Performance of the Q-Matrix Validation Methods in the DINA Model
Authors: KALKAN Ömür Kaya , TOPRAK Emre
Published: October 2022

All cognitive diagnostic models that evaluate educational test data require a Q-matrix that combines every item in a test with the required cognitive skills for each item to be answered correctly. Generally, the Q-matrix is constructed by education experts' judgment, leading to some uncertainty in its elements. Various statistical methods are suggested to validate misspecifications in the Q-matrix. This paper evaluates the performance of the Q-matrix validation methods, thesequential expectation-maximization-based δ-method (SEM δ-method), and the Q-matrix refinement (QMR) method using a study with real data and simulations.The simulation design results showed that the misspecification percentage and the length of the test had a small or no effect on the mean q-entry recovery rates (MRRs) of both methods, while the increase in sample size had an improving effect. The MRRs of both methods decreased when the number of attributes and guessing (g) -slip (s) parameters increased. According to simulation study results, the QMR method performed better than the SEM δ-method. For the q-matrix validation, it can be suggested that CDM practitioners prioritize the QMR method and use a sample size of 1,000. On the other hand, the real data results revealed that the MRRs of both methods were at the base rates. This result highlights the need for further research on method comparison, specifically for real-world data applications where the number of attributes is relatively large and the test duration is short.

Authors: ÜLKER TÜMLÜ Gamze
Published: October 2022

This study examined the effect of Discrimination Model (DM)-based group supervision on novice supervisees' counseling self-efficacy and insight levels. The study used a pretest-posttest model with 3X2 quasi-experimental, comparison, and control groups. Eighteen novice supervisees (6 participates in each group) constituted the participants. Two-factor ANOVA for mixed designs/split-plot tests was performed to analyze the data. The results revealed that DM-based group supervision significantly increased the levels of Helping Skill Self-efficacy (HSS), Session Management Self-efficacy (SMS), Counseling Challenges Self-efficacy (CCS), and Insight of novice supervisees. The comparison group showed significant changes only in their HSS and SMS levels, but not in their CCS and Insight levels. The results revealed that DM-based group supervision led to a significant difference in novice supervisees' SMS, CCS, and Insight levels compared to the comparison group. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of their HSS levels. Moreover, the control group did not score differently regarding the research variables. DM-based group supervision is an effective way for novice supervisees to develop counseling self-efficacy and insight. Findings provide an empirically-based clinical map for those aiming to provide effective supervision.

Анализ организации питания в общеобразовательных учреждениях многих областей Российской Федерации в 2018-2021 гг. выявил недостаточный уровень включения рыбных блюд в меню. В связи с этим часто была занижена фактическая пищевая ценность школьных рационов, в частности содержание кальция и фосфора, по сравнению с установленными нормами. Необходимость обеспечения школьников страны сбалансированным, здоровым питанием определяет актуальность разработки новых логистических и технологических схем, гарантирующих доставку, приготовление, хранение рыбных блюд. Разработана уникальная технология «Криоинтегральная кулинария» (КИК). Глубокое переохлаждение осуществляется в поле действия акустических волн, которые создают внутри клеточной структуры и в межклеточном пространстве замораживаемого продукта микроскопические ледяные кластеры, соответствующие макроструктурным образованиям воды. Продукция, произведенная в таких условиях, обладает новыми уникальными свойствами. Органолептические показатели блюд из рыбы, полученных по КИК-технологии, после хранения в течение 5 месяцев были аналогичны свежеприготовленным блюдам и значительно превышали аналогичные характеристики контрольных блюд, хранившихся после шоковой заморозки. Полученные по КИК-технологии рыбные блюда могут быть рекомендованы для широкого введения в действующие рационы школьного питания.

Analysis of catering in educational institutions in many regions of the Russian Federation in 2018-2021 revealed an insufficient level of inclusion of fish dishes in the menu. In this regard, the actual nutritional value of school rations, in particular the content of calcium and phosphorus, was often underestimated in comparison with the established norms. The need to provide schoolchildren in the country with a balanced, healthy diet determines the relevance of developing new logistics and technological schemes that guarantee the delivery, preparation, and storage of fish dishes. A unique technology «Cryointegral Cooking» (CIC) has been developed. Deep supercooling is carried out in the field of action of acoustic waves, which create microscopic ice clusters inside the cellular structure and in the intercellular space of the frozen product, corresponding to the macrostructural formations of water. Products manufactured under such conditions have new unique properties. The organoleptic characteristics of fish dishes obtained by CIC technology after storage for 5 months were similar to freshly prepared dishes and significantly exceeded the similar characteristics of control dishes stored after shock freezing. The fish dishes obtained using the CIC technology can be recommended for wide introduction into the current school meals rations.

Published: October 2022

So far, many researchers have prepared a basic framework for haircuts. However, the trendy aspect, that is, the study on trend cut, is still insufficient. Therefore, I try to demonstrate the design form according to the head split position and slice line in two block Bob cut. This study is about the head region segmentation and slice line of two block and disconnection cut. The top area was named as the top area starting from Top Golden Medium Point, Golden Point, and Golden Back Medium Point, and the bottom area was named as the bottom area, but it was excluded from the measurement. The point used for measurement was 10cm from the point, 40 degrees of the head surgery angle, V line, parallel line, and A line. The results of this study are as follows. First, the head region was observed to be bangs as the head area was upward. Second, the A-line has a long hair length, so the face shape is small, and the head shape is large. On the contrary, the V-line large in the face type, and the head shape looks small. Third, the weight and calmness are suitable for the one-lining cut. The natural layer and volume feel are suitable for the gradation cut. Fourth, changing the way you think about connections can create new forms. If we can understand and apply the cut more easily and quickly, we expect that various cut designs can be created infinitely.

Authors: Lee Sun-Min , Kim Kyung-Eun
Published: October 2022

This study aimed to examine the generational differences in vegan cosmetics usage of the MZ generation recently emerging as the primary target group for such cosmetics and to investigate the effect of Social Networking Services (SNS) marketing on vegan cosmetics purchasing behavior. For this purpose, online and mobile surveys were conducted targeting Generation M, born between 1980 and 1995, and Generation Z, born between 1995 and 2004. The collected data were statistically analyzed using the SPSS WIN 25.0 program. According to the analysis results, both Generations M and Z showed a high response rate to having no experience in using vegan cosmetics, with Generation M displaying more experience than Z. Both generations showed high response rates to having experience in SNS marketing for vegan cosmetics, with Generation Z displaying more experience than M. However, both generations showed high response rates to having no purchasing experience after encountering SNS marketing for vegan cosmetics, with Generation Z displaying a lower purchasing experience than M. This means that effective SNS marketing leading to purchases for all MZ generations is needed. Additionally, reliability and information provision are the factors that positively affect vegan cosmetics purchasing behavior among SNS marketing characteristics. Therefore, marketers should develop content that can be trusted by SNS users encountering SNS marketing for vegan cosmetics and continuously provide vegan cosmetics information to affect vegan cosmetics purchasing behavior positively. Furthermore, more efficient marketing through understanding the MZ generation and targeting SNS marketing tailored to each generation in consideration of their characteristics will be needed.

Authors: Choi Jae-Eun , Jang Tae-Su , Kim Jae-Kyung
Published: October 2022

The emergence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms represents a global challenge owing to the lack of new effective antimicrobial agents. Essential oils could be an alternative to antibiotics because of their anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, and antibiofilm activities. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the antibacterial activity of essential oils as an alternative to antibiotics. In the present study, we cultured methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with two concentrations (0.5% and 1.0%) of 17 types of essential oils and the antibiotic oxacillin as the control. The optical density of the culture suspensions at 600 nm was determined to assess the effect of the essential oils on MRSA. At 0.5% concentration, 8 essential oils demonstrated higher antibacterial activity than oxacillin, with palmarosa, melissa true, and rose geranium showing the highest antibacterial activity. At 1% concentration, 13 essential oils showed higher antibacterial activity than oxacillin, with melissa true, palmarosa, lemongrass, and rosemary verbenone showing the highest antibacterial activity. Furthermore, essential oils isolated from leaves showed higher antibacterial ability. Overall, the antibacterial activity of essential oils against MRSA varied with the concentration, type, and extraction site. Therefore, our study provides a basis for the selection and use of essential oils for antibacterial activity against MRSA.

The purpose of this study is to use a total of 339 questionnaires through SPSS 24.0 to understand the effect of SNS beauty content usage characteristics and hair style interest on hair management behavior by age, and the results of this study are as follows. First of all, hair management behavior according to SNS beauty content had a positive effect on SNS interest and reliability from teenagers to those in their 50s and older. However, it was confirmed that SNS reliability was somewhat less influential. Second, hair management behavior according to hair style interest showed a positive influence on hair style transformation by age group from 20s to 50s, excluding teenagers. In the conclusion and suggestion of this study, it was found that all age groups are interested in SNS, and the higher the interest in hairstyle, the greater the influence on hair management. However, as the reliability of SNS is low, it is necessary to pay attention to increasing the reliability by providing high-quality and good information on SNS beauty content. We hope that research on the utilization of beauty content according to gender will continue in the future.

Avrupa ülkelerinde göçmenlere özel olarak farklı farklı dillerde hazırlanmış olan sağlık rehberleri bulunmaktadır. Bu rehberler hastane içi yönlendirmeleri ve önemli bilgileri kısaca anlatmakta ve göçmenleri ihtiyaç duydukları adreslere yönlendirmektedir. Amerika ve Avrupa ülkelerinden Almanya, İsviçre, Avusturya gibi ülkelerde göçmen kadınların kültürel kimliklerinin ve ana dillerinin daha az engel oluşturduğu, fırsat eşitliğinin bir nebze de olsa sağlandığı, üreme sağlığı ve koruyucu sağlık hizmetlerinden yararlanmalarına katkıda bulundukları ortaya çıkmıştır. Yürütmekte oldukları göçmenlere özgü doğuma hazırlık sınıfları, danışmanlık birimleri ve bilgilendirme broşürleri bulunmaktadır. Danışmanlık birimlerinde gebelik öncesi bakımdan postpartum depresyona kadar her türlü konuda danışmanlık hizmeti alınmaktadır. Genellikle ebelerin açmış oldukları ve belediye destekli olan danışmanlık merkezlerinde çeviri hatalarına engel olmak amaçlı kültürlerarası tercümanlar ve kendi dillerinde danışmanlık hizmeti alabilecekleri telefon hatları bulunmaktadır. Türkiye'de ise 2017 yılından itibaren bazı devlet hastanelerinde göçmen kadınlara ebeler eşliğinde Arapça ardıl çeviri ile gebe okulu eğitimi verilmeye başlandı. Ancak ne yazık ki bu eğitimler pandemi kısıtlamaları nedeniyle kesintiye uğradı. Göçmenlere yönelik mevcut sosyal yardım ve ödeneklerin artırılması, göçmenlerin sağlık okuryazarlığının artırılmasına yönelik bilinçlendirme eğitimlerinin verilmesi ve göçmen kadınların doğum bakımı hizmetlerine uygun erişimlerinin sağlanması ile göçmen dostu hizmetlerdeki eksikliğin giderilebileceği düşünülmektedir.

DP-Kmeans and Beyond: Optimal Clustering with a new Clustering Validity Index
Authors: Zhu-Juan Ma Zhu-Juan Ma , Zhu-Juan Ma Zi-Han Wang , Zi-Han Wang Xiang-Hua Chen , Xiang-Hua Chen Feng Liu
Published: October 2022

The K-means clustering algorithm is widely used in many areas for its high efficiency. However, the performance of the traditional K-means algorithm is very sensitive to the selection of initial clustering centers. Furthermore, except the convex distributed datasets, the traditional K-means algorithm still cannot optimally process many non-convex distributed datasets and datasets with outliers. To this end, this paper proposes the DP-Kmeans, an improved K-means algorithm based on the Density Parameter and center replacement, which can be more accurate than the traditional K-means by dropping the random selection of the initial clustering centers and continuous updating of the new centers. Due to the unsupervised learning feature, the number of clusters and the quality of data partitions generated by the clustering algorithm cannot be guaranteed. In order to evaluate the results of the DP-Kmeans algorithm, this paper proposes the SII, a new clustering validity index based on the Sum of the Inner-cluster compactness and the Inter-cluster separateness. Based on the DP-Kmeans algorithm and the SII index, a new method is proposed to determine the optimal clustering numbers for different datasets. Experimental results on ten datasets with different distributions demonstrate that the proposed clustering method is more effective the existing ones.

Vibration occurs when a vehicle passes through a speed bump, which has different intensities at different sizes and speeds. The recognition of speed bump type is an important step for vehicle to adjust speed automatically in time in automatic driving, which helps to improve the safety and comfort of passengers. In this paper, we put forward the technical requirements of speed bump image acquisition in automatic driving scene, and establish the speed bump image dataset. Based on improved EfficientNet basic block, we construct a lightweight convolutional neural network integrating edge detection, which is named Edge-Efficientnet. The experimental results show that its accuracy is improved by 3.3% and the model size is reduced by 53% compared with EfficientNetB0 model. In terms of computing speed, the model meets the real-time performance requirements. The Edge-Efficientnet model can be applied to the comfortable speed adjustment of autonomous vehicles passing through speed bump.

Published: October 2022

To study the optimization problem of freight train operation process under complex line conditions, this paper adopts the freight train multi-particle model to establish the multi-objective optimization model of the freight train. Aiming at the problem of difficult optimization caused by complex line conditions, a two-step method is used to find the optimal operation strategy of the freight train. Firstly, the greedy algorithm is used to select the optimal working condition sequence. Secondly, the multi-objective optimization algorithm is used to obtain the position of the ideal working condition transition point. By introducing the idea of non-dominated sorting, an improved multi-objective bald eagle search algorithm is proposed to optimize the operation process of freight trains. This algorithm adopts the evolution method of combining bald eagle population renewal with adaptive Gaussian mutation, and introduces preference information to increase the rationality of population evolution. The simulation results show that the optimal operation strategy of freight train selected by two-step method is in line with the actual operation situation, and the proposed multi-objective bald eagle search algorithm considers both convergence and distribution. The results can satisfy the preference of decision-makers, which can provide a reference target speed curve for railway workers.

As agriculture enters the 4.0 era, the demand for intelligent and precise agricultural production is gradually increasing. However, the high cost of agricultural data collection, insufficient decision-making models and low level of intelligence are still the main obstacles to the improvement of land output rate and labor productivity in the process of agricultural production. In this paper, to address the long-standing problems of high cost of soil nitrogen content sampling, difficulty in acquiring soil nitrogen content and reduced accuracy of model long-term prediction during melon growth, a soil nitrogen content prediction model based on improved BP neural network combining a small amount of sampling and a comprehensive model is constructed to realize intelligent decision making of melon nitrogen fertilizer application.

Aim: To determine the frequency and associated factors of contraceptives usage amongst married women in District Okara, Punjab. Methodology: To highlight the factors that have a positive impact in increasing the knowledge and all the barriers that hinder the usage of contraceptive a regional survey was conducted in which 350 married women 175 from rural and 175 from urban areas of Okara were selected through convenient sampling. Logistic regression was used in determination of the link between different explanatory variables with outcome variables that was the usage of contraceptives. Results: 37.42% women used contraceptives in both rural and urban areas of Okara. Different economic activity shaped by various social factors was pinpointed. Information, education and facts about modern birth control methods, women’s bodily autonomy and the need to have another newborn in future were a few of highlighted associated factors. Conclusions: This study depicts that women empowerment was consistently and positively linked with intention to use contraception. Moreover, updated and modern information related contraceptive services and personal motivation to have a child were the censorious factors in usage of present time contraceptive services. Hence these aroused problems need serious attention in formulating policies regarding maternal health in Pakistan. Keywords: Maternal health, contraceptive services, lady health care workers

Introduction: This study examined the association between addiction of social media and depression among medical students. Social Media is the online administrations where individuals can communicate with each other by distinctive ways like enjoying, commenting and sharing are collectively known as social media. Depression is one of the major mental wellbeing issues around the world, particularly among youthful adults. According to World Health Organization (WHO), more than 264 million individuals suffer from depression. Depression can cause the severe issues in people to suffer significantly in their way of life and it basically affects their every day schedule activities such as studying, working and family chores, though the extreme level of misery can lead to suicide. Around 800 000 individuals commit suicide each year and suicide is identified as the moment leading cause of death among teen agers. Objective: To investigate the association between addiction of social media and depression among medical student Material and Methods Study design: Quantitative cross sectional Settings: Rawalpindi Medical University Duration: Six months i.e. 1st April 2022 to 30th July 2022 Data Collection procedure: A pre validated questionnaire was used. Total numbers of participants were 150. Addiction of social media was measured utilizing Dr Kimberly Young’s Web Habit Test (IAT). Depression was calculated by the Middle for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) which was established by Lenore Radloff. Results: Total numbers of students 150 who were participated after taking the informed consent and use regular platform of social media and subscribed. Males were 110 and females 40. Internal consistency was perfect. Cronbach’ Alpha value was more than .82 in both depression and addiction of social media. Mean and standard deviation was calculated. The values of skewness and kurtosis were also calculated Conclusion: this study uncovers that social media compulsion has a positive relationship with depression among students. In other words, the higher the student addiction level, and the more prominent his/her sadness level is. Keywords: Social Media, Depression, Students, Addiction

For an orthodontist, changes in the width of the arch caused by treatment with fixed appliances are important. Understanding these changes is critical to your physician's planning for treatment. Aim: The purpose of the study was to compare and determine the width of the inter- molar arch in cases of class II, division 1 before and 4 months after fixed orthodontic treatment. Study Design: A cross-sectional intervention study. Place and Duration: In the Orthodontics department of Jam Ghulam Qadir Govt. Hospital, Hub Govt of Balochistan and Bhitai Dental and Medical College Mirpurkhas, for six-months duration from July 2021 to December 2021. Methods: 200 Class II Division 1 malocclusion patients were included by the purposive non- probability technique of sampling. 14 to 28 years was the patients age range. The impressions of the upper arch were measured before and six months after orthodontic treatment, and the maxillary inter-molar width was measured. Standard 0.012 Nitinol to 0.019x0.028 arch wires were used. The width of the inter-molar arch was taken as the transverse distance from the central fossa of the 1st molar on one side of the same arch to the central fossa of the 1st molar on the same arch of other side. Results: 200 Class II Division 1 malocclusion patients were included (120 males and 80 females) with 14-28 years of age range and 18.24 ± 2.8 years of mean age. The mean values of the inter-molar width in the entire sample were 46.01 mm ± 2.58 mm in T1 and 48.201 mm ± 2.70 mm in T2 (Table 2). The mean width of the inter-molar arches in men and women before treatment was 43.7± 2.2 mm and 46.2 ± 2.8 mm. Though, the mean T2 inter-molar arch width after treatment was 47.1 ± 2.3 mm in women and 48.3 ± 2.7 mm in men. Conclusion: There was an average rise in the width of the inter-molar arch by 1.7 mm before and after treatment, therefore the orthodontist should consider the mechanics of expanding the arch, especially when the treatment plan does not include extractions.
