Authors: Sánchez Aquino José Guadalupe , Hernández Romero. Dra Gladys
Published: January 2023

Es necesario que los jóvenes universitarios se adapten con velocidad a los cambios que se presentan en los entornos laborales y las habilidades blandas son uno de los cambios más esenciales en la vida laboral del siglo XIX. El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una revisión intensiva en español acerca de los conocimientos actuales sobre el dominio de las habilidades blandas en los jóvenes universitarios y su importancia en la búsqueda de empleo.  Para la recolección de la información se realizó una revisión de la bibliografía publicada en los últimos 5 años, disponible en buscadores académicos. Como resultado de la revisión se percibe una demanda importante de habilidades blandas en los mercados laborales; a pesar de ello existe un aplazamiento considerable en el dominio de las habilidades blandas por los jóvenes con estudios de nivel superior que buscan empelarse. Como conclusión se plantea la necesidad de acciones que tomen a conveniencia la gran demanda de habilidades blandas como punto de partida para la vinculación al empelo de los jóvenes egresados acortando la brecha en el dominio de estas destrezas de alto valor.

Published: January 2023

Tradicionalmente se han aplicado modelos de evaluación de competencias dedicadas en gran medida  a las informacionales dedicadas a evaluar niveles de alfabetización informacional (ALFIN) principalmente en ambientes académicos. Con el desarrollo de los procesos de informatización se han impuesto el empleo de las competencias digitales y su evaluación, incluso en ambientes no académicos. Se pretende crear y aplicar un instrumento de evaluación de las competencias digitales basado en el modelo DIGCOMP europeo. Se presentan las características del modelo DIGCOMP, elaborado en el “Marco europeo de competencias digitales”. Se aplicaron para su selección y aplicación los métodos del nivel empírico, tales como; el estudio documental así como la entrevista a directivos y especialistas principales del Ministerio de Educación Superior. Se estudiaron además los antecedentes históricos de modelos y herramientas implementadas en la última década con el fin de detectar su vigencia. Se concluye que el desarrollo en las tecnologías de la información y comunicaciones ha impuesto la necesidad de cambios en los modelos e instrumentos tradicionales implementados para los diagnósticos de competencias por no presentar las relevancias e importancias del ecosistema digital imperante a nivel internacional que potencia el acceso, procesamiento, resguardo y empleo de la información necesaria en nuestro sistema de educación superior. En el trabajo se emplea el modelo DIGCOMP por ser muy completo y versátil. Sobre el mismo se diseña y aplica a estudiantes universitarios un instrumento de autoevaluación de competencias digitales. En el estudio realizado se implementó el modelo DIGCOMP  para diagnosticar el estado de las competencias digitales por considerarse muy versátil y completo para hacer estudios de las mismas en diferentes entornos. En esta ocasión se desarrollo un estudio en un ambiente académico universitarios  bajo la modalidad de autoevaluación. La identificación de las Áreas y las descripciones de las competencias específicas del modelo DIGCOMP pertinentes para la evaluación de los profesores y estudiantes univesitarios  permitirá desarrollar un instrumento específico para la evaluación de competencias digitales.

Authors: Vera Rodríguez José Humberto
Published: January 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar una caracterización química y degradabilidad in situ de residuos orgánicos para la alimentación de bovinos. Se evaluó la materia seca de los residuos de banano variedad CAVENDISH y ORITO (hoja verde, vástago y raquis), residuos de cacao variedad ARRIBA y CCN-51 (cascara, cascarilla y placenta), residuos de caña de azúcar variedad CC 8592 y ECU-01 (hoja verde, hoja seca y bagazo). Mediante análisis proximal se determinó la materia seca, proteína cruda, cenizas, extracto etéreo, fibra cruda y extracto libre de nitrógeno; Análisis de fibras: fibra detergente neutra (FDN), fibra detergente ácida (FDA) y lignina detergente ácida (LDA); Análisis de energía bruta; Degradabilidad in situ y cinética de degradación. Las muestras fueron incubadas dentro del rumen fistulados de bovinos mestizos Brahman con un peso vivo de 450 Kg ± 20 Kg durante 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 y 96 horas. Los valores del análisis proximal presentan una opción importante sobre los residuos evaluados como alimento para animales gracias al contenido de nutrientes presentes y de energía bruta, sin embargo, el contenido de fibras y lignina podría limitar su consumo, la degradabilidad in situ de sus materias secas son considerablemente aceptables en dietas de bovinos, observándose una mediana degradabilidad a través de la cinética de degradación ruminal a las 96 horas. En conclusión, los residuos orgánicos de banano, cacao y caña de azúcar son una buena alternativa alimenticia en bovinos.

Communication is a process of conveying messages from a communicator to a communicant. Communication has elements including communicators, news, media, communicants, and feedback. All of these elements will be interrelated with one another. The rules in the communication process can also be referred to as law and ethics in communication. Sometimes we are a part of the elements of communications that do not understand the law and ethics in communications.  The study of law and ethics in communication is not only related to mass media, such as social media, etc. But in communicating directly there are also laws and ethics in communications. In several cases related to laws and ethics in communication, in these cases affecting mothers and teenagers, due to a lack of understanding and knowledge in communication ethics, sometimes they are trapped in the realm of law which will ensnare them in dealing with applicable laws and regulations. Therefore, guidance related to law and ethics in communicating, both direct and through the media, is significant and must always be carried out. So that a sense of comfort and peace is created and no one is harmed in the communication process. This legal and communication ethics coaching will be doing for five times, as stated in the schedule. Training is carried out simultaneously by the coaching team and members.

Depresión de los estudiantes universitarios durante la pandemia COVID-19: Revisión de literatura científica 2020 - 2022
Authors: Villanueva Javes Jesús Antonio
Published: January 2023

Durante la pandemia de Covid-19, muchas personas experimentaron síntomas depresivos por primera vez. Aunque no todos los casos nuevos de depresión son causados ​​por la pandemia, esta es una buena explicación de por qué algunas personas se deprimieron durante este período. Después de todo, es natural sentirse menos optimista cuando se enfrenta a amenazas constantes a su bienestar. Además, los estudiantes universitarios corren un mayor riesgo de sufrir depresión debido a su ubicación y circunstancias financieras. Lamentablemente, la mayoría de los nuevos casos de depresión no se denuncian debido a la vergüenza y el estigma. Muchos estudiantes universitarios creen que buscar ayuda afectaría negativamente su rendimiento académico. Además, piensan que sus compañeros los juzgarían por buscar atención de salud mental. Por lo tanto, eligen sufrir en silencio en lugar de buscar tratamiento para ellos o sus seres queridos. Afortunadamente, las actitudes están cambiando con el tiempo a medida que más personas se cansan de vivir con problemas de salud mental. Sin embargo, todavía ocurren muchos casos nuevos entre estudiantes universitarios durante la pandemia de Covid-19. Esto se debe a su ubicación y condiciones financieras, así como a una mayor visibilidad como resultado del período de descanso

Published: January 2023

India’s look east policy it did not start in 1990 but it is existed long before India’s relation with eastern neighboring countries since the 12th and 13th century, this is the first phase and second phase when the British comes in India, they give strong strategic dimension by the British empire in India, during the second phase when India become independent, Nehru did the third phase by focusing on east Asia as an important part of India’s policy for Asian region. Nehru's vision of closer ties with the east was shaped by the strength of India’s geopolitical proximity of historical experiences. Cultural identity, economic interest, and common strategic concerns in relation to the countries of the east. The vast stretch of Indian ocean and its economic strategic significance in links with eastern neighbors was not lost on Nehru and his associates since 1992, India started giving importance to South and South East Asian Countries in order to expand its trading activities. These countries have been considered as important trading destinations besides the U.K. and other European countries. The Government of India has started taking serious steps towards promoting Look East Policy. India has developed various bilateral and multilateral trade relations with these countries. The bilateral trade relations Indo-china, Indo-Myanmar and Indo-Sri Lanka and multilateral trade relations with India and South East Asian countries through BCIM, BIMSTEC, SAFTA, ASEAN and ASEAN Regional Forum are significant.
Geographically these South East Asian countries are connected continentally with the North Eastern States with maximum of their borders sharing with these countries. In order to take the maximum advantage of India’s Look East Policy, there is a need to bring all round development of these North Eastern States.

Published: January 2023

Aim: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common neuromuscular disorder in children and it is characterized by a dysfunction in movement and posture. Botulinum toxin injection is a treatment method used for muscle spasticity in patients with CP. Elastography is a new method which is used for measuring muscle stiffness. This study aims to evaluate the gastrocnemius muscle stiffness in cerebral palsy patients before and after botulinum toxin injection by using the elastography method and contribute to the establishment of a treatment algorithm with a proper position for measurement.Materials and Method: The participants of this study were chosen from the patients of our hospital’s orthopaedics and traumatology department. Among the patients on whom botulinum injection to gastrocnemius muscle was planned, 30 patients were randomly selected. Elastography of both gastrocnemius muscles were taken before the injection of botulinum toxin, in the third week and third month after the injection. Simultaneously with the elastography, Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) values were noted. In hemiparetic patients, contralateral legs were taken as the control group.Results: The elastographic values of the medial head of gastrocnemius when the knee is in extension and ankle in passive dorsiflexion, were found to be statistically significantly related (p<0.05) to the MAS values before botulinum toxin injection, third week and third month post-injection.Conclusion: Stiffness due to spasticity in gastrocnemius muscle in CP patients was demonstrated through elastographic evaluation. A correlation was found between clinical MAS values. The most proper position was in which the knee is fully extended and the ankle is passively dorsiflexed. Elastographic measurements may be able to be used in these patients as a method of diagnosis in the future and it will help to assess the effectiveness of the treatment after the injection of botulinum toxin.

Gap-opening Planets Make Dust Rings Wider
Authors: Bi 毕 Jiaqing 嘉擎 , Lin 林 Min-Kai 明楷 , Dong 董 Ruobing 若冰
Published: January 2023

As one of the most commonly observed disk substructures, dust rings from high-resolution disk surveys appear to have different radial widths. Recent observations on PDS 70 and AB Aur reveal not only planets in the disk, but also the accompanying wide dust rings. We use three-dimensional dust-and-gas disk simulations to study whether gap-opening planets are responsible for the large ring width in disk observations. We find that gap-opening planets can widen rings of dust trapped at the pressure bump via planetary perturbations, even with the midplane dust-to-gas ratio approaching order unity and with the dust back-reaction accounted for. We show that the planet-related widening effect of dust rings can be quantified using diffusion-advection theory, and we provide a generalized criterion for an equilibrated dust ring width in three-dimensional disk models. We also suggest that the ring width can be estimated using the gas turbulent viscosity α
turb, but with cautions about the Schmidt number being greater than order unity.
From Images to Dark Matter: End-to-end Inference of Substructure from Hundreds of Strong Gravitational Lenses

Published: January 2023

Constraining the distribution of small-scale structure in our universe allows us to probe alternatives to the cold dark matter paradigm. Strong gravitational lensing offers a unique window into small dark matter halos (<1010
M
⊙) because these halos impart a gravitational lensing signal even if they do not host luminous galaxies. We create large data sets of strong lensing images with realistic low-mass halos, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observational effects, and galaxy light from HST’s COSMOS field. Using a simulation-based inference pipeline, we train a neural posterior estimator of the subhalo mass function (SHMF) and place constraints on populations of lenses generated using a separate set of galaxy sources. We find that by combining our network with a hierarchical inference framework, we can both reliably infer the SHMF across a variety of configurations and scale efficiently to populations with hundreds of lenses. By conducting precise inference on large and complex simulated data sets, our method lays a foundation for extracting dark matter constraints from the next generation of wide-field optical imaging surveys.
Génétique de la famille. Nature et culture chez Spinoza
Authors: Lantoine Jacques-Louis
Published: January 2023

Le constat que fait Spinoza dans le Traité de la réforme de l ’ entendement selon lequel on ne connaît ses parents que par ouï-dire fournit l’occasion de développer, à partir de l’exemple de la famille, la conception originale qu’offre le point de vue spinoziste sur les institutions. En reprenant une distinction que fait Julie Henry, on peut dire que la famille n’existe pas par nature, mais qu’elle est un effet naturel. L’univocité de la causalité et la diversité des causes qui président à sa constitution permettent d’échapper à l’opposition nature – culture comme à toute tentative de réduire les phénomènes sociaux à des principes biologiques ou environnementaux.

Las sagradas imágenes en los sínodos y concilios americanos anteriores a la vigésimo quinta sesión del concilio de Trento
Authors: Guzmán Fernando , Corti Paola , Melo Diego
Published: January 2023

Los sínodos y concilios americanos anteriores a la formulación del decreto tridentino de 1563, relativo a la invocación y veneración de las reliquias de los santos y de las sagradas imágenes, establecieron criterios y orientaciones respecto de la pintura y la escultura religiosa. Los obispos y sacerdotes que participaron en estas discusiones tuvieron presente la práctica pastoral, el discurso teológico anterior, así como lo resuelto por sínodos y concilios españoles. El presente texto se propone caracterizar estos documentos eclesiásticos americanos e identificar las fuentes que están alimentando su formulación. Se presentan como factores decisivos de esta genealogía del pensamiento americano sobre las imágenes sagradas, la doctrina elaborada desde los primeros padres hasta los documentos eclesiásticos europeos de comienzos del siglo XVI; la tensión que el asunto de las imágenes sagradas provocaba entre la población española de judíos y musulmanes conversos, así como las prácticas que se implementaron desde 1492 para cristianizar a la población musulmana de Granada.
We’re Talking About Process: The Primacy of Relationship and Epistemology in Defining Community-engaged Scholarship in Promotion and Tenure Policy
Authors: Janke Emily , Quan Melissa , Jenkins Isabelle , Saltmarsh John
Published: January 2023

This study examines how community-engaged scholarship (CES) was defined and described in promotion and tenure policies at a university. Examining 67 policies across university, unit and department levels, findings show meaningful variability with regards to whether and how CES was defined or described. Analysis categorizes the types of descriptions used as outputs, outcomes, and/or processes related to or enacting CES. We address the importance of not just naming, but fully describing the core values of CES. We discuss the importance of process as a definitional characteristics, and relationships and epistemology in particular; and, the importance of continuing to explicate the interconnectivity and distinctions between CES and diversity, equity, inclusion, and epistemic justice. 
Syriac Studies for the kaiser
Authors: Fiori Emiliano
Published: January 2023

This paper studies Sachau’s travel accounts in the Ottoman Middle East in 1879-80 and investigates his attitude toward Syriac Christians. Whereas at that time attention to the contemporary Syriac life and culture was typical of missionaries, scholars and university professors had no interest at all in the religious and intellectual life of Eastern Christian communities. Sachau shows an unusual concern for their condition of life and for the study of their culture. His approach remains ambivalent insofar as he looks at them from the standpoint of a European observer convinced of his superiority; moreover, his interests are also dictated by the political and religious agenda of the day (the Kulturkampf and the contrast between Catholic and Protestant missions in the Ottoman Empire). However, it is clearly perceivable that his concern is also genuinely personal, and in this regard Sachau may be considered as a pioneering figure in the academic study of contemporary Eastern Christianity.

Published: January 2023

Of late, text and sentiment analysis have become essential parts of modern marketing. These play a vital role in the division of natural language processing (NLP). It mainly focuses on text classification to examine the intention of the processed text; it can be of positive or negative types. Sentiment analysis dealt with the computational treatment of sentiments, opinions, and subjectivity of text. This chapter tackles a comprehensive approach for the past research solutions that includes various algorithms, enhancements, and applications. This chapter primarily focuses on three aspects. Firstly, the authors present a systematic review of recent works done in the area of text and sentiment analysis; second, they emphasize major concepts, components, functionalities, and classification techniques of text and sentiment analysis. Finally, they provide a comparative study of text and sentiment analysis on the basis of trending research approaches. They conclude the chapter with future directions.
An Opportunistic Charger Recollection Algorithm for Wireless Rechargeable Sensor Networks
Authors: Hu Ronglin , Chen Xiaomin , Xu Chengjie
Published: January 2023

Wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs) have received a lot of attention due to the development of wireless charging technology. Recently, a new solution of wireless charging vehicle (WCV) for WRSNs with separable charger array equipped with multiple chargers was suggested. By this method, each charger can be unloaded to serve one sensor, while the WCV can work in a very efficient way because it needs not to stay on site and can continue to perform its assigned task. But this solution created a new problem that is how to recollect these chargers for reusing when their charging services are finished. In previous research, however, the recollecting strategy has seldom been considered. In this work, an effectively opportunistic charger recollection algorithm (OCRA) are proposed. Simulation results indicate that OCRA has outperformed previous algorithms in many aspects.

Authors: Para Ombretta , Caruso Lorenzo , Pestelli Caterina , Pestelli Giulia , Fedi Giacomo , Guidi Stefano , Merilli Irene , Abenante Alessia , Nozzoli Carlo
Published: January 2023

Background : The diagnosis of Covid 19 is made by the detection of viral RNA by PCR on nasopharyngeal swabs. In some patients the test is falsely negative, while other biological samples are positive. The aim of the study is to identify characteristics and prognostic factors for swab negativity in COVID-19 patients with BA-confirmed disease. Materials and methods : Multicentric retrospective case-control study of patients admitted for COVID-19 between March and November 2020 in two internal medicine units of the AOU Careggi and in the Internal Medicine of the Hospital of Varese. Were enrolled patients aged ≥18 years hospitalized for COVID-19 with viral RNA isolation on biological specimen, considering as cases the patients negative to swab but positive to BA. For each case, four controls with positive swab at admission were enrolled Results : the study included 95 patients, 19 cases and 76 controls. The mean time between symptoms onset and swab was 2.65±1.9 days in cases, with a statistically significant (p= 0.003) difference compared to controls (5.53±3.0 days). Patients with negative swab had a longer mean length of stay and more frequent adverse outcome than controls. Conclusions : Swabbing within a short time of symptoms onset is a predictor for false negative. Patients with repeated negative swabs have a worse clinical picture with longer hospital stay, greater need for non-invasive ventilation and higher frequency of adverse outcome.
Preventive Training Program Feedback Complexity, Movement Control, and Performance in Youth Athletes
Authors: Root Hayley J. , Beltz Eleanor M. , Burland Julie P. , Martinez Jessica C. , Bay R. Curt , DiStefano Lindsay J.
Published: January 2023

Context

Preventive training programs (PTPs) reduce injury risk by improving movement control. Corrective feedback is important; however, many cues at once may be too complicated for athletes.

Objective

To compare movement control and long-jump (LJ) changes in youth athletes participating in a season-long PTP, with simplified feedback, traditional feedback, or a warmup of the coaches' choosing.

Design

Cluster-randomized controlled trial.

Setting

Soccer fields.

Patients or Other Participants

A total of 420 athletes (simplified feedback = 173, traditional feedback = 118, and control = 129; age = 11 ± 3 years).

Intervention(s)

Teams were randomized into the simplified PTP, traditional PTP, or control group. Simplified and traditional PTPs lasted 10 to 12 minutes and used the same exercises. The simplified PTP provided only sagittal-plane feedback (eg, “get low”), and the traditional PTP provided feedback targeting all motion planes (eg, “don't let your knees cave inward”). Research assistants administered the PTP warmups 2 to 3 times/week for the season. Control team coaches chose and ran their own warmup strategies.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Participants completed 4 sessions (preseason [PRE], postseason [POST] at approximately 8 weeks after PRE, retention 1 [R1] at 6 weeks postseason, and retention 2 [R2] at 12 weeks postseason). They performed 3 trials of a jump-landing task, which was evaluated using the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) and 2 recorded standing LJ trials at each test session. A time series panel was used to evaluate group differences across time points for the LESS and LJ.

Results

Change score analyses revealed improvements in the LESS score from PRE to POST for all groups. Improvements from PRE were retained at R1 and R2 for the intervention groups (simplified and traditional). The traditional group demonstrated better LJ performance at POST (P < .001) and R1 (P = .049) than the simplified or control group.

Conclusions

Simplified cues were as effective as traditional cues in improving LESS scores from PRE to POST season. Participating in PTPs, regardless of their complexity, likely provides movement benefits.

Authors: Thakur Brijesh , Ahuja Sana , Acharya Seema , Kaushik Sanjay
Published: January 2023

Background:

During the present surge of COVID-19 positive cases, concurrent multifold increase in the incidence of mucormycosis cases has resulted into significant morbidity and mortality. We retrospectively evaluated the clinicopathological features along with microbiological examination findings in histologically diagnosed cases of rhino-orbital mucormycosis.

Material and Methods:

All the H and E and special stained slides of included mucormycosis cases were retrieved from the records and were evaluated with microbiological findings including screening KOH mount examination and culture results.

Results:

Out of 16 cases with available details, 10 cases had the previous history of diabetes mellitus. The most frequent single site of involvement was maxillary sinus (7/25) followed by nasal cavity, orbit, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses. While comparing the histological diagnosis with KOH mount findings and culture results, 15 cases revealed consistent results.

Conclusion:

A high clinical suspicion, monitoring, early diagnosis, and timely management can improve the morbidity and mortality of this life-threatening complication.
Nonsuicidal Self-Injury and Family Environment among College Students in Kolkata, West Bengal
Authors: Pal Arkita , Roy Paramita
Published: January 2023

Background:

Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) refers to intentional, deliberate, and socially unexpected harming acts to oneself without any intention to die. It is a growing concern among recent mental health professionals. NSSI behaviors have an impact primarily on the individual, family, and ultimately on society. This problem is prevalent among the clinical population, but it has also become a threat to the general population, specifically adolescents and the young population.

Aim:

In this present study, we have explored the relationship between family environment and NSSI and investigated the predictable family factor for NSSI.

Materials and Methods:

Mixed method sequential research design was used for this research work. First, we did quantitative data collection; a total of 535 college students aged 18–26 years were selected and assessed using the Family Environment Scale and Functional Assessment of Self-Mutilation Scale. Second, thematic analysis was performed, followed by interviews with six participants.

Results:

There is a significant relationship between family conflict and NSSI χ2 = 33.47 (P < 0.001). Family conflict can be most reliable to predict NSSI, χ2
(16, n = 499) = 57.78, P < 0.001. In addition, the Thematic Analysis highlighted family interpersonal relationship, lack of expressiveness, and lack of sense of belongingness in the role of NSSI.

Conclusion:

Family conflict can be a crucial factor in detecting NSSI. This study can be a good source of information for clinicians and social scientists, but more studies should be conducted to control and prevent NSSI.

Authors: Jaswal Sumeesha , Sidana Ajeet , Mehta Shivangi , Gupta Seema , Kaur Gurjit
Published: January 2023

Background:

Schizophrenia is among the most puzzling yet disabling of all brain diseases. The finding of immunity-related genes seems to vindicate theories about the involvement of neuroimmunological processes in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Moreover, antipsychotics used in the treatment of schizophrenia have been shown to have effects on serum immunoglobulin levels.

Aim:

The aim of this study was to assess and compare the effect of risperidone and clozapine on the immunoglobulins at 6 weeks and 12 weeks in patients with schizophrenia and its clinical correlation.

Materials and Methods:

It was an open-label, randomized, comparative, and prospective study. Patients with International Classification of Diseases-11th Revision diagnosis of schizophrenia who were not on any antipsychotic drug for more than 2 weeks, were randomized to two groups, i.e., A (risperidone) and B (clozapine) after baseline assessment of sociodemographic and clinical parameters on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Baseline blood investigations (complete hemogram, liver and renal function tests, lipid profile, and fasting blood sugar) and immunoglobulin estimation were done. Patients were followed at 6 weeks and 12 weeks and levels of immunoglobulin were reassessed at 6 weeks and 12 weeks along with PANSS and Glasgow Antipsychotic Side-Effect checklist.

Results:

A total of 32 patients were inducted into the study – 16 in the risperidone group and 16 in the clozapine group. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of the duration of illness or period of exacerbation between the two groups though the baseline total PANSS score was significantly higher in the clozapine group. In both the groups, there was no statistically significant difference in the baseline immunoglobulin levels at baseline and over 12 weeks in terms of the immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgM, and IgE levels. Within the clozapine group, a significant difference over 12 weeks was noted in IgG level.

Conclusion:

It can be concluded from the index study that the immunoglobulin levels in the patients with schizophrenia do not differ much concerning the effect of risperidone and clozapine. Clozapine is associated with a significant increase in IgG levels indicating the immunologic response of clozapine in schizophrenia.
Factor Analysis of Oral Health Literacy-Adults Questionnaire (OHL-AQ) among Patients Attending a Tertiary Institution of Shimla: A Validity and Reliability Study

ABSTRACT

Background and Aim:

Oral health literacy (OHL) is an important component of health literacy that is indicated by various constructs of reading, writing, speaking, listening comprehension, and decision-making. Validity and reliability are essential for the accuracy and precision of any questionnaire-based qualitative study. Our aim was to perform a factor analysis of the OHL-AQ scale among patients of Shimla visiting a tertiary institution, for a better understanding of the OHL-AQ scale generalizability in our population. A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients visiting the outpatient department of public health dentistry.

Materials and Methods:

Data collection procedure included information obtained from the subject that was recorded on a structured proforma using the Oral Health Literacy-Adults Questionnaire (OHL-AQ) developed by Sistani et al. in 2013. Exploratory factor analysis was done in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 22, and confirmatory factor analysis was done in Jeffreys’s Amazing Statistics Program (JASP) 0.16.3. Convergent validity was determined from the average variance extracted (AVE), and composite reliability (CR) was determined from the rotation component matrix. Discriminant validity was determined by the heterotrait–monotrait matrix ratio of correlation (HTMT). The confirmatory factor analysis results are based on the categories of model fit with various model indices within the recommended accepted levels.

Results:

The most important to be considered is the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA = 0.04). The χ2 value was 82.254 and χ2/df was 1.61 with a P value <0.004, which indicates a good fit. Similarly, the goodness of fit index (GFI) was 0.96.

Conclusion:

Exploratory factor analysis based on correlation matrix reported adequate construct and discriminant validity for this study. Confirmatory factor analysis based on the covariance matrix provided an adequate model fit within the study data. Thus, the OHL-AQ scale has adequate validity and reliability in our study population, though further studies are indicated in other populations and its operationalization is based on predictive validity.
Ultra-massive spacetimes

A positive cosmological constant

\Lambda >0

sets an upper limit for the area of marginally future-trapped surfaces enclosing a black hole (BH). Does this mean that the mass of the BH cannot increase beyond the corresponding limit? I analyze some simple spherically symmetric models where regions within a dynamical horizon keep gaining mass-energy so that eventually the

\Lambda

limit is surpassed. This shows that the black hole proper transmutes into a collapsing universe, and no observers will ever reach infinity, which dematerializes together with the event horizon and the ‘cosmological horizon’. The region containing the dynamical horizon cannot be causally influenced by the vast majority of the spacetime, its past being just a finite portion of the total, spatially infinite, spacetime. Thereby, a new type of horizon arises, but now relative to past null infinity: the boundary of the past of all marginally trapped spheres, which contains in particular one with the maximum area

4\pi/\Lambda

. The singularity is universal and extends mostly outside the collapsing matter. The resulting spacetime models turn out to be inextendible and globally hyperbolic. It is remarkable that they cannot exist if

\Lambda

vanishes. Given the accepted value of

\Lambda

deduced from cosmological observations, such ultra-massive objects will need to contain a substantial portion of the total
present
mass of the
observable
universe.

Stream processors and comodels
Authors: Garner Richard
Published: January 2023

In 2009, Hancock, Pattinson and Ghani gave a coalgebraic characterisation of
stream processors $A^\mathbb{N} \to B^\mathbb{N}$ drawing on ideas of
Brouwerian constructivism. Their stream processors have an intensional
character; in this paper, we give a corresponding coalgebraic characterisation
of extensional stream processors, i.e., the set of continuous functions
$A^\mathbb{N} \to B^\mathbb{N}$. Our account sites both our result and that of
op. cit. within the apparatus of comodels for algebraic effects originating
with Power-Shkaravska. Within this apparatus, the distinction between
intensional and extensional equivalence for stream processors arises in the
same way as the the distinction between bisimulation and trace equivalence for
labelled transition systems and probabilistic generative systems.
