Introduction: COVID-19 vaccine booster doses are additionally recommended to broaden the immunological response towards the disease. Conversely, COVID-19 vaccine booster hesitancy was noticed among the Sri Lankan population. Therefore, this study attempted to investigate the knowledge and attitude towards booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Objectives: To determine the knowledge, attitude, and hesitancy towards booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine among the undergraduate population in the Colombo district.

Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 385 undergraduates in the Colombo district using a convenient sampling technique. Data were collected using a pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire. SPSS version 25 was used for the analysis of the study.

Results: Among the total participants (n=385), most respondents had good knowledge (n=198, 51.4%) regarding COVID-19. However, most participants had a neutral attitude (n=156, 40.5%) toward the COVID-19 vaccine. More than half of the participants (n=204, 53%) hesitated about the booster dose. The major factor identified for booster hesitancy was the fear of the side effects (n=119, 50.2%) whilst the least factor was the belief in the ineffectiveness of the booster doses (n=15, 6.3%).

Conclusion: Most of the respondents had good knowledge regarding COVID-19. However, many participants had a neutral attitude toward the COVID-19 booster dose. One of the major reasons for booster hesitancy was the fear of side effects of the vaccine. In this regard, imparting knowledge and increasing good behavioural change toward COVID-19 booster dose is the best solution to reduce hesitancy.
N-Boc-Amino Acid Mediated Morita-Baylis Hillman reaction of methylphenyl glyoxylate
Authors: KOZ Gamze , COŞKUN Nejdet
Published: November 2023

The organocatalyzed Morita-Baylis Hillman (MBH) reaction of α-keto esters is a challenging carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction. We developed a catalytic system for the MBH reaction of methylphenyl glyoxylate with methyl vinyl ketone in a polar aprotic solvent. We used N-Boc-L-pipecolinic acid as a proton transfer mediator and 4-dimethylaminopyridine as the tertiary amine catalyst. We obtained the MBH adduct with a 66% yield in 48h. We proposed a detailed reaction mechanism involving a transition state that includes the hydrogen transfer by the acid functional group of N-Boc-L-pipecolinic acid.

Authors: Galuk Mariana Bianchini , Zen Aurora Carneiro , Zen Aurora Carneiro , Schmidt Vitor Klein , BITTENCOURT BRUNO ANICET
Published: November 2023

Clusters are considered sources of competitive advantage. Cluster is understood as a set of resources; however, it is noted that these resources vary according to their trajectory. Thus, this paper seeks to analyze the relationship between shared resources in the life cycle of the cluster. We conducted a cross-country study with two clusters in footwear industry: Brazil and Italy. We present two main contributions. First, the competitiveness of clusters is sustained by their ability to renew and change their dependent trajectory. Second, we propose five elements that positively influence cluster competitiveness. These elements also help us understand the trajectory of clusters.
An Investigation of New Brown Dwarf Spectral Binary Candidates From the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 Citizen Science Initiative

Published: November 2023

We present three new brown dwarf spectral-binary candidates: CWISE J072708.09−360729.2, CWISE J103604.84−514424.4, and CWISE J134446.62−732053.9, discovered by citizen scientists through the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project. Follow-up near-infrared spectroscopy shows that each of these objects is poorly fit by a single near-infrared standard. We constructed binary templates and found significantly better fits, with component types of L7+T4 for CWISE J072708.09−360729.2, L7+T4 for CWISE J103604.84−514424.4, and L7+T7 for CWISE J134446.62−732053.9. However, further investigation of available spectroscopic indices for evidence of binarity and large amplitude variability suggests that CWISE J072708.09−360729.2 may instead be a strong variability candidate. Our analysis offers tentative evidence and characterization of these peculiar brown dwarf sources, emphasizing their value as promising targets for future high-resolution imaging or photometric variability studies.
Properties Underlying the Variation of the Magnetic Field Spectral Index in the Inner Solar Wind
Authors: McIntyre J. R. , Chen C. H. K. , Larosa A.
Published: November 2023

Using data from orbits 1−11 of the Parker Solar Probe mission, the magnetic field spectral index was measured across a range of heliocentric distances. The previously observed transition between a value of −5/3 far from the Sun and a value of −3/2 close to the Sun was recovered, with the transition occurring at around 50 R
⊙ and the index saturating at −3/2 as the Sun is approached. A statistical analysis was performed to separate the variation of the index on distance from its dependence on other parameters of the solar wind that are plausibly responsible for the transition, including the cross helicity, residual energy, turbulence age, and magnitude of magnetic fluctuations. Of all parameters considered, the cross helicity was found to be by far the strongest candidate for the underlying variable responsible. The velocity spectral index was also measured and found to be consistent with −3/2 over the range of values of cross helicity measured. Possible explanations for the behavior of the indices are discussed, including the theorized different behavior of imbalanced, compared to balanced, turbulence.
Sleep Disturbances Associated With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Authors: So Christine J. , Miller Katherine E. , Gehrman Philip R.
Published: November 2023

Sleep disturbances, namely insomnia and recurrent nightmares, are ubiquitous following trauma exposure and are considered hallmarks of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Other sleep disorders frequently co-occur with PTSD. This article describes research examining sleep problems most common in PTSD, including prevalence and clinical characteristics. Sleep disturbances are often robust to trauma-focused treatment; thus, evidence for psychological and pharmacological interventions for insomnia and nightmares in PTSD are discussed. Given the high prevalence of sleep problems in PTSD, more work is needed to empirically study putative mechanisms linking trauma exposure and sleep, as well as how to best target these symptoms in patients with PTSD.

Leveraging Contemporary Digital Technologies to Monitor and Treat Sleep Difficulties in Bipolar Disorder: A Review
Authors: Boccagno Chelsea , Gold Alexandra K. , Temes Christina M. , Alvarez-Hernandez Antonietta , Sylvia Louisa G.
Published: November 2023

Sleep disturbances (eg, insomnia, hypersomnia, poor sleep quality) are a prominent feature of bipolar disorder (BD). Furthermore, sleep difficulties are present across all phases of BD, including euthymia, and these difficulties contribute to the risk and maintenance of depressive and (hypo)manic episodes. Although existing pharmacological and psychosocial treatments offer hope for ameliorating sleep difficulties in BD, conventional treatments are limited in their ability to accurately capture detailed sleep patterns, detect early onset of sleep difficulties, and deliver personalized interventions. Widely accessible contemporary digital technologies show promise for mitigating these limitations and advancing sleep treatment for individuals with BD. We summarize and synthesize research examining the use of three digital tools for sleep assessment and intervention in BD: smartphone applications, ecological momentary assessment, and actigraphy. We also discuss the benefits, risks, and limitations of these technologies.

Substance Use Disorders and Sleep
Authors: Fipps David C. , Sinha Shirshendu
Published: November 2023

There appears to be a significant bidirectional relationship between substance use and sleep disturbances. Sleep disturbances with or without a primary psychiatric disorder can increase the risk of emergence or relapse of substance use disorder. Conversely, both short-and long-term use of substances could lead to acute and chronic disturbances in sleep. This narrative review describes the existing literature on the bidirectional relationships between sleep disturbances and substance use in the context of alcohol, opioid, cannabis, tobacco, methamphetamine, and cocaine use.

Mathematical model to investigate transmission dynamics of COVID-19 with vaccinated class
Authors: Jeelani Mdi Begum , Alnahdi Abeer S , Din Rahim Ud , Alrabaiah Hussam , Sultana Azeem
Published: November 2023

The susceptible, exposed, infected, quarantined and vaccinated (SEIQV) population is accounted for in a mathematical model of COVID-19. This model covers the therapy for diseased people as well as therapeutic measures like immunization for susceptible people to enable understanding of the dynamics of the disease's propagation. Each of the equilibrium points, i.e., disease-free and endemic, has been proven to be globally asymptotically stable under the assumption that $ \mathscr{R}_0 $ is smaller or larger than unity, respectively. Although vaccination coverage is high, the basic reproduction number depends on the vaccine's effectiveness in preventing disease when $ \mathscr{R}_0 > 0 $. The Jacobian matrix and the Routh-Hurwitz theorem are used to derive the aforementioned analysis techniques. The results are further examined numerically by using the standard second-order Runge-Kutta (RK2) method. In order to visualize the global dynamics of the aforementioned model, the proposed model is expanded to examine some piecewise fractional order derivatives. We may comprehend the crossover behavior in the suggested model's illness dynamics by using the relevant derivative. To numerical present the results, we use RK2 method.
The Relationship Between Psychosocial Factors and Student Success in Athletic Training Students
Authors: Clason Brittany A. , Yukhymenko-Lescroart Mariya A. , Sailor Scott R. , Wandeler Christian
Published: November 2023

Context

Many athletic training programs are not meeting accreditation standards involving measures of student success, causing programs to be noncompliant with these standards and showing current and prospective students that their program may not prepare them for a successful career. Studies have shown that psychosocial factors, including psychological needs and measures of student motivation, may be related to student success.

Objective

To examine the relationships between psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness), measures of student motivation (controlled and autonomous motivation, self-efficacy, and academic and athletic trainer identity), and measures of student success (persistence, intention to leave, perceived academic performance, and grade point average [GPA]) in athletic training students.

Design

Cross-sectional.

Setting

Entry-level master’s athletic training programs.

Patients or Other Participants

Ninety-seven current entry-level master’s athletic training students who held a noncertified student National Athletic Trainers’ Association membership in 2020.

Data Collection and Analysis

Responses to surveys were estimated using a path model, in which 4 measures of student success were specified to be predicted by psychological needs directly and indirectly through measures of student motivation.

Results

Persistence was positively predicted by autonomy and autonomous motivation. Intention to leave was positively predicted by controlled motivation. Perceived academic performance was positively predicted by competence and autonomous motivation. Finally, GPA was predicted positively by academic identity and negatively by athletic trainer identity. Findings also showed an indirect relationship between competence and GPA through academic identity. Overall, findings showed that autonomy, competence, autonomous motivation, and academic identity were important predictors of student success.

Conclusion(s)

Athletic training students should be provided opportunities to practice athletic training skills and knowledge and to make choices regarding patient care in real-life situations and regarding their learning environment. These opportunities for independence may result in greater autonomy, competence, autonomous motivation, and academic identity, and, in turn, greater student success.
Case Report: Snake Venom Ophthalmia Caused by Cobra Exposure: A Report of 26 Cases

Published: November 2023

We report 26 cases of eye injuries resulting from cobra venom sprayed by Naja atra. This accounts for 14.5% of patients (26/173) treated for cobra injuries who presented to the emergency department of a snakebite treatment center in Guangzhou, South China. Pain, blurred vision, lacrimation, photophobia, and foreign body sensation were the most common symptoms, found in 24 patients. Ophthalmic examination revealed eyelid swelling and conjunctival congestion. Eye slit lamp examination showed obvious punctate corneal epithelial defects in four patients. Five patients received an intravenous infusion of antivenom. All patients’ eyes were rinsed completely with normal saline after their arrival at the hospital. Prophylactic topical antibiotics were given to all patients. All eyes were cured without long-term sequelae.
The epistemology of disagreement
Authors: Croce Michel
Published: November 2023

The epistemology of disagreement studies the epistemically relevant aspects of the interaction between parties who hold diverging opinions about a given subject matter. The central question that the epistemology of disagreement purports to answer is how the involved parties should resolve an instance of disagreement. Answers to this central question largely depend on the epistemic position of each party before disagreement occurs. Two parties are equally positioned from an epistemic standpoint – namely, they are epistemic peers – to the extent that they have roughly equal access to the evidence and comparable intellectual resources. When one party is epistemically better positioned than the other – that is, when one is an epistemic superior – it is widely agreed that this party should retain their belief while the other party – the epistemic inferior – should revise their opinion in the direction of what the epistemic superior believes.

Addressing the central question is a complex task when the disagreeing parties are epistemic peers. Three main answers can be distinguished. Conciliatory answers mandate that both parties revise – i.e. lower their confidence in – their beliefs upon the occurrence of peer disagreement. Steadfast answers allow both parties to retain their respective beliefs, thereby committing them to demote the epistemic position of the interlocutor. The third group of answers suggests that the solution to peer disagreement depends on whether either party is highly justified in holding their belief. If either party is highly justified, then it is rational that this party retains its view. If neither party is highly justified, both should revise.

The epistemology of disagreement addresses further important questions such as: whether the occurrence of disagreement opens the doors to scepticism and/or relativism; what the consequences of epistemic disagreement on intellectual character are; what laypeople should do when experts disagree with each other; and whether disagreement among groups can be treated in the same way as disagreement among individuals.
Computer simulations in science
Authors: Beisbart Claus
Published: November 2023

Since the advent of digital computers around 1950, the method of computer simulation (simulation, for short) has enriched the repertoire of scientific methods. A computer simulation traces the dynamical behaviour of a target system by evaluating a (possibly partial and approximate) solution to a model. Philosophers of science have clarified the concept of computer simulation and its subcategories, analysed the justification of simulation results, explained the power and limitations of simulations, and explored their broader significance for science.
Kim Iryŏp (1896–1971)
Authors: Park Jin Y.
Published: November 2023

Philosophy and women have been an odd couple. In both the East and the West, thought traditions have been dominated by male thinkers. Buddhism is no exception. The discriminatory treatment of women in Buddhism not only violates the idea of equality, it conflicts with foundational Buddhist doctrines. Buddhism claims that nothing in the world has a permanent and independent essence. Beings exist through multi-layered interactions. If they do not have pre-given sustainable essences but exist through causes and conditions, treating gender as a justification for discrimination and for disqualifying women from enlightenment should be self-contradictory. Such a practice in Buddhist tradition, however, does not mean that the fundamental teachings of Buddhism are patriarchal or contradict women’s search for authentic identity and liberation (Gross 1992).

Kim Iryŏp (1896–1971), a female thinker and Buddhist nun in modern Korea, understood Buddhist teaching and practice as one of the main sources for her search for freedom. Through her proposals of the great self, creativity, and cultivation, Iryŏp promoted the idea that an individual being, either human or nonhuman, has an infinite capacity for transformation, which is a manifestation of her idea of freedom. Through the narration of her life story in her Buddhist philosophy, Iryŏp offers us a unique form of philosophising based on daily experiences instead of the dominant form of Western, male-oriented, and rationality focused philosophy.
Buddhist logic
Authors: Tanaka Koji
Published: November 2023

Buddhist philosophers have investigated the techniques and methodologies of debate and argumentation which are important aspects of Buddhist intellectual life. This was particularly the case in India, where Buddhism and Buddhist philosophy originated (see Buddhist philosophy, Indian §4; Epistemology, Indian schools of §1; Knowledge, Indian views of; and Inference, Indian theories of). But these investigations have also engaged philosophers in China, Japan, Korea, and Tibet, and many other parts of the world that have been influenced by Buddhism and Buddhist philosophy (see Buddhist philosophy, Chinese; Buddhist philosophy, Japanese; Buddhist philosophy, Korean; and Tibetan philosophy).

Several elements of the Buddhist tradition of philosophy are thought to be part of this investigation. There are interesting reasoning patterns discernible in the writings of Buddhist philosophers. For instance, the Mādhyamika philosopher Nāgārjuna presents arguments for the emptiness of all things in terms of catuṣkoṭi (four ‘corners’: roughly speaking, truth, false, both, neither). There is also the Indian vāda (debate) literature and the Tibetan bsdus grwa (collected topics), both of which list techniques of debates.

The main interest here is the tradition of Buddhist philosophy, sometimes referred to as Pramāṇavāda, whose central figures are Dignāga (approx. 480–540 CE) and Dharmakīrti (sixth–seventh| century CE) (see Dignāga and Dharmakīrti). This philosophy is understood to be the Buddhist school of logic-epistemology. ‘Pramāṇavāda’ is not a doxographical term traditionally used to refer to a recognised school of Buddhist philosophy. It is a conventional term that is sometimes used in modern literature. Nevertheless, in what follows, we think of it as a tradition within Buddhist philosophy, and ‘Buddhist logic’ refers to what is developed in this tradition.

Buddhist logicians have systematically analysed the kind of reasoning involved in acquiring knowledge. They hold that there are valid ways to reason that are productive of knowledge. In what follows, some of the main elements of their analyses will be described. Note, however, that, while exegetical studies of Buddhist texts are important, we must step back from them and consider what is involved in taking a Buddhist approach to logic in light of modern formal logic. This analysis will be done against the backdrop of the contemporary literature on logic and related subjects in contemporary philosophy to make sense of the logical studies by Buddhist logicians.
Theravāda Buddhist philosophy
Authors: Davis Jake H.
Published: November 2023

The Theravāda Buddhist tradition understands itself as preserving the teachings of the historical Buddha. All of these teachings are said to fit within the four noble truths: the pervasive unease that is referred to as dukkha, the cause of this dukkha, its cessation, and the path leading to this cessation. This path begins with cultivating right view, and for many Theravādin teachers, a foundational aspect of right view is seeing that ultimately there is no self. Interestingly, in the early discourses preserved by the Theravāda as the Buddha’s own teachings, he suggests that both the view that there is no self and the view that there is a self are equally misguided; the reason he gives for seeing all phenomena as non-self (anattā) is that they do not follow our wishes. While there are multiple contrary views of how to interpret such doctrines, Theravādin philosophical texts also contain resources for holding the diversity of possible interpretations in an inclusive way.
Exploring Factors Influencing College Students' Digital Literacy
Authors: Jang Nayoung
Published: November 2023

Digital literacy is an essential competency for living in a digital information society. This study aims to empirically examine variables that influence the digital literacy of college students. To achieve the purpose of this research, a series of hierarchical regression analyses were conducted using survey responses from 292 participants in the 2022 K-NSSE at K university. The analysis revealed that while the variables influencing each sub-factor varied, the following factors had significant effects on the dependent variables: gender, student-faculty interaction, satisfaction with relationships with staff, major field of study, academic self-efficacy, and active learning experiences. The findings of this study provide implications for the design of a curriculum and the creation of educational environments to foster digital literacy.

Published: November 2023

This work aims to construct a DC-DC boost converter that can provide stabilized output in response to input variations in open-loop and closed-loop modes. Several optimization strategies that have easier implementation, higher convergence quality, and more computing power are used to create a suitable controller that can be effectively implemented for DC-DC boost converters. In the presence of R-load, the PID controller parameters are optimized through the use of different optimization techniques to improve the dynamic response of the converter, and to improve the R-load's efficiency by fine-tuning the PID controller's parameters using a variety of optimization techniques. In terms of time domain specifications, including settling time, rise time, peak time, and overshoot, the efficiency of the open loop and closed loop techniques is examined. The research modeling of this technique is done in MATLAB/SIMULINK 2014 platform in terms of various performance metrics.

Data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, observation and documentary review. Quantitative data were analysed using frequency and figures. Qualitative data were subjected to content analyses. The finding revealed that there is no proper mechanism used to retain multi-skilled teachers in the Rungwe district. Provisions of competitive salaries for public secondary school teachers as well as delay of promotion, payment of arrears and solving problems related to salary were also not prioritized by the employer which led to teachers’ frustration and attrition. The provision of induction programmes, sufficient incentives, promotion, and paying arrears as well as competitive salaries contribute to teacher retention. The study suggested that education administrators need to concentrate on improving teachers' earnings, and the teaching environment, managing teachers and informing them about relevant labour terms and conditions of service. The study recommends that education administrators should improve the working environment and fringe benefits for public secondary school teachers. Moreover, research should be conducted on other education sectors such as public primary schools, and public colleges to find out the magnitude of the problem of teacher retention and measures to resolve it. A comparative analysis of districts with teacher retention plans should be made to find out the appropriate model for retaining teachers.
