Through business creation, technological progress, and innovation led by entrepreneurs, the country's wealth production and the well-being of citizens can be improved. The study analyzes business education and entrepreneurial competence as predictors of entrepreneurial intention in university students. This research is framed from a quantitative, causal correlational methodological perspective through a structural equation model, the sample of which is comprised of 377 university students. The results show that the model's fit was adequate, with a Chi-square value of 1149.09, 521 degrees of freedom (p=0.000<0.001), and a Chi-square/df ratio of 2.21. The goodness-of-fit indicators, incremental fit, and parsimony measures obtained values within the acceptable range. In conclusion, there is a significant influence (?=0.77) between business education and entrepreneurial competence (p=0.000<0.001) and between entrepreneurial competence and the intention to start a business (? = 0.87). However, the influence (p=0.135<0.05) between business education and entrepreneurial intention was insignificant. The university curriculum must have practical entrepreneurship courses with experienced teachers to transfer entrepreneurship knowledge and incubators, allowing students to inspire and strengthen their entrepreneurship abilities.

The Characteristics of Transnational Organized Crime and the Factors Which Have Contributed to its Development
Authors: Shehdula Mirseda , Karamuço Ervin 
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this paper is to analyze how transnational organized crime has changed over time, what factors have led to its development and what are its main characteristics. Transnational criminal organizations differ significantly from one another in terms of organizational structure, type of activity, size and territorial extent. Transnational organized crime operates through a network of homogeneous, interconnected groups. It is active in a number of areas ranging from bank fraud, cybercrime, drug trafficking, trafficking of goods and people to the seizure of government funds. The globalization process is one of the most important factors in the development of this phenomenon. One of the biggest problems is the participation of organized crime in political power at the horizontal (legislative and executive) and vertical (central and local) levels, as well as the influence on the judiciary. Continuous international cooperation as well as concrete steps in the design and harmonization of legislation are some elements to curb cross-border organized crime.

Didactic Aspects of Figurative Syntagms in the Teaching Process
Authors: Kurani Aida , Roseni Emilda 
Published: July 2024

In the discursive process, figurative phrases with high expressive intensity are frequently used, representing one of the various sources of expression for each speaker in different communicative contexts. However, due to their nature, their teaching at school presents some difficulties. Although they are understandable to a particular linguistic community, they can be incomprehensible or difficult to interpret for anyone learning a foreign language, since their first meaning is in many cases not the meaning of the words that compose them and can be very different from the meaning they acquire in an idiomatic context. Idiomatic expressions rarely have corresponding translations in different languages, and their meaning is often rendered by completely different passages that have nothing in common with their direct meaning. In this article, we have tried to point out some of the methodological aspects to be considered when analyzing texts for didactic purposes and in foreign language teaching when it comes to figurative expressions. Since figurative phrases express a part of a nation’s culture, it is important for students to recognize the syntactic structures as words come together in the discursive process to express and convey thoughts and become part of various meaningful and formal grammatical relationships. They should be learned and acquired by keeping in mind the characteristics of their different types, their density, and their pragmatic use in the respective linguistic community. In this study, we will also try to show that the study of figurative syntagma can shed more light on theories of foreign language acquisition. Previous studies on figurative syntagma in Albanian have mainly been conducted within the narrow confines of linguistics, especially traditional linguistics. We assume that their investigation in the context of language didactics, as we approach it here, is only a first step that needs to be completed and deepened in further and more comprehensive studies.

Published: July 2024

Актуальность. Актуальность исследования дефицита магния во время беременности определяется ее широким спектром влияния на здоровье беременных женщин и развитие плода. В свете его потенциальных негативных последствий для матери и плода, таких как преждевременные роды, гестационный диабет, и гипертензия, понимание механизмов и последствий гипомагниемии приобретает большую значимость в здравоохранения. Недостаточное потребление магния и его влияние на здоровье беременных женщин привлекают внимание медицинского сообщества, и дальнейшие исследования в этой области могут привнести новые знания и методы профилактики и лечения, способные улучшить исходы беременности и здоровье будущих поколений.
Цель исследования – обобщение современных данных о клинической значимости дефицита магния, о котором сообщалось в журналах, посвященных актуальным проблемам акушерства и перинатологии.
Материалы и методы: Нами проведен литературный обзор отечественных и зарубежных работ на базах данных PubMed, Scopus, Medline, Google Scholar. Глубина поиска составила 10 лет (2013-2023 годы). В поиске использовались ключевые слова: «магний», «беременность», «дефицит магния», «микроэлементы». Поиск проводился, по ключевым словам, с использованием MESH.
Результаты: Анализ изученных материалов акцентирует внимание на ключевую роль магния на течение беременности и исходы родов, а также для нормального роста и развития плода, и его здоровья после рождения. Дефицит магния во время беременности может иметь серьезные последствия, как для матери, так и для плода. О важности проблемы указывает наличие данного состояния в МКБ 10 – Е61. 3 «недостаточность магния». Магний имеет ключевое значение в контроле различных биологических функций, таких как мышечные сокращения, сердечная деятельность, уровень кровяного давления и обмен веществ. Сбалансированное питание, включающее магнийсодержащие продукты, такие как орехи, семена, зеленые овощи, зерновые и бобы, может помочь предотвратить дефицит магния и связанные с ним осложнения во время беременности.
Заключение: Недостаточное содержание магния у беременных женщин может привести к серьезным изменениям в развитии плода и увеличению риска преждевременных родов, что делает его важным фактором в фетальном программировании заболеваний у взрослых.
La tendresse thérapeutique : une approche réflexive avec le patient…
Authors: Cromphout Sophie-Caroline 
Published: July 2024

Cet article se propose de rendre compte, au travers d’un exemple clinique, de la circularité du concept de tendresse – tel que développé par Laurent Tigrane Tovmassian – par ce geste de tendresse porté du patient vers l’analyste. En effet, celle-ci est en constant mouvement, et dans un aller-retour entre l’analyste et le patient. La tendresse participe à l’ouverture et la réactualisation dans le transfert du chemin de l’intégration de la personnalité telle que défini par D.W. Winnicott.
Introduction : À quoi (et à qui) servent les traîtres ?
Authors: Renault Rachel , Schick Sébastien 
Published: July 2024

Ce dossier entend saisir les modalités de l’accusation de trahison. Pourquoi qualifier un individu de traître, ou un acte de trahison ? Quels en sont les bénéfices ? Et à quelles conditions l’opération de disqualification peut-elle réussir ? La trahison peut intervenir à une échelle interpersonnelle, et relever de l’infraction à des normes informelles, comme elle peut relever de la qualification judiciaire. Chaque fois, l’accusation remplit une fonction : elle reconfigure les contours d’un groupe ou les modalités d’une relation sociale en sanctionnant une défection, requalifiée en péché, en crime ou en faute. De cette requalification, certains agents tirent profit. De la parole trahie à l’atteinte à la sûreté de l’État, et du XVIe au XXe siècle, ce dossier s’efforce donc de proposer une commune lecture de la trahison comme observatoire des configurations sociales et des régimes normatifs à travers le temps
Troubles dans l’ordinaire : ethnographie réflexive d’une forme de folie en contexte salafiste (Tizi-Ouzou, Algérie)
Authors: Boudina Yannis 
Published: July 2024

Cet article s’intéresse à une forme de trouble mental observé durant une enquête ethnographique d’une année menée au sein de l’environnement salafiste de la ville de Tizi-Ouzou (Algérie). Je me centre sur Abdel, un homme de 40 ans souffrant de pensées parasites qu’il qualifie de l’expression arabe waswās (insufflations sataniques). Ce trouble m’est rendu perceptible au fil de l’immersion ethnographique, créant des situations incertaines où il est souvent malaisé de savoir qui, de l’ethnographe ou de son interlocuteur, est le plus troublé. Le syntagme « trouble dans l’ordinaire » exprime cette indétermination du waswās, perçu au carrefour du sujet connaissant, du sujet de la connaissance et de leur situation de mise en contact. Les sources sont des conversations WhatsApp rétrospectivement effacées, des discussions captées au hasard de la vie quotidienne, qui exposent les moments de trouble et de perturbation, d’abord au cœur même de la relation ethnographique, inscrite dans une atmosphère de méfiance ; ensuite dans des épisodes biographiques racontés par Abdel. J’interroge ainsi la « juste distance » ethnographique, la place du hasard dans l’enquête, la capacité de bricolage de l’enquêteur pour déployer une connaissance malgré l’opacité et la silenciation. Je m’efforce également de mener un travail réflexif et de suspendre l’affectivité propre à la socialisation ethnographique par des procédés d’objectivation centrés sur les seules paroles du muwaswās (porteur de waswās). Le trouble devient dès lors un puissant analyseur de dynamiques de pouvoir et de domination. La méfiance d’Abdel se donne à comprendre à l’aune d’une problématique de la subalternité, comme tactique de résistance dans des relations asymétriques.

Abstract

Background:
Devices that mimic the functions of human skin are known as “electronic skin,” and they must have characteristics like high sensitivity, a wide dynamic range, high spatial homogeneity, cheap cost, wide area easy processing, and the ability to distinguish between diverse external inputs.

Methods:
This study introduces a novel approach, termed microfluidic droplet-based emulsion self-assembly (DMESA), for fabricating 3D microstructured elastomer layers using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The method aims to produce accurate capacitive pressure sensors suitable for electronic skin (e-skin) applications. The DMESA method facilitates the creation of uniform-sized spherical micropores dispersed across a significant area without requiring a template, ensuring excellent spatial homogeneity.

Results:
Micropore size adjustment, ranging from 100 to 600 μm, allows for customization of pressure sensor sensitivity. The active layer of the capacitive pressure sensor is formed by the three-dimensional elastomer itself. Experimental results demonstrate the outstanding performance of the DMESA approach. It offers simplicity in processing, the ability to adjust performance parameters, excellent spatial homogeneity, and the capability to differentiate varied inputs. Capacitive pressure sensors fabricated using this method exhibit high sensitivity and dynamic amplitude, making them promising candidates for various e-skin applications.

Conclusion:
The DMESA method presents a highly promising solution for fabricating 3D microstructured elastomer layers for capacitive pressure sensors in e-skin technology. Its simplicity, performance adjustability, spatial homogeneity, and sensitivity to different inputs make it suitable for a wide range of electronic skin applications.

Published: July 2024

BLDC motors are extensively used in various industries, including CNC machine tools, industrial robots, and electric vehicles. Because of their compact size, high efficiency, high torque-to-power ratios, and low maintenance requirements due to their brushless operation, BLDC motors are the backbone of many industrial automation systems. However, they pose significant challenges when it comes to speed control. In this study, the speed of BLDC motors is controlled by PI-based speed controllers. In the described method, the BLDC motor is commutated using Hall Effect sensors. A proposed approach uses PI to regulate the speed of BLDC motors in an open-loop PWM method. The speed-controlled BLDC motor is analysed using MATLAB/simulink. The hardware of the proposed system is also implemented.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT.
Blood stream infection with Microbacterium species in humans is rare and frequently linked to the presence of immunosuppressed conditions such as patients on chemotherapy or corticosteroids. Presence of indwelling catheters is also a potential risk factor for M. aurum infection. No case report has been documented in the literature regarding the pathogenic potential of M. aurum in causing bacteremia. This is the first case series reporting bacteremia by M. aurum describing the risk factors and sensitivity pattern of this pathogen. In this case series, we have described bacteremia caused by M. aurum. The risk factors and sensitivity pattern of this pathogen have also been evaluated. Here, we describe the clinical course and presentation of three patients whose blood culture showed growth of M. aurum. Indwelling venous catheter for hemodialysis or for chemotherapy for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia was found to be a risk factor in two patients. Rheumatoid arthritis was the underlying condition in the second patient and was started on immunosuppressants. Blood samples were collected during the febrile period. The blood culture samples of all these patients had pure isolates of M. aurum, identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry. All three patients were managed according to the sensitivity reports and were discharged in stable condition.

Moderating Role of Perceived Organizational Support on the Effect of Occupational Stress Management Practices on Employee Engagement amongst Law Enforcement Officers in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya
Authors: Joshua George Boy , Tsuma Eglay , Egessa Robert , Onyango Robert 
Published: July 2024

Excessive stress that law enforcement officers are exposed to not only threatens their physical and mental health but also affects professionalism, organisational effectiveness, and public safety. This invokes the need for the adoption or strengthening of occupational stress management practices amongst law enforcement officers to abate the consequences of operational and occupational stressors they are exposed to for the purposes of their engagement. However, there is still a limited understanding of how occupational stress management practices and perceived organisational support may work together to effect employee engagement based on social exchange theory and job demands-resource theory. In this regard, the study adopted a correlational research design. The target population consisted of 620 law enforcement officers from 34 police posts and stations in Uasin Gishu County, with a sample size of 248 officers calculated using Krejcie and Morgan Table 1970. The study adopted simple and stratified sampling techniques to identify the officers from the top, middle, and lower levels of management. Data was collected using questionnaires and interview schedules. Reliability was ensured through internal consistency techniques. The data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of moderated regressions revealed that occupational stress management practices jointly and independently influenced employee engagement among law enforcement officers in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya. Safety and health programmes jointly explained 70.7% of the of the variation in engagement amongst law enforcement officers in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya, without a moderator. However, with a moderator, the variables jointly explained 73.5% (R2 = 0.735) of the of the variation in employee engagement amongst law enforcement officers in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya (F = 62.364; ρ <.05). Therefore, there is a significant moderating role of perceived organisational support in the relationship between occupational stress management practices and employee engagement amongst law enforcement officers in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya. These findings are premised on both social exchange theory and job demand resource theory. This implies that when the management of law enforcement officers embraces occupational stress management practices and proactively formulates policies ingrained with perceived organisational support, employee engagement amongst law enforcement officers in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya, will improve. In the strategic orientation of these occupational stress management practices, perceived organisational support remains the cornerstone for enhancing employee engagement amongst law enforcement officers.
Validating a microphysical prognostic stratospheric aerosol implementation in E3SMv2 using observations after the Mount Pinatubo eruption

Abstract. This paper describes the addition of a stratospheric prognostic aerosol (SPA) capability – developed with the goal of accurately simulating sulfate aerosol formation and evolution in the stratosphere – in the Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Exascale Earth System Model, version 2 (E3SMv2). The implementation includes changes to the four-mode Modal Aerosol Module microphysics in the stratosphere to allow for larger particle growth and more accurate stratospheric aerosol lifetime following the Pinatubo eruption. E3SMv2-SPA reasonably reproduces stratospheric aerosol lifetime, burden, aerosol optical depth, and top-of-atmosphere flux when compared to remote sensing observations. E3SMv2-SPA also has close agreement with the interactive chemistry–climate model CESM2-WACCM (Community Earth System Model version 2–Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model) – which has a more complete chemical treatment – and the observationally constrained, prescribed volcanic aerosol treatment in E3SMv2. Global stratospheric aerosol size distributions identify the nucleation and growth of sulfate aerosol from volcanically injected SO2 from both major and minor volcanic eruptions from 1991 to 1993. The modeled aerosol effective radius is consistently lower than satellite and in situ measurements (max differences of ∼ 30 %). Comparisons with in situ size distribution samples indicate that this simulated underestimation in both E3SMv2-SPA and CESM2-WACCM is due to overly small accumulation and coarse-mode aerosols 6–18 months post-eruption, with E3SMv2-SPA simulating ∼ 50 % of the coarse-mode geometric mean diameters of observations 11 months post-eruption. Effective radii from the models and observations are used to calculate offline scattering and absorption efficiencies to explore the implications of smaller simulated aerosol size for the Pinatubo climate impacts. Scattering efficiencies at wavelengths of peak solar irradiance (∼ 0.5 µm) are 10 %–80 % higher for daily samples in models relative to observations through 1993, suggesting higher diffuse radiation at the surface and a larger cooling effect in the models due to the smaller simulated aerosol; absorption efficiencies at the peak wavelengths of outgoing terrestrial radiation (∼ 10 µm) are 15 %–40 % lower for daily samples in models relative to observations, suggesting an underestimation in stratospheric heating in the models due to the smaller simulated aerosol. These potential biases are based on aerosol size alone and do not take into account differences in the aerosol number. The overall agreement of E3SMv2-SPA with observations and its similar performance to the well-validated CESM2-WACCM makes E3SMv2-SPA a viable alternative to simulating climate impacts from stratospheric sulfate aerosols.
