Good Tech, Bad Tech: Policing Sex Trafficking with Big Data
Authors: Kjellgren Richard
Published: February 2022

Technology is often highlighted in popular discourse as a causal factor in significantly increasing sex trafficking. However, there is a paucity of robust empirical evidence on sex trafficking and the extent to which technology facilitates it. This has not prevented the proliferation of beliefs that technology is essential for disrupting or even ending sex trafficking. Big data analytics and anti-trafficking software are used in this context to produce knowledge and intelligence on sex trafficking. This paper explores the challenges and limitations of understanding exploitation through algorithms and online data. It also highlights the key dimensions of exploitation ignored in big data-oriented research on sex trafficking. By doing so, the paper seeks to advance our theoretical understanding of the trafficking–‍technology nexus, and it is argued that sex trafficking must be reframed along a continuum of exploitation that is sensitive to the social context of exploitation within the sex market.
Ecological Ruptures and Strain: Girls, Juvenile Justice, and Phone Removal
Authors: Lyttle Storrod Michelle
Published: February 2022

Girls in the juvenile justice system routinely have their cell phones and internet access removed as a part of court orders. Building on feminist criminology and ecological systems theory, this paper will demonstrate that phone removal causes a rupture of girls’ digital ecology. This rupture exacerbates strains conducive to crime and victimization. Findings are generated from an ethnographic study that took place in a Northeastern United States city. Forty-two girls took part in focus groups and a series of interviews, and 22 practitioners took part in semi-structured interviews. This research shows that phones act as a positive and protective force supporting girls through feelings of safety, helping them cope with challenging events at home and on the street. Understanding the phone as a part of a broader ecology contextualizes why girls would subsequently commit crimes to restore their digital ecology.
‘You Can’t Actually Escape It’: Policing the Use of Technology in Domestic Violence in Rural Australia
Authors: Harris Bridget , Woodlock Delanie
Published: February 2022

The abuse of technology by perpetrators of domestic violence is ‘spaceless’; however, in this article, we argue that experiences of and responses to digital coercive control are shaped by both the place (geographic location) and space (practical and ideological features of a location) that a victim/survivor and criminal justice agency occupy. We examined this issue by conducting interviews and focus groups with 13 female victim/survivors in regional, rural and remote Australia. All participants had contact with police as part of their help-seeking for domestic violence, and some suggested that officers sometimes paralleled perpetrator behaviours, resulting in a narrowing of women’s ‘space for action’. We conclude that, in the interests of protecting and empowering women, socio-spatial frameworks must be considered by practitioners and researchers, and there should be a concerted effort to expand resourcing and training for justice agencies beyond the cityscape.

Background: In the field of endometriosis, several classification, staging and reporting systems have been developed and published, but there are no data on the uptake of these systems in clinical practice.

Objectives: The objective of the current study was to examine whether clinicians routinely use the existing endometriosis classification systems, which system do they use and what are the clinicians’ motivations?

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed to gather data on the current use of endometriosis classification systems, problems encountered and interest in a new simple surgical descriptive system for endometriosis. Of particular focus were three systems most commonly used: the Revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) classification, the Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI), and the ENZIAN classification. Data were analysed by SPSS. A survey was designed using the online SurveyMonkey tool consisting of 11 questions concerning three domains— participants’ background, existing classification systems and intentions with regards to a new classification system for endometriosis. Replies were collected between 15 May and 1 July 2020.

Main outcome measures: Uptake, feedback and future intentions.

Results: The final dataset included the replies of 1178 clinicians, including surgeons, gynaecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, fertility specialists and sonographers, all managing women with endometriosis in their clinical practice. Overall, 75.5% of the professionals indicate that they currently use a classification system for endometriosis. The rASRM classification system was the best known and used system, the EFI system and ENZIAN system were known by a majority of the professionals but used by only a minority. The lack of clinical relevance was most often selected as a problem with using any system. The findings of the survey suggest that clinicians worldwide are open to using a new classification system for endometriosis that can achieve standardised reporting, and is clinically relevant and simple.

Conclusions: Even with a high uptake of the existing endometriosis classification systems (rASRM, ENZIAN and EFI), most clinicians managing endometriosis would like a new simple surgical descriptive system for endometriosis.

What is new? The findings therefore support future initiatives for the development of a new descriptive system for endometriosis and provide information on user expectations and conditions for universal uptake of such a system.

Published: February 2022

Entrapment neuropathies are common and are frequently encountered by physicians in clinical practice. Median nerve entrapment, being one of the most common neuropathies in the upper extremity, must be studied in detail if the extent of injury it can cause is to be understood fully. Various anatomical variations are discovered frequently and reviewing these will advance medical practice in the search for suitable treatments. A broad understanding of the symptoms of median nerve entrapment, motor as well as sensory, is essential, along with its effects on surrounding structures.

In this study, a total of 311 questionnaires were used through SPSS 21.0 to analyze the effect of hairdresser maturity on customer orientation and work performance. The results of the survey are as follows. First, the maturity of hairdressers was two dimensions: psychological maturity and job maturity, customer orientation was three dimensions: problem-solving orientation, response orientation, and appearance orientation, and work performance was two dimensions: organizational performance and individual performance. Second, it was found that the maturity of hairdressers had a positive(+) effect on problem-solving orientation, response orientation, and work performance, and maturity and appearance orientation had no effect. Summarizing the above, it will affect customer orientation and work performance through the improvement of hairdressers' participation in education, portfolio, and individualism. This study is expected to be used as basic data for improving the maturity of hairdressers, and it is expected to be studied with various variables and subdivided by age group in the future.
The Effect of COVID-19 Based Risk Perception on the Nail Industry -Focusing on the Change in Nail Purchasing Behavior of Female Consumers-
Authors: Lee Hey-Yeon , Kim Kyung-Eun
Published: February 2022

The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of COVID-19 risk perceptions on the nail industry. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted on female customers in their 20s to 50s, from May 18, 2021 to May 31, 2021. Frequency analysis, descriptive statistical analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, one-way ANOVA, and correlation analysis were performed using the SPSS Statistics 28.0 program. The results show the following: First, when examining ones COVID-19 risk perceptions according to certain general characteristics, there was a significant difference in perceived economic risk according to ones occupation, education, and income. Second, as a result of examining the correlations between COVID-19 risk perceptions, positive correlations were found between physical risk and economic risk, social risk and economic risk, and physical risk and social risk. It was also found that the overall average of each risk perception category appeared in the order of social risk, physical risk, and economic risk. In addition, as a result of examining the correlations between the perceptions of COVID-19 risk and nail purchase behavior, there was a significant negative correlation between the perception of social risk and nail care cost and purchase times of nail care (purchase behavior), and there was also a significant negative correlation between the perception of economic risk and nail care cost purchasing behavior. Third, after COVID-19, 45.2% used self-nail only, while 32.5% used self-nail and a professional nail shop together, and 22.3% used professional nail salons only. Since the group using self-nails and professional nail salons at the same time accounts for 32.5% even after COVID 19, it was confirmed that self-nails and professional nail salons can co-exist (not a zero-sum competitive market). Fourth, the preference of professional nail salons decreased from 62.8% to 25.9% after COVID-19, and the preference for self-nails increased from 37.2% to 74.1%. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the self-nail market to further facilitate the growth of the nail industry. After examining self-nail purchasing behavior, there were no significant differences between age groups in the reasons they started self-nail care, disadvantages they experienced in self-nail care, improvements sought after in the self-nail care industry, or the types of self-nail care management used. However, there was a significant difference in the reason why they keep using self-nails. This study intends to provide marketing materials that are helpful to the nail industry and provide basic data to promote the nail industry.

التحكيم في معركة صفين : أسبابه و نتائجه

هذا البحث خاص بمسألة التحكيم و التي تتمثل في رفع المصاحف من قبل جماعة معاوية بن أبي سفيان (رضي الله عنه) في نهاية معركة صفين، التي كانت بين جيش الخليفة علي بن أبي طالب و معاوية بن أبي سفيان (رضي الله عنهما)، و ذلك بسبب الخلاف الذي دار بينهما فيما يختص بقتلة الخليفة عثمان بن عفان (رضي الله عنه)، و الذين كانوا في جيش الإمام علي بن أبي طالب، ليتطور هذا الخلاف إلى نشوب هذه المعركة و التي راح ضحيتها أكثر من سبعين ألف مسلم.

هذا البحث يتطرق إلى مسألة التحكيم و ما يترتب عليها من نتائج هامة، أسند الإمام علي بن أبي طالب هذا الأمر إلى أبي موسى الأشعري ليكون مندوبه للتحكيم مع عمرو بن العاص مندوب معاوية بن أبي سفيان (رضي الله عنهم جميعا)، و قد قمت بتصحيح ما ورد في هذا الأمر من كتابات المؤرخين القدامى و المحدثين، و قد ترتب على هذا التحكيم و الذي قبله البعض و رفضه البعض الآخر أي ظهور جماعة الخوارج و الذين يقولون (لا حكم إلا لله) و قد انتقدوا الإمام علي (رضي الله عنه) في قبوله التحكيم، و كان من نتائج هذا أن قتل الإمام علي بن أبي طالب على يد هؤلاء الخوارج أثناء ذهابه إلى المسجد لأداء صلاة الفجر، و قاتله هو عبد الرحمن بن ملجم.

و آلت الخلافة بعده إلى الحسن إبنه و الذي سلمها بعد ستة أشهر و ذلك عام 41 هــ إلى معاوية بن أبي سفيان (رضي الله عنهما)، و سمي ذلك العام بعام الجماعة.

لتصبح الخلافة وراثية داخل الأسرة الواحدة، بعد أن كانت شورية للمسلمين عامة.

PROBLEMS AND TASKS OF THEORETICAL SOIL SCIENCE
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Korolev Vladimir A.
Published: February 2022

The article deals with the problems and tasks of a new section of Soil Science — Theoretical soil science. It is noted that Theoretical soil science is a section of soil science about the most general laws that mathematically describe the composition, structure, properties of soils and their formation, processes in them, as well as changes in soils under the influence of internal and external factors. It is shown that the main goal of Theoretical soil science is the study and mathematical description of the most general laws of the formation of the composition, structure and properties of soils, the laws of their change under the influence of internal factors and external influences, as well as the interaction between soils, represented in mathematical form. The main method of understanding Theoretical soil science is not empirical research methods, as in classical soil science, but the use of theoretical (primarily mathematical) models of phenomena in soil and their comparison with reality.

STAVOVI ODGOJITELJA O KINEZIOLOŠKIM AKTIVNOSTIMA NA OTVORENOM ZA DJECU RANE I PREDŠKOLSKE DOBI
Authors: Prpić Ivana
Published: February 2022

Kineziološke aktivnosti u ranom i predškolskom odgoju i obrazovanju predstavljaju različite vrste tjelesnog vježbanja. Svrha im je osigurati motoričku pismenost djece kako bi se omogućio cjelovit i planski utjecaj na njihovu motoriku i optimalan razvoj antropoloških obilježja. Za većinu djece rane i predškolske dobi odgojitelji su prve osobe koje organiziraju i provode kineziološke aktivnosti i rukovoditelji su u tjelesnom i zdravstvenom odgojno-obrazovnom području u ustanovi ranog i predškolskog odgoja. Istraživanja su pokazala da tjelesne aktivnosti na otvorenom značajno doprinose pozitivnom razvoju antropoloških obilježja djece, stoga kada god mikroklimatski uvjeti dozvoljavaju, odgojitelji bi se trebali odlučiti na vanjski prostor za realizaciju kinezioloških aktivnosti. U radu se ispituju stavovi i gledišta odgojitelja zaposlenih u dječjim vrtićima, s ciljem postizanja boljeg razumijevanja čimbenika koji podržavaju ili ograničavaju kineziološke aktivnosti na otvorenom djece rane i predškolske dobi. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da vlastita uvjerenja odgojitelja i uvjeti u vrtiću imaju najveći utjecaj na donošenje odluke o vježbanju s djecom na otvorenom. Većina ispitanih odgojitelja uglavnom se izrazito slaže s važnošću provođenja kineziološke kulture na otvorenom, ipak rezultati pokazuju nižu procjenu provođenja.

U ovom radu biće analizirani uslovi rada stručnih radnika koji su u neposrednom kontaktu sa decom sa smetnjama u razvoju tokom pandemije koronavirusa (COVID-19), ali i potencijalna rešenja za prevazilaženje izazova sa kojima su se susretali u proteklom periodu. Strategije javnog zdravlja poput mera socijalnog distanciranja i prestanka rada određenih institucija, koje su mnoge zemlje uključujući i Republiku Srbiju donele tokom 2020. i 2021. godine u cilju sprečavanja širenja pandemije koronavirusa (COVID-19), uticale su na promene u svakodnevnoj rutini ljudi širom sveta. Zbog ovih mera dolazi do ograničenog pristupa resursima koje su u redovnim okolnostima deca sa smetnjama u razvoju koristila – vaspitno-obrazovnom sistemu i sistemu zdravstvene i socijalne zaštite. Sistematskim pregledom aktuelne literature u ovom radu ističemo specifičnu poziciju stručnjaka koji rade sa decom tokom pandemije koronavirusa (COVID-19), uz poseban osvrt na lično zadovoljstvo poslom i samoefikasnost pre i u toku pandemije, te nivo stresa i izazove sa kojima se susreću defektolozi, kao i načine prevazilaženja novonastalih uslova rada. Pandemija preusmerava fokus rada stručnjaka sa direktnog rada sa detetom na procese i postupke saradnje sa roditeljima i/ili starateljima u većoj meri nego što je to bio slučaj u periodu pre pandemije.

The goal of this part of the study was to optimize the sequencing procedure for 16 human genes and their regulatory regions that might be associated with differential immunological response to COVID-19. The study was performed on 60 COVID-19 patients from the General Hospital of
Tešanj, Bosnia and Herzegovina, categorized into three groups of mild, moderate, and severe clinical manifestation, based on the diagnosis by the residential physician. Target coding sequences and their regulatory regions were amplified for the following genes: HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, ACE2, IL-6, IL-4, TMPRSS2, IFITM3, IL-12, RIG-I/DDX58, IRF-7, IRF-9, IL-1B, IL-1A, CD55, and TNF-α.
DNA was isolated from the whole blood samples stored at -20°C for six months using QIAamp® DNA Mini Kit according to manufacturer’s instructions. Since NGS analysis of target genomic regions was performed
on the Ion Torrent GeneStudio™ S5 platforms, libraries were prepared using Ion AmpliSeq™ Library Kit Plus according to manufacturer’s instructions in a protocol optimized for low-quality DNA. Due to dissatisfactory sequencing results, further protocol optimization steps were employed through separating two primer pools, increasing the number
of PCR cycles, and decreasing the annealing temperature for the primer pool which showed poorer amplification results. In the end, 36 samples produced optimal results, while the remaining 24 samples will be re-sequenced following repeated sample collection and DNA isolation, accompanied by additional protocol modifications.
A Competitiveness Index of Soil Tillage and Planting Among Sugarcane Mills and Suppliers: The Benefits of Cost Reduction and High Production Strategies
Authors: De Amorim Fernando Rodrigues , Patino Marco Tulio Ospina , Andrade Alequexandre Galvez de
Published: February 2022

Sugarcane mills (SCMs) and sugarcane suppliers (SCSs) use different production systems. To increase competitiveness, these systems use cost reduction, high productivity investment, and technology strategies according to their scale of production, that is, small (S), medium (M), or large (L). The question that arises is: which of the three production scales, among SCMs and SCSs, have the best competitiveness index in activities related to soil tillage and sugarcane planting? The objective of this research was to analyze and compare a competitiveness index built by using the values of four variables: planted area, sugarcane replanted area, cost of soil tillage, and cost of planting. The study was conducted with data corresponding to the 2017/18 harvest season from 31 SCMs and 42 SCSs located in Brazil. In addition, Monte Carlo Simulation was used to analyze the level of certain costs and profits through relative frequency. Small scale suppliers showed the highest productivity and lowest cost in soil tillage, while the medium scale sugarcane mills revealed the smallest sugarcane replanting cycle area and the lowest cost of planting. However, the competitiveness index showed that SCSs are more competitive than SCMs, with both kind of sugarcane producers taking the benefits of using cost reduction and high productivity strategies.
Evaluation of the performance of the pre-analytical phase of the testing process in medical laboratory accreditation
Authors: İren Emekli Dilek , Aslan Diler , Zorbozan Nergiz
Published: February 2022

Aim: For the accreditation of a medical laboratory, it is necessary to evaluate the quality indicators (QI) used to evaluate pre-analytical process performance and establish an infrastructure to prevent errors arising from outside the laboratory. We aimed to present the quality indicators to prove the pre-analytical process performance of a medical (clinical) laboratory that has a large workforce prepared for medical laboratory accreditation.Methods: The sample rejection criteria were defined for the pre-analytical process. QIs, which are the requirements of the ISO15189 standard, was determined. QIs were estimated both as percentages and process Sigma levels. Pareto charts presented the distribution of errors.Results: QI values calculated as “%” and “Sigma” levels consistently demonstrated performances. According to 80% cumulated percentages, the Pareto charts rankings were “haemolysed,” “coagulated,” “barcode error,” and “insufficient” samples. In addition, when Pareto charts were evaluated, it was seen that the first 2 reasons in the 6-month period were “hemolysis” and “clotted samples” in all months. Still, the third most common reason was found to vary between “barcode error” and “insufficient” samples.Conclusion: Because of the consistency between % and sigma values, QIs can be presented with one of these in showing laboratory pre-analytical processes. However, sigma values give a more general view, and performance can be easily monitored between months. Pareto charts help illustrate error distribution and provide information for continuous improvement in laboratory-related healthcare.
The Effectiveness of Learning Management Before, During and After Covid-19
Authors: Halwati Halwati
Published: February 2022

Learning is essentially a business, a process of change that occurs in individuals as a result of experience or the result of interaction with the environment. Effective learning is a teaching and learning process that is not only focused on the results achieved by students, but how an effective learning process is able to provide good understanding, intelligence, perseverance, opportunity and quality and can provide behavior change and apply it in their lives. In answering the phenomenon of learning effectiveness, the writer uses the library method to collect the material needed by the author in completing it. At this time the Covid-19 virus spread which resulted in the learning system undergoing many changes. The learning system that was originally implemented face-to-face or directly must be changed to an online learning system, in which teachers and students learn remotely using the internet. After the pandemic began to subside, the learning system underwent a change again by using face-to-face learning on a limited basis.

Published: February 2022

A new vanadium based metal–organic framework (MOF), termed V-TBAPy, V2O2(C44H22O8)·9.5H2O, was designed and solvothermal synthesized. Crystal structure analysis showed that V-TBAPy is constructed from VO(CO2)2 rod-shaped SBUs (SBUs = secondary building units) and 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(p-benzoate)pyrene (TBAPy4–) linker to adopt the frz architecture highlighted by 1D channel of 9.3 Å and 4.0 × 9.4 Å2 in the structure. V-TBAPy was characterized by powder x-ray diffraction analysis (PXRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), elemental analysis (EA) and N2 adsorption measurements at 77 K. The resulted analyses indicated the highly thermal stability and permanent porosity of  V-TBAPy with the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface (BET) area derived from the adsorption data of V-TBAPy to be 1620 m2 g–1. Furthermore, the rod-shaped morphology and the nano-size V-TBAPy were also confirmed by the scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis suggesting the promising employment of the obtained material for adsorption and catalysis.
Modeling and Simulation of PID Controller-Based Active Suspension System for A Quarter Car Model
Authors: Nguyen Van Trang , Duong Nguyen Hac Lan
Published: February 2022

The most common automotive suspension systems have been used passive components with fixed damping coefficient and spring constant. They are two separate functions to reach a compromise between drive quality and handling performance. Because of the limit of structures, the passive suspension system could hardly enhance the two features at the same time. In recent years, the active suspension system has been widely used in a vehicle which can overcome the limitations of the passive suspension systems. Since there are many advantages to make the vehicle operate safer and quieter than the passive suspension system. The aim of this study is to develop a linear mathematical model of active and passive suspensions systems for quarter car models subjected to different road profiles using a Proportional Derivative Integral (PID) controller. After modeling and simulation of the suspension system using Matlab/Simulink, this study has been able to determine the parameter of PID controllers of active suspension in many different road surfaces and vehicle speeds to improve driving comfort. Another new point of this study is the Graphical User Interfaces to be a successful design. The users can enter the input parameters for Matlab processing and get the results, which can make system analysis faster and more convenient. The main outcomes of this paper are performed to investigate and compare the response between active and passive suspension systems. Through the analysis of the simulation results, this research has demonstrated the feasibility, reliability, and they can be applied to propose a further improvement of the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the vehicle active suspension system.

Published: February 2022

This qualitative study was conducted in Mississippi, a state comprised of 82 counties, many of which are rural and highly impoverished. To gain a greater understanding of the food needs of residents from across the state, a representative sample of food pantries from each region of the state was identified. For this project, researchers with the Mississippi Food Insecurity Project formed a partnership with the Mississippi Food Network to interview partner pantries across the state. Interviews were conducted with food pantry managers and volunteers to examine various issues, challenges, and successes related to their operations. All interviews were transcribed and coded using a systematic analysis of codes to generate major themes related to pantry management protocols. Using an ecological framework, our study yielded five major areas of consideration for optimal pantry management: volunteer recruitment, operating and control systems, patron needs, collaboration, and advocacy.

The paper presents a comprehensive view of students' viewpoints on online learning and academic, psychological, domestic, and social problems. The study analyzed different aspects of online learning and their effects on students' lives. This research aimed to analyze the concerns of undergraduate students of the University of Central Punjab. Due to the closure of physical classes and institutes, the data collection for this study was done online through a survey questionnaire structured on google forms. A primary source of data collection was used and a sample of 100 studentsfrom different departments of the University of Central Punjab was approached. Responses to the survey questionnaire served to represent students' stance on online learning. A majority of respondents showed satisfaction over online learning and grading system. Similarly, most of the respondents had a neutral perspective on Microsoft Teams as a learning platform. Assignment submission and attempting quizzes was not a very difficult task for the university students. Poor internet connection was a major issue along with a lack of motivation for students in onlineclasses. The study addressed major issues faced by students during online classes and learning feedback on the shifted system of online classes due to COVID-19.

Anthropometry deals with the measurements of physical properties which are essentials for designing any tools or equipments. For designing ergonomically sound women friendly technology and assessment of nutritional status anthropometry has the pivotal role. In the present study anthropometric measurements of 45 body dimensions of women and nutrition related measurements of body type were documented from farm women’s in hills of Uttarakhand. The aim of this study is to document the mean and percentile range of static and dynamic anthropometric measurements and to provide a comprehensive data for use by anthropologists, nutritionist and ergonomic practitioners who are engaged in designing and evaluating mechanized technologies for women. Various body dimensions in standing and sitting positions, reach measurements, determinants of body fat and Body Mass Index (BMI) were recorded for hill women working in the agricultural domain. Total 100 women extensively involved in agricultural operations were chosen for the study and reference data to specify the physical dimensions for enhancing operational ability, safety, and convenience and comfort were recorded. Skinfold thickness was measured at four sites i.e. biceps, triceps, subscapula and suprailiac. The data(mean ± Standard Deviation) in centimeters pertaining to stature 149.5 ± 9.04, Standing eye height 140.96 ± 6.89, Standing cervical height 129.33 ± 6.21, Standing shoulder height 123.63 ± 4.86 , Naval height 99.67 ± 2.02, Hip Breadth (Standing) 102.12 ± 6.11, Chest depth 85.80 ± 5.58, Chest Breadth 91.13 ± 4.48, Arm Span 57.66 ± 3.41, Elbow span 38.48 ± 2.22, Arm Length 50.12 ± 1.57, Ankle height 7.73 ± 1.01, Thigh Circumference 45.26 ± 4.28, Calf Circumference 29.54 ± 4.08, Sitting measurements, head and face, hand and foot anthropometry and reaches were incorporated. The range of biceps, triceps, subscapula and suprailiac for farm women varied between 3.9 to 8.1 mm, 6.2 to 10.8mm, 8.4 to 15.2 mm and 7.5 to 12.5 with the average of 5.9 ± 0.9 mm, 8.08 ± 1.8 mm, 12.75 ± 1.6 mm, 10.5 ± 3.5 mm respectively. It was found that body density of subjects was ranged from 1.03 to 1.06, with mean of 1.04 ± 0.003 and percent body fat was 24.5 ± 1.4. The subjects were classified into categories of chronic energy deficient, normal and obese on the basis of Body Mass Index. It was found that 46 percent were undernourished, 33.3 percent women were normal, 18 percent low normal and only 1.6 percent overweight.

Prior studies have shown that information technology is effective for increasing children’s vocabularies and reading comprehension; however, its effects on bilingual or heritage language learning require further study. This article reports on a bilingual tablet storybook design using the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) approach. The electronic storybooks were written in two languages: Mandarin and Vietnamese. After the welcome page, the tablet storybooks include four parts: a story in Mandarin (including text and reading), a story in Vietnamese, Mandarin games, and Vietnamese games. The text contains frequently used vocabulary. The storybook apps provide the frequently used vocabulary with Mandarin and Vietnamese pronunciations and explanations (in picture, oral, and text forms). In the second part of the game, “Little Story Teller,” the tablet provides five different background pictures and the users select and arrange the objects and figures presented in the pictures. This study sheds light on the application of tablet storybooks to heritage language learning or bilingual learning. Tablet storybooks can serve as a supplement for bilingual or multilingual learning and encourage a learner-centered and self-directed mode of instruction.

In order to arrange astronauts’ long-term working properly in the space station in the future, this study evaluated the workload of astronauts’ typical tasks in the Shenzhou-10 spacecraft. The seven tasks were selected as typical tasks including replacing the floor, assembling a dynamometer on a bike, connecting the pipeline of the condensed water for sampling test, pulmonary function tests after exercise, tests of oxygen producing with electrolysis, and manual-control rendezvous and docking. Through subjective measurement instrument modified NASA-TLX, the results indicated that astronauts’ workload of replacing the floor were the highest among the 7 tasks. And then followed was the workload from pulmonary function tests after exercise and the tests of oxygen producing with electrolysis. The workload from the task b1, Y1 was relative low. Although the task J1 was more complex and difficult, the astronauts’ workload was not high.
Human Factors and Ergonomics in Architectural Designing of Contemporary Stadiums and other Facilities for the Mass Audience
Authors: Pelczarski Zdzislaw
Published: February 2022

The paper summarizes many years of the author’s practical experience in design and construction of large spectator stands, including the largest functioning in Poland tribunes of Silesia Stadium. Specifically, it comprises a collection of the author’s own studies and investigations that accompanied the design and investment process of the multi-stage redevelopment of this object (Pelczarski, Z. 2009). The phenomenon of rapid development of modern stadiums is a result of gradual development of their architectural form, that has been evolving for one hundred years. They are the contemporary counterparts of great ancient structures such used nearly two thousand years ago for public spectacles addressed to mass audiences. The undertaken research leads to a general conclusion that the size and shape of the field of game, is established solely as a derivative of the game rules, with no regard to the factors conditioning visual comfort of the gathered crowds. In author's opinion the interior of future stadiums should be first of all shaped by proper relationship between the spectator zones and the arena. Visibility standards, must be adjusted to perception and anatomical features of human eye , consequently causing that shape and size of the arena will be the outcome of these standards.

One approach to prevent accidents caused by human errors is to promote understanding of errors by those who are required to be safety-conscious in their work. We report the process of developing a serious game, in which people working for the railway learn a slip, a human error of an action that is carried out incorrectly. To help players understand that anyone can make a slip, we have been developing games to give them with a chance to experience their own error. In one of the games, the player’s task is to classify (or categorize) each of the presented images into one of two categories under time pressure. After making the basic features of the game, we carried out experimental trials to examine impacts of factors related to the setting. We plan to reflect the findings of these trials on the setting of the game to increase the likelihood of the players’ slip. We continue to develop this game and the additional short commentary about a slip tailored towards railway personnel. This game will support people who work in railway companies to comprehend a human error and operate safely, resulting in reduction of accidents caused by a human error.

A lot of studies on prediction or evaluation of drowsy driving are conducted using physiological measures in order to prevent traffic accidents due to drowsy driving. Although such physiological measures are to some extent useful for assessing drowsiness, there are some practical limitations such as necessity of attachment of measurement instruments to drivers. Therefore, in order to make drowsiness prediction system more practically usable, it is necessary to find behavioral measures which can be more easily measured than physiological measures. This study paid attention to the behavioral measures (the pressures on the backrest of the driving seat (back pressure) and the pressure on the soles of the foot (foot pressure)) while driving, and explored the effectiveness of these behavioral measures for predicting or evaluating drivers’ drowsiness. The behavioral measures (the back and the foot pressure) during the driving are promising and can be used effectively to evaluate and predict the drivers’ drowsiness.

The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of physiological and behavioral evaluation measures for predicting drivers’ subjective drowsiness. EEG, heart rate variability (RRV3), and blink frequency were physiological measures. Behavioral measures included neck vending angle (horizontal and vertical), back pressure, foot pressure, COP on sitting surface, frequency of body movement, tracking error in driving simulator task, and standard deviation of quantity of pedal operation. Drowsy states were predicted by using multinomial logistic regression model where physiological and behavioral measures and subjective evaluation of drowsiness corresponded to independent variables and a dependent variable, respectively. The prediction accuracy was obtained for a variety of combinations of the evaluation measures above. The maximum and minimum prediction accuracies were 0.962 and 0.876, respectively. Almost all combinations led to the prediction accuracy of more than 0.9. Moreover, it has been made clear that the proper interval used for attaining higher prediction accuracy is a 20-s interval between 20s and 40s before prediction.

Published: February 2022

Five different insulin pumps and three systems for continuous glucose monitoring were subjected to usability tests at the School of Technology and Health. Each pump was trialed and rated by 30 respondents; 20 students with no experience of diabetes and 10 diabetic pump users. Each of the CGM systems was trialed and rated by 10 non-diabetic students. All participating students were enrolled in Medical Technology (Royal Institute of Technology) or Occupational Therapy (Karolinska Institute). The technical performance of pumps and CGM systems was tested independently. The respondents handled the insulin container, the software, the buttons, the screen and the manual through five scenario-based tasks. The trials and the accompanying attitude items were based on the ISO definition of usability. Efficiency was measured as the proportion of respondents succeeding to perform the tasks in less than 15 minutes, combined with the average time to do so. Effectiveness was the quotient of success frequency over average performance time. Satisfaction was the average distribution on the attitude items related to software, screen, buttons and manual. All products were ranked against each other within each separate test and the rank scores accumulated. There were significant differences in the scoring of the individual insulin pumps and CGM systems.
