Published: June 2024

A typical diffraction experiment yields several pictures and datasets from various crystals within ‎a brief timeframe. This poses a barrier for the efficient operation of advanced synchrotron ‎beamlines and the following data processing. Novice users, in particular, may have a sense of ‎being inundated by the tables, graphs, and numerical information that is provided to them via ‎different data-processing systems and software packages. Here, we outline many common ‎obstacles that users face while processing a collection of photos to generate a processed dataset. ‎Our main emphasis is on the challenges that often occur while transitioning from the earliest ‎phases of converting experimental data collecting into an interpreted electron density model. ‎Examining certain data properties during processing may frequently help solve or identify ‎challenges such as unforeseen crystal formations, issues with crystal manipulation, and ‎suboptimal selection of data-collection techniques. Ultimately, it is important to distinguish ‎between concerns that are beyond of one's immediate control after the experiment has concluded ‎and those that can be dealt with later.‎ Presenting auto PROC, an innovative software solution ‎that combines external processing packages with new tools and an automated workflow script. ‎This program is designed to help users effectively handle data that is impacted by the issues ‎outlined above. It specifically focuses on automating the processing of multi-sweep data sets ‎produced from multi-axis gonio metrics. It offers consumers both instruction and important ‎insights into the processing of data that is not done online.‎

Published: June 2024

This study aims to determine the relationship between arm length, arm muscle power and leg muscle power on butterfly swimming performance. This research uses a survey method. Data collection techniques use tests and measurements. The population in this study were swimming athletes aged 12 to 13 years in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province. The research used was population research with a total of 27 athletes. The main instruments used are the arm length test, arm muscle power test, leg muscle power test and 25 meter butterfly swimming test. The data analysis used is the normality test, linearity test, correlation test and multiple regression analysis test with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that the relationship between arm length and butterfly swimming performance was 0.617, the relationship between arm muscle power and butterfly swimming performance was 0.460, the relationship between leg muscle power and butterfly swimming performance was 0.838 and the relationship between arm length, arm muscle power and leg muscle power on butterfly swimming performance is 0.897. The correlation between arm length is greater than arm muscle power because each athlete's butterfly swimming technique is not the same (how much the elbow bends when the arm is pulled).

Published: June 2024

As diversas sociedades se basearam na observação do céu para o desenvolvimento das suas atividades ao longo do tempo e espaço geográfico, até mesmo para interagir com a natureza. Embora a Astronomia não seja uma disciplina escolar, a sua compreensão na educação formal é de grande relevância. Assim, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo debater como é apresentada a Astronomia na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) de Geografia dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental, e para isso utilizou como metodologia a análise bibliográfica e documental. A Astronomia poderia ser mais aprofundada nas propostas curriculares da Geografia, pois existe potencial para sua abordagem quanto as relações entre sociedade e natureza nas transformações do espaço geográfico, embora se sobressaiam os desafios, como a formação de professores, materiais didáticos e uma maior aplicação as vivências dos estudantes. Os conhecimentos astronômicos na BNCC de Geografia encontram-se no 6º Ano do Ensino Fundamental nos conteúdos físico-naturais, mas poderiam ser abordados em outros Anos de escolaridade se compreendidas as relações entre sociedade e natureza.

Authors: D. Tamil Vendan  , S. Abdul Rahuman  , Nafsiya Abdul Raphic  , S. Sumega Sree  , Kore Sai Lakshmi
Published: June 2024

Research and development in engineering composites are advancing rapidly. The demand for lightweight materials with high specific strength in aerospace and high-energy applications makes composites a prime choice. Using composite materials to reduce structural weight is favored for energy saving and emission reduction, making them popular in automobiles and other fields. However, composites require holes for assembly and fastening in many applications, such as airplane structures and automotive parts. These holes can concentrate stress, potentially reducing tensile strength and compromising structural integrity. Notches, including holes and slots, are inevitable during assembly and may also result from impact damage during service. Ensuring safety and reliability necessitates quantifying residual properties and failure responses. Stress concentration issues will occur around holes, whether in laminates used for interior decoration, outsourced parts, or bearing components. Therefore, notch design must consider the effects on failure mode, mechanical performance, and interlayer damage distribution. This study examines the open-hole tensile behavior of sisal-glass fiber-reinforced epoxy composites, aiming to understand the impact of circular holes on their tensile strength and failure mechanisms.

Authors: C. Venkata Sai Nagendra  , N. Jayaramappa  , Veena
Published: June 2024

Several efforts are being made by researchers to turn concrete into a more sustainable material. Various research are being carried out to substitute cement in concrete, either whole or in part. The current work uses mineral admixtures like metakaolin and GGBS (blended concrete) to partially substitute cement in concrete. Concrete prone to cracking due to structural and Non-structural conditions. All kinds of fissures have the potential to harm concrete by letting water and other substances pass through them, which weakens and distorts the material while also compromising the reinforcing. To repair the concrete cracks, a certain type of treatment and routine upkeep are required, and they will be very costly. So, the current research is to study the impact of Bacteria (microbes) on crack healing as well as on properties of blended concrete. Different mixes of M25-grade concrete were done by using M-sand  as fine aggregate to obtain the optimum percentage of GGBS used as supplementary cementitious material (0, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%), and the same percentage was used in blended concrete, which included metakaolin at different percentages (0, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%).Among different mixes, the proportions of blended concrete with enhanced mechanical properties were considered, and bacteria were induced at a constant percentage in that mix. The results indicated that the microbial blended concrete mix has significantly improved mechanical and durability properties, when compared to conventional and blended concrete mixes.

Authors: Meskiri Aisha , Musallam Lama , Alkatheeri Anfal , Almessabi Naof
Published: June 2024

Purpose: Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) among females. Knowledge and awareness toward cervical cancer has been proven to be essential toward decreasing the number of cervical cancer cases. In fact, adequate knowledge towards cervical cancer screening will help in early diagnosis and good prognosis outcome towards cervical cancer. The aim of this capstone project was to address the knowledge, attitude toward screening and prevention of cervical cancer among women at HCT in the UAE.
Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey that contained 22 multiple choice questions and was distributed via email. The sample size of this study is to target approximately 250-300 respondents and random sampling is used to select the participants.  The data downloaded from Microsoft Forms into a Microsoft Excel sheet (version 16.36). To analyze the data, SPSS version 25.0 was used and the frequency, percentage tables were constructed for each section of the survey.
Results: Responses of 196 participants were used in the data analysis. The vast majority of the participants (55.1%) were aged between 21- 25 years old and were mainly from Abu Dhabi campus (91.8%). A significant association was observed between the field of education and the knowledge of cervical cancer (p=0.002, p˂0.05). Additionally, screening knowledge and attitude toward cervical cancer were also noted to have an association between age (p=0.022, p˂0.05) and field of education (p=0.002, p˂0.05). Cervical cancer prevention had a strong association between age (p=0.007, p˂0.05), nationality (p=0.004, p˂0.05), and field of education (p=0.000, p˂0.05). Furthermore, 54.08% of participants had average knowledge and attitude toward screening and prevention of cervical cancer.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Despite the strong association between field of education and the overall knowledge toward cervical cancer.  Awareness sessions conducted by wide sponsors such as students’ life, campus operation, and department of health, will help in increasing cervical cancer knowledge and attitude. Based on the findings, it is recommending exploring female’s perspective in the UAE towards receiving HPV self-sampling kit at home, which helps to identify HPV positive females, therefore estimating the chances of developing cervical cancer.

Authors: Yücel Ahmet Galip
Published: June 2024

Sosyal bilgiler dersi, doğası gereği tarih, coğrafya, hukuk, ekonomi ve siyaset gibi sosyal bilimlerin birçok bilgi ve kavramını öğrenciye kazandırmayı amaç edinir. Öğrenciler söz konusu bilgi ve kavramların bazılarına aşina olmayabilir ya da ilk kez duyuyor olabilirler. Dolayısıyla öğrenme ve öğretme sürecinde çeşitli destekleyiciler gerekebilir. Bu araçlardan birisi de grafik düzenleyicilerdir. Bu araştırmada ortaokul düzeyinde sosyal bilgiler ders kitaplarında yer alan grafik düzenleyicilerin mevcut durumlarını içeriksel, biçimsel ve kullanım amacı bakımından incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında veriler doğrudan yazılı materyal niteliğindeki ders kitaplarından toplandığından araştırmada doküman inceleme deseni kullanılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında her sınıf düzeyinden bir özel yayınevine ve bir de MEB yayınlarına ait olmak üzere ikişer ders kitabı incelemeye dâhil edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda beşinci sınıf ders kitaplarının içeriksel bakımdan tüm grafik düzenleyicileri içerdiği ancak değerlendirici ve ayrıntılayıcı grafik düzenleyicilere daha fazla yer verildiği anlaşılmıştır. Biçimsel olarak ise tablo ve merkezcil grafik düzenleyicilere ağırlık verildiği tespit edilmiştir. Altıncı sınıf ders kitaplarında ise içeriksel bakımdan karşılaştırıcı ve hiyerarşik, biçimsel bakımdan ise merkezcil ve tablo halinde grafik düzenleyiciler daha fazla yer bulmuştur. Yedinci sınıf ders kitaplarında ise içeriksel olarak sıralayıcı ve hiyerarşik, biçimsel olarak ise zincir halindeki grafik düzenleyicilere ağırlık verilmiştir. Beşinci ve yedinci sınıf ders kitaplarında altıncı sınıf ders kitaplarına oranla çok daha fazla grafik düzenleyici kullanılmıştır. Genel olarak bakıldığında altıncı sınıf dışında ders kitaplarında ortalama düzeyde grafik düzenleyiciye başvurulduğu düşünülmektedir. Altıncı sınıfta ise kullanılan grafik düzenleyicilerin yetersiz sayıda olduğu söylenebilir.

Authors: DANQUAH BRIGHT , BLANKSON-STYLES-OCRAN SARAH , APREH SIAW GLADYS , AFI ATSAKPO ASEYE
Published: June 2024

Souvenirs are tangible reminders of the experiences of tourists and hence an important component of the tourist product despite their centrality to tourists’ experiences. Generally, there have been empirical studies on tourists’ attitudes toward souvenirs. A few studies on souvenirs have concentrated on the cognitive aspect while neglecting the affective and conative components of attitudes toward souvenirs. The research used a cross-sectional survey and collected data from 387 international tourists using a questionnaire. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The emotional reactions of tourists were measured using mean scores and standard deviations. Findings from the study revealed that respondents had positive emotions towards the souvenirs they purchased. It was recommended that Organizations like the Centre for National Culture and Aid to Artisans Ghana should periodically organize workshops and on-the-job training for local artisans to enhance their skills to help revive and inculcate extinct designs in the production of souvenirs.

Authors: Letsa Lolonyo , Frempong Foster
Published: June 2024

This study examined COVID-19 risk perception, student engagement, peer-led team learning, and learning satisfaction among students in the hospitality and tourism departments in Ghanaian universities. Valid responses for this study from 440 hospitality and tourism students across four (4) universities across the country were analysed to achieve this objective. COVID-19 risk perception proved to have a significant positive impact on students’ engagement and peer team learning, but an insignificant negative influence on learning satisfaction. The results also underscored the positive role of the learning environment in driving students’ engagement and learning satisfaction including the positive bearing of students’ engagement on learning satisfaction. The study contributes to theory and practice by extending the social cognitive and self-determination theories to understand the links between COVID-19 risk perception, student engagement, peer-led team learning, and learning satisfaction among students in the hospitality and tourism departments in Ghanaian universities. Thus, the integration of social cognitive and self-determination theories in this study provides a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing learning experiences during the pandemic.
Making Healthful Food Choices: University Employee Perception of Nutritional Information on Restaurant Menu
Authors: Bansah Abednego Kofi
Published: June 2024

Nutrition-related illnesses continue to pose challenges for healthcare providers and as such, people are encouraged to look into meal constituents, especially in the hospitality industry. This study sought university employees’ general perception of nutritional information on restaurant menus. Data was purposively obtained from employees who patronized restaurants on the university campus. Descriptive statistics and an independent samples t-test were used to analyze the data.  Results indicated that respondents had some form of perceived knowledge of nutritional information with calories and cholesterol, reported as the most important information to be provided on menus. There was a statistically significant difference between females and male respondents with females showing a greater positive perceived nutritional knowledge than their male counterparts. University employees had a high perceived expectation of the provision of nutritional information on menus of restaurants on campus. Implications for restaurants on campus to provide nutritional information on menus that can guide healthier food choices and the University’s management involvement in encouraging individuals to develop and maintain better eating habits are also discussed.
Health information-seeking on Reddit, by people who use opioids
Authors: Sullivan Margaret , Hancock Jonah , Shaw George , Ni Chaoqun
Published: June 2024

Introduction. In the most recent year that data is available, 101,035 people died from drug overdoses in the United States. For people who use drugs, obtaining treatment remains a significant barrier due to issues of fear, stigmatisation, and illegality. Some people turn to the anonymous social media site, Reddit, for obtaining health and harm reduction information.
Method. In this study we analysed 2,748 health-related posts on the subreddit r/opiates over a three-month period.
Analysis. Using a thematic analysis grounded in social constructivism, we categorised the data to determine the most frequent types of health questions asked by people who use opioids. We then used the text analysis software Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count to determine the emotional content of the posts.
Results. Most of the posts were asking about harm reduction strategies and methods to reduce or quit opioid use.
Conclusion. The text analysis demonstrated evidence of Foucault’s discourse theory. People who use opioids need more information on harm reduction strategies, and especially safely administering and withdrawing from them.

Authors: Cao Jiajun , Wang Yuefen , Xie Xin , Lv Yuanzhi , Chen Peng
Published: June 2024

Introduction. This study aims to explore the influencing factors and their combined effects on the benefits of knowledge innovation, and to explore the impact of factors on the effects of knowledge innovation from a configuration perspective.
Method. This study constructed a knowledge innovation ecosystem for scientific research crowdsourcing platforms, as well as a configuration model that affects the knowledge innovation benefits of scientific research crowdsourcing. Based on this, we collected data through a survey questionnaire. Then, we used the method of fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis to identify the configuration effects of influencing factors and analyse the core configuration.
Analysis. Five core configurations were constructed, which are shown as internal and external linkage based on environmental dynamics, individual and environment interlocking based on team maintenance, individual initiative to supplement weaknesses, external drive driven, and individual led based on team and platform support.
Results. The configurations have different focuses, but all highlight the core conditions for individual innovation investment as the configuration.
Conclusion. The results indicate that individual driving factors are worth considering. Meanwhile, by referring to the core components of the five configurations, researchers can combine various factors to better form knowledge innovation.
Information seeking behaviour in music conductors’ repertoire selection
Authors: Firkins Christina , Barrett-Berg Michael , Fourie Ina
Published: June 2024

Introduction. Music repertoire selection is a process driven by music conductors. They focus on scoring, ensemble composition, acquisition methods (i.e., acquiring the music). Information needs and seeking are core to repertoire selection and conductors’ tasks/roles. It cannot be considered in isolation; other conductor responsibilities, past experiences, and external factors (e.g., finances) influence the process and information seeking. We report findings from an exploratory study conducted in 2023 with 37 conductors.
Method. Brief literature review, triangulated with findings from a mixed-method study. A semi-structured questionnaire collected quantitative data from 37 conductors and individual online interviews collected qualitative data from two conductors.
Analysis. Quantitative data revealed typical tasks requiring information, issues to consider in repertoire selection (e.g., text, ensemble capabilities), internet usage and other information seeking activities and sources. Qualitative data elaborated on factors influencing repertoire selection and information seeking e.g., repertoire inspiration and financial factors.
Results & discussion. Three core themes influencing information seeking are discussed: process of repertoire selection, user (individual conductor) characteristics, external factors. The repertoire selection (process) is mapped against information seeking behaviour (activities, sources), user characteristics and external factors.
Conclusion. Music repertoire selection’s interdependence with other tasks of music conductors, the importance of individuality and inevitable external factors, influence information seeking.
Models and theories that can guide grief and bereavement information interventions: an information behaviour lens
Authors: Fourie Ina
Published: June 2024

Introduction. Information behaviour in grief, bereavement, death, dying and its influence on the development of information interventions is understudied. Although pragmatic and evidence-based practices work well, theoretical and conceptual models, research findings and theories should inform grief and bereavement information interventions developed by specialist counsellors. Extensive literature on death, dying, grief and bereavement counselling/therapy and information behaviour per se, does not address this need. This paper reports on work in progress exploring existing theories and models that might guide research.
Method. Scoping review of literature from applicable disciplines (health, social work, religion, psychology, library/information science) for theories/models reported in grief and bereavement counselling and bereavement information intervention design. The focus is on information behaviour and all related information activities.
Analysis. Two tables based on a content analysis that show theories/models that hold value for information interventions and studies of information behaviour.
Results. The analysis reveals a spectrum of theories including grief theory, grief stage theory, theory of motivated information management. Models for consideration include bereavement model, transtheoretical model (narratives), social interaction model.
Conclusion. Information behaviour research should continue to strive in conceptually and theoretically informing grief and bereavement information interventions, practices and work in grief and bereavement counselling.

Authors: Hagberg Katarina , Lundin Karin , Lundh Anna , Hedemark Åse
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The ability to read and interpret different types of text can be significantly impacted by neuropsychiatric disabilities, which affect cognitive abilities. This paper explores and reviews previous studies within library and information science on neuropsychiatric disabilities in relation to reading practices.  
Method. Searches were performed in LISA and LISTA to identify research on readers with neuropsychiatric disabilities. Results were screened and 14 peer reviewed articles were chosen for inclusion. Utilising content analysis, the examined articles were deductively and inductively categorised according to the following themes: impairment, user group and context, research design, assistive technologies for reading, reading for information seeking, reading for evaluation, and reading, self-efficacy and identity.
Findings. Most articles address dyslexia. The majority of studies have been conducted in educational settings and have an experimental research design. Six studies address assistive technologies for reading, the remaining eight concern reading in relation to information practices.
Conclusion. There is an imbalance in the types of impairments that have been addressed in previous research. Few studies concern everyday reading practices and more research outside of educational contexts is needed. Furthermore, there is a lack of research that delves deeper into the experiences of readers with neuropsychiatric disabilities.
Digital health applications and health literacy: an explorative analysis
Authors: Imeri Aylin , Schorr Sabrina , Merkel Sebastian
Published: June 2024

Introduction. In 2020, Digital Health Applications (known as DiGA) have been introduced to the German healthcare system. DiGA are medical devices based on digital technologies that can be prescribed by physician and psychotherapists and reimbursed by health insurance companies. DiGA must demonstrate a positive healthcare effect, e.g. by improving of health literacy. Health literacy as a concept has received increasing attention in recent years but has also been subject to a vivid debate on its theoretical underpinning and methodological challenges.
Method & Analysis. For this study, all 53 DiGA listed in the official registry were reviewed. We searched the DiGA registry to answer the following research question: do DiGA measure health literacy and which health literacy measurement instruments are applied?
Results. Of the 53 DiGA listed, 29 are permanently and 24 provisionally listed in the DiGA directory. Although seven DiGA use health literacy measurement tools, the theoretical or conceptual explanation of these tools and the decision to use them is lacking.
Conclusion. This paper argues that there is a need to empirically investigate the motivation of DiGA developers, taking into account the use and non-use of health literacy measurement tools.
Layers upon layers: data sharing & reuse challenges in archaeological contexts
Authors: Olsson Michael , Sköld Olle , Andersson Lisa
Published: June 2024

Introduction. This short paper presents preliminary findings from a study of archaeologist’s information practices relating to data sharing and reuse.
Method. Semi-structured remote interviews were carried out with 16 archaeologists relating to their research interests, their data creation, use and reuse practices, as well as the general views on the importance of data sharing and reuse in archaeology.
Analysis. Analysis was undertaken using an inductive, thematic approach informed by Kemmis et. al.’s (2014) practice architectures model.
Results. The findings demonstrate that participants’ data sharing and reuse information practices feature cultural-discursive, material-economic, and social-political arrangements and that these three forms of arrangements are often interrelated.
Conclusion. The practice architectures framework can make a significant contribution to both finding solutions to some of the key issues that have hampered the development of the Open Data movement, as well as offering possibilities for new avenues of information practices research.
Surfacing the ‘silent foundation’: which information behaviour theories are relevant to public library reference service?
Authors: VanScoy Amy , Hands Africa S. , Švab Katarina , Merčun Tanja
Published: June 2024

Introduction. Despite extensive discussions on the theory/practice gap in library and information science, there is a paucity of research on the value and use of formal theory by librarians in their daily practice.
Method. Our card sort and interview study investigated which information behaviour theories were relevant to public librarians from Slovenia and the United States in their reference practice and how they encounter those theories in their practice.
Results. All of the information behaviour theories were considered relevant by some of the participants. Bounded rationality or “satisficing” was seen as most relevant for information service, while the key difference between Slovenian and United States librarians was observed in their perception of “information poverty”. Participants were generally able to provide examples of how the theories were used in practice, but usually did not recall learning about the theory or the theory’s name.
Conclusion. Information behaviour theory is relevant to reference practice in public libraries although its use by librarians may be implicit. These findings may be useful to instructors in LIS programs to convey to students the value of learning theory. Questions remain about why librarians find certain theories more relevant than others and what factors contribute to the differences in their perceptions.

Klimaatverandering bij het Nederlandse vestigingsklimaat?
Authors: Volberda Henk , Heij Kevin
Published: June 2024

Hoe aantrekkelijk is het Nederlandse vestigingsklimaat (nog)? Met toenemende concurrentie voor het aantrekken van innovatieve en duurzame bedrijven alsmede afnemende buitenlandse investeringen is de aanwezigheid van een geschikt vestigingsklimaat van toenemend belang (Rijksoverheid 2021). Maar door de grote uitdagingen in Nederland, waaronder het woningtekort, aanhoudende krapte op de arbeidsmarkt, de stikstof- en energiecrisis tezamen met veranderende geopolitieke verhoudingen en de duurzaamheids- en digitaliseringstransitie, staat het vestigingsklimaat onder druk (NRC 2023, 2 februari 2023). In het licht van de veranderende politieke verhoudingen na de Tweede Kamer-verkiezingen waarbij beperking van arbeidsmigratie een belangrijk speerpunt vormt, en met de in allerijl aangenomen moties van de Tweede Kamer voorafgaande aan die verkiezingen (afschaffing van de 30%-regeling voor expats en het belasten van de inkoop van eigen aandelen), staat het vestigingsklimaat in Nederland nog meer onder druk. Dit artikel is gebaseerd op empirisch onderzoek naar de stand van zaken.

Abstract: E-commerce is an online sales media that allows interaction between sellers and buyers. However, many entrepreneurs in the food and beverage sector, including Cafe Youth, have not implemented e-commerce in their business operations. Cafe Youtme has shortcomings in implementing routine sales, promotions, as well as product and sales management. This research analyzes SWOT to develop how a business works with the UML model, covering 12 diagrams including, payment verification, payment confirmation, and sales data recap. UML also includes a class diagram of Cafe Youtme's e-commerce system with seven classes: Customer, Menu, and Payment. The results of the accuracy and reliability test using the AC1 Gwet calculator show a value of 0.66979, which is included in the "Substantial" category, indicating that recommendations for improving business models and customer presentation are good and can be implemented in their business activities..
