Authors: Talboom Arno , van Bergen Liesbeth , Van den Broeck Sylvie , Gaillard Marie , Komen Niels 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background:
In contemporary medical practice, ambulatory anorectal surgeries have become the standard for proctological procedures. The rate of unplanned healthcare utilization following these procedures in our hospital is unknown.

Objectives:
This study aims to assess the incidence of unplanned healthcare utilization following ambulatory anorectal surgeries.

Design:
A retrospective observational study.

Setting:
University Hospital of Antwerp.

Materials (Patients) and Methods:
Patients who underwent ambulatory anorectal surgeries during a period of three years, from 2017 to 2019.

Sample Size:
One hundred and twenty-eight patients.

Main Outcome Measures:
The incidence of unplanned medical healthcare utilization.

Results:
Among the 124 patients included in the study, 55 (44.4%) sought medical attention from the emergency department or their general practitioners within the first 30 postoperative days. The reasons for these unplanned returns varied: 16 patients (29.6%) experienced wound problems, 15 patients (27.8%) reported postoperative pain, four patients (6.7%) encountered administrative issues, seven patients (13%) sought information or reassurance, and six patients (11.1%) had other reasons. Notably, no significant risk factors associated with unplanned returns were identified.

Conclusions:
Nearly half of the patients who underwent ambulatory anorectal surgery sought medical care before their scheduled follow-up appointments, indicating a need for enhanced preoperative and postoperative patient counseling. In addition, earlier follow-up consultations and a review of pain medication prescriptions must be considered.

Limitations:
Retrospective design constraints leading to possible data exclusions.

Conflict of Interest:
The authors have no conflict of interest to declare.
Organizaciones criminales: la intimidación como estrategia del poder
Authors: Coronado Rincon Oscar , Osorio Montoya Rodrigo Orlando 
Published: July 2024

Las organizaciones criminales, se han convertido, al día de hoy, en el fenómeno que más cuestiona a las sociedades actuales, como a las disciplinas del Derecho y su doctrina jurídico-penal y procesal penal. Si bien es cierto, que comienzan como grupos delincuenciales comunes, terminan siendo una sociedad paralela que busca operar dentro y fuera del Estado, involucrando estructuras autorreguladas normativamente, complejas, disciplinadas y muchas veces contagiando la clase política.

En este sentido, la delincuencia organizada es uno de los problemas más graves por los que atraviesa el mundo globalizado, en atención a sus crímenes trasnacionales de toda índole, el dominio territorial, económico, militar y hasta tecnológico; lo que las convierte en una amenaza para la estabilidad de las naciones, sus relaciones internacionales y los derechos humanos.

Las características que rodean e identifican a las organizaciones criminales, así como las que las diferencian, dificultan las investigaciones penales, su procesamiento y desmantelamiento dada la facilidad, que tienen para penetrar las fronteras físicas, en la red y a la inmersión en actividades legales o con apariencia de legalidad; siempre en atención a sus necesidades de expansión y control, características que les son propias.

Con base en lo anterior, se puede decir que, las estructuras organizadas de criminalidad, permean todos los ámbitos sociales, cubriendo con su manto de la corrupción a políticos y empresarios, desestabilizando la naciones desde el seno de su institucionalidad, haciendo del alma del Estado un paraestado, incapacitado para su control jurídico-penal, disciplinario y administrativo, so pena de tener que condenarse a sí mismo, posibilitando una puerta a las reflexiones de conveniencia política, económica y éticas; en aras de hacer reconocimientos vergonzosos y graves que desestabilizan las relaciones internacionales y las relaciones instituciones del Estado.

Se está de cara a una epidemia mortal y mundial, que obliga a conocer sus elementos, características, génesis, desarrollo y mutaciones. Impone a estructurar estrategias y figuras internacionales de tipo jurídico-políticas, entre otros; para evitar que sigan creciendo, evolucionando y planeando nuevas estrategias de cooperación, alianzas, reorganización y fusión entre ellas; haciendo imposible el ejercicio de control jurídico-penal para su desmantelamiento. Es innegable que se hacen cosas para evitar su aumento. Sin embargo, aún falta mucho por hacer, lo que permite que estas estructuras ilegales le lleven la delantera a los Estados.

E-Governance and Bureaucratic Corruption in Nigeria
Authors: Samson Olamide 
Published: July 2024

Purpose: This paper is an inquiry into the issue of bureaucratic corruption in Nigeria and how e-governance can serve as a panacea. The purpose of the paper is to assess the link between e-governance and bureaucratic corruption in Nigeria. Public officials' perceptions of bureaucratic corruption and e-governance in the country are also examined.
Methodology: The paper brings together anecdotal and statistical evidence that indicates a significant nexus between e-governance and reduction of bureaucratic corruption. It is based on surveys with the use of a structured questionnaire. Conclusions are drawn from the combination of descriptive and inferential analysis. The survey covers a total of 125 respondents using random sampling.
Findings: Principally, the paper reveals that bureaucratic corruption is visible and rampant in Nigeria and a great number of people are of the view that e-governance can help in curbing bureaucratic corruption in the country. The results suggest that e-governance initiatives, if genuinely implemented, will result in the reduction of bureaucratic corruption in Nigerian public sector. This reduction in bureaucratic corruption will further have a positive effect on the society in achieving good governance and societal harmony.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: To this end, the paper briefly provides a theoretical discussion of technology and bureaucratic corruption as held by different scholars, including Marx and Smith, Joseph, Ekeh, and Ake. It explains that e-governance is gaining popularity as a mechanism for enhanced public service delivery in underdeveloped and developing countries. It also argues that e-governance is capable of reducing bureaucratic corruption risks via improving public officials' monitoring and ensuring that the need for citizen interaction with gatekeepers for key services is reduced.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find out the major reasons for the existence of corruption in contemporary Nigeria, the existing relationship between corruption and Nigeria's national security and whether corruption has effects on Nigeria's national security.
Methodology: The methodology adopted was descriptive survey carried out in North Central States region of Nigeria using primary method of data collection via random sampling technique and data was analyzed with the aid of SPSS software which percentages, mean and standard deviation were computed using one-way ANOVA to test the hypothesis in order to determine the relationship between variables.
Results: The study found out that corruption significantly affects Nigerians national security and further revealed that lack of effective institutional checks was one of the major factors that gave rise to corruption, while corruption has impeded development in Nigeria by promoting poverty, inequality, unemployment, rising wave of crime and other social vices. The findings recommended strong institutional checks in the fight against corruption at all levels, depoliticization of anti-graft agencies, election of citizens with proven integrity into positions of authority and aggressive move by government at all levels to improve the welfare of citizens by poverty reduction, education and promoting equal opportunities to social and economic survival.
Unique Contribution to Theory and Practice: The study has contributed in adding value to the existing pool of knowledge and policy makers in efforts to win the fight against corruption and insecurity in Nigeria particularly in North Central States which have been badly hit by corruption and insecurity as well as underdeveloped.
Preliminary test of Polish translation of the Rheumatoid and Arthritis Outcome Score – observational study

Published: July 2024

IntroductionToday, patients with inflammatory joint diseases participate in more physical activities, including sports and recreation. The tools currently used to assess quality of life and functioning in rheumatic diseases, available in Polish, do not address these problems. The Rheumatoid and Arthritis Outcome Score (RAOS) ques- tionnaire was developed but is not available in the Polish language. This tool is used to evaluate the functional limitations of physically active people who suffer from arthritis and associated lower limb disorders. The objective of this study is the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the RAOS into Polish.Material and methodsThe process was carried out following the guidelines of the Evidence-Based Medicine Committee of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). The translation included forward and back translation, and synthesis of the transcripts. The RAOS was pre-tested in a target setting in 19 patients and final amendments were made to address concerns raised by the patients.ResultsThe translation, adaptation, and pre-test of the Polish RAOS resulted in the final version of the scale, which can be found in Supplementary material 1.ConclusionsDuring pre-testing, the scale demonstrated ease of understanding, with patient feedback leading to minor corrections that were incorporated into the questionnaire structure. Before widespread implementation, a crucial step involves validating the scale through rigorous psychometric tests, including assessments of the reliability, validity and stability of the Polish RAOS. The lack of validation of the translated Polish version limits the use of the RAOS in the research environment. To solve this problem, the validation process is planned to be carried out in the next stage.

The Interconnections of the Melodies of Vilnius Christian Church Hymns: from the First Influences in the 17th Century to the 21st Century
Authors: Moisejeva Margarita 
Published: July 2024

The article discusses seven melodies of the Christian Orthodox church hymns, which have counterparts in Uniate, Catholic and Protestant church music since the first influences in the 17th century until the 21st century. The Lithuanian Orthodox, Catholic, Uniate and Protestant church singing has been widely researched; the author has discussed the parallels between Orthodox and Uniate singing in her previous publications, yet paleographic data of the musical text of the Uniate and Orthodox hymnals (irmologions) dating from the 17th–18th centuries allows supplementing and clarifying the data regarding “Vilnius” Uniate and Orthodox hymns of the 17th–18th centuries as well as presenting transcriptions of the melodies carried out by the author. Correspondences between the Orthodox church melodies of the 18th–21st centuries in the Catholic and Protestant church singing in Lithuania have never been studied. The comparative analysis of the melodies of the Christian church hymns from Vilnius reveals that the related Orthodox and Uniate and Orthodox and Catholic melodies were connected by the common historical sources, namely, the “Greek” and “Bulgarian” melodies of the post-Byzantine singing style that was common on the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the 17th–18th centuries, while current interconnections between the Vilnius Protestant and Orthodox church singing are reflected in the church music created by composers.
Women Storytellers and Peculiarities of Their Repertoire
Authors: Šlekonytė Jūratė 
Published: July 2024

According to ethnographic data from various countries, from the end of the 19th to the first half of the 20th century men became predominant storytellers, since their mobile way of living enabled them to enrich their repertoire. Women’s role, on the other hand, resembled that of the mediators, preserving and transmitting folktales that men created or brought home from remote places. Women did play a significant role in the folktale tradition; however, in the Lithuanian folklore research, women storytellers have not been given similar attention as folksingers. Women exhibit special sensitivity towards their surroundings and greater emotionality, which affects the style of their storytelling. The everyday routines, childcare duties, and lower social status in village communities used to significantly impact their favored repertoire. Women’s storytelling mostly evolves around their closest family members – their children. Being involved in the process of their upbringing, mothers would intuitively select folktales that would best suit the age of their children in terms of genre and complexity. They favored folktales with little girls as protagonists – either treated unjustly or belonging to the lower social sphere. Since women storytellers usually spent evenings with girls, either spinning or knitting, the girls would listen to their stories and take note of their characters as well as stereotypical behavior patterns, being able to subsequently recreate these compositions and pass them on to their offspring. Thus women storytellers shaped a singular culture of folktales, standing out both in terms of its repertoire and style.
This article aims at evaluating the role of the Lithuanian women storytellers in the traditional community and describing general features of their repertoire. As a research method, context analysis is employed. The chronological boundaries of the analyzed folklore and ethnographic material encompass the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century; however, fragments of repertoire and biographic details of one storyteller recorded as late as the 21st century, are also included.

Published: July 2024

Com o surgimento da tecnologia educacional, as escolas adotaram métodos de ensino que divergem do ambiente típico de sala de aula. O ensino à distância está sendo usado em escala global e muitas instituições educacionais estão começando a implementar modelos de aprendizagem híbridos. Nesse sentido, essa pesquisa questionou quais os impactos do modelo de ensino híbrido no exercício das atividades do psicopedagogo. Diante disso, parte-se do pressuposto que o aprendizado híbrido é mais do que apenas colocar parte metade do currículo em uma sala de aula virtual. Este estudo tem como objetivo geral analisar verificar quais os impactos do modelo de ensino híbrido no exercício das atividades do psicopedagogo. Essa pesquisa se classifica como uma revisão de bibliográfica realizada de forma exploratória. Quanto a relevância acadêmica, esse estudo se faz justificável, visto que, a taxa de evasão escolar teve um crescimento no ano de 2021.
Hyperparameter tuning framework for calibrating analytical wake models using SCADA data of an offshore wind farm
Authors: van Binsbergen Diederik , Daems Pieter-Jan , Verstraeten Timothy , Nejad Amir R. , Helsen Jan 
Published: July 2024

Abstract. This work presents a robust methodology for calibrating analytical wake models, as demonstrated on the velocity deficit parameters of the Gauss–curl hybrid model using 4 years of time series supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) data from an offshore wind farm, with a tree-structured Parzen estimator employed as a sampler. Initially, a sensitivity analysis of wake parameters and their linear correlation is conducted. The wake model is used with a turbulence intensity of 0.06, and no blockage model is considered. Results show that the tuning parameters that are multiplied by the turbine-specific turbulence intensity pose higher sensitivity than tuning parameters not giving weight to the turbulence intensity. It is also observed that the optimization converges with a higher residual error when inflow wind conditions are affected by neighbouring wind farms. The significance of this effect becomes apparent when the energy yield of turbines situated in close proximity to nearby wind farms is compared. Sensitive parameters show strong convergence, while parameters with low sensitivity show significant variance after optimization. Additionally, coastal influences are observed to affect the calibrated results, with wind from land leading to faster wake recovery than wind from the sea. Given the assumption of constant turbulence intensity in this work, recalibration is required when more representative site-specific turbulence intensity measurements are used as input to the model. Caution is advised when using these results without considering underlying model assumptions and site-specific characteristics, as these findings may not be generalizable to other locations without further recalibration.
