Published: June 2024

Employee well-being is crucial thing to performance and organizational success which has been studied extensively in the field of industrial and organizational psychology. Those employees with higher levels of well-being are less probable to quit and are typically more productive at the workplace. Therefore, the objective of this research is to examine the effect of several demographic factors on well-being such as life satisfaction among industrial female operators. There were 313 employees of an electronic component manufacturing company who participated in this research. A Life Satisfaction Scale consisting of five questions regarding the global cognitive evaluation of one's life was administered. The collected demographic factors were age, tenure, department or division, and dependents. The results indicated that tenure and marital status were related to life satisfaction. Those who are married and work longer in the company have a higher level of satisfaction than their peers. Meanwhile, the age, department, and dependents were not significant determinants of life satisfaction. Our research indicates the importance of implementing various strategies to improve life satisfaction, especially among newly recruited employees.

Authors: Shalash Reime Jamal , Arumugam Ashokan , Qadah Raneen Mohammed , Al-Sharman Alham
Published: June 2024

Aim. This narrative review aimed to investigate the association of objectively measured physical activity and screen time on cognitive function among young adults.
Methods. We conducted searches on EBSCO and Google Scholar to identify relevant studies published in English within the last decade. The search terms included keywords such as "physical activity" or "exercise," and "screen time" or "screen exposure," along with "cognition" or "cognitive function."
Results. Almost all studies conducted on older adults showed positive associations between physical activity assessed objectively using an accelerometer, screen time, and cognitive function. Conflicting results were observed between physical activity and cognitive functions in young and middle-aged adults. More studies are required to confirm the association between objectively measured physical activity and cognitive function, given the limited availability of studies.
Conclusion. The overall findings of this narrative review highlight the negative impact of sedentary behavior on cognitive health, emphasizing the need to incorporate physical activity into our lifestyles to prevent future cognitive decline. Moreover, the impact of screen time and media content yielded contradictory findings on cognitive functions among different age groups, but mostly confirmed the negative effects of passive screen exposure on cognitive functions among children and adolescents. This review highlights the need for future studies to use standardized and objective methods to measure cognitive function, screen time, and media content in different populations, especially among young and middle-aged adults, to raise awareness regarding screen time.

Published: June 2024

Background. Physiotherapists have a significant role in the treatment and care of individuals with COVID 19, who suffer from a range of symptoms and complications. Treatment for these patients requires a multidisciplinary approach. The study aims to explore the practice patterns of assessment and management adopted by physiotherapists for patients with COVID 19 in critical care and rehabilitation settings in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Methods. A survey questionnaire was shared with physiotherapists working in the UAE’s private and public hospitals. The questionnaire consisted of 60 questions that were divided into 5 sections: assessment in ICU and wards, treatment in ICU and wards, and patient education.
Results. The physiotherapy evaluation of patients was primarily focused on specific impairment measures. Respiratory rate was the highest reported assessment tool in the ICU, with 68% of physiotherapists always using it. More than 78% of ward assessments use physical examination and respiratory rate. Treatment in the ICU was primarily done with chest percussion and suction therapy; over 85% reported using them always or frequently. A total of 89% of respondents used positioning and postural drainage as part of their treatment in wards, and 100% chose walking as their method of mobilization.
Conclusion. Both ICU and acute care physiotherapists used similar assessment techniques focused on impairments and dyspnea-quantifying measures, with less emphasis on functional exercise capacity. They, however, used similar approaches to treatment in the ICU and wards, with slight variations in airway clearance and equipment use.
Theoretical and methodological aspects of psychological training of athletes
Authors: Sazonova S. L. , Parfenova A. M. , Birina O. A.
Published: June 2024

Relevance. Sports activity in the human mind most often causes associations with physical activity, a competitive process in the realization of human physical capabilities. It is the active external activity using the human body that most often appears to us as the most vivid association with such a phenomenon as sports. Nevertheless, regardless of the sports activity, sometimes we can see completely unexpected results of competitions. Cases when, by all parameters, the favorite, the person who promises victory before the start of the confrontation, is defeated as a result by a weaker opponent. Or, for example, situations in which an incredibly talented athlete with personal innate qualities for a particular sport achieves significantly less success at a distance than a not so talented athlete, but at the same time a strong-willed, hardworking athlete who is suitable for every training session with a serious attitude.The purpose of the study is to determine the theoretical and methodological aspects of psychological training of athletes.Methods and organization of research. The criteria for the psychological preparation of an athlete are such parameters as: orientation in space, a sense of distance, speed of reaction, logical and tactical thinking, concentration of attention, stable emotional state, etc.The results of the study and their discussion. The interaction of coaches, athletes and the organization also has an important impact on the psychological readiness of athletes. Communication between these categories of people is of great importance here. Their ideas about the goals, opportunities and means of achieving these goals should at least have similarities and some commonality.Conclusions. The main category of psychological readiness becomes psychological stability, which includes a stable emotional background, a mood for victory, and concentration on achieving goals despite negative and disturbing factors.
Methods of mechanotherapy at the inpatient stage of physical rehabilitation of patients who have suffered an ischemic stroke
Authors: Rogov O. S. , Timofeeva I. V.
Published: June 2024

Relevance: Vascular diseases of the brain account for a significant percentage of all cardiovascular diseases. World statistics invariably assign them the third, and in some economically developed countries even the second place among the main causes of human mortality. The most severe complication of vascular diseases is cerebral stroke, which often affects people in the prime of their creative powers. The exceptional attention paid to these lesions is explained, first of all, by their high prevalence. The purpose of the study is to identify the mechanisms of action and effectiveness of mechanotherapy.Methods and organization of research. The essence of the new approach to the use of mechanotherapy consists in adaptive sequential training of correct movements – from primitive to complex, with the aim of their neuro-reflex fixation during exercises, as well as to restore the trophic muscles, joints, ligaments, bones of the body segment, and, as a result, the body as a whole.The results of the study and their discussion. Treatment of patients with acute cerebrovascular accident, initiated in the first days and hours of stroke, significantly increases positive prognoses, both in relation to the patient's life and in relation to the restoration of impaired functions. The severe clinical course, the presence of pronounced defects leading to disability, limited possibilities of using methods of rehabilitation therapy and, consequently, a high degree of restoration of impaired functions in this category of patients currently determine the need to find new ways and methods to increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation measures.Conclusions. Based on the results of the study, we have developed practical recommendations that can be offered to instructors of therapeutic physical education working with patients of this category.

Authors: AGBAMU Mercy Etakpobunor , IROGBO Prosper Uyoyou
Published: June 2024

This study examines the complex relationship between education as a socioeconomic factor and crime rates in Abraka, Nigeria. Employing a cross-sectional research design, structured questionnaires were distributed to participants (n=100) drawn from an ideal sample size of (n=400) from a total population of N=79,963 calculated using the Taro Yamane sample size technique. The study population comprised youths and adult population aged 16-39 years, with varying socioeconomic characteristics. Data analysis was conducted using both descriptive and inferential statistics. From the analysis, the findings revealed significant negative correlations between access to quality education and crime rates in Abraka, underscoring the pivotal role of educational opportunities in mitigating criminal activities. Specifically, the study identified a trend where diminishing interest in formal education corresponded with an increase in crime rates, highlighting the importance of educational engagement in crime prevention efforts. It also found significant positive relationship between unemployment and crime rate in Abraka, suggesting that crime rate in Abraka increases or decreases subject to socio-economic status. Based on these findings, the study recommends addressing educational disparities and enhancing employment opportunities in Abraka. Policymakers are urged to enact comprehensive policies that prioritize socioeconomic development over solely relying on stringent law enforcement measures. By fostering educational advancement and providing pathways to gainful employment, Abraka can effectively combat crime and promote the overall well-being of its residents.

Zu einem Grundproblem kriminologischer Aktenanalysen (zum Menschenhandel) – Ergebnisse eines zufällig entstandenen Forschungsprojekt
Authors: Bartsch Tillmann , Schierholt Johanna
Published: June 2024

In den Jahren 2020 und 2021 führte das Kriminologische Forschungsinstitut Niedersachsen e.V. (KFN) eine vom Bundesministerium der Justiz und für Verbraucherschutz (BMJV) finanzierte Studie durch, mit der die im Jahr 2016 reformierten strafrechtlichen Vorschriften zur Bekämpfung des Menschenhandels (§§ 232 bis 233a StGB) evaluiert wurden. Um für die geplante Aktenanalyse eine Stichprobe zu bilden, hatten das BMJV und das KFN sowohl die Landesjustizverwaltungen als auch das BKA um die Angabe von Aktenzeichen zu Menschenhandelsverfahren gebeten, die in den Jahren 2017 bis 2019 von den Staatsanwaltschaften bzw. der Polizei abgeschlossen worden waren. Beim anschließenden Vergleich der von Landesjustizverwaltungen bzw. BKA übermittelten Aktenzeichen zu Menschenhandelsverfahren zeigte sich eine Diskrepanz, die unerwartet groß war und sich zunächst nicht erklären ließ. Daraufhin erteilte das BMJV dem KFN den Auftrag zu einer Ergänzungsstudie, mit der die Diskrepanz erklärt werden sollte. Die Ergebnisse dieser kleinen Zusatzstudie zur eigentlichen Evaluation der Strafvorschriften über den Menschenhandel werden hier vorgestellt. Sie lassen erkennen, dass wohlüberlegt sein will, mithilfe welcher Daten man die Stichprobe für eine Aktenanalyse bildet.

The aim is to improve the quality of life of those who suffer and die at home due to lack of care.
Cerium Compounds in LEDs Technology
Authors: L.A. Letswalo Machaba , Reddy Leelakhrishna
Published: June 2024

This chapter explores the application and benefits of cerium compounds in LEDs, delving into their impact on photoluminescence, electroluminescence, quantum efficiency, and color quality. Cerium compounds (CeO2) play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of LEDs. Phosphors are substances that absorb photons and emit light of different wavelengths. By introducing cerium compounds as phosphors in LEDs, the conversion of blue light to other colors becomes more efficient, resulting in improved luminous efficacy. In this chapter, the study on YAG:Ce phosphor material shows that vacuum annealing tends to suppress Ce3+ oxidation more than air annealing, leading to a considerable 20% increase in photoluminescence emission intensity. The optimized YAG:Ce nanoparticles were used to create a white light emitting diode (WLED) that produced cool-white light with a maximum radiation luminous efficacy of 285 lm/W and a comparable color rendering index of 83. Furthermore, Na2MgSiO4:Ce3+:Li+ phosphor study displays tunable emission color characteristics when the content of Ce3+ is increased or Li+ is added as a charge compensator. The utilization of cerium compounds (CeO2) has demonstrated significant efficiency and color quality improvements on YAG:Ce and Na2MgSiO4:Ce3+:Li+ phosphor components.

Application of the Kalman Filter in Monitoring, Diagnosis, and Fault Parrying Problems for Observable Dynamical Systems
Authors: Chernodarov Alexander
Published: June 2024

This section is devoted to approaches for the formation, estimation and application of diagnostic parameters, as well as stochastic models in monitoring problems. The procedures for increasing the reliability and depth of dynamic systems monitoring are substantiated based on the decomposition of diagnostic models, the use of combined statistical criteria and the processing of observations in “forward” and “backward” time using the extended Kalman filter. The possibility of detecting and parrying anomalous observations using robust filtering procedures is shown. Such procedures are based on the use of an influence function that establishes the level of confidence for formed observations. U-D modification of the Kalman filter with an influence function in the observation selection loop is presented. Here U is an upper triangular matrix with unit diagonal elements and D is a diagonal matrix. Results of the mathematical simulation are given.
Phyto-Nanoparticles in Osteogenesis
Authors: Suresh Nandita , Joseph Betsy , Waltimo Tuomas , Anil Sukumaran
Published: June 2024

Phyto-nanoparticles derived from plants are an emerging class of nanomaterials that integrate the versatility of nanotechnology with the therapeutic potential of botanical ingredients. This chapter explores the utility of phyto-nanoparticles in stimulating osteogenesis for applications in bone tissue engineering and regeneration. Plant extracts serve as sustainable nanoparticle building blocks or coatings through green synthesis approaches. Resultant phyto-nanoparticles possess multifunctional capabilities stemming from the bioactive phytochemical components that enable the modulation of osteogenic cells like mesenchymal stem cells and osteoblasts. Diverse phyto-nanoparticles based on green tea, aloe vera, curcumin, and other plant derivatives have demonstrated the ability to enhance osteoblast differentiation, proliferation, and mineralized matrix deposition. Proposed mechanisms encompass direct cell interactions, sustained intracellular delivery of osteogenic drugs, and complementary anti-inflammatory effects. Capitalizing on these osteogenic properties, researchers have designed innovative tissue engineering scaffolds, functionalized bone implants, and developed therapeutic carriers for diseases like osteoporosis using phyto-nanotechnology. Further innovations in fabrication strategies and integration with emerging technologies will realize smarter, personalized plant-based nanosystems to advance bone regeneration capabilities dramatically.

Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT)/Osler-Weber-Rendu Syndrome: A Review on Contemporary Knowledge, Its Accompanying Clinical Manifestations, Diagnostics, and Oro-Dental Management Plan
Authors: S. Haidar Ziyad
Published: June 2024

HHT/OWRS is a very rare, hereditary, genetic autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by local angiodysplasias on skin and mucosae, even more rarely reported in the oral and dental health-related literature. It affects blood vessel formation throughout the body and is often accompanied with recurrent and severe episodes of epistaxis and telangiectasia on the skin and mucous membranes, including oral mucosae; and henceforth, perhaps the first sign of OWRS/HHT that can be initially diagnosed is by us, dentists/odontologists, oral and cranio-maxillo-facial surgeons, and specialized oral, dental, head, face and neck health care providers. Such symptoms may be associated with an IgA deficiency and, rarely, with von Willebrand disease. Thus, we are in an optimal position to detect the OWRS/HHT symptoms early, even if symptoms of other conditions may or do mimic OWRS/HHT oral lesions. Herein, this chapter re-visits and reviews, for the interested clinician, surgeon, scientist, researcher, and Innovation in Osteogenesis Research reader, the current knowledge on a very rare yet complex disease. Hence, the aim herein is for it to serve as a reminder as well as a contemporary clinical and surgical guide aiding in detecting, diagnosing, understanding, and efficaciously managing (including Health Care Information Management) patients suffering from OWRS or HHT.
Enhancing Resilience in Cooperative Systems against Cyber-Attacks: A Defense Framework through Adaptive Network Reconfiguration and Digital Twin
Authors: Gusrialdi Azwirman , Babu Venkateswaran Deepalakshmi , Qu Zhihua
Published: June 2024

The book chapter presents a solution to enhance the resilience of multi-agent cooperative systems against cyber-attacks. Specifically, the threat involves adversaries aiming to prevent the cooperative systems from achieving consensus by launching false data injection (FDI) or denial-of-service (DoS) attacks on the communication network. First, a distributed algorithm is proposed to identify critical edges, via online estimation/learning of the network’s parameters, whose removals disconnect the network. An adaptive network reconfiguration algorithm is then presented to remove those critical edges, thus ensuring the resilient operation of the cooperative systems against arbitrary DoS attacks. Additionally, a digital twin, interconnected with the cooperative systems, is introduced to simultaneously ensure the resiliency of the cooperative systems against FDI attacks and increase the redundancy of the network. Finally, it is illustrated how the proposed defense framework also allows for detecting and identifying in real-time both attack vectors in the network. The efficacy of the proposed solution is demonstrated through numerical simulations, showcasing their effectiveness in protecting the cooperative systems against cyber threats.

Authors: Elizabeth González Alice , Paz Urban Martín , Goyeneche Martín , Carolina Ramírez Lady
Published: June 2024

Within the framework of a broader project, the vulnerability to climate change of roadworks of art (bridges and culverts) was analyzed. A hydrological study was done; a set of preselected bridges and culverts was characterized. A methodology was proposed to work with risk matrices in order to determine an investment prioritization criterion from this point of view. This methodology was applied to the preselected set of bridges and culverts intended to have higher vulnerability to climate change (because of their years in service, their design, current scour depth, and so on). The proposed methodology was implemented in detail in two specific cases and turned out to be robust and easy to apply.

EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE
Authors: Mahalakshmi A.L.
Published: June 2024

The importance of evidence-based practice in healthcare for improving patient outcomes is widely recognized. While nursing research primarily generates new knowledge, evidence-based nursing practice focuses on applying the best available evidence to guide care. There's a growing trend in research to effectively translate evidence into practice. It's clear that having research-based evidence alone isn't enough; it must also be successfully integrated into a supportive environment to yield meaningful results. In nursing, evidence-based practice means delivering comprehensive, high-quality care based on the latest research and knowledge rather than relying solely on traditional methods, advice from peers, or personal beliefs. Implementing evidence-based practice in nursing bridges the gap between theory and actual patient care, leading to innovative healthcare that incorporates the latest discoveries. Evidence-based practice remains a central theme throughout a nursing career, with its origins dating back to Florence Nightingale, the pioneer of modern nursing. Nightingale collected data and established a connection between unhygienic conditions and declining health, a concept that remains relevant today. Over the past century, advancements in technology and human ingenuity have led to solutions that were unimaginable just 50 years ago. Many diseases have been conquered, countless lives saved, and the pursuit of improved healthcare solutions continues. Evidence-based practice in nursing underscores the notion that medical practices should evolve continually based on an ongoing cycle of evidence, theory, and research. Changes in practice stimulate further research, and the theories arising from that research serve as evidence to drive additional improvements in practice

They are designed to enhance the delivery of drugs through the skin (transdermal delivery) or other biological barriers. Transferosomes are composed of phospholipids, similar to liposomes, but they also contain edge activators such as surfactants or bile salts. These edge activators destabilize the lipid bilayers of the transferosomes, making them more flexible and deformable. This property allows transferosomes to squeeze through narrow pores and penetrate the skin more efficiently. The main advantage of transferosomes is their ability to improve the transdermal delivery of drugs, especially those with poor permeability through the skin. They can encapsulate both hydrophilic (water-soluble) and lipophilic (fat-soluble) drugs, making them suitable for a wide range of therapeutic compounds.When applied to the skin, transferosomes can fuse with the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, and release the encapsulated drug into the underlying layers.
