Published: January 2025

Population growth in Indonesia is increasing rapidly; of course, the volume of waste is growing because people's activities continue using things that are not environmentally friendly. This phenomenon can be seen in Marengan Laok Village, Kalianget District, Sumenep Regency, which is claimed to be a slum village. The community service carries two goals: building awareness and providing real action to residents by providing theoretical and practical knowledge to the community about waste processing or recycling to solve this problem. In this case, the service uses a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, which addresses issues and fulfills the practical needs of society, the production of knowledge, and the process of social change, as well as raising collective critical awareness. After analysis, the community's indifference is based on a lack of knowledge, skills in recycling domestic waste, and a lack of attention from the government. Through a united, socialist community culture and support from the village government and local community leaders, the PCM program, which consists of preventing, controlling, and recycling waste, can gradually make people aware of the importance of protecting the environment. This success is supported by the establishment of the UPT Abhinar Waste Laboratory, which is used as extra handling so that domestic waste does not endanger people's lives and residents can recycle organic and inorganic waste, such as making eco paving blocks, accessories, bags, and others.

Abstract
It is widely assumed that dust opacities in molecular clouds follow a power-law profile with an index, β. Recent studies of the Orion Molecular Cloud (OMC) 2/3 complex, however, show a flattening in the spectral energy distribution (SED) at λ > 2 mm, implying nonconstant indices on scales ≳0.08 pc. The origin of this flattening is not yet known, but it may be due to the intrinsic properties of the dust grains or contamination from other sources of emission. We investigate the SED slopes in OMC 2/3 further using observations of six protostellar cores with Northern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA) from 2.9–3.6 mm and Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Atacama Compact Array in Band 4 (1.9–2.1 mm) and Band 5 (1.6–1.8 mm) on core and envelope scales of ∼0.02–0.08 pc. We confirm flattened opacity indices between 2.9 mm and 3.6 mm for the six cores with β ≈ −0.16 to 1.45, which are notably lower than the β-values of >1.3 measured for these sources on 0.08 pc scales from single-dish data. Four sources have consistent SED slopes between the ALMA data and the NOEMA data. We propose that these sources may have a significant fraction of emission coming from large dust grains in embedded disks, which biases the emission more at longer wavelengths. Two sources, however, had inconsistent slopes between the ALMA and NOEMA data, indicating different origins of emission. These results highlight how care is needed when combining multiscale observations or extrapolating single-band observations to other wavelengths.
Va-t-on vers des politiques de transport pilotées par les données ?
Authors: La Fortelle Arnaud de , Vöge Tom 
Published: January 2025

La digitalisation de la société a produit nombre de ruptures. Le transport, après bien d’autres secteurs, est secoué par les discussions autour du véhicule autonome ou des services de type Uber. Les autorités en charge des transports sont confrontées au même problème que les autres secteurs : comment encourager l’innovation sous sa forme positive, en créant de nouveaux services, tout en améliorant, sans le sacrifier, tout l’existant ? Le point d’interrogation du titre de cet article est presque provocateur, tellement il semble que le choix est fait. Il est clair que la donnée devra être utilisée : le but de cet article est donc plutôt d’introduire le cadre et la manière dont cette mutation devrait avoir lieu et de donner des clefs de compréhension pour aller plus loin.
Entreprise libérée et pratiques numériques
Authors: Roux Emmanuelle , Krewer Jan 
Published: January 2025

Par une restructuration des marchés, par l’apparition de nouveaux concurrents, mais aussi par l’adoption de nouveaux usages chez les salariés, le numérique exerce de manière croissante une pression sur les entreprises, qui doivent à la fois se transformer pour maintenir leur capacité à innover et inventer des méthodes de travail favorisant l’autonomie de leurs employés. Mais ce n’est pas seulement la bureaucratie interne de l’entreprise qui est touchée : de nouvelles formes de « travail ouvert » se répandent, qui se fondent sur une collaboration resserrée avec un nombre croissant d’acteurs extérieurs. L’horizontalité radicale développée par de nouveaux collectifs de travail peut aller jusqu’à remettre en cause le modèle même de l’entreprise : la définition de ses frontières et son mode de gouvernance. Afin d’empêcher l’apparition de nouvelles inégalités au travail, mais aussi de nouvelles formes de dépendance économique, il est essentiel de développer de nouveaux modèles organisationnels offrant un cadre aux associations fluides et ponctuelles de l’économie numérique, tout en favorisant la liberté et la responsabilité du plus grand nombre.
Intelligence artificielle et contrôle de gestion : un rapport aux chiffres revisité et des enjeux organisationnels
Authors: Moinard Christian , Berland Nicolas 
Published: January 2025

L’arrivée de l’ensemble de technologies qualifiées parfois « d’informatique cognitive », d’IA, de big data … (Shivam et al ., 2018) pourrait bouleverser l’approche de la performance des entreprises. Plus qu’une nouvelle manière d’analyser la performance (à travers l’apparition de nouveaux indicateurs), c’est un nouveau rapport aux données chiffrées que ces technologies induisent. Mais ces approches ne sont pas sans risque. Afin d’éviter les dangers de modèles algorithmiques qui seraient des boites noires et afin de répondre aux enjeux de schémas d’interprétation mis sous tension, c’est une transformation des métiers (et principalement de celui des contrôleurs de gestion) et des organisations qui est attendue. Les chiffres étant des conventions, des construits sociaux, toute transformation des modalités de production des chiffres implique des transformations des systèmes sociaux sur lesquels ils agissent.
Une IA ou des IA ? Représentations et relations avec les IA
Authors: La Fortelle Arnaud de 
Published: January 2025

Cette simple question : « Une ou bien des intelligences artificielles ? » nous introduit dans la complexité de notre relation avec la notion même d’intelligence artificielle (IA). Comme pour l’homme, il n’y a bien entendu pas une seule intelligence et déjà la définition du concept se révèle difficile. Le fameux test de Turing – qui déciderait quand une intelligence artificielle serait du même niveau que l’homme – est de plus en plus contesté et ne donne aucune définition, au mieux il procède par la voie d’une comparaison et d’une analogie. Mais ce n’est pas tant le concept qui nous intéresse ici, que sa représentation qui influe sur notre usage de la technologie et notre relation avec celle-ci.
Bioinformatics exploration of identified garlic-derived antimicrobial peptides: a food-based approach to quorum sensing inhibition in foodborne pathogens
Authors: Dahab Mahmoud , Aladhadh Mohammed 
Published: January 2025

The growing frequency of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms requires novel antimicrobial methods. Quorum Sensing (QS), a bacterial communication system, is critical for controlling virulence factors and biofilm development, contributing to many foodborne bacteria' pathogenicity. Garlic, a natural substance, is a widely consumed plant with antimicrobial properties and antibacterial capabilities, although its peptide components are poorly unknown. This study evaluated garlic-derived peptides' ability to inhibit QS in foodborne bacteria. Two garlic-derived peptides, including VS-9 and F3-3-c, undergo bioinformatics research to determine their structural features, bioactivity, physicochemical parameters, and potential interactions with target modeled proteins of LasR QS from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Biofilm-associated surface protein (Baps) from Staphylococcus aureus, and sortase A (SrtA) from Staphylococcus aureus. VS-9 has the most favorable structure properties, which could be essential for its inhibitory activity against LasR, Baps, and SrtA proteins. We have modeled, characterized, and docked garlic-derived peptides to assess their antimicrobial properties. Even though VS-9 showed more anti QS activity than F3-3-c, more research is needed to fully understand their mechanisms of action and maximize their therapeutic potential.
Psychiatric nurses’ knowledge of COVID-19 within a patient care context: A qualitative study
Authors: Dyonase Sandisiwe , Swanepoel Isabelle , Lippi Gian 
Published: January 2025

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection caused unparalleled hastening of the transmission of infection worldwide, commonly affecting healthcare workers’ well-being. Nursing staff spend most hours caring for patients and are the first contact that patients utilise when reporting symptoms or receiving treatment.Aim: This study aims to evaluate the knowledge of COVID-19 among psychiatric nurses at a tertiary psychiatric hospital.Setting: Weskoppies Hospital, Gauteng, South Africa.Methods: We conducted a qualitative study comprising 14 semi-structured interviews with nurses working at Weskoppies Hospital in South Africa. We used open-ended questions to facilitate the discussion and provide some structure for the interview while still allowing the participants to elaborate freely. The recordings were later transcribed into text.Results: Twenty nurses working full time at the hospital, were recruited for the study. The nurses’ knowledge about COVID-19 was summarised into five major themes, each with subthemes: signs and symptoms of COVID-19, risk of contracting the virus, the spread of COVID-19, prevention, and complications. In this study, the majority of participants had relatively good knowledge regarding COVID-19.Conclusion: The majority of nurses at the hospital had adequate knowledge about COVID-19 but limited knowledge about the mode of transmission of the infection. Consistently improving healthcare workers’ knowledge about infection control measures through training, supplying information and identifying areas for improvement can ultimately enhance patient care and outcomes.Contribution: This study sheds light on the value of nurses’ understanding of COVID-19, particularly in a psychiatric setting.
Changes in the corneal surface in eyes undergoing small incision cataract surgery with frown incision
Authors: Vats Vatsala , Shakeel Tarannum , Bhatla Tanvi 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Context:
Small incision cataract surgery (SICS) is a popular technique for the management of cataracts as it is fast, efficient, and less costly than other surgical methods. It can be done with different types of incisions like a frown, “V,” straight for making the sclerocorneal tunnel. Postoperative changes in the corneal surface are an important concern for both the patient and the surgeon.

Aims:
In this study, we aim to compare the corneal surface changes between two surgical hands in the eyes undergoing SICS with frown incision.

Settings and Design:
It is a hospital-based, prospective, cross-sectional study.

Materials and Methods:
It is a cross-sectional, prospective, hospital-based study. A total of 120 eyes undergoing SICS were taken, and divided into two groups according to the two expert surgeons. The frown incision was given in all eyes.

Results:
In a cross-sectional study of 120 patients, we found that there was no significant difference in the demographic profile of patients in the two groups. The changes in K1 and K2 after frown incision were insignificant in group 1 with a P value of 0.08 and 0.2, respectively. Similarly, keratometric changes in group 2 were insignificant with a P value of 0.05 and 0.06 for K1 and K2, respectively.

Conclusion:
The study shows that frown incision leads to insignificant keratometric changes even when the surgical hand is different. However, refraction could vary according to the surgeon and the patient’s optical medium.
Evaluation of optic nerve sheath diameter in patients undergoing robotic hysterectomy in steep Trendelenburg position compared to open abdominal hysterectomy in supine position: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Singla Deepak , Mageshwaran T , Payal Yashwant S. , Thakuria Ruma , Shrestha Kajal 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background and Aims:
Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) is believed to be one of the side effects of prolonged Trendelenburg position in robotic gynecologic surgeries. Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) corresponds to a rise in ICP. However, the data from robotic hysterectomy surgeries is limited. So, we had planned this study with an aim to detect and compare the change in ONSD during prolonged steep Trendelenburg position in robotic hysterectomy compared to open total abdominal hysterectomy in a supine position.

Material and Methods:
This was a prospective, observational, parallel-group, single-center study. Patients undergoing elective robotic hysterectomy and open total abdominal hysterectomy were included in this study. ONSD, end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2), heart rate, and mean arterial pressure were assessed in both the groups after intubation (T0), after steep Trendelenburg position (T1), at 30 min (T2), 90 min (T3), and 180 min after docking (T4), and at the completion of surgery (de-docking) (T5). In patients undergoing open hysterectomy, the same parameters were recorded immediately after intubation (T0), at skin incision (T1), at 30 min (T2), 90 min (T3), and 180 min after skin incision (T4), and at the completion of surgery (T5).

Results:
Compared to the patients undergoing open hysterectomy, robotic hysterectomy patients had a significantly higher ONSD at time points T2, T3, and T4, with the maximum difference noted at the time point T4. EtCO2 was higher in patients undergoing robotic hysterectomy, though the difference was significant only at time point T2. No patient in our study had any symptom or sign of raised ICP in the postoperative period.

Conclusion:
The steep Trendelenburg position used in robotic hysterectomy causes a significant increase in ONSD intraoperatively, and that the changes are reversible after the procedure. Further, we did not observe any complication of raised ICP postoperatively.
UNVEILING THE IMPACT OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT ON EMPLOYEES’ PERFORMANCE IN MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES
Authors: Sija Andrew 
Published: January 2025

<p>The issue of employers often failing to provide the required training and support to meet employees’ expectations is crucial, especially if the organization wants to remain competitive and prioritise employees' career growth and development. This study's overarching aim is to empirically examine how training and development impact employee performance in selected manufacturing enterprises (MMEs). An unrestricted Probability sampling strategy was deployed with a mixed approach on a total of 155 respondents from various level positions collected through a self-administered questionnaire, and direct interviews were also conducted with respondents from selected manufacturing enterprises. The collected data was analyzed using statistical tools (SPSS version 21). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used as a measure of the strength and direction of the impact relationship. This study seeks to establish how the independence variables, i.e. training and development, impact employee performance. The results revealed that training and development were critical and had a strong, significant relationship with employee performance. The significant regression equation was found p&lt; .05, with an R² = .461. The R² value of .461 indicates that 46.1% of the variation in employee performance is significantly explained by the model containing independent variables. Therefore, the study contributes to the development of training and development literature by providing a reasonable explanation of its effects on employee performance. Moreover, analysis of unstandardized coefficients shows that the beta value of 0.700 was supported by stronger predictors affecting employee performance in manufacturing enterprises.</p>

Authors: Shapaka Rehabeam K. 
Published: January 2025

The aim of the study was to explore the effect of principals’ instructional strategies on the academic performance of teachers. Data was collected through the interview schedule, field notes and the open-ended questionnaire. Criterion purposeful sampling technique was used to select ten principals and ten teachers from ten schools. Data analysis was conducted using typological analysis, content analysis and Atlas.ti. The findings have established the effect of principals’ instructional strategies on the academic performance of teachers, the prevailing instructional strategies used and the association between instructional strategies and the existing academic performance of teachers. Principals need to study and learn the application of instructional strategies, apply instructional strategies to optimise their success and enhance the academic performance of teachers, which result in student academic performance. Principals need to use instructional strategies to enhance the academic performance of teachers. Principals’ instructional strategies affect the academic performance of teachers, which affects the schools, principals, and teachers’ performance, which results in positive or negative student academic performance.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0767/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
