Embodied knowledge in customer experience: reflections on yoga

ABSTRACT This article focuses on embodied knowledge in customer experience. The study draws from literature on embodiment within sociology, consumption, organizational, and management studies, where the active and skillful role of the human body is acknowledged. Based on an autoethnographic study of online and offline yoga services, I identify five dimensions representing how the knowing body enables customer experiences to evolve: knowing the body as situational, physical, social, affective, and transformative. The embodied approach advances current customer-dominant logic studies within service research by highlighting how the active, holistic involvement of the human body allows the customer to engage in the experience.
How death anxiety influences coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic: investigating the role of spirituality, national identity, lockdown and trust

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has created a highly stressful environment in which reminders of death are constant. This context of permanent mortality salience is likely to arouse death anxiety in individuals around the world that they must manage. This study investigates the effects of death anxiety on the adoption of different coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic in five different countries (N = 721, mean age = 32.83). The results show that higher levels of death anxiety mainly lead to the adoption of avoidance coping strategies and that spirituality and national identity moderate this effect, whereas lockdown does not. Moreover, trust in institutions is a mediator in the relationship between death anxiety and avoidance strategies.
Are Clinical BERT Models Privacy Preserving? The Difficulty of Extracting Patient-Condition Associations

Language models may be trained on data that contain personal information, such as clinical data. Such sensitive data must not leak for privacy reasons. This article explores whether BERT models trained on clinical data are susceptible to training data extraction attacks. Multiple large sets of sentences generated from the model with top-k sampling and nucleus sampling are studied. The sentences are examined to determine the degree to which they contain information associating patients with their conditions. The sentence sets are then compared to determine if there is a correlation between the degree of privacy leaked and the linguistic quality attained by each generation technique. We ﬁnd that the relationship between linguistic quality and privacy leakage is weak and that the risk of a successful training data extraction attack on a BERT-based model is small.
The Outcome of Cervical Spine Injury Associated with Traumatic Brain Injuries: Tertiary Care Hospital Study

Objective: Outcome of cervical spine injury associated with traumatic brain injuries. Materials & Methods: This study is a cross-sectional descriptive study that was performed at the Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre, Karachi. 158 total patients were included in the study, this study by non-probability consecutive sampling. The diagnosis was based primarily on a CT scan brain plain and an x-ray of the cervical spine of all the patients who were admitted to the ward. Results: Among 158, the age distribution of the patient was observed as 43(27%)patients presented as less than 20 years, 32(20%) were between the age of 21-30 years range, 28(18%) patients were ranged between 31-40 years, 16(10%) patients aged in a range of 41-50 years while 39(25%) were above 50 years. Head injury severity was observed at 47% as mild head injury, 32% as moderate injury and 21% had a severe head injury while cervical injury in association with traumatic brain injury was found in 10% of patients. Conclusion: The prevalence of cervical traumatic injury associated with moderate to severe head injury remained similar in the world overall with minute differences in the percentages that we have noticed in our study. The severity of the head injury is directly proportional to cervical injury. Original Research Article Hassan et al.; JPRI, 33(60A): 763-768, 2021; Article no.JPRI. 78746 764
Determinants of the US Cross-Border Bank Lending to the ASEAN-5 Economies

Abstract— Finance and bank liberalization have been being empirical debating in recent decades which focused on the benefit and cost. One of the products of financial liberalization is the international bank lending as intermediation of the global bank that flows from a developed country to the emerging market economies. This paper analyzes determinants of the international bank lending from the United States as a home country to the five Southeast Asian emerging market economies as host counties. The empirical framework based on the system-GMM revealed a high impact of push and pull macroeconomic factor variables to the dynamic of crossborder bank lending. The growth rate of the home and host countries shown as the most significant variables. Surprisingly, the interaction of the global banks’ exposure and the US growth rate indicated the reaction of shock in the US economy which dominantly affects the dynamic of the US international bank intermediation have transmitted the global shock to the ASEAN-5 economies.
Subject Granular Differential Privacy in Federated Learning

This paper considers subject level privacy in the FL setting, where a subject is an individual whose private information is embodied by several data items either confined within a single federation user or distributed across multiple federation users. We propose two new algorithms that enforce subject level DP at each federation user locally. Our first algorithm, called LocalGroupDP, is a straightforward application of group differential privacy in the popular DP-SGD algorithm. Our second algorithm is based on a novel idea of hierarchical gradient averaging (HiGradAvgDP) for subjects participating in a training mini-batch. We also show that user level Local Differential Privacy (LDP) naturally guarantees subject level DP. We observe the problem of horizontal composition of subject level privacy loss in FL - subject level privacy loss incurred at individual users composes across the federation. We formally prove the subject level DP guarantee for our algorithms, and also show their effect on model utility loss. Our empirical evaluation on FEMNIST and Shakespeare datasets shows that LocalGroupDP delivers the best performance among our algorithms. However, its model utility lags behind that of models trained using a DP-SGD based algorithm that provides a weaker item level privacy guarantee. Privacy loss amplification due to subject sampling fractions and horizontal composition remain key challenges for model utility.
The impact of an updated 14N(p, γ)15O reaction rate on advanced evolutionary stages of low-mass stellar models

We investigate the impact of the 14N(p, γ)15O reaction rate as redetermined by the LUNA experiment, on the shell H-burning and core He-burning phases of low-mass, metal-poor stellar models. The new reaction rate has small but noticeable effects, the largest one being a ∼7−8% reduction in the red giant branch lifetimes. To different degrees, the lifetimes and luminosities of horizontal branch models, the mass of the stellar models evolving within the RR Lyrae instability strip, the luminosity of the red giant branch luminosity function bump, the theoretical calibrations of the R-parameter, and the tip of the red giant branch luminosity are also affected. Predictions for the tip of the red giant branch luminosity, in particular, are in very good agreement with the currently available empirical constraints.

Enthusiasm to Acceptance of SARS _ COV _ 2 Vaccine among Health Care Workers in Oromia Regional State , Ethiopia . An Online Based Cross-Sectional Study , 2021

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue to impose enormous burdens of morbidity and mortality while severely disrupting societies and economies worldwide. Vaccines are a key strategy to stop the escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccines are the effective way to control and prevent a several diseases, save lives, and reducing current health emergency, as well as increasing the immunity of the population. Objective: To find out eagerness to acceptance of SARS-COV-2 vaccine among health care workers in Oromia regional state, Ethiopia: An online-based cross-sectional study Methods: An online based cross sectional study design was carried out from April 13/2021 to September 12/2021. Data was collected through employing online questioner, and then the collected data were coded and analyzed by statistical packages for social sciences 25.0 version statistical software. The statistical significance was set at a p-value ≤0.05. Findings: The current study revealed that 178(42.2%) of health care workers intended to receive the SARS-COV-2 vaccines. The results of this study showed that the majority of participants don’t believe that SARS-COV-2 vaccine is effective and safe (n=279.66.1%),and couldn’t save lives (n=228,54.1%). Factors such as age group >55(AOR:2.75;95%CI: 1.092-5.472;P=0.008),Male(AOR:1.86; 95%CI: 1.243-2.796;P=0.003),nurses (AOR: 2.17;95%CI:0.6215.087;P=0.0094) and midwives (AOR:2.521;95%CI:2.497-8.24; P=0.0002),married (AOR:1.74;95%CI: 0.218-4.530;P=0.006), health care workers who had contact with COVID -19 patient were twice as likely to accept the vaccine (AOR:1.93;95%CI: 1.3603.784;P=0.0001) and health care workers who indicated that they had more serious medical condition (AOR:2.61;95%CI:0.981-3.618;P=0.007) proved to be significant predictors of the acceptability of the COVID-19 vaccine. Factors such as taking vitamin C(AOR:1.624;95%CI:0.945-2.596;P=0.0003), poor safety of vaccines (AOR: 7.041;95%CI:3.69213.375;P=0.000),those believe effective medicine avail for treating COVID-19 (AOR:2.16;95%CI:1.596-3.485; P=0.0076), no adequate trials about COVID-19 (AOR:7.041;95%CI:3.692-13.375;P=0.000),and unwanted side effects of the vaccines (AOR: 3.422;95%CI:1.448-8.096;P=0.005) were identified as indicators why health care workers would decline uptake of COVID-19 vaccines. Conclusion and recommendation: This survey revealed that the eagerness to acceptance of covid-19 vaccine among health care workers in Oromia regional state was somewhat meager. Nurses and Midwives were more likely to accept the SARS-COV-2vaccines than others health care workers. Oromia health bureau should have to give training about SARS-COV-2vaccine to all health care workers to strengthen SARS-CoV-2 vaccine acceptance.

Charles Darwin University Health education through a campaign and mHealth to enhance knowledge and quality of life among patients with chronic kidney disease in Bangladesh Protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Background: Despite the growing burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD), disease knowledge and understanding are still lacking, especially in Bangladesh. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of a health education intervention in order to enhance knowledge, health-related quality of life (QOL), and motivation regarding healthy lifestyles among rural and periurban adults suffering from CKD. Methods: A parallel-group (1:1) randomized controlled trial is ongoing in the Mirzapur subdistrict, Bangladesh, where two groups of patients with CKD are being compared. Patients aged 18 years and over with CKD (stages 1-3) were enrolled in November 2020. Patients were randomly allocated into either the intervention group (n=63) or the control group (n=63). The control group received usual treatment, while the intervention group received health education through a CKD campaign facilitated by a nephrologist and via mHealth (ie, periodic mobile phone calls) from community health workers. Both groups were followed up for a period of 6 months. The primary endpoint is patients’ increased knowledge measured using the Chronic Kidney Disease Knowledge Questionnaire. The secondary endpoints are improved QOL measured using the standardized EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire as well as improvements in the levels of blood pressure, BMI, serum creatinine, fasting blood sugar, hemoglobin, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, serum uric acid, blood urea nitrogen, and albumin to creatinine ratio. Results: Enrollment of participants began in November 2020; the intervention and follow-up were completed in May 2021. We enrolled 126 patients in the study. Patients’ mean ages were 57.97 (SD 15.03) years in the control group and 57.32 (SD 14.37) years in the intervention group. There were 45 out of 63 (71%) females in the control group and 38 out of 63 (60%) females in the intervention group. In addition, there were 38 out of 63 (60%) literate patients in the control group and 33 out of 63 (52%) literate patients in the intervention group.

Inmates’ Knowledge, Perceptions, and Preferences: Evidence from Czech Prisons∗

Crime and recidivism impose large and preventable costs on the society. To test current major theories of causes of criminal behavior in a unified framework, we carried out a unique data collection of prison inmates’ and college students’ knowledge, perceptions, and preferences related to Becker’s theory of a rational criminal, counter-culture identity formation, procedural justice, excessive risk-taking, and optimism bias. Our results show that inmates and students differ in almost all dimensions studied. We find that inmates as compared to students a) view the parameters of the criminal justice system as more strict; b) are more generous with other people; c) trust others less; d) declared lower trust in public institutions, especially towards the criminal justice system; e) are more risk averse; f) are more optimistic about position of just released inmates in society. ∗We thank Dr. Václav Jǐrička and genmjr.

Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone: A Systemic Functional Analysis

Gender-stereotyped roles of female and male characters are common in literature. Seeing that Harry Potter series has gained much popularity especially among children and teenagers, this qualitative paper attempts to investigate to what extent the author, Rowling (1997), confirms or challenges the gender stereotypes in the portrayal of the main male and female characters through her lexical (words) and grammatical (nouns, verbs, adjective and adverbs) choices. Halliday’s transitivity system is used to examine the lexis and structures that Rowling chose to describe the characters in her novel. Several scenes which contain descriptions about the main male and female characters were analyzed. Analysis of the excerpts from the novel showed that both the male and female main characters are portrayed with either feminine or masculine roles.
Online learning in the Jordanian kindergartens during Covid-19 pandemic

This study aims to investigate the level of utilization of online learning in kindergartens in Jordan during the covid-19 pandemic from the teachers’ point of view. The study sample consists of 225 female teachers from both public and private schools in Jordan. To collect data, a survey was developed and implemented to the study sample after obtaining its validity and reliability. The survey intended to measure three dimensions (teaching, communication, and technological competencies). The results have shown that the mean scores of the level of utilization of online learning in kindergartens during the covid-19 pandemic from a teachers’ point of view were moderate and it also showed statistical differences in the level of utilization of online learning attributed to the type of school in favor of private schools. A correlation between the number of years of expertise and both academic qualification and private education was also noticed.
Nutritional enhancement of extruded snacks by incorporation of oat and soybean flour

The present investigation was carried out to assess the suitability of different ingredients in development of extruded snack food and to observe the effect of different ingredients on the sensorial and nutritional properties of prepared snack. The studies were focused on standardizing the concentration of different ingredients to a level of acceptable quality. The multigrain extruded snacks were prepared by 50% chickpea flour and varying concentration of rice flour (50-10%) and oat and soybean flour (10-20%). The results revealed that the extruded snacks prepared from composite flour (Chickpea, Oat, Soybean and Rice flour in the ratios of 50: 10: 10: 30) was found to be more acceptable with respect to mentioned sensorial quality parameters and incorporation of oat and soybean flour in the snack food increased its nutritional value.
