Authors: Anusha R. , Sandhya N. T. , Sindhu N. T. , Christuraj P. Allwin
Published: August 2024

To control infection and promote healing, bentonite, a montmorillonite clay, was used topically to treat lacerate wounds. This clay has been used historically for both beauty and burn treatment. This clay possesses anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant qualities. Through the stimulation of collagen production, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis, bentonite clay promotes the healing of lacerations. The production of anti-inflammatory mediators was suppressed when lacerated lesions were treated with bentonite clay. It also has a significant impact on lacerated wound infection management. Bentonite clay's effects on lacerations. In Kulasekharam, Tamil Nadu, India, at the Sree Ramakrishna Medical College of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences and Hospital, a single case study was carried out. The female participant in this study is 19 years old. Verbal consent was gained following an explanation of the study's objectives. Our research suggests that bentonite clay is an effective treatment for lacerations. It is a natural remedy. This outcome demonstrated that the treatment has a major, non-complicative impact on the healing of lacerations. Future research with bigger sample sizes is advised in order to increase generality.

Authors: Manyani William
Published: August 2024

Coping strategies are ways of adapting to a stressful situation in which one is unable to compensate or control. Ineffective use of coping strategies is associated with non-adherence which in turn fuel readmissions due to worsening symptoms of heart failure. This study sought to determine the coping strategies used in chronic heart failure patients aged 40 to 95 years at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals. The research question was ‘what are the coping strategies used in chronic heart failure patients aged 40 to 95 years at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals. The study utilized a simple, descriptive, quantitative design and 35 participants who met the inclusion criteria were determined through simple random sampling to determine their ways of coping. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse data. The outcome of the study revealed that the older adults living with chronic heart failure used more emotion-focused coping than problem focused coping strategies. Mental disengagement was the prevailing coping strategy acknowledged to being used by many, 88.58% of the study participants. Problem-focused coping is associated with adherence to treatment whereas emotion-focused coping may precipitate non-compliance.

This service was carried out at CV Brawijaya Dairy Industry (BRADY). BRADY is one of the MSMEs in Malang Regency which operates in the milk processing sector; The products produced are mozzarella cheese and fermented milk products (yogurt). The business has been running well, and the product quality is in accordance with consumer desires. However, currently companies still require a Business Identification Number. Business Identification Number (NIB) is an identification mark for business actors, both individual and non-individual businesses, as well as commercial or operational permits. NIB can be obtained through the Online Single Submission System (OSS). Additionally, Brady also needs to obtain halal certification; one of the obstacles is that Brady requires an NIB. Halal certification is very important for developing a business because product marketing is hampered because companies must have halal certification, so many potential consumers or distributors do not want to accept Brady products because they are not halal certified. By having business legality, apart from being better known to the public, the Company also gets business certainty and protection. Other benefits are easier access to business assistance from the government, easier access to business capital, and the opportunity to obtain empowerment assistance from the government.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of profitability, solvency, company size, and company age on the level of underpricing of IPO shares on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2013- 2023. Underpricing is the difference between the IPO stock offering price and the market price when the shares are first traded on the market. This study aims to examine the effect of profitability, solvency, company size and company age on the level of underpricing of IPOshares on the IDX for the period 2013-2023. The sample of this study was 376 using purposive sampling. Data collection techniques using non-participant observation methods. The data analysis technique used is the Structural Equation Model (SEM) using Partial Least Square (PLS). Research data is processed using Smart-PLS version 4 software by evaluating the inner model and bootstrapping. The results of this study indicate that profitability, solvency, company size and company age have a negative effect on the level of underpricing of IPO shares on the IDX for the period 2013-2023. This means that the better profitability, solvency and company size owned can reduce the level of underpricing of IPO shares. Companies that have been established for a long time can also reduce the level of underpricing of IPO shares on the IDX for the 2013-2023 period.
Novel Atmospheric Dynamics Shape the Inner Edge of the Habitable Zone around White Dwarfs
Authors: Zhan Ruizhi , Koll Daniel D. B. , Ding Feng
Published: August 2024

White dwarfs offer a unique opportunity to search nearby stellar systems for signs of life, but the habitable zone around these stars is still poorly understood. Since white dwarfs are compact stars with low luminosity, any planets in their habitable zone should be tidally locked, like planets around M dwarfs. Unlike planets around M dwarfs, however, habitable white dwarf planets have to rotate very rapidly, with orbital periods ranging from hours to several days. Here we use the ExoCAM global climate model to investigate the inner edge of the habitable zone around white dwarfs. Our simulations show habitable planets with ultrashort orbital periods (P ≲ 1 day) enter a “bat rotation” regime, which differs from typical atmospheric circulation regimes around M dwarfs. Bat rotators feature mean equatorial subrotation and a displacement of the surface’s hottest regions from the equator toward the midlatitudes. We qualitatively explain the onset of bat rotation using shallow water theory. The resulting circulation shifts increase the dayside cloud cover and decrease the stratospheric water vapor, expanding the white dwarf habitable zone by ∼50% compared to estimates based on 1D models. The James Webb Space Telescope should be able to quickly characterize bat rotators around nearby white dwarfs thanks to their distinct thermal phase curves. Our work underlines that tidally locked planets on ultrashort orbits may exhibit unique atmospheric dynamics, and guides future habitability studies of white dwarf systems.

Probing the Heights and Depths of Y Dwarf Atmospheres: A Retrieval Analysis of the JWST Spectral Energy Distribution of WISE J035934.06–540154.6
Authors: Kothari Harshil , Cushing Michael C. , Burningham Ben , Beiler Samuel A. , Kirkpatrick J. Davy , Schneider Adam C. , Mukherjee Sagnick , Marley Mark S.
Published: August 2024

We present an atmospheric retrieval analysis of the Y0 brown dwarf WISE J035934.06−540154.6 using the low-resolution 0.96–12 μm James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) spectrum presented in Beiler et al. We obtain volume number mixing ratios of the major gas-phase absorbers (H2O, CH4, CO, CO2, PH3, and H2S) that are three to five times more precise than previous work that used Hubble Space Telescope (HST) spectra. We also find an order-of-magnitude improvement in the precision of the retrieved thermal profile, a direct result of the broad wavelength coverage of the JWST data. We used the retrieved thermal profile and surface gravity to generate a grid of chemical forward models with varying metallicity, (C/O)atm, and strengths of vertical mixing as encapsulated by the eddy diffusion coefficient K
zz. Comparison of the retrieved abundances with this grid of models suggests that the deep atmosphere of WISE 0359−54 shows signs of vigorous vertical mixing with K
zz = 109 [cm2 s−1]. To test the sensitivity of these results to our five-knot spline thermal profile model, we performed a second retrieval using the Madhusudhan & Seager thermal profile model. While the results of the two retrievals generally agree well, we do find differences between the retrieved values of mass and volume number mixing ratio of H2S with fractional differences of the median values of −0.64 and −0.10, respectively. In addition, the five-knot thermal profile is consistently warmer at pressure between 1 and 70 bar. Nevertheless, our results underscore the power that the broad-wavelength infrared spectra obtainable with the JWST have to characterize the atmospheres of cool brown dwarfs.

Zw 049.057 is a moderate-mass, dusty, early-type galaxy that hosts a powerful compact obscured nucleus (CON, L
FIR,CON ≥ 1011
L
⊙). The resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope enabled measurements of the stellar light distribution and characterization of dust features. Zw 049.057 is inclined with a prominent three-zone disk; the R ≈ 1 kpc star-forming inner dusty disk contains molecular gas, a main disk with less dust and an older stellar population, and a newly detected outer stellar region at R > 6 kpc with circular isophotes. Previously unknown polar dust lanes are signatures of a past minor merger that could have warped the outer disk to near face-on. Dust transmission measurements provide lower limit gas mass estimates for dust features. An extended region with moderate optical depth and M ≥ 2 × 108
M
⊙ obscures the central 2 kpc. Optical spectra show strong interstellar Na D absorption with a constant velocity across the main disk, likely arising in this extraplanar medium. Opacity measurements of the two linear dust features, pillars, give a total mass of ≥106
M
⊙, flow rates of ≥2 M
⊙ yr−1, and few Myr flow times. Dust pillars are associated with the CON and are visible signs of its role in driving large-scale feedback. Our assessments of feedback processes suggest gas recycling sustains the CON. However, radiation pressure driven mass loss and efficient star formation must be avoided for the active galactic nucleus to retain sufficient gas over its lifespan to produce substantial mass growth of the central black hole.

Published: August 2024

This paper presents a robust neural network approach for identifying hot subdwarfs. Our method leveraged the Squeeze-and-Excitation Residual Network to extract abstract features, which were combined with experience features to create hybrid features. These hybrid features were then classified using a support vector machine. To enhance accuracy, we employed a two-stage procedure. In the first stage, a binary classification model was constructed to distinguish hot subdwarfs, achieving a precision of 98.55% on the test set. In the second stage, a four-class classification model was employed to further refine the candidates, achieving a precision of 91.75% on the test set. Using the binary classification model, we classified 333,534 spectra from LAMOST DR8, resulting in a catalog of 3086 hot subdwarf candidates. Subsequently, the four-class classification model was applied to filter these candidates further. When applying thresholds of 0.5 and 0.9, we identified 2132 and 1247 candidates, respectively. Among these candidates, we visually inspected their spectra and identified 58 and 30 new hot subdwarfs, respectively, resulting in a precision of 82.04% and 88.21% for these discoveries. Furthermore, we evaluated the 3086 candidates obtained in the first stage and identified 168 new hot subdwarfs, achieving an overall precision of 62.54%. Lastly, we trained a Squeeze-and-Excitation regression model with mean absolute error values of 3009 K for T
eff, 0.20 dex for log g, and 0.42 dex for log(nHe/nH). Using this model, we predicted the atmospheric parameters of these 168 newly discovered hot subdwarfs.

Perfect directed codes in Cayley digraphs
Authors: Wang Yan , Yuan Kai , Zhao Ying
Published: August 2024

A perfect directed code (or an efficient twin domination) of a digraph is a vertex subset where every other vertex in the digraph has a unique in- and a unique out-neighbor in the subset. In this paper, we show that a digraph covers a complete digraph if and only if the vertex set of this digraph can be partitioned into perfect directed codes. Equivalent conditions for subsets in Cayley digraphs to be perfect directed codes are given. Especially, equivalent conditions for normal subsets, normal subgroups, and subgroups to be perfect directed codes in Cayley digraphs are given. Moreover, we show that every subgroup of a finite group is a perfect directed code for a transversal Cayley digraph.

The Impact of Educational Informatics on School Management Decision-Making in the Context of Big Data
Authors: Cai Zhongqi
Published: August 2024

In the domain of private education, particularly vocational education, school management encounters a complex and variable environment with diverse demands. As the advancement of educational informatics progresses, schools have accumulated a substantial amount of data, including student learning behavior, teaching data, and classroom utilization statistics. However, the efficient utilization of these data for scientific management decisions to enhance the quality of education and resource efficiency presents an urgent challenge. The study of the impacts of educational informatics on school management decision-making is of significant importance. It aids administrators in comprehensively understanding and analyzing the allocation and usage of educational resources, thereby enhancing management efficiency and teaching quality and further promoting the development of educational informatics. Despite some progress in data analysis and decision-making methods within educational informatics, deficiencies remain. Traditional methods often overlook comprehensive considerations of spatiotemporal data, failing to accurately reflect the dynamic changes in educational resources. Existing decision-making methods, predominantly based on single-agent models, lack studies on multi-agent collaborative decision-making, resulting in suboptimal decision outcomes. This study comprises three main components: first, the data modeling of educational informatics based on a spatiotemporal data model; second, an intelligent decision-making framework for school management under a reinforcement learning mechanism; and third, the implementation of an intelligent school management decision-making method based on multi-agent reinforcement learning. Through these investigations, the scientific nature and efficiency of school management are enhanced, providing new ideas and methods for management decision-making in other educational domains.
Preserving Fugacious Stories Through Metho-pedagogical Gatherings to Carry Forth Otherworlds
Authors: Ladhani Sheliza , Tyler Stephanie , McDermott Mairi
Published: August 2024

The archive of scholarly communications holds stories-knowledge-worlds that we know, well-worn scripts, repeated and repurposed that come to contour our scholarship and our lives, and then there are stories that we need to know, vital lifegiving stories of otherworlding possibilities, stories of and from what Ursula K. Le Guin (2019) calls the Carrier Bag. It is these stories that take the shape of the carrier bag—filled with relational entanglements, in-process-ness, mess, tension, the daily repetition of gathering seeds—that tend to remain untold, ignored, glossed over, and actively disrecognized in the archive of scholarly communication that we are especially interested in. Through gathering as method, we share our relations and curiosities about how communication and (un)conventional publishing processes might yet create supportive mechanisms and mediums to amplify and preserve the relational-fragmented-ephemeral wisps and whispers imbued in the entangled processes of scholarly communication. Specifically, we consider how the Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction (Le Guin 2019) invites more capacious understandings of how those who steward such re-worlding offerings of knowledge care with and for them.
Sharing from our respective and collective carrier bag(s), we offer our stories of intimacy, vulnerability, and critical reflection and animate how our relations over the years have allowed us to bring forth fertile worldmaking potentialities into our teaching and scholarship in different but linked ways. We offer our everyday practices of gathering as practical reverence for the restoration of ourselves and our relations and the restory-ation of the scholarly archive. We hope these fugacious stories, some of which show up on the page, others that hover in the spaces between letters, words, lines, and images, materialize a container that can care-fully gather and hold these vitalities through spacetime—holding enough space for you to enter with all that you carry, enough time for you to dwell.

The benefit of virtual rehabilitation is that it helps the patient increase their engagement and motivation. Another advantage is that it allows patient specific. A third utility is that the therapist can make the sessions more efficient and productive. A feature of virtual reality (VR) rehabilitation is that it is possible to create virtual environments which are more realistic than those in a video game and in which the patients can perform exercises. As a result, the patients are more immersed and motivated to avoid the boredom from which patients in standard therapy usually suffer. The features of artificial intelligence (AI) in biomedicine are the optimisation of diagnostics, treatment, and patient monitoring. AI allows for the analysis to have the potential to detect subtle deviations. In this chapter, the application of virtual reality and artificial intelligence in healthcare was discussed.

In recent years, there has been a growing demand within the industry for a more structured approach to tertiary education aimed at narrowing the knowledge gap among potential talents. Work-based learning (WBL) has emerged as a method wherein the industry actively engages in knowledge delivery. Within WBL frameworks, students are immersed in industry settings, learning directly from seasoned professionals. However, the structure and implementation of WBL in Malaysia's higher education sector still lack clarity. Challenges such as low industry participation rates, student adaptation to this approach, and the role of higher education institutions remain undefined, given that WBL represents a new learning culture in Malaysia. The study recommends the improved implementation of WBL in the Malaysian context to promote its widespread adoption and to foster greater collaboration between industry and academia in WBL initiatives, thereby better preparing tomorrow's workforce for the demands of the modern economy.

In different historical periods, people have different demands for Physical Education (PE), and the educational goal of school PE will also change, and the teaching mode and requirements of school PE will also be different. Multimedia information retrieval (IR) technology refers to searching in a large-scale multimedia database according to the content and context of media and media objects. In this paper, the Back Propagation instructional level of physical training class, and model is established. The BPNN is used to analyze the Multimedia IR data, and the simulation and experiment show the effectiveness of the assessment model, which provides a new method for comprehensively, fairly and scientifically evaluating the teaching work. This method is improved by 11.85% compared with the comparative assessment algorithms. The method of using BPNN to evaluate instructional level is easy to operate, which can overcome the shortcomings of traditional assessment methods, and avoid the complicated process of traditional assessment of instructional level.

In the current education field, the assessment of teaching management quality mostly relies on subjective judgment and static data, and lacks a real-time and dynamic feedback mechanism. In this study, we propose a deep learning-based human behavior analysis method, which aims to assess teaching management quality in real time by analyzing the behaviors of teachers and students in the classroom. First, in order to detect individual students in the video stream, an augmented detection framework based on YOLO v5s is introduced to process and analyze human actions and interaction patterns in the video data. Immediately after that, we design a channel residual decoupled convolutional neural network to recognize the different states of students. Teaching management quality is assessed by detecting students' classroom attention scores. By conducting experiments in different disciplines and teaching management environments to collect and train the model, the results show that the method can effectively improve the objectivity and accuracy of teaching management quality assessment.

Published: August 2024

Based on the legal system of enterprises, in the realm of intelligent financial management, accurately predicting the impact of retail promotional activities on revenue is crucial. However, traditional methods often struggle to address the complexity of promotional effects and the variability of consumer behavior, resulting in less accurate predictions. To tackle this issue, we propose a novel model, TCGNet, based on deep learning techniques. This model integrates TCN and GNN, optimized by the GWO, to provide more precise predictions of the impact of promotional activities on revenue. Experimental results demonstrate significant advantages of the TCGNet model across various metrics, offering more reliable support for retail financial management. This research aims to furnish businesses with more precise and timely financial planning and budget management support, with the potential to aid in the formulation of more effective marketing strategies and financial decisions.
