In an increasingly advanced era, allproperty or home furniture is required to have arenewable innovation and efficiency. This is becauseproperty or home furniture currently has a very largemass or size. Large furniture sizes such as chairs andtables have an average area of 500cm2. Almost 90% ofIndonesian people have tables and chairs as the contentsof their household furniture. Not only functioned athome, in restaurants, cafes, malls, offices, in parks andall places where if there is interaction between humans,there must be chairs and tables as places for interaction.But sometimes the owners of chairs and tables oftencomplain about the size of the tables and chairs, so they need a large enough area to place these two items. Theproblem that exists in society today is the narrowing ofempty land in one place. Sometimes there is homefurniture that is not ergonomic, such as a chair that istoo high, a table that is too low and so on. By using thisanthopometric method, the measurements obtainedinclude a chair along the 95th percentile 25 cm, chairlength 33 cm 95th percentile, table length 68 cm 5thpercentile, chair height 39 cm 5th percentile, table height69 cm 5th percentile, and finally lower surface height. atable of 54 cm on the 95th percentile, and it is hoped thatthe manufacture of a chair flexibility table productdesign can overcome all the problems of land limitationsthat exist in today's society.

An equity-oriented admissions model for Indigenous student recruitment in an undergraduate medical education program
Authors: Henderson Rita , Walker Ian , Myhre Doug , Ward Rachel , Crowshoe Lynden (Lindsay)
Published: March 2021

Background: With the 2015 publication of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s calls to action, health professional schools are left grappling with how to increase the recruitment and success of Indigenous learners. Efforts to diversify trainee pools have long looked to quota-based approaches to recruit students from underserved communities, though such approaches pose dilemmas around meaningfully dismantling structural barriers to health professional education. Lessons shared here from developing one multi-layered admissions strategy highlight the importance of equity—rather than equality—in any recruitment for learners from medically underserved communities.  

Summary: The promotion of fairness in the recruitment of future practitioners is not just a question of equalizing access to, in this case, medical school; it involves recognizing the wider social and structural mechanisms that enable privileged access to the medical profession by members of dominant society. This recognition compels a shift in focus beyond merely giving the disadvantaged increased access to an unfair system, towards building tools to address deeper questions about what is meant by the kind of excellence expected of applicants, how it is to be measured, and to what extent these recruits may contribute to improved care for the communities from which they come. 

Conclusion: Equity-based approaches to student recruitment move health professional schools beyond the dilemma of recruiting students from marginalized backgrounds who happen to be most similar to the dominant student population. Achieving this requires a complex view of the target population, recognizing that disadvantage is experienced in many diverse ways, that barriers are encountered along a spectrum of access, and that equity may only emerge when a critically, socially conscious approach is embedded throughout institutional practices.

Published: March 2021

Currently watershed governance still involves many stakeholders from different territories, ranging from local to cross-country, and also, different social, political, cultural, and economic factors. Therefore, this study aims to categorize the themes or concepts related to watershed management studies. Through descriptive analysis and the help of the Nvivo-12 software, 383 Scopus indexed paper articles, which were published by major publishers such as Emerald, MDPI, Sage, ScienceDirect, Springer, Taylor and Francis, were obtained. The results indicate that there are 155 concepts in the watershed governance study, and they can be categorized into 6 groups. Furthermore, they are also related to dominant themes such as water resources, governance, watershed, environment, local issue, and policy. The significance of this study is the discovery of the concept of watershed governance studies; therefore, it can assist in the development of conceptual frameworks in future studies. Meanwhile, the limitation of this study is that the articles it reviewed were obtained from only the Scopus database, therefore, it does not have comparable data. Consequently, future studies need to use a comparative analysis approach which involves both the Scopus and the Web of Sciences (WoS) databases.

Published: March 2021

This research is aimed at exploring how to use Facebook to develop civic engagement in Klaten Regency Indonesia by the Info Cegatan Klaten (ICK) community. Technological advances result in the ease of communication in everyday life. However, these technological advances also have the effect of increasing personal egoism and lack of social care. Given this condition, the ICK community, as a Facebook virtual community, tries to build civic engagement to eliminate social disparities that occur using social media as the main media. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach. The sampling method was purposive sampling. In this study, 6 informants were taken. The data were collected using an interview, observation, and documentation. The interviews were conducted with the general chairperson of ICK, the treasurer, social media administrators, and 3 members of the community. Observations were made on the Facebook group page of the community and its activities. The data were then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model which consists of three activities, namely data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results showed that the civic engagement was built through social media by: first, the ICK Community made the Facebook group an online space to collect information about Klaten's community problems; second, the ICK community utilizes the Facebook group features to invite the people around Klaten to become Stakeholders and join the discussions for the good of the community in the future; third, Facebook is used to provoke civic engagement by informing each agenda to be carried out.

Les eaux transfrontalières fédératrices d’une hydro-diplomatie environnementale ? Analyse comparée du Danube et du Jourdain
Authors: Richard Bastien
Published: March 2021

Les accords multilatéraux sont en vogue dans le monde des organisations internationales et reflètent une volonté croissante de renforcer l’hydro-diplomatie pour prévenir les conflits liés au partage des eaux transfrontalières. Cependant, ce partage est historiquement préempté par les accords bilatéraux entre États. Dans ce contexte, nous nous interrogeons sur la capacité des accords multilatéraux pour la gestion des eaux transfrontalières à être moteurs d’une hydro-diplomatie environnementale. Nous montrons que si ces accords ne résolvent pas directement l’obstacle de la souveraineté territoriale des États et des enjeux politiques comme dans le cas du bassin du Jourdain, ni celui du partage quantitatif des eaux transfrontalières, ils créent des espaces de dialogue fédérés par les questions environnementales comme le montre le cas du bassin du Danube, tempérant les gestes unilatéraux et contribuant en douceur à une redistribution des rôles vers des acteurs non étatiques.

Published: March 2021

Les recherches menées dans la ville de Sokodé (Centre-Togo) en juin 2017 ont permis d’évaluer la diversité des ligneux et de relever les perceptions des populations sur leur importance. Les ligneux des concessions, les voiries, les établissements, les interstices et les places publiques ont été inventoriés. Dans les différents placeaux, les noms scientifiques des espèces présentes ont été identifiés. Au total 118 espèces ligneuses regroupées en 98 genres et 38 familles ont été recensées à travers 209 relevés. L’indice de diversité de Shannon (4,8 bits) est relativement plus élevé au niveau des établissements, suivi des concessions (4,61 bits), des interstices (4,03 bits) puis des voiries (3,7 bits). Par contre l’équitabilité de Piélou est plus élevée (0,87) au niveau de la voirie. Les familles des Fabaceae (25 espèces et 22 genres), Moraceae (11 espèces et 3 genres), Rutaceae (7 espèces et 4 genres), Apocynaceae (6 espèces et 5 genres), Arecaceae et des Malvaceae (6 espèces et 6 genres chacune), Annonaceae (5 espèces et 3 genres), Bignonaceae (5 espèces et 5 genres) et Euphorbiaceae (5 espèces et 4 genres) sont les plus représentées. Les Microphanérophytes (54,7 %) et les Mésophanérophytes (29,91 %) sont les types biologiques les plus abondants. Sur le plan phytogéographique, les espèces soudano-zambéziennes (20,41 %) sont les plus représentées, suivies des espèces Pantropicales (19,39 %). Une enquête par questionnaire a été réalisée auprès de 120 personnes. L’importance des ligneux en milieu urbain est reconnue par les populations locales. Le principal avantage reconnu est l’alimentation (63,5 %), auquel viennent s’ajouter d’autres tels que l’ombrage (59,5 %), le repos (41,9 %), la lutte contre les vents et l’érosion (39,9 %). Les fruits (84,7 %), les feuilles (38,7 %), les racines (16,7 %) et les écorces (16,7 %) de nombreuses espèces ligneuses sont récoltées pour satisfaire les besoins des populations; ce qui fait qu’elles font face à plusieurs menaces. Dans ce contexte, seule une gestion durable permettrait une meilleure conservation de cette ressource dans la ville de Sokodé.

Published: March 2021

Background:

Fear of hypoglycemia is a medical emergency which leads to disrupt individuals' normal lives. Peers support is a hopeful approach to improve diabetes self-care behaviors. This study was conducted to assess the effect of peers support on the fear of hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Materials and Methods:

This randomized clinical trial study was performed among 60 patients with type 1 diabetes in Qazvin city from September 2019 to October 2020. Patients were assigned to control and intervention groups using a random method. The data collection tools included demographic characteristics and a standard questionnaire for Hypoglycemia Fear Survey (HFS). Patients in the intervention group were trained by skilled peers for 2 months, but those of the control group only received routine hospital training. The data were analyzed by SPSS version 16 and paired and independent t-test.

Results:

The scores of the fear of hypoglycemia in diabetic patients in the two groups had no significant statistical difference before intervention (t53 = 0.93, p = 0.94). But after the intervention, the independent t-test showed that there was a significant difference between the scores of the fear of hypoglycemia in both groups (t53 = -2.13, p = 0.03).

Conclusions:

Considering the results of the current study, peer support for diabetic patients is an effective way to reduce the fear of hypoglycemia. Therefore, it is recommended using this training method to train diabetic patients.

Authors: Hemmati-Maslakpak Masumeh , Mollazadeh Farzin , Jamshidi Hossein
Published: March 2021

Background:

Among nurses, sleep quality is an important factor which can be associated with many other factors, including job satisfaction, Morning-Evening (ME) chronotypes, and shift schedule. Besides, poor sleep quality can cause some problems for nurses and negatively affect the quality of nursing care. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the predictive power of sleep quality by ME chronotypes, job satisfaction, and shift schedule in nurses working in Urmia teaching hospitals in 2019.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 327 nurses working in teaching hospitals affiliated to Urmia University of Medical Sciences were recruited using stratified sampling. Data were collected using the demographic questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), and the Composite Scale of Morningness (CSM). Data were analyzed using linear regression analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient.

Results:

The results of the Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis showed that the ME chronotypes (R
2 = 0.51, p = 0.006), job satisfaction (R
2 = 0.51, p = 0.001), and shift schedule (R
2 = 0.51, p = 0.005) are significantly correlated with the sleep quality among nurses.

Conclusions:

We concluded that the sleep quality was correlated with ME chronotypes, job satisfaction, and shift schedule, so that increased job satisfaction was associated with improved sleep quality, and the shift to the morning chronotype was associated with decreased sleep quality. Rotating shifts were also associated with higher sleep quality.

Published: March 2021

This study examined the effect of the 5E instructional model on Physics students’ academic achievement based on gender and students’ ability. The study employed a quasi-experimental design using the pre-test, post-test and delayed-post administered instruments to the experimental and control groups. The study involved two instructional strategies (5E instructional model and traditional teaching). Instruments known as Physics Students’ Academic Achievement Test (PSAAT) and Delayed Post Test (DPT) were used to gather data for the study. Mean scores, standard deviations and normalized gains were used to analyses data while ANCOVA and independent-sample t-test were used to test the hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance. A significant difference was found between Physics students instructed with the 5E instructional model and those taught through the traditional classroom. Similarly, a significant difference was found between Physics high-ability student in the 5E instructional group and those in the traditional group. However, a non-significant difference was found between Physics low-ability students in the experimental and the control groups. Similarly, a non-significant different was found among gender concerning pre-test and post-test means scores. However, a significant difference was found among gender in favor for the male students. The study recommended that Physics teachers wanting to improve their students learning outcomes should adopt the 5E instructional model.

Published: March 2021

This study sought to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment among employees of a selected tertiary educational institution at Northwest of Haiti. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 55 employees. It was found that there is a moderate level of job satisfaction and high level of continuance and normative commitment among employees. It was also found that there is a strong positive relationship between job satisfaction and affective commitment and a weak positive relationship between job satisfaction and normative commitment. It was therefore recommended that administrators should seek to find ways and means to provide extrinsic and intrinsic motivating factors in order to prevent job dissatisfaction with regrettable consequences for the institution when employees may decide to leave their organization.

In the midst of continues spread of diseases and multiplicity of security agencies, security governance became a serious issues. Through the government adopted a pragmatic approached, the result has been of mix blessing. It is in light of the above that the paper examines security, government in the COVID-19 pandemic period using Nigeria as a case study.
Nonparametric bayes estimation of the reliability function of a coherent system
Authors: Rahman AKM Fazlur , Pena Edsel A.
Published: March 2021

Complex coherent systems are the engines driving forward our technological world. A coherent system is composed of components, which could be modules or sub-systems, that interact with each other according to some structure function. For purposes of maintenance and safety considerations, it is of critical importance to gain knowledge of the distribution of the system lifetime, with this distribution being a function of the distributions of the components lifetimes. Since the monitoring of a system ceases upon system failure, at system failure some components will be failed, while others, depending on the structure function, will still be functioning with their lifetimes right-censored by the system lifetime. This paper deals with the estimation of the system lifetime distribution. The inferential framework is nonparametric Bayesian, with partition-based Dirichlet processes (PBDP) assigned as priors on the components lifetime distributions. PBDP are more general than the usual Dirichlet process (DP) priors and are particularly suited as priors in settings with censored data. The resulting estimator of the system life distribution, which is a function of the nonparametric Bayes estimators of the components lifetime distributions, is compared in terms of bias and variance with a product-limit type estimator proposed by Doss, et. al. (Ann. Statist., 1989), which can be obtained as a limit of the proposed estimator. These comparisons, which are facilitated through computer simulations, demonstrate that the proposed estimator possesses some robustness. The proposed estimator is illustrated using a synthetic data for a parallel system with five components.

Published: March 2021

Health Care Workers (HCWs) are the backbone of Ontario’s COVID-19 pandemic response and are a key vaccination priority group. About 80% of Ontario HCWs intend to receive COVID-19 vaccine.1 Challenges include the logistics of delivering the vaccine to this mobile and diverse group and improving vaccine confidence in the remaining 20%. These challenges can be overcome by allaying safety concerns and highlighting personal benefits; tailoring messages to factors associated with lower intention (e.g. age, gender, ethnicity and work setting); employing trusted leaders to set the tone and peers to build social norms; and leveraging public health organizations and health institutions as existing channels of influence.

Bestalde, agerian jarri nahi dira arazoak, eta hobetzeko proposamenak eman, etorkizuneko eta beharrezko birkonfigurazioari begira.

RESUMEN: A pesar de que el Impuesto sobre Sucesiones y Donaciones sea un tributo de titularidad del Estado, se encuentra configurado como tributo concertado de normativa autónoma en los territorios forales, del mismo modo que se encuentra cedido al resto de Comunidades Autónomas de régimen común. Por consiguiente, las diferentes autonomías y territorios forales no sólo pueden participar de su rendimiento, sino que también tienen reconocidas competencias tanto respecto a su normativa como a su aplicación y revisión. Así, el análisis de estas diversas capacidades autonómicas es el objeto principal del presente trabajo, procurando poner de manifiesto las diferentes problemáticas que se plantean y aportando diferentes propuestas de mejora de cara a una futura y necesaria reconfiguración.

ABSTRACT: In spite of the fact that the Spanish Inheritance and Gift Tax is a State tax, it is configured as a concerted tribute of autonomous regulation in the Historical Territories of Basque Country and in the Foral Community of Navarra, while is set as a ceded tax in the rest of Spanish Autonomous Communities under the common system. Therefore, regional territories can participate in the tax collection, but they also have recognized normative powers and competences related to its application and review. Thus, the analysis of these regional capacities is the main objective of this work, trying to highlight the different problems encountered and suggesting their improvement.

Authors: KAYMAZ Abdülgani , ERİMŞAH Sevilay
Published: March 2021

Objectives: To compare the effect of intraperitoneal administered Carvacrol with bevacizumab in an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model in rats.Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight newborn rats were included in the study and the OIR model was created with the 50/10% oxygen style. The study consisted of 4 groups and each rat in the groups received an intraperitoneal injection of 0.01 mL once on the postnatal 14th day. While the OIR model was not created in Group I (control group), it was created for Groups II, III, and IV. Groups I and II were injected with 0.9% NaCl solution, Group III with bevacizumab, and Group IV with carvacrol. The rats were sacrificed on the postnatal 18th day. Results: Histopathological and immunohistochemical studies showed that the number of retinal vascular endothelial cells (RVECs) and nuclear factor (NF)-κB levels decreased similarly in Group III and Group IV compared to Group II. RVECs values for Group I, Group II, Group III and Group IV were measured as 1.26±0.80, 27.10±3.63, 7.54±1.38, and 6.22±1.22, respectively and it differed significantly between groups (p<0.001). Likewise, NF-κB levels were recorded as 0.61 ± 0.30, 4.36±0.65, 2.68±0.44, and 2.85±0.58, respectively and it differed significantly between groups (p<0.001). On the other hand, RVECs and NF-κB levels were similar between Group III, and Group IV (p values were 0.58 and 0.91, respectively).Conclusions: The study demonstrated that carvacrol significantly reduced retinal pathological neovascularizations, RVECs, and NF-κB levels. Moreover, the observed effects were comparable to those of bevacizumab.

The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire and was tested for reliability using Cronbach alpha. The reliability coefficient of Library use scale was= 0.9. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings indicate that majority of the respondents reported that nobody encouraged them to use the library. While, respondents were also tried to benefit from all facilities of the library; borrow books from the library. In the face of using library facilities, majority of the respondents established that they visit the library not only when they have assignment. Based on the findings, the study concludes that organizing a series of lecture under user instruction or user education or library orientation program is required in public senior secondary schools. The study recommends that teachers should also mandate students to use the school library effectively; it can help attain high academic achievement. It was also recommended that professional librarians should be employed in public senior secondary schools to plan and execute result oriented information education.

This study examines the role of technology-based instructional method to achieve the goals of higher education in the face of COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aimed at investigating the effectiveness of instructional technology in higher education institutions in relation to the role and usage of Information Communication Technology (ICT), its effectiveness in faculty teaching and its impact on student learning in universities in the post- COVID-19 in Nigeria. This study applied the Need Assessment Approach (NAA). A self-designed questionnaire, that employed benchmarks from similar studies conducted in the West, was used to collect data for this study. One hundred and twenty-five (n = 125) respondents participated in the study. The results suggest that there are significant relationships between the impact of instructional technology, the usage of instructional technology and students’ academic achievement. An absence of ICT instructional materials, ineffective policy implementation and a lack of other resources (infrastructures) to aid teaching and learning are responsible for short comings in the effective implementation of ICT in education in the post- COVID-19. Even though technology presents higher education with challenges - ranging from planning of technological enhancements to educational programmes as technology changes so quickly and unpredictably; and especially for a nation like Nigeria that will be venturing into the use of technology for education newly; and also, the challenge of funding of technologies for educational applications for higher institutions of learning in the post- COVID-19. The paper concluded that the inability of government tertiary institutions to teach students remotely during the pandemic will have effects that will take some time to eradicate. The study recommended that the government need to increase funding for higher education in the post- COVID-19. Management of higher education need to glean insights from other climes to be able to develop a suitable technological tool for teaching and learning in the nation’s higher education system such that our higher education could once again become a springboard for achieving an effective system that will produce employable graduates.

The study evaluates the effect of interest rates on the performance of manufacturing firms in Nigeria between 1981 to 2018. Despite all attempts in developing the manufacturing sector it is still not performing or growing as expected. Statistics have shown that the share of manufacturing in the aggregate GDP declined from 5.3% in 1981 to 4.1% in 1993, 3.4% in 2005, and 4.1% in 1993, 3.4% in 2005, and 2.1% in 2016. The objective of the study is to assess the relationship between interest rates and the performance of manufacturing firms in Nigeria for 38 years. Three indicators such as manufacturing sector output, manufacturing capacity utilization, and manufacturing value-added were employed as proxies of manufacturing firm’s performance. The data were analyzed using ordinary least square regression (OLS) on manufacturing output and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) on manufacturing capacity utilization and manufacturing value-added. A pre-diagnostic test such as the unit root test and cointegration test was carried out on the variables. The cointegration test showed a relationship between manufacturing sector output and interest rates and no cointegration of interest rates with manufacturing capacity utilization and value-added. The data analyzed indicated interest rates has no effect on manufacturing sector output, result also showed that interest rates have no significant effect on capacity utilization and interest rates have a significant impact on manufacturing value-added in Nigeria. It is recommended that interest rates be benchmarked to single digits by the authority; manufacturing firms should be encouraged to operate on a full capacity scale so as to absorb the high-interest rates. The authority will need to step up the responsibility to ensure funds are made available at lower interest rates to the manufacturing sector.
