Relationship Between Self-Awareness and Conflict Management Style: A Correlation Study
Authors: Shah Prital , Singh Ashvika
Published: August 2022

Conflict may both be a problem and a solution. The people involved determine whether a disagreement will simply be a problem or a solution as well. To transition from ineffective or even harmful conduct to productive behaviour and turn the problem into a solution, it might be essential to understand one's behavioural and communication patterns through self-awareness. Present research aims to study the association between self-awareness and conflict management styles. Data was gathered from 400 participants. To measure self-awareness and conflict management an online self-report questionnaire Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Scale by Schutte et al. and the Conflict Management Style questionnaire by Thomas Kilman were used. Results revealed, significant positive Pearson correlation between emotional intelligence and collaborative (r=369*, p=0.00) accommodating (r=288, p=0.00) and compromising (r= 263*, p=0.00) conflict management styles. This suggests that emotionally intelligent individuals manage conflict in a more productive manner than individuals with low emotional intelligence
Changing Landscape of Mental Health from Early Career Psychiatrists’ Perspective in Indonesia
Authors: Cipta Darien Alfa , Saputra Alvin
Published: August 2022

This article briefly describes mental health services in Indonesia from the perspective of early-career psychiatrists practicing mainly in an urban setting. Mental health in Indonesia faces a major challenge of low availability of professionals, low funding, and a high treatment gap. In rural and suburban areas, lack of knowledge, prevailing stigma, and difficult access to mental health services lead to confinement and re-confinement. On the other hand, youth in urban settings are experiencing increased levels of common mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety, accelerated by the pandemics and are more concerned about their mental health. We provide policy, educational, and practice recommendations to address the problem.

Authors: Chih-Ching Yu Chih-Ching Yu , Chih-Ching Yu 劉恒逸 , Heng-Yih Liu 林婷鈴 , Ting-Ling Lin Wai-Sum Siu
Published: August 2022

This preliminary study investigates cognitive complexity, or an individual’s cognitive structure for his or her social world, and its role in stylistic innovation, particularly changes of design in the appearance or symbolic meaning of products, for five Taiwanese small design firms. The results reveal that cognitive complexity is useful to understand the stylistic innovation processes of Taiwanese entrepreneur-designers. The entrepreneur-designers use cognitive complexity to determine the structural prerequisites of aesthetic products. The domain-specific cognitive complexity of the entrepreneur-designer influences the selection of relevant and appropriate dimensions in stylistic innovation. Entrepreneur-designers’ strategic decisions to target a customer-oriented market or designer-driven market will affect the selection of stylistic orchestration and agile synchronization in the process of stylistic innovation.

 
A Review on Intranasal Insulin Drug Potential Effect on Alzheimer Disease in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Authors: Towairqi Hanin Al- , Alshanqiti Abrar , Alsaadi Rahaf , Alhindi Yosra
Published: August 2022

Massive evidence is available regarding the connection between Alzheimer disease and Diabetes Mellitus and their common pathological mechanisms, including impaired brain insulin signaling that can contribute to alteration of protein, glucose and lipid metabolism, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. However, the evidence is limited regarding the exploration of potential disease modifying therapies, which can prevent from progressive neuronal death, leading to cognitive impairment, which is the devastating end stage of Alzheimer. To enhance brain insulin, function a recent approach to mitigate Alzheimer symptoms is to centrally administer insulin is through intranasal delivery. To avoid the blood-brain barrier, a large amount of insulin can be administered intravenously (intranasally) by injecting it directly into the nasal cavity (BBB). In healthy adults, intranasal insulin has been shown to alter CNS measurements. Type 2 diabetics may benefit from an intranasal insulin medication that slows the progression of Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study. Keywords: Intranasal, insulin, Alzheimer, Diabetes.

Published: August 2022

Background: High death rates are seen in cases with heart disease affecting the left major coronary artery. The left main coronary artery has different flow dynamics and pathophysiology than other coronary arteries. It is important to identify the best management options for patients with left main coronary artery disease based on their anatomic pattern. Objective: To compare the clinical and angiographic profiles of patients with or without left main coronary artery disease in patients undergoing angiography for ACS. Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted. Invasive coronary angiography was performed on 985 adult patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease throughout a 6-month study period. The research participants were split into two groups: left main (Group 1) and non-left main (Group 2) following coronary angiography. It was determined whether there were any statistically significant variances between the two groups by comparing their demographics, risk factors, and angiograms. Results: In group 1, the mean age and SD are 54.3±8.4 and in group 2, they are 54.4±11.9. There were 748 men (75.9% of the total) and 236 females (23.9%). Out of the male participants, 630 were assigned to Group 2 (non-LMCA) and 118 were placed in Group 1 (LMCA). All of the females were present in group 2. Left main illness tends to be greater in males, as indicated by the results of the comparison research between the two groups (p=0.046). BMI comparisons across the groups indicated no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). The most common presentation was non-ST elevated ACS, which was significantly related to the LM group (p<0.05). The coronary angiogram of 867 patients showed no left main artery involvement in 88.0% of patients, while the left main in 118 cases was 12.0%. For this research, 985 participants had coronary angiography performed by cardiac catheterization. From the total of 985 patients, 89 (9.0%) were classified as having "normal" or "non-critical" coronary arteries, 227 (23.1%) as having "single vessel disease," 296 (30.0%) as having "double vessel disease," and 374 (38.0%) as having "triple vessel disease." There are 867 individuals (88.0%) with no involvement of the left main artery, and 118 patients (12.0%) having left main disease among the population investigated. Conclusion: Patients with NSTE-ACS, diabetes and LMCA disease were considerably more likely to be men. They were also more likely to have a favorable family history (ACS). Triple vessel disease and distal left main disease were more prevalent among patients. Keywords: Left main coronary artery, Coronary angiography, Coronary artery disease, acute coronary syndrome.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Emotional self-regulation has been determined to be an important factor regarding outcomes for athletes. Previous research has examined strategies athletes use to regulate their emotions and their motivations for doing so. However, little research has examined how professional fighters utilize emotional self-regulation strategies and their impact on performance. Fighters have been perceived as aggressive and impulsive; hence it is important to examine how they regulate their emotions. The present study investigates the association of emotional self-regulation in professional fighters versus college-aged male nonfighters. The study also evaluates the relationship between emotional self-regulation and winning percentages in professional fighters.
Methods:  The study used a sample of professional male fighters (n = 36) and college-aged nonfighters (n = 29). Participants completed measures examining difficulties with emotional self-regulation amongst other measures.
Results: Despite no differences with professional fighters and the comparison group, difficulties with emotion regulation were negatively correlated with winning percentages (DERS-18 total scores p = .003; Awareness p = .036; Goals p = .005, and Nonacceptance p = .005). Findings also suggest significant differences (p ≤ .05) for professional fighters based upon promotion, concussions, and education level.
Conclusions: These findings may contribute to understanding how emotional self-regulation factors into professional fighters’ performative success.
Културата по правата на детето – необходим елемент на професионал- ната компетентност на учителите на XXI век
Authors:   Sofia University, Gyurova Viara
Published: August 2022

The 21st century poses serious challenges for teachers related to the different competences (“literacies”) that they must have in order to be able to meet social expectations. Among the educational tasks of primary importance is the formation of students as citizens of the 21st century: citizens of their own countries and of their democratic societies, of Europe (in case they live in a member state of the European Union), and of the world. This task requires from teachers to rethink their work through the prism of a modern culture of human and children’s rights. This is especially important in the context of children's rights and the requirements for educators defined by Janusz Korczak. Working with students on these tasks makes it possible for teacher to apply in practice the modern approach (principle and tendency) of “learner-oriented education”. In particular, it means that teachers have to answer a few basic questions (as a result of a purposeful reflection based on J. Korczak's insights on children and their rights): Whom do they teach? Who teaches? What do they teach? How do they teach? What kind of an educational and training process do they realize, and in what environment? What and how do they assess? The answer to these questions is the essence of a teacher's professional philosophy which is based on his/her culture of human and children’s rights.

Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) is a critical factor for education quality. This study identifies PCK of students’ difficulties in learning the basics of Organic chemistry, the sources of difficulties and ways to overcome them. An inquiry was conducted with 53 teachers and interview – with 3 prominent teachers. According to the teachers, the most difficult areas are “Chemical processes” and “Experiment and research”. The difficulties are due to: specific subject content (formulae, terminology, logic, representation); curriculum; school settings and students’ characteristics (pre-knowledge, motivation, habits, ways of learning and action). The most effective instruction methods are: problem solving, laboratory activities, discourse, demonstration of experiments and models, problem-based learning. PCK of students’ difficulties is related to other elements of the PCK (КSC, KIRS, KAs) and to subject content, pedagogy and context knowledge. Our research findings can help improve the curricula and teaching practice, and to supplement research on specific topics in science education.

Published: August 2022

Most parents want to be more involved in education, however, in practice, it can be challenging to achieve an effective relationship and communication between the parents and the teachers. The aim of this study is to find out whether selected demographic factors influence teachers’ views of the teacher-parent relationship and which the preferred ways of teacher-parent communication are. In this study, we processed data collected in a sample of 139 teachers of Hungarian ethnic schools (i.e. Slovak teachers working in Hungary). According to the findings hereof, teachers from urban areas perceived their relationships with the parents to be more positive than the teachers from rural areas. As gender differences, we found that female teachers preferred messages and telephone calls. As far as age differences are concerned, we found that older teachers preferred individual meetings with parents and open days. We also found that urban teachers preferred messages more than their rural colleagues. The contribution of this study lies in the fact that it provides a better understanding of the different aspects of the teacher-parent relationships and communication.

“The Way I Loved You”: amor y sufrimiento en la canción popular
Authors: López Rocío Estefani
Published: August 2022

En el presente trabajo, pretendemos mostrar de qué manera en la cultura occidental, y en particular, en la canción popular, el amor y el sufrimiento han quedado estrechamente ligados, llegando incluso a aparecer como algo virtuoso el sufrir por amor. Sobre la base de esta hipótesis, construimos un corpus conformado por seis canciones pertenecientes a los géneros pop, Kpop y cuarteto, que será abordado con herramientas teóricas del análisis sociodiscursivo; sin tomar en cuenta sus aspectos sonoros, sino centrándonos principalmente en el contenido de sus letras y en algunos aspectos visuales de sus videoclips. En dicho corpus pretendemos observar cómo se manifiestan las mismas directrices discursivas del amor romántico, dentro de canciones que pertenecen a campos de producción musical muy diferentes. Seleccionamos dos canciones de pop estadounidense que apuntan a un público joven, global; dos canciones de cuarteto cordobés, producidas para un público popular local, que si bien no tienen amplia repercusión internacional, son consumidas en nuestro país por oyentes de diversas edades, incluyendo a muchos jóvenes; y por último, dos canciones de Kpop que, a pesar de ser producidas en Corea del Sur, fueron diseñadas –tomando como modelo al pop americano– para tener un alcance universal, sobre todo en el mercado juvenil.
“Qué gris estaba la tarde”: legitimación en la música de Mazapán de emociones infantiles objetadas
Authors: Poveda Juan Carlos
Published: August 2022

La noción de infancia probablemente más arraigada en nuestra sociedad es aquella que concibe a niñas y niños como entidades en formación y tránsito hacia la adultez, momento en el que recién estas/os adquirirían una legitimación como ciudadanas/os y sujetas/os de derecho. Así, múltiples atenciones, debates y expectativas que operan en torno a la infancia emergen desde supuestos como el deber de obediencia, la pertenencia al adulto a cargo, el comportamiento no disruptivo y una incapacidad de agencia. En oposición, la propuesta de la agrupación chilena de música para la infancia Mazapán (1980-) ofrece, entre otras cosas, una amplia y diversa gama de tópicos discursivos en las líricas de sus canciones, donde tienen cabida emociones y sentimientos no siempre tolerados por el mundo adulto para con la infancia, tales como, frustración, rabia, introspección, ensoñación, miedo, melancolía o tristeza. Teniendo como referentes los aportes de la historia y sociología de la infancia, así como del llamado “giro afectivo” de las humanidades y ciencias sociales, se analizaron canciones de la agrupación relacionadas al ámbito emocional y afectivo expuesto, pudiendo constatarse una concepción y valoración de niñas/os como entidades con capacidad y derecho de asumir y expresar sus emociones de manera integral.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in the growth of national economy, driving economic development, and are widely recognized as the primary source of employment, poverty reduction, lifestyle improvement, and empowerment of low-income groups. However, notwithstanding their seeming importance, SMEs are plagued with myriads of challenges such as inadequate, inefficient, and at times non-functional infrastructure, which has led to poor market share. This study, therefore, investigated the effect of transactional leadership on market share of selected Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted survey research design. The population of the study was 8,395 which is the total number of registered SMEs in Lagos State, Nigeria. A sample size of 477 supervisors and middle level managers of SMEs were enumerated using Cochran’s (1977) formula. The study adopted stratified sampling technique. A structured, adapted and validated questionnaire was used to collect primary data from the respondents. Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient for all the constructs is greater than 0.7. Data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential tools. Linear Regression Analysis was used to determine the effect of the variables using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 25. The finding revealed that transactional leadership had a significant effect on market share (β = 0.599, t = 13.456, R2 = 0.287, p<0.05). The study concludes that there was a statistically significant effect of transactional leadership on market share of selected SMEs in Lagos State, Nigeria. Transactional leadership style is considered an important factor to SMEs survival and market share sustainability. It focuses on maintaining the status quo to increase company revenue and overall market share.

Published: August 2022

To address the problem of enterprise decision-making, an evaluation index system for the proposed solution is established based on integrating the components of the enterprise decision-making evaluation solution. In the assignment method, the CRITIC assignment method is improved by using Kendall coefficients instead of Pearson coefficients. It overcame the non-linear and non-normal distribution that occurs in the actual situation. The improved CRITIC assignment method is introduced into the attribute hierarchy analysis method, which uses the multiplier normalization synthesis method. It is combined the subjective assignment method with the objective assignment method to determine the weights of the evaluation indexes. The AHM-CRITIC comprehensive assignment method is introduced to establish a multi-objective grey target model, which takes the comprehensive effect of the solution to be selected as the evaluation criterion. An empirical analysis was conducted based on the financing strategy of a labor service company in Wuhan to verify the rationality and feasibility of the method and provide a reference for the evaluation of enterprise decision-making.
Pedestrian Recognition System of Wild Scene Video Streaming Based on Convolutional Neural Network
Authors: Song Keer
Published: August 2022

Object detection aims at detecting the position of important objects and identifying them in still images or video frames. Pedestrians are the objects with most attention in images and videos. We study the detection and recognition technology for pedestrian objects of the wild scene video streams. Based on convolutional neural network, we design an online pedestrian recognition system. As non-rigid objects, people may exist in different poses in the image. Moreover, with the interference of complex background, lighting changes and occlusions, it will be very difficult to detect and recognize human objects. Following pedestrian detection in the images, we can conduct research on pedestrian tracking, pedestrian recognition and pedestrian behavior analysis. In addition, pedestrian detection technology also has great commercial value in video monitoring systems, intelligent traffic systems and other fields. In this paper, we propose a network model based on multiple loss functions, which combines the cross-entropy loss function with the improved monitoring signal center loss function to update the model parameters. Finally, the extracted features are more obvious, making the features of the same individual more compact. Compared to networks trained with only cross-entropy loss functions, our method significantly improves recognition accuracy and implements a pedestrian attribute recognition application based on Web technology. And compared with other similar applications, the recognition system we designed is cross-platform and lightweight. It mainly includes image acquisition, pedestrian attribute recognition and data storage modules, which is of great significance for the application of pedestrian recognition technology in the wild scenes.

Published: August 2022

Detecting abnormalities in the human body with magnetic resonance imaging has long been a challenge in medical computer-aided diagnosis (CAD). This paper presents a comprehensive review of research focusing on transfer learning (TL) in brain tumor detection. Each work starts from collecting MR images and substantial strategies are applied when preprocessing data including data augmentation and image segmentation. Multiple pre-trained models from AlexNet to Hyb-DCNN-ResNet in the latest work are focused. And the results of binary and multiple class classification are compared chronologically. Three pre-trained models which are frequently used to attain a good performance in brain tumor detection are illustrated in detail. And these pre-trained models, GoogLeNet, VGG and ResNet, all are capable to help the proposed systems reach the accuracy of 99%. The challenges even after transferring apposite knowledge to the target domain still exist in pluralistic forms. But the essence of transfer learning can support interdisciplinary research to get better performance.

Authors: Cui Jiale
Published: August 2022

In order to alleviate the environmental problems associated with increasing CO2 emissions, efficient CO2 capture technologies are urgently needed. Nowadays, there are several main kinds of capture methods, such as absorption, membrane, cryogenic and adsorption etc. The principle, advantages and disadvantages of each method have been summarized. Due to its high adsorption rate, low regeneration energy, good selectivity, high stability and gentle operation condition, adsorption has been regarded as the most promising method for industrial application. Additionally, the core of adsorption is to develop good adsorption materials with low-cost and high-efficiency, and some typical materials, including carbonaceous adsorbents, silica gel, zeolite molecular sieve, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have also been introduced. As a new type of material, MOFs are popular with many researchers depending on functionalizing pore surface, permanent and highly adjustable porosity. As more and more potential mechanisms and raw materials have been discovered, MOFs may speed up the process of application of adsorption methods in the industry.
