Neural mechanisms of bimanual coordination in humans and application of neuromodulation therapy: a scoping review
Authors:   Department of Rehabilitation Science, The Hong Kong Polytechnic university, WU Jingyi , LI Jiaqi , Sidarta Ananda , Kwong Patrick Wai. Hang.
Published: May 2023

Background: Bimanual coordination deficits are one of the most common characteristics of people with stroke, which have an adverse influence on their independence of activities daily living and other occupational activities. Existing studies and reviews mainly focused on how to improve motor impairment of the affected limb and cortical activation and functional connectivity in the impaired brain hemisphere by a series of rehabilitation strategies, e.g., non-invasive brain stimulation and rehabilitation robotics. It should be noted that functional bilateral abilities are not a simple compound and a combination of one-handed skills. Therefore, the bimanual coordination dysfunctions still need to be explored and addressed in clinical practice. Better understandings of the neural mechanisms underlying bilateral cooperative tasks in healthy subjects and changes in neural activities in stroke patients help foster the development of effective rehabilitation strategies, such as TMS and tDCS, and enhance the bimanual coordination through stimulating altered cortical areas, which is essential for boosting the independence and quality of daily life in stroke individuals.

The Mass of the Black Hole in NGC 5273 from Stellar Dynamical Modeling
Authors: Merrell Katie A. , Vasiliev Eugene , Bentz Misty C. , Valluri Monica , Onken Christopher A.
Published: May 2023

We present a new constraint on the mass of the black hole in the active S0 galaxy NGC 5273. Due to the proximity of the galaxy at 16.6 ± 2.1 Mpc, we were able to resolve and extract the bulk motions of stars near the central black hole using adaptive-optics-assisted observations with the Gemini Near-infrared Integral Field Spectrograph, as well as constrain the large-scale kinematics using archival Spectroscopic Areal Unit for Research and Optical Nebulae spectroscopy. High-resolution Hubble Space Telescope imaging allowed us to generate a surface-brightness decomposition, determine approximate mass-to-light ratios for the bulge and disk, and obtain an estimate for the disk inclination. We constructed an extensive library of dynamical models using the Schwarzschild orbit-superposition code FORSTAND, exploring a range of disk and bulge shapes, halo masses, etc. We determined a black hole mass of M
• = [0.5–2] × 107
M
⊙, where the low side of the range is in agreement with the reverberation mapping measurement of M
• = [4.7 ± 1.6] × 106
M
⊙. NGC 5273 is one of the few nearby galaxies that hosts a broad-lined active galactic nucleus, allowing a crucial comparison of black hole masses derived from independent mass-measurement techniques.

High precision photometry with the space-based Kepler telescope offers an opportunity to analyze the physical processes occurring in stars in detail. In this study, we examined the light curve of the Kepler binary system KIC 3347485, which is a semi-detached binary system. We calculated minima and maxima times of four years of Kepler observation of this system using our newly developed Python code. We did period change analysis (O − C) of this system, and we discuss the existence of a possible third or even fourth component.
Nutritional profile of a novel artificial diet and the effect of photoperiod on the fitness parameters of rearedRuspolia differens

Published: May 2023

The tettigoniid,Ruspolia differens, is a widely consumed grasshopper across Sub Sahara Africa (SSA), mainly where periodic large swarms occur during the rainy months. The present wild harvesting of this grasshopper species is not sustainable and limits the yearlong presence of these delicacies. One method to circumvent this is developing mass-rearing technologies for this nocturnal and omnivorous insect within SSA. However, to mass-rear this species on a large scale, the optimal diets and light regimes need to be established. Complete nutritional profiles of edible insect diets are rare. In our study, using a newly formulated artificial diet we assessed multiple performance traits forR. differens reared at two light regimes. A complete dark (<1 h light, 5:95 L:D) and 50% light (~12 h light, 50:50 L:D) from newly hatched nymphs to death of the adults. Proximate composition of this novel artificial diet was carbohydrates: 53.5%, crude protein: 21.0%, ash: 7.0%, fat: 5.0%, crude fibre: 4.5%. All essential amino acids and mineral elements were also present. It took on average 8-9 moults to reach adults in the light-reared insects as opposed to 6-7 moults for those reared in the dark. Adult longevity in the dark-reared insects was also significantly longer (37±3.7 days) compared to the light-reared ones (10±3 days). These findings strongly support the nocturnal behaviour of these bush crickets and suggest rearing them in a predominantly dark environment would seem a profitable venture, as fewer energy demands in terms of lighting are required. Such a diet, when fully optimised will facilitate automation and reduce labour for feeding them in mass-rearing programs.

Authors: Naveen Kumar M. , Venkata Narayana M. , Immadi Govardhani , Satyanarayana P. , Navya Ambati
Published: May 2023

A dual-band google lens logo-based patch antenna with defected ground structure was designed at 5.3 GHz for wireless applications and 7.4 GHz for wi-fi application. The designed antenna consists of a rounded rectangular patch antenna with a partial ground structure fed by a 50 Ω microstrip line. A google lens shaped logo is subtracted from the rounded rectangular patch and some regular polygon shaped slots are subtracted from the ground plane to obtain good dual-band characteristics and better results in terms of gain, VSWR, and return loss. The proposed antenna has a measurement of 20 × 20 × 1.6 mm3 and provides wide impedance bandwidths of 0.23 GHz (5.17‒5.40 GHz) and 0.16 GHz (7.33–7.49 GHz) at center frequencies of 5.3 GHz and 7.4 GHz, respectively. The antenna was designed and simulated using an ANSYS Electronics Desktop. Fabrication of the antenna was obtained using chemical etching and the results were measured by using an MS2037C Anritsu combinational analyzer. The return loss characteristics for dual bands are -20.56 dB at 5.3 GHz and -19.17 dB at 7.4 GHz, respectively, with a VSWR < 2 at both the frequencies and a 4 dB gain is obtained.

Dynamical behavior of traveling waves in a generalized VP-mVP equation with non-homogeneous power law nonlinearity
Authors: Fan Feiting , Chen Xingwu
Published: May 2023

In this paper, we investigate the dynamical behavior of traveling waves for a generalized Vakhnenko-Parkes-modified Vakhnenko-Parkes (VP-mVP) equation with non-homogeneous power law nonlinearity. By the dynamical systems approach and the singular traveling wave theory, the existence of all possible bounded traveling wave solutions is discussed, including smooth solutions (solitary wave solutions, periodic wave solutions and breaking wave solutions) and non-smooth solutions (solitary cusp wave solutions and periodic cusp wave solutions). We not only obtain all the explicit parametric conditions for the existence of 5 kinds of bounded traveling wave solutions, but also give their exact explicit expressions. Moreover, we qualitatively analyze the dynamical behavior of these traveling waves by using the bifurcation of phase portraits under different parameter conditions, and strictly prove the evolution of different traveling waves with their exact expressions.

Published: May 2023

Abstract— The National Innovation System found that research in Jordan did not contribute sufficiently to economic growth and to solving real-world challenges, particularly those related to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). This was attributed to several reasons, including the inability of educational curricula to guide students in dealing with real-world issues. In addition, education in Jordan is content-intensive and primary school children lack the time to build functional competencies such as problem-solving. Therefore, it was necessary to adopt an approach allowing students to learn the theoretical content on their own while allocating class time to practice problem-solving activities with their teacher and peers. To address this gap, this study aimed at designing an engineering-based module for a flipped STEM classroom to aid grade seven students in developing their problem-solving abilities based on Merrill’s first principles of instruction as an instructional design model. To generate the module components and aspects, semi-structured interviews were performed with 9 subject matter experts. Then, 29 experts responded and offered a consensus on what was reached in the previous interview. A total of 36 items were discussed by the expert panel using the Likert 7-point scale in the fuzzy Delphi approach. The five-module aspects namely; the form of STEM integration, the assessment, the resources, and the pre-class and in-class instructional activities, were determined. This research will usher in a new era for the Ministry of Education. in planning and teaching integrated STEM disciplines in line with Jordan’s vision 2025 to equip all learners with 21st-century skills such as problem-solving to enhance education standards to international levels.
Determinant of Optimal and Inhibited Mobile Language Learning Activity
Authors: Byrne Jason
Published: May 2023

Learner analytic driven research concerned with mobile app learner survivability. An app was developed to indicate productiveness of quiz app usage for global mobile assisted language learning (MALL). The research focused on inhibiting and optimizing effects of level length on total questions answered. How many questions per level leads to the highest total unique questions being answered? The research focused on nine-day cohort timeframes and included three phases: a small-scale pilot study to establish parameters, an exploratory stage undertaken within the parameters and finally the use of a quadratic regression predictive model. The null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. A one-way analysis of variance found a statistically significant difference in the mean productivity of the lengths.  Results of a Tukey post hoc test (p < .05) suggests question sets with less than eight questions, or more than 15 questions, appear to inhibit MALL autonomous learning. Optimal level question sets appear to be between lengths 8-14. The results visually encapsulated by a quadratic regression model broadly support H1 and H2. Set 12 is the statistically most significant optimal load. Gains of up to 107% are reported for switching from suboptimal to optimal approaches.

Linking Organizational Stress and Burnout
Authors: Rua Orlando Lima , Amorim Vanessa , Lamas Maria Céu , de Sousa Lopes Bruno
Published: May 2023

Stress is a multidimensional and multifaceted phenomenon that reflects and conditions individual and organizational quality of life. However, given specific work contexts in which there are disproportionate demands, lack or reduced support from the organizational structure, dull treatment of employees, lack of recognition, and the existence of a conflictual environment, it leads to relatively high levels of organizational stress. In turn, burnout arises from the crisis in relationships with work. Its main manifestations are emotional and physical exhaustion, cynicism, and professional ineffectiveness, arising from feelings of exhaustion, energy depletion, increased apathy with work, reduced effectiveness, and negativism with the professional routine. In this follow-up, a bibliometric analysis between 1980 and 2022 was conducted to explore the most relevant authors, documents, and journals, the trends identified in the publications, and the collaborations between countries in the field of study.

Published: May 2023

One of the first questions that arises when one begins to study fundamentals of industrial safety management is “Who should be responsible when a worker is injured?” Many would answer, “The employer, because the employer gave rise to the job and will profit from the production.” Adversely, what if employees deliberately commit acts that result in their injury as a result of violation of the industry's rules and regulations? Industrial work environments are often characterized by dynamic resources including interactions between mobile equipment and pedestrian workers. The importance of providing safe workplace has been reiterated by various studies because of the intrinsic hazard and risk factors that undoubtedly underlie every work situation and their negative impact on a company's overall performance. Safety and quality remain critical priorities in the context of improving industrial productivity and efficiency in today's industrial work environment.

Os Jovens Baumann: paisagem, fabulação e imagem arqueológica
Authors: Couto Giancarlo , Freitas Gutfreind Cristiane
Published: May 2023

Este artigo propõe uma análise da narrativa e da imagem do longa-metragem Os Jovens Baumann, dirigido por Bruna Carvalho Almeida e lançado em 2019. O filme se desenvolve através do diálogo/choque de três elementos narrativos que se imbricam: a narração (fabulação), a imagem VHS dos found footage e a imagem em 16x9. O método de análise compreende os dois formatos de imagem utilizados no filme, bem como sua narração e diálogos. Acreditamos que, na obra, essa separação mostra que o processo de investigação através de camadas imagéticas (arqueológicas) e narrativas (fabulações) é mais importante do que a revelação do mistério em torno do desaparecimento dos jovens Baumann.
Entre o passado e o futuro: o Visconde de Taunay no limiar da República

Published: May 2023

A inauguração da República no Brasil instigou uma intensa produção letrada que acaba nos servindo como fonte importante para entender aquele contexto. Neste artigo, toma-se como foco a obra do Visconde de Taunay (1843-1899), a partir da análise de três publicações: Império e República (1933), Memórias (1948) e O encilhamento (1894). Partindo de tais textos, cuja crítica à novidade republicana era notória em contraposição à nostalgia pelo passado monárquico, demonstramos a aguçada percepção da temporalidade do escritor – como alguém que se percebia na transição entre dois tempos.
Development and assessment of psychometric properties of Model Medication Adherence (MMA) questionnaire to measure adherence to oral medication among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Perera S. , Abeysena C.
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Medication adherence among patients with type 2 diabetes (DM) is assessed in everyday clinical practice.
Objectives: To develop a questionnaire to measure adherence to oral medication among patients with DM and to assess its psychometric properties
Methods: The “Model Medication Adherence (MMA)” questionnaire was developed using the evidence from literature review and interviews with key stakeholders and patients. Answers were set on a five-point Likert scale that scored from 1 to 5, with 15-73 as the possible range of the total score. MMA was drafted in English and translated to Sinhala language by forward- backward translation. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among adult patients with type 2 DM who attended clinics in Gampaha District General Hospital (DGH). A sample of 150 patients was recruited consecutively. The construct validity of MMA was assessed by Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) through Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with Varimax rotation
Results: EFA yielded four factors; sick role behaviour, autonomy, forgetfulness, and barriers that explained 64.36% of the variance of the total score of MMA. Internal consistency was acceptable (Cronbach’s alpha 0.73). The testretest reliability coefficient was 0.85 (p=0.01). Acceptability of the MMA was established by non-response items (none) and the time taken to complete (20 minutes).
Conclusions & Recommendations: MMA is a simple valid questionnaire that adds a novel concept to the adherence literature; sick role and autonomy. It has a good factor structure with established construct validity and is recommended to be used in the clinical setting.

Background: The plant Viscum album (Mistletoe) is a known source of biologically active substances, used in traditional medicine in Europe and Asia.Aim: The goal was to study cytotoxic/cytostatic effect of mistletoe extract on tumour and normal cells and its influences on certain proteins of the blood coagulation system.Setting: Mistletoe was collected in Ukraine in November 2020.Methods: Water extract of V. album, both leaves and stems, was obtained and fractionated; it was characterised using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry and tested on cancer cells and blood plasma.Results: Extract demonstrated the presence of viscotoxins and carbohydrates and thermolabile compounds that enhance the activity of thrombin and factor X in plasma in the presence of calcium ions and increased the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) by 2.7 times. The cytotoxic/cytostatic action of the mistletoe fractions, the total extract and the fraction 10 000 Da were higher in relation to Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells than with Vero cells. The IC50 of total extract for LLC cells was 35% (p 0.05) lower than that for Vero cells (1.12 ± 0.2 and 1.71 ± 0.15 mg/ml). Thus, the IC50 of the fraction 10 000 Da for LLC cells was more than by 44% (p 0.05) lower than that for Vero cells (2.07 ± 0.26 and 3.67 ± 0.41 mg/ml).Conclusion: It was shown that both extracts exhibited a cytotoxic/cytostatic effect, more pronounced against tumour cells than normal cells and enhanced the clotting of blood plasma by thermolabile compounds by facilitating plasma coagulation.Contribution: This research makes it possible to study mistletoe as a light and cheap anticancer therapy plant and cure blood coagulopathy or construct antibleeding bandages.

Published: May 2023

Background: Physical, financial, social and emotional demands placed on caregivers caring for their children with severe intellectual disabilities (CWSID) could lead to high levels of burden.Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the potential level of burden experienced by South African caregivers and aimed to identify possible contributing risk factors for increased levels of caregiver burden.Setting: Online and community parent support groups.Methods: This quantitative survey design study utilised data from 218 South African caregivers of CWSID. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis. Family is the main support for 67% of participants.Results: Moderate to severe levels of caregiver burden were reported. No definite links between potentially contributing demographic risk factors and the overall level of caregiver burden were found. Caregivers of CWSID need to receive the required support from an early stage in the child’s diagnosis to decrease potential caregiver burden and improve quality of life (QoL).Conclusion: Implications on intervention and prevention practices could inform the creation and implementation of a protocol to avert increased caregiver burden. Future research could be conducted to determine the implications of intervention towards CWSID and their family to decrease caregiver burden.Contribution: The study provided insight into the burden experienced by caregivers of CWSID. This is in line with the journal as it further proves how vulnerable CWSID are and the support they should be receiving from professionals.
Investigating turnover intention in a financial organisation in Gauteng
Authors: Tshwane Gloria S. , Maleka Molefe J. , Tladi Portia M.
Published: May 2023

Orientation: Losing employees prompts organisational competitiveness, which leads to increased financial organisation costs related to talent acquisition.Research purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between authentic leadership and turnover intention and establish whether job satisfaction mediated the relationship between authentic leadership and turnover intention. Additionally, this study endeavoured to establish if the relation between authentic leadership, job satisfaction, and turnover intention is higher among post-Grade 12 employees than those with Grade 12 and lower qualifications.Motivation for the study: There is limited research in the Gauteng financial sector concerning how job satisfaction is mediated and how education has diminished the relationship between authentic leadership and alleviating turnover intention.Research approach/design and method: This study was influenced by the positivism paradigm and was quantitative, using an online survey to collect the data. The final sample consisted of 85 respondents.Main findings: It was also established that authentic leadership did not significantly relate to turnover intention, while job satisfaction was a mediator between authentic leadership and turnover intention.Practical/managerial implications: The significance of the study is that when employees are satisfied with leadership support, they provide honest and truthful feedback. This is especially true when employees work in an inclusive and harmonious work environment; thus, their turnover intention diminishes. This is very positive for finance organisations, which will incur talent acquisition costs as intention does not result in resignation.Contribution/added value: This study developed a framework on how authentic leadership and job satisfaction indicators can diminish turnover intention.

Women lead differently than men. In order for them to be able to lead sustainably as leaders, it is necessary to reflect on typical female traits. In doing so, the way of typical female leadership, which is biologically anchored, should be taken into account. The aim should be to deal with them appropriately and fairly so that they themselves can lead sustainably. The biological requirements in women are centered on community, relationships, social skills, and communication. These findings are reflected in psychology and linguistics and are also evident when women are described as leaders. Three examples from practice corroborate the findings and show the necessity to understand diversity as an opportunity, to regard female leaders as ‘normal’, to convey appreciation for their typical leadership style just as much as it is appreciated as for male leadership and to deal with female images of leadership and to enthrone female leaders.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The article is interdisciplinary in that it combines insights from biology, psychology, linguist and management theory.
God is my inheritance: The voice of the woman in Psalm 16
Authors: Barus Armand
Published: May 2023

Differing with most scholars Psalm 16 was a personal lament Psalm voiced by a woman, with the central theme being, God is the portion of my inheritance. The concluding statement was revealed to us through the use of poetic criticism on Psalm 16. Poetic criticism is a new method of reading lament Psalms through the careful observation of elements contained in the lament Psalms, such as lament, feeling, the concept of God and mood of the text. The application of poetic criticism on Psalm 16 by studying the elements of the lament, feeling, concept of God, and changes of mood, has shown us that the psalmist successfully faced the struggles of life when she lost her husband and as a result, her inheritance, because God is her inheritance. In and through her suffering the psalmist was able to know God as her portion of inheritance.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: This research helps the readers understand the involvement of women in arranging the Psalms in the spiritual lives of Israel and Psalms can be studied now from feminist perspective.
Promoción turística a través del sector audiovisual. El caso de Canarias
Authors: Sandoval Martín María Teresa
Published: May 2023

El cine ha posibilitado desde su nacimiento, en 1895, la divulgación por todo el mundo de imágenes de los lugares más célebres y remotos del planeta. En España, principalmente durante la dictadura de Primo de Rivera, la producción de filmes por provincias iría en incremento. Concretamente en Canarias, por aquel entonces, comenzaba a tomarse conciencia del poder que tenía la gran pantalla como medio de promoción turística. Pero no existió el suficiente apoyo institucional, por lo que serían los documentales realizados por empresas privadas -en su mayoría foráneas- los que contribuirían a difundir las primeras imágenes de estas islas en el exterior.

Las películas de ficción y los documentales antiguos no siempre ofrecieron un retrato positivo del archipiélago, al igual que ocurriría mucho más tarde con algunos reportajes y programas difundidos por televisión, aunque estos son sólo casos aislados. La mayoría de las veces su aportación a la promoción de Canarias ha sido significativa. Destacan, sobre todo, las películas de argumento (cinematográficas y televisuales de directores de diferentes nacionalidades) que situaban la acción real en las islas y en las que se narraban historias protagonizadas por grupos de veraneantes. No obstante, la mayor parte de los largometrajes más famosos internacionalmente utilizaron las variadas localizaciones de este territorio para representar otros lugares. Aún así, la publicación de artículos en la prensa extranjera sobre el desarrollo de los rodajes favorecería la divulgación de sus singularidades.

Además de este tipo de promoción indirecta, las instituciones canarias han venido realizando desde principios de la década de los noventa originales campañas de promoción a través del sector audiovisual de demostrada eficacia. Asimismo, la calidad de las producciones cinematográficas realizadas por canarios en los últimos años ha posibilitado que hayan sido seleccionadas en numerosos festivales donde se les ha otorgado premios, favoreciendo la comercialización e exhibición de estos productos fuera sus fronteras.
Dimensión social de la publicidad exterior
Authors: Pacheco Rueda Marta
Published: May 2023

La publicidad exterior moderna nace en España a principios de los años 60, en un período en que desde el gobierno se acomete una serie de iniciativas tendentes a reactivar la economía del país. La incipiente apertura económica no es desaprovechada por grandes firmas internacionales que aumentan sus inversiones e introducen en el mercado español productos con una larga tradición de consumo en los países occidentales industrializados. Se produce el asentamiento definitivo de las agencias multinacionales de publicidad, de procedencia norteamericana sobre todo, que traen consigo técnicas que responden a una filosofía de marketing, término que si en aquel momento resulta un tanto extraño, con el paso de los años se convierte en un vocablo de uso extendido.
Implication of Mathematical tools to Teachers’ Method of Teaching High School Mathematics: The case of Mekelle Zone, Tigray, Ethiopia
Authors: Tesfay Tsegay , Tesfay Abreha , Bayrau Tsge
Published: May 2023

Education with science and mathematics as its major components determines the level of welfare of people and a nation. Nowadays, great attention is given to technological advancements and mathematics education. Hence, this paper explicitly discusses the use of mathematics laboratories and their implication for teaching mathematics, finding out the practices and impact on teaching mathematics and teachers’ frequency of using teaching aids (manipulatives) in high schools of Mekelle zone. Manipulatives are valuable aid to teachers that can be used by analyzing students’ concrete representations of mathematical concepts. In addition to this, topics like geometry and measurement are topics that are frequently taught using tools. On the contrary, solving equations, relations, and functions is rarely taught using these manipulatives. This study indicates that there is no direct correlation between teachers’ teaching experience years and the use of manipulatives in their classrooms. It is, therefore, recommended that mathematics teachers should get training and workshops on the use of teaching aids (manipulatives), useful software like (geogebra, sketchpad, and other timely used technologies) and other methods of teaching mathematics in mathematics laboratories.

Published: May 2023

This study aimed to acknowledge the effect of linen management on the health and safety of laundry workers at ‘X’ Hospital in Bandung. The method of this research was a quantitative research method with a descriptive approach. Data collection was carried out by means of field observations, questionnaires, literature studies and internet browsing. The results showed that the effect of linen management on the safety and health of laundry workers was 37.5%, while 62.5% of the effect was influenced by other independent variables which were not included in this study. In the hypothesis test conducted by the author, the results of the t test were 3.549, which means t count > t table (3.549 > 2.776) so that there is a positive and significant influence between linen management and the health and safety of laundry workers at Muhammadiyah Bandung Hospital. The research found the following problems: 1) poor coordination with the nursing department so that errors still often occur in sorting linen, 2) lack of adherence to procedures, especially personal protective equipment so that it can cause washing workers to be exposed to chemical fluids, and 3) the process of recording all incidents or potential accidents do not go well in the laundry unit. The suggestions given to fix the problem are: 1) to improve communication with other units, 2) to carry out a level of supervision regarding compliance with standard operating procedures and personal protective equipment (PPE), and 3) to record all things that may become potential accidents in the report.
