Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Race-based medicine, which falsely assumes that race is biological, is common in the published medical literature. We analyzed trends in the use of race in Pediatrics articles over a 75-year period.

METHODS
We analyzed a random sample of 50 original research articles published each decade in Pediatrics from 1948 to 2022.

RESULTS
Of 375 articles, 39% (n = 147) included race. Among articles, 85% (n = 116) used race only to describe study subjects, 7% (n = 9) described race as a social construct, and 11% (n = 15) described race as a biological construct. Only 7% (n = 10) of studies provided a reason for including race. Statements reflective of racial bias or discrimination were identified in 22% (n = 30) of the articles that mentioned race. Although statements concerning for explicit racial bias were uncommon, with none identified in the most recent decade, statements suggestive of implicit racial bias still occurred (22%, 5 of 23). Race was presented as a dichotomy, such as “white/nonwhite,” in 9% of studies (n = 12). Regarding currently nonrecommended terminology, the term “minorities” was used in 13% of studies (n = 18); 25% of studies used the term “others” (n = 34), and among these, 91% (n = 31 of 34) did not provide any definition, an occurrence that increased over time at a rate of 0.9%/year.

CONCLUSIONS
Although there has been improvement over the past 75 years in the reporting of race in published studies in Pediatrics, significant opportunities for further improvement remain.
Pascal, penseur du désordre
Authors: Lebreton Lucie 
Published: April 2024

The doctrine of the three orders which distinguishes and hierarchizes flesh, spirit and charity is obviously one of the major themes of Pascal’s thought. But it appears that Pascal meditates as much on the disorder – and dis-order – induced by sin and the corruption of our nature as on the hierarchy and the heterogeneity of these three kinds of reality. In the world he describes, in fact, not only is everything overturned – the lowest order, that of the flesh, now dominating the other two – but also everything is confused – pleasure, for example, obtaining the credence that normally belongs to science, and the flesh invading the order of the spirit through custom and imagination. To maintain then, as several commentators do, that no interference between the orders is possible, so that tyranny can only exist in the state of desire, is in our view to adopt a more Stoic than Pascalian point of view. For to deny disorder is also, according to Pascal, to deny sin by projecting into the second nature the memory of the first.

Class II malocclusion is one of the most frequent problems encountered in orthodontic. The most common characteristic of Class II malocclusion is mandibular retrognathia rather than maxillary protrusion according to McNamara. Non-growing patients with Class II mandibular retrusion are mostly treated with fixed functional appliances. This article represents two case reports of Class II division 2 malocclusion cases treated with Forsus Fatigue Resistant Appliance after initial levelling and alignment. Forsus Fatigue Resistant appliance in particular when used in conjunction with full bonded fixed appliance facilitate the correction of Class II Div 2 malocclusion by skeletal and dental changes.

The purpose of this study was to determine the role of human resources management (HRM) in the development of total quality management (TQM) in Jordan's public and private sectors. This study used a quantitative research technique to assess the study sample's characteristics and investigate the link between HRM practices and TQM in Jordan's public and private sectors. There were 235 Jordanians in the research sample who were used by the public and private sectors in the HRM department. . A simple random sampling method was applied to ensure that every participant had a similar chance of being included in the research. A questionnaire with elements relating to HRM practices and total quality management was used to collect data. The results indicate that human resources planning, training, and performance evaluation play significant roles in the development of TQM in both the public and private sectors in Jordan. However, organizational bonuses demonstrate a weak relationship with TQM. As a result, institutional policymakers may greatly benefit from HRM and TQM by achieving strategic objectives and enhancing overall performance. This entails creating standards for quality, identifying risks, streamlining processes and guaranteeing customer satisfaction. The study recommendations can be made based on the mutual relationship between HRM and TQM to improve integration and make the most of this relationship such as by developing integrated training programs and integrating individual goals with quality goals.

Published: April 2024

Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic, relapsing vasculitis of unknown etiology that is characterized by mucocutaneous, ocular, articular, vascular, gastrointestinal, and central nervous system.It mainly affects young subjects, generally 20 to 30 years old with a predominance of men. Thoracic involvement of Behcet's disease is unusual but serious. It is related to the well known vascular tropism of the disease. It may involve the superior vena cava, pulmonary arteries, aorta and subclavian vessels. These vascular attacks can be arterial or venous thrombosis, aneurysms or pseudo-aneurysms .In Behçet's disease, pulmonary artery aneurysms are considered exceptional. these aneurysms manifest themselves by recurrent hemoptysis as is the case with our patient who consulted in pneumolgy department 20 august 1953 at the university hospital Ibn Rochd Casablanca, for a moderate to great abundance hemoptysis revealing an angio-behcet. This is a negative element in patients with BD. it is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency.The treatment of BD is not well codified but it depends on the severity of the systemic manifestations. Regarding vascular involvement, surgical treatment of an aneurysm with all its risks in patients with Behçet's disease frequently results in aneurysm recurrence. The arterial aneurysms have a poor prognosis, especially pulmonary aneurysms.

médiastinal Coelomic cysts are rare cysts of mesothelial origin. They represent 4 to 11% of all mediastinal tumors. It affects both men and women. The diagnosis is often made in adulthood. They are often asymptomatic
We repport the rare case of mesothelial cyst of mediastinum. A 38-year-old woman with no medical history, she was reffered to our department after chest X-ray showed a giant anterior madiastinum. The lesion was resected by VATS, which revealed a médiastinal cystic that extends from the top of the anterior mediastinum to the diaphragm.
On histological section, the cystic wall is seat of a significant inflammatory, lined by a flattened epithelial lining of mesothelial type, conclusive to mediastinal pleural mesothelial cyst.
The prognosis is excellent in the short and long term.

Published: April 2024

The article presents to agroecology (AE) as a sustainable approach in Slovenia. AE deals with contents as the ecology in agriculture, organic farming, sustainable agriculture, green agriculture, permaculture, ecoremediations, integrated farming and natural agriculture. According to the official definition the term AE means the use of traditional practices that are consistent with the characteristics of the local environment and do not limit only on food production, but also on food processing (recipes), products made from natural materials, especially wood, stone and construction as well as on ways of sustainable relationship to nature (water storage, attitude to water use, attitude to soil, shallow ploughing, attitudes toward animals, plants). We have discovered the concept of AE and its use in Slovenia. In Slovenia the term is limited to the understanding of the importance ecology in agriculture. The representatives of the Slovenian institutions of the Chamber of agriculture and forestry who have a similar project on the topic of AE, designed for agricultural consultants, having described different form of AE. In project Agroecology at the Faculty of Arts we develop educational moduls for teaching AE in practise.
Thermal regime of annual air temperature in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Drešković Nusret , Mirić Ranko 
Published: April 2024

Horizontal air temperature is defined by the value of the mean air temperature for a certain surface area unit. It is defined by the value of horizontal thermal gradient, i.e. the value of average change of horizontal temperature per unit area. In order to define the horizontal change of air temperature in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a GRID thermal model was constructed whose spatial resolution is 20 m. Based on obtained thermal model geo-database it was determined that the mean annual air temperature for the whole area of Bosnia and Herzegovina is about 10.9 °C, keeping in mind that there are significant thermal differences with respect to the two existing climate zones. More specifically, on the territory of the northern temperate climate zone the average annual temperature is about 9.7 °C, while in the Mediterranean climate zone the said value is 12.1 °C. In this work, it was also found that thermal contrasts are very pronounced as well, due to the fact that average annual temperature in the highest mountain peak zones in southeastern Bosnian highlands is negative and is found to be -1.4 °C (Maglić peak), while at the Neum coastal zone it is measured at 15.9 °C. The above stated pronounced thermal contrasts are determined on a small horizontal distance, as a consequence of climactic position of Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as highly pronounced terrain dynamics.

Published: April 2024

Evropa ima v svetovnem merilu najgostejšo mrežo zavarovanih območij. Seveda ta območja niso nič manj pod vplivov podnebnih sprememb v primerjavi z ostalimi. Skrb vzbujajoče je dejstvo, da so napovedi glede ohranjanja podnebne primernosti za vrste evropskega pomena v nekaterih Natura 2000 območjih po Evropi, v primerjavi z nezavarovanimi območji, celo slabše. Z vidika Slovenije bodo podnebnim spremembam v drugi polovici tega stoletja, po trenutnih napovedih, tako najbolj izpostavljene živalske in rastlinski vrste v omrežju Natura 2000 submediteranske in subpanonske regije. Bolj stabilne podnebne razmere bodo v višje ležečih predelih države. Tovrstne študije, ki ponujajo objektivno oceno vpliva podnebnih sprememb v prostoru, so še kako pomembne za upravljavce in odločevalce v zavarovanih območjih, da lahko pripravljajo in potencialno realizirajo omilitvene ukrepe na ustreznih ranljivih površinah.
Farms and Mines: A Conflicting or Complimentary Land Use Dilemma in Western Australia?
Authors: Haslam McKenzie Fiona M. 
Published: April 2024

The Western Australian economy has always been underpinned by farming and mining. Over the last five years the economy has experienced phenomenal growth due to unprecedented global demand for resources and increasingly, agricultural land is being given up for mining. Changing land uses challenge industry and community leaders; some communities are overwhelmed by a new population connected with mining, bringing with it a range of social and economic tensions that small communities struggle to cope with. This paper will discuss the conflicting issues regarding land use planning, local and environmental governance and sense of place while also canvassing positive developments that have enhanced community and regional economic development, thus building a resilient future.
Petdeset let delovanje Oddelka za geografijo in študija geografije v Mariboru
Authors: Horvat Uroš 
Published: April 2024

V letu 2011 mineva 50 let od ustanovitve Pedagoške akademije v Mariboru, katere ena od naslednic je tudi Filozofska fakulteta v Mariboru. V prispevku je prikazan razvoj Oddelka za geografijo in študija geografije v Mariboru, ki je v tem obdobju prešel skozi različna razvojna obdobja, tako v smislu organizacijskih oblik ter kadrovske zasedenosti, kot tudi glede na vrsto izvajanja izobraževalnih programov ter obsega znanstvenoraziskovalnega dela. Temeljno poslanstvo oddelka, to je izobraževanje kadrov za poučevanje geografije v osnovni in srednji šoli, se je izvajalo s pomočjo različnih študijskih programov. Leta 1985 je Pedagoška akademija prerasla v Pedagoško fakulteto in s tem dveletni višješolski študij geografije v štiriletni visokošolski študij, ki je bil od leta 1995 univerzitetni. Z ustanovitvijo Filozofske fakultete v Mariboru je leta 2006 Oddelek za geografijo postal del le-te, istočasno pa je prehod na nove študijske programe, ki so pripravljeni v skladu z Bolonjsko deklaracijo, prinesel vrsto novosti, pa tudi izzivov; tako za izvajalce kot študente.

Published: April 2024

V Sloveniji že leta izjavljamo, da želimo imeti bolj trajnostno mobilnost, na terenu pa lahko ugotovimo drugačna dejstva. Pri razvoju sistema javnega potniškega prometa se sprašujemo predvsem, kam investirati javni denar, da bo prišlo do želenih premikov v izboru načina potovanja. V podporo nosilcem odločanja je razvit model v obliki enačbe, s pomočjo katere je moč verodostojneje napovedati učinke ukrepov, kot so integrirana enotna vozovnica, bistveno znižanje cene vozovnic, sprememba cene parkiranja v mestih, povečanje obsega ponudbe vlakov itd.. Model je validiran in umerjen na vzorcu potovanj na delo iz okoliških naselij v Maribor.

Published: April 2024

The paper analyzes the socio-economic and geographic factors for Berane Andrijevice and Plava. The above urban settlements are located in the northeastern part of Montenegro. Isolated traffic and geographical position adversely affects the economic and social development of urban settlements. For the development of cities of greater importance are the geo-morphological and hydrological characteristics of the terrain, the climate and geology, which limits greatly compensates for modern construction techniques. Berane population increased in the period 1948-2003 to 26.81%, while in Andrijevica decreased by 42.48% and 12.43% of Plav. These data suggest to us most vividly, what are the demographic changes occurring in the region. Age groups, due to migration and decreasing birth rate changes and gets unfavorable features - reducing the proportion of younger and older increases the proportion of the population. In both cases, the disturbed age structure has a reverse effect on the movement of the population (the size of reproductive contingent), but also to all other structures of the population (the size of contingent employment, population, compulsory school contingent, contingent dependent population ratio).The main characteristic of modern urban development of cities provide processes of industrialization and urbanization. However, the economic crisis in Montenegro at the beginning of the nineties due to isolation, the economic and social strategy of circling and lack of long term economic development, stopped the social, economic, technical and technological development of urban settlement Berane, Andrijevica and Plav.

V prispevku so predstavljena nekatera teoretična izhodišča, ki opredeljujejo domače naloge kot pomemben del učnega procesa. Učenci z njimi dopolnjujejo pridobljeno znanje in razvijajo sposobnosti pri predmetu, predvsem pa se usposabljajo za samostojno učenje in prepoznavanje osebne odgovornosti zanj. S študijem primera predstavljamo raziskavo o pogostosti, namembnosti in vsebini domačih nalog pri pouku geografije ter motiviranosti učencev in učiteljev zanje na osnovni šoli Petrovče. Rezultati kažejo, da se učenci in učitelji na teoretični ravni sicer zavedajo pozitivnega vpliva domačih nalog na učenčevo učenje in razvijanje samostojnosti. Kljub temu učenci nalog ne opravljajo redno, učitelji dajejo premalo raznolike in diferencirano osmišljene domače naloge.

Authors: Volokitin A. , Volokitina N. 
Published: April 2024

The Vylys Tom 3 Mesolithic site is part of the Izhma-Tom geoarchaeological microregion, where there are now 6 Mesolithic sites explored by excavations. The site is located on the right bank of the middle course of the Izhma river in the vicinity of the village Tom, Izhma region of the Komi Republic, on the remnant of a pine forested fluvial terrace above floodplain. It was discovered in 2018 and then surveyed in 2021, 2023. On the excavated area the concentration of finds with a diameter of 4-5 m was revealed, accompanied by fragments of calcified bones and charcoal. Small concentrations of finds were located around it. Radiocarbon date for charcoal is 8150±90 years ago (LU-10576).
The collection includes a polished axe, abrasive tools and a large hammerstone. The flint inventory contains a large number of small cores in the final knapping stage. At the same time, large and very large specimens predominate among the blades and tools made of them. Attention is drawn to the presence of the so-called core-burins, there are burins on broken blades, a large number of scrapers. Large points are available.
The lithic industry of the Vylys Tom 3 site is similar to the industries of the nearby Mesolithic sites Vylys Tom 2 and Ochyu katishche.

Published: April 2024

The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between student engagement, brand image, student satisfaction and loyalty. Furthermore, the study intends to explore the mediating role of student satisfaction in the relationship between engagement and loyalty as well as brand image and loyalty in the context of higher education. A representative sample of 296 students from the three best private universities in Dhaka has been gathered in order to test the hypotheses. The study demonstrates that brand image has a favorable impact on student satisfaction while student engagement has no influence on student satisfaction. The results show that loyalty is heavily influenced by the student satisfaction construct. When there is no mediation between student engagement and loyalty, a complete mediation is recognized when student satisfaction is a mediator between brand image and student loyalty. The study also reveals that there is a negative correlation between student engagement and satisfaction. The results of the research definitely improve brand perception which keeps students engaged to their higher education.
Reservoir Properties Estimation Using Flow Zone Indicator and Artificial Neural Network Integration: A Case Study

Published: April 2024

Abstract
In today's financially constrained business landscape, companies often grapple with challenges related to allocating capital expenses, resulting in a scarcity of reservoir characterization data. This shortage necessitates the optimization of existing data and the estimation of unavailable reservoir properties. While classical correlations in core analysis traditionally used porosity to predict permeability, the intricate interplay of lithology and pore geometry renders this approach unreliable for exclusive permeability estimation from porosity. This study aims to advance the understanding of the Tortonian reservoir in the Gamma oil field by exploring the combined application of Flow Zone Indicator (FZI), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Convergent Interpolation (CI) methodologies. Utilizing data from an exploratory well and four appraisal wells, the study seeks to model the intricate non-linear relationships between Tortonian reservoir properties, determine effective porosity, estimate permeability for uncured wells, and create a comprehensive permeability map for the Tortonian oil reservoir.
The results reveal the presence of three distinct rock types within the Tortonian reservoirs and successfully establish estimates for effective porosity and permeability logs. Notably, the generated permeability map demonstrates a direct correlation with the porosity map, validating the proposed methodology. Through the integrated use of FZI, ANN, and CI techniques, the reliability of the porosity-permeability relationship is significantly enhanced, achieving an impressive accuracy of 90%. This study effectively models the nuanced non-linear porosity-permeability relationship within the Tortonian reservoir, offering an economically viable means to enhance reservoir characterization within the constraints of a limited capital budget and accessible data sources.
