, promoting technology- and innovation-powered cities, and ensuring transparency and accountability in the implementation of smart city initiatives.
Tax disclosure : firms’ governance characteristics and utilization by tax authorities
Authors:   , Van Roy Michiel
Published: September 2024

Through two archival studies, this dissertation explores the relationship between firm-level governance characteristics and tax disclosures. In addition, a third methodological study provides a framework to value tax disclosures based on a machine learning approach, which subsequently applies this framework to a real-world case. The findings demonstrate that increasing family ownership in a firm is significantly negatively associated with the level of tax disclosure, but do not demonstrate robust evidence of a relationship between family involvement in management and tax disclosures, or between family involvement on the board of directors and tax disclosures. Furthermore, the dissertation shows a positive relationship between employee representation on corporate boards and a firm’s level of tax disclosure and a positive relationship between the existence of a CSR subcommittee and a firm’s level of tax disclosure. We find no robust evidence of a relationship between board gender diversity and the firm’s level of tax disclosure. Additionally, the consequences of governance mechanisms are shown to be influenced by a country’s formal and informal institutions. Finally, this dissertation develops and applies a machine learning approach to value data based on the theoretically sound Shapley value to assist the Belgian Federal Tax Authorities in managing large quantities of data received under various exchange of information agreements. This valuation technique determines which data is valuable for predicting successful tax audits. This valuation technique does not rely on the assumption that all features in the machine learning model must be independent like the often-applied SHAP and SAGE methods, enhancing the validity of its results in a real-world setting. This dissertation intends to inform regulators and other stakeholders of the pitfalls and effectiveness of governance mechanisms that could monitor a firm’s tax management and payments. In addition, this thesis provides a framework to value tax disclosures that can effectively assist tax authorities in filtering out useful tax disclosures.

The end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries were a very important period in terms of political, diplomatic and cultural relations. During this period, the number of pilgrims among the Kazakh population increased. The study examines the factors influencing this historical situation and the reasons for the mass pilgrimage of the Kazakhs. The purpose of the study. Introduction into scientific circulation of religious and cultural ties between the Ottoman Empire and the Kazakh people based on archival data, research in a new direction. Materials and methods. The main sources of the research work are the documents of the Ottoman State Archives and the materials of the Central State Archives of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Historical methods were used in the research. The works and scientific findings of Turkish and Kazakh historians, published within the framework of the research topic, are presented in a comparative perspective. Results. Extensive information about the pilgrimage routes of Turkestan pilgrims is given. Information was presented on religious relations between the Ottoman Empire and Turkestan, the laws on the Hajj adopted by Tsarist Russia, financial assistance from Turkestanis to the construction of the Hejaz, and the Ottoman Sultan's assistance to Turkestan pilgrims. Conclusion. In the 20th century, the influence of the Russian invasion on relations between the two countries was determined. Based on the data of the Central Archives of Kazakhstan, Russia's opposition to the Hajj and the persecution of the Ottoman Turks and Tatars who were engaged in trade in the territory of Kazakhstan and called on Kazakhs to perform the Hajj were compared. Particular attention was paid to the influence of the pilgrimage on the diplomacy and economy of the two empires. Considering that the Hejaz was ruled by the Ottoman Empire at that time, new information is presented on the main activities in the process of ensuring the safety of pilgrims and the Hejaz Railway, which was one of the most important pilgrimage routes, and its political importance.

Background: Classroom noise has been found to have a wide range of detrimental consequences on children's academic performance, including difficulty with concentration and memory. There has been little research on noise annoyance in children, compared to adult noise annoyance. Noise is a public health issue that causes annoyance and has an impact on children's health. Children are more prone to exposure to noise. Objective: To assess the relationship between classroom noise exposure and the annoyance of secondary school students. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving both male and female secondary school students from classes VIII through X. Respondents were selected by convenience sampling technique from Mawna Multilateral High School, Gazipur. To collect data from respondents, used a semi-structured questionnaire and a face-to-face interview and study tools include a calibrated smart phone (Android) app and a checklist. Results: The mean age of 422 respondents was 14.76 (±1.007) years. The ages of the respondents were between 13 to 16 years. Most (30.6%) were 14 years of age, (29.9%) were 16 years of age, (28.0%) were 15 years of age and the rest of them (11.6%) were 13 years of age. Among the respondents, 35.3 % were taken from class VIII, 41.5% from class IX and 23.2% from class X. Among them, 50.95% were male and the rest 49.05% were female. Most of them 93.36% were Muslims and 6.64% were Hindus. The family income of the respondents ranged from 5000 Taka to 105000 Taka and their mean income was 30318.72(± 20732.225) Taka. The Bangladesh Noise Pollution (Control) Rules 2006 state that the standard level of noise in mixed areas is between 50 and 60 dB. Based on the mean of these weekly average noise levels, which was 87.6 dB, it may be concluded that the selected school's classroom was noisy. Conclusion: This research may help to improve secondary school students' academic performance and establish a happy learning environment. Benefits include providing parents and school administrators with relevant information about how classroom noise affects student health and academic performance, as well as how it annoys secondary school students.

Background: Microalbuminuria has been linked to the identification of incipient diabetic kidney diseases as well as it is a predictor of outcome in patients with renal disease. It is also an independent risk factor for prediction of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In various studies, it was found that long duration of diabetes is associated with higher percentages of microalbuminuria. Objective: In this study, we tried to correlate microalbuminuria with duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus as well as to observe relation of microalbuminuria in between cardiovascular diseases and without cardiovascular diseases in patients having type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: A hospital based observational study was carried out in the Department of Medicine, Dhaka Medical College & Hospital where total of 100 patients diagnosed as type 2 DM were included. Detailed history including duration of diabetes mellitus, medications received, associated hypertension, any other cardiovascular diseases, and their medication, any history suggestive of adverse cardiac events along with prescribed medication was obtained. Investigations were carried out to assess level of microalbuminuria. Result: In this study it was observed that 38.0% patients have normoalbuminuria and 62.0% patients have microalbuminuria. It was also observed that presence of microalbuminuria in study population is gradually increasing along with duration of DM and it was high in > 10 years duration of DM group (83.3%). Occurrence of microalbuminuia was found significantly higher (p<0.05) in type 2 DM patients with cardiovascular disease. Conclusion: Microalbuminuria is an important association with development of cardiovascular diseases in type 2 DM.. Presence of microalbuminuria is gradually increasing along with duration of DM and especially higher in more than 10 years.

Although significant progress has been made in reducing the impact of infectious diseases, much remains to be seen in reducing the threat of perinatal asphyxia, particularly in developing countries. Objective: The aim of present study is to evaluate the prevalence of morbidity pattern and immediate outcome of perinatal asphyxia in a scanu of 250 bed district hospital in Jamalpur. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 424 patients from 01.01.2023 to 30.06.2023 in newly shaped Special Care Neonatal Unit (SCANU) of 250 bed district hospital in Jamalpur, Bangladesh. Results: In our study, maximum (62%) babies were male and 38% of them were female. 80.1% babies had the gestational age of 37 to 40 weeks, 51.4% babies were delivered in clinic. Maximum (80.3%) babies were from rural population. Maximum (128) mothers had abortion, 99 mothers had trial of oxytocin, 84 had obstetric labour, 65 had multiple parity, 46 had still birth and 5 had primi cases. 246 mothers had no adverse medical conditions but 76 had premature leaking, 27 had HTN, 16 had PROM, 15 had anemia, 9 had DM, 5 had PET, 3 had APH and 2 had heart disease. Maximum babies (297) had spontaneous cry, 127 had delayed cry, 126 needed oxygen inhalation and 5 had needed resuscitation. Among the complications, maximum babies had respiratory distress (288) and convulsion (109). Maximum (61%) patients had PNA and Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) stage 2, 33% patients had only PNA and 6% patients had PNA and HIE stage 1. Conclusion: In this study, we discovered that asphyxiated babies had significantly higher levels of the identified risk factors as well as neonatal complications. Even with our limited resources, the majority of these could have been avoided.

This study investigates how IT trends affect teaching and learning in the Nigerian educational system. It starts off with a summary of the current IT trends being used, such as the usage of technology in classrooms, accessibility to the internet, use of mobile devices and educational apps, and incorporation of virtual and augmented reality. The report then looks at how these IT trends have improved teaching and learning, including increased motivation and engagement, personalized learning experiences, easy access to a variety of learning resources, and chances for collaborative learning. However, there are obstacles to integrating IT trends into the Nigerian educational system, such as a lack of equipment and resources, a lack of digital literacy among teachers and students, reluctance to abandon the use of conventional teaching techniques, and privacy and security worries. The provision of professional development for teachers, the development of infrastructure and internet connectivity, the promotion of digital literacy, and addressing privacy and security issues are some of the strategies for successfully integrating IT trends in education. The study also provides examples of how IT trends have been successfully implemented in Nigerian schools, including the use of online tests, virtual and augmented reality in science instruction, and educational apps for individualized learning. Future directions and suggestions are then given, highlighting the necessity of increasing access to technology and internet connectivity, incorporating cutting-edge IT trends like artificial intelligence and machine learning, offering teachers ongoing professional development opportunities, and fostering collaboration between the government, educational institutions, and technology providers.
Błogosławiony Idzi z Asyżu w średniowiecznej kompilacji żywotów i porzekadeł z legnickiej kartuzji Męki Jezusa Chrystusa
Authors: Horowski Aleksander
Published: September 2024

Trzeci towarzysz w. Franciszka, bł. Idzi z Asyżu († 1262), obdarzony nadzwyczajnymi darami mistycznymi, jest autorem maksym duchowych spisanych po łacinie przez krąg jego uczniów i znanych jako Porzekadła (Dicta). Niniejszy artykuł analizuje dawny kodeks 11 z Biblioteki Kościoła Św. Piotra i Pawła w Legnicy, obecnie należący do Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej we Wrocławiu (Akc. 1948/781). Rękopis ten został sporządzony w latach 1481–1483 przez legnickiego kartuza Bernarda z Egry († 1493) i zawiera wypisy o tematyce franciszkańskiej. Wśród zebranych w nim tekstów znajduje się również kompilacja wypowiedzi bł. Idziego, oparta o jego żywot z Kroniki XXIV ministrów generalnych, o rozdział VI Porzekadeł oraz o niezidentyfikowane dotąd źródło. Transkrypcji tekstu łacińskiego towarzyszy tłumaczenie na język polski.

Orędzie bożonarodzeniowe bł. Honorata koźmińskiego w listach okólnych do zgromadzeń ukrytych
Authors: Synowczyk Kazimierz
Published: September 2024

W listopadzie 1864 car Aleksander II nakazał likwidację klasztoru w Warszawie, a bracia kapucyni zostali skierowani do klasztoru w Zakroczymiu, gdzie kontynuowali działalność duszpasterską i patriotyczną. Taki stan trwał jednak krótko, bo w 1871 r. zakazano im prowadzenia duszpasterstwa i ograniczono swobodę poruszania się poza klasztorem. Zasadniczą przestrzenią pracy kapłańskiej o. Honorata była posługa w konfesjonale. Pomimo internowania, sługa Boży nie stracił zapału apostolskiego, podejmując nowe formy religijnego oddziaływania, których wyjątkowym wyrazem było zakładanie zgromadzeń ukrytych. Nie mogąc opuszczać klasztoru, prowadził apostolstwo słowa pisanego i korespondencję na szeroką skalę z siostrami nowych zgromadzeń.
Wśród ogromnej liczby listów adresowanych do poszczególnych sióstr czy przełożonych znajduje się zbiór 85 listów okólnych skierowanych do zgromadzeń życia ukrytego, a w nim największą grupę stanowią listy przesłane z okazji uroczystości Bożego Narodzenia. W latach 1888–1909 aż 42 razy zwracał się o. Honorat do sióstr ze zgromadzeń ukrytych z orędziem bożonarodzeniowym.
W listach tych mąż Boży, kontemplując tajemnicę narodzin Syna Bożego, koncentruje się na Jego cnotach: pokorze, ubóstwie, umartwieniu, cichości i pokorze, dziecięctwu i prostocie, ukryciu. Następnie w swojej refleksji przechodzi do życia świętego Franciszka z Asyżu, który tak bardzo upodobnił się do Chrystusa. Wreszcie zwraca się z nauką i zachętą do sióstr, aby adoracja Żłóbka, na wzór Biedaczyny z Asyżu, była dla nich źródłem i miarą upodobniania się do Jezusa narodzonego w Betlejem.
Na zakończenie orędzia Założyciel nowych zgromadzeń zakonnych zachęcał do modlitwy o wierność i wytrwanie w powołaniu zakonnym oraz życzył swoim duchowym córkom trwania przy Chrystusie przez całe życie, w serafickim duchu miłości, ubóstwa, dziecięctwa, prostoty, pokory, umartwienia i ukrycia.

A síndrome da Dilatação Vólvulo gástrica (DVG) é uma condição aguda e muitas vezes fatal em cães, caracterizada pela expansão e rotação do estômago. Os sinais clínicos incluem náuseas, tentativas de vômitos sem sucesso, salivação excessiva, fraqueza, inquietação e distensão abdominal. Esta síndrome afeta principalmente cães de raças grandes e gigantes, de meia idade a idosos, com tórax estreito e profundo. Embora a etiologia seja complexa, fatores como manejo alimentar e atividade física estão implicados. O diagnóstico é baseado em história clínica, sinais clínicos exames radiográficos e laboratoriais. O tratamento envolve abordagens clinicas emergenciais para estabilização do paciente através de dose de choque de fluídoterapia, seguido da descompressão gástrica. A prevenção da DVG inclui gastropexia profilática e orientação para os tutores sobre manejo alimentar e atividades físicas adequadas para reduzir o risco de desenvolvimento da síndrome. A metodologia desta pesquisa foi a de revisão de literatura a partir de livros e produção cientifica em Medicina Veterinária, com base em pesquisa relacionada com as seguintes palavras chaves: dilatação vólvulo gástrica, vólvulo, DVG, torção do estômago, rotação do estômago; em algumas bases de dados como: Pubvet, Google Academy e SciElo.org, nos últimos 10 anos.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a critical obstetric condition characterized by excessive blood loss after childbirth. It can occur immediately after delivery or develop within the first 24 hours, referred to as early postpartum hemorrhage, or up to 12 weeks after childbirth, known as late postpartum hemorrhage. This study is a bibliographic research, configured as a narrative review of the literature related to postpartum hemorrhage, focusing on its main triggering factors and clinical practice implications, aiming to synthesize published research on this topic. The final review sample consisted of 20 articles, after the exclusion of 133 during the full reading and application of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Initially, the screening of titles and abstracts reduced the sample from 346 to 153 articles, with 193 excluded at this stage. The original sample, obtained after applying the descriptors, included 483 articles, but was reduced to 346 after the removal of 137 duplicates. In the literature found, all studies were categorical in presenting the main triggering factors for postpartum hemorrhage. In this sense, the authors mainly discuss the "4Ts" as key risk factors associated with this obstetric emergency, a serious complication and one of the leading causes of maternal mortality worldwide. The term "4Ts" refers to four potential causes of postpartum hemorrhage: Tone, Trauma, Tissue, and Thrombin. In summary, postpartum hemorrhage is a complex and multifactorial condition that requires a multidisciplinary approach.
