Authors: Éliton dos Santos José
Published: January 2025

Objetivo: Analisar a relação entre a composição dos conselhos de administração e a liquidez de caixa em períodos de crises econômicas em empresas brasileiras de capital aberto listadas na B3 entre os anos de 2010 e 2020. Lacuna: Pesquisas que analisam a composição do conselho de administração como determinante do volume de caixa das empresas em períodos de crises econômicas ainda são pouco exploradas em mercados subdesenvolvidos, o que torna a pesquisa relevante para o cenário brasileiro.
Metodologia: A pesquisa tem abordagem empírica e quantitativa. Os dados foram extraídos da base de dados Economática e dos formulários de referências das empresas disponíveis no site da Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM) e os principais resultados são evidenciados utilizando quatro métodos de estimação (Efeitos fixos, Tobit, GMM e MQ2E).
Relevância: As partes interessadas devem se atentar ao fato de que práticas de governança corporativa como a adequada composição dos conselhos desempenham papel importante nas formulações de estratégias que auxiliam a gestão da empresa a enfrentar momentos adversos causados por restrições econômicas em períodos de crises.
Impacto: Como implicações práticas, as evidências demonstradas nesta pesquisa mostram que a composição dos conselhos de administração causa diferentes comportamentos na liquidez de caixa das empresas em períodos de crise, e dessa forma tal composição pode afetar a política financeira da empresa.
Resultados e contribuições: A dualidade do Chief Executive Office (CEO) e a independência do conselho impactam negativamente a liquidez de caixa em períodos de crises econômicas, enquanto o tamanho do conselho tem impacto positivo na liquidez de caixa. Não foram encontradas evidências que a proporção de mulheres e de conselheiros com expertise financeira causem impactos na liquidez de caixa em períodos de crises. A pesquisa contribui com o entendimento que a estrutura de governança corporativa influencia na política financeira da empresa, inclusive em períodos de crises econômicas.

Authors: Fonseka N. A. , Herath R. , Edirisinghe M. P. , Thilakaratne H. K. M.
Published: January 2025

Common peroneal nerve injury is an uncommon complication of childbirth, with the nerve being at risk of injury due to its superficial location over the fibular head. The commonest presentation includes inability to dorsiflex the ankle and toes, eversion of the foot, and sensory impairment over the lateral aspect of the calf and dorsal surface of the foot. Neuropraxia is the most common form of injury and is often transient. Diagnosis is typically made through clinical evaluation, complemented by nerve conduction studies and electromyography. Conservative management and physiotherapy usually lead to improvement over weeks. Intrapartum measures to reduce the occurrence of this injury include avoiding external pressure over the knee region, repositioning every 10-15 minutes during the second stage of labor, using lithotomy position in selected cases, employing non-motor blocking neuraxial analgesia for mobility, and protecting the patient's legs from the hard surface of the stirrups. This is case report of common peroneal nerve injury which occured following mid cavity forceps delivery.

Sri Lanka is well known for high-quality vein graphite, which can be exported with value addition at a higher price than the raw form to remain competitive in the global market. The present study aims at industrial scale production of Sri Lankan vein graphite above 99.9% purity level using ecofriendly and chemical methods. For the first time a novel mechanical floatation method was followed to purify vein graphite above 99% on mass scale. Acid leaching method was followed subsequently to remove most of the impurities from graphite at industrial scale as well. Subsequently, alkali-acid method was followed for further purification of graphite. The raw and treated graphite were subjected to X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis to verify any structural change resulting from the treatment process. XRD analysis showed that the crystalline structure of graphite has not significantly changed upon treatment. XPS and FTIR spectroscopic analysis also revealed that there is no apparent functional groups attached to graphite structure after treatment. SEM images demonstrated a flaky appearance of graphite without any clear changes in morphology even after the treatment with acids at commercial level quantitates. The results illustrated that combination of the flotation technique and chemical treatment allow graphite purification well above 99.9% carbon without significant structural changes.

Endoscopic botulinum toxin injections (EBTI) are used to treat refractory gastroparesis in various patient populations, but their use still needs to be standardized. The PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were searched for studies focusing on using endoscopic, intrapyloric botulinum toxin injections to treat refractory gastroparesis. Reports published more than 5 years ago and studies that evaluated EBTI in conjunction with another treatment were excluded. Case reports were included in this analysis due to the limitations of recently published literature. 57 unique citations were identified and screened, and 31 items were excluded based on the pre-determined exclusion criteria. Of the remaining 26 citations, 6 items met the criteria for final review. Most reports determined that EBTI is promising as a treatment for refractory gastroparesis, but concluded that further, large-scale, randomized control trials should be performed before a definitive conclusion can be made. Our search also found that using EBTI to prevent refractory delayed gastric emptying is a questionable practice and should be used with caution at this time. According to reports published in the past 5 years, it appears that EBTI is an effective treatment for refractory gastroparesis. However, a significant amount of additional investigation is needed before EBTI can be widely recommended as an effective treatment for gastroparesis. Additional large-scale randomized, controlled trials should be conducted as there is insufficient data on the topic to make definitive conclusions.

Authors: Luedke Lace E , Reddeman Elizabeth , Rauh Mitchell J.
Published: January 2025

Context:

Track & field and cross country athletes experience high rates of lower extremity injuries. The Running Readiness Scale (RRS) may help determine which athletes have a higher likelihood of lower extremity injury.

Objective:

To determine if RRS performance at the start of the season was related to likelihood of experiencing a lower extremity injury during the subsequent track & field or cross country season.

Design:

Prospective cohort study.

Setting:

University.

Patients or Other Participants:

113 NCAA Division III track & field athletes in running, jumping and vaulting events and cross country runners (50 female, 63 male, mean±SD age 19.9±1.3 years).

Main Outcome Measure(s):

Athletes were assessed on RRS tasks: double-leg hops, plank, step ups, single-leg squats, and wall sit at the start of their season and then were observed by team athletic trainers during the season for occurrence of lower extremity injuries that resulted in missing one or more practices or meets. Adjusted Odds Ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the likelihood of lower extremity injury.

Results:

Thirty-seven athletes (32.7%) experienced a lower extremity injury. Athletes scoring ≤3 on the RRS were almost five times more likely to experience lower extremity injury (AOR=4.8; 95%CI: 2.1-11.3) than athletes scoring ≥ 4. Athletes failing double-leg hops or wall sit tasks were more likely to experience lower extremity injury (p<0.05).

Conclusions:

Track & field and cross country athletes with RRS scores of ≤3 had a higher likelihood of lower extremity injury than those with scores of ≥4.
Role of frequent topical steroid in initial period of ocular superglue injury: A case report
Authors: Chand Stuti , Waghamare Shalaka , Mallik Kiran Bala , Singh Anupam
Published: January 2025

Superglue injury is a form of accidental chemical injury encountered in an ophthalmic emergency department. It is more commonly caused by an accidental splash of superglue to the eye due to incautious and improper handling, requiring immediate medical attention. A 21-year-old male presented to the ophthalmic emergency department had a history of an accidental squirt of superglue in his right eye while repairing his broken spectacle half an hour before his presentation, followed by foreign body sensation and watering from his right eye. A thorough irrigation of the right eye with 2 L of ringer lactate solution was done. Upon fluorescein staining, it was negative. The patient was medically managed with frequent early topical steroids, topical antibiotics, and lubricant. On the very next day, the corneal epithelial defect was noted, hence, the frequency of topical steroids was reduced to six times per day. The symptoms of the patient improved significantly within a few hours of the incident. Through this case report, we recommend frequent but judicious use of topical steroids in the early phase of superglue injury to combat the discomfort of the insult.

Authors: Jain Divya , Gandhi Komal , Gupta Medha , Jain Kajal , Bhukal Ishwar
Published: January 2025

There is a lack of consensus and uniformity about the test dose in epidurals for labor analgesia. We, therefore, conducted a questionnaire-based survey to assess the current practice in India regarding test-dose for labor epidurals among practicing obstetric anesthetists. A Google form based questionnaire was circulated to 300 members of the Association of Obstetric Anesthesiologists (AOA) of India of which 128 (42.7%) responded. According to our survey, labor analgesia is routinely practiced by only 40 (32%) responders. Sixty-eight (53.1%) responders reported placement of an epidural catheter at the patient’s request. Less than 50% reported the use of test dose for epidural catheter placement confirmation. Ninety-eight (76.6%) responders give the test dose at the time of catheter placement while 22 (17.1%) give it every time before injecting the local anesthetic as a top-up. The majority preferred using 3–4 mL of 2% lidocaine as test dose. Seventy-three (57%) responders relied on the use of conventional test dose of lidocaine with epinephrine. 8.5% of responders had experienced side effects with epidural test dose during labor analgesia. This survey highlights not just variations in the clinical practice regarding epidural test dose for labor analgesia but gross deviation from the current recommended standard of practice. The issue can be addressed by developing clear practice guidelines.
Applicability of Lubo™ collar in non-invasive airway management - A narrative review
Authors: Vaithialingam Balaji , Karupakula Samanvitha
Published: January 2025

Airway management is a critical aspect of medical care, especially in unconscious or anesthetized patients. Following administration of sedatives, loss of upper airway tone and supraglottic airway obstruction are common, resulting in adverse respiratory events. The anesthesiologist frequently performs a manual jaw thrust in these scenarios to maintain the upper airway patency. Manual jaw thrust, on the contrary, requires a dedicated assistant to assist with ventilation, which can be challenging if manpower is limited during an airway crisis. A more recent device, the Lubo™ airway collar, can provide continuous mandibular thrust with cervical spine immobilization. Limited research has been conducted on the safety and effectiveness of this novel airway device. This narrative review focuses on the scope and current evidence of the Lubo™ airway collar in the field of anesthesia.

Published: January 2025

In this article, we explored 18 studies showing the impact of the intraoperative recruitment maneuver on patients with obesity undergoing laparoscopic surgery. A recruiting maneuver accompanied by a more significant positive end-expiratory pressure enhances intraoperative oxygenation and respiratory mechanics in obese patients undergoing surgery. They are safe and do not have unfavorable hemodynamic consequences.
Efficacy of erector spinae plane block for postoperative analgesia after percutaneous nephrolithotomy: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Authors: Singh Ajay , Sharma Aditya Prakash , Ganesh Venkata , Gupta Rekha , Sharma Gopal , Naik Naveen B. , Sethi Priyanka , Kaloria Narender , Varma Prerna
Published: January 2025

Introduction:

Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a relatively newer approach to the paraspinal fascial plane block. The analgesic efficacy of this block is presently being established in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). This meta-analysis was designed to assess the effectiveness of ESPB as a perioperative analgesic technique when compared with conventional analgesia (control) in PCNL.

Material and Methods:

We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on the use of ESPB for perioperative analgesia in PCNL for renal stone disease. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, and EMBASE using the terms ((erector spinae plane block) AND ((Analgesia) OR (visual analogue scale) OR (VAS) OR (opioid*) OR (morphine) OR (tramadol))) AND ((percutaneous nephrolithotomy) OR (PCNL)) with an intention to include all the randomized studies comparing ESPB with the control group. The risk of bias was assessed using RoB2.

Results:

A total of 187 records were identified and after the exclusions, a total of 10 trials (560 patients, 503 for primary outcome) were included. Pain scores were significantly lower in the ESPB group as compared to the control group except at the 12th postoperative hour. There were significantly better pain scores at 24 h in the ESPB group as compared to the control group (Standardized mean difference (SMD) −0.46, 95% CI (−1.05, 0.13), moderate GRADE evidence). The total opioid consumption was significantly lower in the ESPB group (SMD −1.50, 95% CI (−1.7 to −1.29, moderate GRADE evidence).

Conclusions:

ESPB is more effective than conventional analgesia in terms of postoperative opioid consumption after PCNL. Future studies should incorporate better double-blinding techniques, transparent reporting of methods, and sham controls (such as additional dressing post general anesthesia) which were lacking in the current studies.
Evaluation of ultrasound measured tongue thickness, tongue thickness–thyromental distance ratio, and skin-to-epiglottis distance in predicting unanticipated difficult laryngoscopy
Authors: Rastogi Amit , Singh Abhijeet Kumar , Srivastava Divya , Kannaujia Ashish Kumar , Singh Tapas K. , Mishra Prabhaker
Published: January 2025

Background and Aims:

The contemporary literature review suggests upper airway ultrasound can help us to diagnose an unanticipated difficult airway before laryngoscopy. The primary objective of this study was to compare ultrasonography (USG) and clinical airway indices across easy and difficult laryngoscopy groups.

Material and Methods:

This prospective observational study included 258 patients scheduled to undergo surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. Ultrasonographic upper airway parameters, viz., tongue thickness (TT), skin-to-epiglottis distance (DSE), and tongue thickness to thyromental distance ratio (TT/TMD) were measured. Patients were identified as easy or difficult laryngoscopy groups based on their Cormack Lehane (CL) grading.

Results:

Out of 258 patients, 20 (7.75%) had difficult laryngoscopy, and 238 (92%) had easy laryngoscopy. The USG measured TT mean, and median values were 6.16 ± 0.39 [6.10] cm in difficult and 5.41 ± 0.36 [5.40] cm in easy laryngoscopy groups. The USG measured mean and median value of DSE were 2.75 ± 0.09 [2.74] in difficult and 2.27 ± 0.23 [2.27] in easy laryngoscopy groups. The ratio of TT/TMD with mean and median values of 0.98 ± 0.07 [0.99] in difficult and 0.84 ± 0.13 [0.82] in easy laryngoscopy. Using the inputs, the diagnostic accuracy of the ultrasound-measured significant variables was calculated in terms of their area under the curve using the receiver operating characteristic curve.

Conclusions:

This study revealed a relationship between sonographic measurements like TT, DSE, and TT/TMD ratio for easy and difficult laryngoscopy identification. Including these sonographic parameters and their cut-off values may enhance our ability to predict an unanticipated difficult laryngoscopy.
Perioperative euglycemic DKA: The YIN and YANG of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors
Authors: Bhosale Shilpushp , Golani Akash , Joshi Malini Premkumar , Kulkarni Atul Prabhakar
Published: January 2025

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors are gaining widespread acceptance in managing diabetic patients due to their favorable cardiac and renal protective effects. However, these drugs can cause a lethal complication described as sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor-associated perioperative ketoacidosis (SAPKA) if they are continued until surgery. The FDA recommends stopping these medications at least 4–6 days before surgery to avoid the risk of euglycemic ketoacidosis, which can present a diagnostic challenge for perioperative physicians. We present three patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgeries who on SGLT2 inhibitors developed perioperative SGLT2i-associated perioperative ketoacidosis.

Authors: Zúñiga F. , Dec D. , López I.F. , Dörner J.
Published: January 2025

Las praderas son el componente alimenticio más utilizado en los sistemas ganaderos en el sur de Chile. El pastoreo excesivo puede alterar las propiedades mecánicas e hidráulicas del suelo provocando un efecto negativo sobre su estructura. Se evaluaron los cambios temporales provocados por el pastoreo ovino sobre propiedades mecánicas e hidráulicas del suelo en condiciones contrastantes de coberturas pratenses.
Sobre un Andisol se establecieron 4 tipos de praderas (T1-Mixta; T2-Multiespecies; T3-Naturalizada sin fertilización y T4-Naturalizada con fertilización) que fueron pastoreadas con una carga instantánea de 625 ovejas ha-1. Posterior al pastoreo (dic. 2010 y oct. 2011) se colectaron muestras inalteradas (0-10 cm) para determinar la capacidad de soporte (CS) y conductividad de aire del suelo (kl).
La CS de los suelos varió de “muy baja” (< 30 kPa) a “baja” (30-60 kPa) en un rango de 7 kPa (T2-2011) a 57 kPa (T3-2011). Los flujos de aire convectivo (kl) estuvieron bajo el valor umbral de -3,26 log cm s-1, independiente del año de medición o tipo de pradera. No obstante, los flujos de aire promedio para T3 y T4 fueron de -3,9 log cm s-1 y de -4,6 log cm s-1 para T1 y T2. La relación entre CS y kl en la temporada 2011 (p = 0,011; R2 = 0,978) sugiere un aumento de la estabilidad estructural del suelo asociada a la fertilización mineral que permitió un mayor desarrollo de raíces y un mayor flujo de aire en los suelos que mantuvieron su estructura.

Functions
Authors: Aslandere Turgay , Durak Umut
Published: January 2025

This article provides a comprehensive review of existing literature on AI-based
functions and verification methods within vehicular systems. Initially, the
introduction of these AI-based functions in these systems is outlined.
Subsequently, the focus shifts to synthetic environments and their pivotal role
in the verification process of AI-based vehicle functions. The algorithms used
within the AI-based functions focus primarily on the paradigm of deep learning.
We investigate the constituent components of these synthetic environments and
the intricate relationships with vehicle systems in the verification and
validation domain of the system. In the following, alternative approaches are
discussed, serving as complementary methods for verification without direct
involvement in synthetic environment development. These approaches include
data-oriented methodologies employing statistical techniques and AI-centric
strategies focusing solely on the core deep learning algorithm.

Published: January 2025

The research is motivated by the need to gain a deeper understanding of students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities, particularly in algebra, and to identify and address the productive struggles the encounter while solving problems. This research aims to analyze students' mathematical problem-solving abilities in solving algebra problems and identify students' productive struggles in solving these problems. This research was carried out using a qualitative approach with descriptive methods and instruments used in this research are problem solving ability tests, questionnaires that have been validated by education experts, and interview guides. Researchers selected students based on their level of productive struggle, namely high, medium, and low. The result revealed that students who have high productive struggle can answer the three questions correctly according to the problem-solving stages, starting from the understanding stage, transformation stage, process skills stage, and conclusion stage. Students who have moderate productive fighting power can answer the three questions only up to the understanding and transformation stage. At the process skills stage, students show errors in calculating and need teacher motivation to continue their struggle in solving mathematical problems. Students who have low productive fighting power can answer questions only up to the understanding stage, limited to writing back what they know and ask. In this category, students need intervention assistance from researchers to encourage their productive struggles. This assistance does not eliminate students' opportunities to think actively, on the contrary, through this method students are required to interpret their knowledge.

Authors: Кунц Е.В. , Латышева Л.А.
Published: January 2025

Введение: одним из приоритетных направлений современной уголовной и уголовно-ис­полнительной политики является гуманизация назначения и исполнения наказания. Наличие даже самого гуманного, справедливого законодательства еще не приводит к желаемой цели. В свою очередь, это обязывает рассматривать законодательство как неотъемлемый элемент уголовной политики, которая должна своевременно реагировать на происходящие измене­ния в социуме, учитывать современные реалии и тенденции. Целью исследования является определение системности гуманизации назначения наказаний и его исполнения, взаимосвя­зи санкций, закрепленных в отечественном уголовном законодательстве, с эффективностью уголовно-правового реагирования государства на преступления, совершаемые женщинами, в том числе имеющими малолетних детей. Методы: историко-правовой, формально-юриди­ческий, сравнительно-правовой, дескриптивный, статистический методы и метод правового моделирования. Результаты исследования подтверждают необходимость формулирования стратегии гуманизации уголовного и уголовно-исполнительного законодательства о борьбе с преступлениями, совершаемыми женщинами. Выводы: при выборе мер процессуального принуждения и уголовного наказания следует учитывать данные, относящиеся к характери­стике личности (возраст, состояние здоровья, род занятий, семейное положение, наличие ма­лолетних детей, лиц, находящихся на иждивении, и другие индивидуальные обстоятельства).

Introduction: humanization of assignment and execution of punishment is one of the priority vectors of modern criminal and penal policy. The existence of even the most humane and just legislation does not yet lead to the desired goal. In turn, this obliges to consider legislation as an integral element of criminal policy, which should timely respond to the ongoing changes in society, taking into account modern realities and trends. Purpose: to determine consistency of humanization of sentencing and its implementation, relationship between sanctions enshrined in domestic criminal legislation and effectiveness of the state's criminal legal response to crimes committed by women, as well as women with young children. Methods: historical-legal, formal-legal, comparative-legal, descriptive, statistical methods and the method of legal modeling. The results of the study confirm the need to formulate a strategy for the humanization of criminal and penal legislation on combating crimes committed by women. Conclusion: when choosing measures of procedural coercion and criminal punishment, it is necessary to take into account the data related to the characteristic of a woman, her age, state of health, occupation, marital status, presence of minor children, dependents and other individual circumstances.

Published: January 2025

Intensive development of information systems creates conditions for development and implementation of modern information tools that allow automating human resources management. Technologies that enable transition to new conditions for using information systems are being introduced gradually.
Transition to automation begins with a start of data transfer. Users actively use connections between systems and databases all types, created both centrally and individually. Personnel is the main component development of all authorized management systems, so beginning any development of a production automation system or a higher education institution should start with a module of automated management system “Kadry”, to which other parts can be gradually added. In other words, “Kadry” module is a priority in developing any automated management system. At the same time, basic principles of its construction are those based on modern, generally accepted ideas of designing open automated systems and networks, and experience in creating and operating similar systems in leading higher education institutions. In this paper, we present an example a basic technical structure for an automated management system at a higher education institution and analyse information flow structures of the information system “Kadry”.
Based on results of analysis, a functional diagram of personnel records management system is built. Algorithm of the information system for personnel accounting, consisting in nine blocks, has been developed, and database management system and programming conditions have been defined.
Possible options for building modules of the information system “Kadry” are proposed and requirements for its hardware and software are formulated.
Local testing a developed information system for keeping records on personnel allowed to conclude that it is efficient and functions correctly.
ANALYSIS OF NETWORK MODELLING TOOLS FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF THEIR USE FOR PRACTICAL TRAINING OF CYBERSECURITY SPECIALISTS
Authors: Okhrimchuk V. V. , Okhrimchuk I. A.
Published: January 2025

Despite the existing information security systems, the key aspect of effective cyber defense remains the level of training of personnel responsible for cyber security. Today, the training of a cybersecurity specialist should be based on a comprehensive study of modern information technologies, mechanisms and patterns of cyberattacks, ways to counter them, and include both theoretical and practical components. It has been established that the most common practice in the leading educational and scientific institutions of the world and Ukraine in terms of practical training of cybersecurity specialists is the creation and deployment of complex software and hardware complexes - cyber training grounds, but this requires significant resources. Therefore, software tools for emulating and simulating computer networks are becoming an alternative to obtaining initial practical skills in cybersecurity.
The article analyses three of the most popular free tools for simulating and emulating computer networks - Cisco Packet Tracer, GNS3 and EVE-NG - with regard to the possibility of their use for practical training of cybersecurity specialists. The analysis found that Cisco Packet Tracer, which is aimed at novice users, provides simulation of network devices exclusively from Cisco, allows you to configure basic protocols and practice the basics of cyber defence. GNS3 is slightly more advanced than Cisco Packet Tracer in terms of functionality, emulates real operating system images and supports many network device vendors, making it useful for complex training tasks. In addition, GNS3 provides the ability to recreate cyberattack scenarios, and the integrated Wireshark network analyser allows you to monitor traffic and analyse the course of a cyberattack on the system. In turn, EVE-NG is a powerful network emulation platform that is very close to GNS3 in terms of functionality. It also provides extensive hardware support and enables the deployment of complex network topologies. However, the main feature of EVE-NG is its client-server architecture, which enables multi-user operation.
Thus, Cisco Packet Tracer, GNS3, and EVE-NG complement each other in the process of acquiring practical cybersecurity skills at different levels of education. The use of all three tools in training programmers will help to develop the comprehensive knowledge and practical skills necessary to effectively protect critical information infrastructure from cyberattacks.

Objective: This proposal aims to manage risk in an organization based on the management of its internal processes; from the identification of each risk, impact, assessment and characterization in the documentation, a methodology was proposed for application to all types of organizations.
 
Methodology: The development of this descriptive and analytical approach research carried out a deep analysis of the international standards ISO 31000:2018, ISO 9001:2015 and what is established in the COSO risk management framework to integrate their requirements and guidelines into a single process characterization document.
 
Results: The proposal presented allows to collect the requirements of the standards under study and unify them in the process file. However, the main contribution of this proposal is the integration of risk management in each activity of all collaborators in their day to day; aligning the activities towards the fulfillment of business objectives, providing a method to evaluate the processes with their implicit risks and generating a risk management culture in the organization.
 
Conclusions: The development of this work confirmed the initial idea of ​​integrating risk management in an organization based on the identification and assessment of risks in each process; in addition to the possibility of linking and involving all the collaborators of the organization as part of an integral management in the business strategy as a response to adapt to highly complex contexts and changing conditions that demand from organizations high levels of efficiency in their processes and the capacity for effective response to the requirements of the global context established in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that require high quality organizations.

Published: January 2025

Objective: Rohingya refugee children are among the most vulnerable groups in the world. Despite the persecution that they received from the Myanmar government, the negative stigma towards them has worsened their conditions. Hence, education is the only way to change their lives across generations. However, while residing in Malaysia, these children have limitations in accessing formal education in national schools and most probably enrol in Alternative Learning Centres (ALC). Consequently, this study argues that every child deserves the right to education regardless of their status and must be in line with the aims of the SDGs and other international legal frameworks.
 
Theoretical Framework: The Sustainable Development Goals on “Quality Education” emphasize the need to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote opportunities for lifelong learning for all.
 
Method: In-depth interviews with informants involving four key persons representing policymakers and implementers, and 10 Rohingya parents who registered their children in alternative learning centres were collected with the aim to examine the extent of quality education being emphasised for Rohingya children in Malaysia.
 
Results and Discussion: The result of the analysis found that the Rohingya refugee children received limited quality education due to no access to formal education, in which education was only provided at alternative learning centres. Nonetheless, both the provider (the alternative learning centres) and receiver (Rohingya parents and children) still struggle with a number of issues and challenges.
 
Originality/Value: This study is unique in that it examines the educational needs of Rohingya refugee children in Malaysia in a timely and context-specific manner, particularly through the lens of international human rights and the sustainable development framework. It highlights the gap between global educational goals and local realities, making it an important contribution to the field of refugee education.
Definition of Margin Trading in Securities and Its Impact on Sustainable Development
Authors: Fadhil Luay Qasim , Khudur Hussein Riyadh Khudur
Published: January 2025

Introduction: The study addresses the definition of margin trading in securities, exploring its definition in jurisprudence and legislation and clarifying its legal nature and characteristics. This concept is based on enhancing the financial capacity of market participants and enabling them to purchase as many securities as possible, which positively reflects on increasing the number of transactions in financial markets, thereby activating market movement.
 
Objectives: This research aims to extract multiple theoretical and practical benefits. The theoretical benefits include providing an understanding for participants in financial institutions and margin trading procedures. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for academics in developing sciences and studying margin trading, while the practical benefits lie in defining the precise meaning for researchers in this subject.
 
Method: The research will rely on the comparative legal research methodology, in addition to the fact that any legal study inevitably involves the analysis of the legal texts relevant to its subject. Therefore, both methodologies will be followed, analyzing and comparing the laws of Iraq, Egypt, and the UAE.
 
Research implication: This topic addresses a contemporary issue that requires a thorough understanding and study to arrive at conclusions that can benefit the researcher first, and those interested in securities market transactions second, especially since anyone entering into a particular transaction must be knowledgeable about its provisions and understand the consequences that result from it. The problem of studying the definition of margin trading lies in the absence of a comprehensive and definitive definition encompassing all dimensions of this concept.
 
Results and Discussion: One of the results of this research is the absence of a definition of margin trading in Iraqi laws. Accordingly, we proposed a comprehensive definition that excludes this type of trading, and we hope that the Iraqi legislator will adopt it.

One of the important physical conditionings that football players must have is endurance. The indicator to determine the level of endurance is vo2max. Vo2max is the maximum level of oxygen consumed by athletes at a certain time. The purpose of this study was to determine how HIIT training can increase the vo2max of football athletes. The method used is literature review. Literature searches were conducted through the google scholar database. With a range of years 2019-2023. The keywords used were "HIIT" AND "training" AND "vo2max" AND "football" OR "soccer". The article screening process in writing this literature review uses the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses literature search extension) flow reference. The screening results obtained 511 articles then, eliminated according to the criteria. The criteria used are (1) HIIT research that uses experimental research methodology used for vo2max and football (2) Can be accessed online or for download articles. From the screening results using the criteria, 10 articles from international and national sources were obtained that were ready to be used for research. The information obtained in this literature review shows that HIIT training can increase the vo2max of football players by means of maximum pulse intensity up to 90% with relatively short active intervals which results in increased oxygen demand so that the heart muscle and skeletal muscles work very hard.
