In this study, we investigated both meat-derived and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), exploring their genetic relatedness to patient-derived MRSA isolates in Saudi Arabia. We collected 250 meat samples and identified 53 S. aureus isolates, with 79% being methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and 21% being MRSA. Moreover, we included 80 clinically confirmed patient-derived MRSA isolates. We identified the most common S. aureus clone in both patients and retail meat. In meat, ST6 and ST97 were the most common clones in 55% of the MRSA isolates, and ST1153 and ST672 were the most common in 21% and 17% of the MSSA isolates. In patients, ST5 and ST6 were the predominant clones in 46% of the S. aureus isolates. CC5/ST5-SCCmecVc-t311 and CC361/ST672-SCCmecV-t3841 were common MRSA clones in both meat and patients. CC97 and CC361 clones were the second most prevalent S. aureus clones in meat and were relatively common in patients. Furthermore, we sequenced and characterized novel S. aureus strains ST8109, ST8110, and ST8111. The genomic similarities between meat- and patient-derived S. aureus isolates suggest that retail meat might be a reservoir for S.aureus and MRSA transmission. Therefore, a structured One Health approach is recommended for S. aureus dissemination, genetic characterization, antibiotic resistance, and impact on human health.

Published: December 2023

A compreensão dos mecanismos de processamento visual é essencial para o estudo da percepção visual. Neste artigo, foi discutido as áreas corticais envolvidas no processamento visual, como o córtex visual primário (área V1) e as áreas visual secundária e associativa. Essas áreas desempenham papéis distintos na análise de características visuais, como forma, cor e movimento. Além disso, foi destacado a importância de diferentes abordagens para analisar dados de atividade neural e resposta a estímulos visuais. Conclui-se que a integração de diferentes técnicas de análise, como séries temporais, curva ROC e modelos de rede, pode ampliar o escopo de investigação dos processos de percepção visual. Essas abordagens fornecem insights valiosos sobre a organização e o funcionamento do córtex visual em diferentes níveis de processamento. A aplicação dessas técnicas em estudos de percepção visual pode contribuir para uma compreensão mais profunda dos mecanismos envolvidos na formação da experiência visual.
Les armées françaises et l'observation à partir de la troisième dimension. Du ballon au satellite.
Authors: Carlier Claude 
Published: December 2023

Gathering intelligence on an adversary has always been a vital element of success. Man’s conquest of aerospace (the Third Dimension), beginning in 1783, opened up fresh perspectives. Reconnaissance was one of the first missions given to lighter-than-air vessels, balloons and dirigibles and then, from 1909, to aeroplanes. A half-century later the Third Dimension experienced an almost-limitless expansion with the conquest of space. Almost another fifty years on, new means to utilise the Third Dimension started to come into service with UAVs (known sometimes as drones).
New aerospace military reconnaissance systems are increasingly capable, complex to operationalise, and very expensive. The naval, army and air force military budgets must face up to additional costs because the new assets do not always simply replace older ones, they add to them. The development of such assets, by France and the European Union, is strategically crucial. A lack will condemn them to paralysis.

Published: December 2023

In the article we’d the aim to study challenges of on-line studying, to show the technical characteristics of online learning, to single out the pedagogical and psychological features of online learning. So, we described teaching method which are in a great degree enriched by the integration of information technologies into them; also, we defined the concept of “information and communication technology”; we showed the most commonly used information and communication technology’s method for assessing learner’s listening skills and giving feedback; we presented the field of information and different communication technologies.
The technical characteristics of online learning are: virtuality / conventionality of educational space and time; interactivity of educational methods and non-linearity of the communicative process, dispersion of its structure, synchronicity of communicative acts; the presence of an electronic signal, which determines the possibility of constant access to the Internet; distance and indirectness of online learning; preservation of the transcript of the educational process, the opportunity for teachers and students to reflect on their own activities; ease of updating and changing the content of text material and perceived educational material, which determine the efficiency of students’ performance of tasks and the ways of solving problems; more effective process of subject-subject interaction, openness in communication; conditional socialization; the possibility of simultaneous electronic search and syndication and the process of perceiving new information.
We also singled out the pedagogical and psychological features of online learning, such as: significant limitation of the person’s sensory experience to visual and auditory ones; a sense of a space and time, which is more different from a real image of the world; the presence of students in a state of continuous distracted attention, the feeling of being constantly overloaded with unnecessary educational material; the appearance of negative emotions in the case of rather limited access to wider cyberspace; the implementation of permanent recording of the results of cyber activity; multifacetedness and multiplicity of personality, virtual identity, disinhibition of “online self”; alignment of personal statuses and profiles, unlimited access to various interactions; change of personal priorities and behavior, feeling of complete “browsing”, “web surfing”, “filter bubble”.

O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar e analisar as estratégias de diferenciação dos engenhos da cidade de Areia, região do brejo paraibano, que compõem parte da rota turística Caminhos do Frio, especificamente no que diz respeito à Rota dos Engenhos. Quando os locais turísticos estabelecem conexões entre si, incorporando carcaterísticas e rotas específicas, isso resulta em uma compreensão mais profunda dos produtos e serviços turísticos, gerando insights valiosos para a experiência dos visitantes. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com gestores e/ou proprietários de quatro engenhos da região, a saber, engenho Vaca Brava, engenho Cachoeira, engenho Triunfo e engenho Ipueira. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que os quatro engenhos atrelam a produção de cachaça com a recepção de visitantes, ainda que nem todos tenham o turismo como grande enfoque. Dois deles cobram entradas e disponibilizam outros pontos de interesse para além do processo de produção da cachaça. Todos os engenhos apostam em estratégias de diferenciação, ainda que tais estratégias também sejam diferentes entre si. No que diz respeito às estratégias de marketing, todos os engenhos pesquisados utilizam as redes sociais como canal de marketing, dois engenhos têm também a prática de parcerias com atores locais, enquanto apenas um dos engenhos dispõe de um departamento de marketing. Pode-se observar, finalmente, que ainda que os engenhos pesquisados sejam diferentes entre si, tanto no que diz respeito ao tamanho da propriedade e volume de produção, como na relação para com o turismo e nas estratégias de diferenciação e de marketing, seus gestores têm como interesse comum o desenvolvimento da cidade de Areia e da região como produtora de cachaça, trabalhando em clima de cooperação.

Prognostic Factors for the Occurrence of Recurrent Major Adverse Cardiac Events after Isolated Coronary Arterial Bypass Graft
Authors: Lim Hendyono , Azzahra Maheswari Noersamsjah  , Andry Irawan  
Published: December 2023

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD), commonly known as coronary artery disease (CAD), is a heart disorder that occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart walls experience hardening and narrowing, leading to a reduced supply of oxygen and nutrients to the myocardial tissue due to limited coronary blood flow. The treatment of CHD requires revascularization or reperfusion procedures on the coronary blood vessels responsible for supplying the heart muscle. One recommended therapy is coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Patients post-CABG are at risk of experiencing major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
Methods: This design is a cross-sectional study involving all patients who underwent CABG at Siloam Hospitals in Lippo Village and Kebon Jeruk from January to June 2023. Data analysis using a regression approach aims to evaluate the relationship between various prognostic factors and MACE occurrences, thereby identifying a cross-sectional association between these variables and MACE events.
Results: Findings from this cross-sectional study indicate a correlation between overweight and the occurrence of recurrent MACE in patients with a history of CABG (p-value = 0.037). These results suggest that individuals with obesity undergoing CABG have a higher risk of experiencing recurrent MACE in CHD.
Conclusion: The prognostic factor for recurrent CHD-related major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) is body mass index (BMI). Monitoring body mass index (BMI) in CHD patients who have undergone CABG is essential to reduce the risk of recurring MACE in the future.
Affronter les tabous de la maternité par la créativité artistique : la représentation des fantasmes
Authors: Leverve Judit 
Published: December 2023

L’expression artistique en période de maternité devient fortement accentuée pour certaines femmes. Elles imaginent souvent que personne ne peut les comprendre autrement que par les images visibles : « c’est impossible à mettre en mot ». Elles souhaitent rendre visible pour les autres tout leur vécu invisible, qui traverse leur âme, leur souffrance, leur joie, tout leur vécu personnel. Dans l’art, le corps est investi, le peintre cherche la sensation colorée, et sur la toile au-delà de l’image peut surgir une sensation corporelle, ou une sensation tactile.

Published: December 2023

Face à la transformation digitale de l’entreprise et aux changements de business models, qu’adviendra-t-il du contrôle de gestion. Alors que, depuis de nombreuses années aucune évolution n’a été remarquée, il doit aujourd’hui faire face à une digitalisation et automatisation toujours plus importante des métiers de la comptabilité et de la finance d’entreprise. Alors que l’on entend régulièrement le terme « uberisation» des métiers de l’expertise comptable. Ce changement, porté par la digitalisation constitue-t-il une opportunité pour la fonction de contrôleur de gestion ? Après l’externalisation des experts comptables, devons-nous nous attendre à une externalisation du contrôle de gestion ? Après avoir définit les différents concepts du contrôle de gestion et de l’uberisation, nous irons confronter ces derniers aux besoins des PME/TPE françaises. Le contrôle de gestion doit-il envisager de se réinventer au risque de se faire uberiser ?
DURABILITY BEHAVIOR OF BANANA FIBER-REINFORCED NATURAL POZZOLAN GEOPOLYMER
Authors: Bariş Kübra Ekiz , Tanaçan Leyla 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
This research investigates the durability of waste banana fiber (BF) reinforced Earth of Datça (ED)-based geopolymer (EDBG) mortar under consecutive cycles of freeze-thaw, wetting-drying, and sulfate attack tests. ED is the volcanic tuff of the Datça Peninsula in Türkiye and was utilized as an aluminosilicate source, while sodium silicate (SS) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) solutions were used for alkaline activation. BF with a 20-mm length was added to the geopolymer mortar in the contents of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5%. Mortars were cured at 70°C and 95±5% RH for 24h, followed by ambient air curing at 20 °C and 55±5% RH for 28 days. In parallel with the increase in the fiber content added to the geopolymer (EDG) mortar, there was a slight decrease in compressive strengths but a significant increase in flexural strengths, as expected. This trend was also observed after all aging tests except after the sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) attack. With the 1.5% BF inclusion, the gain in compressive strength, flexural strength and weight was 27.31%, 12.79%, and 1.58% respectively, which might be due to the crystallization of the absorbed salts inside the structure. Among the aging tests, although freeze-thaw has the most deteriorating effect on both EDG and EDBG mortars, the utilization of fiber decreased the damage to the material, and the integrity of the material was maintained. The behavior of the material under the effect of wetting-drying can be defined as “0-specimen intact.” Therefore, it was proven that the use of banana fiber enhanced the durability of EDBG mortars under the aforementioned aging tests, and the building material produced within this experimental study can be used safely.
EVALUATING THE HEALTH AND SAFETY MATURITY OF SUSTAINABLE BUILDING PROJECTS USING A SUSTAINABLE HEALTH AND SAFETY MATURITY MODEL
Authors: Orogun Bezalel , Issa Mohamed H 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
The health and safety maturity of 20 sustainable building projects and 21 non-sustainable ones in Manitoba was evaluated using a Sustainable Health and Safety Maturity Model comprising 22 safety maturity drivers and 251 critical to safety practices assessed via a questionnaire survey. Sustainable building projects were found to have a higher level of health and safety maturity than that of the non-sustainable ones. Larger-sized companies were found to implement more mature health and safety practices on their sustainable building and non-sustainable building projects than smaller and medium sized companies. The safety maturity drivers of “safety policy and standard implementation,” “safety inspections” and “incident investigation, reporting and performance” were the most mature on sustainable building and non-sustainable building projects whereas “designing for safety,” and “alcohol and drug testing” were the least mature. General contractors can use the maturity model to evaluate and improve their projects’ health and safety maturity. Safety practitioners can also focus efforts on the safety maturity drivers with the highest influence to help enhance the effectiveness of their safety programs, especially when faced with resource constraints.

Published: December 2023

O presente estudo apresenta uma análise morfométrica de margens de lagoas naturais na região do Seridó potiguar, no semiárido brasileiro. As lagoas do semiárido são muito importantes para a região, visto que prestam importantes serviços ecossistêmicos enquanto habitat de várias espécies, uma das fontes de abastecimento de água, abrigando grande biodiversidade. O estudo teve como objetivo analisar o padrão morfométrico das margens dessa região. A metodologia baseou-se no processamento digital das imagens e na classificação e quantificação das classes por hectare, utilizando-se o índice F. A área de estudo apresentou um número total de 53 lagoas naturais, correspondendo a uma área total de 228,3 ha, sendo que todas as lagoas apresentaram formas semelhantes (circulares/ovais). Foram estabelecidas classes por tamanho em hectare. Essa medida foi feita através do cálculo do desvio-padrão, estabelecendo o valor máximo de30% para cada classe, sendo divididos seis intervalos de classes. O estudo da morfometria das lagoas continentais na área em análise vem a contribuir para melhor compreensão da variação das características morfométricas desses importantes sistemas aquáticos continentais em uma região tão carente de recursos hídricos durante a maior parte do tempo.
