ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TAHFIZ INTEGRATED CURRICULUM (KBT)

Tahfiz Integrated Curriculum (KBT) is one of the tahfiz education approaches applied in Malaysia. Tahfiz education now emphasizes learning that integrates tahfiz and academic lessons into one curriculum. The combination of Quranic, Ijtihadik and Encyclopaedic elements is the central core of Tahfiz Model Ulul Albab (TMUA), which was implemented as early as 2014 until now. Thus, the question arises regarding how effective and successful this curriculum produces Huffaz as planned. Accordingly, this paper will cover the Tahfiz Integrated Curriculum (KBT) and curriculum evaluation as well as curriculum evaluation models. Finally, some methods of integration and evaluation of the tahfiz integrated curriculum are also proposed to ensure tahfiz learning is effective. The implications of this study guide the authorities to formulate strategies to maximize the excellence of the huffaz.
Assertive behavior in dementia family caregivers: Development and validation of the Caregiving Assertiveness Questionnaire (CAQ)

Dementia family caregivers´ assertiveness may play a significant role in the caregiving stress and coping process, but research analyzing this topic is still scarce. This study presents the psychometric properties of the Caregiving Assertiveness Questionnaire (CAQ) and analyzes the associations between assertiveness and other variables with a relevant role in the caregiving coping process. One hundred and forty-seven family dementia caregivers participated in the study. A three-factor structure (expressing discomfort, facing conflicts and setting limits) was found for the CAQ, which explained a 69.63% of the variance in assertiveness. Significant associations were found between scores in CAQ (total scale and subscales) and variables such as experiential avoidance, cognitive fusion and frequency of leisure. CAQ presents appropriate psychometric characteristics and is a useful assessment tool to take into consideration when designing comprehensive assessment protocols for dementia family caregivers, and designing interventions aimed at helping this population.
A REVIEW ON RECENT ADVANCES ON STIMULI BASED SMART NANOMATERIALS FOR DRUG DELIVERY AND BIOMEDICAL APPLICATION

The advancement of numerous interdisciplinary fields of science, engineering, and medicine has been integrated into the rapid growth of nanomedicine (NM) over the past few decades. Many aspects of NM need to be investigated, even though a few clinical successes of nanomaterials have significantly altered the landscape of disease diagnosis and treatment. One such topic is the complex interactions between NM and its post-administration chemical, physical, and biological interactions and how these interactions impact NM biological performance. Because of the increased prevalence of metabolic disorders, neurological illnesses, heart diseases, and cancer, as well as the hunt for effective therapies for these and other diseases, there is a larger demand for unique, inventive, and drug-delivery systems that can transport medications to the desired place. The many cutting-edge drug delivery systems are becoming more and more dependent on nanotechnology. In this review, developments in the field and talk about how nanomedicine interacts with the physical, chemical, and biological material, with a focus on biological stimuli research. We also show how nano-bio interaction can create a variety of multifunctional platforms of biomedical applications with a wide range. The potential difficulties and opportunities in the study of nano-bio interactions are also discussed.
ScalarDB: Universal Transaction Manager for Polystores

This paper presents ScalarDB, a universal transaction manager that achieves distributed transactions across multiple disparate databases. ScalarDB provides a database-agnostic transaction manager on top of its database abstraction; thus, it achieves transactions spanning various databases without depending on the transactional capability of underlying databases. ScalarDB is based on several research works and extended to provide a strong correctness guarantee (i.e., strict serializability), further performance optimizations, and several critical mechanisms for productization. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of ScalarDB. We also present evaluation results showing that ScalarDB achieves database-spanning transactions with reasonable performance and near-linear scalability without sacrificing correctness. Finally, we share some case studies and lessons learned while building and running ScalarDB.
YouTube Transcripts Word Frequency Measure

Many YouTube videos provide written audio transcripts which provide information on the language used on YouTube. One important measure relating to language usage is word frequency. Using student-developed software and libraries in R, Python, and Microsoft Excel, the transcripts of one million YouTube videos from the YouTube-8M data set were scraped and analyzed. The word frequency of the YouTube data set was shown to correlate with commonly used word frequency measures from established studies, such as the subtitle word frequency and the HAL word frequency.
Automatic measurement of river water-level using image-based computer vision

Monitoring the water reservoir in hydroelectric plants is of fundamental importance for the management of energy production, ﬂood warnings and planning of water resources. To that end, telemetric and electronic meters allow water levels to be automatically measured and monitored in the hydroelec-tric power plant. Such methods may have ﬂaws or inaccuracies, necessitating a second measurement method. Video surveillance has come to be widely used for monitoring as a redundant system, but it is still subject to human errors in visually reading information. In this context, this work proposes a redundant automatic measurement method using computer vision. As a case study, images from conventional cameras from the Jirau Hydroelectric Power Plant, on the Madeira River, Brazil, were used. The results obtained show RMSE, MAE and 𝑅 2 errors of 0.045, 0.0328 and 0.9946 respectively. Such results show that the proposed model can collaborate as a redundant monitoring method.
Sport Tourism, Destination Image and College Football Games: The Recreational Vehicle Tailgater

Attending sporting events is a popular leisure and recreation activity and more individuals are willing and able to travel greater distances to attend these events. In particular, college football athletics has seen tremendous growth in coverage with conference realignment, television deals, national exposure and other endorsement deals. Students, fans and alumni are spending the weekends in the fall to travel to and participate in college football game day activities including tailgating, socializing and attending the game (Drenton, Peters, Leigh & Hollenbeck, 2009). A subculture within the culture of college football fans are people who travel to games in recreational vehicles or RVs. Individuals who travel via RV to college football games have rarely been the topic of research in regards to sport consumption and destination image. Destination image can play a major role in the decision of fans to travel to games in addition to loyalty towards their team. Four NCAA Division I Football Bowl Series (FBS) schools were selected and those individuals who utilized the RV parking on each college campus were surveyed. The study aimed to look at and understand the motivations for traveling to and experiencing the college football weekend via the RV on college campuses. RV tailgaters were similar to typical RV owners with the exception of earning more income. After data analysis, five motivations were revealed to describe why individuals travel to college football game with RVs. These five motivations were analyzed along with destination image to determine if the motivations had an affect on destination image. Only one motivation—family—was not affected. Finally, the RV
Trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C in the treatment of pediatric glaucomas.

PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C (MMC) in the management of childhood glaucomas. DESIGN Retrospective, noncomparative case series. PARTICIPANTS All patients less than 18 years of age who underwent trabeculectomy with MMC from June 1991 through October 1997 were included. METHODS The medical records of 29 consecutive patients (29 eyes) were reviewed. Data collected during routine patient follow-up were analyzed. Surgical outcome was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier life-table analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Clinical outcome assessment included intraocular pressure (IOP) control, visual acuity, and identification of complications. Successful IOP control was defined as 5 mmHg < or = final IOP < or = 21 mmHg, with or without antiglaucoma medications and without further glaucoma surgery or loss of light perception. Outcomes for the group of patients with primary infantile glaucoma were compared with those for the group with secondary glaucomas. RESULTS Mean patient age was 6.4 +/- 4.4 years (range, 0.2-15.3 years). A variety of primary and secondary glaucomas were represented. Mitomycin-C (0.5 mg/ml) on a surgical sponge was applied to the episcleral surface for an average of 3.8 +/- 1.0 minutes (range, 1.5-5.0 minutes). Mean follow-up time for patients categorized as successes was 25.1 +/- 16.0 months (range, 5.5-59.7 months). The 12-, 24-, and 36-month life-table success rates for IOP control were 82%, 59%, and 59% respectively. There was no difference between the primary infantile glaucoma group and the secondary glaucoma group with respect to length of follow-up, rate of successful IOP control, and incidence of complications. Five patients (17%) experienced late bleb-related infection (BRI) at an average of 27.9 +/- 18.1 months (range, 5.4-55.5 months) after surgery. Other complications included hyphema, retinal detachment, late-onset bleb leak, flat anterior chamber, chronic hypotony, decompression retinopathy, suture abscess, and phthisis. CONCLUSIONS Trabeculectomy with MMC may be useful in the management of childhood glaucomas in which goniotomy, trabeculotomy, or both have failed. However, the high incidence of BRI in this series over an extended follow-up interval dictates caution in using MMC as an adjunct in pediatric trabeculectomy.

Mandatory Adoption of IFRS and Earnings Management in Emerging Countries: The Role of National Culture

IFRS are recognized as standards with the potential to improve the quality of accounting information considering, among other factors, the fact that they are principles based rules and may, therefore, better reflect the companies’ financial situation. However, institutional characteristics of the countries has been pointed out as potencial influencers on the effect of IFRS adoption. In this perspective, this study examines whether the characteristics of national culture (individualism, masculinity, aversion to uncertainty, long-term orientation indulgence and power distance), as proposed by Hofstede, Hofstede and Minkov (2010), are moderating factors on the potential impact of IFRS mandatory adoption on the quality of accounting information in emerging countries. The quality of information was measured through earnings management by accruals, based on the model of Jones (1991) modified by Dechow, Sloan and Sweeney (1995). Through a sample of 2,458 companies from 13 countries, totaling 18,163 firm-year observations, using regression models and controlling for several firm-individual characteristics, we identified that the dimensions of individualism, masculinity, aversion to uncertainty, long-term orientation and indulgence moderates the impact of IFRS adoption on earnings management levels in emerging countries. It was not possible to identify evidence that the power distance dimension exerts such influence. Taken together, the results of this study indicate that the national culture characteristics are able to moderate the effects of mandatory adoption of IFRS on earnings management practices. Overall, this study adds to the literature on the effect of cultural factors on accounting quality and fills a gap in the empirical literature about accounting and IFRS, which mostly addresses developed countries, by addressing emerging countries.
Cultivating an Active Living Plan Through a Social-Ecological Evaluation

Physical activity (PA) social-ecological model (SEM) posits the importance of several levels of influence critical for PA promotion within communities. The purpose of this study was to examine an SEM evaluation informing a county-wide active living plan in McLennan County, Texas in the United States. Mixed-methods evaluation occurred in 4 stages: (1) county policies (n = 15) were evaluated for PA promoting strategies; (2) PA resource assessments (PARAs) were conducted via Google Maps (n = 171); (3) surveys (n = 244) included the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and interpersonal and intrapersonal factors related to PA; and (4) focus groups (n = 5) were conducted with residents (n = 30), discussing barriers and facilitators to being active. Logistic regression determined significant associations between SEM factors and meeting PA recommendations. Policy scans and PARAs identified strengths and areas of improvement (eg, equitable project selection and disparities in resource quality). Residents reporting fewer barriers (OR = 0.89, P =.01), more perceived behavioral control (odds ratio [OR] = 1.38, P = .01), more social co-participation in PA (OR = 1.20, P = .03), and living in zip codes with higher mean PARA score (OR = 1.22, P = .04) were significantly more likely to meet PA recommendations (Nagelkerke R2 = 0.32). Focus groups also discussed safety and disparities in access and quality. This study suggests the utility of the SEM when evaluating and promoting community PA.

Charting a Path to Achieve

Aims: To identify subgroups of nurses with distinct profiles of burnout (emotional exhaustion) and resilience (emotional thriving and emotional recovery) and describe nurse characteristics associated with each profile. Design: Cross-sectional, correlational design. Methods: Data were collected via electronic survey from 2018-19. Latent profile analysis was used to identify subgroups of nurses with distinct profiles of emotional exhaustion, emotional thriving, and emotional recovery, with each measured on a 0-100 scale. Bivariate statistics were used to determine profile differences in nurse sociodemographic, professional, and psychological characteristics. Results: Four distinct profile subgroups were identified:(1)“exhausted”(14% with very high emotional exhaustion, low emotional thriving, and moderate emotional recovery), (2)“exhausted with thriving”(6% with high emotional exhaustion, moderate-high emotional thriving, and low emotional recovery), (3)“exhausted with thriving and recovery”(52% with moderate-high emotional exhaustion, emotional thriving, and emotional recovery), and (4)“thriving and recovery”(27% with low emotional exhaustion and very high emotional thriving and emotional recovery). Nurses in the “exhausted” and “exhausted with thriving” profiles reported greater depression and poorer work-life integration. Nurses in “exhausted” profile were more likely to work in an inpatient setting. Nurses in the “exhausted with thriving and recovery” and “thriving and recovery” profiles reported more positive emotions, more well-being behaviors, and better work-life integration, with the “thriving and recovery” subgroup having the highest levels of these characteristics, lower depression scores and greater racial minority representation. Conclusion: Approaches designed to improve nurse well-being should be tailored to the nurses’ profile of emotional exhaustion, thriving, and recovery to maximize effectiveness. Impact: Given the growing shortage of nurses in healthcare systems, it is critical that multi-level strategies be investigated to retain nursing staff that consider the intersectionality and complexity of the different aspects of burnout and resilience experienced by the nurse. No Patient or Public Contribution: The aim was to assess burnout and resilience among nurses.
Fatigue performance evaluation of stiffener‐to‐deck plate weld in orthotropic steel decks based on generative adversarial network

The stiffener‐to‐deck plate welds are one of the weak areas of orthotropic steel decks (OSDs). Accurate evaluation of fatigue performance of stiffener‐to‐deck plate welds is important for the design and service of OSDs. Traditional fatigue performance evaluation method of stiffener‐to‐deck plate welds based on S‐N curves requires a large amount of experimental data as support. However, fatigue tests are time‐consuming and costly‐approach. In this paper, generative adversarial network (GAN) was used to augment hot spot stress range data and fatigue life of rib‐to‐deck welded joints based on a small amount of test data. Then, the least‐squares regression was used to fit S‐N curves base on original data and generated data. The fitted S‐N curves were compared with experimental curve. Compared with the S‐N curve fitted by a small amount of original data, the S‐N curve fitted by generated data is closer to the experimental result, which indicates that the fatigue data generated by GAN has the potential to be an effective tool in the fatigue performance evaluation of fatigue critical details.
Optimization methods for the design of advanced 3d‐printed metal seismic dissipation devices

In recent years, the topic of passive building protection became increasingly relevant due to the intense seismic activity in many parts of the world, often impacting densely populated areas. In the meantime, modern additive manufacturing technologies enabled the introduction of devices for structural applications that are innovative both in terms of final shape and design methods. The aim of the research project is to develop metal energy dissipation devices (dampers) from conventional geometric shapes and then direct the design towards specific performance in terms of strength, stiffness and dissipative capacity through optimization algorithms, with the aim of optimizing their function when employed as damper for the seismic protection of buildings. The subsequent removal of parts in excess of the real structural needs makes it possible to pursue important goals such as saving material, and reducing weight and costs. The proposed study illustrates the results of the first dampers designed through advanced topological and geometric optimization algorithms, implemented within the Abaqus software. The early models, designed from a spherical shape, are conceived to withstand axial stresses, simulating the load that can be transferred through a diagonal brace during an earthquake.
Improved Design Rules for Stainless and Carbon Steel Bolts Loaded in Tension and Shear

The design of non‐preloaded bolted connections as bearing type connections (category A), tension connections (category D) or bearing type connections subjected to tension and shear loading (categories A + D) is given in EN 1993‐1‐8 for carbon steel bolts. However, the design of these kinds of bolted connections made of stainless steel is given in EN 1993‐1‐4 mainly basing on those regulations developed for carbon steel bolts neglecting the specific material properties of stainless steel bolts. To overcome this lack of knowledge, experimental and numerical investigations as well as reliability analyses were systematically carried out for austenitic and duplex stainless steel bolts on their tension, single‐shear and their interaction resistance. Finally, more economical and harmonised design rules for stainless steel bolts could be developed and implemented in the revision of EN 1993‐1‐4 and the German technical approval abZ/abG Z‐30.3‐6:2022. Subsequently, the regulations covered in EN 1993‐1‐8 for carbon steel bolts were checked, considering already existing experimental results in literature and new test results carried out by the authors regarding the applicability of the newly developed rules for stainless steel bolts. As a result, it was found that the rules for carbon steel bolts can be improved, being in line with the newly developed rules for stainless steel bolts and meeting the Eurocode safety requirements.
