Exploring Students’ Self-Efficacy and Anxiety Towards Mathematics Problem Solving During Open and Distance Learning (ODL)
Authors: Hamizah Amiruddin Nurul Syahmi , Ahmad Noraini , Mamat Siti Salwana
Published: June 2022

Although mathematics is seen as a crucial precursor to success in modern society, many students still struggle with real mathematical fear. They feel anxious when they engage in solving mathematical problems, especially in the last two years when the learning environment has changed due to the epidemic. One of the affective factors that can influence mathematical anxiety is the beliefs of students about their own ability to resolve issues called self-efficacy. The aim of this research is to explore student self-efficacy and anxiety in solving math problems among high school students during open and distance learning (ODL). The research used a quantitative analytical approach. A survey of 138 students was carried out on forms 1 and 4 at one of the secondary schools in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. The survey follows Diana May's Mathematical Questionnaire on SelfEffectiveness and Anxiety (MSEAQ). The data were analyzed in SPSS using descriptive statistics, an independent sample t-test, and a simple linear regression. The results showed that descriptive statistics had a lower level of self-efficacy and a higher level of mathematical anxiety among Form 1 and Form 4 students. An independent sample t-test revealed no significant difference between lower and upper secondary school students in self-efficacy and anxiety towards mathematics problem solving which means that lower and upper secondary school students can have the same level of mathematics self-efficacy and anxiety. Simple linear regression shows a moderately significant negative linear relationship between mathematics self-efficacy and anxiety. This paper presents an overview of students' self-efficacy and anxiety toward math subjects during secondary school.

The tasks of finding and selecting an accurate computational method that exists to undertake individual characteristics with various computational methods were considered difficult and would take a long completing time. The main objective of this research is to conduct a thorough study involving techniques of various computational methods that normally used in modeling and forecasting real-world problems. This paper presents the comparison results of the computational modeling methods that tested on electricity consumption data of Sarawak Energy Malaysia. The three computational methods compared in this study were Box-Jenkins technique, regression method, and artificial neural network. The models were tested on data collected from Sarawak Energy in Malaysia with regard to electricity consumption by using MATLAB software. The verification of the three methods was done using the computational statistics measurement namely the root means square error and the mean absolute percentage error. The results show that the artificial neural network was the most outperformed technique in generating the accurate prediction.

"In this paper, two subclasses of biholomorphic starlike mappings named Janowski starlike and Janowski almost starlike with complex parameters are introduced and studied. We determine $M$ such that holomorphic mappings $f$ which satisfy the condition $\|Df(z)-I\|\le M$, $z\in B^n$, are Janowski starlike, respectively Janowski almost starlike. We also derive sufficient conditions for normalized holomorphic mappings (expressed in terms of their coefficient bounds) to belong to one of the subclasses of mappings mentioned above."

"Let $P : \CI(M; E) \to \CI(M; F)$ be an order $\mu$ differential operator with coefficients $a$ and $P_k := P : H^{s_0 + k +\mu}(M; E) \to H^{s_0 + k}(M; F)$. We prove polynomial norm estimates for the solution $P_0^{-1}f$ of the form $$\|P_0^{-1}f\|_{H^{s_0 + k + \mu}(M; E)} \le C \sum_{q=0}^{k} \, \| P_0^{-1} \|^{q+1} \,\|a \|_{W^{|s_0|+k}}^{q} \, \| f \|_{H^{s_0 + k - q}},$$ (thus in higher order Sobolev spaces, which amounts also to a parametric regularity result). The assumptions are that $E, F \to M$ are Hermitian vector bundles and that $M$ is a complete manifold satisfying the Fr\'echet Finiteness Condition (FFC), which was introduced in (Kohr and Nistor, Annals of Global Analysis and Geometry, 2022). These estimates are useful for uncertainty quantification, since the coefficient $a$ can be regarded as a vector valued random variable. We use these results to prove integrability of the norm $\|P_k^{-1}f\|$ of the solution of $P_k u = f$ with respect to suitable Gaussian measures."

"We denote by ${\rm Hess}^+(f)$ the set of all points $p\in\mathbb{R}^n$ such that the Hessian matrix $H_p(f)$ of the $C^2$-smooth function $f:\mathbb{R}^n\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is positive definite. In this paper we prove several properties of real-valued functions of several variables by showing the connectedness of their level sets for sufficiently high levels, under the boundedness assumption on the critical set. In the case of three variables we also prove the convexity of the levels surfaces for sufficiently high levels, under the additional boundedness assumption on the ${\rm Hess}^+$ complement. The selection of the {\em a priori} convex levels, among the connected regular ones, is done through the positivity of the Gauss curvature function which ensure an ovaloidal shape of the levels to be selected. The ovaloidal shape of a level set makes a diffeomorphism out of the associated Gauss map. This outcome Gauss map diffeomorphism is then extended to a smooth homeomorphism which is used afterwards to construct one-parameter families of smooth homeomorphisms of Loewner chain flavor. "

Background: Extensively drug-resistant TB is still a serious challenge in India, and before the introduction of new anti-tuberculosis drugs these patients were treated with a conventional regimen for XDR-TB according to the guidelines of RNTCP at that time for almost 24 to 36 months. Objective: To estimate the outcome of treatment of XDR-TB patients attended at our DRTB site and put under the conventional regimen during the period 2014-2017 according to protocol laid down by PMDT at that time i.e. 2014 to 2017.Methods: In this retrospective study, we selected 41 patients admitted with XDR-TB, in our DRTB site from April 2014 to March 2017. We studied their treatment outcomes (cured, treatment completed, treatment failure, death, and treatment after default) 30 to 36 months after treatment initiation according to PMDT (2014 -2017). Results: Among the 41 cases of XDR-TB that were included in the study 28 were male, 30 resided in rural areas and 28 had a BMI < 18.5 kg/m2. 13 (32%) patients were successfully treated but 21 (50%) patients died during the treatment and treatment failure happened in 6 (15%) patients. Patients with low BMI (< 18.5 kg/m2) had poor success rate (7%) and all the 21 patients who died during treatment, had low BMI. Conclusion: The present study finds that only one in every three XDR-TB cases are successfully treated with conventional second-line antitubercular drugs and this finding is the same as found in the NTEP report. Nearly half of the patients die. The patients with low BMI respond worst.

Authors:   ICMR, National Institute of Malaria Research, Dwarka Sector 8, New Delhi, India., Dhiman Ramesh C
Published: June 2022

Background: Vector-borne diseases are climate-sensitive as vectors are poikilothermic. Among climatic factors, temperature is of prime importance as it affects vectors’ development and pathogen transmission as well. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to understand the impact of constant variable temperatures, and indoor versus outdoor temperatures on the survival of An. stephensi and Ae. aegypti and its implication on the transmission of malaria and dengue respectively.Method: Two to three days old laboratory-bred An. stephensi and Ae. Aaegypti female mosquitoes were kept individually in environmental chambers at different temperatures ranging from 32-42 °C and relative humidity i.e. 65-75 ± 5%. Control experiment was set up at 26 °C and 65-75% RH. Kaplan-Meier method was employed for estimation of survival probabilities and log-rank (Mantel-Cox test) for comparison, and Chi-square was determined. The daily recorded temperature was used to calculate extrinsic incubation periods of malaria parasites and dengue virus using Indirect Moshkovsky’s and Oganov-Rayevsky methods, respectively.Results: The Kaplan Meier plots of adult survival revealed that the overall survival of exposed groups significantly decreased with increasing temperature in both the vectors. The median days of survival were found higher in Ae. aegypti than An. stephensi. EIP was shorter in dengue as compared to malaria parasites. Indoor temperature was found to be more conducive for both the pathogens’ transmission. Ae. aegyptiappears more sturdy in terms of thermal tolerance.Conclusion: The potential increase in the faster rate of development of dengue at a higher temperature indicates that with a projected rise in temperatures due to climate change, the transmission of dengue would expand temporally. Further prospective studies are needed in real-time monitoring of temperature and RH in field conditions, vis-a-vis survival of vectors for refinement of the projected scenario of vectors’ survival and/ or disease transmission.

Published: June 2022

Tibb-e-Unani is an integral part of the Indian system of medicine. There are four important modes for the management and treatment of various diseases in Unani medicine, namely, nutrition therapy (Ilaj-bil-Ghiza), cognitional therapy (Ilaj-bit-Tadbeer), medicinal therapy (Ilaj-bil-Dawa) and surgery (Ilaj-bil-Yad). Ilaj-bit-Tadbeer is a treatment modification that involves a degree of change or tweak in the Asbab-e-sitta daruriya (six basic variables) for the well-being of people with disabilities or to prevent diseases in the general population. It incorporates some of the restorative intercessions, for example, Hijamah (cupping therapy), Irsale-Alaq (leech therapy), Fasad (phlebotomy), Dalak (massage), Nutul (irrigation), Abzan (Sitz bath) etc. Among these, Abzan is a novel, basic, protected, non-obtrusive and powerful external therapy. Basically, it is a type of shower where the buttocks and hips are poured into water for remedial purposes. Repeatedly, the entire reproductive system is immersed in water. This procedure is used to reduce inflammation and pain in the lower and upper extremities of the body, such as haemorrhoids, rectal prolapse, uterine spasms, uterine prolapse, pelvic inflammatory disease, irritable bowel syndrome, episiotomy, bladder disease, prostate and vaginal problems etc. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to review the role of sitz bath in various gynaecological diseases.

Background: Research indicates that bullying in the form of verbal, physical, or psychological aggression in clinical settings is a global phenomenon. The study aimed at assessment of the effects of bullying behaviours in clinical placement on self-efficacy and coping strategies among the BSc students of selected nursing colleges in Kashmir.Method: Quantitative descriptive design and non-probability convenience sampling technique were used to collect data from nursing students who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a self-structured inventory for bullying in clinical placement, standardised scales general self-efficacy scale, and Brief COPE Scale. A pilot study was conducted on 21 BSc nursing students studying in 3rdyear and 4th year at BHCNMT Srinagar, Kashmir. The main study was conducted on 210 BSc nursing students studying in 3rd year and 4th year at BHCNMT, MMINSR, and GCN Baghi Dilawar Khanyar Srinagar, Kashmir. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The results revealed that at 0.01 level of significance there was a moderately negative correlation (r = -2.41, p = 0.551) between bullying behaviours and general self-efficacy of the nursing students. Furthermore, findings showed that at 0.01 level of significance, there was a slightly positive correlation (r = 0.290, p = 0.006) between bullying behaviours and the use of dysfunctional coping strategies by nursing students in clinical placement.Conclusion: A better nursing culture should be evolved based on acceptance, patience, and understanding.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are being used increasingly to summarise the literature and identify areas in which research is needed. Systematic reviews limit bias with the use of a reproducible scientific process to search the literature and to evaluate the quality of the individual studies. The primary aim of this article is to review the concept of systematic reviews and meta-analysis, outlining the importance and describing various methods to do systematic reviews with the help of webinars.Method: The pre-experimental research with one group pre-test and post-test research design was adopted for conducting the study at the School of Nursing Science, Sharda University. A total of 220 participants attended the webinar and 159 participants met inclusion criteria. The knowledge questionnaire was made to assess the knowledge of the participants related to the systematic reviews and meta-analysis. The level of satisfaction was assessed using 5-point Likert scale.Results: The results showed that the mean post-test knowledge score (16.90) was significantly higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score (8.10). The calculated “t” test was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05). The participants were found to be 100% satisfied with the webinar.Conclusion: The study concludes that systematic reviews and meta-analysis webinars have proven to be effective in increasing the knowledge as well as the satisfaction levels of the participants.
Local Wound Spray of “Standardised Herbal Antibiotic Extract” on Snakebite Wounds along with Routine Anti Snake Venom Treatment Saves Lives, Limbs and Livelihood of Snakebite Victims in Rural Maharashtra, India - 15 Case Reports as Pilot
Authors:   PI, State Epidemiologist and Snakebite Expert, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India., Bharti Omesh Kumar
Published: June 2022

Background: Globally between 81,000 and 138,000 people around the world die each year from snakebite. Authors noticed that the use of oral/ systematic antibiotics in many snakebite victims failed to heal the snakebite wounds, and either the patients required skin grafting or the bitten part developed necrosis and needed amputation.Objectives: Authors after an extensive literature review thought of neutralising bacteria at the snakebite site by a potent antimicrobial spray, without any side effects.Method: Authors decided to get the antimicrobial profile of herb X and found that it can neutralise the bacteria that are resistant even to the most potent antibiotics available.Results: Herbal extract (234 ml) was prepared for pilot use in snakebite patients. A series of 15 patients were sprayed 2 puffs (7-10 ml) of ready to use herbal spray. None of them developed extensive blisters except the two patients who had mild blisters which resolved subsequently without any deep wound as used to be the case earlier.Conclusion: This pilot project has shown promising results and needs to be applied in more cases in future.
