The search for aesthetic treatments is becoming increasingly common in clinics, with facial slimming being one of the most sought-after procedures. In an effort to address techniques less invasive than surgical procedures, the use of Microfocused Ultrasound (MFU) has been gaining prominence. This case report aims to evaluate the efficacy of MFU in facial slimming for a patient seeking to improve the contour of her face. Methodology: The treatment area was delimited by a line drawn from the labial commissure to the tragus, with a safety margin of 1cm on both sides. Both areas were divided into three columns (anterior, middle, and posterior) to receive the transducers. Ultrasound gel was applied to the skin before the procedure. The technology used was Reface. Initially, 4 MHz transducers with 4.5 mm depth and 0.9J power were applied to the area with 15 shots on both sides of the face, distributed as follows: six in the anterior column, six in the middle column, and three in the posterior column. Next, a 7 MHz transducer with 3.0 mm depth and 0.9J power was applied to the area with 15 shots on each side of the face, distributed similarly. The transducers were reoriented with each shot, advancing 1mm upward in both areas. These areas were chosen with the goal of slimming the middle third of the face. Results: The patient was evaluated after 60 days, and a reduction in volume on the left and right sides of the face, ranging from 1.02 to 1.79mm, was observed. The results were obtained through standardized photographs using Vectra software.

Essa investigação analisou uma proposta de planejamento pedagógico partindo da suposição que o saber procedente da abordagem transdisciplinar - dentre elas a psicanalítica e suas interfaces com a educação, a percepção do significado do futebol e do processo civilizatório - pode ser impactante em seus intentos nos diferentes contextos educacionais e socioculturais. Deste modo, a investigação teve como objetivo sugerir e refletir sobre alguns referenciais para a formação continuada e a ação do bom professortreinador, ampliando-se a abrangência da compreensão do alunoatleta na situação do jogo de futebol. O “processo formativo esportivo”, nomeadamente para esta investigação, se configurou quanto ao domínio que pesquisou e analisou a ação pedagógica no treinamento da modalidade, propondo a utilização do jogo enquanto dispositivo sublimatório e didático essencial no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Para tanto, abrangeu-se a intervenção do professortreinador e sua relação (contra) transferencial com o alunoatleta, nos procedimentos de transmissão e aquisição dos saberes. Assim sendo, concluiu-se e sugeriu-se que esta proposta fosse ajustada à menção da transdisciplinaridade, caracterizando o profissional na categoria de um “bom professortreinador” que seja, incessantemente, implicado por uma reflexão sobre sua ação: a práxis.
Reflections on evaluators' role in community needs assessment
Authors: Sheppard Sandra M , Fuerst Elyse
Published: December 2023

Evaluators play a critical role in shaping evaluation practices, but in practice this can be challenging to accomplish in ways that are productive as well as healing. This article discusses evaluation practices in the context of a project commissioned as needs-based to assist with community recovery after a racially motivated mass shooting in an urban neighbourhood marginalised by crime, income, race and unemployment. Development of an unmet needs survey included incorporating initial data collected by empowered community leaders with subsequent data collected by evaluators through focus groups and surveys. Evaluators then analysed and organised the data into a report that community leaders could submit to local and state officials. Identifying details were omitted out of an abundance of concern and respect for the privacy of the communities and constituents that were directly and indirectly affected by the tragedy that inspired this discourse.

This article presents a reflective discussion between evaluators on whether or not it would have been appropriate to suggest integrating an assets-based community development (ABCD) approach within a commissioned community needs assessment. It also covers the evaluators’ process of using a critical lens to retrospectively assess the appropriateness and effectiveness of adopting an asset-based community development (ABCD) approach. The discussion emphasises the importance of acknowledging and engaging with the diverse perspectives held by the wider evaluation community. It recognises, too, the value of ongoing dialogue and debate to encourage evaluators to critically reflect on the appropriateness and implications of integrating a variety of approaches within community needs assessments. This article also explores how the authors ‘made space’ for this conversation, including aspects of content analysis and consideration of crucial conversations, parameters and ethics, in the hope of further stimulating discussion and fostering a decision-making process that would encompass a range of viewpoints, ultimately driving more effective and responsive community development practices.
Front porch conversations: Methodological innovations to participatory action research and asset-based community development
Authors: Brewer Josh , Kliewer Brandon
Published: December 2023

Complex public problems are resistant to top-down, technical solutions creating the need for new and innovative ways of approaching community. In response, many practitioners working in community development organisations have embraced community strengths- or asset-based approaches to community development, including Asset Based Community Development (ABCD). Similarly, those scholars committed to social change have started to include action research/learning and participatory approaches to their research design, including Participatory Action Research (PAR). This article describes a qualitative method that was developed by a non-profit practitioner working for a local Habitat for Humanity affiliate and a researcher from a land-grant university in Manhattan, Kansas to operationalise a neighbourhood revitalisation framework with a community conversation series called Front Porch Conversations. The qualitative method developed by the university-nonprofit partnership –called the Front Porch Development Procedure – serves as both a PAR-informed mode of inquiry and an ABCD-informed mode of development. This method provides an example of how university-community partnerships can approach changemaking in novel ways by considering ABCD and PAR approaches.
Asset-based community development in an online context: Crafting collective experience into an asset of expertise
Authors: Close Samantha , Lohr Chiarra
Published: December 2023

This article analyses a case study for which an asset-based community development (ABCD) orientation was used to conduct community-based research (CBR). The community in question is, unusually, a digital community comprised of people who sell handmade crafts and vintage goods through digital marketplace platforms. This project, headed by a team of one academic and one community organiser, demonstrates a process by which CBR can be initiated by a community itself in order to effect change in the structural inequalities with which they are faced. To do so, we argue that community members’ expertise is a key asset, both individually and when collectivised through the research process. Involving community members in research on this basis helps change the way they look at themselves and their situation, and strengthens the bonds of this virtual community.
Formation of a transdisciplinary community of practice in rural areas, with an interactive database of co-created knowledge: A case study in Noto, Japan

Many rural areas suffer from severe depopulation, and the absence of a university is one reason for outmigration. Where research and education are valued, however, such rural areas can attract scholars and students visiting from universities and other external institutions. Scholarly outputs of research, such as research articles and project reports, particularly those from community-based research (CBR), can themselves become an asset for use by local communities. We consider that CBR can contribute to asset-based community development (ABCD) when a transdisciplinary community of practice (TDCOP) emerges and drives the processes of collaborative creation and use of the knowledge. A particularly critical mechanism, which is currently lacking, is to allow the local community to collect knowledge outputs and make them easily available to interested actors within and outside of the community. We assume that a core tool in this mechanism is an interactive database. It can be equipped with a user interface, allowing enjoyable and active searches, and possibly a mechanism by which users themselves can contribute to gradual development of the database. We formed a study group of researchers and practitioners to conduct a case study in the Noto region of Japan. We identified the existing assets in Noto, including the knowledge created through CBR, and then collected and shared our own experiences and practices, as well as lessons learned from other regions in Japan, to explore the principles of designing a database. A CBR database should not only be a static inventory of past research, but also capable of facilitating new cycles of knowledge co-creation. With a comprehensive and easily accessible inventory of knowledge in place, we conclude that there is high potential in enabling CBR itself to be an asset, which can help achieve ABCD in rural communities.
The impact of distance to school on primary school enrolment in Samburu County, Kenya
Authors: Lanyasunya Andrew Ropilo
Published: December 2023

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of distance to school on primary school enrolment in Samburu County, Kenya. The need for the study arose from the fact that even while education is a fundamental human right and a necessary condition for empowerment, it is still not widely available to pastoralists who live on the move. Notwithstanding, Kenya has made formal education a priority in her policies. However, despite primary schools’ Gross Enrolment Rates in Kenya reaching 95 per cent, in some nomadic pastoral areas like Samburu, it was 41.3 per cent. The study findings reveal that a facility-specific factor, such as distance, is the main factor affecting access to basic formal education in Samburu district and, by implication, other nomadic pastoral areas. The results of the study revealed that the association between distance to the nearest school and access to basic formal education was very strong, as indicated by the value of the contingency coefficient (0.76), and was very significant statistically. This implies that the deliberate provision of more schools closer to the people and/or promotion of alternative education opportunities in the district is likely to increase access to basic formal education. This is due to the fact that the households will be living in close proximity to education facilities, thus enhancing their utilisation. Consequently, the enrolment rate of children will be boosted, thus improving access to basic formal education. As a result, the study recommends that more schools be made available in nomadic pastoral areas and that other alternative forms of education be promoted.

Published: December 2023

Background: We analyzed the effects of a homeopathic therapies to control subclinical mastitis in two dairy herds. Two experimental herds were used, one in the municipality of São Carlos, SP (Herd A) and the other in Bagé, RS (Herd B), with 46 and 37 lactating animals, respectively. Milk yield, somatic cell count (SCC), and levels of fat, protein, lactose and total solids were evaluated. Milk samples were collected for microbiological confirmation of mastitis. The lactating cows were divided into four groups formed on each of the two farms: cows with mastitis, treated and untreated, and healthy cows, also with and without homeopathic treatment. The occurrence of mastitis was compared between groups using the chi-square test. Means of continuous variables were compared by means of the Tukey-Kramer test. The herd effect on SCC, milk yield, and other compositional aspects was determined in treated and untreated animals, using multiple correspondence analysis. Results: No difference was found in the occurrence of mastitis between treated and untreated animals in Herd B, but in Herd A, mastitic cows were more commonly cured in the untreated group (P<0.05). No differences were detected in milk production and composition between treated and untreated cows with mastitis. Differences in SCC were observed only between mastitic and healthy animals because of heightened cellular response to the invasion of the mammary gland by microorganisms. Conclusions: No correspondence was found between the treated and untreated groups. Overall, our findings suggest that homeopathic treatment did not improve milk quality and production of experimental animals.

Abstract. Data assimilation techniques that integrate available observations with snow models have been proposed as a viable option to simultaneously help constrain model uncertainty and add value to observations by improving estimates of the snowpack state. However, the propagation of information from spatially sparse observations in high-resolution simulations remains an under-explored topic. To remedy this, the development of data assimilation techniques that can spread information in space is a crucial step. Herein, we examine the potential of spatio-temporal data assimilation for integrating sparse snow depth observations with hyper-resolution (5 m) snow simulations in the Izas central Pyrenean experimental catchment (Spain). Our experiments were developed using the Multiple Snow Data Assimilation System (MuSA) with new improvements to tackle the spatio-temporal data assimilation. Therein, we used a deterministic ensemble smoother with multiple data assimilation (DES-MDA) with domain localization. Three different experiments were performed to showcase the capabilities of spatio-temporal information transfer in hyper-resolution snow simulations. Experiment I employed the conventional geographical Euclidean distance to map the similarity between cells. Experiment II utilized the Mahalanobis distance in a multi-dimensional topographic space using terrain parameters extracted from a digital elevation model. Experiment III utilized a more direct mapping of snowpack similarity from a single complete snow depth map together with the easting and northing coordinates. Although all experiments showed a noticeable improvement in the snow patterns in the catchment compared with the deterministic open loop in terms of correlation (r=0.13) and root mean square error (RMSE = 1.11 m), the use of topographical dimensions (Experiment II, r=0.63 and RMSE =  0.89 m) and observations (Experiments III, r=0.92 and RMSE =  0.44 m) largely outperform the simulated patterns in Experiment I (r=0.38 and RMSE = 1.16 m). At the same time, Experiments II and III are considerably more challenging to set up. The results of these experiments can help pave the way for the creation of snow reanalysis and forecasting tools that can seamlessly integrate sparse information from national monitoring networks and high-resolution satellite information.
Aproximaciones a la violencia contra las mujeres en la narrativa de ficción latinoamericana reciente
Authors: Navarrete Barría Sandra Beatriz
Published: December 2023

El presente estudio propone un acercamiento panorámico a un corpus de narrativas recientes que se aproximan al tema de la violencia sobre el cuerpo de las mujeres. Para ello nos concentraremos en un grupo de novelas de México, Colombia, Chile y Argentina que abordan esta problemática, desde distintos ángulos temáticos y matices estéticos. Este corpus, abordado en conjunto, nos permite trabajar bajo la siguiente hipótesis: las ficciones narrativas que elaboran la violencia actual contra las mujeres configuran un marco interpretativo renovador que viene a complejizar y amplificar las coordenadas de comprensión de este problema. Nuestro objetivo principal es analizar los distintos modos en los que estas narrativas van tejiendo una reformulación de lo que significa la violencia de género, en nuestro contexto latinoamericano actual.
Ecología del afecto en la literatura: “Soñarán en el jardín”, de Gabriela Damián Miravete

Published: December 2023

En el ejercicio de escritura especulativa que propone Gabriela Damián Miravete, escritora mexicana, me permite poner en práctica la metodología inédita que denomino filosofía ficcional y de la que emanan varias perspectivas de análisis que voy a desplegar para analizar el cuento "Soñarán en el jardín" específicamente la ontología sintética y el trabajo de duelo. Estas perspectivas de análisis que propongo, a su vez, forman parte de mi investigación más reciente: la ecología del afecto. Una investigación que se dio a la luz de situaciones personales-profesionales en las que he estado inmersa los últimos años y que me han permitido pensar el pluralismo ontológico y el materialismo vitalista como el que de manera magistral elabora Damián Miravete en su cuento.

Modelo de flexibilização curricular e reforma do Ensino Médio
Authors: Reis Patrícia Sobrinho , Rodrigues Doriedson do Socorro
Published: December 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir as bases teóricas do modelo de flexibilização estabelecido pela Lei 13.415/2017 e adotado pelos “reformadores” do ensino médio, que estabelece itinerários formativos atrelados à ideia de projeto de vida. A pesquisa, fruto de um estudo documental sobre a Lei 13.415/2017, a BNCC/2018, as DCNEM/2018 e a Portaria MEC 1.432/2018, se fundamenta em autores do campo marxista, como Frigotto (2010), Araujo (2019), Ciavatta (2020), Krawczyk (2014) e Silva (2003; 2018), para compreender a atual política de flexibilização educacional neoliberal orientada para o final da educação básica, analisando a flexibilização adotada na atual reforma do ensino médio e tomando como conceitos de análise a atomização e a integração curricular, discutida por Santomé (1998). Concluímos que a atual reforma propõe um discurso de política de formação integral, oposta a uma perspectiva de ensino médio integrado, que atomiza o currículo, os projetos de vida das juventudes, e reduz as escolhas de projetos de formação, qualificação e trabalho desses jovens. A base teórica que sustenta o discurso da atual reforma do ensino médio pauta-se em uma perspectiva pragmática e instrumental de formação, que hierarquiza atividades curriculares, silencia questões sociais, minimaliza o currículo e o conhecimento científico, e individualiza a formação.

Desde finais do século XV procurava edificar-se um hospital de peste na cidade de Lisboa. A construção, inicialmente provisória, teve vários projetos, características e localizações. O presente artigo procura, partindo da documentação municipal, reconstituir o processo de instituição e construção do hospital de peste lisboeta, contribuindo para um aspeto pouco conhecido e sistematizado da história da saúde pública na cidade de Lisboa e da arquitetura hospitalar portuguesa. De igual modo, pretende-se destacar esta construção no contexto do desenvolvimento da doutrina que entendia a peste como doença contagiosa e que fundamentou a elaboração de diversos regulamentos e legislação para o controlo da doença em diversas cidades da Europa, sendo uma das principais medidas a criação de hospitais de peste e lazaretos.
The influence and function of the public art industry on aesthetic education under the background of new curriculum reform
Authors: Huang Yihui , Zheng Gangqiang
Published: December 2023

This study takes the decoration of subway murals in the new era as the research entry point, and focuses on the impact of the new era curriculum reform on art education. Then, from the perspective of the artistic connotation and form evaluation of subway murals, it elaborates on the artistic design points of subway murals, and focuses on analyzing the application value of subway murals in enhancing an urban vitality, enhancing urban aesthetic value, inheriting regional culture, and displaying urban image, Furthermore, the overall cultural value of subway murals was analyzed. Finally, starting from the new forms of art education under the influence of public art, this paper explores the practical significance of unleashing students' independent potential and fully integrating with art practice for aesthetic education. After that, it introduces the application of modern technology in public art education, and comprehensively proposes the guiding role of public art in aesthetic education. Research has found that aesthetic education in the new era should follow the social laws of public art development, emphasizing the "combination" of spatial cultural expression and location orientation, the "connection" of spatial cultural layout points, lines, and surfaces, and the "integration" of traditional culture and modern civilization in the education process. By "combining", "connecting", and "integrating", a personalized cultural expression of the site is formed, thereby forming a cultural system for the integrated development of the line and network. In the new era of art education, attention should be paid to regional culture as the soul of urban personality quality. The "environmental characteristic information" contained in it is a design source that stitches the underground and above ground environmental zones, endowing similar spatial structures of subway stations with significant recognition and memory points.

Authors: Phuc Tran Thai , Hao Tang Thi
Published: December 2023

Background: During menopause transitions, fluctuate hormone levels make menopausal women susceptible to mental and physical disorders that affect their quality of life. Research on menopauserelated problems, especially among rural women, are currently insufficient. With that sense, our objective is to investigate signs of dysfunction and quality of life (QOL) in menopausal women in Vietnam, 2021.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 296 menopausal women aged 45-60 in 2 communes Tan Phong, Tan Hoa, Vu Thu district, Thai Binh province, Vietnam. Data was collected with 2 study tools: The Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) scale and the World Health Organization’s quality of life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF).

Results: 68.2% of women participating in the study has mild-moderate, severe-very severe symptoms 7.4% and 24.3% of women has no menopausal symptoms. The average score of the QOL is 66.0±8.4. The highest quality score in the field of environment is 21.5±3.7, the lowest is in the field of social relations with 8.7±2.1.

Conclusions: Menopause causes physical, mental and urogenital problems. Almost all domains evaluated were impaired in menopausal women and affect their quality of life. Education, creating awareness and providing suitable intervention to improve the QOL of menopausal women are important at both the individual and community level.

Introduction: Healthcare workers play an important role in the delivery of healthcare around the world. The purpose of this analysis was to explore the impact of healthcare workers’ organizational commitment, controlling for demographic variables, on job satisfaction, particularly in the context of the mid-career health sector going through a stressful period in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: This study used a hospital assessment toolkit issued by the Vietnamese Ministry of Health, surveying 156 medical staffs directly providing health care services at Thai Thuy General Hospital, Thai Binh province.

Results: The analysis results by the PLS-SEM structural equation model show that, when the cohesion of medical staff is improved, it will lead to a higher level of job completion. Besides, the medical staff must concurrently take on other jobs, which will negatively affect the level of job completion.

Conclusion: This implies that the level of the job performance of healthcare workers can depend to a large extent on the organizational commitment and the medical staff’s single duty.

Authors: Anh Ngo Nguyen Quynh , Xuan Dam Thanh , Chien Nguyen Ngoc
Published: December 2023

Probiotics are gaining increasing attention due to their significant benefits to the host. Despite their potential advantages, probiotic dosage forms have not been extensively studied, primarily because of their poor survival through the gastrointestinal tract. Probiotic tablets emerge as a promising delivery system utilized in nutritional products to supplement the natural intestinal flora. These tablets possess the capability to deliver live, functional bacteria in sufficiently large quantities, ensuring effectiveness, and providing protection against the harsh conditions of the gastrointestinal and biliary tract environment, thereby ensuring in vivo protection and maintaining viability during preparation. Various adverse effects that impact the effectiveness of probiotics are associated with preparation methods and user factors. This review primarily focuses on probiotic tablets, delving into factors influencing the existence of microorganisms and the development of formulations for probiotic tablets.

Background: Diabetes is one of the most widespread endocrine disease with increasingly prevalence in developing countries. Kidney disorder is a frequent comorbidity in type 2 diabetic patients. In these patients, there are some particular characters that affect on treatment and prognosis. Verifying these factors can improve the result of treatment.

Objectives: To describe the result of glycemia management in type 2 diabetes patients and kidney disorder treated in Vinh Phuc General Hospital in Vietnam, 2023.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 123 type 2 patients diagnosed with diabetes and kidney disorder treated in Vinh Phuc general Hospital.

Results: The average of patients age is 70,62 ± 9,62. Average duration of disease is 70,62 ± 9,62. The patienst was treated with insulin isolated is 76,4%. The propotion of target FBG on the first day and 90th is 35,8% and 42,3%. Moderate to good adherence by Morisky scale on the first and 90th elevated from 68,3% to 91,2%.

Conclusions: Type 2 diabetic with kidney disorder in our sample seem to be more frequent in elderly population, have long duration of disease, mostly be treated with insulin isolated. The proportion of target FBG is low. Dietary patterns, physical activity, medication adherence get improve after intervention.

Body Movement in the Liturgy as Nonverbal Communication
Authors:   Scoala Doctorală – Religie, Cultură, Societate (Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai), Cluj-Napoca, Faragó István
Published: December 2023

The Christian man is homo viator, a pilgrim on the road. In the liturgy, we can meet the One who is the goal of our pilgrimage, already here on earth. The Church facilitates this encounter and communication between God and man in the liturgy by means of various non-verbal elements – elements that address the human body and its sense organs and that set man in motion. The person addressed sets out on a path, a pilgrimage towards the heavenly Jerusalem with the help of grace. In our study, we focus on three of the bodily movements in the liturgy, namely those observed in the offertory, the elevation and the Communion rites. In each of these ritual parts, we explore the inviting, pathbreaking power of the non-verbal elements.
Letter of P. Csiszér Elek OFM Minister Provincial to the Guardian of Marosvásárhely
Authors:   Scoala Doctorală – Religie, Cultură, Societate (Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai), Cluj-Napoca, Urbán János, fr. Erik OFM
Published: December 2023

The reform initiative of the Transylvanian Franciscan Order dates back to 1879, the year of the ordination of our fellow monk Elek Csiszér. While experiencing the inner, loose monastic life, he asked for permission to go to a more austere community. He did not receive permission, but he did gain permission to live a more austere life. Along with some of his fellow friars, he began a reform. The reform was not implemented in one year – it is recorded that it took almost two decades to put the reform that involved the ministry of four provincials into practice. Prayer, the wearing of the habitus, fasting, money management and community life were common themes in the circulars.
Multiband acquisition sequences for fMRI: Proceed with caution
Authors: Wall Matthew B
Published: December 2023

Multiband or simultaneous multi-slice acquisition sequences for fMRI have become popular over the last decade, partly because of the influence of the approach taken in large-scale studies such as the Human Connectome Project. However, applying this type of highly-accelerated, high-resolution sequence to smaller-scale projects may come with significant drawbacks in terms of signal to noise ratio, reliability, and experimental power. In particular, the use of smaller voxels, short repetition times, and high levels of multiband acceleration may have strong negative effects on signal to noise, image artefacts, and signal dropout in medial and ventral brain regions. Multiband sequences can be valuable tools, particularly for specialist applications, but should be applied in smaller-scale studies judiciously, with a focus on a particular project’s endpoints, and after appropriate testing and pilot work.

Published: December 2023

El presente trabajo se enfocó en el estudio del consumo de alcohol en estudiantes de la Universidad Privada del Valle, ya que su consumo excesivo puede desencadenar efectos negativos a nivel social, familiar, en el desenvolvimiento académico, así como también en su salud. Así mismo se tomaron encuestas sobre las creencias del alcohol y el conocimiento respecto a su consumo para analizar con escalas de valoración que se encuentran desglosados en el acápite correspondiente, y delimitar la existencia de posibles problemas a causa de su consumo, catalogar la dependencia alcohólica y establecer la prevalencia de los efectos secundarios. En cuanto a los resultados se obtuvo que una población de 209 estudiantes, de los cuales se obtuvieron en la detección del síndrome de dependencia al alcohol en el ámbito sanitario (AUDIT - Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) que el 43,5% se encuentra en un riesgo medio, lo que nos da a entender que puede que en ocasiones beba demasiado y pone en riesgo al estudiante por lo que se debe intentar  reducir el consumo de alcohol o dejar de beber completamente; en cuanto al nivel de conocimiento sobre los efectos del consumo de alcohol se encontró que el 45,5% tiene un conocimiento suficiente; por otro lado el nivel de dependencia alcohólica es de 51,2 %, se encuentra dentro de los rangos de dependencia leve.

Private security entities gradually play an increasingly important role in the field of activities related to ensuring security at the national and international level. Over the past few years, they have become an integral part of the state security systems in many countries. This is also why contracts from private entities in the form of various types of private security agencies currently reach several hundred billion dollars a year. For this reason, with the help of basic scientific research methods, the attention will be paid to the issue of private security agencies. In addition to our own knowledge and findings, we use also relevant theoretical starting points found in the works of renowned foreign and domestic authors dealing with the investigated issue and the information provided in official documents of international organizations.

Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic and at the same time, the largest number of violent conflicts since 1946 are causing record-high numbers of people to be forcibly displaced from their homes. That includes the Israeli-Hamas conflict and war on Ukraine, which is not only causing immense human suffering but is also playing a role in precipitating a global food, energy, and financial crisis. As a result, the world now faces its worst cost-of-living crisis in a generation. This paper sets out the human security today from the perspective of japanese foreign policy.
Software testing and release decision at different statistical confidence levels with consideration of debuggers’ learning and negligent factors
Authors: Yeh Chun-Wu , Fang Chih-Chiang
Published: December 2023

This research delves into the software testing process and its environmental factors to uncover the core elements influencing software reliability. Specifically, it focuses on the learning and negligent aspects of the software reliability growth model. The learning factor accelerates reliability growth, leading to an S-shaped curve in the mean value function, while the negligent factor highlights the occurrence of imperfect debugging. The study also uses Brownian motion and stochastic differential equations to establish statistical confidence intervals for reliability and costs. These intervals aid software managers in assessing potential release risks at various confidence levels, allowing them to make informed decisions considering resource constraints and desired system reliability levels across different scenarios.
