Blood pressure is a primary cause of death among hypertensive patients. Physiologically, advancing age increases the risk of hypertension. Factors contributing to hypertension include unhealthy lifestyle patterns. The PATUH program is a beneficial initiative for hypertensive patients in managing blood pressure. PATUH stands for regular health check-ups and following doctor's recommendations, managing diseases with appropriate and regular medication, maintaining a balanced diet and nutrition, engaging in safe physical activities, and avoiding cigarette smoke, alcohol, and other carcinogenic substances. The research design employed was descriptive retrospective with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of 93 elderly hypertensive patients in Posyandu (Elderly Integrated Health Post) in Ledug Village. The sample included 38 elderly individuals who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on PATUH behavior, 35 elderly individuals (92.1%) were classified as adherent, 2 (5.3%) as moderately adherent, and 1 (2.6%) as non-adherent. In terms of average blood pressure results, 19 individuals (50%) were classified as pre-hypertensive, 18 (47.4%) as stage 1 hypertensive, and 1 (2.6%) as stage 2 hypertensive. There is a significant correlation between the PATUH program and blood pressure values in elderly hypertensive patients in Posyandu in Ledug Village, with a P value (p=0.000**) and a correlation coefficient of 0.76, indicating a highly significant and strong correlation.

Authors: Catabona Zuzette Basa
Published: January 2025

The rapid growth of online education has necessitated an in-depth investigation into the factors influencing teaching effectiveness in online learning environments. This study aims to identify and examine the key factors contributing to the online teaching effectiveness of nurse instructors through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and develop a tool to measure the Online Teaching Effectiveness (OTE) of nursing instructors. Preliminary item statements were developed based on a thorough review of relevant literature, resulting in a 49-item scale. A multidisciplinary panel member then validated the content, reducing it to a 48-item Content Validated item statement. Pilot testing with 596 third-level students from the College of Nursing at NEUST led to a final set of 41 items. The EFA in this study was carried out using a single random subsample of 410 Level IV Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) student nurses from Higher Education Institutions across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao in the Philippines. All respondents were enrolled in the BSN program and participated in online education. This sample size adhered to the "10-times rule," ensuring at least ten observations per variable for the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). Using the five-step Exploratory Factor Analysis Protocol (preliminary analysis for evaluation of data suitability for EFA, factor extraction, factor retention, and factor rotation) determines the data suitability for Exploratory Factor Analysis. This process, employing Varimax and Kaiser Normalization, revealed a 3-factor structure: (1) Active Learning, (2) Instructor-Learner Connection, and (3) Modern Teaching, comprising 28-item statements. Together, these factors explained 75.221% of the variance. The 75.221% variance explained by the three factors is a relatively high value, suggesting that the model provides a good fit to the data. The findings can guide instructional practices by highlighting the importance of active learning, strong instructor-student relationships, and the use of modern teaching techniques. By understanding these factors, educators can make informed decisions to improve their instructional practices and enhance student success. While these findings shed light on online teaching effectiveness in nursing education, further psychometric validation is needed to refine the instrument. Future research should explore its applicability across different samples and disciplines to better evaluate online teaching quality.

Published: January 2025

Approximately 80% of stroke patients experience weakness/hemiparesis on one side of the body due to vascular abnormalities in certain hemispheres. If hemiparese is not treated immediately, it can cause permanent disability. Supporting examination that can be used to diagnose hemiparese is a non-contrast head CT scan. There are several ranges that can be applied to the examination. This affects the dose received by the patient. This study aims to compare the radiation dose (CTDIvol and DLP) in non-contrast head CT scan examination in hemiparese cases between the range from vertex to sinus maxillaris and the range from vertex to basic cranii. The research was conducted at KRT Setjonegoro Wonosobo Hospital in December 2023 using quantitative method. Data were obtained from a non-contrast head CT scan examination with hemiparese cases using the range vertex to sinus maxillary and range vertex to basic crani. Results: In the head CT Scan examination of hemiparese cases, the CTDIvol value for the range Vertex to sinus maxillaris and the range Vertex to basic cranii is 45.5 ± 12.6 mGy and 48.8 ± 14.6 mGy, while for the DLP for the range Vertex to sinus maxillaris is 609.8 ± 47.9 mGy.cm and for the range Vertex to basic cranii is 878.9 ± 42.1 mGy.cm. CTDIvol value is found to have no significant difference, but for the DPL value there is a significant difference in the non-contrast head CT scan examination without contrast with hemiparese cases The 2 CTDIvol and DLP values are still in accordance with the DRL recommendations recommended by Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency (BAPETEN).

Published: January 2025

A few people have gradually realized that the superposition effect of different planets in the solar system on Earth under high-speed motion and dynamic equilibrium can sometimes trigger extreme natural disasters. Due to the relatively regular changes in the relative positions of the Sun, Moon, and Earth, this study considers these three planets as independent systems. The orbits of other planets in the solar system have relatively complex changes in their positions relative to Earth, so they are considered as a whole. By constructing a dynamic quantification model based on proximity difference to eliminate the interference of internal variability of the Earth and extract the influence of different planetary orbit changes on the variation of atmospheric water vapor content, the analysis shows that Earth's rotation accounts for 4%, the Moon's revolution 10%, Earth's revolution 71%, and other planetary orbits 15% of the total impact of planetary orbital changes on atmospheric water vapor. Finally, an LSTM deep learning model was constructed to predict the changes in atmospheric water vapor content on Earth over the next decade, and the results showed that atmospheric water vapor will show a slow upward trend in the future. The research results not only provide a new perspective for understanding the mechanisms of climate change on Earth, but also provide valuable references for the study of climate evolution on other planets.
Occasion setting in humans: Norm or exception?
Authors: Lee Jessica C. , Chow Julie , Lovibond Peter
Published: January 2025

In this commentary, we propose that occasion setting in humans may be even more widespread than Leising and colleagues assume. In contrast to animal work, our research using the feature negative procedure (A+ AX-) reveals substantial individual differences in what people learn about the feature (X). We discuss findings showing that the majority of participants in our experiments learn something akin to occasion setting, and present reasons for why this may be the case. We conclude that occasion-setting may be the norm in humans because it allows existing learning to be preserved, and for the possibility that the effect of a cue is unique to its accompanying target.
Presidential Appointments, Sentencing Discretion, and Ethnoracial Disparities in U.S. Federal Courts
Authors: Topaz Chad M. , Durante Katherine , Thomas Christopher , Ciocanel Maria-Veronica , Stanley Zofia
Published: January 2025

Presidentially-appointed federal district court judges exercise broad discretion in determining criminal sentences, directly affecting individuals and communities in the United States. Against a backdrop of longstanding ethnoracial inequities in our courts, the judiciary’s practice of redacting judge names from public data obstructs analysis of individual judges and groups, leaving key questions about these inequities unanswered. To overcome this barrier, we reconstruct judge identifiers for over 137,000 federal sentences (2018–2023), creating the first dataset to include Trump appointees’ sentencing records. We use this data to examine the relationships between presidential appointment, defendant race/ethnicity, and judicial discretion. We find Trump appointees are the least likely to grant leniency across ethnoracial groups, and ethnoracial disparities vary substantially among presidential cohorts in ways that can transcend political party. These findings highlight the importance of transparency and reform to ensure equal justice.

Systematizing Source Management and Citation in Academic Writing Using EndNote: My Lived Experience
Authors: Sharma Uma N.
Published: January 2025

It is assumed that a reference management software, such as EndNote, systematizes the intricate process of source management and citation in academic writing by providing users with the ability to construct personalized digital libraries. This paper explores the validity of this postulation, specifically within the context of the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th style of citation, focusing on the EndNote software programme. Drawing on my firsthand experience with EndNote X9 and my responsibility for instructing master’s degree students, as well as MPhil and PhD scholars in the utilization of the software, I have reflected on the software’s remarkable features as the evidence of how the proper use of EndNote systematize citations in academic writing. Through practical examples, I have elucidated how EndNote facilitates the systematic citation of sources in academic writing. Based on the overall findings, it is evident that EndNote, when utilized to its full potential, effectively systematizes citations in academic writing. This enables researchers to redirect their focus to the core aspects of their work—conducting and disseminating research through report writing. In essence, EndNote becomes a tool that empowers researchers to concentrate on substantive contributions, emphasizing the significance of efficient source management in scholarly endeavors.

WIL, which involves integrating theoretical knowledge with practical experience in real-world settings, has gained prominence in teacher education as a means of enhancing student teachers' readiness for the profession This literature review synthesis investigates the effectiveness of WIL in developing economics education student teachers' pedagogical and subject matter expertise. The study followed the systematic literature review method PRISMA in selecting studies to be included and excluded in the synthesis of the study. The process commenced by identifying the problem and screening studies to include and exclude in the study. Only 14 studies conducted between 2020 and 2024 were screened for inclusion. The findings reveal that WIL significantly improves teaching confidence, classroom management, lesson planning and delivery, and assessment and feedback skills. The findings also revealed that WIL significantly enhances content knowledge, conceptual understanding, application and analysis, critical thinking and problem-solving. The study's findings have significant implications for teacher education policy and practice. However, the study is limited by potential interpretive bias, lack of methodological triangulation, and unexplored alternative explanations. Language restrictions, limited database access, and financial constraints further circumscribe its scope and depth. These limitations may have excluded relevant research or perspectives, impacting the study's reliability and validity. Educators, policymakers, and researchers must prioritize WIL's potential in developing pedagogical and subject matter expertise. Future research should investigate WIL's long-term impact on teacher development and student learning outcomes.

Authors: Borkar S. G.
Published: January 2025

In recent decades infectivity of viruses across the kingdoms of living beings viz. animals to humans, birds to humans, and plants to humans has raised questions on the host specificity of the viral pathogen within their kingdom. A plant virus particularly Pepper-mild mottle virus (PMMov) causes fever, abdominal pain, and pruritus in patients ingesting pepper infected with PMMoV. Certain plant viruses-infected fruits, vegetables, and food products that are ingested by humans, in the absence of the proper knowledge of plant viral infection, such plant viruses are detected in human cells and excretion. Not all such plant viral ingestion are researched for their effect on human health and for clinical symptoms. A Potyvirus (PRSV-P) infecting Papaya and Cucurbitaceae family plants and exhibiting typical symptoms of ring spots and blisters on the infected fruits are consumed and ingested by humans, however; their ingestion effect has not yet been studied and reported. The present case study was therefore undertaken to assess the effect of ingestion of PRSV-infected fruits on human health. It is observed that PRSV-P-infected papaya and bottle gourd were safe for human consumption without having any clinical symptoms on human health.

To understand many geophysical phenomena, including ocean circulation, tectonic plate movement, and the Earth’s interior, it is important to study the Earth’s gravity field. During the past three decades, satellites have measured the Earth’s static gravity. As a result, high-resolution global gravity field models have been available. This paper aims to examine the appropriateness of the satellite derived gravity field models for the offshore and coastal regions of Sri Lanka.While these eight gravity field models with ID 155-EIGEN-6S4 V2, 168-Tongji-Grace 02K, 171-GO-CONS-GCF2-TIM-R6, 174-ITSG-GRACE 2018S, 178-Tongji-GMMG2021S, 148-EIGN-6C4, 152-GECO, 167-SGG-UGM-1, and 177-SGG-UGM2 were used for the study. The mean difference value, standard deviation value, and Root Mean Square values modeled by each of the model between the observed gravity data and the BGI observed gravity data. The results indicated that 171-GO-CONS-GCF2-TIM-R6 and 177-SGG-UGM2 is the more suited model for the coastal and offshore region of Sri Lanka. The study used the SARAL-Altika satellite Altimetry data to investigate the relationship between Mean see surface height and observed gravity. No significant relationship between Mean sea surface height and marine gravity is indicated by. In addition, the influence of gravity model type on each of the LEO satellite orbit predictions was also studied. The findings of the research demonstrate that the optimal type of gravity model applied for LEO satellite orbit prediction depends on a short-term or long-term predictions. The models JGM3, EGM2008, and GL04C are more appropriate for short-term predictions, while the models JGM3, EGM96, and EIGEN2 are the best for long-term predictions. The gravity order and permanent tides also have to be taken into account for the orbital prediction.In conclusion, this research provides valuable insights into the suitability of various satellite-derived gravity field models for Sri Lanka's coastal and offshore regions. The findings also emphasize the need to consider the impact of gravity models on LEO satellite orbit prediction, particularly for new applications such as LEO navigation, which require real-time precise orbits.

It is well recognized that inherent stress concentration within a fault damage zone may lead to induced fault-slip, resulting in severe damage to underground facilities. Previous research suggests that the intensity of fault-slip is influenced not only by the mechanical properties of the fault core but also by the stiffness of the surrounding rock mass, implying that fracture stiffness could be an important factor that needs to be studied. Therefore, in this study, the effect of the fracture stiffness on seismic source parameters of induced fault-slip is investigated using a mine-wide scale heterogeneous continuum model. The model is constructed based on a discrete fracture network within a fault damage zone, utilizing the crack tensor theory and boundary traction method. The fault core is simulated as a discontinuous plane with interface elements at the center of the model, and fault-slip is induced by gradually reducing the effective normal stress on the fault plane. Seismic source parameters are computed and analyzed under various fracture stiffness conditions. Seismically radiated energy is defined as the work done by the stress perturbation across a closed surface at a distance from the earthquake source, while seismic moment is calculated using the moment tensor of a seismic source in an anisotropic medium. This study investigates increasing fracture stiffness while maintaining a normal-to-shear stiffness ratio of three. Dynamic analysis results reveal a notable impact of fracture stiffness on seismically radiated energy and seismic moment, both of which decrease significantly with increasing fracture stiffness. These findings imply the importance of considering fracture stiffness for more accurate estimation of seismically radiated energy and seismic moment.

The carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is considered as a promising technology for carbon dioxide emission reduction. High-purity CO2 mixture gas is separated from the flue gas and pumped into underground for a long-term storage. The impurities of gas can affect the trapping mechanisms. Various research studies about how impurity changes permeability were carried out. However, the effect of impurities in long-term trapping mechanisms is still unclear. This research studies the effects of H2S, SO2, and NO2 in CCS for a long-term period of 2000 years using a PHREEQC geochemical simulator. The simulation presents formation water and rock samples from the previous research and the mixture gas groups to emphasis the effect of each impurity. The simulation contains two parts: the equilibrium block and the kinetics block. The former is to simulate the reversible reaction between the pure phases and the aqueous phase, which is defined by the equilibrium constant and dependent on the temperature. The latter is to simulate how phases react by time defined by kinetics rate, which is defined by the Arrhenius equation and depends on the pH, temperature, surface area and other reaction condition constants. Firstly, the gas and formation water are input into the equilibrium block to get CO2 enriched solution and remaining gas components. Then, the remaining gas and solution and mineralogy are put into the kinetics block. Results indicate a shift from mineral trapping to solubility trapping in the presence of impurities, with a significant decrease in pH affecting CO2 storage ratios. Furthermore, the changes in each mineralogy and the effects of each impurity are discussed

This study investigates the fracture characteristics of rocks and rock-like materials subjected to the Nonex Rock Cracker (NRC), a vapor pressure crushing agent. The NRC generates vapor pressure by instantaneously vaporizing a crystallized water mixture through the thermite reaction. Both experimental methods, using high-speed cameras and dynamic pressure gauges on Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and granite blocks, and numerical simulations with a 3-D combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM) were utilized. Results indicate that gas pressure infiltrating pre-existing cracks primarily drives crack propagation. The study concludes that accurately modeling gas injection into initiated cracks during deflagration is essential for reasonable numerical simulations of rock fracturing processes using NRC.

Landslides are natural disaster, long-existing as one of the geotechnical threats in the central region of Sri Lanka. During the monsoon period of every year, number of human lives are lost due to the landslides. Therefore, early recognition of the potential areas and implementing landslide mitigative measure are essential to prevent the damages. Portland cement and chemical grouts are typically used to enable a protective cover over the slope surface. However, these approaches are recognized environmentally detrimental and expensive. The use of bio-grouting materials is a new proposal to stabilize the slope surface, disclosing the likelihood of eco-friendliness and sustainability. Among various bio-grouting techniques, microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) has gained much attention recently. MICP is a process that triggers the precipitation of calcium carbonate using the metabolic aid of ureolytic bacteria. This paper presents the initial works carried out to isolate and characterize urease-producing bacteria that are competent for the application of MICP-based stabilization of Sri Lanka's unstable slopes. Few landslide-prone areas were identified in Matale district (of Sri Lanka) with the support of National Building and Research Organization. From each location, soil samples were obtained in sterile centrifuge tubes and transported to the laboratory. After a series dilution, soil samples were plated on trypticase soy broth agar medium and incubated at room temperature for two days. Grown-colonies were then carefully separated on new agar plates. Initial screening of potential bacteria was carried out using phenol red pH indicator. The growth and urease activity of identified bacteria were then measured over time. A set of test tube precipitation tests was also performed to verify the applicability of the bacteria. The results indicated that most of the identified bacteria exhibited adequate growth and urease activity during the second and third days of the culturing. The test tube test revealed that the natively-isolated bacteria were highly potential to produce CaCO3, thus disclosed the potential for MICP application. Based on the preliminary results, laboratory-scale slope model tests and field-trails are to be performed in the subsequent phase of this work.
