Published: January 2023

The study objective is to find out the regularity of attractive force change of the friction surfaces of the adaptive friction clutch in order to ensure a particularly high tear-and-wear accuracy. The task to which the paper is devoted is presentation of various analysis and synthesis stages of the control device of the adaptive friction clutch with positive feedback. Research methods: developed and previously applied elements of the theory of adaptive safety friction clutch with positive feedback and full stabilization of limiting torque allow to make a knowledge base of particular mathematical models that locally describe the process of automatic regulation of the control device. Based on the analysis of the applied method of mathematical modeling, it is found out that it is possible to use synthesized structural and functional diagrams of the control device of positive feedback in clutches in order to ensure high accuracy of their operation. The novelty of the work is that ensuring high stabilization of the limiting torque of the adaptive friction clutch with positive feedback is possible because of the control device structure with a variable ratio value of feedback gain. Study results: the use of the control device with a variable ratio value of feedback gain gives the opportunity to provide particularly high stability of the limiting torque of the adaptive friction clutch. Conclusions: in order to ensure a high stability of the limiting torque of the adaptive friction clutch s with a positive feedback, a special construction of the control device has to be installed in accordance with the dependencies found in its parameters.

Authors: Rozhkova Elena
Published: January 2023

The paper objective is to estimate the damage to the automatic coupling device of freight cars in operation. A statistical analysis of auto-coupling breaks on roads and a statistical estimation of nondestructive testing of auto-coupling device parts are carried out. During the analysis, it is found that 68% of breaks occur due to the presence of cracks in the body of the automatic coupler, 60% of breaks of the automatic couplers occur in areas where the track has a slope, including the mountain pass areas and 77% of breaks occur in the train traction mode. The scientific novelty is in obtaining a logarithmically normal law of the crack length distribution in the coupling body and traction clamp during the operation of the car in the overhaul period. The most likely crack formation in the body of the automatic coupling during the operation of the car between scheduled repairs is 41 mm long, in the traction clamp it is 63 mm. The practical significance of the work is in the fact that the obtained results can be used in making recommendations and organization of technical measures to reduce the cases of auto-coupling breaks and increase the quality of repair and maintenance of the auto-coupling device.

The Role of eIF5A1 in LPS-Induced Neuronal Remodeling of the Nucleus Accumbens in the Depression
Authors: Lyu Qiang , Zou Hecun , Luo Li , Liu Wei , He Xiang , Shang Fei-Fei
Published: January 2023

Background: The pathogenesis of depression is complex, with the brain’s reward system likely to play an important role. The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is a key region in the brain that integrates reward signals. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) can induce depressive-like behaviors and enhance neuroplasticity in NAc, but the underlying mechanism is still unknown. We previously found that eukaryotic translation initiation factor A1 (eIF5A1) acts as a ribosome-binding protein to regulate protein translation and to promote neuroplasticity. Methods: In the present study, LPS was administered intraperitoneally to rats and the expression and cellular location of eIF5A1 was then investigated by RT-PCR, Western blotting and immunofluorescence. Subsequently, a neuron-specific lentivirus was used to regulate eIF5A1 expression in vivo and in vitro. Neuroplasticity was then examined by Golgi staining and by measurement of neuronal processes. Finally, proteomic analysis was used to identify proteins regulated by eIF5A1. Results: The results showed that eIF5A1 expression was significantly increased in the NAc neurons of LPS rats. Following the knockdown of eIF5A1 in NAc neurons, the LPS-induced increases in neuronal arbors and spine density were significantly attenuated. Depression-like behaviors were also reduced. Neurite outgrowth of NAc neurons in vitro also increased or decreased in parallel with the increase or decrease in eIF5A1 expression, respectively. The proteomic results showed that eIF5A1 regulates the expression of many neuroplasticity-related proteins in neurons. Conclusions: These results confirm that eIF5A1 is involved in LPS-induced depression-like behavior by increasing neuroplasticity in the NAc. Our study also suggests the brain’s reward system may play an important role in the pathogenesis of depression.

Mutu benih sawit merupakan faktor terpenting yang mempengaruhi produktivitas kelapa sawit. Terjadinya pemalsuan benih sawit atau benih yang tidak bersertifikat akan berdampak buruk bagi perkebunan kelapa sawit Indonesia, karena menyebabkan penurunan produktivitas benih kelapa sawit. Oleh sebab itu diperlukan penentuan titik kritis persyaratan atau tolok ukur untuk meningkatkan produktivitas benih kelapa sawit. Pada SNI 8211:2015 dan beberapa peraturan Kementerian Pertanian terdapat persyaratan atau tolok ukur yang masing-masing memiliki konteks yang mendukung perbaikan mutu benih kelapa sawit. Untuk dapat menentukan titik kritis dari persyaratan atau tolok ukur yang ditetapkan, maka dalam penelitian ini dilakukan penyandingan atau komparasi antara SNI dengan beberapa peraturan Kementerian Pertanian tersebut yang selanjutnya dianalisis dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif. Berdasarkan hasil identifikasi dan analisis, tahapan dalam produksi benih kelapa sawit dibagi menjadi 4 bagian diantaranya tahapan pemuliaan, tahapan reproduksi benih, tahapan pemrosesan benih, dan tahapan pengecambahan benih. Dari masing-masing tahapan tersebut diperoleh titik kritis persyaratan atau tolok ukur yaitu pada tahapan pemuliaan terdapat 4 parameter kritis seperti pembentukan populasi dasar, prosedur pemuliaan, pengujian progeni, dan kriteria seleksi persilangan. Pada tahapan reproduksi benih terdapat 2 parameter kritis yaitu mating design dan reproduksi benih, dan kondisi fisik tanaman. Pada tahapan pemrosesan benih terdapat 2 parameter kritis yaitu unit persiapan benih, dan unit pengecambahan. Kemudian tahapan selanjutnya pengecambahan benih terdapat 1 titik kritis yaitu mutu fisiologis kecambah. Titik kritis persyaratan atau tolok ukur dari setiap tahapan tersebut jika dipenuhi dan diterapkan dengan baik dan benar akan meningkatkan produktivitas mutu benih unggul yang komersil dan berkualitas tinggi.

Which dialects are preserved in the Saami dictionary of P.S.Pallas
Authors: Julia Normanskaja
Published: January 2023

Previously, it was believed, cf. [Bakula, Normanskaja 2022], that the first extant text was a translation of the Gospel of Matthew into the Saami language, published in 1878 by A. Genets. It was believed that earlier translations of texts, in particular, created by St. Theodore of Kola, have not reached us. The Lapp dictionary of P.S.Pallas, published in 1787, had not previously attracted the attention of scientists, as far as we know. Probably, this is due to the fact that traditionally the opinion prevailed about the residence of Eastern Saami in Russia: speakers of Kildin, Skolt, Ter Saami languages and the now extinct Akkala Saami language. And in the dictionary of P.S. Pallas, the forms often differ significantly from the Eastern Saami lexemes. The analysis shows that speakers of at least three Sami dialects/languages: Sweden Saami, Norwegian Saami, and an unknown dialect lived on the territory of Russia in the XVIII century (it was impossible to establish the status of the language or dialect at that time), of which two are currently spoken only in EU countries: Sweden, Finland and Norway, and one has apparently disappeared.
COVID-19 Policies’ Impact on House Cleaners’ Workplace Precarity
Authors: Johansen Kara , Setteducate Alexa , Price Maggi , Blustein David L.
Published: January 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic increased the volume of precarious work (i.e. work that is unstable, often without social/legal protections) across many industries, including for domestic workers. House cleaners face particularly precarious conditions due to being predominantly marginalized (i.e. lower socio-economic status, racial/ethnic minorities, non-native English speakers) women, often with informal contracts. The present grounded-theory qualitative study elucidates how COVID-19 policies in two different US cities (Boston, MA and Dallas, TX) affected precarity in house cleaners’ work. Dallas had far less strict COVID-19 policies (e.g., shorter mask mandates and quicker business re-openings) compared to Boston. In each city, house cleaners (n=10 in Dallas and n=8 in Boston) participated in 15-35 minute semi-structured interviews over Zoom or phone. Participants were asked about their working relationships during COVID-19, as well as how they coped with health safety and payments. House cleaners reported that the COVID-19 increased the precarity of their work in three essential ways: (1) furloughs and firings without protections (2) duress around their health and safety while at work, and (3) increased awareness of existing power structures in their employer-employee relationships. However, Dallas house cleaners reported shorter furloughs, higher rates of discomfort around safety, and more instances of a new awareness in power structures than their Boston counterparts, demonstrating differences in precarity based on local COVID-19 policies and employer attitudes. Importantly, precarity in work can result in negative psychological outcomes such as anxiety and depression and a lack of dignity.
Mechanism Engagement as a Potential Evidence-Based Approach to Personalized Treatment Termination
Authors: Sauer-Zavala Shannon , Southward Matthew W. , Terrill Douglas , Semcho Stephen , Stumpp Nicole
Published: January 2023

Objective: This study explores whether early change on a putative mechanism maintaining symptoms can serve a proximal indicator of response to prompt discontinuation. Method: Participants (N = 70) with heterogeneous anxiety and depressive disorders were enrolled in a pilot sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART). Patients received 6 sessions of skill modules from the Unified Protocol and then underwent a second-stage randomization to either receive the remaining 6 sessions (Full duration) or discontinue treatment (Brief duration). All participants completed weekly self-report measures of anxiety and depressive symptoms (Overall Anxiety Severity and Interference Scale; Overall Depression Severity and Interference Scale) and distress aversion (Multidimensional Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire) for the full treatment window (i.e., 12 weeks). We used structural equation modeling to test (1) if distress aversion demonstrated significant variability during the first-stage randomization and (2) if distress aversion during the first-stage randomization predicted second-stage changes in anxiety and depression. Results: Participants demonstrated significant variability in first-stage distress aversion. Latent distress aversion slopes significantly predicted latent second-stage anxiety slopes, whereas latent distress aversion intercepts significantly predicted latent second-stage depression slopes. Conclusions: These results suggest that it may be possible to use early mechanism engagement as a trigger that prompts personalized termination. Shorter courses of care have the potential to reduce patient costs and increase the mental health service system’s capacity.
Comment - Examine the Role of Morality in Wearing Masks in China during COVID-19
Authors: Chen Jian Saturn
Published: January 2023

How do masks influence wearers’ deviant behavior in everyday life? Lu et al. (1) found that wearing a mask can reduce wearer’s deviant behavior and this phenomenon can be explained by the increased moral awareness when wearing masks. While the finding of reduced deviant behavior in mask wearers is novel, the explanation of this phenomenon is not convincing.

Published: January 2023

A desk review was done to analyze the relevance of Vipassana with the overall dimensions of health and to find out its interconnection with the school curriculum for enhancing the education sector and shifting the paradigm. Secondary data were collected via an internet online portal and analyzed by making a theme. Literature shows that Vipassana has a tremendous positive impact on human health dimensions like physical, mental, social, psychological, and spiritual health. Vipassana with its moral code and precepts is found to help in fostering peaceful feelings, equanimity, and compassion, thus assisting social integrity. Relying on this fact, there is a great possibility of interconnecting Vipassana with the school curriculum. No review has been found on social well-being and spiritual health in a collaborative form which could be a future recommendation.

Dietary habits build on in the formative years persist across the lifespan; therefore, developing healthy nutritional behaviors is crucial among school-going children. The school education can be a powerful influence in modifying the nutritional behaviors of children. Available evidence indicates that school-based nutrition education may promote improved dietary behaviours of school children if it is integrated with motivation, action, and a supportive environment. This study aims to design, implement and evaluate a school-based participatory nutrition education program (SBPNEP) to transform the nutritional behavior of students through participatory action research (PAR). This study uses a transformative mixed-method design as part of  the PAR methodology. Five co-educational community schools are selected from Chitwan district of Nepal following the inclusion criteria of NORHED Rupantran Project under  Tribhuvan University. Among the five schools, one is selected as the ‘action school’ where intervention sessions will be implemented. The remaining four schools serve as the ‘reference schools’ where effective intervention components of the action school will be replicated. Basic school students, their parents, basic school science and health education teachers, and school leaders are the co-researchers of this study. Both quantitative tools and qualitative methods will be used to generate the data. Quantitative data will be analyzed using inferential statistics (bivariate and multivariate), whilst the interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) method will be used for meaning making process of the qualitative data. Three components of the intervention also said to be PAR cycles: sensitization and motivation’, ‘nutrition pedagogy’ and ‘creating a supportive environment for sustainability’ will be implemented following an iterative process of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting of the PAR cycle. The effectiveness of the intervention activities will be evaluated under three phases: short-term, mid-term, and long-term.
Welcome the Unwelcoming: Exploring Social Justice in School Pedagogies
Authors: Bhattarai Devi Prasad
Published: January 2023

This article emphasizes looking for social justice in school pedagogies and practices to welcome students coming from other than the mainstream cultural background. The article utilizes the qualitative research design under which the narrative interview was carried outwith a single student coming from an ethnic minority background in one of the rural schools situated in the Kathmandu district. The goal was to explore their experiences about the mainstream school’s practices in which Nepali language as a medium of instruction, uniformed pedagogy, and centralized curriculum are the dominant approach. To understand the experiences of children with diverse socio-cultural backgrounds, the article employs the multicultural perspective as a lens.The article argues that most of the classroom management, teachers’ teaching skills and manners, school culture, and subject matters in the curricula and text are the most unwelcoming aspects to welcome children coming from different socio-cultural, linguistic, and ethnic backgrounds. The article explores many unexplored areas that concern the several gaps between entire schooling processes and ethnic/indigenous students’ socio-cultural backups. School culture, pedagogy, and classroom management have not well fostered thewillingness to nurture and support cultural competence, interconnectedness, inter-reciprocity, and mutual understanding to welcome the unwelcoming in school. The article, therefore, warrants an immediate initiation to bringing an entire improvement in school culture in a way that addresses every need and expectation of linguistically, culturally, ethnically, economically, geographically, and religiously diverse children.
The Evolution of Children’s Literature

Children’s literature is literature for children and about children, maybe written by children or adult writers. The article sheds lights on the meaning and importance of children’s literature. It mainly focuses on how children’s literature in general has been evolving in the English and Nepali contexts of literary history. Some writers and their books have been consulted and some critics’ opinions have been cited in order to find out the general trends of the evolution of children’s literature. Efforts have been made to observe some commonalties and contrasts in the evolution trends between children’s literature, mainly in English, and children’s literature in Nepal. It is observed that the sources and themes of children’s literature are similar both in English and Nepali. The oral trend of sharing folk and mythic stories is also similar in both cases. Writing books that can be leveled as children’s literature started very late in Nepal, however the story-telling tradition in village houses by grandparents, parents and uncles is very old.

Published: January 2023

Background More than 50% of patients with stroke have hypertension, a common modifiable risk factor for stroke. Studies reported that 90% of diagnosed hypertensive patients do not seek for treatment in Nepal and the reason for this remains unexplored. There is a possibility that lack of knowledge of stroke and its potential causes may be the reason.

Objective To assess the knowledge of stroke in a group of patients with hypertension in suburban Nepal.

Method Hypertensive patients visiting a tertiary care hospital in Nepal were approached and were included if they were 18 years or older. We used the Nepali version of ‘Awareness of Stroke, Risk Factors, and Treatment’ questionnaire to assess the knowledge of stroke. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the results.

Result A total of 273 patients were included with the mean age of 56 years. Almost half (48%) of the patients were uneducated. We found that only 24% of the patients identified brain as an organ affected by stroke, only 32% were aware about more than one warning signs of stroke, 64% reported that they were unaware of the treatment options for stroke and only 5% reported control of blood pressure as a part of stroke management. The commonest reported identifiable risk factor for hypertension was high blood pressure (44%).

Conclusion There are significant knowledge gaps regarding stroke in hypertensive patients. Although most patients recognized hypertension as a risk factor for stroke, they were unaware of treatment options. Increasing awareness of hypertension as a risk factor for stroke may help to prevent the stroke burden in Nepal.
Women empowerment in the story Vidha of Hindi literature
Authors: Garg Sushma
Published: January 2023

The rise and fall in the status of women in the Indian society is probably not seen in any other society in the history of the world. Change is the eternal law of nature. With the change of time, the restrictions made for women are getting relaxed to a great extent. Along with the spread of education, women are trying to stand equal to men in every field, but no matter how much the family attitude has changed, still women in our society do not have the freedom to voluntarily, for themselves. You can choose the field of your choice. On the other hand, women are discriminated on the basis of gender in the society. But at present women are challenging every situation by being empowered themselves. Women empowerment has appeared in both positive and negative forms in the story genre of current Hindi literature.

Abstract in Hindi Language:

भारतीय समाज में नारी की स्थिति में जितना आरोह व अवरोह रहा है, सम्भवतः विश्व के इतिहास के किसी दूसरे समाज में यह स्थिति देखने को नहीं मिलेगी। परिवर्तन प्रकृति का शाश्वत नियम है। समय परिवर्तन के साथ-साथ महिलाओं के लिए बने प्रतिबन्धों में काफी हद तक शिथिलता आती जा रही है। शिक्षा के प्रसार के साथ-साथ महिलाएँ हर क्षेत्र में पुरूषों के समकक्ष आ खड़ी होने को उद्यत हैं, किंतु कितना ही पारिवारिक दृष्टिकोण परिवर्तित क्यों न हुआ हो, फिर भी हमारे समाज में महिलाओं को यह स्वतंत्रता नहीं है कि वे स्वेच्छा से, अपने लिए मनचाहे क्षेत्र का चुनाव कर सकें। दूसरी ओर समाज में महिला के साथ लिंग के आधार पर भेदभाव किया जाता है। परंतु वर्तमान में नारी स्वयं सशक्त होकर प्रत्येक परिस्थिति को चुनौती दे रही है। महिला सशक्तिकरण वर्तमान हिन्दी साहित्य की कहानी विधा में सकरात्मक व नकारात्मक दोनों रूपों में ही प्रकट हुआ है।

Keywords: महिला सशक्तिकरण, कहानी, कामकाजी, समाज, शोषण, आधुनिक सोच व पुरूष प्रधान समाज।

Introduction: Empowerment of simulations in emergent situations by resident medical interns has positively demonstrated the acquisition of clinical skills [1]. Even so, it remains unclear what psychological factors influence when assuming leadership in carrying out these simulations or in a real situation. This study aims to analyse, by simulating critical situations in the operating room, the influence of training and personality among anaesthesiology residents on the predisposition to assume such leadership.
Materials and Methods: A study was carried out on 22 residents both trained (11) and untrained in simulation, assessing their personality and degree of stress using the Typi and Stay Trait. By observation it was determined that he was the leader, when entering a simulated model of ventricular fibrillation in pairs. Resolution capacity was not valued, but rather the characteristics that define the personality of the resident who assumed leadership.
Results: Regarding personality, measured with the TIPI test, the leaders turned out to score high in agreeableness but low in extraversion compared to the helpers. This suggests that they are altruistic, compassionate, trusting, frank, empathic and sensitive to others and on the other hand reserved, socially distant except with close friends. In the trained group, the Stai Trait test revealed a slightly lower mean in helpers compared to the total mean, in addition to a significantly higher SD in leaders (4.57) than in helpers (2.87), obtaining a p> 0.02. In Stai Estado, the opposite occurred in terms of the averages, lower in the group of leaders with respect to the global average. And a very similar SD was obtained in both groups (4.91 and 4.21). In the TIPI test, the leading group stands out with a low score in extraversion, compared to the total mean and compared to assistants, justified data with a p>0.02.
Conclusion: The residents of the trained group turned out to have lower anxiety in the stressful situation of the simulation compared to the other group. In addition, the women who turned out to be leaders in the trained group demonstrated control of the situation with lower HRs than the leaders in the untrained group, thus demonstrating the influence of training in resolving critical situations.
