Introduction: Each year, almost one-third of the elderly fall, and the likelihood of falling increases with age. Combining physical and cognitive training may be an effective intervention for fall risk reduction and cognitive enhancement. Physical and cognitive interventions, such as exercise and cognitive training, may be used to address the decline in cognitive function as well as the presence of some physical fall-related risk factors, such as decreased balance control, muscle weakness, and a slow gait, which predispose older adults to fall. Physical and cognitive abilities training can help to prevent or slow the onset of age- related cognitive decline. Aim: To Determine the Effectiveness of Combined Physical- Cognitive training on Balance among Geriatric population. Objective: To find out the effectiveness of combined physical – cognitive training on balance and cognitive function among geriatric population using Berg Balance Scale and Mini Mental State Examination. Methodology: This study is a quasi-experimental study. The study was conducted with sample size of 15 participants. The participants were selected from SCPT out-patient and SMCH hospital, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The detailed procedure was explained to the participants and a written informed consent form was obtained. All the 15 subjects were assessed with Berg Balance Scale and Mini Mental State Examination as a pretest and the same test was performed for post-test at the end of 4 weeks following the intervention protocol. All the 15 subjects received the combined training of physical and cognitive training for 60 mins, 3 sessions in a week, continued for 4 weeks. Results and Conclusion: Combined physical cognitive training is more effective on improving balance and cognitive function in geriatric population than using of a single treatment protocol.

Published: September 2024

Back pain is one of the most common health problems experienced among individuals, particularly among those who have jobs that require them to sit, stand or perform physically demanding activities for long hours. Teachers are one such group of professionals who are at higher risk of developing back pain due to the nature of their jobs. This has been acknowledged as a significant problem that can impact the job satisfaction of the teaching profession. This study aimed to identify the relationship between back pain and job satisfaction among teachers. This study examines on how back pain is related to the level of job satisfaction among teachers in Kelantan. A cross-sectional study was conducted among randomly selected teachers from thirty-four primary schools in Tanah Merah, Kelantan from December to February 2023. The level of lower back pain was assessed using an Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability, while for Teacher satisfaction scale (TJSS) was used to examine the teacher satisfaction level. The response rate of this study was 100% (n=208). The majority of respondents are females (n=170,81.7%), Malay(n=174,83.7%), married(n=163,78.4%), aged between 30- 39 years old(n=64,31.3%),40-49 years old(n=119,57.2%) and have more than 10 years of work experience. The level of back pain and job satisfaction among teachers (r=-.129, 95%CI=1.6970, 1.9059, P-value= .064) were no significant correlation between two variables. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that back pain among teachers is directly related to job satisfaction. Teaching may be physically stressful and teachers often experience high levels of stress and burnout. However, the findings on relationship between back pain and job satisfaction are not related.

Authors: DeSensi Victoria Laura
Published: September 2024

Psychological well-being plays a significant role in the lived experiences of college students. As more college students report experiencing psychological distress and fewer persist to graduation, students require guidance in developing the skills and mindsets to successfully navigate their academic experiences. Some recent evidence suggests that psychosocial protective factors, such as social support and self-efficacy, are closely tied to academic success. Moreover, researchers have a growing interest in examining elements of educational design and their links to mental health and academic success. The purpose of this literature review is to put forth evidence that demonstrates the value of embedding elements of social and emotional learning (SEL) design to improve college students’ well-being and learning outcomes. SEL design principles help students to set purposeful goals, build relationships, gain self-regulation skills, and develop self-efficacy.

Economic Load Forecasting based on IPSO-VMD-DBiLSTM Network
Authors: Yao Jiaqi
Published: September 2024

Accurate short-term load forecasting is vital for the stable operation of power systems. Given the highly volatile and nonlinear nature of load sequences, we propose a novel Deep Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (DBiLSTM) network incorporating Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) and an attention mechanism to address the aforementioned challenges. In this study, the model's hyperparameters are optimized using an Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) technique. Notably, IPSO employs a nonlinearly decreasing inertia weight to overcome the drawbacks of premature convergence and local optima.
Dual-Path Neural Network based on Deep Features and Transfer Learning for Bearing Fault Diagnosis
Authors: Tong Juntao
Published: September 2024

The safe operation of mechanical equipment is a basic requirement in the industrial manufacturing process. As an important component of mechanical equipment, rolling bearings are prone to unforeseen failures due to long-term operation under complex conditions. The occurrence of failures, no matter how big or small, will cause economic losses. Therefore, reliable diagnosis of rolling bearings is crucial. Aiming at the problem of insufficient feature recognition of convolutional neural networks under strong noise background, a deep feature extraction network integrating multiscale convolutional neural network (MSCNN) and bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) is proposed. MSCNN and BiGRU are used to extract multiscale features and temporal features from noisy vibration signals respectively, and different weights are assigned to the fused features through the attention mechanism module to achieve important feature selection. Furthermore, in order to solve the problem of different feature distributions between the source domain and the target domain under variable working conditions, transfer learning is introduced in the proposed deep feature extraction network. The difference in feature distribution between the source domain and the target domain is measured by a multi-level distance formula, and the measurement result is added to the loss function. The back propagation of the loss is used to achieve the alignment of feature distribution between the source domain and the target domain. Finally, the model uses the SoftMax function as a classifier for rolling bearing fault diagnosis. Experimental comparison and analysis show that the proposed model has good migration ability and achieves a higher fault identification accuracy.

Belə ki, rayonlar bəzi kənd təsərrüfatı bitkilərinin: üzüm, kartof, şəkər çuğunduru, günəbaxan, tərəvəz və s. əkildiyi mərkəzlərdir. Ölkə üzrə günəbaxan istehsalının 46,7%-i Gəncə-Daşkəsən iqtisadi rayonunun, kartof istehsalının 50,9%-i, üzüm istehsalının 31,7%-i, tərəvəz istehsalının 20,6%-i, o cümlədən örtülü torpaqlarda tərəvəz istehsalının 36,4%-i, şəkər çuğunduru istehsalının 30,4%-i Qazax-Tovuz iqtisadi rayonunun payına düşür. Bu bitkilər əhalinin gündəlik ərzaq tələbatının ödənilməsində və yeyinti sənayesinin xammalla təminatında xüsusi əhəmiyyət kəsb etməklə, ərzaq təhlükəsizliyində mühüm rol oynayır. Burada kənd təsərrüfatı müəssisələrinin kifayət qədər olmaması bəzi məhsullardan tam yararlanmağa imkan vermir. Onların emalı müəssisələrinin ərazidə yerləşdirilməsi mühüm iqtisadi səmərə verə bilər.
Dövlət Proqramlarının icrası aqrar sahədə müsbət nəticələrin əldə olunmasına, məhsuldarlığın və istehsalın yüksəlməsinə şərait yaratmışdır. Regionlarda davamlı inkişafı təmin etmək üçün hazırkı Dövlət Proqramında da kənd təsərrüfatının inkişafı prioritet məsələlərdəndir.
Social Media Applications in Crisis Management of Natural Disasters: Lessons for the Arab Region
Authors: Elsamni Abdulrahman
Published: September 2024

Throughout history, nations have suffered natural disasters that inflict damage, spread chaos, and claim lives. In contrast to anthropogenic or human-made disasters that are usually limited in scope, a natural disaster can impact a whole country, or even a continent. Earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, landslides, and hurricanes, to name a few, are natural disasters that differ in form but can be similar in magnitude and death toll. The new century has witnessed the costliest natural disasters in United States history, with Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Sandy in 2012, Irma and Harvey in 2017. Mexico was hit in 2017 with its strongest earthquake in a century, after Japan was hit in 2011 by Tōhoku, its most powerful earthquake on record. The aftermath of a natural disaster can be deadly if governments and other stakeholders do not implement efficient crisis management plans that effectively employ mass media. The same applies to individual citizens, who need to utilize every possible opportunity offered by technology and mobile access to mitigate the damage. Studying social media applications and their role during natural disasters could draw various lessons in crisis management for the Arab region. This article examines the role of social media in crisis management of natural disasters as it applies to both governments and individual citizens. It aims to determine whether social media applications can reframe the management of natural disasters and offer added value in comparison to traditional media. If so, how, and what, are its limitations? In so doing, this article outlines the strengths and opportunities of social media crisis interaction and weighs them against the weaknesses and potential threats of its use, in order to come out with recommendations on best practices for Arab citizens, governments, and organizations regarding the possible uses of social media in managing natural disasters.
BOOK REVIEW | As Terrorism Evolves
Authors: Boyd Douglas
Published: September 2024

Seib, P. (2017). As Terrorism Evolves: Media, Religion and Governance. Cambridge, U.K.: Cambridge University Press. USC journalism professor Philip Seib has done a great service for those who follow media-driven events connected with terrorism inspired by Middle East- and Africa-based terror groups that have, for many, become household names, such as Al Qaeda and ISIS; two well known terrorist parent organizations. Seib’s publication is valuable for many reasons. Of course, as will be noted later, there is the specific content, but the succinct 188-page book in his clear insightful style is never lost in lengthy philosophical or political theory. The book discusses religious fervor, politics, and financial forces that have produced events such as 9/11; ISIS in Syria, Iraq, and Libya; and terrorist attacks in the Middle East and Europe -- always with a focus on how events are filtered with increasing sophistication via social media and ultimately through the world’s major news outlets.

Buscando ampliar o acesso em saúde, o Estado instituiu o Programa Mais Médicos (PMM) por meio da Lei 12.871/2013, com a finalidade de formar recursos humanos na área médica e diminuir a carência de médicos nas regiões prioritárias para o SUS. Esta revisão propõe-se em descrever e analisar os impactos e desafios da implantação do PMM no Brasil.  Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada no ano de 2024. Realizou-se a análise de artigos publicados de forma integral na base de dados SciELO, em português, entre os anos de 2020 e 2023, utilizando-se o descritor “Programa Mais Médicos”. Após a busca na base de dados selecionada, foram inventariados 36 artigos, sendo que 5 artigos foram lidos na íntegra e incluídos para a discussão no presente estudo. A totalidade dos estudos concluiu que houve um incremento no quantitativo de médicos no território brasileiro, em relação ao período anterior à implantação do Programa, com destaque para territórios anteriormente desassistidos ou com dificuldades de fixação do profissional. Verificou-se também aumento do número de médicos nesta modalidade de atendimento, expansão das equipes da Estratégia Saúde da Família, ampliação da cobertura da Atenção Primária com maior agilidade no atendimento prestado, aumento do número de consultas prestadas à comunidade, expansão do número de procedimentos realizados na atenção básica e redução das internações sensíveis à Atenção Primária a Saúde. Esses dados reforçam a necessidade de manutenção e ampliação do Programa Mais Médicos, que contribui de forma incontestável para a melhoria dos indicadores em saúde e no fortalecimento da atenção primária à saúde.

Authors: Relojo-Howell Dennis
Published: September 2024

The integration of Technical Vocational Tracks (TVET) within the Philippine K-12 education reform represents a transformative shift. This article conducts an in-depth review of the challenges and opportunities of embedding TVET within the Philippine education system. Using a comprehensive research approach, including literature analysis, surveys, interviews, and document scrutiny, this study explores the complexities of K-12 TVET. Key stakeholders, including educators, students, policymakers, and industry leaders, contribute diverse perspectives. Challenges encompass curriculum-industry alignment, resource allocation, teacher training, and addressing societal perceptions of vocational education. Regional disparities in access further exacerbate these issues. Conversely, opportunities arise in enhanced employability, industry engagement, entrepreneurship incubation, and diversified educational pathways. TVET can bridge skill gaps and drive economic development. This review offers a holistic perspective on coexisting challenges and opportunities in K-12 TVET, contributing to the ongoing discourse on Philippine education reform. The insights inform evidence-based policies, guide curriculum development, and shape the future of TVET within Philippine education, fostering inclusivity and national progress.
Five Mysteries
Authors: Shorkend Dr. Daniel
Published: September 2024

In this essay, I outline 5 aspects that indicate a great mystery that pervades the universe. These mysteries are as such because no further knowledge can be gained which would explain them once and for all, in the way that accruing knowledge might dispel a false notion. They are insoluble and sit at the base of what we can know, a limit point to what can be grasped, but awareness of them, is at least the solid vessel within which knowledge can be poured metaphorically speaking, though in themselves not solid, as one can only but be aware of them and not grasp them as one would a cup. Nevertheless, recognition of our limits is the first step to gaining knowledge with the feelings of awe and wonder. This leads to humility, which is necessary to stave off the arrogance of human achievement and know-how.
Educational Pedigree and Prestige: Does where Head Executives Earn Degrees Matter?
Authors: Lombard Dr. Emmett
Published: September 2024

The Introduction explains the purpose of this study--identify and describe educational pedigrees of head executives of so-called prestigious colleges and universities in the United States. It also illuminates why such a study is important not only to the higher education sector but overall society. The Literature Review attempts to connect the study with others on the same topic; although impressive work was found onrelationships between having degrees from prestigious colleges or universities and career success, little ironically examined educational pedigrees of head executives of the actual institutionsin question. The Materials, Methods, Results section identifies“prestigious” institutions (i.e., those often highly positioned in popular source rankings) and educational pedigrees of their head executives (found on institutional Websites); results showed that most head executives employed byso-called prestigious schools also earned degrees from thosevery same schools. The Limitations section reminds readers that this is a descriptive study, not one that infers reasons for results described. The Discussion section considers the study’s results from a wider societal standpoint and suggests reasons why they are important, not least of whichinclude equity and inclusion concerns. A Future Research section follows, and the Conclusion includes suggestions for action along with opportunities concerning the situation of higher education executive pedigree as described.

The Birth of Athena: A Teratological Approach
Authors: Sameiro Barroso Maria do
Published: September 2024

The birth of Athena, the Patron Deity of Athens, praised for her wisdom and craft skills, as an adult from Zeus’ head after a severe headache, is an abnormal and biologically impossible event that challenges traditional gender roles. This narrative takes to the extreme the impossibility of Nature to change the essentially feminine function of giving birth and the worldview previously embodied by the great Goddess or great Mother, the dominant figure during the Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages. There have been significant historical shifts in societal values and power dynamics since the Bronze Age. The onset of agriculture, animal domestication, and the discovery of metals allowed the manufacture of more powerful and effective weapons that led to the flourishing of male hegemony and patriarchy, establishing the prevalence of masculine over feminine values. This essay highlights the role of Nature Sciences and Medicine in understanding mythological creatures and narratives. Approaching the natural phenomena, the aforementioned disciplines can sometimes shed light on ancient narratives, since records of congenital malformations, which came down to us in worldwide artworks, often present images similar to those from the shelves of Anatomical Museums and Pathological Anatomy books. This essay discusses this possible relationship in the case of Athena’s birth, presenting a olivine stone head of Zeus from the Archaeological Museum, D. Diogo de Sousa in Braga (Portugal), which presents the crack from which Athena was born.
