Authors: Agha A. Agha , Uzoma O. Okoye 
Published: November 2024

The family is an integral part of society that is assigned enormous responsibilities, especially with the care of its members both children and adults. Terminal health conditions do not just affect the individuals involved but the entire family; therefore, when a family member is sick, the entire family is sick. This study aimed to interrogate the factors militating against families’ preparedness to manage the terminal health conditions of their members. Using in-depth interviews, data were collected from 13 families in Nsukka that were randomly selected for the study. The inclusion criteria were that the participant must be an adult member of a family who has taken or currently taking care of a terminally ill patient/family member. The interviews were transcribed and coded accordingly, and the data were analyzed using inductive thematic methods which helped to extract participants’ chronological experiences in caring for terminally ill family members. The results show that families and caregivers face chronic stress and exhaustion when caring for their terminally ill members. Participants reported pressure and socio-economic challenges as factors affecting the management of family members with terminal health conditions. The study has implications for social work and other service-based professionals in healthcare. It calls for the design of holistic care interventions, involving both the patients and family caregivers. The study also draws attention to the need to revitalize palliative care services at every level of the healthcare delivery system in Nigeria with options for home services.

GDPR Compliance of Hospital Management Systems in the UAE
Authors: Al Khatib Inas , Ahmed Norhan , Ndyiaye Malick 
Published: November 2024

While the UAE is making strides in healthcare digitalization and adopting global best practices, the absence of a unified data protection framework equivalent to the GDPR poses significant challenges for hospital management systems (HMS) in the region. This gap creates uncertainties in compliance, especially regarding cross-border data transfers, third-party vendor management, and the protection of patients' privacy rights. The lack of clear regulations tailored to the UAE’s unique healthcare landscape hinders the implementation of robust data protection measures, raising concerns about potential data breaches, legal liabilities, and the overall trustworthiness of healthcare institutions. Addressing these challenges is crucial for aligning the UAE’s healthcare sector with international standards while ensuring the security and privacy of patient data in a rapidly evolving digital environment. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has significantly impacted hospital management systems (HMS) by setting strict data protection requirements. This study provides a systematic literature review of GDPR compliance in HMS, focusing on key challenges such as regulatory complexity, permission management, data subject rights, data breaches, third-party vendor management, and cross-border data transfers. Suggested mitigation measures include privacy by design, data protection impact assessments, improved consent management, robust breach detection, and efficient vendor management. Legislative reforms are needed to clarify GDPR's application to healthcare. The study also highlights increased investments in privacy technologies, improved patient trust, and the demand for advanced solutions. Future research should explore the effectiveness of these mitigations, GDPR's impact on patient satisfaction, ethical data processing, and standardized data protection frameworks in healthcare. Achieving GDPR compliance is crucial for protecting patient data, building trust, and ensuring secure and ethical use of healthcare information. This study aims to guide healthcare organizations, particularly hospitals, along with regulators and researchers, in navigating these challenges and implementing effective solutions.

Hydrogen Sulfide Concentration Influence Toward Uniform and Localized Corrosion Rate of API 5L X65 Steel at Elevated Temperature
Authors: Azhar Liyana Yasmin , Jarni Husna Hayati , Alauddin Sakinah Mohd , Othman Norinsan Kamil , Yaakob Najmiddin 
Published: November 2024

Trace amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in a carbon dioxide (CO2) dominant environment reduce general corrosion rates by forming thin iron sulfide layers but increase localized corrosion. This study investigates how varying H2S concentrations affect the corrosion rates of API 5L X65 steel at 70°C. Using a 2 L glass cell setup, steel coupons were immersed in a solution containing 1,000 ppm NaCl and 500 ppm HAc for 7 d. Corrosion rates were determined through weight loss measurements, and surface morphology was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray analysis. H2S concentrations of 0 ppm, 30 ppm, 60 ppm, and 100 ppm were tested. At 0 ppm H2S, the uniform corrosion rate was 2.53 mm/y. The addition of 30 ppm H2S reduced the rate to 1.00 mm/y, showing a 60% inhibition efficiency. However, the highest pitting corrosion rate of 6.30 mm/y occurred at 30 ppm H2S, with a maximum pit depth of 123 μm. The results suggest that lower H2S concentrations lead to localized corrosion, while higher concentrations form a protective film, reducing corrosion rates.

John Dewey's Art as Experience in Korea and Japan
Authors: Bae Jiyun 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive overview of John Dewey's impact on education and aesthetics in Korea and Japan. While initially focused on education, the 1990s saw a growing interest in Dewey's aesthetics, with Art as Experience partially translated in 1999. The Korean perspective on Dewey's aesthetics extends mostly to philosophy of education and art education, but there are also efforts to deepen the understanding of Dewey's aesthetics itself. Also, the interdisciplinary impact of Dewey's aesthetics can be found in fields such as design and human-computer interaction. In Japan, Dewey's aesthetics received limited focus in spite of the “Dewey boom” from 1945 to 1970. Studies since the 2010s reconnect Dewey's aesthetics to his social and cultural context, highlighting its relevance to contemporary issues and emphasizing the public nature of Dewey's concept of democracy. The article also traces the historical development of Dewey studies in Japan, acknowledging the pioneering work of Tsurumi Shunsuke, who integrated Dewey's aesthetics into Japan's social fabric. While recognizing the biases and division of understanding in Dewey studies, the article concludes with a description of the renewed interest in Art as Experience in both countries since the 2010s.
Dewey's Aesthetics and Its Legacy in Poland
Authors: Koczanowicz Dorota , Reut Maria 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In this article, we examine the presence of selected themes of John Dewey's Art as Experience mainly in Polish humanistic thought. Our focus is on frameworks in which art-related experience is not only a distinct field of aesthetic research but is also a factor in understanding of art as a process modeled upon all other experiences. We outline philosophical, aesthetic, and educational contexts inspired by Dewey's multifaceted aesthetics, particularly in connection with contemporary considerations on democracy, the humanities, and creative practices. We give special attention to Dewey's explorations of literature, which substantiate the importance of the imagination as a preparation for ethical action.

Published: November 2024

В статье автор рассматривает специфику отрасли вторичной переработки, а также обосновывает, что бизнес по сбору и переработке вторсырья сейчас уже является достаточно высококонкурентной нишей, что следует учитывать тем регионам, которые планируют развивать рециклинг, в том числе на основе механизмов государственно-частного партнерства. Хотя на господдержку могут рассчитывать в основном крупные организации, представленные региональными операторами, практика показывает, что из всех участников рынка они пока в меньшей степени заинтересованы в развитии схем рециклинга – для этого у них сейчас отсутствует какая-либо мотивация, и в первую очередь, экономическая. В то же время на рынке представлены малые и средние предприятия, которые заготавливают или перерабатывают сырье, и переработчикам удобнее работать именно с такими организациями, так как они получают чистое сырье, готовое для производства продукта. В рамках исследования автором проведен анализ финансово-экономической результативности региональных компаний, работающих по соответствующему виду ОКВЭД, на примере Смоленской области, где автором осуществляется практическая апробация проводимых научных изысканий, а также сделаны выводы о важности развития рециклинга для устойчивого развития российских регионов.
In the article, the author examines the specifics of the recycling industry, and also proves that the business of collecting and processing recyclables is already a fairly highly competitive niche, which should be taken into account by those regions that plan to develop recycling, including on the basis of public-private partnership mechanisms. Although large organizations represented by regional operators can rely on state support, practice shows that they are still less interested in developing recycling schemes among all market participants – they currently lack any motivation for this, and first of all, economic. At the same time, small and medium-sized enterprises that harvest or process raw materials are represented on the market, and it is more convenient for processors to work with such organizations, since they receive clean raw materials ready for the production of the product. As part of the study, the author analyzed the financial and economic performance of regional companies operating under the appropriate type of OKVED, using the example of the Smolensk region, where the author carries out practical testing of scientific research, and also drew conclusions about the importance of recycling for the sustainable development of Russian regions.
Synergistic Manipulation of Micro-Phosphorus and Sulphur Incorporation on Carbonaceous Cathode Endows Superior Zinc-Ion Storage Performance
Authors: Pan Anqiang , Zhang Genqiang 
Published: November 2024

Aqueous zinc-ion hybrid capacitors (ZHCs) stand out as emerging electrochemical energy storage systems, combining the merits of low cost and impressive theoretical capacity. Nevertheless, unsatisfactory energy density and cycle life of ZHCs limit their widespread application. Herein, a simple one-pot approach was introduced to mitigate the issues through phosphorus and sulfur synergistically activated carbon nanosheets with hierarchically porous architecture (PS-HPCNS), deemed as a potential cathode candidate. The PS-HPCNS can show an excellent Zn-ion storage performance, including a high electrochemical capacity of 240.1 mAh g-1 under 0.2 A g-1, a decent energy density of 139.3 Wh kg-1 at 116 W kg-1, also a long cycle life over 50000 cycles with 84.6% capacity retention. Theoretical simulations combined with experimental analysis indicate that P and S dual-doping can enhance pseudocapacitance, significantly boost the interaction with Zn2+ ions and improve reaction kinetics. This work offers an appealing route to construct carbon cathode with superior zinc-ion storage ability and gives significant guidance towards advancing energy storage technologies.

Published: November 2024

Introduction:
Pediatric buckle fractures are common. Current literature supports a single provider visit with education and removable wrist brace/bandage, without additional follow-up visits. Potential overtreatment through casting and follow-up visits may impose a substantial environmental burden through waste generated from casts and vehicular CO2 emission. This study seeks to estimate the national environmental impact of buckle fracture overtreatment through geospatial analysis extrapolated from a review of buckle fracture treatment at our institution.

Methods:
A retrospective chart review was performed to determine incidence and treatment of buckle fractures at our institution between 2018 and 2022. All radiographs were reviewed to confirm appropriateness for inclusion. Data were collected for treatment, follow-up frequency, cast utilization, and patient home ZIP code. Buckle fracture incidence was computed using the total pediatric population served by our institution, derived from United States (US) Census data. Treatment was assumed to occur at the office of the nearest orthopedic surgeon, identified through the National Provider Identifier Registry. For cast waste estimation, we collected and weighed discarded short-arm casts from our institution and used the number of patients treated in a cast to estimate total waste. CO2 emissions were estimated to be 411 g of CO2 per mile, and mileage was calculated for round-trip distance to the nearest orthopedic surgeon and multiplied by the estimated number of unnecessary visits. Travel for the initial visit was not considered overtreatment and was not included.

Results:
Annually, the United States sees an estimated 66,495 buckle fractures, with 62.5% overtreated with casting. The average short-arm cast weighed 0.498 lbs ± 0.133. When additional visits occurred, there were an average of 1.2 additional visits. Each year, overtreatment of pediatric buckle fractures in the United States generates an estimated 9.4 tons of cast waste and 405.4 tons of CO2.

Conclusion:
Overtreatment of buckle fractures has a significant measurable environmental impact.
