Work-related mobile internet usage during off-job time and quality of life: The role of work family conflict and off-job control
Authors: Elshaer Ibrahim Abdelhamid , Azazz Alaa Mohamed Shaker , Fayyad Sameh
Published: June 2024

The unexpected outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to various aspects of society, including education and work practices. Although tremendous progress has been achieved in reducing the severe impact of COVID-19 on education, its repercussions are still apparent in behaviours connected to the workplace and people's views of their general quality of life (QOL). In this research paper, we investigate the relationship between work-related mobile internet usage during off-job time and quality of life considering the mediating effect of work-family conflict and the moderating effect of off-job control. Data were collected from 341 faculty members and the obtained data was analyzed by Smart PLS structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using a cross-sectional research design. The study findings reveal that both work-related smartphone use during off-job hours and work-family conflict significantly and negatively impact the quality of life of faculty members. Moreover, the study identified that individuals with greater perceived off-job control demonstrated better quality of life outcomes despite the challenges posed by work-related smartphone use. The results of this study contribute to the understanding of the implications of COVID-19 on work practices and personal well-being. Given the growing reliance on smartphones and digital connectivity in the post-pandemic era, it underscores the importance of recognizing the boundaries between work and personal life. Additionally, it highlights the need for employers and policymakers to establish policies and interventions that promote off-job control enabling individuals to disengage from work-related demands during non-work hours effectively.
Influence of anions and cations on the oxidation of basic blue 26 and basic violet 3 dyes by the Fenton process
Authors: Belaid Kumar Djamal , Seddiki Hichem
Published: June 2024

Among the advanced oxidation processes (AOP) used to treat textile effluents, the Fenton process is particularly appreciated for its ability to effectively treat pollutants that are difficult to degrade by other conventional methods, such as synthetic dyes, especially basic or cationic dyes, which present the highest poisoning rates, underscoring the harmful nature of these substances. We conducted an examination in this context, concentrating on the impact of ions on dye degradation at a temperature of 294 K. This is because ions in solution left over from chemicals used during manufacturing processes can have a significant impact on the efficiency of the Fenton reaction, as they can act as catalysts or inhibitors of the reaction. The degradation of cationic, Basic Blue 26 (BB26) and Basic Violet 3 (BV3) dyes at an initial concentration of 10 mg/L by the Fenton process (Fe2+/ H2O2) was studied in this paper. The results showed a discolouration and degradation of 75.5% for BB26 and 45.4% for BV3 after 30 minutes. The effects of monovalent anions (Cl- and NO3-), divalent anions (SO42- and CO32-), and cations (Na+, K+, and Ca2+) on degradation rates were evaluated. The decrease in degradation yield by the presence of Na+, K+ and Ca2+ cations and Cl-, NO3- and SO42-anions for BB26 dye and by the presence of Na+ and Ca2+ cations and Cl- and SO42- anions for BV3 dye was discussed. On the other hand, K+ and NO3- ions have somewhat favoured the yield of BV3 dye degradation, while the presence of carbonate anion (CO32-) increased the degradation rate of our two dyes.

Des-emoção no ensino médio: virtualidade e ideais neoliberais na pandemia
Authors: Veiga Alfredo César da
Published: June 2024

Este artigo investiga a des-emoção entre estudantes do Ensino Médio durante o retorno às aulas presenciais em meio à pandemia de COVID-19, focando em uma escola pública do Estado de São Paulo. A análise parte da etimologia da palavra "emoção" e introduz o neologismo des-emoção para descrever o impacto de uma educação sustentada por pilares neoliberais, acentuada pelo colapso econômico e social decorrente da pandemia. Utilizando o conceito de conversar, que Humberto Maturana enxerga como uma ação carregada de um emocionar, o autor-professor conduziu conversas informais com alunos do terceiro ano do Ensino Médio, com o objetivo de perceber as emoções que se faziam presentes no primeiro dia de retomada das aulas presenciais ao final da pandemia do Coronavírus. As interações revelaram um estado de desmotivação e até de certo luto entre os estudantes, que se mostraram indispostos e desanimados com o retorno presencial. Tal fenômeno pode ser atribuído à realidade imposta pelo tempo de isolamento e à pressão do sistema neoliberal, que intensifica a exclusão e a opressão. Um dos fatos observados foi que essa des-emoção não seria outra coisa que o efeito direto de um sistema educacional que, ao priorizar a eficiência e a produtividade, desumaniza, ao destinar estudantes para um mundo tecnocrata, frio e robotizado, sem prepará-lo para a vivência dessa realidade. Como proposta de intervenção, o estudo sugere a criação de um ambiente educacional que incentive e promova o diálogo, onde essas questões sejam abertamente discutidas. Propõe-se, ainda, uma pedagogia que valorize as emoções a fim de despertar a criatividade e valorizar as relações intrapessoais, que incentive a expressão livre e segura dos alunos, proporcionando um espaço onde possam ser ouvidos sem julgamentos. A implementação de práticas educacionais que favoreçam a conexão emocional e o engajamento pode contribuir para a recuperação da emoção na educação, contrabalançando os efeitos desumanizadores do neoliberalismo.

Historically, medicinal herbs have been playing an essential role in the development of novel medications as well as the manufacturing of traditional herbal remedies. Brazil is among the nations in which commercialization of medicinal herbs is becoming more prevalent. This growth is attributed to the wealthy diversity of plants as well as the low cost of the therapy, as demonstrated by the fact that 82% of Brazilians use medicinal herbs on a regular basis to safeguard their good health. Utilizing qualitative as well as quantitative approaches, the primary objective of the investigation was to examine the way the aforementioned goods were being traded in São Luís marketplaces on the streets. According to information from stallholders, 86 products have been identified, the most of which were in oil form. These products have a variety of uses, including antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and expectorant qualities.  The five most popular products in terms of sales and demand have been identified according to the samples that had been collected. These consist of andiroba oil, copaiba oil, pequi oil, castor oil, and the annatto syrup. Without knowing the products' origins, the individuals being interviewed reported that they were merely selling them. The vast majority of the products (≈ 80%) did not have labels specifying indications, how to use, contraindications, origin, or validity and, for the few that did, the information was incomplete. The study demonstrated that although the utilization of medicinal plants is an essential component of conventional medicine, merchants continue to have a deficiency of technical knowledge that put human health at risk through carelessness or even inappropriate usage of these products.

Authors: Belotti Fernanda Maria , Cipriano Ricardo Augusto Scholz
Published: June 2024

Pegmatitos são rochas de grande importância econômica para o estado de Minas Gerais, sendo fundamentais para as indústrias de cerâmicas e vidros; metalúrgica; eletrônica; química e óptica; além de serem utilizados como rocha ornamental e produzirem uma diversidade de minerais gemológicos. Entretanto, a reduzida tecnologia empregada no processo de extração faz com que o grau de aproveitamento do potencial econômico dessas rochas seja baixo, o que gera uma significativa quantidade de rejeitos nas áreas de exploração. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial de reaproveitamento dos rejeitos de extração de pegmatito no processo de rochagem, realizado pela aplicação de pó de rocha ao solo, visando melhorar a sua fertilidade. Nesse sentido, amostras de rejeito foram coletadas em diversos garimpos no município de Conselheiro Pena/MG e analisadas por diferentes técnicas analíticas, incluindo Difratometria de Raios X com a utilização de refinamento Rietveld, Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura no modo Espectrometria de Energia Dispersiva de Raios-X e Fluorescência de Raios-X. A combinação de tais técnicas permitiu a determinação qualitativa e quantitativa da mineralogia dos rejeitos de pegmatitos e o seu conteúdo em elementos químicos nutrientes para o solo. Os dados indicaram a presença de diversos minerais ricos em elementos essenciais às plantas, como fósforo (P), potássio (K), manganês (Mn), magnésio (Mg) e cálcio (Ca). Foram identificadas amostras com teor de fósforo de 23,5%, teor de potássio de 6,7%, e teor de manganês de 10%. Os dados evidenciam o alto potencial de utilização dos rejeitos no processo de rochagem, garantindo uma fonte alternativa de fertilizantes para o solo e possibilitando um maior grau de aproveitamento econômico dos pegmatitos.

Authors: Chawla Kritika , Gupta Bandna
Published: June 2024

Objective: Seeing the fatality of the COVID-19 pandemic, stress response is quite expected in the general population and in psychiatric patients. Although studies regarding the same have been done on the general population, not many studies are available on patients having psychiatric illnesses. This study aimed to assess the stress response to COVID-19 and coping in patients with depression and anxiety and compare it with healthy controls.
Methods: About 41 patients suffering from anxiety and depression and 41 age and gender-matched healthy controls aged 18 to 60 years were included in the study. HAM-D was used to rate depression and HAM-A for anxiety. COVID stress scale and fear of COVID-19 scale were used to assess COVID stress. Cope inventory CARVER (Hindi translated version) was used to see how people responded to COVID stress.
Results: Fear of COVID-19 and COVID stress scale scores were significantly higher in the anxiety group than in the control group. Also, adaptive coping, including the use of instrumental social support, positive reinterpretation and growth, restraint, suppression of competing activities, active coping, acceptance, planning, use of emotional and social support, and humor, was used more by healthy controls. Patients suffering from depression used significantly more denial than the other two groups. Those suffering from anxiety used more focus on venting emotion and behavioral disengagement than the other two groups.
Conclusion: COVID stress was more common among those suffering from anxiety. Adaptive coping was used more by the healthy control group.

Published: June 2024

Bipolar affective disorder is a severe mental illness that affects 0.3% of the Indian population, as estimated in the National Mental Health Survey 2016.1 Antipsychotic drugs and mood stabilizers have both been used as first-line agents in the treatment of the manic phase of bipolar I disorder, either singly or in combination. Tamoxifen, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, has shown efficacy in the treatment of the manic phase of bipolar I disorder. Tamoxifen is recommended as a third-line agent in the treatment of bipolar mania, as per CANMAT and ISBD 2019 treatment guidelines on bipolar disorder.2
Evaluation of Language Dysfunction among Untreated Patients with Psychosis Attending the Psychiatry Inpatient Services of a Tertiary Healthcare Centre from North India: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Jain Aditi , Mehdi Abbas
Published: June 2024

Background: Psychosis, encompassing conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder with psychotic features, presents a perplexing landscape where language dysfunction emerges as a notable hallmark. Compared to classical psychotic symptoms (such as delusions and hallucinations), language disorganization can be directly observed, and it is not dependent upon subjective reports of abnormal experiences on part of the patient. Consequently, it has been regarded by researchers as a more objective and informative clinical marker of brain dysfunction in psychosis. There is a dearth of Indian studies in this domain and when compared to international studies, a strong need for revival of research has been felt.
Aim: To evaluate language dysfunction among first-admission untreated patients of psychosis using the clinical language disorder rating scale (CLANG).
Methodology: In this cross-sectional study, language dysfunction among 60 untreated psychotic patients who attended the psychiatry inpatient services of a tertiary care center from North India in the period from January 2022 to October 2023 were evaluated for the presence of language dysfunction using a valid tool called CLANG after taking approval from the Institutional Ethical Committee and with the informed consent of the patients and/or their caregivers. Data set for 60 patients regarding the sociodemographic-clinical profile and language dysfunction was obtained. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics as appropriate.
Results: Diagnosis-wise, most of our patients belonged to schizophrenia (n = 26) (43.33%). Rest of them psychotic disorders like bipolar affective disorder with psychotic symptoms (15%) and schizoaffective disorder (11.67%) to name a few. The most commonly affected language domains in our patients were referential failures (65%), discourse failures (46.67%) and lack of semantic association (16.67%). Schizophrenics were differentiated from non-schizophrenic psychosis patients based on lack of semantic association (exclusively seen in schizophrenics). Referential failures and discourse failures were commonly noted in both schizophrenia and non-schizophrenic psychotic disorders. Poverty of speech was rather predominant in mood disorders with psychotic symptoms. Conclusion: The findings of our study put emphasis on the fact that language dysfunction is a core component of the phenomenon of psychosis and perhaps revalidates the neural basis of psychosis. The domain ‘lack of semantic association’ was typically present in patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, while other language abnormalities like referential failures and abnormal prosody were generally present in patients of untreated psychosis.
Walking a Fine Line. Navigating Middle-class Paradoxes of Sexuality, Gender, and Belonging by Dhaka’s Youth
Authors: Camellia Suborna
Published: June 2024

Middle-class youngsters in Dhaka, the quickly developing capital of Bangladesh, are facing contradictory demands. On the one hand they live in a patriarchal society marked by gender inequality expressed in gender segregation, sexual purity, sexual harassment of women and a focus on the male breadwinner. On the other hand, profiting from economic developments and schooling, they have the financial and intellectual resources to explore new spaces and to buy the appliances that can connect them with the views and images of the whole world, including those on gender and sexuality. In this thesis, adolescent sexuality of middle-class girls and boys is explored from their own perspective, and it is studied how these young people navigate in this situation of conflicting demands at home, at school, in Love Lane and on the Internet. The research sheds light on how their concerns diverge from the usual focus on ‘dangers’ in scholarly depictions of sexual and reproductive health issues. It challenges the traditional binary view that conceives of adolescents as either passively reproducing or deliberately transgressing dominant norms. Instead, their negotiations of sexuality and gender are intricately tied to their aspirations for modernity and cosmopolitanism, as well as their desire to attain a respectful middle-class standing within their families, peer groups, and society at large. For practitioners and policymakers in the field of sexual and reproductive rights within the country, adopting an emic perspective can prove valuable in understanding the complexities of adolescent everyday experiences and concerns of sexuality, gender and belonging.

IoT-Based Energy Consumption Prediction Using Transformers
Authors: Alıoghlı Abdul Amir , Yıldırım Okay Feyza
Published: June 2024

With the advancement of various IoT-based systems, the amount of data is steadily increasing. The increase of data on a daily basis is essential for decision-makers to assess current situations and formulate future policies. Among the various types of data, time-series data presents a challenging relationship between current and future dependencies. Time-series prediction aims to forecast future values of target variables by leveraging insights gained from past data points. Recent advancements in deep learning-based algorithms have surpassed traditional machine learning-based algorithms for time-series in IoT systems. In this study, we employ Enc & Dec Transformer, the latest advancements in neural networks for time-series prediction problems. The obtained results were compared with Encoder-only and Decoder-only Transformer blocks as well as well-known recurrent based algorithms, including 1D-CNN, RNN, LSTM, and GRU. To validate our approach, we utilize three different univariate time-series datasets collected on an hourly basis, focusing on energy consumption within IoT systems. Our results demonstrate that our proposed Transformer model outperforms its counterparts, achieving a minimum Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 0.020 on small, 0.008 on medium, and 0.006 on large-sized datasets.

The implementation of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) and the effectiveness of decision-making play a significant role in enhancing the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This research aims to examine the influence of AIS and decision-making effectiveness on the performance of MSMEs in Pematang Serai Village, Tanjung Pura District. Using a quantitative method and a saturated sampling technique involving 35 MSMEs, multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to test the relationship between AIS, decision-making effectiveness, and MSME performance. The research findings indicate that the adoption of AIS has a significant positive impact on MSME performance, with MSMEs effectively utilizing AIS more likely to experience increased revenue growth, profitability, and operational efficiency. Furthermore, the effectiveness of decision-making was found to have a positive impact on MSME performance, enabling MSMEs to respond quickly to market changes, identify growth opportunities, and optimize resource allocation. By integrating quantitative and qualitative findings, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the influence of AIS and decision-making effectiveness on MSME performance in Pematang Serai Village

The geopolitical changes that took place in Transcaucasia especially the strengthening of the positions of the Russian Socialist Federation Soviet Republic (RSFSR) and the establishment of the Soviet rule in Azerbaijan, took the Azerbaijani delegation in Paris and its leader, Ali Mardan-bek Topchubashov by surprise. However, despite the fact that the international community did not recognize Baku's authority and even more so in territories not controlled by it, its aggressive intentions did not change.

Դժվար է հստակեցնել այն տարածքները, որոնց վրա տարածվում է Ադրբեջանի կառավարության իշխանությունը։ 2. Տարածքային վեճերը հարևան երկրների հետ թույլ չեն տալիս հստակորեն որոշել Ադրբեջանի սահմանները»։ Դրանով իսկ Ազգերի լիգան հրաժարվեց պաշտպանել Թոփչիբաշևի առավելապաշտ ցանկություններն արտահայտող՝ իրավական որևէ հիմք չունեցող տնաբույս քարտեզներով ծավալապաշտական հավակնությունները: Ավելին, Ազգերի լիգայի արդարացի որոշումով մեկ անգամ ևս փաստվում է այն իրողությունը, որ այսպես կոչված «Ադրբեջան պետական կազմավորումը» մուսավաթական կառավարության շրջանում (1918 թ. մայիսի 28 – 1920 թ. ապրիլի 28) չի ունեցել հստակ սահմաններ ու տարածք, միաժամանակ հավակնել է իր կողմից չտնօրինվող և իրեն չպատկանող տարածքների, մասնավորապես՝ ի բնե հայկական Արցախին, Զանգեզուրին ու Նախիջևանին:
1 ноября 1920 г. глава азербайджанской делегации в Париже Али Мардан-бек Топчибашев обратился к генеральному секретарю Лиги Наций Эрику Друммонду с просьбой о принятии Азербайджана в данную международную организацию. Однако планы азербайджанской делегации не увенчались успехом. Избранный ассамблеей Лиги Наций «Комитет пяти» на 4-м заседании от 1 декабря 1920 г., обсудив заявление Топчибашева, постановил: «Азербайджанская Республика не может быть принята в Лигу Наций». Решение было основано на следующих аргументах: 1. «Трудно уточнить те территории, на которые распространялась власть правительства Азербайджана. 2. Территориальные споры с соседними странами не позволяют четко определить границы Азербайджана». Таким образом, Лига Наций отказалась признать «кустарные» карты территории Азербайджана, начерченные Топчибашевым без каких-либо юридических оснований. Более того, по справедливому решению Лиги Наций еще раз документально подтверждался тот факт, что так называемое «государственное образование Азербайджан» в период мусаватского правления (28 мая 1918 г. – 28 апреля 1920 г.) не имело четких границ и территории, но при этом претендовало на господство над территориями, которые не контролировались им и не принадлежали ему, то есть на исконно армянские Арцах, Зангезур и Нахичевань.
Method to identify if torsional mode of a building is its first mode
Authors: G TAMIZHARASI , C.V.R.Mury
Published: June 2024

Torsionally flexible buildings (that have torsional mode as fundamental mode) twist during earthquake shaking, and may collapse partially or completely depending upon the direction and level of shaking. The problem is aggravated when the building is torsionally unsymmetrical. Some design codes (like Eurocode, Indian Code) explicitly prohibit the design of such buildings. This paper presents a simple approximate method to identify torsionally flexible RC Moment Frame and RC Structural Wall buildings at the initial proportioning stage itself without carrying out a detailed structural analysis. It is possible to identify whether or not the first mode is torsional mode of a building (i.e., torsionally flexible building) if Natural Period Ratio τ>1 by modelling the building with rigid diaphragm and distribution of mass & stiffness along the height of building, and estimating: (1) radius of gyration of rotational mass rm of each floor plan geometry by lumping the masses of slabs, beams and all vertical elements at each nodes, (2) radius of gyration of twisting stiffness rKθ of all vertical elements using their translational and torsional stiffnesses (considering flexibility of adjoining beams and vertical elements accounting for both flexural and shear deformations), and (iv) τ (=rm/rKθ). The method is validated with 3D Modal Analysis (using τ =Tθ/T, where Tθ is Uncoupled Torsional Natural Period and T Uncoupled Translational Natural Period) of hypothetical buildings using a commercial structural analysis software. Also, parameters are identified that lead to τ>1, and solutions suggested to avoid torsional flexibility in buildings. Further, the method helps identify vertical stiffness irregularity in buildings. Draft provisions are suggested for inclusion in seismic codes. Also, poor performance of multi-storey building (with τ>1) is demonstrated using nonlinear static and nonlinear time history analyses.
