Published: August 2024

Background The study focuses on millennials employees, who are projected to comprise over 75% of the global workforce in the coming decade. Previous studies indicate that millennials, exhibit lower levels of commitment compared to prior generations. Thus, it is important to analyse the effect of a hybrid working system on enhancing the commitment of millennial workers. Objective This study discusses the impact of implementing hybrid work arrangements on organizational commitment through task autonomy, job satisfaction, work-life balance, subjective well-being, and the availability of information technology tools. Methods A judgmental sampling with convenience technique has been employed to reach the targeted respondents. A total of 495 responses were collected for statistical analysis facilitated by the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach. Results The hybrid working system can encourage millennial commitment if the impact of job satisfaction is seen as significant mediating variables. Although the implementation of the hybrid working system can increase task autonomy, when task autonomy is a mediating variable, it can reduce organizational commitment. However, further investigation is required. Conclusions The hybrid working system can effectively boost organizational commitment among millennial workers, particularly when job satisfaction is high, as it serves as a critical full mediating variable.

Perkahwinan bawah umur merupakan perkara yang berlaku bukan sahaja di Malaysia, bahkan di serata dunia. Perkahwinan bawah umur berlaku disebabkan oleh pelbagai faktor antaranya ialah masalah sosial yang berlaku di dalam masyarakat dan ianya juga dikatakan mendatangkan kesan negatif kepada kanak-kanak yang terlibat sehinggakan ramai pihak yang mempersoalkan hukum perkahwinan yang melibatkan kanak-kanak. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan hukum perkahwinan kanak-kanak dengan membincangkan mengenai kanak-kanak dari perspektif syarak dan juga konsep ahliyyah kanak-kanak dalam perkahwinan, seterusnya membuat kesimpulan mengenai perkahwinan kanak-kanak dari perspektif syariah. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah analisis dokumen dengan menganalisis kitab-kitab fiqh muktabar dari pelbagai mazhab dan mengambil kira pandangan fuqahā’ daripada mazhab yang berbeza agar penerangan mengenai had umur minimum perkahwinan bagi kanak-kanak dapat dijelaskan dengan lebih terperinci. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahawa syarat baligh bukanlah syarat sah perkahwinan, oleh itu kanak-kanak memiliki kelayakan untuk melangsungkan perkahwinan yang menjadikan hukum perkahwinan kanak-kanak itu adalah harus. Namun begitu, keharusan ini tidaklah bermakna bahawa ianya merupakan satu perkara yang digalakkan. Malah, keharusan ini tertakluk kepada maslahah dan mafsadah yang boleh terhasil daripada perkahwinan tersebut.

Authors: Strelkova A. V. , Flisyuk E. V. 
Published: August 2024

Introduction. The development of defect-free film coating modes is an urgent task when transferring film-coated tablets technology. Technology transfer is an integral stage of the life cycle of any drug approved for industrial production. During the development of the technological process, deviations may occur, to eliminate which it is necessary to introduce auxiliary operations or change the chain of technological equipment.Aim. Optimize the process of applying a film coating to tablets of the core of the vitamin and mineral complex.Materials and methods. The objects of the study were biconvex core tablets in the form of a boat of a vitamin and mineral complex consisting of vitamins C + E + B1 and minerals. To ensure the required technological properties, auxiliary substances were used: microcrystalline cellulose, sodium croscarmellose, potato starch, calcium stearate, colloidal silicon dioxide. Ready-made film-forming mixtures (Colorcon®) in beige Opadry® II 85F 270000 were used as film-forming compositions. The film coating was applied in the craters with a perforated drum BG-80 (Pro-face, China) and BGK-150 (Zhejiang Canaan Technology Limited, China).Results and discussion. The process of applying a film coating to the core tablets of a vitamin and mineral complex has been studied. The analysis of the current technological chain showed a number of disadvantages – a large amount of manual labor, the need for matting the drum, the duration of the process, low loading, braking of the production cycle due to lagging at the stage of applying the film shell. To solve the discovered problems, a project was developed to scale the technology at the stage of applying a film shell to tablets-the cores of a vitamin and mineral complex. During the implementation of the process, new equipment was purchased and installed for production. The development of the technological process made it possible to multiply the one-time loading into the boiler (by 2–3 times), automate the process due to the automatic operation function according to the parameters set before the start of the technological process, and exclude the matting of the drum from preparatory work. The quality of film-coated tablets has improved, and the risk of defects has significantly decreased.Conclusion. During the study, it was proved that transferring the film coating process to another piece of equipment can improve the quality of the resulting film-coated tablets and optimize the technological process. A multiple increase in the loading size is not carried out at the same time by changing the number of nozzles and the inner section of the hose for applying the film coating material.

African languages have long been marginalized and underrepresented in higher education curricula, in Africa and globally. However, there is a growing recognition of the significance of African languages in academic settings, particularly as a means of preserving and promoting cultural heritage and facilitating communication and knowledge transfer among diverse communities. Studies have shown that language plays a critical role in shaping individuals' identities and their ability to access and engage with education. Therefore, there is a dire need for inclusion of African languages in higher education curricula to promote cultural diversity and equity in education. The use of African languages can enhance the relevance and impact of academic research and facilitate greater community participation in educational programmes. This article critically analyses the status of teaching and learning African languages in 2 institutions of higher education in Kenya and South Africa. It adopted a qualitative methodology and comparative case study as a design. It generated data through documents analysis . The study revealed that the two countries are not at the same level in implementing African languages in their curriculum. Whereas universities in South Africa have African languages Programmes, the Universities in Kenya have no such programmes. Moreover, there are several challenges , including lack of resources and infrastructure to support language instruction and research, as well as a need for greater support for African languages in academic institutions. This study, concludes that the significance of African languages in higher education curriculum cannot be overstated. By promoting linguistic diversity, cultural heritage, , and enhancing the relevance and impact of academic research, the inclusion of African languages in higher education curricula can contribute significantly to the advancement of knowledge and equity in education.

Online gaming communities are crucial for social interaction and communication among diverse groups worldwide. Language variation plays a crucial role in shaping individuals’ identities and social relationships within these communities. Based on those initial thoughts, this research is conducted with aims at examining the involvement of regional variations and digital dialects in the formation of identity within PUBG player groups. The approach used in this research is a qualitative anthropological approach. This approach was chosen because it focuses on human behavior and cultural phenomena which needs in-depth explorationof reallanguage analysis used in everyday communication in communities. Data collection techniques include observation, in-depth interview, and field notes and data analysis conducted using theme development, pattern recognition, and theme naming aided by Nvivo software in the coding process analysis. The finding of this research identified the formulation of digital dialects, influenced by repeated linguistic habits such as found in the way they use and form slang lnguage and the adaptation of newcomers to community-specific language norms. Moreover, the research highlighted the role of language variation in fostering community bonding, enhancing in-group communication, and reflecting shared experiences among players. Overall, this research offers valuable understanding of the complex interplay among language, identity and community dynamic within online gaming realms which have never been explored by previous related research.

Published: August 2024

IntroductionThis study aimed to identify differences in voice characteristics and changes between patients with dysphagia-aspiration and healthy individuals using a deep learning model, with a focus on under-researched areas of pre- and post-swallowing voice changes in patients with dysphagia. We hypothesized that these variations may be due to weakened muscles and blocked airways in patients with dysphagia.MethodsA prospective cohort study was conducted on 198 participants aged &gt;40 years at the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital from October 2021 to February 2023. Pre- and post-swallowing voice data of the participants were converted to a 64-kbps mp3 format, and all voice data were trimmed to a length of 2 s. The data were divided for 10-fold cross-validation and stored in HDF5 format with anonymized IDs and labels for the normal and aspiration groups. During preprocessing, the data were converted to Mel spectrograms, and the EfficientAT model was modified using the final layer of MobileNetV3 to effectively detect voice changes and analyze pre- and post-swallowing voices. This enabled the model to probabilistically categorize new patient voices as normal or aspirated.ResultsIn a study of the machine-learning model for aspiration detection, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values were analyzed across sexes under different configurations. The average AUC values for males ranged from 0.8117 to 0.8319, with the best performance achieved at a learning rate of 3.00e-5 and a batch size of 16. The average AUC values for females improved from 0.6975 to 0.7331, with the best performance observed at a learning rate of 5.00e-5 and a batch size of 32. As there were fewer female participants, a combined model was developed to maintain the sex balance. In the combined model, the average AUC values ranged from 0.7746 to 0.7997, and optimal performance was achieved at a learning rate of 3.00e-5 and a batch size of 16.ConclusionThis study evaluated a voice analysis-based program to detect pre- and post-swallowing changes in patients with dysphagia, potentially aiding in real-time monitoring. Such a system can provide healthcare professionals with daily insights into the conditions of patients, allowing for personalized interventions.Clinical Trial Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT05149976

Published: August 2024

BackgroundEndometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of women during their reproductive years. The relationship between the severity and location of endometriosis and menstruation, ovulation, reproductive function, and mode of delivery remains unclear.MethodsWe explored the association between the various phenotypes of endometriosis and menstruation, ovulation, reproductive function, and mode of delivery, using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) and summary data on endometriosis stages and locations from the FinnGen consortium and women’s menstruation, ovulation, reproductive function, and mode of delivery from OpenGWAS and ReproGen. Inverse-variance weighting was used for the primary MR analysis. In addition, a series of sensitivity analyses, confounding analyses, co-localization analyses, and multivariate MR analyses were performed.ResultsMR analysis showed a negative effect of moderate to severe endometriosis on age at last live birth (OR = 0.973, 95% CI: 0.960–0.986) and normal delivery (OR = 0.999, 95% CI: 0.998–1.000; values for endpoint were excluded), ovarian endometriosis on age at last live birth (OR = 0.976, 95% CI: 0.965–0.988) and normal delivery (OR = 0.999, 95% CI: 0.998–1.000; values for endpoint were excluded), and fallopian tubal endometriosis on excessive irregular menstruation (OR = 0.966, 95% CI: 0.942–0.990). Bidirectional MR analysis showed that age at menarche had a negative causal effect on intestinal endometriosis (OR = 0.417, 95% CI: 0.216–0.804). All MR analyses were confirmed by sensitivity analyses, and only the genetic effects of moderate to severe endometriosis on normal delivery and age at last live birth were supported by co-localization evidence.ConclusionOur findings deepen the understanding of the relationship between various types of endometriosis and menstruation, ovulation, reproductive function, and mode of delivery and clarify the important role of moderate to severe endometriosis.

Published: August 2024

IntroductionSince their identification in 1974, circoviruses have caused clinicopathological diseases in various animal species, including humans. However, their origin, transmission, and genetic evolution remain poorly understood.MethodsIn this study, the genome sequences of circovirus were obtained from GenBank, and the Bayesian stochastic search variable selection algorithm was employed to analyzed the evolution and origin of circovirus.ResultsHere, the evolutionary origin, mode of transmission, and genetic recombination of the circovirus were determined based on the available circovirus genome sequences. The origin of circoviruses can be traced back to fish circovirus, which might derive from fish genome, and human contributes to transmission of fish circovirus to other species. Furthermore, mosquitos, ticks, bats, and/or rodents might play a role as intermediate hosts in circovirus intra- and inter-species transmission. Two major lineages (A and B) of circoviruses are identified, and frequent recombination events accelerate their variation and spread. The time to the most recent common ancestor of circoviruses can be traced back to around A.D. 600 and has been evolving at a rate of 10-4 substitutions site-1 year-1 for a long time.DiscussionThese comprehensive findings shed light on the evolutionary origin, population dynamics, transmission model, and genetic recombination of the circovirus providing valuable insights for the development of prevention and control strategies against circovirus infections.

Published: August 2024

BackgroundFemale genital schistosomiasis (FGS) is characterised by cervico-vaginal lesions such as grainy sandy patches, homogeneous yellow sandy patches, and abnormal blood vessels. Diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance of FGS presents challenges due to the absence of diagnostic tools in endemic areas. Likewise, a tool for quantification of the lesions is missing. This study aimed to validate the digital gridded imaging technique (DGIT) for quantification of three specific cervical lesion types associated with FGS.MethodsUsing the QubiFier software program, 70 cervical photographic images obtained from women diagnosed with FGS and treated with Praziquantel (PZQ) were randomly sampled for a validation study. The women lived in a S. haematobium-endemic area of Madagascar. For each image, a semi-transparent grid was applied, composed of 424 equally sized squares positioned to cover the cervix. Squares exhibiting any of the specific lesions were marked by three observers to determine the grainy sandy patches proportion (GSP), homogeneous yellow sandy patches proportion (HSP), and abnormal blood vessel proportion (BVP). To train the observers, a set of ten images was utilized, leaving 60 images for the validation. To test inter-rater reliability, the 60 cervical images were scored independently by three observers. To test intra-rater reliability, ten images were scored twice with a two-week interval. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used as the main statistical method to assess the reliability between observers.ResultsThe median age of the included women was 26.5 (IQR 20.8-33.0) years, and 74% of them had detectableS. haematobiumeggs in their urine. The three proportions were found to be consistent and reliable across the observers, as well as the rescoring on Days 0 and 14. Inter-rater reliability was good for all three cervical lesion types (ICC 0.768-0.890). Intra-rater reliability was good for GSP (ICC 0.832) and excellent for HSP and BVP (ICC 0.932 and 0.982, respectively).ConclusionIn this study DGIT was validated as a potential morbidity detection method for quantification of the three lesion types associated with FGS.
