Authors: Hilal Al-Mamari Khawla , Mahmoud Al-Zoubi Suhail , Abdelqader Abu Shindi Yousef , Khalfan Al Raqadi Muadh
Published: February 2025

This quantitative study aimed to assess the quality of life (QOL) among students with disabilities at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), Oman. Using the World Health Organization QOL questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF), data were collected from 35 students with physical, hearing, and visual impairments. Results indicated that participants reported a high level of satisfaction in the social relationships (M = 3.90, SD = 0.85) and environment (M = 3.80, SD = 0.72) dimensions, while the physical health dimension showed a moderate level of satisfaction (M = 3.27, SD = 0.48). Psychological health also received a relatively high score (M = 3.73, SD = 0.62). Analysis by gender revealed no statistically significant differences in QOL, whereas significant differences were found based on disability type in the physical (p = 0.001) and psychological (p = 0.026) dimensions, with students with physical disabilities reporting higher scores. The study’s small sample size and convenience sampling method limit the generalizability of findings, suggesting a need for further research with larger, more diverse samples to better understand the QOL of students with disabilities. This research provides valuable insights for SQU and similar institutions to enhance support services for students with disabilities. The results indicated that students with disabilities have a high level of QOL. The results also showed that students with physical disabilities have a higher level of QOL than students with visual and hearing impairments. The study recommended conducting research on students with disabilities in Omani universities and evaluating the quality of services provided to them.

Published: February 2025

The health and safety (H&S) statistics of the construction industry in terms of accident and injuries has remained high for many years. This is as a result of most construction firms lacking information on the costs of accident prevention measures due to inadequacy of available data and the absence of a model specifically developed for H&S. This study aims at modelling the cost of H&S in building construction projects. The quantitative approach used 40 Bills of Quantities (BOQ) for the collection of data on building construction projects from quantity surveying firms through purposive sampling. Data were analysed using simple percentile and regression analysis. Result on the estimation of the cost of H&S in construction projects revealed that, for projects costing between N0.15 billion and N2.88 billion the percentage of safety cost to the total construction cost of the projects is 5.67% and approximately N21, 271.98/m2 as H&S cost per unit area. It was concluded that before execution of projects the cost of safety is predictable by engaging the information from the BOQ and by using project duration. It was recommended that a distinct section should be assigned for H&S in the BOQ for safety cost components such as PPE, CPM and ST for adequate estimating of safety cost items. This model would provide a reference for construction practitioners and professionals in estimating in details, the cost for H&S at early stage of project construction.
Rebeldia e insubmissão em Rita Lee: Rebeldia e insubmissão em Rita Lee: Uma autobiografia (2016)
Authors: Fraccari Sabrina Ferraz , Sell Thaíne Fernanda
Published: February 2025

Este artigo tem como principal objetivo compreender as percepções que Rita Lee guarda acerca das subversões de gênero encenadas por ela mesma em sua trajetória pessoal e artística com base nas narrativas de Rita Lee: Uma autobiografia (2016). Para isso, recorremos às considerações de Pinto (2003), Moraes (2012), Napolitano (2023), entre outros, a fim de refletir sobre o feminismo no Brasil a partir da década de 1960, com vistas a compreender como esse discurso perpassa a trajetória de Rita. Em seguida, discorremos sobre a relação da artista com a escrita e como decide narrar a autobiografia. Por fim, a partir de excertos da narrativa, refletimos sobre as percepções de Rita acerca dela própria e dos comportamentos contrários às imposições patriarcais que adotou ao longo da vida. Compreendemos que, a seu modo, desde criança, a artista fugiu aos padrões de comportamento considerados próprios às mulheres, e encontrou meios de expressar suas percepções de mundo em exemplos vindos de referências masculinas, que a permitiam romper com as prescrições sociais e familiares, motivo pelo qual foi constantemente considerada estranha ou doida. Ao fazer isso, por meio de um feminismo à la Rita Lee, ofereceu às mulheres possibilidades outras de ser e estar no mundo.

Published: February 2025

This study analyzed customers’ perceptions of electronic services provided by financial institutions in Guayaquil, Ecuador, based on the TAM-2 technology acceptance model. Variables such as perceived usefulness, ease of use, intention to use, and attitude toward use were explored, which were fundamental for data collection through a mixed, descriptive, and non-experimental methodological approach. A total of 385 users of electronic banking products were surveyed, and three financial experts were interviewed. The results showed that the perceived usefulness of the services is not significantly influenced by third parties, with most users expressing confidence in the transactions conducted and a positive evaluation of the image and quality of the services. Additionally, demonstrability was associated with improvements in transaction efficiency. Regarding ease of use, users considered the services to be easily adaptable and contributory to the efficiency of financial tasks. In terms of the intention to use, a high willingness was observed among users, although concerns emerged about data privacy and lack of familiarity with the technology. Finally, the attitude toward use highlighted the importance of time, ease, security, and accessibility, along with the impact of the social environment and the perceived added value of these services in the user experience.

Published: February 2025

Objectives: To evaluate the long-term refractive outcome of bilateral pediatric cataract surgeries with intraocular lens implantation in Children.

Methods: The medical records of children aged under 10 years, who underwent cataract surgeries with C were reviewed. All the children underwent primary posterior capsulotomy with anterior vitrectomy and primary IOL implantation. Only those with a follow‑up of at least 5 years were evaluated.

Results: In total, 24 children (5 females and 19 males, 18 patients had developmental cataracts and 6 had congenital cataracts, 48 eyes) met the inclusion criteria for this study. Mean age at the time of surgery was 5.36±2.35 years (1 month–6 years). Mean follow-up time was 5.54±1.58 years. The average refraction followed a logarithmic decline with age. Typically, children who had a minor hyperopic refractive errors immediately following surgery developed substantial myopia as they grew older. Patients who were 0 to 4 years old at the time of surgery had a significantly larger myopic shift rate than patients who were 6 to 8 years and 9 to 11 years

Conclusion: This study demonstrate a trend toward declining postoperative hyperopia in pediatric patients undergoing intraocular lens implantation. Myopic shift varies significantly amongst patients. It is necessary to adjust the IOL calculation formula to specify more under correction, with the aim of achieving more optimal refractive outcomes in adulthood.

Capacity Development for Effective Police Prosecution in Ghana: Promoting Due Process of Law
Authors: Yin Elijah Tukwariba , Atupare Peter Atudiwe , Kofie Nelson
Published: February 2025

This study aimed to document, describe, and examine the extent to which capacity development is utilized to ensure effective police prosecution in Ghana. It is argued that ineffective capacity development of police prosecutors undermines the due process of law and distorts prosecutorial activities within the justice system. The Social Learning Theory (SLT) was used as a lens to explain the capacity development of police prosecutors. This study used phenomenology as a research design. The qualitative approach of interview was used as a strategy for data gathering. Using convenient and purposive sampling techniques, 22 police prosecutors were interviewed. In addition to the interviewed data, the study made use of some news articles. The data was analysed based on themes. The analysed data revealed that the successful prosecution of cases by the police in Ghana relies heavily on robust capacity development. This entails the development of personal, interpersonal, professional, and organizational skills of police prosecutors. Prosecutors require a solid grounding in law, analytical abilities, critical thinking, time management, technological proficiency, and organizational values such as accountability and transparency. Capacity development initiatives greatly bolster prosecutors' confidence and skills, resulting in higher conviction rates, improved engagement with stakeholders, and a deeper comprehension of intricate legal principles. Neglecting capacity development carries serious repercussions, including compromised delivery of justice and diminished morale. Inadequate training undermines prosecutors' capacity to prepare cases, handle evidence, and navigate court procedures, eroding public trust in the criminal justice system. We conclude that Ghana can strengthen its criminal justice system, and promote fairness, efficiency, and public confidence through effective capacity development. Among the recommendations, authorities must prioritize capacity building by offering consistent training and resources to facilitate the professional development of police prosecutors.

How do geological map details influence geology-streamflow relationships in large-sample hydrology studies?
Authors: do Nascimento Thiago Victor Medeiros , Rudlang Julia , Gnann Sebastian , Seibert Jan , Hrachowitz Markus , Fenicia Fabrizio
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Large-sample hydrology datasets have advanced hydrological research, yet the impact of landscape attribute level of detail on inferring dominant streamflow generation processes across scales remains underexplored. This study investigates the role of geology using maps of increasing detail—global, continental, and regional—each reclassified into four relative permeability classes. These geological attributes, combined with topography, soil, vegetation, land use and climate attributes, were analyzed across 4,000 European catchments from the EStreams dataset, to identify dominant controls on streamflow signatures. We conducted analyses at three scales: large (63 European river basins), intermediate (the Moselle basin), and small (five Moselle sub-catchments). The large-scale study used global and continental maps, while the intermediate and small-scale experiments also incorporated regional maps. On the large scale, no consistent correlation emerged between baseflow and landscape attributes, though landscape effects outweighed climate influences. The continental map generally showed stronger correlations than the global map, but with tradeoffs in the number of geological classes versus spatial resolution. At the intermediate scale, geology transitioned from being insignificant to dominant as map detail increased, underscoring the importance of refined geological data. The small-scale experiment mirrored large-scale findings, showing varying dominant controls across catchments. However, the regional map provided consistent, physically meaningful correlations, aligning with established hydrological understanding. Overall, this illustrates the considerable benefit of integrating detailed, region-specific geological data into large sample hydrology studies. Overall, our findings have implications for hydrological regionalization and the prediction of streamflow in ungauged catchments.
Assessment of Ocean Bottom Pressure Variations in CMIP6 HighResMIP Simulations

Published: February 2025

Abstract. Ocean bottom pressure (pb) variations from high-resolution climate model simulations under the CMIP6 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6) HighResMIP protocol are potentially useful for oceanographic and space-geodetic research, but the overall signal content and accuracy of these pb estimates have hitherto not been assessed. Here we compute monthly pb fields from five CMIP6 HighResMIP models at 1/4° grid spacing over both historical and future time spans and compare these data, in terms of temporal variance, against observation-based pb estimates from a 1/4° downscaled GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) product and 23 bottom pressure recorders, mostly in the Pacific. The model results are qualitatively and quantitatively similar to the GRACE-based pb variances, featuring—aside from eddy imprints—elevated amplitudes on continental shelves and in major abyssal plains of the Southern Ocean. Modeled pb variance in these regions is ∼10–80 % higher and thus overestimated compared to GRACE, whereas underestimation relative to GRACE and the bottom pressure recorders prevails in more quiescent deep-ocean regions. We also form variance ratios of detrended pb signals over 2030–2049 under a high-emission scenario relative to 1980–1999 for three selected models and find statistically significant increases of future pb variance by ∼30–50 % across the Arctic and in eddy-rich regions of the South Atlantic. The strengthening is consistent with projected changes in high-latitude surface winds and, in the case of the South Atlantic, intensified Agulhas leakage. The study thus points to possibly new pathways for relating observed pb variability from (future) satellite gravimetry missions to anthropogenic climate change.
Robot-assisted activities of daily living (ADL) rehabilitation training with a sense of presence based on virtual reality
Authors: Li Liaoyuan , Lei Tianlong , Li Jun , Li Xiangpan
Published: February 2025

Abstract. ​​​​​​​The integration of virtual reality (VR) technology with rehabilitation robots significantly improves rehabilitation training effectiveness. Although most studies employ VR games to engage patients, few explore activities of daily living (ADL) that incorporate visual, auditory, and force feedback. This article discusses the use of Unity software and a 4-degree-of-freedom upper-limb rehabilitation robot to design a picking and placing training exercise that provides a sense of presence. An inverse kinematics algorithm creates a virtual character to simulate realistic actions and perspective changes. Encouraging prompts and sounds motivate patients, while initial load and friction compensation renders the robot transparent. Virtual objects are assigned different masses, transmitted via the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and converted into air pressure, allowing a cylinder to generate downward force, simulating gravity. Upper-limb electromyography (EMG) signals are collected during training. The experiment results show that air pressure increases within 1 s to provide a sensation of gravity. Picking up various objects generates distinct EMG signals, with amplitude and variation comparable to dumbbell experiments. This suggests that the proposed ADL training effectively exercises the joints and muscles of the upper extremities, providing high realism in vision and force perception.

Las agencias internacionales de noticias están experimentando una transformación en sus modelos de negocios, procesos de producción periodística y la forma con la que se relacionan con sus audiencias y clientes. La irrupción de nuevos canales de comunicación de menor costo y la rapidez de las redes sociales tensiona el rol clave que estas agencias juegan para satisfacer mercados y audiencias locales. Este artículo busca entender de qué manera las agencias internacionales de noticias en Chile se están adaptando a estos nuevos modelos y procesos. Basado en 16 entrevistas semiestructuradas con profesionales de las agencias más importantes con oficinas en Chile (AP, Reuters, AFP, EFE y Xinhua), los resultados de este artículo muestran un estatus profesional horadado debido a la precarización del trabajo de corresponsalía, e incluso su desmantelamiento, de manera consistente con estudios previos en otros contextos. Sin embargo, este artículo identifica particularidades locales de este trabajo que navega entre las tensiones de una economía política y roles profesionales en una cultura periodística escasamente estudiada, marcada por la flexibilización y la precarización de las condiciones laborales. De esta manera, los corresponsales verbalizan el desmantelamiento de su estatus (desconocidos), sus condiciones laborales (precarios) y sus fronteras profesionales (multifacéticos).

The growth hormone (GH) gene is a promising candidate for marker-assisted selection in livestock breeding, but its polymorphic variants exhibit inconsistent phenotypic effects across different breeds and populations. The investigation of the rs41923484 SNP in GH, which leads to the Val for Leu substitution at position 157 (Val157Leu), revealed structural and functional differences in the protein. The 157Leu isoform is more compact, potentially reducing accessibility of functional sites for receptor interactions, affecting the efficiency of signaling pathways necessary for lactation stimulation. Discrepancies in phenotypic effects might be attributed not only to Val157Leu isoforms but also to the differential expression of alternative splicing products in various tissues.

Published: February 2025

Objective – to study the subpopulation composition of T-helpers in the tumor microenvironment of patients with colon cancer.

Materials and methods. The relative content of T-helpers in the tumor microenvironment, the subpopulation composition of T-helpers, and the expression of co-inhibitory proteins (CTLA-4, PD-1, TIM-3) by CD4-positive cells were determined by flow cytofluorimetry in 105 patients with stage III colorectal cancer. The control group consisted of 75 patients who underwent colon surgery for non-neoplastic diseases.

Results. In patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), the relative content of T-helpers in the tumor microenvironment increases by 1,4, the proportion of naive cells (CD3+CD4+CD45RA+CCR7+) decreases by 1,8 times, the relative content of central memory T-helpers (CD3+CD4+CD45RA-CCR7+) increases, the number of CD4-positive effector memory cells (CD3+CD4+CD45RA-ССR7-) and terminally differentiated T-helpers (CD3+CD4+CD45RA+ССR7-) decreases. In patients with CRC, on the surface of CD3+CD4+ lymphocytes in the tumor microenvironment, the expression of CD57 increases by 4,1 times, the co-inhibitory molecule CTLA-4 by 5,5 times, and the PD-1 protein by 1,8 times.

Conclusion. In patients with colorectal cancer, the subpopulation composition of T-helpers in the tumor microenvironment changes, which is expressed in a decrease in the proportion of naive cells and the most differentiated effector cells with a simultaneous increase in the percentage of central memory cells.
STATE AND PROBLEMS OF THE SYSTEM FOR REGISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING OF CONGENITAL DEVELOPMENTAL DEFECTS IN CHILDREN AND FETUSES
Authors: Antonova I. V. , Antonov O. V. , Listkova D. V.
Published: February 2025

The literature review presents an analysis of the current state of the existing system for monitoring congenital malformations in children and fetuses. The birth rate of children with developmental defects in different countries and on the territory of the Russian Federation varies over a wide range, both over time and across observation areas. Using the example of defects and anomalies of the urinary system organs, the issues of defining the terms “congenital defect” and «developmental anomaly» are discussed. The problem remains that researchers have used various classifications over the years to systematize birth defects. To ensure a unified approach to the registration of developmental defects, it is advisable to take into account all their forms according to the International Classification of Diseases, separating defects from congenital anomalies, and also to single out defects from the entire spectrum for mandatory recording, which is important for comparing regional indicators with the results of individual researchers and with the data of the International register. A prerequisite for organizing the work of registers is the existence of uniform definitions, classifications, and coding of registered congenital malformations.
A Constructive Approach to Bivariate Hyperbolic Box Spline Functions
Authors: Jena Hrushikesh
Published: February 2025

This article is based on the construction procedure of bivariate hyperbolic box spline functions. Generally, box splines are considered as the multivariate generalizations of univariate B-splines. Both B-splines and box splines are refinable functions. Two different kinds of box splines like the polynomial box splines and the trigonometric box splines along with their usefulness are well studied in literature. However, another variant of box splines named as the class of hyperbolic box spline functions, has not gained much attention. This article focuses on the construction of bivariate hyperbolic box spline functions from univariate hyperbolic B-spline functions through directional convolution method. Also, the importance and usefulness of such functions are discussed.

The problem of textology of the newest poetry (experience of review)
Authors: Davydov D.M.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the situation in the textual criticism of the
latest Russian poetry. The methods used in traditional textual studies
do not quite work in relation to new literature, especially avant-garde
and underground. On the one hand, in the era of modernity and avantgarde and after, many authors deform their text, abandon normative spelling, punctuation, grammar, and this requires the attention of the publisher. At the same time, many authors do not think of the text as
final, creating all new versions. On the other hand, in conditions of
censorship, many authors exist outside of printed publications, distributing their texts in self-publishing or not making them public at

text becomes problematic. The fate of archives is often difficult, and
manuscripts are lost. The transition of many authors from paper to
digital documents creates additional textual problems. Genetic editing

Sociological Study of Disability and the Digital Divide among Youth with Disability in India
Authors: Anurag Singh
Published: February 2025

The present study investigates how historical sociological theories and modern technological developments with relation to disability. Both disability and digital inequality remain among the most pressing challenges confronting contemporary society. In India—where rapid technological advances coexist with enduring social disparities—the digital divide significantly affects disabled youth. The central research question guiding this study is— How do past perspectives on natural selection and social exclusion, in combination with contemporary technological disparities, shape the socioeconomic challenges faced by disabled youth in India? In addressing this question, the paper first re-examines classical theories—from Darwin’s natural selection and Spencer’s evolutionary framework to Durkheim’s and Marx’s sociological analyses—and then integrates insights from modern disability studies and Science, Technology, and Society (STS) research. The aim is to create a comprehensive theoretical framework that not only clarifies the historical underpinnings of disability exclusion but also critically examines how digital technology—its access, usage, and design—affects disabled youth today.

أثر العامل بين الامتداد والضياع
Authors: الرشيدي مضيان عواد
Published: February 2025

يتناول هذا البحث الحديث عن الأثر الذي يتركه العامل النحوي، ولكن من وجهة نظر جديدة، وهي فكرة الامتداد والضياع، إذ إن هناك مجموعة من المظاهر التركيبية تسمح لعمل العامل بالامتداد، وفي الوقت نفسه هناك مجموعة من الظروف التركيبية والأسباب التي تعيق امتداد عمل العامل، وبناء عليه فقد هدف البحث إلى توضيح فكرة امتداد عمل العامل النحوي، وبيان الحالات التركيبية التي تسمح له بالامتداد، ويهدف إلى الكشف عن أبرز الأسباب التي تفضي إلى ضياع عمل العامل على الرغم من وجود الحالة التركيبية التي لا تمنع من امتداده. وينقسم البحث إلى مقدمة وثلاثة أقسام، تناول الأول الحديث عن بيان مفهوم أثر العامل، في حين تناول الثاني الحديث عن مظاهر امتداد عمل العامل وطبيعة هذا الامتداد، في حين تناول الثالث الحديث عن ضياع أثر العامل ضمن التراكيب المختلفة. وقد توصل البحث لمجموعة من النتائج من أبرزها أن الأثر الذي يخلفه العامل إنما هو أثر إعرابي تركيبي يتمثل في العلامة الإعرابية، وأن أسباب ضياع العمل تتمثل في طول الكلام، والعطف على التوهم، والجر بالمجاورة.
الآخر وأزمة الهوية في رواية (ساق البامبو) لسعود السنعوسي
Authors: فراجي كريمة , سعدي إنشراح
Published: February 2025

يهدف هذا البحث إلى دراسة الهوية وانعكاساتها على الخطاب الروائي في رواية (ساق البامبو) لسعود السنعوسي وانعكاسها على الخطاب الروائي الخليجي عامة والكويتي خاصة، كون هذه البيئة تعاني من مشكلات الهويات -هويات مأزومة- وهذا ما جعل الهوية في الكويت ذات خصوصية شديدة شأنها شأن البلدان الخليجية التي تعاني من المشكلة ذاتها. ويعد نص رواية (ساق البامبو) لسعود السنعوسي نصا إشكاليا، انطلاقا من طرحه لعلاقة الهوية بالآخر من منظور سردي وثقافي جديد، ساعيا من خلاله إلى تصوير المجتمعات السلطوية، وكيفية معاناة الهويات المختلفة فيها من خلال الرواية التي تصور الاضطهاد والإقصاء ونفي الآخر. يتشكل ذلك في مقدمة ومبحثين، المبحث الأول: الاختلاف وأزمة الآخر، والمبحث الثاني: الهوية الإقصائية واستحالة التعايش، وتوصل البحث إلى أن رواية (ساق البامبو) قد تناولت هويات مختلفة، وهي الهويات المتشظية، والهويات المغلقة. وأنّ الهوية المغلقة في النص هي هوية المواطن الكويتي الذي يرفض رفضا قطعيا أن ينفتح على هويات أخرى وإن كانت هويات ارتبط بها وأنجب منها كما هي حالة "هوزيه"، وأن الهويات المتشظية تجلت في شخصية "هوزيه" الذي انقسم بين (الكويت /الفليبين) وحدث التشظي على مستوى الرفض من الآخر في البلدين، وعدم قدرته على إصباغ شرعية على جنسيته بحكم نسبه لأبيه (جنسية كويتية) التي بقيت تبحث عن الاعتراف المفقود.
POTENTIAL IRON AND VITAMIN C FROM MORINGA LEAVES AS A FOOD PRODUCT TO OVERCOME ANEMIA: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Hapsari Martina Widhi , Parameswari Genoveva Visi , Novianingrum Milka Putri
Published: February 2025

Anemia is a significant global health problem, especially in developing countries, with a high prevalence among adolescents and pregnant women. This study explores the potential of Moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves as a nutrient source rich in iron and vitamin C to address anemia. Moringa leaves contain iron up to 7 mg per 100 g and vitamin C as much as 1,89 mg/g, which plays an important role in increasing hemoglobin levels and absorption of non-heme iron. The method used was a literature study with information analysis from various relevant literature sources. The results show that consumption of moringa leaves in the form of food products, such as biscuits and flour, can significantly increase hemoglobin levels, especially in anemic adolescent girls and pregnant women. The interaction between iron and vitamin C in Moringa leaves supports hemoglobin formation and overall health. Therefore, the integration of moringa into the daily diet can be an effective strategy in preventing and overcoming anemia and improving public health.
