Authors: Al-Haddad Shafig , Azzam Al-Baw Duaa , Ahmad Sharabati Abdel-Aziz , Altamimi Diana
Published: November 2022

Sustainability includes social, economic, and ecological responsibilities. The worldwide concern about sustainability is increasing, especially for those issues related to the ecological domain. Any organization wishing to survive and sustain its business should consider sustainability pillars within daily activities. Therefore, this study is directed to investigate how consumers’ identification, involvement, and commitment to sustainability affect entrepreneurship. This paper uses a quantitative cross-sectional method to collect the data from 400 respondents in Jordan. The results show a correlation between consumers’ level of involvement, identification, commitment, and sustainability components (economy-driven venture, society-driven venture, and ecology-driven venture). Moreover, commitment has the highest effect on customers’ intentions and behavior; identification has the second highest effect, while involvement does not significantly affect both customers’ intentions and behavior. The study recommends that all organizations, whatever they do and wherever they conduct their business, should consider sustainability pillars within their strategies and daily practices. The sustainability-driven ventures should not only attract the required customer segmentation via social media, but also enhance, strengthen, and engage their sense of identification, commitment, and belonging.

Published: November 2022

Pandemic COVID-19 has led to a sharp decline in the economic aspect, educational activities considered less effective, and difficulty performing worship. As a result, people's anxiety has increased dramatically. This study aims to reveal the urgency of spiritual healing in the life of the community during the Pandemic COVID-19 to answer the challenges of how effective it is in tackling the crucial erosion of spirituality amid society. This article is library-based research, and the data were gathered using documentary approaches. With the descriptive analysis approach, using al-Ghazālī's idea of Ma'rifatullāh, this study found that Ma'rifatullāh, through self-recognition, will lead someone to a more peaceful and calmer situation. Its position as a centre of spiritual healing in Taṣawwuf teachings is very effective in overcoming the crisis experienced by the community during the pandemic. Thus, the anxiety and worldly concerns will transform into peace and tranquillity.Contribution: This article reveals that self-tranquillity and peace are sometimes not dealing with worldly affairs. Instead, it is about spiritual things. However, many tend to forget that the root of their tranquillity is found in the spiritual dimension.

Published: November 2022

Genistein is a flavonoid, mostly found in soybean extract and is widely used
for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Genistein can interact with estrogen
receptors due to its structural similarities to estrogen. It also inhibits protein tyrosine
kinases and affects a variety of intracellular signal transductions. Genistein attenuates
oxidative stress via diverse cellular mechanisms. However, nuclear factor (erythroidderived
2)-like 2 (Nrf2), the main antioxidant regulator, potentiates genistein's
antioxidant effects and reduces cell damage. Nrf2 includes of seven domains and
controls the expression of the phase II antioxidant enzymes to decrease oxidative
stress. In this review, we address findings related to Nrf2 signaling pathways in the
context of genistein’s effects on diverse human diseases.

Aims:

The present survey aims to assess the overall mood disorder prevalence and identify associated socio-demographic and clinical factors in a Tunisian community sample, with special attention to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background:

Mood disorders are one of the leading causes of all non-fatal burden of disease, with depression being at the top of the list. The COVID-19 pandemic may have increased the prevalence of mood disorders, especially in Low and Middle income countries (LMICs) and in vulnerable populations.

Objectives:

1. Assess point and lifetime prevalence of depressive and bipolar disorders as well as subthreshold bipolarity in a representative population sample of La Manouba governorate and assess treatment patterns for these disorders.

2. Study socio-demographic and clinical correlates of mood disorders

3. Assess the association between mood disorders and quality of life

4. Study the impact of the COVID-pandemic on the prevalence of mood disorders

5. Assess coping mechanisms to the COVID-pandemic and whether these mechanisms moderate the appearance of mood disorders or symptoms since the beginning of the pandemic

Method:

This is a household cross-sectional observational survey to be conducted in La Manouba Governorate in a sample of 4540 randomly selected individuals aged ≥ 15 years. Data collection will be carried out by trained interviewers with clinical experience, through face-to-face interviews and the use of the computer assisted personal interviewing approach (CAPI). The following assessment tools are administered:

Reasons for Avoiding their Local Clinics among Non-emergency Patients at Accident and Emergency Department, Pretoria, South Africa
Authors: Thaba Tebogo , Madela-Mntla Edith , Ramochele Margaret , Nzaumvila Doudou
Published: November 2022

Background:

An accident and emergency department (AED) is designated for patients who need to be seen urgently. However, at Jubilee Hospital, a large number of patients regularly presented directly to the AED with minor ailments. This resulted in long queues in the already overcrowded waiting room.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study design with a sample of 289 participants.

Results:

Those aged 21-40 years accounted for 44.6% of the participants. Patients mainly arrived on Fridays (72%), and medical-related complaints (128; 44.3%) were the most prevalent. In addition, patients primarily relied on public transportation to get there (180; 62.1%). In most cases, patients had previously visited clinics more than twice (141; 58.8%). Majority of patients were aware of the community health centres’ services. Only 33.6% of the clinics that were bypassed provided services 24 hours a day. Almost 80% of bypassed clinics were within 10 km of the District Hospital. Patients’ main reasons were long queues (89.6%) and medication shortages (67.6%). In 51.2% of cases, patients were aware of the referral system, but 14.5% did not think it made sense, and 11% did not understand it well.

Conclusion:

Proper strict application of the triage system and education of patients will decrease emergency department overcrowding. This will improve patient safety, clinical outcomes and the efficiency of the health system. In addition, changing local clinics’ operating hours will assist in reducing the high number of patients seen at Jubilee Hospital.
Structure, Composition and Morphology of Self-Assembled 2D
Nanostructures Based on SnO2 Nanoparticles Observed in Unannealed
Mn Doped Hydrated Form of Tin Oxide (II) or (IV) Synthesized by
Co-precipitation Method
Authors: Reyes-Gonzalez Joaquin , Garcia-Gutierrez Diana , Garza-Navarro Marco , Garcia-Gutierrez Domingo
Published: November 2022

Background:

2D nanostructures are greatly interested in different technological applications,
particularly optoelectronics. Tin oxide 2D nanostructures have shown great transparency and
ideal charge carrier transport properties.

Objective:

The current study aims to evaluate the main characteristics of 2D-nanostructures observed
during the synthesis of hydrated forms of tin oxide (II) or (IV) doped with Mn.

Methods:

A chemical co-precipitation method was used for the synthesis of the hydrated forms of tin
oxide (II) or (IV) with different conditions on time (1 and 1.5 h) and temperature (60ºC and 90ºC), using
MnCl2 as the manganese source.

Results:

X-ray diffraction and XPS results revealed the formation of the hydroromarchite phase
(Sn6O4(OH)4) as the main product of the synthesis reaction. Scanning electron microscopy images
were used to identify and measure, in a first approach, the 2D nanostructures observed as a result of
the synthesis. Morphological characterization using different transmission electron microscopy techniques
revealed the presence of nanoparticles that were observed to self-assemble to form the 2D
nanostructures observed (nanorods and nanosheets). Nonetheless, selected-area electron diffraction
suggested the presence of the cassiterite phase (SnO2) in the nanoparticles forming the 2D nanostructures.
Furthermore, chemical analyses using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy supported the observations
made by the diffraction studies regarding the presence of cassiterite phase (SnO2) in the 2D
nanostructures. The number of 2D nanostructures observed in the analyzed samples increased as the
Mn concentration increased in the synthesis reaction.

Conclusions:

The addition of Mn as an intended doping element increased the crystallite size and the
polycrystallinity of the synthesized hydrated forms of tin oxide (II) or (IV). Additionally, it also promoted
the formation of 2D nanostructures made of SnO2 nanoparticles.

Authors: Salamanca-Sanabria Alicia , Jabir Ahmad Ishqi , Lin Xiaowen , Alattas Aishah , Kocaballi A Baki , Lee Jimmy , Kowatsch Tobias , Tudor Car Lorainne
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

Mental health interventions delivered through mobile health (mHealth) technologies can increase the access to mental health services, especially among university students. The development of mHealth intervention is complex and needs to be context sensitive. There is currently limited evidence on the perceptions, needs, and barriers related to these interventions in the Southeast Asian context.

OBJECTIVE

This qualitative study aimed to explore the perception of university students and mental health supporters in Singapore about mental health services, campaigns, and mHealth interventions with a focus on conversational agent interventions for the prevention of common mental disorders such as anxiety and depression.

METHODS

We conducted 6 web-based focus group discussions with 30 university students and one-to-one web-based interviews with 11 mental health supporters consisting of faculty members tasked with student pastoral care, a mental health first aider, counselors, psychologists, a clinical psychologist, and a psychiatrist. The qualitative analysis followed a reflexive thematic analysis framework.

RESULTS

The following 6 main themes were identified: a healthy lifestyle as students, access to mental health services, the role of mental health promotion campaigns, preferred mHealth engagement features, factors that influence the adoption of mHealth interventions, and cultural relevance of mHealth interventions. The interpretation of our findings shows that students were reluctant to use mental health services because of the fear of stigma and a possible lack of confidentiality.

CONCLUSIONS

Study participants viewed mHealth interventions for mental health as part of a blended intervention. They also felt that future mental health mHealth interventions should be more personalized and capable of managing adverse events such as suicidal ideation.
Sex and Age Differences in the Association Between Social Determinants of Health and Cardiovascular Health According to Household Income Among Mongolian Adults: Cross-Sectional Study (Preprint)
Authors: Shim Sun Young , Lee Hyeonkyeong
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

Although social determinants of health (SDH) are an underlying cause of poor cardiovascular health (CVH), there is insufficient evidence for the association between SDH and CVH, which varies by sex and age among Mongolian adults.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to explore whether education, household income, and health insurance were associated with CVH according to sex and age among Mongolian adults.

METHODS

The final sample included data on 5691 participants (male: n=2521. 44.3% and female: n=3170, 55.7%) aged 18-69 years from the 2019 World Health Organization STEPwise approach to noncommunicable disease risk-factor surveillance. CVH was measured using a modified version of Life’s Simple 7 with 4 health behaviors (cigarette smoking, BMI, physical activity, and a healthy diet) and 3 biological factors (blood pressure, fasting glucose, and total cholesterol blood levels) and classified into poor, intermediate, and ideal levels as recommended by the American Heart Association. Multinomial logistic regression analyses examined the associations between SDH and CVH by monthly equivalized household income after adjusting for age, sex, work status, area, history of myocardial infarction or stroke, use of aspirin, and use of statin. Subgroup analyses were conducted to examine the associations between SDH and CVH based on sex and age, considering monthly equivalized household income as a key variable.

RESULTS

Using the ideal level of CVH as a reference, among those with the lowest household income, having less than 12 years of education, and not having health insurance were associated with poor CVH (education level: odds ratio [OR] 2.42, 95% CI 1.30-4.51; P=.006; health insurance: OR 2.17, 95% CI 1.13-4.18; P=.02). These associations were more profound among female individuals (education level: OR 2.99, 95% CI 1.35-6.63; P=.007; health insurance: OR 2.54, 95% CI 1.09-5.90; P=.03) and those aged 18-44 years (education level: OR 3.22, 95% CI 1.54-6.72; P=.002; health insurance: OR 2.03, 95% CI 0.98-4.18; P=.06).

CONCLUSIONS

Participants in the lowest household income group with lower educational levels and without health insurance were more likely to have poor CVH, and these results were more pronounced in female individuals and young adults. These findings suggest the need to develop strategies for CVH equity in Mongolian female individuals and young adults that consider income levels, education levels, and health insurance.

Authors: Jing Xia , Patel Vimla L , Cimino James J , Shubrook Jay H , Zhou Yuchun , Draghi Brooke N , Ernst Mytchell A , Liu Chang , De Lacalle Sonsoles
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

Visualization can be a powerful tool to comprehend data sets, especially when they can be represented via hierarchical structures. Enhanced comprehension can facilitate the development of scientific hypotheses. However, the inclusion of excessive data can make visualizations overwhelming.

OBJECTIVE

We developed a visual interactive analytic tool for filtering and summarizing large health data sets coded with hierarchical terminologies (VIADS). In this study, we evaluated the usability of VIADS for visualizing data sets of patient diagnoses and procedures coded in the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM).

METHODS

We used mixed methods in the study. A group of 12 clinical researchers participated in the generation of data-driven hypotheses using the same data sets and time frame (a 1-hour training session and a 2-hour study session) utilizing VIADS via the think-aloud protocol. The audio and screen activities were recorded remotely. A modified version of the System Usability Scale (SUS) survey and a brief survey with open-ended questions were administered after the study to assess the usability of VIADS and verify their intense usage experience with VIADS.

RESULTS

The range of SUS scores was 37.5 to 87.5. The mean SUS score for VIADS was 71.88 (out of a possible 100, SD 14.62), and the median SUS was 75. The participants unanimously agreed that VIADS offers new perspectives on data sets (12/12, 100%), while 75% (8/12) agreed that VIADS facilitates understanding, presentation, and interpretation of underlying data sets. The comments on the utility of VIADS were positive and aligned well with the design objectives of VIADS. The answers to the open-ended questions in the modified SUS provided specific suggestions regarding potential improvements for VIADS, and the identified problems with usability were used to update the tool.

CONCLUSIONS

This usability study demonstrates that VIADS is a usable tool for analyzing secondary data sets with good average usability, good SUS score, and favorable utility. Currently, VIADS accepts data sets with hierarchical codes and their corresponding frequencies. Consequently, only specific types of use cases are supported by the analytical results. Participants agreed, however, that VIADS provides new perspectives on data sets and is relatively easy to use. The VIADS functionalities most appreciated by participants were the ability to filter, summarize, compare, and visualize data.

Published: November 2022

This study aimed to determine the effect of the concentrations of yellow sweet potato starch and aloe vera gel on the physical, mechanical, and barrier characteristics of the edible film, which is applied as packaging for strawberries. It was carried out using a factorial randomized block design (RBD) consisting of 2 stages where the first step was making edible with varied yellow sweet potato starch  and aloe vera gel, followed by the application of the selected edible film. The two factors used as edible films were yellow sweet potato starch (Ipomea batatas) at 2%, 3%, and 4% w/v, as well as aloe vera gel (Aloevera barbadensis) at 5%, 10%, and 15% v/v concentrations. The formulation was applied to the strawberries to examine their ability to extend shelf life. The parameters tested in the first step were thickness, color, solubility, transparency, tensile strength, elongation, and WVTR, while weight loss, texture, and color were examined in the second stage for four days of storage. The results showed an interaction between yellow sweet potato starch and aloe vera gel on thickness with a range of 0.07-0.16 mm, L value of 66.73-73.23, a* value  of 0.8-2.5, b* value of 11.1-14.4, solubility  of 33.24-56.16%, transparency 2.68-3.43 A/mm, tensile strength 0.08-0.70 MPa, elongation in the range of 10.95-51.14%, and WVTR of 3.97-4.90 g/m 2 /24 hours. This showed that the application of edible coating with the best treatment can prevent a decrease in weight loss, texture andcolor intensity as well as extend the shelf life of strawberries up to two times.

Comparative Analysis on Inclined Column by Using Staad Pro under Lateral Loads at Different Positions
Authors: Kumar Rajeev , Jain Neeraj Kumar
Published: November 2022

Abstract: Advances in construction technology, materials, structural systems and analytical methods for analysis and design facilitated the growth of high-rise buildings. Structural design of high-risebuildings is governed by lateral loads due to wind or earthquake. Lateral load resistance of structure is provided by interior structural system or exterior structural system. Usually shear wall core, braced frame and their combination with frames are interior system, where lateral load is resisted by centrally located elements. While framed tube, braced tube structural system resists lateral loads by elements provided on periphery of structure. It is very importantthat the selected structural system is such that the structural elements are utilized effectively while satisfying design requirements. Recently Inclined columns structural system is adopted in tall buildings due to its structural efficiency and flexibility in architectural planning. Compared to closely spaced vertical columns in framed tube. Inclined column should be placed at the exterior surface of the building. Due to inclined columns lateral loads are resisted by axial action of the diagonal compared to bending of vertical columns in framed structure. Inclined column structures generally do not require core because lateral shear canbe carried by the diagonals on the periphery of building. Analysis and design of G+9 storey building is presented. A regular floor plan of 36 m × 36 m size is considered. Staad pro software is used for modelling and analysis of structural members. All structural members aredesigned as per IS 456:2000 considering all load combinations. Dynamic along wind and across wind are considered for analysis and design of the structure. Load distribution in system is also studied for G+9 storey building. Similarly, analysis and design of G+9 storey vertical column structures is carried out with and without weak storey. Comparison ofanalysis results in terms of time period, top storey displacement and inter-storey drift will be presented in this study with or without inclined column in frame structure.

Assessment and mapping of atmospheric air quality in Russian regions using Earth remote sensing materials
Authors: Belousov S.K. , Tikunov V.S.
Published: November 2022

The authors present a method of joint and separate use of remote sensing data and state statistics to assess the quality of atmospheric air in Russian regions. The simultaneous use of information obtained from various sources and characterizing different aspects of air quality enables assessing the subject of the study better. The emission data was obtained from the State Report “About conditions and protection of the environment in the Russian Federation in 2019”, and that from the AURA/OMI was used to assess the pollutants concentrations. The methodology is based on the aggregation of various pollutants’ emission indicators and their concentration in the atmospheric column into integral indices using Cartesian distances to the worst unit. It is shown that each index separately does not make an objective picture of the air quality. A typological approach was applied to identify the regions similar in terms of the structure of anthropogenic impact on the atmospheric air, as well as to the content of major pollutants. Five typological groups for emissions and six ones for the content of pollutants were identified. The integral air quality index was calculated and the corresponding maps were compiled using heterogeneous data. It is shown that such an approach differentiates the regions much more clearly and makes it possible to draw more accurate conclusions on the quality of the atmospheric air.

This study aims to identify the base sector and its relationship to employment in Merangin District during the period of 2008-2015 using time series data analysis method with Location Quotient (LQ) and Pearson Correlation. Based on the results of the analysis that has been done in obtaining the result that LQ analysis produces three sectors whose average LQ value> 1 during the period of 2008-2015. The result of LQ analysis during the last eight years is the construction sector of 1.97, the agricultural sector at 1.40 and the services sector of 1.26 which became the leading sector in Merangin District. Relationship of base sector economic growth with employment absorption using Pearson Correlation Analysis formula there is only one sector base that is service sector having strong relation to employment absorption in Merangin Regency equal to 0,76 percent. Based on the results of correlation analysis can be concluded that the hypothesis about there is a positive and strong relationship between the growth of the base sector in Merangin district, can not be proved or no significant effect because not all the base sector has a strong correlation with employment.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the socio-economic conditions of women, what factors influence the decisions of working women and how much the income contribution of women working towards the household economy. In determining the location of the study, this study used a "multistage sampling" method. Furthermore, proportional sampling will be applied, which is sampling in each region in proportion to the number of samples in each region. This study uses the "Binnary Logistic Regression" model, because the dependent variable is a dummy variable.

The results of this study indicate that the average length of education of respondents 12 years, the number of dependents 4 people, 52.41 percent of respondents with perceptions of gender equality and 3.5 million/month the average income of respondents' husbands. The regression results show the variable number of dependents and gender instincts has a significant effect on the decision of married women to work. While the education level and husband's income variables did not significantly influence the decision of married women to work. And the biggest contribution is respondents who work in the private formal sector.
Perjanjian Investasi Bilateral: Self-Judging Sebagai Solusi?
Authors: Fakhriah Sakina , Afriansyah Arie

This article was prepared to formulate a strategy for formulating the drafting of exclusion clauses in bilateral investment treaties and legal policies that are in accordance with national security without violating international law. In its preparation, doctrinal legal research with legal objects is used which is conceptualized as a statutory rule based on the doctrine of positivism (normative juridical) schools. In the Discussion, it was found that Host Country has several options in implementing policies that put forward the national interest such as, asserting rights in agreements in good faith, including exceptions expressly, establishing definitions appropriately in agreements, mentioning special clause categories in agreements, conducting evaluations in a reasonable manner and self-judging. However, of the seven options already mentioned, self-judging is the most profitable option for host countries in implementing policies that orientate national interests. The self-judging clause is the choice of host country for two reasons. First, the clause gives the state discretion to unilaterally opt-out of international obligations and secondly, the evaluation of the elements for opt-out is not set out completely objectively from an external point of view, but only from the point of view of the state concerned.
An analysis of the institute of dissolution of the assembly: A case of the emerging democracies

This topic is about the process of parliamentary democracy. The institute of dissolution of the assembly in the Republic of Kosovo is complicated by a complex procedure. Dissolution of parliament is one of the most serious tools that may be used by the executive power against the parliament, where such power can dissolve the legislative council before the end of the term provided under the Constitution (Al Momani, 2018). This study aims to analyze the institute of dissolution of the assembly in developing countries and emerging democracies. The research model was based on the comparative study and normative method. Furthermore, this study focuses on 1) making a review analysis of the institute of dissolution of the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo, like a developing country; 2) identifying the differences and similarities between the institute of dissolution of the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo with that of Albania; 3) the most frequent reasons that leading to the dissolution of the parliament in Kosovo. The main findings of the study show that the most frequent reasons for the dissolution of parliament are weak parliamentary majorities in countries with developing democracies such as Kosovo and economic and political crises in the country as a result of economic and social problems.

Barnard’s Loop is a famous arc of Hα emission located in the Orion star-forming region. Here, we provide evidence of a possible formation mechanism for Barnard’s Loop and compare our results with recent work suggesting a major feedback event occurred in the region around 6 Myr ago. We present a 3D model of the large-scale Orion region, indicating coherent, radial, 3D expansion of the OBP-Near/Briceño-1 (OBP-B1) cluster in the middle of a large dust cavity. The large-scale gas in the region also appears to be expanding from a central point, originally proposed to be Orion X. OBP-B1 appears to serve as another possible center, and we evaluate whether Orion X or OBP-B1 is more likely to be the cause of the expansion. Recent 3D dust maps are used to characterize the 3D topology of the entire region, which shows Barnard’s Loop’s correspondence with a large dust cavity around the OPB-B1 cluster. The molecular clouds Orion A, Orion B, and Orion λ reside on the shell of this cavity. Simple estimates of gravitational effects from both stars and gas indicate that the expansion of this asymmetric cavity likely induced anisotropy in the kinematics of OBP-B1. We conclude that feedback from OBP-B1 has affected the structure of the Orion A, Orion B, and Orion λ molecular clouds and may have played a major role in the formation of Barnard’s Loop.

Published: November 2022

Background Intrapartum foetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring helps assess
foetal wellbeing. It relies on observers’ subjective assessments, with
variation in interpretations leading to variations in intrapartum care.
Objectives To summarize and evaluate inter- and intra-rater reliability
research on human interpretation of intrapartum FHR monitoring. Search
Strategy We searched for the terms ‘foetal heart rate monitoring’,
‘interpretation agreement’ and related concepts on Embase, Medline,
Maternity & Infant Care Database and CINAHL. Last search was 31st
January 2022. Selection Criteria We included studies that assess inter-
and intra-rater reliability of health professionals’ intrapartum FHR
monitoring and excluded studies including other assessment of foetal
wellbeing. Data collection and analysis We extracted data in reviewer
pairs using QAREL (quality appraisal tool for studies of diagnostic
reliability) forms. We performed a random effect meta-analysis to
present pooled estimates with 95% confidence intervals. Narrative
synthesis reported results not appropriate for meta-analysis. Main
results Forty-nine articles concerning continuous FHR monitoring were
included, all with considerable heterogeneity in quality and measures.
The pooled κ coefficient was 0.45 (95% CI 0.33-0.56) for FIGO
(International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) classifications.
Conclusions There are few high-quality studies that evaluate inter- and
intra-observer variations in intrapartum FHR monitoring. We found great
variation in reliability measures and noted methodological concerns in
the studies. Funding C. H. Engelhart received a PhD scholarship from the
Norwegian Research Centre for Women’s Health at Oslo University
Hospital. Keywords Inter-rater reliability and agreement, intra-rater
reliability and agreement, foetal heart rate monitoring, systematic
review, meta-analysis.
