Published: December 2023

Risk management is widely used to deal with known risks. However, it is difficult to solve unknown and unpredictable events. Resilience can effectively deal with uncertainty as a complement to risk management. However, there is a lack of cost contingency estimation from the resilience perspective. This study proposes a framework to show the relationship between risk management, resilience and cost contingency. In this framework, cost contingency is not only used to predict the known risks, but also have the ability to deal with uncertain events with quick adaptation and recovery. This study contributes a newly developed framework to estimate project cost contingency.

Published: December 2023

Agile leadership, as an emerging form of leadership, is a leadership competency that a leader needs to have to lead in a re-broadened uncertain environment. In this paper, we analyzed the influencing factors of agile leadership for project managers and categorized them into seven core competencies: Positive Change Competency, Professional Business Competency, Environment Perception Competency, Interactive Resonance Competency, Behavioral Competency, Authorization Management Competency, and Mindset and Principles. We invited ten experts to score anonymously, and through analytic hierarchy process modeling, we identified four of them: positive change competency, environmental perception competency, professional business competency, and interactive resonance competency, which have a more outstanding impact on project managers’ agile leadership, and project managers can enhance agile leadership by strengthening these four aspects. Combining the findings of the analysis, we propose the following enhancement strategies: leading change, fearing no failure, lifelong learning, active innovation, removing barriers to innovation, and block decision making.

The role and place of a holistic vision in the management of projects for the creation of information technologies for the organization’s development are considered. A conceptual model of a holistic vision in the processes of managing innovative projects is given. The influence of a holistic vision on the life cycle of innovative projects regarding the development of knowledge and management technologies is determined. The key competencies and strategic priorities of the organization regarding the implementation of the sustainable development strategy are considered. In the process of research, two models of sustainable development were chosen based on the application of innovative projects. The first model “Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD)” defines three levels of creative competencies – linear, literal and holistic. Within the framework of this model, the qualitative effects of individual competencies on the formation of a holistic vision are determined by way of example. The second model is related to the application of the system of knowledge and competencies for the management of innovative projects and P2M programs. Within this model, priority competencies are defined, which form a holistic vision of project managers. A model of the effects of a holistic vision on inspiring intuition in the processes of implementing innovative projects and programs was built within the framework of the assessments.

Megaprojects need to consider a broader set of stakeholders, including external stakeholders. Although this dyadic relationship between the project organization and stakeholders has been widely adopted and is used in stakeholder management studies, the number of studies that incorporate a network view on stakeholders is considerably lower. The quantitative barriers create measurement challenges in understanding the dynamics of relationships among stakeholders in a broader network. To have sufficient observations to conduct empirical studies, one must map the structure of relationships among a large number of relationships among broader stakeholders and assess the level of conflict or cooperation of those ties. In this paper, we propose a method to generate a set of quantitative measures about the structure of relationships among stakeholders and megaprojects. We utilize English-language media articles stored in the Dow Jones Factiva database and apply natural language processing techniques to identify their stakeholders of them and construct a panel dataset of relationships among them. Drawing from methods to analyze social networks, we also construct an undirected graph to describe the stakeholder network of given megaprojects.

Published: December 2023

To evaluate the impact of the long-term application of organic manures on yield, uptake of zinc and copper in maize, peas and summer mungbean cropping systems, a field study was conducted at the integrated farming system of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. The treatment combinations were; T1: 50% N through recommended NPK + 50% N was substituted through FYM, T2: 100% N through FYM, T3: T2 + intercropping (marigold in pea, cowpea in maize), T4: T2 + agronomic practices for weed and. pest control, T5: 50% N as FYM + rock phosphate to substitute the P requirement of crops + phosphate solubilizing bacterial. cultures (PSB), T6: T2 + biofertilizer (consortium) containing N and P carriers and T7: 100% Recommended NPK through chemical fertilizers. Significant increases in the yield, micronutrient content and uptake were recorded due to the application of 50% nitrogen through farmyard manure (FYM) and 50% of the recommended dose of fertilizers (T1) followed by 100% N through FYM + biofertilizer containing. N and P, carriers (T6). The highest grain yield of maize (5.72 t ha-1), pea (16.2 t ha-1) and summer mungbean (11.6 t ha-1) were recorded in treatment T1, surpassing the 100% recommended dose of fertilizer (T7) by 13.7%, 20% and 10.4 %, respectively. The concentration of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) in the grains of maize, pea and summer mung bean was 38.3%, 14.1%, 29.6% and 53.4%, 22.8 % and 19.8% higher in treatment T1 as compared to treatment T7. Moreover, the concentration of copper and zinc in the grains of maize, pea and summer mung bean was 32.1%, 24.2% and 29.5 % and 21.7%, 17.6% and 11.6% higher in treatment T1, respectively, compared to treatment T7. Similarly, the increase in the uptake of Cu and Zn was observed in both grain and straw of maize, pea and summer mung bean. The study concluded that the integrated nutrient management (INM) treatment is to substitute a portion of chemical fertilizers with a more sustainable and environmentally safe organic compost in order to mitigate soil degradation, improve crop production, and protect the environment.

Published: December 2023

Introducción: La recurrencia del cáncer de mama temprano luminal sigue siendo una necesidad no satisfecha. La identificación de pacientes con alto riesgo de recurrencia es mandatorio para poder planificar estrategias que permitan intensificar el tratamiento adyuvante con el fin de prevenir la recaída. El estudio MonarchE propuso criterios clínico patológicos de categorización en alto riesgo de recurrencia y demostró que el agregado de abemaciclib a la terapia hormonal adyuvante reduce el riesgo de recaída.
Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de la vida real con el objetivo de obtener información acerca de la incidencia y características clínico-patológicas de pacientes pre menopáusicas atendidas en el Instituto de Oncología Ángel H. Roffo y que hubieran sido candidatas para abemaciclib adyuvante.
Resultados: Se incluyeron 107 pacientes. El 45% (n=48/107) de las pacientes cumplía criterios de alto riesgo y el 54% (n=26) de la población de riesgo se seleccionaron por tener 4 o más ganglios comprometidos. La indicación de supresión de función ovárica (SFO) fue mayor para el grupo considerado de alto riesgo por MonarchE, 48 vs. 32% pero no alcanzó significancia estadística. Entre las pacientes seleccionadas para SFO, el método reversible farmacológico fue el más utilizado (62%) y en el 42% de ellas el tratamiento se vio comprometido por el acceso a la medicación. Esta dificultad en el acceso fue significativamente mayor para pacientes sin cobertura de salud (OR 6, p=0.02).

Conclusión: Nuestro estudio pone en evidencia el alto porcentaje de pacientes que se verían beneficiadas de intensificar el tratamiento adyuvante hormonal con ICDK4/6 en una cohorte atendida en una Institución pública de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, pero deja a la luz un posible problema de acceso a medicación de alto costo como se evidencia con los análogos GnRH.

Published: December 2023

Aim:
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal dysbiosis associated with adverse clinical sequelae, most notably, increased risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The aims of this study were to estimate the frequency of BV recurrence, treatment patterns, other gynecological (GYN) conditions, and the associated healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and costs among commercially insured patients in the USA.
Patients & methods:
Female patients aged 12–49 years with an incident vaginitis diagnosis and ≥1 pharmacy claim for a BV medication (fungal treatment only excluded) were selected from the Merative™ MarketScan commercial database (2017–2020). During a minimum 12-month follow-up, additional treatment courses, treatment patterns, frequency of other GYN conditions, and HCRU and costs were assessed. Generalized linear models were used to identify baseline predictors of total all-cause healthcare costs and number of treatment courses.
Results:
The study population included 140,826 patients (mean age: 31.5 years) with an incident vaginitis diagnosis and ≥1 BV medication claim. During the follow-up, 64.2% had 1 treatment course, 22.0% had 2, 8.1% had 3, and 5.8% had ≥4; 35.8% had a BV recurrence (≥2 BV medication claims). The most commonly prescribed BV medication was oral metronidazole (73.6%). Approximately 12% (n = 16,619) of patients had a new diagnosis of another GYN condition in the follow-up; 8.2% had a new STI, which were more common among patients with ≥4 treatment courses (12.9%). During follow-up, total all-cause healthcare costs averaged $8987 per patient per year (PPPY) of which $470 was BV-related. BV-related healthcare costs increased from $403 PPPY among those with 1 treatment course to $806 PPPY among those with ≥4 with nearly half the costs attributed to outpatient office visits.
Conclusion:
BV recurrence among this population represented a substantial clinical and healthcare economic burden warranting improvements in women's healthcare.
Johann Valentin Andreae: Gesammelte Schriften / Band 13: Turris Babel sive judiciorum de Fraternitate Rosaceae Crucis chaos (1619). De curiositatis pernicie syntagma (1620)
Authors: Andreae Johann Valentin
Published: December 2023

This volume contains Andreae’s swansong to the Rosicrucian movement. In the 25 trialogues ›Turris Babel‹ (›The Tower of Babel‹, 1619) this is done rather half-heartedly; Andreae wants to get rid of natural theology and alchemy, but he continues to advocate the idea of a pious elite to reform politics and theology, which he formulated in his small writings on Christian reform (vol. 6). The ›Tractat‹ (actually more of an essay) on the ›Harmfulness of Curiosity and the False Pursuit of Singularity‹ (›De curiositatis pernicie syntagma. Ad singularitatis studiosos‹, 1620) is also a reckoning with the Rosicrucian furor. In addition, Andreae describes pseudo-scientific hocus-pocus, false prophets, sanctimonious sectarians, aristocratic art connoisseurs and youthful non-conformism in psychologically refined and satirically pointed portraits as varieties of »curiosity«, the seductive power of which he knows from his own experience.
Im Spannungsfeld zwischen islamischem Fiqh und freiheitlich-demokratischer Grundordnung
Authors: Yakubi Harasch
Published: December 2023

Der Verfasser nimmt das Gleichberechtigungsgebot des Art. 3 Abs. 2 GG zum Anlass, der Frage nach der Vereinbarkeit der Wertungen der freiheitlich-demokratischen Grundordnung des Grundgesetzes mit der islamischen Rechts- und Werteordnung nachzugehen.

Ausgehend von der herausgearbeiteten verfassungsrechtlichen Einordnung des Gleichberechtigungsgebots im Grundgesetz setzt sich der Verfasser anschließend mit den Grundlagen der islamischen Rechts- und Werteordnung unter Berücksichtigung der historischen, dogmatischen und systematischen Aspekte sowie des Potenzials der Rechtsfortentwicklung auseinander.

Der Verfasser konzentriert sich sodann auf ausgewählte Regelungsbeispiele aus der islamischen Rechtsordnung, die in einem Spannungsverhältnis zum Gleichberechtigungsgedanken stehen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird schließlich untersucht, wie das Verständnis und der Blick auf die ausgewählten Regelungsbeispiele bei einer progressiv-ausgerichteten Herangehensweise weiterentwickelt werden können und welche Herausforderungen hierbei bestehen.

 
First order logic of random sparse structures
Authors:   , Larrauri Borroto Lázaro Alberto
Published: December 2023

(English) This work is dedicated to the study several models of random structures from the perspective of first-order logic. We prove that the asymptotic probabilities of first-order statements converge in a general model of random structures with linear density, extending previous results by Lynch. Additionally, we give an application of this result to the random SAT problem. We also inspect the set of limiting probabilities of first-order properties in sparse binomial graphs, binomial d-uniform hypergraphs and graphs with given degree sequences. In particular, we characterize the conditions under which this set of asymptotic probabilities is dense in the interval [0, 1]. Finally, we introduce the question of whether preservation theorems, namely Los-Tarski Theorem and Lyndon’s Theorem, hold in a probabilistic sense in various models of random graphs. We obtain several positive results in different regimes of the binomial random graph and uniform graphs from addable minor-closed classes.

(Español) Este trabajo está dedicado al estudio de varios modelos de estructuras aleatorias desde el punto de vista de la lógica de primer orden. Demostramos que las probabilidades asintóticas de las propiedades de primer orden convergen en un modelo general de estructuras aleatorias con densidade linear, generalizando resultados previos de Lynch. Damos también una aplicación de este resultado al estudio de instancias aleatorias del problema SAT. Además, inspeccionamos el conjunto de probabilidades límite relacionadas con las sentencias de primer orden en el régimen esparso de los grafos binomiales, hipergrafos d-uniformes y grafos con secuencias de grados dadas. En particular, caracterizamos las situaciones en las que este conjunto de probabilidades límite es denso en el intervalo [0,1]. Por último, introducimos la pregunta sobre si los teoremas de preservación de la lógica de primer orden, concretamente los teoremas de Los-Tarski y de Lyndon, se cumplen en varios modelos de grafos aleatorios. Obtenemos múltiples resultados positivos para diferentes régimenes de grafo aleatorio binomial y para grafos aleatorios de clases sumables cerradas por menores.

This study aimed to investigate the functional outcomes of Mini-Open Rotator Cuff Repair compared to Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery. The study included 20 patients, with an average age of 55 years, who underwent either open or arthroscopic rotator-cuff repair surgery. Our data showed that most patients started going back to work and engaging in regular daily activities three months after surgery. In both groups, the patients' range of motion (ROM) was 100% after three months. The CMS score responses increased after 6 months, and similarly, at 12 months, the CMS scores indicate good or excellent outcomes for both groups. Majority of the factors showed statistically insignificant p-values. However, the median ASES score increased as the follow-up months increased in both groups, with significant P-values (0.057, 0.016, and 0.016) for the scores at 3, 6, and 12 months.

Published: December 2023

The main problems in dyspraxia are problems in coordination patterns and motor skills that require skills and rhythmic movements (motor skills). The foundation of children's motor skills is visual oculomotor abilities as a function of visual perception which is able to influence the midline position of the body so that children are able to achieve a position of static balance (balance) and also dynamic balance (postural control). The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of the three motor skill foundations on praxis events in atypical school-aged children. The research was conducted on 102 samples of children aged 7-12 years at the Asya Therapy Center Mojokerto. Samples were taken at simple random and divided into 2 groups, namely the case group (n=54) and the control group (n=48). The research design uses a case control study where researchers analyze the risk of praxis problems in terms of the influence of visual oculomotor factors, balance and postural control. Data analysis used logistic regression analysis which showed a significant value of 0.000 (0.000<0.05) so that from these results it can be seen that visual oculomotor factors, balance and postural control have a significant influence on praxis problems in atypical children aged 7-12 year. Apart from that, from the results of calculating the ods ratio, it was found that the highest ods ratio value was owned by the control ability

Simulation and performance analysis of municipal solid waste gasification in a novel hybrid fixed bed gasifier
Authors:   , Moshi Robert
Published: December 2023

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is a main challenge to municipalities in developing countries due to the increase in its production caused by technology development, community culture, population growth, and urbanization. The challenge is heightened by the scarcity of dumping sites within municipalities and the environmental impact associated with improper disposal management. Thermo-chemical conversion technologies (gasification, pyrolysis and incineration) have become to be known as practicable technologies for municipal solid waste management (MSWM). In this study, the Hybrid Fixed Bed Gasifier (HFBG) model was developed using Aspen Plus in order to merge the advantages of both downdraft and cross draft gasifiers and suppress their disadvantages. Furthermore, experimental analysis of the flue gas was carried out on the HFBG. The TESTO 327- 1 flue gas analyzer was used to analyze the concentration of CO, CO2 and O2. The simulated results showed that the feedstock MC of about 59.8 wt% was lowered to 6.8 wt%. The developed hybrid fixed bed gasifier demonstrated an increase in 2 H and CO of about 29.29 % and 37.05 % mole fraction in the producer gas respectively. The syngas output was highly affected by the changes in the ER as well as change in temperature. The composition for 2 H and CO increases with increase in temperature while the composition decreases with ER between 0.1 to 0.4. However, at this ER CO2 and H O2 tend to increases but above 0.4 CO2 and H O2 decrease gradually. Experimental results show that after the elapse of 30 minutes CO and CO2 concentration was 9.69% and 5.85% respectively. Furthermore, after 150 minutes of the gasification process, the output concentration for O2 was 17.2 % while the concentration for CO and CO2 was 0.0 % and 3.77 % respectively. The experimental results revealed that, during the entire gasification process the concentration for CO and CO2 were decreasing with time while O2 concentration was increasing. This result shows diversion from the simulated results due to gasifier leakages. With high MC of MSW, the study has shown that, HFBG can handle up 60 wt% as compared to downdraft which is limited to 20 wt%.

Authors:   , Focus Erasto
Published: December 2023

Currently, the mining industry in Tanzania faces significant challenges including a significant policy research gap. In this work, different indices were applied to assess the health risk of people living and working in Rwamagasa artisanal and small-scale gold mines compared to existing Tanzanian and international standards. This dissertation has focused on quantifying and assessing the risk of selected trace and radioactive elements in a small-scale mining area. Furthermore, the present study analyzed and thus gives some recommendations on issues surrounding the Tanzanian mineral and mining policymaking process. Building on existing work on miner’s health risk, the present study asks: What are the levels of trace and radioactive elements in the studied mining areas compared to the recommended local and international limits? What is the health risk due to trace and radioactive elements exposure to mine workers and the surrounding communities? What are some of the deficiencies in the structure of the Tanzanian mineral and mining regulatory framework that are relevant to the environment and public health in artisanal and small-scale gold mines (ASGM)? The hyper pure germanium detector (HPGe) was used for radioactivity analysis. The soil trace elements were analyzed using the energy dispersive X-ray florescence (ED-XRF) technique. The radon gas levels were measured using the Alpha Guard radon monitor. Different literatures survey digest were used to assess the appropriate works on the regulatory and legal framework of the mining sector in Tanzania. The levels of trace elements, carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic health risks revealed that children were more at-risk compared to adults. The hazard index for all pathways was 1.77. This index suggested that the residents of the studied sites were at a high risk of non carcinogenic effects due to mining operations. The carcinogenic risk for adults and children was found to be 3.42×10-5 and 6.16×10-5 , respectively, which were higher than the tolerable limit (1×10-6 ). The results on radioactivity; mean effective dose; annual gonadal equivalent and absorbed dose; radium equivalent; internal and external hazard indices; alpha and gamma indices; and the radon gas revealed high values – approximately 60% higher than the levels that were found in the control area. The Tanzania mining policy-making process needs to have a circular model with the inclusion of scientific inputs as well as societal involvement at every stage of formulation. The present study recommends further studies especially those that use human samples and human subjects in attempting to discover more on the risk posed by mining operations on human health. Also, sustainable mining awareness to people of Rwamagasa is ii recommended. Furthermore, the present study suggests developing a document that govern the Tanzania artisanal and small-scale mining subsector.

Availability of areas and facilities for physical activity for the non-registered public
Authors: Vášková Andrea
Published: December 2023

The conference on sustainability and accessibility of sports infrastructure organised by the NSA in 2022 showed how the issue of accessibility of sports and physical activities for citizens is crucial in the context of ensuring a healthy lifestyle for the general non-registered public. It also confirmed that there is a lack of any national concept for the country that addresses this topic. One of the key factors in promoting regular physical activity among the general public is accessibility, both geographic and financial. This paper outlines the current approaches to the development of databases for these places in the Czech Republic, which is the subject of the author's PhD thesis. They demonstrate that unless a national register of areas and facilities for sport and physical activity is quickly created, it is impossible to have an objective basis for planning the urban development of these places. Using the example of an analysis of selected cities in the country, it is shown that just few existing facilities are year-round complex wellness centres and that there is an insufficient number of them in relation to the demands of the people in the localities. Finally, a system of uniform methodology for the registration of suitable places and their relevance for the preparation of urban plans of town and municipality is outlined.
