Authors: Ayoma Godfred , Ajok Semmy , Amito Catherine , Obele Phedru , Okullu Daniel , David Mwesigwa David Mwesigwa 
Published: November 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to review the relationship between e-governance and local community development by specifically, focusing on four selected services, viz., universal education, youth welfare, reproductive health and agricultural development in Uganda.
Methodology: The study took a review of obtainable secondary literature by specifically looking at online materials both published works such as journal articles, policy statements, statistical reports as well as annual and/or quarterly reports. The choice of secondary literature, organized thematically, provided a wider purview of the scattered, yet vital aspects, pertaining e-governance in social service delivery.
Findings: The outcomes, from the review, indicate that Uganda has made several in-roads regarding universal primary education, youth welfare programs, reproductive healthcare services and agricultural development through various interventions aided by e-governance platforms. However, a number of systemic and structural challenges continue to pull-back national and local efforts especially seen from online mechanisms.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This review contributes immensely to the modern community transformation mooted in a digital era where enabling policies and practices can benefit from by reversing the impingements as well as the consolidating the success stories. We encourage the need for government to prioritize lowering the cost of internet services as a way of enhancing local community development; government should make sure that schools offering universal education should be facilitated with functional computer laboratories; government hospitals, at district level, should have a computer laboratory for data storage; and handy apps for farmers should be given priority so as to enhance smart agricultural development.
Un proyecto sobre el papel: el Palacio de los Soviets de Le Corbusier

Published: November 2024

El fin último de la obra es su construcción. Mas para Le Corbusieur "el papel" fue también siempre un vehículo válido de reconstrucción; como si las páginas de las publicaciones, lejos de ser entendidas como meros mecanismos de exhibición, detentaran además la posibilidad de devenir en documentos válidos capaces de prefigurar lo que la construcción certificaría más tarde. En este sentido, importantes serán para el maestro proyectos no realizados como el Palacio de los Soviets de Moscú (1931), editado y publicado por el arquitecto hasta los últimos días de su vida. Y es que si bien fueron varias las revistas en las que aparece este proyecto nada más finalizado su concurso, existieron también toda una serie de publicaciones posteriores en las que se nos desvelan algunos de los secretos más íntimos del proyecto. De ahí, quizás, el interés de estas últimas ediciones publicadas entre 1948 y 1965.
The effectiveness of capacitive and resistive electric transfer therapy for nonspecific chronic low back pain: A systematic review
Authors: Ismail Shumaila , Usa Hideyuki , Nidhya Krishnamoorthy 
Published: November 2024

IntroductionCapacitive and resistive electric transfer (CRET) therapy is widely used for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, including chronic low back pain (CLBP). However, the effects of CRET on nonspecific CLBP remain unexamined. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to investigate the effectiveness of CRET therapy for 3 months nonspecific CLBP.Material and MethodsSix electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, PEDro, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) were systematically searched for relevant literature. The quality of the included studies was assessed using PEDro scores. Furthermore, a risk-of-bias analysis was performed using the Cochrane tool for risk-of-bias assessment.ResultsSeven randomized controlled trials were included in this analysis, with 351 participants aged 18–70 years. CRET was compared with manual therapy, other modalities, or sham CRET (power off). Several devices, including Physio Radio Stim Pro, INDIBA Active Pro recovery HCR 902, and WinBack-TECAR, were used for CRET therapy. These findings indicate that CRET is an effective treatment option for immediate and long-term follow-up of pain reduction and improved physical function in patients with nonspecific CLBP.ConclusionsThis review is the first attempt to aggregate and synthesize evidence for the effectiveness of CRET therapy for nonspecific CLBP. The findings reveal that CRET therapy is effective for managing nonspecific CLBP. More randomized controlled trials are expected to be conducted in the future that will strengthen the evidence on the effectiveness of CRET for nonspecific CLBP.

Authors: Nguyen Ngoc Hong Phuc 
Published: November 2024

Pneumoconioses is a term used for the diseases associated with inhalation of mineral dusts. Certain types of pneumoconioses included in the definition are silicosis, asbestosis, coal worker’s pneumoconiosis (CWP), stannosis, and baritosis. Among these, silicosis, CWP, and asbestos-related diseases are the most well-known occupational diseases occur due to widespread exposures to silica, coal, asbestos, and various mineral dust in mining, quarrying, construction, and other manufacturing processes. Pneumoconioses has long latency periods and can often go underdiagnosed and unreported. Their associated illnesses such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, silico-tuberculosis, silica- and asbestos-related cancers often cause permanent disability or premature death.
In many industrialized countries, the intention in improving the occupational health of workers as well as environmental health of the community has been seriously managed. On the other hand, the issues of occupational respiratory diseases, particularly Pneumoconioses in other countries have been neglected. This literature review use data collected from Google Scholar and PubMed with keywords including Pneumoconioses in Vietnam, silicosis in Vietnam, occupational lung diseases, developing countries to locate relevant research. After that, we use criteria selection including year of research published, keywords to narrow down the number of references used in the paper. Out of 65 papers resulted from the first round of selection, there were 30 papers selected. The result provides summary of current situation of Pneumoconioses and silicosis in certain growing nations including Vietnam with potential interventions suggested to improve the health and environment of destination countries.

Published: November 2024

Abstract: Vocational or technical education is inseparable from the application and advancement of technology, particularly the Internet of Things (IoT), which has brought significant changes to various fields, including vocational education at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Makassar (FT UNM). Vocational education students require interactive learning media to facilitate their understanding of microcontroller fundamentals and IoT applications. The main issue addressed in this study is the absence of learning media based on microcontrollers and IoT applications. This study aims to develop an IoT-based microcontroller trainer media using three main types of microcontrollers: (1) ATmega, (2) Arduino Uno, and (3) NodeMCU. The trainer media is designed to enable students to learn programming steps, hardware integration, and IoT connectivity within a unified platform. The development method employed is Research and Development (R&D), encompassing stages from needs analysis to evaluation. Testing with students revealed that the trainer media effectively enhanced their understanding of microcontrollers and IoT. The implementation and trial results showed that 85% of students could utilize the product and practically and interactively analyze basic IoT concepts. This study demonstrates that the developed trainer media serves as an essential learning tool to support vocational education for students in Electronic Engineering Education.

Abstract: This work was conducted to investigate the adsorptive removal of iron (III) ions from simulated and ferriferous water using unmodified and modified waste PET-bottle/coconut husk composites. The waste PET-bottle/coconut husk composites were prepared by melt mixing and modified using ferric and ferrous chloride. The composites were characterized using the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The adsorption process was carried out using batch method while residual adsorbate concentration in solution was determined using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) analysis. The residual equilibrium concentrations results were applied to the kinetics, equilibrium and intraparticle diffusion analyses. The kinetics results of the adsorption showed that the most fit model based on the R2 values for the unmodified is the second order with a value of 0.79, while that of the modified composite correlated with the pseudo first order with an R2 value of 0.95. The highest rate constant was 2.29 g/mg min for PFO for the unmodified implying the shortest exposure and contact time per unit mass of adsorbent. The Freundlich and Sips isotherm models both correlated at 97% with the unmodified composite, while the Freundlich model was the most fit model for the modified composite with an R2 value of 0.87. Qmax calculated from Langmuir isotherm was 6657.91 and 7939.32 mg/g for unmodified and modified composites respectively, indicating a higher sorption potential for the modified composite. The modified composite gave a far higher and near unity R2 value of 0.96 for intraparticle diffusion than the unmodified composite with 0.46.

There was a strong link between workplace ergonomics and occupational diseases. Work-related illnesses contribute significantly to the total burden of occupational diseases. Information Technology (IT) professionals were more likely to experience physical activity limitations and nonspecific neck pain. Objective: To determine the association of craniovertebral angle (CVA) with nonspecific neck pain and functional limitations among IT professionals. Methods: Total 377 IT professionals participated in an observational cross-sectional survey. Non probability convenience sampling technique was used. CVA was evaluated using a manual goniometer, non-specific neck pain was measured using NPRS, and functional limitation was assessed by using the Neck Disability Index (NDI) questionnaire. The association of CVA with non-specific neck as well as functional restrictions was then found. Results: The mean age of this study was 29.43 ± 5.081. About 71.4% were males and 28.6% were females. The results showed that there was significant association of CVA with functional limitation (p value=0.01) and gender (p value =0.05). Also, a significant association was noted between functional limitations and non-specific neck pain (p value =<0.001). Contrastingly, no significant association of CVA observed with non-specific neck pain (p value =0.859) and with BMI (p value =0.721). Conclusions: The study concluded that there was no significant association of CVA with non- specific neck pain but recorded a significant association between CVA and functional limitation among IT professionals. Males were having a higher prevalence of forward head posture as compared to females.

ABSTRACT

The fourth industrial revolution brought skilled labor at social, methodological, emotional, and technical human resources. Considering the relevant workforce volume in Brazil, it is still unknown if these skills are being formed by the academy or by professionals. For that, we related skills 4.0 of literature with those identified in Brazilian human resources through a netnographic study. The results show dissociations between the framework variables. Technical skills are most often cited in professional curricula, while social, personal, and methodological skills are more present in the pedagogical projects of business schools. Findings imply that the complete professional enabled the skills 4.0 is scarce on the Brazilian market. Also, higher education has not kept the pace of digital transformation, evidenced by the low adherence to technology management skills.

Published: November 2024

Antidotum contra venenum effusum per fratrem Martinum de Atheca, praedicatorem (en endavant, Antidotum) d'Arnau de Vilanova és una obra molt especial, interessant per múltiples raons, però que, això no obstant, es conserva encara inèdita en dos manuscrits: el Vat. lat. 3824, de la Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana i el Canon. Misc. 370, de la Bodleian Library d'Oxford. Heinrich Finke, Franz Ehrle, Josep Perarnau o qui signa aquestes pàgines n'han publicat alguns fragments més o menys breus. No és estrany, doncs, que l'Antidotum només sigui esmentat de passada en els estudis arnaldians crítics. L'Antidotum és la darrera obra de caràcter doctrinal de la polèmica escatològica que Arnau de Vilanova va sostenir amb els professors de París i els teòlegs dominicans entre els anys 1300 i 1305.

Published: November 2024

O desenvolvimento e aperfeiçoamento de tecnologias para a geração de energia elétrica é um tema atual e de grande importância. Embora ainda esteja em desenvolvimento, a tecnologia da piezoeletricidade tem ganhado destaque nos últimos anos, como uma alternativa viável para gerar energia limpa e segura, estando a energia limpa relacionada com a capacidade que alguns cristais possuem de gerar energia elétrica quando submetidos a um efeito mecânico aplicado. Neste trabalho foi analisada a geração de eletricidade por meio da deformação de uma placa metálica flexível, na qual foram acopladas pastilhas piezoelétricas ligadas em série. Foi utilizado um fluxo de ar, gerado por um túnel de vento, de modo a desviar tal placa, submetendo as pastilhas piezoelétricas a um esforço mecânico, gerando assim, um potencial elétrico de intensidade proporcional ao esforço aplicado na placa metálica pelo escoamento do fluxo de ar. Desta forma, os esforços mecânicos gerados pelo escoamento do fluxo de ar na placa metálica flexível tornam possível a geração de energia elétrica, mediante o uso das pastilhas piezoelétricas. Os principais resultados mostram que é possível gerar energia elétrica limpa utilizando pastilhas piezoelétricas.
