Authors: Saleem Choudhry Shahid , Khan Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Ather , Sindher Riaz Hussain , Hussain Sabir
Published: September 2022

The tool traditionally used by school teachers for learning and disciplining the students is corporal punishment. The said research was designed to identify the primary school teacher’s attitude towards corporal punishment and then search out the most effective way for implementing strategies for modification of teachers’ attitudes towards corporal punishment. This was a multi-stage study. At first phase, survey was conducted to identify the teachers having highly positive attitude towards corporal punishment. In the first phase, a four-point Likert scale containing 21 positive and negative statements towards corporal punishment was used to check the attitude towards corporal punishment.  The targeted population of the study was all the government boys primary school teachers (785) in Tehsil Kot Chutta, District Dera Ghazi Khan. A total of 260 teachers were selected for the study sample. Then 140 primary school teachers having the most positive attitude towards corporal punishment were selected and equally divided into two groups and then each group was equally sub-divided in control and treatment groups. Combination of attitude modification strategies by two different modes (face-to-face workshop and virtual/online treatment) were applied to treatment groups. t-test was applied to measure statistically significant difference between control group and experimental group. The study results show that most of the teachers were inclined towards corporal punishment. Teachers’ attitudes could be reduced by some strategies like face-to-face workshops for teachers and online training for teachers to modify of positive attitude of teachers toward corporal punishment. Scholars tested strategies by two different modes and found both were decent, but the face-to-face training strategy was more effective than online workshops. It is recommended that frequent training sessions may be conducted to change teachers’ attitude towards corporal punishment on regular bases.

Authors: Fuad Nurwahida
Published: September 2022

Women are taking on the risks and rewards of entrepreneurship in ever-increasing numbers. Existing literature suggests that women have been playing a significant part in the growth of micro-enterprise and economic development. Unfortunately, most of women failed to sustain in entrepreneurship due to psychological characteristic issue for instance lack of empowerment among themselves. As a result, there is an insistent need to investigate various dimensions of women empowerment especially in the context of micro-enterprise sustainability. Since the sustainability of micro-enterprise among women entrepreneur are still being debated among scholars, therefore the understanding on the concept of psychological women empowerment in depth is crucial. This study was conducted to investigate the role of psychological women empowerment that may assist in women entrepreneurial success. The total of 410 women entrepreneurs categorised as Low Income Household (LIH) who conducting micro-enterprise in Malaysia participated in this study voluntarily. The time horizon for the study conducted was three years. The data was analysed using descriptive and linear regression analysis. The finding obtained from this study indicated that there was significant positive relationship between psychological women empowerment and women entrepreneurial success. In addition, the findings showed that women had greater level of awareness in increasing knowledge and family welfare, financial independence and self-identity. The findings offer evidence that women in LIH engaged in entrepreneurial activities feel much empowered that lead to business sustainability. This result provides valuable insight for agencies involved in women entrepreneurship development especially on microenterprise.

Authors: Mejía-Zambrano Henry
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The cases of infection for Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) have increased. The patients with infection for Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumonia have a terrible forecast and a high mortality rate. Objective. We determine the prevalence of risk factors in patients hospitalized for CRKP. Methods. We perform a search bibliographic of the literature in Pub Med, MEDLINE, and SCOPUS, to December 13, 2021. This systematic review included observational studies on risk factors in patients hospitalized for CRKP. We evaluated the quality methodologic of articles on the base of the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS) of nine stars. Results. we observed that the majority were male (62.90%), the average age was 61 years, and 883 patients with CRKP were counted from the different studies. The main risk factors for CRKP were previous hospitalizations (67.9%), previous use of carbapenems and ß-lactam/ß-lactamase inhibitor (49.59% and 45.49%, respectively), previous venous catheterization (44.99%) and previous stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) (42.9%). Conclusions. In this systematic review, we was the conclusion that the prevalence of risk factors of CRKP in patients hospitalized are previous hospitalizations, use last of antibiotics as carbapenems, ß-lactams/inhibitors, ß-lactamase, previous procedures as central venous catheterization and earlier stays in intensive care units (ICU). These findings can promote the prevention of CRKP infections and rational control over the use of antibiotics from the Ministry of Health towards the general population.
The Effectiveness of the Intensive English Course on EFL Learners
Authors: Almudibry Khaled N
Published: September 2022

The English skills of students who newly-graduated from secondary schools are not always sufficient for studying a major in English. For this reason, most universities, particularly those in Saudi Arabia, enrol new students, who want to study a BA in English, on an intensive English course. The present study examines quantitatively through questionnaires and proficiency tests, a commonly adopted solution: an intensive English course taken immediately prior to embarking on the English BA. The main findings indicate that both male and female learners’ attitudes to the IEC are positive and their English level improves after attending the course. However, compared to international courses in other countries, learners achieve insufficient progress towards a suitable proficiency level. A key reason for this is that the course syllabus itself does not reach such a level, despite being based on international comparisons, as the number of teaching hours being sufficient for that to happen. Furthermore, students do not prioritize their need to learn academic English for their major. Implications are drawn which may resonate much more widely around the world than just in the context studied.

Exploring the impact of interprofessional simulation on the professional relationships of trainee pharmacists and medical students: a constructivist interview study
Authors: Tallentire Victoria R , Kerins Joanne , McColgan-Smith Scott , Power Ailsa , Stewart Fiona , Mardon Julie
Published: September 2022

Members of clinical teams can hold stereotyped views of one another that can form barriers to interprofessional cohesion and collaboration. Interprofessional education (IPE) is often championed as a way of teaching individuals to be better team players through the adoption of collaborative attitudes and behaviours. However, the potentially detrimental effects of IPE are not well understood. This study used the social identity approach (SIA) as a lens to explore the impact of interprofessional simulation on the identities and professional relationships of trainee pharmacists and medical students.

Across three different locations in Scotland, trainee pharmacists were paired with medical students to participate in immersive simulation scenarios with post-scenario debriefs. Participants were individually interviewed shortly after their simulation session, using a semi-structured interview schedule based on SIA. Transcripts were analysed using template analysis, with sub-categorizations of SIA forming the initial coding template.

Twenty-five interviews were undertaken across both groups. The interprofessional simulation session effectively challenged pre-existing stereotypes. For the trainee pharmacists, the alteration of self-stereotypes influenced motivation through self-enhancement and, in turn, altered group norms via the promotion of genuine collaboration and joint decision-making. However, social comparisons focussed on status remained prominent.

This study has shown that interprofessional simulation can effectively challenge and alter stereotypes (including self-stereotypes), but social comparisons may be less easy to overcome in this context. As it continues to be embedded within healthcare education, the limitations of IPE must be better understood to ensure that the potential value of such opportunities is maximized.

Authors: Osorio Leonardo Favio
Published: September 2022

La covid-19 ha implicado un desafío para la civilización occidental y el mundo en general, una situación inesperada que ha llevado a una proliferación del miedo. A partir de esa realidad, los gobernantes han reforzado sus políticas de control sobre la población, con medidas intervencionistas de distinta naturaleza. En ese contexto, el objetivo es explicar las implicaciones que para la libertad, en general, han tenido las políticas dirigidas a evitar la propagación del virus en occidente. De esa manera, se justifica toda clase de intervenciones estatales con discursos que condenan las libertades de mercado. Se concluye que el virus ha provocado un aumento del tamaño de los Estados en occidente y esto ha perjudicado libertades individuales, tanto políticas como económicas.

CHAPTER 3.5. PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE
Authors: Starchenko Grygoriy
Published: September 2022

The chapter offers a theoretical justification for the need to assess the effectiveness of public management in terms of its ability to ensure the proper level of socio-economic life of the citizen. The need to change the vector of development of the sphere of public administration should occur through the formation of appropriate institutional and organizational support, namely through the presence of an adequate market environment, legislative and organizational support, innovative infrastructure, appropriate project-oriented management structures, as well as by establishing effective collaboration between education, science, business, the state and other public institutions. It is emphasized that the adaptability, manageability and efficiency of its development, as well as resource, structural and temporal dimensions, largely depend on the state and features of the institutional and organizational support for project-oriented management of the public sphere. It is noted that the system of institutional support for project-oriented management of the development of the public sphere should be considered as an open and dynamic system that responds to the influence of the external global space, for example, international institutions and internal factors of state development. It is advisable to assign a special place in the system of institutional support for project-oriented management of the development of the public sphere to synergistic communication, which is the joint action of independent project-oriented economic entities. The institutional and organizational support for the development of the public sphere that has been formed today is fragmented and ineffective, which is manifested in the absence of a single legislative interpretation of the innovative development of the public sphere, duplication of powers of authorities, insufficient coherence and coordination of the activities of executive authorities, and the absence of clear criteria.

Recommendations for Gastric Cancer Screening in Korean Americans
Authors: Lippe Asher , Lippe Scott
Published: September 2022

In the United States, Korean Americans have the highest incidence rate of gastric cancer and have a five times higher risk than non-Hispanic Whites. Early detection is important for cancer treatment and survival.  In countries where there is a high prevalence of gastric cancer, such as Korea and Japan, national screening programs have been implemented. In the United States, immigrants of countries like Korea and Japan continue to have many of the same risk factors as in their home country.  However, recommendations for gastric cancer screening in the United States are lacking, even for these high-risk populations. We conducted a literature search of relevant information to identify appropriate screening measures and criteria for gastric cancer screening for Korean Americans. Based on the data from the Korean national screening program, the proportion of gastric cancers diagnosed at an earlier stage increased significantly. Furthermore, endoscopic screening was associated with a decrease of about 50% in gastric cancer death risk for those between 40 and 74 years old. Therefore, there is a similar need for screening for Korean Americans who have a similar diet and lifestyle as native Koreans. By increasing early detection, routine screening via endoscopy in high-risk Korean Americans may have a significant impact on decreasing the morbidity and mortality associated with gastric cancer, as seen in the Korean studies.

In this article, we discuss the medicinal plants in the following key points: usage, parts used, and disease groups used. The data collection methods in this study includes the specimen collection, the interview method, while the identification of the species name, the method of medicinal plant resources diversity assessment and the method of endangered medicinal plants level assessment are employed in this work. The initial investigation shows that the medicinal plants in this area consisted of 59 species, 54 genera, 41 families, which are belonged to three vascular divisions under the names: Polypodiophyta, Pinophyta and Magnoliophyta. Moreover, roots and tubers of these medicinal plans are two most popularly used parts by the ethnic minorities of Co Tu. People there often use medicinal plants in traditional medicine practices, particularly in treatments of the arthritis and diseases of the digestive system. Finally, seven species of medicinal plants found here are listed in the Vietnam Red Data Book (2007), the IUCN Red list 2022 and the Government Degree No 84/2021/ND-CP of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
USING ATMOSPHERICALLY RESISTANT VEGETATION INDEX TO DETECT FOREST COVER CHANGE IN LAC DUONG DISTRICT, LAM DONG PROVINCE
Authors: Phi Dinh Cao , Hoa Nguyen Hai
Published: September 2022

This study tested the potential of using Sentinel-2-derived ARVI for land covers mapping compared to NDVI in Lac Duong district, Lam Dong province. Overall accuracy assessments of ARVI-based land covers mapping are calculated from 88.9% (in 2016) to 92.0% (in 2022) with Kappa coefficients of 0.79 and 0.86, respectively. The comparison between Sentinel-2-derived NDVI and ARVI for land covers mapping indicated that ARVI has performed well in land covers mapping in Lac Duong district. The Sentinel-2 time series were therefore used to generate spectral-temporal changes in land covers based on ARVI thresholds. Our estimation of land covers and forest cover change shows that the forest cover in Lac Duong increased by 1718.4 ha from 2016 to 2022, while non-forest covers reduced by 1662.1 ha at the same period. Conversely, during the segmented period of 2018-2020, the extent of forest cover reduced by 1156.1 ha, whereas non-forest covers increased by 1032.8 ha. The study also identified the main drivers of LULC change, including forest cover change, these changes are due to the expansion of coffee production, effectiveness of PES policy implementation, and a lack of agricultural production and sustained likelihoods. Our study suggests that ARVI can be used to monitor and detect changes in land covers, especially in deforestation and forest degradation detection in the tropical and mountainous regions of Vietnam. More focus of comprehensive understanding of LULC change and its management should be expanded beyond the poverty-environmental relationships in Lac Duong district.
Attention-based CNN-ConvLSTM for Handwritten Arabic Word Extraction
Authors: Ben Aicha Takwa , Echi Afef Kacem
Published: September 2022

Word extraction is one of the most critical steps in handwritten recognition systems. It is challenging for many reasons, such as the variability of handwritten writing styles, touching and overlapping characters, skewness problems, diacritics, ascenders, and descenders' presence. In this work, we propose a deep-learning-based approach for handwritten Arabic word extraction. We used an Attention-based CNN-ConvLSTM (Convolutional Long Short-term Memory) followed by a CTC (Connectionist Temporal Classification) function. Firstly, the text-line input image's essential features are extracted using Attention-based Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). The extracted features and the text line's transcription are then passed to a ConvLSTM to learn a mapping between them. Finally, we used a CTC to learn the alignment between text-line images and their transcription automatically. We tested the proposed model on a complex dataset known as KFUPM Handwritten Arabic Text (KHATT \cite{khatt}). It consists of complex patterns of handwritten Arabic text-lines. The experimental results show an apparent efficiency of the used combination, where we ended up with an extraction success rate of 91.7\%.

Published: September 2022

Pesquisas sobre rotatividade vêm ganhando mais espaço e interesse, mas o tema tem sido negligenciado na Administração Pública. O objetivo desta pesquisa é descrever os impactos que a rotatividade de concursados tem no desempenho de organizações públicas. A teoria dos moderadores e consequências da rotatividade de Hancock foi utilizada para sustentar esta pesquisa. Metodologicamente, a estratégia de pesquisa escolhida foi o estudo de caso, com abordagem qualitativa, exploratória e interpretativa, tendo como unidade de análise o gerente público com experiência em gestão de equipes. A coleta de dados foi por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas e suas análises foram por meio de codificação e análise de conteúdo com auxílio do NVIVO 11. Os principais resultados foram (i) a perda do conhecimento dos colaboradores que se desligam; (ii) o aumento da carga de trabalho; (iii) os custos associados a treinamento, recrutamento e seleção; (iv) e a queda na produtividade. Concluímos que ainda que o modelo de Hancock preveja a maioria destes impactos, no contexto brasileiro o modelo precisa incorporar novos impactos. Além dessa contribuição teórica, os resultados da pesquisa podem contribuir na prática ao auxiliar a tomada de decisões na gestão pública quanto ao desligamento de pessoas.

Festivaller ve etkinlikler şehir yaşamının önemli bir parçasıdır. Gıda temelli etkinlikler ve festivaller, sağladıkları birçok faydayı, gerçekleştirildikleri destinasyonlara çekmek amacıyla hem büyük şehirlerde hem de küçük kasabalarda giderek daha fazla düzenlenmektedir. Bu çalışmada Konya yemek kültürü hakkında yerel halkın ne düşündüğü, yemekler hakkında ne derece bilgiye sahip olduğu ve gastronomi festivalleri düzenlendiğinde destek verip vermeyeceği gibi durumlar göz önünde bulundurularak, Konya yemek kültürünün tanıtımının ve gastronomi festivallerinin sürdürülebilirliğinin nasıl olması gerektiğine dair çözüm yollarının bulunması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada Konya ilinin merkez alan seçilmesinin nedeni, bölgenin geniş bir yemek kültürünü barındırmasına rağmen yeterince turizm odaklı kullanılamaması ve yapılan etkinliklerin yetersizliğinin öngörülmesidir.

Çalışmada kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile Konya ili esnafı, turizm sektörü içerisinde bulunan aşçı, öğrenci ve turizm ile ilgili uzman kişilerden oluşan toplam 509 katılımcıya anket formu uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS programında frekans, standart sapma, ortalama ve Non-parametrik test olan ki-kare test analizleri yapılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlarda Konya’nın sahip olduğu değerlerin altında bir bilinirliğe sahip olduğu, gastronomisi çok kuvvetli olan bir şehrin yemeklerinin “etli ekmek, fırın kebabı, bamya çorbası” ile sınırlı kalıp sahip olduğu diğer yemeklerin adından çok fazla söz ettiremediği tespit edilmiştir. Tüm bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda çalışmada Konya mutfağının tanınırlığının artırılması için öneriler geliştirilmiş; belediyeler, üniversiteler ve işletme sahiplerinin iş birliğiyle ulusal düzeyde etkinliklerin organize edilmesi gerektiği vurgulanmıştır.

В статье обосновывается идея создания механического преобразователя солнечного излучения в электрический ток. Авторами дается сравнение разработанного двигателя с внешним подводом теплоты с зарубежными аналогами, сведения о которых опубликованы ранее. В статье приведен и обобщен материал использования источников возобновляемой энергии на основе двигателя с внешним подводом теплоты. Особое внимание акцентируется на простоте конструкции, надежности и низкой стоимости двигателя с внешним подводом теплоты. Разработанный двигатель может быть использован в качестве привода электрического генератора, для энергообеспечения автономных потребителей. К тому же он способен преобразовывать низкопотенциальную энергию горячей воды в механическую, а затем в электрическую. На основе проведенных исследований авторами установлено, что использование воздуха в качестве рабочего тела является не оправданным, так как увеличивает массогабаритные размеры. Отмечается, что на КПД оказывает влияние разница температуры между нагревателем и охладителем и давлением рабочего тела.

Dairy cooperatives is a promising rural producing organization which accounted for the milk revolution and improved livelihood of the rural population of India. However, its coverage has remain largely non-uniform across the nation. Hence, this paper studied its coverage over last two decades (1999-19) in different parts of India. Growth analysis, principal component analysis based index calculation and multiple regression analysis aids in studying the variation in cooperative coverage across zones and states, and its nature and degree of relation with other internal and external factors. The results showed that dairy cooperatives has increased over time in all the states of India, especially in eastern states. Nonetheless, the slow or negative growth in milk procurement and membership over time concludes that milk procurement by cooperatives has not commensurate with milk production, specifically ineast zone. Conversely, the slow growth in membership and high growth in milk procurement per member points towards mounting dairy commercialization, especially in western and southern states of the country. The study also suggests agricultural promotion and diversifying the services offered by cooperative at village level might help in increasing membership and milk procurement, simultaneously would also improve dairy farming in the region

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate hematological changes in dogs diagnosed with Ehrlichia canis. METHODS: 54 dogs treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the Santo Amaro University were analyzed. During the consultation, the animals' real temperature was measured; and venous blood samples were collected for hemogram; and performed serological and molecular tests, through Immunofluorescence and PCR in real time, respectively. RESULTS: Among the 54 animals suspected of having E. canis, 32 (59.3%) were diagnosed as positive. Of these, 23 (42.6%) were positive only in the serological test, while 9 (16.7%) had positive results in the serological and molecular tests. Thrombocytopenia was the most important alteration found in this study and was the only parameter found in the blood count that showed a statistical difference. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that thrombocytopenia was the main finding in infected animals and that the combination of molecular and serological diagnoses may increase the chances of detection of infection or exposure to the agent.

OBJECTIVE: This work aims to obtain information on the opinion of health professionals and patients regarding the effects of animal assisted therapy/activity (AAT). METHODS: An opinion poll was conducted with the medical team (consisting of: doctors, nurses, psychologists) and patients (male and female gender over 18 years of age) on the use of animal assisted therapy through application through application of the questionnaire by the Google Forms platform, being applied only once; participants were selected for convenience. RESULTS: According to the groups surveyed 65.62% of participants reported already knowing AAT, being better known in the group of health professionals, among these 6.71% have already participated in some intervention of the type. In terms of risk/benefit to AAT, it gives more benefits than risk according to 75.03% of participants. Regarding species considered viable for the application of this therapy, 92.63%of participants believe that the dog would be the most appropriate animal, followed by the cat (66.84%) and the horse (55.66%). According to health professionals, children (90.5%), followed by elderly (87.1%) and autistic (73.6%) are the groups that benefited the most from AAT. CONCLUSION: Through this study it was possible to see that in the general population, men and women, the knowledge of animal assisted therapy is still little widespread when compared to health professionals. In addition, studies focused on proof of physiological benefits to the patient are still incipient and have limitations on the number of participants and methodology.

Currently, the use of environmentally friendly materials is increasing rapidly, all sectors have been focusing on environmental issues with emphasis on recycled materials. The objective of this research was to produce a yarn from PET plastic bottles (used drinking water bottle) for sunscreen curtains in classroom of Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi. The method of research was based on studying the yarn property of PET plastic bottles of sunscreen curtain with a prototype 0.90 x 1.20 m through ASTM and lighting quantity measurement in the classroom. The results found that the yarn property: the mean strength, the mean toughness, the tensile stretch before breaking, and the mean percentage of elongation before breaking was 3,025.92 cN., 5.74 gf/den, 37.46 mm., and 149.83% respectively.  Also, the average weight and thickness were 311.87g/m2 and 0.14 mm. The tensile strength of the warp fabric was 98.5 lbf and the tensile strength of the weft fabric was 151.7 lbf. The abrasion resistance of the fabric that can cause the fabric to tear by 11,000 cycles.  For lighting quantity measurement in the classroom size of 61.41 m2 found that the average lighting quantity was 265.42 Lux that was below the classroom illuminance standard which is 300 - 500 Lux. However, this was natural lighting measurement without studying activities and artificial light combined. Therefore, further investigation on the factors such as visuality of students while studying, light control, high ceiling, heat transmission is needed to be considered.
