Materials and Methods: In current study total 3234 patients were selected and referred for abdomen ultrasound. There were 962 (28.7%) patients with clinical information provided for ultrasound while 2265 (70.0%) patients were without any clinical information. All Referral for ultrasound abdomen in Outpatient Ultrasound Department at Sandman Provincial Hospital and Civil Hospital Quetta were reviewed for written clinical information. In present study raw data were collected and analysed in patients with clinical information and without clinical information with SPSS 21. Results: Total Patients referred for ultrasound abdomen were 3234. There were 962 (28.7%) patients with clinical information provided for ultrasound, and 2265 (70.0%) patients without any clinical information. Data showed that most of patients were sent without any clinical information for ultrasound abdomen. Practical implication: Current study was clinical information in referral for ultrasound abdomen which is so important and informative forecast about the expected medical complications. Population can be facilitated through ultrasound because the majority of ultrasound scans are non-invasive and radiation-free ultrasound imaging is quite safe. Soft tissues are clearly visible with ultrasound scanning even if they are difficult to see on x-ray images. Imaging is provided in real-time by ultrasound. There are no known negative effects on humans from standard diagnostic ultrasonography. Conclusion. Standard referrals accompanied with clinical information are very important for ultrasound and all other radiological investigations. If the referral is not properly written with specified clinical information, it can cause miscommunication between radiologist and referring physician, resulting in the overburdening of the radiology department. It then leads to compromised patient care and safety. Keywords: Referral, Standard, Clinical Information, Ultrasound. Radiology, Ultrasonography, investigations, predominately, Abdomen.

Published: March 2023

Background: The rapid increase of caesarean sections has become the major public health problem. Caesarean section ratio is increasing day by day worldwide without knowing the factors with limited explanation that influence the rising trend without medical indications. Aims: To explore the driving factors which lead to the Caesarean Section and to evaluate the maternal choice without medical indication for Caesarean Section. Methodology: A Phenomenological qualitative approach was used with a semi structured open ended questionnaire. Sample size of ten pregnant women with a third trimester was used in this study. There was an individual in-depth interview with a time duration of 30-40 minutes. Purposive sampling technique was used in this study. Content analysis was done by using the Nvivo-10 software. Result: Participants were recruited from the urban and rural area. Interview session was 30-40 minutes which was convenient to the participant. All the interviews were audio tapes recorded. Interpretative Phenomenological analysis revealed five major themes which are: mother personal beliefs for caesarean section, lack of knowledge to make an informed choice, cultural and social influence, fear of labour pain, non-supportive behaviour of staff and management of health care system were made from these interviews. However, critical knowledge gaps were also observed among study obstetricians, particularly with regards to the indications for and timing of elective caesarean sections. Practical implication: The maternal choice of caesarean section without medical indications and the factors influencing the women decision-making process were complex. Therefore, these findings suggest that healthcare policy makers should attend to the factors that influence maternal choice about caesarean section and promote the normal vaginal birth among women. Conclusion: This study identifies the personal beliefs of mothers are the major factors for taking decisions regarding caesarean section. Furthermore, relative’s consultation with mother’s decision-making become the main influencer to conduct the caesarean section. There is the dire need to involve the relatives during the mother's antenatal period to support them to make the timely and right decision regarding the mode of birth.

Neste artigo, os autores se propõem a apresentar a relação entre mobilidade urbana e segregação socioespacial e como o descaso dos governantes colabora para tal crise na democracia das cidades. Apresenta, assim, proposições de enfrentamento desses conflitos, como o Desenvolvimento Orientado ao Transporte – DOTS, juntamente com acesso ao transporte gratuito, também conhecido como Tarifa Zero, em seus aspectos e desdobramentos dentro da temática.
COOPERAÇÃO PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO E TERCEIRIZAÇÃO DA AJUDA BILATERAL: UMA ANÁLISE DA FUNDAÇÃO FÉ E COOPERAÇÃO
Authors: Imbo Katia Aparecida dos Santos
Published: March 2023

O artigo procura analisar e refletir sobre a terceirização para um ator não-estatal da cooperação bilateral de Portugal na Guiné-Bissau no período de 2012 a 2019, enquanto um caso elucidativo da problemática da atuação de atores não-estatais no setor da educação nos países do Sul Global. A organização analisada foi a Fundação Fé e Cooperação (FEC) tendo em consideração que desde 2012 devido aos conflitos e à instabilidade política no país esta organização deu continuidade ao programa bilateral de Portugal no setor da educação (Santos & Silva, 2017). Recorrendo a um corpus documental e a entrevistas semiestruturadas que emanam de uma pesquisa de doutoramento em andamento, a reflexão permite inferir que a FEC atua na dimensão que Adrião (2018) definiu por privatização do currículo, aqui se trata da privatização dos processos pedagógicos strictu sensu, envolvendo as relações entre professor/a, estudante e conhecimento e insumos curriculares. A análise permitiu, ainda, constatar que esta terceirização da cooperação bilateral tem contornos similares ao que aconteceu no período colonial, uma vez que a FEC é uma entidade sem fins lucrativos, conectada com a Igreja Católica Portuguesa.
Collateral Legal Consequences and Criminal Sentencing
Authors: Hoskins Zachary
Published: March 2023

A criminal conviction can trigger numerous burdensome legal consequences beyond the formal sentence. Some charge that these “collateral” legal consequences (CLCs) constitute additional measures of punishment, which raises the further question of whether judges should consider these CLCs when making sentencing decisions, reducing the formal sentence in proportion to the severity of the CLCs the defendant will face. The idea that all CLCs constitute forms of punishment reflects a particular conception of punishment, which I call the “minimalist view.” In this paper, I argue against the minimalist view. I contend that on a more adequate conception of punishment, some but not all CLCs constitute punishment. I also argue that whether judges should consider CLCs in sentencing decisions depends on whether the relevant CLCs constitute punishment.

Authors: Li Daohang
Published: March 2023

With the rapid development of society and the increasing number of infrastructure projects, new huge demand for energy emerges, and, in the meantime, enormous resources are being consumed. Overusing coal, oil, and natural gas consumes resources and increases the greenhouse effect, releasing more toxic substances into the ecological environment. Therefore, in the past development process, the pollution problems caused by projects that relied on fossil fuels as power generation was relatively serious. The traditional energy supply model has yet to meet the requirements of current social development. Along with the emergence of green sustainable development, transformation and upgrading of the power generation industry have become urgent issues to deal with. To effectively solve the problem of environmental pollution and achieve green growth, the current society is actively developing clean and renewable new energy to help the power generation industry develop an energy-saving and environmentally friendly sustainable development model. Among power generation projects, new energy power generation projects play an important role. However, new energy is still developing, so the project investment cost is relatively high. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the construction quality of new energy power generation projects through scientific and effective means to achieve the goal of environmental protection during development.

Published: March 2023

There is an important effect for improving bit drilling performance to adjust tooth orientation of cone bit pertinently. In this paper, to determine tooth orientation reasonably, Tooth coordinate system was established. And a computational method for projecting and decomposing tooth velocity to the axes of tooth coordinate system was presented. Considering the layer condition, the tooth orientation was adjusted and determined. Although the instantaneous cone/bit speed ratio is ambiguity, there is some significance of practical application to use average cone/bit speed ratio when we compute. The methods for determining tooth orientation is easy to apply. It provides a theoretical basis for computing and determining tooth orientation, which has great guiding significance for optimal design of cone bit.

Reasonable pressure control algorithm can improve the safety and stability of proton membrane fuel cells. In this paper, based on the model of the total fuel cell system, the anodic fuzzy PID pressure control algorithm and the cathode fuzzy PID pressure following control algorithm for proton membrane fuel cells are designed, and the effectiveness of the fuel cell pressure control algorithm is studied through simulation analysis.
Accuracy of In-Field and Out-Field Doses Calculated by Analytical Anisotropic and Pencil Beam Convolution Algorithms: A Dosimetric Study
Authors: GÜL Osman Vefa
Published: March 2023

Out-of-field doses may affect the formation of secondary cancers, especially in radiosensitive organs, in patients treated with radiotherapy. The aim of this study is to investigate the in-field dose and out-of-field dose accuracy of Eclipse's analytic anisotropic algorithm (AAA) and pencil beam convolution (PBC) algorithms using TLDs. A tissue equivalent phantom containing a total of 21 measurement points at a depth of 5 cm from the anterior and posterior was created. Using Eclipse AAA and PBC algorithms in TPS, 100 MU for AP/PA fields and 95 cm source-skin distance (SSD) were planned. In-field measurement points including isocenter were 3, 5, 7 and 11 points for 3x3, 5x5, 7x7 and 10x10 cm2, respectively. Measuring points outside the field edge were 38, 36, 34 and 30 points for 3x3, 5x5, 7x7 and 10x10 cm2, respectively. In-field point dose values calculated by TPS for different fields were compared with TLD doses measured at the same location. The difference between in-field dose estimation and TLD measurements of both algorithms was generally below 1%. The difference between TPS and TLD was found to be 4.41% for the 10x10 cm2 irradiation field, due to the field edge at a distance of 5 cm from the isocenter. As the field size decreased, the out-of-field dose calculation performance of the AAA and PBC algorithms was adversely affected. For the 10x10 cm2 irradiation field, the TLD measurements and the out-of-field point dose difference of the PBC algorithm were found to be 39.40%. This difference was at most 12.06% for the AAA algorithm. The Eclipse TPS is good at calculating the in-field dose but underestimates the off-field dose. In out-of-field dose calculation, the AAA algorithm gives more accurate results than the PBC algorithm. Additionally, the smaller the field size, the worse the outfield dose accuracy. The use of in vivo dosimeters is recommended in order to estimate the out-of-field dose with great accuracy in radiotherapy.

These feelings are harmful to forming a positive perception among students, regarded as one of the essential aspects of learning. This study aims to identify the effectiveness of using student-created questions for assessing students’ performance in English grammar. The sample included 79 tenth-grade students in King Abdullah Schools of Excellence in Jordan. The study revealed that the student-centered approach is crucial in today's classrooms because it fosters students' feeling of self-efficacy and helps them see their potential. Particularly in the secondary and college levels, the active involvement of students is emphasised as bringing openness and creativity to a more conventional classroom. Students who are consistently engaged in the development of questions and self-evaluation are better able to recognize their areas of strength and weakness and are further motivated to engage in self-repair. Students perform better when assessments are used in the classroom that are focused on them as individuals. Since it promotes self-actualization, intrinsic motivation is more effective than extrinsic motivation. By taking into account, this component of education and student performance create a learning environment that can inspire students to learn on their own can help them build the mindset for lifelong learning. It gives students a sense of control in the classroom by using questions they have written as part of the evaluation process. As a result of these elements, students become more motivated as they actively participate in the teaching-learning process. The study recommends using the student-generated questions in the classroom as it leads to effective teaching as they help the students practice various writing and reading skills. In many instances, evaluation in the classroom utilizing student-created questions reveals a significant increase in writing and reading abilities. Using this kind of evaluation, students may also engage in healthy competition.

The volatility of crude oil price affects people from all walks of life. Since the start of the 21st century, the frequent booms and busts in crude oil price have caused a greater emphasis on forecasting the price. In order to make prediction from a new perspective, this paper combined both financial and non-financial factors and applied both bagging and boosting algorithms in ensemble learning to construct models. According to the results, both bagging and boosting algorithms achieved impressive improvements over the benchmark model. The ensemble learning models can not only reach high goodness-of-fit, but also attain excellent accuracy in direction prediction, which indicates the models can well realize the long term trend prediction of crude oil price. In brief, this paper enriched the content in predicting crude oil price and offer a guideline for the application of ensemble learning algorithms in such a field.
Do Investors Repeat History: Evidence from Post-pandemic Pharmaceuticals Industry
Authors: Zhou Shengyu
Published: March 2023

The pharmaceuticals industry in China has boomed because of the outbreak of COVID-19, but investors’ overreaction brings it to a sharp volatility. With the time going on, the pandemic has been well controlled recently, and investors have developed a deeper perception of it, thus the situation becomes different. However, few researchers move their attention to problems in the post-pandemic world: how the pharmaceuticals industry perform now and whether investors learn something from the history. These problems do make sense as they are more related to what people face of the moment. By building VAR and ARMA-GARCH-X model, this research conducts a time series analysis on these topics in the post-pandemic background. Since the series are stationary after some processing and the models pass strict test, some reliable conclusions are reached. It is found that the pharmaceuticals industry is less affected by COVID-19 nowadays as the pandemic has been normalized. What’s more, although investors repeat history, the degree of their irrationality is mitigated, indicating that history lessons at least leave some positive impacts on investors’ behaviors. Such conclusions suggest that policy makers should carry out hedging measures to reduce possible overreactions, and that investors should not follow the trend blindly, or the bubble will burst at any time.

Authors: Yang Mingxuan
Published: March 2023

Accompanying the progress of economy and financial market, the stock market has become one of the investment channels for many people. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to forecast the stock price with High accuracy. Based on the model of Autoregression (AR) and Autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) models, this paper collects the daily closing share price of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China from 1st January 2018, to 1st June 2021. An AR-ARCH model is established to analyze the model based on the time series under the difference method, and then to forecast the stock price of ICBC in the next 10 days. The predicted stock price is applied to compare with the actual observed value. At last, the conclusion that AR-ARCH model is a suitable model for forecasting volatility and return is drawn. After choosing the fitting model as the AR-ARCH model, the result can be got more quickly and conveniently when people forecast and analyze the volatility and return of a stock. In this way, it can reduce the risk of market volatility according to the forecast of the model and make the investment more stable. Moreover, it can also promote the further study of the AR-ARCH model, and study the uniqueness and universality of the model.

Authors: Liang Tingqian
Published: March 2023

China has seen a steady rise in the number of migrant children in recent years. Aside from focusing on educational barriers, the migrant-related public issue has shifted its attention to mental health. Previous discoveries on the state of migrant children's mental health in China has revealed a perceivable deviant trend along with multiple contributing causes. However, there are few studies concentrated on elaborating a consecutive course of migrant children's mental development under a dedicated psychological framework. Therefore, this study unfolded the progressing mental health status of migrant children within the framework of social identity theory. By expounding the flow of social categorization, social identification, and social comparison, this study enunciates that migrant children are categorized as social-outcasts and frustrated-adaptors under the influence of institutions and culture. Then they are tended to be subject to marginalized identification by community social capital. At the same time, there are promising mediating factors contributed by family and school, which render them identification of sense of belonging. It is followed by an inevitable phase of social comparison, during which upward comparison strengthens the positive effect of social support and spontaneous inclusion. This study also provided implications on the aspect of government, family, and school level to exert joint efforts to accelerate migrant children's adaptability into urban contexts with a well-off mental status.
