An Application of audiovisual distraction to reduce pain in children with thalassemia and acute disease
Authors: Halimah Halimah , Renylda Reta
Published: May 2023

Background: Pain during invasive procedures is an unpleasant thing experienced by all children when hospitalized, including children with acute illnesses or chronic diseases such as thalassemia. Nurses need to implement interventions from atraumatic care to reduce the pain felt by children, such as by providing audiovisual distraction techniques. This study aimed to see the difference in pain felt by thalassemia and non-thalassemia children after being given an audiovisual distraction technique intervention.

Methods: This study uses a quasi-experimental method by comparing the pain of thalassemia children with non-thalassemia children aged 1-12 years after being given audiovisual distraction techniques. The data collection period was from May to August 2022 on 33 children (15 thalassemia children and 18 non-thalassemia children) using purposive sampling techniques from 3 hospitals in Jambi.

Results: Thalassemia children felt no significant difference in pain compared to non-thalassemia children who were given audiovisual distraction techniques.

Conclusion: All children feel pain even though children with chronic diseases have repeated hospitalization experiences, so it is important to provide nursing interventions for pain management, especially in children with chronic conditions (thalassemia), to prevent further effects of recurrent pain felt by children.

Hybrid sensorless control of PMSM in full speed range using HFI and back-EMF
Authors: Medjmadj Slimane
Published: May 2023

The permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are more and more used because of their high performance compared with other AC motors. The present paper proposes a hybrid controller which consists of a high frequency injection estimator and a back-electromotive-force observer in full speed range for the sensorless control of PMSM. The aim objective of the study to prevent speed overshot in startup time of the motor and provides a better dynamic response in transient and permanent states using this structure. A hybrid algorithm is applied to realize a smooth transition from low to high speed. At standstill and very low speed region, HF injection technique is used to detect the rotor initial position. In this first step study, the position estimation is derived from a HF current injection by using only one filter. When the rotor speed goes up to a certain value where back-EMF can provide adequate information, a back-EMF observer will dominate. Thanks to this structure, the mechanical sensor can be engaged using the best estimates and the developed control method is fast, simple, and flexible. The effectiveness, superiority, and performance of the proposed control method and extensive simulation results are provided on a 1 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor drive, demonstrating the expected performances.
Experimental studies of communication channel bandwidth of millimeter wave range indoors
Authors: Merzlikin Anatolii
Published: May 2023

There is a rapid development of technologies worldwide that have access to the Internet, independently exchange data, and upload collected information to cloud storage. Every year, the amount of data transmitted from things and people on the Internet is approximately two zettabytes. The volume of data on the Internet is constantly growing. According to the Internet Live Stats service, more than 50,000 search queries are made on Google every second, 120,000 videos are viewed on YouTube, and almost 2.5 million e-mails are sent. Therefore, it is expedient to implement the fifth generation of communication, which will work in the millimeter range. Promising technologies for building 5G and its implementation include small base stations, which are analogs of conventional mobile network base stations. Within settlements, small base stations should be located short distances from each other (approximately 250 meters). From such parameters, it can be concluded that it will be necessary to use thousands of such stations to cover even a small city, forming a single network that will transmit data to 5G users. Among the advantages, it can be noted that due to the small size of the antennas, they can be placed on any elements of structures and buildings (for example, on the walls of buildings, pillars, etc.) without additional obstacles. The paper presents and investigates the bandwidth of the millimeter wave range indoor communication channel. The structure of the modem and the format of the control command, the dependence of the transmission speed C on the length of the radio line of the IEEE 802.11ad 60 GHz communication system in point-to-point mode (Indoor LOS) and (Indoor NLOS) are presented. In work, there are theoretical assessments of the achievable data transfer rates based on the bandwidth of the Shannon communication channel and practically possible data transfer rates for various segments of the information transfer network for the IEEE 802.11ad standard equipment using different modulation and coding schemes (MCS).

The features of acoustic spectrum of UAVs, spectrum of natural and industrial acoustic noise, noise spectrum of automobile and rail transport, and human speech spectrum were investigated. The method for recognition of UAV sound based on the Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients was proposed. The universal method for detecting UAV based on characteristic features of acoustic spectrum was proposed as well. Both methods were tested using experimental recordings of UAVs and noise sounds and got close well results. The universal recognition method has some worse recognition reliability and false alarm probability, but does not need creation of sound and noise images base.

Pathological placentation (placenta previa and placenta accreta) is one of the main problems in modern obstetrics, which negatively affects maternal and perinatal mortality rates. The use of modern technologies for the timely diagnosis of this pregnancy complication and the correct route of the patient allow to reduce blood loss significantly, to save not only the life of the mother and the child, but also to save the uterus in some cases.The objective: to evaluate the diagnostic possibilities of ultrasound examination of pathological placentation.Materials and methods. An ultrasound examination was performed in 86 pregnant women with pathological placentation. Ultrasound signs of pathological placentation are divided into two groups depending on the gray or color image.Results. In 92 % of examined pregnant women with pathological placentation, the clear zone was lost. In patients with placenta previa a loss of the hypoechoic retroplacental zone was found in 70 % of cases, a significant number of placental lacunae of various shapes and sizes – 87 %, segmental thinning of the myometrium <1 mm – 50 %.Protrusion of the uterus into the surrounding tissues is often observed due to placenta accreta, in cases of placenta percreta – the exophytic mass indicates the invasion of the placental tissue through the myometrium into the extrauterine organs. 80 % of pregnant women with placenta previa and 75 % of patients with placenta accreta have hypervascularization within or under the placental bed.Conclusions. Ultrasound examination is an affordable and effective method of visualization of pathological placentation. The following criteria for placenta accreta were established and confirmed: myometrial thinning <1 mm, placental lacunae, bladder wall rupture, loss of the lunate zone, placental protrusion, subplacental vascularization, uterovesicular hypervascularization, and vessels that vascularize the lacunae.

Abstract

Exploration of identity in individuals in the emerging adulthood period has affected subjective well-being which is characterized by the emergence of negative affect to the point where evaluations of low life satisfaction and problem-focused coping are shown to be one of the factors that influence subjective well-being. This study aims to determine the relationship between problem focused coping and subjective well-being in emerging adulthood. Sampling in this study using non-probability sampling technique by accidental sampling. This study involved 112 people in Indonesia who were in the emerging adulthood period, namely 18-25 years of age. This type of research is quantitative research using data analysis techniques, namely the Pearson Product Moment correlation test and showing the results of the value of rxy = 0.721 with a significance of 0.000 (p <0.01). This means that there is a very significant positive relationship between problem focused coping and subjective well-being in emerging adulthood. Thus, the higher the individual's problem focused coping in the emerging adulthood period, the higher the subjective well-being in emerging adulthood, and vice versa.

In metrology, measurement uncertainty is an expression of the statistical variance of values attributed to a measured quantity.
All measurements are subject to uncertainty, and the measurement result is complete only when it is accompanied by data on the uncertainty associated with it. The scientists have considered the main provisions of the current regulatory and methodological documents on the problem of accounting for uncertainty values when measuring physical factors of a non-ionizing nature and evaluating their results. In particular, the fundamental in terms of the definition and application of measurement uncertainty GOST 34100.1–2017/ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008 is considered in detail. The authors highlighted the issues of taking into account measurement uncertainty in the hygienic assessment of physical factors of the production environment, including the rules for evaluating measurement results taking into account uncertainty, a list of certified methods for measuring physical factors in the workplace indicating the parameters of extended uncertainty, ways to reduce uncertainty.
A simulation study of single-vendor, single and multiple-manufacturers supply chain system, with stochastic demand and two distribution policies
Authors:   Operation Research and Business informatics Department, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wroclaw, Poland, Adegbola Kehinde
Published: May 2023

This paper addresses the long-standing stochastic single-vendor, multi-manufacturer inventory control problem, using simulation optimization. It is assumed that Manufacturers producing similar goods experience very high random demand; hence, safety stock of raw materials is held in reserve in their warehouses. The vendor supplying this raw material (principal ingredients) as a policy restricts shipments to multiples of full truck load. Thus, it is necessary to take replenishment decision and coordinate delivery among these manufacturers. To solve this problem, we modeled the single vendor, single manufacturer version of the problem (AlDurgam et al., 2017) using simulation optimization techniques, which was validated numerically using parameters and results from AlDurgam et al. (2017). The simulation model was modified systematically to relax the single manufacturer assumption under two distribution policies namely, joint reorder point and vendor managed inventory. These policies were evidently modeled with stringent conditions in literature. A numerical example was provided to compare the performances of the two proposed policies, and the VMI policy was found to performed better in terms of financial savings. Lastly, we investigate the robustness of the famous continuous review (Q, R) inventory policy which is widely used in the mathematical modeling of this problem, against the common cycle assumption. The coefficient of variation is thus suggested as a judgment criterion of when to embrace simulation modeling ahead of other modeling techniques.
Broken Promises Marketing. Relations, Communication Strategies, and Ethics of Video Game Journalists and Developers: The Case of Cyberpunk 2077
Authors: Siuda Piotr
Published: May 2023

Cyberpunk 2077's negative reception stood in striking contrast to the pre-release hype around the video game built by the producer's marketing campaign and the gaming press. This study examines a selection of gaming websites, to consider their pre-release Cyberpunk 2077 coverage and the discrepancies between these early reports and the released game. Using inductive conventional content analysis, framed as thematic analysis, 148 press articles were investigated divided into nine subcategories, and three categories. These articles told an almost exclusively positive narrative, promising great performance and features. The uncritical reception of publisher information by journalists allows the authors to propose the notion of “broken promises marketing”. The article contextualizes this term in the gaming ecosystem, arguing that over-optimistic marketing is amplified through features of the online press ecology. Finally, the results are considered from a business ethics perspective, with a set of communications recommendations for both journalists and game publishers.

Examining the Relationships between Academic Adaptation and Life-Domain Issues among Working University Students in Estonia
Authors: Abu Sayed Toyon Mohammad
Published: May 2023

Juggling work, personal responsibilities, and academic obligations can be challenging for many students, who work while studying, potentially leading to difficulties in adapting to the academic demands and compromising academic success. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between life domain (e.g., work, personal, and university) obstacles and academic adaptation among working university students in Estonia. Using the data from the Eurostudent-VII survey, the study estimated quantitative measures of association. The findings suggest that work-related issues negatively affect academic adaptation, while concerns related to childcare and the financial situation did not have any statistically significant impact. In contrast, issues with unsuitable and demanding academic programmes were found to significantly affect academic adaptation for working students. This study sheds light on the challenges faced by working students and the manner in which these obstacles can affect academic experiences, underscoring the need for support for employed university students in Estonia. Such knowledge can be put to further research use, and it can also inform initiatives aimed at assisting students, who are simultaneously working and pursuing higher education.
Microdosing Is More Than Placebo In Some Individuals: A Critical Re-examination of ‘Self-blinding citizen science to explore psychedelic microdosing’
Authors: Gregory
Published: May 2023

This paper presents a critical re-examination of the conclusions drawn from Szigeti et al.'s (2021) “Self-blinding Citizen Science to Explore Psychedelic Microdosing”. The current article’s approach was to a) examine the utility of the guess and expectation variables from the original research, b) explore if drug intensity plays a role in the outcomes, and c) test for within-person variability in the outcomes and effects. Reanalysis and reinterpretation finds that while the original conclusions were partially supported, there are certain conditions for subgroups of the sample which elicited positive psychedelic microdosing effects when compared to placebo. More specifically, we find that there are identifiable microdosing effects for participants who a) received both the placebo and treatment during their trial (in terms of affective benefits), b) felt some level of intoxication (instead of sub-perceptual doses), c) can correctly identify placebo from treatment, and d) participants with at least mild depression. This reinterpretation adds to a growing body of evidence that there do appear to be certain benefits found for the use of microdoses of psychedelics.
Animal capital: a new way to define human-animal bond in view of global changes
Authors: Sueur Cédric , Fourneret Eric , Espinosa Romain
Published: May 2023

We propose a new conceptual framework called "animal capital" to recognize the contribution of animals to human society beyond their immediate material value. Humans directly or indirectly depend on 50,000 of the approximately eight million animal species on Earth, but in their daily lives, they only interact with a dozen species at most. This limited interaction weakens the stability of current civilizations and contributes to the decline of biodiversity. The loss of biodiversity increases the risk of ecosystem destabilization, higher food insecurity, and pandemic outbreaks. global economic system fails to correctly value the benefits of biodiversity, leading to suboptimal investment in animal protection. Therefore, recognizing the social contribution of non-human animals is crucial for their survival and the survival of humankind. We propose four components of animal capital: material, natural, social, and cultural, which can be linked to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The material animal capital refers to the products of animals, such as food production and clothing. The natural capital refers to the ecological services provided by animals, such as pollination and pest control. The social capital recognizes the emotional and psychological benefits of animals, such as companionship and emotional support. The cultural capital acknowledges the cultural and historical significance of animals, such as their role in art and literature. We argue that recognizing the contribution of animals to society through the framework of animal capital can lead to more optimal investment in animal protection and conservation. It can also contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, such as the reduction of poverty and hunger, the promotion of good health and well-being, and the protection of life on land.

Применение цветовых пространств в различных приложениях компьютерного зрения
Authors: Federov Roman
Published: May 2023

Цвет является важным атрибутом восприятия окружающего мира и играет существенную роль в обработке и анализе изображений в области компьютерного зрения. Цветовые пространства представляют собой способ организации цветовой информации, позволяющий эффективно работать с цветными изображениями. В данной работе рассматриваются различные цветовые пространства и их применение в различных задачах компьютерного зрения.В первой части работы рассматриваются основные цветовые модели, такие как RGB, HSV и LAB. Цветовая модель RGB является наиболее распространенной и используется в большинстве цифровых устройств. Модель HSV позволяет представить цвет в терминах оттенка, насыщенности и значений яркости, что упрощает манипуляции с цветовыми компонентами. Модель LAB основана на восприятии цвета человеческим глазом и позволяет более точно описывать цветовую информацию. Рассмотрение этих цветовых моделей помогает понять основные принципы и возможности работы с цветовыми пространствами.Во второй части работы описываются конкретные приложения цветовых пространств в компьютерном зрении. Одним из таких приложений является сегментация объектов на основе цвета. Цветовые пространства позволяют выделить объекты с определенными цветовыми характеристиками и разделить их от фона.

A Climate Counternarrative: Dubious Carbon Accounting is Making a Canopy Problem Look Like an Energy Problem (for Consent and Profit)
Authors: de Bernardy Denis
Published: May 2023

The modern rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide is man-made but driven by land stewardship changes rather than industrial activities like fossil fuels. Carbon cycle research fails to adequately convey surface-level interactions like plants soaking up carbon dioxide emitted near them. Clear-cutting a forest, for instance, produces a large plume of biogenic carbon dioxide that wind can carry away, while a thinned forest produces no net carbon dioxide flux above the canopy. The carbon stock models used in carbon accounting capture snapshots of the effects of such plumes, so they go uncounted despite dwarfing emission sources that do get tracked. This dubious accounting then serves to justify specious activities to curb and sequester the latter. These plumes became significant when farmers and loggers removed canopy during the industrial era. They can be curbed by strategically putting plants back in. Their magnitude explains the modern rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide without contradicting isotopic findings. (Plants are simply cycling the carbon first.) Fossil fuels contribute a small amount due to sources with no nearby plants, like industrial smokestacks. Smokestack output could be fed to plants, or just left as is since curbing these plumes would turn around the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Objectives: Difficulties with deception detection may leave older adults especially vulnerable to fraud. Interoception, i.e., the awareness of one’s bodily signals, has been shown to influence deception detection, but this relationship has not been examined in aging yet. The present study investigated effects of interoceptive accuracy on two forms of deception detection: detecting interpersonal lies in videos and identifying text-based deception in phishing emails.Method: Younger (18-34 years) and older (53-82 years) adults completed a heartbeat-detection task to determine interoceptive accuracy. Deception detection was assessed across two distinct, ecologically valid tasks: i) a lie detection task in which participants made veracity judgments of genuine and deceptive individuals, and ii) a phishing email detection task to capture online deception detection. Using multilevel logistic regression models, we determined the effect of interoceptive accuracy on lie and phishing detection in younger versus older adults. Results: In older, but not younger, adults greater interoceptive accuracy was associated with better accuracy in both detecting deceptive people and phishing emails. Discussion: Interoceptive accuracy was associated with both lie detection and phishing detection accuracy among older adults. Our findings identify interoceptive accuracy as a potential protective factor for fraud susceptibility, as measured through difficulty detecting deception. These results support interoceptive accuracy as a relevant factor for consideration in interventions targeted at fraud prevention among older adults.
Wealth gaps in post-secondary enrolment in Europe? A comparison across European countries and wealth components

Published: May 2023

Previous studies have established parental wealth as an important dimension for social stratification in education. However, this research is restricted to a small number of countries, effect sizes are hardly comparable across different analyses, and the role of different wealth components remained unclear. The present study compares wealth gaps in education – measured as enrolment in post-secondary education – and the contribution of different wealth components across 14 European countries using the harmonized data of the Household Finance and Consumption Survey. In all analysed countries, substantial wealth gaps in education are found. In all but two countries, these gaps remain net of other dimensions of parental SES. As regards net wealth, large wealth gaps in education in Southern European countries and smaller gaps in Eastern European and most Continental countries are documented. In most countries, real wealth is the driving force behind wealth gaps in post-secondary enrolment. In contrast, there is a positive association between debt and post-secondary enrolment in some countries but a negative association in other countries. Overall, the empirical results highlight the importance of homeownership for education and the dual nature of debt.

Empowering the Marginalized in Tripathi's "Shiva Trilogy": A Foucauldian Perspective
Authors: Bhattarai Krishna Prasad
Published: May 2023

The present paper elucidates the portrayal of some Hindu deities in the literary creations of Amish Tripathi. In The Immortals of Meluha, The Secret of the Nagas, and The Oath of Vyauputras, Tripathi portrays the wretched condition of some Hindu gods and goddesses. The study explores the causes behind the subordination of Hindu deities. Replacing the canonical thinking of highlighting the supernatural qualities of deities, those texts expose the hidden realities behind the marginalization of some Hindu deities like, Ganesh, Kali, Sati, and all the Nagas, whose real identity was lying behind the curtain. The spotlight of the present research is to answer the causes of the subordination of major Hindu deities in Tripathi's "Trilogy." This issue is explored with the theoretical parameter of the Foucauldian perspective of power, knowledge, and resistance.

Nieuregulowany status prawny zawodu logopedy oraz logopedii jako samodzielnej dyscypliny naukowej są przyczyną istotnych różnic w sposobie kształcenia logopedów w Polsce. W celu poznania opinii studentów i absolwentów studiów logopedycznych (pracujących w zawodzie) na temat kształcenia akademickiego przeprowadzono ankietę, w której wzięło udział 87 osób. Przeprowadzenie badania w warunkach sytuacji pandemicznej pozwoliło także na dokonanie oceny zdalnych form nauczania i wykazało dysproporcje w poziomie satysfakcji z zajęć praktycznych i teoretycznych prowadzonych w tej formule. Zgromadzone opinie stanowią podstawę do podjętych w artykule rozważań na temat logopedii oraz możliwych i potrzebnych zmian w systemie kształcenia przyszłych logopedów.
