Coping strategies for bullying: a phenomenology of student perceptions
Authors: Nurhayati Riana
Published: August 2024

Efforts to reduce bullying in schools can be made by making strategies. However, so far, the strategies to overcome bullying are still seen from the teacher's point of view, and we need to see strategies to overcome bullying from students' perceptions. This study aims to find students' strategies for overcoming bullying. This research uses a qualitative approach with the type of phenomenology. The informants were high school and vocational high school students in Java. Data were collected through interviews, forum group discussions, and open-ended questionnaires. Data analysis used interactive analysis techniques. Data validity used triangulation of sources and techniques. The results showed that students' strategies to overcome bullying were carried out through social environment, internal factors, and external factors. The most effective strategies to overcome bullying are reporting to parents, teachers, or other students, being indifferent, establishing positive friendships, and focusing on the goals to be achieved. Supporting factors for the success of this strategy are the support system, guidance and counseling, and school socialization regarding anti-bullying. The inhibiting factors are school rules that still need to be firm, school culture that has not changed, and there is still an assumption that bullying is regular.Keywords: strategies bullying, phenomenology, student perceptions

Authors: Abdelwahed Nadia A. Abdelmegeed , Ramish Muhammad Sufyan
Published: August 2024

In the present era of digitalization, technology plays a prominent role in relaxation and brain development (BD), specifically for university students. The present study explores the impact of technology use and digital characteristics (DC) in developing students' BD. We applied the quantitative methods; the study collected 328 samples from Egypt's different public sector universities through a questionnaire. Using path analysis through analysis of moment structures (AMOS), the results demonstrate a positive effect of rapid communication technology (RCT), web resource use (WRU), and digital characteristics (DC) on BD. On the other hand, multimedia creation (MC) was found to be the negative predictor of BD among the medical students of Egyptian public sector universities. The study outcomes would assist in developing strategies that enhance the technology for reducing students' tensions and study pressures. Moreover, the study would encourage the students to utilize digital technology to strengthen their BD and cognitive development. Finally, the study's findings would contribute to the literature on management, medical science, and information technology and add its share by adding empirical evidence from a developing context, especially from medical institutions.

Authors: Taira Kimi Gabriella , Wang Madelyn , Guo William , Kam Olivia , Kaufmann Tara
Published: August 2024

Background

Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection that tends to recur. Previous studies have identified several risk factors that may contribute to its pathogenesis. Obesity is an increasingly prevalent worldwide disease that has been associated with skin and soft tissue infections.

Objective

The aim of our systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the association of cellulitis with obesity.

Methods

The Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science databases were searched for the relevant studies from the inception of each respective database to March 13, 2021. Case-control, cross-sectional, or cohort studies that examined the odds or risk of increased BMI in patients with cellulitis were included. This study was carried out in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the risk of bias in included studies.

Results

In total, 9 case-control studies were included in our quantitative meta-analysis with a total of 68,148 study participants. A significant association was found between cellulitis and obesity (pooled odds ratio [OR] 2.67, 95% CI 1.91-3.71). No significant association was observed between cellulitis and being overweight (pooled OR 1.69, 95% CI 0.99-2.88). Patients with cellulitis were also found to have 1.63-fold increased odds of being male (pooled OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.12-2.38).

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that cellulitis is significantly associated with obesity. Maintaining a healthy BMI may be indicated for patients presenting with cellulitis.
Efficacy of Real-Time Feedback Exercise Therapy in Patients Following Total Hip Arthroplasty: Protocol for a Pilot Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Widhalm Klaus , Maul Lukas , Durstberger Sebastian , Putz Peter , Leder-Berg Sebastian , Kainz Hans , Augat Peter
Published: August 2024

Background

Osteoarthritis of the hip joint is an increasing functional and health-related problem. The most common surgical treatment is hip replacement to reduce pain and improve function. Rehabilitation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is not regulated in Austria and mostly depends on the patient’s own initiative and possibilities. Functional deficits, such as valgus thrust of the leg, functional Trendelenburg gait, or Duchenne limp, are characteristic symptoms before and, due to the performance learning effect prior to surgery, also after the operation. Addressing these deficits is possible through neuromuscular-focused exercise therapy. The efficacy of such therapy relies significantly on the quality of performance, the frequency of exercise, and the duration of engagement. Enhancing sustainability is achievable through increased motivation and real-time feedback (RTF) on exercise execution facilitated by digital feedback systems.

Objective

This study will be performed to quantify the medium-term effectiveness of digital home exercise feedback systems on functional performance following THA.

Methods

A clinical trial with a cluster-randomized, 2-arm, parallel-group design with an 8-week intervention phase and subsequent follow-ups at 3 and 6 months postsurgery will be conducted. Feedback during exercising will be provided through a blended-care program, combining a supervised group exercise program with a self-developed digital feedback system for home exercise. In total, 70 patients will be recruited for baseline. The primary outcome parameters will be the frontal knee range of motion, pelvic obliquity, and lateral trunk lean. Secondary outcomes will be the sum scores of patient-reported outcomes and relevant kinematic, kinetic, and spatiotemporal parameters.

Results

The trial started in January 2024, and the first results are anticipated to be published by June 2025. RTF-supported home exercise is expected to improve exercise execution quality and therapeutic adherence compared to using paper instructions for excise guidance.

Conclusions

The anticipated findings of this study aim to offer new insights into the effect of a blended-care program incorporating digital RTF on exercise therapy after unilateral THA, in addition to knowledge on the functional status 3 and 6 months postsurgery, for further improvement in the development of rehabilitation guidelines following THA.

Design of a Temporally Augmented Text Messaging Bot to Improve Adolescents’ Physical Activity and Engagement: Proof-of-Concept Study
Authors: Ortega Adrian , Cushing Christopher C
Published: August 2024

Background

Digital interventions hold promise for improving physical activity in adolescents. However, a lack of empirical decision points (eg, timing of intervention prompts) is an evidence gap in the optimization of digital physical activity interventions.

Objective

The study examined the feasibility and acceptability, as well as the technical and functional reliability, of and participant engagement with a digital intervention that aligned its decision points to occur during times when adolescents typically exercise. This study also explored the impact of the intervention on adolescents’ moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) levels. Consistent with the Obesity-Related Behavioral Interventions Trials (ORBIT) model, the primary goal of the study was to identify opportunities to refine the intervention for preparation for future trials.

Methods

Ten adolescents completed a 7-day baseline monitoring period and Temporally Augmented Goal Setting (TAGS), a 20-day digital physical activity intervention that included a midday self-monitoring message that occurred when adolescents typically start to exercise (3 PM). Participants wore an accelerometer to measure their MVPA during the intervention. Participants completed questionnaires about the acceptability of the platform. Rates of recruitment and attrition (feasibility), user and technological errors (reliability), and engagement (average number of text message responses to the midday self-monitoring message) were calculated. The investigation team performed multilevel models to explore the effect of TAGS on MVPA levels from preintervention to intervention. In addition, as exploratory analyses, participants were matched to adolescents who previously completed a similar intervention, Network Underwritten Dynamic Goals Engine (NUDGE), without the midday self-monitoring message, to explore differences in MVPA between interventions.

Results

The TAGS intervention was mostly feasible, acceptable, and technically and functionally reliable. Adolescents showed adequate levels of engagement. Preintervention to intervention changes in MVPA were small (approximately a 2-minute change). Exploratory analyses revealed no greater benefit of TAGS on MVPA compared with NUDGE.

Conclusions

TAGS shows promise for future trials with additional refinements given its feasibility, acceptability, technical and functional reliability, participants’ rates of engagement, and the relative MVPA improvements. Opportunities to strengthen TAGS include reducing the burden of wearing devices and incorporating of other strategies at the 3 PM decision point. Further optimization of TAGS will inform the design of a Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention for adolescent physical activity and prepare the intervention for more rigorous testing.

A Review on Analysis of Seismic Impact of Improvements with Rigid and Semi Rigid RC Structure with having Podium
Authors: Dange Mr. Mohit Bharat
Published: August 2024

Abstract: The growing population and limited land in urban areas are driving up demand for towering buildings on a daily basis. India and other emerging countries are seeing an increase in the use of tall buildings. Land becomes unavailable for further expansion in any city, particularly in major cities, beyond a certain point of horizontal development. Consequently, multi-story skyscrapers gained popularity as a means of optimising land use. The design principles used for low- and mediumrise structures are not applicable to high-rise skyscrapers. Tall structures demand the most advanced design techniques since they are intricate engineering tasks. Architects and engineers proposed/put forward the new idea of Podium sort constructions in order to meet the demands of both the growing population and the present bye-laws requiring a minimum parking space for such types of buildings. These days, tower-podium style structures are quite common since they provide for the best possible use of available space on the property and the financial leverage to meet the need for more commercial space. A portion of a structure known as a podium has lateral load resistance greater than that of a tower.
Incorporation of Jute Fiber in Concrete: A Literature Review
Authors: Shrestha Ram Krishna
Published: August 2024

Abstract: This systematic literature review delves into the incorporation of jute fiber as a reinforcement material in concrete, examining its benefits, challenges, and potential applications. Jute fiber, a natural and biodegradable material, presents an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to synthetic fibers commonly used in concrete reinforcement. The utilization of jute fibers in concrete not only enhances its mechanical properties but also promotes sustainable construction practices, addressing the growing need for environmentally responsible building materials. The review synthesizes existing research on the physical, mechanical, and durability properties of jute fiber-reinforced concrete (JFRC). It explores how the unique characteristics of jute fibers, such as their high tensile strength and low density, contribute to improved concrete performance, particularly in terms of tensile and flexural strength. The addition of jute fibers helps mitigate crack propagation and enhances the ductility of concrete, making it more resilient to dynamic loads. Despite these benefits, challenges such as the hydrophilic nature of jute fibers, which can lead to increased water absorption and potential durability issues, are also addressed. Various chemical treatments and surface modifications have been explored to improve the compatibility of jute fibers with the cement matrix and enhance the overall durability of JFRC

Reseña
El rumor, el humor y el amor en tiempos de la influenza (México, 2009) [2022]
Authors: Luis Francisco Vázquez Guillén
Published: August 2024

Resulta inevitable, al leer el libro que aquí se reseña, recordar lo que apenas hace cuatro años sucedió en la pandemia de Covid-19. Tanto la emergencia sanitaria de 2020 con el coronavirus como la de 2009 con el virus de influenza AH1N1 incidieron significativamente en la manera en que, en aquellos momentos, nos relacionamos con nuestra cotidianidad. No obstante, una vez que las autoridades gubernamentales, así como los medios de comunicación, dejaron de poner énfasis sobre estos temas, la experiencia de lo acontecido pareció entrar en ese vaivén entre el recuerdo y el olvido que caracteriza a la memoria colectiva. Así, vale la pena reflexionar la pandemia como un asunto de memoria, y como tal debemos considerar que esta se construye en red y desde distintas dimensiones, es decir, a partir de las percepciones, sentimientos y pensamientos de diversos actores, y no desde un punto de vista hegemónico.
Mediating effect of cynicism on the relationship between workplace loneliness and behavioral outcomes
Authors: Chung Yang Woon , Kim Jung Eun , Yun Jeong Kwon
Published: August 2024

Although loneliness has been researched for several decades, little is known about the proximal and distal outcomes of loneliness at work. Therefore, this study examined the mediating effect of employee cynicism on the relationships of workplace loneliness with in-role behavior, voice
behavior, and deviant behavior. We used a three-wave time-lagged method of data collection with a sample of 225 police officers in South Korea. The results showed that cynicism significantly mediated each of the hypothesized relationships. Thus, loneliness enhanced employee cynicism, as lonely
police officers were more likely to doubt the significance of their job and to become less involved with their work. Subsequently, cynical police officers were less likely to engage in in-role behavior and voice behavior, and more likely to engage in deviant behavior. Implications of the findings
are discussed.
Abusive supervision and safety behavior in high-risk industries: The moderating role of trait mindfulness
Authors: Hu Minqiao , Zhang Xinyue , Wu Xiongfu , Qiu Shuang
Published: August 2024

Drawing on social exchange theory, we proposed a dual-stage moderated mediation framework to examine the impact of abusive supervision on employee safety behavior in high-risk industries. We conducted a survey of 652 frontline employees from 32 chemical establishments in southwest China
using scales assessing abusive supervision, burnout, employee safety behavior, and trait mindfulness. Our results revealed that abusive supervision had detrimental effects on employee safety behavior, with burnout partially mediating this relationship. Trait mindfulness emerged as a mitigating
factor that attenuated the negative influence of abusive supervision and subsequent burnout on employee safety behavior. The findings shed light on the harmful consequences of abusive supervision within the transitional Chinese chemical industry landscape and provide valuable insights for
enhancing leadership quality and promoting mindfulness-based employee initiatives.

Authors: Sideridis Georgios , Alghamdi Mohammed
Published: August 2024

We evaluated the use of the Rasch model in the scoring and scaling of the context questionnaire scales from the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study 2021 cohort. Focusing on the bullying scale of the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study, we contrasted polytomous
item response theory models using free (two-parameter logistic modeling) and fixed (Rasch modeling) discrimination parameters. Our analyses included data from 354,074 students from 63 countries or entities. Across all countries and entities, the Rasch-based model significantly distorted levels
of bullying. The rank ordering of countries was consistent between models in 32 of the cases (50.8%), while in other cases there were changes in rank of up to five places. This study provides a robust basis for evidence-based decisions on whether a country is lagging or exceeding the global
norm in aberrant behaviors such as bullying.
Proactive personality and well-being: The mediating role of career calling and meaning in life
Authors: Gong Yue , You Xuqun
Published: August 2024

We explored whether career calling and meaning in life act as mediators of the link between proactive personality and well-being. Participants were 963 Chinese soldiers, all of whom were men. Results of a survey showed that proactive personality was positively and significantly associated
with career calling and meaning in life, and career calling and meaning in life were positively and significantly associated with well-being. Career calling and meaning in life fully and independently mediated the impact of proactive personality on well-being. Furthermore, the serial mediation
model showed that proactive personality influenced well-being via the chain effect of career calling on meaning in life. These results indicate that career calling and meaning in life could be important factors for deeper understanding of the links between proactive personality and well-being,
especially among male Chinese soldiers.

mediating role of peer relationships within this association through the development of a hypothesized research model. By conducting a quantitative investigation involving 303 WeChat users, we assessed the proposed hypotheses using structural equation modeling. The findings revealed that WeChat
usage had an indirect positive relationship with psychological well-being, as mediated by peer relationships. This study contributes fresh insight into the dynamic between WeChat usage and psychological well-being within the context of present-day mobile-mediated environments.
Determinants of players' stickiness in online sports simulation games: Evidence from China
Authors: Yang Yan , Jin Shan
Published: August 2024

Leveraging uses and gratification theory, we explored the key determinants of players' stickiness in online sports simulation games (OSSG). We collected data in China through an online survey and used structural equation modeling to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that gratification
of both enjoyment and achievement needs were key antecedents to players' stickiness in OSSG, and the role of enjoyment was stronger than that of achievement. Players' sports knowledge and the fantasy level of OSSG had a significant positive impact on gratification of both needs, whereas players'
fanship and novelty level of OSSG had a significant positive influence on enjoyment need gratification. This study contributes to e-sports research by uncovering the motivations for stickiness in OSSG and by extending uses and gratification theory in e-sports context.

Escherichia coli strain vitality and proliferation were assessed using spectrophotometer absorbance readings after treatment.
Results
On the treated strains, there was a discernible dose-dependent inhibitory effect. The absorption dropped off significantly from 0.310 ± 0.082 when compared to the positive control (0 mg/ml) to 0.102 ± 0.017 (p<0.001) following the administration of 20 mg/ml of vitamin C. Ascorbic acid at a 5 mg/ml concentration demonstrated the greatest inhibition from 0.310 ± 0.082 to 0.125 ± 0.025 (p<0.001), despite the little incremental changes. Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli exhibited the most amount of inhibition, according to our findings.
Conclusion
In the end, the experiment showed that ascorbic acid inhibits Escherichia coli growth. According to the studies, at lower doses, ascorbic acid may be able to limit the growth of certain strains of Escherichia coli. To find out how much ascorbic acid is best consumed in human situations or to comprehend the underlying mechanisms that contribute to its beneficial benefits, more research is needed.

Objective: Prediction of the effect of the hormone progesterone on pregnancy results that measured on the day of transfer of fresh and frozen embryos.
 
Method: This research at reproductive centres in Baghdad from May 2022 to April 2023 examined how serum progesterone levels affect embryo transfers in ICSI procedures in 100 fresh or frozen cycle women. The study examined clinical data and endometrial preparation techniques to determine if progesterone levels affect pregnancy rates. Data were analysed using SPSS to determine how pre-transfer hormonal levels affected implantation and pregnancy outcomes. Participants were selected according on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study shows that progesterone is essential for IVF embryo transfers.
 
Results: Compared to frozen cycles in females, fresh cycles had greater mean age and progesterone levels but lower COC number and 2PN levels, with no changes in BMI, MII, or injectable MII. Frozen cycles produced more good-grade embryos, whereas fresh cycles produced more fair-grade embryos. There were no differences in the number of "C" embryos. Fresh cycle groups had greater pregnancy rates (59.1%) than frozen cycle groups (38.9%), but progesterone levels did not change between cycle types.
 
Conclusion: The study found that fresh cycles include older participants, greater progesterone but lower COC and 2PN levels, and higher pregnancy rates than frozen cycles. BMI, MII levels, embryo count, poor grade "C" embryos, and progesterone levels associated to pregnancy outcomes did not differ across groups.
Porque a arte importa: como o enativismo explica o valor cognitivo da arte
Authors: Conceição Thiago Gruner
Published: August 2024

Por que andamos milhares de quilômetros para estar na presença de um artista, de uma pintura ou escultura? Por que ficamos por horas de pé, ou mesmo sentados, ouvindo um concerto? Por que um mesmo autor pinta e repinta o mesmo tema, ou um leitor obsessivamente lê e relê o mesmo livro? Por que a arte importa para nós? Este livro debruça-se sobre esse problema filosófico e defende que a arte possui um valor cognitivo. Ele fica claro quando adotamos uma certa e recente filosofia da cognição: o enativismo. Formas de expressão como pintura, escultura, dança e música tem um papel central nas comunidades humanas porque transcendem a estética para moldar nossa cognição social, forjar identidades pessoais e sociais, e nos guiar rumo a um entendimento mais profundo de nossa própria vida. Por trás deste livro está a intuição de que a arte contribui com nosso modo de estar no mundo – nossa experiência dele – e nosso modo de lidar com esse mesmo mundo. Em um sentido importante, a arte nos ensina a viver a vida que é própria dos seres humanos.

Aim/purpose – This article analyzes the impact of gamification on staff motivation, performance, and corporate culture at the international level. It also examines the inte- gration of advanced technologies such as AI (artificial intelligence), AR (augmented reality), and VR (virtual reality) into gamification strategies to enhance their effective- ness. Design/methodology/approach – The study utilizes a semi-systematic literature review, synthesizing information from various scientific sources. This approach allows for a comprehensive analysis of gamification’s impact on employee engagement and produc- tivity, focusing on incorporating advanced technologies. Findings – The research identified that gamification significantly enhances employee motivation and performance. It highlights the additional benefits of AI-driven personali- zation, AR, and VR, which create immersive and adaptive learning environments. A framework for gamification implementation in business is proposed, including six steps such as (1) define objectives, (2) analyze the audience, (3) select game elements, (4) develop a game mechanism, (5) implement and train, (6) collect feedback and adapt. Research implications/limitations – The study’s reliance on a semi-systematic litera- ture review may not capture all practical nuances and recent advancements. Future em- pirical research involving direct observation within organizations is recommended. Ad- ditionally, the findings are based on theoretical analyses and case studies, which may not fully represent the diversity of real-world applications across different industries and cultural settings. Originality/value/contribution – This research contributes to the existing literature by expanding traditional gamification models to include advanced technologies. It provides actionable insights for businesses seeking to implement gamification strategies, offering examples and recommendations for practice. The study underscores the need for strategic and context-specific implementation of gamification to ensure its effectiveness. Keywords: gamification, staff motivation, HR management, artificial intelligence, virtual reality in working process. JEL Classification: M12, M14, M20.
