La Construction d’un Modèle Théorique sur les Fondements Psychologiques Derrière les Décisions Financières des Entrepreneurs-Dirigeants en Temps de Crise
Authors: El Fartakh Yassine , Boungab Souad 
Published: February 2025

Dans un contexte de crises économiques fréquentes et perturbatrices, les décisions financières des entrepreneurs-dirigeants jouent un rôle crucial dans la survie et la résilience des entreprises. Cet article propose un modèle intégratif pour analyser les déterminants psychologiques influençant ces décisions en période de crise. Basé sur une revue approfondie de la littérature, ce modèle explore comment la perception de la crise influence le capital psychologique et social des entrepreneurs, impactant ainsi leurs comportements financiers. Le cadre théorique repose sur quatre axes principaux : la perception de la crise, le capital psychologique et social, les approches de gestion de crise et la classification des comportements financiers des entrepreneurs-dirigeants. En s'appuyant sur des modèles reconnus (Suder, 2023 ; Wang et al., 2022 ; Lux et al., 2020 ; Sahin et al., 2015 ; Ajzen, 1991), cet article propose une approche originale visant à approfondir la compréhension des mécanismes psychologiques sous-jacents aux décisions financières en période de crise. Ce modèle, enrichi par des hypothèses vérifiables, apporte une contribution significative à la littérature existante en intégrant des perspectives psychologiques et sociales dans l’étude des comportements financiers en situation de crise. Enfin, des implications pratiques sont proposées pour guider les chercheurs et les praticiens, accompagnées de pistes pour de futures recherches dans ce domaine.

In the context of frequent and disruptive economic crises, the financial decisions of entrepreneur-managers play a crucial role in the survival and resilience of companies. This paper proposes an integrative model to analyze the psychological determinants influencing these decisions in times of crisis. Based on a thorough review of the literature, this model explores how the perception of crisis influences entrepreneurs' psychological and social capital, thus impacting their financial behaviors. The theoretical framework is based on four main axes: the perception of the crisis, psychological and social capital, crisis management approaches, and classification of financial behaviors of entrepreneur-managers. Based on recognized models (Suder, 2023; Wang et al., 2022; Lux et al., 2020; Sahin et al., 2015; Ajzen, 1991), this article proposes an original approach to deepen the understanding of sub-psychological mechanisms under financial decisions in times of crisis. This model, enriched by verifiable assumptions, significantly contributes to the existing literature by integrating psychological and social perspectives into studying financial behaviors in crises. Finally, practical implications are proposed to guide researchers and practitioners, along with leads for future research in this field.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Essential nutrients for many physiological processes, such as bone integrity and neurological functioning, include vitamin D and B12. Notwithstanding their significance, deficits in these vitamins are common and can result in serious health issues. The objective of the study is to evaluate the vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels in a convenient sample of Jordanians who were referred to the Royal Medical Services' King Hussein Medical Center, a major referral medical center in the capital city of Jordan, Amman. Methods: For this study, a total of 70 participants—45 females and 25 males—were randomly chosen. Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels were determined by analyzing blood samples already requested for medical purposes. To compare levels and insufficiency rates between sexes, descriptive statistics were calculated and independent samples t-tests and chi-square tests were used. To investigate the correlations between age, vitamin B12, and vitamin D levels, Pearson correlation coefficients were computed. Results: The mean levels of vitamin B12 and vitamin D in females were 388.10 pg/mL and 21.40 ng/mL, respectively. The mean levels of vitamin B12 and vitamin D in males were 429.91 pg/mL and 25.44 ng/mL, respectively. There were no discernible variations in vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels between the sexes (p > 0.05). On the other hand, males (9.5%) had considerably greater levels of vitamin B12 deficiency than females (0.0%) (p = 0.036). Males' vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels showed a significant positive correlation (r = 0.448, p = 0.042) as did the pooled sample (r = 0.316, p = 0.020). Conclusion: The study shows that there is a significant positive correlation between vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels and that male participants were more likely to be insufficient in vitamin B12. These findings highlight the necessity of focused dietary interventions and public health initiatives to address and prevent these deficiencies in the Jordanian population. The high prevalence of vitamin B12 and D deficiencies underscores the urgent need for public health strategies, including educational campaigns, nutritional supplementation programs, and dietary modifications, to improve the nutritional status and overall health outcomes in Jordan.
Real-time in vivo structure-function study of scalp hair cycles: an experimental approach for monitoring living hair roots with a 20-year follow-up
Authors: Van Neste Dominique 
Published: February 2025

Aim: This study presents an experimental approach for the long-term (16 years) in vivo observation of deeper structures in human scalp hair follicles, focusing on shortened hair cycles. When hair follicles entered a prolonged dormancy stage (3 years), rapid regrowth of thinning hair was stimulated by the topical application of a drug approved for promoting hair growth.
Methods: While intra-epidermal chambers were ineffective as recipient sites, the most superficial dermal implantation proved successful for heterotopic transplantation of single scalp hair follicle grafts, enabling hair growth during successive cycles.
Results: The study confirms the known reduction in daily hair growth rates while maintaining hair diameter. Notably, a unique and exceptional “non-correlation” was observed between scalp hair diameter and linear growth rates. While the initial shortening of the hair cycle duration was recorded in the first 3 years post-grafting, a further reduction eventually led to a “dormancy” phase in the long term (16 years post-grafting). Pharmacodynamics revealed that reactivation of hair production, following less than 3 months of topical application of a 5% minoxidil solution, suggested very slow daily growth rates and a substantial reduction in hair diameter.
Conclusion: The initial findings suggest that non-invasive methods can be used for real-time structural-functional observation of scalp hair roots, enabling the study of cellular activity and movement during successive phases of the hair cycle, including aging and drug effects.

Published: February 2025

Background:
The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block has been shown to reduce pain and opioid consumption in posterior total hip arthroplasty (THA). The present study assessed the effects of the PENG block versus a placebo on postoperative (1) pain, (2) morphine consumption, and (3) length of stay in patients undergoing primary anterior THA.

Methods:
This was an institutional review board-approved, single-center, parallel-group, prospective, randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial of patients undergoing primary anterior THA between June 2022 and April 2023. Both groups underwent ultrasound-guided injection of a 20-mL solution (0.5% ropivacaine in the PENG group, 0.9% NaCl in the placebo group), according to the PENG block procedure. Sixty patients were included (32 in the PENG group, 28 in the placebo group). We assessed (1) postoperative pain at 1, 6, 12, and 24 hours with use of the visual analogue scale; (2) total morphine consumption as the morphine-equivalent dose (MED) during the first 24 hours postoperatively; and (3) the length of stay in days.

Results:
For the primary outcome, the median visual analogue scale pain score was 3.5 (range, 0 to 10) in the PENG group versus 4 (range, 0 to 10) in the placebo group at 1 hour postoperatively (p = 0.335); 1 (range, 0 to 7) versus 2 (range, 0 to 6) at 6 hours postoperatively (p = 0.306); 1 (range, 0 to 8) versus 1 (range, 0 to 6) at 12 hours postoperatively (p = 0.895); and 1.5 (range, 0 to 6) versus 1.5 (range, 0 to 6) at 24 hours postoperatively (p = 0.914). For secondary outcomes, the mean ± standard deviation 24-hour morphine consumption was 24 ± 17 MED in the PENG group versus 35 ± 29 MED in the placebo group (p = 0.110). The median length of stay was 2 days (range, 2 to 5 days) in the PENG group versus 4 days (range, 2 to 7 days) in the placebo group (p = 0.003).

Conclusions:
In this trial, the PENG block showed a significant decrease in hospital length of stay; however, no significant difference was found for visual analogue scale pain scores or morphine consumption following primary anterior THA compared with a placebo.

Authors: Daw Mohamed Ali 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Introduction
Synedmic geographic analysis is new epidemiological tool used to implement crucial effective intervention to combat integrated diseases. This study aims to determine spatial patterns and geographic profiling of three concurrent diseases including TB/CPVID-19, HIV/HCV, and Mortality/Morbidity in Libya during the Libyan armed conflict.
Methods
Geographic thematic mapping and spatiotemporal analysis were used to examine the syndemic geographic profiling of three integrated diseases including COVID-19 and TB, HCV/HIV, and Mortality and Morbidity during the Libyan armed conflict. The total number of notified TB and the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases, HIV and HCV cases, and Mortality and morbidity cases during the conflict period were reported . Such data were obtained at individual and geographic levels from each district involved in the armed conflict then analyzed and classified according to location, timing, and intensity of the Libyan armed conflict.
Results
High co-occurrence of TB and COVID-19 was evident. The southern region (i.e. Sebha), Tripoli, and Benghazi consistently portrayed higher incorporation patterns of the two intertwined infections. Conversely, the western mountain region and the Southeast region exhibited a lower concordance during the pandemic period. The co-occurrence of HIV and HCV infections was clear all over the country. The highest condensation of the concomitant is in the Western region, particularly the western mountains, Zawia followed by Jufra and Ghat. Followed by the Eastern region, particularly Deana and Benghazi. This was less tense in the Southern and Med region municipalities. Mortality and morbidity show a visible syndemic geographic pattern. The highest density of these two concomitant patterns was Benghazi, Derna and, Ajdabia in the Eastern region and Sirt, Musrta, Baniwaled in the Western region and to a lesser extent in Zawia and Shati.This study highlights the need syndemic geographic patterns of integrated diseases to focus on wellbeing beyond standard health parameters. Clear decisions about prioritisation of health care to be provided based the geographic region in need.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Relapsed or refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) presents major therapeutic difficulties that need for creative solutions. Although their respective processes are different, CAR T-cell therapy and Blinatumomab have yet unknown relative efficacy.
Objectives
Guiding optimum treatment choice in high-risk DLBCL patients, this research intends to evaluate effectiveness, safety, progression-free survival (PFS), and complete remission rates (CRR) comparing CAR T-cell therapy and Blinatumomab.
Methods
This prospective cohort research compares, in 400 patients with relapsed/refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) across five high-volume cancer centres in Saudi Arabia, the relative effectiveness and safety of CAR T-cell treatment with Blinatumomab. Stratified by illness severity and age, patients—n = 200 per group—have randomised therapy allocation. While Blinatumomab entails continuous intravenous infusion in six-week cycles, CAR T-cell treatment consists in lymphodepleting chemotherapy, T-cell collecting, genetic alteration, and reinfusion. Among the main results are remission rates, general survival, and progression-free survival. Strong statistical analysis, careful data collecting from electronic health records, and blinded outcome evaluations guarantee validity and repeatability of findings.
Results
Examining 400 patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL (200 CAR T-cell, 200 Blinatumomab) matched for age (mean: 61.4 years, SD ± 8.9), gender (57% vs. 55% male), BMI (27.6 vs. 27.9 kg/m²), and comorbidities, this study found With a greater complete remission rate (58% vs. 34%) and longer median progression-free survival (16.8 vs. 9.4 months, CAR T-cell treatment produced better results. But it caused severe CRS (78% vs. 48%), neurotoxicity (52% vs. 38%), and extended cytopenias (neutropenia: 62% vs. 44%). Though less hazardous, blinatumomab needed several cycles to be continuously effective. With sustained remissions (42% PFS at 24 months vs 18%), CAR T-cell treatment clearly has long-term benefits. Balancing effectiveness, toxicity, and patient-specific dangers, personalised therapy selection is crucial.
Conclusion
Higher complete remission rates and longer PFS than Blinatumomab allow CAR T-cell treatment to offer better long-term disease management in relapsed/refractory DLBCL. Its increased toxicity load, however, calls for extensive care; Blinatumomab provides a less toxic, temporary substitute needing several cycles for long-term effectiveness.
Enabling Service Robots to Open Self-Closing Doors using Deep RL and Generative Models
Authors: Sun Yufeng , Zhang Lin , Ma Ou 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Various mobile service robots have been applied in human-centered indoor environments such as hospitals, schools, and office buildings for tasks like food or material delivery, surveillance, cleaning, and disinfection. However, they still require human assistance to access rooms with doors, particularly self-closing doors. In this paper, we propose a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based solution to enhance existing service robots, enabling them to autonomously open self-closing doors using a simple and inexpensive assistive device. This device is utilized to unlatch doors through the integration of the latest object detection and sensor technologies. Focusing on pulling open self-closing doors, we train an end-to-end control policy in a simplified simulation environment and deploy it to a real-world robot. Additionally, generative models, a variational autoenoder (VAE) and a cycle-consistent adversarial network (CycleGAN), are incorporated into the training and deployment stages to improve the robustness of the door-opening control policy. The proposed solution for opening self-closing doors was validated in both simulation and real-world experiments.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Terrestrial landscapes are undergoing unprecedented transformations due to human activities, resulting in habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation on a global scale. This has severe effects on wildlife, especially on medium- and large-sized terrestrial mammals. Landscape ecology seeks to understand how habitat configuration, quantity, quality, and connectivity impact wildlife populations. This article presents a meta-analysis exploring the effects of landscape attributes and habitat fragmentation on populations of medium- and large-sized terrestrial mammals, highlighting the role of landscape ecology in biodiversity conservation. A total of 180 articles published between 2010 and 2023 were analyzed, selected from scientific databases. Patterns were evaluated in terms of geographic coverage, research topics, response variables, land use, and landscape metrics applied. Most studies were conducted in the Americas, Asia, and Africa, focusing on tropical and subtropical biomes. Of these, 68.89% centered on mammal communities in general. The most frequently studied response variables were species richness (28.45%), occupancy (25.63%), and abundance (12.39%). The most commonly used landscape metrics were related to human disturbances and habitat quantity. Studies were mainly conducted in native forests (77.17%) and areas with agricultural activities (42.39%). This review highlights the growing importance of camera traps in mammalian research and the need to understand landscape effects on their conservation. Species were observed to respond differently to landscape transformation, with some exhibiting ecological flexibility and others experiencing negative impacts.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Due to ongoing climate change, accurately predicting rainfall has become increasingly critical. This paper explores an approach utilizing two different machine learning algorithms, including multilayer perceptron neural networks (MPNN) and random forest regressors (RFR), to enhance rainfall forecast accuracy. Historical daily weather data spanning 100 years (1913–2023) from the Agro Climate Research Centre at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University were used. The study focused on global climate drivers like the Southwest Monsoon (SWM) and Northeast Monsoon (NEM) over the Coimbatore region; this region receives more rainfall during NEM. Normalization and scaling techniques addressed missing values, preserving 70–85% of the original data for the training set. Results demonstrated that MPNN outperformed RFR, achieving an accuracy of 85.55% for SWM and NEM, while RFR outperformed MPNN, producing an accuracy of 86.50%. The coefficient of determination (R2) for predicted versus observed values was 0.8 for daily rainfall from 2020 to 2023.
