The degree of utilization of passenger vehicle capacity affects the economic component of public transport operation. This is due to the fact that it depends on the number of passengers transported, as well as on the capacity of the passenger vehicle used for transportation. One of the tasks formulated in the state program of transport development of the Republic of Belarus is to achieve full self-sufficiency of public transport operation. One of the ways to achieve this goal can be maximizing the degree of use of passenger vehicle capacity by ensuring its compliance with the existing parameters of passenger flow. In this paper, based on the values of passenger flows in one of the cities of Belarus, obtained as a result of field observations in 2019 and 2024, we calculate an indicator that assesses the degree of utilization of passenger vehicle capacity, the factors that determine it, and the regularities of its change. Based on such calculations, the feasibility of creating a new public transport management technology based on daily forecasting of passenger traffic and distribution of passenger vehicles of different capacity to the routes taking this into account is shown.

The impact of science and technology today cannot be relegated to the background. There is basically no area of human endeavor that has not been affected directly or indirectly by technology. Advances in scientific research have been able to make life easy for man. Notwithstanding the blessings of technology in the 21st century, there is a wide range observation of the abuses of technology. This paper notes that humanity must not lose sight of the negative effects that may come from the abuse of technology and scientific researches. It is a fact that the problems of techno-scientific inventions and researches cannot be easily resolved; however, a direct confrontation between the discovery and instrumental model of science and technology could be avoided if techno-scientists and users utilize every good technology to the service of the human person. This paper recognizes the implication of techno-scientific progress of the 21st century bearing in mind as stated above, the creation and application of knowledge, with deep consideration of the happenstance between the works of those who make discoveries on one hand and those who use those discoveries, with the moral implications in view. It pays keen attention to the many ways man could harness the technology inherent in the 21st century to preserve rather than destroy life.

Nosocomial infections (NI) or healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are infections not present at the time of admission to a hospital and manifest 48 hours after hospital admission. The specific factors contributing to the risk of infection during hospitalization remain unclear. Nosocomial infections are a growing public health threat that increases patient morbidity and mortality. Nosocomial infections (NIs) could lead to considerably longer length of the hospital stays and higher costs. Besides, the unreasonable use of antibiotics could lead to development resistance to different antibiotics and create limited therapeutic options, increased risks of treatment failure and poor patient management. These infections are a serious public health problem affecting both developed and developing countries. This study aimed to investigate the current status and changing trend of NI in various parts of the world, to provide a reference for the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections.
非医院感染（NI）或医护相关感染（HAI）是指入院时不存在、入院 48 小时后才出现的感染。导致住院期间感染风险的具体因素仍不清楚。非医院感染是一个日益严重的公共卫生威胁，会增加患者的发病率和死亡率。非医院感染（NIs）会导致住院时间大大延长，费用也会增加。此外，不合理使用抗生素会导致对不同抗生素产生抗药性，造成治疗选择有限、治疗失败风险增加和病人管理不善。这些感染是影响发达国家和发展中国家的严重公共卫生问题。本研究旨在调查世界各地 NI 的现状和变化趋势，为预防和控制医疗相关感染提供参考。

This study aimed at obtaining an in-depth understanding of masculinities which act as barriers to performing the direct observable therapy (DOT) on the expected sick role behaviours among men who were diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis in Zambian compounds. The article identifies masculinities that act as gendered barriers to tuberculosis patients. It explores masculine gendered actions situated in an impoverished household. Of concern is considering both the situational aspects of gender and failure to honour the expected sick role behaviours. To do this the article used the Talcott Parson’s sick role theory whereby the behaviours, rights and responsibilities of a patient deviates from societal norms because of their disease or disorder” (DeLaune et al., 2019). Methodologically, a maximum variation sampling design was used to enlist 59 respondents. In-depth interviews were conducted with men anchored on Charmaz’s modified constructivist grounded theory informing the article. The argument in this article is that six categories of masculinities influenced deviant behaviour and accounted for reasons why and how men fail to fulfil the expected tuberculosis sick role behaviour. These categories found were: not being in control of the situation, hyper masculinity, resistance to recommended practices, masculinity stereotype threat, breadwinner and gender identities. A much closer look at the explored six categories of masculinities that effectuate deviant behaviour, the article asserts that gendered interventions are possible to neutralise sick-role behaviour among tuberculosis male patients.
本研究旨在深入了解在赞比亚大院里被诊断出患有肺结核的男性患者中，阻碍他们按照预期的病人角色行为进行直接观察治疗（DOT）的男性特征。文章指出了作为肺结核患者性别障碍的男性特征。文章探讨了贫困家庭中男性的性别行为。值得关注的是，既要考虑性别的情境方面，也要考虑未能履行预期的病人角色行为。为此，文章采用了塔尔科特-帕森（Talcott Parson）的病人角色理论，即病人的行为、权利和责任因其疾病或失调而偏离社会规范"（DeLaune et al.在方法上，我们采用了最大变异抽样设计，招募了 59 名受访者。以查尔马兹的修正建构主义基础理论为基础，对男性进行了深入访谈，为文章提供了信息。本文的论点是，六类男性气质影响了偏差行为，并解释了男性为何以及如何未能履行预期的结核病患者角色行为。这些类别分别是：无法掌控局势、超男子气概、抵制推荐做法、男子气概刻板印象威胁、养家糊口者和性别认同。通过对导致偏差行为的六类大男子主义进行更深入的研究，文章认为，性别干预措施有可能中和男性结核病患者的病态角色行为。

The development of social media, e-commerce platforms, and online advertising technology has opened new opportunities and transformed the way companies interact with consumers. Digital marketing has evolved beyond being merely a promotional tool; it also significantly influences overall purchasing decisions. This research aims to examine the impact of digital marketing content on purchase intention, mediated by the variable of trust. The study's population consists of individuals who have viewed Erigo's marketing content. Using a non-probability sampling method to determine the sample size, 100 respondents were selected. As a quantitative study, primary data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires using Google Forms. The data were analyzed descriptively using SEM PLS software. The research findings indicate that digital marketing content influences trust, trust affects purchase intention, and digital marketing content does not directly impact purchase intention. This signifies that trust, as a mediating variable, plays a crucial role in the relationship between these variables.
社交媒体、电子商务平台和在线广告技术的发展带来了新的机遇，也改变了企业与消费者互动的方式。数字营销已不仅仅是一种促销工具，它还对整体购买决策产生了重大影响。本研究旨在探讨数字营销内容对购买意向的影响，并以信任变量为中介。研究对象包括浏览过 Erigo 营销内容的个人。采用非概率抽样方法确定样本量，共选出 100 名受访者。作为一项定量研究，主要数据是通过使用谷歌表格发放问卷收集的。使用 SEM PLS 软件对数据进行了描述性分析。研究结果表明，数字营销内容影响信任，信任影响购买意向，而数字营销内容并不直接影响购买意向。这表明，信任作为一个中介变量，在这些变量之间的关系中起着至关重要的作用。

This signifies that trust, as a mediating variable, plays a crucial role in the relationship between these variables.","PeriodicalId":517256,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Multidisciplinary Research and Studies","volume":" 45","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140387995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background Osmotic agents like mannitol and hypertonic saline are the mainstay of management of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) along with non-pharmacological measures like head elevation, hyperventilation, and hypothermia and CSF drainage. Several recent studies have shown hypertonic saline relatively superior to mannitol however, both are being used commonly. So, this study was done to compare the efficacy of mannitol and hypertonic saline in management of raised ICP in children. Methods This was a prospective randomized comparative study done among 40 children aged 1-5 years admitted in department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, BPKIHS, Dharan with clinical signs and symptoms of raised ICP They were divided into two groups based on consecutive sampling with group 1 receiving 20% mannitol and group 2 receiving 3% hypertonic saline. Results Both the groups were comparable for age distribution, gender and baseline characteristics. Pretreatment mean MAP was higher in group 2 as compared to group 1 while decrease in MAP was present in both groups at 24, 36-, 48-, 56- and 60-hours post-treatment; however, this was not statistically significant. 78.9% cases improved with mannitol while 90.5% improved with 3% hypertonic saline but this was not statistically significant. Conclusion Hypertonic saline can be an equally effective agent for management of raised ICP in children but larger and multi-centric study may help in determining which one is better.
