Unified Theory of Gravity, Electromagnetic force, Strong and Weak Forces and Their Applications——Theoretical Explanation for Dark Matter
Authors: ShengQin
Published: June 2022

This paper first explains the theory of the origin of force from a new perspective, explaining that the origin of all forces is caused by the "missingof energy in the time dimension" (non-conservation in a certain period of time), and constructs a unified theory of force on this basis. Then, through the unified theory of force, the following phenomena are reinterpreted:(1) The common origin of the inverse square law of gravitation and electromagnetic force; (2) The origin of the repulsive force of electrons and protons at small distances; (3) The mystery of the rotation curve of galaxies and the new explanation of "dark matter"; (4) Explain the origin of the magnetic field; (5) Predict that moving magnets have the same radiation effect as charged particles (electron magnetic moments also have radiation effects);(6) Reinterpret Maxwell's displacement current; (7) Reinterpret synchrotron radiation and bremsstrahlung; (8) Explain that the strong and weak forces are short-range forces; (9) Predict the true structure of black holes and the origin of gravitational waves;(10)Modifications to the Theory of Gravity.

Learning During the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Perspectives of Elementary School Teachers in the United States and Canada
Authors: Alvarez Rivero Aymee , Odgers Candice , Ansari Daniel
Published: June 2022

In June 2021, we surveyed 911 Elementary-School teachers (N = 911) from the US and Canada, and asked about the effect of the pandemic on learning and education practice. More than 50% of participants report being less effective during remote instruction and not being able to complete the curriculum. Despite the widespread access to digital technologies in our sample, nearly 65% of teachers observed a drop in attendance levels, and nearly 50% observed a decline in academic performance, growth in the gaps between low and high-performing students, and predict long-term negative effects. We observed consistent effects of SES. Nearly 40% of teachers in high-income classrooms report a drop in performance, versus more than 70% in classrooms with low-income students. Students from lower-income households were almost twice less likely to receive support from adults with homeschooling. Overall, our data suggest the effects of the pandemic were unequally distributed.
Afraid of getting COVID-19 or of losing your job? How different COVID-19 related fears are related to media consumption and vaccination acceptance
Authors: Utz Sonja , Said Nadia , Huff Markus
Published: June 2022

Although research showed that media consumption during COVID-19 is related to preventive behaviors, we know less about why people turn to quality or alternative media. We focus on the role of different fears. More specifically, we assumed that fears focusing on health threats were positively associated with the consumption of quality media and negatively with the consumption of tabloids and alternative media. We expected the opposite pattern for fears focusing on economic and societal threats, and that media consumption mediated the relationship between fears and vaccination acceptance. A survey among a representative sample of Germans (N = 1080) showed that the fears correlated as expected positively with the consumption of the respective media type. However, the predicted negative relationships turned often out as non-significant. The fears were differentially related to vaccination acceptance via media consumption, indicating the theoretical and practical value of differentiating between different types of fears.
Tax the élites! The role of economic inequality and conspiracy beliefs on attitudes toward taxes and redistribution intentions

Published: June 2022

Taxation is one of the most widely acknowledged strategies to reduce inequality, particularly if based on progressivity. In a high-powered sample study (N = 2119) we investigated economic inequality and conspiracy beliefs as two key predictors of tax attitude and support for progressive taxation. We found that participants in the high economic inequality condition had lower levels of tax compliance and higher levels of conspiracy beliefs and support for progressive taxation. Furthermore, the effect of the experimental condition on tax compliance was mediated by conspiracy beliefs. Finally, conspiracy belief scores were positively associated with support for progressive taxation. Our results provide evidence that attitudes towards taxation are not monolithic but change considering the aims and targets of specific taxes. Indeed, while the perception of economic inequality prompts the desire for equal redistribution, it also fosters conspiracy narratives that undermine compliance with taxes.

Published: June 2022

A simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been optimized for the determination of phosphate in the presence of arsenate. This method is based on the formation of phosphomolybdate complex from phosphate and added molybdate ion in an acidic medium, followed by the reduction of the complex with hydrazine hydrate. The system obeys Lambert-Beer’s law in the concentration range 60-1080 ppb. The optimized volume of different reagents was 3.5 mL of 0.25% ammonium molybdate, 1.5 mL of 0.25 N sulfuric acids, and 1 mL of 0.5 M of hydrazine hydrate. The time required for the full-color development was 15 minutes at 30oC. The arsenate interference was successfully removed by using sodium thiosulphate and sodium metabisulfite below the arsenic concentration of 100 ppb. 0.2 mL of 1 M sodium metabisulfite and 1 mL of 0.1 M sodium thiosulphate were found to be the optimum volume for inhibiting arsenate interference below 100 ppb arsenate concentration.

Authors: Subba Bimala , Gaire Sanjay
Published: June 2022

The plant kingdom is a wide field to search for natural effective antioxidant and oral hypoglycaemic agents that have slight or no side effects. The present study was carried out to analyze the phytochemical, antioxidant and anti-diabetic activities of six ethno-medical plants of Nepal viz Berberis aristata, Murraya koenigii, Xanthium strumarium, Cuscuta reflexa, Myrica esculenta and Syzygium cumini. Phytochemical screening of methanolic extract of all selected plants showed the presence of different chemical constituents such as alkaloids, polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, glycosides and tanins. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity. Ascorbic acid was used as standard during DPPH assay. S. cumini and M. esculenta were seen most active with IC50 values 33.35 µg/mL, 35.19 µg/mL, respectively. The anti-diabetic activity was evaluated by using α-amylase inhibition method. Acarbose was used as positive control during the assay. X. strumarium, S. cumini, M. esculenta, B. aristata were found to be potent towards α-amylase inhibition with IC50 values 197.21 µg/mL, 206.22 µg/mL, 246.07 µg/mL, 270.04 µg/mL.

Published: June 2022

Taudaha Lake is an important lake in central Nepal because of its cultural, aesthetic, ecological and economic values. The assessments of water quality and hydrochemical characteristics were carried out by collecting samples from 20 different sites of the lake in August 2021. Analysis of temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, total hardness, major cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Fe3+ and NH4+) and major anions (HCO3-, Cl-, NO3-, SO42- and PO43-) were carried out to assess the overall hydrochemistry of the lake. The obtained data were interpreted by using multivariate statistical techniques to explore pollution sources and characteristics of sampling points and compared with WHO and irrigation guidelines. Slightly alkaline water with less distinct spatial variation was found. The pattern of major ions is in order of Ca2+> Mg2+> Na+> K+> Fe3+> NH4+ and HCO3-> Cl-> SO42-> NO3-> PO43-.  All parameters lie within the limit of WHO guidelines. Principal component analysis (PCA) provides four major components with 73.06% cumulative variance and hierarchical cluster analysis classifies five clusters. Results of PCA, CA, Piper, Gibbs, and mixing plots suggested that the hydrochemistry of the lake is primarily controlled by underlying carbonate-dominate lithology. Similarly, Wilcox diagram suggests that lake water is not severely affected by anthropic pollution and is suitable for irrigational purposes. It is recommended for further study on seasonal, and depth-wise water quality variations along with socio-ecological and ecotourism perspectives in the future.
Thermodynamic studies of hydrated metal oxide precipitate for the removal of fluoride from water
Authors: Paudyal Hari , Pangeni Bimala , Ghimire Kedar Nath , Inoue Katsutoshi
Published: June 2022

Hydrated tri metal oxide (HTMO) precipitate is investigated using a mixed solution containing cerium, aluminum, and titanium by precipitation for fluoride ion removal from water. PZC for the investigated HTMO precipitate is determined to be 6.5 from pH drift method. Fluoride adsorption by HTMO precipitate is pH dependent, with adsorption rates of more than 98 percent occurring at pH 2.3 to 6.7. The highest solid phase distribution of fluoride is observed at pH around 6. Fluoride adsorption onto HTMO precipitate increased with temperature, implying that the adsorption reaction is endothermic, as evidenced by the positive value of ∆H⁰ calculated from the thermodynamic calculations. The spontaneous process is indicated by a negative ∆G⁰ value for all temperatures. The fluoride adsorption rate onto this adsorbent is rapid, and equilibrium is reached in less than four hours. An alkali (NaOH) solution effectively desorbed fluoride from a fluoride-loaded HTMO precipitate. As a result, the HTMO precipitate studied in this work is expected to be a viable as fluoride-removing material from water.

Published: June 2022

In this work both linear and nonlinear advection-diffusion equations are considered and discussed their analytical solutions with different initial and boundary conditions. The work of Ogata and Banks, Harleman and Rumer, Cleary and Adrian, Atul Kumar et al., Mojtabi and Deville are reviewed for linear advection-diffusion equations and for nonlinear, we have chosen the work of Sakai and Kimura. Some enthusiastic functions used in the articles, drawbacks and applications of the results are discussed. Reduction of the advection-diffusion equations into diffusion equations make the governing equation solvable by using integral transform method for analytical solution. For nonlinear advection-diffusion equations, the Cole-Hopf transformation is used to reduce into the diffusion equation. Different dispersion phenomena in atmosphere, surface and subsurface area are outlined.

Authors: Lamichhane Tika Ram , Ghimire Madhav Prasad , Bhatt Sarita , Joshi Radha Krishna
Published: June 2022

This paper aims to integrate novel coronavirus daily cases in SAARC countries; India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Maldives and Bhutan to forecast the epidemic trend of COVID-19 by using logistic model. The recent trend of coronavirus cases were analyzed from the COVID-19 epidemiological data for SAARC countries from 23 January 2020 to 31 May 2021. The final size, growth rate parameter and point of inflection of COVID-19 for each countries were calculated by fitting the logistic curve with the cumulative cases. The graphical patterns of COVID-19 daily cases reflect that its second wave impact is more devastating than the first wave in SAARC countries. The increasing trend of COVID-19 cases in these countries was well described by logistic model with coefficient of determination greater than 0.96. The predictive final size of the second wave infections is maximum for India which is 19.8 million with growth rate parameter of 0.08 and inflection time of 68 days whereas the predictive final size is minimum for Afghanistan which is 0.041 million with growth rate parameter of 0.06 and inflection time of 71 days. The logistic model is helpful in predicting the trajectory of the infected cases in a country if the current scenario of this type of infectious disease remains same. Also, it helps the government to frame policy decisions and necessary actions that controls the transmission of COVID-19 in the South Asian region.

Authors: Pramaskara Theodora Edra
Published: June 2022

This article aims to find out more about the consequences of social media content on gender stereotyping of women. The existence of the internet, which cannot be separated from everyday life, allows humans to access information on digital media or social media more quickly and intensely, to fulfill various needs, such as the need for entertainment. Through the literature review data collection method and qualitative analysis on a number of Instagram accounts such as @Dagelan and @Alfysaga accounts, this study finds that social media has affordances to offer various types of contentÂ¾ including entertainment content, that users can enjoy as well. The focus of the problem in this research is uploads that sound gender stereotyping towards women, which in fact is still widespread in various types of entertainment content offered on social media platforms. By using the theory of media affordances and hegemony, in this study it is concluded that content creators can take advantage of Instagram's ability to reach many audiencesÂ¾which allows the consequences for gender-stereotyped entertainment content, for lasting and hegemonic because the audience continues to exist.

Towards Techno-human: A Brief History of Artificial Limbs and Organs
Authors: Bardakçı Tayyibe
Published: June 2022

Background: The ‘techno-human’, which is the result of combining the human body with a machine or device which we have been made familiar with through science fiction movies, is frequently perceived as a distant and futuristic concept. However, when we examine history, we realize that the techno-human is not a phenomenon unique to the future or the present, but rather has a long and significant history dating all the way back to antiquity.Objective: This study aims to detail the progression of techno-humans from antiquity to the present, by focusing on the historical development of artificial limbs and organs.Methods: In this study, a literature review ranging from the earliest examples of the human body meeting technology to today’s complex and functional artificial limb and organ technologies was conducted, and the information gathered through retrospective review of primary and secondary sources was evaluated.Results and Discussion: It is seen that people who lost their limbs as a result of amputation or disease have been using prostheses, albeit primitive, since ancient times. Today, advances in technology such as CAD/CAM and 3D printer technologies enable the production of prostheses from lighter materials and at a faster rate. Contrary to the long history of artificial limbs dating to antiquity, the development of artificial organs only began recently, during the 20th century. Artificial limbs and organs, with the use of more advanced technology, have the potential to be utilized for human enhancement in the future.Conclusion: While prostheses, implants, and complexly built artificial organs make the human body more technological and less biological, a new stage in the biography of the techno-human in which ‘enhancement’ rather than ‘treatment’ is at the forefront pushes the limits.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 06 No. 03 July’22 Page: 249-257

Measurements of the cross sections are conducted for coherent photoproduction of the neutral pion and eta meson on the d, gamma deutron to pi0 eta deutron, at the incident energy in the range of the reaction threshold to 1.15 GeV. A rapidly increasing trend below 1 GeV is observed in the total cross section. The data are effectively reproduced by theoretical calculations incorporating the meson-deutron final-state interactions. However, the measured deutron angular distribution d sigma/d Omegad in the center-of-mass frame (gamma d) is rather flat, and it differs significantly from the strong backward-peaking behavior expected in the kinematics of d formation after pi0 eta photoproduction on an initial bound nucleon. In addition, the d sigma/dMeta d differential cross section exhibits a prominent enhancement near the eta d threshold, while d sigma/dMpi d exhibits an enhancement near the known pi d resonance with I=1 and JP=2+. From these observations, we have concluded that two reaction sequences occur; gamma d to pi0 D01 to pi0 eta d and eta D12 to pi0 eta d, where DIJ denotes a state with a baryon number of 2, an isospin of I, and a spin of J. The enhancement corresponding to D01 is expected to be a theoretically predicted eta NN bound state with I=0 and JP=1- or a virtual state of eta d. It is found that attraction between eta d is certainly very strong.
Mixing and CP violation in charm decays at LHCb
Authors: Červenkov Daniel
Published: June 2022

We present an overview of four recent measurements of charm decays performed at the LHCb experiment. These include the first observation of the non-zero mass difference between neutral charm-meson eigenstates, the most precise measurements of ∆YKK and ∆Yππ, and timeintegrated ACP of eight two-body charm decays. The precision of the measurements is mainly limited by statistical uncertainty, so further improvement is expected with the upcoming LHC Run 3.
Canadian Physiotherapists Integrate Virtual Care during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Ezzat Allison M. , Esculier Jean-Francois , Ferguson Sarah Lord , Napier Christopher , Wong Sabrina T.
Published: June 2022

Purpose:

To examine Canadian physiotherapists’ experiences in adapting their delivery of patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic. We examine the level of strain on the profession and barriers and enablers to virtual care and provide strategies to support future virtual care implementation.

Methods:

From May to October 2020, a series of eight cross-sectional survey cycles were distributed every 2–4 weeks through branches and divisions of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, social media, and personal networks. Descriptive statistics summarized the main findings. Open ended questions were first analyzed inductively using thematic analysis, then deductively mapped to the Capability-Opportunity-Motivation Behavioural (COM-B) Model.

Results:

Between 1,820 (cycle 1) and 334 (cycle 7) physiotherapists responded. Median strain level was 5/5 (cycle 1) and dropped to median 3/5 (cycles 5-8). In cycle 1, 55% of physiotherapists had ceased in-person care, while 41% were providing modified in-person care. Of these physiotherapists, 79% were offering virtual care. As modified in-person care increased, virtual care continued as a substantial aspect of practice. Physiotherapists identified barriers (e.g., lack of hands-on care) and enabling factors (e.g., greater accessibility to patients) for virtual care. In-depth examination of the barriers and enablers through the COM-B lens identified potential interventions to support future virtual care implementation, including education and training resources for physiotherapists and communication and advocacy to patients and the public on the value of virtual care.

Conclusions:

Canadian physiotherapists exhibited high adaptability in response to COVID-19 through the rapid and widespread use of virtual care. By creating an in-depth understanding of the barriers and enablers to virtual care, along with potential interventions, this work will facilitate future opportunities to support and enhance physiotherapists’ delivery of virtual care.

The purpose of this research is to determine whether digital technologies influence tourism consumption and how they can facilitate information access about the desired destination. The research was conducted on 159 test subjects in the Republic of Croatia using a ques­tionnaire survey. Digital technologies shape the human perception of a par­ticular destination and influence tourists’ choice of where to stay. Since most people today use digital technologies to learn about a product – a destina­tion in this case – tourism consumption will be absent or significantly lower in destinations that are not advertised with the help of some sort of technology. It can be concluded that there is a direct relationship between the use and presence of digital technologies and the realization of tourism consumption. These hypotheses have been confirmed throughout this research.

Financial literacy is one of the key competencies for life in modern 21st-century society. Several studies show that education plays an important role in raising the level of financial literacy and economic awareness. It is the consistency and continuity in education that positively influence an individ­ual’s financial competence. However, recent years have been influenced by the anti-pandemic measures in connection with the COVID-19 disease. These measures have also had a significant impact on education particu­larly, in the transition to distance online education. In this paper, the authors focus on the level of financial literacy of university students coming out of long-term distance education. The authors have applied the questionnaire survey method in the research. The research uses the personal finance index as a proxy for measuring financial literacy. The authors compare the results obtained with those from the pre-COVID period using statistical methods. This approach then allows concluding the impact of the move to distance learning on levels of financial literacy.

Crowdfunding is widely recognized as an innovative financing form. It is highly popular with companies and individuals who seek financial support from local and global sources with Kickstarter.com being the most popular reward-based crowdfunding platform. In 2017, with 26 percent most of the crowdfunding money was obtained by projects from the game category (where ca. 45 percent of all campaigns were funded). The objective of this study is to determine factors influencing the success of European pro­jects from the game category on the reward-based crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.com in 2017. The findings show that setting a lower, rather than a higher, funding goal increases the probability to receive more funds. Sim­ilarly, fundraisers who communicate interactively with the crowd and keep their supporters updated, e.g. about the progress of their campaigns, new developed game features and rewards, face a higher probability to reach the pre-specified funding goal. The most important determinant is, how­ever, represented by (pre-)selling and offering products such as tabletop games, playing cards or video games as rewards. Such initiatives increase the chances for success by up to 18 percent. Our results are relevant for in­dividuals, founders, and innovative companies intending to initiate a game campaign on Kickstarter.com in Europe.

The present study focuses on digitalization strategies within the realm of supply chain management, wherein the focus is set on the specific economic environment of companies in the supply chain of critical infra­structure providers. Digitalization strategies are within this paper discussed concerning supply chain management and its relevance to the ongoing and influential COVID-19 crisis, where digital strategies of collaboration and management became imperative. To address the research question about the state of implementation of digital strategies within this specific indus­try, a qualitative empirical study was conducted. Experts from companies acting as suppliers of critical infrastructure were interviewed in an online setting regarding their own experiences with the implementation of digital strategies and according to challenges. Within the analysis of these inter­views, it became obvious that digital strategies pre-crisis were only rarely implemented, with only one out of seven experts reporting about more ad­vanced strategies. The COVID-19 crisis is described to be an accelerator re­garding digitalization, although specific challenges resulting from unclear legal situations and frameworks are reported.

The psychological features of the activity of judges, as well as the jury, as a historical-traditional, legal and democratic institution of justice are considered. It is noted that one of the most important components of a judge's personality is their moral consciousness, as the embodiment of their own morality and attitude to socio-moral norms, assessments, principles and requirements. Changes in society, changes in people's moral values, changes in the level of legal awareness, all this requires improvement and scientific and practical development of the procedure for selecting judges and jurors and in particular psychodiagnostics of their moral consciousness.
An analysis of theoretical and empirical studies of morality and moral development, the experience of taking into account and measuring the moral consciousness of the jury.

Kohlberg, as a classical method, the most acceptable for determining the level of moral consciousness. The foundations of psychodiagnostics of moral consciousness according to the method of L. Kohlberg are the concept of justice, universality of acceptance of basic values, balance and reversibility of moral judgments, stages and features of moral development, which in all societies is subject to general rules and laws.

Authors: Phogat Vishal , S. Gambhir Harvir
Published: June 2022

Acute epididymitis is most commonly infectious in etiology, usually secondary to a urinary tract infection (UTI) or a sexually transmitted infections (like gonorrhea and chlamydia). Enteric gram-negative bacteria (like Escherichia coli) and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus saprophyticus are the most frequently encountered organisms associated with UTIs. Staphylococcus aureus, especially methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), is an uncommon pathogen when considering community associated acute UTI and acute epididymitis. We present an unusual case of a 28-years-old immunocompetent male, who presented with a left scrotal swelling and was found to have acute epididymo-orchitis due to an acute MRSA UTI.
