Can Positive Emotions Predict Consumer Satisfaction in Adverse Services?
Authors: Akthar Nahima , Nayak Dr. Smitha , Pai P Dr. Yogesh
Published: March 2022

Background:Managing emotions during hospital visits is important to enhance patient satisfaction. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between patients’ happiness and satisfaction through patients’ mood and perceived service quality at a healthcare setup.

Methods:This study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital located in coastal Karnataka during the period from November to December 2021. Primary data was collected through a structured questionnaire from 227 respondents. “Statistical Package For The Social Sciences (SPSS) 27.0” and “SmartPLS 3.0” software was used for data analysis.

Results:Hypotheses proposed in this study were examined by comparing the direct effect of patients’ happiness level on perceived service quality and the indirect effect of the level of patients’ happiness on patient satisfaction. The influence of all the exogenous latent variables namely, happiness, mood, perceived service quality, on the endogenous latent variable of patient satisfaction is estimated to be moderate (R2=62.5%)

Conclusion:This study empowers hospital managers to recognize how patient satisfaction is dependent on patients’ happiness. In order to enhance patient satisfaction, the quality of care provided by health services, human resources, and infrastructure must be improved. As a result, the entire service encounter can be made enjoyable to the customers by reducing the distress caused by adverse services. Managers can utilize the outcomes of the study to develop marketing strategies to influence patients’ emotions in the healthcare setup by modifying the servicescape elements.

Published: March 2022

Background: In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0), digital taxation emerged as a tool for accelerating the economic growth of a nation. While Industry 4.0 focuses on enabling real-time decision-making with sophisticated technology to enhance productivity, digital taxation can serve as an important tool for improving business sustainability. Institutions of higher learning (IHL), which aim to design an IR 4.0 educational ecosystem, can embrace digital taxation, as they face various challenges with different resources. The literature indicates that frugal innovation through digital taxation in institutions of higher learning, can solve emerging resource challenges.

Method: We present a systematic review of studies on digital taxation to promote frugal innovation published in the past three decades (1991 to 2021). We obtained a total of 21 papers from a ‘digital taxation’ keyword search, 10 of which were related to digital taxation. However, the 10 papers were not related to frugal innovation.

Result: We present two major findings. Firstly, research on digital taxation for frugal innovation is scant. Secondly, challenges exist in digital taxation implementation, which requires further attention.

Conclusion: We conclude this review with a recommendation for the conceptual framework, to highlight potential research warranting the attention of the research community.

sDTM: A Supervised Bayesian Deep Topic Model for Text Analytics
Authors: Yang Yi , Zhang Kunpeng , Fan Yangyang
Published: March 2022

This study proposes a novel supervised deep topic modeling approach for effective text analysis. This approach leverages the auxiliary data associated with text, such as ratings in consumer reviews or categories of posts in online forums, to enhance the discovery of latent topics in text. The proposed approach can effectively improve topic modeling performance in several ways. First, the learned latent topics are more meaningful and distinguishable, which helps text data exploration. Second, the latent topics discovered by the novel supervised deep topic model are more accurate, which improves the performance of downstream econometrics and predictive analytics that utilize latent topics as inputs. Given the prevalence of auxiliary data in real-world text analysis tasks and the wide adoption of topic modeling in business research and practice, the study offers an effective solution for extracting insights from text data.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in a Psychiatric Patient Mistaken for Indefinite Complaints
Authors: Hamashoji Miki , Kunitomo Kotaro , Shimizu Taro , Tsuji Takahiro
Published: March 2022

Introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) binds to haemoglobin with a much higher affinity than oxygen, forming carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb), which impairs oxygen transport and utilization. As CO concentrations can easily peak in closed environments, non-fire-related CO poisoning can also occur. However, because CO poisoning is often a nonspecific clinical finding, it can result in a diagnostic error. This report details the misdiagnosis of a 42-year-old male patient with psychiatric disorders. Case description: The patient presented to the hospital with dizziness, abdominal pain and nausea on multiple occasions. His symptoms were ascribed to his psychiatric conditions. On his fifth visit, we diagnosed the patient with CO poisoning. Discussion: It is apparent that this patient was misdiagnosed because of his medical history, and standard analysis was overlooked. When patients with psychiatric disorders have nonspecific symptoms, it is important to check for urgent underlying conditions during diagnosis.

Pembangunan yang masif di Indonesia diikuti dengan semakin tingginya kebutuhan pangan untuk masyarakat mengakibatkan permintaan bahan pangan yang meningkat. Akan tetapi, beberapa tahun terakhir hasil pertanian di Indonesia mengalami penurunan. Hal itu disebabkan oleh meningkatnya kerusakan pada tanaman, salah satunya serangan hama yang meningkat. Namun, pengendalian yang masih kurang efektif mengakibatkan setiap tahun petani mengalami kerugian. Hama yang sering menyerang persawahan diantaranya adalah wereng, belalang, walang sangit, ulat, gangsir, dan tikus. Oleh sebab itu, pembasmian hama perlu dilakukan sebagai tindakan pengendalian pada tanaman. Solusi dari permasalahan ini adalah dengan cara membuat alat penangkap hama serangga dan pengusir tikus dengan sumber panel surya. Dengan menggunakan alat ini petani dapat mengurangi atau bahkan tidak memerlukan lagi untuk menggunakan pestisida yang dapat membahayakan kesehatan manusia dan lingkungan. Disamping itu, panel surya merupakan suatu alat yang dapat mengkonversi pancaran sinar matahari menjadi energi listrik. Teknologi panel surya merupakan salah stau teknologi yang praktis dan ramah lingkungan.  Oleh karena itu, melalui skema pengabdian masyarakat yang dilakukan Laboratorium Tegangan Tinggi Departemen Teknik Elektro ITS turut membantu dalam pengendalian hama tikus dan serangga dalam meningkatkan produktivitas hasil panen dengan: (i) Pembuatan alat pengusir tikus dan serangga secara otomatis, (ii) Melaksanakan sosialisasi mengenai pengendalian hama dan penggunaan alat untuk meningkatkan produktivitas hasil panen, (iii) Melakukan konsultasi online untuk menjaga dan merawat alat dengan mitra.

Published: March 2022

Desa Wirotaman mengalami gempabumi magnitudo 6,1. Kejadian tersebut menyebabkan korban jiwa dan kerugiaan materiil. Didapati juga bahwa pasokan air saat musim kemarau menjadi sedikit, akibat jaringan air bersih yang kurang baik. Agar tidak bergantung pada mata air Gunung Semeru, perlu dilakukan penyelidikan untuk mengetahui keberadaan airtanah di Desa Wirotaman. Penyelidikan airtanah dapat dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan parameter resistivitas. Adanya air akan memberikan variasi nilai resistivitas di bawah permukaan. Nilai resistivitas bawah permukaan dapat diukur menggunakan metode geolistrik. Metode geolistrik yang umum diterapkan untuk mendeteksi airtanah adalah Vertical Electrical Sounding. Pengukuran geolistrik VES dilakukan di lima titik, termasuk area yang kekurangan pasokan air. Dilakukan pula survei geologi dan survei sumur untuk mengetahui kondisi hidrogeologi dan kedalaman muka airtanah sebagai penunjang interpretasi hasil VES. Hasil pengukuran didapatkan nilai error sebesar kurang dari 10%. Kedalaman muka airtanah di desa Wirotaman bervariasi, dari 5 meter di sisi utara akuisis hingga 60 meter di sisi selatan daerah akuisisi yang merupakan titik tertinggi desa. Akuifer yang terdapat di Desa Wirotaman diidentifikasi sebagai pasir, yang berada di atas litologi impermeabel seperti lempung dan batuan lava. Rekomendasi pembuatan sumur didapatkan di sisi tenggara daerah survei, yang diperkirakan memiliki kedalaman airtanah dari 11 hingga 40 meter.

Usaha budidaya ikan air tawar termasuk di dalam sektor Usaha Kecil dan Menengah (UKM) yang mampu menyumbang perekonomian daerah dan nasional. Namun usaha kelompok pembibitan ikan ini tidak mampu memproduksi bibit ikan sepanjang tahun, karena terdapat perubahan suhu ekstrim yang menyebabkan ikan banyak yang mati kedinginan sehingga peternak mengalami kerugian. Di samping suhu, faktor lain yang berpengaruh terhadap kehidupan ikan air tawar adalah pH dan kadar oksigen terlarut (dissolved oxygen/DO) dari air kolam. Selama ini peternak ikan kebanyakan masih mengandalkan pengalaman dan bergantung pada kondisi alami serta belum banyak yang menggunakan teknologi untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut. Sehingga dalam program pengabdian masyarakat (abmas) berbasis produk ini, tim abmas ITS berusaha membuat rancang bangun mini boat sebagai pemanas yang menggunakan bahan bakar limbah organik kering seperti kayu dan bambu yang dilengkapi dengan sistem monitoring suhu, pH, dan DO yang terhubung dengan telepon genggam peternak yang memberikan informasi kondisi terkini, sehingga peternak dapat menentukan sikap dan tindakan untuk memodifikasi kondisi kolam agar lebih ideal. Pada saat uji coba ditunjukkan bahwa mini boat berhasil meningkatkan suhu air kolam dan memonitor nilai suhu, pH dan DO air kolam. Dengan demikian, abmas ini sangat membantu peternak dalam memberikan solusi terhadap permasalahan yang selalu dihadapi setiap tahun.
CPD article: Biofilms and surgical site infections
Authors: Low Daniel , Aldridge Paul
Published: March 2022

Surgical site infections are common in small animal veterinary practice, and can result in increased morbidity and mortality as well as adding to overall healthcare costs. Surgical site infections are nosocomial infections and can be classified as superficial incisional, deep incisional, or organ-space. Biofilm-producing bacteria in surgical site infections have survival advantages compared to sessile bacteria, making diagnosis and treatment more challenging. Treatment of surgical site infections varies and depends on the type of infection, drug susceptibility, patient factors and wound factors. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative measures can be taken to prevent the development of surgical site infections. Surgical materials to reduce the likelihood of biofilm formation have been developed, but strong evidence to support their use is lacking. Further prospective veterinary studies and the development of active veterinary surveillance programmes are warranted.

Objective: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of common peripheral vestibular problem reported that head injury is one of common cause among young age. In current situation it only treated by medication or injection by medical officer and specialist. Medication is not an optimal treatment and it only symptomatic therapy and often need chronic prescriptions if not treated properly. There are an optimum specific manoeuvre offers curative therapy in majority of BPPV cases such as Epley’s manoeuvre, Gan Canal repositioning Manoeuvrer (CRM) and Semont manoeuvre. Semont manoeuvre is one of selected manoeuvre that recently done in posterior BBPV case if Epley’s and Gan CRM failed, but less practice among our clinician due to less exposure.

Case Studies: A 22 -year-old gentleman, complain of imbalance, difficulty in walking and vertigo for the past few days. He history of moderate traumatic brain injury (left parietooccipital Epidural Haemorrhage) and surgical intervention done last 5 days ago. He also complained of reduced hearing and on off left tinnitus over left side. No prominent psychological involvement reported.

Detail physical and balance assessment done using BAL EX Foam test Modified Dix Hallpike Test (DHT) done. During the left DHT there is rotatory up beating nystagmus then it proceeds with GRM three-time, 1 session on previous day and 2 session on the current day but it was failed. Then proceed with Semont manoeuvre by specialist in vestibular rehabilitation. After 10 minutes of manoeuvre, modified DHT done and show negative result found there is no nystagmus.
Exploring Potential of Sketchnoting as a Tool for Constructing Learner´s Knowledge in Geography
Authors: Csachová Stela , Kidonová Daniela
Published: March 2022

In the paper, we explore the potential of sketchnoting as a tool for constructing learner´s knowledge. Sketchnoting is non-linear note-taking method that combines text and visual elements to express knowledge in a complex form, and is represented by text, symbols, arrows, frames, and other visual elements. Drawing on theory of dual coding and theory of multimedia learning, it is argued that a learner retains information more permanently if they process it verbally and visually at the same time. Sketchnoting can be effectively implemented in a learning process. We illustrate sketchnoting as a supportive learning tool by empirical study with learners at geography lessons in a secondary grammar school. We assessed twenty students´ first sketchnotes and found out most of them focused on facts rather than relations. It is therefore suggested that teachers draw more attention to organisation, structure and interrelations of the elements of knowledge in sketchnote when introducing it first to learners.
Consanguinity Among Refractive Error, Intraocular Pressure and Etiology of Glaucoma in Diabetics Among Wheatish Population
Authors: Ravuri Ravi Prasad
Published: March 2022

The objective of this paper is to explore the connotation among refractive error, intraocular pressure (IOP), and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) among the Wheatish populace. Population-based studies give significant data with respect to the predominance and hazard factors which include refractive error for glaucoma. The connotation between myopia and glaucoma is robust at lower IOP levels and deteriorated slowly with increasing IOP. This study shows the relationship between IOP and glaucoma is solid at a lower mean value of 15 ±± 3.23 levels and debilitated progressively with expanding IOP of 17.59 ±± 3.33 for PACG, 18.85 ±± 1.20 for POAG, 18.59 ±± 2.52 for PIGM and 19.12 ±± 1.42 for OH among Wheatish population. The illustration of glaucoma in myopic eyes deteriorated with growing IOP and no association has been detected with IOP ≥≥35 mmHg.
Sentiments Analysis and Text Summarization of Medicine Reviews Using Deep Sequential Iterative Model with Attention Encoder
Authors: Prabhu B. Rajalaxmi , Seema S.
Published: March 2022

In this day and age of data innovation, vast amounts of data are being generated daily, much of it is useless to the general public unless it is correctly handled. This year has seen a huge increase in social networks’ relevance, resulting in vast quantities of data provided by users. This vast amount of information is gathered from a variety of sources, including company websites, customer blogs, and item reviews. The text outline is probably the most significant point of view in daily life. Analysis of text sentiment is a method for assessing, summarising, and drawing conclusions about the most important content. In the field of sentiment analysis, attention methods have been crucial since they make use of sentiment lexicons to gather a huge amount of sentiment polarity information. With an attention mechanism that acts as a link between linguistic information with a strong emotional component and deep learning algorithms, it may be possible to boost text sentiment significantly. In the LSTM model, word sequence addictions can be captured over the long term. For the first time, scientists have developed an attention model that combines LSTM with an incredibly deep RNN model to tackle the problem of sentiment analysis in the real world. The iterative method trains the first set of word embeddings using a Word to Vector technique. With the Word2Vec algorithm, text strings are converted into a numerical value vector and distance between words and comparative words based on meaning are calculated. Using the attention strategy has the added benefit of potentially enhancing machine learning’s ability to learn sentiment representations. The attention model is more scalable and adaptable than previous approaches. The major objective of this work is to assess feelings and develop an abstracted content outline, decide on the semantic summarization of different materials and effectively process the data.

Published: March 2022

Chalcogenide glass exhibits a wide transmission window in the infrared range, a high refractive index, and nonlinear optical properties; however, due to its poor mechanical properties and low chemical and environmental stability, producing three-dimensional microstructures of chalcogenide glass remains a challenge. Here, we combine the fabrication of arbitrarily shaped three-dimensional cavities within fused silica molds by means of femtosecond laser-assisted chemical etching with the pressure-assisted infiltration of a chalcogenide glass into the resulting carved silica mold structures. This process enables the fabrication of 3D, geometrically complex, chalcogenide-silica micro-glass composites. The resulting products feature a high refractive index contrast that enables total-internal-reflection guiding and an optical quality roughness level suited for applications in the infrared.

Published: March 2022

The phenomenon of urban shrinkage has spread across the world as the political and economic landscape changes worldwide. The urban development in China has entered a post-development era characterized by coexisting urban expansion and local shrinkage whilst urbanization continues to progress in this country. This paper investigates the urban shrinkage of 80 cities in the Yellow River, China from the perspective of population and economy, based on urban shrinkage models drawing from western countries. It also analyzes the spatiotemporal evolution and influencing factors of urban shrinkage in this area using a spatial panel data model. The results show the following. (1) The phenomenon of urban shrinkage in the Yellow River Basin has gradually occurred and the degree of shrinkage has aggravated. (2) The shrinking cities in the Yellow River Basin are mainly population-related and potential. (3) The phenomenon of urban shrinkage in the Yellow River Basin shows significant spatiotemporal differences. Shrinking cities are mainly distributed in the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River Basin and the number of shrinking cities has gradually increased over time. (4) In terms of influencing factors, financial, traffic, and medical conditions have a greater impact on population-related and economy-related shrinkage in these cities.
Psychometric properties of the Stress Mindset Measure (SMM) in the Polish population
Authors: Mierzejewska-Floreani Dorota , Banaszkiewicz Mateusz , Gruszczyńska Ewa
Published: March 2022

Purpose

The goal of the research was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Polish adaptation of the Stress Mindset Measure (SMM; general version, SMM-G, and specific version, SMM-S).

Methods

Study 1 was an online survey conducted among 1651 adults (81% women, aged 18–84 years). To assess the theoretical validity of the SMM, the following constructs were also measured: Big Five personality dimensions, positive orientation, self-control, perceived stress at work, depressiveness, assessment of one’s own health, and ego-resiliency. Study 2 was a test-retest reliability measurement and took place 10 months later among 344 participants.

Results

A factor validity was examined using exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory (CFA) factor analysis. EFA revealed a two-factor structure for the SMM-G and a one-factor structure for the SMM-S. However, these models obtained unsatisfactory goodness-of-fit indices in the CFA. Among the alternative models, the four-factor hierarchical model was best fitted to the data for both the SMM-G (RMSEA = .038, CFI = .996, TLI = .985) and the SMM-S (RMSEA = .041, CFI = .996, TLI = .990). These results were supported in the test-retest sample (SMM-G: RMSEA = .066, CFI = .990, TLI = .968; SMM-S: RMSEA = .056, CFI = .994, TLI = .983). Thus, four lower-order factors were identified: General, Health and Vitality, Performance and Productivity, Learning and Growth. The reliability of the overall general and specific indices measured with Cronbach’s alpha was high and repeatable in both studies (Study 1: SMM-G α = .88; SMM-S α = .91; Study 2 (SMM-G, α = .87; SMM-S, α = .91). The stability for the SMM-G was satisfactory (r = .62; p < .001), and moderate for SMM-S (r = .46, p < .001). The theoretical validity analysis showed low (< |.40|) correlations in the expected directions with the majority of the selected tools.

Conclusion

The Polish adaptation of the SMM has very good psychometric properties. However, the unidimensional character of the original scale is not confirmed, which was also the case in other existing adaptations. The analyses in a sample several times larger than in previous studies revealed a greater complexity of the construct, identifying one higher-order factor and four lower-order factors.

Authors: Kojima Yuka , Misawa Norihiko , Yamamoto Tatsunori , Honda Shigeru
Published: March 2022

Purpose

Diabetic patients often have systemic circulation diseases which may cause serious systemic complications during ophthalmic surgeries with local anesthesia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the intraoperative alteration of the vital signs in diabetic patients during cataract surgery with local anesthesia.

Methods

Clinical records of 428 patients who underwent cataract surgeries with local anesthesia were reviewed. The parameters measured were systolic/diastolic blood pressures and pulse rates at pre-operation, 5, 10 and 15 minutes during the surgeries. The factors were compared between non-diabetic patients (n = 325) and diabetic patients (n = 103).

Results

Diabetic patients had significantly higher fasting blood sugar and preoperative pulse rate. Diabetic patients showed significantly higher systolic blood pressure compared to non-diabetic patients at 5 and 10 minutes from the beginning of surgery (p = 0.0093 and 0.0075, respectively). In the non-diabetic patients, the pulse rate was significantly decreased at 5 minutes from the beginning of surgery (p = 4.74 x 10−8) which was maintained during the surgery, but no change was observed in the pulse rate of the diabetic patients.

Conclusions

Diabetic patients showed higher systolic blood pressure and pulse rate during cataract surgeries with local anesthesia, which should be monitored carefully by the physicians to avoid possible systemic complications.

Published: March 2022

The foundations of children’s health and wellbeing are laid in early childhood. A gamified app (EmpowerKids tool) was designed to support professionals to have discussions with 6- to 12-year-olds from low-income families about their health and wellbeing. The aim of this feasibility study was to evaluate the usability and acceptability of the tool from the perspective of professionals in social, health and education settings. The study was conducted using a one-group post-test-only design. The usability data were collected using System Usability Scale and the acceptability data were collected using an open-ended questionnaire distributed to professionals (n = 24) in Estonia, Finland and Latvia. The data were collected during two phases. The tool was modified further on the basis of the results. The total usability scores were 82/100 (first testing) and 84/100 (second testing), indicating excellent usability. The answers related to acceptability were divided into four categories: suitability for the context; satisfaction and quality; attractiveness; modification needs. The professionals perceived that the tool helped them to build an overall picture of a child’s health and wellbeing, and to gain information about the child’s individual needs. The requirements for modification detected during the first testing were mostly related to difficulties with textual expressions and graphics. No major modification requirements were expressed during the second testing. The tool is considered feasible and may be used by professionals from different settings to support children’s health and wellbeing. Further studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the tool from the perspective of child outcomes.

Background

The uptake and acceptance of the influenza vaccine (IV) among pregnant women remain unknown in Tunisia despite the increased influenza-related complications and death. The present study aimed to assess the IV uptake and acceptability and to describe related knowledge and attitudes among pregnant women in Tunisia.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted in 84 Tunisian healthcare facilities over a period of three months (from March to May 2019). All pregnant women aged ≥18 years who sought antenatal care in related health structures were included in this study based on a multistage self-weighted sampling. We measured knowledge and attitudes towards the IV and assessed factors related to willingness for its uptake.

Results

The questionnaire was completed by 1157 pregnant women. More than half of the participants (60.2%; 95% confidence interval [CI] [57.3%–63.0%]) reported awareness about the IV. Among included PW, only 4.6%; 95% CI [3.5%–6.1%] received it during their current pregnancy. However, (36.8%; 95% CI [34.0%–39.6%]) declared their willingness to receive the vaccine in the next pregnancy. Recommendation by healthcare providers, identified to be the most trustful source of information, was the main reason for acceptance. However, the intention to accept the IV by pregnant women was significantly associated with such recommendation and perceived safety and effectiveness of this vaccine.

Conclusion

Antenatal care visits are a precious opportunity that should not be missed by health care providers and especially gynecologists to promote the IV uptake by pregnant women in Tunisia.

The research object is the ground-rested circular RC tank. The innovation is to reveal the hydrodynamic pressure law of ground-rested circular RC tanks under bi-directional horizontal seismic action. The relationship between the sloshing wave height and hydrodynamic pressure is determined, the hydrodynamic pressure components and their combination are verified, calculation methods for hydrodynamic pressure are developed, and their distribution laws are presented. The results show that convective hydrodynamic pressure cannot be ignored when the tank is subjected to seismic action. Hydrodynamic pressure under unidirectional horizontal seismic action in X or Y direction is obtained by square root of the sum of impulsive pressure squared and convective pressure squared. Total hydrodynamic pressure under bi-directional horizontal seismic action is obtained by the square root of the sum of X-direction hydrodynamic pressure squared and Y-direction hydrodynamic pressure squared. This method can ensure the accuracy and reliability of hydrodynamic pressure calculation.

Background and objectives

Professional pianists tend to develop playing-related musculoskeletal disorders mostly in the forearm. These injuries are often due to overuse, suggesting the existence of a common forearm region where muscles are often excited during piano playing across subjects. Here we use a grid of electrodes to test this hypothesis, assessing where EMGs with greatest amplitude are more likely to be detected when expert pianists perform different excerpts.

Methods

Tasks were separated into two groups: classical excerpts and octaves, performed by eight, healthy, professional pianists. Monopolar electromyograms (EMGs) were sampled with a grid of 96 electrodes, covering the forearm region where hand and wrist muscles reside. Regions providing consistently high EMG amplitude across subjects were assessed with a non-parametric permutation test, designed for the statistical analysis of neuroimaging experiments. Spatial consistency across trials was assessed with the Binomial test.

Results

Spatial consistency of muscle excitation was found across subjects but not across tasks, confining at most 20% of the electrodes in the grid. These local groups of electrodes providing high EMG amplitude were found at the ventral forearm region during classical excerpts and at the dorsal region during octaves, when performed both at preferred and at high, playing speeds.

Discussion

Our results revealed that professional pianists consistently load a specific forearm region, depending on whether performing octaves or classical excerpts. This spatial consistency may help furthering our understanding on the incidence of playing-related muscular disorders and provide an anatomical reference for the study of active muscle loading in piano players using surface EMG.
From Heathers to Six: Stealth musicals and the TikTok Broadway archive
Authors: Boffone Trevor
Published: March 2022

This article explores two popular TikTok trends that use sound bites from the original cast recordings of Heathers: The Musical and Six. The ‘Martha Dumptruck in the Flesh’ challenge from Heathers: The Musical and the ‘Yeah That Didn’t Work Out’ challenge from Six were, by and large, completely detached from the musicals. TikTokers who engaged with these trends, therefore, likely did not even know that the sound bites came from musicals. These musicals became what I term ‘stealth musicals’, or undercover musicals that proliferate on TikTok in ways that are completely removed from the show’s dramaturgy. As stealth musicals, Heathers: The Musical and Six did not just go viral but stayed viral on TikTok. I argue, therefore, that these two musicals became canonical pieces of Gen Z culture. With viral canonization, Heathers: The Musical and Six demonstrate how cultural capital accrues in digital spaces and, as a result, sound bites such as ‘Martha Dumptruck in the flesh’ enter into a public life that extends beyond the musicals themselves. Indeed, as I propose, quoting ‘Martha Dumptruck in the flesh’ is as synonymous with Gen Z culture as it is with the musical Heathers.
‘Jesus, the Ark for Today’: Evangelizing through Sight & Sound Theatres’s Noah
Authors: Taylor Chelsea
Published: March 2022

Sight & Sound Theatres, a Christian theatre company known for their musical adaptations of stories from the Bible, takes up the mission of evangelizing through musical theatre. While the genre of musical theatre can transform harsh religious messaging into an accessible and entertaining form, it can also undermine religious messaging by introducing camp and trivializing supernatural deities. This article examines how Sight & Sound Theatres’s Noah keeps with and breaks musical theatre conventions effectively to evangelize to their audiences.
Load-sensitive bus headway control for reducing onboard passenger waiting time

Regularity in the bus schedule on low frequency lines or the maintenance of headways on high frequency lines are desired in the operation of public transportation. Bus holding is a technique used for this purpose, but it may incur in delays for onboard passengers. Previous work based on a predictive control method identified a better performance when the holding actions were concentrated in stations where the buses were emptier. Based on these results, the forward headway and the two-way headway feedback control methods, both operated with static gains and mathematically and computationally simpler than predictive control, are modified to operate with variable gains according to the bus load using two different techniques. A variable slack, dependent on the bus load, is also incorporated into the controllers. Microsimulations of a BRT corridor with concentrated and distributed demand patterns have shown that the proposed techniques improve the system performance when compared to the corresponding methods with fixed gain.
Rutting on asphalt binders and mixtures modified with PPA and Elvaloy®: laboratory aspects and rheological modeling

There has been a lack of proper understanding about the actual rutting performance of asphalt binders/cements modified only with polyphosphoric acid (AC+PPA). Accordingly, this study aimed at evaluating the rutting resistance of the AC+PPA at typical Brazilian high pavement temperatures. Due to promising findings, another formulation with Elvaloy® and PPA (AC+Elvaloy+PPA) was also investigated. Standardized multiple stress creep and recovery tests were performed at 64 and 70°C, whereas the flow number (FN) was determined on dense-graded mixture samples and at 60°C. The AC+PPA (PG 76-22) and the AC+Elvaloy+PPA (PG 76-22) were based on a PG 64-22 original binder. The AC+Elvaloy+PPA could deal with heavier traffic levels and at both scales, as the nonrecoverable compliances were lower than 1.0 kPa-1 and FN exceeded 7,000 cycles. Conversely, the AC+PPA did not show the same pattern of behavior because FN was only 17% higher than the one of the original binder.

Published: March 2022

Uvod: Merjenje kulturnih kompetenc je temeljni korak pri  oceni strategij učenja kulturnih kompetenc ter doseganju kulturne kompetentnosti med medicinskimi sestrami in študenti zdravstvene nege. Namen sistematičnega  regleda literature je bil proučiti vsebino in lastnosti  vprašalnikov ter izbrati najprimernejše vprašalnike za ocenjevanje kulturnih kompetenc pri medicinskih sestrah  in študentih zdravstvene nege. Metode: Izveden je bil sistematični pregled literature v  podatkovnih bazah CINAHL, ERIC, EBSCO in ScienceDirect. Uporabljeni so bili angleški izrazi: transcultural nursing,  cultural competent care, cultural competency, education nursing, questionaire. V pregled so bili vključeni izvirni  znanstveni članki z ustrezno preiskovano tematiko, dostopni v celotnem besedilu ter objavljeni po letu 2010. 2010.Rezultati: Izmed 247 člankov je bilo v končno analizo vključenih 11 člankov. Med analiziranimi vprašalniki smo na podlagi vsebine ter psihometričnih lastnosti, kot sta zanesljivost in konstrukcijska veljavnost, ugotovili, da so štirje vprašalniki najbolj primerni za merjenje kulturnih kompetenc pri medicinskih sestrah, trije vprašalniki za merjenje kulturnih kompetenc pri študentih zdravstvene nege in en vprašalnik pri medicinskih sestrah v izobraževanju.Diskusija in zaključek: Določeni vprašalniki, ki smo jih vključili v naš pregled, so na podlagi analize kakovosti merilnih lastnosti vprašalnikov primernejši za merjenje kulturnih kompetenc pri medicinskih sestrah, ostali vprašalniki pa za merjenje kulturnih kompetenc pri študentih zdravstvene nege. Sistematični pregled literature predstavlja dobro izhodišče za druge raziskovalce s področja merjenja kulturnih kompetenc pri izboru ustreznih vprašalnikov za nadaljnje raziskave.
