Published: September 2024

All children are born in different environments and home environments. But one thing is certain: children need love and guidance to help them thrive in every aspect of their lives. Currently, there are many differences in children's family backgrounds that influence their socialization behavior. The reason behind this is because there are harmonious families, there are also broken homes. In the family, parents in particular play an important role in the development of a child's personality, especially in the child's daily behavior. The aim of this research is to describe children's social behavior when viewed from differences in family background. The research method used in this article is qualitative research, namely descriptive research in the form of describing/exposing the behavioral symptoms of people being observed. Researchers are the main instrument of research carried out at MI Al Awal Palembang for comprehensive data collection. This panel research was carried out in class IV at MI Al Awwal Palembang. The research results show that there are many differences in the social behavior of each child when viewed from family background. We identified two different family backgrounds, namely a harmonious family and a broken home family. So the solution that can be implemented in developing the character and social behavior of children who come from broken homes is that teachers must guide and educate children so that they can change their character from bad habits to good ones, they must try to understand children's feelings and provide advice and considerations as best as possible. Teachers must also try to bring children closer to their friends. The role of peers is no less important, because one of their roles is to provide a source of information and comparison about the world outside the family environment

The digital revolution frontiers have rippled across society today – with various web content shared online for users as they seek to promote monetization and asset exchange, with clients constantly seeking improved alternatives at lowered costs to meet their value demands. From item upgrades to their replacement, businesses are poised with retention strategies to help curb the challenge of customer attrition. The birth of smartphones has proliferated feats such as mobility, ease of accessibility, and portability – which, in turn, have continued to ease their rise in adoption, exposing user device vulnerability as they are quite susceptible to phishing. With users classified as more susceptible than others due to online presence and personality traits, studies have sought to reveal lures/cues as exploited by adversaries to enhance phishing success and classify web content as genuine and malicious. Our study explores the tree-based Random Forest to effectively identify phishing cues via sentiment analysis on phishing website datasets as scrapped from user accounts on social network sites. The dataset is scrapped via Python Google Scrapper and divided into train/test subsets to effectively classify contents as genuine or malicious with data balancing and feature selection techniques. With Random Forest as the machine learning of choice, the result shows the ensemble yields a prediction accuracy of 97 percent with an F1-score of 98.19% that effectively correctly classified 2089 instances with 85 incorrectly classified instances for the test-dataset.

It highlights Nigeria's potential in solar energy, hydropower, and lithium-ion battery production and urges African leaders to aggressively pursue energy-mix approaches, liberalise the mining and energy sectors, and establish "green energy banks" to access affordable loans. The paper emphasises the need for a coordinated effort to achieve a net-zero emission economy and meet global climate change commitments.
The Societal Shaping of Deaf Technological Advancements
Authors: Burrows Kathryn ,   Atomic Academic
Published: September 2024

Different social groups construct the meanings of physical difference to fit competing ideologies and interests. In the case of deafness, there are two primary ways of understanding the condition. A cultural perspective understands deafness to be a difference rather than a disability, and American Sign Language (ASL) is used as the language technology. The infirmity, or medicalised model, of deafness considers deafness to be a disability to cure or treat. Each of these two perspectives of deafness informs the kinds of technology that are developed and adopted for, by, and about deaf people. On the one hand, the infirmity model of deafness encourages technologies that "correct" the deaf body to be hearing. The cultural model of deafness, on the other hand, encourages the development of technologies that allow deafness and hearing to coexist.
The Effect of Using Gamification to Improve EFL Students' Academic Performance
Authors: Tayeh Qadri , Krishan Tamara Moh’d , Malkawi Nibal
Published: September 2024

This paper aims to determine whether there is evidence that gamified instruction can be effective in improving EFL students' academic achievement. The aim of the research is to establish how effective gamification is as a method against more traditional types of education and what areas of the English language—for example, reading comprehension, grammar, and vocabulary—are most effectively promoted via the integration of gamification into the classroom environment. The sample included 120 fourth graders from public schools in Jordan, where 60 children were to form the gamified instruction group and another 60 to form the standard instruction group. Pretests and posttests of English language skills using standardized tools measured students at two different times: before and after the instructional interventions. These tests are the main instruments utilized for data collection and analysis. Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and one-way MANOVA tests were performed to test the variation and holistic impact of the instructional methods on different components of language learning. The experimental findings support that the gamified instruction group scored significantly higher than the regular instruction group at post-intervention. More specifically, the students of the game-based group scored an average of 74.44 (SD= 7.93) on the posttest, compared to 69.31 (SD = 6.14) for those of the control group.The result for the T-test yields t = 4.05 and p < 0.001, hence showing that the gamified group had significantly better results. The classroom gamification usage made noteworthy gains in students' vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension abilities. One-way ANOVA results were vocabulary, F = 22.65, p < 0.001; grammar, F = 15.78, p < 0.001; and reading comprehension, F = 18.93, p < 0.001. MANOVA supported this finding that the Wilks' Lambda value was 0.62, with an F-value of 20.45 and a p-value less than 0.001, indicating that gamified training was of benefit overall in enhancing English language competence. The results of this research come with a very exciting revelation, such as gamified instruction being an excellent means of teaching English as a foreign language since it enhances students' interest and performance in class.

Authors: Sun Weicheng , Zhang Ping , Wang Zilin , Li Dongxu
Published: September 2024

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, extracting latent information from medical data has become increasingly critical. Cardiovascular disease is now a major threat to human health, being one of the leading causes of mortality. Therefore, developing effective prediction methods for cardiovascular diseases is urgently needed. Current medical approaches primarily focus on disease detection rather than prediction, which limits early intervention. By leveraging computational methods, it is possible to predict cardiovascular disease in advance, enabling timely treatment and potentially reducing the disease’s impact. This study employs machine learning techniques, including Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), and Random Forest (RF), to predict cardiovascular diseases as classification problems. These machine learning models are supported by robust mathematical theory, allowing them to handle non-linear classification challenges effectively. The results offer valuable insights for the prevention and early treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Authors: Wang Zilin , Zhang Ping , Sun Weicheng , Li Dongxu
Published: September 2024

The volume and complexity of data in various fields, particularly in biology, are increasing exponentially, posing a challenge to existing analytical methods, which often struggle with high-dimensional data such as single-cell Hi-C data. To address this issue, we employ unsupervised methods, specifically Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE), to reduce data dimensions for visualization. Furthermore, we assess the information retention of the decomposed components using a Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) classifier model. Our findings indicate that these dimensionality reduction techniques effectively capture and present information not readily apparent in the original high-dimensional data, facilitating the visualization and interpretation of complex biological data. The LDA classifier's performance suggests that PCA and t-SNE maintain critical information necessary for accurate classification. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that PCA and t-SNE are powerful tools for visualizing and analyzing high-dimensional biological data, enabling researchers to gain new insights and understandings that are challenging to achieve with traditional approaches.

Authors: Zhao Yue , Wang Xingdong , Zhang Zifan
Published: September 2024

To enhance the LOMAX algorithm for sea ice concentration analysis in the polar regions, SSM/I 91.6GHz data was utilized, addressing the underuse of higher frequency data. The refinement process involved redefining PCT values for one-year and multi-year ice regions through both interpolation and least squares methods. Moreover, band operations were conducted to facilitate Arctic multi-year ice concentration retrieval. Comparative analyses with the NT algorithm indicated that the Arctic sea ice extents determined by both algorithms were similar, affirming the credibility of the modified LOMAX algorithm. When examining the results for March and September, the updated LOMAX algorithm demonstrated improved accuracy over the NT algorithm, especially under summer ice melt conditions, highlighting the enhanced performance and reliability of the refined algorithm in various seasonal contexts.

Published: September 2024

Background: Ocular trauma is a major preventable cause of visual morbidity and a leading cause of monocular blindness. Pellet injury is one of the causes of major ocular trauma. It needs extensive medical care and vocational rehabilitation. It has significant impact on global health Methods: This retrospective study was conducted from medical records of 25 patients with ocular pellet gun injury admitted in National Institute of Ophthalmology and hospital, Dhaka from 2011 to 2023. Results: Out of the 25 patients, 13 (52.0%) were more than 25 years age group while the mean age of the patients was 25.5 (±4.6) years. All of the patients were male. Among them 23 (92.0%) had unilateral eye involvement. Pellets caused perforating injuries in 12 (44.4%) eyes while in 9 (33.3%) eyes had closed globe injury. Vitreous hemorrhage in 21 (77.8%) eyes, retinal hemorrhage in 16 (59.3%) eyes, retinal tear in 15 (55.6%) eyes, while few (7.4%) had macular injury and 4 (14.8%) eyes suffered from traumatic optic neuropathy Majority of the eyes (15;55.6%) underwent PPV while 12 (44.4%) eyes were managed by conservative management. At baseline, only one eye (3.7%) had visual acuity 6/60 or better. Sixteen eyes (59.3%) had visual acuity <1/60 and 8 eyes (29.6%) had NPL. Six months after treatment, two eyes (7.4%) had visual acuity 6/60 or better. Visual acuity was <1/60 in 7 eyes (25.9%) while 17 eyes (63.0%) had NPL. Finally, sixteen eyes (59.3%) developed phthisis bulbi while 3 (11.1%) eyes were normal. Conclusion: This study highlights the bad impact of pellet injury to the society due to poor visual and anatomical outcomes despite of immediate surgical intervention. Protective eyewear should be used during wartime and protests and decision makers should ban use of pellet gun on the civilians.

Mean serum ferritin was 1980±1126.19 ng/ml, mean serum TSH was 3.55±2.08 µIU/ml, mean serum free T4 was 1.10±0.18 ng/ml, mean serum free T3 was 3.64±0.37 pg/ml. Subclinical hypothyroidism and euthyroid were found in 20 patients (20%) and 80 patients (80%) respectively. No overt hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism were found. Mean serum ferritin in subclinical hypothyroid and euthyroid were 2407±995.37 ng/ml and 1875.59±1131.18 ng/ml respectively which difference was statistically significant (P value <0.05). Scattered diagram was done and it showed linear correlation between serum ferritin and serum TSH of subclinical hypothyroid group. No linear correlation was found between serum ferritin and F.T3 and F.T4 on scattered diagram. Positive (Pearson) correlation was found between serum ferritin and serum TSH of subclinical hypothyroid group and strong positive (Pearson) correlation (r=0.74, P=0.02) was found between them. Conclusion: This study showed that good percentages of children with transfusion dependent thalassemia are suffering from subclinical hypothyroidism. There is positive correlation between serum ferritin level and subclinical hypothyroidism.

Background: Benign breast problems account for a considerable share of diagnoses for breast diseases, which is a major global health concern. The study investigates the correlation between urinary 8-OHdG levels and benign breast illnesses, aiming to identify oxidative stress variations, aid in developing targeted therapies and personalized healthcare plans. Methods: This comparative study evaluated urinary 8-OHdG levels in patients with clinically suspected breast lump cases at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka. The sample included 30 healthy individuals and 30 patients with benign breast disorders. Important variables included oestrogen replacement medication, alcohol intake, age of menarche, menopause, obesity, and urinary 8-OHdG levels. Results: The study analysed 60 participants with benign breast diseases, revealing significant differences in age distribution, menarche age, BMI categories, demographic and reproductive factors, and urine 8-OHdG levels. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed significant associations between urinary 8-OHdG concentrations and factors like age, OCP consumption history, marital status, age of menarche, breast feeding history, menopausal status, family history of breast cancer, and histopathological grading. However, body mass index and number of parities did not show significant associations with urinary 8-OHdG concentrations.
Konuşma Çözümlemesi, Söylem Çözümlemesi ve İçerik Analizi

Published: September 2024

Söylem çözümlemesi günümüzde nitel araştırmada kullanılan temel yaklaşımlardan biridir. Dokümanların veri olarak kullanımı gibi konuşma çözümlemesi de nitel araştırma geleneğinde uzun bir geçmişe sahiptir. Bu yaklaşımlarda, veri toplama doğal olarak var olan etkileşimleri kayıt altına almak veya gazetelerden köşe yazısı veya kurumsal dosyalardan doküman seçmek gibi etkinlikler yoluyla bir dizi materyal oluşturma üzerine odaklanılır. Bu süreçte, görüşmelerde veya odak gruplarında kullanılan, bizzat araştırma süreci için veri oluşturan geleneksel veri toplama yöntemleri önemli bir rol oynamaz. Burada belirleyici araştırma amaçlarına yönelik mevcut materyallerin hazırlanması ve sunulmasıdır. Bu nedenle ses ve video materyallerinin yazıya dökülmesi ve arşiv oluşturulması sadece teknik veya küçük meseleler değil, aksine araştırma sürecinde temel hususlardır. Bu bağlamda etik konusu hem dikkate değer hem de farklı bir şekilde gündeme gelmektedir. Bu kitap bu ve benzeri konuları söylem analizi ve konuşma çözümlemesi perspektifinden ele almaktadır. Bunu yaparken, veri dökümleme gibi konuların SAGE Nitel Araştırma Set'indeki diğer kitaplardan farklı ve belki de daha sistematik bir eleştirisini yapmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, görüşmeler ve odak grupları, yalnızca içlerinde iletilen içerikler için değil, bu şekilde analiz edilebilecek özel konuşma durumları olduğundan Set'teki diğer kitaplar tarafından da desteklenmektedir. Bu nedenle elinizdeki bu kitap, Barbour'un (2018) odak grupları kitabı ve Brinkmann ve Kvale'nin (2018) görüşme hakkındaki kitabı birbirini tamamlayıcı niteliktedir. Aynı şey görsel materyallerin kullanımı hakkındaki kitap (Banks, 2018) için de söylenebilir. Çünkü bu kitap da söylemi incelemek için kullanılabilir. Veri analizine yönelik daha genel yaklaşım sergileyen Gibbs (2018) özellikle bilgisayar ve yazılım kullanımıyla ilgili olarak, söylem ve konuşma çözümlemesi ilgili materyalleri kodlamanın yollarını daha ayrıntılı olarak sunmaktadır. Aynısı Temellendirilmiş Kuram'ın ana hatları için de geçerlidir (Flick, 2018a). Elinizdeki kitap her şeyden önce SAGE Nitel Araştırma Set'i bağlamında tek bir yaklaşım için ayrılmıştır, ancak aynı zamanda buradaki yaklaşım, yöntemlerin bileşkeleri ile kullanılabileceğinden, Set'in daha genel olan kapsamına iyi oturmuştur (Üçgenleme ve Karma Yöntemler, Flick, 2018b'deki gibi). Kalite ve analizin planlanması ile ilgili daha özel hususlar, nitel araştırma tasarlama (Flick, 2018c) ve bu süreçte kaliteyi yönetmeye (Flick, 2018d) dair daha genel önerilere ek olarak verilmiştir. Konuşma Çözümlemesi, Söylem Çözümlemesi ve Doküman Analizi elinizdeki ikinci baskı için baştan sona güncellenmiş ve genişletilmiştir. Böylece SAGE Nitel Araştırma Set'inin yeni baskısındaki yeni kitaplarla da bağlantılı hale getirilmiştir.
Nitel Araştırma Tasarımı

Published: September 2024

Nitel araştırmada, araştırma tasarlama konusu nicel yaklaşımlarda olduğu kadar öne çıkmamaktadır. Bununla birlikte, nitel araştırma da planlanmalıdır ve bir araştırma sorusu formüle etme, örneklemeye karar verme, nasıl ve hangi amaçla genelleme yapılacağını düşünme gibi araştırma sürecinde alınması gereken çeşitli kararlar vardır. Bunlar nitel bir çalışmanın tasarımını etkileyen konular ve kararlardır. Ancak detaylı olarak nasıl bir araştırma planlandığına bağlı olarak farklı şekillerde ortaya çıkabilir. Bir görüşmede örnekleme, odak grup araştırmasında bir grup oluşturmaktan farklıdır. Etnografide yer ve kişi seçimi, bir fotoğraf veya belge arşivinden örnek almaktan farklıdır. Bu tür konular, Barbour (2018) ve Coffey’nin (2018) kitaplarında, incelenen tek yönteme özel bir bakış açısıyla ele alınacaktır. SAGE Nitel Araştırma Seti'ndeki diğer kitaplarla karşılaştırıldığında bu kitabın daha genel bir konusu vardır. Böylece tasarım konuları burada farklı açılardan ele alınacak ve Set'in diğer kitaplarında tekrar daha detaylı olarak ele alınacaktır. Bu kitap, nitel araştırmadaki araştırma tasarımlarına diğer kitaplarda ele alınan daha spesifik bakış açılarından daha karşılaştırmalı bir bakış açısı sunar. Kitap, örneğin farklı düzeylerde (kişilerin, yerlerin, belgelerin veya materyallerin, görüşmelerin ve benzerlerinin) örneklemesini ele alacaktır. Ayrıca, daha genel araştırma konularından ve kişisel veya politik geçmişlerden araştırma sorularının nasıl oluşturulduğuna odaklanacaktır. Nitel araştırma yapmadaki kaynaklar ve zorluklar da ele alınacaktır. Bu konuları ele alırken, kitap, okuyucuları nitel araştırmayla tanıştırmak için özel bir yaklaşım olarak araştırma tasarımlarını ele almaktadır. Kitabın bu anlamda SAGE Nitel Araştırma Seti bağlamında iki işlevi vardır: bağımsız bir kitap olarak nitel araştırmanın tasarımındaki problemlerin ve çözümlerin kapsamlı bir açıklamasını vermeyi amaçlamak; Set'teki diğer kitaplara ek olarak, diğer kitapların çerçevesini uygulamaya dönük ve metodolojik seviyede tamamlamak. İkinci baskısı için, Nitel Araştırma Tasarımı baştan sona güncellendi ve genişletildi, böylece SAGE Nitel Araştırma Seti'nin yeni baskısındaki sürümler ve kitaplarla da bağlantılı hale getirildi.
Closing the Gap: Addressing Gender Pay Disparities and Remote Work Taxation
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: September 2024

This article examines persistent gender pay gaps across industries and job levels and provides recommendations for organizational leaders to promote equitable compensation practices and work environments. Extensive research reveals unexplained pay disparities remain between women, particularly women of color, and white men even after controlling for factors like occupation, education and experience. The shift to remote work during the pandemic also inadvertently caused higher taxes for some women working from home. To address these issues, the article recommends evidence-based strategies for leaders such as conducting pay equity audits; ensuring transparent, objective compensation processes; banning pay secrecy; supporting caregiving; addressing remote work taxation; collecting demographic pay data; and promoting women and minorities into senior roles and fields like STEM where they are underrepresented. Tailoring these approaches within industries like technology, healthcare, education and government can advance equity and inclusion, as closing gender pay gaps requires ongoing commitment across all sectors to achieve truly just workplaces.
