Published: November 2023

Objective: Quality of life is an encompassing term dealing with multiple aspects of life, including physical, social, environmental & psychological domains. It is a measurement of the gap between what people wish to have & what they possess. The objectives were to assess the quality of life among medical & nursing students and evaluate the association of various demographic factors with the quality of life. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out at the Department of Community Medicine, Wah Medical College and Institute of Nursing, Wah Cantt, from January 2022 to June 2022. Methods: The study was conducted on 282 students; 188 medical and 94 nursing students, selected by applying systematic random and convenient sampling techniques respectively. A pre-tested questionnaire, including demographic information and questions related to the quality of life-based on the English version of WHOQOL-BREF, was used for data collection. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 23; frequencies and percentages of categorical variables were calculated. The mean scores of items within each domain were used to calculate the domain's score. To measure better scores in different domains, the percent score of each domain was calculated. The higher scores indicate a higher quality of life. An independent sample t-test was used to assess the association of factors like gender, age group, and place of living with the quality of life. The Pvalue of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The score of the environmental domain was reported highest, followed by the physical, psychological, and social domains. The students living with their families had a better quality of life than the hostelites, P value of 0.009. Conclusion: It is ascertained that the quality of life of medical and nursing students is above average. Gender difference has no effect, but living with families favors a better quality of life among students.

Authors: Parveen Shagufta , Waqar Saad
Published: November 2023

Objective: To evaluate the decision to delivery interval (DDI) of category-1 and category-2 emergency caesarean section (ECS) and its effect on neonatal and maternal outcomes.Study Design: Cross-sectional study.Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out at Combine Military Hospital (CMH), Kharian, Pakistan from February 2022 to February 2023.Methods: Data from 332 patients who underwent emergency caesarean section (ECS) at a tertiary care hospital were collected on a structured proforma and analyzed. Feto-maternal outcomes were dependent, and time to decision to delivery interval were independent variables.Results: Out of 332 ECS, 126 were Category 1, and 206 were category 2. The percentages of emergency caesarean section (ECS) done within the recommended DDI were 39.5% for category 1 and 20.5% for category 2. The median (IQR) of DDI was 45 (37–54) min and 90 (75–98) min for category 1 and category 2. Eclampsia, fetal distress and failed progress of labor were the most typical indications. In both types, there was no statistically significant poor neonatal outcome related to APGAR at 1 min and 5 min. Delays were associated with more cases of post-operative fever 74 (36) and 22(13.3) in category 2 than in category 1 ECS.Conclusion: Our study found delays in the decision-to-delivery interval (DDI) for both category 1 and category 2 emergency Caesarean sections. However, no statistically significant association was found between neonatal and maternal outcomes.

Authors: Minhaj Nayab , Ahmed Roohi , Shah Qasim
Published: November 2023

This comparative research debates a magnified role of human capital development in selected developed, developing economies and less developing economies, including Pakistan. Between 1990 and 2019, two-panel data analysis techniques were employed, one classical and the other Bayesian. The key objective of this study was to investigate the impact of human capital development on economic growth, and also suggest the best statistical techniques for developing an appropriate model. GDP is the dependent variable, whereas the independent variables are human capital, physical capital, physical and human capital growth, health expenditure, education spending, and life expectancy rate. For the optimal model, both Bayesian and classical approaches were used to analyze the appropriate model. Empirical evidence has shown that human capital is the most important factor and is directly correlated with growth in any economy Furthermore, the findings suggested that Bayesian techniques produce more appropriate models for policy implications than classical techniques.

Authors: Indriyani Vivi , Kurniawati Eni , Ramadhan Ary
Published: November 2023

One of the digital technologies that is developing in the world of education is digital teaching materials to support learning. These teaching materials are useful for assisting the learning process and facilitating students with different learning styles. However, current teaching materials are still dominated by printed teaching materials, so innovation in learning is necessary. Based on this, the aim of this research is to determine teachers' responses and views regarding the development of digital teaching materials in Indonesian language learning in secondary schools. This research is descriptive research using survey methods. The population of this study consisted of Indonesian language teachers in West Sumatra who taught at the secondary school level. The sample for this research was 118 teachers. In this research, samples were taken from the population using purposive sampling. The instrument used was a questionnaire. The instrument was developed via the Google Form application and distributed using the WhatsApp application media. The results of the research show that the teaching materials currently used by teachers are in accordance with student characteristics, are contextual and support language skills learning and are project-based. However, these teaching materials still need to be developed and simplified because students still have difficulty understanding the available material. Apart from that, the teaching materials are also not yet interactive and contain learning videos that can facilitate students' different learning styles. Furthermore, the P5 project in Indonesian textbooks is still limited and needs further development.

Behavior of Residuals in Cook’s Distance for Beta Ridge Regression Model (BRRM)
Authors: Khan Javaria Ahmad , Akbar Atif , Kibria B. M. Golam
Published: November 2023

Beta ridge regression is used to tackle the sensitivity of maximum likelihood estimation when regressors are linearly correlated in Beta generalized linear model. Cook’s distance is one of the renowned and classic tools for detection of outliers. In this article, we propose to use Cook’s distance with different residuals in the Beta ridge regression model. Simulated and real data are provided for illustration purposes. It has been observed that a class of weighted residuals performs better in outliers’ detection but there is no impact of small or large shrinkage parameter on detection.
Genetic Algorithm-Based Optimization Approach for Solving a Class of Inverse Problems with Tikhonov Regularization
Authors: Daoudi Jamal , Tajani Chakir
Published: November 2023

In this paper, we are interested in solving the data completion problem for the Laplace equation. It consists to determine the missing data on the inaccessible part of the boundary from overspecified conditions in the accessible part. Knowing that this problem is severely ill-posed, we consider its formulation as an optimization problem using Tikhonov regularization. Then, we consider an optimization approach based on adapted Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) to minimize the cost function and recover the missing data. The performed numerical simulations, with different domains, illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method with an adequate regularization parameter, in addition to the good agreement between the numerical solutions and different noise level of the given data.
Artificial intelligence challenging core State functions
Authors: Rangone Nicoletta
Published: November 2023

The use of AI in the public sector is emerging around the world and its spread affects the core States functions: the administrative, the judiciary, and the legislative. Nevertheless, a comprehensive approach to AI in the life-cycle of rules - from the proposal of a new rule to its implementation, monitoring and review- is currently lacking in the rich panorama of studies from different disciplines. The analysis shows that AI has the power to play a crucial role in the life-cycle of rules, by performing time-consuming tasks, increasing access to knowledge base, and enhancing the ability of institutions to draft effective rules and to declutter the regulatory stock. However, it is not without risks, ranging from discrimination to challenges to democratic representation. In order to play a role in achieving law effectiveness while limiting the risks, a complementarity between human and AI should be reached both at the level of the AI architecture and ex post. Moreover, an incremental and experimental approach is suggested, as well as the elaboration of a general framework, to be tailored by each regulator to the specific features of its tasks, aimed at setting the rationale, the role, and adequate guardrails to AI in the life-cycle of rules. This agile approach would allow the AI revolution to display its benefits while preventing potential harms or side effects.

Programa Jovem RS Conectado no Futuro: o setor privado mercantil no ensino médio público
Authors: Fávero Altair Alberto , Pires Daniela de Oliveira , Consaltér Evandro
Published: November 2023

O artigo reflete a atuação do setor privado mercantil por meio da implementação do Programa Jovem RS Conectado no Futuro nas escolas estaduais do Rio Grande do Sul. É resultado de um estudo qualitativo, bibliográfico e documental, ancorado no método dedutivo-analítico. Aborda a influência do setor privado mercantil, em nível nacional, com o processo da Reforma do Ensino Médio e da Base Nacional Comum Curricular, e, no plano estadual, por meio do Programa Jovem RS Conectado no Futuro. Tal contexto acaba promovendo a prevalência de viés tecnicista e instrumental na condução do processo educacional nas redes públicas. Em que pese, observamos que o aprofundamento nas relações entre o público e o privado, faz com que, os espaços escolares se submetam as diretrizes do setor privado. Tanto no que se refere à mudança de propriedade, quanto ao que continua como propriedade estatal, mas passam a seguir a orientação da lógica de mercado. Através da relação entre o setor público e o privado, a execução das políticas permanece estatal, mas o privado acaba interferindo no conteúdo da educação pública, tanto no currículo quanto na gestão e organização escolar.

Authors: Leher Roberto
Published: November 2023

O artigo discute dimensões teóricas e de método sobre a mercantilização financeirizada da educação básica e superior. Defende a necessidade de articular diferentes níveis de abstração para aprofundar a análise do processo de abertura de capitais e de aquisições e fusões que vêm transformando a educação. Coloca em relevo o papel do Estado e do fundo público na consolidação deste processo e destaca o profundo significado de conversão dos grupos educacionais em sociedades anônimas sob controle crescente de empresas de private equity. Analisa e faz proposições sobre as consequências da financeirização por meio da proliferação da modalidade de educação a distância voltada para as frações mais pauperizadas da classe trabalhadora e, especificamente, para a formação de professores. Focaliza a constituição de sistemas de ensino e plataformas de trabalho e faz proposições sobre o porvir da educação pública. Ao final, destaca a necessidade de atualizar a concepção de controle social para impedir o avanço da mercantilização da educação.
Sentidos em disputa: a educação antirracista frente ao projeto educacional reacionário do MESP e do MBL no Brasil
Authors: Souza Sérgio Luiz de , Carvalho Beatriz Borges de , Lastória Andrea Coelho
Published: November 2023

Este artigo tem como foco discutir criticamente as políticas educacionais e o ensino das relações étnico-raciais em seus diálogos com a dinâmica social no Brasil. Para isto, são trabalhados fundamentos conceituais e teóricos das bases da análise do discurso, dos estudos sobre relações étnico-raciais e de pesquisas sobre as formas de atuação regressiva de supressão de direitos. Discutimos e analisamos criticamente como fundamentos de movimentos regressivos, como o Movimento Escola Sem Partido (MESP) e o Movimento Brasil Livre (MBL), são materializados em textos reproduzidos no material didático, usado nas aulas de História e Geografia, das políticas públicas de Educação do Governo do estado de São Paulo para os anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Pelas análises, percebe-se um encontro entre os discursos de movimentos que propagam um projeto educacional autoritário, como o MESP e o MBL, com as bases discursivas do material didático elaborado pelo governo paulista no que tange a estratégia ideológica de apagar a opacidade da língua para camuflar as disputas existentes pelos sentidos das palavras, das coisas e da própria história no processo educacional.

Authors: Danysh-Hashemi Shannon
Published: November 2023

This study investigates whether the COVID-19 pandemic, government Covid aids and incentive policies, and executive compensation affected the quality of the reported earnings in the leisure and hospitality industry. The pattern of changes in the Discretionary Accrual, DACC, was used as a proxy for the quality of reported earnings. It was examined whether this pattern changed during COVID-19 and was affected by government aid policies and executive compensation. An empirical analysis of 324 American leisure and travel industry data was conducted using multiple regression analysis for the pre-Pandemic period of 2018-2019 and the Pandemic period of 2020-2021. The results indicate that the pattern of DACC changed during the Pandemic period, and firms engaged in income-decreasing earnings management (EM). Furthermore, the change in the pattern was significantly affected by government aid and incentives policies and executive compensation.
Capital Age and Labor Investment Efficiency
Authors: Singh Amanjot
Published: November 2023

This study examines how capital age affects the efficiency of corporate labor investments. Using a sample of 1,588 US firms from 1991 to 2016, we find that the efficiency of labor investments increases as technology ages. Subsample analysis on labor investment efficiency suggests that old capital decreases labor over- and underinvestment. Our results remain robust to alternative specifications and restricted to small firms and industries requiring high labor skills. These findings add to the growing literature examining how learning affects a variety of phenomena in finance. Managers' increased understanding of their capital over time facilitates the efficiency of corporate labor investments.
Environmental Sustainability Strategy, Creativity, Innovation and Organizational Performance: The Role of Green Human Resource Management
Authors: Good Jessica R. L. , Singh Parbudyal , Ezzedeen Souha
Published: November 2023

This paper provides a theoretical explanation for the “black box” between “going green” and organizational performance and links individual-level behaviors with organizational-level outcomes. We argue that the adoption of an environmental sustainability strategy and high involvement green human resources management practices will have the intended impact of increasing employee green creativity and the unintended impact of increasing employee general creativity. As well, we suggest that employee green values moderate these relationships. Furthermore, the positive effects on employee creativity (green and general) are theorized to increase organizational innovation, which positively impacts organizational performance. This paper extends the research by providing a possible explanation for how the “black box” between “going green” and organizational performance is impacted by intended and unintended behaviors that are shaped by green human resources management practices.
New Empirical Evidence on Factors Influencing the Yield on High-Grade Municipal Bonds
Authors: Barth James R. , Cebula Richard J. , Nguyen Nguyen T.H.
Published: November 2023

We investigate the impact of federal budget deficits and other factors on the ex-post and ex-ante real yields on high-grade municipal bonds. The estimation results reveal that both yields increase with the real yield on 30-year Moody’s Aaa-rated bonds and provisions in the Community Reinvestment Act but decrease with net capital inflows, the real GDP growth rate, and the average effective federal income tax rate. Most importantly, both yields are increasing functions of the federal budget deficit. These results support limiting the size of federal budget deficits to avoid the excessive crowding out of private investment spending.
Service Brand Loyalty Antecedents: A Multimodal Analysis of Brand Name Attributes, and Attitudes Toward Services and Advertisements
Authors: Sciulli Lisa M.
Published: November 2023

The study investigates service brand loyalty antecedents as evidenced by brand name attributes and attitudes toward services and advertisements. Print advertisements from ten service industries are analyzed using multiple regression. A model is provided examining the influences of service type, brand name attributes, and attitudes toward the services and advertisements on respondent propensity for service brand loyalty. Significant loyalty resulted with all advertisements for attitudes toward the service provided and the advertisement with exception for airlines. Brand name attributes impacted only four services including design, healthcare, insurance, and airline offerings. Across all industries, service attitude had the greatest effect followed by advertisement attitude. Loyalty for design and insurance services was influenced by all three antecedents with the greatest impact demonstrated for health care. In contrast, airlines exhibited the least effects. Services rated as good or likeable, with brand names that sent a message and explained the service, and whose advertisements evoked useful and informative attitudes were the strongest loyalty indicators. Further insight is gained as tailored advertising strategies across industries with recognition for specific service types are recommended. A one-size standardized approach is not effective as service type is proven to have significant impact on brand loyalty. The model findings provide comprehensive support for prior recognition of service type and identified service advertisement antecedents which will then foster increased service brand loyalty.

Mobile phones are electronic telecommunication devices that have become a necessary part of life. The advances in technology will directly influence the attitude of the users in the selection of mobile phones. There are multiple criteria that need to be considered in selecting a mobile phone. Therefore, the evaluation and selection of mobile phones is a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem. This paper aims to propose a MCDM model to identify the decision criteria’ priority in the mobile phones’ selection using integrated AHP-TOPSIS model. Furthermore, the goal of the study is to find out the most desired mobile phone among Samsung, Apple, Oppo, Huawei, and Vivo. A case study is conducted to determine the priority of decision criteria and mobile phones among the undergraduate students with AHP-TOPSIS model. The results indicate that Apple is the most desired mobile phone, followed by Huawei, Samsung, Oppo, and Vivo. Besides, technical specification and user related features are the most significant decision factors in the mobile phones’ selection. The contribution of the study is to find out the most desired mobile phone and the most significant decision factor in the mobile phones’ selection among undergraduate students with AHP-TOPSIS model.

Published: November 2023

In medical image processing, active contour model is a method used to segment or extract the boundaries of an image for further processing. Recently, a selective active contour model called Selective Segmentation with Chessboard Distance (SSCD) model has been proposed to effectively segment a particular object in an image. However, the SSCD model has problems in extracting noisy images, which may result in poor segmentation. It is known that the presence of noise in some medical images cannot be avoided and can lead to poor segmentation. The aim of this research is therefore to reformulate the SSCD model to segment some medical images with noise. The modification is done by considering two different image denoising algorithms, the Gaussian filter and the bilateral filter, as new fitting terms in the SSCD model, resulting in two variants of modified SSCD models, referred to as SSCDG and SSCDB, respectively. The accuracy of the segmented image was evaluated using the Jaccard (JSC) and Dice similarity coefficient (DSC). Numerical experiments showed that the proposed SSCDG model based on the Gaussian filter denoising algorithm has the highest JSC and DSC values, which means the highest segmentation accuracy compared to the SSCD and SSCDB models. In the future, the proposed model can be extended to three-dimensional and color formulations.
Incidence of Endocrine-Related Dysfunction in Patients Treated with New Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: A Meta-Analysis and Comprehensive Review
Authors: Yoo Won Sang , Ku Eu Jeong , Lee Eun Kyung , Ahn Hwa Young
Published: November 2023

Background: This study investigated the incidence of endocrine immune-related adverse events (irAEs) for recently developed immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) drugs.Methods: We collected studies on newly developed ICI drugs using PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library from inception through January 31, 2023. Among ICI drugs, nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and ipilimumab were excluded from the new ICI drugs because many papers on endocrine-related side effects have already been published.Results: A total of 44,595 patients from 177 studies were included in this analysis. The incidence of hypothyroidism was 10.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 8.9% to 11.4%), thyrotoxicosis was 4.6% (95% CI, 3.8% to 5.7%), hypophysitis was 0.8% (95% CI, 0.5% to 1.1%), adrenal insufficiency was 0.9% (95% CI, 0.7% to 1.1%), and hyperglycemia was 2.3% (95% CI, 1.6% to 3.4%). Hypothyroidism and thyrotoxicosis occurred most frequently with programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitors (13.7% and 7.5%, respectively). The rate of endocrine side effects for the combination of a programmed death-ligand 1 inhibitor (durvalumab) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 inhibitor (tremelimumab) was higher than that of monotherapy. In a meta-analysis, the combination of tremelimumab and durvalumab had a 9- to 10-fold higher risk of pituitary and adrenal-related side effects than durvalumab alone.Conclusion: Newly developed PD-1 inhibitors had a high incidence of thyroid-related irAEs, and combined treatment with durvalumab and tremelimumab increased the risk of pituitary- and adrenal-related irAEs. Based on these facts, it is necessary to predict the endocrine side effects corresponding to each ICI drug, diagnose and treat them appropriately, and try to reduce the morbidity and mortality of patients.

This research aims to determine the influence of self-esteem on consumer behavior among students in Banjarmasin. The population in this study were students in the city of Banjarmasin. Data were collected using two scales, namely, the 31-item Consumer Behavior Scale (α= 0.955) and the 21-item Self-Esteem Scale (α= 0.918). The research subjects were students in Banjarmasin with a total of 200 subjects and the sample was determined using non-probability sampling using purposive sampling. Based on data analysis in this research through statistical testing using the Pearson product moment correlation technique, it can be concluded that there is a positive and significant influence between self-esteem and consumer behavior in students. The results of this research are that there is a significant influence between self-esteem and consumer behavior. The coefficient of determination (R square) is 0.281 with a value (Sig.) of 0.000, meaning that there is an influence between the influence of self-esteem on consumer behavior of 28%, which means 72% is influenced by other factors.
The Intracluster Light and Its Link with the Dynamical State of the Host Group/Cluster: The Role of the Halo Concentration

We investigate the role of halo concentration in the formation of intracluster light (ICL) in galaxy groups and clusters, as predicted by a state-of-the-art semianalytic model of galaxy formation, coupled with a set of high-resolution dark-matter-only simulations. The analysis focuses on how the fraction of ICL correlates with halo mass, concentration, and fraction of early-type galaxies (ETGs) in a large sample of groups and clusters with

. The fraction of ICL follows a normal distribution, a consequence of the stochastic nature of the physical processes responsible for the formation of the diffuse light. The fractional budget of ICL depends on both halo mass (very weakly) until group scales, and concentration (remarkably). More interestingly, the ICL fraction is higher in more concentrated objects, a result of the stronger tidal forces acting in the innermost regions of the halos where the concentration is the quantity playing the most relevant role. Our model predictions do not show any dependence between the ICL and ETGs fractions, and so we instead suggest the concentration rather than the mass, as recently claimed, to be the main driver of the ICL formation. The diffuse light starts to form in groups via stellar stripping and mergers and later assembled in more-massive objects. However, the formation and assembly keep going on group/cluster scales at lower redshift through the same processes, mainly via stellar stripping in the vicinity of the central regions where tidal forces are stronger.
A Lack of 9 s Periodicity in the Follow-up NuSTAR Observation of LS 5039
Authors: Kargaltsev Oleg , Hare Jeremy , Volkov Igor , Lange Alexander
Published: November 2023

The Nuclear Spectroscopic Array (NuSTAR) observed the gamma-ray binary LS 5039 for a second time in order to check for the presence of a periodic signal candidate found in the data from the previous NuSTAR observation. We do not detect the candidate signal in the vicinity of its previously reported frequency, assuming the same orbital ephemeris as in our previous paper. This implies that the previously reported periodic signal candidate was a noise fluctuation. We also perform a comparison of the lightcurves from the two NuSTAR observations and the joint spectral fitting. Our spectral analysis confirms the phase dependence found from a single NuSTAR observation at a higher significance level.

Inspired by the conundrum of the gravitational event GW190814, which brings to light the coalescence of a 23 M

gravity by employing the method of gravitational decoupling. We impose a quadratic equation of state (EOS) for the interior matter distribution, which in the appropriate limit reduces to the MIT bag model. The governing field equations arising from gravitational decoupling bifurcate into the

sectors, leading to two distinct classes of solutions. Both families of solutions are subjected to rigorous tests, qualifying them to describe a plethora of compact objects, including neutron stars, strange stars, and the possible progenitor of the secondary component of GW190814. Using observational data of mass–radius relations for compact objects LMC X-4, Cen X-3, PSR J1614–2230, and PSR J0740+6620, we show that it is possible to generate stellar masses and radii beyond 2.0 M
⊙ for neutron stars. Our findings reveal that the most suitable and versatile model in this framework is the quadratic EOS, which accounts for a range of low-mass stars and typical stellar candidates describing the secondary component of GW190814.

The broadband solar K-corona is linearly polarized due to Thomson scattering. Various strategies have been used to represent coronal polarization. Here, we present a new way to visualize the polarized corona, using observations from the 2023 April 20 total solar eclipse in Australia in support of the Citizen CATE 2024 project. We convert observations in the common four-polarizer orthogonal basis (0°, 45°, 90°, & 135°) to −60°, 0°, and +60° (MZP) polarization, which is homologous to R, G, B color channels. The unique image generated provides some sense of how humans might visualize polarization if we could perceive it in the same way we perceive color.
