Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND

Mass media campaigns are effective in influencing a broad range of health behaviors. Prior to launching a campaign, developers often conduct ad testing to help identify strengths and weaknesses of the message executions among the campaign’s target audience. Endorsement of a six-item perceived message effectiveness (PME) measure is one approach commonly used for message selection; however, this scale often does not produce enough specificity to make important decisions on ad optimization and is typically used with adult populations for smoking cessation messages.

OBJECTIVE

This study includes the development of the Message Assessment Scale, a new tobacco prevention message testing scale for youth and young adults.

METHODS

Data were derived from numerous cross-sectional surveys designed to test the relevance and potential efficacy of anti-tobacco truth® campaign ads. Participants aged 15-24 (N=6,108) responded to a set of 12 core attitudinal items including relevance (both personal and cultural) as well as comprehension of the ad’s main message.

RESULTS

Data analysis included factor analyses which resulted in four scales. The four scales were significantly correlated with fact recall and vape intentions.

CONCLUSIONS

This set of items expands the portfolio of ad testing measures for ads focused on tobacco use prevention. Findings can inform how best to optimize ad executions and message delivery for health behavior campaigns, particularly those focused on tobacco use prevention among youth and young adult populations.

Authors: Ackleh-Tingle Jonathan V , Jordan Natalie M , Onwubiko Udodirim N , Chandra Christina , Harton Paige E , Rentmeester Shelby T , Chamberlain Allison T
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND

Primary care providers are regarded as trustworthy sources of information about COVID-19 vaccines, but little is known about whether primary care practices provide information about COVID-19 vaccines on their practice websites.

OBJECTIVE

To identify the prevalence and correlates of COVID-19 vaccine information on family medicine practice website homepages in the United States.

METHODS

Between September 20 and October 8, 2021, we examined 964 U.S.-based family medicine practice websites and extracted data on the availability of COVID-19 vaccine information. We estimated prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine information on practice website homepages and used Poisson regression with robust error variances to estimate crude and adjusted prevalence ratios for correlates of COVID-19 vaccine information, including practice size, practice region, university affiliation, and presence of information about seasonal influenza vaccines.

RESULTS

Of 964 websites, 550 (57%) mentioned COVID-19 vaccines on their practice website homepage. As practice size increased, the likelihood of finding COVID-19 vaccine information on the homepage increased (28% among single-location practices compared to 78% among practices with 20 or more locations, p<0.001). Compared to clinics in the Northeast, clinics in the West and Mid-west had a similar prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine information on website homepages, but clinics in the South had a lower prevalence (adjusted prevalence ratio 0.8, 95% CI: 0.7 to 1.0, p=0.02).

CONCLUSIONS

Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, primary care practitioners who promote and provide vaccines should strongly consider utilizing their existing practice websites to share COVID-19 vaccine information. These existing platforms can serve as an extension of providers’ influence on established and prospective patients who search online for information about COVID-19 vaccines.

Published: April 2022

In our country today, the counting of dried coconuts at the production facilities is done manually, takes a lot of time and is not accurate. The goal of this study is to build an automatic, fast and accurate coconut counting system. The study was conducted on the peeled dried coconut fruit with a diameter of 15 cm to 20 cm using image processing technology and open-source computer vision library - OpenCV library. The algorithm includes four main steps. First, determine the object and the background using the Otsu segmentation method. Next, estimate the distance between the background and the object to determine the closest area to the center of the object. Then, find the contour, determine the center and area of the object to reduce the noise. The watershed segmentation algorithm is used to separate overlapping and stacking objects. Finally, count the number of objects contained in the image. In the initial experimental results, the counting system has had an accuracy of over 95% with processing time per image about 75 ms and the counting capacity of the system is over 2000 fruits/hour has confirmed the efficiency of the proposed method.

Authors: Trần Minh T. , Tran Bao V. , Vo Nguyen D. , Nguyen Khang
Published: April 2022

Image processing and object detection in aerial images have to deal with a lot of trouble due to the existence of haze, smoke, dust in the atmosphere. These factors can blur objects and severely decline image quality which might lead to incorrect or missing object detection. To solve this problem, this study shows a method that can reduce the bad effect of haze on object detection in aerial images. A combination of a dehazing method called Feature Fusion Attention Network (FFA-Net) and an object detection method named Probabilistic Anchor Assignment (PAA) was conducted to evaluate two hypotheses: (1) haze was a noisy factor and (2) haze was treated as part of objects. Through extensive experiments, the selective dehazing hypothesis, which was used for truck objects, improved the detection result of car and bus from 19.6% to 21.9% and 0.7% to 4.4%, respectively, on the UAVDT-Benchmark-M dataset. This result showed that our approach was effective.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by SARS-COV-2 has a very high transmission rate and can potentially cause deaths. This disease is a great public health concern globally and considered as humanitarian disaster. Person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 occurs through close contact and droplets. Therefore, the preventions should be done through wearing masks, hand washing with soap, and social distancing. The spreading of misinformation causes a low level of public awareness. It will increase the risk of spreading the disease. This community service aims to increase public knowledge about the prevention and expansion of the COVID-19 disease. One hundred target households were visited and educated during the service. We have also distributed 250 masks and 500 leaflets and put up banners in open places containing what and how to prevent COVID-19. Installation a portable hand washing sink with soap was also carried out to reduce transmission risks. Dissemination of valid information must be carried out to change people’s behaviors. The involvement of all elements of society are needed to create a new normal era of life.

Published: April 2022

Sansevieria trifasciata is one of popular ornamental plants which also believed possessing therapeutic effects due to their phytochemical constituents. Secondary metabolites of plants can be toxic to other organisms; therefore, toxicity studies must be carried out to investigate adverse effects prior to further exploration as potent candidates of medicinal plants. This research aimed to evaluate toxicity and safety of consuming chloroform extract of S. trifasciata leaf (CESTL) in acute phase using female Wistar rats as model animal. Procedure referred to OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Test No. 420: Acute Oral Toxicity - Fixed Dose Procedure with single-dose administration of 2000 mg/kg bw. Results demonstrated that during 14 days of the experiment, neither mortality and sublethal effects as signs of toxicity were detected. There were no significant differences during the experiment between treatment groups and control in body weight, core temperature, individual and social behavior, food and water intake, as well as hematological profile, clinical biochemistry parameters, and relative organ weight (visceral organs indices). Almost all values were maintained within normal range (baseline) with fluctuation as normal physiological dynamics appeared relatively similar in all groups. Therefore, it can be concluded that no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) for single-dose oral administration of CESTL with the dose 2000 mg/kg bw and can be classified in the hazard of Category 5 based on Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). Based on this finding, we will continue to conduct further study to assess the repeated-dose acute oral toxicity.

Abstract: In this project, we modify a stationary diesel engine for producing power using turbine. Nowadays in automobile field many new innovating concepts are being developed. We are using the power from vehicle exhaust to generate the electricity which can be stored in battery for the later consumption. In this project, we are demonstrating a concept of generating power in a stationary multiple cylinder diesel engine by the usage of turbines. Here we are placing a turbine in the path of exhaust in the silencer. The turbine is connected to a dynamo, which is used to generate power. Depending upon the airflow the turbine will start rotating, and then the dynamo will also start to rotate. A dynamo is a device which is used to convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy. The generated power is stored to the battery. It can be stored in the battery after rectification. The rectified voltage can be inverted and can be used in various forms of utilities.

Abstract: This project presents the overall design of Home Automation System (HAS) with low cost and wireless system. It specifically focuses on the development of an IOT based home automation system that is able to control various components via internet or be automatically programmed to operate from ambient conditions. In this project, we design the development of a firmware for smart control which can successfully be automated minimizing human interaction to preserve the integrity within whole electrical devices in the home. We used Node MCU, a popular open source IOT platform, to execute the process of automation. Different components of the system will use different transmission mode that will be implemented to communicate the control of the devices by the user through Node MCU to the actual appliance. The main control system implements wireless technology to provide remote access from smart phone. We are using a cloud server-based communication that would add to the practicality of the project by enabling unrestricted access of the appliances to the user irrespective of the distance factor. We provided a data transmission network to create a stronger automation. The system intended to control electrical appliances and devices in house with relatively low cost design, user-friendly interface and ease of installation. The status of the appliance would be available, along with the control on an android platform. This system is designed to assist and provide support in order to 1fulfil the needs of elderly and disabled in home. Also, the smart home concept in the system improves the standard living at home.
A look at the Security and Privacy of Big Data

Published: April 2022

Abstract: In recent years a lot of data is being generated every second. So much data is produced that our conventional data management tool is not enough for this. The data is growing day by day because of more uses of the internet as well as more users of the smartphone, social media networks, Health care, etc. So, because of this, we made a term known as Big Data. So, from above we can understand that big data is a collection of a very large amount of data as well as complex data. Data is generally stored in three forms are structured, unstructured, semi-structured data. To answer these questions, we will perform a small rule which is called a “systematic Literature review (SLR)” [1]. According to this rule, we will collect, categorize, analyze and give the conclusion from the top research papers, review papers, books, conferences, etc. The main contribution of this work lies in the comparative study of big data security and privacy. We will try to find the issues of privacy and security in big data but still, we require some more research in this field.

Abstract: Stock market is very uncertain and highly volatile as the prices of stocks keep fluctuating due to several factors that make prediction of stocks a very difficult and complicated task. In the finance and trading world stock analysis and trading is a method for investors and traders to make buying and selling decisions. Investors and traders try to gain an edge in the markets by taking informed decisions by studying and evaluating past and current data. Stock market prediction has always been an important research topic in the financial and trading field [2]. Prediction of stock market is the act of trying to determine the future value of a company stock (nifty & sensex) or other financial instrument traded on an exchange. Our project explains the prediction of a stock using Machine Learning, which itself employs different models to make prediction easier and authentic. The paper focuses on the use of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) called Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) to predict stock values. This will help us provide more accurate results when compared to existing stock price prediction algorithms. The eminent analysis of the stock will be an asset for the stock market investors and will provide real-life solutions to the problems and also yield significant profit.

Effect on Compression Strength of Masonary Mortar by Replacing Fine Aggregates with Waste Glass
Authors: Pramod Prem , Ram Ramoo
Published: April 2022

Abstract: Eco- friendly, low-carbon, and energy-intensive materials are required for a accountable approach to sustainable development. Glass debris can be used to substitute fine natural aggregate in a constructive way. The effects of adding glass cullet to the mechanical characteristics of mortar were investigated for this purpose. The glass aggregate was created from recycled post-consumer waste glass (mainly bottles) from the food, medical, and cosmetics industries. Four different contents of fine glass cullet were used in this experiment (5, 10, 15, and 20 wt. percent of fine aggregate). Compressive, flexural, and split tensile strengths were all assessed. The modulus of elasticity and the Poisson coefficient were also calculated. The inclusion of glass sand aggregate to mortar improves its mechanical qualities. The acquired improvement in split tensile strength was the least influenced when comparing the strengths. Rarely has the found effect for the increased examined attributes of the glass sandaggregate content been documented. Furthermore, it was discovered that increasing the recycled glass sand aggregate content in mortar reduced the density. The links between the properties of mortar containing glass sand aggregate were also investigated. Keywords: Portland Pozzolana Cement (ultra-Tech), Drinking Water, natural sand, and waste glass replacement were used in the current experiment.

Published: April 2022

Empathy has gained prominence within Evolutionary Psychology. It consists of sharing emotions and understanding the other's point of view and tends to differ between men and women. However, it is still unclear what are its evolutionary advantages. Clinical and mental health factors may also influence the expression of empathy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare empathy between male and female undergraduate students, as well as the clinical and mental health profiles in individuals with low and high empathy scores. We applied online the “Escala Multidimensional de Reatividade Interpessoal” (EMRI), to measure empathy, and the "ConVid - Pesquisa de Comportamentos'' to assess the emotional states and clinical profile of 155 students from the Federal University of Goiás. In total, there were 69 male participants (23.85 ± 3.72 years) and 86 female participants (24.29 ± 5.55 years). The scores of the empathy subscales were compared between genders using Student's t-test (p<0.05). Higher scores of Empathic Concern (p<0.0001), Personal Distress (p=0.0051) and Global Empathy Score (p=0.0002) were found for women compared to men. Moreover, more empathic people have higher levels of self-perception of their emotional states (p=0.0026). The results confirm the findings in the literature, which indicate that women tend to be more empathic than men. The study of the subject in other contexts are still important for a more precise understanding of the evolutionary phenomenon of empathy.

The failures of mining tailings dams in Mariana, in 2015, and in Brumadinho, in 2019, are identified as the biggest environmental disaster and the biggest work accident in the history of Brazil, respectively. This article aimed to analyze the background of these tragedies, their environmental and socioeconomic impacts, as well as the psychosocial consequences for the population directly and indirectly affected by these tragedies. The method used was the integrative literature review. Searches for scientific articles were carried out in the SciELO, PePSIC and BVS Salud BIREME databases, using the following combination of descriptors: “Brumadinho” & “desastre” and “Mariana” & “desastre”. Fourteen articles were analyzed, published between 2015 and 2020. The results show the weaknesses of the State in the prevention, resolution, and accountability of such crimes, demarcating a history of impunity for the companies involved, lack of reparation for socio-environmental damage, and helplessness to the affected population. Furthermore, the role of emergency and disaster psychology in these scenarios was analyzed, highlighting the ethical commitment of this profession to the promotion of mental health and the guarantee of rights.
SAÚDE MENTAL DOS PROFESSORES EM TEMPOS DA PANDEMIA DA COVID-19: entrevista aos professores das escolas primárias da cidade de Nampula-Moçambique
Authors: Sunde Rosário Martinho
Published: April 2022

This is a cross-sectional qualitative research using a semi-structured interview whose objective was to assess the impacts of the pandemic on the mental health of primary school teachers in the city of Nampula, Mozambique. All participants were contacted in advance (with the help of a collaborator) and presented with the free and informed consent form. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and processed under the content analysis of Saldaña (2013). The results indicate that the Covid-19 pandemic has greatly affected the mental health of teachers and the entire school community. Respondents reported experiences of anxiety and fear among students, teachers and other users when returning to face-to-face classes during the pandemic. However, despite the fact that many psychology professionals (school psychology, educational psychology, social and organizational psychology, clinical psychology and related areas) that many Mozambican universities have trained annually, schools do not enjoy their services and many of them are allocated as professors in different classes and sometimes, outside its scope of action. Due to the complexity of the emotional and affective problems that have been registered in schools, it is suggested that the education system together with schools implement psychological support services to promote the well-being and mental health of the school community and the population in general.

Published: April 2022

The present study is a narrative review aiming to synthesize how family and educational environments concern the affective and sexual development of a person with intellectual disabilities (ID). In order to comprehend this phenomenon/context, studies published in magazines, newspapers, theses, dissertations and other scientific documents were investigated, which address the sexuality of people with intellectual disabilities, in addition to the individual's own view of their sexuality. As it is a narrative review, the data were analyzed from a qualitative perspective, and demonstrate that despite the sexuality of the individual with ID is the same as those who do not have a disability, the environment in which they are inserted can negatively influence their sexual development. Therefore, sexual education reveals itself to be relevant, since knowing about the subject and having an interdisciplinary space to discuss such matters can contribute to a safer affective-sexual development. For this, it is necessary for this process to be carried out in an inclusive way, contemplating the needs and subjectivities of the person with ID, as well as their family.

Published: April 2022

Psychodiagnosis is a scientific investigation process, limited in time, which uses techniques, through specific, structured questions, to which the probable answers are organized in the form of hypotheses that will be confirmed through the steps of the process, either to classify the case and predict its possible course, communicating the results, on the basis of which therapeutic interventions are proposed. Therefore, the objective of this descriptive research was to understand the importance of using scientifically validated interviews and questionnaires used in the scientific community to identify clinical diagnostic factors and criteria, from the perspective of DSM-5 in the psychodiagnosis of children, adolescents and adults and in addition to psychological examinations and tests, clinical psychodiagnosis can be a means for an interventional and therapeutic process, as the professional analyzes, investigates and intervenes with resources and projective techniques. For that, playful and projective instruments and resources that favor the clinical process for evaluation and therapeutic intervention were also presented.

Published: April 2022

El uso de métodos analíticos alternativos es una necesidad para la determinación de microelementos con fines de fertilidad de manera rápida, de menor costo y con resultados similares a los procedimientos analíticos ya estandarizados, por lo cual el objetivo de este trabajo fue comparar el método con fluorescencia total de rayos X (TXRF) con los resultados obtenidos para la determinación de los microelementos Cu, Mn, Fe y Zn por absorción atómica. Para ello, se cuantificaron los contenidos de Cu, Mn, Zn y Fe en dos aridisoles, uno ubicado en un bosque natural con alto contenido de materia orgánica (PS1), y otro con bajo contenido de materia orgánica (PS2), como consecuencia de la actividad agrícola intensiva, cuyas muestras se tomaron a una profundidad de diez centímetros. La cuantificación de los microelementos se realizó mediante absorción atómica (método estándar) y con TXRF, método alternativo propuesto. En ambos casos se realizó, previamente, la extracción de los microelementos con acetato de amonio. Para cada condición se tomaron tres muestras con diez repeticiones para treinta unidades experimentales. Los datos fueron analizados mediante prueba de T de Student, con un valor de P<0.05. Los resultados mostraron que en ambos suelos el método por difracción de rayos X presentó valores similares a los obtenidos por absorción atómica para el Mn y el Zn, pero sobreestimó los valores de Cu y Fe, por lo que el uso de este método analítico puede ser usado con seguridad para determinar Mn y Zn, pero no de Cu y Fe. El uso de este método es atractivo debido a su rapidez y menor uso de reactivos, disminuyendo los riesgos de contaminación y obteniendo resultados confiables para la determinación de microelementos con fines de fertilidad o análisis de riesgos de contaminación.

Published: April 2022

The increasing enthusiasm of government agencies to implement e-government can be seen as the government’s commitment to anticipating the current development of science and technology (Gupta, Singh, & Bhaskar, 2018; Wang, Wang, & Liu, 2016). The present study was designed to investigate the information technology culture of public organizations in the context of public services in the Magelang City Government, Indonesia, and identify the driving and inhibiting factors of e-government based public services in the city. A mixed method with a sequential explanatory design was employed in the study. Data were garnered through questionnaire surveys, documentation, observation, and interviews. A descriptive statistic was used for the quantitative data analysis, while for the qualitative data analysis, a thematic process was conducted. Findings from the study suggest that the information technology culture in the city’s governance is mainly influenced by five factors: technocratic utopianism, anarchy, feudalism, dictatorship, and federalism. The findings are crucial as they contribute to the discovery of the root cause of the problem that the implementation of e-government based public services in Indonesia is not yet optimal.
The changes of microbiota associated with immunological disturbances in allergic respiratory disease

Published: April 2022

Allergic respiratory disease is a worldwide health problem with
increasing incidence and incurable properties. Extensive studies have
found complex changes in the microbiota of the respiratory and
intestinal tracts in allergic respiratory diseases, which affect the
immune response and further influence the disease progression. The wide
and diverse microbiota alterations in allergic respiratory disease make
it difficult to find the exact microorganism to target for adjustment.
Current evidence suggests that these common microbiota variations
present in allergic respiratory disease are associated with immune
disorders, which could be a potential therapeutic target for allergic
respiratory disease. This review summarizes the current knowledge on
microbiota changes in allergic respiratory disease, with the aim of
identifying common microbiota changes associated with immune disorders
and providing a theoretical basis for targeting therapies for allergic
respiratory disease through effective modulation of key bacteria.

Published: April 2022

Nutrient-specific foraging is the ecological theory that generalist
consumers select food resources based on their nutritional content.
While laboratory experiments support this, it has not yet been
demonstrated in invertebrate predators in the field. We combined dietary
metabarcoding with prey abundance and macronutrient content data to
analyze nutrient-specific foraging in the field. Spider nutrient intake
and prey choice deviated from random. Through a novel nutrient-based
taxonomy and null modelling, we reveal a stable average macronutrient
intake and disproportionate foraging for different macronutrients by
individual spiders. This aligns with the expectation that individual
spiders at different stages of nutrient balancing will be biased toward
prey rich in different nutrients. This finding suggests that spiders are
redressing nutritional deficits to obtain a target nutrient intake, as
expected of nutrient-specific foraging. This evidence for
nutrient-specific foraging under field conditions significantly extends
our understanding beyond lab-based behavioral assays to resolve complex
real-world systems.
