Positive Shift of the Image of China in Recent Hollywood Blockbusters
Authors: Lyu Yafei
Published: November 2023

Hollywood will encounter some cultural policies when its films are imported to the Chinese film market on a revenue-sharing basis. These include a quota system, a censorship system and an uncertain release schedule. However, China has been the fastest growing film market since 2008 and the second largest film market in the world since 2012 (yet the current film industries worldwide are recovering from the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic). Despite the restrictive cultural policies, Hollywood, attracted by the promising profitability, have incorporated more Chinese roles and more plots about China to please the Chinese film regulators and audiences in order to gain access to the lucrative Chinese film market. Furthermore, the depiction of China has become more positive and diverse in recent Hollywood blockbusters compared with the Orientalist stereotypical images in the past. The author intends to examine the reasons behind the phenomenon through analysing the positively changing images of China from early Hollywood films to the recent Hollywood blockbusters. In fact, the positively changing depiction of China illustrates China and the US negotiating the dynamic process of cross-cultural exchange in economic and political terms through compromise, competition and collaboration.
The Impact of Gentrification Phenomena in Thailand
Authors: Nititerapad Chunyarat , Tochaiwat Kongkoon
Published: November 2023

The principal objective of this review paper was to study the impact of gentrification phenomena in Thailand using a research methodology combining a review of the existing literature and a desk analysis of case studies, focusing on two main interconnected contributions to debates on gentrification. First, understanding gentrification phenomena by examining the existing literature required a perspective on not only gentrification but also its stages and consequences. Second, particular attention was paid to the desk analysis of case studies of gentrification phenomena in Thailand to provide an overview and critical analysis. The results of this research show that gentrification has accelerated across the globe to become a central engine of urban development. Gentrification is a complex process that has significant and multifaceted impacts on urban communities. Gentrification can have positive impacts, such as improving the urban scenery by revitalising the neighbourhood’s blighted places and raising property values by making buildings more appealing and contemporary. However, gentrification can also have negative impacts due to critical issues that are neglected such as the displacement of original inhabitants, particularly vulnerable populations; the loss of tangible and intangible cultural heritage; social inequalities; environmental vulnerability; and inappropriate land consumption. All of these factors contribute to the fact that urban development in Thailand still runs into issues or roadblocks that keep it inefficient and unable to fully accomplish the intended objectives.

Authors: Chang Sarah , Gray Lucy , Alon Noy , Torous John
Published: November 2023

Digital mental health tools can collect vast amounts of data, but little research has been conducted on the impact of visualizing and sharing these data with patients in a clinical setting. In this study, semi-structured interviews were conducted via a HIPAA compliant platform with 10 patients and 5 clinicians in a digital mental health clinic about their experience with the integration of personal data visualizations into care. These interviews, spanning from April 2023 to July 2023, centered around the utility, meaningfulness, and clarity of the visualizations. The qualitative data were subsequently analyzed through an inductive approach for thematic analysis. Themes identified from patient interviews included the ability of visualizations to encourage reflection and action while also providing validation and motivation. Both clinicians and patients noted the importance of having an intermediary (digital navigator) to assist in interpreting the visualizations. The type of visualization preferred by patients varied from patient to patient. Overall, our findings highlight the value of utilizing visualizations in clinical care as a clear and effective way to communicate personal health data to patients and clinicians, suggesting the benefit of continued co-design with all parties.
The Relationship between a Company’s Cryptocurrency Holdings and Its Sustainable Performance—With a Focus on External and Internal Financial Issues and Cash
Authors: Lee Namryoung
Published: November 2023

This study explores the relationship between a company’s cryptocurrency holdings and its sustainable performance. The study also looks into how factors such as external financial crises, internal financial conditions, and cash shortages affect the link between possession of cryptocurrencies and company sustainable performance. The empirical findings showed that while holdings of cryptocurrencies may generally have a negative impact on a company’s performance, cryptocurrency holdings by businesses during an external financial crisis such as COVID-19 may have a positive relationship with the sustainable performance of the business. The findings support earlier research that suggested cryptocurrency ownership can have both positive and negative effects on a company, but that it can also boost firm performance in times of external financial hardship. By demonstrating a higher favorable connection for larger amounts of cryptocurrency holdings, these results can be further supported. The implications of holding cryptocurrencies on internal and external financial strain vary. Regarding internal financial issues, it was discovered that keeping cryptocurrencies had a favorable impact on sustainable performance for financially healthy businesses. It was also demonstrated that the company’s cryptocurrency holdings, which it keeps despite its cash shortage, had a detrimental impact on performance. Even in such a case, it was confirmed that holding cryptocurrencies has a favorable impact on a company’s sustainable performance when it is in good financial standing. The findings imply that, despite the unavoidable external financial challenges, the internal financial condition must be healthily maintained if a business engages in cryptocurrency.

Published: November 2023

This study examines the role of equitable management in preventing sexual harassment in the workplace and a loss of productivity during periods of crisis due to natural or social disasters. A structured survey of 445 women from 76 companies in five regions of northern Peru and a structural equation analysis show that companies that implement equitable management can mitigate the adverse effects of social conflicts and natural disasters. These findings indicate that equitable management is inversely related to counterproductive behaviors (β = −0.259, p < 0.001), sexual harassment at work (β = −0.349, p < 0.001), and turnover intention (β = −0.527, p < 0.001) and is positively associated with organizational citizenship behaviors (β = 0.204, p < 0.001) and psychological empowerment (β = 0.240, p < 0.001). Social conflicts and natural disasters, on the other hand, increase workplace sexual harassment (β = 0.244, p = 0.027) and intention to quit (β = 0.252, p < 0.001) and have a considerable impact on the loss of work productivity (β = 0.662, p < 0.001). However, in companies with fairer and more equitable management, this impact is much smaller and mitigated by these good practices. This suggests that equitable management protects against and prevents sexual harassment at work. In addition, it acts as a mechanism that enhances organizational citizenship behaviors and attitudes in the workplace which remain even in adverse external environments. This is an effective tool and strategy for maintaining productivity and organizational resilience in difficult times.
The Impact of Industrial Added Value on Energy Consumption and Carbon Dioxide Emissions: A Case Study of China
Authors: Xu Hua , Xia Bin , Jiang Shumin
Published: November 2023

China, as the world’s largest energy consumer, is faced with the growing pressure of carbon emission reduction. Promoting the sustainable transformation of the economy and society has become a major concern for all sectors of society. This paper assesses the potential impacts of industrial added value on energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from 2010 to 2020 in China using a multi-objective, linear programming model. The results show that when the industrial energy consumption is 3695.17 Mtce and the industrial CO2 emission is 9364.16 Mt, the goal of energy saving and emission reduction can be achieved. This corresponds to an annual average growth rate limit of industrial added value of 7.8%. In addition, we find that when the annual average growth rate of industrial added value is greater than 9.9%, changes in the annual average growth rate of industrial added value have no impact on economic development. However, industrial energy consumption intensity and industrial carbon emission intensity decrease with the increase in the annual average growth rate of sub-sectors. This study proposes that energy conservation, emission reduction, and a realization of the sustainable transformation of industry scheme need to be achieved by the Chinese government in order to to continue to promote the development of several sectors with low industrial energy consumption intensity and low industrial carbon emission intensity through policy implications.

Published: November 2023

The transition analysis and type division of landscape heritage are the effective management methods to achieve the overall conservation and targeted utilization of modern urban parks. In this study, Shenyang Zhongshan Park, the first modern urban park in Shenyang, was taken as the research object to explore the historical and cultural value of modern urban parks in Northeast China. The current status and transition characteristics of landscape heritage were analyzed, and the landscape heritage types were divided by their conservation and utilization evaluations. A total of 44 landscape heritages existed in Shenyang Zhongshan Park, including three categories, i.e., 15 historic sites, 20 cultural comprehensive sites, and 9 natural sites. Based on the IPA model, the landscape heritage was further divided into three subcategories, i.e., already designated for conservation (ADC), should be designated for conservation (SDC), and should be restricted scale (SRS). ADC was composed of one historic (Chiyoda water tower), two cultural comprehensive (water sources), and three natural (ancient trees) landscape heritages. SDC was a landscape heritage with long construction age, high importance, poor conservation, and high utilization, which can represent the cultural characteristics of the park and the need to speed up the improvement of its protection system. SRS weakened the cultural characteristics of the park. Its construction intensity should be reduced to highlight the core themes of the park (i.e., historical and cultural themes). In the future, modern urban parks should be conserved and utilized based on identifying different landscape heritage types. This study provides a theoretical basis for the management and development of modern urban parks from the perspective of conservation and utilization of landscape heritage.
Building a Blockchain-Based Decentralized Crowdfunding Platform for Social and Educational Causes in the Context of Sustainable Development
Authors: Tiganoaia Bogdan , Alexandru George-Madalin
Published: November 2023

Blockchain technology contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Education for sustainable development (ESD) is UNESCO’s education sector response to the urgent and dramatic challenges the planet faces. The traditional way of donating money to charitable causes, such as education, has been through centralized methods and organizations that lack transparency, and donors often do not have a clear understanding of how their contributions are being utilized. Blockchain technology, particularly, platforms like Ethereum and Polygon, has the potential to address the issues associated with traditional donation systems. This paper proposes a decentralized web3 application that utilizes blockchain technology to enhance transparency and efficiency in educational donations in the context of sustainable development. The platform leverages decentralized protocols and smart contracts to ensure secure and transparent transactions, enabling donors to track the utilization of their contributions and ensuring their funds reach their intended beneficiaries. This paper discusses the design and implementation of the platform, highlighting its features and potential for transforming the landscape of charitable donations. This software application can be used in education, and a demo plus some scenarios/work cases are presented/analyzed. The main results and contributions open other future research directions for not only authors.
Sustainable Water Management with Design and Economic Evaluation of Recycling Greywater at Abu Dhabi University—A Case Study on Decentralization
Authors: Madhuranthakam Chandra Mouli R. , AbuZaid Malak , Chaalal Omar , Ghannam Tala
Published: November 2023

Wastewater can be segregated as greywater and blackwater separately. The greywater generated in malls, restaurants, and university buildings is generally dilute, while it will later become concentrated when it is merged into the main sewage collection line. It would be more economical and environmentally friendly if the greywater is treated locally using a modular wastewater treatment facility that produces treated water amenable for other uses such as irrigation or horticulture. The objective of this article is to study the economic feasibility and design a decentralized plant that produces fresh water from greywater generated at the Abu Dhabi university campus located in the United Arab Emirates. The proposed unit will consist of a compact design of filtration, chemical treatment and disinfection processes that would generate treated wastewater that can be used for horticulture in and around the local campus or can be stored and supplied for irrigation purposes. Several parameters such as total suspended solids, biological oxygen demand, and chemical oxygen demand are measured and monitored throughout the entire process and are regulated by appropriate operations performed for each unit. This study shows that decentralization of greywater treatment is not only economical but also essential for the management of fresh water, which in turn assures environmental sustainability. By using coagulation, flocculation and chlorination with a 30 mg/L alum dosage, 0.6 mg/L of polyacrylamide and 0.12 mg/L of sodium hypochlorite, respectively, greywater is treated to meet the water specification for reusing it for horticulture. Further, a modular plant with an investment of USD 8 M is proved to process 90,000 tons of greywater with a 34% discounted rate of return.
Modeling Chlorine Decay in Reclaimed Water Distribution Systems—A Lisbon Area Case Study

Published: November 2023

Climate change has emerged as a global challenge, with consequences for the environment and societies. To mitigate its impacts, reclaimed water (RW) offers potential by reducing water withdrawal and minimizing pollution discharges in the environment. Safe RW requires disinfection and a sound management of chlorine residuals throughout the RW distribution systems (RWDSs). This study focuses on implementing and calibrating a chlorine decay model using EPANET-MSX in a real RWDS, incorporating both bulk and wall decays. The bulk decay accounts for reactions of monochloramine formation, auto-decomposition, and depletion by a parallel second-order mechanism where monochloramine reacts both with fast and slow organic matter reactive fractions. Two wall decays were considered in the RWDS, one in the tank, modeled through an overall wall decay constant, and one in the pipes, modeled through a wall decay constant. Field experiments were conducted to calibrate the complete model. This model was used as a support tool to diagnose the RWDS status condition and cleaning needs, and to manage its operation. Through simulated scenarios considering monochloramine wall decays similar to those observed in drinking water distribution systems, the model allowed predicting adequate chlorine dosing in summer and winter scenarios, so as to guarantee monochloramine concentrations between 1 mg/L and 5 mg/L through the network. These results point to the potential use of much lower doses than the ones currently applied.
Gregarious Decompositions of Complete Equipartite Graphs and Related Structures
Authors: Tuza Zsolt
Published: November 2023

In a finite mathematical structure with a given partition, a substructure is said to be gregarious if either it meets each partition class or it shares at most one element with each partition class. In this paper, we considered edge decompositions of graphs and hypergraphs into gregarious subgraphs and subhypergraphs. We mostly dealt with “complete equipartite” graphs and hypergraphs, where the vertex classes have the same size and precisely those edges or hyperedges of a fixed cardinality are present that do not contain more than one element from any class. Some related graph classes generated by product operations were also considered. The generalization to hypergraphs offers a wide open area for further research.

Arsenic is a natural toxin which is widely distributed in the environment, incurring diverse toxicities and health problems. Previous studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are also reported to contribute to As-induced adverse effects. LncRNAs are involved in the development of nerve injury, generally acting as sponges for microRNAs (miRNAs). This study aimed to investigate the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory networks associated with arsenic-induced nerve damage. A total of 40 male Wistar rats were exposed to different doses of arsenic for 12 weeks, and samples were collected for pathological observation and high-throughput sequencing. The ceRNA network was constructed using Cytoscape, and key genes were identified through the PPI network and CytoHubba methods. A real-time quantitative PCR assay was performed to validate gene expression levels. The results showed that subchronic exposure to arsenic in drinking water resulted in pathological and ultrastructural damage to the hippocampal tissue, including changes in neuron morphology, mitochondria, and synapses. Exposure to arsenic results in the dysregulation of LncRNA and mRNA expression in the hippocampal tissues of rats. These molecules participated in multiple ceRNA axes and formed a network of ceRNAs associated with nerve injury. This study also verified key molecules within the ceRNA network and provided preliminary evidence implicating the ENRNOT-00000022622-miR-206-3p-Bdnf axis in the mechanism of neural damage induced by arsenic in rats. These findings provide novel insights into the underlying mechanism of nervous system damage induced by arsenic exposure.

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is an avian coronavirus that causes a disease in chickens known as infectious bronchitis (IB). The pathogenesis of IBV and the host immune responses against it depend on multiple factors such as the IBV variant, breed and age of the chicken, and the environment provided by the management. Since there is limited knowledge about the influence of the sex of chickens in the pathogenesis of IBV, in this study we aim to compare IBV pathogenesis and host immune responses in young male and female chickens. One-week-old specific pathogen-free (SPF) White Leghorn male and female chickens were infected with Canadian Delmarva (DMV)/1639 IBV variant at a dose of 1 × 106 embryo infectious dose (EID)50 by the oculo-nasal route while maintaining uninfected controls, and these chickens were euthanized and sampled 4- and 11-days post-infection (dpi). No significant difference was observed between the infected male and female chickens in IBV shedding, IBV genome load in the trachea, lung, kidney, bursa of Fabricius (BF), thymus, spleen, and cecal tonsils (CT), and IBV-induced lesion in all the examined tissues at both 4 and 11 dpi. In addition, there was no significant difference in the percentage of IBV immune-positive area observed between the infected male and female chickens in all tissues except for the kidney, which expressed an increased level of IBV antigen in infected males compared with females at both 4 and 11 dpi. The percentage of B lymphocytes was not significantly different between infected male and female chickens in all the examined tissues. The percentage of CD8+ T cells was not significantly different between infected male and female chickens in all the examined tissues except in the trachea at 11 dpi, where female chickens had higher recruitment when compared with male chickens. Overall, although most of the findings of this study suggest that the sex of chickens does not play a significant role in the pathogenesis of IBV and the host immune response in young chickens, marginal differences in viral replication and host responses could be observed to indicate that IBV-induced infection in male chickens is more severe.
Patients’ experiences of GP consultations following the introduction of the new GP contract in Scotland: a cross-sectional survey
Authors: Sweeney Kieran D , Donaghy Eddie , Henderson David , Huang Huayi , Wang Harry HX , Thompson Andrew , Guthrie Bruce , Mercer Stewart W
Published: November 2023

Background

The new Scottish GP contract commenced in April 2018 with a stated aim of mitigating health inequalities.

Aim

To determine the health characteristics and experiences of patients consulting GPs in deprived urban (DU), affluent urban (AU), and remote and rural (RR) areas of Scotland.

Design and setting

In 2022, a postal survey of a random sample of adult patients from 12 practices who had consulted a GP within the previous 30 days was undertaken.

Method

Patient characteristics and consultation experiences in the three areas (DU, AU, RR) were evaluated using validated measures including the Consultation and Relational Empathy (CARE) Measure and Patient Enablement Instrument (PEI).

Results

In total, 1053 responses were received. In DU areas, multimorbidity was more common (78% versus 58% AU versus 68% RR,P<0.01), complex presentations (where the consultation addressed both psychosocial and physical problems) were more likely (16% versus 10% AU versus 11% RR,P<0.05), and more consultations were conducted by telephone (42% versus 31% AU versus 31% RR,P<0.01). Patients in DU areas reported lower satisfaction (82% DU completely, very, or fairly satisfied versus 90% AU versus 86% RR,P<0.01), lower perceived GP empathy (mean CARE score 38.9 versus 42.1 AU versus 40.1 RR,P<0.05), lower enablement (mean PEI score 2.6 versus 3.2 AU versus 2.8 RR,P<0.01), and less symptom improvement (P<0.01) than those in AU or RR areas. Face-to-face consultations were associated with significantly higher satisfaction, enablement, and perceived GP empathy than telephone consultations in RR areas (allP<0.05).

Conclusion

Four years after the start of the new GP contract in Scotland, patients’ experiences of GP consultations suggest that the inverse care law persists.

Published: November 2023

Мигрень - неврологическое заболевание, характеризующееся многофазными приступами головной боли. Показано, что повышение уровня гомоцистеина приводит к усилению чувствительности пациентов к мигрени с аурой. В данной работе анализировали распространяющуюся кортикальную депрессию у крыс с гипергомоцистеинемией в модели хронической мигрени, вызванной введением нитроглицерина. Исследование выполнено на крысах самцах линии Wistar. Пренатальная гипергомоцистеинемия была вызвана содержанием самок на высокометиониновой диете. Хроническая мигрень моделировалась путём введения нитроглицерина внутрибрюшинно через день на протяжение 9 дней. Кортикальная депрессия вызывалась аппликацией KCl на поверхность твёрдой мозговой оболочки. Установлено, что крысы с повышенным уровнем гомоцистеина характеризовались более высокой амплитудой, и длительностью, и большим временем нарастания распространяющейся кортикальной депрессии по сравнению с контрольными животными. Можно предположить, что высокий уровень гомоцистеина в плазме обуславливает высокую чувствительность к распространяющейся кортикальной депрессии.

The quality production of vegetable crops heavily reliant on faster and consistent germination of seeds.  Due to harder seed coat, the seed germination and uniform seedling establishment in the field is always a problem in okra. Hydro-priming is one of the ideal, cheapest and environmentally friendly strategies to enhance the germination process of okra. The field trial was therefore designed in Department of Horticulture, Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam, Pakistan during 2022 to test the influence of seed hydro-priming durations on seed germination and vegetative growth of okra. The single factor randomized complete block design with three replications was followed to perform the trial. The seeds of Sabz pari, one of the most popular and widely grown varieties of the country were primed by applying six hydro-priming durations (viz; P1; Control, P2: 12 hours, P3: 18 hours, P4: 24 hours, P5: 36 hours, and P6: 48 hours). Signification variation was found in most of the traits with the application of hydro-priming durations. The hydro-priming duration (48 hours) showed maximum water uptake and seed germination whereas, unprimed seed (control) recorded lower water uptake and germination. Likewise, tallest plants with maximum vigour with respect to seedling vigour index was recorded in 48 hours hydro-priming duration followed by 36 hours hydro-priming duration whereas smallest plant with less vigour was observed in control. The 48 hours priming duration also showed positive effect on leaf and root growth and development. Thus it is suggested that 48 hours seed hydro-priming duration may be practiced to enhance the germination and better vegetative growth of okra

El estudio del asentamiento de Fuente de la Mora (Madrid, España) es crucial para la investigación de las zonas rurales dada sus características. Esto nos ha llevado a proponer una nueva interpretación de este enclave, debido mayormente a su situación geográfica, a los materiales en él encontrados y a los rastros de la islamización que se han documentado. Esto nos permite determinar un nuevo tipo de jerarquización en el territorio del centro peninsular ibérico y dar otra visión sobre el concepto de Arqueología Rural y del término de campesinado. Para poder alcanzar estos resultados se ha decido estudiar este asentamiento a través de la Arqueología del Paisaje y de un estudio detallado de los materiales hallados en el yacimiento durante las excavaciones de rescate, sobre todo cerámicos. Aunque la información sobre este asentamiento es parcial, los restos arqueológicos hallados nos permiten sugerir que pudo tratarse de un asentamiento en altura (hilltop) de cierta importancia, que ayudó en la administración del territorio de la Marca Media durante la primera fase de la época emiral de al-Ándalus.

Doenças cardiovasculares representam condições clínicas que estão relacionadas com qualidade de vida e bem-estar, e a preocupação com tais doenças torna-se tarefa necessária, de modo a retardar o aparecimento, controlar a sintomatologia e/ou evitar a progressão. Diversas doenças de natureza cardiovascular são capazes de promover alterações clínicas variáveis, regionais e/ou sistêmicas, a depender da gravidade e progressão. Dentre essas doenças, a hipertensão arterial sistêmica merece destaque devido à possibilidade de repercussão hemodinâmica, de forma a interferir de modo deletério na qualidade de vida do paciente. A hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) é caracterizada pelo incremento nos valores pressóricos de forma persistente em comparação com o intervalo de referência para a espécie, com possibilidade de repercussão orgânica. A HAS pode ser ainda classificada em três tipos, em hipertensão situacional, HAS primária e secundária, sendo o primeiro apenas momentâneo e principalmente estresse mediado. Os sinais clínicos associados à hipertensão sistêmica são derivados principalmente de condições de base. O diagnóstico é baseado na mensuração consecutiva dos valores de pressão por meio de manguitos específicos e em concordância com a circunferência do membro a ser avaliado. Ressalta-se que falsos diagnósticos de HAS prejudicam a percepção da condição e a busca de estratégias de tratamento efetivas. O tratamento de HAS baseia-se na redução dos valores de pressão, no controle de possíveis sinais associados, bem como no decréscimo no impacto em órgãos e sistemas. O presente artigo tem por objetivo descrever e caracterizar a hipertensão arterial sistêmica e as condutas para identificação, avaliação, controle e manejo terapêutico para cães e gatos.

Existem poucas informações disponíveis sobre a fisiologia e a estrutura do coração em animais selvagens da família dos canídeos selvagens, e esses dados desempenham um papel fundamental no tratamento das cardiopatias, em pesquisas relacionadas à fisiopatologia e na preservação dessas espécies. O presente estudo objetivou realizar avaliação eletrocardiográfica em cachorros-do-mato, relatando e caracterizando parâmetros do eletrocardiograma (ECG) da espécie. Foram avaliados dez cachorros-do-mato (Cerdocyon thous) hígidos. Os animais foram capturados com puçá e contidos quimicamente com associação midazolam e cetamina. Após passarem por exame físico, os cães foram então submetidos aos exames de ECG, posicionados em decúbito lateral direito, avaliando-se frequência e ritmo cardíaco, amplitude de ondas e duração dos intervalos. Os animais apresentaram frequência cardíaca de 201,7±29,2, com amplitude de ondas, de 0,062 à 0,2mV para onda P; 0,023 à 0,42mV para onda Q; 0,21 à 0,97mV para onda R e zero a 0,14mV para onda S. O seguimento ST em quatro animais variou de 0,02 a 0,125 mV, três animais com 0,03 à 0,047mV. A onda T foi positiva em nove indivíduos (0,06 a 0,44 mV) e negativa em um indivíduo (0,156 mV). As variações eletrocardiográficas foram similares às de cães domésticos. É necessário consolidar com maior número amostral os dados cardíacos apresentados neste estudo.

العلاقة بين رضا الطلاب عن برنامج التمريض والحالة العاطفية لدى طلاب التمريض الجامعيين
Authors: الطراونة فلاح زعل , زياديين نهى كمال
Published: November 2023

الخلفية: من الثابت أن طلاب التمريض قد يتعرضون لاضطرابات عاطفية لأسباب عديدة. ومع ذلك، هناك حاجة لفحص العلاقة بين رضا طلاب التمريض عن برنامج التمريض وحالتهم العاطفية في برنامج تمريض معين.

الهدف: تحديد مستوى رضا طلاب التمريض عن برنامج التمريض وتقصي العلاقة بين رضا طلاب التمريض عن برنامج التمريض وحالتهم العاطفية.

الأساليب: تم استخدام تصميم دراسة الارتباط المقطعي لتشـــــــــــمل 372 طالبًا من كلـــــــــــــية التمريض تم اختيارهم لتمثيل طلاب التمريض الأردنيين. تم استخدام مقياس الاكتئاب والقلق والتوتر-42 عنصرًا (DASS-42) لتقييم الاستبيان العاطفي بجانب الاستبيان لتقييم رضا الطلاب عن برنامج التمريض.

النتائج: كان مستوى الرضا عن برنامج التمريض منخفضًا (M = 2.19 ، SD = 1.18) ، واضطراب الحالة الانفعالية كان خفيفًا (M = 2.35، SD = 0.79). توجد علاقة ارتباط موجبة ودلالة إحصائياً بين رضا الطلاب عن برنامج التمريض وحالتهم العاطفية مقاسة بـ (DASS-42) حيث بلغت قيمة معامل ارتباط بيرسون (0.879).

الخلاصة: أوضحت هذه الدراسة أن رضا الطلاب عن برنامج التمريض يرتبط ارتباطًا إيجابيًا بحالتهم العاطفية من حيث الاكتئاب والقلق والتوتر. هذه النتيجة مثيرة للقلق فيما يتعلق بأهمية تقليل مخاطر الاكتئاب والقلق والتوتر بين طلاب التمريض.

Image Transmission Analysis using CSS Modulation Scheme
Authors:   DEETC, Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa and Centre of Technology and Systems, Lisbon, Portugal., Fialho Vitor
Published: November 2023

Image transmission through low-speed communication systems has been a challenge to overcome in the last few years. Actual IoT technologies are supported by LPWAN, where power consumption is a primary issue to consider. The image transmission study presented in this paper is based on Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) modulation scheme used by LoRa. A simulation model for image transmission is presented, where the communication channel is based on additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), with a configurable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This model allows the modification of several LoRa CSS parameters such as: spreading factor (SF) bandwidth (BW) and code rate (CR). The adopted metrics for the evaluation of the proposed methodology are symbol error rate (SER), bit error rate (BER) and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). The first two figures of merit allow the study of the transmission quality and with the last one is possible to infer the received image quality. For a SF=8 and SNR=-10 dB the obtained values of SER and BER are 0.001 1e-4, respectively. These values will lead to a PSNR = 21 dB.
