In this paper, we present an early-stage Sustainable Return on Investment (esSROI) measurement tool to evaluate the impact of early-stage business models. The main objective for developing the tool is to capture the holistic sustainability-related impacts of the incubation process from start-ups already during the conceptualization and pre-seed phases. An early, holistic impression of sustainable potential offers many opportunities to iteratively improve the degree of potential sustainable impact. The scope of designing and alternating business models is the widest early in the process before narrowing it down. This very early application differentiates esSROI from other tools that are used later in seed phases. Applying the tool in the conceptualization phase might make it even more usable already among (student) teams before incubation/acceleration. The quantitative measurement tool esSROI consists of a questionnaire design and follows a triangulation and long-term approach that includes three measurement points that capture the iterative progress. A preliminary study has been conducted in 2022 and shows that the tool is easy to use and accepted by founders.

Community Characteristics and Soil Biological Processes during Regrowth of Subtropical Forest Ecosystems
Authors: Arunachalam A. , Arunachalam K.
Published: August 2023

The loss of species following disturbances may reduce the resilience of ecosystems to stress. It is thus understood that diversity of plant species may affect the functional processes in a disturbed ecosystem. This paper reports on the biomass accumulation patterns in litter, roots, and microbial biomass across changing community characteristics along a successional gradient in a regrowing broadleaved forest following felling and in a pine forest on abandoned agricultural lands in a subtropical environment of north-eastern India. The species diversity index had a linear relationship with litter, fine roots and microbial biomass accumulation in the broadleaved forest regrowths, while density and basal area of pine trees were negatively correlated to these functional processes. Over all, there were significant positive correlations among litter, fine roots and microbial biomass. These results suggest that woody vegetation characteristics could be an index to explain the biomass dynamics of the three soil biological processes that increased during community development following disturbances. Species evenness index had no relationships with the biological processes. Nevertheless, the usage of community characteristics as an index of biological processes could be ecosystem specific in general and type of successional vegetation in particular.

Due to its potential to enhance patient outcomes and ease individualized therapy, predictive medicine has received considerable interest in recent years. In this article we examine the use of data mining in predictive medicine, with a particular emphasis on hemodynamic prediction for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease. In AAA, the abdominal aortic wall becomes weakened and may rupture, putting the patient's life in danger. Clinical decision making and treatment planning for AAA rely heavily on accurate hemodynamic prediction. For developing these predictive models for hemodynamic assessment, we use the well-known data mining techniques of Random Forest (RF) and AdaBoost. To capture complicated interactions, the RF approach employs a collection of decision trees, while AdaBoost iteratively improves the model by giving more weight to examples that were incorrectly classified. The experimental evidence shows that these methods are effective in providing reliable estimates of the hemodynamics of AAA. This research adds to the expanding field of predictive medicine by providing new understanding of the potential of data mining methods to improve the quality of care for patients with AAA illness.
A Semantic Approach for Extracting the Medical Association Rules
Authors:   Computer Science and Intelligent Systems Research Center, Blacksburg 24060,  Virginia, USA, Towfek S. K.
Published: August 2023

Healthcare data analytics has indispensable responsibility in advancing remedial decision-making and healthcare practices. In this paper, a novel semantic approach is introduced for extracting medical association rules, designed at discovering expressive interactions between medical things. Our methodology incorporates medical ontologies, and improved semantic measures to boost the accuracy and interpretability of the obtained rules. Our method delivers clinically pertinent information into patient perspectives on mental health, the accessibility of mental health resources, and the influence of physical health on mental well-being by mapping medical notions to ontological items and examining semantic relationships. Experimental validation on a case study of mental health dataset proves the dominance of our method over traditional association rule mining methods. The proposed semantic method presents valuable support to healthcare data analysis and decision-making processes.

Authors: Yue Xu
Published: August 2023

In recent years, the live broadcast industry has been booming, but some anchors have realized that their images are not consistent with the images of recommended products, which will affect consumers' purchasing intentions. This paper takes consumer perception as the theoretical basis to construct a hypothesis model and takes situational experiment as the research method. Finally, the conclusion is drawn that the inconsistency between anchor image and product image will have a negative effect on consumers' purchase intention, and consumers' perception of anchor professionalism and perceived product reliability play a mediating role between the two. The text puts forward a new explanation mechanism in theory, and has some enlightening effect on the selection of anchor team in practice.

Sense-making in Cross-channel Design
Authors: Fisher Jon , Norris Simon , Buie Elizabeth
Published: August 2023

Successful cross-channel user experiences rely upon a strong informational layer that creates understanding amongst users of a service. This pervasive information layer helps users form conceptual models about how the overall experience works (irrespective of the channel in which they reside). This paper explores the early development of a practical framework for the creation of meaningful cross-channel information architectures or “architectures of meaning”. We explore the strategic roles that individual channels can play as well as the different factors that can degrade a user‘s understanding within a cross-channel user experience

Published: August 2023

In this work, a comparative study on Moringa oleifera (MO) oil extraction techniques were conducted. MO seeds were collected from the Far North Region of Cameroon and oil was extracted using Soxhlet (SO), Ultrasonic (US) and Cold press (PR) methods. Physicochemical characteristics and fatty acid composition were determined for each MO oil extracted. The SO seems to be the effective method for oil extraction with a yield equal to 38.94 ± 0.28%, followed by US 35.11 ± 1.45% and at least PR (23.00 ± 1.00%). Moreover, myristic and lignoceric acids were found at low concentration in all extracted oil. However, the unsaturated fatty acid composition of the extracted oils follows PR>US>SO order. Oleic acid was the main unsaturated fatty acid with high rate obtained using PR and SO extractions (75.37%, 75.31% respectively) which is not very different from that obtained by US extraction (74.85). A higher value of acidity was noted in PR extraction method and lower oxidative state value was noted in PR extracted oil comparing to US and SO methods. No major differences were observed for the other physic-chemical parameters. Major and minor saturated fatty acids were palmitic and myristic acids, respectively. Lower total saturated fatty acids were recorded in PR extracted MO oil. We found also linoleic and linolenic acids in the group of unsaturated fatty acids of MO oil.

This research investigated the combined effects of cooking methods (household griddle (C1), household conventional oven (C2), industrial oven (C3), storage temperature (refrigeration /freezing) and packaging system (aerobic and vacuum), on quality of chicken burgers. The results show that refrigeration storage favours the retention of moisture content and the juiciness of chicken burgers, but the application of vacuum (RV) was the best option to maintain the juiciness and moisture content (p < 0.05) of the samples prepared in an industrial oven with forced-air convection. The highest protein content was observed in the samples that were frozen in vacuum packaging (FV), and the lipid content was highest in the samples chilled in conventional packaging (RC) at 1 atm. Regardless of the cooking method used and the internal pressure of the packages (≤ 1 atm), refrigerated storage contributed to the best scores (p < 0.05) for color and flavor attributes. The treatments that presented the highest sensory acceptance index were the frozen samples in vacuum packaging prepared in the industrial oven, conventional oven, and grill (90%, 82.66%, and 74.33%, respectively).

Construção interdisciplinar do conceito de número irracional PI utilizando resíduos sólidos
Authors: Rodrigues Alessandra de Araújo , De Souza Mikael Martins , Alves Júnior Tales , Dos Santos Francisco das Chagas Mendes
Published: August 2023

A matemática é uma ciência presente no nosso dia-a-dia, pois ela é utilizada cotidianamente em nossas vidas e sociedade. Pesquisas apontam uma enorme preocupação sobre problemas relacionados ao processo de ensino e aprendizagem do conceito de número irracional que é ensinado no ensino fundamental. Analisando o conceito de números irracionais nos livros de Matemática do Programa Nacional do Livro Didático, observou-se a falta de dois requisitos determinados pela BNCC e pelas PCNs: a contextualização e a interdisciplinaridade. Além disso, o conceito do número irracional PI nos livros de matemática sofreu uma reformulação por volta do ano 2010, deixando de ser definido como os números que não são racionais para os números que são decimais aperiódicos. Por outro lado, no Brasil, os assuntos relacionados ao meio ambiente são somente lembrados de forma pontual, como na semana do meio ambiente e dia da Terra, e a abordagem nas escolas sobre as causas ambientais é feita de forma não-interdisciplinar. Com vistas a preencher a lacuna da falta de contextualização e interdisciplinaridade propõe-se nesse trabalho de pesquisa uma metodologia baseada na abordagem cognitivista cujo contexto é a problemática mundial do descarte inadequado dos resíduos sólidos e o problema de pesquisa é a aprendizagem do conceito de número irracional PI. Nossa metodologia foi dividida em sete etapas, que envolveram uma: dinâmica em grupo para a apresentação da equipe de pesquisadores, aplicação de aula expositiva sobre os 5 R’s da sustentabilidade; aplicação de questionários formulados pela equipe, com o objetivo de registrar a percepção dos discentes; construção de figuras poligonais regulares de 4 a 32 lados congruentes a partir do uso de materiais reciclados dos resíduos sólidos; Inscrição e circunscrição dos polígonos regulares em uma circunferência com base em material reciclado; aplicação do método de Arquimedes para estimar os valores de PI através das mensurações; determinação por aproximação para o valor do PI e discussão dessa aproximação do valor de PI para em consenso estabelecimento por determinação do valor de PI. Por fim, foi realizada uma atividade pedagógica usando objetos dos resíduos sólidos para mensuração de diâmetros para cálculo de áreas e volumes. O resultado mais significativo foi a sensibilização da diferença entre um número racional e irracional e sua importância no conceito do contínuo para a compreensão do conjunto dos números reais.
Discerning geomorphological aspects of tsunami risk in Pangandaran, West Java, Indonesia

Published: August 2023

The geomorphological understanding of earth dynamics, including the relationship between landforms and their processes, was one of the earliest and most specific contributions to disaster prevention. Disaster geomorphology is one of the approaches in disaster studies, which includes aspects of landforms, processes, and results of physical processes that have the potential and can cause disasters. The landform is of risk factors that can turn natural hazards into natural disasters and determines the damage that disasters can cause to human activities. Following the 2006 South Java Tsunami, infrastructural development occurred massively in the 2006 South Java Tsunami inundation areas. Several tsunami risk mitigation efforts were conducted but solely based on the 2006 tsunami scenario and ignored the existence of more considerable tsunami hazards from the Sunda Megathrust. This consideration may lead to an increasing risk of future tsunamis. We evaluate and appraise favorable and unfavorable geomorphological features to reduce the risk of future tsunamis. Pangandaran has a unique landform compared to other areas on the south coast of Java, and this landform has the potential to reduce future tsunami risk. Typical landforms studied include coastal plains, alluvial plains, Tombolo, tied islands, and structural hills. The results show that the morphological features of the Tombolo and the coastal plain area are categorized as high risk when a tsunami occurs. The tied island is categorized as a favorable morphology where these morphological units have the advantage of elevation and efficient distance to the tsunami risk zone. Evacuation facilities are also needed, especially in the coastal plain and Tombolo areas (with a height of >20 meters), to reduce disaster risk, particularly mortality caused by tsunami events.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic not only challenged the entire educational architecture but also revealed the total unpreparedness of both the teaching and student body to navigate the educational trajectories in an era of uncertainty and digital challenges. The terminology that showed the population's engagement in the digital reality was put to the test, and the so-called "digital millennials" turned out to be under-digitized in practice. It turned out that the necessary level of digital competencies was possessed by a fairly limited group of students and teachers. And if the insufficient readiness of university teachers for blended learning formats and forced online learning can be explained by a number of quite understandable factors, the unpreparedness of young people for an effective transition to digital formats of educational interaction has necessitated a rethinking of the entire educational landscape.

Purpose: To analyze the factors that have pre-determined the difficulties of forced online learning among students in higher education institutions.

Materials and Methods: Students from various metropolitan and regional universities participated in-depth interviews, implemented in three focus groups. The results of the interviews were conceptualized by the authors in order to identify the main barriers to deep digitalization through the prism of student perception. The study involved students from the 3rd, 4th courses of full-time, evening, and correspondence departments, and undergraduates from the Institute of Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Sanitary Examination and Agro-Security (N = 31), the Institute of Applied Biotechnology named after RAN Academician Iosif Alexandrovich Rogov (N = 33), the Institute of Biotechnology and Global Health (N = 32), the Institute of Industrial Engineering, Information Technologies and Mechatronics (N = 32) of the Russian Biotechnological University, Moscow, as well as the Russian Customs Academy, Lyubertsy (N = 12) and the Tambov State University named after G.R. Derzhavin (1), who were divided into 3 focus groups: 1st group - 3rd year students from metropolitan and regional universities; 2nd group – 4th-year students from metropolitan and regional universities; 3rd group – undergraduate students from metropolitan and regional universities.

Results: The obtained results allowed us to identify a range of issues among students studying in regions and major cities: (1) a sedentary lifestyle during online learning, (2) technical and psychological difficulties, (3) the inability to conduct laboratory research and experiments, (4) difficulties related to the organization of examination and credit events, (5) gaps in knowledge due to the lack of face-to-face interaction with teachers in the context of home education.

Conclusion: The results obtained allow for optimizing the development and adaptation of digital practice-oriented courses and their placement on online university platforms.
Development of an Academic Career: Scoping Review
Authors: Mezenceva Daria A.
Published: August 2023

Purpose. To identify and describe the main trajectories of academic career development in the educational and research space.

Materials and Methods. The subject field review was based on the PRISMA protocol. Sources were selected from the ScienceDirect and RINC databases. The timeframe of the study is from 2012 to 2022. The development of an academic career was considered in the focus of social-cognitive theory.

Results. Initially, 6121 articles were extracted by keywords, of which 127 articles fully met the inclusion criteria for the study (40 in Russian and 87 in English). The characteristics of academic career development were identified in three thematic blocks: (1) individual characteristics and personal resources, (2) contextual influences on the development of an academic career, and (3) active regulation of behavior in the context of an academic career. The main trends in the development of an academic career in Russian and foreign academic practice were identified.

Conclusion: In Russia, interest in the issue under study is quite limited, which does not coincide with the focuses of foreign research.
Computer Simulation as a Tool of Psychological Readiness for Employment Process for Migrant Students

Published: August 2023

Background: Nowadays the number of students studying abroad increases rapidly. Migrant students represent a highly motivated and achieving category and contribute a lot to the economies of the host countries. Coming to the host country they face different challenges, one of them being employment. Previous studies reveal that migrant students during the period of their acculturation undergo various difficulties, and even after graduation, there are such hurdles as pressure, immigration policies, and an uncertain future. If they want to pursue a career in the host country, new barriers such as documentation requirements, problems with language and discrimination could appear.

Purpose: The necessity to create a safe environment that can help them acquire the necessary skills needed at a job interview made the research authors consider the use of a VR tool.

Materials and Methods: 171 migrant students took part in the research. Based on a needs analysis to depict the barriers migrant students face while seeking a job in a host country the architecture of a computer simulator “Employment navigator” was designed.

Results: The identified needs of migrant students, as well as the main barriers to their adaptation, can influence the optimization of the system of adaptation of foreign students in the conditions of host universities. The ‘Employment Navigator’ virtual reality simulator can be used as a tool to assess the readiness of a migrant student to undergo a job interview successfully.

Implication: Virtual reality simulators make it possible to repeat actions as many times as necessary to achieve the desired result and proved their efficiency applied to all vulnerable categories of citizens.
Primary Professionalization of Foreign Students: Barriers, Stigmatization, Adaptation

Published: August 2023

Introduction. In the context of the export of educational services, it is of particular importance to design an efficient system of foreign students’ psychological adaptation. Owing to the ethnocultural background, foreign students feel that they are stigmatized minorities in the host society. Negative images and stereotypes are often internalized, resulting in stable low self-esteem in the stigmatized. Since self-esteem acts as a key parameter of the professional self-concept, social stigma and the experience of social identity threat activate the stigmatization of primary professionalization, thereby drastically reducing the efficiency of the received vocational education at the university. The purpose of the study is: to outline the phenomenon of primary professionalization, to reveal the nature of the relationship between the social stigma of foreign students and their self-esteem, and to describe the levels of primary professionalization.

Materials and Methods. The study involved 124 foreign students. Participants were asked to answer questions of the Short Form of the Stigmatization Scale and Rosenbergʼs Self-Esteem Scale in order to track the relationship between social stigma and self-esteem. Further, in order to identify the basic barriers to primary professionalization and the participants’ perception of their stigmatized status, the respondents answered the questions of a semi-structured interview supported with the critical incident technique in a focus group format.

Results. There is a correlation between the degree of obviousness of social stigma and self-esteem of foreign students. The categorization of the data obtained allowed the authors to substantiate the phenomenon of stigma of primary professionalization, to systematize the determining factors, and to describe its levels.

Discussion and Conclusion. Despite the fact that social stigma has attracted active attention of world science for decades, we have not been able to find focused studies into primary professionalization in the format of education export. Studying the factors that lead to the development of stigma of primary professionalization, understanding its levels will help to design a system for its prevention, optimize the system of adaptation of foreign students to the realities of the educational system of the host university.

Four-dimensional finite non-commutative associative algebras represent practical interest as algebraic support of post-quantum digital signature algorithms, especially algebras with two sided global unit, set by sparse basis vectors multiplication tables. A new algebra of the latter type, set over the field GF(p), is proposed and its structure is investigated. The studied algebra is described as a set of p2 + p + 1 commutative subalgebras of three different types. All subalgebras intersect strictly in the subset of scalar vectors. Formulas are derived for the number of subalgebras of each type.
