Published: March 2022

In this research, an acoustic sensor has been successfully built to measure the concentration of CO2 gas in a mixture of gases (N2 and CO2). The nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases used are ultra-high purity (UHP) gas. The measurement parameter used is the speed of sound by utilizing the phase shift between ultrasonic wave signals that are sent and received continuously. The acoustic method in this research is by using the speaker as an ultrasonic wave transmitter, and the microphone as an ultrasonic wave receiver emitted by the speaker on the gas medium. This acoustic phase shift method is very sensitive to be used to determine the speed of sound on a gas medium. From the sensor testing, the sensor has good linearity in detecting changes in CO2 concentration in the gas mixture. The sensor test results have been validated theoretically and obtained an RMS error of 3.36 (3.36% with a maximum concentration of 100%), this proves that the work of the sensor is in accordance with the theory. In addition to theoretical validation, the work of the sensor has also been validated by looking at the direct relationship between sensor input and output through the inverse function, and an RMS error of 3.51 (3.51% with a maximum concentration of 100%) is obtained. From the overall results obtained, the acoustic CO2 gas sensor that is built can detect changes in CO2 concentrations in the gas mixture accurately, fabrication of the sensor is easy to do, and the costs required in the manufacturing process are cheap.

Authors: Merchant Mikail , Kapadia Kayomars , Singh Rana Arvind , Ganesan Karthik
Published: March 2022

Time and again in medical literature, extra-luminal foreign bodies have been documented in different
parts of the body. However, the occurrence of non-rearm, non-explosive, non-iatrogenic foreign bodies
are rare. Most foreign bodies are seen in high-risk populations such as paediatric age groups, psychiatric patients, alcoholics
and are usually found incidentally while screening for some other medical condition. Most swallowed foreign bodies;
depending on their shape and size are generally passed out naturally, a few tend to get lodged along the tract, causing
perforations and rarely may migrate to nearby organs or viscera. While symptoms may vary, a large number of these foreign
bodies may go unnoticed for years, making it a challenge to accurately trace their incidence or the source of occurrence. Here,
we present a case of a 58 year old man with a linear thin metallic wire in the infra-renal, pre-aortic region with no possible clue for
origin or migration making its whole presence a mystery!

Background: Postpartum depression is one of the most common, but often unrecognized, complications
of childbirth and is considered as a serious psychological disorder that can affect women during or after
birth and during pregnancy. Its risk increases during the rst 90 days and can last up to nearly two years.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of postpartum depression (PPD) and correlate it with variables of obstetric and
demographic predictors among females attending primary health care centres in Arar city.
Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study carried out by using Arabic version of questionnaire of Edinburgh Postnatal
Depression Scale (EPDS) tool during the study period from August to September 2021. A total of 383 sample was taken by using
convenience sampling method. Analysis was done by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences.
Results: The prevalence of postpartum depression was 30.5%. Multiple associated factors were found to be signicantly
increase the risk of PPD such as: females who had caesarean section delivery, unplanned pregnancy, complicated pregnancy,
their baby had medical problem and had no or less husband support, had psychiatric disorders, had chronic medical problem,
taking chronic medication, had life stressor, low education and low income (P < 0.05). The results of the logistic regression
analysis showed that the odds of PPD signicantly increase in females had caesarean section delivery compared to vaginal
delivery (P = .002), females had rare support from the husband (P = .002), females had psychiatric disorders (P = 0.016) and
had life stressor (P = .000).
Conclusions: The prevalence of postpartum depression in the city of Alar was clearly high. Our study also showed important
predictors that could be used to identify high-risk females. It is advisable to provide social support to females during both
prenatal and postnatal periods. Regular screening of women for postpartum depression should be encouraged for early
detection and prompt intervention.

Aim: To compare pathomorphological changes in the venous wall of large diameter great saphenous veins (GSV) after endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) using wavelengths of 1470 nm and 1940 nm.
Materials and Methods: We studied 120 specimens of great saphenous veins from 30 patients with chronic venous disease with large-diameter (>1 cm). Patients were randomly divided into two groups. The 1st group received EVLA using wavelengths of 1470 nm, the 2nd group received EVLA using wavelengths of 1940 nm. Four specimens were taken at the level of the lower third of the thigh after laser coagulation in each patient. Vein specimens were processed for histological studies. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed to assess the degree of wall changes.
Results: The share of satisfactory results when using 1470 nm laser wavelengths is 83.3%, while when using 1940 nm laser wavelengths this result is 93.3%. When using both wavelengths of laser irradiation with a GSV diameter of more than 1 cm, no unsatisfactory results are observed.
Conclusions: Obtained in our study data confirmed efficacy of the 1470 and 1940 nm endovenous laser ablation in the treatment of the large size GSV (more than 10 mm). Histological exams show preferability in the 1940 nm EVLA versa 1470 nm, considering the excellent result in the uniformity of distribution and safety in the deepness of the thermal injury.

Published: March 2022

Aim: The purpose of the study was to substantiate the relevance of the introduction of physiotherapy for prevention and rehabilitation for medial tibial stress syndrome in cadets by analyzing of their injuries experience.
Materials and Methods: 256 cadets took part in the retrospective study. The study was conducted in a survey form. The specially prepared questionnaire included questions about injuries and pain syndromes with an emphasis in the manifestation of symptoms of medial tibial stress syndrome.
Results: 59.5% of respondents reported on the occurrence of injuries and pain syndromes during training in higher military educational institutions. The first year was pointed out as the most traumatic by the cadets of all year of studying. Out of all respondents 62% of the first year cadets, 37.8% of the second years, and 32.2% of the third years pointed the first year as the most traumatic. 83.2% of respondents indicated having an experience of injuries and pain syndromes in the lower limbs during training. It was found that 13.6% of injuries and pain syndromes in cadets occur in the lower limbs; among them 62.1% have the localization of pain on the medial surface.
Conclusions: The highest number of injuries and pain syndromes in cadets occurs in the first year of studying. The most common are injuries and pain syndromes of the lower limbs, a third part of which are the injuries of the tibiae area. More than half of all injuries and pain syndromes of the lower limbs are localized on the medial surface, which means the risk of development of MTSS. The obtained results determine the relevance of research on the development and analysis of the effectiveness of using physiotherapy interventions to prevent and treat the MTSS in cadets

Published: March 2022

Aim: To study the peculiarities of the course of familial tuberculosis, which includes tuberculosis revealed in someone in the family if there is a source of this infection.
Materials and methods: We studied 199 families. One member of each family contracted pulmonary tuberculosis and later became a source of the disease for contactees. The examination was performed with standard clinical techniques using radiological, bacteriological, and immunological examination techniques.
Results: We found that in 12-24 months, 207 people were diseased in these families. We also revealed the shift toward a younger age among the diseased contactees. Special emphasis should be paid to the disease of children under 18–52 people, while there was only one patient among the sources of tuberculosis. There were more cases of familial tuberculosis in urban than in rural areas. Females were more likely to suffer from these forms of tuberculosis.
Conclusions: Considering the above, we believe that the development of familial tuberculosis occurs due to closer contact of TB source patients with family members, which is facilitated by bad habits of source patients and lack of isolation of contactees from sources and ill-considered reform of health care in general and tuberculosis particularly.

Authors: İNCE Enver , DEMİR İbrahim , ÇELİK Murat
Published: March 2022

This article aims to gauge stimulated travel demand in the case of İstanbul by investigating the inter-relationship between two variables called amount of trips and travel time. Such an empirical investigation is expected to construct a baseline for determining the optimum transportation project with regard to the concern of minimizing the amount of travel time spent by communities. At this juncture, an amount of applied econometric models for measuring stimulated travel demand were exhibited in detail. According to the results of path analysis as an advanced version of simultaneous equations system, approximately 27 % decrease in travel time causes 71 % additional increase in amount of trips in a day. This result once more reveals that unending supply of transportation infrastructure in urban areas causes a kind of vicious circle in the long run, which necessitates further travel demand management strategies in all over the world.
The Specific Definition of Ecoterrorist Organizations in the USA and Russia
Authors: Gribanova Galina Isaakovna , Karatueva Elena Nikolaevna
Published: March 2022

Nowadays there are two main interpretations of the concept of "ecoterrorism". According to the first interpretation, environmental organizations are classified as ecoterrorist organizations that fight for animal rights and against pollution using violent methods of a criminal nature. In conformity with the second interpretation, the concept of ecoterrorism is interpreted more broadly and includes acts of deliberate damage to the environment to achieve certain political and other goals. After conducting a comparative political and legal analysis of ecoterrorist organizations in different countries (primarily, the United States and Russia) and their activities in national legislations, the authors of the article have concluded that the absence of a single and internationally recognized definition of ecoterrorism is associated with the ideological assessment of the phenomenon of "terrorism", on the one hand, and with the clash of not only different concepts but also various methodologies typical of the political and legal field of a given country, on the other hand. Due to various interpretations of environmental terrorism, a list of generally recognized international ecoterrorist organizations has not been compiled, which hinders any counteraction to ecoterrorism.

Published: March 2022

This study aims to determine the factors affecting the timeliness of financial statements from the perspective of company characteristics and corporate governance mechanism. We examined the panel data from financial statements and annual reports of 172 Vietnamese companies listed on HOSE and HNX from 2014 to 2020 and found that company size had a negative impact on the timeliness of financial statements, while profitability had a positive impact. Besides, the findings also showed that board ownership and audit quality had a negative impact on the timeliness of financial statements. Our findings were derived from Bayesian analysis, which was first used in studies related to the timeliness of financial statements. On the basis of our findings, we offer several governance implications for stakeholders.

The present study aims to identify the gender characteristics of professional orientations and strategies for building a professional career by young professionals. Based on sociological data, the author examines the main ways and features of youth employment according to the chosen profession. Informal employment channels through acquaintances and social networking are more effective than formal. Young women are more likely to face barriers to employment due to a lack of practical work skills and length of service. Young men more often point to the lack of demand for their profession in the labor market and are more oriented on financial standing.

Correction of Speaking Mistakes when Learning a Foreign Language - Analysis of the Most Common Mistakes and their Correction in Learning the German Language
Authors: Bushi Jonida , Kristo Ema , Papajorgji Endri
Published: March 2022

Verbal mistake corrections occur frequently during the process of learning a foreign language and are usually initiated by the teacher. Foreign language teachers have a significant impact on the behavior of verbal correction, thus influencing the organization of in-class discussions and the acquisition of a foreign language. Making mistakes during foreign language learning is no longer seen as a deficiency of language skills. On the contrary, making mistakes is a completely normal part of the process during foreign language acquisition. Fundamentally, mistake correction should be seen as a good opportunity for the students. They show the current acquiring status of the student; teachers understand where it is necessary to replicate knowledge and profoundly acquire it. The main topic of this article is correcting mistakes when speaking in a foreign language. The article addresses issues closely related to the main topic such as: What mistakes do teachers usually correct and how? When do teachers correct mistakes? In what situation do they immediately intervene / not intervene? What do teachers do after the correction? Who corrects during the lesson? How do teachers encourage self-correction? In addition to the theoretical contributions in this field, we have tried to answer these questions through surveys and questionnaires by evaluating the answers we have received from 90 German language teachers. The analyses of the questionnaire as well as the conclusions are presented at the end of this article.

Authors: Mahmoud A. Al Haliq , Mo'een A. Oudat
Published: March 2022

This study aimed at identifying the effect of teaching a sports and health course on the Hashemite University students' attitudes towards certain food habits and the practice of physical activities. The study sample consisted of (100) male and female students, who are enrolled in the sports and health course in the first semester of the academic year 2020/2021. The instrument of Saleh and Al-Ahmadi (2016) was used for our study, which included (40) items distributed over two domains (healthy eating habits and physical activities practice). The scientific coefficients of the study instrument were calculated, and the total reliability coefficient amounted (0.91), as well as the means (M's) and standard deviations (SD's). Furthermore, the Test-Retest and MANOVA procedures were applied to identify the differences among the means and to answer the study questions. The results showed statistically significant differences between the pretest and posttest scores, which were in favor of the posttest. In addition, there were differences in the means of all the domains and the instrument, as a whole, between the pretest and posttest, which are ascribed to the gender variable, in favor of the females in the healthy eating habits domain, and in favor of males in the physical activities practice. The results further showed differences among the means in all the domains and the instrument, as a whole, between the pretest and posttest attributed to the college variable, in favor of the humane science colleges. Moreover, there were differences among the means in all the domains and the instrument, as a whole, between the pretest and posttest ascribed to the academic year variable, which were in favor of the first year in the physical activities practice domain. In the light of these results, the researcher concluded that teaching a "sports and health" course, with its concepts and information, has a positive effect in changing the students' attitudes towards the healthy eating habits and physical activities practice. The researcher recommended that this course should be introduced as a compulsory course for all the university students.
