Published: January 2023

Los consumidores han cambiado sus expectativas, debido a la gran cantidad de productos que encuentran en el mercado, por ello comparan, buscan información y escuchan opiniones. En contraparte, las empresas diseñan estrategias que fomenten una experiencia de compra que conecte con los clientes, de tal manera que aprovechar las historias de compra favorables de sus clientes fieles constituye una oportunidad para que sean compartidas con los consumidores potenciales. El problema planteado fue: ¿De qué manera el storytelling influye en la experiencia de compra de los consumidores peruanos?, considerando que storytelling consiste en contar historias relacionadas a una marca y sus productos o servicios, de manera armoniosa, creativa, descriptiva, que motive a los consumidores a crearse expectativas sobre dichos productos y la experiencia de compra, consiste en el conjunto de emociones, sentimientos y estímulos que sienten los clientes en la transacción de compra. El Objetivo propuesto: Analizar de qué manera el storytelling influye en la experiencia de compra en los consumidores peruanos. La investigación fue realizada entre febrero y setiembre 2022, el trabajo de campo con 320 consumidores y la información obtenida nos llevó a concluir: el storytelling influye directamente en la experiencia de compra en los consumidores peruanos.

Actualmente se vivió una pandemia que sorprendió a todos, no se tenía forma de controlar al personal que lograba ingresar a instituciones, centros comerciales, hospitales, etc. Para lograr controlar el acceso de las personas y así evitar contagios masivos del virus, entre otras situaciones que se percataron en ese entonces. Debido a esa problemática surgida, se dio la idea de implementar un sistema que ayude a tener un control del acceso de las personas y con ayuda de un manejador de base de datos se guarde su información y los resultados que arroje al cuestionario que se desea aplica en esta aplicación, para así dar un resultado aproximado de la probabilidad que pueda tener un contagio o no del virus, y para ser más certero, que el encargado del acceso pueda tener manejo de los resultados y toman en cuenta el resultado que arroje la aplicación para dar acceso dependiendo de lo que marque la encuesta.

El presente trabajo tiene como principal objetivo el desarrollo de una aplicación móvil para prevenir el contagio por el virus "SARS-CoV-2" dentro del Instituto Tecnológico de Iguala. En el cual en la APP se pondrán mediante un cuestionario los síntomas del presente virus y los usuarios puedan responder cuál de los síntomas que han tenido y mediante sus respuestas determinar si es seguro su ingreso a la institución o no, al momento de ingresar el código QR que arroja al final de la encuesta y que guarda sus datos, esto lo hace más fácil de utilizar y más ágil. Además de agregar una adaptación para que sea utilizado en más pandemias posteriores, ya que esta pandemia (Covid19) no es el primer caso en el mundo que se logre dar a conocer, por eso tiene la función de ser implementada y adaptada para otros momentos, con otros posibles casos.

Authors: ÇELİK Serhat , GÜVEN Zeynep Tuğba , AŞIK Onur , KEKLİK Muzaffer , KAYNAR Leylagül , ESER Bülent , ÇETİN Mustafa , ÜNAL Ali
Published: January 2023

Aim: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a proliferative disease caused by abnormal proliferation of histiocytes in the bone marrow dendritic cell structure. LCH is very rare in adults and its incidence is 1-2 cases per million. Therefore, there is still no clear management plan in adults. It was aimed to evaluate the very rare adult LCH patients.

Materials and Methods: Ten LCH patients who were followed up at Erciyes University Hematology Department between January 2010 and January 2020 were included.

Results: Eight (80%) of them were male and 2 (20%) were female. The median age of the patients was 34.5 ± 8.4 (23-52) years. Although the most common involvement at the time of diagnosis was bone in 7 patients (70%) and lung in 3 patients (30%); pituitary, tympanic membrane, liver and brain involvement were also observed. Three (30%) patients had single system involvement and 7 (70%) had multisystem. Four (40%) patients had relapsed and all had multisystemic involvement. The BRAF V600E mutation could be performed in 3 patients. It was negative in two patients and positive in 1 patient. All patients still have remission.

Conclusion: Unlike children, LCH has a better course in adults. The most important approach is to determine single or multisystem involvement. In our patients with single system involvement, we obtained response with corticosteroid and surgery alone. We have observed that vinblastin plus metilprednizolon treatment is a good option for multisystemic involvement. In relapsed patients, we obtained a significant response with clofarabine.

Financial  performance  was  an  indicator  that  showed  the  future  prospects  for  the company's sustainability. By researching financial performance, it will likely be able to  measure  the  effectiveness  of  providing  state  equity  participation  to  Indonesia's State-Owned  Enterprises  (SOEs)  because  every  year,  the government always  allocates  a large budget. However, few SOEs were losing money, and the losses were increasing yearly. Furthermore, it aimed to analyze the effect of solvency, liquidity, and asset growth on the financial  performance  of  Indonesian  SOE  recorded  on  the  BUMN20  Index  for  the  2018– 2020 period. Data was collected by using purposive sampling. Twelve SOEs listed on the BUMN20 Index were used as research samples. The analysis technique was multiple linear regression. State equity participation was calculated by comparing equity with total assets. The solvency ratio used was the debt ratio and the liquidity ratio used was the current ratio. Asset growth was calculated by calculating the annual change in total assets, while ROE and ROA calculated financial performance. The study showed that state equity participation had no significant effect on financial performance, while solvency and asset growth significantly negatively affected financial performance. The liquidity had a significant negative effect on financial performance when measured by ROE, while if measured by ROA, the results were insignificant.  Kinerja  keuangan  merupakan  indikator  yang  menunjukkan  prospek  keberlangsungan perusahaan pada masa yang akan datang. Dengan melakukan penelitian pada kinerja keuang- an diharapkan mampu mengukur keefektifan pemberian PMN pada perusahaan BUMN karena  setiap  tahunnya  pemerintah  selalu  mengalokasikan  anggaran  yang  besar  untuk Penyertaan Modal Negara pada BUMN. Namun, tidak sedikit BUMN yang justru merugi dan  kerugiannya  semakin  besar  setiap  tahunnya.  Selain  itu,  penelitian  ini  juga  bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh solvabilitas, likuiditas dan pertumbuhan aktiva pada kinerja keuangan Badan Usaha Milik Negara yang tercatat pada Indeks BUMN20 periode 2018–2020. Teknik sampling yang dipakai pada penelitian ini adalah purposive sampling. Terdapat 12 (dua belas) BUMN yang tercatat pada Indeks BUMN20 yang dipakai sebagai sampel penelitian. Teknik analisis yang dipakai adalah regresi linear berganda. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa penyertaan  modal  negara  tidak  berpengaruh  secara  signifikan  pada  kinerja  keuangan, sedangkan solvabilitas dan pertumbuhan aktiva berpengaruh negatif signifikan pada kinerja keuangan.  Adapun  likuiditas  berpengaruh  negatif  signifikan  pada  kinerja  keuangan  jika diukur dengan ROE, sedangkan jika diukur dengan ROA hasilnya adalah tidak signifikan.

Published: January 2023

The Early Release Observations (EROs) of JWST beautifully demonstrate the promise of JWST in characterizing the universe at Cosmic Dawn. We analyze the Near Infrared Spectrograph ERO spectra of three z ∼ 8 galaxies to determine their metallicities, gas temperatures, and ionization. These galaxies offer the first opportunity to understand the physical properties of Epoch-of-Reionization galaxies through detailed rest-optical emission-line spectroscopy. We show that these objects have metal abundances

method and on a recent calibration of the R
23 metallicity indicator. Since the spectra are some of the earliest science data from JWST, we compare several line ratios with values expected from robust physics, to validate our measurement procedures. We compare the abundances and emission-line ratios to a nearby sample of Green Pea galaxies—a population of nearby emission-line galaxies whose UV properties resemble Epoch-of-Reionization galaxies, and which often have large Lyman continuum escape fractions. The JWST data show striking further similarities between these high-redshift galaxies and nearby Green Peas. The z ∼ 8 galaxies span the metallicity range covered by Green Peas. They also show the compact morphology that is typical of emission-line-dominated galaxies at all redshifts. Based on these similarities with Green Peas, it is likely that these are the first rest-optical spectra of galaxies that are actively driving cosmological reionization.
Espaces et comportements organisationnels : nouvelles organisations, nouvelles théorisations, nouvelles inquiétudes
Authors: Germain Olivier , Igelsböck Judith , Melo Ribeiro Daniel , Moriceau Jean-Luc
Published: January 2023

A la confluence de nouvelles organisations et de nouvelles théorisations de l’espace, le texte introductif vise d’abord à mettre en lumière les difficultés des approches traditionnelles de l’espace en études organisationnelles à composer avec les dimensions sensibles, habitées, en mouvement et en résistance, des espaces organisationnels. Il appelle ainsi à poursuivre le tournant spatial des études en organisation. Les articles du numéro s’inscrivent dans une telle ambition, en montrant les questions et enjeux des nouvelles configurations, de la territorialisation et leurs conséquences sur le travail. Ils proposent de nouvelles perspectives spatiales sur la proximité, la visibilité, le sens, le contrôle ou la résistance. Enfin seront détaillées de nouvelles directions, ambitions, inquiétudes pour la recherche en comportement des organisations, suggérant des avenues qui envisagent l’espace comme une dimension centrale afin de penser les organisations, à l’aune des mutations du travail mais aussi d’enjeux décoloniaux.
(In)visibilité dans les nouveaux espaces de travail : l’expérience du télétravail durant la crise COVID19 revisitée au prisme des théories de la reconnaissance
Authors: Bia Figueiredo Marie , Besson Madeleine
Published: January 2023

La crise de la COVID19 a entraîné au printemps 2020 un recours massif au télétravail. Mettant à distance leurs collaborateurs, les organisations ont dû repenser le travail dans des espaces exclusivement numériques où de nouvelles (in)visibilités ont brouillé les repères traditionnels et engendré de nouveaux comportements organisationnels. Cet article analyse l’expérience de la visibilité au travail durant la crise sous l’angle de la reconnaissance. Une étude de cas réalisée au sein d’une grande entreprise du secteur de l’assurance révèle que durant la crise, le télétravail a exacerbé et mis à l’épreuve le besoin de reconnaissance existentielle au travail. Elle montre par ailleurs, que la numérisation des espaces de travail peut conduire à la perception d’une invisibilisation des pratiques et de l’engagement du fait du déplacement du regard vers les flux et les résultats du travail. Ce phénomène contribue pour certains – et notamment les managers de proximité, à alimenter le sentiment d’un déni de reconnaissance là où d’autres sont parvenus au sortir de la crise, à tirer une reconnaissance nouvelle. Cette recherche sur l’expérience du télétravail en période de confinement apporte ainsi un nouvel éclairage sur ce qui pourrait se jouer en termes de visibilité sociale et de reconnaissance dans les nouvelles spatialisations du travail. Sur le plan managérial, les résultats sont de nature à alimenter la réflexion actuelle des entreprises sur le futur du travail et ses nouvelles spatialisations, ainsi que sur le rôle du manager, dont l’expérience de la visibilité durant la crise apparaît comme ambivalente.
Transition Into Practice: Outcomes of a Nurse Residency Program
Authors: Miller Cheryl M. , Meyer Kelsey , Riemann Laurie A. , Carter Benjamin T. , Brant Jeannine M.
Published: January 2023

Background

Nurse residency programs (NRPs) have been proposed to meet the educational needs of new graduate nurses and facilitate the transition into practice. Although most studies indicate the benefits of NRPs to assist nurses during transition into practice, only one study compared an NRP with a control group. This study examined whether nurses in an NRP transitioned into practice more successfully than nurses in a traditional orientation program.

Method

This study enrolled 106 newly employed graduate nurses into study arms by unit: a nurse residency intervention group or a control group of standard nursing orientation. Casey-Fink Readiness for Practice, Nurse Retention, and Nurse Job Satisfaction surveys measured group outcomes.

Results

Readiness for practice improved significantly for nurse residents, as did nurse retention perceptions, indicating that nurse residents were more likely to be retained at the organization. The 1- and 2-year nurse retention rates during the 3 years of the study showed marked improvement.

Conclusion

The NRP resulted in improved readiness for practice, improved nurse retention, and higher job satisfaction compared with standard orientation.

Black Experiences in Academic Psychiatry
Authors: Isaac Kathleen S. , Baptiste Jessica Jean , Outram Tacina , Drake Christin
Published: January 2023

The objective of this article is to examine the experiences and challenges faced by Black professionals in the academic psychiatry workforce. The authors used data collected from previous literature to explore experiences faced at each level of the academic psychiatry pipeline. Review of the literature revealed that systemic barriers contribute to burnout, high turnover, and underrepresentation of Black professionals in academic psychiatry. Retention of Black mental health professionals is fostered by institutional support and interventions that address racism and promote growth and development at every level. While there appears to be a growing body of literature in social medical and popular press, peer-reviewed literature on the experiences of Black trainees and professionals in academic psychiatry is still limited. Additional studies, including systematic data collection among Black psychiatrists, psychologists, faculty, and clinical support staffin academic settings, are needed to continue to examine experiences related to race and racism along the educational and professional workforce continuum.[Psychiatr Ann.2022;52(12):509–513.]
Explanations Underlying the Lack of Utility of Diagnostic Depression Scales in Black Americans
Authors: Jones Gerald , Drake Christin , Lewis Crystal Fuller
Published: January 2023

Major depression disorder is one of the most common mental disorders in the United States. However, Black Americans are often underdiagnosed, misdiagnosed, or not treated for depression. Limited research has been conducted on the utility of diagnostic tools in identifying depression in the Black community and could explain lack of research and public health attention to mental illness in this population. Other explanations discussed include greater ability to cope with stressful situations and the myth of the ‘resiliency expectation,’ social activism and positive health outcomes, and lack of trust in institutions due to structural and interpersonal racism. Further research that provides contextualized results is warranted to better understand and recognize symptoms of depression, and development of more effective treatment modalities.

Evidence-Based Use of Atypical Antipsychotics in the Care of Children and Adolescents
Authors: Ramos-Marcuse Fatima , Kverno Karan
Published: January 2023

Atypical antipsychotics are increasingly used to treat children and adolescents with a variety of mental and behavioral symptoms, despite restrictive U.S. Food and Drug Administration indications. A recent taskforce advocates for a symptom-based approach to atypical antipsychotic use, rather than by diagnosis alone. Cautious prescribing of atypical antipsychotics should only take place after careful diagnostic assessment, review of prior treatments, and trials of other evidence-based medications. When used, monitoring metabolic indicators is crucial for the health and safety of patients. Risperidone and aripiprazole are highlighted as two different types of atypical antipsychotics commonly used to treat youth. [

The stability of anti-periodic solutions for fractional-order inertial BAM neural networks with time-delays
Authors: Zhang Yuehong , Li Zhiying , Jiang Wangdong , Liu Wei
Published: January 2023

The dynamic signal transmission process can be regarded as an anti-periodic process, and fractional-order inertial neural networks are widely used in signal processing and other fields, so anti-periodicity is also regarded as an important dynamic feature of inertial neural networks. This paper mainly studies the existence and Mittag-Leffler stability of anti-periodic solutions for a class of fractional-order inertial BAM neural networks with time-delays. By introducing variable substitution, the model with two different fractional-order derivatives is transformed into a model with only one fractional-order derivative of the same order. Using the properties of fractional-order calculus, the relationship between the fractional-order integral of the state function with and without time-delays is given. Firstly, the sufficient conditions for the boundedness and the Mittag-Leffler stability of the solutions for the system are derived. Secondly, by constructing the sequence solution of the function for the system and applying Ascoli-Arzela theorem, the sufficient conditions for the existence and Mittag-Leffler stability of the anti-periodic solution are given. Finally, the correctness of the conclusion is verified by a numerical example.
About coincidence points theorems on 2-step Carnot groups with 1-dimensional centre equipped with Box-quasimetrics

For some class of 2-step Carnot groups $ D_n $ with 1-dimensional centre we find the exact values of the constants in $ (1, q_2) $-generalized triangle inequality for their $ \text{Box} $-quasimetrics $ \rho_{\text{Box}_{D_n}} $. Using this result we get the best version of the Coincidence Points Theorem of $ \alpha $-covering and $ \beta $-Lipschitz mappings defined on $ (D_n, \rho_{\text{Box}_{D_n}}) $.
A hybrid multiple-criteria decision-making model for podcaster selection from the perspective of Taiwanese mattress brands
Authors: Chiu Chui-Yu , Tseng Mei-Niang , Chang Kuei-Lun
Published: January 2023

The year 2020 has been called the first year of the podcast in Taiwan. In recent years, Taiwan's podcast industry has witnessed gradual growth in the number of listeners, as well as in programme variety. Podcast subscribers can choose their favourite content, receive new content, and can choose what they want to listen to and download it through different hosting platforms. Additionally, a growing number of companies are attempting to use podcasts to market their brands, achieve targeted brand effects, and build their customer base, especially among the lead generation. This study developed a hybrid multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model to assist Taiwanese mattress brand executives in selecting podcasters to market their brands. This is a major issue that has not yet been explored in the literature. First, 12 sub-criteria (SC) were selected using the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) and categorised to establish the hierarchical structure. Then, a combination of decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), analytic network process (ANP), and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) was adopted to assist the case company's executives in selecting the best podcaster. The integrated operations performed in this study are logically coherent, practical, and functional. This hybrid MCDM model allows companies and decision-makers to make objective, efficient, and accurate decisions.
Do Jaw Deformities Adversely Affect Largemouth Bass?
Authors: Sylvia Andrea , Weber Michael J. , Froman Tyler
Published: January 2023

Largemouth Bass Micropterus nigricans anglers have mainly adopted catch-and-release practices with limited direct fishing mortality. However, catch-and-release angling could cause delayed mortality and nonlethal effects that could potentially affect population dynamics. For instance, hooking can result in jaw deformities, with unknown subsequent effects on vulnerability to angling, condition, growth, and mortality. Our objectives were to assess the prevalence of Largemouth Bass jaw deformities and test for differences in angling vulnerability, growth, condition, size structure, and mortality of fish with and without jaw deformities. Largemouth Bass were captured by electrofishing and by anglers at 41 tournaments at Brushy Creek Lake, Iowa, between April and August 2015. Jaw deformities were observed in 7.0% of fish caught at tournaments and 3.3% caught while electrofishing (5.8% overall). Angling recapture rates of tagged fish with (78.9%) and without (76.8%) jaw deformities were similar. Condition, growth, size structure, and mortality of fish with and without jaw deformities were also similar. Our results indicate jaw deformities have little effect on Largemouth Bass angling vulnerability, condition, growth, or survival; however, we still recommend careful handling of fish to minimize injuries that may occur during angling.
High Similarity in Winter Diet between Imperiled New England Cottontail and Invasive Eastern Cottontail
Authors: Carter Wales A. , McGreevy Thomas J. , Gerber Brian D. , Mayer Amy E. , Sullivan Mary E. , Tefft Brian C. , Husband Thomas P.
Published: January 2023

Ongoing declines in the imperiled New England cottontail Sylvilagus transitionalis have coincided with the introduction and expansion of the closely related eastern cottontail Sylvilagus floridanus. These paired population trends have led to the inference of competition between the two species. Competition between native and introduced species has often involved overlapping use of food resources, but limited effort has been spent to analyze the diets of New England cottontail and eastern cottontail and to evaluate the potential for resource competition. We used microhistologic analysis of fecal pellets to assess the winter diets of both species and we compared diet composition with available plant communities to evaluate their preferences for dietary items across southern New England and southeastern New York. We found no differences in diets between New England cottontail and eastern cottontail, although diets did differ between regions within the study area. Diet preferences also were consistent between the species and largely excluded nonnative plant genera. Our results demonstrate that these species are generalist herbivores and that there is high potential for competition for food resources in the winter between them, although the present lack of diet partitioning may indicate the presence of other factors limiting competition. This study highlights the need for careful evaluation of interactions between native and nonnative species, a prerequisite for developing conservation plans that appropriately account for interspecific competition.

Authors: Mohamed Hesham Zakaria , Mahmoud Khaled Mohamed , Mohsen Al-Absy Mujeeb Saif , Osman Hossam
Published: January 2023

The chapter deals with determining the nature of sustainable development activities and their role in improving the performance of SMEs in the proposed accounting framework that works to clarify how to achieve tax accounting for the services and products provided by these projects. Without being exposed to the occurrence of the so-called tax pressure on their financial performance, which may hinder their development in the near future and increase their economic and financial value compared to other similar institutions operating in SMEs, and according to the latest statistic in 2021 received from the Central Agency for Mobilization and Statistics, SMEs in Egypt have about two million establishments in the private sector, in addition to what was reported by the Central Agency for Statistics. The need for an accounting framework comes with clear features of tax accounting for SMEs, as it will positively affect the performance of these projects by encouraging their continuity. The state should reduce unemployment and increase the informal economy.

Authors: Giordino Daniele , Revello Cinzia
Published: January 2023

This study attempts to investigate the relationship between sustainability innovation, firm performance, financial stability, and competitive advantage. In order to do so, the authors explore the effects that the implementation of a new business process which targets sustainability has on three small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) operating in Italy. Within the methodology section the authors have discussed the various criteria utilized to select an appropriate and adequate sample of SMEs. Semi-structured interviews were utilized to gather qualitative data so as to reflect the lived experiences of various members of SMEs' personnel. Data, charts, and various reports were utilized. The findings suggest the presence of a positive relationship between sustainability innovation and firm performance. Furthermore, the authors have gathered and analyzed evidence which supports the hypothesis that sustainability innovation has a positive correlation when it comes to financial stability.

The second alternative model included investments. The proposed and implemented improvement actions brought benefits in a reduction of the changeover time of the tested machine.
Lean Healthcare
Authors: Dural-Selcuk Gozdem
Published: January 2023

Lean thinking is a phenomenon that originated in the production sector; nevertheless, it has been warmly welcomed by the service industry. Healthcare practitioners are also keen to benefit from that notion being aware of the potential contributions that lean operations would bring in their field. Healthcare operations have much in common with the production sector, yet it has its own characteristics which ought to be handled separately. This chapter is dedicated to providing a guideline for healthcare practitioners to apply statistical quality control tools within a correspondence to four main components of lean thinking: problem detection, process redesign, process reliability and sustainability, and continuous improvement. By this means, practitioners will be able to start their own journey in the world of lean healthcare systems through substantial statistical tools as well as systems thinking.

Authors: Adebiyi Marion Olubunmi , Obagbuwa Ibidun Christiana
Published: January 2023

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SAR-Cov-2) caused the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The global concern is the discovery of a new target drug for the total cure. Recently, some research showed that a few COVID-19 enzymes may have been contemplated to be potential drug targets, but not much is known about its structural biology. This research investigates the 3-D structure of protease SAR-CoV-2. The tertiary structure was determined by homology modeling. The Swiss-Model workspace and the basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) were employed for modeling, and the resulted model was validated with programs that include PROCHECK, Verify3D, and QMEAN to ascertain reliability. To establish the structures that fitted, HHBlits software was employed. To verify the structure quality, a Ramachandran plot was exploited. The binding site was determined using CASTp and DeepSite algorithms, which showed that this protein can be exploited as a prospective pharmaceutical target. Albeit further experimentation is required as a COVID-19 virus vaccine-design/target-drug.

Published: January 2023

Deep learning is one of the main technologies of machine learning. With deep learning, this chapter is talking about algorithms capable of mimicking the actions of the human brain through artificial neural networks. Compared to other algorithmic structures, neural networks have great advantages: first, their structure based on the stacking of non-linear functions gives them an enormous capacity. In this chapter, the authors will encompass the different models of the convolutional neural network that exist in the literature, their parameters, their architectures, their layers, their advantages, and their disadvantages. The objective is to help researchers to have a summary on deep learning.
Advanced Machine Learning Techniques in Spam Medical Events
Authors: Bouarara Yasmin
Published: January 2023

The detection of adverse events (spam) within a health establishment, associated or not with care, represents one of the axes of a risk management approach. It does not in any way constitute a means of denunciation, control, or sanction; the purpose being that the most important medical spam events do not recur. In this chapter the authors discuss the different algorithms of machine learning such as the KNN decision tree, naive bayes, etc., applicable to the filtering of medical spam event. The objective of these techniques is to control medical data in order to make decisions and achieve strategic objectives.

Privacy Preserving in the Medical Sector
Authors: Alicherif Nora
Published: January 2023

A number of fundamental rights are inseparable from human personality. These are in particular the right to the name, the right to missive letters, the right to physical integrity, the moral right of the author and, in the field which interests us, the right to the image, the right to honor, or the “right to secrecy”. These rights even have constitutional value. The Constitutional Council considers that they proceed from “respect for individual freedom.” In particular, laws that violate the search of vehicles, tax searches, and the publication of certain elements of tax declarations, have been declared unconstitutional. In this chapter the authors will talk about the different techniques that can be used for the preservation of privacy. This chapter will illustrate an overview of the different fundamental techniques for the preservation of privacy in medical sector such as: differential privacy, secure multiparty computation protocol, data anonymization, deidentification, fingerprint privacy, and others.

Published: January 2023

Healthcare, which is considered as one of the most strategic fields, has noticed a remarkable and continuous progress over time. Yet, this sensitive field though the crucial role it plays in providing both individuals and communities with cure and care, still needs more attention from policy makers, researchers, and doctors due to the rapid and intensive progress information communication technologies (henceforth ICT) improve day after day. Hence, the present investigation attempts to highlight the use of ICT technologies in developing healthcare in Algeria as a case study and seeks to suggest better ways of using technological advancement to overcome the challenges that still hinder against its progress. The study in hand is divided into several parts. First, it tackles the recent situation of healthcare in matter of using digital technologies in accessing, processing, and storing information. Then, it tries to shed light on the different drawbacks of the misuse of ICT in healthcare settings and state the causes and consequences.
Culturally-Responsive Disciplinary Strategies After Returning to the In-Person Learning Environment in the Era of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Sun Wei-Ling
Published: January 2023

In this chapter, the researcher provides in-depth discussions regarding the commonly used disciplinary strategies in schools before the COVID-19 pandemic, and the implementation of social-emotional learning initiatives after returning to in-person learning that is intentionally selected to address the increasing exposure of home violence, abuse, homelessness, and isolation among students during the pandemic in a predominately Latina/o population community located in a Texas borderland area. This research uses critical race theory and culturally responsive school leaders as a theoretical framework to analyze leadership strategies to address students' behavioral issues due to trauma and prevent exposure to the school-to-prison pipeline. With the elementary and secondary school emergency relief (ESSER) fund and the education disruption due to the pandemic, a paradigm shift pushes school leaders to adapt culturally responsive disciplinary strategies when addressing students' behavioral issues. Policy implications of the findings are discussed.
Practical Strategies for Higher Hope Learning Spaces
Authors: Alexander-Ashley Belinda M.
Published: January 2023

Childhood trauma was found to increase the risk of aggression and disruptive behavior in classrooms. The disruptive behavior risks exposure to the school-to-prison nexus, a result of inequities in zero tolerance and exclusionary policies. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic disrupted the world's learning systems leaving in its wake feelings of anxiety, depression, fear, uncertainty, and hopelessness. This exacerbated the existing trauma experienced by students. Thousands of studies involving hope theory advanced to a science with predictable outcomes and progressively more benefits for dealing with childhood trauma. The eight recommended practical strategies for higher hope include acknowledging that hope takes work, understanding the tenets of hope theory, emphasizing a personal approach to student needs, protecting educators from vicarious trauma, listening more and talking less, developing ambassadors of hope, and creating partnerships of hope focused on positive experiences, effective communication, and resilience to reduce the effects of childhood trauma.
