ГЕНДЕРНЫЕ ОСОБЕННОСТИ АДАПТАЦИИ СУБЪЕКТОВ К СИТУАЦИИ СМЕНЫ ВИДОВ ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНОЙ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ
Authors: Фомина Е.А. , Соломонов В.А.
Published: March 2022

Рассмотрены особенности адаптации субъектов к ситуации смены видов профессиональной деятельности с учетом их гендерной принадлежности. В исследовании приняли участие 292 человека, из них 146 мужчин, 146 женщин, в том или ином виде осуществляющих смену видов профессиональной деятельности (проходящих обучение по различным программам, безработных, занятых поиском новой вакансии). Эмпирический материал собран с помощью компьютерного тестирования, использованы стандартизированные психологические методики. У мужчин установлены связи между всеми компонентами адаптивности, жизнестойкости и копинг-стратегиями; ключевым предиктором является «вовлеченность». Для мужчин когнитивные копинг-стратегии не являются продуктивными. У респондентов женской выборки не выявлены значимые корреляционные связи между «моральной нормативностью» как фактором адаптивности, компонентами жизнестойкости и копинг-стратегиями, ключевым фактором выступает «принятие риска». Женщины склонны использовать когнитивные и эмоциональные копинг-стратегии. Выявлено, что способность адаптироваться к ситуации смены видов профессиональной деятельности у всех субъектов связана с готовностью к принятию перемен в жизни («адаптивные способности»); со стремлением включиться в деятельность, от которой можно получать удовольствие («вовлеченность»); с открытостью новому опыту («принятие риска»).

ОЖИДАНИЕ РЕБЕНКА ВО ВРЕМЯ ПАНДЕМИИ: ВЛИЯНИЕ СТРЕССОГЕННЫХ ФАКТОРОВ НА ПРЕНАТАЛЬНЫЙ СТРЕСС ПАРТНЕРОВ И СПОСОБЫ СОВЛАДАНИЯ С НИМ
Authors: Одинцова О.Ю. , Крюкова Т.Л.
Published: March 2022

Ожидание ребенка является стрессовым жизненным периодом, поскольку детерминирует ряд изменений на организменном, личностном, социальном и социокультурном уровне как у женщин, так у партнеров- мужчин. Подобное состояние обозначается как «пренатальный стресс», источником которого выступают разноуровневые стрессоры – специфические для периода ожидания ребенка (детерминированные протеканием и спецификой беременности), индивидуальные (личностно обусловленные) и макросоциальные. Текущая эпидемиологическая ситуация потенциально увеличивает вероятность развития пренатального стресса, сопряженного со стойкой аффективной симптоматикой, – тревожной, депрессивной или фобической. Данная работа сконцентри- рована на изучении страхов как проявлении пренатального стресса, поскольку именно страх, различный по содержанию, является характерной чертой нашей реальности. Вынужденный карантин и боязнь инфи- цирования в сочетании с ограниченным доступом к профессиональной медицинской и социальной поддержке усиливает интенсивность переживаний в парах, готовящихся к родительству. Для углубленного изучения многокомпонентных стрессоров, возникающих во время беременности и способов совладания с ними, реализовано эмпирическое исследование в диадах, ожидающих ребенка (n=203). Результаты свидетельствуют, что партнеры практически в равной степени уязвимы по отношению к стрессорам, но вариации совладания с ними у женщин и мужчин различны. Женщины демонстрируют большую гибкость в использовании совладающего поведения, у мужчин очевидна тенденция отстраниться от обстоятельств. Однако в вопросах беременности, родов и  здоровья наблюдаются конструктивные способы совладания. Выводы свидетельствуют о необходимости разработки конкретных мероприятий, ориентированных не только на женщин, но и на мужчин.

The Impact of Learner Agency and Self-Regulated Learning in EFL Classes
Authors:   Tashkent State University of Law, Rasulova Mahbuba
Published: March 2022

Learners have a sense of “agency” when they feel they can influence the events and feel in control of different things occurring around them. This is an important sense for learners, making them more active participants in their learning. Every decision a learner makes, and action she or he takes, will impact the thinking, behavior or decisions of others. When learners can control their own learning, they exercise self-regulated learning (SRL), which is crucial in becoming a lifelong learner. McIenrney (2008) described SRL as “self-generated thoughts, feelings, and actions in order to attain educational goals” (p. 374). This study focuses on case studies of three English language learners at a language school in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Case study data were generated through a series of six in-depth, informal interviews conducted in English over four months. Triangulated data revealed a bond between learner agency and self-regulated learning as more agentic learners tend to use different kinds of self-regulated strategies. In contrast, less agentic ones appear more passive when it comes to employing self-regulating strategies in their learning process. Finally, suggestions to facilitate learner agency and self-regulated learning in the language-learning classroom are provided.

Vaccination pain is an unpleasant sensation for infants that cannot be felt by others. A new research was done on the pain suffered from vaccination by infants. The most efficacious distraction techniques are with a combination of Five S’s techniques which are easier and more effective techniques to comfort infants and ease their vaccination pain. This comfort which is given to the babies is very significant and is called SOOTHING - reducing discomfort. The only solution for the infants undergoing this pain is to practice non- pharmacological management that is one bundle of tricks known as 5Ss.
REVIEW OF THE ARTICLE ON “CARING FOR OLDER ADULTS WITH MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS DURING THE PANDEMIC” AND ROLE OF A PSYCHIATRIC NURSE PRACTITIONER IN A COMMUNITY
Authors: sedenu Ibha , mathew neena
Published: March 2022

This article ‘Caring for the Older Adults with Mental Health Disorders during the Pandemic’ is informative and accurate in its suggestions on caring for the elderly with mental illness. I find it particularly interesting how the simplest things such as spending time, engaging, and connecting to our elderly loved ones cause such a major impact on their mental health. As a clinician, these are lessons to rely on for effective communication and treating the client holistically. During the past few years of the Covid-19 pandemic, I have witnessed an emphasis on the elderly population due to their vulnerability to Covid-19. Often mentioned is physical health, but mental health is overlooked. I appreciate this article for its insights on mental health disparities among the elderly, and how health care providers can help

Published: March 2022

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of cervical stabilisation exercises on respiratory strength in chronic neck pain patients with forward head posture. The study was conducted from August 2020 to February 2021, at the Jinnah Hospital, Lahore; 44 patients who fulfilled the eligibility criteria were randomly assigned to two groups—experimental group and control group—. Baseline measurement was taken for numeric pain rating scale, neck disability index, craniovertebral angle, single breath count, and spirometry and all the measurements were retaken at the completion of the fourth week. Results were not significant (p>0.05) before the treatment in both groups but post-intervention results revealed significant differences in both the groups (p<0.05), with the experimental group showing more improvement. Four weeks of cervical stabilisation with isometric exercises is more effective in the management of pain, forward head posture, neck disability and respiratory strength as compared with the four weeks of isometric exercises programme alone.
Keywords: Stabilisation, neck pain, posture, respiratory strength.

Authors: Sohail Marva , Zafar Nida
Published: March 2022

Objective: To find the moderating role of social support and creative coping, and the mediating role of cyberchondria in relationship between fear of coronavirus disease-2019 and stress in university students.
Method: The correlational study was conducted at the Lahore Garrison University, Lahore, Pakistan, between May and September 2020, and comprised students regardless of gender and age from different public and private universities across Pakistan. Data was collected online using Fear of Coronavirus Disease-2019 Scale, Cyberchondria Severity Scale, Creative Coping Strategies Scale, Social Support Survey, Perceived Stress Scale and Perception of Academic Stress Scale. Data was analysed using SPSS 22.
Results: Of the 205 subjects, 83(40.5%) were males and 122(59.5%) were females. The overall mean age was 21.22+/-1.84 years. Fear of coronavirus disease-2019 had significant positive relationship with cyberchondria, and cyberchondria had significant positive relationship with creative coping and academic stress (p<0.05). Social support had significant negative relationship with general stress (p<0.05). There was significant interaction among fear of coronavirus disease-2019, creative coping, social support and cyberchondria in predicting general stress (p<0.05). Fear of coronavirus disease-2019 alone did not predict stress (p>0.05), but it significantly predicted cyberchondria which, in turn, predicted stress (p<0.05). Creative coping and social support significantly moderated the relationship involving fear of coronavirus disease-2019, cyberchondria and general stress (p<0.05). The female subjects utilised more creative coping strategies, received more social support, and had higher levels of general stress compared to the males (p<0.05), while the male subjects had more mistrust on medical professionals (p<0.05).

Result of Music Therapy on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Authors: Farooqui Sabeeh Khawar , Barolia Mehak
Published: March 2022

Madam, in these challenging times stress, has affected every age group. Around 50% of all males and females’ experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their lives(1). Music has proved to be effective to deal with PTSD after an evaluation done by a study showed that patients undergoing music therapy had a significant decrease in PTSD when compared to those patients who did not take any therapy(2). Even though all these measures cross- national lifetime prevalence of PTSD was 3.9 % cross-nationally, half of all global cases were  persistent(3). Despite of these deteriorating effects, no preventive and rehabilitative measures can be seen in Pakistan.
A study in 2019 concluded that active  music-instruction programmes hold promise to alleviate  PTSD and depressive symptoms among the population globally(4). Further, people treated with music therapy had a significant mean difference [p = 0.0035] when contrasted with those who did not undergo treatment.(2).
A study in 2016 concluded that the prevalence of PTSD in Pakistan was 26% (78 out of 299 individuals)(5). During the covid-19 pandemic, another study records this percentage to have risen up to 40.2% by June 2020(1). It is evident that PTSD had harmed the population with its radical escalation in pre and post covid-19 pandemic., Therefore it is, crucial to take steps in the right direction by increasing awareness in public and introducing viable and cost-effective methods that are easily accessible to people and aid in resolving this dilemma in its early stages during these challenging times. Implementation of various methods is crucial to reduce the prevalence of PTSD during Covid-19 in Pakistan. Music therapy can serve as one of the interventions to reduce the bars of PTSD in Pakistan significantly.

The Results Framework of the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and the Ebbs and Flows of International Development
Authors: Oladele Aderemi
Published: March 2022

By vision and design, the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development carries two integrated and distinct features, identified as both challenge and opportunity in international development. These are notably its game-changing “results framework” and an objective to “leave no one behind” - a political imperative linked to the concept of universality, which tends to close the margin between developing and developed countries in the agenda’s applicability. These features do not only respond to change in approach to international development action for greater effectiveness, they also offer avenues for studies into susceptible changes in the perception of certain established concepts and rudiments, including those linked to reforms in global governance, management and Africa’s specificity. Through a qualitative analysis of selected contemporary debates around the Agenda 2030, this essay aims to underscore some possible alterations to perceptions of international development within the framework of the Agenda 2030 for sustainable development. To further illustrate the results framework and universality of the SDG’s examples were explored to highlight particularly implications for Africa as a development priority region.
Using CRISPR-Cas9 to Target EGFRvIII and SIRP-ɑ for Glioblastoma Treatment
Authors: Leung Maurice Ga Hay , Guilz Nicole
Published: March 2022

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive grade 4 brain tumor with a poor prognosis, with the 5-year survival rate remaining at a mere 5%. Standard first-line treatment consists of maximal safe resection followed by concomitant daily temozolomide with radiotherapy. However, tumor recurrence is frequent, and second-line treatments are lacking. While new therapies have been intensely studied, challenges with delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) have largely hampered efforts to develop new efficacious glioblastoma treatments. The development of gene therapy like CRISPR-Cas9 to treat GBM is consequently still in the early stages. This review delves into how nanoparticles could be utilized to deliver CRISPR-Cas9 across the BBB into the tumor microenvironment and effectively edit both glioblastoma cells and tumor-associated microglia/macrophages (TAMs). This review will discuss the prevalence of the EGFRvIII mutation in GBM cells and its significant role in facilitating cell proliferation and the evasion of apoptosis, analyzing EGFRvIII as a potential target for gene knockout through CRISPR editing. Further, the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment that characterizes GBM will be described, with an explanation of how TAMs contribute to tumorigenesis through their M2 polarization. Finally, the review will analyze the importance of the CD47/SIRP-α axis to the pro-tumorigenic nature of TAMs. It will study the possibility of disrupting SIRP-α expression in TAMs through CRISPR-Cas9 as a potential immunotherapy for GBM. Overall, this review will outline how the use of CRISPR-Cas9 to knock out EGFRvIII in GBM cells and SIRP-α in TAMs could potentially transform GBM treatment and substantially improve prognosis in patients.

Intelligent Survey Technologies and Applications for Urban Forests in Taiwan
Authors: Chen Jan-Chang , Wei Chun-Hung , Hsieh Yi-Ta , Huang Shang-Chuan , Peng Ping-Hsun
Published: March 2022

Background: Roadside trees play an important role in urban landscaping. They are not only related to urban scenes, traffic safety, quality of life, and health, but also closely related to ecology and cultural development. Thus, effective, intelligent management of an area of urban roadside trees will become an important topic. Methods: This paper evaluates survey technologies and management techniques utilized in many cities of Taiwan, including surveys of roadside trees, risk assessment, and precious protected trees. A roadside tree management database was built using a geographic information system (GIS). Results: The number of urban forest trees exceeded 100,000 in our surveys, and many types of intelligent survey instruments were used to survey the trees, including real-time kinematic (RTK) and non-destructive detection instruments, radio frequency identification (RFID), in-vehicle light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and panoramic streetscape systems. A tree management system can be constructed by introducing the digitized information, which is based on a basic survey of trees. The survey stage primarily relies on manual surveys, in-vehicle LiDAR, and RFID, and then a visualized database retrieval system will be proposed using GIS. This system can be utilized for the health and foundation management of trees and the whole spatial planning of urban forests, among others. Conclusion: This research attempts to summarize the trends in intelligent management of urban forests using our practical experiences with the goal that it will be a reference for the future intelligent construction of urban forests.

Background: The development of easy-to-perform diagnostic methods is highly important for detecting current coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This pilot study aimed at developing a lateral flow assay (LFA)-based test prototype to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus in saliva samples.

Methods: Mice were immunized using the recombinant receptor-binding domain (rRBD) of SARS-CoV-2 virus spike protein. The combinations of the obtained mouse anti-receptor-binding domain (RBD) polyclonal antibodies (PAbs) and several commercial antibodies directed against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein were used for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to select antibody pairs for LFA. The antibody pairs were tested in a LFA format using saliva samples from individuals with early SARS-CoV-2 infection (n = 9). The diagnostic performance of the developed LFA was evaluated using saliva samples from hospitalized COVID-19 patients (n = 111); the median time from the onset of symptoms to sample collection was 10 days (0–24 days, interquartile range (IQR): 7–13). The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) was used as a reference method.

Results: Based on ELISA and preliminary LFA results, a combination of mouse anti-RBD PAbs (capture antibody) and rabbit anti-spike PAbs (detection antibody) was chosen for clinical analysis of sample. When compared with rRT-PCR results, LFA exhibited 26.5% sensitivity, 58.1% specificity, 50.0% positive prediction value (PPV), 33.3% negative prediction value (NPV), and 38.7% diagnostic accuracy. However, there was a reasonable improvement in assay specificity (85.7%) and PPV (91.7%) when samples were stratified based on the sampling time.

Conclusion: The developed LFA assay demonstrated a potential of SARS-CoV-2 detection in saliva samples. Further technical assay improvements should be made to enhance diagnostic performance followed by a validation study in a larger cohort of both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients in the early stage of infection.

Talak di Luar Pengadilan Agama (Menurut Teori Maslahat)
Authors: Nisa Ihda Shofiyatun
Published: March 2022

Talak adalah memutus tali hubungan suami istri dari ikatan pernikahan yang sah menurut syariah. Didalam masyarakat terdapat dua pandangan mengenahi talak yang dijatuhkan di luar pengadilan yaitu antara pendapat ulama dan pakar hukum umum. Bahwasanya mana yang harus diikuti ? karena dua-duanya mempunyai dalil dan dasar hukum yang kuat. Dari permasalahan tersebut penulis berusaha untuk menguraikan pendapat dua pangadang tersebut dengan menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif.

Penelitian ini mengunakan 3 (tiga) pendekatan yaitu; pendekatan kasus, pendekatan konseptual, dan pendekatan undang-undang. Kemudian didalam menentukan jawaban atas permasalahan ini penulis menggunakan deskripsi deduktif. Hasil dari penelitian; Bahwa talak diluar pengadilan itu dapat dilihat dari dua segi, yaitu 1) mengambil maslahat 2) menolak mafsadat.

Mengambil maslahat, talak diluar pengadilan dianggap sah ketika mengutamakan sumber hukum yang akurat (maslahat akhirat, qiyas atas nikah sirri, qiyas atas talak yang tidak mensyaratkan adanya saksi dan dokumentasi terhadap talak yang dijatuhkan). Menolak mafsadat, menuntut agar talak dilakukan didepan pengadilan supaya terdapat dokumentasi yang jelas. Titik temu antara dua pendapat tentang talak diluar pengadilan menurut teori maslahat adalah talak harus dilakukan di pengadilan.

Abstrak: Fenomena perawatan tanaman tidak hanya memerlukan air yang merupakan kebutuhan primer bagi makhluk hidup, tetapi perawatan yang lainnya juga diperlukan, seperti pengolahan tanah, pemberian pupuk, pestisida atau penggunaan obat-obatan pembasmi hama lainnya, pupuk dan air merupakan hal pokok bagi tanaman, tanaman tanpa pupuk dan pestisida walaupun dapat bertahan hidup namun tidak dapat berproduksi secara maksimal. Realita telah membuktikan bahwa sebagian daerah pembiayaan pupuk justru lebih mahal daripada pembiayaan air yang bisa dibilang lebih praktis dan ekonomis. Sulitnya mendapatkan pupuk juga merupakan kendala tersendiri bagi para petani  untuk mengolah pertaniannya. Ketika permasalahn perawatan ini dikaitkan dengan kewajiban yang harus dikeluarkan untuk zakat, maka banyak sekali proses pertanian yang harus mengeluarkan biaya yang tidak sedikit. Beranjak dari kerangka ini, maka sudah selayaknya ada reformulasi produk hukum (fikih) untuk memberikan sebuah solusi sebagai jawaban atas problematika tersebut, agar tidak menjadi beban yang sangat berat khususnya bagi para petani. sehingga peranan istinbath al hukm disini sangat diperlukan, salah satunya adalah dengan konsep analogi (qiyas) yang dalam hal ini peng-qiyasan biaya pupuk dan sejenisnya dengan biaya pengairan, dimana akibat hukum yang lahir adalah prosentase pengeluaran zakat dari 10% menjadi 5%, lebih ringan karena ada beban biaya lebih yang harus ditanggung.
Measurement and Characterization on Industrial Radiation Thermometer

Published: March 2022

In Singapore, there is an increasing demand for calibration of Industrial Radiation Thermometers (IRTs), and the number of calibration laboratories providing calibration services from -20 °C to 900 °C has surged in recent years, especially for the calibration laboratories providing calibration when the emissivity setting of the thermometer is less than 1. Nevertheless, the spectral response of these IRTs are usually from 8 to 14 μm and they are not adapted properly for the wider temperature range especially at emissivity setting of 0.95. A typical IRT was chosen, studied and investigated for this purpose, while circulating among 7 participating laboratories. The IRT was calibrated and characterized by evaluation of repeatability, reproducibility, stability and possible drift, before and after each measurement at each of the laboratory. The reference temperature, Tref, was obtained by using reference thermometer such as Platinum Resistance Thermometer (PRT), thermocouple or radiation thermometer at the corresponding blackbody source temperatures. The measurements were performed with IRT emissivity settings equal to 0.95 and 1.0, respectively. The reference temperature for emissivity setting equal to 0.95, T0.95, was determined by using a software developed by NMC. The final reference values for both emissivity setting of 0.95 and 1.0 were calculated based on the average of the calibration results before sending to and after receiving from each participating laboratory. From analysis of the reference values and drift study, it is found that this IRT is more suitable for applications up to 200 °C due to small variance of the repeatability and reproducibility. On the other hand, even though a wider temperature range (- 30 °C to 900 °C) can be found from the instrument specification, larger variance of the repeatability, reproducibility and drift are observed in the temperature range above 200 °C from this study. Among the 7 participating laboratories, only one laboratory shows inconsistency result with the reference value at one test point and all the other laboratories have demonstrated consistent differences with the comparison reference values in association with their measurement uncertainties. Some of the laboratories need to improve their measurement uncertainties in the near future.

Published: March 2022

The Standards and Calibration Laboratory (SCL) has been using an automated picoampere-level DC current generation system based on the capacitor charging method for the generation of DC current in the range from 100 femtoamperes (fA) to 100 picoamperes (pA), which can achieve a relative uncertainty of less than 0.04 %. Recently, SCL has evaluated the ultra-stable low-noise current amplifier (ULCA) for the generation and measurement of low-level DC current. The ULCA was designed based on a very stable two-stage transresistance amplifier, which could measure and generate picoampere with a relative uncertainty in the 10-6 level. In this paper, the performance of the capacitor charging method and a standard ULCA at the picoampere level was compared and discussed.

Abstract. In the past decade, ozone (O3) pollution has become a severe environmental problem in major cities in China. Here, based on available observational records, we investigated the long-term trend of ozone pollution in China during 2014–2020. Ozone concentrations were higher in urban areas than in non-urban areas. During these seven years, the highest ozone concentrations primarily occurred in summer in northern China, and in autumn or spring in southern China. Although ozone precursors, including nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO), continuously decreased throughout the seven years, four ozone metrics that were used to characterize ozone exposure levels increased from 2014 to 2017 and reached a plateau after 2017. The long-term trend of ozone concentrations differed across seasons; especially from 2019 to 2020 when ozone concentrations decreased in summer and increased in winter. To analyze the causes of this observed trend, a photochemical box model was used to investigate the change in ozone sensitivity regime in two representative cities – Beijing and Shanghai. Our model simulations suggest that the summertime ozone sensitivity regime in urban areas of China has changed from a VOC-limited regime to a transition regime during 2014–2020; by 2020, the urban photochemistry is in a transition regime in summer but in a VOC-limited regime in winter. This study helps to understand the distinct trends of ozone in China and provides insights into efficient future ozone control strategies in different regions and seasons.
