Published: March 2023

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) have received a great deal of attention from the wireless communication community due to their powerful ability to improve the wireless communication environment. Dual-band RIS enables aperture to share two bands, improving spectrum utilization in wireless communications and thus expanding communication capacity. However, most of the reported dual-band RISs cannot achieve independent controls of the dual-band phases, which greatly limits their practical application in wireless communications. In this paper, we propose a dual-band 3-bit RIS to achieve independent controls of the reflection phases in two frequency bands by designing two tunable structures without raising the profile. It also exhibits low sensitivity to incident angles between 0 and 50. Thereafter, the beam steering ability of the proposed RIS is further investigated with experiments under normal and oblique incidences at two frequencies, which demonstrates the powerful potential of RISs to manipulate the electromagnetic wave propagation environment.
Self-Efficacy Beliefs and Performance of Pre-Service Economics Teachers: Implications for Teacher Training
Authors: Acquah Bernard Yaw Sekyi , Partey Peter Anti
Published: March 2023

Good teaching is crucial for implementing the school curriculum and is taken seriously by teacher training institutions. Pre-service teachers of various colleges of education are taken through multiple assessment strategies to obtain information for improving teacher training curricula to achieve the aim of training quality teachers for effective curriculum implementation. One of the ways of sourcing information for fine-tuning teacher training is the assessment of pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs. Sourcing information on pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs helps to determine their readiness to implement the school curriculum after their training. This study aimed to assess the self-efficacy beliefs of pre-service economics teachers at the University of Cape Coast using a quality teaching model as a framework. All 77 final-year pre-service economics teachers at the University of Cape Coast were included in the study. A questionnaire aimed at measuring the self-efficacy beliefs of pre-service economics teachers were used to collect data. Data were analysed using thematic analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics. The study’s key findings were that pre-service economics teachers were highly self-efficacious in teaching economics; male pre-service economics teachers had a higher self-efficacy belief than their female counterparts; and there was a weak, insignificant positive relationship between self-efficacy belief and pre-service economics teachers’ performance in off-campus teaching practice. It was recommended that female pre-service economics teachers should be encouraged more by their lecturers to help them improve their self-efficacy beliefs in teaching senior high school economics.

Authors: Karafil Burcu , Özdemir Osman
Published: March 2023

The aim of this study is to examine the students’ opinions on the power exercised by their teachers in the EFL classes in Türkiye. The participants of the study, which was designed as a survey method, consisted of 243 university students. To collect the data, the “Teacher Power Use Scale” was developed. The scale was developed in three stages. The results obtained supported a five-factor structure consisting of 36 items. The factors were named as “expert power”, “reward power”, “referent power”, “coercive power” and “legitimate power”, respectively. Descriptive statistics were computed to display the students’ overall responses to the Teacher Power Use Scale. T-test was conducted to determine whether there were any significant differences in gender variable. One-way ANOVA was conducted to investigate whether there were any differences in the opinions of students on the teacher power exercises in terms of attending office hours, and accessibility of EFL teachers variables. It was obtained that teachers exercised expert power, referent power at high level while they exercised reward power, coercive power and legitimate power at moderate level. There was a significant difference in the coercive power dimension in terms of students’ opinions on the power exercises in the classroom in favor of male students. Attending office hour was not a significant variable in terms of students’ opinions on the power exercised by their teachers. Finally, the scores obtained from the scale differed significantly in the dimensions of the scale except for the coercive power and legitimate power according to the accessibility level of EFL teachers.

Published: March 2023

Warm-up programs in sports education can provide positive developments in motor and technical skills. The objective of this study was to determine the acute effects of ballistic, dynamic, and static warm-up protocols on motor and technical skills in male handball players. Twelve male handball players (mean age: 19.50±3.97 years) from the second league in Turkey participated in this study voluntarily. Warm-up protocols were implemented for the participants at the same time on three different days. At the beginning of the study, the height and body masses of the handball players were measured. After each warm-up protocol, 9-m shot, over-the-block shot, vertical jump, T agility, 20-m sprint, flexibility, and flamingo balance tests were conducted on the participants. The normality level of the data was determined by the Shapiro-Wilk test using the SPSS statistical program. While Repeated Measures ANOVA and the Bonferroni test from post hoc analysis were applied to data with normal distribution, the Friedman test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with the Bonferroni correction were used for non-normally distributed data. According to our findings, there was a significant difference between the warm-up protocols in the T agility, flexibility, and over-the-block shooting tests (p < 0.05), while no significant difference was found in the vertical jump, 20-m sprint, balance, or 9-m shooting tests (p > 0.05). The ballistic warm-up protocol applied to male handball players in sports education provided positive improvements in flexibility and over-the-block shooting skills, while the dynamic warm-up protocol yielded positive improvements in agility and flexibility.

Published: March 2023

Bistorta amplexicaulis is an essential medicinal plant found in the Kashmir Himalaya. Ethnobotanical studies have revealed that this particular species is used to treat fractures, muscle injuries, heart problems, abnormal leucorrhoea, menorrhagia and inflammation of the mouth and tongue. The current study aimed to determine the variation in growth traits and fluctuations in the allocation patterns with respect to different habitats across the altitudinal gradient. In order to adapt to unpredictable and stressful conditions at higher altitudes, phenotypic plasticity plays a crucial role. Our findings revealed considerable variability in the phenotypic traits, indicating that altitude has a defined effect on this specific species’s morphology and reproductive traits. Low altitude plant populations of Kashmir University Botanical Garden (KUBG), Dara and Tangmarg were more robust and taller (98.4±2.36, 83.58±2.69 and 74.08±1.59 cm, respectively) than the populations of Pissu top and Bangus (23.96±3.38 and 30.43±1.12 cm respectively) at higher altitudes. The habitats of KUBG, Dara, and Tangmarg proved to be substantially better for the growth of B. amplexicaulis, as per the Principal component analysis (PCA). The regression analysis demonstrated a negative relation between altitude and plant height. Traits such as leaf length/ breadth, Rhizome length/ breadth and inflorescence length showed a strong correlation with plant height. Our results provide an inclusive description of the phenotypic variability of this significant medicinal plant in response to the habitat variability across different altitudes.

The Travelogues of Vazov
Authors:   South-West University “Neofit Rilski”, Rakyovski Tsvetan
Published: March 2023

The article is the first attempt to examine Vazov's travelogues from the point of view of literary theory. For this purpose, the territory of the scientific object is expanded – the analysis covers a large number of works from nearly 70 travelogues left by Vazov. The study has three main points: 1) the characteristics of the genre “travelogue”; 2) the relationship between fictional – credible; 3) the narrator in the structure of the travelogue. The first problem is commented from the position of the claim that travel writing is a hybrid, even borderline genre. It is this role – to be on the border between literary and non-literary types of language – that also causes the mixing of the veridical and the conventional. By this we mean to say that the author's imagination is displaced, suppressed by the desire to tell factual stories.
Lexical Layers in the Iliya Volen’s Works
Authors:   Trakia University – Stara Zagora, Ilieva Teodora
Published: March 2023

Iliya Volen is among the Bulgarian wordsmiths with a moderately conservative and philosophically rational approach to the native language and its lexical toolkit. He places the “wordˮ at the centre of the idyllic-pastoral, socially reactive and realistic-fatalistic works of art he creates. Therefore, the study of lexical layering as constructs for building full-blooded images and forms is key to reading the writer's idiolect. The article focuses on the lexicon at the genealogical macrolevel and micro level. The following are marked: dialectisms, foreign words and colloquial vocabulary; hapaxes, semantic transponents and author's neologisms are analyzed. The results of the research are: placing the literary- colloquial Bulgarian language as a foundation, in which archaisms, verbs, adjectives and substantives from the Western Bulgarian area are balanced and assimilated; they are intertwined with rare words and occasionalisms; semantic modification of existing concepts; abstracting from foreign words. The word-formation models that Iliya Volen prefers for neolexis are: monoroot words and rarely composites, (poly)prefiguration, suffixation, deverbatives – original participles, occasional methods – metaphorization, substitution, etc.

Published: March 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought challenges such as the correct management of healthcare waste, given its potential for contamination. This study aimed to compare the generation of infectious and recyclable waste in private hospitals in the previous period and during the pandemic. For this, were used data from the generation of waste in a large reference hospital (RH), located in Serra Gaúcha, and compared with data from other private hospitals in the southern region and in Brazil. In HR, an increase in the average amount of infectious waste generated (42.86%) and a reduction (14%) in the generation of recyclable waste was observed during the pandemic period. Regarding the generation of infectious waste per patient/day, there was an increase of 89.04% in HR and 40% in hospitals in the southern region and in Brazil. For recyclable waste, the generation of waste per patient/day increased by 17.14% and 16.04% for the HR and the South region, respectively. However, in terms of Brazil, there was a reduction of 17.6% in the generation of recyclable waste per patient/day. The pandemic has contributed to an increase in the generation of healthcare wastes and the correct management and disposal have become essential.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder: conceptual and clinical aspects
Authors: Borges Vinícius Ferreira
Published: March 2023

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic, prevalent, and disabling psychiatric disorder that affects people of all ages and may have been worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to review conceptual and clinical aspects of OCD, including its history, diagnosis, symptom dimensions, etiology, assessment, prevention, and treatment. The history of OCD shows the transition from religious to medical conceptions. The main symptoms of OCD involve the presence of obsessive thoughts and compulsive acts, which can manifest themselves in four dimensions: ‘contamination and cleanliness’, ‘order and symmetry’, ‘doubt and verification’, and ‘disgusting thoughts and mental rituals’. This heterogeneity in the manifestation of OCD can make it difficult to understand its causes and to compare treatment responses. OCD management involves symptom assessment; prevention through psychoeducation and reducing family accommodation; pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatment. First-line treatments involves the administration of serotonin reuptake inhibitor drugs and/or cognitive-behavioral therapy, with exposure and ritual avoidance techniques, and cognitive reappraisal.

The salivary glands form a group of exocrine glands that are located in the region of the oral cavity. Non-neoplastic lesions that affect the salivary glands can comprise a number of different conditions, and may have infectious, inflammatory, traumatic, autoimmune and immunological causes. This study aimed to carry out an integrative review of the most common non-neoplastic pathologies that affect the salivary glands, highlighting their main clinical, histopathological, symptomatology, etiology and treatment manifestations. The searches were carried out through the virtual platforms BVS and PUBMED, using the terms “salivary glands”, “dentistry” and “clinical diagnosis”, through the Boolean operator “AND”. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, reading the title, abstract and full article, 15 studies remained to compose this review. It is concluded that the etiology of non-neoplastic salivary gland pathologies, for the most part, remains unknown. The diagnosis of the main alterations is made by clinical analysis and the treatment for most cases is conservative.

Published: March 2023

This paper presents the modification of Biot-Savart law that thoroughly put to calculate magnetic field at any point in the space due to motion of charge in a complete circuit and further applies to determine velocity of particle faster than the speed of light. The modified Biot-Savart law provides complete mathematical result as given by ordinary Biot-Savart law, but most importantly, do not involve the need of derivative, integration of line element. In order to derive the relation ( among electric field ( magnetic field (( of electromagnetic wave, Biot-Savart law is given by formula B= , Where be angle between direction of velocity v of moving charge and position vector of given point where magnetic field has to be determined. This formula is applicable to address the question of how is it possible to achieve velocity of particle in excess of C and to open a discussion towards a new way of acquiring speed of particle beyond speed of light, namely C , Although, there is popular statement "nothing can move faster than speed of light". In this highly controversial statement, the specific purpose is not to comprises the merits of existing Biot-Savart law, but rather to introduce a concise and careful reasoned account of Biot-Savart law to propagate particle faster than speed of light.

The COVID-19 epidemic has in fact placed the whole community in a dire predicament that has led to numerous tragedies, including an economic downturn, political unrest, and job losses. Forecasting and identifying COVID-19 infection cases is crucial for the government at all levels because the pandemic grows exponentially and results in fatalities. Hence, by giving information about the spread of the epidemic, the government can move quickly at multiple levels to establish new policies and modalities in order to minimize the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic's effects on both public health and the economic sectors. Forecasting models for COVID-19 infection cases in the Ural region in Russia were developed using two deep Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) learning-based approaches namely Encoder–Decoder LSTM and Attention LSTM algorithms. The models were evaluated based on five standard performance evaluation metrics which include Mean Square Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root MSE (RMSE), Relative RMSE (RRMSE), and coefficient of determination (R2). However, the Encoder–Decoder LSTM deep learning-based forecasting model achieved the best performance results (MSE=32794.09, MAE=168.56, RMSE=181.09, RRMSE=13.46, and R2=0.87) compared to the model developed with Attention LSTM models.

Published: March 2023

Trichomoniasis, caused by the protozoan Trichomonas gallinae, has as main hosts birds of the Columbidae family, which have a high prevalence of the protozoan without manifesting the disease. The continuous growth of the pigeon population and its cosmopolitan nature mean that today there is a worldwide distribution of this species, being responsible for the distribution and maintenance of the prevalence of trichomoniasis in almost the entire world. The transmission of the disease may be by direct contact, or indirect, through food or water. This indirect route is the reason why such a wide range of bird orders can be infected, very different from columbids such as falconiformes, strigiformes, passerines, piciformes, psittaciformes, gruiformes, galliformes or anseriformes. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of T. gallinae in passerines received at a Wild Animal Screening Center. In order to carry out this study, 300 birds of the order Passerine corresponding to 23 different species were analyzed, received at the Wild Fauna Rehabilitation Center (NURFS) of the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel), in different seasons of the year between the months of March to October 2021. Samples of swabs from the oropharynx were collected from all individuals, the material was immediately placed in a falcon tube containing Trypticase-Yeast Extract-Maltose (TYM) culture medium and sent to the Laboratory of Protozoology and Entomology (LAPEn), for incubation in a bacteriological growth greenhouse and subsequent identification of the protozoan on a slide in wet mounting under an optical microscope in a 40X objective. Wet mounting on a slide was performed in triplicate and analyzed in its entirety. Of the 300 birds evaluated in in vitro culture for T. gallinae, 25 had inconclusive results and were submitted to PCR analysis, being negative for T. gallinae. Although no positive Passeriformes was found, the monitoring of the occurrence of this protozoan must continue, as it is known that it may easily cause a possible epidemic, leading to losses for the wild fauna that has endangered birds.

Authors: Khazzam Michael , Ahn Junho , Sager Brian , Gates Stephen , Sorich Megan , Boes Nathan
Published: March 2023

Introduction:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate risk factors associated with complications after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of proximal humerus fractures.

Methods:

A retrospective review of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was conducted. Current Procedural Terminology codes were used to identify patients treated for proximal humerus fracture with reverse TSA or hemiarthroplasty between 2005 and 2018.

Results:

One thousand five hundred sixty-three shoulder arthroplasties were conducted: 436 hemiarthroplasties and 1,127 reverse TSA. The overall complication rate was 15.4% (15.7% reverse TSA; 14.7% hemiarthroplasty) (P = 0.636). Most frequent complications included transfusion 11.1%, unplanned readmission 3.8%, and revision surgery 2.1%. A 1.1% incidence of thromboembolic events was noted. Complications occurred most frequently in patients older than 65 years; male; and patients with anemia, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification III-IV, inpatient procedure, bleeding disorders, duration of surgery >106 minutes, and length of stay >2.5 days. Patients with body mass index >36 kg/m2 had a decreased risk of 30-day postoperative complications.

Discussion:

There was a 15.4% complication rate in the early postoperative period. In addition, no notable difference was found in complication rates between groups (hemiarthroplasty: 14.7%; reverse TSA 15.7%). Future studies are needed to determine whether there is a difference between these groups in the long-term outcome and survivorship of these implants.
Kritik Epistemologi Feminis: Upaya De-Westernisasi Ilmu Pengetahuan dalam Perkembangan Konsep Feminisme di Korea Selatan
Authors: Rasaski Kiara Citra , Dewi Saras
Published: March 2023

Modernisasi dan westerinasi yang terjadi secara masif di pada masa awal Korea menyababkan Korea mengalami kemiskinan reproduksi ilmu pengetahuan serta ilmu pengetahuan yang terkolonisasi, khususnya dalam konteks feminisme. Konsep feminisme, keadilan, dan kesetaraan atas hak-hak perempuan di Korea belum menjadi diskursus aktif hingga tahun 1993. Prinsip Konfusianisme yang menjadi akar dari nilai dan tradisi Korea dianggap mengopresi dan melimitasi ruang gerak perempuan, sehingga aktivisme perempuan di Korea dimulai untuk menuntut hak-hak dasarnya. Menggunakan metode kritik epistemologi feminis, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menelaah pengaruh pemikiran barat terhadap konseptualisasi dan praktik konsep Feminisme dalam masyarakat Konfusianisme Korea dan juga perkembangannya pada era kontemporer. Didukung dengan teori stand point oleh Sandra Harding, peneliti menemukan bahwa diperlukannya upaya de-westernisasi dalam ilmu pengetahuan agar dapat menemukan “warna asli” dari perempuan Korea itu sendiri. Peneliti juga menemukan bahwa diperlukannya dekonstruksi dan rekonspetualisasi ilmu pengetahuan agar feminisme barat dan nilai Konfusius dapat berjalan beriringan secara harmonis.

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) và sulfur dioxide (SO2) là những khí ga chính có khả năng gây ô nhiễm không khí ở nhiều khu vực đô thị và khu công nghiệp lớn ở Việt Nam. Do đó, việc giám sát được nồng độ khí NO2, SO2 một cách thường xuyên và trên diện rộng là cần thiết để giúp các nhà quản lý ra quyết định tìm kiếm một giải pháp bền vững về quản lý chất lượng môi trường không khí và cải thiện tình trạng sức khỏe người dân. Trong nghiên cứu này, chúng tôi sử dụng dữ liệu từ vệ tinh viễn thám chuyên dụng Sentinel 5P của Cơ quan vũ trụ Châu Âu (ESA) để chiết xuất nồng độ của 02 loại nêu trên trong không khí khu vực Hà Nội năm 2021.

Cách tiếp cận xác thực của dữ liệu thu được từ vệ tinh, dựa trên phân tích tương quan chéo với dữ liệu độc lập từ các quan sát trên mặt đất đã cho thấy hệ số tương quan (R2) đối với NO2 là xấp xỉ 0.7 và đối với SO2 là 0.78; cho thấy độ chính xác tính toán hàm lượng NO2 và SO2 từ dữ liệu Sentinel-5P ở mức khá. Kết quả cũng cho thấy, trong thời gian của năm 2021, giá trị NO2 và SO2 trong không khí ở khu vực Hà Nội đều ở mức tương đối cao.

New and simple expressions are obtained for a quick assessment of the absorption coefficients of longitudinal and transverse and hypersonic waves in lithium niobate single crystals in the Akhiezer regime. It is shown that at room temperature the attenuation coefficients of hypersonic waves calculated from the obtained expressions and the values determined experimentally are in good agreement.

A sensor for the detection of acetone vapors based on the nanocomposite multi–walled carbon nanotubes/tin oxide (MWCNT/SnO2) material was manufactured by the hydrothermal synthesis method. The response of the MWCNT/SnO2 sensor toward acetone vapors from room temperature to 300℃ was investigated. The gas sensing characteristics of the MWCNT/SnO2 sensor were investigated in the presence of different concentrations of acetone vapors (400 ppb– 20 ppm) at 250C. At the same temperature, the impedance characteristics of the MWCNT/SnO2 sensor were investigated both with and without acetone vapors. An equivalent electrical circuit for the MWCNT/SnO2 sensor structure was proposed. The presented results indicate that the MWCNT/SnO2 structure can be used to detect very low concentrations of acetone.

O mamão é uma fruta de grande apreço pela população brasileira constituindo-se como uma fonte de renda para agricultores de diversas regiões do Estado. A produção ainda é crescente e a busca pela maior produtividade constitui em fator importante para melhoria na renda. Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito de resíduos de cerâmica misturado ao substrato na emergência e desenvolvimento de plântulas de mamoeiro CV Golden. Foram utilizados tubetes, capacidade 150 mL, nos substratos formados por resíduo de cerâmica puro na granulometria 1 (2 mm); resíduo de cerâmica puro na granulometria 2 (4 mm); resíduo de cerâmica puro na granulometria 3 (7 mm); bioplant®+resíduo granulometria 1; bioplant®+resíduo granulometria 2; bioplant®+resíduo granulometria 3; húmus+resíduo granulometria 1;  húmus+resíduo granulometria 2;  húmus+resíduo granulometria 3, na proporção de 1:1, natufertil+resíduo granulometria 1; natufertil+resíduo granulometria 2; natufertil+resíduo granulometria 3; sendo utilizado nos tratamentos com basocorte a quantidade de 5 g por tubetes. Após trinta dias do início da emergência foi avaliado a porcentagem de emergência. Noventa dias após o início da emergência foram avaliadas as variáveis: altura da planta, número de folhas, diâmetro do coleto, comprimento da raiz, massa verde das folhas, massa seca das folhas, massa verde da raiz, massa seca da raiz. A granulometria 2 (4mm) com adição de natufertil apresentou os melhores resultados para todas as variáveis analisadas, sugerindo ser este o melhor tratamento com cerâmica.

Nas últimas décadas, visualiza-se uma premente crise do Poder Judiciário, decorrente, sobretudo, do crescente número de processos ajuizados no país, especialmente, quanto ao direito de família. Diante dessa conjuntura, emergem as reflexões sobre os meios adequados de conflitos, como instrumentos capazes de propiciar uma autocomposição para as demandas e, consequentemente, reduzir o número de processos judiciais. Dentre esses instrumentos, destacam-se a conciliação e a mediação, que possuem metodologias específicas, visando a solução dos conflitos. Nesse contexto, surge o projeto de extensão da Banca de Conciliação, desenvolvido no Núcleo de Prática Jurídica, do Curso de Direito da UFG/Regional Jataí, com vistas à solução dos litígios sociais e processuais, de forma célere, desburocratizada, sem custos aos interessados, propiciando o acesso à justiça aos jurisdicionados. Primordialmente, a pesquisa objetiva compilar e analisar os dados primários coletados no âmbito do projeto, para identificar a efetividade das ações em relação aos seus propósitos, compreendendo um recorte temporal do mês de julho de 2018 a julho de 2019. A abordagem metodológica prioriza a pesquisa qualitativa e quantitativa, com análise de dados, principalmente, descritiva. As técnicas de pesquisa utilizadas pautaram-se na bibliográfica e na documental, por meio da utilização de livros, doutrinas, artigos, legislações, entre outros materiais impressos e eletrônicos. Constata-se que os meios alternativos de resolução de conflitos são instrumentos eficazes na composição pacífica dos conflitos. O projeto de extensão, em análise, cumpriu com o seu propósito principal, qual seja, promover a conciliação, de forma célere, informal e sem custos aos interessados, reduzindo o número de litigiosidades no Judiciário. Porém, os resultados revelaram um número pequeno de casos submetidos à Banca de Conciliação, em função, primordialmente, de fatores estruturais, o que inviabilizou um quantitativo maior de resolução dos conflitos.
