Authors: H Alsrur, Hamad Hamoud , Zain Zarihah binti Mohd
Published: January 2025

Left ventricular remodeling is typically observed in coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertensive heart disease (HHD). Consequently, it is of paramount significance to evaluate the left ventricular remodeling of CAD and HHD, as it may significantly impact the therapeutic choices, prognosis, and diagnosis.This meta-analysis assessed left ventricular remodeling in hypertensive cases using echocardiography.The systematic review and meta-analysis have been carried out in line with the PRISMA guidelines. The research involved published non-randomized investigations and randomized controlled trials (RCT) that assessed left ventricular remodeling in hypertensive patients using echocardiography. A thorough search has been carried out in electronic databases, including Scopus, PubMed, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and Web of Science, utilizing MeSH and text keywords such as “Hypertension,” “Hypertensive Patients,” “cardiac remodeling,” “Left Ventricular Remodeling,” “speckle tracking echocardiography,” and “3D echocardiography.”A total of 7 studies have been selected for the present analysis, including a total of 2174 cases. The combined outcome demonstrates highly statistically significant variance among groups according to SBP (Z = 3.29, P ˂0.001). The combined outcome demonstrates statistically significant variance among groups according to DBP (Z-value = 2.87, P-value =0.004). Result demonstrates statistically insignificant variance among groups according to HR (Z-value = 1.66, P-value =0.10). The combined outcome demonstrates statistically insignificant variance among groups according to aortic Dimensions (Z-value = 1.04, P-value =0.30). The combined outcome demonstrates highly statistically significant variance among groups according to Left atrial diameter (Z = 9.37, P˂0.001). The combined outcome demonstrates statistically significant variance among groups according to interventricular septum dimension (Z = 4.34, P <0.001). The combined outcome demonstrates statistically insignificant variance among groups according to posterior wall dimension (Z = 1.61, P =0.11). The combined outcome demonstrates highly statistically significant variance among groups according to left ventricle mass (Z-value = 3.93, P-value <0.001).This research concluded that in hypertensive cases with essentially preserved left ventricle systolic function, significant impairment of left ventricle diastolic and systolic functions was observed, particularly when correlated with LVH, as demonstrated by 2D and 3D speckle tracking echocardiography.
The Legal Regime of Cohabiting in Inheritance Law in the Republic of Albania
Authors:   Faculty of Law, South East European University, North Macedonia, Pjetri Ana
Published: January 2025

Cohabitation, being a social phenomenon, is evolving significantly in recent years, where in social aspects it is claimed that nothing can prevent a man and a woman, beyond marriage, to give life to astable relationship, thus realising a cohabitation that is known differently as more uxorious. The existential choice to give life to cohabitation and to the basic human rights is characterised by the seriousness of goals and sustainability. Social factors point out thatthere are many reasons that lead to cohabitation, among which canbe mentioned the avoidance of legal restrictions arising from marriage, the will to benefit from material goods or the avoidance of necessary requirements as happens in the crowning of marriage.However, even though it has evolved as a case, cohabitation still faces prejudices, especially in the religious aspect. In essence, menage de fait is an expression of the individual’s freedom tochoose, and this is the reason why some foreign experiences tend towards the complete legal integration of de facto cohabitation withthat of marriage, especially in terms of property and inheritance, excluding adoption orfertilisation artificial. Based on the historical and comparative analysis between the current legal framework in relation to that of other countries, this study focuses more on the interpretation of the legal vacuum of cohabitation, including the right of inheritance, the division of property and other consequences in case division.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 imposed sudden and severe hardship on several businesses. It not only resulted in fatalities, but it also caused significant numbers of job losses. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak employees in the workplace had to adapt to the new normal and certain constitutional rights were limited. Many employees were retrenched, and as a result, these COVID-19 retrenchments were not procedurally or substantively fair. The post COVID-19 period has highlighted that much work needs to be done to reform our existing labour laws. During
pandemics, current labour regulations do not help. As a result, the question arises as to how far the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 protects employees in the workplace in times of public health emergencies. This article will look at how labour laws responded to COVID-19 retrenchments. It will also go over the forms of dismissal and important judicial decisions handed down during the COVID-19 period that support the idea that retrenchments made during the COVID19 period were unfair. Thus, the authors will examine how to maintain the promotion of justice in the workplace and provide a discussion of law reform ideas that can be used to address the employment law-related flaws of the COVID-19 period will be presented in order to avoid the same challenges during pandemic periods that the country may face in future.
Good Administration in the View of the Institutions of the European Union. Theoretical and Practical Aspects
Authors:   Faculty of Administration and Business, University of Bucharest, Romania, Mireuță Samuel
Published: January 2025

The right to good administration is provided by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. This right presupposes that any person is recognised as having the right to benefit, as regards his problems, from impartial, fair treatment and within a reasonable time from the institutions, bodies, offices and agencies of the Union. The guardian of this right is the European Ombudsman. This concept of good administration is associated with the rule of law, legality, transparency, efficiency, effectiveness, democracy and implies that the institutions of the European Union must comply with certain standards. The author proposes as objectives: (i) Analysis of the right to good administration in the existing documents at the level of the European Union: the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the Maastricht Treaty on the European Union, the Lisbon Treaty on the functioning of the European Union, the European Code of Good Administrative Behaviour; (ii) refer to the specialised literature in the analysis carried out; (iii) to refer to case law. The author uses
content analysis as a qualitative research method. The study shows different paradigms regarding the concept of good administration.

Authors:   Faculty of Law and Social Sciences, EPOKA University, Tirana, Albania, Miço (Bellani) Heliona
Published: January 2025

This paper adopts an analytical approach to the regulation of the right to privacy within the normative foundations of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), offering a comparative perspective with the Albanian legal framework. The paper elucidates the reasons that led to the enforcement of the GDPR and delves into the challenges arising in the field of data protection due to technological advancements. The comprehension of the GDPR approach will serve as a benchmark for comparing the progress of the implementation of data protection in Albania. This discussion will underscore the ongoing process of legislation harmonization with the EU 'Acquis communautaire', aiming to pinpoint potential disparities between the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Albanian Law on Data Protection. The paper will scrutinize various data protection breaches occurring from 2021 to 2022 in Albania, events that cast doubt on the legal framework concerning the right to privacy and its practical implementation. These instances of data breaches illuminate the challenges within the legal framework and its execution, underscoring the vulnerability of the state in the face of technological advancements. This emphasizes the imperative for proactive measures to enhance the protection of personal data and the right to privacy.

Authors: Gallegos Montero Ruth , Toapanta Murillo Edison Alexis , Guzmán Neira Carlos Luis , Ruano Burbano Marisol Dayana
Published: January 2025

La finalidad del estudio fue explorar la vinculación entre las habilidades sociales o blandas y las dimensiones del Factor de Cohesión Organizacional Dinámica (FCOD) en una institución de formación militar, enmarcada en un contexto de militarismo y una cultura del trabajo basada en estructuras jerárquicas. Mediante una encuesta, con un cuestionario estandarizado adaptado, a partir de una muestra censal de 87 personas, desde una perspectiva post-positivista, cuantitativa, no experimental, transversal y correlacional. Los resultados, obtenidos a partir del análisis de correlación de Spearman y de regresión lineal, mostraron fuerte relación (ρ =0.99) entre las competencias sociales y el FCOD con sus dimensiones, estableciendo una incidencia positiva en la comunicación organizacional, las relaciones interpersonales, la responsabilidad institucional, el espacio de interacción organizativa y la gestión emocional. Por otro lado, el estudio evidencia que las variables sociodemográficas no tienen incidencia, dado que las competencias sociales pueden relacionarse con dinámicas más profundas en las estructuras. Se propone la necesidad de facilitar el desarrollo de las personas en el marco de programas de formación dirigidos a servir de base para competencias sociales, adaptabilidad y gestión emocional. De igual forma, las recomendaciones van dirigidas hacia un espacio de trabajo colaborativo, con espacios físicos y simbólicos que generen una práctica horizontal y diálogo permanente; el estudio también ofrece una visión crítica y fundamentada de la relevancia de las habilidades sociales en la cultura militar, todas ellas destinadas a ofrecer orientaciones prácticas para la cohesión organizacional frente a los desafíos que conllevan culturas de trabajo complejas y jerárquicas.

Authors: A. SRI LAKSHMI  , JYOTHI N M
Published: January 2025

Plant diseases significantly impact agricultural productivity, causing economic losses and food insecurity. Predicting the severity of plant diseases is crucial for timely interventions and sustainable farming practices. However, existing methods often lack precision and scalability. This study aims to develop a highly accurate model to predict plant disease severity using advanced gradient boosting techniques. We used the publicly available New Plant Diseases Dataset from Kaggle, containing images of healthy and diseased plants. Data preprocessing included image augmentation and feature extraction using transfer learning. Gradient boosting algorithms such as XGBoost and LightGBM were employed to build predictive models. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 96.45% on the test set, outperforming existing approaches. The results demonstrate the model's robustness in predicting disease severity across multiple plant species. This study highlights the potential of gradient boosting techniques for precise plant disease severity prediction, offering a scalable solution for agricultural applications.

Authors: A. SRI LAKSHMI  , JYOTHI N M
Published: January 2025

Blood cell classification plays a vital role in medical diagnostics, aiding in disease detection and treatment monitoring. Traditional methods of blood cell analysis are often manual, time-intensive, and prone to human error. Deep learning, specifically sequential models, offers a promising solution to automate and enhance accuracy in blood cell classification tasks. This study aims to develop and evaluate a deep sequential model for classifying blood cell images into four types: Eosinophil, Lymphocyte, Monocyte, and Neutrophil. The deep sequential model was trained on a publicly available blood cell dataset. The dataset underwent preprocessing, including resizing, normalization, and augmentation. The model architecture included convolutional layers for feature extraction, max-pooling for dimensionality reduction, and fully connected layers for classification. Model performance was evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The model achieved an overall accuracy of 99.7%, with high precision, recall, and F1-scores across all classes. The confusion matrix indicated robust classification, with minimal misclassifications. This study demonstrates the potential of deep sequential models in automating blood cell classification with high accuracy and reliability, offering a scalable solution for hematological diagnostics.

The Need for Local Language Training in Healthcare in Pakistan
Authors: Minhas Asim
Published: January 2025

This editorial addresses the critical need for local language training in the healthcare sector of Pakistan, emphasizing the impact of linguistic barriers on patient care. In a linguistically diverse country where Urdu serves as the national language but regional languages such as Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, and Balochi are predominant, healthcare professionals often lack the training necessary to communicate effectively with patients. This disconnect leads to misdiagnoses, patient dissatisfaction, and ethical challenges, particularly in vulnerable populations. The article explores the implications of language discordance on healthcare outcomes and informed consent, while highlighting current deficiencies in medical education that prioritize English over regional languages. Proposed solutions include the integration of language training into medical curricula, ongoing professional development, the employment of medical interpreters, and the use of digital translation tools. By addressing these linguistic gaps, the healthcare system can improve communication, enhance patient care, and foster greater trust between healthcare providers and patients.

A pandemia de COVID-19 teve um impacto significativo nos hábitos de sono e nas rotinas diárias, especialmente entre os estudantes de graduação. Assim, as medidas de controle e prevenção da doença, levaram a uma redução nas atividades acadêmicas e a um aumento na quantidade de sono. Nessa direção, o presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar a prevalência de cronotipos e avaliar o sono de acadêmicos de cursos de graduação em fisioterapia durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Trata-se de um estudo de campo, do tipo transversal e observacional, realizado com acadêmicos de cursos de graduação em Fisioterapia. A amostra do estudo foi composta por 126 acadêmicos de Cursos de Fisioterapia, das mais diversas Instituições de Ensino Superior do Brasil. A coleta de dados teve início no mês de setembro de 2021 e foi concluída no mês de dezembro do mesmo ano. Ressalta-se que esse procedimento foi realizado no formato remoto, por meio da aplicação de questionários virtuais, utilizando a técnica de "Snowball". Foram utilizados dois questionários. O primeiro foi uma ficha de avaliação elaborada pelos pesquisadores, que visava obter informações sobre o perfil dos participantes, o padrão do ciclo sono-vigília e fatores associados à qualidade do sono durante a pandemia. O segundo questionário foi o "Questionário de Vespertinidade e Matutinidade" de Horne e Östberg. De forma geral, se observou que a pandemia modificou de forma significativa a rotina diária dos acadêmicos em questão, principalmente no sentido de ter alterado a duração e qualidade do sono, assim, embora a quantidade de horas dormidas tenha aumentado, a qualidade do sono não apresentou mudanças significativas. Em relação ao cronotipo, os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos acadêmicos se enquadra na categoria intermediária, seguida da categoria vespertino moderado.
Financial performance and capital structure of select hydropower companies in India: An Empirical Analysis
Authors: Asif Maqbool Dendru  , Bashir Ahmad Joo
Published: January 2025

This research paper attempts to analyse the relationship between the capital structure and financial performance of two hydropower generation public sector undertakings in India. Secondary data sourced from the financial statements of the corresponding generating companies for the period from 2010-11 to 2016 is analysed using multi-correlation analysis. Results indicate that the capital structure negatively impacts profitability, consistent with the extant research on the subject matter as well as the underlying financial principle - more debt, more interest expenses, and hence lesser profitability. Moreover, in consonance with the MM hypothesis, the present research has revealed that the interaction of tax and capital structure results in the negative impact of tax on the capital structure.
Gilded Connections: Unraveling the Relationship between Gold Prices and the Indian Stock Market
Authors: Mr. Satyanath Mohapatra  , Prof. (Dr.) Pragyan Parimita Sarangi  , Dr. Bhabani Mallia
Published: January 2025

This study, "Gilded Connections: Unraveling the Relationship Between Gold Prices and the Indian Stock Market," delves into the dynamic relationship between the Nifty 50 index and Gold Futures over a 15-year period (April 2008 – June 2023). It explores whether gold functions purely as a safe-haven asset in times of stock market turbulence or if a deeper predictive link exists between these two financial indicators. Through a combination of stationarity tests, descriptive statistics, and time-series analysis techniques such as Vector Autoregression (VAR), this study uncovers key patterns in the interplay between gold price movements and Nifty 50 fluctuations. The results reveal a weak inverse correlation between the two, with Nifty exhibiting higher volatility and Gold offering stability during periods of economic uncertainty. The findings offer valuable insights into portfolio diversification, risk management, and the potential for gold to hedge against equity market risks. Overall, the study contributes to both theoretical understanding and practical applications for investors, traders, and policymakers in navigating market dynamics.
Information Asymmetry and High Transaction Costs: Challenges for MSMEs In Securing Financial Support
Authors: Singh Anu
Published: January 2025

MSMEs are an untapped sector of the Indian economy with the potential to foster growth by
benefiting the affluent industry and the country's middle class. There are multiple schemes run
by Indian governments to cater to this agenda, but they are still unable to actualize the true
potential of the MSME sector. This research paper explores the historical context and
contemporary challenges faced by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises in India, which
struggle to keep pace with other sectors of the economy. Despite their potential to drive
economic growth and enhance middle-class livelihoods through increased productivity and
employment generation, MSMEs’ potential remained underutilized and constrained by various
obstacles. This study uses secondary data from credible sources to investigate key factors
contributing to the persistent credit gap between credit demand and supply to MSMEs. The
findings reveal that information asymmetry poses a significant barrier to accessing financing,
as lenders often lack reliable data on the creditworthiness of potential borrowers. This
uncertainty drives financial institutions to favor existing borrowers, leading to a skewed loan
disbursement process that favors existing borrowers to reduce the enforcement cost of loan
disbursement and collection. It also increases the difficulties for new entrants in getting easy
loans from lenders. The paper highlights the urgent need for strong institutions to address
these imbalances and capture gains from trade by expanding the credit market to small and
new borrowers without any hassle.

Encuentros inesperados en la gestión de colecciones: saltamontes carnívoros, magdalenas, parásitos y momias
Authors: Martín Albaladejo Carolina
Published: January 2025

A museum curator is trained to manage, organize, document, conserve, disseminate and investigate collections with heritage value. This training, directed in many cases specifically to a specific type of collection, leaves in practice a wide territory that can only be conquered thanks to common sense and above all to the interest of the curator in question. It is very common for those responsible for collections to be experts who see their daily work compromised with a multitude of queries from the most varied fields and on the most diverse issues. Not only do they have to solve issues in their area of knowledge, but they also have to face others who, coming from a general public, put their professionalism and character to the test. This story aims to describe this surprising part of the conservators’ work, taking as an example what he experienced by the persons in charge of a public collection of insects between 1990 and 2006, the Entomology Collection of the National Museum of Natural Sciences.

Abstract
Purpose - This study examines the challenges and opportunities in Zakat management in Yala Province, Southern Thailand, from the perspectives of key stakeholders including individuals and families.
Method - A qualitative approach was employed, using focus group interviews with 38 informants across three stakeholder groups: Zakat payers, religious leaders and governmental representatives, and Zakat operators. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify key challenges and propose solutions.
Results - Three major challenges in Zakat management were identified: (1) limited institutional capacity, including inadequate resources, infrastructure, and expertise; (2) insufficient operational knowledge, particularly regarding calculations and eligibility criteria; and (3) a lack of transparency and accountability in Zakat collection and distribution. Proposed solutions include establishing an official Zakat organization, leveraging technology platforms, strengthening collaboration with religious leaders, implementing transparency mechanisms, and creating centralized databases for effective management.
Practical Implication – Religious leaders and governmental representatives have put their concern over Zakat management in Thailand and this research would offer them insights on major challenges in Zakat good governance.
Originality – This paper is expected to enrich the literature of Zakat management in Thailand and strategies on how to maximize Zakat's role as an effective instrument for poverty reduction and the promotion of social justice.

Narrative Features of Planting Design
Authors: Yao Manqing
Published: January 2025

The narrative character of planting design is the fun of landscapes, telling stories and morals in a unique way in planning. When the landscape stimulates our multiple senses, it even has a great impact on our behavior, our views, and our psychological perception of the world. The way of landscaping tells stories or conveys ideas from four planting design angles, including the symbolic meanings of plants, dynamic storytelling, philosophical design and contrast with Eden. It reflects the importance of a successful landscape and public values, and enhance the interaction with public emotion. This paper provides a detailed exposition of methods and specific scenarios for creating narrative landscapes through the use of plants, drawing on examples from classical gardens in various countries, including Europe, England, and China. This study aims to organize and summarize the cultural symbols present in planting design, clarify the expressive techniques of narrative landscapes through plant design, and provide theoretical insights for interpreting and understanding classical gardens, as well as practical support for future landscape design endeavors.
Identification and Optimization of Attractive Territorial Spaces in Gansu Province Based on the Supply-Demand Ratio of Ecosystem Services
Authors: Wang Yaqi
Published: January 2025

Crafting high-quality Attractive Territorial Spaces(ATS) has become an essential approach to enhancing the quality of national territorial spaces at present. Previous studies have offered multidimensional identification methods but have overlooked the intrinsic connections between ATS and factors such as ecology, culture, and society. This study proposes a systematic method for identifying and optimizing ATS, which includes assessing the supply-demand ratio of ecosystem services(ES), interactive detection of driving factors, identification of ATS, landscape pattern analysis, and a matrix of optimization strategies for ATS. The results indicate: (1) There is a significant spatial imbalance between the supply and demand of ES in Gansu Province, with the western region serving as a crucial water source and carbon sink area, while the eastern region stands out in the provision of cultural services. The supply-demand ratio analysis reveals an imbalance in key services such as water resources and soil conservation(SC), particularly in densely populated and rapidly developing economic regions where the demand is urgent. (2) Geographic detector analysis reveals that Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI) and population(POP) are the two main driving factors affecting the spatial differences in ES, with NDVI having a high explanatory power for the spatial heterogeneity of carbon sequestration(CS) services, and POP significantly influencing recreation(RE) and aesthetic landscapes(AL) services. (3) Landscape pattern analysis shows that urban spaces exhibit fragmentation; agricultural spaces, though concentrated, lack landscape diversity and connectivity; ecological spaces, despite having larger core areas, have weak connectivity between patches and a high degree of fragmentation. Based on the above analysis, this study has constructed the Attractiveness Territorial Index (ATI), combined with the main functional areas of Gansu Province's territorial space planning, identified ATS, and proposed targeted optimization strategies for territorial spaces. The framework for identifying ATS established in this study effectively implements the requirements of higher-level planning, clarifies guidance and control requirements, and is conducive to enhancing the value and quality of territorial spaces, as well as providing systematic and holistic protection for elements of attractiveness.
