Diabetes mellitus is a chronic or chronic disease characterized by increased blood glucose levels because the body is unable to produce insulin. Self-awareness is a person's ability to recognize feelings, be able to control themselves, and have a strong belief in their strengths and weaknesses. One's self-awareness is needed to improve the quality of life. Quality of life is a person's thoughts regarding satisfaction or well-being from various aspects of physical, psychological, social and environmental health. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between the level of self-awareness and the quality of life in diabetes mellitus sufferers in the Wonosari Health Center area, Bondowoso Regency. This research uses a correlational design with a cross sectional approach. The sampling technique used was Quota Sampling with a total sample of 86 respondents. The results of this research showed that 61 respondents (70.9%) had a high level of self-awareness and the majority of 47 respondents (54.7%) had a high quality of life. Based on the results of statistical tests using the Spearman Rank (Rho) test with α=0.05, a p value of 0.001 was obtained, and an r value of 0.703 means that there is a strong relationship between the level of self-awareness and the quality of life in diabetes mellitus sufferers in the Wonosari Health Center area, Bondowoso Regency.

INTRODUCTION: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a common and potentially fatal presentation of cardiovascular disease. Once a diagnosis is made, prompt intervention is crucial, with substantial effect on morbidity and even mortality.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the adherence of physicians of a tertiary care hospital to American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology performance measures for the management of acute STEMI patients.

METHODOLOGY: This was a descriptive retrospective chart review of acute STEMI patients seen in a tertiary care hospital over a 2-year period.

RESULTS: A total of 118 STEMI patients were included in the study. Mean age was 57.8 years with male predominance. High adherence rates (100% achievement score) to recommended discharge medications and counseling for smoking cessation were observed. However, performance measures for time to reperfusion therapy via percutaneous coronary intervention (average, 16.7% over 2 years) and referral to cardiac rehabilitation (average, 38.0%) were consistently low, although time to percutaneous coronary intervention improved from an average of 170 minutes to 142 minutes in the second year of this study.

CONCLUSION: For 2 consecutive years, all STEMI patients seen in our institution were adequately managed with regard to recommended medications. All patients have been advised lifestyle change, particularly smoking cessation for current smokers. There is room for improvement with regards to time to reperfusion therapy and referral to cardiac rehabilitation. Some measures have been suggested, including shortening the time to secure patient consent.

The country's development is mainly concerned with the foundation of a stable economy. An efficient financial system is mandatory for the development of solid economy. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are essential in stabilizing the economy. This is remarkably accurate in emerging economies like Pakistan. The objective of financial liberalization is to facilitate financing access and stimulate investment. However, the impact of this policy on SMEs can vary based on factors such as the regulatory framework, market structure, and institutional support. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the impact of financial liberalization on SMEs to foster inclusive economic growth and shape policy development. The study intends to find whether or not the growth of small and medium enterprises depends upon the government's financial liberalization policies. Using the ARDL econometric method, we find that Shareholder’s Equity is positively associated with SME growth rate, holding other variables constant. Moreover, total assets positively affect the SMEs' growth rate. Financial Development does not have a statistically significant effect on SME growth in the short run. Economic Growth rate positively influences SME growth. External financing changes may not immediately affect SME growth in the short run. The results show that changes in the number of bank branches do not significantly affect SME growth in the short run.
Francopol, un espace renouvelé ou parmi d’autres de l’histoire de la coopération policière internationale ?1
Authors: Campion Jonas 
Published: November 2024

Francopol est un réseau de coopération entre polices actives dans des espaces francophones qui a été fondé en 2008, après une longue phase de maturation. Sa naissance a notamment été portée par des acteurs québécois, à la suite des réformes de la formation policière dans la province et dans le cadre d’une politique internationale volontariste. Dans cet article, nous dressons l’histoire de cette naissance et de l’activité du réseau, et tentons par ce biais de le replacer dans une perspective longue de logiques de coopérations entre polices pour en comprendre les termes, les activités et les effets. Il s’agit de déterminer si et à quel titre Francopol est original par rapport à des structures antérieures ou toujours actives de coopération. Sur la base des archives de l’association et d’une démarche d’histoire orale menée avec certains de ses acteurs initiaux, les points abordés sont multiples : l’aspect linguistique et l’éclatement géographique du réseau, la signification de la formation policière et, enfin, les logiques de gestion et de circulation de l’information entre les membres de Francopol.
Un siècle de traduction (ou non) d’affiches électorales au Québec1
Authors: Pomerleau Marc , Kalantari Esmaeil 
Published: November 2024

La traduction est généralement perçue comme une activité de transfert linguistique d’une langue source vers une langue cible, ou comme le résultat de ce transfert. Les études traductologiques révèlent toutefois que la traduction est aussi une pratique sociale, notamment parce que le choix des textes à traduire et la façon de les traduire sont conditionnés par le contexte social et politique de la société qui accueille les traductions. Dans cette optique, notre étude de cas portant sur la traduction des affiches électorales au Québec démontre que les pratiques de traduction mises de l’avant par les partis politiques québécois au cours du XXe et au début du XXIe siècle reflètent l’évolution de la réalité sociale et politique de la société québécoise au cours de cette période.

Published: November 2024

Lac cultivation in Koderma District, Jharkhand, offers a unique pathway for empowering rural women, serving as a significant source of income and socio-economic upliftment. This review examines the depth of women’s participation in various stages of lac production, from inoculation to processing, and how their involvement translates into empowerment. Despite facing challenges like gender discrimination, limited access to resources, and market constraints, women in Koderma have demonstrated resilience and adaptability. Lac cultivation has provided them with financial independence and enhanced social recognition and decision-making power within their households and communities. Initiatives by the government and NGOs have played a critical role in facilitating this shift, offering training, market access, and financial support to enable women to break socio-cultural barriers. However, for sustained empowerment, addressing the existing gaps in technology access, market linkage, and equitable resource distribution is essential. This article aims to explore lac cultivation's role in empowering rural women in Koderma District, Jharkhand, by examining their participation in the production process and its impact on their socio-economic upliftment (Pal G., 2011). It aims to highlight women's challenges, the contributions of government and NGO initiatives, and the need for improved policies, technology, and market access to ensure sustained empowerment and equitable participation in the lac industry.

AbstractBoron, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms can form various building blocks for further construction of structurally well‐defined 2D materials (2DMs). Both in theory and experiment, it has been documented that the electronic structures and optical properties of 2DMs are well tunable through a rational design of the material structure. Here, the recent progress on 2DMs that are composed of B, C, N, and O elements is introduced, including borophene, graphene, h‐BN, g‐C3N4, organic 2D polymers (2DPs), etc. Attention is put on the band structure/bandgap engineering for these materials through a variety of methodologies, such as chemical modifications, layer number and atomic structure control, change of conjugation degree, etc. The optical properties, such as photoluminescence, thermoluminescence, single photon emission, as well as the associated applications in bioimaging and sensing, are discussed in detail and highlighted.

AbstractLight/laser‐induced voltage (LIV) phenomenon is discovered for decades, which seems quite promising in light/photovoltage‐related applications, but actually the LIV improvement is quite limited (several volts level) even after long‐term endeavors. To this end, an A‐site doubling tailoring strategy is explored in high‐Tc superconducting perovskite to endow enhanced structural bidimensionality in terms of decoupling between 2D superconducting planes. High‐quality (La1.6–xNd0.4)BaxCuO4 (LNBCO; x = 0.125–0.20) epitaxial films with A‐site Ba/Nd doping are fabricated by pulsed laser deposition method. The LNBCO films exhibit ultrahigh laser‐induced voltages (LIVs), especially the superior LIVs of higher than 50 V for x = 0.15 and 0.175 and show fast rising time (<85 ns) and long response time (>100 ns). Such a high LIV is several orders/folds larger than that of the existing high‐Tc superconductors and other materials reported to date. Systematic influences are investigated in terms of laser irradiation conditions, tilting angle, Seebeck coefficient, etc., suggesting the high LIVs are correlated to charge transport. Simultaneous tailoring over A‐site Ba and Nd in LNBCO causes weaken coupling between the CuO2 planes because the La/Ba/Nd‐O bonds are elongated and charges are localized within Cu or CuO2 plane. This enables accelerating the charge transport anisotropically, a consequence of enhanced bidimensionality.

Published: August 2018

AbstractOrganometallic perovskites are candidates for low‐dose ionizing radiation due to their large mobility‐lifetime product, large radiation absorption coefficient, high stability at ambient temperature, and ability to crystallize from solution at low temperatures. However, multiple unstable and expansive organic layers are required to block injected charges from the applied voltage. Here, a radiation photodiode based on p–n junctions formed in the CH3NH3PbI3 crystallization process without any other organic layers is reported. Through controlling the location of the dopant, selenium (Se), and its concentration inside CH3NH3PbI3 single crystals, the valence band offset of the band alignment is measured as 0 to 0.45 eV. The photodiodes require only two gold electrodes deposited on opposite faces of the CH3NH3PbI3 single crystals, and the sensitivity for 60 keV X‐ray and 1.25 MeV gamma‐ray from Cobalt‐60 reached 21 µC mGyair cm−2 and 41 µC Gyair cm−2, respectively. Experiments measured the ultrafast response time to be 3 µs.

Published: August 2018

AbstractMultiplexing the signal readout from the organic photodetector matrix is essential for high‐resolution and large‐area imaging applications. This endeavor can be realized by pixels containing photodiodes and switching elements, such as transistors or blocking diodes. The use of blocking diodes is beneficial for simpler fabrication and fewer wires than transistors. However, imagers with blocking diodes can always require additional voltage to turn off the unselected lines, which causes high standby power and increased complexity of the readout circuit. In this study, low standby power organic imagers are realized that are suitable for wearable optical imaging applications in which resources for power and readout circuits are limited. Pixels with a vertical stack of organic photodiodes and blocking diode layers are investigated. By increasing the built‐in potential of blocking diodes, the turn‐on voltage of the monolithically stacked photodiode‐blocking diode device can be adjusted to enable its turn‐off at 0 V. This leads to a three‐orders‐of‐magnitude reduction of the current of pixels at 0 V. With these pixels, imagers based on organic photodiode‐blocking diode stack devices are demonstrated with improved image quality and substantially reduced crosstalk current, while operating at zero standby power.

AbstractTo enhance the luminescent performance of aggregation‐induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) but also retain their blue emission color, 2‐CzTPE and 2,7‐CzTPE with promising AIE features are synthesized to balance the trade‐off between twisted molecular conformation and enlarged molecular conjugation. As observed, although 2‐CzTPE, which contains twisted molecular backbone, could suppress the emission‐quenching π–π stacking, an inferior luminescent performance with photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of 23.12% occurs in aggregated solid state for its limited molecular conjugation, then leading to an inferior electroluminescence (EL) performance with external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 1.9%. However, after molecular engineering of backbone to enlarge its conjugation in 2,7‐CzTPE, significantly enhanced PLQY value of 60.63% is achieved in solid state. Interestingly, the emission of 2,7‐CzTPE remains in the blue region, which is even identical to that of 2‐CzTPE in aggregates. Finally, much better EL performance in nondoped OLEDs with current efficiency of 7.38 cd A−1, power efficiency of 6.81 lm W−1, and also EQE of 3.0% is achieved for 2,7‐CzTPE‐based devices. These findings demonstrate that manipulating molecular backbone to achieve the balanced molecular conjugation and twisted conformation is an efficient way to obtain highly emissive blue AIEgens in both aggregated state and OLEDs devices.
