Authors: Tripathi Ranjeeta , Bathla Gaurav
Published: May 2022

Organizational work stress is a frequent expression for any working personnel in present phraseology. In most of the organization, the main cause of poor work performance seems to be organizational work stress for employees while performing their task. Employees require a variety of inspiration and work stress extenuating strategies to defeat the organizational work pressure. This research is concentrating to investigate the major influences causing the organizational work stress and describes its impacts on work performance of the crew of cruise line industry. There are numerous work-related stresses appearing for any working personnel in day today life like over workload, on job harassment, improper recognition, dis-satisfaction, etc. The research investigates the impact of job stress on employee performance related factors like workload, working hours, monotonous work, over time, discrimination, and harassment on employees (crew member) work performance. A study was done to carried out the organizational work stress and modifying strategies which may be implemented by the cruise ship employees and various cruise line companies to reduce their job stress which can help in improving the work performance. The organizational managers can use the essential methods to rheostat the organizational work stress of cruise ship employees which may enhance their work-related performance.

Published: May 2022

O presente artigo possui o objetivo principal de se abordar acerca da importância das práticas discursivas como relevantes instrumentos no que toca o desenvolvimento e a organização dos cidadãos enquanto sociedade e sobre a (im)possibilidade de se afirmar o discurso como ferramenta no que respeita a mudança e transformação social, ou seja, o discurso como prática social. Para tanto, apresenta-se no estudo uma abordagem sobre o desenvolvimento do discurso no decorrer do tempo, perpassando principalmente por uma análise sobre a obra “A ordem do discurso”, do filósofo e historiador Paul-Michel Foucault, trazendo aos leitores maiores entendimentos sobre a evolução e importância das relações do discurso na sociedade. De igual forma, na medida em que se aprofundará o entendimento do pensador mencionado, necessário trazer aos leitores os entendimentos deste sobre sua concepção acerca da construção histórica do discurso e como a linguagem juntamente com o discurso se moldaram e evoluíram no percurso que a sociedade percorreu durante os séculos.
Televised Election Debates in a Deliberative System
Authors: Turkenburg Emma
Published: May 2022

Are televised election debates (TEDs) a blessing for democracy, educating citizens and informing them of their electoral options? Or should they be viewed as a curse, presenting superficial, manipulating rhetoric in one-way communication? In this article, I evaluate TEDs from a deliberative point of view, focusing on the potential positive and negative outcomes of framing by politicians, as well as on the pros and cons of displaying emotions in debates. I argue that the use of these two rhetorical devices in TEDs is potentially helpful in inspiring deliberation, perspective-taking and subsequent reflection in both politicians and voters. This leads me to conclude that televised election debates should be critically approached as communicative venues with potential deliberative qualities.

A broad and variable lumbosacral myotome map uncovered by foraminal nerve root stimulation
Authors: London Dennis , Birkenfeld Ben , Thomas Joel , Avshalumov Marat , Mogilner Alon Y. , Falowski Steven , Mammis Antonios
Published: May 2022

OBJECTIVE

The human myotome is fundamental to the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. However, this map was largely constructed decades ago, and its breadth, variability, and reliability remain poorly described, limiting its practical use.

METHODS

The authors used a novel method to reconstruct the myotome map in patients (n = 42) undergoing placement of dorsal root ganglion electrodes for the treatment of chronic pain. They electrically stimulated nerve roots (n = 79) in the intervertebral foramina at T12–S1 and measured triggered electromyography responses.

RESULTS

L4 and L5 stimulation resulted in quadriceps muscle (62% and 33% of stimulations, respectively) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscle (25% and 67%, respectively) activation, while S1 stimulation resulted in gastrocnemius muscle activation (46%). However, L5 and S1 both resulted in abductor hallucis (AH) muscle activation (17% and 31%), L5 stimulation resulted in gastrocnemius muscle stimulation (42%), and S1 stimulation in TA muscle activation (38%). The authors also mapped the breadth of the myotome in individual patients, finding coactivation of adductor and quadriceps, quadriceps and TA, and TA and gastrocnemius muscles under L3, L4, and both L5 and S1 stimulation, respectively. While the AH muscle was commonly activated by S1 stimulation, this rarely occurred together with TA or gastrocnemius muscle activation. Other less common coactivations were also observed throughout T12–S1 stimulation.

CONCLUSIONS

The muscular innervation of the lumbosacral nerve roots varies significantly from the classic myotome map and between patients. Furthermore, in individual patients, each nerve root may innervate a broader range of muscles than is commonly assumed. This finding is important to prevent misdiagnosis of radicular pathologies.
Analysis of combined clinical and diffusion basis spectrum imaging metrics to predict the outcome of chronic cervical spondylotic myelopathy following cervical decompression surgery

Published: May 2022

OBJECTIVE

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is the most common cause of chronic spinal cord injury, a significant public health problem. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a neuroimaging technique widely used to assess CNS tissue pathology and is increasingly used in CSM. However, DTI lacks the needed accuracy, precision, and recall to image pathologies of spinal cord injury as the disease progresses. Thus, the authors used diffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI) to delineate white matter injury more accurately in the setting of spinal cord compression. It was hypothesized that the profiles of multiple DBSI metrics can serve as imaging outcome predictors to accurately predict a patient’s response to therapy and his or her long-term prognosis. This hypothesis was tested by using DBSI metrics as input features in a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm.

METHODS

Fifty patients with CSM and 20 healthy controls were recruited to receive diffusion-weighted MRI examinations. All spinal cord white matter was identified as the region of interest (ROI). DBSI and DTI metrics were extracted from all voxels in the ROI and the median value of each patient was used in analyses. An SVM with optimized hyperparameters was trained using clinical and imaging metrics separately and collectively to predict patient outcomes. Patient outcomes were determined by calculating changes between pre- and postoperative modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) scale scores.

RESULTS

Accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score were reported for each SVM iteration. The highest performance was observed when a combination of clinical and DBSI metrics was used to train an SVM. When assessing patient outcomes using mJOA scale scores, the SVM trained with clinical and DBSI metrics achieved accuracy and an area under the curve of 88.1% and 0.95, compared with 66.7% and 0.65, respectively, when clinical and DTI metrics were used together.

CONCLUSIONS

The accuracy and efficacy of the SVM incorporating clinical and DBSI metrics show promise for clinical applications in predicting patient outcomes. These results suggest that DBSI metrics, along with the clinical presentation, could serve as a surrogate in prognosticating outcomes of patients with CSM.
Does board gender diversity play significant role in determining firm performance?
Authors: Pavić Kramarić Tomislava , Miletić Marko
Published: May 2022

The aim of this research is to analyse whether the board gender diversity plays vital part in explaining firm performance. The research is performed using static panel analysis using the sample of Croatian largest manufacturers that operated in the 2015 – 2019 period. In order to conduct such analysis several variables relating to board characteristics are employed in the research including proportion of women in the boardroom, dummy variable whether a female is present on the board, Blau index and size of the board. Furthermore, a set of firm-specific, industry oriented and macroeconomic variables are encompassed by the analysis as well comprising of size, liquidity, leverage, inventory management, capital intensity, market structure expressed with concentration ratio and GDP real growth rate. In order to obtain more robust results, three performance measures are introduced ROA, ROS and NPM. The findings reveal that size, liquidity, leverage, inventory management, capital intensity and concentration of the industry play an important role in determining firm profitability whereas we have not found support for greater gender diversity in the boardroom in terms of superior performance. Similar results are also provided with robustness check. The paper contributes to the scientific thought in a way that it adds to the scarce empirical evidence on gender diversity in manufacturing industry in general and particularly in Croatian context.
Botanical characteristics, toxicity and control of
bracken fern (pteridium aquilinum (l.) kuhn)
Authors: Štefanić Edita , Japundžić-Palenkić Božica , Antunović Slavica , Gantner Vesna , Zima Dinko
Published: May 2022

Bracken (Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn) is cosmopolitan fern, found at varying altitudes on all continents except Antarctica. It is an aggressive colonizer and can appear in various plant communities, but an important characteristic is its ability to dominate in dense patches. Once establish, the deep-set rhizomes are nearly impossible to eradicate. In Croatia, bracken dominate on specific habitat type called “bujadnice” in Lika region, but can also be found in herbaceous layers in following forest communities: As. Betulo-Quercetum; As. Pteridio-Betuletum; As. Potentillo albae-Quercetum pubescentis; As. Castaneo sativae-Fagetum; As. Helleboro nigri-Piceetum. Bracken fern is significant problem for livestock-based extensive agriculture, because it causes a range of syndromes in farm animals including thiamine deficiency, acute hemorrhagic syndrome, bright blindness, enzootic hematuria and upper alimentary carcinoma. Man may consume the toxins of bracken either directly or indirectly. In terms of the economic loss and suffering caused by bracken, it is clearly that some steps must be taken to control distribution of this fern. Timing is important in any management treatment of bracken fern. The most effective time for bracken control is summer just after the new fronds have fully expanded and starch reserves in the rhizome are at their lowest level. Two or more annual treatments and combinations of cutting and herbicide are more effective than single treatments or even single annual treatments.

Thrips parvispinus is a pest of large chili plants Capsicum Annuum. This study aimed to determine the effect of spacing on the population and the percentage of T. parvispinus attacks on large chili C. annuum in Kintamani, Bangli Regency, Bali. This research has been conducting on farmer's land in Sekaan Village, Kintamani District, Bangli Regency, Bali from March to May 2021. This study used a randomized block design (RAK) method, with three treatment levels and five replications. The number of plants observed in each plot was ten plant clumps using a systematic sampling method (diagonal system). The results showed differences in the number of T. parvispinus pests on large chili plants in each treatment, there was an apparent difference between the spacing treatment one (1) and the spacing treatment two (2), but the spacing treatment two (2) was not significantly different from treatment three (3). The results showed that the percentage of T. parvispinus attack on spacing treatment one (1) was higher than treatment spacing two (2) and three (3) from observation one to observation six. The relationship between harvest yields and the percentage of T. parvispinus pest attacks showed differences in harvest weight. The spacing treatment one (1) has a smaller harvest weight than the spacing treatment two (2) and three (3). So the proper spacing for large chili C. annuum is the spacing treatment two and three.
Investigating the Resilience of Accessibility to Emergency and Lifesaving Facilities under Natural Hazards
Authors:   California State University, Fresno, Wang Chih-Hao , Chen Na ,   Sun Yat-sen University
Published: May 2022

Studying accessibility, including the resilience of city transportation networks, is critical to understand how these networks influence individuals’ mobility and lives. This study developed an analytical research framework to examine the resilience of accessibility to emergency and lifesaving facilities under the threats of natural hazards such as earthquakes and wildfires. With a cumulative-opportunity approach, the authors measured accessibility by counting emergency and lifesaving facilities (including parks, schools, hospitals, roads, and fire stations) that can be reached by driving at the census tract level in San Fernando Valley, CA. With the calculated accessibility, the authors run simulations to collect data showing what would happen if an area were affected by a selected disaster. They then used statistical analysis to identify those areas where accessibility is significantly reduced compared to the original status. A normalized difference accessibility index (NDAI) was further created to suggest plans and strategies to help those vulnerable areas through adding facilities/services or improving transportation infrastructure.
Quaternion keyed Least Square Approximation for image encryption
Authors: Kalaiarasan D. , Ahilan A.
Published: May 2022

Securing image data from prying hackers is crucial in safeguarding the secrecy of data. Over the years, this was done by encrypting the image using an algorithm and a key, where the visible image was converted into a meaningless object. It is a difficult problem to design an image encryption technique based on chaotic systems with predictable cryptographic features. In this paper, the Quaternion, along with the Rossler attractor, was used to generate the key combination. The ciphering was done using the Least Square Approximation Algorithm (LSA). The algorithm was tested on a grayscale image database. The algorithm was initially tested in software using MATLAB R2018b, and was implemented in the Cyclone II EP2C35F672C6 device FPGA. On average, for a cipher image, the Peak Signal to Noise ratio (PSNR) was 9.09303 dB and the entropy was 7.9990 bits. For the cipher image, the Number of Pixels Change Rate (NPCR) and Unified Average Change Intensity (UACI) were 99.6039 and 33.4980, respectively. This proved that the algorithm could effectively mitigate the statistical and differential attacks. The key space was 2 (M ×N ×7 ×8), which was sufficiently high and mitigated the brute force attacks. The obtained results confirm that the cipher images resulting from the proposed ciphering scheme possess good cryptographic properties in terms of entropy, PSNR, UACI, NPCR, and keyspace analysis. Furthermore, the strength of the key is evaluated by the NIST test suite.
Simulation study on optimization of system dynamics financing for Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises: A dual-cycle perspective
Authors: Ming-Hui Liao , Ge You , Yuchen Wei
Published: May 2022

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have been suffering from the problem of “difficult and expensive financing.” The few loans available are allocated unevenly to SMEs, resulting in a financing mismatch. To address this problem, this paper constructs a system dynamics model to simulate and calculate the theoretical loan amounts of SMEs. Compares the values between the theoretical and actual loan amount to find out the enterprises with extreme values of the difference. Then, it analyzes the characteristics of the index data of these enterprises to explore feasible solutions to solve the financing mismatch problem. The CRITIC and AHP weight determination methods will be used to calculate weights and screen indicators. The data will be quantified and calculated according to the standardized scoring table of enterprise borrowing factor indicators. The results show that enterprises with actual borrowing amounts higher than the theoretical borrowing amount perform better than other sample enterprises in three indicators: growth rate of primary business income, the upper limit of the loan amount, and subsidy amount. The actual loan amount can be increased by improving these indicators. This research can help solve the problem of financing mismatch to realize effective resource allocation and provide significant guidance for the research on enterprises to obtain more loans.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the musculoskeletal disorders experienced by teachers, and to evaluate their relationship with certain factors causing musculoskeletal disorders. METHODS: The cross-sectional study was carried out on 416 teachers working in a provincial center using the face-to-face interview method. RESULTS: Per this 64.9% of the teachers had musculoskeletal disorders, and the pain was mostly localized in the neck region with 55.5%. The work stress scores of the teachers were found to have a positive and significant correlation with musculoskeletal disorder scores and a negative significant correlation with the satisfaction with life scores (p≤0.001). In multiple regression analysis, the time spent sitting at a desk, time spent working in a standing position, time devoted to housework, shoe preference, work stress and life satisfaction were determined as effective predictors on musculoskeletal complaints. The model that was developed explained 22.5% of the variance (R2 = 22.5; p≤0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Due to the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among teachers, health-promoting actions are needed in order to raise the awareness of both administrators and teachers in improving working conditions as well as preventing musculoskeletal disorders.

BACKGROUND: Despite the prevalence of publications focusing on the trends of the studies on ergonomics, the information of the aging focused studies within these publications is limited. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to provide general information regarding the trends of the studies on ergonomics and aging by using bibliometric analysis techniques and to provide a general view regarding to the development of this field. METHODS: The bibliometric data of the publications on ergonomics and aging were retrieved from the WOS Database and analysed by using the Bibliometrix extension of the R Packet Programme. For the visualisation of the bibliometric data, the Vosviewer programme was used. RESULTS: Analysis results of the 405 papers published between the years of 1979 and 2020 show that main themes were digital human modelling, design for all, workplace ergonomics, transport and vehicle design, kitchen design, human factors, care and vision in old age. CONCLUSIONS: The content of the studies on ergonomics and aging changed from basic elements of ergonomic design for older people to the investigations about computer-aided applications and the effect of the developing technology. Therefore, it can be said that the studies on ergonomics and aging are changing parallel to the development of the technology.
Ergonomic and psychosocial risk factors for low back pain among rice farmers in West Bengal, India
Authors: Das Banibrata
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: Rice farming is considered the most crucial industry in India, where millions of farmers suffer from LBP. OBJECTIVES: The present study’s primary objectives were to evaluate the prevalence of low back pain among India’s rice farmers and determine the relationship between low back pain and ergonomic risk factors and psychosocial factors encountered by the farmers. METHODS: Socio-demographics, ergonomics risk factors and psychosocial factors that cause LBP among rice farmers were examined. Modified Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and Oswestry LBP Questionnaire were administered among the farmers to evaluate the LBP. Univariate analysis was done to find out the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals among the farmers. RESULTS: The primary findings from this study regarding the psychosocial factors, such as perceived inadequacy of income (84.7%), job demands (78.1%), work demand targets specific productivity (76.5%), rigidity in work methods (75.3%), monotony at work (73.2 %), have a relationship with LBP. The results also revealed that the relationship between the low back pain and ergonomic risk factors, such as repetitiveness (OR- 4.215; 95% CI- 2.551–6.965), working in awkward posture (OR- 85.82; 95% CI- 43.134–170.77), lifting loads (OR- 0.281; 95% CI- 0.125–0.324), pulling loads (OR- 0.274; 95% CI- 0.173–0.434), showed significant relationship with LBP in the univariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of LBP among rice farmers connected with ergonomic and psychosocial risk factors. The awkward posture, MMH (lifting and carrying) are the main causative factors of LBP.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of knowledge and awareness of healthcare practitioners regarding infection control. OBJECTIVE: To explore Jordanian physiotherapists’ knowledge and perception of COVID-19, awareness about protection measures, and attitude towards infection prevention. METHODS: A cross-sectional online survey was used. Data were collected from licensed physiotherapists currently living in Jordan. A structured survey was used to collect the data consisting of five parts: 1) General information about the physiotherapists including sociodemographic, academic training, and employment setting, 2) General knowledge about COVID-19, 3) Infection protection in the workplace, 4) Perception of COVID-19, and 5) Attitude towards COVID-19 in daily life and during work. RESULTS: A total of 147 physiotherapists completed the survey with a mean age of 30.56 (7.70) and years of experience of 7.28 (7.21). The mean of the total knowledge score was 17.18 (2.32)/ 26. There was a significant difference in the total knowledge score between COVID-19 trained physiotherapists and untrained (t = 2.895, p = 0.004). About 70.8% of the physiotherapists perceived COVID-19 as a very dangerous disease, 69.4% considered physiotherapy a high-risk profession, and 41% perceived COVID-19 does not require any special treatment. Approximately 85% of physiotherapists avoided going to crowded places and wore a mask when leaving home. 75–86.6% of physiotherapists would consider appropriate protective measures during their work. CONCLUSIONS: Physiotherapists showed suboptimal knowledge, perception, and attitude towards COVID-19. There is a need for training courses to increase physiotherapists’ knowledge about COVID-19 and improve their perception and attitude towards COVID-19.
