User experience is a science that studies how to design and change a user's feelings, perceptions and behavior towards a display, service and performance of a product, system or service. User experience (UX) assesses how satisfied and comfortable a person is with a product, system and service. The user interface is one of the factors that determines the increase in traffic on a website. Because users interact with programming logic through the user interface. And the design of the user interface itself is very important considering that the more effective and efficient a design is, the more comfortable the user will be to linger on the website. The user interface is one of the most important factors in building a website. E-commerce is a dynamic set of application technologies and business processes that connect companies, consumers and certain communities through electronic transactions and trading of goods, services and information that is carried out electronically. The UI/UX on the Batik Duo Serangkai Jambi e-commerce website is to provide a solution to enhance the transparent postage feature, display popular products, increase information about product color and size, and create a visual experience that spoils the eyes for customers.

Dietary Acid Load and Relationship with Diseases
Authors: Güngör Sedef
Published: July 2024

The acid-base balance of the human body is influenced by the nutritional intake and dietary composition of individuals. It is of paramount importance to maintain this equilibrium for the optimal health of humans. The body receives acid or alkaline precursors from dietary intake. In general, the consumption of animal-based foods results in an acid load, whereas the consumption of plant-based foods contributes to an alkaline load. Diets high in dietary acid load cause a state of diet-induced metabolic acidosis, which is associated with the development of cardiometabolic diseases. The significance of dietary acid-base balance in the context of cardiometabolic diseases, which have emerged as a significant contributor to global morbidity, is now being acknowledged in the literature. The objective of this review is to examine the existing evidence concerning the relationship between dietary acid load and chronic diseases and metabolic disorders, as well as the potential mechanisms underlying their development.

Keywords: Dietary acid load, non-communicable diseases, potential renal acid load, net endogenous acid production

Authors: Sailo Huntharhmachhuani , Varghese Divya
Published: July 2024

Aims: This article aims to review academic stress, its sources, effects and coping mechanisms among college students.
Background: Stress has become part of students’ academic life due to the various internal and external expectations placed upon their shoulders. It therefore, becomes imperative to understand the sources and effects of academic stress. Academic stress refers to the emotional and physical strain experienced by students as a result of the demands and pressures of academic life. This stress can stem from various sources such as the pressure to perform well academically, the competition for grades and recognition, and the expectations set by peers, family, and society. Stress is always regarded as a psychological process that involves an individual’s personal interpretation and response to any threatening event.
Coping is an important predictor of stress among college students. Individual used coping mechanisms to manage their stress and negative emotions. The way students cope with stress can have a significant impact on their stress levels and overall well-being.
Findings: Majority of the students considered academic related stressors to be the source of high stress which is followed by inter and intra-personal related stressors. Gender, educational period, school type, family socioeconomic status, and father’s education were associated with academic stress. Watching movies and comedies, prayer, sharing their problems with friends, with their parents and teachers were mostly adopted by the students for coping their stress.
Conclusion: The students are primarily stressed by the inadequacy of proper support. There are many personal and social factors that contribute to Students stress. Lack of clarification and unavailability of right career consultants contribute to unidirectional objectives, and even after they graduate, students become clueless and vulnerable in their jobs.

Keywords: Academic stress, College students, Source of stress, Effect of stress, Coping mechanisms.

Understanding Power Dynamics: A Triangulated Analysis of Organizational Theory and Job Demand-Resource Model
Authors: Shaikh Maria , Sultan Muhammad Faisal , Khoso Imamuddin
Published: July 2024

Organizational politics is a form of unwanted work outcome that negatively impacts the organization and the performance of others. However, it is a considerable concern in every form of organization and several studies reflect the impact of organizational politics on employee behavior and intention to quit. Most of the time organizational politics has been perceived by lower-level employees and due to perception, they tend to be negative towards the work situation and also try to quit the problem. However, Pakistan is experiencing a severe lack of nursing professionals, and the brain drain is affecting the performance of hospitals and educational institutes and the goodwill and well-being of the country. It has also been determined that the intention to quit is affecting nurses pursuing duties in hospitals as well as in other sectors. Hence, this study takes the reference of nurses working as faculty in nursing institutions in Karachi to analyze the impact of organizational politics on the intention to quit. The data was collected through quota sampling to collect data from nurses who are faculty members rather than principals, administrators & coordinators. SMART-PLS has been used to analyze the impact of organizational politics on employees’ intention to leave with the mediation of stress and the results of the study indicated that triangulation of theories is effective. However, their perceived organizational politics have severe negative outcomes, especially in employee’s intention to quit.

Published: July 2024

Wastewater is a contemporary problem as population density increases. Every household living in urban areas will definitely need a waste water disposal site. This research was conducted to determine the levels of iron and mercury. This is done to ensure that the levels of ferrous metal and mercury in the outlet comply with predetermined requirements. The side effect of metal iron and mercury is that if the outlet contains too many levels, the outlet cannot be channeled directly to residential areas, which if released can endanger the health of the community. Quantitative tests were carried out to determine iron content using the flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry method at a wavelength of 248.3 nm and to determine mercury content using the Mercury Vaporizer Unit (MVU) method using atomic absorption spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 253.7 nm. The results of testing for ferrous metal levels in the outlet sample were 0.1969 mg/L. Meanwhile, the mercury level in the outlet sample was 0.0012 mg/L, based on Minister of Environment and Forestry RI No. 05 of 2014 it can be concluded that the levels of ferrous metal (Fe) and mercury (Hg) contained in the outlet wastewater are below the established environmental quality standards.

The Mechanism of Over-Equilibrium in China's Shadow Education Market and Its Social Crisis
Authors: Origele
Published: July 2024

In China, many problems seen in the compulsory education period are caused by the over-equilibrium of the shadow education market, i.e. people’s excess demands for and excess supply of shadow education. The over-equilibrium is the result of excess demand and excess supply in the shadow education market. The excess demand is attributed to unbalanced human capital ROI, strong signal functions of diplomas, vicious competition and ignorance of leisure. The disordered development of capital in the shadow education industry leads to excess supply. The excess demand and excess supply give rise to great scale of shadow education, harming the students, parents, teachers, schools and the society. The policy to ease the burden of excessive homework and off-campus tutoring for students undergoing compulsory education (the “Double Reduction Policy”) is effective in solving the over-equilibrium in the shadow education market from the perspectives of both demand and supply.

Published: July 2024

The elastic moduli and the indentation behavior of glasses from the xLi2O-5Al2O3-(95−x)B2O3 system, with x = 35, 40, and 50 were characterized. Glasses become softer and less resistant to indentation cracking as the lithium content is increased, as a result of increasing the numbers of 3-fold coordinated boron and non-bridging oxygen atoms in this composition range. In parallel, the ionic conductivity at 25 °C is increased from 3.7 10–10 to 5.5 10–8 S∙cm–1, and the activation energy, as measured in the 10 to 90 °C ranges is between 55 (50 % Li2O) and 65 (35 % Li2O) kJ∙mol–1, which shows that the ionic diffusion of lithium is easier in Li-rich compositions. Measurements of the conductivity under a compressive load aligned with the electric field revealed a mechanical-electrical coupling. The change of the activation energy with the stress is associated with an activation volume, and thus a stress sensitivity, that is increased with the lithium content.

Modelling the Lengths of Quantitative Motifs in Pseudorandom Integer Sequences
Authors: Wilson Andrew
Published: July 2024

This study explores the behaviour of quantitative motifs in random numerical data, focussing on the property of length. One hundred and twenty sequences of pseudorandom integers were generated and segmented into quantitative motifs using the standard definition. The length–frequency relationship was modelled in each case using the Zipf-Alekseev function. Different combinations of sequence length, integer range, and pseudorandom number generator were trialled. The model-fitting was successful in all cases (𝑅2 1 > 0.9 in 118/120 cases and > 0.8 in 2/120), and the model parameters fell in the same range as those obtained in a previous textual study of motifs. Integer range was the main factor affecting the parameter values, with sequence length affecting the degree of spread. Further comparisons between textual and random data are needed, as well as a theoretical explanation of why motifs in random data demonstrate lawful behaviour. In future textual motif studies, particular attention needs to be paid to possible dependencies on value range and text length.
Attenuation of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness with Acute Consumption of Essential Amino Acids
Authors: Szych Klaudia , Gomez Ariel , Barlow Matthew
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Prior studies of the acute benefits of protein supplementation have determined a benefit in improving post-exercise muscle anabolism and aiding the recovery of muscle function and performance. Previous acute protein supplement studies in post-exercise protein synthesis and anabolic intracellular signaling reported no attenuation in muscle damage or elevated muscle function. The aim of this study is to implement a specific content of essential amino acids with resistance and aerobic exercises to quantify the difference in strength, endurance, and flexibility during the delayed onset muscle soreness common with a new exercise protocol.
Methods: We enrolled 42 participants (22 EAA and 20 Controls) completed an hour-long aerobic and resistance exercise protocol including flexibility, resistance, and aerobic exercises for three consecutive days. The study participants were randomly assigned to the EAA (6.6g) per day (EAA + Gatorade) group or the control (Gatorade) group. The data was analyzed in a double-blinded format.
Results: Both groups improved the initial flexibility respectively throughout the three exercise days but were not significantly different (p=0.32) in the sit and reach. For the resistance/power activities, the EAA group improved in the repetitions for push-ups (p=0.014 vs 0.21) and dips (0.0002 vs 0.59) compared to the controls. The EAA group was faster although not statistically significant in the 20-meter sprint and improved in the 1.5-mile run during the third day (P=0.002 vs 0.48) compared to the control group.
Conclusions: The data in the results supports that acute ingestion of the essential amino acid supplements provides increased physical performance and decreases the DOMS symptoms in sedentary participants over the three-day trial period of exercise.
Creatine Supplementation May Attenuate the Decrement in Exercise Performance during Low Carbohydrate Diets in Recreationally Trained Individuals
Authors: Born Stephanie , Rotarius Timothy , Van Wasshenova Emily , Lauver Jakob , Thistlethwaite John , Scheuermann Barry
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Low carbohydrate (L-CHO) diets may be an effective means for weight loss; however, these L-CHO diets often result in decreases in exercise performance during high-intensity, interval exercise test (HIIET).
Methods:  Nineteen, healthy, recreationally active adults participated in this study. Subjects were assigned to one of three groups: control (CON), L-CHO diet w/ placebo (L-CHO), or L-CHO diet w/ creatine supplementation (L-CHO+Cr). Subjects performed HIIET to fatigue at 90% peak power output (PPO) with a 1:1 work-to-recovery ratio of 30 s. Dietary intervention consisted of <30% total intake of carbohydrates, while creatine supplementation consisted of a standard loading dose (20 g/day) or placebo (5 g/day).
Results: There was no statistically significant difference in HIIET performance (# of intervals completed) in the L-CHO+Cr group (Pre-: 28.9 ± 18.6; Post-: 32.4 ± 18.3, p > 0.05). When expressed as a % change from pre-dietary intervention, L-CHO resulted in the greatest decrease in HIIET performance (L-CHO: -35 ± 14; CON: 12 ± 10; L-CHO+Cr: 31 ± 11 % change from pre-, p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The addition of a standard loading dose of creatine during a L-CHO diet may help to attenuate the decrement in HIIET performance.

Introduction : Les manifestations adverses post immunisations (MAPI) représentent l’ensemble desincidents survenant après une vaccination. Le développement rapide des vaccins contre la COVID-19a suscité des rumeurs et des inquiétudes. Alors, il s’avère nécessaire d'évaluer les MAPI notifiées parles agents de santé, afin de contribuer à lutter contre la réticence et l’hésitation à la vaccination. Matérielet méthodes : Une étude transversale auprès des agents de santé vaccinés a été réalisée dans le CentreHospitalier Universitaire Yalgado Ouédraogo du 14 Juin 2021 au 13 Mars 2022. Une régressionlogistique uni et multivariée au seuil de significativité statistique de 0,05 a été utilisée pour identifierles facteurs associés. Résultats : L’étude a concerné 247 agents de santé chez qui 212 (32,8%) ontprésenté au moins un MAPI dont 210 mineures et deux majeures. L’âge moyen était de 41,7± 0,8 ans.Le sexe ratio était de 2,4. Parmi eux, le personnel médical et paramédical était respectivement aunombre de 157(63,6%) et 90(36,4%). Les différentes MAPI survenant en moins de 24h étaient lescéphalées (51,8%), douleurs au point d’injection (47,8%), myalgies (44,1%), asthénie (42,5%) et lafièvre (35,2%). Dans 1/3 des cas, elles disparaissaient en moins de 24h. Les participants âgés de plusde 45 ans (OR= 2,17[1-4,7], p=0,049) et de sexe féminin (OR= 3,04[1,1-8,30], p=0,029) étaient associésà la survenue de MAPI. Conclusion : L’étude des MAPI liées aux vaccins anti-COVID-19 chez lesagents de santé permet de renforcer l’adhésion vaccinale pour une meilleure lutte contre cette pandémieà Coronavirus

The identification of homogeneous spatial domains is an important step in mineral resource modeling. Inspired by the growing integration of machine learning into geostatistical modeling, this study addresses the fuzzy algorithm for automated definition of typological classes, thus improving the reliability of information. The biggest challenge in building the 3D model is optimizing the time spent grouping the domains since 53% of the samples in the database have inaccurate lithological descriptions. A combination of statistical analyzes of grades and geological characteristics was carried out to set up the fuzzy inference system based on expert knowledge. The results were verified by comparing the clustering obtained with other machine learning techniques. The algorithm proved to be effective in maintaining a better separation of typologies. Other benefits achieved using computational intelligence were the quantification of uncertainty in lithological descriptions; replicability and standardization of concepts for defining groups and automation of steps, allowing agile updating of the model when new data is inserted

This study investigates the association between the TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism and major depressive disorder (MDD) using a case-control approach. The study sample comprised 97 individuals: 16 in the case group diagnosed with MDD and 81 in the control group. Genotyping was conducted using the PCR-RFLP technique, with the genotypic frequencies calculated by direct counting and statistical significance at 5% (P<0.05). Results indicated that the TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism's Pro allele was significantly more frequent in the MDD case group. These findings suggest that the Pro allele is associated with an increased risk of developing major depressive disorder.

This article deals, as an object, with the main legal achievements of the protective system established in the search for equalization of conditions and accessibility, in general, for people with disabilities, with a focus on inclusion through work, notably analyzing Decree nº 11,793/23, which establishes the National Plan for the Rights of People with Disabilities. As an objective, it seeks to present the main obstacles still found and active, in the social environment and work-corporate environment, so that this inclusion becomes effective, especially due to ableism, in addition to focusing on the paradigmatic changes in confronting exclusion, found in this process. As a methodology, it uses doctrinal and legal analysis. As a partial result, this gap is indicated between legal formulations, of a formal nature, in comparison with effective inclusion, still marked by misinformation and historical and structural prejudices, naturalized in the social environment.
