A Novel Approach to Assess Weekly Self-efficacy for Meeting Personalized Physical Activity Goals Via a Cellphone: 12-Week Longitudinal Study
Authors: Oh Yoo Jung , Hoffmann Thomas J , Fukuoka Yoshimi
Published: January 2023

Background

Despite the health benefits of engaging in regular physical activity (PA), the majority of American adults do not meet the PA guidelines for aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities. Self-efficacy, the belief that one can execute specific actions, has been suggested to be a strong determinant of PA behaviors. With the increasing availability of digital technologies, collecting longitudinal real-time self-efficacy and PA data has become feasible. However, evidence in longitudinal real-time assessment of self-efficacy in relation to objectively measured PA is scarce.

Objective

This study aimed to examine a novel approach to measure individuals' real-time weekly self-efficacy in response to their personalized PA goals and performance over the 12-week intervention period in community-dwelling women who were not meeting PA guidelines.

Methods

In this secondary data analysis, 140 women who received a 12-week PA intervention were asked to report their real-time weekly self-efficacy via a study mobile app. PA (daily step counts) was measured by an accelerometer every day for 12 weeks. Participants rated their self-efficacy on meeting PA goals (ranging from “not confident” to “very confident”) at the end of each week via a mobile app. We used a logistic mixed model to examine the association between weekly self-efficacy and weekly step goal success, controlling for age, BMI, self-reported White race, having a college education or higher, being married, and being employed.

Results

The mean age was 52.7 (SD 11.5, range 25-68) years. Descriptive analyses showed the dynamics of real-time weekly self-efficacy on meeting PA goals and weekly step goal success. The majority (74.4%) of participants reported being confident in the first week, whereas less than half of them (46.4%) reported confidence in the final week of the intervention. Participants who met weekly step goals were 4.41 times more likely to be confident about achieving the following week's step goals than those who did not meet weekly step goals (adjusted odds ratio 4.41; 95% CI 2.59-7.50; P<.001). Additional analysis revealed that participants who were confident about meeting the following week’s step goals were 2.07 times more likely to meet their weekly step goals in the following week (adjusted odds ratio 2.07; 95% CI 1.16-3.70; P=.01). The significant bidirectional association between real-time self-efficacy and weekly step goal success was confirmed in a series of sensitivity analyses.

Conclusions

This study demonstrates the potential utility of a novel approach to examine self-efficacy in real time for analysis of self-efficacy in conjunction with objectively measured PA. Discovering the dynamic patterns and changes in weekly self-efficacy on meeting PA goals may aid in designing a personalized PA intervention. Evaluation of this novel approach in an RCT is warranted.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Health, Well-being, and Quality of Work-Life Outcomes Among Direct Care Nursing Staff Working in Nursing Home Settings: Protocol for a Systematic Review
Authors: Thorne Trina , Duan Yinfei , Slubik Sydney , Estabrooks Carole A
Published: January 2023

Background

Increased workload, lack of resources, fear of infection, and the suffering and loss of residents have placed a significant emotional burden on regulated and unregulated direct care nursing staff (eg, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and care aides) in nursing homes (residential long-term care homes). Psychological distress and burnout related to COVID-19 have been cited among direct care staff within nursing homes. Studies have also emphasized the resilience of direct care staff, who, despite the significant challenges created by the pandemic, remained committed to providing quality care. To date, only one nursing home–specific review has synthesized evidence from 15 studies conducted early in the pandemic, which reported anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, and depression among direct care staff.

Objective

The objectives of this systematic review are to (1) synthesize all empirical evidence on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on direct care staffs’ mental health, physical health, and work-life outcomes; (2) identify specific risks and protective factors; and (3) examine the effect of strategies or interventions that have been developed to improve these outcomes.

Methods

We will include all study designs reporting objective or subjective measurements of direct care staffs’ mental health, physical health, and quality of work-life in nursing home settings during the COVID-19 pandemic (January 2020 onward). We will search multiple databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, and PsycINFO) and gray literature sources with no language restrictions. Two authors will independently screen, assess data quality, and extract data for synthesis. Given the heterogeneity in research designs, we will use multiple data synthesis methods that are suitable for quantitative and qualitative studies.

Results

As of December 2022, full text screening has been completed and data extraction is underway. The expected completion date is June 30, 2023.

Conclusions

This systematic review will uncover gaps in current knowledge, increase our understanding of the disparate findings to date, identify risks and factors that protect against the sustained effects of the pandemic, and elucidate the feasibility and effects of interventions to support the mental health, physical health, and quality of work-life of frontline nursing staff. This study will inform future research exploring how the health care system can be more proactive in improving quality of work-life and supporting the health and psychological needs of frontline staff amid extreme stressors such as the pandemic and within the wider context of prepandemic conditions.

Development and Validation of Multivariable Prediction Algorithms to Estimate Future Walking Behavior in Adults: Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Park Junghwan , Norman Gregory J , Klasnja Predrag , Rivera Daniel E , Hekler Eric
Published: January 2023

Background

Physical inactivity is associated with numerous health risks, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, increased health care expenditure, and preventable, premature deaths. The majority of Americans fall short of clinical guideline goals (ie, 8000-10,000 steps per day). Behavior prediction algorithms could enable efficacious interventions to promote physical activity by facilitating delivery of nudges at appropriate times.

Objective

The aim of this paper is to develop and validate algorithms that predict walking (ie, >5 min) within the next 3 hours, predicted from the participants’ previous 5 weeks’ steps-per-minute data.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective, closed cohort, secondary analysis of a 6-week microrandomized trial of the HeartSteps mobile health physical-activity intervention conducted in 2015. The prediction performance of 6 algorithms was evaluated, as follows: logistic regression, radial-basis function support vector machine, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), multilayered perceptron (MLP), decision tree, and random forest. For the MLP, 90 random layer architectures were tested for optimization. Prior 5-week hourly walking data, including missingness, were used for predictors. Whether the participant walked during the next 3 hours was used as the outcome. K-fold cross-validation (K=10) was used for the internal validation. The primary outcome measures are classification accuracy, the Mathew correlation coefficient, sensitivity, and specificity.

Results

The total sample size included 6 weeks of data among 44 participants. Of the 44 participants, 31 (71%) were female, 26 (59%) were White, 36 (82%) had a college degree or more, and 15 (34%) were married. The mean age was 35.9 (SD 14.7) years. Participants (n=3, 7%) who did not have enough data (number of days <10) were excluded, resulting in 41 (93%) participants. MLP with optimized layer architecture showed the best performance in accuracy (82.0%, SD 1.1), whereas XGBoost (76.3%, SD 1.5), random forest (69.5%, SD 1.0), support vector machine (69.3%, SD 1.0), and decision tree (63.6%, SD 1.5) algorithms showed lower performance than logistic regression (77.2%, SD 1.2). MLP also showed superior overall performance to all other tried algorithms in Mathew correlation coefficient (0.643, SD 0.021), sensitivity (86.1%, SD 3.0), and specificity (77.8%, SD 3.3).

Conclusions

Walking behavior prediction models were developed and validated. MLP showed the highest overall performance of all attempted algorithms. A random search for optimal layer structure is a promising approach for prediction engine development. Future studies can test the real-world application of this algorithm in a “smart” intervention for promoting physical activity.

The biochemical properties due to which cerium oxide nanoparticles are able to perform the functions of certain enzymes — oxidoreductases, phosphatases, etc., are actively being investigated. The low toxicity of cerium dioxide nanoparticles ensures the comparative safety of its use for medical purposes, which makes it possible to consider this material as a potential drug for the treatment of a number of diseases, primarily associated with oxidative stress. The number of experimental papers published annually on the study of cerium dioxide nanoparticles has increased more than 100 times over the past 20 years, which indicates an increasing interest in this issue. However, many properties inherent in cerium dioxide nanoparticles still remain insufficiently investigated. The aim of the study was to generalize and analyze the data presented in the PubMed, E-Library, Google Scholar databases on cerium oxide nanoparticles as scavengers of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and active nitrogen forms with multi-enzyme mimetic activity, including catalase (Cat), superoxide dismutase (MnSOD₂) and peroxidase activity. These effects of cerium oxide nanoparticles are primarily aimed at modifying oxidative stress, which can significantly improve the treatment of many diseases in the development of which oxidative stress occurs. Taking into account the global burden of liver diseases, this review analyzes experimental studies on the therapeutic effect of cerium oxide nanoparticles on acute and chronic liver diseases.

Injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system are the leading factor in disability worldwide and occupy an important place in medicine. Among bone injuries, pathologies of the spinal column take the second place. Often, fractures of the spinal column are accompanied by the destruction of the vertebral bodies. In such cases, the question of the selection of material to replace the bone defect is acute. It is known that immune cells influence the healing of tissues of the musculoskeletal system. Mast cells occupy a special place among immune cells. research is the study of the morphological and functional state of mast cells in the regeneration of the bone tissue of the tail vertebra of rats using a transplant based on agarose. The experiment involved 20 Wistar rats. Rats underwent surgery to remove the third tail vertebra, which in the experimental groups was replaced by an agarose implant. The experiment lasted 3 and 6 months, respectively, for different groups. At the end of the experiment, a histological assessment of the regeneration zone was carried out. Differences were found in the process of reparation. 3 and 6 months after the operation to remove the tail vertebra, the defect zone is partially replaced by bone tissue, the central zone of the regenerate is represented by fibromuscular fusion. The use of an agarose graft promotes the formation of bone tissue in comparison with the control at late stages of regeneration. The number of vessels initially increases, then, along with an increase in their cross-sectional area, their number decreases. Mast cells of the regeneration zone in the experimental groups are maximal at the beginning of the regenerative process, and then it decreases, which probably indicates a decrease in their regulatory contribution. The agarose graft causes an increase in the migration of mast cells to the regeneration zone, which in turn affects the permeability of blood vessels and the activation of microcirculation in general in the recovery zone, which is a favorable factor for the process of osteogenesis.

The aim of the study was to investigate the mechanisms of action of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs) in a model of tetrachloromethane-induced liver fibrosis in mice. The experiments were performed on 50 mice. MSCs isolated from mouse placenta choriona were used in the study. MSCs were transplanted at a dose of 1 million cells into the tail vein. α-SMA, MMP-9, MMP 13, and TIMP-1 positive regions were analyzed by immunohistochemical method to evaluate the mechanisms of MMSCs action. Sirius red dye was used for connective tissue staining. HGF and TGF-β were determined by immunoassay in liver homogenate. We obtained that transplantation of MMSCs leads to a decrease in the area of α-SMA, TIMP-1 positive regions, an increase in the number of cells expressing MMP-9 and MMP 13. An increase in the level of hepatocyte growth factor and a decrease in transforming growth factor beta in liver homogenate after hMSCs transplantation in liver fibrosis was found. The results of the study demonstrated the efficacy of placental MMSCs in liver fibrosis. The antifibrotic mechanisms of action of hMSCs can include the ability to increase the expression of HGF, decrease the level of TGF-β, increase the production of matrix metalloproteinases-9 and -13, as well as the ability to inhibit the expression of tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases type 1.

Published: January 2023

The aim of the work — study the effect of clopidogrel on platelets under conditions of mandibular bone injury. Materials and methods of research. The experiment was carried out on 40 white nonlinear rats, which were divided into two groups. The animals in the experimental group were injected with the anticoagulant clopidogrel intraperitoneally daily for 7 days prior to operation and until the moment of withdrawal from the experiment (1, 3 and 7 days after injury). Operations in control group animals were conducted without clopidogrel injection. Platelet parameters such as absolute platelet count, mean platelet volume, large platelet ratio and thrombocrit were determined and platelet aggregation activity was analysed. The results of the study. Intraperitoneal administration of clopidogrel with and without bone injury changes both the functional properties of platelets and platelet parameters of the general blood test, consumption of different platelets occurs. Conclusions. The following conclusions were made based on the results of the work: intraperitoneal administration of clopidogrel leads to complete blocking of platelet aggregation function; Surgery performed on the background of such therapy is accompanied by a more intensive consumption of platelets than without an antiplatelet agent; against the background of the use of clopidogrel, there is a uniform consumption of platelets of different volumes, while during surgical intervention in the absence of an antiplatelet agent, smaller and more mature platelets are predominantly recruited; bone tissue trauma stimulates aggregation activity during the early postoperative period even with complete preoperative blocking of platelets with clopidogrel.

The purpose of the study. The paper analyzes the metabolism of surfactant lipids and phagocytic activity of alveolar macrophages with an imbalance of the neurotransmitter systems of the dorsal hippocampus. Materials and methods. Male rats were microinjected with L-glutamate and GABA into the dorsal hippocampus bilaterally by stereotactic coordinates. Studies included determination of surfactant lipid fractions (thin-layer chromatography method), total phospholipids and their surface-active properties (Wilhelmi method), phospholipase activity, evaluation of endopulmonary cytogram, phagocytic index, and phagocytic number. Results. It was found that the introduction of L-glutamate was accompanied by an increase in phospholipids in the surfactant due to «inert» fractions of phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, and a low-active fraction of phosphatidylethanolamine against the background of a decrease in the intensity of phospholipase hydrolysis and the ability of macrophages to phagocytosis. The introduction of GABA led to redistribution of phospholipid fractions toward a decrease in phosphatidylcholine surfactant and an increase in the proportion of lysophosphatidylcholine under conditions of phospholipase activation and macrophage phagocytic activity. Conclusions The imbalance of the glutamate and GABAergic systems of the hippocampus has a multidirectional effect on the composition of surfactant lipids, the ability of alveolar macrophages to phagocytosis, and is characterized by the deterioration of the surface-active properties of the lungs.

The Semama Island Wildlife Sanctuary (SIWS) was part of the Derawan National Tourism Strategic Areas (NTSA) with great potential. As a conservation area, tourism should consider the carrying capacity at SIWS for its optimal development. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the carrying capacity of the SIWS area using the Physical Carrying Capacity approach. Literature studies, field observations, and interviews were conducted in October 2021 to collect data. The results showed that the pyhsical carrying capacity of the SIWS was 506 people per day, consisting of 45 mangrove tours, 401 snorkeling, and 60 birdwatching activities, indicating the maximum number of visitors the SIWS could accommodate. This information is essential as a consideration for future tourism development.
Motherhood dalam Novel Chanson Douce Karya Leila Slimani: Analisis Dekonstruksi Derrida
Authors: Anjani Albertine Darasita , Udasmoro Wening , Firmonasari Aprillia
Published: January 2023

Motherhood ideology is commonly found in literary works, including narratives depicting the figure of a mother. In literature, especially in Europe, the figure of a mother is mystified and is often associated with the figure of the Virgin Mary. This is closely related to the oppression experienced by women due to the inequality of gender construction produced by society. The novel Chanson Douce by Leila Slimani narrates two mothers with different backgrounds. This study aims to carry out a deconstruction reading, especially on the discourse of motherhood. In interpreting something we are always dominated by dominant hierarchies and superior poles which are considered as "single truth". This single truth can lead to vulnerability to discrimination or service. The deconstruction method used in this study uses the concepts of trace and difference, in readings that lead to the meaning of texts that are "friendly" to the others. The results of this study lead us to new questions regarding the challenges of motherhood in this post-industrial era.
How to Deduce the Other 91 Valid Aristotelian Modal Syllogisms from the Syllogism IAI-3
Authors: Zhang Cheng
Published: January 2023

This paper firstly formalizes Aristotelian modal syllogisms by taking advantage of the trisection structure of (modal) categorical propositions. And then making full use of the truth value definition of (modal) categorical propositions, the transformable relations between an Aristotelian quantifier and its three negative quantifiers, the reasoning rules of classical propositional logic, and the symmetry of the two Aristotelian quantifiers (i.e. some and no), this paper shows that at least 91 valid Aristotelian modal syllogisms can be deduced from IAI-3 on the basis of possible world semantics and set theory. The reason why these valid Aristotelian modal syllogisms can be reduced is that any Aristotelian quantifier can be defined by the other three Aristotelian quantifiers, and the necessary modality ( ) and possible modality ( ) can also be defined mutually. This research method is universal. This innovative study not only provides a unified mathematical research paradigm for the study of generalized modal syllogistic and other kinds of syllogistic, but also makes contributions to knowledge representation and knowledge reasoning in computer science.

Published: January 2023

Human Rights” are those rights which belong to an individual as a consequence of being a human being. It is birth right inherent in all the individuals irrespective of their caste, creed, religion, sex and nationality. Human Rights, essential for all round development of the personality of the individual in society and therefore, ought to be protected and be made available to all individuals. Literature has substantially contributed to the protection of human rights. Literature can inspire us to change our world and give us the comfort, hope, passion and strength that we need in order to fight to create a better future for us. The literary creation such novels, short-stories etc. are the mirror of society. The novelists of Indian writing in English are keenly aware of the fundamental incongruities which life and world are confronting us in day to day life. The heroes of R.K. Narayan present the ironies of life and the heroines expose the deprivation of common housewives who are denied equal rights in their day to day life. Mulk Raj Anand is a great humanist and his prime concern is human predicament. Manohar Malgoankar presents the pathetic life of the labourers of tea-plantation of Assam. Kamla Markandeya highlights pitiable conditions of peasants of India. Anita Desai shows the denial of social justice to women. Khuswant Singh and Salman Rushdie draw attention towards sexual abuse of children. Thus, literature carries the human experience which reaches the heart of those who have been treated improperly by denial of basic human rights.
Contribution of Haryana in Non-Cooperation Movement

Published: January 2023

In the presented research paper, the participation of the people of Haryana in the non-cooperation movement has been highlighted. The year 1920 holds a very important place in Indian history. Because on this day the public was hoping that the First World War would end and the British Government will definitely do some good work for them but Raoult Act, Jallianwala Bagh. Reports like the massacre, and martial law in Punjab dashed all the hopes of the public. Gandhiji returned all his titles to the British, and he decided to launch a movement against the British. When the non-cooperation movement started in 1920, how could Haryana escape its influence? On the appeal of Gandhiji, many leaders returned the titles given by the government. Lawyers stopped going to government courts. Students from colleges and school boycotted the institutions. Holi of foreign goods burned by in various districts of Haryana State like Rohtak, Gurgaon, Ambala, Hisar. Shriram Sharma, Muralidhar, Lala Lajpat Rai etc. leaders strongly opposed the government. In this way, within no time, the movement spread throughout Haryana reached its zenith but at the same time when on 5 February 1922 a place called Chora-Chori , when the violence broke out, Gandhiji was deeply shocked and he suspended the movement . Thus on 5 February 1922 in India as well as in Haryana region Non-cooperation movement ended.

Introduction. The article examines the four volumes of The Memory. Sanl from a quantitative perspective. The edition publishes an annotated list of ca. 34,500 Red Army soldiers and officers largely conscripted in the Kalmyk ASSR — and subsequently classified as KIAs and MIAs between 1941 and 1945. Goals. The paper attempts a quantitative analysis of somewhat consolidated database compiled from Kalmykia’s natives conscripted into the Soviet military forces in 1941–1945 — and contained in the four volumes of The Memory. Sanl. Materials and methods. The wide range of research methods employed includes both general scientific (synthesis, comparison, analysis, etc.) and statistical ones. Results. The insights into the database show the edition comprises quite a number of repetitions, mistakes and inaccuracies — mainly in spellings of personal names — which has required that corresponding corrections and revisions be introduced. The volumes mention a total of 26,458 KIAs and MIAs conscripted in the Kalmyk ASSR, at least half of them having been natives of Kalmykia. Furthermore, the consolidated list includes natives of other regions, primarily the bordering ones — Rostov Oblast, Stalingrad Oblast, and Ordzhonikidze Krai. The analysis by age shows the bulk of KIAs and MIAs from Kalmykia had been born between 1910 and 1924, since the latter were conscripted either prior to the war or during the earliest period when the Red Army was experiencing the severest casualties.

Introduction. The article discusses wedding traditions of Western Mongolian Dorbets — and Kalmyk Dorbets of Russia. The point is that before the 17th century those had been constituting a single Oirat ethnic community further divided across differing states with differing ethnic environments and lifestyles. Materials and methods. The paper analyzes 1924–1925 field data of Ts.-D. Nominkhanov pertaining to wedding rituals of Mongolia’s Dorbets, these be compared to descriptions of traditional wedding rites observed among Dorbets of Bolshederbetovsky Ulus (Stavropol Governorate) by I. Bentkovsky in 1869, and of those practiced by Dorbets of Maloderbetovsky Ulus (Astrakhan Governorate) and published by I. Zhitetsky in 1893. Special attention is also paid to publications of researchers to have examined wedding rites of Western Mongolian Dorbets, such as Ts. Ayuush, Ts. Baasandorj, A. Ochir, K. Vyatkina, and V. Darbakova. The study employs the descriptive and comparative research methods. Results. The conducted analysis asserts a structural similarity of wedding rites practiced by Dorbets of Western Mongolia and Kalmyk Dorbets of Russia. Despite the centuries-long isolation from related Oirat communities, the Kalmyks had retained the original set of wedding rites to the 19th century. The absence of references or descriptions of any particular rite gives no ground to assert the latter never existed, since the sources of information about wedding rites of Kalmyk Dorbets are somewhat fragmentary and scattered. The analysis of Ts.-D. Nominkhanov’s materials suggests those deal with the most significant wedding rites and rituals. In general, the following similarities can be traced in wedding rites of the Dorbets: allegory expressed via symbolism of certain ritual actions, use of white kerchiefs and khatags to formalize the establishment of family relations, importance of dairy products and their derivatives as ones with sacred meanings, preservation of ancestor and fire cults, vestiges of matrilocality traced in rites of the groom’s inauguration.

Introduction The article examines oral narratives about construction endeavors across Elista in the 1950s and early 1960s. Goals. The work analyzes narratives of earliest builders as a source to highlight somewhat universal features inherent to accounts of everyday life, feelings and moods associated with the restoration of the city on a specific example of stories narrating about the construction of Elista. This makes it possible to highlight universal elements and emphasize specifics of construction-related oral narratives, such as atypical plots in stories of residential building, features of architecture as a cultural factor, efficiency of use of local construction materials, as well as plans of the Soviet government. For this purpose, microurbanism is used both as a method of the city’s reconstruction and a way of describing its language. Materials. The study investigates field data collected in 2021–2022 in Elista. Results. Insights into oral narratives yield an opportunity, on the one hand, to examine the way of life of earliest builders, their active consumption and (re)construction of urban space marked by certain construction nuances, urban features and local contexts, and, on the other hand, to show the development of oral narrative about the city’s expansion in the 1950s–1960s — its universal and unique properties for microurbanism, and how these specificities are manifested (in what plots and topics).

Introduction. The article deals with key lexical and morphological means of expressing the spatial concept of proximity in Mongolic languages. Such lexical means include adjectives, adverbs and verbs, while morphological ones are case forms and postpositions. Goals. The study aims to describe key linguistic means of expressing the concept of proximity in Mongolic languages. Materials. The work analyzes Mongolic dictionary entries and texts contained in national corpora of the examined languages. Results. The analysis shows there are multi-level linguistic means of expressing the concept ‘proximity’, all lexical and morphological tools being presented in static and dynamic locative situations. Adjectives in attributive constructs, spatial adverbs, verbs that initially comprise some spatial semantics are widely used to express the meaning of being, moving nearby, or approaching. For example, the meaning of staying near a certain object can be conveyed by static localization verbs, while the direction of movement towards the object, approaching a landmark can be conveyed by dynamic localization verbs. The grammatical expressive means traced are case forms and postpositions which are also used in various types of contexts (location, orientation towards a landmark, movement in a neutral direction). Semantics of postpositions, in contrast to case forms, is certain enough. Postpositions with the meaning ‘proximity’ cluster together to form the most numerous group in Mongolic languages. Conclusions. The conducted analysis attests to a variety of expressive means pertaining to the concept ‘proximity’ and reveals peculiarities of their use in related Mongolic languages. The examined language expressive means are of significant interest for semantic typology at large.

Abstract: Automatic recognition of key chest X-ray results to help radiologists with clinical workflow tasks like time-sensitive triage, pneumothorax (CXR) case screening and unanticipated discoveries. Deep learning models have become a promising prediction technique with near human accuracy, but usually suffer from a lack of explain ability. Medical professionals can treat and diagnose illnesses more precisely using automated picture segmentation and feature analysis. In this paper, we propose a model for automatic diagnosis of 14 different diseases based on chest radiographs using machine learning algorithms. Chest X-rays offer a non-invasive (perhaps bedside) method for tracking the course of illness. A severity score prediction model for COVID-19 pneumonia on chest radiography is presented in this study.
Effect of Stress Levels and Temperatures on Stress Recovery of Asphalt Binders

Abstract: HMA's rut resistance comes from the asphalt binder and aggregates. Rutting, which causes depressions in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements along wheel paths, is a common type of distress. Both the loading and recovery phases of asphalt pavement performance are significantly impacted by the asphalt binder. In contrast to the extensive study conducted during the loading phase, the recovery phase receives comparatively little attention. Percent recovery tests asphalt binder elastic behaviour and stress dependence. Asphalt binder can self-repair and improve over time. Using a dynamic shear rheometer's multiple stress creep recovery method, virgin and modified asphalt binder were compared. Different temperatures and stresses were applied to the asphalt binders, and their responses were analysed. The results of the tests showed that the retrieval proportion of asphalt binder could be significantly increased by using admixtures, nanostructured materials, and viscous fluids. This case study shows that unmodified binders do not exhibit significant sensitivity to stress or strain under reasonable stress or tension conditions, nor do they showed considerable restoration under creep conditions; as a result, MSCR testing is not required for testing unmodified binders. Because of its potential as a modified binder performance indicator, Super Pave binder specification includes it. Furthermore, the data presented above demonstrates that certain modified binders provide better percentage recovery than neat binders. The viscous fluids were the ones that performed the best out of all the samples that we examined, closely followed by the nanostructured materials and the virgin binders

Abstract: Each organization provides transportation vehicles and employs people to keep records of the entry and exit of those vehicles. The entry and exit times of vehicles are recorded using RFID. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a wireless technology system consisting of her two components of a tag and a system. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is also used for vehicle monitoring. How the use of electromagnetic or capacitive coupling in the high-frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum draws attention to objects, animals, or people. An RFID chip contains a radio transmitter that transmits a coded identification number when interrogated by a reader. Some of his RFID tags can be inspected from a few meters away, out of sight of the reader. Bulk reads allow near-parallel analysis of tags. This small type is incorporated into customer products for identification and even implanted in pets. RFID has many uses in our daily life. Tags can be attached to any object and used to track and manage inventory, people, and more. For example, it can be attached to vehicles, laptops, books, cell phones, etc., and the owner or student can use her Google spreadsheet to track the vehicle by location. User can scan her QR or access Google Sheets

Abstract: There are definite rules laid out by authorities about driving cars on roads. The most common rule in any country is speed limit in certain roads i.e. you will be in violation of the law if your car speed exceeds this limit.In order to detect the speed of a moving car, the patrolling officers usually depend on a handheld gun that works on Radar Technology or Lidar Technology. This is a tedious process as the officer has to manually check for over speeding for each vehicle. Vehicle Speed Detection or Vehicle Speed Measurement using IR Sensor and Arduino UNO In this tutorial, we will measure the speed of the vehicle using IR sensor, Arduino, and 16×2 LCD. In this project, we will use two IR sensors and place it at a certain distance. As we know that to measure the speed we need distance and time. In order to find time, we will use the logic that the first IR sensor will detect whether there is some vehicle present in front of the sensor or not. Then the timer will start and will measure the duration up to the second IR sensor. The time we will get will be in milliseconds, so, in order to convert milliseconds into seconds, we will divide it by 1000. In this project, we have placed the two IR sensors at a distance of 20 centimeters which is equal to 0.2 meters. Now, we want our measured speed to be displayed in the kilometers per hour. So, in order to get the values in the kilometer per hour, we will use the following equation.

Abstract: Driver fatigue and rash driving are the leading causes of road accidents, which result in the loss of valued life and decrease road traffic safety. Driver drowsiness solutions that are reliable and precise are essential to prevent accidents and increase road traffic safety. Various driver drowsiness detection systems have been developed using various technologies that are geared at the specific parameter of detecting the driver's tiredness. This research offers a unique multi-level distribution model for detecting driver drowsiness utilising Convolution Neural Networks (CNN) and. To detect the driver's behaviour and emotion, the driver's face pattern is handled with a 2D Convolution Neural Network (CNN). The suggested model is built with OpenCV, and the experimental findings show that it recognises the driver's emotion and tiredness more efficiently than existing technologies.

La Secretaría de Agricultura y Desarrollo Rural (SADER) da continuidad a la búsqueda del aumento de los rendimientos y la rentabilidad del maíz. Para lograrlo, entre otras acciones, apuesta a la adopción de maíz híbrido. El mercado de semilla se conforma de empresas trasnacionales, nacionales y grupos de productores. Las empresas transnacionales han llevado las suyas a diferentes estados. A Tlaxcala entre otros, en donde desde 1984 comercializaban semillas de estas empresas y otras obtenidas por Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Forestales Agrícolas y Pecuarias (INIFAP). En 2011 con el Programa MasAgro, se trabajó para obtener nuevas semillas en la entidad. No obstante, el nivel de adopción es bajo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar las características de los agricultores que muestran disposición a sembrarlas. Este estudio tuvo como eje, trabajo de campo para obtener información de agricultores de 17 municipios del estado. La información se analizó con el estadístico Chi-cuadrada y una regresión logística. Los resultados y conclusiones apuntan que, los agricul­tores que conocen las semillas híbridas y cuya intención es vender, tienen disposición a sembrarlas. El 100% prefieren semillas nativas para consumo familiar y de sus animales.

This study aims to determine the mathematical model of student learning behavior. The model is built by analogizing the spread of learning behavior with infectious diseases, which is called the SEIR model. The survey was conducted through filling out a questionnaire on the learning behavior of junior high school students with a population of 1,143 students. The results of the simulation model show that the peak of students' vulnerability to changes in learning behavior increases rapidly in the first two days and will be stable when passing the 150th day. The results of the simulation of the SEIR mathematical model with an incubation period of 365 days found that student learning behavior in Non-Boarding Schools will be stable in on day 198, while in Boarding Schools it will be stable on day 201. Infection cases in Boarding Schools fell to 0 on day 25 while in Non-Boarding Schools decreased on day 21, meaning that infections occurring in Boarding Schools were slower and more resistant long, meaning that the influence of the social environment is very significant on student learning behavior. This study also serves as material for policy formulation for the Aceh Provincial Government regarding the junior high school curriculum.
