Effectiveness of Self-directed Virtual Learning on Retention of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Knowledge and Skills among Hospital Nurses in North-western Nigeria: Protocol Paper
Authors: Saidu Ahmed , Lee Khuan , Ismail Iskasymar , Oyedunni Arulogun Sola , Lim Poh Ying
Published: December 2023

Introduction: The instructor-led CPR training method has been used for over 4 decades. However, nurses’ knowledge and skills are still low. Instructor-led CPR training is an extremely capital-intensive programme that requires more time, workforce, and space, thus serving as an impediment to effective learning among the prospective nurses’ trainees. Self-directed training method is suggested to improve the knowledge and skills of CPR among healthcare practitioners due to the low cost and flexibility. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of self-directed method in improving nurses’ knowledge and skill retention from baseline to post-test, one, three-, and six months. Method: A two-arm double-blinded randomised controlled trial will be conducted in two referral hospitals. The control group training consists of a one-day session taught by AHA-certified instructors, whereas the intervention group training entails participants learning on computers in a simulation lab for seven days. A generalised estimated equation model will be used for statistical analysis. Discussion: Through the self-directed training method, participants will have significantly better knowledge and skills of CPR compared to the conversational training method across the time points. Self-directed training method is a simple, cost-effective and flexible method, which can facilitate the training of more nurses in the acquisition and retention of knowledge and skills, especially for those who prefer to learn at their own pace.

Published: December 2023

Uterine leiomyosarcoma is a malignant smooth muscle tumour of the uterus. It is rare and accounting for less than 2% of cases in malignant gynaepathology. To date, only a few reported cases of leiomyosarcoma arising from leiomyoma documented in the literature. We shared an uncommon occurrence of leiomyosarcoma arising from leiomyoma. Presented herein is a case of a ‘rare epithelioid subtype’ of leiomyosarcoma arising from a leiomyoma in a postmenopausal woman. We highlighted the importance of recognizing the possibilities of this event to allow for a timely diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma and to provide insights on management of patients presented with clinically presumed fibroid.

Authors: Piedimonte Leandro , Flores Helguero DM , López Mato A. , Tafet GE
Published: December 2023

Se ha demostrado que el estrés juega un rol crucial en el origen y desarrollo de la depresión. En ese sentido, se puede afirmar que es el resultado de la interacción entre diferentes factores convergentes. Entre ellos, se ha demostrado aumento en los niveles de factor liberador de corticotrofina y cortisol, aumento en la actividad de la amígdala, disminución en la actividad del hipocampo, disminución en la neurotransmisión serotoninérgica, todo lo cual conduce al desarrollo de la depresión. La presencia de ciertos polimorfismos genéticos y mecanismos epigenéticos representan factores de vulnerabilidad biológica. De esta manera, estudios orientados a identificar y comprender los mecanismos que subyacen a los diferentes factores de vulnerabilidad y sus posibles interacciones podrán permitir el desarrollo de nuevos abordajes de tratamiento y prevención de la depresión, particularmente en aquellas personas más vulnerables.

Authors: Saeed Maani A. , Alkhayyat Heyam Kh. , Kadham Shaymaa Maki
Published: December 2023

This paper presents a novel application called the rational valued cyclic characters group, which extensively utilizes fuzzy partial differential equations in medicine and engineering. Among adult malignancies, acute interstitial pneumonia represents approximately 6% of cases, making it the most prevalent malignancy among individuals under 20. In recent years, The use of mathematical models to supplement experimental biological models in cancer research has increased. This paper proposes a new approach to address these challenges by developing a method based on filtering and optimizing radiographic images of damaged cells and differentiating parameters. The method utilizes the newly introduced rational valued cyclic group characters and partial fuzzy transformation. Notably, the suggested transform demonstrates significantly enhanced intelligibility compared to the fuzzy partial Laplace transform. Furthermore, this approach facilitates the analysis and categorization of disease progression and its impact on a patient’s response to treatment.

Authors: Yadav Rishika , Singh Raghuraj
Published: December 2023

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is one of the most challenging study areas in the field of information technology. Among the many challenges posed by WSN, optimization in the presence of multiple conflicting objectives is one of the most major challenges. This paper discusses the previous research work in the field of MOO WSN. This research proposes a new algorithm, Enhanced NSGA-III which is a reference based with new dynamic weight-based cluster scheduling algorithm. ENSGA uses multi-parent order crossover (MPOX) to enhance fresh child to produce the best Pareto Fronts (PF). Total number of sensor nodes, network coverage and energy consumption are considered as the three conflicting objectives for the optimization study. ENSGA exhibits promising results in comparison to the NSGA-II and NSGA-III. The possible future work is also discussed in the paper.
Enhanced model for improving QOS in wireless sensor networks for healthcare monitoring application
Authors: Yadav Rishika , Singh Raghuraj
Published: December 2023

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is made up of numerous sensor nodes that are dispersed at random and form themselves into a cooperative network. WSN fulfils the three basic tasks of communication, computation, and sensing. WSN research and analysis have grown into a significant exploratory field of healthcare monitoring, particularly because of the difficulties they can address. Current technologies on healthcare system focus on the wearable and implantable Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs), which are a subclass of WSNs. A medical sensor implanted in or attached to the body using a wireless media forms the basis of a WBAN. This technology allows the collection of physical information about the human body. The WBAN network is made up of different node coordinators that gather data from the devices (e.g. Heartbeat sensor) and transmit it to the closest access point (AP) of the healthcare system. Maintaining the Quality of Service (QoS) parameters such as delay, throughput, energy consumption in the real or active environment caused by different activity of human motion are the main issues faced by body area networks. In this research, we combine Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) with Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA/CA)to propose a Combined Enhanced Multiplexing Algorithm (CEMA). With the implementation of this strategy, performance of the MAC protocol in congested networks can be enhanced. An improvement in the performance of the MAC protocol in WBAN was observed considering multi-channel transmission by integrating two algorithms.
Medical images utilization for significant data hiding based on machine learning
Authors: Nejrs Salwa Mohammed
Published: December 2023

This paper uses a machine-learning algorithm to suggest a reliable watermarking approach. The watermarked image propagation through the download physical layer (PhyLyr) of WiMAX standards is simulated in this work (WiMAX is based on the IEEE suite of standards 802.16). By downloading the Physical Layer (PhyLyr) through OFDM, transform coefficients of the host image (Hosting-Image) can be embedded there. Data associated with watermarks are initially encrypted. In a medical image, Support Vector Networks (SVN) are used to classify regions of interest (ROI) and regions of no interest (Non-ROI). The findings of this manuscript revealed that greater signal-to-noise ratios might achieve a 106-bit error rate (Bit-Err-Rate), this means that SNR is exceeds 10.4 dB of SNR. The received cover image’s peak SNR (PSNR) for clinical applications is more than 37 dB.

Published: December 2023

In Our daily life we are getting very much dependent on Internet or Virtual Reality. They are nothing but an illusion of a Cyberspace. It has effect on our every aspect of life, like Education, Sports, and Health etc. We are using the term Cryptography which is the science of using mathematics to encrypt and decrypt data. We had used various Encryption standards in back days namely, DES, AES, RSA, Elliptical AES etc. But nowadays we are using Quantum Cryptography for this. It is nothing but use of Physics (mainly Quantum Physics) for Encrypting the data. In this Research paper we will mainly focus on the new approaches that come in the path of Quantum Cryptography. We will also view some interaction of Quantum Cryptography in future Internet services. Quantum computing is yet to be explored but still the explored part has the capabilities to counter the “alien” hacking protocols if tested over any System. Older System were using protocols like RSA, AES, DES even some of them are more capable than our need, but the use of QC will not only secure the systems but there are major chances that eavesdropper got caught while eavesdropping. Also QC is a pathway to secure communication. This paper includes the review of older state of Quantum Cryptography which will give us information about QKD algorithms and its protocol and we will also overview on its risk and security features. We will also provide a glimpse of current various works going in various Educational Institutions.

Authors: Ylivuori Siinamari , Ojaranta Anu
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The aim of this study is to describe how the concept of multiliteracies is interpreted by teachers and librarians.
Method. Two qualitative research projects involving teachers’ and librarians’ interviews are combined in this study. Individual and group interviews are analysed to explore the conceptions of teachers and librarians on multiliteracies.
Analysis. Interviews are analysed using an inductive approach. Data categorisation is discussed and decided by both authors together.
Results. The results indicate that there are differences in conceptualising multiliteracies and in the confidence in defining the concept between teachers and librarians. In addition, the concept of multiliteracies is seen as both a skills set and a pedagogical tool.
Conclusions. There is a need for conceptual clarification of multiliteracies both in grassroots-level work and in the curriculum context to avoid multiple interpretations of the concept and to guide how multiliteracies could be pedagogically implemented.
More than data repositories: perceived information needs for the development of social sciences and humanities research infrastructures
Authors: Sendra Anna , Late Elina , Kumpulainen Sanna
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The digitalization of social sciences and humanities research necessitates research infrastructures. However, this transformation is still incipient, highlighting the need to better understand how to successfully support data-intensive research.
Method. Starting from a case study of building a national infrastructure for conducting data-intensive research, this study aims to understand the information needs of digital researchers regarding the facility and explore the importance of evaluation in its development.
Analysis. Thirteen semi-structured interviews with social sciences and humanities scholars and computer and data scientists processed through a thematic analysis revealed three themes (developing a research infrastructure, needs and expectations of the research infrastructure, and an approach to user feedback and user interactions).
Results. Findings reveal that developing an infrastructure for conducting data-intensive research is a complicated task influenced by contrasting information needs between social sciences and humanities scholars and computer and data scientists, such as the demand for increased support of the former. Findings also highlight the limited role of evaluation in its creation.
Conclusions. The development of infrastructures for conducting data-intensive research requires further discussion that particularly considers the disciplinary differences between social sciences and humanities scholars and computer and data scientists. Suggestions on how to better design this kind of facilities are also raised.

Authors: Michel Carolina , Easdale Marcos
Published: December 2023

Ley Ovina es una política pública destinada a productores del agro argentino. Surgió como demanda del sector ovinero empresarial de la región patagónica, sin embargo, actualmente cubre a todo el territorio nacional argentino y tiene como destinatarios también a productores pertenecientes a la agricultura familiar. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar a la Ley Ovina en Río Negro, provincia en la que la ganadería ovina es una de las principales actividades de los espacios rurales. Desde un enfoque cuanti-cualitativo y de la triangulación metodológica, se estudiará el contexto de surgimiento atendiendo a la relación con la política nacional y los modelos productivos de modernización agraria y desarrollo territorial rural. Describiremos las principales herramientas para la operativización de la Ley, los actores involucrados y los cambios y continuidades a lo largo del tiempo. Como resultado destacamos la invención de un dispositivo participativo, multiactoral y multiescalar que permitió la continuidad de esta política tras más de 20 años desde su reglamentación. A su vez, la capacidad del sector de la agricultura familiar para disputar espacios estatales. Por último, una dimensión espacial vinculada a los imaginarios geográficos negativos que fortalece la idea de lo ovino como actividad no elegida y única posibilidad productiva dentro de la Patagonia árida y semiárida.

Authors: Li Bowen , Pan Fengze , Pan Chengyu , Lv Tianyi , Wang Xiaotian , Ju Xiang , Gong Kaifei , Zou Wenkai , Zheng Chuanbo
Published: December 2023

The Ag-Ni-Co alloy coating is prepared in the low eutectic solvent system by pulsed power supply technology. Infrared spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry are used to confirm that the addition of metal salts does not change the low eutectic solvent system. When the current density is 1 A/dm2 and the plating time is 40 min, the plating grain is mainly spherical; the coating is uniform and dense. After testing, the surface-specific resistance of the plating is only 1.295 mΩ·cm2, the microhardness reaches 214.8 HV, and the wear rate reaches 3.1. The corrosion resistance of the plating and the substrate is analyzed by a combination of macroscopic electrochemistry and microarea electrochemistry, and the results show that the corrosion potential of the plating reaches −0.141 V, and the corrosion current density reaches 1.299 × 10−7 A/cm2. The corrosion resistance of the plating is much greater than that of the substrate.
Artificial Intelligence and the Emergence of Co-Creativism in Contemporary Art
Authors: McNamara Tace
Published: December 2023

This paper argues for the emergence of a new art movement termed Co-Creativism, emblematic of the profound synergy between humans and artificial intelligence (AI) in shaping artistic narratives. Emerging as a successor to post-postmodernism and metamodernism, I propose Co-Creativism began its ascent around 2018 and has since solidified its prominence by 2023, notably influenced by the post-COVID landscape. The era transcends viewing AI as a mere instrumental entity, instead recognising it as an integral co-contributor in the creative realm. Through a methodical approach encompassing case studies and content analysis of artist statements, this paper aims to define the key characteristics and underlying themes of Co-Creativism. By examining the interplay between the global context, the art world, the notion of the artist, art-making practice, the audience, and co-creativist art, the goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of Co-Creativism.

Implications of Students’ Misperceptions about Philosophy on the Development of Philosophical Foundations of Education Teaching Materials
Authors: Syaripudin Tatang , Kurniasih Kurniasih , Hermawan Ruswandi , Kusniasari Sofiani
Published: December 2023

This research aims to describe students’ misperceptions about philosophy as a hindrance to learning the philosophical foundations of education and its implications for the development of teaching materials in the Foundations of Education course. The research was conducted using a descriptive method, with 81 PGSD students from the Faculty of Education at UPI as the research subjects. Result of this research collected through survey, questionnaires, and interviews and processed through the following steps: data reduction, data classification, data interpretation, analysis of implications, and drawing conclusions. The research results indicate the existence of students’ misperceptions about philosophy as an obstacle to learning the philosophical foundations of education. Various perceptions that emerged include: 1) Philosophy is seen as an uncommon knowledge system in everyday life, as strange knowledge, or even as mysterious or mystical knowledge; 2) Philosophy is considered difficult to learn; 3) Philosophy is perceived as dangerous, as it may lead people to disbelief; therefore, it is unnecessary to study; 4) Philosophy is deemed unnecessary because its benefits in life are unclear; 5) Philosophy is seen as useless because it doesn’t provide technical guidance for solving life’s problems. Regarding the implications for the development of teaching materials for the philosophical foundations of education, before students study the educational foundations from various philosophical perspectives, they need to be facilitated in building the right perceptions about the nature of philosophy. The teaching material should include: the definition of philosophy, characteristics of philosophy, a comparison of philosophy with science, religion, and art, and the role and benefits of philosophy in life. As a result, misperceptions about philosophy can be overcome, making it no longer a hindrance to learning the philosophical foundations of education in the Foundations of Education course.
TUNDRA, SPIRITUS, MADAM WIG AND HE-GOAT: A STUDY OF NICKNAMES OF TEACHERS IN TWO GHANAIAN GIRLS’ SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS
Authors: Wisdom Kofi Vifah  , Joseph Benjamin Archibald Afful  , Lydia Abena Amako
Published: December 2023

Nicknaming is a common practice in most academic environments. This study investigated nicknames students used for teachers in two girls’ Senior High Schools in Ghana, utilising Scott’s (1990) Sociological Theory on Resistance to Domination. Employing an ethnographic approach that includes participant observations, semi-structured interviews, and informal interactions with the students, the study revealed that ‘namers’ secretly nicknamed their referents and used these names in the absence of the ‘named’ mostly in informal conversations in both inside and outside of the classrooms. These nicknames are used to identify the teachers’ characteristics inside and outside the classroom, focusing on the teachers’ speech behaviours, fashion lifestyles, physical appearances, and personal habits. A key significance of the findings is that they contribute to the extant literature on nicknaming practices from a site that has been under-researched. Further, the study is a significant foundation for future exploration of students’ use of nicknames for teachers in Senior High Schools and other academic settings in Ghana and elsewhere. The study also has implications on the structure and use of language in the senior high school environments as most of the nicknames are coined in the English language and Twi.

Spatiotemporal heterogeneity in the increase in ocean acidity extremes in the northeastern Pacific
Authors: Desmet Flora , Münnich Matthias , Gruber Nicolas
Published: December 2023

Abstract. The acidification of the ocean (OA) increases the frequency and intensity of ocean acidity extreme events (OAXs), but this increase is not occurring homogeneously in time and space. Here we use daily output from a hindcast simulation with a high-resolution regional ocean model coupled to a biogeochemical ecosystem model (ROMS-BEC) to investigate this heterogeneity in the progression of OAX in the upper 250 m of the northeastern Pacific from 1984 to 2019. OAXs are defined using a relative threshold approach and using a fixed baseline. Concretely, conditions are considered extreme when the hydrogen ion concentration ([H+]) exceeds the 99th percentile of its distribution in the baseline simulation where atmospheric CO2 was held at its 1979 level. Within the 36 years of our hindcast simulation, the increase in atmospheric CO2 causes a strong increase in OAX volume, duration, and intensity throughout the upper 250 m. The increases are most accentuated near the surface, with 88 % of the surface area experiencing near-permanent extreme conditions in 2019. At the same time, a larger fraction of the OAXs become undersaturated with respect to aragonite (ΩA < 1), with some regions experiencing increases up to nearly 50 % in their subsurface. There is substantial regional heterogeneity in the progression of OAX, with the fraction of OAX volume across the top 250 m increasing in the central northeastern Pacific up to 160 times, while the deeper layers of the nearshore regions experience “only” a 4-fold increase. Throughout the upper 50 m of the northeastern Pacific, OAXs increase relatively linearly with time, but sudden rapid increases in yearly extreme days are simulated to occur in the thermocline of the far offshore regions of the central northeastern Pacific. These differences largely emerge from the spatial heterogeneity in the local [H+] variability. The limited offshore reach of offshore-propagating mesoscale eddies, which are an important driver of subsurface OAX in the northeastern Pacific, causes a sharp transition in the increase in OAX between the rather variable thermocline waters of nearshore regions and the very invariant waters of the central northeastern Pacific. The spatially and temporal heterogeneous increases in OAX, including the abrupt appearance of near-permanent extremes, likely have negative effects on the ability of marine organisms to adapt to the progression of OA and its associated extremes.

Authors: Armağan Mehmet
Published: December 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the post-graduation language status of secondary school students learning Turkish as a foreign language in Iraq and to determine the factors affecting the progress or deterioration in their language levels, if any. For this purpose, the desired language status of these people; they were evaluated according to gender, age groups and professions. Factors affecting the progress and decline in language levels were determined and listed according to the degree of impact. The research was conducted with the quantitative research method and the design of the study is a case study. Information was collected by semi-structured survey method, and descriptive scanning and relational scanning models were preferred among general scanning models in the study. The sample of the study consists of graduates who learned Turkish as a foreign language in schools in the city of Sulaymaniyah in Iraq between 1997 and 2022. A total of 414 people, 196 women and 218 men, participated in the research. The current language status of the participants and the factors that caused the improvement and deterioration of their Turkish language skills were determined according to the determined variables and the obtained values are; it was tried to be analyzed with the help of figures, tables and graphs. As a result, it has been observed that students who learned Turkish as a foreign language in Iraq reached a successful language level after graduation and improved their language skills at a significant rate after graduation. There are almost no studies on the language status of students who have completed their foreign language education, graduated and started business life. This makes this study very important and it will be one of the first important studies and resources in this field. More research needs to be done on the language status of students after graduation. Keywords: Foreign language Turkish, language after graduation, foreign language levels, language attrition, language development.

Atopic dermatitis is a prevalent and persistent chronic inflammatory skin disorder that poses significant challenges when it comes to accurately assessing its severity. The aim of this study was to evaluate deep learning models for automated atopic dermatitis severity scoring using a dataset of Aceh ethnicity individuals in Indonesia. The dataset of clinical images was collected from 250 patients at Dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia and labeled by dermatologists as mild, moderate, severe, or none. Five pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNN) architectures were evaluated: ResNet50, VGGNet19, MobileNetV3, MnasNet, and EfficientNetB0. The evaluation metrics, including accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, and F1-score, were employed to assess the models. Among the models, ResNet50 emerged as the most proficient, demonstrating an accuracy of 89.8%, precision of 90.00%, sensitivity of 89.80%, specificity of 96.60%, and an F1-score of 89.85%. These results highlight the potential of incorporating advanced, data-driven models into the field of dermatology. These models can serve as invaluable tools to assist dermatologists in making early and precise assessments of atopic dermatitis severity and therefore improve patient care and outcomes.

Este trabalho problematiza como as medidas protetivas expedidas com base na Lei Maria da Penha (Lei n°. 11.340/2006) são efetivadas na vida das mulheres em situação de violência a partir da intervenção do Grupo de Apoio às Vítimas de Violência (GAVV) que faz parte da Unidade Integrada de Segurança I (UNISEG I). Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar como as medidas protetivas estão sendo aplicadas na vida das mulheres que residem no território do Grande Vicente Pinzón e em outros territórios abrangidos pelo “Pacto por um Ceará Pacífico” por meio da atuação dos policiais do GAVV. E, ainda, observar como se efetiva a Lei Maria da Penha no cotidiano das mulheres em situação de violência; compreender a relação do GAVV com a rede de proteção a mulher em situação de violência e o que modificou no cotidiano das mulheres após o recebimento das medidas protetivas. A natureza da pesquisa é qualitativa e, fez uso de estudos de caso e de entrevistas que foram realizadas com mulheres atendidas pelo GAVV, assim como das narrativas dos policiais que compõem o referido grupo. Os achados da pesquisa são reveladores de alguns fatos, como a preocupação dos policiais que integram o GAVV em consolidar os serviços de execução das medidas protetivas. É visível a fragilidade de compreensão dos profissionais do GAVV diante de situações mais complexas do fenômeno da violência contra a mulher e, ao mesmo tempo, chama atenção a sensibilidade desses profissionais no cotidiano laboral que caracteriza todo um diferencial do fazer profissional comprometido. No que se refere às mulheres entrevistadas, é perceptível a avaliação positiva dessas acerca das medidas protetivas e do trabalho dos policiais que compõem o grupo, no entanto, o temor em relação a represália do autor da violência é constante em seus depoimentos, apesar de se declarem mais seguras com o trabalho/ações dos policiais do GAVV. Portanto, as medidas protetivas são um importante instrumento de proteção na vida dessas mulheres e, por isso, devem ser tratadas para além de medidas meramente repressivas. E, dessa forma, são necessárias ações e políticas do Estado que fortaleçam a rede de enfrentamento à violência contra a mulher, especificamente, contra as situações de violência em que essas mulheres estão submetidas, sem ignorar que para isso é necessário qualificar melhor os profissionais que lidam com problemáticas tão complexas da vida em sociedade.
