Typewriting, once a common service, has largely faded due to the rise of computers and digital technology. However, in Tacloban City, Philippines, one typewriting business has persisted for over 26 years. The study explores the factors behind the continued operation of this lone typist, investigating their motivations, clientele, and adaptation strategies in the digital age. Researchers employed a qualitative case study approach, utilizing purposive sampling to gather data from the sole typewriting service provider. Thematic analysis, following Caulfield's (2019) framework, was used to analyze the data. Findings reveal that the typist's dedication, specialized services, and specific customer base who prefer traditional methods contribute to the business's enduring success despite the widespread availability of digital alternatives. This study offers deeper understanding on the resilience of traditional businesses in a rapidly evolving technological landscape and provides insights into the dynamics of creative destruction and cultural lag within a specific industry.

In this study, the quantitative data were collected using questionnaires (n=200) via the maximum variation purposive sampling strategy, while the qualitative data were obtained from semi-structured interviews (n=29) via convenience sampling. The statistical analysis was conducted using IBM® SPSS® Statistics V24. Descriptive statistics analysis involving means and frequencies was used to analyse the quantitative data. In addition, thematic analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data collected from semi-structured interviews. The inferential statistical procedures, using a non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis (K-W) and Mann-Whitney U, were applied to determine any significant differences regarding the English language lacks and wants of the current ESP course. The findings revealed that medical students were proficient in using main English language skills (i.e., reading and listening) but had major weaknesses in grammar, pronunciation and communication skills. Besides, English sub-skills such as reading textbooks, reading course handouts, reading study notes, writing test/exam answers, following lectures, following question/answer sessions in class, and participating in discussions were used proficiently by medical students as perceived by the three groups of respondents. Medical students are required to have more training in speaking and writing. Based on these findings, the present study concluded that conducting a needs analysis is crucial in designing effective ESP courses. Finally, some pedagogical implications would help tap for course designers and recommendations for future studies.

Smoothing RRT Path for Mobile Robot Navigation Using Bio-inspired Optimization Method
Authors: Saleh Izzati , Borhan Nuradlin , Rahiman Wan
Published: August 2024

This research addresses the challenges of using the Rapidly Exploring Random Tree (RRT) algorithm as a mobile robot path planner. While RRT is known for its flexibility and wide applicability, it has limitations, including careful tuning, susceptibility to local minima, and generating jagged paths. The main objective is to improve the smoothness of RRT-generated trajectories and reduce significant path curvature. A novel approach is proposed to achieve these, integrating the RRT path planner with a modified version of the Whale Optimization Algorithm (RRT-WOA). The modified WOA algorithm incorporates parameter variation () specifically designed to optimize trajectory smoothness. Additionally, Piecewise Cubic Hermite Interpolating Polynomial (PCHIP) instead of conventional splines for point interpolation further smoothes the generated paths. The modified WOA algorithm is thoroughly evaluated through a comprehensive comparative analysis, outperforming other popular population-based optimization algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), and Firefly Algorithm (FA) in terms of optimization time, trajectory smoothness, and improvement from the initial guess. This research contributes a refined trajectory planning approach and highlights the competitive advantage of the modified WOA algorithm in achieving smoother and more efficient trajectories compared to existing methods.

Exposure to Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)presents a potential health risk to individuals through various routes, including dietary intake, particularly for non-smokers. The aim of this study was to measure the levels of PAHs in cassava and cocoyam flour commercially sold and consumed daily in Anambra State Nigeria, and to assess its quality and safety using 100 volunteer students of the School of Pharmacy, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka to determine the daily consumption of cassava and cocoyam flour. Gas chromatography with flame ionization was used to detect the presence and levels of PAHs. Appropriate equations were used to calculate the estimated daily intake(EDI), hazard quotient(HQ) , hazard index(HI), toxic equivalents(TEQ), and incremental life cancer risks(ILCR). Seven PAHs were detected in the cassava flour namely: Fluorene, Fluroranthene, Pyrene, Benzo[a]anthracene, Chrysene, Benzo[b]fluroanthene, and Dibenzo[a,h]anthracene. On the other hand , four PAHs were detected in the cocoyam flour namely: Fluorene, Phenanthrene, Benzo[a]anthracene, and Benzo[k]fluoranthene. While dibenzo[a,h]anthracene had the highest concentration in the cassava flour, phenanthrene had the highest concentration in the cocoyam flour. The control samples showed no presence of PAHs. The values of the Estimated Daily Intake of PAHs in the cocoyam sample ranged from 1.7966e-4 to 4.3419e-4 for children and from 1.2320e-4 to 3.2138e-4 for adults, exceeding the recommended reference doses for both adults and children. The values in the cassava sample ranged from 1.5973e-4 to 6.7722e-4 for adults and from 2.3294e-4 to 9.876e-4 for children. These values exceeded the recommended reference doses for both adults and children. However, the HQ, and HI values for the cassava samples were 1.497e-2for adults and 2.1831e-2 for children, and that of cocoyam was 7.4433e-3 for adults and 1.090e-2 for children were below 1, suggesting non-carcinogenic risk. However, the toxic equivalents significantly surpassed the screening values. The ILCR for 16PAHs (5.08e-3 for adults), and (7.4095e-3 for children) in the cassava flour samples were notably higher than the threshold, underscoring a significant health concern indicating a high cancer risk. The value for the cocoyam, (2.32e-4 for adults), and (4.841e-6 for children) does not portend any cancer risk.

Background: The effects of trabeculectomy on anterior segment parameters have been widely investigated. However, the stabilization time for various glaucoma types after trabeculectomy remains debatable. We investigated the effect of mitomycin C-augmented trabeculectomy on ocular anterior segment parameters in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG) during short-term follow-up using the Pentacam HR.
Methods: In this retrospective observational study, consecutive patients diagnosed with medically uncontrolled POAG or PXG who underwent MMC-augmented trabeculectomy were recruited. All individuals underwent detailed ocular examinations. All trabeculectomies were performed by a single surgeon using the same technique. Anterior segment parameters, including anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV), anterior chamber angle (ACA), and central corneal thickness (CCT) were measured using the Pentacam HR, along with intraocular pressure (IOP) using a Goldmann applanation tonometer, pre-operatively and at 1-week, 1-month, and 3-month post-operative visits.
Results: We included 80 patients with a median (range) age of 58.0 (41.0–86.0) years having a nearly similar sex ratio. The study groups were matched according to sex and age (both P > 0.05). The group-by-time interaction was significant for CCT and ACV (both P < 0.05) but not for IOP, ACD, and ACA (all P > 0.05). The mean (standard deviation [SD]) IOP, ACD, and ACA were comparable between groups (all P > 0.05) during the 3-month period; however, they changed significantly over time in both groups (all P < 0.001). The mean CCT and ACV were comparable between groups at each time point (all P > 0.05), except at the 1-month post-operative visit, at which the mean (SD) ACV was significantly lower in the PXG group (P < 0.05). We found a comparable mean (SD) CCT between paired visits in each group (all P > 0.05), except for the mean (SD) CCT at 3 months, which was significantly lower than that at the 1-month post-operative visit in the PXG group (P < 0.05). We found a comparable mean (SD) ACV between paired visits in each group (all P > 0.05); however, it was significantly lower at the 1-month post-operative versus the baseline visit in both groups and resumed a significantly higher value at the 1-month versus the 1-week visit and at the 3-month versus the 1-month visit in the PXG group (all P < 0.05).
Conclusions: We observed significant changes in IOP, ACD, and ACA over 3 months after post-augmented trabeculectomy in eyes with POAG and PXG; however, the majority of anterior segment parameters were comparable between the two groups. Further large-scale studies with longer follow-up periods should be conducted to verify the post-operative fluctuations in these parameters in POAG and PXG.

Historical credentialing and credit documentation processes, such as transcripts and degrees, only capture skills acquired through traditional in-school experiences. This infrastructure impedes access to education and workforce opportunities for historically and systematically excluded communities by inadequately representing skills gathered through other learning pathways. Recognition technologies such as micro-credentials and learning and employment records (LERs) are seen as potential solutions to express learners' lifelong experiences and achievements and increase access to education and workforce opportunities. The successful implementation of these recognition technologies requires an understanding of the factors necessary for dismantling silos between secondary and postsecondary education. This paper examines challenges and opportunities for implementing micro-credentials and LERs to benefit K–12 learners and provides recommendations for successful implementation.
