Family Social Environment as a Predictor of Orderly Behavior of Correctional Students
Authors: Santoso Iman
Published: April 2023

In the life cycle, from birth, humans are very dependent on the family environment because, at this time, the quality of life of a child is directly shaped and influenced by the care, support, stimulation, and education received from family members. Based on the data obtained, many cases of children occur in Indonesia and cause them to be held accountable before the law[ Novrianza I et al., 2022]. The cases he also experienced varied, ranging from mild to moderate to severe cases. Based on this, the family social environment is considered to be a factor causing criminal acts committed by children[ Keliat et al.,2019]. Therefore, the author tries to examine the description of the family social environment in students of child protection crimes with a research locus at the Maros Class II Special Child Development Institute. The research method used is a qualitative approach that focuses on what is in the field objectively without any manipulation. The results of this study show that a picture of the family environment (family social environment) in students of child protection crimes at the Maros class II special child development institution. There were 6 respondents with family type Achievement Orientation, 10 respondents with family type Moral Religious Orientation, 2 respondents with Intellectual Cultural Oriented Families family type, and 2 respondents with Conflict Oriented Families family type[ Matos-Melo et al., 2018]. These results show that the social environment of the child's family with criminal protection leads to Moral Religious Orientation which is contrary to personality theory, where Moral Religious Orientation certainly describes an individual with positive attitudes and behaviors, but nevertheless, some influences that make a child able to carry out these negative behaviors include internalization of a child that is not appropriate, especially in terms of moral absorption[Remmers T et al., 2014]. Norms and rules that apply in the family social environment, several factors that become challenges and obstacles in the formation of a family environment, namely adolescence which makes absorption of moral values, ethics and norms that must be considered, parental education that makes the basis of the mindset in the formation of children's character, family financial conditions in meeting children's needs, the large number of members in the family presents a challenge in dividing needs  Whether it's financial or affectionate[ Hu et al., 2022]. The importance of the role of parents in supervising the environment around children and being an example for and being an example for child and the role of correctional officers in LPKA must prioritize the relationship between parents and children in the implementation of coaching.

The mandatory copies of Russian publications in bibliographies and statistics: Control and registration
Authors: Sukhorukova E. M. , Karaichentseva S. A. , Sukhorukov K. M.
Published: April 2023

The problems of national bibliography and publishing statistics are inextricably linked to the legislative support of acquiring and processing mandatory copies (MC) of Russian publications by the coordinating national center. Over a century, the Russian Book Chamber has been such center (in USSR, later in the Russian Federation). It acted as an independent organization until 2014. From 2014 till September 2022, it was affiliated with ITAR-TASS news agency. Today, the Russian Book Chamber is part of the Russian State Library while keeping its traditional functions in bibliographic and statistical control of national publishing products. The authors examine the key problems of these activities caused by retarding federal legislation on mandatory copies against the real-life publishing situation and information needs of our society and government. The number of publishers, though not professional, but some sort of “amateur” ones, is trending upwards, while the circulation of Russian book publications is decreasing year on year. The authors propose to optimize legislation support of publishing through control of publications by academic book publications and periodicals, as well as by those “printed on demand”; through decrease and differentiation of the federal MC sets, re-distribution of these sets for the sake of out-of-the capital library depositories, and timely editing of terminology and obsolescent articles in the law on mandatory copies.
Development of academic libraries in Smolensk region in the early 20-th century (the case study of Smolensk first university
Authors: Ladozhina T. N.
Published: April 2023

The author describes in detail the first years of the main scientific library in Smolensk Guberniya in the early 20-th century, namely Smolensk State University Library. The author was motivated by the absence of the complete picture of academic librarianship in the region; the issue is also insufficiently covered in the literature. The author applies the methods of comparative analysis and synthesis. The research is based on published and unpublished materials: documents in the State Archive of Smolensk Region; Rare Collection of Smolensk University Library; and scholarly papers. The author writes about the librarians who worked for the Library in 1918–1922, and its first director, privat-dozent I. E. Egorov. She also analyzes the history of the book collection development during the campaign of 1918–1921 in Smolensk Guberniya when the landed property and many manorial libraries were nationalized. She describes nationalized private collections in the Rare Collection of Smolensk University Library, and individual books from academic, public, scientific, estate, commercial, departmental, military and confessional libraries of prerevolutionary Smolensk. The role of Smolensk University Library as the richest book depository of the region and the value of its rare collections are emphasized. The vectors of the academic library activities of the above are explored. The research findings will contribute to the discipline “Library history” studied in the library higher schools and will be useful for modern academic libraries.

Published: April 2023

Pelvic floor disorders, their management and protective educational programs have become popular in recent years. The aim of this study is to determine the level of knowledge about pelvic floor health according to gender and education levels. This cross sectional study is conducted on women and men between January and September of 2021 in Turkey. The knowledge level of pelvic floor was assessed with Pelvic Floor Health Knowledge Quiz (PFHKQ). Oneway ANOVA test was used for comparing pelvic floor knowledge according to the education levels and the age groups. Chi square test and Pearson chi square test were used for calculating binary variables, effect size, and confidence interval values between participants’ pelvic floor knowledge level and gender. A total of 1215 (1115 women, 100 men) participants completed the study. Men had less knowledge about the topics related to the pelvic floor (p <0.05) and the awareness of those that have graduated from higher education on these issues was found to be higher compared to the other education levels (p<0.05). In conclusion, we determined that the Turkish population has insufficient knowledge about the relationship between the pelvic floor and other body systems, the causes and types of pelvic problems. In the future, educational programs emphasizing deficient points regarding the pelvic floor within the scope of preventive treatment may be planned to cover the general population

Tackling Hate Speech Online: The Effect of Counter-speech on Subsequent Bystander Behavioral Intentions
Authors: Jia Yue , Schumann Sandy
Published: April 2023

Counter-speech is considered a promising tool to address hate speech online, notably by promoting bystander reactions that could attenuate the prevalence or further dissemination of hate. However, it remains unclear which types of counter-speech are most effective in attaining these goals and which might backfire. Advancing the literature, we examined the effect of four types of counter-speech (i.e., educating the perpetrator, calling on others to intervene, diverting the conversation, and abusing the perpetrator) on a range of bystander behavioral intentions in an experimental study (N = 250, UK-based adults). Overall, counter-speech did not affect bystanders’ subsequent responses to hate speech. Having said this, as expected, diversionary counter-speech increased intentions to ignore hate speech, which suggests unintended consequences. The study illustrates that counter-speech may not be sufficiently impactful in regulating bystanders’ reactions to hate speech online.

Le ricerche sui colloidi di Emanuele Paternò
Authors: Montaudo Giorgio
Published: April 2023

Emanuele Paternò (Palermo, 1847-1935) si laureò a Palermo nel 1871, nello stesso anno divenne professore a Torino, l'anno successivo venne chiamato a Palermo, e successe poi a Cannizzaro nella Cattedra di Chimica Generale di Roma. Celebri sono le sue ricerche pionieristiche (1869) sul carbonio tetraedrico. Paternò passò poi ad occuparsi di crioscopia (1885), applicando tale metodo alla determinazione delle masse molecolari. Gli studi successivi (1889-1910) sullo stato colloidale furono di grande avanguardia in campo europeo, rivelando alcune proprietà di base dei colloidi. Egli poté dimostrare che si tratta di soluzioni in cui le molecole formano degli aggregati molecolari (micelle). La conclusione pioneristica che Paternò trasse da queste osservazioni fu che "la proprietà colloidale di una sostanza non è una proprietà intrinseca inerente alla molecola dei corpi, ma è una proprietà relativa che si manifesta in presenza di un solvente e di un altro no".

A Simple Method for Learning to Distinguish Mirror-Image Letters
Authors: Bernhard James
Published: April 2023

Prereaders and beginning readers have long been observed to confuse letters with their mirror images, as do even some advanced readers. In this paper we propose a simple tool for learning to distinguish letters from their mirror images: four-color letters. Specifically, we propose instruction with letters whose four quadrants are colored with four different colors in a consistent manner across all letters. These colors provide orientations for the letters. Once the orientations of all the letters have been assimilated, the learner can proceed to ordinary uncolored text.

Published: April 2023

The recent surge of machine learning (ML) has impacted many disciplines, including educational and psychological measurement (hereafter shortened as measurement). The measurement literature has seen rapid growth in applications of ML to solve measurement problems. However, as we emphasize in this paper, it is imperative to critically examine the potential risks associated with involving ML in measurement. The MxML project aims to explore the relationship between measurement and ML, so as to identify and address the risks and better harness the power of ML to serve measurement missions. This paper describes the first study of the MxML project, in which we summarize the state of the field of applications, extensions, and discussions about ML in measurement contexts with a systematic review of the recent 10 years’ literature. We provide a snapshot of the literature in (1) areas of measurement where ML are discussed, (2) types of articles (e.g., applications, conceptual, etc.), (3) ML methods discussed, and (4) potential risks associated with involving ML in measurement.

Optimal target blood pressure in older patients with hypertension
Authors: Kim Kwang-il
Published: April 2023

Hypertension is a common condition among older adults, and blood pressure (BP) control is effective for preventing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality even among the oldest-old adults. However, the optimal target BP for older patients with hypertension has been a subject of debate, with previous clinical trials providing conflicting evidence. Determining the optimal target BP for older adults is a complex issue that requires considering comorbidities, frailty, quality of life, and goals of care. As such, BP targets should be individualized based on each patient's unique health status and risk factors, and treatment should be closely monitored to ensure that it is effective and well-tolerated. The benefits and risks of intensive BP control should be carefully weighed in the context of the patient's overall health status and treatment goals. Ultimately, the decision to pursue intensive BP control should be made through shared decision-making between patients and their healthcare providers.

Published: April 2023

Bridges are crucial for transporting people and goods, but their failures can be catastrophic, resulting in loss of life and property. This study assessed the flood stage of selected bridges (Alaafin Avenue, Seven-Up, and Oluyole) along the Ona River, Ibadan, Nigeria, using a one-dimensional model called the Hydraulic Engineering Center-River Analysis System (HEC-RAS). The model requires two major input data: geometric and steady flow data. The geometric features of the study area (stream centerline, riverbanks, flow paths, cross-sections, and bridges) were generated from the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) in HEC-GeoRAS, an extension of ArcMap GIS. The MapWindow Soil and Water Assessment Tool (MWSWAT) was used to predict flow. The input data for the model include DEM, Land use, soil map data, and meteorological data obtained from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET). The flood stages of the three bridges were predicted in the HEC-RAS model and the results showed that Alaafin Avenue, Seven-Up and Oluyole bridges had predicted flood stages of 1.5 m, 1.6 m, and 2.5 m and a freeboard minimum clearance of 2 m, 0.3 m, and 0.5 m respectively. However, the predicted flow (75.25 m³/s) was compared with the corresponding value of the flow in ERA (2002) for a free board minimum clearance. It was shown that only Alaafin Avenue Bridge is safe while Seven-Up and Oluyole bridges are prone to inundation by approximated values of 0.3 m and 0.5 m respectively. Therefore, regular inspection and maintenance of bridges are recommended to prevent inundation.

The major needs in machining are high material removal rate, good work surface finish and low tool wear. However, machining process often encounter tools wear problem which leads to increased product cost and poor quality. The aim of the study is to determine the effects of surface roughness and temperature of the cutting fluids on high-speed steel tool. High-speed steel (HSS) cutting tool was used on Colchester triumph space bed Centre lathe to work on a mild steel using cutting fluid such as soluble oil, liquid soap, and engine oil. The feed rate, spindle speed and depth of cut of the mild steel work piece were kept constant. The surface coarseness and temperature of the machine was examined with the three types of cutting fluid used. This result indicated that among the three cutting fluids used in the study, the liquid soap has the best temperature reduction on the chips (38.02℃), tool tip (40.73 oC), and the workpiece (40.03 oC); while soluble oil cutting fluid had a good surface finished of 0.8 mm, thus makes it more desirable cutting fluid in machining operation.

Authors: Ega I. J. , Job O. F.
Published: April 2023

The increase in demand and consequent high cost of steel props and scaffolds as a result of the desire to construct buildings with multiple floors in Nigeria has made many contractors use different materials. Thus, this study surveys and compares Steel, Timber and Bamboo scaffolds and props in Nigeria; it specifically investigated material preferences and their cost implications. It also determined installation techniques and the safety of props and scaffolds. Opinion surveys including questionnaire, visual inspections, interviews, and cost analyses were adopted as the research methodology. 50 ongoing building projects in Delta, Anambra, and Edo States were studied. The sample population was 30 site supervisors and 50 prop and scaffold installers. Purposive sampling was used to collect data. The findings reveal that contractors now prefer bamboo to other materials; the joinery systems depend on the material; nailing and tying for bamboo to bamboo while nailing and mechanical accessories were used for timber and steel respectively. Others are, all the materials are safe if properly fabricated and installed and the cost of scaffoldings and props decreases exponentially from steel to timber and then bamboo. Therefore, it was recommended among other materials that bamboo should be used in the production of prop and scaffold to save cost. Again, bamboo construction techniques should be included in the building construction curriculum, especially in scaffold and prop production.
Review of the Impact of geo-environmental toxicity on soil bearing pressure
Authors: Kayode-Ojo N , Idiata D. J. , Okonofua E. S
Published: April 2023

Soil is a widely distributed naturally occurring material derived primarily from rocks and rocky minerals. Because soil is a natural product, it has some changeable and complicated characteristics by definition. When it comes to foundation design, the most important soil feature to consider while choosing a soil type is bearing pressure. The bearing capacity is one of the key soil properties required in foundation designs. How well a structure’s foundation performs depends on the nature and properties of the soil beneath it in relation to its capacity to withstand pressure. However, it is important to note that the bearing pressure of soils is affected by contaminants or pollutants in the geo-environment which produce a negative effect on the soil engineering characteristics.

At present, the conventional sources for mineral filler in asphaltic concrete mixes are the chemical element of lime, cement, quarry dust and fly ash which has some health hazards. This study presents a laboratory investigation on the effects of locust bean ash as filler in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) production for a wearing course in order to find a cost-effective, environmentally friendly and less hazardous alternative to the traditional mineral filler of cement or lime. A total of 90 trials of bituminous mixtures with two types of mineral filler (locust bean ash and ordinary Portland cement) at 4 loading rates of 0, 2.5, 5 and 10% were evaluated for mechanical (strength) and workability performance properties according to standard asphalt mix Marshall Method of design. The Marshall stability, flow, density and void properties were developed for each mineral filler contents and the corresponding optimum binder content were determined for the general specification for roads and bridges in a subtropical region. The 2.5% for the two types of mineral filler was found to produce best performance of the HMA at optimum binder content of 5.5%. Also, the use of locust bean ash was found to be hazardous-free. Similarly, mineral filler from biomass was found to be advantageous for use as mineral filler source in asphalt mix production. Its application in the subtropical region where the biomass wastes are mostly abundant was recommended for HMA.
