Relationship Between Parenting Styles and Romantic Attachment in Adults with Gender as a Moderating Variable
Authors: SHANOORA DR. AISHATH , SAUD UNAISA
Published: November 2024

Attachment is an intrinsic relational mechanism that influences individuals' perceptions, behaviours, and relationships. Extensive research has consistently linked parenting styles to attachment patterns in adulthood. This study aimed to examine the relationship between parenting styles and romantic attachment in adults and whether gender served as a moderating variable. A total of 146 students (128 females, 18 males) from Maldives National University, aged 18 to 49, who were either married or in a dating relationship completed an online survey assessing parenting styles using the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) and romantic attachment styles using the Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) Scale. Results of correlational analyses revealed that perceived authoritarian parenting had a positive association with attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance, suggesting an insecure attachment pattern. Permissive and authoritative parenting styles negatively correlated with these attachment dimensions, reflecting a secure romantic attachment. Contrary to expectations, gender did not moderate these relationships. The study's limitations include a gender imbalance and a focus on perceived maternal parenting styles only. The results have practical implications for therapeutic interventions, parenting practices, and educational programs aimed at fostering secure attachments. Additionally, they highlight the need for future research to explore other moderating variables and longitudinal effects of parenting on attachment across diverse cultural contexts.

Published: November 2024

Gene microarray classification is yet a difficult task because of the bigness of the data and limited number of samples available. Thus, the need for efficient selection of a subset of genes is necessary to cut down on computation costs and improve classification performance. Consistently, this study employs the Correlation-based Feature Selection (CFS) algorithm to identify a subset of informative genes, thereby decreasing data dimensions and isolating discriminative features. Thereafter, three classifiers, Decision Table, JRip and OneR were used to assess the classification performance. The strategy was implemented on eleven microarray samples such that the reduced samples were compared with the complete gene set results. The observed results lead to a conclusion that CFS efficiently eliminates irrelevant, redundant, and noisy features as well. This method showed great prediction opportunities and relevant gene differentiation for datasets. JRip performed best among the Decision Table and OneR by average accuracy in all mentioned datasets. However, this approach has many advantages and enhances the classification of several classes with large numbers of genes and high time complexity.

Published: November 2024

Parallel programs that require sizeable computational electricity increasingly depend on grid computing structures. Efficient, helpful resource discovery algorithms are critical for optimizing resource allocation and minimizing execution time in these environments. This look presents a unique hierarchical and weighted resource discovery algorithm designed to decorate resource distribution while decreasing communique costs among grid nodes. A behavioural modelling technique systematically establishes the weighted resource discovery algorithm's accuracy and effectiveness. The behavioural model is carried out using StarUML. At the same time, the NuSMV version checker is hired to verify essential residences along with reachability, equity, and impasse-free operation of the resource discovery procedure. Critical overall performance metrics, including the quantity of inspected nodes consistent with request and the frequency of re-discovery operations, are used to evaluate the rules' efficiency and flexibility.
The weighted resource discovery algorithm also evaluates the efficiency of finding loose resources with high-bandwidth connections, optimizing overall grid resource allocation. In addition to enhancing resource localization, the observation introduces resource facts tables, which store information crucial for powerful, proper resource allocation. This study aims to develop grid computing competencies by addressing resource discovery challenges. The hierarchical shape and weighted valid resource selection decorate valid resource inspection, adaptability, and high-bandwidth utilization. Behavioural modelling and formal verification verify the algorithm's accuracy and applicability in grid environments. By using weighted resource discovery and resource information tables, this study drastically improves resource discovery's performance and effectiveness in grid computing, optimizing overall performance and proper resource allocation.

Published: November 2024

Konsep keluarga dalam era modern mengalami tantangan besar akibat dinamika sosial, ekonomi, dan budaya yang terus berubah. Artikel ini membahas perbandingan pemikiran Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi dan Emile Durkheim mengenai keluarga. Al-Faruqi, seorang intelektual Muslim, melihat keluarga sebagai unit teologis yang berfungsi untuk menanamkan nilai-nilai tauhid, keimanan, dan moralitas dalam masyarakat Islam. Sebaliknya, Durkheim, sosiolog fungsionalis, menempatkan keluarga sebagai institusi sosial yang menjaga kohesi sosial dan mengatur perilaku individu melalui norma dan nilai kolektif. Studi ini menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan dengan pendekatan filosofis dan komparatif. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa kedua tokoh memiliki pandangan yang berbeda terkait struktur keluarga, peran gender, dan fungsi utama keluarga, meskipun keduanya sepakat tentang pentingnya keluarga dalam membangun masyarakat yang harmonis. Artikel ini memberikan wawasan tentang bagaimana agama dan sekularisme membentuk konsep keluarga, serta relevansinya di era globalisasi yang penuh tantangan. Dengan memahami kedua perspektif ini, diharapkan dapat diidentifikasi strategi untuk memperkuat institusi keluarga sebagai pilar utama kehidupan sosial.

Eggs are a staple food, with chicken eggs being the most common choice. However, duck eggs are gaining popularity due to their nutritional value. Ducks, a local poultry breed, are seeing increased interest, leading to a growth in the national duck population. Duck eggs themselves are one source of animal protein that is rich in nutrients and easily digested. Duck eggs have a very high protein content, which is 13.1 grams per 100 grams. The purpose of building a decision support system for duck egg selection is to help people choose quality duck eggs for consumption. Data collection techniques in this study use literature studies and include direct calculations and using MATLAB software to develop a Fuzzy logic system in determining the feasibility of duck egg quality. The results showed that in the example case for a duck egg that weighs 5.5 grams and then the thickness of the shell is 7.5 mm and the viscosity of the egg contents is given a number of 7, then the egg is still said to be suitable for consumption. This contributes to improving food quality in Indonesia by classifying the feasibility of eggs for public consumption.

Advancements in thermal barrier coatings for internal combustion (IC) engines
Authors: Canute Sherwin  , K Raju
Published: November 2024

Pistons of diesel engines are made of aluminum alloys. There has always been a need to increase the thermal efficiency of engines that use these pistons. Aluminum Alloy pistons find their application because they are lightweight and have a comparatively good heat transfer ability and strength-to-weight ratio. However, aluminum alloys exhibit an increased coefficient of thermal expansion, low durability at high temperatures, increased wear rates, and formation of aluminum oxide due to interaction with oxygen in air at high temperatures. These challenges are solved by coating a ceramic material onto the piston, known as the thermal barrier coating (TBC), due to its low specific heat and heat transfer properties. TBCs play an important role in improving the effectiveness of elevated temperatures in industrial applications like gas turbines, automobiles, and aeronautical systems. TBCs tend to quickly reduce the upper surface temperature of the piston crown. This paper highlights the prominent methods of producing thermal barrier coatings including Diffusion coating, thermal spray technique, Electric Arc Wire Spray Technique, PVD, CVD, Electrodeposition, and Additive Manufacturing Method. The crucial discussion is on the materials and emerging trends in developing an efficient thermal protection system. Additionally, the review throws light on employing novel materials like advanced ceramics, alloys, and nanocomposites for their impact as TBCs. The paper also focuses on prospects and current challenges in the research and development of TBCs. Factors such as thermal conductivity, environmental stability and manufacturing processes are evaluated to meet the demands of high-temperature internal combustion (IC) engine application. Finally, this brief review combines the existing information on TBCs for engineers, practitioners and scientists to understand the present practices and contribute to the improvement in thermal protection technologies in IC engines.

Authors: KEDDAM Mourad , NAIT ABDELLAH Zahra
Published: November 2024

This work aimed to model the growth kinetics of Fe2B layers on the DIN 1.2738 steel by using a novel kinetic approach. The proposed model considered the transient diffusion regime of boron atoms through the surface of treated steel. The distribution of boron atoms across the Fe2B layer was expressed as a Taylor expansion of second order.
Afterward, the boron activation energy in the Fe2B layers was assessed as equal to 214.48 kJmol-1 in the temperature range 1123-1223 K using the experimental results taken from the literature. Finally, the present model has been validated experimentally by using additional boriding conditions (1198 K for 4.5 h). The experimental Fe2B layer thickness obtained at 1198 K for 4.5 h aligned with the predicted value provided by the model. Furthermore, the mass gain per unit area resulting from the formation of Fe2B layer was also calculated as a function of processing parameters.

Polypharmacy, defined as the concurrent use of five or more medications, is a significant challenge in modern healthcare. It affects 10-20% of community-dwelling adults and 40-50% of people aged 65 years and older. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of the impact of integrated healthcare teams comprising pharmacists, nurses, radiologists, and dietitians on polypharmacy patient outcomes. The results indicated significant improvements across multiple domains: medication appropriateness scores increased by 65%, adverse drug events decreased by 45%, and hospital readmission rates decreased by 40%. Each professional contributed something unique: pharmacists reduced inappropriate medications through comprehensive medication reviews by 65%; hospital readmissions were reduced by nurses, who applied quality-enhanced care coordination for the best interest of the patient by 35%; radiologists increased treatment accuracy by 40%, providing advanced diagnostic support; and dietitians decreased drug-nutrient interaction complications by 55%. Economic analysis revealed substantial cost savings of approximately $2,500 per patient annually, and a 35% reduction in emergency department utilization.

This article presents a systematic review that examines the relationship between public investment and its incidence on poverty at the international and national level, (Peru), specifically in the El Carmen de la Frontera district, Huancabamba. The PRISMA method was used and an exhaustive analysis of various academic sources such as Scopus, SciELO, Redalyc, Dialnet, Erih Plus, Latindex and the César Vallejo University was carried out, in which it was identified that public investment, especially in sectors such as health, education and infrastructure, has a positive impact on poverty reduction and economic development. However, despite increases in public spending, the results show that poverty rates have not decreased uniformly, highlighting the need to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of investments. The review also highlights socioeconomic factors that moderate this relationship and shows regional disparities in the impact of public investment. It is concluded that adequate management and strategic planning are essential to maximize the benefits of public investment and contribute to sustainable human development.

The utilization of gamification-based digital platforms has been demonstrated to significantly contribute to the optimization of the learning process, fostering robust motivations and a sustained inclination to engage in further learning. Ambition, as a variable, is of significant importance for learners in maintaining their engagement with the educational process during periods of emergency. Nevertheless, despite the significance of this topic, there is a notable scarcity of qualitative studies that have investigated the relationship between gamification-based platforms and ambition. Given the frequency of educational emergencies, it is imperative that scholarly research is conducted to determine how gamification-based platforms can be utilized to promote ambition. This is consistent with the widespread use of gamification as the primary tool for learning in both normal and emergency situations. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a phenomenological methodology to conduct a series of in-depth semi-structured interviews with twelve faculty members who are recognized as experts in the field of gamification and digital platforms. The results identified the most important roles of gamification-based platforms in enhancing ambition, which were represented in four main roles: motivation, planning and goal setting, monitoring, and social interactions. Collectively, these roles enhance ambition. The research recommended that gamification incentives such as points, badges, and chest plates should be employed to enhance users' desire to learn during any educational emergency.

The accessibility and retrieval of digital images via search engines on mobile devices have increasingly gained momentum among learners, attributed to the presence of various user-friendly search options. Several strategies do exist for the retrieval of digital images through search engines. The initial approach is Text Based Image Retrieval (TBIR), while the alternative is Graphical Based Image Retrieval (GBIR). Research examining the effects of different retrieval styles on learning outcomes within educational settings is notably limited. This study seeks to identify the most effective retrieval technique for improving self-regulated learning (SRL) skills in middle school students. The study employed a quasi-experimental design to evaluate the two research groups, with the first experimental group utilising TBIR and the second experimental group utilising GBIR. The sample for this study comprised 60 middle school students, who were assigned at random to the two distinct groups for analysis. A scale for the detection of self-regulated learning has been developed in the present study, comprising 30 items. The findings indicated that the experimental group utilising GBIR demonstrated a higher level of self-regulated learning compared to the TBIR group. Expanding guidance for learners in utilising GBIR for accessing digital images is essential.

Traffic Density Road Gradient and Grid Composition Effects on Electric Vehicle Energy Consumption and Emissions
Authors: Zhiyun Li
Published: November 2024

Electric vehicles (EVs) have demonstrated significant potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but their energy consumption and emissions are strongly influenced by external factors such as traffic density, road gradients, and energy grid composition. This study integrates real-world data, physical simulations, and machine learning models to analyze these interactions. Results show that traffic density exceeding 400 vehicles/km² leads to a sharp increase in emissions, reaching over 150g CO₂/km in urban areas. Urban driving conditions also exhibit high energy consumption at 0.22 kWh/km, compared to 0.15 kWh/km in highway scenarios. Steep road gradients (>15°) significantly increase energy consumption, doubling values compared to flat conditions, and raise emissions by 40% in high traffic density environments. Renewable-dominant grids, as seen in Shenzhen (75% renewable energy), reduce emissions by up to 30% compared to fossil fuel-reliant grids. Advanced machine learning models, including Deep Neural Networks (DNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), provide accurate predictions for energy consumption and emissions, with the LSTM model reducing errors by 9.5% in dynamic scenarios. Real-time optimization strategies based on these models can achieve energy savings of up to 12% under mixed driving conditions. The findings highlight the critical role of traffic flow management, renewable energy grid expansion, and EV design improvements such as lightweight structures and regenerative braking systems for steep gradients. This research contributes actionable insights to enhance EV efficiency and reduce emissions, supporting sustainable transportation and urban development.
