Circulation-regulated impacts of aerosol pollution on urban heat island in Beijing
Authors: Wang Fan , Carmichael Gregory , Wang Jing , Chen Bin , Huang Bo , Li Yuguo , Yang Yuanjian , Gao Meng
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Unprecedented urbanization in China has led to serious urban heat island (UHI) issues, exerting intense heat stress on urban residents. Based on observed temperature and PM2.5 concentrations in Beijing over 2016–2020, we find diverse influences of aerosol pollution on urban heat island intensity (UHII) under different circulations. When northerly winds are prevalent in urban Beijing, UHII tends to be much higher at both daytime and night-time and it is less affected by aerosol concentration. However, when southerly and westerly winds are dominant in rural Beijing, UHII is significantly reduced by aerosol pollution. Using coupled aerosol-radiation-weather simulations, we demonstrate the underlying physical mechanism, which is associated with local circulation and resulting spatial distribution of aerosols. Our results also highlight the role of black carbon in aggravating UHI, especially during night-time. It could thus be targeted for cooperative management of heat islands and aerosol pollution.
HRLT: A high-resolution (1 day, 1 km) and long-term (1961–2019) gridded dataset for temperature and precipitation across China

Published: April 2022

Abstract. Accurate long-term temperature and precipitation estimates at high spatial and temporal resolutions are vital for a wide variety of climatological studies. We have produced a new, publicly available, daily, gridded maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and precipitation dataset for China with a high spatial resolution of 1 km and over a long-term period (1961 to 2019). It has been named the HRLT and the dataset is publicly available at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.941329 (Qin and Zhang, 2022). In this study, the daily gridded data were interpolated using comprehensive statistical analyses, which included machine learning, the generalized additive model, and thin plate splines. It is based on the 0.5° × 0.5° grid dataset from the China Meteorological Administration, together with covariates for elevation, aspect, slope, topographic wetness index, latitude, and longitude. The accuracy of the HRLT daily dataset was assessed using observation data from meteorological stations across China. The maximum and minimum temperature estimates were more accurate than the precipitation estimates. For maximum temperature, the mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), Pearson’s correlation coefficient (Cor), coefficient of determination after adjustment (R2), and Nash-Sutcliffe modeling efficiency (NSE) were 1.07 °C, 1.62 °C, 0.99, 0.98, and 0.98, respectively. For minimum temperature, the MAE, RMSE, Cor, R2, and NSE were 1.08 °C, 1.53 °C, 0.99, 0.99, and 0.99, respectively. For precipitation, the MAE, RMSE, Cor, R2, and NSE were 1.30 mm, 4.78 mm, 0.84, 0.71, and 0.70, respectively. The accuracy of the HRLT was compared to those of the other three existing datasets and its accuracy was either greater than the others, especially for precipitation, or comparable in accuracy, but with higher spatial resolution or over a longer time period. In summary, the HRLT dataset, which has a high spatial resolution, covers a longer period of time and has reliable accuracy, is suitable for future environmental analyses, especially the effects of extreme weather.
Analysis of divergent bifurcations in the dynamics of wheeled vehicles
Authors: Verbitskii Vladimir , Lobas Vlad , Misko Yevgen , Bondarenko Andrey
Published: April 2022

Abstract. This paper presents the bifurcation approach to analyze divergent
loss of stability of the symmetric solution of a nonlinear dynamic model in
Lyapunov's critical case of a single zero root. Under such a condition,
material birth-annihilation bifurcations of multiple stationary states take
place. Moreover, the equilibrium surface of stationary states in a small
neighborhood of the symmetric solution is a generalized Whitney fold. In the
simplest case of a fold peculiarity, the corresponding bifurcation manifold
locally coincides with the discriminant manifold of a third-degree
polynomial that determines the manifold of stationary states in a small
neighborhood of the symmetric solution. An algorithm to construct the corresponding polynomial is introduced.
Through the algorithm, the bifurcation manifold is determined, and the
conditions for safe/unsafe loss of stability of the symmetric solution are
derived analytically. The proposed approach to analyze divergent loss of stability is implemented
for a nonlinear bicycle model of a two-axle wheeled vehicle. It represents
a further development of Pevzner–Pacejka's well-known graph-analytical
method. The paper determines the critical values of constructive parameters
that are responsible for safe/unsafe loss of stability of the vehicle's
straight-line motion, and it discusses strategies for the bifurcation
approach to analyze divergent loss of stability.
Regional study of mode-2 internal solitary waves at the Pacific coast of Central America using marine seismic survey data
Authors: Fan Wenhao , Song Haibin , Gong Yi , Yang Shun , Zhang Kun
Published: April 2022

Abstract. In this paper, a regional study of mode-2 internal
solitary waves (ISWs) at the Pacific coast of Central America is carried out using the seismic reflection method. The observed relationship between
the dimensionless propagation speed and the dimensionless amplitude (DA) of
the mode-2 ISW is analyzed. When DA < 1.18, the dimensionless
propagation speed seems to increase with increasing DA, divided into two parts with different growth rates. When
DA > 1.18, the dimensionless propagation speed increases with
increasing DA at a relatively small growth rate. We
suggest that the influences of seawater depth (submarine topography),
pycnocline depth, and pycnocline thickness on the propagation speed of the
mode-2 ISW in the study area cause the relationship between
dimensionless propagation speed and DA to
diversify. The observed relationship between the dimensionless wavelength
and the DA of the mode-2 ISW is also analyzed. When
DA < 1, the nondimensional wavelengths seem to change from 2.5 to 7
for a fixed nondimensional amplitude. When DA > 1.87, the
dimensionless wavelength increases with increasing DA. Additionally, the seawater depth has a great influence on the
wavelength of the mode-2 ISW in the study area. Overall, the wavelength
increases with increasing seawater depth. As for the vertical structure
of the amplitude of the mode-2 ISW in the study area, we find that it is
affected by the nonlinearity of the ISW and the pycnocline deviation
(especially the downward pycnocline deviation).
AN EMPIRICAL CONSIDERATION OF A BALANCED AMALGAMATION OF LEARNING STRATEGIES IN GRADUATE INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS CLASSES
Authors: VAUGHN BRANDON K.
Published: April 2022

This study considers the effectiveness of a “balanced amalgamated” approach to teaching graduate level introductory statistics. Although some research stresses replacing traditional lectures with more active learning methods, the approach of this study is to combine effective lecturing with active learning and team projects. The results of this study indicate that such a balanced amalgamated approach to learning not only improves student cognition of course material, but student morale as well. An instructional approach that combines mini-lectures with in-class active-learnin activities appears to be a better approach than traditional lecturing alone for teaching graduate-level students.

Hands-on data activities in the classroom - enthusing teachers and students
Authors:   Conker Statistics, Norton, Oxfordshire, Payne Bradley , Dawson Terry ,   Mathematics in Education and Industry
Published: April 2022

Hands-on data activities in the classroom are often avoided by teachers of KS3 and KS4 mathematics in the UK. In many cases where data handling skills are taught in the classroom, the activities used involve data which is safe, predictable and the outcomes are limited to ensure the task of marking and assessment is made easier. Such an approach reduces the opportunities to engage students to think for themselves, including key decisions about the choice of data, data collection methods, and the process of analysis and interpretation. In developing hands-on data activities for Crea8te Maths (A Government funded project for Yorkshire and Humberside to improve numeracy), we acknowledged activities that had a student led element generally have more interesting outcomes, promote ownership, engagement, motivation within the class, and encourage lateral thinking. Anecdotal evidence of the benefits of our developed activities including 'Stretchiness' and 'Classroom Olympics' are presented. Based on our experiences in activity development and teaching in the classroom we explore the opportunities for hands-on activities in the new Y12 curriculum involving solving real problems using data and mathematics.

Authors:   South China Normal University, Chan Jasmine
Published: April 2022

In 2012, Macau government approved and passed the “System Framework for Private School Teaching Staff of Non-tertiary Education” in the legislative council. It is aimed at improving non-tertiary teachers’ professionalism in terms of setting hierarchies and provides training continuously. Teachers having a high level of research capacity can improve and solve education issues in Macau. Education Statistics are one of the important methods in research capacity. To develop this idea, therefore, my topic is “Analysis of variance and Its Applications in Macao Educational Researches”.In this paper a series of statistical methods will be studied, namely, ANOVA, ANCOVA and MANCOVA. They can be used to analyze multivariate data. Knowledge of these techniques will enable researchers to investigate and answer a vast array of research questions. This paper will apply also a real example in educational field in order to explain the manipulation of ANOVA, ANCOVA and MANOVA for data analysis.
Interactive wiki
Authors:   University of Helsinki, Puranen Juha
Published: April 2022

Statistical Wikipedia is an excellent source for anyone who is searching information on statistical terms or methods. However it is more like a book than educational material. For a student who wants to learn statistics it can be hard to understand how a statistical method works, when to use it and how to interpret the results. If Wikipedia is made for the student it can be hard to read for an statistician who already knows a lot. Is it possible to increase readability of the pages and add guidance to the pages making them more informative for students?

Published: April 2022

In May, 2007 the Irish Central Statistics Office embarked on an Education Outreach Programme. The programme is driven by the desire to increase the awareness and effective use of statistics in Ireland. Educating CSO data customers is seen as a key driver in this goal. Since 2007, the CSO has fostered key partnerships at a national and international level to develop and implement a number of key projects. Seminar Series, Statistical Liaison groups, Oireachtas briefings, CensusAtSchool, the John Hooper Medal For Statistics, the Professional Diploma in Official Statistics for Policy Evaluation, the International Statistical Literacy Poster Competition and YouTube video production, are some of the projects developed under the umbrella of the Education Outreach Programme. This paper outlines the rationale behind the development and implementation of the Irish Education Outreach Programme with illustrations drawn from the Irish experience to date.

Published: April 2022

The objective of the present study was to explore the prevalence and severity of mental health problems (i.e., Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Anger and Hostility) among female nurses working in public sector hospitals situated in Faisalabad.  In this regard, the sample of 306 participants (female nurses) was selected from public sector hospitals situated in Faisalabad. Personal Information Sheet, Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), and the subscales of Anger and Hostility (AQ) were used for the data collection. Data analysis was done through Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, v22). Of the 306 participants, about 73.8% nurses reported significant depression, 80.7% nurses experienced significant anxiety, 84.9% nurses reported significant stress, 83.3% participants reported significant anger, while 81.3% reported significant hostility. Approximately, 64.15% nurses experienced moderate depression, 33.19% reported severe level of anxiety and 61.92s % nurses reported moderate level of stress. Female nurses of public sector hospitals suffered from significant mental health problems (i.e., depression, anxiety, stress, anger and hostility) which are deleterious not only for the professional growth of nurses but for the patient’s welfare as well. Addressing mental health status of nurses will enable them to cope up with personal and work related issues.
Need of Psychometrics for Recruitment and Selection in Organizations: A Qualitative Perspective from a Developing Country
Authors: Gul Sherin , Ghazal Dr Saima
Published: April 2022

The ultimate goal of any organization is to improve their efficacy and performance which is achievable through people. Within organizations, Human Resource Management (HRM) is a key factor for recruitment and selection of employees; hence organizations are in competition for acquiring qualified and highly skilled personnel. By applying a qualitative approach, this study explored the current practices of personnel recruitment and selection with reference to psychometric testing in Pakistan in a sample of (N = 6) senior Human Resource managers by using semi-structured interview protocol. Two central themes emerged after the content analysis of the transcribed data such as recruitment and selection practices and the challenges behind effective decision making. Findings indicated that 34% organizations stated the use of both, psychological test and interview methods for selection purposes whereas 67% organizations have been using personality tests as part of their selection processes. Almost 50% organizations have reported some lacks in their personnel selection decision such as difficulty in the assessment of employee’s attitude and poor decisiveness skills among team members. The current research has expanded the limits of existing literature in this realm, in addition, themes could be applied for indigenous tool development.
Poor Family-Functioning and Lack of Interpersonal Support as Predictors of Online Gaming Addiction in Adolescents
Authors: Tariq Isra , Majeed Dr Saima
Published: April 2022

The present study aimed to investigate predictors of online gaming addiction in adolescents. To explore the gender differences across the study variables was another objective of the present study. It was hypothesized that poor family functioning and lack of interpersonal support would lead to online gaming addiction in adolescents. Further, the study investigated poor family functioning and perceived lack of interpersonal support as predictors of online gaming addiction in adolescents. For this purpose, a correlational study with a cross-sectional research design was used. The sample was collected from 115 participants (age= M= 17.10, SD= 1.66), boys (f=69, 60%), girls (f=46, 40%), using nonprobability, purposive and convenient sampling technique. The measures used in the study were Game Addiction Scale (Lemmens et al., 2009), Family APGAR Questionnaire (Smilkstein, 1978) and the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (Cohen et al., 1985). Results of the study showed that family functioning (r= -.25**, p< 0.01) and interpersonal support (r= -.09*, p< 0.05) were negatively related to online gaming. Moreover, poor family functioning and lack of perceived social support predicted online gaming addiction in adolescents. Conversely, no gender differences across study variables were revealed for present sample.
Infantile or hypoplastic uterus? A proposal for a modification to the ESHRE/ESGE classification of female genital tract congenital abnormalities
Authors: Küçük T , Ata B
Published: April 2022

We argue that the graphical depiction of “infantile uterus” in the ESHRE/ESGE classification of Mullerian anomalies does not fall under class U1b, i.e. uterine corpus anomalies with a normal external contour. The verbal description of “infantile uterus” by the ESHRE/ESGE classification seems to better suit a hypoplastic uterus and as such, arguably, can be omitted from this classification. We also suggest the inclusion of a “Y shaped” uterus under Class U1.
Total surgical time in laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy with laparoscopic in-bag-morcellation compared to laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy with uncontained morcellation
Authors: Krentel H , Tchartchian G , Torres de la Roche L.A. , De Wilde R.L.
Published: April 2022

Background: A possible solution to the problem of cell dissemination through laparoscopic uncontained morcellation during laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LASH) is the use of laparoscopic in-bag morcellation. One criticism regarding the use of in-bag morcellation is the additional surgical time associated with this procedure.

Objectives: In this retrospective study we compared the total surgical time in LASH with laparoscopic in-bag morcellation (107 cases from 2016-2018) and LASH with uncontained morcellation (47 cases from 2015-2017).

Materials and Methods: All surgeries were performed in the same department of minimally invasive gynaecological surgery by a total of three experienced surgeons for the indication of bleeding disorder and / or dysmenorrhea.

Main outcome measures: We measured and compared total surgical time, surgical outcome, blood loss and complications in LASH with in-bag morcellation and with uncontained morcellation.

Results: Total surgical time in both procedures do not show a significant difference. Considering the learning curve in laparoscopic bag use, the total surgical time in LASH with laparoscopic in-bag morcellation is shorter than total surgical time in LASH with uncontained morcellation. Laparoscopic in-bag morcellation consumes time for bag use and handling, but saves time as it eliminates the need for meticulous sampling of lost tissue fragments and the complex lavage of the peritoneal cavity after morcellation. There is no difference between both groups in terms of blood loss, complications and surgical results.

Conclusion / What is new? We conclude that LASH with in-bag morcellation is not related to additional surgical time when compared to LASH with uncontained morcellation.

A Síndrome de Asherman (SA) é a obliteração parcial ou completa da cavidade uterina e/ou do canal cervical com sinéquias uterinas, resultando em amenorreia, infertilidade e perda recorrente da gravidez, que varia com a gravidade das lesões. O tratamento convencional é a adesiólise histeroscópia, cujo objetivo é remover as aderências intrauterinas e reconstruir a cavidade uterina. Um dos tratamentos alternativos, promissor e com alta taxa de sucesso, é baseado na inoculação sistêmica ou intrauterina de células-tronco, as quais consistem em regenerar o tecido endometrial e reverter o dano. Dessa forma, o objetivo da seguinte revisão é analisar a eficácia da terapia baseada em células-tronco na Síndrome de Asherman. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica sistemática que utilizou as plataformas PubMed, SciELO, Cochrane Library e LILACS como bases de dados para pesquisa de artigos científicos, com recorte temporal entre 2016 e 2022, na língua inglesa. De acordo com o mecanismo de busca, 6 resultados foram encontrados após os critérios de exclusão nas bases de dados PubMed, Cochrane Library e LILACS. Constatou-se, portanto, que a terapia baseada em células-tronco é eficaz no tratamento da SA, visto que as células-tronco endometriais derivadas de células-tronco adultas autólogas possuem alto potencial angiogênico e podem regenerar um endométrio danificado, espessando o endométrio, retornando à menstruação e aumentando a taxa de gravidez e gestação protegida. No entanto, mais estudos devem ser realizados, a fim de garantir maior segurança às pacientes, visto que existem efeitos colaterais que podem ser prejudiciais, como a endometriose, hiperplasia endometrial e câncer endometrial.

As intoxicações são as causas mais frequentes de acidentes em crianças, principalmente nas faixas etárias de 0 a 4 anos, devido a essa fase ser caracterizada pelo desenvolvimento motor e marcada pela curiosidade destes indivíduos, porém o desconhecimento dos pais em relação a medidas preventivas e a falta de supervisão influenciam direta ou indiretamente na ocorrência dos casos. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever os principais tipos de intoxicação em crianças e quais os fatores que influenciam para ocorrência desses casos. Trata-se de uma Revisão integrativa de literaturas disponíveis nas plataformas BVS, LILACS, MEDLINE e BDENF. Foram selecionados 20 artigos e realizado o fichamento. Observou-se que a intoxicação em crianças pode ser causada por inalação, ingestão ou exposição à substância tóxica ao organismo, causando algum dano ou a morte, através dos agentes, como, medicamentos, produtos de uso doméstico, alimentos e metais, onde são encontrados em ambiente domiciliar, escolar e hospitalar, sendo o sexo masculino o mais afetado. A abordagem deste tema se faz indispensável para a saúde pública, principalmente, no que diz respeito às crianças que estão mais suscetíveis a ocorrência de tais casos.

Over the last several decades, the amount of international migration has increased dramatically, resulting in enormous cash flows to labour-exporting nations. The importance of remittances in sustaining families in poor nations has been well acknowledged by many researchers but at the same time a well-functioning banking system has been deemed important to increase migrant transfers by lowering prices and improving service availability. Therefore, this study attempts to analyse the role of financial sector development in enhancing the effect of remittances in spurring economic growth. This study uses time series data for the period of 198-2020 to delve into the nexus. Using ARDL approach, this study finds the complementary role of remittances and financial sector in both long run and short run.

Ruang lingkup dari artikel ini pada pandemi Covid-19 yang telah membawa dampak serius yang dirasakan oleh banyak negara lain di dunia. Dampak tersebut salah satunya dirasakan oleh Indonesia. Pemerintah Indonesia merespon pandemi dengan mengeluarkan berbagai kebijakan secara cepat untuk mencegah penyebaran virus tersebut. Diantara kebijakan pemerintah tersebut, terdapat keputusan untuk memberikan asimilasi dan integrasi kepada narapidana yang diatur melalui Peraturan Menteri Hukum dan HAM atau Permenkumham Nomor 10 Tahun 2020 dan Kepmenkumham No. M.HH-19.PK.01.04.04 Tahun 2020 tentunya dengan berbagai syarat. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka atau penelitian normatif karena berkaitan dengan kebijakan atau peraturan. Hasil penelitian yang didapat menunjukan bahwa dengan dikeluarkannya kebijakan asimilasi dan integrasi narapidana di tengan Pandemi Covid-19 dinilai sebagai langkah preventif dalam mencegah penularan Covid-19 di dalam Lapas. Karena memang penularan Covid-19 terjadi antara manusia ke manusia, maka dengan melihat kondisi Lembaga Pemasyarakatan di Indonesia yang telah melebihi kapasitas (overcapacity), menjadi kekhawatiran akan menjadi tempat penularan Covid-19. Namun seiring dengan kebijakan tersebut, muncul beberapa problematika salah satunya seperti narapidana yang dibebaskan kembali melakukan kejahatan dan harus masuk penjara lagi. Hal tersebut menggambarkan penting untuk memilah dan betul-betul menilai narapidana yang pantas dibebaskan.

Examining and Understanding the Dynamics of COVID-19 Pandemic and the Ecosystems Theory-Social Work Perspectives
Authors: Attipoe Hope
Published: April 2022

The novel COVID-19 has affected every aspect of our lives in tremendous and unimaginable ways. The systems impacted include healthcare, education, economy, employment, and social systems including children and families. It has also affected our political and legal systems including individual rights as well as national discourse and international travel and relations. The advent of this unique and extraordinary issue requires that professionals like social workers, doctors, counselors/therapists, and psychologists adapt their approaches, strategies, skills, services and interventions to better serve clients/patients and operate effectively in the new societal order. This article explores the effect and response to the COVID-19 Pandemic within the United States as well as in the global context and draw an analytical relationship between it and the ecosystems theory. Thus, using the conceptual framework of the ecosystems theory, I draw a relationship between human behavior and the social environment using anecdotal cases in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. I contend that the polarized reactions from certain groups of individuals in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and mask mandates are because people are social beings and are inextricably impacted by their social and ecological environment, as well as factors within this environment, and requires a special examination, understanding, knowledge, adaptation, and strategic approach. Finally, I recommend best practice intervention approaches to social workers who are interacting and intervening with, and/or providing services to these unique clients to support healthy working relationships, and to facilitate a formidable needs assessment that leads to a successful and safe interaction and intervention.

Roditeljstvo kao prirodni instinkt ili izgrađena kompetencija: Obrazovne potrebe budućih roditelja u koncepciji općeljudskih potreba
Authors: Bjelan Guska Sandra
Published: April 2022

This work implies the need for rethinking on whether successful parenting is being realised through predetermination i.e. natural instinct or by built i.e. acquired competences. It is necessary to actualise this question considering the fact that parenting today is being performed in new, changed circumstances. The issue of fertility motivation is really a special phenomenon, and given the uniqueness and complexity of human reporduction the only acceptable research approach is the interdisciplinary one. Since any behaviour is motivated by a certain need, fertility behaviour can be considered through the prism of human needs. Fertility behaviour means to assume new life roles: the role of a mother and a father. Different possibilities of performance increase the complexity of defining motherhood and fatherehood: biological motherhood and fatherhood, medically assisted reproduction, adoption, guardianship, foster care, and often it is not entirely clear who is and who can be considered as a child's parent. As the parent identity is based on parenting practices, and if they should be successful, responsible and in the best interests of the child, it is essential for parents to be competent and to have a certain educational culture. Analysis of the available relevant literature enables a modern approach to review activities, procedures and behaviour patterns which define the quality of parental role, and empirical findings indicate that there are some educational requirements to be met in the process of learning and teaching in order to provide foundation to manage the role of the parent in the best possible way.

Ergonomics is much broader than preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The successful application of ergonomics assures high productivity, avoidance of illnesses and injuries, and increased satisfaction among workers. Unsuccessful application, on the other hand, can lead to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This article sets forth broad important background information on ergonomics so that the dental practitioner can have a general awareness of ergonomic risk factors as well as some basis for understanding the ongoing dialogue about ergonomics, its diagnosis, treatment, and regulation. This article provides alternatives to be considered by the practitioner in light of the practitioner’s own circumstances, experiences and goals. Dentists are often exposed to occupational health hazards such as stress, high workload, and ergonomic and mental strain. However, there are limited studies focusing on occupational health and factors associated with working conditions. The aim of this study was to identify possible gender differences and factors associated with a high workload.
Legalizing euthanasia or dooming to a slow death
Authors: Khajuria Rajneesh
Published: April 2022

In India, the sanctity of life has been placed on highest pedestal. From the moment of his birth, a person is clothed with basic human rights. Article 21 of the Indian Constitution provides for Right to Life which is one of the basic and most sacrosanct right. This right has received the widest possible interpretation at the hands of judiciary so as to make the human existence a dignified one. With the pronouncement of judgment by the Apex Court of India in Aruna Shaunbaugh’s case on  March 7, 2011, a new debate has started in the country regarding the legalization of euthanasia in India. Euthanasia is one of the most debated and controversial topics in the world. Euthanasia , basically, is bringing about the death of a terminally ill patient or a person who is in persistent vegetative state so that his life which is merely a namesake can be peacefully end up. Thus, the basic intention behind euthanasia is to ensure a less painful death to a person who is in any case going to die after a long period of suffering.

The study aimed to clarify the aspects of protection provided for the delinquent child while dealing with the security and judicial authorities in the United Arab Emirates compared to the legislation of other countries. Indeed, the phenomenon of child delinquency is one of the most dangerous phenomena that children may be exposed to and leads them to wrongdoing and obstruction of public order in society. It prompted the UAE legislator to look after the delinquent child and take care of him. The study relied on the descriptive-analytical approach, to suit it with the understanding of all its elements and the determination of the facts, through the legal analysis of the phenomenon of delinquency and the statement of its causes and legal solutions according to what was stated by the UAE legislator. The study reached many results, including that the UAE legislator, like other international legislation, devoted special care for the delinquent child by enacting a set of preventive and deterrent laws, through which the aim was to protect the delinquent child, as these legislations contained many guarantees and mechanisms that provide him with care.

Fin tube heat exchangers are used in many heating and cooling devices for the purpose of heat transfer from one element to other by conduction and convection. Due to their designs fin tube heat exchangers also provide a control space or volume for carrying out chemical reactions by extracting heat from the surrounding or liberating heat to the surrounding while undergoing an endothermic or exothermic reaction respectively. The Thermally Activated Cooling (TAC) system developed by Thermax Ltd. is a device one of its kind. It comprises of metallic powder which undergoes endothermic and exothermic reactions at different temperature. When arranged in a proper cycle desired cooling effect can be obtained via this process, The fin tube heat exchangers comprise of metallic powder and provide a control volume for reactions and a conductive surface for heat transfer. The amount of metallic powder in the heat exchanger is proportional to its performance, which is directly proportional to the COP of refrigeration system. The agenda of this project is to enhance the material filling process which is a crucial stage and requires a lot of time.
A Brief account of british health policies in assam under colonial government
Authors: Phukan Akashi
Published: April 2022

Public health has become another important area of research in recent years and many studies have been done on endemic diseases like cholera, smallpox, kala-azar, plague etc in the British India. Response to the epidemic diseases both within the colonial administration and in different sections of the indigenous population–have also attracted the social historians. Historians have treated epidemics as an important event of the mid of the 19th century because it had created major transformation in the society. At first colonial government adopted some policies mainly to serve the needs of the colonizers and soldiers and were extended to urban areas to safeguard the Europeans in mines, plantations, factories and administrative centers. Later they realized that if their surrounding area remained diseased and unclean, it was difficult to protect them. So they adopted some health policies in India as well as in Assam. This paper focuses on public health policies that were adopted by British. This paper also focuses on impact of these policies on society.

Los inicios en la docencia no es tarea fácil para el principiante, es una etapa intensa, estresante, de mucha incertidumbre, pero de grandes aprendizajes. Es en este período se consolidan conocimientos, se aprende y se lleva a cabo un crecimiento personal. El docente enfrenta situaciones reales y empieza a lidiar con ellas; por lo cual el apoyo del centro educativo es fundamental para salir airoso en este proceso de transición. De modo que, se consideró importante centrar este estudio documental en dicho momento del quehacer docente, con la finalidad de valorar los desafíos que enfrentan los recién graduados en el ámbito educativo. La metodología está basada en una revisión bibliográfica, tanto de fuentes primarias como de secundarias y su selección para el correspondiente análisis documental. Las fuentes consultadas fueron artículos, libros, tesis doctoral y documentación oficial gubernamental del país. En este estudio se hace un análisis de los primeros años de iniciación docente, la identidad que va desarrollando a lo largo de la vida profesional, así como la necesidad de una inserción apropiada y apoyada por la comunidad educativa. Así se concluye que, los docentes en su iniciación enfrentan diferentes desafíos pedagógicos en los distintos escenarios donde se desenvuelven.

Uno de los principales retos de la Enseñanza Técnica y Profesional es lograr que los estudiantes de Técnico Medio en Construcción Civil del Instituto Politécnico de la Construcción 26 de julio de Holguín, Cuba, alcancen una formación ambiental en los procesos constructivos. Sin embargo, se evidencian insuficientes conocimientos, limitada percepción, pobre sensibilidad e inadecuado comportamiento para identificar y resolver problemas profesionales durante la ejecución de obras. Por tal razón, se diseña una estrategia de educación ambiental para su formación desde la asignatura Ejecución de Obras I, que es donde se crean las habilidades necesarias que debe alcanzar el estudiante, a partir de la integración de las exigencias ambientales del proceso inversionista de la construcción, durante la docencia, la práctica y la investigación. Para ello se selecciona una muestra de 40 estudiantes mediante el muestreo intencional por ser una población pequeña, y se asume el mismo volumen de la población. Se emplean para su elaboración y validación un conjunto de métodos teóricos, empíricos y estadísticos que permitieron transformaciones cualitativas al evidenciarse mayor comprensión, explicación e interpretación del significado de la apropiación de contenidos ambientales como una vía para resolver los problemas profesionales presentes en sus modos de actuación.
