Published: January 2023

In the current study, the peculiarities of the complexation of Hafnium(IV) with 6,7-dihyroxy‑4-carboxyl‑2-phenylbenzopyrylium salts (CDC) in binary systems and in the presence of cationic surfactants (Surf) were studied. The CDC was synthesized by condensation of pyrogallol A with benzoylpyruvic acid in an acetic acid medium in the presence of perchloric acid. To obtain KDC bromide and chloride, the synthesis was carried out in the presence of bromide acid or by sparging of dry hydrogen chloride, respectively. Using classical spectrophotometric methods of molar ratios and Bent-French, it was found that at pH 2.5 in binary system one complex with stoichiometry Hf(IV): CDC1:2 was formed. Molar absorptivity coefficient was calculated for Hf(IV) complex with CDC and it was equal 3,9⸱104. It was shown that in the presence of cetylpyridinium chloride or cetyltrimetrylammonium bromide complexes with a molar ratio of Hf(IV): CDC: Surf = 1:2:2 were formed. It is noted that the complexes were formed within 10–15 minutes, and the absorbance of the solutions remains constant for at least 2 hours. It was established that the nature of the anion, which is part of the reagent, does not significantly affect the characteristics of the analytical form. It is shown that in the presence of cationic surfactants, the optimal pH of complex formation shifts to a more acidic region. In addition, the introduction of cationic surfactants leads to a batachromic shift of the absorption band by 10–15 nm and an increase in the molar absorptivity to 5.8⸱104 and 6.4⸱104 when cetylpyridinium chloride or cetyltrimetrylammonium bromide were used respectively. It is noted that the found analytical forms can be used as a basis for the development of combined spectroscopic methods for determining trace amounts of Hafnium(IV).

Published: January 2023

The study of data on acid-base properties of model systems SO2 – KOH – TrOOO – H2O and SO2 – Am – TrOOO – H2O (TrOOO – tropeoline OOO; Am – diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), N‑methylmonoethanolamine (MMEA) and morpholine (Mf) at 293 K using pH-, spectrophotometry and colorimetry methods are presented. There is a pronounced isosbestic point at 415 nm in the electronic absorption spectra of the systems SO2– Am –TrOOO– H2O (Am = MMEA, MEA and TEA; pH ≤ 7.5; T = 293 K), which indicates the presence of a dynamic equilibrium between ion-molecular forms. According to the width of the absorption spectra, the bases in the region of 2.0 ≤ pH ≤ 8.0 can be arranged in the following row: MEA > Mf > KOH > DEA > TEA > MMEA. The bases can be arranged in the following rows for the effect on optical density at 490 nm: KOH > Mf ≥ MEA > DEA ≥ TEA (at 5.5 ≤ pH < 9.0); KOH = MEA = Mf > DEA = TEA (at pH < 6.0).
According to the values of optical density at 360 nm in the region of 2.0 ≤ pH < 8.5, the bases can be arranged in the following row: Mf > KOH ≥ MEA ≥ DEA > MMEA > TEA.
The total color difference (ΔE76) and specific color difference (SCD) values were calculated by colorimetric method as a function of pH. The acid–base dissociation constants in the SO2 – Am (KOH) – TrOOO – H2O systems significantly depend on the structure and physicochemical properties of the organic base and differ significantly from those in the HCl (HClO4, H2SO4) – MEA – TrOOO – H2O systems.
The interrelation of colorimetric functions was established (total color difference and specific color difference) of SO2 – Am – TrOOO – H2O systems with molar refraction Am, empirical function pKa – lgPow, which combines the basicity and hydrophilicity of Am, formation constants of ammonium sulfites and hydrosulfites, pH- (dpH/dpQSO2), redox- (dЕ/dpQSO2) and conductometric (Dk) titration curves of Am aqueous solutions with gaseous sulfur dioxide.

The purpose of the article is to establish the illocutionary aims of praise and compliment speech acts. The object of the study is praise and compliment speech acts, depicted in the English-language communication of the personages of fictional discourse. The scope of study is the general and differential illocutionary aims of praise and compliment speech acts in the personages’ communication of fictional discourse. The work is based on the method of observation and contextual-interpretive analysis. The result of the study of the problem was the definition of praise and compliment as related positively evaluative speech acts that combine the features of expressives, behabitives, satisfactives and sometimes function as phatic speech acts. Both acts are aimed at expressing positive evaluation, positive impact on the recipient's emotions, creating a favourable atmosphere for communication and observing a social ritual. Conclusions: a part from the general illocutionary aims of praise and compliment speech acts, differential illocutionary aims have been established and analyzed in the personages’ communication of modern fictional English-language discourse. The practical value of the investigation is seen in the offered classification of speech act illocutionary aims that can serve as a possible model for research of speech acts.
EVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENT OF THE GERMAN LANGUAGE AND ITS DIALECTS
Authors: Kulina I.
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to the evolutionary development of the German language and its dialects (Bavarian and Swabian — Alemannic). The relevance of the topic is determined by the fact that, despite the dominance of the Standardsprache on the territory of modern Germany, local dialects are also sufficiently widespread in it, which have recently gained more and more prestige, especially among young people. The purpose of this study is to analyze the linguistic features of southern German dialects (Bavarian and Swabian — Alemannic) and to identify their genetic links with the modern German language — Standarddeutsch / Standardsprache. Texts (artistic and newspaper) in the specified dialects and identical in Standarddeutsch, dialect maps (atlases) of the German language, ancient and modern dictionaries served as research material. The work uses descriptive and comparative-historical methods. The object of research is German southern dialects (Bavarian and Swabian — Alemannic). The subject of the study is the linguistic characteristics of southern German dialects and their connection with the modern German language. Using the example of the development of German dialects (Bavarian and Swabian-Alemannic) and their interaction with Standarddeutsch, it can be argued that the German language, based on the laws of linguistic synergy, is a complex open information system that is constantly developing, but at the same time preserves information about its former states, and the combination of past and present knowledge provides an opportunity to identify the future development prospects of the system. The results of the study make it possible to predict further changes in the modern German language at all its levels (phonetic, lexical, grammatical), taking into account various dialectological features that are introduced into the German language system. The obtained data on the evolutionary development of the German language and its dialects (Bavarian and Swabian — Alemannic) is of certain importance for the study and teaching of «History of the German Language», «Introduction to Germanic Philology», dialectology, as well as a practical course of the German language.
SECTOR DISCOURSE/TEXT IN THE NOMINATIVE FIELD OF THE COMPLEX CONCEPT WORD / LANGUAGE / SPEECH
Authors: Smaglii V. M.
Published: January 2023

The article is dedicated to the study of the complex concept WORD / LANGUAGE / SPEECH and its medial zone in the naпve picture of the world within a framework of a new scientific direction — dual linguistics: scientific and naive interpretation of language in the English lexicography. The complex concept WORD / LANGUAGE / SPEECH, which is verbalized by nominative units extracted from English general lexicographic sources, is considered. The nuclear zone of the naпve picture of the world counts three lexemes (which together contain 42 sememes), among which 161 semes have been filtered by means of seme analysis method. The most common semanteme, present in all nuclear lexemes, is the idea of the bilateral nature of any communicative unit. All of the nuclear zone lexemes in the primary dictionary position contain the seme, which emphasizes the unity of content and form of the phenomena under consideration. The medial zone of the nominative field of the verbalized WORD / LANGUAGE / SPEECH complex concept is many times bigger and more variable in comparison with the nuclear zone. It includes more than 700 lexical units with semantic components language, speech, communication. According to the thematic principle, the collected material was divided into 6 sectors: communication; units of language, speech; discourse, text; phonetical, grammatical and stylistic phenomena; language / dialect / slang, speaker; linguistics. The given sector contains nominative units of the English vocabulary to indicate various types of institutionalized discourse, primarily means of written fixation of human communication in public and private spheres. The evolution of verbal communication between people from ancient times to the present is reflected in a diverse palette of nominations of communicative phenomena of religious, artistic, scientific, legal and business, mass media and even everyday communication.
LINGUAL FEATURES OF ENGLISH FAN FICTION
Authors: Stanko D. V.
Published: January 2023

The article highlights lingual features of the English fanfiction. The work offers a brief outline of history, main forms and modern trends in fan fiction studies as a genre of web literature. The relevance of the study of fan fiction is due, above all, to the fact that these works are a bright example of the so called live language. They reflect all modern language trends, express the musical, literary and film preferences of the society. In addition, fan fiction is an understudied phenomenon that has existed in various forms, but has received the greatest impetus in development only in recent decades. The term fan fiction is defined as a kind of creativity of fans of popular works of art, a derivative literary work based on any original work that uses its ideas of the plot and characters. It is the type of mass literature, created on the basis of a work of art by fans of this work, which do not pursue commercial purposes and are intended for reading by other fans. In the course of the research it has been established that the genre of fanfiction is a group of works written on a certain topic: Action; Adventure; Detective; Romance; Fluff; Humour; Dark; Deathfic; Angst; PWP (Plot, What Plot?). The analysis of the linguistic features of the nominative system of English fanfiction showed that it performs a number of important functions: communicative, nominative, emotional-evaluative, expressive, phatic, signalling/identification. The most significant quality/property of fan fiction is the “secondary nature” of fan creativity, in connection with which one of the key research tasks is the study of the relationship between the original text and fan fiction. It is interesting that fanfiction from the standpoint of literary studies/linguistics is initially evaluated as a phenomenon that belongs to the lowest manifestations of paraliterature and therefore does not deserve serious attention. However, determining the place and status of fan fiction in the modern speech process is one of the tasks, the solution of which is relevant for researchers. The perspective of this study is the analysis of structural, stylistic and pragmatic features of fan fiction discourse.

Published: January 2023

Objective: The importance of whole person care interventions is increasingly appreciated in the literature. Spiritual care is one of these dimensions and has been desired by a large percentage of clinical populations in critical care situations. A typical assumption is that spiritual care would be provided by chaplains. There is limited research exploring parents’ perspectives on spiritual care from the medical team in general and from physicians particularly. The objective of this study was to further elucidate the parent experience on receiving spiritual care from varied members of the medical team. Methods: An anonymous survey was distributed to parents and caregivers at a single institution. A smaller subset of parents were further interviewed in order to obtain qualitative data which was analyzed using a general inductive approach. Results: Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from the caregivers and legal guardians of NICU patients in the form of 108 quantitative surveys and 16 qualitative interviews. Parents indicated openness to receiving spiritual care from various members of the medical team and did not have strong barriers to receiving various types of spiritual care, nor significant barriers to receiving spiritual care from those of differing faiths or spiritual beliefs. Conclusion: Guardians typically expect spiritual care from chaplains, however this study demonstrates caregivers also appreciate spiritual care from other members of the healthcare team including their physician. This validates the importance of educating physicians in how to provide spiritual care for families in critical care settings.
The Trinity, Sexuality, and Gender In Sarah Coakley's Thought
Authors: Susanta Yohanes Krismantyo , Putra Yeremia Yordani
Published: January 2023

This paper focuses on the thoughts of Sarah Coakley who tried to enter into dialogue with the concepts of the trinity, sexuality, and gender. According to Coakley, the root cause of sexuality and gender lies in desire (eros). Coakley made a strong critique of Sigmund Freud’s thinking. If it was Freud who said the desire for God was really about sex, on the other hand, Coakley asserted, sexual desire was always about the desire for God. Coakley approaches the reality of the Trinity and relates it to the problem of human desire through contemplation. The practice of contemplation provides clues about how one can transcend existing gender and sexuality stereotypes. The contemplation that is at the heart of Coakley’s thinking plays a very important role in approaching the Trinity, and from there he addresses issues of sexuality and gender.
Neotectonics of the Sarıköy-Đnova and Çan-Bayramiç-Ezine fault zones: basin formation, age and Slip Rates, NW Anatolia-Turkey
Authors: KOÇYİĞİT Ali
Published: January 2023

he Sarıköy-Đnova and the Çan-Bayramiç-Ezine fault zones (SIFZ, ÇBEFZ) comprise the southern strand of the North Anatolian Fault System in the Biga Peninsula. They are located in the area between Sarıköy to northeast and the Dalyan settlement around Bozcaada in the North Aegean Sea to southwest. Both of the fault zones are active. This is evidenced by the 6 March 1737 (Ms =7.0) Đnova, 1st February 1809 Hurma (Ms = 6.1), and the 8 February 1826 Güllüce (Ms = 6.2) historical earthquakes resulted from these fault zones. Maximum lengths of fault segments comprising the SIFZ and the ÇBEFZ are 14 km and 15 km, respectively. Based on the maximum lengths of fault segments, the magnitude of the peak earthquakes to be originated from these faults are Mw = 6.3 and 6.6, respectively. Based on both the geological and geographic markers, the total right lateral offsets accumulated on the SIFZ and ÇBEFZ are 12 km and 20 km, respectively. These offset values imply to the slip rates of 4.6 mm/yr and 7.7 mm/yr, respectively. Five pull-apart basins were developed on both fault zones. These are the Sarıköy, Đnova, Kazabat, Çan and Ezine-Bayramiç basins. The first three of them are pure strike-slip pull-apart basins, while the type of the rest basins is superimposed. The angular unconformity between the nondeformed basin fill of Quaternary age and the folded to thrust-faulted basement rocks of pre-Quaternary age reveals strongly that the pull-apart basins have formed during the Quaternary time. This relationship also reveals that the commencement age of the strike-slip neotectonic regime and formation of associated fault zones are the Early Quaternary.
Contextual Uncertainty Assessments for InSAR-Based Deformation Retrieval Using an Ensemble Approach
Authors: Olsen Kelly , Calef Matthew , Agram Piyush
Published: January 2023

InSAR and associated analytic methods enable relative surface deformation measurements from low Earth orbit with a potential accuracy of centimeters to millimeters. However, assessing the actual accuracy can be quite difficult. The analytic methods are complicated enough that naive analytic error propagation is infeasible, and, in many settings, InSAR practitioners lack sufficient ground truth to assess results. Phase noise due to partial decorrelation from changes in the scattering properties of the ground is a prominent source of accuracy loss. In this paper we present a method to assess the loss of precision due to this component of phase noise. The proposed method consists of generating synthetic data stacks whose statistical properties match those of the actual input SAR data stacks, and then using the synthetic data for an ensemble calculation. The spread of the results of the ensemble calculation indicates the loss of precision. We show examples of the ensemble analysis at a mining operation in South Africa, and demonstrate the ability to estimate the precision of two InSAR deformation retrieval methods on a point-by-point and epoch-by-epoch basis.
Versatile DMA Engine for High-Energy Physics Data Acquisition Implemented with High-Level Synthesis
Authors: Zabołotny Wojciech Marek
Published: January 2023

FPGA-based cards for data concentration and readout are often used in data acquisition (DAQ) systems for high-energy physics experiments. The DMA engines implemented in FPGA enable efficient data transfer to the processing system’s memory. This paper presents a versatile DMA engine. It may be used in systems with FPGA-equipped PCIe boards hosted in a server and MPSoC-based systems with programmable logic connected directly to the AXI system bus. The core part of the engine is implemented in HLS to simplify further development and modifications. The design is modular and may be easily integrated with the user’s DAQ logic, assuming it delivers the data via a standard AXI-Stream interface. The engine and accompanying software are designed with flexibility in mind. They offer a simple single-packet mode for debugging and a high-performance multi-packet mode fully utilizing the computational power of the processing system. The number of used DAQ cards and the amount of memory used for the DMA buffer may be modified in runtime without rebooting the system. That is particularly useful in the development and test setups. The paper also presents the development and testing methodology. The whole design is open-source and available in public repositories.

Published: January 2023

Dibenzocycloctynes have emerged as a promising scaffold for bioorthogonal ligation. An important structural aspect that has not been addressed so far is connected with their chirality. Herein, we explore by theoretical and experimental methods this structural aspect that has been so far neglected. First, a computational analysis is conducted and results are used as a guideline for experimental investigation. Next, an array of different experiments (HPLC on chiral columns, chiroptical spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction) for structure elucidation are scrutinized in concert. Finally, this work demonstrates the chirality and the stereodynamic behavior of dibenzocycloctynes and of their triazole adducts with simple azides and uncover their conformational behavior.
Freshwater Cyanobacterial Toxins, Cyanopeptides and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Authors: Nugumanova Galina , Ponomarev Eugene D. , Askarova Sholpan , Fasler-Kan Elizaveta , Barteneva Natasha S.
Published: January 2023

Cyanobacteria produce a wide range of structurally diverse cyanotoxins and bioactive cyanopeptides in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems. The health significance of these metabolites, which include genotoxic- and neurotoxic agents, is confirmed by continued associations between the occurrence of animal and human acute toxic events and, in the long term, by associations between cyanobacteria and neurodegenerative diseases. One of the implicated mechanisms includes a misincorporation of cyanobacterial non-proteogenic amino acids leading to mistranslation and protein misfolding. A better understanding of the interaction between the cyanopeptide metabolism and the nervous system will be crucial to target or to prevent pathogenic response.

Authors: Patel Jay S. , Kumar Krishna , Zai Ahad , Shin Daniel , Willis Lisa , Thyvalikakath Thankam P.
Published: January 2023

Objective: Determine the feasibility of utilizing longitudinal electronic dental record (EDR) data to track change over time in patient periodontal disease (PD) and to generate three patient cohorts: 1) patients whose disease did not change over time, 2) patients whose PD progressed, and 3) patients whose disease improved over time using informatics approaches. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 28,908 patients who received a comprehensive oral evaluation between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2014, at the Indiana University School of Dentistry (IUSD) clinics. We developed and tested three automated computer applications to: 1) diagnose periodontitis cases from periodontal charting, 2) retrieve clinician-documented diagnoses from clinical notes, and 3) track disease change over time. We also evaluated the density of longi-tudinal EDR data for the following follow-up times: 1) none, 2) up to 5 years, 3) >5 and <=10 years, and 4) >10 and <=15 years Results: Thirty-four percent (n=9,954) of the study cohort had up to five years of follow-up visits with an average of 2.78 visits with periodontal charting information. An average of three patient visits per year that contained periodontal charts (63,552) were utilized to obtain a diagnosis, which is considered excellent. For clinician-documented diagnoses from clinical notes, 42% of patients (n=5,562) had at least two PD diagnoses to determine their disease change. In this cohort with cli-nician-documented diagnoses, 72% percent of patients (n=3,919) did not have a disease status change between their first and last visits, 669 (13%) patients' disease status progressed, and 589 (11%) patients’ disease improved. Conclusions: This study demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing longitudinal EDR data to track disease changes over 15 years during the observation study period. We found excellent longitudinal data when diagnoses generated from periodontal charting were considered (three visits per pa-tient). This information can be now utilized for studying the clinical course of periodontitis.
Re-Visiting Viking Vinland: II. 'Virtual Excavation' of 'Keelness', a Viking Shipwreck Site in North America
Authors: Haynes Royce , Franklin Matthew , Goosney Jamie , Goosney Denise
Published: January 2023

The series of papers, 'Re-Visiting Viking Vinland', encompasses a re-evaluation of the Viking voyages from Greenland to North America, from about 985 to 1026 A.D. Searching for their American landfalls used multiple approaches: clues from Norse sagas, logic, creative imagination, and advanced imaging technology. Paper I described locating 'Keelness', a Viking shipwreck site in Newfoundland, Canada, but Covid-19 prevented professional, on-site follow-up. Paper II describes our alternative, a 'virtual excavation', using only remote imaging via drone, plus advanced data-processing of both visible and thermal (infrared) data. Starting with the 'stocks', a support structure for Viking ship repair, other features were accidentally found, identified, and interpreted. These included damaged hull planks ('strakes'), parts of the broken keel, a pit-house for shelter, and the hole where a keel-piece was erected as a navigational marker; with the site named (Norse, 'Kjalarnes') ('Keelness' or Keel Point). Results of this non-contact, non-destructive 'virtual excavation' supported our hypothesis that this site is the 'Keelness' mentioned in the Norse sagas. Fragments of Leif Eriksson's original ship may still be preserved in a sphagnum moss bog after 1000 years, accessible for further study, and perhaps providing valuable information on both provenience (origin) and provenance (history) of these iconic artifacts.
Extraction Mudarabah from IFI: Reposition of Mudarabah as a Cooperation System of Islamic Socio-Economics
Authors: Nurohman Dede
Published: January 2023

Mudarabah is the core of the Islamic cooperation system, which is expected to improve people's welfare. Its practice in Islamic Financial Institutions (IFI) has not realized that goal. One reason is forcing this system to become a profit-oriented formal financial institution. This paper aims to reveal the problems of the institutionalization of mudarabah and attempt to reposition it from IFI to a cooperation system of Islamic socio-economic so that the lofty goals of this system can be realized. This research uses literature and field studies. Data mining techniques use documentation, interviews, and participant observation. The research findings show that four aspects are applied in worksheets that conflict with the essential characteristics of mudarabah, namely, capital and determination of profit sharing, business management, determination of business period, and guarantees. Efforts to reposition mudarabah into the cooperation system of Islamic socio-economic are carried out by removing mudarabah from the IFI and allowing it to become a cultural system that facilitates community needs in economic interaction or to become a cooperation system within the Baitul Mal which positions the Baitul Mal as nothing more than a facilitator that brings together sahibul mal and mudarib.
Determinants of Capital Structure: Analysis of the Islamic Banking Industry in the ASEAN Region
Authors: Waluyani Iin , Muflih Muhammad
Published: January 2023

This study aims to evaluate the factors that influence the capital structure of the Islamic banking industry in the ASEAN region using the trade-off theory as a basis for decision-making. In trade-off theory, book leverage can proxy capital structure as the dependent variable and bank-specific factors, including profitability, earnings volatility, bank size, asset growth, asset structure, and bank age, as independent variables. In addition, it also considers macroeconomic conditions, which are manifested in the gross domestic product and the inflation rate. The study results show that total assets can affect the level of debt because fixed assets can be used as collateral when the bank takes on debt. While other factors do not have a significant effect on the debt level of Islamic banks. These results are the first empirical study to explore the determinants of the capital structure of Islamic banks in the ASEAN region with different variables from previous research and updated sample data, namely the 2016-2020 period.

This study uses a quantitative approach to analyze the determinant of intention to adopt Islamic fintech. The analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the SmartPLS application tool to examine the relationship between variables in the model. 205 respondents were selected through a purposive sampling technique to get Muslim respondents in Jabodetabek and Bandung who had used fintech applications but had not used sharia fintech. The results showed that the determinant of intention to use Islamic fintech is positively and significantly influenced by Perceived Usefulness (PU) and attitude (A). Meanwhile, perceived ease of use (PEOU), trust (T), and religiosity (R) have a positive but not significant effect on the intention to use (ITU) Islamic fintech. Indirectly, perceived ease of use and trust has a positive and significant effect on the intention to use Islamic fintech through perceived usefulness (PU) and attitude variables; perceived usefulness (PU) and religiosity (R) have a positive and significant effect on the intention to use Islamic fintech through attitude.

In 2019 BWUT MUI DIY managed to raise waqf funds of Rp.627,352,991 with a wakif number of 1854 people. But there is a difference in increased Rp. 27,352,991 of 174 wakifs in 2 years by BWUT MUI DIY. These problems are influenced by professionalism in the management of cash waqf. In addition, there is still the management of waqf institutions that are less than ideal and by GCG principles. This study aimed to determine the effect of each direction of GCG in waqf management on wakif trust. This research is quantitative by sample waqf in BWUT MUI DIY. The data was obtained by questionnaire and analyzed using SEM-PLS supported by the SmartPLS 3.0 application software. The findings in this study indicate that the transparency variable has three t-statistics greater than 1.64, so it can be identified as significant to wakif trust. While the independency variable has an OSE value of -0.341 which means it is negative with a t-statistic greater than 1.64, this result indicates that the better the implementation of independence. And the accountability variable does not affect wakif trust by a t-statistic value of 0.458. However, the transparency variable can be interpreted that the better the implementation of the GCG principle in the waqf institution impacted to increasing the level of wakif trust.

The ability to read early childhood is caused by one of the factors in the family environment. So whether or not a child is able to read letters or words depends on how the parenting style is at home. This study uses a quantitative method with the type of ex-post-facto research. The total population of group B in TK Muslimat NU 001 Ponorogo is 129 children. The sample used is 56 children taken by random sampling technique. Data collection tools using questionnaires, observations, and documentation. Data analysis in this study used simple linear regression. The significance level set is 0.05. In calculating the data, the researchers used SPSS 25 For Window and Microsoft Excel applications. The results of this study stated that the value of Sig. (2-tailed) in a simple linear regression test that is 0.00. When compared with a significance level of 0.05 (5%), the significance value of the variable is smaller than the significance level. Thus it can be concluded that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. This means that there is an effect of parenting variable (x) on the variable of reading habits (y) in group B at TK Muslimat NU 001 Ponorogo

Introduction-Objectives: Previous studies have demonstrated the lack of a universal measurement system or gold standard, prompting the development of a scale using the most representative theoretical and empirical models. The objective of this study is to validate the scale and investigate the factors that influence it.
Methodology: A validation study was conducted through a cross-sectional descriptive observational study of nursing consultations of chronic patients located in a hospital.
Results: The scale under study had a reliability of 0.846, with an interclass correlation of 0.149. The scale was modified with nine items, resulting in a reliability of 0.750 and an intraclass correlation of 0.835. There was a good correlation between the socioeconomic data and the characteristics of the dwelling. In regression models, these data (socioeconomic and housing) seemed to have the highest incidence.
Discussion: The data, as in other studies, confirmed the values of risk factors that affect adherence values, emphasizing socioeconomic and housing data. The modified scale presented acceptable reliability data.
Conclusions: The scale can be used to measure adherence to patients with chronic diseases; however, it would be useful to increase the number of patients under study and achieve representativeness in each chronic disease.
Maximize-Minimum User Capacity for UBS and WiFi Systems by Optimizing UBS Position and User offloading

Published: January 2023

In recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) communication has become very popular, with the characteristics of strong flexibility, Line-of-Sight (LoS) communication link capability, and low cost. In some disasters or remote areas, the ground base station (BS) is damaged. In some disasters or remote areas where ground base stations (BS) are damaged, using this method UAV-mounted BS (UBS) combined with ubiquitous WiFi can still continue to serve users and provide them with better communication services. In this paper, we combine UBS with WiFi to maximize the minimum user capacity in the system by optimizing the UBS location, user offloading and spectrum allocation. In this system, users are divided into WiFi subscribers (WSs) and cellular subscribers (CSs). WSs can only connect to WiFi Access Point (AP), and CSs are allowed to connect to both the UBS and APs or only UBS. This optimization problem is an NP-hard problem, and it is difficult to find the result directly. To solve this problem, we use the Block Coordinate Descent Algorithm (BCDA), which divides the total problem into three subproblems and solves them in alternating iterations. Finally, we compare the results obtained by the BCDA with the results obtained by the exhaustive algorithm. The comparison results show that the results of our proposed solution are close to those obtained by the exhaustive algorithm, and the complexity is much lower than that of the exhaustive algorithm.

Background: The fear of childbirth harms maternal and fetal health, but it is little studied in Brazil. This study aimed to calculate the prevalence of fear of childbirth in a maternity hospital in southern Brazil and its associated factors, besides to identify the content of the fear and the information sources about childbirth.
Methods: The Wijma Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire (Version A) was used to calculate the prevalence of fear of childbirth, and it's score was associated with sociodemographic variables, gestational history, aspects of the current pregnancy, knowledge about childbirth, anxiety symptoms (Beck Anxiety Inventory), depressive symptoms (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) and perception of social support (Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support). Were also applied questionnaires about the content of the fear of childbirth and information sources about childbirth. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney, Spearman and Kruskal-Wallis correlation tests were used in the statistical analysis.
Results: Were included 125 pregnant women between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, and 12% of them scored ≥85 on the Wijma Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire (Version A), indicating severe fear of childbirth. There was a significant correlation between fear of childbirth and anxiety symptoms (r=0.50, p<0.001), depressive symptoms (r=0.34, p<0.001) and social support (r=-0.23, p=0.008). The fear was lower in pregnant women with complete elementary education compared to those with higher education (p=0.003), and those with negative experiences in previous deliveries had more fear of childbirth than who had positive experiences (p=0.001). More than 85% of them fear fetal distress.
Conclusions:Fear of childbirth is a prevalent condition and health professionals must know how to recognize and address it during prenatal care, improving maternal-fetal care.
