Published: September 2023

Emotion regulation is the ability to exert control over one’s own emotional state. It may involve behaviors such as rethinking a challenging situation to reduce anger or anxiety, hiding visible signs of sadness or fear, or focusing on reasons to feel happy or calm. Social reticence is expressed as shy, anxiously avoidant behavior in early childhood. With development, overt signs of social reticence may diminish but could still manifest themselves in neural responses to peers. The purpose of the study was to analyse the relationship between Emotion regulation and Social reticence among emerging adults . The sample consisted of 60 college students of age range 18-25, out of which 30 were Males and 30 were Females. The tools used were Emotion regulations questionnaire (ERQ) and Social reticence scale (SRS). The statistical analysis was done using SPSS software.

The world of transportation is changing. Due to increasing mobility demand, challenges like financing, dealing with emissions and volatile oil prices are going up. Decision-makers in the areas of policy and planning have to address these challenges and have try to develop a transportation system capable of meeting the future needs of society and the economy. This paper shows the results of future-oriented research. We first investigate a distributed dynamic computation offloading model for multi-access edge computing (MEC) enabled CITS under a heterogeneous road network, in which the multiple and heterogeneous computing power sources cooperatively provide computation offloading services for vehicles then to ensure smooth transmission of the overwhelming amounts of data, existing wireless transmission technologies have become increasingly insufficient. 5G, which succeeds 4G (LTE, WiMAX) and 3G (UMTS) and promises data rates of 20 Gbps, can help in this regard and Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are the specific sort of ad-hoc networks that are utilized in intelligent transportation systems (ITS). VANETs have become one of the most reassuring, promising, and quickest developing subsets of the mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). They include smart vehicles, roadside units (RSUs), and on-board units (OBUs) which correspond through inconsistent wireless network. In this study we discuss and elaborate the challenges, along with the applications, and the future directions of transforming transportation using embracing the potential of 5G, Heterogeneous Networks, and Software Defined Networking in Intelligent Transportation Systems. At the end we provide the conclusion of the whole study.

Broadsheet Media Coverage of Stock Market Fluctuation in Nepal: A Content Analysis
Authors: Vaidya Rashesh , Gopali Pratik
Published: September 2023

Information plays a vital role in the trading process on the stock market. The buying and selling prices are not only influenced by demand and supply of the listed stocks among investors and traders but are also important for intraday traders. Hence, looking at the importance of information related to the stock market, the media houses cover the news, make covers, post breaking news, and do other journalistic reporting on the stock market. Therefore, the paper conducted a quantitative content analysis of the media coverage of the Nepalese stock market by the two national broadsheet daily newspapers. The paper found that stock market fluctuation coverage was more covered by the private-owned broadsheet Nepalese newspaper than the government-owned broadsheet Nepalese newspaper. Similarly, the tone of the coverage of the stock market was determined by the trend of the stock market. The bullish market was represented by a positive tone, and vice versa. Similarly, a large number of headline news stories were printed in the broadsheet newspaper by both government-owned and private-owned broadsheet newspapers. Nevertheless, the media coverage of the Nepalese stock market has been just a formality for the national-level broadsheet newspapers, as the investors have been getting real-time-based information through online portals that are completely devoted to reporting on the stock market.
Economic Fallout of Covid-19: Evidence from South Africa
Authors: Mathebula Ndzalama , Naape Baneng
Published: September 2023

The covid 19 pandemic was quite challenging for policy makers in that it presented both an economic and health crisis. This meant that policy makers had to strike a balance between saving lives and protecting livelihoods. Against this backdrop, the primary goal of this study is to examine the economic fallout of covid 19 in South Africa. On the education front, the study finds that nearly 15% (2 million) of public-school pupils did not return to school post covid 19. Furthermore, the study finds that the covid 19 pandemic exacerbated the entrenched digital divide in the education system. As regards the economic implications of the covid 19 pandemic, the study found that business liquidations increased by as much as 48.9% following the outbreak of the covid 19 pandemic. Even worse, the total number of civil summonses issued for debt increased by 28.9% in the three months ending July 2021 compared to July 2020. Meanwhile, the value of civil judgements recorded for debt doubled from R483 million to R855 million during the same period. This indicates that following the outbreak of covid 19, a significant number of citizens were facing a litany of cash flow challenges amid reductions in salaries and forced retrenchments, hence the default in loan repayments. There remains a strong need for epidemic preparedness given that disease outbreaks are not likely to disappear in the near future. This can be achieved by harnessing lessons from previous pandemics and establishing effective surveillance and response systems.

Published: September 2023

The amount of water retained by soil depends on its physical and chemical properties, as well as the type of cover or crop present. It is important to understand the effects of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) plantations on water requirements. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine soil humidity parameters in oil palm plantations at different ages of development in Tabasco, Mexico. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with three replications. Four treatments were evaluated: 5-, 11-, and 25-year-old oil palm, and pasture as a control treatment. As response variables, parameters of bulk density (Da), texture, field capacity (CC), permanent wilting point (PMP), electrical conductivity (CE), saturation point (PS), and soil humidity parameters including irrigation sheet (Lr), sheet in the infiltration rate test (Lrinf), basic infiltration (Ib), accumulated sheet (Z), soil humidity retention curves (CRH), and soil humidity stress (EHS) were determined. Ib and Z values were determined in the surface layer; Lr, Lrinf, and CRH at three depths (0–30, 30–60, and 60–90 cm). The results indicate that the treatments presented significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) in all the variables evaluated; and the parameters of field capacity, permanent wilting point, initial and final humidity in the infiltration rate test, affected the humidity content in the Lr, Lrinf, CRH and EHS. It is concluded that oil palm age modifies soil humidity retention parameters and influences water requirements.

The present article stands as a thorough and holistic exploration of Alport syndrome, a uniquely complex inherited nephropathological entity involving a myriad of etiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects. Through a meticulous synthesis of the current scientific literature, this review encompasses a comprehensive appreciation of the underlying genetic basis of the disease, characterized by an aberrant expression of type IV collagen proteins in the glomerular basement membrane, which precipitates a cascade of pathophysiological events with multisystemic implications. The clinical manifestations of Alport syndrome, although classically centered on progressive nephropathy with hematuria and proteinuria, have evolved to include a plethora of variant phenotypes affecting not only the renal, but also the auditory and ocular systems. This phenotypic expansion demands a meticulous differential diagnostic approach, supported by advanced imaging techniques, auditory function studies, and precise genetic analysis, for the sake of early and accurate identification of the condition. Early and accurate diagnosis of Alport syndrome is an essential pillar for effective clinical management and the application of appropriate therapeutic strategies. In this context, the available therapeutic approaches are reviewed in detail, ranging from conservative renal disease therapy to innovative pharmacological interventions and, in some cases, renal transplantation. The importance of multidisciplinary care and genetic counseling for affected families is also discussed, in line with the comprehensive approach to this multisystemic and hereditary condition. In summary, this comprehensive review of Alport syndrome amalgamates a deep appreciation of its genetic, pathophysiological and clinical aspects, while promoting the imperative need for a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to its proper management. Through the integration of advanced medical research and clinical experience, we aspire not only to a more acute understanding of this entity, but also to a substantial improvement in the quality of life of the patients who suffer from it.

Dimensão da participação institucional e o transformismo da participação com sentido democrático-popular
Authors: Ferrari Canez Machado Cristiane , Regina Krüger Tânia
Published: September 2023

O texto tem como objetivo tecer reflexões acerca dos indicadores do tamanho da participação institucionalizada via conselhos de direitos e políticas sociais. Também problematiza o transformismo do conceito de participação promovido pela programática neoliberal que aniquila a democracia de base popular e a política pública de direito de cidadania social e as aproxima da democracia de mercado. O texto foi desenvolvido com base nos indicadores da participação institucional e revisão de literatura. Como resultado, observamos o envolvimento de milhares de cidadãos nos conselhos e a interiorização dos debates sobre as políticas sociais que esses colegiados promoveram no Brasil. Ao mesmo tempo, tais espaços podem representar uma relativa ampliação do Estado, no sentido gramsciano, que se vinculam aos elementos tradicionais da cultura política, recebendo influências do transformismo que envolve o conceito de participação, sendo uma de suas maiores expressões o Decreto n.° 9.759/2019 e a retórica do empoderamento, inovação e eficiência.

Authors: Adeyemi Oluwafemi , Atoe Kenneth
Published: September 2023

In comparison with reports among Caucasians, immune thrombocytopaenic purpura (ITP) is thought to be uncommon in native black Africans and persons of African ancestry worldwide. The uncommon presentation of these instances provides the information required for the collection of data for prospective research and as a foundation for improving illness management techniques aimed at promoting feto-maternal health. This paper offers a retrospective review of a 32-year-old woman who was diagnosed with ITP in her first trimester of pregnancy following a two-day history of nasal bleeding. Four years prior to her presentation, the patient had similar bleeding event, but was undiagnosed; however, it was managed by unorthodox means, with resolution of symptoms. Thereafter, she had recurrent episodes at this index presentation and a year earlier. For the treatment of this condition, corticosteroids such as oral prednisolone, intravenous methylprednisolone and dexamethasone were used in curtailing the bleeding episodes, despite the recurrence. The effectiveness of these medications was striking. She gave birth to a live female neonate through spontaneous vaginal delivery, and overall, the outcome was excellent in both the mother and neonate.
Through Laws and Arguments that Prejudice Children’s Economic Ingenuity in Africa
Authors: Oni Simeon Olaosebikan , Adegbite Aderonke Esther
Published: September 2023

Recent verses of the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 and that of the African Union Agenda 2063 emphasize the wellbeing of persons who are usually excluded from participating in development. These vulnerable persons include children. On the point of marginalization, this study considers children’s freedom of economic ingenuity and the arrays of caretaker activities that prohibit or postpone this liberty. This research is done through a qualitative analysis of primary and secondary sources of law, including cultures. Contrary to common arguments against child employment, this paper posits that “work” is a germane process for human development. Invariably, postponement of economic ingenuity in young persons in favour of formal education may justify dimensions, where unavailability or inadequacy of white collar jobs” disable millions of persons who have spent their childhood, (not less than 18 years) participating in full time schooling. This study argues that anti labour legislations should contain less restrictions on children’s economic freedom. Efforts should rather focus on creating safe work environment and fair wages for children, in manners that do not affect their other developmental rights negatively. Laws should also focus more on eliminating exploitative mentalities, policies and cultures from adults.

Recent technological advancements have enabled the understanding of multi-omics data, including transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Machine learning algorithms have shown promising results in classifying multi-omics data. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the performance of machine learning algorithms in classifying transcriptomics data for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients and healthy control (HC) individuals. A Synthetic dataset of varying sample sizes, dimensionalities, effect sizes, and correlations was generated based on actual transcriptomics data for AD patients. The dataset consisted of 22,254 markers for 92 AD patients and 92 HC individuals. Four machine learning classifiers: naïve Bayes (NB), k-nearest neighbour (k-NN), support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF), were used to classify the data. The simulation was conducted using a parallel processing approach on a high-performance machine. Based on the error rate and F-measure, NB outperformed k-NN, SVM, and RF for high-dimensional data. However, SVM with a radial basis kernel (RBF) kernel performed better than NB only when the sample size was greater than 100 per group for all dimensions. The result suggests that machine learning algorithms, specifically NB, can effectively classify transcriptomics data for AD patients. SVM with an RBF kernel is a better option for large sample sizes. This study provides valuable insights for future research in the classification of transcriptomics data using machine learning algorithms.

Introduction: EUS-guided gallbladder drainage is a safe and effective endoscopic treatment modality for inoperable patients with severe acute cholecystitis with impending complications. It is also used as a salvage technique for patients with malignant biliary obstruction in whom conventional treatment with ERCP or EUS-guided biliary drainage has failed. Methods: The aim of this retrospective, consecutive cohort (November 2016 to December 2022) was to evaluate the technical and clinical success rates and peri-procedural, early and late complications of EUS-guided gallbladder drainage using the Hot AXIOS metallic lumen-apposing stent. Results: The cohort includes a total of 66 patients, of which 43 were benign and 23 were malignant. Technical success rate was 98.5%, clinical success rate was 98.5%. There were two periprocedural complications (bleeding and stent malposition), and two early post-procedural complications (peritonitis on day 2 after the drainage and subhepatic abscess on day 4 after the drainage), early complications were 6%. Late complications were only minor. Four times, we have observed partially or completely embedded LAMS. There was no recurrence of cholecystitis during the 12 months follow-ups. The mean duration of stent deployment for the benign indication was 327 days, and 199 days for patients with a malignant diagnosis. Conclusion: The evaluation of our cohort confirmed the high technical and clinical success of EUS-guided gallbladder drainage using Hot AXIOS stents with a low complication rate.

Today, educational prediction analysis has become an important tool for educational institutions to analyze students, and the performance of students in educational prediction analysis is a critical feedback. However, there are serious challenges in dealing with multifactor datasets to improve the convergence and accuracy of predicting student performance. Therefore, this article comprehensively analyzes machine learning technologies, analyzes the community activities of middle-term students, and explores the impact of community activities on middle-aged students' practical skills. This paper uses Random Forest and Pearson Correlation Coefficient to analyze the relevance of the impact of community activities on student hands-on performance and use Teaching and Learning Algorithms (TLBO) to optimize Back propagation (BP) neural networks applied to predict students' future trends. The results show that the TLBO-BP model can more accurately predict dynamic changes in student performance and predict high accuracy in simple patterns.

This paper addresses the problem of predicting future medication models in a database using a powerful AI system [1][2]. The background highlights the importance of accurate predictions in healthcare for effective decision-making and improved patient outcomes. The proposed solution involves the development of an AI model trained on a diverse dataset of historical medication models, incorporating advanced machine learning algorithms and techniques. The key technologies and components of the program include data preprocessing, feature selection, algorithm comparison, and performance evaluation [3]. Challenges encountered during the project, such as data quality and model generalizability, were mitigated through careful data cleaning and fine-tuning of the AI model [4][5]. The application of the system to various scenarios during experimentation demonstrated its robustness and versatility. The most important results include high prediction accuracy, precision, and recall in forecasting future medication models. The system showed promising performance across different patient populations, suggesting its potential for personalized treatment planning and decision-making. The idea presented in this paper offers a valuable solution for healthcare professionals and researchers seeking accurate predictions in medication modeling, facilitating better patient care and optimized treatment strategies.
