An Empirical Study on the Impact of Regional Population Age Structure on Urban and Rural Economic Growth
Authors: Wu Chien-Hsien , , Hsu Tzu-Kuang
Published: October 2022

Whilst the shift in population structure remains one of the pivotal factors influencing urban and rural economic growth, a thorough probe into the relationship between the two is of important significance for beefing up economic growth in both urban and rural areas. On the basis of the results of literature analysis, this paper analyzes the theories related to regional population structure and urban and rural economic growth, builds an analysis model of the impact of regional population structure on urban and rural economic growth, and selects Fujian Province as the research object, combining multiple linear regression to carry out empirical analysis. Our results reveal that the shift in population structure would boost economic growth to a certain extent, yet due attention must be paid to improving the quality of population in order to avoid the decline in economic growth rate caused by the increase in old-age dependency ratio.

Authors: Hutagalung Johannes Martua
Published: October 2022

One of the advantages of the REA model is that the relative activation energy equation obtained from the experimental data can be used for other drying conditions with the same initial material and moisture content. Through convective data, an equation of activation energy is obtained which will be used for drying the data using a microwave. The simulation carried out is to compare the model data with experimental data of a microwave with a power of 0.25 W/g and a drying air temperature of 50 0C, then a power of 0.7 W/g and a drying temperature of 70 0C. increasing with microwave, the higher the value of the heat transfer coefficient (h) the simulation results are getting closer to the experimental data for the initial period of development, even making experimental data with increasing time.
Optimasi Pengolahan Limbah Cair Textile Menggunakan Metode Sono-Fenton
Authors: Rizkiah Riza , Luciana Luciana
Published: October 2022

The textile and textile product (TPT) industry is one of the mainstay commodities that drive the economy in Indonesia. Export market opportunities are very open for this commodity, but the current problem is the waste generated from this industry. PT.Vonex is a textile industry with spinning and dyeing products. Textile liquid waste produced has a very concentrated color characteristic and when the dye enters the waters it can cover the surface of the water body so as to block sunlight from entering the waters. Textile wastewater treatment with the sono-Fenton method as DCA (Decolorizing Agent) can be used as an alternative choice in overcoming these problems. In this study, an analysis of the reduction of the dye was carried out by using variations in the concentration of Fenton's reagent and the length of sonication time. The variations in the concentration of Fenton's reagent used were 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, and 6:1 while the sonication time used variations of 10, 30, 60 and 90 minutes. The test results show that the use of Fenton's reagent assisted by ultrasonic waves (sonication) in textile wastewater treatment can reduce the levels of color values, pH, COD, BOD, and TSS. The results showed that the variation of Fenton reagent concentration 1:1 with a sonication time of 30 minutes was the optimum condition with a percentage decrease in color value of 99.61%, a decrease in pH value of 68.94%, a decrease in COD value of 90.64%, a decrease in BOD levels by 97.48%, and a decrease in TSS levels by 91.28%.

Published: October 2022

The process of sewing the front body of an order for H&M Pajamas Jogger Pants has a fairly high quality, but the target for setting production targets is based on experience and estimates only. The setting of a fairly high production target of 640 pcs/day is often not achieved because the determination of the production target is not based on the level of difficulty of the work carried out by the operator (easy, medium, or difficult), the operator's skill as well as the condition of the machine used in the process. condition is good or not, so that the target set is often not achieved because it is not in accordance with the condition of the operator's ability in general. Based on the observation of the operator's working time measurement, the total standard time for the 26 manufacturing processes for the front body component of the order of H&M Pajamas Jogger Pants was 23,029 minutes. After getting the total standard time for making the front body component of the order for these H&M Pajamas Jogger Pants, a new production target can be determined, which is 542 pcs/day. This new production target is made to represent the general working conditions of operators and has taken into account the factors of slack, work fatigue and other unavoidable obstacles.

Marketing activities require effective ways of communicating so that products can be introduced by companies, organizations, institutions or communities to their targeted market.The attitudes and consumer behavior in obtaining products or services can be measured by the AISAS analysis model (attention, interest, search, action and share). In order to attract new students, the private education institution Kosgoro Institute of Business and Informatics (IBI-1957) has applied a digital marketing communications strategies. The focus of this study is to analyze the IBI-K57 digital marketing communications in influencing the AISAS behavior among new students when seeking information about the campus activities. The sub focus of this research is to find out and measure the level of student interest in AISAS (attention, interest, search, action and share) when making decisions to enter.  This research utilise the campus digital marketing communications, namely: trustworthiness and expertise, combined with the AISAS method. Furthermore, the quantitative methodology of the positivistic paradigm of the sociopsychological communication tradition, which accompanied by simple linear regression analysis, is also applied. Sampling of the survey was carried out using a random technique. Each program studies is given 20 samples of questionnaire with a Likert scale. The total number of questioners  is 120.The ANOVA value of 0.000 (<0.05) in this study shows there are changes in student attitudes and behavior in selecting the program study. The average behavioral aspect of AISAS is below 4, so it can be included in the  ‘almost good' category.This study shows that digital marketing communications has influenced students’ AISAS (behavioral attitudes), which is 36.4%. The remaining value (60.4%) is coming from other aspects outside the digital marketing communications. In summary, this research shows that there is a significant and positive influences of digital marketing communications applied by IBI-K57 on the attitudes and behavior (AISAS) of students when determining final decision to study in this institution. Furthermore, this study also shows that digital marketing communications has contributed to a twofold attitude change among students in deciding their decision to enter and select courses at IBI-K57.

Poor quality of life and functioning in euthymic mood disorders
Authors: KOCAKAYA Hanife , HARMANCI Hatice , YÖRÜBULUT Serap
Published: October 2022

Aim: This study’s aim is to examine the relationship between clinical/demographic characteristics the quality of life (QOL) and functionality in patients with mood disorders.

Material and Method: Total of 280 participants, including participants with bipolar disorder I (BD I), bipolar disorder II (BD II) major depressive disorder (MDD) in remission, and healty control subjects (HC), were included. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument Short Form Scale (WHOQOL-BREF), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), and General Functioning Assessment Scale (GAF) were used. The data were evaluated with the SPSS 25.0 statistical program.

Results: Compared with HC, patients with MDD had the lowest scores in the QOL total and subdomain scores (p=.001). There was a significant negative correlation between the QOL scores and the BDI scores, but there was a positive correlation between the educational level and the total QOL and social, enviromental domain scores. There was a significant negative correlation between the total QOL and physical domain and the number of depressive episodes. There was a significant negative correlation between the social domain and the number of hospitalizations, but there was a significant positive correlation between the physical, enviromental domain scores and the age of first episode.

Conclusion: QOL between MDD is lower than that of BD. Educational level, number of depressive episodes and hospitalizations, suicide attemps, age of first episode, and BDI scores correlated with QOL. Additionally, it was determined that the main factor affecting the QOL was residual depressive symptoms rather than type of mood disorder.
Increased QT dispersion and related factors in patients with systemic sclerosis
Authors: SOYSAL GÜNDÜZ Özgül , ARMAGAN Kezban
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death may occur as a result of ventricular myocardial fibrosis or ischemia in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). QT prolongation and QT dispersion, which facilitate the development of ventricular fibrillation, are important cardiac problems associated with increased mortality. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of corrected QT dispersion (cQTD) and related factors in our patients with systemic sclerosis compared to healthy controls.
Material and Method: The 12-lead electrocardiograms with a rate of 25 mm/s of patients with no previous history of cardiovascular disease and controls were analyzed. cQTD was defined as the difference between the maximum QT interval and the minimum QT interval. Nailfold capillaroscopy examination was performed. Disease activity was evaluated using revised European Scleroderma Study Group activity index.
Results: Forty-nine SSc patients (45 females, mean age 53.26±10.63 years, and disease duration 8.0 (1-25) years) and 41 controls (37 females, mean age 49.29±8.02 years) were included. While the frequency of smoking was significantly higher in controls (p=0.025), erythrocyte sedimentation rate was higher in patients (p<0.001). cQTD was significantly higher in the patient group compared to the control group (65.14±17.57 ms and 42.73±10.03 ms, respectively, p<0.001). A significant positive correlation was found between erythrocyte sedimentation rate and cQTD in the patient group. We found no association between cQTD and disease activity, medications, anti-SSA/Ro positivity, capillaroscopy paterns, presence of interstitial lung disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Conclusion: In our study, cQTD, which indicates an increased risk for ventricular arrhythmia and cardiovascular mortality, was found to be significantly higher in the patients compared to the controls. Determining cardiac risks with an electrocardiogram, which is a non-invasive and easily available method, is important in the follow-up of SSc patients.
Pain management in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: an observational analysis
Authors: POLAT Esra , YÜCE Elif İlkay , DONDURMACI Engin , DEMİR Mehmet Cihat
Published: October 2022

Aim: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is one of the most severe forms of pain. However, the guidelines give quite a few places for pain control in STEMI and, do not offer strong recommendations on this issue. This study aimed to reveal which medications are given to STEMI patients for pain control until they arrive at the catheter laboratory, in which situations they are used, and the frequency of use.

Material and Method: A total of 272 consecutive STEMI patients were prospectively collected. Medications were administered to the patients until they arrived at the angiography laboratory; vital signs, comorbidities, referral status, infarction types, the time between the onset of pain and the admission to the emergency department, and the door-balloon time were also noted. The patients’ pain characteristics and intensity were evaluated.

Results: It was observed that 96.3% of the patients presented with chest pain. The pain of diabetic patients was severe according to the visual analog scale (VAS) score (p=0.023). It was witnessed that 9.92% of the patients were administered drugs for analgesic purposes. The most commonly administered medication was paracetamol. It was noticed that morphine was used frequently after paracetamol. Medication administration for analgesia was more common in referred patients (p=0.040).

Conclusion: Physicians behave timidly in their clinical practice in pain control of STEMI and move away from the guideline. In terms of comfort and hemodynamic stabilization of the patients, it will be beneficial for the applications in the field to give more place to the treatments for pain control in the guidelines.
A Christological Reflection on Papa Yaw Johnson’s “Fa wo ntoma bɛbɔ me deɛ ano”
Authors: Boaheng Isaac
Published: October 2022

Africans express most of their religious beliefs in oral and symbolic forms. Music is one of the major sources of African theology and traditional wisdom. As the church in Africa strives to decolonize the Christian faith, African theologians must explore various means by which oral and symbolic theologies can contribute to the overall theology of the church. The present paper contributes to this theological exploration by examining key socioreligious ideas embedded in Papa Yaw Johnson’s “Fa wo ntoma bɛbɔ me deɛ ano”, a popular Ghanaian dirge. This paper used a literary analysis research approach to analyze the selected dirge. It began with the general concept of death and continued to consider dirges in the context of Ghanaian funerals. After offering a socio-linguistic analysis of the dirge, the paper offered a Christological reflection based on two key thematic areas: Nkwamafoɔ Christology and Nyansaboakwa Christology. The main thesis of the paper is that Jesus, through his life, ministry, death and resurrection, has reversed Adam’s actions that placed humanity under the power of sin and death. Therefore, with Christ at the centre of life, one should not fear (physical) death.

Published: October 2022

Images taken by space telescopes typically have a superb spatial resolution, but a relatively poor sampling rate due to the finite CCD pixel size. Beyond the Nyquist limit, it becomes uncertain how much the pixelation effect may affect the accuracy of galaxy shape measurement. It is timely to study this issue given that a number of space-based large-scale weak lensing surveys are planned. Using the Fourier_Quad method, we quantify the shear recovery error as a function of the sampling factor Q, i.e., the ratio between the FWHM of the point-spread function (PSF) and the pixel size of the CCD, for different PSFs and galaxies of different sizes and noise levels. We show that sub-percent-level accuracy in shear recovery is achievable with single-exposure images for Q ≲ 2. The conclusion holds for galaxies much smaller than the PSF, and those with a significant level of noise.

Aluminum and silicon are present in large quantities in the interstellar medium, making the triatomic species consisting of both elements intriguing with regard to the foundations of astrochemistry. Spectroscopic parameters have been calculated via high-level ab initio methods to assist with laboratory and observational detection of [Al, O, Si]
x
(x = 0,+1). All [Al, O, Si]
x
(x = 0,+1) isomers exist in the linear geometry, with linear AlOSi (X 2Π) and linear AlOSi+ (X
1Δ) being the most stable neutral and cationic species, respectively. Formation of the neutral species most likely occurs via reaction of AlO/SiO on an Si/Al dust grain surface, respectively. The cation molecules may form via ion–neutral reaction or as a consequence of photoionization. The rotational frequencies of linear AlOSi (X 2Π) have been calculated using vibrationally corrected rotational constants and centrifugal distortion to lead experimental and observational radio detection. The rotational frequencies are discussed for three temperatures indicative of various astronomical environments: the central circumstellar envelope (CSE) (100 K), outer CSE (30 K), and the interstellar medium (3 K). At 100 K, the lines originating from J′ > 30 are the best candidates for detection via ground-based telescope. Anharmonic vibrational analysis revealed various Fermi resonances that may complicate the vibrational spectrum of linear AlOSi (X 2Π). Finally, electronic spectroscopy may be the best means for laboratory detection of linear AlOSi (X
2Π), due to the presence of two overlapping electronic transitions with large oscillator strengths occurring at approximately 250 nm.
BOVEDA, the Bolivian Vegetation Ecology Database: first stage, the Chacoan forests
Authors: Oliveira Jaime , Molina José Antonio , Navarro Gonzalo
Published: October 2022

Bolivia is a country exceptionally rich in biodiversity and home to about 20,000 vascular plant species and 15 plant formations. Therefore, it is particularly important to document the biodiversity of this territory. The aim of the Bolivian Vegetation Ecology Database (BOVEDA; GIVD ID SA-BO-005) is to record floristic and ecological data of Bolivian vegetation. In the first stage, the database hosts 320 relevés from one of the most unique biogeographical units in the country, the Chaco. In total, 633 species belonging to 114 families have been recorded. Data on vegetation structure, soil, flooding regime and geomorphology have also been stored. The following nine vegetation structural types were identified: (1) deciduous forests of alluvial plains on well to moderately well drained soils; (2) deciduous to semideciduous Chaco forests transitional to the Andes; (3) deciduous and sclerophyllous Cerrado thorn-woodlands and shrublands transitional to the Chaco (Abayoy); (4) xeromorphic thorn shrubland and thickets on vertic, poorly drained soils; (5) woodlands and savannas on sand dunes and aeolian surfaces; (6) freshwater swamp forests; (7) saltwater swamp forests; (8) phreatophytic forests; (9) deciduous to semideciduous Chaco forests transitional to the Chiquitania. Further steps will be to incorporate new types of vegetation already recorded in the field such as Altiplano shrublands, Andean wetlands, Andean Polylepis forests, and vegetation of the dry inter-Andean valleys.

Motor Symptoms in Dementia With Lewy Bodies: Literature Review and Evidence-Based Management
Authors: Calveras Nil Saez , Salinas Meagen
Published: October 2022

Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a neurodegenerative disorder typified by symptoms in cognitive, behavioral, and motor domains. Management of these manifestations involves a delicate balance between targeting relief in some symptoms while avoiding exacerbations in others. This is often clinically challenging as the tradeoffs are intrinsic to the pathophysiologic processes for which we lack approved targeted interventions. Even for motor symptoms, the application of therapeutic strategies used in Parkinson's disease to DLB is fraught with nuance. This review delves into the distinguishing characteristics of motor symptoms in DLB, the nature of the tradeoffs
vis-à-vis
management of cognitive and behavioral manifestations, and the current evidence supporting available treatments. It concludes by surveying disease-modifying pharmacotherapies on the horizon and providing practical management considerations.

Fostering Scholarly Development in Nursing Science: The Promise of Dimensional Analysis
Authors: Whitney Clare , Evered Jane A.
Published: October 2022

Background:

Scholarly development in nursing science is a challenging process of academic evolution. In doctoral programs, students move from mastering technical research skills toward developing scholarly identities. This article explores the utility of dimensional analysis as a method of inquiry for nursing PhD students seeking to deepen their scholarly development when completing course assignments and reaching doctoral program milestones.

Method:

Using a brief case study, dimensional analysis was described as an interactionist method used to develop grounded theory and illustrate application of the method throughout a 3-year nursing PhD program.

Results:

Nursing PhD students have the opportunity to drive the depth of their own scholarly development through engaging with theory, method, and independent inquiry.

Conclusion:

Dimensional analysis holds promise for scholars to simultaneously develop methodological skill, derive situation-specific theory, ground a program of research, and anchor that program of research with theory and method.

StoryAid: Nursing Students' Relational Learning for Adolescents With Intellectual Learning Disabilities
Authors: Nash-Patel Theresa , Anderson Eli , O'Donoghue Bern , Paliokosta Paty , Morrow Elizabeth
Published: October 2022

Background:

Nursing students express fears and anxieties about caring for people with intellectual learning disabilities (ILDs). Educational storytelling interventions may help overcome these concerns and improve nursing care.

Method:

StoryAid was used and developed in the Heritage-2Health (H2H) Virtual Art and Drama Project. Eight online sessions followed a story about differences and connections. Two trained facilitators and three academic educators supported nursing students (
n
= 15), adolescents with ILDs (
n
= 7), their parents (
n
= 7), and a specialist teacher to deconstruct, reconnect, and rediscover understandings using rights-based ethnographic evaluation and thematic analysis.

Results:

Themes included relating to the story and characters, participating in the storytelling process, relating to other participants in the storytelling, and relating learning to clinical contexts and professionalism.

Conclusion:

The partnership of StoryAid and H2H created safe spaces for nursing students to engage, challenge assumptions, and develop relational skills.

Comptine, poésie pour les enfants et raison scolaire
Authors: Ménard Sophie
Published: October 2022

Cet article étudie les logiques initiatiques, socioculturelles et interdiscursives du poème d’Andrée Chedid « La mort du pou », publié dans le recueil Fêtes et Lubies, en 1973, en faisant l’hypothèse que celui-ci s’approprie des motifs, techniques, rythmes traditionnels de la comptine et qu’il est en dialogue avec l’imaginaire social d’un « français national scolaire », pour reprendre l’expression de Renée Balibar. C’est à l’étude des continuums et des tensions entre les oralités enfantines et la raison scolaire qu’est consacrée cette lecture ethnocritique.
Automatic Detection of Lung Cancer Using the Potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Authors: Pradhan Manaswini , Sahu Ranjit Kumar
Published: October 2022

The histopathology images are effective in identifying the location and level of cancer. In this chapter, a novel model is implemented for an automatic classification of histopathological images related to lung tissues. Initially, the color normalization technique is applied for improving the contrast of the histopathological images, which are acquired from the LC25000 lung histopathological image dataset. Additionally, the cancer segmentation is accomplished utilizing saliency driven region edge-based top-down level set (SDREL). Further, the feature descriptors—Alexnet and Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) features—were used for extracting the feature vectors from the segmented histopathology images. Lastly, the enhanced grasshopper optimization algorithm (EGOA) and random forest classifier were used for optimal feature selection and lung tissue classification. The simulation result shows that the EGOA-random forest model obtained 98.50% of accuracy on the LC25000 lung histopathological image dataset.
A Study on the Municipal Waste Management Practices of European Union Countries
Authors: Altın Fatma Gül
Published: October 2022

Industrialization, increasingly crowded cities, and the change in consumption habits have caused municipal waste to be an important part of sustainable development. In this study, the practices of EU countries regarding municipal waste management were evaluated using clustering and data envelopment analysis (DEA). The data set for 2019 was collected from Eurostat and eight variables were identified for the analyses. In the first stage, 28 EU countries were divided into four groups using eight variables and EM algorithm. In the second stage, the efficiency scores of the 28 EU countries' recovery and recycling practices were calculated using DEA. A single input and three outputs were determined for the DEA, and the overall, technical, and scale efficiency values were determined using the output-oriented DEA models. The findings show that countries that are efficient in terms of recovery and recycling practices are in the first and second clusters.
Climate Change
Authors: Karami Ezatollah , Keshavarz Marzieh
Published: October 2022

Climatic and anthropogenic changes have affected water availability, food security, poverty, and migration in many parts of the world. While there will be no return to the normal climate and living, in arid and semi-arid regions, climate change has reached a point that can be best described as a new normal. Since the past cannot provide adequate guidance for the future, to manage the new normal, past knowledge should be unlearned. New normal management is a non-linear, complex, and non-deterministic behavior that considers the non-routine and uncertain features of climate change. The potential application of new normal management was assessed through in-depth review of the literature and three cases in Iran. The findings revealed significant differences between the crisis and new normal management practices and consequences. Accordingly, new normal management is a promising approach in facing climate change. To integrate new normal management into practice, political will, mobilization of resources, unlearning and relearning, and multilateral coordination are required.
Teachers Taking the Lead to Help Children Cope With Stress Through the Use of Language and Cognitive Pedagogical Units
Authors: Medrano Carmen Adriana
Published: October 2022

This chapter will discuss how teachers use and further develop strategies to help children expand their cognitive abilities, improve oral language, and express their emotions. The work presented was done with young English language learners children ages 2 to 3, within a family childcare home (FCCH) setting in Miami Dade County. During the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers from family childcare homes noticed children with stress created by the many difficult situations their families were going through. The author developed a pedagogical unit based on the storybook called Wimberly Worries written by Kevin Henkes. This pedagogical unit used the teaching for understanding framework and visible thinking routines. It is the author's goal to present this work to inspire teachers in the creation of similar pedagogical units.
Utilizing Digital Storytelling Tools and Thinking Routines for Cultivating Multiliteracies in Contemporary Classrooms
Authors: Bratitsis Tharrenos , Melliou Kiriaki
Published: October 2022

Pedagogies that foster inclusion, diversity, and the celebration of difference are central in contemporary classrooms that are characterized by an ethnically diverse population with multiple learning styles and ranging abilities. A powerful and flexible venue for educators to address the complex literacy needs of all students is incorporating multimodalities into teaching that draw upon a variety of modes including visual, linguistic, gestural, oral, and spatial. The chapter offers theoretical foundations about the pedagogy of multiliteracy through digital storytelling and provides specific examples of tools and strategies such as thinking routines and story element creation tools that are framed within the Harvard's Project Zero's dispositional framework and the StoryLogicNet project. Using these frameworks and tools, the authors seek to contribute authentic examples on developing and advancing young students' multiliteracy skills for inside and outside the classroom.
“Twenty-Six Letters of the Forest Alphabet” or Community Social Learning Among the Ba'Aka in the Central African Republic
Authors: Markowska-Manista Urszula
Published: October 2022

The chapter discusses three areas of education for indigenous children from the Ba'Aka hunter-gatherer community in the CAR: public, formal education; private, missionary-run institutions; their traditional, collective education, metaphorically called “the forest alphabet.” Children used to be socialized into engaging with the forest-based on the relationship of reciprocal cooperation, protection, and justice. However, this relationship has become incongruent and undesirable in a reality dominated by developmental projects, deforestation, missionary activities, and environmental conservation initiatives. Each undermines indigenous epistemic rights and relationships with and claims to the land. Missionary and state education are shown as posing challenges to indigenous children, while particular attention is paid to forest education in terms of the social learning and engagement of Ba'Aka children in the environment in which they grow up, and in terms of their resistance and adaptation strategies in the face of these developments.
