Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and is the second most common in Nepal. This study assessed the effect of an educational intervention package on knowledge, perception, and behavioral intention for breast cancer screening among adolescent students of Kathmandu Metropolitan City.Methods: A pretest -posttest control group study design was used. Each intervention and control groups included 159 participants, selected from two randomly chosen public secondary schools. Both groups completed self-administered pretest-posttest questionnaires. Educational intervention was given to the intervention group. Data was entered in EpiData 3.1 and analysed by using IBM SPSS 16 version. Wilcoxon Signed Rank test compared the difference in pretest-posttest scores within groups, and the Mann-Whitney U tested the difference between the control and the intervention groups. Results: In pretest-posttest comparisons, the intervention group showed an increase in the percentage of participants scoring at least the median value across knowledge (change: 18.0%, p<0.001), overall perception (change: 20.8%, p <0.001), and behavioral intention (change: 56.6%, p<0.001). There was significant increase in knowledge, perception, and behavioral intention among the intervention group compared to the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The educational intervention package showed a notable effect in increasing adolescent students’ intention to get screened for breast cancer. This study emphasizes the need to incorporate breast cancer screening programs into school-level curricula.

Security is the first priority for everyone, everywhere. Everyone wants their home, place of business, etc. to be secure. This concept describes a security system that monitors homes and businesses. This security system is simple to setup and is functional despite its simplicity. Here, a passive infrared sensor detects individuals wherever we place it, be it at a door near our house, in an office, a factory, or any other place we need to continuously monitor for security purposes. The Raspberry Pi acts as the application's controller in this setup.
 
When it detects movement, a PIR sensor turns on the webcam and takes an image. The homeowner is informed of the intruder's presence when an alarm is set off and photographs are sent to the cloud via Internet of Things technology. so that someone would know who the person who appeared at that exact moment was. A beep goes off to alert others in the vicinity in that case.
MODELING THE IMPACT OF WEAR ON SEALING SURFACE STRESS IN TUBING JOINTS

Published: May 2024

Tubing joints lose their integrity and tightness with aging. Here, we investigate the features of the stress distribution on the sealing surface and suggest a novel joint wear calculation technique based on the numerical cutting methodology. To determine the stress distribution on the sealing surface, a finite element model of a worn tubing junction subjected to complicated stresses was constructed and validated. The analysis of the stress distribution on the sealing surface provided insight into the failure mechanism of a worn tubing connection as well as the impacts of interior wear on the joint. The findings demonstrated that as internal wear depth grew, the contact stress of the worn portion of the sealing surface decreased. The maximum contact stress in the worn area is 35.5% lower in the axial direction and 27.3% lower in the circumferential direction of the sealing surface compared to an unworn joint when the internal wear depth reaches 3.0 mm. When the exterior wear of the joint is 3.0 mm or less, the sealing surface stress distribution of the joint is nearly identical to that of a new joint. Controlling internal wear during operation is therefore more important than preventing exterior wear because internal wear has a greater impact on the sealing surface's stress characteristics than external wear. The sealing belt features a wide range of wear depths and two wear types, with a generally constant width at the sealing surface. The quality of the tubing connection seal is maintained by doing this. tube junction, sealing performance, contact stress, wear modeling, and numerical cutting process.

Published: May 2024

This study aims to investigate why the Thai EFL learners at Nakhon Si Thammarat Rajabhat University (NSTRU) cannot speak English fluently and examine the internal factors that demotivate them from speaking English either in class or in daily life situations. To achieve these objectives, 316 male and female learners were randomly selected to participate in quantitative data collection, out of whom ten volunteered to be interviewed. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis. The findings revealed that Thai ELF learners at Nakhon Si Thammarat Rajabhat University cannot speak English because they have difficulties in the four components of speaking skills, i.e., a lack of vocabulary, an inability to pronounce some English sounds correctly due to mother tongue interference, a lack of grammar knowledge, and the perception of being ineloquent in English. They were demotivated to use the language due to four internal factors, including fear, lack of confidence, negative attitudes towards speaking, and the hindrance of unpleasant past experiences.

Published: May 2024

This study examines the effectiveness of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) implementation in science subjects and reports on the challenges that content teachers encountered during CLIL instruction. In addition, the study attempts to investigate students’ perceived knowledge of and satisfaction towards the implementation of CLIL. To accomplish these goals, relevant CLIL instructional materials were developed by the researchers and subject content teachers. Content teachers received training in English to apply the designed material and implement the CLIL instruction prior to CLIL classes. A convenience sample of 24 university students participated in this study. They were required to write research abstracts and reports in English according to the knowledge of genre and move-based structure. The data collection was conducted using a mixed qualitative and quantitative method. Student abstracts written in English were also analysed qualitatively to investigate the use of linguistic features, structural elements, and vocabulary. Additionally, six subject content teachers and six students were interviewed about their perceptions of and challenges from CLIL implementation. Student questionnaires about their attitudes towards CLIL implementation were then used to collect quantitative data. Over the seven weeks of CLIL lessons, the interview results revealed that close collaboration between content and language teachers prior to CLIL implementation was necessary to affirm the steps and procedures to be applied in the classroom. Some of the content teachers conveyed the importance of advancing students’ language-related knowledge in expressing scientific ideas in English. Most students also expressed their satisfaction towards CLIL instruction as it facilitates the learning process, helping them improve their writing and reading skills as well as their ability to use academic vocabulary. The findings of this study advance our understanding of how to implement CLIL lessons, including the importance of CLIL-related training, creating instructional materials, and language integration of content and language learning in science at the university level.

Published: May 2024

Students’ habits of mind (HoM) and disorienting dilemmas (DD) are challenging to investigate and have rarely been explored. Yet, in the past Covid-19 pandemic, students faced many academic and non-academic problems. For example, in Indonesia, 89 million parents lost their jobs, which influenced students’ emotions in their learning process. This paper applied explanatory mixed methods to address students’ HoM and DD in agriculture colleges in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Two hundred and eleven students voluntarily participated in the online closed- and open-ended survey responses. The first quantitative data were analyzed using the Rasch model of application while Nvivo12 was used for the analysis of the latter. The quantitative data were focused on how agricultural English students perceived HoM; meanwhile, the qualitative data explored a catalyst and a life crisis under the students’ DD. Then, the two research questions were comparatively discussed: (1) How do Agricultural students perceive their HoM and DD during learning English; and (2) What factors influence them in learning English? As illustrated in the Rasch map, the result showed that students were positively perceived HoM. The Pearson measure value was +1.13 logit, meaning that it showed the tendency of agree. However, some extreme findings were found from the person misfit. In terms of the students’ DD during this Covid-19 pandemic, the data showed that most students were frustrated in joining the English online classes. Unclear directions from teachers were one of the problems that stimulate students’ DD. From the perspective of HoM and DD, students were grouped into two when learning English in the pandemic: (1) those willing to improve their condition independently; and (2) those who did not care and had no initiative to find the solution.

Published: May 2024

Achieving higher levels of proficiency in a foreign language depends on more than an extensive knowledge of grammar and vocabulary. Evidence is mounting that true proficiency depends on cultural awareness about how and when language is used. This suggests that teachers in foreign language classrooms must incorporate explicit cultural lessons into their teaching plans. Yet, there remains a stubborn resistance to doing so. This paper outlines the main reasons in teaching culture and how cultural instruction and awareness lead to increased intercultural communicative competence (ICC). It addresses teachers’ concerns about teaching culture and outlines their roles. The paper provides a strategy for designing successful activities that will build intercultural communicative competence and critical thinking skills.

As in other contexts, Iranian students encountered challenges in the closedown of schools due to the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic. The present study investigated the attitudes of 108 high school EFL students, using an online questionnaire to find out whether students preferred either to receive distance e-learning or the traditional face-to-face methods of instruction at schools. To this end, the participants completed a 20-item questionnaire. Also, the study attempted to explore EFL students’ perceptions of the use of distance learning using individual semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data and the major emergent themes were discussed. The results revealed that most of the students were not ready to adopt the ongoing distance e-learning system. They complained that the pandemic had negatively impacted their learning and found the distance e-learning system ineffective. The results suggested the need for further studies on empowering the learners and teachers to improve the effectiveness of instruction in critical situations.

Authors: Lu Bing , Deng Fujun
Published: May 2024

Aiming at the problem that the traditional model current predictive control of open-winding permanent magnet synchronous motor with common bus is easy to change its motor parameters, the current predictive control and model-free control are combined. On this basis, a linear state observer is added to estimate the system disturbance and solve the time-consuming and complicated problem of model-free control disturbance. The improved model-free current predictive control selects the best basic voltage vector and action time through the value function and voltage vector sector. The zero-sequence voltage to be compensated is obtained by the difference between the zero-sequence voltage generated by non-zero vector and the reference zero-sequence voltage, and the mixed zero vector injected and the action time are selected and calculated, so that the system can achieve optimal compensation. Finally, Matlab/Simulink is used for simulation, which verifies the effectiveness and feasibility of the experiment.

The objective of this article is to analyze femicide in Ecuador through an analysis of the Ecuadorian legal system. The methodology is raised from a qualitative approach of a phenomenological nature due to the social and legal context of the problem, using analytical, historical - logical methods and documentary analysis through a review of legal theories and laws in force in the country. The Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code (COIP) typifies femicide, also the Comprehensive Organic Law to Prevent and Eradicate Violence Against Women approved in 2018 in its introduction indicates the importance of its inclusion as a crime. Despite this, in Ecuador there has been an increase in cases of femicide, despite the validity of the regulations approved in the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code. Although there are criticisms of its introduction in the COIP, due to the high homicide rate in general, from the gender point of view it requires special treatment due to the causal factors related to the gender roles present in society, most of the cases the offenders are couples of the victims, it is born from gender violence and with psychological and social consequences for families.

Untimely dismissal is a reality that is constantly experienced in the face of the violation of workers' rights, occurring unilaterally by the employer, when deciding to end the employment relationship and surprisingly, abruptly and illegitimately notifying the worker. Indeed, if the existence of untimely dismissal is proven, the employer is obliged to indemnify the worker who is the victim of this unlawful act, as compensation for the abuse suffered. That is to say, that the liquidation responds to the fundamental rights of the workers. This article adopts a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive methodology, declaring qualitative, synthetic analytical methods. In this sense, in the present work it will be possible to identify more clearly that the worker's obligation is to provide the objective evidence necessary to justify and corroborate that he was the victim of untimely dismissal, so that in this way the judge, through the evidentiary analysis, has the due certainty that there was an anti-legal fact and order the taxation established in the regulations to be cancelled.

Preliminary Evaluation of Gaussian Naive Bayes for Multi-Label Hate Speech and Abusive Language Detection on Indonesian Twitter
Authors: Handayani Tri Pratiwi , Hasyim Wahyudin , Wati Nursetia
Published: May 2024

Automatic detection of hate speech and abusive language is crucial for combating online toxicity. This study explores Gaussian Naive Bayes for multi-label classification of hate speech on Indonesian Twitter, including target, category, and level. We combined TF-IDF features with contextual BERT embeddings. The model achieved balanced performance for general hate speech and good non-abusive language detection. However, it exhibited limitations with imbalanced data and specific hate speech types. The classifier consistently favored the majority class (non-hateful/non-abusive) across labels, particularly struggling with HS_Gender, HS_Physical, etc. This suggests difficulty detecting less frequent but potentially severe hate speech, likely due to limited training data. Overall accuracy and F1-scores confirm that while Gaussian Naive Bayes is efficient, it lacks robustness for nuanced multi-label classification with imbalanced datasets. This necessitates exploring alternative approaches for effectively detecting specific and less frequent hate speech.

Dari sudut pandang Al-Qur’an, demokrasi adalah penerapan prinsip-prinsip Islam yang telah diajarkan, terutama yang berkaitan dengan ide syura. Al-Qur’an tidak secara khusus menyebutkan “demokrasi”, tetapi ayat-ayat yang menekankan nilai keadilan, diskusi, dan kasih sayang dalam pengambilan keputusan memberikan petunjuk yang relevan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian pendekatan kualitatif dan deskriptif dengan menggunakan data sekunder dari berbagai sumber. Ayat-ayat seperti Al-Baqarah:233, Ali Imran:159, dan Asy-Syura:38 menegaskan urgensi musyawarah dan prinsip-prinsip demokratis dalam kerangka nilai-nilai Islam. Hasilnya menunjukkan pentingnya musyawarah dalam pengambilan keputusan, baik di ranah privat maupun publik, dan mengutip Nabi Muhammad sebagai contoh orang yang menerapkannya dalam kegiatan sehari-hari. Ada upaya untuk menciptakan sintesis kritis antara Islam dan demokrasi dengan mengakui cita-cita etis yang saling menguntungkan, terlepas dari keragaman pendapat tentang masalah ini. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini sampai pada kesimpulan bahwa demokrasi Islam merupakan penerapan prinsip-prinsip yang diberikan dalam ajaran Islam, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan keadilan, musyawarah, dan kebaikan dalam pengambilan keputusan, dan bukan sesuatu yang berbeda atau bertentangan. Dengan demikian, memahami hubungan antara Islam dan tatanan demokrasi akan sangat terbantu dengan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang sikap Al-Qur’an terhadap demokrasi.

Authors: Phan Quỳnh Trang  , Lưu Kim Hồng
Published: May 2024

Phụ nữ ngày càng có nhiều cơ hội để tham gia vào thị trường lao động và có nhiều cơ hội thăng tiến hơn. Tuy nhiên, theo kết quả khảo sát công bố của Tổ chức Lao động Quốc tế (ILO) năm 2020 thì 73% doanh nghiệp xác nhận rằng có phụ nữ nắm giữ các vị trí quản lý cấp trung nhưng chỉ có 15% nữ giới tham gia ở các vị trí lãnh đạo cấp cao. Do đó, mục tiêu của bài nghiên cứu này là nghiên cứu tác động của tỷ lệ nữ tham gia vào ban lãnh đạo (BLĐ) cấp cao, cụ thể là Ban điều hành và Hội đồng quản trị (HĐQT) đến đầu tư doanh nghiệp. Bằng việc sử dụng dữ liệu bảng của các doanh nghiệp niêm yết tại Sở Giao dịch Chứng khoán Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh (HOSE) và Sở Giao dịch Chứng khoán Hà Nội (HNX) trong giai đoạn 2010–2021 và phương pháp hồi quy Bình phương tối thiểu tổng quát (GLS), nhóm tác giả nhận thấy rằng nữ giới tham gia vào BLĐ cấp cao càng nhiều thì đầu tư doanh nghiệp vào tài sản cố định càng được cải thiện. Điều này có thể được lý giải bởi sự tham gia của nữ giới trong BLĐ cấp cao giúp cho vai trò giám sát đầu tư được hiệu quả hơn, cho nên việc đầu tư được khuyến khích hơn để tận dụng lợi thế đó.

Abstract
This study aims at assessing and translating the verb Akhadha ‘أخذ’ in the Glorious Quran into English. Since the verb in question has several meanings in the Glorious Quran according to the context, it should be well treated by the translator of the religious texts in general and Quranic texts in particular. Therefore, a number of Quranic ayas that contain the verb will be selected and will be subjected to translation assessment in order to measure the accuracy of the translations of the verb ‘Akhadha’ in English. If the translations of the verb are inadequate, the researcher will give the suggested translations pursuant to the contexts of the said ayas. It is hypothesized that the translators of the Quranic texts including the verb in question might encounter difficulties in translating the verb and as corollary might produce inadequate translations as a result of the various rhetorical senses the verb has. Those rhetorical senses of the verb might be deemed as difficult for translators.
