The numerous batik industries in Indonesia, including the province of East Java, are evidence of the fast-paced growth of batik in that country. Batik Businesses in East Java continue to perform poorly due to management issues that are numerous and interconnected. The resource-based theory emphasizes internal elements in elucidating business strategy through competitive advantage as a variable that influences the impact of human capital on the performance of Batik SMEs in East Java. The sampling strategy used in this research was proportional random sampling, with numbered samples drawn from 140 East Javan batik SMEs. A structural equation modeling (SEM) study demonstrates how human capital affects MSMEs' performance and competitive advantage. The link between human capital and the success of batik MSMEs in East Java can be mediated by competitive advantage. Based on the research findings, suggestions are put forward for science. The results of this research can enrich references and scientific repertoire related to Resource-Based Theory and can be implemented in MSMEs who want to get good performance by owning, mastering, and utilizing intangible assets through human capital. Batik SMEs in East Java need to improve leadership skills to be more cooperative with employees and partners and improve relations between employees, partners, and consumers, for further researchers can conduct a study of the business environment and network (networking) efforts to improve the performance of MSMEs.

Nowadays, the healthy lifestyle of modern society has increased. However, modern society still considers myths, rituals, and magic to improve their healthy lifestyle. This study aims to discover how myths, rituals, and magic, which are part of the consumer behavior culture, increase self-efficacy and healthy lifestyle behavior in modern society. This research used a qualitative approach based on consumer behavior and self-efficacy in the healthy lifestyle for breastfeeding mothers. In-depth interviews were conducted to determine the self-efficacy among eleven breastfeeding mothers in improving a healthy lifestyle. The coding process for all participants used NVivo to analyze the interviews' results. The interviews indicated that most informants still believe in myths, rituals, and magic about breastfeeding mothers. It indicates that Indonesians having a solid culture, still believe that myths, rituals, and magic could be considered in increasing self-efficacy and healthy lifestyle behavior. So, a healthy lifestyle is currently a significant concern in the community, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Covid-19 has changed many routines in ways that no one could anticipate so that it can reduce the community's healthy lifestyle, especially for breastfeeding mothers. Indonesian, who currently live in the millennial era, still consider that culture as one of the considerations in improving healthy living behavior. Further research should consider how the sustainability of healthy lifestyle behavior is seen from social capital through knowledge mechanisms regarding current healthy environmental issues and consumer involvement in the environment. In addition, paying attention to ethics and ethnicity in society is crucial in discussing community culture, especially when considering consumers' healthy lifestyles.
Volatility swaps valuation under a modified risk-neutralized Heston model with a stochastic long-run variance level
Authors: He Xin-Jiang , Lin Sha
Published: March 2023

We consider the pricing of discretely sampled volatility swaps under a modified Heston model, whose risk-neutralized volatility process contains a stochastic long-run variance level. We derive an analytical forward characteristic function under this model, which has never been presented in the literature before. Based on this, we further obtain an analytical pricing formula for volatility swaps which can guarantee the computational accuracy and efficiency. We also demonstrate the significant impact of the introduced stochastic long-run variance level on volatility swap prices with synthetic as well as calibrated parameters.

A modification to the Schrödinger equation for broader bandwidth gravity-capillary waves on deep water with depth-uniform current
Authors: Halder Sourav , Dhar Dr. Asoke Kumar
Published: March 2023

We derive a nonlinear Schrödinger equation for the propagation of the three-dimensional broader bandwidth gravity-capillary waves including the effect of depth-uniform current. In this derivation, the restriction of narrow bandwidth constraint is extended, so that this equation will be more appropriate for application to a realistic sea wave spectrum. From this equation, an instability condition is obtained and then instability regions in the perturbed wavenumber space for a uniform wave train are drawn, which are in good agreement with the exact numerical results. As it turns out, the corrections to the stability properties that occur at the fourth-order term arise from an interaction between the mean flow and the frequency-dispersion term. Since the frequency-dispersion term, in the absence of depth-uniform current, for pure capillary waves is of opposite sign for pure gravity waves, so too are the corrections to the instability properties.

High-order explicit second derivative methods with strong stability properties based on Taylor series conditions
Authors: Moradi Afsaneh , Abdi Ali , Hojjati Gholamreza
Published: March 2023

When faced with the task of solving hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs), high order, strong stability-preserving (SSP) time integration methods are often needed to ensure preservation of the nonlinear strong stability properties of spatial discretizations. Among such methods, SSP second derivative time-stepping schemes have been recently introduced and used for evolving hyperbolic PDEs. In previous works, coupling of forward Euler and a second derivative formulation led to sufficient conditions for a second derivative general linear method (SGLM), which preserve the strong stability properties of spatial discretizations. However, for such methods, the types of spatial discretizations that can be used are limited. In this paper, we use a formulation based on forward Euler and Taylor series conditions to extend the SSP SGLM framework. We investigate the construction of SSP second derivative diagonally implicit multistage integration methods (SDIMSIMs) as a subclass of SGLMs with order \(p=r=s\) and stage order \(q=p, p−1\) up to order eight, where r is the number of external stages and s is the number of internal stages of the method. Proposed methods are examined on some one-dimensional linear and nonlinear systems to verify their theoretical order, and show potential of these schemes in preserving some nonlinear stability properties such as positivity and total variation.

A comparison of explicit Runge-Kutta methods
Authors: Walters Stephen J. , Turner Ross J. , Forbes Lawrence K.
Published: March 2023

Recent higher-order explicit Runge–Kutta methods are compared with the classic fourth-order (RK4) method in long-term integration of both energy-conserving and lossy systems. By comparing quantity of function evaluations against accuracy for systems with and without known solutions, optimal methods are proposed. For a conservative system, we consider positional accuracy for Newtonian systems of two or three bodies and total angular momentum for a simplified Solar System model, over moderate astronomical timescales (tens of millions of years). For a nonconservative system, we investigate a relativistic two-body problem with gravitational wave emission. We find that methods of tenth and twelfth order consistently outperform lower-order methods for the systems considered here.

Published: March 2023

We consider a local projection stabilization based on biorthogonal systems for convection–diffusion–reaction differential equations with mixed boundary conditions. The approach based on biorthogonal systems is numerically more efficient than other existing approaches to obtain a uniform approximation for convection dominated problems. We prove optimal a priori error estimates for the proposed numerical technique. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the performance of the approach.

Authors: Zhang Yi , Chen Xiangping , Lao Yuewen , Qiu Xiaobin , Liu Kang , Zhuang Yiyu , Gong Xiaoyan , Wang Ping
Published: March 2023

Background

The World Health Organization recommends regular hand hygiene monitoring and feedback to improve hand hygiene behaviors and health care–associated infection rates. Intelligent technologies for hand hygiene are increasingly being developed as alternative or supplemental monitoring approaches. However, there is insufficient evidence regarding the effect of this type of intervention, with conflicting results in the literature.

Objective

We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of using intelligent technology for hand hygiene in hospitals.

Methods

We searched 7 databases from inception to December 31, 2022. Two reviewers independently and blindly selected studies, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias. A meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.3 and STATA 15.1 software. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were also conducted. Overall certainty of evidence was appraised using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach. The systematic review protocol was registered.

Results

The 36 studies comprised 2 randomized controlled trials and 34 quasi-experimental studies. The included intelligent technologies involved 5 functions: performance reminders，electronic counting and remote monitoring，data processing，feedback，and education. Compared with usual care, the intelligent technology intervention for hand hygiene improved health care workers’ hand hygiene compliance (risk ratio 1.56, 95% CI 1.47-1.66; P<.001), reduced health care–associated infection rates (risk ratio 0.25, 95% CI 0.19-0.33; P<.001), and was not associated with multidrug-resistant organism detection rates (risk ratio 0.53, 95% CI 0.27-1.04; P=.07). Three covariates, including publication year, study design, and intervention, were not factors of hand hygiene compliance or hospital-acquired infection rates analyzed by meta-regression. Sensitivity analysis showed stable results except for the pooled outcome of multidrug-resistant organism detection rates. The caliber of 3 pieces of evidence suggested a dearth of high-caliber research.

Conclusions

Intelligent technologies for hand hygiene play an integral role in hospital. However, low quality of evidence and important heterogeneity were observed. Larger clinical trials are required to evaluate the impact of intelligent technology on multidrug-resistant organism detection rates and other clinical outcomes.

Published: March 2023

Background

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is commonly used for patients with autoimmune conditions. Long-term use of HCQ can cause retinal toxicity, but this risk can be reduced if high doses are avoided.

Objective

We developed and piloted an electronic health record–based dashboard to improve the safe prescribing of HCQ within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). We observed pilot facilities over a 1-year period to determine whether they were able to improve the proportion of patients receiving inappropriate doses of HCQ.

Methods

Patients receiving HCQ were identified from the VHA corporate data warehouse. Using PowerBI (Microsoft Corp), we constructed a dashboard to display patient identifiers and the most recent HCQ dose and weight (flagged if ≥5.2 mg/kg/day). Six VHA pilot facilities were enlisted to test the dashboard and invited to participate in monthly webinars. We performed an interrupted time series analysis using synthetic controls to assess changes in the proportion of patients receiving HCQ ≥5.2 mg/kg/day between October 2020 and November 2021.

Results

At the start of the study period, we identified 18,525 total users of HCQ nationwide at 128 facilities in the VHA, including 1365 patients at the 6 pilot facilities. Nationwide, at baseline, 19.8% (3671/18,525) of patients were receiving high doses of HCQ. We observed significant improvements in the proportion of HCQ prescribed at doses ≥5.2 mg/kg/day among pilot facilities after the dashboard was deployed (–0.06; 95% CI –0.08 to –0.04). The difference in the postintervention linear trend for pilot versus synthetic controls was also significant (–0.06; 95% CI –0.08 to –0.05).

Conclusions

The use of an electronic health record–based dashboard reduced the proportion of patients receiving higher than recommended doses of HCQ and significantly improved performance at 6 VHA facilities. National roll-out of the dashboard will enable further improvements in the safe prescribing of HCQ.
Understanding Views Around the Creation of a Consented, Donated Databank of Clinical Free Text to Develop and Train Natural Language Processing Models for Research: Focus Group Interviews With Stakeholders
Authors: Fitzpatrick Natalie K , Dobson Richard , Roberts Angus , Jones Kerina , Shah Anoop D , Nenadic Goran , Ford Elizabeth
Published: March 2023

Background

Information stored within electronic health records is often recorded as unstructured text. Special computerized natural language processing (NLP) tools are needed to process this text; however, complex governance arrangements make such data in the National Health Service hard to access, and therefore, it is difficult to use for research in improving NLP methods. The creation of a donated databank of clinical free text could provide an important opportunity for researchers to develop NLP methods and tools and may circumvent delays in accessing the data needed to train the models. However, to date, there has been little or no engagement with stakeholders on the acceptability and design considerations of establishing a free-text databank for this purpose.

Objective

This study aimed to ascertain stakeholder views around the creation of a consented, donated databank of clinical free text to help create, train, and evaluate NLP for clinical research and to inform the potential next steps for adopting a partner-led approach to establish a national, funded databank of free text for use by the research community.

Methods

Web-based in-depth focus group interviews were conducted with 4 stakeholder groups (patients and members of the public, clinicians, information governance leads and research ethics members, and NLP researchers).

Results

All stakeholder groups were strongly in favor of the databank and saw great value in creating an environment where NLP tools can be tested and trained to improve their accuracy. Participants highlighted a range of complex issues for consideration as the databank is developed, including communicating the intended purpose, the approach to access and safeguarding the data, who should have access, and how to fund the databank. Participants recommended that a small-scale, gradual approach be adopted to start to gather donations and encouraged further engagement with stakeholders to develop a road map and set of standards for the databank.

Conclusions

These findings provide a clear mandate to begin developing the databank and a framework for stakeholder expectations, which we would aim to meet with the databank delivery.

The history of the Nepal army is brave and glorious in the context of the world military. They protect their own motherland and also making independence, integrity, sovereignty for the nation is its motto. The great campaign for the nation’s security, freedom and protection of the nation through movement is the main goal. It has made an incomparable contribution to the nation; war with the British-Nepal, Nepal-Tibet-China and World War also. It has been successfully achieved with skillful leadership of the military in the past four and half centuries. This paper is fully gathering important information of Nepal army for past to present now. It is getting to answer the question: What was the role of the army to protect the nation? What skill full tactics made to British war? Was Nepal’s army leading a symbolic role of national unity? Why is the Nepali army bravery in the world? All evidence is taken using analytical methods, briefly of the army’s history, role and geo-strategic importance, activities of historical expectation, skills used in different wars for national unity and integration. The army was organized in 1744 by the Gorkha state of Prithvi Narayan Shah and it was the first military structure in South Asian countries. The War of British-Nepal has been a proud history since 1814 and also written as golden words by the side of Britain to the Nepali army. It is very useful evidence for all Nepali people and from other countries of the world that the military will be bright in the future.
Soybean Leaf Disease Detection

Published: March 2023

Abstract: With the continuous integration of computer technology into agricultural production, it also reduces personnel costs while improving agricultural production efficiency and quality. Crop disease control is an important part of agricultural production, and the use of computer vision technology to quickly and accurately identify crop diseases is an important means of ensuring a good harvest of agricultural products and promoting agricultural modernization. In this paper, a recognition method based on deep learning is proposed based on soybean brown spot. The method is divided into image pre- treatment and disease identification. Based on traditional threshold segmentation, the pre-processing process first uses the HSI colour space to filter the information of the normal area of the leaf, adopts OTSU to set the threshold to segment the original image under the Lab colour space, and then merges the segmented images. The final spot segmentation image is obtained. Compared with the renderings of several other commonly used methods of segmentation, this method can better separate the lesions from the leaves. In terms of disease identification, in order to adapt to the working conditions of large samples of farmland operations, a convolutional neural network (CNN) of continuous convolutional layers was constructed with the help of Caffe to extract more advanced features of the image. In the selection of activation functions, this paper selects the Max out unit with stronger fitting ability, and in order to reduce the parameters in the network and prevent the network from overfitting, the sparse Max out unit is used, which effectively improves the performance of the Max out convolutional neural network. The experimental results show that the algorithm is superior to the algorithm based on ordinary convolutional neural network in identifying large sample crop diseases.

Published: March 2023

Abstract: This study meta-synthesize significant findings of relevant studies that have incorporated sign language into an inclusive classroom. The studies related to sign language in an inclusive classroom from 2014-2021 with the use of a set inclusion and exclusion criteria have screened and included nineteen (19) studies. The included studies were collected from Publish or Perish Software and were organized using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) flow diagram. Braun and Clarke’s six-step thematic analysis was used to analyze the synthesized data which resulted in five (5) themes, namely: insufficient support from parents; communication barrier; language barrier; lack of resources; and lack of skills. Results also showed positive feedback when sufficient supportive services were provided. Therefore, incorporating sign language in an inclusive classroom requires skillful sign language teachers, sufficient resource support, and consistency in using sign language. It is recommended that academic institutions advocate sign language to normal students and teachers to achieve effective communication with the non-hearing community.

Evaluating the Role of Particulate Matter as a Surrogate Index for Mould Spores in Residential Tenancy: Implications of New Legislation in Australia
Authors: Jones Cameron L.
Published: March 2023

Abstract: This paper evaluates the practical implications of recent legislative changes in Australia for residential tenancy and minimum rental housing standards, with a focus on the known risks from mould exposure to health. Specifically, the study examines the use of particulate matter (PM) measurements as a surrogate index for mould spores during residential indoor air quality assessments. The findings indicate that PM10 is a useful surrogate index for mould spores, while PM2.5 is less reliable due to size differences between PM2.5 and mould spores. The paper also investigates the relationship between particulate matter, mould spore sizes, and ambient air quality by reviewing relevant literature and presenting case studies from various Australian and international sources. Overall, the study highlights the importance of early detection during onsite inspections to minimize health hazards related to mould and dampness and to improve indoor air quality in residential tenancy spaces.

Abstract: Austenitic stainless steel is widely used materials in the current industrial area including higher and lower temperature applications such as storage tanks, pressure cups, furnace equipment etc. Using ratio of those materials are increasing constantly due to having superior corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, GTAW process are widely used for stainless steel welding, especially for full penetration welds in thin gage materials. Selection of shielding gas and filler material is crucial parameter for the quality, the micro structure and properties of weldments. The weldment properties strongly depended on the shielding gas, since it dominates the mode of metal transfer. Shielding gas not only affects the properties of weld but also determines weldability, the appearance, the shape and penetration of bead as well. Pure argon is mainly used for GTAW as shielding gas at present. The most common shielding gases are argon riches mixtures, such as argon with a few percent helium, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen for GTAW process. In this project we will be made many attempts for made test pieces(SS410) to predict the process parameter of MIG for getting maximum weldment, best mechanical properties and min HAZ. The planned experiments are conducted in the MIG are welding machine; the test piece examination is carried out by following process

El conocimiento de la competitividad de producción de carne de bovino en la región norte de Veracruz es importante porque permite conocer el nivel de ganancia obtenido por los productores y sus posibilidades de supervivencia en un ambiente de libre comercio. Con el objetivo de conocer si la intervención del Gobierno ha favorecido el nivel de competitividad en la producción de carne de bovino en el Norte de Veracruz para recomendar el otorgamiento de subsidios se construyó una Matriz de Análisis de Política (MAP) para los siguientes grupos de productores: convencionales, en transición y empresariales. Los resultados indican que la ganancia privada fue positiva y la relación del costo privado fue menor a la unidad, lo cual señala que la actividad es competitiva. De manera similar, la ganancia económica fue positiva y la relación del costo de los recursos fue menor a la unidad, lo cual indica que los tres sistemas cuentan con ventajas comparativas. El valor del coeficiente de protección efectiva, menor a la unidad, indica que la actividad no tiene protección sobre el precio del producto, ni sobre el precio de los insumos. Por último, el subsidio equivalente a –510, –688 y –538 para los productores de los grupos 1, 2 y 3 indicó que la intervención del Gobierno a través de su política económica no ha favorecido la competitividad del sector pecuario. Al considerar los resultados, se justifica el otorgamiento de subsidios para contrarrestar los efectos negativos que tiene la actual política económica sobre la producción de carne de bovino.

Authors: Nurhayati Lina , Suryadi Didi , Dasari Dadan , Herman Tatang
Published: March 2023

The objective of this study is to determine students’ learning barriers in understanding integral concepts through their thinking processes with the perspective of APOS theory (Action, Process, Object-Scheme). This research applied qualitative research with a case study method. The samples of this research were 19 civil engineering students who had contracted calculus courses and who had been given a written test. The results of the written test were divided into three different categories – they are comprehension ability is high (score ), medium (60  Score <  ) and low (score < 60). Deep   interviews were conducted with three representative students who took the written test and met the criteria    for each group. The results of the interviews showed that students in the high category still had conceptual ontogenic learning obstacle despite passing the APOS path. Students in the moderate category be able to reach the encapsulation stage but they had not been able to de-encapsulate it to the process. They had conceptual and epistemological ontogenical learning obstacles. Whereas the low category students had the tendency to only reach the action stage and had difficulty in doing initial de-encapsulation due to lack of learning experience in the prerequisite materials. The learning obstacles they experienced were psychological and conceptual-ontogenical learning obstacles. Aggregately, the students tended to experience conceptual ontogenic learning obstacle. The result of this study is expected to be used as a basis for designing a hypothetical learning trajectory in future research.

Published: March 2023

Due to the poor instruction process during the Covid-19 Pandemic, especially in mathematics, students frequently need help with data literacy. To overcome these obstacles, they must improve their thinking skills. This study aims to enhance the quality of mathematics instruction, especially students' thinking skills, by implementing Lesson Study to develop sharing and jumping tasks. This qualitative descriptive research was conducted at one of the senior high schools and universities in Manokwari, West Papua, with their students as the research subject. The lesson study was implemented in two cycles through instruction at school and lectures at the university. The lesson study consists of three processes: plan, do, and see. The hypothetical learning trajectory was developed at the lesson design stage and then tested at the teaching-learning stage. The open class results were then analyzed during the reflection step to redesign the sharing and jumping tasks. The success of the research was determined through field notes taken from teachers and students. The frequency distribution table is used as the topic matter. The findings revealed that students' thinking skills developed, indicating they were more interested than in the previous teaching and learning process.

Authors:   Kursk State University, SLATINOV V.B.
Published: March 2023

The purpose of the study is to identify the main trends in the evolution of state and municipal government in Russia at the regional and local levels after the amendments to the Basic Law of the Russian Federation. It is established that the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020 launched the organizational and legal arrangement of a unified system of public authority in the country. On the basis of the amendments, the federal legislation on the organization of power at the regional level has already been transformed, and serious changes are expected in the legal regulation and organization of local self-government. The key direction of the changes is the unification, centralization and "verticalization" of the system of public authority. At the same time, state authorities in the subjects of the Russian Federation will receive additional opportunities in terms of regulation of the local authorities’ activity and control over it. The general orientation of the novels already adopted and proposed for adoption strengthens the system of vertical political and resource control of higher levels of public authority over lower ones. It promotes the state economic policy based on the redistribution of resources accumulated in the federal center through state programs and projects down the "vertical". The key problems in the functioning of such a structure are the difficulties in making decisions on the optimal allocation of resources and the implementation of state policy, the distortion of information when hierarchical political and managerial control prevails.

One of the urgent tasks of the state's policy towards Russian youth is the development and implementation of an effective model of political socialization of young citizens of the country. Due to the current trends in the political process, the importance of strengthening the connection between youth and the state authorities is increasing, which requires the development of new priorities of state strategies in the field of support for young generations. The purpose of the article is to make a systematic analysis of the state and features of the activities of state institutions in determining the key directions of modernization of youth policy. Research methods: historical, comparative and dialectical methods, the method of content analysis are used to acheive this goal. Research results: the article argues that the insufficient efficiency of the state strategies in relation to the youth environment, characteristic of the post-Soviet period, can be explained in the mechanical adherence to the postulates of the liberal doctrine, justifying the reduction of social obligations of the authorities to society. On the other hand, increasing the efforts of the state in the field of political socialization of youth leads to constructive results in the sector of relations "youth-society-state". As an example, an overview of the nomination of new priorities of state policy towards youth, which took place during the preparation of the meeting of the State Council of the Russian Federation in December 2022, is given. It is concluded that the main directions of improving youth policy are dictated by the national interests of modern Russia and have objective prospects for practical implementation.
