Discovering Sources and Approaches in Financing Hackathons
Authors: Ryś Maciej 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This study explores the diverse sources and approaches to financing hackathons, aiming to compare financing models for hackathons, emphasizing the influence of event type on various strategies. Employing an ethnographic approach, the research identifies three primary financing strategies-challenge-oriented, community-oriented, and profit-oriented and six key sources, including sponsorships, community contributions, self-funding, grants, investments, and registration fees. The findings reveal that aligning financing with hackathon objectives is essential for the overall performance of the event. Challenge-oriented hackathons require dedicated budgets, community-oriented ones rely on local support, and profit-oriented events must balance financial goals with inclusivity. Sponsorships and partnerships emerge as the most versatile funding method. The study underscores the importance of combining multiple financing sources to ensure resilience and stability. It contributes to the academic understanding of hackathon financing and offers practical insights for organizers, sponsors, participants, and policymakers, aiming to enhance the effectiveness and impact of hackathons in fostering innovation and collaboration.

Authors: O’Sullivan Joanna B. , Wright Ruth , Halán Miloš 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The island of St. Maarten/St. Martin has a big stray dog population, with many roaming and non-sterilised owned dogs. Faecal samples from 111 dogs, including 70 puppies and 41 adult dogs, underwent coprological examination including flotation. Collection occurred from July through September of 2022. The infection rate of 92.8 % was higher than that reported in the previous Caribbean studies. The species found were Cystoisospora spp., Giardia intestinalis, species from the family Ancylostomatidae, Toxocara canis, Trichuris vulpis, and Dipylidium caninum. Ancylostomatidae family had the highest prevalence at 75.7 %. The high T. canis (42.3 %) and D. caninum (13.5 %) rates were attributed to the young age of the sample population in this study. Conversely, the low T. vulpis (10 %) rate was attributed to its long prepatency period, as eggs only shed from older puppies and dogs. Cystoisospora spp. were the most prevalent protozoan parasite at 10.8 %. The total coinfection rate was 45.9 %, with the most being 5 different species. It was determined that the parasite burden on the island is high and is likely to benefit from animal welfare interventions.

Abstract
Chronic enteropathy in dogs represents a significant clinical challenge that often requires innovative therapeutic strategies for effective management. This case study investigated the simultaneous use of budesonide, cannabidiol (CBD) oil and probiotics. Budesonide represents a corticoid therapy primarily used in human medicine for autoimmune diseases. Cannabidiol oil is one of the cannabinoids that does not affect sensory perception and is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Probiotics help maintain gut microbiota balance as a treatment modality for chronic enteropathy in dogs. This report details the clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment plan, highlighting the positive response seen in the patient. The findings suggested that the combination of budesonide, CBD oil, and probiotics may be a beneficial strategy for the treatment of chronic enteropathy in dogs.
Rethinking the Paradigm of Economic Development: A Critical Examination of its Intersection with Sustainable Development Goal 4 – Quality Education
Authors: Pamella Shabalala Nonkanyiso 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Quality education is an effective instrument for promoting economic development. It equips individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary to secure improved employment, achieve higher earnings and contribute to the economy. This study critically analyses the relationship between economic development and Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) – Quality Education within the context of education for sustainable development. It aims to explore the dearth of traditional economic development paradigms in promoting holistic human well-being and propose alternative approaches that prioritise high-quality education to achieve sustainable development. This study draws on the sustainable development concept articulated and expanded by various scholars in the literature that was reviewed. It further explores the principles of education for sustainable development (ESD) as outlined by UNESCO and analyses various economic frameworks such as the Green Economy, Well-being Economics and Doughnut Economics. As a conceptual study, the researcher reviewed existing literature on economic development, sustainable development and education. The study synthesises findings from various studies to critically analyse the interplay between economic growth and quality education. Furthermore, the findings emphasise the potential of ESD in promoting sustainable development. The analysis reveals that traditional economic development paradigms, which focus heavily on GDP growth, often neglect social equity and environmental sustainability, thereby resulting in a failure to advance holistic human well-being. In contrast, integrating quality education as a core component of development strategies may significantly contribute to the progress towards sustainable development. Education empowers individuals, by equipping the with knowledge and skills, encourages critical thinking and promotes environmental stewardship. As a result, education helps to align economic operations with broader social and environmental objectives. This study emphasises the need for policymakers to embrace holistic and inclusive approaches for economic development that give priority to quality education. Reforms in educational systems are necessary to prioritise critical thinking and sustainability. Additionally, investments should be made in teacher training and interdisciplinary learning. The findings support the need to transition from growth-centric development models that prioritise economic growth to models that consider and balance economic, social and environmental objectives, ensuring a future that is both sustainable and equitable.

Introduction. Postpartum endometritis is an inflammation of the endometrium with possible involvement of the myometrium that occurred after childbirth or cesarean section. The main components of its treatment are antibiotic therapy and removal of necrotic contents of the postpartum uterine cavity (necrectomy). Ultrasound cavitation with fluid aspiration was used for necrectomy.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of necrectomy using ultrasonic cavitation with aspiration of various fluids in the treatment of postpartum endometritis. furacilin solution.Materials and methods. 45 puerperants with postpartum endometritis were examined and treated. The patients were divided into 3 groups: in the 1st group, treatment was performed without necrectomy; in the 2nd group, cavitation of the uterine cavity using isotonic sodium chloride solution was added to the treatment; in the 3rd group, cavitation of the uterine cavity with furacilin solution.Results. On the 7th day of treatment, all patients noted an improvement in well-being, normalization of temperature parameters, and reduction of uterine soreness. At the same time, the most pronounced uterine involution was observed in patients of the 3rd group. For example, in patients of group 1, the length of the uterus decreased by 16.9 %, and in patients of group 3 – by 29.5 %. The dynamics of the content of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 10 in blood serum was also most pronounced in patients of group 3. Thus, in patients of group 1, the content of IL10 decreased by 84.1 %, and in patients of group 3 – by 90.9 %. The bed-day in this group was 9.3 days, and in the 3rd group was 7.0 days.Conclusion. The inclusion of ultrasound cavitation of the uterine cavity with furacilin solution in the treatment of patients with postpartum endometritis increases the effectiveness of treatment of this disease.

Background: To challenge dominant conceptions of children and innovate nursing education, our team created an open-access training module (https://childsxethics.net/) addressing ethical considerations for children undergoing surgery.
Objective: To evaluate the level of Bloom’s Taxonomy cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning reached by graduate nursing students after completing the training module.
Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted using Bloom’s Taxonomy. Data sources comprised of participants’ course assignments.
Results: Participants (n=19) wrote 19 online reflections, 43 peer responses and completed two group assignments. The module and associated class assignments promoted high levels of cognitive and affective learning. The type of assignment influenced participants’ levels of learning. Cognitive and affective learning processes were enhanced when integrating reflections and fostering interactions among learners.
Implications: Study findings will inform future iterations of the training module. Our innovative educational resource will facilitate the recognition of children as active moral agents and improve their surgical experiences.
How Low Can You Go: Exploring the Extreme Mass Ratio of Massive Binary Stars
Authors: Abraham Erin , Caballero-Nieves Saida M. , Reggiani Maddalena 
Published: December 2024

Massive stars burn bright and die young, and yet play a vital role in the evolution of our Universe. Massive stars are primarily found with companions in binary or multiple systems, but observational bias has obstructed the detection of extreme mass ratio binaries. With the advancement of high spatial resolution instrumentation, we are now poised to explore the lower end of the binary mass ratio, consisting of sub-solar, pre-main sequence stars. Here I present an analysis of seven massive stars in the young, active star-forming region M17 using data from the Spectro-Polarimetric High contrast Exoplanet REsearch (SPHERE) instrument on the Very Large Telescope. A radial velocity study of M17 by Ramirez–Tannus et al. (2017, DOI:10.1051/0004-6361/201629503) found fewer binary systems than expected. Our study is complementary to the previous work in the region to search for wide companions to massive stars in order to fill in our picture of massive star formation and the effect of multiple systems on the dynamical history of the region. SPHERE is uniquely capable of probing the lower end of the binary mass ratio due to its ground-breaking extreme adaptive optics and coronagraphic capabilities which allow us to achieve greater contrast ratios than traditional adaptive optics. We utilized the high spatial resolution imaging techniques of SPHERE in order to resolve binary systems with contrast ratios of up to 10 mag in the infrared and detect stellar companions to massive stars in the subsolar mass ranges. We present simultaneous dual-band imaging and integral-field spectroscopy of massive stars ranging from O4V–O9V. From a preliminary inspection, we found potential companions for all seven target stars. We measured flux contrast, position angles, and angular separation of our systems. Utilizing the Vortex Image Processing pipeline, we applied the negative fake companion technique in order to characterize the companions with differential magnitudes. Using this analysis, we will determine if the detected companions are foreground or field objects and estimate their mass ratio.
Hot and Cool: Characterising the Companions of Red Supergiant Stars in Binary Systems
Authors: Patrick Lee R. , Negueruela Ignacio 
Published: December 2024

In this article we study the nature of the recently identified populations of hot companions to red supergiant stars (RSGs). To this end, we compile the literature on the most well characterised systems with the aim of better understanding the hot companions identified with ultra-violet photometry and confirmed with Hubble Space Telescope spectra in the Local Group. We identify nine systems with current masses greater than around 8M⊙ that have constraints on their orbital periods, which are in the range of 3 to 75 yr. Antares (α Sco) is the obvious outlier in this distribution, having an estimated orbital period of around 2000 yr. Mass-ratio (q = M2/MRSG) estimates are available only for five of the compiled systems and range between 0.16 and 1. Ongoing efforts to identify and characterise hot companions to RSGs in the SMC have revealed 88 hot companions that have observational constraints free of contamination from the RSG component and show a flat-q distribution in the range 0.3 < q < 1. We present a summary of a recently conducted HST UV spectroscopic survey that aims to characterise a subset of these companions.
Interacting Supernovae from Wide Mass-transferring Binaries
Authors: Ercolino Andrea 
Published: December 2024

The light curves and spectra of many Type I and Type II supernovae (SNe) are heavily influenced by the interaction of the SN ejecta with circumstellar material (CSM) surrounding the progenitor star. The observed diversity shows that many progenitors have undergone some level of stripping and polluted their CSM shortly before the explosion. The presence of a binary companion and the mass transfer that can ensue offers a mechanism that can give rise to this diversity. We present a set of detailed massive evolutionary models in which the donor star, a Red Supergiant (RSG) is in a wide orbit around a main-sequence companion, and undergoes stable or unstable mass transfer in the later stages of evolution, up to the moment of core collapse. We also discuss some significant physics of these systems that may impact our results, from the presence of pulsations and extended atmospheres in RSGs, to the initial eccentricity of the orbit. The resulting SN types range from Type IIP to H-deficient IIb and H-free Ib. In models undergoing stable mass transfer, the material lost during this process is expected to form a dense CSM surrounding the system by the time of core collapse and give rise to significant interaction effects in the SN light curve and spectra. In the systems with unstable mass transfer mass transfer, the SN may occur during common-envelope evolution. In this case, the progenitor may show significant variability in the last few thousand years before core collapse, and the following SN will likely exhibit strong interaction effects.

В данной статье рассмотрены проектирование и реализация web клиента, выполняющего роль системы администрирования для платформы многоагентного моделирования перемещений и взаимодействий акторов в рамках участка карты города. Вся логика моделирования в данной платформе реализуется непосредственно в модулях, тогда как программная платформа осуществляет лишь её вызов для конкретных, подключенных модулей. Разрабатываемая система администрирования отображает текущее местоположение и топологию акторов, имеет функционал управления состоянием моделирования и списком участвующих в моделировании модулей, а также возможность отображения и изменения свойств модели и каждого актора в отдельности. Состояние модели (свойства и местоположение акторов) обновляется в реальном времени, с использованием системы gRPC, без необходимости перезагрузки веб страницы. Пользовательский интерфейс системы включает в себя карту и элементы управления. Программная платформа реализована на фреймворке ASP.NET Core версии 5.0. Для реализации веб клиента был выбран фреймворк Angular версии 11 с использованием компонентов пользовательского интерфейса Ant Design. Кроме того, для системы администрирования разработаны методы построения графических отчетов на основе полученных данных о моделировании.
This article discusses the design and implementation of the web client that plays the role of an administration system for the platform for multi-agent modeling of movements and interactions of actors within a city map section. All modeling logic in this platform is implemented directly in modules, while the software platform only calls it for specific, connected modules. The administration system under development displays the current location and topology of the actors, has functionality to manage the state of the modeling and the list of modules involved in the modeling, as well as the ability to display and change the properties of the model and each actor separately. The state of the model (properties and location of actors) is updated in real time, using the gRPC system, without the need to reload the web page. The system's user interface includes a map and controls. The software platform is implemented on the ASP.NET Core 5.0 framework. For the implementation of the web client, the Angular 11 framework was chosen using the Ant Design UI components. In addition, methods for constructing graphical reports based on the received data on modeling have been developed for the administration system.

Published: December 2024

Ценностно-ориентированное управление является инструментом обеспечения качества жизни в городе. Умный город характеризуется с одной стороны сервисами для населения, направленными на удовлетворение потребностей, с другой стороны системой управления городом для обеспечения устойчивого развития и повышения качества жизни горожан. При этом качество жизни в значительной степени определяется структурой потребностей и ценностей населения, которые могут меняться вследствие изменения городской среды и разняться для разных социально-демографических групп населения. Таким образом, управление без учета ценностей и потребностей населения может привести к ухудшению ситуации, снижению качества жизни отдельных групп населения и снижению устойчивости развития города. В статье рассмотрен подход к формализации ценностей с точки зрения управления городом и приведены примеры, иллюстрирующие несоответствие концепций умного города ценностям горожан.
Value-oriented management is a tool for ensuring the quality of life in the city. A smart city is characterized on the one hand by services for the population aimed at meeting the needs, on the other hand, by a city management system to ensure sustainable development and improve the quality of life of citizens. At the same time, the quality of life is largely determined by the structure of the needs and values of the population, which may change due to changes in the urban environment and differ for different socio-demographic groups of the population. Thus, the management of urban development without taking into account the values and needs of the population can lead to a decrease in the quality of life of individual groups of the population and a decrease in the sustainability of the city's development. The article considers an approach to the formalization of values from the point of view of city management and provides examples illustrating the discrepancy be-tween the concepts of a smart city and the values of citizens.
