Bildiyimiz kimi, akustik karotaj məlumatlarına əsasən süxurların sıxlığı və sürəti ilə əlaqədar olan, akustik xarakteristikalardan vacibi sayılan akustik sərtliyi lazimi dəqiqliklə təyin etmək mümkündür. Bu parametr əsasında mühitin sıxlığı və məsaməliyi ilə yanaşı, həm də kəsilişin həm şaquli (QGT üsulları kompleksində) həm də radial (seysmik kəşfiyyatı məlumatları kompleksində) istiqamətlərdə litoloji xüsusiyyətləri birmənalı təyin edilir ki, bu parametrdən ilkin informasiya mənbəyi kimi layların əksolma əmsalının təyinində istifadə olunur. Odur ki, tədqiqat işində Günəşli yatağının quyu kəsilişlərində mədən geofiziki üsulları kompleksində akustik karotajı məlumatları bazasında MQ çöküntülərində interval sürəti (Vp), akustik sərtlik və əksolma əmsalının (Kəks.) qiymətləri hesablanmış, tədqiqat obyektinin quyu kəsilişləri üzrə geoakustik modeli qurulmuşdur. Bu kəmiyyətlərin təyini üçün alqoritm və proqram (Exsel) təminatı işlənilmişdir. Geoakustik modeldən tədqiqat obyektində eləcə də analoji çöküntülərdə litologiyanın və ayrı-ayrı horizontların dəqiqləşdirilməsində istifadə edilmişdir. Burada Günəşli yatağının 21 saylı quyu kəsilişi üçün geoakustik model qurulmuş və quyu kəsilişinin dərinlik üzrə əksetdirici sərhədləri təyin edilmişdir.
Beləliklə, Günəşli yatağının 21 saylı quyu kəsilişi üçün QGT məlumatlarının EHM-də araşdırılması göstərir ki, dayaq əksolma sərhədləri, litoloji tərkibin dəyişməsi, bircinsli terrigen qumdaşı-gil qalınlığı ilə əlaqədardır. Bu da litologiyanın və stratiqrafiyanın çökmə hövzələrində dəqiqləşdirilməsinə imkan yaradır.
Beləliklə, mürəkkəb quruluşlu geoloji kəsilişlərin geofiziki tədqiqində AK-nın QGT-kompleksində istifadəsi çox səmərəlidir.

APPLİCATİON OF NEW TECHNOLOGY TO İNCREASE THE EFFİCİENCY OF DEVELOPMENT OF OFFSHORE GAS- CONDENSATE FİELDS
Authors: Tofig Samadov, Namig Jabbarov Tofig Samadov, Namig Jabbarov
Published: June 2022

The article provides a brief analysis of the application of new technology to increase the efficiency of development of offshore gas- condensate fields. Because more than two-thirds of the earth's surface is covered by water, oil and gas fields are exploited not only on land, but also in the seas and oceans. Thus, offshore fields have a more complex structure than onshore fields, and different exploitation methods are used depending on the depth of the water. The growing demand for oil and gas requires deeper exploitation, which creates a need for the development of new technologies.
Offshore gas- condensate fields do not differ from conventional gas fields only in the development and operation of ordinary gas fields:
• these deposits are located in relatively deeper layers - more than 1500 m;
• such deposits have high pressure and temperature;
• gas-condensate in the field can be single-phase (gas) and two-phase (liquid and gas);
• although the gas is mainly composed of methane (85-94%), it also contains higher hydrocarbons, which are also included in kerosene, starting with hexane.
Keywords: gas-condensate, single-phase, two-phase, kerosene, methane, hexane.

Diaqnostikanın hazırda ən çox istifadə edilən növləri və metodları haqqında məlumat verilir. Bu metodlar radiasiya, elektrik, maqnit metodlarıdır. Ümumiyyətlə, radiasiya metodu ən ənənəvi metod sayılır və ionlaşdırıcı sualarin ionlaşdırıcı mənbələr vasitəsilə avadanlığın üzərinə göndərilməsinə əsaslanır.Yekunda əldə olunan radioqrafik şəkillər vasitəsilə ixtisaslaşmış işçilər tərəfindən qüsurun təbiəti haqqinda məlumat dəqiq bir interpretasiya əldə etmək olur.Bu metodun çatışmayan əsas cəhəti onu icra edə bilmək üçün yüksək ixtisaslaşmış kadrların tələb olunmasıdır.Həmçinin tələb olunan qurğuların quraşdırılması da çox vaxt aparır. Radioqrafiya növü isə onun digər bir qoludur və daha çox qaynaq işlərində istifadə edilir [4]. Maqnit nəzarət metodu isə daha çox tərkibi ferromaqnit olan materiallarda inspeksiya işlərinə baxmaq üçün istifade edilir. Qeyd etdiyim kimi istifadə edilən metodlar ənənəvi metodlar hesab edilir və onlar bir çox hallarda radiasiya şualarından istifadə edildiyi üçün insan həyatına təhlükə yarada bilər. Həmçinin avadanlığı diaqnostika etmək üçün lazim olan qurguların quraşdırılması çox vaxt aparır və ümumilikdə gedən proseslerin işini dayandırır. Bunların qarşısını almaq üçün son zamanlar yeni təkmilləşmiş metodların inkişafına çox fikir verilir. Bunlara misal ultrasəs şüaları göndərməklə avadanlıgın daxili hissələrinin inspeksiyasını misal göstərə bilərik [5,6].

Authors: M. Vincent Emmanuel , Théro Héloïse , Shabayek Shaden
Published: June 2022

Facebook has claimed to fight misinformation notably by reducing the virality of posts shared by “repeat offender” websites. The platform recently extended this policy to groups. We identified websites and groups that repeatedly publish false information according to fact checkers and investigated the implementation and impact of Facebook’s measures against them. Our analysis reveals a significant reduction in engagement per article/post following the publication of two or more “false” links. These results highlight the need for systematic investigation of web platforms’ measures designed to limit the spread of misinformation to better understand their effectiveness and consequences.

Zeichen, Wappen, Namen: Traditionelle Identifikationsmerkmale und Quellen zur Sprachwissenschaft und zur Landeskunde
Authors: HOLZAPFEL Otto
Published: June 2022

Steinmetzzeichen, eckig und markant wie Runen, gehören zu den frühesten Kennzeichnungen von Bausteinen an den Kirchen. Damit kennzeichnete der Bauhandwerker sein Werkstück. Häuser bekamen in einer mittelalterlichen Stadt wie Freiburg im Breisgau Hausnamen, mit denen auch ihre Bewohner identifiziert wurden. Sie erzählen oft die Geschichte des Hauses und der Menschen, die darin lebten; Hausnummern wurden später anonym vergeben. Hauswappen bedienten sich der gleichen Heraldik wie die Wappen des Adels, und dem Hausnamen der Stadt entspricht noch heute der Hofname auf dem Dorf. Im Haus spielte oft die Frau die „tonangebende“ Rolle; das belegen auch die Hausnamen. Hofnamen orientieren sich zumeist an der Umgebung und an den Gegebenheiten des Dorfes; wir betrachten ein Beispiel aus dem Schwarzwald. Aus diesen Formen haben sich viele Familiennamen entwickelt, in erster Linie widerspiegeln Familiennamen Berufe. Die Namensforschung findet ebenso reiches Quellenmaterial in den Genealogien des Adels und in deren Adelswappen. Aber auch bürgerliche Wappen erzählen Familiengeschichte in vielfältiger Weise. Mit „Brief und Siegel“ (eine Redensart), mit dem Wappensiegel und mit der als authentisch bezeichneten Unterschrift, wurden Dokumente beglaubigt, Briefe versiegelt. Briefe sind zudem eine beachtliche Quelle für die Beschreibung des Alltagslebens früherer Generationen. Schließlich führt das Beispiel des Staatswappens der Ukraine zurück zu den anfangs erwähnten runenähnlichen Zeichen, nämlich Besitzerkennzeichen aus den frühen Wikingersiedlungen im späteren Russland.

Authors: Odedokun Solomon Adekunle
Published: June 2022

Career resilience entails developing and utilizing positive responses when one faces with challenges in one’s place of work. Nigeria prison officers are faced with several challenges which include, few number of prison officers compare with a larger population of inmates in congested prisons across the country, inadequate funding, flaw on the extant prison laws, lack of rehabilitative and correctional facilities, ever-increasing problems of prison administration, corruption among few high ranking officers, the prison system which was designed for correction of prison inmates through counselling, rehabilitations and reform of inmates, has turned out to be a breeding ground for hardened criminals who become worse than they were when they got into prison. In today’s world it has become very important in any organisation prison inclusive to have innovative ideas and be creative on how to overcome the challenges so as to be efficient and productive in one’s day to day activities. This study, therefore, investigated the influence of emotional intelligence, job satisfaction and mentoring support on the career resilience of Correctional officers in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design and purposive sampling in the selection of two hundred prison officers. Three research questions were raised and answered in the study. The variables were measured with relevant standardized instruments. These include: Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS), Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS), Mentoring Support Scale (MSS) and Career Resilience Scale (CRS). Data from the study were analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and multiple regression analysis (ANOVA). The finding showed that there was a significant relationship between the dependent and independents variables. Emotional intelligence is the most potent contributor to career resilience followed by job satisfaction and mentoring support. Based on the findings of this study, recommendations and suggestions were offered to various stakeholders.

Authors:   The First Hospital of China Medical University, Wang He , Chen Jun , Wang Xiaoling , Dang Jun
Published: June 2022

Review question / Objective: It remains unclear whether addition of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) or neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) can increase antitumor efficacy in resectable esophageal cancer (EC). we performed the systematic review and meta-analysis to assess antitumor efficacy and safety of nICRT and nICT, and made a comparison with nCRT and nICT. We used pathological complete response (pCR) as the primary outcomes of interest. Condition being studied: Initial findings from a number of phase 1 or 2 trials have supported the tolerability and/or antitumor efficacy of ICI plus nICRT (nICRT) and nICT (nICT). However, the superiority of this combination strategy remains uncertain due to lack of randomized control trials (RCTs) with long-term outcomes. Moreover, there are still outstanding questions such as the selection of nICRT or nICT, the ideal predictive biomarkers, and timing of surgical resection.

Published: June 2022

Leptocoris augur is a pest of Kusum plant, (Schleichera oleosa), which in turn is a host of Lac insect. This bug is a gregarious feeder and by its desapping habit loss the viability of seeds (Dhiman and Gulati, 1986). It is parasitized by a mermithid nematode, Hexamermis vishwakarma Dhiman, which naturally checks rapid built up of bug population. Emergence, of parasitic juveniles occurs through weak body point having thin arthrodial membranes such as tergal joints, pleuron membrane of abdomen, cervical membrane of neck, coxal joint with thorax, wing axiliaries and genitalia. Least preferred points include occular sclerite, antennal socket, scape and pedical joint of antenna, anal segments (post genital segments) and anal aperture (Figure 1). These points are selected randomly by trial-and-error pattern by the parasitic stage. Once parasitic development is completed, then this stage has to come out of the host body to enter into soil for moulting into adult to resume next generation.

Published: June 2022

Background: Perioperative patient monitoring and follow-up is very important to minimize morbidity and mortality in pediatric neurosurgical interventions.

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the perioperative anesthesia management by examining the findings of the pediatric patients who underwent cranial surgery along with to examine the effects of hemorrhagic surgical procedures, which play an active role in morbidity, both intraoperatively and postoperatively, including hospitalization in intensive care unit.

Methods: Follow-up files of 303 pediatric patients between the ages of 0-18, who were taken to cranial operation, between 2015-2018 years evaluated as retrospectively.

Results: A total of 303 children 199 (65.7%) ≤1 year old, 104 (34.3%) >1 year old who underwent pediatric neurosurgery were included in our study. It was determined that the most frequently performed operation was shunting due to hydrocephalus and craniosynostosis. In subanalysis, in craniosynostosis operations performed frequently in infants aged ≤1, it was observed that bleeding amount was as much as subdural and epidural hematoma operations performed in children >1 year old (181ml and 196 ml, p =0.444, respectively). There was no difference between groups in intensive care unit admission.

Conclusıons: We think that in pediatric neurosurgery patients' perioperative anesthesia management, it is important to closely monitor the vital signs of patients, to record complications and blood transfusions in detail. We believe that due to the more aggressive duration of hypotensive processes, more attention should be paid to morbidity and mortality, especially in cases of craniosynostosis.

Comparison of Malondialdehyde and Reduced Glutathione in Some Rat Tissues in Hypoxia and Obesity
Authors: DAĞ Meral
Published: June 2022

Objective: Obesity is an important global public health problem that is associated with many chronic diseases and is increasing day by day in our country as well as in the world. The aim of this study is to compare malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH) in some rat tissues due to obesity and hypoxia.

Material and Methods: In our study 24 male Sprague Dawley rats were used. Rats were divided into four groups (n:6) as standard diet/normal oxygen, standard diet/low oxygen, high-fat diet/normal oxygen, and high-fat diet/low oxygen. For the study, a special cage with low oxygen level of 17-18% in the closed system was used. Weight gain of 20-25% was achieved in obese rats. MDA and GSH levels were measured in liver, kidney and brain organ tissues of rats.

Results: In our study it was determined that there were significant increases in the amount of MDA and GSH. It was observed that MDA and GSH had a protective effect against hypoxia and obesity in liver and brain tissue, but not in kidney tissue.

Conclusion: As a result of our research we think that MDA and GSH may support the current criteria in the diagnosis and/or treatment of obesity and will contribute greatly to more comprehensive analyzes to be made in the future.
Radioactively Powered Gamma-Ray Transient Associated with a Kilonova from Neutron Star Merger

Published: June 2022

The association of GW170817/GRB 170817A/AT2017gfo provides the first direct evidence for neutron star mergers as significant sources of r-process nucleosynthesis. A gamma-ray transient (GRT) would be powered by the radioactive decay of the freshly synthesized r-process elements. By analyzing the composition and gamma-ray opacity of the kilonova ejecta in detail, we calculate the lightcurve and spectrum of the GRT for a range of spherically symmetric merger ejecta models with mass M
ej = 0.001 to ∼0.05M
⊙ and expansion velocity v
ej = 0.1c to ∼0.4c. It is found that the peak of the GRT lightcurve depends on M

. Most radiating photons are in the 100–3000 keV band and the spectrum peaks at about 800 keV for different nuclear physics inputs. The line features are blurred out by the Doppler broadening effect. Adopting the ejecta parameters reported in the literature, we examine the detection probability of the possible GRT associated with AT2017gfo. We show that the GRT cannot be convincingly detected with either current or proposed missions in the MeV band, such as ETCC and AMEGO. The low gamma-ray flux, together with the extremely low event rate at local universe, makes a discovery of GRTs a great challenge.

BACKGROUND: Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk to develop GIT complications such as intestinal wall edema and increased permeability which contributes to chronic systemic inflammation that increases morbidity and mortality burden.

AIM: This study aim was to show the relationship between inflammation and increased intestinal permeability in children on hemodialysis (HD).

METHODS: The study included 50 children with CKD on regular HD of variable duration; their age range was (5−16) years and 40 controls. They were followed up at Nephrology clinic- Eldemerdash hospital. Complete history taking, physical examination were done. Laboratory measurement in the form of zonulin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) were quantified in serum by ELISA method.

RESULTS: There was a highly significant decrease in anthropometric measures (weight, height and BMI) and their corresponding z score in cases compared to controls with p ≤ 0.001. Furthermore, there was significant increase of levels of zonulin, TNF-alpha, AAT, and hs-CRP in cases compared to controls with p value of 0.009, 0.001, 0.002, and 0.003, respectively. There was significant positive correlation between zonulin and (TNF-alpha, AAT, hs-CRP, and creatinine) with P values (0.003, 0.001, 0.001, and 0.001), respectively. Zonulin is negatively correlated with weight for age Z score (WAZ) and height with p value (0.01 and 0.018), respectively. TNF-alpha and hs-CRP were negatively correlated with WAZ with P-values of 0.02 and 0.01, respectively.

CONCLUSION: Children with CKD on chronic hemodialysis had elevated levels of zonulin, TNF-alpha, hs-CRP, and AAT which reflects gut permeability induced systemic inflammatory state.

The Chi-square test and survival analysis with the log-rank test and Kaplan–Meier methods were used to analyze the data. The SPSS version 15 was used to analyze the data.

RESULTS: The serum ferritin cutoff point for COVID-19 patients that can be used to predict poor outcomes was >651.02 ng/mL with sensitivity 79.3%, specificity 80.5%, and accuracy 85.0%. Age, comorbid diabetes mellitus, number of comorbidities, symptoms of trouble breathing, oxygen saturation, severity, and mortality outcome were all associated to ferritin levels >651.02 ng/mL. The Kaplan–Meier curve showed that ferritin levels >651.02 ng/mL were associated for risk of poor outcome COVID-19 patients (HR = 8.84, [95% CI 3.59–21.73]).

CONCLUSION: The ferritin cutoff point for predicting poor prognosis in COVID-19 patients was 651.02 ng/mL. However, ferritin serum levels cannot be used as a single predictor in determining the poor outcome of COVID-19.

BACKGROUND: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has forcefully entered our lives and profoundly changed the perception and habits of the world population since the December 2019. AIM: The aims of this study were to presents the epidemiology data and clinical characteristic aspect of patients suspected with COVID-19 and analyzed in the American laboratory in Tirana, Albania from August 2020 to March 2021. METHODS: This study includes 1205 suspected cases for SARS COVID-19. Professionally trained health workers collected the samples from suspected patients by using synthetic fiber swabs. Double specimens from nasopharyngeal and pharyngeal swabs were collected from each of person. A standard questionnaire about the demographic and clinical data was filled for each person. The software SPSS version 22.0 was used for analyzing all data and also the examination findings. RESULTS: The prevalence of SARS COVID-19 resulted to be 31.1%. The average age resulted 42.17 ± 18.6. The most predominant positive age resulted the age groups 31–40 years old and 41–50 years old with positivity 17.3% and 16.3%, respectively, with significant association p = 0.01. Male were the most analyzed and affected persons (61.6%) in this study with a strong significant association p = 0.0004. It turned out that more than half of patients refereed at least two symptoms in the same time of analyze and about 1/3 refereed more than three symptoms. We found an association for presence of all typical symptoms with positivity except the temperature. We identified that for all of these symptoms, the p value resulted less than 0.05. CONCLUSION: SARS COVID-19 in the early stages of the disease is highly contagious. For this reason, the screening of people with symptoms is recommended to determine who should be quarantined and be tested. In this manner, we can decrease the rate of infection and protect healthy people from infection.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral pneumonia infection that spreads rapidly globally (with a number of cases > 15,000,000 worldwide and mortality of ±4%) until it is designated a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). One of the complications of COVID-19 is the incidence of coagulopathy and thromboembolism. The coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, activates inflammatory and thrombotic processes. Coagulopathy and abnormal coagulation parameters are indicated among the most significant biomarkers of poor prognosis in COVID-19 patients. COVID-19-associated coagulopathy is characterized by a decreased platelet count and the presence of a cytokine storm indicating an extreme hypercoagulable state. This study aims to determine the coagulation profile of moderate-severe patients and outcomes in COVID-19 patients
Methods: The study was conducted in a hospital in Makassar: Infection Center RS. Wahidin Sudirohusodo. Medical Record Data for all inpatients who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 through the RT-PCR test taken from January 2021-August 2021.Statistical tests in the form of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to assess the Normality of the Data, Chi-Square test, and the calculation of the out ratio (OR) Mann-Whitney test, Independent T-Test. Multivariate analysis was carried out using a Multiple Logistic Regression-Backward Wald Method. The results of the statistical test were significant if the p-value <0.05.
 
Results:
The research subjects were 231 patients with confirmed COVID-19. The mean PT, D-Dimer, and Fibrinogen were higher in severe COVID-19 than moderate COVID-19 and had significant results. While PLT did not have significant results against moderate-severe COVID-19. The relationship between groups of coagulation marker variables was found to have a significant relationship with moderate to severe COVID-19. 4.     All coagulation markers were significantly related to the outcome (p<0.05). The mean value of each variable was found to be greater in patients with outcomes who died
 
Conclusion:
There was an increase in all coagulation markers in moderate to severe COVID-19 except for PLT which was not significant. All coagulation markers are significantly related to outcome

Authors: Isaraj Sokol , Bendo Lorela
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Background
Reconstruction of nasal defects represents a significant challenge in reconstructive surgery, due to nose’s delicate anatomy, combined with its functional and aesthetic relevance. Radical tumor excision, function preservation and a pleasing aesthetic outcome are the primary targets. The reconstructive approach will depend on the aesthetic subunit involved, size and depth of the defect. We describe our experience in the reconstruction of nasal skin defects of the tip, columella, alae, with a 2-stage nasolabial flap.
Patients and Methods
After institutional review board approval, a retrospective study was performed including consecutive patients (n=489) who underwent surgery for skin cancer of the nose, from 2016 to 2020 at the Service of Burns and Plastic Surgery, “Mother Theresa” University Hospital Center, of Tirana.
Results
The procedures were well tolerated and achieved good cosmetic results without complications.
Conclusions
The nasolabial 2-stage based flap is a well-established technique for nasal reconstruction after skin cancer removal. It represents one of the best methods for repair of extensive nasal defects, particularly for restoration of defects located on the tip, alae, or columella.

Published: June 2022

AIM: The aim of this study was to prepare solid dispersion of tenoxicam with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) to improve solubility, dissolution rate, and in vivo analgesic activity. METHODS: Solid dispersion of tenoxicam with HPMC was prepared using the freeze-drying technique in three ratios of drug to carrier (1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 w/w). The s olid-state properties of solid dispersion powders were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Solubility and dissolution rate studies were conducted in an aqueous medium. Analgesic activity was evaluated using the writhing method. RESULTS: Analysis of PXRD and DSC results indicated a decreased degree of crystallinity of tenoxicam in solid dispersion powders. Solid dispersion of tenoxicam exhibited a significant improvement in solubility and dissolution rate compared to intact tenoxicam, in line to the increment on the ratio of HPMC. Analgesic activity study revealed that solid dispersion 1:2 was more effective than intact tenoxicam. CONCLUSIONS: This study concludes that the solid dispersion technique is a promising strategy to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of tenoxicam.

Variants of COVID-19 have sparked controversy regarding mask and/or vaccine mandates in some sectors of the country. Many people hold polarized opinions about such mandates, and it is uncertain what predicts attitudes towards these protective behavior mandates. Through a snow-ball sampling procedure of respondents on social media platforms, this study examined skepticism of 774 respondents toward these mandates as a function of the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) of health. Hierarchical linear regressions examined Protection Motivation (PM) as a predictor of mask and vaccine mandate skepticism independently and with political party affiliation as a control. PM alone accounted for 76% of the variance in mask mandate skepticism, p < 0.001 and 65% in vaccine mandate skepticism, p < 0.001. When political affiliation was entered (accounting for 28% of the variance in mask mandate skepticism, p < 0.001, and 26% in vaccine mandate skepticism, p < 0.001), PM still accounted for significant percentages of variance in both mask (50%) and vaccine (43%) mandate skepticism, ps < 0.001. Across regressions, perceived severity, outcome efficaciousness, and self-efficacy each directly accounted for unique variance in mask and vaccine mandate skepticism, ps < 0.001; only perceived vulnerability failed to account for unique variance in the regressions, ps > 0.05. Specifically, the more severe participants perceived COVID-19 to be and the greater the perceived efficacy of masks and vaccines preventing the spread of COVID-19, the lower participants' skepticism toward mask and vaccine mandates. Similarly, the higher participants' self-efficacy in wearing masks or receiving the vaccine, the lower their skepticism toward mask and vaccine mandates.

Authors: Nawarat Jiraphat , Chaipinyo Kanda
Published: June 2022

Objectives: This study was conducted to develop the Mobility to Participation Assessment Scale for Stroke (MPASS) and assess its content validity, internal consistency, inter-rater and intra-rater reliability, and convergent validity in people with stroke living in the community.Methods: The MPASS was developed using published data on mobility-related activity and participation timing in elderly individuals, and then reviewed by community physical therapists. Content validity was established by reaching a consensus of experienced physical therapists in a focus group. The MPASS was scored for 32 participants with stroke (mean age 61.75±4.92 years) by 3 individual testers. Reliability was examined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), internal consistency using the Cronbach alpha coefficient (α), and convergent validity using the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) to compare the MPASS to the Modified Rivermead Mobility Index as a referent test of mobility.Results: The MPASS consists of 8 items, and its scoring system provides information on the ability of people with stroke to reach a movement level enabling them to live in society, including interactions with other people and safe living in the community. The inter-rater and intra-rater reliability were excellent (ICC, 0.948; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.893 to 0.982 and ICC, 0.967; 95% CI, 0.933 to 0.989, respectively). Internal consistency was good (α=0.877). The convergent validity was moderate (r=0.646; p<0.001).Conclusions: The newly developed MPASS showed acceptable construct validity and high reliability. The MPASS is suitable for use in people with stroke, especially those who have been discharged and live in the community with the ability to initiate sitting.

Published: June 2022

The role of educators in public university is more than teaching in the classroom. An educator is responsible for teaching students and contributes to their learning development. In fulfilling the job responsibilities, many educators often ignore the practice of self-care and stress management. The lack of awareness to take care of the emotional aspects can lead to high levels of stress that affect educators' health and well-being, causing burnout, lack of engagement, job dissatisfaction, and poor performance. Having a good self-care and effective stress management may result in an excellent work performance and increases motivation in teaching and learning. Educators need to understand the stress phenomenon including the causes and effects as well as the coping strategy.

Authors: Ramanathan Chandrashekar
Published: June 2022

The outcome-based education and Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (UN) envision positive changes in students that can make them employable. Despite numerous methods of assessments used all across the world, robust assessment tools are not available that can ensure the development of a set of skills in graduates that can demonstrate SLOs on par with global competencies and graduate attributes. Keeping in mind these challenges and opportunities, this chapter presents some novel ways in which technologies can be used in the teaching-learning process for evaluation and assessment of the learning outcomes of learners.

Outcome-based education (OBE) ensures the quality education by imparting professional and technical skills, attitude, behavior, and knowledge to solve the challenges faced by the society at large. In this direction, National Board of Accreditation (NBA) was established by AICTE in 1994 to assess and promote quality of professional education in India. In OBE, the graduates are expected to acquire skills, also called as program outcomes (POs), at the end of their professional program. POs reflect the ability of graduates to solve the challenges related to society. Since POs are defined at the program level, they are fine-grained to course outcomes (COs) at the course level. The graduates become employable if they attain the POs. One of the key drivers of learning is its effective assessment. In this chapter, the authors propose to bring in rubrics, assessment, and CO/PO attainment methods, which are useful to quantify the learning of a graduate. The PO attainment helps the institutions to initiate the remedial measures to improve the skillset of the students and thereby their employability.

Published: June 2022

With the paradigm shift towards digitally enabled, skill-focused, synchronous-asynchronous learning models being tested and deployed across various higher education institutions and universities across the globe, it is imperative and an essential element of the future of education and skilling. A holistic approach will bring about the necessary quality and improve the technology implementation to enable better outcomes. As hybrid/blended learning approach is evolving as the new pedagogy especially in the higher education segment worldwide; this chapter envisages to embrace technology in five dimensions—intelligent tutoring system (ITS) or adaptive learning, education management information system (EMIS), research-based learning (RBL), degree of automation, and IT security/ethics and privacy—towards arriving at a maturity assessment model for evaluation of EdTech, driven by artificial intelligence (AI), for adoption in higher education institutions. This would catalyze enhancement of outcome-based education (OBE).
