Anatomical bases of the latissimus dorsi flap to close of cerebrospinal fluid fistulas
Authors: Moretti Ernesto A , Barrovecchio Juan Carlos , Pelaez Juan Manuel , Cortadi Pablo , Cordero Cesar
Published: September 2024

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistulas are a real problem for their resolution. Due to the formation and constant pressure, added to the effect of the liquid on the tissues where the fistula is located, they do not close. Repair of the meninges must be carried out (generally with synthetic materials) and it is also necessary to provide vital tissues for definitive closure. Among the options described is the latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous or myocutaneous flap (LD flap) – musculus latissimus dorsi (TA) for the immediate reconstruction of dorsal defect fistulas, providing a good volume of tissue. The flap bases its circulation on the primary pedicle (subscapular vessels) with mobilization of the muscle towards the dorsal column. The present work presents the anatomical principles in fresh dissections of the LD flap. Detailed dissections of the pedicles that supply the flap are shown, as well as surgical bases to elevate the flap and transpose it towards the dorsal region. A clinical case is presented where LD flap was successfully used to close a cerebrospinal fluid fistula after oncological surgery for a dorsal column tumor

Towards A Resilient And Sustainable Future: Examining The Interplay Of Procurement 4.0, Process Optimization, And Environmental Uncertainty
Authors: Iqbal Javed , Ali Dr. Arfan
Published: September 2024

International agreements like the 2030 Agenda and scholarly research show that businesses keep doing what they're doing; they need to put in extra effort to make the world more sustainable. To achieve this, businesses must implement sustainable practices by adopting cutting-edge technologies to optimize their processes. The emergence of new technologies and companies' digital transformation towards these technologies is revolutionizing companies' operational and administrative processes and creating innovative digital products and services. This study aims to identify how procurement 4.0 implementation and digital transformations are related and how digital transformation impacts the intention to optimize the procurement process in achieving organizational sustainability performance. The moderating can't effect of environmental uncertainty is also investigated. We surveyed large-scale manufacturers in Pakistan and analyzed survey results using covariance-based structural equation modeling (SEM) through AMOS-24. The respondents of this study were 397 procurement professionals who had relevant knowledge about the understudied area. The findings of this empirical study[1] revealed the positive influence of procurement 4.0 implementation on procurement process optimization. Moreover, results confirmed the mediating role of procurement process optimization in enhancing organizational sustainability performance. Furthermore, results revealed that technological environment uncertainty significantly moderates the relationship between procurement 4.0 implementation and procurement process optimization.
Originality: The concept of "procurement 4.0" has recently emerged and is not widely researched yet. Especially in the context of emerging economies, it is very novel. Hence, this study can contribute a lot to digitalization literature, particularly in the context of 4.0.

Authors: Sarıkaya Sinan
Published: September 2024

Anonim şirketlerde yönetim kurulu toplantısına çağrı hususunun doğurduğu problemler uzun süredir doktrin ve yargıyı meşgul etmektedir. Yönetim kurulu başkanı veya onun yokluğunda başkan vekilinin toplantı çağrısı yapmaya yetkili olduğu genel kabuldür. Ancak bu kabul, özellikle farklı menfaat grupları ve çatışmaların bulunduğu şirketlerde, başkanın yetkisini kötüye kullanarak toplantı çağrısını adeta krize dönüştürmesini engellememektedir. Yönetim kurulu başkanı ve başkan vekilinin toplantı çağrısı yapmamakta ısrar etmesi halinde, üyelerin doğrudan veya mahkemeye başvuru yoluyla çağrı yapıp yapamayacakları tartışılmakta; kurulu toplantıya çağırabilmek için çareler aranmakta, öneriler sıralanmaktadır. Kanun koyucu söz konusu tartışmalara ve uyuşmazlıklara son vermek adına, 7511 sayılı Türk Ticaret Kanunu ile Bazı Kanunlarda Değişiklik Yapılmasına Dair Kanun m. 15 ile TTK m. 392/VII’de önemli değişiklikler yapmıştır. Buna göre bireysel talepler ile çoğunluk oluşturmayacak sayıda üyenin istemlerinde, başkana, çağrı yapma konusunda takdir yetkisi tanınmıştır. Üyelerin çoğunluğunun istemi üzerine ise başkanın çağrı yapması zorunlu tutulmuştur. Başkanın belirli bir sürede bu zorunluluğa uygun davranmaması halinde istem sahiplerine doğrudan çağrı yetkisi verilmiştir. Makalemizde yönetim kurulu toplantı çağrısına ilişkin yenilikler, Kıta Avrupası’ndaki bazı düzenlemeler ile karşılaştırmalı olarak ve eleştirel bir gözle ele alınmakta; değişikliğin yetersiz kaldığı noktalarda düzenleme önerileri getirilmektedir.

It aims to provide insights for policymakers, designers, and cultural practitioners to enhance the sustainability and cultural relevance of traditional handicrafts through co-design.
Sustainable Slope Stability Analysis Using Finite Element Method on Clay and Andesite Materials
Authors: Nata Refky Adi , Ren Gaofeng , Fadhilah  , Syahmer Verra
Published: September 2024

Worldwide mining, civil, and environmental engineering projects depend on the safe and sustainable development of slope stability assessments. The study is being conducted at PT. Parambahan Jaya Abadi's mining business license area. 3 slopes are the object of research whose constituent materials are clay and andesite stone. The purpose of this study is to determine the values of Sigma 1, Sigma 3, and FoS slopes which are the basis for determining the stability of a slope. The finite element method (FEM) estimates the factor of safety through an elastic-plastic finite element analysis by progressively decreasing the soil or rock strength variables until failure. From the results, Slope 3 has the greatest values for both cohesion and internal friction angle. The soil's resistance to friction increases with the φ value, indicating a more stable slope. The tensile strength between soil grains and slope stability increases with an increasing value of C. The three slopes are categorized as Good rocks (Rock Class II). The value of sigma 1 is decreasing as seen by the three slopes. The amount of shear stress that needs to be resisted by soil particle cohesion and friction increases with an increasing sigma value of 1. Sigma 3's value is likewise decreasing concerning its upward value. The deviatory stress needed to achieve the limit of plasticity increases with increasing sigma value of 3. The lowest FoS value of the three slopes occurred on slope 1, which was FoS = 3. A FoS value greater than 1.3 indicates that the slope is in a stable state. The Critical SRF value of 4.15 is the same for slopes 1, 2, and 3.  Meanwhile, on slopes 1, 2, and 3, the greatest displacement values were 1,499, 1,486, and 1,490. Knowing each maximum displacement amount may help to remind us that if movement occurs beyond that value, a slope is deemed unstable (possible for landslides). Because of this, the company can respond swiftly to prevent landslides on the hillsides. This can be accomplished by putting in place a system of regular slope monitoring and slope strengthening.
Solving NP-complete Problems Efficiently
Authors: Vega Frank
Published: September 2024

The P versus NP problem is a fundamental question in computer science. It asks whether problems whose solutions can be quickly verified can also be quickly solved. Here, "quickly" refers to computational time that grows proportionally to the size of the input (polynomial time). While the problem's roots trace back to a 1955 letter from John Nash, its formalization is attributed to Stephen Cook and Leonid Levin. Despite extensive research, a definitive answer remains elusive. Closely tied to this is the concept of NP-completeness. If a single NP-complete problem could be solved efficiently, it would imply that all problems in NP can be solved efficiently, proving that P equals NP. Garey and Johnson defined K-CLOSURE such that for any edge $(u, v)$ in the directed graph, either node $u$ is in the set $V'$ or node $v$ is not in $V'$. This implies that either both nodes are in $V'$ or both are not in $V'$. Our previous work in IPI Letters presented a polynomial-time algorithm for K-CLOSURE. While no errors have been identified in this work, many believe that Garey and Johnson's original definition was incorrect, and their citation of Queyranne was a misunderstanding. Many argue that the empty set serves as a simple counterexample to Garey and Johnson's definition of K-CLOSURE. This paper proposes that K-CLOSURE is actually an NP-complete problem, which would imply that P equals NP.

This study proposes a novel federated learning framework for optimizing intelligent edge computing resource scheduling. The framework addresses the challenges of device heterogeneity, non-IID data distribution, and communication overhead in edge environments. We introduce an adaptive client selection mechanism considering computational capabilities, energy status, and data quality. A personalized model training approach is implemented to handle non-IID data effectively using multi-task learning and local batch normalization layers. The framework incorporates efficient model aggregation techniques and communication-efficient updates to reduce bandwidth consumption. The privacy policy, including the difference between privacy and collective security, has been integrated to improve data protection. We develop scheduling problems based on multi-objective optimization, combining the best in computing and communication while updating local and global guidelines. Extensive testing on a wide range of data shows that the framework is superior regarding connection speed, resource utilization, and model performance. The proposed method achieves a 15% improvement in model accuracy and a 40% reduction in communication overhead compared to learning state-of-the-art algorithms.

OPTIMAL DECISION-MAKING FOR NEWSPAPER INVENTORY: BALANCING DEMAND UNCERTAINTY AND PROFITABILITY
Authors: Sarker MD Sazzad
Published: September 2024

Estimating cost-benefit analysis, calculating the real value of anything before buying it is essential in order to know if this purchase is fetching or not. In the industry of selling newspapers, since demand is determined by various unpredictable features like news quality and types of reader interest, it may be difficult to estimate how many copies you should buy daily. On the other hand, this study addresses the classic Newsvendor Problem by analyzing a single-period inventory management model to find the optimal order quantity that maximizes profit. Simulating different demand scenarios up to 20 days into the future, using financial-based assumptions (e.g.: selling price, buying cost, and salvage value) on order quantities in order to investigate profits. The results show that we can identify the optimal level of order quantity in the cost-benefit analysis and profit analysis under different demand situations. This method reduces both excess waste and missed sales opportunities, making an optimal answer for inventory alignment in sought-after uncertainty-based industries. The insights of this analysis are not just relevant to newspaper sales but also to all comparable industries where accurate inventory management becomes challenging.
Logistics Business Intelligence and Performance of Courier Firms in Nairobi County, Kenya
Authors: Muna Regina Wanjiku , Chege Dennis
Published: September 2024

The logistics function is a crucial cost driver for firms, particularly within the courier industry, where logistics expenses can account for up to 50% of sales revenue. This presents a significant challenge for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) lacking the infrastructure to manage these costs. In Africa, the population of over 1.3 billion and a combined GDP of approximately $2.6 trillion contribute to substantial logistics costs, estimated at $3.5 trillion annually. Courier firms in Nairobi County, Kenya, face similar pressures, driving the need for improved logistical operations. Despite efforts to reduce costs, 67% of logistics cost-reduction initiatives fail due to poor execution, largely attributed to a lack of stakeholder involvement and supply chain visibility. This study, guided by the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory, aimed to examine the relationship between logistics business intelligence and the performance of courier firms in Nairobi County. Using a descriptive research design, data was collected from a sample of 72 courier firms, with findings indicating a weak but positive correlation between logistics business intelligence and courier firm performance. The study concluded that logistics business intelligence significantly influences performance, recommending investments in staff training, technological integration, flexible operational policies, and enhanced reverse logistics. Further research is suggested on logistics business intelligence in other sectors and the role of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain in the logistics industry.
Resilience Building in Indian Adolescents
Authors: Singh Sumit
Published: September 2024

The study examined the resilience of Indian adolescents, specifically exploring the variations in resilience characteristics between genders. The study investigated a sample of 124 adolescents from the Khordha district. The descriptive statistics indicated that there were moderate levels of resilience observed in all categories, and there were no significant differences between males and female adolescents. The results also indicated that gender does not have a significant effect on resilience characteristics. This challenges the initial belief that boys would exhibit better levels of resilience in some areas. The results are consistent with previous research indicating that resilience is affected by a range of external and intervention- related factors, rather than being only determined by gender. Research studies emphasize the efficacy of focused interventions and support structures in bolstering resilience, as exemplified by inner-city programs and institutional care settings. In summary, the study suggests that resilience is a dynamic process influenced by several factors, not limited to gender.

Furthermore, organizational culture is shown to positively influence performance, highlighting its role in moderating the relationship between work discipline and performance. These findings underscore the significant impact of both work discipline and organizational culture on enhancing organizational outcomes. In conclusion, organizational culture plays a critical moderating role, amplifying the positive effects of work discipline on organizational performance. Future research should explore additional factors that may influence employee performance, including managerial support, work environment, job satisfaction, and individual personality traits. It is also recommended that future studies be guided by current literature and consider aspects of organizational commitment.

Authors: Soltani Walid , Chellougui Faïza
Published: September 2024

Our paper reports on the  the fondations  of inductive reasoning, more precisely,  the reasons for the conflicts betwen several scientists around the place, the notion of induction and its role in differents sciences, in particular mathematics. We start from an epistemological and didactic reflection of this reasoning to understand this concept. First, we present the epistemological problem of induction in relation to its meaning and validity. These problems highlight the complexity of induction.This leads us,in a second step,   to set up a typology of the notion of induction developed by philosophers,linguists,empiricists and mathematicians. Finally ,we present a didactic analysis of mathematical induction which highlights the specific comprehension difficulties of learners and emphasizes the interaction between mathematics and computer science , in particular the relationship between mathematical induction and recursion.
Turning waste into wonder: Recycling agricultural wastes for controlled drug delivery systems

To make these materials, we used a simple oven muffle furnace for heating the sugarcane bagasse agricultural wastes (SCB) under controlled conditions transformed it into valuable carbon nanostructures. We discovered that both graphene oxide (GO) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was acted like carriers for drugs for controllable drug release. This makes them ideal for creating drug delivery systems. Instead of swallowing a pill that releases its entire dose at once, these carbon carriers can slowly release the medication over time, providing a more sustained and controlled effect. The study showed that CNTs were particularly good at holding onto drugs compared to GO. This makes them promising candidates for future drug delivery applications.

To report the effectiveness of stem cell treatment in diabetic neuropathy. This study recruited 83 Iraqi females from 45 to 73 years old who had NIDDM between August 31, 2020 and June 30, 2023. All of them had a "Diabetic neuropathy symptom score (DNS)" (grade 3–4) and a "Diabetic foot sensory neuropathy score" (grade 1-2). They all had HbA1c (10-13%) from 7 to 10 years. The patient/family provided informed permission when they visited the "Al Zahrawy Center for Stem Cells in Baghdad". For four treatment sessions (once every three weeks), Hamad dispersed stem cells around the tibial and deep peroneal nerves. Among 83 Iraqi females, 49 (59.1%) had a grade 4 "Diabetic neuropathy symptom score" upon presentation, which decreased to 24.2% in 20 females after three months of medication. Their "Diabetic foot sensory neuropathy (DNS)" was (54.3%) in 45 females at presentation and decreased to (21.8%) in 18 females after three months of treatment. The satisfaction rate for therapy was 74.6% for the "Diabetic neuropathy symptom score" and 78.3% for "Diabetic foot sensory neuropathy (DNS)". Stem cell therapy is a good treatment option for diabetic neuropathy. The researchers supported it and suggested a greater sample size in other places.

Authors: Al-Meyah Khtam Al-Meyah , Dahoos Zainab Bager
Published: September 2024

Autism is a condition in which children have difficulties interacting with others or exhibit differences in how they interact with people. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may respond well to web-based learning because computers can offer features such as repetition, visual stimuli, and independent interactions that appeal to them. However, there have been limited studies on websites (behavioral and educational), especially outside of institutional settings. The aim of this research is to assess the effectiveness of interactive digital programs used to teach individuals with learning difficulties, tailored to their capabilities and needs. Modern technology has provided interactive and educational opportunities through picture books. This research involves designing an educational website for children with autism, including a program to teach them basic concepts necessary for daily life, such as the Arabic alphabet, to enable them to form complete words and, consequently, complete sentences. Additionally, the program teaches numbers, enabling children to count and perform arithmetic problems such as counting money and telling time. The main interface page displays eight images that change every seven seconds automatically or via navigation links on the right and left sides of the image. A six-page website was designed, covering topics such as what autism is, symptoms, diagnosis, and more. Web technologies were utilized in the website design, with HTML as the primary language. To analyze some aspects of this study's results, the use of the computer screen is intended to capture the autistic child's attention, helping them remain in one place and stay focused on the screen for as long as possible. If a mother or female teacher can keep a child engaged with the screen for 5-10 minutes, it is considered a significant achievement.
Influence of Nanofluid Types on the Enhancements of Solar Collector Performance
Authors: Awad Afrah , Hussein Adnan
Published: September 2024

Nowadays, solar energy is attracting a great deal of research interest. Optimizing solar collectors by incorporating nanoparticles into the base fluid is one area of current research focus. This study investigates how the types of nanoparticles affect the performance of solar collector. We investigated the effects of various nanoparticles types on performance of solar collector. Nanofluid 1 (alumina nanoparticles; Al2O3) and nanofluid 2 (silicon dioxide nanoparticles; SiO2) were combined with water. Nanofluids are made with a constant nanoparticle concentration of 0.5 vol. %. Data collection was conducted under Iraqi environments during the three-month study period (January, February, and March) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. In particular, the data for every two-hour period is displayed. The results demonstrated the collector’s efficiency significantly influenced by nanoparticles’ type. At 1 p.m. in February, nanofluid 1 was 4.8% in front of nanofluid 2. The significance of nanoparticle materials in enhancing solar collector efficiency is highlighted by this outcome. When water-based fluid in the solar collector was compared to nanofluids 2 and 1, the latter demonstrated a typically better efficiency. Nanoparticle owns higher thermal conductivity which is one of the reasons behind the increments of the nanofluid's overall conductivity.
