Explaining the Prospective Association of Positive and Negative Parenting Behaviors and Child ADHD: Pathways Through Child Executive Function and Reward Responsivity
Authors: Zhang Qi , Li James Janford
Published: January 2022

Objective: Parenting behavior is a well-established correlate of offspring ADHD. Yet, little is known about how parenting exerts its effects on offspring ADHD. We examined whether prospective associations between positive and negative parenting behaviors and child ADHD symptoms are mediated by deficits in child executive function (EF) and reward responsivity (RR). Method: A total of 135 children, with and without ADHD were assessed at mean ages 6 and 8. Children completed tasks on EF, and parents completed questionnaires about their parenting, and their children’s RR and children’s ADHD symptoms. Results: Negative parenting (but not positive parenting) was indirectly associated with offspring ADHD subtypes via the effects of Wave 1 EF and RR at Wave 2. Conclusion: Individual differences in EF and RR during the early childhood years may constitute a potential pathway by which negative parenting behaviors exerts its effects on subsequent offspring ADHD. Treatment implications are discussed.
Memory for time
Authors: Howard Marc
Published: January 2022

The brain maintains a record of recent events including information about the time at which events were experienced. We review behavioral and neurophysiological evidence as well as computational models to better understand memory for time. Neurophysiologically, populations of neurons that record the time of recent events have been observed in many brain regions. Time cells fire in long sequences after a triggering event demonstrating memory for the past. Populations of exponentially-decaying neurons record past events at many delays by decaying at different rates. Both kinds of representations record distant times with less temporal resolution. The work reviewed here converges on the idea that the brain maintains a representation of past events along a scale-invariant compressed timeline.
How Being Observed Influences Preschoolers’ Emotions Following (Less) Deserving Help
Authors: Gerdemann Stella , Büchner Ronja , Hepach Robert
Published: January 2022

Children sometimes show positive emotions in response to seeing others being helped, yet it remains poorly understood whether there is a strategic value to such emotional expressions. Here, we investigated the influence seeing a peer receive deserving help or not on children’s emotions, which were assessed while the peer was present or not. To measure children’s emotional expression, we used a motion depth sensor imaging camera, which recorded children’s body posture. Five-year-old children (N = 122) worked on a task which yielded greater rewards for them compared to their peer, rendering the peer to be in greater need of help. An adult––who was unaware of the different levels of neediness––then either helped the child who had a lesser need for help (less deserving outcome) or helped the needier peer (deserving outcome). Overall, both children showed a lowered body posture, a more negative emotional expression, after not being helped and an elevated body posture, a more positive emotional expression, after being helped. Seeing their peer (less deservedly) not receive help, and to a lesser extent being observed, blunted children’s otherwise positive emotions in response to receiving help. These results are discussed in the broader theoretical context of how children’s emotions sometimes reflect their commitment to cooperative relationships with peers.
New Gravity Field Equation is derived by Einstein Field Equation in General Relativity Theory
Authors: Yi Sangwha
Published: January 2022

We found the 4-order curvature term satisfied the co-variant derivative. Einstein gravity fieldequation is consist of 2-order curvature terms. Hence, the 4-order curvature term and 2-order curvature termsmake new gravity field equation. In this point, Einstein’s gravity field equation can be modified by new 4-order curvature term because gravity field equation’s term doesn’t have to be 2-order term. Indeed, Einsteinhimself was like that, 0-order term, the cosmological term. Therefore, our theory is based on legitimate facts.

Published: January 2022

Squatter settlement is uncontrolled and unplanned settlement consisting of dwelling built on land that is not owned. Squatters are the most vulnerable groups being very poor. This paper assessed the extent of socio-economic characteristics, causes of being squatters, vulnerability and their adaptation strategies of Sundarbazar area in Butwal. The descriptive analytical methodology was employed to generate data from both primary and secondary data sources. Out of 339 households, 113 households were selected through a systematic random sampling procedure. Field observation, focus group discussion and personal interviews were also applied to collect primary data. The squatter settlement in the study area has inadequate accommodation, poor access of safe water, sanitation, unmanaged waste disposal system and polluted environment. Poor economic condition, unemployment, and natural disaster along with availability of free land are the major cause of being squatters in this region. Furthermore, risk of health hazard, unemployment, and income uncertainty are the vulnerability of squatter people in the study area. It is concluded that poverty reduction in both rural and urban area can solve this problem but providing income generation opportunities, basic service facilities are major concern at present. In the developing countries like Nepal, squatter settlement is less known in literature and curriculum of formal education. Thus, it requires to aware new generation through school education system and the higher level for better urban planning and management in the future.

Authors: Shrestha Suman Kumar
Published: January 2022

This paper examines the place of geography in the school- level curriculum in Nepal. The rearm curriculum defines as the totality of student experiences that occur in the educational process. Specifically, it is referred to a planned sequence of instruction, or a view of the student'; experiences in terms of the educator; or school's; instructional goals. After the establishment of Durbar High School in Nepal in 1910 and the School Leaving Certificate Board in 1990, the subject of Geography was formally introduced. This subject had recognized as a compulsory subject at the school level curriculum before the NESP. After the NESP (1971), the issue had allocated 50 marks, becoming has becomes an optional subject since 1982. Geographic concepts have been taught after the introduction of the social studies curriculum at the secondary level since 1992.At present, geography is teaching in Nepal as an elective subject from secondary level to higher education. However, this subject seems less of a priority for students than mathematics, computer, and account. For this purpose, data collected from the review of the report published from the Education Commissions, Curriculum Development Center, the records of the National Examination Board, e-resources, and other concerned bodies. This paper concludes that geography subject at the school level is in a crisis. However, with the inclusion of geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial planning in the curriculum from the school level, the future of this subject looks bright.

Published: January 2022

One aspect that has changed due to the Covid-19 pandemic is the way humans communicate in public (public speaking). This impact was also felt by women who were members of the Fatayat NU (Nahdlatul Ulama) Ciledug organization. Fatayat NU is an Islamic women's organization which is one of the autonomous institutions within NU, which is religious, social and familial. The concept of Fatayat NU activities can be classified into three, namely in the field of regeneration and education, the field of da'wah or Islamic development, and the field of social society. The problems faced by Fatayat NU Ciledug, relating to public speaking are: (1) Lack of ability to appear and speak in public; and (2) Lack of public speaking skills, both face-to-face and online. The solutions offered to solve these problems are through community service activities, namely providing online training/workshops by utilizing the Zoom Meeting application to members of Fatayat NU Ciledug to provide tips and tricks regarding: (1) How to have the ability to appear and speak in public; and (2) Skills in public speaking both face-to-face and online. The implementation of this community service activity consists of 3 stages, namely; (1) The preparation stage, to identify problems, apply for permits to the Fatayat NU Ciledug management, and make preparations for the implementation of public speaking training; (2) the stage of implementing public speaking training; and (3) the evaluation stage, by providing evaluation test questions that must be done using Google Forms media, to find out how much the increase in knowledge, abilities, and skills of Fatayat NU Ciledug women regarding public speaking after participating in training activities.
Evolution of the Kandyan Vina of Sri Lanka with Special Reference to the Contemporary Usage
Authors: Dehideniya I.
Published: January 2022

The string instrument, the Kandyan vina (Uḍaraṭa Vīṇā), once portrayed in the book by John Davy as “Venah”, shares close resemblance with the Coconut shell fiddle instruments in India, in terms of their inherent form, structure, cultural peculiarities and playing posture. Such similarities serve to confirm that the prototypic musical instrument – the Kandyan vina, originated from the Coconut shell fiddle instruments of India. According to sources, the prototype instrument of the Kandyan vina arrived with the gypsy groups who migrated to Sri Lanka from Andhra Pradesh or Tamil Nadu during the Kandy period of 1600-1750 AD. Since then, until 1980-1990 AD, the prototype instrument was developed by the influence of the Western musical instruments and musical intelligence, available material, creative methods inherent in the aristocratic, villagers, beggars, Veddas, and gypsy communities. Therefore, the rise of the Kandyan vina is proven to have originated within Sri Lanka as a unique native string instrument. Research objectives of this study are: firstly, to re-introduce a native string instrument according to its true historic trails; secondly, a modern Kandyan vina is constructed using the modified knowledge discovered through exploring the ancient Kandyan vina instruments; and thirdly, to assimilate knowledge of a musical instrument based on its historical literature and archaeological data from an Archaeomusicological perspective. With this in mind, Frescoes/murals, artefacts, legal documents and primary books were used as the primary sources, while journal articles and secondary books were used as secondary sources.
LEGAL FRAMEWORK OF ARREST AND POST-ARREST SAFEGUARDS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AS TO THE LAWS OF BANGLADESH, INDIA, AND THE UNITED KINGDOM
Authors: Salman Nadhratul Wardah , Md Sohel Rana  , Saroja Dhanapal
Published: January 2022

The rights of arrested persons during arrests and after arrests are significantly important because the act of arrest restricts persons’ rights to liberty that are protected by the laws of all countries including Bangladesh, India, and the United Kingdom (UK). These restrictions have raised several concerns over the years. While compliance with the laws on arrest is mandatory, the actual implementation of these laws is still questionable. There are obvious gaps between the provisions of the existing laws and the actual practice. Past research also suggests that the legal structure of arrest and post-arrest in Bangladesh should be revised in comparison with the criminal justice systems of other developed countries where rights of those arrested are safeguarded. However, past research has not compared other jurisdictions, and neither is there any research conducted on best practices of other jurisdictions. As such, this article analyses the various aspects of arrest and post-arrest safeguards that exist in all the three jurisdictions, and identifies good practices to safeguard the arrested person more effectively. The objective of identifying good practices from India and the UK is to use them as a paradigm for the criminal justice system of Bangladesh. This is done through the application of a qualitative research methodology using content analysis as the approach to analyse primary and secondary sources. The comparison includes discussion on the right to know the reason of arrest, right to be brought to court, right to be free from torture, right against self-incrimination, right to be medically examined and the remedial aspect of ‘habeas corpus’. These rights that are significantly related to the rights to life and liberty, fair trial and to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. The findings show that the UK’s legal framework is far better than the ones in India and Bangladesh. It is suggested that the protection provisions enshrined in the existing criminal justice system and the current legal structure should play an important role through specific court rulings. Further, it is asserted that the police department should take accountability by incorporating the necessary changes into the existing legal structure to ensure justice prevails. The paper ends with a recommendation that monetary compensation, and a physical exemplary punishment should be imposed to ensure the safeguards of individual, both at the time of arrest and post-arrest are upheld.

This problem can be solved using quantitative immunoassay methods. Aim. Development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the concentration of class G immunoglobulins (AB) to Varicella zoster virus (VZV) determining and assessing its functional characteristics and diagnostic efficiency. Materials and methods. Recombinant antigen GE VZV. WHO International Standard for Antibodies to VZV W1044. Blood serum samples from healthy people and patients with Chickenpox and Herpes zoster, blood serum samples containing IgG antibodies to herpes simplex viruses of the first and second types, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus. Anti-VZV ELISA (IgG) reagent kit (Euroimmun, Germany). Indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Immunization of animals with recombinant antigen GE, isolation, and purification of specific antibodies. Conjugation of monoclonal antibodies to human IgG with antibodies to antigen GE and with horseradish peroxidase. Results. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in «an indirect» format has been developed to determine the specific antibodies to VZV concentration (IU/ml) in human serum/plasma. An artificial calibrator for determining the concentration of AB-VZV had been synthesized and standardized according to the International WHO-standard W1044. The main functional characteristics of the developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay are determined in accordance with GOST 51352-2013. The diagnostic kit was tested on blood serum samples from children with chickenpox (n = 43), adults with Herpes zoster (n = 158), healthy individuals (n = 781). The diagnostic sensitivity of the test system was 85%, the diagnostic specificity was 87% according to the ROC analysis. The absence of cross-reactivity of the test system was shown on samples with serological markers of other herpesvirus infections (n = 94). Comparative trials of the developed test system and its commercial analog, the Anti-VZV ELISA (IgG) reagent kit, did not reveal statistically significant differences between their functional characteristics. Conclusions. The developed test system for determining of the AB-VZV concentration in human serum/plasma in terms of its functional characteristics meets the GOST requirements, is characterized by high diagnostic efficiency, can be used to monitor the effectiveness of vaccine prophylaxis and strength of population immunity, as well as to assess the immune response in chickenpox and Herpes zoster.

Published: January 2022

Naiknya  jumlah kepemilikan kendaraan akan berpengaruh pada peningkatan arus lalu lintas, yang biasanya akan menghasilkan kemacetan di jaringan jalan. Fenomena ini mengakibatkan kendaraan cenderung berjalan beriring – iringan (platoon). Beberapa karakteristik yang dipakai dalam mendeskripsikan  fenomena platoon tersebut yaitu: jarak antar kendaran (headway) kecepatan rata-rata  dan jumlah  kendaraan dalam platoon. Penelitian ini untuk menganalisa pengaruh variasi kendaraan leader dan panjang platoon terhadap kecepatan kendaraan. Penelitian dilakukan pada jalan raya Padang – Bukittinggi yang merupakan jalan arteri di Propinsi Sumatera Barat. Data yang dipakai adalah data primer, survey langsung dilapangan dengan merekam arus lalu lintas kendaraan beriringan (traffic platoon) selama 2 hari. Untuk menentukan kecepatan diambil jarak 50 m dan waktu diukur dengan stop program. Nilai rata – rata headway relatif sama pada pengukuran pada saat jam sibuk dan jam tidak sibuk. Secara umum  headway antar kendaraan bervariasi, disebabkan kecepatan kendaraan yang tidak konstan. Pengukuran platoon sampai dengan 2 detik lebih berpengaruh terhadap penurunan kecepatan daripada pengukuran platoon sampai dengan 3 detik. Pada pengukuran platoon sampai dengan 2 detik terjadi penurunan rerata kecepatan sebesar 8.36 % setiap penambahan 1 (satu) kendaraan pada platoon, sedangkan pada pengukuran platoon sampai dengan 3 detik terjadi penurunan rerata kecepatan  sebesar 4.40 %.

The research was carried out in Bontorannu Village, Kajang District, Bulukumba Regency, South Sulawesi. The research area is a plain area with rainfed rice fields. Therefore, it is necessary to do research to identify the potential of groundwater as a source of irrigation. The purpose of this research is to provide an estimate of the plane, position, and depth of the aquifer layer in the soil based on the interpretation of measurements using the resistivity method of the Schlumberger array. Through the results of this interpretation, the pattern/contour modeling of the distribution of the aquifer layer in the soil is determined which is projected as groundwater. This research is an experimental research with a descriptive approach method. Methods of this research consists of research preparation, data acquisition, processing and interpretation of data using Res2dinv software. The measurement points were selected through feasibility survey. There are two measurement points that length of each track used is a maximum of 300 meters. The results showed that on track 1 there is a layer suspected of being a shallow aquifer with a depth of 12-22 m. While on track 2, a potential deep aquifer layer is detected with a depth of 13-25 m.

Authors: Saleem Ibrahim A.
Published: January 2022

Background: Severe forms of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) were found among 6 - 10% of all COVID-19 patients. Acute respiratory distress syndrome ARDS is non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema manifested by the rapid development of shortness of breath, tachypnea, and hypoxemia. Patients’ outcomes after critical care for COVID-19 have not been adequately documented in this low-resource environment, despite advocacy for prevention and response measures in low- and middle-income countries.
Objectives: To highlight the rate of severe illness among COVID-19 patients and its associated factors in Al-Imam Ali Hospital, Baghdad-Iraq 2021.
Patients and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study on cases with severe and critical COVID-19 illness (with ARDS) admitted to the isolation ward in Al-Imam Ali Hospital from 23 March to 23 May, 2021. All COVID-19 patients admitted in a severe or critical state were included. A data collection form was filled by the researcher. The P value of < 0.05 was used to determine statistical significance. Ethical Approval was obtained.
Results: A total of 504 severely ill COVID-19 patients were included in this study. There were 71 (14.1%) patients below 45 years of age. Males formed 40.9% of patients while that of females was 59.1%. Fever was the presenting symptom in 381 (75.6%) patients, 197 (39.1%) patients had anosmia, and 192 (38.1%) had ageusia. There were 358 (71.0%) survivors while 146 (29.0%) died. Patients aged 65 years or more had more possible risk for death than those below 65 years (OR=1.14, 95% CI =0.6-2.2). Female gender appeared to be protective compared to male gender (OR=0.52, 95% CI =0.35-0.77). Ex-smokers had a higher risk than non-smoker and current smokers (OR for ex-smoker=4.38, 95% CI 2.6-7.5), and (OR for current smoker=1.7, 95% CI 0.98-3). Renal disease was found to be a risk factor leading to death (OR=2.9; 95% CI=1.73-5.1). Diabetes Mellitus, respiratory diseases, and solid cancer showed a high risk for death, [OR=2.3, 95% CI=1.4-4; OR=1.7; 95% CI=1.1-2.9, OR=8, 95% CI=3.3-19 respectively]. Patients with three comorbidities had a higher mortality risk, OR=1.6, 95% CI=1.3-2.
Conclusion: This study concluded that mortality of severely and critically ill COVID-19 patients was 29%, and males and older patients were risk factors for death. In addition to; ex-smoker, alcoholic, and patients with baseline comorbidities appeared to be risk factors for mortality. Finally; laboratory tests and Pao2/Fio2 ratio can be used to predict the outcome.
Non-Human-Machine Interaction for Power Transmission Lines Protection Design and Enhancement of Under Voltage Relay
Authors: T. Hussain Abadal-Salam
Published: January 2022

The continuous monitoring of transmission line protection relay is desirable to ensure the system disturbance such as fault inception is detected in transmission line. Therefore, fault on transmission line needs to be detected, classified, and located accurately to maintain the stability of system. This project presents design enhancement and development under voltage relay in power system protection using MATLAB/Simulink. The under-voltage relay is a relay that has contacts that operate when voltage drops below a set voltage which is used for protection against voltage drops to detect short circuit and others. This study is carried out for all types of faults which only related with one of the parallel lines. For the overall of operation conditions, the sample data were generated for the system by varying the different fault types and fault location. This design system proposes the use of MATLAB/ Simulink based method for fast and reliable fault classification and location for a various type of fault.

Poverty is a classic problem in many regions in Indonesia, including the Bengkulu Province. There are several causes of poverty case in Bengkulu, three of which are low human resources, inadequate rural health infrastructure, and less productive population with productive working age. The purpose of the study is to examine 1) the influence of human resources management, health infrastructure, and productive age partially on poverty in Bengkulu Province, and 2) the influence of human resources, health infrastructure respectively through mediation of productive age on poverty in Bengkulu Province. This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach using secondary data. The research population is all districts/cities in Bengkulu Province totalling 9 districts and 1 city in 2010 – 2019. This study uses saturated sampling. The data was then processed and analyzed using SEM-PLS. The results of the study show that human resources proxied by the Human Development Index (HDI) had a positive effect on the poverty level, health infrastructure had no effect on the poverty level, productive age had no effect on the poverty level, productive age was not a mediating variable between resources and the poverty level, so that cannot be used as a mediating variable, and productive age does not mediate the effect of health infrastructure on poverty levels in Bengkulu Province.
Capital Regulation and Risk-taking Behavior: Empirical Evidence for Islamic Banks
Authors: Daoud Yomna , Kammoun Aida
Published: January 2022

This paper investigates whether regulatory pressures have an impact on the relationship between change in capital and bank risk-taking. On the basis of a well developed theoretical background, capital regulation constitutes the core of prudential regulation within the banking sector. Several researches have investigated this relationship between capital and risk in conventional banks, and this subject has gained in interest since the last financial crisis. This study is one of the few studies that have attempted to provide empirical evidence on this issue for Islamic banks. We use data of Islamic banking sectors over the period 2010–2014. The results reveal that Islamic banks tend to behave differently at each level of capital adequacy. In addition, we provide some evidence that change in capital is positively related to the change in risk for highly capitalized Islamic banks.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of competitive advantage in equity participation in PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah for the period of October 2020 which is still in the category of Commercial Banks Based on Business Activities 1. Specifically, this research also tries to build the best implementation model for regional capital participation to PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah which is integrated with the planning and budgeting system and integrated with regional development priorities. We operate qualitative method which aims to get the real picture by developing a process analysis using direct data sources from informants totaling 27 people with very competent status in the field of regional capital participation at PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Bengkulu Province and Central Sulawesi Province. Creswell (2009) states that the research process involves questions and procedures that arise, data that is usually collected in a participant setting, data analysis that is constructed inductively from specific to general themes. The results of the study explain that competitive advantage is seen from the substance of the low cost strategy of 25 (twenty five) Regional General Treasurers as Regional Financial Management Officers, there are 20 (twenty) Regional General Treasurers as Regional Financial Management Officers stating that the implementation of competitive advantage is seen from the substance the low-cost strategy is still not optimal (80% of informants), and 5 (five) Regional General Treasurers as Regional Financial Management Officers explain that currently there is no implementation of the low-cost strategy in the series of processes for capital participation in the work area carried out by PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Bengkulu and in the work area of PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Sulawesi Tengah (20% Informants). The best implementation model to build the integration of the provincial/district/city government capital participation system into PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah in an optimal and regulatory manner with operations is: Phase 1, capital participation management is integrated with regional regulations on RPJMD, Restra SKPD documents, and RKPD documents. Stage 2, the management of equity participation is implemented in regional regulations concerning APBD, then realized and evaluated in the general meeting of shareholders and/or other coordination meetings.
