Published: November 2024

A cross-sectional study sought to uncover the determinants affecting antenatal care (ANC) utilization among pregnant women in Noakhali District, Bangladesh. Data from 400 women were gathered utilizing a standardized questionnaire, and the analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 23.0), incorporating descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and multinomial logistic regression. The research revealed that merely 47.8% of individuals attended a minimum of four antenatal care visits, as advised by healthcare recommendations.
The frequency of ANC visits was substantially correlated with socioeconomic status, educational attainment, work status, and obstacles to receiving ANC services. Mothers with 1-3 antenatal care visits encountered 26.58 times more barriers to attending visits than those who completed four or more visits (OR: 26.58, 95% CI: 11.28-62.62). Moreover, income levels were 0.53 times greater among mothers with fewer antenatal care appointments in comparison to those with four visits (OR: 0.53, 95% CI: 0.32-0.86).
The report emphasizes the need to address the constraints preventing women from getting enough ANC. This necessitates enhancements in transportation, the quality of healthcare facilities, and the training and accessibility of healthcare staff. Enhancing awareness of the significance of ANC through focused campaigns is essential at the local, national, and worldwide levels. Addressing these challenges is crucial for enhancing ANC utilization and promising improved maternal and newborn health outcomes in the region.

Published: November 2024

This paper is focusing on the representation of Grief in the short story of Anatomy of the Aftermath by Karen Jones. Grief is an emotional experience triggered by the loss of something or someone that a person loves, often involving the process of detachment. Then, grief also helps individuals feel closer to the object of love, honor their memories, or fill the void left behind. Karen Jones' flash fiction explores the story of a woman who feels sadness, regret, and longing for her husband's voice after his death. Through qualitative method, this article explores symbols and motifs of the woman's desire to hear her husband's voice and the love that still exists between them despite their separation. Through Kubler Ross’ theory of grief, this paper suggests that if a person can navigate the process well, they can experience normal and healthy grief. In conclusion, it is noted that grief could have two faces of being constructive and destructive. Both aspects are thickly indicated in Jones’ flash fiction.

Published: November 2024

Academic resilience is an important factor in determining student success. Any disparities that may exist between male and female students in the English education program are important in order to ensure that all students have equal opportunities for academic success. An academic resilience adaptation questionnaire was employed in this quantitative study with third semester English education program students. Despite being a smaller percentage of the third semester English education program population, this study indicated that more male students have a high level of academic resilience. Another finding was that male and female students share a similar percentage of students who had low levels of academic resilience. The results of this study support the findings that show gender has an effect on academic resilience.

LQR-Based Control with Gravity Compensation for a Wind Turbine Pendulum System.
Authors: Hernández Pérez Javier , Gutiérrez Moreno Evelin , Ordaz Oliver Jesús Patricio , Ordaz Oliver Mario Oscar
Published: November 2024

In this project, we present the design, construction, and control of a pendulum-like system propelled by a propeller mounted on a brushless motor. Programming and data acquisition were performed using an Arduino UNO board connected to a computer through the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The measurement of the pendulum's angular position was conducted using a variable resistor. However, a drawback of this approach is its susceptibility to introducing noise into the signals. To address this issue, a Kalman filter was implemented in the analysis. The system was mathematically modeled as a second-order transfer function with underdamped poles and identified using the adaptive Gauss-Newton method. Experimental tests were conducted with step response trials, employing pulse width modulation (PWM) as the input and the resistor voltage as the output variable. The pendulum position was controlled using a Linear Quadratic Regulator with Gravity Compensation (LQR+G) and a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller. Finally, a comparative analysis of performance was carried out between both approaches.

Published: November 2024

This work proposes a methodological approach to manage technologically the barriers to learning and participation that prevent students from accessing knowledge effectively. The aim is to allow their inclusion both in the educational environment and society. This approach is based on various methodological resources —Constructivism, the Social Model of Disability, the Ecological Model, and Differentiated Pedagogy— provided by the regular education support services unit. This assistance helps students with special educational needs, such as those with a disability, outstanding abilities, and aptitudes, or difficulties in developing competencies in the training fields of the curriculum. Additionally, it helps students with other conditions, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, language problems, learning, and behavioral problems. Furthermore, user-centered design methodologies like Design Thinking, and agile development such as SCRUM, are integrated into this approach. Finally, the ADARA technological platform is created to test the feasibility of the proposed approach.

Authors: Reyes Alfaro José Manuel , Toxqui Quitl Carina , Espejel Rivera María Angélica , Padilla Vivanco Alfonso
Published: November 2024

Wavefront coding technique has been used to extend the depth of focus in an optical imaging system. An optical element called a phase mask allows coded images to be obtained since the point spread function remains almost invariant in an axial range. Subsequently, a computational technique is required to decode the acquired images. An optical-computational technique is proposed to use a phase mask for the coding stage and a convolutional neural network for the final restoration. Comparative results are made between cubic and trefoil profile phase masks and decoded using the traditional Wiener filter and a convolutional neural network. Image quality evaluation is done using the peak signal-to-noise ratio.

Published: November 2024

The analysis of human emotions is of great interest in data analysis, as it allows us to identify patterns and behaviors in people. Different techniques are used, such as linguistic rule-based approaches. Natural language processing (NLP) is a branch of AI that seeks to make machines understand language like humans do. It combines computational linguistics with machine learning and deep learning models. In emotional prosody, spoken words convey linguistic and paralinguistic information, where the emotional context influences the interpretation of the words. Alexithymia refers to difficulty identifying and expressing emotions. AI and NLP offer powerful tools for their study and application, which is why it was possible to develop an AI for the detection of emotions through natural language, resulting in a system that offers sentiment analysis for patients.
An Assessment of Encryption-based Approaches for Business Process Models Discovery
Authors: De la Fuente Anaya Héctor Alán , Marin Castro Heidy Marisol , Morales Sandoval Miguel , García Hernández José Juan
Published: November 2024

Process Mining as a Service (PMaaS) could enable organizations to delegate the analysis of their business processes to third parties in the cloud and then avoid costs related to storage and processing. However, this involves outsourcing event log data to the service provider, which can be honest but curious and learn from the data in clear. This potentially compromises the confidentiality and privacy of the event log data that can be sensitive, for example, in the healthcare domain. Thus, it is necessary to both safeguard the privacy of the event log data and guarantee their usefulness in the process mining tasks. This paper presents a study and experimental evaluation of two cryptographic-based methods suitable for PMaaS with security and privacy guaranties, tested under the process discovery task and evaluated through a set of experiments in terms of utility loss, performance and computational cost, using available event logs in the healthcare domain.

Published: November 2024

Ultra-dense networks (UDN) have become a key technology in future communications systems by deploying a large number of low-power small cell base stations (SBS). However, ultra-dense deployment of small cells in the coverage area of conventional macrocells presents new challenges, such as inter-tier interference (interference between small cells (SC) and macro cells (MC)) and both-tier interference (interference between small cells), which may affect the overall network performance. In this work, in order to mitigate interference, frequency reuse is used. The simulation was performed with MATLAB software based on Monte Carlo methodology for discrete events, with the objective of evaluating the impact of ultra-dense networks within fixed infrastructure wireless networks. The main performance indicators are the Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR) and throughput.

The survey was carried out by a research team from the Centre for Global Archaeological Research, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, the Sarawak Museum Department, and the Department of Minerals and Geoscience Malaysia, Kuching, Sarawak. The results of the survey revealed a number of rockshelters which have been used as burial sites by the Tring community. The Gunung Mulu National Park (N 4° 3’ and E 114° 49’) is located in the northern part of Sarawak, about 110 km from Miri town (Fig. 1). The park is accessible by air from Miri or by speed boat from Kuala Baram via Marudi. The park is widely known for its tropical rainforest, geology and geomorphological landscape of the Paleocene-Eocene Era (Mulu Formation), Late Eocene-Early Miocene Period (Melinau Limestone) and Miocene Period (Setap Shale Formation) (Haile, 1962; Laily, 1992; Dana, 2001). The park contains “the longest cave system in Southeast Asia”, and unique limestone pinnacles (Brook & Waltham, 1978; Eavis, 1985; Dana, 2001). In 2000, the Gunung Mulu National Park was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Traditional Earthen Crocodile Effigies of The Lun Bawang in Sarawak: Functions, Origin and Significance
Authors:   Sarawak Museum Department, Datan Ipoi
Published: November 2024

The presence of huge outlines of monsters, snakes and crocodiles was notably widespread in central and west Borneo (Harrisson,1958). However, not much academic attention was afforded to these features as compared to literary documentation on the more obvious features like the megalithic structures such as dolmens (batuh nangan), menhirs (batuh sinuped), stone mounds (perupun) and engravings (batuh narit) or the ridge clearings (kawang) and big ditches (nabang) as reported by St. John (1863), Banks (1937) and Harrisson (1958). The former outlines referred to were possibly the mud images of crocodile (ulung buayeh) and of serpents or dragons (ulung darung) made by the Lun Bawang (formerly Murut) of Sarawak and the Lundayeh of Sabah and Kalimantan Timur (Kaltim) in connection with their ancient head hunting rituals (nuwi ulung buayeh/darung). In 2004, the Sarawak Museum initiated preliminary surveys on the mud effigies of the Lun Bawang in the Lawas District where a few sites were located and inspected. From 2007, intensified surveys were carried out in collaboration with the Centre for Global Archaeological Research, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang to investigate the sites. This article presents the findings of these surveys and will focus primarily on the functions or reasons for the construction of the mud effigies made by the Lun Bawang, the origin of the tradition and their significance in the present context.

Authors:   Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, Lim Keh Nie Connie
Published: November 2024

Pek bu, plucked bamboo zither, made from a node of a large bamboo known by its local name, bulu’ betung by the Lun Bawang can be described as idiochordic, due to its physical outlook. The playing style is a combination of idiophone and chordophone families of musical instruments (Matusky, 1986). This idiochordic instrument is commonly found in Sarawak, Kalimantan and Sabah with different names known by its tribal group. Although they vary in size and tuning they are similar in construction. This article aims to examine the construction of the instrument, performance technique and its repertoire. The discussion will be confined to the Lun Bawang pek bu players found in Long Tuma, Lawas Damit and Long Semadoh in Lawas District.

This paper explores the evaluation of socio-cultural principles for the design of integrated cultural center, proposed design of the cultural center in Yola, Adamawa State. Culture always seen as a complex issue and socially, politically highly sensitive, it has nowadays become an overused word (clinched) in almost all contexts of reality. Culture has also been an area in which we most times find controversial in the political and social arena opened that the word culture is often used abruptly without knowing exactly the meaning. The research aim of this study is to design an integrated cultural center exploring the socio-cultural diversity of Adamawa state with the view to enhancing cultural prosperity. The study adopted a qualitative research approach, involving a case study of the Kaduna State Cultural Centre. The findings will provide valuable insights for architects in creating intuitive and accessible to cultural buildings in Nigeria. The study concludes that the evaluation of socio-cultural principles for the design of integrated cultural center can significantly enhance the usability and navigability of public buildings like the proposed integrated cultural center, Adamawa state.

Published: November 2024

The effects of copper oxide (CuO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) in bulk and nano forms on soil fungal community was determined. Lipa clay loam soil collected from the University of the Philippines Los Baños were placed in polypropylene bags and amended with 300 mg/L of CuO or ZnO in either forms. Colony-forming units (CFU) as well as average well color development (AWCD), functional richness and stress index were determined on day 1, 8 and 15 via indirect viable plate count method and community – level physiological profiling (CLPP). Fungal isolates from the same soil samples were likewise identified and tested in vitro in terms of radial growth when treated with varying concentrations of the metal oxides. Results indicated no significant difference in CFU, AWCD, functional richness and stress index among treatments. In vitro, responses of fungal isolates differed. CuO was more toxic than ZnO. In both cases, the nature of the compound, not size, was the primary determinant of toxicity. It is recommended that the use of nanotechnology in agriculture be promoted with caution to limit the harmful effects to the soil microbiota and to the environment in general.

Businesses in China are embarking on a transformative agenda, as reflected in their environmental performance, which signals a strategic shift towards fostering sustainability initiatives in the workplace. Accordingly, the research explores how green human resource management, organizational commitment, and green innovation climate drive low-carbon behavior and environmental performance. The research gathered 580 responses from senior staff among Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises. The partial least square structural model was employed to assess the study hypothesis. Key study findings are enumerated: First, green human resource management boosts green organizational commitment, green innovation climate, and low-carbon behavior. Second, the data showed that a green innovation climate and organizational commitment enhance low-carbon behavior. Third, according to the study, low-carbon promotes environmental performance. Fourth, the paper analysis showed that low-carbon mediated the connection between green human resources and low-carbon behavior. Fifth, this research outcome highlighted that environmental knowledge moderates the linkage between low-carbon behavior and environmental performance. This finding enriches the debate on green human resource management and how to promote low-carbon behavior and environmental performance.

La obra plantea a la discapacidad como un fenómeno médico que ha generado la necesidad de comprender los procesos históricos y las reflexiones teóricas influenciadas por la presión de diversos grupos sociales en torno a la reivindicación de los derechos de este colectivo. Su abordaje médico y conceptual ha ido evolucionando debido a los paradigmas sociales e ideológicos respecto a las personas, quienes han impulsado un cambio de mirar a la discapacidad desde un abordaje médico-social.

Desde el punto de vista social la discapacidad social es una manifestación compleja que emerge de la interacción entre las características biológicas del ser humano y las particularidades de la sociedad en la que se desenvuelve, involucra una amplia gama de factores que van desde los económicos hasta los culturales, pasando por los biológicos, sociales y educativos, elementos que juegan un papel crucial en la integración social de las personas con discapacidad.

Published: November 2024

Among small ethnic groups in a non-ethnic environment, traditional culture is being eroded even against the background of growing interest in it. Despite the recent studies of the Estonian diaspora in Russia, including the Urals, Estonian settlers in the Chelyabinsk region have not been sufficiently studied. The article examines the traditional culture of Estonian settlers in the Chelyabinsk region through a museum perspective and discusses issues of preserving and representing tangible and intangible ethnocultural heritage in museums. The focus is on four documentaries shot by different studios and amateur filmmakers from 1972 to 1993 in the Estonian village of Slava in the Krasnoarmeysky District of the Chelyabinsk Region, founded in 1928. Particular attention is paid to the depiction of funeral rites, home crafts and folklore, also there is a comparison with the modern situation of traditional culture. It is noted that the films not only reflect the era of their creation, but also show ideas about proper ethnographic cinema using local material. A conclusion is made about the importance of audiovisual sources for studying the history and ethnography of Estonian settlers, as well as for preserving and representing their ethnocultural heritage.

The article is devoted to a local original tradition, one of the most striking phenomena of traditional culture – tambour embroidery of the Bashkir ethnic group. Tambour embroidery of the Kurgan Bashkirs has not previously been the object of special research. This fact determines the relevance and novelty of this work. The purpose of the article is to fill this gap in the research of decorative and applied art of Bashkirs, to give a detailed ethnographic description of tambour embroidery of the Kurgan Bashkirs, to consider the problems of the origin and evolution of this tradition. The main sources of the research are the author's field materials, supplemented by archival and museum data. The article presents a comprehensive description of the tradition of tambour sewing of the easternmost group of Trans-Ural Bashkirs, its main characteristics (technology, materials used, colors, ornament), which allows to identify its specifics, the names of popular motifs and compositions. It has been established that the tambour of the Kurgan Bashkirs in the XX century retained an archaic version of tambour sewing, namely contour, which was common among other groups of Bashkirs. This type of embroidery was originally monochrome and was made on canvas in the past. Аt the end of the XIX – at the beginning of the XX century on the territory of the Kurgan region, the ornament of Bashkir tambour embroidery is evolving, becoming polychrome, and factory fabrics of intense colors began to be used as backgrounds.

The article provides a detailed description of traditional Bashkir children’s toys from the collection of S. I. Rudenko, stored in the Russian Ethnographic Museum (REM). There are four unique exhibits: an arrow in the form of a wooden peg with birch bark blades, used in a precision throwing game, a toy for toddlers made from a branch and bast, imitating a horse, a ball made of camel wool and a wooden toy bow. The last two items are on permanent display at the museum and available for viewing, while the arrow and horse are described and presented for the first time. The description of toys is accompanied by a brief description of games played with them.⁠ Of interest is a boy’s toy top from the collection of A. K. Serzhputovsky, a well-known ethnographer of the early XX century, characterized by him as Tatar. We have established that the village of Nizhny Alkash, from which the museum exhibit originates, is not Tatar but Tepter. The fact that the top is present in the museum’s collection is noteworthy. The study of ancient toys allows for a new perspective on play culture, restoring lost fragments, which makes such collections particularly valuable for ethnographic and museum research.

Paramedics function within the prehospital context of emergency care because the goal is to get the patient to certain levels of care before being taken to a health facility. Some of their roles include attending to victims in emergency circumstances to make them clinically stable, applying some clinical procedures, and engaging the rest of the health facilities. This paper has reviewed and critiqued the development and functionality of paramedic practices, the problems of operating as a paramedic, and the technological features of today's prehospital care. Proposing that significant enhancements in paramedics' training and inter-professional collaboration are needed, the study's findings portray the contemporary role of paramedics as a crucial segment of healthcare systems and ascribe major responsibilities for enhancing the quality of primary prehospital care.
