Published: January 2025

Introduction:

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions (ACLrs) unfortunately can require revision ACLr, or contralateral ACLr may be indicated (together subsequent ACLr). This study aimed to examine the rate of and factors associated with returning to the same surgeon.

Methods:

Patients who underwent ACLr and subsequent ACLr within 3 years were abstracted from the PearlDiver database. Patient factors and surgical factors were examined. Factors independently associated with changing the surgeon were examined.

Results:

Overall, 63,582 ACLr patients were identified with 2,823 (4.4%) having a subsequent ACLr. These subsequent ACLrs were performed by the same surgeon for 1,329 (47.1%) and by a different surgeon for 1,494 (52.9%). Factors independently associated with changing surgeons were 90-day adverse events after index surgery (odds ratio [OR] 1.95), longer time to second surgery (OR 1.61), and second surgery on the ipsilateral knee (OR 1.28). Notably, sex, comorbidity, depression, psychoses, and insurance plan were not correlated with choosing changing surgeons.

Conclusion:

Over half of the patients who required a subsequent ACLr changed surgeons. Changing surgeons was associated with adverse events after index surgery, ipsilateral revisions, longer time to surgery, and patient age. However, there should be confidence that the other assessed factors were not associated with the decision to change surgeons.

These ecosystems comprise global partnerships united by supply chains financed by multinational institutions whose professional talent originates in universities. For these ecosystems to succeed, their individual components must operate as open systems shareable by each and developed according to a mutually agreed set of rules or standards. In this paper, we will present the developing ISO 56000 family of standards as serving to bring discipline into the global innovation ecosystem.
A Cybernetic Metric Approach to Course Preparation
Authors: Hendel Russell Jay
Published: January 2025

This paper reviews and unifies 15 papers and book chapters written by the author over the past decade. The paper shows that an underlying commonality of all the author's approaches to a wide variety of pedagogical problems relies on three pillars: (a) a cybernetic approach that is independent of discipline and does not rely on specific content areas, (b) direct referral to established processes of the mind, and (c) a metric approach whereby a new pedagogic tool is formulated in terms of measurement enabling newcomers to instantly apply the new method. These three pillars are useful in improving all aspects of course pedagogy: delivery, retention, performance, and satisfaction. The use of a metric approach is often superior (easier to implement) than traditional approaches; the appeal to direct processes of the mind supplements reliance on experiments and surveys which focus on methods rather than on their underlying psychological basis. The three pillars apply to such diverse areas as pedagogic challenge, syllabus construction, computer assisted instruction (CAI), dealing with hard course components, formulating challenging practice exercises, enriching syllabus modules, and defining levels of problem difficulty. The mental processes on which the theory is based are executive function, atomic habit formation, Stroop interference, controllability (attribution) theory, and self-efficacy.

THE OPERATION OF THE SECOND CHANCE SCHOOLS IN GREECE AS LEARNING ORGANIZATIONS: AN ASSESSMENT OF THE CURRENT SITUATION
Authors: Oikonomou Dr Konstantinos
Published: January 2025

This study examines how Second Chance Schools (SCS) in Greece function as Learning
Organizations (LOs) through the perspectives of SCS directors. Using interviews with directors,
the study identifies several critical barriers and enablers affecting the functionality of SCS as LO.
Findings reveal alignment between directors' views and previous research, emphasizing shared
challenges in effectively implementing LO practices due to limited professional development,
unstable staffing, and insufficient State support. Directors observe that the reliance on part-time,
under-resourced educators weakens school cohesion and diminishes LO potential, while
institutional frameworks often fail to support the transformative goals of SCS. Despite these
obstacles, directors remain cautiously optimistic, advocating for improved hiring practices, timely
funding, and stronger institutional support.
OUTDOOR AND DOCUMENTATION IN EARLY CHILDHOOD
Authors: Gottardo Monica , Restiglian Emilia
Published: January 2025

Increasingly, experiences in nature offered to children in educational contexts are gaining more attention as they are seen as experiences that promote children's protagonism and experiential learning. Furthermore, there are various positive effects found in adults and children who spend time in the open air (Giunti et al., 2023; Rickinson et al., 2004; Remmen & Iversen, 2023). In this sense, in early childhood facilities, pedagogical documentation constitutes a fundamental tool as it permits the valorisation of these experiences and thus of the learning, discoveries, and explorations of children who live in contact with the outdoor environment and with the materials found in nature. In fact, documentation is an educational practice and strategy that makes it possible to make children's learning and discovery processes visible, to narrate their experiences through the point of view of the adult, but also, and above all, of the children. Documentation is fundamental practice because it enables the promotion of a participatory culture in early childhood facilities through the involvement of all the actors who experience the educational reality (Edwards et al., 2017). What outdoor activities and experiences are promoted? What tools and ways can be used to trace the activities experienced by children in nature? What kind of documentation makes it possible to promote children's protagonism and to enhance learning processes in natural contexts? Starting from these references and questions that emerged, it was decided to undertake a systematic review of the literature to understand in the national and international context what research has been conducted on Outdoor Education experiences and how and with what strategies these experiences have been documented.

Published: January 2025

Technology-aided teaching approaches significantly enhance learners’ motivation in mathematics by fostering engagement, addressing diverse learning needs, and simplifying complex concepts. These strategies are vital in modern education as they promote interactive and meaningful learning experiences essential for developing mathematical skills. This study aimed to assess the use of technology-aided teaching approaches in mathematics among elementary teachers and their correlation with learners’ learning motivation in the San Felipe District, Schools Division of Zambales, during the School Year 2024-2025. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, data were collected from 89 elementary teacher respondents selected through simple random sampling. A validated researcher-designed questionnaire demonstrated excellent reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = .982 for teaching approaches and .974 for learning motivation). The majority of teachers were aged 30-39 years, predominantly female, assigned to intermediate grades, and held Teacher III positions with 10-19 years of service. They had attained master’s units and attended 1-2 training sessions in technology-aided teaching. Approaches such as play-based learning, math stations and centers, visual aids, manipulatives, and songs and rhymes were moderately consistent and evident. Learners’ motivation strategies, including providing choices, using real-life contexts, and celebrating successes, were positively consistent and frequently observed. No significant differences were noted between teaching approaches and teachers’ demographic profiles. However, a very high positive significant correlation was found between technology-aided teaching approaches and learners’ motivation, underscoring their impact on active learning. The findings highlight the need for more training and targeted interventions to enhance the use of these approaches. An Education 5.0-inspired instructional program was developed to refine teaching practices and further improve learners’ motivation, contributing actionable insights for optimizing mathematics instruction in elementary education.

Published: January 2025

A FIR filter is used in digital signal processing to      eliminate undesirable components or noise from a signal. In order to efficiently eliminate noise from the received channel data bits, this work presents the VLSI architecture of a Multi-Standard Digital Up Converter (DUC) based FIR filter. In the accumulation unit's existing architecture, carry skip addition was utilized. Shift add architecture is used in this proposed architecture to achieve an efficient adaptation delay, area, and power implementation.

     The architecture is designed using Carry look ahead adder, which is used in the accumulation unit. The results demonstrate that the proposed technique produces less area and power consumption than the existing DUC based RRC filter architecture. In this project, the suggested filter is implemented using the VERILOG programming language in Xilinx ise 14.7. In this project, the FIR filter's VERILOG coding is used, and simulation is used to view waveforms.

 The increasing need for high performance and low power DSP is a result of the multimedia applications' rapid expansion. The RRC digital filter is the primary component of a DSP system that is most frequently employed.

AI TO PREDICT ZERO DAY VULNERABILITIES
Authors:   Computer Engineering – Universal College of Engineering, Shinde Swarnil Sambhaji , Shivalkar Siddhesh Jaywant
Published: January 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds significant potential in predicting zero-day vulnerabilities—undisclosed software flaws that attackers exploit before they are identified or addressed by developers. These vulnerabilities pose a critical challenge to cybersecurity, as their detection often relies on reactive measures following an attack. By analyzing historical vulnerability data, AI and machine learning techniques can identify patterns and characteristics indicative of software components prone to zero-day vulnerabilities.

This predictive approach enables the early identification of high-risk areas within software systems, providing an opportunity to address potential threats proactively. AI-driven solutions can enhance traditional cybersecurity measures by shifting the focus from reactive detection to anticipatory defense. Such advancements in predictive capabilities not only reduce the risk of exploitation but also strengthen the overall resilience of digital ecosystems in an increasingly complex threat landscape.

Authors: Yılmaz İlkay , Karakuş Güzide
Published: January 2025

İklim değişikliğinin sonuçlarının giderek daha fazla hissedildiği günümüz şartlarında çevreye duyarlı üretim kavramının da önemi artmaktadır. Nüfus artışı ile birlikte mal ve hizmetlere yönelik ihtiyaçlar üretim kaynaklı çevresel etkileri arttırırken, çevresel tahribat geriye dönülmez bir hal alarak sürdürülebilirliğin tüm boyutlarını olumsuz etkilemeye devam etmektedir. Havacılık sektörü küresel turizm ve ticaretin gelişmesine katkı sunan en önemli hizmet endüstrilerinden biri olmak ile birlikte çevresel etkileri de en yüksek olan sektörlerden biridir. Sektör paydaşları, çevresel etkileri azaltmak doğrultusunda çeşitli alanlarda çalışmalar yürütüldüğünü beyan ederken akademik çalışmalarda da konunun önemine dikkat çekilerek araştırmaların geliştirilmesi tavsiye edilmektedir.
Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de havacılık alanında çevreye duyarlı hizmet üretimi kapsamında hayata geçirilen akademik çalışmaların incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu kapsamda yapılan incelemelerde belirlenen akademik yayınlar, içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. 2014-2023 yılları arasında yayımlanmış 14 makale ve 11 lisansüstü tez, toplam 25 çalışma ile araştırmanın örneklemi oluşturulmuştur. Örneklem kapsamındaki akademik çalışmalar; araştırmacıların üniversiteleri ve akademik birimlerine, yayın yıllarına, anabilim dallarına, anahtar kelimelerine, araştırma yöntemlerine ve araştırma kategorisine göre tasnif edilmiştir.
Araştırma sonucunda söz konusu çalışmaların ağırlıklı olarak sosyal bilimler alanında, havacılık yönetimi anabilim dalında hazırlandığı ve yıllar içerisinde çalışmaların sayısında artış olduğu, kirliliğin önlenmesi ve insan kaynaklarının gelişimi kategorilerinde çok sınırlı sayıda araştırma yapıldığı görülmüştür.

This study has investigated the perceptions of regional education administration directors concerning the role and influence of community participation in educational policymaking in Jordan. The qualitative descriptive-analytical approach was adopted in this research to study the leadership with over 15 years of experience through semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that school administrations largely permit only symbolic participation, as highlighted by 66.6% of respondents, while 58.4% expressed dissatisfaction with the Ministry's efforts to ensure meaningful involvement. The study underscores the critical need to strengthen community engagement in shaping inclusive and equitable policies that address societal needs. It proposes strategies such as establishing advisory councils, fostering transparency, and promoting inclusiveness in decision-making processes. By contributing to global discussions on participatory governance, the research directly aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal No. 4, which advocates for inclusive and equitable quality education. The recommendations chart a clear course for achieving transformative educational reform not only in Jordan but also in similar global contexts.

Authors: Nguyen Phan Quoc , Mai To Nhat
Published: January 2025

According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), universities are the cradles of creating new knowledge and technology, therefore, the management and exploitation of patent in higher education institutions plays a very important role in today's new context. Managing and exploiting patent brings many important benefits to lecturers, students, graduate students and scientists. It helps protect ideas and research from misappropriation, creates opportunities for commercialization and income from intellectual property rights protection, promotes collaboration and technology transfer, and enhances the university's reputation and brand. This article will help increase the university understanding and awareness of the importance of the governance and exploitation of patent as well as propose specific measures to help strengthen governance and exploitation activities.
Urban digital economy, business model innovation and corporate ESG performance: A industry chain upstream and downstream perspective
Authors: Zhang Shuhua
Published: January 2025

Vigorously developing the digital economy is a future national strategy of the Chinese government, and the sustainable development of the industrial chain is a future challenge for Chinese enterprises. The environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of enterprises is an important micro-indicator of sustainable development, which links the development of the digital economy with the safety of the industrial chain. In order to explore the mechanism and path of digital economy to enhance corporate ESG performance under the industry chain perspective, this paper conducts an empirical analysis with a sample of 4,482 listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen, China, from 2013 to 2022. The results of the study show that, first, the development of urban digital economy not only improves the ESG performance of enterprises in the jurisdiction but also enhances the overall ESG performance of the industry chain in which the enterprises are located. Second, the effect is significant in both the eastern and central and western samples, but there is heterogeneity in the nature of property rights, and the effect is more significant in the sample of state-owned enterprises. Third, although both green technological progress and business model innovation play a role in the influence mechanism in the transmission of the industrial chain, the influence of business model innovation is more significant in terms of size. This study complements the research on the relationship between digital economy and corporate ESG from the industry chain perspective.
