Drivers of FDI in emerging economies: BRICS vs. MINT
Authors:   SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi, India, et al. Sahoo
Published: August 2022

It has been observed that one of the challenges posed to emerging economies is capital constraints. In such a situation, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has emerged as a significant capital source for emerging economies. Since liberalization and globalization, emerging economies have achieved remarkable growth through FDI. Therefore, it becomes critical to evaluate FDI determinants in such economies. Many studies are available in this regard; however, there are shreds of evidence of contradictory results. Furthermore, in recent years many scholars have been concerned that human capital can potentially be among the probable determinants of FDI. For the present study, we evaluated the impact of economic indicators (GDP, inflation, infrastructure, and trade openness), political stability of the host country, and human capital development on FDI in emerging economies by drawing pieces of evidence from BRICS and MINT economies. The results revealed that GDP is the most significant factor attracting FDI in BRICS nations, and other economic, political, and human capital-related factors have a trifling impact on FDI. In the case of MINT economies, the results unveiled that political stability, higher GDP, and investment in human capital yield a higher influx of foreign capital. While taking a combined sample, i.e., BRICS and MINT combined, it has been revealed that human capital and market size positively impacts FDI inflows, while inflation has an adverse effect.

Purpose: This study examined the current status of counseling services provided by the Korea Counseling Center for Fertility and Depression, analyzing the characteristics of peripartum women and baby-rearing mothers and establishing guidelines for providing psychological support, and suggesting measures for improving the system.Methods: Data on 3,660 peripartum women & their spouses and baby-rearing mothers counseled through the service over the last 4 years were collected and a demographic analysis was conducted. By analyzing the clinical information of 216 peripartum women and 219 baby-rearing mothers who have registered with the Center and received routine counseling services, factors affecting depression were identified. Finally, a paired sample t-test was conducted to verify the effect of counseling services.Results: An overall 20.4% of pregnant women & their spouses were screened for high risk for depression, of whom 27.3% received registered counseling services; further, 26.2% of baby-rearing parents were at high-risk group for depression, of whom 25% received registered counseling services. Results of a logistic regression analysis suggested that, for peripartum women, level of education and conflicts with partner and family were the crucial factors predicting moderate or severe depression. For baby-rearing mothers, obstetric history of spontaneous abortion was the crucial predicting factor.Conclusion: For the early detection and prevention of peripartum depression, screening tests that start from early pregnancy should be routinely administered. Further, continuous management—covering the periods before and after childbirth—should be provided by establishing organic ties between domestic projects.

Authors:   PhD, Professor Emeritus, Independent Researcher, Benicia, CA, USA, Adams James D
Published: August 2022

Oral pain medicines are routinely used to treat pain and chronic pain. Recent evidence shows that many of these medicines actually increase chronic pain when used over several weeks. Patients should be encouraged to find alternative pain treatments and avoid oral medicines for pain.
Alignment Between Heart Rate Variability From Fitness Trackers and Perceived Stress: Perspectives From a Large-Scale In Situ Longitudinal Study of Information Workers
Authors: Martinez Gonzalo J , Grover Ted , Mattingly Stephen M , Mark Gloria , D’Mello Sidney , Aledavood Talayeh , Akbar Fatema , Robles-Granda Pablo , Striegel Aaron
Published: August 2022

Background

Stress can have adverse effects on health and well-being. Informed by laboratory findings that heart rate variability (HRV) decreases in response to an induced stress response, recent efforts to monitor perceived stress in the wild have focused on HRV measured using wearable devices. However, it is not clear that the well-established association between perceived stress and HRV replicates in naturalistic settings without explicit stress inductions and research-grade sensors.

Objective

This study aims to quantify the strength of the associations between HRV and perceived daily stress using wearable devices in real-world settings.

Methods

In the main study, 657 participants wore a fitness tracker and completed 14,695 ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) assessing perceived stress, anxiety, positive affect, and negative affect across 8 weeks. In the follow-up study, approximately a year later, 49.8% (327/657) of the same participants wore the same fitness tracker and completed 1373 EMAs assessing perceived stress at the most stressful time of the day over a 1-week period. We used mixed-effects generalized linear models to predict EMA responses from HRV features calculated over varying time windows from 5 minutes to 24 hours.

Results

Across all time windows, the models explained an average of 1% (SD 0.5%; marginal R2) of the variance. Models using HRV features computed from an 8 AM to 6 PM time window (namely work hours) outperformed other time windows using HRV features calculated closer to the survey response time but still explained a small amount (2.2%) of the variance. HRV features that were associated with perceived stress were the low frequency to high frequency ratio, very low frequency power, triangular index, and SD of the averages of normal-to-normal intervals. In addition, we found that although HRV was also predictive of other related measures, namely, anxiety, negative affect, and positive affect, it was a significant predictor of stress after controlling for these other constructs. In the follow-up study, calculating HRV when participants reported their most stressful time of the day was less predictive and provided a worse fit (R2=0.022) than the work hours time window (R2=0.032).

Conclusions

A significant but small relationship between perceived stress and HRV was found. Thus, although HRV is associated with perceived stress in laboratory settings, the strength of that association diminishes in real-life settings. HRV might be more reflective of perceived stress in the presence of specific and isolated stressors and research-grade sensing. Relying on wearable-derived HRV alone might not be sufficient to detect stress in naturalistic settings and should not be considered a proxy for perceived stress but rather a component of a complex phenomenon.

Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND

Urinary tract infections account for most antibiotic prescriptions in primary care, with the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and a high level of inappropriateness. Microbiologists are involved in antimicrobial stewardship programs and could help improve antibiotic prescribing through antimicrobial susceptibility reporting.

OBJECTIVE

To assess the added value of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) comments issued by microbiologists on the quality of antibiotic prescriptions in community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTI).

METHODS

We conducted a superiority, double-blind, digital, randomized case-vignette study among French general practitioners (GP’s) between 11-24-2020 and 06-24-2021. Self-questionnaires containing one of the 6 case-vignette with or without comment were broadcasted via French general medical councils and regional residents’ unions. The primary outcome was the overall appropriateness of the antibiotic therapy prescribed according to last 2018 French guidelines for the management of community-acquired UTI.

RESULTS

Among 815 GP’s who responded to the questionnaire, 64,7% were women, with an average age of 37 years. Most of the GP’s (90,1%) used a Clinical Decision Support System. Empirical antibiotic therapy was appropriate in 71.9% (95CI, 68.8–75.0) of the cases, without differences between arms. The overall level of appropriateness for targeted antibiotic therapy did not differ with (83.4%) or without a comment (79.9%) (OR=1.26 (95CI, 0.86–1.85)). The appropriateness was the highest in asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women (99.0%), and the lowest in indwelling urinary catheter-associated bacteriuria (52.9%). In multivariate analysis, only a hospital practice improved the appropriateness of the prescription by 2-folds (OR=2.38 (95CI, 1.02–6.16)).

CONCLUSIONS

In a young GPs’ population comments for antimicrobial susceptibility testing in UTI did not improve the appropriateness of targeted antibiotic prescription.
Virtual Reality Therapy for People With Epilepsy and Related Anxiety (AnxEpiVR): Protocol for a Three-Phase Pilot Clinical Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Gray Hannah Gabrielle , Tchao Danielle , Lewis Samantha , Pardini Susanna , Harris Laurence R. , Appel Lora
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND

Anxiety is one of the most common psychiatric comorbidities in people with epilepsy (PwE) and often involves fears specifically related to the condition, such as anxiety related to the fear of having another seizure. Although research has suggested that exposure therapy (ET) is helpful in decreasing anxiety in PwE, no research to our knowledge has been conducted on ET in PwE using Virtual Reality (VR). The use of an immersive VR head-mounted display for ET in this population offers several benefits. In the present research protocol, we describe the design of an innovative Virtual Reality for exposure therapy (VR-ET) program administered in the home that focuses on decreasing anxiety in PwE.

OBJECTIVE

Our primary objective is to examine the feasibility of the study protocol, determine effect sizes and identify suggestions for improvement when designing a subsequent larger clinical trial. The secondary objective is to evaluate whether VR-ET is effective in decreasing epilepsy-related anxiety. We hypothesize that levels of epilepsy-related anxiety will decrease from using VR-ET.

METHODS

This mixed-methods study comprises three phases: 1) engaging with those with lived experiences to validate assumptions about anxiety and ET; 2) filming videos for the VR-ET intervention (likely consisting of three sets of scenes, each with three intensity levels); and 3) evaluating the VR-ET intervention and study methods.

RESULTS

This pilot study was funded in November, 2021. Data collection for Phase 1 began in June 2022 with 14 participants recruited as of July 31, 2022.

CONCLUSIONS

We anticipate that the insights from this study will establish a new application of VR and add to the limited body of research that currently exists on the use of VR in the epilepsy population. Findings will inform the methods for a subsequent larger randomized controlled trial.

Social Dynamics
Authors: Nooteboom Bart
Published: August 2022

What theories are there of social dynamics, of the emergence, adaptation, resilience, collapse or decay, of social systems such as organisations, communities, networks, cliques and teams? In chapter 1, I consider evolutionary theory, in biology, economics, sociology and psychology. In chapter 2 I consult the literature on Complex Adaptive Systems, and its applicability to social systems. Social systems are distinctive, in being intentional and reflexive, with intentions depending on outcomes. In chapter 3 I focus on social systems: their variety, the role of language, the relation between self and other, network effects, and their collapse, resilience and rigidity.
Indian Feminism: An Analysis of Amish Tripathi’s Sita: Warrior of Mithila
Authors: Tripathy Anjali
Published: August 2022

The essay proposes to study Amish Tripathi’s Sita: Warrior of Mithila (2017) as a representative voice of Indian Feminism. More specifically, it will dwell on the author’s holistic and non-dualistic approach to feminism. My contention is that the concept of purush-prakriti harmony rooted in ancient Indian philosophy is one of the key concepts/ theories that distinguishes Indian feminism from Western theories of feminism.

Published: August 2022

Weathering is one of the most important phenomena that affect the balance dynamics of the Earth's crust. The chemical composition of soil samples and hardened horizons from seven profiles (P1 to P7) of the State of Mexico was compared to detect the degree of alteration by means of weathering indices. In hardened horizons, the dominant elements are SiO2, Al2O3, Na2O, K2O and TiO2, corresponding to 86.8 % of the total oxides. The weathering indices based on the mobility and immobilization of alkaline and alkaline earth elements reveal that the B horizons and the hardened horizons of profiles P4, P5, P6 and P7 are generally more altered than the surface horizons, therefore they have a greater pedogenic development. Profiles P1, P2 and P3 show incipient weathering. The geochemical indices and chemical relationships used in this study to evaluate weathering and associated basic alteration processes showed consistent results. These coincide in indicating incipient to moderate weathering acting in the seven profiles, with variable intensity in all the hardened horizons. The intensity variation defines a sequence of chemical weathering for the hardened horizons: P6> P4> P5> P7> P2> P3> P1, where P6 has the highest degree of weathering in the indices: CIA, CPA, CIA-K, CIW, PIA,IPark, V.
Frackita-v1: un código en Matlab® para el análisis de fracturas geológicas en 1D
Authors: Vásquez-Serrano Alberto
Published: August 2022

En este trabajo se presenta el código Frackita-v1 escrito en MATLAB®, el cual es una herramienta de análisis unidimensional de fracturas geológicas que automatiza los cálculos de parámetros tales como: dimensión de caja, dimensión de correlación, exponente de Lyapunov, exponente de frecuencia acumulada, coeficiente de variación e intensidad de fracturas. Dichos parámetros son fundamentales para conocer la distribución del tamaño de las fracturas, su cantidad, y arreglo. Esta última variable es importante porque está relacionada con el proceso de flujo de fluidos y con fenómenos como la deformación localizada. Frackita-v1 cubre la necesidad actual de un programa de análisis de fracturas en 1D para la enseñanza (educación), investigación o industria.

El código usa datos del espaciamiento entre fracturas obtenidos mediante el método de líneas de muestreo en cualquier escala, desde una lámina delgada hasta mapas de lineamientos morfológicos. Adicionalmente, Frackita-v1 también genera distribuciones sintéticas de fracturas que ayudan a comprender mejor el uso de los parámetros calculados.

Comparative Seismic Analysis of Regular & Irregular Building with Time History Method
Authors: Mishra Piyush , Yadav Prince
Published: August 2022

Abstract: Over the decades, researchers have pre assumed in practice of structure design, that the structure is fixed at its base, As the structures are supported on soil but many structural designers do not consider the soil structure interaction (SSI) effects at the time of earthquake. The major goal of the current study is to ascertain how the interaction of soil and structure affects both regular and irregular structures with irregular stiffness in areas of high damage risk. In the current study, an effort is made to determine how soil structure interacts with buildings using E-TABS2016. In seismic zone IV, distinct soil conditions—hard (type-I), medium (type-II), and soft (type III)—are being compared using time history analysis.

Published: August 2022

Abstract: Most commercial industries now encourage environmentally friendly or green products since they are safe for the environment in their creation, use, and disposal. Eco-friendly items serve an important role in decreasing pollution both during production and recycling. To ensure client happiness, most branded products are developed in an environmentally friendly manner. This research proposes a cost-effective manufacturing quantity model that promotes high-quality green products. To solve the model in a fuzzy sense, an extension of the lagrangian method is applied. The parameters are expressed as a fuzzy pentagonal number. Defuzzification is accomplished using the graded mean integration approach. To demonstrate the model, a numerical example is provided.

Published: August 2022

Objectives This study was to explore the improvement direction for the effective implementation of dance courses by analyzing the current situation of online dance practical courses at colleges and the experiences of students due to COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to help provide high-quality lectures to students, and furthermore, to promote the stabilization and activation of non-face-to-face dance education.
Methods In this study, an online survey was conducted on 121 college students who took online dance practical courses in the second semester of 2021 at 5 colleges across the country to explore the average online dance practical courses at domestic colleges. The questionnaire consisted of 7 closed-type questions in multiple-choice format and 3 open-ended questions in subjective format using the Naver form for a total of 10 questions.
Results First, the most preferred platform for learners is ‘real-time class’ through ‘Zoom’. Second, ‘good points of the experience of non-face-to-face dance practice classes are ‘freedom of learning and evaluation’, ‘new learning methods and improved participation’, ‘corona prevention’, and ‘difficult points of non-face-to-face dance practice classes’ ‘Difficulty in learning’, ‘environmental difficulties’, and ‘dissatisfaction with non-face-to-face classes’ are the upper categories. As ‘points to be supplemented in non-face-to-face dance practice classes’, ‘supplementation of class format’, ‘study method complementation of instructors’, ‘environmental improvement’, and ‘satisfaction with current status’ were found.
Conclusions As a result of this study, ‘real-time class through zoom’ is the most appropriate form and method of ‘non-face-to-face dance practice class’, and the autonomy of the curriculum should be emphasized. In addition, instructors must establish a feedback system and prepare and improve the digital environment for teaching, both in schools, teachers, and learners. It is necessary to have insight into the current situation of college non-face-to-face dance practice classes and the experiences of learners.

Published: August 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the perception of science teachers on the teaching competency to promote students' future competency.
Methods In order to achieve the purpose of the study, previous studies related to teacher competency were analyzed, and data were collected through e-mail and in-depth interviews with 13 science teachers.
Results The teaching competency required for science teachers in the future educational environment was found to be the teaching competency to promote students' future competency, the ability to use edutech, the individually tailored class competency, and the ability to respond to changes in the educational environment. First, in order to cultivate scientific thinking, scientific inquiry, communication and collaboration skills among students' future competencies, research participants provided opportunities to think and discussed problems together through self-directed inquiry activities. instructional strategies were used to encourage divergent thinking by asking questions, exploring and thinking with students, and encouraging students to seek knowledge. Second, the participants' view of science class influenced not only the selection of teaching/learning strategies, but also the selection and implementation of evaluation methods. Research participants were aware of the practical difficulties of meeting both student-led inquiry activities and knowledge-oriented learning needs, and were proceeding with various solutions through trial and error. Third, teachers felt difficulties in teaching  because they did not experience project research while attending the college of education. In order to understand the changes in the educational environment, class competency, and learner characteristics, it is necessary to provide sufficient opportunities for class demonstrations to pre-service teachers by significantly extending the educational practice period.
Conclusions The study participants emphasized the importance of an open mind to accept changes because the future educational environment is unpredictable. So, subjects for cultivating attitudes to respond to changes in the future educational environment were needed.

Published: August 2022

Objectives The purposes of this study were to understand the changes in teacher attachment relationship, grit, and self-learning time that appeared over the period from the 7th grade to the 9th grade and to examine the structural relationship among them.
Methods For this purpose, the results of the longitudinal relationship and change over time using multivariate latent growth model were verified using the longitudinal panel data of middle school students over 3 years of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018 (KYCPS 2018).
Results As a result of examining the change over time, the level of teacher attachment relationship and grit decreased gradually, and self-learning time increased gradually. As a result of analyzing the initial values in the structural relationship of the three variables, it was found that teacher attachment relationship affects grit and self-learning time, and grit affects self-learning time. As a result of analyzing the longitudinal influence according to the rate of change of the variables, it was found that the rate of change in the teacher attachment relationship had a significant positive effect on the rate of change in grit. In addition, grit was found to have a significant longitudinal mediating effect between teacher attachment relationship and self-learning time.
Conclusions Through the verification of significant positive relationship between teacher attachment relationship and grit on self-learning time of middle school students, which expanded understanding of the self-learning time was brought. In addition, it is necessary to solidify teacher attachment relationship to promote students’ grit by discovering the longitudinal influence of teacher attachment relationship on students’ grit. And it can be understood that students can smoothly form their self-learning time through grit promoted by attachment relationship with the teacher.

Published: August 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics of communication experienced by parents in order to find the possibility of rational communication in innovation elementary schools.
Methods This study used a case study method and analyzed how parents of Deulkkot Elementary School, an innovation plus school, experienced communication with teachers. Seven parents were interviewed in-depth with semi-structured questionnaires on experience in innovative schools, communication experience with homeroom teachers, communication experience in school management, general conversation, and school participation consciousness. The collected data were derived from three topics and six categories by applying sequential and cyclical method of Merriam(2009).
Results First, Deulkkot Elementary School strived for reasonable communication between teachers and parents through online and offline information opening and sharing, participation in equal relationships, and bottom-up communication. Second, the teacher tried to communicate with parents with truthfulness through an unauthorized attitude, a mind of consideration and respect, and a reasonable explanation. Third, parents actively supported schools and teachers through expectations for schools, understanding of schools, and mutual exchange activities between parents. The limitations revealed in rational communication were the inconvenience and disappointment that parents felt from some teachers, and internal confrontation and dissatisfaction in parent interaction.
Conclusions In order to realize a democratic autonomous community through rational communication in innovative schools, efforts such as the appropriate size of schools that can communicate, sincere attitudes of teacher, parents' communication skills through parent training, and participation of graduated parents in schools are necessary.

Measuring the perception of quality management primary healthcare services through SERVQUAL model
Authors: Rexhepi Ilir , Ismajli Naim , Shabani Gezim
Published: August 2022

The quality of healthcare is more difficult to identify than other services because it is the clients themselves and their quality of life that gets evaluated (Eiriz & Figueiredu, 2005). The main aim of this study is to investigate people’s perceptions and expectations regarding the quality of services in primary health care (PHC) in Kosovo. A national level survey provides baseline findings intuitively understandable to policymakers on the expectations — perceptions of the quality of services at the PHC level and identifying the quality gap between the expectations and perceptions in all dimensions of different facilities. This comparative test will show the differences between the level of quality services provided by each PHC provider in Kosovo. This research seeks to improve the access and the quality of the priority services at PHC, including maternal and child health (MCH) and non-communicable disease (NCD). This research showed that at the national level the patients have higher expectations toward PHC services. Whereas, in specific, this study showed that there is a significant gap in expected and perceived services of the PHC system between different ethnic patients and different levels of citizen education. Therefore, the result of this study will contribute to enhancing the sustainability of the mandatory health insurance reform and raise the alarm of relevant institutions to reshape the policy-making in order to improve the population health outcome.

In this study, an agricultural waste product was used to prepare a green corrosion inhibitor based on olive leaves (Olea europaea var. syslvestris). Firstly, an optimization study of antioxidant activity of O. europaea leaves monitored by the DPPH free radical trapping method, was carried out using full factorial design. In the second step, the extract obtained under optimal conditions was tested as a green corrosion inhibitor for steel in 0.5 mol dm-3 HCl, using gravimetric and electrochemical methods. The results obtained by various techniques showed that the extract acted as a mixed-type inhibitor. The adsorption of the inhibitor was spontaneous (?Gads = ?12.443 kJ mol-1), through the mechanism of physical adsorption, and it obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The highest corrosion inhibition efficiency of 92 % was obtained for 2.8 10-3 g cm-3of inhibitor, as measured by gravimetric method.

Introduction/Objective. Our study aimed to estimate the prevalence of glaucoma and its subtypes in the population of Novi Sad, Vojvodina, Serbia, and provide the demographic and clinical analysis of glaucoma patients involved. Methods. Our study was designed as an observational, retrospective, cross-sectional, monocentric, including all the patients with the address of residence within the city of Novi Sad, with clinically diagnosed glaucoma, at least in one eye, treated at the University Eye Clinic, Clinical Centre of Vojvodina, Novi Sad. We analyzed the five-year prevalence of different types of glaucoma, together with the characteristics of visual field and risk factors in the form of coexisting diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension. Results. Almost half of 3254 included patients (48.28%) were diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), and its prevalence in the total population of Novi Sad was estimated to be 0.46%. The prevalence of other glaucoma types was as follows: primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) 0.17%, secondary glaucoma 0.09%, pseudoexfoliation glaucoma 0.09%, normal-tension glaucoma 0.13%, pigmentary glaucoma 0.01%, and juvenile glaucoma 0.01%. In the population above 40 years of age, the prevalence of all glaucoma cases was 1.9%, while the prevalence of POAG was 0.93%, and the prevalence of PACG was 0.35%. Conclusion. Our study represents the first attempt to address the epidemiological problems of glaucoma in our region in a comprehensive, evidence-based way. The prevalence of various glaucoma types and observed age-specific prevalence trends were lower than those published by other authors involving comparable populations, and we offered several potential explanations for this in our paper.

Published: August 2022

Kegiatan pengabdian ini berfokus pada pembutan gambar detailed engineering design (DED) arsitektural masjid yang menggunakan konsep arsitektur Lampung. Kegiatan diawali dengan survey lokasi masjid dan merangkum kebutuhan pihak pemilik masjid sehingga dapat dilakukan proses pra rancangan. Gambar desain skematis (schematic design) digunakan sebagai bahan diskusi hingga disetujui oleh pemilik, kemudian dikeluarkan gambar dan dokumen desain yang disetujui pemilik yang berisi gambar ilustrasi (3 dimensi) konseptual dan ukuran keterbangunan (conceptual drawing), pada tahap akhir dikbuatkan gambar DED sebagai gambar kerja untuk pekerjaan fisik. Perancangan Masjid dengan pendekatan arsitektur Lampung merupakan salah satu karakter arsitektur islami yang mengembalikan langgam bangunan kepada nilai-nilai keislaman yang bersumber pada Al-quran dan Hadits, yang mengambil beberapa aspek yang dapat dikembangkan pada desain masjid: efisiensi, egaliter, privasi dan kearifan lokal. Kearifan lokal ini sejalan dengan konsep arsitektur lampung pada bangunan masjid yang tanggap lokasi, dan merupakan salah satu cara meningkatkan performa bangunan. Penghawaan alami, arah bukaan bangunan dan pemilihan material, menjadi pertimbangan dalam proses perancangan masjid ini. Luaran bantuan teknis ini dapat dijadikan gambar dokumen pelaksanaan oleh pemilik. Selain itu luaran dapat digunakan untuk rencana pentahapan pembangunan dan ilustrasi pendanaan guna mencari donatur.
