We excluded articles, letters to the editor, and editorials from the review and ultimately qualitatively examined 34 studies. The quality of these articles was assessed using the CASP checklist. Results: We identified key variables and classified them into five categories: Monitoring and control (16 variables), information technology and intelligence (4 variables), human capital (10 variables), physical and financial resources (16 variables), and suppliers (4 variables). Conclusions: It is imperative for health policymakers to develop effective strategies in monitoring and control, information technology and intelligence, human capital, physical and financial resources, and management of drug suppliers. These strategies are essential for the efficient supply and distribution of drugs within the supply chain.
Hypercalcemia Etiologies in Pediatric Patients: An Informative Narrative Review
Authors: Dalili Setila , Basiri Mohsen , Koohmanaee Shahin , Hassanzadeh Rad Afagh , Maleknejad Shohreh
Published: April 2024

Background: Hypercalcemia, although less prevalent, is a critical diagnosis in pediatric patients, consisting of numerous etiologies that differ significantly from those in adults. In children, congenital causes are more prevalent. The differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia encompasses a broad spectrum of etiologies; however, up to 90% of all cases are diagnosed with either primary hyperparathyroidism or malignancy. Primary hyperparathyroidism predominates in ambulatory patients, while malignancy is more common among critically ill hospitalized patients. Objectives: This review addresses several important issues related to calcium metabolism and hypercalcemia: (a) overview of Calcium Metabolism; (b) factors affecting serum total and ionized calcium concentration; (c) clinical manifestations and importance of Hypercalcemia in pediatric patients; (d) overview of the causes of Hypercalcemia in pediatric patients; (e) overview of Hypercalcemia management. Methods: A literature search was conducted for articles published from 2000 to 2024 using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Embase databases. The keywords used were: CALCIUM, Calcium metabolism disorders, hypercalcemia, Parathyroid hormone, Vitamin D, and acid-base imbalance. Results: This study provides a review of calcium metabolism and factors affecting total and ionized calcium concentrations, along with a definition of hypercalcemia, classification of its severity, its clinical manifestations, and a comprehensive overview of hypercalcemia etiologies categorized into parathyroid hormone (PTH)-related and unrelated causes. An overview of its management is also included. Conclusions: Hypercalcemia is an important disorder in both pediatric and adult patients. Before initiating a workup for hypercalcemia, it is crucial to understand the physiology of calcium and the factors affecting its serum concentrations. The etiologies of hypercalcemia in pediatric patients have a wide spectrum of differential diagnoses; primary hyperparathyroidism and malignancies account for 80-90% of all hypercalcemia cases found in clinical practice. Genetic and syndromic causes are usually more prevalent in pediatrics due to the nature of these conditions. Managing hypercalcemia requires two simultaneous approaches: First, measures aimed at lowering serum calcium concentrations and second, a workup for the underlying cause.
SCIENTIFIC BASIS OF THE DIDACTICS SUBJECT AS THE SCIENCE OF TEACHING AND EDUCATION

Published: April 2024

The proposed article is devoted to the problem of a scientific approach to the definition of the subject of didactics as an independent science of learning and education. The authors conducted a critical analysis from the standpoint of the natural science approach to learning, determined the methodological basis of didactics as a science that is dual in nature, i.e. epistemology and sociology. In this article, based on a materialistic understanding of the essence of learning, the substantiation of the materiality of learning as a process that can be investigated using scientific methods is given. If we assume that learning is an immaterial process, then we cannot investigate it using scientific methods. Therefore, we proceed from the fact that learning is a material process that obeys the laws of nature. We also proceed from the fact that there is no special spiritual entity that would be behind the learning. All the so-called spiritual or cognitive processes are material phenomena that obey the laws of nature. It is this approach that makes it possible to bring didactics into the category of an independent science.

Amla fruit (Emblica officinalis) commonly known as Indian gooseberry or Amla, is perhaps the most important medicinal plant in the Indian traditional system of medicine, the Ayurveda.Vitamin C, tannins and flavonoids present in amla have powerful antioxidant activities. Due to rich Vitamin C content, amla is successfully used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. It is one of the oldest Indian fruits and considered as "wonder fruit for health". Amla pulp of fresh fruit contains 200-900 mg/100 g of vitamin C. Ascorbic acid retention was found to be decreased with increase in temperature. The fruit is highly perishable in nature and is available for short period from October to January. The amla fruit possess excellent nutritive and therapeutic value and to promote the use of amla among the public. Hence an attempt was made to standardized sweet-based products viz. jam, squash and jelly with different treatments. The prepared amla products were standardized based on sensory evaluation. The bio active components and sensory evaluation of amla products were analysed during the storage period. The shelflife studies of amla jam, squash and jelly were also done at room temperature and it has more shelflife with high organoleptic scores.
“The Most Dangerous Negro in America”: Rhetoric, Race and the Prophetic Pessimism of Martin Luther King Jr.
Authors: Johnson Andre E. , Stone Jr. Anthony J. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

In this essay, we examine King’s rhetoric during the last year of his life, (April 4, 1967April 3, 1968)—focusing specifically on the issues of race. In examining several texts of King, we argue that King adopts a prophetic persona of a pessimistic prophet—especially when addressing issues of race and racism. In exploring King’s rhetoric and noting King’s directness and firmness when addressing the race issue, we argue that King’s rhetoric found a home in the African American prophetic tradition in his attempt to dismantle hegemonic politics and institutional racism. Specifically, we argue that Martin Luther King was radically dismantling white hegemony; and becoming one of the most hated men in America.
“A Crater in the Mind”: Seismic Shifts in Mormon Ideologies of Mental Illness
Authors: Stone Heather J. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

This study claims the Mormon ideograph of  limited church members’ capacity to conceptualize mental illness as a disease process and encouraged members to perceive prolonged mental illness as a failure of personal agency. I examine how two church insiders used culturetypal rhetoric to create a new emancipatory discourse that sanctioned medical intervention without requiring Mormons to surrender ideological commitments. Scholars have shown that altering ideographic control over a society is usually accomplished by those outside the power structure using counter-cultural rhetoric. Mormonism’s mental illness discourse demonstrates that insiders can introduce ideological reform without deconstructing a religious organization’s fundamental principles.
From “Sloppy Wet Kiss” to Illusion of Glory: The Rhetorical Tensions and Transformations of “How He Loves”
Authors: Hatch John B. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

This essay unpacks the evolving form and rhetorical resonance of the popular contemporary Christian worship song “How He Loves,” which troubles norms of mainstream sacred music on several levels. I argue that its violations of lyrical norms give the song rhetorical resonance for young people seeking an “authentic”/romantic experience of God in worship, while its musical form works, with varying success, to rhetorically transform the troubles of earthly existence into windows on divine love. Through Sellnow and Sellnow’s critical lens, I examine three different artists’ lyrical/musical renderings of the song to compare how (well) they bring that illusion to life. I then analyze the video of the third version, showing how the Illusion of Life critical framework could be expanded to examine visual intensity/release in relation to music and lyrics. My analysis highlights the tensions between authenticity and artfulness in contemporary worship music and demonstrates the value of a fine-grained, close-reading approach.
Disrupting Dominant Discourses of the Idealized Nuclear Family: A Study of Plural Families in Centennial Park, Arizona
Authors: Van Gilder Bobbi J. , Ault Michael K. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

Using a dialogic lens, this study investigated the discursive construction of family articulated by Centennial Park residents who practice plural marriage. In talk, Centennial Park residents marginalize the dominant cultural discourse positioning the nuclear family as the ideal family form by advancing a competing discourse. Specifically, Centennial Park residents advance a discourse, nuclear families are limiting (and thus not ideal), which privileges plural families over traditional cultural models of family. This competing discourse idealizes the capacity building potential of plural families, while positioning the nuclear family as one that is restrictive (i.e., inhibiting the potential of what could be).
Meaning, Metalepsis, Time-Travel
Authors: Mackin Glenn ,   Saint Louis University
Published: April 2024

This article explores how people can come to experience constitutional conversations as meaningful. To this end, I reinterpret Habermas’s account of deliberative constitutionalism. For Habermas, constitutional discourses are not only rational procedures of opinion- and will-formation, but also sites at which a “world” gets generated. Deliberative politics, therefore, involves unruly and uncontrollable efforts to solicit others into the roles, orientations, and principles of constitutional practices. The result is a novel account of the relationship between constitutional procedures and the “anarchistic” politics that radical democrats celebrate. Ungovernable inventions of and affective identifications with roles, images, and peoples occur within articulate forms, including constitutional procedures. These aspects of Habermas’s thought push past binary oppositions between legitimate constitutional procedure and radical democratic uprisings. Habermas provides a framework for examining the forms of attentiveness by which actors can come to experience constitutional rules, roles, principles, and procedures as part of their world.

Published: April 2024

Delves into the advanced field of image processing based on the use of neural networks to automatically and efficiently improve the quality and detail of images. The thesis explains that convolutional neural networks are one of the types of deep neural networks, and they are specially designed to gain knowledge from big data and extract complex features and patterns found in images. The different layers of the network are discussed in detail, as they handle images incrementally and extract various attributes in each layer. The thesis also highlights the ability of CNN to detect, learn, and improve important details found in images through convolutional, filtering, and data aggregation processes. The proposed CNN model for image enhancement was developed and tested on both medical and normal images. The images were enhanced using the proposed model and compared with other models. Different quality metrics were used to evaluate the results. The results showed that the proposed model can significantly improve the quality of images. The thesis also explores the potential applications of CNN in various fields such as medicine, photography, and space imaging. The use of CNN in these fields can lead to improved diagnosis and treatment in medicine, better image quality in photography, and more accurate and detailed images in space imaging.

A Study on Diaphyseal Nutrient Foramen of Humerus
Authors: Ülkir Mehmet , Paslı Bahattin
Published: April 2024

Objective: The aim of this study is to provide detailed data about the nutrient foramen (NF) of the humerus, the entry point of the nutrient artery, used in order to avoid damaging the nutrient artery, which has an important role in the nutrition of the humerus, during surgical approaches to the humeral diaphysis.
Methods: This study was performed on 113 (58 right, 55 left) humeri. The number, direction, location, position, size and foraminal index of the nutrient foramina (NFs) were evaluated. In addition, total length of the humerus and distance between NF and proximal end of the humerus were measured.
Results: One NF was observed on 86 of 113 (76.11%) humeri, two NFs on 17 of 113 (15.05%) humeri, 3 NFs on the one right sided humerus and no NF was observed on 9 of 113 (7.96%) humeri. While 122 (99.19%) of all NFs were directed distally, one (0.81%) NF was directed horizontally. Eighty-six (69.92%) NFs were located on the anteromedial surface, while 18 (14.63%) NFs were found to be located on the medial border, 12 (9.76%) NFs on the posterior surface, 4 (3.25%) NFs on the anterolateral surface and 3 (2.44%) NFs on the lateral border. 20G sized NF was detected on 50 of 123 (40.65%) NFs. 14G and 16G sized NFs were not detected. 5 (4.07%) NFs were located on the proximal 1/3, 113 (91.86%) NFs were located on middle 1/3 and 5 (4.07%) NFs were located on distal 1/3 of the humerus. The mean values of total length of the humerus, distance between NF and proximal end of the humerus and foraminal index were found out to be 301.68±20.61 mm, 166.70±32.50 mm and 55.33±9.48%, respectively.
Conclusion: It is found out that there is usually one NF on the humerus and that this foramen is directed distally, localized on the anteromedial surface and the middle 1/3 of the humerus and sized at 20G. And also, we observed horizontally directed NF on the humerus. To our knowledge, there is no study which observed horizontally directed NF. There may be differences between populations about the morphology and morphometry of NF. Therefore, being aware for the morphology, morphometry and variations of the NF is important for the orthopaedic surgeons in surgeries such as fracture repairing and vascularized bone graft in order to avoid damaging the nutrient arteries.

Represores prófugos, niños desaparecidos por segunda vez
Authors: Laino Sanchis Fabricio
Published: April 2024

Tras el final de la última dictadura en Argentina, la organización Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo pudo localizar y denunciar a varios represores que tenían en su poder a niños apropiados durante la represión ilegal. Algunos de estos lograron fugarse con los niños apropiados a Paraguay, donde gozaron de protección del régimen militar vigente de Alfredo Stroessner. A partir de ese momento, se abrió un intenso conflicto por su extradición, que tuvo implicancias políticas, diplomáticas y judiciales a nivel nacional, regional e internacional. En este artículo nos centramos en el activismo por la extradición de estos represores y la restitución de esos niños y niñas apropiados/as. Nos interesa, en primera instancia, mostrar el repertorio de acción y las múltiples escalas (nacional, regional y trasnacional) en las que se desenvolvió esta causa, que tuvo a Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo como principal promotora, pero que reunió también a familiares uruguayos y contó con apoyos múltiples en otros países de la región y de Europa. Analizaremos de qué manera este activismo transnacional logró movilizar a su favor a los organismos internacionales de derechos humanos, lo que a su vez condujo a presiones sobre los gobiernos y conflictos interestatales. En última instancia, a través del análisis de este caso buscaremos vislumbrar algunos aspectos de la trama regional del complejo proceso de democratización regional en una década en la que coexistieron en el Cono Sur regímenes y transiciones de carácter muy diverso.

The economic and social dimensions of city resilience according to international standards
Authors: Al-Wazani Khaled , Al Suwaidi Sheikha
Published: April 2024

The City Resilience Index (CRI) is a key framework for assessing the resilience of cities to disasters and crises, thus contributing to the so-called "sustainability" and empowering of cities. It is an indicator that comprises four dimensions, including twelve goals, and fifty-two sub-indicators. The resilience of cities is built on ten qualitative indicators. These indicators fall within the four dimensions of the CRI – Health and Quality of Life, Economy and Society, Infrastructure and Ecosystems, and Leadership and Strategy. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the role of economic and social dimensions in enhancing the resilience of cities, within the concept of the Global Index of City Resilience, (CRI). The study showed a close correlation between the achievement of city resilience indicators and the socio-economic dimensions of cities, which was clearly reflected in the ability of cities to be economically and socially sustainable. This study showed the importance of indicators for preserving community identity and the importance of establishing interactive foundations between "strengthening institutional capacities for city resilience" and "community identity" for them, in order to enhance more sustainability and resilience of cities against internal or external migrations.
Ocena postaw pielęgniarek wobec alkoholu i alkoholizmu
Authors: Cierzniakowska Katarzyna , Popow Aleksandra , Maćkiewicz Julia , Strzyżewska Beata , Tekień-Jankowska Zofia
Published: April 2024

Wprowadzenie: Znaczenie spożywania alkoholu jako czynnika ryzyka chorób i urazów oraz związanej z nimi śmiertelności zostało wielokrotnie potwierdzone licznymi badaniami naukowymi. Leczenie ostrych i przewlekłych ran u chorych będących pod wpływem alkoholu stanowi poważne wyzwanie dla praktyki klinicznej.
Cel pracy: Zbadanie postaw pielęgniarek i pielęgniarzy wobec alkoholu i alkoholizmu.
Materiał i metody: W badaniach wzięło udział 227 pielęgniarek i pielęgniarzy. Badania zostały przeprowadzone drogą elektroniczną poprzez udostępnienie linku do wypełnienia ankiety. Na potrzeby badania wykorzystano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego. Ankieta składała się z części zawierającej dane socjodemograficzne oraz stwierdzeń związanych z postawami wobec alkoholu i alkoholizmu.
Wyniki: Pielęgniarki zazwyczaj postrzegają alkoholika, jako chorego z wieloma problemami fizycznymi i psychicznymi, wymagającego leczenia i odpowiedniego wsparcia. Większość pielęgniarek (65,6%) stwierdziła, że nie ma wystarczającej wiedzy do pracy z chorymi nadużywającymi alkoholu, co prawdopodobnie sprawia, że podejmowane działania nie przynoszą oczekiwanej satysfakcji. Badania wykazały, że negatywne postawy pielęgniarek wobec alkoholików nasilają się wraz z wiekiem i stażem pracy (p < 0,05). Z agresją słowną ze strony pacjenta pod wpływem alkoholu zetknęło się ponad 40% badanych. Czynnik ten obniża poziom udzielanej pomocy pacjentom z problemem alkoholowym (p < 0,01). Mniej negatywna postawa wobec chorych z problemem alkoholowym zależy od własnych doświadczeń ze spożywaniem alkoholu.
Wnioski: Postawy pielęgniarek względem pacjentów nadużywających alkoholu są zróżnicowane względem wieku, stażu pracy i osobistych doświadczeń spożywania alkoholu. Mimo dominującej postawy pozytywnej wobec alkoholu i alkoholizmu, pielęgniarki jednocześnie utrzymują, że nie dysponują wystarczającymi umiejętnościami pomagania tym chorym, a świadczone działania opiekuńcze nie przynoszą wyraźnej satysfakcji.

THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY OF APPROACHES TO ENSURING FIRE SAFETY OF PRODUCTION FACILITIES OF THE GAS INDUSTRY IN TERMS OF FIRE PROTECTION DISTANCES
Authors: Khoroshev Andrey
Published: April 2024

The article presents the results of a study of two approaches to ensuring fire safety of production facilities of the gas industry. As a result of the use of PromRisk software version 2.30.1, it is proved by a particular example that not always the fulfillment of all fire safety requirements established by regulatory documents on fire safety is due to ensuring the required amount of fire risk. An algorithm has been developed for determining the fire-fighting distance from a gas industry production facility to residential facilities based on the calculation of fire risk.
SUBSTANTIATION A NEW CAUSAL INTERPRETATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSFORMATION OF EMERGENCY SITUATIONS ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE ACCIDENT AT THE FUKUSHIMA-1 NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
Authors: Ivakhnyuk Sergey , Koroleva Lyudmila , Lugavtsov Oleg
Published: April 2024

Using the example of the radiation accident at the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant and subsequent measures to discharge tritium-containing aqueous coolant into the ocean,
the adequacy of a new causal interpretation – the «triangle of emergencies», justifying and explaining scenarios of mutual transition of one type of emergency into another, as well
as its graphical interpretation is considered. The issues of existing and possible consequences related both directly to the accident and to the discharge of the coolant are investigated. The results of calculating the change in the radioactivity of tritium in the volume of water planned for discharge for a period equal to ten of its half-life are presented.
The prospects of applying the concept of an «emergency triangle» are considered, which are seen in the construction of an «emergency space», which is an array of emergency data collected for the purpose of analyzing, interpreting information, establishing cause-effect relationships and forecasting, as well as the principles of its formation.
ON THE NEED TO REFINE THE CALCULATION METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING THE FIRE RESISTANCE LIMITS OF METAL STRUCTURES, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE DURATION OF THEIR OPERATION
Authors: Shakhabov Mayrbek , Sivenkov Andrey
Published: April 2024

The paper discusses the issue of estimating the fire resistance limits of metal structures taking into account the duration of their operation. The results of the study
of the influence of the duration of operation on the mechanical characteristics of steel structures, such as the ultimate strength, the yield strength and the relative elongation are presented. The study
was conducted on a steel structure with a service life of more than 80 years. The results of static tensile mechanical tests showed that the ultimate tensile strength for the steel specimens in question is at a minimum level (a decrease in ultimate strength of 10–15 % or more). The conceptual opinion about the necessity of taking into account the change of strength and yield strength when assessing the fire resistance limits of steel structures of different service life has been expressed.

Authors: Princeva Maria , Pariyskaya Anna , Mokryak Anna
Published: April 2024

The article discusses the possibility of using a set of instrumental methods, such as morphological analysis, elemental analysis, X-ray phase analysis, infrared spectroscopy, ion chromatography or capillary electrophoresis to study the chemical composition of fire extinguishing powders during fire-technical examinations. Examples of the use of these methods in the investigation of real fires are given. It is described in detail how studies of fire extinguishing agents are carried out to answer questions related to establishing their composition, as well as identifying the compliance of the fire extinguishing powder submitted for study with technical documentation. It is shown that in order to obtain complete information about the chemical composition of the fire extinguishing agent, it is necessary to use a set of methods, since each of the considered methods provides additional information during the study.
THE IMPACT OF THE STRUCTURE OF LINEAR HYDROCARBONS ON THE AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE
Authors: Svidzinskaya Galina , Ivanova Mariya
Published: April 2024

Using experimental data available in the literature the auto-ignition temperature of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons with different molecular structures is analyzed. Based on modern research of hydrocarbons oxidation with different structures at high temperatures, the connection between chemical structure, bond strength in the molecule and radical mechanisms of oxidation processes with the auto-ignition temperature is shown. It is noted that the branching of molecules contributes to the temperature of self-ignition increase, that is, an increase in their composition of methyl groups, tertiary and quaternary carbon atoms located nearby in the carbon chain. Double and triple bonds, starting from C5, strengthen the molecule. The elongation of both the main chain and the chain of substituents reduces the auto-ignition temperature of the compound.
Challenges of Tourism Business Partnerships in Wildlife Management Areas around Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania
Authors: John Ruth W. , John Ruth W.
Published: April 2024

This article analyses how tourism development in Tanzanians' Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) is structured based on the political-ecological factors governing  African countries. The article seeks to ascertain the variables that have triggered conflicts among  stakeholders in tourism business partnerships.  A total of 133 household heads and 74 key informants were examined, utilising a semi-structured questionnaire and an interview guide, respectively, to gather data. The findings indicate that tourism business partnerships provide challenges to local community. Their participation in business is undermined in the WMAs due to the deprivation of the benefits from wildlife resources. It is therefore important to integrate specific community-based business strategies in the policies, which can facilitate the development of tourism and provide mutual help in Wildlife Management Areas in Tanzania.

Published: April 2024

This study evaluates how the Tanzania National E-Procurement System (TANePS) affects worker productivity in a country’s public institutions. The Government Procurement Services Agency (GPSA) and the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) were the two organizations where the study specifically investigated the adoption of TANePS and its impact on employee performance. With 200 employees from the chosen institutions participating in the sttudy’s self-administered questionnaire survey, 66 percent of the respondents responded. According to the study, 84% of the respondents frequently used TANePS for e-tendering and e-payment, but only a small percentage utilized it for user registration and e-contract administration. While internal resistance negatively impacted management policies and system adoption, good software design and IT readiness promoted TANePS deployment. The introduction of TANePS was successful due to supportive policies and IT, increased performance, and enhanced procurement efficiency.
