Higher Education Student Support Program Expansion: A Decade of Progress and Success for English as an Additional Language (EAL) and International Students
Authors: Choi Liza , Brochu Nadja
Published: May 2024

One method to support English as an additional language (EAL) students in higher education is through the development of an extracurricular support program catered to the specific academic and psychosocial needs of post-secondary EAL students within an individual faculty. In 2009, the Mount Royal University (MRU) EAL Nursing Student Support Program (NSSP) was created to support the EAL student population within MRU's Bachelor of Nursing (BN) faculty. Following over a decade of support program success documented in a series of scholarly publications, this study aims to capture the longitudinal impact of EAL NSSP on the continued success of its alumni within the academic, professional, and personal domains. A hermeneutic approach to phenomenology was used to measure the perceived impact of the student support measures on their professional and personal development. Participant interviews revealed six themes: (a) skills and knowledge obtained from membership in the support program, (b) continued engagement in professional development and leadership opportunities following support program involvement, (c) accomplishments attained following support program membership, (d) future goals, (e) eagerness to help future generations of EAL students, and (f) the need for continued EAL student support. The findings from this study demonstrate the importance of EAL student support in higher education, showcasing the profound, long-term impact that an effective and intentional EAL student support program design can have.

Status of the Children's Socio-Emotional Well-being Before and During the Pandemic: A Scoping Review
Authors: Caingcoy Manuel , Empinado Joanne Chris T. , Lambo Kharylle Xyrra A. , Caingcoy Manuel E.
Published: May 2024

Positive mental health thrives on strong social and emotional connections. Cultivating a child's ability to forge close, secure, and meaningful relationships is the cornerstone of well-being. Yet, pandemic-induced isolation has created barriers to face-to-face interaction with friends, posing a significant challenge to this critical developmental task. This scoping review delves into previous research concerning children's socio-emotional well-being before and during the pandemic. We screened studies, focusing solely on those directly addressing the core issues impacting children's emotional landscape. Our findings reveal disturbing trends: the pandemic has amplified anxieties, particularly among vulnerable children. The evidence speaks for itself – this global health crisis has inflicted a negative impact on children's socio-emotional health. In response, researchers have proposed a range of policy recommendations to equip teachers and parents with the tools to recognize and mitigate the pandemic's consequences on children. Among these, ongoing debriefing sessions for teachers can foster understanding and gradually alleviate anxieties that ripple through classrooms. Simultaneously, parents – as children's primary caregivers – must remain informed and offer unwavering support, actively monitoring and addressing anxieties within their homes.

Comparative Analysis of Oral and Parenteral Routes of Vitamin B12 Administration
Authors: Saliem Mohammed , Irfan Saquib , Younis Mohsin
Published: May 2024

Vitamin B12 is essential for the neurological system, and erythropoiesis among other important functions. Malnutrition, malabsorption such as in a case of atrophic gastritis and certain drugs like Metformin, can cause B12 deficiency. B12 can be administered both orally and parenterally. The rout of administration of B12 has been subject to extensive research regarding efficacy. The focus of this review was to investigate whether one route of administration is superior to the other. Only randomized trials were included and studies about B12 administration for purposes other than pure deficiency, were excluded. Three studies were included. In conclusion, the published data suggested that oral and parenteral both are equally efficient with little controversy. Further research with better study design and larger sample size is mandatory. Keywords: Vitamin B12 administration, Oral, parenteral
Mechanisms underlying human sperm cryodamage: the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants
Authors: Castellini Chiara , Placidi Martina , Barbonetti Arcangelo , Tatone Carla , Di Emidio Giovanna
Published: May 2024

Sperm cryopreservation is an efficient procedure for male fertility preservation, although the freeze-thaw procedure causes irreversible structural and functional changes in human spermatozoa. Indeed, the procedure is responsible for harmful changes that may affect sperm biology. In mammalian cells, cryopreservation induces a shift of redox homeostasis towards increasing generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The characteristics of ROS and the cellular outcomes depend on the cell type. Supra-physiological ROS levels during cryopreservation severely impact sperm survival, reproductive potential and DNA integrity, the latter a fundamental factor for fertilisation and transmission of paternal genetic information to offspring. The aim of this review is to summarise current knowledge of the main molecular mechanisms underlying ROS generation during sperm cryopreservation and its subsequent effects. In addition, we report current experimental approaches based on the supplementation of cryopreservation media with enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants with the aim of minimising the harmful effects of ROS, and thus improving post-thaw sperm quality. Current data indicate that the potential use of antioxidants as constituents of the sperm freezing solution in clinical settings would require considerable attention. KEY WORDS: Spermatozoa, cryopreservation, ROS, oxidative stress, antioxidants.

Seit 1957 gibt es die Militärseelsorge in der Bundeswehr. Die deutschen Streitkräfte haben sich seither vielfach verändert, weiterentwickelt und nicht zuletzt auch professionalisiert. Zu den größten Veränderungen der letzten Jahrzehnte zählen, dass die Bundeswehr mittlerweile eine Einsatzarmee ist, dass Frauen in allen Teilbereichen als Soldatinnen dienen dürfen und dass die allgemeine Wehrpflicht ausgesetzt wurde. All dies geht mit neuen Fragen, Aufgaben und Herausforderungen einher, denen sich auch die Militärpfarrerinnen und Militärpfarrer stellen. Sie begleiten Soldatinnen und Soldaten in ihrem Dienst in den heimischen Kasernen, im Rahmen von Manöverübungen, auf den Schiffen der Marine oder im Feldlager im Auslandseinsatz. Dabei tritt deutlich hervor, worauf es bei der Militärseelsorge vor allem ankommt: auf die Seelsorge.
Das aktuelle Disziplinarrecht
Authors: Ebert Frank
Published: May 2024

Topaktueller Praxisleitfaden zum DiszG Das Buch stellt das aktuelle Disziplinarrecht des Bundes dar. Der Leitfaden ist als Erläuterungs- und Nachschlagewerk vor allem für die Praxis konzipiert. Den Schwerpunkt bildet das behördliche Disziplinarverfahren. Die wichtigsten Verfahrensschritte werden von einer Reihe von Mustern begleitet, die eine rasche und möglichst unkomplizierte Einarbeitung in die Materie erleichtern. Rechtstheoretische Ausführungen und Hinweise auf die einschlägige Rechtsprechung sind nur an Stellen enthalten, an denen sie unverzichtbar scheinen. Mit Hinweisen zum BeamtStG An zahlreichen Stellen beinhaltet der Ratgeber Hinweise auf das Beamtenstatusgesetz (BeamtStG), sodass er auch für die Beamtengruppen der Länder, Gemeinden und anderen Körperschaften benutzt werden kann, auf die das BeamtStG Anwendung findet. Pflichtleküre im Studium An den Fachhochschulen des Bundes sämtlicher Richtungen ist Disziplinarrecht ein Pflichtfach. Der Leitfaden eignet sich zur Unterrichtsbegleitung sowie zur Prüfungsvorbereitung. Auf topaktuellem Stand Seit 1. April 2024 gilt das Gesetz zur Beschleunigung von Disziplinarverfahren in der Bundesverwaltung und zur Änderung weiterer dienstrechtlicher Vorschriften vom 20. Dezember 2023 (BGBl. I Nr. 389). Kernstück des Gesetzes ist die Abschaffung der bisherigen Disziplinarklage, die als zu zeitaufwendig angesehen wurde. Finanzielle Anreize, die durch eine überlange Dauer von Disziplinarverfahren als Nebeneffekt entstehen können, sollten beseitigt werden. Die vollständig überarbeitete 6. Auflage berücksichtigt die eingetretenen Änderungen, behält aber auch die Darstellung der bisherigen Rechtslage bei, weil diese für Altfälle weitergilt. Zur Rechtslage Der Bundesgesetzgeber hat das Bundesdisziplinarrecht im Jahre 2002 völlig neu geordnet, indem er es im Zuge einer umfassenden Verwaltungsmodernisierung den zeitgemäßen Anforderungen einer effektiven Verwaltung und Rechtspflege anpasste. Das Bundesdisziplinargesetz (BSG) wurde in der Folgezeit mehrfach geändert. Der durch das Gesetz vom 19. Oktober 2016 (BGBl. I S. 2362) neu eingefügte § 29a passte das formelle Disziplinarrecht an das Europarecht an und sah Unterrichtungen der zuständigen Behörden in den Mitgliedstaaten über bestimmte disziplinarisch bedeutsame Vorgänge vor. Der Koalitionsvertrag der Bundesregierung von 2021 beabsichtigte, Verfassungsfeinde schneller als bisher aus dem öffentlichen Dienst zu entfernen, um »die Integrität des Berufsbeamtentums sicherzustellen«. Besonders empfehlenswert Für alle, die mit dem Vollzug der Vorschriften des Bundesdisziplinargesetzes befasst sind: Dienstvorgesetzte und oberste Dienstbehörden Personalverwaltungen Personalvertretungen und berufliche Interessenvertretungen Verwaltungsgerichte Anwaltschaft sowie Beamtinnen und Beamte in der Ausbildung, im aktiven Dienst oder im Ruhestand
Gesamtschuld und Compliance im Kartellrecht
Authors: Bettien Carl Niclas
Published: May 2024

The infringement of competition laws by a subsidiary can lead to fines being imposed also on the parent company. As an economic unit, both companies are jointly and severally liable. The European concept of joint corporate liability has recently found its way into German competition law. This work examines whether and to what extent compliance measures should be taken into account when allocating the internal liability and develops requirements for the effective implementation of compliance systems at group level. It centers around the thesis that a parent company that has done everything reasonable to prevent violations should be exempted internally from any liability.

Unterschiedliche Einordnungen der Stromspeicherung im Rahmen des deutschen Rechts
Authors: Batyreva Maria
Published: May 2024

In German energy law, electricity storage is currently not viewed as an independent activity but rather divided into electricity consumption and production. However, European law prescribes a different understanding, in which a storage is treated as one economic unit with its own respective market role. This work examines the extent to which this different understanding of electricity storage is compatible with the national legal framework as well as the possible consequences of its application. For this purpose, this dissertation outlines the two understandings, compares their effects on legal certainty and shows which of them appears to be preferable.
Cool. Jazz als Gegenkultur im westlichen Nachkriegsdeutschland
Authors: Braese Stephan
Published: May 2024

Jazz übte eine eminente kulturelle Wirkung auf zahlreiche Sphären der neuen Öffentlichkeit Deutschlands nach der Befreiung 1945 aus und wurde zum Ausdruck eines komplexen Zeit- und Lebensgefühls, das weit über Liebhaberkreise hinaus Einfluss auch auf Literatur und Film, Debatten und Diskurse genommen hat. Das Buch zeigt in konzisen Lektüren der unterschiedlichsten Zeugnisse – von Fan-Zines und Leserbriefen über Essays und Sachliteratur, Romane, Hörspiele und Filme bis zu Zeitschriften wie "twen" oder mündlichen Überlieferungen aus der "Exi"-Jugendszene –, in welchem Maß Jazz durch seine enge Verknüpfung mit der radikal kritischen, dabei zugleich 'zurückgenommenen' Haltung des amerikanischen Cool gegenkulturelle Virulenz zum restaurativen Geist der Adenauer-Ära entfaltet hat. Zugleich wird deutlich, dass diese Virulenz durch die besonderen Bedingungen im Westdeutschland der Nachkriegsjahre spezifisch aufgerufen wurde. Zu diesen gerade an diesem Ort relevanten, letztlich unvermeidlichen Bedeutungsfeldern gerieten vor allem die Frage nach dem Rassismus, die Frage nach der nationalen 'Identität' und schließlich die Revision des Verhältnisses von Ethik und Ästhetik durch eine radikale Ausdruckskultur. Jazz wird erkennbar als genuiner Ausdruck eines zutiefst skeptischen Lebensgefühls – bis die charakteristische Haltung des Cool durch die des lautstarken und aktivistischen Protestes einschließlich der sie begleitenden neuen musikalischen Soundtracks abgelöst wurde.

The contraception (the term is the fusion between “contra”, against, and conception): includes all methods that prevent conception. According to the physiology of human reproduction, the contraceptive methods can prevent the fecundation by hindering the female and male gametes meeting. In these mechanisms we include: The abstinence by sexual intercourse around the ovulatory phase of the cycle; The use of barriers that block contact between male gametes and female genitalia; The use of methods impeding the ascent of spermatozoa through the female genital tracts (intrauterine devices). The prevention of the oocyte from being available (hormonal contraceptives or oral contraceptives, OC). In this category there is the availability of short acting reversible contraception (SARC) (pill, vaginal ring, patch), and the long acting reversible contraception (LARC) (progestin implants). The ideal contraceptive method has to respond to four fundamental principles: efficacy, safety, reversibility, tolerability. The authors will discuss all the above contraceptive methods with the evaluation of indications and contraindications to each method.
Second Stage of Labor in Obese Patients: Calling for a New Definition
Authors: Bui Tina , Roloff Kristina , Valenzuela Guillermo
Published: May 2024

Obesity is an epidemic worldwide with about half of the population being classified as overweight and obese. Second stage labor arrest may occur more commonly in patients with obesity, leading to a higher number of cesarean deliveries. Second stage arrest is diagnosed based on a fixed time frame without consideration of the total amount of expulsive forces exerted. The beginning of the second stage of labor is determined by an arbitrary parameter that depends on the timing intervals at which patients are examined. In other words, the specific point at which the second stage begins (complete dilation) is influenced by the frequency of examinations conducted during labor. Therefore, it would be reasonable to consider factors such as the cumulative duration of pushing and/or the number of pushes and/or cumulative force generated as clinical measurements to determine the optimal length of the second stage of labor. By redefining the criteria used to define second stage labor dystocia or arrest, we can ensure that patients are given an appropriate amount of time to generate the expulsive forces necessary for a safe vaginal delivery. Here, we will review the evidence to help optimize the management of the second stage.

Authors: Ali Mohammad , Al-Mutairi Matrah , Subrahmanyam M.N.V.
Published: May 2024

This study aimed to assess the impact of physicochemical parameters, serving as indicators of eutrophication, on the abundance of Oikopleura dioica in Kuwait Bay due to urbanization and sewage runoff. Seasonal variations and the abundance of O. dioica, along with physicochemical parameters (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen concentration, and nutrient concentrations), and chlorophyll-a concentrations were investigated at three stations—KB1, KB2, and KB3—separated by approximately 18–20 km in the eutrophic seawater of Kuwait Bay. The abundance of O. dioica measured 35.3 ± 28.60 × 103, 48.2 ± 45.11 × 103, and 43.4 ± 15.46 × 103 ind m−3 in KB1, KB2, and KB3, respectively. Statistical analysis showed no significant variation in O. dioica abundance among the three stations (F = 0.123; d.f = 11, p > 0.05). Moreover, the abundance of O. dioica exhibited positive correlations with salinity, chlorophyll-a, and nitrates (r = 0.9; p > 0.05), while being negatively affected by dissolved oxygen concentration (r = − 0.64; p > 0.05). During summer, O. dioica showed the highest abundance at each station, with a peak of 125 × 103 ind.m−3 in KB2. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed a strong association between O. dioica density, chlorophyll-a, and salinity during summer, suggesting that adequate food quality and quantity may contribute to the growth and reproduction of O. dioica in Kuwait Bay.

ASCON: A NEW ERA IN LIGHTWEIGHT CRYPTOGRAPHY
Authors: Wurity Anil , Sumalatha L.
Published: May 2024

This chapter focuses on the Ascon encryption algorithm which is a lightweight cryptographic protocol that has been designed specifically to suit the environments that have limited resources such as the internet of things devices and the embedded systems. The analysis was conducted on Ascon-128, Ascon-128a, and Ascon-80pq variants, highlighting their appropriateness for the different security and operational necessities. The main performance metrics such as encryption and decryption timings, memory consumption, and throughput were measured on the various data sizes (1KB, 10KB, 100KB, and 1000KB). From this analysis, it was very clear that Ascon performs very consistently and also efficiently in both the encryption and decryption regardless of the data size, and as such, it can be relied upon easily in systems where consistent processing time is an important consideration. The study also found that the memory usage during decryption was consistently higher than it was during encryption; this factor needs to be considered for memory-sensitive applications. As for the throughput, the algorithm has demonstrated better results in the decryption of the smaller files and encryption of the larger files. To conclude, the Ascon algorithm is lightweight and very efficient, which makes it a suitable choice for the constrained environments

Tourism is an important industry that contributes significantly to the global economy. The advent of digital technologies has transformed the way people plan and experience their travel. Today, many travelers use the internet to research destinations, book accommodations, and plan their itinerary. In this context, image-based e-tourism has emerged as a powerful tool for promoting travel destinations and attracting tourists. This paper presents an e-Tourism Web Application system that serves as a Virtual Guide, facilitating the travel planning process. We have proposed an application that gives information regarding the monument or places with a single click of the picture. Our application also ensures that only the relevant information is available to the tourists. The distinctive feature of this application, distinguishing it from other comparable applications, lies in its exceptional amalgamation of essential travel planning information and functions. In our application, we are implementing features like information of tourist spot through image processing, nearby tourist spots, availability of nearby restaurants and hotels, live weather conditions. In our system, tourist can even explore a city’s various other famous landmarks. Our application significantly reduces the time required to search for a place, leading to quicker decision-making, making trips easy and comfortable, and providing users with relevant information regarding the monuments

Fermented foods are staples of the human diet and have been produced and used up since the development of human civilizations. The process whereby microorganisms and their enzymes bring about these required changes in food materials is known as fermentation. Food fermentation methods can be categorized by the primary metabolites and microorganisms elaboratelactic acid bacteria (LAB) belonging to genera such as Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, and Streptococcus. Fermentations can also be defined based on the food substrates, which include meats and fish, dairy, soybeans and other legumes, cereals, and grapes. Raw materials that contain more concentrations of monosaccharides and disaccharides, or in some cases starch, are fermented through lactic acid bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a cluster of gram-positive, non-sporulating, anaerobic or facultative aerobic cocci or rods, fastidious on artificial media, but they grow gladly in most food substrates and lower the pH rapidly to a point where competing organism are not one longer able to grow, and it is one of the main fermentation products of the carbohydrates metabolism

Objective: To clarify the indications for the choice of operative intervention in patients with SLAC and SNAC wrist and to compare the functional results after proximal carpectomy (PRC) and partial intracarpal arthrodesis with scaphoid excision.
Methods: A total of 20 patients underwent four corner fusion intracarpal arthrodesis with scaphoid excision, and 8 patients underwent proximal carpectomy in the period from 2016 to 2023. The mean postoperative follow-up period for patients with intracarpal arthrodesis was 3.2 years and for patients with proximal carpectomy was 3.5 years.
Results: Regarding range of motion of the wrist in the flexion-extension axis, the proximal carpectomy patients in our series showed better results than the intracarpal arthrodesis patients, an average of 84% in the PRC patients and 75% in the intracarpal arthrodesis patients relative to the contralateral limb. In the patients with intracarpal arthrodesis, however, we recorded a greater preserved range of motion in the radial-ulnar deviation axis of the wrist. Grip strength was measured at 6 months postoperatively and averaged 72% for the PRC group compared with 83% for patients with intracarpal arthrodesis to the contralateral limb.
Conclusion: Both proximal carpectomy and intracarpal arthrodesis are surgical interventions that achieve similar functional outcomes for the treatment of degenerative conditions of the wrist (SLAC/SNAC).

This study investigates changes in the structure and socio-economic situation of Makassar coastal communities with the development of the CPI. The research results show that this development affects the state of the coastal economy, reducing the income of shipping and fishing companies. This change has an impact on the employment situation in coastal areas, which previously was mostly involved in shipping and fishing. Many people are now thinking about looking for another job. The development of CPI has also changed the physical composition and size of coastal communities, which previously were only limited to the sea, are now larger and connected to other areas. This research uses qualitative research methods and collects data from secondary sources such as reports and articles regarding developments in the consumer price index and the situation of coastal communities in Makassar City. The results show that the evolution of the consumer price index has influenced the socio-economic conditions of coastal areas, which previously were mostly involved in shipping and fishing. Many people are now considering looking for another job. This development has also changed the physical composition and size of coastal communities, which were previously only limited to the sea, but are now increasingly spread out and connected to other areas.
