Clinical trials registry is an official platform for registering a clinical trial. Trial registration refers to the publication of a set of information regarding the methods, conduct, and administration of clinical trials. Any researcher who plans to conduct a trial involving human participants can register the trial in the registry. Researchers can register their trials at any trial registry which conforms to standards of World Health Organisation (WHO). Clinical trial registration fulfills ethical obligations to participants and the research community. Registering a trial at the registry is considered as an ethical step towards the enhanced visibility, greater transparency, and accountability in undertaking clinical research.
Gen-Z's consumption behaviours in post-pandemic tourism sector
Authors: UYSAL Davut
Published: May 2022

Tourism is a dynamic system, and it has grown to a modern form from a conventional form in time. Many alternative products have emerged in the sector and the profile of tourism consumers has also changed in line with the change in the sector. In time, marketers have started to adopt a generational marketing approach more than an age-based marketing approach. This study examined the decision-making processes Generation Z used when deciding on a travel product, comparing their behaviours with those of Generation X and Y as the former generations of Gen Z, based on the stages of Cohen's (1972) Theory of Tourist Behavior; “initiation”, “information search”, “assessment”, “final decision”, “during travel” and “post-travel”. For this purpose, two research questions were developed exploring the consumption behaviors of Generation Z and comparing the findings of Gen Z with those of Gen X and Y. The quantitative method was used to collect the research data and an online survey was adapted from Husein et.al (2017) and administered to Gen X, Y and Z in Turkey through the convenience sampling method. 2084 participants completed the delivered survey (N for Gen X= 723, N for Y= 710 and N for Gen Z=651). Frequency analysis was performed on the data and the findings were interpreted accordingly. It was found that Gen Z differed from both Gen X and Gen Y in the examined parameters revealing a transformation from traditional tourist behaviour to modern tourist behaviour and relevant conclusions such as multi-generational marketing were drawn for more effective marketing of tourism products in the post-pandemic period.

Published: May 2022

The spread of COVID-19 has been taken on pandemic magnitudes and has already spread over 200 countries in a few months. In this time of emergency of COVID-19, especially when there is still a need to follow the precautions and developed vaccines are not available to all the developing countries in the first phase of vaccine distribution, the virus is spreading rapidly through direct and indirect contacts. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides the standard recommendations on preventing the spread of COVID-19 and the importance of face masks for protection from the virus. The excessive use of manual disinfection systems has also become a source of infection. That is why this research aims to design and develop a low-cost, rapid, scalable, and effective virus spread control and screening system to minimize the chances and risk of spread of COVID-19.We proposed an IoT-based Smart Screening and Disinfection Walk-through Gate (SSDWG) for all public places entrance. The SSDWG is designed to do rapid screening, including temperature measuring using a contact-free sensor and storing the record of the suspected individual for further control and monitoring. Our proposed IoT-based screening system also implemented real-time deep learning models for face mask detection and classification. This module classified individuals who wear the face mask properly, improperly, and without a face mask using VGG-16, MobileNetV2, Inception v3, ResNet-50, and CNN using a transfer learning approach. We achieved the highest accuracy of 99.81mask detection and classification module. We also implemented classification to classify the types of face masks worn by the individuals, either N-95 or surgical masks. We also compared the results of our proposed system with state-of-the-art methods, and we highly suggested that our system could be used to prevent the spread of local transmission.

Published: May 2022

The electrocoagulation (EC) process is an electrochemical means of introducing coagulants and removing suspended solids, colloidal material, and metals, as well as other dissolved solids from water and wastewaters. The EC process has been successfully employed in removing pollutants, pesticides, and radionuclides. This process also removes harmful microorganisms. More often during EC operation, direct current is applied and electrode plates are sacrificed (dissolved into solution). The dissolution causes an increased metal concentration in the solution that finally precipitates as oxide precipitates. Due to improved process design and material of construction, the EC process is being widely accepted over other physicochemical processes.

Every year many human beings lose their lives because of fatal road injuries round the arena and drowsy driving is one of the number one causes of avenue accidents and demise. Fatigue and micro sleep at the using controls are often the basis reasons of significant injuries. But preliminary signs of fatigue may be detected earlier than a vital scenario arises and therefore, detection of driving force’s fatigue and its indication is an ongoing research subject matter. Most of the conventional strategies to hit upon drowsiness are based on behavioral aspects while some are intrusive and might distract drivers, at the same time as some require costly sensors. Therefore, the development of a lightweight as well as affordable driver’s drowsiness detection system has become necessary. The major aim of this project is to develop a drowsiness detection system by monitoring face features. It is believed that the symptoms of driver fatigue can be detected early enough to avoid a car accident. In such a case when drowsiness is detected, a warning signal is issued to alert the driver. This detection system provides a noncontact technique for judging different levels of driver alertness. The implemented system records the video and detects the driver’s face in every frame by employing image processing techniques and sends a warning message to the driver about his/her improper driving and raises the alarm (in case of drowsiness). Machine learning algorithms (like SVM and YOLOV5) have been employed to test the efficacy of the carried-out technique. Due to the COVID pandemic, usage of the mask is mandatory. So, the application also includes face mask detection which means this application can keep track of whether the driver is wearing a mask or not. Driver’s drowsiness can be detected using different gestures and postures such as yawning. So, the whole system is comprised to detect driver’s drowsiness as well as mask usage.

Introduction: Given the attention that well-being has received worldwide as being a crucial aspect of the overall health of individuals, its measurement has become increasingly important. Thus, the need for validation of brief and integrative instruments that assess the levels of well-being in the population has emerged. Objective: Contribute to the cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the Pemberton Happiness Index (PHI) for the Portuguese population. Material and Methods: The study was carried out using a convenience sample of 1,728 individuals whose responses were collected online and by paper. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct, content, and criterion validity were analysed. Results: The sample consisted mainly of women (n = 1,185), with a mean age of 20.04 ± 20.38 years. The internal consistency of the PHI was very good (α = 0.90), as well as test-retest realibility, with r = 0.79 and p ≤ 0.01 for the correlation between totals and with values ranging from [0.20, 0.46] in Section A and [-0.05, 0.69] in Section B. In the construct validity, only Item 10 of Section A presented values lower than the standard values, which puts into question the validity of this item. Criterion validity had a high correlation (r = 0.75; p ≤ 0.01) when compared to the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS). Conclusion: Considering the good psychometric properties obtained in this study, this instrument can contribute to advancing the complex task of measuring well-being, as well as monitoring and assessing changes at these levels.

Published: May 2022

Retaining employees in organizations has always been one of the greatest challenges for many businesses and organizations, hence, the need to look at the role career development plays in retaining employees in the civil service of Anambra State. This study specifically examined the relationship between career capabilities and employee embeddedness and the nexus between career experience and employee embeddedness in the civil service in Anambra State, Nigeria. The work was anchored on George Elton Mayo's Human Relations Theory. A survey research design was deployed for the work, with a population of 1108 civil servants working across the three senatorial zones of Anambra state. The sample size of the study was 286 arrived at by deploying the use of Krejcie and Morgan's 1970 sample size determination formula. The data collected were analyzed using simple regression analysis and hypotheses tested at a 5% level of significance, signifying a 95% confidence level. Findings revealed that a 95% relationship exists between career capabilities and employee embeddedness, while career capabilities had a 90% influence on employee embeddedness in the civil service of Anambra State. Similarly, a 97% nexus exists between career experience and employee embeddedness, while a 95% change in employee embeddedness was accounted for by changes in the career experience of employees in civil service of Anambra State. Sequel to this, it was concluded that career development is a huge determining factor for predicting employees embeddedness. Following this, among others, it was recommended that the civil service in Anambra State needs to improve the capabilities of employees by training and developing them as it is seen that the more capable an employee is at executing his/her duties, the more the employee will embedded to the organization.

VIOLENCE AND HARASSMENT MANAGEMENT: TOWARDS A WORKPLACE POLICY ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN NIGERIA
Authors: Ugwuzor Miebi
Published: May 2022

This paper focused on the consequential implications of the violence and harassments employees faced within the home front with a view to emphasizing the need for workplace policies to manage domestic violence. Firms may usually strive to make employees comfortable at work in order to bring out the best of their work behaviors so as to meet or even surpass industry standards and boost firms’ chances in competitiveness.  However, the discomforts employees experience outside the workplace are brought into the workplace which may adversely affect their work behaviors and jeopardize all firms’ efforts at achieving success. It is apparent that employees would prefer to manage in silence their private concerns and firms themselves seem averse to interfering in the private lives of their employees. Nevertheless, this paper contributes to unique dimensions of the study discourse on occupational health and safety management as well as corporate philanthropy. The reliance on the Centeredness Theory and the Theory of Collective Empathy to underscore the need for firms to be interested in the distress experienced by employees within and outside the workplace made this possible.  This Paper suggested open communication and social orientation, amongst others, as strategic workplace solutions to the menace of domestic violence from which specific workplace policies could be drawn.

Pre-Surgical Screening Tools and Risk Factors for Chronic Post-Surgical Pain
Authors: Hui Daphne , Loshak Hannah
Published: May 2022

This report provides an overview of evidence regarding evidence-based risk factors and pre-surgical screening tools or assessments that may help identify individuals at risk for developing chronic post-surgical pain. This is not a systematic review and a formal critical appraisal was not performed.

Our review identified 19 evidence-based risk factors for chronic post-surgical pain from published systematic reviews.

The most commonly reported chronic post-surgical pain risk factors were anxiety (7 studies), catastrophizing (pain or general) (catastrophizing is the tendency to exaggerate a situation in a negative manner [e.g., imagine the worst possible outcome]) (6 studies); depression (5 studies); and psychological distress (non-specific symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress), kinesiophobia (fear of movement), and age (3 studies each). These risk factors were reported among various surgical procedures (e.g., mixed surgery types, total knee and hip replacements, spine surgery) and age populations (adult, pediatric, adult plus pediatric).

Definitive conclusions cannot be made regarding particular risk factors and their association with chronic post-surgical pain. The evidence was either mixed and/or associated with limitations in the methodology of the study and unclear whether the results may apply in groups other than those included in the studies.

Our review identified 11 pre-surgical screening tools or assessments that were studied for their ability to predict chronic post-surgical pain. These included various quantitative sensory testing measures (e.g., mechanical, heat or cold, electrical), validated scales of other conditions, and screening tools.

Four of the identified screening tools or assessments were found to predict chronic post-surgical pain but their it is unknown whether they can be applied to broader clinical practice (i.e., various surgery types among different age groups). These were only investigated in 1 study among specific populations.

These 4 tools or assessments included a pain threshold evaluation performed with a sphygmomanometer (blood pressure monitor comprised of an inflatable cuff) in adults who underwent total knee replacement; the modified Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia with 13-items (i.e., only the positively scored items) in pediatric patients who underwent orthopedic or general surgery; the Presurgical Psychological Screening algorithm in adults who underwent spine surgery; and the Pediatric Pain Screening tool in pediatric patients who underwent major musculoskeletal surgery.

The remaining screening tools or assessments that were identified reported either mixed findings or no association with chronic post-surgical pain in various surgical populations.

Definitive conclusions cannot be made for the use of pre-surgical screening tools or assessments to identify risk of developing chronic post-surgical pain.
Multiple Imbibition of a Porous Medium in Microgravity: Experiments and Simulation
Authors: Смирнов Н. Н. , Никитин В. Ф. , Скрылева Е. И. , Вайсман Ю. Г.
Published: May 2022

В работе рассматривается процесс многократной пропитки пористой среды за счет капиллярных сил в условиях микрогравитации. Подобные исследования имеют большое значения как для космических технологий, так и для земных приложений. Например, на космической станции течение жидкости за счет капиллярных эффектов можно наблюдать в тепловых трубках, очистных системах, в гидропонных системах для выращивания растений. В условиях земной гравитации капиллярные эффекты могут также оказывать существенное влияние на фильтрационные течения, например при добыче углеводородов, когда происходит одновременное течение нескольких флюидов сквозь порисую среду.Наблюдение капиллярных эффектов при обычной гравитации затруднено, так как действие силы тяжести преобладает над капиллярными силами, маскируя некоторые важные аспекты. В данной работе рассматриваются эксперименты по течению жидкости сквозь высокопроницаемую пористую среду во время параболических полетов. Результаты экспериментов показали, что с каждой последующей параболой жидкость поднимается выше, т.е. наблюдается более интенсивная пропитка в уже смоченной среде. Для моделирования таких процессов требуются специальные математические модели, учитывающие гистерезис. В статье описаны такие модели и представлены результаты численного моделирования на их основе. Приведено сравнение экспериментальных данных и результатов численного моделирования фильтрационных потоков жидкости, показана возможность определения неизвестных эмпирических констант на экспериментальном базисе.

The paper considers multiple successive imbibitions of a porous medium due to capillary forces in microgravity. Such studies are of great importance both for space and Earth technologies. For example, on space stations liquid flows due to capillary effects can be observed in heat pipes, purification systems, and hydroponic plant growing systems growing plants. Under the Earth’s gravity, capillary phenomena significantly affect seepage flows (e.g., in hydrocarbon production) when several fluids flow simultaneously through a porous medium.Observing capillary effects under normal gravity is difficult because gravity dominates over capillary forces, masking some key aspects. This paper discusses experimental studies of liquid flows through a highly permeable porous medium during parabolic flights. The results show that with each subsequent parabola arc, the liquid rises higher, i.e. there is more intensive imbibition in the already wetted medium. To simulate such processes, special models are required to consider hysteresis. The paper covers such models and presents the simulation results. The experimental data and simulation of seepage fluid flows are compared. Unknown empirical constants can be estimated experimentally.

Для модели неидеальной магнитной гидродинамики в рамках метода контрольного объема рассматривается вариант схемы дискретизации уравнения индукции магнитного поля. Для дискретизации уравнения индукции используется алгоритм ограниченного переноса, обеспечивающий соленоидальность численного решения. Приводится подробный вывод дискретного аналога уравнения индукции в произвольных ортогональных криволинейных координатах для смещённых структурированных расчетных сеток. Конвективные потоки в уравнении индукции аппроксимируются по противопоточной схеме с квадратичной интерполяцией с использованием метода отложенной коррекции.

A discretization scheme of the magnetic field induction equation is considered for the model of nonideal magnetic hydrodynamics within the framework of the control volume method. A constrained transfer algorithm is used to discretize the induction equation, which provides a solenoidal numerical solution. A detailed elaboration of the discrete analog of the induction equation in arbitrary orthogonal curvilinear coordinates for staggered structured computational grids is presented. The convective flows in the induction equation are approximated with the counterflow scheme using quadratic interpolation and the deferred correction method.

Sosiaali- ja terveysministeriö on yhdessä Kuntaliiton kanssa antanut laatusuosituksia iäkkäiden palveluiden järjestämiseksi vuodesta 2001 lähtien. Suosituksilla on pyritty turvaamaan eettisesti ja yhteiskunnallisesti hyväksyttävä hoivapalveluiden tuotanto ja samalla vaikuttamaan julkisen talouden kestävyyteen. Artikkeli tutkii sitä, mitä tämä ”sosiaalisen ja taloudellisen kestävyyden” yhteensovittaminen käytännössä tarkoittaa. Artikkeli analysoi laatusuosituksia vuosilta 2001–2020 julkisen oikeuttamisen analyysimenetelmän avulla ja osoittaa, kuinka suositukset rakentavat ja yhteensovittavat kahta erilaista hoivapalveluiden järjestämistä ohjaavaa eetosta. Yhtäältä suosituksissa rakennetaan hyvinvoinnin eetosta eli kunnioitetaan ajatusta hoivasta universaalina perusoikeutena ja määritellään iäkäs aktiiviseksi ja osallistuvaksi kansalaiseksi. Toisaalta suosituksissa rakennetaan selviytymisen eetosta. Se määrittelee hoivan kulutushyödykkeeksi ja iäkkäät kotonaan teknologian avulla terveesti ikääntyviksi asiakas-yrittäjiksi, jotka kantavat vastuuta sekä omasta terveydestään että julkisen talouden kestävyydestä. Vastuun uusjako myös muotoilee hoivan poliittista taloutta uusiksi. Suosituksissa hoivapalveluiden käyttäjä on yhä vahvemmin myös niiden tuottaja. Hoivan markkinaistaminen näkyy selkeästi hoivapalveluiden järjestämistä ohjaavissa suosituksissa. Tämän seurauksena suosituksilla on ongelmia tunnistaa iäkäs vaivaisena.
O PRINCÍPIO DA INSIGNIFICÂNCIA NOS DELITOS CONTRA A ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA NO ORDENAMENTO JURÍDICO BRASILEIRO
Authors: Rodrigues Eduarda Aparecida Faria , Santiago Ludmila Karem da Silva
Published: May 2022

O presente trabalho de conclusão de curso busca analisar se é possível a aplicação do princípio penal da insignificância nos crimes contra a Administração Pública. Verifica-se que tal princípio não está consagrado na Constituição Federal ou na legislação penal, cabendo, portanto, aos tribunais superiores e doutrina quanto a sua aplicabilidade ou não. O Princípio da Insignificância, também conhecido   como princípio da bagatela, vem sendo aplicado para excluir a tipicidade de condutas consideradas irrelevantes, são condutas tão ínfimas que, sequer merecem a aplicação de pena. Realizou-se pesquisas em jurisprudências e doutrinas, com o objetivo de entender o atual posicionamento do Superior Tribunal de Justiça e Supremo Tribunal Federal sobre o tema. Uma vez que não há entendimento pacífico sobre o assunto. O STJ, não reconhece a aplicação do princípio quando se trata de crimes contra administração pública, com o intuito de resguardar a moralidade administrativa. Já STF, vem reconhecendo em suas jurisprudências a possibilidade de aplicação do princípio da insignificância nos crimes funcionais. Nesse sentido, serão analisados ​​os argumentos apresentados por ambos os tribunais sobre o tema, para demonstrar se é possível a aplicabilidade do princípio, como e quando acontece, ou se realmente é inaplicável, quando se trata dos crimes contra a administração pública.

The article presents the results of observation of a group of servicemen (n = 25) in the process of undergoing compulsory military service, who were being treated in the hospital department of a medical company for respiratory diseases during the period of convalescence. To improve the differential diagnosis of hair loss in males aged 18 to 27 years, the relationship between colds and telogen hair loss was studied in this contingent (main group). A comparative analysis of the data obtained from the main group of servicemen undergoing treatment in a hospital department of a medical company with respiratory diseases and a control group of healthy servicemen of draft age (n = 25) showed that even with a mild course of the underlying disease, an accelerated transition of the anagen phase of hair growth can be observed. to telogen.

Purpose: to determine the features of the symptomatology of coronavirus infection depending on gender and age criteria. Material. The study involved 103 people who were inpatient treatment at the «4th city clinical hospital», Minsk. All patients were diagnosed with ««Coronavirus infection» by the polymerase chain reaction method. Results. General symptoms of COVID-19 were detected in all examined patients, otorhinolaryngological manifestations - in 77.7% of the respondents, impaired odor perception was detected in 46.6%, impaired taste perception - in 37.9%. Revealed a pattern in the manifestations of COVID-19 among men and women. General complaints were either more often reported by men, or the frequency of complaints did not depend on gender. Local manifestations of the disease (complaints about the state of the gastrointestinal tract, ENT organs, impaired perception of smell and taste) more often worried women. The age aspect also influenced the symptomatology of COVID-19 infection: from the stage of young age (18-44 years) to the stage of middle age (45-59 years) for most of the symptoms of the disease, an increase in the detection rate was revealed. From the stage of middle age (45-59 years) to the stage of advanced age (60-74 years), 14 symptoms of the disease showed a decrease in their detection frequency. From the stage of advanced age (60-74 years) to the stage of senile age (75-90 years), 10 symptoms of the disease showed an increase in their detection frequency, and 5 - a decrease. For such symptoms as impaired sense of smell, impaired taste, wet cough, the differences in the frequency of detection in age groups were statistically significant. Conclusion. The symptomatology of COVID-19 differs significantly depending on the sex and age of the patients.

Ageism is a type of age discrimination among the elderly population. The article presents the results of a study of the manifestations of ageism among 1st and 4th year students of the medical faculty of the Educational Institution "Belarusian State Medical University". It is shown that students recognize the problem of age discrimination among the elderly in society. The index of the urgency of the problem of ageism for medical students was 42.1. Among the fourth-year students, in comparison with the first-year students, there are fewer respondents who are optimistic about their own old age, but there are more of those who are able to actively avoid old age. The prevalence of gerontological stereotypes among medical students is high. Stereotypes change in the learning process of the respondents, but they do not disappear. The respondents believe that the most important reasons for the emergence of ageism are not only gerontological stereotypes, but also the unwillingness to communicate with the elderly because of their own fear of old age or the psychological difficulty of communicating with the elderly. Medical students treat the elderly well and characterize them with positive epithets. The tendency of students of a medical university to unintentional ageism was revealed.
ALCOHOLIC ADDICTION: THE SPATIAL-TIME ASPECT. PART 2. VIOLATIONS OF THE SPATIAL-TEMPORAL MODEL OF ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE IN THE PROCESS OF PATHOGENESIS
Authors:   Belarusian State University, T.I. Tsiatserkina , V.U. Korsak ,   Belarusian State University
Published: May 2022

The authors have shown that the basis of the pathogenesis of an alcohol dependence is the progressive deepening of the dissociation of the temporary spiral, considered as the engine of the entire spatial-temporal model of man, with an increasing substitution of its energetic work by introducing an energy substance to the human body, which is alcohol. This sequential process is developing in accordance with the laws of the formation of functional and structural disorders of the temporary spiral, respectively the stages of the disorder formation. The markers of degree and nature of dissociation in alcohol-dependent people are amnesia for events associated with an alcoholic excess, the severity of impaired consciousness, gravity of somatic disorders with appropriate clinical manifestations.

Abstract. This study demonstrates the ability of large-eddy simulation (LES) forced by a large-scale model to reproduce plume dispersion in an actual field campaign. Our aim is to bring together field observations taken under non-ideal conditions and LES to show that this combination can help to derive point-source strengths from sparse observations. We analyze results from a single-day case study based on data collected near an oil well during the ROMEO campaign (ROmanian Methane Emissions from Oil and gas) that took place in October 2019. We set up our LES using boundary conditions derived from the meteorological reanalysis ERA5 and released a point source in line with the configuration in the field. The weather conditions produced by the LES show close agreement with field observations, although the observed wind field showed complex features due to the absence of synoptic forcing. In order to align the plume direction with field observations, we created a second simulation experiment with manipulated wind fields that better resemble the observations. Using these LESs, the estimated source strengths agree well with the emitted artificial tracer gas plume, indicating the suitability of LES to infer source strengths from observations under complex conditions. To further harvest the added value of LES, higher-order statistical moments of the simulated plume were analyzed. Here, we found good agreement with plumes from previous LES and laboratory experiments in channel flows. We derived a length scale of plume mixing from the boundary layer height, the mean wind speed and convective velocity scale. It was demonstrated that this length scale represents the distance from the source at which the predominant plume behavior transfers from meandering dispersion to relative dispersion.
DFN Generator v2.0: A new tool to model the growth of large-scale natural fracture networks using fundamental geomechanics
Authors: Welch Michael John , Lüthje Mikael , Oldfield Simon John
Published: May 2022

Abstract. In this paper we present a new code to build geologically realistic models of natural fracture networks in geological formations, by simulating the processes of fracture nucleation, growth and interaction, based on geomechanical principles and the geological history of the formation. This code implements the fracture modelling algorithm described in Welch et al. (2020), developed to generate more accurate, better constrained models of large fracture networks than current stochastic techniques. It can efficiently build either implicit fracture models, explicit DFNs, or both, across large (km-scale) geological structures such as folds, major faults or salt diapirs. It will thus have applications in engineering and fluid flow modelling, including CO2 sequestration and geothermal energy, as well as in understanding the controls on the evolution of fracture networks. The code is written in C Sharp and is provided with two interfaces: a standalone interface with text file input and output, that can be compiled in standard C Sharp and can run simple models, and a plug-in interface for the Petrel geomodelling package from Schlumberger, that can run more complex models of real geological structures. The standalone version has been used to run extensive sensitivity analyses, which studied the influence of various mechanical and physical parameters (e.g. layer thickness, applied strain, Young’s Modulus, etc.) on the fracture evolution and geometry, by varying the parameters individually in simple models. The Petrel plug-in has been used to evaluate the code applicability by running simulations of actual fractured layers in outcrops and in the subsurface, and comparing the results with observed fracture patterns.
