Authors: A. K. Olatubosun , G. A. Samuel , O. S. Silas , H. I. Salamatu
Published: June 2024

Globally, at least 1600 women die from the complications of pregnancy and childbirth daily giving an annual figure of 585.000 women (with Nigeria alone contributing up to 10% of figure), and over 50 million more women suffer from acute complications and long term morbidities. The indices for maternal and child mortality are relatively high in most developing countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. This study aims to look at clients satisfaction of maternity care and The determinants for antenatal booking among pregnant women attending clinic in ECWA Hospital Egbe, Kogi State. A non-experimental descriptive mixed method was used with the combination of quantitative and qualitative method. A total of two hundred and forty-four (244) women attending maternal health services at ECWA hospital Egbe were selected by cluster sampling technique. Data was collected using pretested structured client questionnaires, and focus group discussion guide. About 64(74.6%) of the clients had 2-4 babies and 198(90,0%) had their previous delivery in the hospital. Majority 178(80.9%) book their antenatal in ECWA hospital and 17(7.7%) booked in PHC centres. Only 4 (1.8%) of the participants booked for antenatal service in other facilities. This implies that women are beginning to be aware of the benefits of booking and antenatal care, hence the higher rate of booking although only few return to deliver their babies after booking. Majority 204(92.7%) received enough help from staff with the baby care and 215(97.7%) said they will advice friends to use this facility, hence, the likelihood to return for child birth but they go to another clinic for other services such as child immunisation. Majority of the women were satisfied with the maternity care services received at the hospital. Therefore, the following recommendations were made; the management should employ more competent health professionals especially nurses in their various field of specialties and regular in service training to meet with improving world standard.

Published: June 2024

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of 3D scoliosis exercise training delivered via telerehabilitation on pain, function, and disability in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Method: This study was conducted between April 2020 and October 2020 during the pandemic period. The effects of face-to-face exercises before the pandemic and continued exercises via telerehabilitation during the pandemic on overall health, mental well-being, pain, and physical condition were evaluated. Forty-four participants with scoliosis (27 females, 17 males) participated in a 12-week 3D scoliosis exercise program led by an experienced physiotherapist. Assessments were conducted online using SRS-22, SF-36, and ODI scales before and after social isolation.
Results: The mean age of the sample was determined to be 14.77±2.38 years. The mean SRS-22 Pain scores before and after the lockdown were 22.11±2.45 and 22.18±2.54, respectively. However, no significant differences were found between the two assessments in terms of SRS-22, SF-36, and ODI scores.
Conclusion: Telerehabilitation-based 3D scoliosis exercises may help maintain pain, function, and disability levels in adolescents with scoliosis during lockdowns. Regular home exercise programs are recommended when face-to-face therapy is unavailable. Future research should explore simulation-based training to enhance effectiveness.

Published: June 2024

本研究採用系統識別的方法，針對輪椅使用者在地震力作用下於建築物內之翻覆風險，進行振動台實驗與分析。初步發現於300gal的正弦波作用下，在激振頻率為0.9~1.1Hz，最易發生劇烈搖擺（Rocking）及翻覆（Overturning）；在0.8~2.3Hz，可能產生一定程度之搖擺。換言之，在總樓高為4至13層的建物中，概括所有輪椅在建築物設計加速度下均有翻覆之風險，其中9至11層的建物中輪椅翻覆的風險最高。本文亦提供關於臨震之安全建議，主要發現改變輪椅的邊界條件，可有效降低輪椅加速度，進而降低可能翻覆之風險，因此照護者於後側蹲馬步協助抵抗地震力，或使用者自己雙手緊握環境中之固定物，抑或是將雙腳放置地面，都會是可有效減緩輪椅傾覆地震反應之作法。This research studies factors that may mitigate or exacerbate the overturning risk of a wheelchair during an earthquake, depending on their response behavior or environmental conditions. Preliminary findings include the high risk of wheel-chair overturning in buildings whose height range from 4 to 13-storeys, and the highest risk of wheel-chair overturning in buildings whose height is 9 to11-storeys. This article also studied safety postures to wheelchair users in earthquakes. It is found that increasing external support conditions of the wheelchair can effectively reduce the acceleration of the wheelchair, thereby reducing the risk of possible overturning. Therefore, the caregiver holding on the back side chair arm helps would resist the earthquake force, or the user grasps fixed objects nearby with own hands, or place feet on the ground, these postures can effectively reduce the earthquake overturning risk.

Published: June 2024

Background - Previous studies analyzed the characteristics and prevalence of sleep problems in Italian children. However, less attention is shed on the factors involved in sleep disturbances in the first two years of life. Aims - To provide a developmental trajectory of Italian infants’ sleep patterns during the first two years of life and to analyze what factors affect it most over time. Materials and Methods - Data for this study were collected within the NASCITA cohort. During the well-child visits conducted at 6, 12, and 24 months, paediatricians asked parents to report if their children had any sleep disturbances, particularly frequent night awakenings. Univariate and multivariable analyses were performed to test the association between child and family variables and the likelihood of frequent awakenings. Results - 2,973 toddlers were included in this study; 875 (29.4%) toddlers presented frequent awakenings in at least one visit (peak of prevalence of 19.8% at 12 months). Bed-sharing (adjusted OR 2.53; 95% CI: 2.05-3.12) and living in the North of Italy (aOR 2.25; 95% CI:1.80-2.81) were the variables more strongly associated with an increased likelihood of frequent awakenings in the binomial logistic regression, while sleeping alone was associated with a decreased chance (aOR 0.62; 95% CI 0.45-0.89). Conclusion - The current study identifies some early predictors of frequent awakenings during the first two years of life. Since optimal sleep practices in children are essential for their development, paediatric care practices must define and integrate early effective interventions.
Violence and Voice: Hearing Poe’s Sociopaths
Authors: Rachman Stephen
Published: June 2024

This article discusses Edgar Allan Poe’s “voice” in his sociopathic tales by comparing contemporary assessments of it to the recognition that the Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky made in the 1860s. The article uses this comparison to explore how the voices of Poe’s sociopaths have been heard through these two distinct cultural contexts and the representative interpretations that these hearings have generated over time.
In Her Tomb by the Sounding Sea: A Radical Reconsideration of the Manuscripts of “Annabel Lee”
Authors: Savoye Jeffrey
Published: June 2024

“Annabel Lee” is Poe’s final poem, and although it was intended for publication, it appeared in print only after his death. It was, however, distributed during his lifetime in the form of five manuscripts, all of which survive to this day as cherished relics of the author. The speculative date assigned to each of these manuscripts, and consequently the sequence of revisions, has traditionally been based on when Poe gave them away over the course of the last five or six months of his life. This approach has historically granted the Thompson copy, which Poe had with him in Richmond, the high status of the final and thus the definitive authorized version. Two minor verbal changes have generally been accepted as of little consequence, but many commentators have lamented that the final line of the Thompson version changes “In her tomb by the sounding sea” to “In her tomb by the side of the sea.” Looking carefully at the circumstances surrounding the creation and distribution of these manuscripts, as well as the texts themselves, suggests a radically different opinion of the sequence of revisions and a reconsideration of some importance in the matter of textual criticism of these texts for one of Poe’s most studied and popular poems.
WSU’s Palmer C. Holt Poe Source Collection: Findings and Research Potential
Authors: Hammond Alexander
Published: June 2024

This article was first delivered as a paper at the PSA’s Fifth International Edgar Allan Poe Conference in April 2022 in Boston. It recognizes the work of Palmer C. Holt, a little-known independent scholar who devoted over forty years to studying Poe’s career-long displays of erudition and learning. Holt’s research papers and the core of his collection of Poe sources, an archive preserved at Washington State University, constitute a largely untapped resource for tracing Poe’s practice of lifting content from secondary sources as if he were quoting original texts. As have later scholars, Holt argued that Poe was seeking to create the persona of a deeply learned, classically educated gentleman. The article concludes with Holt’s views on whether the author’s borrowing practices constitute plagiarism; on how the always-impoverished Poe managed access to the literary works, ancient to contemporary in multiple languages, woven into his writing; and on why he pretended to possess a deep knowledge of Greek and Roman literature.
Literary Interpretation and Divination: Visual Adaptation in the Edgar Allan Poe Tarot
Authors: Burger Alissa
Published: June 2024

Rose Wright and Eugene Smith’s Edgar Allan Poe Tarot follows the basic structure of the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) tarot system. Each of the cards features an illustration by Smith that draws inspiration from and visually adapts an element of Poe’s work, depicting imagery, characters, and narrative moments. This tarot deck synthesizes these two distinct and interconnected types of “reading,” with the accompanying guide providing both an interpretation of the card’s significance drawing on the larger RWS system and critical literary analysis that connects Poe’s work to the specific card and its interpretation. The active engagement of reader response presents a wide range of interpretive possibilities and ways of connecting with and responding to Poe’s work through visual adaptation and the self-reflection central to the tarot tradition.

Published: June 2024

Despite the limitations of current technology, facial recognition from still or moving sources is developing into a useful tool for law enforcement, security, and counterterrorism applications. Currently, facial recognition shows promise and has been used in a small number of applications, The effectiveness of a facial recognition algorithm is examined in this assessment, specifically with regards to factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, facial characteristics, and lighting levels. Face recognition is being used more frequently as a non-intrusive identity verification technique. In this paper, we propose for the first time a strongly privacy-enhanced face recognition system that effectively uses secure multiparty computation techniques to conceal both the biometrics and the result from the server performing the matching operation. These issues can be easily solved by Explainable AI (XAI), and the solutions are clear to the end users. The proposed system is entirely implemented on a Raspberry Pi, enabling a full embedded application. With the aid of open-source libraries for training, defining, and running machine learning models like Tensorflow.js, Keras, and OpenCV, the application was created using Python and HTML on PyCharm/Visual Studio Code. An entire application can be run on a microcontroller, like the Raspberry Pi, which enables plug-and-play operation of the system at any time. The face detection subsystem, which is based on an improved PCA algorithm, can identify faces in moving vehicles and communicate with the vehicle's owner via GSM. The car's location is sent via GPS. This is the most reliable car security system because we can still locate the car even when it is lost and we can see the thief's face. The owner of the car is free to give the password to new drivers as well. This makes the car security system safer and more comfortable.

Published: June 2024

This action is a stand-in for the growing use of non-sustainable energy sources, which is leading to a variety of issues such as peak-hour traffic congestion, parking lot issues, gas leaks from fuel theft, and noise pollution in cities. Even the shortest trips—two to three kilometers—around cities are usually taken by private vehicles, which worsens traffic congestion. We are therefore providing the E-SKATE board as a fallback option to address these issues. By introducing the e-skate board as a substitute mode of transportation for electric cars over shorter distances, this study seeks to lessen the present traffic issues.

Authors: S K Sri Ram , P Kavin , S Sam Santhosh Kumar , Kumar Amit
Published: June 2024

The paper objective is to outline our effort to decrease violations and increase driver safety. Alcohol sensor and an Arduino board were combined to create this project. The Arduino ATmega328 processor is capable of carrying out more operations than conventional microcontrollers. Using a sensor for alcohol Identification of the presence of alcohol in human breath is the aim of this study, MQ3. The sensor may be used with any vehicle and is easy to hide from suspects because its precise sensitivity range is only a few metres. This project is installed anywhere. The project is designed to ensure human security. When some people's drinking becomes excessive, it can have a negative impact on their interactions with others. Some people grow drunk and potentially loud and boisterous as they drink more. And because they are less inhibited, they may disregard boundaries, making people around them uncomfortable or even dangerous. This project is basically used for avoid these problems in public places by IOT technology. In this process whenever a drunken person enters through the detector placed entrance it will indicates and such new sense caused by drunken people can be avoided in public places such as theatres, school, colleges and places where family spend time. Here we are using Arduino boards through which codes can be uploaded and we are using an MQ-3 alcohol sensor and a buzzer. The alcohol sensor will sense the consumption of alcohol by a person when he enters and indicates to the buzzer and the buzzer will blow.

Published: June 2024

In order to solve an issue that most stores have, this project will use a load cell to measure weight and communicate the weight input to a HX711 converter, which converts the signal to a digital number. The digital value is used to notify the consumer of the stock level. The owner of the shop will receive a notification on their cell phone every time the supply is low telling them to replenish. We have started using PIR sensors to utilize less electricity. Only motion causes a light bulb to turn on. We'll utilize a relay in this case, which uses energy from a power source to turn on or off switch connections. Retailers may employ smart shelves for a variety of purposes, including as better storage, better decision-making, informing the back-end system of the number of products already on the shelf, monitoring product levels, detecting theft, and finding missing items. If necessary, the network of shelves might communicate updated product inventories to shop owners, managers, employees, customers, warehouse personnel, or producers. As a result, there is no need to make an order or conduct a physical inventory count at the warehouse or storeroom.
A Gas Leakage Detector Using IoT
Authors: R Suresh Kumar , R Blesson Smith , A Hariharan , R Subash
Published: June 2024

Propane and butane are the two sources extensively in domestic and commercial purposes for various applications ranging from industrial sector to household usages. The usage of these sources mandatorily requires safety precautions to be followed to avoid any hazardous impact. This is due to the gas's volatility and the potential for leakage, which increases the risk of a detonation or fire. This could be avoided or can be prevented by means of early detection that could sense the leakage of gas in a very simplified version, easily identifiable by all age groups of peoples. This research focuses on a prototype system in the first phase that simulates a gas leak in a confined space. The presence of leaked gas in the confined space is traced by the sensor (MQ 6) which in turn sends the traced signal to Arduino micro controller. The test results show successful detection of gas leakage followed by activation of warning message to the designated number. However, based on performance it is found that the system works efficiently in closed space when compared to open space. In open space due to dilution of gas, the detection of content is slower thereby resulting in time delay. In the second phase, the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) is implemented in this system using various devices that are networked together. The use of internet access allows the sensors to exchange data with one another. This paper concentrates on secure kitchens in IoT-enabled smart homes. A regulator and LPG cooker with knobs that regulate the flow are provided for safety in the home gas connections. Gas leaks can be dangerous, particularly in enclosed spaces. A safety system with a strong ability to identify leaks is necessary in these circumstances.

Character Education and Responsible Behavior in Waste Management
Authors: A Shinta
Published: June 2024

The aim of this essay is to explain the difficulties of teaching character education, especially responsible behavior. This happens because parents, teachers and other adults find it difficult to provide role models for responsible behavior. Apart from that, the teaching method is not immediately applicable. The strategy proposed in this article is for children and adults to learn responsibility at the same time through waste management. This is because everyone produces waste, and therefore everyone should also be responsible for their waste. In fact, in general, people are reluctant to take responsibility for their own waste. To foster responsible behavior towards waste, there are two proposed suggestions. First, the individual should interact socially with the waste care community. Second, make waste processing activities as a project, not just a mere responsible behavior forming. This second suggestion actually is a unique strategy to change cognition to lighten the burden of responsible behavior which is always perceived as burdensome.
Infected Pubic Symphysitis After Periurethral Injection with a Bulking Agent
Authors: Juhl Caroline Sollberger
Published: June 2024

Background: Urinary incontinence affects about 45% of all women, and stress urinary incontinence accounts for about 40%. Many women opt for surgical treatment when conservative management fails. One of the surgical treatments is bulking, that refers to a minor transurethral procedure where a bulking agent is injected into the submucosa of the urethra. Infected pubic symphysitis is an infection of the pubic symphysis that causes subpubic pain, disability and ultimately immobility. It is known to be a rare complication to urogenital procedures but has never been described after a bulking injection. Case Report: We present three women with a story of infected pubic symphysitis after bulking injections. They all experienced pain within the first week after the injections. They all had pubic bone or groin pain and were not able to support properly on both legs due to pain. White blood cell counts and C-reactive protein were elevated, and Magnetic resonance imaging or computerized tomography scan showed signs of symphysitis. All women were treated with long term antibiotics and seen by or discussed with the orthopedic surgeons. Conclusion: This review reports on a serious outcome, symphysitis, even after a minor surgical treatment. In our cases no fatality was observed, but two of the women still have chronic pain more than one year after the bulking injections. Due to these three cases, the standard procedure has now changed, and a pre-treatment of antibiotics is given to all women undergoing the bulking procedure.
Key Techniques for Fine Three-Dimensional Geological Modeling of Coalbed Methane
Authors: Wang Bo
Published: June 2024

China's proven coalbed methane reserves exceeding 30 trillion cubic meters, and two major coalbed methane industrial bases have been established in the Qinshui and Ordos Basin. Among them, the eastern margin of the Ordos Basin is one of the main blocks for shallow coalbed methane development, holding immense exploration and development potential. Nowadays, the reservoir characteristics of the eastern margin of the Ordos Basin remain unclear, necessitating further research to study reservoir features through fine reservoir description studies. Threedimensional geological modeling can effectively characterize reservoir heterogeneity, especially for predicting geological features between wells and in undrilled gas reservoirs. This study primarily focuses on conducting fine characterization of gas reservoirs and establishing a fine threedimensional geological model through techniques such as multi-attribute fusion in the eastern margin of the Ordos Basin, providing guidance for making and adjustment of development schemes.
Nem cedo, nem tarde demais: abordagem em cuidados paliativos
Authors: Tonial Ana Paula Nicolodi , Piva Maristela
Published: June 2024

A abordagem em cuidados paliativos tem como princípio considerar a morte como um processo natural, sem antecipá-la, nem a adiar a qualquer custo. Compreende o ser humano como um ser biopsicossocial e espiritual, dotado de autonomia, valores e subjetividades que atravessam o modo como cada um enfrenta a condição de adoecimento grave e terminalidade. O presente artigo tem como objetivo trazer para reflexão a temática dos Cuidados Paliativos, em especial, trazer luz ao “timing” perfeito para o início da abordagem e dos cuidados, com base nos estudos levantados e avaliados. Pensar em estudar sobre cuidados paliativos implica em desvendar e aprofundar cuidados em saúde a população em geral. O Psicólogo, enquanto integrante da equipe multidisciplinar dentro de um serviço hospitalar, muitas vezes será o profissional responsável por realizar essa abordagem junto aos pacientes, aos familiares deste, e quem sabe até, ao restante da equipe multidisciplinar. Na pesquisa realizada para desenvolver o artigo, o viés mais robusto de estudos dentro da temática foi referente ao início dos cuidados paliativos quando o paciente já estava dentro da Unidade de Terapia Intensiva, o que vem em contramão do que preconiza a OMS e todos os entendimentos acerca do tema, o que sinaliza que estão ocorrendo falhas e desencontros entre a teoria e prática clínica. Trabalhar com pessoas em fim da vida é pensar nas infinitas possibilidades do humano, que, ainda em condições de extrema fragilidade, possa ser visto como um ser de vontade, de desejo, e de direitos, amparado pelos princípios da bioética.

Published: June 2024

Microbial formulations are routinely produced in several rural areas in Brazil. Its production is made using agricultural remnants, easily accessible products and soil microorganisms captured using cooked rice. However, studies on the microbial population and its functions in these products are still very scarce. The aim of this work was to evaluate the microbial diversity and dynamics, its functions and capacity to produce auxins (IAA). Microorganisms were isolated of the formulation with different times of production, quantified by serial dilution and then identified by DNA sequencing. The IAA production was evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography. The results showed a high variability of microorganisms and was extremely variable over production time. The formulation with 10 days of production showed the highest density of microorganisms and IAA concentration. There was no presence of Salmonella spp. and the mean number of thermotolerant coliforms is within sanitary limits. In conclusion, the formulation with 10 days of production is the most suitable for use.

Prediction of Closing Prices for NASDAQ Listed Stocks: A Comparative Study Based on Gradient Boosting Models
Authors: Huang Jingxuan
Published: June 2024

The forecasting of trends in U.S. stocks remains a focal point in the financial domain. Within the realm of fine-grained forecasting tasks, predicting price trends with pronounced volatility in the last ten minutes of the closing cross-auction presents a distinctive challenge. This study develops four forecasting models—LightGBM (LGB), XGBoost (XGB), CatBoost (CBT), and a weighted fusion model—utilizing data from the final-market order book and closing auction of 200 NASDAQ stocks. The research aims to conduct a comprehensive comparison of the performance of these four models on the same prediction task. The study results reveal Mean Absolute Error (MAE) values of 5.195, 5.197, 5.200, and 5.202 for the respective models, signifying the integrated model as the most precise predictor. This comparative analysis facilitates a nuanced understanding within the research community regarding the performance of each model, offering a valuable reference for future investigations. Simultaneously, it underscores the inherent value of machine learning in financial forecasting, aiding investors in enhancing decision-making efficiency during critical moments on trading days.

Authors: Zhou Kai , Li Zihao , Liu Zhaofeng
Published: June 2024

Amidst a global shift towards sustainable transportation, this study conducts an in-depth analysis of data about China's new energy vehicle (NEV) sector from 2013 to 2022. This research primarily evaluates the standards and key factors influencing the NEV industry's evolution. Spearman correlation and decision tree models indicate that the average price of new energy vehicles and the government subsidies for them have the most significant impact on the development of the new energy industry in China. Expanding on these insights, a robust LASSO linear regression model was developed to further explore these dynamics. Additionally, an ARIMA time series model was employed, leveraging historical data to forecast the factors likely to influence the NEV industry in the coming decade. Integrating these forecasts into the initial evaluation model, the study anticipates a positive growth trajectory for China's NEV development, especially between 2023 and 2025. This research not only sheds light on the current state of the NEV industry in China but also provides valuable predictions for its future direction, contributing to the broader understanding of sustainable vehicle evolution in the global context.

Authors: Song Ziyue , Yang Tingyu , Li Siqi
Published: June 2024

The tower photovoltaic power plant particularly depends on the proper arrangement of the heliostat field, which is a crucial component of the tower solar power system and costs between 40% and 50% of the tower solar power plant's overall investment expenses. In this study, an optimization model is established under the restrictions of the heliostat mirror's size and placement parameters. Then, using numerical optimisation tools such as the simulated annealing algorithm and genetic algorithm, the layout of the heliostat field is repeatedly calculated in order to determine the ideal configuration for the heliostat field, which will maximize its yearly thermal power output. This paper has some significance in optimizing the layout of the heliostatic field.
