Authors: Quadri Salisu Temitope , Bukola Moronkeji Olamide
Published: October 2022

The study examine the impact of electricity consumption on manufacturing output in Nigeria of 1980 tо 2021. Different diagnostic test was carried out which include descriptive statistics, correlation, unit root test and Autoregressive Distributed Lag. Descriptive statistics was used to examine if the explanatory variables and the dependent variable exhibit time varying volatility and leptokurtosis characteristics. The АRDL bоunds tеstіng рrосеdurе revealed that in the long-run, labour, capital and electricity consumption are the only variables that determine manufacturing output in Nigeria but inflation and interest rate has negative insignificant effect on manufacturing output in Nigeria. Also in the short-run, the variables that determine manufacturing output are electricity consumption, labour, gross fixed capital formation and electricity production but electricity production has a negative significant effect on manufacturing output in Nigeria. The study therefore recommend that Government privatization policy of the electricity sub-sector should be highly monitored to provide enough electricity generation and consumption to encourage mass employment of a skilled and unskilled labour in the economy.

Published: October 2022

Aim
To study the perceptions of critical care nurses in using digital learning material in a multi-speciality hospital in India, with objectives to fulfil the primary objective as converting the classroom teaching modules into digital format and secondary objective was to identify the research gap of understanding the effectiveness of technology based (e-tools) tools for Continuous Nursing Education compared to Traditional classroom training.
Methodology:
Experimental, Case Control method study was done among nursing manpower from the Intensive care units of a multi-speciality tertiary care teaching hospital with 220 Intensive care beds. Non-Probability convenience sampling was taken with 335 nurses as experimental group and 335 participants who chose to attend the traditional training class formed the control group. A single training program was instituted on blood transfusion practices.
Results
It is seen that in the control group, the percentage increase in median scores was 11.8%, whereas experimental group had median score of 17.7%. The maximum improvement in at least one participant in the control group was 31.5% while in the experimental group it was 36.5%.
Conclusion
Digital educational technologies are vastly been embraced in nursing education. The digital platforms provide great amount of independence to the learner, utility of theoretical knowledge can be improved through virtual learning environments. This study reinforces the introductory experiences that our nursing personnel had, which prompts the administration to reduce the training costs.
Effect of surgeon case volume on major surgical complications for abdominal and laparoscopic radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer in China, 2004-2016: A retrospective cohort study
Authors: Liang Cong , Li Weili , Liu Xiaoyun , Zhao Hongwei , Yin Lu , Li Mingwei , Guo Yu , Lang Jinghe , Bin Xiaonong , Liu Ping , Chen Chunlin
Published: October 2022

Background
To date, there are few studies that have investigated the association between surgeon volume and outcomes of radical hysterectomy. To examine changes in surgeon volume over time and evaluate the influence of surgeon volume on complications of abdominal and laparoscopic radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer.
Methods
We conducted a population-based retrospective study using the Major Surgical Complications of Cervical Cancer in China (MSCCCC) database to collect the data of patients who underwent radical hysterectomy from 2004–2016 at 42 hospitals. Patients were stratified into tertiles according to annualized surgeon volume. The influence of the surgeon volume of abdominal and laparoscopic radical hysterectomy on surgical complications was examined using multivariable logistic regression models.
Results
A total of 22,684 patients who underwent radical hysterectomy were identified. In the abdominal surgery cohort, the mean surgeon case volume increased from 3.5 cases in 2004 to 8.7 cases in 2013 and then decreased to 4.9 cases in 2016. The number of surgeons performing laparoscopic radical hysterectomy increased from 1 surgeon with 1 patient (mean cases = 1) in 2004 to 183 surgeons who operated on 2,206 patients in 2016 (mean cases = 12.1) (P < 0.01). In the abdominal surgery cohort, patients treated by intermediate-volume surgeons had more postoperative complications (OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.11–2.15). In the laparoscopic surgery cohort, surgeon volume had no independent effect on intraoperative or postoperative complications (P = 0.46; P = 0.13).
Conclusions
The performance of ARH by intermediate-volume surgeons is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications. However, surgeon volume may have little effect on intraoperative or postoperative complications after LRH.
Meta-path Discovering based Recommendation Model via Heterogeneous Graph Neural Networks
Authors: Sastry Sandhini , Goh Shankar , Leung Kristine , Fischer Michelle
Published: October 2022

In the era of information explosion, information overload has become a challenge for people to find information that interests them. Recommendation systems, as a kind of information filtering system, can understand users’ interests based on their personal data or historical behavior records, and are widely used in Web applications such as e-commerce, search, and streaming websites. However, traditional GNN-based recommendation algorithms can only handle regular topological graphs composed of a single type of nodes, while the data in today’s network is not composed of only a single type of nodes. In addition, traditional GNNs only fuse the first-order neighborhood features of nodes and cannot obtain the deeper structural relationships of nodes in the network. Therefore, when the data set is sparse and each node has only a very small number of neighbors, the recommendation quality of the traditional GNNbased recommendation algorithm decreases significantly. Heterogeneous graph neural networks provide new directions and ideas for recommendation research, and bring new challenges to data mining methods of heterogeneous graphs. Although the recommendation algorithm based on heterogeneous graph neural network is mainly based on the similarity of meta-paths, this method cannot effectively extract and utilize the rich structural and semantic information in heterogeneous graphs for recommendation, although the performance of the recommendation model can be improved by using the similarity of meta-paths. We proposed a joint multi-feature representation of information in heterogeneous information networks. For both user/item interaction and user socialization domains, the representation of node features in the case of sparse network connectivity is enhanced by using multi-order topological structure information in heterogeneous information networks. A graph neural network recommendation method oriented to attention mechanism is proposed. The recommendation quality of the recommendation model is enhanced in the case of sparse scoring matrix through the effective fusion of multidimensional representation vectors of users, items, ratings, and social. By conducting experiments on multiple public data sets, it is verified that the recommendation performance of our model in this paper significantly better than the baseline methods.

This paper aims to explore the possibility of identifying retailer segments. Data is the foundation of segmentation that helps identify the critical value drivers, select the appropriate engagement level and decide the retailer engagement. This study proposes a new approach that considers two-stage clustering for retailer segmentation and behavioural analysis among building materials companies in Indonesia. The alignment could provide a practical managerial approach to finding competitive advantage and a better understanding of sales opportunities. Retailer segmentation can be done differently from the most relevant sales perspective. In this study, we propose an alternative method for retailer segmentation based on two-stage clustering. First, segmentation is based on three categories of the size of order: a very potential group of customers in which the order size is large, a middle group and a group where the order size is small. Second, segmentation based on personal value is a relational perspective that considers the behavioural analysis from the manufacturer-retailer relationship.

Distinctions between Russian and Overseas Approaches to Researching Agro-Industrial Value Chains
Authors: Leonenko N. S.
Published: October 2022

Agro-industrial value chains are studied poorly in Russia, in spite of the potential of the Russian agricultural industry. At present its export consists mainly of agricultural raw materials, which are processed in finished products by other countries, which get added value. It means rather low positions in international trade. In the field of researching agro-industrial value chains Russia still takes initial stages. The major part of Russian research deal with revising of overseas colleagues’ results. In comparison with foreign research these investigations cover a limited range of problems and study only occasionally other territories besides Russia and adjoining countries. To be used for applied purposes Russian research need deeper mathematic calculations: today such research, as a rule, shows statistic information on added value in a visual way, for example, demonstrates the Russia’s position in global agro-industrial value chains. Unfortunately, Russian investigations very seldom show in quantitative manner the potential effect of increasing integration of Russia in agro-industrial chains and identify lines, where this integration is necessary.

Authors: Brizhanin V. V. , Filippova R. V. , Sudarikova E. V. , Sudarikov M. D.
Published: October 2022

The issue of growth in greenhouse emissions to the atmosphere is the most principle challenge of our century. Adverse after-effects of climate change require harmonization of global tasks dealing with climate protection and human activity. The article grounds the necessity to cut greenhouse gas emissions and shows our possibilities in this field. The authors study and analyze legislative initiatives and economic tools of the low-carbon development in Russia. The article shows risks for sustainable development of national economy, which are feasible in case climate agenda is ignored. It was proved that introduction of obligatory reporting on greenhouse emissions and business urge towards standards in three categories ESG – assessment (social, managerial and ecological) can directly impact eco-innovation development, green technologies and motivate home organizations to introduce such innovation. The authors put forward a technological solution on system intensification of search, working-out and introduction of eco-innovation aimed at lowering the amount of greenhouse emissions to home industry. The proposed digital service on devising and introducing scientific and technological projects and ecological technologies could cut enterprises’ pay for greenhouse gas quotas and later increase proceeds of commercial work. Finally, conclusions were made that in Russia necessary conditions were created for development and introduction into industry technological solutions, which possess positive social, ecological and economic effects for enterprise upgrading and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Inhibitors of Ras-Transformation
Authors: Sugita Kenji , Ohtani Mitsuaki
Published: October 2022

Ras-oncogene is now thought to be one of the most important oncogenes which is evidenced in the correlation with human cancers. Point mutation in ras-gene correlates with transformation caused by ras and is found in human cancers with high frequency, such as 90% in pancreatic cancer, 50% in colon cancer and 30% in lung cancer. Ras (product of ms-oncogene) has GTPase activity and loses its activity with point mutation, leading to transformation. Active GTP-binding form of Ras is a key molecule of signal transduction in cell growth, differentiation and transformation.
Inhibitors of ms-transformation will be good candidates of anti-cancer agents. Although many inhibitors of ras­ transformation have been reported up to now including macromolecules (genes, nucleotides, antibodies), we summarize the small-molecule compounds, which inhibit ms-transformation in direct or indirect manner in this review. Direct inhibitors of ras include inhibitors of farnesylation of Ras. Farnesyltransferase inhibitors (L- 744,832, etc) include peptidomimetics with the rational drug design for C-terminus of Ras and natural products. Inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase (Lovastatin, etc) which block cholesterol metabolism, inhibit farnesylation of Ras by decreasing the amount of the substrate of farnesyltransferase (Frase). Indirect inhibitors of ras with known mechanisms include the inhibitor of inositol monophosphate (IMP) dehydrogenase (oxanosine), the inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPK kinase)(PD98059), the inhibitor of MAPK (apigenin), the inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC) (UCN- 01, etc), the inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (Pl3K) (Wortmannin and L-294002), the inducer of the transcription factor JunD (oxamflatin) and the inhibitors of histone deacetylase [trichostatin A (TSA) and trapoxins]. Almost all compounds are now under development, and will be evaluated in clinical studies as anticancer agents.

Authors: Beqaj Zhjeqi Valbona , Kundi Michael , Neziri Ahmetaj Luljeta , Shahini Mimoza , Ahmetaj Halil , Krasniqi Shaip
Published: October 2022

Background:

Bronchial asthma is a chronic disease recognized as an important public health issue worldwide, causing a major global health burden. Due to its complex nature and varying characteristics, asthma has been a great challenge for public health.

Objective:

This article aims to determine the relationship between asthma severity and mental well-being among children with asthma in Kosovo.

Methods:

In a cross-sectional study conducted in 13 hospitals and outpatient clinics covering all areas of Kosovo, children with asthma aged 7 to 16 years were enrolled. Children and parents answered a questionnaire about socio-demographic characteristics and the Children Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Asthma severity was assessed according to the GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma) guidelines and categorized into two levels (IMPA, intermittent and mild persistent asthma; MSPA, moderate and severe persistent asthma).

Results:

Overall, 161 children with asthma and their caregivers were included. Strengths and difficulties questionnaire showed borderline or abnormal scores in about ¼ of children. A comparison of asthma severity groups for the different scales of the SDQ showed a statistically significant increase in emotional problems (p=0.009).

Conclusion:

Diminished mental health and emotional problems are relevant in children with a more severe course of the disease and should be taken into account in counseling parents and patients.
Nutritional Value of Lunches Served in The Remote Rural Area Child-Care Centers in Chiang Mai, Thailand
Authors: Wungrath Jukkrit , Yutabootr Sidapan , Limvilai Takdanai , Kapheak Krissana
Published: October 2022

Introduction:

Child-care centers (CCCs) typically offer lunch to preschool children. The nutritional composition of lunches served in remote rural area CCCs was compared with 40% of the recommended Thai dietary reference intake (DRI) for children aged 3 to 5 years.

Methods:

Nine CCCs in Chiang Dow district, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand, were selected for the study. Lunch content was evaluated by weighing each food item served to children on two consecutive days. Nutrients were determined by the INMUCAL nutritional analysis software version 3.0. Average nutrient content of the lunches was compared with 40% of the recommended Thai DRI using a one-sample t-test.

Results:

Average nutrients in lunches served in CCCs in Chiang Dow district, Chiang Mai Province, did not meet 40% of the daily DRI nutritional recommendations. The lunches were statistically deficient in energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat, dietary fiber, iron, vitamin B1 and calcium. The cholesterol content was significantly higher than the daily DRI recommendations, while vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin C and iron contents were comparable with DRI recommended levels (p<0.05).

Conclusion:

CCC lunches in remote rural areas did not meet 40% of the daily Thai DRI nutritional recommendations. Lunch menus served in CCCs must be improved to provide appropriate nutrients and ensure the healthy growth and development of preschool children.

briefly reviewed based on the systemic description by A.R. Luria, one of the founders
of neuropsychology. The ability of the brain, i.e., to represent reality in a spacetime
manner and to construct objects of a totality of elementary sensations, has been
analyzed. Extrasensory perception abilities of the brain as well as the potential
involvement of brain structures in quantum interactions have been discussed.

In systems science, the category of goal is restored in its rights. However, the current studies are mainly confined to closed systems and are of an object-based character although the teleological principle, defining a system, is inapplicable to the object. The issues associated with the possibility of the subject to be included in systems analysis are discussed as well as the approaches to the research into evolutionary processes in open systems. In addition to this, the problems in a subjectbased approach in psychosemantics and quantum physics are considered.

Published: October 2022

Various online learning models were applied during the COVID-19 pandemic, ranging from simply using communication applications, to those using learning systems or a combination of both. The majority think that online learning must be done face-to-face, even though online. In each meeting, it is usually equipped with material sharing, exercises or even video tutorials. Students have extensive opportunities to communicate with lecturers, either during scheduled meetings or outside of schedules. Although the learning process will be returned to normal due to the end of the pandemic, the online learning experience for two years has given a distinct impression to students and lecturers. There is a desire to maintain it as a distraction from classroom learning. Blended learning, namely the learning process in the classroom interspersed with online learning is the right choice. The study program and lecturers must jointly make an agreement to determine the material and portion size between offline and online learning, as well as monitor and evaluate its implementation. The quality of the output must be able to be maintained or even improved through this blended learning process.
A minha experiência de confinamento: análise de narrativas biográficas de jovens em transição para a vida adulta e para o ensino superior

Published: October 2022

This paper draws on the confinement experiences of 43 young first-year undergraduate students of Economics and Management at Católica Porto Business School and examines the transition pro-cesses to adulthood and higher education during the pandemic and physical and social isolation. Biographical narratives written by the students revealed that the context of such transitions was profusely significant, mainly regarding rituals that mark entry into adulthood and higher education. Students found the lack of 18th birthday parties, prom and senior trips particularly distressing and saddening experiences. However, participants in the study are typically well-off young people leading comfortable material conditions and went through confinement without any material ordeal. That may explain why they identified the loss of leisure and recreational activities as the pandem-ic’s darkest side.
A importância das Redes Digitais no engajamento político dos jovens da Universidade do Porto: Reflexão sobre a atividade e presença da política em Portugal
Authors: Piantavinha Luigi
Published: October 2022

e impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution with the digitization of the world and the internet of things is notorious in the layer of postmodern society. Mobile phones, for example, have changed the way people interact and communicate with others in public space (Abdel-Aziz et al., 2016). These digital tools are often used to keep users informed about events and news, either by broa-dcasting them on public screens or made availa-ble to them over wireless networks anytime and anywhere as shown by Abdel-Aziz (2016). This is especially popular among young people, as shown by Eurostat (2022), in 2021, 95% of young people in the European Union use the internet every day. Digital media also have a profound influence on others in the success of social movements (Kluse-ner, 2018), as seen in movements like #Blackslive-matter or even the Yellow Vests Movement. Now, within this context, we sought to understand how social media platforms can be related to the enga-gement and political presence of young people. For this, we examined the presence of politics in the daily life of this population to be able to induce the weight of this factor in political engagement. Based on data collected from interviews carried out with a sample of 84 university students in Portugal, we analysed their political consumption habits (both in the medium of digital and traditio-nal media) and their opinions on political activism. The impact of the internet and digital media was found not to have a strong relationship with poli-tical engagement, which actually revealed a pre--existing trend: the low participation of young Por-tuguese people in politics, as shown by Accornero e Ramos Pinto (2015). Of those who have some political presence in their daily lives, most are indi-rectly - with the television news in the background - and very few actively seek it. Within this group, digital is the main means of political search.
Critical thinking assessment in the teaching of writing Indonesian scientific texts in high school
Authors: Rustam Rustam , Priyanto Priyanto
Published: October 2022

The assessment of critical thinking in the teaching of Bahasa Indonesia is an essential part of teaching syntax because most Bahasa Indonesia teachers of high schools in Jambi still use objective test assessments or low-order thinking skills (LOTS). In fact, there are still many Bahasa Indonesia teachers of high schools in Jambi who have not implemented HOTS-based assessment, so the teaching process and learning outcomes of writing HOTS-based scientific texts are still low. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to study the critical thinking assessments in writing Indonesian scientific texts in high school to find authentic and contextual assessment designs to achieve learning objectives. The research method used is a mixed method of the concurrent embedded design. The qualitative data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, while the quantitative data were collected by using an essay test. The results of the study indicate that Indonesian language teachers have designed critical thinking assessments in writing scientific texts by conducting basic competency (BC) analysis, analyzing competency achievement indicators (CAI) by considering action verbs (AV), making stimuli, making question grids, constructing question criteria, and scoring by considering critical thinking aspects, including (1) focus, (2) supporting reasons, (3) organization, (4) conventions, and (5) integration. Student learning outcomes in writing scientific texts show good critical thinking competence in accordance with learning objectives.

This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of the English medium instruction (EMI) program at Harapan Ibu Islamic Elementary School in the academic year of 2020/2021 by applying the CIPP model with a descriptive qualitative method. Data were gathered through interviews with stakeholders, observation of the teaching-learning process using EMI, and documentation. The results of the evaluation are as follows: the suitability of the program context to the expectations of stakeholders is considered very good. As seen from the information on the use of English as the medium of instruction, stakeholders know and agree with the program's implementation; the program's input is considered good. The program is regarded as good because it has adequate and good facilities, infrastructure, and standardized quality. The program's process is regarded as good, as indicated by the interaction between teachers and students using English as well as learning evaluations using English as the medium of instruction. The products of the program (output and outcome) are considered very good as shown by students' academic achievements above the minimum mastery criteria, students' non-academic achievements in the form of achievements in English language competitions, alumni's academic achievements in the form of their junior high school learning outcomes above the minimum mastery criteria, and the non-academic performance of the alumni in the form of ease of learning adjustment and their  confidence in junior high school.

When Infodemic Meets Epidemic: A Systematic Literature Review (Preprint)
Authors: Asaad Chaimae , Khaouja Imane , Ghogho Mounir , Baïna Karim
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND

Epidemics and outbreaks present arduous challenges requiring both individual and communal efforts. Social media sites offer significant amounts of data that can be leveraged for bio-surveillance. They also provide a platform to quickly and efficiently reach a sizeable percentage of the population, hence their potential impact on various aspects of epidemic mitigation.

OBJECTIVE

The general objective of this systematic literature review is to provide a methodical overview of the integration of social media in different epidemic-related contexts.

METHODS

Three research questions were conceptualized for this review, resulting in over 10000 publications collected in the first PRISMA stage, 129 of which were selected for inclusion. A thematic method-oriented synthesis was undertaken and identified 5 main themes related to social media enabled epidemic surveillance, misinformation management, and mental health.

RESULTS

Findings uncover a need for more robust applications of the lessons learned from epidemic post-mortem documentation. A vast gap exists between retrospective analysis of epidemic management and result integration in prospective studies.

CONCLUSIONS

Harnessing the full potential of social media in epidemic related tasks requires streamlining the results of epidemic forecasting, public opinion understanding and misinformation propagation, all while keeping abreast of potential mental health implications. Pro-active prevention has thus become vital for epidemic curtailment and containment.
