Authors: Al Hosani Abdulla , Al Mheiri Hamama , El Khatib Mounir 
Published: May 2023

Abstract

This research paper examines the importance of emotional intelligence skills for project manager communication skills and project success. The main problem is that the number of complex projects has increased across different sectors such as aerospace and infrastructure. In addition, the projects are different in nature and each project requires certain skills and resources, and most companies focus on hiring people based on their experience or technical skills without paying attention to their soft skills. The research is based on gathering various data from primary and secondary sources. The primary data were collected through formal interviews with three managers in the ministry of health and prevention while the secondary data were obtained from different academic articles and e-books. The results showed that the ministry of health and prevention started focusing on emotional intelligence skills during the last few years only. Also, some managers consider it as an additional skill that can add value to project manager communication skills, and it is not an important factor for the project success. On the other hand , other managers from human resources department confirmed that recruiting a project manager with high understanding of emotional intelligence is important for them .Also , results showed that top-managers focus mainly on the organizational performance (50%) .However , they must improve their listening skills which were represented by 35% of the sample size, and they should focus more on creativity and empathy to enhance their interrelationships .

Collaborative Systems have played major role developing performances in organizations, increase efficiency in taking right decisions, increase coordination and communication among various departments in the organization, and allow managers to detect errors and deal with them effectively. Collaborative Systems have provided link between organization and stakeholders and allow them to participate in decision making for better implementation and adoption.
Collaborative systems have great influence on companies working in governmental sector like DEWA, DU, and Dubai Municipality. Those systems have played major roles in increasing effectiveness, coordination among various departments, allow those companies to provide better services, reducing duplications of processes(save time), saving resources to reduce operating costs, and increase collaboration with private sectors and civil society to achieve what is best for the organization and society as well.
In this paper we will focus on the importance of collaborative systems in most successful public organizations in Dubai (DEWA, DU, and Dubai Municipality) by focusing on real situations or cases they face with collaborative systems and how they deal with it in order to develop a clear perspective that will benefit us in our future careers.

Towards a decolonial health
Authors: Do Nascimento Ukaivbera Gladys 
Published: May 2023

Upon the arrival of the Europeans to Abya Yala, the pre -existing peoples and nations were forced to rule out our constituent ancestral parameters on the management of health, disease, life, death and incorporate taxes by a culture that had not yet been resolved for itself, This current vision of universality of health.
Modern Western logic imposes a universalist premise and hurt on the human body. As a predictable and independent machine, therefore, it studies it in parts, from there the hyper specializations, and the diseases as it causes demonstrable effects scientifically, and almost the mostly the material biological effect is treated, without any link with the emotional and/ or subtle.
This cut universalist belief of Western medicine is perhaps, one of the failures to so many unresolved problems on different continents, in the face of diseases. To achieve the myth of these stereotyped public policies, foods are distributed from the first years of life, to populations; Without taking into account his diets, his cultures, without understanding, for example, that the intestinal flora of a Charrúa child on the Costa del Paraná is not equal to that of the Californian coast. Medical recommendations are taken without taking into account sociocultural and environmental conditions.
At present, and despite the varied legislation in force in our country, Argentina, on the health rights of indigenous populations, the policies in this regard are only in dead letter without reaching its effectiveness. Adding one more historical debt.
Health is and will be for us peoples, a commitment to life, in the broadest feeling. A harmonious interrelation with the same, with the human and cosmic community where we develop. The medicinal practices determined by the principles of reciprocity, interrelation and correspondence with the whole in all dimensions of the lives.

This study deals with development of engineering geo-data and modelling, as an essential tool for design, construction, and management of civil engineering structures in Ondo metropolis, Southwestern Nigeria. Findings revealed the soils are predominantly of sandy silt to clayey silt, silty sand to sandy silt, and sandy clay, with %fines of 48.25, and 51.75 % sand. The depth to basement rock was 22.2 m (avg.), and evidenced of fractured rock at depth range of 9.9 – 26 m. The average static water levels 2.5 m (in well) – 26 m (in borehole). The average values of plasticity index, soaked CBR, group index, unconfined compressive strength, and permeability are 23.9%, 7%, 6, 186.8 KN/m2, and 1.68E-05 cm/s respectively. The recommended minimum thickness of 79 – 140 mm (avg. 109 mm) obtained from design curves will be sufficient for flexible pavement. The average allowable bearing capacity of the soil for square and round foundations varied from 234 – 297 KN/m2 (avg. 268 KN/m2) and 232 – 298 KN/m2 (avg. 268 KN/m2) with estimated total settlement of 17.69 – 18.88 mm (avg. 18.28 mm) for structural pressure of 100 KN/m2. For embankment, the suitability index of the soil suggests a fair/expanding not collapsible construction material. Rocks of igneous and metamorphic rock of high compressive/shear strength, modulus of elasticity, high crushing strength, low deformability, and presumable bearing capacity of 8, 000 – 10, 000 KPa when fresh, and between 5000 – 7000 KPa when slightly weathered. Therefore are valuable as foundation constructions, aggregate in pavement, building stone, and armourstones. The correlation coefficients give between MDD/PI vs. CBR (0.1113), LL vs. coefficient of consolidation (0.0018), PI vs. undrained shear strength/effective overburden (0.0332), PI vs. angle of shearing (0.013), dry density vs. angle of shearing (0.2131), suitability index vs. CBRs (0.3494), clay contents vs. PI (0.422).

Investigating the association of measures of epigenetic age with COVID-19 severity: evidence from secondary analyses of open access data
Authors: Jonviea D. Chamberlain , Nusslé Sébastien , Bochud Murielle , Gonseth-Nusslé Semira 
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND: Epigenetic modifications may contribute to inter-individual variation that is unexplainable by presently known risk factors for COVID-19 severity (e.g., age, excess weight, or other health conditions). Estimates of youth capital (YC) reflect the difference between an individual’s epigenetic – or biological – age and chronological age, and may quantify abnormal aging due to lifestyle or other environmental exposures, providing insights that could inform risk-stratification for severe COVID-19 outcomes. This study aims to thereby a) assess the association between YC and epigenetic signatures of lifestyle exposures with COVID-19 severity, and b) to assess whether the inclusion of these signatures in addition to a signature of COVID-19 severity (EPICOVID) improved the prediction of COVID-19 severity.
METHODS: This study uses data from two publicly-available studies accessed via the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) platform (accession references: GSE168739 and GSE174818). The GSE168739 is a retrospective, cross-sectional study of 407 individuals with confirmed COVID-19 across 14 hospitals in Spain, while the GSE174818 sample is a single-center observational study of individuals admitted to the hospital for COVID-19 symptoms (n = 102). YC was estimated using the (a) Gonseth-Nusslé, (b) Horvath, (c) Hannum, and (d) PhenoAge estimates of epigenetic age. Study-specific definitions of COVID-19 severity were used, including hospitalization status (yes/no) (GSE168739) or vital status at the end of follow-up (alive/dead) (GSE174818). Logistic regression models were used to assess the association between YC, lifestyle exposures, and COVID-19 severity.
RESULTS: Higher YC as estimated using the Gonseth-Nusslé, Hannum and PhenoAge measures was associated with reduced odds of severe symptoms (OR = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.91–1.00; OR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.75 - 0.86; and OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.81–0.88, respectively) (adjusting for chronological age and sex). In contrast, a one-unit increase in the epigenetic signature for alcohol consumption was associated with 13% increased odds of severe symptoms (OR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.05–1.23). Compared to the model including only age, sex and the EPICOVID signature, the additional inclusion of PhenoAge and the epigenetic signature for alcohol consumption improved the prediction of COVID-19 severity (AUC = 0.94, 95% CI = 0.91–0.96 versus AUC = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.93–0.97; p = 0.01). In the GSE174818 sample, only PhenoAge was associated with COVID-related mortality (OR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.87–1.00) (adjusting for age, sex, BMI and Charlson comorbidity index).
CONCLUSIONS: Epigenetic age is a potentially useful tool in primary prevention, particularly as an incentive towards lifestyle changes that target reducing the risk of severe COVID-19 symptoms. However, additional research is needed to establish potential causal pathways and the directionality of this effect.

Pourquoi la démonstration fait-elle progresser la connaissance ?
Authors: Valdivia Fuenzalida José Antonio 
Published: May 2023

Cette étude tente de montrer que la démonstration est conçue par les commentateurs médiévaux comme un instrument permettant de faire progresser la connaissance du monde. Même si la théorie de la démonstration n’est pas une « logique de la découverte », elle aurait pour but spécifique de décrire les caractéristiques que devrait avoir un discours apte à manifester l’articulation causale de choses appartenant à un même genre. À partir de l’analyse de quelques textes de Thomas d’Aquin sur la distinction entre la connaissance propter quid et la connaissance quia, on montrera que ladite articulation représente la nouveauté même qui est censée être acquise par un syllogisme démonstratif. Cette conclusion sera confirmée par l’étude de quelques textes de la Logica d’al-Ghazālī qui semblent révéler des présupposés présents dans certains écrits des commentateurs latins comme Thomas d’Aquin.
