Authors:   Department of Psychological and Educational Counseling, College of Educational Sciences, Jadara University, Irbid, Jordan, Maberah Shooroq
Published: February 2025

This study aimed to identify the professional competencies of family mediators and examine the relationship between these competencies and job engagement. A descriptive, correlational approach was used, employing two scales: the Professional Competencies Scale and the Job Engagement Scale. The sample included 237 individuals working in mediation and family conciliation offices within Jordanian courts in 2023. The findings showed that family mediators had moderate levels of professional competencies, while their job engagement was rated as high. No significant differences in professional competencies or job engagement were found based on gender, experience, or educational level. Additionally, the study revealed positive correlations between job engagement and the sub-dimensions of professional competencies. Based on these findings, the study offers several recommendations.
Personalizing a weight loss program with cognitive-behavioral phenotypes – effect on program engagement and weight loss: quasi-experimental study in a real-world setting (Preprint)
Authors: Szypula Joanna , Jarvstad Andreas , Jones Lucy , Tapper Katy
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Obesity remains a critical public health challenge, requiring innovative strategies to improve weight loss. Although preliminary evidence indicates that tailoring interventions to both cognitive and behavioral factors may enhance engagement and effectiveness, most research has focused on these elements in isolation. With the increasing scalability and convenience of digital weight loss programs, developing reliable methods for automated personalization has become essential. To address this, we constructed a questionnaire that assigns patients to cognitive-behavioral phenotypes, to enable tailored advice. This study evaluates the effectiveness of this approach in improving patient engagement and weight loss within a digital intervention.

OBJECTIVE

To assess whether sending personalized weight loss advice can increase program engagement and lead to greater weight loss.

METHODS

A quasi-experimental design was employed. Patients on a weight loss program were sent a 17-item questionnaire which matched them to one of four cognitive-behavioral profiles (phenotypes). Those who completed the questionnaire were sent phenotype-tailored weight loss advice once per week. As part of their weight loss program, patients used an app to track their meals and activities. Number of in-app events (i.e. engagements) was used as a proxy measure of program engagement. Self-reported weight was submitted as part of the structured weight loss program. Outcomes were compared to a historical cohort of patients who participated in the same weight loss program one year earlier, and those who were sent an invitation to complete the questionnaire but did not (i.e. non-responders).

RESULTS

Those who received phenotype-tailored advice generated significantly more in-app engagements (M=257, SD=232), than those in the historical cohort (M=159, SD=187; P<.001), and compared to non-responders (M=135, SD=198; P<.001). There was a trend towards greater weight loss for those who received the tailored advice (M=-2.23kg, SD=7.97), compared to the historical cohort (M=-1.6kg, SD=5.39), and the non-responders (M=-0.69kg, SD=13.23) but these differences were not significant, (P=.29 and P=.23, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS

This study provides preliminary evidence that receiving weight loss advice tailored to an individual’s cognitive-behavioral phenotype can increase engagement on a structured weight loss program, which could in turn support greater body mass reduction.
The Destructive Impact of Racism on African Americans in Alex Haley's Roots
Authors: Al-Nuaimi Mustafa Mohammed Rashid , Benny Assist. Prof. Dr. Solomon
Published: February 2025

Alex Haley’s Roots: The Saga of an American Family (1976) is a powerful narrative that traces the legacy of African Americans from their roots in Africa to the experience of slavery in America. This paper explores the destructive impact of racism on African Americans as depicted in Haley’s work. Focusing on the generational story of Kunta Kinte and his descendants, the paper analyzes how the institution of slavery dehumanized African Americans, stripped them of their identities, and perpetuated systemic oppression. It also examines the resilience of African Americans, emphasizing the struggle for freedom, identity, and self-determination. This paper aims to demonstrate how Roots not only provides a historical account of racism but also offers a broader reflection on the psychological and emotional scars left by slavery that continue to impact African American identity.

Published: February 2025

Improving critical thinking skills is imperative in 21st century education, especially at the Vocational High School (SMK) level. This article highlights the limited level of mastery of critical thinking among vocational school students, especially in the fields of engineering and the motorbike business. The proposed approach to improve these skills involves the use of a multi-CDI portable motorcycle ignition system trainer in problem-based learning. Through the Problem Based Learning approach, students are invited to identify damage, explain the cause, apply repair procedures, analyze repair results, and evaluate the results. The use of appropriate media and learning methods is recognized as the key to creating unique interaction patterns, bringing a cognitive dimension to the learning process. The student-center approach is the main focus, because it is considered a key factor in improving students' critical thinking skills in vocational schools. Thus, this article proposes concrete and relevant solutions to advance the critical thinking skills of vocational school students, especially in the fields of engineering and the motorbike business.
The authority relationship of Central and Local Governments in forming laws and regulations: between Indonesia and Malaysia
Authors: Widiarto Aan Eko , Hassan Muhamad Sayuti , Rusli Mohd Hazmi Mohd , Setiawan Endrianto Bayu
Published: February 2025

This study examines how the powers of the federal government and local governments interact to create laws and regulations in Malaysia and Indonesia. In most countries, the central government is not the only regulator in developing laws and regulations. Regional governments are vested with the authority to manage government affairs delegated to them. This authority includes the power to draft and enact regional regulations, reflecting regional independence in administering local governance. Regional regulations serve as strategic tools to achieve the objectives of decentralization, fostering greater autonomy by empowering regions to address local needs through tailored legislation. However, the delegation of such authority also presents the potential for regulatory conflicts between the central government and regional governments or among regions themselves. Consequently, a comprehensive analysis is essential to evaluate how the relationship between central and regional governmental authorities influences the legislative process in Indonesia. Employing a legal comparative approach provides an effective method for examining the dynamics of regulatory authority between the central and regional governments, offering valuable insights and policy recommendations to harmonize the framework for statutory regulation. The findings highlight those regional regulations play a crucial role in supporting decentralization, yet conflicts between central and regional authorities are inevitable. Comparing the cases of Indonesia and Malaysia, the study underscores the need for clear and collaborative frameworks to harmonize central and local authorities in forming laws and regulations, ensuring legal certainty and effective governance.
Light-matter correlations in Quantum Floquet engineering of cavity quantum materials
Authors: Pérez-González Beatriz , Platero Gloria , Gomez-León Álvaro
Published: February 2025

Quantum Floquet engineering (QFE) seeks to generalize the control of quantum systems with classical external fields, widely known as Semi-Classical Floquet engineering (SCFE), to quantum fields. However, to faithfully capture the physics at arbitrary coupling, a gauge-invariant description of light-matter interaction in cavity-QED materials is required, which makes the Hamiltonian highly non-linear in photonic operators. We provide a non-perturbative truncation scheme of the Hamiltonian, which is valid or arbitrary coupling strength, and use it to investigate the role of light-matter correlations, which are absent in SCFE. We find that even in the high-frequency regime, light-matter correlations can be crucial, in particular for the topological properties of a system. As an example, we show that for a SSH chain coupled to a cavity, light-matter correlations break the original chiral symmetry of the chain, strongly affecting the robustness of its edge states. In addition, we show how light-matter correlations are imprinted in the photonic spectral function and discuss their relation with the topology of the bands.
Renyi Entropy Predictive Data Mining And Weighted Xavier Deep Neural Classifier For Heart Disease Prediction
Authors: M. Revathy  Meenal  , S. Mary Vennila
Published: February 2025

During the past few years, Frequent Pattern Mining (FPM) has received the interest of several researchers that necessitate extracting items from transactions, and sequences from datasets, clarifying heart disease diagnosis that materializes commonly, and recognizing specific arrangements. In this era with healthcare involving significant evolutions, the unforeseeable movement and enormous amount of data concerning the classification of heart disease lead the way to new issues in FPM, such as space and time complexity. However, most of the research work concentrates on identifying the healthcare patterns relating to heart disease that transpires frequently, where the patterns within every transaction were known a priori. To address such issues in the present scenario, selecting the predominant patterns or frequent patterns is essential using relevant FPM models. The primary objective of this work is to enhance FPM mining results and reduce the misclassification rate of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) dataset samples. This work proposes a novel method called Renyi Entropy Homogenized Weighted Xavier-based Deep Neural Classifier (REHWX-DNC) for heart disease prediction. To tackle the first challenge, the Renyi Entropy-based Frequent Pattern Mining (RE-FPM) algorithm is proposed, which filters the low-quality features using the Renyi Entropy function. To handle the second issue, the HWX-DNC model is designed to assist in minimizing the misclassification rate by employing the Swish activation function. A dataset for CVD synthesis can be analyzed to obtain significant accuracy for this study, and REGEX-DNC can be improved with compared state-of-the-art methods. Some indicators, including prediction accuracy, time, misclassification level, and F1-total, are considered to calculate the predictor, checking that the REHWX-DNC method proposed is efficient and trustworthy for predicting heart disease.

Published: February 2025

It is commonly recognized that lower logic depth enables low voltage operation, which lowers power dissipation. But these circuits are especially prone to fluctuations, which could undermine the anticipated advantages. These short addresses the problem of increased threshold voltage variance by providing a low-power addition method that works under variability. In particular, by quantitatively comparing the effects of variation on the performances of ripple-carry adders (RCA) and borrow-save adders (BSA), the average power reduction that BSA achieves at low voltage values at the expense of increased delay variation is measured. This leads to a suggestion of a method that improves the performance of both adders. The calculated average power dissipation and maximum critical path delay variation of BSA at various supply voltages. It is demonstrated that a significant reduction in supply voltage is achievable, resulting reduction in BSA's overall power dissipation when compared to a counterpart operating at nominal voltage and maintaining a maximum delay lower than that of RCA. Moreover, straightforward design modifications that exchange latency for variability are incorporated in the BSA design, thereby lowering the maximum delay's normalized standard deviation.

Published: February 2025

Objectives: Despite serious challenges, humanity has been able to adapt and take measures to limit the spread of COVID-19 and minimize its negative consequences. This pandemic has emphasized the importance of global collaboration, scientific and medical progress, and raised questions about the need to strengthen health systems and international crisis response mechanisms. Although humanity continues to face new challenges associated with COVID-19, including the emergence of new strains, the development and introduction of vaccines and effective therapeutic agents have raised hope for overcoming the pandemic and creating a more sustainable health system for the future. The aim of our study was to investigate the course of the disease according to trimesters.

Material and methods: We retrospectively analyzed the case histories of women with COVID-19 coronavirus infection treated in the mentioned hospitals between December 2020 and February 2022. The study considered the following parameters according to the trimester of pregnancy: number of previous pregnancies, age, disease severity and presence of comorbidities.

Results: Mild COVID-19 accounted for a smaller proportion of the sample (3.2-13%) due to treatment at home or in outpatient settings. More than half of those hospitalized (209- 51.0%) were admitted in severe condition. Analysis of COVID-19 severity distribution by trimester showed statistically significant differences (p<0.05). Associated diseases were detected in 306 patients, accounting for 74.6% of all cases. Statistically significant differences were found when evaluating comorbidities according to trimester. The main complaints included dry cough (394), weakness (388), sore throat (372), fever (367),

malaise (365) and headache (287).

Conclusions: Infection is more frequently observed in pregnant women in the third trimester, which may be related to the increased frequency of diagnosis in this period. The presence of comorbidities is a factor that increases the severity of the condition.

Motif Pelaku Usaha Dalam Menggunakan Jasa Pembiayaan pada Baitul Maal at Tamwil di Kelurahan Rancanumpang Gedebage Bandung
Authors: 1 Guest
Published: February 2025

Baitul Maal Waa Tamwil(BMT) merupakan lembaga pembiayaan berbasis syariah, yang keberadaannya mulai diakui pada tahun 1995. Tujuan pendiriannya untuk mensejahterakan masyarakat dan menerapkan   nilai social keagamaan. BMT merupakan tindak lanjut dari pengoperasionalan Bank Muamalat Indonesia, yang mana karena  Bank Muamalat tidak bisa melayani masyarakat pelaku usaha mikro kecil yang secara umum tidak memiliki agunan jika akan menggunakan jasa perbankkan,selain itu prosedurnya juga sederhana, bahkan BMT bisa merambah kepedasaan, kampung nelayan,buruh dan petani. Faktor yang mendorong pelaku usaha menggunakan jasa BMT adalah para pelaku usaha punya keinginan  kuat untuk mengembangkan usahanya , selain itu dalam menggunakan jasa BMT prosedurnya sederhana, tanpa jaminan, jangka waktu pengembaliannya tercukupi, dan para pelaku usaha di kelurahan Rancanumpang merasa terbantu dengan keberadaan BMT tersebut.  Selain itu juga  merasa nyaman karena lokasi BMT  di area masjid dan akadnya juga dilakukan secara Islami. Tetapi 3 ( tiga ) tahun terakhir , para anggota merasakan bahwa pelayanan BMT kurang memuaskan, karena anggota pada saat membutuhkan dana mendesak tidak bisa dilayani dengan alasan dana tidak ada, Kurang adanya transparanis dalam laporan keuangan, Jika ada anggota yang terlambat mengembalikan cicilannya, maka akan mengalami kesulitan pada masa yang akan datam dalam prminjam dana BMT.
