THE RELATIONSHIP OF MUSICAL SELF-EFFICACY AND MUSIC PERFORMANCE ANXIETY DURING THE EXAMINATION SITUATION WITH MUSICAL ACHIEVEMENT OF MUSIC UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between musical self-efficacy and music performance anxiety during the examination situation with musical achievement of undergraduate students in Assumption University School of Music. The participants of this study were 68 undergraduate students enrolled at Assumption University School of Music during the first semester of the academic year 2018-2019. Data on musical self-efficacy were collected using the Musical Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (Zelenak, 2010). Data on music performance anxiety during the examination situation were collected using an adaptation of the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (K-MPAI; Kenny, 2016). Data on musical achievement were collected using the examination of the Applied Music and Instrumental Instruction courses. Analysis of the collected data revealed that the participants’ musical self-efficacy went from a slightly high level in Year 1 to a high level in Year 2, 3, 4 or over. Moreover, the participants’ music performance anxiety during the examination situation went from experiencing a moderate degree in Year 1 students, to a slightly high degree in students enrolled in Year 2, 3, 4 or over. The level of musical achievement was almost excellent throughout the three groups of students participating in this study. Neither the musical self-efficacy nor the music performance anxiety during the examination situation of undergraduate students in Assumption University School of Music were found to be significantly correlated to their musical achievement, regardless the education year students were enrolled in. Based on the results from this study, recommendations for students, instructors and future researchers are provided. and the Self-Efficacy for Musical Learning and Musical Performance. The instruments were used on 65 participants in the research study. The findings revealed a significant correlation among music performance anxiety with age, whereas no significant correlation among gender and MPA was discovered. A significant and negative correlation was found between MSE and MPA, implying that students with lower levels of MSE have the tendency to have greater levels of MPA and vice versa. Zelenak examined the musical self-efficacy of 293 middle and high school students attending a municipal high school in the southeastern United States. The study was conducted with the intention to develop and validate the Music Performance Self-Efficacy Scale (MPSES). The study took place within a month and the results revealed that the MPSES was a valid and reliable instrument to measure self-efficacy in music performance between high school students. No significant difference in musical self-efficacy was found between middle and high school students or among band, chorus, and string orchestra students.
Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Following a Job Loss in the UK

Research has documented that economic downturns increase the risk of pregnancy loss. However, previous work on has not addressed the influence of in utero exposure to job loss with high-quality individual data. We draw on ‘Understanding Society’ (UKHLS, sweeps 1-11, 2009-2020), which contains a sample of 7,698 pregnancies. The dependent variable identifies a non-live birth, namely a miscarriage or a stillbirth. We examine the couples who were exposed to an involuntary job loss and those who were not. Baseline models controlling for women’s socio-demographic background and prior experience of miscarriage indicate an increased risk of pregnancy loss when exposed to in utero job loss [odds ratio (OR) = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.42, 3.29]. When we account for all current socio-economic characteristics, the association remains statistically significant [odds ratio (OR) =1.96, 95% CI: 1.29, 2.98]. The findings support the inference that the in utero exposure to an involuntary job loss increases the risk of pregnancy disruption.
Uncertain Supply Chain Management The relationship between big data analytics and green supply chain management by looking at the role of environmental orientation: Evidence from emerging economy

Academics and practitioners have become more interested in big data analytics (BDA) in recent years. There have been few empirical studies on the relationship between BDA and green supply chain management (GSCM), as well as the importance of environmental orientation (EO). A total of 128 responses from Jordanian industrial businesses were evaluated using the structural equation modeling method. The BDA, EO has a favorable and significant relationship with external and internal GSCM, according to the findings of this study. Furthermore, EO serves as a mediator between BDA and the external, and internal GSCM. The findings provide managerial insight into how to use BDA to establish a proactive environmental policy that covers all GSCM activities. resource to help implement GSCM practices. The results of this study are consistent with the results of studies (Hazen et al., 2014; Dubey et al., 2019; Benzidia et al., 2021; Shokouhyar et al., 2020; Jeble et al., 2018; Mageto, 2021; Mubarik et al., 2021; Joghee et al., 2021; Papadopoulos et al., 2017). Our findings are also consistent with recent research (Lamba et al., 2019) released in Engineering and Technology, which proved the importance of BDA in the evaluation and selection of candidates. For industrial firms that work in a dynamic and unpredictable environment, this is a huge benefit to BDA. The results showed that there is an impact of the EO on the management of the GSC, this indicates a significantly positive impact of the EO on the management of green resources, which indicates that the EO facilitates the management of green resources. Resources that are difficult to duplicate, precious, and rare, according to RBV, can help businesses attain competitive sustainability advantages. Furthermore, structuring resources enables businesses to make the most of vital resources and successfully develop core capabilities (Kirchoff et al., 2016). As a result, an environmentally conscious organization can improve the implementation of GSCM by utilizing appropriate resources. Management's approach to the natural environment, as well as EO, can improve green resource management, according to empirical evidence. This result is consistent with research findings of (Chan et al., 2012; Zhou et al., 2008; Yu and Huo, 2019; Silva and Alves, 2019; Namagembe et al., 2016; Habib et al., 2021). may to environmental in SCs as green This in line with Dai et al. (2015), make measures that
Annals of Pediatrics & Child Health Clinical Profile and Validity of PRISM III among Children Admitted in A PICU Over One Year

Introduction: Ability to quantify the severity of the patient and predict the probability of death based on the clinical state of admitted child can help decision making selection of treatments, ethical issues and economic strategies . Aim and objectives: To analyze clinical and demographic profile of children admitted in PICU and predictive value of PRISM score. Material and methods: It was a prospective, observational, Clinical study. Minimal sample size for the sample to be representative was 240. Consecutive type of non-probability sampling was used during the study. Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis was done for evaluating the efficacy of PRISM Score to predict mortality. Results: During the study period we had total 315 admissions with 112 being direct admissions while rests 202 were transfer in from ward. Out of these 315 patients 262 were either transferred out of PICU or discharged to home while 49 children died thus mortality rate was 15%. At cut-off of 10.5, PRISM score at 12 hours and at cut-off of 8.5, PRISM score at 24 hours had good sensitivity and specificity. An inverse correlation was observed between PRISM score at 12 hours and 24 hours with hospital stay i.e. higher PRISM score was correlating with decreased hospital stay. Conclusion: There was male predominance and younger rage groups among PICU admissions. PRISM score at presentation may be used as a tool in predicting mortality in critically ill children. Hemato-onclogy and postoperative status were the commonest indications for PICU admissions in our set up.
The Social Problems Found in Charles Dicken’s Novel “A Tale of Two Cities” (Pre-Revolution of French Context)

: This research aims to analyze the problem of social condition of French society before the revolution portrait in A Tale of Two Cities novel written by Charles Dickens. The linkage of literary works as a portrayal of a social life proves that a literary work always has partiality. Therefore, it can be said that literary work is a tendentious work which means having certain purposes behind its creation. This research uses the qualitative and sociology of literature approach. The result of the research that the social condition of French society during revolution where the people live in poverty where the poor people exploited by the noble, famine struck in every corner of the city, rigid of law during the monarchy system, and power abuse by the nobles to the poor people, which lead this into revolution lead by the poor people. The Researcher concluded that social conditions of the society before the revolution are poverty, famine, rigid law, and power abuse.
On generalized Whittaker functions on Siegel’s upper half space of degree 2

In [5], H. Maass showed that the dimension of a space of generalized Whittaker functions satisfying certain system of differential equations on Siegel’s upper half space H2 of degree 2 is three. First of all, we shall investigate the structure of a space of generalized Whittaker functions which are eigen functions for the algebra of invariant differential operators on H2 . The theory of generalized Whittaker functions is discussed in Yamashita [12], [13], [14], [15] with full generality. But, we will get an outlook of the space of generalized Whittaker functions by using elementary calculus instead of representation theory of Lie groups.
Vulnerability Discovery for All: Experiences of Marginalization in Vulnerability Discovery

Vulnerability discovery is an essential aspect of software security. Currently, the demand for security experts significantly exceeds the available vulnerability discovery workforce. Further, the existing vulnerability discovery workforce is highly homogeneous, dominated by white and Asian men. As such, one promising avenue for increasing the capacity of the vulnerability discovery community is through recruitment and retention from a broader population. Although significant prior research has explored the challenges of equity and inclusion in computing broadly, the competitive and frequently self-taught nature of vulnerability discovery work may create new variations on these challenges. This paper reports on a semi-structured interview study (N = 16) investigating how people from marginalized populations come to participate in vulnerability discovery, whether they feel welcomed by the vulnerability discovery community, and what challenges they face when joining the vulnerability discovery community. We find that members of marginalized populations face some unique challenges, while other challenges common in vulnerability discovery are exacerbated by marginalization.
On the Relation of the Deconfinement and the Chiral Phase Transition in Gauge Theories with Fundamental and Adjoint Matter

We study the relation of confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in gauge theories with non-trivial center, such as SU(N) gauge theories. To this end, we deform these gauge theories by introducing an additional control parameter into the theory and by varying the representation of the quark fields. We then consider a large-d(R) expansion of the effective action, where d(R) denotes the dimension of the representation R of the quark fields. We show how our large-d(R) expansion can be extended in a systematic fashion and discuss the effects of 1/d(R)-corrections on the dynamics close to the finite-temperature phase boundary. Our analysis of the fixed-point structure of the theory suggests that the order, in which the chiral and the deconfinement phase transition occur, is dictated by the representation of the quark fields and by the underlying gauge group. In particular, we find that the phase diagram in the plane spanned by the temperature and our additional control parameter exhibits an intriguing phase structure for quarks in the fundamental representation. For SU(N) gauge theories with adjoint quarks, on the other hand, the structure of this phase diagram appears to be less rich, at least in leading order in the 1/d(R)-expansion.
Fundamental Stellar Parameters of γ2 Velorum from HIPPARCOS Data

We report parallax measurements by the HIPPARCOS satellite of γ2 Velorum and a few related objects. The distance of γ2 Vel is d = 258+ 41−31 pc, significantly smaller than the commonly adopted value to Vela OB2. For ζ Puppis d = 429+ 120−77 pc is in agreement with the canonical distance. The total mass of γ2 Vel derived from its parallax, the angular size of the semimajor axis as measured with intensity interferometry, and the period are M(W-R + O) = 29.5 ± 15.9 M☉. This result favors the orbital solution of Pike et al. over that of Moffat et al. The stellar parameters for the O star companion derived from line-blanketed non-LTE atmosphere models are Teff = 34,000 ± 1500 K, log L/L☉ = 5.3 ± 0.15, from which an evolutionary mass of M = 29 ± 4 M☉ and an age of 4.0+ 0.8−0.5 Myr is obtained from single-star evolutionary models. With non-LTE model calculations including He and C, we derive a luminosity log L/L☉ ~ 4.7 ± 0.2 for the W-R star. The mass-luminosity relation of hydrogen-free W-R stars implies a mass of MW-R ~ 5 ± 1.5 M☉. From our data we favor an age of about 10 Myr for the bulk of the Vela OB2 stars. Evolutionary scenarios for ζ Pup and γ2 Vel are discussed in the light of our results.
Deep Semantic Segmentation for Skin Cancer Detection from Hyperspectral Images

As skin cancer types are a growing concern worldwide, a new screening tool combined with automation may help the clinicians in clinical examinations of lesions. A novel hyperspectral imager prototype has been noted to be a promising non-invasive tool in screening of lesions. Deep learning, especially semantic segmentation models, have brought successful results in other biomedical imaging tasks. Therefore, semantic segmentation could be used to automate the results from the hyperspectral images of lesions. In this thesis we used a novel hyperspectral image dataset of lesions that contained 61 images. The dataset contained 120 different wavebands from the spectral range of 450− 850 nm with dimensions of 1920× 1200 pixels. We implemented two different semantic segmentation models and compared their performance with the novel hyperspectral image data. The models were compared by their ability to segmentate the images and by their ability to classify lesion types from the images. From the implemented models, the combination of ResNet and Unet model architecture (ResNet-Unet) was able to segmentate the images more accurately with f1-score of 92.38 %, whereas the implemented Unet model gained f1-score of 92.17 %. In addition, the ResNet-Unet model classified the lesion types more accurately, and contained only one false negative result in melanoma classification, when the Unet model contained two false negatives in melanoma classification. This study was able to repeat the results of a previous study, where the segmentation model using hyperspectral image data was able to classify melanoma slightly more accurately than the clinicians in a previous study were.
Tales and Tropes: Gender Roles from Word Embeddings in a Century of Children’s Books

The manner in which gender is portrayed in materials used to teach children conveys messages about people’s roles in society. In this paper, we measure the gendered depiction of central domains of social life in 100 years of highly influential children’s books. We make two main contributions: (1) we find that the portrayal of gender in these books reproduces traditional gender norms in society, and (2) we publish StoryWords 1.0, the first word embeddings trained on such a large body of children’s literature. We find that, relative to males, females are more likely to be represented in relation to their appearance than in relation to their competence; second, they are more likely to be represented in relation to their role in the family than their role in business. Finally, we find that non-binary or gender-fluid individuals are rarely mentioned. Our analysis advances understanding of the different messages contained in content commonly used to teach children, with immediate applications for practice, policy, and research.
Alcohol hangover across the lifespan

Aim: To investigate the relationship between age and hangover frequency and severity. Method: An online survey, generated through Facebook, collected self-report data relating to alcohol consumption from 761 Dutch alcohol consumers aged 18 – 94 years (61.6% female). Results: Overall, young individuals consumed more alcohol than older drinkers, and men more than women. Signiﬁcant interactions between age group and sex were found for both subjective intoxication and hangover severity, indicating that the sex differences in these variables were greatest in the younger age groups but became signiﬁcantly smaller or absent in the older age groups. Partial correlations, correcting for estimated blood alcohol concentration (eBAC), revealed signiﬁcant and negative partial correlations between age and subjective intoxication ( r = − 0.444, P < 0.0001), age and hangover severity ( r = − 0.327, P < 0.0001) and between age and hangover frequency ( r = − 0.195, P < 0.0001), i.e. subjective intoxication, hangover severity and hangover frequency decline with age. With regard to sex differences, the observed correlations with age for the past month heaviest drinking occasion were stronger in men for subjective intoxication, ( z = − 2.25, P = 0.024), hangover severity ( z = − 3.36, P = 0.0008) and hangover frequency ( z = − 3.63, P = 0.0003). Conclusions: Hangover severity declines with age, even after controlling for eBAC or the amount of alcohol consumed. Sex differences were greatest in the younger age groups but became signiﬁcantly smaller or absent in the older age groups. The relationship between age and hangover severity is strongly mediated by subjective intoxication. Pain sensitivity, lower with aging, might be a mediator.

DEMO tritium fuel cycle model and plant high level requirements

One of the overarching goals of a DEMO-class device is to demonstrate tritium self-su ﬃ ciency in a fusion power plant for the ﬁrst time. A future power reactor will necessarily require a start-up inventory of tritium, m T start , before commencing fully ﬂedged D-T operations for electricity production. In Europe, it is also presently considered necessary for DEMO to provide a tritium fuel start-up inventory for a subsequent prototype fusion power plant at a certain doubling time, t d . At present, there is no model capable of estimating m T start or t d for the EU-DEMO, which features a Direct Internal Recycling (DIR) loop in its fuel cycle, and is characterised by low load factors ( ∼ 0.2-0.3). This paper introduces a simpliﬁed dynamic tritium fuel cycle model capable estimating m T start and t d , which has been speciﬁcally designed to take into account the e ﬀ ects of low reactor load factors and irregular operation. Results with and without DIR are presented. The fuel cycle design space is explored, and the sensitivity of the performance to variations in key parameters and parameter combinations is analysed. Minimum recommended values of the tritium breeding ratio, load factor, and DIR separation factor are suggested, for the assumptions made herein, based on the response of the fuel cycle performance in the explored design space.
Factors Affecting Entrepreneurial Intentions among the Undergraduate Students in Rangpur, Bangladesh

This study aims at measuring the impact of personality characteristics such as risk-propensity, need for achievement, locus of control, autonomy, self-efficacy, tolerance of ambiguity, and education on the entrepreneurial intention of undergraduate students in Bangladesh. Primary data were collected from 250 undergraduate students of three educational institutions selected purposively from Rangpur using a questionnaire. Regression analysis was performed to identify the factors that have a significant impact on entrepreneurial intention. The findings of the study show that need for achievement, locus of control, autonomy, and self-efficacy significantly impact the entrepreneurial intention of undergraduate students. But this study finds no significant effect of risk taking propensity, tolerance of ambiguity and education on undergraduate students’ entrepreneurial intention in Rangpur, Bangladesh. However, this research is geographically limited to only three educational institutions in Rangpur in Bangladesh and the sample size of this study is relatively small. Lack of budget is the main reason to limit this research to small sample size. But, this study has implications for economic policymaking, and universities providing education to undergraduate-level students. The findings of the research suggest that students having a high need for achievement, high preference for autonomy, and high perceived self-efficacy are more willing to be entrepreneurs. Hence, any initiatives to increase in need for achievement, autonomy, and self-efficacy among students will help stimulate entrepreneurship development by increasing entrepreneurial intention among the students in the country. This paper is an original one and contributes to the research literature empirically.
