Published: October 2022

Abstract

Health development can increase awareness, ability and willingness to live a healthy life that will realize optimal public health status. A mother's assumption about posyandu as a place to weigh is not to monitor her child's growth and development. The mother's assumption is due to lack of knowledge about the function of the posyandu so that the growth and development of toddlers is not monitored. This study was to determine the knowledge and attitudes of mothers of children under five about the growth and development of children under five at the posyandu. This type of correlation research uses a cross sectional design, carried out in June-July 2022 at Poyandu RW 5, Bongsari Village, Semarang City. The population is mothers who have children under five aged 1-5 years as many as 250 respondents and the sample is 65 respondents. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The results show that respondents with less knowledge level are 31 respondents (47.7%); and poor attitude as many as 37 respondents (56.9%); it is known that p value = 0.001 means that there is a relationship between knowledge and attitudes of mothers of children under five about growth and development of children under five in posyandu RW 5, Bongsari sub-district, Semarang City; Suggestions to the community, especially mothers who have toddlers, are expected to always be active and visit the posyandu so that the growth and development of their toddlers is monitored

Authors: Ali Akbar Kamaludheen , Mubeena T.
Published: October 2022

In this article, we prove that the group of all increasing homeomorphisms on R has exactly five normal subgroups, and the group of all homeomorphisms on R has exactly four normal subgroups. There are several results known about the group of homeomorphisms on R and about the group of increasing homeomorphisms on R ([2], [6], [7] and [8]), but beyond this there is virtually nothing in the literature concerning the topological structure in the aspects of topological dynamics. In this paper, we analyze this structure in some detail.

Objectives: Nine strong cyclones have been recorded in Oman in the last 50 years, the last being tropical cyclone Shaheen in October 2021, in the northern Oman area. The aim of our study was to determine the relationship between property loss and the mental health of residents after cyclone Shaheen. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among Omani citizens living in areas affected by cyclone Shaheen three to six months post-cyclone. In an online, self-reported questionnaire, we assessed the loss of participants’ properties due to the cyclone and the impact on their perceived mental health. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and associations between demographics, loss of properties, and mental health were performed. Results: Of 440 participants, 79.3% had their houses directly damaged by the cyclone and 90.7% had their outside properties damaged. Most of the respondents reported that they suffered from mental health symptoms in the months following the cyclone. Women, people with a lower socioeconomic status, the unemployed, and those without a university degree were associated with poorer mental health outcomes. Mental health was significantly lower for respondents whose properties were mostly affected by the cyclone. Conclusions: With scant knowledge about how cyclones directly affect Omanis’ mental health, the results of this study are paramount for the planning of psychological care services to improve the country’s response to extreme weather events.

Este texto contextualiza o cartografar territórios urbanos como reflexão crítica para pontuar os modos de circulação dos sujeitos que habitam a cidade local. A partir da investigação teórico-prática do território, os elementos do espaço e suas relações sócio-culturais, mapeamos uma localização específica próxima do centro da cidade de Salto/SP, e seus entornos. Enquanto cartógrafo-artista utilizam-se de métodos de pesquisa como jogos surrealistas, pistas cartográficas e derivas psicogeográficas, para compor uma narrativa que se desvela em um mapa multissensorial. A intenção é resgatar uma memória que atravessa o tempo, e ainda pode ser percebida no presente da cidade, com o intuito de provocar uma reflexão crítica sobre o impacto dos modelos de produção e de consumo na paisagem do interior paulista. Assumindo que o apagamento em mapas institucionais condiciona histórias a serem esquecidas, fomenta-se a cartografia enquanto exercício metodológico crítico e opositor aos modelos hegemônicos.

Introduction

Systemic inflammatory and immune suppressive incidents constitute a significant hallmark of red blood cell transfusion's adverse effects. These adverse side effects are seemingly associated with old blood transfusion; therefore, we aim to investigate the underlying mechanism of fresh autologous blood transfusion (fABT) and its subsequent effect in diabetic mice.

Material and methods

In the present study, we utilized 60 Swiss male mice aged 6-8 weeks, categorized into normal, diabetic, and freshly transfused with autologous blood. After treating the mice accordingly, further experimentations took place as we assessed the M1/M2 macrophage polarization concerning CD16/CD32/CD206 cells by flow cytometry, determined the mitochondrial metabolism using Lowry's analysis, measured hepatic oxidative stress using MDA and SOD assays, and examined the erythrocytic oxygen-carrying capacity (Q value) and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and osmotic fragility.

Results

Results showed that fresh autologous blood transfusion markedly reduced M2 macrophage polarization, enhanced hepatic mitochondrial metabolism, reduced hepatic oxidative stress, and promoted red blood cells' oxygen-carrying capacity while reducing its osmotic fragility and oxygen consumption. Moreover, we found that fABT promoted the IGF2/PI3K signaling pathway, These results indicate the vital necessity of providing fresh autologous blood transfusion during therapy or surgeries.

Conclusions

In conclusion, our results are the first to highlight the underlying mechanism in which how fABT modulates physiological patterns in diabetic animals model, proposing a sound basis for utilizing fABT in clinical applications.

Authors: Khan Alam , Taqqadus Hafsa , Khattak Ibrahim
Published: October 2022

By analyzing Pakistan's Balance of payment from 1980 to 2019, the study aims to analyze the effect of various factors exchange rate, trade barriers and money supply on balance of trade. The empirical analysis investigated the SR and LR effect. A statistically significant LR relationship between the study variables is verified by the results except for foreign trade policy. The study found that in Pakistan, both monetarist and absorption approaches have insignificant foundation. Furthermore, the ER is insignificant in the short run at level and lag, while all other variables are statistically significant in SR. Thus, results provide significant information in reaching the desired conclusion. Based on findings this study suggests that the State bank is needed to play its role in fixing the balance of the trade problem by using money supply as a policy tool. Moreover, the authorities should focus upon the income rather than ER policy as a tool for correcting the Balance of the Payment.
The effects of capital structure on the operational efficiency of Small and Medium-Sized manufacturing enterprises (SMSME) in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa
Authors:   , Nxumalo Nomfundo Kuhlekonke Minenhle
Published: October 2022

The study examined the effects of capital structure on the operational efficiency of SMSME (SMSME) in Pietermaritzburg, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa (SA). The objective of the research work was to evaluate the difficulties that SMSME in PMB face in accessing financial aid from financial institutions. Furthermore, to examine the factors that influence the operational efficiency of SMSME in PMB. Finally, to determine the impacts of capital structure on the operational efficiency of SMSME in PMB. The study was cross-sectional and utilized a quantitative research method. The primary data gathering instrument was a survey questionnaire. The researcher used an adjusted sampling procedure that yielded a sample size of 107, but the researcher decided to employ the whole target population of 148, which resulted in 141 responses. The information was gathered by survey questionnaires and analyzed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). According to the findings of this research work, most manufacturing SMEs could not access funding because of the information gap. Some of the most notable findings suggested that SMEs lack the requirements to access the loan. Internal sources of funding are preferred by most SMEs since they are easier to get and less expensive. The findings show that the capital structure of the organization is influenced by the business size, its age, its profitability, and its assets. The longer a business has been around and the larger it is, the more it indicates that it can withstand difficult economic times. Instead of making decisions on capital structure based on broad overviews, the study advised that businesses should examine closely and compare the cost of capital to the value that may be gained from it when deciding on the capital structure composition. This will assist managers in ensuring a profit at the end of the day. This finding contradicts the findings of most research done in developed countries, which suggest that capital structure and the performance of a firm (operational efficiency) possess a positive relationship. The findings of this study reveal that, even though some government funding and support groups have been there for a long time, small firms are still uninformed of them, and those that are aware are underutilizing them. The findings of the research work supported the pecking order theory which suggests that a firm should utilize internal sources to keep away from asymmetric information costs. However, if the sources internally are not sufficient to finance the operations of the business, they can look at the external sources to finance.

В результате исследования установлено, чтомолочная продуктивность овцематок казахской курдючной полугрубошерстной породы достигает 100-110 кг молока за лактацию. Средняя живая масса баранчиков и ярочек, полученных от овцематокказахской курдючной полугрубошерстной породы III и IV лактации, при рождении соответственно составила 4,89 и 5,02 кг, а у ярочек 4,36 и 4,73 кг. А к моменту отъёма от матерей, в 90-дневном возрасте, средняя живая масса баранчиков и ярочек составила 32,62-34,42 кг и 29,24-30,56 кг соответственно. По результатам изучения физико-химических свойств молока, установлено, что массовая доля жира в овечьем молоке в среднем составляет 6,10%, белка 4,46% и лактозы 4,22%. Средняя величина плотности молока в начале опыта составляет 1,0365 г/см3, а к концу лактации несколько снижалось и составляла 1,0347 г/см3. Уровень кислотности молока, как в начале, так и конце опыта оставались в пределах 22,2-23,6 °T, а титруемая кислотность колебалась в пределах 22-28 °Т, то есть эти показатели соответствовали требованиям нормативныхдокументов. Уровень pH в молоке находился в пределах 6,50 – 6,55, что также соответствует предъявляемым требованиям.

Published: October 2022

The article provides an analysis of the current state of Kustanay breed of horses in the Northern region of  Kazakhstan. More than 100 heads of breeding horses of Kustanay breed were recorded and described, incl. 9 breeders, 44 broodmare and 79 heads of young animals of different ages in three regions of Kazakhstan. 60% of the horse population of chestnut, 40% of bay. The height at the shoulder of the broodmares is 156 cm, the oblique body length is 155 cm, the chest girth is 180 cm, the girth of  the metacarpus is 19.5 cm. Studhorses are 150-153 180-20.2 cm, respectively. 38% of studhorses are linear - belong to lines 464 Neon and 494 Fort. Average, measurements are somewhat lower than those of horses recorded in the IV volume of the State Book of breeding horses of Kustanay breed (2009), while they correspond to the standard. The probable reason is the evasion of selection and breeding work in the direction of improving the remote characteristics of the massif - orientation to the so-called “baiga” distances. An increase in the index of stretching was revealed against the background of a decrease in flattening and massiveness, with a stable bone index. The se characteristics contribute to ensuring endurance when  used at "baiga" distances, which is confirmed by the performance results presented in the article.

PSYCHOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS OF ECONOMIC GROWTH
Authors: Bundala Ntogwa
Published: October 2022

This study aimed to examine the psychological determinants of economic growth. The study sample was taken from Tanzania in two regions- Mwanza and Kagera. The cross-sectional survey research design was used. The self-checklist questionnaires were used to collect the primary data from 211 individuals. The analysis-weighted automatic linear modelling (AW-ALM) and probit model were used to examine the linear and non-linear behaviour of the psychological determinants (Hube) on economic growth respectively. The study found that the main psychological determinant of economic growth is the motivation of the individual. Moreover, the study evidenced the concavity and convexity of functional/relational behaviour of the Hube on economic growth in the Mwanza and Kagera regions respectively. The study concluded that the effective motivation packages for economic growth are that involve both bounded choices or self-interested (intrinsic) and unbounded choices or induced-interest (extrinsic) motives. Consequently, the study recommended that appropriate motivational strategies should be involved both intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli of the individual.

Deep Recurrent Encoder: an end-to-end network to model magnetoencephalography at scale
Authors: Chehab Omar , Defossez Alexandre , Loiseau Jean-Christophe , Gramfort Alexandre , King Jean-Remi
Published: October 2022

Understanding how the brain responds to sensory inputs from non-invasive brain recordings like magnetoencephalography (MEG) can be particularly challenging: (i) the high-dimensional dynamics of mass neuronal activity are notoriously difficult to model, (ii) signals can greatly vary across subjects and trials and (iii) the relationship between these brain responses and the stimulus features is non-trivial. These challenges have led the community to develop a variety of preprocessing and analytical (almost exclusively linear) methods, each designed to tackle one of these issues. Instead, we propose to address these challenges through a specific end-to-end deep learning architecture, trained to predict the MEG responses of multiple subjects at once. We successfully test this approach on a large cohort of MEG recordings acquired during a one-hour reading task. Our Deep Recurrent Encoder (DRE) reliably predicts MEG responses to words with a three-fold improvement over classic linear methods. We further describe a simple variable importance analysis to investigate the MEG representations learnt by our model and recover the expected evoked responses to word length and word frequency. Last, we show that, contrary to linear encoders, our model captures modulations of the brain response in relation to baseline fluctuations in the alpha frequency band. The quantitative improvement of the present deep learning approach paves the way to a better characterization of the complex dynamics of brain activity from large MEG datasets.
Improvement of output voltage from shading interference on solar cell using a reflector system
Authors: Iqbal Muhammad , Ihsanto Eko , Mohammednour Agab Bakheet
Published: October 2022

One of the factors that affect the performance of photovoltaic cells is shading. Shading can reduce the intensity of solar radiation on the cells. This study aims to design a system that can improve the amount of voltage from shading disturbances to optimise the output voltage on the solar cell by using a reflector. The reflector is designed in a flat mirror measuring. It is expected that there will be an increase in the output voltage of the existing solar cell system. The more reflected light that hits the surface of the solar panel and illuminates the shading area, the more significant the increase in output voltage, current and power, and vice versa.

Revisiting the Online Learning Concerns during COVID-19: A Systematic Review
Authors: Irshad Farah , Khakwani Muhammad Hashaam Ali
Published: October 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic forcefully shifted the world into a virtual society; consequently, all the brick-mortar businesses moved toward click-mortar businesses. Considerable research has been done to improve the e-learning mode of education before the vigorous situation of COVID-19, which affected the whole world. The current review paper aims to conduct a study on e-learning in COVID-19, published from March 2020 till 2022. This paper analyzed 38 articles concerning the different modes of e-learning, synchronous, asynchronous, and blended e-learning. The digital divide and lack of ICT skills are the main hindrances in successful this virtual process. The current study revealed that these two modes of e-learning are not purely practical if used individually. In contrast, the combination of these two modes is beyond effective and raises students' satisfaction. There is a crucial need to establish a valid infrastructure to promote online learning on a routine basis so that education institutes can immediately switch from brick-mortar to click-mortar learning systems.

Published: October 2022

Does personality matter when entrepreneurship endeavors are driven by Islamic values and religious practices? To understand this, the study reviewed the research on the relationship between personality and practicing Islamic Entrepreneurship. More specifically, the study proposed a conceptual model after reviewing the literature to show what personality traits and characteristics become important when Islamic religious values and practices guide entrepreneurial activities, therefore, appear as critical contextual factors. The study identified traits and characteristics such as initiative, excellence, honesty, patience, knowledge, ethics, social responsibility, and customer orientation having a robust relationship with the manifestation of opportunity exploration and opportunity exploitation when individuals adhere to Islamic values system during the business venturing. Though, personality research in the field of Entrepreneurship is criticized, however, religion as a contextual variable shapes personality towards the way how Entrepreneurship is practiced. The study is concluded with the limitation and future lines of inquiry.

In addition to updating classifications that have become traditional in analyzing Latin aphorisms and phrases (chronological perspective, ab ovo perspective), this article offers new perspectives to approach the Latin aphoristic corpus, such as the formal-semantic dimension, which allows attesting the phenomena of semantic increase, establishing relations of synonymy, antonymy, homonymy, inter- – intra-aphoristic levels, etc.; all these investigations are accompanied by etymological and semantic-pragmatic elucidations. The presence of figures of speech (antithesis, oxymoron, etc.) increases the degree of expressiveness of Latin formulas. The interpretation of the hypernymy phenomenon is based on the three-dimensionality: ontology, deontology, gnoseology, their concepts having the status of hypernyms in establishing the semantic field.

ABSTRACT: Background: Intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome are potentially life-threatening conditions. Measuring intra-abdominal pressure helps identify patients developing intra-abdominal hypertension, which allows for timely intervention before progression to abdominal compartment syndrome. It is often measured by the bedside nurse in the intensive care unit, who plays a key role in managing critically ill patients and recognizing potential causes for clinical deterioration. Therefore, they should be knowledgeable about this entity.Aim: The aim of this study was to assess nurses’ knowledge and practice regarding intra-abdominal pressure measurement and abdominal compartment syndrome prevention. Design: A descriptive exploratory design was utilized in this study. Subject: A convenience sample of about 60 male and female nurses. Setting: The study was carried out at intensive care unit and cardiac care units at Kom Hamada and Itay el Baroad Hospital. Data collection tools: two tools were used for data collection(I) Knowledge assessment questionnaire: which included (a) Socio-demographic data (b) Nurses’ knowledge related to intra-abdominal pressure measurement, intra- abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome prevention. (II): The observational checklist: To assess nurses' practices regarding intra-abdominal pressure measurement. Results: The results showed that the most studied nurses (80%) had poor knowledge regarding all items related to intra-abdominal pressure measurement, intra-abdominal hypertension, and complications of abdominal compartment syndrome. moreover, about (71.7%) of the studied nurses had an unsatisfactory level of practice regarding intra-abdominal pressure measurement. Conclusion: critical care Nurses' understanding of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome is generally falling short in the areas of presentation and outcomes, necessitating tailored and targeted educational interventions.

SMK Santo Leo is a private school located in West Jakarta. Along with the times that are always developing, students' skills are required to be even better in order to compete after they graduate from school. One of them is the provision of Technopreneurship, namely the use and incorporation of technology to run a business or business because students must be motivated to become entrepreneurs after they graduate from school, especially in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, almost all businesses are already using information technology. E-commerce applications are technologies that are used to combine technology and business. Santo Leo Vocational School is a school with expertise programs that have not yet been optimal in developing Technopreneurship technology for students, therefore holding community service is very appropriate to provide additional training and motivation to students. Currently, the method of providing students with expertise only uses the conventional method, namely jumping into the field, even though it can also be done using a more modern method. Technopreneurship has many advantages because it uses internet media so that its reach is wider. The goal is for students to be literate with technology that can be implemented in business. The benefit of the activity is to provide students with learning so that it can be used to create businesses that incorporate technology. The results to be achieved in this Technopreneurship training and development are the skills that students have so that they can develop more so that the technology used can be more effective and efficient in running a business or business.

Use of mobile dating apps and websites has increased exponentially in the past 10 years. While these platforms create opportunities to develop and pursue social, romantic and/ or sexual relationships both online and in the real world, media reporting and broader commentary has raised concerns about users being subjected to high levels of sexual harassment, aggression and violence. The current study surveyed 9,987 dating app or website users in Australia to explore the prevalence and nature of dating app facilitated sexual violence (DAFSV) victimisation within the sample. Findings revealed that three-quarters of users were subjected to online DAFSV, and a third were subjected to in-person DAFSV, perpetrated by someone they met on a dating app or website. Users often experienced repeat victimisation. DAFSV victimisation was particularly common among LGB+ communities. This study provides valuable information to aid development of policies and practices to prevent the occurrence and recurrence of DAFSV.
AI-based indoor localization using mmWave MIMO channel at 60 GHz
Authors: Khunteta Shubham , Chavva Ashok Kumar Reddy , Agrawal Avani
Published: October 2022

In recent years, indoor localization using wireless systems has been an important area of research for its applications towards health, security and the tracking of users. A Global Positioning System (GPS) is considered as the best solution for localization for outdoor scenarios but it fails to provide accurate positioning for indoor scenarios. Wi-Fi fingerprinting methods using received signal strength from multiple access points are popular for solving indoor localization problem. As the wireless systems move towards higher frequencies, higher bandwidth and a large antenna array, sensing has also become feasible along with communication, which is an important research area towards 6G named as Integrated Communication And Sensing (ISAC). ISAC relies on sensing parameter estimations, such as estimation of fine range, Doppler and angular information which contains the signature of the surrounding objects. A localization problem can be solved by analysing the sensing parameters. In this paper, we propose a solution for the localization problem for IEEE 802.11ay WLAN systems based on signal processing and Machine Learning (ML) in indoor scenarios. (...)

The fifth generation of mobile networks evolved to serve applications with distinct requirements, which results in a high management complexity due to simultaneous real-time tasks. In the physical layer, code words that allow proper data exchange between the Base Station (BS) and the served users must be chosen. While, in higher layers, the BS must choose users to be served in a given transmission opportunity. There are approaches based on Machine Learning (ML) to solve these combined tasks. However, due to the high amount of possible inputs, a challenge is the availability of data to train the models. In some cases, there may not even exist a predefined optimal answer to use as a "label" for supervised approaches. In this paper, we evaluate solutions for the combined problems of beam selection and user scheduling with Reinforcement Learning (RL), which does not need labels, as a solution for problems without a predefined answer. The algorithms were proposed for Problem Statement 6 of the challenge organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in 2021, which ranked as the finalists. We compare the approaches in relation to the cumulative reward received by the agents and show a performance comparison of different RL approaches by comparing them with baselines developed for the challenge. The paper also shows how the action taken by the trained agents affect network operation by comparing the number of packets transmitted, which is highly related to the proper selection of users and code words.

Authors: Cheng Chen , Lv Haibin , Lv Zhihan
Published: October 2022

The aims demonstrated in this article are to effectively monitor the complex road environment in smart city transportation using the sixth generation mobile communication technology (6G) Digital Twins (DTs), to perceive the complex road environment of smart city traffic. Vehicular Networks (VN) in the smart transportation system have been selected as the research object, and the multi-sensor collaboration and fusion technology in the network is explored, so as to meet the active control requirements of intelligent vehicles. A lidar and camera fusion-based segmentation network C-LNet is proposed. The structure of a C-LNet multi-sensing data fusion segmentation network is double encoder-single decoder. Two encoders are used to extract image features and lidar features respectively. The same heterogeneous data is realized through the synchronization of lidar point cloud data and image data in sensor space. For multimodal information, a multiscale feature fusion-based vehicle collaboration method is designed. In the simulation experiment part, the C-LNet multi-sensing data fusion segmentation network is verified on the KITTI data set. The accuracy, F1 value, and MIoU of C-LNet are 98.4%, 96.7%, and 94.51%, respectively, which are better than those of an RGB network and lidar network. In summary, the smart transportation system supported by DTs in a 6G environment is explored. The proposed VN sensing fusion method can effectively realize the collaborative positioning perception of multiple vehicles, which lays the foundation for the realization of complex collaborative decision-making and control in smart transportation.
QT-Routenet: Improved GNN generalization to larger 5G networks by fine-tuning predictions from queueing theory
Authors: de Aquino Afonso Bruno Klaus , Berton Lilian
Published: October 2022

In order to promote the use of machine learning in 5G, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) proposed in 2021 the second edition of the ITU AI/ML in 5G challenge, with over 1600 participants from 82 countries. This work details the second place solution overall, which is also the winning solution of the Graph Neural Networking Challenge 2021. We tackle the problem of generalization when applying a model to a 5G network that may have longer paths and larger link capacities than the ones observed in training. To achieve this, we propose to first extract robust features related to Queueing Theory (QT), and then fine-tune the analytical baseline prediction using a modification of the Routenet Graph Neural Network (GNN) model. The proposed solution generalizes much better than simply using Routenet, and manages to reduce the analytical baseline's 10.42 mean absolute percent error to 1.45 (1.27 with an ensemble). This suggests that making small changes to an approximate model that is known to be robust can be an effective way to improve accuracy without compromising generalization.
