Published: September 2024

Obesity is a global health concern leading to various chronic diseases, including alterations in liver enzymes. This study aimed to investigate the effect of TRX training program on liver enzymes in obese middle-aged women. In this quasi-experimental study, 30 obese women with a BMI above 30 and an average age of 50.00 ± 6.87 years were randomly divided into two groups: TRX (n=15) and control (n=15). The TRX group engaged in TRX training for eight weeks, while the control group maintained their usual lifestyle. Blood samples were collected before and after the intervention to measure liver enzymes. Anthropometric measurements were also taken before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA to control for pre-test differences and determine post-test differences between groups. The ANCOVA results revealed significant differences in post-test liver enzyme levels between the TRX and control groups, after controlling for pre-test scores. For ALT, F(1, 27) = 12.94, p = 0.001, partial eta squared = 0.324; for AST, F(1, 27) = 10.12, p = 0.003, partial eta squared = 0.273; and for ALP, F(1, 27) = 25.62, p < 0.001, partial eta squared = 0.487, indicating significant improvements in the TRX group compared to the control group. This study demonstrated that eight weeks of TRX training significantly improved liver enzymes ALT, AST, and ALP in obese women. Therefore, TRX training can be an effective intervention for enhancing liver enzyme health.

Published: September 2024

Objective: The present study aims to structurally model the relationship between organizational factors and negative job outcomes mediated by job characteristics among teachers in Urmia County. Methodology: This correlational research involved a statistical population of all teachers in Urmia County, totaling 10,000 individuals. The research sample, based on the Morgan table, comprised 373 individuals, selected using proportional stratified random sampling. To measure the variables, questionnaires on organizational support (Eisenberger, 1997), organizational identity (Cheney, 1983), job stagnation (Judith Bardwick, 1988), intention to leave the job (Mobley-Horner, 1978; Lyons, 1971), organizational silence (Vakola & Bouradas, 2005), job autonomy (Jang, 1995), and job security (Nissi, 2000) were used. The content validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by experts and advisors, and the reliability of the questionnaires was estimated to be 0.953, 0.984, 0.968, 0.972, 0.992, 0.918, and 0.980, respectively. In this study, the PLS method was used with the help of Smart PLS 3.2.9 software to fit the conceptual research model and test the hypotheses. Findings: The results indicate that organizational factors (organizational identity and organizational support) have a significant inverse relationship with negative job outcomes (organizational silence, job stagnation, and intention to leave the job). Thus, there is an indirect and significant inverse relationship between the organizational factors of teachers (organizational identity and organizational support) and negative job outcomes (organizational silence, job stagnation, and intention to leave the job) mediated by job characteristics (job autonomy and job security) among teachers in Urmia County. Conclusion: Thus, with an increase in organizational identity and organizational support, teachers' job autonomy and sense of job security increase, which in turn reduces their negative job outcomes, namely intention to leave the job, job stagnation, and organizational silence.

Published: September 2024

Objective: In the contemporary era, having a capable workforce is considered a competitive advantage for universities, and the job turnover intention among faculty members is one of the fundamental challenges for universities. Accordingly, this study aimed to examine the job leaving intention among faculty members of Azad Universities in Fars Province. Methodology: This research was an exploratory sequential mixed-methods study of the instrument development type. In the qualitative section, using purposive sampling and the theoretical saturation technique, 16 experts were selected for the study on job turnover intention among faculty members of Azad Universities in Fars Province. Initially, the main influencing indicators were extracted from the theoretical foundations and validated by experts using the fuzzy Delphi methodology. Since consensus among experts is the decision criterion in the Delphi method, the questionnaire was distributed and collected over three stages to achieve overall expert consensus on the classification. Then, using the matrix questionnaire and interpretive structural modeling technique distributed among specialists, the leveling of these factors was carried out. Findings: According to the obtained results, it is shown that ten factors pertain to the first level: a sense of injustice, personality traits, lack of adaptability, neglect, environmental factors, individual factors, job involvement, lack of social belonging, presence of conflict, and value differences. Additionally, two factors belong to the second level: organizational factors and human factors. The only factor related to the third level is the lack of employee work independence. The factor of non-implementation of a coordinated and fair system remains in the model and pertains to the fourth level of the model. Conclusion: It is recommended that attention to key dimensions such as organizational empathy, participative management, understanding employees in the workplace, attention to their individual issues and problems, addressing their demands, understanding discriminations, striving to reduce them, and focusing on positive psychology can contribute to organizational growth and excellence. This can lead to reducing or eliminating the adverse effects of job turnover intention, such as increasing intra-organizational conflicts, tensions, lack of organizational participation, secrecy, job abandonment, and damage to organizational performance.

The Schreiner Collection is a skeletal collection at the Anatomical Institute, University of Oslo. It includes material from the Stone Age up to the 19th century and has been built up over more than 150 years. However, the Institute’s present management does not think that the approximately 8.500 skeletons are of such interest that the collection should continue and remain as a valuable research potential. Instead, it is now in the process of being divided and spread to various museums. Despite the fact that the collection has been internationally known and visited by researchers from all over the world, the board of the institute does not want to maintain bioanthropological activity as a research field at the University of Oslo anymore.

The Law in the Internet of Things Era between Created Opportunities and Vulnerabilities
Authors:   Faculty of Law, ‘Bogdan Voda’ University of Cluj Napoca, Ban Tiberiu T.
Published: September 2024

In the context of computerization and automation of most economic sectors and private life, the increase in the number of attacks on computer systems that expose personal data to unauthorized persons is alarming. It started from a hypothesis already validated in the specialized literature that properly designed security policies and procedures can prevent attacks exploiting known vulnerabilities to a satisfactory extent. However, their simple existence is not enough, these security policies and procedures must be adapted to the specifics of each computer system, with the appropriate legal support. We followed a transdisciplinary analysis that combines elements of informatics and legal regulations regarding the opportunities and vulnerabilities of smart devices, face to face with the criminal phenomenon of cyber crime aimed at the security and confidentiality of personal data. The main objective of the present study is to identify and extract ‘lessons learned’ regarding vulnerabilities of the Internet of Things type information systems. These ‘good practices’ allow the development of procedures and security policies useful in preventing computer attacks criminalized as the crime of unauthorized access to a computer system.

The unlicensed National Information Infrastructure radio band (n77, n78, and n46) is taken into consideration for this research work's "Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO)" antenna with dual band features. Gradually, the form design of simple single-patch MIMO antennas gives way to four-element MIMO antennas. Four microstrip antennas are integrated using button-like circular caps on the main patches. Reduced ground is also used in the construction of many band characteristics. Excellent isolation can be achieved by using Rectangular Metallic Strip (RMS). The suggested MIMO antenna has the advantage of covering two significant frequency bands. At 3.07 GHz and 6.31 GHz, the antenna system resonates with a total bandwidth of 2.43 GHz. The antenna design uses a FR4 substrate measuring 35 mm by 49 mm by 1.6 mm in thickness. For simulation purposes, Teflon and a specially made SMA connector with a perfect electrical conductor (PEC) are used to enhance impedance matching. An 8.2 mm feed line with an inset feed is also utilized. Research and investigation are conducted on radiation properties, including mean effective gain, envelope correction coefficient, reflection coefficient, and more. Both the reflection and isolation coefficients have values of less than -10 dB, with the former being less than -15 dB. It is a 16.30 dB increase overall. 5G applications will greatly benefit from having this smaller, four-element MIMO antenna.
Land Tenure, Access to Credit, and Agricultural Performance of Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries, Farmer-beneficiaries, and Other Rural Workers
Authors: Galang Ivory Myka
Published: September 2024

Credit programs have been long viewed as salient means to develop the Philippine agriculture sector, especially small-farm agriculture. From subsidized directed, credit programs in the country have become more market-oriented in recent years. However, there have been little to no studies examining how access to credit affects the agricultural performance of poor agricultural producers, including the beneficiaries of the agrarian reform program. Using primary data from the Department of Agrarian Reform’s Baseline Survey on Project Convergence on Value Chain Enhancement for Rural Growth and Empowerment, this study analyzes the borrowing incidence among Agrarian Reform Beneficiary Organization (ARBO) member households, particularly those engaged in farm production. The results show that (1) borrowing ARBO agricultural households are better off than the nonborrowing ones in terms of housing characteristics and agricultural performance; (2) farmer associations and cooperatives are among the top sources of agricultural credit in the countryside aside from microfinance institutions; (3) and Certificate of Land Ownership Award-holding ARBO agricultural households have higher borrowing incidence than the average ARBO agricultural households. Thus, to further improve credit retailers’ lending performance and reach in the countryside, the study recommends giving leadership and management capacity training.
Harnessing the Opportunities in Services Trade under RCEP: Perspectives from the Philippines
Authors: Rivera John Paolo , Tullao Tereso
Published: September 2024

This study investigates how the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) can deepen the contributions of trade in services in the Philippine economy through the commitments made and limitations imposed. It reviews and assesses the specific commitments of ASEAN's free trade agreement partners joining the RCEP in terms of trade in services, particularly on market access and national treatment. These commitments were compared, and their relevance was evaluated to the needs of the Philippines to determine the benefits it can reap from RCEP. The analysis suggests that the RCEP is a marginal regional trading arrangement that should be viewed as a compilation of previous regional trading agreements for key economies in the Asia-Pacific region. Because of the additional commitments made by the signatory economies, specific opportunities in trade in services may be valuable for the Philippines. However, challenges exist in the form of market access and national treatment limitations, which the Philippines must view as an opportunity to enhance its domestic productivity.

Como es sobradamente conocido, el reto demográfico y la igualdad de género son dos de las políticas públicas que mayor progreso han experimentado en los últimos años en cualquier Estado democrático, tendencia a la que no ha sido ajena la praxis institucional española. A este respecto, conviene recordar que la integración de la perspectiva de género en la actuación de los distintos poderes públicos es un principio del ordenamiento jurídico y como tal debe observarse y aplicarse en la interpretación de las normas jurídicas, también en aquellas dirigidas a la dinamización socioeconómica del ámbito rural. Conscientes de que las cuestiones de reto demográfico son necesariamente una cuestión de género, en los últimos años el conjunto de las Administraciones públicas ha diseñado e implementado una amplia amalgama de políticas públicas, con efectos dispares, para institucionalizar la perspectiva de género en el ámbito rural español, conocedoras de que ello representa un presupuesto esencial para fortalecer la cohesión social y territorial. Sentadas estas premisas, la obra colectiva que ahora tiene en sus manos pretende esbozar un conjunto de propuestas tangibles e innovadoras que permitan visibilizar la impagable labor que las mujeres rurales vienen desempeñando desde épocas pretéritas en el seno de las comunidades rurales, al tiempo que constituye un manifiesto que aboga abiertamente por el arraigo de la igualdad real y efectiva en estos territorios rurales tradicionalmente olvidados.

Published: September 2024

Background:Cardiovascular complications are  predominant cause of global morbidity and mortality,  dyslipidemia and inflammation representing  critical risk factors contributing to their prevalence. Objective: The purpose of this research was to determine the Lipid Profile levels and inflammatory biomarkers as risk predictors for the cardiac complications and also to compare the clinical results of patients with normal and abnormal lipid profile. Methodology: The present study was A case-control study conducted over 12 months involving 400 patients who were selected and divided into two groups. Group- A with normal lipid profile and Group B with dyslipidaemia. The biomarkers for Serum lipid profiles were included blood serum levels of LDL, HDL, triglycerides, Cholesterol and for inflammations, CRP and IL-6 were tested. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 27.0 using paired and independent t-tests, MANOVA, and Pearson correlation statistical tests.p≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Group B showed a high percentage of cardiac complications 28 % as compared to group A with only 10% of complications (p<0.01). It was found that LDL-C, HDL-C, and CRP are the good predictors of cardiac events. There was a decrease in LDL-C in Group B (p < 0.001) after statin treatment; however, the inflammatory markers were still high in Group B, which implies that they still posed cardiovascular risk. The Pearson correlation analysis revealed positive correlation between increased CRP and cardiac complications and increased LDL-C and cardiac complications; r= 0. 62; r = 0. 57 respectively. Conclusion: High LDL-C, low HDL-C and high CRP values serve as accurate indicators of cardiac diseases. Although, implementation of lipid-lowering therapy successfully lowered the LDL-C level, persistent inflammation was a factor that maintained cardiovascular risk.

Published: September 2024

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a very common medical complication connected with regurgitation of the gastric contents into the esophagus which caused heartburn and esophageal irritation. Objectives: The objective of this research was to assess practicality of diet and lifestyle changes in the management of GERD in local population. Pharmacotherapy remains the mainstay of management of GERD; however, diet and lifestyle changes have emerged as popular non-pharmacological interventions.  Methodology: An observational study was conducted on 200 patients with GERD. Participants were divided into two groups: Group A received standard pharmacological treatment, while Group B received a structured diet and lifestyle modification program in addition to pharmacological management. Lifestyle changes included avoiding heartburn-triggering foods such as spicy meals, caffeine, and fatty foods, along with weight reduction, smoking cessation, and increased sleeping height. The effectiveness of the treatments was assessed based on symptom severity, endoscopic findings, and inflammatory biomarkers over 12 months. SPSS version 26.0 was used for statistical analysis, employing paired and independent t-tests for continuous variables and chi-square tests for categorical data. Results were considered significant at p ≤ 0.05. Results: Group B showed a significant reduction in symptom severity (35%) compared to Group A (20%) (p < 0.001). Endoscopy revealed better healing in Group B (70% vs. 50%, p = 0.02). Weight loss and smoking cessation positively influenced outcomes. Conclusion: Diet and lifestyle modifications, combined with medical management, positively impact GERD outcomes in the local population.

Published: September 2024

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is known to double the risk of postoperative complications because of weak immunity and compromised healing. Objectives: To analyse the rate of postoperative complications among diabetic and non-diabetic patients who have undergone appendectomy to determine whether the level of diabetes management has an impact on wound healing. Methodology: A prospective study was done on n=300 patients who were diagnosed with acute appendicitis and were scheduled to undergo appendectomy; of which n=150 patients had diabetes type-2 and n=150 were non- diabetics.  Concerning adverse outcomes, the incidence of  surgical site infections (SSIs), prolonged healing of the surgical site, and the number of days spent in the hospital after the operation were identified. Diabetes mellitus was defined based on self-reported diagnosis and glycemic control was evaluated using HbA1c level with the cut-off of >7%. Chi-square and t-tests were used in the analysis of data while multivariate logistic regression was used to assess predictors of complications. p≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Diabetic patients had a higher incidence of surgical site infections, 15.3% and 5.3%, p= 0.007 for diabetic and non-diabetic patient respectively and delayed wound healing 10.7% and 3. 3%, p = 0.015 for diabetic and non-diabetic patients respectively. Patients with HbA1c > 7% had a higher rate of SSIs of 21. 8 % and delayed healing of 15.4% compared well-controlled diabetics (p = 0.009 and p=0.02 respectively). It was more prolonged in the diabetic patients (6.1 as against 4. 3 days, p<0.001). Diabetes was found to be an independent risk factor for SSIs and slow wound healing. Conclusion: Diabetic patients who have undergone appendectomy were more susceptible to SSIs and slow healing of the wound especially if their blood glucose levels were not well controlled. It is possible that enhanced perioperative glycemic control can decrease postoperative adverse effects.

Berat Kulon, Kemlagi District is one of the villages that has the potential for the best TPS 3R asset management in Mojokerto Regency, which was originally able to rise with the large amount of waste in the operation of Village Assets, namely TPS 3R. Precisely since the Corona pandemic in early 2020, there has been a spike in the amount of waste in this village which then resulted in piles of garbage everywhere, however, there are also small groups of residents who take advantage of this momentum to increase the economic income of residents around Berat Kulo Village, one of which is by managing waste into handicrafts in the form of bags, but this business did not have time to develop, after the pandemic, residents returned to sugar cane farming which has indeed been very much pursued by residents. The purpose of this service is to emphasize building awareness of empowering Human Resources (HR) through the operation of TPS 3R Assets. Utilizing the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, the results of the community service are 1) Implementation of human resource empowerment for the operation of TPS 3R Assets and 2) Assistance in the operation of TPS 3R Assets through, a) Waste Management Education Seminar through TPS 3R, b) Implementation of the August 17th competition in the context of environmental cleanliness creativity, c) Procurement of garbage signs, and d) Procurement of garbage bins.
Incorporating Artificial Intelligence,Tai Chi and Qigong into a Gynecology & Obstetrics Practice:Some Recent Case Studies
Authors: W. McGee Robert
Published: September 2024

This study uses Microsoft Copilot, an artificial intelligence chat bot, to generate nonprofessional useful information regarding the use of tai chi and qigong, Chinese medical techniques, that can be incorporated in a gynecology and obstetrics medical practice. It then goes to the PubMed database to search for studies that have incorporated qigong or tai chi into their breast cancer treatment program. The study concluded that both artificial intelligence and Chinese medical techniques such as tai chi and qigong have a bright future in obstetric and gynecology practices.

Abstract: This article explores how organizations can establish a culture of continuous learning to help unlock their full potential. The article begins by defining continuous learning and outlining its benefits at both the individual and organizational levels based on research. It then discusses essential components for creating a true continuous learning environment, including leadership support, structured processes, goal planning, and hands-on approaches. Practical strategies are provided for integrating continuous learning depending on industry context, such as technology, manufacturing, healthcare and marketing. The author argues that cultivating a culture where ongoing learning is ingrained will empower individuals, teams and the overall business to adapt, improve and thrive.
Design and Synthesis of Biodegradable Polymeric Nanoparticles for Targeted Delivery of Chemotherapeutics in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Authors: Ahmed Mohammed Abduljabbar
Published: September 2024

Type three breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive form of breast cancer that lacks targeted therapies, leading to poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options The development of biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) provides find a promising strategy for targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs to reduce systemic toxicity , enhancing therapeutic efficacy This review focuses on the design and synthesis of biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles for targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic agents in TNBC. Polymeric nanoparticles were synthesized from biocompatible and biodegradable materials, ensuring safe degradation and excretion from the body. Nanoparticles are engineered to encapsulate and release therapeutics in a controlled manner, specifically targeting TNBC cells. Surface modification of nanoparticles with targeting ligands is used to enhance selective binding of TNBC cell receptors, improve drug delivery efficiency, and reduce off-target effects Dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning to evaluate physicochemical properties, morphology, and drug release profiles a synthesized nanoparticles Microscopic examination (SEM). ), characterization methods including drug excretion testing were used. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated increased cellular uptake, targeted drug delivery, and significant cytotoxicity of nanoparticles against TNBC cells, with decreased toxicity to possessing cells healthy The findings suggest that biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles have great potential as targeted therapeutic platforms for TNBC provide. Further optimization and clinical studies are needed to translate this approach into viable treatments for patients with TNBC.
Late Middle Palaeolithic and Early Upper Palaeolithic in Poland in the light of new numerical dating

Published: September 2024

Although the first numerical dating of Middle and Upper Palaeolithic sites in Poland was applied at the beginning of the second half of the 20th century, it has only been in the last two decades that a data increase has been recorded, making it possible to discuss both the development of human behaviour and cultural phenomena in time perspective. This paper aims to show the chronological diversity of sites dating from the beginning of the Weichselian glaciation (MIS 5a – MIS 5d, GI-19 – GI-23, Greenland Interstadials) to the middle part of MIS 3 (GI-8 – GI-10). We considered sites dated mainly by thermoluminescence dating (OSL) and radiocarbondating. We relied on a series of recent datings. We attempted to analyse the stratigraphic integrity, the archaeological finds and the numerical dating results. Through OSL dating, we could establish the chronology of Micoquian sites, previously regarded as middle Pleistocene, to the last glaciation. The dating compilation also shows that the Late Middle Palaeolithic and Early Upper Palaeolithic (EUP) sites are unlikely to overlap, or if they do, it is only over a small period. Unfortunately, this period is poorly interpreted because it spans the limit of the radiocarbon dating reliability and goes beyond the bounds of the calibration curve. Confronting the datings of the Lincombian-Ranisian-Jerzmanowician (LRJ) complex and the oldest finds associated with Aurigniacian sites in Poland lead to the conclusion that these sites may have co-occurred for some time.
L’avenir des écrans de Mauro Carbone
Authors: Ferretti Giulia
Published: September 2024

La pandémie de
COVID-19 a consacré la place centrale des écrans dans notre époque.
Assurant la protection et les interactions à une période historique où
la prévention de la contagion était primordiale, les écrans ont été
légitimés comme garants et organisateurs de la vie privée et publique de
millions de personnes. Face à cette légitimation, L’avenir des
écrans rassemble quatorze contributions issues de différentes
disciplines – de la philosophie à la théorie des médias, des études
cinématographiques à la théologie – réfléchissant aux rôles et aux
formes que prendront les écrans dans l’avenir. La centralité des écrans
sur notre façon de percevoir, d’imaginer, d’agir et de vivre le corps,
la sphère sociale et politique est ainsi étudiée à partir de points de
vue inédits, divers et complémentaires.

Paul Kawczak
est écrivain, docteur en littérature, chargé de cours et éditeur aux
éditions La Peuplade. Le 25 avril 2022, les participants et
participantes du projet de recherche « Le récit de voyage à l’ère
numérique. Tentative d’épuisement de l’autoroute Nord-Sud (Gaspé et
Miami) » ont eu l’occasion de le rencontrer lors d’un entretien mené par
Rachel LaRoche, doctorante en littératures de langue française. À partir
du roman Ténèbre, pour lequel l’auteur a obtenu de nombreux
prix, la discussion a porté sur les sujets du rapport au canon
littéraire et à la création, de la production de l’espace, et de
l’écriture romanesque. Au travers d’une réflexion sur la découpe des
frontières et des corps, présente dans le texte, Kawczak et LaRoche
interrogent également dans cet entretien les résonances entre la
violence coloniale et la violence contemporaine des états.
Trouver son peuple
Authors: Chapuis Maxime
Published: September 2024

À la lumière du travail du philosophe Guy Lardreau (1947-2008) et de son expérience de l'engagement politique au sein de la Gauche Prolétarienne, nous examinons les apories de la notion amphibologique de peuple, entre liberté et totalitarisme, révolte et soumission.
