Authors: Franco-Ramírez Juan Darío , Cortés Navarro Jorge Luis , Hurtado Arango Gregorio Arturo , Prado Echeverry Julio Andrés , Sierra Gutiérrez Juan Pablo , García Torres. Adriana
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: The suicide rate in the last 45 years has increased considerably in the world, being the frequency of attempted suicide 20 times higher than that of completed suicide. Pereira is one of the cities with the highest rates in the country.
METHODS: This qualitative research uses grounded theory as an analysis method, obtaining the data through semi-structured open-type interviews with selective purposive sampling. The analysis of the interviews was done through the grounded theory method and the results are expressed through the theory of social representations.
RESULTS: The findings of this research present the discourse of hospitalized patients with suicide attempt. According to social representations, family and derivatives are vital for individual development and their relationship with the environment. Dysfunctions in the family nucleus increase the risk of developing negative thoughts, which can later turn into suicidal behavior. Associated psychiatric pathologies, low self-esteem, relationship problems, sexual abuse and feelings of rejection are risk factors, while study, life projects, and spirituality are protective factors. No relationship was found regarding the consumption of psychoactive substances.
CONCLUSION: The family is fundamental in the configuration of the individual and its role as a protective or risk factor in terms of suicide attempt depends on its functionality. It is suggested that work in the families could serve as a strategy for the prevention of the non-fatal suicidal act.

Agujero crítico. De un nihilismo material
Authors: Rodríguez Federico
Published: January 2024

¿Qué son los agujeros? ¿Por qué atraen y asustan al mismo tiempo? ¿Qué esconden? Se improvisa aquí una respuesta desde el estudio de algunas páginas escogidas de la tradición fenomenológica (en especial: Heidegger, Sartre, Granel y Derrida), mostrando en qué sentido el agujero es, en primera instancia, la cosa misma del criticismo (propedéutica de la filosofía de Kant), es decir, la verdad de su realidad material como inasible fondo perceptivo, y, al mismo tiempo, la génesis estricta de lo que se llegó a llamar en los años sesenta “deconstrucción” (Abbau, Entsetzung).

Published: January 2024

This research attempts to better understand how students in Saudi Arabia benefit from narrative and story aspects in gamified learning environments. Data from a sample of 500 persons with varying levels of education are analyzed using quantitative methods such as descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The findings point to strong positive correlations between the use of gamification in education, the influence of storytelling, narrative variables, and the acquisition of new skills. There has been a significant shift toward the use of narrative variables as measures of mastery in gamified classrooms. This study's results show that using gamified learning with story elements may increase students' interest, motivation, and knowledge retention. Efforts are now being made by Saudi Arabia to update its educational system and provide its youth with the tools they'll need to succeed in the country's emerging knowledge-based economy. The use of game-based learning and narrative-rich experiences has promising results in this setting.
A four-state Markov model for modelling bursty traffic and benchmarking of random early detection
Authors: Abu-Shareha Ahmad Adel , Abualhaj Mosleh M. , Alshahrani Ali , Al-Kasasbeh Basil
Published: January 2024

Active Queue Management (AQM) techniques are crucial for managing packet transmission efficiently, maintaining network performance, and preventing congestion in routers. However, achieving these objectives demands precise traffic modeling and simulations in extreme and unstable conditions. The internet traffic has distinct characteristics, such as aggregation, burstiness, and correlation. This paper presents an innovative approach for modeling internet traffic, addressing the limitations of conventional modeling and conventional AQM methods' development, which are primarily designed to stabilize the network traffic. The proposed model leverages the power of multiple Markov Modulated Bernoulli Processes (MMBPs) to tackle the challenges of traffic modeling and AQM development. Multiple states with varying probabilities are used to model packet arrivals, thus capturing the burstiness inherent in internet traffic. Yet, the overall probability is maintained identical, irrespective of the number of states (one, two, or four), by solving linear equations with multiple variables. Random Early Detection (RED) was used as a case study method with different packet arrival probabilities based on MMBPs with one, two, and four states. The results showed that the proposed model influences the outcomes of AQM methods. Furthermore, it was found that RED might not effectively address network burstiness due to its relatively slow reaction time. As a result, it can be concluded that RED performs optimally only with a single-state model.

This study on the moderating effect of electronic quality in mobile marketing aims to examine the factors that influence how Saudi commercial banks are viewed by their customers. A research framework that sheds light on the state of the research was developed after a comprehensive analysis of the accessible literature. The theoretical foundation of this study is the idea of perceived characteristics, which identifies five critical factors that influence adoption rates. The empirical results of this study are presented based on a sample of 300 respondents (n = 300). The research was conducted using the statistical technique of least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The reporting format conforms to accepted PLS-SEM analysis standards. The results reveal a significant association between mobile marketing and customer perceptions in the context of Saudi commercial banks, especially when electronic quality is used as a mediating variable. Based on these findings, we suggest that Saudi commercial banks should strategically include e-quality in their digital marketing campaigns, paying special attention to mobile marketing.
Comparison of distance-based spatial weight matrix in modeling Internet signal strengths in Tasikmalaya regency using logistic spatial autoregressive model
Authors: Notonegoro Yuhana , Andriyana Yudhie , Ruchjana Budi Nurani
Published: January 2024

To ensure that national development objectives in rural areas are achieved evenly and sustainably, the Government of Indonesia applies the principles of Village Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are derivative programs of SDGs. One of the indicators in measuring the progress and independence of villages in Indonesia is the availability of cellular phone signal access. Cellular phone signals have a vital role because most internet users in Indonesia rely on mobile data connections from cellular operators. However, the signal emitted by a provider tower has a limited range. According to the data of the Developing Villages Index in 2022, Tasikmalaya Regency is one of the regencies with the highest number of villages that have weak signal strength in West Java Province, Indonesia. To examine the effect of distance and height difference between the placement of the nearest provider tower and the location of the Village Office on the internet signal strength category in Tasikmalaya Regency, Logistic Spatial Autoregressive modeling is needed. In this study, the Bayesian Markov-Chain Monte Carlo estimation method was used, because it has advantages in flexibility and computational efficiency. In spatial modeling, there is a spatial weight matrix determined by the researcher’s understanding of the observed phenomenon. The variable observed in this study is signal strength, which has an orientation at a distance. However, there are several types of distance-based spatial weight matrices, such as K-nearest neighbor, radial distance, power distance, and exponential distance. To determine the most suitable distance-based spatial weight matrix in internet signal strength modeling, the four (4) weight matrices were compared based on the goodness of fit measure models, calculated from the confusion matrix. The results of the analysis showed that the radial distance weight matrix with a threshold distance of d = 1.7km is the most suitable use of distance-based spatial weight matrix in internet signal modeling in Tasikmalaya Regency. The weight matrix exerted a positive spatial autocorrelation effect of 57.141%. In addition, the height difference factor between the location of the provider tower with the location of the village office has a greater effect than the horizontal distance.

This study conducts a quantitative inquiry into how components of gamification and customization are being used in Saudi Arabia's educational system. In our investigation, we zero in on how these factors could contribute to skill development. This investigation uses a thorough and rigorous quantitative research approach to probe students' preferences for gamification components and their thoughts on customization. The findings highlight the amazing congruence between people's preference for gamification components like points and badges and the need for adaptation and feedback in optimizing the effectiveness of the educational process. Through careful component analysis, the current investigation successfully separates two distinct constructs: one highlights the importance of flexibility and responsiveness, while the other emphasizes the significance of pace and cultural appropriateness. The results of this research have important policy and practice implications for Saudi Arabia, where educational reforms are now underway. The goal of these changes is to boost academic performance by introducing student-specific, interactive gaming into the classroom.

Repressing the Voice, Increasing the Noise: The Imperative for Negotiation as a Panacea to Security Crisis in the South East, Nigeria (PART I)
Authors: EBONINE Victor Chukwugekwu
Published: January 2024

This article is divided into two parts: Part I and II. This part I discusses the provenance of insecurity in Nigeria, the theories explaining its emergence and the birth of militant groups in the region. Though there is no part of Nigeria that is immune to infectious insecurity, the case of South East is more worrisome. The security crisis in the region has been worsened by the intractable and complex secessionist agitation that started immediately after Nigeria’s independence. Common theories for explaining the situation have been long-term political marginalization of the region, state fragility to manage diversities and bad governance from the Igbo political elites. The conclusion of this part, therefore, is that insecurity in the South East Nigeria can be analyzed from these theories.

The mediating effect of positive psychological capital in the relationship between childcare teachers' job stress and childcare practices that respect the rights of young children
Authors:   Korea Association Of Child-centered Practice, Jeong Myunghee , Suh HyeJeon
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating effect of positive psychological capital, a teacher's psychological variable, in the relationship between childcare teachers' job stress and childcare practices that respect the rights of young children. The subjects of the study were 250 childcare teachers working at daycare centers in Daegu City and Gyeongsangbuk-do. Prior to the main survey, the questionnaire was reviewed by two relevant experts to evaluate its appropriateness, and the final questionnaire was completed after a preliminary survey of 15 child care teachers on the understandability and appropriateness of the phrases. The results of this study are summarized as follows. Firstly, in the correlation between childcare teachers' job stress, positive psychological capital, and childcare practices respecting the rights of young children, it was found that childcare practices that respect the rights of young children had a negative relationship with job stress and a positive relationship with positive psychological capital.
Secondly, positive psychological capital was found to be a statistically significant partial mediating variable in the relationship between childcare teachers' job stress and childcare practices that respect the rights of young children. Based on the results of this study, it was suggested that a variety of psychological support systems for child care teachers, including programs that promote the positive psychological capital of child care teachers, need to be established and provided. This is because even if childcare teachers have job stress, the mediating role of positive psychological capital helps them to better implement childcare that respects the rights of young children.

¿Bioética o biopolítica? Libertad y responsabilidad en una perspectiva de género (o en una perspectiva feminista)
Authors: Giolo Orsetta
Published: January 2024

La riflessione bioetica femminista è notoriamente molto ricca e partecipata. In questa sede non si propone una ricognizione delle diverse posizioni che in essa si possono riconoscere e distinguere, ma si indagano, nella prospettiva del femminismo giuridico, due principi cardine che investono ogni discussione nell’ambito bioetico: la libertà e la responsabilità. L’intento è di comprendere quale sia la relazione che sussiste attualmente tra le concezioni genderizzate di questi due principi, le loro interpretazioni neoliberali e l’uso strumentale del corpo delle donne, che continua ad essere inteso – e spesso anche legittimamente, sul piano giuridico - quale mezzo di soddisfazione delle esigenze altrui e di governo delle popolazioni. Bioetica e biopolitica, in questa prospettiva, finiscono per confondersi e fondersi nella questione delle odierne (neoliberali) articolazioni e trasformazioni del potere.
History of Shoushan Stone Culture Three Kingdoms to North & South Dynasties Period
Authors: Zhang Yiqing
Published: January 2024

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Wu's influence expanded to central Fujian, leading to the establishment of administrative districts. Northerners sought refuge from the turmoil by migrating south, significantly impacting Fuzhou's development. This influx of people reshaped the city's culture and enriched its Central Plains influence. Over time, Fuzhou's cultural landscape evolved as local culture integrated with Han culture, and the efforts of prefects and scholars further promoted the spread of Han culture. Notably, the discovery of the Shoushan stone pig in Fuzhou during the Southern Dynasties reflects the lasting influence of Central Plains culture on local customs, highlighting the city's artistic heritage. Furthermore, the historical roots of Shoushan stone carvings, originating in the Southern Dynasties, challenge prior beliefs and emphasize the connection between Shoushan stone culture and different historical periods.
To What Extent Does Perceived Social Support/Family Acceptance Affect LGBTQ+ Adolescents' Mental Health in China?
Authors: Xue Jinyi
Published: January 2024

Given the global discussion surrounding LGBTQ+ rights and welfare, this research addresses mental health nuances specific to Chinese adolescents who identify as LGBTQ+. Understanding how perceptions of social support work within Chinese societal structures shaped by historical and Confucian values is paramount. Adolescence, which is already a challenging stage of identity formation, becomes even more so for LGBTQ+ individuals due to society's recognition and acceptance that can directly impact their mental well-being. Utilizing positive psychology, this research investigates the protective role that social support has for its recipients. Through the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12), this research seeks to understand the relationship between perceived social support and mental health in this demographic. Due to the sensitivity surrounding LGBTQ+ identities in China, an online survey method was selected and distributed via key Chinese platforms. Our findings indicated a striking negative correlation between perceived social support and psychological distress - emphasizing the significance of peer and family acknowledgment for individual well-being. This study provides a platform for understanding LGBTQ+ experiences in China and developing interventions that address their mental well-being.
The Silent Exodus: The Decline of the Yiddish Language in the Aftermath of the Holocaust
Authors: Luo Manchang
Published: January 2024

Despite the hundreds of organizations and museums dedicated to documenting the atrocity of the Holocaust and the sufferings of the Jewish People, very few documents and museums touch upon the impact the Holocaust has brought upon the language of Yiddish. Very little is known today about the distribution of Yiddish speakers throughout the world. Additionally, very little research has been made about the aspects in the aftermath of the Holocaust that has smothered the language. This study focuses on those aspects that have rendered the Yiddish language almost extinct and attempts to reveal the complexity and variety of negative impacts that the Holocaust has had. I found that a combination of antisemitic legislature, religious movements, and mass migrations led to the ultimate downfall of Yiddish.

Authors: li Angela
Published: January 2024

This paper examines the effects of social media on the mental health of young adults in the United States. Considering that social media has been a significant part of daily lives, the effects caused by social media should be clearly identified before using them, and a clear understanding of the health problems caused by various uses of social media should be gained. Social media, however, is limited by methodological limitations, such as a lack of comprehensive sampling and measures, and the use of social media within this range. The hypothetical impact mechanism of social media on mental health should be further explored through qualitative surveys and interviews with specific populations. Due to the purpose of this research is to precisely describe the effects and the sources of harm caused by social media. The results of the research indicates a strong correlation between social media usage and adverse outcomes, including increased anxiety, depression, and loneliness. The paper concludes with recommendations for social media companies and individuals to promote healthier use of social media.

Published: January 2024

Introduction:

Few current studies have examined loss to follow-up after rotator cuff–related shoulder arthroscopy. Understanding the demographic and surgical factors for missed follow-up would help identify patients most at risk and potentially mitigate the onset of complications while maximizing clinical outcomes.

Methods:

A retrospective review of consecutive rotator cuff arthroscopic procedures with a minimum of 12-month follow-up done by a single, fellowship-trained surgeon was undertaken from February 2016 through January 2022. Demographic patient and surgical data, including age, sex, marital status, self-identified race, and body mass index, were collected. Follow-up at ≤3, 6 weeks, 3, 6, and 12 months was determined. Patient-related and surgical predictors for missed short-term follow-up, defined as nonattendance at the 6 and 12-month postoperative visits, were identified.

Results:

There were 449 cases included, of which 248 (55%) were women. The median age was 57 years (interquartile range [IQR], 51 to 62). Patients with commercial insurance (odds ratio [OR], 0.38; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.23 to 0.64; P < 0.001) or workers' compensation (OR, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.05 to 0.43; P < 0.001) were less likely to miss the 6-month follow-up compared with patients with Medicare, whereas increased socioeconomic deprivation (OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.77 to 0.97, P = 0.015) was associated with decreased odds of missing that visit. Patients who missed the ≤3 weeks (OR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.14 to 2.74, P = 0.010) and 3-month (OR, 8.55; 95% CI, 4.33 to 16.86; P < 0.001) follow-ups were more likely to miss the 6-month follow-up. Use of a patient contact system (OR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.35 to 0.87, P = 0.01) and increased number of preoperative visits (OR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.84 to 0.99, P = 0.033) were associated with decreased odds of missing the 12-month follow-up. Patients who missed the 6-month follow-up were more likely to miss the 12-month follow-up (OR, 5.38; 95% CI, 3.45 to 8.40; P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

Implementing an electronic patient contact system while increasing focus on patients with few preoperative visits and who miss the 6-month follow-up can reduce the risk of missed follow-up at 12 months after shoulder arthroscopy.

The present work deals with the preparation of four mixed ligand chelates that resulted from the reaction of Schiff base[coupling of 2-hydroxyacetophenone and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (HL1) and 2-aminobenzoic acid (L2)]. The Schiff base, 2-aminobenzoic acid and their mixed ligand chelates were offered to several physicochemical tools; CHN elemental analyses, molar conductivity, magnetic moments, thermogravimetric analysis, IR and 1HNMR, Basis on the obtained results, the mixed ligand chelates appeared in the 1:1:1 [M:L1:L2] ratio as found from the elemental analysis data and found to have the formulae [L1ML2(H2O)2], where M = Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) ions and [L1FeL2(ONO2)(H2O)], Meanwhile, the 1:1:2[M:L1:L2] ratio is for  [L1Cr(L2)2] complex, The molar conductance results revealed that the mixed ligand chelates were non-electrolytes, whereas, the magnetic moments were used to confirm the coordinating capacity of the ligands, infrared spectra displayed that the Schiff base, 2-aminobenzoic acid were bonded to the metal ions in a bidentate manner with donor sites. According to the results obtained from the electronic spectra,  an octahedral structure was suggested for all the chelates. Also, the hydrated and coordinated water molecules were discussed using thermogravimetric analysis. Antimicrobial activities of the prepared compounds were tested on several types of bacteria and fungi and their activities were reported.

An elegy for love and hometown :  as a poetic film
Authors:   Asia Cultural Creativity Inst., Wei Huiping
Published: January 2024

Director Zhang Lv's works have a kind of rare quality of poetic films. In terms of poetry and appeal, the film “The Long Confession” demonstrates the creative characteristics of an Asian director who uses film as a lyric poem. Important cultural images such as willows, plum blossoms, and rivers were selected andblended into the film, adding a poetic realm based on oriental connotations to the film language. As a result, the polysemous characteristics of the words themselves, time and space are transferred between memory and reality, becoming a projection of the inner world of the characters in the play. Chinese, Japanese, English and Korean, these four languagesappear in the film. These languages are intertwined and used as metaphors of identification to outline a picture of mutual recognition and understanding between the main characters. The blurring of hometown and parents brings a literary theme of separation to this film. The director built a common context withmany East Asian literary images, aims at creating a very special psychology space, which shows that it seems hometown lies everywhere, but also you will figure out that it is really difficult to confirm where is your hometown. In the exploration on poetic style, Director Zhang Lv used an individual narrative technique that abstracted away the macro perspective to create a dreamland about love and life, about hometown and separation.

A bibliometric analysis was performed over the period 1992–2023, to pinpoint important trends, emphasis, and geographic distribution of international reference evapotranspiration (ETo) modeling research using intelligence-based approaches. Data was mined from the databases of the online version of Web of Science. The data was analyzed using the Excel program, and the bibliometric mapping was performed using the VOSviewer software. A total of 1148 articles met the required criteria. The findings indicated that the number of articles had increased rapidly over the past five years and that English was the prevalent language (99.5%). Researchers in 99 countries have published in this field of research. China ranked first with 356 articles (31.0%), followed by the United States of America with 193 articles (16.8%). Egypt and Saudi Arabia are two of the top 15 countries in the world. These articles were published in 289 journals; the Journal of Hydrology was the most productive journal (95 articles, 8.3%), followed by Computers and Electronics in Agriculture (67, 5.8%). The most productive author is Kisi Ozgur from Turkey (68 articles, 4.2%). Taking into account all the institutions working on ETo modeling (1555 institutions), the Chinese Academy of Science was ranked first (80 articles, 7.0%), followed by the Egyptian Knowledge Bank (55 articles, 4.8%). Artificial neural networks and machine learning were the most commonly used intelligence-based approaches for ETo modeling. Reinforcement learning was the least popular technique for ETo modeling, which could be due to its complexity and data requirements.
