Training older adults to inhibit the automatic attraction to sedentary stimuli: A cognitive-bias-modification protocol
Authors: Farajzadeh Ata , Goubran Miriam , Fessler Layan , Cheval Boris , Van Allen Zack , Boisgontier Matthieu P.
Published: December 2023

Background: To counteract the pandemic of physical inactivity, current interventions rely mainly on reflective processes that focus on increasing the motivation to be physically active. Yet, while these interventions successfully increase the intention to be active, their effect on actual behavior is weak. Recent findings in line with the theory of effort minimization in physical activity (TEMPA) suggest that this inability to turn the intention into action is explained by positive automatic reactions to stimuli associated with sedentary behaviors. These automatic reactions could be particularly strong in older adults, who are more likely to associate physical activity with fear, pain, or discomfort. Objective: The aim of this program is to test the effect of an intervention aiming to counteract their automatic attraction toward sedentary stimuli and to respond positively to physical-activity stimuli in older adults. Training older adults to inhibit the automatic attraction toward sedentary stimuli is hypothesized to increase physical activity, thereby contributing to improved physical functioning and quality of life. Methods: To test these hypotheses, older adults (≥ 60 years) will be enrolled in a controlled double-blinded study with 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up. Participants will be randomized (1:1 ratio) to receive a 12-session cognitive-bias modification training for 3-week based on a go / no-go task either in an experimental or a control condition (placebo). The primary outcome is the number of steps per week. Secondary outcomes include automatic approach-avoidance tendencies toward sedentary and physical activity stimuli, explicit affective attitudes toward physical activity, physical function, and quality of life. Discussion: The study is expected to inform public-health policies and improve interventions aiming to counteract the pandemic of physical inactivity.

The world of work or business has theological implications. For Christian business people, it is necessary to base their business activities on the word of God as a standard of faith and behavior so that they do not only pursue material gain but at the same time become witnesses of Christ. The purpose of this study was to find out how much influence Christian businessmen's understanding of Christian character has on employee performance, especially for those who are congregated at GBT Maranatha Bandung. The chosen research method is the quantitative-correlational method. The results of the study show that the influence of Christian businessmen's understanding of Christian character on the performance of employees who are congregated at GBT Maranatha Bandung is 0.446, which is in the medium category. Based on this, the understanding of Christian businessmen about Christian character must be continuously improved, so that employee performance can get better and can affect the results of a business. Christian business people must separate themselves from all business practices that are ethically unholy and fair by adopting Christian character as a Christian identity.

Authors: AKALIN Kadir Berkhan
Published: December 2023

The notable flexibility and relatively lower purchase and operational expenses of motorcycles, particularly when compared to automobiles, contribute significantly to their shares in traffic. However, the capacity to attain high speeds in the absence of a protective vehicle body raises safety concerns, necessitating an examination of the factors influencing motorcycle accidents. Understanding these factors is crucial for implementing precautions to mitigate the severity and frequency of accidents. In this study, we explore the relationships among carriageway hazards, weather and lighting conditions, seeking to understand their influence on the frequency of motorcycle accidents. The analysis is based on a dataset encompassing motorcycle accidents in Great Britain over the past five years. The study found that motorcycle accidents are more likely during daytime and fine weather conditions when a carriageway hazard is present, especially with objects on the road. The conclusion underscores the importance of clean and divided roads, monitoring parked vehicles, and adopting technology for hazard notification.

Authors: Eltantawy Mahmoud
Published: December 2023

The transition of students with intellectual disability to the post-school stage is considered of great importance to them as well as their families, and it needs some requirements to be carried out successfully. That is why the present study aims to recognize the extent of the availability of successful transition requirements to help these students transfer to the post-school stage based on the perspective of their teachers, as well as to identify the differences between these requirements according to the type of school where teachers work (public, private center), the gender of the students (males, females), and the severity of the disability (mild, moderate and severe). The study sample consists of 317 male and female teachers of students with intellectual disability in Egypt. To collect data, the study relies on a questionnaire of the requirements for transitioning students with intellectual disabilities to the post-school stage (prepared by the researcher). The study’s findings disclosed that the degree of availability of the requirements for transferring students with intellectual disabilities to the post-school stage showed an overall average degree of availability and that the degree of availability of conditions varied about the four subdimensions. The study recommended the necessity of conducting more study related to the transfer of students with intellectual disabilities, improving their transitional plans, developing legislations that guarantee their transfer, and paying attention to the professional development of teachers concerning the transfer of these students.

Published: December 2023

The paper examines the features of the biological purification process in the “aeration tank-mixer – secondary settling tank” system. Factors influencing the course of processes were determined, and an experimental study of this process was carried out. After processing the results, models are proposed that describe the course of the activated sludge regeneration process and directly the process of biological wastewater treatment.

The results of the calculation were analyzed, the mutual influence of individual factors on the course of the biological purification process was investigated and analyzed. The models obtained in the work allow, without conducting additional experiments, to study the process of regeneration of activated sludge depending on the concentration of sludge and its consumption, as well as to study the process of wastewater treatment taking into account its characteristics (costs, concentrations of pollutants), the dose of sludge coming from the regenerator, concentrations dissolved oxygen.

It is advisable to use the proposed models for the analysis of the process of biological wastewater treatment in the system “aeration tank-mixer – secondary settling tank” and for quick response to changes occurring in the treatment process. This will prevent insufficiently treated wastewater from entering the reservoir and reduce its negative impact on the environment.
INCREASING THE ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY LEVEL OF THE TERRITORY ADJACENT TO LOCATIONS OF LIQUID HYDROCARBON RESERVOIRS
Authors: Sierikova Olena
Published: December 2023

Accumulation of flammable and combustible liquids on a relatively small area of the tank park leads to an increased environmental and fire hazard of such productions. The possible leakage of dangerous liquid and depressurization of tanks negatively affects the state of the environment in the surrounding area. A fire in a tank is one of the most dangerous emergency situations that could lead not only to significant material and environmental damage, but also to human casualties. The situation is also complicated by the economically determined tendency to use larger tanks, which significantly increases the volume of flammable liquids per unit area. This, in turn, increases the risk of fire spreading to neighboring tanks in the absence of timely localization and elimination of the fire. It is urgent and necessary to improve the methods of researching the properties of the materials of liquid hydrocarbon tanks and to assess the effects of external factors of natural and technogenic origin on these environmentally dangerous objects. The method of determining the dynamic characteristics of shell structures made of steel and partially filled with liquid (petroleum products) has been developed in the paper. A numerical analysis of the dynamic characteristics for the model of tanks for the storage of liquid hydrocarbons has been carried out. The optimal parameters of shell structures to reduce their deformations during fluid oscillations (using the example of liquid hydrocarbons) have been determined. It has been proved that taking into account the elasticity of the tank walls leads to a significant decrease in the oscillation frequencies compared to the frequencies of unfilled shells, while the lowest frequencies of filled and unfilled shell structures can correspond to different wave numbers. Extending the service life of tanks, preserving their tightness and stability under various natural and technogenic influences, preventing leaks, spills and fire hazards is necessary to increase the level of environmental safety of the surrounding territories.
ANALYSIS OF EXISTING METHODS FOR IMPROVING THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CONDITIONS OF THE ION EXCHANGE PROCESS IN WATER TREATMENT
Authors: Kovtun David , Dushkin Stanislav
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the issues of existing processes for improving the physical and chemical conditions of the ion exchange process in water treatment. Patents and publications on the use of the ion exchange method in water treatment have been analysed. The expediency and scientific significance are determined by the possibility of further improving the efficiency of the ion exchange process in water treatment on the basis of the obtained results.

Existing methods, such as thermal and cryogenic treatment, membrane plants, distillation and reverse osmosis, have a number of disadvantages, such as high energy consumption of the process and the inability to be used on an industrial scale. A promising method to improve the efficiency of modified ion exchange resins is to use the effect of a magnetic field on the feed water with constant stirring.

The article analyses ion exchange resins and their problems, existing research aimed at modernising the ion exchange process, considers ways to optimise the selectivity of ion exchange resins, their modification with dendritic aggregates, and the use of mixed cationic and anionic ion exchange resins. Regeneration of ion-exchange resins using ammonium bicarbonate technology, reagent-free regeneration methods, such as electrodialysis, electrodionization systems, in order to reduce process waste, possible schemes of using ion-exchange plants in combination with other methods of water treatment.

The analysis shows the relevance of using the ion exchange process in water treatment and the prospect of further research on ways to intensify the process to reduce energy and economic resources.

The obtained results demonstrate the most advanced ways to improve the method of ion exchange for water treatment, such as reagentless regeneration of ionites using electrodialysis, modification of resins by introducing the necessary functional groups.
A Novel Image Segmentation Technique with N-L Means Filter Using Region Merging Strategy
Authors: H N Swaroopa , Jagadale Basavaraj N , N Salma
Published: December 2023

Image segmentation is a branch of digital image processing which emphases on splitting an image into different fragments according to their features. This work proposes a novel image segmentation technique using fast non local (N-L) means filter with region merging approach. Here, a random noise is added to the original image and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is applied to separate the low and high frequency bands of the digital image. The low frequency component is subjected to a fast N-L means filter and the filtered image is segmented by graph-based segmentation technique. Here, these segmented image regions are merged to reduce the over segmentation patterns. The detailed coefficients of the image component are treated with soft threshold filter to reduce the residual noise. Finally merged image is combined with preserved edge features at wavelet projection resulting in better segmented image. The results are compared with some of the best methods available in literature and are found to be significantly better.

Keywords: Discrete wavelet transform (DWT), fast NL-means filter, graph-based segmentation, boundary based hierarchical region merging, soft-thresholding, peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR).

Authors: V. Sayson, RN, MPA James Dominic
Published: December 2023

This narrative review examines the importance of social and emotional learning (SEL) competencies and emotional intelligence (EI) among nurses and nursing students, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Emotional intelligence and Socio-Emotional Learning are interconnected concepts encompassing the effective perception, understanding, management, and utilization of emotions. EI encompasses skills such as self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and interpersonal effectiveness, while SEL is an educational framework designed to cultivate specific social and emotional skills in students. SEL programs aim to foster competencies such as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Within the healthcare environment, the proficiency of nurses and nursing students in EI not only impacts their personal well-being but also exerts a substantial influence on patient outcomes and the overall quality of care. The integration of SEL into the training of healthcare professionals holds the potential to augment their capacity to establish positive patient relationships, effectively manage stress, and deliver compassionate care. This study seeks to describe the influence of SEL competencies and emotional intelligence on students and nurses during and after the COVID-19 crisis. Recognizing the important nature of incorporating SEL competencies and emotional intelligence into the education and practice of nurses and nursing students is crucial for fostering psychological resilience, nurturing positive relationships, and ensuring the provision of high-quality care, particularly amidst unprecedented challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Authors: Suni Muhammad Adam , Muis Hasriani
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to increase, transmission, spread, and death rates are increasing, resulting in the implementation of large-scale social restrictions on community activities in Indonesia. This high rate of transmission can be caused by poor public behavior towards prevention programs that have been announced by the Government. In order to increase public knowledge in prevention and communication and minimize the spread of COVID-19, socialization and outreach media are needed that can encourage more effective delivery and dissemination of information. Technological developments encourage the delivery of information to become more interactive. One use of technology is delivering information with spatial integration through ArcGIS Story Maps. Story Maps can be handy for spreading knowledge on several topics, focusing on where the story occurs. In this paper, we explore the opportunities offered by Story Maps to implement Story Maps as an outreach media and a solution for socializing and disseminating information during the pandemic. Specifically, we refer to a series of different applications offered by Esri for building Story Maps based on different approaches and techniques. The results of using Story Maps are in the form of presenting information, information media, and counseling in the form of an interactive map which contains a general description of COVID-19, case conditions, level of spread, and how to handle it and related regulations through the Story Maps feature. This story map involves geospatial elements, web GIS, text, images, and video so that it can be an alternative solution for related parties in socializing and disseminating information during the pandemic

Additionally, the article aims to explore various positive and negative impacts. Therefore, we hope this article can foster a critical attitude towards this issue.

John Dewey created a philosophical approach to education known as progressivism. Progressivism is an educational philosophy that wants student freedom and independence in the learning process. This philosophical also emphasizes a process of change which is marked by progress of teacher and student creativity. In Indonesia today, the application of the concept of independent learning has led to the development of students according to their interests and talents through differentiated learning, which of course is in accordance with the philosophy of progressivism. Progressivism requires student-centered learning to support progress, providing opportunities for students to become skilled and have the knowledge needed to be equipped to face educational progress according to the times.

Naturalistic philosophy is an approach in philosophy that emphasizes observation and understanding of natural phenomena and human life through a scientific lens. This research aims to explore the importance of learning naturalistic philosophy in the context of the development of knowledge and human understanding of the surrounding world. Learning naturalistic philosophy opens the door to a broad understanding of the interconnectedness between humans and nature. By grasping the basic principles of naturalism, individuals can develop an awareness of the natural processes that shape their existence. This provides a strong foundation for understanding science and technology, as well as strengthening analytical skills and problem-solving abilities. The existence of naturalistic philosophy also supports the concepts of sustainability and environmental preservation. Through a profound understanding of human interaction with nature, individuals can develop a responsible attitude toward the environment and contribute to the conservation of natural resources. The importance of learning naturalistic philosophy is also reflected in its ability to stimulate curiosity and creativity. By engaging in philosophical thinking related to naturalism, one can develop a critical perspective on complex issues and formulate innovative solutions. This journal employs literature analysis and exploration of key concepts in naturalistic philosophy. The results indicate that learning naturalistic philosophy not only provides profound insights into nature and life but also shapes individuals who think analytically, are environmentally responsible, and are creative in addressing contemporary challenges. Therefore, the integration of naturalistic philosophy into education is a crucial step forward.
