A Potential Dynamical Origin of the Galactic Disk Warp: The Gaia–Sausage–Enceladus Major Merger
Authors: Deng Mingji , Du Cuihua , Yang Yanbin , Liao Jiwei , Ye Dashuang 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Previous studies have revealed that the Galactic warp is a long-lived, nonsteady, and asymmetric structure. There is a need for a model that accounts for the warp’s long-term evolution. Given that this structure has persisted for over 5 Gyr, its timeline may coincide with the completion of the Gaia–Sausage–Enceladus (GSE) merger. Recent studies indicate that the GSE, the significant merger of our Galaxy, was likely a gas-rich merger and the large amount of gas introduced could have created a profound impact on the Galactic morphology. This study utilizes GIZMO simulation code to construct a gas-rich GSE merger. By reconstructing the observed characteristics of the GSE, we successfully reproduce the disk warp and capture nearly all of its documented features, which align closely with observational data from both stellar and gas disks. This simulation demonstrates the possibility that a single major merger could generate the Galactic warp amplitude and precession. Furthermore, the analysis of the warp’s long-term evolution may offer more clues into the formation history of the Milky Way.
Amazon, Google and the Manufacturing Sector Industry 4.0 as a New Battlefield for Intellectual Monopoly Companies
Authors: Coutinet Nathalie , Flacher David 
Published: October 2024

The literature has discussed the intellectual monopoly power of big tech companies in the services sectors but it still did not catch the potential impact of these big tech companies on the manufacturing sector. The article develops an original contribution by analysing the potential impact of big tech companies which cater not only to the needs of consumers but also to those of businesses, through cloud platforms and direct investment in manufacturing activities. From the analysis of Amazon and Google, the article shows that these platforms increasingly target the manufacturing sector, by patenting more innovations in the field of “Industry 4.0”, by creating or acquiring companies in the field and by offering them cloud services. It concludes by discussing the specificities, consequences and research perspectives associated to the development of these “pansectoral intellectual monopolies”.JEL classification: L12, L16, L22, L60, O34, P12.
Une trame communale immuable ? La nécessaire géohistoire des communes françaises (1800-2024)
Authors: Bideau Gabriel , Verdier Nicolas 
Published: October 2024

Les communes constituent la plus petite des mailles de l’administration territoriale française depuis la Révolution. Ces entités sont également les plus nombreuses. L’évolution de ce maillage est peu connue. Cet article propose une approche spatialisée de l’évolution du nombre de communes françaises. Les données exploitées sont extraites de la base dite "Cassini" qui est ici présentée, tout en pointant ses limites. L’article analyse tout d’abord les rythmes de l’évolution du nombre de communes françaises. On note trois périodes de diminution rapide du nombre de communes : 1800-années 1830, années 1960-1970 et années 2010. Chaque période présente une géographie spécifique, qui invite à penser le département comme un cadre pertinent pour penser l’échelon communal, en raison du rôle que joue l’administration déconcentrée de l’État et particulièrement le préfet. Partant de ce constat, l’article propose une typologie des départements du point de vue de l’évolution du nombre de communes.
Les présences animalières dans Les Cerfs et Peau de Louve de Veronika Mabardi
Authors: Czerska Karolina 
Published: October 2024

L’article rend compte des stratégies d’écriture mises en œuvre par Veronika Mabardi dans son roman Les Cerfs et son conte Peau de louve quant à la présence d’animaux sauvages dans la fable. Dans chacun de deux textes, les animaux, d’une façon soit distanciée, soit très directe, assistent aux métamorphoses de la jeune protagoniste : Blanche pour Les Cerfs et Muriel pour Peau de louve. Les présences animalières sont tissées par l’écrivaine selon différentes modalités, ce qui semble correspondre à la complexité des relations humaines ; les deux univers ont des points communs dans la vision proposée par Mabardi.

Le parcours d’une centaine de mineurs isolés roumains suivis par l’association Hors La Rue et pris en charge par l’aide sociale à l’enfance de Paris
Authors: Bigot Régis 
Published: October 2024

À partir de la fin des années 1990, l’opinion publique a commencé à s’émouvoir de la présence, dans les rues de ses grandes villes, d’enfants isolés — sans référents parentaux — d’origine étrangère. En provenance de plusieurs continents (Asie, Afrique et Europe principalement). Une partie de ces mineurs isolés étrangers — notamment ceux d’origine roumaine — se sont retrouvés à errer dans les rues, à dormir dans des squats ou dans des gares, et à vivre d’expédients (vol, mendicité, travail au noir, prostitution). Dès 2002, l’association Hors La Rue a mis en place un programme de repérage et de soutien aux mineurs isolés étrangers. Ce programme a été créé spécifiquement pour répondre au problème posé par les enfants roumains. Historiquement, l’association avait en effet développé une connaissance de la culture roumaine et de l’aide aux enfants des rues.
Integrated development plan strategies for service delivery in Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality
Authors: Mpolweni Nadiswa , Kabange Martin , Fagbadebo Omololu M. 
Published: October 2024

Background: Following the end of apartheid in 1994, the democratic government recognised the importance of local government as a key vehicle for service delivery.Aim: This article examined the effectiveness of the integrated development plan (IDP) strategies of the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality (NMMM) as a public service delivery tool.Setting: In South Africa, poor service delivery has remained a challenge. This has been attributed to the challenge of transparency and accountability. Thus, the lack of access to basic needs is more profound at the local government level. While urban centres have access to certain basic facilities, rural communities such as Walmer and Motherwell townships remain underdeveloped.Methods: The study used a qualitative research design for data collection and analysis. Thirty participants were purposively selected among municipal officials, ward councillors and community members for semi-structured interviews. Thematic data analysis was used for the analysis of data.Results: Despite the IDP’s well-structured strategic framework, various challenges, such as insufficient community participation, inadequate resource allocation and a lack of essential planning skills among officials hindered its effective implementation.Conclusion: The study concluded that for the IDP to achieve its aims, its implementation should be evidence-based and responsive to community needs. Effective service delivery requires a fundamental transformation in municipal leadership and public participation.Contribution: The article presents the challenge of public service delivery within the context of the IDP strategies in a specific municipality. It serves as a signpost for understanding the implementation of the IDP as a public service delivery strategy.
Comparing the Functional Analysis of Baska® Mask with I-gel in Short Surgeries – A Prospective Randomized Trial
Authors: Seegur Darshan Devaraj , Shenoy Laxmi , Nayak U Keerthan Ranga , Thalepaddy Megha 
Published: October 2024

Aims:
We have compared sealing pressure, usability, and complications of two second-generation supraglottic airway devices-Baska® mask and I-gel.

Settings and Designs:
The study design involves prospective randomized controlled trial.

Materials and Methods:
The study was undertaken involving 44 patients of the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II, aged 20–70 years, who underwent surgical procedures of short duration under general anesthesia. Patients were randomly categorized into two groups of 22 each: Group B (Baska® mask) and Group I (I-gel). The main objective was to compare oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP).

Statistical Analysis:
Continuous variables were compared between the two groups using an unpaired t-test. Categorical variables were compared using the Chi-square test and insertion attempts using Fisher’s exact test.

Results:
Group B had significantly higher mean OLP (32.22 ± 2.52 cmH2O vs. 26.18 ± 2.42 cmH2O, P < 0.001). In Group I, 97.1% of patients had very easy insertion (Grade 1), 2.9% had easy insertion (Grade 2) and Group B had very easy insertion in 50% of patients, easy in 36.4%, and difficult in 13.6% of patients (P = 0.009). Group B took a longer time for successful insertion than Group I (39.89 ± 7.15 s vs. 28.19 ± 3.29 s, P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
For positive pressure ventilation, both I-gel and Baska® masks proved to be successful, with I-gel being easier and quicker to insert. It is possible to employ the Baska® mask with superior seal pressures as an alternative to endotracheal intubation in elective surgeries if there are no patient contraindications.

Authors: Nayak Mihir , Srinath Sarakanuru K. , Azher Umme , Srinath Sahana , Murthy Gargi S. , More Snehalika 
Published: October 2024

Background:
In our routine pediatric dental practice, many of us encounter parents and caretakers of Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) who complain about the difficulties they face in daily tooth brushing of their children. Some parents may have to accept defeat as their children face overwhelming medical conditions to cater to; ultimately leading to paradigm shift of oral hygiene leading to increase of dental caries and gingival problems.

Aims and Objectives:
To develop and validate a comprehensive tool that can help us in assessing parent related stressors and coping factors with regard to maintenance of oral hygiene of their children.

Materials and Methods:
Data related to stress and coping factors encountered during maintenance of oral hygiene of their children and their experiences during the child’s dental treatment (if any) were collected from parents of CSHCN. Validation and feedback from content evaluation panel experts were done.

Results:
A comprehensive assessment tool with 45 items (29 stresses related items and 16 coping related items) was developed after validation.

Conclusion:
We could develop and validate a ‘Stress and Coping Assessment Tool associated with maintaining Oral health among Children with Special health care needs’ – abbreviated as “SCATOCS” with a hope to benefit and manage oral health care to the referred population.
Assessment of the Scholastic Performance and Cognitive Functions in Malnourished Children of Primary and Secondary Class Students
Authors: Senthamizhan J. U. , Rajakumar P. G. , Muthusamy Rathinasamy 
Published: October 2024

Background:
Malnutrition is the consequence of a combination of deficiencies in protein, carbohydrates, and micronutrients. It includes undernutrition, overnutrition, and micronutrient deficiencies. Malnutrition is associated with both structural and functional pathology of the brain and reflects in poor scholastic performance and less cognitive functions in children.

Aim:
The aim of the study was to assess the scholastic performance and cognitive functions in malnourished children of primary and secondary classes studying in a school.

Methodology:
The study was conducted on 375 school children of primary and secondary classes. The nutritional status was assessed using the World Health Organization growth charts and classified based on their weight, height, and body mass index with malnutrition considered with values <−2 standard deviation for the age group. The scholastic performance was assessed using the school annual examination records and classified as good or poor scholastic performance with cutoff mark criteria of 50%. The cognitive function was assessed using the child mini–mental state examination (MMSE) test with the mean score for the age group. The scholastic performance and cognitive function were compared between the normal and malnourished groups. The variables were compared with respect to age, gender, standard, and P value obtained to see its significance. The variables were compared between the two groups in each class and test results were obtained. The correlation between each of the variables was also done.

Results:
Malnourished children were more in the primary classes (30%) than the secondary classes (13.2%). The scholastic performance in the normal group was increased than the malnourished group in both primary and secondary classes. The cognitive function based on the child MMSE score was also more in the normal group than in the malnourished group in both primary and secondary classes. There was a positive correlation between scholastic performance and cognitive function.

Conclusion:
The study results showed that the scholastic performance and cognitive function were decreased in the malnourished group than the normal group in both primary and secondary classes, implying that malnutrition affects the functionality of the brain and can cause long-term effects like poor cognition.
Transitional Infrastructures Extending Access to Safe Water in Informal Settlements: A Cross-Sectional Study in Nairobi, Kenya
Authors: Pessoa Colombo Vitor , Utzinger Jürg , Orina Fred , Otieno Michael , Meme Hellen , Chenal Jérôme 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT.
There is a pressing need for transitional water infrastructures in rapidly growing cities where conventional infrastructures lag behind human settlement expansion. In Kenya, sectoral innovations have addressed local socioeconomic challenges, but empirical evidence on their efficacy (combining quantitative indicators of safety and continuity) is lacking. We addressed this gap by comparing different water infrastructures in their ability to provide constant access to safe water in informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya. We conducted a cross-sectional survey including 1,147 households in two informal settlements. Water infrastructures were categorized based on their distribution system: 1) piped to premises; 2) piped to a neighboring compound; 3) public tap/dispenser; and 4) street vendor. We tested associations between these systems with two outcomes: constant water availability and diarrhea (stratified by age group). We used adjusted odds ratios (AORs) to test associations between distribution systems and the selected outcomes, while accounting for confounders. Obtaining water from public taps/dispensers or street vendors was associated with service continuity (AOR = 1.45, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.06–1.99; AOR = 11.16, 95% CI: 2.45–50.82). Piped sources were associated with service disruption, especially when obtained from a neighboring compound (AOR = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.28–0.70). Public taps/dispensers were the only system consistently associated with lower odds of diarrhea, notably in children under the age of 5 years (AOR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.29–0.79). Hence, in cities with a high prevalence of informal settlements and limited financial resources, public taps and dispensers hold promise as transitional water infrastructures.
Plasmodium ovale Malaria in Travelers and Immigrants to the United States: A Case Series
Authors: Mayhew Jonathan A. , Alali Muayad , Enane Leslie A. , Kirkpatrick Lindsey M. , John Chandy C. 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT.
Malaria in child travelers caused by Plasmodium ovale spp. is less well characterized than malaria due to other Plasmodium species. Commonly used diagnostic tests often lack adequate sensitivity to identify P. ovale spp., and a missed diagnosis may have serious consequences. We present a case series of eight children in the United States with P. ovale malaria, all of whom had traveled to or immigrated from malaria-endemic areas. Two children developed clinical malaria, including one with severe malaria; two had isolated splenomegaly; and four were asymptomatic siblings of the children with splenomegaly. Seven of the eight children had negative blood smear readings, and the diagnosis was made by polymerase chain reaction testing. Two children had concurrent P. malariae infection despite presumptive antimalarial treatment before immigration. These findings suggest a need for reconsideration of screening and diagnostic evaluation for P. ovale malaria in high-risk groups.
Partisipasi Masyarakat Dalam Penggunaan Layanan Mandiri Pada Sistem Informasi Desa (SID) Di Desa Marunggi Kecamatan Pariaman Selatan
Authors: Della Dwi Safitri  , M. Fachri Adnan  
Published: October 2024

Penelitian ini berdasarkan pada masalah minimnya partisipasi masyarakat dalam penggunaan layanan mandiri, pemahaman masyarakat yang masih terbatas, lambatnya respons terhadap masyarakat terkait penggunaan layanan mandiri, serta kendala jaringan dan sistem saat mengaksesnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan partisipasi masyarakat dalam penggunaan layanan mandiri serta faktor yang mempengaruhi partisipasi masyarakat dalam penggunaan layanan mandiri pada Sistem Informasi Desa (SID) di Desa Marunggi Kecamatan Pariaman Selatan. Jenis penelitian ini kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara dan studi dokumentasi. Untuk menguji keabsahan data, diterapkan teknik triangulasi sumber. Teknik analisis menggunakan model interaktif yang melibatkan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa partisipasi masyarakat dalam penggunaan layanan mandiri pada Sistem Informasi Desa (SID) sudah berjalan mulai dari tahun 2017 masih tergolong rendah. Hal tersebut dapat dilihat berdasarkan jumlah masyarakat yang menggunakan atau memanfaatkan layanan mandiri pada Sistem Informasi Desa sangat sedikit jika dibandingkan dengan jumlah masyarakat yang mengurus permohonan dan mencari informasi kegiatan desa langsung ke kantor desa bahkan langsung bertanya kepada kepala dusun. Minimnya minat masyarakat dalam penggunaan layanan mandiri pada SID dipengaruhi oleh ketidaktahuan masyarakat dengan kehadiran layanan mandiri dan kurangnya pemahaman masyarakat mengenai teknologi, serta kebiasaan masyarakat yang sulit dirubah agar terbiasa dengan digitalisasi. Adapun kesalahan-kesalahan yang sering terjadi dalam penggunaan layanan mandiriini juga disebabkan oleh budaya literasi masyarakat masih sangat kurang, saat penggunaannya jika terjadi kesulitan masyarakat cenderung langsung menyerah dan menganggap pelayanan secara online ini sulit. Faktor yang mempengaruhi partisipasi masyarakat dalam penggunaan layanan mandiri pada Sistem Informasi Desa di Desa Marunggi Kecamatan Pariaman Selatan yakni karena adanya kurangnya sosialisasi kepada masyarakat, kurangnya pemahaman masyarakat terhadap layanan mandiri, lambatnya respon dalam pelayanan, jaringan internet yang kurang stabil.

Enhancing financial reporting and management efficiency through enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems: A theoretical review for large-scale energy operations
Authors: Tolulope Ogundipe  , Somto Emmanuel Ewim  , Ngodoo Joy Sam-Bulya  
Published: October 2024

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have emerged as essential tools in streamlining financial reporting and improving management efficiency across various industries, including large-scale energy operations. This theoretical review explores how ERP systems enhance financial reporting by integrating real-time data, automating financial processes, and fostering transparency. In energy operations, where financial activities are complex and data-intensive, ERP systems centralize financial data, reducing errors, improving compliance, and supporting decision-making through enhanced visibility and accuracy. By automating tasks such as budgeting, forecasting, and financial statement generation, ERP systems enable energy companies to efficiently manage their financial resources, thus optimizing cost control and profitability. Additionally, ERP systems provide significant benefits for management efficiency, particularly in large-scale operations. The integration of financial, operational, and managerial processes within a single platform allows for better resource allocation, improved communication across departments, and faster response times to market fluctuations. These capabilities are crucial in the energy sector, where companies face volatile market conditions, regulatory pressures, and high operational risks. ERP systems enhance managerial decision-making by providing real-time insights into key performance indicators (KPIs), enabling executives to make data-driven decisions that support long-term strategic goals. However, implementing ERP systems in large-scale energy operations presents challenges, including high costs, lengthy implementation periods, and the need for employee training. This review also examines these barriers and suggests strategies for successful ERP adoption, including phased implementation, stakeholder engagement, and customization to industry-specific needs. In conclusion, ERP systems hold the potential to revolutionize financial reporting and management efficiency in large-scale energy operations. By leveraging ERP's real-time data integration and process automation, energy companies can significantly improve their financial management, enhance decision-making, and adapt more quickly to market changes.
