Published: July 2023

The depth is important for vessel navigation at sea. Currently, most vessels use electronic navigation charts to navigate at sea. In coastal areas, especially close to shallow water areas, the dynamic change of the water level is very important to safe navigation. Ships calculate the change of water level by using up-to-date tide tables, to obtain the dynamic water depth in the channels. However, the depth caused by the tide and non-tidal components may reach several meters in some seas, causing the dynamic depth below the safety depth, which can easily lead to grounding of vessels stranding accidents. The channel is regularly dredged to achieve navigational depth. Without regular dredging, the offshore non-channel area becomes the common area of ship grounding. The dynamic chart depth model studied in this article can provide real-time depth, which serves the ships navigation in the non-channel. The model incorporates the chart depth and the dynamic water levels on the same reference datum. The chart depth is from the electronic navigational chart depth. The dynamic water levels are constructed by the simulated tidal levels and continuous series of nontidal residual. We then designed a deviation correction method to reduce the discrepancy of the simulated tidal level with the actual water level, including datum offset correction and residual water level correction. Finally, by merging the revised dynamic water levels with the electronic navigational chart depth, we obtained the dynamic chart depth model of the study region.
Autobiographical Acts in Seventeenth-Century English Petitioning
Authors: Chadwick Mary , Patterson Daniel , Malay Jessica
Published: July 2023

abstract: Among the seventeenth-century non-elite, anonymous (or almost anonymous) individuals across England organized their experiences into petition narratives presented at various local Quarter Sessions. This article explores these narrative texts as sources of autobiographical acts. It contends that petitions for redress were sites of autobiographical telling that allow investigation into how non-elite people told their life stories in early modern England. It examines how, in the context of a petition for relief, individuals engaged in strategic acts of autobiographical disclosure for redress, which also had implications for the restoration of their dignity and even their identity.

Published: July 2023

Objective

To determine the factors associated with sexual dysfunction in pregnancy.

Methods

A cross-sectional facility-based study using quantitative methods was carried out among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital from 14th May to 25th June 2018. Four hundred and twenty-seven married or cohabiting women who were at least eight weeks pregnant and have been living together with their partners for at least four weeks prior to the survey were consecutively recruited. The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) tool was used to assess their sexual function. Pearson’s Chi Square, Fischer’s exact, Mann Whitney and Student’s t-tests were used for bivariate analysis where appropriate between sexual dysfunction (dependent variable) and demographic, obstetrics and gynecologic factors (independent variables). Multiple logistic regression was done. Statistical significance was set at p-value of less than 0.05 at bivariate and multivariable analyses.

Results

The mean age of the respondents was 30.8 ± 4.8 years. Their mean gestational age was 32.3 ± 7.1 weeks. Marital status and duration of stay in marriage or cohabitation were significantly associated with sexual dysfunction with adjusted odds ratios of 1.88 (p-value < 0.05) and 1.08 (p-value < 0.05) respectively.

Conclusion

Cohabiting and increasing length of stay with spouse are significantly associated with sexual dysfunction in pregnancy.

Authors: Thuy Nguyen Thi Thanh
Published: July 2023

Rohu (Labeo rohita Ham.) fingerlings with average weight of 35 ± 2g were randomly divided into four groups (13 fish/tank in duplicate) viz., the control (fed on normal diet) and three treated groups namely T1, T2 and T3 treatments fed on Mentha piperita (L.) extract mixed diet with varying doses i.e. 10, 20 and 30 ml/100g feed, respectively. After three weeks of treatment, fish from all the groups were sampled (3 fish/tank) for hepatic histological examination. Then, all the fish  groups were immunized intraperitoneally (i.p.) with a dose of 106 cells/fish of formalin-killed Aeromonas hydrophila suspension. After two weeks of immunization, all the treatments were challenged (i.p) with a dose of 106 cells/fish of live A. hydrophila suspension. After challenge, all the fish treatments were fed on the same normal diet and observed daily  cumulative mortality. Moribund infected fish and survival fish after two weeks of challenge were sampled for histopathological examination. The results indicated that there was no histological alteration in liver tissues of M. piperita (L.) extract treated fish. However, A. hydrophila infected fish showed  histopathological alteration such as degenerative hepatocytes and congestion of liver tissues. Disease  resistance against A. hydrophila increased in the M. piperita (L.) extract treated groups with the highest in  the T3 treated group.
Research on the Application of Digital Design of Jinzuo Furniture Cultural Tourism Display Platform Based on Intangible Cultural Heritage
Authors: Ge Shuqian , Jin Zhuo
Published: July 2023

Digital design analysis plays an important role in the construction of Jinzuo furniture cultural tourism display platform, especially in the fields of cultural relics, archaeology, and collection, and has also attracted widespread attention from academia in the antique market. However, the current understanding of Jinzuo furniture still stays in theoretical research and lacks a systematic display platform. In the process of analyzing the regional culture of Jinzuo furniture, there are problems such as poor display effect and a small amount of display data. The reason is mainly because of the difference in regional culture and the lack of support for wireless network technology, which affects the publicity and development of Jinzuo furniture culture. Therefore, this paper proposes a digital design method based on the combination of multimedia networks and cognitive radio technology to build a Jinzuo furniture culture and tourism display platform. Firstly, cognitive radio technology is used to collect Jinzuo furniture data, and data from different platforms are summarized through multimedia technology. According to the regional cultural characteristics, the genre of Jinzuo furniture is divided, and the transmission of digital design is studied and understood by radio technology To promote the identification of regional cultural characteristics of Jinzuo furniture and the display effect of the platform. The digital design display results show that with the support of cognitive radio technology, multimedia network technology can improve the design level of Jinzuo furniture culture and tourism display platform, and use cognitive radio technology to promote the development of Jinzuo furniture culture and tourism. It can meet the requirements of Shanxi cultural construction.

Published: July 2023

This paper takes China Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2021 as samples to empirically test the impact of major shareholder reduction on the risk of stock price crash. This paper finds that the reduction of major shareholders promotes the risk of stock price crash of listed companies, that is, compared with listed companies without major shareholders’ reduction, the risk of stock price crash of listed companies with major shareholders’ reduction is higher, and this conclusion still holds after controlling the conservative factors. Further examination shows that the major shareholder’s manipulation of information has an impact on the risk of stock price crash, and the impact of major shareholder’s reduction on the risk of stock price crash is more obvious in China state-owned enterprises, non-high-tech enterprises, enterprises in the bull market period and enterprises in areas with low market investors.

Untangling Systemic Mastocytosis: An Update on Challenges in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Myeloid Neoplasms with Systemic Mastocytosis
Authors: Humphry Nicola
Published: July 2023

This symposium was held on the first day of the 2023 European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress, held in Frankfurt, Germany. The main objective of the symposium was to gather experts from the field to raise awareness of the challenges in diagnosing and treating systemic mastocytosis (SM) with an associated haematologic neoplasm (AHN). Presentations focused on optimising the diagnosis of the SM component and recognising the different types of myeloid AHN. The expert panel considered the clinical management of SM-AHN, and how and when to prioritise the various disease components.

The overarching message from the symposium was that diagnosis of SM-AHN is challenging, and SM is often missed in patients with a myeloid neoplasm, such as chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML), myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), as well as AHN being missed in patients with SM. Identification of a SM-AHN through serum tryptase and/or molecular testing for KITD816V mutation in peripheral blood in a patient with a previous diagnosis of a myeloid neoplasm allows potentially efficacious targeted treatment with KIT inhibitors, such as midostaurin and avapritinib. Although SM-AHN is associated with a poor prognosis, a correct diagnosis and detailed understanding of an individual’s disease can help to guide optimal treatment decisions, including when to prioritise SM treatment over AHN treatment, and vice versa.

Background

Adolescent use of substances and injury experiences such as head injury have become increasingly prevalent. However, information regarding their association and the potential pathways linking them remains limited. This study examined the association between substance use and injuries, emphasizing the mediating role of interpersonal violence among adolescents.

Methods

We employed a multi-country analysis of Global School-based Health Surveys of 122,945 in-school adolescents aged 11–18 from 29 countries. This study was a cross-sectional school-based, nationally representative study developed by the World Health Organization and the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, other United Nations allies, and country-specific institutions. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed to estimate the overall prevalence of injury and substance use and the I-square (I2) statistic was used to investigate the between-country heterogeneity. Logistic regression models were fitted to examine the association between substance use and injuries. A path analysis was used to examine the potential mediation effect of interpersonal violence and employed decomposition of effects into total, direct, and indirect.

Results

Prevalence of substance use and injuries were 33.6% (95%CI = 28.5, 38.6%) and 41.7% (95%CI = 37.3, 46.1%), respectively. Substance use (37.8% vs. 29.4%, p = 0.001) and injuries (47.3% vs. 36.4%, p = 0.001) were significantly higher among male adolescents than females, respectively. After adjustment, substance users had 40% higher odds of injuries. The path analysis showed a mediation effect of perpetration of and victimization by interpersonal violence on the association of substance use with injuries, with total positive effects of perpetration [β = 0.18; 95%CI = 0.16, 0.19; p = 0.001] and victimization on injuries [β = 0.22; 95%CI = 0.21, 0.24; p = 0.001]. In a further subgroup analysis, tobacco users were 3.98 times more likely to sustain a gunshot wound whiles marijuana users had 2.81 times higher odds of sustaining gunshot wounds. Cigarette smokers had 45% lower odds of sustaining cut/stab wounds. Alcohol users were 53% more likely to sustain concussion/head injury and two and half times more likely to sustain gunshot wound.

Conclusion

A significant association exists between substance use and severe injuries among adolescents, mediated by interpersonal violence exposure. Our findings may have utility in informing substance use and interpersonal violence control policies and interventions to address adolescent injuries.

Each radiology or X-ray device is required to perform a functional or performance test of an X-ray aircraft in accordance with the radiation safety standards of the International Nuclear Energy Agency (IAEA). The suitability test has several parameters and parts. In the X-ray Aircraft Suitability Test, there are X-ray beam collimation tests, X-ray generators and tubes, and AEC. However, the illumination and collimation test still uses the manual method. The purpose of this research is to develop the simplest method, which is to measure the illumination at four points simultaneously and store the measurement data directly. This module is designed to use the HC-SR04 sensor as a distance meter and the TSL2561 sensor as a light meter. This module is designed using the HC-SR04 sensor as a distance meter and TSL2561 sensor as a lux meter. In this research, the module has been tested and compared with the results of a comparison tool (Digital Light Meter) and got an error value of 1.55% with a module efficiency of 98.45% in the illumination test, and an error of 1.8% with a module efficiency of 98.2% in the collimator test. From this research, it can be concluded that the light sensor TSL2561 can be used to measure the illumination area of ​​the collimator lamp. The contribution of this research is expected to be more efficient tool testing, and the data will be saved until the next testing time
Improving Resource Efficiency of PMCW-Based JCRS Systems: Simultaneous Transmission of Pilot and Data via Orthogonal Codes
Authors: Su Yanpeng
Published: July 2023

JCRS is regarded as a key application of the future 6G technologies. The phase-modulated continuous waveform (PMCW) has become popular for JCRS in recent years due to its strong anti-interference properties and low peak-to-average power ratio. Conventional PMCW systems suffer from several common problems, like low data rates and susceptibility to the Doppler effect. To address these shortcomings, this paper provides a novel PMCW approach that implements a parallel pilot and data transmission, where the pilot and data are divided by orthogonal codes. Compared to the conventional PMCW systems, the proposed method benefits from a flexible configuration of communications parameters and higher resource efficiency, improving communications performance while not influencing the radar function. Besides, the presented approach also reduces the impact of the Doppler effect on the reliability of communications. At last, the feasibility of this new method is verified, and its performance and application scenarios are analyzed.

Summary. One of the indicators of choosing a method of inguinal hernia repair is the intensity of the pain syndrome. Intense postoperative pain causes discomfort in the patient, prolongs the period of physical rehabilitation and the patient’s stay in the hospital.

The aim of the study. To evaluate the intensity of postoperative pain syndrome in patients who used different methods of inguinal hernia repair: Lichtenstein, TAPP and TEP.

Research materials and methods. We performed inguinal hernia repair in 211 patients. Lichtenstein repair was performed in 65 of them (Lichtenstein group), TAPP in 81 patients (TAPP group), and TEP in 65 (TEP group). Hernia repair was carried out according to generally accepted techniques described in the literature. The patients of all groups had a standard analgesia scheme. The pain syndrome was assessed using the Visual Analogue psychometric scale.

Research results and their discussion. In the Lichtenstein group, the pain index on the first postoperative day was 5.09±1.66. On the third day, it decreased significantly (p<0.05) (r=0.28) and was 1.76±1.01. In the TAPP group, on the first postoperative day, patients rated their pain syndrome as 5.17±1.67. From the third postoperative day, the pain index decreased significantly (p<0.001) (r=0.42) and was 1.80±0.85. In the TEP group, there was a decrease in the pain syndrome index from 5.67±1.58 on the first postoperative day to 2.38±0.84 (3 days), but it was not reliable and had a weak correlation.

Conclusions. On the first postoperative day, the most uncomfortable procedure was the TEP technique. The VAS score in this group was improbably the highest compared to the Lichtenstein and TAPP groups. On the third postoperative day, there was a probable decrease in pain syndrome in the Lichtenstein and TAPP groups, and an improbable decrease in the TEP group.

A água desempenha papel fundamental nos processos metabólicos da planta e o déficit hídrico durante o ciclo da cultura causa impactos negativos na qualidade e nas propriedades do grão. A ocorrência de estiagem durante o estádio de enchimento de grãos, período crítico de exigência de água da soja, causa diminuição do acúmulo de matéria seca no grão, o que antecipa a maturação e reduz o tamanho do grão. Nesse contexto, este trabalho teve por finalidade analisar o volume pluviométrico registrado nos meses de setembro de 2021 a janeiro de 2022 e o impacto da consequente estiagem ocorrida no Núcleo Regional de Cascavel sobre a cultura da soja na safra 2021/22. Coletou-se volumes diários de precipitação pluviométrica dos vinte e oito municípios pertencentes ao Núcleo Regional de Cascavel e utilizou-se de publicações semanais de relatórios elaborados pelo Departamento de Economia Rural do Paraná. Considerando os meses de setembro de 2021 a janeiro de 2022, o volume de chuva total acumulado na safra de verão 2021/22, foi de 790 milímetros. Dessa forma, conclui-se que, apesar de o volume de chuva total exigido pela planta tenha sido atendido, houve uma quebra de produção de 72% em decorrência da desuniformidade das chuvas e falta de suprimento de água no período mais crítico da cultura da soja (floração/enchimento de grãos).

BPK found 15,674 problems related to financial management in Indonesia worth IDR 18.37 trillion in the first semester of 2022. This indicates that APIP's role has yet to be fully effective in providing adequate assurance of compliance, efficiency, thrift, and effectiveness in achieving the objectives of carrying out the duties and functions of government agencies.
This study examines the effect of independence, competence, and due professional care on internal audit quality with auditor ethics as a moderating variable. The research was carried out on auditors/P2UPD at the BPKP Representative Office of North Sumatra Province and the Inspectorate of North Sumatra Province. This quantitative research uses primary data collected through questionnaires that 151 respondents have filled in. Research data is processed using multiple regression analysis methods.
This research concludes that independence, competence, and due professional care positively and significantly affect internal audit quality. In addition, auditor ethics can significantly strengthen the relationship between independence and internal audit quality. However, auditor ethics cannot significantly strengthen the relationship between competence and due professional care with internal audit quality.

Keywords: BPKP, inspectorate, independence, competence, due professional care, auditor ethics, internal audit quality

Introduction. Helicobacter pylori infection mostly associated with gastrointestinal disease such as gastritis, peptic ulcer, duodenal ulcer, and gastric adenocarcinoma. Route of transmission of H. pylori are not fully understood, but human-to-human transmission via oral-oral or fecal-oral route is considered the most likely route. Prevalence of this bacterial infection also varies between countries, Indonesia itself has a fairly low prevalence of H. pylori infection at rate of 22.1%. This study aims to determine the prevalence and risk factors of H. pylori infection among Batak ethnicity in Samosir Island.
Method. A cross-sectional study was conducted from March – May 2021 to determine the prevalence and risk factors of H. pylori infections in Samosir Island through stool antigen test (SAT) examination.
Results. A total of 100 patients reside in Boho Village, Samosir Island enrolled in this study. All of the subjects were tested for H. pylori infection with SAT. The study also collected data using the questionnaire method, and obtained data on age, gender, occupation, education level, history of smoking and alcohol consumption, nutritional status, and also H. pylori diagnostic test results.
Conclusion. Prevalence of H. pylori infection in Samosir Island based on SAT is 18% with the risk factors that are significantly associated with environmental sanitation (p=0.001) and personal hygiene (p=0.004).

A Study on the Influence of the Cultivation of Students' English Learning Ability on the Learning of Other Courses
Authors: Liu Mohan
Published: July 2023

Cultivating students' autonomous learning ability is a key task in college English teaching. However, to achieve this, teachers need to start from many aspects, among which the creation of information technology environment has a positive impact on students' autonomous learning. Teachers should attach great importance to this, flexibly apply information technology in normal teaching, and actively optimize classroom teaching design. The curriculum standard also emphasizes to stimulate students' interest in learning and guide them to turn their interest into stable learning motivation. Formative evaluation focuses on students' learning process, students and their learning itself, and the incentive, guidance, diagnosis and correction functions of process evaluation. It can timely and effectively detect and implement judgments on students' English study process, so as to effectively stimulate students' motivation to learn English in a targeted and timely manner, and encourage students to do better in English study. In order to further study the factors that affect English majors' oral autonomous learning ability, this paper, based on a large number of studies, establishes five main influencing factors and puts forward relevant hypothesis models. This study then uses stepwise regression analysis to verify the rationality of the hypothetical model.
Moodle's Modern Gamification Toolbox: A Practical Application
Authors: Dimitrov Kalin , Kovatcheva Eugenia
Published: July 2023

Over the recent past a lot of work has been done around the topic of gamifying online learning. There are a number of useful papers discussing either the benefits of the process or the details of how to carry it out but there seem to be few dealing with both. In this paper the authors present the results of a lengthy research process which has culminated in the implementation and the delivery of a fully gamified Moodle-based course. The questions the researchers have addressed in their work attempt to determine the kind of influence gamification can have on the process of learning. In the experiment they have conducted, the gamified version of a key university course is delivered to a test group of 65 students, whereas a control group of 125 students takes the regular non-gamified version of the same course. The presentation of their work starts with an introduction to the key concepts and a review of some of the work done already, followed by a discussion of the complete set of gamification tools currently available in Moodle. The gamification of the UX Design course is then described in detail. Finally, the authors discuss the results of the experiment they have conducted and draw some conclusions that link the use of gamification to increased student motivation and engagement in the course, a lower level of attrition, and a significantly improved student success rate.
O uso da reflexologia no tratamento da gastrite
Authors: Rossi Elizangela Beatriz , Bortolucci Thaís Helena , Hora Daisy Cristina Borges da
Published: July 2023

Métodos alternativos têm sido utilizados há anos como forma de tratamento de doenças físicas, e dentre eles está a reflexologia podal, que consiste no estudo da ligação de plexos nervosos localizados nos pés com órgãos, sistemas e estados emocionais. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever, por meio da revisão de literatura, a patogênese e as principais causas da gastrite, destacando os benefícios que a reflexoterapia pode gerar em indivíduos acometidos por este mal. Trabalhos científicos apontam distúrbios e doenças gastrointestinais como razões para a procura da reflexoterapia como forma de tratamento, principalmente quando relacionados ao estresse e a outras alterações emocionais. O tratamento da gastrite não deve ser considerado de forma isolada, sendo necessária uma avaliação do paciente para definir as causas envolvidas com o problema estomacal, auxiliando na escolha dos pontos-alvo destinados à realização da reflexoterapia, a fim de melhorar o funcionamento do órgão acometido, relaxando áreas e funções hiperestimuladas e reequilibrando o organismo como um todo. A gastrite pode ser detectada pela presença de uma parte endurecida ou sensível logo abaixo da pele na zona reflexa correspondente ao estômago. É indicado o estímulo desta área, das  áreas de prevenção anti-inflamatórias e do plexo solar, envolvendo os pontos reflexos suprarrenal e rins, assim como do fígado. O efeito no uso da reflexoterapia podal no tratamento de doenças ou dores é positivo, sendo recomendado para complementar outro tratamento, tratar os sintomas sem diagnóstico, prevenir doenças ou mesmo diagnosticar alguma disfunção no organismo. Faz-se necessária a realização de estudos científicos que visem descrever o mecanismo de ação desta técnica no tratamento da gastrite para que ela seja cada vez mais aceita pela população em geral e pela medicina oriental, para que possa se tornar acessível por meio do sistema de saúde.
UX as a rising multidisciplinary concept: a conceptual analysis
Authors: Lahmidi Zineb
Published: July 2023

From a managerial point of view, a company that puts user experience at the heart of its strategy is evaluated as an entity that enhances its product or service offering.One way to differentiate from the competition or at least follow the strategy implemented by the competition is to offer a user experience of quality. Indeed, differentiation through the user experience allows the conquest of new customers and the conquest of more market shares (Beauregard and Corriveau, 2007). This article aims to provide a general literature review of user experience (UX). This is a continuously evolving concept that can be adapted to different research contexts. Our research has a theoretical scope. It focuses on the key dimensions of user experience and is intended as a synopsis describing the progress of UX research.
