Building the social. A query into the societal impact of the Pompeian water supply
Authors: Leander Touati Anne-Marie
Published: September 2024

This study explores the importance of the means of ensuring water supply in the formation of the architectural profile and basic social organization of Pompeii. It sees the city’s domestic water supply, for over two centuries ensured through rainwater-harvesting areas, basins and cisterns situated mainly in and below the many atria, as a stabilizing factor of both cityscape and household. Through the introduction of the city aqueduct in the 1st century AD and the creation of a generous network of public fountains this situation changes and the need to maintain the traditional organization of the “houseful”, comprising enlarged family, slaves and dependents of various kind including shopkeepers, is lessened; the physical proximity between those of different status renegotiated. This development, witnessed in adaptations of the architecture, can be followed through close study of the standing structures in Insula V 1. The hallmarks are the creation of upperfloor living quarters seemingly independent from the life of the large households of the atrium houses, and in parallel the introduction of private water lines from the city aqueduct. The remodelling that resulted in the creation of the double-atrium house of Caecilius Iucundus is focal to the discussion since it offers a coeval chronological fix point in the AD 40s for both remodelling and obtention of piped water. Given that the change in the domestic architecture observed was merely in its embryonic state in AD 79, the tenability to attribute a lower dating than that traditionnaly attributed not just to the private lines, but to the city’s distribution system of public aqueduct water as well, is reasoned. The particularities of Pompeii’s geomorphological situation and political status and how they impacted the discussed change in social relationships are also raised.

Published: September 2024

The arrival of Industry 4.0 transformed and reshaped manufacturing, and the logistics industry is not excluded. As such, there is a need to explore the influence of this latest technological innovation on industries with a focus on logistics providers; this research examines the impact of Industry 4.0 on logistics providers' supply chain management. Using qualitative analysis of secondary sources, this research identifies the key relevance of Industry 4.0 technologies to logistics providers while assessing their adoption and exploring their impact on supply chain performance. Through the series of examination of secondary sources, it was revealed that Industry 4.0 components such as IoT enable real-time tracking, reducing lead times and improving customer service. AI, on the other hand, helps optimize routing and scheduling while also enhancing efficiency. Nevertheless, the industry 4.0 implementation into the logistics provider supply chain is not without challenges; the challenges evidenced through the research include data security, interoperability, and workforce skills. This study recommends investments in technology and skills, data security measures, collaborative organizational structures, agility, change management, and benchmarking to navigate the transformative landscape of Industry 4.0 in logistics supply chain management.
Escherichia coli, an important Uropathogen: Characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital, period January 2020 – December, 2021
Authors: Henri Nara Dhany  , Kade Cintya Pramitasari  , Komang Januartha Putra Pinatih
Published: September 2024

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infections globally, often treated empirically with broad-spectrum antibiotics without prior culture and sensitivity testing. This practice has contributed to the rise in antibiotic resistance. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the primary pathogen in uncomplicated UTIs, accounting for 70–90% of cases. However, other bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, and Enterococcus faecalis are also significant, especially in complicated or healthcare-associated UTIs. This study examines the resistance patterns of E. coli in UTI cases. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from medical records of UTI patients treated at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021. E. coli isolates were identified, and antibiotic sensitivity tests were performed using the VITEK® 2 compact automatic system, with antimicrobial sensitivity and resistance determined according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Result: Analysis of 639 UTI patients revealed that E. coli exhibited high resistance to cefixime (13.3%), ciprofloxacin (23.8%), and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (35.2%). The highest levels of susceptibility were observed with Tigecycline, Meropenem, and Ertapenem, with rates ranging from 99.2% to 99.8%. The demographic data showed a higher incidence of UTIs in female patients (70.9%) compared to males (29.1%), with the majority of cases occurring in adults (94.52%). Additionally, 52.26% of the E. coli isolates were ESBL-producing strains, complicating treatment options. Conclusion: The study underscores the urgent need for judicious antibiotic use, guided by culture and sensitivity testing, to combat the rising threat of antibiotic-resistant UTIs. Tigecycline, Meropenem, and Ertapenem should be prioritized in treatment protocols for multidrug-resistant cases. Continuous surveillance and the development of new antimicrobial agents are essential to address this escalating public health challenge

Authors: Swapnil Madhavrao Mane  , Prakash Anna Aghav  , Swati Dashrath Karad  , Anup Lahanubhau Kharde
Published: September 2024

Background: Postdated pregnancy refers to a pregnancy that extends beyond the expected date of delivery, which is 280 days. When a pregnancy surpasses 42 weeks (more than 294 days), it is termed as post-term pregnancy. Postdated pregnancy is one of the most common obstetric problems associated with increased maternal and foetal morbidity, and mortality. Gestational age is among the most important determinants of perinatal outcomes, but studies have focused more on preterm births (<37 completed gestational weeks) and less on the understanding and prevention of post term births. Objectives: To assess the maternal and fetal outcome of postdated pregnancy. Material and Methods: Present observational descriptive cross sectional study was conducted for the period of 1 year from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024. Total 150 postdated pregnant women included in present study as per predefined after satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: During study period out of total deliveries 110 were postdated deliveries. Out of them 46.36% and 28.18% were of 21-25 years and 26-30 years of age respectively. The mean age of all participants was 25.51 ± 4.58 years. A statistically significant association was found between the gestational age of postdated women and their mode of delivery. Out of 110 postdated women, 68.18% and 31.81% had vaginal and caesarean deliveries, respectively. Conclusion: Adverse maternal and fetal outcomes of post-dated pregnancy should be anticipated and counseling of women at risk of post-term pregnancy and timely management for its prevention is recommended

Published: September 2024

The effects of the substitution of wheat flour (WF) with Germinated Sorghum Flour (GSF) and Pigeon Peas Flour (PPF) at ratios of 100:00:00; 90:5:5; 80; 10:10 and 70:15:15 respectively in the proximate and mineral composition of the flour blends and the sensory properties of the chin-chin produced from the composite flour using standard methods were evaluated. The substitution reduced the moisture content from 10.55 to 9.18% while ash, fiber, protein, and fat content increased from 5.25 to 8.16%; 0.45 to 1.23%; 8.11 to 14.19%, and 3.37 to 5.42% respectively. An expected decrease in the carbohydrate content was recorded. The addition of GSF and PPF increased the sodium (1.18 - 1.45mg/100g); Potassium (1.48 - 3.49 mg /100g) and magnesium (0.68 - 1.66mg/100g) while zinc which was the most abundant out of all the mineral element assessed decreased from 74.32 - 36.61 mg/100g. The 100% WF Chin- -chin was ranked highest in color, taste, aroma, crispness, and general -acceptability closely followed by chin-chin produced fun 80WF: 10GSF: 10 PPF. This implies that wheat flour, germinated sorghum four and pigeon pea flour blends will produce chin-chin of good nutritional qualities

Authors: - Eliyanora , Ihsan Hidayatul , - Gustina
Published: September 2024

Sebagai pihak yang memegang amanah untuk mengelola aset wakaf, nazhir sudah seharusnya mengelola aset wakaf tersebut secara profesional dengan mengedepankan aspek akuntabilitas yang merupakan salah satu dimensi dalam tata kelola organisasi yang baik (good governance). Baik organisasi yang berorientasi dalam mencari laba (profit oriented) maupun nirlaba (nonprofit/not for profit) sama-sama dituntut untuk bisa menunjukkan akuntabilitasnya kepada stakeholders. Sebagai salah satu organisasi publik yang non-governmental, institusi wakaf juga tidak terkecualikan dari tanggung jawab akuntabilitas publiknya. Untuk itu, Ikatan Akuntan Indonesia (IAI) telah mengesahkan Pernyataan Standar Akuntansi Keuangan (PSAK) no 112 tentang Wakaf yang efektif berlaku mulai Januari 2021. Tentu saja, keberadaan PSAK wakaf kedepannya diharapkan bisa meningkatkan transparansi dan akuntabilitas lembaga wakaf di Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan pengabdian ini dilakukan untuk memberikan pemahaman kepada mitra (Yayasan Wakaf Daarul Hufadz) terkait dengan standar akuntansi wakaf berdasarkan PSAK 112. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengabdian ini adalah melalui pelatihan singkat kepada para pengelola wakaf (nazhir) yang merupakan pengurus Yayasan Wakaf Daarul Hufadz. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini diharapkan mampu meningkatkan pengetahuan nazhir tentang standar akuntansi wakaf dan mampu menimplementasikannya.

Bamboo material can be applied to structural and decorative elements of modern and minimalist architecture. Use bamboo as structural element, among: 1) as reinforcement structural column, bamboo diameter of 12 cm inserted into the structural column inside iron reinforcement, then cast with concrete. This technique can reduce concrete volume up to 50% than conventional concrete columns, 2) as wall reinforcement, bamboo inserted between the iron reinforcement of the supporting wall, then cast with concrete mortar. This system in addition strengthening walls against the moment forces pressure, can also reduce the volume of concrete. This system can produce walls with a thickness of only 8 cm, much thinner when compared to conventional brick walls 15 cm thick, 3) as reinforcement of concrete slabs, woven bamboo is laid horizontally as a partial replacement for concrete reinforcement iron. This system aims to significantly reduce the amount of iron on the slab, which will reduce construction costs.

Il Devisement dou monde è probabilmente l’opera della letteratura medievale che ha attraversato la più intricata vicenda

fortemente mescidato da tratti italiani, riconoscibile nella sola copia rimasta, il cod. parigino fr. 1116: F), entro la prima metà del XIV secolo l’opera fu più volte tradotta in versioni che spesso sfiorano il radicale rimaneggiamento in toscano,
veneziano, latino, francese, catalano, tedesco, ecc., producendo una ricchissima tradizione manoscritta e approdando precocemente alla stampa.
Cultural Adaptation of Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation Therapy for Spanish-speaking Caribbean Veterans at the VA Caribbean Healthcare System: A preliminary study of feasibility and acceptability in a Primary Care setting
Authors: Rivera-Rivera Naiomi , Calaf Myralys , Pérez-Pedrogo Coralee , Sánchez-Cardona Israel , Villegas-Adorno Yelitza
Published: September 2024

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has endorsed the Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR) therapy as an effective intervention for reducing PTSD symptoms, enhancing self-regulation, and improving interpersonal efficacy. However, Spanish-speaking veterans at the VA Caribbean Healthcare System lacked access to STAIR manuals in their preferred language. This study addressed this gap by translating and culturally adapting the STAIR therapy participant manual using the Ecological Validity Model (EVM). The materials were then tested in a randomized intervention with six Caribbean Spanish-speaking male veterans, aged 23-62, diagnosed with PTSD who received mental health services at the Primary Care Mental Health Integration (PC-MHI) level of care. Nonparametric tests were used to evaluate symptom progression, and content analysis was conducted on semi-structured interviews. There were no statistically significant changes in PTSD, emotion regulation, or interpersonal problems within the groups. However, participants in the intervention group reported clinically significant changes regarding PTSD symptoms. Interviews with therapists and STAIR participants highlighted improvements in social engagement and interpersonal boundaries. The intervention was found to be feasible and acceptable at PC-MHI. The culturally adapted Spanish version of the STAIR manual proved to be effective, suggesting that STAIR may be a viable approach for reducing PTSD symptoms and improving interpersonal and self-regulation strategies among Spanish-speaking veterans in primary care settings. A randomized control trial is recommended to further explore its efficacy.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have gained wide interest due to their high device efficiency of up to 22.1%. Perovskite solar cells are comprised of five main layers: fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass, titanium dioxide (TiO2) electron transport layer (ETL), perovskite active layer, Spiro-OMeTAD hole transport layer (HTL), and a metal contact layer. The metal contact layer plays a significant role in collecting and transporting the generated current and hence governs the performance of the device. Aluminium (Al) is more cost-efficient than the commonly used silver (Ag) or gold (Au) contact layers in perovskite solar cells. The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of different thicknesses and surface morphologies on the electrical properties of the Al thin film contact layers for perovskite solar cell applications. The Al contact layers were deposited using a thermal evaporator with varying Al wire source lengths at constant deposition duration and pressure. The deposited films were characterised for thickness, morphology, and electrical properties using a stylus profilometer, an atomic force microscope, and a four-point probe, respectively. Results showed that thicker Al films have larger particle sizes as compared to the thinner films, demonstrating a more continuous film morphology. Resistivity and conductivity show a variance with different film thickness. Based on literature, higher conductivity and larger particle sizes of the metal contact layers can improve charge transportation, which contributes to the performance of the perovskite solar cell.
Visual Interpretation of the Managing Paradigm of an Organizational System with Heterogeneous Production Resources
Authors: Ivlev Mikhail , Ryabov Dmitry
Published: September 2024

The object of the study is developing a formalized mechanism for managing an organizational system that implements complex production activities, including different types of industrial production, and applies the corresponding heterogeneous resources. The subject of the article is an important intermediate stage of this development, which is an abstract interpretation of the optimal management paradigm of limited resources of such an organizational system, proposed earlier by the authors. The interpretation will allow reasonably forming a strict mathematical model of objects and control processes. The management mechanism in any subject area, providing for adopting management decisions by people authorized to do so, must have an ergonomic development and appropriate information support for these decisions. The so-called result information plays the role of such support, that is the information on the characteristics of the current and planned states of the management object in the problem being solved which is the productivity of the organizational system resources. It seems advisable to carry out such ergonomic and information development of the designed problem-oriented management mechanism in the form of a visual interpretation of its substantive concept. The prototype of such interpretation tools is graphic images used in modelling and designing technical systems, developed in this work in the field of management in organizational systems with heterogeneous resources. The article provides examples of their application, demonstrating the possibility of visual representation of the current state of the organizational system and the set of its possible controlled states.
On the Value, Quality and Negative Citation of Scientific Publications
Authors: Marvin Sergey
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes such concepts as value and quality as applied to scientific publications. A review of a series of works devoted to disclosing the meaning of these concepts is conducted: these works convincingly demonstrate that the value and quality terms are not equivalent, despite the correlation between them. If one is talking about conscientious, non-imitation citation, it reflects the value of a scientific publication (based on the fact of its use), but not its quality. In addition to the reviewed series of works, the presented article shows which manifestations of the value of scientific publications can be reflected in their citation (the value reflected by different links can be different in nature). The article mentions the practices of imitation citation (which reflects neither value nor quality) and possible statistical tools for their detecting, as well as for reducing their impact on scientometric indicators. The article considers such a phenomenon as negative citation of a scientific publication, which reflects the polemical, debatable value of the cited work with low assessments of its quality. It is reasonably shown that the opinion on the necessity to exclude such a component of value from all scientometric calculations, in any case, has a right to exist and is acceptable as an alternative.

Authors: Prokhorova Maria , Angelova Olga , Podolskaya Tatyana
Published: September 2024

The study, which involves 265 respondents, is aimed at identifying student youth’s attitude to using artificial intelligence in various spheres of life and ideas about it. To collect data, the authors use a questionnaire, including open questions and multiple-choice tasks in its main part. To process the data the paper applies content analysis, descriptive statistics and Pearson’s 2 criterion. It is found that students understand the phenomenon of artificial intelligence differently, interpreting it as an imitator of the human brain, a tool or a practice-oriented solution, a certain algorithm or scientific knowledge. Some students do not clearly understand the essence of the term “artificial intelligence” or find it difficult to interpret it. Students associate the main functionality of artificial intelligence with the increased labour or study productivity, with assistance in performing routine; less often, they associate it with creative tasks. However, some students cannot determine the functionality of artificial intelligence or do not see any prospects for its development for humans. Most students, considering artificial intelligence as their assistant, which reduces the time of obtaining data and creates certain conveniences, turn to it to solve their problems often or rarely. They are ready to use only free services or determine the budget for such expenses taking into account the tasks they are to solve. Students find the main barriers to using artificial intelligence in the issuance of standard, stereotypical solution options and the limitation on the data volume. Students see the prospects for the artificial intelligence development in its limitation in the legal field and possible superiority over the human mind. It is advisable to include knowledge of the artificial intelligence concept and the ability to determine its functionality in the list of universal competencies mastered at the university, and understanding the essence of artificial intelligence and the ability to use it in the context of solving applied problems should be included in professional competencies.

Authors: Kadyrova D. V.
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the research is to evaluate some toxicological parameters of antiparasitic selamectin-based drug.Materials and methods. The study drug is a solution for external use, 1 mL of which contains the active component selamectin (120 mg), as well as additives. The experiments used a total of 66 white outbred male rats, 42 white outbred male mice and 3 guinea pigs. The parameters of acute oral toxicity (in mice and rats), acute dermal toxicity (in rats), and dermal and mucous membrane irritation (in rats and guinea pigs) of antiparasitic selamectin-based drug were evaluated. LD50 was calculated and the irritation of the drug was evaluated using established procedures in toxicology.Results and discussion. The maximum tolerated dose of the selamectin-based drug was 2550 mg/kg in the mice and 4250 mg/kg in the rats. The absolutely lethal dose for the mice and the rats was 6800 and 8500 mg/kg, respectively. It was established that the drug belonged to hazard class 3 (moderately hazardous substances) when administered intragastrically to the animals: LD50 for the mice was 4816.7 mg/kg, and LD50 for the rats was 6091.7 mg/kg. In determining acute dermal toxicity in the rats, the drug was classified as hazard class 4 (low-hazardous substances): LD50 more than 8500 mg/kg. The drug irritant effect on the skin of the rats at doses of 4250, 6375 and 8500 mg/kg was not established. The drug had a mild effect on the mucous membrane of the eyes of the guinea pigs with its recovery to normal within 24 hours.

Published: September 2024

The purpose of the research is to investigate subacute cutaneous toxicity in rats, allergenic properties in guinea pigs and tolerance of increased doses of drugs based on imidacloprid, moxidectin and pyriproxyfen by dogs and cats of different age groups.Materials and methods. Toxicological studies (subacute cutaneous toxicity, study of allergenic properties) were conducted in the vivarium of the All-Russian Research Institute of Plant Protection, a branch of the Federal Scientific Center for Experimental Veterinary Medicine of the Russian Academy of Sciences, on male rats and guinea pigs. Experiments on the tolerance of drugs by target animal species (dogs, cats) were conducted in the Podolsk department of the All-Russian Research Institute of Plant Protection. The choice of doses, frequency and methods of administration of the studied drugs were determined in accordance with the Guidelines for Experimental (Preclinical) Study of New Pharmacological Substances. All doses were calculated for the drug taking into account the density (1.08 g/cm3).Results and discussion. When studying the acute cutaneous toxicity of the drug on rats, LD50 exceeded the maximum possible dose of 10 000 mg/kg (hazard class 4 according to GOST 12.1.007-76). In a subacute experiment on rats, it was established that doses of 1000 and 500 mg/kg are ineffective (safe), the threshold and toxic doses could not be established. These drugs, when treating animals 8 times with an interval of 3 days in a three- and five-fold increase in the maximum therapeutic dose during the experimental period, did not have a negative effect on the general condition of the animals, their physiological status and behavior; no statistically significant changes in the morphological and biochemical parameters of the blood, physicochemical parameters of urine were noted in animals from the experimental groups compared to the control. However, in one adult dog from the second experimental group, which was used a five-fold increase in the maximum therapeutic dose of the drug, depression was noted on the 20th day of the experiment. The physiological state of the animal returned to normal within 24 hours voluntarily without the use of symptomatic therapy.

Предмет. Сучасна медицина продемонструвала багато потенційних переваг для здоров’я людини ягід дикорослих рослин, які є джерелом вітамінів та інших біологічно активних речовин взагалі, макро- і мікроелементів, антиоксидантів тощо. Як досліднцький матеріал, що широко використовується у медицині та харчовій промисловості України, взято ягоди брусниці (Vaccinium vitis – idaea L.) і журавлини (Oxycoccus palustris). Мета. Аналіз особливості харчової цінності і здатності до накопичення небезпечних хімічних сполук брусницею та журавлиною та експериментальні дослідження вмісту в ягодах рослин есенціальних та токсичних елементів. Методи та експериментальні дослідження. Вміст есенціальних та токсичних елементів у ягодах рослин проводили фізико-хімічними методами, а саме: вміст арсену – фотометрично (ДСТУ ISO 6634:2005), вміст цинку, міді, мангану, кобальту, нікелю, свинцю та кадмію – методом атомно-абсорбційної спектрофотометрії (ДСТУ EN 14082:2019). Було проаналізовано по 3 зразки свіжих ягід з рослин, які зібрані в різних місцевостях Карпатського регіону Львівщини. Дані вимірювань представляли як середнє значення та зазначали сумарну розширену невизначеність результату в абсолютних одиницях (коефіцієнт охоплення рівний 2). Результати. Дослідження показали, що вміст есенціальних мікроелементів у деяких зразках брусниці в рази вищий ніж у журавлині: цинку – приблизно у чотири рази, міді – у дев’ять разів та мангану – більше ніж у два рази. Сфера застосування результатів. Порівнюючи отримані дані з добовою потребою дорослого населення у мінеральних речовинах слід сказати, що і брусниця і журавлина можуть бути ефективним джерелом збагачення організму міддю та манганом.
