ANALYSIS OF MENTAL DISORDERS AND SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION OF ADOLESCENT NURSING STUDENTS ON THE BASIS OF GENDER

as: Unal-Aslan K.S. , E. Analysis Of Mental Disorders And Social Media Addiction Of Adolescent Nursing Students On The Basis Of Gender. ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study is to examine mental disorders and social media addiction in adolescent nursing students in terms of gender. Methods: The population of this descriptive research was comprised of students of Nursing Department of the Faculty of Health Sciences of a public university in Turkey. Research data were collected via ‘Personal Information Form’ which addressed socio-demographic characteristics of participants, ‘Social Media Addiction Scale (SMA Scale)’ and ‘Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI)’. Frequencies, means, standard deviations, Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test were utilized in the analysis of data obtained through the research. Results: Mean age of students taking part in the research is 19.69±1.15. It was found that 51.3% of students participating in the research were females and smoking was more common among female students. It was ascertained that females had higher means of scores obtained from overall BSI and its anxiety, depression, and negative self-evaluation sub-scales. In light of the finding that the mean of scores obtained by female students from the overall SMA Scale was 77.00 (41-143), it was identified that female students had social media addiction. It was found that there was a statistically significant positive relationship between the mean of scores of overall SMA Scale & its sub-scales and overall BSI & its sub-scales. Conclusions: Initiatives and activities that can improve students ' mental health and reduce their social media addictions should be planned .
Seasonal Variation in Space Use and Territoriality in an Invasive Large Mammal (Sus Scrofa)

An individual’s spatial behavior is shaped by social and environmental factors and provides critical information about population processes to inform conservation and management actions. Heterogeneity in spatial overlap among conspecifics can be evaluated using estimates of home ranges and core areas and used to understand factors influencing space use and territoriality. To understand and test predictions about spatial behavior in an invasive large mammal, the wild pig (Sus scrofa), we examined variation in space use between sexes and seasons. We predicted that if animals were territorial that there would be a reduction in space-use overlap when comparing overlap of home ranges (HR-HR), to home ranges and core areas (HR-CA), and in-turn to core areas (CA-CA). Home ranges and core areas were estimated for 54 wild pigs at Buck Island Ranch, FL from GPS telemetry data. Overlap indices were calculated to estimate the strength (space-use overlap) and number of potential interactions within three wet seasons (June-October) and two dry seasons (December-April). Across all seasons, males exhibited larger home ranges compared to females (M = 10.36±0.79 km² (±SE), F = 3.21±0.16 km²) and interacted with a greater number of individuals than females. Home range size and strength of interactions did not vary between wet and dry seasons. Consistent with our predictions, wild pigs appeared to exhibit territorial behavior, where strength of overlap decreased when comparing HR-HR to HR-CA and HR-CA to CA-CA. Strength of overlap varied by sex, which was lowest between females, intermediate between females and males, and greatest between males. Our framework can be used to understand patterns of space use and territoriality in populations, which has important implications in understanding population processes and how pathogens and parasites might spread within and among populations.
Comparison of UCA-OAM and UCA-MIMO systems for sub-THz band line-of-sight spatial multiplexing transmission

This paper compares the uniform circular array based orbital angular momentum (UCA-OAM) scheme, which enables spatial multiplexing transmission of data symbols via multiple OAM modes, with the UCA-MIMO scheme through numerical analysis and simulation in terms of spectral efficiency and feedback over-head. Specifically, based on the relations between the eigenmodes of the UCA-SVD-MIMO system and the modes of UCA-OAM system as well as the capacity formula, the channel capacities of the two systems are compared for the cases where equal power allocation and waterfilling power allocation are employed, and then the effectiveness of the analytical results are verified through simulation.
Development of soybean somatic embryos under different light spectra

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. 'Primorskaya 28') plantlet development from somatic embryos (embryoids) under different spectra was studied. Light irradiation with intensity of 48 μmol/(m2·s) was generated by LEDs (light emitting diodes) with various spectra: cold white (CW), white (W), warm white (WW), full spectrum (FS, 450 nm and 660 nm), red (R, 630 nm), blue (B, 440 nm), and sun box (SB, close to the sun spectrum at wavelength range 440–660 nm). Fluorescent lamps were used as a control illumination (K). Our results showed that experimental LED lights with different spectra possessed the potential to positively affect the development of soybean plantlets from embryoid phase to a full-fledged plantlet, ready to be transferred into soil. The best effect was observed for the FS, which provided development of the highest plantlets. SB light was promising after one month of cultivation, but provided no significant differences in plantlets growth at the end of the experiment. A tendency to the lower growth was observed for plantlets under CW, W, WW, and K. Red light did not provide notable shoot elongation, as was supposed to. Investigations will be continued to clarify and refine the obtained data on the effect of light spectra on soybean plantlet development from embryoids.
Control of multiagent networks with misbehaving nodes

ABSTRACT We study multiagent networks with floating, driver, and unmodelled nodes, where floating nodes exchange local information, driver nodes not only exchange local information but also take input and output roles, and unmodelled nodes have an unknown but bounded behaviour. Specifically, we consider the presence of misbehaving nodes within the floating and driver nodes in addition to the misbehaviours resulting from the unmodelled nodes, and propose a feedback control approach applied to the driver nodes for suppressing the effect of all misbehaving nodes in the multiagent network. We show closed-loop stability with the proposed approach, where the driver nodes asymptotically or closely follow a given command and the remaining nodes may also follow this command or remain bounded depending on the location of driver nodes in the multiagent network. Considering limited resources in that the number of driver nodes is generally fewer than the number of floating nodes, we further characterize the effect of the location of the driver nodes to closed-loop stability. Our findings reveal how the driver nodes need to be selected for isolating the effect of misbehaving nodes in certain portions of the multiagent network such that the nodes in those portions also follow the given command.
A Spectral–Spatial Jointed Spectral Super-Resolution and Its Application to HJ-1A Satellite Images

To generate a high-spatial-resolution hyperspectral (HHS) image from a high-spatial-resolution multispectral (HMS) image, both spatial information and spectral information should be considered simultaneously if we want to build a more accurate mapping from HMS to HHS. To this end, a spectral and spatial jointed spectral super-resolution method is proposed in this letter using an end-to-end learning strategy for each subspace with the cluster-based multibranch backpropagation neural network (BPNN). More specifically, in addition to the spectra similarity, a modified superpixel segmentation is introduced to jointly take spatial contextual information into account, and a new framework with it is given. Comparisons on the Columbia University Automated Vision Environment (CAVE) data set show that our proposed method outperforms other relative state-of-the-art methods more than 0.3 in the root mean squared error (RMSE) and more than 1.0 in the spectral angle mapper (SAM) index. Especially, an exemplary application is demonstrated using the synchronized observation data collected by the multispectral and hyperspectral sensors mounted on the HJ-1A satellite at the same time.
A New Extragradient-Type Algorithm for the Split Feasibility Problem

We consider the split feasibility problem (SFP) in Hilbert spaces, inspired by extragradient method presented by Ceng, Ansari for split feasibility problem, subgradient extragradient method proposed by Censor, and variant extragradient-type method presented by Yao for variational inequalities; we suggest an extragradient-type algorithm for the SFP. We prove the strong convergence under some suitable conditions in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces.
Temperature-Pressure Phase Relationships in Niobium Pentoxide.

A pressure-temperature (P-T) section of the phase equilibrium diagram for Nb2O5 has been determined. Four single phase regions, H-Nb2O5, B-Nb2O5, and two L-Nb2O5 areas, were characterized by x-ray powder diffraction data. The superstructure of L-Nb2O5 was indexed on the basis of similarities to the known superstructures of L-Ta2O5 and confirmed with single crystal electron diffraction data. The correct unit cell is orthorhombic with a = 6.168, b = 29.312, c = 3.938 Å, with the b axis 8 times the subcell (8 × 3.664 Å).
Gamification and Using It in Organisational Consulting

Gamification has been a topical item in education, marketing, human resources management, business, and organisational consulting in the past decade. Nowadays, companies have a wider range of available organisational consultations: organisational supervision is developing, coaching is popular, and there is a wide offer of business training sessions. This study aims to research gamification in organisational consulting, analyse the differences in the opinions regarding the use and availability of gamification in the professional activities of coaches, supervisors and business trainers. The survey developed by the authors of the study consisted of four sets of items (Information about Gamification, Application and Availability of Gamification, Believing Gamification Methods, Team/Group Responsiveness to Gamification) and two additional statements for the purpose of confirming the responses given by the respondents regarding their beliefs in gamification as an effective method and their readiness to use it. The associations related to the game and gamification were also researched. The questionnaire about gamification in the professional activities of supervisors, coaches and business trainers was sent electronically to professionals practising in Latvia. Questionnaires from 85 respondents were received and processed. The results demonstrated no statistically significant differences in the opinions of coaches, supervisors and business trainers regarding the use of gamification in organisational consulting. It was found out that the concept of gamification has not been sufficiently explained and there is still no common understanding regarding it in Latvia. More than half or 55 % of the 85 respondents in the survey do not know where to acquire gamification. At the same time, 91 % of the respondents in the survey specify that they are willing to acquire the methods of gamification. The authors of the study believe that it is important to proceed with the research in organisations to find out the experience of the organisations in gamification and to develop gamification training programmes for the organisations.
Evaluating effects of activated sludge and nanochitosan on physical and strength properties of recycled pulp

The present research aims to shed light on the effect of activated sludge (from a paper mill) and nanochitosan on the physical and strength properties of recycled pulp. Firstly, activated sludge was treated with 3% acetic acid for 30 min and then placed in a beaker for 90 min at 100 °C. Then, the ingredients were mixed and refined with recycled newsprint pulp in different proportions (0, 5, 10, and 15%). Finally, 2% nanochitosan was optionally added. Test specimens were prepared according to TAPPI standards with a basis weight of 120 g/m2, and their physical (water absorption) and strength (tear strength, tensile strength, burst strength, and ring crush test) properties were measured and compared. The results showed that with the increase of untreated activated sludge in recycled paper pulp, the indicators of tear resistance, ring crush test, and burst strength decreased and water absorption increased. Strength properties increased and water adsorption decreased when adding activated sludge treated with 3% acetic acid. Through the addition of nanochitosan to activated sludge treated with acetic acid, a significant increase in strength properties and a decrease in water absorption were observed.
A New Benzoxazine Containing Benzoxazole-Functionalized Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane and the Corresponding Polybenzoxazine Nanocomposites

A new benzoxazole-modified [PhSiO1.5]8(OPS) benzoxazine (OPS–Bz) was synthesized and used to prepare polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)/ polybenzoxazine (PBz) nanocomposites. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1H NMR, 29Si NMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to characterize the structure of OPS–Bz. The high resolution transmission electron microscopy images of POSS/PBz(30/70) nanocomposites showed a well separated nanostructure of POSS with a typical phase size of 3–10 nm. POSS was highly dispersed in the polymer matrix because of the benzoxazole groups around the OPS molecular, in which the rigid benzoxazole groups increased the distance among the POSS molecules and reduced the aggregation of POSS nanoparticles. The TGA study showed these nanocomposites possess good thermal stability. Moreover, the dielectric constants and dielectric loss of these POSS/PBz nanocomposites were low and changed slightly at room temperature in the .
A Comparison of Linear Conventional and Nonlinear Microbial Models for Simulating Pulse Dynamics of Soil Heterotrophic Respiration in a Semi‐Arid Grassland

As a critical process in regulating terrestrial feedback to climate change, soil heterotrophic respiration is commonly simulated with the first‐order kinetics in current Earth system models. Compared with the first‐order kinetic models, explicit microbial models are expected to better simulate nonlinear carbon (C)‐cycle phenomena, such as the pulse dynamics of soil heterotrophic respiration driven by dry‐rewetting cycles in grasslands. However, these two types of models (i.e., linear conventional and nonlinear microbial models) have never been compared based on in situ observations of soil heterotrophic respiration in the semi‐arid grassland, which is significantly affected by the dry‐rewetting events. Here, based on the field data of soil heterotrophic respiration in a semi‐arid grassland in northern China, we first showed that the shift from a conventional linear model to a nonlinear microbial model did not substantially improve the simulation of soil heterotrophic respiration. Then, we quantified the contributions of different moisture‐response functions to the uncertainty in simulating the soil C dynamics. The results showed that the selection of moisture‐response functions combined with parameterization in the soil C models dominated the modeled uncertainties in soil heterotrophic respiration. These findings suggest that both the conventional linear model and nonlinear microbial model can simulate well the pulse dynamic of soil heterotrophic respiration in grasslands with an improved parameterization of water regulation on soil carbon decomposition. This study also calls for more observations of nonlinear C phenomena for reducing the simulation uncertainty on soil C cycling in Earth system models.
Analyzing Evidence on Interventions to Strengthen the Clinical Support for Midwifery Students in Clinical Placements: Protocol for a Systematic Scoping Review

Background The benefits of clinical support are evident in various mentorship, preceptorship, or clinical supervision models. Poor collaboration between lecturers and clinical staff, lack of confidence about student support, large student intakes coupled with core demands create negative attitudes toward student supervision, and this poses a huge challenge to midwifery students who are expected to become competent in the process. Objective This study aims to identify and analyze interventions, strategies, and/or mechanisms in order to strengthen the clinical support for midwifery students in clinical practice areas from a global perspective. Methods This review will follow the Arksey and O’Malley framework (2005). The search strategy will include primary studies searched for in electronic databases such as EBSCOhost (CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Health Source: Nursing/Academic edition), PubMed, Google, and Google Scholar. Keywords such as “midwifery students,” “midwifery education,” and “clinical support” will be used to search for related articles. The search will include articles from the cited by search, as well as citations from the reference list of included articles. All title-screened articles will be exported to an EndNote library, and duplicate studies will be removed. Two independent reviewers will concurrently carry out the abstract and full-text article screening according to the eligibility criteria. Extracted data will highlight the aims, geographical setting, and level of training; intervention outcomes; and the most relevant and most significant findings. This review will also include a mixed methods quality appraisal check. A narrative summary of data extracted will be analyzed using content analysis. Results Interventions to strengthen the clinical support for midwifery students in practice will be extracted from this review, and data will be analyzed and extracted to develop a comprehensive guide or framework for clinical mentorship. As of August 2021, the electronic search, the data extraction, and the analysis have been completed. The results paper is expected to be published within the next 6 months. Conclusions It is expected that this review will contribute to midwifery education by identifying quality evidence on clinical support interventions available to midwifery students globally, as well as best practice methods, procedures, or interventions that can be used to develop a midwifery mentorship training program.

Nonlinearity Characteristics of Low-Voltage Barium Titanate Based Zinc Oxide Varistor Ceramics Modified by Cobalt Dopants

Digital Object Identifier 10.29292/jics.v16i1. 220 Abstract—Application of ZnO varistor at low voltage has increased significantly due to the high demands of low-voltage electronics with high nonlinearity characteristics and low leakage current. The varistor ceramics were developed via a solidstate reaction method, and the resultant sample was analyzed by means of SEM, EDS and XRD. The nonlinearity characteristics of ZnO varistor ceramics for different cobalt oxide (Co3O4) contents at a given barium titanate (BaTiO3) amount were analyzed based on the measurement of the J-E characteristics. The increased value of the nonlinear coefficient (α) equal to 4.8 was exhibited by the sample made with 12 wt. % BaTiO3 additives. As the concentration of dopant (Co3O4) incorporated was increased from 0.5 to 1.5 wt. %, the varistor voltage limit decreased from 8.9 V/mm to 7.0 V/mm, respectively. Additionally, the barrier height increased from 0.88 to 0.98 eV for 0.0 wt. % to 1.0 wt. % of Co3O4 concentration, respectively. The highest α of 7.2 was obtained at 0.5 wt. % Co3O4 and decreased with further doping content due to the reduction of barrier height caused by the variation of electronic state at the grain boundaries.
FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES OF MANAGEMENT OF TIBIAL PLATEAU FRACTURES (TYPE II) BY CLOSED REDUCTION AND PERCUTANEOUS SCREWS

To evaluate the outcomes of closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation for tibial plateau fractures (Type II). 9 men and 3 women aged 21 to 64 (mean, 38.1) years underwent closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation for closed tibial plateau fractures (type II) according to the Schatzker classification. Closed reduction was achieved using manual ligamentotaxis with traction in extension under image intensifier control. Reduction was fixed percutaneously with cancellous screws (6.5 mm) and washers. Functional outcome (pain, walking capacity, extension lag, range of motion, stability and return to daily activity) was evaluated using the Modified Hospital for Special Surgery Score. A total score of 55 to 60 was considered as excellent, 45 to 54 as good, 35 to 44 as fair, and <35 as poor. Patients were followed up for a mean of 8 (range, 6-12) months. The mean length of hospital stay was 2 (range, 1-3) days. All the fractures united radiographically after a mean of 3 (range, 2.5-3.5) months. The score was excellent in 4 patients, good in 6 patients, and fair in 2 patients. The mean Modified-HSS score was 53.3. No patient had infection or wound dehiscence. Closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation for tibial plateau fractures (type II) is a minimally invasive method of fixation that reduces the length of hospital stay and costs, enables early mobilization with minimal instrumentation, and achieves satisfactory outcomes.

Clinical outcomes in lower extremity deep vein thrombosis treated with a direct oral anticoagulant: A retrospective cohort study

Background/Aim: Rivaroxaban and apixaban were shown to be non-inferior and somewhat superior to warfarin in preventing pulmonary embolization and venous complications. However, there is still a need for further evidence concerning the efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants in the treatment of patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). This study aimed to analyze patients with DVT and PE who received a direct oral anticoagulant (apixaban) during their hospitalization and thereafter. Methods: Data of all consecutive subjects admitted for lower limb DVT who received apixaban for DVT treatment in our department between January 2015-April 2019 were analyzed. Apixaban was directly administered after the diagnosis of DVT in 68 subjects, following discontinuation of warfarin due to the lack of success in maintaining appropriate INR values in 56 subjects and following the discontinuation of the rivaroxaban due to gastrointestinal complications in 7 subjects. Results: Apixaban was administered for a median duration of 12.0 (12.0-24.0) months. The most common predisposing factors for venous thromboembolism were thrombophilia and major surgery history. Among all, 62.59% of the DVT were at and proximal to the femoral vein. Concomitant PE was encountered in 16.03% of the study subjects. Those with distal DVT and those who received apixaban immediately after diagnosis of the DVT less frequently developed PE compared to those who received post-rivaroxaban or post-warfarin apixaban. Treatment with apixaban leads to a significant decline in D-dimer levels from the first month of the treatment (P<0.001). Recurrent DVT and PE occur in 10% and 16%, respectively, under apixaban treatment. Conclusions: Among patients with proximal DVT, those receiving apixaban following a period of treatment with rivaroxaban or warfarin compared to direct administration constitute the majority of the PE cases. Apixaban seems like an effective treatment option in patients with DVT and PE.
