An approach to website design for Turkish universities, based on the emotional responses of students

Abstract In this age of advanced technology, every university has a website to endorse their programs and encourage students around the world to join one of their faculties. However, universities give less attention to meet the users’ demands for visually attractive websites that satisfy their emotions. This study proposes a Kansei Engineering approach based on human emotion to identify elements of website design that are emotionally appealing to 18–37 year-old students in Turkish universities. A total of 22 Kansei words and 9 sample websites of Turkish universities were selected for the study. The sample consisted of 172 students, who were asked to evaluate the selected websites using Kansei words. A five-point semantic differential scale was used to evaluate the relationship between website elements and the Kansei words. The multivariate statistical methods factor analysis and partial least squares regression were used to implement the Kansei approach. The results displayed that Kansei Engineering methodology and multivariate statistical analyses played a key role in designing an attractive website in order to satisfy student’s emotions. It also showed that a pleasant university website should have top menu, small header size, logo on the left side and so on.
Migrant teachers and the negotiation of a (new) teaching identity

ABSTRACT Employment of newly arrived migrants can be seen as one of the key aspects to managing both national labour market needs and the inclusion of individuals in both work and society. In Sweden, efforts to manage recent migration – for example, from Syria – has resulted in various labour market ‘fast tracks’ that aim to facilitate labour market integration. In this article, we consider how individual migrants attempt to negotiate the new national demands of professional identity to become teachers in Sweden by following a Swedish introduction course to teaching. The study builds on qualitative interviews and fieldwork following two different cohorts of students.

EMFIT QS heart rate and respiration rate validation

Objective: The EMFIT QS (Quantified Sleep) is an unobtrusive monitoring device with a state-of-the-art analysis platform that tracks heart (HR) and respiration rate (RR), as well as heart rate variability, in addition to providing a sleep stage estimation and sleep quality analysis. The device consists of a thin ferroelectret sensor that can be placed underneath a bed mattress and sleep analysis can be overviewed conveniently from the EMFIT QS web interface. With this kind of sensitive and contactless sensor subject’s vital signs can be easily monitored without discomfort. Approach: We compared the EMFIT QS HR and RR to those evaluated from the electrocardiogram (ECG) and respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) of 33 patients measured in an overnight polysomnography. The Bland-Altman analysis was used for comparison and ±6 heart beats per minute (bpm) and ±4 respiration cycles per minute (rpm) were considered to be acceptable differences. Main results: The 95% limits of agreement (LoA) for the heart rate are −4.4 (CI95%: [−5.8, −4.2]) and 4.4 (CI95%: [4.3, 5.9]) bpm, whereas the respiration rate LoA are −2.5 (CI95%: [−2.8, −2.4]) and 2.2 (CI95%: [2.1, 2.5]) rpm. Significance: The EMFIT QS measures reliably heart and respiration rate. It can be readily deployed for vital monitoring when a subject is lying in bed e.g. when tracking athletes’ night-time recovery or consumers’ well-being. It also has potential in telemedicine applications.
Management of Data in Higher Education and the Quality of Academic Research of University Lecturers: A Case Study in South-South Nigeria

Diversity of endophytic and rhizosphere bacteria from pineapple (Ananas comosus) plant in semi-arid ecosystem

Abstract. Putrie RFW, Aryantha INP, Iriawati, Antonius S. 2020. Diversity of endophytic and rhizosphere bacteria from pineapple (Ananas comosus) plant in semi-arid ecosystem. Biodiversitas 21: 3084-3093. The natural environment majorly influences plant microbiome diversity, in terms of endophytic and rhizobacteria. Pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merr) has been identified as one of host plants with a capacity to grow in semiarid ecosystems. The intrinsic microbial symbiont composition is recognized in a specific ecological niche. The scientific information available is limited to the inoculants' ability to reduce plant stress, although the diversity in a semiarid ecosystem has not been studied. The aim of this research is to investigate the diversity of endophytic and rhizosphere bacteria obtained from pineapple in a semiarid ecosystem. A total of 117 culturable microbial isolates, dominated by Gram-positive bacteria were obtained from pineapple (88) and rhizosphere (29). The metagenomic analysis showed higher diversity and abundance in rhizospheres compared to the endophytes. Actinobacterium was identified as the most populated colony, while Proteobacterium was more prominent in the host plant. The Bacillus genera were recognized as the dominant symbiont genus. Therefore, the culturable isolates were further developed as candidate inoculants for microbe databases. This is expected to be useful in broadening theoretical knowledge.
Microplastics in the marine environment: a literature review and northeast England case study

The issue of microplastic pollution has seen an increasing focus over the last decade, both as a scientific research topic and due to intensive media interest. Despite this, there has been, until recently, a relative paucity of data relating to the volume and type of microplastics in the marine environment. The Cell 1 Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme, which covers approximately 300 km of the northeast England coastline, has recently collected subtidal sediment samples from the bed of the North Sea and analysed these for particle size distribution and microplastic content. This paper presents the results of this analysis along with a literature review of the sources, movements and concentration of microplastics in the marine environment.
Visuomotor Adaptation is a Disturbance Rejection Problem

This paper shows that visuomotor adaptation can be cast as a disturbance rejection problem. We begin by formalizing experimentally observed dynamic properties of adaptation in terms of the transient response of a stable linear system, and we discuss implications on the validity of classes of models. Next, we solve the visuomotor adaptation problem by invoking adaptive internal models. A theoretical result on stability is obtained using averaging theory. Simulations applied to a visuomotor rotation experiment with fast arm reaches show that the dynamic properties of adaptation are recovered using the model.
Impact of Re-Enactment Based Crime Shows of Pakistani Private Channels on Youth

This is a survey based study that investigates the impact of reenactment based crime shows on youth. The study is conducted in educational institutions of South Punjab (Pakistan). a sample of 100 respondent was collected through distribution of the questionnaire and their response was analyzed. The results were analyzed by using five variables namely: Violence, Language, Seduction, Instigation and Fear. It was interesting to find that many of the youth consider some sort of violence and foul language justified in the given situation of the reenactment show. A significant number of youth found the use of alcohol and smoking inappropriate and use of lie in given situation unacceptable. There was a significant number of youth respondents who found the display of love, romance, flirt, prostitution, physical relations and rape seducing, in different scenes of reenactment crime shows. There were some youth viewers who felt the society unsafe for them or others after watching violence and crimes in the reenactment shows.
The relationship of domestic institutional investors and India stock market returns: An ARDL bound testing approach

Abstract Purpose This study explores the relationship of investment done by domestic institutional investors (DII) and stock market returns. The paper covers a bigger definition of DII’s, bifurcating them into four categories, (a) mutual fund, (b) venture capital fund, (c) financial institutions and (d) insurance companies who have invested in national stock exchange of India. Design/Methodology The study uses CNX Nifty 50 to represent the stock market of India. ARDL bound testing cointegration model is applied to find the relationship between the Dependent variable (nifty 50) and Independent variables (mutual fund, venture capital fund, Indian financial institution and insurance companies) Practical implication This analysis will help regulatory authorities to improvise on policy making on investment in stock market for insurance companies, financial institution, venture capital fund and mutual fund. The surge in domestic institutional equity inflows, will help to insulate the Indian equity market from the high velocity traders of overseas. Originality/value This is the first study to undertake domestic institutional investors at a disintegrated level.
Empathy and Oxidative Stress in Healthy Adults

Empathy is crucial for normal and effective social functioning, enabling comprehension and prediction of actions in social environments. Despite its importance for maintaining social relationships in human groups, the physiological correlates of empathy are not fully known. The aim of this study was to test whether empathy is related to oxidative stress level, that may result both from internal disturbances and influence of external adverse factors. Seventy-four healthy women (Mage = 26.23, SDage = 2.88) and one hundred and one men (Mage = 28.09, SDage = 3.03) took part in the study. Participants’ empathy was evaluated with self-assessment questionnaire—Empathy Quotient (EQ). Oxidative stress level was measured with serum 8-OH-dG, a product of oxidative DNA damage. The results showed that empathy is negatively related to oxidative stress level in men but not in women, when controlled for testosterone level. Revealed sex differences may be explained by men’s greater vulnerability to various adverse conditions and harmful factors. Men, compared to women, seem to be more susceptible to behavioral changes, induced by increased oxidative stress level. The study adds to growing evidence showing that many physiological mechanisms, other than hormonal factors, that may be also related with environmental harmful factors, are related to behavioral, affective and cognitive phenomena.
Action of peracetic acid on calcium in limed pelt

This work concerns the influence of peracetic acid (CH 3 COOOH) on the removal of calcium compounds and the properties of pelt in deliming. The influence of process conditions such as concentration of peracetic acid, pH of peracetic acid solution, temperature and duration of the process on the removal of calcium, swelling, the amount of collagen and non-collagen proteins was also studied. It was established that treatment of limed pelt using 0.75% peracetic acid (pH of solution 4-4.5) led to a greater de-swelling property and a more quanitative removal of calcium from pelt compared with ammonium sulphate. The effects on the pelt are no stronger than during conventional ammonium sulphate deliming. IR-spectroscopy, DSC and TG analyses prove that treatment by peracetic acid does not affect the supermolecular structure of pelt. The use of peracetic acid entirely eliminates the emission of H 2 S.
Elasticity Solutions for In-Plane Free Vibration of FG-GPLRC Circular Arches with Various End Conditions

In-plane free vibration of functionally graded graphene platelets reinforced nanocomposites (FG-GPLRCs) circular arches is investigated by using the two-dimensional theory of elasticity. The graphene platelets (GPLs) are dispersed along the thickness direction non-uniformly, and the material properties of the nanocomposites are evaluated by the modified Halpin-Tsai multi-scaled model and the rule of mixtures. A state-space method combined with differential quadrature technique is employed to derive the governing equation for in-plane free vibration of FG-GPLRCs circular arch, the semi-analytical solutions are obtained for various end conditions. An exact solution of FG-GPLRCs circular arch with simply-supported ends is also presented as a benchmark to valid the present numerical method. Numerical examples are performed to study the effects of GPL distribution patterns, weight fraction and dimensions, geometric parameters and boundary conditions of the circular arch on the natural frequency in details.
The effects of health counselling and follow-up care on maternal-infant attachment

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of follow-up care and health counselling provided by midwives and nurses in maternal-infant attachment level and relationships between sociodemographic factors. The study was designed as a quasi-experimental pattern with a control group on pretest-posttest. The sample size was determined using a power analysis and a total of 90 people were included in the study. The study demonstrated that the mean PAI score was high both in experimental and control groups and there was no difference between the groups (p > 0.05). In both groups, the mean MAI score was above the average scale score, but it was significantly higher in the group receiving health counselling and follow-up care compared to the score of the other group (p < 0.05). The study demonstrated that health counselling and follow-up care contributed significantly to the mother-infant attachment.
Pars Marginalis and Pars Bracket Sign for Easy and Fast Localization of the Central Sulcus on Axial Brain MRI

Background: Correct identification of the central sulcus and adjacent gyri is essential for localizing tumors and planning effective surgery. With brain lesions central sulcus and surrounding sensory and motor eloquent areas may be obliterated. Central sulcus is the sulcus anterior to the pars marginalis on axial images. Purpose: To evaluate the presence of marginal sulcus in axial cuts brain MRI among Sudanese population and to use it as land mark for central sulcus localization. Methodology: The study included 100 normal MRI of both sex of adult age group. The pars marginalis and pars bracket sign was assessed and the direct relation to the central sulcus was observed.

No significant difference was observed between males and females. Conclusion: Pars bracket sign was proved to be a reliable and quite effective signs to localize the central sulcus.
State of the art: percutaneous tracheostomy in the intensive care unit

Percutaneous tracheostomy is a commonly performed procedure for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and offers many benefits, including decreasing ICU length of stay and need for sedation while improving patient comfort, effective communication, and airway clearance. However, there is no consensus on the optimal timing of tracheostomy in ICU patients. Ultrasound (US) and bronchoscopy are useful adjunct tools to optimize procedural performance. US can be used pre-procedurally to identify vascular structures and to select the optimal puncture site, intra-procedurally to assist with accurate placement of the introducer needle, and post-procedurally to evaluate for a pneumothorax. Bronchoscopy provides real-time visual guidance from within the tracheal lumen and can reduce complications, such as paratracheal puncture and injury to the posterior tracheal wall. A step-by-step detailed procedural guide, including preparation and procedural technique, is provided with a team-based approach. Technical aspects, such as recommended equipment and selection of appropriate tracheostomy tube type and size, are discussed. Certain procedural considerations to minimize the risk of complications should be given in circumstances of patient obesity, coagulopathy, or neurologic illness. Herein, we provide a practical state of the art review of percutaneous tracheostomy in ICU patients. Specifically, we will address pre-procedural preparation, procedural technique, and post-tracheostomy management.
