Abstract

Background and Aims:
Postoperative pain management in open live donor hepatectomy is vital. This study aimed to compare postoperative analgesia provided by intrathecal morphine (ITM) and epidural in open live donor hepatectomy.

Material and Methods:
Patients were divided into two groups. In the epidural (EPI) group, a bolus dose of 0.125% levobupivacaine (5–6 mL) with 3 mg of preservative-free morphine (diluted in 5 mL of 0.9% normal saline) was injected. In the postoperative period, infusion of levobupivacaine 0.125% at a rate of 5–8 mL/hour was continued for 3 days. In the intrathecal group (ITM), 0.3 mg morphine with 1.5 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine heavy was injected. General anesthesia was administered. Postoperatively, both groups received intravenous fentanyl patient-controlled analgesia. Numerical rating score (NRS) scores were recorded at 0, 2, 4, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours postoperatively. Data were analyzed using the Student t-test, Mann–Whitney U test, and Fisher’s exact test. P < 0.05 was considered significant.

Results:
A total of 60 patients were enrolled. The postoperative fentanyl consumption for the first 24 hours was significantly higher in the EPI group compared to the ITM group (162.5 mcg vs. 75 mcg, respectively; P = 0.023). NRS up to 12 hours in the postoperative period at rest, on movement, and for shoulder pain were significantly lower in the ITM group compared to the EPI group (P = 0.000).

Conclusions:
ITM significantly decreased fentanyl consumption in the first 24 hours when compared to the epidural group in patients undergoing open donor hepatectomy.

Bioremediation of Iron-Laden Steel Plant Effluent Using Bacillus Licheniformis: A Study of Isolation, Characterization, and Optimization
Authors: Durairaj Aarthi , Dharmackan Jayasheela 
Published: February 2025

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigates the physicochemical characteristics and bioremediation potential of Bacillus licheniformis on effluent from a steel manufacturing facility in Salem, India

Method: A laboratory-based experimental approach was used in the study to assess Bacillus licheniformis's capacity for bioremediation of steel production wastewater. Separating the bacteria from the wastewater, describing its physicochemical characteristics, and evaluating how well it reduced iron levels were the steps in the process. For chemical analysis, FTIR spectroscopy was employed, and for microbiological identification, normal biochemical assays were employed. Optimizing bioremediation parameters including inoculum concentration, pH, temperature, and incubation duration was one of the procedures.

Results and Discussion: The study discovered that Bacillus licheniformis successfully decreased iron concentrations in steel production wastewater, bringing them down from 41.54 mg/L to 23.08 mg/L. Significant alterations in the effluent's chemical composition were shown by FTIR analysis, suggesting that organic contaminants had been successfully degraded. The greatest results were obtained after optimizing the bioremediation settings, which included a 48-hour incubation at 30°C, pH 6, and a 6% inoculum concentration. These results contribute to more sustainable effluent management techniques by highlighting Bacillus licheniformis as a viable bioremediation agent for treating iron-laden industrial wastewater.

Research Implications: The research's practical implications indicate that Bacillus licheniformis can be used to clean wastewater that contains iron, especially in the steel sector, using bioremediation techniques. The results might encourage ecologically friendly methods of treating industrial effluent and have an impact on sustainable wastewater management practices. Theoretically, this work advances our knowledge of the role that microbes play in environmental biotechnology, namely in the reduction of metals and the breakdown of organic contaminants. Environmental engineering, industrial wastewater treatment, and microbial bioremediation research are among the fields that potentially profit from these discoveries.

Objective: The purpose of the article is to highlight the features of the decision-making process by the defense party in Ukrainian criminal proceedings and to identify the main needs and capabilities of the subjects involved.

Theoretical Framework: This study is based on contemporary scholarly perspectives in the fields of criminal law and procedure, forensic science, and legal psychology, the provisions of current legislation and statistical data.

Method: To explore decision-making process by the defense party, this study will use a range of general and specialized scientific research methods including systemic analysis, formal-legal, comparative, generalization, and modeling.

Results and Discussion: The authors argue that defense decisions in criminal proceedings are non-law-applying and significantly differ from the decisions of the prosecution or the court. The study demonstrates that defense decisions are structurally composed of the intended goal, the informational foundation, and the available alternative courses of action. The decision-makers on behalf of the defense include the defendant, the defense attorney, and the legal representative, each of whom possesses their own set of procedural needs and capabilities. It is emphasized that the most effective decisions are those made by the defendant in collaboration with defense attorney.

Contributions: The significance of the research results lies in their potential to serve as a foundation for developing practice-oriented recommendations on optimizing defense strategy against criminal charges, and formulating recommendations to overcome unlawful resistance to pre-trial investigations and court proceedings by the defense side.

Published: February 2025

Objectives: This study aims to substantiate the use of an integrative approach in training future border guard officers to effectively use physical force in their professional activities, particularly considering the ongoing military aggression against Ukraine.

Methods: A combination of theoretical methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, and systematization) and empirical methods (questionnaires, interviews, observations, and pedagogical experiments) was employed to assess the current state of preparedness among future border guard officers.

Results: The findings indicate that the majority of future border guard officers exhibit low to average levels of preparedness to use physical force. The implementation of an integrative training approach significantly improved the preparedness levels of the experimental group compared to the control group.

Conclusion: The integrative approach, which combines physical, psychological, and legal training, is essential for enhancing the readiness of future border guard officers to use physical force effectively in their professional roles. Notably, this study introduces a novel framework for training that emphasizes the interdependence of these components, suggesting that a synergistic training model not only improves individual preparedness but also fosters a deeper understanding of the ethical and legal implications of using physical force. This holistic perspective is particularly relevant in the context of contemporary security challenges, providing a foundation for future research and practical applications in border security training programs.
The manifestation of Cadre deployment in selected SOWETO public schools: Voices of teachers in despair
Authors: Mkhomi Moses Sipho 
Published: February 2025

Cadre deployment in South African Public Schools is steadily becoming a norm than an exception and breeds protracted intergroup conflicts as promotional posts are reserved for politically aligned teacher union members. These conflicts affect the quality of teaching and learning, as the focus of the teachers move from the primary purpose of teaching to contestation for senior posts. This paper uses Intergroup Conflict Theory and Dynamic Conflict Theory as lenses to explore and explain the intergroup conflicts as manifested in South African Public Schools because of sustained application of cadre deployment. The interpretivism paradigm was employed in this study. Qualitative research approach was used to collect data from 6 teachers, in 3 selected SOWETO schools. The findings of this study revealed that, despite the SADTU’s denial of involvement in pursing cadre deployment, this practice is a norm in the selected schools and experienced and qualified teachers who are non-SADTU members are overlooked for promotional posts. This paper, therefore, recommends for the review of minimum promotional requirements in public schools, considering experience and qualifications in the selection and recruitment of teachers to senior posts.

Published: February 2025

The main purpose of this study is to adapt the Lifespan Sibling Relationship Scale for use in the Azerbaijani context and explore its association with psychological resilience and satisfaction with life. Data were gathered through a convenience sampling method, including a total of 367 individuals, aged 18 to 59 years (M=25.04, SD=7.60). The adaptation process of the Lifespan Sibling Relationship Scale involved Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), Item Response Theory (IRT), and assessments of convergent validity and reliability (including Cronbach's α, McDonald's ω, and Guttmann's λ6). Furthermore, CFA supported the six dimensional structure of LSRS, despide one item of scale indicating factor loading above 0.30 and could not be taken into account in Azerbaijani context. IRT analysis was also conducted and results demonstrated that all items have excellent fit with the model. Additionally, results obtained from reliability analysis demonstrated that the Azerbaijani version of the LSRS presented sufficient reliability coefficient. Relationships between sibling relationships, life satisfaction and psychological resilience were investigated as well and the LSRS was found to be correlated with life satisfaction and psychological resilience. In summary, results of adaptation of Sibling Relationship Scale into Azerbaijani demonstrated excellent psychometric propertiess.

Published: February 2025

On the basis of the qualitative research conducted on the basis of several regional and central Georgian universities, the article presents the development prospects of media schools and alternative models for Georgian regional media schools. Results of the research showed that regional university education in the direction of digital media in Georgia is in a critical state, suffering from forms of inequality, both in terms of educational bases and human professional resources. As a result, young people choose central universities, which creates unequal opportunities for the development of the regional parts of Georgia. The situation of regional universities is becoming even more problematic; in the research, we tried to show that this process will bring disastrous results for the whole country if there is no professional distribution, redistribution of media students across the country and purposeful stratification of intellectual resources.
