Oil fraction samples were selected from individual wells of the Naftalan field. The physicochemical, spectral properties and structure of fractions obtained from mixtures of Naftalan oil were determined by using modern methods of analysis. For purification of Naftalan oil fractions from aromatic and sulfur compounds, an extraction process was carried out with ionic liquids (morpholineformate, diethylamineformate, triethylamineformate, pyridineformate, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidoneformate, piperidineformate, anylinformate), as well as and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone extractants. In the obtaining of therapeutic “White Naftalan” oil from a fraction of Naftalan oil boiling at 200–450 °C, the purification process with ionic liquid morpholineformate in a mass ratio oil fraction: ionic liquid – 1:1, at a temperature of 60 oC, was carried out in 4 stages, with the contact time of 1 hour for each stage. In the purification proces the amount of aromatic hydrocarbons decreased and was 2 %, and the raffinate yield was 72.65 %. was. Thus, according to the results of IR, UV spectral analysis of the morpholineformate ionic liquid can be considered an economically and environmentally effective extractant in the obtaining of therapeutic “White Naftalan” oil.

Adaptive restructuring gets disrupted due to a reduction in the body’s reserve capacity at increased stress on the functional systems in response to the combined effects of adverse factors, including climatic. Determination of the state of blood transport systems and immune homeostasis broadens our understanding of how human body systems operate under adverse conditions of the North. The purpose of this article was to assess the state of the transport components of the blood system in relation to the immune status of the population of the European North of Russia. Materials and methods. A survey of 789 residents of the Arkhangelsk Region aged 21 to 55 years was conducted and their blood system parameters were analysed taking into account the levels of haptoglobin, transferrin, immunoglobulins and lipid transport complexes with their structural ligands. Results. Residents of the European North of Russia showed increased levels of transferrin in 31.8 %, IgM in 7.6 %, IgE in 7.8 % and low-density lipoproteins in 10.2 % of cases, as well as a deficit in IgA in 55.6 % and high-density lipoprotein apoA-I ligand in 56.2 % of cases. Elevated blood transferrin concentrations are associated with low CD71+ lymphocyte count, which reflects the inhibition of activation and proliferation processes when the signal from the CD3+ receptor is blocked. A decrease in the level of transferrin CD71+ receptors on lymphocytes is manifested in disturbed immunoglobulin class switching with the formation of IgA deficit, which is compensated by IgM and IgE. Increased immunoglobulin content ensures effective binding of metabolic products with autoantigen properties (low-density lipoproteins) when the functional properties of high-density lipoproteins are impaired due to the structural apoA-I deficit. Determination of the transport components of the blood system in relation to the state of the immune system is informative for assessing the risk of disruption of adaptive mechanisms.

Published: October 2024

In recent years, countering illegal activity among children and adolescents has been one of the priorities of law enforcement in Russia. This area requires a comprehensive study and improvement, including through academic research. This article is one of the few studies that from the standpoint of modern historical science describes the activities that were carried out at the national, regional and local levels within the framework of public assistance to various services and departments of Russia’s law enforcement bodies. The latter aimed to prevent juvenile delinquency under specific historical circumstances, which are characterized by a transformation of almost all spheres of life, sustainable dynamics of the economic, social and political processes, as well as ideological, spiritual and moral uncertainty, growing crime rates virtually throughout the country and, as a consequence, an escalation of juvenile offending. The author applied the general scientific and general historical methods, which ensured that the results obtained are reliable, comprehensive and concrete. The use of diverse historical sources, both published and archival, allowed the author to draw well-founded conclusions about the development of the institution of public assistance to law enforcement agencies in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union, as well as about the organizational and legal framework, content and significance of the joint efforts of the public and police departments to prevent juvenile delinquency.
Белая эмиграция в планах Англии и Японии по уничтожению единого советского государства в 1920–1930-е годы
Authors:   Kursk State University, Pashin Vasiliy P.
Published: October 2024

The paper analyses little-known facts of the British and Japanese policies on the Soviet Union in the 1920s – 1930s, which were aimed to destroy the country by breaking it up into smaller states. The purpose of this article is to identify the opinions of white émigrés on Britain’s and Japan’s anti-Soviet, anti-Russian policies. The scientific and practical significance of the study lies in identifying the persistent subversive activities of these countries against the USSR and the Russian Federation. The author’s conclusions are based on documents from the Central Archives of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation. They were analysed on the basis of the general civilizational approach focusing on sociocultural phenomena and subjective factors, complemented by the formational approach, which allowed the author to navigate the large flow of historical events and individual phenomena. The paper points out the attempts to create a united anti-Soviet front in European states, primarily France, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. Other countries were also drawn into the orbit of such policies, Romania, Bulgaria and Serbia in particular. It is demonstrated that Britain and Japan sought to use White Guard émigrés as a battering ram. Anti-Soviet activities were often financed using funds invested in British and Japanese banks by the former tsarist government and the governments of the White movement during the Civil War in Russia. The current antagonistic policy of the “civilized West” is similar to that of the period under study, both in terms of goals and methods. The conclusion that ordinary white émigrés, most of whom were hostile towards Soviet power, did not want to destroy the unified Russian state or weaken its economic potential requires further reflection. The creatures of the Western countries with their belligerent plans were the few leaders of the White movement abroad.
Понятие метаязыка: от лингвистического наследия Р. Якобсона к современным научным практикам
Authors:   Rostov State Transport University, Kravchenko Mikhail A.
Published: October 2024

This paper presents a scientific reflection on the origin, development and differentiation of the concept of metalanguage, used by modern linguists within approaches and disciplines that describe the manifestations of this phenomenon. The emergence and initial use of the term metalanguage in linguistic practice is described, the understanding of the phenomenon of metalanguage within R. Jakobson’s linguistic heritage is analysed, theoretical and methodological connections between the elements of his concept and modern approaches to metalanguage research are established. By applying the techniques of narrative linguistic historiography, including the methods of comprehension, interpretation and classification of linguistic works, as well as the descriptive method, allowing us to transmit theoretical premises, arguments and conclusions, the author of this paper proves that the functional orientation of metalanguage research can be traced back to the well-known functional model of language. In this model, Jakobson attached great importance to the metalinguistic function. His ideas on the significance of metalinguistic competence for a person’s cognitive growth contributed to the development of an interdisciplinary field that has mechanisms of mental development during ontogenesis as its subject matter. As a result of the research, a hypothesis was confirmed that most contemporary approaches to metalanguage are grounded in the concept proposed by Jakobson. It was Jakobson who laid the groundwork for the study of metalanguage as a system. He introduced into the scope of linguistics such problems as the correspondence of and interaction between the structures of language and metalanguage, systemic organization of metalanguage, functional asymmetry between metalinguistic units, and semiotic parameters of metalanguage. These issues still require a thorough and comprehensive investigation. Therefore, Jakobson’s linguistic research has not yet exhausted its heuristic potential and will continue to serve as a theoretical and methodological foundation for current and future studies on metalanguage.
Information accumulation on the item versus source test of source monitoring: Insights from diffusion modeling
Authors: Tanyas Hilal , Liss Julia V. , Kuhlmann Beatrice G.
Published: October 2024

Source monitoring involves attributing previous experiences (e.g., studied words as items) to their origins (e.g., screen positions as sources). The present study aimed toward a better understanding of temporal aspects of item and source processing. Participants made source decisions for recognized items either in succession (i.e., the standard format) or in separate test blocks providing independent measures of item and source decision speed. Comparable speeds of item and source decision across the test formats would suggest a full separation between item and source processing, whereas different speeds would imply their (partial) temporal overlap. To test these alternatives, we used the drift rate parameter of the diffusion model (Ratcliff, Psychological Review, 85, 59–108, 1978). We examined whether the drift rates, together with the other parameters, assessed separately for the item and source decision varied as a function of the test format. Threshold separation and nondecision time differed between the test formats, but item and source decision speeds represented by drift rates did not change significantly. Thus, despite facilitation on the source decision when the item decision was immediately followed by a test for source memory than when item and source were tested in separate blocks, findings did not suggest that source information already begins accumulating in the item test in the standard format. We discuss the temporal sequence of item and source processing in light of different assumptions about the contribution of familiarity and recollection.

Published: October 2024

The article focuses on a new approach to personality typology of people engaged in entrepreneurial activity. The sets of stable character manifestations and peculiar behavioral characteristics, inherent in four types of entrepreneur personality “a creative”, “an entrepreneur”, “a manager” and “an owner” are provided. The author introduces a strong correlation between the ability of entrepreneurs to generate new ideas, create, manage, own and run their business and a particular type of personality manifestation. The author claims all people engaged in economic activities to be entrepreneurs by definition. However, the diversity of entrepreneurial success suggests that this mass is far from homogeneous. Entrepreneurs differ significantly within their environment. The article substantiates the importance of differentiating the entrepreneur’s personality type according to the system proposed by the author, provides a detailed description of four personality types and their fundamental differences. The author emphasizes the existence of a certain set of personality characteristics that ensure the entrepreneurial activity success. The paper reveals a conceptual system of entrepreneurs’ differentiation by predominant personality type and aspects that allow to define it. This article will help “people of business” to self-identify – to determine a leading personality type, which will allow them to consciously manage their professional development. The presented personality typology also provides an opportunity to significantly improve the quality of educational programs for entrepreneurs.
Deglobalization of the Internet: Myth or Reality?

The article shows that, along with technical restrictions on access to internet resources around the world, including due to the use of geo-blocking, new deglobalization factors have emerged associated with the spread of digital platforms and the creation of digital ecosystems. The effect of these factors is based on the exploitation of the bounded rationality of platform users and on the difficulties of solving the problem of collective actions of users, which together create new switching costs and impede the development of competition. The approaches of new institutional economic theory and theory of industrial organization are used as the methodological basis for the study. The main strategies of ecosystem leaders to increase the costs of switching for users and to “lock” them into the ecosystem are described: from strategies less dangerous for competition, such as recommendation systems or bonus programs, to more dangerous ones – in particular, strategies to prevent innovations that would make it easier to multihome or to switch between ecosystems. The article demonstrates how traditional theories of harm developed in antitrust can be used to explain the “sharing” of users between ecosystems, and what effects are unexplained and require further theoretical elaboration. In particular, the applicability of the concepts of input foreclosure and aftermarkets to the analysis of ecosystem behavior strategies is analyzed. New approaches from foreign methodological documents in the field of antitrust related to market analysis and merger assessment are considered as ex ante control measures. It is shown that, despite some progress in practice, a number of questions remain unanswered, including at the theoretical level. The article may be of interest to both regulatory authorities and antitrust experts.

Este estudio examina el método NaturalSlim (NS) como un enfoque innovador de Atención Primaria de Salud Avanzada (APSA) para el manejo de la obesidad y trastornos metabólicos en México y Latinoamérica. Se realizó una investigación cualitativa y descriptiva, combinando una revisión documental exhaustiva con un análisis de campo en siete clínicas NS en la Zona Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México. Este método cuenta con tres componentes interrelacionados: una estrategia educativa extensiva, un modelo de atención clínica interdisciplinario y un conjunto de estrategias de intervención nutricional y suplementaria personalizadas. Los resultados permiten demostrar que el método NS ofrece un abordaje integral y centrado en el paciente, alineado con los principios de APSA. El estudio destaca la capacidad del método NS para mejorar la experiencia a la enfermedad, integrar tecnología en la atención clínica y a distancia, así como para abordar de manera más amplia los factores que contribuyen a la obesidad y los trastornos metabólicos. Se identifican desafíos potenciales para su implementación a una mayor escala, incluyendo aspectos como accesibilidad a estos recursos, por ser provenientes de servicios privados, financiamiento público para desarrollar proyectos piloto en colaboración con el sector público, vinculación con el resto de los niveles de atención para el cuidado de las comorbilidades y falta de conocimiento de estas experiencias en foros académicos para su análisis y retroalimentación. El método NS representa una oportunidad prometedora para transformar la atención de las personas adultas con sobrepeso, obesidad y enfermedades metabólicas en México y Latinoamérica, aunque se requiere investigación adicional para evaluar su efectividad a largo plazo y su adaptabilidad a diversos contextos socioeconómicos y culturales.
Ontología del Querer: Dialéctica entre lo Voluntario y lo Involuntario en Paul Ricoeur
Authors: Mondragón Palma Yessica
Published: October 2024

El presente artículo aborda la ontología del querer conformada por la dialéctica entre lo voluntario (decisión, acción, consentir) y lo involuntario (carácter,  el inconsciente, la vida). Dicho estudio lo realiza Paul Ricoeur mediante un acto de abstracción que revela la relación tan estrecha que existe entre la conciencia y el cuerpo propio; sin embargo, la fenomenología encuentra su propio limite, ya que ninguna herramienta metodológica logra agotar la complejidad del ser humano, una filosofía de la voluntad exige más que una análisis eidético. Está dialéctica muestra  la importancia que tiene recuperar al cuerpo como cuerpo propio y no solamente como cuerpo-objeto,  el cuerpo propio es el yo existente, pues mediante él se realiza la acción en donde la decisión encuentra su culminación. Para el filósofo francés no hay otra manera de demostrar lo que somos sino es mediante lo que hacemos, el ser dice el hacer y el hacer dice el ser, ser-hacer quedan totalmente imbricados. Así mismo, Ricoeur pretende superar la dualidad del entendimiento (cuerpo/alma) y constituir un Cogito integral, que al mismo tiempo es frágil por presentarse como libertad encarnada, es decir, como una voluntad atravesada por lo involuntario absoluto.

Published: October 2024

Heart disease has been Malaysia's leading cause of mortality for 20 years. Aging stiffens the heart and blood vessels, leading to heart disease in older people. Therefore, heart disease is common in seniors. From 2014 to 2021, heart disease-related mortality in people aged 41 to 59 rose 6.2%. This paper presents the design of a monitoring system for early cardiac condition identification in young individuals. Single photoplethysmography (PPG) estimated the mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse rate. These physiological signs and health risk variables were utilized to map heart disease progression. 50 healthy 20–40-year-olds were sampled. The experimental design compares the prototype's stability and precision to a commercial device. Heart rate accuracy showed a mean difference of 0.30 bpm and a variance difference of 1.43 bpm. Thus, most MAP values are 60–100 mmHg. 20% had MAPs beyond 100 mm Hg. As demonstrated by subjects with risk factors with higher resting heart rates and higher MAP values, a correlation exists between heart rate, blood pressure, and the likelihood of heart disease progression over time. In conclusion, the most significant contribution of this research is an enhanced method for the early detection of coronary artery disease using heart rate and blood pressure data linked to variable risk factors.

The digital revolution, particularly digital games, can potentially improve older adults' lives. However, the commercialised digital games on the market are not designed specifically to help this demographic cope with the adverse effects of ageing. There are no specific guidelines or frameworks that consider the andragogy principles. We aimed to address our research question: How can older adults’ game experience influence design consideration? and discusses a framework that could aid the design and development of digital games focusing on older adults and their gaming experience. Mixed-method approach is used in this study, consisting of four stages in the research design. This article introduces and discusses the purpose, design, play and experience (PDPE) framework which has informed the development of a game prototype that was used to validate the framework by investigating older adults’ experiences.

Published: October 2024

Abstract The isoflavones contained in the Pachyrhizus plant (Pachyrhizus erosus Linn) have multiple functions, including serving as raw materials for the health/pharmacology or cosmetic industries. Isoflavones are beneficial as antioxidants, and cholesterol reducers and are capable of neutralizing free radicals and delaying aging. Tissue culture techniques are widely used to produce secondary metabolite compounds. Isoflavones can be made in vitro through callus production by tissue culture. By using elicitation techniques with the addition of various glucose concentrations to the culture media (media Murashige and Skoog or Vacin and Went), it is expected to increase the quantity and quality of callus and the content of secondary metabolites (Isoflavones) in Pachyrhizus callus. The research aims to increase the production of Isoflavones in Pachyrhizus callus by adding elicitors with various concentrations of glucose. The research method used a completely randomized factorial design. Factor I: two levels of basic media: M1 (Murashige and Skoog Media) and M2 (Vacin and Went Media). Factor II: Addition of Glucose concentrations with seven levels: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%. The plant material used was the young leaves of Pachyrhizus. The results of the study showed that (1) all formed callus exhibited compact quality; (2) the addition of 30% glucose concentration resulted in the best growth of callus; (3) the highest Isoflavone content (0.15%) was found in the callus of Pachyrhizus erosus L. due to the treatment with both MS and VW media with 20% Glucose Elicitor
DevOps Adoption Guidelines, Challenges and Benefits: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Hamza Usman , Abdullah Nasuha Lee , Syed-Mohamad Sharifah Mashita
Published: October 2024

The DevOps methodology in software engineering is currently trending and many software development organisations are adopting it to stay competitive. However, these organisations face difficulties in adopting DevOps due to a lack of common standard guidelines and methodology. We argued that guidelines across multiple platforms are needed to succeed in DevOps implementation. This paper aims to identify the benefits, challenges, and guidelines associated with DevOps adoption using a systematic literature review. The search spanned over ten digital libraries such as ACM Digital Library, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, SAGE Journals, Wiley Online Library, and so on. The review also included keyword searches in relevant studies i.e DevOps guidelines, DevOps and guidelines, DevOps benefits, DevOps and benefits, DevOps challenges, DevOps and challenges. Papers written in English and published from 2011 through July 2020 were considered. 33 studies passed the two-step quality assessment. Finally, the data were extracted and analysed based on the themes and research questions, revealing the benefits and challenges of DevOps adoption guidelines. The findings show that improved software delivery speed increases code quality and application quality with frequent releases. It also shows that there was no transparent scientific approach to determining the DevOps capabilities regarding the process, practice, tools, and implementations, cost implications, and insufficient knowledge of the automation process. Finally, the reviewed studies indicated that software quality increases whenever DevOps best practices are adopted. DevOps is about continuous software delivery. Previous studies have not considered the guidelines for scientifically adopting DevOps for organisations that want to migrate. The present review identified the DevOps adoption guideline model represented in a cyclic format that indicates an infinite process representing continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment, with an understanding of benefits and challenges.

Rollover accidents are classified into various scenarios, and with the increasing prevalence of high-centre-of-gravity (CG) vehicles in Southeast Asia (SEA) particularly in Malaysia, such as SUVs, MPVs and pickup trucks; assessing vehicle rollover risk has become critical. Even though rollover incident recorded low number of cases compared to other crash types in Malaysia, it had the highest casualty index for killed or seriously injured (KSI) and the situation induces worries because majority of the fatalities in rollover crashes among passenger vehicle occupants goes to high CG vehicle type. There are several limitations from the SEA nations to enforce costly dynamic rollover test as safety specification for SEA market requirement. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate Static Stability Factor (SSF), and roof resistance test (FMVSS 216), as an alternative to the dolly rollover test (FMVSS 208) using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). A correlated Chevrolet Silverado MY 2014 model is employed, with different SSF values representing varying levels of vehicle stability. The study evaluates peak force, peak energy absorption, and maximum intrusion during rollover simulations according to FMVSS 208 for vehicle models with different SSF values. Results indicated that vehicles with lower SSF values lead to higher energy absorption and intrusion, signifying increased rollover impact. Additionally, the article suggests that FMVSS 216 Roof Resistance Test is more severe than FMVSS 208 and vehicle rating system based on SSF value is vital for market awareness. Understanding the vehicle structural integration in rollover scenarios is essential for improving safety measures and vehicle design, especially for high-centre-of-gravity vehicles prevalent in the market.

L’entrepreneur hyperréel, accélérateur du processus d’innovation
Authors: Michaud Thomas
Published: October 2024

Elon Musk et Mark Zuckerberg sont des entrepreneurs hyperréels. Ils confondent imaginaire technique et réalité pour impulser une dynamique particulière aux processus d’innovation, leur vision stratégique étant influencée par la science-fiction. L’hypertemps spécifique à ce système productif repose sur une accélération de l’innovation, faisant entrer les acteurs du processus d’innovation dans un temps mythique qui suscite une adhésion des investisseurs. Les entrepreneurs hyperréels sont les leaders d’un hypercapitalisme fondant son processus d’innovation sur des visions à long terme issues de la science-fiction. Les représentations du futur de ces œuvres sont toutefois bien souvent modifiées et insérées dans des discours stratégiques d’entrepreneurs cherchant de cette manière à revendiquer la faculté de réaliser la science-fiction. Certains accélérationnistes souhaitent l’accélération de la réalisation des visions de la science-fiction afin d’achever l’ère capitaliste. Une telle revendication valide la thèse d’un imaginaire science-fictionnel, moteur d’un système capitaliste nécessitant sans cesse de nouveaux imaginaires technoscientifiques pour alimenter son processus d’innovation.
Nurses' Provision of Sexual and Reproductive Health to Community-Dwelling Older Adults: An Integrative Review
Authors: Siraj Salima , Dahlke Sherry
Published: October 2024

Purpose

To explore barriers and facilitators to nurses' provision of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care to community-dwelling older adults.

Method

An integrative literature review was performed using Whittemore and Knafl's method. Three databases were searched for research conducted between 2012 and 2023, and the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool was used to determine the quality of included studies.

Results

Nine studies were ultimately included for analysis, and themes were
Barriers to SRH Care
and
Facilitators of SRH Care
.
Barriers to SRH Care
included: nurses' lack of knowledge about older adults' sexual health, discomfort discussing sexual topics, age-related stereotypes regarding older adults' sexuality, and older adults' lack of knowledge of and reluctance to discuss sexuality and sexual health issues.
Facilitators of SRH Care
included: gender of health care provider, nursing education on effective communication strategies, encouraging open dialogue to challenge ageist perceptions, and sexual education for older adults.

Conclusion

Findings underscore the impact of stigma and negative ageist assumptions on whether discussions about SRH occur between nurses and older adults. There is a need for comprehensive education for nurses and older adults about SRH to recognize sexual health needs and promote open and constructive conversations. Moreover, research about how to best facilitate older adults' SRH is needed. [

Authors: Choi MoonKi , Kim Jin Seon , Park Chan Young , Choi YeJin , Yoon Tejin , Bae Juyeon
Published: October 2024

Purpose

To examine the feasibility and acceptability of progressive whole-body resistance training with social support reinforcement for older adults living alone.

Method

This mixed methods single-group pilot study examined an intervention provided over 3 nonconsecutive days per week for 12 weeks. We evaluated quantitative data on recruitment, uptake, retention, and adherence, and measured pretest and posttest outcome scores on body composition, physical function, and psychosocial health. We conducted a focus group interview to collect qualitative data on participants' perspectives.

Results

Seven participants (five women and two men) completed the program (attendance rate = 88.9%). Physical function and psychosocial health improved, but soft lean and skeletal muscle mass decreased. Five themes emerged from the qualitative data.

Conclusion

Results support the feasibility and benefits of this intervention program for older adults living alone despite challenges with recruitment and uptake. [

DarkComet, PUP.Optional.Conduit, Adware.MyWebSearch, Virus.Win32.Sality, Trojan.Win32. Necurs, and Ransom.WannaCry) to some malwares, providing detailed analysis for better threat management. The application effectively scans both EXE and APK files, ensuring comprehensive protection. When assessing website links, the application identified security risks with 96% accuracy, demonstrating its capability in managing web-based threats. This app detects SQL injections, analyses malware, and assesses website security, bolstering cyber defence with user-friendly features and top-notch threat mitigation.
Crafting Personalised Web Interfaces: Enhancing Accessibility for Persons with Disabilities
Authors: Macedo Patricia , Madeira Rui Neves , Miranda Paula , Santos Pedro Albuquerque
Published: October 2024

This paper investigates the creation of multimodal web interfaces to foster inclusive services, aiming to empower individuals with disabilities. This paper details the development of SEU (Services to Empower yoU), an online platform designed to improve access to offline services for persons with disabilities through personalised multimodal web interfaces. Developed using a participatory design approach, SEU involved collaboration with Human- Computer Interaction experts, occupational therapists, accessibility experts, and persons with disabilities. The platform supports multiple user needs across cognitive, visual, motor, and hearing impairments. SEU was evaluated in a two-phase usability study, which included expert assessment and testing by persons with disabilities, supplemented with interviews, observations, and questionnaires. Feedback highlighted SEU’s effective design and usability, emphasising its utility in enhancing service accessibility. The study indicates that both experts and persons with disabilities consider the platform an added value. Although the platform was well-received, suggestions for better cognitive support and the addition of a mobile application were noted, acknowledging the regular smartphone usage among the target users.
