Strengthening Human Security Through Biosecurity: A Road to Resilient Global Health Mechanism
Authors: Haider Waqas , Siddique Marriyam , Amin Asif
Published: January 2023

For global health, the COVID-19 situation presents unique difficulties and possibilities. The most disappointing aspect of the problem is that we do not have a global health apparatus to guarantee our people's safety. The global health system, predicated on the concept of human security, has, to a certain extent, failed to ensure the security of people's lives. When it comes to the threat that COVID-19 poses, there is a form of balance on a worldwide basis between under-developed and developed governments about the fact that no one is secure. The Covid-19 pandemic has completely transformed the concept of human security. The term "global health" refers to more than only the safety of one's health. This research helps to reveal the conceptual and analytical ambiguity of the human security paradigm, focusing on enhancing human security by using the biosecurity paradigm as a policy cover. Further, this research paves the way to understand the concept of human security with new dimensions.

Enacting Happiness from Emotions and Moods
Authors: Laurent Éric , Bague Kévin , Vegas Colin , Dartevelle Jonathan
Published: January 2023

The pursuit of happiness has been an important component of philosophical thought for a long time. Traditionally, happiness could be viewed as the result of rational thinking and personal project management. We review the literature in cognitive biology and psychology revealing why happiness could complementarily be conceived as an emerging feeling, anchored in daily emotions and moods. Finally, we propose a framework in which happiness builds on distributed and dynamic bodily processes with which abstract thought interacts. Data coming from complexity science, neuroscience, psychopathology, and cognitive behavioral therapies are gathered in this chapter in order to account for the coordination between “bottom-up” and “top-down” happiness geneses.
Mercury in the Colombian Caribbean: The Bay of Cartagena, A Model in Resilience
Authors: Hernando Campos Néstor , Luis Marrugo-Negrete José
Published: January 2023

The Caribbean Sea in Colombia maybe being subjected to discharges of terrigenous solid waste and with these probably, the natural metallic constituents of the sediments, through the discharges of the Magdalena River since the time of the conquest. With the opening of the Dique canal in the mid-seventeenth century, which linked pipes, swamps, and branches from the Magdalena River to its mouth at the southwestern end of the bay, great changes could be caused from the point of view of mixing the fresh and turbid water of the channel with the clear and marine waters of the bay, which led to the beginning of the deterioration of the coral ecosystems present in the bay. Mercury contamination in the Colombian Caribbean has different origins. Artisanal gold mining has the greatest impact and has generated mercury contamination in many ecosystems, particularly in Bolívar and the Mojana region (department of Sucre and Cordoba). In this study, published information on mercury contamination along the Colombian Caribbean coast is compiled. The concentrations present differences between different areas of the coast. The bay of Cartagena is one of the areas most impacted by this pollutant, mainly due to the discharge of waste from a salt processing plant. Other areas are impacted by mercury, the product of the artisanal exploitation of gold, the discharges as a result of this activity are transported mainly to the Magdalena River, and through the different arms that form the delta, they are deposited in the Colombian Caribbean.
Application of DC-DC Converters at Renewable Energy
Authors: Ebrahimi Reza , Madadi Kojabadi Hossein , Chang Liuchen
Published: January 2023

Photovoltaics usually produce low voltage at their outputs. So, in order to inject their power into utility grids, the output voltage of solar panels should be increased to grid voltage level. Usually, the boost DC-DC converters will be connected between solar panels and grid-connected inverters to boost the panels’ output voltage to more than 320 V (for 380/220 utilities). Various DC-DC converter topologies have been proposed in the past three decades to boost the photovoltaic panels’ output voltage which will be discussed in this proposal. In order to increase the life span of photovoltaic panels, the DC-DC converts should absorb continuous low ripple current from solar panels. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is an algorithm implemented in photovoltaic (PV) inverters by DC-DC technology to continuously adjust the impedance seen by the solar array to keep the PV system operating at, or close to, the peak power point of the PV panel under varying conditions, like changing solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity. In this research work, various topologies of DC-DC converters that are suitable for renewable energy applications along with the advantages and disadvantages of control methods and the stability of converters with related control methods are discussed.
The EFQM Model as an Exquisite Tool for the Analysis of Business Excellence and Its Use in the Healthcare Industry
Authors: Bukvič Vladimir
Published: January 2023

The author links together business analysis and business excellence as an ideal that all well-performing organisations wish to achieve while attaining and continuously maintaining superior levels of business performance. He leans on the EFQM model and uses it as an excellent tool for analysing the business of an organisation throughout all the phases defined by traditional business analysis. This entails setting up hypotheses and testing them by applying appropriate measures. After a short introduction, the author makes first a thorough literature review on business excellence in the last two decades. Further, the author presents the basic concepts and elements of the EFQM model of business excellence, with a particular emphasis on the RADAR matrix. He also presents the use of the model for analysing and assessing the business excellence of organisations in the public sector, specifically in the healthcare industry (hospitals). He presents the key attributes (select healthcare aspects) that define the quality of healthcare services for its key participants, i.e., patients and the payers of these services. The author rounds off his paper with a couple of recommendations regarding the identification of strengths and areas for continuous improvement, which he considers as the most important aspect of business excellence analysis.
Operative Hysteroscopy Complications
Authors: Serranito Anabela
Published: January 2023

Operative hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive gynaecological procedure and is considered the gold standard for the treatment of intracavitary uterine pathology. Over the last decades, with the development of new surgical instruments, the popularity of this technique has increased with gynaecologists across the world. However, this minimally invasive technique can be associated with rare but serious complications that can lead to severe morbidity and, if not treated adequately in some cases, ultimately lead to mortality. Any gynaecologist using this procedure should not only train in the operative technique but should also acquire knowledge on what type of complications may arise whilst performing an operative hysteroscopy. The following chapter explores the diagnosis of complications associated with the operative hysteroscopy and management options.

Published: January 2023

Milk is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and other vital nutrients. Potassium, B12, vitamin D, and calcium are nutrients that are lacking in many foods. Milk is also a rich source of magnesium, zinc, vitamin A, and thiamine (B1). In addition to lactose and fat, milk is an excellent source of protein and contains numerous fatty acids, including conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and omega-3 fatty acids. The primary sources of pathogens in milk and dairy products are animals, human handlers, equipment in contact, environmental sources, and water used in preparation. However, milk borne diseases, since early time, played a principal role in public health. This chapter is divided into the following parts: mammary Glands, the phases of mammary gland secretion after birth, nutritive value of colostrum, nutritive value of milk, major sources of milk contamination, milk-borne diseases, techniques used in milk preservation, milk testing and quality control, prevention of milk-borne diseases, and conclusions.
Taking Stock of Local Land Rush and Their Development Benefits for Women Farmers and Rural Livelihoods in Cameroon
Authors: V. Abonge Christiana
Published: January 2023

Land is a major resource for rural women who are largely dependent on agriculture as a major source of livelihood. The rise in large scale land acquisition by local investors has made land scarcer, affecting the livelihoods of women and the rural population. Because the poor and women are less likely to own land independently, they are more vulnerable and become landless with limited livelihood options and bear disproportionate costs of land deals. The study intends through the use of a survey, interviews and focus group discussions, to investigate the effects of local large scale land deals on women’s livelihoods in North Western Cameroon and how this affects household food security in these communities. Drawing on empirical evidence from the study, women who are mainly responsible for subsistence food crop production, have very limited access to and ownership rights to land. While local investors promise employment opportunities and local development in rural areas, women are also particularly deprived of farmland, which is a major source of livelihood and household subsistence. Thus, local land acquisition fails to trickle down to social and infrastructural development and is more likely to restrict women’s ability to meet the basic food needs of their households.

Published: January 2023

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the most challenging infection to treat worldwide. The contemporary TB regimens consist of 6–9 months of daily doses of four drugs in the existing regimen that is extremely toxic to patients. The purpose of these longer treatments is to eliminate Mycobacterium tuberculosis, notorious for its ability to resist most antimycobacterial drugs, thereby preventing the formation of drug-resistant clinical strains. On the contrary, prolonged therapies have led to impoverished patient adherence. Furthermore, the severe limitations of drug choices have resulted in the emergence of drug-resistant strains. Unfortunately, the lack of great lethargy toward developing effective antituberculosis regimens with a large-scale prevalence rate is a tremendous challenge to controlling the pandemic. In fact, the current improvement in genomic studies for early diagnosis and understanding of drug resistance mechanisms, and the identification of newer drug targets, is remarkable and promising. Identifying genetic factors, chromosomal mutations, and associated pathways give new hope to current antituberculosis drug discovery. This focused review renders insights into understanding molecular mechanisms underlying the profound drug resistance. This knowledge is essential for developing effective, potent antibiotics against drug-resistant strains and helps shorten the current treatment courses required for drug-susceptible tuberculosis.
Therapeutic Approaches Targeting Cancer Stem Cells
Authors: Mukai Shin
Published: January 2023

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been identified in many types of cancer since their discovery in leukemia in the 1990s. CSCs have self-renewal and differentiation capacity, and are thought to be a key driver for the establishment and growth of tumours. Several intracellular signalling pathways are reported to play a significant role in the regulation of the biological activities of CSCs. Thus, many researchers have considered CSCs to be a compelling therapeutic target for cancer, and blockade of CSC-related signalling pathways can be efficacious for the treatment of multiple cancer types. This chapter succinctly summarises the recent progress in the development of treatments targeting signalling pathways related to the functions of CSCs.

Published: January 2023

Providing anesthesia care to neurosurgical and neurocritical care patients presents unique challenges to the anesthesiologist. Over the last century, anesthetic care for such patients has become a robustly studied field, with tools and techniques to keep patients safe and comfortable in the perioperative period. A review of the major updates and considerations for perioperative care for awake craniotomies, thrombectomy for stroke, and endoscopic neurosurgery is critical for the anesthesiologist. Additionally, newly developed enhanced recovery after surgery procedures have improved patient experiences and outcomes after both cranial and spinal neurosurgery. Finally, post-operative delirium is a major neurologic complication in elderly patients undergoing all types of procedures which all anesthesiologists should be well versed in. Here, such topics are reviewed with a focus on recent updates to the literature which are important for clinical practice.

Published: January 2023

3D printing’s rapid technological development is starting to impact the art field because, for the first time, it has become possible to exactly reproduce and reconstruct artworks without any loss of their physical features. Yet, a coherent overview of how 3D printing is used within the art field while paying attention to ethical considerations does not exist. This study will provide an overview of the current developments of 3D printing in the art world, its use, and the direction it is moving toward. Within this study, the technologies that enable, influence, and will continue to affect the 3D reproduction of artworks, namely technologies necessary to capture an artwork’s materials on a chemical and physical level, artificial intelligence (AI), 3D printing technology itself, and the rise of the non-fungible token (NFT) are analyzed to be able to understand what 3D printing implies for our changing perception of art in the future.
Perspective Chapter: Biomimetics – Bio-Inspired Tissular Engineering for Regenerative Oral, Dental and Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Solutions
Authors: S. Haidar Ziyad
Published: January 2023

This chapter introduces the scope of the book—bioMIMETICS can be described as an innovative form of technology that imitates (or mimics) nature in order to improve human lives via creating desirable solutions. It is the study of nature and natural phenomena, principles, and underlying mechanisms, to obtain bio-inspired that may benefit various applied scientific and technological disciplines. Smart/Intelligent nano-bioMaterials for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine are a fine example. Yet, biomimicry can go above and beyond the simplistic inspiration and use of natural properties as the basis for innovation of new products. It bridges the gap between the lab and the industry, via the intra-disciplinary design and formulation of functional solutions combining knowledge, methods, techniques, and advances in the fields of chemistry, biology, architecture, engineering, medicine, pharmaceutics, dentistry, and biomedical engineering. Three-Dimensional Printing, Hybrid nanoCoatings, and Stimuli-sensitive and -responsive Cell/Drug Delivery Systems, and Robotics are some of the topics covered in this new book. In this first chapter, a general overview of bio-inspired materials, technologies, and strategies, collectively known as “bioMiMETICS,” is presented to bridge the gap between the laboratory “bench-top” and translational application, particularly, the clinic or “bed-/chair-side,” with a focus on “REGENERATIVE DENTISTRY” and the “CRANIO-MAXILLO-FACIAL bio-COMPLEX.”
Manufacturing Methods Based on Planar Circuits

Published: January 2023

Manufacture of hybrid 3D-planar circuits, especially those incorporating empty waveguides on substrates, can benefit from most standardized planar fabrication processes, although they are not exactly the same. For this reason, planar circuit manufacturing methods must be adapted to the requirements of these new circuits. Through numerous fabrications and successful designs, several enhancing strategies have been established to improve all the manufacturing phases to achieve better results. They all have been proved in the following substrate-integrated technologies for the manufacturing of microwave devices: ESIW, ESICL, continuous profile, and microstrip. Thanks to these improvements, good-quality prototypes such as transitions, filters, circulators, couplers, antennas, among others, have been fabricated. Throughout the next chapter, these strategies applied along the manufacturing process will be explained: from the first manufacturing phase to the final welding of the whole circuit and taking into account external elements such as wires that may be present in these structures. For this purpose, some devices that have been published will be used as examples.
SPeAR as a Tool for Sustainability Impact Assessment of Hospital Master Plans: King Hamad University Hospital, Bahrain
Authors: Mohamed Abdurrahman
Published: January 2023

Sustainability impact assessment (SIA) has been developed as a tool for the evaluation of proposed or existing development projects to improve their environmental quality, economic feasibility, and social commitment. Several approaches and tools have been used for SIA to facilitate the study and analysis of sustainability levels. Increasing attention has been directed to sustainability in hospital master plans yet little attention is paid to SIA as a tool for the management and control of their sustainability levels. King Hamad University Hospital (KHUH) in Bahrain is a leading health institution in the country and the region. There are no publicly available documents of its master planning and there is no reference for sustainability planning and management in any of the available resources. This research uses the sustainable project appraisal routine “SPeAR” as an SIA tool for the assessment of social and environmental components of the master plan of KHUH. The research reveals that there is a need for the preparation of a sustainable master plan for KHUH with suitable sustainability indicators and measures with continuous monitoring. The research represents the first attempt to study the master plan of KHUH and its sustainability levels. It provides a guideline for other hospitals in Bahrain and the region.
Public Finance Management: Essence, Problems, and Development Prospects
Authors: Tkachenko Liudmila
Published: January 2023

The chapter justifies the increased interest in public sector financial management (PFM) through its scaling up in the economy. The paper reveals the essence of the PFM system, through an analysis of the definitions of the PFM, the role of the public sector in the economy, the key elements of the PFM system, and a comparative analysis of financial management systems in the public and the private sectors of the economy. The problematic issues of the functioning of the PFM system, which include the issues of assessing the quality of the PFM, are analyzed. The quality of the PFM is understood as its effectiveness, efficiency, and achievement of the goals of the PFM, the main of which is the growth of the well-being of society. The statement proved that the amount of public spending is not evidence of the effectiveness of the PFM system. The factors influencing the efficiency of the PFM system functioning are revealed. The importance of financial information formed in the system of state accounting on an accrual basis on the basis of IPSAS for making government decisions is revealed. An alternative point of view on the formation of financial information is given.
Rare Earth Elements in New Advanced Engineering Applications
Authors: Duchna Monika , Cieślik Iwona
Published: January 2023

From an engineering approach, rare earth elements (REE) have the extra potential to modify modern engineering in an extraordinary way. Their peculiar optical, mechanical, electronic, and magnetic properties have been used for years and even open up wider possibilities for using rare earth elements. With advances in all fields of engineering, it is predictable that the rare earth elements will play a crucial role. The use of the rare earth elements permits many new advances, including digital and magnetic technologies operating at reduced energy consumption, higher efficiency, miniaturization, speed, and durability. The REEs are particularly crucial components in clean energy applications, which is especially important in the fight against global warming. For these reasons, the rare earth elements will become essential components in the technological revolution in the second quarter of the twenty-first century.
Activation and Metabolic Shifting: An Essential Process to Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Function
Authors: Semedo-Kuriki Patricia , Pereira Gabriel , Cândido de Almeida Danilo , Olsen Saraiva Camara Niels
Published: January 2023

To elucidate the basal metabolism of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs), as well as knowing how they are activated, can bring important clues to a successful cell-based therapy. Naive MSCs, in their niche, mainly keep the local homeostasis and the pool of tissue stem cells. Once activated, by an injury, MSCs’ response leads to a lot of physiological differences in its metabolism that are responsible for its healing process. Since endogenous MSC seems to be ineffective in pathologic and aging conditions, cell-based therapy using MSC is focused on administration of exogenous MSC in patients to exert its healing functions. From quiescent to activated state, this “Metabolic Shifting” of MSC interferes directly in its secretion and cellular-derived particle generation. We will address here the differences between the MSCs activation phases and how they can modify the MSCs metabolism and its function. Moreover, understanding MSC in their niche and its damped function in pathologic and aging processes can improve stem cell-based therapies.
Persistence in Chlamydia
Authors: Scharbaai-Vázquez Ramón , J. López Font Francisco , A. Zayas Rodríguez Félix
Published: January 2023

Chlamydia spp. are important causes of acute and persistent/chronic infections. All Chlamydia spp. display a unique biphasic developmental cycle alternating between an infectious elementary body (EB) and a replicative form, the reticulate body (RB), followed by the multiplication of RBs by binary fission and progressive differentiation back into EBs. During its intracellular life, Chlamydia employs multiple mechanisms to ensure its persistence inside the host. These include evasion of diverse innate immune responses, modulation of host cell structure and endocytosis, inhibition of apoptosis, activation of pro-signaling pathways, and conversion to enlarged, non-replicative but viable “aberrant bodies” (ABs). Early research described several systems for Chlamydial persistence with a significant number of variables that make a direct comparison of results difficult. Now, emerging tools for genetic manipulations in Chlamydia and advances in global microarray, transcriptomics, and proteomics have opened new and exciting opportunities to understand the persistent state of Chlamydia and link the immune and molecular events of persistence with the pathogenesis of recurrent and chronic Chlamydial infections. This chapter reviews our current understanding and advances in the molecular biology of Chlamydia persistence.
A Column generation approach for product targeting optimisation within the banking industry ORiON: Product Targeting Optimisation
Authors: van Niekerk Jean-Pierre
Published: January 2023

Product targeting optimisation within the financial sector is becoming increasingly complex as optimisation models are being exposed to an abundance of data-driven analytics and insights generated from a host of customer interactions, statistical and machine learning models as well as new operational, business, and channel requirements. However, given the expeditious change in the data environment, it is evident that the product targeting formulation cited throughout the literature has not yet been updated to align with the realistic modeling dynamics required by financial institutions. In this paper, an enhanced product targeting formulation is proposed that incorporates a large set of new modeling constraints and input parameters to try and maximise the economic profit generated by a financial institution. The proposed formulation ensures that the correct product is offered to the desired customers at the best time of day through their preferred communication medium. To solve the foregoing product targeting formulation, a novel column generation approach is presented that is capable of reducing problem complexity and in turn allowing for significantly larger problems to be solved to global optimality within a reasonable time frame.

Published: January 2023

Particularly compared to other diseases, heart disease (HD) claims the lives of the greatest number of people worldwide. Many priceless lives can be saved with the help of early and effective disease identification. Medical tests, an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, heart sounds, computed tomography (CT) images, etc. can all be used to identify HD. Of all sorts, HD signal recognition from ECG signals is crucial. The ECG samples from the participants were taken into consideration as the necessary inputs for the HD detection model in this study. Many researchers analyzed the risk factors of heart disease and used machine learning or deep learning techniques for the early detection of heart patients. In this paper, we propose a modified version of the LeNet-5 model to be used as a transfer model for cardiovascular disease patients. The modified version is compared to the standard version using four evaluation metrics: accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The achieved results indicated that when the LeNet-5 model was modified by increasing the number of used filters, this increased the model's ability to handle the ECGs dataset and extract the most important features from it. The results also showed that the modified version of the LeNet-5 model based on the ECGs image dataset improved accuracy by 9.14 percentage points compared to the standard LeNet-5 model.

The distribution of Zakat to victims of violence against women and children is a new idea in which the law requires profound interpretation and even the existence of contemporary Ijtihad. This new phenomenon has received mixed responses from various Islamic law experts, as in Ponorogo, which experienced quite a lot of dynamics. This research aims to explore responses to the phenomenon of zakat for victims of sexual violence from religious leaders and community organizations Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah. To explore responses to the phenomenon of zakat for victims of sexual violence, researchers conducted phenomenological qualitative research with a field approach. The data source from this research is religious figures in the Ponorogo region. In-depth interview techniques with all research subjects regarding responses to the phenomenon of zakat to victims of sexual violence collected data. In this study, it can be concluded that the paradigm of NU and Muhammadiyah Ponorogo Ulama in responding to zakat to victims of sexual violence is divided into three. Rigid-textual paradigm, eclectic-textual paradigm, and contextual-maqashid sharia paradigm. This research can be a reference for the community in distributing zakat, which is more humanist.

Ushering Human Dignity into the Era of Globalized, Human-less Technology
Authors: Sovak Karel ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2023

As our work is ever evolving from agrarian to more service-oriented tasks, the rise of machine learning is the advent of an intelligence that contrasts with the natural intelligence exhibited by humans. Many see the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) as simply another opportunity for business to exploit. Additionally, as coding becomes the new language of the business world, the challenge of using data and analytics to help foster a new generation of human flourishing lessens with organizations solidifying their protocols for the use of AI. As our work changes, it is vital for business to recognize that being a force for good requires policies, procedures, and programs that will respect and promote human dignity at all levels, even amidst the changes brought by AI initiatives. This person-first philosophy needs to be a critical component of any future strategies business utilizes to uphold the well-being of all stakeholders.

Published: January 2023

This paper aims to expound and develop the idea of work as enterprise in response to the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution and to demonstrate that Christian theology provides a conceptual framework which helps locate work within an understanding of purpose and human dignity. This paper defines enterprise, considers the purpose of work, and reflects on themes from the common Christian theological tradition which give meaning to the idea of work as enterprise. Further, this article considers the challenge of technology, the place of the market and ethics, the role of innovation and creativity, questions of freedom and regulation, the central place for the development of skills and education, and the transformational nature of work. In addition, this paper has three policy propositions and some practical advice. Work matters because it is at root an expression of our humanity. Technological advance poses both perils and opportunities. The development of the idea of work as enterprise within a framework of Christian theology places entrepreneurship, creativity, and innovation at the heart of our collective response to the fourth industrial revolution.
