Authors: Mody Shefali , Nadkarni Soham , Vats Shreyash , Kumar Akshay , Nandavaram Sravanthi , Keshavamurthy Suresh
Published: November 2023

The shortage of donor lungs for transplantation is a major challenge, resulting in longer waitlist times for patients with a higher risk of waitlist mortality. It is crucial to continue promoting awareness about organ donation through legislation, public campaigns, and health care provider education. Only a small number of cadaveric donors meet the ideal criteria for lung donation, leaving many lungs unused. Donor lung utilization can be improved by carefully considering the extended-criteria donors, actively participating in donor management, and by utilizing the modalities to assess and manage the marginal lungs after retrieval from the donor. The purpose of this article is to provide an up-to-date review of donor selection, assessment of donor lungs, and donor lung management to enhance organ recovery rates for lung transplantation.

Authors: Nguyen Van Thong , Nguyen Trung Cang , Ho Bich Nhu
Published: November 2023

In this article, we present a case study of four Vietnamese teachers of English in a Community College working in a Lesson Study group that prepared them for teacher development in teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). Qualitative data from interview, reflective writing and observation were analyzed during the researched lessons. By conducting Lesson Study, the teachers indicated they were fully aware of the important roles of Lesson Study in their professional development strategies. They declaimed Lesson Study, involving a small group of educators collaboratively designing, teaching, and refining a single lesson could provide a platform for mutual learning, collaboratively designing more effective lesson plans which focus on learning goals, and rendering timid teachers more confident in having their teaching observed by colleagues. However, some constraints faced by the teachers were identified, which may undermine the gains of Lesson Study.

Authors: Samosir Elisabet Marthawati
Published: November 2023

The communication system in the view of Niklas Luhmann is an orientation between systems in an environment to respond to complexity in an environment. Initially Rumah Belajar Sianjur Mulamula as an environment formed a communication system as a response of various systems to the complexity that occurred. The system formed is in accordance with the quintuple helix, namely the education system, economic system, natural environment system, culture-based and media based society system, and political system. The systems that respond most actively are the education system and the economic system. The complexity in the Rumah Belajar Sianjur Mulamula, at first, can be seen from the main conflict that arose due to the shift in the main value of the learning house, namely the educational system to become the interests of the economic system. The complexity is getting higher due to other systems not responding to balance the communication system. This study is a qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The theory used is Niklas Luhmann's system theory. To obtain data, researchers conducted interviews by participant observation.

О поверке, калибровке приборов, аттестации методик и достоверности результатов химико-­аналитических измерений
Authors: Крылов А.И. , Лазаренко Е.Р.
Published: November 2023

Основные пути достижения достоверности (единства) результатов измерений, согласно существующим регламентам, связаны, в основном, с поверкой приборов, их калибровкой или воспроизведением метрологически аттестованных методик измерений. В части, касающейся измерений количества вещества, не всегда традиционные подходы являются оптимальными. Так, для специфических анализаторов, ряда электрохимических приборов и т. п. выполнение поверки является вполне оправданным и необходимым элементом получения достоверных результатов измерений. При воспроизведении (или разработке) методик, реализуемых на «универсальных» приборах, в первую очередь, речь должна идти о построении градуировочных характеристик (специфичных для каждого конкретного вещества), соблюдении режимов пробоподготовки и т. п. В этом случае целесообразность выполнения поверки прибора становится по крайней мере сомнительной. На получение адекватных результатов в большей мере влияют наличие и применение соответствующих средств градуировки: стандартных образцов – СО (чистые вещества или их растворы), средств контроля полученных данных – СО «матричного» типа, а также аттестованных методик измерений. Таким образом, в области химико-­аналитических измерений возникает необходимость пересмотра перечня приборов, подлежащих обязательной поверке, и одновременно целесообразность более активного развития направления работ по существенному расширению списка СО, включая СО матричного типа.

Forgery Detection on Handwritten Signatures using Convolutional Neural Networks
Authors: Pradhan Anshika
Published: November 2023

Abstract: Handwritten signatures play a significant part in numerous parts of our day-to-day events and aid in authenticating our personal information all over the world from banks to many government and private institutions. On the other hand, the usage of these handwritten signatures is accompanied by the problems of signature replication, counterfeit signatures and identity theft by both professional and amateur people alike. And so, there is a need for a system to help in differentiating and isolating the real signatures from their copied lookalikes but this task turns out to be really challenging. In recent years, there have been lots of advances in the field of Deep Learning, which is increasingly becoming a part of daily lives. One such deep learning technique called Convolutional Neural Networks, is an interesting tool for analysing pictures and other types of data. This method could be applied to detect and analyse handwritten signatures taken as inputs in order to classify if it is original or forged.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Shin Eun Sun
Published: November 2023

Objectives This study was attempted to apply a positive reinforcement personality program for nursing students and to verify its effects on care, defense mechanisms, empathy ability and emotional intelligence.
Methods This positive reinforcement character program was developed based on positive psychological reflection on character education and character education based on Seligman's(2011) positive psychology theory, and was provided as an 8-session program once a week. Data collection was from October 17 to December 9, 2022, and the study subjects were first-year nursing students at two four-year universities located in the region, with a total of 44 people, 22 in the experimental group and 22 in the control group. Data collected in a quasi-experiment with a non-equivalent control group before and after design were analyzed using SPSS 26.0.
Results The positive reinforcement personality program significantly differed in nursing students' care(t=2.73, p=.013), empathy ability(t=3.87, p=.000), and emotional intelligence(t=-2.56, p=.012). However, the defense mech-anism sub-domains were immature(t=2.35, p=.076), mature(t=1.57, p=.136), self-inhibitory(t=2.96, p=.068), con-flict avoidant(t=-1.83, p=.152) there appeared to be no significant difference in any of the defense mechanisms.
Conclusions Since this program can be an effective intervention to improve nursing students' care, empathy abil-ity, and emotional intelligence, it is thought that it can be used as basic data to prepare a plan to vitalize personality education of nursing students and develop a personality education program.

The Impact of Reflective E-Journaling on Korean Adult EFL Learners’ English Anxiety and Course Achievement
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Pyo Si-Yeon
Published: November 2023

Objectives This study explores the potential impact of online reflective journaling on English anxiety and academic achievement among Korean adult EFL learners in an online English course. It aims to investigate whether con-sistent engaging in reflective e-journaling can act as a mediator to help overcome vague anxiety related to English learning by reflecting on their learning processes, leading a positive effect on course achievement.
Methods This study involved 148 participants who took “Basic English Reading for Graduate School Students in Professional Studies” in a 15-week online course. Data was collected from students’ weekly e-journaling, the FLCAS survey, and their final exam scores, using a mixed-methods approach.
Results The results revealed that high achievers in course achievement exhibited higher levels of anxiety, while the reverse was not observed. While there was a positive correlation between achievement and anxiety levels, there were no significant differences in course achievement across anxiety levels. High levels of English anxiety were associated with more frequent reflective journaling, promoting learning process awareness and academic performance. It was reported that sharing journals on the LMS board facilitates students interaction, motivating active engagement.
Conclusions This study demonstrated that even high-achieving students can experience elevated levels of English anxiety, and poor academic performance is not solely attributed to heightened anxiety levels, refuting the conventional concept of English anxiety. The findings of the current study suggest that facilitative anxiety prompts consistent engagement in reflective journaling, which enhances meta-cognition of one’s learning process, thus serving as a mediator for improving academic performance.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Choi Su Nam
Published: November 2023

Objectives This study was conducted for the purpose of improving gymnastic function by dividing the movement into 4 phases and 3 sections targeting 2 groups of 5 people for the purpose of successful performance during the gymnastic jumping frame jump movement.
Methods In the experiments of this study, time factors, hand positions, stride length, and angle variables were compared by group through a motion analysis program.
Results Frst, the time required to perform the movement was long in the successful group due to the upward movement of the center of the body and the upward change in flight time required to stably cross the jumping frame. Second, the vertical height of the center of the body was higher in the successful group in the phase of placing hands on the jumping frame (E3), resulting in an increase in flight time. showed low results. Third, in order to raise the upper body and successfully cross the vault, the head, elbow, and body angles were greatly extended in the successful group. In order to increase the ground reaction force and improve the vertical speed in the suc-cessful group, the knee angle showed a larger flexion result. Fourth, the successful group showed a relatively large step length corresponding to the horizontal distance in the direction of movement. This is considered to be a factor necessary for performing a motion in which no part of the body touches the jumping frame.
Conclusions For a successful vaulting jump, you must stare straight ahead, stamp your feet, and reach your hands farther away to touch the front of the back of the hoop. While pushing your hands on the jumping frame, raise your upper body, and at this time, make your hips and upper body connected to the body horizontal. You have to jump over the hoop with your knees extended and your legs spread, and you must perform a successful motion that reduces the amount of impact by slightly bending your knees as you land.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Hanseo , Kim Jungsub
Published: November 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the intervention effects of executive function training pro-grams by systematically analyzing the characteristics and results of executive function improvement training for elderly people without neurological diseases or diseases.
Methods Using Web of Science, CINAHL, PubMed, and RISS electronic databases, literature published in foreign academic journals over the 10 years from 2013 to 2023 was analyzed for “executive functions,” “cognitive inter-vention,” “cognitive training,” “older adult,” The final 15 papers were selected by combining the search term “elderly”. To conduct a systematic literature review, literature was selected based on PICOTS-SD, the quality level of the literature was evaluated using the PEDro Scale, and the PRISMA systematic literature review reporting guidelines were applied to develop an executive function improvement training program for elderly people without neuro-logical diseases. Specific content and training results were derived.
Results The average PEDro Scale score of the selected studies was 8.2 points, falling into the ‘good’ category. As a result of analyzing the intervention effect of executive function training, the training time per session was 30 minutes, 3 times a week, and the training period was 12 weeks, and the measurement tool for the inhibition area was the Stroop test, and the working memory area was the DSF and DSB and cognitive flexibility domains had the highest frequency of use of TMT-B. Significant improvements were found in 7 out of 10 studies measuring the inhibition domain, all 13 studies measuring working memory, and 8 out of 12 studies measuring the cognitive flex-ibility domain.
Conclusions Through this study, we were able to confirm that the areas of inhibition, working memory, and cogni-tive flexibility could be improved when an executive function improvement training program was implemented for elderly people without neurological diseases or diseases, but the areas of executive function where training was performed It is also necessary to consider whether the measurement area matches to determine the training effect. Intervention type and content, intervention time, session and intervention period, outcome measurement tools and intervention results, etc. through analysis of overseas executive function training intervention research can provide a basis for developing executive function improvement programs.

Published: November 2023

Objectives This study attempted to analyze the policy-making process of reorganizing the 2022 college admis-sion system by applying the perspective of complex system theory and derive implications.
Methods To this end, the analysis framework was devised by reviewing complex system theories and concepts, and the literature on the policy-making process of reorganizing the 2022 college admission system was analyzed, and the characteristics of the complex system were examined by dividing the policy-making process into four stages.
Results As a result of the analysis, the Ministry of Education's reform plan for the 2021 school year due to the launch of the government led to nonlinearity, which is an unstable situation of deferring the reorganization of the college entrance examination. Through the critical point of transferring the reform plan to the newly established National Education Council, the result of public debate, deliberation and feedback through various interactions were repeated, and a new order, the reform plan for the 2022 college entrance examination system, was announced. Since then, a new, partially self-organized order has emerged as a way to strengthen fairness in the college en-trance system.
Conclusions The 2022 college entrance system reform policy decision process showed the characteristics and processes of the complex system, and suggested the need for continuous management of feedback and feed-back for future policy development.

Authors: Saifuddin Ahmad , Putri Lintang Seira , Sari Hellenna Kartika
Published: November 2023

Mental health has an important value in life. However, some people experience adversities that affect their psychological conditions, e.g., stress, depression, less happiness, and less psychologically prosperous. One solution to these psychological problems is to increase the attitude of qana’ah/contentment (accepting and being satisfied with what they have). It calls for good qana’ah instrument as the variable has been found to be able to moderate adverse psychological conditions. This study aimed to test the validity and reliability of the qana’ah instrument. The sampling method used was the area random sampling approach. The characteristics of the study samples were male and female, aged 11 to 65 years (from adolescents to the elderly), and come from every province in Indonesia. The sample of the test measuring instrument was obtained by 677 people. The results of the content validity test using the Aiken’s formula show that each item in the measuring instrument has a validity coefficient between 0.79 – 0.92. The estimated reliability coefficient of Alpha Cronbach is 0.992. After eliminating four items that had an item discrimination index of less than 0.300, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis was carried out. The research also found that the item discrimination index ranged from 0.586 to 0.979. Based on calculations using CFA, the CFI (Comparative Fit Index) is 0.987 (>0.900); GFI (Goodness Fit Index) is 0.925 (>0.900); AGFI (Adjusted Goodness of Fit) is 0.914 (>0.900); NFI (Normed Fit Index) is 0.942 (>0.900); and the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation or RMSEA is 0.0197 (<0.08). Factor loading of each item is also above 0.450/range from 0.463 to 0.875. The results of this study indicate that the measuring instrument is a valid and reliable measurement instrument. In addition, this qana’ah measurement tool is also universal because of the sampling method, so it can be used to measure the level of qana’ah in Indonesian people.

Authors: Escobar Divine Grace C. , Perez Jeannie A.
Published: November 2023

It is not uncommon to find that many creative people are anxious and ruminative. This research investigated the association between two types of rumination (brooding and reflection) and creativity and the mediating role of anxiety in a general population. One hundred thirty-five Filipino adults participated in the study, whose ages ranged from 18 to 53 years old. The respondents were recruited online using the chain referral technique. A cross-sectional quantitative method was utilized in this study. Three assessment tools were used in facilitating the online data collection namely, Rumination Response Scale – Short Form, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Runco Ideational Behavior Scale (RIBS). Mediation analyses were performed using the General Linear Model technique in the Jamovi Advance Mediation Models package of the Jamovi software to test the hypotheses of the study. The results showed a positive association between the two types of rumination and creativity. Anxiety also showed a significant positive association with creativity and was a significant mediator between the two types of rumination and creativity. The findings added a new contribution to the existing body of knowledge about the mediating role of anxiety between rumination and creativity. Implications for counseling were offered where rumination and anxiety could be tapped as psychological resources to improve creativity. Future research directions were also offered.

Authors: da Costa Serra Kassio , Khan Alamzeb , Fernandes Raquel Maria , Vazquez Pedro Antonio , Khan Alamgir
Published: November 2023

In order to extract meaningful interpretation from the large data and provide their value to the application areas, chemical data analysis has become a serious challenge in the development and applications of new protocols, technique and methodologies for the mathematical modelling communities and other data science societies. Therefore, in the present work a rapid and robust box-and-whisker plot and multivariate principal component statistical techniques (PCA) are being proposed for the evaluations of the thermodynamic molecular properties data of the benign fuel structures. We observed that, the box-and-whisker plot technique successfully explored all of the thermochemical molecular properties precisely, and described symmetrical distribution of the data along the median values with respect to the rise in temperature. Moreover, applying the PCA technique, the score-plots of PCs diagnosed the peculiar molecular properties variations after a certain peak of temperature with descendant variation in the statistical parameters. Furthermore, PCA parameters not only segregated the thermodynamic properties of propanol and butanol but also, their variations with the temperature. Thus, we concluded that, Box-whisker and PCA statistical techniques are robust and rapid method for the assessment and evaluation of the large molecular thermodynamic quantities data.

Authors: Koyuncu Hülya , Kul Ali
Published: November 2023

Since thymol blue (TB), crystal violet (CV) and rhodamine B (RB) are frequently used in various industries, they cause environmental pollution owing to the wastewater treatment process. The current study focused on the removal of TB, CV and RB from aqueous media with lichen-derived activated carbon (LDAC) and comparing their adsorption behavior. The maximum Langmuir adsorption capacity for TB, CV and RB was found to be 400, 213 and 345 mg g-1, respectively. The removal (%) of TB, CV and RB was found to be 86.38, 79.02 and 82.73 % at the same conditions, respectively. Experimental data were interpreted with some commonly used kinetic and isotherm models. Calculated activation energies, D-R model energies, enthalpy changes and evaluation of FT-IR, XRD and SEM/EDX images taken before and after dye loading showed that the adsorption of TB, CV and RB on the LDAC are physical processes. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model better described the adsorption behavior of TB, CV and RB on the LDAC. The boundary layer thickness value for all the dyes studied increased with increasing initial dye concentration and temperature, and CV also had a larger boundary layer thickness value than that of TB and RB.
Intimate partner violence in Germany before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: A gender perspective
Authors: Haverkamp Rita , Hohendorf Ines
Published: November 2023

The article discusses intimate partner violence (IPV) before and during the
COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the extent to which victimization has
changed. International studies on IPV have attributed victimization to the
social character of the sexes, with an explicit analysis of gender
attitudes, beliefs and gender roles. Consistent with this international
approach, the gender attitudes of individuals are used to examine the link
between social character and victimization. The study draws on a sample of
mainly young adults as the empirical basis for a quantitative analysis
conducted at a German University in the spring of 2021. The article explores
the extent to which gender stereotypes occur, their impact on the likelihood
of victimization and how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected IPV and role
models.
“My happiness turned into sadness”: Intersectional analysis proposal on gender violence in the first dating relationships
Authors: Pérez Jiménez , Panadero Rosa
Published: November 2023

Using the intersectional feminist proposal as a conceptual tool, this study
analyses the experiences of young women who have suffered abuse from the
beginning of the dating relationship and who have remained in the
relationship for several years. The aim is to bring to light in a
differentiated way the identities that converge in these young women and
that, analyzed separately, favour a more elaborate and profound analysis of
these experiences. The in-depth interviews have been the vehicle to get to
know these experiences and the results show how being a woman, being young,
and being a partner are identities that in a differentiated way are revealed
as sustaining violence. Capturing these contrasts makes it possible to avoid
a simplistic and generalizing analysis of all women victims, allowing for a
more singular and specific understanding of this concrete reality.

The Influence of Permeability Anisotropy on Reservoir Simulation Model Behaviour in Oil Fields
Authors: IP Kamensky
Published: November 2023

With a geological and dynamic model of the hydrocarbon field, adapted to historical exploitation data, petroleum engineers can gain invaluable insights into the current situation and evaluate proposed solutions with great effectiveness. This resource is highly beneficial, providing invaluable insights that can result in favourable results. Therefore, in order to obtain reliable results, it is very important to build a reservoir model, taking into account their geological features. One of these features can be considered anisotropy of permeability. This is very important when it comes to low porosity and permeability reservoirs, which oil and gas companies are actively developing. The goal of this study was to assess how permeability anisotropy impacts the performance of a hydrodynamic model for a productive reservoir in an oil field. This study involves creating a field model and performing hydrodynamic calculations. This includes using field data to determine a close-to-real value for permeability anisotropy, optimizing an existing development system, and analyzing development maps. As a result of the study, it was found that the omission of permeability anisotropy leads to an overestimation of the accumulated field development indicators. It was found that an increase in the value of anisotropy does not always lead to an increase in cumulative oil production, which undoubtedly emphasizes the peculiarity of the geological structure of the reservoir. In the final stage, a hydrodynamic calculation of the development was performed for 15 years, allowing conclusions to be reached about the correctness of applying operations to enhance oil recovery (EOR).
Completion Design in Petroleum Well with Two Different Reservoirs
Authors: NN Kibanya
Published: November 2023

This paper proposes an economical and profitable completion method capable of producing in two different reservoirs of a well named "X" (for confidential reasons) in a single descent. The data used are pressure, volume and temperature (PVT), reservoir properties, well architecture, and drilling data. To achieve the desired objective, it is necessary to make the selection of materials, the operating pressures and temperatures, the choice of the appropriate completion design, the installation procedure, the nodal analysis, and finally, the economic balance sheet. Two completions of well X are considered; known as the single string completion, and the dual completion. The oil production flow rate of the well X after the single string completion is 5964.11 STB/D and the cost of equipment used for the single string completion design are 137,500 $. The oil production flow rate of the well X after the dual completion is 5700 STB/D and the cost of equipment used for the double completion design is 147,600 $. The appropriate completion for well X is the single string completion because it is less expensive and performs better in terms of gain and oil flow rate produced. The results obtained are hydrogenated nitrile (HNBR) as a sealing element, 258°F and 5500 PSI as pressure and operating temperature for the design of the single string completion. And the most appropriate type of design is the annular tubing completion. In this field named "Y" (for confidential reasons), the design of single string completion is made with the tubing of 3-1/2", weight of 10.2 ppf, a range of 30 ft and a hydro trip sup of 3-1/2". The financial component shows a return on investment from one year eight months.
Prediction of Vapor Liquid Equilibrium of Binary CO2-Contained Mixtures for Carbon Capture and Sequestration using Artificial Intelligence
Authors: S Rostami
Published: November 2023

This research provides a comprehensive prediction using machine learning to predict vapor-liquid-equilibrium for CO2 - contained binary mixtures for carbon capture and sequestration projects. One of the best practices to lower the CO2 emissions in the atmosphere is Carbon Capture and Sequestration including capturing carbon dioxide from atmosphere and injecting it into the underground geological formations. One of the key elements in a successful project is to accurately model the phase equilibria which provides us on how the fluid or mixtures of the injected fluids will behave in certain pressures and temperatures underground. In this regard, different machine learning models have been implemented for the prediction. The data set consists experimental results of five different binary mixtures with CO2 presents in all of them. Then the results were compared to each other and the one with the highest accuracy was selected for each mixture. Peng Robinson equation of state was also used and compared with machine learning results. Finally, both machine learning and thermodynamic models were compared to experimental results to determine the accuracy. It was found out that thermodynamic model was unable to predict results for many data points while machine learning could predict results for most of the data points. Also, the accuracy of machine learning models was greatly better than thermodynamic model. In this research, a large data set including 748 data points is used on which machine learning models can be trained more accurate. Also, as a single machine learning model cannot predict accurate results for all mixtures, several models have been run on each mixture, and the one with the highest accuracy was selected for each CO2 -contained binary mixture which to our knowledge, has been never implemented.
