Introduction:

Social media has developed exponentially over the last decade as a means for individuals and patients to connect to others and has provided a unique opportunity for physicians to provide broader information to the general public to attempt to positively modify health behavior. The purpose of this study was to assess the patient’s perception of spinal cord injury (SCI) on social media.

Methods:

Instagram and Twitter social media platforms were analyzed to determine posts written by patients with SCI. The initial search for Instagram posts tagged with “#spinalcordinjury” yielded over 270,000 posts in April 2021. Posts pertaining to the patient’s experience were retrospectively collected from January 2020 to April 2021. Twitter posts that included “#spinalcordinjury,” “@spinalcordinjury,” and “spinal cord injury” were retrospectively collected in April 2021. One hundred seventeen tweets were found that were directly from a patient with SCI. Themes associated with patients’ experiences living with SCI were coded.

Results:

The most common theme on Instagram was spreading positivity and on Twitter was the appearance of the wheelchair (75.8% and 37.3%, respectively). Other common themes on Instagram were the appearance of a wheelchair (71.8%), recovery or rehabilitation (29.9%), and life satisfaction (29.0%). Prevalent themes on Twitter included spreading positivity (23.2%) and recovery or rehabilitation (21.3%).

Conclusion:

The prevalence of themes of positivity and awareness may indicate the utilization of social media as a support mechanism for patients living with SCI. Identification of prevalent themes is important for the holistic treatment of SCI survivors.
Toward an integrated framework for examining the addictive use of smartphones among young adults
Authors: Tan Christine Nya-Ling
Published: September 2023

Introduction:

Despite the growing concern over addictive smartphone use among young adults, there is a lack of understanding of the specific mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. This study aims to fill this gap by integrating the stimulus-organism-response–cognitive-adaptive-normative model to examine the drivers of habitual smartphone behavior and addictive use and the role of habitual behavior as a mediator.

Methods:

A quantitative method employing a purposive sampling technique was used to collect self-administered online questionnaires between May and August 2016 from 705 young adults (aged 17–30 years) in Malaysia. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used.

Results:

Convenience (β =0.256, t = 5.993, P < 0.001), social needs (β =0.349, t = 8.661, P < 0.001), and social influence (β =0.108, t = 3.108, P < 0.01) are positively associated with habitual behavior. However, convenience (β =0.041, t = 0.997) and social needs (β = −0.027, t = 0.682) are not associated with addictive use, even though social influence (β =0.195, t = 5.116, P < 0.001) did significantly influenced addictive use. Furthermore, habitual behavior is an extremely strong determinant of addictive use (β =0.505, t = 13.837, P < 0.001). The results also indicated that habitual behavior partially mediated the relationship between the drivers and addictive use.

Conclusion:

This study emphasizes the importance of the drivers (i.e., convenience, social needs, and social influence) in shaping habitual behavior and addictive use so that policies can promote responsible and healthy smartphone use among young adults.

Real‐time 3D multi‐pedestrian detection and tracking using 3D LiDAR point cloud for mobile robot
Authors: Na Ki‐In , Park Byungjae
Published: September 2023

Mobile robots are used in modern life; however, object recognition is still insufficient to realize robot navigation in crowded environments. Mobile robots must rapidly and accurately recognize the movements and shapes of pedestrians to navigate safely in pedestrian‐rich spaces. This study proposes real‐time, accurate, three‐dimensional (3D) multi‐pedestrian detection and tracking using a 3D light detection and ranging (LiDAR) point cloud in crowded environments. The pedestrian detection quickly segments a sparse 3D point cloud into individual pedestrians using a lightweight convolutional autoencoder and connected‐component algorithm. The multi‐pedestrian tracking identifies the same pedestrians considering motion and appearance cues in continuing frames. In addition, it estimates pedestrians' dynamic movements with various patterns by adaptively mixing heterogeneous motion models. We evaluate the computational speed and accuracy of each module using the KITTI dataset. We demonstrate that our integrated system, which rapidly and accurately recognizes pedestrian movement and appearance using a sparse 3D LiDAR, is applicable for robot navigation in crowded spaces.

Authors:   G-12M Methods Committee
Published: September 2023

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) establishes standard phraseology for the communication procedures during aircraft ground deicing/anti-icing operations.NOTE: The minimum requirements to accomplish an aircraft deicing/anti-icing operation are specified in AS6285.Clear concise standard phraseology between the groundcrew and flightcrew is an important part of the deicing/anti-icing process. It plays a key role in the overall safety of the deicing program. Historically, flightcrew and groundcrew have had to deal with differing communication scripts at multiple airport locations. This has led to unsafe situations, including aircraft moving before the deicing process has been fully completed.
Appraisal of education as youth transformational agent for national development in Nigeria
Authors: Isaiah Ola ABOLARIN
Published: September 2023

The roles of youth in national development cannot be underestimated. The roles can be either negative, hampering the development or positive, enhancing the development. The kind of education received by the youth is a significant factor to whatever role they play in building a nation. Nigeria as a nation experiences a period of different violent and criminal behaviours among which are kidnaping for ransom, killing, internet crime (yahoo-yahoo), and money ritual killings and all these are going along with the global Covid-19 pandemic that also has negative impact on the national development. These behaviours are being majorly committed by the youth of the nation. This calls for transformation as a needed phenomenon for the youth in Nigeria using education as the tool, to build them for national development. Adopting desk research, the study was anchored on Omoluabi concept. The study concluded that since education is imperative for youth transformation, the educational stakeholders in Nigeria are to reform the education system that will lead youth to become acceptable adults thereby making positive contribution to the development of the nation.

ROLE OF NASYA TO REGULATE H-P-O AXIS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ARTAVA
KSHAYA
Authors: Nath Anudeepa , Goswami Dipak Kumar
Published: September 2023

Nasya karma, also known as intranasal drug delivery, is the specific treatment methodology briefly explained in
Ayurveda under Panchakarma. Nasya karma has been recognised as an important form of treatment for cleansing
of Urdhava Jatrugata doshas (supra clavicular part of body), palliation of diseases of head and neck and it alleviates
Vata kapha dosha. Normal menstruation requires integration of H-P-O axis with a functional uterus, any break in
this axis creates menstrual problems in which the most common one in today’s era is Artava kshaya. The term
Artava has many meanings like menstrual blood, ovum and ovarian hormones. Artava kshaya can be correlated
with oligomenorrhoea or hypomenorrhoea by their sign and symptoms. As per Ayurveda Nasa is considered as the
gateway of Sirah i.e., brain hence Nasya would be the appropriate Shodhana procedure to regulate H-P-O axis and
establishment of normal menstrual cycle.

Authors: Yadav Shipra , Kapoor Ritu
Published: September 2023

A sort of poison generated by an animal that is actively administered through a wound by way of a bite, sting, or
other similar action is known as venom or zootoxin.[1][2][3] The process of envenomation involves the delivery of
the poison through a specially evolved venom mechanism, such as fangs or a stinger. National public health data
show that there are 1.5 million scorpion envenoming’s recorded worldwide each year, resulting in 2000–3000 fatalities. [4,5]. Scorpions (also known as Vrischika) are a type of Keeta (insect) because of the intensity of their
poisoning and illness symptoms. Vrischika Visha has received special attention from Ayurveda acharyas and is
referred to as a singular entity in the classics. The present work examines the therapeutic effects of Apamarg moola
and Bilwadi agad, two commonly utilised medicinal herbs by traditional healers in the treatment of Vrishchik
damsha (scorpions bite).A polyherbal ayurvedic preparation is called Bilwadi agada or gutika. In acute toxicopathological situations, it is a viable medication option.

Etiological factors like, Aghat, Yanayana, Jalkrida Vishamashanam, Ajirnashana, Adhyashana, Diwaswap, consumption of Lavana, Amla, Katu, Kshara and Vidhahi food etc, Vata and Rakta get vitiated and Rakta causes
Margavrodha to Vata and the disease Vatarakta occurs. The Rakta gets vitiated by Vatadosha later gravitates towards the foot and small joints. This vicious amalgamation of vitiated Vata and Rakta is called Vatarakta. Vatarakta can even be correlated to Gout on the basis of etiopathology. A 54-year-old male patient approached the
OPD with the chief complaints of: Right great toe swelling, pain along with mild discoloration. Left feet small
joints pain with burning sensation without swelling. Right elbow joint pain while movements. General weakness
was also seen. All the above complaints were in the last 6 months. The patient gets partial relief in symptoms with
febuxostat and pain killers which precipitate in hyperacidity and disturbed bowel. So patients are willing to avoid
allopathy medicine. In our Panchakarma IPD patient was given combination of Ayurved medicines and Panchakarma therapy as schedule of Guduchi ksheer basti (Enema with drugs having Guduchi, Milk) for 15 days, and
later was shifted on Ayurveda Shaman medicines on discharge for further 2 weeks and the results were remarkably seen. Hence this study was taken to prove that Ayurvedic management has remarkable results in Vatarakta
(Gout). Observation and results were drawn on the basis of assessment criteria. Discussion was done on the basis
of entire observations during research. Conclusion was drawn on the basis of result.

Authors: Цаллагова З.Б.
Published: September 2023

В статье, посвященной известной женщине Древней Руси, княгине Влади- мирской Марии Ясыне (1158–1206), ставится задача рассмотрения точек зрения и ма- териалов ученых, которые исследовали вопросы и версии ее этнического происхождения, а также ее христианского подвижничества и духовных подвигов. Приведенный в публи- кации аналитический обзор научных работ ведущих этнологов, археологов, филологов, религиоведов, антропологов страны, данный в ракурсе исследуемой проблемы, позволя- ет подойти к выводам об аргументированности и неоспоримости научных фактов, сви- детельствующих об аланском (ясском) происхождении княгини Владимирской, известной по древнерусским летописям как Мария Ясыня. Что касается ее духовного подвига, то его оценили еще современники княгини: усилия Марии Ясыни по благочестивому воспита- нию своих двенадцати детей (среди потомков которых тринадцать русских святых), по строительству православных храмов и благотворительности, засвидетельствованно- му летописцами личному благочестию, стали основанием для ее почитания как местноч- тимой Владимирской святой вскоре после ее монашеского пострига и кончины.

The article, dedicated to the famous woman of Ancient Rus', Princess of Vladimir Maria Yasynya (1158–1206), sets the task of considering the points of view and materials of scientists who investigated the issues and versions of her ethnic origin, as well as her asceticism and spiritual exploits. The analytical review of the scientific works of leading ethnologists, archaeologists, philologists, religious scholars, anthropologists of the country given in the publication, given in the perspective of the problem under study, allows us to draw conclusions about the reasonableness and indisputability of scientific facts testifying to the Alanian (Yassky) origin of Princess of Vladimir, known from ancient Russian chronicles like Maria Yasynya. As for her spiritual feat, it was appreciated by the contemporaries of the princess: the efforts of Maria Yasynya in the pious upbringing of her twelve children (among whose descendants there are thirteen Russian saints), in the construction of Orthodox churches and charity, testified by the chroniclers to personal piety, became the basis for her veneration as a locally revered Vladimir saint shortly after her monastic tonsure and death.

Authors: Estaji Masoomeh , Ghiasvand Farhad
Published: September 2023

Teacher assessment identity (TAI) as a vital element of teacher professionalism has recently flourished in educational assessment. However, unpacking its developmental trajectories has been left uncharted. Against this gap, this study scrutinized the dynamism of TAI under the influence of audio diaries. In so doing, 22 novice and experienced Iranian EFL teachers uploaded their audio-diaries on a website for two months. They did so once a week and ultimately 176 audio diaries were gleaned. Moreover, to explore the participants’ perceptions of TAI considering audio diary, a semi-structured interview was held with ten teachers. The results of content and thematic analysis revealed that both novice and experienced EFL teachers’ assessment identities were improved by audio diaries. Initially, the participants concentrated on the theoretical principles of assessment, while at the end they shifted toward social aspects of assessment and professionalism. Furthermore, the results of interviews indicated that audio diaries are promising tools to capture TAI as they allow the participants to do self-reflection, deep thinking, iterative analysis of ideas, and keep a record of their assessment perceptions and practices for future use. The study has implications for EFL teachers and teacher educators by enhancing their knowledge and understanding of TAI and its dynamism.

Published: September 2023

Kota Medan sebagai Ibu Kota Provinsi Sumatera Utara mengalami kemajuan yang cukup signifikan. Hal ini terjadi seiring dengan pembangunan pusat-pusat perdagangan dan bangunan-bangunan komersil di beberapa tempat, Salah satunya di koridor Jalan Iskandar Muda. Pada umumnya bangunan-bangunan tersebut menyebar di sepanjang koridor jalan yang berfungsi sebagai kawasan komersial di kota Medan. Kondisi ini melahirkan aktivitas pergerakan orang yang cukup tinggi, salah satunya pergerakan orang yang terjadi di jalur pedestrian. hal ini mendorong  tingginya penyelenggaraan  signage dimana pejalan kaki sebagai sasaran utamanya. Signage merupakan alat komunikasi yang berfungsi untuk memberi informasi kepada orang-orang yang sedang berjalan maupun berkendaraan. Kehadiran signage di Jalan Iskandar Muda Kota Medan ternyata lebih cenderung memanfaatkan potensi ekonomi kawasan secara maksimal, sehingga terjadi pergeseran fungsi ruang kota menjadi ruang ekspresi media iklan. Hal ini terlihat dari titik-titik pemasangan signage yang terlalu banyak dan beragam serta ukuran signage yang tidak memenuhi kaidah estetika visual kota yang pada akhirnya mengganggu kenyamanan pejalan kaki dan mengurangi keindahan estetika visual pada koridor Jalan Iskandar Muda tersebut. Sebagai upaya menciptakan kenyamanan kota yang mendukung terhadap estetika visual serta tidak mengganggu kenyamanan pejalan kaki, penelitian ini menghasilkan konsep desain berupa penempatan signage sesuai zona peruntukkannya yaitu pada zona pedestrian, desain proporsi ketinggian signage terhadap lebar jalur pedestrian dengan menggunakan pendekatan skala manusia, desain dimensi panel atau bidang signage dengan menggunakan konsep golden section, serta  pengaturan titik penempatan atau persebaran signage dengan menggunakan konsep irama (rytme) dan peraturan daerah yang telah ditetapkan dengan tujuan membatasai jumlah signage pada jalur pedestrian.

Sıcak Aks Kutusu Tespit Sistemlerinde Arka Plan Işımalarının Kızılötesi Sensor Ölçüm Verilerine Etkisinin İncelenmesi
Authors: GÖKCE Kürşad
Published: September 2023

Kızılötesi sıcaklık ölçüm teknolojisi, demiryolu taşıtlarının güvenliği ve verimliliği için kritik öneme sahiptir. Ancak çevresel koşullar, özellikle yansıyan radyasyona bağlı arka plan ışımaları (back-ground radiation), doğru ölçümleri engelleyebilir veya yanıltıcı sonuçlara yol açabilir. Bu çalışma, arka plan ışımalarının sıcak aks kutusu kızılötesi sıcaklık sensör ölçüm verilerine olan etkisini incelemekte ve bu etkiyi elimine edecek analitik bir yöntem önermektedir. Bu sayede daha doğru ve güvenilir sonuçlar elde edilmesine katkı sunmaktadır. Bu amaçla, aks kutusunun gerçek verilerine dayalı bir simülasyon modeli kurulmuş ve farklı ortam sıcaklıklarının sensör ölçüm sonuçlarına etkisi incelenmiştir. Simülasyon sonuçlarından elde edilen veriler, ortam ile ölçüm yüzeyi arasındaki sıcaklık farkı azaldıkça arka plan ışıma etkisinin daha yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir. Örneğin 50°C bir hedef yüzey sıcaklığı ve 45°C ortam sıcaklığı altında 6,8°C bir sıcaklık sapması oluşmuştur. Ayrıca kızılötesi sensörün sıcaklığı doğru algılaması için yüzeyin yayıcılık katsayısının düzgün belirlenmesinin önemli olduğu görülmüştür.
Exploring the determinant of flu vaccine hesitancy among Turkish population: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Bektay Muhammed Yunus , Ulaş Mehmet Halit
Published: September 2023

Background: Although influenza is a contagious and widespread viral disease, its impact on public health is controlled by vaccination programs. However, anti-vaccination sentiment is also increasing in society. This study aims to explore the factors influencing influenza vaccine hesitancy.
Methods: Between November 2020 and January 2021, a cross-sectional observational survey was carried out in Turkey. To investigate the extent of vaccine hesitancy among individuals, an online questionnaire was created using Google Forms. Data were collected using an exponential non-discriminative snowball sampling technique. Besides internal consistency reliability, chi-square was performed. Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05.
Results: This research encompassed a cohort of 172 respondents, with an average age of 53.5±14.3 years within the total sample. Most participants (126, 73.25%) were above 45. The participant group was predominantly female (93, 54.1%), and most had achieved a high school or university education (117, 66.2%). Out of the participants, 123 individuals (71.5%) reported having a chronic ailment. Among the 172 participants, 118 (68.6%) exhibited no reluctance to receive the influenza vaccine, while 54 (31.4%) expressed vaccine hesitancy. There was a notable statistically significant distinction in the level of knowledge regarding influenza vaccines (p<0.001, χ²= 20.482).
Conclusion: Lack of information, perceived harms, lack of trust in pharmaceutical companies, and experiences are among the most important determinants of anti-vaccination. Pharmacists may have a potential role in the leading part of the healthcare team in the fight against anti-vaccination in the community.

The study was aimed to assess potential mutagenic effects of the valproic acid derivative containing a tertiary amino group when studing its safety. Testing for toxicophores and assessment of the mutagenic effect probability were perfomed using the QSAR Toolbox offline software (v4.5 SP1). The Ames test with and without metabolic activation was used to estimate mutagenic potential of valproic acid containing a tertiary amino group in vitro. The computer prediction results predicted that the test substance would show no mutagenic effects in the Ames test. These data were confirmed by the in vitro Ames test for a broad range of concentrations of valproic acid containing a tertiary amino group (0.02–5.0 mg/mL). The concentrations of valproic acid containing a tertiary amino group exceeding 1.58 mg/mL have a bacteriostatic effect on the TA 100 S. typhimurium strain and the WP2 uvr A pKM 101с E. coli strain. Thus, the valproic acid derivative containing a tertiary amino group possesses no mutagenic effect, it can be recommended for further preclinical trials of therapeutic efficacy and safety.
Achieving Peace and Development in Post - conflict sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) through the Access and Participation of Girls and Women in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET)

This is a desk review-based paper intended to incite debate within education and related fields, regarding the stance that girls and women who participate in TVET are likely to increase their chances of contributing to peace and development in post-conflict societies. Peace and development are inextricably intertwined. TVET plays an important role in the development of any nation, so its role in peace building and conflict prevention in the community can hardly be contested. On this account, the paper argues in support of the ‘notion of educating for a culture of peace through refocusing technical and vocational education and training’ programmes for the sustainable economic development of SSA; and calls on TVET institutions to do a reality check on their programmes to ensure that they are capable of delivering for girls and women the skills they need to integrate themselves in the community, and make a difference. This is important because the TVET of girls and women is essential, not only for girls and women to attain gender equality (a laudable and achievable goal!); but beyond that, to become leaders of, and contributors to, peaceful change in their countries and local communities. It is hoped that at the end of it all, this paper would have succeeded in stoking a debate on this important but often underdiscussed subject – and in the process the TVET of girls and women would have been accorded its rightful place in policy discussions in the region, and by extension, other regions of the world. The TVET system envisaged in this paper is that which is well- designed, managed and funded. This is because a poorly- designed, managed and funded TVET system should not be expected to have the same impact on its graduates and their communities. The paper’s theoretical underpinnings are derived, to varying extents, from the Social Learning Theory, the Human Capital Theory, the Sustainable Development theory and the Capability Approach.

Aggregate loss was the total loss suffered by an insured that the insurance company had to bear in one period. Aggregate losses depend on the claim frequency and claim severity. Knowing the distribution of aggregate losses was important in calculating insurance premiums. In general, there were two types of methods for determining the distribution of aggregate losses: analytical and numerical. In this research, we discussed the application of analytic solution of aggregate loss distribution through the Laplace transform. The goodness-of-fit for claim frequency data used the Chi-square test and for claim severity data, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used. The data used were secondary data from the records of PT. X in 2013, consisting of data on the claim frequency and the claim severity for insured motor vehicle insurance category 3 region 25, with claims filed being partial loss. Based on the results of the application of the analytical solution of the aggregate loss distribution, it could be concluded that the claim frequency data was Poisson distributed and the claim severity data was Lindley distributed. The probability value of someone not filing a claim was 0.7316. The expected value of the aggregate loss distribution or the average claim severity for each insured approved by the insurance companies was Rp753,533.125, and it was known that the probability of an insured not making a claim exceeding Rp2,404,433.125 is 0.7316.

Our principal objective is to implement a conditional CAPM that, in addition to the global market risk, specifies the level of market integration, evaluates exchange rate risk, and accounts for local market risk. To investigate the potential for portfolio diversification for foreign investors in this region by examining the impact of financial crises on the evolution of national markets in the MENA region's financial integration with the global market as well as with the three selected developed markets, namely France, Great Britain, and the United State. In order to test a conditional version of De Santis and Gerard's ICAPM by admitting a specification of a multivariate GARCH process, this line of research has used a particular methodology (MGARCH).
Teacher’s Basic Behaviour as Motivation for Student Learning
Authors:   Baptist College of Theology, Lagos, Adebayo Mary Olubunmi
Published: September 2023

Teachers are essential stakeholder that cannot be downplayed in education. As important as they are, their behaviour is so contagious that it can mar or help student learning. Teacher’s behaviour is a function of the characteristics of the teacher, his environment and the task in which the teacher engages. Teacher’s behaviour could be respect, relational, integrity, trust, enthusiasm among others. However, teacher’s behaviour that hinders learning are - Resistance to change, absenteeism, unpreparedness for class, inability to meet student needs. Moreover, teacher cannot just decide to misbehave for no just cause, there must have been underline factors responsible for teacher’s misbehaviour. Therefore, factors responsible for teacher’s misbehaviour are – Poor incentive, wrong conception of teaching profession, economic regression, non-inclusive of students’ diversity and culture, work related stress. The aforementioned thus, have implications on students learning. Teacher’s misbehaviour does encourage fall in morality, low self- esteem, increase in examination malpractice and so on. It is therefore, expected of the teachers to develop an appropriate behaviour such as optimistic, emotional intelligence skill, commitment to work and building positive relationship. In addition, the government and the school owners should establish and disseminate a code of conduct for teachers that will guide their behaviour, monitor teachers physically (inspection) and through technological gadget (CCTV camera); provide support for teachers at all levels (financially, academically, morally) to avoid misbehaviour.
