Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has extensively affected the public physical and mental health, especially the medical staff working in the COVID-19 wards of hospitals. Objective This study aims to evaluate the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety sensitivity (AS), and resilience among hospital medical staff in Rasht, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This is an analytical cross-sectional study. The study population consists of all medical staff working in the COVID-19 wards of Poursina and Razi hospitals in Rasht, Iran. Of these, 94 participated who were selected using a convenience sampling method. Weathers et al.’s post-traumatic stress disorder checklist, Reiss et al.’s AS index, and Connor-Davidson resilience scale were used for data collection. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation test and multiple linear regression analysis. Results There was a significant negative correlation between PTSD and resilience (r‌=‌-0.405, P‌=‌0.001). and a significant positive correlation between PTSD and AS (r=0.633, P=0.001). The results of multiple analyses showed that resilience (B=-0.208, P=0.004) and AS (B=0.574, P=0.001) could significantly explain the PTSD in medical staff. Conclusion Resilience can be an important protective factor against PTSD in hospital medical staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. The medial staff with AS may experience the symptoms of PTSD more.

Background Dental abnormalities are considered important, since they cause aesthetic and functional problems for people. Orthodontic treatment becomes more complicated when craniofacial abnormalities are accompanied with dental abnormalities. Objective This study aims to compare the frequency and type of dental abnormalities among patients with different skeletal malocclusion classes in northern Iran in terms of age and gender. Methods Participants were 310 patients (32.9% Class I, 33.9% Class II, and 33.2% Class III). They were evaluated with respect to hypodontia, hyperdontia, impaction, microdontia, macrodontia, and dens invaginatus/evaginatus. Association of the prevalence of dental abnormalities with the type of malocclusion and gender was assessed by chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test, while independent t-test was used to determine its association with age. Results The overall frequency of dental abnormalities was 33%. Class III patients had the highest rate of dental abnormalities (40.8%); however, the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.105). Hypodontia and impacted teeth were the most frequent abnormalities in all malocclusion groups. Occurrence of tooth impaction differed significantly among the three malocclusion groups (P<0.001), where the highest rate belonged to the class III group. Hypodontia was more frequent in males (P=0.040). Tooth impaction and microdontia were the two abnormalities that showed significant association with age (P<0.05). Conclusion Dental abnormalities in northern Iran is more prevalent among people with the skeletal class III malocclusion. The prevalence of some dental abnormalities is associated with gender and age.

The current problem is that performance is still far below expectations, and while the accumulation of capital investment has not been encouraging, this is presumably because marketing competence is still a concern. This study aims to determine the effect of marketing competence on the accumulation of capital investment and its implications for performance through a case study of the business built by the West Java Chamber of Commerce. The research method applied is a descriptive-analytical survey method, and the sample used is 45 respondents. The variables studied for each respondent are marketing competence, capital investment accumulation, and performance. The type of data collected is primary data. The results of the study indicate that marketing competence has no effect and is not significant for the accumulation of capital investment. the accumulation of capital investment and its significant effect on performance. The implication is that marketing competencies need to be applied programmatically and massively. The object of this research is that the sample of respondents used is still limited to the businesses assisted by the West Java Chamber of Commerce in Bandung; therefore, further research based on more varied sampling with a longer duration is necessary in order to obtain generalizable results.

“It’s All French Over There!”
Authors: Anderson Roger
Published: January 2023

This narrative recounts one U.S. professor of French quest to locate French-speaking communities of Ontario, Canada. After one week of wasted travel and repeated frustration from misguided tips, one brief but spectacular moment occurred in a village grocery store.  It upended his pre-conceived understanding of this group and their linguistic practices. Drawing from sociological theories Bourdieu, Foucault, and Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, the author analyzes the totality of his quest, from exasperation to enlightenment. This cross-border narrative demonstrates that even highly educated individuals can be ineffective within new ecological systems because of their inability to recognize the influence of their own microsystems. Analysis suggests that a network configuration of Bronfenbrenner’s model, rather than a nested one, more accurately reflects this linguistic landscape. Finally, Foucault’s heterotopia helps explain the misrecognition of community’s language practices. The essay subsequently offers advice to quest-takers, those seeking to understand /belong to a new culture.

Published: January 2023

Mindset beliefs (beliefs about malleability of human attributes) influenced the psychological adjustment of undergraduate students during the pandemic. This study investigated the role of mindset beliefs about to adaptability (the ability to adapt to change) in shaping mental health and behavioral engagement of international and domestic students in the U.S. The psychological experiences of 98 international students and 98 domestic counterparts enrolled at a public U.S. institution during Fall 2020 were compared. Tests of mean differences showed that international students reported a stronger view, relative to domestic students, that people could become more adaptable to changing circumstances and better mental health. The two groups did not differ in their behavioral engagement. Path analysis showed that mental health mediated the relationship between international student status and behavioral engagement, whereas mindset beliefs about adaptability did not. The findings highlight the psychological strengths of international students.

Published: January 2023

This study aimed to determine the influence of attitudes, subjective norms and perception control modified with religiosity, product knowledge of buying intentions and consumer behaviour in purchasing halal cosmetic products. The halal-labeled cosmetic sector is expected to thrive in Banten. The consumption and expenditure among Banten Muslimah on cosmetic products in personal body care, beauty and wellness products are increasing rapidly over time. At the same time, government bodies have to make sure that manufacturers comply with Banten Halal and Shari’a standards. The subject in this study is Muslimah students aged 17-23 years studying at UIN Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten. This research uses purposive sampling in collecting the sample. The analytical method used is multiple linear regressions. A closed questionnaire is used in this research for up to 107 samples. This paper studies the effect of knowledge, attitude and practice on the perception of consumer toward halal labeled cosmetic products in Banten. This study is useful to fill the gaps in the Banten literature regarding the importance of knowledge and its relationship with the attitude and practice. The findings of this study show that religiosity, product knowledge, attitudes, subjective norms, and perception control have a positive and significant influence on consumer intentions in buying halal cosmetic products. All of that affects consumers' attitudes in choosing cosmetic products labeled halal. The marketing of halal products is no less competitive with non-halal cosmetic products. It is expected to know the halal label and its content for every cosmetic product that will be used to avoid products that are not halal or forbidden by Shari'a. It aims to care for and protect an Islamic worldview and life.

GEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE OFFSHORE SEDIMENTARY BASIN OF NORTH CENTRAL JAVA BASED ON SPECTRAL ANALYSIS AND 2D GRAVITY MODELING
Authors: Ningsih Restu , Setiadi Imam , Rahardiawan Riza , Dewanto Ordas , Mulyasari Rahmi
Published: January 2023

The offshore sedimentary basin of North Central Java is a marine basin located in the northern part of North Serayu Basin. This basin was formed through the uplift of the southern part of Central Java (Bumiayu) caused by the movement of a pair of horizontal faults. Studies of sub-basin delineation and basement configuration are rarely carried out in this basin. Therefore, the gravity method referring to subsurface-density variations was carried out to obtain this information. This research aims to delineate sedimentary basins and interpret the geological subsurface based on gravity data using spectral analysis, highpass and lowpass filters, also 2D gravity modeling. An average estimation depth to the basement in the study area of about 2.22 km was determined using spectral analysis. Qualitative analysis shows the basement-high pattern, sub-basin, and structure lineament patterns. The 2D model shows three layers consisting of the upper sedimentary layer of Tertiary-Neogene and the middle layer of Tertiary-Paleogene sediment with a density value of 2.3 gr/cc and 2.5 gr/cc, respectively. The lower layer has the highest density of 2.67 gr/cc, assumed as a granitic basement. The results of the Second Vertical Derivative (SVD) analysis on the residual anomaly cross-sectional paths indicate the presence of thrust and normal faults which can be used to assist the interpretation of fault structures in subsurface geological models. Gravity analysis of the offshore North Central Java sedimentary basin indicates the occurrence of sub-basins and geological structure patterns that considered as a potential zone for the development of the petroleum system in this area.

O conhecimento básico que não está na base
Authors:   Carla Dendasck, Cosmo Bruno Marcos Nunes ,   Claudio Alberto Gellis,   Reza Nassiri
Published: January 2023

A educação representa o recurso mais versátil e de maior potencial latente para qualquer nação. Conforme mencionado por Nelson Mandela: “A educação é a arma mais poderosa que você pode usar para mudar o mundo” (TIMBANE, 2022). Etimologicamente a palavra educação provém do latim “Educare”, derivado de Ex (fora, exterior) e ducere (guiar, conduzir), assim, educação pode ser compreendida como guiar para fora, instruir, conduzir ao exterior e afins (GUERREIRO; CHAGAS; LACERDA, 2022). Basicamente toda sociedade vale-se da educação para gerar, disseminar e acumular conhecimento. A palavra conhecimento também deriva do latim “cognoscere” traduzido como o ato de conhecer ou saber (SOUSA; ARARIPE, 2021). Historicamente o conhecimento foi adquirido por processos de experimentação e teste. Contudo, o avanço social e o advento da educação possibilitaram que o conhecimento adquirido em gerações e locais distintos fosse transmitido e compartilhado. Ao longo da história do desenvolvimento humano diversas instituições foram responsáveis pelos processos educacionais e aquisição de conhecimentos. A família e a escola são potencialmente as principais instituições envolvidas no processo educacional. A escola surgiu como uma organização complementar, buscando socializar as crianças e jovens e homogeneizar a obtenção de determinadas informações (COSTA; SILVA; SOUZA, 2019). A escola como instituição educacional possui uma história marcada por avanços e modificações que não cabem ser descritos neste momento. Na atualidade a escola tornou-se o principal veículo de interação social e aquisição de conhecimentos. Contudo, este veículo ainda está se moldando diante de uma sociedade com novas formatações individuais e coletivas, bem como profissionais e pessoais (novas profissões, teorias financeiras, males de natureza psicológica, objetivos ao decorrer da vida e afins) (VILAÇA; ARAUJO, 2016; ALMEIDA, 2018). Neste contexto, muitos conceitos e/ ou valores estão sendo reestruturados e carecem de uma abordagem inovadora. O desenvolvimento socioeconômico de uma sociedade está diretamente vinculado ao avanço científico e seu relacionamento com os setores industriais, ou seja, o conhecimento científico deverá ser convertido em serviços e produtos que agregaram com a sociedade em diferentes instâncias (CASAGRANDE et al., 2022; WILLIG, 2022). Quando o nível basal de informação e expressão do conhecimento de uma sociedade é diversificado e elevado, melhores tendem a ser as condições de desenvolvimento da mesma (NUNES et al., 2014; PORTO JR.; RIBEIRO, 2021). Neste contexto, o estudo buscou apresentar e descrever os impactos de diferentes esferas de conhecimento/ desenvolvimento do indivíduo em sua formação.
Os desafios da iniciação científica dos alunos de engenharia da faculdade anhanguera de Serra/ES

Published: January 2023

A Faculdade Anhanguera de Serra/ES, do grupo educacional Kroton, possui três cursos de Engenharia (Civil, Mecânica e Produção) e apresenta uma disciplina chamada de “Engenharia, Ciência e Tecnologia” – comum a todas - cujo objetivo é ensinar aos alunos o exercício da engenharia, as responsabilidades legais e sociais, ética profissional, comunicação e expressão na engenharia, bem como a produzir trabalhos científicos, passando desde a base teórica – ciência, lógica e método científico, até abordar a prática da metodologia científica. Como se trata de uma disciplina ministrada no início de cada curso, conteúdos de iniciação à pesquisa são imprescindíveis, como: pesquisa bibliográfica, revisão da bibliografia como processo de investigação científica, trabalhos científicos, pesquisa documental, projeto de pesquisa, coleta de dados, pesquisa qualitativa/quantitativa, normas técnicas para trabalhos científicos, dentre outros. O enfoque, nesse caso, é contextualizar como que a pesquisa científica pode contribuir com a formação do discente, inclusive, treinando-o para a elaboração de seu Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (TCC). A metodologia de ensino adotada na Instituição mencionada é a Sala de Aula Invertida (SAI) com uso das tecnologias digitais, ou seja, quando os alunos passam a ser o protagonista de seu aprendizado, utilizando o professor apenas como mediador para firmar o conhecimento aprendido fora do tempo da faculdade (BERGMANN, 2018). Esse recurso permite que o tempo em sala de aula seja aproveitado para o diálogo e troca de cases que mobilizam os alunos a refletirem e tomar decisões, favorecendo o aprendizado na prática. Kenski (2012) aluda sobre a evolução e mudança da educação favorecidas pelo uso das tecnologias e reforça que o método tradicional de ensino não é assertivo na real finalidade de oferecer condições de aprendizagem aos alunos, onde o professor não consegue alcançar, na maioria das vezes, os interesses, necessidades e especificidades de cada um. Corroborando com este pensamento, a metodologia de ensino de Sala de Aula Invertida, o curto prazo e o uso das tecnologias colaboram com a criação da autonomia dos alunos em relação a suas próprias aprendizagens, além de ampliarem as possibilidades de ensino e fortalecerem os vínculos entre professores e alunos. Tendo em vista que o sucesso da disciplina resulta da atuação dos alunos, começam a aparecer os desafios na aplicação da SAI, ainda mais ensinar metodologia científica compilada à teoria da engenharia. É notado pelo professor, desde a primeira aula, quando ele se depara com os alunos faltosos com suas responsabilidades, ou seja, aqueles que deveriam ter estudado o material didático em casa para utilizar o momento presencial da faculdade apenas para a prática e tira-dúvidas.

Published: January 2023

1. Although meta-analysis has become an essential tool in ecology and evolution, reporting of meta-analytic results can still be much improved. To aid this, we have introduced the orchard plot, which presents not only overall estimates and their confidence intervals but also shows corresponding heterogeneity (as prediction intervals) and individual effect sizes. 2. Here, we have added significant enhancements by integrating many new functionalities as orchaRd 2.0. This updated version allows the visualisation of heteroscedasticity (different variances across levels of a categorical moderator), marginal estimates (e.g., marginalising out effects other than the one visualized), conditional estimates (i.e., estimates of different groups conditioned upon specific values of a continuous variable), and visualizations of all types of interactions between two categorical/continuous moderators.3. orchaRd 2.0 has additional functions which calculate key statistics from multilevel meta-analytic models such as I2 and R2. Importantly, orchaRd 2.0 contributes to better reporting by complying with PRISMA-EcoEvo (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses in ecology and evolution). Taken together, orchaRd 2.0 can improve the presentation of meta-analytic results and facilitate the exploration of previously neglected patterns. 4. In addition, as a part of a literature survey, we found that graphical packages are rarely cited (~3%). We plea that researchers credit developers and maintainers of graphical packages, e.g., by citations in a figure legend, acknowledging the use of relevant packages.

Exploring the transfer effects of social skills interventions for individuals with serious mental illness: A scoping review
Authors: Hoy Kathleen , Roher Samara , Duncan Andrea
Published: January 2023

Objective: Adults with serious mental illness face unique social challenges. Deficits in social cognition and social isolation can impede one’s ability to engage in meaningful relationships, which can negatively impact a person’s recovery. While the literature has established the proximal effects of social skill interventions, the extent to which the treatment effects generalize to clients’ everyday lives is less conclusive. The objective of this study was to explore the literature and identify the existing social skills interventions for adults with serious mental illness and to understand the techniques used to promote generalizability beyond the clinical context. Research Design and Methods: A scoping review methodology, using the Arksey and O’Malley framework, was applied. Medline, PsycInfo, and Embase and relevant journals were searched to retrieve articles between 1995 and 2021 that reported on social skills interventions with a follow-up period or mention of transfer of skills. Results: Interventions for social skills training were classified into six categories: social cognition training, traditional social skills training, virtual reality, integrated social skills training, CBT-based training, and contextual social skills training. Four primary themes of potential generalizability techniques used in social skills interventions were identified as: a) targeting cognition, b) facilitating and supporting social opportunities, c) engaging clients’ inner social networks, and d) ensuring goals are concrete and client-centred. Conclusions: For skills training to impact personal recovery and social functioning of adults with serious mental illness, it is necessary to incorporate generalizability into interventions to ensure skills transfer from the clinical setting to their daily lives.
Senior Peer Specialists’ concerns regarding Peer Specialist roles and functions under Medicaid-Managed Care in New Mexico.
Authors: Maviglia Marcello , Charzuk Ashley , Hume Donald
Published: January 2023

Peer Support Specialists are extremely effective in assisting individuals with emotional distress, as shown by consistent data from testimonials and both specialized and gray literature.1,2 Peer interventions contribute to improvements in both self-esteem and confidence, the ability to bring about positive changes, and the feeling that clinical treatment addresses the real needs and aspirations of individuals.3 In the past few years, Peer Support Specialists have been officially recognized as essential figures by Medicaid, Managed Care organizations, and other public health institutions for the of delivery of integrated and coordinated behavioural health services.4 It is worthwhile to note that Medicaid provides health coverage to low-income adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults, and people with disabilities and that Medicaid-managed care provides for the delivery of Medicaid health benefits and additional services through the stipulation of contracts between state Medicaid agencies and managed care organizations.
The recovery process and access to the social capital of people with severe mental health problems: a secondary analysis of a six months follow-up study in five Community Mental Health Teams in England.
Authors: Ngamaba Dr Kayonda Hubert , Moran Dr Nicola , Webber Professor Martin
Published: January 2023

Background: Many developed nations have made recovery-oriented practice a central part of their mental health policy, though less is known about whether mental health outpatients’ access to social capital can improve their recovery process.
Aims: This study investigates the relationship between the recovery process and access to social capital for people with severe mental health conditions.
Methods: This is a secondary analysis of a six-month follow-up study. Service users were recruited from five Community Mental Health Teams in England and interviewed at baseline (n=151) and six-month follow-up (n=127). The recovery process was assessed using the Questionnaire about the Process of Recovery (QPR). All statistical analyses (Pearson’s correlations and multiple regression) were conducted at two different points in time (p< 0.05).
Results: The participants’ experience of recovery increased slightly from baseline (M=45.2, SD=12.18) to six-month follow-up (M=49.72, SD=12.52), which is indicative of recovery. At follow-up, their access to social capital was positively associated with service users’ experience of recovery (B=0.40 p<0.01). People with higher mental well-being scores and more social connections had a better experience of recovery.
Conclusions: This study supports the idea that the experience of recovery can be measured and should be defined by service users. People with higher mental well-being scores and more social connections had a better experience of recovery. This study is a contribution to the international endorsement of recovery-oriented practice which focuses on developing a person-centred rather than a clinician-centred model of recovery for people with severe mental health conditions.
The Theory of Probabilistic Hierarchical Learning for Classification
Authors: Ursani Ziauddin , Ursani Ahsan Ahmad
Published: January 2023

Providing the ability of classification to computers has remained at the core of the faculty of artificial intelligence. Its application has now made inroads towards nearly every walk of life, spreading over healthcare, education, defence, economics, linguistics, sociology, literature, transportation, agriculture, and industry etc. To our understanding most of the problems faced by us can be formulated as classification problems. Therefore, any novel contribution in this area has a great potential of applications in the real world. This paper proposes a novel way of learning from classification datasets i.e., hierarchical learning through set partitioning. The theory of probabilistic hierarchical learning for classification has been evolved through several works while widening its scope with each instance. The theory demonstrates that the classification of any dataset can be learnt by generating a hierarchy of learnt models each capable of classifying a disjoint subset of the training set. The basic assertion behind the theory is that an accurate classification of complex datasets can be achieved through hierarchical application of low complexity models. In this paper, the theory is redefined and revised based on four mathematical principles namely, principle of successive bifurcation, principle of two-tier discrimination, principle of class membership and the principle of selective data normalization. The algorithmic implementation of each principle is also discussed. The scope of the approach is now further widened to include ten popular real-world datasets in its test base. This approach does not only produce their accurate models but also produced above 95% accuracy on average with regard to the generalising ability, which is competitive with the contemporary literature.

Objective: To investigate the effects of incentive spirometry and deep breathing exercises on forced vital capacity (FVC) and chest expansion in preoperative spine surgery patients.
Material & Methods: Fifty-eight patients who were scheduled for spine surgery were recruited from December 2016 to January 2019. Twenty-eight and 30 patients were scheduled for cervical and thoracic/lumbar spine surgery, respectively. All patients were informed of the study protocol, evaluated by a physical therapist, and provided with respiratory training via incentive spirometry and deep breathing exercises. FVC and chest expansion were measured and recorded prior to training, as well as two weeks and four weeks after respiratory training.
Results: In preoperative spine patients, FVC and chest expansion were significantly increased (p<0.05) after respiratory training with incentive spirometry and deep breathing exercises. The FVC in a seated position prior to respiratory training, after 2 weeks of training, and after 4 weeks of training is 2,277.9±599, 2,446.6±614.2, and 2,546.5±591.7 milliliters, respectively. The FVC in the supine position prior to respiratory training, after 2 weeks of training, and after 4 weeks of training is 2,080.2±589, 2,268.3±604.3, and 2,365.9±596.1 milliliters, respectively. Chest expansion in a seated position before respiratory training, after 2-week training, and after 4-week training is 4.2±1.3, 4.6±1.2 and 4.7±1.3 centimeters. Chest expansion in supine position before respiratory training, after 2-week training, and after 4-week training is 3.9±1.2, 4.5±1.3 and 4.5±1.2 centimeters respectively.
Conclusion: Preoperative respiratory training for 2 weeks and 4 weeks using incentive spirometry and conventional deep breathing exercises significantly increased both FVC and chest expansion in patients undergoing spine surgery.

Trabalho de equipa no cuidado a pessoas idosas: especificidades do especialista em enfermagem de reabilitação
Authors: Duarte Monteiro Maria Clara , Martins Maria Manuela , Dornelles Schoeller Soraia
Published: January 2023

Introdução: Perante os desafios da sociedade atual cada vez mais envelhecida, o trabalho em equipa entre enfermeiros e enfermeiros especialistas de reabilitação é imprescindível para garantir qualidade na assistência à saúde dos idosos.
Objetivo: Analisar a diferença entre a prática profissional dos enfermeiros de cuidados gerais e dos enfermeiros especialistas de reabilitação, no trabalho de equipa desenvolvido no cuidado a pessoas idosas.
Metodologia: Estudo quantitativo, descritivo-exploratório, comparativo, de corte. Amostra não probabilística, por conveniência, constituída por 192 enfermeiros a exercerem funções com idosos em contexto hospitalar e comunitário, na região norte de Portugal. Utilizado um questionário ad hoc de autopreenchimento, contemplando variáveis: características sociodemográficas, atividades/práticas desenvolvidas pelos enfermeiros na assistência aos idosos e a escala de interdependência de tarefas.
Resultados: Amostra composta por 85,9% enfermeiros e 14,1% enfermeiros especialistas; 76,0% exerce funções em saúde comunitária e 24,0% em hospitais. Existem diferenças entre as informações partilhadas em equipa, valorizando os enfermeiros de reabilitação o pedido de colaboração para continuidade assistencial, as condições sociais e a medicação, enquanto os demais, a alteração da situação de doença. São unânimes as opiniões sobre o contacto direto como estratégia preferencial para a partilha de informações em equipa. Sobre a interdependência de tarefas, a diferença é que os enfermeiros de reabilitação dependem de ajuda e suporte dos colegas, para concretizarem a sua prática profissional.
Conclusão: Há especificidades na ação dos enfermeiros de reabilitação, no cuidado a idosos, sugerindo que sejam líderes no seio das equipas. As lacunas identificadas no trabalho de equipa exigem (re)pensar as práticas.
