Authors: Ahmadov Tarlan , Ulp Siret , Gerstlberger Wolfgang 
Published: July 2024

As the world becomes increasingly aware of the negative impacts of human activity on the environment, there is an urgent need for sustainability. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are essential contributors to the economy and their role in promoting sustainability cannot be overstated. This study examines the role of stakeholders in promoting the sustainable development of SMEs, with focusing on environmental sustainability and innovation. Specifically, it investigates the role of customers, local governments, competitors, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This study employs a qualitative approach using 10 semi-structured interviews to collect data from SMEs operating in Estonia. These findings suggest that stakeholder engagement is crucial for promoting the sustainable development of SMEs. While the government may not play an active role in promoting sustainability, NGOs, consumers, and competitors can all play an important role in supporting SMEs' sustainability efforts. These findings provide insights into the various stakeholders that SMEs should consider in their sustainability strategies and highlight the importance of collaboration and engagement with stakeholders to achieve sustainable development goals. The study contributes to the understanding of the role of stakeholders in promoting sustainable development in SMEs, specifically in the context of Estonia.

Authors: Hernandez Raymond , Schneider Stefan , Jin Haomiao , Hoogendoorn Claire , Lee Pey-Jiuan , Pham Loree , Pyatak Elizabeth A. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Importance: Typical whole day workload is a metric with potential relevance to the occupational balance and well-being of individuals with chronic conditions.
Objective: To examine the reliability and validity of using multiple daily NASA Task Load Index measures (whole day TLX) as an indicator of typical whole day workload experienced by adults with Type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Design: Participants with T1D completed cross-sectional measures and 2 wk of ecological momentary assessments (EMA) and daily diaries. Reliability was assessed across subgroups (e.g., workers vs. nonworkers); validity was evaluated with multilevel confirmatory factor analysis and with tests of convergent and divergent validity with patient-reported outcomes and blood glucose measures.
Setting: Three outpatient endocrinology clinics in the United States.
Participants: Data from 164 U.S. adults with T1D (42% Latino, 30% White).
Outcomes and Measures: Measures used included the whole day TLX (assessed via 2 wk of daily diaries), time in target blood glucose range (assessed with a continuous glucose monitor), illness intrusiveness (measured cross-sectionally), and stress (measured cross-sectionally and with EMA).
Results: Number of days required for at least 0.70 reliability of the average whole day TLX ranged between 2 and 6 days depending on the subgroup. Results supported convergent and divergent validity of the average of the whole day TLX, including associations with average stress (r = .63, p &lt; .001) and time in target blood glucose range (r = –.25, p = .002).
Conclusions and Relevance: The whole day TLX was a reliable and valid indicator of typical whole day workload.
Plain-Language Summary: The health management responsibilities for Type 1 diabetes can be extremely burdensome. When these responsibilities are experienced, in addition to duties such as work and caregiving, the totality of demands experienced (i.e., whole day workload) can create further issues, such as unhealthy physiological changes and interference with self-care. We tested the psychometric properties of a measurement tool that assesses the typical level of workload people experience. This measure, referred to as the NASA Task Load Index (whole day TLX), was found to be a reliable and valid indicator of typical whole day workload. Occupational therapists may use the whole day TLX to track progress in interventions focused on reducing clients’ whole day workload exposure to promote their health and well-being. Occupational therapists’ expertise in areas such as activity analysis, task adaptation, and energy conservation makes them especially well-suited to intervene on whole day workload.

Abstract
Importance: Occupational therapy is one of the most used interventions for children on the autism spectrum. There is a critical need to develop an operationalized list of key treatment components of usual-care occupational therapy practice for children on the autism spectrum.
Objective: To identify and develop consensus on definitions and examples of key treatment components of usual-care occupational therapy for children on the autism spectrum, ages 6 to 13 yr.
Design: We conducted a Delphi study to obtain feedback from a panel of experts.
Setting: Electronic survey.
Participants: 17 occupational therapy panelists with expertise in autism intervention.
Outcomes and Measures: Panelists rated the definition and example of each treatment component and provided feedback through multiple rounds of survey.
Results: On the basis of the panelists’ feedback on Delphi Round 1, the criteria rating form was revised to include four questions for the definition and example of each treatment component. Through four Delphi rounds of consensus building, we developed an operationalized list of 20 treatment components with definitions and examples that incorporated elements of usual-care occupational therapy intervention for children on the autism spectrum.
Conclusions and Relevance: This operationalized list of treatment components serves as a foundational framework to improve education, practice, and research of occupational therapy intervention for children on the autism spectrum.
Plain-Language Summary: This study identified and developed consensus on definitions and examples of key treatment components used in usual-care outpatient occupational therapy for children on the autism spectrum. Through four rounds of consensus building with 17 occupational therapy experts in autism, we identified 20 key treatment components central to occupational therapy practice. Our results have the potential to serve as a framework to improve education, practice, and clinical research in autism.

Authors: Mushimiyimana Laurette 
Published: July 2024

The educational level of parents significantly impacts the quality of nutrition provided to their children. The specific research objective of this paper states the influence of fathers’ knowledge, attitude, and practices on children's lives at Kigeme refugee camp. A descriptive survey research design was employed. The target population was 850 fathers, and the Alain Bouchard formula was used to get a sample size of 264 respondents, where the inclusion criteria included fathers having children under 5 years old in the Kigeme refugee camp. Nutrition literacy theory was used to guide the study. A questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument. The findings revealed that 55.3% of respondents indicated that they did not know how or when a child can be taken for anthropometric measurements. 118 (44.7%) know, and they are interested. It was also found that 57.2 %, as indicated by the study participants, showed that infants have to start to eat at 6 months. Furthermore, the study found that the number of children who are not fed by their fathers is high, as confirmed by 79.6% of the respondents. The study concludes that fathers did not have efficient knowledge, practices, and attitudes toward the growth and feeding of their children under 5 years old, and a few who have such knowledge declare that they have no access to diversified food in order to prepare the recommended balanced diet for their children in the Kigeme refugee camp. The study recommends that there is a need to create opportunities for fathers to access the diversified food of their children and to expand kitchen gardens in Kigeme refugee camp, which could help them enrich their diet through vegetables gotten from them.
FUNDAMENTAL APPROACH TO PREDICT TIRE AIR PRESSURE LOSS OVER TIME
Authors: Assaad Mahmoud C. 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
Rubber material used in consumer products is vulcanized to improve its strength, viscoelasticity, and long and short-term durability. During the cure process, the morphology of the material evolves to form a highly crosslinked chain network, leading to a product that is less porous and less susceptible to air diffusivity. However, the formulation of the rubber compounds always create micropores or voids within them. Several laboratory tests are used to measure the material’s ability to resist the flow of air through it and to assess its porosity, especially under pressure. Residual-based integrated surface flux calculations are used to determine the evolution of air pressure as a function of time in an enclosed volume such as the cavity of an inflated tire. A finite element formulation was established for complex applications such as tires to predict the intracarcass pressure distribution. The capability of this simulation methodology was demonstrated for a tire with different inner liner compositions.

This research is entitled "Application of Information Services Through Audiovisual Methods to Parents to Minimize the Use of Gadgets in Early Childhood". The background of the study is that there are still many parents who give interesting impressions of gadgets for their children because they feel that the benefits of the content are suitable for their children or when their children cry parents calm their children by showing them gadgets, the longer the child begins to get addicted to see them again.The purpose of this study is to determine the application of information services to parents through audiovisual methods to minimize the use of gadgets in early childhood at the RA Muslimat NU 2 Foundation, Palembang City. This research uses a qualitative method (field research). The result of this study is that the use of gadgets in children before the provision of this information service, parents provide full access to the use of gadgets for their children, after the provision of information services parents begin to limit the use of gadgets to their children. The implementation of this information service was carried out as many as 6 meetings, 2 interviews before the provision of information services and interviews after the provision of information services. The implementation of providing this information service goes through 3 stages, namely, the initial stage, the core stage and the final stage (evaluation).
THE ROLE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIONS IN REGENERATIVE MEDICINE.

Published: July 2024

Regenerative medicine marks a paradigm shift in healthcare, transitioning from symptom-based treatment to leveraging the body's inherent healing mechanisms. It represents a convergence of nature and science, fostering innovative solutions for preserving life. Intellectual Property (IP) safeguards the expression of innovation and creativity across various domains, encompassing regenerative medicine. However, questions arise regarding its ability to meet patentability criteria and the ethical implications of granting exclusive ownership (Intellectual Property) to life-saving techniques, potentially hindering adequate Intellectual Property protection. Using the doctrinal research method, this article explores the breadth of regenerative medicine and the applicability of Intellectual Property protection to cutting-edge medical interventions, including regenerative medicine, aiming to strike a balance between comprehensive protection, commercialization, and public access. The paper draws valuable lessons from best practices and jurisdictions such as the United States of America and South Africa to promote innovation and foster access to regenerative medicine in Nigeria. It finds that one of the foremost challenges of the protection of regenerative medicine by Intellectual Property is the ethical concerns regarding the use of human cells, tissues and embryonic stem cells. It also notes some weaknesses in Nigeria's current regulatory framework and calls for stronger enforcement of ethical standards. It recommends among others the need for more awareness in the area where intellectual property and regenerative medicine connect. The work equally advocates for the need to update the Patent and Designs Act (PDA) of 1970 to allow for the registration of cutting-edge technologies including regenerative medicine.
AI AUTHORSHIP/INVENTORSHIP THROUGH THE LENS OF THEORETICAL JUSTIFICATIONS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Authors: Olubiyi Ifeoluwa A. , Irumekhai Oshobugie Suleiman 
Published: July 2024

The role of intellectual property (IP) law in incentivising innovation through the protection of the creations and inventions of the human intellect cannot be overemphasized. Artificial intelligence (AI), as an emerging technology, has had a significant impact on practically all sectors of society, including the field of intellectual property law. Its impact is felt in various fields of intellectual property law, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, designs, and image rights, among others. AI is increasingly testing the limits and provisions of national and international intellectual property laws. In recent times, the IP laws on authorship, creation, and inventorship, in particular, have been re-examined in the light of AI-generated works and the question of whether AI (a non-human entity) can be recognized as such for its creations, which are potentially protectable by IP Laws. This paper will examine the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and intellectual property rights. It examines whether AI authorship or inventorship can be supported by the theoretical justifications of intellectual property protection. Can these justifications be used to advance the legal recognition and protection of AI as an inventor, author or otherwise?

Published: July 2024

O desenvolvimento urbano está intrinsecamente ligado a uma variedade de elementos, que incluem políticas de crescimento e investimentos em infraestrutura que facilitam a mobilidade de pessoas e veículos. Os empreendimentos que promovem a construção de residências, estabelecimentos comerciais e instituições de ensino superior desempenham um papel crucial nesse processo. Esses empreendimentos, denominados como Polos Geradores de Viagens (PGVs) têm um efeito significativo na região onde estão instalados. Esses empreendimentos podem proporcionar benefícios sociais significativos, como acesso a serviços e oportunidades educacionais. No entanto, também podem impactar o trânsito da região onde estão localizados, contribuindo para congestionamentos. Em relação aos benefícios sociais, a existência de instituições de ensino superior em uma cidade pode promover o desenvolvimento intelectual e cultural da população local. Além disso, essas instituições atraem estudantes de outras regiões, podendo estimular a economia local por meio do aumento da demanda por moradia, alimentação, transporte e outros serviços. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo comparar os dados coletados no raio de 1 km das adjacências da faculdade com as informações no Plano Diretor do Município. A análise dos resultados indica que a UFCAT é um PGV determinante na forma como o desenho urbano da região se constituiu, sendo que os maiores anos de crescimento urbano também foram os com maior quantidade de novos cursos na Universidade.

Estudio diacrónico y sincrónico de la variación lingüística de tunante para el rescate de palabras cruceñas: un enfoque desde la lingüística cognitiva y la sociolingüística variacionista de Labov
Authors: Rioja Alicia 
Published: July 2024

El artículo se centra en la investigación lingüística de la palabra tunante, elemento de la identidad cruceña que está en proceso de desuso en el discurso cotidiano. El objetivo es analizar el cambio lingüístico de tunante desde una perspectiva diacrónica y sincrónica. En el análisis diacrónico se investiga cómo ha evolucionado el uso y significado de la palabra a lo largo del tiempo, mientras que en el análisis sincrónico se explora la variación en su uso y significado en diferentes contextos socioculturales en un momento dado. La referencia literaria fundamental proviene de la canción “El trasnochador”, del poeta Raúl Otero Reich (Otero Añez, 2018), donde la palabra Tunante se encuentra como: “Yo soy el trasnochador / tunando en la oscuridad…”. Sin embargo, la coexistencia de diferentes conceptualizaciones de tunante en un mismo territorio y tiempo genera posibles malentendidos. Por lo que se empleará como método el análisis de corpus lingüístico, la teoría de los prototipos de la Lingüística Cognitiva y la Teoría Variacionista de la Sociolingüística como fundamentos metodológicos para desarrollar un enfoque objetivo que contribuya a la redacción de un diccionario que rescate y preserve las diferentes conceptualizaciones. Para la muestra se utiliza como fuentes el Corpus Diacrónico del Español (CORDE), el Corpus de Referencia del Español Actual (CREA), el Corpus del Español del Siglo XXI (CORPES) V. 1.0 de la RAE, así como novelas, antologías y otros trabajos de investigación producidos en Bolivia. Los hallazgos diacrónicos abordarán el cambio lingüístico y los contextos históricos de tunante, mientras los sincrónicos explorarán las variaciones sociolingüísticas en uso y significado.
