Implementation of the Digital Sales Channel in the Coatings Industry

The development process in the coatings industry can be shortened by digital transformation, and its costs can be reduced using a technical enabler. However, formulators need up-to-date and comprehensive data on existing and potential ingredients to develop the formulation. We were curious about how to supply formulators with data. The idea was that suppliers of ingredients provide data using the “common enabling technology”. We hypothesize that direct data entry compensates suppliers because they can shorten the sales process and increase sales. We used a survey to select key sales channels in the industry. Detailed process models were designed using structured interviews. We analyzed models using structural and operational indicators. Finally, we formed a new digital sales process and verified it. The results show that the digitally formatted sales process can be shortened by up to 32%. Simultaneously, more potential customers can be accessed using the common technology. Existing sales channels would not be closed down. Nevertheless, the digital sales channel is expected to prove its worth over time and gradually increase its share. The suppliers of ingredients can thus avoid a radical process transformation and the immediate integration of additional information technology into the company information system in such an evolutionary way.
Study of stress, anxiety, depression and coping strategies among nursing students in a tertiary care teaching hospital, South India

Background: Nursing students are at extremely high risk for experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression due to their varied circumstances. Indian studies has revealed, moderate stress among 77-82% of nursing students. The better the nursing students can manage their stress and anxiety and adopt healthy coping strategy, the more successful they can be in their clinical training and academic performance. Objective of the current study was to estimate the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among the BSc nursing students and its association with socio-demographic and academic factors and to find the coping strategies adopted by them.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 149BSc nursing students in a teaching hospital in Hyderabad. The data was collected by pre-validated questionnaire with 3 parts. Part I: socio-demographic and academic parameters, part II: psychological information (DASS-21) and part III: coping strategies (brief COPE). Data was analysed using SPSS version 24.The percentages of stress, anxiety and depression was found and categorised to mild, moderate, severe and extremely severe and associations analyzed with Chi-square test. The mean score and percentages were calculated for coping strategies.Results: The mean age of nursing students was 20±1.6 years. The proportion having depression, anxiety and stress were 67.7%, 85.3% and 46.9% respectively. The coping strategies ‘used a lot’ were spirituality (43.6%), Information support (30.9%) and active coping (28.2%). The study showed depression (p=0.05) and stress (p=0.002) to be higher among 2nd and 4th year students. Lack of leisure time (p=0.036) and difficulty in academics (p= 0.017) were identified as stressors.Conclusions: This study noted high levels of psychological disturbances among nursing students. There is urgent need to plan stress management programmes with peer instructors, mentorship, more leisure and outdoor learning activities.
Sustainability Features of Jeddah Traditional Housing

Sustainability is clearly represented in Jeddah old city where traditional builders have developed unique practices that promote environmental, social and economic qualities. The urban form and buildings proved efficiency towards the conservative society, the pattern of life and the prevailing hot-humid climate. The open space system, characterized by narrow walkways and wider intersections, provided shaded and ventilated places for walking and communicating. Houses were configured according to social traditions that imply the separation between private and public life. Walls were constructed of locally coral stone blocks known by its thermal insulation ability, then finished with white color which acts on reflecting sunlight and reduces the heat absorption. Large wooden latticed windows admit daylight but control heating and ventilation, while providing privacy for the family. Moreover, rainwater was collected and stored in basement reservoirs. However, attempts to record these manifestations of sustainability have always been subjective. Therefore, based on long experience of academic work in relation to historic Jeddah, the present chapter intends to reintroduce previous knowledge but supported by evidence whenever possible hoping that it can help formulating guidelines for effective and sustainable alternatives. This is of great benefit to current professionals.
Supply chain social responsibility in labour- intensive industries: a practitioner’s perspective

Abstract Social responsibility in labour-intensive industries of developing countries is always a controversial issue among academics and practitioners. Although several studies have conceptualised or empirically examined social responsibility in developing countries, there is limited research that investigates social responsibility issues spanning the entire manufacturing supply chain. Using stakeholder and Resource-Based View (RBV) theory, this study examines the barriers, enablers, motivations, and the current social responsibility facts of the garment and textile industry from knitting suppliers to apparel or garment manufacturer to fashion retailers in the Vietnamese context. The exploratory research design was used through content analysis, panel discussion, and in-depth interview. Our results show that most of the companies have not implemented any significant policies to promote social responsibility but only to adhere to labour law. Since managers realise the crucial social responsibility role in the performance of their operation, merchandisers and intermediaries have a compelling role in improving their social responsibility, and the role of government and NGOs seems to be faded. We also provide the managerial implications and directions for future research.
Experimental Cyber Attack Detection Framework

Digital security plays an ever-increasing, crucial role in today’s information-based society. The variety of threats and attack patterns has dramatically increased with the advent of digital transformation in our lives. Researchers in both public and private sectors have tried to identify new means to counteract these threats, seeking out-of-the-box ideas and novel approaches. Amongst these, data analytics and artificial intelligence/machine learning tools seem to gain new ground in digital defence. However, such instruments are used mainly offline with the purpose of auditing existing IDS/IDPS solutions. We submit a novel concept for integrating machine learning and analytical tools into a live intrusion detection and prevention solution. This approach is named the Experimental Cyber Attack Detection Framework (ECAD). The purpose of this framework is to facilitate research of on-the-fly security applications. By integrating offline results in real-time traffic analysis, we could determine the type of network access as a legitimate or attack pattern, and discard/drop the latter. The results are promising and show the benefits of such a tool in the early prevention stages of both known and unknown cyber-attack patterns.

In this paper, the performances achieved with CYGNO prototypes and the prospects for the upcoming underground installation at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso of a 50-L detector in fall 2021 will be discussed, together with the plans for a 1-m3 experiment. The synergy with the ERC consolidator, grant project INITIUM, aimed at realising negative ion drift operation within the CYGNO 3D optical approach, will be further illustrated.
Does patellar tilt affect the outcome of total knee arthroplasty? a retrospective study

Background: Patellofemoral joint management during total knee replacement remains a controversial topic among knee surgeons. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of resurfaced patellar component tilt on the functional outcome of total knee arthroplasty.Methods: This is a retrospective study reviewing all the patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty in our institution, operated by a single surgeon using a single implant design.Results: A total of 48 patients and 82 knees were enrolled into this study. Patients were evaluated by Oxford knee score, knee society score, Melbourne patellar score, anteroposterior, lateral, and Merchant’s view radiographs. The patellar tilt was divided into three grades according the measurement obtained from knee radiographs.Conclusions: A higher degree of patella tilt (more than 10 degree) is associated with poor outcome following total knee arthroplasty. Melbourne patella score is more sensitive than knee society score and Oxford score in assessing the effect of patella tilt on the outcome of total knee arthroplasty.
Quantifying isentropic stratosphere‐troposphere exchange of ozone

There is increased evidence that stratosphere‐troposphere exchange (STE) of ozone has a significant impact on tropospheric chemistry and radiation. Traditional diagnostics of STE consider the ozone budget in the lowermost stratosphere (LMS) as a whole. However, this can only render the hemispherically integrated ozone flux and therefore does not distinguish the exchange of ozone into low latitudes from that into high latitudes. The exchange of ozone at different latitudes may have different tropospheric impacts. This present study extends the traditional approach from the entire LMS to individual isentropic layers in the LMS and therefore gives the meridional distribution of STE by the latitudes where each isentropic surface intersects the tropopause. The specified dynamics version of the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model is used to estimate the STE ozone flux on each isentropic surface. It is found that net troposphere‐to‐stratosphere ozone transport occurs in low latitudes along the 350–380 K isentropic surfaces and that net stratosphere‐to‐troposphere ozone transport takes place in the extratropics along the 280–350 K isentropes. Particularly, the seasonal cycle of extratropical STE ozone flux in the Northern Hemisphere displays a maximum in late spring and early summer, following the seasonal migration of the upper tropospheric jet and associated isentropic mixing. Furthermore, differential diabatic heating and isentropic mixing tend to induce STE ozone fluxes in opposite directions, but the net effect results in a spatiotemporal pattern similar to the STE ozone flux associated with isentropic mixing.
PH-GCN: Person Retrieval With Part-Based Hierarchical Graph Convolutional Network

Compact feature representation of person image is important for person re-identification (Re-ID) task. Recently, part-based representation models have been widely studied for extracting the more compact and robust feature representation for person image to improve person Re-ID results. However, existing part-based representation models mostly extract the features of different parts independently which ignore the spatial relationship information among different parts. To address this issue, in this paper we propose a novel deep learning framework, named Part-based Hierarchical Graph Convolutional Network (PH-GCN) for person Re-ID problem. Given a person image, PH-GCN first constructs a hierarchical graph to represent the spatial relationships among different parts. Then, both local and global feature learning is achieved by the feature information passing in PH-GCN, which takes the information of other parts into account for part feature representation. Finally, a perceptron layer is adopted for the final person part label prediction and re-identification. The proposed framework provides a general solution that integrates local, global and structural feature learning simultaneously in a unified end-to-end network representation and learning. Extensive experiments on several widely used benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and benefits of the proposed PH-GCN approach for person Re-ID task.
Assessment of Biological Literacy Levels Among Third-Grade Secondary School Students in Medina

This research aims to assess the levels of biological literacy (nominal, functional, structural, and multi-dimensional) among students of the third grade of scientific secondary school in Medina. To achieve the objectives of the research, the researcher used the descriptive and analytical method, and a sample of (340) students was selected by the random cluster method. A scale was prepared in the light of Project (2061) Vision, and the Uno and Bybee model (Uno & Bybee, 1994) to assess students’ ability to identify biological concepts (nominal literacy), define some biological concepts (functional literacy), and understand biological diagrams (structural literacy), and measuring some students’ skills on understanding a short biological text (multi-dimensional literacy). The results reflected a high level of nominal literacy and a low level of multi-dimensional literacy. The results also showed that the students possessed the functional level and the structural level. The study recommends that biology teachers use effective teaching methods that enable them to present biological knowledge in the form of social issues and problems related to technology and other sciences.

Temperature and multiple parasites combine to alter host community structure

Predicting the effects of climate change requires understanding complex interactions among multiple abiotic and biotic factors. By influencing key interactions among host species, parasites can affect community and ecosystem structuring. Yet, our understanding of how multiple parasites and abiotic factors interact to alter ecosystem structure remains limited. To empirically test the role of temperature variation and parasites in shaping communities, we used a multigenerational mesocosm experiment composed of four sympatric freshwater crustacean species (isopods and amphipods) that share up to four parasite species. Mesocosms were assigned to one of four different treatments with contrasting seasonal temperatures (normal and elevated) and parasite exposure levels (continuous and arrested (presence or absence of parasite larvae in mesocosm)). We found that parasite exposure and water temperature had interactive effects on the host community. Continuous exposure to parasites altered the community structure and differences in water temperature altered species abundance. The abundance of the amphipod Paracalliope fluviatilis decreased substantially when experiencing continuous parasite exposure and elevated water temperatures. Elevated temperatures also led to parasite-induced mortality in another amphipod host, Paracorophium excavatum . Contrastingly, isopod hosts were affected much less, suggesting increasing temperatures in conjunction with higher parasite exposure might increase their relative abundance in the community. Changes in invertebrate host populations have implications for other species such as fish and birds that consume crustaceans as well as having impacts on ecosystem processes, such as aquatic primary production and nutrient cycling. In light of climate change predictions, parasite exposure and rise in average temperatures may have substantial impacts on communities and ecosystems, altering ecosystem structure
Liquid–Liquid Extraction of Actinides from Nitric Acid Feeds Using Two Hexa-n-alkylnitrilotriacetamides

ABSTRACT Solutions of two nitrilotriacetamide (NTA) ligands, viz., N,N,N’,N’,N”,N”-hexa-n-butylnitrilotriacetamide (HBNTA) and N,N,N’,N’,N”,N”-hexa-n-hexylnitrilotriacetamide (HHNTA) in 20% isodecanol–80% n-dodecane were employed for the extraction of U(VI), Np(IV), Pu(IV), and Am(III) from nitric acid feed solutions. Limitations of ligand solubility and third-phase formation when contacted with nitric acid solutions led to the choice of the diluent composition of 20% isodecanol and 80% n-dodecane. The results of the solvent extraction studies indicated poor extraction of the metal ions with HBNTA as compared to that with HHNTA as the extractant and hence, major part of this work involved HHNTA. Slope analysis suggested extraction of 1:1 (ML) species with Np(IV) and Pu(IV) at 3 M HNO3 and mixed 1:2 (ML2) and 1:3 (ML3) species with U(VI) at pH 2. At 0.5 M HNO3, the observed trend for extraction was Pu(IV) > Np(IV) >> Am(III) > U(VI).
Evaluation of Turkish Validity and Reliability of Knowledge, Attitude, Practice and Perceived Barriers in Infection Control Questionnaire among Emergency Healthcare Professionals regarding COVID-19

Objective: Determination of deficiencies in knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP) and perceived barriers in infection control among healthcare professionals (HCP) is important for fighting against epidemics. This study aims to conduct Turkish validity and reliability of the "KAP and Perceived Barriers in Infection Control" among HCP and to evaluate the study group. Methods: This is a methodological, cross-sectional study conducted among emergency HCP during the 12-24th week of the pandemic. The questionnaire was applied online and consisted of sociodemographic characteristics, COVID-19 KAP and perceived barriers in infection control questionnaire. In first stage of the study, to evaluate the Turkish reliability-validity of the questionnaire, this study was conducted among 177 HCP. In the second stage, it was aimed to reach the whole group which was consisted of 307 (73.1%) HCP. Results: The Cronbach's alpha values of the sub-dimensions were calculated as 0.68-0.90 and factor loads as 0.38-0.88. Knowledge level of those with associate and higher degree was found to be superior. Those who had university or higher education degree, paramedics indicated more positive attitude. It was observed that female compared to male, emergency medical technicians compared to other occupational groups had better practice level. Moreover, those who had an associate or higher degree; those who had 6-10 years working experience; those who did not experience COVID-19 symptoms had better practice level (p<0.05). Conclusions: The questionnaire is a valid-reliable measurement tool. In Turkey, it was observed that HCP had better knowledge and practice than average however deficiencies were found in all sub-dimensions.
