Exploring college students’ motivations for choosing online learning program

Abstract In recent years, many educational institutions have begun to offer online learning programs, and online learning is in great demand by students. However, evaluations of online learning programs have shown a lack of quality communication between instructors and students, as well as time management constraints that lead to high student dropout rates. These conditions form the basis of the question underlying this research: What motivates students to choose online learning programs? This research aims to identify and provide an in-depth description of motivation in regard to students’ learning needs. The research used a qualitative approach and post-positivistic paradigm to explore students’ motivations and compare current findings with the motivations identified in the uses and gratifications framework. Thirty-two students from different backgrounds in online learning programs were involved as focus group discussion participants. As a result, this study identified four motivational categories that encourage students to choose online learning programs, namely flexibility, learning, interaction, and expression. Each category of motivation is discussed through several themes including cost-of-living efficiency, easy access to technology and materials, making friends and networking, and freedom of opinion.
Impacts of Eco-Friendly Environmental Designs on Health and Well-Being of Patients in Hospitals

Homeopathic settings like hospital reception hall can increase a patient’s nervousness level as well as mental and physical reactions to their present state. This study is aimed at evaluating the use of environmental design, precisely the design that integrates fundamentals of the natural environment, in hospitals to reduce nervousness, hypertension and heartbeat rates of waiting patients. Depictions of landscape and the natural environment are known to restore feasible bonds between man and his environment, consequently, the influences of environmental design on patient’s reactions are rated and examined. In a bid to examine these assumptions about 145 persons were sampled. They were later classified into control and experiment clusters of males and females. The designed environment was subjected to experimental fields such as natural elements, green plants, sounds of waterfalls and birds. Both control and experimental fields were tested before and after the experiment. The results indicated that a designed hospital’s reception hall room immensely influences the decreased rate of patient nervousness (p< 0.001), hypertension (p< 0.001) and heartbeat rate (0.001). We propose that using an environmental design for homeopathic treatment centers can decrease the level of nervousness in patients and can lead to a patient’s recovery.

Corrosion Resistance of Titanium Dental Implant Abutments: Comparative Analysis and Surface Characterization

Metals subjected to the oral environment are prone to corrosion over time and this can be harmful. Metallic restoration components such as dental subgingival implant abutments are exposed to pH changes and different ions while in contact with saliva. The aim of the study was to evaluate the corrosion resistance of titanium dental implant abutments and to compare and contrast the surface characteristics of these alloys before and after corrosion. The corrosion examination (Ecorr, jcorr, OCP, polarization curve) of two implant abutments (TiDesign EV, Astra Tech, Dentsply, York, PA, USA; Individual Titanium Abutment, Apollo Implants Components, Pabianice, Poland) was performed in 0.9% NaCl and 5% HCl. Moreover, specimens were investigated using SEM-EDS before and after the corrosion test. The value of jcorr in NaCl was higher for Astra (34.2 × 10−8 ± 2.5 × 10−8 A/cm2) than for Apollo (8.8 × 10−8 ± 2.5 × 10−8 A/cm2). Whereas, in HCl, the opposite relationship was observed (Astra 2.9 × 10−4 ± 0.8 × 10−4 A/cm2 and Apollo 62.7 × 10−4 ± 9.3 × 10−4 A/cm2). An average reactive anodic current density in NaCl for Astra amounted up to ~0.2 × 10−5–1.5 × 10−5 A/cm2, while for Apollo-up to ~3.3–9.7 × 10−7 A/cm2. The composition of both alloys after corrosion in NaCl demonstrated some changes: a decrease in the Ti, and Al and an increase in oxygen content. Hence, both alloys after corrosion in HCl demonstrated some minor changes in the elemental composition. Based on the results it can be concluded that: 1. Astra and Apollo abutments revealed good corrosion resistance and a passivation layer on the surface. 2. Apollo abutments exhibited better corrosion resistance in a neutral environment, suggesting that Astra abutments were found to be more resistant to corrosion in an acidic medium.
Building Loyalty Through Education on Passenger Trust in Low Cost Airlines Indonesia, The Role Of Service Quality And Passenger Satisfaction

The study aims to investigate how service quality contributes to passenger loyalty in LCA Indonesia, considering satisfaction and trust. A survey was conducted with 400 respondents who used LCA services for domestic flights at Sultan Hasanuddin Airport in Makassar between 2021 and May 2022. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed for data analysis. The results indicate that service quality, passenger satisfaction, and trust are crucial in shaping loyalty. Satisfying services have the potential to foster trust, leading to passenger loyalty. Satisfaction and trust act as effective mediators of service quality and passenger loyalty. The findings highlight the importance of delivering high-quality services that meet passenger expectations and generate satisfaction. LCA Indonesia can build trust and establish a loyal customer base by exceeding customer expectations. Service quality is vital for providing positive experiences to passengers. Understanding the mediating roles of satisfaction and trust is also key. LCA Indonesia can enhance passenger loyalty by prioritizing service quality, improving satisfaction levels, and building trust among passengers. Addressing these factors strengthens the airline's competitive position and ensures long-term customer loyalty in a highly competitive market.
Phylogenetic Characterization of Rabies Virus Field Isolates Collected from Animals in European Russian Regions in 2009–2022

Rabies is a fatal disease of mammals that poses a high zoonotic risk to humans as well. The distribution of rabies is mainly driven by host animal migration and human-mediated dispersion. To contribute to the global understanding of the rabies virus (RABV) molecular epidemiology, 94 RABV field isolates collected from animals in 13 European Russian regions were phylogenetically characterized using the nearly full-size N gene nucleotide sequences. According to phylogenetic inferences, all isolates belonged to one of the two established phylogenetic groups, either group C (n = 54) or group D (n = 40), which are part of the clade Cosmopolitan of RABVs. Some representatives of group C collected from regions located far apart from each other had a remarkably high level of nucleotide identity. The possibility of the contribution of local bat species to the distribution of RABVs was discussed. Interestingly, over the years, the fraction of group D isolates has been constantly decreasing compared with that of group C isolates. The phylogenetic insights generated herein might have an important contribution to the control and surveillance of animal rabies epidemiology in the region.
Effect of Time-Restricted Eating versus Daily Calorie Restriction on Mood and Quality of Life in Adults with Obesity

The purpose of this secondary analysis is to compare the effects of two popular weight loss regimens, time-restricted eating (TRE) and daily calorie restriction (CR), on mood and quality-of-life measures in adults with obesity. Ninety participants were randomized to one of three interventions for 12 months: 8 h TRE (eating only between 12:00 and 8:00 p.m., with no calorie counting); CR (25% energy restriction daily); or no-intervention control group. Questionnaires were administered to measure mood (Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and Profile of Mood States (POMS)) and quality of life (Rand 36-Item Short Form) at baseline and month 12. Body weight decreased in the TRE group (−4.87%, 95%CI: −7.61, −2.13) and CR group (−5.30%, 95%CI: −9.06, −1.54) versus controls, with no difference between TRE and CR. The BDI-II depression score did not change in the TRE or CR group, versus controls, by month 12. Likewise, there were no changes in any of the POMS subscales (tension, depression, anger, fatigue, anger, confusion, or vigor) or the total mood disturbance score in the TRE or CR group versus controls. As for quality of life, there were no significant changes in the SF-36 constructs of mental health, bodily pain, and general physical health in the TRE or CR group versus controls. However, there was a trend towards increased vitality in the TRE group (7.77 [95% CI: 0.15, 15.39] p = 0.05) relative to controls. There were no associations between changes in body weight, physical activity, mood, and quality of life in any group by the end of the study. These findings suggest that TRE and CR produce similar degrees of weight loss, but impact neither mood nor quality of life in adults with obesity over 12 months. Future well-powered studies will be needed to confirm these findings.
Residencetimeofdi¡usewavesinthecrustasaphysicalinterpretation of codaQ: application to seismograms recorded in Mexico

SUMMARY We consider a simple model for elastic wave propagation in the Earth’s lithosphere consisting of a heterogeneous and scattering crust overlying a homogeneous mantle; that is, we neglect backscattering from the upper mantle. This rough condition is not strictly valid everywhere, but this model allows us to investigate the eiects of variations of diiracting properties between crust and mantle on the coda decay. The free parameters describing the wave propagation are the mean free path of the waves and the intrinsic absorption in the crust. In the framework of the radiative transfer theory, we treat, accurately, jumps in S-wave speed and the mean free path at the Moho. Without intrinsic absorption, this con¢guration yields a synthetic coda decay 1/texp({2nft/Qc ), a form similar to that proposed by Aki & Chouet (1975) to parametrize the observations.The exponential decay in our purely elastic model is due to the partial leakage of diiuse energy into the mantle. In order to test the applicability of our model, we have determined the coda Q parameter (Qc) in the 1^15 Hz frequency band from data recorded at four stations in Mexico. In the low-frequency regime (around 1 Hz), we suggest that the energy leakage signi¢cantly aiects coda Q, whilst at higher frequencies (around 10 Hz), the anelastic attenuation dominates. A weak intrinsic absorption expressed by a frequency-independent parameter, Qi, of about 1000 accounts satisfactorily for the observed Qc values in the whole frequency range. Our very simple model has only two free parameters and oiers an attractive alternative physical interpretation of coda Q. In Mexico, this model is su⁄cient to interpret the coda observations. According to our model, in regions where the mean free path is much larger than the crustal thickness (weakly heterogeneous crust), the leakage eiect should be small, and the observed Qc will mainly be due to the intrinsic absorption. On the other hand, when the mean free path is of the orderof the crustal thickness (stronglyheterogeneous crust), we predict a strong sensitivity of the decay rate of the coda to the crustal thickness.This dependence may be important for the interpretation of the regional variations of coda Q. We propose introducing a new parameter, qd, the residence time of diiuse energy in the crust, which is physically more meaningful than a quality factor to quantify the leakage eiect.
Correlation of Indices of Obesity with Hypertension among Igbos in Enugu Metropolis

Background: Relationship between obesity and hypertension is well established and hypertension shows positive relationship with all obesity indices. Objective: To determine the obesity indicator with the greatest sensitivity in predicting hypertension. Method: A cross-sectional community-based descriptive survey was carried out in Enugu Metropolis. Multistage sampling procedures were used to select participants using the World Health Organization STEPS instrument. Height, weight, waist circumference; hip circumference and blood pressure were measured and recorded. Results: A total of 482 participants were recruited; of which 160 (33.2%) and 322 (66.8%) were males and females respectively. 89 (18.5%) participants have high systolic blood pressure, 117(24.3%) have high diastolic blood pressure, while the overall hypertension prevalence is seen in 123 participants (25.5%). The blood pressure was noticed to increase as obesity increases regardless of the index of obesity used and that at WHR≥1 all the 15 participants (M:8, F:7m) that crossed that threshold were hypertensive regardless of age and sex demonstrating the sensitivity of WHR in predicting hypertension and associated cardiometabolic risks. Conclusion: obesity and hypertension are interrelated and common in our environment, all the indices of obesity show positive correlation with hypertension but WHR offers a simple index that can be used to detect occult hypertension in our clinics due its 100% correlation at the WHR threshold of ≥1.
A Drug Utilization Study of Anti-glaucoma Drugs in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Background and objectives: Today, branded medications and polytherapy are frequently prescribed for glaucoma, even without giving the patient the proper instructions. Hence, the safety, effectiveness, cost, and patient compliance of glaucoma medication must be weighed, and the anti-glaucoma medicine usage must be studied. Analysis of glaucoma patients' prescription usage was the objective of this study. Material and methods: Between January 2021 and February 2022, this prospective and observational study was carried out at Andhra Medical College in Vishakhapatnam. One hundred prescriptions of those with primary open-angle and angle closure glaucoma were assessed. Age and gender-based subgroup analyses were conducted. R software (version 4.2.1) (The R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) was leveraged for data analysis. Results: Out of 146 examined prescriptions, 100 (69%) were deemed suitable for analysis. Participants' mean age was 54.2 ± 10.8 years. Sixty-two were over 50 years old, and 36 were men. The mean intraocular pressure was 25.4 ± 1.7 mm of Hg. Per prescription, there were about 1.75 anti-glaucoma drugs. Fixed-dose combinations (FDC) were found in 43 prescriptions. Generic medications and patient instructions prevailed in most prescriptions (78%) and (84%). Timolol was used in each FDC with brimonidine, dorzolamide, or bimatoprost. Conclusion: The most often prescribed anti-glaucoma drug, timolol, was also identified as an essential component of the FDC. Doctors must prescribe generic medications with detailed directions for the patients.
Comparison between the socio-educational profiles of children with verbal and non-verbal Autism Spectrum Disorder

ABSTRACT Purpose Compare the psychoeducational profiles of children with verbal and non-verbal Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Methods Cross-sectional study conducted with a sample of 30 children with a medical diagnosis of ASD (15 verbal and 15 non-verbal) aged 2-9 years. The Psychoeducational Profile-Revised (PEP-R) scale was applied to assess the children’s development. The data were analyzed quantitatively and comparatively. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was performed to evaluate the compatibility between the groups regarding the scores obtained in each PEP-R area, with chronological age as the covariate, and Student’s t-Test was used for the independent samples (p≤0.001). Results The scores in the different areas of the PEP-R were higher in the verbal group, with associations between language development and cognitive and social adaptive skills in the studied sample. Comparison between the groups showed a lower profile of the non-verbal group, with statistically significant differences in the areas of imitation, perception, gross and fine motor coordination, eye-hand coordination, cognitive performance, and verbal performance. Conclusion The goal of comparing the psychoeducational profiles of verbal and non-verbal ASD children was reached, and statistically significant differences were observed. The children with non-verbal ASD presented a lower psychoeducational profile compared with that of verbal ASD children. Further studies with larger samples, delimited age groups, and more specific tests in each developmental area are suggested.

Corrections and further discussion of the primary magmas of mid‐ocean ridge basalts, 1 and 2

An error has been detected in the methodology for estimating batch melt compositions from plagioclase and spinel Iherzolites at mantle conditions presented by Kinzler and Grove (1992a,b) (hereafter referred to as K&G). In a mass balance calculation employed by K&G the melt fraction was not properly transformed from weight units to molar units, resulting in an overestimate of the effective melt fraction employed in the calculation of the Mg # (Mg/[Mg+Fe2+]) of the melt, at melt fractions greater than 0.01. In the batch melts estimated by K&G, the abundance of FeO increases then decreases in the melt with increasing melt fraction from 0.01 to 0.20. Using the corrected methodology described here, the abundance of FeO in melts produced via batch melting increases as melt fraction increases from 0.01 to 0.20 (up to the point of exhaustion of clinopyroxene). The correction has essentially no effect on the compositions of melts produced via the near-fractional melting processes described in K&G because melt fractions employed in the near-fractional melting calculations never exceeded 0.01. In addition we apply the methodology of K&G to estimate the mantle temperature, average pressure of melting and average extent of melting beneath a mid-ocean ridge segment from the FeO and Na2O content of a mid-ocean ridge basalt from that segment.
The expanding tropics: a critical assessment of the observational and modeling studies

This review provides comprehensive coverage of the tropical expansion literature to date. The primary focus is on the annual‐ and zonal‐mean behavior of the phenomenon. An idealized model that identifies the mean meridional circulation as a hemisphere‐wide structure with significant tropical–extratropical interaction is introduced as background for the understanding of the expansion and the methodologies used for detection. A variety of metrics from different data sources have been used to identify an expansion of the global tropics since 1979 by 1°–3° latitude in each hemisphere, an average trend of approximately 0.5°–1.0° decade−1. The symmetry of this expansion—whether Northern and Southern hemispheres are expanding at the same rate—is unclear. Limitations of observational datasets, including reanalyses, prevent a more precise determination at this time. General circulation models are able to qualitatively reproduce this expansion, but generally underestimate its magnitude. Multiple factors have been identified as potential drivers of the expansion, including increasing greenhouses gases, stratospheric ozone depletion, and anthropogenic aerosols. No single factor by itself appears to explain the full expansion, perhaps a shortcoming of the models or experiment design. It may be that some combination of these forcings is producing the change, but the relative contribution of each forcing to the expansion is currently unknown. The key issues remaining to be resolved are briefly summarized at the end. WIREs Clim Change 2014, 5:89–112. doi: 10.1002/wcc.251
The Reliability and Validity of the Polish Version of the Schema Mode Inventory (SMI)

(1) Background: Schema therapy and working with schema modes is increasingly popular. Since there is no validated tool to measure schema modes in Poland, in this study, we present an assessment of the psychometric properties of the Polish version the Short Schema Mode Inventory (SMI) adaptation. (2) Methods: First, the original version of the scale was translated. Subsequently, a validity and reliability study was conducted on a sample of 240 patients and 400 non-patients. In particular, the factor structure of the inventory was checked, internal reliability and intercorrelations between subscales were tested, differences between the clinical and non-clinical groups in terms of the severity of each factor were examined, and construct validity was assessed by comparing the association of results with external variables. (3) Results: The results did not conclusively confirm the 14-factor structure postulated in the original scale. Nevertheless, the relatively best fit indices were obtained for such a model. The internal reliability for the 14 subscales ranged from 0.74 to 0.95 (McDonald’s omega). Correlations between subscales demonstrated values from 0.03 to 0.72. The existence of differences between the clinical and non-clinical groups and the construct validity were confirmed. (4) Conclusions: The psychometric evaluation performed is mostly similar to the results obtained for other adaptations, and the results justify the inventory being used for research and clinical purposes when knowledge of its limitations is included.
