Disproportionate Impact of Climate Change: Housing Crisis and Displacement among the Transgender Community in India
Authors: Chacko Diya Mariam , Chakraborty Rituparna
Published: April 2024

India is a nation that is threatened by climate change. Climate change and the housing crisis are inextricably linked, they are associated with exacerbated mental and physical health conditions. It often affects individuals differently based on various factors shaped by social norms. So, marginalized sections like transgender persons are disproportionately affected. Individuals with inadequate housing are significantly affected by natural disasters. However, most transgender individuals cannot rent due to a lack of documents and unemployment. Thus, housing is an essential social determinant of physical and mental health. The book chapter discusses the various intersecting identities and the geographical and ecological contexts. The current revised climate laws in India have emphasized incorporating gender but there is a need to focus on gender beyond the binary to formulate more sensitive and equitable methods to address climate change. It also discusses the psycho-social impact on the community and the unique challenges they face as extreme weather events increase.

Authors: Dyadenchuk Alena
Published: April 2024

This work is focused on the study of photosensitive structures based on porous Si and film TiO2, which are promising for solar energy. For numerical simulation of the transportation and accumulation of charge carriers in the considered heterostructure, the drift-diffusion approximation of the semiclassical approach was proposed. A device scheme of a solar cell model based on TiO2/porous-Si/Si heterostructures is proposed. Production of photoconverters of solar cells based on the TiO2/porous-Si/Si heterostructure can be carried out according to the standard method supplemented by additional technological operations. Ohmic contacts are formed in the upper and lower parts of the structure above the TiO2 and Si layers. The strip system of contacts is a contact grid, with hatching, the surface coefficient should not exceed 5%. The thickness of the applied layer of photoresist should be 1 μm. Using the PC1D program, the light characteristics of the fabricated structure were calculated (open circuit voltage VOC, short circuit current ISC, fill factor FF and efficiency η), and current-voltage characteristics were plotted. The influence of the thickness and doping level Nd and Na of porous Si and TiO2 layers on the productivity of a heterojunction solar cell TiO2/porous-Si/Si was studied in order to obtain a device with a good conversion efficiency. It was found that the energy conversion efficiency of a TiO2/porous-Si/Si solar cell can reach 22.5 %. Based on the optimized simulation conditions, it was found that the maximum solar cell efficiency is achieved at thicknesses of 100 and 200 nm and donor concentration of Nd=1∙1017 cm-3 and acceptor concentration of Na=1∙1018 cm-3 for TiO2 and porous Si buffer layer, accordingly.
A Mathematical Model to Analyze the Impact of Using Solar Energy Instead of Fossil Fuel in Reducing Global Warming
Authors: Reza D.S.A. Aashiqur , Nazib Kazi , Afrin Sadia , Islam Md. , Biswas Md. Haider Ali
Published: April 2024

The importance of fossil fuel in our day-to-day life cannot be described in words. Worldwide fossil fuel usage amounted to around 128,550 terawatts per hour. Keeping all the necessity of fossil fuel in our daily life, we cannot deny the fact that the vast usage of fossil fuel is one of the most vital reasons behind global warming and climate change. Many reports claim that the global temperature has increased by 1°C dues to excessive usage of fossil fuels. Moreover, the resources of fossil fuel are limited and humanity may run out of these limited resources in the future. In order to reduce global warming, in this study, we are proposing to increase the usage of solar energy instead of fossil fuel using mathematical modeling techniques. We have formulated a three-compartmental model with the compartments Global Temperature, Fossil Fuel Consumption and Solar Energy Consumption with interactions between the compartments. We have conducted both qualitative and numerical analysis of the model. The qualitative analysis includes the study of equilibrium, stability, nature of the stability at the equilibrium points. From the results of the numerical analysis, we can conclude that increasing the usage of solar systems can effectively reduce global warming. In countries like Bangladesh, the vast implementation of solar energy can be more effective than in other countries as the average temperature remains quite higher than in other countries, also for the availability of enough sunlight.

Published: April 2024

A healthy life is a wealthy life. To be healthy, everyone has to understand the basic health information that is needed to make appropriate health decisions, which can aid them in avoiding illness and safeguarding their health. In this context, the necessity of health literacy which is a type of information literacy is being considered. Health literacy is the understanding and use of health information effectively to make appropriate decision making. The study aimed to evaluate the health literacy level of undergraduates of Eastern University, Sri Lanka, and the factors influencing health literacy. A cross-sectional study was carried out among undergraduates in selected faculties of Eastern University, Sri Lanka. A validated standard questionnaire called “Health Literacy Instrument for Adults (HELIA)” was adopted to collect online data from 1085 individuals. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression. The results revealed that the mean score of overall health literacy is 65.7±13.5% which ranges between somewhat inadequate to sufficient ranks. The analysis considered the five domains of health literacy. Accordingly, a significant proportion (p<0.05) of undergraduates had adequate literacy skills for understanding health information (67.4%), and access to health information (73.7%), while the majority had a limited level of literacy for domains of reading (53.7%) and appraisal (84.1%). However, there is no significant deviation (p>0.05) between adequate and limited levels in the domain of decision-making/behavioural intention. The difference between the proportion of adequate (50.8%) and limited levels (49.2%) in overall literacy is not significant (p>0.05). The binary logistic regression proved that the health literacy of undergraduates is influenced by faculty, alcoholic habits and doctor’s advice (p<0.05), while age, gender, family income, family members who work in the healthcare field, academic year, respondents' perceptions of their health, and smoking habits, do not influence on health literacy.

Authors: Silva M. A. L. , Ramanan T. , Kuruppu D. C.
Published: April 2024

Library websites being the virtual or digital facet of any library it is paramount to constantly evaluate and enhance the interface with necessary resources and services. In this regard, this study was carried out to analyze a range of opinions and feedbacks from stakeholders of a university library, which has published the links to subscribed databases, training guides, reference services, and research support services on its website. Due to the restrictions on mobility by economic crisis and Corona pandemic, library users heavily relied on digital interfaces to share and retrieve information. In this regard, a survey was carried out to explore the demand and desire of the library users as whether the library website satisfies them or does it need redesigning. Convenient sampling technique was employed where hundred and fifteen (115) users had responded to semi-structured questionnaires. Data extracted were analyzed using the Pearson Chi-square test, one-way ANOVA, and one sample Wilcoxon sign rank test. Majority (33.3%) of the students of the Faculty of Science were using the library website more frequently than the students of other faculties. Responses showed that the Training Guides (Mean=4.00; SD = ±0.926) and past-paper portals (Mean=3.96; SD = ±0.989) accessed via the library website were useful. The chi-square test revealed a significant relationship of faculties with article requests (p=0.037) and adequacy of website information for academic work (p=0.036). Similarly, the level of students has a significant relationship with Selective Dissemination of Information (p=0.048); usefulness of the training guides (p=0.022); adequate research support (p=0.026); and effective organization of information (p=0.003). Overall responses revealed that the Library website is highly user-friendly (Mean=3.90; SD = ±0.909). One-way ANOVA revealed a significant relationship between the resourcefulness of the website and the respondents’ overall satisfaction with the information received from the library website (p=0.021). These results evinced that the library website must comply with users’ expectations and needs. Students’ opinions and feedback emphasized on the need for updating the website through a benchmark of other library interfaces. FAQ section and Chat bot were a few suggestions made by the users.
Contextualism Versus Positivism in Cross-Cultural Psychology
Authors: Ratner Carl
Published: April 2024

Theories have the power to shape our conceptualization of psychological issues. Very general, abstract theories of ontology and epistemology have very specific and practical effects on cross-cultural psychological research. They shape our general understanding of culture, the interrelation between culture and psychology, and methodological principles of empirical research. Because theories are so powerful, it is vital that we examine them. Limitations in theory will lead to limited conclusions. I will contrast two theories: contextualism and positivism. I argue that the ontological principles of contextualism are more helpful than positivism for conceptualizing what culture is and the relation between culture and psychology than positivism is. Moreover, the ontological principles of contextualism lead to epistemological principles and research methodology that are more suitable for researching cultural psychology than positivistic methodology is. Contextualism is thus more valuable for understanding “indigenous psychology” than positivism is.
Survival and outcomes of isolated neonatal ventricular septal defects: A population-based study from a middle-income country
Authors: Bah Mohd Nizam Mat , Sapian Mohd Hanafi , Anuar Mohd Hazman Mohd , Alias Emieliyuza Yusnita
Published: April 2024

Background and Aims:

Limited data on the survival and outcomes of ventricular septal defect (VSD) in middle-income countries are available. Hence, this study aims to determine the survival and factors associated with mortality among neonatal VSD.

Materials and Methods:

This is a retrospective, population based study of neonates with isolated VSD born between 2009 and 2019. Kaplan–Meier analysis was used to estimate the overall survival. Cox regression analysis was used to determine factors associated with mortality.

Results:

There were 726 patients studied, with 82 (11%) of them having trisomy 21. The median age of diagnosis and follow-up was 5 days (interquartile range [IQR]: 2–10 days) and 2.3 years (IQR: 0.6–4.8 years), respectively. Of 726, 399 (55%) were perimembranous, 218 (30%) muscular, and 109 (15%) outlet VSD. VSD was small in 309 (42%), moderate in 337 (46%), and large in 80 (11%). Of 726 patients, 189 (26%) had congestive heart failure (CHF) and 52 (7.2%) developed pulmonary hypertension (PHT). Interestingly, one-third of CHF and PHT resolved over time during follow-up. Only 1 (0.1%) patient had infective endocarditis, 38 (5.2%) developed aortic regurgitation, and none had Eisenmenger syndrome. Overall, 149 (20%) needed surgery, 399 (55%) spontaneously closed, and 178 (25%) remained small. The mortality rate was 3.9% (28), 16 (57%) preoperatively, and 11 (39%) due to pneumonia. Trisomy 21, PHT, and birth weight <2.5 kg were independent factors for mortality with an adjusted hazard ratio of 6.0 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.1–16.9), 3.2 (95% CI: 1.2–8.4), and 3.6 (95% CI: 1.7–7.8), respectively. The overall survival at 1, 5, and 10 years was 96% (95% CI: 95–98), 95% (95% CI: 94–97), and 95% (95% CI: 94–97), respectively.

Conclusions:

Despite limited pediatric and congenital cardiac services in middle-income countries, the overall survival of neonatal VSD is good, with poor outcomes in small infants, PHT, and trisomy 21.
Clinical parameters to predict adverse outcomes in patients with shunt-dependent physiology with a Blalock–Taussig–Thomas shunt
Authors: Shah Saloni P. , Loomba Rohit S.
Published: April 2024

In patients with shunt-dependent physiology, early risk factor identification can facilitate the prevention of adverse outcomes. This study aims to determine a scoring system to estimate the risk for adverse outcomes after Blalock–Taussig–Thomas shunt placement. Of the 39 neonates with Blalock–Taussig–Thomas shunt placement, 10 experienced the composite outcome. The resulting risk score from clinical and hemodynamic variables attributed 1 point for each of the following: central venous pressure >7.8, serum lactate >1.8 mmol/L, renal oxygen extraction ratio >32, and vasoactive-inotrope score >8.7. A score of 0 was associated with a 0% risk of the composite outcome, a score of 1 or 2 with a 15% risk, and a score of 3 or 4 with a 60% risk. A combination of increased central venous pressure, increased serum lactate, increased renal oxygen extraction ratio, and increased vasoactive-inotrope score are highly accurately associated with the risk of cardiopulmonary arrest, need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or inpatient mortality after a Blalock–Taussig–Thomas shunt in patients with shunt-dependent physiology.

Authors: Ganbat Khongorzul , Nasan Ulzii Bayarmaa , Shin Sangah
Published: April 2024

OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the potential correlation between 4 plant-based diet indices and the predicted risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in Korean men using the Framingham Risk Score.METHODS: The study included 12,356 men participants (aged ≥40 years) from the Health Examinees Study. Dietary intake was estimated using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Four plant-based diet indices were measured, including the overall plant-based diet index, the healthy plant-based diet index (hPDI), the unhealthy plant-based diet index (uPDI), and the pro-vegetarian diet index. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the predicted 10-year risk of CHD.RESULTS: The study found that individuals in the highest hPDI quintile had a 19% lower risk score for CHD based on the Framingham Risk Score (model 3: HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.69 to 0.93; p for trend=0.010). In stratified analyses, the highest pro-vegetarian diet index was associated with a lower risk score for CHD in physically active individuals (HR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.59 to 0.93; p for interaction=0.020). Conversely, the highest uPDI was associated with the highest risk score for CHD in those with a body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2 and a waist circumference ≥90 cm.CONCLUSIONS: This prospective cohort study highlights the positive role of adhering to a high hPDI diet in the prevention of CHD in Korean men. Further prospective studies are needed to determine the association between various plant-based diet indices and the risk of CHD in Asian populations with different dietary habits.
Small dataset augmentation with radial basis function approximation for causal discovery using constraint‐based method
Authors: Jung Chan Young , Jang Yun
Published: April 2024

Causal analysis involves analysis and discovery. We consider causal discovery, which implies learning and discovering causal structures from available data, owing to the significance of interpreting causal relationships in various fields. Research on causal discovery has been primarily focused on constraint‐ and score‐based interpretable methods rather than on methods based on complex deep learning models. However, identifying causal relationships in real‐world datasets remains challenging. Numerous studies have been conducted using small datasets with established ground truths. Moreover, constraint‐based methods are based on conditional independence tests. However, such tests have a lower statistical power when applied to small datasets. To solve the small sample size problem, we propose a model that generates a continuous function from available samples using radial basis function approximation. We address the problem by extracting data from the generated continuous function and evaluate the proposed method on both real and synthetic datasets generated by structural equation modeling. The proposed method outperforms constraint‐based methods using only small datasets.

Published: April 2024

The emergence of ChatGPT, an AI-powered language model, has sparked numerous debates and discussions. In educational research, scholars have raised significant questions regarding the potential, limitations, and ethical concerns around the use of this technology. While research on the application and implications of ChatGPT in academic settings exists, analysis of the perspectives of high-school students are limited. In this study, we use qualitative content analysis to explore the perspectives of high-school students regarding the integration or ban of ChatGPT in their schools through the lens of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM2). Data was sourced from students’ comments to a New York Times Learning Network article. Findings revealed that students' perceptions about integrating or banning ChatGPT in schools are influenced by their assessments of the technology’s usefulness, personal experiences, societal technology trends, and ethical considerations. Our findings suggest that student perspectives in this study align with those of educators and policymakers while also possessing unique perspectives that cater to their specific needs and experiences. Implications emphasize the significance of an inclusive decision-making process around the integration of AI schools in educational contexts, including students alongside other stakeholders.

Authors: Rubio García Gonzalo
Published: April 2024

El panorama político e intelectual en Argentina hacia la década de 1930 se presentaba intrincado para establecer sectores claramente definidos, en especial tras el crecimiento del fascismo y el nazismo. En este trabajo realizaremos un análisis sobre las posiciones de la época a partir de distintos autores nacionalistas, como Manuel Gálvez y los hermanos Julio y Rodolfo Irazusta, pero haciendo especial hincapié en la agrupación FORJA, ya que produjeron una interesante cantidad de textos, afiches y discursos en los que volcaron diferentes interpretaciones en relación a los sucesos europeos que acontecieron como antesala de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Sin utilizar las usuales clasificaciones con las que se ha estudiado a los nacionalistas, buscaremos mostrar el derrotero seguido por los intelectuales mencionados, analizando los sectores en pugna y sus posicionamientos políticos a partir del particular contexto de época que atravesaron.
La cultura de masas y la construcción de consenso con el golpe militar en 1943. El caso de la revista Cascabel a través de su página “Antipolítica sobre el trasfondo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial
Authors: Lida Miranda
Published: April 2024

El golpe militar de 1943 instaló en pocos meses una atmósfera represiva. Este artículo propone enfocar el problema del consenso con este golpe militar a través de expresiones de la cultura de masas que ayudaron a erosionar las instituciones republicanas. El papel de la cultura de masas en su relación con los golpes militares de la historia argentina cuenta con antecedentes: el diario Crítica, debido a su involucramiento ante el golpe militar de 1930 y la revista Primera Plana ante la coyuntura de 1966. El estudio de la revista Cascabel resulta un excelente prisma para pensar el problema de la construcción del consenso. Cascabel publicó regularmente, entre 1941 y 1943, una columna regular bajo el título de “Página de la Antipolítica” que se abocaba a deslegitimar el sistema de partidos, las instituciones republicanas, además del sistema electoral, temas que ocupaban un lugar medular en su discurso en clave humorística.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to study how to apply the Marketing Mix Strategy to taqsith financing products at the Indonesian Syirkah Muslim Cooperation. We know that cooperative competition is very competitive. If you are a little careless, you will definitely be left behind by other cooperatives if you don't do something innovative. One of the factors that cooperatives can use to fight competition in increasing the number of customer members is by implementing a Marketing Mix Strategy which consists of 7Ps (Product, Price, Place, Promotion, People, Process, Physical Evidence). It is hoped that implementing a marketing mix strategy can increase KSMI Tulungagung members. The research method that the researcher used was a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were carried out using observation, interviews and documentation related to the research. The research results show that implementing the 7P marketing mix strategy can have an impact, namely increasing the number of customer members of the Tulungagung Indonesian Muslim Syirkah Cooperative.

Authors: Cole James , Keller Page , Kinzie Jillian , Kuh George
Published: April 2024

While peer tutoring is a valued experiential activity, little is known about the peer tutoring experience and its relationship to desired 21st century outcomes of college. This paper features the results from a multi-institution study of the characteristics and benefits of peer tutoring for tutors. The National Survey of Student Engagement was administered along with a set of experimental questions specifically designed to interrogate the process of peer tutoring at 30 four-year institutions. In general, peer tutors who identified as seniors in college showed patterns of engagement and gains in learning and personal development that exceeded substantially those of their non-tutor counterparts, especially for those who received training and feedback from supervisors. The findings have implications for tutoring program administrators, experiential educators, and others to enhance the effects of peer tutoring and other experiential learning activities.
Educational Experiences Become Experiential When the Learner is Fully Present
Authors: Stock Karen , Cola Philip , Kolb David
Published: April 2024

The 21st century has seen a dramatic rise in experiential learning research and practice. After the previous century, where research on subjective experience was for the most part excluded from academic journals, there is today a resurgence of scholarly research on experience and experiential learning. Yet, how do we know when a given educational experience is experiential? We argue that there is something more to experiential learning than just having an experience.  That “something more” is a process of experiencing, a process whereby the learner deeply engages with an experience and is fully present. Through research conducted from an international sample of learners who based response to their lived experience outside of the classroom, we extend findings from Stock & Kolb (2021) and introduce a revised version of the Experiencing Scale based on the discovery of the overarching importance of the role of presence and its ramifications for the experiencing process.  Our analysis here suggests that when learning is experiential, it is characterized by active participation, sensory engagement, deep involvement, alert/ aware attention and being fully present in the here-and-now.

Authors: Альшевская Марина Никоаевна , Кочина Анастасия Антоновна
Published: April 2024

В результате проведённого мониторинга питания было выявлено, что число студентов, питаю-щихся 2–3 раза в день в 2022 году в 1,6 раз выше, чем в 2020 году. Выявлено, что наиболее ча-сто употребляемым приемом пищи среди студентов является ужин в оба года исследования, также неизменным является количество студентов, употребляющих завтраки – 58 %, в то же время число студентов, употребляющих обеды увеличилось на 7 %: в 2022 году увеличилось число студентов, ежедневно употребляющих мясо, птицу и рыбу (на 28 %), молочных продуктов (на 12,6 %) и фруктов (на 9,3 %), однако на 8,8 % сократилось количество студентов, ежедневно употребляющих овощи. В исследовании 2022 года выявлено, что среди студентов, име-ющих бесплатное трехразовое питание, качество питания намного выше, чем у обычных сту-дентов, что говорит о влиянии дотаций на качество рационов питания студентов. По результа-там проведенных исследований зарегистрирована база данных (Свидетельство о государственной регистрации базы данных № 2023622395).
