INTERNALIZED STIGMA AND STIGMATIZING CULTURAL BELIEFS ON PARENTING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS AMONG FEMALE PATIENTS WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA: A COMPARISON OF FEMALE PARENT VERSUS NON PARENT
Authors: Shettima Falmata , Rabbebe Isa , Wakawa Ibrahim , Wakil Musa
Published: February 2022

Purpose:  Differences in cultural values, norms and conceptualization of mental illness may influence mental illness stigma differently across the globe. Both public and self stigma have widely been researched globally however, little is known about the specific experiences of stigma that females, and in particular mothers, with schizophrenia encounter as parents in Nigeria. The study aims to explore and compare internalized stigma among female parents and female non-parents.  The secondary aim is to explore if any association exist between cultural beliefs on parenting with mental illness and internalized stigma among female patients with schizophrenia.

Methodology: 142 female patients with schizophrenia attending the GOPD clinic at FNPH Maiduguri recruited through convenience sampling completed the study.  They completed a socio-demographic questionnaire and a modified version of the Internalized stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI). Analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Differences in self stigma were compared using chi-square for categorical variables and student t- test for continuous variables.  P-value was set at 0.05.   

Findings: A total of 65 (75.6%) female parents and 32 (57.1%) of female non parents with schizophrenia had high self stigma. Female parents had a statically significant higher level of self stigma on the alienation subscale as well as the total score.  Myths and misconceptions about parenting with mental illness were rampant.

Conclusion: Self stigma is more prevalent among female parents with schizophrenia, with cultural beliefs and practices playing an important role in influencing stigma of mental illness. Further research of the impact of cultural factors on stigma of mental illness and culture specific interventions should be explored to reduce self stigma among parents with mental illness.

Published: February 2022

Purpose: The current study’s aim is to evaluate the probiotic potential of lactic acid bacteria strains isolated from traditional "Tchoukou" milk cheeses produced in a selected region of Niger.

Methodology: Nine Samples were collected in selected regions of Niger (Tahoua, Maradi, and Zinder).Probiotic properties of isolated LAB were identified based on their acid tolerance, bile salt tolerance, auto-aggregation ability, simulated stomach and duodenum passage, simulated gastric juice survivability and their antimicrobial activities.

Findings: A total of eighteen strains were analysed in vitro for acid tolerance, bile tolerance, survival under simulated gastro-intestinal tract conditions and antimicrobial activity against index organisms. The results indicated that all seventeen strains exhibited a high viability after twenty-four hours of incubation at pH 2.5 and pH 3, but a decreased viability at pH 2.0 in which only eight strains were able to survive, strain C13 failed to grow at the three different pH. In this study, the isolates generally survived better after exposure to 0.3% bile salt. Also were able to survive exposure to simulated stomach and duodenum passage (SSDP) for three hours ranging from (89%-100%).All strains were able to survive under simulated gastric juice at different pH (2, 2.5 and 3). for auto-aggregation Only fifteen isolates showed the best auto-aggregation abilities ranging from (15-83%) and the other two had less auto-aggregation ability (2-11%). The isolates showed diverse antimicrobial activity against the index organisms. Among the isolates, only three (C1, C2 and C9) could not inhibit any of the selected pathogens.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This study was conducted to characterize the probiotic properties of LAB isolate which could serve as a potential source for industries and commercial applications.
Adoption of HRIS in the Public Organizations: Institutional Logics Perspective
Authors: Naveed Shabana , Suhail Aneeqa , Rana Naveed Saeed
Published: February 2022

This study explored the adoption, benefits, and challenges of HRIS in a public organization in Pakistan. Using the case study approach, qualitative data was collected through in-depth interviews at various levels in a hierarchy. The study found that the organization could not achieve the benefits of HRIS as established in the literature. The adoption of HRIS remained quite slow and resulted in parallel systems (manual and automated) in the organization. In light of institutional logics perspective, the organization is struggling with contradictory pressures from the new logic of HRIS and the previous logic of manual HR system, which is costly for the organization. Out of various barriers identified, in the adoption of HRIS, the most crucial are lack of top management support and less technical knowledge to use the new system. The findings implied that mere adoption of HRIS could not produce the desired results until serious efforts were made for its successful implementation.
Tree Appraisal: Chronology of North American Industry Guidance
Authors: Cullen Scott
Published: February 2022

Various individual tree appraisal methods emerged during the first half of the 20th century. Development of North American industry consensus methods was undertaken in 1947. These methods have been refined and elaborated, and additional guidance has been provided in subsequent revisions. Appraisers and appraisal users, however, are not always aware of the most current methods and guidance and may, unknowingly, rely on outdated versions. The purpose of this paper is to provide an accurate and quick reference to the chronology of North American industry-wide consensus methods and guidance for tree and plant appraisal. The differences among methods, guidance, and standards are also explained.

Published: February 2022

Sampling can be used as a method for urban tree inventory estimation. There are several sampling methods available, and choices for urban tree inventory methods vary according to the place to be studied and the urban tree conditions. This study compared the results of simple and stratified random sampling methods with those of a total district tree census. The simple random sampling error was 17%, and the coefficient of variation was 47%. The stratified random sampling errors varied from 19% to 60%, and their coefficients of variation ranged from 32% to 70%, depending on the stratum. The Shannon diversity index (SDI) was low in the census (3.07), as in the simple random sampling (1.27). The total number of trees and the number of trees per kilometer of sidewalk calculated by the simple random sampling were similar to those obtained by the census. Because the sampling error obtained by stratified random sampling was higher than for that obtained by simple random sampling, the use of stratified random sampling was not advantageous when compared with simple random sampling. Furthermore, the stratified random sampling procedure was more complex.
Biological Vegetation Management: An Alternative To Chemical Pesticides
Authors: Vandenbroucke Jack , Gaucher Catherine , Major Norbert
Published: February 2022

We present data collected at 3 and 6 years on a rights-of-way project with Myco-Tech paste. This paste is based on a naturally occurring fungus (Chondrostereum purpureum (Pers. ex Fr.) Pouzar) in temperate climates that initiates wood decay. The project was done in Ste-Agathe, Québec, Canada, in 1998. After 6 years in the treated area, sprouting was sparse (density = 22,500 stems/ha [9,000 stems/ac]), and mean height was approximately 2.6 m (8.6 ft). In the control area, sprouting was uniform (density > 132,500 stems/ha [53,000 stems/ac]) and mean height was approximately 6 m (20 ft). According to Hydro-Québec's clearance standard at that site, the control area should have been cut last year. In the treated area, clearing is not needed for at least 3 to 4 years.
Integrated Vegetation Management On An Electric Transmission Right-Of-Way In Southeastern Pennsylvania, U.S.
Authors: Yahner Richard , Hutnik Russell
Published: February 2022

Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) via the wire­border zone method has been used for the maintenance of vegetation along an electric utility transmission right-of-way (ROW) at the Green Lane Research and Demonstration Area, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, U.S., since 1987. The wire­border zone method creates a forb­grass­short shrub cover type in wire zones and a tall shrub cover type in border zones. The Green Lane Research and Demonstration Area has been studied annually since 1987, which makes this 18-year-old project one of the longest continuous studies documenting the effects of mechanical and herbicidal maintenance on flora and fauna along an electric transmission ROW. In this paper, our objective is to present target (undesirable) tree density and cover-type development in response to IVM prior to the most recent treatment (June 1999) and 4 to 5 years after treatment. Excellent control of target trees was noted in 1999 in wire zones of mowing plus herbicide units; in contrast, tree control was poor in wire zones of mechanical units (mowing and handcut). Maximum tree height averaged 4.3 m (14 ft) and 4.9 m (16 ft) in wire and border zones, respectively. Immediately prior to the 1999 treatment of the Green Lane ROW, cover types in wire zones of herbicidal units (mowing plus herbicide, stem­foliage spray, and foliage spray) were classified as shrub­forb­grass­tree, whereas types in border zones of these units were tree­shrub­forb. Both wire and border zones of mechanical units were considered tree­shrub­forb cover type. The overall density of target trees increased 7.3% and 26.4% in wire zones and border zones, respectively, in 2004 compared to 2003. From 1999­2004, the most common target tree species on the Green Lane ROW was white ash (Fraxinus americana). In both 2003 and 2004, shrubs and forbs were the most important cover types in wire zones of all treatment units; grass cover type, however, was important in wire zones of five of the ten units. IVM of a ROW is a "tree resistant" but not a "tree proof " means of reducing tree invasion. Competition with existing plants and wildlife predation on tree seeds on a ROW managed via the wire­border zone method keeps tree invasion to a minimum. Thus, over the years since 1987, IVM and the wire­border zone method of ROW maintenance have increased the time between treatment cycles, thereby reducing labor and chemical costs for ROW maintenance.

The interpretation of the perceptions attributed by them allowed us to consider that the prospects for the future were due to the aspirations socially constructed by them in this process, which gave meaning to their personal experiences as women.
NATURAL SCIENCE EDUCATION AT SCHOOL: JOY OR CONCERN
Authors: Makarskaitė-Petkevičienė Rita
Published: February 2022

The introductory article of this issue deals with natural science education changes at school in recent years. For the science education to be successful, teacher qualification or student’s motivation are not enough, a good material base (laboratory, research equipment, tools and materials), and outdoor educational environments are needed. After implementing several projects in the country, the situation in schools has improved, but not enough. Much is expected from the activities of the STEAM centre network, which started on October 27, 2021. Of course, the change for the better is pleasing, however, there are also sad things. The small proportion of high school graduates who take exams in science (about 20% in biology, 5% – in chemistry, 9% – in physics), shows that there is an underlying problem – many find natural sciences a hard nut to crack. Studies in natural sciences should be dominated by research, experiment, observation – that is, a research activity component. And if this segment is ignored, it is difficult for many students to find connections between objects, phenomena, processes. Another problem is – the lack of nature teachers. What is more, life is full of challenges: climate change, pandemics, and so on. A certain level of scientific literacy is needed to comprehend the abundance of true and false news. It is important to bring the student closer to nature. But a teacher of any subject can help in that child’s path. After all, in the environment, in nature, there are many contexts suitable for learning other subjects as well. Especially as today’s global problems have outgrown the boundaries of natural sciences. Social and human sciences, and the arts must also be in closer relationship.

Is There Any Formula to Dream? Your Question Answered
Authors: Achyut Agrawal  , Yashasvi Agarwal
Published: February 2022

In 1923, Freud tried to make a distinction between the two types of dreams. Those which are “from above” and those which are “from below”. From Below dreams are those which are triggered by the unconscious wish which has been repressed. Dreams from above correspond to thoughts or intentions of the day before which have contrived during the night to obtain reinforcement from repressed material that is debarred from the ego. The thoughts and intentions that appear in these dreams are those of the day before. They are designed to induce the body to behave in a certain way during the night. In 1929, Freud explained that dreams could have been formulated just as well as they could have been created during the state of sleep. They could have been derived only from certain parts of the brain that were relatively deep. In short, dreams may arise either from the Instinctual Desires (Ids) or from the ego. Classification of any dream as an ego dream, as one 'from above '-and perhaps even this genetic category itself might be reconsidered at least for some instances. In this light, any thorough dream analysis must take account also of a formalist, stylistic approach (dealing with the grammar, figurative language, semantic patterns, and the like)-an approach quite in harmony with psychoanalysis. That is to say, whereas the cornerstone of modern Saussurean linguistics is that the connection between the signifier and signified is arbitrary, the cornerstone of modern stylistics is that the connection is motivated, non-arbitrary; and in that sense, formalism is close to psychoanalysis and its study of the non-arbitrariness of human behaviour and psychic activity. Through this paper, the authors want to conclude whether there is any particular formula/s (Either mathematical or subjective) to dream exist or not and what are the situations and factors that contribute to the formation of one’s dreams. This paper also highlights the different theories on dreams given by different researchers.

Toward a general calibration of the Swiss plate geophone system for fractional bedload transport
Authors: Nicollier Tobias , Antoniazza Gilles , Ammann Lorenz , Rickenmann Dieter , Kirchner James W.
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Substantial uncertainties in bedload transport predictions in steep streams have triggered intensive efforts to develop surrogate monitoring technologies. One such system, the Swiss plate geophone (SPG), has been deployed and calibrated in numerous steep water courses, mainly in the Alps. Calibration relationships linking the signal recorded by the SPG system to the transported bedload can vary substantially between different monitoring stations, likely due to site-specific factors such as the flow velocity and the bed roughness. Furthermore, recent controlled experiments have shown that site-specific calibration relationships can be biased by elastic waves resulting from impacts occurring outside the plate boundaries. Motivated by these findings, here we present a hybrid calibration procedure derived from flume experiments and an extensive dataset of 308 calibration measurements from four different field monitoring stations. Our main goal is to investigate the feasibility of a general, site-independent calibration procedure for inferring fractional bedload transport from the SPG signal. First, we use flume experiments to show that sediment size classes can be distinguished more accurately using a combination of vibrational frequency and amplitude information than by using amplitude information alone. Second, we apply this amplitude-frequency method to field measurements to derive general calibration coefficients for ten different grain-size fractions. The amplitude-frequency method results in more homogeneous signal responses across all sites and significantly improves the accuracy of fractional sediment flux and grain-size estimates. We attribute the remaining site-to-site discrepancies to large differences in flow velocity, and discuss further factors that may influence the accuracy of these bedload estimates.
Sea ice break-up and freeze-up indicators for users of the Arctic coastal environment
Authors: Walsh John E. , Eicken Hajo , Redilla Kyle , Johnson Mark
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Arctic coastal waters are characterized by seasonal retreat and advance of sea ice. The timing of advance and retreat varies substantially from year to year. Various activities, ranging from marine transport to the use of sea ice as a platform for industrial activity or winter travel, are affected by variations in the timing of break-up and freeze-up, resulting in a need for indicators to document the regional and temporal variations in coastal areas. Here we develop indicators based on daily sea ice concentrations derived from satellite passive microwave measurements. The “day of year” indicators are designed to optimize value for users while building on past studies characterizing break-up and freeze-up dates in the open pack ice. Relative to indicators for broader adjacent seas, the coastal indicators show later break-up at sites known to have extensive landfast ice, for which break-up typically lags retreat of the adjacent, thinner drifting ice. The coastal indicators also show an earlier freeze-up at some sites in comparison with freeze-up for broader offshore regions, likely tied to earlier freezing of shallow water regions and areas affected by freshwater input from nearby streams and rivers. A factor analysis performed to synthesize the local indicator variations shows that the local break-up and freeze-up indicators have greater spatial variability than corresponding metrics based on regional ice coverage. However, the trends towards earlier break-up and later freeze-up are unmistakable over the post-1979 period in the synthesized metrics of the coastal break-up/freeze-up and their corresponding regional ice coverage. The findings imply that locally defined indicators can serve as key links between pan-Arctic or global indicators such as sea-ice extent or volume and local uses of sea ice, with the potential to inform community-scale adaptation and response.

In this research, artichoke stem particles (AS) and wollastonite (W) were used as an organic and inorganic fillers in order to improve the mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP). In this regard, PP-matrix composites containing AS and W were produced as non-hybrid and hybrid using a high speed thermo-kinetic mixer. Mechanical properties of polymer composites were investigated by the tensile test. Experimental results reveal that the highest modulus of elasticity was obtained in PP-W and the highest tensile strength was obtained in raw PP while the lowest ultimate strain value was obtained in PP-W-AS. Then, multiple-nonlinear regression analysis was employed to determine the effect of weight ratios of W and AS in PP on modulus of elasticity, tensile strength and ultimate strain. Experimental results were expressed with polynomial, rational and trigonometric models. The results show that the proposed models have well fitted with the experimental results. The coefficient of determination (R2) values were found between 0.95 and 1 in all models. Also, boundedness check control of the proposed models which gives information about whether models are realistic or not was carried out by calculating the maximum and minimum values produced by the relevant model.

t-extending Krasner hypermodules
Authors: Nişancı Türkmen Burcu
Published: February 2022

Let M be a hypermodule over a hyperring R such that the intersection of any two subhypermodules of M is a subhypermodule of M. We introduce the concept of an t-essential subhypermodule in M relative to an arbitrary subhypermodule T of M, which is called T-t-essential subhypermodule of M. Our aim in this work is to investigate properties of t-essential subhypermodules. We apply this concept to introduce t-extending hypermodules. Examples are provided to illustrate different concepts.

Published: February 2022

Vehicles play a vital role in modern-day intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Plate characters provide a standard means of identification for any vehicle. To serve this purpose, an automatic license plate recognition system is studied. In this paper, we intend to create an optimized algorithm for implementing the scheme. Firstly, we undertake several challenging stages. The first step is introduced as the determination of plate location. Then, in the second phase, we apply an initial improvement to decline the likely noises using the Gaussian function to provide an appropriate filter for this target. Next, the rest of the project is organized as follows, finding the edge of images, enhancing modified pictures, and selecting the exact place of the plate. Afterward, tilting and plate rotation improvement and plate characters' extraction are considered two essential steps in this regard. Eventually, the final step of this project consists of several stages, such as employing a neural network to extract the plate characters automatically.

توجّه هذا البحث إلى رثاء الأبناءِ في الأدبِ الأندَلُسي بوصفهِ نمطاً من أنماط الرثاء الصادق الذي يبعثُهُ الإحساس بالفجيعة والخطب النازل، إذ إنَّ فقد الأبناءِ يمثلُ أفجعُ ما تأتي به كارثة الموت.

        وقد آثر الباحثانِ أن يتناولا هذا الرثاء المُفجعَ عند شاعرين أندلُسيين، الأول يمثل عصر الخلافة الأموية في الأندلس وهو الشاعر ابن عبد ربّه الأندلسي (246 ه – 328ه) وهو أُنموذجنا الأول، والأنموذج الثاني يمثل عصر الطوائف وهو المعتمد بن عبّاد ملك إشبيلية (431 – 488ه).

        وقد عوّل الباحثانِ على تأمُّلِ مراثي الشاعرين في ضوء بنائها ومضامينها في محاولةٍ لتلمُّسِ شعرية النصوص المعبّرة عن كارثة فقد الأبناء في الأدب الأندلسي عبر المدة التي حددها البحث.
شرط المال في هدنة الإمام الحسن (ع)

{... رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحاً تَرْضَاهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ } ([i]) صدق الله العلي العظيم .

وصل الله على النبي المختار وعلى آله الطيبين الأطهار الهادين المهديين الإبرار ، خلفائه الراشدين ، أمير المؤمنين ، والحسن والحسين والتسعة المعصومين من ذرية الحسين (عليهم السلام) . 

وبعد ...

من الأساسيات Basics في الموضوع معرفة المال ، ولماذا التركيز عليه أهو مهماً إلى هذا الحد ؟ طرقناه في جزئية بسيطة في القرآن الكريم ، تحت عنوان مفهوم المال ، كأننا اتخذناه مدخلاً لـ الموضوع ، ومن خلال ذلك دخلنا إلى أصل الموضوع لـ بيان أهميته في الهدنة ، الذي جاء في روايات مختلفة لم تتفق على تحديد الجهة المنتصرة في الحرب حتى تضع الشروط المناسبة ، أفادت احد الروايات ان الإمام الحسن (ع) هو المنتصر ، بيناها في محلها ، وناقض ذلك روايات أُخر أفادت ان معاوية هو المنتصر ، ناقشناها ، ومن ثم بينا الرواية أكثر قبولاً من غيرها ، وبينا موقف راضي آل ياسين من هذه الروايات ، ومناقشة دليل سامي البدري في رفض وجود المال معتمداً على ما أورد ابن شبة النميري ، في ما اسماه صدقات أمير المؤمنين (ع) .

ومما تجدر الإشارة إليه إننا أخذنا الروايات من مناهلها الأصلية ودرسناها متناً وسنداً وعلقنا قدر استطاعتنا المعرفية ان كان لنا ذلك، ومن منهجنا عدم كتابة مقدمة وخاتمة، وقائمة مصادر ، لأنها ضرراً على البحث ، موقفنا معروف من ذلك بيناه في أكثر من موضع ، ولكن نزولاً عند أمر صاحب التكليف كتبنا خاتمة ، هذا ما سمح به وقتنا ونعتذر لكم والعذر عند كرام القوم مقبولُ .

القياس بين علماء النحو العربي و علماء الشريعة الإسلامية

The analogy first was known to the Islamic scholars , and then transferred to the .Arabic teachers of grammar who had all accepted it and never rejected any of Us questions.

Though some of the Islamic scholars had rejected the analogy while some of them rejected some of its questions.

But still the analogy to the Arabic grammar was a base of which Arabic had enriched in most of its subjects: vocabulary, grammars syntax morphology and others.

And that analogy is the term that made the Arabic grammar concrete and well built

Published: February 2022

城鎮區為多領域作戰的重要戰場之一,美軍除了須面對佔有地利優勢之敵外,其中充滿各式管線的地貌、錯綜複雜的基礎設施、高樓林立與各式街道,以及各種人文層面因素等,都增添美軍軍陣醫療的困難度。

 美軍已習於現代化科技的醫療解決方案,然在面對實力匹敵者的衝突時,所有資訊科技設施勢必會遭破壞而中斷,屆時只能憑藉低科技手段從事各級醫療作業,美軍須重拾基本面的軍陣醫療,才能有效因應未來戰場。

 當前美軍軍陣醫療層級一、二、三等不足以因應城鎮戰,本文在各層級中提出精進建議,如尾門醫療、延長性戰場救護能力、善用當地傳統大型中心,以及軍種聯合方案等,希冀美軍的軍陣醫療在面臨城鎮戰時能發揮黃金救援時效。
