Authors: Draçi Parashqevi , Kadiu Arjana 
Published: April 2024

Internationalization and globalization are perceived as the central realities of the 21st century impact on higher education. Moreover, internationalization and globalization together influence to transform the image and organizational activities of universities. To be able to better prepare students for the development of career, universities must be aware of the trends, opportunities and experiences of globalization and internationalization. The impact of globalization and internationalization on the character and behavior of universities has become a central theme of many recent studies. Some even go so far as to claim that the process of globalization has produced a grand new model of global universities. This general trend of today's reality gives us the opportunity to increase the balanced economic and scientific potential of a country and the formation of human capital that leads to an economy with sustainable growth. Education in general and higher education in particular is an important factor and aims for the globalization and internationalization of higher education to achieve these objectives and help society to navigate a future that is more difficult to predict.

Authors: Новикова Валерия Павловна , Магамедова Динара Мафрутдиновна 
Published: April 2024

Лекция посвящена актуальной проблеме педиатрии — младенческим коликам. Они рассматриваются в свете рекомендаций Римских критериев, отражающих мнение экспертов — педиатров, гастроэнтерологов, аллергологов. Ключевым моментом в постановке диагноза младенческих колик является исключение органической патологии («красные флаги»), которая составляет не более 5%. В статье рассмотрены современные представления о патогенетических механизмах младенческих колик и основанные на этих данных современные принципы их лечения. Терапия младенческих колик включает психологическую поддержку семьи, сохранение грудного вскармливания и применение пробиотиков.
The lecture is devoted to the current problem of pediatrics — infant colic. They are in the light of the recommendations of the Rome criteria, refl ecting the opinion of experts — pediatricians, gastroenterologists, allergists. The key to diagnosing infant colic is to exclude organic pathology (“red flags”), which accounts for no more than 5%. The article discusses modern ideas about the pathogenetic mechanisms of infant colic and modern principles of their correction based on these data. Correction of infant colic includes psychological support for the family, continued breastfeeding and the use of probiotics.

Дистальный ренальный тубулярный ацидоз с глухотой (OMIM 267300) — это редкое заболевание, характеризующееся тяжелым метаболическим ацидозом вследствие нарушения экскреции водородных ионов в дистальном отделе нефрона. Нарушение физического и психомоторного развития, деформация конечностей, электролитные нарушения без должного и своевременного лечения могут приводить к инвалидизации уже в самом раннем возрасте. В статье описан клинический случай, отражающий сложность и коварность диагностики дистального ренального тубулярного ацидоза у ребенка первого года жизни.
Distal renal tubular acidosis with deafness (OMIM 267300) is a rare disease characterized by severe metabolic acidosis due to impaired excretion of hydrogen ions in the distal nephron. Violation of physical and psychomotor development, deformation of limbs, electrolyte disturbances without proper and timely treatment can lead to disability at a very early age. The article describes a clinical case that refl ects the complexity and insidiousness of diagnosing distal renal tubular acidosis in a child of the fi rst year of life.

Published: April 2024

Context.—
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project was designed to evaluate how genetic variation and epigenetic effects influence gene expression in normal tissue.

Objective.—
To ensure that the grossly normal-appearing tissues collected were free from disease, each specimen underwent histologic evaluation.

Design.—
In total, nearly 30 000 tissue aliquots collected from almost 1000 postmortem donors underwent histologic review by project pathologists, and detailed observations of any abnormalities or lesions present were recorded.

Results.—
Despite sampling of normal-appearing tissue, in-depth review revealed incidental findings among GTEx samples that included neoplastic, autoimmune, and genetic conditions; the incidence of some of these conditions among GTEx donors differed from those previously reported for other populations. A number of age-related abnormalities observed during histologic review of tissue specimens are also described.

Conclusions.—
Histologic findings from the GTEx project may serve to improve populational awareness of several conditions and present a unique opportunity for others to explore age- and sex-influenced conditions. Resources from the study, including histologic image and sequencing data, are publicly available for research.

Osseointegracja - alternatywa dla klasycznego protezowania
Authors: Kawik Łukasz , Piwek Wojciech , Czwakiel Lidia , Cholewa Paweł 
Published: April 2024

Z każdym rokiem w Polsce przybywa osób po amputacji kończyn dolnych. Trudności jakie stają przed pacjentem po amputacji powodują że zaprotezowanie i jakość życia związana z tym faktem nie jest zadowalająca na tyle, aby zostały podjęte zwykłe czynności dnia codziennego. Rezygnacja z tradycyjnego zaprotezowania unieruchamia pacjentów po amputacjach na wózku inwalidzkim, który wydaje się być wygodniejszym rozwiązaniem, od zmagania się z powikłaniami jakie występują przy tradycyjnym zaprotezowaniu. Ten pozorny komfort niesie ze sobą szereg powikłań, które w efekcie doprowadzają do znacznego skrócenia przeżywalności pacjentów po amputacjach kończyn dolnych. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie alternatywnej metody protezowania jaką jest osseointegracja, powikłań związanych z zabiegiem i okresem pooperacyjnym oraz analiza dotychczasowej literatury. Oceniono również własne doświadczenia na podstawie wykonanych 14 zabiegów osseointegracji. Omówiono wstępne wyniki w zakresie zebranego materiału, jak i wykazano korzyści wynikające z zastosowania protezowania pacjentów metodą osseointegracji.
Investigating tourists’ satisfaction with infrastructures located proximal to attractions
Authors: Mwankunda Joshua M. 
Published: April 2024

There is limited information concerning relationship between tourists' satisfaction and awareness of infrastructure locations, particularly with regard to associated impacts to the Outstanding universal values (OUVs). The study was conducted in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) World Heritage Site (WHS) in Tanzania employing a quantitative research approach. Theoretically, the study employed Expectancy-Disconfirmation model and Dissonance Theory on customer satisfactions. The study was guided by two null hypotheses: H01: Demographic characteristics (age, education, nationality and sex) do not influence tourist’s satisfactions with infrastructures located proximal to attractions; and H02: Tourists’ awareness of potential consequences of infrastructures located proximal to attractions do not influence their satisfactions. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed on the 210 responses to investigate the relationships between tourists’ demographic characteristics and awareness of potential consequences and satisfactions. Both hypotheses (H01 and H02) were rejected, indicating that tourists are satisfied with infrastructures located proximal to attractions despite being aware of the potential consequences. In addition, tourists who were aware were twice as likely as those who were not to be satisfied. However, highly educated tourists (Masters and PhD) were less likely to be satisfied of infrastructures located proximal to attractions compared to tourists with lower education levels. This study recommends that infrastructure developers and NCA WHS conservators collaborate to develop monitoring and evaluation strategies to constantly balance conservation and tourism objectives because tourists are more satisfied with infrastructure proximal to attractions. Future research should focus on new construction materials, designs and technology to safeguards WHS OUVs.
Experiences of Academic Staff Towards Promotion and Professional Development in Selected Public Universities in Tanzania: A Situational Analysis
Authors: Msuya Ombeni 
Published: April 2024

There has been a constant debate regarding fairness during the promotion process and academic growth among the academic staff in higher education around the world. In the context of Tanzania, higher education depends on the academic qualifications, ranks, experience and level of job satisfaction among their academic staff for quality teaching, research and consultancy works. This mixed study focused on the experiences and attitudes of 85 staff on promotion and motivation from a selected public university in Tanzania. Quantitative data were collected from 74 academic staff, 1 professor, 4 senior lecturers, 30 lecturers, 25 assistant lecturers and 14 tutorial assistants. Moreover, 3 staff from the human resources directorate and 8 heads of academic departments were interviewed. The results demonstrated that the majority of the academic staff (82%) were satisfied with the sponsorship process in local and overseas trainings (N = 61) and the duration of three years for new promotions (N = 65 and 88%). On the other hand, the majority of the academic staff were dissatisfied with being involved in decision-making for in-service training opportunities (N = 65, 88%). Similarly, academic staff were dissatisfied with the promotion criteria and promotion process (N = 60, 81%) and (N = 45, 60%) respectively. The qualitative data revealed the dissatisfaction of academic staff on awareness of the current institutional promotion criteria and standards that may open loopholes for rude administrations. It was concluded that promotion in various universities has been associated with some micro politics and hullabaloos. Since academic staff qualifications are global, criteria for promotions should remain homogeneous, fair and equal to all staff.

Published: April 2024

This study examines historical (1981-2020) and future (2020-2070) trends in rainfall and temperature in the Kilombero Basin using the Mann-Kendall method with Sen's slope estimator. Data were obtained from the Tanzania Meteorological Agency and from simulated historical and future climate data sourced from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6). The CMIP6 datasets were downscaled and bias-corrected using the CMhyd tool. The basin exhibited a bimodal rainfall pattern with an average of 1400 mm, peaking around April. The CMIP6 models successfully simulated monthly rainfall, Tmax, and Tmin at most stations. No definitive trends in rainfall were observed, but Tmax and Tmin showed significant increases under both SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios. More warming is predicted under SSP5-8.5 by the mid-21st century, raising Tmax and Tmin at all stations. This rise in temperature could potentially increase evapotranspiration demand, negatively impacting freshwater availability. The average annual rainfall showed a slightly increasing trend post-2000, from 1403.96mm/year (1981-1999) to 1433.38mm/year (2000-2020), an increase of 2.05%. Sen's slope analysis, however, revealed varying trends across stations, with most showing a decreasing trend. Notably, only Ulanga Met Station showed a significant increasing trend with a slope value of 14.70 and a p-value below 0.05.

The study concluded that both temperature and precipitation in the Kilombero Basin are on the rise.

Economic growth of any country depends on the construction projects and industry in the region. Therefore, the construction industry in Pakistan is directly related to quality and continual improvements in construction projects. Quality is a sensitive and high-priority issue in global construction including in Pakistan. The prime objective of this research study was to investigate major factors influencing the quality of building construction projects in Pakistan. The intended of this research study was to provide guidelines and information to all stakeholders such as owners, project consultants, and project contractors during the construction site of projects so that they are completed on time and with quality. The descriptive survey method was utilized with both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Qualitative approach was used to collect data through project documents and in-depth interviews. N-Vivo software were used at the preliminary stage for the analysis of qualitative data to identify these factors and the linked sub-factors. Analysis of this qualitative data identified 32 factors that influence building construction projects. Questionnaire design was based on qualitative data analysis. The quantitative approach was used to collect data from building construction projects in Pakistan through via questionnaires. The 150 questionnaires links were sent to Pakistan building construction companies in Google form, and 120 respondents filled out the questionnaire. In this way, the response rate is 80%, enough to get accurate results. The SPSS software was used for analysis of collective data. The important quality factors were resulted from a stepwise RFI, RSI, IRII on the quality factors resulted from the factor analysis approach. The correlation coefficient was used to find the relationship between consultants and contractors with the owner. On the basis of analysis, it is concluded that the most significant factors influencing the quality of a building construction project were identified. the Findings of this study were: the skill and interest of labor during construction are a significant impact on the quality in Pakistan, escalation of material prices had influenced the quality of construction projects, making decisions based on price rather than the value of work, Lack of implementation of quality standards of work has greatly influenced the quality of construction industry projects, lack of comprehensive and accurate bill of quantities (BOQ), excessive design changes during construction and shortage of resource materials. In Pakistan, all the stakeholders should consider and take action for these influencing quality factors before starting construction projects.

Pasca reformasi terjadi perubahan besar pada sistem politik di Indonesia, terutama munculnya partai-partai politik. Perubahan asas tunggal dalam politik yang memberikan ruang bagi partai politik politik kecuali ideologi Pancasila. Kemudian dengan diadakannya pemilihan umum secara langsung konstituen pada pemerintah pusat atau daerah yang memberikan warna tersendiri pada politik. Di sisi itu, peserta pemilihan umum yang sedikit menyebabkan kecilnya peluang partai politik yang muncul untuk memperoleh suara mutlak dan hal ini akan menyulitkan partai-partai politik untuk meraih atau mempertahankan kekuasaan. Pada kenyataannya koalisi tidak hanya antar partai yang memiliki ideologi yang sama, Sebagaimana kesimpulan sementara penulis kesimpulan sementara, figur menjadi sentral aktivitas politik karena partai politik lebih memperdagangkan figur daripada memperdagangkan program kerja sebagai daya tarik partai politik
