La spedizione dei Mille e la fine del Regno delle Due Sicilie nei dispacci dei diplomatici americani a Napoli, 1850-1861
Authors: Cicciò Marco
Published: September 2024

Seguendo una politica di espansione nel Mediterraneo, gli Stati Uniti avevano sviluppato legami diplomatici e commerciali con il Regno di Napoli. L’articolo si occupa del periodo compreso tra la restaurazione post-1848-49 e la fine del Regno delle due Sicilie nel 1861 attraverso le comunicazioni inviate al Dipartimento di Stato dai rappresentanti degli Stati Uniti a Napoli. L’unificazione italiana  suscitò interesse nel governo e nell’opinione pubblica americani. I diplomatici americani vissero il conflitto tra la necessità di rispettare la neutralità negli affari interni delle altre nazioni, il dovere di proteggere i connazionali e difendere gli interessi del proprio paese e il personale discredito e l’antipatia nei confronti dei governi dispotici e illiberali che li spinse in uno spontaneo coinvolgimento nei fatti della penisola.

Authors: JAN MS , HAYAT B , HUSSAIN S , HUSSAIN SI
Published: September 2024

Integrating digital health technologies in public health systems has shown potential to enhance healthcare delivery, particularly in underserved communities. However, the differential impact of varying regional infrastructure and policies remains less explored. Objectives: This study investigates the impact of digital health technologies on improving public health outcomes in underserved communities. Methods: A mixed-methods study was conducted across three major cities in Punjab (Lahore, Faisalabad, and Multan), targeting underserved urban and rural populations. Three hundred healthcare administrators, policymakers, and digital health professionals from public and private healthcare settings participated. Data collection involved structured surveys, in-depth interviews, and focus groups. The geographical analysis assessed the variation in digital health adoption across different cities, factoring in urbanization levels and local infrastructure availability. The statistical analysis of the study variables was done using the SPSS 26 software, where multivariate regression analysis was conducted, and geographical mapping of health outcomes was also done. Results: Studies performed on the feedback revealed critical regional differences. In Lahore, which has an excellent urban setting and governmental policies covering telemedicine, the increase was 65% (p < 0. 01), while in Faisalabad and Multan, where internet facilities are not very strong and facing problems regarding funding, the increase was 50 and 45%, respectively. Reducing chronic disease management hospital readmissions was found to be 35% in Lahore and Faisalabad and 28% in Multan, signifying that digital health infrastructures influence patient outcomes. The administrative strategies, including policy changes, provider training, and other related programs, were found to have made quite a significant contribution, the contribution of which was estimated to be around 70%, the result being the coefficient of changes in the success of the implementation of the digital health notion (r = 0. 74, p < 0. 001). Conclusion: Lahore is also the beneficiary of digital health adoption, while the rural areas in Faisalabad and Multan need more investment in infrastructure and digital health literacy programs to realize comparable benefits.

Decolonization and Democratization in African Countries: The Impact of Liberal Democracy on Political Stability
Authors: Wang Boyan
Published: September 2024

Since the 1990s, the African continent has experienced dramatic changes in the political sphere. Specifically, as mentioned by Samuel Huntington in The Third Wave: Democratization in the Late Twentieth Century, many Sub-Saharan African countries have undergone democratic transitions, marked by reforms from one-party systems or military rule to multiparty systems with regular elections, a process that prominently features characteristics of Western-style liberal democracy. Despite the fact that African countries employing Western-style democracy have made certain progress in political development and social governance, many African countries that have undergone this political transformation exhibit a lack of political stability. As such, this article studies the development of liberal democracy and political stability in Kenya against the backdrop of the third wave of democratization. Through analyzing the historical and socio-economic contexts of African countries, it argues that the winner-take-all logic of the western representative democracy contradicts with the cultural tradition in African countries, which emphasizes social consensus and consultation. Considering the historical problems left since the colonial era, it adds to the difficulty of applying the western democracy in contemporary African countries, and thus results in the incompatibility between the liberal democracy model and the reality of African social contexts. Consequently, it is argued that the democratization process in Africa requires further exploration and more appropriate combination of advanced political institutions and the local contexts.
Research on Diltheys Hermeneutics of Life
Authors: Gong Zhaotong
Published: September 2024

Dilthey propounds human sciences in his critique of traditional metaphysics and natural sciences. The hermeneutics of life, the essential approach in the inquiry of human sciences, focuses on human life to construct the interrelations among lived experience, understanding, and expression. The idea that life is an organism is introduced based on the connection between the individual life and the universal life of general human beings. There are three hierarchical forms of manifestation of life: concepts, judgments, and larger thought-formations, actions, and the expression of lived experience. There is a proximity between the expression of lived experience and the nature of life, of which the expression of lived experience is the most significant manifestation of life in the human sciences. Lived experience has an immediacy that delivers direct and immediate access to reality, whereas understanding is indirect and requires further mediation. Understanding has two forms: the elementary and the higher. Based on the hermeneutics of life, Diltheys human sciences can be approached as a reply to the contemporary cultural crisis.
The Relation Between Natsume Soseki's Chinese Poems and Ancient Chinese Poetry
Authors: Zhang Fang
Published: September 2024

As an outstanding representative of modern Japanese literature, Natsume Soseki has an important position in the history of modern Japanese literature. He is a world-renowned novelist who has written many excellent novels. However, it is far from enough to study Natsume Soseki's literature only from the aspects of novels. Throughout Natsume Soseki's life, he studied Chinese studies since childhood, has great enthusiasm and interest in Chinese literature, and has a high accomplishment in Chinese literature. However, his outstanding ability in Chinese poetry was covered up by his writing ability in novels, which did not get the attention of the academic circle. Natsume Soseki's Chinese poems are in the same vein as Chinese poems, and he draws on and learns from ancient Chinese poems in the aspects of creation techniques and theme emotions. From the perspective of cultural studies, this paper makes an in-depth study of the relationship between Natsume Soseki's Chinese poetry and ancient Chinese poetry by means of comparative study. On the basis of previous studies, this paper expounds Natsume Soseki's Chinese poetry creation and its sinology origin, analyzes and summarizes the Chinese elements in his Chinese poetry works, in order to explore Natsume Soseki's contribution to the cross-communication field of Chinese poetry between China and Japan.
The Impact of Population Aging from the Perspective of New Productive Forces: Empirical Evidence from 30 Provinces in China
Authors: Zhao Xiangru
Published: September 2024

The new quality productive forces are the important means to promote the high quality of Chinese economic development, which is driven by the innovation of science and technology, the layout of new industries and the development of regional links. In the context of China's aging, it is significant to research the influence of the aging population on the NQHP. Based on the data of 30 Chinese provinces between 2010 and 2022, this paper discusses the influence of population aging on NQF in China. The paper found that population aging hurts new quality productivity. The effect of population aging on NQF has the feature of regional heterogeneity, and the biggest negative influence on NQF is the eastern area, and the second is the northeastern area. In the middle and west area, the aging of the population has no negative influence on the new quality productive forces, and it has an obvious positive influence. By means of the intermediary mechanism, we find that the aging population can inhibit the growth of NQF by decreasing the proportion of TPL.

Published: September 2024

Portfolio construction is very critical in the financial markets as it assists investors in achieving maximum returns with minimum risks through diversification. In this paper, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models are employed to predict stock prices and optimize investment portfolios. Historical adjusted closing prices from Yahoo Finance for the period from January 1, 2023, to March 1, 2024, were used to predict the future stock prices of Apple Inc. (AAPL), Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), BlackRock Inc. (BLK), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), and Tesla Inc. (TSLA) using LSTM models. Portfolios were constructed using mean-variance optimization based on these predictions, and Monte Carlo simulations were employed to capture the uncertainty around the estimates. The results are treasured for investors in financial markets as they spotlight the limitations and capability risks of depending totally on gadget learning predictions for portfolio optimization. This emphasizes the want for a greater comprehensive method to investment decision-making that considers more than one factors and methodologies.

Published: September 2024

Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) remain a critical healthcare challenge, contributing to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. SSIs represent the third most common nosocomial infection globally with an incidence of 19-20%, while their prevalence in Pakistan was significantly higher, ranging up to 33.6%. The emergence of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) organisms has worsened this issue. Objective: To determine the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens responsible for SSIs and analyze their antibiotic susceptibility patterns over the past decade. Methods: A systematic review was conducted adhering to PRISMA guidelines. Studies published between 2006 and 2023 were included. Data on the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant organisms associated with SSIs were extracted and analyzed through several databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, Sci-hub and Science Direct) using Boolean logic “AND” and “OR”, and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH Terms) and keywords. A total of 70 articles were retrieved from which 16 articles were considered eligible after applying detailed inclusion/exclusion criteria and removing the duplicates and irrelevant articles. Results: The study identified Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Acinetobacter spp. as predominant MDR pathogens. A significant increase in the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant strains was observed over the study period. Gram-negative bacteria exhibited a higher resistance rate (66.8%) compared to Gram-positive organisms (51.1%). Conclusions: The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens underscores the urgent need for comprehensive infection prevention and control measures to address the burden of SSIs. Targeted interventions, antimicrobial stewardship, and continued surveillance were essential to combat this growing challenge.

Agencification in the EU Energy Sector: A Case Study on Delegation and Margin of Discretion in EU Electricity Market Rule-making
Authors: Viljainen Satu , Huhta Kaisa
Published: September 2024

The number and role of agencies in the EU has grown significantly, a process often referred to in the EU legal scholarship as agencification. The trend has intensified since the Lisbon Treaty, which codified agencies as part of the EU’s institutional machinery. A new type of independent EU agency, endowed with considerable powers, has emerged, especially in the energy sector. This article focuses on the agencification phenomenon in the EU energy sector and, more specifically, the delegation of power and the use of institutional margins of discretion in that context. While agencies have a margin of discretion within which they can make decisions that have general application, this discretion should be limited to scientific and technical questions; questions of a political nature should fall outside that margin. From a practical point of view, the challenge is that the divide between what is technical or scientific and what is political is not always clear. The article argues that the delegated rule-making by Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulator (ACER) in the EU energy sector stretches the boundaries of the Meroni doctrine by subsuming questions that are not solely technical in nature but may involve political discretion as well.
Article: The Neglected Public Interest in Investor-State Dispute Settlement: Environmental and Human Rights Considerations
Authors: Nedeva Stanislava
Published: September 2024

With the rapid expansion of bilateral investment treaties (BITs), investor-state arbitration has paved its way to becoming the most preferred dispute settlement method by investors. However, the investment arbitration system has also attracted ‘backlash’. One reason is the challenge to balance between protection of foreign investors and the recognition of host states’ legitimate public interests. With the current pressures to reform the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) system, there is a pressing need to offer a better balance between investor protection and host states’ sovereign right to regulate, as well as the wider public good such regulatory measures might have, especially in the context of environmental protection and human rights. This article argues for a better symmetry between foreign investor’s treaty-based claims and host states’ environmental and human rights (EHR) claims to acknowledge the public interests – social, economic, welfare, etc. In particular, it advocates for: the strengthened presence of independent experts and amicus curiae, a proportionality approach; and the overarching development of counterclaims as a consideration not only of the host state’s capacity to regulate but also the wider repercussions of such regulations on the public as well as the conduct of foreign investors.

Published: September 2024

Fly ash has gained the widespread attention of researchers in aluminum matrix composite (AMC) production as reinforcement to enhance the properties of AMCs and reduce the production cost. The response evaluation of fly-ash was carried out in this work, in order to explore its influence on the hardness and microstructural properties of Aluminum composite. In this research, aluminum alloy was reinforced with different amounts (10, 20, 30 and 40 wt. %) of fly ash. The alloy, reinforced with fly ash were fabricated by a stir casting method. Afterwords, the Aluminum composites were characterized based on the hardness and microstructural analysis (phase analysis). The results showed that the hardness gave an optimum property of 74.20N/mm2 at 40wt%. This showed that the addition of fly-ash improved the properties of the composites. This result were further confirmed through the microstructural analysis which showed a good interfacial bonding between the reinforcement (fly-ash) and the matrix (Aluminum). This composite can be applied in automobile and construction industries.

Authors: Wang Gui-Bo , Zhang Xue-Feng , Liang Bing , Lei Jie , Xue Jun
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Pediatric abdominal infection is a common but serious disease that requires timely and effective treatment. In surgical treatment, accurate diagnosis and rational application of antibiotics are the keys to improving treatment effects.

AIM

To investigate the effect of broad-spectrum bacterial detection on postoperative antibiotic therapy.

METHODS

A total of 100 children with abdominal infection who received surgical treatment in our hospital from September 2020 to July 2021 were grouped. The observation group collected blood samples upon admission and sent them for broad-spectrum bacterial infection nucleic acid testing, and collected pus or exudate during the operation for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing; the control group only sent bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing during the operation.

RESULTS

White blood cell count, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, 3 days after surgery, showed better postoperative index than the control group (P < 0.05). The hospital stay in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group. The hospitalization cost in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Early detection of broad-spectrum bacterial infection nucleic acids in pediatric abdominal infections can help identify pathogens sooner and guide the appropriate use of antibiotics, improving treatment outcomes and reducing medical costs to some extent.
Sex differences in the association between the muscle quality index and the incidence of depression: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Huang Gui-Ping , Mai Li-Ping , Zheng Zhi-Jie , Wang Xi-Pei , He Guo-Dong
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Depression presents significant challenges to mental health care. Although physical activity is highly beneficial to mental and physical health, relatively few studies have conducted on the relationship between them.

AIM

To investigate the association between muscle quality index (MQI) and incidence of depression.

METHODS

The data used in this cross-sectional study were obtained from the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey, which included information on MQI, depression, and confounding factors. Multivariable logistic regression models were employed, while taking into account the complex multi-stage sampling design. A restricted cubic spline model was utilized to investigate the non-linear relationship between the MQI and depression. Additionally, subgroup analyses were performed to identify influential factors.

RESULTS

The prevalence of depression in this population was 8.44%. With the adjusted model, the MQI was associated with depression in females (odds ratio = 0.68, 95% confidence interval: 0.49-0.95) but not in males (odds ratio = 1.08, 95% confidence interval: 0.77-1.52). Restricted cubic spline adjustment of all covariates showed a significant negative non-linear relationship between depression and the MQI in females. The observed trend indicated an 80% decrease in the risk of depression for each unit increase in MQI, until a value of 2.2. Subsequently, when the MQI exceeded 2.2, the prevalence of depression increased by 20% for every unit increase in the MQI. Subgroup analyses further confirmed that the MQI was negatively associated with depression.

CONCLUSION

The MQI was inversely correlated with depression in females but not males, suggesting that females with a higher MQI might decrease the risk of depression.

The rise of e-commerce and digital payment systems has been accompanied by an increase in financial fraud, especially involving credit cards. Ensuring the detection of fraudulent activities is crucial to protecting users' financial assets and preserving trust in online transactions. This study introduces a novel method for detecting credit card fraud by integrating machine learning (ML) techniques with a genetic algorithm (GA) for feature selection. Feature selection plays a vital role in improving fraud detection models by pinpointing the most relevant features linked to fraudulent transactions. The effectiveness of the proposed method is assessed using a dataset from European cardholders, a widely used benchmark in this research area. In terms of performance, the Isolation Forest Algorithm exhibits slightly higher accuracy compared to the Local Outlier Factor (LOF) Algorithm. Consequently, based on accuracy alone, the Isolation Forest Algorithm is deemed more effective for this specific dataset. Keywords: Credit card fraud detection, Machine learning (ML), E-commerce.

Hydrogen is seen as one of energy vector of the next century. Hydrogen, as a renewable energy source provides a potential form sustainable development particular in transportation sector. The hydrogen driven engine reduces both local as well as global emission. Hydrogen gas is in brown color and form of un-separated hydrogen and oxygen generated by the electrolysis process of water by a unique electrode design. Hydrogen gas was used as a supplementary fuel in a petrol engine with few modifications and without need of storage tanks. As hydrogen, Butanol is also used as fuel in engine. Blending of small proportion of petrol and butanol can be used in petrol engine without modification of engine. Using of butanol with petrol improve performance of engine. As hydrogen gas is used as a supplementary and butanol is blend with petrol, it will enhance the combustion characteristics of petrol engine and improve performance. In this project we are going to analyze the performance characteristics of petrol engine with butanol blends using HHO kit. Key Words: Hydrogen, Four stroke petrol engine, Butanol

Abstract
This research intends to examine the influence of entrepreneurial literacy as well as digital literacy on company success (Study on MSME Assisted by the Cooperative Office in Biringere Village, North Sinjai District, Sinjai Regency). The t-test analysis indicates that the entrepreneurial literacy and digital literacy variables have a significant influence on Business Success, thereby confirming the hypothesis. The F-test results indicating that the independent variables have a significant simultaneous influence on the dependent variable. The correlation coefficient analysis (r) yielded a value of 0.793 or 79.3 percent, suggesting a positive relationship where higher entrepreneurial literacy and digital literacy are associated with greater Business Success. The analysis of the coefficient of determination (R²) indicates that entrepreneurial literacy accounts for 55.5% of the influence on Business Success, while the remaining 44.5% is attributed to other factors. The digital literacy coefficient value is 0.449, or 44.9%, indicating that digital literacy contributes 44.9% to the impact on Business Success, while the remaining 55.1% is impacted by external factors.

Enforcing laws requiring smoke-free areas in different locations is one way the government can lower cigarette consumption and exposure to cigarette smoke. The purpose of this study was, thus, to examine and summarize studies that identified facilitators and barriers to the implementation of a smoke-free area policy in public places. The researchers carried out systematic searches in December 2023 within these specific databases: Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest, Emerald Insight, and EBSCO and included studies on the implementation of smoke-free area policy that were published in English between 2018-2021. Out of the 684 research reports that were found, only 12 were accepted into the scoping study. The findings exhibited several barriers to the implementation of smoke-free area policy, including personal characteristics, the presence of tobacco sellers and smoking aids, lack of enforcement management, lack of support and collaboration from local government, lack of examples of policy implementation by local government, and no smoking signs or smoke-free policy signs. Meanwhile, the facilitating factors encompass fines and penalties, the presence of access to tobacco cessation services, smoke-free policy campaigns, and knowledge and attitudes toward smoke-free area policies. The evidence collected from the review’s findings suggests that there are more barriers than facilitating factors. This indicates that numerous adverse behaviors in the implementation of the smoke-free area policy are still present. The subsequent step following this study is to carry out primary research to thoroughly investigate the execution of the smoke-free area policy in public places.
How China’s Rise as a ‘Civilization State’ Spurs European States to Challenge US Political Dominance

Published: September 2024

This article explores how China’s rise as a ‘civilization state’ encourages some European states to challenge US political dominance. While countries like Russia and Turkey have also employed civilizational populist rhetoric in domestic and foreign policy issues, this article focuses on Xi Jinping’s recent visits to France, Hungary, and Serbia and examines how European leaders like Emmanuel Macron, Viktor Orbán, and Aleksandar Vučić find inspiration in China’s civilizational model. Further research is needed on the growing civilizational competition between these states and the West, particularly in Africa, where China, Russia, and Turkey project all variants (soft, smart, sharp and hard) of power to assert influence and challenge Western dominance in international relations and global politics.

Published: September 2024

Der Artikel gibt einen Einblick darin, wie divers die Beteiligung von Hochschuldidaktiker:innen an Projekten im Bereich
Scholarship of Teaching und Learning
(SoTL) ausfällt. Statt die Sichtweisen durchführender Lehrender in den Blick zu nehmen, fokussiert der Artikel dabei bewusst die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven der Hochschuldidaktiker:innen selbst. Nach einer kurzen Einordnung in den allgemeinen Diskurs um SoTL und die typischen Rollen, die hochschuldidaktisch Tätige in SoTL-Projekten einnehmen, wendet sich die Analyse Perspektiven aus der Hochschuldidaktik in Sachsen zu. In einer sachsenweiten Umfrage wurden Hochschuldidaktiker:innen zu ihren bisherigen Erfahrungen mit SoTL-Projekten befragt. Es zeigt sich, dass SoTL in der sächsischen Hochschuldidaktik weit bekannt ist, jedoch bei der Umsetzung von SoTL-Vorhaben sowohl für Lehrende als auch für hochschuldidaktisch Tätige einige Hürden bestehen. Als ein Lösungsansatz wird abschließend die Idee einer partnerschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit mit Lehrenden vorgestellt.
