Published: February 2025

Several works have shown that inorganic fertilizers increase crop yield but are also associated with soil acidity and nutrient imbalance. Organic nutrient sources have been suggested as an alternative to attaining food security and quality, however, the effect of these organic sources on the antioxidant properties of cucumber is scanty. Hence the study sets out to evaluate the effect of organic sources of poultry manure and biochar on the performance and antioxidant properties of cucumber plants. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five treatments replicated three times. The treatments consist of various rates of poultry manure and biochar application as sole and in combinations. Six plants were tagged per treatment for growth parameters and laboratory analysis while the entire plot was used for yield estimation. Data collected included number of leaves. Vine length (cm), vine girth (mm), and number of branches. Yield Parameters included number of days to 50% flowering, number of fruits per plot, length of the fruits (cm), fruits diameter (mm), and weight of fruits per plot (kg). Free Radical Scavenging Power of the fruit was also assayed. Data collected were subjected to ANOVA and means were separated using Tukey HSD at probability of 5%. According to the results, 5t/ha poultry litter biochar x 2.5t/ha poultry manure performed best among the treatments for all parameters.
A study to assess the effect of progressive muscle relaxation technique on level of anxiety among first year bsc nursing students in selected nursing colleges at Barwani district
Authors: Cicily Joseph  , Varghese Yohannan
Published: February 2025

Anxiety is a set of responses that includes excessive worry, depression, nervousness and irrelevant thinking, to a class of stimuli from an individual’s experience of assessment and outcome.

12 million adult face mental health problem each year. Most of these cause anxiety and depression and much of it is stress related. It is estimated that among the world population, the prevalence rate of anxiety is 16.6%. The prevalence rate of anxiety in India is 18.5% per 1000 population.23 According to DSM-1V, approximately 3% of people will develop anxiety disorder during a given year and 5% of people will have anxiety at some point in their life. Studies shows that Generalised anxiety disorder may affect people at different rates based on ages.

Researchers reported about 20.1% of adolescent boys and 17.9% of adolescent girls experience severe anxiety. They also reported anxiety rate is in moderate level among 15-24years. Studies also shows that the ratio of Generalised anxiety disorders among female and male is 2:1 respectively.

Nursing students are valuable human resources, but there is a paucity of comprehensive research in the area of nursing student’s psychological distress and depressive symptoms. Detection of these symptoms is crucial since anxiety and depression can lead to low productivity, minimized quality of life and suicidal thoughts.

It is observed that nursing students undergo tremendous stress and anxiety during various stages of their course. Occupational mental health and affective well-being among student health professionals has been the focus of increased study in recent years.

Nursing students face high levels of anxiety especially in their first clinical experience. When student nurses suffer from anxiety it decreases their ability to learn and retain information as well as decreases confidence in their ability to function autonomously.

The aim of this study is to reduce the level of anxiety of the nursing students. The nurse educator should understand the nature of the anxiety among the nursing students and can play an important role in reducing the anxiety of the nursing students by practicing progressive muscle relaxation technique.

The researcher from his past experience as a student nurse identifies himself subjected to high anxiety levels in clinical encounters. He also found high level of anxiety among his co-workers when posted to a new clinical area.

Progressive muscle relaxation technique is one of the simplest forms of relaxation technique. The investigator realised that progressive relaxation technique will help the nursing students to maintain their emotional balance. Keeping this in mind the investigator, by helping the nursing students to practice daily for 30 minutes would help them to reduce the level of anxiety in order to keep their emotion balance and improve their academic performance.

Published: February 2025

Background: Neonatal convulsions are characterized by paroxysmal alterations in neurologic function and can occur from birth until the end of the neonatal period (1-28 days of age). Despite advancements in medical science and global health improvements, neonatal seizures remain common and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

Objective: This study aimed to identify the common causes of neonatal convulsions in patients admitted to Ahmed Gassim Hospital for Children between January 2022 and April 2022, and to evaluate the associations between the underlying causes, short-term outcomes, and duration of hospital admission.

Method and Design: This hospital-based study was carried out at Ahmed Gassim Hospital for Children in Khartoum State. Data were collected through a structured interview questionnaire and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).

Results: The study included 80 neonates, predominantly male (63.75%), with most being term infants (97.5%). Seizures occurred primarily within the first 5 days of life (47.5%), with recurrence in 98.75% of cases. Focal seizures (70%) were more common than generalized seizures (30%), with tonic-clonic seizures being the most frequent type (65%). Seizures were generally brief (<5 minutes in 95% of cases), and most patients (87.5%) were hospitalized for 1-3 weeks. Key diagnoses were hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) (38.75%) and meningitis (33.75%). Poor short-term outcomes were linked to meningitis (p=0.002), while IVH was associated with 100% mortality. Cesarean deliveries had lower rates of good outcomes (16.25%) compared to vaginal deliveries (35%). Overall, good outcomes were observed in 51.25% of cases, while 27.5% experienced complications and the mortality rate was 10%. Significant associations were found between HIE/meningitis and tonic-clonic seizures (p=0.0021) and between neonatal meningitis and poor outcomes (p=0.002).

Conclusions: This study highlights the critical role of underlying conditions like HIE and meningitis in severe neonatal seizures and their high recurrence rates. It emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, vigilant monitoring, and targeted interventions to improve outcomes. Further research is needed to explore seizure types, underlying conditions, and outcomes to enhance treatment strategies.

Published: February 2025

Throughout the 20th century, new research and new demands have led to an increased amount of technology used in medicine. These methods have led to early detection, better context of conditions, increased efficiency, and brighter prospects for the future of medical diagnosis. However, the increasing use of AI and genetics in medicine has called for checks and further clinical trials to determine how ethical these practices might be. The debate surrounding the integration of Artificial Intelligence has created further controversy—that is, what technologies should be used and what technologies should not be used. To determine a solution, certain factors should be considered including the comfort of patients during treatments including advanced technology, the risk factor of integrating AI into procedures, and the efficiency of technology compared to traditional medical practices. For example, imaging technologies such as X-ray and sonography are found to be more comfortable for patients due to their long-standing familiarity, yet their precision and accuracy fall short in comparison to advanced Imaging technologies such as CT, MRI, and PET scans. There has also been discussion of the use of genetic testing such as chromosomal microarrays. Advances in genetic testing have led to the ability to detect conditions in embryos which can be beneficial, but the manipulation of the embryos could raise ethical concerns. Past ethical grey areas, there have been amazing prospects for the future of medicine and these innovations, such as the use of non-invasive testing which is an emerging alternative to traditional surgical methods. Through extensive literary research, this paper considers the multiple aspects that should contribute to deciding to implement technological advancements brought in the 21st Century. By investigating previous integrations of innovations within medicine, this research could envision a risk-free and more ethical approach to advancing medicine with technology.

Authors: Lect. Asma Asaad Thamer
Published: February 2025

The anonymous comments have become an integral part of the online world as a double -edged sword to either protect identity for avoiding harassment or engage in harmful behaviors without taking responsibility of the consequences. Since social media platforms allow posting of anonymous comments, the present paper deploys forensic authorship identification analysis to evaluate anonymous comments based on authorship identification and authorship characterization. The research generates its data from fifteen anonymous comments in Threads social media platform and qualitatively analyzed using available techniques of the forensic linguistics that include stylistics, sociolinguistics and dialectology to unveil the possible user's profile identity of the Threads users with anonymous identity. The findings of the study show that language always provides a valuable contextual footprint to uncover not only speaker's/writer's intentional and implicational meaning but unveiling those behind the production of the discourse. It also reveals that, in authorship identification methodologies, various forms of lexical choice and semiotic linguistic choice are significant factors for not only identifying but differentiating between a large set of anonymous authors in social media narratives which would be an important future endeavor.

تشغل الحرب الروسية -الاوكرانية  اهمية كبيرة في الدراسات الجغرافية السياسية ، بسبب الموقع الجغرافي للدولتين، فضلاﹰ عن علاقاتهم الاقتصادية والسياسية المترابطة بينهم وبين الدول الاخرى ، ومن المتوقع ان نتائج الصراع بينهم سينعكس على موازين القوى الدولية وعلى خريطة العالم ، ففي 24 فبراير- 2022 القى الرئيس الروسي (Vladimir Putin) خطاب متلفز تضمن المبررات الروسية للقيام بما اسماه بالعملية العسكرية الخاصة (Special military operation) وهي تمثل استراتيجية دفاعية لفكرة انضمام اوكرانيا لحلف شمال الاطلسي (NATO) والذي تعده روسبا تهديد لأمنها وسلامة اراضيها ، ولقد تناول الباحث مشكلة الدراسة وهي ماهي العلاقة بين الاستراتيجية الروسية بعد عام 2021 وقيام الحرب الروسية –الاوكرانية  ، وكان الهدف من الدراسة تحليل جغرافي سياسي للاستراتيجية الروسية الجديدة مع بيان اهمية الموقع الجغرافي الأوكراني لروسبا ، وقد استخدم الباحث منهج تحليل القوة (Power Analysis approach ) ، كما تم الاستعانة بالمنهج التاريخي (Historical approach) لدراسة البعد الزمني للدولة واستراتيجياتها خلال المراحل التاريخية لاسيما ما يخص علاقاتها روسبا مع دول العالم ولاسيما دول جوارها الجغرافي، وتوصلت الدراسة الى نتائج اهمها ان تفكك الاتحاد السوفيتي وظهور اوكرانيا كدولة مستقلة بمثابة المشكلة الاكبر والاهم امام الاستراتيجيات الروسية لاسيما بعد عام 2021 فهي قد تؤدي دور العميل للاستراتيجية الاور- اطلسية في اوروبا بوعي او بدون وعي ، فبعد استلام الرئيس الروسي (Vladimir Putin) للسلطة عام 2001 كان الهدف الرئيس للاستراتيجية للخارجية ان يستعيد الروس دورهم ونفوذهم بمناطق الاتحاد السوفيتي سابقاﹰ ، وفي المقابل ترجمت اساليب الدولة الروسية باستخدام استراتيجية القوة بضم شبه جزيرة القرم بتاريخ 18 مارس- اذار2014 للمحافظة على حقوق الناطقين بالروسية فيها ، فضلاﹰ عن حماية النفوذ الروسي في شمال البحر الاسود ولضمان حركة الاساطيل العسكرية وسهولة تحركها في المياه الدافئة وضمان وجود جدار عازل بين روسبا والغرب ، وقد ناقش الرئيس الروسي  بتاريخ 9 كانون الاول –ديسمبر 2021 مع الصحافة ما يجري في دونباس واعتبرها ابادة جماعية ، كما ان اهمال مبادرات الضمانات الروسية التي قدمت كانت السبب الرئيس للتحركات العسكرية ضد اوكرانيا بتاريخ  24 فبراير-شباط  – 2022 على محاور متعددة رئيسة وهي المحور الشرقي للسيطرة على اقليم دونباس باتجاه الشمال مع خاركيف والشمال من الوسط باتجاه العاصمة كييف والجنوب من القرم والبحر باتجاه السيطرة على الساحل الجنوبي من بحر ازوف وحتى حدود مقاطعتي خيرسون واوديسا.
Green Synthesized Approach to Develop Tungsten Nanostructures for Biosensor Applications
Authors: Oday Jawad Kadhim
Published: February 2025

The current paper presents a novel green synthesis approach for developing tungsten oxide (WO3) nanostructures using green apple extract as a natural reducing and capping agent. The synthesis method effectively produced monoclinic WO3 nanostructures with well-controlled morphology and size distribution, exhibiting a mean diameter of 27.376 nm and crystallite sizes averaging 21.34 nm. XRD analysis confirmed the formation of pure-phase monoclinic WO3, while FESEM revealed uniform quasi-spherical morphology. The FTIR spectroscopy demonstrated successful functionalization with biomolecules from the apple extract, and EDX confirmed the chemical composition with 75.82 wt % for tungsten, 18.17 wt % for oxygen, and 6.01 wt % for carbon. The synthesized nanostructures showed excellent potential for biosensor applications, demonstrating rapid response time (4.2 s), quick recovery (8.5 s), and high stability (± 2.3 % signal drift) in glucose sensing application.
Evaluating the Implementation of Operational Readiness and Maintenance Policies in US Army Aviation
Authors: Semmel Austin , Heese Hans , McConnell Brandon
Published: February 2025

This study examines AH-64 Apache dispatch decisions to assess the implementation of Operational Readiness (OR) and maintenance policies in the US Army. Current policies are designed to promote a ready and flexible force that is prepared to respond to global force projection requirements. The Army dictates a 75% OR target for aviation equipment and urges units to utilize aircraft uniformly to distribute maintenance capacity and prevent backlog. Given these objectives, we would expect a reduced OR rating to compel fewer sorties and uniformly distributed flying hours over the phase maintenance horizon. However, using a Generalized Additive Model (GAM), findings indicate that diminished OR does not deter flight operations. Moreover, aircraft are more likely to be grounded when approaching scheduled phase maintenance. Further analysis exposes a significant interaction effect; units place greater weight on an aircraft’s hours until phase maintenance in the presence of low OR, highlighting a potential risk aversion in decision-making. Interestingly, control variables (the day of the week and reporting period proximity) highly correlate with flight decisions. The findings suggest that current aviation readiness metrics may have an unintended influence on units' resource allocation. Future research should investigate unit-specific decision-making frameworks to improve aviation maintenance and OR efficiency.

Published: February 2025

This study takes an interdisciplinary approach to investigate interior space perception—environments where people spend much of their daily lives—by examining behavior and brain activity. Integrating psychology, neuroscience, and architecture, it explores three key components of aesthetic experience—familiarity, excitement, and fascination—within virtual reality (VR) environments. Using 32 virtual interior spaces with curved boundary types and varying architectural variables (size, light, texture, and color), 15 participants assessed aesthetic qualities while their brain activity was recorded via electroencephalography (EEG). Results reveal that alpha and beta oscillations play distinct roles in processing aesthetic judgments and architectural variables, while theta oscillations show no such differentiation. This study contributes to neuro-architecture by elucidating how architectural design influences aesthetic experiences, offering insights for creating more functional and emotionally resonant spaces.
Agent-Based Behavioral Modeling of Human Associative Learning in a Complex Approach-Avoidance Conflict Task
Authors: Usée Franziska , Schmidt Sebastian , Pane-Farre Christiane , Ostwald Dirk
Published: February 2025

Despite its key role in the development, maintenance, and treatment of anxiety disorders, the detailed mechanisms of human avoidance learning remain elusive. To contribute to the understanding of avoidance learning, we here report on a novel approach-avoidance conflict task that requires participants to learn associations between complex visual stimuli and combined appetitive and aversive stimuli while actively engaging with the experimental environment. Using an agent-based behavioral modeling approach, we implemented and validated an extensive set of control, heuristic, Rescorla-Wagner learning-based, and hybrid agents. We show that a Rescorla-Wagner learning-based agent with a prior expectation bias parameter best explains the learning behavior of 50 participants. As such, our work complements current research on the computational underpinnings of approach-avoidance behavior by showing paradigm and task instruction dependencies in approach-avoidance-relevant associative learning and contributes to the overall aim of achieving a more fine-grained understanding of the etiology of anxiety disorders.

Published: February 2025

Background: Cognitive decline in older adults is a growing global concern. Exergames, which combine physical exercise with cognitive training in an interactive digital environment, have shown promise in mitigating this decline.Objective: To assess the effectiveness of exergames in improving cognitive function among community-dwelling older adults through a systematic review and meta-analysis.Methods: A systematic search was conducted across PubMed, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, ACM, and IEEE databases for studies published between January 2014 and June 2024. Studies were included if they: (1) involved participants with mean age ≥60 years, (2) implemented exergame interventions in community settings, (3) included pre- and post-cognitive assessments, and (4) provided sufficient data for effect size calculation. The analysis examined effects across different populations (healthy, mild cognitive impairment [MCI], and dementia), exergame types, and various cognitive domains.Results: Ten studies comprising 690 participants (EXG=350, Control=340) met inclusion criteria. The pooled effect size was 0.1327 (95% CI 0.066-0.199, P< .001), indicating significant positive effects of exergames on cognition. Subgroup analyses revealed that individuals with MCI showed the largest benefits (g=0.256, 95% CI 0.11-0.40, P=.003), followed by cognitively healthy older adults (g=0.132, 95% CI 0.03-0.23, P=.013). Aerobic exergames (g=0.12, 95% CI 0.01-0.22, P=.002) and combined aerobic and non-aerobic exergames (g=0.291, 95% CI 0.12-0.46, P=.002) demonstrated significant effects, but not in non-aerobic exergame. Among cognitive domains, memory (g=0.179, 95% CI 0.03-0.33, P=.021) and processing speed (g=0.337, 95% CI 0.31-0.37, P< .001) showed significant improvements.Conclusions: Exergames provide significant cognitive benefits for community-dwelling older adults, with particularly strong effects for individuals with MCI. Combined aerobic and non-aerobic exergames appear most effective. These findings support the use of exergames as a practical tool for cognitive enhancement in community and residential environments.
SynesthesiaColorPicker: an open-source color picker for online synesthesia research
Authors: Root Nicholas
Published: February 2025

Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon in which healthy individuals experience additional, automatic, and consistent perceptions unrelated to veridical sensory input. For most (but not all) synesthetes, this additional sensation is a color: for example, grapheme-color synesthetes experience colors for letters of the alphabet. Measuring these color associations is of central importance to synesthesia research, but there is no standard color picker “tool” that researchers can adapt to use in their own experiments: each researcher must code their own. This is a barrier to entry for synesthesia research, and additionally creates potential methodological confounds because different researchers make color pickers with different properties. Here, I present SynesthesiaColorPicker, an open-source, mobile-friendly color picker tool that can be integrated with two popular online experiment platforms (Qualtrics and LabJS/ Open Lab) without any prior programming knowledge. The templates, underlying JavaScript code, and detailed instructions are available for download on a GitHub repository. I then use experimental data to show how two methodological design choices in SynesthesiaColorPicker overcome measurable confounds in existing color picker methodology.
Do the people make the place? A 40-year review of research on ASA theory
Authors: Van Iddekinge Chad , Harrison Jake , Su Rong , Ployhart Robert
Published: February 2025

Attraction-selection-attrition (ASA) theory proposes that “the people make the place” (Schneider, 1987) and has served as a foundation for many areas of organizational research. In this review, we take stock of the ASA literature to identify what we know and what we need to know about ASA processes and their effects on organizations. Based on a review of over 6,000 articles that cited ASA, we identified 321 studies that used the theory as a basis for their hypotheses. However, only 77 (24%) of those studies actually tested an aspect of the theory. For example, although ASA is an organizational-level theory, most studies used the theory to test phenomena at other levels, such as individuals, teams, or occupations. Among studies that did test the theory, very few directly assessed its core hypotheses. For instance, only one published study directly tested the central hypothesis that ASA processes lead to homogeneity. Moreover, some parts of the theory were not supported. As an example, although the theory suggests that ASA processes will reduce organizational effectiveness, several studies found that homogeneity was associated with better performance. Although the amount of empirical support for ASA theory was uneven, we believe it still has the potential to help understand organizations and the people that make them. To that end, we provide an agenda for future research that prioritizes how to best test ASA’s core hypotheses. We also highlight connections between ASA and other theories and literatures that examine similar phenomena to inspire future research opportunities.
A practical guide to mapping behaviour change objectives for health promotion interventions
Authors: Peters Gjalt - Jorn Ygram , Said Liliane
Published: February 2025

Intervention Mapping (IM) is a theory- and evidence-based framework allowing to develop, implement, and evaluate an intervention in public health. The current paper presents a practical step-by-step guide of the second step of IM, which translates the needs assessment findings into specific objectives aiming at changing health behaviours and/or environmental conditions. This includes: (1) Stating the programme outcomes; (2) Listing the performance objectives; (3) Selecting the sub-determinants; and (4) Creating a matrix of change objectives. In addition, intervention developers may benefit from the listed open tools that may be used in each stage to address the identified needs and achieve meaningful health outcomes.
