Published: August 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to validate whether a gratitude program, developed as part of the psychological and emotional support program for children utilizing community child centers, has a positive effect on the grateful disposition, resilience, school and social adaptability of the children. Methods This study analyzed the group differences in the levels of grateful disposition, resilience, school and social adaptability between the experimental group consisting of 53 participants who participated in the gratitude program, and the control group composed of 50 participants who participated in the existing psychological and emotional program, among children using community child centers. The levels of grateful disposition, resilience, school and social adaptability were measured before and after the intervention, and the analysis was conducted using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results The results of the analysis, controlling for the pre-test scores of the experimental and control groups, showed that there was a significant increase in grateful disposition, resilience, school and social adaptability among the children who participated in the gratitude program. Particularly, notable findings include a significant increase in resilience and significant group differences in various aspects. The gratitude program demonstrated a positive impact on grateful behaviors, peer relationships, social activities, as well as cooperation and stability. Conclusions The expansion of community child center programs, which have primarily focused on caregiving and basic academic support, to include psychological and emotional support programs has been emphasized. In this context, a gratitude program was developed, placing a stronger emphasis on a proactive form of the positive psychological element, gratitude. The gratitude program has been found to not only improve psychological factors such as grateful disposition and resilience but also enhance adaptive factors such as school and social adaptability.

Published: August 2023

Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine experiences of New Jersey family medicine residents and preceptors with the etonogestrel subdermal contraceptive implant and to explore barriers to and facilitators of training.
Methods: In this qualitative study, we conducted semistructured individual interviews to explore residents’ and preceptors’ experiences with contraceptive implant procedural training. We invited residents and preceptors from programs with high (5.2–10.9) and low (0.0–0.1) implant procedures per resident to participate. Participants discussed factors that supported or inhibited implant training and provision. We transcribed, coded, and analyzed interviews on a rolling basis. We used memoing to reflect on the data and identify saturation. We developed and refined our codebook using a collaborative, iterative process. We analyzed interviews using deductive and inductive techniques to identify themes.
Results: We interviewed 25 subjects: 14 residents and 11 preceptors from four family medicine residency programs with the highest and lowest implant training numbers. Common barriers included lack of hands-on experience with the procedure, lack of teaching with the procedure, and difficulty scheduling patients. Facilitators included formal training and inclusion of contraception in residency curricula, preceptors’ comfort with the procedure, office sessions dedicated to procedures or gynecology visits, and patient familiarity with the implant.
Conclusions: Family medicine residencies provide unique opportunities to impact provision of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC). We identified potential interventions, including formal implant training sessions, dedicated procedure office sessions, stocking of devices in the office, and staff focused on reproductive health that can aid in scheduling, obtaining devices, and setup.

Published: August 2023

Currently, sharing economy business models play a significant role in the economy (Quang, 2021). The emergence of such models has generated new business opportunities, such as Airbnb and Uber, which are well-known global leisure businesses (Lee et al., 2021; Tseng & Chan, 2021). Using binary regression analysis, this study investigated the factors influencing the leisure business-sharing economy in Thailand. Since there are few studies on the sharing economy in Thailand, this research could be beneficial to Thai sharing economy leisure enterprises. The findings revealed that the sharing economy (online music — Spotify) could be described using Twitter and Line. The sharing economy (online accommodation — Airbnb) could be described using Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. The sharing economy (online taxi service — Grab) could be described by being a student and Line. Because more service providers will appear, businesses must adapt significantly, and everyone has an equal opportunity to enter the sharing economy through simple and easy social media. To strengthen community cooperation, create a sense of security and peace of mind, and reduce the gap in consumption of goods and services in the sharing economy, comprehensive and consistent relevant laws are required for the development of the next phase in resource sharing.
The interaction between rationality, politics and artificial intelligence in the decision-making process in information technology governance
Authors: Gouiaa Raef , Bazarna Anna
Published: August 2023

In the context of information technology governance (ITG), this study delves into the connection between political, rational and technological approaches in the decision-making process (DMP) and their influence on enterprise governance. The primary objective is to explore the interdependence of these approaches and assess their impact. The study employs a literature review that analyzes the relationship among rationality, politics, and technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and business intelligence. The research addresses the question of how these various techniques can be integrated into the decision-making process. It also provides a theoretical framework for implementing each of these models. The authors propose that situations involving AI, rationality, or politics are the basis for the decision-making process. After proceeding with a literature review, a correlation between the actions of certain managers who used Big Data and machine learning in their decision-making process and rationality has been found. However, the research did not find any correlation between these commitments and political models. In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of understanding the interplay between rational and political approaches in the decision-making process within ITG.

Published: August 2023

To comprehensively investigate the molecular transmission patterns of
HIV-1 genotypes among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Chongqing, we
employed 392 pol sequences of MSM to construct a phylogenetic tree and
gene transmission network. The study collected a total of 392 sequences
for analysis. Among the viral subtypes, CRF07_BC accounted for 73.2%
(287/392) and CRF01_AE accounted for 20.7% (81/392), emerging as the
predominant subtypes in this investigation. Additionally, we observed
the presence of CRF55_01B, CRF59_01B, subtype B, CRF08_BC and other
circulating recombinant forms in consecutive detections. The HIV-1
molecular network was constructed with a gene distance threshold of
1.5%, resulting in an entry rate of 61.4% (241/392). Within the
network, we identified a total of 23 molecular clusters, with the
largest cluster being the CRF07_BC molecular cluster comprising 148
node values. Transmitted drug-resistance (TDR) mutations were found in
4.34% of the cases, with 1.79% associated with protease inhibitors
(PIs), 0.51% with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs),
and 2.55% with non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
(NNRTIs). Statistical analysis indicated a higher enrollment rate among
infected individuals with the CRF07_BC subtype, those identifying with
same-sex sexual roles as “vers,” and individuals with higher education
levels. This suggests the need for strengthened investigation and
intervention in this population to prevent the formation of larger
transmission clusters. Furthermore, continuous monitoring of the HIV-1
molecular dynamics network is necessary to promptly and accurately track
changes in molecular epidemic characteristics.
Greater sage-grouse face tradeoffs between predation risk and thermal exposure in selecting habitat
Authors: Beers Aidan , Frey Shandra
Published: August 2023

Climate change is likely to drive widespread species range shifts and
extirpations, mostly on the warm distribution edges, where habitat tends
to be fragmented, of lower quality, support lower population density,
and at greater risk from extreme weather events. In the Intermountain
West, future climate will likely be warmer and drier, driving a
reduction in sagebrush (Artemesia sp.) and other shrubland cover. Among
the species threatened by more xeric climate is the Greater sage-grouse
(Centrocercus urophasianus), which depends on sagebrush for forage and
shelter, though their response to temperature is not well studied. We
deployed 75 data loggers across two valleys in southern Utah and Nevada,
near the southern edge of sage-grouse distribution, and collected
temperature data for 27 months. We used random forest models to test the
impacts of temperature, land cover, and topography on sage-grouse
habitat selection and found that temperature influenced selection in all
seasons and both sites. In Utah, the warmer site, sage-grouse selected
areas near trees during the extremes of both winter and summer. In
autumn and spring those extremes were rarer and sage-grouse avoided
habitat near trees. Conversely, sage-grouse in the cooler Nevada site
selected contiguous patches of sagebrush in extremes periods but only
selected habitat near trees during winter cold, avoiding trees during
summer. Our findings show that extreme temperatures drive sage-grouse to
select habitat near trees despite the risk likely posed by avian
predators. The difference between the Utah and Nevada sites suggests
that sage-grouse prefer sagebrush as thermal shelter but that it may be
inadequate during the hottest times, forcing riskier selection. These
models point toward a more mechanistic understanding of how sage-grouse
distribution may retract at its warm edges. This will refine our
understanding of seasonal habitat requirements and inform management
decisions to prioritize thermal refugia for an imperiled species.

Published: August 2023

Incineration is a main method of disposal low-level radioactive waste (LLRW). However, the combustion characteristics and migration of nuclides during incineration is still unclear. This study first investigated the effect of package mass, feeding time interval, air distribution, and water vapor supply on the combustion characteristics of LLRW and NOx emission. Optimal parameters were obtained based on combustion efficiency and NOx concentration. Then, the migration of nuclides was studied in conditions with the optimal parameters. The results showed that the combustion efficiency and NOx concentration were affected by furnace temperature, redox atmosphere and their distribution inside the furnace. Package mass, feeding time interval, and air distribution were optimized to balance the thermal decomposition rate of the waste and the oxidation rate of the combustible gas generated from thermal decomposition of the waste. Water vapor supply can decrease the furnace temperature and the thermal decomposition rate of the waste. The optimal parameters of package mass, feeding time interval, air distribution, and the feeding rate of water vapor is 100 g/bag, 40 seconds, 0.5/0.23/0.23/0.23 (excess air coefficient) for the first layer to fourth layer of air inlet, and 25 kg per hours, respectively. During incineration, more than 99% nuclides were fixed in bottom ash. The order of the ratio of nuclides in flue gas, fly ash, and bottom ash is bottom ash > flue gas > fly ash. Based on the ratio of nuclides in fly ash and flue gas, the order of volatility of nuclides during incineration is Cr > C s> Mn > Co > Nb > Zr.

Published: August 2023

Magnetohydrodynamic fluid-flows attract a lot of attention in the extrusion of polymers, in the theory of nanofluids, as well as in the consideration of biological fluids. The considered problem in the paper is the flow and heat transfer of nanoand micro-polar fluid in inclined channel. Fluid-flow is steady, while nano- and micro-polar fluids are incompressible, immiscible, and electrically conductive. The upper and lower channel plates are electrically insulated and maintained at constant and different temperatures. External applied magnetic field is perpendicular to the fluid-flow and considered problem is in induction-less approximation. The equations of the considered problem are reduced to ODE, which are analytically solved in closed form. The influence of characteristics parameters of nano- and micro-polar fluids on velocity, micro-rotation and temperature fields are graphically shown and discussed. The general conclusions given through the analysis of graphs can be used for better understanding of the flow and heat transfer of nano- and micro-polar fluid, which have a great practical application. Fluids with nanoparticles innovated the modern era, due to their comprehensive applications in nanotechnology and manufacturing processes, while the theory of micro-polar fluids explains the flow of biological fluids and various types of liquid metals and crystals.

Published: August 2023

In this paper, influence of the temperature fluctuations, (as a version of turbulence-radiation interaction), on the flame temperature and radiative heat exchange inside the pulverized coal-fired furnace was investigated. The radiative heat exchange was solved by the Hottel zonal model. The influence of the temperature fluctuation was studied for three values of the extinction coefficient of the flame: 0.3 m?1, 1.0 m?1, and 2.0 m?1. The investigation was conducted for the relative temperature fluctuations obtained by solving the transport equation for the temperature variance, and for four constant values of the relative temperature fluctuations (0.0, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2). The maximal values of the mean temperature fluctuations and relative temperature fluctuations were obtained in the region close to the burners. The decrease of the flame temperature of about 100 K was obtained in the hottest region, for every extinction coefficient. An increase in the mean wall flux was found to be on the order of several percents, compared to the case without the temperature fluctuations. When the temperature variance was calculated, the mean relative temperature fluctuations were approximately 15%, for every extinction coefficient. The mean wall fluxes increased and flame temperature at the furnace exit plane decreased with the increase in the relative temperature fluctuations. The selected indicators of the furnace operation, such as the mean wall flux and mean flame temperature at the furnace exit plane, obtained for the calculated temperature variance, were close to the values predicted for the constant relative temperature fluctuation of 15%.

Information technology for gender recognition by voice
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Koshtura Diana
Published: August 2023

Gender recognition from voice is a challenging problem in speech processing. This task involves extracting meaningful features from speech signals and classifying them into male or female categories. In this article, was implemented a gender recognition system using Python programming. I first recorded voice samples from both male and female speakers and extracted Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) as features. Then trained, a Support VectorMachine (SVM) classifier was on these features and evaluated its performance using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. These experiments demonstrated that proposed system should achieve high accuracy on the test set and will accurately predict the gender of a speaker based on their voice. I also explored using pre-trained models to reduce the need for large amounts of training data and found that they can provide good performance while requiring less computation. This study highlights the potential of using machine learning techniques for gender recognition from voice and can be extended to other speech processing applications.

Ukhuwah Dalam Al-Qur’an (Studi Tafsir Tematik)
Authors: Hadari
Published: August 2023

Kata ukhuwah sering digandengkan dengan kata islamiyah, sehingga memunculkan istilah ukhuwah islamiyah. Masyarakat muslim mengenal istilah Ukhuwah Islamiyyah. Selama ini ada kesan bahwa istilah tersebut bermakna “persaudaraan yang dijalin oleh sesama Muslim”, atau dengan kata lain, “persaudaraan antar sesama Muslim”, sehingga  kata “Islamiyyah” dijadikan pelaku ukhuwah itu. Pemahaman ini kurang tepat karena kata Islamiyyah yang dirangkaikan dengan kata ukhuwah lebih tepat dipahami sebagai adjectiva (sifat), sehingga ukhuwah Islamiyah berarti persaudaraan yang bersifat Islami atau yang diajarkan oleh Islam, paling tidak ada dua alasannya. Pertama, al-Qur’an dan hadis memperkenalkan bermacam-macam per­saudara­­an. Kedua, karena alasan kebahasaan. Di dalam bahasa Arab, kata sifat selalu harus disesuaikan dengan yang disifatinya. Jika yang disifati berbentuk indefinitif (nakirah) maupun feminin (mu’annas\), kata sifatnya pun harus demikian. Ini terlihat secara jelas pada prase ukhuwwah Islamiyyah dan al-Ukhuwwah al-Islamiyyah. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif. Jenis penelitian ini penelitian kepustakaan (library research) dengan pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan ilmu tafsir. Teknik pengumpulan data penelitian ini adalah penelaahan dan pengkajian bahan-bahan pustaka (library research) dengan langkah-langkahnya adalah menetapkan masalah dan tujuan penelitian mengenai ayat-ayat ukhuwah dalam Al-Qur’an, mengumpulkan data mengenai konsep ukhuwah dalam Al-Qur’an. Pengolahan data melalui tiga tahap yakni menganalisis, memaparkan, dan merumuskan penafsiran ayat-ayat ukhuwah, dianalisis secara kuali­tatif kemudian menarik kesimpulan.

After the establishment of the independent Greek state, psychiatry had not been adequately developed and was not a branch of medical science. Thus, there was a crucial absence of care for the mentally ill as there were no corresponding psychiatric hospitals. The time period examined is characterized by the gradual development of psychiatry and the marginalization of traditional practices, at a relatively slow pace. However,
the focus on it aspires to provide useful information for the development of the bases of psychiatric hospitals policies.
This paper aims to investigate the development of psychiatric hospitals policy in the Greek state in the historical and social context of the 19th century, in order to highlight the foundations for the advancement
of this social policy sector, which were developed in a more organized and thorough way in the 20th century. For this purpose, a bibliographic review was made, which was based on the search for reviews published
in international scientific journals, in English and Greek, during the period 2021, regarding the development of psychiatric hospitals and the provided psychiatric care in Greece, the period of the newly formed Greek
state. The methodology is based on the literature review of data collected through Google Scholar, Pubmed, through publications, articles, and doctoral dissertations.
Gewalt statt Liebe – Liebe statt Gewalt. Eine Rehabilitierung des ödipalen Liebesmodells
Authors: Boothe Brigitte
Published: August 2023

Maligne Elternschaft wird dem mythischen Ödipus zum Verhängnis. Kindliches Liebesverlangen bestimmt dagegen das psychoanalytische Ödipus-Narrativ. Es geht es um Wünsche und Angstvorstellungen sowie beziehungsdynamische Erfahrungen kindlichen Ursprungs, die sich auf Liebe, Intimität und Privilegierung richten und bedeutenden Einfluss auf die Persönlichkeitsbildung ausüben. Die ödipale Beziehungsdynamik, hier illustriert anhand von Beispielen aus dem Briefwechsel der Verlobten Martha Bernays und Sigmund Freud, verbindet Ernst und Spiel, Progression und Regression: Die Beteiligten können miteinander und füreinander diesseits und jenseits des Erotischen und Sexuellen in leiblicher und sprachlicher Kommunikation alle Freuden der Regression – Hingabe und Preisgabe – geniessen, Sorge für den anderen tragen sowie dessen Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung respektieren.

A developed small scale kenaf spinning and reeling machine was evaluated in this study. The machine uses the principle of the ring spinning technique to produce spun kenaf-yarn (single or double-ply). The machine component includes two 0.5 kW electric motors positioned on a 640×433×10 mm mild steel frame (with speeds of the electric motors controlled by 0.5 kW variable frequency drives), twisting spindle, inlet frustum, feed roller shaft, reeling and spinning shafts, bearings, and a bevel gear. The machine was evaluated using different spinning speeds (90, 100 and 110 rpm), reeling speeds (60, 70 and 80 rpm) and a kenaf sample (Ifeken DI 400). At the spinning and reeling speeds combination of 90 and 80 rev·min−1, the developed machine was able to produce a continuous length of kenaf yarn twisted at 95.5 turns per minute with a production speed of 0.94 m·min−1 at the highest efficiency (88.9%) of the machine. The level of twist of the spun yarn spun provides information on the required twist level for kenaf fibre as deviation from this value was discovered to cause deformation on the spun yarn. This machine was able to reduce the drudgery involved in the production of spun kenaf-yarn and the technology is expected to positively influence kenaf’s growth and utilization in Nigeria.

The research model used was ADDIE development and the research design used was research and development. The subjects in this study were 2 physics teachers and 20 class X students at SMA Negeri 1 Meulaboh. Research data was obtained through expert lecturer validation sheets, teacher and student response questionnaires. The feasibility of the module is measured by the validation of expert lecturers and questionnaire responses by research subjects. The overall result of the module validation shows a score of 95.07% which falls into the very feasible category, the teacher's response is 79% and the student's response is 74.5%. Data processing was carried out through statistical analysis using a Likert scale. The validation results show that the module is suitable for use and the teacher and student response questionnaires show the subject's response is to agree. From the two measurements, it was found that the Laboratory Work-based Physics Module with the Science Process Skills approach could increase the interest of high school students.

Published: August 2023

The research aims to determine the effectiveness of guided inquiry with Edmodo-based mobile learning system implementation in physics learning. Edmodo is a learning management system application developed for mobile learning that enables students to access tasks and teaching materials anytime and anywhere. This research was quasi-experimental that used a pretest-posttest control group design with 11th-grade students in SMAN 1 Makassar as a sample, and each class consisted of 33 students who were used as the experimental class and the control class. The sample selection was carried out using a purposive sampling technique. The instrument used in this study was a physics learning achievement test in the form of multiple-choice tests. Data were analyzed using the T-test on two samples with test equipment that had gone through expert validation tests and empirical tests. The result of the T-test analysis showed no difference in learning outcomes between experimental and control classes before being treated, this result contradicts the results of the T-test analysis after treatment which shows significant differences in physics learning outcomes in students taught using guided inquiry by applying a learning-based mobile learning system with students taught using guided inquiry without mobile learning system. Based on these two T-test results and by using Cohen-D analysis with the result of 2,980. Therefore, the application of a mobile learning system based on Edmodo is effective in improving physics learning students’ outcomes in class XI MIPA SMA Negeri 1 Makassar.
