The Health and Functional Age Trend Self-assessment of the Older Workers and Retirees in Ukraine from Online Data Human Health Passport in COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Tomarevska Olena , Poliakov Oleksandr
Published: November 2023

For a general health assessment of the workers in organized industries, and unorganized groups of the unemployed and retirees, systematic online health monitoring has been used. Health monitoring includes a scale assessment of functional tests. The actual state of population health is still not included in the registers of National Statistics of Ukraine for example workers, pensioners and unemployment. The purpose of the study was systemic online health monitoring, to assess the impact of professional, demographic, and socio-economic factors in the Covid-19 pandemic condition and the limited capacity of the health care system in Ukraine.
Methods: The study used the intrinsic capacity assessment scales, the five-question scale to detect muscle dysfunction in older persons, as well as some questions regarding residual performance, psychophysiological methods, and characteristics of the functional age. The questionnaire Human Health Passport 1.1 includes 70 questions; 21 of them were assessed by 1 point for positive answer and zero for negative case. The screening was carried out online on social media to Internet users aged 31 to 90. In the study 377 respondents of which 83.83% were employees.
The Human Health Passport screening showed reliability (Cronbach alfa = 0.737), and correlation relationships of the main estimated indicators are significant. So, 54% of respondents do need health care under a physician’s supervision. The 39% of respondents need should convey the proper individual schedule of workout and labour hours, as well as physical activity and breathing exercises because only 7% of respondents are healthy. Correlation analysis of the scale results showed a significant relationship between age, with static balancing, falls during the last 6 months, and the ability to 5 times sit to stand test within 14 seconds. The optimal management of Human Health Passport screening helps to reduce the harmful influence on the environment, and transport expenses for doctor visits and saves the doctor's time for patient examination and prevention of the exposure and the spread of COVID-19.
The screening showed the existing reserves of training for health promotion and, the overstrain of the functional systems of the body in the working population - 76%—by the purpose.

Published: November 2023

Driver fatigue and lethargy are widely acknowledged as significant contributors to the occurrence of vehicular accidents. During the preceding decade, there were a total of 66,000 motor vehicle accidents, resulting in 22,952 fatalities and 79,545 injuries. It is of the utmost importance to implement measures designed to notify drivers in order to prevent accidents and save lives. The purpose of this research was to develop and implement a Driving Drowsiness Detection System (DDDS) in order to increase road safety. The system employs eye and mouth movements as indicators in order to detect fatigue and reduce the likelihood of accidents. Using a high-resolution camera and Deep Cascaded Convolutional Neural Networks (DCCNN) to accomplish accurate drowsiness detection was the objective of this research. This study's methodology entails the analysis of driver behavior, with a particular emphasis on eye movements captured by a high-resolution camera. The facial region was identified using landmarks extracted from the Dlib toolset, and the "Eyes Aspect Ratio" metric was developed to quantify the level of fatigue. Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCCNN) output triggers an alarm on the dashboard of the graphical user interface (GUI). The study utilized an image with 450x320 pixels and a frame rate of 60 frames per second. In ideal lighting conditions, drowsy detection accuracy exceeded 99.9%, while in less than ideal lighting conditions, it surpassed 99.8%. Compared to previous research, the present study demonstrated a higher level of accuracy in detecting drowsiness.

Baby corn is very nutritious crop and the current demand is increasing in Bangladesh, but lacking of promising and high yielding variety. Hence, the study was conducted during the winter season of 2015-16 to evaluate twenty baby corn genotypes on the basis of quality, yield and yield contributing traits, and to find out the suitable genotype for yield maximization and quality improvement of baby corn through proper agronomic management. Twenty baby corn genotypes were planted in a randomized complete block design with three replications. As per result, the Baby Star genotype got highest cob yield with husk (11.9 t ha-1) and cob yield without husk (3.02 t ha-1) followed by Dream Sweet 3 and MSC 001. Maximum protein (11.03%) and starch content (57.03%) were recorded in Baby Star. The most total soluble solid (9.51%) was recorded in Dream Sweet-3 genotype. Baby star genotype followed by Dream Sweet 3 and MSC 001 were better than other genotypes in terms of yield attributes. Grouping of genotypes through multivariate (cluster) analysis on yield, yield attributes and quality parameters indicated that the cluster II showed higher performance among other clusters that means Baby Star, Dream Sweet-3 and MSC No.001 were better among twenty genotypes. Results suggest that Baby star followed by Dream Sweet-3 and MSC No.001 genotype can be recommended as potential baby corn genotypes for cultivation in Bangladesh and release as a variety. Some genotypes with specific features might be potential used in genetic resources for the future improvement of breeding program useful for baby corn expansion.

Effect of cigarette smoking on the maintenance of reduction after treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation with hook plate fixation
Authors: Choi Jee-Hoon , Chun Yong-Min , Yoon Tae-Hwan
Published: November 2023

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the association between smoking and clinical outcomes of hook plate fixation for acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries.Methods: This study retrospectively investigated 82 patients who underwent hook plate fixation for acute AC joint dislocation between March 2014 to June 2022. The patients were grouped by smoking status, with 49 in group N (nonsmokers) and 33 in group S (smokers). Functional scores and active range of motion were compared among the groups at the 1-year follow-up. Coracoclavicular distance (CCD) was measured, and difference with the uninjured side was compared at initial injury and 6 months after implant removal.Results: No significant differences were observed between the two groups in demographic factors such as age and sex, as well as parameters related to initial injury status, which included time from injury to surgery, the preoperative CCD difference value, and the Rockwood classification. However, the postoperative CCD difference was significantly higher in group S (3.1±2.6 mm) compared to group N (1.7±2.4 mm). Multivariate regression analysis indicated that smoking and the preoperative CCD difference independently contributed to an increase in the postoperative CCD difference. Despite the radiographic differences, the postoperative clinical outcome scores and active range of motion measurements were comparable between the groups.Conclusions: Smoking had a detrimental impact on ligament healing after hook plate fixation for acute AC joint dislocations. This finding emphasizes the importance of smoking cessation to optimize reduction maintenance after AC joint injury.Level of evidence: III.

Published: November 2023

The inclusion of climate change education in the educational system has been suggested at conferences and meetings of global leaders. Most nations worldwide are attempting to include climate change education in their curricula. However, in South Africa, there seem to be little efforts that are focusing on supporting the implementation of climate change education at the school level. This paper investigated the perspectives of secondary school principals on their support for climate change education. This case study was based on a qualitative research method and four principals were purposively selected from the twenty secondary schools which participated in the climate change education project. One-on-one semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The Deming Cycle model was used as the theoretical lenses of the study. It emerged from the data that though, through different strategies, all principals were using motivation as a strategy to support the implementation of climate change education in their schools. It can be concluded from this study that although principals used divergent strategies to support the implementation of climate change education in their schools and they were serious about climate change, a component that was key to sustainable schools. It is therefore recommended that clear guidelines on principals’ support for the implementation of climate change education in schools which among other things clarify the principals’ roles be developed by the Department of Basic Education.

Authors: Muhardinata Muhardinata , Luthfi Ahmad , Ramadhani Erika
Published: November 2023

Resilient File Sistem (ReFS) dan New Technology File System (NTFS) memiliki informasi metadata yang berbeda, sehingga membuat proses pemulihan data yang telah dihapus secara permanen menjadi sulit. Ini disebabkan oleh fakta bahwa alat analisis forensik yang umum digunakan bergantung pada tabel master file sistem yang tidak dapat dibaca pada volume ReFS. Perbedaan dalam metadata ini juga memengaruhi fitur TRIM pada Solid State Drive (SSD). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh Teknik Disk Carving pada SSD dengan volume ReFS dan NTFS. Kami menggunakan metode Forensika Langsung yang mengikuti Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) 27037:2014. Metode ini dipilih karena memungkinkan kami untuk mengambil lebih banyak data dengan menggunakan alat seperti FTKImager. Kami mengumpulkan 34 sampel data dari volume ReFS dan 34 sampel data dari volume NTFS pada SSD dengan TRIM dinonaktifkan dan diaktifkan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa data yang berhasil dipulihkan pada SSD dengan TRIM aktif adalah sekitar 9% pada volume NTFS, sementara pada volume ReFS data yang berhasil dipulihkan adalah 0%. Namun, pada SSD dengan TRIM dinonaktifkan semua data berhasil dipulihkan pada volume NTFS, sementara pada volume ReFS sekitar 74% data berhasil dipulihkan. Kesimpulannya setelah penelitian ini, data pada sistem file ReFS dengan TRIM dinonaktifkan dapat dibaca kembali melalui teknik disk carving. Sistem file juga memengaruhi SSD dengan fitur TRIM yang diaktifkan. Setelah pemulihan data pada volume ReFS dengan TRIM aktif, data akan muncul dalam bentuk folder tanpa nilai HASH, sementara pada volume NTFS dengan TRIM aktif, data tetap utuh tetapi sebagian besar memiliki nilai kunci HASH yang berbeda dari file aslinya.

EXPANSION OF SCOPE OF IMPARTIALITY OF NOTARY IN DOMAIN OF PUBLIC LAW
Authors: Knežić-Popović Dragana
Published: November 2023

The paper analyzes the revision of the role of notaries in public law that in a new way is lighting impartiality as one of the basic features of notary profession. To the new reconstruction of notarial activities could be reached only with overcoming the classical triple state power sharing and the expansion of the idea of “new authorities”. Therefore, these impartiality of notaries could come through, first, by analyzing the spread of the principle of separation of powers. These considerations have led, then, to the independent regulatory bodies to which the public administration, as entities outside its organizational structure, transmits more public authorities. By analyzing the characteristics and functions of these bodies doctrine has identified a specific function that they were given, the function of impartial guarantees, which provides protection of private and collective interests and rights. To the similar findings came jurisprudence in relation to the notaries as a public service, which shows that it can allocate an entire complex of activities that precede the drafting of notarial act and that could be defend as an adjustment to the will of the parties to the rules of the legal system. In this new reconstructed notary role the impartiality appears in a completely new dimension: impartiality arises as a rule of action, not only when he participates in the processing of cases in which the parties wish to define and achieve some private interests, but also, and above all, that impartially guarantees to third parties, and to the state that such arrangement does not oppose of other protected interests. In this way reveals that the obligations of the notary’s impartiality does not stop at the borders of private law, thus its scope becomes much wider.
FIFTEEN YEARS AFTER BANKOVIĆ: RIGHT TO LIFE AND THE EXTRATERRITORIALL CASE
Authors: Radovanović Slobodan
Published: November 2023

The end of last year had marked a ffteen year anniversary from the decision of the ECHR in the famous Banković case. In the mentioned case the Court had declared inadmisible the application related with human Right’s violations connected with the NATO bombing of the RTS (Serbian State TV building) in 1999. This decision, which was based on a very restrictive approach to Article 1 of the Convention and the ruling on the Court’s jurisdiction in the mentioned case, has had a profound inﬂuence on the latter case law. The idea behind this article is, by elaborating on the development and evolution of legal regime connected with Article 1 application in the extra teritorial group of cases – where the question of Right to life is being put forward in connection with the use of military force outside the Council of Europe’s legal space, to conduct a critical review on some of the problems in this section of the Court’s case law.
ISTOPOLNI BRAK – KAKO JE SVE POČELO U SAD
Authors: Nikolić Oliver P.
Published: November 2023

Istopolni brak je relativno nova institucija u porodičnom pravu i pravno je priznata početkom XXI veka, tačnije od 2001. godine. Relativno mali broj država ju je do sada prihvatio, što i ne iznenađuje s obzirom na mukotrpan razvoj ove institucije u prošlosti.

Ovaj rad je fokusiran na istorijske početke istopolnog braka, od nekih nepotvrđenih naznaka njegovog postojanja još u Antičkoj Grčkoj i Rimu, pa do aktivne borbe na njegovom priznanju, u drugoj polovini XX veka, isključivo u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. Ne iznenađuje činjenica što se pokret za legalizovanje istopolnog braka javio baš u SAD, jer mnogi smatraju SAD za demokratsku i pravnu zemlju, ali ujedno veoma tradicionalnu, patrijarhalnu, sa velikim brojem vernika. Jasno je da su najžešći protivnici istopolnog braka većina crkava i verskih zajednica i političke partije i grupe koje teže tradicionalizmu i patrijarhalnim vrednostima.

U radu su prikazani najpoznatiji slučajevi iz sudske prakse, počev od Baker v. Nelson, preko Loving v. Virginia, Baehr v. Miike, Baker v. Vermont, nakon koga je ustanovljeno prelazno rešenje u vidu građanskih zajednica, pa do Goodridge v. Dept. of Public Health, kada je pravno usvojen istopolni brak u državi Masačusets, i United States v. Windsor, kojim je faktički ukinut Zakon o zaštiti braka. Slučaj Obergefell v. Hodges predstavlja pravnu pobedu pobornika istopolnog braka jer je Vrhovni sud SAD 2014. godine naložio svim državama da priznaju ovu instituciju.

Published: November 2023

: During pregnancy, SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) can be complicated, and the mother and neonate's prognosis is not fully documented. We are presenting the case of a 33-week pregnant patient with confirmed COVID-19 who developed encephalopathy. During the disease and hospitalization in a critical care setting, an emergency C-section was performed with general anesthesia in the ICU due to acidosis and maternal-fetal instability. The baby boy was delivered with an APGAR score of 8, showing no obvious anomalies, and was subsequently intubated. Eight days later, brain imaging revealed posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. The mother received treatment and was discharged without further complications. At the final follow-up six months after discharge, the patient's MRI showed laminar necrosis in the two occipitoparietal cortex areas. However, she remained symptom-free and did not report any complications. We also discussed the possible reasons for these findings and their relationship to the infection.

By focusing on this sector, Kenya aims to achieve its vision of industrialization by 2030, creating job opportunities and reducing poverty rates. Manufacturing is one of the Big Four Agendas for the government to improve the nation economically. Employee skills are crucial for achieving competitive advantage and producing quality products, as outlined in SDG 9. However, many manufacturing industries in Kenya lack these skills, affecting their performance. This study aimed to assess the influence of employee skills on the performance of Bidco Africa manufacturing industries in Kenya, using a descriptive research design and a quantitative research approach. The study included 171 employees from five departments in Thika, selected through stratified sampling and simple random sampling. The findings suggest that employee skills significantly influence the performance of the manufacturing industry. These findings will help stakeholders in the industry formulate and implement strategies to boost business performance. The study recommends regular skill updates to make employees adaptable and flexible in this dynamic environment. Keywords: Employee, Skills, Performance, Manufacturing and Industry

Factors Associated with Adherence to Oral Antidiabetic Drugs among Patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus attending Diabetic Clinic at Jinja Regional Referral Hospital Jinja District
Authors:   Faculty of Clinical Medicine and Dentistry Kampala International University Western Campus Uganda., Mahomedi Tendai
Published: November 2023

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic illness that causes excessive blood sugar levels as a result of either impaired pancreatic insulin production, insulin resistance, or both. People with diabetes mellitus die prematurely, and DM is a global burden. Adherence to drug regimens is essential in the management of diabetes mellitus, in addition to lifestyle changes. However, patients with diabetes are more likely not to take their medications as prescribed, and poor medication compliance jeopardizes patient safety and treatment efficacy, increasing mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to determine oral diabetes medication adherence and its associated factors among type two diabetes patients (T2DM) at Jinja Regional Referral Hospital. An institutional-based cross-sectional study of 136 T2DM patients was undertaken at Jinja Regional Referral Hospital in Jinja district. A convenience sampling technique was used to recruit participants, and the research was carried out from April 2022 to October 2022. The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale was used to assess medication adherence. STATA version 15.1 was used to analyze the data. To discover independent determinants of T2DM adherence, logistic regressions were used. To declare statistical significance, a P-value of less than 0.05 was employed. This study enrolled 136 type 2 diabetes patients, with a response rate of 100%. Overall, 58.33% of T2DM patients showed good medication adherence. T2DM patients who took both oraland injectable anti-diabetic medications (AOR = 1.98, 95% CI: 1.16-3.39), received the prescribedanti-diabetic medication from the hospital (AOR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.32-0.80), had their own glucometer at home (AOR = 0.30, 95% CI: 0.16-0.54), and had good diabetes-related knowledgewere found to be more adherent to oral antidiabetic medication. At Jinja Regional Referral Hospital, there is a low prevalence of oral anti-diabetic drug adherence among patients with T2DM. Significant independent predictors of anti-diabetic treatment adherence included the type of medication that T2DM patients were taking, the ability of patients to receive their prescriptions from the hospital, having a glucometer at home for glucose monitoring, and having sound knowledge of diabetes. Patients should therefore receive more education on the importance of medication adherence, and as well be encouraged to purchase personal glucometers. Keywords: Diabetes Mellitus, Blood sugar levels, Insulin, Medication adherence, Oral antidiabetic.
Cyberspace, Cluetrain, Digitalcharta: Die Botschaft der Internet-Programmschriften

Programmatische Schriften begleiten die Verbreitung des World Wide Webs seit den Neunzigerjahren. Auf die Ausrufung des unabhängigen „Cyberspace” folgte die Transformation der Märkte in „Gespräche“. Die Digitalcharta proklamiert neue Grundrechte aus demokratischer Sorge, bleibt darin aber ein selbst verabreichtes politisches Beruhigungsmittel, so Sebastian Gießmann.
