Factors influencing e-wallet usage intentions among Gen Z and Millennials in Jabodetabek
Authors: Setiawan Chandra , Purwanta Sumedho Sappuriso Ti
Published: May 2024

This study explores the factors influencing the adoption of e-wallets in the Jakarta-Bogor-Depok-Tangerang-Bekasi (Jabodetabek) metropolitan region, Indonesia, among Generation Z and millennials. The research uses a quantitative approach and analyzes data from 136 participants using SEM-PLS. The study examines Perceived Usefulness, Ease of Use, Risk, Trust, Convenience, and Attitude toward the Service. The findings reveal that Perceived Ease of Use influences Usefulness rather than Attitude toward the Service. Perceived Risk influences Attitude toward the Service, and Trust is crucial. This research contributes significantly to the existing literature on e-wallets and digital payment technology in Indonesia, thus contributing to the growth of the country's digital economy. Providers should communicate transparently about security and improve accessibility to increase adoption rates.
Influence de la perlite sur le comportement mécanique, l’absorption capillaire et la conductivité thermique des mortiers
Authors: Belaribi Omar , Safer Omar , Belas Nadia , Belguesmia Khalil , Hadj Sadok Rachid
Published: May 2024

Le sol algérien est riche en matériaux pouzzolaniques naturels, tels que la perlite naturelle, dans la région ouest plus précisément Hammam Boughrara à Maghnia (Tlemcen). Malheureusement, ils ne sont pas encore totalement exploités. La perlite, grâce à ses composants chimiques en l’occurrence la silice et l'alumine qui lui procurent des propriétés intéressantes, s’octroie le privilège d’être utilisée comme un ajout minéral actif dans la production du ciment. Cette étude contribue à apporter plus de données relatives à la valorisation de la perlite comme substitut partiel au ciment. Pour ce faire des mortiers contenant différents taux de perlite (0%, 10%, 15%, 20% et 25%) ont été confectionnés. Les comportements des cinq formulations à l’état frais (consistance, maniabilité et prise) et à l’état durci (absorption capillaire, propriétés thermo-physiques et résistances à la compression) ont été étudiés.  Les résultats de l’étude expérimentale prouvent que la perlite de Maghnia influe positivement sur les propriétés des mortiers. La possibilité de l’employer à des dosages allant jusqu’à 25% dans le but de diminuer le taux du ciment implique un avantage économique et écologique. Par ailleurs, un comportement mécanique à compression satisfaisant à long terme pour un taux de perlite de 20%, a été noté. En outre, les mortiers composés de perlite présentent de faibles conductivités thermiques ce qui permet de mettre en évidence l’effet bénéfique de la perlite comme isolant thermique et l’intérêt de valoriser cet ajout.

As zonas costeiras desempenham uma importante função de ligação e trocas energéticas entre os ecossistemas marinhos e terrestres, por se tratarem de regiões de transição e é nesses ambientes marinhos e costeiros que é possível observar a ocorrência das macroalgas marinhas. As coletas foram realizadas nos meses nov/17, no período de estiagem (PE), fev/18 período de transição (PT) e abr/18 no período chuvoso (PC). O estudo foi realizado na praia de Panaquatira, no Complexo Estuarino de São José (CESJ) – MA. Foram avaliados os dados físico-químicos e os nutrientes da água do mar e as macroalgas coletadas nos afloramentos rochosos da praia de Panaquatira, acondicionadas em frascos e transportados ao Laboratório de Biologia Vegetal e Marinha (LBVM/UEMA) e mantidas em freezer. Posteriormente foi feita a triagem, a fim de isolar gêneros e espécies e realizada a identificação taxonômica com auxílio de literatura especializada. Como tratamento estatístico foi feita a análise de similaridade, a similaridade de Jaccard e a análise de variância. A salinidade é uma das variáveis físico-químicas que mais influenciam as respostas funcionais dos organismos, sendo maior na estiagem. Houve diferenças significativas salinidade, pH, transparência da água, turbidez e temperatura da água (p<0,05). Para os nutrientes, a amônia, nitrato, nitrogênio total, fósforo total, fosfato e silicato as amostras foram significativamente diferentes. Foram identificados 23 táxons de macroalgas na praia de Panaquatira, sendo o Filo Rhodophyta (76%) o mais representativo. Quanto à Similaridade houve associação entre os pontos amostrais, com maior similaridade a estiagem e a transição (82%).

Building Bridges: Understanding the Interplay between Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Baby Boomers – Characteristics, Organisational Culture, and Organisational Identification in Modern Cities
Authors: Kam Aygün
Published: May 2024

Over the years, the profile of a modern city dweller has been evolving and diversifying due to the emergence of various generations. Different generations are characterised by distinct expectations and perspectives towards life. Therefore, in today’s highly dynamic environment, city authorities must deeply understand their city dwellers to build an influential organisational culture which will lead them to have city friendly citizens in order to create resilient, sustainable, and inclusive cities. This study aims to define the impact of Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Baby Boomers employees’ characteristics on organisational culture and organisational identification relationships in terms of professional and urban life. From this perspective, a study was carried out on 460 white-collar employees who are city dwellers working stationary in the private sector in Istanbul. The data were obtained in the course of a quantitative study carried out through an interview questionnaire using the CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) technique. The primary conclusions are that there is a statistically significant and positive relationship between clan (β = 0.360, p < 0.01) as well as market (β = 0.147, p < 0.05) culture and organisational identification. In addition, there is a statistically significant relationship between employees’ experience levels and their perceptions of adhocracy culture (F = 3.19, p < 0.05), and there is no statistically significant difference between the perceptions of Generation X, Y, and Baby Boomers employees about organisational culture and organisational identification levels.
Dyskusyjne aspekty zakresu zwolnienia od podatku od towarów i usług opieki szpitalnej

Published: May 2024

Przepisy dotyczące zwolnień podatkowych w podatku od towarów i usług nastręczają licznych problemów interpretacyjnych. Przyczyną tego jest złożoność materii gospodarczej, jakiej dotyka prawo podatkowe. Artykuł poświęcony jest problematyce zwolnienia z podatku od towarów i usług czynności, które co prawda są czynnościami ściśle związanymi z opieką szpitalną lub medyczną czy wręcz mogą zostać uznane za służące profilaktyce, zachowaniu, ratowaniu, przywracaniu i poprawie zdrowia, ale nie są czynnościami stricte leczniczo-opiekuńczymi.
Teoria dochodu rynkowego a konstrukcja niemieckiego podatku dochodowego od osób fizycznych
Authors: Orłowski Janusz , Frotscher Pierre
Published: May 2024

Teoria dochodu rynkowego (niem. Markteinkommenstheorie), przedstawiona w latach siedemdziesiątych XX wieku przez H.G. Ruppego, spotkała się z dużym zainteresowaniem w niemieckiej nauce prawa podatkowego i częściowo w orzecznictwie sądów. Jej podstawą jest teza, że przedmiotem podatku dochodowego może być dochód wygenerowany w wyniku zamierzonego, zgodnego z prawem udziału osoby w transakcjach rynkowych. Wyklucza się tu z opodatkowania dochody okazjonalne (niezarobkowe, np. z hobby) oraz spadki i darowizny. Ważnym czynnikiem jest ocena wpływu dochodów na zdolność poniesienia podatku dochodowego.

Uchwała 7 sędziów Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego z dnia 20 marca 2023 r. (sygn. III FPS 3/22) jest jednym z tych orzeczeń, które mają bezpośredni wpływ na codzienne funkcjonowanie wielu polskich rodzin. Przede wszystkim utrudnia realizację prawa do dokonania darowizny niepodlegającej opodatkowaniu. Uchwała wywiera również skutki w sferze prawnej. Pomimo dominującej linii orzeczniczej, liberalnie interpretującej art. 4a ust. 1 pkt 2 ustawy o podatku od spadków i darowizn, NSA wyraził odmienny pogląd. Celem niniejszej glosy jest krytyczna analiza argumentów przedstawionych we wspomnianej uchwale. Wnioski wynikające z wykładni językowej, celowościowej, a także systemowej prowadzą do zgoła innych spostrzeżeń. Przede wszystkim sam cel przepisu zidentyfikowany w uchwale nie odzwierciedla całościowo założeń ustawodawcy. Ponadto szczelność systemu podatkowego może zostać zabezpieczona także, gdy wpłaty na rachunek bankowy z odpowiednią adnotacją dokonuje sam obdarowany, po wcześniejszym przekazaniu pieniędzy w gotówce. Prawo przewiduje także wiele innych „instrumentów” gwarantujących bezpieczeństwo obrotu prawnego.

Published: May 2024

La presente investigación plantea una alternativa de gestión de Residuos de Construcción y Demolición (RCD), para disminuir la contaminación ambiental y paisajística, a través de un modelo de estudio para la implementación de una escombrera integrada con una planta de valorización de RCD. La finalidad de dicha infraestructura no es sólo eliminar los residuos, si no también valorizarlos a través de distintos procesos y convertirlos en nuevas materias primas para la construcción, reduciendo así el volumen a depositar en la escombrera y el consumo innecesario de nuevos recursos. Esta investigación sirve como referencia para la creación de proyectos de infraestructura de disposición final similares, que deseen insertarse en un modelo de economía circular en pro de un desarrollo sostenible. Proyectos como éste, en donde se priorice y se promueva hábitos para la gestión de residuos, los cuales para ser efectivos necesitan del respaldo de los gobiernos. Para poder llevar a cabo la propuesta de infraestructura de disposición final, la metodología sugerida consta de cuatro etapas. La primera, el estudio de mercado, donde se analiza la oferta y la demanda de los RCD en la ciudad de Chimbote, así como en algunas ciudades aledañas, a fin de conocer la capacidad que debe tener la escombrera. También, se propone como una medida de reutilización el uso de agregados reciclados, para la construcción de veredas. En segundo lugar, se desarrolla un estudio técnico, que consta de varios estudios preliminares y se determinó la ubicación óptima, el área, accesos, equipos, maquinarias y construcciones complementarias. En tercer lugar, se desarrolla un estudio económico, donde se analiza la inversión total a realizar, el tipo de financiamiento, los ingresos y egresos de la propuesta. Para finalmente en la cuarta etapa, con el estudio financiero, analizar los índices pertinentes que demuestren la viabilidad del proyecto, y concluir que se puede gestionar el 40% de los RCD generados en Chimbote, reutilizarlos de distintas maneras y eliminarlos en una escombrera autorizada.

Published: May 2024

Objetivo: Determinar el nivel de conocimientos, actitudes, y prácticas (CAP) de pacientes de tres hospitales peruanos ante la presencia de infecciones respiratorias en el año 2022. Materiales y métodos: Se aplicó una encuesta CAP a 213 pacientes en los hospitales Daniel Alcides Carrión de Lima, San José de Chincha y José Alfredo Mendoza Olavarría de Tumbes con edades de 18-65 años. La encuesta CAP tuvo 4 secciones (datos sociodemográficos, conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas), esta fue extraída de un estudio realizado en Malasia, y su sistema de puntuación fue de acuerdo con el estudio de referencia. Se inició con un análisis descriptivo de los CAP y los datos sociodemográficos; en la búsqueda de asociaciones entre datos sociodemográficos y el nivel de CAP se utilizó Chi cuadrado o Coeficiente de V de Cramer, para comparar los puntajes de CAP entre hospitales, se utilizó Kruskal-Wallis previa pruebas de normalidad de Shapiro-Wilk. Resultados: Los niveles de conocimientos fueron 55.4% pobres, actitudes 65.7% moderados y prácticas 97.7% inaceptables. Existe asociación entre los niveles CAP y determinadas características sociodemográficas como el estado civil, nivel de escolaridad, hospital de encuesta, historial de vacunación y algunas comorbilidades. El hospital según ubicación mostró asociación con el nivel de conocimientos, y el hospital San José obtuvo mayores puntajes de CAP. Conclusiones: Los niveles de CAP obtenidos fueron en su mayoría desfavorables. Se encontraron determinadas asociaciones con los niveles de CAP. Se recomiendan intervenciones que incrementen y mejoren los niveles de CAP frente a las infecciones respiratorias.

Authors: Jaguaribe Danielle , Ferreira Joelma , Santana Erika , Silva Anderson
Published: May 2024

Corncob briquettes represent a promising new source of renewable energy. However, no concrete data on the calorific value of these briquettes currently exists in the literature. Representative samples of corncobs were therefore collected and then analyzed in the laboratory to determine the properties of this biomass, including moisture and density. The production of biomass briquettes followed standardized procedures, such as the reduction of moisture content and granulometric separation, and appropriate compaction techniques, with a hydraulic press under pressure of 7 kg/cm2 with a working range of 130–145°C. The analysis was carried out according to established standards and guidelines. The results obtained show that this agro-industrial residue can be used to produce energy and that the calorific value of the residues used can be improved. The performance of the biomass studied was satisfactory in terms of energy efficiency, in comparison with the previous studies, carried under the same conditions, using sugarcane bagasse and coconut mesocarp. The superior calorific power values found in these briquettes were greater than 16,900 kj/kg, akin to certain wood types and equivalent to sugarcane bagasse briquettes produced using identical methodology.

Published: May 2024

Actuality. To develop effective tools for protecting the mental health of adolescents, medical workers need to clarify the leading reasons for its formation in modern conditions, predictors and criteria for the risk of its deterioration. Currently, there are no integrated medicalpsychological- social monitoring studies of adolescent mental health, including dynamic monitoring of psychological, pedagogical, social and medical indicative indicators. The purpose of the study is to review scientific publications devoted to the analysis of the state of mental health of children and adolescents in the Russian Federation. Research methods. Using the search image: («mental health of children and adolescents», «organization of psychiatric care for children and adolescents», «addictive behavior of children and adolescents», «risk factors for mental health of children and adolescents»), a collection of 63 relevant articles published by domestic and foreign authors over the past 15 years (2013–2023) have been formed, indexed in the bibliometric databases WoS, Scopus, RSCI, and in the search engines PubMed, Google Scholar. Research results. The performed analysis allows us to note that such issues as the manifestation of clinical mental disorders, their predictors with age-related detail, and the development of integral indicators of mental health deterioration have not been sufficiently studied. Studies indicating the presence of problems in the system of mental health protection of minors during their studies in general education organizations do not provide specific recommendations for their solution.. Conclusion. To develop effective tools for the protection of adolescent mental health, medical professionals need to clarify the leading causes of its formation in modern conditions, predictors and criteria for the risk of its deterioration. This will make it possible to fill the existing deficit in the algorithms of medical support for adolescents during their studies in general education organizations and medical, psychological and pedagogical integration.

Published: May 2024

The article presents an analysis of the Federal Law of July 29, 2021 № 247-FZ “On Mandatory Requirements in the Russian Federation” in relation to the basic mandatory requirements for the quality and safety of medical activities. As a result of the analysis, the authors draw the following conclusions. Mandatory requirements for the quality and safety of medical activities are measures to protect the life and health of people established by the Law on Mandatory Requirements, which in turn emphasizes their special importance in terms of ensuring and monitoring the quality and safety of medical activities. Heads of medical organizations should consider compliance with established mandatory requirements for the quality and safety of medical activities as priority areas of work. Heads of medical organizations should be as active as possible by participating in public discussions of regulatory legal acts containing mandatory requirements for the quality and safety of medical activities. The increase in the number of mandatory requirements for the quality and safety of medical activities observed in recent years does not allow for any weakening/reduction of federal state control (supervision) of the quality and safety of medical activities.
Implementation of a cluster initiative in the development of human resource potential of medical organizations in rural areas.
Authors:   Voronezh State Medical University, Esaulenko I. E.
Published: May 2024

The relevance of this study is due to the need to solve the problems of providing medical personnel for rural healthcare in order to increase the availability and quality of medical care for the population. Purpose of the study: to identify resources and identify risks for the formation of human resources in medical organizations in rural areas. Materials and methods. The work studied and analyzed the literature sources of domestic authors on the personnel problem in healthcare, as well as regulatory documents on the topic of research. To assess the state of health care staffing in the Voronezh region, data from statistical accounting forms No. 17, No. 30 were used. Using the method of comparative analysis, a study was carried out of indicators of the supply of medical personnel and staffing of medical positions in medical organizations of the Voronezh region, the main indicators of the activities of medical organizations in rural areas of the region. In order to study the factors contributing to the attraction of young specialists to medical organizations in rural areas, an anonymous online survey was conducted. To process the data obtained, sociological, analytical and statistical methods were used. Results. The Voronezh region has a satisfactory level of provision with medical workers, but they are unevenly distributed throughout the region. The shortage of personnel is more pronounced in rural areas – staffing of regular positions is decreasing, the proportion of people of retirement age is growing, and the influx of young specialists is decreasing. Discussions. The study made it possible to provide objective information about the state of provision of health care institutions with medical personnel and the reasons for understaffing in rural areas. A subjective assessment of graduates of medical universities of their employment opportunities in medical organizations in rural areas made it possible to identify “weak points” and take them into account when forming the personnel policy of the region. Conclusion. Recommendations for solving the problem of continuous professional development of medical personnel are proposed. The findings of the study can be used in the formation of effective personnel policies aimed at proactively predicting the process of their reproduction in the healthcare system.
The influence of hormonal contraception on the health of teenage girls.
Authors:   Izhevsk State Medical Academy, Savelyev V. N.
Published: May 2024

The article presents an analysis of modern foreign scientific literature on the effect of hormonal contraception on the health of teenage girls; states the need to support expanded clinical research before implementing recommendations for the use of hormonal contraceptives among adolescents and to allocate funding for programs to promote, encourage, and distribute hormonal contraception among adolescents as the main means of preventing abortion. Given that WHO recognizes the lack of strong evidence of funding for programs promoting hormonal contraception promoted by international organizations, aimed primarily at the poor and marginalized sections of the population, in our country these programs should be considered unacceptable, and especially in general educational organizations. Today, more than ever, joint efforts are needed on the part of health authorities, education, family and society to promote preventive educational and health activities in order to inform adolescents about the risks of hormonal contraception on health, as well as to develop in young people a responsible attitude towards their health, starting a family and future motherhood.

Authors: Bakhai Smita , Jordan Jacquelyn , Stoll Jennifer A.
Published: May 2024

Objectives. To improve COVID-19 vaccination rates in pregnant and recently pregnant women from a baseline rate of 30.8% to 60% over 6 months in a marginalized population.

Methods. This quality improvement (QI) project was conducted in a federally qualified health center in Western New York between November 2021 and April 2022, using a Lean Six Sigma method. The QI team created a fishbone diagram, process flow map, and driver diagram. Significant barriers were multiple preferred languages, limited health literacy, and a knowledge gap. Increased vaccination rates were the outcome measure. The process measures were attendance at educational events and increased knowledge in community health workers (CHWs) and doulas. Education for CHWs and patients, creating multilingual educational resources, and motivational interviewing sessions for CHWs and patients were the major interventions. We performed data analysis by using weekly run charts and a statistical process control chart.

Results. We achieved a sustainable increase in the COVID-19 vaccination rates in women from 30.0% to 48% within 6 months.

Introduction: Salivary gland tumors are complex to diagnose both on histopathology and cytology. Majority of these tumours arise in the parotid glands, followed by submandibular glands, and rarely in minor salivary glands. Warthin’s tumor (WT), also known as papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum, is characterized by a dense lymphoid stroma and a double layer of oncocytic epithelium with papillary and cystic architecture. Only 6-10% cases have been reported in the extra-parotid locations i.e. cervical lymph nodes, submandibular gland and larynx. Case Report: Our patient presented with painless bilateral submandibular swellings for 1.5 months with history of chronic smoking of two bundles of biddis per day for 32 years. Conclusion: Hereby, this case was unique in its presentation as it was located in an extra parotid region with bilateral origin, as these locations carry clinical significance in diagnosing and ruling out conditions like lymphoma.

Theatre has been identified as a powerful instrument of change for preventive medicine as a practical communication tool; various development agencies, United Nations bodies, and Aid groups have used theatre for development strategies to encourage communities to act and take responsibility for continued government insensitivity and irresponsibility in rural communities. This paper analyses the applied theatre methodologies through participatory research and action (PRA) and theatre for Development (TfD) strategies deployed in the Iheakpu-Awka community in the Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area, Enugu State, Nigeria, to address issues of health occasioned by a lack of water and poor health management facilities. The intervention is premised upon the bedrock of participation, considered the most critical factor for sustainable change and development. Anchored on health humanities and TfD as theoretical paradigms, the paper argues for communal dialogue and collective efforts toward the provision of safe potable water and medical care.

Published: May 2024

Objective To investigate the association between the initial serum total calcium and mortality in febrile and non-febrile patients among intensive care unit (ICU). Methods A retrospective cohort study with the data from the MIMIC-IV (v2.2) database. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, and the design variable was initial serum total calcium. Results A total of 39701 patients were enrolled in this study, comprising 38129 survivors and 1572 non-survivors. There was a ‘U’-shaped curve relationship between initial serum total calcium and hospital mortality among non-febrile patients or febrile patients. In unadjusted analysis, hypercalcemia was significantly associated with hospital mortality (p = 0.000) in non-febrile patients and with ICU mortality (p = 0.007) in febrile patients, while no significant correlation between hypocalcemia and mortality was observed. In the logistic regression model, compared to normal serum calcium, hypercalcemia was associated with increased mortality among non-febrile patients (odds ratio (OR) = 1.904, 95% CI: 1.271–2.853, p = 0.002), whereas hypocalcemia does not exhibit a significant correlation. Neither hypercalcemia nor hypocalcemia was associated with increased mortality among febrile patients. Conclusion The presence of hypercalcemia in ICU patients, particularly those who are non-febrile, is significantly associated with increased mortality. Therefore, prompt treatment of hypercalcemia should be prioritized for non-febrile patients in ICU.

Published: May 2024

This study compares speed and agility among top and amateur Vishakapatnam badminton players to provide thorough insights into the physical characteristics of the region's players. Speed and agility are important factors in badminton success, impacting players' ability to cover the court quickly and respond effectively to opponents' smashes. The sample of both elite and amateur players was tested, with mean speed and agility metrics taken for each group. The results show considerable differences in speed and agility between the two groups, with elite players outperforming amateurs. These findings can help to shape targeted training programs aimed at improving speed and agility among amateur players, potentially closing the performance gap between elite and amateur levels in Vishakapatnam badminton. Furthermore, this study sheds light on the physical traits that are common among badminton players in the region, contributing to a better knowledge of player characteristics and training requirements in the sport.
Novel 2D/3D Hybrid Organoid System for High-Throughput Drug Screening in iPSC Cardiomyocytes

Published: May 2024

Human induced pluripotent stem cell cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) allow for high-throughput evaluation of cardiomyocyte (CM) physiology in health and disease. While multimodality testing provides a large breadth of information related to electrophysiology, contractility, and intracellular signaling in small populations of iPSC-CMs, current technologies for analyzing these parameters are expensive and resource-intensive. We sought to design a 2D/3D hybrid organoid system and harness optical imaging techniques to assess electromechanical properties, calcium dynamics, and signal propagation across CMs in a high-throughput manner. We validated our methods using a doxorubicin-based system, as the drug has well-characterized cardiotoxic, pro-arrhythmic effects. hiPSCs were differentiated into CMs, assembled into organoids, and thereafter treated with doxorubicin. The organoids were then replated to form a hybrid 2D/3D iPSC-CM construct where the 3D cardiac organoids acted as the source of electromechanical activity which propagated outwards into a 2D iPSC-CM sheet. The organoid recapitulated cardiac structure and connectivity, while 2D CMs facilitated analysis at an individual cellular level which recreated numerous doxorubicin-induced electrophysiologic and propagation abnormalities. Thus, we have developed a novel 2D/3D hybrid organoid model that employs an integrated optical analysis platform to provide a reliable high-throughput method for studying cardiotoxicity, providing valuable data on calcium, contractility, and signal propagation.
