How important is the Expiratory Resistance Level in the Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) Mask?
Authors:   Sleep Apnea Institute, USA, S Hakim Tawfic , M Camporesi Enrico ,   University of South Florida, Department of Surgery, 2 Tampa General Circle, Tampa, USA
Published: May 2024

EPAP masks have been found to be effective in patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea and are FDA cleared for such purpose. EPAP masks are not always effective, but the reason for lack of effectiveness in some patients is not well understood. EPAP masks offer different levels of expiratory resistance, but it is not clear if such difference in expiratory resistance makes one mask more effective than another mask. Intuitively it is reasonable to think that more expiratory resistance would provide more pressure and therefore maybe more effective. That may not be so. We offer evidence that shows why expiratory resistance may not be an important factor that determines the effectiveness of the mask. Regardless of how much expiratory resistance, all EPAP masks work comparable to a low level of CPAP therapy and are more suitable for use in patients with snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Having more expiratory resistance does not necessarily mean a more effective mask. A user should not worry too much about how much resistance a mask has and focus more on how comfortable is the mask and if they get better and quieter sleep

Isolation, Identification and Detection of Campylobacter Fetus from Dairy & Poultry Products and Development of PCR
Authors: Bhavitha B.
Published: May 2024

Campylobacters spp. are mainly responsible for gastrointestinal infections. The main source of infection is the consumption of contaminated or undercooked meat (especially poultry products), unpasteurized dairy products and untreated water. It is a type of zoonotic disease where it spreads through feces and mouth. Campylobacter species are widespread among warm-blooded animals, so they are found in food animals such as poultry, cattle, pigs, sheep and ostriches. Therefore, animal samples were used in this study. The most common causes of this infection are Campylobacter jejuni (C.jejuni), Campylobacter coli (C.coli) and Campylobacter fetus (C. fetus). Molecular techniques such as multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) have been optimized to detect these species. Campylobacter fetus was initially divided into two subspecies to reconcile significant epidemiological, clinical, and biochemical differences between the two similar taxa, which were later shown to be highly related at the genomic level. Campylobacter fetus occurs mainly in the intestines of cattle and sheep and can cause spontaneous abortion in both animals.

The Impact of Insecurity on the Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria.
Authors: Moses Ukiyedeikimie Ugo
Published: May 2024

The state of insecurity in Nigeria is a major challenge in the efforts to attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the country. Every region is under one form of security challenge or the other resulting into large scale destruction of lives, property and infrastructure, particularly in the northern part of the country. Consequently, the prevailing insecurity has almost grounded socio-economic activities thereby risking the attainment of the sustainable development goals in the country. This paper takes a critical look at the possibility of attaining the Global Goals in 2030 in the face of mounting security challenges. Secondary sources – books, journals, magazines, newspapers and the internet were the sources of data. For the country to make appreciable progress on the Global Goals, the paper recommends the resolution of the root causes of conflict through effective and honest engagement with disaffected groups and the promotion of national reconciliation. The need to intensify the fight against criminal gangs and the ongoing military efforts against Boko Haran was also recommended.
THE TRANSITION OF TRANSLATION STUDIES FROM TRADITIONAL APPROACHES TO MODERN THEORIES
Authors: Siham Dr. OUALI
Published: May 2024

Translation studies aim to understand and analyze the process of translation. Various approaches have taken translation as a field for research and analysis, such as linguistic approach, sociolinguistic approach, comparative stylistic approach, discourse analysis approach, text linguistics approach and finally interpretive approach which later formed a standalone theory. Generally, the approach refers to a general orientation of studies from the perspective of a specific field (linguistics, semiotics, pragmatics, etc.). Translation studies, as an independent field of research, were then established based on its own theories, such as: interpretive theory, action theory, skopos theory, game theory and poly-system theory. These theories are conceptual frameworks specifically developed to describe, explain, or model the translated text or the translation process. In this paper, we aim to highlight these approaches and theories through the opinions of some translation theorists and scholars

При мониторинге состояния конструкции получены характеристики трещины при сдвиге бетонных элементов: обнаружение, локализация и количественная оценка повреждения при сдвиге. В настоящей статье количественная оценка рассматривается путем предложения метода для получения средней ширины трещины сдвига в бетонных балках. Метод основан на данных, полученных при наклеивании РВОД на бетонную поверхность. Дан пример РВОД и расчет определения деформаций. Распределенные волоконно-оптические датчики – это тип сенсорной технологии, которая использует оптическое волокно в качестве чувствительной среды для обнаружения и измерения различных физических параметров, таких как температура, деформация и давление. Оптический рефлектометр с обратным рассеянием (OBR) – это широко используемый метод опроса ВОД, который обеспечивает измерение с высоким разрешением на больших расстояниях. Принцип, лежащий в основе РВОД, основан на том факте, что оптическое волокно, изготовленное из стекла или пластика, может передавать свет на большие расстояния с очень небольшим затуханием. Свет, проходящий по волокну, взаимодействует с окружающей средой, вызывая изменения в его оптических свойствах, таких как показатель преломления, который можно измерить и соотнести с физическими параметрами.

Steel shipwrecks buried along the Belgian and French North Sea coast have proven to show very low corrosion rates due to concretion. This work aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the formed concretion layers and gain a more complete understanding of the gradual deposition processes in the North Sea. Detailed microstructural characterization by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction of two different specimens demonstrates that the concretion includes a complex structure of multiple layers. Closest to the metal surface, a layer of 100% akaganeite is found. It forms from corrosion products exhibiting high Cl− ions concentrations at the metal surface. Next, other iron oxides, such as goethite, lepidocrocite, and magnetite, are observed. Then, layers that both contain corrosion products and compounds from the environment are present. These layers contain calcium carbonates (calcite and aragonite), calcium sulfate (gypsum), and quartz (sand). Moreover, due to a displacement of calcium by iron, an additional phase is formed consisting out of hard, dense siderite mixed into calcite. Finally, the surface of the concretion is covered by a biofilm.
Development of a Method for Determining the Residual Life of Structural Elements with Cracks Under the Action of Load and Corrosive Environment, as well as the Application of Corrosion Inhibitors to Enhance It
Authors: Andreykiv O. , Dolinska I. , Nastasiak S. , Zviahin N.
Published: May 2024

A developed method for determining the lifespan of structural elements with large-scale cracks of complex geometry under the influence of long-term static loads and corrosive environments. The method is based on an appropriate computational model, which relies on the first law of thermodynamics for the elementary act of local failure (crack propagation), some fundamental principles of physical chemistry, as well as the basic principles of fracture mechanics. The advantages of this method over existing ones are substantiated. The application of the method is demonstrated through examples involving the determination of the residual life of such structural elements as torsion and a pipe with small cracks made of 45KhN2MFA steel (tempered at 470 K and 725 K) under the influence of long-term static loading and distilled water. As the cracks are considered small, we have constructed a computational model in terms of deformation parameters, including a well-known counterpart in fracture mechanics, crack opening at the crack tip δt. At the same time, based on available experimental data from the literature, it is substantiated that the application of existing linear fracture mechanics methods in stress intensity factors KI for implementing the mentioned problems, the application of existing linear fracture mechanics methods is inappropriate. To determine the residual life of structural elements using this method, it is necessary to have kinetic diagrams in coordinates of the growth rate of small cracks and the crack opening at the crack tip, which means V ∼ δt. These diagrams are constructed here using the provided formulas for determining δt and diagrams are constructed here using the provided formulas and known experimental data for 45KhN2MFA steel under the influence of distilled water and static tension. Using the mentioned method, the residual lifespans of the torsion and the pipe were calculated under the influence of long-term static loading and distilled water. Additionally, the effectiveness of water solutions of well-known inorganic corrosion inhibitors on the residual lifespan of the mentioned structural elements was verified through calculations. It was found that the residual lifespan effectively characterizes the performance of corrosion inhibitors, which can be applied in engineering practice.
Exploration of the Association Between Sucking Measures and Ability to Attain Independent Oral Feeds Among Infants Who Are Born Preterm
Authors: Fucile Sandra , Hennessey Grace , Meghji Suraya , Dow Kimberly
Published: May 2024

Importance: Infants who are born preterm often experience difficulty transitioning from full tube to independent oral feeds, which often prolongs their hospital stay. No clinical measures associated with attainment of independent oral feeds are currently available.

Objective: To identify specific nutritive sucking measures associated with time to attainment of independent oral feeds among infants who are born preterm.

Design: An observational cohort pilot study was undertaken.

Setting: A Level 2 to Level 3 neonatal intensive care unit.

Participants: Fourteen infants (7 male, 7 female) born at or less than 34 wk gestation were enrolled.

Outcomes and Measures: The monitored suck measures included average suck strength (millimeters of mercury), average sucking burst duration (seconds), average suck count (number of sucks), and average pause duration (seconds). Time to independent oral feeds (days) and baseline characteristics were also monitored. The nutritive sucking measures were recorded once, during the first 5 min of an oral feed, when infants were taking an average of three to four oral feeds per day using a nipple monitoring device.

Results: An inverse relation was found among average suck burst duration (p = .04), gestational age (p = .03), and days to attainment of independent oral feeds.

Conclusions and Relevance: Study results suggest that average sucking burst duration, during the first 5 min of an oral feed, is associated with time to attain independent oral feeds.

Plain-Language Summary: Sucking burst duration is a simple measure that may be used clinically to identify early on infants who may have trouble transitioning from full tube to independent oral feedings. The results of this study suggest that a suck burst duration in the first 5 min of an oral feeding is inversely associated with the length of time to achieve independent oral feeding. The results highlight the importance of considering an infant’s nutritive sucking ability when evaluating their potential to achieve independent oral feedings.
Norbert Elias, uma Teoria mais Além do Indivíduo e da Sociedade
Authors: Costa Andre Oliveira
Published: May 2024

Norbert Elias opõe-se fortemente aos pensamentos que estabelecem barreiras intransponíveis entre os termos antitéticos, elementos cujas existências seriam separadas umas das outras, como se fossem entidades autônomas e independentes. Seu projeto de uma teoria social é superar a oposição excludente que sustenta que as coisas dependem ou do indivíduo ou da sociedade. Na perspectiva de Norbert Elias, o que acontece é uma imbricação na qual os dois elementos se influenciam mutuamente, cada um produzindo transformações no outro. De acordo com sua sociologia figuracional, o processo de formação da autocoerção do indivíduo, ao mesmo tempo que direciona suas ações e seus desejos, também determina o modo como a sociedade se organiza. O indivíduo, por sua vez, não se transforma passivamente, mas se molda conforme as estruturas da sociedade.
FACTORS INFLUENCING MANAGEMENT OF ACUTE RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS AMONG CHILDREN BELOW FIVE YEARS AT KIRA HEALTH CENTRE IV, WAKISO DISTRICT. A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY.
Authors: NOMUJUNI DOCUS , KAYANGA HERBERT
Published: May 2024

Introduction
In Uganda, inappropriately managed ARI has remained the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children under the age of five years accounting for about 9% of the ARI prevalence with 81.3% of cases occurring in urban areas. The purpose of the study was to determine factors influencing the management of acute respiratory infection among children below five years at Kiira Health Center IV, Wakiso District. 
 Methodology
A descriptive cross-sectional study was done at the Kiira Health Centre IV in March 2023, among 30 randomly selected carers using self-administered structured questionnaires.
 Results
The study showed significant maternal factors where 18(60%) were housewives, 19(63.3%) had more than 10 residents in households, and 16(53.3%) knew herbs as treatment measures that could be used to treat flu and cough. In the community factors, 17(56.7%)  isolated children with respiratory infections, and 21(70%) regarded respiratory infections in children to be serious illnesses requiring medical help. However, 27(90%) recommended the use of herbs. Health facility-related factors were associated with long distances covered by the mothers 15(50%) which had cost implications.

La tutoría virtual en la formación de profesionales de la educación durante la pandemia
Authors: Chan Chi Gladis Ivette , Rodríguez Pech Juanita , Zaldívar Acosta Marisa
Published: May 2024

La pandemia provocada por la COVID-19 originó el traslado de los servicios de tutoría a la modalidad virtual, modificando la función del profesor-tutor (hombre o mujer) con el propósito de continuar brindando acompañamiento al estudiantado. El presente estudio analiza la importancia de la función tutorial en la modalidad virtual en tiempos de pandemia desde la perspectiva del alumnado de un posgrado de formación de profesionales de la educación. La investigación fue de corte cualitativo y de diseño fenomenológico. Los datos se analizaron a partir de la técnica de análisis de contenido y se establecieron cinco ejes de análisis: 1) Funciones; 2) Fortalezas del profesor-tutor; 3) Condiciones que apoyan la acción tutorial; 4) Áreas de atención; y 5) Aspectos de mejora. Los resultados mostraron que el profesor-tutor desempeñó funciones de acompañamiento y asesoría; que los saberes, las habilidades, la experiencia profesional y de investigación, el compromiso, la empatía y las actitudes positivas fueron fortalezas que les permitieron crear las condiciones para atender a las diferentes áreas del estudiantado; y, finalmente, que los tiempos de respuesta a los mensajes del correo electrónico debían agilizarse, así como la necesidad de destinar mayor tiempo a la atención estudiantil según los aspectos que se abordan. Se concluye que la tutoría en modalidad virtual empleada durante la pandemia brindó continuidad al proceso tutorial como parte de la formación y motivó a los educandos a seguir con sus estudios a pesar de la incertidumbre y los obstáculos a los que se enfrentaron, de ahí la importancia de diseñar programas de intervención para fortalecer la dimensión personal de los tutores y brindar herramientas para la acción tutorial.

Shifting the paradigm: a critical review of educational approaches for fostering learner wellbeing
Authors: Kiptiony Gladys Jarobon
Published: May 2024

This critical review explores how contemporary education is undergoing a paradigm shift by integrating learner wellbeing as a core objective. The review delves into the potential shortcomings of traditional, exam-driven educational approaches, which can inadvertently contribute to stress, anxiety, and a sense of alienation among learners. Studies have shown positive correlations between SEL programs and improvements in student mental health, academic performance, and social skills. Mindfulness interventions have also demonstrated promising results in reducing stress and anxiety while promoting emotional resilience and focus among learners. On the other hand, student-centred pedagogies have been linked to increased student engagement, motivation, and self-efficacy. However, the review acknowledges that challenges remain in fully integrating wellbeing into educational practices. Teacher training and professional development are crucial for successfully implementing these approaches. Additionally, ensuring consistency and alignment between wellbeing initiatives at the classroom level and broader school policies remains a concern. Furthermore, standardized testing and high-stakes assessments can continue to create pressure and anxiety, potentially undermining efforts to foster wellbeing. In conclusion, this critical review highlights the growing recognition of learner wellbeing as a core educational objective. By exploring various theoretical frameworks, the limitations of traditional approaches, and the potential of emerging practices, the review underscores the need for a paradigm shift in education. Ultimately, integrating wellbeing into the educational experience has the potential to nurture not only academically successful individuals but also well-rounded, resilient, and thriving learners.
A sexualidade na Geografia Agrária: desafios de um fenômeno transversal
Authors: Moreira Tiago Rodrigues , Marandola Jr. Eduardo
Published: May 2024

Os estudos de gênero e de sexualidade se consolidaram no âmbito da Geografia brasileira nos últimos 20 anos, a partir do trabalho de diferentes pesquisadoras e pesquisadores. Esta consolidação, como campo, passa a se espraiar por outros ramos da disciplina, em alguns casos com mais fluência e, em outros, com mais dificuldade. Este talvez seja o caso da Geografia Agrária, na qual podemos identificar um conjunto também significativo de estudos de gênero, o mesmo não podendo se dizer de estudos que tematizam a sexualidade. Este artigo busca problematizar os desafios da Geografia Agrária de trabalhar a sexualidade, no contexto das múltiplas ruralidades, das relações campo-cidade e da homonormatividade, que contribui para uma perspectiva que associa a homossexualidade ao sistema urbano-metropolitano, resultando na concentração de pesquisas nestes espaços em detrimento dos processos em áreas e modos de vida rurais.

Published: May 2024

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan penerapan manajemen risiko pembiayaan di BMT UGT Sidogiri cabang Tanjung Priok Jakarta dengan meninjau tiga aspek penting yakni SOP pembiayaan yang diterapkan, pola penagihan yang dilakukan dan sistem pengawasan dan pembinaan yang digunakan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif yang mengambil model studi kasus pada satu BMT tertentu yakni BMT UGT Sidogiri Jakarta. Pengunaan metode tersebut sangat relevan bagi penulisan tesis ini karena dapat menjelaskan secara komprehensif apa yang menjadi fokus dari penelitian ini yaitu penerapan manajemen risiko pembiayaan pada suatu BMT.  Temuan dari penelitian ini adalah manajemen risiko pembiayaan yang diimplementasikan di BMT UGT Sidogiri Jakarta lebih ditekankan pada proses identifikasi risiko yang meliputi aspek penerapan SOP (standart operational procedur) pembiayaan yang cukup ketat ketimbang aspek penagihan, pengawasan dan pembinaan dengan menggunakan analisis 5C yakni unsur character, capacity, capital, collateral dan condition of economy ketika akan memberikan pembiayaan kepada anggota. Hal itu terlihat dengan adanya prosedur yang diterapkan yang berbeda dengan BMT lain yakni keharusan adanya saksi yang tidak dapat diwakili dan kepemilikan SIM (Sertifikat Izin Mengakad) yang dikeluarkan oleh lembaga internal BMT UGT Sidogiri bagi kepala cabang yang akan melakukan pemberian layanan pembiayaan kepada anggota.

DPR Blok A No. 178, Kenanga, Cipondoh, Tangerang.

Jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif lapangan. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Metode analisis data yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini adalah dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif kualitatif. Temuan hasil dari penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa penerapan Pajak Pertambahan yang dilakukan oleh PT. Chenindo Trans Gemilang pada jasa sewa forklift telah sesuai dengan ketentuan pemerintah. Adapun Pajak Pertambahan Nilai yang dibebankan kepada perusahaan Pengusaha Kena Pajak yang diterapkan telah sesuai dengan prinsip ekonomi Islam, karena perusahaan yang telah menjadi Pengusaha Kena Pajak telah mampu dan wajib membayar pajak sesuai dengan peraturan negara. Sedangkan, Pajak Pertambahan Nilai yang dibebankan kepada perorangan belum sesuai dengan prinsip ekonomi Islam karena belum mencerminkan nilai keadilan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa dengan adanya penerapan Pajak Pertambahan Nilai dapat membantu perekonomian negara apabila kas negara tidak mencukupi. Namun Pajak Pertambahan Nilai harus diterapkan secara adil dan sesuai dengan prinsip ekonomi Islam. Pajak Pertambahan Nilai yang dibebankan kepada perusahaan Pengusaha Kena Pajak telah sesuai dengan prinsip ekonomi Islam, sedangkan Pajak Pertambahan Nilai yang dibebankan kepada orang pribadi atau perorangan belum sesuai dengan prinsip ekonomi Islam.

Published: May 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan kasus sengketa akad Mudharabah Muqayyadah yang terjadi antara Bank Syariah Mandiri, Dana Pensiun Angkasa Pura II dan PT. Sari Indo Prima di Badan Arbitrase Syariah Nasional (BASYARNAS). Pada dasarnya suatu lembaga keuangan dalam menyalurkan pemberian kredit pada produk pembiayaan wajib menggunakan prudential banking principles atau prinsip kehati-hatian. Dalam kasus ini, produk pembiayaan yang diberikan oleh perbankan syariah menggunakan akad mudharabah muqayyadah. Penelitian ini bersifat empiris dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif-kualitatif, adapun data yang diperoleh dengan menggunakan teknik library research dan kepustakaan kemudian dianalisis menggunakan teknik deskriptif analisis dengan menggunakan pendekatan normatif. Berdasarkan kasus dalam penelitian ini, menunjukkan bahwa dalam penyelesaian sengketa kontrak akad Mudharabah Muqayyadah antara Bank Syariah Mandiri, Dana Pensiun Angkasa Pura II dan PT. Sari Indo Prima telah diselesaikan di BASYARNAS. Atas putusan tersebut, prinsip kehati-hatian pada prosedur pengajuan dan penerapan pembiayaan pada akad mudharabah muqayyadah, dinilai tidak diterapkan oleh Bank Syariah Mandiri sehingga menimbulkan akibat hukum yaitu persengketaan. Dalam pelaksanaan pembiayaan mudharabah muqayadah tersebut, Bank Syariah Mandiri selaku penghubung pada penerapannya tidak melaksakan prudential banking principles.
