Zika, a Mosquito-Transmitted Virus
Authors: Lounibos L. Phil , Alto Barry W. , Burkett-Cadena Nathan D. , Lord Cynthia C. , Smartt Chelsea T. , Connelly C. Roxanne Rutledge , Rey Jorge R.
Published: November 2022

Zika is a mosquito-transmitted virus that has spread broadly in tropical regions and caused epidemics, especially in the past 8 to 9 years. In its native range in West Africa and Uganda, the Zika virus stays in the forest for the most part, and human infections are considered incidental and medically inconsequential. In 2015, however, Zika became a larger concern when a strain of the virus traced to outbreaks in French Polynesia emerged in northeastern Brazil. This strain provoked alarm because of increased incidence of microcephaly in babies born to Zika-infected mothers. Local transmission, mainly by the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti, has now been documented in most tropical countries of the Americas but has not yet been detected in the continental United States. This 7-page fact sheet describes the Zika microbe, its mosquito hosts, and the disease it causes. A history of the virus and its migration are included, along with some details about the virus in the state of Florida and preventative measures people can take to avoid infection. The best way to avoid contracting Zika (and other mosquito-borne diseases) is not to get bitten in the first place. Take precautions to avoid mosquito bites. Written by L. P. Lounibos, B. W. Alto, N. D. Burkett-Cadena, C. C. Lord, C. T. Smartt, C. R. Connelly, and J. R. Rey, and published by the Department of Entomology and Nematology, February 2016.

How to Quantify Nosema Spores Infection Rate in a Honey Bee Colony
Authors: Mortensen Ashley N. , Jack Cameron , McConnell Meghan , Teigen Liana , Ellis Jamie
Published: November 2022

Nosema are single-celled fungal parasites that infect various animal hosts. One species, Nosema ceranae, has become the dominant microsporidian infection in western honey bee colonies. When honey bees ingest Nosema spores, many eventually starve to death because the spores replicate in the stomach and hijack the bee’s nutrition. The risk of Nosema infection can be particularly unsettling to beekeepers because colonies often do not show signs of infection until the colony is severely diminished. This 5-page fact sheet explains how to diagnose and quantify Nosema infection in a honey bee colony. Written by Ashley N. Mortensen, Cameron J. Jack, Meghan McConnell, Liana Teigen, and Jamie Ellis, and published by the Department of Entomology and Nematology, May 2016.

Authors: McCray J. Mabry , Morgan Kelly T. , Baucum Les
Published: November 2022

Sands used in sugarcane production in Florida have low levels of organic matter, silt, and clay, and they provide little nitrogen (N) through mineralization of organic matter and possess a low capacity for N retention as a result. Because these soils are highly leachable, N must be managed well to ensure adequate nutrition for the crop as well as protection of groundwater. This new 4-page fact sheet is part of the Sugarcane Handbook, and it discusses sand soils used in sugarcane production, sugar yield response to nitrogen, and revised nitrogen recommendations.

Energy Consumption and Generation Diversity
Authors: Harnphattnanusorn Supanee , Puttitanun Thitima
Published: November 2022

This study investigates whether generation diversity in population can influence energy consumption. Using a panel data of 37 OECD countries over the years 1980-2021, it is found that apart from the size of population by age, generation diversity can influence the electric consumption per head of OECD countries. Specifically, an increase in generation diversity decreases the electric consumption. High generation diversity can lead to a smaller household, where energy consumption can be more efficiently managed. High generation diversity can also lead to high income variation that results in diversity in energy source consumption. Moreover, younger generations, concerning over environmental issues and energy conservation, can influence older generations to conserve more energy through bandwagon effect. This study shows that generation diversity is an important dimension in population structure that can influence electricity consumption. Hence, generation diversity needs to be considered in planning for energy management strategies.
Investigation of the Relationship Between Fuel Prices and Fuel Consumption in Turkey
Authors: Suleymanli Javid , Mammadov Ilkin , Ahmadov Fariz , Aliyev Tabriz
Published: November 2022

This study investigates the impact of fuel price changes on fuel demand in Turkey. The rise in global oil prices since the fourth quarter of 2021 has resulted in considerable increases in oil prices in countries that rely on foreign oil consumption. With the devaluation of the Turkish lira beginning the fourth quarter of 2021, the rise in oil prices reached a historical high in a very short period of time. This situation necessitates the presentation of a recent empirical study to the literature on whether oil consumption changes as a result of oil price fluctuations. Weekly data from 2014 to 2022 were analyzed for this purpose. The fuel expenditures of households with bank and credit cards were utilized as the dependent variable in the study to indicate fuel demand. The average of unleaded gasoline and diesel prices, car sales, car rental charges, and the nominal USD/TL rate are all considered independent factors. According to the analysis, an increase in the exchange rate and gasoline costs lowers the fuel price. The increase in expenses connected to car sales and rental, on the other hand, increases fuel costs.
Exploring the Relationship between Organizational Culture, Organizational Commitment and Performance in Commercial Banks in Two African Countries
Authors: Naidoo S. , Govender Krishna K.
Published: November 2022

Although the relationship between organizational culture, organizational commitment and organizational performance has been thoroughly researched in most developed countries, not much research has been conducted in developing countries, especially in Africa. Thus, being sparked by the erratic performance, an on-line survey was conducted among to reflect the above relationships. With respect to organizational employees from a commercial bank in two African countries, to test 12 (twelve) hypotheses which were postulated commitment, the study focused on the three antecedents, namely, normative, affective and continuance commitment, rather than the composite concept. Upon analysis of the data from a non-probability sample of 265 respondents using structural equation modelling, it was ascertained that there is no relationship between the three antecedents of organizational commitment and the performance of employees in both the combined, as well as in the individual bank samples. However, although no relationship existed between organizational culture and employee performance, a strong positive relationship was ascertained between organizational culture and organizational performance. Considering that the findings do not necessarily concur with much of what has been reported in the literature, the implications of the findings on the performance of the sampled banks as well as for future research, are discussed.
Traditional Dayah Education in Aceh in the Perspective of Perennialist Philosophy
Authors: Wildan T.
Published: November 2022

This study aims to analyze the existence of education in dayah in terms of perennialist philosophy. The problem that will be studied is the existence of the dayah education system and its relationship with the concept of perennialist philosophy. The research methodology is library research with a descriptive analysis approach. The findings of this study are: First: the curriculum in Aceh's dayahs has led to the refinement of a more modernist curriculum; many Islamic boarding schools in Aceh have integrated the general curriculum into the Islamic boarding school (dayah) curriculum so that there is a balance between public and religious education, even though religious education dominates the implementation curriculum. Second: learning methods, dayahs, have modernized learning methods, such as attending skills and art classes, entrepreneurial learning, financial management, etc. Third, dayahs have prepared students to face the world of industrialization and the needs of the world of work. Fourth, traditional dayahs still preserve the old culture and continue to present new things that are modernist to answer the challenges of the globalization era.
Curriculum Development for the Islamic Religious Education Study Program at Public Universities
Authors: Nida Shofiyah
Published: November 2022

Changing the shape of Higher Education from Colleges to Universities provides an opportunity for General Higher Education to open Islamic Studies study programs. This opportunity was captured by a Lecturer in Islamic Education (PAI) General Courses (MKU) at the Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia to open a program of Islamic Education, namely Islamic Science Education (IPAI). The initiative was taken because educational anxiety today uses Western theories and concepts that tend to be secular and value-free. This paper aims to determine the curriculum development carried out by the IPAI Study Program - Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia as one of the Islamic Education Study Programs at General Higher Education in Indonesia. Data collection techniques in this study were interviews, observation, and study documentation. Data analysis techniques using the model of Miles and Huberman with the stages of data reduction, data presentation, data interpretation, and conclusion. Test the validity of the data conducted by triangulating data sources, methods and theories, and member checks. The establishment of the IPAI Study Program aims to produce scientific knowledge, theorization and educational concepts that originate directly from the Al-Qur`?n and the Sunnah. The Islamic Science Education Study Program is different from the Islamic Education Study Program in Islamic Religious Higher Education because of its orientation which not only produces Islamic Education teachers but is a scientist in the field of Islamic education, entrepreneurs, and practitioners in non-formal and informal Islamic Education institutions.
PENDIDIKAN KESEHATAN ORANGTUA TENTANG COVID-19 TERHADAP KESEHATAN MENTAL REMAJA
Authors: Hartati Sri , Lutiyah Lutiyah , Hadiansyah Tantan
Published: November 2022

Health education is a dynamic process of behavior change where the changes that occur are not just the process of transferring material from one person to another and not a set of procedures, but these changes occur because of awareness from within the individual, group, or society itself. Public health emergencies, such as pandemics, have an impact on both physical and mental health. Children are especially vulnerable because of their limited understanding of the event. They cannot escape the dangers of situations physically and mentally because they have limited coping strategies. They may not be able to communicate their feelings like adults. Closing schools and separation from friends can cause stress and anxiety in children. Exposure to mass media coverage of crisis events and unverified information circulating on social media can exacerbate mental stress. This study aims to determine the effect of parental health education about Covid-19 on the mental health of adolescents at SMK Dharma Kusuma Cianjur. The research method used is one group pre test and post test design. This research was conducted from January 03 to January 29, 2022. Respondents were parents and teenagers in class X totaling 196 people. Data collection was carried out by observing, analyzing data using the Kendall's tau test, comparing research before and after the intervention was given. There are differences in adolescent mental health before and after parents are given health education (0.013 <0.05). Teenagers and parents should establish a warm and harmonious relationship, open and trust each other so that mental health problems do not occur.

Published: November 2022

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the lives of people worldwide. Considering that no specific pharmaceutical treatment exists for this disease, the best way to deal with it is through prevention. However, many people in the community do not implement preventive behaviors. The study investigates the risk perception of infectious diseases following psychological factors and social variables, such as age, gender, family structure, occupation, income, and saving as social factors. Methods: A sample of 371 adults in the age range of 18 to 60 years (224 females and 147 males) was selected via the convenience sampling method from Karaj City. They answered questions about social variables, vulnerability to infectious diseases questionnaire, and questions about protective behaviors according to the World Health Organization protocol on COVID-19. Results: The results showed that in the psychological dimension, self-risk assessment and vulnerability to infectious diseases can predict COVID-19-related preventive behaviors. In the social dimension, the family structure, gender, and familial and social relationships of individuals predicted protective behaviors in individuals. Conclusion: prevention is essential for controlling the pandemic and it is necessary to consider the risk factors in every society.

Authors:   Department of Psychology, Faculty of Education and Psychology, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran., Abbasi Jondani Javad
Published: November 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all aspects of our lives and even the scientific fields. Most of the COVID-19 preventative strategies, such as basic hygiene, are similar to concerns of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, especially those with contamination fears. The obsessive-compulsive (OC) questionnaires typically have several items about basic hygiene. The contamination/cleaning/washing subscales of all well-known OC questionnaires were inspected in terms of their similarity to the COVID-19 preventative strategies. In this paper, I discussed the way this similarity may threaten the validity of OC questionnaires along with the potential solutions.

Methods: The data collection tools in this study included the Persian version of the Toronto alexithymia scale-20, the dysfunctional attitude scale (Weissman and Beck), and the intimacy scale (Walker and Thompson). The statistical population included all married men and women who lived in Mashhad City in the second half of 2019. The sample of this study consisted of 171 married individuals (100 women and 71 men) who were selected via the convenience sampling method. Results: he results indicated a negative and significant relationship between marital intimacy and alexithymia (P<0.05, β=-25.258) and dysfunctional reactions (P<0.01, β=-0.0318). Alexithymia accounted for about 6% and dysfunctional reactions for about 10% of the dispersion of marital intimacy. Also, a positive and significant correlation existed between alexithymia and dysfunctional reactions (P<0.01, r=0.553) among married couples. In addition, alexithymia and dysfunctional reactions could be a predictor of marital intimacy. Conclusion: Paying attention to variables, such as alexithymia and dysfunctional reactions can ensure marital intimacy. The results of this study have implications for improving marital intimacy and its positive outcomes in families.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and depression with the mediating role of executive functions (EFs) in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Methods: The statistical population of this descriptive correlational study included all patients with RRMS who were referred to Tehran neurologists in the summer of 2021 and among them, 208 samples who were eligible to enter the study, were selected via available sampling methods. To collect data, Krupp et al.'s (1988) fatigue severity scale (FSS), Nejati's cognitive abilities (NCA), and Beck depression inventory (II-BDI) were used. Pearson correlation method and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to analyze the data. Results: Of seven subscales of EFs, the subscales of working memory, inhibitory control, selective attention, planning, and cognitive flexibility, which are called "cold" processes of EFs, were approved as mediators at the level (P<0.001), but the subscales of cognitive functioning, decision-making, and controlled attention, which are hot functions and require emotional awareness and regulation of personal social behaviors and decision-making with emotional and personal interpretation and empathy, were not approved as mediating roles. The results also showed that in patients with RRMS, there was a significant relationship between CFS and depression, between CFS and EFs, and between EFs and depression (P<0.001). Conclusion: The results of the present study can be used in cognitive rehabilitation to improve EFs and consequently improve depression in patients with MS.

Introduction. Due to the increasing number of users, growing rates of data transmission, and rapid advancement of the Internet of Things, the parameter of channel capacity is acquiring greater importance in modern communication systems. In wireless communication systems, capacity limitation occurs due to a low signal-to-noise ratio, one reason for which consists in high losses associated with the propagation of electromagnetic waves. These losses can be compensated using high-gain antenna systems, such as metasurfaces, transmitarrays, or reflectarrays.

Aim. Development and research of a one-bit transmit phased antenna array with spatial excitation for use in wireless communication networks across sub-6 GHz frequencies. The issues of reducing the insertion losses associated with the cell geometry and control components are discussed. Account is taken of the parasitic parameters of p–i–ndiodes used as control elements for phase adjustment in a unit cell. Methods for suppressing cross-polarization in a unit cell with the purpose of reducing insertion losses are studied.

Materials and methods. The characteristics of unit cells in a transmit antenna array were studied by numerical electrodynamic modeling in the CST Microwave Studio computer-aided design system. The obtained results were confirmed by an experimental study of samples.

Results. A unique design of a unit cell comprising the main element of a transmitarray was proposed. On its basis, a transmitarray was designed and manufactured, whose measurements proved the level of insertion losses to be lower than 1.5 dB in the operating frequency band of 210 MHz (3.6 %). The level of cross-polarization was found to be lower than 24 dB, and the gain attenuation did not exceed 2.5 dB in the range of beam deflection from 45° to -45°.

Conclusion. The design simplicity, low losses, and acceptable cross-polarization levels of the developed one-bit transmit phased antenna array with spatial excitation confirm its feasibility for modern communication systems.
Interacting Two Fluid Model In Higher Dimensions
Authors: Mandal Jayanta
Published: November 2022

In the framework of Kaluza-Klein cosmology, we study the dynamics of two interacting fluids in a spatially flat universe. One of them is the pressure less dark matter (DM) and the other is the dark energy (DE) satisfying a barotropic equation with constant equation of state (EoS) parameter. We consider two separate cases when ω_d≠0 and ω_d=-1 i.e. Cosmological constant. We observe that the evolution equations for interacting components and Hubble parameter can be solved completely as a function of scale factor or redshift.
