Authors: Areepong Yupaporn , Sukparungsee Saowanit , Anusas-Amornkul Tanapat
Published: March 2024

Quality control is an essential process for manufacturing and industry because it enhances product quality, consumer satisfaction, and overall profitability. Among many other statistical process control tools, quality practitioners typically employ control charts to monitor the industrial process and detect production changes. Control charts are widely used to detect flaws in many applications, such as distributed circuits and systems, electronic devices, and systems and signals. In this study, we derived an explicit formula for Average Run Length (ARL) of the Homogenously Weighted Moving Average control chart (HWMA) under the ARMA (p,q) process. The accuracy was checked using the numerical integral equation (NIE) technique. The finding showed that the explicit formulas and numerical solutions presented an outstanding level of agreement. However, the computational time for the explicit formulas was approximately one second, which was less than that required for the NIE. Moreover, the performance efficiency of the HWMA control chart is compared with the cumulative sum control chart for ARMA (p, q) processes including ARMA (2,1), ARMA (2,3), and ARMA (1,1) processes. The results found that the HWMA control chart performance is found to be preferable to the CUSUM control chart performance. Additionally, the explicit formula of the HWMA control chart was implemented in a practical application of the count of nonconformities in printed circuit boards (PCBs).
Analytical Solutions of the Blasius Equation by Perturbation Iteration Method
Authors: Pakdemirli Mehmet
Published: March 2024

The Blasius equation is treated by employing the Perturbation Iteration method. Analytical solutions are derived for different perturbation iteration algorithms. Solutions are contrasted with the numerical solution obtained by an adaptive step size Runge-Kutta algorithm. It is found that the series type perturbation iteration solution better represents the behavior inside the boundary layer whereas the exponentially decaying perturbation iteration solution better represents the real solution outside the boundary layer. A composite expansion uniting both solutions and valid over the whole region is constructed using the gamma interval functions. The composite analytical solution is indistinguishable from the numerical one and can replace the numerical solution in calculations.

Autonomy or control?  A case study in an organization striving to increase self-management
In many organizations increasing self-management is a new way of working. The case organization of this study is a Finnish financial services organization with about 100 employees. We use qualitative interview data to explore the commonalities and contradictions in the interpretations of employees and management in an organization that is in a process of adopting a more self-managed way of working. We also examine the implementation of the basic assumptions of Self-Determination Theory in today's organizational environment. We approach the issue from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Our analysis shows that self-management in the target organization is initiated and controlled by management, which sets strict limits but allows only a certain amount of freedom. Our case study provides both theoretical and practical insights into the discussion of the process of increasing self-management.

Optimizing prediction models for pancreatic fistula after pancreatectomy: Current status and future perspectives
Authors: Yang Feng , Windsor John A , Fu De-Liang
Published: March 2024

Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a frequent complication after pancreatectomy, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Optimizing prediction models for POPF has emerged as a critical focus in surgical research. Although over sixty models following pancreaticoduodenectomy, predominantly reliant on a variety of clinical, surgical, and radiological parameters, have been documented, their predictive accuracy remains suboptimal in external validation and across diverse populations. As models after distal pancreatectomy continue to be progressively reported, their external validation is eagerly anticipated. Conversely, POPF prediction after central pancreatectomy is in its nascent stage, warranting urgent need for further development and validation. The potential of machine learning and big data analytics offers promising prospects for enhancing the accuracy of prediction models by incorporating an extensive array of variables and optimizing algorithm performance. Moreover, there is potential for the development of personalized prediction models based on patient- or pancreas-specific factors and postoperative serum or drain fluid biomarkers to improve accuracy in identifying individuals at risk of POPF. In the future, prospective multicenter studies and the integration of novel imaging technologies, such as artificial intelligence-based radiomics, may further refine predictive models. Addressing these issues is anticipated to revolutionize risk stratification, clinical decision-making, and postoperative management in patients undergoing pancreatectomy.

CHINESE AMBITIOUS STRIVE TO LEAD A NEW WORLD ORDER AND ITS IMPLICATION FOR THE AFRICAN CONTINENT
Authors: VALENTINE FELIX Dr. AMIEYEOFORI
Published: March 2024

The World is presently undergoing two critical transitions – the energy transition to net zero emissions, which has become a topic of great concerns because of the existential threat to humanity, and a possible geopolitical world order transition from the Western-dominated Bretton wood system, to a multipolar, shared future model orchestrated by China and its allies. China has become a fierce contender of the global leadership with a mantra for a change from the American led World Order, having itself benefited immensely from the Bretton wood institutions under the American hegemony. With its economic growth and technological advancement, China is now championing a new world order, and many countries are already aligning with this vision, especially as China provides huge economic support in the form of loans and through its One Belt One Road Initiatives, which, without doubt has benefited some countries on the African continent. China’s call is also clearly heard in the formation and rapid expansion of BRICS Group, which has also been welcome by other countries, as a platform to break free from the Western hegemony. That notwithstanding, China generous infrastructural project, has in most cases been branded as a debt trap, and this is where it is important for Africa to be more careful and detailed when negotiating any debt with China. Africa must also remain unaligned in view of the current scramble by both Western and Eastern Powers for its natural resources to fuel their energy demands, especially for rare earth minerals for the energy transition technologies. Africa must visibly wear its Africana Agenda in any fora to protect its political and economic sovereignty, while dealing with its Western and Eastern suitors for its resources.

日本のキャリア教育状況に関する研究 : キャリア･パスポートを中心に
Authors:   The Society of Korea and Japan Education, Shin Hyun-Jung
Published: March 2024

この研究は、日本の主要なキャリア教育政策の一つである「キャリア･パスポート」プログラムの有用性と課題を中心に、日本のキャリア教育の現状を考察した。「キャリア･パスポート」は、小学校から高校までのキャリア教育に関連するさまざまな活動に参加する学生を対象としており、主に特別活動、学級活動、ホームルーム活動などを中心に各教科と交流しながら、自分の学習状況と進路形成を予測し、振り返りながら、自身の変化と成長を自己評価できるように設計されたポートフォリオである。「キャリア･パスポート」の最も大きな特徴は、持続性に基づく連携性であり、その連携性は①各学年の学校（小･中･高）との連携性、②地域との連携性、③他の教科との連携性に細分化できる。これらの事実から、日本のキャリア教育は、縦のキャリア教育と横のキャリア教育の調和を通じて、生涯にわたるキャリア教育を追求していることが明らかになった。
そして、「キャリア･パスポート」の特徴と有用性を調査したデータを分析した結果、「キャリア･パスポート」はキャリア教育において非常に多岐にわたる効果が確認されているにも関わらず、現在の「キャリア･パスポート」の波及効果はまだ期待に達していない水準である。したがって、「キャリア･パスポート」の必要性と有用性に対する教師たちの幅広い共感を形成するための努力や、「キャリア･パスポート」の積極的な活用を促進するための教師研修などを実施すれば、各学年の教育課程内で学生理解と進路指導のための意味ある活動として確実に位置づけることができるだろう。
日本のキャリア教育が小･中･高の学校間の縦的な連携と他の教科との連携、地域社会との連携など、横的な連携の調和を追求することによって、学生が自分の進路発達に対して深い専門性と広い視野を同時に持つことをサポートしているところは韓国のキャリア教育に大きな示唆を与えている。
This study examines the current state of career education in Japan, with a focus on the effectiveness and issues of the Career Passport program, which is one of the key career education policies in Japan. The Career Passport is designed for students participating in various activities related to career education from elementary school to high school, primarily engaging in special activities, classroom activities, and homeroom activities. It serves as a portfolio that allows students to predict and reflect on their learning situations and career development, as well as self-evaluate their changes and growth. The most significant feature of the Career Passport lies in its continuity-based connectivity, which can be further subdivided into ① connectivity with schools at each grade level (elementary, middle, and high school), ② connectivity with the local community, and ③ connectivity with other subjects. Through these facets, it is evident that Japan's career education aims for lifelong career education through the harmonization of vertical and horizontal career education.
Despite the confirmed effectiveness of Career Passport in various aspects of career education based on the analysis of data investigating its features and usefulness, the ripple effects of the current program are still below expectations. Therefore, efforts to form a broad consensus among teachers regarding the necessity and usefulness of the Career Passport, as well as initiatives such as teacher training to promote its active utilization, could firmly establish it as a meaningful activity for student un

The perfume and cosmetics industry heavily relies on quality raw materials, particularly Sandalwood oil, known for its unique scent and importance in various products. The presence of a reliable Sandalwood oil distillation industry is crucial for meeting industry demands. However, determining the price of Sandalwood wood faces challenges due to quality variations influenced by factors like geographical origin and processing methods. We have proposed a 30/100 classification system developed by CV. Suraya Nirmala and UPT Laboratorium Terpadu of Universitas Nusa Cendana. The aim of this research is to determine the sandalwood oil content of several raw materials with a 30/100 classification system as a basis for determining the price of these raw materials. The classification method involves categorizing sandalwood into four classes (30, 60, 90, and 100) based on visual observations of the brown heartwood area on the cross-section of the wood sample. The comparative analysis of Sandalwood oil volume indicates variations in oil content among the different classes of Sandalwood wood samples. Sandalwood wood class 90 exhibits a 57.49% Sandalwood oil content compared to class 100. Sandalwood wood class 60 demonstrates a 33.44% Sandalwood oil content compared to class 100. Sandalwood wood class 30 showcases a 19.86% Sandalwood oil content compared to class 100. These findings serve as a reference for determining the pricing of Sandalwood wood as raw material in the Sandalwood oil distillation industry. The price of class 100 serves as the Highest Base Price (Hd), with class 90 priced at 0.5749Hd, class 60 at 0.3344Hd, and class 30 at 0.1986Hd.

HOW DO DIFFERENT FORMS OF DIGITALIZATION AFFECT INCOME INEQUALITY?
Authors: Au Anson
Published: March 2024

This article examines how different forms of digitalization affect inequality in Europe. Using a cross-national dataset of economic development and digitalization across a range of regression specifications including country and time fixed effects, this article explores the heterogeneous relationships of disparate forms of digitalization – human capital, broadband connectivity, integration of digital technology into small and medium enterprises, and digital public services – with income inequality. Fixed country and time effects models show that only the digitalization of human capital and integration of digital technology by SMEs are associated with decreases in income inequality. Causal mediation analysis reveals that tertiary education, despite its oft-cited connection to digital technology uptake, has no causal effect on the pathways through which digitalization of labour and SME operations lower inequality, which are direct. The findings tentatively suggest that there exist informal sources of digital skills training apart from formal tertiary education and point to SMEs as a potentially impactful area for investing in digitalization as pathways for income redistribution.
MEASURING THE EFFECT OF ENTRY INTO THE EUROZONE ON ECONOMIC GROWTH – DATA STORYTELLING USING CLUSTERING AND ANFIS
Authors: Bosna Jurica , Brlečić Valčić Sonja , Peša Anita
Published: March 2024

The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of a country’s entry into the monetary union on its economic variables growth rate of real GDP as well as on GDP per capita growth for the period from 2010 to 2020. The clustering method and the ANFIS method were used in the data analysis. A total of two cluster analyses were performed. The first cluster includes countries that joined the EU in 2004 and became EZ members by 2010. The second cluster refers to those countries that joined the EU in 2004 but are not yet members of the EZ. For the first individual cluster analysis two models were analysed and for the second individual cluster three models were analysed using the ANFIS method. As expected, the results showed that GDP growth is connected with trade, inflation and gross investments in fixed capital in the observed countries, while GDP per capita is connected with unemployment, interest rates and public debt. With regard to GDP growth, the difference between countries that are in the eurozone and those that are not is not significant, which is in line with other studies.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma parvum have been recently linked to sexually transmitted diseases and other conditions. There are a limited number of studies conducted on South African pregnant women that have assessed the prevalence and risk factors for genital mycoplasmas.
Methodology: This study included 264 HIV infected pregnant women attending the King Edward VIII antenatal clinic in eThekwini, South Africa. DNA was extracted using the PureLink Microbiome kit and pathogens were detected using the TaqMan Real-time PCR assays. The statistical data analysis was conducted in a freely available Statistical Computing Environment, R software, version 3.6.3 using the RStudio platform.
Results: The prevalence of M. hominis and U. parvum, was 215/264 (81.4%), and 203/264 (76.9%), respectively. In the M. hominis positive group, a significantly (p = 0.004) higher proportion, 80.5% tested positive for U. parvum infection when compared to 61.2% among the M. hominis negative. Of the U. parvum positive women, a significantly (p = 0.004) higher proportion of women (85.2%) tested positive for M. hominis when compared to 68.9% among the U. parvum negative. In the unadjusted and adjusted analysis, being M. hominis positive increased the risk for U. parvum by approximately 3 times more (p = 0.014) and 4-fold (p = 0.008), respectively.
Conclusions: This study showed a significant link between M. hominis and U. parvum infection. To date, there are a limited number of studies that have investigated M. hominisbeing a risk factor for U. parvum infection. Therefore, the data presented in the current study now fills in this gap in the literature.

Published: March 2024

Magnusiomyces capitatus (M. capitatus) is an emerging opportunistic yeast, rarely found as a causal agent of invasive fungal infection. In this study, we report a 31-year-old man infected with M. capitatus in the oral cavity, with a history of heroin and amphetamine abuse. M. capitatus was isolated through culture and microscopic analysis and identified by PCR amplification of the ITS DNA region. Based on the in vitro antifungal susceptibility test, the lowest MICs for M. capitatus were recorded for nystatin, itraconazole, and amphotericin, while higher MICs were observed for caspofungin and fluconazole. Treatment with nystatin successfully eliminated M. capitatus and relieved the clinical symptoms. This study presents the first case of M. capitatus in a patient with substance use disorder, manifesting as a plaque-like ulcer in the oral cavity.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects physical and mental health of patients. This study aimed to investigate the psychological distress, level of hope, and the role of families of patients with COVID-19 in the Fangcang shelter hospital (FSH) and explore potential influencing factors.
Methodology: We conducted an online observational cross-sectional study on 397 patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 from two FSH in Shanghai, China from 12 April to 16 May 2022. The questionnaire included demographic information, distress thermometer (DT), family adaptation, partnership, growth, affection, resolve (APGAR) index, and the Herth hope index (HHI).
Results: The patients reported symptoms of severe psychological distress (n = 109, 27.46%) and low levels of family care (n = 152, 38.29%). More than half of the patients (n = 244, 61.46%) exhibited high levels of hope, and around one-third of the patients (n = 151, 38.04%) reported moderate levels of hope. The study noted a significant negative correlation between the scores for psychological distress and APGAR and a significant positive correlation between the scores for APGAR and HHI (p < 0.05). The FSH living experience, diet, and symptoms of COVID-19 were closely associated with psychological distress among patients (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: Patients with COVID-19 living in the FSH reported high levels of symptoms of psychological distress and low levels of family care, but relatively high levels of hope.

Introduction: Extensively drug resistant (XDR) strains of the Salmonella lineages have been reported to spread from Africa to South Asia. XDR strains are resistant to fluoroquinolones, chloramphenicol, co-trimoxazole, and ampicillin, resulting in treatment failure. The objectives of this study included the investigation of transmission of S. Typhi lineages and the identification of the potentially contaminated sources of the XDR typhoid outbreak from different urban areas by using molecular techniques.
Methodology: Environmental samples, including food samples, were collected from different towns and the susceptibility of each isolate to the antimicrobial agents was examined. Molecular identification of different Salmonella lineages including S. Typhi, S. Paratyphi A, H58, and XDR was carried out through multiplex PCR.
Results and Conclusions: A total of 328 environmental samples including raw vegetables, water, and bakery items were collected. More than half of the tested samples (64%) found harboring Salmonella spp. The Salmonella was confirmed through PCR amplification of species-specific markers that showed the presence of S. Typhi (40%), S. Paratyphi A (8%), H58 (7%), and XDR S. Typhi (6%). Raw vegetables had the highest number of Salmonella spp., indicating consumption of raw vegetables as a possible source of salmonellosis. XDR status was also affirmed through phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
A GIS Methodology for Mapping Regional and Community Vitality for Canada using the CanEcumene 3.0 Geodatabase with Census Data
Authors: Eddy Brian
Published: March 2024

Many ecosystem-based management (EBM) applications require integrating geospatial information about socio-economic conditions of human populated areas within a study area. However, integrating socio-economic data in such a way that it can be related to ecological data is not a trivial process due to issues associated with spatial representation between socio-economic data frameworks, and natural patterns in ecological data. In Canada, this problem is particularly challenging given its large geographic size, diversity of environments, and highly irregular population distribution. Although several indices have been developed for Canada related to well-being and vulnerability, their application for EBM applications is limited. This article presents a GIS-based methodology for mapping regional and community vitality index (RVI/CVI) for Canada using standard Census data integrated with the CanEcumene 3.0 Geospatial Database (GDB). The method uses percentile ranks of five sub-indicators of vitality derived from eight primary Census variables. Results reveal a number of notable patterns and trends in socio-economic conditions across the country and across different types of communities and regions.
On Ypsolopha micromoths (Lepidoptera, Ypsolophidae) associated with Adesmia shrubs (Fabaceae) in the arid western slope of the central Andes
Authors: Vargas Héctor A.
Published: March 2024

Ypsolopha Latreille, 1796 (Lepidoptera, Ypsolophidae) is a genus comprised mostly of Holarctic micromoth species with a fairly broad range of larval hosts (e.g. Aceraceae, Rosaceae, and Fagaceae). The only previous record of herbivory on a representative of the South American genus Adesmia DC. (Fabaceae) was based on the discovery of Ypsolopha moltenii Vargas, 2018 larvae feeding on Adesmia verrucosa Meyen in the Andes of northern Chile. Further surveys revealed Adesmia atacamensis Phil. as another host for Y. moltenii, and Adesmia spinosissima Meyen as the single host of Ypsolopha sp. The genetic distance between DNA barcodes of the two micromoth species was 7.9–8.1% (K2P). These results suggest narrow host ranges for Adesmia-feeding Ypsolopha and highlight the need to further explore the taxonomic diversity of these micromoths in other South American environments.
First, Seek to Understand: Deconstructing the Concept of Poverty for Nursing Education
Authors: Lee Rebecca , Bauer Misty
Published: March 2024

Poverty, an important social determinant of health, is a multifaceted issue that impacts the health of individuals, families, and communities. People who live in impoverished communities have limited access to many necessary resources. This deficit often results in increased risk for mental illness, chronic disease, higher mortality, and lower life expectancy and greater need for healthcare services. There is a call for nurse educators to provide multiple opportunities throughout curricula for students at all levels to develop competencies to assess and intervene in outcomes impacted by social determinants of health. Doing so requires a perspective of empathy, grounded in cultural humility, to advance health equity and advocate for persons facing challenges, such as those who experience poverty. This article provides an overview of poverty in the context of the social determinants and discusses strategically designed experiential learning experiences, such as simulations and community-academic partnerships. An exemplar of an interprofessional community-academic partnership is provided to illustrate an ongoing successful effort that has fostered a deeper understanding of the lived experience of poverty for students of nursing and other professions.

One concern that professionals with refugee status often face upon relocating to a different country is the process to secure a position that reflects the credentials and previous experience they bring from their former homeland. In Jordan, some refugees have the means to earn a living to support themselves and their families but live in poverty conditions due to the complexity of the process to vet their education and credentials that results in inability to gain professional employment in the new country. This article describes a descriptive qualitative study that explored challenges faced by refugee health professionals in their attempts to integrate into Jordan's labour market. We conducted individual semi structured interviews and/or focus group sessions with a sample of 16 refugee nurses. The nurses described their perceptions and experiences of being refugees and their challenges to find a professional nursing position. Qualitative content analysis led to seven emerging themes: legal issues, financial issues, working environment issues, education and professional issues, family issues, physical and mental health issues, and gender issues. This study was an important first step to understand the challenges hindering refugee health professionals' employment opportunities and access to the labour market. The findings suggest implications for practice related to promoting awareness, creating legal employment opportunities, and informing policy.
Fear in Nursing: The Heroes Perspective

Published: March 2024

Nurses encounter unique and substantial challenges in professional practice. Nurses remain at the forefront of care but struggle with work-related fears and risk exposure. These challenges have significantly increased during unprecedented social unrest and the global pandemic making nurses less safe than in previous years. Nurses' fears and risks include patient harm, changing healthcare environments, and psychological and physical harm. This study reveals nurses' fears and highlights the significance of fear on the individual nurse and the profession. Healthcare leaders, administrators, educators, and practitioners must work on creating a culture of preparedness, support, and protection for healthcare workers in all areas.

Cet article relate une situation autour de la prise en compte des émotions et de leur impact sur le soin. Il s’inspire d’une expérience personnelle en tant qu’infirmier en psychiatrie dans un centre médico-psychologique. Le soignant est alors amené à questionner ses affects positifs ou négatifs afin qu’ils ne nuisent pas à la relation soignant-soigné. Il en ressort que le professionnalisme et la démarche clinique n’excluent pas le travail émotionnel.

François Tosquelles répond à Maud Mannoni dans un article de L’information psychiatrique (1967). Elle lui demandait comment éviter les passages à l’acte de soignant·es angoissé·es par les enfants psychotiques. À travers une situation clinique dramatique, les autrices tentent de montrer les subtilités du travail en psychiatrie qui permettent de « déjouer les angoisses paranoïdes et de persécution, éveillées par le commerce thérapeutique avec les [patient·es] », comme dit si bien Tosquelles.
