Abstract

Background
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among women in America. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) negatively impact acute and long-term cardiovascular health, with approximately 16% of all pregnancies affected. With CVD 2‐4 times more likely after HDP compared to normotensive pregnancies, effective interventions to promote cardiovascular health are imperative.

Objective
With postpartum physical activity (PA) interventions after HDP as an underexplored preventative strategy, we aimed in this study to assess (1) the feasibility and acceptability of a remotely delivered PA intervention for individuals with HDP 3‐6 months postpartum and (2) changes in average steps per day, skills related to PA behavior, and postpartum blood pressure (BP).

Methods
A remotely delivered 14-week health coaching intervention was designed based on prior formative work. The health coaching intervention called the Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy Postpartum Exercise (HyPE) intervention was tested for feasibility and acceptability with a single-arm proof-of-concept study design. A total of 19 women who were 3‐6 months postpartum HDP; currently inactive; 18 years of age or older; resided in Iowa; and without diabetes, kidney disease, and CVD were enrolled. Feasibility was assessed by the number of sessions attended and acceptability by self-reported satisfaction with the program. Changes in steps achieved per day were measured with an activPAL4 micro, PA behavior skills via validated surveys online, and BP was assessed remotely with a research-grade Omron Series 5 (Omron Corporation) BP monitor.

Results
Participants at enrollment were on average 30.3 years of age, 4.1 months postpartum, self-identified as non-Hispanic White (14/17, 82%), in a committed relationship (16/17, 94%), and had a bachelor’s degree (9/17, 53%). A total of 140 of 152 possible health coaching sessions were attended by those who started the intervention (n=19, 92%). Intervention completers (n=17) indicated they were satisfied with the program (n=17, 100%) and would recommend it to others (n=17, 100%). No significant changes in activPAL measured steps were observed from pre- to posttesting (mean 138.40, SD 129.40 steps/day; P=.75). Significant improvements were observed in PA behavior skills including planning (mean 5.35, SD 4.97 vs mean 15.06, SD 3.09; P<.001) and monitoring of PA levels (mean 7.29, SD 3.44 vs mean 13.00, SD 2.45; P<.001). No significant decreases were observed for systolic (mean –1.28, SD 3.59 mm Hg; Hedges g=–0.26; P=.16) and diastolic BP (mean –1.80, SD 5.03 mm Hg; Hedges g=–0.44; P=.12).

Conclusions
While PA behaviors did not change, the intervention was found to be feasible and acceptable among this sample of at-risk women. After additional refinement, the intervention should be retested among a larger, more diverse, and less physically active sample.

En el afloramiento conocido como Cerro de los Caracoles, localizado al sur del municipio General Bravo en la Cuenca de Burgos, estado de Nuevo León, se recolectaron 132 ejemplares de gasterópodos marinos que representan los siguientes géneros: Athleta¸ Architectonica, Latirus, Distorsio, Bernaya y Turritella. Los ejemplares muestran diferentes grados de preservación, aunque todos proceden de las capas de caliza arenosa y lutita calcárea que identifican esta zona y que han sido interpretadas como sustrato duro o hardgrounds, y que posteriormente fueron separados de la matriz y depositados en sedimentos recientes. Las características litológicas así como su composición faunística indican que el afloramiento se encuentra en la cima de la Formación Cook Mountain (Eoceno). Se ha estimado una edad de 40 Ma para dicha formación, misma que coincide con el fin de los efectos de la Orogenia Laramide en la Cuenca de Burgos. Por consiguiente, se puede postular que este afloramiento podría ser representativo de uno de los primeros periodos con ausencia de sedimentación siliciclástica por acción tectónica en la cuenca.

La Cuenca de Burgos en el noreste de México tiene escasa información geológica publicada. Datos de superficie se conocen por publicaciones diversas esporádicas y cartas geológico-mineras a escalas 1:250,000 y 50,000 elaboradas por el Servicio Geológico Mexicano, los afloramientos en esta región son dispersos y su dimensión es limitada. La información de subsuelo es restringida y se conoce por aportes que Petróleos Mexicanos ha permitido divulgar. La estratigrafía, modelos sedimentarios y estructurales de esta cuenca, son extrapolados de Texas, o bien, son pocos los estudios estratigráficos y sedimentológicos que sirven como referencia análoga para inferir modelos de sedimentación aplicables a la exploración de carbón, uranio, acuíferos y yacimientos de gas en el subsuelo o con fines académicos. Por primera vez en la Cuenca de Burgos se utilizan isótopos 87Sr/86Sr para obtener una edad geocronológica de 36.75 (+2.65/-2.05) Ma, para la Formación Jackson inferior. Este intervalo estratigráfico tiene el ostréido Crassostrea cf. alabamiensis reportado por primera vez en esta cuenca; a partir de la concha bien preservada de este molusco, se obtuvo la muestra para los análisis de Sr. Los datos estratigráficos y paleontológicos de la sección estudiada sugieren interpretar una sucesión de subambientes de barra, laguna y planicie fluvio-lacustre para una costa litoral, dominada por olas y mareas, en un episodio transgresivo (transgressive system tract), cuya edad se incluye en el piso Priaboniano (Eoceno Superior).

In the Mediterranean Region, species of the genus Juniperus face conservation challenges due to human activities and climate change threats. Juniperus species are reported to present low regeneration rate, while their seeds often exhibit physical and physiological dormancy. Viability and germination of mature Juniperus excelsa seeds from population originating from the Prespa area (Florina, Greece), alongside with seedling survival were investigated to study the reproduction dynamic of species population known to represent a EU priority habitat type of limited distribution and with low regeneration rate. The seed cut test of an uncleaned seed lot revealed a high percentage of empty seeds (90.03%) and a low embryo viability (2%). Cleaned seeds were subjected to a total of 44 pretreatments, categorised into eight groups targeting physical and physiological dormancy, along with combinations of these techniques. Despite most treatments showing limited success in enhancing germination, three pretreatments exhibited promising results (germination between 22.22% and 39.40%). Subsequent germination tests involving these treatments in controlled chambers, as well as in field conditions, along with hydration-dehydration cycles, were conducted using newly collected seeds. Seed germination rates in controlled chambers remained low, suggesting a deep primary dormancy. Pretreated seeds, under controlled field conditions, passed two winter periods fully saturated, with 13 hydrating-dehydrating cycles in-between. Germination was maximised during the second year of the field experiment, reaching almost 100% after mechanical scarification for 6 sec., followed by immersion in 3% H2O2 for 2 h. However, seedling survival was low, reaching approximately 38.26%. The findings emphasise the challenges in germinating Juniperus excelsa seeds and highlight the importance of the optimised protocols for reforestation in order to conserve this habitat type.
Requirements for the Concept of the Implementation of Artificial Intelligence as a Tool for Preventing Corruption in the Public Sector
Authors: Strelcenoks Jaroslavs 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have enormous potential for preventing corruption in the public sector. However, at present, the use of AI in the public sector is not regulated. Consequently, the article aims to propose concrete steps and actions for the implementation of AI technology in the public sector with a view to using this technology as a new tool to identify and prevent situations of corruption.
The author conducted a study of Latvian state and local government officials in different regions and positions throughout 2023. In the article, the author analyses the research data on officials’ experiences with AI, their expectations about the effectiveness of AI in preventing corruption, as well as their basic requirements for the concept of implementation of AI.
The author of the article proposes to create a basis for the legal environment for the use of AI and recommends adopting the guidelines of AI on the following basic ethical standards: the priority of human well-being; prohibition of harm at the initiative of the AI system; human control; compliance of design with law; prevention of covert manipulation of human behaviour; built-in security. In the article, the author recommends creating a special procedure for testing and further implementation of solutions of AI, bypassing redundant administrative procedures. In addition, the author recommends stimulating anti-corruption institutions and developing approaches to issues of civil liability for mistakes made by AI technology.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Haemophilus influenzae is an aerobic gram-negative bacillus that can colonize the upper respiratory tract in humans. However, it is rarely recognized as a cause of invasive infections in adults. We analyzed invasive H. influenzae infections in patients hospitalized at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński Regional Specialist Hospital in Lublin (WSS) from January 1, 2022, to May 31, 2024. We observed a significantly higher number of invasive infections caused by this pathogen compared to the previous months analyzed (3 cases per month vs. 0.095 cases per month; p<0.05). Failure of empirical antibiotic therapy is often due to multidrug resistance of detected strains. The increasing trend of invasive H. influenzae infections is also reported by the National Reference Center for Bacterial Infections of the Central Nervous System.
The Relationship Between Economic Integration, Economic Growth and High Technology: Eurasian Economic Integration and Turkey
Authors: Çakmaklı Bahadır Murat 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Subject and purpose of work
Economic integration is an extremely important institutional structure for countries in international trade, which is highly competitive, with the level of globalisation, innovation and communication technology.

Materials and methods
Economic integration, which leads to the formation of a resilient economic wall, such as risk sharing, increasing investment opportunities, free trade structure, technology transfer opportunities, common competitiveness against countries outside the union, began in the modern world with the Second World War, and examples began to be seen around the world in the 1990s when globalisation accelerated. The analysis was carried out using the Todo-Yamamoto method in the SPSS program.

Results
Due to its geopolitical position (both historical and geographical proximity to Europe, Asia and the Middle East), Turkey is in a more advantageous position than other countries in the world in terms of establishing or becoming economically integrated. However, Turkey’s history of economic integration has been rather unsuccessful. The fact that it has not made a sufficient contribution to the integration it has established or attempted to become a member of, and that it has become a unipolar rather than a multipolar integrator, means that it has not achieved sufficient efficiency in terms of international trade. For this reason, our study analyses Turkey’s relationship with Eurasian economic integration, with the idea that Turkey is striving for multipolar integration. In our study, the impact of the Eurasian Economic Integration’s foreign trade with Turkey on Turkey’s economic growth and exports of high-tech products was analysed with the Todo-Yamamoto Co-Integration Test in two periods, 2002-2015 and 2015-2022.

Conclusions
As a result of the analysis, it is found that Eurasian Economic Integration has a positive effect on Turkey’s economic growth and exports of high-tech products. In the light of the data obtained, it has been assessed that the expansion of economic integration relations with the EEE and the benefits to be derived from the membership relationship will contribute to both Turkey’s economic growth and its technological infrastructure.

Authors: Sangwan Garima 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Subject and purpose of work
In the contemporary global economy, regional trade agreements (RTAs) and economic multilateral frameworks are crucial for establishing comprehensive norms and standards that enhance international trade, including the protection of intellectual property rights (IPR). This paper examines the role of IPR coherence in fostering trade and innovation, focusing on the European Union (EU) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).

Materials and methods
Through a comparative analysis, the paper provides insights into the complex dynamics between developed and developing regions, emphasizing the importance of harmonized IPR standards for a more inclusive and integrated global market.

Results
The EU, with its stringent regulatory standards, contrasts with the more flexible IPR approaches of the diverse Asia-Pacific nations in RCEP. The study explores the necessity and benefits of harmonizing these IPR frameworks to improve trade relations and stimulate innovation. It highlights China’s pragmatic strategy in aligning its evolving IP regulations with international standards while accommodating the needs of ASEAN countries.

Conclusions
The findings suggest pathways for enhancing IP protection standards and fostering mutual economic growth and innovation.
The prediction model for advertising campaigns in IPTV networks based on the possibilities of displaying geographically targeted messages
Authors: Chmielewska Aleksandra Maria , Grabowski Marcin Tomasz 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Subject and purpose of work
This paper presents a novel predictive model for advertising campaigns in IPTV networks that uses the advanced geolocation-based display of advertising messages. Thanks to advanced data analysis and modern geolocation technologies, the proposed model enables the more precise planning and optimisation of advertising campaigns. Advertisers can thus better understand the preferences and behaviours of audiences in different geographical regions. This allows the creation of more tailored and engaging content of programmes and advertisements, leading to higher levels of viewer engagement in the content presented and increasing the effectiveness of campaigns.

Materials and methods
For the purposes of the project, data from the IPTV advertising campaign covering from 50,000 to 500,000 displays between 23rd January 2024 and 20th March 2024 were used. The TERYT database and the list of counties were used to increase the precision of target group targeting. Viewer rating and interaction data were collected and analysed to assess the effectiveness of the campaign. The methodology included monitoring the number of channel switches, advertising message views, complete views, the average display time of the advertising message and unique reach in different time periods.

Results
The results of the test of the advertising campaign based on switching channels using a remote control show that increasing the number of ad plays clearly improves the effectiveness of reaching the audience. In the beginning, with fewer displays, the chances of an ad being noticed by viewers are moderate. However, as the number of displays increases, these chances increase exponentially, reaching nearly 45% at 500,000 ad plays.The analysis of these results is very important for the effective planning of advertising campaigns. Thanks to these data, advertisers can determine more accurately the number of displays that needs to be planned in order to achieve their marketing goals. The significant increase in the likelihood of reaching the audience with a bigger number of displays indicates that investing in additional views can be cost-effective and lead to the better use of the advertising budget.

Conclusions
The project confirmed that precise targeting and optimisation of the number of displays in IPTV advertising campaigns significantly increase the effectiveness of the advertisements. The high rate of complete views and the wide reach of the advertisements attest to the effectiveness of the strategy used. The test results show that smart campaign planning in IPTV can lead to better audience engagement and the more efficient use of the advertising budget. These findings suggest that IPTV has great potential as a modern advertising medium, offering advertisers the tools to effectively reach specific target groups and increase their engagement.

Authors: Joshi Jibin C , Chavan Aparna G , Sidam Shaila , Sahoo Anjan Kumar 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

BACKGROUND. Foreign bodies of paranasal sinuses are very rare in ENT clinical practice.

CASE REPORT. We will discuss the case of a 38-year-old gentleman who showed up at our Emergency Room with loss of vision in his left eye following a blast injury. The initial physical examination identified a ruptured globe in the left eye, which caused left-eye blindness. An immediate plain X-ray revealed a metallic object lodged in the left maxillary sinus, reaching up to the left sphenoid sinus. The external approach was used to manage the patient surgically, with no intra- or postoperative complications.

CONCLUSION. Inadequate managing of foreign bodies in the paranasal sinuses might result in significant morbidity. They must be removed surgically, either endoscopically or via an external method.
Investigating Calcareous and Silica Sand Behavior at Material Interfaces: A Comprehensive Study

Published: November 2024

Abstract
This study centers on the crucial determination of the mobilized friction angle between soil and various materials, including steel and concrete, to enhance the modeling of soil-structure interaction. The primary objective of the current investigation was to assess the interfacial friction between calcareous and silica sands when interacting with concrete or steel surfaces. To achieve this, direct shear tests were conducted to examine the impacts of relative density (Dr), surface roughness (Rn), and shearing direction. The test results reveal that the shear strength of calcareous sand surpasses that of silica sand when considering a specific Rn. Furthermore, the interface friction of both sand types escalates with an increase in normal stress and Rn, with higher values observed in interactions with steel plates. Notably, the friction angle ratio (the interaction friction angle over the pure sand friction angle) demonstrates minimal dependence on the sand type. The most pronounced divergence in the friction angle ratio is evident at the maximum Rn value, which increases alongside Rn values for both calcareous and siliceous sands. With increasing Rn values, the maximum shear strength, contingent on normal stress and relative density, also rises. The influence of relative density on the interaction friction angle diminishes with escalating surface roughness.
Collaborative Creativity: A design approach to systemic challenges navigating the innovation ecosystem
Authors: Quint Eric 
Published: November 2024

Unprecedented political, economic, health and environmental challenges in the world have made us react and reflect on things we have taken for granted. Companies and organizations became aware that proven approaches were no longer working, while the rapidly changing environments in which they operated required new momentum. Those driven by design were able to anticipate alternative approaches and used collaborative creativity and design thinking to shift their mindset and came up with creative solutions that kept their brands meaningful and relevant. This industry letter promotes the need for design to drive collaborative creativity among key stakeholders and its innovation ecosystem to the systemic level necessary to address these world challenges. It will further elaborate on the preconditions necessary for effective collaboration to become responsible partners that drive sustainable growth, balanced with care for humanity and the planet. The impact and value of design is determined by its design leadership and depends on how it is connected, aligned and integrated, first within the design function itself, second across the other business functions and third beyond the boundaries of the company in partnerships with other stakeholders. Understanding and aligning the key drivers and success factors of different stakeholder groups will be a prerequisite for making collaborative creativity work effectively and navigating the innovation ecosystem driving long-term societal progress.
